Synopsis: The match continues between the Ace of Study & The Vixen. Both players released their trump cards, but Daryl is absolutely cornered. How will he turn the tables?
Anime Opening: Black & White.
The match continues as Ms Shafi unleashes her new power. Everyone's quite surprised at Immobolizer's new form. What is she going to do?
Hou Ren: Immobilizer evolved?
Garga: But How?
Shafi: Like I'll ever tell you. R E B O O T can only be summoned when the original Immobilizer is defeated or finished attacking. By discarding one hand card, I remove all of the opponent's soul cards and infect them.
Immobolizer plants a curse on Cross's Body. Cross felt affected as he lost his soul cards.
Daryl: (Surprised) Cross !!!
Immobolizer starts to infect Cross, but.....
Daryl: No Way. I cast. Celesociation. (Pays 1 life)
The Cross is returned to the hand. Shafi is surprised.
Ion: Say what? Daryl returned Cross to the hand.
Garga: (Impressed) What Timing!
Masato: (Excited) For Share.
Shafi: Whatever. I don't care. I activate R E B O O T's ability. I pay 1 gauge & discard one hand card. Once More, Omega Infection!!!
All: WHAT?
Gwen: Not Again...
Masato: This never gets not annoying...
Hou Ren & Garga's eyes remain still, but their expression becomes angrily worried as they grit their teeth.
Shafi: R E B O O T, attack the fighter.
R E B O O T attacks and locks in. It launches its attack from its hand cannon.
Daryl's Life: 10 -> 7
Shafi: Double attack.
Daryl's Life: 7 -> 4
Daryl: Thank gosh. I survived.
Shafi: I wouldn't be so sure. You may have survived, but your downfall is guaranteed on my next turn.
Daryl: What does that mean?
Shafi: At the beginning of my next turn, since you have 3 infected cards, I win the game regardless of the opponent's life points. And this ability is active even if he's defeated.
All: WHAT?
Ion: Then this means Daryl must win this turn or else he'll lose.
Hou Ren: (Disgusted) Unbelievable. The vixen really is a vixen.
Garga: (Disgusted) Does she ever fight fairly? No buddyfighter would go this far.
Daryl begins his turn.
Daryl: Draw. Charge & Draw. Once again, I call Cross to the center.
Cross: (Appears) Daryl. This is our last turn. Do you have some sort of plan?
Daryl: I do. I cast. Galaxy Formation Territory. For this turn, Galaxy Dragod Formation can be activated regardless.
Shafi: What?
Masato: For Share!!! But will it be enough? He can only launch 3 attacks.
Daryl: Don't underestimate me. Hou defeated you once, and I will too. I can't believe I'm saying this, but Ace Of Games, you're awesome.
Hou Ren: (A bit surprised for a while before turning confident) Go get him.
Daryl: (Nod) I cast. Proclaim: Steer the Stars. (Acquire Resources) Then I cast. Proclaim: Decisive Point. Increase power by 3000. And I cast Tesla-line Field. Cross's critical cannot be reduced.
Shafi: What?
Daryl: Cross. Attack the fighter.
Cross: Gladly. (Attacks) You'll pay for mistreating Hou Ren long ago.
Shafi: (Hit) AHHHH.
Shafi's Life: 9 -> 6
Cross: Double attack.
Shafi: Cast. Mars Barrier.
Cross: Triple attack.
Shafi's Life: 6 -> 3
Shafi: You have no attacks left.
Daryl: I cast. Notify: Skyseer Pulse. Cross stands back up, and I deal 1 damage to you.
Shafi's Life: 3 -> 2
Ion: Oh My God. Shafi's like a candle in the wind.
Daryl: Cross. Finish her.
Cross attacks.
Shafi: Not so fast. Cast. Virus: Overboard. I nullify your attack, and Cross once again loses its soul cards and becomes infected.
Daryl: No way. I cast Blockage Pulse. I nullify your spell.
Cross lights up his eyes and glows his wings. Stars came out of nowhere, and Shafi's spell is null and void.
Shafi: WHAT?
Ion: SAY WHAT? Ms Shafi's spell is nullified? HOW?
Daryl: Let's just say I carved my own miracle. Just like how Hou carved his own when dealing with you. I told you, if he can do it, then so can I. Cross...finish her off.
Cross: On it. (Flies and delivers the final blow) Your time...is up. (slashes her)
Shafi: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH...
Shafi's flag is once again destroyed.
Ion: Game End, Winner, Daryl.
In the classrooms, everyone cheered and applauded.
Ion: What an incredible match. Daryl was cornered by Shafi's new power, and yet he was able to turn the tables on her. No wonder he's the ace of study because he is absolutely a genius.
Daryl: No, I'm not a genius...All I did was repay what I owed.
