Synopsis: Hou & The Gang went to visit Eden's School, but the latter don't seem okay with it. Meanwhile, Da Dan & Seiji are plotting something mischievous...
OP: Silhouette.
It's the middle of the night. The moon shines bright in the sky. At Vile Ranma's Base, Vile Ranma still couldn't get over his loss against his former friend. Once again, he's throwing a tantrum, yelling out left and right. The environment was very dark and massive minus power surrounds the man.
Vile Ranma: Hou...I will...GET MY REVENGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
While hiding behind one of the doors, his allies are watching from afar. Da Dan is really scared as he grits his fingers in his teeth. Light is just being Light. Daijirou seems serious and worried. And Seiji seems fine.
Da Dan: He's really scary...
Daijirou: It's been three days. Yet he's not over it.
Seiji: Hmmm...[This is why you're unfit to be a king. So be it...the time has come for me to take your throne. However...I need some help...]
The next day, Hou & His Friends Gathered At Eden's School. Gavrail, who's passing by notices them. Two members of the defense force are in their way, blocking them entry.
Gavrail: Hou? What are you all doing here?
Student #1: They say they want to look around the school.
Student #2: But they are not allowed to enter, as we said.
Gavrail: Why do you guys want to look around?
Hou: Well...I guess you can say we want to like...
Daryl: We want to see how Saint Order Academy progresses. Like, understand it's Lifestyle and all.
Masato: Yeah. What he said.
Gavrail: (Ponders) I see...Well, as once the deities said, "Never turn away from your guests, should you do that, then you shall receive great prosperity". Let them in.
Student #2: Are you sure?
Gavrail: I'll take full responsibility. Let them in.
The gang walk around the school park itself. They witness the school Garden with Aww. It's filled with Topiaries, Flowers. Truly, a magnificent beauty of great light. But upon noticing the statue of Eden herself, they feel...awkward.
Daryl: I still sometimes wonder why is Eden's a statue. Like sure she's the Student Council President but...
Masato: It doesn't seem right does it.
Hou, who's listening to them thought "Should I tell them?". He ponders in worry.
Daryl: Other than that, the school looks...extremely serious.
Masato: Tell me about it.
Inside Eden's Office, Eden is very surprised to hear that Hou & his friends are at his school.
Eden: Hou Ren's Here?
Student #3: Gavrail Let them in. I'm very sorry Ms.
Eden: No matter. Where are they right now?
Student #3: Daryl currently visits the Astronomy Club. And Masato visits the Basketball Team.
Eden: And what of the last one?
At another club, Hou & Garga are quite surprised to see what's before them. Tons of students in masks are standing before them.
Student #3 (Offscreen): He's with the buddyfight club.
Hou: Well...
Garga: That's a predicament...
Club Member #1: If you referring to the masks, please, pay no mind to them.
Club Member #2: We want to hear what's your take on Buddyfight.
Hou: Uh...About that...I guess you can say...Buddyfight is quite a fun game?...Actually yeah, it is a fun game. You get to try different cards, different playstyles. And every card is like a special surprise that makes your opponent feel...Bamboozled.
Garga: [Hmm...He does have a point.] You even get to battle alongside different monsters like me. Being more than just buddies. Furthermore, Us Monsters can evolve. Exploring Greater Heights.
Hou: And yeah, I guess this is my take on Buddyfight.
???: Hardly.
Hou & Garga: Huh?
Hou & Garga turns to Eden, who is witnessing the whole scenario.
Hou: Eden.
Eden: Buddyfight is no fun game. It's a tool that allows you to show the world what you are capable of. It's allows you to make your opponent subject to your wishes, delivering perfect order and justice to them.
Hou: Okay...I guess you have a different take.
Eden: You. Hou Ren. You have no idea what Buddyfight is truly like. Reality is merciless. You can dream of such things like hope, but in this world, life attempts to surprise you with many different challenges. It's important to be prepared for the worst.
Hou: Maybe to you, I don't know what life is truly like. But Buddyfight is more enjoyable than you think. That's what makes life worth interesting.
Eden: Perhaps.
Garga: Eden Please. We have no intention to insult your ideology. We just want to experience what your school life is like.
Eden: Have it your way. But I'm watching you both. (Makes hand sign)
At the basketball club, all of the members keep missing their shots. Like unable to catch the ball or even throw the ball through the hoops. Masato & Agito are saddened.
Agito: Come On. Even the simplest passes don't work.
Masato: It's the masks...their peripheral vision is limited.
