Future Card Buddyfight Dangerous Journey
Chapter 25: Friends Gathering! The ABC Cup Afterparty!
Episode Basis: Buddy Monsters Unite!
Genma: Ever since I read the Sun Fighter's comic, made by Yota Mikado, my best friend, I thought I knew the truth of the Sun Fighter and ever since Yota passed away, I tried to embrace that to not only be the leader I aspired to be, but also keep the memory of Yota alive in me. However, it took one match to see that I was wrong and all from that runt of Yota's brother, Gao. To think that he would be the one to not only take the title of the ABC Cup Championship away from me defeat Duel Sieger's ultimate form, but also show me the true meaning of the Sun Fighter and show that anyone can be the Sun Fighter. Yota, if you saw what happened, I'm happy to say that you have one brave little brother.
During the next day after the ABC Cup, after Gao Mikado won the championship belt, it was an off day for everyone at Aibo Academy as most went to relax and rewind from the epic final match, except for one tan-haired Middle School president who was freaking out over the outcome of the year's ABC Cup in his office as his Vice-President assistant watched.
"IT'S IMPOSSIBLE! It's so impossible, the possibility's not possible," Magoroku Shido said, slamming his hands into his desk, slightly throwing the buddy monsters he used in the ABC Cup, Silver Dragon, Adelaide and Bluechase Dragon, Garg into the air, before falling back into the air.
"Relax. Yes, it is true that a 6th grader is the winner of the ABC Cup this year. Gao isn't going anywhere and you would do best to accept it," Sofia said in her usual monotonous tone.
"How could this happened?! As the Student Council President, I'm accountable to appoint, but none of the Middle School teams could defeat him either! If that wasn't bad enough, that… that Wild Card, Akiyama… using a Danger World deck was bad enough for him, but to use Gael Khan to nearly defeat Sieger and Genma! Even if he didn't win, it still burns… Either of them… Take away their luck and skill and THEY'RE NOTHING BUT UNRANKED JUNIOR FIGHTERS! My worst nightmare has come true! It's their fault," Shido said as he stared with malice at the buddy monsters on the desk as he pulled out a fork, "They call themselves formidable dragons! Ha, we'll see how tough they are!"
The buddy monsters cards began to tremble in fear, particularly Garg, as his cruel master was about to stab him with the fork. Suddenly, Sofia pulled a glowing card, turning said fork in Shido's hand into pink tentacles, which wrapped around Shido's arm, squeezing it and causing him pain.
"Ahhh! Cut it out, Sofia! Using Disaster Force is prohibited," Shido screamed as the Duel Dragon stopped trembling and went down in relief.
"A fighter and buddy are one, in body, mind and soul," Sofia said as she picked her suitcase next to her, got up and went to the door.
"Where are you going?"
"Master has sent my orders for the next phase of our plan. Effective immediately, I'll be leaving Aibo Academy."
"And me," Shido asked with a slight whimper in his tone.
"You are to remain here and continue your cover," The ice-cold vice president said as she turned back to her former ally, "As the clumsy, ineffective Student Council President. How did Master put it: a role you were born to play." Soon, Sofia left the office, as Shido stood there in shock for a second before trying to stop her from leaving.
"Wait a minute! Come back," Shido pleaded, before tripping and falling to the ground before changing his mood to shock to frustrated. "What hurts the most of this is if I had my actual Buddy, none of this would have ever happened!"
A little while after that…
In a large area inside of a lush forest with Mt. Fuji in the scenery, a small warp hole opened out of nowhere and came out Sofia. She was in front of a seemingly steep rock wall, which opened, revealing a man-made entrance with lights on the ceiling, leading to somewhere. Suddenly, a familiar, yet evil-looking three headed dragon phantom appeared in front of the former Aibo Academy student, Azi Dahaka.
"He has been expecting you," he said with an evil tone as Sofia began to walk to the tunnel.
Meanwhile, at the Mikado residence, a party to further celebrate the ABC Cup was being held as most of the teams who participated. They were all either sitting on the couch, standing behind it, or sitting on the carpet as Kiri Hyoryu and Kylie Tanyama were about to start a video of the ABC Cup on TV.
