"So... we can't prove his innocence?"
"His innocence has already been proven in court, Touma. His abuse is the result of the media pushing things too far,"
"So my enemy's the world, huh...?" A sigh of exhaustion left his mouth. "At any rate... thank you, Mr. Ryder,"
"My pleasure. Just send my regards to my stupid nephew, okay?"
"Kay..."
And with a soft smile on his face, Touma lowered his phone. His grin quickly fades away as he raises his head to the ceiling.
"Goddammit, Nico..." He muttered, near somberly.
And just as the young man stood up from his sofa seat in a lobby, a figure dashed past him. Touma, alerted, turned to see.
It appears to be a bespectacled youth; blue hair. He's hastily looking around.
"Akatsuki!" The youth shouted. "Dammit, how did he got lost?"
"Ki... saragi...?"
The startled youth reacted. He turned around; eyes widened. "Touma Akiyama!?"
"I'm flattered," The older teen crossed his arms. "To think the son of the police commissioner would know me,"
"I-I just heard your name from... a friend..." muttered Zanya. "How did you know mine, anyway?"
"Your father's a famous police commissioner," His brows soon furrowed. "Heard he has a... 'lot' of 'capable', 'hardworking' detectives... right...?"
"Er... yes... I guess?" said Zanya, his eyes slipping away from Touma's icy glare.
What should he do now? He knows this man as last night, Kagome had briefed her bodyguard, him of her task. Thus, he, too, knows his fate.
As the man closest to the O-Miko... closest to... ...
"S-say, Akiyama-san," spoke Zanya. "You... wouldn't be happened to bump into a girl into a er... priestess kimono... would you?"
"Seen her a couple times... Never talked to her- not like I have any reason to,"
"Good, cause I highly advised that you... you should keep your distance from her. I can't say why but..." The boy lifted his face. "You have to trust me!"
Zanya's eyes gleamed. Turning away from that honest pair of eyes, Touma responded with a face-palm & a sigh.
The young man soon nodded. "O... kay, then..." He answered. "You're not your dad's detectives... that's for sure,"
"Thank you very much!" Zanya bowed. "A-At any rate... I'll be going now,"
The boy then left; his shoulder passing by Touma's before their backs were faced towards each other's.
A flurry of footsteps rushes towards the door. Touma turned & gazed; fire burning in his heart as he gripped onto his phone tight.
Before long, under his breath, he then murmurs a wish & name.
"Please hang in there... Nico..."
Already, she visited this place yesterday & now, the young lady with the lollipop finds herself standing before it again.
"Rekka..." muttered the young lady as she crunches into her candy.
Her focused glare departed from the staff list before her, turning away from the board.
"Just you wait..." She soon pops in another lollipop.
It was then bellow caught her attention. "YOU THERE!"
The young lady turns. From the emptied road to her right, she spotted a large group of buff dudes in black coats marching towards her.
She took out her lollipop & groans. "Great... a big, bad, gang-up,"
The march then stops. "Please do not misunderstand us," A Doai-faced guy steps out. "We are only here to ask for a Buddyfight match-"
"Really!? You 'asked' for a challenge? You do know that this is a survival game, right?"
"We understood but to ambush others is cowardly & we, Seifukai, are not cowardly," Another man steps out. "I am the leader of the Seifukai of Aibo Academy. The name's Genma Todoroki,"
And just when the young lady can unwrap another lollipop, it slipped from her hands; hitting the ground.
"Erm... Miss... Miss?"
"Ah, yes?"
"May we ask for your name...?" Doai asked politely.
With a hand brushing her hair, the young lady answered. "Chelsea... just call me Chelsea," She then reaches into her pocket for another lollipop.
"Miss Chelsea, then," Genma walks up. "Challenge me,"
"Genma-sama, please! You're invading personal space- again-"
"Sorry, kid. Can't do that," said Chelsea.
"I BEG OF YOU!" Genma then drops to the floor.
"EEHH! GENMA-SAMA!?"
"I BEG YOU, MISS CHELSEA!"
"A no is a no, Genma-kun. And besides..." A grumbling noise echoed. "I need to find a restroom..."
"H-hey! Wait up!"
Specter slowed his feet. He then turns around. And just a few steps behind, he found a sweating Hanako, almost out of breath as she caught up to him.
"F-Finally..."
"You shouldn't have followed me,"
"Then, what do you think... I should do?" said the girl while panting.
Specter face-palms. His shoulder fell as his mouth sighed from behind his mask.
Should he leave her behind? He could do that & hopefully, she would call Gao... and...
He shook his head. "No..."
