A monster from Katana World was preparing to leave his home for a day. He was a nanomachine ninja and he was pissed off. He had waited to receive a few letters from his brother for a long time. He got nothing. He made his big brother promise to send him at least one letter per week, base on Earth time. He didn't mind if his big brother forgot at least once. His big brother could be busy and it went out of his mind once. However, after a few consecutive weeks, the nanomachine monster cumulate frustrations that turned into anger.

"Did you forget about me? Your own little brother?" he grumbled.

The monster was already imagining how he would make his brother regret breaking his promise. He wondered if he should use his weapons for that. He quickly gave up that idea. It was his big brother. He would still bring them.

"You shouldn't be that pissed off against Tsukikage," a monster said, marching on the ceiling of the monster's chamber, "Making a decision based on your anger isn't a wise one Byakuya."

"Father. I think I've been patient enough to be pissed off against my stupid big brother."

"You know he can be distracted when something important happens. Remember last year when he had to deal with Azi Dahaka."

"He did tell us about this! This time, nothing," Byakuya pouted as he faced his father.

His father sighed and pat the head of his son, "Stay out of trouble."

"It's my stupid brother who's in trouble. But don't worry. I will not get in trouble. I will just give him a piece of my mind and teach him a lesson," he walked out of his chamber.

The father chuckled and raised his shoulders, "Well… Tsukikage is ready for the biggest mouthful moment of his life. Good luck surviving that," he went out of his chamber to meditate, "But there is big trouble if he hasn't sent anything."

Episode 29: You Should Have Mailed Your Brother Tsukikage

Tsukukage stood on the roof of the house in his SD form and was slowly taking off his bandages. Akatuski and Ziun were watching him taking them off. The Omni Lord still needed bandages as his wounds still needed time to heal.

Once the nanomachine was done, he showed his body without any marks of his previous battle. He proudly raised his chest and declared, "Nin!" It was mostly to reassure Akatsuki.

"You're all better!" The boy joyfully acclaimed as he hugged the monster.

Tsukikage hugged the young brother of his buddy.

Ziun nodded, "That is good news," he didn't need to bring up that it wasn't over yet.

Zanya went to the roof and said, "It is, but this isn't something to show off," he frowned, but he sounded relief and a little playful. It was just so that his younger brother remained in a good mood. With everything going on, he was worried sick for his younger brother.

"And do not worry for me Akatsuki. I am almost healed up," the Omni Lord let out a small smile.

Tsukikage heard a suspicious sound and drew a kunai. He showed a scroll with his other hand, Careful. I heard something suspicious.

Zanya turned his deck case into a katana and drew a card, "Who's there?"

"Looks like I wasn't quiet enough. Never mind. It wasn't my intention to sneak here."

The Nano machine heard the voice and dropped his scroll. He realised who it was as he put his kunai back in his clothes.

His buddy noticed it and turned his weapon back into a deck case.

A monster jumped on the roof in his real form, looking at the black ninja a little angry.

The new monster looked very similar to Tsukikage. The main difference was that he wore greyish-white armor and clothes under it, lightning silver bolts on his head armor and a purple cloak.

W-What are you doing here? Tsukikage asked on his scroll.

The three looked at the scroll.

"You know him?" Akatsuki asked.

Zanya wondered who the monster was, but the striking resemblance was obvious. It might be very telling of his identity.

"Tsukikage," he approached the other nanomachine ninja who took his real form, "You jerk!" he slapped the top of the head of the black ninja. He continued as he ranted, "You just have to broke your promise like that! You told me you would send me letter at least once per week to tell me how you are doing! You've been silence for two months!"

Tsukikage showed his scroll, while giving a begging gaze to the other to remain still, I'm sorry! I forgot about it with every-

He was hit a little harder, "Being sorry isn't enough! You promised!" he then gave a mouthful to the black ninja. He yelled and told him why he shouldn't break his promise and what it meant for his family and the nanomachine ninjas of Katana World.

