Chapter 31: The Birth of Thunder Empire
"Last time on Buddyfight X! Just as Guru is putting the finishing touches on the second Mirage Card, that big Wisdom shows up with his powerful Buddy, Geargod! Those two have faced off in an epic Buddyfight! But the newly evolved Geargod VIII was too much even for Guru! We were able to keep the new Mirage Card safe but something terrible happened!" Chibi Panda started to cry, "We lost our friend, Guru!"
At Guru's house, everyone gathered around.
"Kiri and Asmodai were able to pry the gate open and tried to look for Guru and Giant Tanuki." Gao explained, "But they discovered that the Mirage Shrine has completely disappeared."
"I'm so sorry." Asmodai said.
"Guru knew something like this could happened when he created the new Mirage Card." Kanata said, "That's why he left it to you for protection."
"Guru..." Gao said sadly as he remembered the time before Guru was gone.
"Guru!" Gao said as he tries to go save him.
"Stay where you are!" Guru yelled, "Here!" He throws the new Mirage Card at Gao as he takes it, "Batzz! You must protect Gao!"
"Of course!" Batzz said as he transforms to his true form.
"But wait!" Gao yelled but Batzz takes him away immediately, "Batzz, no! Let go of me!"
"Athora! Get Guru!" Kanata said as Athora and Abygale transformed to their true forms.
"No, it's too dangerous!" Minako said.
"We can't save him!" Gaito said as they flew out.
"To vanish along with the Mirage Shrine is a dreadful destiny." Gaito said.
"I can't believe that he sacrifice himself like that. This is crazy!" Minako complained.
"But Guru made that difficult choice in order to protect the second Mirage Card." Abygale said.
"That Wisdom... I'll never forgive him!" Athora swore.
"Me either! It's not right! Guru was only hope for stopping Wisdom!" Noboru said. Then all of the sudden, Batzz in true form came by as he was carrying a huge boulder and placed it on the ground. Everyone was surprise of seeing this.
"What gives?" Gao asked after seeing this.
"Look at you, moping around in down of the dumps. That's not how to honor Guru!" Batzz said as he raised his weapon and began slashing the boulder. For the slashes he made, he began sculpting all of the sudden. Later on, everyone saw that Batzz finished sculpting a statue with a face of Guru with Tanuki next to him but the hair is triangles around instead of puffy and the kanji for friendship is on the statue.
"Whoa, look!" Kanata said.
"A statue of Guru and Giant Tanuki." Gaito said.
"It's not half bad." Minako complimented.
"We have a job to do. After that, there'll be time to warn them." Batzz said.
"Batzz is right, you guys." Zanya said as he agreed, "Let's focus on stopping Wisdom!"
"Nin!" Tsukikage opened his scroll, 'Memory'
"I just missed them so much." Gao said, "But my first priority should be protecting the Mirage Card from Wisdom. He can't get his hands on it."
Everyone gather around.
"The Mirage Card adapts to suit the person who obtains it, bro." Baku explained.
"That's how Wisdom was able to turn the other one into his Flag card, The CHAOS." Kuguru recalled the time.
A flash of light blinded them as Gao's Mirage card has disappeared.
"What the-?!" Gao said. Then the Mirage Card has flown to Wisdom's hand.
"This card was always fated to become mine. The Mirage Card adapts to the characteristics of the one who obtains it. Now I shall realize its full power!" Wisdom said as the Mirage Card transforms into a Flag Card, "Appropriately, it has become a Flag card. The CHAOS."
"Now it's your turn to change it, Gao. I'm sure you'll turn it into something amazing!" Chibi Panda said as he was excited.
"Yeah." Gao agreed as he turned to his Buddy, "Let's do this, Batzz!"
"Hm?" Batzz asked.
"You must do it together! That's what Guru would say if he were here." Gao said as Batzz smirked.
"I suppose he would." Batzz said as he walked towards Gao with the new Mirage Card. Both looked at each other as they nodded for their preparations to be made. Together, they touched the Mirage Card as it began to shine, breaking the panel like what happened when Wisdom got it. They were amazed as Batzz quickly grabbed it.
