Chapter 11: Identify Revealed. Kanata vs Saki
"Hello! My name is Chibi Panda!"
"I cast! Asterism Effect!" Kanata cast.
"There's nothing you can do to save yourself!" Gaito broke out of the orb as he came out with his scythe, "Now vanish into darkness!" He tried to instantly defeat Kanata but somehow, his Impact was blocked off all of the sudden, "What's this?!"
"Until your turn begins, I can't lose this match." Kanata explained.
"But how?!"
"So Death Count Requiem is been defeated?!" Noboru asked as he was surprised.
"Impossible!" Minako said as Batzz grunted in frustration and Chibi Panda got shocked. Then Gaito's Impact wore off after it failed.
"Earlbow to the center!" He calls out Earlbow, "I call Abygale to the right!" He calls out his Buddy again, "Everybody, do a Link Attack on Athora!" He ordered everyone as they joined together to attack Athora. They slashed him together as he got destroyed but got revived due to Soulguard.
"I thought you would've learned your lesson the last time." Athora said.
"Once again. It's Soulguard!" Paruko announced as Kanata's Core Gadget glows again.
"I can't just stand by while you attack Athora! Crystalllll Spike!" He shoots at Gaito, inflicting one damage.
"Gaito!" Minako yelled.
"My Final Phase!" Kanata declared.
"Could this be the Impact we thought he wouldn't get a chance to use! Is it here at last?!" Paruko announced excitedly.
"I give my Dragon power to Kanata! Assist!" Athora flies behind Kanata as prisms spins around Kanata while he kicks his Core Gadget.
"I cast!" Kanata got his spikes to transformed as Gaito was transported to the soccer field, "Impact!" He kicks the soccer ball as it grows bigger and bigger, "Cristiano... Crystal... Shoot!" He shoots his Impact as it hits him, inflicting 4 damage.
"Gaito and Kanata was in an epic battle. Kanata was in serious trouble because of Gaito's Impact, Death Count Requiem! But then Kanata used the spell, Asterism Effect, which turn the tables. It helps him stay and totally incredible comeback victory! And now Kanata will go against Saki Hikkimori or the twins in fact in order for either of them to go the finals and face Gao! But I know Gao will World Number One!"
The next day, at the home of the twins, which is the laboratory. Tsubasa is trying to get on her brother while wearing the disguise.
"Come on. We have to hurry or we'll be late for the tournament!" Tsubasa said.
"But this isn't fair. I thought it was my turn to take the lead." Tsubaki complained.
"You know I was chosen as the representative for Cartoon World."
"Yeah. But we made it together. Why is it that you get to be the one?"
"Well maybe because they see me as a expert researcher." She said as Tsubaki starts to get mad as he drops her, "Ow! What was that for?!"
"I quit!" He said angrily as he leaves.
"Wait! What about our match?! We're going against Kanata later on!" She yelled but he ignored her.
Tsubaki was walking through the street near houses. He kicks the pebble along walking.
"This isn't fair." He said while kicking, "Why does she have to get the credit? It's supposed to be us together. Why can't they let us Buddyfight together against Kanata?" While he is kicking. Gao and his friends were walking as they saw him.
"Hey, Gao! Look!" Chibi Panda said, "Isn't that Tsubaki of the Hikkimori Twins?" He asked.
"You're right. It is." Gao said.
"He looks upset, bro." Baku said.
"I wonder what happened." Kuguru said.
"Heh. It's none of our concern. If it's his problem, he can solve it by himself." Batzz said.
"No way, Batzz. They're our friends. We need to find out what's going on." Gao said as he walks to Tsubaki, "Hey, Tsubaki!"
"Gao."
At the park, Tsubaki and Gao sat on the bench as he explained to them what's going on.
"Oh I see. So you're mad at your sister because of that you didn't the chance to play in her place." Gao said.
"Yeah." He nodded.
"Well then, why can't you switch places with her? You two are the ones who created that World." Chibi Panda said.
"Fraid not, bro." Baku said.
"He's right. Tsubasa is the one who was chosen to be the representative. I don't know why or how, but that's how it is." Kuguru said.
"But Tsubaki's right, this doesn't seem fair." Haruka said.
"Haruka?" Gao asked.
"Don't you think he can just get his turn during the tournament? He needs to have at least a chance to play Buddyfight."
"I know how you feel, but it's the rule. Besides if Tsubaki doesn't be careful, their cover will be blown and will get disqualified for the tournament." Baku said.
"But..." Haruka said.