That kept on for a minute. Zanya had enough of watching his buddy getting hit like that, "Enough! I don't know who you are, but you have no reason to attack my buddy!"

"Leave Tsukikage alone you jerk!"

Ziun was ready to fight as his muscles tense under his fur.

"Leave him alone you meany!" Akatsuki yelled.

The white ninja monster gazed at them as he stopped. He asked the other one, "Who are they?"

My buddy, his brother and Ziun.

"He's our big brother!" Akatsuki yelled.

The white ninja seemed like he was on fire as he grabbed the black ninja by the forehead, "I see. TSUKIKAGE! YOU JUST REPLACE ME LIKE THAT!"

He then grabbed his brother, jumped from the roof and suplex the black nanomachine ninja.

At the moment of the impact, Tsukikage screamed in agony, "NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!"

After more two minutes of rant, the white monster seemed finally appeased as the others climbed down the roof and went in the backyard.

Zanya had his katana out and ready to fight, "I don't care who you are, but I'll arrest you!"

Tsukikage, with a large bump on his head waved his arms and shook his head negatively. He gazed at the other one.

Now appeased, maybe temporarily, the white nanomachine ninja nervously said, "My! I haven't present myself to you! I am Nanomachine Ninja, Byakuya. I am the young brother of Tsukikage. The JERK who probably didn't say anything about me!"

The black ninja in question gazed down as he played with his fingers. He tried to write something on his scroll, but couldn't express anything while facing his younger brother verbal frustration. The other reason was that he knew he deserved it. He was the one who forgot to sent letters to his younger brother. That was his punishment.

"You are Tsukikage's little brother?" Akatsuki asked.

"Yes. You would have known if HE said it," he grunted.

"I am sorry!" Tsukikage yelled.

Byakuya stopped talking for a few seconds. He crossed his arms and turned around, "Good. Because you have to be," he turned into his SD form, looking the same as Tsukikage, but only with the clothes and armor he was wearing of different color, "I forgive you big bro."

Honestly. There is a lot going on here and I cannot explain to anyone outside of the Buddy Police Force, he put this message in hope that his brother would understand. That was if he knew the system.

"Fine. I won't ask about it," the eyes of the monster shined for a second. His big brother didn't like that at all, "I will find out about it another one big brother," he proudly stood up and raised his chest, "The only way will be to take your place."

"NIN?" that was worse than what he expected.

"And for that, we will have a competition to see who's the best Nanomachine ninja! I've been training since you've came to Earth non-stop."

As Byakuya described in a lot of detail what was his training, the other three wondered what was going on and what should they do about it.

"Big bro. Should we do something about it?" Akatsuki asked as the trio saw what was happening.

Zanya wondered if it was for the best. It was a sibling problem and messing with it might be a terrible idea.

The Omni Lord replied, "We should let this settle on their own. You are not their parents and… even younger than them."

"Fine."

Can I get some support at least? He begged in his scroll.

"You can beat him in whatever challenge you get," Akatsuki encouraged him.

"As if you are going to let him defeat you," Zanya replied with a smile as he adjusted his glasses.

Emotional support only! "Nin," he sighed before facing his brother. He gave a short nod. He faced his brother and asked, with his scroll, What is your challenge?

"Don't fight. Tsukikage just came out of the hospital!" Akatsuki was almost begging. He was about to cry as he remembered what happened to the monster.

Byakuya took it the wrong way, "And you almost died? You didn't send us letters when you get hurt like that!" And they lost time for another mouthful punishment. That one was well deserved as the black ninja was bowing to his brother rand apologised multiple times.

Zanya sighed as he asked, "What are the challenges?"

"If I want to take his place, I have to prove to you that I am better than Tsukikage in any ninja skills. I'm sure he showed you many of his tricks, but I have to know which one he revealed," the white ninja replied.

Tsukikage answered what he showed on his scroll, the exception was one that he accidentally revealed, I can also change the color of my clothes- Dammit! he grunted when he realised what he just said.

