AC: Hello everyone. Since my vacation is almost over, the episode will once again return to an episode per two weeks format. I'm glad that I was on vacation when I do these two parts. I didn't have to make you wait for a small cliffhanger for long.


Episode 9: Triple Battle Part 2

Tasuku shield himself from the arrows that came at him. He was glad that his new sword had a shield included on it as he could protect himself quickly. He avoided the others and looked at Sofia who had no hesitation, we have to defeat Heim if we want to free her, the boy frowned as he protected himself from more, I cannot help Jack as long as she is attacking me. I need to find a way to create an opportunity, he searched for a plan as he defended his life from a possessed human.

Meanwhile, the green dragon avoided the blade of the demon and blocked it with his own located on his helmet.

"It is a mistake to use a weapon on your helmet, you are making your neck vulnerable for an instant kill," the demon let out a cruel grin.

"That is not my only weapon now," before blocking a kick with his gauntlet he was now wearing. He spun his body and whipped the chest with his tail and sent him away.

Jackknife didn't let his enemy recover for a second and went to the offensive again. He closed the distance between the two and slashed with his blade, but was blocked. He avoided the counter attacks as he took some distance at each strike. The dragon was confident in his ability but knew not to underestimate his enemy who had a lot of experience and greater power thanks to Yamigedo. He didn't know how. Just that it was a fact. He ducked and the sword passed just over him. He charged and tackled the demon and sent him away. He gave a quick glance to his buddy before refocusing on his own battle.

Tasuku had made up his mind and went to the offensive. He had to disarm Sofia without hurting her. He slashed but the girl made sure to stay far away from the blue-haired boy and fired more arrows. He blocked them with ease thanks to his shield and kept his offensive. He tried to aim for the weapon only but the girl always avoided it. He approached her and grabbed her by his wrist, thanking Suzumi who taught him a few of techniques of the Mikado style. He pulled her on his waist to throw her on the ground. He tried to take the weapon away. That opportunity failed when he was kicked on the stomach and took a few steps away. He grunted and shield himself from another arrow.

He approached her once again and aimed for the weapon but couldn't reach it. The situation remained the same between them as none of them managed to wound each other's. Suddenly an arrow came at him. He tried to avoid it but it hit the flank. Thankfully the armor made it bounce on it and the arrow disappeared. Tasuku paled for a second before refocusing on the offensive. He had to stop her no matter what.

Meanwhile, the green dragon didn't have it so easy in his fight against the demon. Their sword collided but none could pass the others guard. The sound of the metal resonated loudly in the barrier.

Heim smirked when he suddenly fainted a strike and passed under the dragon's defense and stabbed the dragon's gut. The armor was in the way and broke the momentum as the sword didn't went further than the wall of muscles of the dragon's gut. The sword was blocked when the muscles contracted and made him vulnerable with a violent strike on the skull, sending him on the ground.

Tasuku was too busy with his life to notice and worry for his buddy.

Jackknife was about to say that he was alright when he realised that his adoptive son said nothing. He continued his assault as he tried to finish the battle.

The demon took his chance and pulled the blade out of the gut and slashed the face of the green dragon, leaving a mark on the snout that let a sip of blood coming out. The wound was only superficial on the dragon who ignored it and kept his momentum.

Heim rolled on the ground and avoided the impact at the last second before quickly jumping back on his feet and panting a little nervously, I've underestimated this dragon. He might not have a body suited for direct confrontation like me or that red dragon but he is completely compensating with his own style. Which world is he even coming from? He lost his certainty that the green dragon came from Dragon World with the armor and the light that appeared otherworldly.

They continued to fight and to pass each other's defense but more careful of any counter attack that will be costly for them. Their blades collided many times as the struggled to take the advantage. Jackknife eventually managed to lock his enemy into a stationary position and used all his strength to push him on the ground.

The struggled continued for a while and the demon was slowly submitting to the superior strength of the dragon, until he let out a small smirk. He suddenly stopped resisting and went to the left. The blade passed near him as he slashed with his sword. He caused a wound on his throat. The sword passed between the protecting plates put there and blood came out.

The green dragon painfully grunted as he took distance and covered his wound with his hand. They were quickly covered by his own blood that didn't stop coming out of his wound, no matter what he tried to prevent it. He panted and the pain subsided when his buddy used his healing spell.