Daryl looks at Hou Ren while the latter looks back at him, smiling. The latter closes his eyes and walks forward to his friend.
Hou Ren: I'm surprised. You manage to defeat her without unsealing your cards.
Garga: Very impressive.
Daryl: Anytime, my friend.
Hou Ren: Although...
Daryl: Hmm?
Hou Ren: To be blunt, you did the right thing. I kinda would have lost in my current state. Or worse
Daryl: (In agreement) Yes...but the game is won and that's that.
Both of them fist-bump each other. Then they hear a noise. Ms Shafi is absolutely angry as she punches the floor. As she complains, the two aces feel disappointed as if they are upset with their child.
Shafi: I can't believe it. I was supposed to get my revenge. First, I lost to him. Now I lost to you !? How can this be?
Hou Ren: Revenge. Revenge. Revenge. Is that all you can think about? Seriously, I should have wiped your memories out when I had the chance.
Daryl: (Surprised) You can do that?
Hou Ren: Uh, Yeah? I mean, don't you remember what happened 6 months ago?
Daryl: Oh, right, yes.
Hou Ren: Come on. With me.
Daryl nods and together they lay out their right hand and...
Daryl and Hou: Judgement.
Suddenly, the swords on the ground form a circle around Ms Shafi. More Longer Blades came from above and stabbed around Ms Shafi. When it's all set, lightning charges the swords and deals 5 times the damage to Ms Shafi. Ms Shafi screams in agony as she receives the Judgement.
Ms Shafi: AHHHHHHHHH.....NO.....PLEASE.....STOP....AH
The prison disappears as Ms Shafi falls wounded on the ground. The spectators inside the prison feel unfazed, while everyone else in their classrooms is quite shocked to see what happened. Ms Shafi gathers the rest of her strength and manages to get herself back up, barely.
Shafi: You...may...have defeated me...but... I'll be back...and have...my reve...
Before she can continue, Hou Ren immediately electrifies her with lightning from his right palm. Ms Shafi is in pain once more as she yells loudly. When he stops, everyone's quite surprised, but Hou Ren is enraged as he walks forward. His eyes become filled with lightning as he feels hateful.
Hou Ren: One More Time You Say That Word, (grabs her head) I will not hesitate and kill you tenfold.
Shafi: (Super afraid) I...I..I...
Hou Ren: NOW TELL ME. Why are you here right now? ANSWER ME OR (summons a lightning sword) ELSE!!!
Hou Ren angrily threatens her former teacher with the sharp tip of his lightning sword. The sword sparks strongly as its sound becomes electrifying. Ms Shafi stares and quivers even more in fear. Suddenly, Daryl and everyone else step in and grab his shoulders and stop him.
Daryl: Hou don't.
Masato: Yeah, man, she's not worth it.
Garga: Calm down, Hou.
Gwen: Please. You never kill.
Hou Ren is feeling so enraged until his anger wavers and his sword disappears.
Hou Ren: (Sigh) I hate it when you're right.
Suddenly, the teachers & the Buddy Police arrive at the stage. They were surprised to see what happened.
Ms Pauline: Oh my goodness, what happened?
Hou Ren: A rat is dealt with what else? Or rather...a sly fox.
Tasuku: Come on, Hou Ren, I know you hold a grudge, but still. Regardless, Ms Shafi, you're under arrest for trespassing.
Hou Ren: And for breaking Team CCP out of Prison.
Tasuku & Shafi: (shocked) How did you know?
Tasuku is even more surprised when Shafi responds and covers her mouth in shock.
Tasuku: (Serious) Looks like I don't need evidence for this.
Hou Ren: Charge her extra sentencing & fine. Lock her in a maximum security prison. Code 119, 107 & 118 are broken and included.
Tasuku: (A bit surprised) Okay...
Jack: He learned fast. I give him that.
The Buddy Police took a once again yelling Ms. Shafi away as she screamed she'll break out of prison. Hou Ren & Garga are unfazed with their arms crossed.
Ms Pauline: Either way, Hou Ren. You didn't have to go that far with the judgment part. I'm aware she's dangerous, but still.
Daryl: (step in) Ms, Don't Blame it on Hou. It's my idea. I asked him to summon his prison and took his place to fight. He's just helping me out.
Pauline: Regardless, what's done is done. Please don't try using this method again unless necessary.
Hou Ren: (Flabbergasted) But that was... forget it.
Pauline: Alright, (claps her hands) head back to your classes. Come On.
All: Got it.
As everyone left the stage, little did they know that someone was in the stands spectating the whole thing. It's a hooded figure, and she then activates a portal and walks through it. At a tall building, the same unknown figure teleported and stood before another person who was staring through the window.
???: She's been captured.
???: Is that so? And what of....the boy?
