AC: Hello everyone and welcome to the second part of the first episode.
I will be honest and admit that my main weakness will be writing a real buddyfight card. So far, it won't be difficult since it is based on the show, but later on, if my story required it, I will ask for help to do those fights with someone else to make them entertaining, when they are not skippable as they are important.
Since it is a retake, there will be difference that might grow bigger as the plot progress.
The chapter could have been ready for Thursday, but I had some struggle with what happened after the end of the Buddy fight and decided to skip a few things I planned, which would have been boring anyway and put what was necessary, but I feel like it was weak, but less than the actual show I hope.
Episode 1 part 2: The Most Powerful Demon Lord Dragon! His Name is Batzz!
Gao watched the Demon Lord Dragon as he whispered, "So this is the Demon Lord Dragon."
The dragon was looking back at Gao with distain and how little the boy was for him.
Holy panicked as started crying, "This is the end of Dragon World!"
"Are the one who freed me kid?" the dragon asked Gao while keeping in sight Chaos Yamigedo as the demon could do anything.
He frowned at the dragon as he replied, "My name is not Kid. I am Gao Mikado, the Mighty Sun Fighter!"
The Demon Lord Dragon found the reply and title ridiculous, "A fighter? A little brat like you?"
Gao felt some anger in him, but contained it inside, given their situation, "Yes!"
The dragon showed his fist, inside the glove and presented himself, "I'm Barlbattz Dragoroyale the First."
Chaos Yamigedo grunted loudly as his buddy walked toward them.
"Gao!" Baku said.
He turned around and was ready for anything.
The boy stopped when he was closed. He laughed before saying, "I've come for you Demon Lord Dragon."
The Demon Lord Dragon let out a low grunt, hating the boy already for speaking lowly of himself. Instead of attacking, he aggressively asked, "Who are you and what do you want with me?"
"You're going to come along with me," he replied to the dragon as the reasons were left unknown.
"That's not going to happen," the Demon Lord Dragon said as his hatred for the boy increased as he dear spoke of himself as if he was nothing, "I'm the most powerful dragon in the world. I don't take order from anybody!"
The boy grabbed his deck case and replied, "Then... I'll take you by force then."
They frowned as they watched the boy getting ready for his deck case.
The Demon Lord Dragon laughed loudly, "That's a good one. Gather, My Thunder Empire!"
Cards came out from the place the dragon was sealed away and they cumulated on the ground.
"Cards?" Gao said surprised that they were more in there.
Baku immediately said, "Show me!"
"And me too!" Kuguru said. They observed the cards, "I've never seen any of these cards before."
"And they are amazing. They are all very strong card," Baku added. He opened his back and took out Buddyfight Cards in his bag and said, "Time to build a new deck!"
He quickly made a deck for the battle and made sure that Gao could use them to their best.
"You've finished," Kuguru said.
Baku gave the deck in Gao's hand, "Yeah. Now's it's your job to make good use of it, Gao."
"Thank you Baku. Let's do this! Barlbattz Dragoroyale... Or rather, Demon Lord Dragon Batzz!" Gao said as he turned toward their adversary.
The dragon frowned when he heard that nickname and hated it.
The boy took off his hood and said, "Once I'll win, I'll take you with me Barlbattz and I'll kill them."
"I am not an object of possession little one!" Batzz yelled.
Gao replied, "What you said is useless. I'm going to win this match!" He turned his deck case into a belt, "Rise up! Almighty dragon! Luminize! Demon Lord Dragon Tempest!"
"The mechanical evil deity appears! Luminize! Great Fiend of Chaos!"
Their surrounding turned into a field made for a Buddyfight match, to the surprised of everyone.
"Raise the flag!" the two players said.
"Dragon World!" Gao said.
"Katana World!" the other boy said.
