Chapter 3: No-Damage Fighter, Kanata
"Hi there! My name is Chibi Panda! My pal, Demon Lord Dragon, Batzz had a epic Buddyfight with the Awakened Black Death Dragon, Abygale. Abygale's Buddy is Gao's rival, Gaito Kurozu. It came down to the wild, but Big Boss and Gao won! Way a go, you two! If they keep this up, they will win the World Buddy Masters Tournament and become ultimate champions of all the parallel worlds!"
At the Buddy Police HQ. Daisuke was at the screen, looking up Kanata on the screen.
"Man, that Kanata Oozora really had some awesome skills. I bet even I couldn't give him a dent." Daisuke said.
"Well, that is what his title is after all. But unlike us, he doesn't carry Dragonarms or Photonic Gears." Ryuuga said, "Do you think you can convince him though?"
"Who knows? Maybe we'll see once he'll give it a try. Come on, Tasuku's waiting for us." Daisuke said as he walks out.
"Alright!" Ryuuga follows.
At the Aibo Academy, the guys are playing soccer on the field.
"Here, Kanata!" The player passes the ball to Kanata as Kanata use his leg to catch it.
"Nice pass!" Kanata complimented.
"Get ready!" Noboru said as they got their defensive position.
"Okay!" Baku said as Kanata dashes while kicking the ball. Noboru tries to steal it but Kanata evaded.
"Darn!"
"He's fast!" Baku said as he tries to slide to steal but Kanata jumps. Then Kanata runs towards the goal as he strikes a kick as it hits the net. The whistle blew twice as the game is over. The team cheered for Kanata.
"Nice shot! Practice is paying off!" Athora said happily.
"Thanks, Athora! Sure is!" Kanata said.
"Let's switch Goalkeepers!" Gao recommended as he switched places with the goalkeeper.
"Huh?" Kanata was confused.
"It's time for the Mighty Sun Fighter to take over!" Gao said as he became the goalkeeper as he was prepared, "Now, let's see...What cha got?!"
Kanata then smiled with a serious look on his face, "The Mighty Sun Fighter, huh?" He asked himself. Then as the two players were about to steal the ball, Kanata kicks the ball up as it was heading towards Gao. Kanata runs as Gao abandons his post to stop the ball. But then Kanata jumped as he used a cycle kick to shoot the ball. But the ball hits, everyone was amazed as the ball actually hit Gao's face. The force pushed towards the side of the goal as he got hit on the head, but luckily, Gao managed to save the ball.
"That's what I call 'using my head'!" Gao said. Kanata was amazed.
"There he is. Right there, Tasuku." Daisuke said as he pointed out with Tasuku with him.
"Yes. That's Kanata Oozora. Aibo Academy Elementary Sixth Grade, Class 7." Tasuku said as he got the information on the tablet.
"Hm. Best grades in the class and top athlete. A true genius..." Jack said.
"He does." Ryuuga said.
"Yeah. And that's not all. He's a Star Dragon World user. He has so much skill and potential as a Buddyfighter. That they call him, 'The No-Damage Fighter'." Tasuku explained as Daisuke whistled.
"He really does have some mad skills. You really think he'll be the one we need?" Daisuke asked.
"There's nobody more qualified than him." Tasuku said as Daisuke looks at Kanata.
'Hmm. No-Damage Fighter, huh? Well we'll see about that.'
The next day, at the Mikado Residence...
"See ya, guys! I gotta get to school so I'm not late again!" Gao said as Batzz was still asleep on Gao's bed, "Uh, let me know Batzz's gets into trouble. Chibi Panda, I'm trusting you to take care of him, okay?" He requested.
"Don't worry about a thing. I'll watch him like a mama dragon's honor clutch it is!" Chibi Panda said with confidence as Gao got a concerned look on his face.
"O... k..."
At the escalator, Gao walks up as he was heading to school.
"Gao! How's it going?" Kanata asked as he saw Gao.
"Huh?" Gao turned to see Kanata and Athora.
"Hey, Kanata! What's up? You know it's weird, we're in the same school but we don't really know each other." Gao said.
"Maybe we should change that. So what do you like to do?" Kanata asked.
"You know. Kanata's been asking all about you. Ever since you were able to block that shot the other day." Athora recalled.
"Don't embarrass me! I was just telling people what an excellent save he made." Kanata said as the time recalled when Gao got hit by the ball.
"Thanks, but it was all I can do to stop your shot." Gao said, " I mean, you're an awesome player, Kanata!" He complimented.
"He's not just great at soccer. Kanata's also the top student in Grad Sixth." Athora said as they got on the escalator.
"Come on, keep it down, will ya?"
"Seriously? That's actually pretty cool, man!" Gao complimented, "Hang on... If you have a Buddy, you must be a Buddyfighter, right?" He asked as he realized.
