"Your….Matsukaze Tenma!"

Endou said in amazement. "Endou-san! It's been such a long time!" Tenma said in happiness. Endou was still confused at seeing him there.

"Tenma? Why are you here?"

"To play soccer with you!"

"But how did you know we were short on members?" Endou asked. "That's a secret!" Kinako said humbly from behind. "Well that's how it is Endou-san. But we're delaying things. You guys are badly injured. Me, Fei and Tsurugi would take care. Kinako you play as well. I can sense that Kazemaru-san is injured as well" Tenma ordered. "But Tenma how did you-" "I just did. You rest for a while. We'll play until then" Tenma said.

The match resumed and everyone did well. Garsheild's team again rose and attacked furiously. One of the players ran towards the goal and shot the ball in but due to Endou's move it didn't make it. Suddenly at that time another player took control of the ball and made it through.

After a deadly match in which Inazuma eleven scored 4 goals and Garsheild's team 3 goals, they won.

"No give us back Drum and Jack!" Yasashii argued. "We would definitely" Garsheild took Yasashii's hand which tempered her and the rest of the players. "Let go!" Gao steamed. "No I won't kid!" Garsheild replied. "Why you…" Gao started to snatch Yasashii out but it was not affective. Suddenly drum gave a growl and fire came out of his mouth to which Garsheild became alert and left the team.

After the match

"Umm.. thank you Gao-kun and Drum-chan" Yasashii said kindly. "Don't sweat it Yasashii" Gao replied. "Anyway, I'm glad you guys came back." Tasuku sighed.

"Tenma… how did you-" "I told you before… it's a secret" Kinako didn't let Endou complete his sentence. "Now then. We should be going. It was fun to play with you all and I hope we get another chance as well. But right no we must head back. Bye then Minna!" Tenma waved.

All the players went back to their timeline and the others started walking towards their stay.

Endou and Gao

"Tadaima!" Endou boomed as he went inside the house alongside Gao. "We're back!" Gao said casually. "Oh! Mamoru-kun, Gao-kun. Welcome back" Endou's mother smiled. "Mom please give us food quickly. We need to go practice" Endou demanded.

"P…Practice!? You didn't tell me!" Gao jumped about a feet in the air. "Oh I didn't?" Endou wondered. "No you didn't Mamoru-kun!" Gao shouted back. Endou's mother laughed at the idiocy of the boys. "There you go boys. Eat and play soccer!" Endou's mother winked.

At the steel tower plaza

"God hand!" Endou shouted as he stopped the tire. "Wow! Do you think I can do it?" Gao asked. "Well you do need practice for it. Want to try?" Endou replied. "Yeah sure." Gao went in front of the tire and gave it a big push but before he could do anything, the tire came back at full speed, knocking off Gao and Endou.

"Gao! At least learn before you try it" Endou yelled. "You were the one who said to try silly! Don't blame me!" Gao yelled back.

"But I think as you're the forward you should just practice dribbling and shooting. You shoot the ball and I'll catch it?" Endou suggested. "K then. Let's make it a challenge!" Gao smirked. "Challenge me anytime you want"

Gao started kicking the ball and shoot towards the goal. Endou easily caught it and threw it back. "Is this all you've got?!" Endou taunted Gao. "Don't you mock me!"

He shoot again and this time the shoot was furious. Endou barely managed to catch it but his hands started hurting and the gloves burned up. "M…Mamoru-kun are you-" "Yeah I'm okay! Shoot Gao!"

Gao did as told. He shoot without any hissatsu but still injured Gao and it broke through the goal. "Mamoru-kun! Are you okay? Your hands are burning and you're saying that you are okay?" Gao yelled at Endou.

"Gao? Tell me seriously if you are human? You made my hands burn just with a normal shoot. I remember this happened when Aphrodi did it but he used the Aqua of the gods to give him power. Are you guys really human?"

"Mamoru-kun… you can check my ID if you don't believe I'm human!" Gao yelled. "G…Gao-san? Endou-san?" Yasashii came running. "Yasashii-chan!?" Gao happily yelled.

"Are you guys okay? You look wounded! What happened?" Yasashii asked. "Well Yasashii… the boy you see here is from another dimension as you know but he and Ryuenji have such a strong power that they can even tear nets from a normal shoot." Endou laughed.

"Really? Gao-san and Tasuku-kun?! You are that powerful?" Yasashii's eyes were wide in amazement. "Well it's correct. Well now you're making me embarrassed." Gao said.

"I would really like you guys to become stronger! But it's already night and it's very late too." Yasashii told. "By the way Yasashii. Why did you come here?" Endou asked.

"Oh! I totally forgot. Well Terumi-kun and Hiroto-kun got into a fight and in the meantime Fuusuke-kun and Haruya-kun got into a fight as well. Ichirouta-kun and Tasuku-kun are trying to hold them back but they aren't listening and it's getting dangerous."

