Chapter 26: Divine Guardians
"The greatest Buddyfight in the world! The WBC Cup Japan Representative Invitational Tournament is taking place here, at Cho-Tokyo Island, B! Cold! This tournament is close to final stages. However! Gao Mikado's Buddy, Dragon of the Sun Bal Dragon, was kidnapped by Doctor Gara, B! We discovered a secret laboratory underneath the hotel, but... There was no sign of Bal Dragon anywhere! We barely escaped with our lives!" Then seagulls came by as they peck on him, "Ouch! Stop that! Stop them! Stop that! Stop them! And so it's time for Buddy..."
"Meowt!"
At the Cho-Taiyo Hotel, Gao and his friends were looking at the ocean, where the lab was destroyed.
"We've lost all trace of your Buddy. It seems we can help you no further." Rouga said.
"Sorry that we couldn't be more of use." Cerberus said.
"Bal. Just hold on. I'll rescue you from Doctor Gara and Kiyotaka Izayoi, no matter what!" Gao swore.
At the town square...
"Now, the WBC Cup Japan Representative Invitational Tournament is entering its 4th day! As the battles for the top positions rage on, there's been a major upset!" Paruko announced, "Gaito Kurouzu has been headed straight for the top, but he has a new rival! Master Tasuku Ryuenji has been closing the distance in record speed! With his last win, Master Tasuku has finally outranked Gaito Kurouzu! On that last part, Daisuke Masamune has reached in third after Gaito Kurouzu! As a commentator, I can't help but be excited!" Paruko announced.
At the UFO Stage...
"Twin Star! Jack & Fang! Shoot!" Tasuku shoots at his opponent, inflicting one damage as he ended the match.
"He's done it! That's his 99th win! Master Tasuku Ryuenji is just one win away from his 100th win!" Paruko announced, "He's taken the lead over Gaito Kurouzu to be the undisputed top competitor!" She then got a tension, "What's this? I'm picking up a new Paru-call! I'm so busy! Well then, Master Tasuku! Let's see each other at your next fight!" She transported herself to the next fight.
"One more win, and we're headed to the World Championships." Jack said.
"I think we've fought enough today." Tasuku said, "Let's head back." He recommended.
"Sure." Jack nodded as Tasuku received a phone call as it was from Gao Mikado.
"What did you say?!" Tasuku asked as he received the message from Gao about Bal's disappearance from Doctor Gara.
"It's the truth. We found Doctor Gara's hideout, but it was a trap. It exploded. I know you and Teacher Daisuke warned us, Senior Tasuku, but... I'm sorry." Gao said.
"I'll contact Daisuke and head over to you right away." Tasuku said.
"Tasuku?" Jack wondered.
"Apparently Bal has been kidnapped. By that Doctor Gara!" Tasuku explained.
"What?!"
"I messed up. I shouldn't taken my eyes off him!"
"I can't believe he kidnapped Bal in broad daylight!" Jack said.
"Gao and the others are waiting for us at the hotel. We better call Daisuke and hurry back." Tasuku recommended.
"Right." Jack said as Tasuku was about to make his call.
"Oh? Isn't that kinda cold of you?" A young girl's voice asked, "After all, we finally managed to run into each other! Why don't you play... With... Me? You mackadocious GQ!" It was Ageha, who was above the tree with her Buddy monster, which looks like a white dragon serpent, with a heart on the forehead and small angel wings, and dark yellow lining.
"A mackadocious GQ is a stylish guy who's cute to boot!" Her Buddy said.
"A Buddyfighter!" Jack recognized.
"At a time like this?" Tasuku asked as Ageha landed on the ground.
"I'm Cho-Nagoya Representative, Ageha Gokuraku!" She introduced herself after taking selfies.
"And I'm her Buddy, Eternal Envoy, Aettir!" Her Buddy introduced herself as she gave a wink.
"I've finally found you! Mister Tasuku Ryuenjji!" Ageha said, "I've searched for you, like, forever!" Then her Buddy smiled.
"You were searching for me?" Tasuku asked.
"That's right! Now, let's get started!" Ageha said as she pulls out her phone for the Paru-call, "Paru-call!"
At the UFO Stage...
