Drum quickly reacted as he flew higher in the air and avoided the claws of the Great Fiend. He grabbed the fur on the neck of the monster and readied his long katana to slash.

Yamigedo grunted furiously and spun quickly. He ejected the dragon from his back. His orange eyes searched for the dragon when missiles came at him.

Ikazuchi casted a shield spell that protected his friend from the explosion.

Phoenix flew below the fiend and threw some of his sharp feathers at the monster. Most of them bounced on the breastplate of the monster while a few pierced his flesh, causing only some light wound that he ignored.

"Dragon Breath!" Gao casted.

Flame came to the monster who blocked it with his arms. The Fiend barely felt the flame on his fur.

"Yamigedo!" the red dragon yelled as he appeared behind the evil monster.

The body of Yamigedo grew in an ominous purple light as he spammed from his body many worm versions of himself. They were made of pure energy and were ready to eat the dragon.

The XIV cut each of them coming at him with ease and when he glared back to where his enemy was, he saw nothing, he is much stronger than last time, he grunted as he searched around.

"Below you!" Kazane yelled.

He looked down and saw the monster coming at him, mouth opened and ready to eat him hole.

"Backspace!" Paruko yelled.

Drum felt something on his foot and when he looked down, he saw his feet glowing and quickly made him back away and avoided the fangs of the fiend.

The battle continued as the monsters attacked around the Great Fiend and made sure that he couldn't focus on attacking them all at once. The monster was also quick at avoiding and blocking any attack coming at him.

Gao prepared his next spellcard.

"Gao!" Paruko yelled.

The boy noticed something at the corner of his eyes and switched cards, "Dragonblade, Drumsword!"

He grabbed a big silver sword with a bronze handle that had a drill in the middle of the blade. It was a weapon he had for a while in his deck and never got the chance to use it.

Ikazuchi came with his thunder claw and aimed at the other human's face. Gao blocked it with his sword, "This time! You will be the one to fall!"

"Ikazuchi!" the Fiend worryingly gazed at his friend. He painfully grumbled when he received a blow on the gut by Card Burn.

"Focus on them!" Ikazuchi yelled back.

Ikazuchi. Fine. "Don't you dare get hurt!" he avoided the next punch and grabbed the arm of the machine hero.

"I won't!" his friend yelled back.

Yamigedo was about to break the mechanical arm when he saw Phoenix coming at him and tackled his snout. Blood came out of his nostrils. He released his enemy and avoided at the last second the dragon, "Damn you!"

The new Omni Lord gazed at his buddy, "That sword," he let out a small smile. It was a weapon his clan made for Gao when they visited during summer. He lightly chuckled at those memories as he turned towards the Great Fiend. Memories from what he read in the journal about the fiend that threaten the earth flew in his mind, "You don't have to get hurt anymore Yamigedo. You don't have to put Ikazuchi in danger. You can put an end to this."

"Spelling lies now? Like Tenbu. Of course, you would. You are an Omni Lord," he replied back.

The red dragon frowned, "Do not insult grandpa Tenbu like that. He's also your father!"

"You will join him soon enough!" He clapped his gray hands together and summoned a dark ball of energy. It felt like malice and hatred came out of it, "Omni Lords should die for their sins!"

Drum muscles tensed as he prepared to strike back. He gazed at his allies. Phoenix and Card Burn were ready to attack on the side. He gave another one at his buddy who fought farther away against Ikazuchi in an intense duel of their own. He frowned as he gained more altitude. He rather not let that attack hit the land and maybe destroy a village or city.


Episode 27: The Clash Of Tenbu's Families

The ball of energy was thrown by the fiend towards the red dragon.

Drum Bunker Dragon quickly flew by the side as he avoided the attack.

The Great Fiend was hit on his side by the other two monsters while he was hit in the face by Takihara spell.

The dragon charged with his sword ready and slashed. The blade was blocked by the silver gauntlet of the fiend and the next attack, blocked by the claws. Drum was hit on the side by the palm of the hand and sent him away. The dragon painfully grunted, but the attack was less painful than he expected. He quickly recovered and blocked the claws coming at him.

Card Burn flew from above and fired missiles on the back of the monster and it exploded.

