Tetsuya: W-W-WHAT?!!!!

Team Rage and Team Balle Du Soleil had gotten together, after the match with Team Goddess had concluded.

Azure: Yeah. The girl you all knew as Terumi Kuchinawa was actually my sister.

Aurora: Aurora Kaito, i-it's nice to meet you all!

Kuguru: Talk about a twist!

Ryu: Well now that THAT'S out of the way, shouldn't we answer the obvious question?

Azure: Oh yeah, thanks man- HOW DID YOU SURVIVE?!!!

Aurora: Well, I'm still not sure how I lived long enough myself...

She looked outside, seeing Kyoya still sitting.

Aurora: I was apparently out of it for months. The first person I saw when I woke up was Kyoya. I honestly should've died, but apparently his Buddy and a Void Dragon were able to reach me.

Ryu: A void Dragon?

Blaze: Didn't see that coming.

Aurora: He told me I was abandoned by the adults there. I was so confused at the time I actually believed it. Then he told me I might have to quality to control Disaster Force and Save the-

Her eyes widened before she could say anything.

Aurora: WAIT, THERE'S SOMETHING IMPORTANT I HAVE TO TELL YOU ALL!!!!

Erica: What is it?

Aurora: Kyoya is planning something dangerous!! It could be the end of Earth as we know it!!

Zanya: The end of the Earth?

Drum: Hold on, that pretty boy couldn't possibly have a way to do that could he?

Ryu: ... It may sound crazy, but I wouldn't count it out for a second.

They all looked at the serious look on Ryu's face.

Ryu: You all didn't see what I did that day. Kyoya's Buddy is so powerful he could take down Jack in his strongest form. If Azi Dahaka is any indication, then there's nothing we should leave up to chance.

Before anything else could be said, they all heard an explosion.

Baku: All of you, come check this out!!

They all went to the window, as they saw a shocking sight. Keith was fighting against Kanahebi, as the ninja was on a single knee, with Fafnir out.

Kanahebi: Argh, how is this possible?

Keith: Come on Kanahebi, you can't tell me that you haven't much stronger since I left Sengoku.

Fafnir: Wrath of the Void!!!!

Lasers shot at Kanahebi, taking out the rest of his Life Points.

Paruko: What a match!! The Keith Victor, also known as the Dark King of Sengoku Academy, has just defeated his former Teammate Kanahebi on just his second turn!! What's more, he did it by using Darkness Dragon World!!!

Baku: So that's Emperor Void Lord Dragon Fafnir huh? That monster is seriously wicked.

Gao: It's especially bad for a guy like Kanahebi. His whole strategy is setting traps on the field. With Catastrophe, it all just becomes useless.

Kuguru: Out of all the Darkness Dragon World monsters, I think the Void Dragons are the strongest. And they just might be the strongest DRAGONS too.

Ryu: WOAH WOAH WOAH!!! Let's not get crazy!

The crowd seemed to be in an uproar, as Keith left without a word. After that, Karma came up on the stage, much to the shock of many watching.

Paruko: W-W-WHAT?!!! Karma Gemini, a member of Team Rage has actually come to fight for Team Chaotic!!

Coming up for Team Sengoku was Shosetsu, as he looked wary once seeing Karma's Dark Core.

Shosetsu: 'She uses a Dark Core?'

Karma: Come on, everyone's got things to do here. Welcome to the Eternal Nightmare. Be reborn as the Ultimate Demons!! Dark Luminize: Shadows of the Queen!!

Shosetsu: A Thousands Swords Defeating the enemy with a Thousand Vows!! Luminize: Fortress of Swords!!

Paruko: Okay everybody say it with me!! BUDDY~!!!

All: FIGHT!!!!

Karma&Shosetsu: Time to Raise the Flag!!

Karma: Danger World!!

Talon howled, ready for battle.

Shosetsu: I fight for Legend World!!

Karma: Charge and Draw!

Karma
Life: 10
Gauge: 3
Hand: 7

Karma: I call Armor Demon Eagle Rage to the Center!!

The blood red eagle came flying in.

Karma: Now I get to destroy one of your cards.

She snapped her fingers, as a dagger went through one of Shosetsu's cards, revealing Excalibur.

Karma: Oooh, that was your best card too. But let me tell you, it doesn't stop there. Cause if you think one Eagle is annoying-

A second was called to the right.

Karma: How about two?

Eagle: RAGE DAGGER!!!

