He pointed. "Um.." Then Andrew came. "Hey Tai, this could be a good chance to use the new stage!" Tai looked at Yudai. He had determination in his eyes. "Alright, you're on!" "Great!" Stella got excited. "Yay, I can see Tai fight in person!" They went to a room and stage was there. "How did you make this, Andrew?" Rosena asked. "The Buddyfight Association or BFA for short, sponsor all card shops across the world for making stages since Fight for the Title was a big success." "Wow, the Buddyfight world changed after that didn't it?" "It did. We even got alot of newcomers for it." Said Stella. "Oh look, they made it on." Tai and Yudai rose to the stage. "Are you ready Yudai?" "Yea!" "Light and hope will lead the fray, Shogun ∞, set!" Tai's core case changed into a blue bracelet. "Burn through the darkness and ignite the soul, Vermilion Dragon Descent, set!" Yudai's core case changed into an arm-deck holder with the Japanese fire sign on it."Raise the flag!" "I fight for Dragon World!" "I also fight for Dragon World!" "This should be good! They're both using Dragon World!" Hallie was getting excited.

Tai went first. "Charge and draw. I pay 1 gauge and discard 1 card, to equip Dragonblade, Dragoblade. I call Extreme Sword Dragon, to the left then Bear-Trap Fang Dragon, to the right. I attack the fighter! I end." "Draw, charge and draw. I call to the center Bronze Shield Dragon. Then I call Double Sword Dragon, to the right. I cast Dragonic Charge. Next I pay 1 gauge. Proud and loyal, help defeat this champion! I replace Double Sword and call Spiral Lance Dragon!" A red dragon wearing yellow armor holding a massive flame lance. "Nice buddy. I never seen it before." "Thanks." Yudai looked down. "My dad gave it to me before cancer got the best of him." The girls are now a little depressed. "That's sad." Blair said. "I'm sorry." Tai said. "You didn't do anything. He left a note with it. Burn through the darkness with an undying fire. That's what it said. So I plan to challenge the top fighters in the world. That's where you come in Tai." "Make sense, but you won't beat me!" "I was hoping this would be a good one."

Stella was careful analyzing them. "Is it me or there's seems to be flames around them?" They all looked. They saw flaming auras around them. "We see it." They all answered. "Now I use Lance's effect. If I control another Armordragon, it gain a critical. Spiral Lance and Bronze Shield link attack against the fighter! I end." Score: Tai-6, Yudai-11. "You want a challenge, here it is! FINAL TURN! Draw, charge and draw. I cast Dragonic Charge! I pay 2 gauge! Born from an inferno, the fiery whirlwind appears on the battlefield! I retire Extreme Sword to buddycall to the left, RISING FLARE DRAGON!" The whirlwind appears with flames roaring through the air, revealing the dragon. "So that's Rising Flare Dragon. It really looks powerful up close." "Are scared?" "No." Stella screamed. "Oh my gosh! There it is the mighty Rising Flare Dragon!" Yudai was confused. "Tai, I didn't know you had a fangirl." "I didn't either."

"I use it's effect! Destroy Bronze Shield Dragon! Fiery Whirlwind! I cast Buddy Charge! Then I can charge again because my buddy is on the field. Now Rising Flare attack the fighter! Next is Bear-Trap! Then me!" "Wow that was an onslaught of attacks." "I'm not finished yet! Final Phase! I pay 5 gauge." "Here it comes!" Stella said excitedly. The flames dragons appeared. "IMPACT! ROARING SLASH! GARGANTUA PUNISHER!!!" "AHHH!!" Tai won. Final Score: Tai-7, Yudai-0. The rankings appeared on a screen. Tai Rhinehart-8079. "Wow, you are strong and you have the highest rank." "Yea but that was fun!"

"Well, I'm gonna continue my training. See ya later." He left. Then Stella hugged Tai. "That was amazing!" Then rest of the gang appeared. "You ended it early." Said Blair. "Yea..." He looked at the clock. "Oh man! I got to do some stuff for my dad! Bye guys!" "See ya!" He left. He was running fast. "I can't believe I forgot!" Then Heat Edge in card form appeared. "What is it Heat Edge?" "There's trouble." "Where?" They went to a portal behind a building. "What is it?" "I don't...." Before it can finish talking, the portal suck them in. "WHAT'S GOING ON!?!" They disappeared. But then Tai came out but beaten up. "Heat Edge..."