"Hey! Get back here!" Batzz said as the card lifts him up.
"Hang on, pal!" Gao said.
"Big Boss!" Chibi Panda yelled as he glowed along with the card as they flew into the sky and began splitting multiple lights across the universe. The light spreads out to various parallel worlds, shining around the worlds. Then all of the sudden, Chibi Panda started to glow.
"Oh, what's happening?!" Chibi Panda asked as Athora and Abygale are glowing too.
"You alright?" Gaito asked.
"Athora?" Kanata asked.
"El Quixote..." Noboru pulled out his Buddy as the card started to glow.
"Duel Jaeger?" Dai asked as he pulled out his glowing card too.
"Sybel." Haruka said as she pulled out hers.
"Aria, too?" Minako asked as she did the same.
At the Buddy Police, Jack, Ryuuga, and Satsuki are glowing.
"Satsuki. What's wrong with you?" Ku asked after seeing her glowing Buddy.
"Jack, why are you and Ryuuga glowing?" Tasuku asked.
"This is unusual." Daisuke said.
"Well I don't know, but the light is speaking to me." Jack assumed.
"Yeah. Me too." Ryuuga said.
"Me as well." Satsuki said. Then the card from Daisuke's deck glowed as he pulled it out.
"Huh? What's going on with the Photonic Gear?" He asked as the light releases as it opens a portal.
"What's this?" Ku asked.
"It looks like some sort of portal. Daisuke?" Tasuku asked his partner.
"I better check to see what's going on." Daisuke said as he looked at the card, "I want to find out myself." He runs into the portal as quickly as he could. And then he came back instantly with a surprise, he carried on his back.
"That was quick." Ku said.
"Is that...?" Tasuku asked as he saw a familiar person.
"I'll explain later."
"It says battle together." Abygale assumed from what the light said.
"Now's the time to unite our strength as one." Athora said.
"Do you know where Batzz is?" Gao wondered about his buddy.
"All of you! Come fight under me!" Batzz's voice spoken as Gao looked up, "Or rather please come and fight under this banner!" Batzz was in space through the galaxy, "Everyone from different worlds, heed my call! We need your strength! Please! For Gao Mikado, lend your power!" Then Chibi Panda, along with Athora, Abygale, and Tsukikage as they transformed to their true forms. Then the cards flew up as El Quixote, Duel Jaeger, Sybel and Aria came to be.
"Happy to lend a helping hand!" Asmodai said as he joined in. They all joined together as the light shines brighter. Then the new Mirage card transforms into a new Flag card. It descended down as Gao receives it.
"Thunder Emperor's Fang?" Gao said after looking at the title of the card.
"This must be the response to Batzz's call for the Thunder Empire to assemble." Kanata assumed.
"This Flag card let's you fight together with monsters from all the other worlds." Gaito explained the effect.
At the CHAOS Company...
"That devious Bunbuku... He somehow managed to hand over the new Mirage Card to Gao Mikado after out battle." Wisdom said as he was frustrated.
"I'm sorry to report, Master. But our readings tell us that a new Flag card's been created. How do you wish to proceed?" His butler asked.
"Depends. What's the status on Geargod VII?" Wisdom requested status for his Buddy.
"Unfortunately, will require considerable time before before he's ready to head into battle again." His butler gave the results of Geargod VII. Wisdom stands up.
"Then why are you talking to me?" Wisdom asked sarcastically as he was leaving.
"Master, I..." His butler tried to explain, "What about Mikado's Flag card?"
"It will be no match for The CHAOS. You can take care of it, Grimoire." Wisdom recommended a solution.
"As you wish, Master."
At the Buddy Police HQ...
"Hang on, this Thunder Emperor's Fangs Flag card." Tasuku said as Gao showed it to him, Daisuke, and Ku, "Is the new Mirage Card that Guru risked his life to create?" He asked.
"And it will really unite the Thunder Empire from all the different worlds to fight as one for our cause?" Daisuke asked.
"Yeah." Gao nodded, "Jack, Ryuuga, and Satsuki can join in and fight alongside us too!"
"As part of my extraordinary army of friends, please help us." Batzz requested.