"Hey, Oozora." They heard a voice as it was Gaito with Minako as they were on top of escalator, "There's a rumor going around about you."
"What is it?" Gao asked.
"It looks like that-" Minako was about to explained but Gaito stopped her.
"Don't interrupt me. They call you the 'No-Damage Fighter'."
"No-Damage Fighter? Really?" Gao asked.
"That's what we heard." Minako said.
"And it means that he's never lost a single live point. Not once in all the games of Buddyfights he's played." Abygale said.
"Impossible. It can't be done." Gao said as he refused to believe it.
"Actually, it's true, Gao. But I don't really play it anymore." Kanata said as the bell rung.
"Kanata, you're going to be late." Athora said.
"Oh, we should get to class. We'll have to discuss this another time." Kanata said as he goes ahead.
"Wait, I wasn't finished." Gaito said.
"Come on, Gaito. We can't be late. Let's go." Minako said as she takes Gaito's arm and drags him to class.
"Hey, let go! I'm not done yet!"
"Man, he's not just good at soccer and school, but he's amazing at Buddyfight too?" Gao said as he was surprised.
Back at the Mikado Residence...
"Mm! These octopus dumplings are delicious!" Chibi Panda said as he was at the dojo, eating a plate full of octopus dumplings, "There's nothing like this in Dragon World." Meanwhile, Batzz was laying on the floor, eating snacks and pizza, while making a mess.
"Ugh. I'm so bored. Ever since I arrived on this planet, I've done nothing but sitting around." Batzz said.
"Oh hey! I have a great idea! How about I take you out and show you the sights?" Chibi Panda recommended.
"Hm?" Batzz was curious, "Sounds better than being stuck in this domestic prison."
At Aibo Academy..
"First stop... Is Aibo Academy!" Chibi Panda said as they arrived on their first destination.
"This is the kid's school, isn't it?" Batzz asked as he gets angry, "Why'd you bring me here for? I'll looking for excitement!" Chibi Panda then got nervous.
"Oh, I better think of something else to go and fast." He whispers to himself as he trembles, "Big Boss isn't pleased. I offered to show him around but this school is the only place that I know!" He turned to explained but noticed that Batzz disappeared, "Oooooh! Oh no! He's gone!" He saw Batzz as he was on the escalator, "Hey, Batzz! Where are you going?!" Then Batzz entered into Aibo Academy as he looked around.
"Ugh. There must be something fun to do here." He asked himself as he looked at the school, "This could work." He thought of an idea.
At the hallway, near the classroom. Gao asked his friends about Kanata.
"A 'No-Damage Fighter'? For real" Noboru asked sarcastically.
"Well actually, me and Haruka heard those rumors a while ago." Kuguru said.
"Yeah! I heard it from my classmates!" Haruka said.
"Me too, bro. But I don't think Kanata's really into Buddyfighting anymore." Baku said.
"Huh?" Noboru was confused.
"What do you mean, Baku?" Haruka asked.
"Well, you see. He was so choice that nobody wanted to fight with him anymore cause he always win. And without anyone to play against, he totally lost interest." He explained.
"So he's really that good?" Gao asked.
"Yeah, he's a prodigy-type fighter. And he's a Star Dragon World user." Baku said as it surprised them.
"Like my brother?" Haruka asked.
"Yeah." Baku nodded.
"Same world as Tasuku and Daisuke..." Gao whispered. Then a scream yelled as Chibi Panda came.
"It's terrible, you must help me!"
"Is that Chibi Panda?" Haruka asked.
"Hey, where's the fire, Panda?" Noboru asked as a joke.
"I'm not a Panda! I'm Saint Holy Sword Dragon! and you better not forget it, Kitten Shirt!" He insulted.
"It's not a kitten, it's a tiger!" Noboru yelled angrily.
"What's wrong, Chibi and where's Batzz?" Gao asked.
"That's it! I lost him!" He said as they heard screams coming from outside the field.
Outisde, Batzz then revealed himself as he transforms to his true form, he laughed evilly. He walks as many students were scared and ran. Batzz laughed mischievously.
"Fear the Batzz." He said.
At the hallway, many students were panicking and running away.
"You help everyone get safety. I'll try to control Batzz." Gao advised a plan.
"How are you going to do that?" Noboru asked.
"Are you going to be okay, Gao?" Haruka asked.
"Don't worry." He gave a thumb up, "I've got this."
Outside, the teachers carries tool as they thought they need to stop Batzz.
"Just stand your ground, gentlemen. We must protect the school!" Nitsuke said as they got shocked by Batzz's lightning.
"You insects!" He yelled as he laughed.
"Hey, dragon!" Batzz heard a voice, "Down here!" He looked down as he sees Kanata.
"Hm?"
"Why are you here bothering everyone? Would you just please go away?!" Kanata requested. But then Batzz started to get angry.
