Morning,

kak-HOOONNNNNKKK!

"AH-WHAT!?"

"Uuurrghh…"

"Dammit, Mom! It's Sundaayyz~"

HONK-HOOONNNNNKK!

"WAKE THE HELL UP, MAGGOTS!" shouted the speakers. "UP! UP! Get up & group up at the front of the hotel! STAAATTT!"

"Gr…GRAAAHHH!" Bal snaps out of his bed. "I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE, BAL! LET ME SLEEP, BAL!" And around & round the bed, the little dragon started writhing.

And soon enough, a hand lunges out of below the sheets & slammed onto his head- hands on the upper face. An overflowing malice then creeps up from beneath the blanket.

"Bal... Shut… the hell… up…" muttered an ominous voice. "Or I'll chop you up… into seven types of pizza toppings… and serve it to the hounds…"

"G-G-G-Gao…?" whimpered a pinned Bal.

"I repeat…" murmured Gao with eyes 'crazy-possessed'. "Shut the hell up… or I'll-"

"Ah, by the way, if you think you can skip this one… Think again, fa**ot! CUZ' ANY MAGGOT WHO ISN'T HERE BY SEVEN IS GOING GET A MINUS ON THEIR STAMP COUNT-"

"GODDAMMIT, LET ME SLEEEEPPP!"

"Urgh… Why so early…?" Stella groans. "I know we have an event but really? 6 AM in the morning!?"

"6 AM is already near the average waking time, isn't it?" asked Takihara.

"Yeah! But that's during work days; not holidays!"

"Stella-san! Takihara-san!" a voice soon calls out, approaching the two.

"Tasuku!" Takihara responded. "Morning! Have a nice sleep?"

"Well… at least for me," The boy let out an awkward grin.

"The others are still dragging Gao & Bal down, unfortunately," said Jack.

"I-I see… So just they're like Stella,"

"Hmm!?" The lady's brow flinched.

"So… did you find any leads?"

Takihara just shook his head. "Sadly, no. We tried tailing Sofia & her friend but to no luck- ARGH!" A chop lands on the back of his head.

Stella then walks forward. "Hmph!" She crossed her arms, grumpily. "At any rate… we've already decided on our next action so you could just-"

"Can we… at least know…?" The boy nervously asks.

Stella let out a sigh. "If I tell you, would you refrain yourself from 'helping' us?"

The boy just lifts his head.

Looking into his unwavering eyes, Stella soon lets out another sigh. "Just promise me that you won't recklessly put yourself in danger, kay?" The boy nodded. "We've decided to look into Mathilda Blumenthal Tremaine, the 'supplier' of the monster staff members here,"

"And she's involved with Kyoya? Supplying him with monsters, like the time with his Disaster group?"

"Yes, and with THAT kind of history attached to her, I suppose it's naturally that Kyoya picked her up,"

"History?"

"She's the girl from that 'Game of Thrones' family," said Takihara.

Confused, Tasuku furrowed his brows. "Game… of Thrones?"

Takihara freezes in place. Knowing he screwed up, Stella face-palms. "Game of Thrones- I mean, the whole thing… is referring one of that big news that got overshadowed by either Kyoya Gaen or Yamigedo," Stella explains. "It's about the lines of successors- and also, children- of an ill-stricken CEO to an otherworldly trade company. Apparently, the siblings were in a vicious infighting; resulting in some casualties & arrests. What's left of that family now is a mentally ill son and… Mathilda herself…"

Tasuku's eyes widens from dread. "Wha… What the hell…?" he muttered under his breathe.

"I see… so Kyoya Gaen would stoop that low…" said Jack.

"T-They're brothers & sister, right? Why would they-" BOOOM! "What the-"

"E-Erm… H-Hi… again…?" OOOOOHHHHH! "HIII!"

"Mathilda-chan, ganbare!"

"Sofia-sama, please go out with me!" shouted some from the crowd below.

Just above a speaker pole- now covered in confetti & pink, two familiar figures hover. Responding to the woo's below, the one with her arms crossed & dressed like a gallant Valkyrie shifted a stare to her panicking 'cutesy maid' partner.

And as expected, she is fidgeting. "S-S-S-SOFIA-SAN!"

"It's just like last night. Just do it,"

"B-B-But…"

"DO. IT!" Sofia death-stares.

"Y-YESS!" The orange-haired then turns to the crowd. "H-HELLLOOO!" she shouts.

And the crowd replies. "Mathilda-chaaannn!"

"H-Hee! Er… O-Okay… erm… Ahem," She hovers slightly down. "T-Today w-we've have c-c-called you up for a r-reason. I-I am sure e-everyone er… had? Have? HAS! K-Known that an event is going to go on here and- AND!"

"She's… panicking, isn't she?" said Jack. With straight faces, the other three nods.

Before long, the maid pulls out a crumbled paper from her pocket.

"S-SO h-here's the explanation for the-er- everything!" She held the note high. Then, FwhoooSSSHH! "Ah, AAHHH! COME BAAACK!" She quickly gives chase.

Sofia face-palms. "Ergh… Mathilda…." She groans deeply. Having no choice left, the Valkyrie turns the crowd, now chattering down below as she let out a sigh. "aaaATTENTIIIOOONNN!"

Instantly, the noise vanishes & their eyes shifted back, witnessing Sofia as she slowly lands landed on the tip of the pole. Her expression's cold as ice but to most of the present, a cool beauty.

