Synopsis: Hou Ren & Shiloh want to go on a date. Hopefully, there's no third-wheeling coming around...
In the previous story, Seiji and Daryl face off. Seiji once again blocked his Galaxy Formation. Daryl, however, found another way to regain his Galaxy Formation and win the game in one turn.
Anime Opening: Black & White.
The Sun shines bright in the middle of the sky. An excited Hou Ren walks by while carrying a bouquet of Sunflowers. He is dancing around in joy, going happy-go-lucky. He arrives at a hotel room and knocks on the door. And Shiloh opens the door in response.
Both: Hey !!! (Hug in joy)
Hou Ren: Someone's looking impressive.
Shiloh: Says you. (pecks his cheek)
Hou Ren: (blushes, waves) Hi Mary.
Mary: (Behind Shiloh) Hey.
Hou Ren: (Realize) Oh, right, these are for you. (Hands the flowers)
Shiloh reacts to the flowers in joy as she blushes brightly with her palms covering half of her face.
Hou Ren: I forgot to ask what your favorite flower is, so if I had to guess, it would be a Sunflower because you shine bright like the sun.
Shiloh: Thank you !!! Sunflowers are my favorite.
Hou Ren smiles warmly. Mary, however, walks up to him looking all angry and childish and overprotective. She straight points to his chest while Hou slowly leans back and defends himself.
Mary: You're not gonna take her to anywhere illegal, are you?
Hou Ren: (Scared) What? No?
Mary: You promise to bring her home by 5?
Hou Ren: Yes.
Mary: Good cause, if you don't, I'm gonna make you choke a lot of ice cream so that you will get a massive brain freeze.
Hou Ren: Okay, Okay. I get it. Calm down.
Mary: (Back to Normal) Okay. You both can go now. Have fun.
The two walk in the hallway.
Hou Ren: No offense, but your sister is scary.
Shiloh: Yeah, Mary can be like that sometimes. Big sis protection.
Hou Ren: Oh...
As they walk, Hou then suddenly comes in and hugs from beside, much to Shiloh's surprise.
Shiloh: Huh? What are you?
Hou: I kinda wanna do it.
Shiloh: (Blushes) Hmm...(Also hugs back, chubby) Heh.
Now Hou blushes and looks away with a smile, and they continue walking towards the elevator.
Later, the two spend some time together. They enjoy some Ice cream, Noodles, and Starbucks drinks. Went on a shopping spree. Take a lot of pictures...Even watching a funny movie. They are having so much fun with bright smiles on their faces. They later sit on a bench.
Hou Ren: This brings back memories.
Shiloh: Yeah...Remember us having our first date?
Hou Ren: I know. We have to sneak out that day.
Shiloh: And our families didn't suspect a thing. And you know what's my favorite part?
Hou Ren: What?
Shiloh: It's seeing you wearing your shirt the other way around.
Hou Ren: (Blush in surprise) Wait, what?
6 months ago, when Hou Ren came out to meet Shiloh, his long white shirt was worn the wrong way. Back to the present, Hou Ren feels ashamed of looking down and humiliated.
Hou Ren: Dang it...(Back to sense) Two can play in that game. Your makeup was missing one eyelash.
Shiloh: (Blush) Wha...
Again, same day, Shiloh's left eye was missing her makeup. Now Shiloh's the one feeling ashamed.
Shiloh: Oops...
Hou Ren: Hehehe. Got you.
Shiloh: Okay. We'll call it a tie. More importantly...
Shiloh blushes and smiles warmly as she leans forward onto his shoulder. She grabs Hou Ren's hands.
Shiloh: I love you. (Peck his cheek)
Hou Ren: (Blushes) I love you too. (Peck her cheek)
The two snuggle on their heads for a bit.
Hou Ren: You're so cute.
Shiloh: (Blushes) Hmph.
???: I found you.
Both: Huh?
The two turn their attention. They notice a woman with long Drill hair with a bow-like ribbon complimenting her golden brown hair. She wears very exotic eyeliner to make her eyelashes bigger. A massive purple gown with a purple underdress, with an exotic white scarf-like over-shirt. Her outfit has 2 pink under-shoulder-like objects as she dons a special blue brooch. She wears golden high heels.
