Chapter 47: The Attack of the Clone Gao

"Last time on Buddyfight X!" Chibi Panda said as he raised his sword out, "Kiri came to Earth to Buddyfight with Gao and Big Boss! And thanks to Big Boss's Overturn and Gao's X Tempest Ulti-Buster. They main him! I think Gao is back to his old self again! While that was going on. Wisdom lost control of Geargod." He said as the clone of Gao appeared, 'Huh? Who are you?! Why do you look like Gao!" He swings his sword but the Gao clone push him away.

At the hidden cave in the abyss of the ocean, Geargod is doing maintenance work on the clone of Gao.

"Awaken." Geargod said as the clone hasn't move, "Awaken!" The clone raise up as the data was being downloading into him, "Good. Now go to these coordinates and collect as much data as possible!" He ordered the clone as the clone smiled.

The next day at the Mikado Residence...

"Okay, I'm out!" Gao rushes off to school. Gao doesn't noticed that his clone is analyzing him while running.

"Aww come on. We're almost ready to the next level." Chibi Panda complained to Batzz as they walked to follow Gao to school.

"No!" Batzz said as they got analyzed too, "No more video games! We're going to Gao's school."

"But there's nothing for us to do there!" Chibi Panda then realized, "Wait, don't tell me you're gotta go on a rampage like last time!" Then the clone of Gao hovers down.

"And what if I do?" Batzz asked as the clone of Gao saw the house and enters in. Gao's grandmother drinks tea in the living room but doesn't notice the clone enters in. The clone analyzed Gao's bedroom. Then Suzune comes up and saw the clone in Gao's bedroom.

"Gao? Did you forget something?" She asked after noticing him, "Hello? Earth to Gao." The clone turns his head to the back as he flashes his eyes and freaks out Suzune. The clone walks toward her as she faints.

Along the way to school. Gao stopped as he noticed something.

"Kid! What's first class?" Batzz asked.

"Hey guys. You didn't have to come." Gao said for consideration.

"Yeah well, tell that to Big Boss Party Pooper over here!" Chibi Panda said.

"See what I have to put up with?" Batzz said.

"What's with all the hubba?" Gao asked as he noticed a group of students gathering in line.

"One at the time, people! Put the bags in the conveyor!" Shido yelled out as the security is doing the bag check as a checkpoint for the students but the students are complaining for this.

"What gives, shii! Why'd you search the all kids' bags all of the sudden?" Gallow asked.

"A simple tim like you wouldn't understand, Gallows. But as a leader, I must flex my power now and then to keep the foolish masses in line." Shido explained.

"Oh, is that so?" Gao asked as Shido heard his voice.

"Mikado! How dare you! You were eavesdropping on my conversation were you!" He complained.

"Uh, something about flexing your massive foolishness to the students in line?" Gao assumed.

"That's not what I said!"

"Either that or you called us foolish and you wouldn't do that, would you?" Gao stared at Shido.

"He had it right the first time." Gallows said.

"I was merely explaining the new school protocol!" Shido gave an excuse, "We're searching everyone's personal belongings to maintain the utmost safely at our school!" He explained while Batzz and Chibi Panda sneakily pushes the students away from the checkpoint.

"I see. A real foolproof plan, huh?" Gao asked.

"Oh you got that right. Now get going to class or you'll be late." He advised.

"Don't you want to check my bag?" He sarcastically asked.

"Let's say you get a special exemption this time." He allowed.

"Alright!" Gao then runs to class.

"Bye."

"Keep up the good work!" Gao said as Shido sighed in relief.

"Ok now, everybody put your bags in the..." As he was about to order the students, he noticed the students are gone already without any inspection, "Why doesn't anybody listen to me?!" He yelled as the clone of Gao appeared as he walk toward him and Shido noticed, "I... uh... You just want inside a second ago!" He said while the clone analyzed Shido and the security checkpoint, "How could you be arriving from over there?!" After he's done analyzing, he looked at Shido, "Are you feeling okay? You're acting a little strange." The clone then raised his fist as he uppercut at Shido and Shido landed into the bushes. Then the clone went towards the school.

Back at the Mikado Residence. Gao's grandmother was poking at Suzune while she was unconscious with the laundry as she just woke up.

