The night came and only the black sky with few stars painted the sky over the city of Tokyo.

In the home of Tasuku and Jackknife, the boy was doing his homework. He had to do it and pushed aside his thought about the lurking danger surrounding Tokyo and probably the planet itself. Everything just turned more complicated with the demons who could appear at any moment and cause chaos. The worse had been avoided and right now, the townspeople aren't panicking thanks to Hinako, the Prime Minister, speech the following day of the attack.

Meanwhile, Jackknife was watching a show as he yelled, "Come on Johnny!" He looked at his buddy and was glad that the boy managed to occupied his busy mind. He was still nervous about Yamigedo threat, but they could overcome it, just like Gao.

One thing those two were unaware, was that someone was watching the two from a window. The observer looked at the green dragon and the boy. The observer was a dragon, carefully watching them. One thing was strange, it was that he didn't come from Dragon World or Darkness Dragon World, "Hello master," he nodded, "Yes. I've been observing them for a few months now. Jackknife is a good dragon as I heard on Earth. The human Tasuku is also a child with a strong light inside of him… Yes… Yes indeed. Compared to what we heard; his exile came from a kind reason. His heart is one of light… Just like the stars in the sky," the dragon gazed up and observed the little stars that shined through the luminous city, "That's right master. I believe that Jackknife is perfect. He is worthy of becoming one of us. We will openly welcome him as a member of our world and become a star dragon."

He ended up the communication and continued observing the duo. He meant what he said. His world, Star Dragon World, was ready to welcome a new dragon in their group. One, who's heart shined like a star, even in the brightest and darkest day.

Episode 3: Brotherhoods Battle

Ikazuchi gazed at his friend who gave him two cards. He looked at them and saw two monsters with an orange mark on it, compared to the red one from the previous demon, "Why did they came out together?"

"Those two demons are always together. They are never separated, no matter what you do. That's why those two demons came out," the Great Fiend thought about it and sighed, "They are powerful, but it seems I can't remember how I recruited them. I know how I got each of them, but those two is a mystery. My mind is blank. Just remembered I drank near a river with a weird taste. Then I woke up with a huge headache and they were my servants."

The boy wondered how the monster couldn't remember such detail, but his thought was cut when the trio came back, "You're here," he lightly grinned.

"It's clear you have another mission for us," Sofia stated as she crossed her arms, "What are your orders?"

"The same as before, but do not fail this time," he showed the two demons at them.

Shido grabbed it and gazed at it.

"Two," Gallows commented before chuckling, near the boy, "Not going to underestimate them again. Right?"

"Don't come any closer," the boy grumbled at his buddy.

"Will you let that go? It's been a year already," the Darkness Dragon commented.

"Of course, no!" Shido yelled.

"I don't care about this. Go and get Tenbu right now," Ikazuchi grunted.

"Of course," they said together.

The two cards begin to shine, to the surprise of the humans and the two monsters. The servants of Yamigedo went out of the seal and grunted, "We will not accept this."

The two demons gazed at the boy and his buddy.

The first one was Sibling Dragon, Foonbaltes. He was a biped dragon with red scales, except for his gray underbelly, crimson eyes and a ruby on his chest. He had an axe on his forehead and another one on his tail.

The other one was Sibling Dragon, Kibaltes. He looked less like a dinosaur compared to his sibling. He had a purple body, covered with darker purple fur, except for his face, and feet, which were pale brown. He had a pair of wings, silver color and purple eyes.

"You better not disobey Yamigedo," the friend of the fiend warned them.

"We are not thinking about disobeying our great Yamigedo," Foonbaltes replied as he looked at the boy and his master.

"However, those two don't have the spirit of brotherhood that we have! They are surely going to complain against each other's with the human being right about it," Kibaltes added as he pointed his claw at the boy.

"What do you mean he's right? Sha!" Gallows yelled.

They continued together, "They do not have the spirit of the brotherhood. They are divided by their anger and hatred. They are not brothers like us! We cannot trust them to reach victory."

Sofia replied, "But those are the orders of Yamigedo. You have to follow them."

"We will! But we will find the one with the soul of brotherhood and bring the body of Tenbu! We will not fail!" before the two demons left the group behind.

They were an awkward silence in the cavern as the trio turned towards the boy and the manifestation of the Great Fiend. The spirit of the fiend was emitting a dark aura. Shido gulped and quickly said, "I'll go after them Yamigedo!"

"Don't!" he grunted.

