Chapter 38: Brilliant Magicians on Stage
"Last time on Buddyfight X...!" Chibi Panda said after pulling out his sword.
"I pay one gauge to Buddycall my trusted monster to the right! Overturn Mechanic Researcher, Aria!" She paid one gauge to Buddycall as she regained one life.
"Leave it me! Now that I finally perfected my skills as a mechanic, I can help make weapons and fortress to help the Thunder Empire!" Aria said.
"Minako brought her Buddy with an Overturn! What can she do to help in this situation?" Paruko announced
"With her skill, I'll discard one card to add one item card to my hand." She discard one card to add another, "And now, it's time to unleash her full power! Go! Overturn Mechanic Researcher!" She makes the kanji for Over, "Aria! Go!" She makes another for turn, "Overturn!" She makes Overturn, "I activate Overturn by paying one gauge and send the top card from my deck to the Drop Zone." She paid gauge and send the card from the deck to the Drop Zone.
"Did you hear that?! Minako has unleashed her first Overturn! Can this day get any better?!" Paruko announced.
"For this turn, I will choose an "Mechanical" item and give that card power +6000 or critical +2! I will my Gearbreaker and increased the power to 6000!" Her item got boosted.
"Impossible!" Kurotama said as she got surprised.
"Not as possible as this! Aria! Let's attack together!" She said.
"You got it!" Aria said as they joined hands and then they dashes through the stage. They attacked Count together as they destroyed him, "Gear Volt Hammer!"
"Gearbreaker!"
"Agh, I have... been perished..." Count said as he got destroyed.
"No! My servant!" She yelled.
"Sorry, but your servant can no longer protect you this time. Let's have the Final Phase!" She declared.
"Minako is activating her Final Phase!" Kuguru said.
"Does that mean that she has an Impact card?" Noboru asked.
"She does. She got it when her Buddy evolved." Gaito said.
"And now we will get to see it." Abygale said.
I can only cast this card if I have a size 2 or smaller monster on the right and if I have a "Mechanic" or "Battle Aura" item equipped, and if you have no monster in the center!" Minako explained.
"That means she'll be able to activate it!" Gao said.
"Hmph, I must admit. Gaito's girlfriend is really something huh?" Batzz said.
"Yeah. She's really good!" Chibi Panda complimented.
"I pay 3 gauge and return 5 of my monsters from the Drop Zone to the bottom of the deck. Then you'll take damage equal to the number of cards returned and it cannot be reduced!" She said as Minako activates her impact, she throws her item into the air, then Aria on her right uses their power to gather many machine parts and combine with the item to create a steampunk style cannon with a silver cannon cylinder, a revolver-like chamber, and a pistol grip, and the Minako gains visor glasses to help lock on to a target, then while she locks-on to the opponent.
"No no no! This isn't how my destiny suppose to be!" She yelled.
"Sorry but destinies can be changed! I cast!" The chamber spins rapidly while collecting energy, "Impact! Full Steam Rail-Cannon!" She fired an electrical laser at Kurotama, blowing her away, dealing her 5 damage.
"In another exciting Buddyfight match, Minako was up against a weird girl who has the 8th grade syndrome! But her deck is filled with monsters with Spectral Strikes! Giving her the advantage! But the tables have turned since Minako is able to defend herself and use her Impact card to defeat her once and for all! Now that's settled, let's see what we have next for more excitement!"
At the Buddy Police HQ...
"Huh? You want me to find an opponent for Haruka?" Daisuke asked as Gao and his Buddy came by with a request.
"Yeah." Gao nodded.
"But why?"
"Here's the thing. Your little sister there wanted to try out her deck." Batzz said.
"Since her Buddy evolved and became part of the Thunder Empire. She wanted to give it a try." Chibi Panda explained.
"So why not test it on you guys?" Daisuke asked.
"Yeah, well..." Gao wanted to explained as he recalled the time.
At the CASTLE Card Shop, Haruka asked for a request.
"You want a what?" Gao asked.
"An opponent. Someone new!" Haruka said.
