Leona walked through a snowstorm in the mountains wearing nothing but her short golden dress. And yet for some reason the blonde girl was not cold at all. As she was wandering, she saw in the horizon a tall figure sitting with its arms crossed waiting for her. The girl rushed to it and after fighting against the strong winds she managed to reach it. The figure was none other than Kaizer and he was holding the first map piece in his right hand while staring at the girl.
"Kaizer-sama…" Leona mumbled.
"Leona, I am now on my way to mount Everest to find the second map piece. Tell the others to come with the UFO and meet me at the lap of the mountain." Kaizer ordered.
"I understand, Kaizer-sama."
All of a sudden, Leona opened her eyes and saw that she was lying in the bed of her hotel room. The annoying snores of Alwyn were breaking the silence that was in the room while the warming sun rays were announcing the ending of the night.
Leona got up from her bed and then she quickly packed their luggage. Afterwards she took a look at the window and saw two flying vehicles belonging to the police lying in the small parking lot.
"Tsh, those goodie-two-shoes must've called the cops while we were sleeping last night." Leona remarked and then she rushed to the other bed and shouted. "ALWYN, GET UP, WE'RE LEAVING!"
"What in the world's name is going on?!" Alwyn exclaimed and then he fell off the bed. "Leaving? But the hot springs are awesome here, la!"
"Kaizer-sama needs us right now, and besides, the cops are after us." Leona explained.
"The cops? But Alwyn the Onsen never stole anything!" Alwyn cried.
At the reception, Tsugumi and Luna were discussing with two policemen about what happened the other night while a third policeman was taking the dead body of the drunken man to his rocket so that they could investigate the cause of the death later.
"So how does this Leona look like?" the policeman asked.
"Her hair is big and messy, resembling a lion's mane. Her eyes are blue and you can easily see the sadism in them. Also, she is dressed in a short golden dress." Luna explained.
"Oh, don't forget that she has a white hairpin that resembles a lion head." Tsugumi added.
"Alright, I've taken down her details." a second policeman said and then he lowered his pen and cyber notebook. "Don't worry, we'll investigate the hotel and find her."
But little did the quartet know that while they were discussing, Leona and Alwyn sneaked in the men's showers with their luggage. Afterwards the duo waited inside and looked at the window to see if the coast was clear. When they saw that the third policeman got back in the hotel, they left the showers and reached the outdoor pools, and once they were there, they ran off in the forest and disappeared without leaving a trail.
Back at the reception, the policemen left Tsugumi and Luna alone and focused on finding the criminal. Tsugumi sighed with relief and sat on a chair while Luna looked at the clock and said:
"Tsugumi-chan, it's 7:30 AM, shouldn't we get ready?"
"For what, Luna-chan?" the chosen light duelist replied.
"Our train arrives in 30 minutes." Luna continued.
"Alright, let's pack our stuff and go home. Though this really wasn't the vacation I was hoping for…"
"Me neither, Tsugumi-chan, me neither."
At the chosen duelist UFO, the party had really shown its signs upon the living room. Regardless of how hard Subaru and Robert tried to clean it, there were still soda and chocolate syrup stains on the walls and floor and there was still glitter on the dance floor. However, Subaru and Robert were too exhausted to clean those and both fell asleep, Subaru on the couch and Robert on the floor.
Tiger appeared in the room dressed in yellow pajamas with black stripes and having his blonde hair all messy. He rubbed his eyes and then he took a better look at the mess.
"Tsh, they're too lazy to even clean it up. With such guys how could we expect to ever defeat Kaizer?" Tiger silently spoke to himself.
The chosen nature duelist sighed with annoyance and then he turned around and left the room.
In the meantime, Tsugumi's and Luna's train had arrived with ten minutes earlier but the girls were lucky to have packed their stuff quickly so they were able to catch it. As the train took off, Leona and Alwyn sat on a rock a few feet above them and watched how the vehicle was leaving the hotel.
"That was a close one, ah. Right, Leona?" Alwyn said.
"Tsh, at least I was able to have some fun with those two." Leona replied and then she took out a cell phone. "Alright, it's time for us to make tracks."
The girl made a phone call that was finished quick and then in a matter of seconds Kaizer's UFO appeared above the two duelists. Its front door opened and Shubham appeared with sunglasses on, a garland of blue flowers on his neck and a coconut with a straw on his right hand.
"Aloha, how are you guys doing?" Shubham greeted them.