"I'm in!" Jack gladly agreed.
"So am I!" Ryuuga agreed as well.
"I can't help thinking..." Tasuku said.
"Something wrong, Tasuku?" Daisuke asked.
"It's about Guru and Giant Tanuki."
"Huh?" Ku was confused as Daisuke gave a wink to let Ku know as she played along, "We're totally gonna fight for their memories! I promise not to let that creep Wisdom win at any cost!"
"Hey! That's the spirit!" Chibi Panda said as he landed on Ku's house, "But you have to wait until you're older to fight with us!" He recommended as Ku got mad.
"No, you didn't just said that." She said as she was about to snap again which spooked Gao for the troubles.
"Chibi, look out!" Gao warned as Ku bites on Gao's for some reason as punishment.
"I told you to never treat me like a little kid!" Ku said while biting Gao's head angrily.
"Why's it gonna be me again?!" He yelled as Daisuke chuckled and then Tasuku whispered to Daisuke's ear.
"Are you gonna tell him about Guru?" He asked.
"Don't worry. Gao will know later on. Besides, telling him now won't be the best time for today." He said.
"I see."
Later, at night, at the Mikado residences.
"Delicious!" Batzz said as he was having dinner, "Dinner's at the Mikado's is the best!" He devoured a huge serving of octopus dumplings as he finished them instantly, "Oh yeah." He cleans with his toothpick while Chibi Panda eats pizza.
"I see. So a lot of powerful monsters are gonna come and fight with Gao and Batzz, are they?" Takeshi asked.
"Yeah! Isn't it exciting?!" Chibi Panda said excitedly, "Actually, there could be some conflict as some monsters thinks they're always right. But I can deal. As their manager, I'll explain all the rules and always be tough but fair." He said as his eye gleams with confidence.
"You're the manager of the monsters?" Hanako asked.
"Mhm!"
"That's awesome!"
"Hang on." Gao said as he realized something, "When did you get put in charge?" He wondered.
"I just decided! Why? You got something to say about it?" Chibi Panda asked as he was getting angry, "I'm gonna rule you all in an iron fist! And first up is you, Gao!" He growled.
"Me?" He asked as Chibi Panda pulled out his sword.
"Don't forget, I'm a real fighter, Saint Holy Sword Dragon now! And big boss of all, the amazing Thunder Emperor Dragon, Barlbatzz! But what have you all did to? Huh, Gao?! Tell me!" He yelled, "The truth is, since I first met you, you haven't changed at all." He checked around Gao's body for the changes and smirked, "So you'll have to start working harder, you hear me, Mikado?!"
"Just calm down." Takeshi recommended.
"How can I?!" Chibi Panda asked as he runs around, "Unless Gao gets way more powerful, he'll be the laughingstock of the Thunder Empire!"
"Me? The laughingstock?" Gao asked sarcastically.
"Unless you want that to happen, you'll have to get stronger." Suzumi recommended.
"You too?" He asked his mom.
"To become a Buddyfighter worthy of that new Flag card, you'll have to work harder to improve yourself." She said as she handed something to him, "Here. Take this."
"Why?"
"It's my Mikado Style Aikijujitsu Training Program. Try it."
"Whoa, cool!" Gao said as he takes it, "You rock. Thanks, mom!"
At Gao's bedroom, they went to bed to sleep but Gao is the only one awake.
'Chibi Panda's right. Everyone's gotten stronger but me.' Gao thinks as he recalled the time.
"I call to the left! Chibi Panda! Or rather, Saint Holy Sword Dragon!" He calls out Chibi Panda but instead of his small form, he transforms to his dragon form, his true form.
"That's right! This is the real me!" Saint Holy Sword Dragon said.
"And I call to the right! The evolved form of my most powerful Buddy!" He called out as Batzz came out in his new form, "Thunder Emperor Dragon, Barlbatzz!"
'And my Flag card turned into Thunder Emperor's Fangs. My turn is next!' He stands up, "I'll do it!" He yelled but realized as they're still asleep and yelling would wake them up, he then covered his mouth quickly so they won't get disturbed. He looked and see that they're still asleep. He sighed in relief as he went back to sleep, "Goodnight." Batzz opened his eye a little as he smiled.
