It was the next day after Kiri parted away with Joker to his new town. After he was gone, Gao talked a lot with his friends and explained how he got his buddy skills. Everyone was really surprised, except Tenbu who seemed less than the others and Tasuku who knew it was a matter of time before his friend caught him.

Gao was still feeling bad for missing everything, but still find comfort because he managed to see Kiri one last time.

The next day Gao was eating his breakfast with Drum. The rest of his family was watching the news on television.

When Drum hunger was appeased, he smiled, "Pudding is the best."

"I'm sure it is," Gao replied. He then remembered something, "Oh yeah. What's with the books in my chamber? I don't remember bringing them here because I was in the hospital."

Drum gulped and his tail nervously bounced on the chair, "Well..." he scratched the back of his head, "Me and Hanako brought back your- Your homework you missed."

"W-"

Gao didn't have time to protest when Tenbu came in and declared, "I'll give you some tutoring on what you missed," he smiled.

Gao eyes shrunk, This is unfair, he thought while he yelled, "NO!"

Chapter 86: Justice Competition Part 1

Azi Dahara and Kyoya watched the city. The three headed dragon had a small grin on his face, but his eyes showed some worrisome and anger with the recent event and Tenchi sudden increase in his influence.

Kyoya turned toward Azi and said, "There is no reason for us to get worried over Tenchi. The elections didn't even start and everything is getting ready. We moved to the next phase and we are proactive now."

"I know, but this obstacle might be a major one," Azi replied, he gazed at Kyoya, "Other things might happen."

Kyoya asked, "I heard someone yelling yesterday. What happened?"

Azi Dahaka frowned and took a few seconds before replying, "Troubadour broke the Disaster Force of Gao by accident and Demios punished him in a way I will not tell you. That's another step down in our plan."

Kyoya grinned, "Maybe the situation can be turn to our advantage. I learned that the Buddy Police Force is currently under the watch of supervisors who are against your kind... and one of them is the father of Shido."

Azi nodded, "Then we need to take their fame and more."

"Come on Gao. You catch on pretty fast if I say so myself," the green dragon said as they walked toward school.

"I didn't have time to do anything yesterday and I'm now back to school!" Gao whined.

"You got a few days out Gao," the dragon replied.

"Lucky you," Drum grumbled with a small grin.

"Lucky? I wasn't conscious!" Gao yelled at his buddy before chasing him on the elevators.

Tenbu, Halberd and Hanako watched it. The dragon sighed while Gao sister smiled, "I'm so happy they are better."

The dragons nodded with a smile.

"Drum really missed Gao," Tenbu commented.

When school was over, Gao received a text message from Tasuku, "Gao. Come at the park after school. There is a few things I need to speak with you." He received another one before he could reply, "Something bad happened while you were unconscious."

"Sure. Is it about Halberd?" Gao asked.

"Yes. And what came after," Tasuku replied.

Gao frowned, wondering what happened that he wasn't aware off. He told his friends that he was going to meet Tasuku before heading home. Drum and Tenbu accompanied him as they both wondered what Tasuku wanted to talk about.

They walked in the park and searched around. Drum found him with his nose and noticed the boy and his buddy was isolated from the citizens in the park. They were sitting on the park and quietly talked together with all seriousness written on their face.

Gao wondered what happened and realised that his friend must have hidden his emotions yesterday when Kiri was leaving and he was back.

The three joined him and sat on the ground, except Tenbu who just levitated closed to the ground.

"You came with Tenbu," Jackknife commented.

"Of course. I am wondering what's going on myself," he let a few seconds of silence and precise, "Plus. The pretty ladies walks in the park after all," before chuckling as if he tried to lighten the mood.

The four others sighed, but the mood was lighten as the old dragon intended.

"Hi there," Gao said with a smile, "It's been a while since we were together."

His friend smiled and replied, "True, but I need to explain what's going on. Then we can catch up time."

"There is a lot in your heart young boy," Tenbu noticed before nodding so the boy can speak his thought.

Tasuku took a deep breath and said, "There's been some change with the Buddy Police Force. We have supervisors."

Gao heard Tasuku saying it as if it was something horrible to say, "It's something bad right?"

"Yes. They are going to control the Buddy Police Force and Commander I. If it was only that, those policemen hate anyone coming from other worlds. I cannot believe it happened because of the destruction caused by the Thunder Knights. If only we stopped them sooner," Tasuku added.

"That's bad," Gao commented.

"They are going to step in our way and make sure we are not able to protect people," Drum grunted as he raised his claws.

Jackknife sighed, "It's not only that Drum. There are a few other things that changes and will cause trouble."

"You were in trouble Gao, but I managed to convince them not to punish you. You just woke up after all and didn't know about it, so it was easy," Tasuku said.

"What was it?" Gao asked while Drum fulminated.

"You are forbidden to use your buddy skill," Tasuku answered. He was about to add something when Drum yelled.

"What! Gao just got it and why must we need the authorisation of them?"

Tenbu tapped Drum's back, "Calm down Drum. There is no need to get work up about it."

"Unless they give the authorisation," Tasuku added.

