Gao was in his room and was packing everything for the return home. Their week was over. He felt much better than before but still missed Tenbu. He knew it would be long before he truly felt better, just like when he lost his older brother. The boy knew it was the same for everyone, especially Drum. He looked at his buddy and saw the dragon sighing a few times as he finished reading another page of the journal and marked it. The human grabbed his luggage and asked, "Ready Drum?"

The red dragon put it in the luggage, thinking of reading more while in the train, "Yes. I got everything," his red hand was lightly shivering as he asked, "You think everyone managed while we were gone."

"Of course. I'm sure everyone will be surprise when we tell them we met Kiri here. I also miss everyone," he thought about his friends, who might be worried for him.

"I mean, about Yamigedo," he clarified.

"Tasuku and Jackknife surely had no trouble with my friends helping them. I'm sure we just have to give Tenbu our final farewell before… we help them stop Yamigedo of his plans once and for all," Gao concluded while his buddy joined him.

Drum chuckled, "You're right."

They went outside of their room and joined the rest of the family at the entrance. Hanako and Halberd were still missing.

Kiri and Joker were waiting for them. The boy was a little sad to see his friend leaving while the ice monster that was his buddy looked a little upset.

Gao and his dragon buddy guessed that they will miss them once again.

"You are almost ready to leave," Kiri said with his lips pointing down, "This time. It's my turn to say good-bye to you two."

Gao grabbed his hands and said, "But it's not the last time. We are friends and we will see each other's again."

That made his friend smile, "Sure."

Joker nodded, "Nothing will be left on ice. Because that weight will be too much on my icy shoulders."

That made the humans chuckled.

"We're here!" Hanako joined them while her partner brought the luggage, even in his SD form.

Suzumi nodded, "Well, this is good-bye. Thank you for being here and for your hospitality. We needed someone to speak with."

"N-no problem," the young blue haired boy gazed at the side.

"We are helping his father around here," the ice monster added.

Gao and Takashi were quiet, knowing full well what truly was going on.

"We will come back again Kiri. I promise you that," Gao said.

"Sure. I'll call you back and-" he played with his fingers, "You sure you're going to be okay against Yamigedo? I mean- You are going to face him once again."

"Yeah," Gao whispered. He thought about everything they found out in the journal, how did that fiend turn out that way? The boy tapped his hands and added, "We will stop him from whatever he planned."

"That also include Ikazuchi," the red dragon looked down, "I won't try to kill him thought. Tenbu would never want me to do that and me too," I won't let myself control by my rage once again. I promised.

"Let's go, before we miss the train," Suzumi said.

"Good-bye Kiri! Bye Joker!" Gao said. His family and the dragons said the same thing to the two.

"Bye everyone!" Kiri said.

"See you soon," Joker whispered quietly, knowing what their next meeting will be.

Then, they were gone, returning home.

Episode 21: Gao's Return

It was only the family in the wagon of the train, leading them to Tokyo.

Drum continued to read the journal. He had found nothing else standing up for now and would warn his buddy if he saw anything. On his side rested the Omni Lord Emblem.

Suzumi smiled, "It is a nice place to rest. Maybe we should return there during winter vacation. We will get a completely different feel during the cold season."

"Joker will surely rejoice of the cold season. A monster of ice like him could only love this time of the year," Halberd commented.

"True," Gao replied, thinking back about Joker's revelation. Even if he will hold his promise, he couldn't help but wonder if it was the best thing to do. He didn't tell his mom, his sister or the dragons about it. His father was also quiet and didn't feel that upset about it.

"Gao?" his mother asked.

"S-sorry. It's just that… I wish we could stay a little longer. Didn't see Kiri for a year," he admitted. His true hid the real reason he was upset.

Suzumi wanted to ask more but her husband nodded negatively.

Drum raised his nose from the journal, Gao? Did something happen? Did your father ask you something? Oh! Yeah. Tenbu funeral must be ready, he sighed sadly when he remembered that.

"Anyway. I should give you back your cellphone Gao. Maybe your friends messaged you while you were gone," his mother gave it back.

He left it under her care, because he wouldn't have been able to let it go on his own. He checked the messages and read them, "Seems like demons attacked a few times but everything turned out okay."

"That's good," Halberd nodded.

"Good guys won't lose to them," Hanako smiled.

The boy frowned and loudly said, "What?!"

Drum dropped the journal and asked, "What is it?"