At Daisuke's apartment, Daisuke was looking at the view.
"Hey, Daisuke." Ryuuga said as he came by, "You always enjoy the view, huh?"
"You know it. I guess I needed some fresh air."
"Aren't you proud though? Your sister's Buddy became part of Thunder Empire."
Daisuke chuckled, "It's true that you and Sybel got upgraded, she was so excited that she wanted to help. That's why we need to get stronger. Cause it's not only you that's upgraded, so is the rest."
"Yeah. Though, I don't know why one of our gears did that for."
"That mystery will remain confidential."
"But what about..."
"They haven't spoken to me about this, right? So as long as we make sure Wisdom doesn't noticed, it's okay. Besides... there's no problem having to save at least one person."
"Yeah. I suppose so."
At the mountains, Gao and Chibi Panda are together as Chibi Panda held the program that Suzumi gave to Gao.
"According to the Mikado Style Aikijujitsu Training Program: First you must run!" He explained the steps.
"Strengthening my leg muscles, huh? No sweat!" Gao said as he goes ahead for a jog and then quickly runs as fast as he could.
"Left, right! Left, right!" Batzz said as he was in the sky in his true form, "Pick up those feet! Think fast!" He launched his attack at Gao to push him up. Gao managed to avoid it.
"Whoa, hey! What'd you do that for?!" He complained as Batzz laughed.
"Cause it's fun! Keep running!" Batzz said as he keeps trying while Gao's running for his life now, "Faster, kid! I mean I don't wanna hit you!" He said sarcastically.
"Just cut it out, Batzz! I can put you back in your card any second you know!" He warned.
"You wouldn't dare! I'm helping you train!" He continues as Gao continues but then he slipped down on the ground.
"I think I gonna die..." He said as he got exhausted. Then Chibi Panda then clicked the stopwatch as he saw how much seconds did Gao managed.
"We're just getting started!" Chibi Panda said as he started to get serious, "And you will have to get a faster time than that!"
"Are you kidding me?!"
"Hey, Gao. Would you mind if we train with you guys?" Zanya requested as he and his Buddy came along. Tsukikage opened his scroll, 'Assemble'
"Nin!"
"Yeah! Sure thing!" Gao gladly accepted, "You train with Batzz!"
"Tsukikage heard the call of the Thunder Emperor's Fangs. He's now the member of the Thunder Empire. Overturn Ninja, Tsukikage." Zanya explained as Tsukikage opened his scroll, 'Overturn Ninja, Tsukikage.'
"Nin!"
"Alright! Glad to have you on board!" Gao said as Tsukikage nodded.
"Wait just a sec!" A voice said as they looked above.
"Who are you?" Gao asked as it was a little monster that looks like gray lizard, wearing an armor, his helmet has a drill on the center, he has spikes on the kneecaps and the armor on the gloves. He has red eyes and has a red scarf wrapped around his neck. He has a shell that has two drills on the center, brown spikes around the shell and on the center of the shell, it has the mark of the Thunder Empire.
"Thwackdrill's the name! And I'm from Danger World!" He introduced.
"So are you joining us too?" Batzz asked.
"You betcha! I'd jump at any chance to fight with you. I'm gonna thwack up good!" He said. And then Kanata, Gaito, and Minako, along with their Buddies came by.
"Hey, Gao." Kanata said.
"Sup you guys." Gao said.
"We heard you were out here trying to get stronger. We wanna train too."
"We would like to accompany you." Gaito said.
"Can't let you have all the fun. I wanna get stronger too!" Minako said.
"Yes. It is our destiny to enhance our skills."
"The more the merrier!" Chibi Panda said, "Training is always better with our friends!"
"Talk about extra motivation. I'll have to work a lot harder to become stronger than you guys."
"Motivations..." Minako said as she felt down and Gaito looked at her.
"Heh. And more targets to shoot in." Batzz said as he gave a wink.
"You wouldn't dare." Gao said as he slapped himself on his face for focusing, "Alright! Let's get to work!"