"Don't worry." Gao said, "I'm sure you'll find a solution."
"Gao?"
"You two are twins after all. You should know how are you and Tsubasa gonna work things out. I know it will!"
"Yeah... You're right! I'll go back and apologize! And then we can think of a solution!" Tsubaki said as he was cheered up, "Thanks guy!" He left.
"Looks like he's all better now, right Tsubasa?" Gao asked as Tsubasa was hiding behind the tree.
"Mhm." She nodded, "But I didn't think you be able to cheer him up so easily, Gao." Gao then snickered.
"What can I say? I had a situation with sister before and it worked out well."
At the tournament...
"Welcome everyone to the semi-final match!" Paruko announced, "This match will determined of whoever reaches to the finals and faces Dragon World Representative, Gao Mikado!"
At the Waiting Room, Tsubaki and Tsubasa are getting ready.
"Hey, Tsubasa..."
"Yes?" She asked.
"Um... About what I said. I-" He said but she stopped him with her hand.
"You can save the apologizes for later. I'll let you take the stand for now."
"Really?"
"Yeah. But be careful though, we need to let the Cartoon World be respected by everyone. So let's do our best!" She extended her hand out.
"Yeah! You got it! You can count on me!" He takes her hand.
"We are the Hikkimori Twins! We are going to be Number One!"
"For this match, it's Kanata Ozora, the No-Damage Fighter!" Paruko announced.
"Man, this is so exciting! I never fought against Cartoon World before! This is going to be epic!" Kanata said as he got excited.
"You gotta give Saki some credit. Not only she's a representative, I have a feeling she is responsible for that World." Athora advised.
"Yeah! I'll thank her later."
"His opponent is the Representative of Cartoon World, it's remaining female competitor, Saki Hikkikomori!" Paruko announced as Saki ascended along with her Buddy.
"It's an honor to fight you, No-Damage Fighter." Saki said as she tried to wave her arms. But in the twins' point of view. Tsubaki is trying to keep his balance.
"Whoa, be careful! I'm gonna fall!" Tsubaki said.
"I told you this would happened eventually! Haven't you practicing of learning of your balance?!" Tsubasa yelled quietly.
"I studied Buddy monsters not physic laws!" Tsubaki argued.
"Weird. As if as though Saki is losing balance all of the sudden." Paruko announced, "Is everything okay, Saki?"
"Huh?" Tsubaki makes a girly voice, "Um, yes. I am okay! Just got tired after the excitement of having a Buddyfight with the No-Damage Fighter." Kanata chuckled.
"Please, you're making me blush. Just call me Kanata. It's okay." He said.
"Oh, sure! Thank you!"
"Well, if there's no problem. Then players, luminize your decks!"
"Do you think that twins are gonna be okay?" Kuguru wondered.
"They made out before, they can do it again." Gao believed.
"But remember we have to keep this as a secret, bro. We don't want anyone to suspect Saki." Baku advised.
"What do you mean 'suspect'?" Minako asked as she and Gaito came by.
"Gaito! Minako!" Gao said, "What are you guys doing here?" Minako chuckled.
"Gaito wanted to see Kanata today."
"No! It's not like that!" He yelled, "But putting that aside, what do you mean by 'suspect' on Saki?"
"Huh? Oh, um..." Gao tried to think of an answer.
"Bro here said that we shouldn't let Saki suppress Kanata just because he's the No-Damage Fighter." Baku said.
"So it's 'suppress'?" Minako asked.
"Yes! Yes! Suppress!" Haruka said.
"It does make sense." Gaito said as he looked at Kanata, "There's no doubt that Saki would lose against Kanata."
"Let's have some fun! Get ready to enjoy your character turned to life! Luminize! Looney Cartoony!"
"Finishing kicks in the azure of fields! Long shot! Luminize! Dragon's Fielder!"
"Buddyfight!"
"Raise the Flag!"
"I fight for Cartoon World!"
"Star Dragon World!"
(S: 10/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/None)
(K: 10/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/None)
"Let's check in the Star Dragon World for a preview!" Paruko announced as she warped, "Warp!"
At Star Dragon World, many monsters are cheering 'No Damage Win!'
"As expected, everyone in Star Dragon World is cheering for Kanata! His reputation is really rising!" She announced, "But now let's go to the Cartoon World!"
At Cartoon World, all the monsters are happily cheering.
"This is unexpected. I never thought they were this supportive for Saki. I wonder why though. But nevermind that. Let's get back to the match!" She announced as she warped back to the stage.
