Chapter 18: Justice Drum Complete
At night, at the mountains...
"With the blazing fury, I'm gonna track down every last one of these evil Hundred Demons and demolish them with my fist! For I'm the Great, Ban Enma, Hundred Demons' Hunter!" Ban said as he declared.
"You're in a pretty feisty mood tonight, ki." Ricky said.
"I sense that we're closing on another one." Ban said as Ricky wasn't amazed.
"So where in the world are we anyway?" Ricky asked.
"Beats me." Ban then sneezed.
"That's terrible, Chief!" Ban heard as the three dragons came to him.
"Take a look at this!" Bash said while holding the tablet that has a cracked screen.
"That guy's not doing so good!" Billion said.
"Why?! What happened?!" Ban asked as they showed him the news on the tablet.
"We welcome you back now to our expectorated report on the search of the Omni Lords. Following this stunt at the Chateau de Amanosuzu, the mysterious Buddyfighter known as Ikazuchi attacked the Buddy Card Office and destroyed it. Gao Mikado of the Buddy Police Youth, challenged the criminal fighter to a Buddyfight but surprisingly suffered from his first ever loss, the culprit escaped." Ms. Hanana announced the news.
"Gao actually lost a fight, ki." Riki said as Ban sighed for disappointment.
In the morning, at the Mikado Residence.
"Tasuku. Daisuke. Please come in." Takeshi as he let them in.
"Thank you, Mr. Mikado." Tasuku said.
"Yes, thank you for letting us in." Daisuke said.
"I can't believe it! You came to our house again! But I never expected for you to be together with Daisuke." Hanako said.
"We're assigned as partners, that's why." Tasuku said.
"How goes the search for the Omni Lords?" Takeshi asked.
"Do you have some secret news to show Gao?!" Hanako asked excitedly.
"Actually we do." Tasuku said.
"We do?" Daisuke asked as Tasuku elbowed him in the stomach, "Ow. Oh yeah we do!"
"He's upstairs in his room. His friends, Baku and Kuguru are visiting too." Takeshi said.
"Is it okay if we go up?" Tasuku requested.
"Of course! I'll take you two myself!" Hanako happily offered.
"Great! Thanks!" Tasuku said as he follows Hanako.
"Oh, and Daisuke." Takeshi said as Daisuke turned to him, "Good to see you're back."
Daisuke was surprised and smiled, "Yeah, me too." He nodded as he followed Tasuku.
At upstairs...
"Gao's super busy, catching up on all of his schoolwork!" She ran up and open Gao's bedroom door, "Hey, Tasuku and Daisuke are here!" As she came in, she was surprised as she saw Gao were building a deck with Baku and Kuguru, "Can't play with me because of your homework, huh?" She asked angrily.
"Yeah, we'll just taking a little break." Baku said.
"It's really not at all of what it looks likes!" Kuguru said nervously.
"The truth is, I got bored with homework and wanna build a new deck instead!" Gao explained, "So don't be mad at these two."
"Oh that's okay! I'm might just forget about bringing you snack while I bring theirs." Hanako said as Tasuku and Daisuke chuckling quietly near the door.
"Come on, that's not fair!" Gao complained. Then Tasuku and Daisuke came in.
"Hey you guys." Tasuku greeted.
"Been awhile." Daisuke said.
"Tasuku! Daisuke! Everything cool?! What's bring you two here, man?!" Gao said excitedly.
"He's really excited to see us again." Daisuke said.
"You know it. We just wanted to see how you were doing, Gao." Tasuku explained.
"You know, if Haruka was here. We would have time to play with each other." Hanako said as she already misses Haruka.
"I know that, but unfortunately she won't have enough time until school's over." Daisuke said.
"We hope she would come. We do like her after all." Kuguru said as Daisuke nodded.
At the roof of the Mikado Residence, Drum was looking at the emblem that Tenbu gave him.
"Poor Gramps." Drum said as he felt bad for what happened.