"Grr! Call me a bother?! Do you have any idea who I am?!" Batzz shoots his lightning but Kanata evaded. Batzz kept attacking but Kanata kept on avoiding. But then a card got out as Athora transforms to his true form.
"An attack on Kanata is an attack on me!" Athora said as he flies up and dives down to attack Batzz.
"You're too pretty to be a dragon!" Batzz said as he used his gauntlet, releasing dark energy blast, as it hits Athora but Athora used a barrier to protect himself from the attack. It reflected the attack as it hits Batzz instead.
"Halt!" Someone yelled.
"That's enough!" Batzz heard two people yelled as the badges revealed themselves.
"We're the Buddy Police!" It was Jack who yelled as he was with his partner, Tasuku. Along the way, Daisuke came by with Ryuusei.
"You have trespassing on school property!" Daisuke yelled.
"If you continue with your rampage then we'll have to arrest you!" Tasuku said.
"So what's it going to be?" Daisuke asked.
"Like I ever decide on that! But I like to see you try!" Batzz said.
"Over here!" Minako said as she waved to get Gao's attention.
"Through here, Gao!" Gaito said as they were near the chute.
"Thanks!" Gao said as he went down the chute. Then Gaito follows along.
"H-Hey! Wait for me!" Minako said as she joins them.
"What are we going to do, Jack?" Ryuusei asked.
"We have no choice. We'll have to use force!" Jack said as Gao made it out.
"Hold on!" Gao came out.
"Gao?" Daisuke asked.
"What is it?" Tasuku asked.
"Stop it, Batzz!" Gao yelled as he held out the Buddy Card to transform to him back. He reverted back as he fell to the ground, "Behave yourself! Or I'll turn you to a card and keep you in my deck!" He issued a warning as it got Batzz growled in frustration.
Later, at the soccer field, Kanata is bouncing the ball on his head.
"We heard Batzz is a terrifying Demon Lord Dragon. Who tried to destroyed Dragon World." Jack said as he and Ryuuga turned to their small forms.
"Yeah, and that was the only time when my ancestors, the Dragonic Clan joined forces to stop Batzz once." Ryuuga said.
"But it sure wouldn't be easy being his Buddy."
"That's true. But you can handle it, right, Gao?" Tasuku asked.
"Of course, he will. Gao can handles things easily. Right?" Daisuke asked.
"Yeah, he dealt worse than this."
"You can say that again. Though..." Gao said as he looked at Daisuke.
"Hm, something wrong?" Daisuke asked.
"Man, I wish you would've just come back as our teacher again! Things aren't the same without you around!" Gao cried with a sad look on his face. Daisuke chuckled nervously.
"Gao, you know that my real purpose is returning back to the Buddy Police. And ever since I became Tasuku's partner, everyone started to trust me again. I appreciate you wanted me back, Gao. But this is what I was meant to be."
"Awww man." Gao said disappointingly. Meanwhile, Batzz and Chibi Panda were on the bench, watching them.
"Are those brats more of the kid's friends?" Batzz asked.
"What?! You really don't know that's super famous fighter and his most trustworthy partner?!" Chibi Panda asked so surprisingly as he monologue.
"I thought everybody knew about the Buddy Police Super Cop, Tasuku Ryuenji and his Buddy, Jack! Tasuku was also one of Gao's main rivals and he's a genius Buddyfighter! And Jack has evolved to become Star Dragoner, Jackknife! So he can wield the power of stars! And alongside him is Tasuku's partner, Daisuke Masamune. He's one of the elite Buddyfighters who used a criminal fighter calling himself, Masked Dragon. But afterwards he redeemed himself as he returned to the Buddy Police. He's also one of Gao's main rivals. He used to be a teacher but now retired. He has a Buddy named Dragonic Fighter, Ryuuga but now evolved to become Photonic Fighter, Ryuusei! Who uses the power of the cosmic energies!"
"They're so amazing! I'm sure that either of them will be representing Star Dragon World in the Buddy Masters!" Chibi Panda said.
"Hold on. Dragonic? I never heard of that before." Batzz wondered.
"Oh yeah. You didn't know cause you were sealed. Well, you see." Chibi Panda looked at Ryuuga, "There was secret clan called the Dragonic Clan. They are known to a group strong fighters who fought for anything necessary. After awhile, they formed an alliance with other members of Dragon World and now they're known for everyone."
"If that's true then is that little dragon there, the leader?" Batzz asked.
"No, apparently since he became a monster for Star Dragon World. He lets someone else takes his place."
"Really, who?"
"Someone named Daigo. He's Ryuuga's apprentice."
"I don't know who this Daigo is. But he sounds like something I wanna beat up."
"What?!" Gao asked so surprisingly as it surprised them, "You two are gotta be in the Buddy Masters!" He got disappointed, "I was looking forward to fighting either of you guys!"