"Thanks for coming, everyone! We'll start with Magic World! This world is good for changing your game, with spell cards that are the coolest. You can use them to increase your gauge, inflict direct damage, or even add cards to your hand," Kiri explained as he started a movie, showing action from the ABC Cup competition.
"The monsters are also incredible, and even though they have low power, they can quickly make it up for in battle. Like the combo cards, Knights of Light and Darkness, Licht and Dunkelheit, which called together, they can each increase each other's power and defense by 3000," Kylie continued.
"Lady Suzuha's buddy, Center of the World, Mary Sue, has an uncanny ability. She can select one spell card from her deck and add to my beautiful lady's hand," Sebastian included.
"With my Center of the World, everything revolves around me," Suzuha said, sipping her tea.
"Oh, and don't forget about her Great Spell, My Grandfather's Clock. It allows the fighter to enjoy another turn. It also allows cards from the drop zone to return to the deck. This one helps end the match in a universally beautiful striking finish, milady," Sebastian finished.
"My Angel Queen Serenade deck's full of little miracles. A lady can never be too prepared, which is also why I brought my own tea from home," Suzuha said.
"Let's not forget the cards that can inflict damage, like Yuuten's impact card, De Guaita Crush Knuckle and even though it can inflict a small 2 damage, its other effect allows destroying all the opponent's monster on the field as long as there's a Wizard on your side on the field, which gets me to Witch of Destruction, Hearty the Devastator," Kylie explained.
"That's one of my heavy hitters! Not only she can do a Double Attack, she can destroy an opponent's monster or stop a link attack, all by discarding a card. She's maybe a pouty monster, but she's also a triple threat," Yuuten said.
"Even though you forgot two of her effects in the heat of battle," Saki gloated, before his cheek was pinched and pulled hard by his angry buddy.
"Do you have to rub it in," Yuuten exclaimed.
"The Magic World isn't just spells and damaging effects. They're also some heavy-duty demons and the toughest are the Solomon's 72 Pillars. If you're lucky enough to have these on your side, you'll be pulling a win out the hat in no time," Kiri said as the video showed Tetsuya summoning one of his best monsters, Great Duke, Astaroth.
"Let's feast some Katana slime for lunch."
"With not one soul, but two plus the Soulguard, Great Duke, Astaroth's one fly card, and my buddy A-dog is the hoppinest, most legit monster around. Just check out his Dangerous Backdrop, yo," Tetsuya added.
"Yeah!"
"You're pretty bananas too! Am I right, people," Asmodai said as everyone laughed.
"That was very thorough and well-explained, you two. Sadako, Mitsuko, see to our host and hostess," Suzuha said as her red and green haired maids/tuners each gave Kiri and Kylie a large drink cup with fruit on the side.
"Thank you!"
"Yeah, thanks!"
"It looks like you guys weren't just monitoring your teams, but also keeping record of the entire tournament," Kuguru complimented.
"Well, I may not be a Buddyfighter, but I'd like to think that watching the tournament really made a better person for it. Right, Kiri," Kylie said as she turned to her friend.
"Yeah, and I may not be a great player yet, but after watching you guys play so closely, I'd like to think that Kylie and I are like Buddy Scientists," Kiri added.
"I know, right," Paruko said, jumping in between Kiri and Kylie, "I know the feeling! You don't have to be in there to be in the game, you know what I'm talking about?"
"Tako-chu," Takosuke said.
"She's right on that part. Even Deck builders participate in the action with the decks they make for the players and that much is enough of a thrill, I guess," Jun added with somewhat of a big grin.
"Yeah! All right, then! Which world is next, bros," Baku said.
"Actually, the next world we'd like to talk is the Katana World!"
"Ohhh," Jin gasped.
"All right," Jun said.
"Oh, wicked! That's like my favorite world," Akatsuki vouched.
Meanwhile, in the kitchen, Suzuha's maids, Hanako, Gao's grandmother and Suzumi were preparing lunch and refreshments for everyone, especially octopus dumplings as Gao walked in the kitchen.