"You can change the color of your clothes? Can you turn it blue?" Akatsuki asked with a small excitement.

"You didn't tell us that! Just like you could turn into smaller version of yourself thanks to your nanomachine body," Zanya grunted. He crossed his arms and demanded, "What else are you hiding?"

"Don't mind it Zanya. This is the teaching of our father. We have to hid everything we learn from him when we go to other worlds. It's better to protect ourselves and those we care. He hides it because he cares for you," Byakuya answered with a small smile, showed by his eyes as he wore a mask.

Sorry Zanya. It's the true.

"Changing the color of our clothes is to fit with the world. We are ninjas and we have to turn invisible for the eyes of the world. That's the best way to do it," the white ninja replied.

"Are those your real color?"

"Yes. It's using a lot of energy to keep one color you know," the talkative nanomachine replied. He frowned and pointed his finger at his brother, "Now. The time has come for our duel!"

"Nin."

"Big bro?" Akatsuki nervously said, gazing at his big brother.

"It won't be a problem," he replied.

Ziun crossed his arms and hoped it wouldn't be.

"The first competition will be about how can reach it's smallest size when we use our nanomachine skills. It is one you are aware off," Byakuya smirked at his older brother.

Tsukikage nervously frowned as he saw that confident smirk. Last time, he was the one who had the advantage, but now, he wasn't sure. His young brother practiced and mastered the technique for a longer time.

"Cool!" Akatsuki eyes shined, "Show us what you can do!"

"The question is, can you see what we can do?" the white ninja chuckled.

The two ninjas gazed at each other's as they left the others gazing at them with some confusion. They wondered what he meant by if they could see them.

Zanya. I have a bad feeling about this competition. I hope you know why it won't be a problem. Trusting your buddy without doubt might not be enough you know, Ziun thought. Still, he wouldn't underestimate the human. The boy was really close to his buddy and wouldn't accept a change like that, what's in your mind?

"Let's go big brother!" the white nanomachine being said.

The two monsters from Katana World raised their fingers and made a few signs with them. There was suddenly a lot of smoke and the two were gone.

"W-where are they?" Zanya asked.

"Don't move!" Ziun took out his Omni Lord Emblem, trusting his instinct to find them, "They split their body into the smallest size they could make. That means that there is many of them right now."

"So… Like real nanomachines now?"

"Depends on their ability."

"Do you remember something Ziun?" the younger human sibling asked.

"No. I just know that I can see them with the Omni Lord Emblem," he shook his head, "No. I remember something and it's about what I can do with it. Because I am the Omni Lord of Katana World."

"You remember something!" Akatsuki said.

"Stay put. You will hug me later," he smiled at the boy as he used his emblem. He searched around and find where Tsukikage and Byakuya were. He gasped when he saw how small they were, "Tsukikage is really small, barely noticeable by the naked eyes. However, Byakuya is much smaller. Small like those things you need in those sciency thing. Micro-microscope," he could see the black ninja depressed at his defeat, while his younger brother celebrated his victory.

After another minute, they both returned to their side, "And I won this round!"

"Nin," he sighed.

"Don't worry Tsukikage! It's only the first challenge," Akatsuki encourage his friend.

"You got better big brother," the monster commented while raising his chest in pride for his victory.

Father trained you very well those last two years. I haven't lost yet. How many left?

"I have three more challenges yet big brother," he gazed at the young humans and then back at his big brother. He chuckled and added, "And since I'm feeling confident. You just need to beat me in one challenge big bro. Just one and you defeat me."

"He's-" Akatsuki said nothing, but wondered who the white ninja was reckless.

"What's the next challenge?" Zanya asked.

"Which of us is the best to camouflage ourselves around here. We will just use our ability to change the colors of our clothes to be invisible and then move around while adapting ourselves to remain invisible," Byakuya explained.

"Cool," Akatsuki eyes shined once again.

He's going to want to be a ninja even more now, "You cannot do all of those tricks Akatsuki."

