"Cross lend me your strength…" Subaru said as he also look at the stars
"Skyseer Dragon, Cross Astrologia at your service…" His buddy appeared before him he ws a golden dragon with rainbow wings
" I would like to know a boy known as Katogawa Ranma… what will happen to me with his relationship? Will I be able to get a long with him? I want you to foretell the future…" Subaru said calmly
"You're showing a motivation on someone very well I shall predict your future…" Cross Astrologia said
At Yuga's room after the match it seems that he was keeping the deck together
"Dad I'm sorry on the phone I said I was gonna win but it's impossible…." Yuga said as he cried a little in his desk
"If only…. If only…" He said as he clench his deck tightly
"No… I can't be like this…" He said as he smiled and wipe out his tears
"This is for ranma too… I can't be like this…" He said convincing himself but it is shown that a small shadow is forming behind yuga but it quickly disappeared
The next day
"woah the Ran-ga channel is going downhill…" Yuga said
"well I can blame it all Garga do is training and meditating.." Ranma sighed
"Hmm let me think… yeah if only he can be like that reality shows on tv you talked about.." Yuga said
"Speaking of TV I just remember that our school.." Ranma just thought of it as it was Sunday
"It's time for our Sunday afternoon Quiz show Super Difficult Question Ace of Trivia, Today's challenger is our youngest" The host stated
"Aibo Academy, sixth year, first class Subaru Hoshiyomi…" Subaru introduced himself
"Subaru is a boy gnius who gets top grade in all of his classes and is known as the ace of study…" The host stated the fact about Subaru
"I don't know about genius but there are people call me the ace of study…" Subaru said calmly
"Ace of Study huh he really is smart…" Yuga smiled while seeing the tv
"Garga come check this someone from schools such us as is on a quiz show…" Ranma politely asked Garga to join in
"I have no interest…" The blue dragon said
"But a quiz show is where people fight over who is smarter it's like a combat but with your mind…" Ranma said as he tries to lure Garga to watch with him
"Did you say combat?!" Garga said as he is triggered by the word and joins them
"Alright Subaru are you ready?" The host asked
"Yes" Subaru said with a simple answer
"The first question is mathematical, It's a topological theorem about the characterization of the 3-sphere—" The host states the question
"There's no way anyone would know the answer…." Yuga said as they looked it seriously
"Yeah…" ranma gulped
"The answer is Poincare conjecture." Subaru answerd calmly
"He isn't the Ace of study for nothing…" Yuga said while he is in awe
"Answering such difficult question this guy really is aces…" Ranma said excitedly
"The second question is on the topic of science… The velocity of galaxies receding from the Earth is proportional to their distance" The host said and dictated the second question
"It's Hubble Law…" Subaru said it calmly
"The third topic is History, The famous quote Earth is blue—" The host stated the third question
"Ostroumov" Subaru answered calmly yet again
"The fourth question, in modern art…" The host stated the fourth question
"Black Hole M-Spheres…" Subaru answered and it was correct
"The fifth question about music England…." The host stated the fifth question
"Gustav Holst…" Subaru answered the last question correctly
Paruko seemed to be making juice and put it in the table for both Yuga and Ranma
"Amazing, He answered all correctly…" The host claps his hands
"Subaru wins the perfect answer prize and it's the state of the art telescope…" The host reveals the prize
"Thank you.." Subaru smiled
"This young man is quite something…" The host praised him
"After this commercial break, our next challenger…" The show go on a commercial brake
"Ranma it's your uncle he called…" Paruko interrupts them
"Yeah uncle yes yes… I 'll be right there…" Ranma said as he close the phone
"Garga let's go home…. Uncle is back from his shopping…" He said to the gargantua dragon
"Very well…" Garga said
As both of them leaves Yuga goes upsair in his room looking at the drawer and opening some book
"Sure is nice to be him.. He is the ace of study after all.. I'm just a natural gamer…" Yuga said as he read some book
"Yuga Your Dad is calling…" Paruko shouted
"Okay mom I'll be right down just a minute… just when I wanted to read.." Yuga sighed as he headed down leaving the book on the desk
Meanwhile after lunch Ranma is strategizing his deck in his room
"Subaru sure is incredible…" Ranma said while Garga is sighing
"Let me guess you don't like to lose to someone…" He continued on talking to Garga
"As a deity of Combat I loathe the word lose and yet I lost to that child, Subaru…." The blue dragon seemed angry
'I know…. In that quiz right…." Ranma said
"Yeah is there something else?!" Garga shouted
