Anime Opening: Knock On Your Date.
Tasuku & his buddy, Jackknife Dragon are walking in the hallways of the sanctuary. Feeling incredibly fascinated by the scenery and structure.
Tasuku: (Thought) Interesting....quaint.....How much power was it used.....(Thought)
Jack: Something the matter?
Tasuku: I just feel stunned because of this structure. It's well built.
Jack: I can sense a lot of power used to build this sanctuary. That young man has grown.
Tasuku: Even still.....
Tasuku stops and spots something up ahead. A young man was walking towards them while wearing a cyan jacket & a cyan t shirt. He also wears a blue police hat, blue jeans and blue fingerless gloves.
Tasuku: Agent Ren.....
Agent: Commissioner.....
Jack: It's been a while.
Agent: Likewise.
Tasuku: I don't want to fight. I just want to talk to your Brother.
Agent: I love to help. But Unfortunately, if you want to see him, you have to defeat me first. I made a sworn vow to protect him. Even from you.
Tasuku and Jack feels stern.
Tasuku: Very well. Show me what you got.
Agent Ren pulls out a stage activator. He sets it on the ground and activates it. The pads are being created and both fighters step on them. Henceforth, a buddyfight stage is created.
Tasuku: Where's your prison? You're not using it?
Agent: We don't need that now. (Holds out his deck) The Stars Shines Bright while The Moon Shines Dark. Luminize, Dra-Agent "Blackout".
Tasuku: Gather. Future Agents Of Cosmos. Time To Go To Work. Luminize, Future Dragoner.
Both: Raise The Flag.
Tasuku: Star Dragon World.
Agent: Star Dragon World...(Thought) Hou, I won't let anyone stab you in the back again. I promise, no one shall destroy your happy life again.
While this goes on, Hou Ren confronts the two fighters in the Arena. He looks at the full moon with his hands behind him. Eden, Daryl, Gavrail & Cross stare in worry while the latter stares at the moon with unclouded eyes.
Hou Ren: Go ahead ask away.
Eden: I.....Why did you shield yourself away? Why abandon your peers?
Hou Ren remains silent.
Eden: I want to help you. And I don't want you to be like my former self.
Gavrail: Eden speaks the truth. We want you come home as well. A home where you truly belong.
Hou Ren: Truly Belong She says. That home you mentioned was destroyed. In fact, (turns around) Do you really have to busy body yourself? Especially working with those who treats me like dirt?
Hearing this, everyone's stunned with fear.
Hou Ren: Wouldn't you attend your duties as Saint Order's Student Council President? I don't intend to drag you for some trivial matter.
Eden: Even still, I want to help you. You helped me once and now it's my turn. Please, Hou Ren.
Hou Ren: I wish I can accept but No. I'm nothing but a pariah nowadays. (Angry at Daryl) Isn't that right, Traitor?
Daryl: Hou. Look. I was wrong back then. I shouldn't have attacked you at the school gates. I shouldn't have betrayed you and so on. I've changed. Just Give me a chance.
Hou Ren: (Interrupts) JUST SHUT IT.
Daryl: What?
Hou Ren: Now you suddenly care? Speak for yourself. You called me a joke, Daryl. You're just trying to make me fall for your lies. Too bad. I'm not the same person you once knew.
Cross: Hou. We understand your hate. But my buddy is no liar. Please Believe Us. We want to make things right with you.
Daryl: (Shows his deck) Fight me. You won't accept our help, but me & Eden will reach you no matter what.
Eden pulls her deck in agreement. Hou Ren close his eyes in a calm rage.
Hou Ren: It's your funeral. (Pulls out his deck)
Resuming the fight, two turns have passed. Tasuku unleashed new cards with Agent being curious. Both players at 6 life, 2 gauge and 4 hand cards. It's currently Agent's turn.
Agent: Search Remnant, Safety Beacon, Star & Brave...New cards huh?
Tasuku: You're not the only one who has gained new powers.
Agent: So it seems. Draw. Charge & Draw. Equip. (Equips a new set of Pistols) Agent's Star, Gar & Shadow.
Tasuku: He's got new pistols too.....