"Sorry, but I'm afraid we got our hands full." Daisuke said.
"Daisuke's right. We're so busy with the Buddy Police, we just can't fit it in." Tasuku said. Daisuke then sighed.
"Man, I wanted to battle Gao. But I can't pull my duties aside for this."
"Are you two sure?! Is there anything you two can do?" Gao asked for consideration.
"Why don't you two just quit the Buddy Police?" Gaito recommended.
"Ah, that's a brilliant idea!" Abygale agreed.
"Yeah, good thinking." Minako agreed.
"Seriously? That's the best idea?" Daisuke asked.
"Relax. But no, we couldn't do that. And besides, Daisuke has managed to regained everyone's trust back. He really wants to come back after all." Tasuku said.
"Yeah, thanks." Daisuke said.
"Besides, it's already been decided." Jack said, "Come on, cut them some slack, would you?"
"I'd be so bummed." Gao said.
"It's okay. We'll settle our score next match." Daisuke said as he puts his hands on Gao's shoulder.
"You promise?" He asked.
"Yeah." He nodded.
"But if you won't be competing and Daisuke won't be competing either then who's going to be the Star Dragon Representative?" Abygale asked.
"Yeah, it's not like there's someone here who can willingly take your place." Minako said.
"Actually, I think there is." Daisuke said.
"Really, who?" Gao asked as Tasuku and Daisuke looked behind Gao as Gao turned and looked at Kanata, who is still playing soccer. Kanata noticed that Tasuku and Daisuke were looking at him.
"Uh..." Kanata was getting confused of what's going on.
"It seems as though, Tasuku and Daisuke are looking at you." Athora assumed.
"No. Not me." Kanata said as he felt a little embarrassed.
"Seriously, him?" Minako asked.
"It can't be that guy." Abygale said.
"Yeah, he's a real doofus." Gaito said.
"Kanata, we like to see the size of your ability to see if you have what it takes." Tasuku said, "Would you accept the Buddyfight challenge against my partner, Daisuke?" He requested.
"Hm, Daisuke?" Gao asked.
"No, I don't think so." Kanata refused.
"Yes, I thought that might be your answer." Tasuku said.
"We've done our research on you, son." Jack said.
"We learned that you never had a worthy opponent and lost interested in Buddyfighting. That's why you prefer to stick to soccer from now on." Ryuuga said.
"But Buddyfight isn't just about winning or losing." Tasuku said.
"It also about having determination and confidence. Giving everything you got as you enjoy having the fun of your lives." Daisuke said.
"When I tried to before, I didn't feel like those things, no? I just don't think it's for me." Kanata said.
"We would still like you to have a Buddyfight with him. Just give it a try." He bowed as he plead. It surprised them but not to Daisuke.
"Tasuku..." Daisuke said quietly.
"Forgive me but, I just can't fight your partner. Sorry." Kanata apologized.
"Are you crazy?!" Gao asked as he was upset, surprising Kanata, "Show some respect, man. He's practically begging you here! He even lets his good friend to take his place! Hey, why not fight me instead!" He recommended himself, "Then if I win, you'll have to Buddyfight Daisuke!"
"I don't need to be rude, Gao, but I'm not going to play Buddyfight." Kanata refused as it shocked Gao as it got him frustrated.
"Then let's have a soccer showdown!" Gao recommended desperately as it surprised them.
"Soccer?" Tasuku asked.
"A showdown?" Daisuke asked.
"Wow, he's a real doofus too." Gaito said.
"Tell me about it. He's getting way to desperate now." Minako said. Then Kanata placed the soccer on the ground. Gao got into his position as he was at the goal, getting ready to block the soccer ball.
"It's not like you, Kanata. To rarely accepted a challenge like this." Athora said.
"You know how I love soccer." Kanata smiled, "I just couldn't say no! Besides, this is Gao we're talking about."
"Take your best shot!" Gao said as he was ready.
"You'll have 3 kicks, if Gao can stop even one of them, he'll be declared the winner." Gaito explained the rules.
"Sounds like Gao's got about 35% chance to stopping the ball." Daisuke said.
"Yeah, but it looks Gao won't be able to get it." Minako said.
"Go on my whistle!" Chibi Panda said as he blows the whistle.
"Think fast, Gao!" Kanata makes his first move as he shoots his first ball so fast that Gao sees how huge in his eyes, he got scared as he hesitatingly dodged it, giving Kanata the goal.
"He hesitated!" Minako said.
"Why'd you move out of the way?!" Gaito yelled, "At least try and stop it."
"It's part of my strategy to figure out his kick. I owe this to Tasuku and Daisuke. This is one battle I just can't avoid to lose!" Gao said.
"And... second kick!" Chibi Panda blew the whistle.
