Chapter 36: Sengoku Playbacks
Sunset at the Mt. Fuji, a piano was playing as Rouga was going to complain, "Why do you interfere?! Do you know how long I've been waiting for the chance to defeat Ryuenji and reclaim my honor?!"
"There's no guaranteed you win. It was a risk." Kyoya explained.
"Enough mind games! You know I was ready!" Rouga said as he recalled the time when he was training at the arena.
"We've been training for weeks in real world conditions in Az Dahaka's Battle Arena!" Bahamut attacks Rouga with his laser barrage.
"Battle Aura Circle!" Rouga cast a countspell but Bahamut swings his tail and attacked Rouga.
"Rouga!" Cerberus flies as he attacked Bahamut but Bahamut evaded the attack and they clashed their attacks together.
"Cerberus!" Rouga yelled out as Cerberus get dropped down to the ground as he was defeated. Bahamut then charges his beam cannon as it was getting ready to attack, "This is not over."
"Not yet." Cerberus said as he stands up.
"I thought you were destroyed." Rouga said as Cerberus began to roar as he transform, "Whoa. I didn't think that was possible." Rouga saw Cerberus's new form known as Cerberus 'A', "You're like Cerberus 'A'." Cerberus roars as Bahamut fired his beam as Rouga prepared his own move, "Demonic Equip Combination! Demonic Spear, Swirling Darkness!" Cerberus combined with the spear, "Recharge!" With his combined attack, they pierced Bahamut with his swirling attack defeated Bahamut.
"We're stronger than we first fought him." Rouga said as he held his spear up.
"If that's true, then what's that satisfication you gain for a rematch?" Kyoya asked.
"What do you mean?"
"Don't you know? Ryuenji's not in position to use the Future Force anymore. And someone else is able to use it." Kyoya explained.
"Don't tell me, you were behind it!"
"Maybe I was, maybe I wasn't." He said as he played a tune in the piano.
At night, near the bus station...
"Thank you for bringing the kids back safely." Takashi thanked.
"No problem. Take care of yourselves." Takihara said.
"Hey, Tasuku, what happen back there, man?" Gao asked as Tasuku snapped out of himself, "If there's anything I can do to help, just say the word!" Gao offered as Tasuku makes a decision.
"Tasuku's been working really hard lately. He's probably just a little tired. But I'm afraid he's not the only one like this." Takihara said as he looked at Haruka, who is in a depressing mood.
"Yeah. I know..." Gao nodded as he remembered what happened with Daisuke.
Back at the Sengoku, after Rouga left.
"Great, he got away." Takihara said.
"Doesn't matter. He's not worth now." Daisuke said.
"Oh? And you say that to yourself."
"What are you talking about?" Daisuke asked.
"The jig is up! You're under arrested for stealing Buddy monsters, Masked Dragon!" Takihara said the charges as everyone was confused.
"Huh, what's he talking about?" Baku asked.
"Our teacher's not the Masked Dragon, he was with us." Kuguru said.
"That's not what I think." Tasuku said as he came down to them, "I found a file with a Buddy Police info that somehow unknown. The name and the Buddy monster were erased, including the photo of itself. But I do found that the former member of the Buddy Police resigned himself because of some circumstances."
"And what does that have to do with me?" Daisuke asked, "There's no evidence that I'm Masked Dragon."
"I don't. But I know that the access of the Future Force."
"Huh?"
"Now that you mention it, the Future Force can only be access to the Buddy Police. But Masked Dragon somehow activated it and he's not the member of the Buddy Police. Unless of course..." Zanya said as he tipped his glasses.
"Yes. The one who can access it is Masked Dragon also known as the former member of the Buddy Police, Daisuke Masamune." Tasuku deducted his theory.
"Teach, is that true?" Gao asked.
"Big brother?" Haruka asked.
"Say it isn't so, yo!" Tetsuya said as everyone looked at him as he snickered and began to laugh.
"So you managed to figure it out. Not bad for the Boy Detective." Daisuke said.
"Why...? Why would you do something like this? Stealing Buddies? Hunting down criminals?" Tasuku asked.
"I warned you, didn't I?" Daisuke recalled as Tasuku was confused.
"I told you, if you join the Buddy Police, you would be ashamed of the consequence. And that's what's happening to you." He pointed at Tasuku as he know what happened to him.
"Enough of this! You're coming with us!" Takihara said.
"Oh, I don't think so. Ryuuga!" He called out his Buddy as he appeared out of the deck.
"Wait, isn't that... Ryu?" Drum recognized him.
"Hello, Drum. My name is not Ryu, it's Dragonic Fighter, Ryuuga."
"Wasn't he the Masked Fighter, Ryu?" Baku recalled.
"He must've changed his appearance just like Drum." Kuguru explained.