Agent: They aren't just ordinary pistols. With them, my cards are regarded as Deity Dragon Tribe, Darkhero & Black Dragon.
Tasuku: What?
Agent: Let's just say I had a helping hand. I assume you know about the fight with Ladis the Tyrant?
Tasuku: Yes?
Agent: What you didn't know is what happened during the battle. (Flashback) When Lost Ren's attack accidentally hit me, I somehow absorbed a portion of his power. He trained me offscreen and when Hou gave me a boost, my powers are doubled alongside his.
Tasuku: So that means...
Agent: Commissioner. I'm not the same apprentice you once knew. Hou has suffered enough and gone through a lot to regain his happiness. I won't let anyone take away his second chance. Not even you.
Tasuku: I...
Jack: He's changed...
Agent: Time to get to work. I buddycall to the right.
Garga enters play.
Agent: Blackout Cat to the left.
Blackout Cat: Let's get them, cat.
Agent: I gain 1 gauge & draw a card. Cast. Shadow Stockpile. I gain 2 gauge, 1 life & draw two cards. And I set Blackout's Territory.
Agent's forces are prepared. Tasuku & Jack reacts in defensive stance.
Agent: Looking back at our working days, you were my inspiration. But now, circumstances has changed. And so did I. Today, I will surpass you as well.
Tasuku: Is that so?
Agent: Don't get me wrong. I don't hold a grudge against you. I just want to do this for myself. Garga. Attack Search Remnant.
Garga defeats Search Remnant.
Agent: Next, Safety Beacon.
Tasuku: I cast. Mars Barrier.
Agent: My turn. Shoot. (Shoots)
Tasuku's Life: 6 -> 4
Agent: (Puts away his pistols) It's time. Activating my second skill. (Pays 1 gauge)
Suddenly, Agent is some sort of spark as he glows and power surrounds him. Tasuku & Jack are surprised as he also comes on in something new. Agent's right half becomes a cyborg with a mechanical arm and a red cyborg eye. The left half remains the same.
Agent: (Heroic Pose) Blackout's Future, Agent Ren.
Jack: Say what?
Tasuku: He transformed?
Agent: Sort of. During each player's attack phase, I can send Gar & Shadow to the dropzone. I can choose a monster with my name in it and equip it as an item.
Tasuku: Interesting...
Agent: Gar & Shadow's abilities remains active. Now to activate my skill. Looking at the top 2 cards of my deck. I add one to my hand while I send the rest back on top or bottom. I choose the top.
Jack: He manipulated his deck...
Agent: I discard the top card of my deck. (Reveals Blackout Bird) Blackout Bird huh? Since it's posses all three attributes, My cards gain 6000 power & defense. You receive 2 damage. And I regain 2 life.
Tasuku: What?
Agent fires his cyborg cannon.
Tasuku's Life: 4 -> 2
Agent's Life: 7 -> 9
Agent: Blackout Cat. Finish him off.
Blackout Cat: With pleasure. (Attacks)
Tasuku: Cast. Earth Barrier. (Gain 1 life)
Blackout Cat: Your wish shall be granted. (Destroyed)
Tasuku: You destroyed your own monster?
Agent: When Blackout Cat finished attacking, It's sent to the drop & I gain 1 life. And with Territory's effect. I return the destroyed Blackout Cat to my hand & draw one card. My turn. (Fires)
Tasuku: I cast. Vesper Barrier. (Blocks the attack) Should I have a Neodragon on the field, I gain 2 life & 2 gauge. And since there's also a superhero, I draw a card.
Agent's form returns to normal.
Agent: I send my form to the dropzone and I equip my item at no cost at Rest. My turn is now over.
Tasuku: I see. So this is your new fighting style. But may I ask, why didn't you tell me about leaving the country? I know you received unfair backlash but still.
Agent: In terms of majority, what for to stay when everything we do is meaningless. The entire world falls under one single lie. One by one in a chain, the rumor becomes a massive hate. Even if we testify or tell anyone, what are the chances of us being trusted?
Tasuku: You can still talk to me & Jack. Remember, we are still here for you all. We're allies. Not enemies. Even if we fail, at least we could have tried make a stand.
Agent: You just don't get it.