Gao and his friend were taken by surprise when they heard the world Chaos Yamigedo came from. They weren't expecting the demon to be linked with that world. Gao thought, That's surely not the Yamigedo we know. Did something happen to Bolt? Anyway, I have to focus on the match. I can't lose, "I have the first move. Draw! Charge and Draw!" he grabbed a card, "I equip, Arc Dragon Sword!" He had a black sword with a golden handle. He took charge and slashed, taking two life points of his opponent.
The boy's life dropped to eight.
Batzz grabbed his chin and made no comment, he was a little surprised that Gao took the offensive without summoning one of his minions in the field.
The boy grinned and said, "My turn. Draw! Charge and draw! I call to the center, Blood Knife, Kimensai! To the left and right, I call Rampage Chizomegumo!" he continued, "The evil deity who devour the stars! Chaos Yamigedo! Buddy call to the center!"
Chaos Yamigedo jumped at the center and devour Kimensai.
"He looks strong!" Holy said nervously.
"Due to the buddy call. I gain one life point," the boy said. He pointed his hand at the Gao, "Both Chizomegumo! Attack the fighter!"
They attacked Gao and his life points dropped to six.
Noboru saw how fast the life point dropped and wondered why he didn't use his shield card as always, "Doesn't he have any defense spell?"
Batzz looked at the deck case and saw two spellcards that where shield, "Aren't you going to use those?"
Gao replied, "No. This way, I can bring out your full power," letting out that he planned to end this match in the next turn.
"But kid, you'll take some lethal damage before you get a chance to do that," the gray dragon replied.
"I don't mind," he replied to his buddy. He turned toward Batzz and continued, "I've come out of many situations worse than that in my matches and came out victorious. I will win to protect my friends no matter what."
The dragon looked at the boy and realised that the boy had a clear plan in his mind and the experience to back it up, "You're an odd one," he grinned and said, as if he gave permission, "Do as you like."
"It sure is fun to beat someone who can't do a thing," the boy laughed as he looked down at Gao. "Get him Chaos Yamigedo!"
Gao was hit by a double attack.
"He got two life left. He's got nowhere to go," Noboru nervously said.
The panda dragon watched this as his body trembled, "Are you telling me that the Dragon World representative is going to lose? When the World Buddy Master hasn't even started yet."
Kuguru said with confidence, "Don't worry. This is Gao we are talking about."
"Yeah," Baku replied with a smile. He was the one who made the deck and knew the potential it possessed even if it was with cards he never saw before.
Turn 1 end.
(Gao: Life: 2 Gauge: 3 Hand: 5)
(The boy: Life: 9 Gauge: 3 Hand: 3)
"Here I go. It's my turn. Draw! Charge and... Draw!" Gao said. He looked at the card he had and gasped when he saw the card he picked.
Batzz explained, "If you use that, you can win. But kid, you might not survive."
Gao was nervous when he heard it as sweat came out of his forehead, "I might die? Me?"
His friends were nervous when they heard that.
"It's not my business what's going to happen to you kid. I'll defeat them on my own, with my power! I'll crave my strength into their heart!" Batzz replied with passion.
Gao thought about what he should say, but he knew what he had to do. He lightly grinned as he buried his fear inside of him, "If it's to protect my friend, I have to take the risk. I will not lose against them Batzz. Baku made this deck, and I have faith in it... and you," that took the dragon by surprised, but Gao freed him because he had no choice, but put his faith in Batzz, "That's why I'm going to win this buddyfight, no matter what!" he picked a card and started playing his turn, "I call Raid Officer, Delta to the left."
The dragon appeared and said, "It is a great honor to serve under the general Barlbattz Dragoroyale The First."
"I buddy call Demon Lord Dragon, Batzz to the right!" Gao said. As Batzz jumped on the field, the boy gain one life thanks to the buddy gift, "When I have four life or less... Batzz get another 3000 power! For a total of 10 000!" Gao grinned, "And gets triple attack."
Noboru smiled, "So this was Gao plan. So that's why he didn't use a defensive spell."
"Triple attack?" Gao's adversary said. He grinned, "It's no use. That will have no effect on us."
"Go Delta! Attack Chaos Yamigedo!" Gao ordered.
