Baku took out his cellphone and sighed. He knew what he had to do and after the help of his buddy Axia, he got the guts to call his cousin back to give his reply. He remembered what they talked together and what his buddy also told him. He called his cousin and when he answered he said, "It's Baku."

"-Baku. You took a while to call me back,-" his cousin commented.

"Yeah. There was a lot to think about. What you are asking me would have hurt my friend you know," he replied.

"-… Of course. They are your friends for a long time after all and leaving them like that wasn't something you could easily do,-" his cousin replied.

"I have made my choice Retsu," Baku declared.

"-And what is that choice?-"

He took a deep breath and called everything he had to say what had to be said, "I will not join the disaster force. I cannot leave my friends behind after everything that happened and especially with everything I know about your actions."

"-I understand Baku. The only thing I'm going to tell you is not to stand in our way or you might get hurt,-" Retsu warned him.

Baku frowned, "Obviously," he then hang up, "But we are going to do everything to stop you. That's a promise."

Chapter 126: We Begin To Act

Kazane was checking on her cellphone if she got a few new messages while she waited near the entrance of Aibo Academy for Shido to come out. Her buddy wasn't by her side, but watching everything from the sky in his real form. She made sure that the Buddy Police Force wouldn't do anything or act too fast. If they were coming there, her plan to find where Azi Dahaka was residing would fail and Phoenix might be put in jail.

She took her time and waited outside of their view when they would come out. She knew that they still had time before the elections, but not about when Azi Dahaka plot would strike the Earth. She noticed Shido coming out alone and knew it was her chance today. She considered Sophia to be the main threat. She checked around the boy when she realised his buddy wasn't there. It wasn't long before he flew by the side of Shido and they went away. The boy walked away and she waited for the right time to follow him. She didn't want him to suspect that she was following him, so she waited to take an extra distance before starting to follow him, plus, her buddy was in the sky and surely following him now.

Meanwhile, Phoenix was watching the boy from the sky and often gazed at his buddy, checking if she was alright or was in any trouble. When he saws she was still hiding, he knew she was being extra cautious this time, The last thing I want you to do is be reckless. We cannot rush it with him alone.

When they took a turn towards the north part of the city, Phoenix knew that he was probably going to the location where Azi Dahaka was residing rather than his home since he wasn't living in those districts of Tokyo.

Kazane walked inside a building when she saw Gallows turning at her directions. She didn't want to be in trouble.

It continued for a while through the city. Kazane kept following him from a safe distance while Phoenix remained high in the sky. Her buddy was starting to grow nervous as it dragged for a while.

Gao was waiting for Drum to come back. His father wanted to speak with Drum alone, so the boy waited for the red dragon to come back. He wondered if Drum was getting himself in trouble, but doubt about it. He remembered what he heard during the ceremony and guessed it had something to do with it, Drum mother was an Original dragon. I guess he wants answers now. I wonder if Drum has any special power ready to awaken coming from her. He asked himself what it could be, but without any answer, it was pretty much pointless to ask about it. Despite that, he got time by himself to ask those useless questions. It came to an end when he heard a dragon grunting. He turned around and saw the same gray dragon from earlier cleaning the floor. He remembered that his name was Batzz.

"Those damn bastards! Asking me to clean after they trashed it, immediately after we already cleaned it!" Batzz furiously yelled as electricity sparkled around him.

The dragon was about to continue his rant when another dragon working with him said, "Calm down Batzz. We have to finish cleaning right now or we'll be in trouble with Fang Slade Terrestrial The XIII."

"I am not afraid of him!" Batzz yelled back, but did started to clean the ground. He continued grunting when he noticed Gao. He observed the boy and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Gao stopped looking at the gray dragon and replied, "Nothing."

The gray dragon frowned, knowing that he was obviously looking at him. He observed the boy a little more and grunted, "So you are what they called human from Earth?"

The other dragons with him also gazed at the boy curiously. They never saw a human before and often the other dragons talked about it. Gao grew a little nervous and noticed that Batzz wasn't changing his mood from angry to curious or anything else.

"Why is one of your kind here of all places in Dragon World?" Batzz wondered.

"Keep cleaning this place up!" a higher rank dragon yelled at them.

