Get ready for a cool new card game that connects to a parallel universe! Special cards act as portals, bringing monsters to earth to be buddies with humans. And through friendship and courage, help them take on fight challenges. It's called….Buddyfight.
It was deep in the lanes between where the Dimensional Hero crew awaited for the return of some members. It was then the the lights in back dinged loudly before it opened as smoke poured out. Stepping through leading the group was a guy with pink hair and a bandaged arm.
"We're...BACK!" he shouted.
The lights then came on as the heroes welcomed Natsu, fire dragon slayer, back with a party, and a banner that said " welcome back, Fairy Tail!"
"We were wondering when you'd get back. Things haven't been quite the same without you guys." Dan said.
"We heard the guild disbanded." Sci-Twi said.
"It did, but...we started it back up again." Natsu grinned.
"Man, Natsu. You look a little different. More...hotheaded?" Luffy asked.
'Yep. I've been training for a whole year!" Natsu said.
"You mightve gotten stronger. Cant wait. And where are the others?" Jexi asked.
"I'm here!" said a familiar blue cat flying in as Lucy followed behind him.
"Hi. Its been too long." Lucy said.
"Lucy, good to see you!" Nami said. "Youre looking good."
Lucy was wearing a simple shirt with short and had her long hair in a single pony tail.
"Thanks. Things were pretty hard with the Tartaros guild...even cost me a friend." Lucy said holding a broken key.
"Aquarius…." Tails said.
"I had to do it, other wise I wouldnt have summoned the Celestial Spirit King to save my guildmates." Lucy said.
"Youve improved. I wonder what else youve learned?" Jexi said.
"You should see if for yourself. Lucy can do this awesome out fit switch now that lets her absorb her spirits powers!" Happy said.
'Its called Star Dress. I gained it after I lost Aquarius." Lucy said.
"Cant wait to see it. But… is anyone else with you?" Ulrich asked.
The air then got cold quick as the next to walk in was Gray with Juvia close behind him.
"Sup?" Gray said.
"Gray, even I felt that. What kinda training you've been doing?" Usopp asked.
"The proof is here." Gray said showing dark markings on his arm. "I'm a Devil Slayer now."
"So that meant Silver really was your dad, and a Makai villain." Indigo said.
"Yeah. He's gone now. But, I'll make sure and carry on his last wish...and I'll kill E. N. D." Gray said as Juvia clung close.
"Oh my darling." Juvia said.
"Heh. Still attached to Gray as ever, Juvia. Some things never change." Rarity said.
"Uh huh. We shared a house together." Juvia said.
"What? Gray?" Odd said.
"She's grown on me. What can I say?" Gray said.
"And wher'es Erza? She cant have missed an opportunity to…" Zoro said before drawing his swords and blocked and parrying a quick sword attack from behind. "Nice, you've gotten faster."
Erza stood there with a serious expression. "You think I would remain in Fiore even after being named Guildmaster?" Erza said.
"You? Guildmaster?" Sunset said.
"It's true. We took a vote. Erza is the 7th guildmaster of Fairy Tail." Lucy said.
"Wow, you guys have really changed. And I can see that… even in the smallest of us." Jexi said. "Isn't that right, Wendy?"
Next in was Wendy followed by a girl with white hair and cat ears and a tail.
"Hi everyone." Wendy said.
"Whoa, is that supposed to be Carla?" Jibanyan said.
"Yes. I've taken to learning Transformation Magic since we last met." Carla said.
"Wow. She's hot." Sanji said before almost being hit by a metal pillar.
"Curly brow...you're under arrest for being a perv." said a gruff voice as Gajeel walked in.
"Gajeel." Jexi said as the two grasped hands. "Good to see you. And… are you a policeman now?"
"No, the three of us served on the Rune Knights during that one year." Pantherlily said walking in with Levi.
"Yeah. I'm the law here!" Gajeel said.
"Wow, you guys are cool. Now all were missing is four more." Rainbow said.
"We're right here." said a voice as the last four walking in were Lisanna, Mirajane, Elfman and Cana.
"Hey guys. Even you all seem stronger." Yumi said.
"Well, it has been over a year." LIsanna said.