"Jack!" Tasuku yelled before suddenly grunting. An arrow pierced his left arm and the boy was also bleeding.

Heim grinned at them before he started laughing, "Would you look at that? Both worried for each other's. Jackknife, your friend wouldn't have been hurt if you were strong enough to face me you know," he decided to end Tasuku's life first as he grabbed the boy by his hair and pulled him towards him.

"Tasuku," The green dragon saw red and yelled, "Release him right now!" before quickly charged and piercing the gut of the demon with his claws. The moment the boy was released, he threw the demon against the wall and panted.

The boy stood up and used a healing spell card on his buddy, while ignoring the pain in his arm. He grunted and healing himself, calming the pain down.

The demon was back on his feet, despite his wound he was still ready to fight. The possessed human healed him with a spell card, "Let's keep this battle going. Because I will end your life soon."


Gao was the first who took the offensive and when towards Kuguru, trying to take her weapon away from her. He swift with his hands but she avoided his grasp and countered with a kick. The boy had no trouble blocking it and forcing her to lose her balance. She felt on the ground and when he tried to grab her weapon, she rolled on the ground and went away from him and fire another arrow. The arrow was blocked by the gauntlet and the boy grunted.

Kuguru isn't a fighter but the demon controlling her is. I have to stop her from causing harm to anyone. She would never want to do it, the Mighty Sun Fighter charged again and tried to disarm the girl once more. He wouldn't give up that easily and was ready to try again and again.

Their battle continued and none managed to hurt the others. Gao was holding back against his friend while the possess girl had trouble aiming at someone who don't stop moving.

Meanwhile, Tenbu and Cat Sith observed the battle between Drum and Talos. Cat Sith knew he would be completely useless in a battle where his sword wouldn't pierce the body at all. He was weaker than Iron Chain in terms of power and brute strength. Despite that, he observed the battle, searching for a way to help his friends and save Kuguru.

The red dragon avoided any the fist of the giant bronze monster. His gauntlet spun and their next attacked hit one each other's. The drill tried to pierce the hand of the monster, but the bronze hand was too resilient for it to cause damage. It only made some sparks of flame around them. Drum grunted and dodged the fist at the moment his body gave under the pressure. The dragon ran quickly as he avoided energy blast coming at him. He couldn't count on his buddy to change form, so he had to use the best of his current one.

He dragon suddenly slid on the ground and turned around. He recreated his momentum as he went on the offensive, dodging any blast coming at him. When he was in close range, he saw the bronze punch coming at him and ignored it. He slid under the big monster and turned around. He jumped in the air and gave a drill punch on the back. He held on the body and tried to drill through the armored skin while the monster couldn't grab him.

The loud sound of the drill reached the humanoid at ears who covered them with her paws.

The demon lacked flexibility and couldn't escape from the attack on his own. Talos eyes went left and right in search of a solution and grinned. He began dashing backward towards a wall to crush the bones of the accursed dragon.

Drum saw it coming and jumped above the monster at the last second and kept struggling against the demon. He wouldn't give in or Tenbu was dead.

Cat Sith had enough and knew what to do, "Drum! Hit him on the head! It might be too loud when you drill near his head!" He never looked to check if the dragon heard him and went in the battle. He knew what he had to do for his buddy and his friends.

The green dragon nodded with a small smile at the determination of Cat Sith and remained vigilant for any ambush.

The humanoid cat closed the distance between the two humans who kept struggling to defeat the other one. When Cat Sith was near and with his rapier, broke the weapon that Kuguru was using. The bow was in two pieces and shined for a few seconds before turning into dust.

Once the dust settle, the possessed human tried to take another card from one of her deckcase but nothing was in her hands. She checked and none of her deckcase was held.

Cat Sith showed in his hand one deckcase while the other was held by his tail, "Now Gao!"

The boy didn't hesitate for a second and quickly used his fighting techniques to control her and made sure she wouldn't be a threat anymore. The girl was on the ground and struggled to free herself.

"I'm sorry Kuguru, but I'll keep you there until you are free of that demon's control," Gao said as he fought against her.

He checked on his buddy and saw the red dragon thrown on the ground and coughed loudly. He quickly took one spellcard and yelled, "Blue Dragon Shield!"

