Chapter 33: X-Tempest Ulti-Buster

"Last time on Buddyfight X!" Chibi Panda said.

"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.

"Gao's in tough against Sakate. But his new Thunder Emperor's Fangs Flag has brought strong monsters from all the Worlds to fight for him! And Gao's got way stronger as well! Practically unbeatable! And as his manager, it's a major stress relief!" Then Chibi Panda practicing boxing as there was a picture of Sakate on the punching bag, "I wish I was fighting that creep Sakate, I'd give him a four! But I know Gao would beat him! Alright! Let's get ready to rock and roll!"

At Aibo Academy, all the students are watching from the floors and windows from the building.

"Sakate's turn is over! It's Gao's chance to do some damage!" Paruko announced.

"You think it's wise for Gao to be using his Thunder Emperor's Fangs soon?" Gaito wondered.

"He doesn't look like he's ready to master that deck yet." Minako said.

"I know we don't have much practice with it but Gao's a real pro." Baku said as he believed in Gao.

"You mean he's actually using a deck that isn't even balanced?" Noboru asked.

"He's unable to use his green or blue Dragon Shield cards." Kanata explained.

"I wouldn't worry." A voice said as it was Zanya who came around.

"Why's that?" Noboru asked.

"Yeah, Zanya. How can you be so sure?" Kanata asked.

"Gao's overcome worse situations than this before and this time he's got my powerful Buddy in his deck as well, not just Gaito's girlfriend's Buddy." Zanya said.

"She's not my girlfriend!"

"Well I agree with Zanya, bro. Gao's got this." Baku said as he gave a thumb up. Above the sky near Aibo Academy, Grimoire appeared as he was watching the match from above the sky.

"Master won't be pleased with this. I was crystal clear: Sakate received orders to dispose of Gao Mikado's Mirage Card. Guess it's too late. His only choice now is to use Overkill and defeat him." Grimoire devised an option.

"Alright! I Draw! Charge and Draw! I call Raid Officer Delta to the left!" He calls out Delta, "I'm counting on you. And to the right, I call... Overturn Ninja, Tsukikage!" He called out Zanya's Buddy. But in his form, he has the original form but has golden piece of armor on his suit, on his shoulder guard, it has the armor with thunder on it.

"Nin!"

"First, an Overturn Mechanic, now an Overturn Ninja?!" Sakate asked as he was surprised.

"It's not just Aria, who has a new form. Tsukikage has a new form too! And both of them had Overturn!" Gao explained.

"Incredible! Entering the field is Zanya Kisaragi's Buddy, Tsukikage! It's too bad that Minako's Buddy, Aria didn't make much of herself." Paruko announced.

"Did she have to say that where I could listen?" Minako said as she was getting a bit down.

"Just stay on target, pal." Zanya advised.

"It's kinda like a bizarro world seeing him pop out of Gao's deck, unlike Aria. Oh, no offense." Noboru siad.

"None taken." She said as she takes the offense.

"Sure is." Kanata said.

"I equip!" He paid one gauge and life to equip his item, "My Arc Dragon Sword, Dracross!"

"Kid Hoshiguma! Move to the center!" His monster has been moved to the center area.

"Tsukikage! Attack the center!"

"Nin!" Tsukikage used his speed as he quickly run all over to attack.

"I cast! Demon Way, Noroihikagami!" Sakate cast as the mirror appeared in front of Tsukikage. Tsukikage strikes as it hit himself which made him destroyed himself.

"No Penetrate damage." Zanya said.

"But he did make Sakate use a defensive spell." Kanata said.

"Yeah, but he needs to cause some damage!" Noboru said as he was expecting Gao to deal some damage at Sakate.

"Delta! Go attack him!" Delta make his attack as Gao gained a gauge due to his effect, it used its Impact Delta Slash as it strikes Kid Hoshiguma destroying him instantly.

"Delta doesn't jump perfectly and now Sakate's center's left wide open!" Paruko announced.

"No chance! Kid Hoshiguma and his two soul cards will take care of that, the effect of Under the Table sent to the Drop Zone boosts my gauge by 3." Sakate gained 3 gauge as the giant bell appeared from the sky as it descends to the field, "And Ambush!"

"Ah, not this weird fig nut!" Batzz complained as the bell revealed the monster.