"As promised, we shall begin your morning trail shortly! A trail we named… Anarchy!" She raised her prop sword & points it at the crowd. "You will all now participate in a Battle Royale with your stamps on the line. The losers will lose forfeits his or hers & the winner will gain said amount! Is that clear?"

"Erm, excuse me!" said a certain 'disguised' reporter girl from the crowd. "You said that our stamps are on the line so... Is this for real...?"

"Y-Yes…" answered Sofia to the girl- who's not supposed to be there. "In a manner of minutes, every one of you here will proceed to hunt down & challenge other players for a certain amount of time,"

"So... basically, it's a hunt or be hunted game?"

"Yes, that's what a Battle Royale is..." Sofia replies again, slightly irritated. "And should you be the challenger, you will have the privilege to dictates the amount of stamps both you & your opponent bets. But a wise hunter knows when to risk, where to risk it & how much he'll risk-"

"Okay, then how about the way we do it? In details, I mean."

Her brow then furrows. "Simple. Remember the bracelets we gifted the participants yesterday? That is essentially a custom, complexly-crafted hacking device that is linked to your Stamp Track app. It targets other player's Core Gadget, forces them to Luminize & should you win, helps register the stamps into Stamp Tracker-"

"Woah, wait! What about-"

Immediately, the Valkyrie zooms into her face. "The one who have lost or thrown away their issued bracelets?" she said with an icy glare.

"I-Is this… in the script?" Paruko squeaked.

"Girl, either they retrieve it from whatever place they left it at. Or!" She hovers back up. "Waste precious time getting a replacement; while everyone's busy getting stamps. Also, for your information... about five minutes from now… the Anarchy will officially commences…"

Fwoooosshhh… ... ...

"W-Wait, what?" said a guy from the crowd.

"About 5 minutes...?"

"This is a Battle Royale so that means..."

"H-Hey, I think we should get out of here,"

"Oh crap!"

"Oh s*it!"

And not a minute passed, the crowd had already went into a frenzy & scattered about.

"W-Woah! Watch it! Hey!" A UFO then rockets out from the mess below. "OH-kay! S-Sofia-san! Sofia-san!" She waved to the sighing Valkyrie. "W-We already have most of the rules but for everyone's sake, may I ask how exactly would the participants know when the Anarchy begins?"

"In time… the participants will know in time…" With a sly smile, she turned to the panicking crowd. "Warriors! May we meet again at sunset,"

And with a glowing card in her hand, she produces a sharp, blinding flash. Her figure soon completely vanishes soon afterwards.

"W-well... g-guess that's it for the rules of Anarchy..." said an awkward Paruko. "S-Stay tune next time... I guess?"

"NICCCOOOOOOO!" shouted a voice from not far behind.

"Sensei…"

"Y-Yes, Tetsuya?"

"How come Wayne-san's chasing us?" With a straight face, the boy on the flying banana asks.

"E-Erm… I-It may not look like it but-"

"Didn't you two make up yesterday? I mean, you two are so happy whe you're 'bro-headbutting' & 'bro-fisting' each other-"

"Ah, yes!" Nico then turns to his apprentice. His face riddled with 'sorrow'. "You see, Tets, I've accidentally punched him when we were 'bro-fisting'-"

Lewis pops out. "Actually, he tried to murder Wayne,"

"SAY WHAT!?"

"I CAN EXPLAIN!" the teen shouts back.

"Sensei! I knew you were bonkers but this is just over the top, yo!"

"I can't help it! He had his smelly **** right up at my face!"

"So the logical thing you can think of at the time is to immediately wrap him & his Buddy up in the room blanket, hanged him from the ceiling & make him spin before skedaddling with a single care in the world? Well, color me impressed! You might just been a demon lord yourself!" said Asmodai.

"I'M NOT- Wait! How did you know?"

"Someone had to save to poor sap, right?"

"Er, no. Even if you left him in a locked box, he'll get out eventually-"

"GET BACK HERE, NICCCOOOOO!"

"Oh s*it! Better accelerate!"

And… PFFWWOOOSSHHH! Nico took off!

"Ah! Sensei-GAAHH!" Wayne's bike then sped past them.

"GIMME MY PAYBACK, NICCCOOOO!"

"NEVER! In fact, the next time you press your smelly **** on my face, I'll throw you off a balcony!"

"MY **** IS NOT SMELLY! YOUR ****'S THE SMELLY ONE- Heck, it's not even the skinned!"

"Okay, just because my **** isn't skinned doesn't it's-"

"I'LL SAVE YOU, NICO-SAAAMMMAAAA!"

"Eh?"

And just like that…. In came a certain girl from a roof nearby… Straight towards Nicholas...His face goes pale… before…

"GYAAAHHHH!"

"AAAAAHHHH!"

Both the victim & then idiotic girl screamed out their lungs… and crashes…

HHHHRRRNNNGGGG! The sirens blew.

"It seems that the Anarchy has finally begun," said Zanya as he looked down at his phone. On the screen, it displays a 21/50.

"Splendid!" responded Kagome. "Let us not waste more time, then. Akatsuki-kun, have you found your bracelet?"

"Already found it!" The boy raised his arm.

"Very good! Then, let us be on our way, shall we-"

"Not so fast!" A voice calls out.

Soon & approaching fast, footsteps of many soon began to swarm... from the entrance... their right... their left... and before long, they were surrounded. Teenage boys & girls- somewhere between the age of 15 to 18- have encircled them; their evil smirks & disgusted frowns on full display.