"We aren't falling behind here." Cana said.
"Well, here we all are once again." Jexi smiled.
"Yeah. We're finally all together again. One big happy family!" Pinkie said.
"Tis quite a sight. So this is human bonds." said a voice.
"Whos that? A medival king?" Natsu said.
Coming out from the hall way was a monster. He was human like with a crowd and dressed in medival theme.
"Oh, right. This is King Arthur. He was one of the buddy monsters from all those packs we bought." Jexi said.
"So he's your buddy for this game huh? Wow, first Bakugan and now this." Natsu said before Tails came with decks.
"We even made decks for you guys too. One for Natsu, one for Wendy, One for Gajeel, one for Lucy, one for Erza." Tails said.
Natsu looked at the cards.
"Sweet, dragons! But… they all look kinda weird." Natsu said.
"They're from Dragon World. Dragon's there are different." Rainbow said.
"Huh? I got some dragons along with weird armor monsters." Gajeel said.
"Cards I handpicked from the Danger World." Franky said.
"Uh, I'm pretty sure youre not supposed to mix the worlds together." Sci-Twi said.
"He didn't. Danger Worlds got dragons too. Duel Dragons." Rainbow said.
"And Hope, he hasnt opened his pack yet?" Jexi said.
"No. BUt I can guess hes gonna do it soon." Franky said before a ship came by.
"Speak of the devil." Gray said.
"Looks like he made it and found us. Lets go greet him in the docking tube." Jexi said.
The others walked to the docking tube as Rainbow thought for a minute.
"This is missing something. Where is that opening theme… here it is! Ahem, play Card of the Future." Rainbow said.
The music started up and the heroes of both teams walked to each other.

Hope and group walked in as the song just ended.
"That song… it never gets old, dont it?" Hope said.
"Heck ya it doesn't!" Rainbow said.
"Welcome back, Hope!" the whole team shouted.
"Aw, you guys…" Hope said.
"Man, you seem pumped for this game." Natsu said. "You must like it or somethin."
"Natsu." Hope said. "Its been awhile, but you never change. I saw your message of flame on the net. You caused a riot."
"Heh. Since when don't I cause a riot. It's what Fairy Tail does!" Natsu said.
"But its nice to have you all back. And… I got some people I would like you to meet." Hope said. Four people came behind him. One familiar to them, as she was snacking on a chocolate bar.
"Lacy, give that back, thats mine!" said a red head with a bow in her hair.
"No way. I'm already eating it and its so good." Lacy said before she swallowed the whole thing.
"Aw man…!" the red head said.
"Blossom, dont feel bad, its just a choco bar." a blonde girl said.
"I know, but it was…!" Blossom said. "Argh!"
"Ahem!" said a black haired girl. "Were in front of Hope's friends?"
The three then turned to Jexi and co and snapped out of what they were doing before.
"Eeek! Jexi the Hunter! I am so, so sorry you had to see that! M-my names Blossom, I'm a huge fan, but… its surprising, but I just became a superhero and I look up to all of you a lot and I just cant…." Blossom went on before Zoro lifted her.
"Okay, take a breath before you die of lack of oxygen." Zoro said.
"Yes, Master Pirate Hunter!" Blossom said with determination.
"Uh….there a reason you're taking in little girls now?" Vector asked.
"I mean it, they're rookies. Hang on a sec, whered it go… ah hah!" Hope said bringing out a recorder.
"Wait, youre gonna show em right now?" The black one said.
"We talked about this, it doesnt matter what you wear." Hope said pressing a button.
"Power Puff Girls, we need you!"
The girls quickly glowed as they changed into skirts, jackets and gloves of their corresponding colors.
"Aw man. I thought something cool was gonna happen." Anima said. "So lame."
"Lame?" the black haired one said suddenly flying in the air.
"Whoa! SHe's flying!" Luffy said.
"Not just that, y'know. They have super powers. Meet Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup, rookies from New Townsville." Alisa said.
"Wasn't that the place heard somewhere? Oh, its that lame town where nothing happens." Rainbow said. "Apart from these three."
"And lastly…" Hope said pointing to lacy.
"You had the guts to put Lacy on your team?" Jexi said before hope whispered something in his ear.
