After the Buddyfest, at midnight. Morihito and Xander were sleeping on their beds.

Meanwhile, Morihito was having a weird dream.

In a dark place without anyone, something was whispering in his ears.

"Wake up…Morihito." The voice whispered.

"Hmm? Where am I?" Morihito rubbed his eyes.

"There is no time to explain, you have to wake up now."

"What are you talking about? I am sleepy…"

"You are in danger. You have to leave with Xander now. "He" is coming."

"Huh? Who is "he"? Also, who are you??"

"I am trying to protect you."

"Protect me? Why? I don't really know who you are, but you seem to be someone I know…"

Morihito searched for his deck but he couldn't find it.

"Listen, Morihito. This is not the reality, you are in a dream."

"Dream? Oh, I see. All makes sense now."

"But what I am saying is real and you will encounter it in reality. Since this is my only method to communicate with you, I can't meet you frequently."

"Huh?? You met me before?"

"Indeed, my host. I am here to warn you."

An unknown wave disrupted the dream and Morihito was shocked.

"Seems we don't have much time left. Unleash me so I can safeguard you from him."

"'Unleash' you? What do you mean?" Morihito shouted louder as the mysterious voice got dimmer. More waves disrupted the dream and numerous cracks appeared in the dream.

"I need to go…"

"Wait! Don't!" Morihito cried.

"AH! Uh…?"

In reality, Morihito was roused by the dream. He looked around his room and saw Xander was sleeping.

"A weird dream again...why can't I always sleep well?" He sighed.

Morihito tried to get back to sleep, but he kept rolling on the bed.

"Ugh. I hate this." He moaned.

He woke up and walked to the kitchen, poured a cup of warm water and drank it slowly.

"Huff...a lot better."

Then, he ambled to the living room and sat down on the sofa.

Abruptly, he heard some sounds outside. Therefore he opened the window, but no one was there. Morihito walked out of the door to see if anyone was around.

"Perhaps I thought too much, haha."

Right at that time, Morihito stepped back to his house and something pulled him backwards, all the way down to the streets.

"WooAhhhhHHHHH!!!" He hollered.

"What the hell was that?" He said while gasping for breath.

A huge shadow appeared behind Morihito and he was scared to make a move.

"He...llo?"

He slowly turned around. What he saw was black and murk, a tremendous dark dragon, with bright glowing red eyes.

"Ahhhh!! Ah my god!"

"Long time no see, chosen one." The beast said in a cold, disturbing and deep voice.

"Who the heck are you? I don't know you!" Morihito screeched with quivering hands as if he wanted to make another scream.

"You don't have to know my name. I will eliminate your existence!"

The black dragon tried to scratch Morihito. Luckily, Morihito got away.

"AH! Please calm down!" Morihito ran away but the black dragon followed and obstructed his way.

"Holy moly! What do you want from me?!"

"Your powers…I shall take it as mine."

"Powers? What powers? I am only an ordinary student!!" Morihito kept running while the black dragon chased behind him.

"Seems you don't remember. But fortunately, you don't have to. Because you would die tonight! Muahahaha!"

It generated a red and high energy sphere and was ready to land on Morihito.

"AHHH--"

Morihito covered his face with his arms and was scared to open them again.

Suddenly, a tiny dragon rushed towards and transformed into a larger one, grabbing his sword and getting in the way of Morihito.

"Humph! You wanna hurt my buddy? Think about it twice!"

Xander blocked the black dragon's attack. Massive shiny sparkles alongside his broadsword and fell back.

Morihito slowly opened his eyes and saw the shawl.

"Xander? When did you…"

"You're alright? I heard your scream and rushed out."

"Another dragon?" The musk dragon got back and the sphere disappeared.

"I don't know who you are, but if you want to take away my family, I will defeat you whatever it takes!!" Xander shouted at the black dragon.

The black dragon recognised Xander and laughed.

"What's so funny…?"

"Just reminded me of some kinds of old stuff, Xander the Force Protector Dragon."

Xander could not believe that he knew him.

"How did you...know my name?"

"You won't forget what happened on 'that day', would you?"

Xander had a little flashback on the disasters and the enemy he saw at that time. It was a giant black dragon, exactly what he saw before his most precious family left him.

"YOU…!" Xander changed to a louder and infuriated tone and pointed his sword at that black dragon.

"Xander?" Morihito asked.