Yamigedo painfully grunted as he took the attack. He quickly took some distances when sharp feathers aimed at his gut. He tried to break his dire situation but the monsters always made sure to surround him. The monster grunted as he released more worm version of himself and charged at his enemies, "I'll get rid of you two first!" he yelled with annoyance. The worms targeted mostly at Drum's allies.

Phoenix used his speed to avoid getting caught up by the little worms and their bites. He was helped by his buddy spells. The spell forced the worms to get closer together. The green bird quickly turned around and threw more of his solid feathers at them and quickly got rid of them to the last one.

Card Burn had his body resilience enhanced by his buddy spell and couldn't feel their bite. He focused his energy to release an energy blast around him and disintegrated the little worms assaulting him.

Meanwhile, Drum took the offensive, with no worms coming at him, he aimed at the Great Fiend and made sure he didn't attack his allies. He couldn't challenge them on his own.


Ikazuchi tried to cut the face of the other boy with his claws but never reached the boy.

Gao was quick to avoid anything coming at him and fast reflex to block with his sword.

"Damn you!" Ikazuchi cursed as he continued his assault.

"Ikazuchi!" Gao grunted as he blocked. He swung his sword and had a chance to attack. He kicked the chest of the older boy and sent him away. He thought what to say next. Nothing came when the other boy came back at him.

"You brought another Omni Lord hum?" Ikazuchi grunted as he tried to attack the boy. Gao blocked it at the last second, he could see the claws near his eyeballs, "When he knew that the Omni Lords killed everyone in my village! My family is dead because of them! You must feel proud hum Gao? Your buddy is sided with horrible monsters like them."

The Sun Fighter frowned and pushed the claws away. He grunted, "Do not say lies Ikazuchi. You do not know Drum. And he has nothing to do with their death."

"He is an Omni Lord now. So, he has everything to do with-" he was cut when Gao was near him and headbutt the teenage boy.

"He wasn't! He wasn't one then and would never do something like that!" the boy furiously yelled. He was pushed away and saw that the other boy had a nosebleed.

Ikazuchi panted as he regained his focus. He let his emotions burst out and got wounded, Yamigedo will be pissed.

"However. What happened to your family is horrible. I won't ever deny that," Gap said. It was such an injustice that he would have done anything if it was possible. It wasn't alas.

The other one found those words sounding very true in his ears. The Mighty Sun Fighter wasn't lying at him. Even so, he wouldn't stop what he was doing. Yamigedo was everything to him. He was all that remained of importance for him, "If you think I'll stop. I won't Gao," he had less venom in his voice, "We have both been wronged and revenge is the only thing we have," he charged once again. Their battle continued as they tried to defeat the others.

Their weapons clashed many times. The Sun Fighter didn't let the other boy dominate him. He saw sparkled coming from the gauntlet and blocked lightning with a blue Dragon Shield.

Ikazuchi took his chance and smashed the side of the other boy and sent him away. He charged to continue his assault but was blocked.

Gao grabbed the handle of his sword and activated the drill. He slashed and the sudden increase of pressure forced the older boy lost his balance when he blocked the attack. Gao didn't lose a second and went to the offensive, but the other one flew away while he recovered and prepared his next offensive.


A monster was watching the battle evolving. The monster lightly chuckled as he saw how the battle was evolving, "Maybe I'll have a chance to free my master from the weight he is carrying on," his gaze went to Ikazuchi, "Master Yamigedo will awaken his true potential soon," he smirked. He just needed the perfect chance to act, without awakening the ire of his master. He had observed everything for a while and knew those who also served Yamigedo. He noticed the trio near the cavern, observing the fight. They were hidden from the sight of Paruko for now, "I'll need a little chat now. Their cooperation is needed."

He went towards them to begin some negotiation… And offering something juicy for them in return.


Yamigedo was near Drum and tried to bite the dragon. He missed the target and felt the blade bouncing on his purple tongue, "You thought you could cut it?" He grunted.

The Omni Lord didn't reply as he saw many dark balls coming at him. He blocked many of them and avoided the other one's. He saw a shadow above him and Yamigedo kicked him in the face and sent him against the waterfall. He painfully grunted as he saw the master of the Hundred Demons coming at him.

Card Burn tackled the groin of the gray monster and followed with a punch, reinforced by the thrusters of his shoulders right on the chest.

