"~Ah~" Azura hummed.
"Still as elegant and beautiful as I remember." Hope said walking in.
"Ah, Hope." Azura said turning to him with a smile.
"Do you remember when we first met back when I lost all my memories thanks to Shade Man? When I thought I was an adopted member of the Nohrian Royal Family?" Hope asked.
"How could I forget? It seemed so long ago that you helped me and everyone else defeat Anankos and restored Valla when Corrin was announced as King, and here I am as a member of Spirit Force and fighting by yours and the others side once more." Azura said.
"I wish I could've invited you to join us then, but then again you had a Kingdom to Rule. I couldn't just let you leave Corrin's side." Hope said. "Speaking of the Vallan King, I hope he doesn't mind you traveling with Ace."
"We stopped by there for a bit a while back and I managed to see him and our children, Kana and Shigure. An entity of Shigure appeared before me as part of my trial that allowed me to become the Diva class. Even now they're with me in my heart no matter how far apart." Azura said as she held her pendant.
"You know, it's funny. Back then, your songs took so much out of you. But when you sing solo and you and Ace perform those Duets, it feels like you don't lose any steam at all." Hope said.
"I actually taught him my songs and he was able to channel some of his power along with mine whenever one of us sang." Azura said.
"So that explains why you don't strain yourself when you sing anymore. Come to think of it, when Ace performed and healed Gaito, he didn't feel any backlash from Death Count Requiem in his later fights. Did Ace… heal you so that you don't feel any strain or side effects after using your Special Songs?" Hope said.
"Yes. I owe him for what he did for me back in Godshill, and now I'm traveling alongside him as his mentor and friend." Azura said.
"Hey, because you're hear, I feel like I also have a long lost friend. Not to mention everybody on Jexi's team." Hope said. "No matter what, we'll always be friends. You can be sure of that."
"Of course." Azura said. "Don't forget about Roy as well."
"Yeah. of course I wouldn't." Hope said as his pendant gained a water blue color.
"If you two are done taking a trip down memory lane, we've got a Guru to track down. Gao's already up and at em, and he's waiting on us." Edna said.
"Of course. Let's go Hope." Azura said.
"Right behind ya." Hope said.
Later, out in the harbor, the group along with Gao's spotted the same old man from before fishing.
"No mistaking it, that's him." Gemini said.
"That guy must have a lot of hobbies. First he finds coins on the ground and he fishes too, not to mention Buddyfight." Papelne said.
"We could start by saying hello and giving a proper thank you." Chibi Panda said.
"Yeah, it's thanks to him we even knew about the Miracle Life Points at all." Batzz said.
"Yeah, let's go talk to him." Ace said as the group walked up to him. "Excuse me sir?"
"Whoa nelly!" He said as his line tagged. "It's a big one! Don't stand there like a bunch of lumps on a log! Help me!" he said.
"Gotcha! Fini!" David said as he armatized with Tapu Fini.
"Luzrov Rulay!" Yoko said as she armatized with Mikleo.
"Lexida!" Ace said as he entered his Carnage Form: Lexida.
"Come on! Big Fish!" Hope said before they fell over before seeing an empty line.
"Aw nuts….my catch got away. Felt like a whale too." He said.
"Man… That worked so well last time." David said as everyone reverted.
"It was gonna be my dinner." Guru said.
"Well….Ji give you this." Junior said handing a chocobar.
"Ah! Thanks." He said before quickly cutting it into slivers.
"What are you doing?" Lucy asked.
"If I cut it up, I can have a sliver for each meal. Should last me a whole month." Guru said.
"Well, whatever floats your boat, I guess." Hope said.
"In any case, i have to thank you. Your knowledge of Miracle Life saved me from being split from my body forever." Gao said.
"Hmmm? Oh!" Guru said before spotting something. "I think I see a dime! Go get it!" he said tossing a card as out came a raccoon like creature.
"Pom Poko!" He said jumping over to said coin.
"What the heck? A tanuki?" Hiyoko asked.
"It was just a seashell." He said.
"Grr. If it ain't money...I banish it!" Guru said tossing it back into the sea.
"So, if you came out of a card, does that mean you're a monster?" Batzz asked.
"And what if I am?" The tanuki asked as they both stared daggers.
"Actually, you're on the nose, Batzz. That's Giant Tanuki, a monster from Katana World." Tails said.
"Aw...he's so adorable." Stoj said.
"Hold your tongue! I'm not adorable! I prefer vicious or dangerous." Tanuki said.
