Two mythic cards have been acquired. Davis has Blue Sky Pegasus and Takato has Yellow Sun Dragon with him and Guilmon combining like Davis and Veemon. Now they came to Australia with Marcus and his group searching a local town.
"Hey Shinegreymon are you sure there's a mythic card in this place? The first two were in ruins in jungles." Marcus said.
"I can feel the mythic card is somewhere here." Shinegreymon said.
"I'm sure if we look around we can find it." Thomas said.
"Maybe there's a card shop and someone thinks it's a normal card." Keenan said.
"Or maybe it's left lying around somewhere." Falcomon said.
"If these cards are that valuable they wouldn't be left around." Yoshi said.
"Hopefully the others are having better luck than us." Lalamon said.
"Whoa!" Marcus said. They looked up to see a sign for a dueling tournament of mask duelists happening today.
"Marcus we don't have time to see the tournament. We got to find this mythic card." Yoshi said.
"No look, at the top left. Take a look at the two duelists." Marcus said. They looked up at one in a blue and yellow mask and one in a green and brown mask.
"That kind of looks like Kouki and Ivan." Thomas said.
"This we got to check out if those two are here." Marcus said.
….
The Tournament
People gathered around what looked like a wrestling ring and they were all cheering.
"Good day mates. Now introducing our two tag tea champions. Thunder Roar and Spiker!" An announcer said and Kouki and Ivan came out with the crowd cheering. Marcus and the others were in the stands.
"Yeah that's them alright." Thomas said.
"What are they doing here?" Agumon said.
"When did they become dueling champions?" Marcus said. They watched the two of them duel and they were winning.
"Now Thunder Charge Swordsman attack them directly." Kouki said and had a swordsman in blue armor slash with a sword of thunder and had them won the duel. After the duel Kouki and Ivan were signing autographs for kids.
"Here you go." Kouki said.
"I like signing this stuff for kids, but gets annoying. Of course I never say that out loud." Ivan said.
"You just did." Kouki said.
"Hey can we get autographs too Thunder Roar and Spiker?" They looked to see Marcus and the others.
"Where there's a face I thought I wouldn't see for some time." Kouki said. They went into their dressing room and they were catching up with Nanami. "How've you been Marcus? We haven't seen you for some time."
"Well trying to keep the digital world safe keeps you busy." Marcus said.
"When did the two of you become dueling champs?" Yoshi said.
"Well after you guys stop Draysel we needed new hobbies and with this becoming popular we ended up here." Kouki said.
"So are you a duelist too Nanami?" Thomas said.
"Oh no. I just manage both Kouki and Ivan in this career." Nanami said.
"Why don't you all join us for lunch? Then later I can show Yoshi that I'm a gentleman." Ivan said.
"Ivan you need to do something about that habit of saying what you're thinking." Yoshi said. All of them went to a fancy restaurant to have some lunch.
"Wow this place looks nice." Agumon said.
"Just watch your manners." Gaomon said.
"Let me ask. Does this town have a history about a legendary figure or at the very least a temple or something?" Thomas said.
"A temple? Well there are ruins down at the bottom of the lake. You can see it right out the window." Nanami said as they looked out the window and saw the lake. "I've done research. Long ago there use to be a young villager that loved to fight. The only companions he had were three dogs. Soon he became friends with the emperor's son and the two of them got themselves fighting each other too. That man had the heart of a wolf and no matter how hard he tried he would never give up. They say all the fighting they did brought them even closer."
"Underwater? That would explain why we couldn't find anything." Shinegreymon said.
"Yeah, but if it's underwater how are we going to get it?" Marcus said. Marcus stared out the window trying to figure out how they were going to get the mythic card if it was underwater.
"Hey Marcus." Kouki said coming up to him.
"Oh hey Kouki what's up?" Marcus said.
"Listen I know we got off on the wrong foot with that whole Kurata thing, but after you left I was hoping we could actually be friends." Kouki said.
"Friends?" Marcus said.
"Yeah, sure he fought against each other, but we've got a lot in common." Kouki said.
"Of course man." Marcus said.