"Thanks a lot, Mom. Sorry, but everyone keeps wanting to drop by," Gao said.
"It's alright. The food will be right up. Go ahead! Go hang out with your friends," Suzumi said with a smile as Gao stuttered and Drum walking up to him.
"Chop, chop, kid! We're starving out there," Drum commanded.
"Yeah, yeah!"
At the Buddy Police Headquarters…
" That's it, done. I'm finished with my report. If there's nothing else, I'm out of here," Tasuku said as he was finishing up something on a tablet before handing it to Stella.
"That was fast. Seems like you're in a hurry to get somewhere," Stella said.
"Sure am. Gao's victory party."
"Well, have a good time now," Commander I said in a happy tone. Suddenly, an alarm began to sound off as the monitor in front of the Headquarters' main room changed to a system errors' screen.
"Commander I! It's a Code Red! Someone must be hacking in to our system," Takihara said.
"That's impossible! No one can get though our iron-clad firewall," the little commander said. Soon, the entrance door opened, and coming in were two men, one was a slightly old man with a familiar tan hairdo and mustache and green military leader's outfit with a light green sash across his chest. The other was a little younger than the other, with brown hair and glasses, a grayish-green suit and green tie. Everyone gasped at who the two men were, as Commander I got a serious look, as if he knew who they were.
"As of this moment, the entire Buddy Police Operation is under my control," the old man in the military suit said.
"Commander I, what's going on," Stella asked.
"Special Detectives," he answered, making Stella gasp.
"During a recent secret investigation, it's been revealed that the Buddy Police of this branch has not been following proper codes of conduct, disregarding public safety."
"There has to be some mistake," Tasuku said, walking over to the men, "All we do is seek out and prosecute Criminal fighters and monsters who have broken the law!"
"You are the reason that we're here," the other man said, adjusting his glasses, as Tasuku gasped.
Back to the ABC Cup victory party…
"The monsters of the Katana World are tough Ninjas and Skull Warriors. Both kinds are pretty unmatched at launching counterattacks and finding advantages," Kiri said, showing the footage of Katana World, next showing the skilled fighter of the 6th grade top ranked, Zanya Kisaragi.
"Lethal Formation!"
"That's Zanya's favorite! It's an impact card that works with one of three Secret Swords: Shooting Star, Star Crusher and Moon Fang," Akatsuki added.
"Right! Zanya's no slouch when it comes to ninjas and his Kisaragi Deck is loaded with them," Kylie said, getting a slight growl from her big brother.
"It sounds like you favor them over my deck, Kylie," Jun said in an annoyed tone.
"She didn't mean that, Jun. She's just explaining how Zanya's deck is, so chill out," Shiden said, sitting next to his buddy.
"Whatever," Jun pouted as Kylie sweatdropped a bit at that.
"Anyway… Back to the video…"
"Zanya's buddy, Tsukikage, can use the Nanomachine Replacement ability to dodge attacks," Akatsuki included.
"But Tsukikage isn't the only monster your brother can call. The Katana World has tons of impressive cards to choose from, like Electron Ninja, Shiden. This guy lets you add two new cards to your hand," Kiri said, showing footage of Electron Ninja, Shiden using his ability.
"I pay one gauge and discard one Ninja Arts card from my hand and I draw two cards!"
"And Phantom Ninja, Kashinkoji, has the amazing ability of being able to look at the opposing fighter's cards," Kiri finished.
"But compared to the Ninja Arts, you're just a bottom feeder."
"Extermination Ninja, Slashing Asura!"
"This guy can destroy all the opponent's monsters, when… well, Zanya's demonstration says it all."
"I activate its Ninja Arts: Asura Blast by paying 1 life and my entire hand," Zanya said as his blade was aglow with a fire like aura and slashed his life points to 4. The large Asura-like ninja then leapt to the center and produced three pillars of fire on Jin's field, vaporizing all three of his monsters.
"My stunt double's almost smart as me," Akatsuki said with a smug tone.
"Not to blow your bubble, but Kylie's been giving the play-to-play to us too, you know," Kyosuke said, bumming the little ninja down a bit.