"Garga…. Well I don't know much about that quiz so maybe I'm also at a lost…" Ranma smiled trying to cheer the blue dragon up
"You do? Sorry if I behave like that" Garga asked as he suddenly not angry anymore and apologized
"Well I'm not good at either as a combat or mind but I do know this… everyone has their capabilities…" Ranma smiled sincerely
"to cheer you up… I'll make my special food…" He said
"What food?" Garga asked
After a while there is a sound of misfortune of Garga shouting
"That was horrible!" Garga shouted
"Sorry I'm not much of a great cook… well I am but I just get weirded out at some point where I made weird food…" Ranma sighed
"Next time cook better…" Garga said seriously but then they laugh together and the food scene must be blurred for safety reasons
The Next Day
Ranma told to Yuga on the way to school that Subaru is a buddyfighter but he kept it a secret and well they wanted for yuga to fight Subaru for negotiations
At school
"Woah… the class is crowded…" Ranma said as he saw everyone was trying to get near Subaru
"What is going on here? Yuga asked
"Well we tried to get to talk about subaru's show yesterday to him but there is an invisible wall" One of his(Subaru) classmate said
"Well let me try it wasn't real is it?" Ranma asked as he wanted to go to Subaru but then he stared at him and he suddenly was pushed out like there is an invincible wall
"It's true…" He said
"Well you're katogawa ranma fro second class right? I remember now…" Subaru said as he remembers ranma because of his silly drawing at the second grade that made Ranma furious
"Oh right…" Yuga said
"Why you-! Blabbering about my past like that!" Ranma said even though he was furious he is also embarrassed by it
"All I did was state on fact…" Subaru sighed
Thy heard the bell rings
"Let's go back to our classroom" Yuga said
"What about the buddyfight?" Ranma asked
"Leave that to me…." Yuga smiled
At the library that day
"So he always hangout in the library huh it's quite hmm I don't know…." Yuga said as he wanders the library and he saw Subaru picking out some books and finally picking it up and stares at Yuga who wanted to come near him
"Woah really an invincible wall…" Yuga said as he squeezed through or slide through the invincible wall
"I'm Mikado Yuga…" He introduced himself to Subaru
"I know you're the ace of games everyone talked about…" Subaru said calmly
Later after they walkthrough the hall
"I'd like you to buddyfight me…" Yuga said
"Well you're a buddyfighter right?" He asked
"Hmm but… I'm not interested in buddyfighting you in the moment.." Subaru sighed
"Is that so?" Yuga asked
"But… I want to have buddyfight in which buddyfighters help each other improve I'm sorry to ay this but you didn't have a buddy but if you have other stuff I'll be willing to help…" Subaru said
"Then… I do have one request in mind I know that there is no one that amuses you in this academy but facing him maybe …" Yuga said looking for an alternative way
"What do you mean?" Subaru asked
"Fighting Ranma and his buddy you've been curious about it right?" Yuga asked
"How did you know?" Subaru asked
"I think your buddy maybe agreed to it…" Yuga said
" Skyseer Dragon, Cross Astrologia…" He smiled
"How did you know who I am by any chance?" The star dragon world dragon and also Subaru's buddy appeared
"just hunch…" Yuga smiled
"But as my prediction fortune telling would say Subaru is going to win…" Cross Astrologia said
"In buddyfight there is a thing called something unexpected will happen and your astrological science experiment one of star dragon world secrets…" Yuga said with a serious smile
"Hmm I like to see that happen but how did you know about star dragon world secrets…" Cross Astrologia said
"Oh that it's hmm let see ring a bell of a monster called athora … nope I've said too much Then go fight him you'll know for sure… then I'll be waiting…" Yuga smiled as he leaves
"Subaru I'm not supposed to be the one telling you this but be cautious of him…" Cross Astrologia said
"Yeah got it if he knows about star dragon world…." Subaru said
Before the lunch break bell ring Yuga meet up with Ranma
"So how did it go?" Ranma asked
"I failed… he didn't want to fight me but I think… he is gonna want to fight you instead…" Yuga smiled
"But.. But it's supposed to be your fight…" Ranma said seriously
"No.. No… It's yours and also I think Garga also want a revenge on the school quiz yesterday.." Yuga said calmly
"Yes that's right…. I'll also fight…" He said as he comes out from ranma's deck
"Well ranma I better pack up your video cam for the fight it's all I can do… bye bye…" Yuga smiled as he goes back to class
"Yuga…." Ranma said
After School at Aibo Academy Fighting stage
"Okay everyone it's buddyfighting time…" Ion commentated on the fight
"Ranma good luck…" Yuga said as he filmed the whole fight
"Celestial Spheres, Guide Dragons… Luminize Triangular Galaxy!"