Later. The whistle blows as the group are doing pushups while Chibi Panda blows for each pushups. Then they jog while dragging a tire tied to around their waists.
"One. Two. One. Two." All said together. While they drag the tires. Batzz jumped in on Gao's tire, giving him more weight.
"It just got heavier!" Gao complained. Then they started rock climbing while carrying a basket full of rocks. As Gao climbed, he felt something heaver in his basket, "Why is the weight keep getting heavier?" He struggled as he saw the problem, Batzz was adding more rocks to the basket, "You trying to kill me?!"
"Stop your whining." Batzz said as he added another weight. Then Chibi Panda helped out.
"Here's another one!"
At the cliffside, Batzz in his true form along with Gao are near the edge on the cliff as they preparing for something.
"Is your X-Tempest Buster more powerful yet?!" Chibi Panda asked excitedly.
"Let's see!" Gao said.
"Ready when you are, kid!"
"Okay, Batzz!" Gao began concentrating as he began to activate his Impact, wearing his armor, "I cast!" Gao activate the Thunder Lance as he throws it into the ocean, exploding it. After that, Gao landed back as Batzz reverted back to himself.
"I got way more power than that! Let's do it again!" Batzz demands a retry.
"I'm game!" Gao agreed as he activated his Impact again. As he throws many times, gushes of water rises up many times. Gao was getting exhausted after using it many time.
"How many times did he make?" Minako asked.
"I don't know. But each one gets more powerful." Gaito said.
"Keep it up, Gao!" Kanata cheered, "Again!" Then Batzz began concentrating his electricity as he puts down his shield and his lance together. Then something in the clouds, a weapon rises up.
"I cast!" Gao cast as he lift it up with all of his might. He then jumped up.
"What's happening?!" Chibi Panda asked as he was surprised.
"The Thunder Lance X-Tempest Buster's..." Athora said.
"Evolved into something else." Abygale finished.
"You mean..." Minako said.
"Like maybe their new Impact?" Gaito assumed.
"Yeah, I think you're right!" Kanata agreed.
"And it's extremely powerful." Zanya said. Tsukikage opened his scroll, 'New Impact'
"Nin!"
Then Gao launched his Impact to the ocean as the tower of water gushes higher than before. Gao kneel down from exhausting as his armor wore off.
"Nice work! You did it!" Batzz congratulate his Buddy.
"I know. Thanks to you, Batzz." Gao thanked his Buddy, "Say hello to our awesome new Impact! Turbulence Thunder Spear, X-Tempest Ulti-Buster!"
At the CHAOS Company...
"You must find some way to destroy: Gao Mikado's Flag card." Grimoire explained to the CHAOS 4.
"Is that an order from Master Wisdom?" Brutal asked for assumption.
"It is and time is of an essence."
"Master Wisdom's orders. Have to be. Directly. From himself." Tenko said.
"Yeah, she's right! Why isn't he here telling us himself?" Sakate asked, "I don't like taking orders from a lowly assistant."
"In that case, I'll inform Master Wisdom that you volunteered to dispose of it personally." Grimoire threatens Sakate.
"Alright. Leave it to me. I'll get rid of the card and Mikado." Sakate swore as the members were staring at him.
"Just don't disappoint. Master won't tolerate failure from you this time." Grimoire said as the meeting is adjourned.
At the hallways of the CHAOS Company, the members are walking.
Sakate got angry, "That Grimoire is such a tool. But if it's Master Wisdom's order, I can't refuse, can I?" He asked. Then the three members stopped. Keisetsu snickered.
"You're not too bright, are ya?" He asked.
"Why?"
"You basically just signed your own death warrant back there, you moron."
"How's that?"
"According. To the results. Of your matches. Against Gao Mikado. You have lost. 2 times. Ever since." Tenko explained.
"They're right. Mikado has already beaten you twice." Brutal said.
"So? Third time's the charm." Sakate said.
"Master Wisdom. Does not allow. Third chances." Tenko said.
"What do you mean?"
"You heard what Grimoire said? If you don't destroy that Flag Card, you're as good as roadkill." Brutal said.