"I call to the center, Red Fiend, Kid Kaneguma!" Sakate called out.

"Think again!" Gao said as he used his Dracross to attack Kaneguma.

"Gao keeps up his aggressive attack! But blocked by Ambush, he's once again foiled from causing any damage to Sakate!" Paruko announced.

"Don't worry about it, kid! When you put me in, I guarantee I'll knock that tot face jerk into next week!" Batzz said.

"Sounds good, but my turn is over now." Gao said as he declared.

"Man, not a single blow on that guy." Minako said.

"Because his Ambushes are a pain." Noboru said.

"Well, I'm not bothered, bro. I know Gao will figure out a way to win." Baku said as he believed.

"Me too." Kuguru said.

"Me three." Haruka said.

"But Sakate still has an ace up his sleeve." Kanata said.

"Yeah, With his Ambush and with his Buddy on the line." Minako said.

"He sure to set his trap in motion on his turn." Gaito said.

"This fight won't end like our last. Draw! I Charge and Draw! I call Ibuki's Right Hand Man, Kid Ibaraki to the right position!" Sakate paid one gauge as he calls out a man wearing dark yukata, with magenta lining, he carries four katanas on his back, he has dark yellow hair, grey skin, has a mask on his mouth, and has dark boots with magenta lining, "Activate Kid Ibaraki's ability. Send the top 5 cards of my deck to his soul facedown!" He sent his five cards to Kid Ibaraki's soul facedown. Then he laughed.

"Did he say five?!" Gao said as he got surprised.

"What's that evildoer plotting now?" Batzz asked.

"Kid Ibaraki, attack the fighter!" Kid Ibaraki was about to attack Gao with his blade on his arm, however...

"I cast! Thunder Emperor Great Shield!" Gao cast as a shield with the face of Batzz's evolution protected Gao.

"Gao blocks the attack with a new spell!" Paruko announced.

"Lucky move but you won't be able to block this!" Sakate said as he rides on his Buddy's back and then he jumps to attack, "Dark Arms, Yobigatana!" He slashed at Gao, inflicting 1 damage, "When this item deals damage to my opponent, I can choose one of the top four cards in my deck and put it in Ibaraki's soul facedown!" He chose one of the four cards as it was sent to the monster's soul.

"The soul again?!" Gao asked surprisingly again.

"And with that, my turn is over." Sakate declared.

"Sakate is gradually chipping away again at Gao Mikado's life points! Let's see how Gao is gonna respond on his next turn!" Paruko announced.

"Time to crush it!" Gao pull the lever as it turned sideways, "Draw! I Charge and I Draw!" He saw the card he drew, "I call Replenisher Pentar to the right!" He calls out Pentar, "His ability lets me draw a card!" He drew a card.

"Kid Ibaraki, move to the center." Sakate moved Kid Ibaraki to the center.

"It has a Move ability?" Minako asked.

"Agh, not again!" Noboru said.

"He could do this for awhile as Kid Ibaraki has six soul cards." Zanya said.

"He's setting him up for an Ambush." Kanata said.

"Don't let him rattle you, kid. We can handle this punk!" Batzz said.

"I know." Gao smiled for the expectation, "Delta! Go attack the center!" Delta attacks as Gao gains the gauge due to its effect.

"I cast. Art of Body Replacement!" Sakate cast as Ibaraki evaded Delta's attack.

"He blocked the attack!" Paruko announced but Pentar makes his attack as he threw his stars at Ibaraki as he got destroyed, "Pentar destroys Kid Ibaraki! Sakate's center's open again!" Sakate laughed evilly.

"Check it! The six cards in his soul was sent flying! Get ready for some fireworks!"

"Here comes Ambush." Batzz said.

"I'm ready!" Gao said as he was prepared for this.

"Six soul cards were sent to the Drop Zone along with Kid Ibaraki. The first was Watchful Eyes and I activate it's ability! As a result, I gain 3 life points." He regained 3 life.

"Oh, he's back to ten!" Kuguru said.

"He put a lot in that soul." Gaito said, "What other cards were they?" He asked.

"Whatever it is, it doesn't look good for Gao." Minako said.

"The second card was another Watchful Eyes! Yep, you guessed it! I get another 3 life!" Sakate gained another 3 life.

