Synopsis: Illegal Monsters appear, and Hou & Garga must purge them. Meanwhile, Kyoya has recruited a few fighters to aid him...
In the previous story, Hou Ren explains how he plans Path To Liberation to his friends, as well as how he acquires new gifts.
Anime Opening: Black & White
A beautiful night has arisen above Hou Ren's house. In his bedroom, Hou is having a video call on his laptop with a familiar face.
Hou Ren: And then she literally hacked the presentations.
Shiloh: Seriously?
Hou Ren: Daryl defeated her nonetheless, and I had to interrogate her. You definitely don't want to see how it went.
Shiloh: Sounds like she's tough to crack. (smug) And knowing you, you would be scaring her, wouldn't you?
Hou Ren: Ack...you got me. But enough of that. How are you?
Shiloh: I'm doing fine. We just finished filming our latest video.
Hou Ren: Can I see?
Shiloh: (Smug) No.
Hou Ren: (awkward) Bruh...
Shiloh: Sorry, Sweetie, but we can't give out any spoilers.
Hou Ren: I know. (Shrugs) I really wish I could be with you right now.
Shiloh: I know. Me too. I missed you.
Hou Ren: I kinda wish I could give you a huggy wuggy. And well.... (Blush) Dance like old times.
Shiloh: (Blush) Oh, you... A huggy wuggy for me? (flirts) Then I'll give you a kissy missy.
Hearing this, Hou blushes even more and becomes shy.
Hou Ren: Ahahaha...(sigh, forehead shadowed) Welp, it's official.
Shiloh: (confused) What?
Hou Ren: (looks up, smiling) I love you. (Finger bang)
Hearing this, Shiloh covers her face in cute embarrassment.
Shiloh: (Smile and blush) STAWP... On a scale of 1 to 10, I'm a 9.
Hou Ren: Why?
Shiloh: Because you're the 1 I need.
Hou Ren: (Blush) Ep....umm...ahh...
Shiloh: Hehe. You're not the only one who can flirt.
Hou Ren: Then I might as well go right now.
Shiloh: (confused) Huh?
Hou Ren: Go buy a camera because you look so GORGEOUS.
Shiloh: (Flattered) STAWP.
Hou Ren: Hehehe. Okay, for real this time. See you, Sweetie. (Ends call)
With the call ended, Shiloh blushes even more, waves her right hand, and feels happy.
Hou Ren: (Lies In Bed) Ahhh, I'm in love.
Meanwhile, Garga is watching from inside his card in Hou's deck.
Garga: (shakes his head while smiling) Typical Hou Ren. Can't say I'm not happy for him.
While this goes on, Kyoya is watching him via drone outside his window while feeling pleased.
Kyoya: (Phone calls) It's me, bring him in. (Ends call)
The next day, the three Aces do some shopping. They are carrying plastic bags full of items. Dumbbells, Books, etc. Hou wonders one thing in dismay.
Hou Ren: You sure you need these?
Masato: Definitely. I need to work on my weights, man.
Daryl: And I have a lot to study in these books.
Hou Ren: I suppose. Let's get lunch.
Suddenly, they hear an explosion, which surprises them. To their shock, illegal monsters are rampaging across the mall. Citizens are seen fleeing and screaming.
Masato: Eh???
Hou Ren: Oh my goodness, I better do something.
Daryl: Let's help, too.
Hou Ren: No, it's too dangerous. Quickly, run while you still can.
Suddenly, Hou Ren's phone rings to which he picks up.
Hou Ren: Commissioner?
Tasuku: I assume you know what's going on.
Hou Ren: Yeah. Permission to pursue.
Tasuku: Proceed with caution. Be careful.
The call ends.
Hou Ren: What are you waiting for? Get to Safety.
Daryl: Good luck.
Both Daryl & Masato run out with their items. Garga comes out of his card while Hou Ren puts on his wrist wraps and tightens up his shoes.
