Chapter 30: A Misunderstood Romance
At an unknown location, there was a giant size cocoon.
"About Yamigedo..." Shido wondered.
"Call him master! Master Yamigedo!" Gratos complained.
"M-master Yamigedo. What's happening to him?" Shido asked.
"I have prepared this altar of darkness for him. Through the hidden power of this place, Master Yamigedo will be reborn stronger than ever." Gratos explained.
"This place?" Sophia asked.
"You're better off not knowing."
"Now that you mention it, my whole body has been feeling twitchy, geh." Gallows said as he felt something in his body as he begins to evolve.
"G-gallows!" Shido said, "You're glowing!" The black thorns grown as it transforms to Gallows's new evolution, his skeleton is bigger like a huge demonic demon, his horns are larger and his skullface is like a beast with a red jewel on the center on the head.
"Gate Guider, Gallows Gestus!"
"Gallows?" Shido asked.
"The power of this place has caused your power to evolve." Gratos said as Shido was amazed.
"Can we still combine?" He asked.
"Let's try it, geh!" Gallows said as they jumped as they formed together.
"Combine!" Their combined form is similar to Death Shido's form but it was red with no cape.
"We did it!"
"From now on, call yourself Ges Shido." Gratos declared.
"A name that Shido deserves." Sophia somewhat agreed.
"Now let's ask Master Ikazuchi for..." Ges Shido requested.
"A guy like that. You don't need him." He heard a voice as it was Noboru who is coming to them as he pull out his deck case, "The great Tiger is here, and that's more than enough."
At the Sky Home, Count Dawn wasn't pleased for Gao and Drum to disobey orders.
"You unbelievable idiots!"
"It was all my fault!" Drum said to cover Gao.
"Be silent! You can't imagine how much we worried about you. Think about your parents and families! Don't you realize how reckless that was?" He asked angrily as Gao became frustrated, "If I remove you from the Buddy Police, you may repeat the same mistake. So I order you to return to active duty." He recommended as it surprised them, "Don't get me wrong! From now on, you won't get away with doing whatever you like! Got that?"
"Yes, sir!"
"Remember it well. I'm going to give you a mission now. Tomorrow after school, attend your make-up classes!"
"What?!" Gao asked as he screamed out.
The next day at the Aibo Academy. Akatsuki rushed in to inform his brother about the news.
"You're late, Akatsuki!" Zanya said.
"E-elder brother!" Akatsuki said.
"Tsukikage, well done on guarding Gao." He said as Tsukikage jumped down from the tree.
"Why are we protecting Master Gao?" Akatsuki asked.
"Because it isn't over yet. According to Count Dawn, they searched that cave. But they couldn't find Yamigedo or the Hundred Demons or Ikazuchi himself, unfortunately."
"So that means..."
"We would assume that Ikazuchi and Yamigedo are still alive out there." Daisuke said as he came to them.
"Daisuke. What are you doing here?" Zanya asked.
"Count Dawn gave me the assignment to help you out. Thought you might need some assistance." Daisuke explained.
"I don't need your help. I got enough as it is."
"I think you should reconsidered that. I brought my sister with me."
"Hi!" Haruka said as she was behind her brother.
"A girl!" His glasses cracked, "Okay! Okay! You can help! Just don't get her near me!"
"Considered it done!" He gave his thumb up.
"Um. Is that what I heard earlier the reason why we're protecting Master Gao?" Akatsuki asked as Tsukikage opened his scroll, 'Exactly.'
"We never know when we might have to fight." Zanya said as they looked at the Aibo Academy.
"And we won't know if Ikazuchi can rise again with Yamigedo. If he does, he will be getting his revenge on Gao for his loss." Daisuke said.
"Be careful, Akatsuki." Zanya said.
"Yes, elder brother!"
At the classroom, the teacher sighed.
"Well then, it's time for the next lesson."
"There's more?!" Gao asked as he was getting tired while studying with Tetsuya who was with him in the make-up class.
"I'm against cramming in knowledge, yo! More importantly, why am I taking these make-up classes too, yo?" Tetsuya asked.
At the cafeteria...
"Next, we'll make inquiries in the cafeteria." Zanya recommended.
"Yes, elder brother!" Akatsuki said.
"Good choice. You want something to eat there, Haruka?" Daisuke asked.