"Hold on, why would you want a new opponent?" Noboru asked.
"I wanna test my new deck that Baku made for me!" Haruka explained.
"It's true, bro." Baku said, "I made her a new deck since her Buddy, Sybel evolved."
"And now she want to test it on someone." Kuguru said as she gave a rub on her head.
"So why not try it on us?" Noboru asked as Haruka puffed.
"I already played with you guys before. I wanna try on someone else!" She whined.
"Alright alright." Noboru said to calm her down, "So how are we going to find one for her?" Gao tries to think of an idea as he thought of it.
"I got it!"
"And that's why you wanted me to do it?" Daisuke said with a dull look on his face.
"Come on, you're her brother. Can't you make the effort of helping her out?" Gao said with a nervous look on his face.
"Look, this is the Buddy Police HQ, this is not some Lost-And-Found center. You really think that I would do that?"
"Look, young man. Just do us a favor, will ya?" Batzz said, "I wanna see how worthy her Buddy for being part of the Thunder Empire."
"Big Boss is right. We've seen most of the Thunder Empire monsters being called in battle, so we wanna see more of them in action." Chibi Panda said. Daisuke then started to think. He then typed something on the monitor.
"Uh, Daisuke?" Gao said as Daisuke found it.
"Ah, there's one."
"Huh?!" They got surprised as Daisuke sent a message to one.
"I sent the message to the fighter. The location will be at the CASTLE Card Shop like last time. It'll be in the afternoon."
"What are you getting at?" Batzz asked.
"Nothing. If she wants to test it out, be my guest." Daisuke said.
"Man, you're the best, Daisuke. I owe ya!" Gao said happily.
"Good. But I want to keep this as a secret from the others. Cause if you spill a bean..." He touch Gao's shoulder and gripped tightly, "You know what would you happen, right?" He said in a scary aura.
"Y-yes, sir." Gao said as he got very nervous.
At the CASTLE Card Shop...
"So you managed to find an opponent for Haruka?" Kuguru asked.
"Is that true, bro?" Baku asked.
"Yeah, I uh... found someone along the way and thinking that he would be perfect to fight Haruka." Gao explained.
"But who is he anyway?" Haruka asked.
"Just wait and see."
"I can guarantee! This kind of fighter would be suitable to fight you! Better enough to test out your deck along with your Buddy!" Chibi Panda said.
"Heh, I would like to see how your Buddy is meant to be the protector to the Thunder Empire." Batzz said.
"We shall see." Sybel said as she came out from Haruka's deck in her small form, "But my sworn duty is to be with Haruka and protect her, no matter what." Batzz then stared at her.
"Hmm..."
"Is there a reason why you're staring at me, Batzz?" Sybel asked.
"I've been wondering but are you her Buddy?" Batzz asked as everyone fell.
"Of course it's her Buddy, Batzz!" Gao yelled, "You saw her when she was getting evolved."
"Now that you mention it, I haven't seen her Buddy either." Chibi Panda said.
"Me neither." Kanata said.
"I agree with Kanata." Athora said.
"If I didn't know any better, I think everyone doesn't know about Haruka's Buddy." Baku said. It gave Haruka a shock as she got depressed in a state.
"Ah! We're sorry, Haruka! We didn't mean to say that, right?!" Gao apologized desperately and turned to his friends for help.
"Hm? Oh yeah. Sorry about that." Kanata said as he chuckled.
"This is no laughing matter you know." Noboru said.
"Putting all of this aside, is Haruka's opponent coming here yet, Gao?" Gaito asked.
"Should be any minute." Gao said as he looked at his phone.
"Hm? Is that him?" Kanata asked as he pointed out a guy wearing a dark red T-shirt and grey pants but he has a black hoodie with a silver tribal flame pattern design.
"That's supposed to be Haruka's opponent?" Gaito asked as they looked at Gao with disappointed look on their faces.
"Oh come on! At least it's someone different." Gao said.
"Maybe it's not a good choice for this guy." Batzz said.
"Come on, Big Boss. Look at the bright side, Haruka has a opponent to test out her deck." Chibi Panda said.