"WHAT!?" Gao and Endou ran towards the scene at once with Yasashii following.

At the scene

"Guys! Calm down!" Kazemaru was telling them all but they we're listening. "It's not good to fight amongst your on selves!" Tasuku tried but it was no use.

"I would even kill you if I can!" Aphrodi yelled at Hiroto. "Why you…. I wasn't the one who got you injured! The true culprits are fighting over there!" Hiroto yelled back. "Say what you want but you were the mastermind behind all of the incidents weren't you!" Aphrodi yelled. "So you think that I'm an alien even now? We all are in the same team now!" Hiroto shouted. "Shut up!" Aphrodi replied.

"I never thought you would do this kind of thing Nagumo!" Suzuno yelled. "So what! You didn't even ask me!" Nagumo replied. "Why you! I'll hate you even if I have to kill myself for it!" Suzuno became even more furious. "Remember when we were small kids, you didn't invite me and a few others to your birthday! It was the day you got orphaned! Ha. Meaning if you leave my side. You'll suffer!" Nagumo made Suzuno's head down and he became depressed. "It was just a bad coincidence stupid! I can't believe I once called you my best friend!" Suzuno slapped Nagumo.

Nagumo became furious and slapped him back. Tasuku went there to control the situation but the same happened on the other side and Kazemaru was trapped as well.

At the same time Endou and Gao appeared and handled the situation. "Guys! Stop fighting. This proves our team's lack of teamwork if this keeps up. Pull yourselves together!" Gao yelled. Everyone looked at him with an embarrassed look and said sorry.

After the fight

"Ouch! Yasashii it hurts at that spot!" Suzuno cried while Yasashii was putting ointment. "Well I didn't ask you to go and slap Haruya-kun. He hit you back harder and now your face's bruised." Yasashii replied kindly. Nagumo started laughed at the sight. "Why you-" "Don't fight!" Yasashii cut in. "Well if Yasashii-chan says then I won't but I'll settle the score once and for all!" Suzuno's face swell up.

"Yeah yeah try if you can."

Yasashii went over to Aphrodi and Hiroto who were also injured and rubbed ointment on their faces too.

Kazemaru and Tasuku's side

"We're back!" Kazemaru boomed. "Hey we have arrived!" Tasuku roared. "Welcome back!" Nozomi welcomed them. "Welcome back. How was your first day at Raimon Tasuku-kun?" Kazemaru's mother asked.

"It was good. We had tons of fun" Tasuku smiled. "And Ichirouta-kun… where had you been all day?" "Well due to Tasuku-kun and Gao-kun's buddies being captured we had to play against Garsheild. And it was a headache"

"Wow! Tasuku-Onii-chan what's this card flying?" Nozomi asked. "Oh that? It's my-" "Buddy. Jackknife Dragon" Yawazaka cut in. "Cool!"

"You know about him?" Tasuku asked. "Oh well you know. I used to buddyfight too" Yawazaka grinned. "YOU DID TOO!?" Tasuku yelled in a surprising tone. "Yes I did. In fact I still have a deck. Wanna buddyfight?" Yawazaka asked. "I would love too! But you know Gao is a better fighter than I am. He saved the world twice." Tasuku admitted.

"Now if the Boy Wonder Cop would say this, I would really be depressed. Come on! It doesn't matter!" Yawazaka taunted. "Well then I'd love too!" Tasuku smiled.

"Come on. I'll get the stuff from the room. We can play in the living room"

"Wow! Are we going to see buddyfight?" Kazemaru asked. "Yup you are. I'm sure you'll love it." Tasuku replied. "Then should I call Aphrodi and Hiroto over too Mom? they said they wanted to see a buddyfight too" Kazemaru asked. "Yes sure Ichirouta-kun. I would be happy if they came over." Yawazaka replied kindly. Kazemaru dashed off to call them.

"Tasuku-kun…! Help me!" Yawazaka said who was carrying boxes, way much for her to handle. Tasuku smile and went to help her. "Mom how do you know buddyfight?" Nozomi asked. "Well Nozomi-chan, I just got the hang of it by watching others. Especially Yota-kun. He used to play it a lot. Ah the times." Yawazaka stopped.

"Hun? What happened?" Tasuku asked. "Tasuku-kun… you said that Yota-kun died but how did he die? I mean the year you told me, I had been there just and then Yota-kun died right?" Yawazaka was troubled. "There's an 'and' to it right?" "Hmm… He was as fine as he could be." Yawazaka continued. "What Gao told me was that he had been trying to be the sun-fighter but someone was jealous of this and did something to make him ill. His health slowly deteriorated and in the end he died because his heart stopped working" Tasuku said sorrowfully. "Yota-kun… why you" Yawazaka's heart filled with pain.