"Zanya wrote that Jackknife had been kidnapped by an Omni Lord!" the boy replied.

Everyone was quiet at the sudden news. None of them knew what to say or do.

"Drum. Once we are home, we got to see them at the Headquarter. Commander I asked us to come here," Gao said.

"Are you two ready?" Suzumi asked.

"Want us to come with you?" Takashi asked.

The boy gazed at his buddy.

"We can go and learned what happened. I'll be ready once I said my final farewell to grandpa Tenbu," Drum answered, "We cannot just sit by and let Yamigedo on the offensive."

"Like Drum said. I can't stay on the side forever," Gao said as he sent a message to Tasuku. He checked the last one and the boy paled, "Damn… That was really big."

"What is it Gao?" his father asked.

"There's been a gas leak in the park of Tokyo. News says it could be a terrorist attack, but Commander I wrote that a demon sent by Yamigedo caused this," he then gave the little details he obtained.

They knew that Gao won't stay on the side longer than Tenbu's funeral, ready for tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Drum found something strange in the journal. He advanced quickly and went from his current page to the previous one, Tenbu… skipped things. The previous page was about grandpa Tenbu praising Yamigedo for helping the Omni Lords and suddenly jumping to the moment the Great Fiend was sealed on Earth. He checked the small messages left by the deceased dragon.

I had no strength or courage to write what I have done to my son. He helped us many times and then… later on… We sealed you. I'm so sorry Yamigedo. That was the only option, to protect you. I know you will never forgive me. I know what my punishment will be.

Drum sobbed, you felt that bad about it. Grandpa Tenbu. For that long.

"What is it Drum?" Gao asked.

"Look," the young dragon showed the journal while the boy read it out loud.

The rest of the way one was quiet, as those little words showed that he chose to seal his fate so long ago.

Gao and his buddy left the luggage under the care of Halberd and went to the Buddy Police Forces Headquarter. They got time to recover from what they discovered in the journal. They had to go in there. They will say everything they learned from it.

Gao will remain silent about finding Miseria. That would be the most difficult part. His first priority will be to talk with Tasuku. He was certain his friend would be devastated, "Let's go."

Drum looked at his buddy as they went inside, "Gao. I need your help to… say what we found out," he was still a little shocked by what he found in the journal. He knew it was Tenbu's decision but reading it was made that early in the pass was really painful. His biological grandfather wasn't even born that Tenbu decided how he would die.

The boy nodded, pushing his thought aside. The young red dragon needed his help too.

They went inside and climbed in the elevator, going to the floor where Commander I should be with everyone else. When they went outside, Gao saw Tasuku waving at him.

"Welcome back you two," Tasuku said with a smile on his face. It wasn't as forced as Gao expected to be.

"It's good to be back Tasuku," he replied as he grabbed the hand of his friend.

"We meet again Gao. I'm sorry about your loss," a dark dragon by the side of the blue-haired boy nodded at them.

"D-Demios!" the red dragon yelled, surprised.

"Yes. I am Tasuku's buddy for now," Demios replied.

"There is a lot to say but Commander I want to see you first. We will explain everything later. Just know that Demios is helping me saving Jack," the boy said in a few words, "When will you be back?"

"After the funeral for Tenbu. With everything going on, I cannot just stand aside."

"Me too," the dragon added as he raised his hand.

Their friend smiled while the dark dragon crossed his arms, "Don't over do it. None of you are fully matured, just like Tasuku."

"I won't."

"Me too!" the red dragon took it as a challenge.

Demios grinned, "Good."

"Come. We made them wait long enough," Tasuku said as he guided them to Commander I office.

When they entered, Commander I, Stella and Count Dawn were present and gazed at the boy.

"Welcome back Gao, Drum, did you spend a good time at the Board House?" Stella asked.

"Sure," they replied.

They talked a little about what they did while they were away, delaying the important conversations a little out of politeness.

Eventually, Drum was the one who brought up strait to the subject, "You called us here for something? Is it about what happened while we were gone?"

Commander I replied, "Yes. A lot of things went out and we want to update you."

"I'm certain you would ask anyway. A few of us did send you messages," Tasuku admitted, "Myself included."

"There is a lot to know," Demios concluded.

"And we are curious about what you learned in the journal so far Drum," Count Dawn added.

The red dragon nodded.

"This is what happened while you were gone," Tasuku began explaining everything that happened during that week. Commander I, Stella and Count Dawn added their own comments.

