Game End. Winner: Tasuku Ryuenji
Tasuku smiled for his victory.
At the Sky Home, everyone was amazed for Tasuku's victory.
Daisuke smiled as he looked at Tasuku, "Nice going, you really have grown stronger than I thought.
Gratos kneel down, "If you lose, you lose everything."
"What are you talking about?" Tasuku asked.
"An old memory. That's right. I rule over victory and conquest. The First Knight of the Apocalypse!" He stands up as he remembered everything, "You're the one who's going to lose everything!" Then he felt something as Jack and Tasuku saw who it was. It was Yamigedo who appeared at the top of the Sky Tower as it devoured Gratos.
At the hidden location, Sophia returns as she watches the cocoon.
"So you've returned." Gratos said, "It seems that you spend too much time acting on your own."
"The Buddy Police's security has gotten tighter. It's taking me longer to gather information, that's all." She said.
"Is that really all that's going on?" He asked.
"I am a faithful follower of Master Yamigedo. That is all that I am." She said But Gratos grabbed Sophia as he lifted her and slammed her to the pillar.
"If that's true, show me proof."
"Proof, you say?"
"I mean Eighth Omni Deity Lord, Grangadez." He requested.
"B-but... The Eighth Omni Deity Lord is..."
"He's sleeping deep under Cho-Hodaka and can't be reached, you told me." He recalled, "But I don't yet know of your true capabilities." He chuckled, "If he devours the Eighth Omni Deity Lord, Master Yamigedo will gain great power. Even if you should lose your life." He dropped her down to the ground, "It should be an honor, correct? Since you are a faithful follower? Call Shido."
Later, Shido who was just putting on his pants, was transported to the hidden location.
"Master Gratos!" Shido said, after quickly putting on his pants.
"Head to Cho-Hodaka with Sophia." Gratos said.
"All right..." Shido said as Gratos pull out another Hundred Demons card.
"Take this Hundred Demons with you. Awaken!" He toss it up as he awaken it, "Power of Darkness! Power of Evil! Power of the Hundred Demons!" It appeared near Shido as it arise in the smoke. In the smoke, shows a monster with a camera for its head, he wears a tux with a roll of film for the lining. He carries a lens on a stick.
"I'm One-Eyed Ninja, Refu! I will be taking some excellent shot!" He said while posing.
"I look forward to your success, Sophia Sakharov." Gratos said for the expectations.
At the Sky Home. Jack was resting in the incubator while he was still in Aster form. Suzaku is taking care of repairing Jack while Ryuusei is analyzing the condition. Later, they came back to the others with Jack finished with his maintenance.
"Count Dawn!" Gao said.
"Is Jack...?" Drum asked.
"Ryuusei analyzed him and the medical results shows that he's completely fine." Count Dawn.
"He can fight like he used to." Tasuku said.
"So now he's back in action!" Daisuke said.
"That's great!" Gao said as he was excited.
"I'm sorry to have caused you worry." Jack apologized as he turned to Ryuuga, "And I wanted to thank you and Daisuke for taking care of Tasuku while I was captured. If there's anything I can do for you..."
"No need. All that matters is that you're back now." Ryuuga said as Jack nodded.
"Who are you?" Tetsuya asked after seeing that he never met Suzaku before.
"Sixth Omni Storm Lord, Variable Cord." Suzaku introduced himself, "When I'm in this form, please call me Suzaku Kenran."
"You've caused us a lot of trouble." Count Dawn said.
"To make up for it, I'll give my all in helping you." He recommended.
"We're counting on you!" Gao said as Count Dawn stare with a mad look on his face.
"Isn't Third Omni Water Lord, Miserea supposed to be here?" He asked as he looked around.
"Kiri isn't here yet." Drum said.
"He said there was something he had to do to wake up Eighth Omni Deity Lord, Grangadez. Haruka told me that she stayed there to help Kiri for the time being." Gao said.
"Is that so?" He asked.
At the countryside of Cho-Hodaka, Sophia, Ges Shido, and Refu are at the mountain as Sophia is using her Disaster Force with all of her might.
"A-are you okay, Sophia?!" Ges Shido asked.
"Don't talk to me!" She yelled as it scared Ges Shido.
