Chapter 19: Possession Time! Tasuku-Gao!
The next day, at Aibo Academy, Shido was in the Student Council Room with Gallows as he was sighed for disappointment.
"The World Buddy Masters ended two days ago." Shido said sadly, "It's bad enough that Mikado became World Number One but he, Kanata, and Gaito are more popular than ever, it's so annoying." Then he gets frustrated, "I, Magoroku Shido, the Student Council President and the one who should be idolized by the students, not those posers!" He yelled.
"Sh-Sh-Surely you realize that you never been popular, see? Remember, yesterday?" Gallows recalled the time at Aibo Academy yesterday.
Yesterday, at the school building. Shido was giving a presentation to the students at Aibo Academy.
"So, to make things untouched classier around here. I've designed these cool news uniforms, which will mandatory issued by next week." Shido announced as he demonstrated the uniforms. The male uniform is Shido's design but in purple color. And the female uniform is similar to Shido's but more feminine, pink, and has a red skirt. The students started to complain as it shocked Shido, "Don't love them?" He asked nervously.
"I just don't know what to do!" Shido said as he starts to cry.
"Pull yourself together, you sniveling imp!" Gallows said as he transforms to his true form. His new form is that he wears a green noble suit with yellow lining. He has multiple purple claws, "Don't forget, you have the great Bone Master, Rebel Gallows by your side."
"You're a genius! I'll use your power to make them pay!" Shido snickered for his devious plan to work.
At the Buddy Police HQ...
"Last night, the kid's mother found us out. And so, now we've come to you." Batzz said.
"How's Gao? He okay?" Noboru asked.
"We were worried when we heard the Buddy Police came and carried him away." Kuguru said.
"Yeah, bro." Baku said.
"But Gao... he's look different now." Haruka said as Gao was still in his condition.
"Gao's mom wanted to check him out, just in case. So she called the Buddy Police." Chibi Panda explained.
"They examined him. They couldn't find a way to get Gao back to his normal state." Tasuku explained.
"Does that mean they can't help my brother either?" Haruka asked.
"I'm sorry, Haruka. I'm afraid not." Tasuku said as she started to sniffle then Kuguru hugged her for comfort.
"That can't be!" Noboru said.
"Well, I suspected as much. You nags should've left him to me!" Batzz said.
"Come on, Batzz! Are you saying that all of Tasuku's hardwork was for nothing?!" Ghost Gao asked.
"Your words." Batzz said.
"Gao said that all that hardwork was for nothing!" Chibi Panda mistakenly quoted Gao's words. It surprised the group.
"Um, isn't that kinda rude?" Haruka asked.
"Hey! That's what I said at all, Chibi!" Ghost Gao complained.
"Maybe we would've let Ryuuga helped out." Ghost Daisuke said.
"Yeah. I guess."
"But we did find something useful." Jack said to inform.
"It seems that Gao has a surprisingly ability to possess humans." Tasuku informed as it surprised the group.
"I can do what now?" Ghost Gao asked.
"Not only that Daisuke seems to acquired that ability as well." Tasuku said.
"Me too?" Ghost Daisuke asked as he pointed himself.
"Possess?" Batzz asked, "Just what does that mean?"
"You mean you don't know?" Chibi Panda asked as he explains, "It's what a ghost takes over and starts controlling someone's body!"
"Well if Gao and Daisuke can really take over someone else's body..." Kuguru said.
"That means they can possess their own body and return their dragonicifed and crystallized selves to normal." Baku deduced.
"And then they'll be saved! Yay!" Haruka said happily.
"Oh yeah! Let's give it a try!" Ghost Gao said, "I'll go first!" He recommended himself.
"Sure." Ghost Daisuke nodded, "Good luck." He wishes.
"Thanks!" Ghost Gao thanked as he went into his own body. Gao is trying to open his eyes as everyone is noticing that it's working. But then Gao's body repelled Ghost Gao out as Ghost Gao went into Noboru's body.
"Oh no, man!" Noboru said as he looked himself at the window's reflection and pulled his cheek.
"Wh-What just happened?" Haruka asked.
"I... don't know." Kuguru said.
"Hang on, bro. Are you Gao?!" Baku asked as he recognized that tone.
"Yeah. When I got bounced out of my body, I must've landed in here." Noboru-Gao explained.
"Weird rebound effect. Good thing I didn't go first." Ghost Daisuke said as he chuckled nervously.
"Listen up, Kitten Shirt!" Chibi Panda said as he raised his sword at Noboru-Gao.