The two listened and lightly paled when they learned what happened.

"So, an Omni Lord really did kidnap Jackknife," Gao said. He had some trouble believing it the first time he read it. Why one of them would do that?

"I do not know why he would do it. I don't really know Variable Cord that well but he is young and is often the most radical among us," the Seventh Omni Lord commented as he grabbed his beard.

"And I came here to help Tasuku saving his buddy," the Darkness Dragon said as he crossed his arms, "All for Tasuku."

"I'm grateful you came to help your friend," Gao replied with a smile.

"You are an honorable dragon," Drum said while keeping a dead pan face. He checked on the Omni Lord Emblem he had in his palm; he would ask soon.

They continued resuming what happened and gave more details about the event of yesterday.

"A gas leak like that," Gao whispered, knowing the full detail. Tetsuya. He did notice that people were nervous.

"We already told them that the culprit was arrested and won't cause any trouble, since it was a unique case but the uneasiness won't go away. The monsters are also nervous for the same reason," Commander I grumbled.

"They are all thinking like, 'what if it was deadly?'" Stella concluded that.

The boy would want to talk more about it later with Tasuku.

"Thanks to Demios, the situation was solved," Tasuku said.

The black dragon replied, "It was everyone. I wouldn't enter in there and stay conscious if it wasn't for the Omni Lord Captain Answer," but he did puff his chest with pride.

Drum crossed his arms, "And only a few Omni Lords to find at least," he let out a small smile. He then asked, "Anything else?"

"No."

"Then I'll tell you what I find in the journal. There is a lot of him charming any females in his way," he heard Count Dawn grumbling a 'not surprising' before he continued, "And also a lot about his son, Yamigedo."

That took everyone by surprise, even Count Dawn, "He… He saw the Great Fiend as his own son?" the monster asked in disbelief.

"So that old dragon didn't share that with you," Demios concluded.

"No. He never explained anything about Yamigedo. He never said where he found him. The first time I saw him was in his current form, when Tenbu introduced him. He said he was a survivor of his fallen world and nothing more than that. Yamigedo also didn't add anything," he put his hand on his forehead, "We never questioned them. Damn. Such a big secret he just casually revealed in his journal like that," the vampire monster sighed as the two continued.

"And here. Tenbu skipped this part and went to this: 'I had no strength or courage to write what I have done to my son. He helped us many times and then… later on… We sealed you. I'm so sorry Yamigedo. That was the only option, to protect you. I know you will never forgive me. I know what my punishment will be.' He also didn't court a female for a long time before he brought this up again," The red dragon concluded what he read.

"No wonder he was so protective of him and why he just disappeared like that," Count Dawn commented.

"To seal his own son away like that," Commander I grumbled.

"What did he do then to be sealed anyway?" Stella asked.

The Omni Lord was quiet as he thought back. It was something that long ago and had vague memories of that. He grumbled and eventually answered, "Variable Cord… I think he was the one who told us he did something horrible. I cannot remember what," he shook his head, "No wonder he accepted his fate. Damn… we could have tried something else if we knew that. He strongly refused to execute Yamigedo and was really loud about it, ready for a fight. It make sense now."

Commander I thought about it and his skills as a policeman was up, "We really need to know why he was sealed Count Dawn. Searching for Variable Cord is even more vital than it was," and find the origin of all, he gazed at Tasuku.

Vital, "Thanks for saying that Commander I. We still don't know why he took Jack but with everything about him, I'm getting nervous."

Demios wanted to add his little touch but held back for now. He was new there and speaking out of his suspicion was a bad idea. He had to meet this Omni Lord first before he opened his mouth.

"That's where I've reached. I almost finished the journal and then I'll read the rest of his will," the red dragon thought about something and waited for everyone to finish giving their piece of mind.

Once they were done, Drum said, "Count Dawn," he showed Tenbu's Omni Lord Emblem, "Do you know how I can use the power of the Emblem? I've been trying a few times and it wasn't working."

The Omni Lord thought about it and replied, "You have to prove to be worthy of the Omni Lord Emblem. Since Tenbu gave it to you before his demise, he might have put some specific condition for it to awaken. His will shall reveal all, or he would have done a terrible will," he crossed his arms and said, "You also need to be careful and not show your Emblem around. They are two people after this to become one."

The red dragon frowned as he held it against him.

"Anything else?" Commander I asked. He got no answer, "Than this is over. There is a few more things but once you are ready, we will introduce you to people who will help us against Yamigedo."