"Unbelievable! Sakate's up to 13 life!" Paruko announced.

"Increase it all you want! There'll be more for me to take away!" Batzz said.

"In your dreams. Another Watchful Eyes gives me three more!"

"No way!" Gao and Batzz said simultaneously as Sakate gained 3 more life.

"That means his life is at a whooping 16!" Paruko announced.

"Well if you're that impressed by 16. How'd you feel..." Sakate said as another Watchful Eyes has been played, "If I jacked it to 19?!"

"Are you kidding?! Sakate increased his life to 19 with spells and spells and spells alone?! That's gonna be some kind of record!" Paruko announced as Kid Ibuki splits himself to two.

"And it's just keep on coming! Ambush!" Sakate said as Gao grunted as he was aware for the surprise in store. Kid Ibukis danced as the bell appeared above the sky and slammed at them on the ground, "Buddycall to the center!" The bell fades away as his Buddy appears on the center area, "Shuten Demonic Deity, Kid Ibuki!" Kid Ibuki's evolved form as he was bigger oni version fused with Oni Boss.

"I don't recognized him." Gao said as seeing Sakate's unfamiliar Buddy.

"He's different than he was last time." Batzz said as he recalled.

"That's right. I've evolved! Here, have a Buddy Gift." Kid Ibuki said as Sakate gained the life due to a Buddy Gift, which maximized the life to 20.

"Now I have 20 life!" Sakate said evilly.

"He's maximized his life points!" Minako said.

"There's no way Gao can win!" Noboru said.

"I guess that was the ace up his sleeve!" Zanya said as he realized.

"But I think Gao still have his Dracross attack remaining." Kanata said.

"Hang on! You didn't think that I was finished yet!" Sakate yelled as another bell descended to the ground, "Ambush! I call to the left! Blue Fiend, Kid Kuma!" He calls out a little girly fiend, that has a blue robe with light blue lining, carries bladed claws as weapons, it has light purple hair and has white puffs on the chest, two on the robe on each side and on both on the shoes, "Activate Kid Kuma's ability! He reduces your Dracross attack power by 3000!" A dark mist wraps around Gao's item as it shrunken down to small size. Sakate laughed, "You can't defeat Kid Ibuki with that now, can you?"

"I'll enjoy crushing you, punk!" Batzz said angrily.

"We'll use everything we got on the next turn. But first..." Gao said as he jumps to attack Kid Kuma first, "Take this!" He slashed through as he destroyed Kid Kuma.

"Gao alters his strategy and destroys Kid Kuma on the left instead of going up to the center!" Paruko announced.

"Okay. My turn is over." Gao declared.

Sakate laughed, "I'll use my incredible 20 life points to slowly squash you to the ground. Now get a load of me! Time to run wild!" Sakate said as his Buddy prepared his knife bladed weapon to attack, "I activate Kid Ibuki's ability!"

"You're reading my mind!" Kid Ibuki said as he jumps up, "The moment you stood before me was the moment you set foot to Hades!" He swings his weapon as the gust of wind blows away Delta and Pentar, destroying instantly.

"How did he destroy Delta and Pentar?!" Gao asked after covering himself from the wind.

"When my turn begins, Demonic Deity, Kid Ibuki destroys all of my opponent's monsters and he deals damage for each monster that he destroys!" Sakate explained the effect.

"Special Arts: Demonic Deity Elimination Slash!" Kid Ibuki spins around as he slashed at Gao, inflicting 2 damage.

"What amazing power!" Kanata said as he was amazed.

"Yeah, that Shuten Demonic Deity, Kid Ibuki is really something else." Noboru admits.

"Maybe Gao can't win this." Zanya assumed as Sakate's turn was on as he draws and Charge and Draw.

"Sakate is totally dominating this match!" Paruko announced.

"I call Kid Kuma to the left!" He call out the same monster again, "Kid Ibuki. Move over to the right." Gao grunted as Kid Ibuki was moved to the right position. Then he raised his hand as Sakate landed on his Buddy's palm, "Now Kid Ibuki, go attack the fighter!"

"Leave it to me!" Kid Ibuki jumps to attack.

"I won't lose to you!" Gao yelled.

"I'll squish you like a worm!"

"I cast! Thunder Emperor Great Shield!" He cast as he managed to block the attack.

