Chapter 4: Tutorial Lesson
At morning, at Daisuke's apartment. He went down to check on his mail as he saw a letter, "Hello? What's this?" He took it out as he saw his address as he opened it. He read it as he was surprised.
"She's coming tomorrow?"
"Who is?" Ryuuga asked as he came out of the deck.
"You know who." Daisuke said for the obvious fact.
"Oh!" Ryuuga noticed, "Should we let Gao and the others?" He asked.
"I suppose that it'll be okay since they'll be at the CASTLE."
"What are they doing over there exactly?"
"Idiot, they've having another event over there for the kids. We should go and help them. Come on."
"Right!" Ryuuga said as he went back into the deck.
At the CASTLE...
"Alright! I opened a Blue Dragon Shield!" A kid said as he opened the Buddy pack.
"That's awesome! Those are hard to find!" The second kid said.
"So what?" The kid with glasses said, "It's not like it's a super rare." He said as he opened up his pack.
"Okay, so what did you get then, huh?" He asked.
"I don't know. I'm not really sure."
"It's okay. We all have to start somewhere. Just read the cards and tell us what they say." The second kid advised.
"I know what I play. I just never opened cards before!"
"Let me just take a look of one!" The second kid took the glasses kid's card as he looked at it, "What?! No way!"
"Come on! Unreal! Beginner's luck!" The first kid said as he was surprised of seeing it.
"Uh... you mean? I drew a good card?" He asked.
"Good?! It's the same one as Gao's Buddy!"
"You're not in this special Buddyfight class but if you and Gao do a Homeroom together, you must've heard about Drum by now!" The second kid said as he shows Crimson Battler, Drum Bunker Dragon.
"That's the great card! Seriously!" The first kid said as the kid with glasses got it back.
"Same card as Gao's buddy. Excellent." He whispered.
At the hidden cave...
"How long do you expect me to wait?! Huh?!" Ikazuchi asked, impatiently to Shido, who is kneeling on the ground.
"I'm sorry but the last failure wasn't my fault, Master." Shido explained as he turned to Sofia, "Sofia and Gallows over there are the ones that lost to Gao Mikado this time." Then Ikazuchi ate the meat, "So if you want to punish someone, punish them!"
"Enough!" Ikazuchi yelled as he toss his bone on Shido.
"I'm sorry! Please don't hurt me!" He kneel down for forgiveness. Then Gallows laughed.
"I'm growing tired of your sniveling excuses! This is your last chance to redeem yourself!" He said as he toss the Hundred Demon card to awake, "Awaken! Power of Darkness! Power of Evil! Power of the Hundred Demons!" It revealed a girl spirit with green long hair with pale skin, wearing a japanese yukata with 6 green flames around her.
"Pleased to meet you. My name's Kalavinka Uguisukomachi." She introduced herself as Shido looked up.
"This Hundred Demon doesn't look nearly as strong as the last two." Shido complained as Ikazuchi charged his lightning in his hand.
"Use this monster to bring Tenbu to me so I can devour it!" Ikazuchi ordered.
"Yes! As you wish, Master!" He said nervously.
"Well? What are you waiting for?! Begone!"
At the Buddy Police HQ...
"You're joking?!" Count Dawn asked, "That is a long time without a day off! It's very troubling. No matter how busy officers are need sufficient rest, your superiors sounds incompetent. With people like this running things, the Buddy Police's future looks very talking indeed." He said to Commander I as he grunted.
"Gao!" He said to Gao as he got his attention, "Go take 3 days off. We can manage things here." He recommended as he glared at Dawn.
"Are you sure?" Stella asked.
"Sometimes, resting your body is an important mission too." He laughed.
"You heard him. Now, you should get going. It's time for you to keep it for a change." Count Dawn.
"Right." Gao said as he and Drum left.
Then Daisuke and Ryuuga came by as he saw Gao and Drum leaving.
"Where's Gao going?" Daisuke asked.
