AC: Thank you for the review. I appreciate it.
.2015, I am please to receive your suggestion and I'll see where I can put it in the story. As of now. It might wait for the final season when Drum is fully powered up and the cavalry dragon will follow so.
As for the romance part, it is very light on it considering their age.
Commander I was talking with Gao and Drum about the event that happened the previous day. Meanwhile, Tenbu was busy charming Stella, or trying too.
"So, our main culprit is a boy named Ikazuchi and his partner Yamigedo," the man concluded while nodding to himself.
"Yes. With the boy life on the line and the Great Fiend ready to protect him at all cost," the red dragon added.
The commander thought and frowned, "This can eventually get dangerous. As times goes on and Ikazuchi's condition worsening, they will get more desperate. They might cease to take innocent life into considerations."
The old dragon turned his attention to the man, "I believe so. When Ikazuchi showed weakness, the Great Fiend was ready to do anything to protect him."
"You convinced us to give them space," Gao remembered.
"Because in that desperate state, I feared for both your safety. Even if Yamigedo is only a manifestation, his power remained tremendous. That's why that human life is on the line by simply being a vessel," Tenbu gazed at them.
That made the group in a sour mood. Gao then gave the sealed card to the commander and asked, "Where is the demon going to be kept?"
"We prepared everything and this will be the third one we put in the underground. We prepared the best safe we could and made sure no one can obtain it," the man specified.
"That's good," the red dragon was satisfied.
"Hello Commander I," a new voice said.
The moment Tenbu gazed at the newcomer, he had a flash and lightly frowned.
It was a man in a buddy police suit coming towards them. He had black hair with four spikes going upward, a mustaches and pointy beard of the same color. He had pale skin, as if he was a little sick. He looked at everyone with his amber eyes. He noticed the old dragon gazing at him, but ignored it.
"Who is this?" Gao asked.
"This is a new member of the Buddy Police Force. He left the police since yesterday and became one of us," Stella replied with a smile.
"I could have come sooner, but I made sure that my replacement would be as efficient as I did. I didn't want to leave them with someone less competent than me," the man calmly said. He bowed to Gao and said, "My name is Dawn. It is a pleasure to work with you," he was about to say something else when he was interrupted.
Tenbu came and put his hand on the Dawn shoulders, "That is so good to see that not only the young one would join the Buddy Police Force. The wisdom you have will be of great help."
"Yes and-"
"Come! I might not be a member of the Buddy Police Force, but I can show you around. They are busy right now!" he kinda forcefully said. He then whispered in a tone that meant to do as the dragon, "Am I right Dawn? If not, I can show you the beautiful sun for a very… very long time."
Dawn quietly replied, "S-sure."
The two left the room.
Gao and Drum were a little suspicious. They looked at each other's. Gao commented, "Tenbu would only do that for a girl."
"Grand-pa Tenbu has some secrets he keeps from us," the red dragon looked down, "I still don't understand what Ikazuchi meant by family drama."
"Maybe it's something he's scared to say," the boy guessed.
Commander I said, "There are things we do not want to relive, so we keep them a secret. Not because we don't want to tell, but because we don't want to remember. Tenbu is extremely old."
That reassured the duo after a while, they left the room.
Commander I sighed, "There is a bigger picture we don't know about."
Stella nodded, "I tried to make him talk, but he said nothing about it. Just how pretty I am and trying to ask me for a date."
"Let's just hope it's not something that will threaten the world," the man concluded.
Episode 5: The Battle Of The Dancers
Yamigedo finished the new card and gave it to Ikazuchi. This one had an orange mark of it. The boy had finished eating, but didn't feel that good, Fighting them was a terrible idea. I think I'm worse than if I did nothing.
"Ikazuchi," the Great Fiend whispered. He closed his eyes. He could feel his friend getting weaker, we don't have much time. We have to get one Omnilord as soon as possible. If not… the thought couldn't pass his mind.
The trio came with Shido bringing another bag.
Ikazuchi nodded and gave the card, "Use this demon to get Tenbu."
The boy translated what the manifestation of Yamigedo said and what it could do. Once it was over, Sofia grabbed the card, "I'll handle this."
Shido asked, "W-what?"
She grabbed the horn of Gallows and asked, "I'll need your deckcase Shido."
"Sha? What do you mean Sha? I ain't gonna fight for you! Sha!" Gallows grunted.
The girl looked back and replied, "I need to do it."
"W-why?" Shido asked.
Yamigedo and Ikazuchi wondered what was going on.
