Synopsis: Hou & Gao's fight is still underway. Gao once again shows what the Thunder Empire is capable of just like the old days. What will be the aftermath?
Continuing from Gao saying...
Gao: I'm just saying...you've lost your spark. And if this is how you are then I'll end this now.
Batzz: Took you long enough, Kid. Send Me In!!!
Gao: Here I go. I buddycall Thunder Emperor Dragon, Barlbatzz to the right!!!
Batzz jumps in.
Batzz: (Howls) I AM BARLBATZZ DRAGOROYALE THE FIRST. THE STRONGEST MONSTER OF ALL OF EXISTENCE. BOW DOWN YOU FOOLISH WHELPS.
Garga: Long before I was born, He's the one who's nearly destroyed Dragon World long ago.
Hou: {A little scared} That means...He's powerful...
Gao: (punches his fists) You haven't seen nothing yet. We're about to show you what true buddyfight looks like.
Hou looks at them with stern fear...
OP: Undead by Yoasabi.
A little recap on the match. Gao currently has 7 life. Batzz on the field. Dragorumble equipped. 3 hand cards. Meanwhile, Hou has Garga & Gardog on the field. Gargasabre equipped. 5 hand cards. 9 life left. It's now Gao's turn.
Ion: Now Gao's About to Begin his Turn. What will the Mighty Sun Fighter Do? {Panics} I'm so anxious as a speedy fox right now!!!
Gao: I'm not gonna lie, but you should have reduced my life points to less than 5. But you didn't so I'm afraid I need to use this. Cast. Thunder Sparks My Entire Soul. I drain my life points to 4 and I draw 2 cards.
Gao's Life: 4
Hou: Why would he drain his life points to 4?
Garga: {Teases} That's ironic coming from someone who used Gargantua Gate Long Ago.
Hou: {Bratty} HEY!!!
Gao: If Batzz is on the field, I gain 2 gauge. And Now... (Violently Holds out a card) Strike your enemies and surpasses yourself like you've never done it before. I evolve Thunder Emperor Dragon Barlbatzz into Thunder Emperor Warlord, Barlbatzz Dragoroyale!!!
Batzz suddenly wraps himself in a violent purple-ish tornado!!! His hands & legs suddenly bursts out and he emerges in his new form.
Batzz: The strongest monster in all of existence....IS ME!!!
His new form is similar to Turbulent Warlord Dragon but with a brighter appearance and yellowish thunder.
Batzz: Barlbatzz Dragoroyale the FIRST!!!
Hou & Garga are shocked.
Hou: That's His True Form???
Garga: My goodness...
Gao: Did you actually think I was gonna like launch 5 attacks or something? Well guess what, It's more than that!!!
Hou: Huh?
Gao suddenly has gold aura surrounds him and he strikes some sort of movement...
Gao: Thunder Emperor Warlord...
A gold symbol is slowly being drawn...
Gao: Barlbatzz...
Slowly...
Gao: DRAGOROYALE!!!! (Slashes) OVER...THROW!!!
Hou & Garga: HUH????
The overthrow symbol is shown and the environment turns grey. Only Gao & Batzz are turning gold!!!
Gao: Ovethrow is a very powerful ability that can be used once per fight!!! I discard one card from my hand. And...I get to search my deck and call one monster alive.
Hou: {Confused} That's It?
Gao: Call to the right, Saint Holy Sword, "Thunder Edge"!!!
Saint Holy Sword: (Appears) My Name is Saint Holy Sword "Thunder Edge". I fight alongside my Big Boss Batzz & I'm going to do my very best.
Gao: Saint Holy Sword normally is a size 2, but if Batzz is on the field, his size becomes 0 instead. And because I have 4 life and three world names in the drop, He gains penetrate & double attack.
Ion: WHAT? 2 SIZE 2S ON THE FIELD???
Hou: That's why he drained his life to 4...
Garga: Impressive...
Gao: There's more, with Batzz's Overthrow...All of my cards gain 10000 power & critical +1!!! And Batzz has Penetrate & Triple Attack!!!
Hou & Garga & Ion: TRIPLE ATTACK???
Ion: That means that will make a total of 6 attacks...or more....
Hou: [Drats...I don't have Dragotrap in my hand....Guess I'm doing it many o mano....]