"Morihito, move backwards. I will finish him off."

Morihito was worried and hesitated.

"Don't need to be concerned. Run!"

"How about you?"

"I can finish him off as easily as destroying monsters in buddyfights! If you don't go now, you won't have a second chance!! Wait for me down the streets, okay?" Xander shouted.

"Xander…you have to win!" Morihito said with welled up eyes. "I believe in you! So don't lose!"

"Yeah. I will catch up real quick." Xander replied.

Xander saw Morihito run for a long distance and continued.

"What a comedy. All your words were just lies. Do you seriously think you can defeat me?"

"Our fight hasn't started yet, and now is just the beginning. Let us finish this!" Xander said.

"What a pleasure, Force Protector Dragon, Xander!" The black dragon chortled.

"Taste my attacks!!"

Xander slashed through that black dragon. However, that black dragon held his blade with his hands and threw it away.

"Oh, crap…" Xander stared at his bare hands with a drop of my sweat. (o_o!)

"It is my turn."

The black dragon summoned a lot of dark shards from his portal and attacked Xander.

Xander evaded the shards and grabbed back his shiny broadsword that was lying on the floor. Then, he used it to block all the shards.

"Not bad." The black dragon smirked.

"Hum. I am a trained warrior after all! Those experiences are not wasted!!" Xander continued slashing during the conversation.

The black dragon laughed.

"'Trained'? You sound like a fledgeling to me! Let me show you something 'different'."

"Power of Origin, release!"

The black dragon's red eyes become dazzling as if the atmosphere got silent at that moment. Suddenly, a wave of energy flew into him. Xander felt his opponent gained a lot of power.

"How...he has such overwhelming strength?"

Unexpectedly, the black dragon called out some names and summoned some followers from space. Just like in real buddyfight games.

"What the hell…?!"

The wild monsters roared and attacked Xander.

"Graaah…! Come, I don't afraid of you!" Xander shouted bravely.

Xander chopped them down one by one and they disappeared into card pieces like in-game. The black dragon cast a spell on Xander and let him burn.

"Ughh!! Ahh!" He moaned. "Not at all! Lifestream!! His injuries recovered and the fire went off. Xander kept an eye on him.

"Recovery, huh." The black dragon said.

"That's my ability. Your followers all fainted, and you are the next!" Xander shouted ragingly.

'Ability'? Only Power of Origin users can use their abilities in a real fight. So that kid awoke his power even though that power is obscure to him…interesting.

"I guess I don't need to waste more time on you." He Immediately pulled out several floating dragon blasters from his void gates and charged them at Xander.

Xander: Huh?!

"Wooooooooshhhh!!"

Meanwhile, Morihito was running down a road and stopped. He had drained all his energy. All of a sudden, an unpeaceful feeling rose in his chest and he coughed.

Why am I running away? I shouldn't! Something is not right!

I have an uneasy feeling about this. Did something happen to Xander?

He ran back in the opposite way to find Xander.

"Xander...Xander! You're gonna be fine! Please…!" He panted.

At the same time, Xander fell to the ground and was unable to make a move.

"How ironic. You were once a force protector dragon, a strong being, but now you have lost to me." The black dragon said.

"I wonder where that little boy goes…" He took a step away.

Xander wanted to catch his right leg, but the black dragon avoided him and kicked in his face.

"If you dare...to hurt him...I won't forgive you…!" Xander said with weak huffing and puffing.

"Hm?" The black dragon ceased.

"You hurt...my family...you destroyed our homes…" Xander mumbled sickly.

"Don't you...ever regret what you did to us!!"

"You talked quite a lot." The black dragon scratched his face.

"Aghhh!!" He moaned bitterly.

Morihito heard Xander's screams and ran faster.

"Xander! Xander!! No!"

Xander looked at Morihito in a weak state. Morihito gazed at him sweating, his body trembled in dread, he could all his blood vessels were burning.

"I told you...to stay away from here...why you still come back...you stupid human…"

Morihito hugged Xander and started sobbing. The tears fell on Xander's chin.

"I am sorry...Morihito."

"Don't worry Xander, you're gonna be fine! We will be alright!"

"Yea…Thank you…"

Xander fainted and closed his eyes. Morihito put him down on the ground gently.

"So you have chosen your path, I respect that." The black dragon approached Morihito's back with sharp claws. "But you must face your fate."