"Huh?" A skeletal arm soon reached out, to the unease of the little girl.
"It seems... I can't leave you alone... sorry, I promise I'll get you back to Gao,"
Hanako's eyes widen. "Eh? You know Gao-nicchan?"
"DECIEVEEEERRRR!"
"Heh!? What is that-"
And in a flash, a female figure sped past the two; knocking Hanako aside.
"AHH!"
"Hanako!" Specter caught the girl. He then turns to the speedster. "Hey, watch where you're going!?"
"Sorry about that," the young lady kept running; all while unwrapping another pop into her mouth.
She then stares at her phone. Right on the screen, there's a sound clip on display- titled 'Stomach Noise'.
"CHEEELLLSSEEAA!" bellowed the voice from far behind.
"Geez! Why me?"
And soon, she turned right; into an alleyway as Specter & Hanako both turns to what's chasing her.
They spotted a dust cloud approaching- No, it's a stampede! Of buff dudes in coats! Led by-
"G-Genma-nicchan!?" Hanako uttered.
"Wait... THAT'S GENMA-KUN!?"
"CHELSEA, YOU COWARD, YOU PROMISED THAT WE'LL-"
"Genma-nicchan!"
"Hmm!?" His eyes shifted & immediately after that, his irises shrunk.
"HHHAAAALLLTTTT!"
The floor tile then crumbles; tile crushed & pushed away as Genma slid past the two. The Seifukai soon followed... and... a tidal wave happened.
Dust flying, broken tiles flying... Specter quickly does the thing.
"Oh, man!"
"Wha-AAHH!" He pulled Hanako away.
And like a tidal wave, sand & concrete soon swept through the road.
Hanako eyes peels open. "EHH! G-Genma-nicchan!?"
Specter then shields her with his cloak as a splash of pebble flew by. "You okay?"
"Err... y-yeah?"
"HHHAAALLTTT!" shouted Genma as he marches out from the dust. "In the name of Aibo Academy, unhand that girl!"
"Unhand...?"
"I see... It seems that you've misunderstood me," Specter steps forward. "I'm this girl's friend; not kidnapper,"
"Do you really think I would fall for such a-"
Hanako jumped out. "Wait, Genma-nicchan!"
"Hanako?"
"H-H helped me just not that long ago. He's a good person! So please don't hurt-"
And almost instantly, Genma fell to his knees with eyes bulging & entire body sweating.
Doai & the others looked in awe. "Err... Genma-sama-"
"AARRGHH! WHAT SHAME HAVE I'VE BROUGHT!" The buff teen roars out. "TO THINK I WOULD JUST ASSUME! You there!"
"Eh? Me?" said Specter, pointing to himself.
"Challenge me,"
"Huh?"
"Challenge me!"
"E-eh...?"
"CHALLENGE ME SO I CAN BE RID OF THIS SHAME!"
"GEEEHHH!?"
"Tasuku!"
"Jack! You've found her?" The dragon shook his head. "Dammit, where did she go?"
"I think we should go back. I'm worried about the others,"
"I suppose you're right... If Sakharov's gone, then she might have already teleported,"
A set of lips curves. From a window directly above their heads, Sofia Sakharov peek out with a glee. "Everything according to plan... according to her plan,"
She then moved her hand to her hair. With no effort, she pulls it down- revealing a hidden orange hair. Next is her face; she immediately tears it off, revealing it to be nothing but a mask- Mathilda's mask!
"Guess the Wonder Boy Cop is just an ordinary cop, after all. Now then..." She puts on her glasses. "I suppose... it's about time..."
"TAKIHARAAAA!"
"Wha-!"
"That voice... Stella-san!?"
GAME END. WINNER KAGOME HIMIKO!
"Urrghh... Dam...mit..." muttered a battered Takihara.
ATTENTION, DEFEATED FIGHTERS ARE TO BE TRANSPoOoOooooorrrr...
"As per our agreement, you are now bound here; immune to this teleportation mechanism," said Kagome; the left side of her neck glowed. The O-Miko then stepped forward. "You will now tell me where Tasuku Ryuenji is..."
Takihara gritted his teeth. "Never-"
Flash! A young man -bearer of white, long hair & red eyes- then bursts out from Kagome's Core Gadget. His hand immediately grabbing Takihara's neck; lifting him up.
"Takihara!" Stella uttered. "Let him go!"
"Shujaku!?"
"There are things that cannot be done without harsher methods, Kagome-sama," He tightens his grip. "Now talk! Where is Tasuku Ryuenji?"
"E-Enough, Shujaku!" Kagome steps forth. "Release him-"
"LET HIM GOOO!"