"We gave him the day off." Count Dawn said.
"I didn't expect to you to come, Daisuke. I thought you had the day off too." Commander I recalled.
"Just wanted to tell Gao about the news."
"What news?" Stella asked.
"My little sister is coming to visit again."
At the shopping district...
"Now what do we do?" Gao said as he was bored now, "I'm not used to have for getting free time."
"After grabbing some zan, why don't we check out the Buddy Fest?" Drum recommended.
"Oh, is that today?" Gao forgot.
At the CASTLE for the Buddy Fest event. Many kids are exciting for the event.
"Hey kids! Thanks for coming! Are you pumped up?!" Paruko announced as she was on the stand for the event as the children cheered, "Our next event is for all of you Buddyfight newbies out there! If you ever wanted to know how to play, well now's your chance to learn from a bondifide pro! Your wildest dreams of becoming a Buddyfighter can come true! Learn the ropes while participating in a real Buddyfight!" She announced as every kids are excited for this, including Hanako. The kid with glasses doesn't seem to be excited as he looked at the rare card he got.
"It's exactly what I always wanted." He said.
Outside of the CASTLE, Gao and Drum made it to the event.
"This place is jam packed! Wow!" Gao was amazed.
"Okay! So all of you who would want your chance to play, raise your hand!" Paruko announced.
"What is this I'm hearing?" Tenbu asked as he came out, "Buddyfighting takes times to perfect. It's a skills!"
"What do you think you're doing, Gramps?" Gao asked, "You can't just pop out whenever you want."
"Oh sorry. I forgot." Tenbu apologized as he want back into the card. But what Gao doesn't noticed is that Shido was behind the statue, watching them.
"That's the Lord Tenbu card right under my nose!" Shido said.
"We should take advantage of this unexpected opportunity." Kalavinka recommend while in her card.
"You're not the one in charge here!" He complained.
Then Paruko noticed something, "Hang on! I think we have a celebrity with us here today! Don't look now but it's the famous Buddy Police Trainee, Gao Mikado!" Paruko announced as she saw and pointed at Gao. Because of that, many kids are around their favorite hero.
"Gao! It's me, Hana! Hey!" She said to call her brother and waved.
"This is awesome, dude! Would you, you know? Help us trains some of these guys?" The Store Manage requested.
"Um... I don't know." Gao said.
"Sure he would!" Drum said.
"What are you doing?" He whispered to Drum.
"It will be the good time. Besides, what else you got going on?" Drum asked.
"Yeah, you're right. Okay then, I'm in! So what do I do?"
"Wow! Who would like to challenge the CASTLE's Store Manager?! Gao's agreeing to be in your corner for a hands on Buddyfight training match!" Paruko announced.
"Hey. Go for it!" The first kid said to the kid with glasses, "You'll never get another chance like this, Tatsudo!"
"Uh! I can look at the rules on my own if I want to. Thanks." Tatsudo said.
"Aw, come on. You can use your new Crimson Battler, Drum!" The second kid recommended.
Hana was surprised as she looked, "What?! No way!"
"Yeah. So what? Who are you? Why do you care?" He asked.
"Hey, Gao! You'll never guess! This guy beside me has the Crimson Battler, Drum card!" She yelled as it caught his attention.
"Cool! Hey, Tatsudo!" Gao greeted.
"Oh, hey there, Gao. How are you?"
"We found our challenger!" Paruko announced as they set the battle for the Store Manager against Tatsudo.
"I won't be much of a challenge." Tatsudo said.
"You'll be just fine." Gao said.
"We both start out with 10 life points will do." The Store Manager explained.
"Okay, let's get started already!" Paruko announced as Tatsudo became nervous.
"Huh? But I haven't had a chance to learn the rules yet, mam." He said.
"Relax! Don't worry about it!" Gao advised, "It's way easier to learn the rules when you're playing anyway."
"Okay, everyone! Say it with me now! Buddyfight!"