"Stop this one!" Kanata shoots the second ball. Gao makes his move to grab the ball as he quickly grabs it. It surprised Kanata and Athora as Chibi Panda blew the whistle, declaring game over. Gao got paralyzed after grabbing the ball.
"That leaves 2 to 0!" Gaito said.
"I gave it everything I have. And he caught it." Kanata was amazed. Gao then stomped his foot.
"Gotta stop this time! This one's not getting through Kanata!" Gao said as Batzz watches.
"We'll just see!" Kanata makes his final strike as he kicks the final ball as Gao quickly grabs it again. He tried to held with all of his might.
"I have to help Tasuku and Daisuke and make Kanata Buddyfight!" Gao held on as much as he can as his foot is nearly reaching the goal. Kanata and Athora were surprised that Gao is holding on. Then finally, Gao managed to stop the ball from reaching to the goal.
"Ball saved! Gao is the winner!" Gaito declared.
"Well, that's the first." Athora said, "You actually lost at something."
"Mhm." Kanata agreed.
"Is it me or are you kinda happy?" He asked.
"It was fun is all." Kanata said, "Okay, Tasuku. I'll battle your partner. What do you say?" He asked.
"What do you think, Daisuke? Think you're up for it?" Tasuku asked.
"Sure am." Daisuke nodded in agreement.
'Thanks to Gao's effort and quick-thinking. I think Kanata's spirit has been lifted a little.' Tasuku thinks.
"My hands are sizzling hot." Gao cries as his hands are burning red.
At the Aibo Academy Fighting Stage.
"Whenever there's a Buddyfight, Paruko Nanana is there!" Paruko said as Chibi Panda came in for a ride.
"And Chibi Panda will be on behind!" Chibi Panda said.
"Today's battle showcase is Star Dragon World users, Daisuke Masamune and Kanata Oozora! Will the winner be the elite fighter or the No-Damage Fighter?" Paruko announced.
"Since Tasuku dragged me into fighting you, I won't be going easy on you." Kanata said.
"No problem. I won't be going so easy on you either way." Daisuke said.
"Finishing kick on the azure field! Long shot! Luminize! Dragon's Fielder!" Kanata's Core Gadget is a blue soccer ball with azure lining.
"Throughout the galaxies of space and time! They are filled with cosmic energies! Luminize! Photonic Fighters!"
"Buddyfight!" Paruko and Chibi Panda said.
"Time to Raise the Flag!"
"I fight with Star Dragon World!" The Star Dragon World flag is the same as the original.
"Star Dragon World as well!"
(D: 10/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/None)
(K: 10/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/None)
"Kanata has the first move!" Paruko announced.
Gao and the others are on the seats, watching the match.
"Take it easy. All those chips make you sick." Gao said as he noticed Batzz was eating chips as the trash with near his seats.
"Here we go! I Charge. And I Draw!" Kanata said.
"This kid is soccer obsessed." Gaito said.
"Well he is wearing his soccer jersey and his Core Gadget is a soccer ball. It's no wonder he's obsessed with it." Minako said.
"Alright, now's our chance to see if Kanata is a No-Damage Fighter." Gao wondered.
"Don't worry about it, Gao. You'll see it soon enough." Tasuku said.
"I equip!" He paid one gauge to equip, "Crystal Spikes, yeah!" He equips sneakers in crystallize form, "Alright! Kickoff time! I call Blue Crystal Dragon, Kalvados to the center!" He called out a blue crystal dragon with futuristic azure armor, has a tail with the design of a snowflake, claws with green nails, its face is futuristic.
"He may use Star Dragon World like Tasuku and Daisuke, but Kanata doesn't use Neodragons or Photonics!" Paruko announced, "He uses a new attribute monsters called Prism Dragons!"
"Kalvados! Attack the fighter!" Kanata commanded as Kalvados used his laser beam attack from his horn and the wings as it hits Daisuke, inflicting 2 damage.
"Let's see what Daisuke can do now." Gao said.
"Neither of them is quite of this stuff." Batzz said.
"Nah, you'll see. Daisuke's incredibly strong, not just Tasuku."
"My turn! Draw! Charge and Draw! I call to the left, Photonic Knight, Diana!" He calls out a female humanoid dragon with azure scales the shines as bright as the night sky, white futuristic body armor covering everything but the face and arms, she also has white gauntlets, indigo hi-tech detachable wings in which they glow when she flies, in her right hand she holds a silver halberd with a cobalt blue aura, and in her left hand she hold a shield with the symbol of a crescent moon on it, "With her skill, I gain a gauge and regain one life!" He gains a gauge and regains one life, "And then I pay 1 gauge to Buddycall to the right! Photonic Fighter, Ryuusei!" He paid one gauge as he regained one life and Buddycalled.
"Let's go!" Ryuuga jumps as he transforms into his true form.
"Daisuke's Buddy Monster is in the game!" Paruko announced.
