Suzumi watched her son and the three new dragons who came into her home. She wasn't expecting that many dragons to add up. Neither that one of them wasn't a Cavalry Dragon. She focused on preparing diner.
Buzzsaw was obviously feeling like he didn't belong there, as he often glanced at the door.
"I'm glad you have been freed," Gao told the dragon.
"Yeah," the dragon gazed at the side as he gazed at them, "It's good to have my mind free once again. Still, you didn't have to take me here. I could have return to Dragon World."
"Nonsense, we have a lot to catch up," Arkaid replied as she tapped the lap of her friend she made long ago.
"Hahahaha! She is right. You saved her when she was young and thanks to you, we met," Fuad replied.
Buzzsaw noticed how close his friend and that dragon was. He crossed his arms, "And who are you?"
"Fuad. Arkaid is my mate," the dragon chuckled loudly.
"Fuad is very not discreet about it," Merak commented with a bit of annoyance in his voice. He gazed at the side, "He can talk about it for an entire day if you don't interrupt him."
A dark aura came out of the ex-demon, "Oh. I hope you treat her well Fuad."
Doble chuckled, "Now that is a funny face," he pointed at the distort face of the dragon, "Can see why she wanted to save you that much."
"There is no need to worry. The two are glued together and Fuad does everything in his power to support and protect her," Meglax told him as he took a sip of his tea.
"Welcome in our house you three," Hanako told them with a smile.
"Thank you," two of them replied.
Buzzsaw nodded nervously, "T-t-thanks," he never had been treated well, except for Arkaid. Still, he knew he didn't belong here, "I should make my leave soon."
The female dragon grabbed his wrist, "You don't have to do. After so long, there is much more to talk."
"And I don't mind if you are here," Suzumi told them from the kitchen.
"The house is extremely lively lately with each of you here. I can't believe so many dragons live here like that," Halberd commented as he stretched his muscles.
Drum chuckled, "And as an Omni Lord, I tell you that you are welcome here. So, you have no excuse to leave like that."
"Don't speak that mighty yet. There is still one dragon to find," Mizaru told him.
Doble approached his Omni Lord and pressed his finger on the snout, "Yeah. You are an Omni Lord, but that doesn't make you that almighty."
The red dragon slapped the finger away from his snout, "I know. I just want to ease him."
Buzzsaw grinned at them, "If you don't mind then. You are right, there is a lot to catch up since Yamigedo took me under control. I'm asked myself many things. How did you become such a powerful warrior?"
"There is a lot to that. I'll tell you," Arkaid smiled.
"I have all my time then," the purple dragon sighed. He crossed his legs and listened to everything that happened as their path had been separated.
Episode 46: The Fourth Omni Lord
Shido and Gallows searched for the small red dragon they collected blood yesterday and the others that were with him. The boy wondered who might actually be the Omni Lord between those three dragons. He wasn't certain.
"I guess they knew about us collecting blood. Sha. Sha. Sha," the darkness dragon chuckled in a serious tone. He crossed his arms and went on, "They want us to get the wrong monster and win some time. Still, we know who they might be. Sha. Sha."
"It won't be easy. We tried once and they are going to be on their guard," Shido checked on the next demon he got. He was nervous as something might go wrong this time. They were lucky they weren't in trouble.
"Anyway, Sofia didn't find anything and I don't care about Davide at all," Gallows crossed his arms and his purple eyes lightly shined as he went to get something to eat, "I'm hungry."
"Didn't eat this morning either," Shido sighed as his stomach grumbled.
Meanwhile, Tetsuya and Asmodai walked together as they checked their surrounding. The boy was on his guard with everything going on.
"You sure everything will be okay yo? They are after your blood too," the boy said.
The pink demon chuckled and showed his muscles, "There is nothing to worry about. I regain my full power as an Omni Lord and it won't be that easy for them," he accelerated his pacing a little and danced a little.
The boy gazed at him, not reassured at all. That blank face made his buddy nervously chuckled, "Are you hiding something again?"
"No. I have nothing to hide anymore," the monster replied as he put his hand on his forehead. He knew he had to pay a price for lying to his buddy.
"Good," Tetsuya smiled. He did a few moves, "And I'm sure we will be lucky and stop them before they use your bloods for anything bad yo."