Hou Ren: Go.
Garga: On it. (Transforms into full form)
Garga destroys monsters while Hou leads everyone else outside.
When the evacuation is finished, he heads back inside and shoots bolts of lightning through his palms at the monsters and destroys them.
Hou Ren: How are we looking?
Garga: Almost all of them are destroyed. Others are still on the lower ground.
Hou Ren: Then let's go.
The two head to the lower ground floor. Hou Ren uses Kaizer's energy enhancement to give themselves a boost. Both buddies work together and vanquish the enemies left and right. Garga uses his swords, while Hou uses his lightning, combining with his lightning sword. Suddenly, behind them, more and more monsters stampede towards them, much to them being defense.
Garga: Get Ready.
Hou Ren: I'm always prepared.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, Cross and Agito appear and destroy the monsters, leaving the two in surprise.
Garga & Hou Ren: Cross? Agito?
Cross: Are you both alright?
Agito: That was dangerous, might I add.
Hou Ren: But!!!
Daryl & Masato appear behind their buddies, leaving Hou Ren furious.
Hou Ren: What are you both doing? Get Out.
Daryl: You didn't think we would let you both fight and get injured, right?
Masato: We want to help. We may not be trained, but friends help each other, don't we?
Hou Ren's anger slowly turns to calmness.
Hou Ren: (Sigh) Hand me your item cards.
Masato hands Wild Axe while Daryl hands Lumun Deus.
Hou Ren: Future Force. Activate.
Hou Ren's hair suddenly grows long, and his blue aura glows. Everyone's surprised when he summons the two items.
Hou Ren: Use them well. (Hands them their items)
Daryl: Whoa.
Masato: For Share.
Suddenly, more monsters appear, running towards them.
Hou Ren: (Summons Garblade & GargaSabre Exspecta) Just be careful. Their powers are real.
Both: Got It.
Garga: Let's get to work.
All 6 of them attack back. Masato swings his Wild Axe while Daryl shoots using his Lumun Deus. Cross, Agito, and Garga use their powers, and Hou Ren uses his swords and slices them. But despite their efforts, more illegal monsters come out.
Hou Ren: (Made Garblade disappear) Deity Dragod Shield. (Summons it and blinds them)
Daryl: Whoa.
Masato: That's future force for you...
They keep fighting on and on until the moment Garga lands his sword at a target, the monsters disappear into thin air.
Cross: Huh?
Agito: They vanished?
Hou Ren's future force and the cards disappear.
Hou: But they zeroed in on us. What's going on?
Everyone stares at what happened in stern confusion. Later at the BP HQ, Everyone gathers at Tasuku's office, including Daryl & Masato.
Tasuku: They vanished?
Hou Ren: Yeah. We had the advantage, but then they just poof, gone.
Tasuku: Very Strange... By the way, using the future force is prohibited.
Hou Ren: The situation called for it. I had no choice. Also, I don't need the power, but Daryl & Masato stepped in so....
Tasuku: You still allowed them, did you not? Besides, Daryl, Masato, you both know that earlier was Dangerous.
Masato: (Guilty, Ashamed) Sorry, Commissioner.
Daryl: (Guilty, Ashamed) We just want to help.
Tasuku: Safety first. You could have gotten hurt. I'll let you two off easy, but next time, please watch yourselves.
Daryl: Yes, Commissioner. Sorry.
Tasuku: (Smiles) But seeing that you both put in an amazing effort, how would you like to join the Buddy Police?
Daryl & Masato are quite surprised.....
Daryl: Uh... Maybe not.
Masato: Yeah. I think that's Hou's thing.
Tasuku: Suit yourself. Hou Ren. Garga. I need to speak with you both alone.
Hou Ren: Understood.
Once everyone else leaves the office...
Tasuku: Earlier, did you notice anything suspicious?
Hou Ren: No?