"I know, but it's cool to see it," the young brother replied.

Zanya sighed and let out a small smile. He wasn't worry for the result of the competition.

Ziun on the other hand was uncertain of what would happen. Just with the first round, he could tell that the new comer was a better ninja than Tsukikage.

Byakuya said, "I'll begin!" he jumped in front of the group and waved his hands, "Keep an eye on me because I'm out now," his armor and clothes changed color and eventually, the monster was gone.

The humans were amazed by that ability. They searched around for the location of the ninja monster.

"Now. I'm going to move. Try to spot me," the white ninja said.

The group gazed where he was gone. They couldn't see a difference when the monster was moving.

Ziun used his Omni Lord Emblem once again to see what was going on.

Meanwhile, Tsukikage could see the very slight and almost unnoticeable change in the air as his younger brother moved. He could see something just waving as they were light difference in size of any object. Something that only a trained eye could do, you are impressive little bro. I could barely see you. Father trained you very well, he was proud of his little brother, but he couldn't lose the competition. He had to protect his buddies and other members of his family, Sorry, he thought. It was his fault everything happened.

He suddenly gasped when Byakuya accelerated. The white wasn't walking anymore. He ran. His young brother was dashing and the others didn't notice it. They usually had to move slowly to avoid detection. It was harder to change color on the go when everything surrounding the ninja changed that quickly. It wasn't bothering the white shinobi at all.

The black ninja was well aware that this trick would be difficult to use.

The white ninja reappeared and bowed, "And this is my power as a Nanomachine Ninja! Took all this time to perfect it," he sat on the ground and sighed, "But it's very tiresome. Show me what you can do big brother."

"Go for it Tsukikage! You can beat him!" Akatsuki encouraged his friend.

Ziun was a little nervous. He was able to see everything the other one did while invisible thanks to his emblem. He didn't just run; he did flips and many other moved. Compared to the black shinobi, he saw all what the monster did. Not just where he was. He wanted to warn the buddy of Zanya.

Tsukikage nodded and he took the place of his brother when he started. He clapped his hands together as he focused. He closed his eyes and focused. He had to do his very best. His body took the color of his surrounding and turned invisible.

"Cool!" the young boy said.

Zanya wasn't nervous at all. He had his arms crossed and waited to see what his buddy could do. He didn't mind not being aware of it. He trusted him, you were raised like that and… it's fun to discover some of your tricks.

The black ninja began to walk, making sure that his camouflage remained consistent with his surrounding. It took a lot of focus to do everything while knowing where he was going. Still, he was mentally trained for that, even if he rather no put himself in those kinds of situations. He accelerated his pace, never breaking his focus. He could still keep it up and began to run.

The moment the black ninja began to run, the two humans noticed that sometimes, the monster was standing up. It was also a little creepy when they saw the branches of the tree suddenly stretching out of nowhere.

Akatsuki realised that his friend lost the round.

Byakuya lightly frowned as he noticed that. He gazed at the two human siblings and noticed the younger one getting worried and maybe a little depressed. He turned his gaze back to his big brother who turned himself visible.

You won this round little brother.

"Tsukikage! You still can beat him!" the younger human sibling yelled.

Got to change the challenges, Byakuya thought. He rolled his fingers together as he searched for another challenge. He wanted to try something different, "Let's have a duel with wooden weapons! I will show you how I improved in my fighting capacities!"

"No!" Akatsuki replied. He crossed his arms, "Tsukikage already has been hurt and I don't want him to be hurt again!"

The white ninja nervously chuckled at that reply. He wasn't expecting that, "It's made of wood. It will only be one hit. That is enough for us Shinobi."

The young human wasn't going to change his mind on the matter.

"Nin," Sorry. Akatsuki has been really worried for me when I was wounded by a bad monster. I rather not.

The nanomachine monster sighed in defeat and searched for something else, "A challenge of speed then. Let's see who's the quickest of us all in a race," he pointed his finger at his big brother.