A shield appeared and saved the dragon from a finishing strike. The dragon nodded and stood up, running to the side as the monster kept his assault.

Drum took his chance. His enemy was off-balance by the sudden appearance of the shield. He yelled loudly and charged. He avoided a punch coming at him and jumped in the air. He landed on the bronze arm of the demon and jumped again landing on the shoulder of his adversary.

He activated his drill and gave everything he got in one punch on the skull of Talos. A loud metallic sound resonated as the drill made a violent impact on the skull. The drill spun and tried to pierce the metallic body but it wasn't effective. However, the demon yelled as the sound resonated in his brain.

The sound was too intense for Talos to endure. It was as if his own brain was about to explode. He didn't think and simply shook his head and try to get rid of the dragon. He wasn't working and soon. It was now a battle of endurance between the two. Drum made sure to never stop drilling and tried not to fall from the demon.

"Come on. Fall!" the red dragon ordered.

"You forgot about me?" a voice said. Death Shido was there and had a spellcard ready. It caused an explosion and sent the red dragon away.

Drum landed on the ground and bounced twice before returning on his feet.

"You're here… Death Shido," the dragon grumbled.

Tenbu frowned, even he forgot about him.

"That's right. I'm here and ready to fight you Gao Mikado," Death Shido declared as he revealed his deck case.

"Damn," Gao grunted. He was hoping that victory would come but it wasn't the case.

Talos recovered from the attack and let out a loud war cry. He was ready to get his revenge.


Tetsuya was ready to cast any spells coming at him. He gazed at the possessed Baku and the boy wasn't moving that much. He only had his own spellcard ready. This is seriously bad yo. I'm sure Gao and Tasuku are fine. After pushing his worries aside, he wondered if there really was another Omni Lords or the demons were wrong.

The only Omni Lord they were certain off was Tenbu and no one else. Ziun was possibly one but the monster himself had lost his memory and couldn't confirm that possibility. What the demon said was doubtful.

Iron was about to crush the bones of Asmodai with his mace and the boy quickly reacted, "Magical Bye-Bye!"

"W-" the monster smashed the wall of the barrier and frowned, "You think you can play with me human?" the Cyclops charged and aimed for the boy.

The pink demon jumped in the air and chuckled, "Forgot about me?" before he kicked right in the eyeball and sent him away.

The big monster put his hands on his face and painfully screamed as he took a few steps back. The evil demon grunted as he furiously glared at the one, they called the Omni Lord.

Asmodai was dancing on his feet as he gave a few punches in the air and chuckled, "Come at me one eye guy!"

"Do not mock me! I am a servant of Yamigedo!" he swung his mace and tried to crush his enemy, but the quick pink demon avoided it and aimed for the big eye again. The eye had red veins marked on it but the attack failed when the other hand of Iron blocked the punch. He sent his enemy away.

Asmodai landed on his feet and chuckled, "Looks like we have our chance."

Tetsuya nodded and looked at Baku. The boy was possessed and wondered why he didn't come and directly fight him. He quickly realised that the cyclops caused a lot of destruction with each attack hitting the ground, why would he care about it yo? He wondered, but pushed it aside as he used a spell to protect his buddy.

Asmodai was ready to punch the face of his enemy again but was blocked by Baku how Magical Bye-Bye. He landed first on the ground and coughed, "Oh yeah. Axia is a dragon from Magic World. He doesn't have any Dungeon World spellcards."

"Those spells don't align with the world he's coming from yo," the boy thought, would it change anything? I guess not.

The battle continued as the two monsters fought to gain the advantage. Iron Cyclops was resilient and no matter how many hits he got, he always quickly recovered to keep fighting. Baku only intervened when the attack could be fatal for the demon.

Tetsuya did his best to cover for his buddy. Seeing how dangerous the attack of their enemy was, he didn't try to reach Baku or die trying.

The pink demon from Magic World suddenly chuckled, "Let's do a few magic tricks would ya?" he said to his adversary before he suddenly went behind and created an illusion bigger than him, "And a suplex!" and the demon did as say and crashed the Cyclops head first in the ground. He jumped away and went to take the deck case from Baku's hands, but the boy sent him away with Magica Bye-Bye.

"I love this spell as much as I hate it," Asmodai commented.