"Shut up! I'm not gonna fail! If you wanna talk about failures, what about you, losing your monsters, big guy? And FYI, Keisetsu and Tenko are with me at the Mirage Shrine."
"All of that may be true, but I immediately took care of Miserea, who stole those monsters from me." Brutal said.
"And I. Took care. Of one. Of Gao Mikado's. Friend. For interfering. With my mission." Tenko said.
"Face it. You're the weak link on this team and soon you'll be replaced by someone who can cut it." Keisetsu said as it made Sakate frustrated.
"You better prove us wrong and destroy that card." Brutal said as he turned to leave, "But I've a feeling we won't be crossing paths again. Nice knowing that."
"Yeah, best of luck with Mikado, chump!" Keisetsu said as he turned to leave, "I'll look you up if I'm ever in loserville." Tenko who did not say anything this time, turns and leaves with them.
"Not gonna say anything insulting to Sakate, Tenko?" Brutal asked.
"Not if. Master Wisdom. Orders me to." She said as Keisetsu chuckled.
"Wow, you really respected him, do ya?" He asked.
"My loyalty. Belongs. To Master Wisdom."
"Kid Ibuki!" Sakate calls out his Buddy.
"Nice going, Buddy. You've really got us deep in it now, huh?" Kid Ibuki said as he even complaint to his own Buddy.
"Zip it, if you know what's good for you."
"Oooh, scary." Kid Ibuki said sarcastically.
'Maybe they're right, if I can't defeat Mikado, Wisdom could get rid of me once and for all.' He thinks of the consequences.
The next day at Aibo Academy.
"Hm? There's the bell!" The teacher, Nitsuke announced, "So that's it for today. Don't forget about our mathematics quiz tomorrow!"
"Okay!" All students said.
"Yes! School's finally over! Do you guys wanna hang out before headed home?" Gao asked his friends.
Outside the classroom, the teacher, Nitsuke walked happily and sighed.
"I love teaching those kids. Too bad, Daisuke couldn't help out anymore." He said, "But I guess it is exhausting sometimes." Then someone appeared as it was another Nitsuke as he smirked evilly.
Later. Gao and his friends are walking through the halls.
"I'm almost done The Thunder Emperor's Fangs deck, it's pretty sweet, bro." Baku explained the process.
"Don't take all the credit, I helped too." Kuguru said.
"Me too!" Haruka said.
"Thanks, you guys. You're the best." Gao thanked his friends.
"Mr. Mikado." Gao heard a voice as he turned and sees his teacher, "You forgot something."
"What'd I forget?" Gao asked.
"This. I found it on the floor under your desk." Other Nitsuke said as he held Gao's Core Deck Case in his hand.
"Hey, that's your Core Deck Case!" Noboru recognized, "How'd you leave that lying around?!"
"Actually, I never would." He checked his belt of where his Core Deck usually is and pull it out, "See?"
"Oh! Maybe yours is a fake! And someone has switched them. You better let me have a look." Other Nitsuke said as he was about to plan to take a look and snatched it.
"Mr. Nitsuke!" Gao said.
"Hey, kid! Why are you keeping us waiting?" Batzz asked as Kanata, Gaito and Minako are with him, along with the Buddies.
"Yeah! Aren't we gonna do something fun!" Chibi Panda said as the other Nitsuke noticed.
"Not Batzz!"
"Hey." Batzz noticed and the dragons noticed too.
"Hey, Gao. What's your teacher doing here?" Minako asked.
"And why does he have your Deck Case?" Gaito asked.
"Yeah. And why there are two of them?" Kanata said, "Just in case, you misplace one of them or something?"
"No, I don't think that's it." Athora denied it.
"Well, I must be going!" Other Nitsuke hesitated as he tries to escape in a rush, "See you in class tomorrow!"
"Think again!" Batzz said as he flies to follow him.
Outside at the courtyard. Other Nitsuke runs from his life as Batzz shoots his lightning but he jumped to evade it.
"Hey!" He yelled as Gao and the others arrived.
"The jig is up!" Batzz said as he and the dragons arrived, "Sakate!" He shoots the lightning at the other Nitsuke as the smoke revealed his true self.