"Huh?" Suzune then got up, "What happened? I had a strange dream." She wondered as her mother whispered to her of how long she was unconscious, "What?! It's that late already?!" She said as she gets up, "I have to hurry and prepare lunch!"

Back at school as the bell rung for class. It was gym class as Kanata was playing soccer with Gaito and Noboru and Baku.

"That's it!" Baku said as he was exhausted from playing soccer.

"Listen up, you guys!" Batzz said as he, Chibi Panda along with Gao and Zanya came back.

"Zanya has something to tell you!" Chibi Panda yelled as it got their attention.

"There's something I have to discuss with you all." Zanya said.

"Let's meet on the roof after last period!" Gao yelled out.

"Ok!" Noboru yelled out as they continued playing.

"Don't forget!"

"Take it, Kanata!" Gaito passed the ball to Kanata as Kanata shoots the ball as the ball strikes through the net.

"Did you see that shot?" Athora said as he was amazed of Kanata's shooting the ball.

"That was a great assist, Gaito!" Abygale cheered.

"Good going, Gaito!" Minako cheered. Then the ball reached towards Gao. But it was the fake Gao that hit Shido a while ago.

"Gao?" Baku asked as he noticed Gao was there.

"Aren't we suppose to meet him after school?" Noboru asked.

"Hey, what's going on?" Minako came to them after seeing Gao.

"Gao, pass the ball over there." Kanata said as the fake Gao shoots the ball ahead as it goes fast on the side of them and skids over the wall of the school and disappears. Noboru and Baku and Minako were shocked but Gaito has a clueless look and Kanata applaud after witnessing that.

"What incredible power." Gaito said.

"Power? He could've almost struck us with that kind of power!" Minako yelled.

"Even I couldn't pulled that off." Kanata said. Kanata then looked at the fake Gao as he walked away, "Gao?" The students were scared all of the sudden as they avoided him. Minako looked at the fake Gao as she noticed something.

"Gao... Why do I feel like that emotion is somehow similar to what happened to my sister...?" Minako said quietly.

At the back of the school, Gao and Zanya along with the buddies met up with Tetsuya and Asmodai.

"Count Tetsuya and I in." Asmodai said as he agreed with what they're discussing.

"Yeah, chilling with the homies sounds super fly yo!" Tetsuya said.

"I'll explain everything to you then." Zanya said.

"Catch you on the flip side!" Gao gave a thumb up.

"Not if I catch you first!" Tetsuya said as they left.

"Now, back to dancing!" Asmodai said as they continue dancing.

"Let's jam out to the robot dance!"

"With Demon Lord, Asmodai, you'll feel the burn! Cause I got the power of Overturn! I'm stronger than ever you know!" Asmodai said while in rhythm as the fake Gao appear out of nowhere.

"What gives? You forgot something, yo?" Tetsuya asked the fake Gao.

"Come on, Gao! Bust a move!" Asmodai said as they continued dancing as the fake Gao joins in the dance but in a different way. They were amazed as the fake Gao danced away.

"Whoa! Your styling's off the chain, yo!" Tetsuya was amazed at the dance moves but Asmodai got curious.

"Is something off of him?" He wondered.

Later, at the classroom hallway...

The fake Gao was analyzing the areas in the hallway.

'Phase One successful!' Geargod said communicating in the fake Gao's system, 'Hide yourself until Phase Two commences!' Geargod ordered. At one of the classrooms, the door opens as Gaito, Minako, Tetsuya and Kanata peaked out, watching the fake Gao walking away.

"There he is." Minako said.

"He docked into the bathroom." Gaito said after seeing where he goes. Tetsuya then thinks.

"Hmm. He'd definitely been acting wack, yo." Tetsuya said.

"Not just wack, he's crazily strong. Did you see the way he shot that ball away from that kick?" Minako said.

"Why doesn't one of us just go and talk to him?" Kanata suggested.

"You kidding, right? That guy is somehow acting weird, I don't think he would be in a talkative mood." Minako said as she crossed her arms.

"She's right. Having good ideas is not your destiny." Gaito said.

