Future Card Buddyfight Dangerous Journey
Chapter 21: Divine Beasts of the Ancient World!
Episode Basis: Menacing Beast Duel Sieger!
Akatsuki: When I heard that Gao and the others went out to look for me after I took the Koryukien deck, only to give it back to the Seifukai, I tried to sneak in on them during their dinner, only to be discovered by my bad camouflage skills and then, Big Z came over, only to get me and proclaim that he would beat Gao and Kyosuke in two turns each! Even though this was my big brother I'm talking about, I guess he was still mad that he wouldn't get to battle Genma like he wanted to. The next day before the final matches of the ABC Cup, Kiri sent me a text that the others went to look for Genma, so Big Z could finally have his rematch with him. Of course, he didn't believe and thought Gao and the others tricked me into believing that! However, right before Gao learned that the Secret Sword my brother wasn't the card he wanted Gao to think it was and was going to use Gargantua Punisher, a giant buddy monster came through the ceiling, and it was actually Genma. He wanted to stop the ABC Cup, but President Shido said that he would let Genma in the last rounds of the ABC Cup if he beat him, and then Big Z, Gao and Kyosuke would get their chance to fight him. I know my bro's going to win this time. I just hope he watches out for Genma this time…
"What an unexpected turn of events! Genma Todoroki's back with a bang! And by some mysterious power, he's persuaded President Shido to re-enter the tournament! And if our valiant Seifukai leader manages to defeat President Pushover, he'll move on to challenge Zanya, Gao and Kyosuke. All this after Genma was M.I.A. for his earlier match! What's the ABC Championship coming to? I got to admit, it does add to the excitement! Let's see how this all plays out," Paruko announced.
"You said nothing was worse than sitting close to the speakers," Asmodai commented.
"It's growing on me," Tetsuya said.
A few minutes after the announcement from Paruko, Gao, Zanya, and Kyosuke, along with their buddies in their mini forms, were discussing with Genma in the center stage…
"I'll make quick work of Shido, so you better be ready to fight," Genma said in a slightly annoyed tone, only for Zanya to grunt for confirmation.
"Right! We'll be ready," Kyosuke said with a slightly nervous tone as he sweatdropped.
"We'll be on standby," Gao said as Genma turned to him.
"We've haven't met, have we?"
"Nope! I'm Gao Mikado!" Hearing his greeting made Genma's eyes widen a bit as Gao looks back at him with a perky smile.
'He's the one that Doai told me about,' Genma thought, "So you call yourself the Mighty Sun Fighter?"
"Do you think I enjoy standing here, counting floor tiles," Shido said as he rudely butted in, "My audience's waiting to see me in action!"
"Every time I hear him talk like that, I hate him a little more," Kyosuke said to himself.
"Are you ready that much in a hurry to lose," Genma said.
"I'll admit, I haven't been on top of my game lately, but that will all change today. Just for you, for the special occasion, I brought my favorite deck. I only use it when things get serious," Shido said as he took out a card, which transformed into a large four legged silver dragon with turquoise eyes. "What's this, you say? Just Silver Dragon, Adelaide."
'That is so freaking awesome,' Kyosuke said to himself as he saw the silver dragon and smiled a bit.
'If I win this, people will so impressed that they will allow me to get away with everything,' Shido thought to himself, "Shatter my enemies and turn his soul to smoke! Lumenize, Treacherous Tyrant Deck!"
"Throughout time, victory has always eluded those who fight with corrupted intentions," Genma said as he walked away.
"One last thing, Genma…," Zanya said, making Genma stop to listen, "I'll be the one to defeat you!"
"We'll see about that! Ancient Dragons, awaken and bring your fury to this world! Breathe fire and unleash storms of rage! Lumenize, Koryukien," Genma said as he drew his cards from his armband-like Core gadget.
"Let's tell them what we want to do! Buddyfight!"
"Let's raise the flag!"
