A monster walked alone in the empty street of a large city. He looked left and right and saw nothing in this desolated town. He recognised it as a city made by humans with its structures. His gaze went left and right as he searched for his friend, "Akatsuki?"

It was Ziun who was lost in this strange city. The emptiness of Tokyo was uncanny. A town filled with humans and monsters shouldn't just be empty like that. His pace accelerated. He decided to explore the house where he lived right now. He stopped when a sound resonated in the empty city. A strange object felt on the ground and the sound echoed.

The monster looked around and heard it again. On the ground, he saw a green jewel rolling towards him. He slowly grabbed it. He could see his reflection on it, "What is that? It's… familiar," he wasn't sure what this object was but it looked similar to the one Drum had in his hand that one time he saw it. The one that was owned by Tenbu, "An… Omni Lord emblem. Could it be mine? Am I really an Omni Lord?"

Suddenly, the reflection began to talk to him, "Ziun. It is time to prepare yourself. Prepare yourself to leave your friends behind."

"W-"

"You are an Omni Lord. You have duties and responsibilities. Know that when you will remember all, you will forget all about your friends. The time with Akatsuki will be buried under your real memories."

Cold sweat formed under the fur of the lion like being as he dropped the emblem, "Akatsuki… forget him… I won't!"

"How can you be certain? It is inevitable. A small sacrifice for the worlds."

Ziun closed his eyes and turned his head to the left. I'm… I'm doing it again, he lowered it as he grumbled, "But- I might not forget them," No! I won't let myself down! He frowned and gazed at the emblem, "I will remember everything and never forget them!"

"If you don't remember your duty… Akatsuki will die."

"I will remember everything and I won't forget him," he grabbed the Omni Lord emblem and looked at his reflection.

The reflection had a small smile, "It is who you really are. Even without memories, you are still you."

Suddenly, the city became lively as silhouettes of the humans began marching in the city.

Ziun suddenly woke up as he lightly panted. He felt the comfort of the bed. He felt the boy hugging him and gazed at the boy, what was that dream? He had trouble making sense. Thinking back, he did become a little nervous about what would happen when he remembered everything. The uncertainty was affecting him a little but always buried it and ignored it when Akatsuki was with him most of the day. The monster smiled at his friend.

"I will remember everything Akatsuki. I will get my power back so I can protect you and everyone. And… I will never forget you and what you did for me. I promise," he then closed his eyes and returned to his slumber.

Episode 17: In Search Of Memories

Zanya, Akatsuki, Tsukikage and Ziun walked inside the Headquarters and waited at the entrance for someone to meet them.

Akatsuki whined, "It was so hot today."

"We got a bigger heatstroke than last year," his big brother agreed. Zanya never sweat that much and cleaned his forehead.

Ziun sighed, "It was horrible. Got too much fur for this season."

"Maybe we should-"

"Don't finish that," the Omni Lord pouted as he waved his finger at them. He gazed at the ninja monster. That monster from Katana World felt the heat too with steam coming out of his body.

"When will she be here?" the young boy wondered.

The older brother was a little nervous that a woman was coming with them but not as much as a girl of his age.

"I'm here," the woman said.

Stella came towards them. Everyone greeted each other's and smiled at them.

Ziun tried to say her name to ask something, "So Miss…"

"Stella."

"Miss Stella. Did you find anything about my memories?"

The woman nodded, "We have found a few things but nothing about your memories. However, I hope it will help you remember things."

Zanya was quiet with a woman close to him. Tsukikage sighed with a small smile and took out his scroll, what did you found out?

"We asked help with China and they filled us a few details when we spoke about you," she searched in her pockets, "Let me check this out," she took out a picture in her tablet and showed it, "This is what they gave us."

They looked at it and saw the image of the temple where the statue disappeared. They saw the original statue and it looked very similarly to Ziun himself. He frowned as he gazed at it. It didn't really tell him anything. He shook his head and replied, "Nothing is coming back, I fear. Just seeing that picture of me in stone… I guess," he was uncertain if it really was himself.