"In reality, and dont tell Lacy this, or Cece's gonna have both our necks." Hope said. "Cece sent her to me because she was eating their funds. She wants her with me to train the appetite of hers."
"My lips are sealed." Jexi said.
"So Hope, you havent opened up those packs yet?" Sanji asked.
"Nope. I just figured that if I wanna do it, I gotta do it where it all started. So we were headed to Cho-Tokyo before we saw you guys on the way. Wanna come with?" Hope said.
"We were headed there anyway." Jexi said. "We were just waiting for you and Fairy Tail."
"Then lets hit it!" Natsu said.
The ships rocketed in the lanes until reaching a city resembling tokyo, but more futuristic.
"Wow. Its so awesome!" Komasan said.
"Hey guys, look down there!" Natsu said.
Driving along the road was a police car, sirens on.
"A patrol car?" Robin asked.
"Scanning police frequencies in area now." Franky said. They picked something up.
"The fugitive fighter was last seen feeing city center. Suspect is currently climbing to the top of the Sky Tower."
"A criminal fighter on the run, by the looks of it." Hope said.
"Wait, if this is a criminal fighter. Then that means…" Blossom said.
The door then opened as a young man with blue hair poked his head our as he tossed a card out. From it came a dragon with a blade on his head as well as armor and green scales and wings.
"Lets go to work, Jack!" he said. "Down here!"
Jack flew closer to the car and his eyes glowed. The deck case the boy was holding started to glow and change into a disc like object.
"Buddy Skill On." a computer said as Tasuku climbed out as a green fire came from his feet as he flew in mid air toward the tower.
"EEEK! It;s really him! Its Tasuku Ryuenji!" Blossom said.
"No fooling? Thats him?" Hope said.
Tasuku hurried to the tower. It was here that the criminal in question was cornered.
"Step on it, were gonna miss the action!" Blossom said.
"Aw yeah!" Hope said as their shops flew closer. And just in time too.
"Buddy police barrier!" Tasuku said as a satellite above shined a ray town, erecting a barrier that locked in on both the criminal and Tasuku's own decks. "The way I see it, you have two options here. Either surrender peacefully, or accept my buddy fight challenge."
"Bring it on, punk!" the criminal said. "Lumenize!"
"Assemble, dragon army! Dragonic Force Lumenize!" Tasuku said pulling out his deck.
They then rose their flags. The guy had a generic deck while Tasuku's had a dragon body on it with a sword and spear.
"Oh yeah baby. Front row seats, close to the action. My kinda location." Natsu said.
"So thats Tasuku Ryuenji huh?" Jexi said. "Looks pretty strong."
"Strong? You have no idea. According to the stats, that guy has NEVER lost a fight to a criminal once. Ever." Hope said.
"Wow, really? He must be crazy good!" Luffy said.
"Uh, guys? While youre talking, theyre already in the third turn." Ruby said.
"Huh?" Jexi said.
"Attack, Jackknife Dragon!" Tasuku said as Jack charged in.
"Get im!" the criminal said as his buddy, Combat Unit, Guardian Rook, charged in. They clashed for a second before Jack whipped his blade out and sent the other monster tumbling down the tower.
"Where d'you think youre going?!" Jack said slicing him up as it vanished in a blast of orange cards.
"Wow!" Bubbles said.
"Remember it well, this is the blade of justice that terminates evil!" Tasuku siad.
"Oh, hes gonna use it!" Blossom said.
"Use what?" Jexi said.
"Unleash!" Tasuku said as from stormy clouds, a giant dragon hand grabbed a blade grip and ripped it from a ton of chains from nowhere.
"Whoa, you seeing this?!" Franky said.
"All im thinking is… that is one huge sword." Zoro siad.
"Impact Card!" Tasuku said as the sword was brandished in the form of a flaming blade. He then dashed forward and screeched to a halt.
"Uh oh…" Hope said. "Time to back up, its comin down!"
"Gargantua….PUNISHER!" Tasuku shouted as the sword sliced through the tower, and the fighter. His core deck case broke apart, scattering his cards and his flag burst into orange cards too.
"Winner: Tasuku Ryuenji!" the computer said.
