Tasuku and Jackknife were talking to Commander I in the command center of the Buddy Police Force headquarter. They were sharing the letter they received.

"And we want to know anything you have about the Buddyfight Club. We are invited here and we cannot just ignore it," Tasuku explained.

"I convinced him to at least talk to you about it. It will be dangerous to go there unprepared," the green dragon added with his arms crossed.

Tasuku nervously chuckled as he did think of going there right the morning but avoided that path. He looked at his superior and waited for an answer.

"I would have told you to ignore it but the life of an Omni Lord might be at risk. I suspect that this could be a trap. It can be another demon of Yamigedo waiting to get you. However, I am not that certain," he tapped something on his computer and a screen appeared.

"What is it?" Jackknife asked when he looked at the image showed to them.

It was the image of many monsters and a few humans in a grid. It was like they put the ranks and the importance of an organised criminal group in their own social order. The one at the top had no image. They couldn't be certain if it was a human or a buddy monster who was the leader of that organisation.

"We are aware of the Buddyfight Club and its illegal activities. It appeared shortly after we arrested Azi Dahaka. A few under covered cops went in there and investigated. However, most of them had to leave after a while to not draw too much suspicions. It is a dangerous place to go and a dangerous situation to be into. I had sent one myself and they checked everything possible. I had to end the mission because it was getting risky. The leader of the Buddyfight Club is a very competent and dangerous one. He quickly finds out if anyone is trying to dig him out. That's why no one knows who the controlled everything truly is. However, the police still had someone with his buddy are inside who are investigating. If you recognise them, don't point it out," Commander I frowned and said, "Tasuku, Jackknife. Promise me that if anything turns dangerous, you leave immediately. I'll put a few agents near the club, ready to act if anything dangerous is going on. It disgusts me to say it but we cannot ignore this demand."

Tasuku nodded. It was something unavoidable, "Anything else you can tell us Commander I."

"Your safety is the main priority. Do not forget it. I don't want anything bad happening to both of you."

The boy nodded.

"We won't forget it. Let's go Tasuku."

Episode 14: Buddyfight Club

The two walked on the street in the direction of the Buddyfight Club. What they learned from Commander I was useful and were ready for it.

Jackknife gazed at his buddy and grumbled, "I am not certain this is a good idea Tasuku. You are someone who usually has good idea but this time… I have some doubts."

"I'm sure it's going to work Jack. They knew we are coming but if they don't know where we are, it might help us. We won't have to do what they want if we already rescued the Omni Lord," the boy replied with a naïve answer.

They reached the location of the Buddyfight Club. Just looking at it made it shabby and feeling that this was an illegal underground activity. The building looked like normal. Not only that, it was a one floor building where a Buddyfight couldn't happen. Many monsters were of large size and this place was just way too small.

At the entrance, there was a large and muscular man and his buddy in his SD form watching the entrance. Jackknife gazed at the man and something felt a little wrong. The stench wasn't that of a human, yet it was familiar. He couldn't put his claw on it.

"What do you want?" the man asked, glaring at them.

Tasuku didn't know how to make up an excuse to enter. He didn't want to just tell them that he was invited and go straight in the trap. Not only that, but his voice was the opposite of a deep manly one that only adult possessed. It was risky to let him speak.

"We are here to make some cash in the bet. It's hard to enjoy a buddyfight. They are so rare and I miss to feel my blood pumping up at the sight of battle," his buddy saved the day.

The man and his buddy nodded. They let out a small smile after looking at them more closely.

Did it work or did they recognise us? The blue-haired boy wondered nervously. He managed to hide his emotions with a strait face.

"Welcome in," he said as he opened the door.

The boy and his buddy went inside.

"Good job Jack," he whispered.

"That was the easy part Tasuku. I… I still can't believe our disguise might actually work," the green dragon commented.

They reached stairs and climbed down. It was all they could do for a minute and the boy grew nervous. How deep where they going now.

"I never knew we could go so deep in the ground," the boy commented.

"Yeah," he gazed at the walls and sniffed the air. The dragon grumbled, "It is partially human made. I think others from other worlds have done some more since they came here. But it is made pretty quickly. The Buddyfight Club appeared not too long after we stopped the Darkness Dragon plan, I believe."