Buddy Skill On
He equipped his Buddy Skill as he begins to fly away, "And I would've have my chance to defeat Rouga and take his Buddy away. But you had go and get in my way. So, the next time we meet, I'll be taking Jackknife away." Daisuke swore as he looked at Gao, "And I will take Drum away as well. Remember that." He turned as he starts to leave.
"Hey, wait!" Gao yelled as Daisuke was about to activated his Future Force.
"Activate Future Force!"
Error. Access Denied
"What?! Denied?! How...?!"
"You didn't think you let use it again, right? We finally managed to disabled your access to Future Force so you won't use it again." Tasuku said.
Daisuke growled, "Then I'll go with Plan D!" He took out a Dark Core from his pocket as he placed his deck in it.
"Is that...!?" Kiri recognized it.
"No! Stop!" Tasuku warned as Daisuke raised the Dark Core up as it gave him power.
"Take this! Fist of the Thousand Dragons!" Ryuuga was sent into the Core Gadget as he threw his fist and the spirits of dragons came out and spread its attack around them, as the smoke clears, Daisuke with his Buddy, Ryuuga are gone.
"They're gone." Baku said. Haruka looked as she began to cry.
"Big brother!"
"I can't believe that Teach would actually betray us and he was actually criminal fighter!" Gao said.
"Gao..." Kuguru said as she shook her head and tried to comforted Haruka.
"It's okay, Gao. There must be a reason why he's doing this. But when he warned me about the Buddy Police, there must be a reason why." Tasuku said, "For now, you guys better take her back to her mother, where she can be safe."
"You got it!" Gao said with his thumb up as Takihara take Tasuku to the Buddy Police Van.
"Stay in school!" Takihara said as they left home.
"Hey..." Haruka said.
"What is it, Haruka?" Kuguru asked.
"Take me back to the apartment, I left my stuff there." She recommended.
"But you don't have the key." Gao said.
"She got the spare key from her brother just in case something happens. Don't worry, Haruka. I'll come along with you if you want." Kuguru offered.
"No, I'll take her there." Takashi offered, "You kids head home, I'll take care of her."
"Okay, dad!" Gao said as they headed home.
At the Mikado residence...
"Boy, I wish I could've seen Gao and the others, fighting against those students from Sengoku Academy." Kiri said.
"If you really want to see, Takosuke recorded it all." Paruko recommended as Takosuke agreed.
"Thanks! I love to!" Kiri said.
"Me too! Me too!" Hanako was excited.
"We can give you the play-by-play." Gao recommended.
"I've prepare to comment and I'll be bringing the videos to Haruka, so she'll see it too." Kuguru said as everybody's mood becoming a bit depressing.
"Will she be alright? After what happen..." Kiri said.
"We already told her mother everything, she was upset for Daisuke to leave his sister and betray us." Baku said, "But I never thought our teacher was a criminal this whole time."
"No way." Gao denied it, "There must be a reason why he's doing this."
"How can you be sure, yo?" Tetsuya asked.
"Think about it. Daisuke didn't steal Drum when he arrived and at the cruise, he didn't steal Axia. Doesn't that seem strange?"
"Now that you mention. He didn't steal our buddies. I suppose he does have a reason. But whatever it is, it's something to do with the Buddy Police." Zanya said.
Daisuke was at the mountains as he tracked down Rouga.
"There it is. This is where he's at." Daisuke said as he looked at the tracker.
"Daisuke." Ryuuga said as he came out of the deck, "Do you think it's a mistake to show your identify?"
"It had to be done either way. And besides, since we have this." He pulled out the Dark Core, "I have a plan with this."
"You mean-?"
Daisuke nodded, "Yeah, this will be the solution to grow your powers stronger. Let's head over later. It's time for someone to help us." He said as he heads off home.
Back at the Mikado Residence. Drum was smelling something familiar.
"Hey! That smell!"
"You mean your stinky feet?" Axia said as he smell it as well. Tsukikage smell it too as he said, 'Nin.'
"Grandma's cooking. Ah, that chain off the human food. Let's eat!" Asmodai said as Takosuke agreed so excitedly.
"I think he's hungry too." Paruko said.
"Actually I'm quite peckish." Blade said as he sweatdropped.
Gao smelled it too, "That's weird, I smell perfume." He recognized another scent as the lights are turned off as the spotlight shown on the curtains as it slides open to reveal Suzuha laughing.
"What do you think of it, Gao? To sure my appreciation for all you accomplish at Sengoku, I've arranged for some surprise. Ta-da!" Suzuha shown the Octopus Dumpling stand as it amazed everyone.
"I had some of the tastiest ingredients from all over the world loaned in my daddy's private jet. And Gao's grandma agreed to cook up all your favorites, it's the least I can do, after defeating those barbarians from SenCad. Do you think of me in a mysterious mountains, Gao?" Suzuha asked as everyone eats the Octopus Dumplings as she was being ignored, "Huh? Listen to me when I'm talking to you!"