Who are they? Gao wondered. It was good news that more people were helping them.

Tasuku smiled and said, "Come Gao. There is much more to catch up together."

"Sure," he nodded, "I'll do the same with Baku and Kuguru after this. They might be a little angry I didn't see them first," the boy nervously big his lips as they went outside, leaving the three adults in their own mind.

The two boys and their dragon buddies walked together in the corridors of the headquarter.

"So, what happened?" the red dragon asked.

"I just said that Variable Cord brought Jack with him but I don't know where," Tasuku admitted.

"I am seriously beginning to suspect that it is not in Star Dragon World," Demios grumbled.

The blue-haired boy couldn't disagree. Star Dragon World wouldn't leave him in the dark like that. He elaborated, "We were investigating a Buddyfight Club where illegal fights were going on. I received a letter than an Omni Lord was taken hostage. I went with Jack and I met Rouga and his buddy."

"What were they doing here?" Drum suspiciously asked.

"They were helping the police with the investigation. They wouldn't notice him watching what was going on inside. I think he wanted to make up for his old decisions, just like I did… And Kyoya," he gazed at the dark dragon.

"And me."

"We had to fight a dragon. We only knew later on that it was Variable Cord himself. All we knew was that he was the one who created the buddyfight club. Then, he took Jack," the boy felt a little weak. He didn't want to show it or complain much. Gao and Drum had worse and he felt selfish to worry them about his own situation.

"Are you okay Tasuku?" Gao worryingly asked.

"Yeah. Better than you," he added a little more thing about the kidnapping.

"I can't believe an Omni Lord would do such a thing," Drum grumbled as he crossed his arms.

"He has something driving him. Everyone has a reason, good or bad," Demios also implied Yamigedo and Ikazuchi.

Eventually, their conversation went elsewhere.

"Still, I am wondering what pushed Yamigedo to turn on the Omni Lords," Tasuku thought about what his friends told him.

"Sounds like the Omni Lords aren't that virtuous," the dragon from Darkness Dragon World commented.

Drum let out a dead gaze at the other dragon, "What were you saying?"

The leader of the Purgatory Knight adjusted his wording, "I wasn't talking about Tenbu. I meant about Variable Cord and maybe a few others. We know nothing of what went behind the scene. Behind Tenbu. Some wanted Yamigedo dead, some wanted him sealed and we have Tenbu who had no choice but to pick seal. The Omni Lord of Hero World leaving them. That's putting them into questions," he concluded.

The dragon brought many good points and none could counter his arguments right now.

"Still! Tenbu isn't a bad dragon! Everything he did… His journal is surely real and honest. He wouldn't lose time to write about the many females he hit on!" the red dragon defensively said.

Demios raised his hand, "I believe Tenbu was one who can be trusted. Others…" he let that lingered.

"Are you certain about it?" Tasuku asked.

"I am a Purgatory Knight. We have to keep order in Darkness Dragon World and you have to be talented in seeing anything lurking around. Many dragons of my world could plan tricky things that we have to discover. Seeing what anyone is hiding. Getting quickly suspicious or any odd things. That's my job and I will use this talent to help us," he huffed.

That reassured the others.

"We will be counting on you," Gao said with a smile.

That felt good for the older dragon.

Tasuku had a thought of someone and said, "And Takihara is still searching for Yamigedo's hideout."

"Oh yeah! I didn't see him here. Do you know how he's doing?" Gao curiously asked.

His friend smiled, "He sent me a message yesterday but I only read it this morning. He said we did a good job yesterday and that everything was alright with him. I'm glad he's not in trouble."

The Sun Fighter nodded, "Me too."

"As long as he's not reckless, everything will be fine," the darkness dragon commented.

"He's not!" the two humans replied.

"I'll trust your words then."

"With everything going on, the sooner we find him the better," Drum said as he gazed at the Omni Lord Emblem, but will I be ready? He then hid the Emblem in his armor. It was better that it remained that way until the two criminals were arrested.

"There is someone we should meet too," Tasuku thought back at someone else who appeared when Yamigedo manifested.

"Who?"

"The Demon Hunter who came when Tasuku and Terumi were in trouble," the blue-haired boy answered, "He is someone we still don't know his true intention. He might had been around when the gas leak occurred and we didn't spot him."

"We cannot let anything on the side. Anything else you can think about?" Demios asked. He wasn't there from the start.

