Chapter 12: Title for World Number One
"Hello! My name is Chibi Panda!"
"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.
"Kanata was up against the Cartoon World's Representative, Saki Hikkikomori. However, the tides have turned as their identify got exposed. Things are looking for bad for them but Kanata is a considerate person as he lets them fight him for this match! I'm so happy that I could cry! But there's no time for tears! Because this match will be the final for Gao Mikado and Kanata Ozora! And I believe that Gao will be World Number One for sure!"
The next day at the tournament, Paruko is announcing on big screen.
"Hi there! It's me, Paruko Nanana! As you know. the red robin portion of the World Buddy Masters Tournament has come to an end! And today, the final begins! Who will be crowned the World Number One! Will it be the Mighty Sun Fighter, Gao Mikado? Or will it be the amazing No-Damage Fighter, Kanata Ozora?"
At Dungeon World, the monsters are cheering as Paruko transported there.
"Hello, Dungeon World! Sorry, your fighter didn't make it to the finals. But do you have a favorite? Who do you think it'll win, sir?" Paruko asked the Skeleton Knight.
"Kanata and Athora, obviously! I can't stand the thought of that Batzz winning!" He replied.
"Oh? And why's that?"
"Because he tried to destroy Dragon World! I tell you, the bonehead should be demon food!" He yelled as Paruko shrieked.
"This reporter can see the tempers of flaring anticipations of the final round. Up next, Kanata World!" Paruko announced as she transports to Kanata World, "Warp!"
"Hey!" The Skeleton Knight yelled.
At Katana World...
"Warp Successful!" She came out, "Greetings, Katana World!" Paruko announced as she noticed that the monsters are still kneeling, "Oh my. This is a new one. They're clearly upset that their fighter didn't make it. Out of respect, I'll move on to the next world. So that means I have to go to Darkness Dragon World." She felt nervous as she transported to Darkness Dragon World.
At Darkness Dragon World, the monsters are getting intense all of the sudden as Paruko started to get nervous from what she saw.
"I'll pass on this one." She concluded, "As for Danger World, and Hero World. Neither seem to be spectators watching."
At Ancient World, many monsters are watching on screen...
"But the other Worlds are incredibility, pumped up for this Buddyfight!" Paruko announced as Magic World are cheering on, including Legend World, Champion World, and Cartoon World, "Come to think of it. I don't know how they normally behave. But I do know that everyone's eyes will be glued to the action of the final round. Even yours truly!"
Outside of the Tournament...
"It's here. It's here! It's finally here!" Chibi Panda said excitedly, "The Buddy Masters Final Round is today! Gao and Big Boss Batzz are gonna win and become World Number One!" He cheered for excitement.
"Chibi Panda's really excited, huh?" Haruka asked.
"But he makes it sound like Gao already won." Noboru said.
"Chibi Panda wants it more than anything." Kuguru said.
"So what are you guys gonna do when you win?!" Chibi Panda asked excitedly.
"Well we haven't won yet. But if we do, I'll just practice for the next tournament." Gao said, "And you, eh Batzz?" He asked his Buddy as Batzz was sitting there, eating chips.
"I'll personally go tell all the monsters of all the Worlds... That I'm the greatest, most powerful monster there is!" Batzz boasted.
"That's the kind of confidence I like in a Buddy." Gao agreed, "Just make sure to keep your cool in the final alright?" He requested.
"Ha. In your dreams." Batzz said.
"They're getting along again." Haruka said.
"That's good. I'm glad those two are finally getting along." Kuguru said.
"Yeah. They're starting to act like Buddies." Noboru said.
"As the ambassador from Dragon World, it's taken a long time to get Gao and Big Boss on the same page." Chibi Panda said as he was crying, "It burst tears to my eyes to see all my heart's first pain!" He cries more.
"Get real, Panda. Gao and Batzz have made it as far cause they worked hard and fought well. You have nothing to do with it." Noboru said.