"Gao desperately defending out there!" Paruko announced.

Sakate laughed, "Don't waste my time! Kid Kuma! Get him!" Kid Kuma strikes at Gao, inflicting 1 damage.

"Come on, kid!" Batzz said.

"Take this!" Sakate attacks Gao, inflicting 1 damage.

"I'm not done!" Gao said.

"What a shocking turn of events! Gao's down to 1 life!" Paruko announced.

"I activate Hidden Dark Arms, Yomigatana's ability! From the top four cards in my deck, I place one card in Kid Kuma's soul!" He sent a soul card to Kid Kuma, "Poor Mikado, your lame new Flag isn't cutting against my awesome power. You're helpless, even that old geezer Bunbuku who couldn't defeat me now." He boasted.

"No! Guru will defeat you!" Gao complained angrily.

"Please, that old coot lost to Master Wisdom. He's old news. And you're more of a joke than he was, Mikado."

"Let me at him." Batzz said as he was anxious to beat up Sakate.

"Kay, but keep your cool, Batzz and let's win this for Guru!" Gao said.

"Right! I will! We'll show Tweedledum here just how powerful this deck is!"

"Yeah. Time for some fun!" Gao smiled.

"Look at Gao." Kanata said after looking at his face.

"Is he smiling?" Noboru asked as he was confused.

"He's a situation here. How could he smiled at a time like this?" Minako asked.

"Doesn't he understand that he is in a perilous situation?" Gaito asked.

"Erasing 20 life points will be just about impossible. Even for Gao." Zanya said.

"Gao always smiles in the face of adversity, bro." Baku said.

"How come?" Haruka asked.

"Remember that Guru smiled a lot too." Baku explained.

"So he did." Kuguru nodded in agreement.

"I call Saint Holy Sword Dragon to the left!" He calls out Chibi Panda's true form.

"You know it! Finally I get to fight!" His scabbard breaks open, revealing his Holy Sword, "And I better give it my all today!" Saint Holy Sword said.

"I Buddycall to the right! The amazing Thunder Emperor Dragon, Barlbatzz!" He paid one gauge as he Buddycalled and regained one life.

"I'll beat you all at once!" Batzz jumped as he transforms to his true form, "An inside 30 seconds... You'll be begging for mercy!" He yelled.

"We work together to defeat Sakate!" Gao said.

"Right!" Both said.

"Don't even try and block me, it's no use." Sakate said.

"We wanted to make you feel good so we can get a head start." Batzz said as he cracks his neck.

"Prepare for our Thunder Emperor's Formation! It's about to get real!" Gao said.

"The Thunder Emperor's Formation chain attack are about to begin!" Paruko announced, "All of them have Double Attacks but can they really take out all of Sakate's 20 life points?! Watch and find out!"

"Do your worst, Mikado. You'll only fail!" Sakate said as Gao is preparing himself to attack, "Kid Ibuki, move to the center!" Kid Ibuki has been moved to the center again.

"Hahahaha! No matter what you throw at us, it's useless! We're undefeatable!" Kid Ibuki said.

"Oh I almost forgot to tell you about my secret weapon, Overkill!" Sakate explained.

"No way!" Gao said.

"Did he say 'Overkill'?!" Minako asked.

"How can he have it?" Noboru asked.

"Not good." Zanya said.

"You're as good as dead, Mikado! Shuten Demonic Deity!" Sakate used his hand to create the Kanji for Over, "Okay, Kid Ibuki! Overkill!" He create the Kanji for Kill, combined into Overkill, "When I pay this one gauge, my Shuten Demonic Deity, Kid Ibuki cannot be destroyed."

"He can't be destroyed?!" Gao asked as he was surprised.

Kid Ibuki laughed, "Not on this turn anyway. How do you like me now? Defeat is your only true option." He smirked evilly.

"Hah. I'll put that theory to the test!" Batzz said.

"What a terrifying ability." Zanya said.

"It's preventing him from being destroyed." Gaito said.

"As if Overkills are bad enough for us, you know." Minako said.

"So that's his Overkill." Kanata said.

"Hold on a second. So Gao's attacks..." Kuguru said.

"Won't do anything at all." Noboru said as Baku grunted in frustration.

"Will Gao be able to win this turn?" Haruka said.