"Yes, elder brother! I would love some!" Haruka said excitedly. Zanya came in as he felt something.
"Hm, something wrong?" Daisuke asked.
"I have a bad feeling." Zanya said as he saw someone at the table.
"That's Lady Megumi Mamakari." Akatsuki said after seeing her at the table, with many empty bowls, probably she ate most of them.
"Oh! I didn't know she was here!" Haruka said.
"Akatsuki. Let's go home." Zanya recommended.
"Huh? Why would we do that?" Akatsuki asked.
"Yeah! We just got here! Why do we have to leave?" Haruka asked.
"Can't you two tell? She's been stood up by someone." Zanya said after seeing the condition on Megumi.
"He's got a point. I mean look at her." Daisuke said, "She's looks irritated right now. It'll be bad if someone talks to her."
"Someone already has." Akatsuki said as Byakuya was at the table.
"How fortuitous to meet you in a place like this, forsooth!" Byakuya said excitedly, "When we last saw you in Cho-Osaka, you were so very helpful, forsooth! We have a lot to talk about, forsooth! We could catch up over a drink if you like, forsooth?"
"Byakuya!" Zanya yelled.
"Wow, that guy can never stop does he?" Daisuke asked.
"I know how that feels, elder brother." Haruka agreed. Then they joined with her as she explained what happened.
"Jin has disappeared?" Zanya asked.
"I can't get in touch with him. Not even Kenji knows where he is. I don't want to think the worst, but..." Megumi said.
"Do you have some idea of what happened?" He asked. She then remembered what happened yesterday.
At the alley...
"An errand?" Megumi asked.
"Sorry. It'll only take a moment. Will you two wait for me in the usual place?" Jin asked.
"You got it, boss!" Kenji said.
"I don't mind either, but..." Megumi said.
"Sorry about this! I owe you two one!" Jin said as he head off. But then Megumi noticed something on the ground as she picked it up.
"Jin! Jin!" She yelled but he already left.
Megumi then showed the envelope that Jin dropped the other day on the table.
"This is it. It says that it's from Tiger." She said.
"So this Tiger person has kidnapped Jin." Zanya said.
"Is it a nickname or some kind of code?" Akatsuki asked.
"Isn't tigers are like felines and like cats?" Haruka asked as they realize something.
"Kitten Shirt!" They all said as Tsukikage opened his scroll, 'Noboru Kodo'.
"We must report this to the Count!" Zanya said.
"We'll contact him right now!" Daisuke said.
At the Sky Home...
"What? Are you certain?" Count Dawn asked.
"Considering the circumstances, it's quite possible." Zanya said.
"But unfortunately, with the obviously evidence, it's no doubt that it's him." Daisuke said.
"A Hundred Demons monster kidnapped Noboru Kodo. Noboru lured Jin Magatsu to a meeting. And now, Jin has disappeared as well." Count Dawn said.
"Count? Is something wrong?" A voice said as it was coming from Count's phone.
"Oh! I'm terribly sorry."
"Who was that?" Zanya asked.
"It's young Miss Amanosuzu." Count Dawn said.
"From Miss Amanosuzu?" Daisuke asked.
"I was receiving her weekly report."
"If you're busy, I can call again later." Suzuha said.
"I apologize. An emergency came up."
At Suzuha's room. Sebastian is holding the tablet for communication.
"That's fine. I've got a important meeting to go to myself." She said.
"I am in your debt. Let us continue this another day."
"Good day." Suzuha said as Count Dawn ended the call. Suzuha was in her hairdryer as it was finished, "Now then. Let's go!"
"I can't interrupt the make-up lessons based on mere conjecture. Zanya. Daisuke. Can you two investigate this further?" Count Dawn requested.
"Of course! I owe Jin a debt on my own." Zanya said.
"And I wanted to repay his debt for a long time since I didn't thank him for helping Haruka." Daisuke said.
"I'm counting on you two." Count Dawn said as he ended the call.
'You helped me realize the true nature of Katana World' Zanya thinks as he remembered what Jin told him.
"Maybe that's what the true nature of Katana World is for you." Jin said.
'I won't forget my debt of gratitude.' He thinks.
"Will you look for Jin?" Megumi asked as she got her face close to Zanya. He stepped back as he was surprised, "What is it? Are you still uncomfortable around girls? Even Haruka is with you?"
