Chapter 7: Two Worlds! Champion vs Cartoon
My name is Chibi Panda! Last time, we met Hero World's Ku Teito! She's a scatterbrain Buddy Police Trainee. Her Buddy Koyomi Class Fifth Fleet, Satsuki is a super ginormous Battleship! Satsuki's Crew Troopers attacks gave Gao and Big Boss serious trouble! But they still managed to pull out a spectacular comeback victory! With Big Boss Batzz, Gao's gonna be the World Number One for sure! And I will do whatever I can to help them!"
At the time, when Batzz said he was done with the tournament. Saki was watching them.
"Okay... Now to check on him closer." Saki said as she slowly walks to him.
"Hey, you can't be serious, Batzz!" Gao said.
"Oh yeah, and what are you gonna do?" Batzz asked.
"Um, excuse me for a moment." They heard someone as they saw Saki.
"Hey, wait a minute? Isn't that the Cartoon World Representative?" Baku asked.
"Yes, I think her name is Saki Hikkikomori. Right?" Kuguru said.
"Yes, I am." Saki nodded.
"So, what do you want?" Batzz asked.
"Big Boss!" Chibi Panda said.
"Oh. Um... Just wanna to let you know that my match against Champion World will be coming up soon." Saki explained.
"Oh yeah. Her match is coming up in a few hours." Baku said.
"But it's the match of the two worlds that no one has ever heard about." Kuguru said.
"Now that mention it. I never heard of Cartoon World before." Gao said.
"My big brother told us about the Champion World but not Cartoon World." Haruka said. Then they began discussing about the Cartoon World.
"Hmph. Why should I care about this little comedy world?" Batzz asked.
"It's Cartoon World! And you should have the respect to come see it for yourself!" Saki said.
"I don't give a darn! Out of my way!" Batzz said as he rudely pushed Saki as she was suddenly stumbling.
"Wh-Whoa. Whoa!" She then starts to fell as she crashes onto Batzz.
"Big Boss!" Chibi Panda said as they came to help.
"Hey, are you okay?" Gao asked.
"What do you think I am? Get her off me!" Batzz demanded.
"Man, just calm down. It was an accident. Hm?" Gao noticed something on the ground, "Hey, Saki. I think this is your..." He saw a wig as he picked it up, "A wig?!" He was surprised.
"A wig?!" They got surprised.
"Ow..." They heard her voice as they noticed something, "Ouch. He didn't have to push us like that." It was a familiar girl from the island last tournament.
"Hey, wait a minute. I've seen her before." Gao said as another came out of the coat.
"Well, it's your fault for questioning that crazy demon." The boy said.
"Why you..." Batzz said as he gets angry and transforms to his true form, "You've got some nerve, crashing into me like that!" He yelled as the two kids got frighten.
"Stop it, Batzz!" Gao brought out the card as he quickly reverted Batzz back.
"Hey! What was that for?!"
"You didn't have to snap like that! It was an accident! It's not their fault." Gao said.
"So you're saying it's mine?" Batzz said.
"Hold on." Chibi Panda said, "Gao, you sound like you know those two." Gao looked at them.
"Yeah. I do."
At the cafeteria. Gao is going to make the introductions.
"Guys. There are my friends, Tsubaki Hikkimori and his sister, Tsubasa Hikkimori. They're known as the Hikkimori Twins." Gao introduced.
"Pleased to meet you all!" They make their greetings simultaneously.
"Who are the Hikkimori Twins?" Chibi Panda asked.
"They're Buddy Researchers, bro." Baku explained.
"They studied Buddy monsters and learning everything about them." Kuguru explained.
"Oh, so they're like child prodigies?" Chibi Panda assumed.
"Yeah. That's what we heard." Haruka said.
"So wait. Does that mean that both of you are the Representatives of Cartoon World?" Gao asked them.
"No..." Tsubaki shook his head, disappointedly, "It was actually one and it's my sister." He pointed to her.
"What?!" Gao was surprised.
"It's no surprised, Gao." Kuguru said.
"Yeah, only one people can be the representative, not two." Baku said.
"That's the rule." Chibi Panda said.
