BuddyFight: High Stakes

by Kohdoku

Hideki is a high school student who is not interested in Buddyfighting. However, everything changes when he accidentally unleashes a Buddy Monster who was being used in the "Compatability Experiment", a study with the goal of making it possible for any person to buddy with any monster, getting him tangled between the study and those who seek to use the research for their own ends.

~INTERMISSION~

Hello there! I'm Paruko, here to guide you through the World of Buddyfight: High Stakes!

Like how water ebbs and flows, users of the Aqua World specialize in keeping the battlefield constantly shifting and unpredictable. Aqua World decks rely on confusing the opponent by attacking from unconventional angles and keeping them on their heels. While the Ocean Dragons have more force, the Nereids are far better at trickery, and proper synergy tends to come from mixing the two. Aqua World is a lot of fun to play, but it sounds like just as much work.

Next Chapter: Just who are Marie and Shion and why would they be targeted by the mysterious Samurai? Hideki learns what he's really in for when he is introduced to the Compatability Experiment. Things seem to go smoothly, but could Shion be keeping a secret of her own? All will be revealed in the next exciting act: "Fate and Friendship".