"He has a point. It doesn't matter who it is, as long as Haruka wants to try out her deck. Right?" Minako asked.
"True." Haruka said.
"Then let's call him." Gao recommended, "Hey!" Gao yelled out as the guy noticed Gao, waving at him to get his attention. He walked towards the group.
"Hello. Are you Gao Mikado? The one who requested me to come here?" The guy asked.
"Yep. That's me. I'm Gao Mikado!" Gao introduced himself.
"Hello. My name is Renzo Teragawa. But everyone calls me Ren. Um. It's nice to meet you." Ren said as he bowed.
"He seems to be a nice guy." Kanata said.
"Yeah, but he's not crazy like with Rika or working with the CHAOS Company like Slide." Noboru said.
"I don't think you need to worry, bro." Baku said.
"Yeah. Gao knows he's doing, right?" Kuguru asked.
"Huh? Oh yeah." Gao said as he walked to Ren, "Okay, Ren. I invited you here to challenge against this opponent here." He pointed at Haruka.
"Huh?" Ren was confused, "Her?" He asked as Gao nodded. But then Ren started to feel awkward.
"Is something wrong?" Gao wondered.
"Um, can you choose someone else? I don't... think I wanna." He refused as it surprised everyone.
"Huh?!"
"Wait. Are you trying to say no or something?" Noboru asked.
"Well... yeah."
"But why?" Kuguru asked.
"Well, the truth is..." He got flustered as he was tried to explain.
"Let me guess. Haruka is not the kind of opponent you wished to fight, isn't it?" Gaito assumed as Ren nodded.
"Yes. That's right." Ren said as everyone looked at Gao.
"Oh come on! I brought him here." Gao said.
"But you didn't tell him the opponent was Haruka, did you?" Minako asked.
"Well..." Gao was nervous. As everyone sighed.
"Now what?" Kanata said.
"We can't just let him leave." Athora said.
"He's right. It's a waste of time for him to be here for nothing." Abygale said. Then Kuguru shine her headlights.
"I've got an idea!" Kuguru said as she whispered to them. And then everyone agrees.
"Okay. Hey, Ren?" Gao said.
"Hm?"
"Tell you what. If you can battle Haruka for us. We'll let you have what you want in exchange." He explained.
"R-Really?" Ren asked.
"Cross my heart!"
"Oh..." Ren gave some though, "Okay. I guess I can do that."
At the Fighting Stage. Ren and Haruka are in position.
"Wherever there's a Buddyfight, you'll find me, Paruko Nanana! Arriving from the scene. It's our long awaited battle between Aibo Academy's student, Haruka Masamune and her Buddy who was now a part of the Thunder Empire. Overturn Magician Valkyrie, Sybel! Her opponent is Renzo Teragawa and his Buddy, Blade Beast of Blinder, Mikazuki Munechika. It's been so long since Haruka fights. Let's see how this battle will go on! Fighters! Luminize your decks!"
"Guardians of the sky, magicians of life, please grant my wishes! Luminize! Magicians of the Empire!"
"Warriors of the blade, confuse my enemies and cut them through fog! Luminize, Blade Beasts' Assault!"
"Buddyfight!"
"Let's Raise the Flag!"
"I'm fighting with Magic World!"
"I use Katana World!"
(H: 10/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/None)
(R: 10/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/None)
"Would you look at that?" Baku said after noticing something.
"What?" Noboru asked.
"Something's up with Ren." Kanata said.
"He's seems different all of the sudden." Athora said.
"Maybe Buddyfight changed his personality." Minako assumed.
"Could be. But why would that be possible?" Gaito asked.
"We'll have to wait and see." Abygale recommended.
"Renzo will make the first move!" Paruko announced.
"Call me Ren, will you?" He asked.
"Oh, sorry about that."
"Then I will Charge and Draw. I will start by casting a Set Spell known as, Secret Scroll. All my monsters that have Ninja attributes will gain 1000. And with its skill, during my Main Phase, I will pay one gauge to add one Ninja Arts card from my deck to my hand cards." He paid one gauge as he add one card.