"Wha-" A dragon appears, forcing Shujaku steps back as the reptile almost cut his arm down. "Star Dragoner!?" said Shujaku. "That would mean..."
Then, STOMP!
"Just what on earth... are you doing? Kagome Himiko!"
"R-Ryuenji Tasuku!?"
"So you've shown yourself,"
ANARCHY MATCH CODE 619LR. ENGAGE.
"Wha-"
"It seems we have been challenged," Shujaku retreats back into Kagome's Core Gadget. "Kagome-sama,"
"Very well. For the Shirushiboshi's noble goal!"
RAISE THE FLAG!
"Star Dragon World!" shouted Tasuku.
"Katana World!" said Kagome.
[[Tasuku] Life: 10; Gauge: 2; Hand: 6]
- [Left] [Center] [Right]
[[Kagome] Life: 10; Gauge: 2; Hand: 6]
- [Left] [Center] [Right]
"If I win, you & your cult are under arrest!"
"And should I win..." Kagome hesitates. "You will forfeit your Crest!" Her eyes soon lifted, showing no mercy.
"WHAT!?" said Jack.
"Fine by me!"
"Tasuku!?" uttered Stella.
"Tasuku! Don't be rash you can still-"
"Charge & Draw!" His chest emitted light. The draw unleashes a gust as the blue-haired boy gazed on his new card. He then flings it to the right! "Jack!"
The dragon growled. "Fine... If that's what you want to do!" His wings extend.
"Star Dragoner, Jackknife's [S2: P-5000, C-3, D-5000] ability!" Check top three cards; one goes into Jack's soul. "J-Igniter!"
"Grr-RAH!" The green dragon lunges forth. "Critical 4. Ignite Blade-"
"Art of Body Replacement!" And the blade smashes into an afterimage, barely hitting her!
Tasuku gritted his teeth.
MOVE END.
[[Tasuku] Life: 11; Gauge: 2; Hand: 5]
- [Left] [Center] [Star Dragoner, Jackknife]
[[Kagome] Life: 10; Gauge: 2; Hand: 5]
- [Left] [Center] [Right]
YOUR MOVE.
"Draw. Charge & Draw," The O-Miko calmly drew. "To attack so fiercely... It seems that you bear hostility towards organizations such as ours,"
"Organization? No... You're a cult! You brainwashed people & made them your puppets! Just those creeps who killed-" Tasuku's eyes widen. With a clenched fist, he backed off; silent.
"I see... so that's why... so that's the burden that chained you, yes?" Tasuku doesn't respond. "A pity that you are my enemy. I pay 1 gauge & equip!"
Petals surges around Kagome's hand, materializing a beautifully decorated katana, by the name-
"Ritual Blade, Kanna-no-Tsurugi [P-3000, C-2]! And call," From a cluster of sakura petals, the summoned descends. "Shikigami, Harumi [S1: P-3000, C-1, D-4000]!"
The petals soon scatter revealing a young shrine maiden girl dressed in white & pink. "A pleasure to meet you!" she bows slightly with a smile.
"Harumi's ability. When she is called upon & I am equipped with a [Regalia] item, I can discard one [Ninja Arts] to draw two cards!" Her lips then curves. "I [Set] Divine Blade Shrine. This card allows me to add one gauge every time a Buddy Gift or an X-Cell Gift triggers,"
"X-Cell!?" Stella.
"This early!?" Jack.
"I will now activate from my hand. The spell card Divine Blade Ritual!" She tossed the card to the ground. Immediately, a glyph of light & bonfire burst out from the core. Kagome raised her hand. "With its effect, I will now offer up Harumi & this Kanna-no-Tsurugi as Tribute!"
"What!? An item!?" Jack added.
"Yes, as Kanna-no-Tsurugi can be Tributed as a Size 3 monster when it is selected as Tribute. And with the Tribute's total Size becoming 4, the ritual can now commence!"
The sword, Kanna-no-Tsurugi soon splits into three faceless spirits. Alongside Harumi, they surround the bonfire as it flares up in mighty glory- as high as a pillar.
"O great Fukujin; One of the seven. I beseech thee once for might; I beseech thee twice for light. In thy name, I beseech thee thrice for a path that is bright! With fortune, guide us!" And in an instant, Ka-boom! An arrow light strikes down at the bonfire. Unfazed, Kagome held out her hand. "X-Cell Equip! Divine Regalia, Benzaiten [P-8000, C-1]!"
From the debris, it sprung out to her hand. A bright flash then erupts, transforming the O-Miko! Her hair became longer & whitened. Her eyes turn yellow & skin fair bright. And her entire attire completely rewoven in a new appearance- one befitting an avatar of a Shinto goddess.