"Time to Raise the Flag!" The Store Manager said as he flip the card, "I'm fighting for Hero World!"
"Uh... What do I do now?" Tetsudo asked.
"Flip this." Gao said as he demonstrated, "We're fighting for Dragon World!"
(T: 10/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/None)
(S: 10/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/None)
"Normally, we place our Buddy cards right here but since this is a training game, we won't be using Buddies today." The Store Manager recommended.
"Why don't we play Rock-Paper-Scissor to see who goes first?" Gao recommended, "Rock. Paper..."
"Scissors!" Tatsudo chose scissors as the Store Manager chose paper.
"Scissors cuts paper! That means we can go first!" Gao said.
"To start, choose any monster you like to play from the cards in your hand." He explained as Tatsudo chose a card.
"How about this one?" He showed Crimson Battler, Hammer Ball Dragon.
"That's the Hammer Ball Dragon. Awesome choice! So where do you wanna put him?" Gao asked.
"Right in the center."
"This guy has the critical of 2. Which means he'll do 2 damage to your opponent!" Gao explained.
"Ah ha. Covering your center, huh? Pretty good strategy, dude." Store Manager complimented.
"Now, just turn the card sideways and then announce your attack!" Gao explained.
"Okay." He turned it sideways, "I used Hammer Ball Dragon to attack CASTLE Store Manger." He said as Store Manager pretended to feel the damage.
"Oh no! You just took 2 of my life points!" He lost 2 life points.
"The player who goes first can only attack once. At the end of each turn, we say 'End of Move'. " Gao explained.
(T: 10/ Item: None/ G: 3: None/Hammer Ball/None)
(S: 8/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/None)
"Cool. That makes it my go! Now, to begin each turn, we draw a card. That means I take a card that's on top of deck and then added the cards in my hand. After that, I take one card that I don't need and added it to my gauge. This lets me draw from my deck again. You can do this during your first turn too. And we call, 'Charge and Draw'."
"Okay, but what's gauge exactly?" Tatsudo asked.
"When you play stronger card, you gotta pay cost and use the gauge as payments." Gao said.
"Here I go! I call Rescue Dragon, Cross Buster to the right position! And then I call Cyber Police, Hyper Rescue to the center area!" He called out a red robot that is like the Assault Leader but with no rifle, he used his blades with the circles on the sides for speed attacks.
"He called two at once!" Tatsudo was surprised.
"Yeah, you see monsters have different sizes. If the total they add up to is 3 or less, you can call as many as you like!" Gao said.
"And even if you have a size 3 monster out in the field, you're allowed to call size 0 monster." Paruko announced.
"Now, attack!"
"His monsters has critical of 3 and 1. Which means I'll be losing 4 damage." Tatsudo assumed.
"Nah, don't you forget. On your first turn, you put a monster in the center, right?" Gao recalled, "So as long as he stays there, you won't receive any damage. He'll protect you." It shows a Dragon with spiky hair, wearing an armor with shoulder armor on his right shoulder, he carries a Hammer Ball in his left hand and the face of the dragon on him.
"That's right, Gao! Which is why I'm gonna use my Hyper Rescue to attack your Hammer Ball Dragon!" Store Manager laughed as he had turned the card sideways as Hammer Ball was destroyed.
"Oh no! What do I do now?" He asked.
"When monsters fight each other, you gonna check out their power and defense stats. Cause if your monster's defense is lower than your opponent's monster's power, your monster will be destroyed." Gao explained.
"Now that there's no one protecting you, my attacks will reach you directly! Za-zing! I'm gonna use Cross Buster to attack the fighter!" He turned the card sideways.
"With no monster in the center, Tatsudo receives 3 damage!" Paruko annouced as Takosuke changed the life points to 7.
"Takochu!"
"And with that, it's 'End of Move.'"
(T: 7/ Item: None/ G: 3: None/None/None)
(S: 8/ Item: None/ G: 3: None/None/None)
"Your turn, Tatsudo."