"I am... honored..." Kagome hesitantly answers. "To what to I owe to have such an audience?"

And in response, a likely delinquent walks out from the crowd. "Audience? This money-scamming wh*** seriously think we're some-"

"Enough!" said a voice from the entrance.

And just like that, everyone by the entrance stepped aside. Shortly after, girl marched in; both hands balled with a menacing glare. Her final step then slams itself right in front of Kagome; just an inch from the dress.

"My name is Rina Koizumi," said the girl. "Ryouta Koizumi is my brother,"

"Ryouta... Koizumi...?"

"He was a devout follower of your cult!" She mutters ominously. "He served you... with all of his heart... and you... You! You killed him!"

"Wha- Nonsence! The Shirushiboshi will not stand for murder-"

"Then, how about indirect one, o illustrious O-Miko-sama!? First, you trick my Oni-chan with your voodoo s**t... Then, you excommunicate him & in turn, you drove him mad!"

Her eyes flew open. Upon this revelation, she lowers her head. "I... see..."

"K-Kagome-dono...?"

"Now, do you see, kid? This bitch is serial fraud! Through & through & should be dump into a prison-"

"I will not deny your grieve nor your anger towards me. It is reasonable..." The O-Miko raises her head. "However, I must clarify that all who joined the Shirushiboshi must attend to a very strict lifestyle, akin to that of the monks. If they cannot bear it, then they may leave at any time,"

"A-Are you IMPLYING-"

"And for those who purposefully disobey our creed, we excommunicated on the spot! This is the truth & I swore it with my life!" The O-Miko declares. "Rina-san, I do not what drove your brother into such obsession but allow me, as O-Miko of the Shirushiboshi, this one apology... We should have been harsher on your brother's initiation... He is not worthy for our cause & I have failed to see that. My condolences," The priestess then bows.

"Oni-chan... not... worthy..." Rina mutters. Before long, she clenched her teeth. "Get her... Get her! GET HER-"

"WHAT!?"

A beam then blasted out of her bangle, alerting everyone as shoot towards Zanya.

The boy caught it with his wrist, holding the bangle to the ray to establish a link. Eventually… he succeeds; a chain of light was bound to both players' bracelet.

"Kagome!" He rushes to the girl. "Get out of here. I can handle this!"

"But-"

"You too, Akatsuki!"

"Eh!?" The little boy points to himself.

"Nice proposal but I believe I should-"

"No, Kagome, you need to go. I don't think they're going to play fair," said the boy as hooligans approach with some cracking their fists. His eyes soon darted back to the priestess. "I need someone to help Akatsuki with his stamp collection. Think you can do it?" He let out a smile.

Seeing the boy standing before her, the girl just sighed & soon, backed down. "I understand… But you better not ended up in the hospital,"

"Worry not, O-Miko-sama. I plan to,"

"Very well, then... Fubuki!"

And within that split second, she lifted her deck case & conjured up snow- an explosion of snow! Enough to shroud the lobby in white!

Panic then ensues! Rina Koizumi is not happy! "What the f**k are you twats doing- GET HER!"

"Not so fast!"A team of three stood before them. "Sorry but you'll be staying with us for a while," said Zanya; his two ninjas standing beside him.

"Why yooouu... Yoouuu! I'LL MAKE YOU PAY FOR THIS!"

WINNER. KODO NOBORU!

"There! You see that, Gao!" shouted out Noboru.

Fresh after defeat, his opponent soon got up. "This ain't over yet, Kodo!" He said. "I want a rematch-"

ATTENTION, DEFEATED FIGHTERS ARE TO BE TRANSPORTED TO ANOTHER AREA VIA TELEPORTATION.

"Wait- WHAT!?"

INITIATING TELEPORTATION.

"What the heck- I-I'll be ba-" And before the fighter can say anymore, a bright light bursts out & in a bright flash, he is gone.

Noboru's eyes then stared upon the place his opponent formerly stood. "Errrr..." He scratches his head. "Who is he again, El Quixote?"

"Beats me," said the old knight. "And it seems your rival has fallen asleep,"

"Say what!? After all those things he said to me!?" Immediately, he turns to the nearby bench.

Apparently, the little sister is already shaking the sleeping prince. "Gao-nicchan! Gao-nicchan, wake up! HEY!"

"I-I think we should let Gao-kun sleep some more, Hanako-chan," said Kiri.

"No way! If we let him sleep for a minute, he'll sleep for an hour!"

"OI! GAO!" Noboru's arm then shot at the sleeping prince's collar. "Oi... OI!" The blonde shook.

"Mmmrghr~ Takoyaki~"

"Ohoho~ first, he told me to 'go snooze in a coffin' & here, he is sleeping, eh?" The tiger boy cracks his fists.

"Now, now, there, Noboru. The boy doesn't really mean it- I mean, you yourself did said some of the outrageous things when you're just out of bed-"

"HELL NO, I DIDN'T!"

"Now, now, why not ask the little dragon? Perhaps he can-"

"Piiizzaa~ bal~" mumbled the dragon, who's napping onto of a trash can.

"Er... forget what I just said,"

"Noboru-kun!" An approaching voice calls out.

"Ah! It's Tasuku-nicchan! Tasuku-nicchan!" the little girl waved.

"Hanako-chan! How's your morning?"

"Hectic but that didn't get me down!" she put her fists by her hips, head held high.

The boy then chuckles. "Ehehe... I see." He lightly pats her on the head.