"I have my word to say in this Sha!" the Darkness Dragon yelled.
"Because they need believe there is more than one Death Shido. More allies with Yamigedo. We will let them believe there is many of us. This will get them paranoid and give a chance to get Tenbu," the girl replied as she took out a spellcard.
"Okay," Shido said.
"I am not owned by you sha!" the monster yelled back.
Sofia whispered, "Want to deal with them?"
Gallows gazed at the boy and his fiend.
Yamigedo said something and his partner translated, "Yamigedo found this a good idea. Go."
"I'll go right now," Sofia began to use her spellcard.
"W-wait!" Shido sudden yelled, but the two were gone. He sighed, "I can't leave this place."
The boy gulped. He was alone with the boy and the manifestation of the Great Fiend.
They gazed at each other's in an awkward silence. Ikazuchi gazed at Yamigedo.
"Well… This is great."
A boy was joyfully walking outside of the school with his arms on the back. He was a boy with peach skin, blond hair with four bananas shape looking haircut and emerald eyes. He wore dark purple pants with a black shirt under a long-sleeved yellow jacket.
"You sure are happy even with everything going on Tetsuya," his buddy said, waiting for him outside the school with a CD player on his shoulder.
"I sure am Asmodai yo."
Asmodai was a pink demon with a muscular body, a long pink tail and opal eyes. He wore a blue jean with a purple one over the leg part of the jean and an opened yellow jacket covering his horns. He held a blue bag with the symbol of the Magic world on his back, "That's good. We can't let demons scare us."
"But you are also a demon yo," Tetsuya smiled.
The pink demon chuckled and looked around, "There is only one other person missing and we'll be full."
"We just need Terumi," the boy joyfully replied.
"I sure am please you made a girlfriend," the demon grinned.
The boy quickly blushed, "She is not my girlfriend yo. We are just really really good friends," he looked away from his buddy.
The Asmodai poked a little fun at his friend and added, "A double really? That's beyond friends in my mind," he poked on the forehead of the boy and chuckled, "Don't waste too much time or you're going to get friendzone by her."
"I'm really happy she feels better. It's better to wait a little yo," the boy played with his fingers.
The pink demon stopped poking fun and nodded, "After that operation, we're happy that she is still good at dancing."
"I'm happy she didn't lose everything yo. She gives so much effort."
"Thanks for talking in my back you two," a girl said.
"And forgetting about me," another voice said.
"Sorry Medusa," Tetsuya chuckled nervously.
Terumi came with a small smile and her arm crossed. She was a girl with peach skin, red hair and green eyes with glasses. She wore a dark blue shirt and a pale blue overall.
Her buddy was Medusa. She had grey scales with a humanoid chest and face of pale color, long green hair and dark gray eye wearing a bow as her weapon. She commented, "You are forgetting me a little too often Tetsuya."
"You know why," Asmodai grinned. He was about to add more but.
"Asmodai!" Testuya loudly said as his face turned red, "Not now!"
The girl chuckled and replied, "It's okay."
After being together for a year, the two were good friends. Terumi animosity towards the boy and his buddy was long gone. Instead, she saw them as who they really were. Good people who wants the best out of anyone they knew.
"Where are we practicing today yo?" Tetsuya asked them.
"We can go in the park. It is a nice day today," she replied as she put her hands behind her back. She added, "I'm also ready to show you what I can really do."
"It took long, but my buddy is finally back in top shape," Medusa added.
"That's great yo!" The boy joyfully said as he grabbed her hands, "Everything paid off for you."
"Thanks," she did dear to say another thing, it was thanks to you too Testuya. You wanted to help me so much. I couldn't let you down. "Let's go. I'll show you my move."
The four went to the park.
The pink demon asked the gorgon, "What kind of dance does Terumi practice?"
"She told me it was ballet. She likes to dance to the classic music."
"Sounds boring," he replied as his pink tail was on the ground.
She chuckled, "Compare to her, your dances are child play."
"Child play? It is much more complex than you think. Do you know how difficult it is to spin on my head with my horns?" he asked with a grin. He didn't take it as an insult and was simply teasing the other monster.
"And you manage to do it? How?" Terumi's buddy curiously asked.
"Like this," he grabbed his horns and they were in his hands.
They gazed at it. Terumi and Medusa couldn't say anything as they shivered, "How can't it hurt you?" the girl asked.
"Because I didn't really take them off," he put them back and they remained there, "It's magic. I came from Magic World after all," he laughed at their disbelief, which was written all over their face.
"Magic has its limit you know," Medusa replied.