"Darn you, Batzz!" Sakate said as his disguise failed.
"Sakate!" Gao noticed now.
"Smelled him right away." Batzz said as Sakate dropped either the real or fake Deck Case.
"And I was hoping to make you use this fake Deck Case." He said as he smashed the fake with his foot. Then his Buddy came out.
"That's Demon Lord Dragon, Batzz for you." Kid Ibuki said as he admits.
"Hmph. Look, Mikado. I got your new Flag Card right here in my hand, watch closely as I destroy it!" Sakate said as he pulls out the deck from the case but all of the sudden, it gag exploded as it brings a Chibi Panda in a box routine with a loser in kanji on the banner, "Wait, so it's a fake?!" He got surprised that he was tricked. Batzz laughed for the amusement.
"You felt for it!"
"I owe you one, Kanata. That was an excellent plan, man! Even Minako, thanks to your Buddy's creative skill, she managed to create duplicate without any flaws now." Gao said as Minako chuckled.
"I figured those CHAOS Company goons would come after Gao's Flag card but I have to be honest with you. I never thought that they be tricked so easily." Gaito explained.
"Yeah, and it's thanks to your girlfriend's help to your plan." Noboru said.
"She's not my girlfriend!" He yelled.
"Anyways, here you go." Kanata held out the real Deck Case, "The real one safe and sound." He handed back to Gao.
"Thanks!"
"Nobody makes a fool out of me, Mikado! You're history! I challenge you to a Buddyfight!" Sakate requested a challenge to Gao, "Let me see that goofy smile, my monster smash your face!" He pulled out his Core Deck.
"I accept, pal! I'm not afraid of you!" Gao said.
"Wherever there's a Buddyfight, you'll find me, Paruko Nanana!" Paruko said as she appears at the courtyard and the others are watching beside the fence, "Surprisingly, today's fight isn't on Aibo's Fighting Stage but in the schoolyard! And as a student shovel-o-side! I'll take a moment to introduce today's diverse fighters! We have world number one, Gao Mikado! Fighting against Sakate Onigashira, who also completed in the Buddy Masters Tournament!" Everyone from school are watching from the window.
"Oh no! A rumble on school property!" Nitsuke reacted after seeing the Buddyfight in the courtyard, "This is terrible!" Then Shido walked by as he saw the match outside.
"They're having a Buddyfight?! I, Magoroku Shido, Aibo Student Council President, did not give them permission to do this!" He shouted out as he rushes outside to stop this from happening, "Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!" He rushed to Gao, "You best stop this Buddyfight right now!" He demanded as Batzz cleared his throat, "Hm?"
"Beat it!" Batzz roared loudly as it knocked Shido out of the way.
"Devour a human and become an Oni! Transcendence on me and become a deity! Luminize! Scroll of Ghoul Deity, Hades Rascal!
"Rumble! And tremble! The Dragon Lord that shatters the Earth! Luminize! Thunderous Warlords Alliance!"
"It can't be!" Sakate said after hearing Gao's new hand, "He's luminized with seven hand cards!"
"Buddyfight!"
"Raise the Flag!"
"I'm with Katana World!"
"Thunder Empire's Fangs!" Gao's new Flag card shows the head of Batzz that is on the Flag, it has four spikes cross behind the Flag, "Regardless of the Worlds, I can use all Thunder Empire cards! And I start the game with 7 hand cards, 11 life points and 1 gauge!"
(G: 11/ Item: None/ G: 1: None/None/None)
(S: 10/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/None)
"Incredible! Seven hand cards! This Thunder Empire's Fangs changes everything if we only knew the rule of Buddyfight!" Paruko announced.
"First moves mine! Charge and Draw! I pay one gauge to call Overturn Mechanic Researcher, Aria to the center position!" He calls out Minako's Buddy, 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.
"Leave it me! As part of the Thunder Empire, I have finally perfected my skills as a mechanic!" Aria said.
"Interesting choice to start off with a Danger World monster." Kid Ibuki complimented.
"He brought my Buddy!" Minako said.
"Wow, she looks different now." Kanata said.
