"Mom… Dad.. I'll be going now…" Gao smiled.
"Brother be careful…" Hanako hugged his little sister
"Yes my little sis.." Gao smiled again.
"Oh and this is for the road…" His mother gives him a snack for the road includes pizza, pudding and other stuff.
"Heavy!" Gao shouted and it seems he is overweight.
"Drum you too.." Hanako smiled.
"Ah hanako.." Drum said as he was excited.
At the train station
"Wait why do we have to use the train station why we can't just use buddy skill?" Drum asked.
"Well we don't want to cause any more trouble and more importantly.." Gao sighed.
"You're late…" AHsha shouted.
"Oh here we go again…" Mark facepalmed.
"Now you two.." Neru as the third person tried to calm them down as the fight gets more heated until fraust intervene
"Do you two mind on not fighting…" Fraust puts up a scary smile face
"Um ahsha let's stop fighting…" Gao said
"Agreed…" Ahsha said
Meanwhile at dragon world it seems tasuku is yet fighting against the so called his counterpart the dark purgatory knights
"Jack…" Gao said.
"Game end winner purgatory knights.." The black knight sighed.
"SO you're still hanging in there tsuku?" Variable coord shouted.
"Just be quiet for a little…" Tasuku said.
"Right.. Right…" Variable cord sighed.
"One more!" Tasuku shouted.
He now was preparing himself for the fiesta if he didn't get stronger then he can't defeat and get back gao at this state..
"Distortion Punisher!" The black purgatory knights said s he finish again yet another game.
"How can I beat him…" Tasuku said as he continues his training.
"Maybe you should do what gao do… have fun…. And don't be your old self and that kind of thing…" Jack suggested.
"Yeah…" Tasuku said as he was remembering fighting gao and it was a lot of fun even when he was using the disaster force he reluctantly risk himself from him.
"Let's try again.." Jack encourage tasuku.
"Yes!" Tasuku smiled.
"Let's begin again!" The black knight said as it seems that he was luminizing.
"Meanwhile…
At the train
"Gao you're a little not up to it today.." Mark said.
"Sorry I'm just not in a mood today…" Gao sighed as he looks the window.
"Well you're still thinking that tasuku guy?" Demyx asked.
"Well yeah. He is the one that introduced me to how buddyfight works…" Gao smiled.
"And you're not being honest with it…" Mikasa sighed.
"Well I don't know what come after me when I see him I just can't tell him that.." Gao sighed as he looks at a blank impact card on his hand.

"Oh someday you're fighting me and you're gonna need new impact cards well here it is.." Tasuku smiled.
"Thank you!" Gao shouted as he was holding tasuku's hand.
"Ah.. well good luck we'll try to stop kyoya…" Tasuku sighed

"Thank you.." Gao smiled
"I've insult you and you said thank you you're weird…" Victor was mad at him.
"Victor… I didn't want to say this but well I'll keep my mouth shut if you win against me.." Gao smiled.
"Curse you.." Victor then just keeps quiet he know that if gao was 100 percent serious he would lose in the most embarrassing way.
"I'm thanked..' Gao still smiled

"What?! You can.." Gao asked.
"Shh… don't tell ok I always sneak past them.." Axel smiled.
"And you're rank 8 by the way where is your buddy?" Gao asked.