"You are the reason Tenbu is gone." Jack said as he and Ryuusei appeared in front of him, "That is what you're thinking."
"It's obvious since you keep staring the emblem that Tenbu before he was devoured by Yamigedo." Ryuusei said.
"Hey, Jack, Ryuusei." Drum greeted as they turned to their mini size, "You're right. I blamed myself. But it's not just Tenbu." He thinks of what happened to Gao if Tenbu didn't save him, "If what happened to Tenbu, happened to Gao, I don't know what I do! And this Omni Lord orb thingy or whatever, is no help at all! I wish it would give me a clue or something!"
"You know, Drum. I tried to find a way to unlocked the secrets too but I couldn't understand why I couldn't unlock it so I had to have my partner to help me believe and that's what gave me new powers for Star Dragon World." Ryuuga explained.
"He has a point. If you wish to spare Gao from the same fate as Tenbu, then you must become stronger! And you have to be prepared to protect your Buddy at all cost! In all comes down to how badly you wanted!" Jack advised as he recalled the times Drum did, "I know the fear of losing one's buddy. Up to now, you've embraced so cruelly training required to better yourself and your skills. Continuing this way, be confident, and the path will make itself clear."
Drum thinks, "Thanks, Jack. You always know what to say." He thanked.
"What about me? I give advice." Ryuuga asked.
"Yeah. Not good advice." Drum said as Ryuuga felt down.
"I'm prepared to train as hard as I have to!"
Back to the bedroom...
"I also drop by to give you this." He handed Gao's Core Deck before it was destroyed.
"Whoa! Thanks!" Gao thanked excitedly.
"It looks a little different from your other one." Kuguru noticed the difference.
"This one is a Neo Deck Case. We're actually using one just like it." Tasuku said.
"They added the features on it, so we should be able to handle it without getting it cracked or broken." Daisuke said.
"Are you okay though, Daisuke? You're still hurt from Ikazuchi, aren't you?" Gao asked.
"Don't worry, it's just a mild injury. I'm already recovering so I'll be fine. Don't let it ruined the moment for your Neo Deck Case, Gao."
"Now you're able to luminize again, bro!" Baku said.
"I know, right?! Let's head over to the Dojo and put together a Hero World deck, stat!" Gao recommended.
"Good idea!" Kuguru agreed as Daisuke and Tasuku were confused.
"Hero World, huh?" Tasuku asked.
"Not Dragon World?" Daisuke asked.
At the Dojo...
"Uh. Can't we use any stronger Hero cards?" Gao asked.
"If it's power you want, I'd use that one." Kuguru recommended the card.
"Uh, not what I have in mind." Gao didn't like it, "It's defense is too low."
"What's wrong? It looks like you two are worried about something." Jack said.
"Yeah, you two are like that now since Gao's building a Hero World deck." Ryuuga said.
"If it's about the missing Omni Lords, don't burden yourselves. We'll find them."
"We hope so. The fate of the world's depending on us." Tasuku said.
"They have to be around here, you know? But we have to search all over the country just to find them." Daisuke said.
"That might be the case. But having a purpose, keeps up sharply focus." Jack said.
"Yeah, what he said." Ryuuga agreed.
Drum then noticed a card as he picked it up, "Rescue Dragon, Mach Braver, huh?" He asked.
"It's a Size 1 monster that has the Hero Attribute!" Kuguru explained the stats, "1000 power, 4000 defense, a critical of 1. And he has an ability that activates as a Counterattack! It's a very reliable card!"
"What is the 'Rescue' part of 'Rescue Dragon' mean?" Drum asked.
"You mean you really don't know?" Jack asked.
"And you have been a Hero World monster ever since?" Ryuuga asked as Drum struggled.
"O-of course I do! I'm just drawing a temporary blank here!" Drum said nervously.
"He saves people who are in danger. That's what Rescue means." Tasuku said.
"And the part of rescue is making sure no one will get left behind." Daisuke said.