"Oh! Someone is calling for me!" Paruko announced as her hair tension tingles, "I'm in the middle of commentating on what may be Gaito Kurouzu's 98th win... But I'm heading out to the next Buddyfight! Warp!" She transported herself to where Tasuku's at.
"What?!" The opponent asked, "Hey! What about our fight?"
"Is it really a good idea to be looking away?" Gaito asked as he jumps close to the opponent. It made the opponent nervous as Gaito makes his final strike, "No matter who I'm facing... I won't let them get in my way of my destiny."
"Warp Successful! What's this?!" Paruko noticed the players, "Do my eyes deceive me? It's Master Tasuku! I must commentate this, no matter what!"
"Just as I thought. All according to plan." Ageha expects this.
"Huh?" Tasuku is confused of what she said that.
"Let's head to the UFO Stage!" Paruko said as the UFO Stage is set, sending them inside.
"Before we have a chance to calm down after his 99th win, Master Tasuku Ryuenji's next Buddyfight is about to begin!" Paruko announced as Tasuku appears on the red side of the stage, "Will Master Tasuku be the first to reach 100 wins?" Then Ageha appears on the other side, "Or will the Cho-Nagoya Representative, Ageha Gokuraku, stand in his way? This battle is definitely be one to watch!"
At the starting point...
"What a disaster!" Baku said, "He ran into another fighter before he got here!"
"This really is such a bad timing. She already founded him first!" Haruka said.
"The rules say you can't turn down a fight." Kuguru recalled.
"Senior Tasuku..." Gao said as the usual explosive occurred on the stage.
"Sleeping beneath Aibo Academy for countless years! As always, I'm everyone's favorite, Ozon B! I've recovered from last week's Die Hard-style explosion! I'm going to give it my all today!" The cat came out with a banner, 'Congratulations on surviving! I love Tasuku!'
At the UFO Stage...
"Just now, you said this was according to plan. Exactly what are you trying to do?" Tasuku asked.
"You want to know? Really?" Ageha asked, "Then maybe I'll tell you."
"For real?!" Aettir asked, "You're gonna say it?! Declare it?! Confess it?!"
"My goal? That would be... Basically, to be the center of attention! I want everyone in Japan to stare at me and say what a hottie! So hype! I worked really hard on my make-up and my fashion and my Buddyfight skills too!" Ageha explains.
"Um, excuse me?" Paruko asked.
"But you know what, Parukins?"
"P-Parukins?!" Paruko asked.
"Ever since I came to this island, you haven't commentated on any of my Buddyfights! I'm not the center of attention at all!" Ageha complained.
"Well, I don't think that's true..." Paruko said.
"But I noticed something! Parukins, you always make sure to cover Mister Tasuku's Buddyfights 100%! In other words! If I fight Mister Tasuku... I'll be 100% in spotlight!" Ageha explained her plan as she takes her selfie.
"Uh oh! Ageha might be a genius!" Aettir said.
"Really?" Kuguru asked as she sweatdropped.
"That's her reason for challenging Tasuku?" Baku asked as he sweatdropped.
"Just so she would get her spot of attention because of Tasuku?" Haruka asked as she sweatdropped.
"Come on, you're being a drag! Let's get hyped up!" Ageha takes a photo shot on Paruko as she posed with a peace sign. But then Paruko got embarrassed.
"W-Well then, will both parties please Luminize?" Paruko requested.
"Tasuku!" Jack said.
"We have no choice. Let's focus on the fight for now, Jack." Tasuku said as Jack nodded in agreement, "Shine forth! Future dragons clad in stars! Luminize, Cross Dragoner!"
"With a baptism from the divine elites! All of your sins will be forgiven! Just kidding. Luminize! Hype-Hyper Paradise!" Ageha luminized her Azure Core Deck into her Core Gadget.
"Buddy... Fight!"
"Raise the Flag!"
"Star Dragon World!"
"Divine Guardians!" Her flag is a hexagon shape with bright divine colors, purple loop above, bright wings around and a symbol in the center.
"So hyped!" Aettir said.
(T: 10/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/None)
(A: 10/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/None)
"I'll tell you something for free. Divine Guardians is a super-hype flag that begins with 1 gauge, and lets me start the fight with 12 life points!" Ageha explained as she gains a gauge and increased her life by 2.
