The sun was going down. Morihito, Kai and Kiyoshi were rushing around to find Kenji. But none of them saw him.

"Cmon...where could he be?" Morihito sighed.

"He is not here either." Kiyoshi looked around.

"Maybe he is in the room?" Kai thought.

"No, the lights are off. And no one is there. This is the time when everyone is preparing dinner." Morihito wondered.

"What was the last time you saw Kenji?" Kiyoshi asked doubtfully.

"Uhmm...I saw him leave the room when I was brushing my teeth in the morning." Kai tried his best to think of where Kenji went.

"I saw that too. But I haven't seen him since."

Morihito sighed. "The last time I saw him he was hiding in a group of people. You know, when you two were having a buddyfight, he seems to have gone on the hill over there."

Morihito pointed to the hill outside the window.

"It can be very dangerous if we go find him now." Kiyoshi reminded them.

"I agree. It is too dark to search for anything." Morihito said.

"What should we do now?"

"Kai, we will contact the teacher if he isn't coming back after an hour. So we can ask for help."

"In case the summer camp might end if he isn't coming back. The police will look for him." Morihito said.

"This means our vacation is ending...I just want to spend more time here! I hope he is fine." Kai said with frustration.

"I will go look for him. I trained my eyes in the dark when I was an ancient warrior." Xander suggested.

"That's a very good idea. Maybe Xander can find where Kenji is." Kiyoshi wondered.

"Are you sure you will be fine? Xander?" Morihito asked.

"Just leave it to me."

Xander flew and turned into his large form.

After that, everyone was waiting for Xander to come back to their room.

"Have anyone heard of a rumour about this island?" Kiyoshi asked.

"What is it?" Morihito said with a confused face.

"There was a monster like a bear that could not be captured since he hid in the forest."

"No way!" Kai was shocked by the rumour.

"Don't tell me Kenji would be captured by that monster..." Morihito did a facepalm.

"Whether it is only a rumour, we need to expect the worst scenario."

"We better save him now! There is still time before dinner!" Kai said.

"We have to wait until Xander reports back. The road is too dark for us." Kiyoshi said.

"I have doubts when I come to this island, is this place even safe for students? It feels weird." Morihito wondered.

Maybe I should look for Xander. He hasn't come back yet. Will he be fine?

"I am getting to the soft drink machine, be right back!" He said.

"Stay close to the lights! Come back soon!" Kai shouted.

"Be safe, Morihito." Kiyoshi said.

Later, Morihito sneaked around the trees and tried to get up on the mountain without anyone noticing.

Succeed! That wasn't hard. Hehe.

Oh man...it is so dark here.

Morihito lit up the front with his phone's flashlight and continued. A shadow popped up and covered his mouth. Morihito was trying to escape. However, he understood that it is a familiar presence.

"Xander?"

"Shhh...quiet. We can't let "him" notice us."

"I came to find you! Have you seen Kenji?"

"Turn off your lights. He will notice!" Xander whispered.

While Xander was trying to explain it to Morihito, he found out that his target disappeared.

"It can't be...! Where did he go?"

"What is it?"

Something was moving behind the bushes when Morihito was saying so.

"Morihito, LOOK OUT!!"

"WOAHH!"

Xander pushed Morihito away and prevented the attack.

"WHAT?"

"I told you to turn off the lights!!! Get back! Get BACK!! You can't see anything here!"

A shadow landed an attack on Morihito and Xander. Xander was worried about Morihito.

"Morihito! Run!"

"Here I come...Blue dragon shield!"

Morihito saw its attack and tried to cast his power to protect himself. This made Xander open-mouthed.

"I didn't know you can also cast magic except using the blade!!"

"It just came out when I called its name!"

"It isn't over! Watch out!"

Morihito shifted away from the attack.

"Was that some claws? Why is he attacking us?"

The beast roared and hit Morihito.

"Damn it! Morihito, Run!"

"Wait...!"

Why doesn't he further attack me after I shifted backwards?

Morihito noticed the beast's purpose might not be to hurt them but to make them stay away from his place.

"Stop! We don't want to harm you! We just want to find our missing friend! He has been gone for half a day, we are worried about him."

The beast seemed to understand Morihito's words.

"Huh?"

"He stopped? Wait...where did he go?" Xander looked around the area.

The shadow disappeared rapidly after Xander's eyes blinked.

"Xander, look! There's a cave over there."

"That's...! A human boy is inside!"

"Could it be Kenji?" Morihito thought.

"How is Kenji in this beast's cave?"

"Why do you two want to find him?"

Both Morihito and Xander were shocked by the female voice from the beast.

"The beast talked?! She's a bear?" Xander couldn't believe his ears.

"A bear?" Morihito stared at the cave.