"That's not true! I did so! How dare you! I've supported Gao and Big Boss in every chance I had! I've done way more than you, Kitten Shirt, so en garde!" He pull out his sword, "Unless you take your words back, you've got a fight on your hands!" He fights Noboru while Baku finished tuning Gao's deck. Gao laughed after seeing this.
"Here it is, bro." Baku said as he handed Gao the improved deck.
"Alright!" Gao said as he got excitedly.
"Considering who your opponent is, tweaking your deck to optical officiates wasn't easy." He explained.
"I'm sure."
"What kind of deck did you build?" Noboru asked while Chibi Panda hits him with his sword as Gao took the deck.
"A Super Aggressive Attack deck." Baku said.
"Super Aggressive Attack?" He asked.
"You can attack up to 7 times a turn!"
"7 times a turn?!" Haruka asked as she was surprised.
"Are you serious?" Kuguru asked as she was surprised too. Gao chuckled.
"That's intense!" Noboru was surprised while he stopped fighting with Chibi Panda.
"I had to build a unique deck that can compete with Kanata's choice defense. As the No-Damage Fighter, your regular attacks won't work." Baku explained.
"I cannot wait to use it!" Gao said with so much excitement, "Now I'll win for sure!"
"World Number One, here we come!" Chibi Panda said.
"Wait til they got a load of me!" Batzz said as he stands up and transforms to his true form.
"Ah! Oh no!" Chibi Panda screamed after Batzz released his lightning.
"Control yourself, Batzz! The match hasn't started yet!" Gao yelled as Batzz turned back to his small form.
"I'm pumped! They won't see me coming!" Batzz said with motivation and pumping up.
"It's gonna be a tough Buddyfight. He'll probably come down to how long you'll able to hold out." Baku said for expectations.
"No sweat! Leave it to me!" Gao said as there was a knock on the door. Batzz noticed the knock as an employee came in.
"Okay, Mr. Mikado. We're all ready for your press conference now." He informed, "Remember to act naturally and be yourself." He advised, "Please follow me."
"Right behind you." Gao said.
At the hallway, Kanata was walking with his Buddy.
"It's almost match time." Athora said.
"Yeah. I wonder what'll be like Buddyfighting against Gao. Just thinking about it gets my heart racing." Kanata said.
"Are you saying you're nervous?" He assumed.
"Of course. I mean. Soccer and school never feel like this. Cause they came easy to me. But there's something about Gao. Something that's different."
"Huh?" Athora was confused.
"He's the best Buddyfighting rival I could ever have asked for. I'll need to be on top of my game." He swore as Athora smirked and chuckled.
"You always are."
"I just wish it would start already." Kanata said anxiously as he received a notification on his phone and takes the call.
"Hi, Kanata. Are you there?" A familiar voice asked.
"Yeah. Hi, Tasuku. Is Daisuke there too?" Kanata asked.
At the Buddy Police HQ, Tasuku and Daisuke are at the monitor while Jack and Ryuuga are training.
"Yes, he is. We were just happy to hear that you made it to the finals." Tasuku said.
"Hmph. Despite the fact that he survived Gaito's Impact though." Daisuke said as Tasuku laughed.
"That's true. But anyways, congratulations."
"Thanks." Kanata thanked on the phone, "I'm having a blast."
"Be careful with Gao. He's very good" Tasuku advised.
"And one more thing, Gao's friend, Baku, upgraded his deck so better watch out." Daisuke advised.
"Don't you think it's rude to interrupt a conversation like this?" He asked.
"Well, it's more to share the conversation on phone than just doing it separately, you know?" Daisuke said as Tasuku chuckled nervously.
"You're really something, Daisuke."
"Thanks for the advices. I know I'll do my best."
At the hallway, Gao and Batzz were walking to the press conference. However Gao stopped and Batzz went ahead.
"Wait. Hold up." Gao said as Batzz stopped and turned.
"What is it? We're on stage in 5." Batzz said.
"Well, there's something I've been wanting to tell you."
"What? You're not getting cold feet, are ya?" Batzz assumed.