She showed the next one and the statue was gone, "The authorities told us that there was no one who stole the statue. The only way it could disappear would be if it went away on its own. This temple is considered important for China and made sure that everything is well maintained. Very few peoples can go and visit it."

"So, the security to even enter in there was heavy," Zanya concluded.

"Then you did come from there," Akatsuki added.

The monster thought harder and very few things came back. He had the vague memory of awakening there a while ago, "I think so. I remember waking up there but nothing more. I don't know why I decide to be there or why I woke up. There is way too much things I don't remember."

"Don't worry, we found other things that might help you. A policeman found something suspicious a few days ago and from the picture he sent us, it might be related to you. Let's go in the car, I'll drive you there. It will be easier to remember things in person than a simple picture."

"Let's go Ziun," the young boy grabbed the hand of his friend and they went outside.

Zanya and Tsukikage were behind with Stella.

"Nin," Are you sure that it could be about him?

"Yes. Looking at his face was our clue. Very few monsters look like him," she replied.

They wondered what was going on as they went in the car.

The group was in the car and were quiet. Ziun felt a little tense at what would be waiting for him. Questions repeated in his mind about what might help him with his memories, did I do something wrong? Did Yamigedo or one of his demons attacked me before I lost my memories? The one question that didn't come was about what would happen when his memories would come back. The monster knew that he could do everything to remember everything he lived with them.

He grabbed the hand of his friend and gazed at Akatsuki, "I hope I'll remember everything. Because I won't let Yamigedo and his demons hurt anyone," he let out a warm smile, confident in himself. He won't doubt himself anymore. He won't allow himself to get overwhelm for anything. He will be strong.

His friend smiled, "We will help you."

They said nothing else. Zanya was as far as possible from Stella in the car and it was his buddy who sat at the front seat. He tried to looked elsewhere and did notice a few cars following them. It was civil cars, are we tailed?

"What did you find Stella?" the older brother asked her.

The woman gazed at him, "I think we might have found the place where he lost his memories. I'm not certain when I saw the mark itself in the picture. It's best we go see it in person."

"But what is it?" Ziun asked her.

The woman hesitated and replied, "It's best to see it. I don't know how to describe it well."

Zanya understood who was tailing them when he gazed at the Omni Lord, of course. Ziun could get attacked in the open. With Yamigedo back in his body, we can't tell how long before another demon is release. I wonder who thought about that?

After half an hour, they reached their destination. They were near the bridge and watched the small wall behind the benches. The five observed it quietly, disbelief written on their faces.

The top of the wall was damaged as it was crushed by something. The damage was small but it was clear that something felt on it. It looked like it was something big that left a print of its face on it and a hole on the print. They observed it and it became clear what the hole would be.

The group gazed at the monster and looked at the horn.

"Do you think… that's where I felt?" Ziun asked.

"We believe it is the case. I can see where the horn could have fallen and that and where it is… It can be your nose," she pointed at his big nose.

"It is a big nose you have," the young boy commented as he poked it.

The monster put his hand on his snout and pressed it for a few seconds and frowned. After this, he looked at the others.

Tsukikage took out his scroll, "Nin," Maybe you should try to see if your horn can go in there and maybe your face too.

The monster scratched his head and grumbled, "I don't really remember something causing a bump. With something like that… I cannot imagine to do something like that," he couldn't believe it.

"Maybe you should try it Ziun. We will know for sure if you felt there or not," Zanya suggested as he crossed his arms.

The Omni Lord gazed at the mark and turned into his real form. He stood on his hand and placed himself on the hole and slowly lowered himself. He made sure that his horn entered in the hole. Once it was safely inserted, he continued dropping and his face squished on the mark. He didn't feel like anything was really poking him as he hoped. Nothing was wrong. It was where he felt, "I… I have to admit. I think I crashed here and lost my memories," he jumped down the wall and returned to his SD form, "I don't know how I felt there but I landed there, face first… I have to accept this."