"Draw. And I Charge and Draw." He drew as Gao was amazed.
"Whoa. Assail Sword, Dragoraptor!" Gao saw a green sword that looks like a blade with green scales like the raptor.
"But it's not a monster so what do I do with it?" Tatsudo asked.
"It's an item card. Which means that you yourself can fight." Gao explained as it surprised Tatsudo.
"You're expecting me to fight him in my very first game?!"
"Sure! Just pay two gauge and put the card right here!" Gao demonstrated as he showed Tatsudo to place the item card on the flag.
"Okay! I equip Assail Sword, Dragoraptor!"
"And Items aren't limited by size so you can call another monster!"
"Then I call 3 size one monsters!" Tatsudo placed all the size 1 monsters on all of the areas.
"Hang on, man!" Gao said as Tatsudo was confused, "If you do that, you can't use the Dragoraptor you just equipped. Cause when you got a monster in the center position, you aren't able to attack. Kinda blocking you in. Think about it, you don't wanna attack your own monster in the back, do ya?" Gao asked.
"Then I'll leave the center open! And call Hammer Ball Dragon to the right and I call Starting Dragon to the left position!" Tatsudo changed his strategy.
"Hey! You just set up the Gao Formation!" Gao recognized his own formation.
"I did? What's that?" He aked.
"Why don't we leave for another time?"
Store Manager laughed, "It looks good but you won't be able to break through my center. Don't forget my Hyper Rescue has 6000 defense."
"Hammer Ball has 5000 power, Starting and Dragoraptor have 4000 each. It's impossible." Tatsudo said, disappointingly.
"There's always a Link Attack!" Gao advised.
"You'll have to explain that."
"if you make two attacks at the same time. You can unite their power together!" Gao demonstrated, "How much you get if you add up Hammer Ball and Starting combine power?"
"9000 power! Then we can defeat Hyper Rescue!" Tatsudo said as the Store Manager cried.
"Hyper Rescue's been destroyed!"
"Now I'll attack Store Manager with Dragoraptor! Take that!" He turned it sideways as the Store Manager groaned.
"That's 3 more damage to the CASTLE Store Manager! For the first timer, Tatsudo's running the show!" Paruko announced as Store Manager lose 3 life points but what Paruko doesn't noticed is that Hundred Demon card was placed on her back.
"I'll get Uguisukomachi to possess Paruko and steal Tenbu." Shido said as Paruko is now possessed.
"I understand." She said as Gao and Tatsudo were confused of what she's saying.
Then Daisuke and Ryuuga came by as they made it to the CASTLE. Daisuke saw the kids.
"Oh wow, the Buddy Fest has already started." Daisuke said.
"You didn't know?" Ryuuga asked.
"I was busy." Then he saw Gao with Tatsudo, Store Manager and Paruko at the stand, "Well. Well. Looks like Gao is the special guest star for this event."
"Hey. Look at Paruko." Ryuuga noticed something odd about her, "She's acting strange all of the sudden. Do you know something?" It made Daisuke anxious.
"We better go check." Daisuke said as he looked at the crowd, "As soon as we get through the audience."
Paruko walks and she sits on the table.
"Are you okay?" The Store Manager asked.
"Takochu?" Takosuke asked.
"Is this part of the game?" Tatsudo asked.
"I'm feeling better than ever actually. I just thought our young friend here could use a breather. Chirp chirp." She said as Tenbu came out.
"Something is quite different about you. But for the life of me, I just can't pull my claw on it." Tenbu said.
"Give me a break! You can't just keep popping out like this!" Gao said.
"Right. With all my memories." He said as he turned back into a card.
"Since we're taking a little break. Can I look at that Tenbu card of yours?" She requested.
"You're a Hundred Demon!" Gao figured it out.
"What's that?" Tatsudo asked as Paruko was nervous.
"No! I'm not a Hundred Demon! Chirp!"