At the astronomy club, Daryl is currently adjusting the Telescope. When he's done...
Daryl: Give it a try.
One member tries to look through the telescope but it keeps bunting the eyes off thanks to the masks. Same reaction with the other two.
Cross: Oh dear...
Daryl: With those Masks on, it's completely incompatible to look through the telescope.
Meanwhile At Vile Ranma's Base, Da Dan is mopping all of the floors. He feels very pathetic and weak.
Da Dan: I came here to join Vile Ranma because I want to be his right hand man. But I barely am a henchmen. (sigh) Why does life always have to be so harsh?
In a flashback, after Ranma cools down, He orders Da Dan harsly to clean up the mess in the base. Da Dan questions why him but Ranma comments that should he question his orders, he will be punished...greatly. This made Da Dan scared.
Da Dan: First I lost to that Goody Two Shoes Hou. And then now I'm being treated as maid. My scenes in all of Vile Ranma's vids are cut. What have I done to deserve this...
Suddenly, Da Dan hears footsteps coming in. It's Seiji as he walks in looking very serious.
Da Dan: Something the matter, Seiji?
Seiji suddenly bows before him and this made Da Dan Shocked.
Seiji: Please Forgive Me Da Dan. For I did not see your true strength before.
Da Dan: (Panics) Pardon???
Seiji: I know it's sudden but hear me out. You have the strength to surpass Vile Ranma. You can easily beat him lickety split.
Da Dan: Dey? Okay but...why me specifically? Like why not ask Daijirou or Light?
Seiji: It's simple. Daijirou obviously look up to Ranma like a house pet. Obviously, there's no way I can choose him. Light seems flippant but I feel that Letting guard down can lead to disaster. Which leaves you left. And Like I said, you posses great strength. You can surpass Vile Ranma himself.
Da Dan: Ah? Well when you put it that way...[He has a point. I do posses Great Strength.] (Smirks for a while before laughing) Yes Indeed. I am a very extraordinary buddyfighter myself. No one can surpass me.
Seiji in response, smirked in evil.
Seiji: Would you like to start a rebellion with me?
Da Dan: What? A rebellion? A coup de tat?
Seiji: First we need to do some stalling. I'll use this opportunity to urge Daijirou and Light to join us. You manage to overthrow Vile Ranma then you shall become (smiles) our King.
Da Dan: (Amazed) I....I'll be...king?
Da Dan imagines himself sitting on a golden red throne. Feeling so much power in his hands this sort of thing.
Da Dan: Ahhh....I'll do it. I'll be the KING. Just you wait...
Seiji: (Shushes him) Keep it down. You don't want to let anyone hear you.
Da Dan: Oops...
Seiji: We don't want to draw any suspicion. So no matter what, you'll have to keep the rebellion running alone until the right moment strikes. Got It?
Da Dan: Leave it to me, Bossman. (Smirks) Hehehe. You're going down, Vile Ranma. Big Time.
Meanwhile at the same buddyfight club at Saint Order, Everyone else is buddyfighting (not the actual fights). Everyone is playing very serious. It's as if there's no motion & passion at all. No fun yelling. No...Kamehameha moments. Everyone is just...there...while Eden is supervising each by each.
Hou: (Scratches the back of his head) This is...really awkward.
Garga: You're right. Everyone is playing very serious...but...
Hou: It's as if their being emotionless robots...(realizes) I get it. The masks.
Garga: Oh?
Hou: The masks block them from seeing how fights are really like. Even though you're not in an actual fight, better imagine yourself than just there physically playing.
Eden: Ha.
Both: Huh?
Eden: {Arrogant} Like that's gonna work. Wearing masks represents pride of our school.
Hou: Okay...Everyone. Take your masks off.
All of the students are shocked. Eden somehow feels arrogant as she smirks.
Student #3: But...
Hou: No Buts. Do it. Just Trust Me.
Like So...Every club members takes their masks off one by one. Eden is very surprised.
Eden: What are you all doing? Wearing masks is important and...
Eventually, everyone takes off their masks while smiling. Eden is even more shocked.
Defense Force Member: (Barges in) This is bad, Ms President. The Basketball Club and The Astronomy club...
Eden: What about them?
Both clubs have their masks off too. The basketball team are able to catch all of the passes and play better than before. This makes the two excited and impressed.
Masato & Agito: For Share!!!
The Astronomy club also have their masks off as they all witness the beautiful space. The stars shines bright and even better and everyone who's watching them is smiling too. At the club, Hou plays a match against a member. Everyone spectating is excited.