"Skull Warriors are menacing monsters that have been destroyed, but gets resurrected and they're crazy strong, most of them disappear once the turn is over," Kiri said.
"This is why I don't watch scary movies. Someone tell me when they're gone," Akatsuki said as he sobbed, making Jin chuckle a bit.
"To Darkness," Yamigitsune said as he exhaled a lavender mist that engulfed and destroyed Kimensai."
"My buddy, Evil in Heart, Yamigitsune, lets me draw a card and lets me send any Skull Warrior that has inflicted damage to my opponent to the drop zone and most of you remember the set spell that lets me keep bringing back monsters from the drop zone to haunt the fight. I always said they aren't destroyed for nothing. They can always be revived," Jin chuckled.
"Sounds like you need reviving. You forgot your best card. Karakurenai is a special impact card that inflicts four damage and can only be cast when your opponent has four or less life points and two or fewer cards in their hand," Megumi explained as Jin's impact card was shown on screen.
"Demon Way, Karakurenai!" The Skull Warriors transformed into a gigantic fireball, in a swirling motion, blasted Tetsuya, stripping away the rest of his points.
Suddenly, Jin looked to the side of the room as the lights in the room turned off, surprising everyone.
"A ghost," Jin said as a large purple fireball with a scary face appeared out of nowhere, spooking everyone, except a few. As most of them panicked, screamed or just sweatdropped, Tetsuya said to Asmodai, "He a friend of yours, A-dog?"
"Yeah, we hang out sometimes," Asmodai said as the flames changed to Yamigitsune, chuckling a bit.
"It's not fun to scare people, Yamigitsune," Gao yelled in anger at the "so-called" prank of the Skull Warrior.
"Lame," Kyosuke said, sweatdropping a bit with Yuuten clinging to his shoulder in fear and as the two noticed each other touching, they threw off, blushing a bit.
"Sorry," Yuuten said.
"It's alright," Kyosuke replied.
"Well, that was fun," Yamigitsune said as Jun turned the lights back on.
"I think I know whose idea was that and I'm not saying the hosts'," Jun said.
"It was probably Jin's big idea," Megumi admitted.
"I thought you would a bit more scared than that," Jin said as the group of people and Buddy monsters were either sighing in relief or growling at Jin.
"Anyway, if that's it for Katana World, I guess the big thing was that even though it's good for surprise moves and attacks, but if you don't plan hard enough ahead, it's much harder to defeat your opponent," Kylie said.
"Oh, really? You better watch what you said when you talk about Katana World," someone said, revealing to be Zanya outside the living room window, with Tsukikage next to him.
"Hey, Big Z," Akatsuki greeted, "Why didn't you tell me you were here?"
"I was just passing by."
"S'up, Zanya, haven't seen you since the big fight," Gao said.
"There will be payback! Just wait! I see they are girls," Zanya said before getting a bit scared, "Just don't diss Cannon, I mean Katana… I got to be somewhere," Zanya finished before he and Tsukikage vanished.
"What's wrong with that guy," Yuuten asked in a surprised tone.
"It's best not to ask that," Megumi added.
"Next up is the Danger World," Kiri said before a familiar theme song began to play as the Seifukai started to sing before…
"NOT NOW!" Hanako screamed, stopping the singing Seifukai.
"Sorry, it's a habit," Doai said.
"Ok, then, the Danger World, well has Armorknights and powerful Duel Dragons," Kiri explained.
"I admit to that, being a user of said Duel Dragons and President Shido used them too against Noboru," Kyosuke said.
"It has lots of awesome monsters with face-to-face attacks," Kiri said, showing footage of Danger World used in the matches of the ABC Cup.
"My Duel Dragons never back down," Doai said in a smug tone.
"Sure, but my Duel Dragons are better than yours, showing so much power and teamwork," Kyosuke added, angering Doai.
"WHAT WAS THAT!?"
"You heard me. Like Twin Horn Dragon, Ark Giraffa! With his massive power, he can dish some punishing hits with Double Attack, and not to forget my weapon, Twin Explosive Axes, Duel Destroy can dish a second attack after a link attack with a Duel Dragon, making it a lot stronger," Kyosuke gloated, as Doai kept growling.
