"Every story ends with a happy ending! Luminize! Happily Ever After!" My core gadget turned into a book.
"Raise the flag and march towards victory. Luminize! Flag of Victory!" His red core gadget became a sword.
"Time to raise the flag!"
"So, who do you think will win?" Wanda asked Jun.
"Akari's deck has lots of monsters with a high defense that can withstand Hiroki's Dragon Knights. In terms of defensive power, Akari has the edge. But depending on what Hiroki's strategy would be, we can't say," Jun answered.
"If Hiroki rushes to inflict as much damage as possible, then Hiroki might win this," Hisoka added.
"Fairy Tale World!"
"Dragon World!"
"The first move goes to Akari," Paruko said.
"Charge and draw," My hand remained 6 but my gauge increased and turned to 3.
Hiroki started to chuckle which made me confuse.
"Why are you laughing?" I asked Hiroki.
"I was the one who was supposed to fight you when you first used Fairy Tale World. I can have that chance and see how you do using the world you've been using for awhile. You've come so far and now, we're battling for the spot to compete in the ABC Cup," Hiroki answered.
I laughed awkwardly and said, "Yeah. I still can't believe it though."
"However, I cannot lose to you," Hiroki said with determination, "I will be the one participating and win!"
"I shall aid you and make sure we win," Jeanne said.
"You're going to have to go through me first!" I said.
"Well said, little princess," Prince Charming smiled.
Thus, the battle for the chance to compete in the ABC Cup begins.
Opening 1: Sense of Wonder
sousa WE CAN DO IT! motto hatena darakede ikō
(That's right, we can do it! Even if our lives are filled with unanswered questions)
Akari appeared facing to the left. She turned her face to the front and gave a smile and a salute then disappeared. Prince Charming appeared facing to the right then turns to the front to give a smile as well. The background is the buddyfight stage at Aibo Academy.
fushigi eno tobira wa me no mae ni aru
(The miraculous door is right before our eyes.)
The screen turned black for a second then shows Akari and Prince Charming in front of a strange double door. Their hands in each surface of the door and pushed it to reveal a bright light. The two covered their eyes using their arm.
kono sekaijū ga WONDER LAND
(This entire world is a wonderland.)
The light dissipates as the two uncovered their eyes to see Wanda, Jun, Hiroki and Hisoka talking to each other. Alice is seen chasing Dorothy while Jeanne and Soushi watched the two run. Akari and Prince Charming walked towards the group. The current background is a grass field.
bokura wa mō sudeni WONDER ringu
(We're already wondering!)
They noticed the two going near them. The group stopped what they were doing, run up to the pair and smiled and talked to them.
doki doki ga waku waku ni nattara WONDER furujan
(When anticipation turns into excitement, it'll be wonderful, won't it?)
The group is seen to be laughing when all of a sudden Akari looked up to the sky. The group did the same and looked up as well. The camera went upwards then stops to show the title "Future Card Buddyfight: Lost Fairy Tale". Then the title shone bright.
jibuntte dare darō? riarutte nan darō?
ashita wa doushite mienain darō?
(Who am I? And what is real?
Why can't we see tomorrow?)
The light dissipates to reveal Akari, in her room, looking at herself sadly at the mirror. The reflection reveals to be her younger self looking happy. Someone placed their hand on her shoulder. She turned around to reveal it was Prince Charming who did then smiled at her. Akari smiled back then looks at the sky. The background changed from inside her room to outside somewhere when she turned around.
koukishin no bun dake leberu UP shiteku
kimi to boku no EVERYDAY sutetamon janai desho?
(The more curiosity, the more we achieve higher levels. Our everyday together is pretty fun, don't you think?)
The camera transitioned to show the group consisting of Wanda, Jun, Hiroki, Hisoka, Dorothy, Alice, Jeanne and Soushi at the castle with Jun fixing their decks while they talk. Two shadow figures walks passed the camera almost as if intersecting. Akari noticed this and looks from side to side to see no one. But she looked sad as if she knows who passed by.
oshiete Sense of Wonder
(Tell me! Sense of Wonder.)
The screen is as if it's blinking while showing the memories of a younger Akari with her family, friends and two unknown children.
jinsei wa shugyou nari
(Teach it! Life is full of teachings!)
The blinking transition stopped and showed a determined Akari looking at her "Happily Ever After" Impact card. Prince Charming placed a hand on her shoulder. She looks at him. Prince Charming gave her a nod as if he understood her. Akari smiled and opened the door. The pair entered there, running.
dakara WE CAN MAKE IT motto hatena sagashi ni ikō
(So we can make it! Let's go search for more mysteries!)