"What the heck..." said Tasuku.
Kagome's leg stepped forward."You are gazing upon a divine champion, Tasuku Ryuenji & soon, you will know why..." The boy just gritted his teeth, unnerved. "X-Cell Gift. I gain one more Life & with Divine Blade Shrine, one gauge! Now, I shall pay 1 gauge to call Shikigami, Shujaku [S2: P-6000, C-1, D-5000] to the right!"
Right on cue, a twister of fiery feathers spirals up into the air.
"All enemy of Shirushiboshi shall perish!" said the stern man; red, long hair flowing down the back of his white kimono.
"Shujaku," Kagome gestured.
"Very well. From death, reborn again!" He conjured a small burst in his palms.
A card was produced & as it flew into Kagome's hand, the girl flings it forth. "I call Shikigami, Harumi to the left!
Harumi returns. "Back form the drop zone. Tehe,"
And with Harumi's effect, she discards one [Ninja Arts] to draw two more.
"Now, then... let us begin..."
... ... ...Bt-TOOM!
She suddenly appears before the green dragon! "Wha- Soul-" Slash! "Grrraagghh!"
"J-Jack!?" A few seconds then passed after his destruction. "H-Huh!?"
"When Benzaiten attacks, I can nullify a monster or item's ability... permanently!"
"Permanently!?"
"Now Shujaku! Harumi!"
"Eee-Yah!"
"Into ash!"
In quick succession, a petal storm & a rain of fiery feathers shower down on Tasuku, like a heavy waterfall.
"Eeergh!"
"Tasuku!" shouted Stella.
MOVE END.
[[Tasuku] Life: 9; Gauge: 2; Hand: 5]
- [Left] [Center] [Star Dragoner, Jackknife]
[[Kagome] Life: 11; Gauge: 2; Hand: 4] - [Divine Regalia, Benzaiten]
- [Divine Blade Shrine]
- [Shikigami, Harumi] [Center] [Shikigami, Shujaku]
YOUR MOVE.
"Grrgh! Draw! Charge & Draw!" The boy paid one gauge. "Star Dragoner, Jackknife to the right!"
And with the flick of his arms, his dragon shortly re-enters the fray. "Grrr-RAAHH!" he roars.
Tasuku then looked at the top three cards of his deck. "J-Whistle! With Jack's effect, I can put it into his soul & with J-Whistle's effect, I can put J-Igniter from my drop zone into Jack's soul!"
"HAH! Re-equip! Ignite Blade!"
"I now call another Jackarms, J-Whistle [S1: P-2000, C-1, D-2000] to my left!" A small drone-like robot appears before him, whistling a cute tune. "And when a [Neodragon] is on the field, J-Whistle's [Cell Core] activates!"
"So the time has come..." muttered Kagome; her face becoming more stern.
"I now Tribute Jackarms, J-Whistle & from my hand, this spell- Over Technology!" The card then splits into two ethereal [Dragonarms]. "Over Technology can be treated as two Normal Monsters when Tributed!"
Zoom! Zoom! Zoom! Like jets, they soared into the skies.
Tasuku's left chest glowed. "Feathers of steel uncontrolled by stars, now fly at my command & ravage my enemies with your merciless torrent!" The Tributes then joined, becoming a pillar of light. "X-Cell Call! Hi-Dragonarms, P-Harpie [C0: P-5000, C-1, D-1000]!"
And right from the pillar, strong winds were unleashed, alongside a mechanical shriek. A harpie-shaped [Dragonarms] has now entered the battlefield, bringing alongside it an arsenal of green, glass-esque feathers & talons.
"So... This is... an X-Cell Monster..." muttered a half-conscious Takihara.
Tasuku paid one gauge & one life. "Equip! Star Magnum, Dragnapulse [P-5000, C-2]!"
"Shujaku!"
"Very well," Under Kagome's orders, Shujaku moves to the center.
"P-Harpie!" The X-Cell Monsters lets out its deafening shriek once again.
It lunges forward; its fireball-like head first into the [Shikigami]. Shujaku fears not of it & immediately, he retaliates with a torrent of fiery feathers.
However, P-Harpie is faster. With lightning speed, the mechanical harpie dodged, sent out her feathers like missiles & within a single moment, talons & steel feathers rips Shujaku to shreds. It all happen simultaneously.
"For... the Shirushiboshi!" said the perishing monster as Kagome pulls out a card.
"Upon Shujaku's destruction, I pay 1 Life & cast! Seal of Punishment!" One gauge & one draw.
"Dragnapulse!" Tasuku fired.