"Huh? What's wrong, Chibi Panda?" Noboru-Gao asked as he got confused.
"He didn't yelled back ,'It's a tiger'!" Kuguru said as she realized the evidence.
"It really is Gao!" Haruka said.
"That's proof that Gao possessed him." Chibi Panda said.
"But doesn't that mean that my brother..." Haruka said.
"No, Gao went first. Since I saw the result, there's no need." Ghost Daisuke said.
"So he said." Ryuuga said as he explained what Daisuke said.
"It looks like Gao is the only one who did the possess." Tasuku said.
"Hey, bro! Do me now!" Baku volunteered to be possessed, "I just gotta see what it feels like!"
"Feel?" Ghost Daisuke asked.
"No prob! One possession! Coming up!" Noboru-Gao said as Ghost Gao came out of Noboru's Body as he transferred himself to Baku's Body. Then Gao has controlled of Baku's body.
"What? Is something wrong?" Chibi Panda asked.
"This body is way more comfortable than Noboru!" Baku-Gao said as he felt Baku's Body.
"Whatever, Mikado!" Noboru said sarcastically and Baku-Gao snickered.
"So. Can you tell us how you felt when you were possessed by Gao?" Kuguru asked Noboru while Baku-Gao looked around Baku's body.
"It was kinda weird, you know. It felt like half of me was asleep and the other half was kinda joined together with Gao." Noboru explained, "Like we were one person." Tasuku then thought of something.
"There you are, Tasuku sir!" Ku said as she came by and saluted, "What's happening here? Is it top secret?" She asked.
"S'up, Ku? How's the training going?" Baku asked.
"Huh?" Ku was confused of why Baku act like that.
"We'll explain everything to you later." Tasuku said.
"'We'? Oh yeah! Daisuke's with you!" Ku realized.
"Indeed." Tasuku nodded.
"So what brings you here, Ku?" Jack asked as Ku nodded.
"If the two of you don't hightail it out of here, you'll be late for sure." Ku informed. Tasuku thinks as he remembered something.
"Oh right. I almost forgot!" Tasuku said.
At Aibo Academy Fighting Stage, a stage was set up with the sign said, 'Buddyfight Etiquette Lessons.' Everyone was there for Tasuku to show up and Ku was on stage along with Gao's Buddy and Chibi Panda on stage.
"I'm Officer Ku of the Buddy Police! And it's my pleasure to be here with you! Today, Buddy Police Officers, myself included, will be teaching you proper etiquette at Buddyfight Tournaments, let us begin!" Ku announced.
"Remind me how we got sucked into this thing again?" Batzz said.
"To earn more Miracle Life points, of course!" Chibi Panda explained as Batzz grunted. Behind the stage, Tasuku is with Ghost Gao and Ghost Daisuke, including Gaito, Minako, Kanata and their Buddies are here with them.
"Are you ready?" Ghost Gao asked Gaito.
"Go for it." Gaito said with no hesitations.
"Be careful." Minako said.
"I'll be fine." Gaito said.
"Kay!" Ghost Gao swoop in as he went into Gaito's Body.
"Tell me, did it work?" Abygale asked to be sure.
"All good! Possession is complete!" Gaito-Gao said with a thumb up, "But man, my head feels heavy." He feels Gaito's hair, "This is way too much hair." Abygale sweatdropped.
"Strange. He may look and sound like Gaito, but he doesn't act like him at all." Abygale said.
"Yeah. I get what you mean. No way, Gaito can have that kind of attitude like that." Minako said.
"Hang on!" Gaito-Gao thought of an idea, "My last octopus dumpling was... destiny-lishes." He speaks in a deep tone, "How's that?"
"You failed to grasp the Gaitoness."
"Okay! How about this?" Gaito-Gao said as he walks to Minako.
"Huh? What are you gonna do?" Minako asked.
"It is your destiny to be my girlfriend, Minako. What do you think?" Gaito-Gao asked as Minako punched him on the head as he was on the ground. Everyone got surprised.
"Sorry about that." Minako apologized as she cleaned her hand with a handkerchief, "But it makes me angry that the real Gaito would never said those words."
"So... you prefer Gaito to say those words someday?" Kanata asked.
"Yeah. But anyways, I'll apologize to Gaito later after Gao gets out of his body." She said.
"Man, why does Gaito's girlfriend have to be this scary?" Gaito-Gao asked.
"But the way you possess him, Gao. It looks like fun!" Kanata said.