In the boys' restroom, the real Gao is washing his hand at the sink. Meanwhile, the fake Gao came in as he was heading in one of the stalls. After Gao dried his hands, he hear one of the stall door closed. He thought something was there but he guess it was his imagination. Afterwards, the fake Gao is sitting on the toilet while awaiting instructions from Geargod as he shuts down.

The others still waiting as they saw Gao came out but it was the real Gao, not the fake one.

"There he is!" Kanata said.

"What do we do?!" Minako said.

"Hush!" Gaito said as Gao heard something and saw his friends.

"Hey, guys." Gao said as they got nervous after being spotted by Gao, "What are you doing?" He asked as they came out.

"Uh, research." Kanata answered.

"Uh, schoolwork." Gaito answered.

"Uh, after school club project." Minako answered.

"A group project for social, yo." Tetsuya answered as well.

"Kay..." Gao said after being confused for their answer.

Later, at the school rooftop, Zanya explains to the group...

"You're probably wondering why I'd ask you all to come." Zanya said, "I've been secretly investigating the CHAOS Control Company." He explained as it surprised everyone, "Their island headquarters is still off limits to the public. The press and even the police are forbidden entry without special written authorization."

"What about the Buddy Police, bro?" Baku asked.

"Them too, I'm afraid." Zanya answered as it surprised them.

"But that's not right." Kuguru said.

"Yeah, that's not fair!" Haruka said.

"They shouldn't be allowed to get away with this!" Noboru complained.

"The world we lived in is easily manipulated." Zanya said.

"What do you mean?" Kuguru asked.

"With his Buddy Checker app crisis, Wisdom gained the trust of people. Now he's seen as a hero who saved many monsters." Zanya explained the issue of the past.

"Pretty slick. Now not even the Buddy Police can stand up to him without getting flat from his loyal public, bro." Baku said.

"That's true, my brother does have issues with dealing with this. I don't want him to suffer again after what happened." Haruka said.

"That's what he's banking on." Zanya said as Noboru slammed his fist to his hand.

"But if the Buddy Police aren't checking up on him, then the creep can do whatever he wants!" Noboru said.

"Creating the worst possible scenario may be his destiny." Gaito said.

"And my sister... She'll never be freed from Wisdom's hands again." Minako said.

"Don't worry, Minako. We will save your sister. Not matter what." Gaito tried to comfort his girlfriend.

"Gaito..."

"I'm sure as we stand here, they're working on repairing and upgrading Geargod." Abygale believed.

"Yeah, and speaking of Geargod..." Kanata said as he recalled the time when Geargod went berserk, "Why did it go out of control back at the island?"

"I was unable to find that information." Zanya said as his Buddy opened his scroll for, 'Cause unknown.'

"That's what they're hiding!" Chibi Panda said, "I guess."

"Then we all still have some work to do." Batzz said with confidence. And then everyone except Gao gave some thoughts as Gao stands up from his seat.

"Hey, I got a great idea, you guys! Hear me out! As long as we're together, let's have a group Buddyfight!" Gao suggested as everyone agreed for Gao's idea.

"You gotta give me back my card." Noboru said.

At the Aibo Academy Fighting Stage...

"Buddyfight with me first, Gao!" Kanata requested.

"You got it, man!" Gao agreed.

Everyone cheered while Gao and Kanata are luminizing their decks.

"Rumble and tremble! The dragon's roar that shudders the earth! Luminize! Thunderous Warlords Alliance!"

"Kick of to the far reaches of space! Right now, our brilliance exceeds even the Milky Way Galaxy! Luminize! Dragon Sentinels!"

"Buddyfight!"

"Time to Raise the Flag!"

"Thunder Emperor's Fangs!"

"I'm with Star Dragon World!"

(G: 11/ Item: None/ G:1: None/None/None)

(K: 10/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/None)

"What a surprise! Gao Mikado vs Kanata Ozora! It feels like forever since these two fighters last face each other!" Paruko announced while everyone kept cheering.

"I Buddycall Heavenly Crystal Dragon, Aldo Athora!" He Buddycalled as he paid one gauge and gained one life due to Buddy Gift.

"We got him this time!" Athora jumped as he transforms to his true form, "With my Overturn, there's no stopping us!"