"Don't worry, Haruka. Gao will win." Kuguru said, "I hope."

"How amazing is this Overkill! Gao's attack can't even reach their target!" Paruko announced, "And with the life points at 20 to 2, I don't think even Gao can get out of this!" Meanwhile, Grimoire is watching the match from the sky on his platform.

"I expected nothing less, Sakate of the Dark Arts. A timely use of your Overkill. Well done indeed." Grimoire admits, "As a member of the CHAOS 4, you need to serve your purpose to help the Wisdom Clan."

"Oh Big Boss, what should we do now?!" Saint Holy Sword asked desperately.

"Don't sound so helpless!" Batzz complained.

"But I'm confused. If we can't destroy him then what are we attacking him for?"

"Cuz there's always a chance, Chibi Panda." Gao said as he makes his move to attack. His attack landed but it failed.

"As predicted, Gao's attack have no effect whatsoever!" Paruko announced as Gao landed on Kid Ibuki's head.

"Double Attack!" Gao landed a second attack on the head but nothing happened.

"He can't destroy him!"

Sakate laughed, "No matter how much you tried, Kid Ibuki is undefeatable thanks to his Overkill!" He said as his Buddy sweep Gao away.

"I told you so!" Saint Holy Sword said as he flies to save Gao. He managed to grab him in time, "Don't worry. I got you."

"Please Chibi Panda. You must go attack Kid Ibuki." Gao said.

"Why?" Saint Holy Sword asked.

"Just do as Gao says!" Batzz said, "Saint Holy Sword Dragon."

"You got it, Big Boss!" Saint Holy Sword said as he makes his attack and strikes at Kid Ibuki, "Aiming for the teeth!"

"Insects!" Kid Ibuki swings his arm as he whips off Saint Holy Sword away, "What do you think of my Overkill?" He boasted.

"I'll try a Double Attack!" He said as he tried to attack from behind.

"Bug off!" Kid Ibuki swings around as he hits Saint Holy Sword away. Then Batzz came running to make his attack. Kid Ibuki and Batzz fought against each other in battle.

"Overkill: 1! Mikado: 0!" Sakate said.

"Double Attack!" Batzz yelled.

"Why's he keep attacking?" Kanata wondered.

"He keeps attacking like there's no tomorrow." Minako said.

"But there's no way he's gonna defeat Kid Ibuki." Zanya said.

"This is so frustrating! There must be something he can do!" Noboru said. Then Sakate started laughing.

"Temper, temper, Demon Lord Dragon." He said as Batzz makes his second attack by battling Kid Ibuki again.

"You're embarrassing yourself!" Kid Ibuki said.

"That's six attacks." Baku said.

"And it's not putting a dent on that monster." Minako said as Gaito noticed something.

"Huh?"

"I'm counting on you! Thunder Emperor Dragon!" Gao used his hand to make the kanji for Over, "Barlbatzz!" He then made the sign for turn, "Overturn! I exchange my hand card and gauge so my Barlbatzz, Dra-Cross, and Saint Holy Sword Dragon are able to attack again!"

"Gao! Why don't you understand?! There's no point to attacking an evil demon fist!" Saint Holy Sword said.

"He's right! Overturn can only be used once during a Buddyfight. So why is Gao choosing to use his special power of Overturn now?" Paruko announced as she wondered. Then Sakate laughed again.

"Hilarious! Mikado's coming apart at the seams! As soon as it's my turn, I gonna pound all of you Thunder Empire chumps to a pulp!" He said as Gao makes a third attack.

"You're pretty thick, huh?!" Kid Ibuki said after taking the hit but no effect, "You can't lay a finger on me." Kid Ibuki laughed as Gao landed on the ground with his feet grind on the ground.

"I think that makes seven attacks!" Baku said.

"But how come Gao is using seven attacks right now?" Haruka asked.

"I don't know but I think he knows what he's doing." Kuguru said.

"I'm so desperate, I'll try anything!" Saint Holy Sword said as he makes his attack again.

"Give up already!" Kid Ibuki said as he pushes him out.

"That makes eight!" Baku said.

"Why are you counting the numbers of attacks, dude?" Noboru asked. Batzz comes charging for his third attack. He fought with everything he got as Kid Ibuki pushes him away.