The boy didn't get it, but frozen. Ikazuchi listened to what his buddy said, "It is pointless to go after them. We cannot change their mind. They are on their own," he grunted, "Those demons are a bunch of idiots. We don't need you today."

The trio nodded and left the cavern. Shido sighed, "I was sure I would get shocked again."

"None of this is your fault Shido," she pointed at his buddy, "It's his."

"Sha Sha? Why is everyone thinking it's my fault?"

"Because it is!" the two humans replied.

Gallows sighed, "Whatever."

Three days later, it was the middle of the day and someone was watching the news, "-And as you can see, Tasuku Ryuenki and his buddy managed to arrest of siblings Akaoni Konmae and Aooni Konmae. Those two veterans' criminals had stolen for more than 10 million yens this month, before they were arrested thanks to a trap planned by Takihara.-"

The man was furious as he slammed the wall, "Those bastards! They arrested my brothers! I will not let them get away with this! I will not let my young brothers put in jail by a stupid kid!" he gazed at the television and saw the boy nodded towards the reporters.

The reporter approached the boy and asked, "-Excuse me mister Tasuku Ryuenji. Can we have a moment please?-"

"-I'm sorry, but I have to search where their older brother is hiding. We know that he will act soon, now that we got his brothers,-" he turned around.

"-Such professionalism coming from Tasuku Ryuenji.-" the reporter said.

Jackknife approached and said, "-We are sorry that we refuse the interview but it might get dangerous soon. Their older brother could be lurking around and we wouldn't want anyone to get injured.-" those were the last words before the man broke the television, "They are talking as if they will fail to get my brother out and arrest me! Those arrogant bastards!"

He furiously grunted and wondered how to get his brothers out of here. He did have a few guns, but against a magical shield, it would be ineffective. He continued thinking about it when a shadow appeared behind the man. It observed him as if it was judging him. The two demons looked at each other and nodded, they found in that criminal the heart of brotherhood.

"The heart of brotherhood shined within you," someone told the man.

He turned around and searched for the sound of the voice, "W-who?"

"We are Foonbaltes and Kibaltes! We are like you, monsters with the soul of brotherhood! We will help you free your brother from their jailors and in exchange, we want you to help us to eliminate a dragon named Tenbu. Accept and we will fight to save your brothers. Refuse, and they will be put in jail."

The human thought about it and gazed at the monsters with a smirk, "No problem."

Tasuku and Jackknife were in the Buddy Police car with Takihara and his buddy Card Burn.

Takihara had peach skin, short brown hair and green eyes. He wore a green shirt with an orange vest and green pants.

Card Burn had green eyes, gray, red and white armor pain job on his metallic body, some golden part on his chest and forehead. He looked like a mini-Gundam in his SD form.

"It would have been easier to fly around," Tasuku commented as he looked at the truck that escorted the criminals. It wasn't necessary a job for the Buddy Police Force, but the trouble the brothers caused made the Police Force to ask help from their group, which Commander I agreed. The boy had no problem with it, for what they did to help the Buddy Police Force to regain their righteousness, while I've lost it, he thought back. He wasn't saddened about it anymore; he grew stronger from this and closer to Jackknife.

Takihara gazed at the boy from his mirror, "Me too, but it's best that they don't know where we are. Especially you. You built a big reputation among us," he lightly smiled, "You are an unmasked Captain Answer."

Jackknife chuckled, "In a way."

The boy nodded with a smile, "Like my buddy said. You know, I heard nothing about Captain Answer for a long time."

"Maybe it's because there's people like us now," Takihara replied. He thought about it, but was uncertain if it was a fact.

"Possible. If he is a hero, he must act when a crime cannot be stopped or when peoples are too much in danger. Right now, there's us who is doing his heroic job. I believe he let us hold the flagship of a hero," Card Burn proudly said.

They nodded as they kept rolling to the Police station.

"How's it going at school?" Takihara asked curiously.

"Pretty good. I have good grades," the boy answered.

"I made sure he studies well," the green dragon added his little touch of pride written in his smile.

"How were you at school Takihara?" the young human asked.

The man nervously chuckled and shamefully admitted, "I was a terrible student. In High School, I was a delinquent. Not someone who hurt people, but I was almost never present at class and barely passed. Eventually, I… did something stupid and almost died. Captain Answer saved me. That hero just reprimanded my ways and somehow, I realised I took a wrong path. If I didn't meet him, maybe I'll be the one in jail."

Card Burn asked, "So your heroic heart began from a moment where it wasn't even existing."

"That's pretty much the true," the man answered as he looked around for anything suspicious.

"Why were you a delinquent?" Tasuku curiously asked.