"I still can't believe Azi Dahaka is on parole," Tasuku commented as he crossed his arms. It felt a little unreal that a criminal like that dragon would-be put-on parole.

"I know it's hard to believe but it helped Gao and Drum. They are out of town. They really need some time out and this, I hope, will help them and the family," Jackknife concluded as they reached the bottom.

"You're right Jack. Anyway, it's time," the boy seriously said.

They stood in front of a door that would lead in the real Buddyfight Club. Tasuku put his hand on the handle and pushed it. The door opened and they saw what the illegal club looked like.

It was a large arena where people could watch the battle occurring in the large ring, in the middle of the room. There were many people and monsters cheering for the battle going on. They could see dry blood scattered in the arena and on the ground. They were many big battles in there and the duo didn't like this. It felt like violence for the sake of violence. Like a gladiator match.

They searched for a place to sit down and observe the battle. They had to become one with the crowed. If they didn't, they would stand out and maybe the owner of this illegal club would notice them. It could cost the life of the Omni Lord.

They found a place where the two could sit down. It was a nice spot since young teenagers were present with their buddies or on their own.

This is disgusting. Children and teenagers are here to watch monsters fighting so viciously. This is the worse place for them. Where are their parents anyway? The green dragon wondered.

Tasuku was busy focusing on staying on the seat and not do anything. It would be foolish to try and acted all righteously when they were outnumbered, surrounded and in an unknown location. For now, they watched the battle taking place.

There were two humanoid dragons, one red and the other one blue, fighting with spears and they were both already pretty wounded. The blue dragon had many wounds on his chest while the red one had many wounds on his flanks and his left shoulder. The two were gazing the other one, ready to end this battle. Both wanted to claim victory.

The two dragons charged and their weapons tried to aim for a vital spot. Their struggles made the spectators yelled with excitement as the brutal battle continued. More wounds were caused and blood scattered in the arena.

Tasuku frowned as he felt cold sweat falling on his neck. He clenched his hands and gazed at his buddy who remained stoic. The boy did the same and contained his emotions, which were already to burst out at any seconds, this is so wrong. Why would they fight to the death for the sake of entertainment? I don't know why this bastard is but when we can, we will end this!

The battle came to an end when the red dragon gut was impaled by the other one. The sound of a bell quickly resonated and two monsters quickly came to attend to the injury of the gravely wounded dragon.

The two ignored the comments made by a human with a mic and searched around. Everyone was enjoying this sick spectacle and it made their stomach turned a little. This was all barbary only and nothing else.

Tasuku really used all of his will to contain it. He gasped when he heard that those two dragons fought against each other's for many times and already created expectation for the next revenge.

"And you are all invited to place bet in the next battle. Which world will win this fight? Would it be Darkness Dragon World or Dungeon World?" the man asked as the crowed yelled with excitement.

The boy saw many of them taking out their cellphone to put their bet on the winner of the next battle.

"This is kinda sad isn't Tasuku?" an unknown voice whispered.

The two looked at the one talking to them and saw that it was Rouga and his buddy Cerberus.

The teenager crossed his arms and his face was written with disappointment while his buddy just nodded negatively, as if they had trouble believing what they were seeing.

Rouga was a boy with lightly dark peach skin and long spiky silver hair. He wore a black coat with gray accents and red buttons.

His buddy was a mini silver wolf with three head and yellow eyes. The head to the right had green goggles; the one to the left had a green eye patch while the center didn't have anything covering his eyes.

They talked quietly to avoid getting attentions.

"You are wrong. I am not Tasuku,… yo," the boy tried.

"Nice try Tasuku. I am not like Gao. You can't fool me with this disguise," he pointed his finger at the boy, "Your hair is still blue, the color of your eyes doesn't match up and you're yo was… terrible… at best," Rouga explained.

That wounded the ego of the boy, he hesitated before saying terrible. How worse is it? "Y-yeah," he sighed.

"And Jackknife is even worse. You are just wearing the jacket of that demon and the massive size difference," Cerberus whispered.

Tasuku gazed at them and wondered, are they the one the police sent? He wasn't certain. He didn't want to risk to ask in the enemy territory.

"Why are you here?" the silver haired boy asked to the blue haired boy.

The boy gazed at his buddy and the dragon nodded negatively, "This is something that concern us Rouga," he crossed his fingers, "We cannot say more."

The teenage boy nodded. He gazed at the battle, "This is your first time here?"