"I'd watch it around my buddy little lady, he can be a right grub." Guru said before collapsing to the ground. "So hungry."
"Then eat more chocolate." Hope said.
"No...it's gotta last me for a month." Guru said.
"Wait a second, I know what'll satisfy you." Nana said. "How about one of Eleanor's famous choco-drinks?"
"Here you go!" Eleanor said holding out a cup.
"Why thank ya kindly." Guru said drinking it and suddenly perking up. "Hoo-Wee, this is delish! How do ya do it, missy?"
"~That's a secret~" Eleanor said.
"If you want more to eat, you could come to my place. That way you can have a lot more food and you can have some more of that drink." Gao said. "Think of it as a show of thanks for helping to save my life."
"Why don't we go ahead and take him to our place and have Sanji cook up a meal?" Soul said sarcastically.
"Why thanks." Guru said.
"Wait, what?" Soul asked.
"Oh...that reminds me. I've got a couple of lady friends helping me nowadays so mind if I call them over too?" Guru asked.
"Lady friends?" Hope asked as Sanji suddenly was interested.
"Call them." Sanji said.
"Hey! You two can finish searching now." Guru called.
"Ugh...finally. I was about to have a back spasm searching the ground." a voice said as rising was a familiar demoness.
"Is that...it is! Yo, Paimon!" Rainbow said.
"Little Rainbow. You sure haven't changed." Paimon smirked.
"Wait a second… if Paimon's here, then that means the other one is…" Pit said.
"I'm sorry I couldn't find any change, master. But I did save a few ants and…" Said a familiar skyian who then saw David. "Ah! Ishihara! The gods are blessed. I now have another chance to save you!" She said.
"Oh no…" David said.
"Uh… I'm drawing a blank, who are these two?" Luna asked.
"The Skyian is Angelique, she's from the Sky Universe. She was trying to convert me into that religion of hers. But if you ask me, she's just a glorified stalker." David said.
"And this is Paimon, she's a Demoness from the Demon Universe. She's aiming to become a rockstar like me." Rainbow said.
"A compadre in rock and roll?! Awesome!" Luna said throwing up rock horns in excitement.
"Thank you so much gods. Now that David has returned, I can save his soul and have him see the light!" Angelique said praying.
"Uh… Save my soul from what, if I may ask?" David asked.
"From damnation of course. You're soul has become pitch black with darkness and evil. But don't worry...I shall make it my eternal mission to save you!" Angelique said before spying Simon. "What's this? I feel...he's just as dark souled. Don't worry young man…" she said grabbing his hand. "I will do all I can to save your soul too!"
"Ignore her, Simon. She has a Messianic complex." David said. "...Mine's not that bad, is it?"
"Your soul or your Messianic complex?" Sectonia asked.
"Hey, just be glad he doesn't have the abilities of an Umbran Witch." Simon said.
"An Umbra Witch? You mean those evil witches said to worship darkness. Oh...but don't worry. You may have had a horrible childhood up to this point but it matters not to me." Angelique said.
"Simon...run!" Ace said as Simon zipped away.
"No, please wait!" Angelique said before Paimon grabbed her.
"Alright, down Angie!" She said pulling Angelique back. "You're makin Davey feel uneasy here."
"So how come you two are here with Guru? I thought after the WBC, you both went back to the Sky and Demon Universe." Hope said.
"Eh...after the WBC, we decided to get better at Buddyfight. So we've been learning with Guru and improving our decks. You know, in case another tournament rolls about." Paimon said.
"Anybody else sensing a heaven and hell theme from these two?" Ace asked.
"You're not the only one, dude." David said.
"Wait...you two...You're Nephilim. You're from my Universe!" Angelique said.
"Yes, me, my older brother, and younger brother that ran off are the princes of Devaloka." Ace said nervously.
"Yes. I can see it. A pure whiteness from the older one. He is truly blessed by the gods of our universe." Angelique said.
"Ugh...cut the soul saving crap. Let's get going. I'm starving." Paimon said.
"Oh, right! We were gonna treat Guru to a meal. You two hungry?" Nana asked.
"Are you kidding? I'm so hungry I could eat a whole circle of hell! Gimme some grub already!" Paimon said. "C'mon Angie, you gotta admit you're starving too."
"I am in the middle of a fast. Only 600 more hours till completion of it." Angelique said.
"Whatever…. I'll just eat your food then." Paimon said.