"I will activate Ryuusei's skill! I check the top 5 cards in my deck and placed one Photonic Gear to Ryuusei's soul! I choose Photonic Gear, Kabuto Bicker!" He brings out a large jet-like mechanized Japanese rhinoceros beetle with a dark gray shield-like shell, a light blue aura glowing on its wings, it has visor-like green eyes and the underbelly is indigo colored. When Crossnized with a monster, it's shield-like shell becomes a shield, the horn transforms into a doubled-bladed battle axe for the equipped monster, and it wings become a second pair of wings for the equipped monster, "Crossnize!"
"Kabuto Battle Axe! I gain a critical!"
"Crossnize, where did I see that?" Chibi Panda asked as he looked at the rule book, "Ooh! I found it! Crossnize is when monsters combine to become even stronger!"
"That's correct! You know your stuff!" Paruko complimented.
"Everything's right here in this book!"
"Professor Menjo's Buddyfight Super Secret Encyclopedia?!" Paruko read the title, "Wow! I have no idea that there's a book like this."
"Kalvados has 6000 defense! But Crystal Spikes' increases it by 2000! For a total of 8000 defense! Even with Crossnize and the additional critical. Your only option is do a Link Attack with Diana!" Kanata said as he recommended.
"The blades of the Photonic Stars! I pay one gauge to equip Photonic Twin Blade, Ryu! And when I equip Ryu, I equip another with Photonic Twin Blade in its name! I pay 1 life to equip Photonic Twin Blade, Star!" He paid one life and gauge to equip his two items, "Photonic Twin Blade, Ryu and Star!" Kanata was aware for it, "Diana and I will attack, I will start with Ryu!" Diana and Daisuke attacks with their blades.
"Lunar Cresent Slayer!" She said as they destroyed Kalvados but then it was revived due to Soulguard.
"That's Soulguard!" Paruko announced as Kanata's Core Gadget is glowing.
"Crystal Spikes' ability! Activate!" He begins kicking the ball with his item.
"What the-" Daisuke said as Kanata shoots the ball at Daisuke, inflicting one damage.
"After a Prism Dragon is attacked, Crystal Spikes can deal a blow of one damage!" Kanata explained, "If the monster's stays in the center."
"What an item! It only has zero power and critical, but..." Gaito said.
"What an remarkable ability." Abygale was amazed.
"Yeah." Minako nodded, "Never thought a glass shoe can actually gives him damage.
"Okay, Ryuusei! Time for a Link Attack!" Daisuke said as they make their secondary attack.
"No, you don't! I cast Brush Upper!" Kanata cast a spell as it brings little futuristic dragons as they brought up a barrier, protecting Kalvados.
"Looks like Kanata cast a spell to nullify the attack!" Paruko announced.
"I already know that Photonic Twin Blade, Star has a Penetrate Ability when attacking so I won't let that happen!"
"Damn! Then I'll discard a card and cast! Photon Energy Surge! I pay 1 life to send one Photonic Gear from the hand or field to the Drop Zone and destroy one monster! I'll send Shining Ryu to the Drop and destroy Kalvados!" Shining Ryu flies up as it was shining in photon as it dives to Kalvados and destroys it.
"Oh wow! He cast a spell to destroy Kalvados!"
"But his turn is now over and Kanata's still hasn't lost any of his life points!" Chibi Panda said.
"Could the rumors about Kanata Oozora being a No-Damage Fighter really be true?!" Paruko announced.
"Well, watch and find out! A flying and glittering radiance that outshines the starry of sky! Buddycall Quintessence Crystal Dragon, Athora to the center!" He paid 3 gauge as he Buddycalled and regained one life.
"Leave it to me!" He jumps as he transforms to his true form.
"Athora is the most powerful Prism Dragon! He has Double Attack! Ability to revive twice using Soulguard! And he can't receive any effect damage or be destroyed by an effect!" Kanata explained his Buddy's effect.
"So that means..." Ryuusei said.
"I can't use Star's ability." Daisuke said.
"He's beautiful." Gaito said after looking at Athora.
"Yeah... I didn't think his dragon would be this beautiful with all that crystals on him." Minako said.
"Sometimes beauty can be disguised as great strength." Abygale said. But Batzz didn't care as he continues eating the chips.
"Look at that gorgeous dragon! Those sparkling crystals, oh my!" Paruko announced as she was heavenly amazed by Athora's appearance.
"Looks like the other option of destroying that dragon is to attack with over 9000 power!" Daisuke said.
"I cast! Enhancement! Increases the gauge by 1 and draw a card!" He gains a gauge and draw a card, "To the left and right, I call Red Crystal Dragon, Almarone!" He brings out a red futuristic wyvern dragon with red and white scales.
"This time he's called out a pair of prism dragons!" Paruko announced.