"Deity Dragons who combat in land, Luminize! Dra Deity!"
As they both use their core gadget to luminize Subaru's was more like of the sphere that he talked about on the quiz show but with smaller size besides him
"Open the flag"
"Star Dragon World"
"Dragon World"
(Ranma: life: 10 gauge: 2 hand: 6)
(Subaru: Life: 10 gauge: 2 hand : 6)
"Yuga recommend me to fight you so I hope this is worthed… Katogawa Ranma" Subaru said calmly as beside him Cross Astrologia or cross for short
"Okay.." Ranma said
"My turn draw and then charge and draw…" Subaru said as he begins his turn
"I call govern star bodure (att: 4000 def: 3000 size: 1 crit: 1) with its effect I get an item from my deck…" He continued as he gets an item from his deck
"Then Guard seer dragon, Gyron (att: 3000 def: 1000 size: 1 crit: 2) to the left" He uses Gyron to attack ranma directly as he ends his turn
(Ranma: life: 8 gauge: 2 hand: 6)
(Subaru: Life: 10 gauge: 1 hand : 5)
"Draw then charge and draw!" Ranma said as he makes no reaction to a card he draw but put up a little smile and equips Deity Dragon Sword, Garblade(att: 6000 crit 2)
"Then Garcat call (size: 1 att: 4000 def: 1000) then right buddy call Gargantua Dragon (att: 7000 def: 4000 crit: 2 size: 2)" He smiled as he buddy called Garga
"That gyron has something dangerous…" He thought
"All enemies are powerless before my blade…" Garga said as he decreed his coming
" I don't have dragonic counter last turn huff this is a bad situation…" Ranma thought
"Garcat attack the center.." Garcat wanted to attack the center but he must attack the left monster by force
"Tch then" Ranma attacks Gyron and went to attack the center but then he was halted by mars barrier
"He should have destroyed that gyron first his effect is a bit annoying…" Yuga saw the fight
"In his hands…. Even if ranma uses G-EVO…" He thought
"Go Garga attack the center and use your 2nd attack to attack the fighter…" Ranma shouted
"Hmm something is coming" He looked at Subaru's expression
"Ranma!" Garga shouted
"Yeah! act-!" Ranma shouted and Yuga saw it with his own head
"Ranma don't… " Yuga wanted to stop ranma but there is nothing he can do as Ranma already uses and turns Garga into Blast Mode
"My Garga has critical of 4 with double attack you're finished…" Ranma shouted
"You've made a beginner's mistake or you're desperate… remember this in buddyfight there is a way to prevent your monster like this Cast Crystallization phenomenon" Subaru said as he cast his spell and garga can't move
"What is this?!" Garga shouted
"Crystallization Phenomenon… as I fear… " Yuga sighed
"What is that card brother?" Haru asked as he was beside him
"That card… by paying 1 life he can rest any monster in the field and the monster on his center must be destroyed gyron part was to secure as minimum damage as possible and probably he still has a defense spell if it's go wrong…" Yuga said thoroughly
"Wow brother you know a lot as if you've been buddyfighting a lot.." Haru said
"Is that so? Well…. Just a hunch… in theory it's a lot more sense than fighting on the field so yeah and… I'm not that good." Yuga smiled as he pat haru on the head
"Brother stop it…" Haru said
"Sorry…" Yuga smiled
"Tch I end my turn…" Ranma thought as this can't get any worse
(Ranma: life: 9 gauge: 2 hand: 5)
(Subaru: Life: 7 gauge: 1 hand: 4)
"This turn is gonna be the last watch closely… this is what cross astrologia predicted…" Yuga said seriously
"Equip Seerbow, Babylon (att: 6000 crit: 2) then govern star dragon, Fret( size 1 att: 3000 def: 1000 crit: 1) to the left and his effect one draw then buddy cal … Skyseer Dragon, Cross Astrologia to center (att: 6000 def: 5000 crit: 2)" Subaru stated and Cross goes to the center in his real form
"I will bring victory just like what's written in the stars to Subaru…" Cross said