His armor couldn't absorb all of the impact and sent him away, leaving him breathless. He didn't have a chance to recover when Phoenix tackled him on the right shoulder with everything he got before the bird flew away. It was so easy to beat them last time, he grunted. They were fighting differently. He emitted a dark aura as he stood up. He let out a war cry while he checked on his friend, managing to not get beat up, I have to hurry. Hold on Ikazuchi, "Call me if you need help."

The giant monster charged at the machine this time. He avoided the missiles coming at him and grabbed the throat of the hero robot. He prepared his claws and aimed at the chest, where the main unit that allowed the monster to live was.

"Body of Steel!" Takihara yelled.

The claws bounced on the armor and one of them broke on the impact. He felt the pain resonating in his hand. He clenched his hands and punched the face of the machine with everything he had. The attack made his bones twisting under his flesh and he painfully grunted as he sent his enemy against the rock near the waterfall.

The punch left no damage on Card Burn, but the inside had been affected and the monster was incapacitated for now.

Yamigedo charged to finish him but avoided a beam coming from above. Paruko casted another one and forced the monster to back away.

Phoenix took the charge and threw more sharp feathers at the Great Fiend, before avoiding the claws and flying away.

Drum took the offensive again and slashed. He hit the chest of the other monster and left a mark on the armor. He saw some blood coming out. The wound wasn't deep. The dragon avoided the counter attack at the last second, "Yamigedo. You said that the Omni Lords committed sins. It's true. What happened to Ikazuchi is tragic, but I know Tenbu would never ask anyone to kill his family!" he pointed his large katana at the orange eyes of the monster, "And you killed many innocents. Including Tenbu," he grunted when he saw the other monster about to protest, "You are also a sinner!"

"I… Don't care!" the monster charged and tried to kill the Omni Lord. They looked like they were dancing in the sky, "I don't care if I am a sinner Omni Lord. I don't care if the worlds hate me! I will not die! I won't be cast aside because they don't want to use me anymore! I care only for myself and Ikazuchi!" he grabbed the red dragon in his hand and squeezed. He heard the armor bending under his grasp. He listened the dragon grunting in agony, "However. I do no pretend to be innocent like you."

The XIV braced the pain and grunted. He had one question to ask, "Are you happy?"

The Great Fiend had no answer to that sudden question.

"You killed your father. Are you happy that Grandpa Tenbu is dead?" the dragon yelled, "Because I feel like you aren't."

The next second, the dragon was thrown on the ground. He painfully coughed. A sip of blood coming out of his mouth, "D-damn," Drum grumbled as he raised his head.

Yamigedo prepared another large ball of darkness in the palm of his hands. His orange eyes shined a little brighter than earlier, "You talk too much Omni Lord!"

Some words of his father echoed in the mind of Fang Slade Terrestrial, "Guess I am right," he used his swords to stand up, "Yamigedo! I won't fall! I am here and we will stop everything!" he thought of the will of his grandpa, "Everything!"

"Your death will begin the end of everything!" he yelled as he threw the ball of darkness, before the red dragon could avoid it.

Gao continued to struggle against the older boy. He kept blocking the claws with his sword. He resisted everything coming at him. He made his sword disappeared and grabbed the wrist of the Ikazuchi. He hit the chest of Ikazuchi, leaving him out of breath, and threw him away. The Sun Fighter felt some pressure suddenly increasing somewhere and turned around. He saw his buddy about to get crushed on the ground. His gaze went at his friend who was standing up, but still affected by the pain. The boy grabbed his spellcard. He searched for the spell. He knew the time was now. He knew it was the most powerful shield spell he had yet.

"Lord's Dragon Shield!" the boy yelled. As the spell was casted, his hair was slowly getting longer on his back.

A shield appeared and blocked the ball of dark energy. It let out a loud sound as the frictions on the shield resonated. The shield became stronger and it resisted the great power used by the monster to finish off the dragon. After a few seconds, the ball exploded.

The smoke covered the view and the fiend charged. Yamigedo painfully grunted when he smashed his head on the shield. He pulled back and put his hand on his face.

The smoke dispersed and the shield was shining to its glory light. Never once damaged by the powerful attack.

The Great Fiend lightly paled when he saw the shield. It was the face of Tenbu on the shield. His breathing accelerated as his fingers shaken, "Dad," his voice had a hint of regret and sorrow. He wasn't expecting to feel that. His eyes lightly paled.