"That's… personal," he didn't add anything else.

"S-sorry."

"No problem. You didn't know. You know. You might inspire children to take the right path. Just helping people like you do," the man admitted.

"I-"

"Don't put pressure on my buddy," the dragon warned with a small smile.

"It's okay Jack. I didn't know I can help someone like that?" the boy commented.

"Everyone is doing much more than they believe. Me too. Anyway, we are getting close-" Takihara said nothing and frowned.

"What is it?" Card Burn asked as he looked around for anything suspicious.

"I'm certain I've seen three things in the air. I think they were on the roof of a building, in front of us and-" he found them again and yelled, "Hold on!"

The man activated the siren and pressed the breaks, turning abruptly to the right when a blast exploded where the vehicle would have been if it kept to its path.

"It's him!" Tasuku grunted, knowing for certain it was the last brother.

"Our of the car now! They are three of them!" Takihara opened the door and went out with his buddy. Tasuku did the same.

"Look out!" Jackknife yelled before taking his real form and pushing his buddy out of the way. The police car exploded and the dragon protected his buddy from the flame.

They saw another attack, but this time, Takihara yelled, "Activate Barrier!"

A shield blocked the explosion. Card Burn took his chance and turned into his real form. He looked the same, but his features looked more solid and aggressive.

Tasuku stood up and looked at his buddy, "You're okay?"

"No problem Tasuku. Get ready!" the green dragon turned around, ready for battle.

The two demons jumped from the ceiling and landed in front of the two Buddy Police Forces and their buddies.

"So Kurooni Konmae came for his brothers as predicted," Card Burn commented as he readied his weapons.

Kurooni Konmae was a chubby man with tan skin, short black hair and dark eyes. He wore black pants and opened jacket, too small to fit. He had a deckcase on him. He looked at them and smirked, "So you think you can stop us?"

"To restore brotherhood! We will defeat anyone who stand in our way!" the two demon siblings declared as they pointed their claws at Tasuku and Jackknife.

Takihara knew he was pushed aside. He remained calm and replied, "I am also standing in your way."

"But you didn't hurt our master Yamigedo, but he did!" they replied together.

Tasuku and his buddy remembered their assault on the Great Fiend.

Foonbaltes took out the skull made to create a barrier, "And four against three is unfair."

Kibaltes smirked, "Because you will not hesitate to fight together. Better separate both of you."

His brother yelled, "Darkness Barrier activated!"

Kurooni asked, "What is-" he covered his face and when he looked again, he saw they were in a different space.

Tasuku and Jackknife realised they were put in the same space than their buddies Gao.

"Look!" the green dragon pointed his claw.

There was the Police Truck where the prisoners were trapped. The siblings weren't reachable by anyone for now, but it was there, separated from anyone watching them.

"Your brothers is there! Once we defeat them, your brothers will be free and in another place. This barrier isn't put where your partner is human!" the two demons declared.

So the barrier can go elsewhere, the boy and his dragon buddy thought.

"Tasuku. You have that card?" the green dragon asked.

"Of course," the blue-haired boy replied with a smile.

Three Days Ago

Tasuku and his friends were in the Buddy Police Force station and watched Axia and his buddy Baku giving the final touches to the Spell Cards that could be used to seal the demons of Yamigedo.

"Careful," Axia said as he wore some strange goggles, which made his eyes looked bigger than usual. He used a strange pen like object to draw symbols in the card, "Those are the finishing touch Baku."

"I know," the boy replied with the same equipment and doing the same as his buddy.

Tenbu nodded positively when the duo was done. He checked each spellcards before they sealed the source of its power with another part of the card, "Very well made you two. Those spellcards had not a single weakness in them. Those demons won't be able to escape the seal."

"Thank you," Baku replied.

The blue dragon giggled, "You have great talent Baku. Maybe you should consider to subscribe into the Magic World academy. You could really perfect your talents in making spellcards."

Asmodai smirked, "And then you will be called, Magician Baku. The magical boy in a-"

"Not that part!" Axia cut the demon while blushing a little at the same time. He was kinda liking that idea of his buddy in a sailor suit.

"Denied for Asmodai suggestion," Baku replied with a tone that let room for no negotiation in that point.

Axia grabbed the cards and gave them to each human of the Buddy Police Force, "Those cards might ask some of your strength, so use it when you are sure you can seal them. That means beat them up until they cannot fight anymore," he showed his fist with a smile once he was done. He stopped in front of the red dragon and asked, "How are you doing Drumkin?"