"It's a blast! Okay, it's your turn! You can pick me or Daisuke to possess you!" Gaito-Gao said.
"I want you to possess me, Gao!" Kanata recommended.
"Hehehe, figures he said that." Ghost Daisuke said.
"You got it!" Gaito-Gao said as Athora got suprised and Ghost Gao transferred himself to Kanata.
"Kanata?" Athora asked.
"Oh! Sorry! Can you pass the ball back to me?!" The female soccer player requested as the soccerball was heading towards them.
"No prob! Here it comes!" Kanata-Gao said as he comes towards the ball.
"I have a bad feeling about this." Gaito said as he expects something to happen.
"You and me both, Gaito." Minako said.
"Gao's in there after all." Abygale said.
"Heads up!" Kanata-Gao kicks the ball as it was heading towards the goal. But then all of the sudden, the ball hits above the goal as it bounces around and hits back at Kanata-Gao's face.
"Another rebound effect. As expected." Ghost Daisuke said.
"That was just horrible." Athora said after seeing the results, "I know that Gao's taking over his body, but... seeing him so bad at soccer." Then after Kanata-Gao felt the bad, Ghost Gao came out of Kanata's Body.
"Kanata, are you okay?" Gaito asked as he checked on him.
"Did that hurt?" Minako asked.
"That was the most interesting experience." Kanata said like he never felt it before.
"Wow, even with the soccer hitting his face, he shows no pain at all." Minako said.
"What can I say? I may not be the No-Damage Fighter anymore, but you know what they say, no pain, no gain." Kanata said.
"Did you share your consciences with Gao too?" Gaito asked.
"I did! It's almost like we're on the same wavelength!" Kanata said.
"Same wavelength?" Tasuku asked as he thought of an idea, "Hey, Gao! Could you come and possess me next?" He recommended himself.
"Tasuku?" Ghost Daisuke asked.
"Sure, but I'm over here, Tasuku." Ghost Gao accepted but he was on the other side.
"I didn't think that was your style." Athora said.
"Why not have Daisuke possess you? He is your partner after all." Minako asked.
"Yeah, well. I have other reasons." Tasuku said.
"And those are?" Abygale asked.
"When Gao takes over my body, I may just find some clues that will help us return him back to normal. And then afterwards, Daisuke can possess me so I can help him out as well." Tasuku deduced a theory.
"Seriously?" Ghost Daisuke asked.
"I see." Jack said.
"That's brilliant!" Abygale said.
"Isn't it?" Athora asked.
"Better than nothing." Ryuuga said.
"Here I come, Tasuku!" Ghost Gao said as he went into Tasuku's body.
"Hey! I'm a Buddy Cop!" Tasuku-Gao said as he gave a thumb up.
"It's time to give your speech!" Chibi Panda said as he and Batzz came back from the announcement.
"You're done already?" Gaito asked.
"That was quick." Minako said.
"We better go." Kanata said as he, Gaito, and Minako, and Ghost Daisuke goes ahead.
"Kay, kid. Time to get out of Tasuku." Batzz said.
"Yeah. I know." Tasuku-Gao said as Gao tries to get out but all of sudden, it failed, "Uh... Well... That's weird."
"What's weird?" Batzz asked.
"I don't know why but... I'm stuck in here!" Tasuku-Gao said desperately.
"That's not good." Jack said.
"Daisuke! Can't you take me out from Tasuku's body?" Tasuku-Gao requested.
"I don't see why not." Ghost Daisuke said as he went into Tasuku's body to take Gao out. But then Daisuke got repelled as he was out of Tasuku's body.
"Daisuke! Are you okay?" Ryuuga asked.
"Yeah."
"What happened?" Batzz asked.
"I... I don't know. When I went into Tasuku's body, I felt a barrier or something and it was trying to push me out." Ghost Daisuke said.
"Maybe it doesn't allow two souls in one body." Tasuku-Gao said.
"So now what are we gonna do?" Batzz asked.
"Hurry! They're waiting for you!" Ku said as she came by and grabs his arm.
"We need a moment!" Batzz said.
"We don't have one!" Ku said impatiently as she drags Tasuku to the stage.
"But he's...!" Batzz said but Ku didn't listen.
"You got this, sir! Just remember your speech!" Ku advised.
At the stage, Tasuku, who was still possessed by Gao is going to make the speech. Unfortunately, he doesn't know what words he would say.