At the Galaxy King…
"Please Angelique I may be an Umbra Witch but I'm still a good guy!" Simon said as he was being chased by her.
"I see the goodness in your trying to escape. But I know I can make you better." Angelique said.
"Ugh… I'm too tired for this." David said. "I mean, I can get Simon, but why me?"
"Huh? Why you? Oh. It's cause of this old rumor that you were a murderer." Paimon said.
"That was highly exaggerated." David said.
"I know. I told her that rumor to try and throw you off your game during the WBC." Paimon said.
"But as you can tell from the result of our match, it didn't work." David said. "Great… Now I have one more stalker to deal with."
"Speaking of hard fighters. I don't see the big boss around. Where's that Jexi kid?" Paimon asked.
"Gone. On a journey to find...descendants of the ancient kingdoms." Hope said as Paimon and Angelique stopped in their tracks.
"Uh… hehehe… see the thing is… Angie and I...we know about them." Paimon said.
"Didn't see that coming." Al said.
"Well, me more than Angie since I'm the older one. See...it's been said that every universe had at least one or more kingdoms within their borders. But...passing years caused most of them to collapse. Only remaining long lasting one is the Dark Kingdom." Paimon said.
"Interesting." Spade said.
"But there are rumors that rightful descendants of these kingdoms still live." Angelique said. "Three notable ones being the Ancient Kingdom, Justice Kingdom and Sky Kingdom."
"I've never heard of those names before. But it sounds like the Kingdoms really do exist. Our friends on a mission to gather em all, but I think it'd be easier if we gathered some ourselves." Hope said.
"Well...let us tell you what we know. For the Ancient Kingdom, their royal family were said to have fled to the Tribal Lands." Paimon said.
"Tribal Lands?" Maya asked.
"In short...a world mostly made of water and small islands where only tribes exist on each one. It's in the Past Universe." Paimon said.
"What about the Sky Kingdom?" Ace asked.
"There was one survivor, a lone prince who fled to parts unknown. He was said to have been born with something unlike more Skyians...draconic wings." Angelique said.
"So a half dragon then?" Ryu asked.
"That's the thing. Both parents were Skyians and Dragons don't even live in our universe." Angelique said. "It was so bizarre."
"As for that Justice Kingdom, it's royal family fled to a world in the now Hero Universe Capital of Hero City." Paimon said.
"Then I guess we know where to look." Hope said.
"But sonny, lemme tell ya." Guru said. "Way y'are now, you all can't help yer friend out by lookin' for those descendants."
"What?" Hope asked.
"If y'don't believe me, then one o' ya can team up with Sun boy there and fight me, and either Paimon or Angelique." Guru said.
"I'll fight alongside you, Guru. I will show how far I've come from your teachings." Angelique said.
"I shall fight alongside Gao if it means proving we are strong." Ace said.
"No you won't. There's only one person Angelique wants." David said.
"Wouldn't it be two considering she wants Simon too?" Aelita asked.
"Yeah, but Simon doesn't even buddyfight. Ace does, but I don't feel like taking a chance here." David said.
"Alright enough! We're going out to the river and buddyfighting." Lemon said. "So everyone out now."
They later arrived at the river.
"It should be interesting to see Angelique and David run it back. But the real mystery here is what kind of fighter the Guru is." Hope said.
"Just shut up and watch Blue boy. You'll see how badly your pal will lose." Paimon said.
"Rise up! Almighty dragon! Luminize! Demon Lord Dragon of Tempest!" Gao said.
"Guess its time to show you! The friendship between the Divine and Earth! Luminize! Nirvana or Gehenna!" Guru said.
"In the darkest lands at the depths of the abyss, a ray of light cuts through the darkness and shines on a new future! Lumenize, Shining Will!" David said.
"We are all children of the gods and wish to do our best to earn their love and care! Luminize, Angel's of Heaven!" Angelique said.
"Raise the flag!" the four said.
"Dragon World!" Gao said.
"Magic World!" David said.
"Divine Guardians!" Guru and Angelique said.
"They're both using Divine Guardians." Hope said.
"Gehenna and Nirvana? Oh. Heaven and Hell, right." Ace said.
"But what is this flag?" Stoj asked.
"It's a special flag like the Chaos. Its effect allows you to use any card with the Guardians attribute. Your life becomes 12 and initial gauge is 1." Lemon said.
"That seems pretty useful." Ace said.
"Believe me, it is. But the name. Nirvana or Gehenna…. I cant help but wonder if this guy uses more than just Divine Guardians." Hope said.