"Kanata will make the first move!" Paruko announced.
"Charge and Draw! I call Rizzling to the left!" He calls out Rizzling, "Attack the fighter!" Rizzling shoots its beam at Saki as she got inflicted by 1 damage, "My turn is over!" Then he noticed that Saki is starting to lose balance all of the sudden.
"Hey, stop struggling. We can't get caught." Tsubaki said.
"That monster attacked us. It's obvious, I won't be able to withstand that." Tsubasa said.
"Don't give up. We need to keep going."
"Um, is everything okay, Saki? You seem to be trembling." Kanata said.
"Oh! It's nothing. Just got tired after practicing." Saki said.
"Oh I see. Well don't let it get to you. I wanna Buddyfight with you! I've never battled against Cartoon World before! So let's keep going!"
"Sure. It's my turn! Draw! Charge and Draw! I call to the center, Stone Wall, Blocky!" She called out a huge rectangular stone with a face of angry man, has arms and legs.
"Look at that! Another Cartoon World monster!" Paruko announced.
"Size 1 Block attribute! 3000 power, 6000 defense and a critical of 1!"
"Saki brought out a monster with high defense." Kuguru said.
"Well Blocky is like a defensive shield, maybe it can be used to defend against Kanata's attacks." Baku assumed.
"And I equip! Bubble Staff!" She paid 1 gauge as she equipped her item, "Blocky! Attack the fighter!" Blocky jumps up to slam at Kanata.
"I cast! Mars Barrier!" He cast as he nullified the attack.
"Oh come on!" She yelled.
"Idiot! You know that you should've added another in case that happened." Tsubasa complained.
"Hey, I'm trying here!" He whispered to her, "My turn is over."
"That's odd. This isn't something that Saki can do." Gaito said as he watched the battle.
"Yeah. Why would she called out a monster in the center instead of putting left or right. Doesn't that monster have a Move ability?" Minako asked.
"Apparently it is, bro." Baku said as he sighed, "But I guess that Saki forgot about that."
"Hmph. Pathetic. And he's supposed to be the fighter?" Batzz said.
"Hm?" Gaito said as he overheard.
"Ah um, he meant she! She's supposed to be the fighter?" Gao said as he nervously chuckled as he cleared the suspicion, "Batzz, don't blow this for them. They'll disqualified if you spoil their secret." He whispered to his Buddy.
"Not my problem."
"You're gonna have to do better than that if you want to beat me. Draw! Charge and Draw! I equip! Crystal Spike!" He paid one gauge as he equipped his item, "You ready, Athora?" He asked his Buddy.
"Ready as I'll ever be, Kanata." Athora said.
"Alright! I Buddycall to the center! Quintessence Crystal Dragon, Athora!" He paid 2 gauge as he Buddycalled and regained one life.
"Let's do this!" Athora jumps as he transforms to his true form, "Let's see if you can stop me!"
"Athora! Attack Blocky!" Kanata commanded.
"You got it!" Athora said as he flies up, "Crystal Horn!" He strikes at Blocky as he destroys it.
"Now! Double Attack the fighter!"
"Okay!" He flies around again, "Crystal Horn!" He strikes at Saki, inflicting 2 damage.
"Wh-Whoa!" Saki said as she starts to lose her balance.
"H-Hey! Careful!" Tsubasa said.
"I'm trying." Tsubaki said as they managed to keep in balance.
"Rizzling! Attack the fighter!" Kanata said as Rizzling attacks at Saki, inflicting one damage, "And that's the end of my turn."
"Three damage in one turn. This isn't good for Saki." Gao said.
"Saki never faced Kanata before. No doubt that she won't stand a chance." Minako said.
"We won't know until she tries!" Gao said.
"Yeah! After all, she is the one who created that World!" Chibi Panda said.
"What? She's the one who created the Cartoon World?" Gaito asked as he got surprised.
"Chibi Panda! Why'd you say that?!" Gao yelled.
"Oops." Chibi Panda said.
"Wow. I didn't think that girl is a genius there." Minako said.
"My turn! Draw! Charge and Draw!" She Draw as she looked at the card she drew, "Hey, Tsubasa. Let's call out our Buddy."
"Huh?! Right now?!" Tsubasa asked as she got surprised.
"He gets to call his Buddy out, so we should do the same."
"Hmm. Fine, but don't blame him if you mess up."
"You got it." Tsubaki said, "I Buddycalled to the right! Little Dewdrop Knight, Dewy!" She paid one gauge as she Buddycalled and regained one life.