"Wow, Ren started so easily." Gao admits.
"I wonder why it gave him that personality." Kuguru wondered.
"Whatever the reason, let's see if Haruka can turn the tables on that guy." Gao said.
"Next, I will call out to the left, Blade Beast of Ghostslash, Tojikiri Yasutsuna!" He calls out a monster that is a tall, brown wolf with red samurai armor with golden lining at the edge of the plating, along with a helm adorned with a purple paw insignia at the crown. His waist adorned with a violet sash and his katana held on the left side of his hip.
"Look at that." Noboru said as he was amazed at that monster.
"That monster looks like scary all of the sudden." Kanata said.
"Well they are Blade Beast. Animals that converge with weapons. They are strong warriors of Katana World." Athora explained.
"Oh man." Gao said as he was amazed, "Sound like my kind of opponent!"
"Activating Tojikiri's effect. I pay 2 gauge to add one Japanese Blade monster or item from my deck to my hand cards. And if I have a Japanese Blade from the Drop, it gets an additional critical. Now, go and attack the fighter." Tojikiri makes its attack as it attacked Haruka, inflicting 2 damage, "I end my turn."
(H: 8/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/None)
(R: 10/ Item: None/ G: 0: Tojikiri/None/None)
"In just one turn, he added two cards and dealt 2 damage at Haruka! Ren really knows how to play it good!" Paruko announced.
"Don't let it get you, Haruka!" Kuguru said.
"Yeah! Believe in the deck I built for you!" Baku said. Then Haruka turned to her friends as she smiled and nodded.
"Don't forget about me. I'm always here by your side." Sybel said.
"Thank you, Sybel. Then let's go! Draw! Charge and Draw! Okay! Let's see..." She starts to look at her hand cards.
"Milady." Sybel said to her.
"Yes, Sybel?"
"Put me in first." She recommended herself to be in battle.
"Huh? I can't do that right now, I'm saving you for later."
"But I must. I have evolved and must be in battle to win. Please allow me to fight." She said with determination.
"I know. That's why I'll make sure we'll be able to win for sure!" Haruka said with determination too, "I will first pay 1 gauge and life to equip Magician's Wand, Ala-kazam!" She equipped her medium sized, crimson red wand with a snow white crystal orb on top.
"On her first turn, Haruka has equipped her item. Let's see if she can handle it, folks." Paruko announced.
"Next, I will call out my Magician's Cat, Salim! To the left you go!" She calls out a medium size, male cat with dark purple fur, sky blue eyes and glowing white star tattoos on his body. Also he is adorned with midnight blue armor with pale yellow line markings for his chest, and his legs and a witch's hat with a magical eye in on the center.
"A cat?" Ren asked.
"Not just a cat! It's a Magician's Cat!" Haruka said, "Size 0! 3000 Power! 2000 Defense! And a critical of 1! With its skill, my item gains 3000 power and 1 additional critical!" Salim gave a magic spell on her wand as it gained a boost.
"Wow! She called a monster that will give her a boost and a additional critical! Let's see what she can do!" Paruko announced.
"I will attack you first! Ala-kazam!" She waves the wand and creates a red magic circle in front of them as it fires out knives of pure light at Ren, inflicting 3 damage, "Next, my little kitty! Attack!" Salim jumps to the air and uses his hat to fire magical flames at Ren, inflicting one damage.
"Wow! She managed to deal 4 damage in one turn!" Noboru said as he was amazed. Kuguru chuckled.
"That's my little Haruka." Kuguru said.
"Why would you say?" Gao asked.
"Oh right, you two are like sisters, huh, bro?" Baku wondered.
"You got a problem with that?" Kuguru asked as she pouted.
"No no. It's nothing." Baku said.
"I will end my turn!" Haruka declared.
(H: 7/ Item: Ala-kazam/ G: 2: Salim/None/None)
(R: 6/ Item: None/ G: 0: Tojikiri/None/None)
"Then it's my turn. I Draw. Charge and Draw. I pay one gauge and life to equip my Elite Sword, Odenta!" He paid one gauge and one life as he equipped a grey katana with a pattern of small, golden flames engraved into the blade.