"And that's how I can spin on my head," Asmodai concluded.
"You didn't have to scare them yo," the demon's buddy replied.
"I just impressed them a lot," he answered.
They reached the park. It was a warm afternoon. Everyone in the park were either playing together, walking or watching simply enjoying the day. They searched for a spot where they wouldn't bother anyone and went near a large tree. The pink demon put down the CD player and checked if their disk was inside.
"You are still using a disk," Terumi commented.
"Yes. This is the way to dance yo!" Tetsuya replied.
"It always fun to know music can be played with spinning little disk like that," the pink demon replied.
"Good thing I brought one too," the girl said. She knew the kind of CD player they were using wasn't even needed anymore. It was odd to use something of the past, but she agreed. The music coming from the disk felt better than downloading it. She didn't know why, but it felt like it sounded better, or more unique.
Tetsuya and his buddy began first. They did their free style dance move. They followed the rhythm of the song while being perfectly sync together. Once they were done, they crossed their arms and concluded by, "Yo!"
Terumi and her buddy applauded them, "That's nice. I'll show you what I can do," she prepared herself.
Medusa gazed at the demon, "Not bad."
"You mean great," he chuckled as the girl prepared.
"Ready?" the boy asked as he prepared the radio.
"I am," the girl said.
The rhythm of the music was much slowed than the previous one and classical music played. Asmodai sighed quietly, not distracting the girl. He didn't want to be the cause of an accident and damaged the relationship between the humans. He gazed at Terumi and the demon was taken aback by the flexibility she was using. Despite being dance that required slow movement, it asked much more than he thought.
The girl was following the rhythm of the music and showed her flexibility. She took many risky moves that asked a lot of balance and put a lot of pressure on one foot. She kept doing that, before moving to another part that put less stress and weight on one foot. She concluded by bowing and asked, "How's that?"
The boy applauded, "That was so good yo!"
"It's not the same as you, but that's the type of dance I love," she replied with a smile.
Medusa asked, "So?"
"Pretty good. It's the kind of dance that can be hurtful thought," the pink demon commented.
"I made sure she took her time and doesn't skip some parts. If she went too fast, she might hurt herself. Believe me, she is ready," the monster from Legend World replied.
"That's good," Asmodai replied as he crossed his arms, "We can still practice one at the time and-"
They heard something and frowned. The demon heard some commotion in the part and said, "Never mind that. Looks like there is trouble."
"A monster?" Terumi asked. She looked at her friend, "Or is it one of the strange things going on for a while."
Tetsuya was a little nervous when she said that. He never explained to her what was really going on, since Commander I ordered it. He was still a member of the Buddy Police Force and had to respect the rules.
"And you know what is going on right?"
"Yes yo. But I can't tell yo," he replied.
The girl sighed and nodded, "I think I know why. Anyway, we should make sure it-"
The commotion worsened as they heard many people yelling.
"Never mind that," Terumi said as she went at the scene of the crime. Her buddy quickly followed her.
"W-wait!" The boy said as he ran after her.
"She still has her buddy fighter instinct," Asmodai commented.
They passed between the civilians running the other way. Testuya decided to use his buddy skill and flew above the crowd and saw Terumi looking serious with her deck case in her hands. They boy was worried with the reports he heard from Gao and Tasuku. He knew this threat must be taken seriously. He took out his cellphone and asked for reinforcements, "I'm not sure if it's a demon yet. I'll confirm it once I'm there," the boy concluded, leaving the line open.
His buddy was by his side and also looked at the situation seriously. He wasn't about to underestimate the threat.
A few minutes before the chaos began. Sofia appeared near the park with Gallows by her side.
Gallows was pissed off and complained, "What are you doing? Do you think you can just decide to make me your buddy out of the blue like that? Sha?"
"You aren't really felt like my friend's buddy you know. He doesn't care for you," the girl coldly replied.
That didn't calm the Darkness Dragon down, "I am not your property! I'll tell you again so you get it Sha! I am not own by you! You also took the Deck Case sha!"
"I already explained why I did this. You really have a short memory," Sofia countered.
That made the monster felt like he had been stabbed on the chest. The blade was deep in him and it wouldn't calm down. He grunted and crossed his arms, "You know how I am Sofia. I am not a nice monster like that red dragon or the fat green dragon with Tasuku."
The girl grabbed him by the scarf and replied, "We are on a mission for Azi Dahaka and Kyoya. I will not let your little complain cost it."