"He rescues them and never leave one behind." Drum said to himself as he imagined himself, fighting against the monster that ate Gao.
"Gao! Watch out, you purple blob! I'm gonna save my buddy! And I won't leave him behind!" Drum said as the imagination ended
Drum roared as he knocked the wall and ran off.
"Hey! Where are you going?!" Gao asked.
"I've got to rescue my friend, Gao!" Drum said as he transforms and heads off in high speed.
"What's happening to him?"
Drum then was in a curl up position as the surge of energy is starting to give him power to evolve.
"I'm not listening to any monster!" Drum said as he evolved, he has new suit of futuristic designs, the orb in the center of the suit, his drill evolved a triple drill.
"Hey pal. How'd you do that?" Gao asked as Drum noticed and was surprised.
"Yikes! How come I look like this?!" Drum asked.
"Drum's evolved again. But it's not from Dragon World." Daisuke said.
"Obviously, it's because you learn the word 'Rescue'." Jack said.
"Oh, hearing that word makes him evolved." Ryuuga said.
"Yeah, like I said, I just forgot the word is all." Drum said.
"The word and your feelings became one. And you achieve a power up!" Jack explained.
"Oh yeah!" Gao was excited.
"Is that true?" Kuguru asked Baku.
"I don't know." Baku replied.
"Behind every true rescue, beats the heart of justice that seeks to save the others above all else!" Tasuku said.
"And with that, you'll become the one who be the hero to save others from the danger's around them." Daisuke said.
"And that is why, from this day forth, you'll be known as Justice Drum!" Tasuku declared.
"With Drum's power up, we got some work to do!" Kuguru said.
"I'll have to completely re-calibrate the deck." Baku recommended.
"Now I don't need to fear anything at all!" Gao said as Tasuku and Daisuke were confused.
'What did he mean by that?' Daisuke thinks.
"Justice Drum and I will take down Ikazuchi for good!"
Later, at the escalators, Baku and Kuguru were done for school for today. Near there was Ban and Ricky, who are waiting for Gao to come down. The little girl saw them as she was afraid and quietly walked away. Kuguru saw and recognized him as Ban sees her.
"The last time we saw you, you hit my friend, Baku here!" She recalled, "Don't try that again." She warned as she hide behind Baku.
"Oh yeah. I remember you." Ban realized.
"Even if we were possessed by Hundred Demons' monsters, hitting people is totally unacceptable." Kuguru said.
"I helped you guys!" Ban argued.
"You delinquent! Hoodlum! Good-for-nothing!" She starts to insult him.
"Why you-!" He stands up, angrily.
"Um, chillax, bro! I've no beef with you!" Baku said.
"Let me at em! Stand back, Chief! I'll take care of these small fries." Ricky considered.
"Go get them, Ricky!" Ban approved, "Show them what you're made of!"
"With pleasure, ki!" Ricky jumps to attack Baku as Riki punched but Baku grabbed his head as Riki tried to struggle of hitting, "This! This! And this! I'm gonna knock you into next week!" He said as he stopped and thinks he's finished, "Consider that warning of what I can do to you, kay, ki?" Baku and Kuguru laughed for that.
"We better head straight home!" Gao said.
"Got it!" Drum said as Ban heard their voices and saw them flying off.
"There he is! Hey, Ricky! After them!" He ordered.
"Okie-dokie!"
Buddy Skill On
He activated the Buddy Skill as he started to imitated the motorcycle sound as they stopped Gao and Drum in their way.
"It's him! It's Ban Enma!" Drum said.
"I'm here too, ki!" Ricky said.
"I need you to come with me, kid." Ban offered.
"Oh yeah? And just what are you up to, huh?" Drum asked.
"You'll see soon enough. Grab this and hold on!" Ricky offered the rope for the them to hold on. Then Ban starts to imitate the sound of the motorcycle sound starting as they head off and Gao held on.