"Paruko would never do that. Put down a microphone during a fight, trying to look as someone's cards." Gao deduced a theory.
Daisuke came through the crowd as he heard, "So she is possessed by the Hundred Demon."
"Hey, Daisuke." Ryuuga said as Daisuke saw him getting crowded by kids, "A little help?"
Daisuke looked as he turned, "You're on your own."
"Hey!" He yelled angrily.
"Why you-! You leave me no choice! I'll have to take it by force! Secret Arts: Uguisukomachi Valve Crossing!" She said as she create an barrier as the kids ran away.
"Ryuuga! Return quick!" Daisuke said as he saw him, getting dragged away.
"Right!" Ryuuga returns to Daisuke's deck.
"Oh, what am I gonna do now?" Shido asked as his plan is ruined as he pulled out the skull, "My best chance is to put up a Darkness Barrier!"
"Everyone, please! Quickly evacuate the store!" The Store Manager said as Shido toss the Skull which activated the Darkness, shrouding them in sight.
"Now, hand over that Tenbu card or else!" Paruko said as the barrier enshrouded them.
"Gao!" Daisuke runs as the barrier enshrouded him.
They were now transported into the Darkness Barrier as they were inside the stage, Gao, Takosuke and Tatsudo were on stage as Daisuke was in the center of the stage.
"Daisuke! What are you doing here?" Gao asked.
"I wanted to see if you're here but then I saw what just happened so I have to help. But it looks like I got myself in this mess."
"Isn't that the former member of Disaster?" Tatsudo asked.
"Yeah, but he's on our side now!"
"If you ever hope to lead the confides of the Darkness Barrier, you must defeat me! Chirp!" Paruko announced as she ascended up stage, "The most beautiful Skull Warrior among the Hundred Demons!" She said as Kalavinka slowly appeared behind her as she moved beside her, "Kalavinka Uguisukomachi!"
"Oh. Why I think I heard about her." Tenbu said as he has fallen to Kalavinka, "The most beautiful monster there is."
"Easy, gramps. I hate to break it to you, but that's actually a guy." Gao said.
"Yeah. I figure that too." Daisuke said.
"Whoa?!" Tenbu was surprised.
"That's true. They say only the male who;s species makes that distinctive bird call." Tatsudo explained as it made Kalavinka angry.
"How dare you revealed my dark secret?!" He complained, "I'm going to annihilate you for now!"
"Above all, monsters must have honor and be truthful. Even evil one!" Tenbu advised.
"I guess you shouldn't hurt their feelings even with a guy's feelings as a girl." Daisuke said.
"Then that's it! I'm fighting with you!" Tenbu said to Gao, "We will use your Dragon World, Crimson Dragon Fist!"
"Alright! Daisuke! You better go and head to the pit!" Gao recommended as Daisuke nodded and walks to the Skull Pit, " Burning like an Inferno! With limitless spirit! Luminize! Crimson Dragon Fist!"
"Ravenous fiends walking a wicked path! Witness their awesome power! Luminize! Hundred Ancient Katana Warriors!"
"Takochu!" Takosuke's way of saying 'Buddyfight!'.
"Time to Raise the Flag!"
"I fight for Dragon World!"
"We're with Katana World, chirp!"
(G: 10/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/None)
(P: 10/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/None)
"Katana World, huh? Not Paruko's usual deck?" Drum asked.
"I think it might be the Hundred Demon's own deck." Gao assumed.
"Anyone wanna tell me what's going on?" Tatsudo asked as he was confused of what's happening.
"Sorry you got dragged into this, man." Gao apologized, "I don't really know what's going on either. But it's clear I gotta win and wanna go home."
"Well, I'll just stand over here and cheer you on!" Tatsudo recommended.
"Thanks, I might need it. Kay, hurry this up! We wanna get back to CASTLE!"
"If you think you can beat me, you're 100 years too soon!" Paruko said.
At the Skull Pit. Daisuke came as he watches the match.