"I got nothing else," Gao replied, "Anyway. I really need to see Baku and Kuguru. They won't happy I went to see all of you first," the boy nervously chuckled.

"I'm certain they won't be," his friend replied.

"And Axia will surely be there," Drum grumbled depressed.

Demios wondered why the dragon was suddenly depressed.

"Ambush hug!" a flash of blue said when it tackled Drum.

The gray dragon got his answer when the blue dragon began cuddling the red dragon.

"Drumkin! It's been so long!" Axia said as he rubbed his cheek on the other dragon's cheek.

Demios cheeks inflated as he held back his amusement when he heard the nickname.

"Axia! L-let's go!"

"You dropped your guard Drum," Ironchain commented as he chuckled.

The Darkness Dragon looked at the side before the red dragon noticed he was about to burst into laughter.

Baku and Kuguru were lightly chuckling at the expanse of the red dragon as they both grabbed Gao's hand.

"Welcome back!" Baku said.

"I'm glad to see you are feeling better," Kuguru added.

The boy nodded with a smile, "We will still give Tenbu our final farewell soon. Then we will return to the Buddy Police Forces. I cannot just do nothing after what Yamigedo did."

Drum managed to escape the other dragon and began to run away, chassed by Axia.

Baku sighed as he adjusted his bandana, "Yeah. I was there when the gas appeared. It was really intense to see everything. Axia and I are working for something, just in case this situation happens again. He asked Magic World to help with it and Hero Worlds, since they already have something."

"Got ya Drumkin!" Axia hugged the poor red dragon once again, "Yup. Ain't easy asking help from another world but it's worth it. However, I think this kind of situation will happen more that just this time," he yelped when Drum escaped his arms again. He gave up chasing him and let out a kind smile, "And I'm happy you are all better Drumkin. You were so sad last time you didn't do anything against my hugs," his lips went down, "I was really worried for you buddy."

The XIV scratched the back of his head and sighed, "Yeah. Sorry about that. I am feeling better now."

"I can see that."

The two dragons chuckled together.

The third dragon was a little confused now, are they friends? Because what this Axia was doing was… I just don't get their world, "You are right Axia. Anything else you think could happen and we aren't ready about?"

The humans gazed at the gray dragon.

"Nope. We have been thinking but nothing comes to mind right now. Sorry," Axia apologised.

"That's good."

The subject came to an end and the four humans began talking together. They were all asking what they did while they were separated. Gao brought up most of what he could.

"And Kiri was there with Joker!" Gao said. He saw they were surprised and continued to talk about his week off.

"And you got two earthquakes," Tasuku whispered.

"We slept on the second one," Drum lightly blushed as he scratched his neck and nervously giggled.

"That's strange. We felt nothing here," The blue-haired boy commented as he thought back. He crossed his arms and thought a little more.

"Kiri said he got those once per week. Maybe it's just located there," Gao concluded.

Tasuku didn't know how it worked and went with it.

The dragons made no comments. Drum trusted his buddy while Demios didn't know how earthquake worked on Earth.

Baku and Kururu weren't that knowledgeable either.

The girl said, "I'm glad our friend is doing okay there. I'm sure he is staying out of trouble."

The boy with the bandana nodded, "I'm also happy he helped you. You surely feel much better," he crossed his arms and sighed, "I wish we can just stop Yamigedo very soon."

"Yeah," the humans agreed.

Ironchain and Catsith remained on the side and thought about it. The blue dragon snapped his fingers and said, "As if we might lose against him. We stopped Azi Dahaka plan before and we can surely stand in the way of the Great Fiend together!"

"Yeah. With my help we can do it," the cat monster added.

"Yeah," the other buddy of the girl puffed.

And the two went into a pointless argument.

The others sighed and let out a small smile. Kuguru chuckled after a while, "Of course we can together," and separated the two monsters, "Yamigedo isn't immortal. He has to face justice for what he has done."

"All we need to focus for now is to find the Omni Lords and let Takihara find where Yamigedo is hiding," Tasuku concluded. His buddy nodded.

Axia interjected, "Okay everyone. Enough of coming back to Yamigedo! Gao and Drumin are just back you know!"

"Sorry," they said at their friend.

The blue dragon was satisfied and asked, "Did you think of me Drumkin?"

"A little. I just tried to enjoy the time there and get better," the red dragon answered.

The dragon from Magic World nodded satisfied and went to his buddy.