"Divine Guardians is the new flag that everyone's talking about! The player can use all Guardians attribute cards regardless of their original world, B!" Ozon B said as he broke off as the cat came out, wearing a angel outfit and flies.
"What a pretty flag." Haruka said.
"But I never expected her to use the Divine Guardians flag." Kuguru said.
"If the flag's as powerful as they say, he's going to have a tough time." Baku said.
"Well then, here I go, Mister Mackadocious GQ! Charge and Draw! I set Gate of Pardon, -Forgiven-." Ageha set a spell, "And I activate its ability! I return one card from my hand to the bottom of my deck. And I Buddycall Eternal Envoy, Aettir from my deck to the center!" She Buddycalled. Her Buddy jumps as she transforms to her true form, "Neodragon and Guardians attributes. Size 2, 4000 power, 6000 defense, and a critical of 2!" Her Buddy grew big as it was dragon serpent, with wings on its back and small wings on its head, her tail is long and has white and purple patterns with linings on, the purple colors are striding in flow.
"I'm all hyped up!" Aettir said.
"I gain 1 life due to Buddy Gift!" Ageha said as she regained one life, "Aettir! Do your thing!" She ordered her Buddy to attack.
"Leave it to me!" She said as she attacks, "I'll squeeze you tight! Aettir Breaker!" She wraps around Tasuku, inflicting 2 damage.
"And her turn ends here! Ageha Gokuraku's life has increased up to an amazing 13 points!" Paruko announced.
"What an annoyance." Jack said.
"I'll finish this quickly. My turn! Draw! Charge and Draw! I pay 1 gauge and Buddycall Star Dragoner, Jackknife to the right!" Tasuku Buddycalled as he regained one life.
"Right!" Jack jumps as he transforms to his true form.
"Master Tasuku goes for a Buddycall as well!" Paruko announced.
"I activate Jack's ability. I check the top 3 cards in my deck. I place Dragonarms, Elgar Cannon in Jack's soul!" Tasuku drew 3 cards as he placed the card into Jack's core and crossnized, "Croosnize!"
"Power and critical have increased!" Paruko announced.
"I call Rainbow Vision, Shadowscare to the left! And I pay 1 gauge and 1 life to equip!" He paid 1 gauge and 1 life to equip, "Star Magnum! Dragnapulse!" He equipped a magnum that is the same design as Twin Star, Jack and Fang.
"Whoa! Looks like Master Tasuku has a new item!" Paruko announced.
"Shadowscare! Attack Aettir!" Tasuku said as Shadowscare runs to attack as it used its nails to slash at Aettir and destroy her.
"That hurts! I'm going home!" But instead of sending it to the Drop Zone, it turns back into a card and returns.
"What?!" Tasuku was surprised.
"When Aettir is attacked, she can return to my hand cards using her ability!" Ageha explained.
"That means she can call Aettir again!" Jack said.
"But the center position's open now! Jack! Attack the fighter!" Tasuku recommended.
"Right!" Jack flies up to attack, "With a critical of 4! Elgar Shoot!" He shoots to attack.
"Cast! Heavens Shield! The shield of sanctuary!" She cast as an angelic shield to protect herself from the attack.
"Ageha Gokuraku blocks the attack and increase her life again!" Paruko announced as Ageha regains one life again.
"I'm the final attacker!" Tasuku jumps up to attack, "Dragnapulse, shoot!" He blasted his attack as it hits Ageha.
"Eek!" She was hit as she was inflicted with 2 damage.
"Every time Dragnapulse deals damage, it increases my gauge by 1." Tasuku said as he gains a gauge, "My turn is over."
"Ageha Gokuraku uses her Buddy Aettir as a steel wall of defense, B!" Ozon B said.
"I can't believe that even Tasuku's attack can't take down her life points." Kuguru said.
"His attacks can only make a scratch at her!" Haruka said.
"It looks like this is going to be a long battle." Baku said as Gao clenched his fist.
"Baku. Kuguru. Haruka. I'm sorry, but I need you guys to wait for Senior Tasuku and Teacher Daisuke here." Gao recommended.
"Huh?" Haruka was confused.
"What are you going to do?" Kuguru asked.
"I'm gonna look for Bal." Gao said.