"Hey, thanks, Suzuha! This is awesome!" Gao talks with his mouth full as Baku and Kuguru shrugged their arms at him as Gao told them about what happened to the Sky Home.
"What?!" Sebastian and the two maids are very shocked.
"The Sky Home is where?"
"Laying in pieces somewhere at the Cho-Hokuen mountains. Sorry about that." Gao apologized as Sebastian and the two fainted, "It was an accident, honest." He bowed as those three growled in anger.
"Don't worry about it." Suzuha forgive him.
"But, milady, what are you saying?" Sebastian asked.
"You're not mad?" The green maid said.
"Even a little?" The red maid said.
"No, it's not even a big deal, guys. The Sky Home is just one of the many places I own around the world." Suzuha explained as she took a bite of the Octopus Dumpling. Everyone enjoys themselves as Sebastian and the two maids laughed sarcastically.
Back inside, Paruko set up the recordings of the match on TV.
"Take a seat, the show's about to start! Prepare yourselves for the highlights of the exciting action for Aibo's recent Buddyfight challenges against the notorious Sengoku Academy!" Paruko said as Takosuke agreed and the screen shows the title, 'Sengoku Academy! Buddy Fight Interscholastic Combat', "First, some backstory, things will get started when yuors truly witnessed former Aibo student, Rouga Aragami swooped down and take our friend Kiri Hyoryu away against his will."
"What? But it wasn't against my will." Kiri said as everyone was surprised.
"Are you serious?!" Gao asked.
"Paruko had us worried over nothing?!" Drum asked as they all stared at Paruko for her misunderstanding.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. So, you're saying I'm missed the 'Demons who think they can dance Marathon' for nothing?" Asmodai said as Paruko blushed in embarrassment.
"No biggie! Come on! Let's watch the video!" Gao said as the clip started for Rouga against Tetsuya.
"I equip Demonic Spear, Swirling Darkness!" Rouga equipped himself with a purple and black spear with a drill-like tip and coated with an aura of darkness.
"In the first match, Tets's tried to pull off a One Turn Win against Rouga. Would've been too harsh to say 'epic fail'." Asmodai said as he recalled about Tets's OTK plan but failed.
"Ya-ho! What's the dealio, A-dog?! Why'd you gotta be calling me out of my peeps all the time?!" Tetsuya complained.
"I cast Solomon Shield!" The golden shield was formed between Beleth and Rouga, stopping the attack.
"You're a fool! I cast! Your spell's disappeared, let me introduce Fang Dragon Declaration!" Rouga cast as the shield disappeared, allowing the Drill Bunker to pierce through Beleth.
"But I was having so much fun!" Beleth yelled as he was destroyed,
"Swirling Darkness penetrate Beleth!" Paruko announced as Tetsuya was struck with the attack as all of his life points have been eliminated. The students were amazed by the power of the attack.
"The second fights was even crazier." Asmodai said as the next clip shows the match between Genma against Kemura.
"The Dragon Lords are met as power that cannot be underestimated! Only the brave dare to challenge him!" Genma raised his arms as his eyes gleamed with golden fury.
"Genma was there too? Boy, I would to see him fight in person." Kiri said.
"Well lucky for us, he was just hanging around when our blimp crashed." Drum said.
"Genma battled one of the Four Demon Generals, most powerful fighters of Sengoku. This guys was a little different, bro. He was a Legend World fighter." Baku explains.
"We found out that Genma already met him when he was training in the mountains." Kuguru explains as well as Sieger thrashed Wawel Drache to pieces.
"Kemura's was a totally hyped frog. But it wasn't cool when he used the Hate card, Dragon Vanquishing Sword, Balmung to defeat Genma." Tetsuya explains.
"Isn't that like the counter balance that targets the certain opponent?" Kiri said.
"They're not against the rules, but they're not honorable either." Zanya said as the clip ended with Genma's defeat.
"Allow me to review the third fight starting with lovely Kazane." Blade said as the next clip of the match begins, however...
"Wait! Before we do that, let me show you something that I found during Kazane's next match begins." Paruko said as she showed the clip of the certain someone at the different Buddyfight stage.
"I Buddy Call to the right, Dragonic Fighter, Ryuuga!" He called out his buddy as Ryuuga jumps to the right position and gain 1 life due to the Buddy Gift.
"Hey, isn't that...?" Gao recognized.
"While Takosuke was recording the match, someone gave me the recording of the match between Daisuke and his opponent must've been someone from Sengoku." Paruko said.
"Then that must be Daisuke's real deck when he was the Masked Dragon." Kuguru said.
"From the looks of his opponent, it's a girl, yo." Tetsuya said as he noticed Sakuya.
"That's strange. There wasn't a girl we saw back at Sengoku, all we saw what Shosetsu and Saotome when we came." Kuguru said.
"Maybe Saotome is actually Sakuya." Drum said.
"You mean he's a she?!" Zanya asked.
"But why would she hide her identify?" Gao asked.