???: He's doing well in school. However, he's not the one who battled.
???: Interesting... So she didn't deliver the message.
???: No. I'm terribly sorry, Master.
???: Don't worry about it.....we have other ways. Don't we?
???: Da.
The unknown figure walks out of the office. It's revealed that the unknown figure was talking to the man himself. The head of the Gaen Financial Group, Kyoya Gaen.
Kyoya: I only want her to deliver a message. But it didn't work out as planned. Regardless.
Kyoya opens up his phone and has a look at Hou Ren's match with Shafi long ago.
Kyoya: You may not have fought, but I have high expectations of you. I hope you will entertain me soon enough.
After school, Hou Ren's Mother is driving her car while her son is in the front seat.
Hou Ren's Mother: How was school today?
Hou Ren: It was...dramatic. Ms Shafi's back.
Hou Ren's Mother: Oh my goodness. How?
Hou Ren: I don't know. But don't worry, she's dealt with. She's with the Buddy Police.
Hou Ren's Mother: I see.
Later Hou's phone rings, which he picks up.
Hou Ren: Yes?
Tasuku: Hou Ren, are you still at school?
Hou Ren: No, I'm in my mom's car, on the way home.
Tasuku: I see. Well, Agent Ren & I already interrogated Ms Shafi, and it didn't go well.
Hou Ren: Do you need me to come to the station?
Tasuku: Yes. But are you sure? You just finished school, and it's getting late.
Hou Ren: I'll be fine. I've been waiting for this to arrive. Time to get to work.
Immediately at the Buddy Card Office, Hou Ren interrogates Shafi alone. The lamp was dim with the brightness on medium level. The room environment was very dark. The only thing that is in the room is a medium-sized table, a stern Draknight & a stern criminal handcuffed to a stool.
Hou Ren: (Slams the table) Alright, Vixen, Spill It Out. Why did you invade my School, huh?
Shafi: I'll never tell...
Hou Ren came in with a slap on her face. The vixen is shocked as she gets slapped again.
Hou Ren: Really. You sure got a lot of nerve now, I give you that.
Shafi: I don't fear students like you.
Hou Ren: Oh, Really? You're all bark, no bite. You felt so afraid to your knees when you lost to me & Daryl. And you were even more afraid when your crimes got exposed. I want you to spit out (points three times) Every Single Detail on what you're true intentions are.
Shafi: Oh my goodness, what happened to you? You're... a monster.
Hou Ren: Oh, don't think for a moment you're a victim. Did you ever wonder what it's like to suffer or go through terrible abuse? No, you don't. Why? Because you're nothing but a sly Vixen.
Shafi: Quit calling me a Vixen.
Hou Ren: But you are. (Grab the chin) Look at me while I say these words. You're nothing but a sly vixen who feeds your poison so that everyone supports you. You're worse than the snake that gave the apple to (ruthlessly push her back) Eve.
Shafi: (Looking fearfully) No...
Hou Ren: So if you don't want to be insulted further, I suggest you confess now, or I will not hesitate and tear you limb from limb.
Shafi: Okay, Fine. Kyoya Gaen is the one who sent me.
Hou Ren: What?
Shafi: Yes. But I bought the sleep bomb from the black market. The rest I did all by myself.
Hou is quite surprised, but he remains unfazed.
Hou Ren: Is that so?
After a while, Hou Ren walks out of the interrogation room. Tasuku was outside waiting while feeling displeased.
Hou Ren: You got all of that?
Tasuku: I have. You don't necessarily have to insult her.
Hou Ren: Out of every single criminal there is, she's my least favorite, and I want her dead.
Tasuku: Now, now, Hou Ren, we talked about this. It's wrong to harbor a grudge, even if it's towards a criminal.
Hou Ren: Well, here's a saying, commissioner, sometimes the people who are closest to us are the ones who tend to hurt us most. Especially when it's someone you look up to for months.
Tasuku: I can see that. But you still need to calm down. Hou Ren, I know she mistreated you a lot. But you still should be grateful and kind to have her teach you previously.
Hou Ren: Yeah, well, in my defense, it's better to villainize the villain.
Tasuku: (Stern) Hou Ren...(sigh) Anyways, leave the rest to me. Next time, please don't use violence for interrogation.
Hou Ren: Fine. Gotcha.
Hou Ren walks away while Tasuku looks at him with concern. Jack came out of his card.
Jack: He sure has become something.
Tasuku: But like I said, he needs to cool down. He still has much to learn about growing up.
Evening arrives. Hou Ren walks out of the Buddy Card Office. The winds are gusting through his jacket, and his hair breezes with it. His expression becomes cool as his eyes become sharp.
Hou Ren: Kyoya, huh? What does he want from me?
Anime Ending: Gonna be right.