As they continued driving, Drum was staring at Ban, 'I don't know if I trust this guy. I wanna make sure he's not gonna trick Gao just because he's Daisuke's old friend.' Then he looked at the handlebars on his head, 'Oh yeah, those handlebars. I really wanna touch them.' But then he remembered the last time he touched them.
"No one gets away with that!" Ban yelled angrily as he fire punched Drum
'On second thought, maybe later.' Drum thinks as he regrets of getting punched again.
"Time to lay some rubber!" Ban said as they go faster.
"Not so fast!" Gao complained while holding the rope.
Daisuke is busy, looking an Omni Lords as Ryuusei is looking too. He looked up at the sky and was surprised.
"Hey, Daisuke! Look!"
"Hm?" Daisuke asked as he looked up and wasn't amazed as he saw Gao getting dragged by Ban as they head off somewhere, "Oh boy. What's Ban doing now?"
"Wanna go check?" Ryuusei asked.
"Nah, it's not important. I'm sure he's just having a talk with him." Daisuke said.
"You sure that nothing bad will happen over there?"
"Not unless Drum touched the handlebars again." He snickered.
"I feel sorry for him already."
They went to the beach near the cove as Gang and Billion were wrestling while Ricky and Bash are watching and cheering.
"How's it going?" Ban asked as Gao was confused, "There's no easy way to say this. What you're feeling will pass, kid. Just cause you lost your first fights, there's no reason to be moping around, you dope."
"You brought me here cause you're worried about me?" Gao asked.
"Hey, Chief!" Ricky yelled as he waved to show him the match.
"Looking good!" Ban said as Gao sees Ricky being chased by the three dragons.
"It's funny that you're here, giving me advice. My big brother, Yota used to do that, you two are a lot alike!" Gao said after seeing the resemblance.
"Where is he now? This brother of yours?" Ban asked.
"He's not with us anymore." Gao replied sadly.
"Oh..."
"Don't worry! I'm okay. It was kinda tough for awhile but... I learned to just focus on the happy memories of him."
"Memories, huh?" Ban then lay down on the sand, "I don't have any of those, daddy-o." Gao was confused for that.
"The first memory I have is of the sun, bearing in my eyes. No matter what I do or how hard I tried, can't remember where I'm from. Or anything I've done in my life right now." Ban explained, "It's such a rip, you know?"
"But what about when you became friends with Daisuke?" Gao asked.
"That was one of the only memories I have. Back then, we fought many times as rivals. He wanted me to teach him the simpler way to teach criminals a lesson. We had good times but then we took separate paths after he wanted to start his objective."
"Really?"
"However, the worst thing is that I don't even remember my own name."
"That's rough. Sounds like amnesia." Gao assumed.
"Whatever you call it, it doesn't change anything."
"Wait, so the name Ban Enma..."
"Just some name I picked up. You ask me once before why I'm a Hundred Demons' Hunter, well I'll tell you if you still wanna know." Ban offered an option as Drum walk slowly, trying to play the handlebars.
"Yeah, sure!" Gao agreed.
"It all started when I-" Then he noticed Drum, trying to touch it, "Hey, what are you doing?! Are you trying to touch my handlebars, you scuzball?!"
"N-no! Not at all! I was just uh...!" He slowly stepping back as quick as he could as Ban stand up.
"Why you-!" Then the orb from Drum's bag began to glow.
"What's that?" Drum asked.
"I warned you once before, Dragon!" Ban said as he cracked his knuckle, "No one ever touches my handlebars, you dig!" He said angrily as Drum was scared.
"Oh! Not this again!" Riki said, "Hey, boys! Chief's flipped his lid! You know what to do!"
"Right!" The three dragons said as Bang banged on the drums as they posed and dance while saying 'Hey!'
"Cut it out! I'm too far gone for that to work this time." Ban said.
"Come on, you always say that." Ricky said as he jumped on his head.
"Na uh! No dice!" He refused, "I am not gonna do it!" But with his force of habit, he started to dance and pose.
"I comment on this but I'm just glad he didn't hit me again." Drum felt relived as they continued to pose and dance as they stopped.