"Before this turns to a brawl between Danger World fighters, let's continue with the dragon Shido used that got everyone's attention, Emperor Dragon, Gael Khan, which by calling him to the field, he can destroy every monster on the opponent's field," Kylie said as Emperor Dragon, Gael Khan was shown off.
"Nice entrance, don't you think? Now, I activate The King's Roar," Shido said as Gael Khan released a devastating roar.
Stick to your plan for victory," Kamitsumiyaou said as he was destroyed.
"Strength is so 20th Century and now it's all about flexibility," Asmodai said as he was showing off some moves, which everyone was watching.
"Yeah…"
"Well, whether strategy or power comes into question, I think whoever who uses a card should know how to use to its fullest potential, like my buddy and his impact card," Daigo explained.
"Right, one of the most powerful impact cards in the Danger World, Frenzied Rush, has a set of conditions similar to Gargantua Punisher, but the user has to use a weapon before using it. It's a rare and powerful card to be sure," Kiri explained as Frenzied Rush's action was shown.
"Lastly, I cast! Impact! FRENZIED RRRUUSSSHHHH!" Kyosuke leapt with his shining Bravelance into the air, which Yuuten marveled at until Kyosuke threw his spear, which multiplied into the thousands and fell upon her.
"That card is rare, that is true," Yuuten said with slight anger in her tone, "and I won't lose to that again, okay, Kyosuke?"
"Sure, just bring your A-game just like before," Kyosuke said to his previous opponent in the Wild Card Match.
"Anyway, one of the things that makes Buddyfight so fun is fighting alongside the monsters and items and how all of them are so different like my friends," Kiri said.
"I agree, and seeing how the strategies can be used in interesting ways makes me want to play so much," Kylie said as she began to squeal.
"Guys, come on, you're getting a little off-topic. Tell us more about Danger World," Gao said.
"Sure, but while we're on the subject about strong monsters, I just have to bring up Ancient World."
"Hey, that's the world President Shido and Genma fought in their battle. Before that, I had no idea it even existed," The Dragon World user said.
"That's because you're a Buddyfighting rookie, bro. Only the choice fighters of Ancient World can handle their powers, so there aren't many players who can use it," Baku said, waving his dumpling on a stick to Gao, which he ate in anger, "You did not just do that!"
"Ancient World is home to the most powerful dragons, including true Primordial Dragons, Wild Dragons and Dragon Lords! Lots of these guys are Size 3, and really all you need is just one. One dragon, Dimensional Demonic Dragon, Ladis the Tyrant, has the ability to attack twice and nullify any spell or destruction. However, the one monster it couldn't defeat is Genma's buddy, Martial Arts Dragon Emperor, Duel Sieger. To become more powerful, Genma used Lifelink, which united them as one. So, if Sieger was destroyed, he would have lost five life points.
""SIEGER TORNADO!" The monstrous Dragon Lord roared as he ripped his claws into Shido, obliterating the rest of his life points.
"Even though Sieger was defeated, it still come back in an even stronger and enhanced form, Duel Sieger 'Spartand'," Kylie further explained as Duel Sieger's evolution was shown.
"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."
"But still, it could come back in its ultimate form, and amazingly, if 'Spartand' is destroyed, Sieger can return as Duel Sieger 'Tempest Enforcer' and its power and defense is each a whopping 12,000," Kylie concluded.
"But the Mighty Sun Fighter defeated it," Kuguru said.
"To be honest, bro, I had my doubts. I thought we were going to bite it," Baku added.
"I never doubted Gao's ability for a minute," Suzuha said as she was getting more tea from Sebastian.
"Truthfully, I never thought he would defeat our leader," Doai admitted.
"Thanks, but I didn't do it alone. It was a total team effort. That, and the Sun Fist, Sunshine Impact my brother, Yota, left me and don't forget, my super buddy, Drum, here," Gao said, pulling his Armordragon of a buddy in for a hug.
"Thanks, kid, but I didn't do much," Drum said in a somber tone. Soon, Suzumi came in with a fresh plate of dumplings.