"Equip!" Kanata paid one gauge to equip his item, "Crystal Grieves! Now it's kickoff time!"

Meanwhile outside of Aibo Academy, Shido came by as he was walking in injured condition while walking with a wooden stick.

"I'll expel Mikado for this!"

Later...

"How will Gao counter Aldo Athora's Great Wall of Defense?!" Paruko announced.

"It's really looking forward to fighting you again, Gao!" Kanata said as he prepared his action, "Heavenly Crystal!" Kanata made the sign for Over, "Aldo Athora!" He made the sign for Turn, "Overturn!' He made Overturn, "With Aldo Athora's Overturn, I pay one hand card and one gauge!" He paid the cost, "Which means... During this turn, no attack can destroy him!" He explained.

Gao then growled, "Oh man!" Gao tried to make his attack but failed after getting blocked off.

"Athora's Overturn can't be beat!" Paruko announced as Gao takes one damage due to the Overturn effect.

"I've got you now!" Kanata said.

"Dang!" Gao complained.

"It's a pretty even match." Kuguru said.

"Yeah, the battle could go on either way, bro." Baku said.

"I can't wait until it's my turn." Noboru said.

"I want to challenge Gao first!" Haruka said.

"Final Phase!" Kanata declared.

"No way!" Gao said as Kanata gained two gauge due to his item's effect.

"With Crystal Grieves' effect, my gauge goes up by two!"

"Kanata is setting up for a certain victory!" Paruko announced as Gao grunted in frustation.

"Here's the card that's gonna finally defeat you, Gao! I cast!" He activate it as his item transforms to a prism version of his item, and he bears a mark on his left cheek. And then they are transported to the soccer field, "Direct!" He shoots the ball to his Buddy as Athora headbutted the ball back to him, "Dynamic..." He repeat it again until its grow bigger, "Diamond..." He repeated one more time.

"That's it!" Athora brings it back to Kanata.

"Overhead!" He shoots the giant ball to Gao as it defeats him.

(G: 0/ Item: Dragoroyale/ G:1: None/None/None)

(K: 10/ Item: Crystal Grieves/ G: 2: None/None/None)

"Game End! Winner: Kanata Ozora!" Paruko announced as the crowd cheered for his victory, "Amazing! Kanata Ozora defeated the champion of the World Buddy Master's Gao Mikado!"

Gao walked to Kanata, "Wow, I gotta hand it to you. Why don't we fight again, huh?!" He requested in excitement.

"Yeah, I'd love to." Kanata agreed.

"Now wait just a minute!" They heard someone as it was Shido coming through the Fighting Stage.

"What happened to him?" Batzz asked after seeing Shido's injured chin.

"Maybe Gallows hit him?" Chibi Panda assumed.

"Gao Mikado! You assaulted me! Your Student Council President! And you will be held accountable!" He complained while still in pain.

"What are you talking about?" Gao was confused.

"Don't play innocent with me, young man!" Shido yelled as he pointed his chin, "My bruised chin is eradicable proof!"

"Gao would never do such a thing." Batzz said.

"You lie! You odd yet interesting human!" Chibi Panda insulted in a nice way.

"How dare you! No one calls me a liar!"

"Well, if the shoe fits." Gao said as he believed Shido is sometimes a liar as it got Shido angry.

"Just settle it with a Buddyfight." Kanata made a solution for those two, "A fighter's heart is pure during a Buddyfight match, right? So we'll be able to figure out which one of you is lying right away."

"I accept the challenge!" Shido accepts.

"So do I." Gao agreed as they glared at each other.

Later. Everyone then cheered for another match but this time with Gao against Shido.

"With the whole school as my witness, today's the day I finally defeat you Mikado!" Shido said.

"You and what army, Hall Monitor!" Batzz complained.

"Rumble and tremble! The dragon's roar that shudders the earth! Luminize! Thunderous Warlords Alliance!"

"Need defeated by your power! Luminize! Succumb to a Marionette Death!

"Buddyfight!"

"Time to raise the Flag!"

"Thunder Emperor's Fangs!"

"I'm with Darkness Dragon World!"