"Not that. I'm just glad that you're my Buddy. Without you, Batzz, none of this would be possible. Because you agreed to stay and be my Buddy. We're in the finals today." Gao explained as Batzz look at Gao and Gao looks at him, smiling, "So thanks a lot. Buddy." He thanked.
"Hmph. Move it or we're gonna be late." Batzz said as he goes ahead to the conference, "Save that talk for the World Number One."
"Really?! That's it?" Gao asked as he runs to catch up with Batzz.
At the press conference, Asmodai is wearing his yellow suit as he makes the announcement. With Tetsuya wearing the suit too.
"Ladies and Gentleman! Boys and Girls! Allow me to introduce our two talented competitors in the World Buddy Masters Finals! Come on!" Asmodai announced as the lights were off and the spotlight was on for the entrance, Gao and Batzz enters, "First up is the Mighty Sun Fighter, Gao Mikado and his Buddy, Demon Lord Dragon, Batzz!" The reporters are taking snapshots at Gao and Batzz as Gao is getting blinded by the flashes from the cameras.
"Whoa! What a crowd!" Gao said as he was amazed, "Never thought it been like this." Batzz then smiled.
"Next up is the No-Damage Fighter! Kanata Ozora and his Buddy, Quintessence Crystal Dragon, Athora, yo!" Tetsuya announced as Kanata and Athora entered and many reporters snapshot them.
"To recognize our time limit tradition of fair play... We now ask the two Buddyfighters to shake hands!" Asmodai announced as Gao and Kanata walked towards each other to give a handshake.
"Batzz and I are gonna beat you, Kanata." Gao said.
"We'll see. I never lost before and I don't plan on starting now." Kanata said.
"How about we agree... to have the best Buddyfight ever!" Gao recommended.
"Agree! I've been waiting a very long time for this. Now what?" He asked.
"Shake it and say 'good luck'." He extended his hand.
"Good luck." Kanata takes Gao's hand as the reporters take shots. Then Batzz walks towards Athora.
"Hey." Batzz said angrily.
"Good luck to you, Batzz." Athora wished.
"Barlbatzz doesn't require luck." Batzz said as Athora got surprised, "I'm gonna blow you away with my incredible power."
"You arrogant oaf! I'll never lose to you!" He yelled as Batzz was wrapped with lightning.
"Show me what you got."
"Soon enough!"
"Batzz! What are you doing?!" Gao yelled to stop him but it was too late as they transformed to their true forms.
"Fight me here and now!" Batzz demanded as the people are starting to get scared.
"Come on! Save it for the match! Fighting off the stage will result in severe penalty." Asmodai issued a warning.
"And lots of property damage, yo!" Tetsuya said. Then Dai banged on his drum.
"It's a festival! A festival! Come one, come all! Join us for our final round pre-celebration feast!" Dai said as the waiter rolled a tray of fish dishes.
"Dai Kaido?!" Gao was surprised for seeing him here. And then Batzz noticed him too.
"I figured Batzz could have some pre-matching excitement, so I brought snacks." Dai explained, "Hey, Batzz! I brought your favorite, giant pizza!"
"Is this for Deck Builders too?" Baku asked.
"It's true, Big Boss! Look! He made you a giant octopus pizza!" Chibi Panda said as he brought out a plate of pizza with octopus toppings on it.
"Yeah, right. Like pizza or any other food gonna chill out that dragon." Noboru said but then Batzz reverted back to his small size as he starts eating pizzas, "Hey! It worked!" He got surprised after seeing it.
"Batzz calm down quicker than we thought." Haruka said.
"I wonder if he's cranky because he was just hungry?" Kuguru assumed.
"I'm kinda hungry too." Baku said.
"Aww, thanks, Dai." Gao thanked as he gave a thumb up, "I owe ya one, you're a lifesaver."
"Aww, don't mention it. Get up or you'll have no energy to fight." Dai said as he started to laugh.
"Once the players finished the Ocean Fighter's feast, the match will begin." Asmodai announced.
"I'm on the edge of my seat, yo!" Tetsuya said.
Later, at the tournament fighting stage.