"That was… AWESOME!" Rainbow said.
"Eh. Not a big deal. Me and Shulk did the same thing back on Mechonis." Toma said.
"That also relates back to the move Volt did." Hope said.
"Gargantua Punisher is a super rare card in buddyfight. When your opponent has 4 or less life points, and both center areas are open, you can use this impact card. It can't be nullified or damage reduced." Komajiro said.
"How did you know that?" Hope asked.
"Well, when we were talkin about playing the game, I bought the card catalog that always updates." Komajiro said. "I can't put it down."
"Wow." Hope said taking his lone pack. "Well, thats one dose of excitement. Lets hit the town and see who lives here other that Tasuku."
"With ya on that. Good chance to get some boosters." Jexi said.
They landed where no one could see the ships as hope sped off on his bike. He drove a to a mall and saw three older kids picking on a kid in a light blue jacket and pants and turquoise hair.
"Listen up kid, and I'm only gonna say this once. You got any rares, fork em over right now." the leader said.
"I already told you… I dont play buddy fight." The boy said.
"Then I'm gonna have to charge ya for wasting our time." the leader said.
"Hey, fellas!" hope said getting off his bike.
"Huh? Whore you?" the leader said.
"Me? Just a traveler whos passing through. But come on, three guys against one defenseless kid?" Hope said.
"Okay, we'll just beat you up instead." the leader said as Natsu walked past Hope.
"Wait, you don't need to…" Hope said before seeing Natsu skillfully dodge their strikes without hitting back or taking a hit, while making his way to the kid. Natsu then grabbed his arm before jumping over the three and landed with the group.
"What the..?" the leader said.
"If I were you, I'd stay outta this." Hope said.
"Yeah? Well lemme call up my guys, I got 50 of em!" the leader said.
"Really? 50? Bring em on!" Natsu said.
"Save some for me, man!" a new voice said.
"Huh?" Natsu said. Behind him, a boy with black hair with one red streak in a shirt with the sun on it, jeans and a cap on came up between the group. He then whipped out a jacket and turned it the right way in.
"WHo are you… supposed to be?" Hope said.
"Eclipsing the darkness with flames and brightening the hearts of the mistreated, The Mighty Sun Fighter is here!" the boy said.
"Whoa…!" Luffy said.
"The Mighty…" Hope said.
"...Sun Fighter?" Jexi said.
"I've always dreamed of fighting 100 guys. So please, call another 50." he said.
"Hey, are you crazy? Youre just a kid!" Lucy said.
"Get him!" the guy said. Just like natsu, the boy skilfully evaded the bullies, but he used throws and controlled strikes.
"Hey, that fighting style, Ive seen it before." Buttercup siad.
"He knows Aikijutsu?" Jexi said. Soon, he had the three exhausted.
"Well? Whatre you waiting for? Call em out." the boy said. "The Mighty Sun Fighter will take you all on?"
"I think he's serious." Nami said.
"He's a dead man." Yosuke said before the kids cell began ringing.
"Aw man. What is it now?" the boy said answering.
"WHY ARE YOU KEEPING ME WAITING?" a voice on the other line shouted.
"Well, it was the funniest thing. You see, this kid-" he began.
"DON'T LIE TO ME! YOU BETTER COME HOME RIGHT NOW!" the voice said before hanging up.
"Ow…" Hope said. "Hey, kid, looks like you'll have to postpone this little showdown."
"Youre right about that." the boy said.
"Not a chance! Get them, all of them!" the leader said.
"Oh please." Jexi said as he grabbed all of them and held them down.
Hope then grabbed the other boy.
"Time to go, kid!" Hope said.
"Right behind ya!" the one with the sun shirt said as they all took the kid somewhere safe.
"Thank you all so much for saving me. How can I ever repay you?" the boy said.
"Dont worry about it. Just stay away from those guys, alright?" Hope said. "Hey uh, you mind us coming back with you, sun kid?"
"Uh, sure. But when we get to my place, youre gonna wanna steer clear of my mom. She might not be happy with me not coming home right away. And my name isn't sun kid. Its Gao. Gao Mikado." the boy said.
