Synopsis: Having heard that his former companions arrived, Hou Ren felt absolutely enraged. He sends an opponent to deal with them.
Daryl: (Narrates as a flashback sequence was shown) Once, there was a great man. But he was seen as a troublemaker. Now he has fallen and it's up to us to bring him back.
All: (Heroic Pose) LET'S BUDDYFIGHT.
Anime Opening: Knock On Your Gate.
A Hologram Of the Young King has appears before the fighters. Feeling disgusted, Hou Ren looks at them with unclouded eyes. Gwen however, felt worried as she sees him.
Gwen: Hou Ren....is that you?
Daryl: We don't want to fight.
Hou Ren's Father: We just want to talk.
Hou Ren: Talk about what? You invaded my turf, broke into my House and you expect me to trust you?
Hou Ren's Mother: Please, we want to help you.
Hou Ren: Yeah okay I'll accept you help...By Getting Rid Of You!!!
Gwen: But...
Hou Ren: If you want to see me so badly, defeat my brothers first. Then perhaps I'll throw in the towel. Good Day. (disappears)
Ranma: Oh man, what happened to you?
Light: Guess we must fight him.
Tasuku: Alright then.... who's our first opponent?
???: THAT WOULD BE ME.
Trickstar appears before them via teleportation. He's in his true form. Orange T shirt. White Sleeveless Jacket. Light Brown Jeans. Orange Sneakers and Wrist Pads. Plus an Orange Headband.
(Slight Note: True form means actual casual clothes)
Tasuku: Trickstar.....
Trickstar: I can't believe you all. You dare interfere and stick your nose where it doesn't belong? What more do you want from us?
Everyone stares in worry.
Trickstar: But it's fine. I get to test out something new. And You lot will be my guinea pigs.
Daryl: Then I'll be your opponent. How's that?
Masato: Daryl?
Trickstar: So be it. Allow me to set the field.
Trickstar then holds out a bomb in his hand and throws it onto the ground.
Masato: What the....
Trickstar: Relax, I'm not gonna kill you. Earth is steady and still like a rock, and eventually becomes Lava. Disposing everything it sees. Volcano Land Prison!!!
The bomb explodes and creates a Prison. Surrounding everything with Hot Volcanos. The sky is even clouded with black mist created by those volcanos. The ground becomes molten. Everyone is surprised.
Masato: Whoa....this is extreme.
Suddenly, the ground becomes a buddyfight stage. Both Players step onto their platforms.

Trickcat: You got it. (Attacks) When I attack, I discard the top card of the player's deck. (reveals A Spell) Just what I need. MELTDOWN.
Trickcat activates a cannon full of molten lava and shoots it directly at Daryl's left position, melting it in the process.
Daryl: My Left...it's melting?

Molten Lava comes out of the rocket and Daryl's center is also on melt....
Daryl: Again?

Trickstar: My turn is over.
Gwen: What do these Lava fields means?
Masato: Also, how did Trickstar...

Everyone is surprised.
Masato: What just happened?
Trickstar: When stepped on a melted field, the chosen monster is forced to be destroyed. But since it can't, it deals 2 damage instead.
Daryl: What?
Cross: He must have known about our strategy and set bombs for us to trigger it.

Trickstar: Tell me something Daryl. I thought you called Hou Ren a joke. What changed your mind?
Daryl: I was an idiot back then. I shouldn't have looked down or accused him. I should have backed him up as a friend.
Trickstar: So you noticed. Unfortunately, It's too late for you.
Daryl: Even so, I want to make things right with him.
Trickstar: We'll see about that. Draw. Charge and Draw. I cast Ultimate Buddy. Trickdog "Asher" to the left.

Cross felt some lava melting on him from above.
Cross: Ahhhh. (Lost his last soul card)
Daryl: Cross.
Trickstar: I removed all of Cross soul cards. Since I have a Dragod on my field, I draw a card & Garga for this turn can attack all of the opponent's monsters. Now I cast, Dispose of Cross right now.
Daryl: Cross has 18000 defense. It won't it.
But Tink is out.....
Daryl: Wait...You mean?
Trickstar: (Smirks) I was targeting Tink from the start. It's called Strategy. Garga's double attack.