"He probably uses Angel or Demon monsters, though it's too early to say." Ace said.
"Now...since we are kind gentle souls...you two are allowed first move." Angelique said.
"Okay. Charge and draw. I equip Demon Long Sword, Dragoroyale!" Gao said.
10-9
"Then call Replenisher Pentar to the center!" Gao said as Pentar attacked Guru.
12-10
"That's all I can do for now. You're up, David!" Gao said.
"O-okay! Charge and Draw!" David said. "First off, I'll call Dragowizard, Qinus Axia to the right! And when he enters the field, I can deal 1 damage to any fighter."
"Ah!" Angelique said being zapped.
12-11
"That was quite a "shock", huh?" Mari asked.
"Oh, Mari… too soon." Nana said.
"Next I call to the center Magician of Glass, Will Glassart and Dragowizard, Rainbow Horn to the left. Now Will, attack the fighter!" David said.
11-9
"And when Will deals damage, I can pay one gauge to draw a card." David said.
End of Move.
"Now...it's about time to show you whippersnappers what we can do." Guru said. "Draw! Charge and draw! Now, I'll call Impartial Dragon, Monochrome Dragon to the right. Then call Impartial Knight, Justlaw to the left. Then it's time to call the star attractions. Giant Tanuki...buddycall to the center." Guru said.
"It's time to shine!" Tanuki said jumping out before growing into a large figure as he landed and made the ground shake. "I am here, pom poko!"
"Whoa, he really is big!" Flamberge said.
"And pretty strong by the looks of it." Kendo said.
"Now...Justlaw crushes that little Pentar! Tanuki's effect begins! When a monster attacks, I gain a gauge and he gets a critical." Guru said as Tanuki started to grow as Justlaw destroyed Pentar. "Now you're turn, Monochrome Dragon!" Guru said as Monochrome slashed Gao.
9-7
"Go ahead and crush him like a bug, Tanuki!" Guru said.
"Poko! My other effect activates! When I attack, Guru gains a life." Tanuki said running.
11-12
"I attack!" Tanuki said slamming Gao with his tail.
7-3
"Now...its time to show you my power!" Angelique said. "Draw! Charge and Draw! Like Guru...I cast Gate of Pardon Forgiven! Since I have no monsters and no cards in my drop zone, by putting a card to the bottom of my deck, I can call a monster from my deck by paying its call cost.
"Why doesn't that sound good?" David asked.
"I pay 1 gauge, one soul and one life to call Hellheaven Dragon, Hellrend Heavens to the right!" Angelique said as a large dragon appeared.
9-8
"HUGE!" Al, Mari, Stoj, and Papelne shouted in fear.
"Next, I'll call Star Ocean Envoy, K22 Vonnegut to the left! Then, Equip, Nirvana Sword, Heavens Marius!" Angelique said holding a sword and bow resembling a violin.
"Oh boy, now I'm in for it." David said.
"Now...let the music play. Hellrend Heavens, attack Glassart!" Angelique said as Hellrend Dragon struck Glassart. "And Penetrate!"
10-8
"There's more. When a Guardian on my field attacks, I can return up to one monster from the field to hand. So I return Qinus Axia! You also take damage for it." Angelique said.
8-7
"And my attack continues! Vonnegut...attack the fighter!" Angelique said.
7-5
"Now the time has come for my attack!" Angelique said going for David.
"I don't think so! I cast Solomon's Shield!" David said.
"Not bad...but...we aren't done yet. I activate Vonnegut's ability. By returning him to the top or bottom of my deck...I can stand another monster of the guardian attribute to attack one more time and I gain a life." Angelique said.
8-9
"But the only monster out is…" Hope said.
"Hellrend Dragon...attacks the fighter!" Angelique said.
5-3
"David...things are not the same as last time. I've gone through much intense training in order to surpass your level. I'm far above you now." Angelique said.
"(Maybe she's right… I don't see a way I can come back from this. But...I do know one thing. I made a mission to rescue Cheetah from the darkness within her… And I intend to do it my own way!)" David thought. "That may be true… But… You know how these things go. As long as I have life points left, this battle is far from over. Because, until the last card is played, you will never know what will happen! Draw! Charge and Draw!" David said. "First I'll cast Magical Goodbye! This lets me send Rainbow Horn back to my hand. Now I pay two gauge to call to the center, Dragowizard, Tempest Wing! And his effect activates. By sending a Wizard from my hand to the drop zone, I can send a monster...to your gauge!"