"As I thought… Galaxy Formation" Yuga sighed as he saw Cross Astrologia, Fret and Subaru's item shine
"Galaxy Triangle?" Haru asked
"You'll know soon.." Yuga smiled
"Having gain the three light of stars, a great triangle appers in the sky above… activate Galaxy Formation!" Subaru shouted
"Brother what happen?" Haru asked
"This is ad for ranma… that formation is what cross astrologia's signature pattern remember our dad's friend talk about this the last year he visit?" Yuga asked
"Yeah so?" Haru asked
"Cross astrologia galaxy formation if you have him in the center and monster in the left and you have an item equip all cards on the field gains critical + 1 and penetrate…" Yuga explained Subaru's formation
"That would be bad for ranma nii-chan…" Haru stated
"I just hoped ranma has enough shield to pull it through this turn.. it's gonna be rough…" Yuga said
"Cast Enhancement tactic all my monster and item gain 3000 power" Subaru stated
"Come huh…" Ranma look at his hands
First Subaru attack with Fret and it took a direct hit
"Next…" He stated as he attacks Ranma directly with his item that can be attacked even on the center explained by Ion
"Cast Deity Green Dragon Shield!" Ranma shouted as he protects himself
"That is it Ranma!" garga shouted
"Pointless second attack!" Subaru said as it hit a direct attack
"Cross go attacks Ranma…" He ordered his buddy
"Cast Blue Dragon Shield!" Ranma shouted as he desperately protects himself but Cross attacks with his second attack
"Ranma" Garga shouted
"Now Final Phase…" Subaru said
"Cast Impact.. this impact can only be used when galaxy formation is complete…" He stated as a triangular appeared as static on Cross Astrologia
"Tri Star Decision…" He uses Babylon and launch a static arrow magnified by the triangular energy directly to Ranma causing his life depleted to 0
(Ranma: life: 0 gauge: 2 hand: 3)
(Subaru: Life: 8 gauge: 0 hand: 2)
"Game end winner Hoshiyomi Subaru…" Ion stated
"Everything is Mental…" Subaru says his catchphrase
"Shine forth star of glory…" Cross Astrologia stated
Later after the fight that afternoon
"Thank you for fighting with me…" Ranma smiled
"Just say it.." Yuga smiled
"As a buddyfighter your skill isn't that high yet…" Subaru stated
"It's just a bad hand and you're really good…" Ranma stated
"I hope you'll fight me again…" He continued
"I'll think about it…" Subaru said as he leaves
"As usual you can't say no to a sincere word huh Subaru…" Cross said
As Yuga and Ranma was about to walk home Garga suddenly ran off with his card form
"Garga wait!" Ranma shouted
At night Ranma found Garga on the field sulking alone
"Found you…" Ranma smiled
"What do you want?" Garga asked not wanting to see him
"Don't be like that…" Ranma said
"I'm just angry and frustrated…" Garga said
"Then we'll win the next time…" Ranma smiled
"But I the combat deity never lost!" Garga shouted
"wait… you were angry about your lost at Subaru's quiz yesterday.." Ranma taunt him that makes Garga a little triggered
"Just kidding just kidding we'll try harder next time okay… Now that we learn about his tactics…" Ranma smiled
" His tactics that is right.." Garga said
"But defeat is something we can learn from and buddyfight is a lot more fun that way…" Ranma smiled
"Fun…" Garga said and thought that this boy touch his very soul as they look at the beautiful night sky
"According to astrology science Katogawa Ranma will make something inside of you change…" Cross on the other area said that to Subaru who is star gazing
"Tonight the star seems more beautiful right…." Subaru said as they gaaze the sky
At Yuga's house yuga is sorting his book as it looks like full of photo and saw that the one with Subaru changed and he turns to another page and it's the Aces of Sports and he smiles as he closes the book
"The next alteration…" Yuga said as he close the book and put it back in place with the others
Ran-Ga Channel