"Sha!" he held back his anger while freeing his scarf from her grasp, "I will do this mission but on Shido's side. Not an ice queen like you sha!"
She repeated it again with annoyance, "This mission will be with me. To make them feel like there is more enemies than just Shido and Ikazuchi."
The Darkness Dragon puffed.
Sofia sighed. The monster was much more uncooperative than she expected, "You know what's going to happen if we don't do this in the end right?"
Gallows also sighed and replied, "Of course."
"If you want a chance, you have to do it."
"I know! You don't make it easier ice queen," he grunted.
"I still can't believe you do this for that," the girl concluded with a very small smirk.
"Enough! Sha! We have a mission," the monster changed the subject to something less aimed towards him.
"Use the buddy skill. Fuse with me and we will release the demon," the girl ordered.
The Darkness Dragon gazed at her and didn't obey. He crossed his arms while his purple eyes pointed towards the ground.
"Gallows. You have to do it with me too. They cannot see my face," Sofia ordered with annoyance, much more than before.
"You do realise what fusion means right? And all the implications. Sha?" he still avoided looking at her, "Shido was aware when I told him and it asked some convincing. That it was just males together sha sha."
"Do it!"
"Fine! But don't complain when you realised it. I did warn you sha," Gallows said before fusing with her and turning into an armor.
She wore the same thing as Shido, but her hair stock out. She touched the armor and felt like it was the flesh of Gallows. She realised what he meant felt some embarrassment.
"I warned you."
"You mean that it is really your flesh."
"Yep."
"And you are touching me there?" she put her hands on her chest.
"Yup yep and yup," he said to the three parts a stranger shouldn't touch a girl, a thousand time more forbidden when it was a minor, "That's why I was losing some time. Sha. Because you will think I'm a perv. Remember that you are the one who asked this! Sha!"
"Do you feel anything?" she asked.
"Yes. I don't get what boobies have to be so interesting. Female dragons don't have one, but their scent can really trigger us on. Shaaaaa. Anyway, nothing to worry about me."
She wasn't. The girl knew it was the true. Purgatory Knights once explained that to them last year, "I trust you. Let's begin," she took out the card and summoned the demon.
The demon was Corpse Spirit, Draogul. It was a monster from Katana World who looked more like a knight than a monster. It wore a bronze armor covering all of his body, a helmet with a pair of horns on the side of its head, a large sword on one hand and a big shield on the other with shining rubies that looked like eight demonic eyes. His crimson mane flew with the wind. He put his sword on his shoulder and asked, "What is my mission? Who shall I taint with darkness?"
"Tell him that his mission is to take a shower sha. He smells death," Gallows commented. He did feel some hint of dishonestly in the voice of the new demon.
She couldn't disagree about the stench. It smelt like it was a living rotting corpse that death failed to claim, "You must drag Tenbu to you and eliminate him. We will bring his corpse to Yamigedo. However! You mustn't kill or hurt any innocent. It will draw someone powerful and awaken his true potential again. One that could bring the end of our master."
"That can work too," the Darkness Dragon commented.
The demon wasn't please by the last part. He seemed to be thinking about what to do. He readied his sword and jumped in the part. He landed in front of a crowd and his death stench spread around him. He raised his sword and cuts trees around him, "The hunting game begins. Bring me Tenbu or you shall die!"
It caused a huge panic and everyone ran away. He let most of them go, but trapped a young child near his large sword, "And you won't go anywhere. You will get him here," the child began to cry and couldn't move.
Sofia watched this and was disturbed by that simple act, he would have killed her if I didn't warned him fast enough.
"I look like a sweet dragon boy compared to him. And he is still holding back," he commented.
The girl couldn't disagree with him. That monster was vicious, but it felt like it was who that demon really was.
Draogul gazed around him and only the parents of the child remained. They wanted to challenge him, the fools. Just abandon her already, he thought.
"Stop this right now!" four voices yelled at him.
Tetsuya, Asmodai, Terumi and Medusa came and glared at the monster. They were infuriated at the mere sight of the situation.
The demon remained calmed, moving his sword closer to the child, "Bring me Tenbu and I shall spare her," he then noticed Asmodai and was quiet.
"It's definitely a demon Commander I. Call everyone quickly!" Testuya concluded his phone call before hanging up and turning his Deck case into a core gadget.
Sofia heard her cellphone rang.
"Wait! It's still there. I don't remember eating one," he thought surprised.
The girl answered and heard the voice of Ikazuchi, "-Listen to me Sofia. You can kill Asmodai too.-"
She understood the quiet meaning, but couldn't believe what she heard, "I understand."