"Yeesh, get the match started already, some people aren't getting any younger here." Daisuke said. Shido was hiding while Daisuke is distracted.
"Oh, what a bad time for him to arrive. But I must say, it's much more relaxing to be watching it from the Skull Pit." Shido said quietly.
"Charge and Draw! I call Crimson Battler, Guns Knuckle Dragon to the center!" Gao called out a dragon, like the others, he wears the armor, but he has long yellow hair, he has a gauntlet on his right arm but not another on his left, "Attack the fighter!"
"Chirp! Chirp!" They chirped as they were inflicted with 2 damage.
End of Move
(G: 10/ Item: None/ G: 3: None/Guns Knuckle/None)
(P: 8/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/None)
"So this is a Buddyfight." Tatsudo was amazed after seeing the first Buddyfight for real.
Your Move
"Draw! Charge and Draw! I call Blood Knife, Kimensai to the left! And Sea-splitting Irukamaru to the center, chirp!" She called out two monsters.
"And now I Buddycall myself to the right! Regaining one life point!" Paruko and Kalavinka both said as he goes to the right and Paruko regains one life.
"Takochu!" Takosuke pulled out his Takoscope to analyze Kalavinka.
"You don't need the Takoscope, I'll tell you about it myself!" Paruko announced as she demonstrated as himself, "I'm a Size 1 monster with 3000 power, 5000 defense, and a critical of 1! And my ability is elegant Double Attack!"
"And you're actually a dude!" Drum said.
"You talked too much!" Both said angrily.
"Kimensai! Destroy Mr. Knuckles in the center!" Paruko ordered as Kimensai attacked Knuckles with his sword and sliced it in half. Then Kimensai attacked with his Penetrate as he inflicted 2 damage. Then Irukamaru and Kalavinka joined to perform a Link Attack.
"Take this! Chirp! Flaming Arrow Bush Fire Blitz!" They inflicted 3 damage together, "I'm not done yet! Say goodbye to one life point!" Kalavinka attacked and inflicted one damage at Gao, inflicting one damage.
End of Move
(G: 4/ Item: None/ G: 3: None/None/None)
(P: 9/ Item: None/ G: 1: Kimensai/Irukamaru/Kalavinka)
At the Skull Pit...
"This is bad, Gao's down to 4 life points. I hope Gao have Tenbu in his next draw for this." Daisuke said.
"Thanks to my Double Attack, your Life Points have been cut down to half! Chirp! On my next turn, I'll end this battle!" Paruko said as she laughed and chirped. Gao growled in frustration.
"She's making my dragon blood boil! When I'm called, I'll sweep you oblivion with my Howling Fire!" Tenbu said, explaining his strategy while on Gao's deck.
"That Uguisukomachi's actually not half bad!" Shido whispered as he admit then Gallows came out.
"Maybe for once, you'll get right, sh-sh-sheee!" Gallows said as Shido covered his mouth.
"Quiet! Do you want him to notice us?" Shido said as Daisuke heard as he turned around. He looked as he sees nothing.
"Hmph. Must been my imagination." He turned back to continue watching the match as Shido and Gallows sighed in relief.
"Anyways Master Ikazuchi will be so happy, he won't zap me this time."
"Well you didn't actually do anything, did you? Kasha." Gallows said.
"Zip your bony lips, my unknowing success counts as my success."
Later, Gao set up his Gao Formation.
"Time for the Gao Formation!" Gao called out Guns Knuckle and Nail Dragon and equipping Crimson Fist.
"Isn't that?" Tatsudo heard of that.
"Yep, better start taking notes, kid." Drum said as Knuckle knocked out Irukamaru off and destroyed him. Then attacked Paruko with Penetrate, inflicting 2 damage.
"Crimson Fist..." Gao's about to attack.
"Cast! Demon Way, Oborogenbu!" She nullified Gao's attack.
"Dang!"
"Your attack's been neutralized."