"Oh, that expression is wonderful! So good!" Refu said as he linked the image to Gratos.
At the hidden location. Gratos watches Sophia using her powers.
"So she's really getting serious."
At the Buddy Police HQ at the different location in Cho-Hodaka, an alarm has been triggered.
"Emergency message from Cho-Hodaka observation team!" A voice monitor said, "Abnormal Illumination confirmed!"
A portal has shown from above as a monster is descending down.
"Something's teleporting here!" Ges Shido said. Takihara then flies over to check the source.
"Could that be, Eighth Omni Deity Lord, Grangadez?!" He asked.
Gratos looks as he sees the Omni Lord, appearing at the mountain.
"Good. Now send him over here." Gratos ordered as Sophia wore off her Disaster Force as she fainted, "What's wrong?"
"S-sophia!" Ges Shido said.
"She's stopped moving!" Ges Shido said. Grangadez appears as he was a giant beast, comparing to Duel Sieger or Burn Nova, his body is mostly brown with red crystals on his chest and wings and his face. He was awaken when he was summoned as he opened his eyes.
"It looks like Eighth Omni Deity Lord, Grangadez, has finally awoken!" Refu said as he takes a snapshot, "This photo will be great!" As he takes a snapshot, Grangadez have opened his mouth to fire an attack as Refu was surprised. Ges Shido falls on ground as he was scared. Then Sophia woke up as she pull out a card and Grangadez fires his attack and she transported herself and Ges Shido out of here, leaving Refu behind as he was destroyed.
At the Student Council Office, Ges Shido panicked as they went back to the office.
"We're done for!" He yelled.
"Shut up!" She yelled as Ges Shido noticed, he was safe, "I'm going to rest a little." She said as she lay down on the couch as she fell unconscious.
"Th-this is..." Ges Shido looked, "Aibo Academy?!"
At the Sky Home, Gao and Drum barged in.
"Count!" Gao said as the others were here, "Did Grangadez really appeared?!" He asked.
"Does that mean he's been awakened?!" Drum asked.
"Not fully awaken." Daisuke said as they looked at the image as Grangadez is on a rampage, burning the forest.
"But it seems that's not quite the case." Tasuku said.
Grangadez walks as he unleashed his fiery attacks on the forest.
"Looks like Grangadez's going on a rampage." Daisuke said.
"Why is this happening?!" Gao asked.
"Presumably, the Eighth Omni Deity Lord has been forcibly dragged out from his underground lair by someone." Count Dawn explained.
"So in theory, Daisuke's half correct because it's not like he's fully awaken." Suzaku said, "It's like he's sleeping walking."
"This is the worst possible situation. Anyone would want to throw a fit if they were slapped awake from a deep slumber, yo." Asmodai said.
Grangadez burns the forest as he slowly walks into the city.
"Grangadez is advancing towards the Cho-Azumino City!" Takihara informed as the Buddy Police are assembling at the freeway, preparing for defending the city, "He's about to enter the residential district! This will be the final line of defense! No matter what it takes, we need to stop Grangadez!"
"Roger that!" The members agreed.
At the Buddy Police Tent...
"Activating Buddy Police Barrier!" Stella activated it, "We've trapped Grangadez!" On her computer, it shows Grangadez attacking.
"It's no good! The barrier isn't holding!" A member said as they screamed due to the attack.
"Mister Takihara!" She yelled as she hear an explosion.
"He's broken through the final line of defense!" Takihara said.
Then Kiri and Rouga came by with Haruka.
"Rouga, Haruka, I'll talk to Grangadez first. You better take care of her." Kiri said.
"Do as you like. Come on, kid. We need to get you somewhere safe." Rouga said.
"My name is Haruka!" Haruka yelled as she followed Rouga to somewhere safe.
"Grangadez!" Kiri went in front of him, "It's me! Third Omni Water Lord, Miserea!" Grangadez then stops as he is launching another attack at Kiri but he and Joker managed to dodge the attack.
"Hey, what's going on?" Rouga asked as he came back up to him.
"It seems that Grangadez isn't fully awaken yet. As a result, his memories of being an Omni Lord haven't returned to him. Naturally, he doesn't remember me either." Kiri explained.
"What?!"