"Just like that folks, he's also paying the price to equip his item!" Paruko announced.
"My sword can never been destroyed by your card effects. So no point trying to break it." Ren said.
"Does Haruka have any card in her deck that can destroy it?" Noboru asked as he wondered.
"No, bro. But she has something in her deck that can help for this." Baku said.
"Next, I will Buddycall my trusty warrior, Blade Beast of Blinder, Mikazuki Munechika to the right!" He paid one gauge and life to Buddycalled and regained one life back.
"I will help you!" Munechika jumped as he transforms to his true form. His true form is bipedal gray wolf who wears blue samurai armor with light flames sprouting from the arm and leg gauntlets of his armor. Wears a black, sleeveless bancho coat and keeps his sword at his left side.
"Whoa! Look at that! Now that's one fierce Blade Beast! Ren has brought out his strong Buddy!" Paruko announced. Then Haruka got nervous all of the sudden.
"Milady, is there something wrong?" Sybel asked.
"Oh, it's nothing, Sybel." She replied, 'I wanted to test out my deck on any opponent, but this guy seems strong. I wonder why Gao chose this guy.' She thinks.
"My Buddy is a Japanese Blade and Blade Beast attributes, Size 2, 5000 power, 1000 defense and a critical of 2. With his skill, if there are two or more different 《Japanese Blade》 in the drop zone, he gets an additional critical!"
"That means he'll deal 3 damage at her!" Noboru said.
"Wow, that Buddy must be strong." Gao said.
"Not sure if that ability can make him strong though." Kanata said.
"Don't underestimate this guy." Athora said.
"He's right. He must have some plan that can help him give him the advantage." Gaito said.
"Well whatever it is, that girl will protect herself no matter what." Minako said.
"Next, I will replace my set spell with another one. I cast the Set Spell, Voice of the Blade!" He replaced the set spell with Voice of the Blade.
"Did he just replace Secret Scroll with Voice of the Blade?! What is this guy thinking?!" Paruko announced.
"I don't get it. Why would you replace a Set Spell with another?" Haruka asked.
"Because my Set Spell has a useful ability, unlike my last one, this card can reduce the cost for my Blade Beast monsters by 1." He explained.
"That is useful." Haruka admits.
"Don't agree with him, milady." Sybel said.
"Oh, sorry." She chuckled.
"Next, I will send the top three cards from my deck to the Drop Zone." He sends the three cards to the Drop Zone, "And then I will add cards with Japanese Blade from the Drop Zone to my hand." He added the two cards to his hand.
"Ren has used his Set Spell's ability to send three cards to add two more from the Drop Zone. Hand in hand exchange, folks!" Paruko announced.
"What is he going to do with those two cards he added?" Noboru asked.
"Whatever it is, it doesn't look good for Haruka." Kanata said.
"Whatever the case. She'll have to prevent herself from getting beaten." Gaito said.
"Looks like Ren's getting all fired up all of the sudden!" Paruko announced, "He brought two monsters and brought out his item! Is this going to be his victory when he makes his attack?!"
"Milady." Sybel said.
"Don't worry, I'll be careful." Haruka said.
"Munechika! Attack the fighter!" Ren ordered his Buddy to attack.
"Milady! Defend yourself!" Sybel warned.
"Right! I cast! Hidden Trick, Mirror Veil!" She paid one gauge as she cast a white clear veil that is reflected like a mirror. It blocked the attack away.
"That spell card is special! Not only it reduces the damage. It can also force the opponent to discard a card if Haruka has a Magician item equipped!" Paruko announced as the attack hit at one of Ren's hand cards as it got destroyed.
"Whoa! That's one powerful spell card." Noboru said.
"You really did a good job, Baku." Gao complimented.
"Don't just thank me, bro. Haruka wanted to learn more about those cards. She's a talented Buddyfighter." Baku said.
"Don't get your hopes up. You take one damage now since my Buddy carries 3 with his effect." Ren said as Haruka took one damage, "Tojikiri! Juzumaru Tsunetsugu! Go attack the fighter!"