"Who knows? But at least we know his strategies this time. The impact card he use is really powerful, so we need to prepare ourselves for that time."
"So who in the end anyway?" Kiri asked.
"Actually, the match was a draw." Paruko said as she sweatdropped.
"Huh?!" Everyone asked.
"Look as you can see after the Daisuke's impact." Paruko explained as she showed the clip of the accident.
"Hm. How do you like that? I mean, if I haven't used my counterspell, who knows what'll happen to the platform here." Sakuya said as she heard the platform breaking.
"Huh?"
"Uh oh."
The platform breaks as Sakuya fell into the water.
"Sakuya!" Daisuke jumps into the water and managed to rescue her out of the water.
Everyone was flabbergasted for seeing that clip.
"Did that platform just broke down?" Akatsuki asked.
"It would seem it is." Zanya said.
"That impact must've damaged the platform so much, it broke into pieces." Baku explained.
"But that proves one thing." Gao said.
"What, Gao?" Drum asked.
"That Daisuke is actually a good person! He saved that girl and he didn't do anything bad to her."
"We don't know that for sure, Gao." Kuguru said.
"She has a point. Just because what we saw on the video is what he is. Doesn't mean that'll change who he is." Asmodai said.
"But..." Gao said, feeling down.
"Listen, we'll talk about this later, how about we continue with the clips for now?" Baku recommended.
"Of course!" Blade agreed, "Then let's continue on with Kazane!" The next clip shows Kazane vs Kemura.
"In the beginning, Kemura seemed to be making out for using the Hate card by trying to lose. But he's too hard to listen to reason and change his plan.
"I call to center, King of Forest, Zaltrog!" Kemura called out Zaltrog as it attacked Kazane, inflicting 2 damage.
"And in the end, he fought it out immediately."
End of Move
(K: 7/ Item: None/ G: 4: Gummy/None/Kirwa)
(K:9/ Item: None/ G: 4: None/Zaltrog/None)
"Huh?! What makes you think you know anything about my Kemura anyway?!" Sylph asked as Kemura grabbed his buddy with his tongue as he ate her again.
"The way that someone fights is a lot." Kazane replied as Kemura sniffed tears.
"And my big brother was in the fourth fight!" Akatsuki said as the next clip for the fourth match have shown.
"Equip! Five Heavenly Sword, Onimaru!" He equipped himself a Katana sword that is engulfed in its blade as he paid one gauge.
"There was a grudge between him and his opponent, Kanahebi. That I didn't even know about. He never tell me his secrets anymore." Akatsuki said.
"There really wasn't that big of a deal, Akatsuki. But he was a Kanahebi Style Ninja. An heir to an organization, our dad tried to put away." Zanya said as he push his glasses.
"The sweet smell of victory, Cherry Blossom Storm!" Gold launched his petal storm attack on all of Kanahebi's monsters as he slashed all of them.
"Five Heavenly Sword, Onimaru! Twisted Spirit Purification!" Zanya slashed Kanahebi with Onimaru and inflicted 3 damage as Kanahebi fell into the ground as the game ended.
"That's nothing. I'll give you the details in the best match yet." Drum said.
"I was wondering when I get to see Gao in action." Kiri said as the fifth match clip started.
"Raremaro Tefudanokimi, a 4 Demon General. He use Legend World too, but Gao had a big surprise for him." Drum said as the clip shows Drum in his wizard form.
"You used Magic World?! How'd you do that?!" Kiri asked.
"It's all thanks to Drum's training in other Worlds. I got to use my awesome new decks called Magic Guts!" Gao said.
"One of your decks?"
"Gao-wow was really amazing out there! You should've seen him! So inpiring!" Axia complimented him.
"Hey! I had something to do with it too, you know?!"
"Magician Drum's Mega Blast Bunker!" Drum then raised his drill scepter down as he launched the blast at Grendel as it was obliterated and attacked Raremaro.
"This is gonna hurt!"
"That was the first time, he used a Magic World deck?" Kiri asked.
"After that one, there was a majorly scary battle." Kazane said.
"The strength was incredible." Zanya added as the next clip started.
"The last of the 4 Demon Generals. His name is Shosetsu." Kazane said
"He's a Legend World user and his buddy's Immortal Sword, Durandal." Zanya said.
"He has an item for a buddy?" Kiri asked.
"That's right."
"Immortal Sword, Durandal!" He pull out the sword from his sheath.
"For the first time ever, I was actually afraid of Buddyfighting him." Kazane said.
Gawain attacked Kazane as she was dealt with 1 damage, thus ending the game.
At the next clip, show the match between Zanya vs Shosetsu.
He called out his buddy to the center another one but a red one version to the left as Zanya regained one life point, "Shiden!" He commanded as Shiden fights against Percival as Percival tried to strike Shiden with his spear, Shiden used his stealth to dodge the attacks and began to strike Percival down.