"To my gauge?!" Angelique asked.
"Yep, so it's time for Hellrend Dragon...to say sayonara!" David said.
"Looks like the tables are turning now. Go, David!" Ace cheered.
"Next, I call to the right, Great Warlock's Disciple, Zessica!" David said. "And when she enters the field when there's a size 3 Wizard there, I get to draw a card. And what's better than one? How about two? Call another Zessica to the left! Now, it's time for an All-Out Attack!"
"Oh no!" Angelique said as David's monsters struck her the first time.
9-5
"Tempest Wing has Double Attack. Which means, he can attack again!" David said.
"I cast! Light of Guidance! Reduce damage to zero!" Angelique said.
"Now Angelique's hand is empty." Hope said.
"Unless she can pull something off, she'll be toast next turn." Sachiko said.
"That is if she even gets one. David might wrap it up here." Hope said.
"Hope, enough. Not everyone wants to use an impact like you do." Lemon said.
"I know…." Hope said.
"She's right. David is a man of honor. He is not the type to resort to such a method." Ross said.
"A man...of honor." Angelique said.
"Don't rub it in." Ace said.
"No….what I mean is….David...I was entirely wrong about you." Angelique said.
"Hm?" David asked.
"I thought you were in need of saving like all of those during the Tragedy. But...know this...I see now...you are a noble and just being. I promise, even if you lose I will no longer chase after you." Angelique said.
"I… I didn't really mean it like that. I was an athlete before, so I know how it feels to have fans come after me. But...I can see how dedicated you are to your cause. Win or lose, I'll do what I can to help you out." David said. "But… my finisher is gonna have to wait until next turn, because I'm all out of moves."
"Now it's my turn. I draw! Charge and draw! I call Bombadier, Cylinder to the left and then...Buddycall Batzz to the right!" Gao said. "Now...I'm gonna strike that Tanuki!"
"Oh no!" Tanuki said before vanishing and then reappearing. "Kidding, I have soulguard."
"Then I'll attack again!" Gao said.
"I activate Justlaw's ability! I pay a gauge and recall Tanuki to my hand!" Guru said. "I'll tell ya! Buddyfights are a hoot!"
"No argument there. But… since you returned your center monster, that means you're wide open!" Gao said. "Cylinder, attack Guru!"
"Gah!" Guru screamed.
12-10
"Double attack!" Gao said.
10-8
"Batzz! Get him!" Gao said.
"I cast! Dragon Sky Regression!" Guru said sending Batzz back to Gao's hand.
"Nuts! My turn's over." Gao said.
"Guess that means were up again." Guru said taking his draw phase. "I think it's time I wrapped this up."
"I need to win too. I can do this." Angelique said. "Gods...you have been there for me ever since I was little. So please...help me. Draw! Charge and Draw! Ah! This card….this is what I need!" Angelique said.
"Looks like Guru and Angelique are ready to wrap this up." Kendo said.
"Please forgive me, David. But...this is where things must end! First I activate Pardon's ability. Return three cards from my drop zone to the deck and regain a life.
5-6
"Now….I call! Pure White Envoy, Whitia!" Angelique said as a figure in silver armor appeared. "With five or less monsters in the drop zone, she gains penetrate. But...since there are 0 monsters...she gets double attack too."
"Shucks… Looks like there's no way out of this one." David said. "Sometimes, being an honorable warrior...is knowing when to admit defeat."
"That's David for ya. Honorable, even in defeat." Hope grinned.
"David...you and my fight….I really enjoyed this. It'll be the last I'll have for awhile. Now...link attack with Whitia! And destroy Tempest!" Angelique said as she and Whitia destroyed Tempest. "Penetrate!"
3-1
"Whitia...finish this!" Angelique said as Whitia took down David.
1-0
Game over, David! Winner: Angelique!
"Well...you did good Skyian girl. You definitely graduate." Guru said.
"Graduate?" David asked.
"You see...my final test...was to defeat you in a buddyfight. To be honest, this was my last buddyfight ever." Angelique said. "As a member of the church, I am not allowed to stay longer than a year on a world. So...my time to move on has come. I'll be leaving after this fight is finished and I'll not be coming back to this world." She said.
"Well, you can be proud that your last victory was against me." David said.
"Yeah….now it's about time I took victory too! Draw! Charge and draw! My Pardon's ability activates and I regain life." Guru said.