The camera transition is as if it's turning, showing each characters. Akari slashing monsters with Prince's Sword, Legacy, Prince Charming dodging and countering, Jun using the White Hare's Pocket Watch to summon a portal so that he wouldn't get hit by the incoming attack from a monster, Alice jumped kicks the monster hitting his head, Wanda casting a spell and Dorothy punching a monster. The background is the buddyfight stage.
arifureta kotaeja gaman dekinai
(I won't be satisfied with the typical answer.)
The spinning of the camera stopped and Akari was shown, who stares at the two older figures in her memory. She run towards them.
mahō ni kakatta WONDER LIFE bokura no mirai wa WONDER ringu.
(A wonder life that's under a spell.
Our future is full of wonder!)
The background changed once more. This time, it's Aibo Academy. Someone tapped her shoulder. She looks to her side to see Prince Charming who did that. He gave her a reassuring smile. Jun, Alice and Hisoka also gave her a reassuring smile. To her other side was none other than Wanda, Dorothy and Hiroki who also gave her a smile.
shitai koto shite ikiteru houga ganbarerujan!
(It's better to live your life doing the things you like, because then, you'll be able to work harder! Let's wonder!)
Akari started to run. The others followed her.
Let's Wondering!
Akari suddenly jumped upwards with the characters still running after her and freeze in position.
"I call Climbing Prince, Jeff (Size 1/4000/2/2000) to the center area."
A handsome young man with long blonde messy hair and orange eyes wearing a white buttoned up shirt adorned by a brown cape, white belt, brown leather gloves, brown pants and long brown boots appeared at the center position.
"Would I need to climb another tower again?" Jeff sighed.
"Jeff, attack the fighter!" I ordered him.
"If you say so," Jeff charge towards Hiroki and gave him an uppercut, reducing Hiroki's life to 8.
"End of Move."

"Your move."
"It is now Hiroki's move. What cards will he play? Let's watch and find out," Paruko said.
"I draw. Charge and draw," Hiroki's hand becomes 7 and his gauge 3, "I buddy call Dragon Knight, Jeanne D'Arc (Size 1/4000/1/5000) to the right position."
"What is this?! Hiroki just buddy called his buddy right off the bat!" Paruko commentated with enthusiasm, "What's he planning to do now?"
Jeanne just guided the blue dragon to fly and land on the right area of Hiroki, "We shall be victorious."
"I cast Buddy Charge," Hiroki added a card two cards in his gauge.
"This spell let's him gain a card in the gauge. If he has his buddy on the field, he gains another gauge," Paruko explained.
"Now, I pay 1 gauge and this on top of Jeanne to call Faithful Dragon Knight, Jeanne D'Arc (Size 1/4000/2/2000) then I call Dragon Knight, Lenus to the left."
A vortex of fire covered Jeanne. A few seconds later, it dissipates to reveal Jeanne wearing a white battle dress holding a white banner. Even the color of the dragon changed into silver. Next, a female pharaoh with black hair appeared along with a white dragon covered with gold armor in some parts of its body.
"Leave everything to me, Hiroki," Jeanne said with determination.
"What's this?! Jeanne has an awesome upgrade! I wonder what would be her skills," Paruko said.
"I equip Flag of the Saint, Eternelle (0/1/3000)," A flag appeared on Hiroki's hand similar to the one Jeanne is currently holding.
"Let's raise our banner and win!" Jeanne raised her flag.
"I don't know what the item does but we will find out eventually," Paruko said.
"Lastly, I pay 1 gauge and cast Cavalry Academy," An orb appeared with a giant man and a building that looks like a castle as its artwork. Golden aura covered the dragon knights as well as Hiroki's flag.
"With this set, all Dragon Knights gain 1000 power and defense (Faithful Dragon Knight, Jeanne D'Arc (5000/3000), Flag of the Saint, Eternelle (1000/4000))," Paruko explained.
"Jeanne's skill. Since the card that was sent to the drop zone that I used for my spell's cost is a Dragon Knight, she gains additional critical (3)," Hiroki explained.
"He's doing the right moves," Jun said.
"Agreed," Hisoka said.
"Since this is a Dragon Knight deck, it focuses on placing cards on the drop zone and gauge as well as a certain number of cards in the drop zone to activate their skills, right?" Wanda asked.
Jun nodded, "That's right. I designed his deck to gain more gauge, at the same time, for him to slowly chip it away for other skills while maintaining the amount of cards he has in his gauge."
"Wah! You're so cool, Jun!" Wanda complimented which made Jun smiled.
"Lenus, attack the center!" Hiroki ordered
"As you wish," Lenus responded and signalled her dragon to shoot fire towards Jeff. The dragon did what it was told and shoot fire towards Jeff, hitting him directly.