"We're doing fine, what about you?" Leona asked while sweating.
"Oh we've been to Hawaii to relax a bit as well. You should've seen Alien at limbo, that little bugger owned all of us. I swear, this guy must have a really flexible skeleton!"
"Haha, Alwyn the Onsen can beat Alien at limbo anytime!" Alwyn countered.
"Alright, enough with the fun stuff; we've got work to do!" Leona interrupted them.
Shubham nodded to the girl and then he turned his back and waved his hand. In the next moment a white ray came out of the spaceship and teleported both Leona and Alwyn inside of it. Afterwards the door closed and the UFO took off.
A few hours later, Tsugumi and Luna had arrived at the UFO. Even though she had the keys, Tsugumi preferred to ring the door bell just to check and see if anyone was awake. Luckily, in just a matter of seconds Tiger opened the door.
"Welcome back." the blonde boy said with a smile which surprised the two.
"Thanks, Tiger. Boy, are you in a good mood today." Tsugumi replied and then both girls entered the spaceship.
"Actually, I'm not really in a good mood, but I don't think that I should stress you two with my problems." Tiger continued.
"Hihi, typical for you." Luna giggled.
"So has there anything happened while we were gone?" Tsugumi asked.
"Oh, nothing big, Subaru and Blane threw a party in the living room." Tiger said casually.
"Oh, I understand…" Tsugumi replied with her calm voice but as she thought more about it, she realized what was going on and then she shouted. "Wait, THEY DID WHAT?!"
Seeing Tsugumi's reaction, Tiger realized that both Subaru and Blane were in deep trouble. Happy to see them get what they deserved, Tiger turned around and walked away; waiting to see what was going to happen when the blonde girl reached the two party monkeys.
"God, you leave them for just a day and they already decide that it's time to throw a party!" Tsugumi lamented.
"It can't be that bad, Tsugumi-chan?" Luna suggested.
"I tell you, Luna, if I find the living room trashed, those two will have some serious problems!"
Before the blue haired girl could even react, Tsugumi dropped her luggage and rushed down the corridor all the way to the living room. When the blonde girl opened the door, she had the pleasant surprise of seeing Subaru and Robert scrubbing the last stains on the walls and floor.
"Oh hey darling, welcome back!" Subaru greeted the girl.
"Boys… I don't believe it, this place is clean!" Tsugumi exclaimed.
"Well why wouldn't it be clean?" Robert asked and winked.
"Tiger told me that you and Blane threw a party and I expected this place to be a total disaster…" Tsugumi said to Subaru.
"Well Tiger didn't know that I am a responsible guy, unlike…. someone else." Subaru said proudly to the girl.
"In that case, it's good to be back home!" Tsugumi said and then she hugged the black haired boy who was still holding a scrubber in his hand. "I missed you."
"I missed you too." Subaru replied and then both lovers shared a warm and passionate kiss.
"Alright, I guess my job here is done…" Robert silently said and then he left the room so that he wouldn't disturb the intimate moment of the couple.
But just as he got out of the living room, Robert got face to face with Nolan whose enthusiasm was easily read on the smirk of his face.
"Robert, I think I've found a new trail to Tigra!" Nolan said while handing him another piece of paper. "You know what you've got to do."
Later that day, Blane got out of his room feeling dizzy and slowly headed to the kitchen hoping that the headache would go away. However, as he reached an intersection of corridors, Subaru came from the right and met him.
"Well, well, look who finally managed to sober up." Subaru said ironically.
"What happened? Last thing I remember was shoving lots of beer down my throat." Blane replied.
"Oh not much, you just got your hands on some bananas… and screwed things up." Subaru spoke in a more harsh tone and then he crossed his arms.
"Did you just say bananas?! Oh gosh… what did I do?" Blane said while slapping his face.
"Let's see… you shoved a banana down my throat, and then shoved another into my butt, all while making statements that suggested that I was gay."
"Oh no, I'm terribly sorry, Subaru, I don't know what came into me!"
"Haha, don't worry, apology accepted. After all, seeing you dance naked with two bananas in your ears while saying that you were a pretty lady made my day."
At the hearing of those words, Blane's jaw dropped as the boy fell into an ocean of shame. That was it, his reputation as an all around awesome hero was ruined.
However, the embarrassing moment got interrupted when a rather angered Tiger appeared down the corridor as well and walked past the two.
"Hey Tiger, how's it going, buddy?" Subaru tried to talk to him in a friendly manner.