"What's going on here? Why did he say that?"
She teleported besides the demon. She gazed at them and said, "Change of plans Draogul. We can get someone else."
"So, he is hum?" the demon knight replied with pleasure in his voice.
Asmodai frowned.
"What does he mean?" Tetsuya asked at his buddy.
The pink demon raised his shoulders, "I don't know. I cannot read his mind, thankfully too. Anyway, you can stop playing with that doll already."
The demon frowned, "What?"
Asmodai pointed at what was near his sword.
The demon looked at his hostage and it was a doll, one specifically made for girls.
"Awww. You like adorable doll. Such a cutie you are," the pink demon mocked.
The young child was already with her parents and left the scene.
"How?"
"I am sure glad I cannot speak, or I might cause trouble for you sha sha," Gallows commented.
Sofia saw what happened from the start, but remained silent when a clone of Asmodai did the switch.
Draogul furiously grunted and readied his sword, "I will make sure you four joined me."
Sofia took out the skull, "Before you ask. I am also named Death Shido. It's time to fight-"
The black dead knight cut the skull that would form the barrier in half, "We won't need this. Battle is more enjoyable… when accidents happen," he chuckled loudly.
"We got a dangerous opponent it seems," Medusa commented,
The two humans noticed the monster head pointing at them and not their buddies. They couldn't see his eyes, but they guessed that the demon would aim at them.
Inside the cavern, Shido, Ikazuchi and Yamigedo observed the evolution of the situation. They knew the battle was coming soon but it wasn't going in the expected direction.
"That bastard!" Shido gulped at the fiend outburst, even if he knew that burst wasn't targeting him and that he couldn't understand any words, "This isn't what he was supposed to do! His mission was to eliminate Asmodai and bring his buddy to me! He also needed to fight in the barrier! Now, anyone could come to stop the fight!" The Great Fiend grunted.
"This is clearly disobedience," Ikazuchi agreed.
The boy thought, I thought I had it bad with Gallows as my buddy, but this one is evil on another level. I hope you can handle him Sofia, because I sure couldn't.
"No matter the result, there will be punishment for this servant. I might break him like those who resisted," he commented as he crossed his arms.
"I agree. We cannot let him wander free. He needs to be completely controlled. Draogul is definitely going to kill any innocent and infuriate Gao."
"He will activate the future force and we won't have a chance," the other boy whispered.
The boy and his fiend had no choice but to agree. This would be dangerous for them and they couldn't let it go. In the trio's mind, defeat might be the best option in the long term.
Death Shido knew she had to regain the control of the situation and declared, "Our target is Asmodai. If his ally act, you can get her too. Leave the humans to me."
"No. I will make everyone hurt," Draogul chuckled. He raised his sword and charged.
The two monsters expected the demon to attack them, but he jumped over them and aimed for the humans. The two were caught off-guard, but Terumi recovered quicker, "Bloody Holy Grail!"
A magical Grail appeared and the big sword couldn't pass it. Tetsuya used his own spell, "Magical Bye-Bye!"
And sent the demon besides Death Shido. Draogul looked at his buddy and grunted, "What are you doing? They are using spells to stop me!"
"Nothing," she replied.
"Sassy!"
The four knew that their enemies wouldn't work together. Death Shido was the lesser evil and they might have a chance.
"Medusa, make sure to stay near our buddies," Asmodai said as he charged. He prepared to punch the other one, but stopped when the shield came in his way. He jumped in the air and landed on the head of the death knight. He jumped out of the way when the sword tried to get him.
An arrow came and pierced the armor of Draogul. Medusa glared at the demon, "That is only the beginning."
Draogul took out the arrow and almost no blood came out, "It might be harder to kill something that could be consider dead don't you think?" he chuckled as if he told a joke.
The pink demon grabbed the evil demon and did a suplex, before going out of the way when the demon tried to kick him. Draogul freed his head from the dirt and blocked the new arrow with his big shield.
The demon charged with his shield risen and in the way of any frontal attack. No arrow passed the shield while Asmodai was behind the demon, ready to do another suplex, but the demon jumped in the air and aimed his swords at Tetsuya.
The boy grinned, "Yo. Magical Bye-Bye!"
And Draogul went elsewhere and crashed into a tree. He struggled to free himself and Terumi didn't lose a second, "Fury of Odin!"
And the demon was hit by lightning. It smelt like the rotten body of the knight was cooked.
He managed to get out of the tree and back on his feet.