(G: 11/ Item: None/ G:1: None/None/None)

(S: 10/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/None)

"Student Council President Shido's accused Gao Mikado attacking him, which Gao denies! Innocence hangs in the balance of this Buddyfight of justice!" Paruko announced.

Meanwhile, Geargod is awakened.

"Awake! It is time for Phase 2 to commence!" Geargod ordered.

At the restroom, the fake Gao was awoke and awaits orders from Geargod.

Back at the Fighting Stage...

"President Shido must have had some bad luck with his hand cards because he has end his turn without calling anything at all!" Paruko announced as Shido ended his turn with nothing to bring for an attack.

"Why do these things always happen to me!" Shido yelled in tears.

"My turn!" Gao pulled the lever as his belt turned sideways, "Draw! Charge and Draw! Alright!" He drew the card he needs, "Equip Demon Lord Sword, Dragoroyale!" He paid one life to equip his item, "Call Saint Holy Sword Dragon to the left!" He paid one gauge to bring him out to the left.

"Gao's innocent!"

"And I Buddycall the most powerful Buddy!" He paid two gauge to Buddycall, "Thunder Emperor Dragon, Barlbatzz to the right!" He Buddycalled as he regained one life due to Buddy Gift.

"I'm gonna beat you, black and blue, greedo!" Batzz jumped as he transforms to his true form, "And prove that you're lying!"

"Looks like Gao's gonna use his tried-and-true formation to attack President Shido!" Paruko announced as Gao makes his attack as he jumps and attacks Shido, inflicting two damage.

"What do you mean, acting weird?" Baku asked as Tetsuya mentioned it.

"It could've just been our imaginations, yo." Tetsuya said.

"Not so sure about that." Gaito said.

"He's right. There's something different about him ever since we saw Gao today." Minako said.

"Could it be connected to the person who attacked Shido? I wonder." Zanya believed.

"Now I Buddycall Bone Master, Rebel Gallows to the right position!" Shido Buddycalled as he regained one life due to Buddy Gift.

Gallows laughs as he jumps and transform to his true form, "I'll control you like a hand puppet!"

"Activate Gallows' ability! He controls Barlbatzz and makes him attack the fighter." Shido explains as Gallows used his ability on Batzz.

"Batzz, you're about to start my puppet theater!" Gallows said as he used his strings to control Batzz.

"Run... kid!" Batzz warned as he can't control himself and attacks Gao.

"Under Rebel Gallows' control, Batzz chips away at Gao's life!" Paruko announced as Gao got him with two damage from his Buddy.

"Oh, you'll rue the day you called me a liar, Mikado!" Shido said angrily.

"Shido looks very angry." Haruka said.

"Well, what do you all think?" Zanya asked the group.

"I sense no evil intent from Shido." Gaito sensed.

"So does that mean that he's actually telling the truth for once?" Minako asked.

"Yeah, I think he's being honest about what happened." Kanata said.

"So you guys think that Gao really attacked President Shido?" Kuguru asked. Zanya then thinks.

"Thunder Emperor Dragon!" Gao made the sign for Over, "Barlbatzz!" He made the sign for Turn, "Overturn! I discard my hand card and gauge to make all my cards able to attack again!"

"Batzz's Overturn is here!" Paruko announced, "Does this mean Shido's defeat is inevitable?!"

"There's something I can still do!" Shido thought of something, "I have to try it. Bone Master!" Shido did the sign for Over, "Rebel Gallows!" He did the sign for Turn, "Overturn!"

"What a turn of events! Rebel Gallows has the power of Overturn too?!" Paruko announced surprisingly.

"The truth will prevail!" Shido said as Gao got a little nervous. However...

"Overturn?! I don't have that." Gallows said as it got them in awkward mood.

"Well, it was exciting for a second." Kuguru said as Shido and Gao fell for an embarrassment.

"If I can't win this match, then everyone will think I'm a liar!" Shido yelled as Gao noticed Shido is getting desperate, "I can't lose! Cause Gao really did attack me!"

"He's not lying." Gao said after seeing Shido.

"Oh no, Shido is getting desperate over there." Haruka said.

"He's probably thought someone else was Gao." Baku believed.

"But Shido says it was definitely Gao that hit him." Kuguru deduced.