Accepted.

The group was now at the school of Aiba Academy. The boys crossed their arms as they wondered why they were there.

Zanya gazed at his buddy who suggested to come at the school for the challenge, "Why here? Vacations is almost over and you want your race to be here."

"N-nin," this place is big enough for our race and we won't bother anyone. I just don't know where else.

"The race will be simple. We will start at the starting line of this… racetrack?" He got a positive nod, "We will run on it and made three turns. The first one who did the three turns has won. Of course, it will be harder and longer in our SD form. This track is short."

"We aren't very tall beings," Zanya frowned.

"I'll get bigger! You'll see," Akatsuki said.

Ziun sighed and sat on a bench, "Don't destroy anything."

"I don't see how we can destroy anything in a race. There is no trick. It's simply about speed. A ninja must be quick and act quickly in any situations. Talking quickly is also an important tool," Byakuya chuckled as he turned in his SD form.

Tsukikage did the same.

Zanya decided that it was best to end this race and go away from the academy. He was glad him and his younger brother already finished their homework. That was something behind them and had nothing to worry about.

The two monsters walked towards the starting line and stopped.

How much distance per lap for this race to be fair? Tsukikage asked as he pointed that the track was shorter for the one running at the corner left.

"Right," Ziun agreed as he crossed his arms.

"Plan B! We race by running around the school in our real form. It's much bigger than this racetrack. One lap. Nothing dirty. No ninja trick to slow each other's down! It's all about speed," the white ninja suggested.

The group agreed that it will be better. However, they couldn't follow up the race.

Ziun stood up, "I'll be the one watching them. I can surely follow their speed."

The two monsters were ready for the race, while the amnesiac Omni Lord was behind them.

Akatsuki stood in front of them and raised his arms, "Ready! Go!"

The three monsters ran extremely fast and it wasn't long before they turned the corner. The two humans could only watch that impressed.

"Ziun is lagging behind a little," Zanya commented.

"My friend isn't a specially trained ninja. He's an Omni Lord," Akatsuki replied.

"You think you can run at their sonic speed if you keep your ninja training?" his big brother asked as he adjusted his glasses.

"N-no! I'll just be really cool!" the young boy replied. He crossed his arms and pouted. He looked at his older sibling and asked, "You think Tsukikage is going to win? Because if he loses…"

"There is nothing to worry about. I already know the outcome," Zanya reassured his young brother.

Akatsuki nodded and hoped for the best. He wanted Tsukikage to win the race.

Soon, the two ninjas appeared from the other corner of the academy and ran side by side. Neither of them showed any signs of weakness while Ziun was behind, panting with exhaustion.

The Omni Lord seemed to overestimate his running capacity as it felt like his tongue would slide on the ground.

The white ninja gazed at the black one and frowned. The two weren't showing any difference and when they reached the finish line, it would be impossible to know who won the race. Byakuya didn't let out and used his remaining strength to accelerated. He took the lead at the last second as they passed in front of the boys, claiming victory over his sibling.

Akatsuki face was one of defeatism as the black shinobi lost the race.

The moment the race was over, the lion-like monster was on the ground and panted, "Why is this school so big. Oh my… I think I left my lungs behind. Maybe I'll die," he explained as he whined quietly.

The two humans lightly chuckled at that claim, but the young boy couldn't put aside that his friend lost another match once again.

Byakuya let out a small smile and declared, "Another victory for me big brother! That means that only one round and I win," he raised his fist in the air dramatically and asked, "Tsukikage. I let you pick the last challenge!" he pointed his finger at his brother, "I have picked three already and it isn't fair with you. I beat you three times and I'll give you a chance to turn things around. However, I won't show any weakness in any of the challenge you will send me. Make your choice."