"I use Ancient World," Shido announced as he cackled, "Ancient World, the world controlling the powers of Primordial Dragons, Wild Dragons and Dragon Lords. Only a true genius like me could tame such wild beasts."
"I, too, fight for Ancient World!"
"What!? Way to steal my thunder!"
"Yes. We saw him use it last year too," Sofia said from the buddy pit.
"Gao, what's up," Drum asked.
"I don't see Genma's buddy monster anywhere," Gao replied.
"It will come out," Kyosuke said as he, Daigo and the rest of Team Draconic walked up to them, turning their heads to him, "Just wait."
"Maybe it's invisible," Akatsuki said.
"You'll see it soon enough," Zanya said with an indifferent face, focusing on the match, "I have a feeling this will be just like last year."
(G: 10/Gauge: 2)
(S: 10/Gauge: 2)
"President Shido will go first," Paruko announced.
"Charge and Draw! I buddy call Silver Dragon, Adelaide to the center. Attack Genma!" The silver dragon quickly flew and swiped a clean hit onto Genma, who didn't even look fazed by the attack.
"End of Move."
(G: 7/Gauge: 2)
(S: 10/Gauge: 3)
"How was that for an opener?"
"It's the beginning of the end for you, Shido," Genma said with a fierce tone, "Draw! Charge and Draw, come on!" Just then, Genma began to roar and scream as Shido covered his ears from it.
"Calling Flame Dragon Emperor, Magmanova to the center and Fortune Dragon, Forbolka to the left," a Seifukai member said from the Buddy Pit.
"That's it, Genma! You got this," Doai said.
"Forbolkka, let's play a game. Attack Silver Dragon, Adelaide," Genma said as his cat-like monster flew over and attacked his target with a yellow beam from his mouth. Suddenly, Shido's life points went down by 1.
"What happened? Why he'd lose a life point? He wasn't directly attacked," Kiri said.
"It must be a Lifelink," Baku said, which piqued Kiri's attention.
"What's a Lifelink?"
"It's a rare skill which lets the Buddyfighter risk his own life points for enhancing the monsters' attack, defense and critical. But, when a monster with that skill is leaves the field, the player take the damage," Kuguru said, surprising Kiri.
"I know that other worlds share the same skill of Lifelink, but the Ancient World is the world with monsters that mostly have that skill. It's like signing a blood oath to your monsters," Jun said, grossing the others out.
"TMI, Jun, TMI," Kylie said as she waved her hands.
"Lifelink is one of the things I hate about Ancient World," Shido commented.
"The only thing that you care about is yourself. I don't understand how someone like you could ever became our President in the first place," Genma said, making Shido gasp, "Magamnova, attack!" The craggy dragon made of lave and molten rock roared and absorbed heat, blasting Shido with a wave of fire, in which the frail President only jumped as he screamed from the attack, taking 3 points of damage.
"End of Move."
(G: 7/Gauge: 3)
(S: 7/Gauge: 3)
Forbolka only hissed at Shido as he saw the opponent's cowardly display.
"Your move."
"Draw. Charge and Draw! It's tough at the top. You know, being a prodigy can be a little lonely. Call to the center! Dimensional Demonic Dragon, Ladis the Tyrant!" As Shido called his Size 3 monster, multiple dragons flew out of the card and began to form its body, which was a cornucopia of dragon body parts, resembling some type of hydra, which roared a fierce roar. As the others saw this dragon come forth, Kyosuke couldn't help but get a little weak as he saw the titanic dragon and gripped the rail a little harder.
"Kyosuke, you okay," Gao said as he was the only one to notice his friend's displeasured face.
"Yeah. The dragon's awesomeness just caught me by surprise," Kyosuke joked as Gao looked back to the battlefield.
"Let's show them what you can do, Tyrant! Give that little furball a scare," Shido said as Forbolka hissed at Shido's threat. The dragon began to form wings of a rainbow color and formed a tornado of immense energy. "Energy Storm!" The tornado of energy made its way to its target, destroying Forbolka and inflicting one damage to Genma, due to Forbolka's Lifelink.