The red dragon yelled, "That's not helping!"

"Drum," Tenbu repeated.

"That's pretty much everything," the blue haired boy concluded.

Jackknife sighed loudly and whispered, "Not at all."

Drum heard him, "What do you mean? What's worst?"

Jackknife looked away when he realised they all looked at him, "N- There is something else going on."

"Jack," Tasuku whispered.

The green dragon lowered his head, "Okay. I'm telling you. When you were sleeping Tasuku, I watched the news and there is big stuff coming soon. You probably all know about it, but aren't aware of it."

"What is it?" Gao asked.

"You mean the election right?" Tasuku asked.

Jackknife nodded. He crossed his arms, "Yes. The elections are coming and we know that Hinako is presenting with the objective of easing the relationship with other worlds."

"That wonderful lady believes that every world can live in peace with one each other's. I'm sure she will be victorious with her beauty and her words. And I heard she's still single," Tenbu joyfully said with his eyes taking shape of pink hearts.

"Yeah. You think mostly about her beauty," Drum replied, not impressed.

Jackknife frowned, "Yeah. But with the Thunder Knights incident, there are some complications. We already know that Tenchi is presenting in the election to make sure we are kicked out of Japan and surely of this world, but I'm not even sure he'll stop at that. As I said, the Thunder Knights incident is giving him an advantage. The Buddy Police Force efficiently is one thing Hinako is strongly counting on to obtain power over Japan. If we failed our missions..."

"We are going to lose all of you," Tasuku finished.

The five were quiet and said nothing.

Drum yelled, "We are not going to let that happen! We can do everything and protect the citizens!"

"With the supervisors in the way?" Tasuku asked.

That made Drum lost his steam, "Y-yeah."

"What you mean is that Tenchi has a chance of winning the elections and ruling over Japan," the old dragon grumbled. He gasped and whined, "That means I won't see any beautiful lady," he turned toward Drum and yelled, "We can't let that happen!"

Drum turned toward Gao with a gaze that asked if he should correct Tenbu motivation or not.

"There will be consequence for the rest of the world. Remember that most monsters are in Japan and strongly around Tokyo. The simple choice of the Prime Minister and his decision can affect the entire world," Jackknife warned.

The four were pensive and silent until Gao said, "Even so. We will make sure Hinako win the elections. We will not let them force you to leave our world."

Tasuku smiled, "I will not let things return to what it was before and we will make a better world."

The dragons smiled at their resolution, hoping it will be enough.

Tetsuya and Asmodai were on the roof of a building and checked around.

"Do you see anything yo?" the boy asked as he looked around.

"I don't see anything. I am sure the criminal was around here with his buddy," Asmodai replied as he checked around.

The two were currently hunting down a criminal when they were warned by Stella. The criminal stole jewelry for more than ten million of yens in value. Since there was a buddy with him, the Buddy Police Forces were on the case.

"It could have been easier if I could use my power, but they said we have to wait for their authorisation," the pink demon grunted, not liking the supervisors at all.

"We'll just have to chill while searching for them the old fashion way yo," Tetsuya replied.

"That means less time to practice our move," Asmodai nodded.

That made the boy whined. The two searched around and wondered where they were.

"We know their face thanks to the picture taken by the camera," Tetsuya said as he checked the pictures. He looked at it and saw a man with peach skin, short brown hair and a short beard. He had brown eyes with the rest. He wore a black suit, but not a mask. As for the buddy, he wasn't on the picture.

"That's could be useful anywhere except here," Asmodai said as he pointed the very crowd street, hiding anyone they could be searching for.

"I know the expression... Before you say it yo," Tetsuya chuckled before searching around.

Asmodai chuckled and they continued searching. The demon jumped on the roof of another building with Tetsuya checked from where he was.

Asmodai then jumped and landed between humans and made them nervous, but he just winked at them while searching for the criminal.

Eventually, he brought Tetsuya and jumped to another roof and searched among the crowd. It was getting really frustrating as they searched around.

"We are going to lose him once and for all if we continue that way. There must be something we can do yo," Tetsuya said again.

Asmodai thought and grinned, "I have an idea," the demon intake and yelled, "I found you thief! Give back the jewels now!"

Testuya wondered what his plan was when he saw someone suddenly starting to run away.

"Only the guilty one would react. And I see a buddy, so it's not another thief who stole jewel at the same time!" Asmodai said.

"That's our guy yo!" Tetsuya said.

Asmodai picked his partner and jumped in the scene. They gave chasse to the criminal who passed between the citizens. Asmodai did the same and jumped over some of them, catching up with the criminal when they entered in the mall. They followed him and once inside, the lost sight of him again. They took seven seconds to be in the mall and it was enough for the criminal and his buddy to disappear.

"All of this for nothing," Tetsuya grumbled.

"They can't be far," Asmodai replied with a small smile, "It would have been easier for a dragon to find his stench or use my magic."

Tetsuya nodded and they continued searching for the criminal.

They weren't aware, but they weren't the only one searching for him. There was another human with his buddy looking around for the guy and his buddy.