"No way... So all this time. You were actually two people at once?!" Gao asked.
"That's what you were talking about?!" They asked so surprisingly.
"Heh. That doesn't explained why that they became the Representative of Cartoon World." Batzz said.
"Right. We forgot about that." Gao was reminded.
"Do you want to explained how come we haven't heard about Cartoon World?" Baku asked.
"Well..." The twins looked at each other.
"The thing is..." Tsubaki tried to explained.
"We actually created that world!" Tsubasa explained.
"What?!" They screamed out as they were flabbergasted.
"You were the ones who created Cartoon World?!" Chibi Panda asked.
"Mhm!" Both nodded.
"That... is... so... awesome!" Chib Panda felt amazed.
"Chibi Panda?" Gao asked.
"I never thought I get to make the ones who created that World! I've always wondered who. I wanted to give them my respect! Of course, I still like to admire Big Boss and all." Chibi Panda shook their hands many times as the others got sweatdropped except Batzz.
"Hey, Tsubaki. Tsubasa. Just how is it that you two managed to create a World? I mean it must've taken a lot of work." Gao wondered.
"Oh yeah." Tsubaki said.
"We actually took some research."
"Research?" Baku asked.
"From a certain scientist." Tsubasa said.
"You mean..." Kuguru said as both twins nodded but a bit sad.
"Are you okay after what happened?" Haruka asked.
"We'll be fine." Tsubaki said.
"We can handle things easily!" Tsubasa said.
"In fact..."
"It took us half a month to finish it!" Both said.
"Half a month..." Gao said, "Wow, you guys were are genius!"
"Oh, look at the time." Kuguru said as she sees the time on the clock, "You two better go if you don't want to be late."
"We're on it!" Tsubaki said as Tsubasa nodded.
"Hold on there, bro. Don't you know you can't go since you're entering as two people?" Baku asked.
"As long as we're careful, we won't get caught, right?" Tsubaki asked his sister.
"You know it!" Tsubasa said. Baku sighed.
"Those two will never learn.."
"Aww, don't worry, buddy. They can handle it." Gao said.
At the stage...
"Welcome to the next match of the World Buddy Masters Tournament. Up next is up against two new Worlds that was never been known until now! First up is the Champion World Representative! Give it up for Benkei Goketsu!" Paruko announced as Benkei and his Buddy appears on stage. Benkei chuckled with a smirk on his face, "Following up, is the new Representative for the new World called the Cartoon World! Here is Saki Hikkikomori!" Saki appears on stage with her Buddy.
"Good luck, you two!" Gao said.
"Why are you saying good luck to both of them?" Gaito asked as he thought Gao was cheering for Benkei and Saki.
"Oh, well you see..." Gao was about to explained until Chibi Panda covers his mouth.
"Uh, what he means is, he wanted to challenged either of them later on!" Chibi Panda said.
"Well that makes sense. I can't wait to battle either of them too." Kanata said.
"Then you'll have to wait because later on, it will be Gaito's turn next." Minako said. Kanata chuckled.
"Wow, Gaito. Your girlfriend's so calculated all of the sudden."
"She's not my girlfriend!"
Benkei punches his gloves twice, "I don't know about that Cartoon World. But I like to smash it to pieces when I'm through with her!" Meanwhile, the twins are holding their position for balance.
"Hey, Tsubaki... Stay focused. We can't get caught." Tsubasa issued a warning to her brother.
"I'm trying. But I'm not used to carrying you. And why do you have to be the top and I have to be the bottom?" Tsubaki asked.
"I'm the representative. It's only fair if I'm the top." She said as Tsubaki moaned.
"Alright then! Before the players start luminizing. Let's check the new Worlds to see how they're doing! Here we go!" Paruko transported herself to Champion World.
At the Champion World, Paruko transported as it was pitch black.
"Warp Successful!" She came out, "Now let's see how the monsters from Champion World are doing. Hm?" She looked around, "Why is it so dark all of the sudden?" Then the spotlight shown, revealing the arena, with many Champion World monsters cheering the competitors on the arena, "Whoa! What an exciting thrill! It looks like they're cheering for their representative!"
