Tenchi cellphone started to ring. It happened just after Tsukikage disappeared. He looked at it and when he saw the number on it, he looked around and saw that he was alone. He locked the door and answered the call, "What is it Gara?"

"-I have some bad news. The subject suddenly disappeared from the laboratory.-"

Tenchi frowned and a hint of anger came in his voice as he ordered, "How did you let him escape?"

"-I didn't. I looked at him and he suddenly disappeared,-" Gara replied.

The man knew how it was possible, "That Zanya used a spellcard to teleport him to his location. I think they are intending to capture him and obtained information about you and I."

"-Then-"

"I'll deal with it," Tenchi said before hanging up. He then called someone else, "Seiichi."

"-Mushi Mushi. What is it Tenchi?-" he asked.

"I need you to arrest an assassin monster," he said.

"-Tsukikage? Ho-"

"There is no time. You have to arrest him and prevent him from telling them anything about us or everything will be over!"

"-I know where they are. I am not far from here,-" Seiichi replied before hanging up.

The man grunted, "We should have made sure that Zanya didn't have his deck. That's why his assassination was important," Seiichi better arrest him in time or those monsters will be free to invade the Earth.


Chapter 112: Imprisoned, But...

Meanwhile, at Zanya's home, Akatsuki talked with his big brother buddy about what he missed so far since he disappeared. Zanya wanted to ask question to his buddy, but didn't want to interrupt the reunion.

Tenbu crossed his arms and interrupted Akatsuki, "Tsukikage. We should move to a pressing matter right now."

The ninja looked at him and nodded. They started to hear the sound of a police car siren coming closer, but took no matter at it.

"Tsukikage. We know that someone kidnapped you and turned you into a killing machine," Gao realised that the ninja was a nanomachine, "No pun intended."

"Who kidnap you? We can trace him and make sure he doesn't do this again," Zanya asked, ready to find the responsible and clean his buddy name.

Tsukikage took out his scroll, but before he could answer, the police force with Takihara and Card Burn came and pointed their gun at them.

"Hands in the air Tsukikage!" one of the police man said while Takihara drew his spellcard and was ready to use it at any time.

The ninja raised his hands in the air and replied, "Nin."

"What's going on?" Gao wondered.

"They are here to arrest Tsukikage," Zanya replied. He walked toward the police force and yelled, "Wait! We can explain everything!"

Takihara heard that and said, "Let's listen to what they say first. They are members of the Buddy Police Force here."

The police forces seemed to be open mind enough to listen to Takihara when someone else said, "I don't think we have time for that."

Seiichi walked in the scene and looked at Takihara, "Even if we listen to what they have to say, they are just children. They are not mature enough to be easily trusted. Zanya wants to protect Tsukikage even if he tried to kill him before."

"What? That's not-" the boy was cut.

"Do not worry Zanya. If Tsukikage surrenders, we are not going to kill him. He has to be arrested for the crimes he committed against the humans. You know what that means right?" Seiichi asked.

Takihara said, "But Zanya is someone who takes his job seriously, even more than some adult in the Police Force I've seen before."

Seiichi turned toward the man, frowned before replying, "I am your superior Takihara. You're words do not hold strong value for me. I am the one in command."

Takihara frowned and wanted to reply, but couldn't. He looked at Zanya and the other kids with an apological gaze.

"Even so. A commander has to listen to his soldiers!" Halberd said.

"That's right-" Drum was cut by the man.

"What does dragons knows about humans?" Seiichi asked the dragons as he glared at them.

The dragons had many things to say when Tsukikage walked forward, hands still in the air, "Nin."

The polices pointing their guns toward him when Takihara yelled quickly, "Don't shot. He surrenders."

The police lowered their gun as Takihara put the hand-cuff on the ninja. Tsukikage turned into his SD form.

Meanwhile Zanya said, "Takihara. We have to ask Tsukikage something extremely important!"

"He will be interrogated in jail," Seiichi replied. He cut anyone from protesting, "Leave this to the adult. We will find out why he assassinates the victims and why he aimed you and your brother Zanya."

Gao yelled, "Wait! There is so much more we need to know!"

"Gao," Seiichi warned as he glared at the boy.

"It was because Tsukikage wanted to do-"

"I cannot accept your words Gao!" Seiichi replied loudly, "Another world and you will be in trouble for your insolence!"

Gao was about to say something else, but Tenbu said, "We understand."

Gao turned toward the green dragon who nodded his head negatively, telling Gao that it was only more troublesome to argue with Seiichi.

"Bring him," Seiichi ordered Takihara.

The man obeyed, but very reluctantly as he put Tsukikage in his car while Card Burn watched it quietly.

"Wait! You cannot bring him with you! He didn't do anything wrong!" Akatsuki yelled.

