Chapter 43: The Petrification of Chotokyo

O-Yamigedo landed on the Fighting Stage as it begins to sprout its thread, "O-Yamigedo has attached itself to Aibo Academy! He's started to spew some thread-like substance! What does this all mean?!"

"It's a cocoon." Tasuku knows what it is.

"Is he planning..." Daisuke said.

"Yeah. O-Yamigedo is trying to make a cocoon!"

"Then that means..." Burn Nova said.

"He intends to evolve further." Count Dawn said. The thread continues to spew as the school is somehow turning to stone.

"U-u-u-unbelievable! Everything that threads touch is turning to stone!" Paruko announced after witnessing the environmental state.

"We have to stop him!" Gao said.

"I hear you, yo!" Tetsuya said.

"We won't let you!" Noboru said as Inverse Fiends appeared in front of them, "We'll settle our scores after Master Yamigedo achieve his final form and awakens." He said as they fly down to their master.

"Wait!" Gao yelled, "Hey!" Then Gao noticed the thread as he avoid touching it. O-Yamigedo continues to spew for his cocoon as he completed wrapped himself into a cocoon.

The newscopter came as it went around the area of the cocoon.

"Everyone, can you see the terrible sight before us?" Ms. Hanana announced, "The colossal monster that crashed in Cho-Shibuya and headed towards Aibo Academy has spewed thread and covered itself, creating a giant cocoon. What's terrifying is that that the giant cocoon continues to spread out threads, each of which has the power to turn anything it touches into stone." She explained as the petrifaction spreads through town, "Already, everything within a 5 km radius of Aibo Academy has been turned to stone. The government has responded to this situation by urging Chotokyo residents to evacuate or take refuge in underground shelters."

"Ms. Tamako! The Self Defense Forces have requested us to take shelter!" The pilot said.

"All right. Let's head back." She said as she makes her announcement, "In a few moments, the Self Defense Forces' helicopter attack will commence. Will this operation succeed? Let's hope it does." The newscopter then leaves to take shelter.

At the Sky Home. The whole members are starting a meeting.

"Count Dawn! Why can't we participate in this operation?!" Zanya asked.

"The situation has changed." Count Dawn said, "Of course we still need to seal Yamigedo, but it's been decided that stopping that giant cocoon's petrification of the Earth takes priority."

"But isn't that far too dangerous?" Kiri asked.

"Right now, it looks like Yamigedo is sleeping inside his cocoon. The petrification threads are what we have to beware of." Count Dawn said.

"So all we can do is bite our nails and watch?" Drum asked as Gao clenched our fist.

"Ikazuchi." Gao is still worried about his friend as he remembered Ikazuchi got absorbed by O-Yamigedo.

"Ikazuchi!" Gao yelled as O-Yamigedo starts to move again.

"O-Yamigedo has started moving once more!" Paruko announced, "It's O-Yamigedo again!" The skin burst out as Ikazuchi came out as his appearance is difference, his skin is purple.

"Ikazuchi!" Gao is relived to see his friend again.

"I have become one with Ikazuchi, body and soul." Ikazuchi voice is different as he was possessed by O-Yamigedo.

"One with Ikazuchi, body and soul?" Gao asked.

"I will live together with my Buddy, Ikazuchi. And I will devour every living thing in this world!"

Gao felt frustrated after seeing his friend get possessed by his own. Daisuke looked at Gao.

'Gao... I know how you feel.'

"Check it out. Looks like it's about to begin." Count Dawn said as they looked at the orb to see the Self Defense Force in action.

At Cho-Shibuya, the Self Defense Forces are heading towards the cocoon.

"Squad Leader speaking. Our attack has been authorized. We will begin our charge. As planned, we will approach as close as possible before firing our rockets. All units should watch out for threads to avoid petrification!" Squad Leader commenced a plan.

"S-Squad leader! Look at that!" A soldier pilot said as he noticed something. They saw Buddyfight cards as Hundred Demons were called out.

"Wh-what is that?!" Squad Leader asked.

"Wh-what's this?!" Count Dawn asked as he was surprised.

Multiple Hundred Demons were summoned as they were protecting the cocoon.

"I-illegal monsters!" Ms. Hanana said as she and the cameraman were at the launchpad at the rooftop, "A terrifying number of monsters have appeared at Aibo Academy, as if protecting the cocoon!" She announced.

"That Yamigedo. Isn't he asleep inside the cocoon?" Count Dawn wondered.

Bloody Chainsaw Dragon roared as he charges in to attack. The others followed to attack.