"Yeah?! Then I'll get Spin Nail to attack the right!" Gao recommended as Spin Nail attacks Kalavinka.
"I must fly away for now!" He said as he was destroyed.
End of Move
(G: 4/ Item: Dragoblaze/ G: 3: Spin Nail/None/Knuckles)
(P: 7/ Item: None/ G: 1: Kimensai/None/None)
"Gao figure out early. His game isn't just about power, it's about staying positive even if things look hopeless. Gao always keeps battling until he figures out a way to win." Drum explained.
"Set Spell: Return to the Underworld!" She set, "And I choose to activate it now and call myself to the center, chirp!" She paid one gauge as she calls back Kalavinka to the center.
"As a Size 1 Skull Warrior, I can use this spell to resurrect myself!"
"I call Tempest Garo-Ho to the right! And I activate his ability!' She paid her gauge as she activated his ability, "Go take a bite out of the fighter!" She said as Garo-ho attacks.
"I cast Green Dragon Shield!" Gao cast as he regained one life.
"No problem! Garo-ho! Again!" Then Garo-ho attacked again as he inflicted 2 damage.
"Gao!" Tenbu yelled while he was inside the deck, "Isn't it my turn to fight yet?" He asked.
"I'll engulf those monsters and peck them out for good! Like a Katana Candle, light them up on both ends!" He burns away Gun Knuckle and Spin Nail as they were destroyed.
End of Move
(G: 3/ Item: Dragoblaze/ G: 3: None/None/None)
(P: 7/ Item: None/ G: 0: None/Kalavinka/None)
"All Gao's monsters been destroyed!" Tatsudo said.
"Stay calm, kid. This is where the fight gets real!" Drum said.
"Now, who's the teacher, huh?" Gao asked as he pull the switch as his Core Gadget turned sideways, "Let's do this, partner!"
"What am I? Chop liver?" Tenbu asked.
"I Draw! Charge and Draw! Time to send this bird back to the nest! I Buddycall Crimson Battler, Drum Bunker Dragon to the right!" Gao called as he regained one life.
"Engulfing the body with red hot flames! Carving out a new path with my own two fist! Crimson Battler, Drum Bunker Dragon is reporting for duty!"
"Why did he call him to the right?" Tatsudo asked, "Gao only has 4 life points. Shouldn't he called to the center to protect them?" He looked at his deck with the same card as Gao's buddy, "I mean he can be defeated in Uguisukomachi's next turn."
"DRILL RAM BREAK!" Drum punched Kalavinka and he defeated him, "And a side order of Penetrate!" He kicked as he inflicted 3 damage.
At the Skull Pit...
"Awesome! She's tied with Gao now." Daisuke said.
"They both have 4 life points and no monsters in the center position." Gallows said.
"Wait, that means..." Shido figured something coming up next, "Oh no, not again!"
"Finish her off, Gao!" Daisuke cheered.
"Final Phase!" Gao said.
"What? Final Phase?" Tatsudo asked.
"I cast!" Gao cast as he got into the gigantic fist, "Gigantic Crusher!"
"Looks like I'm grounded for good!" Paruko said as she was defeated.
(G: 4/ Item: Dragoblaze/ G: 0: None/None/Drum)
(P: 0/ Item: None/ G: 0: None/None/None)
Game Over. Winner: Gao Mikado
They were transported out after the game ended.
"Thanks. And the lesson is over."
"But I never got to fight." Tenbu said, disappointingly as he cried.
As Paruko was transported back, her back with the Hundred Demon card fell to the ground.
"What happened? Were we on commercial break?" Paruko asked as she was back to normal and Takosuke cried as he hugged her for relief. "Oh my. Takosuke. What's wrong?"
Gao picked up the card, "They really want this." He said as Drum jump on the table.
"Weirder how Death Shido didn't show up today though, huh?" Drum asked.
"Yeah."
Daisuke looked at Gao as he looked at the letter he got, "Maybe I should tell him next time." He turned as he left.