Hou breathes in and lets out a sigh and his eyes suddenly becomes very sharp. He tightens his fists & strikes out a brave karate pose with his arms beside his waist.
Hou: COME ON!!!
Gao: (Smirks) Batzz!!! Attack Garga for me.
Batzz: OKAY. (Drags his sword forward) Prepare yourself for Defeat!!! (Attacks) AHHHH!!!
Garga: (Charges Forward) AHHHHH!!!
Both deities duel with their swords. Their power is so strong that it creates strong gusts of wind surrounding everyone. Both players block themselves from the wind.
Hou: {Shocked} Woah...
As both monsters clash...
Garga: You're good....
Batzz: So are you...However...
Batzz pulls up his sword and strikes Garga down as he yells. Luckily Garga revives with soulguard.
Garga: That's Nothing!!!
Hou: G-EVO Activate. (Draws) Change, Gargantua Ice Mage!!!
Garga: (G-EVO) Ice...MAGE!!!!
Hou: With Ice Mage's effect, I gain 5 life.
Hou's Life: 9 -> 14
Gao: {Impressed} Okay then...let's see how much you can defend instead...Batzz, Double Attack.
Batzz: (Attacks & Strikes) HA!!!
Hou's Life: 14 -> 11
Ion: Batzz's Double attack lands and the same goes for the triple attack as Hou's down to 8 life points.
Gao: Chibi Panda. Follow Him!!!
Saint Holy Sword: (Attacks) Yes Sir!!!
Hou: Cast. Blue Dragon Shield.
Ion: Due to the effect, his gauge increases by 1. But as we heard, Saint Holy Sword has...
Saint Holy Sword: Double attack!!!
Hou: Cast. Green Dragon Shield.
Hou's Life: 8 -> 9
Gao: Dragorumble's effect. It gains 2000 power for every card of mine attacks. Since it has reached more than 10000 power, It gains triple attack too.
Hou & Garga: HUH????
Garga: Hou please tell me you have more cards to defend!!!
Hou: Bring It On!!!
Gao: Here I come. (Attacks)
Hou: Cast. Fire Dragon Shield. I reduce the damage to 0.
Gao: Double attack. (Attacks)
Hou's Life: 9 -> 6
Gao: Triple Attack!!!
Hou: Cast. Gar Parry!!!
With that last block, everyone pants in exhaustion. They are really excited too.
Ion: Unbelievable!!! Hou survived the 8 pronged attacks like crazy. Our Ace of Games is not taking any chances down!!!
Hou: Gotta say, I haven't had such a blast that's for sure.
Gao: Same here. This is what buddyfight is all about. You never know what's going to happen in a buddyfight. Some things explode, some things went "Sha Zam". It makes your blood pump. But...
Hou: {Surprised} Huh?
Gao: I'm afraid I need to end this. Cast. Batzz X Link!!!
Gao looks at the top 3 cards of his deck. One goes to his hand, the two to the gauge and he gains 1 life.
Ion: Gao just increased his resources at the last second. What card did he add to his hand?
Gao stomps the ground and violent purple-black lightning surrounds him.
Gao: FINAL....PHASE!!!
Hou & Garga are shocked. Batzz wraps in a thunder tornado again for the second time....Okay, I think, you all know what it is. A giant cone spear appears and Gao grabs it's sharp edges. His right half of his body becomes a monster. Slowly, it's reveals itself as a giant spear. He lifts it up high and...
Gao: CAST!!!
Gao rushes forward on top of the spear and...
Garga: Oh No...
Gao: (Grabs it) IMPACT!!! (Throws it & rush forward) TURBULENT THUNDER SPEAR....X TEMPEST.....ULTIMATE BUSTER!!!!
Hou was hit by the impact and...Ah yep....He's Dead....
Ion: Game End!!! Winner. Gao Mikado!!!
Gao: Alright!!! Thank you very much!!!
The Crowd cheers!!!
Ion: That's The Strongest Buddyfighter For Ya!!! He dominated the Ace of Games like there's No Tomorrow!!!
Meanwhile, Hou, already sat down, completely stunned after what happened...
Hou: So this is...Gao Mikado....
Garga: (checks on him) Are you alright? Are you hurt?
