"Lets see, what do the dice have in store for me in my next match?" Jin said tossing them up into the air. What he got was all he needed. "So, Sunset. I've decided I'm gonna lose my next fight."

"That inst very courteous of you. What about the tournament? Or was Shido's proposition too much for you to handle?" Sunset said.

"Be honest, he was surprised to see you in there. It was almost like he knew you and were up to something. And it was already foolish of him to pay me up front." Jin said.

"You really do live up to your reputation, Jin Magatsu." A familiar voice said as tasuku appeared with a girl with a tablet.

"Tasuku! This is an undercover mission!" she said.

"What are you doing here, Tasuku?" Sunset said.

"Official business, seeing has how and illegal monster was here. I advise you not to trust your partner. I know he accepted a bribe to fix a buddyfight. They call him the uncrowned king, and now i see why." Tasuku said.

"Youre telling me to back out on him? I already wanted to do this so I could fight Twilight as a friend. I'm not backing out." Sunset said.

"He just said he was gonna try to lose his own fight, which i think is disrespectful to you, your opponent and his." Tasuku said.

"I'm not doing this for Jin...I'm doing it for myself and my friends who worked hard to be here. I am going to fight even if its on my own." Sunset said.

"Huh...:"Jin said.

"Now if I want to know anything else… huh?" Tasuku said seeing three dragon heads in the sky.

"Is that thing...really a monster?" Sunset said before something popped into her head. She saw a world of darkness where dark dragons and skeletal beings roamed as a large three headed one roared. When she came back to, Tasuku and the monster was gone. "What...just happened?"

"You passed out for 2 minutes as the monster took Jackknife and Tasuku." Jin said.

"2….minutes?" Sunset asked getting up.

"No time to waste, dear girl, let's hurry to the fighting stage." Jin said.

"Right. The match." Sunset said. "But...what did I just see?"

In another dimension, Tasuku woke up to find himself with Jack in an arena. Jack himself was unconscious.

"Jack!" Tasuku shouted as Jack slowly awoke.

"Ugh...Tasuku." Jack said.

"Where is here? Are we in dragon world?" Tasuku asked.

"Quite the opposite, actually." said a voice as out from behind a door came a massive dragon clad in armor with a huge sword.

"Super Armor Dragon: Galvanic Feather Dragon. I've never seen the real thing before. So this must be the Dragon World." Tasuku said.

"Its a battle arena. One where monsters from different worlds fight." Galvanic said.

"So why bring Jack and Myself here?" Tasuku said.

"I did not. We are here to fight. The winner is recognized as the strongest and added to Azi Dehaka's army of darkness." Galvanic said.

"Azi Dehaka?" Tasuku asked.

"If you want me to fight you, then my buddy has no place here." Jack said.

"Indeed. Then the two of us alone shall battle." Galvanic said as they both charged.

Meanwhile back in the fighting arena at Aibo, the match was already underway as Tetsuya landed a hit on Jin with Demon Realm Warrior, Zepar and Twilight hitting Sunset with Dragowizard, Medium.

End of Move.

"Wow, I did expect this from the smartest student, but are we really seeing this? Known to be called the weakest fighter in his grade, Tetsuya Kurodake just wiped two damage off Jin magatsu in his furst turn!" Paruko said.

"Jin, its our move." Sunset said as they both drew. "Whoa. Megumi, it looks like he got a good card."

"Yeah. Only someone like him would get that card. Its Demon Way, Karakuranai. It can only be cast if both centers are open, the opponent has 4 our less life and 2 cards or less in their hand." Megumi said.

"I think I'll add it to my gauge." Jin said doing so. "Well, may as well make it look like I'm trying. I buddy call Evil at Heart, Yamigitsune to the center. Then I call Blood Knight, Kimensai to the left and Sea Splitting, Irukamaru to the right." Jin said doing so.

"Okay. Jin's doing like I predicted. And knowing Sunset, she'll call Jibanyan to the center." Twilight said to herself.

"Now...I call Living Umbrella, Pallysol to the center!" Sunset said.

"What?" Twilight said.

Oh...Summoning Time!

Cheerful music played as Pallysol jumped and danced to the center.

Summoning Heartful.

"Pallysol!" Pallysol said.

"Looks like Sunset's using one of the other two decks I made for her." Tails said.