Hou Ren: Can I help you?
???: Who? Me? Maybe you should be the one helping me. Mr Hou Ren.
Hou Ren: Do I know you?
???: Well...
The woman moves forward and gets super close to Hou Ren's face, attempting to flirt.
???: Aren't you a cutie?
Hou Ren feels awkward and disgusted and moves his head back.
Hou Ren: (Push her back) Okay. Who are you?
???: Teehee. I am the Queen of Attention and the Empress of Royalty, Ageha Goharku.
???: (Appears) And I'm her buddy. Eternal Envoy, Aettir.
The two stare in confusion.
Hou Ren: Okay, well...what do you want?
Ageha: Simple...I want you to become my boyfriend.
Both: WHAT?
Ageha: You heard me right. The leader of the Draknights and a superstar hottie. I guarantee this will get a lot of paparazzi for my career!!! and I'm such a HOTTIE. (Takes selfies)
Aettir: Ahhh. You're such a genius, Lady Ageha.
Both: (Even more awkward) What?
Shiloh: She just wants you for fame?
Hou Ren: Why...For the record, I can't.
Ageha: Huh? Why not?
Hou Ren: No offense, but you're not my type. Now Shoo.
Ageha: (Stunned) Ahh....Oh no no no... You know what, I challenge you to a buddyfight. If you can't be mine, I'll make you be mine.
Hou Ren: (closed his eyes) Pass.
Ageha: Awwww. Why not?
Hou Ren: I'm on a date for crying out loud. Also, I don't have my deck with me.
Shiloh: Wait, you don't?
Hou Ren: No, of course not. Like it's a date, I don't need to buddyfight. No?
Shiloh: Well...
At a buddyfight stage, the two fighters are about to face off. Shiloh is in the spectator's area and Ion & Takokichi appear.
Ion: Yay!!! Whenever there's a buddyfight you can find us, Ion & Takokichi. It's the prelims of the Gaen Cup and two fighters are about to face off.
Tako: Featuring the Ace of Games, Hou Ren versus the Empress of Royalty, Ageha Goharku.
Ageha: With a baptism from the divine deities! All of your sins will be forgiven! Just kidding. Luminize! Hype-Hype Paradise!
Hou Ren: Once upon a time, the maiden blooms bright. Exploring the wonder of fantasies. Luminize, Folktale Wonderland.
Ion & Takokichi: Buddy...Fight.
Both: Raise the Flag.
Ageha: Divine Guardians!!!
Hou Ren: Dungeon World.
Ion & Takokichi: EHHHHH ??? Dungeon World !????
Ion: But why??? I thought Hou Ren's flag was Dragon World.
Takokichi: What in the world is going on?
Hou Ren: Shiloh kinda lent me her deck so that I can fight.
Ion: Well...as far as I'm concerned, it's not against the rules to switch flags...Either way (Ahem), Ageha is using the Divine Guardians Flag. Which is incredibly rare.
Hou Ren: It's a flag that allows her to use cards with "Guardians" in its attribute...Bonus, it's the same flag Guru used long ago. (Thought) And with Shiloh's deck, can I win?
Meanwhile, in Hou Ren's bedroom, Garga was meditating. His phone just buzzed, and this piqued his interest.
Garga: What's this? (picks up his phone)
The moment Garga sees what's going on on his phone, he is flabbergasted.
Garga: WHAT? Why is Hou Ren fighting? Also...His deck is at home. I thought he and Shiloh were on a date...
Hou Ren: Draw. Charge and Draw. I equip Slayer Biblio. (Equips Item) Jordan to the center.
Jordan: (Appears) I'm under your command, Master Hou Ren.
Hou Ren's Life: 9 -> 10
Hou Ren: Attack the fighter.
Ageha's Life: 12 -> 11
Hou Ren: My turn is over.
Ion: Hou Ren finishes his turn after dealing one damage. Now it's Ageha's turn.