"Tasuku-senpai,"

"Noboru-kun! You feeling okay?"

"Never better," the blonde-haired smiled. "However, we kinda have a dead rock on our hands, right now" He points to his back.

"Wha- Gao-kun!?" Tasuku utters.

"It's just Gao being Gao- nothing to worry about... buuutt... he might get caught off guard if he continued to snooze-"

The blue-haired then walked towards him. "Wake up, Gao-kun. Suzumi-san had made some pizza takoyakis."

"Pizza-bal!"

"Takoyaki!"

"IT'S THAT EASY!" shouted Noboru before turning to Hanako.

The girl just shrugs; an awkward grin hanging from her face. "Errrr... Woops, I forgot?" she said.

An unfamiliar voice soon calls out. "Hanako-chan!"

Eyes widened, the young girl quickly turns. Like a truck, another girl crashes in; about her age but blonde.

"GAAAHH! MINA!?"

"BESTIEEE!" The blonde girl squealed.

"NNNOOOOOO!"

"Er... is this your friend, Hanako-chan?" Kiri asked.

"YES!"

"NO!" The two girl shouts. "Yoshino! Why on earth are you here!?"

"Eeehh~! Did you forget about the promise we made yesterday~?"

"What promise!?"

"Y'know, the one about our BFF HANG-OUT TIMMEEE!" the hyperactive girl screamed.

"O-okay..." Tasuku smiled. "S-so Hanako-chan, is this true?"

"Of course, it's-"

"TRUUEEE!" Mina squeals again.

"Wha- NO! That's not what I-"

"It's okay, Hanako," Gao mumbled. "You can go play with your friend. We won't tell mom,"

"Now that's just outright irresponsible! You sure you're awake, Gao-nicchan!?"

"N-now, now there. Let's not turn this into a fight," said Kiri.

"Yeah, siblings shouldn't fight-"

"Tasuku!" Jack pop out.

"What's wrong-" The boy's eyes soon caught her- peeking right at the entrance of an alleyway with a malicious smile. "Sokharov!"

"Huh? Did you say something Tasuku-senpai?" Kiri asks.

"Miseria, take care of the others!"

"Eh! W-Wait, Tasuku-senpai!" And just like they sprinted off; towards the alley way at full speed as the white-haired onlooker retreats.

After a few seconds & they were gone from sight. Kiri lowers his shoulders with sigh. "Isn't the plan for us to stick together?"

"Don't worry about him, Kiri. I mean, he's the Wonder Boy Cop, after all," said Noboru. "By the way... where's Hanako-"

One step forward & before anyone can react... BWOOSSHH! Dark mists burst out.

"Wha-"

"Noboru!"

"Noboru-kun!" El Quixote & Kiri shouted, jolting the sleepy duo into a sudden wake.

The Sun Fighter quickly turns to his friend; heart drumming & eyes wide open. He reaches out his hand. "Noboru-"

And when he's about to get off the bench, like a tidal wave, the mist slams down on the boy & his Buddy. Not a trace of them was left at the scene.

Gao collapsed to his knees. "N-Noboru…?"

"W-What just happened-bal…?" muttered the little dragon. "K-Kitten Shirt…?"

Snapping out of shock, Kiri quickly took out his phone & tapped on it. "GPS…" He soon found it. "I've found him!"

Immediately, the two responded. "Wha- I-Is it Noboru?" the Sun Fighter asks.

And Kiri gave a nod.

Darkness died as soon as it envelops them. Noboru, upon reuniting with light, soon began to look around, disorientated by the greenery that surrounds them.

"W-Where are we? Where's Kiri & the others?" asked the boy.

"It appears that someone has the audacity to teleport us without warning," said El Quixote as he steps forward. "Come out now, you rude brat! I know you are there!"

"I'm sorry… Noboru…"

"That voice! Baku-"

ANARCHY MATCH CODE 167K6. ENGAGE.

A red beam then hit Noboru's bangle. "What the-"

"I need your Crest, Noboru! Hand it over!" demanded the voice.

"You have fallen far, Baku Omori," sneered the old knight.

"I don't care!" The armored youth walks out of the foliage. "If it means that monster can't get to Gao, then so be it!"

"Monster? Are implying to Buddyfight Monsters or-"

"That's enough, El Quixote…" An eerie voice soon urges him to turn.

"N-Noboru!?" uttered the old knight upon seeing Noboru; now cloaked in a faint, red aura.

"So there it is…" Baku drew his shield. "Now… come at me!"

"Mina..."

"Yes, best bud?"

"Can you untie me?"

"No!" said Mina.

"Okay... then where are we dragging me to?"

"None of your concern!" said Mina, still flaunting that cute smile.

Immediately, Hanako purses her lip. Her brow twitching from the rage that's leaking out. With a barely intact patience, she then says. "Mina..."

"Yes, best friend?"

"Let me go & I won't tell my big brother about this,"

"The sleepy one or the blue-haired one?"

"The blue-haired- Oh wait, wrong person. HEY!" Mina pulls on the tow rope.

After a flight of stairs, the two girls arrived in front of a dark theater stage. Hanako looked around. An eerie feeling is in her gut. Apparently, the theater house's attendants & visitors are nowhere to be seen. No human; no monster... And- if this place is a haunted house- not even a guy who's dressed as a serial killer! The place's completely empty!

"Mina!" a voice soon calls out.

"Oniichan!"

