Gao had returned home for two days and with everything that happened, he wasn't certain how he should feel about it. Tasuku went to the future and found his buddy and Demios decided to stay with them.

He put his hand on his back as he gazed by the window. He saw his mother entering in the car and driving somewhere.

"Your mom has been busy for a while," Drum commented as he put his armor.

"Yeah," he sighed.

Doble opened the door and replied, "Of course she is busy. She came late on the day you were searching for Miseria."

Melgax came and slapped the snout of the orange dragon, "That is not a way to say it."

"So, she is hiding something?" The Omni Lord wondered as he scratched his jaw.

"I don't think so," the boy replied. He fully trusted his mother, "If she is busy with something, it must be important. I know she will tell us when she is ready," he climbed off the bed and changed up with his Sun Fighter attire, "And I'm sure you know what's going on too Doble."

The dragon in question gasped before he nodded, "Y-yes. I was with her bringing the groceries."

"You were helping. That's adorable," Melgax snickered.

"S-shut up!" Doble was flustered, "She's a good human okay!"

Mizaru came as he ate something, "Sure, but you aren't the type to propose yourself for such simple task as getting the groceries. I bet it was because she offered something as a little bonus for your help, right?"

"Y-yeah!" he crossed his arms and turned around. He prepared to retreat when the green dragon held him back by the tail.

"And maybe you should share us what you know. We are Cavalry Dragons and our Omni Lord is right here," he asked.

Gao sighed. He let out a nervous smile, "It's okay. It's okay. Mom will tell me eventually."

Doble sighed in relief when the gray dragon pulled his cheeks, "Ouch!"

"And what did you get as a little reward? Maybe I'll help her next time," he demanded.

"S-shut up!" he slapped the gray hands away and retreated.

Drum crossed his arms and grumbled, "They are acting like kids," he gazed at the side, "Or my dad," he put his hands on his cheeks after he thought back. He wondered if he was okay and what was going on in Dragon World.


Episode 42: The Symmetry obsessed one

Shido and Sofia waited for Gratos to manifest himself. Gallows came and yawned, "It's hard to stay up today."

"Yeah," the two humans grumbled at him.

"Come on Sha! I'm not trying to be mean for once and you act like I was mean!" the darkness dragon whined.

"You are here," Gratos said as he approached them.

The boy stood a little in front of his friend. He remembered well the experience she went through with that second in command of the Hundred Demons. He wouldn't let him had a chance to try anything on his watch. He hid everything else by hiding his expressions.

"Yes. We are ready for the next mission," Sofia replied, as if she never went through it.

Gallows thought that she was really good at it. He heard about it too and he couldn't believe he stopped saying Sha in that future. He wouldn't let it happen.

"You will have two missions for today. If we cannot kill an Omni Lord, we will obtain some extra help in the long run," the skeleton demon took out a small vial. It seemed it was made of melted bones or something like that. It also had the mark of the Hundred Demons, "With this, you will collect the bloods of the Omni Lords. The blood will be useful if we want to crush them hard. If you fail to kill them, bring back some of their blood. We can afford to fail our assassination attempt now," he chuckled.

The trio wondered why they could fail now and why the demon wanted some blood of the monsters.

Shido grabbed it, "Ready to attack when you order."

"Here's the demon you will use for the attack. Remember to collect a sample of an Omni Lord blood. If you kill him, it will be a nice bonus," Gratos turned around and walked away.

The boy looked at it and turned toward his friend, "Let's go."

"I have a plan already," she replied as they teleported away.


Inside the Mikado houses, the dragons were eating breakfast. They had a large appetite as they enjoyed everything the old woman prepared for them. Gao was eating with them and checked on Halbert and his young sister, "How's it going?"

The Thunder Knight replied, "I finished my training with Suzumi. The pain has come to an end, but I need to better myself. I will still train when I'm at home and my buddy is safe."

Hanako replied, "I'm glad this is over. He got hurt a few times and I was worried he might not get it."

"A human gave you trouble?" Melgax asked a little confused. He never saw that woman and he was a little nervous of what that human might do if she was in a bad mood.