Shosetsu was about to attack Zanya until they are in space, "You've fallen right into my trap! I pay 3 gauge to activate Lethal Formation, Secret Sword, Shooting Star!" Zanya slashed the star as it was destroyed and shocked Shosetsu, inflicting him 3 damage.
Durandal didn't get destroyed as he remains in Shosetsu's hand, "It didn't break. It's true." Zanya admitted.
"It was one of my worst defeat." Zanya said as the clip shows Shosetsu attack Zanya and dealt him 1 damage as the game ended.
"Amazing! I can't believe how strong he is!" Kiri said, excitedly.
"Yeah. He tried to become stronger. Check it!" Gao said as the next clip of the match.
"It was really intense. At that time, I was using another new deck called 'Tempest Thunder Knights." Gao explained.
"Gao, are you actually flying?!" Kiri said, excitedly as he saw the clip of Gao using his first Buddy Skill.
"I know, right! Drum finally gave me his awesome Buddy Skill!"
"I cast Holy Grail!" He nullified the attack, "You're not so tough!"
"Oh man!" Gao yelled as the other clips shows Shosetsu going out of control.
"Check it out! He's really losing it." Drum said.
"What's happening?! There's no way I should be losing! I'm supposed to be improving myself!" He said as he touched this Buddy Core gadget, "It's time. Dark Core, give me all you have! I want unlimited power!" Gao prepared his stance for seeing what Shosetsu's doing.
"Is that what I think it is?" Kiri thinks as he recognized that power that Shosetsu was using at that time.
"Do as I say! I order you!" Shosetsu yelled out on the screen as everyone begin shocked for seeing the certain thing happening in the match. The clip shows Shosetsu being completely controlled by the Dark Core and wore the white half-mask.
"Immortal Sword, Durandal! Divine Protection, Prydwen!" He equipped two items at once.
"Hey! You can't equip two items at once!" Kiri complained.
"I know. He kinda trumped that rule when he made the power of his cards real.
Tsukikage makes his move with his blade as Shosetsu blocked it with his shield. Axia used his spear to attack Shosetsu but he blocked it. Asmodai used his double kicks as his attack was blocked off, Sybel used her sword to attack as her attack was blocked off too. Blade comes charging in with his attack.
"Enough of this!" Shosetsu yelled as he used Durandal to attack Blade as he was turned into a card. He used his attack on Tsukikage and Axia.
"I could use a hug!" Axia said as they turned into cards. Shosetsu attacked Asmodai and Sybel as he struck them down.
"It wasn't supposed to go down like this!" Asmodai yelled.
"Ah! I failed you, milady!" Sybel said as they both turned into cards.
"Oh, Tasuku made a power of his cards reals too?" Suzuha asked.
"Sure did!" Gao said.
"Look at him! Isn't he dreamy? He even looks good with his hair long." Suzuha asked as she looked Tasuku's Future Force as Gao laughed nervously.
"I don't know but thanks to him, I gotta do over with the real Shosetsu."
"I call to the right, Thunder Knights, Drum Bunker Dragon!" Gao called.
Drum's drill began to activate as he began to fly, "CRASH! DRILL RAM BUNKER!" He attacked Shosetsu, inflicting 2 damage as the game ended.
"And then it was down to just me and Rouga for one final battle to win it all." Gao said as another clip of the match starts.
"What?! A Dungeon World deck too?! How many do you have?!" Kiri asked, flabbergasted.
"This is the last one. But it's super awesome, man! And get this, it's called 'Brave Soleil'!" Gao said as he showed the example of the clip.
"Rock, Paper..."
"Come on, Rouga!" Gao said as he chose Paper.
"I don't want to!" Rouga complained as he chose rock randomly. As two hands collided, the rock hand was defeated.
"It was sweet. Even Rouga kinda seemed like he was loving it out there." Kazane said as she saw the clip of Rouga laughing of joy.
"I'll be the victor here!" Rouga said.
Kiri took out his deck as he looked and hold it tightly.
"What do you want me to do? It's the only monster that I have left." Gao shrugged.
"I can't wait to take a bite out of you!"
"Open your present!"
"Demon Blade Slash!" Rouga cast a counterspell as the blade destroyed Pandora as the bomb appeared again.
"Who would thought this would happen?" Both bombs came to either sides as they exploded, inflicting one damage each, "Both of them are at 0 life points!"
"I destroy Brave Equipment, Glory Seeker! I almost forgot about that!" Gao said as the armor's destroyed.
"You're kidding! Is an ability like that even possible?!" Rouga asked as Gao drew a card as he looked at it and smiled as he revealed the card.
"Check it out! I got Cecilia's Spell Disarm!" Gao said as he was revived with 3 life points.
(G: 03/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/Drum)
(R: 0/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/None)
Game Over. Winner: Gao Mikado
Rouga smiled.
"That's how Gao won the challenge for Aibo! And putting those ruffian Sengoku students in the loser circle where they belong!" Paruko announced as the video ended, "So what do you think there, eh, Kiri?" She asked as Kiri was distracted of looking of his deck.