"So much for the great Demon Lord Dragon!" Kid Ibuki bragged,

"And that's nine!" Baku said, "This is what Gao's been waiting for!" Gao then placed his Dra-Cross on the ground.

"Time for Final Phase!" Gao declared.

"But how?! What's going on?! You shouldn't be able to fire X-Tempest Buster!" Sakate said as he got shockingly surprised.

"Eclipsing the darkness with flames!" His half body got dragonicfied as the gauntlet was in place on his arm, "And brighten the hearts of the mistreated! The Mighty Sun Fighter is here!" The mark of the sun is shines on his back.

"I've got 20 life points! No matter what you're trying to throw at me, you can't defeat me!" He yelled. Batzz yelled with his dark lightning as he throws down his lance as the tornado spins bigger as the upgraded version of the Thunder Lance raised up by Gao.

"I cast!" Gao throws the Thunder Lance with all of his might as he jumped, "And this isn't the X-Tempest Buster!" The Thunder Lance upgraded into three parts, the first part is the shaft, the second part is the center piece that magnetized four black pyramid shaped with yellow lining all around, the final part is the lance that is similar to Batzz's weapon except it has a face of dragon that is covered with the fours blade around it. Gao jumps on the Lance as he flips through. Then he jumps on the center piece as he jumps on it and pushes it around to spin it, "This Impact... Deals 20 damage!" He throws it as he dashes to follow it.

"I don't believe you! You're lying!" Sakate yelled as Gao's Impact landed on him.

"Turbulence! Thunder Spear! X-Tempest Ulti-Buster!" He hits the spear as the x spreads higher and stronger as it instantly dealt 20 damage at Sakate.

(G: 1/ Item: Dra-Cross/ G: 0: Saint Holy/None/Batzz)

(S: 0/ Item: Dark Arms/ G: 2: None/Kid Ibuki/None)

"Game End! Winner: Gao Mikado!" Paruko announced, "He blew away 20 life points in one go! I never seen anything like it! Simply amazing! Gao is a true champion!" Then Gao's Impact wore off after the battle.

"Alright. Thanks to my deck builder." Gao said.

"That's why Gao was continuing his attack." Baku said.

"I'm lost." Noboru said as he was confused.

"Yeah. Why did he continued his attacks?" Minako asked.

"The X-Tempst Ulti-Buster normally requires 12 gauge. But each time Gao attacks, that cost goes down." Baku explained.

"I get it! So he kept attacking Ibuki." Kanata said as he realized it.

"So for each he makes, he lowers the costs down to 3?" Haruka asked.

"Yep! That's exactly right!" Kuguru complimented as she gave her a pat on the head. Meanwhile, Grimoire watches the match.

"Turbulent Thunder Spear X-Tempest Ulti-buster. This poses quite a problem. I never thought he had a Impact that deals 20 damage even with a monster in the opponent's center." He admits. Then Sakate slammed his fist on the ground for frustration of the loss of his match.

"Why?!" Sakate said, "How could you have such an Impact?! It's impossible!"

"Scram! Tell your boss. Next time I see him, I'll finish him for good." Batzz advised the message to Sakate.

"I'm not your messenger, fool! Now, get bent!" Sakate said angrily as he throws a smoke bomb to the ground as everyone cough from the smoke and Sakate vanished without a trace.

"Hey, what?!" Chibi Panda asked as they noticed Sakate is gone, "He's gone!"

"Good riddance to the worm." Batzz said as he expects it to happen. Sakate somehow appeared behind the tree, watching them.

"I'll get that Demon Lord Dragon for this." Sakate swore revenge as he pull out his Buddy out as Kid Ibuki appeared.

"What now?" Kid Ibuki asked, "We not only failed to get the card, we lost the Buddyfight!" He complained.

"Shut up." Sakate said as he got nervous, "This blows, Wisdom's gonna kill me! I'll be off the CHAOS Four for sure."

Later, at sunset, everyone is at the riverbed as they walking home.

"That was an awesome Impact!" Noboru admits.

"I can't believe you used 3 gauge on a card that usually requires 12." Zanya said as he did his math.

"Baku told us how those nine attacks were a smart way of reducing your gauge cost." Kanata said.

"Oh yeah. I learned it in training. But I could only do it because I had the Mirage Card that Guru gave us to protect." Gao said as he felt down because of what happened to Guru.