"That's true," Asmodai replied as he crossed his arms, "Anyway, we need to find the Fourth Omni Lords. I'm sure he was the one Drum and Gao encountered. I wonder how we will tell Ban Emna about it."
"Another one lying to his buddy," the boy sighed.
"Unless he is like Ziun and forget it," the pink demon replied.
"It's good that Ziun finally remembered everything."
"That right. Still, I'm glad you weren't in the village and saw that mess. I saw a few of the pictures and it isn't pretty," the Omni Lord crossed his arms. He then sighed quietly before smiling at his buddy, "We will prevent anything else like what happened there."
"Still… Ikazuchi has a pretty good reason to try and get his revenge. He came there," the boy thought back.
"I still cannot believe one of us might have done anything like that," Asmodai grumbled quietly as he accelerated his pace a little.
Tetsuya nodded a few times as he did the same, "Hope we found what really happened there. Maybe we'll figure out why he helped Yamigedo."
"I'm wondering that too. The seal on his prison has been broken by someone of the outside. I'm also wondering why he was the only survivor," the monster seriously asked himself.
The boy wondered that too. Why someone had been left alive and witness everything?
"There he is," he pointed at a group of four dragons and a human among them.
"Should we go to them right now Tetsuya?" the pink demon asked as he put his hands in his pocket.
"We should go now. He isn't an enemy. We don't have to stalk him," he decided as he went towards them.
Ban Emna noticed them and wondered who they were, "Hello there," he waved cautiously.
"Yo! I'm Tetsuya and this is my buddy Asmodai."
"Yup," he replied with a thumb's up.
"Okay," the leader of the Hundred Demon Hunters replied.
"Of course, you find this weird," the boy with banana in his hair nervously chuckled, "I'm with the Buddy Police Force and a friend of Gao Mikado. I came here because of what happened yesterday," he told him.
The man knew he was telling the true, "I take your words for it. What do you want to know?" he crossed his arms.
The other dragons gazed at each other's. They weren't expecting that to happen the very next day.
Ricky was nervous as he played with his fingers. He knew he would be pointed and asked a few things.
"We know from Gao's report that you were attacked by Death Shido. He didn't bring back the demon despite that he sealed him."
"I broke the demon free of Yamigedo's control. The dragon went with them in the house. Seems like that female dragon knew about him and wanted to talk a lot about it," Ban Emna replied as he turned on the side.
His buddy jumped on the shoulders of his buddy and held the bike hands, "My buddy can do something like that."
Asmodai scratched his chin, "That's interesting."
Ricky asked, "And who are you?"
"Second Omni Lord, Asmodai. I am an Omni Lord and I know a lot about it. It's interesting to see what you can do," he let out a small smirk at the man.
The small orange dragon was even more nervous now. He knew that his friend might be busted, "Anyway! That's is interesting, but I don't like you smirk."
"I also have a few other things to ask. Do you know anything about the Death Shidos? We know they are two, but they always escaped before we could and it's really getting frustrated to watch them escape yo!" the boy grumbled as he gazed at the side.
"Don't worry about it. We failed to catch them too. If you need more demon to be freed, I can do it later," he put his thumb on his chest. Ban Emna chuckled as he put his hands on his waist.
"Thank you," Tetsuya bowed to him, "We still have more to ask. Do you notice any strange monsters around? We are still searching for the other Omni Lords and there seems to be a few clues pointing towards one of those monsters," he pointed at the four.
Ricky gulped. He remembered when he was attacked. He wished he prepared himself and played with his fingers. He avoided looking at them.
The three dragons wondered where this was going. They noticed the small one nervousness. They knew what would eventually come.
"I didn't notice any strange monsters. The Hundred Demons aren't bizarre for me. As for the Omni Lords, I think Drum is one of them. I didn't meet anyone standing out. Your friend did come and asked about it."
"We are thinking that Death Shido might attack you again if Ricky isn't the Omni Lord. They got some of his blood during the battle and-" Tetsuya was cut.
"You were bleeding?" Ban grabbed his buddy and looked in the eyes of the small dragon, "What happened to you?"
"Yeah. We want to know what happened," the three other dragons asked together as they approached the two.
"Euh… Yeah. I didn't tell you about this. It wasn't anything bad. They got some of my blood, but I'm not an Omni Lord," the orange dragon quickly waved his hands nervously before trying to gaze at the two Buddy Police Force Officers.