"There's no point in just blindly searching for him!" Baku said.
"Just wait for them, Gao! We need their help!" Haruka said but Gao didn't listen as he ran off to find Bal.
"Gao! Wait! Gao!" Baku yelled.
"Well, it's my turn now! here I go! Mister Mackadocious! Draw! Charge and Draw! I pay 1 gauge and call to the right! Deity Dragon Envoy, Muriel! And I call Aettir to the left once more!" She calls her Buddy again and a woman with long blonde hair tied to a braid, wearing an armor, with a helmet to cover her face, her suit is blue and has wings and she carries a sword, "Cast! Ultimate Buddy!" She cast as it gave Aettir a boost.
"Oh my! I'm getting really hyped up!" Aettir said.
"I'm gonna show that naive Mackadocious GQ how grown-ups play! Equip!" She equips her item, "Nirvana Sword, Heavens Marius!" She equips a silver violin, "And I activate Forgiven's other ability! I return 2 cards from the Drop Zone to my deck, and..." She returned cards as she regained one life, "I regain 1 life!"
"Once again, Ageha Gokuraku increase her life points!" Paruko announced.
"Muriel! Take care of the left!" Ageha have Muriel to attack as she slashed at Shadowscare and destroyed it.
"Muriel destroys Shadowscare on the left!" Paruko announced.
"When Muriel destroys an enemy... I gain 1 life!" Ageha regains one life again, "And if I don't have any cards in the Drop Zone, she gains Double Attack!" Muriel attacks Tasuku, inflicting 1 damage, "Aettir!"
"I'm gonna squeeze you again!" Aettir wrapped Tasuku tightly as she inflicted 2 damage at him.
"And I'm your final opponent!" Ageha's Maruis transforms as it extended, "Jump!" She jumps to attack, "Take this, Mister Mackadocious!"
"I cast! Earth Barrier!" Tasuku cast as he regained one life.
"And now my turn is over." Ageha declared.
"Master Tasuku shows off his stuff by surviving attack using a counterspell!" Paruko announced, "But Ageha Gokuraku has 14 life left! He just seem to bring her down!"
At the beach, Gao was running to find Bal...
"Bal!" Gao yelled, "Bal! Answer if you can hear me! Bal!" He then tripped as he fell to the sand. He struggles to get up as he won't give up.
"Gao?" Gao saw it was Tsubaki and his sister, Tsubasa.
"What's going on?" Tsubasa asked.
"I'm looking for Bal. Did you see?" Gao asked as the twins looked at each other and shook their heads at him, "Can you guys help me find him? I can't continue on like this!"
"Don't worry about it, Gao!" Tsubaki boasted, "We will find your Buddy! But you better help us find Doctor Kakeru too!" He recommended a condition.
"Huh? You mean he's not with you?" Gao asked.
"No. We went to check on him, but he wasn't at the infirmary, we were getting worry so we went to find him."
"Kakeru..." Gao said.
"Well, wherever he is, I'm sure he has some good business as a doctor!" Tsubaki said.
At another island, a submarine appears as Doctor Gara came out.
"That'll teach him." He said.
"Yeah. Even if he cuts the power from the lab, he won't stop you, boss!" Kiyotaka said.
"And thanks to the data you got, I know that Gaen Financial Group has laboratories off the island, too!" Gara said as he carries Bal's egg, "Now it's just the three of us, I hope we get along well... Little Bal." He said to Bal as inside the egg, he was getting nervous.
"Gao..."
Ageha Gokuraku uses Aettir as a shield, settling into a defensive wall formation!" Paruko announced.
"Shadowscare! Attack the center!" Tasuku said as Shadowscare attacks Aettir.
"That hurts!" She yells as she was destroyed.
"Aettir is destroyed! However!" Paruko announced as Aettir has been revived due to Soulguard.
"Thanks to a spell card in my soul, I revive due to Soulguard!" Aettir said.
"Then I'll be your opponent!" Jack said as he comes to attack and released his blade, "Here I come, Aettir!" He slashed her.
"Bleh!" But then his attack failed all of the sudden, "I'm not gonna fight a jerk like you!" She complained as she returns to Ageha's hand.
"This time, Aettir's own ability returns her to Ageha's hand cards!" Paruko announced.