"At least I protected my princess," Jeff said then shattered into bits for good.
"She's my little princess!" Prince Charming yelled despite Jeff being gone which made me sweatdrop.
"Jeanne, attack Akari!" Hiroki ordered his buddy.
"Right." Jeanne responded.
Jeanne came at me with her dragon and thrusted the banner through my chest, reducing my life to 6.
"End of Move."

"Hiroki struck 4 damage to Akari! How can she turn this around?!" Paruko said.
"Your Move."
"I draw. Charge and draw," My hand becomes 5 while my gauge becomes 4, "I cast Fairies' Blessings first." Two cards were added in my gauge.
"Akari used a spell to increase her gauge as well as the cards in her hand since she is a female," Paruko explained.
"I pay 1 gauge and call Prince Siegfried of the Lake (Size 1/5000/2/4000) to the right. I also pay 1 gauge and put the top card of my deck into his soul and buddy call Prince Charming (Size 2/5000/2/5000) to the left."
A handsome tall young man with long silver white hair, purple eyes and pale skin wearing a black tailcoat with gold tassles on the shoulders, a white dress shirt and blue vest underneath the coat, black pants and shoes. Prince Charming just leapt to go to his assigned position.
"Shall we dance, my princess?" Siegfried asked.
"She's my little princess! How many times do I have to tell you?!" Prince Charming reminded Siegfried angrily.
"With a buddy gift, Akari gains 1 life," Paruko said while my life increased to 7.
"I pay 1 life and equip Prince's Sword, Legacy (5000/2)," A sword with a red handle and golden design appeared on my hands and its sheathe on the side of my waist.
"Since there is a Prince attribute in the field, Legacy gains an additonal critical (3)," Paruko said, "With Siegfried's ability, Legacy gains a double attack which can hit up to 6 damage even if Lenus has a move ability plus Prince Charming's and Siegfried's attacks which can make up a total of 10 damage. It is enough to end this right here and now due to Hiroki's 9 life! Can Hiroki survive Akari's assault?" Paruko said.
"I activate Siegfried's skill by paying 1 gauge," I said.
"Thank you for using my ability, princess," Siegfried said bowing as my sword shone bright. Prince Charming growled when Siegfried said "princess" to me. It's really flattering yet embarassing at the same time to be called "princess".
"Since I have another Dragon Knight in the field, Lenus gets to move to the center," Hiroki explained while the said unit went to the center.
"None of you shall pass," Lenus said, pointing her staff towards me.
"Her skill. Since she moved, I can add one card from my deck into my gauge," Hiroki explained as his gauge increased.
"Once again, Hiroki added a card in his gauge thanks to Lenus skill," Paruko commentated.
"I attack first," I said as I charge towards Lenus. Her dragon aimed then attacked me by shooting fire. I simply dodge and slashed Lenus.
"I'll rise back up in the depths of the underworld," Lenus said before disappearing.
"Penetrate!" I slashed him, making him take 3 damage. "Double attack!"
I was about to slash him once more when Hiroki just smirked at me, "I pay 1 gauge and I rest Eternelle to nullify the attack!"
The flag shone from Hiroki's hand as it generated a barrier which stopped my attack.
"I also gain 1 life back," Hiroki smiled.
"Unbelievable! Hiroki just blocked the attack with his item!" Paruko said with excitement.
"Siegfried, attack the fighter!" I ordered.
Siegfried dashed then leapt towards the air, and thrusted his sword, reducing Hiroki's life by 2.
"Prince Charming!"
"You got it, little princess," Prince Charming said as he charged towards Hiroki.
"I cast Knight Energy!" A red aura surrounds Hiroki.
"With this, Eternelle has 7000 defense and another ability," Paruko explained.
"Counterattack!" He then thrusted the flag pole as if it was a sword, piercing through Prince Charming's stomache.
"Because of Prince Charming's soulguard, he survives," Paruko said. As if on cue, Prince Charming appeared where he was assigned.
"Darn! Sorry, little princess," Prince Charming apologised.
I smiled at him and said, "It's fine."
"End of Move."

"It's now Hiroki's turn," Paruko said.
"Your move."
"I draw. Charge and draw," His hand becomes 3 while his gauge becomes 4, "I call Dragon Knight Masamune (Size 1/3000/2/3000) to the center and Dragon Knight, Naotora (Size 0/2000/1/1000) to the right."
A male covered in purple armor wielding twin swords with an eyepatch with a matching purple dragon and a female dragon knight with brown hair wearing a red kimono wielding a naginata accompanied by a red dragon appeared.
"Naotora's skill," Hiroki smiled.
"We do whatever we takes to win," Naotora said.