Karma snapped once again, as another card was destroyed. This time, it was Holy Grail.

Shosetsu: Not again!

Paruko: Today Karma is showing off a new Deck, and even without attacking we can already see it's not one to be trifled with!!

Karma: Now I set Demonic Force. Go attack Center Eagle.

The angry bird flew in before slashing Shosetsu with his talons.

Shosetsu Life: 9

End of Move

Shosetsu: My turn. Draw!! Charge and Draw!!

Shosetsu
Life: 9
Gauge: 3
Hand: 5

Shosetsu: Even if I can't use Excalibur in this fight, I won't back down!! I call to the Right: Knights of the Round Table King Arthur, and to the left: Great Magician Merlin!! And I Equip Immortal Sword Durandal!!

Shosetsu Life: 10

Shosetsu: King Arthur, Merlin, do a Link Attack on Eagle!!

The two heroes went in, destroying the demonic bird.

Paruko: With King Arthur's ability, he can give Shosetsu back 1 Gauge, AND gain the ability to penetrate!!

A shockwave hit Karma, as she was almost completely unfazed.

Karma Life: 8

Shosetsu: DURANDAL!!!

Shosetsu attacked Karma with his sword.

Karma Life: 7

End of Move

Karma: I'm back up. Draw! Charge and Draw!

Karma
Life: 7
Hand: 4
Gauge: 4

Karma: Let me let you in on a little secret about your Buddy Durandal.

Shosetsu: What?

Karma: It's not the Original. This was only a name it was given because of it's power.

Shosetsu: How would you know about that?!

Karma: Simple. I pay 2 Gauge and Equip.

She held a hand card up, as the Eagle on the field was destroyed.

Karma Life: 8

Karma: Dark Blade of Betrayal, Durandal. This is the real deal.

Shosetsu: Durandal, is what she's saying true?

Durandal: I-I don't know. I've heard that there were others blades that bared my name but...

Karma: Now, let me show you how this blade got the name Betrayal. The effect of Durandal is a go.

She discarded two cards, with her gauge being increased to 8.

Shosetsu: What?!!!

Karma: I can discard a card to increase my gauge by 3. Usually having a single hand card could be a problem, but not with this. I Cast: Wrath of Sin!!!

Kuguru: I've never heard of that spell before!

Azure: It must be unique to the evolution of the Armor Demons.

Karma: With just 2 Gauge, I can draw until I'm back at 6 hand cards.

Erica: That's seriously bad news for Shosetsu.

Ryu: Even if it's because of the Dark Core, there's no denying Karma's new deck crazy dangerous.

Karma: Now, I Call Armor Demon Minotaur: Sloth!!

A tired, but deadly looking Minotaur appeared in the center, wielding a powerful battle axe.

Armor Demon Minotaur: Sloth
Size: 2
Power: 8000
Defense: 5000
Critical: 3

Minotaur: Zzz...

Shosetsu: Is that monster sleeping?

Karma: Don't worry about him. He won't be able to attack this turn, but his effect more than makes up for it. When being destroyed for a card to enter the field, I can get 3 Gauge.

Karma Gauge: 9

Karma: Now time for a Buddy Call!!

Talon leaped in, howling.

Karma: Armor Demon Talon: The Fenrir!!

Paruko: There it is!! The evolution of Karma's already powerful Buddy has taken the field!!

Karma Life: 9

Karma: With Minotaur devoured, that brings Talons power to 18000, his defense to 11000, and Critical to 5 until my next turn! And I'll get life back thank you.

Karma Life: 12

Shosetsu: How can a monster reach such a level?!

Karma: Get ready, cause we're on the attack. I'll attack with Betrayal Durandal!!

She leapt forward with her blade in hand. Shosetsu gritted his teeth, before leaping in as well. They clashed blades, with sparks flying everywhere. However with a slash of Darkness, Shosetsu was knocked back.

Shosetsu: ARGH!!!

Shosetsu Life: 7

Karma: Double Attack!!

She struck the swordsman once again.

Shosetsu Life: 4

Karma: Talon, attack!!

Talon leapt forward to Shosetsu, as even though he was safe in the game, a feeling a fear crept upon him.

Shosetsu: I Cast: Holy Grail!!

The attack of the wolf was blocked, as he leapt back.

Talon: You have some battle sense Shosetsu. Rather than blocking one of Karma's attacks, you waited until I came to finish you off.

Shosetsu: 'These two are terrifyingly powerful.' Gemini, I just need to ask you something.