"Hey, gang, who's in for some more tasty treats," Suzumi said, but everyone else was distracted about Gao's win against Genma.
"Everyone was so surprised when you pulled out that super Sun Fist card," Paruko said.
"Yeah, I'm lucky Yota had it!"
"Hey, let me scope those Mighty Sun Fighter comics, yo! They sound legendary!"
"Sure! You'll love them!"
"He's so wrapped up! He didn't even notice the food," Suzumi muttered.
Back at the location where Sofia planned to rendezvous with her "Master," she discussed the summary of the ABC Cup, to his "Master," who was a young man with spiky hair with blood-red tipped bangs and cowlick and wearing a white sweater with a black turtle neck, gray slacks and a cross necklace, who was also playing a beautiful piece of music on the organ in the room they were in.
(A/N: If anyone can identify this piece of music he's planning, there's a virtual cookie for you!)
"That's correct, Master. As it turns out, Genma Todoroki wasn't a good match for the Dark Core as we hoped. I am as surprised as you are, especially since Aibo Academy is where the best fighters in the country and possibly the world come from to train. I was confident we find someone who could use the Dark Core and awakened the Disaster Force. I'm sorry I failed you," Sofia said.
"Your efforts weren't a total waste, Sofia. We did find out some interesting things," The master said, making Sofia gasp, "Isn't that right, Azi Dahaka?"
"Well, don't keep in suspense, Master. Please, what did you learn?"
"We've been observing the boy wonder cop, Tasuku Ryuuenji, and during his battle with Aragami, he somehow acquired the true power of cards in the real world. It gave us a great surprise that the Buddy Police had this capability," Azi Dahaka answered for his master.
"What you're describing… It sounds like the Disaster Force…," Sofia said.
"Indeed, it's definitely not like a Buddy Skill. What did he call it? Oh, yes, the Future Force… Rather catchy, don't you think? Although, it's hardly reflective of the destructive power it possesses."
"What are you saying, Master? That the Future Force and Disaster Force are the same thing?"
"I don't know…," the master said before finishing his piece, "However, we should investigate that very thing."
"Yes, Master… There is one thing… It's about the boy who defeated Doai while he was under the power of the Disaster Force. I thought he was gone, but it is him," Sofia said, making the "Master" smirk a little.
Back to the Buddy Police Office, where one of the detectives was interrogating Commander I…
"So, Commander I, I have one question: Why have you been lying to us," the tan-haired detective said, standing on the projected chair where the Commander was sitting.
"I don't know what you mean. Sure, I may tell a white lie from time to time, but who doesn't," Commander I said, trying to hide what he knew, "Like I may get a mustache and yes, you deserved your recent promotion from the Commissioner…"
"I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE SPECIAL ABILITY RECENTLY GIVEN TO TASUKU RYUUENJI," the detective said, making Tasuku gasp again.
"If you're talking about the Future Force, that is top secret," Takihara answered.
"I AM THE TOP SERGEANT! Interrupt me again, and you'll be directing traffic," the detective said to Takihara before turning back to Commander I, "It's dangerous for a child to have that sort of power to make his cards real and you've known this position for quite some time, and you chose to ignore it!"
"The situation called for it. I gave my authorization," The commander said.
"Tasuku used it before, but he didn't have the proper clearance to do so. It's in the records," The other detective said, regarding the time that Tasuku and Kyosuke were stuck in Azi Dahaka's coliseum.
Suddenly, Tasuku took out his deck case and held it out. "TIME TO UNLEASH THE FUTURE FORCE!"
"I will fight you both instead," Tasuku said as he equipped his Dragonblade, Dragobrave, "In place of Jack and Daigo!"
"No, Tasuku! Just stand down," Jack pleaded.
"I don't want to lose you! He's my only family," Tasuku said, making Kyosuke gasp as he heard this.
"In addition, there is the other use of Future Force that was noticed as well," the tan-haired detective mentioned, which shocked Tasuku, knowing he was talking about…
"Well then, fight me instead," Kyosuke said as he took out his case, "I'll take you and protect Daigo because he's not only my buddy; HE'S ONE OF MY FAMILY!" Suddenly, his case began to glow a blinding light that blinded everyone.