"Finally! Finally! Finally! It's here! The Final Round of the Buddy Masters! The World Buddy Masters invited one Buddyfighter from each World! They were divided into two groups of 6 players and the best fighter in each group that advances to the finals! The remaining two are Dragon World and Star Dragon World! As you expect stadium is in the state of feverish excitement! And now it's time for the fighters to make their entrance!" Paruko announced as Gao and Batzz ascended, "The winner of Group A is Dragon World's Representative, Gao Mikado and his Buddy, Demon Lord Dragon, Batzz!" Then Kanata and Athora ascended up too, "Facing them is Group B's winner, Star Dragon World's Kanata Ozora! And his Buddy, Quintessence Crystal Dragon, Athora!"
At Dragon World...
"The question is, will Gao continue his current winning streak or will it be the amazing No-Damage Fighter, Kanata Ozora claim the title instead?" Paruko announced as she was transported to Dragon World, "Warp Successful! Hi all! I'm now in Dragon World!" She then looked at the elders, "Aww, it seems like they're still a migratory here who are opposed to Batzz. But don't fret now!" Then the other monsters are cheering for Batzz.
"Batzz! Batzz! Batzz!" They all cheered.
"The younger generations is making it clear and they want to win! Good to see he has fans in his home world! Okay! Let's check out Star Dragon World! Warp!" Paruko then transported herself to Star Dragon World.
At Star Dragon World. Paruko transported as she sees the monsters are still cheering for Kanata with his No-Damage Win.
"No-Damage Win! No-Damage Win!' They cheered.
"Here in Star Dragon World, the now familiar chance of No Damage are ringing all over and supporting Kanata Ozora!" Paruko announced while holding the sign for No-Damage in initials.
Then she transported back to the stage.
"Back in the World Buddy Masters, we are left with a few big questions before the final match! Will Kanata be able to finish the tournament with no damage taken? Or will Gao finally put an end to the No-Damage legend?" Paruko announced, "And this, who will be the World Number One?! Well?! Fighters, luminize your decks so we can all find out!"
"Now, rise before me! The almighty dragon of them all! Luminize! Demon Lord Dragon of Tempest!"
"Finishing kick with the azure fields! Long shot! Luminize! Dragon's Fielder!"
"At long last, the World Buddy Masters Final Match begins!" Paruko announced, "Buddyfight!"
"Raise the Flag!"
"I'm with Dragon World!"
"I'm with Star Dragon World!"
(G: 10/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/None)
(K: 10/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/None)
"I've never been so excited. The fight to decide the World Number One starts now!" Paruko announced excitedly.
The crowd cheered for the final match.
"I have the first move." Kanata declared, "I Charge and... I Draw! We'll go full power right away, Athora!" He said to his Buddy.
"I'll follow your lead, Kanata!" Athora said.
"I Buddycall Quintessence Crystal Dragon, Athora!" He Buddycalled as he paid 3 gauge and regained one life.
"Leave it to me!" Athora jumps as he transforms to his true form.
"Whoa! With the first move, Kanata calls his Buddy to the center! And I tell ya, no matter how many times you see him, he's one beautiful dragon!"
"Athora! Attack the fighter!"
"Alright. A predicative strike!" Athora flies up as he goes to strike Gao, "Crystal Horn!" He strikes at Gao, inflicting 2 damage."
"Why is Athora so soon, yo?" Tetsuya wondered.
"No better way to defend his center." Zanya explained.
"Gao needs to take him down or else!" Noboru said.
"But Athora's effect stops him from being destroyed or taking any damage." Baku explained.
"A good strategy." Kuguru said.
"Will Gao be able to counteract that strategy?" Haruka asked.
"Don't worry. Knowing Gao, I'm sure he'll be fine." Dai said.