"How's it going? Not good at all!" Tiger harshly replied.
"How come? Is something wrong?" Subaru asked with concern.
"Yes, something's definitely wrong!" Tiger continued and then he turned to the two duelists and gave them a furious stare. "And that's all of you!"
"All of us? What's the matter dude, did you drink more than me?" Blane joked.
"I didn't drink, 'dude', because I have better stuff to do, and that's worrying about Kaizer! While all of you were on vacation and partying, all I could ever do was fear that Kaizer might already have gotten his hands on the next map piece and is probably one step closer to reaching Devil Diabolos Zeta's temple, and all because you guys had nothing better to do than waste your time relaxing!"
After Tiger spat his whole anger at the two of them, he turned his back and left.
"Sheesh, what's gotten into him?" Blane asked.
"I don't know yet, but I'll try to find out." Subaru responded.
All of a sudden, an alarm resounded in the whole spaceship and made both Subaru and Blane jump in the air, waking up to reality. The duo rushed to the control room where Luna, Tsugumi, Tamma and Nolan were already present. Nolan was sitting on the driver's seat, ready to pilot the UFO, Luna was sitting at the main computer and was pressing buttons with the speed of a rabbit, and Tsugumi and Tamma were standing on their feet in the middle of the room.
"Hey, what's going on here?" Subaru asked.
"Luna just detected on her radar a strange vehicle moving with huge speed towards the Himalayas. There is only one person whom we know that would have interest there." Tsugumi explained.
"So this means that we're going on another mission?" Subaru pointed out.
"Seems so." Blane added.
"The coordinates are set. All systems ready for launch." Luna announced.
"Then let's get this baby in the skies!" Nolan declared as he pressed a red button.
All of a sudden, the room began shaking and the UFO got two rocket engines come out of its back. The spacecraft slowly rose from the ground and in a matter of seconds the engines shot flames out and the vehicle took off into the clouds.
Inside the control room, the spirits seemed to have calmed. Tamma was sitting on a table and rocking back and forth, Tsugumi was admiring the sights from the window, Blane was resting on a chair and Subaru was sitting by Luna's side while the girl kept staring at the map from the computer screen.
"So what's the situation, Luna?" Subaru asked.
"If everything goes well, we should be able to reach Kaizer in half an hour." Luna responded.
"That's great! And by the way, Luna, you've known Tiger for quite some time, right?"
"Yes, you're right, Subaru, I've known him ever since I got into Duel Masters."
"Then could you care to tell me why is he always so grumpy? It's like nothing in this world can make him smile with happiness."
"Oh that… Well, it's a long story."
"I got my time." Subaru announced while sitting on the seat next to Luna.
"Very well, I guess it's no harm telling you all." Luna replied and then the blue haired girl noticed that everyone's attention turned to her. "I first met Tiger when I was seven years old. I was heading home and decided to take a shortcut through a dark alley and that's where a bunch of hooligans picked on me. They stole my cards and were about to rip them in front of me, when…"
Ten years ago, in a dark alley from the city of the chosen duelists, a little blue haired girl wearing glasses and a primary schoolgirl uniform was crying while a fat brown haired teen was holding her hands to her back and making her watch how his friends were about to rip her cards one by one.
"Haha, let's see with which one shall we start. I know, let's take little Emeral." a tall and skinny blonde teen said as he showed an Emeral card.
"No, don't harm it! It's my only copy of it!" little Luna cried out.
"Poor little missy is going to cry?" a bald boy of medium height with an earring in his left ear mocked her. "Do it!"
Just as the tall boy was about to tear Luna's Emeral to shreds, he felt the strength of a hand grab his arm and force him to let go of the card. Then someone quickly grabbed it and disappeared.
"Hey, who did that?" the bald teen asked.
A punch in the face was the only answer he received. As he fell on the ground and dropped the water cards of Luna's deck, a small figure came out of the darkness and grabbed them all. The other two teens immediately recognized the stranger and the tall one exclaimed:
"What are you doing here, punk? This isn't your…"
Before he could finish his sentence, he felt an incredible pain in his groin region and fell on his knees. Then he received a punch in the face which knocked him out as well. Shocked of such power, the fat teen let go of Luna and ran off as much as his meaty legs allowed him.
"Do you need any help?" the voice of a little boy resounded.
Little Luna adjusted her glasses and saw that the one who saved her was a boy around her age with messy blonde hair and who was wearing a green T shirt with holes torn into it, short white pants and sandals with mud stains.