"Alrighty. Lead on, Gao." Hope said as they followed him to his house. It was like any ordinary house, but it had some sort of dojo built right into it. On the front entrance, there was kanji on a wooden board that said "Mikado Style Aikijujutsu."
Inside of the dojo, Gao was on his knees as was a woman with green hair in robes. The others were there too.
"How did we get wrapped up in this?" Ranma said.
"I told ya we shouldve snuck in through the back." Vector said.
Hope gulped. "Er, hello… Ms. Mikado. Its nice to…" Hope said before she grabbed him and twisted his arm back.
"So you are part of the reason my son got involved in a fight. For this, you will suffer 1000 push ups and intense training." she said.
"Wait, he usually does this?" Hope said,
"I forbid him not to do any actions of the Mighty sun fighter. As such, his punishment will be the same as yours." she said.
"Aw, cmon mom! He didnt even throw a punch!" Gao said.
"Gao, if this behavior continues...you will surrender that jacket of the Sun Fighter." she said.
"Gah! No please!" Gao said.
"You will have 100 push ups and extra training." she said.
"What the? He gets 100 and I get 1000? How is this fair?" Hope said.
"All right. I'll give you another 1000 than." she said.
"And on that note, were out!" Jexi said as they ran out the door leaving Hope behind.
"Oh boy.." Hope said.
"Could we get a snack first?" Gao asked.
"You can eat all you want after hell." she said with a sinister face.
"Oh man, she;s scary…" Hope said getting up and ready to fight.
"Thats my mom for you. You sure you can handle this?" Gao said changing into his own uniform.
"If I gotta live , I gotta fight. So if she insists, I'll do it." Hope said looking serious.
"Then...you're gonna die." Gao said.
The following morning, Hope was being dragged by Gao on a rope.
"Maybe this is one of those things I should have kept quiet about." Hope groaned. "I've lost...all feelings...in my arms."
"Tell me about it. Explain to me how getting thrown on your butt counts as extra training." Gao said as the got on the escalator. "You sure you wanna follow me to school? You aren't in good shape."
Hope got up and felt his legs move as he released the rope. He stretched his arms.
"You know, I've taken a lot worse beatings that that. You wouldnt believe it if I told you." Hope said. He then took out his pack. "Thank god, its not broken."
"Hey, is that a buddyfight pack? All the kids at my school are into it." Gao said.
"Sure is. Do you play?" Hope asked.
"Not really, but I got a pack last night too." Gao said showing it.
"Cool. See, this game came out in a lot of other places, yet I hear its been a bit popular here." Hope said. "This is where you can actually see the monsters come to life, right?"
"Sure. There are lots of them. Though the one I like most...Jackknife Dragon." Gao said.
"Oh, you like Tasuku too, huh?" Hope said.
"Good morning, gao." said a girls voice as behind them on the escalator was a girl in a green and white skirt with head pieces looking like lightbulbs holding a tablet. Next to her was a boy with a mechanic like look holding a toolbox.
"Kuguru and Baku. Hey." Gao said.
"Oh, and whos this?" Kuguru asked.
"Hope';s the name. Nice to meet you." Hope said. "So, what were you two up too?"
"Oh, i was just asking Baku what monster he'd like and what world to fight for. Same question for you Gao. Would you choose...Dragon World, Magic World, maybe even Danger World." Kuguru said.
"Huh. And he didnt know?" Hope said.
"No, because he's a deckbuilder and all." Kuguru said.
"Yeah, theres probably alot of things he doesnt know." Gao said.
Baku became a bit ticked and took the lolipop he was suking on out to talk.
"Yeah, right! Looks whos talking, Mr. Sun Fighter!" Baku said as both of them glared at each other.
"So, these are the three basic worlds huh?" Hope said looking at them. "Are there more?"
"Well, yes. Five more. Katana World, Ancient World, Dungeon World, Legend World and Hero World." Kuguru said.
"Well in that case, its a no brainer for me." HOpe siad. "Its gotta be Hero World for me."
Baku snapped out of his gaze and looked at Hope.
"Whoa, hold up. You, a new guy here, using a Hero World deck? Do you even know how to build your deck?" Baku asked.