"Then they will definitely come back for you," Asmodai put his hand on his back and gazed at them, "One of you is going to be the next victim."
Ricky knew he had to be quick. He freed himself and grabbed the boy's hand, "Come with me you two! I have something to say!" he pulled Tetsuya away. The boy yelped as he was dragged away.
The Omni Lord smiled at the four who were just flabbergasted at the sudden thing that happened, "Sorry. We'll be back soon," he followed the two.
The Hundred Demon Hunters gazed at each other's and gasped a few times, trying to process what happened.
Ban Emna went after them with the others following suit.
The small orange dragon stopped and looked around. He then turned towards the boy and his buddy who came near them, "Okay. I'll tell you everything, but please, just let me finish before saying anything. Because this is something big. I'm… I'm very worried about what would happen and-"
"Back-up a little little one. Tell us what is going on first," Asmodai waved his hands and waited for the small dragon calmed down. He noticed that the monster seemed to reach the end of the story before even starting by the beginning.
Ricky took a deep breath and sighed loudly, "Y-yeah. I didn't say anything about it," he put his hands on his belly and gazed down. His stomach shined a little and the two could see the Omni Lord Emblem, "I'm not the Omni Lord… But I'm guarding his Omni Lord Emblem. Right now, the Fourth Omni Lord is hidden. His memories have been sealed inside of it. When he'll get his emblem, it will all come back. Still… I… I really want things to remain the same," he closed his eyes and wondered how he should keep going. He gulped.
"Don't worry yo. You can tell us everything. We won't put you in trouble," Tetsuya reassured him with a kind smile.
"T-thanks. There is more," he wondered how he should explain everything else he had to say. He decided to be direct, "The Omni Lord Emblem was inside of me because he wanted to live as a human for a while."
"Then it's Ban Emna," Asmodai replied as he scratched his chin. He grumbled a little as he gazed at where they left the group.
"Yeah. He is the Fourth Omni Lord. He doesn't remember about it because his memories are sealed in there," the small orange dragon commented. He gazed at the sight.
"You know it's time to give them back yo. We need all the help we can to stop Yamigedo," Tetsuya said as he approached him.
Ryuki sighed and quietly said, "I know… But… I don't know if he's going to remember us when he gets his memories back. I mean… us after he became Ban Emna. We knew him before. He might just be his Omni Lord self instead of his current self. Ban Emna is my buddy and best friend. When he returns as an Omni Lord, he might be gone forever. It might be different."
The boy chuckled, "Don't worry about that. You aren't the only one who has been afraid. Ziun told us about his fear of forgetting Akatsuki and Zanya when he got his memories back. He didn't forget about them yo," he showed his fingers and let out a reassuring smile.
His buddy told the worried one, "The same for Miseria and Joker. Joker told Gao about it. Joker was afraid that everything might be gone and Gao was… more apprehensive to lose his friend Kiri. Miseria came back, but he didn't forget about them. He was back as Miseria, but remembered everything as Kiri."
The small orange dragon raised his head and let out a small smile, "So… a three out of three. B-but," his smile was gone as he thought of something, "Maybe it won't be the same this time. Maybe he will forget about us."
"You cannot know that unless you try," the pink demon tapped the forehead of the small monster, "Do you believe in your buddy or not?"
"I do, but-" he gazed down.
Not far from there, Ban Emna and the three dragons tried to listen to the conversation. They couldn't hear what the small monster was telling the boy and the Omni Lord.
"What are they saying?" the man grumbled as he crossed his arms.
The three dragons gazed at each other's. They knew what was going on and couldn't give a clue to what was going on.
Shido and Gallows continued their search for the Omni Lord. They were both a little frustrated at the little progress they made. They didn't see where the Hundred Demon Hunters were. They didn't find him and the monsters at the beach.
"This is taking a long time, Sha. Sha," the darkness dragon grumbled as he crossed his arms.
"We were lucky to find them quickly last time," the boy replied before sighing. He crossed his arms and they continued their search.
They continued their search and after a few minutes, luck was by their side. They noticed the three dragons with their white coat. They saw the man.
"What are they spying at?" the darkness dragon wondered as he scratched his chin.
They checked at them and wondered what they were doing, while preparing to ambush them.