Batzz grunted and continued his work while grunted, "One day. You will be the one who clean the ground instead of me."

It was then that Drum came back alone. His tail was on the ground as he looked uncertain, as if he didn't know how he should feel.

The gray dragon gave one last check at the boy and saw him walking away with Drum, "That's his buddy," he whispered. He planned nothing against them, knowing what would happen with already two dragons sent to exile on Earth. He didn't want to be the next one when he wanted to rule Dragon World one day.

Gao asked, "Did something happen Drum?"

The red dragon gazed at him. He didn't give an answer, but his lips were moving. He hesitated to give a reply and scratched the back of his head. He closed his eyes and lightly grunted in frustration, "I'm not even sure myself. I asked something to dad and give me half an answer, plus, I don't want to tell you right now," he crossed his arms and stood there for a few seconds, "I just don't know how to… process all he told me. I'll tell you everything when I'm ready."

Gao nodded and replied, "Don't worry. I'm really curious about it, but I can way. I was actually afraid there was something bad with how you looked."

"There is nothing bad… I just learned so many things I never knew about my mom," the red dragon replied. He sighed once again. He gazed at his buddy and asked, "Do you want to see something before we return to Earth? I don't want Suzumi to get angry at me."

"True. She can beat you," Gao whispered.

"She was only lucky and it was long ago Gao!" he grunted at his buddy, before lightly chuckling.

The two observed Dragon World for a minute or two. Gao was wondered if it was best to return home sooner than later. He turned toward his buddy and replied, "I don't want mom to be angry and caused you trouble. We should return now."

The red dragon replied, "Thank you. I was afraid you wanted to see everything."

"Maybe another time," the boy replied.

"Sure hope so," he replied.

They returned to Earth afterwards.

Kyoya closed the television after checking the news and found nothing interesting. He grumbled at one thing that picked some interest. It was that Tenchi was still in the lead in the elections. He crossed his fingers together and whispered, "It's time to find a way to get rid of him. He is getting really dangerous."

Someone knocked at the door. The boy smiled and said, "You can enter."

Rouga entered in the room and said, "Me and my buddy are ready for the mission."

"That's good. Tenchi is still in the lead and doesn't show any sign of going down. Hinako is still dropping in the election pool and so is our candidate. We have to turn this around now."

Rouga nodded and waited for Kyoya to continue.

"With everything I suspect Tenchi did, you need to find some proof of his crimes so we can take him out," he told him.

Rouga emitted an objection, "But would the police do anything with the proof?"

"They better, or we will have to publicly release it," he replied to the boy.

Rouga nodded, "I believe we cannot afford to be spotted, right?"

"Do not worry about it. You are going there with Sophia. She knows better how to handle this part of the situation. You will have to guide her there," Kyoya explained.

"How can she keep up with me?" Rouga asked.

"That won't be a problem. You will have a spellcard to use so Sophia can enter in the room where the main computer must be in," Kyoya explained.

Rouga was about to go outside and began the mission when he asked, "How did you find out about this computer?"

"I own a company, I have many ways to find it out, but to discreetly obtain it, we must go directly to it and avoid using long distance to pass by the server," he answered.

"I'll go right now," Rouga replied before walking outside the room.

Kazane continued following Shido from a safe distance and stopped when the boy stopped. They were almost outside of the city and observed their surrounding. It was someplace isolated from the rest of the city. In front of it, there was a gate leading towards a large manor inside. Knowing about Kyoya's background, it might be the right place. She waited and wondered if Shido was simply stopping in front of it, or going inside.

The gate opened and the boy and his buddy went inside. They walked on the road leading to the mansion.

Kazane knew it was possibly the right place where Azi Dahaka was residing right now. She walked away and when they were far away, deep in the city, her buddy came back and flew by her side in his SD form.

"I think this is it," she said with a victorious smile.

"You are right lady Kazane. We found the location of the enemy," Phoenix replied.

Kazane took out her phone and sent a quick message, "Now that we know where they are, it's only a matter of time before we fight them," as she finished her sentence, she was getting a little nervous.

"We will have to fight them without hesitation this time Kazane," her buddy told her.

She remembered what Reaper told her and took a deep breath, "Yeah."
