Gao closed his cellphone with a satisfied smile as he sat on his bed, "And done."

His buddy looked at him and asked, "Why did you call everyone? I know you said that we have to begin our stand against Azi, but how do you plan to do this without the Buddy Police Force?"

The boy turned toward his buddy and replied, "It's because we cannot act in the name of the Buddy Police Force that I called all my friends here. There is something we can do and I believe we can do it."

"What is it?" Drum asked curiously and feeling relief when he saw his friend smiling again.

"I found the answer in the manga my brother made for me before he passed away," he replied.

The red dragon replied, "That's not a very precise answer Gao."

"I'll explain everything this afternoon," the boy answered.

Drum was wondering what idea he got and if it would be good. He knew his buddy well and he wasn't the best thinker when it came to organizing anything like that. Despite that, the dragon clenched his little claws and was ready to give full support.

Chapter 114: Taking Action

Takihara walked in the corridor of the headquarter of the Buddy Police Force and sighed, "Things are getting difficult here. Really difficult."

His buddy replied, "Nothing we are doing feels heroic. I am a monster from Hero World and this is against my nature to let evil action passed like that because they don't have a buddy. Those two," the robot expressed his anger by punching his metallic hand.

"Hang in there Card Burn. I'm sure we will turn things around. If we can't, you are going to be sent away from Earth," Takihara said a little nervously as he thought of the possibility.

"This is just against the very nature of my world! I won't hold on for long!" his buddy replied.

Stella passed near them and asked with a sore mood, "How's it going?"

"It's getting difficult to handle Seiichi and Shido. What about you?" Takihara admitted.

"I tried to speak with Tsukikage, but I was forbidden," she replied with a hint of suspicion in her voice.

"It is suspicious. We should arrest those two," Card Burn said.

"We have no proof and no reason to even really try to do that," Stella nodded negatively.

Takihara sighed when he saw someone familiar again, "That concierge really makes me think of someone, but I can't pinpoint on it."

Stella and Card Burn followed his gazed and saw the concierge working, but turning his back on them as he slowly walked outside of their view.

"You're right," Stella replied. She scratched her forehead and whispered, "Could it be..."

"Who?" Takihara asked.

She looked at him and his buddy and put her finger on her lips before walking away.

"What's going on?" Takihara wondered.

Card Burn got the message and said, "Let's focus on our duty. That concierge is just familiar."

"Since when aren't you in a bad mood anymore?" Takihara asked as his buddy flew away. He sighed and followed him.

Meanwhile, Stella grabbed her cellphone before putting it back, "I'll call them later."

Gao and his buddy finished eating their lunch with the other dragons and the rest of the family.

"Pudding is always so good," Drum said with a large smile before taking his last one.

"Dad," Gao got his father attention, "Do you have any news about Jackknife?"

Takashi nodded with a small smile and replied, "He's getting better. He should be back on his feet in a day or two. He will be then free to leave the hospital."

"It could have been faster if we used the healing card," Hanako said.

Halberd replied, "The healing spells can only heal to a certain extend. We have to wait for his body to be fully healed."

"That's good," Gao replied to his father and to his sister and her buddy comments, "I'm glad he's out soon. Because we will be ready to search for Tasuku and rescue him."

"With Jackknife, I'm sure it will be easier to find Tasuku. They surely have a bond together," Drum said.

"Of course they have a strong bond, but that might not be enough if it had been wounded before Tasuku disappeared," Tenbu warned the red dragon as he played with his mustache.

"If a bond is wounded, it's not over. I'm sure Tasuku is worried for Jackknife and wants to see him again," Drum replied a little aggressively.

"That's not what I meant Drum. I know they both want to see each other's again, but the bond is a little weaker right now and I don't expect that it will easily bring them together once again," Tenbu replied as he put his hands on his flanks.

Drum nodded as he calmed down.

"Don't worry Drum. We will save him and Kiri," Gao said with a confident smile.

The red dragon nodded, showing a similar smile at his buddy.

"Now we just need to wait for the rest of my friends," Gao concluded, "Then we will be ready."

An hour later, the friends of Gao were slowly starting to come in. The first one to come was Kuguru with her buddies. After this, they had to wait for a while before anyone else came.

"How's it going with Cat Sith?" Drum asked as Ironchain and Cat Sith sat in the living room.

"He's annoying," Ironchain grumbled which the other picked up.

"And you're even more annoying and-"

"Enough you two," Kuguru said as she quickly calm them down.

Eventually Zanya and Akatsuki were next. The younger one was a little depress, still not over what happened to Tsukikage, but tried to be as strong as his brother who was determined. Zanya obviously made sure to be as far as he could from Kuguru since she was a girl and he was easily nervous around them.