Kagome evades. The beam lightly scorched her shoulders. "Grghh!"
"Jack!" The dragon nods & leaps forward. "P-Harpie's skill! At the end of this card's attack, I can [Crossnize] it into Jack to give him [Penetrate] & one more Crit!"
And in the flash of Crossnize, Jack gained a set of bladed wings & two talon-bearing arms- reminiscent of velociraptor's.
"Prepare yourself-"
"I cast Boundary Lines!"
"What!?" Jack utters. A forcefield had barred his way.
"And with its effect, I also get to summon a Token [S1: P-2000, C-1, D-1000]," Kagome held out her arm.
From her palm, a fox spirit leaps out from thin air before occupying the center position.
MOVE END.
"Attack nullification & top of that, a Token..." Tasuku mutters.
"A card like Boundary Lines is but the tiniest of what my [Shikigami]/[Regalia] deck is capable of,"
YOUR MOVE.
"Draw. Charge & Draw!"
[[Tasuku] Life: 9; Gauge: 2; Hand: 3] - [Star Magnum, Dragnapulse]
- [Left] [Center] [Star Dragoner, Jackknife]
[[Kagome] Life: 8; Gauge: 3; Hand: 3] - [Divine Regalia, Benzaiten]
- [Divine Blade Shrine]
- [Shikigami, Harumi] [Token] [Right]
Her latest draw made her smile. "Since the end is now nigh, allow me show you a few of its tricks! I Buddy Call to the left! Shikigami, Fuyuki [S1: P-2000, C-2, D-1000]!"
A spiraling snowstorm shortly descends, revealing the white-haired Onmyouji youth kneeling. "At your service, Kagome-sama,"
"Buddy Gift acquired & with Divine Blade Shrine's effect, I also gain one gauge... Now then..."
She then releases her divine weapon from her grip. Her form & the weapon soon disintegrate into fading light.
Everyone widened their eyes. "What are you-" But before Tasuku can finish...
"I pay 1 gauge & 1 Life. Equip!" Pink flowery petals swiftly gather before her, forming another katana. "Ritual Blade, Sakura-no-Tsurugi [P-6000, C-1]! When there are [Shikigami] monster on the field, Sakura-no-Tsurugi's [Cell Core] activates,"
"Say what!?" Jack uttered.
A green glow soon blooms on the left-back side of her neck. "I now Tribute Sakura-no-Tsurugi with Shikigami, Fuyuki; Shikigami, Harumi; my Token; & the Divine Blade Shrine that can be treated as a Size 1 [Shikigami] monster!"
The summoning ritual commences once again. One by one, the Tributes gathered around the bonfire as Kagome steps forward.
She chants. "O great Homusubi; the blood that birthed the kamis. I beseech thee for fire! Fire for forgery; fire for creation; fire to repel the most vile of evil! To enemies of light, display thy rage!"
The bonfire spreads out, engulfing the Tribute before shooting up into the skies! Kagome raises her arms. In response, a katana fell from the heavens & Kagome transforms once again.
Like before, her hair whitens & her eyes becoming yellow but now, two fiery horns appeared on her forehead. Her attire was, too, replaced. Her top consisting of a sarashi & two vambraces; while her bottom consisting of her kimono with part of the sleeves still hanging loosely from beneath the vambraces.
"X-Cell Equip... Divine Regalia, Kagutsuchi [P-5000, C-3]!" said Kagome as fiery halo manifest behind her.
"This..." Jack was out of words.
Tasuku gripped his left chest. It appears that his Crest has been pulsing even more violently than when Benzaiten is on the field. The boy eyed his opponent who seems completely unaffected.
Kagome then picked up a card in her hand. "I shall now activate Sakura-no-Tsurugi's ability. When said item is Tributed, I can discard one [Ninja Arts] from my hand to draw 2 more!" She peeked at her new cards. Immediately, her glowing yellow eyes narrows. "Everything is set,"
Tasuku's eyes widen. Set... everything is set!?
"Shikigami, Fuyuki to the right. Shikigami, Byakko [S2: P-7000, C-2, D-4000] to the left," Fuyuki's ability then gave her one gauge & one draw. "I now pay 1 gauge & by placing three [Ninja Arts] into this card's soul, [Set]! Hidden Shrine, Takamagahara!"
A thick nimbus soon forms above her head. And like the card's name suggests, behind its white clouds hides a well-decorated shrine, which emits a divine shine.