"What's going on," Jack said.
"This human…"
"Kyosuke, is that?"
"TIME TO UNLEASH THE FUTURE FORCE!" Kyosuke yelled as his case turned silver and his hair began to grow as long as Tasuku's, but changed to a silver color, except for his gold cowlick. His eyes began to change, turning to golden colored and began to resemble a dragon's eyes. Finally, his core deck case transformed to its fighting mode, but looked more defined, as it gained more scales and the core deck began to spill out and surround him. As the others were stunned by this transformation, Tasuku got up and looked with shock.
"That's irrelevant. Whatever you are talking about, it was probably a miscount of your records," Commander I replied, which made the mustachioed detective stare at him intensively until he noticed that wasn't going to get anything out of the Commander about it.
"You could be right, but still, Tasuku Ryuuenji! Because of your blatant regard for protocol, I will oversee all Buddy Police protocols and effectively immediately, Tasuku is prohibited from using Buddyfight cards for one month!"
"But Tasuku has done nothing wrong! This is entirely my responsibility," Commander I said.
"It's alright," Tasuku admitted.
"Good boy. Now, hand over your Core Deck Case," the other detective said as Tasuku gave his yellow deck case. The man placed some small police tape over it, as Stella and Tsurugi watched in surprise over what was happening. "We need your buddy as well."
As he was asked to do it, Tasuku growled a bit before slowly handing over his buddy, who was like a brother to him, over to the detective and watched in heartbreak as he placed the same tape over his buddy card. Tasuku let a small growl out as this was happening.
Back to the Mikado residence (again)…
"Finally, the last world we going to discuss that has the most monsters: The Dragon World," Kylie said.
"Yeah, it has the best combination of power and defense. It's known for its great variety of Armordragons, like Extreme Sword Dragon, Thousand Rapier Dragon, Thunder Knights Halberd Dragon, Double Sword Dragon and Iron Chain Dragon," Kiri said, showing the action of all the dragons explained on video.
"These guys rocked. They're strong and proud warriors to the battle and tell me the best way to use them, but you know, I would like them, knowing that I have one as a buddy monster, isn't that right," Gao said, looking over to his Armordragon of a buddy.
"And now, it's your turn, Drum! Time to talk your big moves," Kiri said, clicking the remote, "Especially that last move where you totally destroyed Duel Sieger 'Spartand' and 'Tempest Enforcer' with your charging Drill Ram Bunker!"
"It's about time too! CRASH, DRILL RAM BUNKER," Drum screamed as his drill shredded into Sieger's side, destroying the mighty Dragon Lord as he screamed in pain and faded into card pixels.
"DRILL RAM BUNKER!"
"TASTE THE DEFEAT! SUN FIST SUNSHINE IMPACT!"
"All you do is charge with that big drill of yours! Can you do anything else," Asmodai said.
"Hey! Leave me alone, demon! I could do a lot more if I put my mind to it! You'll see, at least I think so…," Drum said in a huff as Asmodai sweatdropped and Daigo took a side glance to the Armordragon.
"You're not forgetting that Dragon World has other monsters, too, right," a voice said, revealing to be Mihara with Niitani with him.
"Yeah, we think the Dragon Knights are totally awesome," Niitani added.
"Those are the guys Noboru hangs out with," Gao said.
"Yeah, Mihara and Niitani, who were part of Team Rising Tiger," Kyosuke added.
"It's not the usual knights on horses. They actually fight and ride on dragons, so they are obviously the bravest," Kylie explained, as the video showed some Noboru's Dragon Knights, including Dragon Knight, Kamitsumiyaou and his buddy, Dragon Knight, El Quixote, "One powerful Dragon knight is the fierce Vlad Dracula, which is a comeback card, as his critical increases by the amount of Dragon Knights in the drop zone, as long as they doesn't go over six, of course."
"THIRSTY FOR LIFE," Vlad Dracula yelled as his halberd was cloaked in blood-red energy and slashed Shido with it and whips of flames, ripping away the rest of his life points.