The black dragon gathered the shards and prepared to land on Morihito. While Morihito had all the flashbacks with Xander. All those moments, he loved them so much.

"Any last words?"

"I guess I am really foolish…" Morihito covered his face and wept.

"Indeed you are." The black dragon said and the flowing shards darted towards Morihito.

Because I am?

Morihito remembered how Xander protected him in buddyfights, the exhibition incident and the black dragon.

I was weak.

I was always being protected by others while unable to do a single thing.

Morihito was ashamed of what he did and furious at the same time.

Why am I…

Instantaneously, he thought of what the mysterious person told him in the dream. He stared with broad eyes.

"Unleash me."

"If I have that power...please tell me what to do…"

"I just want to protect my buddy!!" Morihito cried out thunderously with his tears splashed out on two sides. His eyes gleamed like blue diamonds.

The black dragon released the shards and they darted at Morihito. A card flew near Morihito like an arrow and became a blade. It blocked the attack and stabbed on the ground.

Morihito was surprised by how the blade came into reality.

"Is this Drago Blade?!" Morihito stared at the cyan shining blade. Nevertheless, he dragged out the blade with his full strength.

Please, lend me your strength, Drago!

A flow of force into Morihito's body, but this time, it is more than it was in a normal buddyfight. He used another hand to touch his chest.

Something is heating up in my body…!! Ugh!!!

Morihito's eyes turned brighter and even more cyan. Blue lightning bolts flew around him, gazing and preoccupying at the black dragon enragingly.

Meanwhile, the screen showed the status of high energy results, which triggered the alarm of the Buddy Police office.

"WARNING, HIGH ENERGY DEFECTED"

"A high energy reaction appeared. Unconfirmed reason."

"An illegal monster?"

"The energy level is much higher than the past record…! How is this possible?"

The gate opened. A tall man with blue hair and a neat uniform came in.

"Good night, commissioner!" All the staff stood erect.

"Did something happen?" Tasuku gazed at the screen and his eyes became wide.

The police looked at each other. None of them expected that Tasuku was here.

Tasuku was stunned by the report on screen. He clenched his fist and lips.

Could this be? Things pop up too fast!

But this time...I am ready.

"Call all the elites, we are heading near the residential areas."

"Yes sir!"

Morihito and the black dragon were fighting.

His movements…I can see them clearly! Morihito wondered.

"Even when you awaken this power, you don't know how to use it. You won't be able to defeat me, even your buddy helps you!" The black dragon scraped on Morihito's blade and he moved backwards like lightning.

"I don't care if I am defeated or not. You will pay for what you did to Xander!!" Morihito dashed and lacerated the black dragon.

"You should worry about yourself more than the others…"

He pulled out black shards and fired his blasters at Morihito.

"I cast! Blue Dragon Shield!!"

A sparkling shield with a blue dragon face on its topping emerged.

It worked…! No way…that was like what commissioner Tasuku did!

The shield defended all the dark shards. However, when it met the blasters, it slowly broke into pieces. Morihito cast his blade to block the lasers. The energy reflected on both sides.

"Well done on blocking my attacks, but how about saving your dear friends?"

The black dragon charged his blasters and was ready to blow up the area.

Oh no! He is planning to launch the attacks on the residential areas! If this continues...they will…!

Morihito looked at his back, Xander and the houses.

"STOP! There is nothing to do with the innocents!!" Morihito shouted.

The black dragon prepared to land the attack. However, it stopped generating suddenly.

"Annoying humans…" The black dragon said hatefully.

"You are lucky this time. But not the next time. We will meet again, the chosen one."

"Huh?" Morihito stared at the black dragon with confusion.

The black dragon summoned an unknown space and disappeared into the darkness.

At the same time, Morihito's blade was deactivated. He returned back to normal and kneeled down on the ground.

"Huff….ughh…uh." Morihito couldn't stop panting.

Xander opened his eyes tardily.

"...Morihito?"

"Xander? Thank god you're fine!"

Morihito hugged Xander right away.

"Hmph…" Xander smiled pleasantly.

Right at that moment, a few police cars stopped in front of them. Tasuku got out of the buddy police car.

Tasuku saw Morihito and Xander injured.

"I am too late…" Tasuku grasped his teeth.

"Commissioner Tasuku? And Buddy Police?" Morihito asked.

"Take Xander to the hospital first, we will talk later."

Morihito nodded.