The O-Miko advances one more step forward. "Your end has been finalized, Tasuku Ryuenji," she announces. "But I am not heartless. Should you call back your spy within our midst, I'll-"
"To hell with your rules!" Tasuku shouted. "Like I believed someone who brainwashes the masses! And besides... you have no honour as a Buddyfighter,"
Kagome gritted her teeth but soon, let out a sigh. "It is true. I have blackmailed in the past & during this match, I offered you a bribe but have you not see the grave implications of your defeat? To Sovereigns, not all Buddyfight can be fought honorably with the powers we possess-"
"I'm the one who said 'Surrender your Crest'... Kagome Himiko..."
Kagome's eyes flew open. "That is because of the obligation I must adhere-"
"Obligations!? So are obligations enough to justify MURDERING MY PARENTS!?"
Jack instinctively turns to the boy, shocked. "Ta...suku...?" the dragon mutters worryingly.
Kagome's tensed shoulders soon fell. "I see... What oji-sama said is indeed true... I have my doubts of the noble Wonder Boy Cop requesting a spy to be planted but... it seems that such a noble heart can't truly exist," She blinked to the boy's very front. "Tasuku Ryuenji, for this point on. We are ENEMIES!"
She unsheathed her sword! In a blink of an eye, an inferno was unleashed into the Tasuku's face.
"Earth Barrier!" The shield repels both fire & attacker.
But Kagome does not relent. "Fuyuki! Byakko!"
"At your command!"
"No hard feelings, kid!"
Knives of ice showered & right after that, Byakko fashioned a giant claw gauntlet out of energy & swipes it down at Tasuku, leaving three lines of yellow-blue fire.
"Gghh! I can still-" The boy then saw Kagome, once again, within range. "What the-"
"Homura Kasen!" One upward swing & the fire erupts sending Tasuku flying.
"GGAAAHHH!"
"TASUKU!" Jack flew after him.
And in response to what's happens, a flabbergasted Stella utters. "Effect damage!? H-How!?"
"Once per turn, this Kagutsuchi can deal two damage upon my opponent taking damage of any form!"
"And that's the trigger!?" Stella added.
Up in the air, Jack soon descends with his human in hand.
"Are you okay, Tasuku?"
"Y-Yeah..."
"A bit too early to answer that question, don't you think?"
"Wha the-"
And Byakko delivers another swipe in mid-air.
"GWAAAH!"
"DAAGGH!"
"He has [Double Attack]!?" said Stella again.
"Under normal circumstances, Byakko has a [Call Cost] but during the turn, an X-Cell Weapon is equipped, I can choose to ignore it,"
"T-That's just-"
MOVE END.
The two then hit the floor.
"Tasuku!" shouted Stella.
[[Tasuku] Life: 2; Gauge: 2; Hand: 2] - [Star Magnum, Dragnapulse]
- [Left] [Center] [Star Dragoner, Jackknife]
[[Kagome] Life: 9; Gauge: 4; Hand: 1] - [Divine Regalia, Kagutsuchi]
- [Hidden Shrine, Takamagahara]
- [Shikigami, Byakko] [Center] [Shikigami, Fuyuki]
YOUR MOVE.
"G-Gurgh!"
"T-Tasuku..."
"I'm okay... Jack. How about you?" The dragon just stood up, making the boy smiled.
"This turn is your last, Tasuku Ryuenji!" Kagome shouts. "Any last words?"
"Have you no-" Tasuku held Jack back.
"This is my fight, Jack," he said. "My vendetta-"
But the dragon just responds by marching to his front. "Well, it's already mine too..." he said as their eyes meet.
Tasuku soon sighed. "Okay..." He said somberly. His face showed an inner fire fueled as he reaches for his Core Gadget. "DrrAAW! Charge and. DRAW!"
Tasuku's eye squinted. "V. Gradation, Quantum Ruler [S1: P-4000, C-1, D-1000] to the left!" The [Neodragon] appears & with no wasted time, its ability procs, giving Tasuku a new draw & a gauge.
Tasuku's eyes sparks. Immediately, he turned to his dragon. "Jack... ATTACK!"
"RWWRAAHHH!" The dragon jets forth.
"Boundary Line!" The scene repeats again.
"Why you-"
"It is done!" said Kagome.
"Quantum Ruler!" Tasuku called.
"Roger-"
"Takamagahara's effect! When I have 4 or more [Shikigami] in my drop zone, I can cast one of the [Ninja Arts] that is stored in its soul," From the shrine's door, the card flew out! "And the card I choose is... Katon, Blazing Armors! Farewell..."
Instantly, fire then surrounds the attacked Token, barring Quantum Ruler's advance. But that is not all that the spell card offers as soon after the attack failed, the fire shifts form & shoot forward as a heated arrow.