"That's exactly correctly right! It truly is a pain, forsooth." Byakuya said.
"Be quiet, Byakuya!" Zanya yelled, "You guys gather information on Noboru Kodo. Don't overlook the tiniest details." He advised.
"Time to conduct inquiries! I want to go too!" Akatsuki said.
"All right. Tsukikage, go with him." Zanya said as Tsukikage agreed, 'Nin!', "Is it okay for your sister to help Akatsuki out?"
"I'm sure she can handle it, right Haruka?" Daisuke asked.
"On it!" Haruka said.
"Nanomachine Ninja Arts: Art of Nano Body Replication, forsooth!" Byakuya and Tsukikage begins to duplicate miniature versions of themselves to provide help. One of them was on Akatsuki's Shoulders and Byakuya was on Haruka's shoulder.
"Scatter!" Zanya ordered as they begin to split up to find everything they can on Noboru.
At the plaza...
"I understand. Let's meet up." He ended the call, "No significant results, huh? The only one we haven't talked to is..."
At Suzuha's home. They went there to ask her about Noboru.
"It's an amazing house as always. It's even more gorgeous a mansion than I'd heard, forsooth!" Byakuya said after seeing the hallway.
"You sure you wanna be here? Despite the fact that you're going to speak to Miss Amanosuzu." Daisuke said.
"I'm not looking forward to this, but..." Zanya said.
"Oh! If it isn't Zanya Kisaragi and Daisuke Masamune!" They heard Suzuha's voice as she was coming down the stairs, "What business do you two have for me?"
"What's this?" Byakuya asked as he gets into his defensive position, "Is this lady a final boss for us to defeat, forsooth?"
"She's Lady Suzuha Amanosuzu from the junior high school division!" Akatsuki tried to calm Byakuya down.
"She is not the boss to defeat! Please don't attack her!" Haruka said as Tsukikage opened his scroll, 'Suzuha Amanosuzu'.
"L-lady Suzuha." Zanya asked nervously, "Th-there's something we need to ask you."
"Please do keep it in brief. I have to meet someone shortly." Suzuha said.
"Huh? You're meeting someone?" Daisuke asked.
"Lady Suzuha has received a love letter." Sebastian said while holding the Suzuha's letter.
"Sebastian, loose lips sink ships!"
"That letter is the same as Jin's!" Megumi said after seeing the similar design.
"What?" Zanya asked.
"It is the same!" Daisuke said.
"It's from a Master Tiger." Sebastian said.
"Tiger?" Zanya, Akatsuki, Daisuke, and Haruka asked.
"Tiger, as in the animal. And tigers have fangs. Gao's name includes the character fang. Oh, but fangs are also known as tusks." Suzuha explained as she blushed, "Perhaps it's from Master Tasuku!"
"That's such an elegant deduction, Lady Suzuha!" Sebastian complimented.
"But it's based on a giant mistake." Megumi said.
"Oh, but for Buddyfighters like ourselves. Buddyfighters are like professions of love. Don't you think?" Suzuha asked.
"Since when Buddyfighting is a profession to love?" Daisuke asked.
"Don't say that! It makes Buddyfighting awkward!" Zanya said, "If your letter is from Tiger, we can't let you go!" He plans on stopping her.
"Are you interfering in my love life?" Suzuah asked as she walks close to him. He got scared as his glasses got cracked.
"Too close!"
"Please, Miss Amanosuzu. You can't go." Daisuke said.
"I appreciate the time you saved me when I was possessed by a Hundred Demon. But it doesn't mean I'll repay the debt by listening to your advice."
"We're doing this for good reason!" Akatsuki said.
"We're trying to help you!" Haruka said.
"That's right! It all began several tens of thousands of years ago..." Byakuya said as Tsukikage opened his scroll, 'Please stand by.'
"Sebastian!" Suzuha said for him to know what to do. He then rings the bell and opens the trapdoor on the floor as they fell in, "I'm in a bit of a hurry. Terribly sorry." She apologized as the trapdoor closes.
I failed..." Zanya said.
"You really are a pain." Megumi said.
"All because you couldn't resist your fear." Daisuke said.
At the Fighting Stage...