"I wonder how Noboru is doing in America," Mihara said.
"Nah, I wouldn't worry about him. I'm sure he's becoming a great fighter every day," Gao answered.
"Even if he's not here to train with us," Drum asked.
"Yep, it comes a time where a man must fight alone," Gao said before scratching his head sheepishly, "Actually, I got that line from the Mighty Sun Fighter."
"Fight alone, huh? Interesting…," Drum muttered to himself, as Suzumi overheard what Gao said.
"Well, I'm sure of one thing for Noboru besides becoming a great Buddyfighter," Kyosuke said.
"What's that," Daigo asked.
"Reminding people that the tiger on his shirt is not a cat, it's a tiger," Kyosuke answered as everyone laughed a bit at the funny truth, even Mihara and Niitani.
In another school in America, a certain Buddyfighter was saying something…
"IT'S NOT A CAT! I TOLD YOU, IT'S A TIGER!"
"Ok! That concludes all of them, guys. Thanks for listening to us, you guys and I'd like to thank Kylie for helping with this project of mine," Kiri said as he looked to his partner.
"You're welcome, Kiri! I was glad to do it really," Kylie said.
"Well, alright! Let's show these two our Aibo appreciation," Paruko said as she between them again, "Say it with me!"
"BUDDYFIGHT!" Everyone cheered as if, somehow, a certain person was watching over them….
The next day, at a cemetery, where Gao and his family were visiting Yota's grave, placing a bouquet of flowers for him…
"Well, that's about it, Yota… Oh, and I was able to win the ABC Cup thanks to you and your Sun Fist, Sunshine Impact. I hope you're watching," Gao said to his late brother's grave with his whole family behind and praying.
"Yota, ever since we lost you, I've been so focused on protecting Gao and Hana that nothing else mattered. But, you know? They're okay and starting today, things will be a lot different around here," Suzumi said.
"What do you mean," Gao asked, getting up.
"Well, I've been waiting for the right moment, but now is good as ever. I've been asked to teach in North America!"
"You're kidding me, right? You're leaving for real? Come on, Dad! Say something!"
"Well, I think she should go. She would already be over there if she wasn't so worried about guys," Takashi explained.
"I was hoping you would be happy for me…"
"There's no way we're going to be alright! Without you, Gao won't get out of bed in the morning. Besides, who's going to make my favorite snacks and remind to clean behind my wings and stuff," Drum said as Gao's grandmother pointed to herself, which scared him a little. "Please, Gao! Help me out here! I'm begging you! Don't let her go!"
"You know, I changed my mind! I really think you should go! You don't have to worry about us! Besides, those kids will teach how to be a better mom," Gao vouched.
"I'm glad," Suzumi said with a big grin.
"Gao, does that mean no more pudding," the little Armordragon said in a worried tone.
"Don't worry, Drum! My mom deserves to be happy, you know!"
"That rocks! My mom's going to work in another country! Wait til I tell all my friends," Hana said as she hugged her mother.
"I guess this family is pretty unconventional," Takashi said.
'That's it! Like Father said! It's why I became buddies with this kid in the first place,' Drum thought to himself as he watched the Mikado all be happy for Suzumi's big news, 'But still, that doesn't tell what I should be doing…'
And that's it for this chapter! Sorry, I haven't been updating much recently since March! I have been thinking up story ideas, exchanging ideas with other authors on Fanfiction, and rewatching all episodes of Buddyfight to get more clues on what I should do, not to mention, my college work and thinking about I should go for my major… Luckily, I should have some free time in May, which will start up a lot more chapters, both canon and OC, and with the 2nd season of FCB coming this Friday, I will show more decks and cards needed to be shown, hopefully by new characters I plan to add. Now, here's something I wanted to add: my first chapter preview!
Next time: The Zaibatsu cruise liner is hosting a party and tournament, by a mysterious benefactor, celebrating the ABC Cup this year. With everything that's happening on the ship, will it end with happiness or Disaster?
That's it for now! Please read and review, as for me, this is BlasterDragonoid signing off again!