"Of all the eight Omni Lords, Grangadez has the greatest power. Stopping him by force is impossible."
"Then, what will we do?" Rouga asked.
"Please distract Grangadez, just for a few seconds." He advised.
"Leave it to me." Rouga draws out a card, "Boulder Piercing Spear!" He equipped his item, "Cerberus A!"
"All right!" They are heading towards Grangadez to distract him. Grangadez fires his attack as they dodged it.
"Take this, you big lunk!" He strikes at Grangadez as it used his knuckles to block the attack. Then Cerberus A attacks too but couldn't break through as he was knocked away by Grangadez. While he was distracted, Kiri, who was above him as he transformed into Miserea.
"Now's my chance." He reached his hand to Grangadez's head, "Return to your card! Grangadez!" He used his attack as Grangadez was engulfed in light aura as he went into Miserea.
"He did it." Rouga said.
"All right! Kiri did it!" Haruka cheered. Kiri then reverted back to his human form as he carried the card of Grangadez. He flew towards Rouga.
"Rouga. Please. Fight with me!" Kiri requested.
At the Sky Home...
"Wow! Grangadez's disappeared, yo!" Tetsuya was amazed.
"No, he's too powerful to be like that so..." Daisuke said.
"He's right. It's more likely that he's returned to his card." Zanya said as Tsukikage agreed, 'Nin!'
"It's Kiri! Kiri did it!" Gao said.
"That's our Third Omni Water Lord, all right!" Drum said.
"Now we can breathe a little easier." Tasuku said.
"Since that has been resolved. We're safe now." Daisuke said.
"It looks like that's not the case." Suzaku said as it confused them and saw the screen of the image of Rouga and Kiri.
"What's going on? Are they going to do something?" Haruka asked as she watches them from above.
"You're telling me to fight you? What does this mean?" Rouga asked.
"I was too naive. I thought that if I could return him to his card, we could figure something out. But Grangadez isn't fully awakened yet. His anger has not been quelled, and he's trying to fight. And his combative spirit is affecting me powerfully as well." Kiri explained while holding the card.
"Let go of the card, Kiri!"
"I can't. Both and Grangadez and I can't think of anything other than fighting. All I can do is channel his energy to fight through Buddyfighting. At this rate, we will end up using our powers in a wrong way."
"The wrong way?" Rouga asked as he remembered something like that to Kyoya for his abusive powers.
"That's why I'm begging you. Senior Aragami!" He begged.
"I understand. I'll hit you so hard that you're jolted awake! Let's Buddyfight!" Rouga said.
"Warp Successful!" Paruko transported herself at Cho-Hodaka as she was in the middle of the forest, "Wherever there are Buddyfights, you'll find Paruko Nanana!" She came out as she was wearing her pajamas and she doesn't wear her glasses, "Tonight, wh-wh-wh-what's this? It's Kiri Hyoryu, recently revealed to be the Third Omni Water Lord. Facing off against Rouga Aragami! We're coming to you live, from Cho-Hodaka!"
"Kiri and Rouga are fighting?" Gao asked.
"What on earth is going on?" Drum asked.
"Looks like a challenge. Maybe it has something to do with Grangadez." Daisuke said.
"The Power of Ace will destroy you! Dark Luminize! Ace Defeat!"
"Fierce power in a deep sleep, awaken now! Luminize! Deity Lord Awakening!"
"Buddyfight!"
"Raise the Flag!"
"Danger World!"
"Danger World!"
(R: 10/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/None)
(K: 10/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/None)
It made Rouga confused, "Aren't you the Omni Lord of Dungeon World?"
"Grangadez is the Omni Lord of Danger World. So..." Kiri said.
Rouga smiled, "A Danger World battle, huh? Just what I wanted!"
"First move goes to Rouga!" Paruko announced.
"Miserea is being affected by Grangadez's powerful instinct for battle." Count Dawn said.
"Looks like his anger at having his sleep disturbed is still raging." Suzaku said.
"If Grangadez doesn't return to his senses soon, things are going to get really bad." Asmodai said.
"Kiri..." Gao said, "Senior Aragami..."
Back at the battle...
"I cast! Demon Slay Come Forth!" He gained one gauge.