"Her martial art is one specially made to fight against stronger and bigger opponents. The Mikado fighting art is made for counter-attack. It's not for attacking first. It is an interesting way," the red dragon replied.

Doble chuckled as he took a large bite, "I saw a little of it and she is very skillful. I cannot believe she is that good."

Gao explained, "Our martial art is made to protect anyone in need. We are not here to attack or beat anyone. I learned everything from mom to protect myself and the others if they are in trouble," he let out a small smile, "And made sure I won't ever bully anyone."

"Mom will teach me one day," Hanako replied.

Halberd was drinking and coughed everything, "She… she better not be too harsh on you. You just began," he cleaned his face and looked at Mizaru, "S-sorry."

Doble sighed and looked at Drum, "I also have a message for you Drum. I met with another Cavalry Knight with Suzumi and he wants to meet you. I guess he is ready to challenge you as an Omni Lord."

Drum frowned, "Who is he and what's his challenge?"

"Merak. I don't know what his challenge is, but he wants you to meet it at the studio where they made those shows on TV," he pointed at it. The orange dragon finished his meal, "When the sun reaches it's zenith," he gave a piece of paper where it had the message the dragon said.

The Omni Lord took it and read the message.

"We still have time," Gao commented. It was still early in the morning. Still, he gulped when he realised that school day was beginning today, "But I can't be with you. School is back."

His buddy nodded and replied, "I will handle it Gao. There is nothing to worry about. The others can handle a demon while I'm accepting his challenges. I will go early," he jumped from his chair when he was done with one large gulp, "Can't afford to be late at all. Merak might begin his challenge right now."

Gao nodded, "Okay. Be careful."

"Don't worry. Focus on your school," the dragon waved at him. He walked away.

The three Cavalry Dragons gazed at each other's. They were uncertain if everything would be alright.

Doble sighed, "Merak won't do anything dangerous… Too dangerous."

"He isn't you. It's not something to worry around," Mizuru replied. He finished his meal and jumped down from the chair, "I'll train for now."

The other dragons nodded.

Doble and Melgax looked at each other's quietly. They both finished what they had to eat as the others left the kitchen. They were the last one who finished eating.

"We're going dad!" Gao said with his sister and her buddy.

"Good day you three!" Takashi replied.

The two dragons remained on the table.

"Doble. Drum is a great warrior and I believe he has great potential to be an Omni Lord," the green dragon crossed his arms and wondered how the hotheaded dragon would reply.

"Yeah. He has a lot of potential, many Tenbu saw in him. I won't ever admit it to his face and let him get a huge ego."

"At least. He isn't always trying to charm a lady."

They let out a depressive chuckled as they jumped off the chair. Melgax gazed down and adjusted his hat, "He stopped me from losing against myself you know."

"R-really? You almost went…"

"Yeah. Against that damn demon. If he managed to stop me from taking the wrong path, maybe he can turn Tenbu's final wish into fruition."

"We have to be certain of it," Doble adjusted his mane and they walked into the living room.


Drum walked towards his destination. He was a little nervous about failing the challenge, but pushed himself to be confident. He raised his head and marched forward; I wonder who he is and what he might do? His pacing lightly accelerated as the sun kept climbing in the sky. He still had a lot of time to worry and calm down.

"I wish you were with me Gao," he commented. He already managed to do once on his own. At least, he didn't hide anything from his buddy. He yelped when someone jumped at him.

"Surprise hug!" Axia commented as he rubbed his cheeks on the red cheek of his friend.

"A-Axia! Enough," he whined nervously and with a bit of shame. Many people were looking at them.

"You seemed a little nervous and I came to cheer you up Drumkin!" the blue dragon replied. He gazed at his buddy who kept going to school, "Something must be up if you aren't with Gao. I'll keep you company," he winked at him.

Drum managed to escape the grasp of his friend and jumped away. He played with his claws and replied, "T-thanks," he didn't forbid to bring anyone to watch the challenge. Still, I'm glad you're here Axia.

They marched together in the city. The blue dragon playfully asked, "And where are you going on your own?" his playful tone was gone when he said next, "Because you are on your own early with everything going on in the city."

