Chapter 35: Tasuku and Jackknife On Duty
Jackknife flew in the sky of the city in his real form with Tasuku on his back. Jackknife and Tasuku had an earpiece for communication.
"-Tasuku. Can you hear me?-" a female voice asked the boy.
Tasuku knew it was Stella Waston replied, "Yes. I can hear you. The new earpieces are working better than the previous one. I haven't activated my buddyskill yet though."
"-We still haven't really found the cause of the disturbance caused by the buddyskill, but we are getting into it. Let's hope you can both still communicate with us if you activated it.-"
"Let's hope too. Where is the suspect?" Jackknife asked.
"-The suspect is currently chased by the regular policeman, but they saw a buddy with him. His name is Akaoni Kanme, but we haven't identified his buddy yet. They are north-west of your position.-"
"Let's test the earpiece first," Jackknife suggested.
Tasuku nodded and said, "Buddyskill on!"
"The word buddy is going to hunt us forever," Jackknife grumbled.
The circle appeared on Tasuku feet and flew in the air by his buddy side. The boy smiled brightly as he felt the wind on his blue hair. He looked at his partner; it was the instant he always felt free of everything, flying in the sky with his most important friend as if they were the same.
"-Can y*u St*l* h**r me?-" they heard interference in their earpiece.
"It's better than before, but we can't really hear you," Jackknife replied.
Tasuku returned in his buddy's back and deactivated the buddyskill.
"-I guess we are in good ways. The scientist already took note to update it. Listen, once you are at his reach, activate the skill and arrest him. If he escaped, end the buddyskill and contact me,-" Stella suggested.
"Understood," the duo replied.
Tasuku made his deck turned into his core gadget form.
They reached the highway and turned their gaze toward it. They saw polices car surrounding another car. They saw a man outside. It was a man with dark skin, red eyes, short brown hair and two long teeth rising to his upper lips. He wore a black jacket with black pants.
"We found the thief, but I don't see his buddy," Jackknife commented.
They then saw one of the police car cut in two by an axe attached by a purple tail. Jackknife saw the purple dragon, twice taller than the man with a blade on his forehead.
"That's Axe Dragon Dorcas from Danger World. He's not that strong," Jackknife commented.
"We have to act before they kill someone," Tasuku said as he reactivated his buddy skill.
They flew toward the scene of the crime. Jackknife landed in from the purple dragon, shielding the policeman while Tasuku landed by his side with a spellcard in his hand.
"Dammit. That's the stupid kid from the Buddy Police," Akaoni grunted.
Tasuku raised his badge and replied, "That's right. You have only two options thief. You can either surrender or try to fight me!"
"Tasuku, you should just focus on giving the first option. Remember," Jackknife told his buddy.
Great. I say it again. I'm so going to get lecture by The Commander again. Tasuku thought.
"I will fight you stupid kid! Face the power of my buddy!" Akaoni said. He took out his deck and turned into his core gadget, which was an underwear. It shined as he yelled "Yeah!" with confidence.
Jackknife and Tasuku watched it silently for a few seconds.
"Tell me that's not your core gadget!" Jackknife shouted loudly before laughing hysterically and hitting his knee.
"Stop it Jack. You shouldn't laugh," but Tasuku was contaminated by his buddy laugh.
Dorcas had a sweat drop and sighed.
"Stop it!" Akaoni ordered.
Dorcas charged as Jackknife laughed, with the blade of his head first. Jackknife suddenly stopped laughing and grabbed the blade with his hands.
"A surprise attack won't work at me!" Jackknife shouted. He opened his wings and flew toward the sky. He was about to throw the Dorcas when,
"Crimson Slash!" Akaoni yelled.
Tasuku smiled and used his green dragon shield to block it, "I've buddyfight with stronger opponent than you," he then took another card from his core gadget and turned it into his usual Drago Blade sword. He charged toward Akaoni and raised his blade.
Akaoni drew a card, but Tasuku was already in front of him. Akaoni flinched when the boy slashed, but he wasn't hit. At the next second, the boy jumped from the sword handle and kicked the thief face. He then grabbed the arm and threw him on the ground.
Tasuku lightly smiled and said, "One year at the Mikado dojo paid off."
Akaoni grunted and yelled, "Enough!" before taking out a card, "Explosive Axe, Ricdeau Demon Slay!" A black and long axe was now in his hands before he stood up.
Tasuku grunted, Dammit! I let him use a weapon card.
Jackknife flew higher and when he looked down, he saw his buddy fighting against Akaoni with dangerous weapons. He knew Tasuku could handle himself, but he wasn't about to let him in danger for a second. He spun in the air before yelling, "You're going down!" before throwing the dragon who crashed on the street.
He then flew down toward the thief, who managed to push Tasuku on a corner and made him drop his sword.
"Leave him alone!" Jackknife yelled, charging toward the thief.
Akaoni raised his head and yelled when he saw the furious dragon coming at him. He dropped his axe on the ground and tried to run away.
Tasuku tripped the man and the thief felt on the ground. Jackknife landed on the ground and trapped Akaoni with his claw.
Tasuku used his core gadget to deactivate the thief one and confiscate it, "It's over for you and-"
The saw the purple dragon running away.
"Jack! Bring him to the policeman, I'll follow him!" Tasuku yelled.
Jackknife nodded and hurried to the cops while Tasuku followed the dragon from the air, thanks to his buddyskill.
Tasuku took out a card from his core gadget and waited for the moment to strike. He waited for the dragon to run somewhere with less potential innocents in his way.
Jackknife caught up with his buddy without any problem, "This isn't good. We can't act here."