Tasuku: I see. Well, check this out. (Plays a video from his phone) I was watching the news about Earlier's rampage, and I found this. (Zooms in on a part of the video)
A part of the video reveals that someone is behind a wall during a rampage. It wasn't quite clear as the quality is kind of...240p.
Garga: Who is that?
Hou Ren: It can't be...
At the Gaen Tower, inside a meeting room, Kyoya walks towards a very long table. His hands are behind him as he stands in front of the table.
Kyoya: To think I would be working with most of you all again. We really share common reasons, don't we?
At the table, a few familiar faces are there. Davide Yamazaki. Sophia Sakhrov. Magoroku Shido. Devil Destroy Bigmachine. Elf Kabala. J Genesis.
Davide: (Annoyed) Whatever, I'm just here because of some debt I owe.
Shido: And you're lucky that Master Kyoya took care of it for you.
Sophia: You lost to a bunch of loan sharks while gambling.
Kabala: You didn't have the money to pay them, and luckily, Master Kyoya does.
Davide: Psh. Yeah Yeah. In return, I'm working for him again.
Kyoya: That's enough. All of you. And speaking of which, Davide, you did amazing.
Davide: Yeah. I just love seeing people screaming for their lives as they run. (Laugh hysterically)
Devil: You're a hyena. But I don't understand, boss, why the rampage?
Shido: And why are we so focused on that boy?
Kyoya: Let's just say I find him interesting. And he's going to be a key part of our plan. You'll see...
It's another casual day. Hou Ren is eating lunch alongside his friends at a park. Daryl & Masato are surprised.
Daryl & Masato: A timeout?
Hou Ren: Yep. Because I used the future force without permission, and you guys were involved... I got a timeout.
Masato: Oh man. We're so sorry.
Hou Ren: It's fine. On the bright side, I have a week off.
Masato: Looks like it...
Hou Ren: However...there's something else Commissioner and I talked about.
Hou Ren shows a picture of an unblurred image. All three of them observe in care.
Hou Ren: This guy was also in the incident yesterday. I don't know about you guys, but I know who he is.
Daryl: Who doesn't? Davide Yamazaki.
Masato: Who?
Daryl: He's a fighter like us... only long ago in tournaments, he tends to cheat.
Masato: What?
Hou Ren: He distracts his opponents, and when they're at their lowest, he pulls cards out of his pocket. (sigh) I'm willing to bet he's behind the scenes.
Masato: But how do you know he's responsible?
Hou Ren: Well, right now it's just a hunch, and Commissioner has Light to investigate the crime.
???: Hey, what-cha talking about?
They hear a voice, and behind them is the man they're talking about. Davide grins menacingly, with the three react sternly.
Masato: Well, speak of the devil.
Hou Ren: (stands up) What do you want? Get Out.
Davide: Get out? I see no door. You lack brain cells, you know.
Hou Ren: When I say get out, I mean leave, dude. Maybe YOU should get brain cells cause you are so dumb to understand what I mean.
Davide: (Taken aback, angry) Why you...
Hou Ren: Save the pity. I'm not facing you. Now Leave.
Davide: Huh? Why not?
Hou Ren: You're nothing but a pathetic cheater. I'm not interested in fighting cheaters like you. If anything, I'd say you're an A-class scumbag.
Daryl: (surprised) Whoa...
Masato: (surprised) Well, Lost Ren is in his blood.
Davide: (Provoked) Ugh...you think you're so better than me, huh? Then I might as well destroy you using force.
Masato: (Stands up) Then face me instead.
Hou Ren: (surprised) What are you doing?
Masato: Isn't it obvious? Besides, you're on timeout, no?
???: I concur.
Hou Ren: Light. What are you?
Light: I traced Davide here. Fancy seeing you all. As your superior, I'll allow the match.
Hou Ren: Fine, but I'm staying. (points) I don't want anyone getting hurt.
At a buddyfight stage on the ocean...