"I will protect my Buddy!" Dewy said.
"Hm? Why would she call out her Buddy for?" Kanata said.
"I cast! Three Wishes!" She cast as she gained 3 gauge.
"It seems Saki cast a spell that'll boost her gauge by 3! What is she planning this time?" Paruko announced.
"Next, I call to the center! Guardian of the Tree, Alice!" She paid 2 gauge as she calls out a huge dryad woman, covered in tree barks and leaves, green skin, has long hair vines, her eyes closed and her smile.
"Whoa! That's huge!" Kanata said as he was amazed. And then everyone is amazed.
"Oh wow! Look how huge that monster is! It's even bigger than Terra!" Paruko announced.
"I didn't think they carried that card." Gao said.
"No doubt about that." Kuguru said.
"You said it, bro." Baku said as Haruka nodded in agreement.
"Alright. Tell me what's going on." Gaito asked, "What's with 'they' all of the sudden?"
"Huh? Um, well..."
"You're up to something, Gao. Spill it!" Minako demanded.
"Uh..."
"Hey, look! Saki's making her attack!" Chibi Panda said.
"Alice! Destroy Athora!" Saki commanded as Alice used her tree vines as it grabbed Athora.
"Athora!" Kanata yelled. Then Alice had the tree to raise a tree like fist as it smashes Athora, destroying him instantly. Then Athora was revived with Soulguard.
"I won't go down that easily!" Athora said as Kanata's Core Gadget glow.
"You ask for it! Crystal Spike!" He shoots the ball as it hits Saki, inflicting one damage. Then Saki started to lose balance again.
"H-Hey! Don't fall!"
"Too late!" Tsubaki said as they fell.
"Huh?! Saki, are you alright?!" Kanata asked as he was surprised when Saki fell.
"Um, yeah. Everything's okay." Tsubaki said as he got out the disguise by accident.
"Huh?" Kanata was confused of what he saw.
"Is that..." Gaito said as he recognized that boy.
"Wait a minute! What's going on here?! Isn't that the boy from the Hikkimori Twin, Tsubaki?" Paruko announced as she saw Tsubasa with her, "And there's his sister! What does this mean?!"
"Takochu! Takochu!" Her Buddy explained.
"Wait. Do you mean to say that the twins and Saki are one in the same?" Paruko announced as she sweatdropped. Then the crowd started booing at them for cheating.
"This looks bad, bro." Baku said.
"Their cover's blown!" Kuguru said.
"Heh, I knew this would happened. Serves them right to play together as one." Batzz said.
"Ladies and Gentlemen. I am sorry to announce but we'll disqualify the twins and then-" Paruko was about to announced.
"Wait!" Kanata yelled as it got her attention.
"Huh?"
"Let us continue the fight!" He considered.
"What?!" She asked surprisingly as everyone got confused, "What are you saying, Kanata? Those two broke the rules. They should know that only one competitor can compete against one opponent in a match."
"So? For what I've seen, one of the twins is letting the other do the play. They have bend the rules but as long they play Buddyfight, it's okay."
"True. But..."
"Hey, you two!" Kanata yelled to the twins, "Let's continue the fight! But you two will work together for this match!"
"Work... together?" Tsubaki asked.
"You really mean it?" Tsubasa asked.
"Sure! It's better now!" He said as it made the twins happy.
"Yeah!" The twins cheered.
"Well, I suppose we'll let it slide for now. But know this everyone, don't let this happened again. We have rules you know?" Paruko announced.
"Right!" Everyone agreed.
"This is great! Now they can fight without holding back!" Gao said.
"Guess they got lucky, thanks to Kanata." Kuguru said.
"Hooray for those twins!" Haruka cheered.
"But this is only one time, bro. They can't let this happened again. They will have to do it on their own." Baku said.
"Good for them. But I'm not satisfied for this." Batzz said.
"Don't worry, Big Boss. You'll fight Kanata soon." Chibi Panda
"Dewdrop Knight, Dewy..." Tsubaki said.
"Attack Rizzling!" Tsubasa said.
"As you commanded!" Dewy used his sword as he slashed Rizzling and destroys him.
"We cast! Bubbling Wave!" The twins cast the spell, "Our item can attack even if we have a monster in the center!"
"Really?" Kanata asked.
"We attack Athora!" The twins said as they go attack Athora together. They whack him with their item as they destroyed him. But Athora is revived due to Soulguard.
"Nice try! But it won't work!" Athora said as Kanata's core gadget glows.