"Better, but I'm still wounded," the red dragon replied when he saw the eyes of the blue dragon shining.

"But not on your cheeks," the blue dragon giggled.

"W-" Axia grabbed him and nuzzled his orange cheeks, "NOOOOOO!"

Present time

"And I'll use it when the time is right," the boy reassured his buddy.

The two demons looked at the humans and then at each other's.

Foonbaltes asked, "How's going to fight him first?"

"I want to test that fat dragon," Kibaltes commented.

"Who are you calling fat? This is my natural form!" Jackknife furiously yelled.

"Fat," the two demons and Kurooni replied in unison.

The face of the green dragon paled for a second, as he developed some complex about his weight, gonna cut on the sweets. He pushed it aside and focused on the upcoming battle.

"I also want to fight him first," Foonbaltes replied, back on the subject.

Kurooni grunted, "H-hey! Why are you not attacking him at the same time?"

"Because fighting a 3 vs 2 is unfair. The power of brotherhood wouldn't accept it! If you win a fair battle! It proves you are the strongest. We do not want a hollow victory! You want to save your brothers and feeling hollow about it? Thinking that you didn't deserve to take them out like a weakling?"

The man frowned and replied, "Right. I am not a weakling! You will not look down on me you two! None of the Buddy Police Forces will!" he pointed at his enemies.

"We wait for them to get ready?" Jackknife asked.

"Yes. They want a fair fight, we will give them one," The boy activated his core gadget and his buddy skill. He was now floating in the air with two circles near his shoes that emitted some green light.

"How do we choose?" Kurooni asked them.

"We know," they said at the same time with a grin, "Just like how we decided to follow Yamigedo! Kurooni! Tell us who has the smelliest farts!"

Jackknife and Tasuku gasped and yelled, "Their what?!"

And the two demons released their farts and the man began to suffocate. Kurooni pointed at Foonbaltes and said, "this one."

"And I am the one who will fight them first!"

Jackknife face was paled as he said, "Wait… Does that mean that Yamigedo recruited you by… by…" he couldn't say the last word.

His buddy avoided looking at the demons and grumbled, "They are so disgusting."

In the cavern, Ikazuchi also understood what was implied and slowly turned towards his friend. The manifestation of the Great Fiend had his hands covering his face.

"You… recruited them in a farting contest?" the boy was incapable of believing his friend would have done this.

"I don't remember doing that! I just… I-" and he was completely ashamed. Incapable of denying it. It was the only explanation possible. Those demons wouldn't lie like that. They proved it in a disgusting way.

"That's one thing I didn't want to know about you Yamigedo," the boy grumbled.

"And my name has been tarnished forever," the Great Fiend whined, before returning in his buddy and remaining quiet.

Jackknife and Tasuku decided to put that aside and bury it deeply into their mind, where all their powers of denial would hide this discovery forever.

"That is not something we came to film," a female voice suddenly said.

The duo looked in the air and yelled, "Paruko?"

"And my buddy Takosuke!" she replied.

He was a pink squid like alien with a pair of white eyes inside a UFO, floating in the air. Paruko was inside the small UFO with her buddy. Takosuke was filming them with his camera.

"How did you even come in here and when?" Jackknife said loudly.

"We warp in here thanks to my buddy ability and… Too early," the girl said as she gazed at the demons, disgusted.

"Takochu!" her buddy said.

"Don't worry Tasuku. We will stay away from the fight. We wanted to check if we could go in the barrier first and it worked," the girl commented, "And if it's too dangerous, we will warp out!" giving him a thumb up.

That reassure the boy as the duo remained as far as they could in the arena.

"You better film my victory in this battle. That will teach them to stand in our way!" Kurooni yelled.

"I came to film your defeat," the girl with pink hair replied.

Foonbaltes frowned and asked loudly, "Are you coming to fight me or not?"

"Looks like his patience reaches his limit," Jackknife commented.

Kurooni put his deck case on his belt, but it covered its crotch.

Tasuku and his buddy watched this as the deck case shined for a second.

"I thought things like that was over," Paruko grumbled.

"Takochu!" Takosuke agreed with her.

Jackknife chuckled and tried to hold his laugh inside of him. He managed to hold everything back when the demon came at him.

"Kill him brother!" Kibaltes yelled.

"Of course!" Foonbaltes replied.

Jackknife blocked the tackle with his helmet blade. They pushed against each other's with all their strength, but none of them were letting the other taking any advantage over the other. Their foot dig in the floor as their muscles began to ache.