"Yeah. I am going to meet one of the Cavalry Dragons. He wants to meet me when the sun is at the Zenith for a challenge. I don't know what it is and Gao has to return to school," he replied.

"Summer vacation is over. I heard they have like two months in America," he tapped his blue cheek as he commented that.

"And the began school at the end of summer. It's really weird," the Omni Lord grumbled.

"Do you need help or you want me to cheer you up Drumkin?" he let out a large smile.

"Cheer me up," he seriously replied, before jumping in the air when the other dragon tried to hug him. He landed on a street lamp and chuckled, "You missed this time."

"Darn it," Axia grumbled as he stood up.

They continued on their way to the meeting location.

The duo stopped when they were close to the entrance and gazed up.

"A TV studio?" Axia asked before pointing at it, "Why would he ask you for a duel here Drumkin? It's a weird place. Maybe he wants to publicly hug you," his eyes shined darkly, "Something bad will happen to him when I put a curse-"

"The Cavalry Dragons are not about that. They would most likely punch me rather than hug me. Especially Doble," he crossed his arms and gazed at the side, thinking about the annoying orange dragon. It didn't happen often, but he liked to give his new Omni Lord some snarky comments.

"Okay!" Axia was back to normal.

"We should wait a little. We are way early," Drum commented as he tapped the ground with his feet, "Not even sure if we can enter without trouble."

"I say we go inside and get a nice spot for us. Unless he meant on the roof," he pointed upward.

"He might be there, or not. He didn't specify. We'll wait on the roof and we watch the entrance. I don't know what he looks like, but he is a dragon," he suggested his friend.

The two jumped on the roof. Drum realised his mistake when the other one hugged him by surprise. He had no escape as they had to wait. He whined loudly, which made his friend giggled.

Unbeknown to them, Shido and Gallows were watching the two.

"Same as always with them. Sha. Sha," the darkness dragon chuckled.

"You want to be at Drum places?" the boy asked.

"I rather die," he replied.

"Anyway. They are waiting for something. Think they want to ambush us?" Shido asked.

"Nope. It's obviously because they are waiting for someone. If that someone come at the bad time, we might end up with three of them fighting our demon and 'Death Shido'," he replied.

Sofia joined them and replied, "It's best to see who's the other enemy. Gao isn't with him, so it is the perfect chance to strike."

The other two nodded and waited.


After a few hours, the sun was slowly reaching its zenith. The two dragons gazed at the sun and after this, searched for any dragons who might wander around.

"The Cavalry Dragon will show up soon," Drum commented as he scratched his chin. He searched for a while with his buddy by his side.

Axia nodded and looked around. He stopped hugging his friend and focused on the task.

It wasn't long before they saw a dragon in his SD form walking inside the building at the same time.

"He's there!" the two pointed at him.

"Let's go," the Omni Lord decided as he jumped down and followed by his buddy. They went inside the TV studio.

The dragons were inside and searched for the Cavalry Dragon. Their eyes scanned the entrance and saw the dragon nodded at a woman and walking deeper inside.

The red dragon quickly ran towards the lady and asked, "Excuse me miss. Do you know who he is?"

The human nodded and replied, "Yes. He is a monster who helped us for a few days. He said that another monster would come soon."

"That's him!" Axia suddenly said as he hugged the dragon.

The woman was a little suspicious.

Drum took out the message he got. He offered it to the woman and hoped it would prove it was him, "There. Axia is a friend who came with me, if you wonder why I'm not alone."

"Good. Welcome and don't touch anything or interrupt anyone please," she asked.

The two dragons ventured deeper in the building. The dragons followed the scent of the Cavalry Dragon. They ignored the stage the passed through and avoided to interrupt anything important.

Axia took the lead and stopped a few times to observe the studio with a smile, "This is where they made the shows on TV. It is beautiful to see how it is outside of the screen."

"Not really beautiful, but interesting," he admitted as he saw the cameras and everything to use the stage they had to its limit.

They looked around and noticed that one stage was unused. The dragons knew that the dragon who challenged the Omni Lord was waiting for him.