"Uh remind me why we're doing this again?" Ban asked.
"You wanted to cheer up your friend, Gao, remember, ki?" Ricky asked for a recalled.
"Oh yeah, that's right." He remembered as he ran to Gao, "Kay, Gao! If I know you one thing to cheer you up! That's fighting me!" He recommended.
Gao was surprised, "Uh actually! I'm really not in a mood for that right now!" He refused.
"I thought you said you'd never back down from a challenge! So are you gonna fight me or you're gonna fight me?!" Ban asked.
"Yeah, you gonna fight, ki?" Ricky asked.
"Fine, okay." Gao gave in, "I accept your challenge!"
At the Sky Home. Tasuku was training in simulator battling against Daisuke
"Crossnize!" Tasuku crossnized Jack with Cavalier.
Dragonarms Loaded. Roll Shift! Verified Form. All Devices Engage! SCF Active! Load Finish!
"Cavalier Sword!" Jack equipped himself with Cavalier's Sword.
"Ready Jack?" Tasuku asked.
"Yep!" Jack said as they attacked Daisuke.
"Star Saber Asteroid!"
"Cavalier Sword!" They inflicted 5 damage as they ended the game.
Game Over. Winner: Tasuku Ryuenji
"How is the Neo Star Pulsar?" Jack asked for Tasuku's Neo Deck Case.
"Holding off nicely." Tasuku said as he came to Daisuke as he was looking at his Neo Core Gadget, "Hey, Daisuke. Anything good with your Neo Dragon Glove?"
"No problems with it." Daisuke said.
"That's good."
"So we'll be able to fight him next time?" Jack asked.
"Yeah! Don't worry, we'll be ready!" Tasuku said as he believed himself, "Right, Daisuke?"
"Yeah." Daisuke nodded as the screen appeared in front of them.
"I'm terribly sorry to interrupt your training, you two got a call from Baku Omori and he said that it's urgent." Stella said.
"Must be about Gao." Daisuke said.
"Yeah. Please put him through!" Tasuku said as he accepted the call from Baku as he and Kuguru appeared on the screen.
"Sorry to bother you two, bros! But we need you two at CASTLE, right away!" Baku said.
"It's Gao and that Hundred Demons' Hunter!" Kuguru said.
"Ban?" Daisuke asked.
At CASTLE, Ban starts his match against Gao.
"It's all the rage with Boppers who are totally hip! Luminize! Enma's Alliance Nice to meet you!"
"Emergency Launch! For the eye of the storm! Luminize! Beaming Sunshine Guardians!"
"Buddyfight!"
"Time to Raise the Flag!"
"We are fighting for Ancient World, ki!"
"We're with Hero World!"
(G: 10/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/None)
(B: 10/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/None)
"An exciting Buddyfight between Gao and the Hundred Demons' Hunter is underway! But hang on a second." Paruko noticed something, "I just noticed that Drum has sporting yet another new form!" She pulled out her Takoscope, "I gotta know what his new powers are! I'll use my trusty Takoscope to check his deets!" She analyzed Justice Drum's stats, "Rescue Dragon, Justice Drum! A Size 2 monster with the Hero Attribute! He has 5000 power, 5000 defense, with a critical of 2! And as I suspected, he has one ability!" She announced, "Now back to the game! The first move goes to Gao!"
"I Charge and Draw! Check this!" He paid one gauge, "Transform! Super Burning Speed! Round up all the criminals! Explosive! Takedown!" Gao transformed with his item, "Rampage Sonic!" Gao split the parts, leaving the grieves and gauntlets on as he attacks Ban, "Rampage Roundhouse Kick!" He kicked as he inflicted 3 damage.
End of Move
(G: 10/ Item: Rampage Sonic/ G: 2: None/None/None)
(B: 7/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/None)
"Causing 3 damage is one way to kick things off! But it's clear that the Hundred Demons' Hunter won't be going down without a fight! He pays 2 gauge and calls Wicked Dragon Emperor, Billion Knuckle to the left!" Paruko announced.