Hou: Yeah yeah, don't worry...if anything...
Hou slowly gets back up & slowly he smirks. He becomes even more confident than ever!!!
Hou: I wanna go again!!! Big Time. One more time Mr Gao!!! (Points At Him) Fight Me.
Garga: {Surprised} Hou...{Impressed} [So he finally got his spark back...]
Gao: Heh. I like that. Okay!!! We're not gonna stop till the sun goes down!!!
Hou: Hehe.
Gao: Or at least, that's what I would say...
Hou: {Flabbergasted} HUH?
Gao: (Scratches the back of his head) Sorry Kid, but we're in the middle of a rush hour at the moment. Like we're on a road so...
Batzz (SD form): {Bratty} WHAT? I WANT TO SQUASH THAT KID AGAIN!!! Even though I didn't But Still!!!
Saint Holy Sword (SD form): Calm Down Big Boss. Gao's Right. Be Considerate.
Batzz (SD form): RARRRGHHHH!!!
Gao: CUT IT OUT. YOU'RE MAKING A SCENE!!!
Hou & Garga watches Batzz & Gao argue some more in awkward...
Hou: Is this normal?
Garga: Well, you and I argue too but way less...I wonder how are they even buddies...
Meanwhile, at Ankh Kingdom, young Prince Alexandre Ankh haves a look at their match through a screen while sitting on his throne with boredom. Then he speaks to his advisor beside him.
Alexandre: Cancel my coming trip for Malaysia in a month. I don't want to waste my time for such trivial matter.
Advisor: (Bows) Of course, Your Highness. (Does So)
Alexandre: (sigh) As they say, "High Hopes But Low Results". Is this who my rival supposed to be?
Gao then travels to the Buddy Police HQ and meets up with an old friend of his at his office.
Gao: (Hugs) Senior Tasuku.
Tasuku: (Hugs) Hello, Old Friend.
Jack: It's been awhile, Gao.
Gao: (Lets Go) You know. It's been years since I've last saw you.
Tasuku: Indeed. First after you moved to America, you met new friends & start at a new school. 6 years later, you graduated and heads back to Japan to visit me & your friends. I've missed you dearly might I add.
Gao: And then after that, I went to study in College & University for 3 years each in America. However, after I graduated once more, I've heard you moved to Malaysia...
Tasuku: There's a reason why I do so. Malaysia's crime rates are quite high back then, so I moved in order to manage things from here. Despite everything is stable now, I find Malaysia quite interesting, so I decided to stay to know more about it.
Gao: Right? I get the feeling. Travelling to Different Countries to try new things? Life is truly interesting. But you really should have let me know before you moved.
Tasuku: Except halfway after you graduate, you were on World tour for a year & handling the new Mikado Style Aikijujitsu at the states for 10 years.
Gao: {Awkward} Oh...right...
Tasuku: Speaking of which, how's Paruko & your sons in Japan?
Gao: They're fine. I gotta give props to Paruko for being the breadwinner. She took care of them like a pro might I add.
Tasuku: She sure is. But anyways, I'm still quite surprised that you called in 3 days ago. I never ask why though.
Gao: Well...I was...
The Camera pans from the outside on the rooftop.
Gao: Kinda Bored...
Tasuku feels a little awkward while Gao smirks and scratches the back of his head.
Tasuku: Really?
Gao: Hahaha. You should have seen the look on your face. But truth to be told, I came here because I heard about Hou himself. The kid's kinda sloppy but shows potential nonetheless.
Tasuku: I did give him a bit of a boost after all. But enough about that. Are you sure the next phase will work out?
Gao: (Thumbs Up) It'll be fine. As the Mighty Sun Fighter, I always keep my word and lend a hand.
Tasuku: {Smiles} I can tell. [He did rescue many strangers in the past after all...]
Meanwhile, as evening arrives, Hou & Garga just reached home with a Bag of Groceries. His mother was quite disappointed.
Hou's Mother: There you are, I've been waiting for you.
Hou: Sorry I'm late, I was...
Hou's Mother: Buddyfighting?
Hou: Ah? You saw the news didn't you?
Hou's Mother: I did. Although I was disappointed because you were distracted with something else, (smiles) I can tell you got your spark back.