"Almarone on the right! Attack the fighter!" Kanata commands as it flies and flips around until it hits Daisuke, inflicting one damage.
"Daisuke!" Ryuusei yelled.
"Almarone on the left! Your turn!" Almarone jumps up as it attacks Daisuke, inflicting one damage.
"You alright there?" He asked.
"Yeah. No need to be concerned of me. But I have to admit, Tasuku's right. He really is good." Daisuke said, "Time for me to get serious! Come to me, Kanata! With all you got!" Kanata said as the image of Daisuke acting like Gao as he felt something in his heart.
Oh. What's that strange feeling?" He asked himself, "It's like that time before!"
"Tasuku told me." Daisuke said as it got Kanata's attention, "That when you face off against Gao in soccer, you threw your heart into it. Giving it your all! You were determined and having a blast, it's the same thing happening right now. DO you feel it, Kanata"
"I never felt like this Buddyfighting." Kanata said.
"Oh yeah, but sometimes we just need the right challenge to realize our true faith." Daisuke said.
"I get it... If Buddyfighting can be like this... then, I can help but enjoy it!" Kanata realized.
"Yeah, now's that the ticket! Now, should we finish this game?"
"Better believe it! After I beat you, I'll play again!"
"Looks like he gets it now!" Gao said as he noticed how excited Kanata is.
"Finally. The day I've been waiting for." Athora said as he was waiting for this to come, "It's come at last."
"Athora! Attack the fighter!" Kanata ordered as Athora jumps up.
"Crystal Horn!" Athora attacks however...
"I cast! Photonic Soul Barrier!" He cast as he nullified the attack, regaining one life and gained a gauge.
"Huh?"
"Athora! Double Attack!" Athora attacks again as he attacks, inflicting 2 damage.
"Next, it's Daisuke's turn!" Paruko announced.
"Next, I cast Photonic Shuffle! I send two Photonic Gears from my deck to the Drop Zone and I gain 2 gauge! I send Infinite Zone and Black Wing!" Infinite Zone and Black Wing spins around as they faded and becomes gauges, "Next, I used the ability of my Photonic Gears, I pay one gauge to crossnize with Ryuusei from the Drop Zone, I choose Wheel Spino from the Drop Zone! Crossnize!" He paid one gauge as he brought back a quatraped spinosaurus-like tank with black armor and white outlines of energy stretching around its body with short front legs with razor sharp claws made of energy and wheel shaped spines made of the same energy attached onto the middle of its back onto its tail. When this card crossnizes with Ryuusei, the wheel spines and part of its back detaches from it's body and attached onto Ryuusei's arms as its head armor attached onto the Ryuusei's head.
"Shredding Wheel Saw!"
"And with that, he gains 4000 power and Double Attack! He now has enough to destroy Athora's 9000 defense! Thanks to Crystal Spikes' effect!" Paruko announced.
"Perform a Link Attack on Athora!" Daisuke said as Diana and Daisuke performed a Link Attack as he used Twin Blade, Ryu to attack as it destroyed Athora.
"Revive with Soulguard!" Athora has been revived due to Soulguard.
"Protect Kanata!" Athora said as Kanata's item glows.
"Activate Crystal Spikes' ability!" He shoots as it hits Daisuke, inflicting 1 damage.
"Once again, Crystal Spikes chips away at Daisuke's life points!" Paruko announced.
"That is sure one incredible item!" Chibi Panda said.
"I attack your Almarone on the right! Twin Blade, Star!" He slashed at Almarone as he destroys it, "You're up, Ryuusei!"
"Yeah! Shredding Wheel Battle Slash!" He used the claws and the axe together as he makes his attack on Athora as he destroys it.
"Revive with Soulguard!" Athora has been revived due to Soulguard.
"I will protect Kanata til the end!"
"Then Ryuusei will attack again with the ability of Wheel Spino!" Daisuke said, "Double Attack!"
"Kanata will not lose!" Athora jumps up as he battles against Ryuusei and evaded his attacks, "As long as I'm alive and I'm not going anywhere!"
"I cast!" He paid one gauge to cast, "Radiance Shell, yeah!" He cast a rainbow colored shield with four prisms around with the crystal in the center, "The attack is nullified and my opponent receives one damage!"
"What?!" Daisuke was surprised as the axe rebounded and hits him, inflicting one damage.
"Man, Tasuku really wasn't kidding about this guy. How does he do that?" He asked.
"Time for Final Phase!" Kanata declared.
"What did he say?!" Daisuke asked as he was surprised.
"What's Final Phase again?" Chibi Panda asked as he was looking in the manual.
"But only Daisuke should be able to declare Final Phase right now!" Paruko announced.
"I give my Dragon Powers to Kanata!" He flew as he was behind on Kanata, "I assist!" The six violet prisms surrounds Kanata as it spins around him as Kanata kicks the soccer ball.