"Rouga increased his gauge and turns over 3 top cards in his deck!" Paruko announced as Rouga's hand flipped as it revealed two monsters and one item as the monster cards are destroyed, leaving the item behind, "He adds Demon Slay card to his hand!"
"Supreme Ji, Asura Demon Slay. I equip it and attack!" He equipped his item.
"Come at me!" Kiri said as he prepares for the attack.
"Supreme Ji! Asura Demon Slay!" He inflicted 2 damage.
The Move End
(R: 10/ Item: Asura Demon Slay/ G: 4: None/None/None)
(K: 8/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/None)
Your Move
"Draw. Charge and Draw. Here and now, I call upon the Deity Lord. I cast! Ritual of Deity Lord Descend!" The fire from his Core Gadget burst out as the fire creates an orb, "Oh great deity who sleeps in the earth over distant time." Two gauge were paid, "Let your powerful body and pure soul descend upon this land!"
At the Sky Home..."
"What is this spell?" Tasuku asked.
"By discarding one card from your hand and paying 2 gauge, you can call a size 3 Duel Dragon from your deck without cost." Count Dawn explained.
"That's one powerful spell." Daisuke said.
"In other words..."
In the fiery tornado.
"Descend! Eighth Omni Deity Lord, Grangadez!" He regained one life for the Buddy Gift. The fiery tornado exploded as Grangadez reveals himself.
"It's a spell that lets him call Grangadez!" Count Dawn said.
"Kiri has called his Buddy! Just what kind of monster is this?!" Paruko announced as she pulled out her Takoscope, "I'll use the Takoscope to check and check! Eighth Omni Deity Lord, Grangadez. Eighth Omni Deity Lord? So that means..." She became surprised, "It's an Omni Lord! The Eighth Omni Lord has finally appeared before us! Attribute, Duel Dragon. Size 3. 10000 power, 5000 defense, and a critical of 2. Abilities include Move and Double Attack!"
Haruka was surprised of seeing this, "He called out an Omni Lord..."
"And it has 3 soul to boot! He's strong! Too strong!" Paruko announced, "However! If he leaves the field, Lifelink will inflict 3 damage to the player!"
"I set the spell, Dangerous REIZI! And I equip Boulder Shattering Spear!" Kiri set a spell and equips an item, "Here I come, Rouga!"
"Come!" Rouga said as Grangadez attacks Rouga, inflicting 2 damage and he launched another one for a Double Attack.
"It's Grangadez's Double Attack!" Paruko announced as another 2 damage was inflicted.
"It's not over yet!" Kiri strikes at Rouga, inflicting 2 damage.
"And now, it's the Move End!" Paruko announced.
"No. Thanks to REIZI's ability, I add a card to Grangadez's soul. And now, it's the Move End." Kiri said as he paid one gauge and the card went into Grangadez's soul.
"Wh-wh-what's this?! Now he has 4 cards in the soul!" Paruko announced.
"In other words, as long as Dangerous REIZI is set, every turn the cards in his soul will increase!" Zanya said.
"The more cards in his soul, the difficult will be to defeat Grangadez." Daisuke said.
"It's an impenetrable wall of defense." Tasuku said.
"Rouga increases the cards in his hand using Survival Chance!" Paruko announced, "He increases his life points using Invigorating Breath!" Rouga regained 4 life.
"If Rouga Aragami loses, Grangadez's battle instinct will be magnified and will even take over Miserea's consciousness." Count Dawn said.
"No way!" Gao said.
"To control two rampaging Omni Lords, we'll have to work with all of the remaining Omni Lords."
"If that were to happen, I'm sure we wouldn't be able to escape uninjured." Suzaku said.
"Then what about sealing Yamigedo?" Gao asked.
"That would be impossible in that situation."
"He calls Armorknight Eagle to the right!" Paruko announced as Rouga called him out, "And..."
"I place Eagle on the field into this guy's soul, and call him to the right!" Rouga calls out as Armorknight Eagle transforms into a different monster, "Armorknight Archangel!" He calls out an angel wearing a grey armor, he has spikes on his right shoulder, halo above his head.
"This guy has Double Attack too!" Paruko announced.
"Move, Grangadez." Kiri moved Grangadez from the right to the center.
"His opponent takes up a defensive formation!"