It left him as a shock as he saw the shield. He suddenly felt pain on his back when feathers pierced his hard shell back and blood came out. He snapped out of it and turned towards Phoenix. He summoned more worm version of himself made of energy and chased Phoenix. The green bird did everything to avoid the attack and was protected by his buddy. Alas, two of them hit the monster and they bit him. They took out some of his energy before he freed himself. Kazane destroyed the remaining larva of energy.

The shield remained another second before it disappeared. The red dragon wasn't behind it.

He searched around for the dragon when he was blinded by a flash of light, used by Takihara spell.

Drum Bunker Dragon charged from above and yelled. The master of the Hundred Demons turned around and before he could block the dragon, his gut was impaled by the katana.

The dragon used his Omni Lord power and released a wave of energy through his weapon and right in the belly of the Great Fiend.

Yamigedo painfully grunted as blood came out of his mouth. He saw the dragon flying away from him as he felt into the lake, near the waterfall.

Ikazuchi was about to attack Gao once again when he saw his friend floating on the lake. He ignored the boy and went to his friend, "Yamigedo!"

He landed on the chest of his friend and put his hand on the snout of the fiend, "You're okay?"

"Y-yes," he grumbled as he looked in the air. He saw the four humans and the Omni Lord gazing at them.

"Surrender now," Takihara ordered. He crossed his arms, "There is no need to keep fighting."

Ikazuchi turned around and furiously yelled, "Never! We haven't lost yet!"

He felt the monster moving and flew in the air. His giant friend stood up and put his hand on his middle, "Sorry. That is just a deep wound."

Phoenix came and landed on the ground. Kazane was by his side and checked if he was alright. He nodded and told his ally, "Drum. Just let me recover and I'll be back."

The red dragon nodded. He prepared to continue the battle with his buddy, "Let's do this buddy," and he charged.

Yamigedo let out a war cry and charged.

The two monsters collided as they continued to battle. The dragon avoided the claws and the fangs from the fiend while trying to counter his attack and gain momentum. He couldn't do it and remained on the defensive. He always had to back away from the attacks coming at him. The dragon jumped behind him and passed through the waterfall.

The Great Fiend stood there and waited. He didn't want to go in there and his buddy following him.

Ikazuchi and Gao gazed at each other as they casted their gear away. They would focus on their spells to support their partner.

Drum suddenly busted outside of the waterfall and slashed the forehead of the monster. He jumped away and avoided the tails of the monster.

Shido, Sofia and Gallows watched the battle behind the waterfall. They avoided being spotted by the Fifth Omni Lord.

"That was a close one," Shido whispered.

"We would have been in big trouble if seen. Sha. Sha," the darkness dragon chuckled quietly, while cleaning his forehead with his scarf. He had been sweating.

"Get ready. Yamigedo and Ikazuchi are going to need help soon," the girl said.

"That isn't necessary," a voice said behind them.

The trio turned around and saw a monster coming towards them.

A tall skeleton being walked towards them. It looked like the human bones without eyeballs or muscles on it. He wore a black armor with bones and skulls decorating it, a blue loincloth, black crown with blue gems and a purple cape. He approached them and said, "Master Yamigedo doesn't require your help," his eye socket began to shine with white light, "However, I require your help very soon. No… You will help me or…" he chuckled as he showed his heavy sword.

Gallows gulped and gazed at his buddy and the girl, "Sha. Sha. He is going to bring me down."

The two humans saw the blue aura coming out of the knight. His power was on another level. Not like Yamigedo, but still powerful.

"Do as I say and you will be rewarded, with what Yamigedo will give you," he lightly chuckled when he saw he gained their cooperation, "I forgot to introduce myself. I am First Knight of the Apocalypse, Gratos. The second in command of the Hundred Demons."

"W-why are you coming here now?" the boy asked nervously.

Gratos chuckled, "Good question. I couldn't show myself earlier," he put back his sword and added, "There is someone I rather avoid. I need you to cause an opportunity if Yamigedo loses the fight."

He told them his order. The two humans lightly paled at his demand. It wasn't what they were here for. Their mission was to limit the damage caused by Yamigedo. It was Kyoya's order. What Gratos wanted went against it.

The monster by the side of the boy gazed at the skull monster. He grew more and more nervous as this would be disobeying Azi Dahaka.