"Which one of you gets a good beating?!" Billion Knuckle asked.
"My popular demand! I Buddycall Dragon Kid, Ricky to the right position!" He Buddycalled as he regained one life. Ricky stabbed the flag to the ground as he jumps to the right.
"You won't be sorry! Just wait until they get a load of me!" Ricky said.
"And I equip, Sky Splitting Armor, Masurao! Billion Knuckle! Go hit him hard!" Ban ordered Billion Knuckle to attack.
"I cast, Justice will Prevail!" Gao gave himself a boost of energy as he fights against Billion Knuckle, "Counterattack!" He destroyed Billion Knuckle but paid the price of 2 damage.
"What an amazing move! Gao received 2 damage but he was able to take out his attacker! However..." Paruko announced as Billion Knuckle's revived due to Soulguard, "Billion Knuckle just revives with Soulguard!"
"Not bad, small human!" Billion admitted.
"I think he looks ready for more!" Ban assumed, "Come on, Ricky! Let's go!"
"Alright." Ricky said as they performed a Link Attack to attack Gao, "Take this! And that! And there's more!" He inflicted one damage.
Ban's item began to charge up as he spins around, "Sky Splitting Armor, Masurao!" He inflicted 2 damage.
End of Move
(G: 5/ Item: Rampage Sonic/ G: 2: None/None/None)
(B: 8/ Item: Masurao/ G: 1: Billion/None/Ricky)
Daisuke and Tasuku came to Baku and Kuguru.
"Hey, Baku." Tasuku greeted.
"The fight's already started, bro." Baku said.
"You mean we're late already?" Daisuke asked.
"But why are they fighting each other?" Tasuku asked.
Gao called out Assault Leader to the left and Heroic Blader to the right.
"Gao calls Cyber Police Assault Leader to the left! And Cyber Police Heroic Blader to the right! He set up the Gao Formation!" Paruko announced for Gao's strategy.
"Kay, Assault Leader! Go and destroy Billion Knuckle!" Gao ordered.
"You fool! I cast! Gathering of the Armed Dragon!" Ban cast as Billion gained a boost as he endured Assault Leader's bullets.
"Do your worst! I don't feel a thing!" Billion Knuckle said, "Now get a taste of my Counterattack!" He said as he strikes a punch on Assault Leader.
"Boss! I await your orders!" Heroic Blader said.
"Hold on!" Gao said.
"Awww, isn't it cute that he calls our Gao, boss?" Paruko said as she blushed for hearing something cute, "Weird that he's with the police but carries a Katana Sword though, huh? He's cool! Let it slide!"
"Come on, Heroic Blader! Do a Link Attack on Billion Knuckle! Rampage Roundhouse Kick!" They attacked together as they destroyed Billion Knuckle.
"It's up to you, Ricky!"
"Leave it to me, ki!" Ricky said as Ban received damage due to Lifelink, "And my Link Cut!" He cut the 6 down as it receives back to 8 again.
"Oh! Ricky's hand ability, neutralizes Billion Knuckle's Lifelink! And with that he end his move!" Paruko announced.
Ban growled in frustration for losing Billion Knuckle, "Draw! Charge and Draw! I pay 2 gauge and call Bash Dragon Emperor, Champion Lord to the left position!" He paid 2 gauge and bring out Champion Lord.
"I feel very very fine!" Bash said.
"I set Forbolka from my hand to the Drop Zone! Increasing my gauge by 2! And I send Thunder Tornado from my hand and activates Demonic Windstrike!" He activated it as the fiery tornados destroyed Gao's Rampage Sonic.
"Hold on!" Drum said as it was too late.
"No way! He destroyed Gao's Rampage Sonic! He's using all the monster abilities as possible with the Size 3 monster in the field!" Paruko announced.
"Come on!" Ban said.
"Heroic Blader! Move to the center!" Gao moved Heroic Blader to the center.