Ryuki searched for the right words to express some of his doubt. He played with his fingers, "I believe in my buddy, but when he comes back as an Omni Lord, it's not like the others. He has his memories sealed inside of it and it might push the new ones away. Also… they were sealed in the Omni Lord Emblem. I'm sure Miseria didn't hide his own in there and Ziun lost his memories from head injury, from what we heard. We did saw them talked about it when we crossed path!" he quickly waved his arms when the other two gazed at him suspiciously.
"You need to have faith yo! He is your buddy and your friend. He won't just forget about you. You need to believe and know this. I know he will," Tetsuya replied with a hopeful and honest tone in his voice.
"Y-yeah. I cannot just make him wait that long," the small orange dragon sighed. He had to take the risk. Ban Emna loved the heart and the others too. He loved this planet, the food and the habitants of this world. He gently squeezed his belly and raised his head, "You're right. We have to do this anyway. If Ban Emna forget about this, I'll just bash his skull until he remembers it!"
"T-that won't help with his memories yo," the boy with banana hair nervously commented.
"Still, we should go back and find them. You have a lot to say before you give it back. You want to be sure he gets the message," Asmodai suggested.
Ban Emna and the three dragons quickly turned around. The last part was loud enough that they knew what would come next.
The three dragons wondered what their little guy had been hiding from them. It was pointless to confront him since it was obvious the true would come by itself.
Bash whispered, "Could it be about that?"
Billion nodded, "I believe so. I thought it was another secret we didn't know about."
Ethernal sighed, "And we let boss hear them."
The three nervously chuckled after they heard that. Since the true would come out soon anyway, they had no reason to be ashamed of spying on the group. Still, they wondered how everything would end up.
The man wondered what might happened to him. He wondered what he might forget and why he could. He scratched his head, wondering what might happened to him. He thought back and his earliest memories was with Ricky. Then, they met the three dragons and formed the Hundred Demon Hunters, "W-why did I know about Yamigedo and his hundred demons that soon?" he asked himself. He never questioned that knowledge. Maybe it was something he forgotten. He had no memories of his childhood or how he met Ricky. They were just together for as long as he remembered. He gazed at his reflection and saw a small excited smile on his face. He chuckled as they went on, "Guess, I'll know that soon enough."
Once they were back at their spot, the dragons crossed their arms while Ban Emna waited at the group to return.
Once the trio showed up, the man approached him, "Where did you go all of a sudden like that?"
Ricky gasped and scratched the back of his head, "S-sorry. I was simply… Well… I was telling them something important and I have to… to tell you too," he then played with his fingers and gazed down.
"Them first?" Ban frowned as he crossed his arms with the other three dragons. He had to act like he didn't spy on them or his buddy would get back at him.
"We are the Buddy Police Force yo," Tetsuya replied with a small smile and waved with his fingers. He then winked at them.
"And I'm an Omni Lord. He wanted to know something from me," Asmodai replied as he crossed his arms, "Tetsuya. We should do like them," the boy did so too.
The Hundred Demon Hunters uncrossed their arms as it felt silly now. The pink demon chuckled while him and his buddy did the same.
"I have to tell you something important Ban Emna. I've… I've been hiding something from you since we met," he raised his eyes and crossed those of his buddy.
"Then it is time," Ethernal commented, before his mane was pulled, "Ouch. Ouch. Ouch!"
"You knew about this too?" he grunted.
"Yes. I asked them to keep it a secret when they found out," Ricky sighed before his left cheek was pulled by the man. He whined when it was released from the fingers of the man, "That hurt you know! Take this and this!" he tried to punch his buddy, but was blocked by a hand on his forehead. He jumped away and puffed his chest, "Of course. Spending time together for that long makes me predictable."
"What did you hide from me?" he asked the small orange dragon.
"What we hide… Well," he took a deep breath and answered, "Long ago… You ordered me to keep your past a secret. Since it was a time of peace and the Omni Lords weren't needed, you were wondering about life on Earth. So… Five years ago, we came here and you erased your own memories. You told me that my mission was to protect your… You're Omni Lord Emblem."
"Ricky… You mean…"
"Yeah. You are the Fourth Omni Lord and I was your partner. You sealed your memories and became Ban Emna… To live a life on Earth."