"I know. We have to wait for-" Tasuku smiled and used his card. "Blue Dragon Shield!"
Dorcas smashed his face against the shield while Jackknife charged toward the purple dragon and landed violently on his back, crushing the criminal on the ground.
"Surrender now!" Jackknife ordered.
"Yeah," Dorcas painfully replied.
"You're turn Tasuku," Jackknife said.
Tasuku took out a pair of cuff and moved them close to Dorcas. It forced the purple dragon to turn into his chibi form before putting them around the dragon wrist, who wasn't under Jackknife foot, thankfully for him, "You are under arrest for thievery, fighting officers of the police force and putting the life of citizens in danger. You're going in Buddy prison."
"Buddy prison. I still hate that name. Sound too cheerful," Jackknife commented silently.
They brought the dragon to the police convoy and the purple dragon ended up with Akanoi.
"Now that it's done, we should-" Tasuku was interrupted when he heard the two thieves arguing inside.
"You were about to leave me behind!" Akanoi yelled.
"You just got beaten by a kid Akanoi! I am so regretting helping you stealing those jewels!" Dorcas replied viciously.
"You couldn't fight that dragon too!"
"I don't have wings!"
They both yelled at the same time, "I don't ever want to see you again! Starting now! Okay!" A few seconds of silence before, "Maybe in jail!"
"They look alike... A little," Tasuku commented before chuckling nervously.
Jackknife sighed and replied, "Case solved. Let's return to the Buddy headquarter and give the report."
Tasuku nodded.
It took them a while to return at the Headquater of the Buddy Police Force and the darkness was starting to claim the town. As they entered inside, by the front door, they didn't look at the green room painted in green, just like most of the place. The reception at the entrance was the same thing. Tasuku and Jackknife, in his chibi form, moved toward the room behind the brown reception desk when they heard,
"We are here now! Let go of my tail!"
They knew it was Drum and they turned around. They were surprised to see a green serpentine dragon with pink moustache with him.
"Hi Drum. Where's Gao?" Tasuku asked.
"He's home, finishing eating while this stupid dragon dragged me here before I eat my sweet pudding!" Drum yelled.
The serpentine dragon pulled the tail and lifted Drum, "Do not talk to an elder dragon with disrespect."
"Let my tail go Tenbu!" Drum ordered.
Tenbu obeyed and let Drum felt on his head. Drum stood up and grunted. Tenbu chuckled and said with a grin, "What? You wanted to be on the ground."
"Who is that?" Jackknife asked, noticing it wasn't a young dragon.
"I am Tenbu. Simply Tenbu, a descendant of the Original Dragons family."
Jackknife mouth was fully opened, "You are serious?"
Tenbu put his hand on his chest and replied, "I am serious. I am just a few millions of years old."
That also made Tasuku opened his mouth.
"Yeah. He's really that old," Drum commented.
Tenbu said, "Anyway. I came here for-"
It was then that Stella Waston walked in the reception room. She was a woman with peach skin, blond hair and blue eyes with glasses over them. She wore a gray skirt with a green and white shirt with a red hat on her head; "You are taki-" she was cut when Tenbu flew close to her.
"What a lovely woman we have here. I'm Tenbu, you're charming dragon," the serpentine dragon said with pink heart at the place of his eyes.
"Euh..." Stella replied, taken by surprised and couldn't say anything else.
"Ignore him. He did the same thing with- Hum!" Drum had his hand covered by Tenbu, who was in front of him in a split of a second.
"Oh Drum. You talk too much," Tenbu said with a smile toward Stella before giving a scary glared at Drum and then turning back toward Stella with a lovely smile as he released Drum's mouth.
Drum shook at his place and told himself, I just got a glare just like my dad can give me. That old dragon is creepy.
"I am losing myself in those lovely eyes," Tenbu continued.
Jackknife grunted and asked, "You were about to answer Tenbu. Why are you here?"
Tenbu came back to Earth and grunted, "Oh yeah. I am here to obtain a Visa for a permanent resident of the Earth. I was living here before that law was put it for like... 10 000 years."
Stella looked at the dragon and said nothing, "He's joking right?"
"Sadly not. He isn't lying," Jackknife replied.
"I cannot lie in front of a beautiful lady like you," Tenbu said with the heart returning on his eyes.
"W- I'll talk to The Commander. He's the one who take the decisions," Stella said before taking a few steps back and walked faster deeper in the building.
"Congratulations. You scared her," Drum said.
Tenbu lightly whipped Drum's face with his tail and replied, "Never put in the way of a dragon's heart when there's beautiful ladies around. A dragon can destroy you for that."
Drum gasped and realised how serious Tenbu was.
"Anyway. I have to give my report. Tell Gao that I'll see him at school tomorrow," Tasuku said.
"I will," Drum replied.
The two dragons were left alone.
"Did I hit you too hard?" Tenbu asked.
"No," Drum replied.
"Good... Drum," Tenbu said.
"What is it now?" Drum grumbled.
"I heard about this school for us. I think I'll join you as soon as I can," Tenbu said.
"Wait. I never told you that. How do you know?" Drum asked.
"I already told you, I have powerful ears," Tenbu replied.
They waited a few minutes with Drum a little creeped out with Tenbu saying that he could hear really well.
The door opened and Stella came back.
Tenbu flew toward her and said, "You can't resist my beauty right?"
"N-No. I came because The Commander agrees to give you the Visa, but warned you to cause no trouble at all. Also, a boy will ask some question to you."
Tenbu nodded and replied, "Good. Except for the last part."