Tasuku: Huh?
Agent: (Forehead shadowed) This is a Draknight's matter. Not the Buddy Police. We don't want to drag you into this. Besides, we're jokes. Aren't we?
Tasuku: No?
Agent clenches his fists. He becomes desperate. Tasuku & Jack watches in worry.
Agent: You wanna know why we left everything behind? People keep hating us. We tried again and again to gain their trust. But for what? The moment Hou reaches his tipping point & realized his flaw, he knows that he's no longer welcomed. WE are no longer welcomed so to speak.
Tasuku: Then let me ask. Are you sure this is something you all want to do? Even when those who care for you still remain?
Jack: Even it means betraying the Buddy Police, might I add?
Agent: YES!!! It's a tough choice but it had to be done. You rather see yourself being pathetic while being a circus clown? No chance.
Tasuku & Jack are worried after hearing that response. Tasuku then feels something that's somewhat familiar.
Tasuku: (Thought) I see... (Talks) Regardless, it doesn't change the fact that you still made a mistake. Draw. Charge & Draw. Cast. Dragonarms Factory. (Discard & Draws) I buddycall Star Dragoner Jackknife to the right.
Jack: (Appears) Here I am.
Tasuku: Jack's ability activates. (Activates Ability) I move Jack Arms J Igniter to his soul.
Jack & Tasuku: Crossnize !!!
Jack crossnizes with J Igniter.
Narrator: Role Shift. Variant Form. All devices Engaged. FCS Active. Load Finish.
Jack: Ignite Blade.
Agent: It's been awhile...
Tasuku: Cast. DragonArms Stacker. (Pays 1 gauge & 1 life) I choose one DragonArms from my dropzone and one Dragonarms from my deck and place them into Jack's soul.
Jack crossnizes with Elgarcannon & Radiant Scudo.
Tasuku: Cast. Buddy Police Order. I draw two cards. Jack. It's time.
Jack: I'm ready.
Agent: Here it comes...
Tasuku: "Buddy Police Agent" Golden Dragoner, Jackknife to the right.
Jack becomes Golden Dragoner Jackknife once again.
Tasuku: As long as Jack & my item's here, my cards cannot be forced to rest. And my flag is treated as Star Dragon World & Hero World.
Agent: Doesn't matter, it's three against two. I will still win.
Tasuku: Confidence I see in you. But arrogance too will lead you to downfall. Commence Attack Phase. Safety Beacon's ability.
Tasuku place another DragonArms from his hand into Jack's soul and increase his life & hand by one. This time, Jack Crossnizes with another Elgar Cannon.
Agent: (Annoyed) Great, this means Jack has a critical of 5.
Tasuku: Seven actually. When my flag is Hero world, all cards gain another 10000 power and critical of 2. Plus, he also has penetrate and double attack. Jack. Attack the fighter.
Jack: Right. (attacks)
Jack fires a barrage of attacks and Agent braces himself against the blow. When the strike hits, he shrieks as he receives the massive amount of damage.
Agent: AHHHH!!!!
Agent's Life: 10 -> 3
Jack: Double attack. (Fires)
Agent: Cast. Proto Barrier. (Blocks the attack)
Tasuku: Safety Beacon.
Beacon attacks.
Agent: Cast. Shadow Paratrooper. (Pays 2 gauge & 1 life) I change Safety Beacon's Attack to Garga. Safety Beacon's Power is reduced by 10000 and I draw one card.
Tasuku: But it still not enough. Beacon has 8000 power.
Agent: Which is why I'm gonna cast "Enhance Agent" to keep him safe.
Jack: NO!!!
Garga powers up & blocks the attack with his bare hands. His defense during the battle is 11000.
Agent: Garga. Counterattack.
Safety Beacon is out.
Tasuku: Well played. But my turn isn't over yet. Star & Brave. Shoot. (Shoots)
Agent: I cast. It's not over yet. (Blocks) I draw a card.
Note: That spell is a dual card (Star & Hero). Block and attack and if your life is less than 5 or if you have 2 or less hand card, draw a card.
Tasuku: Star & Brave's ability. I draw a card & I deal 1 damage to you and I gain 1 life.