Still, refusing to obey Gratos the worse thing to do. Sofia was the one who made the choice and take the consequence, "We'll do that," she gazed at her friend and nodded lightly.

The boy trusted her judgement and followed her decisions. They observed how the battle was progressing.

Yamigedo was pushed inside the waterfall and landed on his feet in the cavern. He had many wounds on his chest and face. He cleaned his face from the blood and grunted. He was infuriated at the little dragon. He was more powerful than Drum, but he couldn't deal with him despite the help of his friend.

Gao was much more powerful with his spells and it seemed to get stronger by the seconds.

The Great Fiend noticed that the hair of the boy seemed to unnaturally grew longer for a while and it worried him. It was the signs that the Future Force was activating. The monster knew that the boy didn't realise it yet.

Drum and his buddy passed the waterfall, followed by Ikazuchi who was ready to support his buddy.

The battle between the two monsters continued. They could feel their blood boiling and their awareness of their surrounding dropped. It didn't matter for them they fought in the cavern.

The walls and the ceiling of the cavern began to crack. The impact of the Great Fiend assault made the cavern shaking. The dragon katana also cut the walls and the ceiling when he missed the fiend.

The Omni Lord began to feel the exhaustion, but saw the other monster also panting. They were reaching their limits. He knew he had to put everything in his final attack if he wanted to end it all. He jumped in the air and avoided the claws of Yamigedo.

He took his change and charged forward, running on the arm of the Fiend. He refused to get thrown away and any spells that went in his way was nullified by Gao, "Yamigedo! Time to end this all!"

He swung his sword with everything he had and caused a large cut on the neck of the fiend.

"Yamigedo!" Ikazuchi yelled.

From his wound came out a massive quantity of blood. His carotid was ruptured.

"Drum? Will it work?" Gao worryingly asked, will Yamigedo do it?

"Come on. Do it," the red dragon said, knowing what will happen.

The fiend's body began to shine and in the matter of seconds, the giant monster was gone. There was a small black worm with the face of Yamigedo. It looked as if he took an SD form. The bleeding stopped and the wound seemed closed. Still, it was obvious that the Great Fiend lost a lot of its power.

The monster used his last defense skill to survive a mortal wound.

"Yamigedo?" the boy once again yelled for his friend.

"I'm alive," the monster replied, glaring hatefully at the red dragon.

"Yamigedo. Surrender now. There is no need to fight further. I refuse to fight further," the Omni Lord ordered as he gave up his offensive stance.

"You cannot fight any longer. Let's just end this," the Sun Fighter added.

Ikazuchi grunted as he gazed at his friend. The teenager knew it was over and had to accept defeat. He wouldn't risk their life, I'm sorry.

Gratos saw that the battle came to conclusion and raised his hands. He summoned his dark energy and prepared to act. There was a perfect opportunity for his plan to work, "Take master Yamigedo away," he gazed at Death Shido.

"Yes."

"And you girl. Get ready to get us out of here… To our other hideout," Gratos said.

Sofia remained on the side and nodded.

Shido thought, that hideout is a crazy location, he gulped at the thought of going there.

"That is a crazy place Shido. Didn't know you had that there. Sha. Sha," the darkness dragon nervously chuckled. He wasn't keen in that idea either.

The monster released his energy on the ceiling of the cavern. The cracked extended and soon, it began to collapse.

Drum heard the sound and grabbed his buddy, just before a rock felt on him, "Careful Gao! We have to get out of here now!"

Ikazuchi avoided one at the last second and searched for the Fiend around, "Yamigedo? Yamigedo!" he couldn't see where the monster was. He turned around and took a few steps deeper in the cavern when the ground began to cracked.

"Ikazuchi!" Gao took a step forward to help him.

There was another loud sound of energy released and the ceiling felt between the two boys. The red dragon came and destroyed many of those with his katana. He took one on the head and painfully grunted, "You're okay Gao?"

"Yes! But-"

"Gao! Drum! We have to evacuate now!" Takihara ordered as he came at the entrance of the cavern.

They looked at where Ikazuchi was. There was only a hole now and the boy was gone.

"Evacuate now!" Takihara ordered.

The two looked around and didn't see Yamigedo. They had to evacuate now. Gao hesitated to leave. The Omni Lord grabbed his buddy. He pulled the boy and went through the waterfall.