The spotlights soon flashed. On the stage soon stood a flamboyant boy... one of about Tasuku's age... and dressed in a vampire costume with the most ridiculous-looking pose she's ever seen.

The teenage soon stepped forward, again with a ridiculous pose. "You have done well, my Imouto!" You have brought wareware free stamps! Buririanto! Now, oretachi can move on with our ibiru keikaku!"

"My god, that's horrible..." said Hanako.

And one of the spotlight responded. "There! The little girl said it, Ryuuji! Enough with the excessive weebing!"

"Shut UUUPP, Kousuke!" shouted Mina's brother. "Now, then... It is time... Imouto!"

"Yes, Oniichan!" And with a quick yank, Hanako was quickly dragged up stage.

"GAH! MINA!"

Violently, the girl swings her feet but it is already too late. Within the next tens of seconds, additional ropes -not unlike the ones around her wrist- were wrapped around her body; chaining to a tree prop. Hanako's furious.

"Okay, that does it. After this, I'm going to tell Tasuku-nicchan!"

Mina's brother then stepped forward to his captive, smiling. "Are you ready to be 'challenged', little girl?"

"Fine by me. I'll beat you in a pulp- Uh Oh," The girl registered her tied arms & wrists. "E-Erm... This seems unfair. C-Can you, at least... er... un...tie me?"

And as her captor's grin curves up even more, Hanako began to feel like a real kidnapped girl. Uneasiness... Fear... The urge to cry out loud... but only a whimper came out.

"Oh man..."

Mina's brother then raised a finger to the heavens; the other hand on his phone. "PO-CHIIIT... TOOOO!"

KRAASSHHH!

ANARCHY MATCH CODE 137WB. ENGAGE.

"H-Huh?" uttered a dumbfounded Hanako.

Almost immediately, the ropes around her came loose in a flash. Her captors -with as the same shocked expression as Hanako- now looked onto the new figure before them.

He's cloaked in black; completed with a skull mask that is currently glaring at Mina & her brother. He then turns to Hanako.

"You alright?" he asked.

"U-Urm... yes...?"

"Good. Get out while you still can!"

"Erm, not you're not!" said Mina's brother as his two accomplices enter the stage from both sides. "I don't who you are but you are NOT getting away with your stamps!"

Seeing no escape route, Hanako instinctively approaches the mysterious intruder, grabbing part of the cloak.

"O-Oh, s-sorry..." The frightened girl lets go.

"It's okay... I'll get us out of this," said Specter. "Let's make a deal! If I win, you & your lackeys will let us go!"

"Sounds legit,"

"Shut UP, Kousuke!" Mina shouted back. "And besides, how many stamps DO you have er... shady man?"

And with a skeletal hand, he lifted up his phone's screen to reveal out of 50 stamps, he had acquired-

"FOURTY! I haven't even gotten ten- I mean, thirty. I totally have thirty,"

"So...? Deal?"

"Erm..." He turns towards Mina; her eyes still beaming with anticipation of her brother. A nervous Ryuuji sighed & soon, turns back to the cloaked figure & says. "Well... Why not? It's a deal!"

RAISE THE FLAG!

"Hero World!" shouted Ryuuji.

"Darkness Dragon World!" declared Specter.

[[Ryuuji] Life: 10; Gauge: 2; Hand: 6]

- [Left] [Center] [Right]

[[Specter] Life: 10; Gauge: 2; Hand: 6]

- [Left] [Center] [Right]

"You go first,"

"Really? Just like that? Challenged players can decide who goes first, y'know,"

"It's fine. I'll beat you, regardless,"

"Oho, quite the bravado you have there… I charge & draw!" Ryuuji then looked at his cards & smiles. "One gauge & Transform! Gaigrander 01 [S2: P-4000, C-2, D-4000]!"

Red light & smoke soon blasts out from the floor. It quickly vanishes & in the midst of the fading haze, Ryuuji reappears, now donned in a Kamen Rider-esque red armor as the spotlights reflected down at his visor.

Mina squealed in excitement. "BEAT THEM UP, ONII-CHAN!"

"Ryokai, my shisutā! HAH!" The older brother then leaps into the air. "Gaigrander. KICK!"

BAMB! "Gah!" Right into the mask! Specter took two steps back as Hanako gasps!

MOVE END.

YOUR MOVE.

"M-Mister!?"

"I-I'm fine," The cloaked figure steps forward; his other hand lifted to readjust his mask. "Draw! Charge & Draw!" The cards emerge from his colossal skeleton palm.

[[Ryuuji] Life: 10; Gauge: 2; Hand: 5] - [Gaigrander 01]

- [Left] [Center] [Right]

[[Specter] Life: 8; Gauge: 3; Hand: 7]

- [Left] [Center] [Right]

"I cast Fading Hope. Discarding Umbral Walker, Wisp Robe & Umbral Walker, Phantom Blade from my hand, I can draw 2 more cards,"

Into white ashes, the cards crumbled away. In their place, Specter conjures up two more from his larger arm.

Ryuuji's eyes widens. A mulligan? No. By using that spell, he just decreases his hand size. Is this really from the guy who've gotten fourty stamps?

"Let us begin," And eerie mists soon flows out from his cloak, creeping onto the wooden floor of the stage. "I call Umbral Walker, Skeleton Claw [S1: P-5000, C-1, D-1000] to the center! And Umbral Walker, Phantom Blade [S1: P-2000, C-3, D-1000] to the right!"