"It's no use. Right now, Archangel's power has increased to 5000 thanks to his soul!" Rouga said as Archangel makes his attack.
"I cast! Battle Spirit Unite!" He cast as he gave Grangadez a boost.
"He used a Counterspell to increase decrease!" Paruko announced.
"I cast! Battle Spirit Unite!" Rouga cast the same spell as it gave Archangel a boost.
"Not to be outdone, Rouga raise the power even higher! Neither player is giving an inch!" Paruko announced as Archangel and Grangadez throws their punch to attack. And with the sudden impact, Grangadez's destroyed first. But came back due to Soulguard.
"Grangadez uses his soul to revive and Counterattack!" Paruko announced as another punches thrown, with the sudden impact, Archangel's destroyed, "But! Archangel also uses his Soulguard to revive!" Archangel is revived due to Soulguard.
"A Link attack, with me and Archangel!" Rouga said as they attacked and destroyed Grangadez.
"Grangadez is destroyed!" Paruko announced.
"Penetrate!"
"The Penetrate damage hits its mark!" Paruko announced as Kiri was inflicted with 2 damage, "But! He's revived once more! He's destroyed Archangel with a Counterattack!" Grangadez revives as he hits Archangel and destroys him, "Talk about giving as good as you can get!"
The Move End
(R: 8/ Item: Asura Demon Slay/ G: 1: None/None/None)
(K: 6/ Item: Boulder Shattering Spear/ G: 0: None/Grangadez/None)
At the Sky Home...
"Kiri cast several spells one after another." Paruko announced, "He increased his gauge and his life points. He adds one card to Grangadez's soul again and increases his power by 5000! He moves Grangadez to the right and use Double to get Rouga down to 4 life!" Then Kiri attacks as he inflicted 2 damage, "Kiri inflicts a total of 6 damage this turn, and thanks to spell Dangerous REIZI, the cards in Grangadez's soul increase once again!"
The Move End
(R: 2/ Item: Asura Demon Slay/ G: 1: None/None/None)
(K: 10/ Item: Boulder Shattering Spear/ G: 3: None/Grangadez/None)
"Now! It's your move!" Kiri said.
At the Sky Home...
"He's back four cards in the soul, yo!" Tetsuya panicked.
"On top of that, Rouga is down to 2 life. There's no way he can win." Asmodai said.
"No! Look at his eyes! Rouga hasn't given up on this fight yet!" Gao said.
"I cast! Survival Chance!" Rouga cast.
"Rouga increased the cards in his hand!" Paruko announced. Rouga drew a card as he smiled.
"Here it is. I've been waiting for this." Rouga shows his Buddy card, "I pay one gauge and Buddycall Armorknight Cerberus A to the right!" He Buddycalled as he regained one life and he raised his item, "Here we go!"
"All right!" Cerberus jumps as he flies around and head towards to Rouga's item.
"Demonic Equip Combination!"
"Cerberus A has been added to Asura Demon Slay's soul!" Paruko announced, "Its critical increases!"
"I call Armorknight Battleborg to the left!" He called out a robotic armor monster with gatling on his back and on his left hand. His eye is one in the center, "I call Armorknight Asura to the right!" He called out a red demon with three faces on the head with many arms that carries weapons as he paid one gauge to call it out.
"If the fighter has 5 life or less, and he is equipped with a weapon with soul, I gain Double Attack. That time is now!" Battleborg explained.
Asura laughed, "My ability is. If two cards are put from the top of the deck to the Drop Zone, I can destroy one monster with 5000 defense or less!" He struck at Grangadez as he destroyed him.
"But Grangadez has Soulguard!" Paruko announced as Grangadez is revived.
"Move." Grangadez has been moved to the center again.
"This is where the real fight begins! Attack Grangadez!" Rouga said as Battleborg uses Grangadez with his laser attack and destroyed it, but it came by due to Soulguard.
"He's revived thanks to Soulguard!" Paruko announced as Battleborg attacks a second time as Grangadez revives again, "He revives again!"
"I'll hit you as many times as it takes! Until you come to your senses!" Rouga said as Asura used his arrow to attack Grangadez and destroyed him but he came back due to Soulguard, "He's finally out of cards in his soul!"