The humans had trouble really believing that the monster failed a landing like that. It might have a reason for it.

"Maybe there was something or someone that pushed you when you weren't aware," Akatsuki guessed as he suggested it.

The amnesiac monster grumbled, "I hope it is the case," he played with his fingers, "What kind of Omni Lords would be that clumsy?"

"You aren't," Zanya replied.

"I'm sure it was just an accident or someone tried to hurt you," his younger brother added.

That made him feel better and nodded.

The monster gazed once again where he landed and nothing big came back, "Nothing really big came back. I just know it was here and face first. Not my memories thought," his dream came back and the green gem he took in his hands. He remembered that it was the Omni Lord Emblem. It was his emblem. He had to get it and maybe his memories would come back, "Maybe I dropped something here," and began searching around there.

"What are you searching?" Stella asked, she had one last place to check but it seemed that the monster had something in mind.

"The Omni Lord Emblem. My Omni Lord Emblem. I just remember that in a dream. It was a stone like the one Tenbu gave to Drum but green. It must be lost somewhere here," the monster replied.

The humans and Tsukikage immediately began searching. The nanomachine ninja used his ability to split into many smaller versions of himself to search for the emblem faster.

Zanya gasped when the woman was too close and went farther away.

They searched in the bushes, under the grass and in anything that could hide the Omni Lord Emblem.

Near them was Sofia, Shido and Gallows watching them searching for something in the ground. They just came there and didn't hear what they said before.

"What are they doing sha?" the darkness dragon wondered quietly.

"What are they searching?" the girl wondered.

"Probably something stupid," Gallows answered.

"Tsukikage is small, it must be important and r- what is that?" the boy pointed at the spot where Ziun crash landed.

They looked at it and found it looked a little like a face, "I don't know but it's not important Shido. We have a mission. I'll attack them with my demon. Stand aside and call me if anyone is coming to save them. Maybe Paruko will be there again," she took out her card and gazed at her friend.

"Sure. Just be sure that demon won't attack you like that other one," he replied before leaving the two.

"Can I have the fan back?" the monster asked.

"It is mine and you won't have it," she replied before telling, "Time to get rid of them."

"Just like last time, don't complain," Gallows said before fusing with her.

Sofia grumbled, "I know. It's not you who decided that."

"Nope. The buddyskills I give is this one sha," the monster replied.

Death Shido held the skull, ready to attack them. She wondered how to proceed as she will have to fight two monsters at the same time if she got them. It was the best strategy anyway to pull this up.

She watched them continuing to search for something and it was obvious that success wouldn't come their way today. Observing them was the best course of actions. Stella was there and more could be nearby and watching them. She felt something vibrating and it was her cellphone.

"That felt weird. Like the cellphone was in my thoracic cage sha. Not really a nice feeling," the monster commented while she checked the messages.

Stella. I saw a few Buddy Police Cops around here. Careful. Had to walk away or I might get in trouble.

She replied, Thanks.

After replying, she put her cell back where she picked it up and continued watching, "More cops around. We have to get them quickly before they come with their buddy monsters."

"I don't see them."

"They must be undercover. Like ordinary citizens. That's a tactic to follow suspects or to protect someone."

"And that someone is the Omni Lord sha. Got an idea?"

"Yes. I need to wait for the moment where they are together and close. We don't have a big chance to get them. Only one chance."

Meanwhile, the five who were searching for the Omni Lord Emblem sighed in exhaustion. They searched all this time and found absolutely nothing. They searched every corner.

"Where could it be? I must have it on me before I ended up there and losing my memories," the amnesiac Omni Lord crossed his arms in frustration. It was his chance to get back his memories and really be able to protect everyone.

"Don't worry. There is one last place we can look," Stella replied.

"You are beginning to remember things. I'm sure we can do it!" Akatsuki encourage him.

He grabbed the hand of the boy and nodded.

"Nin," Tsukikage showed his scroll to his buddy, I don't every remember Tenbu holding it on him. It that ball was somewhere, it would be in his helmet.