Ageha: Draw. Charge & Draw. I set Gate of Pardon, Forgiven. Ability activate. I return one of my hand cards to the deck, and I buddycall Eternal Envoy, Aettir REB to the right.
Aettir: (Appears) Yay. Time for some paradise.
Ion: There's her buddy.
Ageha: Deity Dragon Envoy, Muriel to the left.
Muriel is summoned.
Ageha: And I pay 1 gauge & 1 life to equip...Nirvana Violin, Heaven's Marius. Muriel, Attack Jordan.
Muriel: Leave it to me. (Destroys Jordan) When I destroy a monster, Lady Ageha gains 1 life. Moreover, I have double attack.
Hou Ren's Life: 10 -> 9
Ageha: Aettir. Follow Him.
Aettir: Certainly. (Squeeze Him)
Hou Ren's Life: 9 -> 7
Shiloh: He's getting suffocated.
Garga: I definitely don't want to be caught in a tight squeeze.
Ageha: Now..(Attacks) Here I come.
Hou Ren's Life: 7 -> 4
Hou Ren: I thought that item had a critical of 2.
Ageha: When I have 3 or fewer cards in the dropzone, it gains 1 critical. My turn is over.
Ion: Incredible. Ageha dealt 6 damage in one turn. Let's see how Hou Ren responds.
Hou Ren: Okay, Emma. It's your turn. Buddycall. (Gain 1 life)
Emma: (Appears) I'm under your command, Master Hou Ren.
Shiloh: Emma!!!
Ion: My, Hou Ren didn't buddycall Garga but Emma instead.
Hou Ren: Alice to the left. And Henry to the center.
Both monsters are summoned.
Hou Ren: Henry's ability. I set Happiness Wonderland. (sets) If there's one thing I know about Guardians, it's the amount of Life points they have and how often they clean their dropzone.
Ion: (confused) That's two things actually...
Shiloh: (confused) Do you even know how to count?
Hou: (closes his eyes, brushes them off) Please, no heckling, thank you. And in English terms, it's still counted as one thing. Anyways, Emma, attack Aettir. (rests Emma's card)
Emma: Roger that. (Attacks)
Hou Ren: With Emma's ability, I choose Wonderland. (ability)
Wonderland's soul increases to one.
Hou Ren: And with Wonderland, I draw 2 cards.
Ion: Incredible. This means Hou now has 6 cards in hand.
Ageha: Not so fast. Cast. Heavens Shield. The shield of Paradise. (Blocks)
Ageha's Life: 13 -> 14
Ageha: Furthermore, I activate Aettir's ability. I return 3 cards from my dropzone, and I gain 2 life and draw a card.
Hou Ren: Typical Guardians. Cleaning their dropzone just like I said. Emma.
Emma: Right. (Attacks)
Ageha: No, No, No. Aettir's second ability. Hype-Hype Calling.
Aettir disappears the moment Emma lands her picnic basket, much to her confusion.
Ageha: Aettir returns to my hand, and I get to call another monster.
Hou Ren: She swapped her monster with another one?
Shiloh: But that's my thing.
Ageha: Swoop Envoy, Angelus to the center.
Angelus appears.
Ion: Aettir just used substitute-jutsu and just swapped herself out with another monster.
Hou Ren: Alice. Attack Angelus.
Alice: Roger that. (Destroys Angelus)
Henry: (Attacks) Here I go.
Ageha: Cast. Deity Of Law. Muriel to the center. (Muriel moves) Sorry, Muriel.
Muriel: Good Luck, Lady Ageha.
Henry destroys Muriel.
Alice: My ability activates. Henry.
Henry: Right. (Moves to Biblio)
Alice: Once More. (Attacks)
Ageha's Life: 16 -> 14
Hou Ren: And Last, there's me. (Attacks)
Ageha's Life: 14 -> 13
Hou Ren: I also activate Slayer's effect. Alice goes to Wonderland.
Alice vanishes and Hou stabs the ground, inflicting one damage with a lightning shock.
Hou Ren: My turn is now over.