After this, Baku and Axia came, which made Drum stood to a safe distance, but to no avail as he got the hug. Drum managed to escape and sat beside Halberd who sighed when he was used as a shield for that reason.

Tetsuya entered with his buddy Asmodai in their usual mood, which was an optimistic one.

"Hello everyone," the pink demon said as he waved at them.

They replied to his words.

"What's up yo? Gao called us for something important, but he didn't tell us anything yo," Testuya said.

He talked with the others and they couldn't tell him what was Gao reason for calling them there. They continued talking together and started to wonder when Gao would start explaining what he planned when the bell rang again.

Gao opened the door, "Hi there."

"Hello again Gao," the voice of a girl replied, which made Zanya even more nervous.

Kazane came in the house with her buddy Phoenix. The green bird looked at everyone and didn't like how they looked at her, "You better treat Kazane with respect or I'll make you regret it."

She nervously chuckled, "Don't mind him. He is a bit protective of me, but he's a good friend. I'm also glad you called for help. I'll gladly accept to help you at whatever you planned."

"Okay. Everyone is here," Gao said with a smile.

Everyone sat down and they turned toward Gao's now that they knew that no one else was going to show up.

"Why did you call us for?" Zanya asked, waiting for Gao to answer.

"I've been thinking a lot about what we could do with everything going on Zanya," he replied. He looked at everyone, "With the Buddy Police Force surely corrupted by Seichi, Tsukikage put in prison before he could tell who did it to him and Tasuku and Kiri are in trouble and needs our help. We cannot ask the Buddy Police Force because it will just give us more trouble."

"So. It's clear that you don't want us to wait for things to solve itself," Baku said pensively, while avoiding to look at Gao when he thought back about his cousin.

"What do you want us to do with everything going on yo?" Testuya asked.

"Yeah. We've been waiting for a while that you explain us," Drum grumbled, but still had a smile on his face as he guessed what Gao probably planned.

"It's clear that we have to do something or the buddy monsters will have to return to their world," Gao started as he looked at his friends. He smiled confidently as he clearly made up his mind, "What I'm suggesting is that we act together against Azi Dahaka without asking from the Buddy Police Force. I know it's not legal, but that's my idea."

"You want us to form a group like a group of hero?" Akatsuki asked with his eyes lightly shining.

"That's what you're thinking?" Kuguru asked. He nodded at her and she lightly smiled, "I think you're right. We cannot just sit here and do nothing or Tenchi will win the elections at this rate."

They all knew what that meant.

"That's why I want all of us to work together against Azi Dahaka," Gao said. Just like how the Sun Fighter of your manga acted outside of the Police Force to protect everyone big brother. He thought with a small smile.

"That's something I can agree yo," Tetsuya replied positively.

His friends also agreed, except Baku who was thoughtful.

"What is it Baku?" Kuguru asked.

"Nothing really. There are just a few things going on with my family right now," he admitted to her.

She didn't push him.

"I agree that acting outside of the Buddy Police Force is for the best," Zanya said, "This will also be the best way to find something to prove that Tsukikage never wanted to do any of this on purpose."

"And we will bring him back home," Akatsuki added.

"Is that all? Because I'm in," Kazane said.

"It might be dangerous Kazane," Phoenix warned her.

She replied, "I don't want to lose you Phoenix."

That touched Phoenix, but he didn't show it in front of the others and some who he considered impertinent kids.

"So, you want all of us to be the Sun Fighter?" Asmodai asked with a small smirk, "Because that means that you'll have competition Gao," Asmodai suddenly transformed his clothing and wore the same things as Gao.

The boy watched it as his face turned white and yelled, "No! The Sun Fighter is an individual and not a team!"

"Like everyone being Asmodai," Tenbu said with a small grin at the demon.

Zanya imagined that, "I do wonder if Asmodai wouldn't be able to endure himself."

"Probably," Ironchain replied.

"W-what?" Asmodai replied.

Kuguru grunted and put them back to the subject, "Do you have a name for the group we are forming?"

Gao sighed, "No. I just want to know if everyone is okay with my plan."

"Which they are," Drum said as he gave a thumb up to his buddy.

"The name is not important. What's important is what we are going to do next," Zanya said.

Gao nervously chuckled as he replied, "I'm not... sure."

Everyone sighed.

Halberd said, "Maybe we should start by finding out where Kyoya is living. I'm sure Azi Dahaka is also there."

"That's a good start, but what about Tsukikage and the Buddy Police Force?" Zanya asked.

"We cannot do anything against them," Baku said.

"Not now," Kuguru added.

"Let's focus on what we can do for now," Kazane said, "I'm sure we can find that."

"We also need to know what Azi Dahaka masterplan is," Drum added as he lightly paled, "And how to defeat him."

That made everyone nervous and didn't reply. The rest of the day passed as they planned on how searching for the location where Azi Dahaka lived and went their ways.