"Well, I had some ideas." Hope said showing a list. "I looked up the cards in that catalog. I was thinking a mix of Brave Machines, Superheroes, y'know, guys I can relate to."
"Man, what a mix match. But...it could work." Baku said.
"You know just by looking? You must be a great deck builder." Hope said. "Oh, that reminds me. What about you Gao? What would you buddy be?"
"Hard to say, but if I had to choose, it'd be a monster that superstrong with a huge weapon to crush anything in our way. I dont know about the world, but as long as its strong, it works." Gao said.
"Why not try something from dragon world, then?" Kuguru said. "Like, just off the top of my head...a Dragon Knight."
"I dunno. Maybe something different for him." Hope said. "How about, he uses an Armordragon like Jack?"
"Huh. Yeah, that could be a way to go for me." Gao said as they entered a building.
"Please. You;re taking advice from someone that just got here?" a boy with blonde and black striped hair said above. He had a blue open vest on that showed a yellow shirt with a tigers face on it.
"And you are?" Hope asked.
"Noboru Kodo. Look, Gao, don't listen to a lame o like him. Dragon Knights are where its at. Besides, dragons are just mindless beasts without their riders." Noboru said.
'Hey, you cant say that to him! Gao, hes wrong, right?" Hope said.
"Well, Dragon Knights do some kind of cool." Gao said.
"Well, I'm sticking with hero world." Hope said.
"Really? Youre going with a world of robots and guys in cheesy costumes?" Noboru asked.
"Theyre not cheesy. And I suppose you know a bit much to call em that huh, Kitten Shirt?" Hope said.
"Its not a kitten! Its a tiger!" Noboru said.
"So, are you really gonna stick with me all the way into Aibo Academy? This is the Elementary School division, and I think you look more like some high school kid." Gao said.
"Well, I'm sure my friends will get me in somehow." Hope said before he was handed a mop and a note by a random guy. "All we could get was janitor. Sorry, Tails." he read. "Aw, come on!"
"Ouch." Gao said.
The classes soon began as Hope watched out the window as he mopped the floor.
"I should count myself lucky they aren't making me wear the jumpsuit." Hope said before seeing everyone in class getting out card packs.
"Today, we are going to write short stories using the cards inside of your packs with one of your monsters as the main character. You may begin." the teacher said.
Hope watched gao open his pack. He then took out his. "Ah, why the hell not. Screw this mop."
He dumped the mop in his bucket and ripped the pack open. He and gao happened to take their cards out at he same time.
"A Systemic Dagger Dragon." Gao said.
"Cool. The First Warrior, Einder." Hope said.
"Next one is… oh! A longtail Shield Dragon!" Gao said.
"Nice! I got Card Rhino!" Hope said.
"Sweet! A Thousand Rapier Dragon!" Gao said.
"No freakin way, I got Ironing Man!" Hope said.
"Tough Luck, you two. None of them are rare." Noboru said.
"Huh? Howd you know i was pulling mine?" Hope aske
"Cause you're doing it in front of an open window." Noboru said before Hope noticed the class staring at him.
"Ah nuts." Hope said. "Well Gao. Down to our last ones. Ready?"
"Together man." Gao said.
"On three. One two.." Hope said.
"...three!" Gao said as both of them drew their last cards. As they turned them over, the other sides started to glow and race out the class room.
"Whoa! That could only mean…!" Hope said.
"They drew buddy rares?! Both of them?!" Noboru said as the cards flew out with both Hope and Gao chasing them. Hope chased his further into the school before stopping at a stage in the auditorium. The card glowed as it took on the form of a young girl in a frilly outfit.
"I finally caugt up with you.. So youre… my buddy, huh?" Hope said.
She then stepped on Hopes foot making him scream.
"It took you long enough, you lazy bum. I've been waiting for you to open that pack!" she said.
"Ow! Hey, dont blame be for savoring the moment!" Hope said before getting a kick in the groin, dropping to his knees.
"Well, no more savoring with me, cause I am the superstar of Hero World. Uniform Warrior, Blazer Frill!" she said.
"Blazer Frill?" Hope said looking in the catalog. "Superheroine Attribute. Size 2. 6000 power, 2000 defense and 2 critical."