"I've still got my attack left!" Tasuku said as he jumps to attack, "Dragnapulse... "
"Too bad for you, it's not gonna go down that way." Ageha said as she had a spell card in her hand, "Cast! Deity of Law. I move Muriel from the right to the center!" She cast as she moved Muriel to the center, "Sorry, Muriel!"
"I wish you luck in battle! Lady Ageha!" Muriel said as Tasuku shoots at Muriel and destroys her.
"Tasuku destroys Muriel, who takes the attack meant for Ageha!" Paruko announced, "U-U-Unbelievable! Master Tasuku is unable to bring down Ageha's life points this turn, either!"
"My turn is over." Tasuku declared.
"Oh yes, this is a spectacular iron wall of defense, B. Even the great Tasuku Ryuenji seems destined for doom." Ozon b said as he expected it but the cat came out as it was mad and carried the dynamite as it jumps out and throws the dynamite while flying off.
"Meow!"
"Did she just put something in here?" Ozon B asked as he blew up.
"I think it's about time to wrap things up." Ageha said as she Draw and Charge and Draw, "I activate Forgiven's ability. Now Mister Mackadocious has no chance of winning." She regains one life.
"She's done it again! Just how much is Ageha Gokuraku going to increase her life points?!" Paruko announced.
"And I return one of my hand cards to my deck to call a Guardians monster! It's really too bad, but..." She paid 2 gauge, "It's bedtime for little kids." Magic circles appears, "So I'll end this now, just for you. Guardian Deity Dragon of Paradise, Avalon!" She brings a huge light dragon like a deity dragon with golden armor and 4 wings with a huge ring on the back with magic circle, carrying light swords.
"Wh-Wh-What's with this divine-looking monster?!" Paruko announced.
"Avalon has 8000 power and defense, and a critical of 1. But if there are 5 or fewer cards in the Drop Zone, his critical increases by 1. And if there are no cards, he gains another critical!" Ageha explained, "In other words, Avalon currently has a critical of 3!" It surprised Tasuku, "Looks like this is the end for you. Now, Avalon! Attack Mister Mackadocious!" She said as Avalon makes his attack as he sends his light ray attacks.
"Avalon's attack hits hard! Master Tasuku is down to 3 life remaining!" Paruko announced as Tasuku takes 3 damage.
"This is bad!" Baku said.
"How come?" Haruka aksed.
"Avalon has Double Attack!"
"What?!" Haruka was surprised.
"Is Tasuku really going to..." Kuguru assumed.
"This will finish you off!" Ageha said, "Avalon's Double Attack!" Avalon sends another attack.
"This is unbelievable! Master Tasuku is going to hit zero life points!" Paruko announced as Tasuku takes 3 damage. Ageha laughed.
"Super-victory for Ageha! Aren't I amazing?! Totally amazing?!" Ageha asked as she boasted and laughed.
"Cast!" Tasuku cast.
"Huh?" Ageha noticed.
"Jackknife Linker! I'm counting on you, Jack!" He cast as he sends it to Jack as he takes it, "During this attack phase, my life points will not become zero!" Tasuku regains back to 1. Then Ageha slashed at Shadowscare and destroys him.
"How boring. I'd thought I won." Ageha said as she became disappointed, "Oh well! My turn is over."
"Jackknife Linker can only be used once per Buddyfight, B!" Ozon B explained, "The difference between the two players' life points is overwhelming! 15 to 1!"
"It's okay if you want to give up, little Tasuku. I don't want to see Mackadocious GQ like you look like a total loser." Ageha advised as her Buddy came out.
"Oh my! Aggie-kins, you're super sweet!" Aettir complimented.
"Buddyfight is a game that you win by taking all of the opponent's life points." Tasuku explained, "No matter how big a gap there may be, there's no reason to give up if you still have life points!"
"Huh?" Ageha is confused.
"Here I come. It's my turn! Draw! Charge... And... Draw!"
"What a powerful Charge and Draw by Master Tasuku!" Paruko announced.
"Oh wow, he looks super cool! But it won't do him any good." Ageha said as she and her Buddy sees how cool Tasuku is.
"I call J Igniter to the left! Crossnize!" Tasuku calls out as Igniter crossnized with Jack.
"Ignite Blade!"