"Y-yeah. It's really…" he said nothing else.

"Don't need to say more. This is a battle arena. It's not liked the tournament you participated with Gao last year. This is a very bloody battle between monsters while their buddies, if they have one, remained on the side. It is sickening us."

"You too?"

"Yeah."

Cerberus added his own words, "There is no cause in those battles. It's only for the money or sadistic desire. Even when I tried to hunt you Jackknife, it was not only for money but to stop a rogue dragon who can endangered other worlds."

"You had another reason to get me," the green dragon commented. He frowned and asked, "And why did you help the Darkness Dragons?"

"Because Kyoya is my best friend and I… believe in his ideology. He has been proven wrong and I was wrong too," he added nothing else as he gazed at the battle, "Don't worry. No one heard us."

There was some space besides the buddy police officers. Rouga and Cerberus sat there.

"What happened to your buddy Tasuku? He looks different than before," the teenage boy commented.

The three-headed wolf nodded, "You look much more metallic. You also smell a little different."

Jackknife answered why he was that way, having no reasons to hide it, "I went to Star Dragon World and they modified my body. This armor is not just to protect me but also to protect my buddy better. I needed more power."

"Why do you need more power?" Rouga wondered.

He got no answer about that. He wondered if he had to continue the subject about the reason. After a few tries, he got nothing else. The only answer was that it was forbidden to say why they needed more power.

They continued to watch the battle and when it came to an end, the light suddenly changed from its usual color to red.

A silhouette appeared and said something in a mic, "-I hope you are enjoying the battles so far!-"

The crowed was hysteric. They were clearly enjoying the bloody fight.

"-Then good for you. We have prepared something special for tonight performance and we have asked for special guest to comes.-"

Tasuku and Jackknife heard those words and shivered. They realised why they were asked to come here.

"-Those two guests are Buddy Police cops who made the city peace for more than a year. That boy is young and his buddy is a powerful warrior who participated in foiling an evil plan last year. For this, we are enjoying their presence for this special battle against my buddy!-"

Rouga saw the face of Tasuku paling. He knew it wasn't something they were expecting.

"-I am asking Tasuku and Jackknife to please come here! You know what will happen if you don't,-" he chuckled.

"He is the owner of the club," Tasuku said as he took off his costume and stood up.

Jackknife did the same and revealed themselves.

The two flew down in the arena, deciding to not let them wait for a few seconds just in case it put the Omni Lord in danger. Tasuku had his hand in his pocket and activated something, to be ready for anything.

The boy gazed at the silhouette. He saw nothing clearly and trying to discover who it was, was pointless. The boy was almost certain that this human was the one who owned the Buddyfight Club.

"I am here as you demanded. Just release him and we will leave," Tasuku said. They were too much in danger to afford anything brave.

"-I'm sorry, but you aren't allowed to leave yet. There is more to come.-"

"You only asked us to come here and here we are," the green dragon crossed his arms and let out a small smirk, "The letter you sent simply asked that and no more. According to the laws, it is like a contract and you cannot break it," he played with the words but was kinda correct since the meaning of contract changed in the beginning of 2020. He was his claw, "And we fulfill our part. Unless it is illegal than you have to let us go with the Omni Lord."

The crowed was getting pissed at that reply and expressed their angers and strong disappointment.

Jackknife wanted so much to add the, 'It's the law bitch.' Comment but held that back.

Rouga crossed his arms and lightly chuckled, "He got them. If he admits anything then they lose."

Cerberus nodded. They could end their mission pretty quickly. They already were recording what was going.

"-Nice come back I admit. However. I don't care about what happen to this club anymore. You are here and since that Fiend appeared, I do not fear the Buddy Police Force,-" the cruel reply came. He outright admit what it was and clapped his hands, "-If you stop this battle from happening, there might be a riot from the fans with their monsters trying to tear down the city.-"

And it's the worse time to deal with a riot with humans and monsters, the two Buddy Police Officers thought. Tasuku calmed down and replied, "And the BFFUN would come and deal with the terrorist."

"-BFFUN?-" the owner of the Buddyfight Club asked.

"Buddy Fighting Force Of The United Nations. It is much bigger than this riot and will quickly stop any possible mess," Tasuku said as he showed his cellphone opened to Commander I, "My superior is aware of this and they are ready to act."