"And we would have heard something. Those emblems are more special than I thought," the older boy agreed, where could it be? Are we understanding something wrong? He wasn't certain but with Tenbu as an example, it was telling them that something else was at plan with those emblems.

"Anyway, let's go," Zanya concluded.

"Where do you think you are going?" someone asked as the darkness began to surround them.

"A barrier!" Zanya yelled.

"Death Shido is nearby!" Stella gave raised her hand and turned it into a fist.

Many people quickly ran towards them with their buddies but were stopped when a spell was activated. It slowed them down long enough for the barrier to be completely formed and isolating them from the victims of Yamigedo's servant.

Tsukikage was already in his true form as he drew his Katana, ready for the upcoming battle. Zanya also activated his buddyskill and drew a card from his katana.

Ziun took his true form and stood protectively in front of his friend and Stella. He clenched his hands but remained on the back. He was uncertain about his true battleskills as long as his memories remained forgotten, I wish it would come back now. Because I need it. At least how I really fight.

Death Shido raised her card and summoned her demon, "Come! Song Heart Ninja, Kogetsu!"

Another monster from Katana World appeared in front of them.

It was a monster that looked very human compared to other demons they encountered and monsters from Katana World. The humanoid monster gazed at them with his pale green eyes, adjusting his white hair that was in the way. He wore many katanas of different size on his back, some shorts and others longer. He wore a black suit with silver armor plates on his arms and legs while a black scarf hid his mouth and neck, "What is my mission?" he asked passively.

"We have to eliminate Ziun, the Omni Lord," she ordered.

"Good. I will proceed now," he drew his long katana and charged.

Zanya's buddy appeared in the way and blocked the blade with his own katana. The two shinobi monsters glared at each other's for a few seconds. They tried to overpowered one each other.

"You are standing in the way of Yamigedo's will?" the demon asked without any emotions. He seemed bored but it didn't really feel like it.

"Nin," Tsukikage replied.

"They won't let you kill our friend!" Akatsuki yelled.

"So, I shall eliminate you first," Kogetsu concluded before standing away.

The two tried to cut each other with their weapons. The sound of their katana's metal bouncing on each other's resonated within the barrier. None of them could pass the guard of the others as they remained cautious about their adversary.

Zanya had his spellcard out, ready to do anything the moment anything seems to go wrong. Death Shido was in the same stance and calmly looked at him.

Meanwhile, at the buddy force headquarter, Tasuku was listening to the reports currently given and frowned. A demon attacked yesterday and another one today. He lightly clenched his hands. He wanted to do more but couldn't.

Commander I was busy to coordinate everything while he went to the scene himself.

It was more than that. He wanted to find his buddy as fast as possible. He couldn't do anything for him too. All of this made him cumulate the stress and the weight on his shoulders. Even so, he would everything to help them. He will not let this overwhelm him. He relaxed and focus on his mission.

From what he learned, Stella was also in the barrier and it worried him. She might not be someone who went on the frontline but when she was absent, anyone could feel it. He knew that everyone was much more on edge now. The situation was tenser that if she was there. Stella was someone who could say just a few things and everyone would calm down a little and focus much more on the mission.

I have to be that person now, "Okay everyone, let's focus…" he didn't know how and couldn't be that person. However, he will bring everyone back to focus, "We need to be sure that Yamigedo's servants don't get away with this. We might not have a visual but we are already on the scene. I want everyone to block any escape route and cover as much ground as possible. From what we know, the barrier is taking a large space and people who were in it might not end up at the same spot the next time."

"-Roger-".

He kept coordinating everything, I want to do so much more but I can't, the boy was frustrated by that fact. Even so, he could still do something and that was important right now. He had something appearing in his mind but ignored it for now. It wasn't the time to think about that.

Ikazuchi smirked when he watched the battle unfolding in his eyes. Yamigedo was in his SD form and panted a little but the heat.

"I can't believe it's hotter than yesterday," the Great Fiend complained.