"I choose Prince Charming and then choose Masamune to place in my gauge," Hiroki smirked.
Masamune transformed into a star and went to Hiroki's gauge, adding a card by one.
"And then I destroy cards in the soul equal to the number of the cards I placed in my gauge," Hiroki explained as Prince Charming was engulfed by fire, destroying him, "Also, i gain 1 life because of Jeanne's skill."
"Smart move by Hiroki! He reduced the number of soul in Prince Charming's, added a gauge and gained a life at the same time! Talk about a combo!" Paruko said. At the same time, Prince Charming returned.
"What a move," Prince Charming laughed.
"This is not the time for laughing!" I yelled at my buddy.
"Yeesh! Scary," Prince Charming chuckled.
"Next up is I pay 2 gauge and cast Dragogenius," Hiroki drew two cards.
"Smart play. Not only did he gain two cards but he increased Jeanne's critical (4) as well!" Paruko said.
"I put Naotora to the drop zone and call Dragon Knight, Ranmaru (Size 0/1000/2/1000) in her place," While saying this, Naotora got destroyed. In turn, a samurai accompanied by a purple armor appeared.
"I move Prince Charming to the center," I said as my buddy materialized at his designated area.
"Even if it destroys me, I will protect you, little princess," Prince Charming said with determination.
"Richard, attack the center!" Hiroki ordered.
"Gladly," He responded as he charged using his dragon.
"I won't let you touch, little princess! I shall protect her so that she can win!" Prince Charming said which made me blush. That's very kind of him.
He jumped down and charge towards the dragon knight with sword at hand. However, Richard swooped in and slashed Prince Charming thus, destroying my buddy.
"Jeanne, attack the fighter!"
"No hard feelings, Akari," Jeanne said as she flew with her dragon and thrusted it towards me.
"Wah!" I was dealt 4 damage.
"Ranmaru, finish this!"
He flew and swiftly drew his sword in an attempt to strike me, however...
"I cast Mirage!" He hits the air instead.

"Incredible! Akari survived Hiroki's assault! However, she only has 2 life left! How can she turn this around?!" Paruko said with excitement.
"Your move."
"Draw. Charge and draw," My hand becomes 3 while my gauge becomes 4.
"This it," Jun said.
"The deciding factor. It will be interesting to know who won," Hisoka smiled.
"Wah! It's so hard to choose who to cheer!" Wanda added.
"Indeed it is," Hisoka said.
"Depending on how she plays her cards, she may win or she may lose," Jun pointed out.
Nice! Finally! For once in my life, I got lucky! I smiled which made Hiroki confused, "I pay 1 gauge and call Prince from the Shore, Eric (Size 1/4000/2/4000) to the right!"
A young handsome man who looks like a pioneer with a sword at hand appeared.
"Let's travel around sometime," He said.
"I pay 1 gauge to activate Siegfried's skill," My sword glowed bright.
"Eric and Akari's item has a double attack! Can Hiroki live to see another turn?! The suspense is killing me!" Paruko said.
"The game has been decided," Jun said.
"Shh! No spoiler!" Hisoka said to Jun which made him sweatdrop
"Siegfried, link attack with me (10000)," I said.
"I understand," Siegfried responded.
"Bring it!" Richard said.
The dragon tried to stomp us but we easily dodged it. Siegfried and I simultaneously slashed Richard, destroying him.
"Penetrate!" I slashed 3 life off of him.
"Grr!"
"Double attack!" I was about to slash him when a barrier separated us while he gained 1 life.
"Hiroki blocked the double attack with his item's skill," Paruko commentated.
"Eric!"
"On it!"
"Eric's skill let's him gain 1000 power and plus 1 critical (5000/3)," Paruko explained.
Eric dashed then leapt through the air and slashed Hiroki. Hiroki just clicked his tongue as his life dropped to 1.
"This is the end!" He thrusted his sword, making his life 0 as the flag got destroyed.
"Game Over. Winner, Akari Mamoru!"
"There you have it folks! Akari Mamoru will take the final spot as the wild card for the middle school in the ABC cup. Who would have thought that the Unlucky Student would actually get in?!" Paruko said with joy. I don't whether to get hurt or not by her last comment though.
"Nicely done, Akari," Hiroki said as he offered to shake hands.
"You too! You got stronger," I said as we shook hands.
"You better not lose at the ABC cup," Hiroki said.
"Of course!" I smiled.
This is it! I'm going to win this thing! With my friends supporting me, I know that I can win!
Someone watched Akari's match in their tablet and smiled, "I'm looking forward to see you get even stronger, my old friend."

Wanda: This item has the Dragon Knight attribute. It has 4000 defense and a critical of one.