"-Clever human-," he chuckled while the two wondered what he said. "-I'm afraid they won't have to act. I'll give them what they want-"

The silhouette walked away as a large gate appeared. They stood ready, wondering what was coming.

"-Prepare to fight my buddy. If you win, you can arrest me and do whatever you want. If you lose, just tell your little group to go away. Either way, the Omni Lord will be with you. I like people like you who have guts and have the brain to utilise its guts to its fullest. I am not merciful. Honestly, I was mostly testing you and who you are.-"

The silhouette of a monster appeared, walking towards them. His large size made it obvious at to why the arena was so big in the first place.

"-I do not want a real riot anywhere on Earth. It would be a massacre. Even if you are quick to act. That just prove who quickly efficient the Buddy Police Forces are. Criminals will fear you when you reach your 18. I can already see you taking your commander's place. Such a beautiful future you will give Japan. If there is still a Japan.-"

The change of tone confused the boy and his father figure as they prepared to face the monster. Tasuku activated his Core Gadget and buddyskills.

The monster appeared in the light and made the two in awe. Jackknife said, "It's a Star Dragon."

They face a large bipedal dragon with his body mostly covered by a golden armor and a few circles of color on different part of his body. He had six horns, three on each side. He had two large wings connected to the shoulder blades of his arms. His tail divided into two separated tail on his back.

The dragon matched towards them quietly and stood near the duo.

"-This is my buddy. I hope you are ready to challenge them in a buddyfight. Because everyone is ready to enjoy it!-"

The crowed cheered at upcoming battle. Tasuku frowned as it was inevitable, "If you do anything to him. You will regret it!"

"-I have no intention of doing so. You did what I told you so and decided to fight against my buddy; Variable Cord.-"

The owner of the club was lightly chuckling, while the Star Dragon did the same thing. He covered his mouth with his metallic wings before stretching them away.

Meanwhile, Rouga and his buddy frowned at the situation.

"This battle isn't fair Rouga. I can see that this dragon is extremely powerful," Cerberus grunted.

"Variable Cord," the teenage boy crossed his arms and wondered what would happen now, what should we do? He wasn't certain of his next course of action. He decided to remain on standby and sat down, "Let's wait Cerberus."

"What?"

"We cannot do anything right now. I don't know why they accepted the fight but there must be something going on."

"Tasuku did say that Omni Lord will be with them."

"What is going on?" The silver haired boy wondered loudly. It was obvious that something bigger was going on in town, "Can it be just like with Azi Dahaka?"

"You also think there is something big going on right now too. Whatever it is, Tasuku won't say anything else."

"I'll call Kyoya later and find out what is going on. I'm getting worried," he admitted.

"I'm sure he will tell you what is going on," he concluded to his human buddy.

An explosion got their attention and saw Jackknife flying high in the air with Variable Cord was chasing the green dragon.

Jackknife avoided the laser coming at him with speed and agility. He was glad that his buddy wasn't targeted or he would have been much more aggressive in the buddyfight. He ignored the crowed and focused only on finding a way to defeat this golden star dragon. It didn't make sense to him that such dragon would side with someone causing all of this.

He closed his wings and dropped, letting the other dragon pass near him. He then flew down and gained momentum. He waited for a change to counter. He played as the prey in this game and didn't care at all. The arena offered little space for their battle when they flew around but his smaller size gave him more mobility that he intended to exploit.

He just wanted a chance to show that dragon what he could do while avoiding massive wounds. He saw how the other battles ended. He knew how Tasuku would feel if something like that happened to him.

He avoided more beams coming at him and gained altitude. When he passed where they saw the owner of the Buddyfight Club, the silhouette of a human was gone for some reason. One quick gaze at his buddy and saw that the boy was also checking that spot and saw the same thing. He then refocused on his battle.

When Variable Cord was close to the wall, he had his chance. He turned around and charged, blade of his helmet pointing forward. He avoided the blast coming at him and pierced the armor protecting the shoulder of the golden dragon. Sparked flew around him as the Star Dragon yelled painfully, blood coming out of the wound.

The crowed was now quiet. None of them expected the green dragon to hurt the buddy of their champion.

The victory they wanted became uncertain.

Rouga let out a small grin, "They clearly underestimated Tasuku and Jackknife."