"Bull's Eye! Now take out Magmanova! Energy Storm!," Shido commanded as Ladis' second attack destroyed Genma's center monster, taking another life point away from Genma.
"End of Move."
(G: 5/Gauge: 3)
(S: 7/Gauge: 0)
"You have no honor, Shido. Do you know you're working against yourself most of the time? All you care about is being #1 and it doesn't matter how you do it or who you harmed in the process. I know secretly you want to make friends and be respected, but you'll never have either if you keep putting people down. You only took the role of Student Council President to boost your ego and not because you actually want to represent the students of this school," Genma said.
"It's not my fault I'm better than everyone else. A good president sees his underlings for who they are, and I got the vision," Shido gloated as Daigo scoffed.
"This human… vain and greedy… Why is he a leader at all? It makes me sick," Daigo said as the others nodded to his words.
"YOU'RE CLUELESS! YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT A GOOD PRESIDENT IS SUPPOSED TO BE," Genma roared as drew and then did his charge and draw, "A LEADER IS SOMEONE WHO TRIES TO BECOME BETTER FOR THE GOOD OF OTHERS AND YOU DON'T NEED A TITLE FOR THAT! You should strive to set light on the problems of the world like the sun!"
"I've heard those words before…"
"What?"
"It's the…"
"What is it," Drum asked as he tried to get Gao's attention.
"The words of the Mighty Sun Fighter!"
"He's someone who sheds light on the problem of the world, like the sun!"
"Earth to Gao," Drum said, snapping Gao out of his daydream.
"Man, I just spaced," Gao said.
"Gao, that's not like you. What's up," Kyosuke asked.
"Nothing, I guess…"
"Yeah…"
"Buddy call to the center," Genma said as he paid three gauge.
"Here we go. You'll see it," Zanya said.
Genma began to roar and scream, "MARTIAL ARTS DUEL EMPEROR, DUEL SIEGERRRR!" As the winds around the stage transformed into a hurricane-like gale force, the sihoulette of the dragon from before began to reveal itself as a titanic red dragon with golden appendages and a glowing sun pattern around its head roaring onto the stage.
"Whoop! There it is! Genma's mind blowing buddy monster, Duel Sieger," Paruko announced, "I'm just curious why Genma took so long to bring him out."
"Sieger is a Dragon Lord and Lords can't be ordered to appear at any time. He's on his own schedule, but when he does show up, he brings a wrath so great that no opponent can defeat him."
"Ha! Yeah, right! You really talk a big game, but he doesn't look all that tough to me," Shido scoffed.
"Say that when I add two Dragon Lord cards from the hand to Duel Sieger's soul! That will allow him to withstand two attacks with Soulguard! You've never seen such a monster with more power face-to-face! Such enormous power comes with a major risk. If he's defeated, I lose 5 life points, but I would share my victory with Duel Sieger a thousand times over. There's nothing capable in the world than the blazing warrior of martial arts! SO, COME ON! IF YOU THINK YOU CAN HANDLE IT! DUEL SIEGER, ATTACK LADIS THE TYRANT! SIEGER TORNADO!" Genma announced. The monstrous Dragon Lord rushed and slashed Ladis to pieces with his razor sharp claws, which created gale-powered strikes. Suddenly, Ladis returned to his previous state.
"He wasn't destroyed," Suzuha asked.
"By discarding a Wild Dragon from his hand and using two life points, Shido is able to nullify any damage to Ladis the Tyrant, milady," Sebastian whispered back.
"Oh, dear."
"This is epic! Actually seeing a Duel Sieger like this! I heard about the dragon from others, but I never thought to see one up close," Jun said.
"It may be closer when we fight Genma," Kylie added, worrying Jun.
"Oh, right…"
"DUEL SIEGER, ATTACK HIM AGAIN!"
"You'll do no such thing," Shido said as he paid two life points and discarded another card to nullify the attack.