"He is there. I'm ready," the red dragon said.

The blue dragon nodded, "I'll support you the best way I can Drumkin," he winked at his friend as they entered inside.

The two dragons went in there and looked around. They searched for the dragon. They remembered that he had blue scales, but didn't see anything else better.

"You came Fifth Omni Lord," a dragon said.

"Yes. I came with my friend. I came to accept your challenge. Whatever it is, I will overcome it," Drum declared as he clenched his small claws.

The two saw a dragon landing in front of them. The blue dragon gazed at the duo.

The blue dragon had three black horns, one on his forehead and two at the side of his head and pale pink hair. He wore a white armor over his scales with white boots, white bracelets with black clothing on his forearms. He had a spear with two blue pointing spikes.

"Are you the Cavalry Knight?" Axia asked.

"Fifth Omni Cavalry Dragon, Ice Lance Merak," Merak answered. He pointed his claw at the other blue dragon, "And who are you?"

"Thanks for asking me," Axia blushed and wiggled his tail, "I am Dragowizard, Qinus Axia. You aren't as adorable than Drum thought," he commented.

Merak grumbled as he gazed at the side. It reminded him of a weird encounter he had before he followed Tenbu. He ignored that part as it seemed that the Omni Lord was the victim and not himself. He considered himself lucky when he saw the blue dragon trying to hug Drum, "Anyway. I asked you to come here because I will challenge you in one thing."

Drum ducked when Axia passed over him and replied, "Ready when you are."

"However, why is that dragon with you?"

"Axia is my friend and he was wondering why I wasn't with my buddy. Gao has school day and he couldn't be with me," the red dragon replied.

"So, I am his buddy for now," the dragon wizard replied jokingly, which made the other dragon face completely red instead of red and orange.

"Poor you," the Cavalry Dragon commented to the Omni Lord. He returned back to the topic, "As long as he doesn't help you, I don't mind it. I know you already convinced three of my brethren that you are an Omni Lord, but with me, I am more curious about your mind."

"What is the challenge? A mind games?"

"No. I didn't mean that way Drum. What I meant was what is going on in your mind. I'm sure Doble and Mizaru already tested your prowess in battle," he stopped and asked, "Did they?"

"Yes. And for Melgax, it was to avoid losing his calm when facing the demon who ruined his life," the Omni Lord resumed.

"I… see," he gazed down. He knew enough about Melgax to know what truly hurt him. None of them ever bragged about their suffering as few could compare to losing many of your own family, "Did he find peace?"

"When he will be judge. The demon obviously."

"You didn't tell me about it," Axia pouted, but didn't mind it.

"Sorry. We were gone for a while and we came back recently. I didn't see you until today," he apologised.

"My challenge now," he brought back to the subject and hoped it would remain for good. He raised his claw, "I want to test your kind spirit. You will help everyone in the studio as a servant."

A human passed and replied, "It's not what we are called."

"I meant that way because it's clear," Merak grumbled.

"I know. Thanks for the extra help," the human left them on their own.

"You might become an Omni Lord, but that title shouldn't get over your head. Your duty is to protect all the worlds from any dangers, regardless if you like this world or not. It includes Darkness Dragon World."

"Of course," Drum said with a little bit of difficulty.

You're so cool Drum, Axia thought as his best friend changed that much thanks to Tenbu.

"I will test your helpful soul for three days. You will work here and do any chores they ask of you. They agreed since they are short on staff for those three days, before the regular workers come back from their vacations," he told him, "Even if you think this task is inferior to your status, then know that everything we do is important."

"I'm ready," the Omni Lord replied without hesitations.

Merak smiled, "Good answer. Let's begin."

"What's the first thing-" Axia stopped in his question as an explosion echoed in the studio.

The three dragons looked around and wondered what was happening.


The moment Death Shido went into the studio, the demon suddenly came out of the card.

A green biped drake with a serpentine face, amber eyes and a long green tail looked around the studio. He wore black shoulder plates, black plates on his knee and around his waist, a helmet with large plates pointing behind his head and two perfectly identical sword. His name was Mediator Botis. He was a drake who loved something to the level of obsession. He grunted as he commented, "What is this place? It is so disgusting. Nothing is symmetrical at all!"