"And Tasuku didn't do anything yet. They will panic if they saw him using the Future Force," Cerberus added.

The boy frowned, "As long as this Variable Cord isn't holding back, their victory is assured."

His buddy gazed at Tasuku, "And I think they are expecting that dragon to hold back."

A small and strange sound came from the owner of the Buddyfight Club. When he spoke, his voice sounded a little off as if he was holding something back, "-Not bad Jackknife. Now, let the match really start.-"

The duo frowned as they watched how Tasuku would reply.

The blue haired boy gazed at Variable Cord and replied to the owner of the Buddyfight Club, "As you wish," he gazed at the golden dragon, "Variable Cord."

That dragon looked at the boy.

"I saw your mouth moving and your little grunt of pain," Tasuku pointed at the dragon, "You aren't a good puppeteer."

The golden dragon attacked Jackknife who avoided his claws, "As I expected from you Tasuku. Your buddy isn't even surprised. I'm sure you heard people talking often when they are in pain."

"We ended up in many battles," Jackknife replied. He pointed his claw at the dragon, "Besides, something was off when the owner was suddenly gone."

The other dragon let out a large grin, "Anyway. Let's continue this battle, shall we?"

Rouga and Cerberus knew that their mission was completed now. They found out who the owner really way for the cop. However, there was something they didn't like in that victory.

"He just gave it up like that," the boy commented.

"I don't like this. When you discard something, you keep it a secret, you have a reason for that. Or don't anymore," his buddy added his thought.

Jackknife avoided more beam coming at him from the golden dragon and a few close calls. He flew as high as he could while avoiding the attacks. He knew that the other dragon wasn't holding back anymore. Suddenly, the other dragon stopped attacking him. He gave one quick gaze back and the dragon was gone, "What?"

Variable Cord said, "Behind you," and when Jackknife gazed at him, he punched the dragon and sent him towards the ground.

Jackknife managed to regain his balance and avoided crashing on the ground, turning around and landing on his feet. He slid on the ground as he stopped himself.

The golden dragon fired a beam at him and had knew the other dragon had no chance to avoid it.

Tasuku used a spell, "Earth Barrier!" and the barrier appeared and protected his buddy.

The blue barrier with a golden star resisted the powerful beam and disappeared once the attack was done.

The green dragon took his chance to fly once again and built momentum. He stopped when Variable Cord appeared in front of him and avoided the claws at the last second. He avoided the tail coming at him and flew around the large dragon.

Jackknife grunted at how quick that dragon was. He just disappeared out of his face in the split of a second. It was just unnatural.

Tasuku grew nervous as the battle progressed. He saw how their power was different and how the golden dragon was slowly dominating his buddy. He tried finding a way to fight back against that dragon but his mind was blank. That dragon just suddenly disappeared from time to time to attack his buddy by surprise, there is something else going on with Variable Cord. He is doing something to just go really fast but what? What is he doing? He tried searching for a way or a spell to counter that dragon but nothing appeared in his mind.

Jackknife reflexes were quick enough to avoid most of the attack of the other dragon but a few of them were either too close or scratched his green scales. He was incapable of taking the offensive. The other dragon never slowed down, even with the wound on his shoulder.

The golden dragon appeared near the dragon again, claws ready to cut him down when another barrier stopped his attack. The barrier cracked under the impact and the boy painfully grumbled.

"Jack. I have to use it," the boy warned his buddy.

Jackknife wasn't certain if it was a good idea but with their current predicament, that was the best solution they had. They have to go all out and defeat that dragon if they wanted to stop all of this and saved the Omni Lord, "Do it Tasuku!"

"Let's go with the Future Force!" the boy declared as his blue hair went longer. He grew his next card, ready to finish this buddyfight in one hit.

Rouga watched this and was taken aback by the ability of the boy, "So this is what was used to defeat my friend."

"And Azi Dahaka," the three-headed wolf commented. He frowned when the other dragon didn't seem surprised, "And Variable Cord isn't reacting to it. Was he expecting it?"

"Maybe he saw worse. We know nothing of that dragon," his buddy replied.

As for the rest of the crowed, they didn't know what it was but felt the power coming from the boy. None of them said anything and were both in awe and fear of the blue haired boy.