"This is bad. A helicopter's no match for a monster's speed!" Tasuku said.

"They'll get crashed down!" Daisuke said.

They attacked but then a Buddy Monster came as it fires its attack and destroyed them. It was Ultimate CardBurn who came into action. Takihara and the Buddy Police came with monsters from Hero World to help fight.

"It's the Buddy Police!" Gao said.

"There are so many of them!" Drum said.

"Looks like the cavalries have arrived for this moment." Daisuke said.

"We're counting you!" Zanya said.

"To all Buddy Police Officers! Our mission is to eliminate the illegal monsters and clear a path for the helicopters!" Cardburn explained.

"Here we go!" Takihara said.

"Yes sir!" All Buddy Police said as they start their battle against Hundred Demons. Many Assault Leaders shoots at monsters and many Lightning Chasers attacked with their motorbikes. Heroic Blader battled against Chainsaw as he destroyed him. Then Core Tech Five combined together.

"Einder!"

"Zweider!"

"Dreider!"

"Complete! Infinite Robo, Mathematics!" Together they used the weapon to destroyed them at once, "Four Arithmetical Operations Slash!"

"That was wonderful!" Zanya said.

"That's our senior officers for you!" Tetsuya said.

"All right! We're doing great! Keep pushing!" Takihara said as he saw something, "What was that?!" He saw something coming from below as it was Venom Nova, coming towards them.

Drum is surprised, "That's...!"

Venom Nova swings around as in spiraling attack as it hits Ultimate Cardburn and destroyed him.

"Ultimate Card Burn!" Takihara yelled.

"Big Bro!" Ricky said.

"That's Venom Nova!" Ban recognized.

Then Kage Ziun appeared as it waves its punch as it destroyed many monsters.

"Kage Ziun!" Zanya recognized.

Then Death Asmodai, Dark Miserea, Twilight Count appears as they shoots their attacks, destroying every monster in sight.

"Dark Miserea." Kiri said.

"Twilight Count." Count Dawn said.

"That knockoff of me." Asmodai said.

Then the rest of the Inverse Omni Lords appeared as they all came together.

"Devilgadez and Catastrophe Cord." Rouga said.

"And Crazed Tenbu, too!" Drum said.

"What bad timing for them to be here." Daisuke said.

"All of the Inverse Omni Lords are assembled." Tasuku said.

Catastrophe Cord then used it Dragonarms as it used its Typhoon to destroyed the monsters in sight. Crazed Tenbu used his Howling Fire as he burns them away.

"A-All of the Buddy Police's monsters!" Drum said.

"All of them eliminated instantly!" Ryuusei said.

"This is unbelievable. They may look like us, but their powers are immeasurable." Count Dawn said.

The helicopters are still in the air.

"Are you all right, Buddy Police?" Squad Leader asked.

"Don't worry about us! It's important to attack the cocoon!" Takihara said.

"Understood." The helicopter units are at the cocoon, "We're right in front of the cocoon. Firing!" They about to make aim.

"Squad Leader! Below us!" The pilot said as they saw something below. It was the threads as it was heading towards them, "The threads are attacking us!"

"Evasive maneuver, now!" They tried to avoid, however, the threads got them first.

"Th-The attack helicopters!" Takihara said. Then Takihara saw Mathematics as it was caught by Devilgadez and was getting pulled apart. Devilgadez roars as it pulls off Mathematics's arms as it fires its attack, destroying Mathematics instantly, "Mathematic!"

"O-Office Takihara!" A Buddy Police member said as Takihara saw the threads are coming towards them.

"We've got to dodge those threads!" Takihara said as he shoots the threads to avoid touching them. The Buddy Police members are shooting as well but the threads got to some of them first, "No!"

"Mister Takihara!" Gao yelled.

Takihara got caught by the threads as all have fallen to the ground, turning to stone.

Everyone was surprised of what they saw.

"Total annihilation." Rouga said.

"No, they still have vital signs." Kiri said, "They've been turned to stone, but they're still alive."

"Which means we still have a chance to save them if we have the time." Daisuke said as Gao noticed that the Inverse Omni Lords are together as they revealed the astral projection of Ikazuchi who is possessed by O-Yamigedo.

"Th-That's..." Gao said.

At the shelter.

"The Defense Force and Buddy Police joint operation has ended in failure. It appears that the petrification surrounding the giant cocoon is progressing. Will there be a second operation? So far, there have been no further announcement from the government." Ms. Hanana announced. The Buddy Police Youth are in the shelter, making their preparations.