Tasuku prepared a spellcard if needed, just like Kurooni. The boy noticed already that the man was not used to it, as he checked the cards and appeared uncertain of its content. When it came to the human, he had the advantage in picking the spellcards in his core gadget.

The battle changed course and Jackknife managed to lift the other monster in the air and threw Foonbaltes on the ground with a lord sound echoing in the arena. He opened his wings and flew in the air, waiting for the dinosaur monster to make his next mode.

Foonbaltes jumped in the air and swung his axe tail, trying to cut the green dragon, but missed the target.

Jackknife countered with his blade, but missed the other dragon. He used his tail to grab the other dragon's tail and broke his balance. He used his fang and lacerated the chest of the demon. The wound wasn't deep, but it caused some lightly bleeding, this is too easy. Cocytus caused a lot of Trouble for Drum and he had to switch form two times. Something is wrong.

The boy thought the same as his buddy, could they be testing us? What can they both do? There is something else going on. He noticed Kibaltes was carefully watching them, as if he was searching for something, I have to find out what he is planning, "Jack. Focus on the fight!"

The green dragon knew that his buddy thought the same and ignored what the other was planning. He entered in a close-range right. Foonbaltes left him no room to take wings and used his flight to his advantage. Despite that, the dragon suffered from no difficulty, having much experience in this situation. He blocked and avoided anything coming at him and served the other monster the same, forcing the red dinosaur on the defensive. Once it was the case, the green dragon pushed his enemy backward, always forcing the demon to retreat and losing any advantage.

Soon, the demon couldn't back away as his tail hit the wall. He gasped and Jackknife yelled, "I got you know!" With one powerful swing, he slashed the chest of the demon with his blade and caused another wound. The chest of the demon was solid and it was only another minor wound, but they were starting to cumulate.

He didn't let the demon recover and tackled him against the wall. He used his claws to slashed the face and the chest, searching if he had a soft spot, but found none. He only inflicted light wounds.

Foonbaltes furiously yelled and used all his strength to grabbed the green dragon's arm and pushed him a few feet away, before they were locked on their spot once again. The two looked in the eyes of the others and tried to overpower the other monster.

"You think you can beat my brother? He is only starting," Kibaltes said with a smirk.

The monster's weapons collided many times as they tried to overpower one another. Jakcknife avoided getting hit and remained unwounded during the entire duel. The difference between them wasn't just experience the dragon noticed. It was something else. He kept blocking the attacks while his buddy used spells to block those of the criminal. The more it prolonged, the more worried the green dragon was getting. His mind kept telling him that something felt wrong in this fight.

He decided to finish it and slashed one last time. He hit the crimson dinosaur on its chest, before using his tail to whip the demon far away from him.

Foonbaltes painfully grumbled on the ground as he tried to stand up, "Damn… Brother. That dragon is- s-strong," he managed to stand up, but his legs showed weakness.

"Don't worry. It's time to get serious brother. We will show them what we really can do," Kibaltes replied.

The two demons let out a large grin as they prepared something.

Jackknife felt uneasy and turned toward his buddy, "Tasuku. Get ready for anything!"

"H-hey! What are you two doing?" Kurooni asked.

The two demons body shined for a few seconds, before they disappeared and all that remained was one demon.

"The two hearts of our brotherhood echoed inside of us. Together, we never lost a battle! You're bond with your buddy called Tasuku is strong, but it is not our brotherhood! No hope for victory. You can only fear our great power. This gift that Yamigedo, the greatest of all gave us! Fear our true power! Together as one! We are, Super Combidragon, Brainbaltes."

The demon was the fusion of the two monsters together. He had a draconic face, looking at the green dragon with his crimson eyes. He had the arms of Kibaltes, neck, wings and fur on its crotch. He had a pair of horns on the side of his head, with a metallic one in the middle of his forehead. His long tail ended with an axe.

The green dragon frowned as his instinct told him that this battle turned dangerous. he yelled, "Tasuku! Those two are showing their true power now! Beware!"

Tasuku nodded and prepared his next spellcard, "I'm ready to help you Jack!"

"As we told you. Your bond is inferior now!" they charged and assaulted the green dragon. They quickly forced Jackknife in the defensive. The green dragon barely managed to avoid the claws and tail of Brainbaltes. He flew in the air and the demon followed him with ease. The green dragon turned around and charged, his blade pointing forwards. They passed near one each other's with the sound of the metallic weapon letting a loud sound against something solid, "Argh!" Jackknife grunted loudly as three line with the dragon's blood appeared on his chest, while his helmet blade was lightly dented at the impact on the horns.