"Sorry Gao." He apologized.

"Hey, Kanata, look!" Athora said as he and Kanata noticed something smoking inside Guru's hut. They went to check on see what's going on. As it was shockingly surprise look on their faces, they saw Guru who somehow came with his Buddy, Tanuki as they were having grilled fish.

"Guru. Is it really you?" Gao asked as he got surprised.

"Course it's me! Who'd you expecting in my house?" Guru asked.

"And all this time, we thought..." Noboru said as he started to get angry.

"We thought you had died!" Kuguru yelled.

"We saw you getting crushed by those rocks because of Wisdom!" Minako yelled.

"Turns out, someone took a little trip through time and rescue me just before those rocks came tumbling down on me. I was brought into this time and then afterward, made it back here. But I was resting at the hospital most of the days and then I was enjoying some hospital food. It was so good, I couldn't leave at all! But then they have a hospital bill ready for me. So I decided to head back home." Guru explained.

"Trip through time?" Gao asked as he looked at Batzz, "Does that mean?"

"He actually went back and helped Guru?" Batzz asked. Gao then smiled.

"I... I'm so... happy!" Gao leapt in and hugged Guru and Tanuki after seeing them again.

"Get off of me, would you, warm and fuzzy son?! I'm trying eat my dinner here!" He yelled.

"I thought you guys were goners! I can't believe Daisuke saved you! I'm so happy to see you!"

"Hey! Don't mention his name! That was suppose to be a secret!"

"Oh, this is so amazing!" Gao said as everyone was happy that Guru came back safely. However, Batzz isn't happy.

"You... you... got to be kidding me!" Batzz yelled angrily as he transformed to his true form and destroyed the statue that was made for Guru.

"How dare you break that statue of me, you klutz?!" Guru complained.

"Zip your mouth! You should've shown your face much sooner instead of wasting away in the hospital, old man." Batzz said.

"That statue really captured my essence. Could you carve me another one?" He kindly requested.

"Never in the million years!" He yelled.

"Hey, Gao. What do you mean by Daisuke saved him?" Noboru asked as Gao got surprised.

"O-oh nothing." Gao said as he got nervous.

"You better tell us, bro." Baku said.

"We know you're hiding something." Kuguru said.

"Yeah, tell us!"

"Oh man, Daisuke's gonna kill me for this." Gao said with a depressed look on his face.

At night, at the CHAOS Company. Wisdom was busy, looking at the data of his Buddy, Geargod VIII as he runs a full analysis. Then he noticed Grimoire came back while looking at the data.

"I'm listening." Wisdom said.

"Yes sir! I sent Sakate to dispose of Gao Mikado's new Flag card but I'm sorry to report that he failed." Grimoire reported, "However, through his Buddyfight with Mikado, we were able to obtain vital new data."

"Not interesting." Wisdom said as his comment for the report, "Now, run along. I'm busy." He advised, "You're dismissed."

"You'll have my report as soon as it's ready." Grimoire bowed as he leaves. Wisdom looked at the data from the Buddyfight today as he saw the new Flag card, which made him interested.

"Thunder Emperor's Fangs, huh?" He asked, "It's still no match for my Geargod."

At the forest, at night. A mysterious dragon in the sky that looks similar to Saint Holy Sword except wearing a cowboy suit appeared.

"My dearest sweet panda. We'll be reunited soon."

Spotlight shown as Daisuke and Ryuusei appeared on stage.

"Hello! Welcome back for more Corner Time!" Daisuke said.

"Sorry for the delays. Daisuke has work to do since he in the Buddy Police after all."

"Shut it. Anyways, this is all the Cosmic ideas for now. Because either we got plenty of cards or the viewers aren't getting us more yet. But that's okay, we all have busy days. Putting those aside for now, the next chapter will be about Chibi Panda having a little fatherly reunion. Who knows how that turns out?"

"I feel like this is deja vu all of the sudden."

"Nah, it won't be like that though. Give us a review of what you think and provide us more ideas. Until then bye for now."

"Um, aren't we gonna talk Gao about the secret though?"

Daisuke sighed as he had his head down, "He's gonna owe big time for this. Let's go." He said as he leaves the stage.

"Got it." He bowed to the audience as the screen faded black.