"Gao. This is the deck you asked for." Baku said as he handed Gao an improved deck.

"Thank you, Baku." Gao takes it.

"That's the best deck-building I can do right now. If only I had a little more time." Baku said.

"Sorry to ask such a big favor. I'll make good use of it. Especially with the cards that Daisuke gave me." He recalled the time.

At the hallway in the shelter. Daisuke is discussing something with Gao.

"Huh? You have something for me to use?" Gao asked.

"Yeah." Daisuke nodded as he pulled out three cards and showed it to Gao. Gao and Drum were surprised.

"Whoa! What are these?" Drum asked.

"These are Dragonic Armors, created by Armordeity, Dynamis. I'm giving these to you."

"Is it okay for us to use these? I mean these are Dragonic Armors after all." Gao said.

"Don't worry, it works for others." Daisuke said.

"But why would you wanna give away something that was made by Dynamis?" Drum asked.

"My deck has already become a Star Dragon World deck so I figure I can give to someone who would use it."

"Thanks, Daisuke! I'll make use of these! And I promise to not let you down!" He raised his fist.

"Yeah, thank you, Gao." He fist bumped.

"Now I got to head back to the Sky Room right away." Gao said.

"Gao, are you sure?" Baku asked as Gao is confused, "I heard that Count Dawn told the Buddy Police Youth Members to head to the shelters for just one hour." He recalled, "But that's not so they can fine-tune their decks, is it?"

"Are you sure you don't need to talk to Hana and your family?" Kuguru asked.

Gao chuckled, "Well, you see... It would be awkward to see them again."

"Hey! I found Big Brother Gao!" Hanako said as she and her family founded him, "Dad! Mom! Grandma! They're over here!" Gao felt nervous after seeing his family again.

"Mom. Dad." He chuckled nervously, "Um. That is.."

"I just got a message from the Buddy Police." Suzumi said.

"Go out there and fight. There are people who have put all their faith in you. So if you want to help everyone no matter the cost, we won't stop you." Takeshi said, "We want to cheer you on."

"Thank you, Dad, Mom." Gao thanked.

"Now, about you trying to sneak off because it would be awkward to tell us..." Suzumi recalled as they bow in forgiveness.

"We're really sorry!" They apologized.

At the Sky Home. Zanya got his message from his father as he sees him on his phone.

"Father?" Zanya asked.

"Zanya. Right now, the police are committing all their forces to supporting the Defense Forces. I'm sorry, but I can't meet with you right now." The Commissioner said.

"I understand that. I was just surprised that you called me, Father." Zanya said.

"I've been apprised of the situation. No matter what happens, be conscious of your duty as a Buddy Police Youth Member, and carry out your sense of justice."

"Yes, sir!"

"Commissioner Kisaragi!" Zanya heard another voice in the phone as it was a police officer, speaking to Commissioner, "Underground Shelter 533 is awaiting your orders!"

"I understand. I'll head there right away. I'm hanging up now. Oh, and one more thing, Zanya." He said as Zanya wondered, "I'm proud of you, son." He said as Zanya ended the call and bowed.

"Zanya Kisaragi, heading into combat! Father!"

At the dining room of the Sky Home.

"Please, we're begging you!" Sebastian and the maids begged to Tetsuya as he was surprised.

"Wh-What's up?! This is so sudden!" Tetsuya said.

"Mistress Suzuha is everything to us! She is our reason for living!" The red maid said.

"If Mistress Suzuha were to disappear, we couldn't go on living!" The greed maid said.

"Please, please bring her home to us!" Sebastian said as they bowed lower for their serious situation.

"It'll be a way to thank them for all they do for us. Say yes, Tetsuya." Asmodai recommended for the consideration as it surprised Tetsuya.

"W-Well, I wish I could, but..."

"It'll be fine. If the two of us join forces, we'll have an overwhelming victory, and no mistake! Isn't that right?" He asked.

"Did you just say 'the two of us'?" Rucy came out as he asked the question. It made Asmodai nervous as he decide to change it.

"Did I say that, Tetsuya?"

"All three of you! I'm begging you, raised your faces!" Tetsuya recommended as they lifted their faces.

"If the three of us..." Asmodai said.

"Join forces together!" Rucy said.

"We'll have a decisive victory, and no mistake!" Tetsuya said as they posed for the sign of 'Don't Worry!', "You can rely on us!"

"Thank you so much!" Sebastian said.

At the shelter. Daisuke was getting ready for his battle, as he was about to put his deck in, he felt a jolt from his hand as he felt the pain.