Zanya put his hand on his brother shoulder, but his expression was clearly one that said that he was furious.

Tsukikage was put to jail and no one said anything about it for a while. Eventually Zanya said, "Thank you for your help," The other's didn't know how to reply, but they saw the boy looking at them, "It's really enraging that Seiichi arrested Tsukikage, but I think there is an important reason for that."

Halberd said, "You think Seiichi knows something about what happened to Tsukikage."

Zanya didn't reply, but the way he was looking at the red dragon, meant that he was thinking about it that way.

"So he won't really interrogate him," Kuguru realised. She asked, "What's going to happen to him now?"

"He's going to be put on trial and then... I don't know," Zanya replied.

Everyone grunted as they lowered their head.

"Dammit! We saved Tsukikage and he is put in jail now!" Gao grunted out his frustration before punching his palm.

Zanya lightly smiled, "Gao. We still did something. We saved and freed Tsukikage."

"But-"

"That also means that we can suspect that Seechi is really making sure that Tenchi wins the elections, which also means..."

Ironchain continued, "That Tenchi is doing illegal things to become the Prime Minister Of Japan."

"Yes. We now know that we can take Tenchi down," Zanya concluded.

"If we can find out what he's planning. We can do something for Tsukikage and prove who controlled his mind and that Tenchi wanted him to murder those people," Kuguru said.

"Good thinking Zanya. Finding the positive in all this mess and thinking of a way to turn things around," Tenbu said. He then lightly smiled, "But I think other's already thought about it."

"What do you mean?" Drum asked.

Tenbu winked, "I saw a few things at the Buddy Police Force, that's all."

"Be specific!" Drum yelled as he couldn't take the suspense.

"No."

Drum grunted while Gao said, "Then we are still turning things around. We just need to find proof against Tenchi then save Tasuku and Kiri."


Later that day, Drum and Gao were in their chamber and were still thinking about it.

"With everything going on, what should we focus on?" Drum wondered out loud.

Gao was wondering about it too. He didn't immediately reply, but as he thought about what Tenbu said earlier, he started to see in what they should focus.

"Do you have an idea Gao?" he asked his buddy.

Gao turned toward his buddy and replied, "We have to save Kiri and Tasuku first. Whatever Azi Dahaka planned, it will be worse than what Tenchi is doing."

"Are you sure?" the red dragon asked uncertain.

The boy sighed, "Not really, but we don't know what Azi plan is, but we know what Tenchi is doing and how thanks to Zanya."

"Even so, how can we do it? The Buddy Police Force won't help with Seiichi there and putting things in our way. Even if we found out what Azi Dahaka is doing, Tenchi might use it against us and make sure that Hinako cannot win the elections."

"I'm sure that Takihara isn't going to let everything happen Seiichi ways. You saw how much he wasn't with Seiichi when they arrested Tsukikage and wanted to hear the true right?"

"Yeah, but he cannot force Seiichi to change his mind. And there's also that Shido guy with him. Is he helping him or not?" Drum asked.

Gao remembered that guy who had some similarity with Magoroku Shido whose buddy was Gallows, "I think so, since it was Tenchi who put him here."

"So we still have to focus on Tenchi and Seiichi," Drum concluded.

"Maybe..." Gao said. As he looked at the manga, he finally got an idea. After reading it a few times, something finally clicked, "Then we will have to do like the Real Sunfighter."

"Hum?" the dragon asked confused when he saw Gao having a small smile.


Meanwhile, back at the headquarter of the Buddy Police Force, Takihara wasn't in a good mood as he was escorting Tsukikage in prison.

"I'm sorry we have to do this, but those are our orders," Takihara said.

"Nin," Tsukikage replied, which Takihara and Card Burn didn't get at all.

"Are we just going to let things go that way? It's clear that there is something bigger going on. I am a monster from hero world and I will not tolerate to do things against the code of hero Takihara," Card Burn warned his buddy.

"I hate it too Card Burn, but for now, acting against him will be as if we are villains and not heroes," the man replied.

The buddy monster closed his optics for a few seconds and concluded that his buddy was right. It was simply that he was a hero from Hero world, but that the Earth might not see him as a hero even if he accomplished things in the code of hero.

Takihara looked at the concierge and noticed something similar, "Is he a new concierge? I never saw him before," he saw the concierge winced for a second before returning to his occupation, This haircut. It's familiar... But I cannot let that haircut make me thing of him.

Card Burn also looked at the concierge, "He is new. I never saw him before."

"Anyway, we should put you in jail Tsukikage," Takihara concluded.

"Nin," the ninja nodded.

They three weren't aware, but the concierge was none other than Commander I. The man gazed at them and frowned, "Things are going against Hinako. I have to get more serious in my investigation now."