"End of Move."
(G: 6/Gauge: 1)
(S: 3/Gauge: 1)
"It's useless, Shido! Protecting Tyrant is a waste of time!"
"Well, I can't afford to lose my shield, can I," Shido said as he charged and drew, "Tyrant! Destroy Duel Sieger!" Ladis' Energy Storm was about to destroy Sieger when…
"I cast Dragon Outlaw!"
"Ha! Just what I expected you to do!"
"He's used another card in his hand and lost two gauge," Megumi said.
"Using up that much means he's just scrapping to get by," Kenji added.
"Yeah. Tyrant's skill is more high maintenance than you are, Megumi. But after cancelling out Dragon Outlaw, Shido's two attacks have obliterated all of Sieger's soul."
"End of Move."
(G: 6/Gauge: 1)
(S: 3/Gauge: 0)
"I guess I really am a genius," Shido gloated.
"I think you should sit down before you hurt yourself. I know what you're thinking: Even if Tyrant is defeated, with 3 life points, you should be able to pull through Duel Sieger's attack."
"Ramble all you want. Your fun and games will be over on my next turn."
"Not a chance! From my hand, I take Magmanova and send it to the drop zone and activate its Flame Shot," Genma said as a card from his hand changed to a symbol, which hit Shido with a fireball, inflicting 1 damage point.
"That's one sizzling spell," Tetsuya said.
"That's not a spell, Tets. It's Magmanova's ability."
"Why isn't Tyrant's ability cramping his style, yo?"
"Ha ha ha ha! Because Shido's out of gauge! He choked!"
"True dat, yo!"
"OK, SIEGER! FINISH OFF LADIS ONCE AND FOR ALL!" Sieger once again slashed through the tyrant, destroying him.
"My Tyrant," Shido said as the shadow of Sieger overcame him, "Wait! This wasn't supposed to happen like this! I can't lose again!"
"SIEGER TORNADO!" The monstrous Dragon Lord roared as he ripped his claws into Shido, obliterating the rest of his life points.
(G: 6/Gauge: 1)
(S: 0/Gauge: 0)
"Game Over. Winner: Genma Todoroki."
As he looked at his monstrous partner, he nodded, "Good job, Sieger. I knew nothing could ever get in our way."
"YES, MY PARTNER."
"What," Kyosuke said, as he heard a loud and regal voice come out of nowhere, "What was that?" As the raven haired boy looked around for the source of the voice, he looked back at Duel Sieger with his eyes widening with surprise, "Was that actually Sieger?"
"Wow! You're really going to fight that ginormous monster too," Akatsuki said as Zanya realigned his glasses.
"You know it. Seriously, I'm not really scared. I got some surprises for Genma and his buddy, Sieger," Zanya said as Sieger roared in victory.
"Kyosuke… Before you fight that guy… I need to make some adjustments to your deck, ok," Jun said with a serious tone.
"Jun?"
"I know that Ancient World is no joke, being a deck builder, and Sieger is, well, hard to describe. However, I think I have a good strategy to fight Genma and that monster if you…," Jun was about to finish when Kyosuke handed his deck to him.
"I don't doubt that you'll make great adjustments to it. As my deck builder, I know you'll make it right. Right, Daigo?"
"Right, my buddy," Daigo said.
"Thanks, man," Jun said as they shook hands.
"Oh, brother! Give me a barf bag," Drum commented.
"Drum," Gao said.
A little later…
'I've been waiting for a long time for this rematch. Finally, I'll get a chance to everyone that my skills as a Buddyfighter are even better than they were last year,' Zanya said as he commanded his monster to attack, "Bandit Ninja, Goemon, attack Genma!"
"Zanya's super quick to strike, taking the dragon by the horns!"
"Ha! There goes your gauge," Goemon said as his skill reduced his gauge as well as inflicting two damage from the attack.
"End of move."
(Z: 10/Gauge: 2)
(G: 8/Gauge: 1)
"Good thinking, Big Z," Akatsuki said.