The black ninja thought about it. He gazed at his buddy and the young boy. They were a family and he couldn't afford to lose one last time against his younger brother. He had to pick something he knew he had an unfair advantage. He had to play a little dirty, but that was the way of the shinobi. When it came to defeat an enemy or evil, never fight fair. Victory was more important than honor. That was a big contrast with the samurais of Katana World. He showed his scroll, we will write the Nanomachine Ninja Mantra on a scroll. The first one who perfectly finished it won.

The white shinobi nodded as a small smile was on his face, "Good pick. Let's do-"

"At home," Zanya ordered.

"Once we are there," he concluded.

Akatsuki helped Ziun to stand up, after the monster turned back into his SD form. He was still exhausted from running so quickly for so long.

"Damn it hurt," the monster complained as Tsukikage came to help him walk.

Once they were back, Ziun was resting on the floor as the two other monsters, also back in their SD form, prepared a small table with their long scroll out. They were ready to write their mantra on it.

"Beat him Tsukikage!" Akatsuki yelled with a hint of desperation. It was the last chance for the black shinobi to win or he would be replaced by Byakuya.

The two gazed at each other's. The siblings were ready to claim victory above the other. The monsters turned their attention to Zanya.

The boy asked, "What?"

Aren't you giving us the signal? Akatsuki did and it's your turn now.

"Why should I do that?" his buddy replied.

"It is only fair that you do the same as your little brother," the white ninja put a little emphasis on little.

"I will be bigger than my big brother one day," he replied while crossing his arms.

"Maybe Ziun-" the monster was still recovering from the race. Zanya sighed, "Fine. I'll do it. Are you ready?"

"Yes!"

"Nin!"

"Set. Go!"

The two grabbed their paint brush and began writing on the scroll. As they wrote it, the two humans saw that their mantra seemed like it was written in Kanji, but they couldn't understand what was written on it. The monster of their world just wrote in a similar way, but the meaning and the form of the kanji-like writing was unknown from their world.

The two monsters began to nervously sweat as words continued to be put on the scroll. The movement of their hands were quick and felt epic in some strange way.

"This mantra is really long," Zanya commented as the scroll seemed to go on forever.

"I thought mantra were short," Akatsuki commented.

After two more minutes, the two monsters grew exhausted from writing their mantra as quickly as possible. They felt cramps in their hands and wondered if their fingers would fall off. The pain was slowly increasing in their hands as their muscles tensed. The monsters wondered how that was so intense when it was only writing their very long and multi layered mantra.

"Why has our ancestors created such a big and long mantra? This is killing my hands! My hands are killing me!"

"NIN!" the black ninja screamed in agreement.

The three others gazed at the monsters, "The is way more epic than it should have been."

"I won't give up that easily big brother!" the white shinobi said.

"Nin!"

The two ninjas continued their mantra. Their scrolls were three meters long and they continued their mantra. Their paint brush had to be replaced with another one and they continued. They panted with exhaustion and continued.

The sibling monsters panted as they both yelled, "This is the end!"

They finished their mantra and the first one who put the brush in the ink bottle was Byakuya. He barely just won the writing of the mantra. The two monsters panted as they finished everything and rested on the ground.

"I… won," the white shinobi said. Zanya and Ziun heard the tone of the voice and knew there was something going on with him.

Worse challenge ever, Tsukikage commented.

"No!" Akatsuki began to cry as the black shinobi lost. The young boy hugged the silent monster, "I don't want you to leave us Tsukikage."

"Nin," he also cried, I'm so sorry!

"That means that I have to take your place," Byakuya said.

Zanya crossed his arms, "What makes you think you can take his place?"

Because he beat me fair and square.

"There is one thing you forgot Byakuya," the older human said as he raised his finger. He asked, "When did I agree that you can take Tsukikage place? I never agreed to this duel. I never agreed to those conditions. Tsukikage is my buddy and this isn't a decision he can take alone."

There was a moment of silence as the information went into their brain. It was true that Zanya and Tsukikage were buddies and that something like that might had to be agreed by both involved. The boy wouldn't accept something like that.

"That's right!" Akatsuki clinger to that hope.