"From what the two said, it wasn't the worse heatstroke that the country faced," the teenage boy replied.

"I am glad it isn't the worse one," the monster grumbled. He focused on the battle and saw that the two were equal in power for now, "Kogetsu is holding back once again. I told him to give everything he has but when it's not his target, he holds back like that," he crossed his arms and nodded to himself.

"Is everyone demons problematic in some way?"

"Alas yes. Many of them had flaws that made them easily to take control off or to use them to join my side. I had to get them many ways and I didn't have time to perfectly picked each of my hundred demons," Yamigedo admitted.

"Like those two you got f- that way," Ikazuchi commented with some disgust.

"I don't even know if I really did that! They might be lying! I had no memories of such events. Ikazuchi," the monster took his real form and grabbed the boy, gently, "I would never have obtained a demon in such disgusting way."

The boy avoided the gaze of the fiend, clearly showing that it might be possible. He saw many sides of the monster, even the most childish one with Tenbu.

"And you are doubting me about that?" his snout was an inch from his precious friend.

The teenager put his hand on the snout of his friend and replied, "The two demons wouldn't have joined you if it was a lie. Anyway, the battle is going on and Kogetsu is still not taking the battle seriously."

The giant monster pouted at the reply and that his defense was dismissed like that. He let out a small defeated smile, taking comfort that Ikazuchi didn't mind if he might have those flaws, which he didn't. He put the boy on his shoulder and watched the battle unfolding, they better get Ziun soon. We don't know how long before the other Omni lords will come.

Tsukikage dropped his weapon and blocked the next attack with a kunai. The blade of his enemy slid on the Kunai and stopped just an inch from the left eye of the shinobi.

He jumped in the air when a kick was coming at him and flipped in the air when the blade of the Kanata came at him. The black shinobi landed on the ground and ducked when shuriken's came at him. He grabbed a flash bomb and threw it on the ground.

In a flash, the black ninja was gone.

Kogetsu searched around for the other ninja but saw no traces of him, "Fighting the shinobi way now," he lightly slid his boots and a small blade appeared with a dip of poison fluid on it.

Zanya frowned as he was ready to cast a spell. He hoped it would be the perfect moment to cast it and not too late.

The demon in human form looked around for anyone trying to ambush him. His eyes checked for any enemies around, above or behind him. He didn't notice anything. It was as if the monster vanished out of existence.

Death Shido frowned as she also looked around, "What did he do?"

"I don't know Sofia. I cannot see him. That ninja never used all of his tricks against me," Gallows grumbled loudly, "He was holding back all along!"

"Or he mastered something recently," she replied.

"Better be that," the darkness dragon pouted. He was insulted at the thought of an enemy holding back in a battle against him. It was like someone mocking him for being weak. His ego wouldn't tolerate that. He tried to look more but, in his form, he lost his dragon vision to the level of a human.

Akatsuki looked around with his friend and frowned, "Where is he?"

Ziun thought about it and replied, "He is somewhere. There is no place to hide for an ambush," he frowned as he looked more carefully. He did notice a few very small shades of black around the monster. His vision was superior to the humans and the other monsters and was glad for it.

Zanya smiled when he understood what was going on, when you are ready, so am I, he changed his spellcard for another one.

The waiting game continued as everyone wondered when the monster would manifest itself.

Suddenly, when Kogetsu was looking in the air, the black shinobi reappeared under the other ninja monster. Tsukikage had his katana back in his hands.

Once everyone noticed that, they wondered how he got back his weapon and when.

The black ninja aimed at the chest of the demon but was blocked when the other one drew his short katana. Tsukikage offensive was stopped but the monster wasn't taken aback by his failed attack. He twisted himself and gave a powerful kick in the face, sending the demon in the air.

The black ninja threw shurikens at his adversary but Kogetsu was replaced by a piece of woods, a spell that had been activated.

"I'll get you now," the demon said before throwing his own shurikens.

Tsukikage blocked them and avoided the last one, when a kunai suddenly pierced his shoulders. He winced and took it out, before throwing it on the ground.