"Got it.." Gao smiled.
End of flashback
"What?! You can go there I didn't think it even possible!" Neru shouted.
"Shhh.." Axel said.
"You're just the one that didn't know it… and you recklessly used the teleportation to your own advantage!" Victor shouted.
"Hey.. hey.. what you want to fight right now!" Axel shouted.
"Bring it!" Axel shouted.
"Here they go again.." Demyx sighed
"Well where did you go there?" Ahsha asked.
"Let's see big ben while eating sea salt ice cream.." Gao said while remembering the bitter taste but it quickly becomes a good feeling.
"Sea salt ice cream?" Neru asked.
"You can never can taste them in japan cause they haven't tried to sell them.." Axel said.
"Axel thanks for that time.." Gao said as he was keeping the stick that says winner in it..
"You're still keeping that?" Axel asked.
"It's my lucky charm… And I don't want to stop buddyfighting.. but if I lose…" Gao said.
"Don't say that.." Axel said as he remembered the same word gao said that buddyfight is like breathing to him.
"Well someday you could lose…" He said.
"But if I lose then.." Gao said and then there were silence.
"Now everyone we arrived at Kyoto…" The train stopped.
"Gao we talk again later…" Axel smiled.
"Right.." Gao said as they now going to Hakagune Academy since the school didn't permit them for a rest and that's a little cruel for the least.
Meanwhile…
"Open the flag!" Tasuku and the black knight shouted
"Dragon World!"
"Darkness Dragon World!"
The two represents their opposing flags.
"Charge and draw and then buddy call jackknife dragon!" Tasuku shouted as he is using his future force stateand then he now uses jack ability to call jackknife thunderstorm causing 3 damage
(Tasuku: hand 4 gauge 1 life 11)
(Purgatory: Hand 5 gauge 2 life 7)
Now it's the black knights move and he calls silver staff dragon to the right while now calling cross bow dragon to the center and buddy calls his buddy demios sword dragon to the right which let him gain 1 life and then equips Fatal Sword by paying one gauge. Then the black knight seemed to order his buddy to attack and then dsilver staff dragon making tasuku's life at 8 while now using demios sword dragon ability to attack again making tasuku's life at 6 and then cross bow attacks making tasuku's life at 5 and next demios sword dragon attacks for the third time by using his ability making his life at 3..
"Is this the end… defeated by my former self.." Tasuku thought
"Tasuku… rememberer why we are here.." Jack said.
"Cast Blue dragon shield!" Tasuku shouted as the last of the black knights attack with fatal sword was cancelled
(Tasuku: Hand 3 gauge 2 life 3)
( Purgatory: hand 3 gauge 3 life 8)
"Tasuku I've got to be honest are you still thinking about that fight…" Jack tries to reason with tasuku..
"I.." Tasuku said.
"Then I was right… after seeing gao again you've become like this and the burden gets higher by the minute and here you are fighting your past again…" Jack sighed.
"You're wrong.." Tasuku shouted.
"Then what am I wrong but tasuku know this someday we'll find a way to get gao back…. And that's a promise…" Jack said.
"Yeah… he said he'll be waiting at the festival then!" Tasuku shouted.
It's tasuku's move where he draw one card and then charge and draw again first off he uses dispersal by paying the gauge and then to aggressor mode and then successive cast 2 dragonic charge making his gauge more than enough while now using dragonic grimore to replenish his cards.
"Here.." tasuku said.
"Oh the end is near.." Variable cord said.
"Now I equip Jacknife Gold Ritter!" Tasuku shouted.
"I'll also save gao… that's my mission.." Tasuku thought and looked at a serious face
"Let's go tasuku.." Jack said.
"Ah!" Tasuku said while now they are attacking the black knight together and inflicted 5 damage and then to final phase step..
"Final Phase! Roar, Gargantua Punisher!" Tasuku shouted as he seemed to finish his attacked at the black knight as he loses..
"I won't hesitate any longer…" He thought as seeing the black night sky.

( Purgatory: hand 3 gauge 3 life 0)
"Now go sought that vision of yours to save a friend is a noble cause…." The black knight now turned into the armor deity, dynamis.
"Now you are ready.." The dragon said as now it uses it's power to change jackknife and tasuku into a more prior form as a star dragon world fighter.
"They did it.." Variable cord sighed.
"From now on you'll be a fighter represent star dragon world.." Tasuku now bears a white futuristic armor while Jack has also changed into a more futuristic form.
"Star dragon world?" Tasuku asked.
"A world that's more than you know a distant world where it has many advance technologies in a far a way place.." Variable cord said.
"Jacknife Dragon Findar the hundredth no.. Star Guardian, jackknife you must make his wish come true and Variable cord help jack if he is in trouble.." Dynamis just disappeared in a flash
"Right my lord…" Variable cord bowed.
"Okay how can I change back my clothes again?" Tasuku asked
"Well just concentrate and it will vanish and return you to normal.." Variable cord said.
"Right…" Tasuku concentrate and in an instance he was back in his original buddy police outfit.
"Ugh.." He said as he was tired while jack now was holding him before he falls.
"He sure do a lot of work now.." Variable cord smiled.
"He sure does wait how did you find us?" jack asked.
"Oh that.. well you could say his deck was the reason…" The gold dragon smiled.
"Then… that flashing light.." Jack said.
"Yes and yes.." Variable cord smiled.

"One more gaito!" Gao shouted.
"Well show me what you've got.." Gaito shouted and the match begin while at the end..
"Final Phase!" gao shouted as he finished his impact card with a purple scythe wave of attacks and declared him the winner.
"So that's your new impact?" Gaito said.
"Yeah…" Gao smiled as ryu watch them.
"From the way this is going I'm gonna lose to him.." Ryu smiled.
"But it's a necessary objective don't you think?" A black and white and black dragon appeared symbolizing his buddy.
"Yes… Arc… Yes indeed… he will bring apocalypse just like it should have been and tasuku I'm hoping that you get stronger cause you'll need it a lot.." Ryu smiled as he holds his buddy card and a new flag more like dragon ein but more older in art design while it has black and white coverage.
"Gaito.. I could go for some.." Gao said as he was about to fall..
"Well don't move.." Gaito said
"Gaito he is just a little over work…" Abygale said.
"Yeah I know…" Gaito sighed
"Finally tasuku-senpai… I can finally fight you.." Gao said as he weakly looking at his new impact card.