"Jack!"

"I'm okay! I'm just getting started!"

"Let's get serious too," Tasuku took out a spellcard to transform his buddy.

"Let do it!"

The boy used a spellcard and the armor and weapons changed on Jackknife. His armor was now made of gold and bronze. Two swords appeared on his arm plates while a crimson cape appeared on his back, looking like it formed a new set of wings.

"Jackknife, "Anzestor!" the green dragon yelled as he crossed his arms, the swords made a sound they touched each other's and some sparkled came out of it, "We will good all out too."

The two monsters charged and their tried once again to overpowered one another. Tasuku did everything he could to protect his buddy from the criminal spells and was efficient at it with his superior experience.

"You think you will overcome us in this new form? Our brotherhood will crush your brotherhood!" Brainbaltes yelled with a grin on his face.

The green dragon didn't reply as he grabbed the arms of the demon. He looked in the crimson eyes of the monster and grunted, "Brotherhood? Tasuku and I don't have a brotherhood. It's something deeper that you can't understand. You can't see it because you believe you are better than me. That is all," he frowned, "Nothing more and nothing else," he pulled Brainbaltes closed to him and slashed with his helmet, hitting the chest.

The demon bled a little and coughed, taking a few steps back. He looked at the dragon and grunted, "This is only what you believe!" he charged again and swung his tail, slicing the chest of the green dragon once again.

"Jack!"

"Don't worry! This is nothing for a dragon!" he blocked the new attack with his swords and charged, letting his swords slid on the tail as he crossed the distance and slashed the back of the demon. He painfully grunted when he was grabbed on the back and bit on the shoulder.

Tasuku took out his next spellcard and yelled, "Dragon Breath!"

The flame came from the card and burned the face of the demon, who turned at the boy. Brainbaltes yelled, "You are annoying!" they charged aimed at the boy.

"No!" The green dragon yelled as he flew to protect his buddy. He stood in front of the boy and the axe was coming closer to the dragon.

"Blue Dragon Shield!" Tasuku yelled.

But Kurooni used his own spell to break the shield.

The boy gasped when the axe slashed on the flank, causing a deep wound. It suddenly stopped inside the chest when it hit the thoracic wall, Jack, he worryingly thought. From his eyes, everything went in slow motion as dragon's blood hit on the boy's face.

The dragon gulped and lost his balance as he coughed blood. He used the last of his strength to pushed the demon away. His swords causing more wounds. The dragon felt on his knee and panted loudly. He put one hand on his deep wound, but the blood came out between his fingers, "D-damn," but… You're alright Tasuku.

"You will fall under our brotherhood!" Brainbaltes yelled with a victorious grin.

Tasuku put his hands on his face, felling the warm blood of his buddy. He frowned as his hairs grew in size. His blue hair was long, but it couldn't compare to the anger in the boy, I lost Jackknife once. It was my own fault. I let him behind. I will never lose you again. I won't let anyone take us apart! I will protect you just like you always protect me! "It's over for you three!" he grew his card, the impact card. The fully awakened his power, "With the Future Force, you will go down!"

The green dragon tried to hell, but whimpered, "It's… too dangerous. Don't!"

The boy ignored the plea of his buddy, he had only one thing in his mind and it was to end this battle, Jackknife needs to go to the hospital after this, His card shined as the boy yelled, "Impact Card! Gargantua Punisher!"

A giant dragon hand appeared form the sky as it pierced the ground. The hand looked like it was made of rock. It dragged out a giant sword and they could feel the power coming out of it.

The demon face paled as he yelled, "W-what is this power? What is that?"

Kurooni gulped, "We are going to die!"

"Do something! For brotherhood!" Brainbaltes ordered fearfully.

The giant hand swung its sword and it aimed at the demon. Kurooni used a defensive spell, but it broke as if it was a piece of paper that tried to protect the demon. The sword smashed the ground and a loud explosion resonated. No one could see what was going on until the smoke dispersed.

Tasuku used a healing spell with the remaining of his strength to heal his buddy. He felt on his knee and grunted, "That's… What Gao felt… after using it?" the boy wondered. He gazed at his enemies.

The demon was unconscious, exhuming bubbles from his mouth, just like their partner. Farther away, the Dark barrier had a large hole with the outside world visible. The blue sky could be seen through the hole.

The boy called everything he had left and walked towards the monster. He raised his card and said, "Seal Of The Hundred Demons!"

And the demon was sealed back into a card. The boy took it and lost his balance, but something prevented him to fall. He weakly gazed at his buddy. Using his tail to prevent the boy from falling, "You're good Tasuku?"