"Takochu! Takochu!"
"Huh? They're not cheering their representative? Then who are they're cheering for?" Paruko asked as she sees Kane and Kwon are about to settle their match as they come charging to each other, "Oh no! They're coming towards us! Let's get to Cartoon World and fast!" She quickly transported before they clashed into each other.
At Cartoon World... Paruko transported.
"Warp Successful! Let's hope this World if safer than Champion World." Paruko announced as she looks around and saw that it was many cartoon characters all around, even as trees, flowers, and clouds, even the sun, "Whoa. This is actually kind of awkward. I didn't think that monsters from Cartoon World are actually everything. I don't know who is responsible but I don't bother trying to complain about this."
Back at the stage. Paruko transported back.
"Anyways, let's begin the match! Both players, luminize!" Paruko announced.
"Punching things down like a bag of sand! I will knock them off for 10 seconds! Luminize! One hit K.O!" Benkei's Core Gadget is a Punching Bag used for boxing.
"Let's have some fun! Get ready to enjoy your character turned to life! Luminize! Looney Cartoony!" Saki's Core Gadget is a cartoon drawing of animals.
"Let's hear it everyone! Buddyfight!"
"Raise the Flag!"
"I fight with Champion World!"
"We, uh I mean I fight for Cartoon World!" The Cartoon World flag shows a cartoon target with a face of a cartoon rabbit.
(S: 10/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/None)
(B: 10/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/None)
"So that's the Cartoon World flag." Baku said as he noticed the flag.
"Oh, it's so cute!" Kuguru said.
"It's like that cartoon show I saw!" Haruka said.
"I wonder what kind of monsters are there in that World." Gao said.
"The first move will go to Benkei!" Paruko announced.
"Charge and Draw! I call Double Hitter, Kwon to the left!" He calls out Kwon, "Attack the fighter!" Kwon attacks Saki, inflicting 2 damage, "My turn is over." Then Saki is suddenly losing balance.
"Oh no." Tsubasa said as Tsubaki managed to stay balance.
"Got it."
"Thanks." Tsubasa said.
"Don't mention it."
"My turn! Draw! Charge and Draw!"
"This is the first time the twins have ever Buddyfight, have they?" Chibi Panda asked.
"Hm? Twins?" Kanata asked as Gaito and Minako heard. Gao quickly covered Chibi Panda's mouth.
"Chibi Panda. You know you're not supposed to talk about that." He whispered.
"Says to the one who almost spill the beans."
"Uh, what he meant to say was..." Baku said.
"That we never seen Saki battled before or even twice." Kuguru said as Haruka nodded.
"Oh. I get it." Kanata said as they continued watching. Kuguru and Baku and Haruka sighed in relief.
"I will first call out, Cartoon Dinosaur, Barker!" She calls out a cartoon red dinosaur, wearing a dog collar as it was acting like a dog.
"Would you look at that folks. Witness the monster from Cartoon World." She flew to Saki, "Care to elaborate what Cartoon World is?" She requested.
"Huh? Well, uh..." Saki tried to explain.
"Just tell her the details. Just believe." Tsubaki encouraged his sister.
"Right." She nodded, "You see. Cartoon World is filled with all kinds of monster who are mostly made of everything, like the trees, the fishes, and even the sun. Like you see in shows." She explained.
"Yeah. I can see that." Paruko announced as she sweatdropped. Then she whispered to Takosuke, "I don't think I want to go to that World again."
"Takochu..."
"Aww, what a cute dinosaur." Kuguru said.
"Weird thing is that, that dinosaur is acting like a dog all of the sudden." Baku said.
"Yeah, don't all dinosaur acting like ferocious?" Gao asked.
"Not unless if they aren't from Cartoon World." Gaito said.
"He's right. That dinosaur is just a cartoon kind. Nothing much about that one." Minako said.
"Size 1, Dino attribute. 3000 power, 2000 defense, and a critical of 1. With this skill, he can instantly destroys a monster when he's called."
"Huh?" Benkei asked as he was confused.