Meanwhile, Yamigedo was struggling against Death Shido with everything he had. He used everything. There was only despair in his heart, "Let me go! Ikazuchi needs my help! Human! Release me and safe my friend! Safe Ikazuchi now or I'll kill you!"

Gratos came, "Take us out of here Sofia," his gaze met his master, "Ikazuchi is gone. He didn't survive this cave fall."

"N-no," his thought went back at his promise. He began to release tears. He felt like everything was collapsing in him. The boy, his only friend, the only one he could truly trust. The one who suffered by the Omni Lords as much as him. The one which he shared happiness was dead just like that, I promised I would protect you… But… We went back in here. I knew it was dangerous and- no… It's all my fault. No… I killed you. I'm sorry. "IKAZUCHI!"

Sofia teleported them elsewhere, leaving Ikazuchi behind.

In that last instant, before they vanished away, Gratos let out an internal grin, your usefulness reached its end Ikazuchi. You won't hold my master's back anymore.


Outside of the cavern, Gao looked down as he crossed his arms over his chest. The cave-in didn't allow anyone to return inside for now.

The boy sighed loudly as he felt the hand of his buddy on his shoulder, "We…"

"I know Gao. We couldn't arrest them," the red dragon sighed.

"Ikazuchi," the boy whispered.

Takihara came and said, "I know the mission went south in the end and Yamigedo managed to get out of here."

The Sun Fighter was quick to reply, "He wouldn't let Ikazuchi behind."

The Omni Lord nodded, "He wanted to help him, but someone prevented him to do so. I heard him yelling."

The man nodded, "Then his allies came and take their masters out of here, but didn't obey his order," he crossed his arms and wondered, "What is going on?" he shook his head, "Anyway, we have to give our report. We will find a way to get in this cavern. We are back to searching them once again."

The boy gazed at the sky. He felt like this ended up in a massive failure. They couldn't stop Yamigedo and someone died. He couldn't believe that the boy would survive that. He wanted everything to finally end, but it won't be the case.

Kazane came by his side, "Sorry. We couldn't help you in the end."

Drum nodded negatively, "Don't be… We… ended up fighting in here. We were too caught up in the fight," the dragon closed his eyes, "We didn't stop the Great Fiend. He will be back… furious."

Phoenix asked, "Is it about Ikazuchi?"

"Yes. His friend is gone and he'll be back," he closed his hands, "He will cause more destruction than before."

Card Burn commented, "I agree. His retaliation will be destructive when the time comes. We have to find him quickly."

"It's time to go now," Takihara said.


The group returned to base; the night began to come when the finished giving their report on how the mission went through.

Commander I listened to everything. They saw what happened until the moment the four continued their battle in the cavern. It was intense and they couldn't give the order for the two to return outside, as they were too caught up in the battle.

"Paruko. Did you notice anything suspicious during the mission?" Commander I asked.

"No. I didn't see anyone suspicious. Maybe someone sneak in the cavern or not," she sighed. She grabbed her forehead and cursed herself. It might be her fault.

"Takochu!" her buddy added as he showed his camera.

They watched once again and nothing stood out. The camera was focusing on the battle.

Demios noticed something and grunted, "I saw something!"

Paruko stopped the video.

"I don't see it now. Just… go back a little," the darkness dragon asked. The video went backward and when he noticed the thing he said, "There."

The image showed something entering inside the cavern. They could see a purple cape floating in the air, but nothing else.

"A monster went inside the cavern," Tasuku commented as he looked at it.

"I'm sorry," she apologised.

"I believe he waited for you to stop looking to come inside," Count Dawn said. He frowned as he looked more closely, "He was observing the battle. I don't know why he didn't help Yamigedo, but… Wait. I think I know who it is."

"Who?" Takihara and Stella asked at the same time.

"From that cape…First Knight of the Apocalypse, Gratos. The only demon that wasn't sealed with Yamigedo. He has returned to Earth to serve his master," the vampire Omni Lord said.

"There was a demon out there and you didn't tell us," Commander I grunted.

"It was long ago and I forgot about him. The last time I saw him was just after we sealed Yamigedo. He was hiding and took his chance to escape. After this, no signs of him. Some of us has been searching for him, but nothing," he resumed. He put his hand on his forehead and grunted, "He must have been waiting for a perfect opportunity to come back. Gratos is a dangerous monster. He is as intelligent as he is powerful," he gazed at everyone, "A direct confrontation against him is to be avoided, unless you aren't alone."