"Tired," he replied with a small smile.

As the barrier began to disappear Jackknife approached his buddy and hold him against his belly. The boy closed his eyes and felt asleep, "Rest Tasuku. Takihara will handle the rest."

Ikazuchi and Yamigedo finished observing the battle and lost sight of what came next as the barrier disappeared. The duo looked fearfully at the emptiness of the cavern. What they witnessed was beyond any of their expectation from anything humans could do.

"W-What is this power?" the boy asked as he stood up. He looked at his friend who remained pensive.

"I… I don't know. I never saw that before. I can't understand any of this. It even breaks the barrier," the Great Fiend admitted. He was afraid. That power they witnessed was beyond what they would expect from another human. Nothing should have broken the barrier, but it happened.

"And it's not just that. That human could fly," the boy grunted as he hit the ground.

"We heard about it, but we never saw it. This is what your kind called buddy skills. It's a power made from the bond of one of them with a human. We could do the same but not until I live once again," Yamigedo admitted. He thought, I am pleased Ikazuchi isn't the one fighting them. If that blue-haired human used it on… he gazed worryingly at the boy, his precious friend, he would instantaneously die.

"We have to find a way for you to come back Yamigedo. We cannot wait long," he stood up.

"But we mustn't make haste! I still have many demons we can use to challenge them," The Great Fiend quickly said, trying to appease his friend. He knew so well why the boy stood up.

"We don't have-"

"I said wait!" the Friend said with some desperation.

Ikazuchi looked in the eyes of his buddy. They simply gazed at each other's for a minute in a mental fight. The boy looked away and grunted, sitting on the ground, "Fine!"

"Our next demon will allow us to defeat them. We need to be more cunning from now on," Yamigedo said with relief.

"As long as it's another one you didn't obtain with a fart," the boy avenged himself with a smirk.

"You don't have to bring this shame again!" the Great Fiend yelled furiously.

Tasuku gasped as he woke up. He looked around, wondered what happened and where he was. He heard the sound of two electrocardiograms near him. He looked at his wrist and saw one attached there. The other one had more space between each sound, but it was regular. He knew who it was, "Jack."

"Your up Tasuku," the dragon replied.

The boy looked at his buddy and saw the dragon in his SD form, wearing bandages. He didn't seem that hurt with the large smile on the draconian face, "I was really tired," he let out a small sigh, "I can't believe it's using so much just for an impact card. No wonder Gao ended up here."

Jackknife nodded, "You worried me a little. You used it and I wasn't sure if you could stay conscious to seal him. Don't worry, you did it if you were wondering."

The boy smiled and nodded, "What happened after all this? I was so tired."

The green dragon resumed, "Takihara quickly came and arrested the criminal and secured the cards containing the two demons. Healed me with a spellcard. He took charge of the rest and made sure you were brought at the hospital with me. He then filled the report on his own. He told me that he saw what happened, thanks to Paruko's recording."

"She sent it to everyone? People are going to panic and-"

"No. She sent it only to the Buddy Police Force. Even if she wanted to make it public, she knew it was something really serious with what happened at your school," the dragon crossed his arms and nodded to himself.

"I'm glad we won't have to explain about Yamigedo," Tasuku sighed.

"This will cause a huge panic and…" he didn't stress out the worse case scenario, "Now that's settle, we have to prepare ourselves. I'm sure our friends will come soon. They surely saw what happened."

The door to their room opened and Gao came in with his buddy and Tenbu.

"Tasuku! You're up!" Gao quickly came and sat on a chair, near his friend's bed, "I came yesterday and you were still asleep," he chuckled, "You came back faster than me."

Tenbu gave his comment, "You are just like Gao. Making a foolish decision to use the impact card without really thinking about the consequence of such actions."

"Y-yeah," the blue-haired boy replied a little embarrassed, "When Jack was really hurt, I just thought that I had to do it. I couldn't stop myself. Sorry."

"Don't apology Tasuku. You did what was right," the old dragon replied, "Just don't abuse of it."

"I won't," he replied.

"I'll make sure my buddy won't cause too much trouble," the green dragon nodded.

"Still. You fought really well against them Jackknife," Drum commented.

Jackknife noticed that the red dragon wasn't bandaged anymore, "You're fully healed?"

"I'm back into action. You can leave it to us!" the red dragon chuckled with a large smile.

"You are not alone Drum," Tenbu warned him.