"Right!" Both of his monsters comes to attack her. Together, they inflicted 3 damage at her.
"Haruka!" Her friends yelled.
"And now it's my turn!" Ren said as he runs through the stage to attack, "Take this!" He slashed at her, inflicting one damage.
"That's four damage all together!" Noboru said.
"Haruka's gonna lose for certain." Kanata said.
"Don't lose hope on her, Kanata." Athora said.
"He's right. She's the sister of our best friend, Daisuke. If he taught her something, it's Buddyfight." Gao said.
"I cast! Clear Serenity!" He cast as he gained three gauge, "Let's go! Final Phase!" He declared.
"Oh no! Ren has just declared a Final Phase! Can Haruka protect herself?!" Paruko announced.
"This is bad!" Kuguru said.
"If her opponent's Impact can deal damage. She'll need to protect herself if that Impact doesn't have the ability to reduce or nullify!" Noboru said.
"She has to." Baku believed, "That deck can help her survived no matter what!"
"I pay 3 gauges and if I have five or more different 《Japanese Blade》 in my drop zone, my monsters on the field can attack again, including myself!" His Buddy and Tojikiri are in position to attack again, "Let's go, my friends! Blade Beast Formation Strike!"
"Yes, sir!" Both of the monsters and Ren are prepare to attack her again.
"No, Haruka!" Gao yelled as Haruka took the damage as it reaches 0.
"Oh no, poor Haruka. She was so close to winning. I feel sorry for her already." Paruko said as she wiped her tears.
"Takochu! Takochu!" Takosuke pointed something at Haruka.
"Huh?" Paruko looked as she noticed something, "What the?! How could her flag not be destroyed?! Her life is at 0 already!"
"I don't understand. Shouldn't she lose the game if her life's at 0?" Kanata wondered.
"Yeah, what gives?" Noboru asked.
"Baku?" Kuguru asked as Baku smiled.
"As the old saying goes, 'When there's a will, there's a way.' In other words, bro. She has another way to survive.
"I cast the card, Hidden Trick, Mirror Veil!" She cast the card.
"What?!" Ren was surprised.
"But I thought that spell card only reduces damage." Gaito assumed.
"Maybe there's another effect of that card." Abygale said.
"You mean something about her 0 life?" Minako asked.
"Could be."
"That spell doesn't only reduce the damage, it has an useful ability. When my life reaches 0, I can check the top card from my deck, f the revealed card is a spell, my life becomes 2! And if I have ten different -Magician- spells in the drop zone, I will gain an 1 life and gauge for each -Magician- card, I have on your field!" She explained.
"But that means..." Gao said.
"That card on the top of her deck will be a 50/50 chance." Chibi Panda said.
"If luck's on her side though. But I know her luck won't help easily." Batzz said..
"It doesn't matter. Because I know that Haruka will survive this turn!" Gao said as he believed in her.
"Here... I... go!" She checked the top card. She looked at it as she smiled, "Hooray, I did it!" She cheered and jumped for joy, "Look at this!" She revealed the top card as it revealed to be a spell.
"It's a spell, folks! What great luck! It's a miracle that Haruka has brought out a spell card!" Paruko announced as everyone was amazed.
"Impossible." Ren said.
"And now I got two life back!" Haruka's life was restored to 2, "But it looks like I don't have ten different Magician monsters from the Drop Zone. But this is more than enough."
"Heh, you may have survived, but you're not going to win on my next turn!" Ren said.
"I will try!"
"Then my turn is over."
(H: 2/ Item: Ala-kazam/ G: 2: Salim/None/None)
(R: 7/ Item: Odenta/ G: 0: Tojikiri/None/Munechika)
"What a stunning turn of events! Ren has used his Impact to attack again and was unsuccessfully beaten Haruka due to her Spell card that restore her life! But she only received 2! What can she do?!" Paruko announced.
Haruka sighed in relief that she managed to survive.
"We were lucky that we have another Spell card in your hand cards, milady." Sybel said.