And right on cue, two equally eerie monsters burst out from the blanketed floor. The first is a gigantic hand, armored in steel with claw blades of burning blue extending out from it. The second is a greatsword; giant but broken. Its fragments are hovering close to their former body, held together by a bluish & ghostly energy.

"G-Ghost…?" Hanako reacted.

"Link-Attack!"

And like swift phantoms, the two possessed items struck Gaigrander in a simultaneous blow, forcing him back a step.

"Onii-chan!" A concern Mina cries out.

"Grghh! I'm fine!"

MOVE END.

YOUR MOVE.

"Draw! Charge & Draw!" Ryuuji's eyes widens. "Heh. Guess you're aren't as tough as I thought you were. Hyper Energy!" Four gauge added.

"Finish him, Onii-chan!"

"With pleasure! I pay 3 gauge & Buddy Call! My princess's guardian; my comrade-in-arms; to the right! Rescue Dragon, Forcearms [S3: P-8000, C-2, D-7000]!" He then flings the cards into the air.

It flashes, marking the dark room with a signal flare for help. And right on cue, CRASSHH! To Ryuuji's right, the dragon landed, following gust that blew the mists away.

"Arms functional! Error detected zero! Rescue Dragon, Forcearms, tadaima kenzai!" said the mecha-dragon with the two extra arms.

"Ability!"

"Roger! Ability, activate! One card from the drop zone into my soul!"

"Now, attack the center!"

On his Buddy's command, the dragon leaped into the air. "Rrrahhh!" KRRASSHHH! Skeleton Claw crushed. "[Double Attack]!"

"DWARGH!"

"Gaigrander Kick!"

"DAAHH!"

"M-Mister!?"

"I'm fine... Hanako," said Specter.

"I now pay one gauge & Kinkyu Henshin!" Once again, bright light of transformation engulfs Ryuuji whole. "Gaigrander... "FINISH FORM" [P-6000, C-3, D-2000]!"

Another wind blast surges! And at the same time everyone raised their arms to the gusts, Specter soon saw the more demon-esque Gaigrander armor in the air, closing in with kick!

"FINISHING FLAME KICK-"

"Umbral Walker, Wisp Robe's effect! If this card is in your drop zone, I can bind it & another card in my drop zone to reduce an incoming damage by 3!" A huge purple sheet then materializes, blocking the attack! "And Phantom Blade's effect, when it's placed into the bind zone, I can deal 1 damage!" And CLASH! A haunted blade then swings in & forces him back.

A concern Mina then calls out. "Onii-chan!"

"Grrh, sneaky. But next turn's your last!"

MOVE END.

[[Ryuuji] Life: 5; Gauge: 3; Hand: 4] - [Gaigrander "Finish Form"]

- [Left] [Center] [Rescue Dragon, Forcearms]

[[Specter] Life: 4; Gauge: 3; Hand: 4]

- [Left] [Center] [Umbral Walker, Phantom Blade]

YOUR MOVE.

"Draw. Charge and... DRAW!" His eyes then widens on his second draw. "Can't agree more. I cast Abyss Symphony! Two draws. Then, Fading Hope. Discarding Umbral Walker, Spectral Mail & Umbral Walker, Haunted Organ to draw 2 cards!"

From his hand, yet another pair soon appears. Ryuuji's attention was soon caught. Among the two fresh draws, one is burning in purple. Specter took the flaming card into his boney fingers.

"I now Buddy Call Umbral Walker, Warmth's Candle [S2: P-4000, C-2, D-4000] to the center," He gently releases it.

The flames soon duplicates, splitting into three while the mists began forming a body under them. Three arms, one leg, Ryuuji eventually figured out that it is a candle stand.

"W-What on earth..." murmured Mina.

"If Warmth's Candle is in my center, its [Cell Core] activates!" The flames on the center stick then flared up, displaying an omnimous face

Ryuuji soon jolted in realization. "Wait, [Cell Core], you say!? You have one of those- they're actually real!"

"Warmth's Candle. Effect activate! Instead of using the cards on my field, I can Tribute the monsters in my drop zone by sending them to the bind zone! I now Tribute from my drop zone Size 2 Umbral Walker, Spectral Mail; Size 3 Umbral Walker, Haunted Organ & along with the Warmth's Candle on my field!"

And right on cue, two monsters surfaces from the mist on the floor. One an effeminate, legless ghost of black flames & loose mail chains with an evil face; the other is a small organ with pipes, its form twisted & had become crooked.

The flames from the candle's 'hands' burst into an inferno, wrapping around the two summoned ghost before swirling in around itself as something under Specter cloak begun shining, in a pulsating manner.

The masked one soon chants. "O wandering lost souls, those arriving at Death's shores. Now, cry out your regrets & begin your grief!" A sword then pierces the burning vortex & cleaved it down. "X-Cell Call! Arise... Umbral Walker, Knight Denial [C2: P-7000, C-2, D-5000]! To the right!"

Neiighh! A living armor, no two armors, soon emerges from the blue cinders. One armor is that of a horse, with its possessed skeleton donning it; whilst the other is that of its rider- a former knight; now a boneless ghost of blue flames.

Upon seeing this otherworldly rider, Ryuuji's scared sister immediately took two steps back. The girl soon shook her head.

"You can do it, Onii-chan!"

Ryuuji just clenches his teeth & hands, determined to win- for his little sister!