"Youre a deckbuilder too, huh bro?" Baku asked. "So yo-kai night parade wasnt the only one you made?"

"Yup. I made three based on the archetypes of yokai, being normal, Classic and Merican. She using the Classic one. It doesn't have as many Yo-kai, but it should still give them trouble." Tails said.

"Next, I'll call Future seeing cow, Predicabull to the right and then Sitting Room Child, Gnomey to the left!"

The heartful summoning then played like it did for Pallysol as a small cow in a kimono appeared on the right and Gnomey appearing on the left.

"Now..I will use their abilities. When I pay one card, Predictable lets me peek at your hand!" Sunset said as Twilights deck was shown, having three monsters, Magical Goodbye and Key of Solomon, First Volume. "Now, I activate Pallysol's ability. Not only does he blow your monster back to your hand, but you have to reshuffle your deck."

"And with my ability…" Gnomey said. "I steal two of your gauge and give it to Sunset." he smiled using his net to take the two gauges and give them to Sunset.

"Now...I get to attack." Sunset said.

"Not good." Twilight panicked as all three hit her.

106

"I end my move and let Jin take the show." Sunset said.

"Not bad…" Kimensai said. "It's nice to rise on the side with her on it for once in this battle."

"I dunno about you two, but I think Jin aint gonna go all out." Irakamaru said. "And I was hoping for a good fight like last time."

"Heh. You cant argue with the way my buddy does things." Yamigitsune said.

Asmodai was laughing a bit.

"Aaaah! Whats so funny? Youre freaking me and Twilight out here, yo!" Tetsuya said.

"Cause you're about to get hurt." Asmodai said as Kimensai sliced through Zepar and hit Tetsuya with Penetrate.

108

"Penetrate with a size 1 monster? That wont be good in the long run for you, Tetsuya." Sci-Twi said.

"Hey, relax. Did you forget all Skull Warriors vanish at the end of the turn?" Asmodai said.

Yamigitsune soon destroyed Kimensai with his ability before it could even vanish, sending it to the drop zone.

"Hey, his turn wasnt done, whyd he go like that?" Tetsuya akse.d

"It's Yamigitsune's ability, to Darkness. By sending a Skull Warrior that did damage to the Drop Zone, he draws a new card." Sci-Twi said. "And now here comes more punishment. Brace yourself!"

Irakamru and Yamigitsune attacked together.

84

End of Move.

"Check out that continuous attack! Now tetsuya and Twilight are down to 4 life each!" PAruko said.

"Hmm. If hed kept Karakurenai, he'd be done on his next move." Megumi siad. "Sunset, next turn, no matter what Jin does, make sure you win at least. Remember, so long as both fighter on a team ;pses, we move up."

"Got it." Sunset said.

"But not unless we do some damage first." Sci-Twi said.

"Cmon A-dawg, Twi! Lets throw it down!" Tetsuya said charging his gauge. "Yo! Uh-huh! First imma pay three gauge, let this beast outta his cage. Great Duke, Astaroth is making his appearance in the center!" he said sending a demonic creature to the center.

"Let us feast on some Katana World slime for lunch." Astaroth said.

"Whoa. That Astaroth guy looks strong. I like him!" Natsu said.

"You should. He has a two-card soulguard and Double Attack." Aqua said.

"Whoa. So Sunset is in major trouble now. Whoa." Indigo said.

"Yo, Yo! A link cast is best, Astaroth pays 0 gauge to unleash my spell card rage! I double cast, Key of Solomon First Volume and Second Volume. I get two gauge back and one life, dawg!"

45

"Next, I call my main man, Demon Lord, Asmodai to the left, yo!" Tetsuya said.

Asmodai then appeared to the left.

56

Asmodai then attacked Yamigitsune with his ability before Yamigitsune reappeared to attack Astaroth, only for him to come back with Soulguard.

"Before we go any further, I'd like a turn, please." Sci-Twi said.

"Sure, go right ahead, homie." Tetsuya said.

"Dont say that ever again. But I'll call Dragowizard, Gan Alkimia to the center." Twilight said calling a dragon in some sort of captain garb holding a gun appear in center. "And with his ability, I pay four gauge to destroy a monster on your field, and I pick Pallysol."

"Well, we all gotta blow away at some time." Pallysol said before being destroyed.

"Next, I pay one gauge to call Dragowizard, Mitschuler to the right." Twilight said as a dragon in adventurer garb appeared. "Now, attack the fighter!"