He grunted, "Damn that Ikazuchi..." He remembered the time when he tried to activate the Future Force as Ikazuchi shocked his hand. He tried to move his hand a little to see if it still moves, "I don't know if I can still do this."

"Big Brother Daisuke?" Daisuke heard Haruka as he turned and saw her and his mom, "Haruka. Mom."

"I heard you're going out to fight, aren't you?" His mom said.

"Yeah." He nodded as he looked at his hand.

"Is something wrong with your hand there?" She asked.

Daisuke looked as he turned, "No, it's not."

"Liar." Haruka said, "Your hand's hurt, right?" She asked.

"Haruka..."

"That Ikazuchi guy did something bad to it. Why didn't you go to the hospital or something?"

"It's only a mild shock, it's not that bad." Daisuke said.

"Let me see." His mom said as she walks to him to check on the hand.

"No, I told you it's fine."

"Listen. If you keep saying it's fine, it won't make it better. Now let me see." She looked at Daisuke's hand as he felt the numbness, "I suppose you should go and battle. But don't overdo it. Once this is over, go see a doctor."

Daisuke sighed, "All right, Mom. I understand."

"Hey." Haruka walks to him, "Can I see your hand?" She requested as he showed her his hand. She pulled something from her pocket as she wrapped around his hand, it was her handkerchief that is red with a black dragon mark on it, "I made it myself! I wanted to give you as a gift, but I wanted to do this now!"

Daisuke looked amazed when he looked at the handkerchief, he then smiled, "Haruka..." He kneel down as he hugged down, "Thank you. I'll be back. I promise, we'll make the time once this is all over."

"Yeah! Thank you so much, Big Brother Daisuke!" She hugged back. Their mom watched them as she shed a tear and wiped it.

"You really have mature so much, Daisuke." Then she looked around, "Say, where's Ryuuga?" She asked.

"Right here!" Ryuuga said as he came out of the deck, "I'm here!"

"Ryuuga. Don't ruined the moment." Daisuke said.

"That's rude, Daisuke." She said as she rubbed Ryuuga's head, "Thank you for taking care of my son for so long."

Ryuuga chuckled, "Well, I have been helping him for so long."

"Then please take good care of him."

"Understand!"

"Wh-What did you say?!" Count Dawn asked as he was surprised by a requested from Kazane with her mom, "You're asking me to take you along with me, as my Buddy?! Ridiculous! I flew here in a hurry because you said you had something important to discuss!"

"It's not ridiculous! I'm totally serious!" Kazane said with her serious look on her face, "I already talked about with Mom and Blade. I want to be your Buddy, Mister Omni Lord! I want to save Kem-Kem, no matter what!"

"Th-This is out of the question! I'm leaving now!" Count Dawn said as he turns to leave.

"Please wait! Count Dawn!" Blade said as Count Dawn turned back and stopped, "I'm well aware that this is ill-mannered. But please, won't you listen to Kazane's request?"

"I can't believe you're saying this nonsense as well! You're Kazane's Buddy monster, aren't you?!" Count Dawn asked.

"Exactly! If I could, I would go along with Kazane. But unfortunately, I am no Omni Lord, and I am from a different world than you. Kazane wishes to help you, from the bottom of her heart. Please, accept her feelings." Blade explained as he requested.

"Mister Omni Lord, please! I promise I'll be useful!" Kazane begged.

"You should take her along, Dawnie." Her mother considered, "My kids' really handy to have around!"

"That's not the issue!" Count Dawn complained as he calmed down and thinks, "Sir Bladewing Phoenix. I shall be borrowing your Buddy. I promise on my title of Seventh Omni Earth Lord that I will do everything in my power to protect Kazane Fujimiya." He swore as he held his emblem. Then Kazane hugged him.

"Yay! It's a pleasure to work with you, Mister Parasol!" She said excitedly.

"P-Parasol?!"

"K-Kazane! That's ill-mannered!" Blade said as Kazane's mother laughed.

Later, at sunset. Suzaku watches the cocoon.

"What are you doing?" Tasuku asked as Suzaku saw him coming in his Buddy Skill with Jack.

"I was just gazing at the cocoon. It's unusual, after all." Suzaku said.

"We'll be starting the operation soon. We'll move to the location using the Sky Room, so we'd prefer you to stay there and wait." Tasuku explained as he advised.

"Good grief. Your words certainly are prickly. I suppose once one has lost trust, it's not so easy to regain it." He said as he still remembered that Tasuku hates him for stealing Jack and ruined the future. Then he descended down to the Sky Room.