Tasuku noticed the lack of reaction but didn't mind it. He only wanted one of the two results with it. Either defeat Variable Cord with his Impact Card or weakening him enough for his buddy to end this battle. They had bigger threat to deal with than an owner of the Buddyfight Club, "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 golden dragon faced the power and was ready to do anything he could to resist it. He hid a small smirk as he thought, everything according to my prognostic. I forced you two to use your best card... Quite literally.

Rouga and his buddy covered themselves as the power of the impact card was unleashed. They weren't the only one as everyone did the same.

The simple appearance of that impact card scared everyone.

"This will scare them for a while!" the boy commented.

"And won't come here if they knew Tasuku is here to arrest them!"

And I want to awaken the Future Force, the boy thought but was uncertain of the possibility.

The giant draconic hand aimed at Variable Cord, ready to annihilate the monster into submission.

The golden dragon crossed his arms and felt the impact gravely. Something began to shine on his chest as he fought back against the power of the boy. He painfully grumbled as he began to drop by the power of the boy, this is… much stronger than anticipated! This… power! It is needed! "Victory shall be mine Tasuku!" The dragon got over excited and began to yell as he fought back.

Jackknife remained close to his buddy, ready to grab him when he reached his limits. The green dragon saw blood coming out of the arms of the golden dragon. It was as if a small fountain was opened at the arm section of that monster.

Eventually, Tasuku began to give a few signs of weakness and his arm lowered.

Their adversary wasn't giving in but felt the power of the impact. No matter how much confident he was.

"Tasuku now!" his buddy ordered.

The boy ended the impact card and put it in his core gadget.

Jackknife charged at a perfect timing. The effect of the impact was gone and the dragon was besides the golden one. He readied his blade to finish the other dragon. He remained cautious in his upcoming assault. He won't underestimate that Star Dragon.

Variable Cord turned his head and saw the green dragon approaching him. He noticed that his guard was up for anything he might try, but you aren't expecting this, he chuckled at that thought.

Jackknife tried to impale the dragon who jumped at the last second.

The golden dragon flipped in the air and when he was upside down in mid-air, his claw approached the next of the green dragon and grabbed a white wire in the armor that connected to his fleshy body. He cut it with his fang and landed back on his feet, "It's over."

Tasuku's buddy painfully grunted as he lost control of his body and crashed against the wall and slid on the ground. He tried to stand up but couldn't.

"Jack!" the boy yelled. He tried to go to him but suddenly had a moment of weakness because of the Impact Card, why now? He landed on the ground and watched the golden dragon with a small grin.

"I win this buddyfight Tasuku. You impressed me," his tone sounded more kind suddenly and made the boy nervous, "I haven't told you my name and title yet. I am Sixth Omni Storm Lord, Variable Cord."

"W-what?" the boy and his buddy yelled.

"That's right. I was the Omni Lord all along," he waved at them with a small smile.

"W-why did you do all of this?" the boy yelled.

"When I learned that your buddy became a Star Dragon. I was a little concerned. After all, those modifications can cause some sudden problem as you see. One little detail and your buddy is barely capable of moving," he pointed his claw at the green dragon who seemed to spasm, "It was better this way than in an actual battle against one of his servants, am I right?"

The boy didn't like the way the Omni Lord was explaining things to him.

Cerberus explained what he heard with his better ears. Meanwhile, his buddy was giving the signal to the cops and the buddy cops to act right now. He said what he learned and what happened.

Jackknife tried to see what was going on but his vision was getting fogy. He had trouble seeing anything. He could see a shape of gold near him while he could barely recognise his buddy. He felt his back sparkled and winced in pain. The dragon wanted to stand up, approached his buddy and reassuring him. He felt that the boy was beginning to panic.

The golden dragon approached the other dragon and continued talking, "You might wonder why I was underground, working as a Buddyfight Club. The answer is simple. Monsters and humans carve for battle and I provide it. There is nothing official, except for that tournament. Why an Omni Lord too? But that is just to observe things from where Yamigedo would never expect me to be. Anyway, there are many things to do but first, your buddy needs help," he approached the green dragon.

"Stay away from Jack!" Tasuku yelled as he tried to stand up and fall.

"He needs help and your world cannot provide it. I will bring him to Star Dragon World and check what is wrong," the dragon let out a small smirk that made the boy strongly uneasy. He gently grabbed the green dragon and lifted him on the palm of his hands. The golden dragon gazed at the boy, "Don't worry. No one will hurt him."