"I cast Classic Guardian! By discarding monsters from my field, I can negate as many attacks as there are monsters on the field. I have two so I'm safe for now." Sunset said.

"Then I cast Key of Solomon First Volume and end my turn." Twilight said.

End of Move.

Back at the arena dimension.

Jack and Galvanic clashed head on, but it seemed like Galvanic was gaining the upper hand. Tasuku had enough and brought out his core deck case.

"I cant just sit back and watch this anymore. Jack came to me because I wanted to protect my family, and I'm not about to lose any more! Time to release...The Future Force!" Tasuku said transforming. He quickly entered the battle and attacked with Dragobrave and Dragon breath.

"What are you doing, Tasuku?!" JAck said. "If youre doing this, then doesnt that make you like Jin?"

"I know that. But then Sunsets ideals came to me. If I don't fight with my buddy, then I am no better than Jin. I will fight with you Jack, no matter what." Tasuku said.

"Such foolishness. I will punish you for this intervention, both of you! Galvanic Thunder!" Galvanic asid blasting lignting and knicking both back.

"It's no use, even with you here we cant beat him." Jack said.

"Then theres one option left. If we created Gargantua Punisher together, then we can make a new one." Tasuku said as just on cue, a card soon appeared in his hands. "Jack...this is….a new impact."

Jack roared as Tasuku smiled as he rose it.

"Now...I use the Impact!" Tasuku said as the sky darkened as a dragonic hand came out as it grabbed a chained sword before showing it had a dragon's head on the head. "Dragonic….Punisher!"

The sword slammed down into Galvanic and he was defeated.

"Forgive me. I always thought that humans were weak and inferior. But I never imagined one would join with their buddy. My life...is now yours." Galvanic said before becoming a card and going to Tasuku.

"Come on Jack, let's go home." Tasuku said.

Back at the figthig stage…

"Its now or never. Time to win this! I Buddy Call to the center, Slicing Wind, Kamaitachi!" Sunset said.

OH...Summoning Time

Kazoo playing to the charming music then played as Kamaitachi moved swiftly to the center.

Summoning Charming

"Kamaitachi!"

"Kamaitachi, I need your help to win here, so can you?" Sunset asked.

"Of course. I still owe you for liberating my village from El Jefe, do i not?" Kamaitachi said.

"Now, I cast emergency recruits! With this, I can make two monsters size 0. And with it, I call Evil Spider, Arachnus and Chill Frog, Toadal Dude to the left and right!" Sunset said as the Eerie and Tough played as the two appeared.

'I did not see us fighting alongside each other again, foolish frog." Arachnus said.

"Same here, stupid spider." Toadal Dude said.

"These two are special. When Arachnus comes, my opponent cant use spells and when Toadal Dude is out, my opponent can't summon monsters." Sunset said.

"That makes my deck and strategies completely useless!" Twilight said.

"Now then, my turn. I'll call Yamigitsune to center… oh, no wait, the right. In the center I'll put Tempest, Garo-oh!" Jin said as they appeared.'

"What the? That guys stupider than you, spider. Once Garo-oh's gone, its all over for jin." Toadal Dude said.

"He is planning to lose on purpose, frog. I can tell by that look on his face." Arachnus said.

"But we'll advance if we can just time this attack right. We cant afford to let this progress go to waste, understood?" Kamaitachi said.

"Yeah, I got it." Toadal Dude said. "Bye Bye, Dragon Bro!" Toadal Dude said hitting Gan Alkimia and destroying it. "And I penetrate!" Toadal Dude said.

64

"I can do more damage than that!" Arachnus said. "I stab at the heart of darkness with my webs!"

41

"Now...it comes to me." Kamaitachi said quickly disappearing.

"What, where did he…" Sci-Twi said before Kamaitachi appeared behind her.

"You were a magnificent opponent, young Twilight. But...Sunset picked her Yo-kai friends well." Kamaitachi said slashing her.

Game over: Twilight. Winner: Sunset Shimmer

"And with that, Team Naniwa Card Club moves on to the semi finals!" PAruko said.

"Now lets just hope Jin has the same drive to follow me." Sunset said as Garo-Oh brung Tetsuya down to 4 life. Yamigitsune destryed him allowing JIn one extra card, but he stalled.