"Mom! I've returned with Aphrodi and Hiroto!" Kazemaru roared as he opened the door of his house. "Oh. Terumi-kun! Hiroto-kun. Welcome!" Yawazaka welcomed them warmly. "Konichiwa" Aphrodi and Hiroto said kindly. "Umm… Oba-san we heard that you and Tasuku-kun were going to buddyfight? Do you know how to?" Aphrodi asked. "Of course! So let's go to the ground!"

Kazemaru, Nozomi, Hiroto and Aphrodi watched tensely as the fighters set and shuffled their decks.

"Assemble Dragon Army! Dragonic Force Luminize!"

"Walking in Fury and Harmony! Luminize Brave Soliel!"

"Raise the Flag!"

"I play for Dragon world!" Tasuku said.

"And I play for Dungeon World!" Yawazaka said.

"You go first Tasuku"

"You'll regret…"

"I don't mind. I won't"

"K then. First I buddycall Jackknife dragon to the right and I equip Dragon blade Drago brave."

Tasuku attacked Yawazaka with Drago brave and then with Jack. She suffered 6 damage in one turn.

"Now it's your turn"

"Hmm. First I call Brave of the Sun Gao to the left and equip Brave's sword, Soma Sword!"

"Gao-kun!?" Hiroto, Kazemaru and Aphrodi yelled.

Yawazaka link attacked with Brave of the Sun, Gao and Soma sword. Tasuku suffered 5 damage

"Is that the best you have?"

"No Tasuku. I'll show you in my next turn"

"Ok but for now I increase my gauge by Dragonic Charge two times. Now I change Jackknife into Jackknife Gold Ritter. Next I call Drum to the future to the left. Link attack boys!"

"Not so fast! Divine protection of Shelsana!"

"I'll use Drum the Future's ability to nullify your shield!"

"Not so fast Tasuku-kun. You don't have any gauge left" Yawazaka smiled and winked.

"Ugh!"

*Move End*

"You're good Oba-chan."

"So are you Tasuku. But I have a shock prepared for you. I call Legendary Messiah Tasuku to the right!"

Everyone was shocked as Yawazaka predicted. "It's T…Tasuku-kun now?!" Hiroto panicked. "What the…!?" Aphrodi stopped.

"And now I call Mighty Sun, Yota! (not a real card)"

"Y…Yota-kun?!" Tasuku panicked.

"Didn't I tell you, you would be shocked?"

"Yes but…"

"No buts! Combine link attack.."

"It's a big mistake!"

"I didn't finish Tasuku. I was saying 'not' at the end. There's no way I'd make a mistake like that!"

"Go Yota! Go and attack!"

Tasuku suffered 3 critical. "Ugh"

"I'm not done yet!"

"Go Tasuku! Go attack you look-alike!"

Tasuku suffered another 2 critical.

"Now you're only left with 1 life Tasuku-kun."

"Don't worry. It'll be over this turn!"

"I have 6 life and you only 1."

"I have prepared for this too. First go Drum! Attack her!"

Yawazaka suffered 3 damage but…

"Final phase!"

"What the…. Damn it! I was so close to victory!"\

"Sorry Oba-chan but this fight goes to me. Final phase! Dragonic punisher!"

Kazemaru, Nozomi, Aphrodi and Hiroto were surprised at the fight and the impact. They were way too shocked to say anything"

"Game over. Winner ; Ryuenji Tasuku" Tasuku imitated the actual voice. "Tasuku-kun" Yawazaka giggled. "You played very well. If I hadn't drawn out my Impact at the right time than I would have been the one to lose."

"Well it all depends on luck in the end then. Well all's well that ends well." Yawazaka added.

"It was awesome Mom!" Kazemaru said excited. "Really? Well I guess it's almost night time." Yawazaka replied. "Yeah I guess it is. Tasuku, Hiroto, Aphrodi… do you guys wanna go up in my room?" Kazemaru asked. "Yeah. I'm okay with this." They all replied. "Ok then. Let's go." Kazemaru ran up with them following.

In his room

"It was a nice game Tasuku-kun."

"Thankyou Terumi-kun."

They all looked around then suddenly Hiroto spoke up. "What do you guys think about the new coach?"

"I… well we… actually we aren't used to this kind but what I found more shocking was that he isn't allowing us to practice. Like what should we do till then?" Kazemaru replied. "Yeah and all the other teams are probably still practicing and here we are. Doing nothing and not even practicing. We don't even know each other that well but we still have to do nothing like we know everything" Aphrodi's body started to swell up. "Plus he keeps saying that we are no match for the world. If he doesn't allow practice then we are no match against the world." Hiroto yelled. "We should work on teamwork in the time being but what good would come out of playing it easy?" Kazemaru continued.