"It reminded me of something I wanted to ask you, Gao." Kiri recommended.
"What is it?" Gao asked.
"I was wondering, would you Buddyfight me?" He requested.
"Sure. But why me exactly?"
"After watching you at SenCad, I need to know how I measure up against you." Kiri explained his reasons.
"I get it. Meet me at the dojo and we'll have a match."
"I have an idea, Gao-wow. Why not use your brand new deck that has me in it?" Axia recommended and himself.
"I guess."
"That okay with you, Kiri? If I use 'Magic Guts'?"
"Why not?" Kiri nodded as he stared down his deck, 'Gao's still pretty new to Magic World. So I should counter with the Danger World deck I build at SenCad. It might just be enough to beat me.' He thinks.
Back at the inside of the mountains...
Kyoya continues playing a piano, "Kiri Hyoryu, wasn't it? And why didn't you bring him to me like I asked?" He reminded Rouga his mission as he growled, "Don't tell me that you thought of having closer to Gao Mikado would be better for you?"
"You really believed I would think something like that?!" Rouga complained.
"I wouldn't be surprised." Rouga heard Sofia said as she came by, wearing a uniform with grey, red cape, yellow linings and light purple in the middle and each side of the waist, including a skirt, "Don't interfere, I will train him. That's what you said isn't it?" She recommend.
"I don't remember asking you to train him. Did I, Rouga?" Kyoya asked Rouga for his opinion as he growled in frustration.
"I see. You're up to your old trick, eh, Aragami?" Shido said, coming in with the same uniform but with no cape and pants, "Causing problems for Master Kyoya with your selfish ways. What a warm welcome. Be careful, your face might stay like that." Shido said as he laughed, "Sofia, how are you? Don't I make a great Student Council President impersonation?" He asked as Sofia ignored as Shido sweatdropped in embarrassment.
"Kyoya." They heard a voice as Azi Dahaka appeared near the organ on top.
"Well, well. Azi Dahaka." Kyoya expected.
"I thought you be interested in witnessing a rare spectacle." Azi Dahaka said as the screen shows Kiri battling against Gao at the dojo.
"Hey, that's Mikado. Is he about to fight against Kiri?" Rouga asked.
Back at the dojo.
"I call Armorknight Ogre to the right! And Armorknight Minotaur to the left position!" Kiri call out his two monsters. Everyone was seating down, watching the battle starting. Tetsuya came by as he sat down too.
"Hey, where's Asmodai?" Kazane asked as she noticed Asmodai wasn't with him.
"He had some errands to run, yo." Tetsuya replied.
"Armorknight Ogre, go attack the fighter!" Ogre smashed Gao with his club as he inflicted two damage at him, "Minotaur! Now it's your turn!"
"I cast! My Solomon Shield!" He cast a counterspell as the attack's nullified.
"Gao nullified Minotaur's attack. Wow, what a move!" Paruko complimented.
"I pay 2 gauge and use 2 life points to cast Fang Dragon Declaration!" Kiri used the spell that Rouga used at Sengoku as Gao's shield disappeared as Gao was attacked by Minotaur and was inflicted with 3 damage.
"He broke through Solomon Shield like it was nothing." Zanya commented.
"Now get ready for my Boulder Piercing Spear!" Kiri yelled out as he struck Gao, inflicting him 2 damage.
End of Move
(G: 3/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/None)
(K: 10/ Item: Boulder Piercing Spear/ G: 1: Ogre/None/Minotaur)
"Alright! Nice one!" Gao said as Kiri smiled for his move.
Back at the base of the hideout...
Everyone watches the match through the monitor.
"He cut Mikado down to just 3 life points on his first turn." The petal of roses appears as someone came by to them, it was a man with green stylish hair with a couple of rose on the right side of his hair, he wears a glamorous outfit with pink shirt with white long jacket, white pants and a necklace with green emerald on it, gold wrist bands on it, has purple fingernails as he carried a rose in his left hand and has pointed shoes, "What beautiful technique and his attacks flawless. You must introduce me to him. The great Elf Kabala." he introduced himself as he gave a smooch.
Back at the match...
"I pay one gauge and call to the center, Qinus Axia!" He called out Axia.
"Now, this might sting a little." Axia gave out his warning as he activated his ability, "Great Thunder Shock!" He attacked Kiri as he dealt him one damage, "Well, Gao-wow? Aren't you glad to listen to me?"
"Awesome! I call to the left, Magician of Glass Art! And after that I call Mana Booster, Melerquim to the right! Will Glass Art, attack Kiri!" He commanded.
"I cast Battle Aura Circle!" Kiri cast a counterspell as he nullified the attack.
"Once again, our up and cover uses a spell to nullify Gao's attack!" Paruko announced.
"Whoa, when did Kiri get so amazung with his Danger World skills?" Kuguru asked as she was amazed of seeing the match.