Hou: Garbird strikes in.
Member: Aww man. You got me.
Eden: This is impossible...
???: Seems that everyone is enjoying themselves.
Gavrail floats in smiling.
Eden: This is wrong...how can this be...
At the enemy's territory, Da Dan stands before Vile Ranma, Daijirou & Seiji. Da Dan is quite nervous.
Vile Ranma: Don't you have something to say to me?
Seiji then gives the nods up.
Da Dan: Grrr....Vile Ranma. Face me in a buddyfight.
Vile Ranma: HA. This some kind of joke?
Da Dan: When This World Sets On Fire. I will win. And I rebel against you ASAP.
Daijirou: {Smirks} My My. A coup de tat huh?
Da Dan: Obviously. You got no brains if you don't understand what I mean. Face me this instant and I will be victorious and be the boss of the Lost Crew.
Vile Ranma: Very well. But don't count your chickens till they hatch.
The stage is set and the two fighters luminizes.
Da Dan: Dragonblood Sect. Gather Before The Almighty Da Dan. Luminize...Deadly Nightmare.
Vile Ranma: Reveal the Gateway to the Lost Dimension. Luminize...Dimension Gate.
Both: Raise the flag. Dragon World.
The rest are beside, spectating.
Seiji: [In chess, Pawns must be sacrificed for the greater goal. Taking the throne is easy. Or is it? I need to find out what will happen if I fail. Thus...He's my scapegoat.]
Vile Ranma: Draw. Charge & Draw. Ire to the center. And it attacks the fighter.
Ire strikes forth and Da Dan receives 2 damage.
Vile Ranma: Turn end.
Da Dan: My turn. Draw. Charge & Draw. Cast. Dragonic Charge Plus. (Increase Gauge) Equip. Fake heart. (Does So) I buddycall Deadly Eyes to the right.

Daijirou: Uh...what?
Seiji: {Awkward} Oh boy...He might actually win this...
Da Dan attacks with Fake Heart. It's chains snared around him as Ranma shrieks.
4 life left.
Da Dan: Serves you right for treating me like trash. Now look me in the eye. Show me your pathetic face, will Ya!!!
Vile Ranma did as told but his face is insanely scary as he shows a scary smile. Now Da Dan is the one frightened.
Da Dan: Oh gosh...I shouldn't have said aloud. Forgive me, Sir.
Vile Ranma: (Holds his flag) Behold. (Places flag) Cover the flag. Lost World!!!
Lost World flag arrives.
Vile Ranma: My Lost Deck. Into my hand. (Gathers Lost Deck) Deck Change. (Places Deck) Lost Vanity Dimension. Come out Now. Destroyer !!!

Vile Ranma: Agonia to the left. Cast. D Suction. I destroy Agonia and Draw 2 cards. And with Agonia's effect, I increase my hand even more. Equip. Vile Demonic Gun, Lostless Buster. (Does So)
Da Dan: Not gonna happen. Deadly Eyes's ability activates.
Immediately, Deadly Eyes hypnotizes Destroyer. The latter is forced to attack as he's forced to summon his cannons and feels affected. He yells softly while everyone else is in shock.
Da Dan: Wait wha? It actually worked?
Destroyer uses his cannons and blasts Deadly Eyes's soul away. Deadly Eyes remains on the field thanks to soulguard and fires his gun at full capacity. Destroyer was one shot obliterated. Everyone but his buddy is shocked.
Da Dan: I did it...I FINALLY DESTROYED DESTROYER WITH MY OWN HANDS. (Cheers)
???: Are you sure you should be celebrating?
Da Dan: Huh?
Vile Ranma: You really lack a braincell. My buddy has evolved you know.
Da Dan: AH!!! I forgot!!!
Vile Ranma: (holds Epoch Destroyer) Now Watch and Learn. Carve this Image. And seer this moment to your soul. Vile Demonic Deity Dragon, Vanity Epoch Destroyer to the Right.
Vanity Epoch Destroyer emerges.
Vanity Epoch Destroyer: Dimension Door, Impetus. Get Lost. (Fires Cannons)
Deadly Eyes is instantly wiped out as he screams. The same for Madness Luna. Da Dan is shocked.
Vile Ranma: Now who has the pathetic face?
Da Dan: You are. Cast. Dragotrap. Destroyer cannot attack. And I cast. Barbed Wire. Lostless Buster is on Rest.
Vile Ranma: WHAT?
Daijirou: Oh what?
Seiji: Since When Da Dan is like this?