Ion: Hou may have dealt some damage, but it wasn't enough to take away Ageha's life points. That's Divine Guardians for you.
Shiloh: Aside from that, Hou Ren knows my playstyle well.
Garga: He used other decks before, and he watched how Shiloh fights. Combining those gave him the experience he needed most.
Ageha: Maybe. Maybe Not. But I'm ending this now. You'll be mine and maybe we'll have a ship name..."Hype Hype Knight" or "Cutie Pies".
Hou Ren: (disgusted) Uh...No.
Shiloh: (disgusted) Absolutely not.
Ageha: My turn. Draw. Charge and Draw. Forgiven's ability. I return 3 cards from my dropzone to my deck and gain 1 life.
Ion: Once again, Ageha cleans her dropzone.
Ageha: And now, Forgiven's other ability activates. I return one hand card and call a monster from my deck.
A massive divine monster is being summoned from the deck.
Ageha: It's too bad. But I thought you would be skilled. Time to deliver your judgment.
The monster calls himself. His form looks divine with many wings behind him.
Ageha: Supreme Guardian of Paradise, Avalon Utopia.
Avalon: Those who seek to invade paradise have committed a great sin and will be punished accordingly.
Ion: Wha wha wha what is that divine monster???
Garga & Hou Ren: Avalon !!!
Garga: A powerful deity that governs the land of Nirvana.
Hou Ren: I read about it in Guru's Ancient Texts. But evolved? No.
Ageha: Avalon has a critical of 2. When I have 3 or fewer cards in the dropzone, he gains 2 more. And when there's none, his attacks cannot be nullified when attacking alone. And he has double attack kyun!!!
Hou Ren: That's it?
Ageha: (surprised) Huh?
Hou Ren: I have 6 words for you: I'm only going to use one spell.
Everyone's shocked!!!
Ion: Wait. Wait. Wait. What? Only One? Are you Crazy?
Ageha: (Teases) Oh My. So this must mean you want to be my boyfriend so badly, ey? I figured you came around. Well then, Avalon. Get Him.
Avalon: Those who invaded paradise will be punished. Seraphim Exorcism.
Avalon fires many divine rays from behind, and Hou receives a bunch of attacks as he blocks with his bare hands.
Hou Ren's Life: 6 -> 2
Ion: Oh No!!! Hou Ren's in a pinch!!!
Shiloh: And to make matters worse, Avalon's next attack will...
Ageha: This will end you. Avalon's double attack.
Avalon: Begone, child of preserving life. (Fires)
Hou Ren: Shiloh. Lend me your strength. I cast. "Hou Ren & Shiloh, Yin & Yang"
All of a sudden, the pink Yin & Yang appear from below and alter both players' life points, and swap them. Everyone's surprised.
Ageha: What???
Ion: What just happened??? Their Life Points Switched???
But Avalon's attack still remains, forcing him to go down to 9 Life.
Shiloh: He survived!!!
Hou Ren: Ergh...I'm not going down easily!!! Besides, remember earlier when I said Guardians can increase life points? Well, I just played the Uno Reverse Card People.
Ion & Takokichi: Incredible!!!
Garga: Nice One.
Shiloh: (Glad) Hou!!!
Ageha: (Impressed) Are you kidding me??? I never heard of swapping life points!!! It's too hype. Too Out of this World. (sigh, defeated) Fine. My turn is over.
Ion: It's Hou's turn now. If Ageha survives this, then she might have a chance.
Shiloh: Go get her. Hou. You can do it.
Hou Ren: Draw...Charge....And....Draw!!! I cast, Red Riding Blessing. Should Emma be on the field, I gain 2 gauge, 1 life, and draw 2 cards.
Ion: Whoa. Hou just increased his life points to 10. What a major difference.
Ageha: Avalon, move to the center.
Hou Ren: Emma. Attack Avalon.
Emma: Right. (Attacks)
Hou Ren: With Emma's effect, I move one more card to Wonderland's soul. (Does So) Now that Wonderland has 3 soul cards, all of my cards gain 15000 power and 2 critical.