"Yeah, he's killing it, bro." Daisuke said.
"I attack Kiri with Melerquim!" Gao commanded as Melerquim swings his staff as he dealt Kiri with 1 damage.
"Can I really go again?" Axia asked.
"All yours, Axia." Gao agreed.
Back at the hideout...
"What's this? Mikado's using a Magic World deck? This kid really is too much. Tell me, is there anything that you can't do?" Shido asked.
"Move it." Shido then noticed a girl behind him, who has orange short hair with her bangs tied on top, wearing glasses and wore the same suit as Sofia wore.
"Terumi Kuchikawa, right?" Shido asked.
"Yeah, maybe. Who might you be?" Terumi asked sarcastically.
"I'm one of the tougher Buddyfighters around!" He complained.
"Shido. That's enough now." Kyoya said.
"As you wish, sir!" Shido bowed in apologetically. Terumi looked at Kyoya as she blushed and looked the other way while tipping her glasses.
"I'm gonna sent Armorknight Ogre to the Drop Zone and Buddycall Armorknight Asmodai to the right area!"
"Did he say Armorknight Asmodai?" Suzuha asked.
"Oh yeah! A Demon Lord in Danger World! Oh yeah!" Asmodai appeared in his form but with an arsenal of weapons equipped to him as Kiri regained one life as he remembered what he told Asmodai a favor.
"What do you want to talk about?" Asmodai asked as he and Tetsuya were outside of the dojo with Kiri.
"Could you please transform into a Danger World monster for me today?" Kiri asked a favor.
"Hang on, is that even like a thing you can do, A-dog?" Tetsuya asked his buddy.
"Course I can. I'm a Demon Lord, aren't I? But I'm surprised you knew about it."
"I read it in one of the training manuals at Sengoku." Kiri said as Asmodai agreed.
"Think fast!" Asmodai said as he pulled out missile launchers and shoots at all the monsters were all destroyed, leaving Axia behind.
"Ah man!" Gao was shocked.
"When called to the battlefield, I instantly destroyed the opponent's left and right monsters." Asmodai explained.
"Alright! Armorknight Asmodai! Attack Axia!" Kiri commanded.
"Oh, I'm on it!" Asmodai said as he pulled out a hammer and he runs to attack Axia.
"Oh, and it was just when Gao-wow finally starting using me." Axia said.
"I cast Magical Confine!" Gao cast as Axia returned to the hand.
"No problem! I'll just send Minotaur to attack you!" Kiri recommended as Minotaur comes charging in.
"No chance! I cast Quick Summon and Axia to the center!" He cast as Axia came back to the center again.
"So wake up call! Great Thunder Shock!" Axia was called out again as he used his ability to shock Kiri again as he was inflicted with 1 damage.
"Axia's attack and defense get a big boost from Quick Summon's ability. I'm talking 2000 points!" Gao explains.
"Enough, Gao-wow! Minotaur has 5000 attack even with my bonus, I only have 4000 defense." He said disappointingly.
"I got it covered. I'll just use another Magical Confine and keep you safe!" Gao cast another Magical Confine as Axia went back to the hand again.
"I never expected Gao to be so good with Magic World. But I got this." Kiri thinks as he comes to attack, "Not bad! But try to block my Boulder Piercing Spear!" He attacked Gao as he was inflicted with 2 damage.
"Heh, his magic's really heating up." A voice said as it was a boy with black hair and yellow hair to the sides. He wears the uniform too but with the cape life Sofia, he carried a Dark Core wrapped around his neck, "You know, it kinda reminded me of myself a few years ago, will I get a chance to fight him, hm?" He asked as he stick his tongue out. As Kyoya nodded in agreement, "Alright, you won't be sorry, Kyoya. I promise."
"I call Axia to the center!" he called him out again.
"Here again, little one. Great Thunder Shock!" He shocked Kiri again with one damage.
"Okay, I'm gonna pay one gauge and Buddycall, Dragowizard Magician, Drum to the right position!" He called out his buddy.
"Ah yeah!"
"Oh love the uniform!" Axia complimented.
"Alright, Drum. Attack Kiri!" Gao commanded.
Drum swings his Drill staff as he prepared his stance, "Get a taste of my Drill Blaster!" He launched as the three missile shoots as it attacked Kiri, inflicting 2 damage, Kiri coughed from the smoke of the explosion.
"Axia, finish this!"
"With pleasure!" Axia finished Kiri off as the game ended.
(G: 1/ Item: None/ G: 0: None/Axia/Drum)
(K: 0/ Item: Spear/ G: 0: None/None/None)
Game Over. Winner: Gao Mikado
"I lost! Even with Asmodai's power! I knew I wouldn't be good enough to beat him." Kiri thinks as he was very disappointed of his outcome of his strategy.
"Oh yeah! This one's for my little sis!"
"Yeah it was!" Hanako said.