Karma: Fine, ask away.

Shosetsu: Why would you willingly accept the Dark Core with skills like yours? True you might be stronger, but you obviously didn't need it!

Karma: ... Sure, I'll be the first to admit part of me was drawn to its power. But I've already explained myself once. I'm keeping this Dark Core to prevent it from controlling anyone else.

She stuck her Durandal into the ground, before grabbing a card.

Karma: To be frank, no one on Team Chaotic is attached to each other. Right now, I'm fighting, completely on my own, and that's how I can fight at my best. I thrive when my backs against the wall.

He pupils went slitted.

Karma: Danger World is a perfect match for me in that sense. Final Phase!!

Azure: I almost forgot, one of her best cards.

Ryu: If there's one or more Armor Demons out on the field with an Item, 5 or more Armor Demons in the drop zone, and just 2 Gauge, she can deal 4 damage to the fighter that can't be nullified.

She pulled Durandal from the ground, with pieces of the ground flying up, with she and Talon glowing in a purple light.

Karma: ARMOR DEMON: DEMOLITION!!!!

They leapt at Shosetsu, slashing through him with an explosion occurring.

Shosetsu: AHHHHHHH!!!!

Shosetsu'a life hit 0, with his flag being destroyed.

GAME OVER

Winner: Karma Gemini!!

Karma: Feel free to challenge me again after the tournament.

She walked away as the crowd was in awe.

Aurora: Th-This is the first time I'm actually seeing Karma battle in person. She's a scary kind of strong.

Zanya: I'm betting everyone on Team Chaotic is a different kind of monster.

Erica: And to think we still haven't seen the third member.

Ryu: I would've thought it might've been you Aurora. What with all of us seeing all the Disaster members.

Aurora: Well, it might've been but...

Azure: Actually, that reminds me of something. How exactly DID you end up on Team Goddess? You and Suzuha had never met.

Aurora's left eye twitched at this, although she didn't say immediately.

Aurora: U-Uhm... Okay, but just try not to get too angry.

Azure: ... I don't like where this is going.

Aurora: Well, I saw Gao's Buddyfight against Kabala, and when I went to Shido to tell him that I'd suck it up and be on a team with him, he told me I was actually kicked out of Disaster. After I tried to leave he sorta... Well he just-

ELSEWHERE

Shido: YOU MEAN SHE'S AZURE'S SISTER?!!!!

Shido was panicking, as Sofia delivered the news to Team Darkness Master Mind.

Sofia: Dah.

Davide: AHAHAHAHA!!!! MAN WHEN HE FINDS OUT WHAT YOU DID YOU'RE TOAST!!!!

Shido: I-I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT!!!! I did nothing that would warrant his-

Right then, a dragons roar could he heard from rooms away, as the ground shook.

Azure: YOU'RE A GOD DAMN DEAD MAN MAGORUKO SHIDO!!!!!!

Shido paled when hearing this, as Gallows came out laughing.

Gallows: Looks like Sh-Sh-Shido's gone and made his biggest blunder yet!!

Gremlin: Just so you know, we're not changing the order of the match. You're going first, and you just better pray it isn't Azure fighting first.

Shido's shook in his boots, as his bladder threatened to empty right then and there.

TIME SKIP!!

Erica puffed her cheeks out, as she Ryu Blaze and Kirisuji were in the Buddy Pit.

Erica: -_- I wanted to fight too...

Ryu: You can get a chance in the next round.

Paruko: Now it's time for the next round!! First up we have the crowd favorite to win the tournament, Team Rage!! They were the winners of the Aibo Cup, and now are looking to claim another victory here!! Up first, we have Azure Kaito!! As we've seen from him plenty of time in the past, he fights with unthinkable power, and has skills that that can go toe to toe with the best of them!!

Azure came up, tapping his foot while looking at the other stage.

Azure: 'OOOOOH if I see Shido there I'm gonna thrash him!!'

Paruko: And next for Team Darkness Mastermind we-

A screen popped up in front of her.

Paruko: Huh? We have a video presentation?

A video was projected in the sky, with the back of a certain male wearing a red cape being seen.

Sueroku: When you think of the greatest fighter of their Generation, only one name comes to mind!! He fights with strength, intelligence, and an artistic beauty!! And his name: Is Magoruku Shido!!

Ryu: ... What even is today anymore?

Erica: You know, maybe I'm okay with missing this fight.