Agent's Life: 2 -> 1
Tasuku's Life: 5 -> 6
Tasuku: Double attack. (Shoots)
Agent: Cast. Earth Barrier. (Blocks)
Tasuku: The same effect once more.
Agent takes 1 damage & Tasuku gains 1 life.
Tasuku: My turn is over.
The knocked down Agent Ren slowly gets back up and brushes off his face. He close his eyes and reopens them while glowing cyan. Tasuku's surprised.
Agent: DRAW....CHARGE....AND....DRAW!!! I cast. Shadow Stockpile. (Gains 2 gauge, 1 life & draw 2 cards) Blackout Cat to the left again.
Blackout Cat: (Appears) Just like Shadows, I'm never gone.
Jack: Increase your resources all you want but you still won't defeat us. As long as I'm here alongside Star & Brave, your powers are reduced by 10000 & your critical is reduced by 2.
Agent: So it seems. But I've told you before. I'm not the same apprentice you once knew. Cast. Agent Ren's force of justice. (Pays 2 gauge & 1 life) I draw a card and for this turn, my cards gain 5000 power & 1 critical.
Tasuku: Okay...Jack, move to the center.
Jack Moves.
Agent: Vanquish Jack at once.
Both monsters link attacks. Elgar Cannon is discarded.
Agent: Blackout Cat. Dispose of yourself. (Draws a card, gain 1 life & returns it to his hand) Now it's personal. (Shoots)
Garga also joins in.
Jack: Devotion Wall. (Destroys itself)
A barrier is created around Jack and blocks the attack.
Agent: (Frustrated) Dah. Radiant Scudo. So be it. G-EVO Activate. Change. Cloak & Dagger, Gargantua Midnight.
Garga G-EVOs and suddenly his platings becomes dark blue. He also wears a half-face mask and also wields a golden dagger. His right side of is cyborg. He equips an arsenal of guns behind him. Jack & Tasuku are surprised.
Agent: When placed, all of my cards gain 1 critical and via G-EVO means your power and defense are reduced by 10000.
Tasuku: But as I taught you once. There's other ways to fight. Cast. Tasuku & Jack's Sheer Bond. (Pays 2 life & 1 gauge) Increase Jack's defense by 100000.
Agent: 100000 !?
Jack powers up like crazy as golden energy showers around him.
Agent: No big deal. Gar & Shadow's ability.
Agent once again pays 1 gauge. This time his hat turns dark purple. He wears a dark trench coat with a suit inside. His coat is equipped with items. He also wears black fingerless gloves and a dark half facemask.
Agent: Blackout's Darkness, Agent Ren.
Tasuku: So that's...
Agent: Compliments of Lost Ren. Discarding the returned Blackout Cat from my hand. I deal damage equal to Cat's critical.
Agent throws a Golden Dagger and it passes Jack and hits Tasuku.
Jack: TASUKU.
Tasuku: I'm fine.
Agent: I also gain the same amount of life. Did I just took your word for it? Well guess what? I DID. Garga!!!
Garga attacks.
Jack: No use. As Long as I'm here. You'll never...
Garga moves in a dark manner. He teleports left and right and jumps over Jack. They are surprised.
Tasuku: HOW THE?
Agent: Midnight has Shadow Dive.
Tasuku: I cast, Vesper Barrier. (Gain effects)
Agent: Midnight's other skill. When finished attacking, if I have no other monsters on the field, and if I have an item equipped, it stands back up.
Tasuku: Uh Oh...
Agent: My turn.
Agent also moves by shadow and teleports in fast motion. He moves pass Jack and deals damage to Tasuku using his new dark sabers.
Tasuku: Erghh...You have Shadow Dive too?
Agent: Garga.
Garga throws another dagger.
Tasuku: Cast Again. Vesper Barrier. (Blocks)
Jack: I gotta give you credit for that impressive luck.
Agent: But it's not over yet. Lost Ren. Hou. Lend me your strength. I cast. "The Good, The Bad, The Blackout".
Agent pays 2 gauge & discards a hand card.
Agent: I stand Myself back up. Extra critical and 10000 power. Once again, you cannot defend.
Tasuku & Jack: No....