"Thank you." Luna replied and then she grabbed the blonde's hand and got up.
"Here, I'm guessing this belongs to you." the boy said and then he handed Luna her deck.
"Yes it does." Luna confirmed while taking her deck back and checking to see if any of her cards was harmed. "Thank you once again."
"Meh, it was nothing." the boy dismissed while turning his head away.
"My name is Luna, what is your name?"
"I don't have a real name… but the guys I know call me Tiger due to my fighting skills and looks."
"Nice meeting you, Tiger. Do you want to come to my home and play?"
At the hearing of that offer, little Tiger's cheeks immediately turned red. Luna giggled at him and said:
"Why are you so embarrassed?"
"It's just… I never had anyone invite me at their home." Tiger shyly replied.
"Then it pleases me to be the first!" Luna said and grabbed his hand. "Come, let's go!"
And so the two kids ran off from the dark alley and headed towards a flat.
"When I introduced Tiger to my parents, they were a little skeptical in letting a boy of the streets into their house to play with me. However, when I explained how he saved me, they agreed to let him stay." Luna narrated.
"But that still doesn't explain his attitude." Subaru intervened.
"I am getting there." Luna replied and then she continued the story. "When my parents asked Tiger about his family, he told us that he ran away from home a year ago. His parents were both drunken jobless people that would always beat their children up and send them to steal stuff so they could get money to drink some more. Tiger also had a sister, but she died at the age of six from starving for a week. His sister's death was the last straw and since that moment Tiger left his family's house and joined his real home – the jungle we call city. He was raised on the streets and the hooligans whom he befriended taught him to fight and used him as their weapon against other gangs. Basically he lived that kind of life for a year until he met me."
"And what happened after he met you?" Tsugumi asked.
"I introduced him to Duel Masters and while he was browsing through my card collection, Fighter Dual Fang was the one creature that caught his interest. He asked me how to make a deck around it and I helped him build a basic Beast Folk evolution creature deck. He had a sharp mind and learned the game pretty quick. At that time I was using Cyber Lords and during our duels he used to defeat me a lot, regardless of how many shield triggers I had because he kept rushing me with his smallies. Hehe, for a moment I thought he was a fire duelist and not a nature one."
"So Tiger loved the mana accelerating and power boost skills of the nature civilization." Nolan remarked.
"Indeed he did." Luna nodded. "However, once he became better at dueling, he returned to his old ways of fighting gangs on the streets, but this time he was a loner. He entered in underground dueling tournaments and kept winning game after game, attracting the jealousy of many bad people to the point where they set a price for his head. In other words, Tiger had to run from place to place in order to save his life. The next time I met him was at Hakuoh-sama's school, and he was changed. He was no longer the nice boy that saved my life, no, he was a loner that viewed everyone around him as being the enemy. He trusted in nobody and preferred to stand in the back and watch the others like a predator who was preparing to strike. Fortunately, he never did strike."
"Yeah, because that was when me and Luna came in!" Tamma intervened.
All of a sudden the whole room shook. An alert was turned on and they saw on the computer screen that another UFO was attacking them from behind.
"Kaizer…" Nolan angrily murmured.
"Don't worry; I have installed weapons that will help us respond back!" Luna said while pressing some buttons and making four laser cannons come out of the UFO's exterior walls and aimed at Kaizer's UFO.
All of a sudden, the image of Leona appeared on their computer screen much to everyone's shock.
"Greetings, chosen losers, I presume you wonder why we are attacking on you." Leona spoke with an ironic tone in her voice.
"Wow, took you hard to figure that one out." Subaru fought back with the same irony.
"We are both heading in the same direction – the Himalayas, so I thought to make our trip a little interesting." Leona continued, this time with a more serious voice.
"And what do you have in mind, you creep?" Tsugumi asked.
"A UFO kaijudo duel! One of your guys will come on the top of your UFO and face one of our guys that will be on the top of our UFO." Leona explained.
"And what do we gain from this?" Nolan brought up.
"We cease our attacks on you. Don't expect presents, I'm not Santa." Leona continued with the sarcasm.
"So when is this duel starting?" Luna asked.
"Right now!" Leona replied and then her image disappeared from the computer screen.
Meanwhile at the highest level of the spacecraft, Blane was looking for an opening in the ceiling that would let him get to the roof.
"Leona, you're still obsessed with power, I see. Well then, it's time for this hero to show you what real power is!" Blane spoke to himself while still searching.