Delta replied, "Roger. Take this. Impact Delta Slash!"
The boy said before Delta hit Chaos Yamigedo, "I cast! Demon Way, Noroihikagami!"
Delta hit a mirror of himself and was destroyed.
Gao didn't show any sign of nervousness as he readied his sword, "I'm counting on you Batzz. Attack Chaos Yamigedo!"
"Don't order me around!" Batzz yelled, furious that Gao dare order him. Despite that he charged at Chaos Yamigedo and gave a violent punch with his gauntlet. As the demon was sent away, but Batzz grabbed one of the centipede tails and threw the demon on the ground. He finished it by crushing the head.
The boy put back his hood and chuckled, "Revive with Soulguard! And counterattack!"
Chaos Yamigedo reappeared and attacked Batzz, but the dragon blocked the attack and lifted the demon as electricity charged on his body.
"What?"
Gao smiled as he explained, "During my turn, Batzz can't be destroyed!"
Batzz finished Chaos Yamigedo after saying, "You thought a weakling like you could defeat me?"
Holy was impressed by the power of the Demon Lord Dragon and caught in the excitement of the match said, "Amazing! He's just too amazing!"
Batzz readied his gauntlet once again and attacked the player, "You're next!" he hit the boy and took two life, dropping it to seven.
"And I'll follow suit," Gao charged at his opponent and attacked, taking two more life and dropping it to five.
"During my next turn, you're going to face defeat. And death before it will be the turn of your friends! There are no other options!" the boy threatened Gao.
Gao returned to his spot and put the sword on the ground, "My turn isn't over yet!" he picked the card and took the risk for his friends. The moment he started using the card, he felt his body getting heavier, "Final Phase!"
Batzz turned toward Gao, "The moment you use that card, kid. My power will flow into you. Whether or not you can use it properly depends on you kid," he jumped in the air as he released his dark energy. A black tornado surrounded him, "If you can't withstand my power... you die!"
Gao knew the risk, but wondered why Batzz warned of the price of using his power instead of saying nothing. Even so, he showed his confidence on withstanding the dragon power, "Sounds good to me," he raised his hand and touched what looked like a trident, "I'll show you what I can do!" the boy painfully grunted as he felt he power entering in him.
He painfully screamed as the dark energy entered in his body as his skin and clothing turned completely black.
His friends were even more nervous of Gao's well-being.
"What's going on? What's happening to him?" Kuguru asked as she felt her forehead sweating.
Holy explained fearfully, "He's being engulfed by the Demon Lord Dragon power!"
Baku saw that Gao wasn't moving anymore, "Gao!" He got no answer.
Noboru said, "Don't tell me he's dead..."
Holy admitted, "It's a strong possibility."
Gao started moving, "I'm going to win," half of his body returned to its original color as one of his eye looked like the dragon eye of Batzz. His right hand held the gauntlet that his buddy used, but the eyes were red instead. Inside, the gauntlet, the trident came out and was ready to use. Gao jumped in the air and yelled, "I cast!" He ran on it and grabbed at the base of the sharp part, "Impact!" he threw it toward the other player, "Thunder Lance! X Tempest!" It hit the boy, Gao came down and continued his attack and punched the handle of the trident, "Buster!"
He took the remaining point of the other player and the flag of Katana world disappeared. The boy grunted and immediately ran away through a portal.
The effect of the card dissipated and Gao felt pain on his right arm.
"Gao!" Baku said before his friends joined him.
"Hang on!" Kuguru said.
They checked their friend and didn't see any wound.
"Are you okay?" Noboru asked, worried for his friend when he saw Gao grabbing his arm.
"Yeah..." Gao replied before hiding his pain, "No need to worry."
Holy said, "So glad you didn't die."
Noboru told him, "That was really dangerous Gao. You could have died and you didn't hesitate one second."
Gao turned toward him and replied, "But I didn't and you are all safe," he gave a thumb up.