"Draw! Okay, I Charge and Draw! I equip! Demon Lord Sword, Dragoroyale!" He paid 1 life as he equipped a new broadsword that has a head like batzz with the blade and red fur, including the handle, "Bombardier, Cylinder to the left!" He calls out a bronze dragon with huge cylinder cannons on its back, he has two huge bronze gauntlets, two horns on its head, blue lightbulbs on its shoulders and between the mouth. It has a breastplate and an yellow armlet on its left arm with an X on it, "All-Rounder Warrior, Tetra to the right!" He calls out Tetra, "Athora has a really high defense. So a single monster has enough power to break through it!" Gao strategized, "In that case... Everybody do a Link Attack on Athora!" He ordered all his monsters to join together as they go to attack Athora. Cylinder Dragon used his cannons as he fires at Athora. Then Tetra used his sword as he and Gao slashed Athora together along with Cylinder's attack, destroying Athora at once.
"Soulguard!" Kanata said as Athora has been revived due to Soulguard.
"I won't let you lay a finger on Kanata!" Athora said.
"Athora revives and defends the center once again. He truly is a steel wall of defense!" Paruko announced.
"Athora has one soul card remaining." Zanya informed, "It'll be difficult to defeat him like this."
"I know. Kanata must have the defense spells." Noboru assumed.
"Ha! Gao's already taken that to a count, you guys!" Dai said for expectations, "Come on, Gao! The festival's just getting started!" He said while banging the drums.
"Okay, Athora. It's time! Let's show everybody just how strong we really are!" Kanata said with confidence in his words.
"I thought you never asked." Athora said in agreement.
"I cast! Enhancement!" He cast, "Gauge up by 1 and draw a card!" He gained a gauge and drew a card, "From left and right, I call White Crystal Dragon, Rizzling!" He call both Rizzling at the either sides of the stage, "Due to Rizzlings' effect, I can draw 2 cards!" He drew two cards due to the effects.
"He replenished his hand cards!" Kuguru said.
"They must be more defensive spells!" Haruka assumed.
"This is a bad sign, bro!" Baku said.
"Finally, a real challenge. A chance to test myself and give it my all! Behold! I equip Crystal Spikes!" He paid one gauge to equip his item, "It's kickoff time! So are you ready?" He asked.
"I was born ready, Kanata! I moved Tetra to the center!" Gao said as Tetra has been moved to the center.
'It's the same as before.' Kanata thinks as he recalled when he challenged Gao for the soccer match, 'When I lost that soccer shoot at him. I was excited as them than I am now! For the first time in my life, I felt like I wanna give it everything I had! This Buddyfight with you means more to me because I have to work hard at it, Gao.' He thinks, "Athora! Attack Tetra in the center!"
"As you wish!" Athora said as he makes his attack with his horn as he impaled Tetra, "Crystal Horn!" He destroyed Tetra.
"Athora! Double Attack on the Fighter!" Athora strikes at Gao, inflicting 2 damage.
"Athora's attacks have broken through and dealt 2 damage to the fighter! Is there nothing that Gao can do to stop the mighty Athora?!" Paruko announced.
"Still my turn! White Crystal Dragon, Rizzling on the right and left, attack the fighter!" Both Rizzlings flies up as they are going to attack Gao. Slashing him with their wings, Gao was dealt with 1 damage for each Rizzling, equaling to 2 damage, "My turn's now over." He declared.
"Get up!" Batzz demanded when he sees Gao kneeling after taking damage.
"Yeah. I will!" Gao stands up, "That really stung, Kanata. But from here on out... It's my turn!" He pull the lever as it turned sideways, "Draw! Charge and Draw!"
"No matter what cards you draw, I will protect my Kanata!" Athora swore.
"I Buddycall Demon Lord Dragon, Batzz to the right!" He paid 1 gauge as he Buddycalled and regained one life.
"There's no monster alive I cannot defeat!" Batzz jumps as he transforms to his true form. He roared as the platform on the right closed and Batzz landed on it.
"There he is! The Destroyer Dragon from Dragon World... uh, I mean Demon Lord Dragon, Batzz is on the stage!" Paruko announced.
"Gao!" Gao heard Chibi Panda's voice.
"Huh?"
"I've been waiting in your deck for such a long time!" He complained.