"Ricky! Hit that bucket of bolts as hard as you can!" Ban ordered as Ricky attacks Heroic Blader.
"Take that! And that! And this!" Ricky destroyed Heroic Blader.
"Champion Lord, unleash your fury on Gao!"
"I let out some steam!" Champion Lord attacks Gao as he inflicted 2 damage, "Wait, there's more! My Double Attack!" He strikes at Gao again as he inflicted another 2 damage.
"Now for my finishing blow!" Ban said as he's going to attack.
"After that punishing combination, Gao's down to just 1 life! Will the young fighter's losing streak continues?" Paruko announced with a cliffhanger.
"I cast! I've Seen Through Your Moves!" Gao cast as he nullified the attack and Ban growled for that.
"What suspense! Gao's saved the Counterspell for the 11th hour! He survived for now! But what's next!" Paruko screamed.
"Boy, that was pretty close." Kuguru said.
"One more hit and he would've been done for." Daisuke said.
"The Demons' Hunter has 8 life left. So he has to win on this turn!" Tasuku said.
"I think he will! Gao still has a choice card up his sleeve, bro!" Baku said.
"And what would that be?" Daisuke asked.
Gao roars as he draws, he then smiled for the right card.
"The one that he just got it!" Baku replied.
"I pay one gauge and Buddycall, Rescue Dragon, Justice Dragon to the right position!" Gao Buddycalled as he regained one life.
"Justice is served to crush all evil! Because I, the Invincible Hero, Rescue Dragon, Justice Drum are here to save the day!" Drum said.
"I call Cyber Police, Commander Gale to the left area!" He called out a white robot with a red cape, blue weapon on his right shoulder and the red weapon on his left shoulder, "Here I go!" Gao paid one gauge, "Time to turn up the heat! I pay one gauge to transform! Fiery! Inspector! Prominence Burst! Yeah!" Gao equipped himself with the armor that is the same for Rampage Sonic but red lining and has wings and a tail.
"Well, that's Hero World for ya! Robots! Superheroes! Gao transforms into something cool again!" Paruko was amazed.
"One more time! It's the Gao Formation!" Gao said.
"This kid never gives up, ki." Ricky said.
"Yeah, I know." Ban agreed, "Got him cornered like a rat and yet he looks super confident!"
"If you wanna get through Chief, you gonna have to go through me first!" Champion said.
"Champion Lord has the Dragon Lord Stand of Courage ability, which redirects the attack!" Paruko announced after pulling the Takoscope, "Meant for the chief to himself! And he has 6000 defense! So what will Gao do? He doesn't have any monsters in the field with over 6000 power!"
"Go and give Drum a hand, Commander Gale!" Gao recommended as Gale's chest began to shine as it boosted Drum's power.
"What's happening?! Justice Drum's power is getting a major boost!" Paruko announced.
"Commander Gale's ability can increase the power of another Hero monster on the field by 1000!" Kuguru explained.
"Now he has 6000 power! So he's strong enough to defeat him!" Baku said.
"Okay, Drum! It's time to show everyone, your new power!" Gao said.
"Yeah!" He spins his drill around as it glows green while spinning, "Justice... Break!" He punched a hole on Champion Lord as he was destroyed.
"Link Cut!" Ricky activated his ability.
"What's that? You want my extra attack?! Break!" He then attacked Ricky as he was destroyed.
"Sorry Chief!" Ricky has been destroyed as Ban was inflicted 1 damage due to Lifelink.
"With Lifelink, he receives 1 damage!"
"Did Drum just attacked twice?" Daisuke asked.
"What's that ability?" Tasuku asked.
"When he destroys a monster, he gets an extra attack!" Baku explained.
"That's Justice Drum for you!" Kuguru said.
"So does he keep going for every monster that he destroys in a row?" Tasuku asked.
"Sounds like it." Daisuke said.
"At this rate, I'll be defeated in no time at all!" Ban said as Drum attacks again.