Tetsuya could think the same. He was saving his powerful spells when it would be really needed or to protect himself. He was right when Iron aimed for him again, "Begone!" and pushed the demon away from him.

His big eye focused on the boy, but avoided the other monster punch. Iron focused on Asmodai and tried to crush him with his mace. The giant monster was slow but his strikes were deadly if his adversary wasn't careful. The pink demon was the opposite as he was faster and had many tricks on his sleeves to keep the advantage in the battle.

The pink monster jumped on the mace after it smashed down and run on it, charging towards the cyclops. He avoided the hand coming at him and landed on the head. He jumped once again and stood on the next. He used his trick to give a magic punch that made the evil demon yelled painfully. Suddenly the demon from Magic World was in front of him, "What!" before realising that the possessed Baku used a spell.

Iron managed to grab Asmodai and threw him on the ground.

The monster painfully grumbled as he bounced twice on the ground before putting his hands on his forehead, a little confused by what happened.

The cyclops charged at the boy and was ready to crush Tetsuya with his mace, but was sent away.

As Tetsuya used his spell, he failed to notice that something was near his buddy. Once he realised it, it was too late.

The pink demon grunted and when he opened his eyes, he saw a black spectral mass near him with a human boy with pale skin.

Ikazuchi eyes were weak, but locked on the face of the Omni Lord, "No escape," he weakly said.

"You are mine Asmodai!" the Great Fiend grew in side as he approached one who wronged him long ago. He opened his mouth and trapped his enemy in his mouth.

"Asmodai!" the boy yelled when only the pink tail of his buddy remained outside. It wasn't long before the tail was gone in the mouth of the spectral being.

The manifestation of Yamigedo made a few sounds as it grew in side. He made a few disgusting sounds as flesh seemed to rapidly made itself and bones rubbed together or even cracking as the body. Tetsuya even saw a bone coming out of the flesh before returning inside. Soon, the body horror transformation was over and the Fiend was back to its intimidating form.

Iron kneeled down and said, "Welcome back oh Great Fiend!"

The body of the ruler of the hundred demons turned to flesh. It grew in side as it separated from the boy he inhabited. His lips came to flesh and gave him a more humanoid appearance. His hands endings with sharps fangs on each of his fingers. His belly, chest, legs and arms were covered with gray fur while he had gray made around his neck. His foot ended with three sharp toes. The Great Fiend looked at his body with his three pairs of orange eyes. A small smirked appeared on his face, revealed his teeth, which were mostly molars inside his mouth except for four canines. His face was black, while his back was covered by an exoskeleton with centipede legs on it and on his three centipede tails.

He let out a loud war cry that resonated within the barrier as he let his crimson tongue out of his mouth for a second.

At the sight of the giant monster, Tetsuya skin paled as he took a step back and felt on the ground, "W-what? H-" no more words came out, No… Asmodai, "Asmodai!" he cried out.

Yamigedo chuckled loudly as he looked down at the boy, "You're 'precious' Asmodai is gone. That is the fate that awaits the Omni Lords," before focusing on the boy who helped him. With no treat coming at him, he carefully grabbed the boy by his side and let him rest on his palm, "Ikazuchi."

Ikazuchi smiled weakly. His body didn't recover, "We… did it."

A soft smiled was on the face of the fearful fiend, "Yes. Now rest my friend. It's my turn to watch over you."

And the boy closed his eyes and rested in the palm of his hand.

His gazed turned to the boy. His raised his hand and pointed his claw at him. With a calm voice, he said, "Asmodai was an Omni Lord, human. I guess he lied and manipulate you," before grunting with ferocity, "Just like they always do!"

Iron Cyclops translated his words to the boy.

"He-" the boy felt betrayed by his friend. He asked his buddy the question but didn't get an answer, what is the true? Did he even believe that we were buddies? Asmodai… His thought was cut short when the face of the giant monster was near his face.

"I should kill you for standing in my way, but that pain you are feeling is one I have too… I'll let you live… this time," the Great Fiend stood up and raised his free hand. He opened it. It shined for a few seconds before he suddenly closed it.

After a few seconds, the ground was shaking as if an earthquake began. In a matter of minute, the blond-haired boy closed his eyes and didn't dare to look. Once everything calmed down, he opened them and gasped.