"What do you want to do with this boy?" She asked.

She seems to be defending Kenji. But why? Xander couldn't understand her actions.

"We have been looking for Kenji for the whole day. I think he got lost on the island. Please!" Morihito begged.

She didn't reply for a moment, and then the beast spoke again.

"You may take him away and keep him safe. But you must face consequences if you break the promise."

"Of course!! He is also one of our roommates. We will take care of him."

"I put faith in you, human. Don't disappoint me."

The beast showed Morihito and Xander where Kenji was sleeping inside the cave.

"Let's try to get him out of here." Xander said.

"Gosh! He's so heavy...! Especially when he is sleeping. Why would he end up in a cave along with the bear?" Morihito tried his best to lift Kenji up.

"We would find out when he woke up."

"The bear, she's gone again..."

"More than that, Kiyoshi and Kai are waiting for us. They will be worried if you don't come back quickly."

Xander carried Kenji and returned with Morihito.

Kai and Kiyoshi saw Xander at a fine distance.

"Is that Morihito too? They are back!" Kai said excitedly.

"They brought Kenji back...!" Kiyoshi said.

"Thank God! What took you two so long?" Kai asked.

"Where did you find him?" And Kiyoshi said the same.

Morihito sighed.

"Welp. That's hard to explain..."

"What is that bear behind you two?" Blast asked them.

"What?!" Both Xander and Morihito said in shock.

Morihito's jaw dropped after seeing the beast follow them.

"Since when has she been here?!" Morihito said with vast eyes.

"I think we have some misunderstandings. I am his buddy monster, Armorknight Bear, Barnat the Ruler."

"Who?"

Everyone asked. And Morihito stared at Kenji.

Don't tell me...!

"So Kenji will come back by himself safely even if we don't search for him." Kiyoshi explained.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

"I guess we have no more worries. Let's head to dinner before teachers ask us anything. Otherwise, we will be too late!" Kai said with saliva at the corner of his mouth.

"That's right. It is impolite to make others wait for us." Kiyoshi nodded slightly.

"Will there be a Barbecued feast?" Xander asked with sparkling eyes.

"Haha, we will see." Morihito smiled.

"Ahhhh-hhaaaaaa..." A voice yawned.

"What're these noises..." Kenji said while rubbing his eyes.

"You are awake? We brought you back from the cave!" Morihito asked.

"What?! That was...I just shouted into a cave and-"

"A BEAR!!! Why is there a bear?!"

Kenji pointed his finger at Barnat. Everyone was very confused at this point.

"Don't you remember me?" Barnat asked.

"Hold up...why do you have her voice?"

"What do you mean by 'her voice'?" Morihito asked.

"I talked to a woman and she saved me from the beast!"

Morihito did a facepalm.

"So, let me guess. You didn't know she was the bear?" Morihito laughed slightly.

"You're gonna be kidding me!!"

Kenji looked at Barnat for a few seconds.

"Whatever! Of course, she is my buddy! I don't care whether she is a bear or not! YOU! You will be the one who is responsible for the whole incident!"

"What?! We risked bringing you back from that cave and we were being attacked! Luckily Xander protected me from Barnat!"

"Liar! I wasn't hurt! And I don't need your help either! You are the one being mad!"

"That is what I should have said! You put us in worries and didn't come back because of that? Do you know how many troubles you have caused? At least you should apologise! We almost got hurt!"

"Uhm guys...?" Kai stared at them.

"You should be the one who stops talking! You are an idiot!" Kenji shouted.

"Everyone calms down. Shouldn't we head to dinner first..." Kiyoshi suggested.

"I think they can't hear from us." Blast said.

"Just tell teachers that they will come later."

Kiyoshi sighed and thought of an idea.

"Maybe we can settle this with buddyfight?"

Both Morihito and Kenji stopped.

"That's actually a good idea. Maybe it is a chance to test skills after training." Xander thought.

"In this case, Barnat will be Kenji's buddy monster." Kiyoshi said.

"Who cares! We will shut your mouth! I couldn't wait to beat you for a long time!! Preparing for losing!"

"No, I will make you understand your faults!"

"Man, I also wanna see the fight so badly! But I have already starved for so long..." Kai said with his shouting belly.

"The Buddyfight case has a record function to record the whole fight. We can watch it when we are back."

"Cool! Then, I guess me and Kiyoshi will get dinner first. Blast, please take care of them! See you."

"Roger that. You two, prepare yourself." Blast said.

Kai threw a buddyfight case on the floor.

"Warriors, show the light to the world! Luminize! Dragon guardians of Justice!"

"Be trembled! Bows to the King of the beast! Luminize! Reborn Armorknight!"

"Raise the flags, fighters."