"Looks like there's hope for you yet, Minako." Gaito said as Minako nodded.
"Aria! Attack the fighter!" Gao commanded.
"You got it!" When she attacks, her boots changes into roller skates as she takes off leaving a path of lightning, as she skates, she spins around by using her hammer's rockets and then slams it to the enemy, "Gear Volt Hammer!" She slammed two damage at Sakate.
"What an opening move! She smashed away 2 of Sakate's Life points!" Paruko announced.
"This will be over in no time!" Kuguru said.
"Gao can win this for sure!" Haruka said cheerfully.
"I have total confidence of my new Thunder Emperor deck, bro. Gao used my masterpiece to slaughter the slimeball good." Baku said.
"Now it's Sakate's turn!" Paruko announced.
"He's just lumped a herd of random freaks together. Ha! I can beat him no prob." Sakate boasted, "Watch and learn! Draw! Charge and Draw! I call Pale Yellow Fiend, Kid Hoshiguma to the right!" He called out Hoshiguma, "Kid Hoshiguma can add one of my hand cards to his soul facedown." He sends one of his hand cards facedown to Kid Hoshiguma's soul, "I equip..." He paid one gauge to equip his new item, "Hidden Dark Arms, Yobigatana!" He equipped a new Katana, the scabbard is wrapped in purple sash and the sword is darken blade, the hand guard has a huge emerald and the sheath is wrapped in red sash.
"A new item!" Noboru was amazed.
"And it possesses fiendish energy!" Gaito said.
"That looks seriously powerful then." Minako said.
"THhs has been passed down to Onigashira clan for generations. Feel its massive power!" Sakate said as he strikes at Aria, slashing her in half.
"No!" Aria screamed as she got destroyed.
"Aria!" Minako yelled.
"Now I activate Yobigatana's ability, if I destroy an enemy monster with this item..." His item glowed in red aura as his top four cards came out, "I can look at the top 4 cards in my deck and choose one. And place it in an only assassin's soul facedown." He sends the card he chose facedown to Kid Hoshiguma's soul, "Now attack, Kid Hoshiguma! Smash that fraud Mikado to smithereens!" Kid Hoshiguma strikes at Gao, inflicting 2 damage, "I'm not done yet! Kid Hoshiguma! Do a Double Attack!" Batzz was getting irritated when Kid Hoshiguma has a Double Attack as he attacks Gao again, inflicting another 2 damage, knocking Gao to the ground.
"An excellent turn! Sakate hit hard, with every attack!" Paruko announced.
"So that's your Thunder Emperor's Fangs, huh?" Sakate asked as he laughed evilly.
"Gao!" Batzz went to check on him to see if he's okay. Then Gao stands up.
"I'm okay." Gao barely stands up, "Guru gave this Mirage Card to me. You'll see Thunder Emperor's Fangs' true power!" It got Sakate a little nervous.
"Go get em', kid." Batzz said, "Kick butt!" Gao nodded.
"I will. The new Thunder Empire Battle has just begun! And it'll be epic!"
Spotlight has shown as Daisuke and Ryuusei appeared on stage.
"Welcome back to more Corner Time!" Ryuusei said.
"For this chapter, we are showing another of our cards to show! Presenting now!" He snapped his finger as the card revealed itself, it shows Daisuke staring up to the night sky amazed at the vast number of stars in the galaxy.
"Wow! You're watching the sky like it was a beautiful night!" Ryuusei said.
"Stop that! It's embarrassing to see myself like that!" Daisuke said as he tries to cover the card's image but then sighed as he had no choice, "As you can see, this is a spell card called Galaxy Gazer. By putting the top two cards from my deck to the gauge. I can then draw a card if I have monster on the field with a card in its soul. This is actually quite helpful. With this, I'll be able to use the effects from my cards to help."
"Yeah. And maybe you'll get some wishes to be granted!"
"I said stop that!" He yelled, "Anyways, the next chapter will be the continuation for Gao using his new Flag Card, too bad Aria didn't last enough. But she'll get her chance again soon. So give us a review of what you think and provide us with more card ideas. Until then bye for now!" They waved goodbye as the screen faded black.
