Chapter 12: Prelude! Intensify Training, World Euro Champion Team Twin Avenger takes the stage
That morning at Mikado Gao's residence
"Gao nii-chan time for breakfast… Hanako said as she was opening her brothers bedroom but was halted by Exia and Drum
"Shh… hanako you would wake him up…" Drum said as they were closing the door
"what happen drum?" Hanako asked
"Well I can explain…" Exia sighed
As Exia explained Gao hadn't slept after tasuku's fight he was thinking of the perfect strategy and even managing his deck alone but it still isn't enough and he got tired of trying and screw himself by reading lots of comics
"Ah I see… but there is a guest downstairs it's rude to not welcome her.." Hanako said
"Her? What do you mean by her?!" Drum shouted as as they went downstairs they saw none other than Sofia Sakharov.
"Your pizza is really good…" She said as she eats the pizza and her clothes are modist not like her usual too serious blue robe.
"What are you doing here?!" Drum shouted
"I've come here for Mikado…" Sofia sighed
"What do you want with him? It's enough of that one year you mess us up…" Drum shouted
"Let me state this one... firstly I didn't take any part of your mess and second I intentionally disobey kyoya to help all of you.." Sofia sighed
"Wait… you were suppose to help us?" Drum asked
"That's right but I have my own judgment and I intend to keep it now may I ask where is your buddy?" Sofia asked
"He is in his room.." Exia said
"Exia…." Drum said as he growled at the magic dragon.
"Can I see him in his room?" Sofia asked to Hanako and her mom
"Go ahead.." Hanako's mom said
"But mom Gao nii is still…" Hanako said
"well then if you permit it…" Sofia said as she barged into Gao's room
"You and your big mouth.." Drum said
"Sorry Drum-sama…" Exia said pleadingly to him
At Gao's room
"Hmm it seems he is sleeping maybe I shouldn't bother him but this is urgent… Gao! Tasuku is here to come see you!" Sofia shouted right at Gao's ears
"Tasuku! Where?!" Gao shouted as he wakes up and saw Sofia in front of him and jumped from his bed while hitting his head to the floor
"you're as predictable as ever…" She sighed
"What do you want Sofia Sakharov?" As gao regain consciousness from his sudden surprised act he asked her.
"let's talk this after breakfast now get on your lazy head and go downstairs.." Sofia said
"I like the old sofia better she acts like my mom…" Gao sighed and thought
"Oh would you repeat what you say?" Sofia asked
'Alright alright I'm going!" Gao shouted as he quickly prepares himself for breakfast
After a while they have breakfast but it seems that Gao isn't in the mood and not eating his food
"something is bothering you right?" Sofia asked him
"Yeah…" Gao sighed
"Is it about Tasuku that's why I was here…" Sofia said to Gao
"What do you know!" He shouted
"Well come with me.. I wanted to show you something and tell the reason but first you must eat a lot.." Sofia smiled
"Right! I'm getting fired up!" Gao shouted and eats his food as fast as he can and undoubtedly have seconds
After a while Gao followed Sofia and in the middle of the way…
"What are they doing especially sofia Sakharov.." Gaitou thought and decided to follow them
"Gaitou is this wise?" Abygale asked
"Hmm destiny tells me to.. let's go…" Gaitou said
"Right…" Abygale said
At the middle of deserted forest and outer part of the city
"What are we doing here?" Drum asked
"Just follow her we may know…" Exia sighed
"We're here…" As Sofia claps his hands a base appears with a logo of gaen corp and that was an underground stair case and they went in and Gaitou seeing the opportunity also goes in before the door closes as they goes down the underground floor finally they arrive at what they call a training facility or buddyfight facility and it seems abandoned
"What is this place?!" Gao shouted as the lights went on and he saw many buddyfighting equipment
"I want you to hone your skills here and of course you're not alone…" Sofia sighed
"Come out all of you… First off.." Sofia sighed as she introduced the first person out was none other than sengoku academy shosetsu
"Shosetsu…" Gao said
"It's nice to see you again…" Shosetsu smiled at him
"Next one maybe you'll know him Cetacea academy, Kaido Dai.." Sofia said
"Festival! Camp Festival!" Kaido shouted
"Kaido!" Gao shouted
"And of course the owner of this facility… he is the euro team champion leader… Asukawa Roxas…" Sofia said
"Hello everyone!" Roxas shouted as he appears from the air with his buddy the Glacier Dragoner, Strain Findar the 98 the successor before jackknife dragon