"Justice Ram Bunker!" He attacked Ban as he inflicted 2 damage.
"Commander Gale! Go attack the fighter!" Gao ordered as Gale speeds up as he attacked Ban and inflicted 1 damage, "I'll clinch it in one blow!"
"Well, Gao. You're good." Ban admitted.
"Every time when my Hero attribute monsters destroys an opponent's monsters with an attack, my critical increases by 1!" Gao explained as he was surging with energy and has two swords.
"And it increased when he destroyed Champion Lord!" Baku said.
"And it also up one when he took out Ricky!" Kuguru said.
"Add it up and it makes a critical of 4!" Tasuku calculated.
"That's enough to finish him off!" Daisuke said as Gao finishes Ban off.
"Prominence Burst!" He cross slashed as he inflicted 4 damage and ended the game.

Game Over. Winner: Gao Mikado
"Thanks! But I owe it all to justices!"
"You're lucky! We felt sorry for you and let you win, ki!" Ricky said as he was angry.
"Thanks for challenging me!" Gao thanked Ban as he came to him, "You made me feel a lot better!"
"I just did to what Yota wasn't able to." Ban said as Gao was surprised, "I know that I can never take his place, I like to try if you let me." Gao was amazed, "Think of me as your big brotherly bond."
"Gee, thanks, Ban!"
"Alright!" Ban said as they left the CASTLE Stage.
"Gao!" Kuguru call as they're coming to them.
"Oh no. It's those weirdos again!" Ban recognized the voice, "Let's hightail it out of here, quick!"
"Okie-dokie!" Ricky said as he got on.
Buddy Skill On
"Later, Gao! Tell Daisuke, I said hey!" Ban said as he leaves, "We gotta book and next time, I'll be out for my own justice!"
"What's the man into you?" Kuguru asked, "Can you tell us why you're hanging out with that hoodlum?"
"For once, I agree with her." Baku said.
"I guess that makes four of us, right?" Tasuku asked Daisuke.
"Huh? Oh yeah."
"You do realize he's interfered with Buddy Police missions in the past, right? And as a member of the Buddy Police Youth, you gotta be more careful."
"Yeah, but the fight was really fun!" Drum said.
"Yeah, you did burn it up out there." Baku admitted.
"The addition of Justice Drum made the deck even more powerful than before!" Kuguru said.
"Heroes sure are great. Whenever you're in trouble, or in a jam, heroes appear out of nowhere just what you need them to save you." Gao said as Tasuku was surprised of those words.
Later, Tasuku and Daisuke heads off.
"What's wrong?" Jack asked.
"You know before losing to Ikazuchi. Gao would've been thinking of how best used cards in Hero World. But now it's seems like he's talking about is wanting to be saved by hero." Tasuku said.
"What's wrong with that?" Daisuke asked, "There's nothing wrong about being saved by a hero. It's not that big of a deal.
"Of course it's a big deal!" Tasuku yelled.
"Calm down. Are you overthinking it?" Jack asked.
"No, I don't think so. Gao's not dealing with the sadness he feels from losing Tenbu."
"Wait a minute. You're talking about Tenbu now?" Ryuusei asked.
"You're saying about being defeated by Ikazuchi and losing Tenbu. Gao has changed?"
"I am." Tasuku said, "And the weird thing is, that he isn't even remotely aware of it."
"Do you think he was over it already?" Daisuke asked.
"I don't think so. You know that he's saved us from the edge of despair. Well now, it's our turn. Until Gao returns to his old self. It's up to us to take care of him."
"You're right. We need to repay our debt to him. No matter what."
Spotlight shown as Daisuke and Ryusei appears on stage.
"Hey, guys! Welcome back to more Corner Time! This chapter is finished! The next one will be about the event of hidden fight. So me and Tasuku are going to find out what's going on. Til then give me a good review of what you think and give me Galactic ideas! Bye for now!"
"Wait! Not again!" He waved goodbye as the screen faded black.