"Kinda in a middle of something." Gao explained.
"Are you forgetting something? I wanna fight too! When will you call me?!"
"Oh. Uh..." Gao tried to think and explained, "Right." Then ChibI Panda screamed as Batzz's lightning surges.
"Come on, kid! Stop stalling!" Batzz complained.
"Sorry. Let's promise to defeat Athora!" Gao said.
"As long as I'm here. That's easily done, kid." Batzz agreed.
"Demon Lord Dragon, Batzz, attack Athora!" Then Batzz jumps as he used his gauntlet to attack Athora. He grabbed him as he holds him down.
"The Greatest Most Powerful isn't you... It is me!" He yelled as he punched on Athora's head, destroying him.
"Revive with Soulguard!" Athora has been revived due to Soulguard.
"I will not be defeated!" Athora said.
"You're making my hind scales boil!" Batzz said as Kanata's Core Gadget glowed.
"Activate Crystal Spikes' ability!" He kicks the ball as he shoots at Gao. The ball hits at Gao, inflicting one damage.
"Come on!" Gao said, "Batzz! Attack Athora one more time!
"Ugh. I'll finish that rainbow for good!"
"Hold on! I cast! Brush Upper!" He cast as Batzz's attack was nullified, "Athora stays on the field and my gauge increases by 1!" He gains a gauge.
"What a dirty trick!" Batzz complained as Gao grunted in frustration.
"He kept Athora alive, increased his gauge and still has four cards in his hand, bro!" Baku said, "Guess they don't call him the 'No-Damage Fighter' for nothing."
"This is no time for a man crush!" Kuguru said.
"Yeah! Gao's getting himself in a situation against the No-Damage Fighter!" Haruka said.
"Um, sorry, Haruka. But you're not helping." Kuguru said.
"Huh?"
"Gao will never be able to destroy Athora like this!" Noboru said.
"Sure he will." Zanya said as he tipped his glasses, "Don't forget, Baku built an extremely aggressive attack deck!" He recalled.
"Kay, Batzz! Attack Athora one more time!"
"I cast! Brush Upper!" Kanata cast another defense spell as Batzz tries to attack but failed.
"I will protect my Kanata!" Athora said as Kanata gained a gauge.
"Well, you can try!" Batzz said.
"Seems you used up Batzz's Triple Attack, Gao. With the monsters you have left, you can't defeat Athora. Thanks to Crystal Spikes' effect, He has now 9000 defense!" Then Gao smirked.
"You sound pretty sure." Gao said, "The real fight begins now!" He then got himself charged with lightning, "I'll defeat Athora with my Demon Lord Sword, Dragoroyale! When Batzz is here on my field, it gains 6000 power! Reaching 9000!" He explained his item's effect, "Meaning it can break through Athora's 9000 defense!"
"Really?!" Athora asked as he was surprised.
"Dragoroyale also gains Double Attack, bro!" Baku explained.
"You can do it, Gao!" Noboru said.
"Go! Go!" Haruka cheered.
"Take this!" Gao comes running as he slashed Athora with Dragoroyale as he destroyed him at once.
"Gao succeeded in destroying Athora! It finally clears the center!" Paruko announced.
"A Double Attack!" Gao used his Double Attack on Kanata as he was finally got inflicted with 2 damage, "No damage, huh?!" The group got excited as Gao finally dealt damage to Kanata. Then the whole crowd were amazed as well.
"Unbelievable! The No-Damage Fighter, Kanata Ozora has taken damage for the first time!" Paruko announced.
"So this is what it feels like to take damage in a fight." Kanata said as he felt it.
"I'm sorry, Kanata." Athora apologized while he was in the Drop Zone, "I was unable to protect you."
"What, no! I mean I am disappointed. But I'm also... really happy right now!"
At the Drop Zone...
"Poor guy... The Buddyfight is still going on." Athora said as he felt sorry for his Buddy, "But because he took damage. He can't use Cristiano Crystal Shoot this turn!"
"Alright! The center's open!" Zanya said.