"S'up! Everybody! Are you all having a total blast playing Buddyfight?" Tasuku-Gao said as everyone, including Ku, got confused of Tasuku's personality.
"What's wrong, sir?! You don't seem like yourself, today!" Ku said as she got concerned after seeing Tasuku's act.
"No, I'm fine." Tasuku said as he rubbed the back of his head. And then all of the sudden, he heard screams as they saw Kanata and Gaito, fighting.
"What's wrong with you two?" Athora asked.
"I can't... really explain it!" Kanata said as he can't let go of Gaito.
"We can't control our bodies!" Gaito said.
"How can they be?" Abygale asked.
"Here! I'll help!" Minako said as she tries to break them up. But then she got pushed by them by controlled and fell to the ground.
"Minako!" Gaito said.
"Hey, Minako!" Tasuku-Gao checked on her, "You alright?" He asked.
"Yeah."
"Wait that's!" Batzz noticed some strings that were on them as he saw it leads to Rebel Gallows, who was floating above in the sky.
"Those poor fools are mere puppets that I manipulate to my every will." Gallows said.
"Stop this at once!" Athora demanded.
"Gaito! Calm down!" Abygale said.
"Gaito..." Minako said as she got concerned. But then Shido came by.
"Now, now. Fighting at school? That's detention worthy." Shido said as Tasuku-Gao, Minako, and Ku, and Ghost Daisuke got surprised.
"Shido!" Tasuku-Gao said.
"You two should be trying to set a good example for the other students, and yet you two just harmfully pushed a girl, I don't know what I should do with you." Shido said.
"But it's not their fault!" Athora tried to defend them.
"They're being controlled!" Abygale said.
"I didn't ask you to speak." Shido said, "And I'm not interested in excuses. As Student Council President, it's my job to keep order in this campus." Shido chuckled in his thoughts, 'Now their popularity will pummeled for sure.'
"Not so fast!" Tasuku-Gao yelled, "Eclipsing the darkness with flames. And brightening the hearts of the mistreated! The Mighty Sun Fighter is here!" He spoke the phrase, "Nice try, Shido! You gotta wake up pretty early to fool me, man!"
"Oh yeah? What are you talking about? Wait a second. Why are you talking like the Mighty Sun Fighter? Where's Mikado?" Shido asked as he got confused.
"Stop deflecting the real issue! I'm onto you, I see through the evil scheme, you're plotting!" Tasuku-Gao said.
"Wow." Ghost Daisuke chuckled, "He's getting good at this." He complimented, "Well, almost. If he hadn't stay in character." Shido nervously chuckled.
"Why? Whatever do you mean?" Shido asked.
"Don't play dumb! Your Buddy monster is the one causing this commotion, by manipulating Kanata and Gaito!" Jack explained.
"Yeah, that's right!" Chibi Panda said.
"He's a funny little panda!" Shido said as he chuckled, "He sound like he was on helium!"
"Least I don't dress like a clown!" Chibi Panda insulted.
"It's genuine military issue."
"For an 80s' Boy band."
"And you're so cute, I could eat you!"
"Silence! Or else I'll eat both of you!" Batzz yelled to end the argument.
"I have an idea." Shido pulled out his Core Deck, "If you're going to slain unfounded accusations, why don't we settle things with a Buddyfight?" He recommended.
"But you stink!" Tasuku-Gao complained.
"And you're not calling the shots, bud!" Ku complained.
"Yeah! No way he'll accept your stupid challenge!" Minako complained.
"Look, if you refuse to Buddyfight, then I'll blame you for all this commotion. And as punishment for it, I'll make you wear the uniforms that I design!" Shido explained the consequences as he imagines them, wearing the uniforms that Shido made, "And you'll be forced to model them so that everyone in the entire school can see you!"
"Seriously? Gaito in that uniform?" Minako said as she thinks, "Nope. Don't think so."
"On second thought, I guess... I accept!" Tasuku-Gao accepted without hesitations as the Buddy Monsters were surprised.
"So he rather battle Shido than wearing those ridiculous uniforms. Guess he's not exactly a coward." Ghost Daisuke said.
At the Buddyfight Stage Arena...
"Welcome to today's Buddyfight between Student Council President, Magoroku Shido and the amazing Tasuku Ryuenji!" Paruko announced.
"Now, rise before me! The almighty dragon of them all! Luminize! Demon Lord Dragon of Tempest!" Tasuku-Gao luminized but he used Gao's Core Gadget instead.