"Go get him, Barker!" Saki said as the dinosaur comes charging in a happy doggy way as it charges at Kwon, as it destroys him.
"No fair!" Benkei complained. Paruko snickered.
"Okay, you have to admit. That is kinda funny when that dinosaur hits that fighter monster. But I gotta say, Cartoon World may be strange. But everyone will get used to it!"
"Next, I pay 1 gauge to equip! Bubble Staff!" She paid 1 gauge as she equips a huge bubble wand.
"An item card from Cartoon World!" Baku said.
"And it's some kind of bubble wand. And it's huge." Chibi Panda said.
"Heh, that's not what you call fun." Batzz said.
"Batzz." Gao said.
"With Bubble Staff's ability, I can send any random card from your hand to the Drop Zone and I gain a gauge for that!" She waved the staff as multiple bubbles flew around Benkei. One of the cards in his hand is caught in the bubble, he tries to take it but it pop as it was sent to the Drop Zone.
"Amazing! She actually managed to discard one card from Benkei's hand! And she's gains a gauge due to the effect of Bubble Staff!" Paruko announced as Saki gains a gauge.
"Now, Barker! Join with me and attack the fighter!" Saki said as Barker comes charging at Benkei as she swings her Bubble Staff and Barker headbutts as they inflicted 4 damage together.
"And my turn is over!"
"Heh. If I didn't know any better, I say you are actually childish in there, aren't you?" Benkei insulted.
"What?"
"Admit it. You're hiding something, aren't you?" He asked as Saki started to get nervous.
"Don't let him get to you, Tsubasa." Tsubaki whispered, "We can't lose this chance. We need to let the people who that Cartoon World will be part of theirs to enjoy." Tsubasa thinks as she smiled.
"You're right. We are the twins, we will do everything we can!" Tsubasa said, "Cut the chatter! And pick the pace! It's your turn!" She said.
"Fine! Draw! Charge and Draw! I cast! Double or Nothing!" He cast as he gains two gauges, "I pay 1 gauge and life to Buddycall to the right! Reckless Martial Artist, Kai!" He paid one gauge and life as he Buddycalled and regained one life.
"Heh! Bring it on!" Kai said as he jumps to the right.
"Benkei Goketsu has suddenly brought his Buddy. Champion World is filled with reckless fighters." Paruko announced.
"Martial Attribute. Size 2, 6000 power, 4000 defense, and a critical of 3! With his skill, I send my entire hand and draw the same amount of cards I discarded!" Benkei sends his entire hand as he drew the same number of cards he drew.
"Did he just wasted his entire hand?" Gao asked.
"Sure is, bro." Baku said.
"But why would he do that?" Kuguru asked.
"From the looks of it, I say Benkei is planning to redraw in order to get what he wants." Abygale explained.
"And that ability isn't the only thing that Kai has." Gaito said.
"For each card that was discarded, he gains a critical until the end of turn!" Benkei explained.
"What?!" Saki was surprised.
"Whoa! Kai gains critical for each card! No wonder that guy's so reckless. He's putting everything at risk in order to get stronger!" Paruko announced.
"I discarded 6. So he gains 6 critical!" He said as Kai grows stronger.
"This is bad, bro." Baku said.
"With that much critical. Saki will lose easily." Kuguru said.
"They can't give up. They have one chance of this. I know it." Gao said.
"Next, I equip!" He paid 1 gauge to equip, "Metal Boxing Gloves!" He equip Boxing gloves covered in metal. He goes to attack, "I'll attack you first!" He strikes at Saki, inflicting 2 damage, "Double Hitter, Kwon! Reckless Martial Artist, Kai! Finish her with a Link Attack!" Kai and Kwon are about to finish her.
"Tsubasa!" Tsubaki yelled.
"On it! I cast! Back to the Drawing Board!" She cast as the drawing board protected her and the two monsters are sent back to the deck.
"Hey! What the-!" Benkei was surprised.
"Did you see that?! Saki just cast a spell that sends those monsters back to the deck!" Paruko announced.
"Back to the Drawing Board. That spell can only be used if I'm going to be hit by a direct attack. And any monster that attacks will be sent back to the deck!" Saki explained.