Ion: THAT MEANS EMMA NOW HAS A WHOPPING POWER OF 22000???
Hou Ren: With the effect of Red Riding Blessing in the dropzone, when Emma attacks, I move it to Slayer Biblio's soul.
Ageha: Well played. But I Cast. Heaven's Shield. (Gains 1 life)
Emma: Double attack.
Ageha: Cast. The Shield of Justice will Never Shatter! (Blocks)
Hou Ren: (Holds a card) I'm not done yet. Emma. You know what's coming. Ready?
Emma: Do it, Hou. I'm ready.
Hou Ren: Alright!!! I pay 2 gauge and call to the right.
Emma immediately wraps herself in pink and red clothing. Immediately, she emerged as Godcape Dragon.
Godcape: Tada.
Shiloh: Godcape !!!
Ion: UNBELIEVABLE. Emma just transformed into a Dragon????
Ageha: Wha....WHAT?
Hou Ren: Since Biblio has 4 soul cards, combined with Happiness Wonderland's 3 soul cards, Godcape now has a critical of 10.
Ageha & Ion: 10 !?
Shiloh: Okay...he knows my deck too well.
Hou Ren: Godcape's attack cannot be nullified, and she has penetrate.
Ageha: What???
Ion: An attack of 10 Critical that cannot be blocked too??? Incredible, Shiloh's deck is strong!!!
Hou Ren: Godcape. Finish her.
Godcape: With pleasure. (Attacks) Dragon Breath...the End.
Ageha: Cast. Forgiven's Shield. I return 3 cards from my dropzone to my deck. If I have no cards in the dropzone, Emma's critical is reduced to 0.
Godcape & Hou Ren: WHAT?
But Godcape's attack still destroys Avalon...
Hou Ren: Very well. You want me so bad? (Summons his wings behind him) You got it.
Everyone's shocked.
Ion: WHA WHA WHA? SINCE WHEN HOU REN HAS WINGS???
Takokichi: My Jaw dropped. Those are absolutely out of this world.
Garga & Shiloh: Fly Hou Ren.
Hou Ren flaps his wings and flies to the sky. Wielding his sword, he swings in for one last assault.
Ageha: AHHH...TOO HYPE. TOO MUCH. TOO OUT OF THIS WORLD.
Ageha's flag is destroyed.
Ion: Game End. Winner. Hou Ren.
The Crowd cheers. Shiloh feels incredibly glad. Garga is impressed.
Ion: Spectacular. Hou Ren uses a different flag and defeats one of the rarest flags. Talk about a major mix-up. As a result, Hou Ren's points bump up big time. Ageha, unfortunately, is dead last..
Ageha: No...
Later, outside the stage. Sunset arrived.
Ageha: Wahhhhh, I've lost. I'll get you soon enough. Just you (runs away) WAITTTTTTTTT.
As she runs away, Everyone else watches this awkwardly.
Hou Ren: What just happened?
Shiloh: Not sure...(grabs his hand) Anyways, you did it!!!
Hou Ren: Thanks, Shiloh. But you're the real victor since it's your deck.
Shiloh: No, you deserve it. (Kiss his cheek) Anyway, I'm quite tired. Let's head back.
Hou Ren: Sure.
The two went back to the hotel and were scared and surprised to see a scary and angry-looking Mary right in front of the door. She crosses her arms and glances in anger. Flames are really behind her.
Hou Ren: Uh....hey, Mary, how you doing?
Mary: Do you know what time it is?
Hou Ren: Uh....5:01?
Mary: Exactly. You're late. You're supposed to be back by 5.
Hou Ren: WHA? NO FAIR. It's just one minute.
Mary then holds two medium buckets of Ice Cream with sheer anger...She literally makes a JoJo Face while doing so.
Hou Ren & Shiloh: (Afraid) Uh Oh...
Anime Ending: Gonna Be Right.
Hou Ren: The prelims are almost over, and we have a case to solve? Wait...Da Dan??? Next time, "R is for Revenge". Join us for a Buddyfight.
Story End.