The white shinobi was taken aback by the reply. He thought back and it was true he never asked anything to the human. He then sighed and joyfully said, "Glad I forgot that."

"Nin?" What do you mean? The black shinobi asked while the young boy hugged him with relief and joy.

His buddy smirked, "I did notice you were giving my buddy many chances to win. It felt like you were trying to lose this time."

"I just made sure that my big brother has a chance. I wouldn't back down or let him win cheaply," he chuckled.

Why?

"Because I can see that everyone cares for you. I mean, you are their family too. They will be sad if I just replace you out of the blue like that. Just look at the little human Akatsuki. He was already crying when he thought you'll leave. I'm not a jerk," he sighed, "When I challenged you, it was to make you regret not sending us any letters. You were silence for so long. I was wondering if you were in big trouble! I was so worried for you it makes me angry!"

I'm sorry if I didn't tell you anything. There is so much going on right now, he bowed to his younger brother.

Byakuya nodded and slapped the skull of his brother who yelped a nin, "All is forgiven."

Doesn't feel like that.

The white shinobi stood up and commented, "The Earth is sure a nice place. No wonder so many monsters chose to stay here," he stood up and clean up the scroll he left on the ground, "It's good to know you are fine big brother. Anyway, I think I should make my leave."

"You're leaving already?" Akatsuki asked.

Zanya thought about it as he gazed at his young brother. He still hadn't forgotten when his life was in danger. With Ziun around and him not always being able to be close to his brother, "Can I ask you something?"

"Euh… Sure," the white nanomachine ninja replied.

He approached the monster and talked with the monster.

The others wondered what was going on, "So glad you won't leave."

"Nin," me too Akatsuki.

Ziun nodded as he sat down, finally recovered from the race. He couldn't hear them and wondered what it was about.

"Really?" Byakuya asked as he clapped his hands.

"I'm sure dad won't have problem with it. He knows what's going on," the boy replied.

"No wonder big brother was so busy. I have no problem to put your mind at ease. Something that big," he turned towards his older sibling and the Omni Lord.

The two knew that the monster was aware of the true.

The white ninja approached Akatsuki and said, "Your big brother told me what was going on and how much in trouble you could get."

"I don't put myself in trouble."

"Sorry. I meant how it searched for you and Ziun," he explained.

The young boy knew what he implied, "Ziun is my friend and we will help him remember everything."

"And your big brother suggests that I…" he raised his fingers and let the suspense continued for a few seconds, "Become your buddy. He cannot be everywhere if you end up in trouble."

Akatsuki had stars in his eyes.

Ziun lightly frowned.

"Of course, I cannot replace your best friend Ziun, but I'll be your buddy. After all, younger siblings must stick together right?" He asked with a smile behind his mask. He huffed when the boy hugged him with joy.

The black shinobi asked, You're certain about it?

"Yes. I cannot be everywhere."

Don't worry. My little brother is reliable. Just really talky.

"I think I'll survive that," the boy sighed.

The First Omni Lord knew he had to get use to it. Still, there was something reassuring if he couldn't stay forever. Not only that, Byakuya saw him as Akatsuki best friend.

"Ziun!" the boy hugged his friend, "I got a buddy now!"

"Of course, it would be me. Little brothers have to stick together," the monster chuckled.

The lion-like being smiled and hugged the boy. He won't complain when more people would protect him.

The white nanomachine monster said, "Of course. I'll have to bring my stuff and get the clear to stay with you. I only came for a short visit."

"Sure," Zanya replied.

Akatsuki jumped joyfully. He now had his own buddy.

The older brother realised he had to explain this to his father. He sighed and didn't mind it that much. He could rest reassure that someone would watch his brother. Not only that, but soon, he would use spells to defend himself if in danger. More time to rescue his sibling, if needed, was what he wanted. With Ziun around, he was doubly safe.

The memories of what happened at the museum was still fresh.

AC: This is the end of this episode. I hope you enjoy Akatsuki obtaining a new buddy.