"Wherever there are Buddyfights, you'll find Paruko Nanana! I sensed a fight was about to go down, so I came here, to the Aibo Academy Fighting Stage!" Paruko announced, "And wh-wh-wh-what's this? Our Lady Suzuha Amanosuzu is facing off against Noboru Kodo, last seen being kidnapped by a mysterious monster!" She explained as she sees Noboru on stage, "When did he make it back alive?"
"How unexpected. I never imagined that you were the one who set me this, Noboru." Suzuha said.
"I thought I signed it quite clearly." Noboru said as Suzuha holds the letter.
"You're far more passionate than I thought. I don't mind that in a man."
"I like to test your current skill level. Penetrate the earth and pierce the heavens! Luminize! Tiger Knights!"
"Sebastian!" Suzuha said.
"My lady." Sebastian offered her Core Gadget.
"Prepare for a miracle! Angel Queen Serenade! Luminize!"
At the Buddy Pit. Zanya and Daisuke rushed in.
"We're too late!" Zanya said.
"The match is already started!" Daisuke said.
"Oh my, everyone arrived so quickly." The red maid said after seeing the others came in.
"It's already started!" Akatsuki said.
"Both parties have just finished luminizing." The green maid said.
"Stop the fight this instant!" Zanya demanded.
"They must not fight each other!" Daisuke said.
"Buddyfight!"
"Raise the Flag!"
"Magic World!"
"Dungeon World!"
(N: 10/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/None)
(S: 10/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/None)
"Did he say Dungeon World?" Zanya asked.
"How can he be using that? He usually uses Dragon World!" Daisuke said.
At the unknown location, Gratos and the others are watching the match.
"Huh? What does this mean?" Ges Shido asked, "Noboru Kodo was a Dragon World user, wasn't he?"
"It's a trifling matter. When Master Yamigedo fully revives, such concerns will become meaningless. Petty things like that." Gratos said.
Back at the battle...
"I pay one gauge and call Dragon Wing Knight, Dragon Gard to the left!" He called a Dragon Knight, wearing a purple armor, he has red long hair and his eyes are like a dragon. He has a white cape and carries a sword with flaming aura on it, "I Buddycall Knight of Glory, El Quixote to the right!" He Buddycalled El Quixote but he wears an azure armor as his dragon, wears it too.
"Due to Buddy Gift, he regains one life!" Paruko announced.
At the Buddy Pit...
"So even El Quixote has changed into Dungeon World? What's going on?" Zanya asked.
"Gratos... What has he been doing to Noboru?" Daisuke asked quietly.
"I equip!" He paid one gauge, "Flash Lance, Blitz Tiger!" He equip a lance that is a blue and yellow on the tips, "Link Attack!" They attacked the center monster together, "El Quixote gains the Penetrate ability during this turn and gains 1 critical! Double Penetrate!" They inflicted 3 damage together. Then Dragon Gard attacks as he inflicted 2 damage.
The Move End
(N: 9/ Item: Blitz Tiger/ G: 1: Dragon Gard/None/El Quixote)
(S: 5/ Item: None/ G: 3: None/None/None)
"Just one turn and Suzuha is down to half of her life points!" Paruko announced, "How will she come back from this?"
Suzuha felt happy all of the sudden, "Such a passionate attack. My heart is pounding! Oh, but what should I do? I've already given my heart to someone else!"
At the Buddy Pit...
"That little princess still thinks that challenge from Noboru Kodo was a love letter." Megumi said.
"She's too blinded by romance." Haruka said.
"And unwavering in her convictions." Akatsuki said.
"Now here I go!" She call out her 3 monsters on the field.
"Dragon Gard! Move to the center!" Noboru said as Dragon Gard is moved to the center.
"It's no use! Dunkleheit!" She orderd Dunkleheit as he sliced Dragon Gard and destroyed him.
"Using Dunkleheit's increased power, she clears the center position!" Paruko announced.
"Go and strike down the fighter, Licht! Will Glassart!" They joined together to attack.
"So you've finally come, you studly magicians!" Noboru said as he takes the attack, inflicted with 1 damage, "But I've got my own studly power!" He said as Suzuha was surprised. Then Will attacks Noboru and was dealt with 2 damage, "I cast! Quiesence of Cassiade!" He regains 2 life.