Davide: It rocks so hard it crushes. Dark Luminize, Black Dragon Reborn.
Masato: The linked spiral is a chain of bonds. Luminize, Ultimate Spiral Linkdragon Order.
Both: Raise the flag.
Masato: Ancient World.
Davide: Darkness Dragon World.
Masato: I have the first move. Draw. Charge & Draw. Cast. Linkdragon Order's Links. (Ability) Mazuru to the center. And I buddycall Extreme Linkaxe Agito to the right.
Mazuru & Agito: (Appears) For Share!!!
Masato also equips Wildaxe thanks to Mazuru's effect.
Masato: Alright. Agito's effect. I call Kaina from my dropzone to the left.
Kaina: (appears) Who's ready for a bashing, huh?
Masato: Agito!!! Attack Davide.
Agito: (Attacks) For Share.
Davide's life: 10 → 7
Masato: My turn is over.
Davide: Tch. You won't be smiling for long.
Hou: Okay, it's Davide's turn now. If there's one thing I know, he tends to rely on that one tactic.
Light: Spectral Strike, huh? Funny, my father also told me about him once. Let's see how he plays.
Davide: Hehehe. Draw. Charge & Draw. I pay 1 gauge and equip...(Equips a pair of blue knives) Dark Mad Knife.
Daryl: Strange...6000 power but with a critical of 0...this was not in his records.
Hou: Hmm...
Davide: And further, I call Malicious Conqueror, Ve Veil to the center.
Ve veil appears.
Hou: {confused} What even is that? A snake-half dragon?
Light: Believe me, Hou. Darkness Dragon World is not always dark dragons. There's also grim reapers and...yeah, that too.
Davide: Due to the effect, I gain 1 gauge and draw 2 cards. Further, I call Black Dragon, Cold Blade to the left. And I buddycall Death Dragon, Deathgaze Dragon to the right!!!
Deathgaze: (Appears) Hahaha. At last, it's been a while since I've been called. I'll tear you all limb from limb.
Hou, Daryl, and Light are slightly surprised.
Light: My father's not kidding, alright. It's really malicious, the more you look at it.
Hou: But wait, he said "REB", meaning it's evolved and must have gotten stronger.
Daryl: If that's the case, then what new abilities does it have?
Davide: Death Dragon, Deathgaze Dragon REB. Size 1. 6000 power. 1000 defense. And a critical of 1. You're about to taste what despair feels like. If anything, I bet you're squirming for help like a baby. (Laughs hysterically)
Masato: Yeah, well. At least I know someone who's way better than you. Even though he does taunt his opponents sometimes, at least he never laughs in a creepy manner. He doesn't even cheat to begin with.
Davide: Oh, yes? We'll see who's better then when we meet eye to eye. But before that, I'm gonna enjoy killing you. Alright Deathgaze. Go attack Mazuru for me.
Deathgaze lets out a menacing laugh as he sharpens up his pincer arm. He flies and thus pierces through Mazuru like a knife stab.
Mazuru: Oww...Sorry Masato. (Destroyed)
All of a sudden, a blue energy orb appears.
Davide: And here's a little something your friend just had. SPECTRA STRIKE.
Deathgaze: (Shoots orb) ARRGHH!!!
The blue orb hits and overruns Masato with pain as he yells with "ARGHHH".
Agito: MASATO!!!
Masato's Life: 12 → 11
Davide: And that's not all. I also destroy one of your gauge, and YOU MUST DISCARD ONE CARD FROM YOUR HAND!!!
Masato loses one gauge and drops a hand card, much to his dismay.
Davide: And that's just the start of it. My buddy here has double attack. Go Attack Kaina.
Kaina is also defeated as he yells aloud and once again...
Davide: Spectral Strike!!!
Masato: (Hit) ARGHHH!!!
Masato took one more damage and as a result, lose one more hand card and gauge.
Davide: And now it's my turn. A little birdie told me that this item can attack even with a monster in the (shoots knives) center!!!