"Weapons can hide other weapons," Kogetsu said as he held on katana on each hand, "I shall eliminate you too," he frowned with some interest now.

It was clear that the monster with human form wouldn't hold back anymore, which made Zanya lost some confidence. It was already difficult and it was the monster who held back in the battle.

The demon charged at the other shinobi and tried to cut his enemy in pieces. His blades failed to reach the ninja many times as the monster was quick enough to block the two blades with his two hands. He ducked when the attack passed over him and countered with a low kick, which hit Tsukikage leg and he lost his balance.

Kogetsu was ready to decapitate the head of the ninja.

"Shooting Cross Knives, Right-hand!" Zanya yelled. The cross knives hit the side of the demon and made him painfully grunted as he grabbed one of them and threw it back at Zanya. The spell deactivated and the weapon that went to the boy disappeared.

"I forgot about you human. You didn't really do anything at the beginning," the ninja commented as he blocked the other ninja. He did another kick, but the blade hidden in his boots was out and slashed the chest of the black ninja.

Tsukikage grunted as he took a few steps back and evaded the next attack of the shinobi. The nanomachine ninja had no choice but to stay on the defensive and put away any idea of taking the offensive in this battle. Each strike forced him to take a step back to avoid the next attack coming at him but got wounded a few times on his chest and shoulders. Being a nanomachine ninja prevented him from bleeding but his combat effectives was dropping slowly. He saw one blade aiming for his eye.

"Art Of Body Replacement!" Zanya yelled.

The black ninja was sent elsewhere while a piece of wood took the hit instead of himself.

Tsukikage charged with his palm opened, ready to hit the face of the demon while his katana was ready to slash.

Kogetsu blocked the weapon of his enemy with his two katanas and grunted when he saw the palm coming at his face. He didn't mind getting hit but gasped when a secret blade came out at the last second under the wrist of the black shinobi. He moved his head to avoid the attack but it slashed his left cheeks and blood came out of his wound. He grunted when he pushed the katana away and stabbed the gut of the ninja.

"Tsukikage!" Zanya and Akatsuki yelled.

The nanomachine ninja made a quiet nin as he took a few steps back and lost his balance as his strength decreased. He blocked the next attack and the second one, but was kicked on the side and felt the hidden blade piercing flank side as he was sent toward his buddies.

Zanya used an offensive spell but it was countered by Death Shido.

Death Shido observed the situation and said, "The time has come to surrender. Give us your life Omni Lord Ziun and we will spare Tsukikage."

The older human grunted as he gazed at his young brother and the humanoid lion monster.

Ziun wasn't that responsive to the threat. His head was lower so none of them could see his eyes. He stood in front of his friend.

Zanya couldn't see what his young brother was doing but he noticed that he held something in his hand. He tried to see what it was but couldn't. Stella seemed to force herself to look forward, probably seeing what the young boy was holding.

"Did you hear me Ziun!" Death Shido asked once again.

"We are being ignored Sofia," Gallows commented.

"You do not care if I take his life. You prefer your own survival I see. It is what a Omni Lord really is after all," Kogetsu commented.

No answer from the Omni Lord.

"Then so be it!" he aimed at the heart of Tsukikage.

The face of Zanya paled as it turned almost white.

Akatsuki suddenly yelled, "Art of Speedrun!"

Ziun raised his head with a small smirk and quickly charged. The Omni Lord was quick and grabbed the blade before it could reach Tsukikage. He looked in the eyes of the demonic shinobi and grunted, "I do not appreciate that you try to kill my friend demon!"

Kogetsu quickly reached another weapon and aimed at the heart of the Omni Lord but was quickly kicked away and crashed on the wall of the barrier.

Death Shido gazed at the Omni Lord and whispered, "Y- You… Remember everything."

Zanya looked at his young brother and saw him holding a green orb in his hand. He recognised the form and wondered if it was the Omni Lord Emblem they were searched, where did he found it?