"Yeah. And now you have to be my buddy!" Blazer Frill said.
"Ah geez. Wait a second, youre appearance looks like those Sailors. I expected you to be like them, but… well, I guess don't judge a book by its cover." Hope said.
"We Superheroines are inspired by female heroes, mostly magical girls." Blazer Frill said.
"That explains it. Now, follow me. My friend got his buddy too." Hope said before getting punched in the gut.
"Don't tell me what to do. You follow me, got it?" Frill said.
"Ow… why do i always seem to attract those kinds of women? Well, no reason to try and do things her way. Lead on, Miss frill."
Upon arriving, they saw Gao with a large dragon with a drill confronted by Tasuku and Jackknife dragon.
"So there you are. I was wondering where that other buddy monster went." Tasuku said.
"Tasuku Ryuenji and Jack?" Hope said. "If youre here, then that means…"
"Yep. I'm here on official business, but it looks like we;ve attracted a crowd." Tasuku said.
Kids from inside the school flooded out to see Tasuku and jack.
"Uh, Jack, right? Maybe you wouldnt attract a lot of attention if youd change your form?" Hope asked.
"That would be the case...but I refuse." Jack said.
"It's tasuku ryuenji of the Buddy Police!" said a girl sliding down. She had megental hair with one spike, shaped like a lightning bolt. "This is Paruko Nanana here for the update with my buddy, UFO, Takosuke!" she said holding a card as an alien octopus in a UFO appeared.
"Takuchu!" he said.
"Lets..go!" Paruko said jumping in and riding in the ufo bit. "Youre on active duty? Or just came to see lil ol me?"
"Actually, I wanted to come to give Gao and Hope there these." Tasuku said holding a reed and dark blue cases.
"Holy mother of god.." Hope said. "Core deck cases."
"WIth these, you'll be able to lumenize your decks and participate in buddy fights." Tasuku said.
"Congrats, hope." Aqua said coming up with the teams. "Youre officially a fighter like some of us."
"You already got your decks?" Hope said.
"Duh. Only an idiot waits around for no damn reason." Indigo said.
"Hey, it just felt right!" Hope said. "Well, I guess I am a fighter now."
"So, wanna fight any of us? Take your pick,you two." Jexi said.
"Well Gao?" Hope asked.
"Well in all honesty….I wanna fight Tasuku!" Gao said.
"You what?!" Hope said.
"Say what?!" Paruko said. "Its too soon to be challenging Master Tasuku of the Buddy Police!"
"Actually...I accept your challenge." Tasuku said smiling.
Hope looked at his own core deck case.
"Hey, hold up." Hope said.
"Is he gonna say something stupid?" Blazer Frill asked.
"When he gets that look, we know what's coming."Cyrille said.
"He's gonna get hurt a lot!" Charmy said.
Hope sighed, but then smirded.
"Lets make this a little more interesting to these people. A 2-on-1! Make it me and gao…. Against YOU!" Hope said.
"Hmm. I...decline. 2 on 1. Its not a fair battle." Tasuku said.
"Its not a two on one." Natsu said standing by Tasuku. "Its two on two!"
"Natsu? Youre gonna do this?" Hope said.
"Hope, I've been through a lot the past year. And besides, I always wanted to kick your ass in a fight, even if its cards!" Natsu said.
"Well now, I think I wanted that after all. Whaddya say, Frill? Ready for your chance to debut?" Hope said.
"Ah, I suppose I must. You got us in deep now." Frill said.
"And you?" Hope said looking at the dragon.
"Yeah. I have to do this. Hey, Little Human." The dragon said.
"Yeah?" Gao said.
"From this moment on, you and I are buddies." the dragon said.
"Yes!" Gao said.
"I am the son of the Drum Bunker Dragon, Fangslade Terrestrial the XIII." the dragon said.
"Uh, that sounds a bit complicated." Natsu said.
"Hey I know! Lets call him Drum!" Toma said.
"Yep. Thinking the same thing!" Gao said as Drum groaned.
"Okay, one hour, you two against us two." Tasuku said.
"Bring it!" Gao said.
"Hehehe. I'm getting all fired up for this!" Natsu said.
"Same here. This is gonna be awesome." Hope said.