"Yes, we have." Haruka said as she look at her friends as they were determine for her, "My friends always believed in me. That's why I will take the chance to win! Are you ready, Sybel?" She asked her Buddy.
"I am willingly to be at your service!"
"Alright! Let's go! Draw! Charge and Draw! This time, I'll bring out my Buddy! I Buddycall to the right! Overturn Magician Valkyrie, Sybel!" She Buddycalled as she regained one life
"As you wish!" Sybel jumped as she transformed to her true form. Her form became an original Valkyrie but the outfit to black with golden thunder bolt shaped accents. Carries a staff with two large thunder bolt points at each end, "I am the Guardian warrior of the Thunder Empire! Let the magic flow through me!"
"Would you look at that, folks! Haruka's Buddy became part of the Thunder Empires! I wonder what kind of Overturn ability does she have!" Paruko announced.
"Alright! Haruka brought her Buddy!" Noboru said as he was expecting.
"I wonder what kind of ability does Sybel have." Kuguru wondered.
"Let's wait and see, bro." Baku said.
"Size 2 Magician and Thunder Empire attributes! 4000 power! 2000 defense! And a critical of 2! First with her ability, when she's called to the field, I check the top 3 cards from my deck!" She checked the three cards, "I'll add one to my hand cards!" She added one card to her hand, "One to the gauge." She gained a gauge, "And the last one goes to the bottom of my deck!" She put the remaining card to the bottom of her deck, "Okay, Sybel! It's time! Overturn Magician Valkyrie!" She used her hand to create a symbol for Over, "Sybel! Go!" She created the symbol for turn, "Overturn! I pay 1 gauge and send the top card from my deck to the Drop Zone!" She paid one gauge and send the card to the Drop Zone. All monsters called with the Thunder Empire attribute are treated as size 0's and are unaffected by your spells and monster affects until the end of the turn! Sybel is only monster with the attribute so her size is now 0 and won't be destroyed or affected so easily!"
"My immortality will protect my lady!" Sybel said as she gained her absolute protection.
"Now that's an interesting Overturn ability! Her monster not only became a size 0. But became unaffected by anything this turn! She's really getting up her game!" Paruko announced.
"That's perfect!" Kuguru said.
"Yeah, now her Buddy won't leave the field or having her attacks getting blocked off." Kanata said.
"I have to admit, that girl's amazing." Minako admits.
"She's Daisuke's little sister. It doesn't make the difference for those two." Gaito said.
"And now let the show begin! I cast! Out of the Hat! I discard my entire hand and draw three cards when I have less than 6 life!" She discarded her hand as she draw 3 cards, "Then I gain a gauge for each Magician card I have when I equip my item!" She gained 3 gauges, "I call to the center, Master Magician, Dante!" She paid 3 gauges as she called a male magician around his early 30's. He has dark gray, slicked back hair and mustache, light blue eyes, and a fair skin tone. He wears a black tuxedo jacket and pants, underneath the jacket is a white dress shirt with a blue tie, white shoes and a top hat. His weapons is a magic cane that is also a scepter with a red orb on top. The spotlights have shown around Dante as the doves appears behind him.
"Ladies and gentleman! It is I, Dante, the Master Magician! It is a pleasure." He gave a bow as everybody was amazed and gave an applause.
"Wow! Her monster just gave an entrance! This is like Houdini when he made his entrance! Master Magicians are amazing!" Paruko announced. Ren then started to get interested.
"Wow, I never thought her monsters were so... amazing." Ren said.
"Dante is a size 3 Wizard Attribute, with 6000 power, 5000 defense and a critical of 2! My friends! Help me beat him!"
"Of course, milady!"
"As you wish!" Dante, Sybel and Salim joined together as they clashed their attacks at Ren, inflicting 5 damage together.
"That's nothing! On my next turn..." Ren was about to say.
"I won't let you use your next turn!" Haruka said as Ren got surprised.
"Huh?!"
"Let's go! Final Phase!" She declared.
"Now it's Haruka's turn for her Final Phase." Baku said.