Death Shido asked, "W-what are you doing? We have a-"

Botis looked at the bricks and grunted, "This is not symmetrical!"

"We have a crackpot of a demon on our shoulders Shido," the darkness dragon commented before making a few sha.

"Mediator Botis. We are here to fight an Omni Lord," the boy tried to give an order, but was ignored.

The demon cut a door in two, "Now! It is symmetrical!"

The people witnessed them and began to panic. They turned around and began to run away. They dispersed and a few of them called the Buddy Police Forces.

Death Shido quickly searched for a way to make the demon obey his command. They couldn't just fail because the demon had problem with anything non-symmetric. He scratched his cheek, "Any idea Gallows?"

"Well. Just listen to him and you might get the idea," the dragon suggested.

The boy sighed as he watched the demon cutting a few things in half and complaining about not being symmetrical. He groaned at how obvious it was, "Botis. We are hunting the Omni Lords. They are monsters who despise anything symmetrical. They are the source of all of this!"

The demon stopped and his red yes shined and grunted, "What?"

"Yes. The Omni Lords are the source of those on this world. Yamigedo wants us to hunt them down," he went on.

"Where are they?" the demon wanted to know.

"Right here demon," Drum said as he took his real form and grabbed his sword.

Botis gazed at the Omni Lord and grunted, "Such… non-symmetrical body! You are so ugly. Disgusting!" he pointed his blade at the Omni Lord who took offense out of it.

Axia pouted, "You should watch your words. Because my Drumkin-"

"You are as ugly as him!"

The blue dragon took his real form and pointed his staff at the demon. He then said in a demonic voice, "Want to die? You can just politely ask for it."

Drum took a few steps to the right as he noticed the dark aura of his friend.

Merak came, holding his spear and stopped when he saw the demon. Flash of memories came through him from before he became a Cavalry Dragon, "Botis?"

"You know that freak?" Axia asked.

"Yes. He is a demon who likes anything symmetrical to that… weird point. No… It's worse than before," the blue warrior replied. He pointed his claw at him, "He would never destroy anything asymmetrical."

The blue dragon asked, "Is he your friend?"

"Yes. Yamigedo took my f- kinda friend," the Cavalry Dragon replied as he summoned his lance, "Stopping him won't change the challenge Drum."

"I won't complain. We have to stop this demon right now before he hurts anyone," Drum yelled, "Hey demon! You think you can just destroy things because they aren't-"

"He's the Omni Lord who convinced humans to make things not symmetric!" Death Shido quickly yelled.

"Hum… What?" the Omni Lord said before dodging the blade at the last second. He yelped and blocked the next attack with his long katana blade. He grunted as he resisted the demon, "You sure are a fanatic," he winced as he received a kick in the gut and took a few steps back.

Axia was in his realm form and swung his staff and released electricity at the demon. He missed the target a few times and blocked swords coming at him, "Damn."

"You aren't symmetrical. Just ugly!" Botis said.

The next second, Axia suplex the demon on the ground and yelled, "Don't say that word again!"

The demon was stuck on the ground. He tried to free himself and after a few seconds, freed himself. He stood on his feet and avoided the staff coming at him.

Merak summoned his lance and charged. He tried to strike a few times and didn't hit the demon. He didn't hesitate to strike. He avoided at the demon when a shield appeared and blocked his attack. He gazed at the human who casted his spell, before dodging the blades. He avoided a few attacks.

"You…" Botis stopped, "You are symmetrical."

"Not this again," he whined. He cut the demon loudly, "Yes. My eyes are symmetrical somehow! Yes, my butts also are, so keep your hands away from me!"

The others and the humans witnessing it turned towards the blue dragon warrior.

"Merak?" Drum asked the blue dragon.

"Awesome!" Botis joyfully replied.

"That wasn't something I need to know from you. I don't mind Drumkin thought," Axia let out a small smile.

"Axia!" the red dragon replied in shame.