Noboru grabbed his forehead and replied, "This time," his eyes turned toward Batzz who reappeared near them, "And freeing a dangerous monster was a bad idea."
They turned toward Batzz who was looking at them and whispered, "He's a fortunate fellow," the dragon was about to walk away.
"Wait!" Gao ordered.
"Don't order me around kid!" Batzz grunted at the boy.
"You cannot let him go free or he'll destroy Dragon World," Holy said.
"The seal has been broken, there is nothing you can do. Consider yourself lucky that fighting that thing made me merciful," the dragon said.
"Holy. Can you redo the seal?" Gao whispered.
"Yes, you still have the card right?" the panda dragon asked.
Gao showed it, but Batzz saw this. He lightly grinned as he decided to play it smart if he wanted to remain free, "You think sealing me here will really do well?"
Holy started the spell and the card was slowly getting ready for its usage.
"What are you talking about?" Kuguru asked.
"You think that kid won't return to get me? He'll know that I'll be seal here once again and all you would do will be meaningless," Batzz replied.
The humans frowned as, despite the fact that he managed to greatly damage Dragon World and could destroy it, there was a lot of true in his words.
"The best option is to let me free and wander around. I'm sure you kids get that," the large dragon said as he turned around.
"You won't go anywhere Batzz!" Gao yelled.
"I told you again to now order me around kid... You better learn to shut up!" he replied as he glared at Gao.
"Letting you free will destroy Dragon World! And what would it be next? Another world? It will be like Yamigedo who devoured many worlds and didn't stop until he was sealed! And when he was freed... Killed!" Gao replied back.
The gray dragon stomped the ground and made them felt on the ground, "Then let me tell you that I'm not interested in destroying Dragon World," he said with malice.
Gao didn't fell malevolence coming from the dragon, but he wouldn't take a risk like that.
"The seal is ready," Holy said.
Batzz prepared his gauntlet, "I won't hesitate to use it against a kid who thinks that he is more than that."
Gao took a deep breath and his hair grew longer.
"Gao," Baku whispered.
"He's using the Future Force," Noboru realised.
Gao drew a card and turned it into the sword he used during his match, except this time, the power was real. Batzz also noticed the difference and grinned, "So you really want to try it?"
Gao grabbed the seal card and was ready to use it too, "I'm ready to succeed."
The gray dragon instinct was telling him that he didn't really stand a chance in a direct confrontation with the boy holding the spellcard and he knew that Fang Slade Terrestrial the XIII was surely coming soon. He forced his anger to remain in him and decided to be smart about it. So he had to let some concession, no matter how much it sickened him to partially admit defeat. He grunted before grinning, "Sealing me again won't help the world and you are refusing to let me be free. Maybe we could try a..." he felt sicker inside as he was saying those words, "...compromise."
"Compromise?" they all said at the same time.
"Yes," Batzz replied, not wanting to say the word again. He put down his weapon, knowing he had to haste things up before his nemesis came, "There must be a way to both be satisfied."
"We cannot listen to him Gao! It's obvious that he isn't meaning any of this," Noboru yelled.
"Of course I am meaning this kid! I am not a dragon who just spit some words without meaning in it! I am Barlbattz Dragoroyale the First and I would only soil my name!"
"What is it?" Gao asked, ready to seal Batzz once again if the gray dragon tried anything.
"You don't want to let me free and you know that sealing me is not a good idea. You've only delayed the inevitable," the dragon crossed his arms.
"The security just had to be increased," Baku replied.
"Will that stop them?" Batzz asked, playing on the possibility of the boy who attacked them to come back stronger.
None of the humans could reply as it could be possible.
"So the best way to prevent him from destroying dragon world or someone else is to put him on watch," Holy understood as he whispered what Batzz was implying while at the same time disliking the idea.
"And seal him if he tries anything to escape, he can be sealed inside the card right?" Baku asked Holy.
"Yes," he replied.
"That's the compromise?" Kuguru asked.