Sueroku: Get ready for the player you've all been waiting for!! HIT IT!!!

Azure's anger only seemed to climb, as slowly but surely, his frown began to curve.

Sueroku: Stunning live broadcast, tonight!
Heroic warrior steps out of the shadows!!
Inspired fighting style...
Destined for floaty!!!
Our next superstar is born!!!
Note that the first letter of each lines spells his name!! MAGOROKU SHIDO!!!!

Adamantine: Oh boy.

After quite a long slide show of his "Special Moments" since his birth, the fighter finally arrived, feeling far more confident with the ego boost he received.

Paruko: Ahem... Okay... Sorry to keep you waiting for so long, Magoroku Shido has arrived!!

Shido: I PROMISE A ONE TURN VICTORY!!!!

Everyone began to cheer, as Ryu could only buckle over in laughter when hearing this.

Ryu: AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Blaze: HA!!! Yeah right!!!

Azure had a smirk on his face, as anyone who knew him could tell he had never been more livid, as his hair began to flutter, while his eyes glowed bright.

Azure: I guess the first move will be mine then.

Gremlin in the cockpit only deadpanned.

Gremlin: -_- This isn't that kind of deck, and you're already done.

2 MOVES LATER

Shido had an awkward smile on his face.

End of Move

Paruko: So much for that one turn victory, but let's be honest, it was never gonna happen after what Azure did on his first turn.

Shido
Life: 8
Gauge: 2
Hand: 4

Azure had summoned Adamantine on his first turn, as with his ability, the Shadow Dive of the Death Rulers became completely useless.

Shido: Uhhh, can I have a do over?

Gallows: Ge- Sh-Sh-Sheh!! No do over for you.

Azure: Nope. Now I sincerely hope you kissed your career goodbye!!! Draw!!! Charge and Draw!!!

Azure
Life: 11
Gauge: 1
Hand: 6

Azure: Now, I Cast Kingly Charge!!

With that, Azure's gauge was increased by 4.

Azure Gauge: 5

Azure: Once again, Kingly Charge!!

Azure Gauge: 9

Azure: Next I Equip: Dragon King's Blade: Arondight!!!

Using 3 Gauge, he equipped the sword, as this time he noticed an Aura around it.

Azure: Strange.

He shook his head, and looked back at Shido with a devious smirk.

Azure: Now, I Evolve Adamantine!!

Adamantine glowed in a golden aura roaring, before his transformation was complete.

Azure: Dragon King Adamantine Tyrant Ruler!! Now time for his effect. Discarding the Top Card of my deck, I gain life equal to it's Life Link, and you take Damage equal to it.

Azure drew a card, revealing Adamantine Desolation.

Azure: That's a Life Link of 5.

Azure Life: 16

Shido: NO NO NO!!!!

Adamantine: TYRANT BLASTER!!!!

Golden energy fired at Shido, as it exploded once nearing him.

Shido Life: 3

Ryu: And with that, it is IMPOSSIBLE for you to lose this.

Azure: Now Adamantine, attack Gallows!!

Adamantine: TYRANT DRAGON SPIRAL!!!!

Adamantine blasted through Gallows, destroying the monster.

Azure: ARONDIGHT!!!!

Azure jumped and slashed Shido, hard enough to send him into the wall.

Shido Life: 1

Azure: YOU'RE FINISHED!!!!

Shido: N-NO!!! I Cast Black Dragon Shield!!!!

Shido blocked Azure's second attack.

Shido Life: 2

Adamantine: Don't forget, I'm here too.

Adamantine flew into the air terrifying Shido. Sueroku ran to Shido side in an uproar.

Sueroku: STOP TRANSMITTING THIS BROADCAST IMMEDIATELY!!!! THIS FIGHT IS HEREBY DISQUALIFIED!!!!

Shido: DADDY SAVE ME!!!

They hugged each other.

Sueroku: I'm here for you my son!!

Azure: Awww, I'm touched...

They looked at Azure, seeing his face was as angry as before.

Azure: Sike. Don't mess with my family.

Adamantine dropped in front of the two, as the pair's hearts began to do backflips.

Adamantine: If you anger my Buddy, the wrath of the Dragon Kings will destroy you!!

He brought his fist up, as it glowed in a bright golden light.

Shido Men: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

He brought his fist down, with the Darkness Dragon World Flag being destroyed.

GAME OVER

Winner: Azure Kaito!!

CHAPTER END!!