"Dragon World!"

"Danger World!"

"Buddy, Xander dragon."

"Buddy monster, Armorknight Bear Barnat!"

"I won't let you hurt my host!"

Armorknight Polar bear took the arrow and it stabbed on his chest. He activated his soulguard and remained on the field.

"He took the hit instead of the fighter?"

"Armorknight Polar bear can redirect any card's attack to his. So you won't be able to attack me!" Kenji explained.

"What's this-"

Morihito noticed a sudden pressure on his back. When he looked at the front, he felt like someone put a knife near his neck and he couldn't move.

What is this horrible feeling? It feels that I won't be able to hit him...is it because of that dangerous aura that possessed him?

"As you have attacked four times, you can't deal any damage to me this turn!" Kenji giggled.

I won't be able to use Drago Blade's ability either.

"Fine, I will end my turn here." Morihito announced.

Kenji smirked.

Kenji's field

[Life: 11(buddy gift)/ Gauge: 2/ Hand: 4]

Item: Fang Axe of Violence, Armorknight King's Slay

(C: Barnat) (R:Armorknight Lizardman)

"King always sounds better than a queen."

Barnat looked akin to a bear but with armorknight armour that is full of spikes and a cape at her back.

Even though she doesn't hold any weapon, I can feel her bloodlust and pressure towards everyone here. Xander stared at Barnat.

Why did Kenji call his monster in the centre? About Barnat, she has lots of strength when we fought her. There is no doubt that she can be very strong in buddy fights. Morihito thought.

"With a buddy monster on my field, no one can defeat me!" Kenji laughed.

Barnat stared at Kenji.

In a flashback of hers, Kenji rolled on the ground in the dark cave and rubbed his eyes.

"You're finally awake."

"Where am I? Hold up, where were those red eyes from the darkness? I knew there was something dangerous from the cave!"

"There isn't. You are safe. You were in a coma for some time. And no one came here afterwards."

"Thank you for saving me from that monster." Kenji said.

Her voice is so sweet...

"Lady, why are you staying in a cave?" He asked.

"People are trying to capture me. So I hid in here."

"How? Why would they hunt you?"

"Boy, not all humans are innocent like you. Some humans are selfish and willing to harm nature. I wanted to protect this place, so I tried to drive them out. But then, there were more people to hunt for me."

"That's a sad story."

"Maybe you should tell me about yours too."

"Me? Eh."

Kenji didn't talk for a while and looked furious.

"What's wrong?"

"I just feel mad when I just think of it."

"What is it?"

"Meh. Can you imagine losing a fight to a newbie that never knew how to play buddyfight? And he won just by luck! It was totally not making any sense at all!! He is just a dumb beginner!"

"I see."

"That was my greatest chance to obtain a buddy that I wanted a long time ago! A very strong monster! Like a true warrior!"

"Is he from the Danger world?"

"No, he is a dragon world monster, and he became that idiot's buddy monster."

"Which world are you using?"

"It is Danger World."

"Then that buddy monster won't fit into your deck. He is a monster from a different world."

"But I am still mad! I can't believe I lost to him. So I want revenge on that idiot, and slash that trash with my axe in a buddy fight!"

"I am a monster from the Danger world. Maybe I can help you defeat your opponent."

"No way! I thought you were a lady!"

"Of course I am. I can be your buddy monster."

Kenji imagined the lady holding a dangerous axe with a gentle smile.

"Maybe...that actually is not really at all."

"But I have one request. You must let me hide in your deck so that I can get away from those hunters."

"That's the deal! We will defeat that bastard together!"

Just wait when I return, I can already imagine that he cries! Kenji thought.

At present, the fight between Morihito and Kenji continued.

"I will assist my buddy as much as I can." Barnat said.

"Because Barnat is on the field, Armorknight Lizardman's size is reduced by 1 and all cards on my field get 10000 power. Then I can call Armorknight Hellhound, Rage Mode to the left position!" Kenji said.

"Garrrrrr..."

"I call Silver Frost Dragon, Tech of Stars to the center!" Morihito attempted to use the card but Frost Dragon didn't appear.

What...?!

"A great power is flowing in my chest...aghhhhh!!" Barnat roared.

"What?!" Morihito was shocked by the sudden explosion of power in Barnat.

"This is...way too powerful!!"

Pirate Dragon got blown away by Barnat's punch.

"Pirate Dragon!" Morihito yelled his name.

"Morihito! It is all down to you now! Go defeat Kenji!"

"I will!"

Crap! Dragon Blade can't destroy Barnat if she has higher defense than my attack!

"My turn ends here!"

Kenji charged and drew.

"Master. Take this feast."

Barnat put raw meat into her mouth.

"Well done, my servant."