"And I call to the left, Dragonarms, Emergency! Attack the fighter!" Emergency attacks the fighter by charging at her, inflicting 2 damage.
"How mean!" Ageha yelled.
"Jack, attack as well!"
"Right!" Jack said as he flies up to attack, "With a critical of 5! Ignite Blade!" He strikes at her, inflicting 5 damage.
"Dragnapulse!" He shoots at her as she was inflicted with 1 damage.
"Eek!"
"My gauge increases by 1 due to Dragnapulse's effect." Tasuku said as he gains a gauge.
"Looks like you weren't able to draw you Impact Monster. Isn't this crazy?!" Ageha asked happily, "Am I really going to beat Master Mackadocious?!"
"Yeah!" Aettir said.
"Really?! For realsie?! The center of attention?! Isn't this crazy?!"
"Dragnapulse's effect! When this battle ends, I can draw one more card by discarding one of my hand cards!" Tasuku explained.
"Oh, look at you struggling until the very end."
"This draw will be his last chance." Baku predicted.
"If he doesn't draw what he needs, it's all over for him." Haruka said.
"There's no card in the world that could wipe out 6 life at once, B." Ozon B said while the cat carries a sign flag, 'Tasuku is life!'
"Meow!" The cat got mad as she swings her flag and knocked Ozon B's knee.
"Ouch!"
"I'm going to draw it, for sure! The card that Bal gave us! So that I can save Bal as soon as possible!" Tasuku said as he depends on his draw, "Draw! All right!" He got his draw.
"It can't be!" Ageha was surprised as she knows what's in his hand.
"Final Phase!" Both declared.
"He really drew it?!" Ozon B asked as his eye popped out.
"Meow meow!" The cat swings her flag.
"Impact Call! I pay 3 gauge and transform Jackknife... Into an Impact Monster!" He pays 3 gauge and activates it, "Jack is now a size 2 monster with 10000 power, 5000 defense, and a critical of 3. Due to his effect, he crossnizes with Jackarms J Galaxion in the Drop Zone. And by crossnizing with J Igniter, Elgar Cannon, and Galaxion, his current critical is 6!" Jack detached his wings as a giant blade appears behind him. He equips it with a helmet and the plugs attached to it and the engines attached as well. The balde is similar to Radiant Punisher but mechanical, "The damage from this card cannot be reduced, and the attack cannot be nullified!"
"What did you say?!" Ageha asked as she was surprised.
"Full Burst!" Tasuku said as Jack raised his blade.
"Galactical... Punisher!" He sends it down as it hits Ageha, inflicting 6 damage.
"Too hype! Too much! Out of this world!" She has lost the match.
(G: 1/ Item: Dragnapulse/ G: 0: None/None/Jack)
(A: 0/ Item: Marius/ G: 2: None/None/None)
"Game End! Winner: Tasuku Ryuenji!" Paruko declared, "Using his new Impact Monster, he overturned a 15 to 1 lead! And at this very moment, he's achieved 10 wins! He's the first Japan Representative!"
"As usual, the defeated player will be fired!" Paruko announced as the UFO Stage is set and blasted Ageha out, "Fire!"
"Aggie-kins, we lost." Aettir said as Ageha was disappointed.
"But we really stood out, so I guess it's okay." Ageha said as she takes selfies.
"That's true!"
Then Tasuku landed.
"Let's hurry and contact Daisuke so we can join Gao." Jack said.
"Right." Tasuku said but then his Impact Card, the Galactical Punisher came out as it started glowing, "The card we got from Bal..."
At the island, something glowed as the pillar of light rises to the sky.
"What's going on, boss?!" Kiyotaka asked as they saw the egg glowing.
"I don't know the heck is this?! Is this guy got even more secrets that we don't know about?!" Gara asked.
"Bal?" Bal noticed the light.
Back at the island, the light was shown as it was near the hotel.
"Look at that light!" Haruka said as they all seeing this.
"Wh-What's that?!" Baku asked.
At the forest side...
"Dear Grandmother, what is that?!" Tenka asked as he sees the pillar of light.
"There's not mistaking it. That's the Dragon Force." Sayuri said after recognizing the light, "A fragment of the messenger of light's soul!"