"Don't bother, 'hero', this is not your battle." a voice resounded from the darkness.
"Who said that?!" Blane burst out.
"I did!" Tiger said while stepping out of the dark. "Sorry, mister stalker, but this cat's gonna take this battle into his own paws."
Before Blane could react, Tiger pressed a button from the wall and made a hole appear in the floor right under the brown haired teen's feet in which he fell to the lower level. Tiger gave him a victorious smirk and afterwards he closed the hole in the floor and opened another one in the ceiling through which he climbed to the roof.
The blonde chosen duelist looked around and he saw that the enemy UFO was right next to theirs and that both vehicles were heading towards a chain of mountains in the horizon. The weather was getting colder and colder, and the sun was getting covered by clouds. A hole appeared in the roof of Kaizer's UFO and out of it climbed none other than Alien.
"You're my challenge? This will be easier than I've thought!" Tiger declared while taking out his glowing deck from his pockets.
Alien was also holding a glowing deck in its right hand. Two metallic dueling tables rose out of each UFO's roof and both players set their cards on them. With the usual 'Duel start!' shout their match began.
"Tsh, what an awful hand with such big costing guys…" Tiger lamented in his mind. "Good thing I have this little guy."
Tiger tapped Blazing Tiger, Crimson Lord and Natural Snare in his mana zone and then he showed a multicolored card to his opponent while saying:
"I summon Yattare Pippi."
"That bird will not be here for too long!" Alien declared while tapping DNA Spark and Shadowflash Revival Spiral in its mana zone. "I cast Spiral Gate and send Yattare Pippi back to your hand."
"Shit!" Tiger thought while the card got bounced to his hand. "Alright, let's not panic."
The blonde teen placed Quatro Fang, Burning Soul into his mana zone tapped and then he tapped the other two cards and showed the same card once again.
"I summon Yattare Pippi." Tiger announced.
"You should learn when to give up, human." Alien advised while putting Hyperspatial Gallows Hole in its mana zone and tapping all three cards. "I cast Miraculous Snare and send Yattare Pippi to your shields!"
"Not good!" Tiger thought while watching the card get bounced and land face down in his shield zone. "Oh great, if I don't draw a low cost card this turn I'm screwed…"
Luckily for Tiger, the next card he drew cost 4 mana. Putting a smile on his face once again, the chosen nature duelist quickly placed Raging Apache Lizard into his mana zone and then he tapped all four mana cards.
"I summon Iron Arm Tribe! With its effect I put the top card of my deck to my mana zone." Tiger declared and then he watched how Rampaging Horse 'Koku-Oh Version' landed in his mana zone.
"I summon Chief De Baula, Machine King of Mystic Light and return Miraculous Snare to my hand." Alien said while grabbing the mentioned spell from his graveyard.
"I summon Silver Shovel and with its effect I send it and your Chief De Baula to our mana zones! Iron Arm Tribe, break his shield!"
The white haired and red caped horse like warrior jumped from one UFO to another and used its club to break Alien's middle shield into pieces. Afterwards the creature jumped back on the chosen duelist UFO.
"I cast Hyperspatial Energy Hole and draw a card. Afterwards I put Mother Alien (Gladly) into the battle zone." Alien said and then a faceless queen with pink hair and a white dress out of which blue fish with sharp teeth were coming out appeared behind him.
"Heh, I'm sorry kid, but your mommy is going back where she came from!" Tiger said and then she showed a nature spell. "I cast Natural Snare and send Mother Alien back to the hyperspatial zone!"
The alien queen got surrounded by a green aura and she screamed in pain as she vanished into thin air.
"Iron Arm Tribe, break another shield!" Tiger ordered and the horse like warrior repeated its attack and broke the farthest shield from Alien's right.
"I summon Gaga Pikarian and draw a card. Afterwards I cast Miraculous Snare and send Iron Arm Tribe to your shields." Alien said and then he watched how Tiger's creature disappeared and the chosen duelist gained a seventh shield.
"Tsh, I've lost my chance of attacking him… for now." Tiger thought and then he drew his next card and showed it to his opponent. "I summon Mykee's Pliers and end."
"I evolve Gaga Pikarian into Emperor Cebu Marco X!"
The small white alien driving a mini submarine got surrounded by a blue aura and grew in size. When the aura disappeared, the alien was now a huge green alien that had a red X for eyes and three mouths that had sharp teeth.