Merak frowned, ignoring his shame, "Botis. Do you remember me?"

"Hum? First time I saw you."

The Cavalry Dragon decided to continue the battle, "Then know this. I am the servant of the Omni Lords. Protector of the Omni Lord of Dragon World," he jumped backward.

"Then you are shaming yourself in hating symmetry!" the demon yelled as he attacked the blue dragon.

The dragon blocked everything with his lance and nothing passed his guard. He ducked one slash coming for his next, but it went over him. He spun and gave a low kick, breaking the drake balance. He followed with another kick, but was blocked. Merak jumped away and avoided more attacks.

Drum charged with his weapon and slashed from behind, but it bounced on a darkness dragon shield. He grunted with a bit of annoyance. He slashed another time and just scratched the magic shield.

Axia casted a few spells. He tried to electrocute the demon, but missed the target. He charged and tried to get physical. He knew he wasn't that great, but wasn't that predictable. He was blocked by the blade and let out a small smirk.

"What is it?" Botis grumbled.

Merak kicked the face of the demon and sent him away. He followed with a punch on the chest of his enemy. He pushed him away and prepared his next attack. He used his lance, but was blocked by the sword. He blocked more attacks, but one passed through his defense and felt the blade passing through his chest.

The three dragons attacked the drake at the same time, but a spell came and they had to jump away. The dragons slid on the ground as they looked at each other's. They knew they had to coordinate together.

"Any plan?" the magical dragon joyfully asked as if they weren't in a dangerous fight.

The Cavalry Dragon was taken aback by the sudden shift of mood and looked at the Omni Lord.

Drum frowned as he prepared to slash, "Axia. Can you just distract Death Shido a little? We will take care of this here," he charged.

The weapons collided as the two dragons tried to overpower the demon and restrained him.

Axia charged towards the human and aimed with his staff.

"I'll handle this Shido," Gratos told him.

The boy felt the armor taking control of him and quietly sighed, "Fine."

The darkness dragon controlled his buddy by the armor. He avoided the staff coming at them quickly. He made his buddy jumped backward and blocking an attack coming at him, "He hits hard."

The blue dragon casted a spell and almost shocked Death Shido, but missed at the last second. He didn't let go and continued his offensive at the human who had quick reflexes and was stronger than he expected.

Meanwhile, the other two dragons charged at the dragon. Their weapons missed the demon and their next moves were blocked.

Drum grunted when he was slashed on his side and blood came out. It felt on the ground and let out a small pool.

Death Shido saw this and quickly charged to it. He grabbed a strange vial with a skull face on it. He grabbed the blood with the vial and closed it, before putting it back in his armor.

Axia noticed it as he chased the human, uncertain what was that and why. He didn't like this at all.

Meanwhile, Botis jumped away and followed by another one and went in a studio. The two followed them in there.

"More non-symmetry items!" the demon furiously yelled when he kicked a chair that wasn't put at symmetry from another chair and threw a table at the dragons, "I can't stand this mess!"

He charged with his weapons and slashed the two dragons. The Omni Lord ducked and prepared his long katana and slashed with everything he had. He put more strength than usual. His attack was blocked, but he broke the balance of the enemy.

Merak charged and kicked the back of the demon. He followed up by hitting the side of the demon with the handle of his lance. He used his tail to trap the legs of Botis and made him fall on the ground.

The battle went on between the three as many objects in the stage were destroyed and damaged. The Cavalry Dragon charged and managed to finally disarm the demon. He followed up with a spin kick on the chest of the demon.

Drum charged quickly and followed up with a slash on the chest, giving a non-symmetric wound.

"D-damn you! This isn't symmetric at all!" the demon pulled a tantrum.

Merak appeared by the side of the monster and hit the skull, "Enough with this my friend. You will be saved eventually," the demon was unconscious on the ground. He sighed a little sadly, "We have to restrain him and get someone to seal him."

"Yeah. It went on quickly at least. No civilians have been hurt," the red dragon gazed at the people working in the studio.

Death Shido saw that the battle was over and teleported away with a card.

Axia stopped and panted, "D-damn!" He hit the ground with his staff and told the others, "He got away."