Batzz lightly grunted as the compromised he wanted to try wasn't that at all as it didn't give him any advantage, but he couldn't back it off or be sealed. He knew that if he tried to attack them, it won't work with Gao watching him and ready to imprison him at any time, "Yes."
No one was sure how to handle it and everyone remained still as they thought of the consequences.
Eventually Gao spoke, "He's right," his friends turned toward him and before they could protest, he continued, "That guy is surely not alone and it's dangerous to let them have Batzz."
"You don't seriously mean that you want him as your buddy?" Noboru asked.
Batzz said nothing, but internally grinned as he had a victory in his current predicament. It was the first phase, but it was better than imprisoned forever as it was supposed to be.
"We have no choice Noboru. I'm the one who freed him after all and Holy said we were buddies now," Gao replied. He didn't speak about the lack of malevolence coming from Batzz. He looked at the dragon and stopped calling the power of the Future Force as his hair returned to its original size, "But I'll be watching you."
Holy gulped when everything was said and Gao's friend weren't agreeing with him, but at the same time, knew that Gao made up his mind and in a way, knew it was the less bad thing to do.
Elsewhere, inside a building, the boy who attacked Gao and his friends to capture Batzz was giving his report to someone else while his buddy remained behind him.
That person asked, "The Demon Lord Dragon has a buddy now?"
"Yes sir. I failed to capture him because of this... um."
His superior interrupted him, "Don't make excuse without my permission."
"Terribly sorry sir."
"In other words, he was too weak. That's all."
"Hum?"
His superior snapped his fingers and Chaos Yamigedo was eliminated, "He is only a copy of the real Yamigedo."
"Master Wisdom sir!" the boy said less calm.
"He is a copy; his life held little meaning anyway and won't help our goal. We have to reach complete peace. We will upgrade this very world," Wisdom lightly grinned.
Elsewhere on Earth, the sun was gone and the darkness claimed over the city. Gao was in front of his house with Holy and his new buddy Batzz, who was really quiet since the moment he was in his SD form, for the first time of his entire existence.
Many things had been said between them and Batzz and everything that would happen now. Batzz hadn't been cooperative, but the prospect of being sealed away forced him to accept the current situation.
Gao walked in front of the house and took a deep breath as he prepared to open the door. He knew that he didn't want to tell his family about the reason Batzz became his buddy, so when he grabbed the door, he smiled as if he was really happy, as he imaged he would be with having a buddy after so long.
"I'm home! Mom! Dad! Grandma! Hana!" his family came as they heard him calling them, "I have a buddy!"
Batzz entered in the house in his SD form, still thoughtful about his new appearance. He was a little chubby dragon, even if he didn't look that much like one with the more round and less draconic form for his face. He had a brown cross on his face and on his belly compared to his gray scale, his pair of black horns was still there, but his hair was gone. As for his armor and weapon, those had been sealed away and only his crimson cape was still on his back.
Gao continued, "Check out! This is him... Demon Lord Dragon Batzz!" he put a hand on his buddy shoulder while Holy came from behind the boy, watching Gao's family.
It was then that Batzz finally snapped out of it when he saw a glimpse of his appearance after looking at his ridiculously little hands, "I've been deformed... into a size like this?" he asked with disgust and anger.
Gao nervously chuckled as his parents were looking at him when Batzz complicated everything he planned into something that looked like a pact made with the gray dragon.
Batzz never felt so humiliated in his existence and what he looked like now made him think as if he was just a joke. In his rage, he abandoned everything he planned and what anyone told him to do as his pride couldn't take it, "I won't accept it!" he yelled as electricity came out of him and let out a discharged, "You've got to be kidding me!"
AC: This is the end of this chapter. I did give a little explanation to why Batzz didn't have a weapon compare to Drum drill and Bal belly with the rectangle turning into things he wanted.
Next episode: Batzz Goes to Earth! Major Panic In Cho-Tokyo part 1.
This is going to be closer to the actual episode with only a few things added and modified with Gao having to explain everything with Batzz current outburst.