Masato: I'm not letting Agito getting all of the sharp blows. I cast, Linkdragon Spirit. (Blocks) Discarding the top card of my deck...(reveals Tricera) Nice.
Linkdragon Spirit returns to his hand.
Davide: I wouldn't celebrate yet if I were you. (Shoots Knives) HA.
Masato: I cast. Linkdragon Spirit. (Blocks) One more time. (reveals nothing) Drats.
Davide: (Laughs hysterically) Out of luck and running out of hand cards. Coldblade. Be Veil. Crush Agito at once!!!
Both monsters attack one at a time. Cold blade's attack hits, and Masato receives 1 damage. As for Veil's attack.
Masato: I cast. Undying Linkdragon Order. (Blocks)
Davide: Tch. You were lucky to survive. I end my turn.
Hou: This is bad...Masato may have 12 life, but he's out of hand cards.
Daryl: I don't want to be harsh, but Masato shouldn't have called so many monsters in the first place.
Light: That's true. The more monsters he has, the more Davide gets to destroy and the more resources he gets to annihilate. True to its name, spectral.
Davide: So, how do you like it now, huh? I told you I was going to show you what despair is like. Now let me hear you rot and scream as you begin your final turn. (Laughs Hysterically)
Masato: You know. Your laughs are starting to annoy me. And besides, I'm not the type to go down easily even when the odds are against me. Like so. Draw. Charge...And...Draw. YES. I cast, Divine Dragon Creation. (Draws 2 cards, smirks) Deity of Enthusiasm and Bonds, Godagito to the center!!!
Agito: (Appears) Incredible power flows within me!!!
Davide: Heh. So the big boy has arrived.
Masato: I move Agito, Mazuru, Kaina, and Tricera into the soul.
The four cards have been summoned and move to Agito's soul without any hesitation, and Agito roars once more.
Masato: And further, I discard the top 3 cards of my deck. Jisen, Harahara, and Bodolo to the soul.
Davide: Ooh, let me guess, two or three attacks and then I'm gonna lose? (Menacing) I cast, Despair Alive!!! (Pays 2 gauge & 1 life) All of your cards are forced to be on rest, and I get to deal 1 damage for every card that's been targeted.
Deathgaze lets out a glowing stare and breeds blue cursed fire at them with shock. When hit, the flames overruns them as they yell aloud, and Masato loses 2 life points. Everyone else is surprised.
Davide: (Laughs hysterically) Ya like that? So much for the Ace of Sports. You couldn't surpass your friend there, and now you can't surpass me.
Masato: (Angry) What's that?
Davide: (Taunts) Oh, yes. I've seen your matches. You couldn't even beat Hou Ren once. Your buddy may have evolved, but you're still weak and pathetic.
Masato: (smiles) Is that so? Okay, then I might as well call Sasa to the field.
Davide: Huh?
Sasa: (Appears) Here I am.
Hou: (confused) But GodAgito is a size 3. So how can Masato call a size 1 in?
Masato: When GodAgito is on board, Any Size 1s I have will become size 0 instead. And now I activate Sasa's ability. I pay 1 life, and I stand a Dragon Share card back up.
Davide: WHAT?
Masato: And you know who I'm gonna choose!!! It's my buddy!!!
Sasa glows her eyes, and Agito is lifted from his curse as he roars back up with orange-yellow thunder surrounding him. Davide is taken aback as he steps back in fear.
Davide: (Thought) Oh great...his forces are coming in...man...I'm out of options.
Davide attempts to pull a card out of his pocket, much to Hou's shock, and he suddenly teleports and points his lightning saber behind him. Davide is shocked.
Davide: How did you...
Hou Ren: (Disappointed) Cheating right now? You really are an A-class scumbag.
Davide: Why you...
Hou Ren: Masato. Pin him down. (Teleports away)
Masato: I hear you. Agito. It's time.