"Crystal Spike!" He shoots at the twins as it dealt them one damage.
"Ooooh! That must've hurt for the twins! They got hit by 1 damage due to the effect of Crystal Spike!" Paruko announced.
"No! We're gonna lose!" Tsubasa said as she was starting to cry.
"Don't give up, Tsubasa! We'll finish him off eventually!" Tsubaki said with confidence.
"Sorry, buddy. But it's not gonna happen." Kanata said as it surprised them, "Time for Final Phase!" He declared.
"I'll give my Dragon power to Kanata!" He flew around as he flew behind Kanata, "Assist!" The prisms spins around Kanata while he kicks the soccer ball, "I cast!" His Spikes changed into grieves as the twins were transported to the soccer field. Then Kanata kicks the ball as it grew bigger, "Cristano... Crystal... Shoot!" He kicks the ball as it was heading towards the twins as it hits, inflicting damage.
(Tsubaki/Tsubasa: 0/ Item: Staff/ G: 2: Dewy/Alice/None)
(K: 10/ Item: Crystal Spike/ G: 0: None/Athora/None)
"Game End! Winner: Kanata Ozora!" Paruko announced as the crowd cheered for Kanata's victory, "Once again, Kanata has beaten the player without taking any damage at all! He has now entered to the finals where he'll go against the Dragon World Representative, Gao Mikado!
"Wah! We couldn't beat him!" Tsubasa said as she cries.
"I thought our World would stop him!" Tsubaki said as he cries too.
"Hey now. Don't cry." Kanata said as they stopped, "You guys did your best out there. And I get the chance to battling the Representative of Cartoon World! Better yet, now everyone can enjoy playing that World."
"You really think so?" Tsubasa said.
"Of course it is." Athora said, "You two will earn the credit for the creation of the new World." It got the twins inspired as they felt happy.
"That's right." Tsubaki said.
"We don't need the prize. We have something else." Tsubasa said.
"That everyone will have a chance to use the World we created!" Both said it as they cheered.
Later, outside of the tournament...
"So you guys are leaving?" Gao asked.
"Yep." Tsubasa nodded.
"We're going back to the Buddy Research Facility. We're going to show our presentation of our new World!" Tsubaki said.
"And then once it's approved, everyone will play the Cartoon World!"
"You two should be proud of yourselves." Baku said.
"It's so much fun that the Cartoon World is actually amazing." Kuguru said.
"Yeah! Yeah! You guys are the best Buddy Researchers!" Chibi Panda said.
"Do you have anything to say to them, Batzz?" Gao asked his Buddy.
"Hmmm. I suppose I admit. It was quite fascinating." Batzz said.
"There. You see? It doesn't hurt of being honest to yourself." Gao said as Batzz is starting to get mad.
"Don't push it, kid." He said as everyone laughs.
"I hope we'll see each other again someday." Gao said.
"You know it." Tsubaki said.
"And once we come back, we'll have our Buddyfight with you, Gao!" Tsubasa said.
"And this time, we'll do it our own ways." Tsubaki said.
"I get ya." Gao said as the twins waved goodbye and leaves, "I'm going to miss those guys."
"I think you miss them already." Minako said as she and Gaito appears behind.
"Gaito! Minako!"
"However, you all have a lot of explaining to do after the match." Gaito said.
"Oh right. Your match against Kanata." Kuguru said.
"Better get ready then, bro. You'll need to get your deck tuned for this." Baku said.
"Yeah! Let's get right on it!"
Spotlight have shown as Daisuke and Ryuusei appears on stage.
"Welcome back to more Corner Time!" Ryuusei said.
"For this chapter, one card will be shown!" Daisuke said, "Presenting... now!" He clapped his hands twice as the card revealed itself. It shows a two gauntlets with silver Circuits, "This is a new item. It's called Double Cosmic Fists: Cosmo Break. It's effect that when this card destroys an opponents monster I can draw card equal to the size of the destroyed monster."
"So if it's a size 3..." Ryuusei said.
"I would draw 3 cards." Daisuke said.
"I wonder what happens if its over 3?"
"No way. That's impossible. But if it is, I would be decked out if it's over like 50. And my hand would be too full when drawing that many cards. Anyways, this chapter is done. The next chapter will be the battle of the No-Damage Fighter against the Mighty Sun Fighter. Let's hope Gao can finally finish that guy off. Give me a review of what you think and gives us another cosmic ideas. Til then bye for now!" They waved goodbye as the screen faded black.