"In order for him to call Duel Sieger, he needs three gauge. I'll just keep taking it away from him and even a charge and draw will only get him to two. So, it would be a while before he can call him out," Zanya explained as Akatsuki nodded to his brother's explanation, "He who controls the gauge controls the Buddyfight!"
"Zanya sure seems confident out there! Stay in your seats, folks, cause this might not be a repeat of last year's final after all!"
"It's a good idea he had a Plan Z, huh, buddy," Drum joked as Kyosuke and Daigo rolled their eyes at the bad joke.
"Yeah. The Ninja Arts have to bring it," Gao said.
"Huh?"
"You're about to be schooled! I cast Divine Dragon Creation," Genma said as he paid two life points.
"Bro's adding cards to his hand," Baku said.
"Huh?"
"By giving up two life points, this spell allows him to draw two more cards," Kuguru explained.
"Cast! Rise and Fall of Dragons!"
"Psych out," Gao, Kyosuke and Zanya said.
"Buddy call! MARTIAL ARTS DRAGON EMPEROR DUEL SIEGERRR!"
"Great Scott! How many gigawatts is that? There's no waiting this time and with some crafty cardplay, Duel Sieger is called out in the first round and Genma recovers one life point in the process!"
"I take two Dragon Lords from my hand and put them into the soul!"
"Get ready," Akatsuki said, only for Zanya to grunt.
"SIEGER, GO DEVOUR GOEMON! SIEGER TORNADO!" Sieger leapt up and slashed Goemon to pieces, "Now, attack Zanya! SIEGER TORNADO!"
"End of move."
"Zanya really needs a new strategy, or he won't be able to withstand so many assaults," Paruko announced.
Zanya only laughed as the smoke lifted up, "I already won tons of matches with the odds stacked against me, but now here comes the real test!"
"I gotta say, I really like this kid's style," Drum said.
"He seems confident and that's a good thing for him, but…," Daigo said.
"Well, things are about to get hectic," Gao commented.
"I call Electron Ninja, Shiden to the right! Time to Cyber Analyze!"
"Why now," Suzuha asked.
"He can discard a Ninja Arts card from and can pay one gauge to allow him to draw two cards from the deck, milady," Sebastian said.
"I don't need to read this that Cyber Analyzing in this situation is not going to help him," Megumi added.
"I buddy call Nanomachine Ninja, Tsukikage to the center!"
"Nin!"
"He'll have to use a link attack to knock down Sieger's Soul count piece by piece. It will be almost impossible to stop Sieger with his two souls," Jin explained as the ninja duo of Tsukikage and Shiden attacked and took away one of Sieger's souls.
"Final Phase! Lethal Formation!"
"About time! Zanya's specialty! Even with Duel Sieger on the field, if Genma's life points drop to less than three, one blow could give Zanya one of his turnaround victories," Paruko announced as Zanya set his spell.
"One attack to defeat Genma? What is she talking about? He won't go down that easily!"
"An astute observation, Lady Suzuha. If I may," Sebastian said as Suzuha laughed.
"Your move."
"Draw! Charge and Draw," Genma said as he began to roar again.
"Sending Fortune Dragon, Forbolka to the drop zone," One Seifukai member said.
"Now we have two gauge," Another said.
"He must be planning something pretty huge if he's increasing the gauge," Doai said.
"You're up again, old friend. Go attack Shiden," Genma commanded as Shiden jumped in to counterattack, only to be destroyed by Sieger's attack, "Now attack Tsukikage!"
"Nin Nin!" Tsukikage leapt to the air a few feet above Sieger, but was destroyed as well.
"Final Phase! I cast!"
"Is that the move," Kiri said.
"Won't that activate Zanya's Lethal Formation," Kuguru said.
"Bro, he doesn't have enough gauge. It's not possible," Baku said as Zanya grunted in worry.