"Need defeated by your own power! Luminize! Succumb to a Marionette Death!"
"Buddyfight!"
"Time to Raise the Flag!"
"I'm with Darkness Dragon World."
"I'm with Dragon World!"
(T/G: 10/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/None)
(S: 10/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/None)
"What's going on down there? That is Tasuku but he's not flying his Star Dragon World Flag." Paruko said as she noticed something different with Tasuku, "And he's using Gao's Demon Lord Dragon of Tempest deck! And Gao's Buddy, Batzz! Where's Jack?!" She asked. Takosuke whispered to Paruko's ear as he explained to her, "What? Something happened to Gao?" She asked, "I can't believe it! Very shocking news just in, people! I don't have all the details yet. But believe it or not, Tasuku's currently possessed by Gao's ghost! So then, how should I do my commentary?" Paruko was getting confused about how to announce since Tasuku was possessed by Gao, "Is Gao in Tasuku? Or it's Tasuku in Gao?"
"A great form is Gao in Tasuku." Gallows recommended.
"Don't try and help them!" Shido complained, "Focus all your energies in my one in one thousand chance."
"Explain that one."
"If I win, it means I defeated both Tasuku and Gao, that will make me the most popular student for sure." Shido explained his plan.
"President Shido has first move!" Paruko announced.
"Charge and Draw! Call! Bone Labor, Sahb Raj to the center!" He calls out a female undead skeleton with light purple long hair, red mask, noble suit and puffy hat and has puppet strings, "Good, Sahb Raj! Go attack the fighter!" She attacked with the blades under her dress as it hits Tasuku-Gao, inflicting 1 damage, "That's decent warmup, my turn is now over."
"Boy." Kanata said with a disappointed tone.
"What's the matter?" Athora asked.
"I wanna cheer them on to victory but I don't know what to say, is it good luck, Gao or good luck, Tasuku." Kanata explained.
"Do we really need to discuss this right now?" Gaito asked.
"It doesn't matter anyway. Both of them are gonna beat Shido with all they got." Minako said.
"Come on, guys! Beat Shido!" Jack cheered.
"I think that answers your question." Abygale said.
"That's what we expect from Jack." Ryuuga said.
"Good luck you guys." Ghost Daisuke said.
"Now it's my turn! I Draw! Charge and Draw! I equip! Demon Lord Sword, Dragoroyale!" He paid one gauge and life to equip his item.
"Gao-in-Tasuku has equipped his great Dragoroyale! I'm still getting used to all this ghost in the Buddyfighter thing!" Paruko announced.
"I call Chibi Panda to the left!" He calls out Chibi Panda.
"Lemme at that weirdly dressed human!" Chibi Panda said.
"Buddycall Demon Lord Dragon, Batzz to the right!" He paid one gauge as he Buddycalled and regained one life.
"I'll settle this fight in one go!" Batzz jumped as he transforms to his true form and roars.
"Demon Lord Dragon, Batzz has graced at Aibo Academy Fighting Stage with his presence!" Paruko announced.
"Kay, Batzz! Go attack that Sahb Raj!" Tasuku-Gao said.
"Sadly for you, it won't be that easily. Activate Sahb Raj's ability! When one of your monsters attacks alone, I can choose to pay 2 gauge which redirect the attack to one of my opponent's own monster!" Shido paid 2 gauge as Sahb Raj used her ability as her strings were attached on Batzz.
"What's this?!" Batzz yelled as he was controlled and got his attack turned to Chibi Panda.
"Why are you coming back to attack me?!" Chibi Panda asked as he got surprised.
"My body is moving on its own!" Batzz said as he smashed Chibi Panda and destroyed him instantly.
"Big Boss!"
"Chibi Panda!" Tasuku-Gao said.
"Even the great and powerful Demon Lord Dragon is like putty in my hands." Shido said.
"Why you! Don't underestimate me!" Batzz said in frustration and makes his second attack, "So long, false ape!" He grabbed Sahb Raj with his gauntlet as he raise up and crushes her, thus destroys her. Then Tasuku-Gao swings his Dragoroyale at Shido, inflicting 2 damage.
"Gao-in-Tasuku uses Dragoroyale to deal 2 damage. Next up, President Shido's turn!" Paruko announced.
"I'll defeat you and everyone will know who's truly the greatest Buddyfighter in this school. Draw. Charge and Draw. I equip!" He paid 1 life to equipped his item, "DEATH Pen Schreiber!" He equipped a dark pen with a gold skull as a ball point, bone lining around it, and purple cap with gold lining. Shido removed the cap, "Now, monsters of DEATH, return to the field!" He used the pen as he drew a perfect circle, "I call Sahb Raj to the left!" He brings back Sahb Raj as she returns to the left.