Gwen: What in the.....
Trickstar: You think I don't have a trump card up on my sleeve? Look again. Activating Scorcher's effect. (Activates ability) Looking at the top 4 cards of my deck. 1 to my hand. 1 to my gauge. And the other 2 to my deck.
Masato: His resources increased.
Trickstar: Since I used G-EVO, I also melt the opponent's fields. But I can't, so I'll melt your right and 3 damage to the opponent.
Daryl's Life: 5 -> 2
Daryl: Uh Oh....
Masato: He's cornered. Daryl....
Trickstar: Embrace it. Accept it. Your defeat...(Proceeds to have Garga attacking) is set in stone.
Scorcher attacks.
Trickstar: When attacking, I discard the top card of my deck. If it's a spell, the melted fields cannot return to normal even after the end phase. If it's a monster, Garga gains the monster's power and critical.
Trickstar discards the top card and it's a spell.
Trickstar: It's a spell.
Daryl: What? My fields can't return to normal.
Trickstar: Tick tock. Tick tock. Are you gonna defend or not?
Daryl: I cast Cross Astro Shield. (Gains 2 life, 2 gauge & draw)
Trickstar: Double attack. (Repeats ability) It's a Monster. He gains 7000 power and 1 more critical.
Daryl: Cast, Earth Barrier. Thank gosh he has no attacks left.
Trickstar: I cast "Trickstar Ren's Exploding Mania". Discarding the top 3 cards of my deck. For each trap spell revealed, I deal 1 damage to the opponent. (Does so) Two. Okay, 4 damage since Garga's on the field.
Daryl's Life: 5 -> 1
Everyone breathes a sigh of relief.
Tasuku: If it's all trap spells, Daryl would have lost.
Trickstar: I call Garga from the soul. (Reverts Garga) My turn is over.
Daryl: Why'd you stop? You got more attacks incoming.
Trickstar: Can't I just enjoy this a little longer?
Daryl: If you say so.
Alec: The game is practically over. The moment Daryl calls a monster, it's game over.
Gwen: Oh No...
Daryl: Who says I'm gonna call? I cast Galaxy Formation Territory. (Pays 2 gauge & 1 hand card) For this turn, I can activate Galaxy Dragod Formation regardless.
All: WHAT?
Trickstar: You can do that?
Cross: Shall We?
Daryl: Go for it. Attack The Fighter.
Trickstar's Life: 6 -> 2
Cross: Double attack. This will finish you.
Trickstar: Oh please. I cast Divine Protection of Shalsana.

Trickdog is hit.
Trickdog: You snooze, you lose. (Nearly Destroyed)
Daryl: Not so fast. I CAST, Notify, Blockage Pulse. I nullify your spell.
Suddenly time just rewinds itself and Trickdog wasn't hit. Trickstar's spell was neutralized. Everyone was shocked about what Daryl Did.
Trickstar: YOU WHAT? That Means...
Daryl: Arrogance has become your downfall. (Shoots His Last Arrow)
Trickstar: (Got Shot for the last time) Ahh.....
Trickstar Ren lost as his flag was destroyed...Everyone was shocked at the result.
Eden: Daryl.....did it.
Gwen smile at Daryl, while Daryl gave a thumbs up for his team.
Trickstar: I can't believe this.....(Trickstar's Core Deck Case is destroyed) No....I was supposed to win.....
Daryl: I admit you've gotten stronger. But it seems Judgement has befall on you.
Suddenly, Lava pours in at Melts Trickstar!!! He yells aloud in pain and everyone's shocked.
Masato: WHAT THE!!!!
Gwen: Trickstar???
Trickstar continues to yell and after a while, it stops and the prison disappears and everyone returns to where they are. However, Trickstar is wounded severely as his face is like when he's beaten up...Luckily, he's able to stand as he grabs ahold of left shoulder.
Trickstar: You...may have...won against me...but you'll never...reach...him. (Teleports away)
Masato: What did you do?
Daryl: I don't know. All I did was win the fight and said I admit he has gotten stronger and then Judgement has befall on him.
Tasuku: I think I know what happenned. When you said "Judgement", it triggered the punishment. After all, the punishment after losing along side the word, it made sense.
Masato: Oh Boy...Why would they invent such a thing.
Tasuku: (Shook his head) Oh dear.....Come on. We need to move.
All: Right.
Meanwhile, Hou Ren is observing them from his throne. He feels impressed and a guilty & wounded Trickstar then teleports in to his side.
Hou Ren: Well this is quite surprising.
Trickstar Ren: I'm sorry bro.....they've gotten stronger...I couldn't win.
Hou Ren: It's alright... Though I have to agree with Daryl for once, You need to stop being arrogant.
Trickstar: Yeah yeah.....
Hou Ren: Okay go get healed up first. I'll make you a new deck case.
Trickstar: Yeah...again, sorry bout what happened. (Walks off in another direction)
Hou Ren: (Thought) You all should have stayed where you belong. But seeing that you came this far, let's see what else you can do.
COTD
Trickstar: It's time for.....
Hou Ren: Hou and Trickstar's
Both: Card Of The Day.
Trickstar: Check out today's card. It's Magma Rocker, Gargantua Scorcher.
Hou Ren: When this card enters play, you can look at the top 4 cards of your deck. One among them goes to your hand, gauge and the rest go back on top in any order.
Trickstar: If Scorcher is also entered by G-EVO, You can melt the opponent's empty fields instantly. If you can't, deal 3 damage instead.
Hou Ren: There's more, when Scorcher attacks, you can discard the top card of your deck. If it's a spell, the melted fields cannot return to normal even after the end phase.
Trickstar: And if it's a monster, Scorcher gains the discarded monster's stats. Talk about a failsafe.
Trickstar: So what do you think guys?
Hou Ren: Think you can open up one of these?
Both: You Never Know Until You Try.