The Move End
(N: 8/ Item: Blitz Tiger/ G: 2: None/None/El Quixote)
(S: 5/ Item: None/ G: 4: Will/Licht/Dunkleheit)
"Leaving aside the whole 'Stud' thing. Suzuha is prevented from inflicting damage as much damage as she'd like!" Paruko announced.
"I'll show you my studly power!" Noboru said as he Draw and Charge and Draw, "I pay one life and equip! Savage Lance, Eisen Tiger!" He equipped another item that is the same as the Blitz Tiger but it is grey instead of yellow. He then combines his two items as it became a double-edged weapon.
"Wh-wh-wh-what's this item?" Paruko announced after seeing what she just saw.
At the Buddy Pit...
"That's crazy! He's equipped two items at once?!" Zanya asked.
"And the rules doesn't seem to violate this." Daisuke said.
"You can only have one item card on the playing field!" Megumi said.
"It must be a combo card!" The red maid said.
"Savage Lance, Eisen Tiger and Flash Lance, Blitz Tiger! If both cards are present, Blitz Tiger increases power and Eisn Tiger increases the critical." the green maid explained.
"I see. So you want to date me, even if it's by force!" Suzuha assumed, "I don't mind forceful gentlemen."
"I call Revolution Knight, Rebellious to the left!" He called out a big man, wearing white armor with fur cape on him. There are horns on the shoulder armor, blue torso, and carries a sword, on his armor has eyes like a tiger.
"I spy an interesting monster! I'll use the Takoscope to check and check!" Paruko announced as she pull out her Takoscope to analyze Rebellious's stats, "Th-this is a Hundred Demons monster?! Why is it in Noboru's deck?!"
At the unknown location...
"I gave it to him." Gratos said.
"That's Master Ikazuchi's...!" Ges Shido said.
"Ikazuchi isn't here anymore. From now on, I will administrate all of the Hundred Demons, as their elder." Gratos declared as he carried Ikazuchi's Dark Core Gadget of Yamigedo, sealed within the orb, "That's obvious, isn't it?"
"I activate Rebellious's skill!" He activates as Rebellious's sword begins to flash brightly as the dark power is surging out, "Let's destroy a monster Size 2 or smaller, too!" Noboru said as he has the dark power in his hand, it destroyed Will and Dunkleheit.
"Wh-what's going on?" She asked after seeing her monsters destroyed.
"I see! If you have two items equipped when you call Rebellious, you can destroy one Size 1 or smaller monster and one Size 2 or smaller monster. That's his ability!" Paruko explained.
At the Buddy Pit...
"Just calling him destroys two monster?" Megumi asked.
"And it only works if he has two items." Daisuke said.
"So this is another combo with those two lances!" Zanya said as Tsukikage opened his scroll, 'Combo'.
"B-but Licht is still in the center!" Akatsuki said.
"But it'll be the same as last time." Zanya said.
"An unexpected defeat for that matter." Daisuke said.
"But she'll survive, right?" Haruka asked.
"Not sure."
"He has a point. Noboru can use a Link Attack to clear the center. Then a Penetrate Attack from Blitz Tiger and El Quixote with an increased critical!"
El Quixote and Noboru performed a Link Attack as they destroyed Licht. Then they used the Penetrate to attack Suzuha.
"Double Penetrate!" They inflicted 3 damage.
"That's not all!" Megumi said.
"Yeah, I know." Daisuke said.
"Right. The other spear, Eisen Tiger, still has one attack left!" Zanya said.
Noboru prepared for his attack with his secondary weapon.
"Right now, Eisen Tiger has a critical of 3!" Paruko announced.
"I'm disappointed! Is this all you can do?" Noboru asked as he was engulfing in a wind to finish her off.
"I cast! Solomon's Shield!" She nullified the attack, "I'm not that easy!"
"She blocked it!"
At the Buddy Pit...
"What a fierce attack!" The red maid said.
"So this is the destructive power of dual-equipped items." The green maid said as Zanya is making contact.
"What are you doing?" Daisuke asked.
"We need to call him to let him know about this." Zanya said as he calls.
"It's me." Count Dawn said.
"Count Dawn, are you watching this?" Zanya asked.
At the Sky home...
"Yes. Things don't look good." Count Dawn said.
"We have a request."