"Maybe it's Gao's evil doppelganger, yo!" Tetsuya believed, "I saw that in a choice movie once!"

Noboru chuckled, "I saw it too."

"Time for Final Phase!" Gao declared as it scared Shido.

"This doesn't look good!" Shido said as Gao activates his Final Phase.

"Eclipsing the darkness with flames. And brighten the hearts of the mistreated! The Mighty Sun Fighter is here!"

"What'd I do?!" Shido said as he panics, "What'd I do?!" Batzz then raise down his weapon as he transforms into a Thunder Spear. Gao then leaps on and spins the lance around until it charges up.

"Impact!" Gao throws the spears as it hits Shido, "Turbulent Thunder Spear! X-Tempest Ulti-Buster!" He finishes off Shido.

(G: 9/ Item: Dragoroyale/ G:0: Saint Holy Sword/None/Barlbatzz)

(S: 0/ Item: None/ G: 2: None/None/Gallows)

"Game End! Winner: Gao Mikado!" Paruko declared as everyone cheered for Gao's victory.

"Thanks! The truth will set you free." Gao said.

Outside, near the bench, Shido felt lost as he will be branded as a liar forever.

"I did nothing wrong and yet nobody will ever believe me." Shido said as Gao and his friends came to him, "Huh? Did you come to gloat, Mikado?"

"I came to say I'm sorry, Shido." Gao apologized.

"Huh?" Shido was confused.

"While fighting against you, I could tell you weren't lying. I'm sorry for doubting you. Please forgive me." Gao bowed in apologetic. Shido was amazed that Gao actually apologized for once as he got blushed and turned his head.

"As long as the truth is known!" Shido said.

"Oh, it is." Gao said.

"Uh, hey!" Baku yelled as he noticed something, "Look at that!" He pointed out as the group turned and saw the fake Gao appeared, walking at the courtyard. The fake Gao stopped and turns his head towards the group.

"Oh there are two Gaos!" Chibi Panda said after noticing it.

"Wait does that mean it's Gao's doppelganger?!" Haruka said.

"Tetsuya was right." Noboru said as the fake Gao turns and leaves.

"What is that?" Athora asked.

"I have no idea." Abygale said.

"Hey! Get back here!" Gao yelled as he goes after his faker, "Stop! I'm talking to you, man!" The fake Gao stopped as it turned his head around in 90 degrees as he flashes his eyes and it surprised everyone.

"Stand back, kid!" Batzz yelled as he jumps and transforms to his true form and attacks the fake Gao but the fake Gao jumps to avoid the attack and landed on Batzz's right leg, "Uh oh." Then the fake Gao throws Batzz down to the ground. It surprised Chibi Panda.

"Tossed him like a rag doll!" Athora said after witnessing the event.

"What incredible power!" Abygale said.

"You can't treat a fellow Demon Lord like that!" Asmodai yelled and he comes and fights the fake Gao but every time Asmodai throw his punches, the fake Gao dodges. Then the fake Gao used his laser beam from eyes and hits Asmodai.

"No! A-dog!" Tetsuya yelled as Asmodai fell to the ground. Then the fake Gao flies away.

"He's getting away!" Minako yelled.

"After him!" Gaito yelled out.

"Don't let him escape!" Kanata said.

"Come on, say something, A-dog!" Tetsuya said after checking his Buddy with Zanya helping him out.

"Go get him, I'll stay here!" Zanya said.

"Okay!" Gao said as they have gone after him.

Back to Geargod. He suddenly move out from undersea cave and leaves.

At the Grimoire Park...

"Geargod's location is still unknown. And there's something else, Master." Grimoire explained, "On your orders, I reviewed the update log history and found something."

"You found the cause of Geargod developing this soul of his?" Wisdom asked.

'Yes. Deep within the layers of coding Geargod's A.I. I discovered a secret dormant program for reasons unclear as of yet, it was designed to activate only when Geargod achieved it's ultimate upgraded form." He explained on screen about Geargod's cause.

"Some hidden program no one knew everything about cause Geargod to develop a soul. Do you know who implant such a bizarre program?"

"A theory." Grimoire smiled, "The founder of your clan. The great original Master Wisdom."

"But why would he add a function like that?"