"Umbral Walker, Spectral Mail's effect. When placed into the bind zone, I can pay 1 gauge to draw," His yellow eyes stared down at the card he drew. "I cast Accel End. Five cards from my deck into the drop zone for one gauge," His yellow eyes soon closes. "Guess this is it. Knight Denial's effect, for each card in my bind zone, it gets Power +1000!""

"Forcearms-"

"Knight Denial's second effect, by lowering its attack with by 5000, I can destroy Forcearms!" The knight swings his sword, sending out a wave of blue inferno to incinerate.

"GWAA-gck-[Soulguard]!" Forcearms broke free.

"Again!"

"What-DARGGHHHH!"

"Forcearms!" The dragon was destroyed.

"I now activate Skeleton Claw's effect, by binding this card & Soulfire Fist, Requiem Impact from my drop zone, Knight Denial's gets Critical +1!" Knight Denial's arm & sword then flared up in an instant, becoming larger- more skeleton-like. "And when binded, I can activate Requiem Impact's effect. I can pay 2 Life & equip it from my bind zone!"

And in a blink of eye, the blue flames flashed. A gauntlet, similar to that of Sunshine Impact, soon encased his large hand. Its plate is obsidian with the gleam of an amethyst; the gem on the knuckle symbolizing a moon.

Ryuuji scanned it with is armor. The result is not pleasing. "T-The hell!?"

"Onii-chan? What's wrong?" Mina asked her shaking brother.

"This Requiem Impact has an original [Equip Cost] of 3 gauge & 3 Life. Its Power, 5000. No defense. Critical... Four,"

"F-Four!?"

"You're kidding, right!?" said the lackeys respectively.

"G-G-Ganbare, Onii-chan!" Ryuuji just clenches his teeth.

"I activate the effect of my second Skeleton Claw in my drop zone, by binding this card & another Spectral Mail, Knight Denial gets another critical & an additional 2000 power from its own effect," Knight Denial, now Power of 6000 & Critical of 4. "I also get another draw!"

NEEIGGHH! The steed soon cried out.

"Attack the fighter!" The rider then gallops forth!

"Onii-chan!"

"I cast! I've Through Your Moves-"

"I activate Umbral Walker, Haunted Organ's effect!" The crooked instrument bursts out form the floor. "This is my second copy, sent to the drop zone via Accel End & by binding this card & another card in my drop zone, I can nullify a spell,"

Ryuuji's card then shatters.

"ONII-CHAANN!"

And CRASH! The colossal sword smashes down on Gaigrander, dealing massive damage! But Ryuuji held his ground.

"N-Not... yet! I'm still..." Ryuuji then stared down at his last hope- a simple spell. "I still can-"

"Umbral Walker, Blood Lance's effect..."

"Wha-"

From the mists, yet another cursed weapon emerges. This time, an obsidian jousting spear with omnivorous red markings; held tightly by a broken-off skeleton arm.

"When I've dealt 2 or more damage, I can activate its [Counter] ability to either gain 2 Life... or deal 2 damage," Ryuuji's heart skipped. "As a fellow Big Brother, you at least have a bit of my respect. Be proud,"

The spear then shot forth!

"ONII-CHHAAN!"

"Like hell... I lose here! I pay 3 gauge & KASUTO! Or So the Dream I had Went!" The spear struck his side, flying into an audience seat off stage.

Specter then stepped forward. "You still wish to fight?"

"I can't be a loser... in front of my sister- not anymore! I'll do anything it takes to make her proud,"

"Onii-chan!" Mina grabbed Ryuuji's hand. "It's... okay... You're... you're already the coolest,"

"Mina..." A bump then hits his shoulder. It's the gauntlet, Requiem Impact.

"I've change my mind... you... have my full respect,"

GAME END. WINNER, SPECTER!

"Ryuuji!"

"Ryuuji," His two friends came to his side.

"Kousuke, Sakamoto..."

ATTENTION, DEFEATED FIGHTERS ARE TO BE TRANSPORTED TO ANOTHER AREA VIA TELEPORTATION.

"Heh, guess it's time..." said Ryuuji. "H-Hey, where's the kid?"

"Eh?" Mina & the others turns around.

The teen just sighed. "Well, whatever. Just promise me that you'll apologize to her, kay, Mina? I'll do the same too,"

The little girl nodded. "I will,"

"And you two better take care of my sister, right?"

"Sure,"

"Why not? It's not like you're gone for more than an hour,"

INITIATING TELEPORTATION.

"Heh. Then, I'll suppose... this is goodbye for now,"

"GRAAAGHHH!" BOOM!

MOVE END.

YOUR MOVE.

"Ghgh- Draw! Charge & Draw! Hades' ability. When Hades is destroyed, I receive 2 damage from the [Lifelink]. Then, I can pay 2 gauge to retrieve up to 2 Size 2 or less [Olympus] from my drop zone. I retrieve Gold Lion of Nemea & Demeter!" A skeleton soon rose from the ground, bringing forth two cards. "I now discard Demeter & activate Hermes' ability! Call!"

And from a golden gateway appearing on the ground, the god of boundaries rises up with a smile. "My, my... already taken over?" said the god to the boy shrouded in blood-red aura.

Baku reaches for his shield. "Demeter's ability. Draw!" His eyes narrowed. "I now Tribute from my hand Dionysus & Gold Lion of Nemea, alongside Hermes!"

The three monsters took off, spiraling into the sky as three comets of energy. Together, they soon impacted the ground, causing a dark portal to open between them.