Agito: Right.
Agito & Masato: SPIRAL DRAGOD SHARE!!!
Agito lights up like crazy with golden lightning surrounding him.
Masato: Agito. Attack Deathgaze.
Agito: Got it. (Attacks)
Deathgaze is hit but revives with soulguard.
Agito: Double attack.
Deathgaze is hit again.
Davide: Deathgaze!!!
Agito: Triple attack. (Destroys Coldblade) Penetrate!!!
Davide's Life: 7 → 4
Davide: (Thought, in despair) It's okay...I can still survive...Sasa can't finish me off. Heh.
Masato: (Forehead shadowed) If you're thinking I'm letting Sasa attack, you're mistaken. Normally, I would have no cards left. But thanks to Bodolo's dragon share, every time a monster is destroyed, I draw a card. Agito destroyed 3 times, and thus I drew 3. (Reveals his hand)
Davide: Huh? So what? Increase your hand all you want, but you're out of attacks, buddy.
Hou: You were foolish to let Agito's attack through.
Davide: Wait, what?
Masato: (Increases his gauge) Final Phase!!!
Davide: W—WHAT?
Impact Sequence.
Masato: CAST. THUNDER DRAGON TORNADO!!!
(You know how this goes...)
Masato: Impact!!! Thunder...Dragon...Tornado!!!
Davide is constantly hit by the impact and thus hits 0 life. Everyone reacts with joy, while Hou reacts with a smirk, with his arms crossed.
Masato: For Share!!!
Agito: We Won!!!
Linkdragon Order: (Dropzone) Yeah!!!
Tategami: Even without many hand cards, he was able to carve his way to victory.
Harahara: True said. That's our Masato for you!!
Meanwhile, Davide watches in despair at what just happened. His eyes were completely wide-open as he's taken aback by what happened.
Agito: Order's Anthem. Commence.
Linkdragon Order and Masato: The linked spiral is the chain of bonds. We all want to hear Masato say for share !!! So we join forces and fight in his name !!! Oh Yeah. We Are. Linkdragon Order. YAY.
At the park, they confront the loser. Everyone is surrounding him and is really disappointed at Davide with their disapproving expressions and crossed arms. Davide slowly turns into rage from despair.
Davide: How dare you? (Activates his dark core and summons Death Scythe)
With the Dark power activated, he attacks a frightened Masato.
Davide: Here's Davide.
But Hou immediately steps in and grabs with scythe with his bare hands, much to his shock and Hou's disappointment.
Davide: WHAT?
Hou Ren: Real smooth. First, the illegal monsters. Now this?
Davide: I have no idea what you're talking about.
Hou Ren: It's spelled out all over your face. I can see the fear in your eyes. I can feel your heart aching like crazy. It's obvious. Kyoya sent you, didn't he?
Davide feels afraid, and he makes his dark power disappear and activates and runs backwards into a portal.
Hou Ren: No, wait. (Rushes in)
The portal vanished, and so did Davide, much to their surprise.
Hou Ren: (sigh) Is he even worth arresting?
Light: Nah. I'm sure we'll see him again soon.
Daryl: Yep.
Masato: So it's not over.
Hou: Yeah...by the way, congrats again, Masato.
Masato: No sweat. Daryl did it once, so now it's my turn to return the favor.
Hou: You don't have to, but okay. Anyways, Light, what now?
Light: I'm afraid I need to report this to the commissioner. And perhaps try to locate the enemy's whereabouts.
Daryl: Is there anything we can do?
Light: Not for the time being. But maybe soon. For now, leave this to me. After all, Hou, you're still on timeout.
Hou: Right...(looks up at the sky with sadness) I just hope everything is okay...
Anime Ending: Gonna be right.
Preview:
Hou Ren: We just received an invitation to the Gaen Cup? And the gang wants me to train them. Next time, "Will you train us?". Join us for a Buddyfight.