"I don't remember anything more than what I know," Ziun replied. He waved his finger while the demon ninja stood up, "However, I remembered where my Omni Lord Emblem was."

"Where was it?" Zanya asked.

The Omni Lord couldn't answer as he began battling against the demon.

Stella replied, "He had it in him all along. He just remembered how to summon it."

For the blue haired boy, that would need explanation later.

Ziun ducked and countered with a kick on the stomach of the human like monster, "Tsukikage, I'll finish this fight!"

Akatsuki raised a card and yelled, "Art Of Body Replacement!"

The kunais sent at the Omni Lord hit a piece of woods while the Omni Lord was behind the monster, "Now the Art Of Speedrun effect ran out," before punching the face of the demon.

Ziun stood in his fighting stance and was ready for anything coming at him. Kogetsu took a few seconds to stand up, a little confused as his legs were lightly shaking.

The demon didn't lose a second and threw more shuriken at his adversary. How his enemy reacted took him off-guard.

The humanoid lion being didn't bother to dodge what was coming at him and crossed his arms over his vitals. The blades of the demon caused a few wounds on the arms but nothing deep as a sip of blood came out. He braced the pain and aimed at the face of the demon once again but it was blocked.

The two entered in a short-range fight where the Omni Lord had no choice but to evade the blade of the katana. He has trouble keeping up with the demon and his offensive was absent in their struggled. He saw the blade coming at him and used his bracelet to block the weapon of his enemy.

Without thinking, Ziun took a deep breath and hit the chest of the demon, palm opened. He sent Kogetsu strait against the wall and smoke burst out of the point of impact.

Akatsuki raised his other spell card and yelled, "Ceremonial, Execution of Divine Punishment!"

Death Shido quickly reacted, "Gedo Shield!"

"Not on my watch!" Zanya quickly used a spellcard, "Ceremony of Exorcism!"

The red shield that appeared broken down by the counter spell.

The divine punishment came and it electrocuted the demon who just had time to stand up. Kogetsu felt on the ground and was down for good.

Death Shido knew it wasn't going to be good for her when she returned back to Yamigedo and Ikazuchi. She took out her spellcard and before she teleported away, Ziun came at her.

"The Omni Lord is coming at us!" Gallows yelled.

"We won't let you get away this time!" Ziun tried to grab her but she ducked and activated her spellcard.

"I have a report to give at Yamigedo," she simply replied before leaving the place as the barrier began to dissipate.

Zanya went towards the demon and sealed it. He gazed at his younger brother and the Omni Lord. He had a lot to ask.

Stella sighed in relief, "I am glad this is over."

The barrier dissipated and the Buddy Police Force immediately came. Commander I was among them and sighed in relief when everyone was alright.

"What happened?" the commander asked.

The five explained what happened in the barrier and showed the demon they sealed. After this, the forces tried to find any trace of the servant of Yamigedo. Meanwhile, the five had one last place to go.

They were on route to the final location and the five were quiet for a while. Tsukikage wound were treated thanks to a spellcard. He still had trouble walking and his body was weak. He was still ready to accompanied them but another fight would be a terrible idea.

"I'm so glad you're okay," Zanya said another time.

His buddy nodded, "Nin," I don't plan on dying.

"Good," Akatsuki sighed, really relief that everything ended well.

His older brother decided to ask, "Since we still have some time to reach the last location, how did you find your Omni Emblem Ziun?"

"Nin," his buddy agreed.

"I don't really understand myself. I just suddenly saw it in your hands and told me to say nothing and not look at you," Stella added.

Ziun cleared his throat, "During the battle, I wondered where my Omni Lord Emblem would be. As Tsukikage sa- wrote on his scroll, Tenbu couldn't just keep it on his hat. We would all notice it. I realised that maybe I had it with me all along," he showed his Omni Lord emblem. He approached his chest and the orb suddenly went in the armor and into his flesh, "It was within me all along. This object can fuse with his Omni Lord. Some memories came when I summon it. An Omni Lord Emblem can only be used by the Omni Lord. So, I took a few spellcards out of the orb and gave them to Akatsuki."