Everyone who were trapped in the barriers were at the same place with the demons. Tasuku and Jackknife were wounded just like Heim. Their fight was indeed interrupted when the presence of the Great Fiend stopped the battle.

As for Gao, he was besides Kuguru and checked on her while the demon was gone, sealed by the boy. The girl had just woken up and when she saw Yamigedo, she paled just like Tetsuya did. Tenbu was simply silently gazing at the fiend.

The red dragon gulped, "He's Azi Dahaka size."

Cat Sith yelped at how underpowered he clearly was.

Heim took some distance and said, "Welcome back master, to the world of flesh."

The giant nodded as he gazed at his enemies. His orange eyes shined brighter when he made eye contact with Tenbu, who suddenly took his real form. He noticed the small smirk on the old dragon and knew what would happen. He suddenly called back his two remaining demons with the snap of a finger and they returned into cards, entering in his flesh.

Baku felt on the ground and was unconscious as no one was controlling him anymore.

Death Shido was quiet as he looked at the Great Fiend, That's his body! What was Azi Dahaka even thinking with this?

"I see you are back Yamigedo," the old serpentine dragon nodded negatively and made a few disappointed sounds with his mouth, "You bring me some shame. Not only did you recruit your demons with farting contest, you are an exhibitionist too."

Everyone was at a lost of words.

Despite the Great Fiend being naked, he had more than enough fluff to compensate for the lack of clothes. His face turned red despite that. He was infuriated and shamefully yelled, "You accursed dragon! You are an exhibitionist too! Look at you!"

"I am not. I am wearing something," he pointed at his yin-yang badges on his body and his helmet.

"ARGH!" he grunted furiously, "I am back, ready to spread fear un the world and the first thing you do is that! You should fear me Tenbu! Your life is about to end! You and everyone who protected you!"

"Still as childish as I remember. Time to grow up Yamigedo," Tenbu replied with a small smirk as he crossed his arms. His body and tail were surrounding the humans and their buddies. It included those who were possessed.

Everyone else were lost at the conversation. As they couldn't understand what the Great Fiend was yelling.

"I am not a child anymore! Stop talking down on me like that!" he stomped the ground a few times.

"Then stop acting like a child."

"You are not my father anymore Tenbu! I don't have to listen to anything you say! I am a full-grown adult for a very long time!"

"I'll be and remain Yamigedo. If I need to discipline you, I won't hesitate. Be thankful I wasn't like Fang Slade Terrestrial The XIII."

The son of that dragon wondered why the Omni Lord even brought that up.

"Who is that father anyway?" He gasped as he released, he side tracked "Guh!" he shook his head, "Don't want to know! Shut up! I don't care about it!"

Once again, the great tension that the Great Fiend brought subsided by the remembrance and parenting by the way the Omni Lord was talking. For Gao and Drum, they got a repeat of what happened a few weeks back when they encountered the spectral form of the Great Fiend.

Their arguments continued as Drum realised, "Wait? Yamigedo has a body once again… Then which Omni Lord he got?"

That made everyone curious. Tetsuya replied, "Asmodai."

"He is an Omni Lord?" Tasuku asked in disbelief.

"Damn," Jackknife grunted.

The red dragon looked at Tenbu and grunted, he must have known the true from the start. Why didn't you say anything grand-pa Tenbu? He had so many questions now and he won't wait for an answer anymore. Because he waited, Yamigedo was back. It was his fault for not pushing the Omni Lord further.

"ENOUGH!" Yamigedo yelled at his face was crimson, both of shame and anger, "I heard enough of you! You know what is coming next Tenbu! You are still trapped. Those monsters with the humans cannot protect you right now! Even this red dragon who defeated one of my demons is wounded and bleeding. The humans used a lot of energy to use their spells," a grin appeared on his face when the shame that the old dragon brought was gone, "I will kill you right now and anyone else who dies will just be an unfortunate accident. Because you fought back!"

The old dragon chuckled with confidence and replied, "And what about Ikazuchi?"

The fiend looked at the boy on his palm. His precious friend.

"What if, in the heat of our battle, you crush his bones when you try to punch me? You handicap yourself with the boy with you. You might kill him in an… As you say it 'unfortunate accident'."