"It's okay… For now. We stopped the demons," the Omni Lord replied as he sighed in relief.

The humans were now applauding the dragons who stopped the demon from destroying the studio and hurting anyone. The three gazed at them and didn't know how to react.

"We are here to stop the bad monster yo!" Tetsuya came in with Asmodai. They saw that the demon was on the ground and three dragons were looking at him and his Omni Lord buddy.

"And we are too late my friend," the pink demon commented.

"Ahhhh. And we would have a cool fight in a studio," he sighed. He approached them and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Thanks for asking," Drum let out a small smirk, as they didn't ask that first. He added, "Yeah. The demon has been defeated, but we fought in here and not in a field."

"Okay," Asmodai quickly understood as he took out the cuff, "We should arrest him and bring him to the Buddy Police Station. We need to find out if he has a buddy or not."

The boy quickly understood as it was public, "Okay yo. We will bring him there. Come with us. We have a few things to ask all of you."


At the end of the day, Drum sat on a chair with Axia hugging him, to his annoyance, and Merak sitting in front of them. They waited for Gao to come as they finished giving their testimony and report.

"He is a hugger hum?" the Cavalry Dragon asked.

"Yeah. My friend is that way," the red dragon whined in annoyance.

Axia giggled, "Drumkin is my buddy."

"Gao is my buddy Axia," he gazed at his friend.

"I'll tell you about Botis another time. Thanks for helping him," he told them.

"No problem Merak," his tail tapped on the chair a few times as he managed to pushed his friend away.

"That doesn't change that the challenge is still on," he pointed his claw at the Omni Lord.

"I know. I'll do anything. I can to prove myself in your eyes. I have to protect my friends and this world… And for Tenbu," he gazed at the door when his buddy came.

"Drum!" the Sun Fighter came with him.

The group talked a little as they said what happened. It was a repeat of the report and the testimony they got.


Meanwhile, Doble followed Suzumi as they walked inside the hospital.

"You know the other dragons might wonder what is going on between the two of us," the orange dragon commented.

"Sorry for asking you to keep this," she replied.

"I got those marks on my cheeks because that stupid dragon pulled them like no end," he grumbled.

"Not too loud in the hospital," Gao's mother told him.

"Sorry. Anyway, I really hope the special treat you got me. Still… you sure it's a good idea? I know it's what he wants but-"

"Yes. I believe in him and what he told us Doble," she let out a small smile as they reached the chamber where they were heading. They opened the door and inside, there was a boy resting on a bed with a tube on his mouth. The beeping of the machine that read the heartbeat echoed in the room. It was Ikazuchi who was unconscious.

"He is a tough boy," Suzumi sadly said. The last time she saw a boy his age in the hospital, was her oldest son before he died, "And we have to watch over him."

"Don't worry. I'll stay quiet as long as you need too," Doble replied.


Two Days Ago

Doble and Suzumi were bringing back the groceries. They walked on the sidewalk, near the park.

"You are right Miss. Those chocolate bars are delicious!" he gulped another one and chuckled. He gazed at her and asked, "It was worthy it saying yes to you."

"True. I'm sure every-" she stopped when someone came out of the bushes.

There was a teenage boy and he was deeply founded. He had many bruises and a few cuts that barely began to heal up, "G-give me that," he weakly ordered as he pointed at the bags.

The woman put them on the arms of the dragon who yelped, "H-hey!"

"You need to go to the hospital you know Ikazuchi," she told him.

"H-how?"

"Ika-what now?" Doble yelled as he heard that name from his Omni Lord.

The boy charged at the woman and tried to punch her. Suzumi dodged and with one hit, knocked him out on the ground.

The woman took out her cellphone and called an ambulance. Once she was done, she closed it, "Doble. Please, keep this a secret from the others. I'll explain everything."

The orange dragon grumbled before looking at her, "Tenbu told us to listen to you. You are… a part of this plan."

The woman nodded and explained more what was going on, until a crowed was forming around them. They only dispersed when the ambulance showed up.


Present Time

Suzumi let out a small smile, "Thanks."