"Damn it!" Benkei said.
"That's amazing! She managed to pull it off!" Kuguru said.
"That was a close one though." Baku said.
"Come on! You can do it!"
"Let's go! Draw! Charge and Draw!" She looked at her hand, "Got it. We have it now." She whispered.
"You mean our Buddy? Great! Call him out!" Tsubaki said.
"Alrighty. I pay 1 gauge to Buddycall my little friend to the center! Little Dewdrop Knight, Dewy!" She paid one gauge as she Buddycalled. Then her Buddy jumps to the center.
"As the knight, it is my swore duty to protect my friend!" Dewy said.
"Hahahaha! What good does a little raindrop gonna?!" Benkei laughed.
"This is no laughing matter! Saki has called out her Buddy from Cartoon World! But putting her monster in the center. It must be a reason." Paruko announced.
"Look at her Buddy. It's made out of water." Haruka said.
"That's because dewdrops are actually made out of water." Kuguru explained.
"Watery and Knightly attributes. Size 1, 4000 power, 1000 defense and a critical of 2! Dewy! Help me attack the fighter!"
"As you wish!" Dewy said as he runs to attack with his sword then Saki used her staff with Bubble to attack Benkei!"
"I cast! Ringer Time Out!" He cast as he nullified the attack.
"Benkei used a spell to nullify his opponent's attack. Let's hope Saki has something to help her win." Paruko announced.
"I cast! Anvil!"
"Anvil?" Benkei asked as he noticed a X target under him, "Uh oh." He heard something dropping from above as he looked up and saw an anvil as it hits on head.
"This spell can deal 1 damage to the opponent is my attack is nullified!" Saki explained as Benkei was hit with one damage.
"Dewy! Double Attack!" Saki said.
"Second time's the charm!" He attacks Benkei, inflicting 2 damage.
"Benkei's down to five left! She'll need to keep going if she wants to go the next round!" Paruko announced.
"Barker! Go!" Saki said as Barker comes charging.
"I cast! Practice Dummy!" He cast as the dummy took his place as Barker hits it.
"That spell can decrease the damage down to 0." Paruko announced.
"Too bad. You were all talk. And you really think a comedy routine can easily defeat me? No, I will let everyone in Champion World knows that I can crush my opponents easily!" He said.
At the Champion World, everyone cheers while Kane knocks down Kwon.
Saki felt down, "I end my turn."
"Heh. I knew you see it my way." Benkei said, "Draw. Charge and Draw. I cast! One Hit Knock Out!" He cast.
"One Hit Knock Out?" Saki asked.
"What's that card do?" Gao asked.
"From what we heard, it's a spell that can easily destroys all monsters on the opponent's side of the field." Kuguru explained.
"And for each monster. The opponent will take one damage. Also if the player has an item, that critical is added to the damage." Baku explained.
"Then that means..." Gao said.
"Take this! One Hit Knock Out!" He strikes at Saki, inflicting 4 damage as Saki's monsters are destroyed.
"Amazing! Benkei has knocked her entire field! And what's worse is that she took four damage! Can this fight really be over?!" Paruko announced.
"And now for you!" Benkei said as he makes his attack.
"I cast! Toon Hole!" She cast as a hole appeared under Benkei as he fell and went back to his position, "See that? I just sent you back to nullified your attack." Gao and his friends chuckled.
"Okay, now that's funny." Gao said.
"Yeah. I guess Cartoon World's not so bad." Baku said.
"Think how much of this will be when kids are going to use this World." Kuguru said.
"It's back to Saki's turn!" Paruko announced.
"Third time's the charm, it's my turn! Draw! Charge and Draw!"
"Hurry and use the Impact card!" Tsubaki advised as he whispered.
"Not yet. We need to get it one more attack." She whispered.
"I don't know what you're doing but hurry up!" Benkei complained.
"Fine! I call out my Buddy again, Dewy!" Saki calls out her Buddy again.
"Ha! What good does that do with your Buddy?" He asked.
"It's time for Final Phase!" She declared.
"Sake has just declared Final Phase! What does she have for this match?!" Paruko announced.