"He took it as if it was nothing," she looked at her friend who wasn't that surprised, "You got a few things to explain later. Because I'm starting to believe this is what you aren't supposed to talk about."
"It is Terumi," he admitted.
She could clearly see why he wouldn't say anything. That knight was dangerous, resilient, powerful and violent. He wouldn't hesitate to kill them, compared to most monsters.
Draogul was getting pissed off and glared at Death Shido, "You better so something now or I'll show you what will happen!"
"Sofia. He's serious. We have to enter in the fight. You know what Ikazuchi will do," the Darkness Dragon gulped.
"Fine," she replied as she picked a card. She wouldn't enter in the battlefield. She knew Draogul wouldn't hesitate to stab her if he could kill the humans.
The demon knight charged at Asmodai stood in his way. He swung his sword, but the pink demon was too quick for his blade to connect. He raised his shield and charged. The big shield tackled against the demon. He ran and crashed him against a tree and it felt on the ground.
"How many bones have I broken Asmodai?" Draogul whispered.
The pink demon painfully grunted while Tetsuya yelled, "Asmodai!"
Medusa fired a few arrows in the back and pierced the armor, doing little damage once again. Terumi followed with a spell, but Death Shido countered with another one.
Asmodai raised his head, a sip of blood coming out of his mouth. He laughed quietly.
"What's so funny?" Draogul asked, grinning inside his helmet.
"I was counting how many bones you broke and I was quick. The short answer is… Zero," the pink demon replied before laughing loudly.
Asmodai right hand twitched and spin around itself before entering into contact with the chest of the dead knight, "I got a few tricks myself. Guess you know why."
He released a blast of energy and sent the knight away.
Draogul spin on the ground a few times before he stopped rolling on the ground.
"Now!" Terumi said as she grabbed a spell card.
"Sure yo!" Tetsuya replied with his own.
Death Shido could only block one and blocked Terumi's spell.
"Bastin Caps!" Tetsuya yelled as he released a fire ball that blasted on the back of the knight.
Draogul painfully yelled when the blast penetrated in the holes made by the arrows of Medusa. He glared at his ally and yelled, "Do something!"
"You are the one who wanted to fight them both here instead of only Asmodai," she replied.
"Look at him. Complaining when it's his own fault," Gallows commented.
The demon knight stood in all in size in front of the girl as he dropped his sword.
"I can feel his urgh!" the Darkness Dragon grunted.
Draogul grabbed her throat and grunted, "You are the one failing at this mission!"
Death Shido felt little pain. She understood that Gallows was the one most of it.
The dead knight felt pain when he was fired on the back. He dropped her and took back his sword, "We will settle this later."
Gallows coughed, "I really- Really want to lose this fight."
"Me too," Death Shido replied.
Draogul charged, shield risen and blocked any arrows coming at him. He went around the pink demon and was near Medusa. He tackled her with his shield and was about to kid Terumi in half when, "Magical Bye-Bye!" he swung on the already broken tree.
The evil demon furiously yelled and charged once again. Asmodai got a bad feeling this time, "Careful you two! He will try something different!"
He raised his shield and sword and charged. The pink demon spin around him and grabbed the flank of the knight, stopping his momentum. He did a suplex with everything he got and made sure the head was stuck on the ground.
Tetsuya and Terumi followed up with an offensive spell, but it was blocked by Death Shido.
Draogul stood up again, glaring at them with a killed gaze.
Even if they couldn't see his eyes, it was clear that he wanted to kill them all without any trace of mercy.
Shido was watching the battle going on with Draogul never seeming to get tired no matter how many times he was hit by the monsters and their buddies. The boy was feeling tense after the dead knight threatened Sofia. It was something that angered him, but held it back in him.
"Do you think he will defeat them Yamigedo? It is taking long," Ikazuchi commented.
"I am uncertain. Nevertheless, he will regret his reckless behavior and he knows it," the Great Fiend commented with his arm crossed.
Shido watched the fight and hoped that Draogul would be sealed away. He was more dangerous than the previous demons he witnessed. This one was a heartless one, if he is sealed, he won't hurt Sofia… I wouldn't handle him. I wouldn't be able to go through that. Did you see that Sofia? He wondered.
The battle continued and the demon was relentless. No matter how many times he felt down, he stood up and charged. Draogul wasn't an ordinary opponent and it was slowly getting on them.
Asmodai was wounded by the sword and was bleeding, "Didn't see that one coming," he grumbled. He stood up and avoided the sword once again.