"What?!" Batzz got surprised.
"What gives, man?! Batzz just defeated that monster!" Tasuku-Gao said.
"See this item? DEATH Pen Schreiber. Allows me to call 1 0 power DEATH Attribute monster from the Drop Zone. I call Bone Labor, Au Darkth to the center position!" He calls out a horse skeleton monster but with no legs and the skeleton is jagged, it wears a jester outfit and has the same weapon as Sahb Raj has, "And I Buddycall Bone Master, Rebel Gallows to the right!" He Buddycalled as he regained one life.
Gallows chuckled, "Wait til you see my new power." He jumped as he transforms to his true form, "So did I make a stylish events?" He asked.
"Who cares about being stylish?! Sahb Raj! Go attack the fighter!" Sahb Raj attacks Tasuku-Gao, inflicting one damage, "Activate Au Darkth's ability. Control Demon Lord Dragon, Batzz on the right and make him attack my opponent directly!" Au Darkth used his strings as it took control of Batzz, which made him go towards Tasuku-Gao to attack.
"Hey, kid! Run fast!" Batzz issued a warning as Tasuku-Gao got scared.
"Run where?!" Tasuku-Gao yelled as he got attacked by his own monster, inflicting 2 damage.
"Activate Rebel Gallows's ability!" Shido said.
"Not again!" Tasuku-Gao said.
"Look alive, Batzz! You're about to be my Marionette of pain!" Gallows's eyes gleamed as his strings grabbed Batzz, controlling him again.
"Enough is enough!" Batzz attacks his Buddy again, inflicting another 2 damage.
"Now for Rebel Gallows's other ability. If I pay one gauge, he's able to take action once more during my turn. Meaning that he can control Batzz again!" Shido explained as he paid the gauge to Gallows, "Rebel Gallows's ability activate!" Gallows's eyes gleamed again for his ability as he controls Batzz again. Batzz struck at his Buddy again, inflicting 2 more damage.
"Unbelievable! Gao-in-Tasuku is being cut to pieces by his own Buddy, Batzz!"
"Madness!" Jack said.
"To think that Batzz..." Abygale said.
"Could be controlled like that?" Athora asked.
"This is a situation where it can't be avoided." Ryuuga said.
"Who could have predicted that this would be such a one-sided Buddyfight?" Paruko announced, "Gao-in-Tasuku has just two life points left but now it's his turn!"
"Here I go!" Tasuku pulled the lever as it turned sideways, "Let's do this! Draw! Charge and Draw!" He drew the Impact Card.
"Don't bother. My victory's unquestionable." Shido said as he spins his pen with his fingers.
"You never know how the match will go til the end!" Tasuku-Gao said, "I call Raid Officer, Delta to the left!" He calls out Delta, "Delta! You'll attack Au Darkth in the center!" Delta jumps up as he makes his attack against Au Darkth.
"I cast! Devil's Stigma!" Shido cast as the bladed weapon attacks Au Darkth as it got destroyed in the process.
"Whoa! President Shido uses his counterspell to destroy his own monster! But he increased his gauge and life!" Paruko announced as Shido gained 2 gauge and regained one life.
"Kay, Batzz! Attack the fighter!" Tasuku-Gao commanded.
"It's no use! Activate Sahb Raj's ability! Control Batzz once again!" Shido paid one gauge as Sahb Raj used her ability to control Batzz and destroyed Raid Officer, Delta, "This is happy smirk, my victory is close at hand."
"Shido! Look in front of you!" Gallows said as Shido gasped, seeing Batzz is still attacking, after being free from the control.
"You got some nerve!" Batzz makes his revenge attack.
"I cast! Black Dragon Shield!" He cast as he regained one life.
"Not done yet!" Batzz said as Shido gasped and Batzz makes his third attack, "Do not underestimate me!" He struck Shido, inflicting 2 damage.
"Why me?!" Shido yelled, 'As long as I don't fall below 5 life, he can't use his X-Tempest Buster' He thinks. Then Tasuku-Gao slashed Shido with Dragoroyale, inflicting 2 damage.
"Hoping to set up his Impact, Gao-in-Tasuku keeps chipping away feverishly at his opponent's life points." Paruko announced.