"Gao finally gave Kanata some damage!" Haruka said.
"But Kanata still have 9 life left!" Noboru said.
"That doesn't matter at all, bro." Baku said, "Gao's Bombardier, Cylinder has also gained Double Attack!"
"An Attack Festival!" Dai said.
"A total of 7 attacks! Just as you planned, baku dear!" Kuguru said.
"That's right!" He nodded, "If Bombardier, Cylinder's attack land, Kanata will be downed to 5 life!" He explained, "Thunder Lance X-Tempest Buster wins it!"
"Cylinder! Go attack the fighter!" Gao commanded as Cylinder charged his cannons as he fires at Kanata.
"Activate Spinel Crystal Dragon, Spirytas from my hand!" He paid 2 gauge to activate the effect.
"What the?!" Gao was surprised.
"What is he up to, bro?!" Baku asked as he was surprised.
"Spinel Crystal Dragon, Spirytas to center!" He calls out a futuristic purple dragon, with neon green horns on the wings and on the back, grey horns and breastplate, he has a laser cannon on its head. He then attacks Gao, "His effect, he deals 2 damage!" Gao was inflicted with 2 damage due to the effect.
"Gao got hit again!" Haruka said.
"And he's down to just 1 life?!" Kuguru asked so surprisingly.
"What's his deal?!" Noboru asked.
"During my opponent's turn, Spinel Crystal Dragon, Spirytas can take an opponent's attack and can deal 2 damage!" Kanata explained, "And he can also Counterattack!"
"Counterattack?!" Gao asked as he was surprised.
"This is so much fun, Gao! Counterattack the Cylinder!" Spirytas used its laser cannon as it hits Cylinder, destroying him instantly.
"Cylinder!" Gao yelled.
"Wow! What a dramatic turn of events! It looked like Gao was destined for victory!" Paruko announced, "But the surprising hand card used by Kanata has Gao backed to the wall!"
"Wasn't Gao supposed to use the X-Tempest Buster, yo?!" Tetsuya asked as Asmodai was in dazed for thinking, "Speak to me!" He yelled to his Buddy to see if he can respond.
"Hm..." Asmodai thinks.
"Forget about Gao's Impact. He wasn't able to lower Kanata's life!" Zanya said as he tipped his glasses, "And his own is down to 1."
"It's a life-or-death situation. Nothing he can do." Asmodai said, "But one thing is clear," He smiled, "Kanata was one step ahead."
"You always say 'you never know what'll happen in a Buddyfight'." Kanata quoted as Gao was surprised, "I didn't believe it until now. Even though you just have one life, I won't give up until it's over!" He swore as Gao smirked.
"Me neither." Gao agreed.
"Come on, kid!" Batzz said while surging.
"My turn is over." Gao declared.
"Gao regretfully has to end his turn! And Kanata's up next! His victory seems inevitable!" Paruko announced.
Spotlight shown as Daisuke and Ryuusei appears on stage.
"Welcome back to more Corner Time!" Daisuke said.
"For this chapter, we are showing one card!" Ryuusei said.
"We like to thank all those to support our story with their ideas. You guys are the best! Now, for the card! Presenting now!" He snapped his finger as the card revealed itself. It shows a slim, bipedal female dragon with light blue scales, red eyes of a falcon, long blonde hair tied in a ponytail mechanical arms and claws and sky blue wings made out of light. Her attire is a silver armor for her chest and legs with a blue star gem on her forehead, "This is a Cosmic monster called Cosmic Archer, Estrela. She is a size 0 monster with 3000 power and defense and a critical of 1. When this card destroys a monster on the opponent's field, it can deal 1 damage to the opponent. Perfect move, huh?"
"Yeah, it is." Ryuusei nodded in agreement.
"The next chapter will be the part of the final match for Gao and Kanata. Who will be the one to receive the title of World Number One? Give me a review of what you think and provide with more ideas. Thank BlasterDragonoid and GreeD109 and jdkeller for the ideas. Til then bye for now!" They waved goodbye as the screen faded black.