"You told us the same order boss," Billion adjusted his glasses, "We went away for a while before we reunited with you and formed the Hundred Demon Hunters… When Yamigedo first manifested."
"I… I am the Omni Lord?" Ban Emna replied. He put his hand on his forehead as he thought more about it. It did made sense that he knew about Yamigedo and his demons if he was the Omni Lord before. There was no other way he would figure that out. He wouldn't form his group. Still, why did he form it? He didn't want to ask that question as they were other pressing matters, "I cannot doubt any of you. So… What's next?"
Ricky played with his fingers once again, gazing at the side, "It's time for you to get back your memories. For that, you'll need the Omni Lord Emblem. Once you have it, you will be back as the Fourth Omni Lord. You will be back to your true form and true power… As for your memories. The time we spend together as Ban Emna," he gazed at the man right in his eyes, "You better remember it. Those were great times together, without being on duty. Because I'll bash your head until you remember it."
The man laughed loudly at that threat, "Sorry. I wasn't sure if you were serious about it. I'll be back as an Omni Lord you know," he raised his finger with a grin.
"I know, but it won't change anything," Ricky replied as he cracked his knuckles.
The other three dragons giggled before crossing their arms.
"Are you ready yo?" Tetsuya asked.
"Because I have a feeling that the enemies might be nearby. They are after you," Asmodai commented.
Shido and Gallows gasped from their hiding spot as they heard that.
The darkness dragon whispered, "I think we are getting predictable a little."
"Yeah. They didn't see us. They just expect us," the boy agreed.
"We should hurry up. Because if he comes back as an Omni Lord, we are dealing with two of them."
Shido thought about it. An ambush to use their demon wouldn't work. They had no chance and were too outnumbered. Even if the demon came out for the battle, he had no chance. They needed to act differently, "We need to get their blood another way," he took his vial.
The darkness dragon had a question mark on his forehead, "W-what?" he put his claw on his jaw while his purple eyes shrunk a little.
"We cannot handle any of them in any ways. We need to get their blood quickly and get out of here. It's the only way," the boy decided.
Gallows wasn't certain if it was possible. He crossed his arms and wondered if it would work.
Ricky took a few steps back and put his hands on his belly, "It's time Ban Emna. I've been holding it for a while," he raised his head and let out a small smile, "I hope you won't forget me."
"As if I could forget anything about you," Ban Emna smirked as he put his thumbs on his chest, "That would be terrible if I forget anything."
The small orange took a deep intake as he prepared to reveal the Omni Lord Emblem. He knew it was time. He was afraid of the answer. It might be okay, or it wouldn't. His belly began to shined as the Emblem came out of him. He grabbed it and gazed at his buddy, "This is your Omni Lord Emblem. The moment you touch it, your memories will come back. Are you ready?"
Gallows fused with Shido and became Death Shido, "I'll take care of it. I'll use my strength to get their bloods."
"With one vial?" he asked.
"I had one with me," he grabbed another one, "You weren't the only one with a vial. Good things too. They are two Omni Lords. I'll do this quickly. Be ready to escape. Sha. Sha."
"Good. Let's go when their guards are down," he whispered.
"The moment he had his hands near the Omni Lord Emblem. Sha. Sha. Sha." Gallows chuckled with anticipations.
Ban Emna watched the Emblem for a few seconds. He wondered what it was. It felt very familiar. It was something he once owned long ago. It was the thing that felt like it had been within him into his chest. He had a flash of the moment he received it from a monster long ago. That thing, I wasn't the first one who held that Emblem. It was the second Omni Lord of that world; he didn't know which world yet.
"It's time to take it yo," Tetsuya encouraged him.
Asmodai chuckled, "Time to join the club once again. I'm certain that you will remember everything and your current life before coming back as an Omni Lord."
The pink demon and his buddy danced a little together as they waited for the moment.
The three dragons crossed their arms and waited for the time to come. They wondered what would the result be once he grabbed the Omni Lord Emblem. They were worried and excited at the same time.
"Ready buddy?" Ricky asked a little nervously. He gulped at what the result might be. He raised the Omni Lord Emblem, "Because there is no turning back the moment you touched the Omni Lord Emblem."
"I'm ready Ricky. We will still be together in the end. Ricky, I'll still be myself. You don't have to worry about it at all," he let out a smirk as his hands slowly approached the Omni Lord Emblem.