Baku then moved his mouth. "He who rules of the dead. He who is tasked to watch over souls that departed! I pray to thee, punish this lingering ghost & drag him back to your realm!" A dark explosion bursts out. "X-Cell Call. The warden of the dead & unrelenting ghosts. God of the Underworld, Hades [C2: P-6000, C-2, D-5000]!"

With grandeur, he surfaces, still laid back on his skeletal throne as he stares uninteresting at Noboru. His eyes soon shifted.

"Oi, boy! This IS your last turn, right?"

"Yes," Baku bowed.

"Oho... If that's the case-" Snap! And from the back of his throne, a towering arm was soon rises up from the earth. Hades lets out a smile. "Then, I suppose 'Playtime is over', yes?"

Balling its hand into a fist, the arm slams down with a loud CLASSHH! The arm got deflected!

"CREESSSTTTT!" howled Noboru.

Hades just shook his head. "Boring AND Pitiful. Boy!"

Calmly, Baku raises his head. "Final Phase,"

"Kiri, how far?" asked Gao.

"According to the GPS, he should be-"

crack-KRROOOMMMM!

"GAH!"

"BAL!?"

"Lightning!?" said a shocked Kiri.

"Noboru!"

"Ah! Gao-kun!"

"Gaa-aah..." groaned Noboru as he slumber on the ground.

Baku bit his lips. His fists clenched so tightly that he can feel his finger almost drawing blood. "I... had to do it..." he murmured.

ATTENTION, DEFEATED FIGHTERS ARE TO BE TRANSPORTED TO ANOTHER AReeAaa^%$^%$...

The boy in armor then let go of his phone's screen. The first step is done. Now, all that's left is to... is to...

"I'm... sorry... Noboru..." Baku crouches down besides his body; head down. "I'll... be taking this... then..." His hand hovered over to the Crest.

"Crest..."

"What the- !?"

"AARRGHHHHH!" A crimson veil burst out of Noboru.

It's like an actual explosion. The blast eventually propels Baku to a nearby tree, producing a loud, heavy crash.

Noboru then got up. He's starting to float; the red aura, again, cloaks him; & his eyes 'leaking' red energy- like some sort of 'Avatar State'.

"I-Impossible... How..." muttered Baku, utterly shocked.

Hermes soon pops out. "It's best we retreat for now,"

"But Noboru-"

"NOBORU!"

"Gao?" The red in the boy's eyes immediately evaporates.

And following after that, his aura & his ability to fly quickly collapse as the boy starts falling.

"NOBORUUU!" The Sun Fighter soared. And at that very last second, Gao finally caught his friend mid-air.

The two soon tumbled onto the ground.

"Gao!"

"Gao-kun!" Bal & Kiri calls out; not far behind.

"Oi, Noboru! Noboru! Wake up! Noboru!" Gao shook his blonde friend. "Kiri!"

"Ba... ku..." spoke Noboru.

"Eh? Baku?" Gao then looks around...

...only to see no one but him & his companions at the scene.

"K-Kagome-chan...? Are you okay?" said a gentle voice.

"I... I am not fine, Haru..." muttered Kagome, clenching her hands. "To think, I let Akatsuki's hand slip in that ruckus..."

"It can't be help. Plus, the targets of those peasants is you so-"

"Fuyuki, those two are associated WITH me. Zanya's my bodyguard & Akatsuki's his brother! My enemies & would-be enemies will target them first to GET TO ME!"

... ...

"M-My deepest apologies, Kagome-sama. That was very short-sighted of me..."

"L-Let just... continue our search,"

GAME END. WINNER, TSURUGI TAKIHARA!

"And with that, fourty-one!" said Takihara as he briefly looked at his phone. "So how's progress over there, Stella?"

"I'm trying to establish a connection here," said Stella, fingers on her tablet. "Cardburn had already placed the beacon by the receptionist's desk. Hopefully we could, at least, find some sort of clue or lead- Urgh!"

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

"Apparently, we're too far away... Let's head back to the hotel, then. Hopefully, I can get a signal- Huh...?"

"Eh?" uttered Kagome as she walked out of an alleyway.

"K-Kagome Himiko!?" Stella retreated.

"And who might you be-"

"Kagome-sama, it's them. Tasuku Ryuenji's accomplices,"

The girl's irises shrunk. "You two!?" She then bit her lips. "I see... I suppose Akatsuki-kun not being here has some merits,"

"W-What are you-"

"Stella, stay back!" Takihara steps forward. "She's dangerous,"

"And exactly WHY am I dangerous?" Kagome furrows her brows. "Is it the information given to you by Tasuku Ryuenji?"

Takihara's eyes then widens.

Kagome shows her fangs. "So it is true... Not only he betrayed my wishes of not disclosing anything about the Sovereign's Banquet but also, lied to the public of his resignation from the Buddy Police! Tasuku Ryuenji, you wretched fox!"

"Tasuku had nothing to with this-"

"Then, explain why you are here!? Explain why you have implanted a spy within my organization? Explain why Tasuku, a so-called 'retired' officer, continues to involve himself in your operations!?"

"Spy? We did no such thing-AAHH!"

"Stella!?"

Out of nowhere, the blonde lady's legs were already encased in ice as Fuyuki reveals himself, standing right next to his O-Miko.

Takihara soon turned to her. "Let Stella go!" he demanded.

But with proper form & a stern face, Kagome replies. "If you wish you cast blame, cast your blame on your allegedly 'retired' Wonder Buddy Cop! For your & his sins of betraying the generous trust of the Shirushiboshi, you will be judged!"