"Everyone is ready for anything now. Commander I convinced the school to let us have our deck case in class, so we can act at any time now," Gao announced the news.

"That will help a lot," Tasuku smiled.

"We brought a message from Takihara," the red dragon added.

"What did he want to say?" Jackknife asked.

"He said: 'Next time. Be more careful. It is painful when our partners are in danger. I'm sorry I couldn't come to your help.' He was really worried for you two," Drum concluded the message with his comment.

Tasuku sighed and lightly smiled, "We will be careful from now on, but we didn't choose to fight them alone. They did with their barrier…" his smile faded away, "Against the demons, we have to fight on their term Gao. The barrier forces it on us. If those two weren't fighting loyally, we might had lost or I might have to use the Impact Card sooner."

"Axia and Baku are working on a spellcard to force the barrier to open temporary or break it apart. Many people are studying the barrier to help creating an efficient spell. Heard the Buddy Force in China are also studying this," the boy optimistically replied.

Tasuku was lightly infected by it and nodded, "We aren't alone."

The two continued talking together about more casual things like the lessons Tasuku missed and the homework to do. His other friends came and spent some time together, until the visit ended.

Tasuku and Jackknife were alone, preparing to have a good night sleep when the door opened. The two were on their guards when it wasn't the doctor or a nurse coming, but a strange monster they never saw before.

It was a small monster, because of the scaly golden tail coming out of his back walking towards them. They could only see through his gold and silver cloak his shining blue eyes gazing at them. The symbol from the chest of the SD monster was unknown. The monster raised his hands and calmly said, "Do not worry. I am not here to attack you. I came in the name of my master."

"Which world you come from?" Jackknife asked, uncertain of whatever it was.

"I am known as the messenger. I come in the name of my master who rules my world. Star Dragon World," he said.

"S-star Dragon World?" The duo whispered.

"You heard about it Jack?"

"Never," the green dragon commented, "I never heard of your world."

"We prefer to live on the side of each worlds. We avoided many conflicts by choosing to be invisible from other worlds. We are just recently starting to come out of our hiding position, with the Earth found out and many Star Dragon's tempted to visit it. Why does earthling food have to be so good? Anyway, I came here with my own intention of course and I do not want to use up your patience."

"Why did you come here?" The boy asked cautiously.

"I came for one reason. We observed you for a while, thinking if you would be worthy. We decided that it was the case. Which is why our ruler sent me to give you this," he turned towards the green dragon and gave a scroll, "Please read it."

Jackknife opened it and recognised the draconian language in it. He read it carefully.

"What does it say?" His buddy asked.

The iris of the green dragon expanded as he reached the hands and put the scroll on the side, "Are you… even serious? Me?"

"About what?" the young human asked. The dragon didn't reply and the boy grew worried, "What's going on Jack?"

"Tasuku… They want me to become… a Star Dragon. To have a new world that could be my home," he shook his head, "But Earth is my home with my buddy Tasuku."

The stranger nodded and gently chuckled, "Of course. We won't argue about this. We know this is your home now. We just want you to offer the power as a Star Dragon. Because we believe you can protect everyone on this planet and show our goodwill for the Earth."

"So, monsters from a new world will come," Tasuku whispered. He gazed at his buddy and asked, "Jack… What do you want to do? No matter what. I'll support you," I won't ever let you down again.

Jackknife thought about it and hesitated, "I… I want…" he closed his eyes. More power. Power from a world that no one heard about. Could Yamigedo be aware of that world or not? Star Dragon World. A place where I could belong as a dragon, but still have the Earth as a place for my heart. Still be with Tasuku. This power to protect my buddy, he thought when the boy used his Impact Card, "What would change?"

"Your armor and weaponry built by the artisan of Star Dragon World, plus some special equipment for you buddy. Also, a meeting with our ruler, so you can know more about our world. Your decision will only be done after everything is explained by our ruler," the messenger concluded.

"For now-" he looked at his buddy. The boy was waiting for the answer, "To protect Tasuku and the Earth," he nodded, "I'll accept. My final decision will wait."

"Good. Once you are better, I will guide you to our world," he said, leaving them alone.

Jackknife let one last sentence before they went to sleep, "And we don't know if he was the one stalking us."

AC: This is the end of this episode. You know the future of Tasuku and Jackknife.

As for what happened to Yamigedo to do something like that, he just got drunk by something in the river and did stupid things in the night. First time being drunk without realising it.

Next Episode: Reckless Will.

It will be an Ikazuchi and Yamigedo focused episode. You will know why he will send missions more than fighting himself. (Compared to the Anime).