"You promise it?" the small orange dragon asked a little fearfully. He let out a small nervous smile as he raised the Emblem.
"I promise. We are the Hundred Demon Hunters," the man chuckled as he raised his hand and approached the jewel.
Everyone watched the human, wondering what would happen next.
Tetsuya wondered what the Omni Lord true form would look like. Most of those he saw weren't big and wondered if it would be the same.
At the moment, Ban Emna was about to grab it, he heard something.
Death Shido quickly charged with his claws and cut the shoulder of the man. He took the vial and took some blood.
Before the monsters could react, he charged at the pink demon. He tried to slash the Omni Lord, but he dodged it at the last second.
"Hold on! I'll go faster!" Gallows told his buddy as he twisted the body of the boy to slash the tail.
Shido painfully whined as it twisted much more than usual and almost beyond his normal flexibility. He managed to hit the tail of the Second Omni Lord and got some blood out of the tail. He took the two vials and checked at them.
Everyone was ready to jump at them and prevent his escape.
Death Shido took out his card and immediately teleported away before the dragons jumped at him.
The three dragons smashed their head on each other's and were on the ground. The group painfully whined as they put their hands on their forehead and grumbled quietly.
"You're okay boss?" Ricky asked his buddy.
"I'm fine. Nothing bad," he put his hand on his shoulders.
"Good," the small orange dragon sighed as he crossed his arms. He wasn't certain if it was true what his buddy said or not. He saw a little bit of blood, but nothing else coming out.
"Nothing bad for you buddy," Tetsuya chuckled as he pointed at his tail.
"It's pretty painful, but nothing big," Asmodai nodded as he cleaned the bit of blood on his tail. He dropped it on the side and gazed at the group, "Still, we really let him get our blood. That is bad," he crossed his arms and gazed at the group.
"Sorry Asmodai yo. We should have been more careful," the boy chuckled nervously.
"W-wait!" Ricky looked for the Omni Lord Emblem. As the three dragons stood up, the small dragon picked up the Emblem and turned towards his buddy, "We failed the first time, but it's time for you to become the Omni Lord once again."
"It is time… for real," Ban Emna said.
He raised his hand and approached the Omni Lord Emblem. He hesitated at the last second as he observed it. It wasn't long before those hesitations were put aside. He checked around, just in case another attack was coming towards them. They didn't see a demon ambushing them earlier. It was just Death Shido. He saw nothing and grabbed it.
Ban Emna felt the light coming out of it. He closed his eyes as he felt the memories coming inside his mind. Those were memories of old when he was the Omni Lord. He closed his eyes and let everything coming to him. Then, his real name came to him, Burn Nova. He jumped back from the group, not wanting to hurt anyone by accident. He landed on the ground with a loud boom.
Once the light was gone, he was a giant monster who gazed at the others. He was a large monster with an orange body, gray underbelly, four yellow horns looking like flame, yellow eyes and a long tail. He wore a red armor over his body, "I'm back."
"We can see that," the group replied.
Tetsuya was the only one who didn't say anything about that comment, "He is enormous."
"And who are you?" he asked as he watched the dragons.
Ricky turned white as he heard that. He was so certain he remembered everything as Burn Nova said that he was back. He almost felt on the ground. His face turned red and yelled, "You forgot about us! I'll-"
"Just kidding!" the Fourth Omni Lord laughed loudly as he slapped his knees. He turned back into his human form and chuckled, "It's so funny to do that. You should have seen your face," he pointed at his buddy.
"I'll show you what I think of your little joke!" he jumped at him and tried to punch the monster, but was blocked by the palm of the hand of his buddy. His short arms couldn't reach him. He jumped away, "You're lucky I am merciful."
None of them wanted to correct what they witnessed. It wasn't appropriate for that.
"Anyway. I am back as the Fourth Omni Lord. I have the memories and the power to stop Yamigedo once again," he clenched his hands.
"Good too. We should go to the Buddy Police Force and meet with the others," Asmodai waved at them.
The Hundred Demon Hunters nodded and followed them at the Buddy Police Force Headquarters.
AC: This is the end of this episode. It's a little shorter, but there wasn't any fight.
Next: Alliot And Drum.
The last Cavalry Dragon showed up. He met Drum when he was kidnapped for his Omni Lord Emblem.