"Come on, Haruka! You can do it!" Gao cheered. Haruka stretching her out with golden runes on her body, creating a mystical magic circle with a light blue background behind her.
"I will activate my Impact if my item is 3000 power or higher and I have four spell cards in the Drop Zone and you have no monsters in the center! I will return one spell card from my Drop Zone to my deck and pay 3 gauge!" She paid 3 gauge to activate. When her impact activates, golden runes of light begin to develop around Haruka's body as she chants and creates a large, pure white glowing, magic circle, then as she finishes her chant, she stretches her arms outward, "I cast! Impact!"
"Look at that! Her magic circle is so huge, she's shining bright like a golden aurora!" Paruko announced as everyone was amazed at Haruka's shine.
"Go! Brilliant Justice Circle!" She fires a multicolored sphere of light at Ren and exterminates him, inflicting 4 damage.
(H: 3/ Item: Ala-kazam/ G: 0: Salim/Dante/Sybel)
(R: 0/ Item: Odenta/ G: 0: Tojikiri/None/Munechika)
"Game End! Winner: Haruka Masamune!" Paruko declared, "What a brilliant show! This is one of the most amazing Buddyfight I've ever seen! As expected for the sister for the elite Buddyfighter, Daisuke Masamune!" Haruka felt happy as she jumped for joy.
"Yay! We finally did it! All of our hard work paid off!" Haruka said as she runs towards her Buddy and hugs her, "And it's all thanks to you, Sybel! You're the best!"
"It's a pleasure, Milady. I've always be at your side." Sybel said.
"So I lost..." Ren said as he was back to normal and sighed, "Oh well."
After the match ended, Ren and Haruka met up with the others.
"Congratulations, Haruka!" Kuguru said as she gave her a pat.
"Thanks, you guys! But I couldn't done without you. Especially you, Baku. My deck is gotten a lot better."
"Don't mention it, bro. I have made some upgrades on your deck so you'll be able to handle with Sybel." Baku said.
"That was a good match." Ren said as he came to them, "Thank you." He extended his hand to her as Haruka smiled and took his hand and shook.
"You're welcome! I'm glad to meet a new rival like you! Gao really did it well!" She complimented.
"Hm? But... Gao didn't send me the request. Daisuke did." Ren said.
"Huh?" Everyone excepted Gao and his Buddies are confused but they got surprised instead.
"What are you talking about?" Noboru asked, "What do you mean Daisuke is the one who send you the request?"
"Well. I received a message from Daisuke saying that he wants to head over to CASTLE to meet Gao Mikado. He said that Gao has someone here who is my opponent. I thought it was Tenka Gotsurugi. But I never thought it would be her." He explained as everyone turned to Gao. Gao nervously chuckled.
"Well..." He rubbed the back of his head, "Gotta go!" He ran off.
"Gao!" Everyone yelled.
At the Buddy Police HQ. Daisuke was busy on his work as he felt something.
"I feel like things are getting better but ended up complicated for Gao." Daisuke said.
"Do you think that they figured the secret by now?" Ryuuga asked.
"Oh I think they know already. And besides..." He said as he got a pile of paperwork with Tasuku in surveillance, "I got my hands full with problems here!"
"You should know better than to bend the rules, Daisuke. You're lucky that you didn't get demoted." Tasuku said.
"But it looks like it'll be awhile until things are settled for you and for Gao." Jack said as Tasuku chuckled.
"I believe so, Jack. But for one thing, Daisuke is really such a good friend to Gao." Tasuku said while looking at Daisuke, doing his paperwork.
Spotlight shown as Daisuke and Ryuusei appeared on stage.
"Welcome back to more Corner Time for me and Ryuusei!" Daisuke said.
"As you saw, it was a great match for his sister up against Ren." Ryuusei said.
"Yeah, but we got in trouble anyway. For next chapter, Gao and the others are gonna inflitrate the Grimoire Park. Looks like they need to uncover the secrets from Wisdom. Give us a review of what you think and provide us with more card ideas. Til then bye for now!" They waved goodbye as the screen faded black.