Da Dan: If I have to do this then I have to do this. It's either this way...or the other.
Vile Ranma: So be it. Calling Iregeit to the left. Attack Da Dan.
Iregeit: Be destroyed. (Slashes Him)
5 life left. The double attack hits too. 3 life. As for the last one.
Da Dan: Cast. Blue Dragon Shield. (Blocks)
Vile Ranma: Impressive. I was gonna finish you off but...seeing that you put in some effort, I'll spare you this turn. Now...show me that you have what it takes to beat me.

1 life left for Da Dan and 8 life for Ranma.
Da Dan: Double attack.
Vile Ranma: Cast. Blue Dragon Shield.
Da Dan attacks with Fake Heart & Ranma receives two damages.
Da Dan: Tch. My turn is over.
Vile Ranma: Oh How Sad. I thought you're gonna become boss. If anything, you should have destroyed Destroyer so that I wouldn't...
Da Dan: Wouldn't what? Cast your Impact? Deadly Eyes's ability online.
Vile Ranma: What?
Deadly Eyes activates his ability and once again hypnotizes Destroyer.
Da Dan: If I know you well, you always have your impact in your hand. So I took the chance to use Deadly Eyes's ability to wipe your buddy out.
Vile Ranma: Clever...But NOT Clever Enough. I cast. Day of Devastation. Destroyer stays on the field. His abilities cannot be nullified.
Da Dan: WHAT?
Destroyer then sets himself free and this makes Da Dan shocked.
Daijirou: Then that means...
Seiji: He's indestructible...
Vile Ranma: Oh and that reminds me. I cast. Dimension Razor. I destroy Fake Heart.
Fake Heart is desroyed and Da Dan responds with a "huh???".
Vile Ranma: In fact, I know you have defense spells in your hand. In that case, I'm not going to attack. FINAL PHASE.
Da Dan: Wha...
Vile Ranma: CAST. VANITY ZERO BLAZER.
Impact Sequence.
Vile Ranma: IMPACT. VANITY ZERO BLAZER.
Da Dan is one shot blasted away and he loses the game. Everyone else is devastated while Da Dan falls down in defeat. Vile Ranma looks at him in a very cold manner.
Vile Ranma: Now then, what should I do now? For rebelling against me, you're hereby banished on sight. Never show your face again.
Da Dan: I...Yes Sir...
Seiji, who's witnessing all of this, smirks.
Seiji: [So that's it eh?]
???: That's Too Lenient, Ranma.
Epoch Destroyer then appears out of the ground in skull form.
Destroyer: He must be greatly punished for turning traitor.
Da Dan: {Scared} Wait wait wait wait wait. Hold On. I'm not the only one who's turning traitor. Punish Sei...
Before Da Dan can finish his sentence, Destroyer immediately devours him through his mouth. Everyone is really shocked.
Vile Ranma: Da Dan....
Daijirou: He's...
Seiji: Been Devoured.
Destroyer: Remember this well. Do not turn your back on myself and Ranma. OR ELSE. (Disappears)
Ranma, who's devastated by the entire thing, was in complete shock and bewildered.
Vile Ranma: [As much as I'm surprised that I'm not yet caught...this is too far...] Listen Up. What we saw today will be a secret. DO NOT SHARE THIS WITH ANYONE.
Daijirou: I...Understood...
Seiji: Oh my gosh...
Sunset arrives. Gavrail talks with the gang at the school gates.
Gavrail: Our time together has been worthwhile. Thank you for coming.
Garga: Gavrail, Are you sure Eden is quite okay with us coming?
Gavrail: Of course. Why you ask?
Garga: Earlier when Hou & I stepped in, it's as if she doesn't want us at all.
Gavrail: So it seems...Don't worry, she'll be fine. {Worried} [I hope....]
While Looking at them through her office window, Eden, unmasked, feels incredibly serious.
Eden: [Teng Hou Ren...At the final round of the playofffs...I will not hesitate...and crush you to pieces]
Preview...
Hou: It's Finally time for the Playoffs Finals. And Eden is my opponent in the first match. Next time, "To reach one's heart out". Join us for a buddyfight.
Story End.
Writer: Hey guys, it's me again, so today's story is something I want to try. In the original series, Da Dan cannonically Lost. This story is the same but I really don't like it where the original series had to like not give Da Dan some character to prove himself. The last two spell cards in his hand were cards that can be activated when Deadly Eyes is destroyed by a forced attack. Thus I decided to add some little spice to this story. I hope you guys enjoyed and feel free to give me some weak points of the story if necessary.