Yamigedo frowned and grunted loudly. He wanted to kill the old dragon immediately. However, the boy life was at risk. Any mistake and he might kill him by accident. His face twitched, You went through enough today Ikazuchi. His gazed then locked on his enemies, "Consider yourself lucky Tenbu. We will leave for now but when we will come back. Your life will be mine! I will finally get rid of you! I'll be free from you! Right now, you cannot even reseal me anyway!" He looked at Death Shido, "Get us out of here!"

The boy didn't understand what he ordered obviously.

Tenbu gave a little hand, "He said to get him out of here Death Shido."

Death Shido took out his spellcard and activated it. The three left the place. Once they were gone, the barrier started to dissipated. Tenbu returned to his real form.

"What did you talk about?" Drum quickly asked, "What happened?"

"I am curious about it too," a voice suddenly said.

Just before the barrier disappeared, the pink demon was behind his buddy and put his hands on his shoulder, "Don't worry. I am not a ghost buddy."

"Asmodai," Tetsuya wasn't as happy as he should be, his mind still clouded with the lies the demon told him. Still he smiled, relied that his buddy was alive.

Once the barrier was completely gone, they saw the rest of the Buddy Police Force present.

Takihara came and asked, "Are- What happened?" he stopped asking if they were alright and wanted to know what happened, "Wait. I'll call an ambulance and make sure you are-"

"No needs," Tasuku replied as he used a healing spell on himself and his buddy. Gao did the same, "Takihara. There is a lot we have to report today to Commander I right now. Big trouble are coming."

"W-what do you mean?" the man replied.

"So, the worse case scenario came?" Zanya asked.

Meanwhile, Sofia left the scene without anyone noticing her after the Buddy Police Force finished interrogating her from what happened.


The group was in the headquarter and they finished giving the reports on the attacks. Tetsuya added that his buddy was an Omni Lord and managed to escape somehow. Tenbu explained a little of how Yamigedo came back, but said little about his verbal confrontation with the Great Fiend.

Baku and Kuguru were surprised that it happened and looked down. They had trouble believing they had been used that way to hurt their friends.

Drum was diving a few glances at Tenbu but remained silent. He decided to wait for the perfect time, what did Yamigedo told you? Why are you avoiding telling us what he said too?

"And how did you survive him?" Commander I asked the question no one did before. He crossed his fingers, "You have been eaten."

"I used a trick to escape him. It is something risky without a spellcard. I just left a part of me behind. I just used one of my doubles and he devour that when I escaped. Alas, that means that I lost a part of my power. Right now, I am pretty much half of what I was," the pink demon explained. He didn't seem that angry about the fact that he lost some of his power.

The boy looked at his buddy and asked, "Asmodai… Are you weaker than before or… you were holding back your Omni Lords power?"

"Where is the yo?" the boy gave a glare at Asmodai's question. He sighed, "Yes. I was holding back. I didn't use my power as an Omni Lord."

"Why did you lie to me?" the boy asked.

The demon thought about it, I could brush it aside like a joke but… this won't do, "Because I don't want to be one. I became the Omni Lord of Magic World because the previous one put it on my shoulders. I am not made for this and on Earth, I didn't have to worry about it. I rather push it back but my past came back," he looked at everyone and said, "No more question about it."

"Okay," the demon's buddy said as he stood up. He was still upset and didn't fully forgive his buddy. He looked in the eyes of Asmodai and asked, "No more lies okay. No more!" he insisted.

The pink demon scratched the back of his head and replied, "Fine."

"That's good yo," he let out a small smile.

After this had been solved, they concluded the report.

Commander I grunted, "This is an emergency situation. Yamigedo will come to attack us and maybe destroy the world. Everyone, remain on high alert on all time. We will increase the patrol. Make sure we all are in contact. Because when he comes, we have to be ready. I'll prepare a plan with everyone else. Everyone is dismissed for now."

Everyone was about to leave when Drum yelled, "Wait! We are not done yet!"

Everyone stopped. Gao asked, "Drum… what do you mean? We are-"

The red dragon pointed his claws at the old dragon, "Grand-pa Tenbu! You said nothing except what we reported! What did Yamigedo told you? Did you know Asmodai was an Omni Lord from the start? Is Ziun an Omni Lord? What are you planning? Yamigedo wants to kill you! He almost killed Asmodai! We could have prevented all of this if you told us that! Answer us!"