Hou: Well never mind that, you are ridiculous Ma. Asking me to buy more than 20 items & tasked me to walk to a store that's 15 minutes away?
Hou's Mother: I know I know. I'm sorry. (sigh) [Well, his attitude of talking back has grown that's for sure...but he makes a good point] Anyways, hand me the groceries & I'll take care of the rest.
Hou: Okay. (Hands them & Leaves)
Hou's Mother: (To Garga) I was kind of getting used to his new non-buddyfighting self but looks like we're back to square one.
Garga: He's your Son. You can't force him to be someone he's not.
Hou's Mother: That's true. Go On. I'll take things from here.
Garga: Roger that. (Does the same & leaves)
Garga then reaches Hou's room, which he spots a shocked Hou looking at his phone in surprise.
Garga: What's Wrong?
Hou: Garga...did you know about this? (Shows what's on his phone)
Garga: What? (Sees what it is in shock) What???
It reveals that Hou is showing what Gao sent earlier. An Ancient Area atop of some mountain. The stones are sharp and shows different worlds. And the ground shows a Buddyfight Symbol. Everything is well aligned in a round circle.
Garga: Incredible...I hate to say this but even I had no idea this existed. Those stones right there, carved to perfection. Like we're in the ruins of Ancient Greece.
Hou: Gao texted me the address and it's in Mount Kinabalu. Says here.
Garga: (Sees) Hmm, No kidding. I guess we're sleeping early tonight.
Hou: This time, we're not gonna make the same mistake by taking the Bus.
Garga: Right.
As for Gao's who's staying at a hotel room, He's in his pajamas, looking through the window with his hands behind him.
Gao: Tomorrow's going to be a big day. I can't wait!!!
Batzz: You know Kid, I sometimes feel like you went overboard like just now.
Gao: Come On. If I give my spirit so half-hearted, then that wouldn't be a buddyfight wouldn't it? I had to release my full blast, not just to win but to at least show some excitement too.
Batzz: That's true. If you did become pathetic, I wouldn't be able to be release my full power. And that would be boring.
Gao: Yeah. But anyways, It's time for bed. Let's go Batzz.
Batzz: Sure. Good Night.
Gao: Good Night.
And so the night goes forth. The next day, Hou & Garga runs to the Bus Station.
Garga: Come On Hou. We're gonna miss it.
Hou: Right.
Then all of the sudden, someone stops him. It's Da Dan as he smirks forth.
Da Dan: Long time no see.
Hou: Da Dan!!!
Garga: We don't have time for this. Get out of our way.
Da Dan: No can do. (Points at them) I challenge you to a rematch. I heard you just got back and seeing you lose in front of Gao Mikado means beating you will be easy.
Hou: Nope.
Da Dan: Huh? Why Not?
Garga: Because we're in a hurry. Now Leave.
Da Dan: No No No. You're not leaving till I said you can. Come On Out Boys.
A few gangsters came out of nowhere and surrounds them while smirking while holding weapons.
Garga: What's the meaning of this?
Da Dan: They're my new pals. And we're not going to let you go anywhere.
Hou: {Annoyed} Do we really have to do this right now?
Garga: This is ridiculous.
But then out of nowhere, the same violent thunder strikes above. Everyone's shocked but they manage to dodge.
Hou: What Now?
???: If you want to buddyfight, then fight one on one for crying out loud.
Garga: That voice!!!
All of the sudden, Batzz & Gao jumps in from above, scaring the gangsters as they scream out high.
Da Dan: HUH? YOU'RE...GAO MIKADO!!!
Gao: In the flesh!!! So you're Dan Yamada...I've heard you're also a massive paltuber that promotes Bullying Content.
Batzz: That Pipsqueak? That's low!!!
Da Dan: HEY. DON'T CALL ME BY REAL NAME!!!
Hou: What are you doing here? I thought...
Gao: That can wait. For now, I suggest you buddyfight right now.
Hou & Garga: WHAT?
Gao: Don't worry. Just do as I say. I promise I'll explain why later.
Hou: Uh....(serious smile) If you insist. (To Da Dan) Okay. You're On.
Da Dan: HEH. BE PREPARED TO LOSE.
The story ends with Da Dan & Hou stare at each other with serious smirks once again.