At the unknown location. Ges Shido was amazed.
"Looks like Noboru Kodo's pretty strong when he uses Dungeon World.'
"Noboru Kodo. He was so dedicated to his Dragon Knight deck. Why did he change the world that he uses?" Sophia asked.
"Several of his Dragon Knights crossed over the wall between worlds to Dungeon World. That's all." Gratos said as he drew a card from a card from Yamigedo.
"Crossed over the wall between worlds? But that can't be easy..." Ges Shido said.
"This too, is the effect of Master Yamigedo's revival."
"Take a look! Suzuha was obviously life-or-death situation of one life yet she's made a miraculous recovery!" Paruko announced after seeing Suzuha calming down and having tea.
"That was most elegant, Lady Suzuha." Sebastian complimented after giving her another pour.
"Thank you, Sebastian." She thanked her loyal butler. Noboru kneel down for exhaustion of using his strength.
"Meanwhile, Noboru is down to 2 life! It's Your Move!" Paruko announced.
At the Buddy Pit. Zanya ended the call.
"What happened?" He asked.
"What'd we missed?" Daisuke asked.
"Elder brother, weren't you watching?" Akatsuki asked.
"Don't tell me, you didn't see it too, elder brother?" Haruka asked.
"Honestly, Lord Zanya and Master Daisuke are such a disappointment, forsooth." Byakuya said.
"Let's see that artistic comeback play one more time!" Paruko announced for the replay.
At the hallway of Aibo Academy, Gao was getting ready to leave as he was at the shoe locker. He sighed for the relief.
"It's finally over." Gao said as he takes out his phone from the locker.
"G-gao!" Tetsuya said, "Noboru and Suzuha Amanosuzu are fighting at the Fighting Stage!" He said as he checked on his phone.
"What?!" Gao and Drum asked.
"I'll show you the Magician deck's ace, which reverses the direst of straits."
"I cast!" She paid 3 gauge, she hide the pink handkerchief as she activate a spell, "Great Spell, Auld Lang Syne!" Her life is restored back to 10 as she drew one card, "For someone like me, this sort of minor miracle is as easy as pie!"
"Using an astounding spell, Suzuha returns to 10 life!" Paruko announced, "Everything looks perfect as she attacks!" She had her Buddy and her two monsters to attack Noboru for an attack as he was inflicted with 4 damage.
The Move End
(N: 2/ Item: Blitz Tiger/Eisen Tiger/ G: ?: None/None/None)
(S: 10/ Item: None/ G: 3: Mary Sue/Casta/Dunkleheit)
"Before we knew it, we ended up with this result!" Paruko announced.
At the Buddy Pit...
"What a surprise." Zanya said.
"Yeah, never expected Suzuha's spell can restore her life back instantly." Daisuke said.
"That little princess really is quite something." Megumi said.
Back at the battle, Noboru grunted as he begins to laugh.
"Oh my? Did something tickle Noboru's funny bone?" Paruko asked, "Right now, all he can do is laugh. I can understand how he feels."
"Good, Lady Suzuha! You pass the test!" Noboru said.
"Pass the test? What a strange thing to say." Suzuha is confused, "Shouldn't I be the one to determine if you pass or fail?"
"Jin Magatsu was strong too. But you're more match than him." Noboru said as his eyes glowed red as an blue aura surround him. She never seen it before, "Draw! Charge and Draw!"
"I-I don't really get what's happening, but the fight is back on!" Paruko announced.
"Knight of Glory, El Quixote to the right! I call Purge Knight, Vlad Dracula to the left!" He paid two gauge as he called out Vlad Dracula who is a Knight but doesn't ride his dragon, he carries a white sword with red lining and has a shield with a skull face on it.
At the Buddy Pit...
"I thought Vlad was a Dragon World monster." Akatsuki said.
"Yeah, didn't he used to have him like that?" Haruka asked.
"It's the same as El Quixote." Zanya said.
"It's not just him who became a Dungeon World monster, the dragon knights he carried must've become like that!" Daisuke said.
"Double Penetrate!" Noboru performed a Link Attack as he destroyed Casta together and then inflicted 3 damage at Suzuha.
"Furthermore, Noboru inflicts 3 damage using Eisen Tiger!" Paruko announced. Then Vlad is becoming to boost his power.