His voice echoed in the room and everyone eyes went to the old dragon. The moment those questions were asked, they all knew it was legitimated.

Jackknife spoke, "As an Omni Lord, you must have the answers to everything."

"We know you understand Yamigedo," Gao said. It was painful to suspect something from a dragon they considered part of their family but it had to be now.

The old and not always wise dragon eyes went to everyone in the room.

"Tell us," Drum asked, standing near the dragon.

"For why he didn't tell anyone I was the Omni Lord, I asked him to remain quiet about it," Asmodai said, "Same reason as before. He accepted and promised me. As for the others…"

"Fine. Yamigedo is set on killing me next, before any other Omni Lords," the green dragon started as he played with his mustaches.

"Why you? Why not another Omni Lord?" Tasuku asked at the same time as Zanya.

"Because I was the one, he trusted the most. When one of us convinced everyone to seal him, I have to give in," he began as his gaze became evasive. The red dragon wondered if it was really the true or not. Tenbu's gaze focused on them once again, increasing the doubts for the younger dragon, "That's what he told me. Yes. I knew that Asmodai was an Omni Lord but he asked me to remain quiet about it. Ziun is also an Omni Lord but at the same time not. As long as his memories remained lost, he isn't one. As for what I'm planning," his gaze was evasive again.

"Tell us grand-pa Tenbu! We spend so much time together. We are like family. You can't just lie to us and hide things like that," the dragon looked down. He felt the hand of his buddy on his shoulders and gave him some strength.

"What I plan…" he turned his back at everyone, "I refuse to tell anyone. Just that I do this for a best outcome. We all have to confront a trial announced by Yamigedo's returned."

"Did you want Yamigedo to come back? Is this why you said nothing?" Jackknife grunted.

The commander crossed his fingers and ordered, "Tenbu. About what Jackknife asked… Are you threatening the world for something that you don't even want to tell us about?"

The old dragon faced them. He simply replied, "I will never sacrifice a world or anyone innocent for my own or someone else sake. Not anymore. I will never make that mistake again. I won't cause another tragedy." he grumbled something that the dragons heard, "This one has to be solved soon."

Tenbu flew outside of the room after saying those words. Drum ran after him and yelled, "Grand-pa Tenbu! We are not done!"

After this, everyone talked a little more before everyone left the room, leaving the adult planning a way to fight against Yamigedo and his demons.


Kuguru returned home and once she entered, her other buddy was the first to welcome her. The blue dragon came at her in his SD form and grabbed her hands, "Kuguru! Are you okay? What happen?"

The girl replied, "I'm fine Iron Chain."

Iron Chain was a small and cute lizardman with blue scales, a long blue tail, a few horns on the back of his head and a pair of yellow eyes. He wore a white and amber armor and a skirt of the same color and bracelets where his chains would be if he was in his real form.

"You can home much later than usual. I've been waiting for so long. You sure you're fine?"

The girl and her buddy explained what happened to her other buddy.

The blue dragon was quick to kneel down and said, "I'm sorry. I should have been with you," his gaze turned away from her.

"No one could have known that me and Baku would be targeted. It was me who wasn't careful," the girl said.

The dragon turned towards the cat. He wasn't accusing him of anything as he asked, "How could you not stop that from happening?"

"I don't know. I never saw this Death Shido," Cat Sith defensively replied.

"He might not have been in his armor when he approached us," Kuguru realised. They talked a little more about the subject but it went no where else, "About the movie you asked," she told him the rating and what it was.

The blue dragon turned gray, "I ask you to do what!" He never knew it was that kind of movie.


Baku was home and thought of the day. He couldn't believe he had his mind possessed and turned against his friend. Not only that but he was the one who helped Yamigedo to return to flesh and put the world in danger, if only I realised it, he grunted after thinking that.

The phone rang and he answered, "Moshi Moshi."

"-Baku! I just heard what happen! Are you okay?-" it was his buddy Axia.

"I'm okay… But you know what happened right?"