Agent: Fare thee well, Master.
He combines his sabers into one and attacks...
Agent: Judgement's...(Slashes) Justice !!!
Tasuku: AHHHH....
Jack: TASUKU.
Tasuku: Ergh... Not yet. I discard Elgar Cannon and one more hand card and cast...Star Jack Revival.
Immediately, Tasuku's wounds are being healed as he stands back up.
Agent: Say what?
Jack: (Proud) Tasuku!!!
Tasuku: Agent Ren. I admit you've grown. But sadly, you still have a long way to go. Until your turn begins, I cannot lose the game
Agent: Impossible!!! Ergh...(Defeated) My turn is over.
Tasuku: Like I said, Arrogance will be your downfall. Draw. Charge And Draw. Safety Beacon's effect. Crossnize with another J Igniter.
Jack Crossnize again.
Narrator: Role Shift. Variant Form. All Devices Engaged. FCS Active. Load Finish.
Jack: Ignite Blades.
Tasuku: Jack. Finish him off.
Jack: Leave it to me. (Attacks) With a critical of 6.
Jack lands the finishing blow....
Jack: IGNITE BLADES!!!!
Agent: AHHHHH.....(Knocked Down)
Agent's Flag is eliminated.
Tasuku: Game End. I'm the winner.
Jack: As they say in French, "Cest Fini".
The Stage disappears. Agent slowly sits back up while feeling devastated.....
Agent: I failed.....(Looks Down) I'm sorry Hou....
Tasuku walks up to his former pupil and offer his hand. Agent feels ashamed.
Agent: You come to gloat?
Tasuku: Why would I do that? Although I am displeased of your actions, I'm still very proud of you.
Agent: (Confused) What?
Tasuku: You fought well. You really had me cornered. I can see you really outdid yourself.
Agent: Oh.....(Accepts the hand and gets back up)
Tasuku: I won't deny that your brother's change is correct. And you lot leaving is also understandable. But still, you need to understand you can't always do as you please.
Jack: When we took you both under our wing, you both are like sons to us. Many people may reject you but not us. Did you ever consider how we feel when you were gone? Don't you think having at least one trust is enough?
Agent: I...We never thought of that...
Tasuku: Nonetheless, We want to help. But We can't do it alone. Will you help us?
Agent was feeling hesitant but he agrees.
Agent: Okay. I'll take you to where Hou Ren is.
Tasuku: Very well. Lead the way.
Agent Ren turns around and walks while Tasuku and Jack follows him. Meanwhile at the Sanctuary's Healing Bay, Blaze Ren & Shiloh are watching after Magician & Rockstar.
Shiloh: Are they going to be okay?
Blaze: They'll be fine, don't worry. They're sleeping at the moment.
Shiloh: Oh....(Phone Rings and pick up the phone) Hello? Really, it's all set?
Blaze: That was quick. Then we better heal them fast.
Shiloh: Right.....I wonder how Agent & Lost Ren are doing.
Blaze: (Activates his watch) Oh no....Agent Lost...But he didn't activate his prison so it's not a total loss.
Shiloh: Oh...I wonder...I think I'll have to give this (holds out a card) to him soon.
Blaze: (Surprised) Did you...
Shiloh: (Nods) It's wrong but...hey...He'll understand right?
Blaze: Can't say that for certain...but Shiloh, thank you for helping us out.
Shiloh: (Blush) Anytime. Now come on, we got some healing to do.
Blaze: Yes Ma'am. (Thought) No wonder she leads to Juniors...In the meantime, I wonder how's Lost Ren's doing.
Meanwhile, Lost Ren walks in a hallway in his original form. He's unclouded and stern. Then, he comes to a halt because he sees a familiar face.
Lost Ren: Here I thought You & Commissioner have better things to do.
Light: (shrugs) Meh, what can I say. He needs me. Now shall we get started?
Lost Ren: (Holds out his deck) Bring it on.
The story ends with Lost Ren & Light about to fight in a crayon-drawn scene.
Anime Ending: Promise You.

Light: One last battle and I'm here taking Lost Ren on. Let's see what new powers he got. Next time, "Countdown to Demise". Join us for a Buddyfight.