"Well that was anti climatic…" Gao said
"Sorry for my lame entrance… but I'm so fired up seeing the ABC cup winner and last years tournament…" Roxas smiled
"Um thank you.." Gao said
"Well I just wanted to say this before we begin… A rat is here could you come out…" Roxas said
"Tch… I've been spotted…" Gaitou sighed as he comes out from his hiding place
"Is this okay?" Sofia asked
"Yeah I'm fine with it… the more the merrier well let me explain first as you already know our names maybe we should say welcome to The Death Reaper Gaitou and The Mighty Sun Fighter Mikado Gao to our lair…" Roxas said seriously
"Lair…. Here we go again.." Sofia sighed
"Next… why am I here.. you already know the replica monster…" Roxas said
"Just what are they?!" Gaitou shouted
"Let me explain first once a long time ago the Star Dragon World is a peaceful place but one day the peace was disturb by the rebel or what you call replica dragons and their leader was none other than… Jackknife Dragon my grandson… " Strainsaid while the other gasped except for Sofia, Kaido, and Shosetsu and his dragon form looks like an old dragoner but because of the newly armor it's hard to recognize his age
"your grand son?!" Gao shouted
"Why did you look so surprised Gao? It's wise to say so…" Roxas said
"Well he rebel a while back… as a result of my mistake not acknowledging him as he goes down to the dark path… but I sealed him off as he was too dangerous and degrade him from a star dragon world monster into a regular dragon world monster" Strain sighed
"What?! You're the one! That's why…" Exia gasped
"What's up exia wanna say something?" Gao asked
"Well this just bugs me up.. what is actually the trigger in leading jack that way may I ask?" Exia asked
"Well that reason is what I don't know he just went bloodlust and starting to murder his own kind… " Strain sighed
"Hmm…." Drum didn't talk like he usually do for this matter
"Drum is something wrong?" Gao asked
"Could it be the phantom knights…" Abygale said
"Abygale what are you talking about?" Gaitou asked
"There is no other one that can easily manipulate them unless it's the leader of phantom knights… one of his skill is to manipulate a person hearts" Abygale said
"Phantom knights what are they?" Gao asked
"Well from what I know they are more evil and powerful than azi dahaka…" Abygale continued
"More powerful than azi dahaka…" Gaitou said
"Right…" Abygale said
"Hmm maybe you're right he said that once before and I think that monster's name is…" Strain said
Meanwhile,
"So how was your fight with Noboru?" The cloaked fighter said as he looks at the fight between Noboru and Dash who hides his identity in his mask
"Full strash Formation!" Noboru shouted as it was a special match in the league but The masked mn just dodge the attack using a block spell and decrease the damage to 0
"I cast Hero will not Fall…" The masked man said
"I end my turn…." Noboru said
"Now let me finish this and you can call me Masked D Time for final phase by paying 4 gauge I cast upon your judgment when there is 2 dark hero on the field I return them to my deck and deals damage to their critical and this attack can't be reduced Dark Requiem Buster!" He creates an X sign from his palm and attacks Noboru directly
"What?!" Noboru shouted as he felt the damage as real and collapsed as the game ends
"Goodbye Noboru it has been a blast but I'm having the real price of destroying Gao myself…" Masked D sighed as he left
"Noboru get up noboru…." Torra said comforting his partner
"You're a good buddy but not good enough…" The black machine behind him appears and returns to masked D deck
Back with Gao and the others
"well firstly I challenge you to a buddy fight kurouze gaitou… let's just say this is a revenge match…" Shosetsu said
"Fine I accept your challenge…" Gaitou said
"Well what do we do?" Gao asked
"You're gonna train with us in the other room…" Kaido and Roxas said as their buddy was now in their real form
"one versus two that seems not fair…" Gao said
"Your buddies are gonna fight… I'm a pacifist I'm counting on you Kaido…" Roxas said
"Okay…" Kaido winked
"Wait why are the four of you are so tight to each other?" Gao asked
"That is because we are one team and the winner for Euro champion Mikado Gao they are my teammate and I'll give you a hellish time here just like my old day don't think I'm as old as you we're on the same level… you are wrong We of team win avengers will not let you see the day until you've achieved your purpose get stronger and evolve is our method…" Roxas sighed