Tasuku quickly held up a card. "I cast- GWAAARGHH!" One damage! As the arrow scorched his shoulder.
"TASUKU!" Stella yelled in dread.
"Kagutsuchi's effect! Homura... KASEEENNN!" FWOOSSH! The flames wash forth!
"Jack!"
"On it!" The dragon stood in front of him. "RWARGH!" Pieces of his armament then flew out.
Kagome's eyes soon widen, in late realization! "Wha... NO!" The armor pieces then assemble, becoming a new [Dragonarms]- Dragonarms Siltfighter! Its effect can block damage! "It can't be!? When did you-"
And it was then the girl came to realization once again.
Tasuku let out a small mocking chuckle. "In response to your Katon, Blazing Armors; I've cast this... Scramble Crossnize!" Kagome gritted her teeth. "By paying one gauge, I [Crossnize] Jack with a Siltfighter in my drop zone,"
Kagome begrudgingly mutters. "Well... played..."
"Your compliment means nothing to me, cultist," Tasuku then open fires at the Token in her center.
Kagome was livid. "Tasuku... Ryuenji..."
"FINAL PHASE!" shouted Tasuku & Jack.
"Even if I suffer defeat here, you will not have your victory!"
"I pay 3 gauge! And transform Jack into an Impact Monster!" The armament arrives. Quickly, the dragon purges his wings for equipping of the weapon- a jackknife; its length several stories high. "Jack is now a Size 2 monster; a Power of 10000, a Defense of 5000 & a Critical of 3. With his effect, he [Crossnize] with one Dragonarms, Talnada in the drop zone to gain one gauge!"
"What!? Why!? is in his drop zone!" said Stella.
Tasuku held out his hand. From his drop zone, a card flew out a dark portal & into his hand. "And now, I cast Last Ditch Crossnize! In exchange for losing the fight at the start of my next turn, Jack will now purge J-Whistle & Talnada from his soul to [Crossnize] from the drop zone Dragonarms, Radiant Alma! And Jackarms, !"
"Double [Crossnize]!" Jack shouted as he further arms.
"Now, Jack's has a total Critical of 6; its attack can't be nullified; its damage can't be reduced; & by paying one gauge, he gets [Double Attack]! Now, Jack!"
"RWWAAAARRRRRHHHH!" The colossal blade ascends. "Double. Galatical. PUNISSHHEEERRRR!"
"KAGOME-SAMA!" shouted Fuyuki as six more [Shikigami] bursts out of the O-Miko's Core Gadget.
Magic shields were quickly erected & within the next second, Jackknife, "Galatical Punisher" was swiftly repelled.
"Grgh! RrrWAAHHHH!" The blade falls again.
This time, the shield cracks... breaks... cracks & breaks again until it reached the [Shikigami]'s formation & shatters it. Sparks & broken pavement then fly as it met Kagome's blade.
"GRGH! You will not... have your waaay..."
"Push it, Jack!"
"GWWWWAAAHHHH!" The boosters flared again.
And with another small, quick smash, sparks & rubble fly again... as the system sounded.
GAME END. WINNER, TASUKU RYUENJI!
"Knight Denial! Attack the fighter!"
Slash!
"GWAAARGHH!"
GAME END. WINNER, SPECTER!
"Genma-sama!" cried the Seifukai as they rushed to their leader.
Specter let out a sigh. "Geez... He's tough..." He then turned to the girl watching him from a distance.
Her expression displayed a pleasant awe. "W-Wow... You're pretty good, er-"
"Spe... ...It's Specter..." He softly answered.
Hanako smiles. "You're a pretty good fighter, Specter-san!"
"Thanks..." He briefly turned to the Seifukai before back to the girl, slightly crouching. "Head straight back to the hotel if you can't find your brother, kay?"
"Er... o..kay?"
"Specter-dono!" a voice soon shouted.
"For vengeance & for stamps, we demand that you demand us to challenge you to a fight!"
Doai jumps up. "Men! Stand down or-"
"Sorry-got-to GO!"
"AFTER HIM!"
And within the next few minutes... they did... More than half of the Seifukai's numbers... did! Doai, upon seeing almost 80% of the members leaving, soon places his palm on his face, groaning as Hanako watches.
The girl giggled. "Oh... that poorDoai-faced oni-chan," Under a whim, she then took out her phone as a realization struck her. "Ah, I forgot to get his number!"
"Where did he go?"
"Spread out! Call the others if your see him," said the Seifukai members as they disperse from the area.
"Geez! What IS with Genma-kun & his friends?" Specter's voice muttered.