"I cast!" His Crystal Spikes changed into grieves. All of the sudden, Daisuke was suddenly transported at a huge soccer stadium, "Impact!" The ball bounced as Kanata cycled around while kicking the ball as it grew bigger, "Cristiano... Crystal... Shoot!" He shoots the huge ball as it comes towards Daisuke as he got crashed, inflicting 4 damage.
(K: 10/ Item: Crystal Spike/ G: 2: Almarone/Athora/None)
(D: 0/ Item: Ryu/Star / G: 1: Diana/None/Ryuusei)
"Game End! Winner: Kanata Oozora!" Paruko declared as the crowd cheered for Kanata's victory, "Kanata defeated Daisuke without losing a single life point! A brilliant No-Damage Fighter has been crowned before us today!"
"He beat Daisuke. Intense." Gao said as he was amazed.
"Just as I suspected." Tasuku said, "He really is the No-Damage Fighter."
"It seems the rumors about him being the No-Damage Fighter were true." Gaito admitted.
"Yeah, they weren't kidding. For what we saw, Kanata's strategy is quite amazing." Minako said.
"And there's Gao, risking his life using his Impact and half-transforming into a dragon. Yet, this kid did it without breaking a sweat." Abygale said. Then Batzz smiled.
"That boy's not half bad. But on the other hand..." Batzz looked at Daisuke, "Photonic Gears, huh..."
Later, outside...
"Yes! I love to participate in the Buddy Masters!" Kanata happily accepted the invitation.
"Good. We were hoping you say that." Tasuku said.
"Glad that fight we made, changed your mind." Daisuke said.
"I can think of no better team that could represent our world." Jack said.
"And who would be better other than the No-Damage Fighter?" Ryuuga said.
"Our world?" Kanata asked as he thought of something, "I uh... Now that you mention it. What is my world?" He asked.
"Huh?" Athora was confused. As it gave a dull look on everyone's faces.
"Seriously? He doesn't even know his own world even from the fight?" Minako asked.
"They say geniuses are a bit weird." Abygale quoted.
"No mistake." Gaito said, "He's a really doofus."
"Real doofus?" Athora asked as he smirked, "You might be right."
"You know, me and my partner, Daisuke aren't the only ones who motivate you today." Tasuku said, "Gao did too, on the soccer field." He and Daisuke turned to Gao. Kanata nodded, "I'm sure that you two continue to drive and challenging each other in many Buddyfight matches."
"Next stop is... the Buddy Masters!" Gao said.
"You. No-Damage Fighter. I look forward to conquering you the most epic battle." Batzz said.
"Yeah. I can hardly wait." Kanata agreed. Batzz then looked at Daisuke.
'His Photonic Gear can come back from the Drop Zone, huh? But what if it's something else...' He wondered.
Later, at night at the Mikado Residence.
"In other news, the remaining five fighters were chosen to be representing today for the World Buddy Masters. The Ancient World Representative is Dai Kaido. The Legend World Representative is Shosetsu Kirisame. The Champion World Representative is Benkai Goketsu. The new world called the Cartoon World has a Representative, Saki Hikkikomori. And representing the Star Dragon World is Kanata Oozora." The news reporter explained as Gao watches the TV. He then heard snoring as he saw it was Batzz, laying on the floor, snoring, "Now all the Worlds are represented. Gao then chuckled from Batzz.
"Listen! You have to win that tournament, no matter what!" Chibi Panda said.
"Kay!" Gao nodded as he clenched his fist, "World Buddy Masters, here I come!" He said with pride and confidence.
Spotlight shown as Daisuke and Ryuusei appears on the stage.
"Welcome back for more Corner Time!" Ryuusei said.
"For this chapter, we're showing one card! And this is something special for Cosmics!"
"Oh! What is it?!" Ryuusei said excitedly.
"Find out now!" He clapped his hands twice, revealing the next card, it shows a small robotic scorpion made of red and brown crystals, with the red crystals make up the body, head and tail and the brown crystal making up the legs and small stinger. When this card attacks, the beast jumps onto the opponent and stabs them in a vital point of the opponent's body. When this card "Crossnizes" with a Cosmic monster, it detaches its legs and latches its main body onto the Cosmic monster's forearm, with its tail straightening into a spear like weapon, "This is a new Gear called Cosmic Gear, Nebula Scorpion. A size one Cosmo Beast, with 3000 power, 2000 defense and a critical of 1. When this card crossnize with a Cosmic attribute, it gains Penetrate when attacking."
"So I got a Cosmic Gear now?"
"It's better. Anyways, the next chapter will be about the start of the World Buddy Masters. I won't be participating but we'll let Kanata do it. So give me a review of what you think and provide good Cosmic idea please."
"Heh, too bad you lost." Ryuusei said.
"Shut it. Anyways, bye for now." They waved goodbye as the screen faded black.