8-9
"Now...I'll call Tanuki back to the center! Then I equip Impartial Cane, Fabulous Rod and give Tanuki the power to double attack.' Guru said. "Now Justlaw attacks!"
4-3
"Monochrome attacks too!" Guru said.
3-1
"Tanuki...attack too!" Guru said.
9-10
"I cast! Green Dragon Shield!" Gao said.
1-2
"Don't forget Sonny, Tanuki has double attack thanks to m'item!" Guru said.
10-11
"This will decide it, Poko!" Tanuki said going for a dive kick.
"Cast! Blue Dragon Shield!" Gao said blocking.
"Not bad thaer. But… this is as far as this her match goes! Final Phase! I cast the Impact known as "Guardians? Executioners? Or Worse?!"!" He said as an image of him appeared behind him holding a fan, half of him dressed like an executioner and half as a guardian. "With this...I can give one monster the ability to cause effect damage equal to its critical. And the one I pick...is Giant Tanuki!"
"Ah!" Gao said as Tanuki stomped him.
1-0
Game over! Winner: Guru Bunbuku!
"Wow…" Hope said.
"Told ya. The old man's got skills." Paimon grinned. "You guys could fight him for a million years and still couldn't beat him."
"It's like I told ya back on that ship of yours." Guru said. "Way all of ya are now, there's no way y'can help your friend find the descendants of the Ten Kingdoms. Same goes for sun boy. He can't use the X-Tempest Buster way he is."
"Then there's only one thing to do…" Hope said. "I know Gao's going to ask for you to train him, but… please, allow us to participate in your training as well!"
"I'll pass…" Ace said.
"This guy does not speak for all of us." Dan said.
"Sorry guys." Hope said.
"Well...guess this is goodbye." Angelique said before taking her deck and placing it on the ground. "It's time I headed out."
"Where will you go now, M'lady?" Spade asked.
"The Adventure Universe. I'm going to research a story I found in the Library back in my church." Angelique said.
"What's it called?" Mari asked.
"The Tale of the Flamebearer. It's a story of a legendary pilgrimage spreading faith across the land." Angelique said. "Most of the story has been lost to the ages of time...but hopefully...maybe I can return it to proper shape."
"Well, if you ever need our help, please let us know." Simon said.
"Of course. Especially if it's from you, child of the Umbra Witches." Angelique grinned. "In fact...in order to help save your soul." she said picking up the deck. "I want you to have this."
"Whoa, are you sure?" Simon asked.
"Simon's an Umbra Witch. Won't giving him your divine guardians deck seem kinda… off base?" Hope said.
"Just because I'm an enhanced with Bayonetta's abilities doesn't mean I'm an actual witch, I'm still a Nephilim." Simon said.
"Then this deck belongs to you." Angelique said. "Use it wisely, and let the Guardians guide your soul." She said before raising her wings as she took off into the sky.
"Thank you, Angelique!" Simon called out as he waved up to her.
"See you around...Angelique." David said.
"Heh, what a girl." Paimon said.
"So I guess that means you're still stuck with the Guru, huh Paimon?" Hope said.
"It's not all bad. Least with her gone I have a better chance at graduating." Paimon said.
"Oh? Why did you want the Guru to teach you?" Chibi Panda asked.
"None of your damn business you little throw rug." Paimon said.
"I'm a Saint Holy Sword Dragon!" Chibi panda said.
"Then maybe I'll make a couple of boots outta your scales." Paimon said.
"Ah!" He said running.
"Now...as for all of you...you could benefit with some vacation time. A little camping trip." Paimon said.
"Camping?" Hope asked.
"Actually, after all that craziness… That sounds like a good idea." David said.
"Yeah, I could go for some outdoors." Hope said. "You in, Ace?"
"I'm fine. I'm just gonna go for a walk and head back to the ship." Ace said as he walked away.
"Speaking of unusual behaviors, I'm surprised you went with her suggestion." Sectonia said.
"I'm a demon hunter, but the kills I make are rarely personal. They're just part of the job." David said.
"Well...one drop out isn't that bad. This'll be fun." Paimon said.
"Indeedy. You go an' have fun too, Paimon." Guru said. "Sides, I need ta help out these fellas train anyway."
"And it seems like Ace will be training as well…" Spade said.
"Ah, that's okay. He'll be fine. I'm sure he's got his reasons for not coming camping with us." Hope said.
"I hope so too." Guy said.
"Okay then, while Gao and his friends are training, let's go camping!" Gemini said.
"YEAH!" Everyone called out in delight.