Above the hills, Daisuke and Ryuuga saw the light...
"What's that over there?" Ryuuga asked as Daisuke thinks.
'That pillar of light must've shown a new power. I wonder who got it.' Daisuke thinsk.
At the other side of the forest, Gaito and Abygale saw the pillar of light...
"I-It- can't be. Impossible!" Gaito said as he was surprised of seeing the light, "Has someone released the Dragon Force ahead of me?!"
Tasuku was engulfed in the pillar of light that looks like light blue color.
"Th-This is..."
"Tasuku! Look!" Jack said as Tasuku lloks at himself and Jack glows too.
"What in the world is happening?"
At the building where Kyoya is at...
"You can feel it, can't you? It's finally appeared, Azi Dahaka. That's unmistakably the sign of Dragon Force. Who would have expected Tasuku Ryuenji to be the vessel for Balle du Soleil's soul?" Kyoya asked, "I can't wait for the World Championship. And Sakaki Chi will take care of his business over at Cho-Taiyo Island. I can tell that he's already there."
Back at the beach, Gao and the twins are sitting on the beach after they give up on finding Kakeru or Bal...
"We couldn't do anything..." Tsubasa said.
"Oh! Where could Doctor Kakeru be?!" Tsubaki asked.
"Bal I'm sorry." Gao said, "I should have kept a better eye on you..."
"No, don't blame yourself!" Tsubasa said, "It's our fault for not helping out!"
"Yeah! We couldn't do anything as well. So we take the blame too!" Tsubaki said.
"Tsubasa... Tsubaki..."
"Gao! I'm sorry I'm late." Tasuku said as he came.
"Senior Tasuku. Jack." Gao said as the twins were surprised.
"Hey, look!" Tsubaki said.
"It's Tasuku, the boy wonder!" Tsubasa said as they ran to him.
"We're your biggest fans!" They said with their eyes sparkled.
Tasuku chuckled, "Good to see that there are fans here. And don't worry, Gao. Bal is alive."
"What?!" Gao is surprised as Tasuku pull out his card.
"I could sense Bal's presences through this card."
"So could I." Jack said, "That's how we found out that Bal is probably not on this island."
"Then where is Bal?" Gao asked.
"We'll search for Bal. We'll contact Daisuke to see if he can bring something to help us find Bal somewhere. Gao, please head back to the tournament and take the twins with you." Tasuku recommended. Gao was about to say something as Tasuku pulls out something from his pocket.
"Th-That's..." Gao saw the Buddy Police badge on Tasuku's wallet.
"We're sorry to keep this secret from you. We're still the Buddy Police Officers. Please, trust me and Jack, including Daisuke and Ryuuga. We'll find Bal, no matter what it takes! So please, Gao, do what you can for Bal."
"What can I do for Bal?" Gao asked as he thinks, "I understand, Senior Tasuku. Bal and I wnat to become Buddy Champions. I'll keep Buddyfighting until Bal returns. Please take care of Bal for me, Senior Tasuku! And tell Teacher Daisuke- uh I mean, Daisuke about this." He extended his hand out.
"Of course!" Tasuku takes Gao's hand, "Thank you, Gao."
At the forest, Daisuke received the call from Tasuku about everything.
"All right. I'll find something to find Bal, please wait at the beach until I get it. Oh, and Tasuku... Tell Gao, I'm sorry that I won't become his teacher anymore. Thanks..." He ended the call.
"You sure it's okay?" Ryuuga asked.
"Being the Buddy Police is like my life's purpose. There's no hope for me to go back. And besides, we do have a mission after all."
"That's true."
"Come on, we need to find a transportation." Daisuke said.
"Right!" They head off. But then behind the tree, Sakaki was hiding as he noticed Daisuek and Ryuuga.
"So there they are. The original Masked Dragon and his Buddy Monster, Ryuuga." He snickered, "Lucky me. It's time for me to settle this match between him and me. And once I do, he'll know that the legacy will continue on... forever."
At night, Gaito slammed his fist at the tree.
"Unbelievable! It's not possible. This can't be destiny. The Dragon Force is..." Gaito said as Minako and Abygale looked at each other, "The Dragon Force should be... My power!"
"Gaito..." Minako wanted to help him but Abygale stopped her as he shook his head.