"Thinking for itself serves no purpose. Speaking of which. Has the issue with Tenko been resolved?"

"Yes, Master. The flaw has been fixed."

"Do you know the cause of it?"

"It appears it happens when you used her mask in order to stop Geargod from going to berserk. It must've trigger shutdown system when it was overused."

"I see. Then we better make sure not to do that again, she is a valuable asset to us. I don't plan on letting her go." He gripped his hands, "And make sure to erase the memory of that time when she disobeyed my orders."

"As you wish."

Meanwhile, the Buddies transforms to their true forms as Gao and his friends are going after the fake Gao. Then afterwards, they headed to the Ocean Fighting Stage where they noticed Geargod was there too.

"It's Geargod!" Gao said after noticing.

"Freak finally shows his face!" Batzz said as Geargod was busy programming the fake God.

"Commence transfer of artificial personality program!" Geargod activated the program.

"What are you doing?!" Batzz yelled as Geargod completed the transfer.

"Transfer complete. Activating program." The fake Gao was reborn with the same armor that Gao used for his Final Phase but the core deck is light blue and the Core Gadget is black and white version of Gao's, "Awake. Open your eyes." The fake Gao opens his eyes as it was same color from the Final Phase too. He then landed on Geargod.

"Monsters are taking over humans! Watch out! CHAOS Gao is here!" He introduced himself.

"He's just... like me." Gao said as it surprised the others.

"That's right! Geargod created me to be his new Buddy and no one's stronger than me!" CHAOS Gao boasted.

"We're made to be seen!" Batzz said.

"What happened to Wisdom?" Gao asked as Geargod is silent to answer, "I thought that Wisdom was your Buddy!" He yelled as Geargod still won't reply to the answer.

"Don't get bogged down in details. Have a Buddyfight with us and see who's the strongest!" CHAOS Gao demanded.

"What do you think we should do, Gao?" Saint Holy Sword asked.

"Nothing to think about! Am I right?" Batzz asked.

"You know it. Here's my chance. To defeat Geargod." Gao said as they are in position to start their Buddy. Then Paruko warped to the Fighting Stage.

"I don't usually call 3 Buddyfights in one day but when a match like this comes along how can I refuse?! A showdown between Gao Mikado and Geargod Ver.099! And Geargod's Buddy, a clone of Gao is a mysterious fighter who calls himself CHAOS Gao!" Paruko announced.

"Rumble and tremble! The dragon's roar that shudders the earth! Luminize! Thunderous Warlords Alliance!"

"Crumble and Shatter! The dragon's claws that raze the earth! Luminize! Autodeity Army of Havoc!"

"Both Buddyfighters are ready for the match." Paruko announced as the stage has been set in place, "Buddyfight!"

"Time to raise the Flag!"

"Thunder Emperor's Fangs!" He then noticed what flag that CHAOS Gao used as he surprised and CHAOS Gao smiled.

Spotlight shown as Daisuke and Ryuusei appears on stage.

"Welcome back for more Corner Time! It's been a long time but we managed anyways for this chapter, here's another card we can show! Ready, Ryuusei?"

"Ready!" He raise the curtain as it shows the card, it shows a tall, Blue scaled humanoid Dragon Monster like Ryu, With Light Grey Mechanical Armor with Dark Blue Energy running through it's Armor and Green Crystal Horns. He has A mechanical Jetpack with Bladed wings of Dark Blue Light on the sides of the jetpack. He has A Dark blue core in his Chest, that he uses to fire his Radiant Astral Beam and is used As a crossnize port. He also has 2 Giant mechanical gauntlets on his shoulders with laser Gun fingers that he can fuse to his fists.

"This is for the future story for this monster for the Astronomic deck, this is called Astronomic Fighter, Neo Daigo. In other words, this is Daigo's evolution! He has many interesting abilities, he gains 2000 power when he attacks, he has a changing ability called Astral Shift when he does, he can reduce the power and defense by 3000 and 1 critial for the opponent's monster."

"Wow, my apprentice has grown stronger. I wonder if there are others..."

"We will see. The next chapter will be Gao battling against his clone. Please kindly give us a review and provide more for Astronomic ideas until then bye for now!" They waved goodbye as the screen faded black.