At the hidden cave...
"You failed me again?!" Ikazuchi asked angrily.
"No! The one who failed is that Uguisukomachi you wanted me to use. This isn't no way my fault at all!" Shido begged as Ikazuchi was charging with electricity.
"I told you that this was your last chance, there's no excuse!" He yelled as Shido cried and was shocked.
"Why does this keep happening to me?!" He yelled as Gallows laughed and Sofia shows no reaction.
"That'll teach him to try to take credit for someone's way!" Gallows said.
At the CASTLE. Tatsudo was at his first match.
"You can do it, Tatsudo!" His first friend cheered.
"Yeah! Let him have it!" The second friend cheered as Tatsudo place his deck into the Core Gadget.
Luminize
"My Buddy is Crimson Battler, Drum Bunker Dragon!"
"He is the same one as Gao Mikado, huh?" Kenta asked.
"What are you trying to say?"
"Copying a lucky fighter like him doesn't mean you'll be like him. Either way, it won't help you again like me, a Great Buddyfighter, Kenta Zakoyama!"
Tatsudo smirked, "Even I know that Gao is lucky."
"Huh?"
"Gao and his Buddy taught me something. This great game isn't just about power. The key is staying positive even when it looks hopeless! You must battle until you find the way to win!" He quoted.
"Whoa! Tatsudo's pretty cool!" The first friend said.
"Kid's right! Being positive is where it's at. Not just for this game but life and general, dude!" The Store Manager said.
"Draw! Charge and Draw!" Tatsudo started his turn. Gao and Drum flew as they saw the match.
"Huh?"
"Hey, look! Isn't that Tatsudo?!" Drum asked as he saw.
"Whatever! Stop your blabbering and call the monster to the center already." Kenta said, "You're gonna protection from me. "
"I equip Assail Sword, Dragoraptor! And now I Buddycall!" He regained one life, Crimson Battler, Drum Bunker Dragon to the right! Come on!"
"That's it!" Then Gao received a phone call, "Gao speaking."
At the Buddy Police HQ...
"Gao. Another Illegal monster has been reported near city. It was last seen around the Sky Tower. I'm sorry to bother you on your day off. But could you head to the scene right away?" Commander I requested.
"No problem!" He put his phone already as he put on his badge, "Drum! Buddy Police Emergency Launch!"
"So much for our day off, huh? Fine with me!" Drum said as he transformed to his Decker form, "Decker Road! Open! Decker Drum's on patrol!"
"Let's show this guy for some justice!" Gao said as Drum's siren is on.
"Time to go to work!" Drum and Gao flies off to stop another illegal monster.
At Daisuke's apartment, he came home.
He sighed, "What a day. And seeing a first Darkness Barrier during my day off." Then he received a phone call, "Hm? This is Daisuke speaking." He heard the call as he was surprised, "No way. Is that true?"
Spotlight shown as Daisuke and Ryuuga appeared on stage.
"Welcome back to more Corner Time for me and Ryuuga!"
"One card for today! Time to show you now!" Ryuuga said as Daisuke snapped his finger.
The card revealed itself to be a blue anthropomorphic dragon wearing grey metallic battle armor with a dark blue visor covering his eyes and black gloves that are connect to his armor with yellow wires. He also has two hand-like drones hovering above his shoulders that can project barriers and screens, "This is Galactic Hacker, Haze. A Size 1 monster with 3000 power and defense with a critical of 1. With his ability, by paying 2 gauge, I can choose one of his effects. I can either nullify the activation of a Spell or negate all the abilities of a Size 2 or less monster on the opponent's field."
"Wow, he's a strong hacker." Ryuuga said.
"He can do anything necessary to stop anything that gets in his way. Anyways the next chapter will be something that Ryuuga will be shocked to see.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Ryuuga asked.
"Til then, bye for now!" Daisuke waved goodbye as the screen faded black.
"Wait! I wanna know what you mean!"