"Now, a Double Attack!" Tasuku-Gao attacks again.
"I cast Midnight Shadow!" Shido cast as he created illusions of himself, evading the attack, "I have six life points, which means you can't use your savior, the X-Tempest Buster."
"I love to shut that smart mouth. Hey, kid! Isn't there anything we can do?" Batzz asked.
"Of course! Leave it to me!" Tasuku-Gao said with confidence as Shido got surprised and Gallows got nervous.
"I've got goosebumps." Gallows said.
"I cast! Military Tactics, 'Two-Stage Plan'!" Tasuku-Gao cast as Batzz glows in golden aura.
"What a rabbit out of a hat! Waiting til the last second to play a card like that?! Due to its effect, Batzz is now able to attack again!" Paruko announced.
"My life is reduced! Then I'll be hit with the X-Tempest Buster!" Shido said as he got shockingly surprised for the outcome.
"Now, Buddy! Unload on the fighter!" Tasuku-Gao commanded as Batzz makes his fourth attack again.
"Hang on! I call a time-out!" Shido begged but it was too late, Batzz strikes at Shido, inflicting 2 damage.
"Oh wow! President Shido's down to 4 life points! So it's X-Tempest Buster time!" Paruko announced. Tasuku put his foot down as the ground breaks.
"Final Phase!" Tasuku-Gao declared. But then all of the sudden, Tasuku transforms into Gao in his place.
"Wait! That's Gao Mikado! What in the world is going on?!" Paruko announced as she saw Gao.
"Hey, kid!" Batzz said.
"That explains it." Jack said.
"How so?" Abygale asked.
"Until now, I couldn't figure out. The reason why Gao was unable to leave Tasuku's body." Jack said.
"And what would that be?" Minako asked.
"Why does this always happened to me?!" Shido asked as he cried.
"Looks like you're going to lose, Shis! The smartest thing to do now is tuck tale and run!" Gallows advised.
"I almost got popular!" Shido cried.
"As close friends and friendly rivals, Tasuku and Gao shared a very special bond. That was why Gao couldn't leave his body. But during the Buddyfight, Tasuku's feeling became heightened, until he and Gao became one in body and soul. He supports his friend, which is why we can now see Gao!" Jack explained as Batzz jumps up and transforms into a Thunder Lance. The lance descends as Gao grabs it and the darkness shrouds on him completely. The sun appears on Gao's back as it breaks half of his armor. He jumps up.
"I cast!" He jumps on the lance as he runs towards it. He grabs the tip as he spins up and then throws it, "Impact!" He dashes down, "Thunder Lance! X-Tempest Buster!" He hits the Thunder Lance as the X flames the Earth and the fire geyser gushes out of the X.
(T/G: 2/ Item: Dragoroyale/ G: 0: None/None/Batzz)
(S: 0/ Item: Schreiber/ G: 2: Gallows/None/None)
"Gao's Impact, the Thunder Lance X-Tempest Buster decimates President Shido! Game End! Winner: Gao Mikado!" Paruko announced as the crowd cheered for Gao's victory. However, in the clear of smoke, it was revealed that Gao turned back to Tasuku.
"Yes! Was a team effort!" Tasuku-Gao said.
"Will somebody tell me what's going on?!" Paruko asked as she was getting confused, "Now Gao's gone and then Tasuku's there!"
"I think I can get out now!" Tasuku-Gao said.
"So then do it." Batzz said as Ghost Gao finally got out of Tasuku's body.
"Oh yeah!" Ghost Gao said with relief as Tasuku was about to fall but then Batzz managed to help him.
"Gotcha!"
"Is he okay?" Ghost Gao asked as Batzz laid him down on the floor.
"My mighty powerful hit to him after all." Batzz said as Tasuku opened his eyes.
"I'm so sorry. Hang on, pal!" Ghost Gao apologized.
"I'm fine. And I can finally see you." Tasuku said as his eyes saw Gao.
Later, at the Buddy Police HQ. Everyone is at the room where Gao's body is at.
"We're really sorry, Gao." Tasuku apologized, "We weren't able to find any clues of how to return you to normal."
"We've done all we can. But no luck." Ghost Daisuke said.
"But there actually is some good news in all of this." Kuguru said, "Shido cancelled his new uniforms after losing the fight."
"Too bad, I kinda liked it a little." Kanata said.
"Tell me he didn't just say that." Gaito said with a disgusted look on his face.
"Why not? I mean, you would've look cool, wearing that uniform." Minako said.