"Isn't Vlad Dracula's ability...?" Megumi asked.
"For every Dragon Knight in the Drop Zone, his critical will be increased!" Zanya said.
"But since he's Dungeon World monster, his effect might still be same!" Daisuke said.
"Now, how many did you destroy?" Noboru asked. There were 5 cards in the Drop Zone as he begins to absorb the power. He sends his attack to Suzuha as he inflicted 5 damage.
"I cast! Chillax!" She paid one gauge as she blocked the attack.
"A-a-amazing! She's used a Counterspell!" Paruko announced, "Unbelievable! No damage, plus she's regained one life!" She said as Suzuha regained one life back, "Suzuha took Noboru's vicious attack without blinking an eye!"
"Terribly elegant, Lady Suzuha!" Sebastian complimented.
"Well done, backing me into a corner like this. My compliments..." Suzuha said as she was interrupted.
"Final Phase!" She was surprised when Noboru called out.
"Noboru has declared his Final Phase!" Paruko announced as Noboru held out his Impact card.
"I'll show you how a tiger fights!" Noboru said, "I cast!" He paid 3 gauge, "When my center is empty, and I have two Adventurer on my field, I can do a Link Attack with all of them using this Impact. And right now, El Quixote has a critical of 3!" He explained.
"A-a-a Linked Attack with all of them? That means 3 plus 1 plus 5." Paruko calculated as Noboru split his two weapon lances.
"Rise once more, to defeat the enemy! Fall Strash Formation!" Noboru jumps up as his monsters join together.
"U-u-unbelievable! It's a total of 12 damage! Talk about Overkill!" Paruko announced as Noboru performed a Link Attack as vortex aura hits Suzuha.
"What in the world?" She asked as the match is over.
At the Buddy Pit...
"Do it, Zanya!" Daisuke said.
"Now!" Zanya said.
The gate to the stage is opened as the Buddy Police has arrived.
"Freeze! The Buddy Police is here!" Takihara said as he came by with reinforcements, surrounding Noboru who came to Suzuha and Sebastian who are unconscious after the match.
"What? What's going on? Nobody told me about this!" Paruko asked after seeing the Buddy Police are here.
"I see." Noboru said as he sees Gao and Tetsuya.
"Noboru!" Gao yelled.
"You're well-prepared." Noboru said.
"Noboru! Why are you doing this?" Gao asked.
"But I'm no slouch either when it comes to being prepared." He said as he walks near Suzuha and pulls out the card. He smiled as it flashes, transporting himself away, along with Suzuha and her Core Gadget as they got away.
Everyone was surprised of what they saw.
"They vanished?" Takihara asked.
At the Buddy Pit...
"Damn it! We were so close!" Daisuke said as he clenched his fist.
"Rather than finding out where Jin is. I got Lady Suzuha kidnapped as well!" Zanya said.
"Jin will be fine." Megumi said, "He's someone who always repays his debt."
"I don't intend to stay in his debt either!"
"We need to save her. It'll twice for her to have her debt for me to repay." Daisuke said.
At the unknown location, Suzuha who was unconscious, is now woken up. She was shocked after seeing a statue that looks just like Jin Magatsu who was disappeared the other day.
"Jin Magatsu?" She asked, "What in the world is going on here?"
"I welcome you." Gratos greeted her, "You are the third." He reached his hand to her as he is going to control her, "Become a pawn of Master Yamigedo."
"Master Tasuku..." She said her final words as she lost her control.
Spotlight shown as Daisuke appears on stage.
"Welcome back to more Corner Time! This chapter has ended, the next one will be about finding another Omni Lord whereabouts and it looks like we'll have a reunion for old friends! For this chapter is one card, here's one now!" He clapped his hand twice as the card reveals itself, it shows a transparent form of a unknown Galactic Dragon appearing in front of Daisuke, protecting him, "This is the defensive spell known as Guidance of the Galactic Dragon. I can only use this card if I don't have a monster in the center and when my opponent's monster attacks me. I can also negate the attack and if I have a monster with "Galactic" in its name, I can place the top card of my deck into my gauge. It's good to protect myself and boost my gauge. I'm glad to have Galactics on the side. Give me a good review and give me good Galactic ideas please. Til then bye for now!" He waved goodbye as the screen faded black.