"Those who control the gauge… Looks like they do control the Buddyfight and it looks like I win again," Genma said as he held a fireball in his hand, "EVIL CRUSHER, STEEL DRAGON BARRAGE!"
End of move."
"See that? Our reigning champ just took 4 life points off Zanya!"
"No offense, but you hardly improved since last year. You're still relying on those ninja tricks and not willing to go all out! Don't be a coward! Push yourself to test your limits! You can't achieve anything if you're not risking taking some damage."
"I'm not a coward," Zanya said.
"Your move."
"Draw! Charge and Draw! I wouldn't have done this last year, Genma! I equip Ninja Blade, Kurogachi!"
"Well then…"
"I call to the right Extermination Ninja, Slashing Asura, " Zanya said as he called his Asura-like monster onto the field.
"Stop the presses! Zanya called a Size 3 monster from his hand!"
"I activate Slashing Asura's ability by giving up one life point and my entire hand! Ninja Arts, Asura's Blast," Zanya said as his monster literally lit Sieger on fire, only for it to come back on the field.
"Your precious Sieger is out of soul! Asura, let's get him!"
"Zanya's using a link attack against Sieger!" Asura shielded the attack from Sieger, only to give Zanya the chance to slash from the back with his Ninja Blade, Kurogachi, which sliced him in half.
"You actually got him," Akatsuki said.
"Did he seriously beat Duel Sieger?"
"He did. That was amazing."
"Zanya should win now, for sure!"
"How is this even possible? Dragon Emperor Duel Sieger's been defeated and because of Lifelink, Genma will lose all 5 of his remaining life points," Paruko announced as Genma's life point count slowly went down, "So, it looks like the winner is…"
"That was epic! I always knew you beat him," Akatsuki said as he sobbed tears of joy and Zanya grunted in happiness. Suddenly, when the life point count reached 0, it began to glow, catching everyone's attention, especially Zanya's.
"What's going on? What's that light?"
"The show is about to start," Suzuha said.
"I was afraid of this," Daigo said.
"What do you mean," Kyosuke said.
"Spit it out, Furball," Drum said.
"My master told me of Ancient World and its deadly dragons and the deadliest of them all was Duel Sieger," Daigo said, which made the others gasp.
"Why didn't you say about it before," Drum shouted.
"Because, spoiled dragon, I didn't think a human would have monster in his deck, let alone his buddy. Whenever Sieger is struck down, it loses its previous body and evolves!"
"Now I call!"
"Call?"
"Here it comes…"
"DUEL SIEGER: ENHANCED FORM!"
"Oh, man! Give me a break," Zanya said as he shielded his eyes from the flash.
"I call the Martial Arts Dragon Emperor, DUEL SIEGER SPARTAND," Genma roared as his dragon appeared with his legs becoming arms and getting another set of arms, as well getting a golden armor of some kind. The call was so powerful that it actually blew Zanya away a few feet, "If Duel Sieger is ever destroyed, I can call him from the hand and once he appears, the Lifelink is canceled and my life points return. I told you, Duel Sieger is supreme. Did you actually think you could beat him? Ha!"
As the massive dragon stared down Zanya, the young Kisaragi could only stay still in fear as he said, "I failed… again."
"Do you think that Genma is true? Maybe there is no one who can handle Duel Sieger's incredible strength, especially now that he's returned in a more powerful form!"
"Awesome," Gao commented.
"Whoa, I'm jealous," Drum said.
"This is so amazing," Kyosuke said as Daigo stared in fear.
"Before we go any further, listen up, Zanya. I may have been a little too harsh on you earlier. You have improved a bit since our match last year, but not nearly enough to defeat me," Genma said as Sieger gave a majestic roar.
Well, that's it for this chapter and sorry I didn't update earlier, but community college and being sick takes away my time. But, nonetheless, I have to ask to my readers, do you want to see Kyosuke fight against Genma in the next chapter or Gao? What do you want to see in the next chapter? Review and comment for next and as for me, this is BlasterDragonoid signing off again!