"See? Even your girlfriend said so." Kanata said.
"She's not my girlfriend!" Gaito yelled.
"But didn't you confess to her?" He asked.
"That was Gao, pulling a prank! That's not the real me!" He yelled. Ghost Gao chuckled.
"Guess we can thank Tasuku, Daisuke and Batzz for that." Ghost Gao said as his miracle life has risen to 10, "Huh?!" Ghost Gao got surprised.
"The kid's Miracle Life points!" Batzz said.
"They went all the way up to 10!" Chibi Panda said as they were amazed as Gao's body is glowing.
"Look at Gao!" Haruka said, "He's glowing!"
"That means it's working!" Kuguru said.
"He's going back to normal!" Noboru said.
"That weird old dude is for real!" Baku said, "But what about Daisuke's body?" He asked.
"We'll make sure that he gets enough Miracle Life to get his body." Tasuku said.
"Don't worry. I'll get my body before it gets crystallized completely." Ghost Daisuke said as Tasuku nodded.
"Thanks a lot, guys! Cause of your hard work, I'll be okay! And then we'll help Daisuke afterwards!" Ghost Gao said as he cried, "Hey, Batzz!"
"What now?" Batzz said as he rubbed his nose, "Hurry up so we can go eat."
"I owe you one, Buddy." Ghost Gao said happily, "You're the best!" He complimented.
"Ha. It was nothing. What is it that you kids say? It's just how I roll? But hey, I uh... I am double expressing my emotions!" Batzz yelled as he transforms to his true form instantly. Because of that, he exploded the lab.
"Big Boss! You must control your power!" Chibi Panda said as Batzz reverted back to his small form. Everyone got covered in soot but the two Ghost weren't dirtied. Then all of the sudden, Gao's body stopped glowing as it faded.
"Kid?! Why aren't you back to normal?!" Batzz asked. Ghost Gao noticed his Miracle Life has reverted back to 0.
"What happened?!" Ghost Gao asked so surprisingly, "Zero?!"
"Because Batzz destroyed the Buddy Police Station." Jack said as he was coughing from the smoke.
"So the Miracle Life points have returned to 0." Tasuku said. Ghost Daisuke sighed.
"Oh well. Looks like you're going back to square one." He said.
"But that just leaves tomorrow until their time runs out." Gaito said.
"They doesn't have much time left." Minako said.
"We have to do it." Kanata said.
"Why did I ever leave Dragon World?" Chibi Panda asked as he struggle and then fell unconscious.
"What are we gonna do now, Batzz?!" Ghost Gao yelled.
"Whatever you do, just don't possess me!" Batzz said, "There has to been another way for this. But what?" He whispers as he looked at Ghost Daisuke and thought of something, "That's it.. This could work!" He said.
Spotlight have shown as Ghost Daisuke and Ryuusei appears on stage.
"Welcome back to more Corner Time!" Ghost Daisuke said.
"Today for this chapter, we are showing one card. But this time, it will be different." Ryuusei said.
"Of course. Because since we have no more cards for ourselves this time, we'll show you, one of our friends instead. Presenting now!" He snapped his finger, revealing the card. It shows Aria's next form as a member of the Thunder Empire. Her attire consists of dark blue gear goggles with gold tinted lens around her head, a light grey long sleeve v-neck with a yellow insignia of the Thunder Empire on the front of the shirt, a long navy blue vest to store her tools, tan brown cargo pants and black boot that transforms into roller skates with electric wheels. Her new weapon is a mechanical war mallet with a gold hammer head with rocket of the left side, a black pole with blue bandages wrapped around it, "This is Aria's newly evolved form. Overturn Mechanic Researcher, Aria. Size 2 Mechanic attribute with 7000 power, 4000 defense, and a critical of 2. The call cost is 1 gauge. This is Minako's Buddy monster. When this enters the field on the left or right, she can discard one card from her hand. If she does, then she'll add one item from the deck or drop zone into her hand. Also, she has the Overturn ability. By paying one gauge and put the top card of her deck to the Drop Zone during her turn, for this turn, choose an "Mechanical" item and give that card power +6000 or critical +2. And she has Double Attack."
"Amazing! She has evolved for once! What do you think she'll do with her?" Ryuusei asked.
"You'll see soon enough. Anyways, this chapter is done. The next one will be having me against Gao. Wanna know why? Find out in the next chapter. Give us a review of what you think and give us more good card ideas. Til then bye for now!" They waved goodbye as the screen faded black.