A gate of light appeared over the golden dragon. The Omni Lord began to float towards it, ready to go to Star Dragon World.

However, Tasuku already knew that something wasn't right in this picture. No one could just go to another world anywhere they want and there was nothing for that to happen over there, "Jack!"

"T-Tasuku," the dragon was weakly saying. The green dragon eye had less light in it. He grumbled as he tried to say something or do something. His body was getting weaker and weaker, Am I dying? I… I can't! "Tasuku," the dragon used all his strength to yell, "I will be back Tasuku!"

The dragons went through the gate.

"Jack! Jack!" the boy yelled. The gate was gone and the boy was shivering. As he felt on his knees, he heard the sound of the Buddy Police Forces and the Police Forces storming in. He knew that they entered inside the building. The boy ignored that. He was just panting and looking at the air, Jack… That dragon prophecy was right… I am separated from you. Jack, he sobbed and tears felt from his eyes.

"Tasuku!" someone said. He raised his eyes and saw Takihara coming by his side, "Are you alright? Did someone attack you?"

"Jack… Variable Cord… took him away," he sobbed.

The man hugged him and said nothing else.

"I… I lost him again," the blue haired boy sobbed.

"We were too late. I'm… I'm so sorry," the man replied.

"He… he warned me it would happen and I couldn't stop it."

Meanwhile, the Police and the Buddy Police continued with the arrestations and gathering the information's. The day slowly came to an end. Tasuku heart was wounded.

After everything that went down and the information was given to Commander I and Count Dawn, Tasuku went home. Takihara drove him home and the boy explained a little more how he knew what happened.

The boy felt weak as he walked inside his house. His eyes went around. He was alone. His buddy was gone. The presence of the dragon was absent. Last ywar, Demios was with him and prevented the boy to feel that way. He was so alone. He wanted to call Gao but his friend was going somewhere and didn't have his cellphone.

He sat alone on the couch and sobbed quietly, "Jack," he cleaned his eyes and began to feel the weight on his shoulder. His buddy was taken away and couldn't do anything. The boy still had trouble to understand what happened back there.

He felt weak and on his own. His cellphone rang once and the boy picked it up. He saw a message from Takihara, "What does he want?" he opened the message and read it.

It's not over Tasuku. You said that it was a prophecy that you two would be separated. It was all that it said. Nothing more. Then you cannot give up just like when your buddy never gave up on you. You have to fight back and take your buddy back!

There was more encouragement from the man.

Once he read everything, he cleaned his face. He read it many more times and the other messages he got from his friends and other coworkers. He read everything and the weight felt less heavy because of his friends.

I am not alone, he was still sad but he had some resolve on his face, "You are right Takihara. Jackknife did everything to be back with me. He endured so many things," he sobbed as more tears came out. He was still a child. Even so, he wouldn't give up, "I can't give up. I know you are still alive Jack. I will find you and I will save you. Hang in there. We will be together once again."

He then took time to reply to everyone with a short message and a smile at the end, Thank you everyone. I'm feeling a little better.

He gazed outside the window and told himself that he couldn't give up. He had to continue.

Count Dawn thought back on the explanation given by Tasuku before he left. He grabbed his beard and had many questions without answers. The only one who had it was gone. He did contact Star Dragon World and Variable Cord wasn't there with Jackknife, "What are you up too?" he wondered. He sighed and focused on finding the other Omni Lords and dealing with Yamigedo. The monster wasn't certain when Yamigedo would come back or why he was inactive for now.

Gao's family were inside the car of a train as they checked on the tickets offered by Kyoya. Their buddies were with them. Only Hanae didn't come with them. She stayed home to watch over everything and taking care of the rest for Tenbu's funeral. His parents did hesitate to leave as not everything was ready but Hanae told them that she did and dealt with death more times than them.

Gao watched outside and saw the woods starting to get dense, "I hope this will help us," he whispered.

AC: This is the end of this episode.

Another sad ending for an episode but Tasuku remains strong. He is going the Jackknife path of the previous season. Jackknife will only be saved in the next Act, so he will need a new buddy.

Next: Joker, Guardian Of Secrets.

Gao and his family will go somewhere else and meet a friend they didn't meet for a year.

After this, we will have a few episodes with the other characters with one about Tasuku in the early middle of them.