….
At Night
Later at night a portal from Baron World opened up and Sucram was the one that came through at the lake.
"The mythic card, I can feel it. It's under the water. Not a problem to clear." Sucram said. He charged up an energy blast in the palm of his hand. Meanwhile Marcus and the others were walking through the streets.
"How are we going to get the mythic card if it's underwater boss?" Agumon said.
"I don't know." Marcus said.
"What we should do is find a way through the water." Thomas said. Then they heard an explosion. Even Kouki, Ivan, and Nanami heard it.
"What was that?" Ivan said.
"It sounds like it came from outside." Kouki said. When they looked out the window they saw all the water in the lake was gone and in its place were the ruins that were mentioned. Sucram walked into a coliseum and in the center was a giant fist with the mythic card in between the fingers.
"There it is." Sucram jumped up and punched the fist causing it to shatter. When he picked up the card, but shocked his hand. "Of course the card must be used in a duel first."
"Marcus?" He turned around and faced Kouki and the others.
"What are you doing?" Kouki said.
"Kouki!" He looked to the other entrance and saw Marcus and the others.
"Sucram, what are you doing here? Guys get away from him." Marcus said. However Sucram tossed the card and Kouki caught it.
"What is this?" Kouki said. Then Sucram held up his Baron Negative Force card and had Kouki fall under his control.
"You now duel for Baron World. Do as I say, destroy that boy." Sucram said pointing to Marcus.
"Kouki what's wrong?" Nanami said.
"He's not in control of his mind." Thomas said.
"Sucram what are you up to?" Marcus said.
"You see there's a special barrier around the mythic card. It will only be taken once used in a duel." Sucram said.
"Boss you have to duel Kouki." Agumon said.
"I know and right when we became friends." Marcus said. "It's dueling time." The two of them activated their duel disks.
"Let's duel!" They both said having 4000LP.
"I'll go first. I summon Counter Hook in attack mode." Marcus said. A fighter with a yellow brace with a giant C coming out of it came up with 900atk points. "Next I activate Tag Team In. This allows me another summon. I summon Quick Jabber in attack mode." A boxer launching punches at incredible speed came up with 1100atk points. "Now I overlay both my level three Counter Hook and Quick Jabber. With these two monsters I build the overlay network and xyz summon Iron Hard Fists." A boxer made of armor with armor boxing gloves came up with 1900atk points. "I end my turn."
"My move." Kouki said. "I summon Night Stalker in attack mode." A man in a black cloak carrying a sword and lanter came up with 900atk points. "Next I activate Double Thunder Roar. This allows me to summon two thunder monsters. I summon Thunder Wasp and Voltage Orb." Voltage Orb was a ball of thunder with stick arms and legs at 1000atk points and Thunder Wasp was a wasp with electricity coming out of its wings with 800atk points.
"I didn't expect Kouki to have weak looking monsters." Marcus said.
"Now I use Voltage Orb to have all my monsters match the same level and I say level three." Kouki said and all became level three. "Now I overlay all three of my monsters. With these three I build the overlay network and xyz summon Black Night Cerberus." A dark black fur Cerberus with chains around its three necks came up with 300atk points.
"Shinegreymon is that the mythic card?" Marcus said.
"Yeah, I can feel its power." Shinegreymon said.
"That thing only has 300atk points?" Keenan said.
"Black Night Cerberus attack with Nightly Savage Crunch." Kouki said.
"Why is he attacking?" Nanami said.
"I use Black Night Cerberus' ability. By using one overlay unit I can switch our monsters attack points." Kouki said. It ate one of the overlay units and their attack points were switch.
"Hold it. I activate Iron Hard Fists ability. By using one overlay unit it can withstand the attack." Marcus said. One unit was crushed in its hand and withstood the attack, but Marcus was brought to 2400.
"I place one face down and end my turn." Kouki said and their monsters had their attack points switched back.
"Boss what are you going to do?" Agumon said.
"Whatever I can. Not only do I have to get that mythic card, but I have to win this duel if I'm going to free my friend." Marcus said.