He then pokes his head out from a shadow on the ground & after looking around, he sighed of relief. "Well, at least, they're gone..."
His candlestick Buddy soon pops up, waving his "arms".
"She's in safe hands, Candle," replied Specter. "You don't need to worry,"
The candlestick 'dances' again.
This time, Specter lowers his head. He shook his head slightly. "No, Candle... I can't go back anymore... I'm no longer Gao's... or Hanako's brother anymore..." His skeletal fist shivers. "I... I'm... not Yota... Mikado anymore-"
"E... Eh...?"
A massive shock then surges into Specter. Panickingly, he turns around- towards the sound. And it was then his heart sunk.
"Y... Yota...nicchan...?" mutters Hanako as she stood before Specter, confused & scared.
She lost... Kagome Himiko had lost... And now, she sat on the floor; head lowered & body restrained by magic glyphs. Her [Shikigami] guardians are nowhere to be seen as they are all inside her deck, which is by her kneeling knees- sealed by glyphs.
Tasuku approaches her. "Now... tell me why?"
"Why what?" Pair of hostile eyes looked up.
"Nicholas Middleton is a Sovereign, isn't he?" he asks. "So why can't I detect him?"
"Maybe he has the willpower for the feat... or maybe he lacks awareness of his 'status' as Sovereign,"
Tasuku squinted his eyes. "You're lying,"
"I assure you it is the truth," said the O-Miko. "Though, I doubt someone as vengeful & bipolar as you would believe,"
... ... ...
"T-Tasuku," The boy turned around. It is Stella with an awkward smile on her face. "T-Thanks..."
"It's okay, Stella-san," Tasuku smiles sweetly. "By the way, can you bring her back to HQ-"
"That won't be happening," Kagome stood up. "Tasuku Ryuenji, You have made a grievous error. Though I am indeed 'arrested' on this very spot... it will soon no longer be the case,"
I...Tia...ng TELePOrRr...
Tasuku's eyes immediately flew open. "Don't you dare-" His arms fly at her.
"Your vendetta will be your downfall! I assure you that, Tasuku Ryuenji..."
And with a pair of malice-filled eyes, the O-Miko vanishes within the light as Tasuku's hand passes straight through, failing in its task.
"Let's meet back at the hotel," said Gao before he & Bal took off.
Those words still freshly linger within Miseria's worry-riddled mind as he carries Noboru's unconscious body down the streets.
"Do you think they will find Hanako-chan?" mutters the humanoid with blade arms, who follows close behind.
"They both have phones, Joker. They'll find each other sooner other or later... although..."
"Although?"
"I'm just worried about-"
"My words, if it isn't Miseria of the Omni Lords!" said an unfamiliar voice to the two.
Kiri & Joker looked to their front. Like a wild west thug, the stranger soon walks up to them with a confident smiles & two friends by his side. It was then footsteps can be heard from behind- no, it's everywhere! One by one, more strangers began to pop out from the nearby alleyways & venues. They were surrounded.
"Kiri..."
"Take care of Noboru-kun..." He gently laid the boy on the floor before walking forward to the leader. "Hello, there er..."
"Johnny,"
"Ah, Johnny-san," said Kiri with a gentle smile. "May I ask of your business with us here?"
Johnny chuckled. "You already know," He then lifts his hand.
Immediately, one of his lackeys stepped forward & before long...
ANARCHY MATCH CODE 191FA. ENGAGE.
"A match? Er... Johnny-san, can we postpone this till later? I have a-"
"Kiri-sama!"
ANARCHY MATCH CODE 001FB. ENGAGE.
In response, Kiri quickly turns around. Slightly above Noboru, his Core Gadget is seen floating- already activated!
Kiri turns back to Johnny. "I see... so you're here to-"
"Steal stamps from an unconscious body? Well, duuhh... Why do you think I have these many people here?"
Miseria furrowed his brows. "Joker, take Noboru's place,"
"Eerr... about that..."
"Is something wrong?" Kiri turns back. An eerie surprise greets him. "N-Noboru-kun?"
The yellow-haired boy stood before him; hand loosely gripping onto his Core Gadget as he faced his opponent.
Noboru's opponent flashed a look to Johnny. Johnny nodded. Before long, the lackey -without hesitation- calls out. "Open the flag!"
"Open the flag..." murmurs Noboru.
"Dragon World... What the-" Everyone's eyes widen.
"W-Wha... This flag..." Kiri lost his words.
And as horror- soft as mist- fill the Third Omni Lord's heart... he saw Noboru lifts his head, revealing a pair of red eyes & an unnerving smile as he announces his flag with a near-whisper. "Dragoon Chevalier..."
The end.