"This is the finishing blow!" He raised his item to attack.
"I cast! Battle Spirit Infusion!" He cast as Grangadez's eyes glowed as he was surging with energy. When Rouga attacks, it failed.
"Grangadez's power and defense have increased by 4000!" Paruko announced as Rouga was surprised, "It's surpassed Asura Demon Slay's power!" Rouga clicked himself for disappointment, "It seems impossible to defeat Grangadez! It's all over for Rouga now!"
At the Sky Home...
"We have no choice. Everyone, prepare to launch!" Count Dawn ordered the operational plan, "We'll use all our strength to hold down Grangadez! You're going to have to assist us."
"I guess it can't be helped." Suzaku said.
"Wait, Count Dawn!" Gao said as he stopped him and smiled, "I don't think we'll be needing to do that!"
"I told you already, didn't I?" Rouga asked, "Until you come to your senses, I'll hit you as many times as it takes! I cast! Super Strength Replenishment!" An electric energy is surging in the card as he paid one life and gained 3 gauge. It surprised Kiri.
"What are you trying to do?!" Kiri asked.
"It should be impossible for Rouga to use his Impact, Ultimate Battle Skill, MEGA Demon Slay!" Paruko announced.
"Final Phase. I cast!" The dark surge he released is surging in his item, "True Ultimate Battle Skill, GIGA Demon Slay!" The image in the back of him shows Rouga in his evil rage form, "With this, Asura Demon Slay can attack twice, and gains an extra critical!"
"Th-that means..." Paruko announced as she tried to count her fingers for how many will it be, "The current critical is 5?" Then she got surprised.
"Come to your senses! Eighth Omni Deity Lord, Grangadez!" He then attacks as he sliced it in half as he was destroyed. Due to Lifelink, Kiri takes 3 damage.
"It can't be! In one turn, he's destroyed Grangadez and his four-card soul!" Kiri said.
"Penetrate!" He finished him off as the game ended.
"That was magnificent, Rouga." He lost 5 life.
(R: 2/ Item: Asura Demon Slay/ G: 0: Battleborg/None/Asura)
(K: 0/ Item: Boulder Shattering Spear/ G: 1: None/None/None)
Game End. Winner: Rouga Aragami
At the house near the lake, Kyoya who was wearing his bathrobe, watched the match as he zoomed in on Rouga, "Rouga. You've gotten stronger again." He put it down as he looked at the sunset, "But... If you want to be my friend, you need to get even stronger."
Back at the forest...
"You're going to join my deck, Grangadez. I need to become stronger, for the sake of my friend." Rouga requested as Grangadez growled for the translation, "On one condition? What sore of condition?" He asked as Grangadez growled for the translation, "That's right. You have great power. Those who have power must use it properly, you say." Rouga thinks of his decision as he decided, "Very well. I will aid in sealing Yamigedo." He agreed as Kiri and Haruka smiled.
At the hidden location, Sophia arrived, including Ges Shido.
"I'm terribly sorry. I was unable to retrieve Eighth Omni Deity Lord, Grangadez." She apologized as she bowed, "I was not powerful enough."
"I'm sorry, too." Ges Shido apologized.
"Hm. So you survived and returned. I assumed that you'd been burned to death by him." Gratos assumed, "Well, it doesn't matter. This has allowed us to confirm all of the Omni Lords have their power. All that's left..." He turned to the cocoon, "Is to make victory and conquest ours." He laughed evilly.
Spotlight shown as Daisuke and Ryuusei came to the stage.
"Hey! Welcome back to more Corner Time! This is the end of this chapter! The next one will have two unexpected visitors in this one. Anyways, here's one card for this chapter!" He snapped his finger as a card shows up, it shows a wormhole in space as Aquari Veil is transforming into pure energy, pouring into the wormhole, "This is the Galactic Horoscope. A spell card. By paying 2 gauge, I can discard as many cards with "Grand Galacticarms" in their name from my hand and draw an amount of cards equal to that amount! I can only cast this card once per turn! "
"Hold on, isn't that a waste to do that?" Ryuusei asked.
"You never know. Give me a review of what you think and give me good Galactic ideas! Til then bye for now!" He waved goodbye as the screen faded black.