"-Yes. The demons used you to get to an Omni Lord. I'm sorry I wasn't with you. I was helping making spell cards to deal against Yamigedo and a special one Tenbu asked.-"

"It's okay. But.., I was the one who helped Yamigedo in the end. I know I was under control but if I could have fought back-"

"-I don't think you could have. We cannot do the impossible and I know you would never put the world in danger if you could have done something. So, don't beat yourself over it. If I was with you, I could have prevented it. Asmodai was alone against this monster remember?-"

The boy nodded, "Thanks. Are you going to work until the night?"

"-Yes. I'm almost done with everything and I'll be by your side no matter what. I also missed my Drumkin,-" Axia giggled at the other side of the lone.

"Good. Because I won't let this happen another time."

They said their farewell and hung up. Baku felt a little better and knew he had to get better to help them.


The night was approaching. In the Mikado's house, the atmosphere was a little colder with the two dragons' conflict. No matter what Drum tried, Tenbu said nothing else.

Drum was alone in the bathroom, after taking a bath that failed to calm down, "Dammit! I thought I know you Tenbu. A womanizer with a kind heart. I… I don't know you at all. Why didn't you tell me anything?" Why didn't you say that you were an Omni Lord when we first met? Why didn't you say anything about Ziun or Asmodai? Why? WHY? What did you ask Axia to do?

He walked out of the bathroom; his armor put back on. He felt too vulnerable to put it aside for now. He needed to calm down if he wanted to sleep. He climbed down the stairs and heard Tenbu talking to the family's parents.

"You really want us to do that?" Suzumi asked with some doubt.

Drum decided to listen carefully.

"Yes. I know I'm asking a lot of you after what he already has done but-"

"No problem," Takashi replied.

What is going on? Another thing Tenbu won't talk about! He was infuriated.

"But why don't you talk with Drum and Gao about this?" Suzumi asked.

"I know we all are family but there are a few things that they have to ignore," he suddenly shows a red spherical jewel in his hand, "This is a symbol of an Omni Lord. This object is special and when you fully exploit its power, you can perceive the possible future far away. That's why there is something I cannot tell my grand-son Drum or his buddy."

Takashi crossed his arms and asked, "Why? What would it change?"

The old dragon sighed, "Whatever or not everyone in this house survive or not. If I reveal everything too soon, then it will cost everyone's life," Tenbu suddenly sobbed, "And I won't let that happen. Even if Drum hates me now."

"Could one thing like that change everything?" Suzumi asked.

"Yes. You called it the butterfly effect on Earth, right?" the nodded at him question, "When he gained that knowledge is important. Anyway, thank you for your cooperation," he bowed and left.

Drum sat on the stairs with a guilt look on his face, Grand-pa Tenbu… It was all for us that you hide things? The dragon felt horrible when he felt a hand on his shoulder.

Halberd was there, "You didn't know Drum. I only know as much as you. Keep believing in Tenbu."

"Halberd. I… I just realised I know nothing of Grand-pa Tenbu," he sighed loudly.

The other red dragon sat and replied, "He is extremely old Drum. Almost no one knows anything about him. What we know is that he is kind, wise and chasing after girls before all of this."

Drum sobbed, "Why does lying and hurting us will protect us?"

"I pulled something like that Drum."

"I know."

"Was I evil?"

"No. You are a good dragon who did what… must have been done," he admitted.

"Tenbu is the same as me. I'm sure he will tell you everything one day."

"Surely… I hope," the XIV was uncertain of it.


"Soon. It will be the time for revenge," Yamigedo whispered as he lay on his belly. He gazed at his friend, resting against his neck. His fur and mane made sure that the boy was warm and comfy, "But rest my friend. You have to regain your strength. After everything I did to you," they will pay for what they did to us Ikazuchi. I promise.


"Why didn't he get rid of this human? He is the one who can stop you. Master Yamigedo, you don't need this human," he watched the waterfall where his master was hiding, as he covered his buddy with his purple cape. He turned around and walked away, "As long as this boy remain, I must stay on the side."


AC: This is the end of this episode. I hope you enjoy it. Yup, things are slowly getting bigger with another antagonist remaining of the side for now but the reason will be revealed later on.

Yes, Tenbu had to ruin the great return of Yamigedo with parenting skills.

Second main antagonist that I ruined with comedy. Azi Dahaka and Yamigedo are victims of it. I have no regrets.

Three more episodes before the first Act ends.

Next Episode: Prelude Of Vengeance.