"Anything else you remember?" Stella asked.

"Not that much. Just how to summon and unsummon the Omni Lord Emblem and how it works. Still, something came back," he let out a small victorious smile.

"That's great!" Akatsuki optimistically replied as he hugged his friend.

"And we reach our final stop," Stella concluded.

They looked where they were and it was Aibo Academy. That confused them all.

"I didn't want to think of school during vacation," the youngest boy whined.

"With everything going on, I forgot about my homework," Zanya whispered.

"Did I cause something here?" Ziun asked with some confusion.

"Follow me. I'll show you," the woman took the lead and they followed him.

Zanya held his buddy on his back. Tsukikage was still tired from his battle and wanted to see what was the clue.

The five stopped near the stairs and she pointed as something written then.

"I cannot identify what it said, but there is an image of you here," Stella pointed at the image.

Ziun recognised himself, in a very ugly and disformed way. As if someone who had no artistic talent dig in the stone to mark it.

"What does it say? I don't understand it. What about you Tsukikage?" Zanya asked his buddy.

"N-nin," he showed his scroll, I don't know.

The Omni Lord frowned, "I… I understand what is written," he put his finger on the small messages and said, "Ziun. I, Tenbu, Fifth Omni Lord left this message for you," the group whispered the named of the deceased dragon, wondering when he put that there, "This will help you remember something. Remember when you said, long ago: 'I refuse to choose such a horrible choice Variable Cord. I vote that we sealed Yamigedo away.'"

The monster finished reading it and put his hand on his forehead. He grumbled when he managed to remember when it happened, "I… I remember something," he winced while his friend Akatsuki grabbed his other hand.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm fine Akatsuki. Just… remembering it," the pain calmed down after a few seconds as he stood up.

He took a deep breath as he collected his thought and put them in the chronological order, "It happened when we had to choose the fate for Yamigedo. It was after a great war. Variable Cord said that the Great Fiend was too dangerous to let him life. Tenbu… refused to bring death to the Fiend he raised. Sealing him away was suggested by the Omni Lord of Hero World, as none of them would budge. A vote was made. At that time, there was no Omni Lord for Magic World, dead in that battle. The last voter was me, the one who break the tide on both side," he closed his eyes, "I chose to seal him. I said those words when I made my decision. I remember feeling sickened. It was all… unfair for Yamigedo. He… He didn't do wrong. Variable Cord just talked of the future of ruins made by Yamigedo. A future that turned true… because we decided to seal him," he thought more, "There is little less that I remembered. I know I am the Omni Lord and I have to take responsibility for everything."

The others listened and nodded.

"Do you remember who voted to seal him too?" Stella asked, to nudge the memory of the Omni Lord.

"Tenbu… Miseria and Captain Answer."

The humans were silent at those words. Eventually, Stella yelled, "The hero Captain Answer is a monster!"

There was a lot that would need to be talked about later on.

"Not anymore. He quit being an Omni Lord after this and another one replaced him," the monster said, "And it wasn't one form Hero World. The Omni Lords weren't seemed worthy of a hero by their side. I don't know why, but we broke his belief that we Omni Lords were all good," Ziun turned around and walked away, "I'm feeling tired now," he yawned, "I think we should go and rest. Remembering things is very tiresome," a small forced smile appeared on his face.

Akatsuki hugged him once again as the group returned back home.

Near them, at the top of the stairs, the director of Aibo Academy heard them. He walked away and whispered, "There is evil within the Omni Lords Ziun."

A boy and his buddy sat on top of a tall building, watching the city from above. The boy chuckled while his buddy remained quiet.

"Are you ready buddy?"

The monster metallically head turned toward his buddy and nodded.

"Soon, they will hear of the Darkhero. The one who shall save this town from the demons," he raised his hand, "For this. I will become an Omni Lord… No matter what."

And the boy formed a plan to get an Omni Lord Emblem for it to succeed.

AC: This is the end of this episode.