"Something green glows in Barnat!" Morihito noticed.

"It is a soulguard. She got it from that werewolf." Xander explained.

"Barnat, go attack the fighter! Crash him into pieces!" Kenji yelled aggressively.

"Morihito, move me to the centre!"

"No, I can tackle this!"

(R: Xander)

"That was nothing...heh." Morihito coughed.

"Werewolf, attack Morihito!"

Armorknight werewolf put out his machine gun and fired it on Morihito.

"Target check."

Armorknight werewolf put on his special goggles.

"Master, our target missed."

"He blocked it! It is his freaking dragon shield again!" Kenji said angrily.

"Do I care? I will win in the end! Taste the pain!"

Kenji wielded his axe straightforwardly.

"Ughh!"

(R: Xander)

"Let's go, Xander! Attack Barnat and her fellows!"

While Xander tried to attack. Kenji laughed as hard as he could. Morihito was confused by this scenario.

"Barnat! It is time!"

"Intimidation". She said coldly.

It was like all living things went silent in the field, no sounds were emitted. Only the dangerous feeling coming from Barnat.

"I can't...breathe? What's this?"

Kenji put 7 gauges into Barnat's soulguard.

"What in the world?! Barnat's soulguard just increased like crazy!" Morihito couldn't believe his eyes.

"And I can't move...this must be Barnat's true power!" Xander noted his lips and sweat falling from his forehead.

I thought we could destroy Barnat, I never thought she had such an ability! Dragon Blade can't attack Kenji if the centre isn't open. But...

Morihito stared at his cards.

"Xander! Do you believe in me?"

"As always!"

(R: Xander)

"Protector Dragon, Xander is here."

"My ability...it went off!" Barnat was surprised.

"No! How did this happen? I should have blocked his attack!" Kenji roared.

"When your targeted card does not exist on the field, the ability will go off. Kai told me about the ABC cup, so I took a look. The last ABC cup champion - Yuga Mikado used this technique to win against his opponents."

"Damn it, cheater! I won't lose! I still have Barnat on my field to protect me. You can't beat me in this turn." Kenji munched his lips.

"Haha, we will see. Now Xander has 20000 power, 5000 defense and critical of 2. It has a double attack. When he attacks, he deals 3 damage to his opponent. Xander, attack Kenji!"

"What?! You're gonna be kidding me! All those soulguard in Barnat are useless now!"

After the fight, Morihito and Kenji went to the barbecue venue after the fight.

"There they are! You guys are so late!"

Kai and Kiyoshi waved at Morihito and Kenji. While Kai was munching his meat.

"Here."

Kiyoshi handed over the barbecue forks. Morihito had some thoughts on them.

Sometime after, Morihito sat near the fire.

"Morihito? What are you doing? Why don't you taste one of these?" Xander asked.

Morihito poured and spreaded honey on the chicken wings.

"Perfect." He said.

"May I have one?"

Xander took one and put it into his mouth.

"This is...the food from the heaven-" Xander cried with tears of happiness. (TvT)

Morihito approached Kenji.

"Hey. I got extra. Want some?"

"Go eat them yourself." Kenji stared away.

"Are you sure about that?" Morihito asked.

Kenji looked at the sparkling chicken wings, then turned his head away. And stared at them again and again.

"They are not poisoned. Just take them, they are still fresh and hot."

Kenji looked at Xander for a second and takes one chicken wing. He took a bite, munching it slowly and took another, and another one quickly, eventually finishing it.

"I am sorry...for what I did." He said in a low volume that almost no one can hear.

"I guess...I will take it." Morihito smiled.

Kenji's face turned into a little red apple.

"Just kidding!! I am still mad at you! Don't mess with me!"

Kenji stomped away.

"What the? Is he insane or something-" Morihito thought.

"I apologise for the troubles we have caused. Please forgive him." Barnat talked to Morihito.

"It is alright. I think he just needs some time. I felt bad after I shouted at him, I didn't know what he had encountered either."

"I see. Do you two have something called "friendship"?"

"Uh excuse me- what? That's not what I mean."

"No Morihito, you two can be really good friends." Xander said.

"But you saw how he treated me, you are telling me to be friends with him?"

"And you didn't know about him until you two had a buddyfight and understood each other." Xander smiled.

"Welp, I...didn't know."

Morihito didn't know how to counter Xander's words, as he thought it twice or more, it is somehow true.

"It might be hard to believe, but I don't think my buddy is evil. He is only-"

"I would say he is kinda bad-tempered. Hah, these make all his things understandable." Morihito said before Barnat finished his sentence.

"I bet he would be mad at you after you said so." Xander laughed.

"Hehe, don't let him hear this..." Morihito stretched his face lightly.