"Emperor Cebu Marco X lets me draw three cards. And now I also summon Gaga Crouton, the Prophet. Emperor Cebu Marco X, double break his shields!" Alien ordered and the giant green alien attacked the two shields which Tiger gained through Miraculous Snare.
"Tsh…" Tiger murmured as he stared at the Iron Arm Tribe and Yattare Pippi from his shields, he not needing those cards in that moment. "Let's see what the deck offers me."
After Tiger drew his next card, he put Iron Arm Tribe in his mana and then tapped eight mana. He showed two cards to his opponent and said:
"I summon Yattare Pippi and Dimension Horn, the Temporal Foundation! And since Mykee's Pliers make all my nature creatures speed attackers, I use Dimension Horn's effect and destroy it. Afterwards I put two psychic creatures that cost exact or less than the number of cards from my mana zone. And since I have 9 mana… I bring Chain-Arm Tribe and Quatro Fang, Soul Gang Leader out!"
A white horse like warrior appeared behind Tiger alongside a large white tiger like warrior. Both beasts roared loudly at Alien.
"I end my turn." Tiger announced.
"Fine, then it's time to finish this!" Alien declared while placing a light card upon his only light creature in the battle zone. "I evolve Gaga Crouton into Gaga Alcadeias, Lord of Enslaved Spirits!"
A golden armored angel with black wings and a black head that had a shining red X instead of eyes and a mouth with sharp teeth appeared behind Alien.
"Gaga Alcadeias does not allow you to cast any spells while you don't have an Alien in the battle zone. Now go, Gaga Alcadeias, triple break his shields!" Alien ordered and Gaga Alcadeias fired a purple lightning from its right hand which took down three of Tiger's shields. "Emperor Cebu Marco X, break his final shields!" Alien continued and the giant green creature spat three blue laser beams from its mouths which destroyed Tiger's last shields.
When the attack finished, the shield shards quickly united into five cards which Tiger took into his hand. None of them were shield triggers, but it didn't matter since he was about to win.
"Alright, time to end this!" Tiger declared. "I summon Apache Hyahho and with its effect I put Shoot Fighter Pippi into the battle zone. Afterwards I evolve Apache Hyahho into Great Hercules, Giant Insect!"
"Uh oh, this is not good!" Alien thought while seeing the giant blue insect materialize by Tiger's side.
"I attack with Great Hercules and using its effect evolve Shoot Fighter Pippi into Quatro Fang, Burning Soul from my mana zone! Go, Great Hercules, double break his shields! Chain Arm Tribe, break his final shield!"
Alien took cover as the creatures broke his last three shields, and much towards his disappointment, none of the cards were shield triggers. The creature trembled as it saw Tiger proudly deliver the finishing blow.
"Quatro Fang, Burning Soul, todomeda! GET HIM, TORA!" Tiger shouted.
The huge sumo-like warrior made of flames, with an X mark on its chest and the head of a tiger roared and spat streams of fire upon the poor Alien, blowing it and its cards off of Kaizer's UFO. As the defeated being fell to the ground, a beam came out of the UFO that teleported it and its cards back inside. Afterwards Kaizer's UFO flew ahead of them towards the Himalayas.
Back inside of the UFO, the other chosen duelists were cheering happily for the victory of their teammate.
"Alright, Tiger did it!" Tamma exclaimed.
"He may have had an awful start, but with his mana accelerating and creature spam he managed to turn the game to his favor." Nolan commented.
"So Luna, what did you say that happened once you met Tiger at school?" Subaru brought back the conversation.
"I tried talking to him but he was cold and a little mean to me, kind of like how you were back at the school. Back at that time I had befriended Tamma and he didn't like at all Tiger's attitude, so he challenged him to a duel." Luna continued the story.
"Boy was he tough!" Tamma added. "I lost to him like no tomorrow, but I told him that no matter what happens, I would do my best to defeat him."
"Tiger liked his ambition and my supportive attitude, so slowly we managed to melt his icy heart. He may still act mean towards others, but deep down inside we know that he cares for his friends." Luna explained.
"And we've seen this right now." Subaru said. "Heh, if anything, I think that we'll be able to get along with his tough guy attitude. And I can't blame him, he was raised that way."
"Indeed. The point is that Tiger is a part of the family and we'll accept him the way he is." Tsugumi added.
Meanwhile at the UFO's roof, Tiger was staring at the mountains which the spaceship was approaching and the clouds above them that were getting bigger and bigger.
"A new storm is coming…" Tiger whispered.