"That's what I called an awesome fight." Kazane said.
"My man got some mad skills, yo!" Tetsuya complimented.
Drum transformed back to his small form as Axia did the same, "Hey, Drum. I've got great news! I made a decision."
"Wait, Kiri." Gao said to his friend.
"What do you mean you're leaving?" Drum asked.
"Oh, Drum! You're saying you miss me already?" Axia said as he hugged him.
"Na-uh!"
"Oh, where'd you say you're going?" Gao asked Axia.
"Being around you two lately has helped me realized something. The truth you must know." Axia said as he transformed into a card, "Is that I want to bond like you two have. So I'm sending off to find my own buddy/" He said as he disappeared.
"Just like that we're free from the cuddly dragon." Drum said.
"Knowing him, I'm sure he'll find a great buddy." Gao said.
"Is he going to be okay, with you-know-who out there?" Drum asked.
"Nah, he did said it's not worth for him and besides I don't think he'll convince Axia that easily."
At the alley, Daisuke managed to grabbed Axia as he heads to the end of the alley. Axia got off of him, "Hey, Dai-dai! What's the big idea?! I was heading off to find my buddy!"
"Listen, Axia. I know you guys don't trust after what I done. But I need your help." Daisuke asked a favor.
"And why should I? Give me one good reason I should help you." Axia said as Daisuke sighed as the time went by when he told him his story.
"So is that why you're doing this?" Axia asked as Daisuke nodded.
"Now, do you understand? I need your help. Just until this whole thing is over. After that you can continue of finding the buddy you want. Agreed?" He extended his arm out for for Axia to shake as Axia looks at it and nodded, shook his hand.
"So what should I do to help you?"
"Simple. Ryuuga." He called out as Ryuuga came out of the deck.
"Yeah, Daisuke?"
"You know what to do."
"Right." Ryuuga nodded as he took Axia's hand and gave him the power. The light flashes as Axia's appearance changed. He became a small purple dragon with 2 horns, resembling a fire at the sides that glowing red at the ends, and circular orange eyes. His tail has 3 little fangs at the top and pointy. He wears a sleeveless red jacket and wing like attachments on his legs, and a brown bag on his back.
"Whoa! I'm a Dragonic monster now!" Axia was amazed of his appearance.
"Yep. For now, you're going to be called Dragonic Messenger, Palu. Welcome to the team, Palu." Ryuuga said.
"Oh thank you!" He hugged Ryuuga.
"Heh. He's really something." Daisuke said as he looks at the sky.
Back at the dojo as Kiri still feels down from his defeat.
"Be honest, Kiri. Did you really think your playing style was suited for Danger World?" Asmodai asked.
"What's that?" Kiri asked.
"Ever thought about switching things up?" He recommended, "I mean it's naturally that you wanna win for good shows. I'm not saying to stop using Danger World but it might be a good idea to try out different Worlds and see how they fit. Just like he's doing." He pointed Gao for his certain things.
"I think you're gonna be a little lonely now that Axia's gone." Gao said.
"Stop! Someone would hear you!" Drum complained as those two began to argue.
Back at the hideout...
Another one came by and it was a guy with red hair with demon hairstyle, he also wears the uniform and the cape, "Oh good. You came. Take a seat, Gremlin." Kyoya offered Gremlin then went to take his seat, "Well, now that everyone's here but one."
"Hm? You mean there's one more?" Shido asked.
"And that's me." Daisuke said as he appears to them, wearing the uniform as well.
"Daisuke?! What's he doing here?!" Shido complained.
"I simply gave him an offer he can't refused. And now, he actually accepted." Sofia said as she smiled for her accomplishment.
"Well, so you made your decision to join us, aren't you, Daisuke?" Kyoya asked.
"Don't misunderstand. I'm not doing this to join you. I'm doing this for my own purposes. But for starters..." He looked at the core deck he has, "I want this deck to be modified. I'm sure you have something that'll make it stronger."
"Indeed we do. We'll discuss this after the meeting." Daisuke nodded as he joined the others at the table, "As I was saying. You were all unique talents who been specially chosen to use my Disaster Force and you are in a matter of speaking, my friends." Kyoya chuckled.
"Yeah. So, you say that." Rouga said as he remembered what Kyoya said to him.
"You were a really good player. Wanna be my friend?"
"Join me and let's change the world! Pledge yourself to the Disaster Force." Kyoya quoted.
"To be clear. We will be adding those two we just saw to our ranks? They could be useful." Elf asked and recommended.
"Not just two." Kyoya laughed, "There's a third that I had my eye on."
At the Buddy Police HQ...
Tasuku was at the top, watching the sun rising from the horizon.
Spotlight shown with Daisuke appearing in his Disaster uniform...
"Welcome. Everyone, as you can see. I became part of the Disaster team. Things will be changing soon. So you'll see something besides my appearance and for Palu, Axia has joined my team. That'll be all for this chapter. Until then, see ya."