"We're sorry Commander I. We should have been faster and-" Gao was cut by his buddy.

"We couldn't buddy. I think Gratos made sure we couldn't save Ikazuchi. During our battle, the cavern has been damaged, but my instinct didn't tell me that it would fall. It wasn't until something happened," the red dragon frowned.

The other Omni Lord nodded, "I believe he wants Ikazuchi out of the way. Gratos is loyal to his master, but he has free will, compared to others."

Stella nodded, "So he could do something on his own."

Tasuku frowned, "And with Ikazuchi gone… you think Yamigedo will be back stronger?"

"You mean like vengeance?" Demios asked. He got a positive answer and nodded, "Yes. We should expect his vengeance to be… bloody."

Everyone was quiet.

They spoke for a while about what the next course of action shall be. It was back to square one for Takihara who suggested to search for the Great Fiend once again. He was interrupted by his buddy this time.

"I suggest we bring some extra help from my world. Maybe some heroes can grant us with some gears to help us locate Yamigedo. He is going to attack us. His servants are also teleporting around with spells. A triangulation might be appropriate if they went at another country."

Commander I nodded, "I'll contact the Prime Minister immediately. She will enter in contact with the leader of your world."

Tasuku added, "And we still have to find the last Omni Lords."

"We need all of their power combined to seal the Great Fiend once and for all."

Gao and Drum gazed down, as their grandpa dragon had another plan. Still, it might be necessary to subdue The Great Fiend for a while. They made no protest.

After this, everyone returned to their home to get some rest.


Gao and Drum told the family what happened and were treated for their wounds. The dragon noticed that his buddy was trying to hold back something. The Omni Lord knew his friend was upset with how the mission ended.

After this, they dined together while they finished telling their stories. His parents paled as they heard what happened to the other boy. It was clear that it could also have been their son or Drum who died. The two had to calm the parents down with their concerns, just in case they might second guess them continuing the battle against Yamigedo. It wasn't the case as they asked them to be extra careful.

Once it was done, they took a bath and went to bed.

The Fifth Omni Lord took off his new armor and said, "It wasn't a big success."

Gao changed himself and sighed loudly, "Ikazuchi… We couldn't help him or stop Yamigedo," his lightly shivered, "I-"

"Gao. Gratos could have killed you if you tried again," the dragon repeated in his SD form. He jumped on the bed watched his buddy walking left and right.

"I know but-" the boy grunted and gazed at the window. He watched the clear sky, "I just wanted to stop everything right now."

"Me too Gao. Still, I wouldn't forgive myself if I lost you buddy," he insisted.

The Sun Fighter sat on the bed, but was still upset.

Damn. I have to put an Axia myself now, he thought. The red dragon stood up and hugged the boy and grumbled, "Don't get use to it."

"I won't," the boy replied. It was weird that his buddy was actually doing that. Gao closed his eyes and lightly chuckled, I worried him that much, "Sorry Drum. I… I couldn't do more," he took a deep breath, "We still need to stop Yamigedo."

"Yeah. Gao… We need to find the Cavalry Dragons starting tomorrow. I'm sure we will need their help if we want to stop Yamigedo and accomplish grandpa Tenby wish," the red dragon said as he jumped back on the bed.

The Sun Fighter nodded as he went to bed with his buddy, "It's not over yet," he sighed. He wondered what would happen now.

The red dragon also wondered how they could hold their promise to Tenbu.


A boy was walking away from the Buddy Police Forces as they were trying to enter in the remaining of the cavern after it cave in. The boy painfully grunted as he grabbed his wounded arm. He almost lost his balance when his left leg lost strength, Yamigedo. Where are you? He barely remembered what happened when the cave collapsed. He heard the voice of his buddy ordering someone to save him. No one came. Another voice made sure of that.

On his belt, he gazed at his deck case. It was damaged and cracked. He did try to use a buddy skill and it didn't work. He tried to take out a spellcard, but it couldn't come out. He was on his own.

Ikazuchi grunted as he braced the pain. He survived much worse. He had to go somewhere. The best place where he could find his friend again. Tokyo, I will not fall!