"Jin, wake up! You can draw one, gah!" Sunset said accidentally touching his hand. Together, they saw the sun right in front of them, and in it, Gao.

"Hey man, I'm really looking foward to seeing you in the finals! " Gao said.

"You really wanna fight Gao? Then you need to fight like a real warrior and stop playing the puppet." Sunset said.

Jin drew his card, and it was a second Karakurenai.

"I dunno what you did, but you made me see him. Now I have to win!" Jin said.

"Again, it happened again. What was that?" Sunset asked.

"Now, final phase!" Jin said as the space behind him turned blood red. "One who brings cataclysm! The skies shall be blood red tonight! Demon Way, Karakurenai." he said as visions of his Skull Warriors appeared as they moved out and attacked Tetsuya in a spiral, eliminating his remaining Life points.

Game over! Winner: Jin Magatsu!

"Well, we lost. But that was actually really fun." Sci-twi said. "I think I'll hold on to this deck and keep working on my skills, dont know when I'd get an actual buddy."

"It'll come one day, Twi. Just be glad you aren't those two." Sunset said pointing to Arachnus and Toadal Dude.

"I told you, I will not lose, frog!" Arachnus said.

"Yeah. Same here. I'm the one who's always been right." Toadal Dude said.

"So now theres only one match left." Hope said.

"Dan and Noboru… vs Shido." Tails said.

"Yep, its gonna be good." Natsu said.

A few minutes later…

Hope and Sunset walked out with the two fighting Yo-kai.

"Ugh, why did we bring them out?" Hope asked.

"I didn't want them wrecking the fighting stage." Sunset said.

"I've been right for a longer time, frog." Arachnus said.

"Well, I still say creme filled is better." Toadal Dude said.

Hope then realized something.

"Hey, wait a second. What exactly HAVE you two been fighting over all these years?" Hope said.

"I will tell you. Years ago, we were summoned by Enma and decided to give him a gift. We both decided on donuts. What better gift for a Yo-kai king." Toadal Dude said. "But, the idiot spider, he said to get him custard filled when creme filled is better!"

"Its custard!" Arachnus said as the two growled.

"They've been fighting…?" Hope stared.

"Over donuts?" Sunset ended.

"Wanna settle this argument?" Hope said.

"Yep, this has gone on long enough. And I think I know just how to do it." Sunset said.

In front of a donut shop, Hope walked out with two donuts each.

"Here. We have two donuts. Each are filled with custard and creme. Maybe trying them together will change your minds." Hope said.

The two looked at each other before grabbing a donut and eating it, both with shocked expressions on their faces.

"This donut...its creamy, yet it has a custardy taste that amplifies the creme!" Toadal Dude said.

"And the custard, it flows like honey when paired with creme." Arachnus said.

"These are….THE BEST DONUTS!" the both shouted.

"Yup. Say hello to the best of both worlds. The Custard Creme Donut." Sunset said.

"Spider, let us take these to Lord Enma as a new offering." Toadal Dude said.

"Frog, I could not agree more." Arachnus said as they each put an arm over the other's shoulder as they laughed and walked off.

"Whew. Glad we cleared that up." Sunset said.

"Hard to believe a donut squabble caused them to fight for years. Hopefully they'll get along now." Hope said.

"Yeah, though I can see their point. Some people are just passionate about what they like." Sunset said.

"And we know a guy whos more passionate about being one of us than any one. A certain green haired guy." Hope said.

"Man, Izuku and his class really have grown on us. I wonder when we'll see them again." Sunset said. "Probably won't even be there when they do pop back up."

"What do you mean?" Hope asked.

"Oh. Me and the girls are taking time off for a week at summer camp." Sunset said.

"You dont mean Camp Everfree, right?" Hope asked.

"Yeah, why?" Sunset asked.

"I heard strange things go on there. Youre probably better off taking the others with you on that little trip." Hope said.

"Please, don't tell me you're superstitious. They're just old camp stories meant for a few scares." Sunset said.

"I know their stories, but Jexi and the gang might need a break too. Besides, Jexi's never actually been at a real camp before." Hope said.

'That's true. He's only done camping with his brothers in the woods. Look, I appreciate you looking out for us, but I'm sure we'll be fine." Sunset said. "Let's not forget I always have help whenever I need it." Sunset said pointing to the watch.

"Yeah." Hope said.