"Tasuku. Do you really intend to fight alongside him?" Jack asked, "I can't trust him."

"I feel the same way, Jack. And Daisuke does too since he destroyed Ryuusei just for getting his way. But we want to save..." He looked at cocoon, "The entire world."

At night...

"The petrification threads have only turned the surface of the planet to stone." Neginoyama said as all the groups are in position for the operation, "In other words, everything underground is free of the petrification effect. I'm sure you all know that Aibo Academy has an underground cave system." They looked as they saw an entrance that shows a door with red half and blue color with A in the center, "This is one of the entrances. If you go through there, you can walk directly under Aibo Academy while avoiding the petrification threads. However, the entrance will soon be sealed up by the petrification threads." He turned to the group, "Knowing that, are you still determined to go?" He asked for their opinions.

"The petrification caused by Yamigedo's cocoon is spreading even as we speak. We can't delay." Count Dawn said, "This time, we cannot fail. If that petrification is left unchecked, it will cover the entire planet. But if we join forces, we will be able to seal Yamigedo for certain! Or rather, we must."

"What about you, Daisuke? You sure you want to come with us?" Tasuku asked Daisuke.

"I may not have an Omni Lord like you guys. But I want to do what I can to help. That's why I wanted to do this because of the future. I want to change it for the better." Daisuke said.

"Agreed." Tasuku nodded.

Buddy Skill On

They activated their Buddy Skills as they are prepared to enter to the underground caves.

"Let's go, Gao! Daisuke!" Tasuku said.

"All right, Senior Tasuku!" Gao said.

"Let's do this, Partner!" Daisuke said.

"Let us go forth." Kiri said.

"Yes." Rouga said.

"Time to roll, Ricky?" Ban asked.

"You got it, kii!" Ricky said. Then Kazane activated her Buddy Skill as she got bat wings on her shoes.

"Thank you, Mister Parasol!" She thanked Count Dawn happily.

"Yes, yes." He turned as he blushed a little.

"Allow me to guide you." Neginoyama said as he got onto Tetsuya's Banana.

"We're counting on you, yo!" Tetsuya said.

"Looks like we're all ready now." Asmodai said.

"Time to go to work!" Count Dawn said.

"Yeah!" They all headed inside the entrance.

At the Buddy Police HQ at the different location. Stella was there, locating on visual.

"Buddy Police Youth are on the move!" A female operative said.

"Good luck, everyone!" Stella said as Count Dawn's bat was next to her.

At the underground cave, Sophia and Ges Shido noticed the intruders on her orb.

"As we thought, they're coming." Sophia said.

"Those guys are nothing to worry about." Noboru said as he Jin, and Sakuya are coming to them.

"We can give them a warm welcome." Jin recommended.

"Who knows? We might give them a parting gift." Sakuya said.

"We'll crush them thoroughly!" Genma said as he, Suzuha, and Kemura are coming.

"Very well. We will all face them head-on. Follow me." Sophia said.

"You think you can just decide things on your own?" Davide asked as he was standing on the pillar, "Did I ever say I'd be working with you guys?" He asked, "Don't make plans like you think you're in charge, Miss Spasibo!" He complained as he smirked.

"What did you say?" Sophia asked as she starts to get mad. It freaked Ges Shido as he tries to calm them down.

"Both of you, stop it!" Ges Shido said.

"Silence!" He heard a voice as Ikazuchi who is possessed by Yamigedo as he used astral projection to discuss them something, "I am Yamigedo. In order to further evolve my body, I must remain still. Do not permit the Omni Lords near my body. Use the Inverse Omni Lords that I gave you to defeat the Omni Lords! The losers will be turned to stone, no matter who they may be."

"So if we lose, we'll be turned to stone?" Ges Shido asked for the consequences.

"That's right." Sophia said.

The operating team are flying as fast as they can to reach the cocoon on Aibo Academy. Neginoyama then sensed something.

"Please stop for a moment!" Neginoyama said as they stopped. He then pulled out his tablet.

"What's wrong, teacher?" Tetsuya asked.

"We've come out into an awfully wide space." Ban said as he looked at the field around them.

"It looks like the path splits up several ways, but which way should we go?" Rouga asked.

"This is strange. This isn't how this should be." Neginoyama said after checking the map on his tablet.

"What do you mean by that, sir?" Daisuke asked as they felt an earthquake.

"What's going on?!" Gao asked as the ground begins to crack as it begins to split.