Terumi and Testuya used a spell together, but Death Shido managed to stopped it. Medusa fired more arrows, but they bounced on the shield. She was smashed by the shield and sent away. Terumi protected her buddy with a spell. The pink demon took his chance and did another suplex to the demon and took some distance to pant.
"Hold on. Reinforcements are coming soon," Testuya panted, I never had to use so much spellcards.
"You didn't say yo," Asmodai noticed.
"Sorry, yo," his buddy replied.
The pink demon frowned while Medusa managed to return by his side. The battle was holding for too long and one of them could take the advantage in the fight.
Draogul chuckled, I'm sure this victory will allow my master to overlook my action. He overlooked them once before and will probably again, "You all seem to reach your limits. I should end this now. I will end your life right now Asmodai," he readied his sword and charged.
The pink demon tried to avoid it, but a spell from Death Shido prevented him to move, "This is bad!" he yelled.
Draogul laughed loudly when his blade was about to decapitate the other demon, but felt pain on his side and soon after, he wounded and against a tree.
"They're here and-" Tetsuya said nothing else when he didn't recognise who was coming. He did here the siren of a police car, but whoever it was, he wasn't among them.
"A rotten demon like you will not be allowed to roam freely in any worlds," the new person declared.
"Just like what he said!" someone added, joined the side of the human. It was that person's buddy.
The boy with peach skin walked towards the demon, looking at it with his red eyes. He had orange hair shaped into a pompadour at the front with spikes and a small mullet behind it. He wore goggles with bikes handle on the side. He wore a white shirt with the image of a flame on it, a red jacket and blue pants.
His buddy was a small orange dragon with cream colored underbelly, purple eyes and a tail. He wore a red jacket like the human, a white bandana and protective plates on his chest and forehead. One thing everyone noticed was that the dragon was small.
He's probably in his SD form, the four guessed just like Death Shido.
"Who are you?" the demon furiously grunted as he stood up.
"I am Ban Emna, a hunter who targets the Hundred Demons," he showed his deckcase and put it on his jacket.
"And I am his buddy Dragon Kid Ricky!" the little dragon grinned as he was ready to fight the demon, "Now come at me! I will beat you until you cry for your mommy!"
His buddy chuckled as he said, "The battle is over anyway. You lost."
Draogul laughed, "What do you mean lost? I am still-" he noticed something surrounding him and realised that it took his power, "What? What's going on?"
"The hunt is already over. The seal is completed!" Ban Emna yelled.
The demon yelled one last time before it was turned into a card, with the seal on it. It flew towards the boy and grabbed it.
Emna gazed at the wounded and asked, "Are you four alright?"
Tetsuya nodded, "We are fine yo. Thanks for helping us."
Asmodai raised his hand, "You can give up the demon now. We will make sure he is imprisoned with the others."
The boy suspiciously looked at them, "You are with the Buddy Police Force?"
"Yes," Tetsuya replied.
"Not me," Terumi commented as she took out her cellphone.
"Even so, we cannot trust strangers with them," he put it in his pocket, "There are things you cannot undo."
"What do you mean?" Tetsuya asked as he approached him.
Ricky jumped in the way and yelled, "Don't sneak on us like that or you are so going to regret it," he tried to punch the boy, but was blocked. His arms were too short to reach the boy. He jumped away and puffed, "I'll let you go this time, since you did the hardest part of the fight."
Ban Emna grabbed his red vehicle and a ring of flame, shaping like a wheel appeared under it. His buddy climbed on his back and grabbed the handles, "Sorry, but they are better in my hands," he waved at them and left as the Buddy Police Force arrived.
Terumi gasped and yelled, "Death Shido is gone!" while putting her cellphone back in her pocket.
The three others looked and grunted. The pink demon raised his shoulders, "She escaped."
"That will go in the report," the boy sighed.
"What about Terumi and Medusa?" his buddy asked.
Tetsuya thought about it and asked, "Can you come with us when we give our report? You pretty much know about it anyway."
She nodded, "Sure. I really need to know what's going on now."
They saw the Buddy Police Force there. Gao was among them with Drum and Tenbu.
Sofia and Gallows unfused when they were back in the cavern. They saw Shido and the other two looking at them.
The boy came at them and asked, "Are you okay Sofia? I saw him strangle you!"
"I felt little of it," she calmly replied.
"How can you be so calm?"
"I took most of it sha," Gallows grumbled before massaging his throat, which he needed for a while.
Yamigedo said something to his partner who translated, "You're failed to bring back Asmodai."
"I'm sorry. It would have been possible if we only had to fight him alone," the girl apologised.