The group continued talking together for a while as they caught up with everything they missed, while avoiding talking about Yamigedo and his possible plan.

Once the day was over, Gao and his buddy returned home.

Gao and Drum rested on the bed, none of the felt asleep yet. They gazed at the window and saw the clear sky with the stars shining. The armor of the dragon was put on the ground, reflecting the stars and the crescent moon.

"Gao. You think we can see my world from here?" the dragon wondered.

"No really. We can barely the stars in town," the boy admitted.

He got a satisfied huff from the red dragon who scratched his belly, "You think grandpa Tenbu and your brother are watching over us, somewhere among those stars?"

"Maybe," the boy answered unsure. He wondered something and asked, "You think they are watching us Drum?"

"Yeah. They are surely worried about us. Mostly you. Your mom had to make you do all your homework of summer vacation," he chuckled, "Dad told me that all who passed away shined with the stars. He always gazed at the sky during those nights… maybe searching for mom's light."

"Thanks for reminding me that," he grumbled. He let out a small smile, "I'm sure they are among the stars."

"Good night Gao."

"Night Drum."

And they slowly began to fall asleep.

Outside of their window, on the roof of the house next door, seven dragons observed the duo currently sleeping.

"This is the successor to Tenbu?" one of the grunted in disbelief.

"He is," one joyfully laughed at his reply and slapped at the grumpy one, sending that dragon off the roof and crashing on the ground.

"Even so, he will have many things to prove if he wants to command us," one said.

"Someone like him?" another one grunted as he put his green scarf on his face, "A dragon like him is a farce that Tenbu entertained himself for too long. He thinks a youngling like him could inherit such duty."

The happy one slapped his back and sent that dragon on the back of his first victim.

"My spine!"

The happy dragon laughed and said, "You're just jealous because he is already taller than you."

"No!"

"Calm down everyone. You know what Tenbu wants us to do," the female dragon warned the others.

"Yeah," the two pouted while the happy dragon nosed the female dragon.

"Soon, Drum will prove himself to us. That is what Tenbu asked. Yamigedo will eventually summon them."

Some of them were worried and others angry.

"Buzzsaw," the female dragon whispered.

After this, the group dispersed and mentally prepared themselves for their upcoming moment.

Yamigedo had his orange eyes wide open as he gazed at the sky with Ikazuchi on his shoulder. He held in his hand the next demon they would send out.

"Do you think they will succeed this time?" Ikazuchi asked with some uncertainty. They didn't get any other Omni Lords unless they did it themselves.

"Asmodai isn't at his full power, as long as I have a part of him in me. Tenbu's power will soon be completely absorbed. We just have to bid our time," his orange eyes gazed at the boy, "They are outnumbered, so I am not upset at our defeat. I am planning something bigger after this little test. To see how quickly they Omni Lords will come this time," he chuckled.

"Good," the boy said as he took out his spellcards and checked at them. He was planning to return to the frontline soon.

"Are you feeling better?" the Great Fiend asked with concern the young human.

"Yes. I can't just do nothing. I'm sure they will counterattack soon," the boy grumbled.

"Of course, they wouldn't stand aside and do nothing," he frowned at one thought.

"What is it?"

"Something that was hunting my mind for a while. We killed Tenbu but I never remember seeing the Omni Lord Emblem. The object that they used to cast spells even outside of the worlds or on this one," he crossed his arms and grumbled, "I suspect another dragon might has it right now."

"This is bad. They could already replace the Omni Lord," Ikazuchi said as his face paled.

The Great Fiend laughed, "I am not worried for that. A last-minute replacement has no chance against us. I will just devour him and get his power, if the Omni Lords are foolish and desperate enough. No reason to be scared for me my friend. They have no chances."

That reassured the boy as he finished checking everything. He wouldn't drop his guard that easily next time, "I'll keep practicing tomorrow. I cannot let any of the humans get the better of me again."

His gigantic friend nodded as they returned inside. He gazed at the demon he summoned. This time, it was a demon that will hurt them bad, preparing for the next attack he had in mind, only a few days and we will strike brutally. That will break them down.

AC: This is the end of this episode. A little shorter but I put what I needed.

Notice: I will not put the funeral scene because I know very little about a Japanese funeral and I cannot reproduce it in the writing. The story will continue after. Sorry for those expecting it. If I could, this episode would have been longer.

Next Episode: A Brutal Dragon Fight.