"What?!" Count Dawn asked.

"A fissure!" Gao noticed as the ground cracks up as Count Dawn, Kazane, and Neginoyama are going from above.

"Count Dawn!" Gao yelled.

"Hey, hey, hey!" Ban yelled as he splits with Kiri and Rouga. Tetsuya and Zanya are splitting from Tasuku, Daisuke, and Suzaku.

"Asmodai!" Tetsuya yelled.

"Tetsuya, don't fly! Stay low." Asmodai said. The fissure stopped as the group got into split paths.

"Th-This is..." Gao said as he saw something coming as it was Ikazuchi/Yamigedo, "Ikazuchi!" Ikazuchi/Yamigedo smirked.

"Ikazchi has already become one with me." He said.

"Heh. You've saved us the trouble of looking for you!" Ban said as Ricky got off of him.

"I'll defeat him right here, kii!" Ricky said as he swings his arms around to a fling attack but then he got shocked by the lightning.

"So he's made barriers around us." Kiri said as he noticed the boundary.

"It is impossible to break through my barriers. If you wish to reach me, you must defeat the Inverse Fiend Horde." He said as the team looked at the tunnels they were at.

"How come you're not personally fighting us?!" Drum asked, "We haven't settled our scores yet!"

"It's no use." Count Dawn said, "That's a psychic projection in the shape of Ikazuchi." He recognized what it is, "The real Yamigedo is probably unable to move." He explained.

"So does that mean..." Daisuke said.

"That we have a greatest chance right now!" Tasuku said.

"Ikazuchi!" Gao yelled.

"Gao?" Daisuke asked.

"I'm not giving up! I'm going to become pals with Ikazuchi, for sure!" He swore, "I told you once before! I will seal Yamigedo, and get the real Ikazuchi back! So don't you give up either! Reclaim your true self back from Yamigedo!"

"G-Gao!" Drum said.

"If you lose to the Inverse Fiend Horde, you will be turned to stone. Be prepared." Ikazuchi said as the psychic projection. Count Dawn reached his hand as he touched the barrier.

"This barrier is created using the Disaster Force?" Count Dawn asked, "Why would Yamigedo use this?"

"Count Dawn, can you hear me?! I have terrible news!" Stella said on the communication.

"What's going on?"

At the HQ...

"The petrification threads are spreading at an increased rate!" Stella informed as she looked at the monitor, "If this continues, they'll cover the surface of Earth with twelve hours!"

"Preposterous! That's too fast! At that rate, this world will be destroyed!" Count Dawn said as the thread is spreading further into the city.

"Looks like things are finally getting serious." Asmodai said.

"So we have no choice but to go down the road he's leading us." Ban said as they looked at the tunnel.

"But that force all of us to split up." Rouga said.

"No choice at the matter." Daisuke said.

"Well, it's almost certainly a trap." Suzaku said.

"Mister Parasol..." Kazane said concernedly as Count Dawn nodded. Gao and Drum looked at the tunnel.

"Gao..." Drum said.

"Let's go, everyone!" Gao said, "No matter what traps await us, let's defeat the Inverse Fiend Horde, and reach Yamigedo!" He clenched his fist, "We can't afford to lose! We're gonna win! See you all at Aibo Academy!"

"Yeah!" Then all split up, taking the paths they're supposed to take.

In the underwater, a submarine was floating. Inside of it, Elf was checking on the calculations.

"The Disaster Force signal we just picked up was really massive."

"In all probability, Ikazuchi's Dark Core activated." Kyoya said, "I gave him one, through Sophia."

"Even so, those were some terrifying large numbers. Probably equal to you, Kyoya."

"If it wasn't at least that big, it would be a problem. After all, it took me a lot of work to get this far." Kyoya said, "I'll be the one to save the world."

Spotlight shown as Daisuke and Ryuusei appears on stage.

"Welcome back to more Corner Time!"

"The team has split up now! Hopefully we won't get to be petrified if we lose."

"We won't be, Ryuusei. Before we announced the next chapter. I want to ask the viewers."

"Hm?"

"On Buddyfight Triple D. I have an idea to upgrade my Galactic deck to something different. How does Photonic sound?"

"Photonic?"

"The galaxies are made of photon energy so I figure this will come for the new version for you, Ryuusei."

"Oh, I get it!"

"So give me a review of what you think and give me those ideas for that. The next chapter will be the Star Dragon World battle for Tasuku against Sophia. Til then bye for now!" They waved goodbye as the screen faded black.