"Guys I think there is another meaning to this. Maybe there is a hidden message in between?" Tasuku suggested. Aphrodi leaned over him. "Well then Mr. genius why don't you explain this message?" *sweat drop* "I'm still trying to figure it out Terumi-kun" Aphrodi went back. "I trust your word Tasuku-kun. But I'll keep a check on you. You look suspicious"

"He's back to his normal behavior with us. It looks that way." Kazemaru giggled. "Hey you!" Aphrodi blushed. "Oh my~ now the boy is blushing" Hiroto teased. "Hey! This blush is actually anger showing form!" Aphrodi yelled. "Look Hiroto. Now the boy is trying to hide his embarrassment" Kazemaru teased again.

"Come on guys. It's ok. Let him relax" Tasuku smiled. "Are you mocking me Tasuku-kun?" "Terumi-kun. I'm taking your side. Come on!"

Suddenly everyone stopped. Yawazaka's footsteps were heard. She suddenly opened the door. "Terumi-kun! Hurry up! It's an emergency!" Yawazaka shouted and ran out with Aphrodi.

Everyone stopped and looked at the scene developing. "Ichirouta..?" Hiroto managed to speak his name. "Yes… she's not like this. Something must've happened." Kazemaru replied. "I think it's something serious" Tasuku added. "Want to go see?" Kazemaru asked. "Yes let's go" Hiroto and Tasuku replied.

Downstairs

"Terumi-kun…" Yawazaka whispered something in Aphrodi's ear. "What!? But… but… where is she?" Aphrodi cried. "It's okay. They'll get better soon." Yawazaka hugged him.

"Rewards for guessing what? Ichirouta. It looks like you know something." Hiroto said. "Auh.. well"

"Spit it Ichirouta"

"Well you see, My mother and Aphrodi's mother were cousins so it makes us cousins eventually. Also she was her best friend so I have known Aphrodi since we were very little kids. We used to play a lot and go to places but I have no idea what's going on here." Kazemaru replied.

"I'll tell you" Yawazaka came out. "M…Mom!?"

"But before telling, Ichirouta-kun, Terumi-kun is staying with us here for a while." Yawazaka told him. "But Oba-chan, what really happened?" Tasuku asked. "Auh well. Come here you guys" Yawazaka took the boys to another room.

"I know Ichirouta already told you about mine and Terumi-kun's Mom's relation. Actually today, his mother and little sister went to the market but got into an accident. Her mother is in critical situation but her sister is safe. I was going to get her from the hospital. But please don't mention it in front of Terumi-kun now. He'll be depressed"

"What!?" All of them yelled. "Yes. I'm going to the hospital now. Please take care of Nozomi-chan. I'll be back after a while."

"Yes sure mom."

After a while

"Um… Did this actually happen?" Hiroto asked. "I'm also shocked Hiroto-kun. It's all very frightening." Tasuku replied. "Auh. Tasuku-kun. If you don't mind then can I ask you something?" Hiroto asked.

"Yes. Ask whatever you want"

"Well I came to know that your parents died. How was that?"

There was a long silence. Then suddenly Tasuku spoke.

"Well you see, that four years ago there was an earthquake and it was disastrous. So they died like that. My father, tried to protect us but died instead, after he fell from a height due to the shake. My mother saw a building falling. A piece was about to hit me but she pushed me away and took the hit instead. She bled and died right there. I took my little sister but somewhere I slipped and she fell from my hands. Then suddenly, the ground cracked and she let her tiny hand out. I couldn't catch her and she fell inside. But that's the past. Now's the present" Tasuku tried to put a fake smile.

"I'm so sorry I asked-" BOOM!

Suddenly there a huge sound of an explosion. All of them ran towards the window to check out the scene. There was a long silence. Only the voices of people screaming and crying were coming from the opposite direction of the hospital.

After about 2 minutes they saw someone coming. "Hiroto! Kiyama Hiroto! It's bad! Come down!" The boy screamed and cried.

Tasuku strained his eyes and saw Suzuno, covered in blood and wounds, trying to walk. They all ran downstairs and aided their comrade.

"Suzuno? What's wrong?"

"It's bad! Everyone in the orphanage…"

"Orphanage…?"

"The blast was at the orphanage and everyone died!"

"What!? Suzuno?! Tell me the truth! Don't lie and joke around! It isn't even April!"

"I…I'm telling… the truth" Suzuno managed to speak. He was shaking madly because of the blood lose.

"I think, first we need to take him to the hospital and go get him stitches." Tasuku said.

"You guys go. I'll be going to the orphanage."

"But that's where there was the blast!" Tasuku yelled. "Are you in your senses Hiroto-kun?"

"Tasuku-kun. It's okay. I want to check!" With this Hiroto ran towards the orphanage. "Is he alright? I think he….."

"Suzuno!"