"Yeah. That Draogul just took that chance away. Sha," the Darkness Dragon replied.
"This defeat was his own fault. He disobeyed the mission for his own pleasure," Ikazuchi replied angrily, we got a chance and this demon waste it! I wouldn't happen if I could go and face them!
The manifestation nodded negatively at his friend, as if he heard his thought. He said something and the boy translated it, "We won't punish you. Draogul punishment will have to wait."
Sofia nodded.
"It's time for you three to leave," the boy concluded.
The trio left.
"Why are you still here? You could have gone home you know," Sofia asked when she gave back his Deck case.
The boy showed the deck.
"Oh," she simply said.
Gallows did nothing the girl was embarrassed she forgot something like that as they went away. He giggled. He had the right to enjoy after getting most of the damage from that demon. He hoped to never see that one again.
Tetsuya finished giving his report to Commander I, "I don't know why they were after my buddy yo."
"Terumi and her buddy witness everything?" he asked.
She nodded, "Yes. We wanted to help when someone was in trouble."
"It would have been worse if she wasn't there," the pink demon concluded.
"Please. Keep everything you know as a secret. We cannot imagine what will happen if everyone is aware of this," Commander I didn't need to add details of possible scenarios, which weren't good.
"We won't tell anything," Medusa and her buddy said at the same time.
"We were with Kyoya before and managed to keep it a secret until much later on. You can trust us with this," Terumi added.
Stella nodded with a smile, believing them, "As for the boy who saved you? Do you know anything about him? Maybe Kyoya tried contacting him before?"
Terumi nodded negatively, "No. It's the first time I've saw him. He seems to know about the demons and how to seal them."
"He claims to be a hunter of the Hundred Demons yo."
It was then that Gao entered in the conversation, "He can seal a demon? I thought only Tenbu knew and taught Axia and Baku."
Drum asked, "Who else knows about that?"
Tenbu thought, "Surely another Omni Lord. We all know about those spells. Maybe one showed him or made him one," he played with his pink mustaches, "I am not the only on Earth. Not anymore to be certain."
"We don't know what he looks like thought," Stella commented.
Terumi smiled and showed her cellphone, "I got their pictures. It was really strange to see people like them, so I make sure to remember them."
"Can you share it with us? We will definitely need to speak with him," Commander I asked.
"Of course," she offered it.
Gao smiled and said, "Thanks to you, no one has been gravely injured."
The four smiled. Tetsuya gave a thump up, "Yup. Asmodai saved that kid yo!"
"That's what a demon filled with tricks will do," he grinned.
"Tricks for the benefits of everyone," Medusa added a little touch.
"Of course," Asmodai concluded.
They concluded the meeting with a few more objectives to obtain. They don't just need to fight the demons and stop Yamigedo. They have to find Emna and find out where the Omni Lord is.
During the night, Tenbu entered in the chamber of Gao. He checked if the boy and the red dragon were sleeping and it was the case.
I'm sure Gao has her phone number. He did call or got a call from her at least once, the old dragon thought. He went to the cellphone and borrow it.
He quietly left the chamber and checked in his contact list. He found it and smiled, "Good. I won't have to find and stalk her," he called her, hoping she wouldn't be angry this late.
"-Moshi Moshi. This is Hinako speaking.-" someone said at the other said of the phone.
"Prime Minister Hinako. I'm sure you just said your name because you saw Gao's name, but it's Tenbu speaking."
"-Didn't try to charm me… Why did you call?-" the Prime Minister said with a serious tone.
"I want to meet you in your office. You and I alone. There is an immense favor to ask of you. This has to be absolutely between us only. It's about Yamigedo," he precise.
"-Why? The Buddy Police Force just have to arrest them.-"
"It's more than that. Please. I promise I will explain everything then and why this must be between us only. You will know more than everyone else," the old dragon almost begged her.
He waited for a minute before a reply, "-In three days. I'll be open to meet you at 6 P.M. at my office.-"
"Thank you so much. I'll be there."
"-Tenbu. You better not hold anything back. You promise.-" She warned him.
"And I won't break it oh lovely woman," the old dragon said, relief.
"-No problem.-"
They said a few things before they both hang up. The old dragon erased any proof of this call and brought back the cellphone. He thought, all for the future.
AC: This is the end of this chapter. I hope you enjoy it.
Ban Emna also appeared to save them in the end.
Yup. Tenbu is planning something in secret with the Prime Minister. What is it? You will have to wait a very long time for the answer.