"You ready, Tsubaki?" She whispered.
"Ready as I'll ever be!"
"I cast!" Both said as she paid 3 gauge as Dewy merge with his Buddy. Saki wears the armor of a female knight but in aqua form. Tsubaki was in the waist area as he wears half of the armor, "Impact!" She raised her sword as a huge tidal wave appears. Benkei got scared as he sees the wave, "Go! Tidal Wave Slam!" She slammed the sword to the ground as the wave crashes onto Benkei, inflicting him 4 damage.
(S: 2/ Item: Bubble Staff/ G: 2: None/None/Dewy)
(B: 0/ Item: Metal Boxing Glove/ G: 3: None/None/None)
"Game End! Winner: Saki Hikkikomori!" Paruko announced as the crowd cheered.
At Cartoon World, many monsters cheered for Saki's victory.
"Thanks to that Cartoon World, it has now known to be shown to public!" Paruko announced, "As for Champion World..."
At Champion World, everyone slouches even the Kane and Kwon were laid down due to the lost from Benkei.
"What a total slump for those guys. Tough break. Better luck next time."
"Alright! We did it!" Tsubasa wanted to jump but Tsubaki stopped her.
"Wh-Whoa! Hey! Careful! We'll celebrate after we get out!" Tsubaki recommended.
"Oops." She chuckled nervously, "Sorry."
"Oh yeah! Now that's what I call a Buddyfight!" Gao said.
"Seeing two new Worlds fighting against each other... It gets me pumped up!" Chibi Panda said as he was burning with pride.
"Whoa. Somebody get that kitty a bath. He's really getting hot." Minako said. Kanata laughed.
"He sure is." Kanata said.
Outside of the stadium, Tsubaki and Tsubasa were laying on the bench, getting exhausted from the match.
"Man, that was rough." Tsubaki said.
"Tell me about it. I got exhausted after fighting that guy." Tsubasa said.
"Not that! It was rough of me for carrying you! We could've switched places!" He yelled.
"You know that I was chosen!"
"Well I wanted to be a representative too!"
"It's only room for one!"
"Hey guys. Chill out." Gao said as he and his friends made it, "You should be lucky that you guys made it to the next round."
"He's right, bro. You'll be going up against Kanata later on." Baku said.
"Wait. Kanata?" Both twins asked.
"Yes. Your next opponent is Kanata right after he defeats Dai." Kuguru explained. The twins looked at each other and grinned.
"I guess we should put the fighting aside..." Tsubasa said.
"And continue on winning the tournament." Tsubaki said as they joined hands.
"We are the Hikkimori Twins and we will accomplish our goals!"
"Man, they're back to normal already." Gao said. Kuguru chuckled.
"They are twins. It's so nice that they're getting along." She said. Batzz however didn't bothered to talk.
"Come on, let's go head over and see Dai and Gaito's match." Gao said.
"Hold on, kid." Batzz said as they stopped, "I still haven't changed my mind." He said.
"What?! Are you still serious about this?!" Gao asked.
"Don't try to stop me. It's my decision alone and I'm not going to change it." He said as he turns to leave.
"Batzz!"
Spotlight has shown as Daisuke and Ryuusei appears on stage. Welcome back to more Corner Time!" Ryuusei said.
"For this chapter will be about acyan armored dragonoid with a silver armored upper body and a lower body of a centaur with golden hooves, holding a cyan bow in its arms and a holster on its back with energy arrows, "Here is one of the Cosmic Monsters, this is Cosmic Dragoon, Centauri. A size 1 Cosmo Dragon with 4000 power and defense and a critical of 2. When this card is in the soul of a "Cosmic" monster, when that monster destroys an opponent's monster, I can deal damage to my opponent equal to the critical of the destroyed monster!"
"That card is something! It's really handy!" Ryuusei said.
"Indeed. This chapter is done. The next will be Gaito up against Dai Kaido."
"Do you think he'll have a chance?"
"Gaito will get his chance. Give me a review of what you think and give us good Cosmic ideas please. Til then bye for now!" They waved goodbye as the screen faded black.
