Synopsis: Lost Ren faces the well-known cheat, Davide Yamazaki, in the second round. Both with different beliefs, with the same reason to destroy. Which side will win?
In the previous story, Hou Ren once again faced unfair backlash alongside Shiloh. This caused them to break up. Ranma challenges him, and Hou Ren was able to revive his spirit and unlock his God Form. This wins the game but ends with sad outcomes...
OP: Black & White
On Live TV, Ion & Takokichi appear.
Ion: Hello, Everyone, Ion & Takokichi here. Today, we are going to bring news regarding the second round of the Gaen Cup.
Takokichi: Originally, we wanted to explain the rules yesterday. But with Ranma's request, we decided not to. Nevertheless, we are going to explain how it works. Here's how.
A diagram of the Second Round appears on screen.
Ion: It is called the "Three-Life Royale". The 16 Contestants must once again fight each other within a two-week time limit. They will be given three lives. Lose a match and they lose a life.
Takokichi: And if all three lives are down, the contestant is out. Once the first 8 players are out, the second round is over, and we will proceed to the final round.
Ion: One more thing. All contestants cannot fight the same opponent more than once. To all contestants out there, good luck, and may fortune smile upon you.
Later, at a mall, Lost Ren is staring at his phone with his arms on the balcony. He is watching Ranma & Hou Ren's fight. He is stern as he also remembers the breakup.
Lost Ren: (Sigh) (Thought) In every story, there's always love. But lurking within, there's also hate. As much as I hate to admit it, I felt bad for him. (Clenches his fist) It's back to square one. Why?
???: Well, well...
Lost Ren: (Thought) He was down in the dumps for a week. But after finding his joy again and discovering his sense of purpose, he was able to unlock his God Form. Interesting...
???: Hey, I'm talking here.
Lost Ren: (Thought) Yet they both decide not to go back together. Hou may be an idiot, but as far as I know, he's always been treating Shiloh like a queen.
???: Would you please Pay Attention to me !!!
Lost Ren: (Annoyed, turns) What do you want?
Davide: Are you deaf or something? It took me three times to call you.
Lost Ren: Sorry, but I don't answer to pathetic low-life cheaters like you.
Davide: How dare you? I'm gonna make you eat your words.
Lost Ren: Hmph. (Holds out his deck)
At the stage.
Ion: Here I am again bringing updates on the second round of the Gaen Cup. It's the shadow of the Draknights, Lost Ren facing the well-known cheat, Davide Yamazaki.
Tako: Actually, hold on, we've noticed Davide cheated in his previous matches, and according to the committee, he's still in the game.
Davide: Heh. It's Obvious. I got special permission, Boneheads. (Laughs maniaclly)
Lost Ren: You won't beat me. (Luminizes) Blanket all light and shatter improper rights. Dark Luminize, March Of The ONI.
Davide: (Luminize) It rocks so hard it crushes. Dark Luminize, Spectral Black Slayers.
Ion & Tako: And...Buddyfight.
Both: Raise the flag. Darkness Dragon World.
Ion: Davide goes first.
Davide: Draw. Charge and Draw. I equip Evil Death Scythe. (Equips and attacks while laughing maniacally) Here's Davide.
Lost Ren's Life: 10 -> 8
Ion: And with that, Davide's turn is over.
Lost Ren: I equip Gar-Lost Haken. (Equips Item) I also buddycall to the right.
Deity Gargantua Dragon REB enters the play.
Ion: (confused) Huh? Wait a sec. I thought Garga had evolved.
Lost Ren: Zenith is Hou's buddy. Not mine. I would rather use my own power to fight.
Davide: Heh. Looks to me you have downgraded--
Lost Ren: (Interrupts) Instead of boasting around, why don't you shut up and let me get on with my turn?
Davide: Say what?
Ion: Lost Ren casts Black Drain to send cards to Davide's dropzone. He also casts Gar-Lost Oracle to increase his hand and life.
Tako: And because Davide has 3 cards in the drop zone, he also receives 2 damage.
Lost Ren: Garga. Dispose of Him.
Davide's Life: 8 -> 5
Lost Ren: Double attack.
Davide: Cast. Black Dragon Shield. (Gains 1 life)
Lost Ren: My turn. (Attacks)
Davide: Cast. Midnight Shadow. (Blocks the attack)
Lost Ren: My turn is over.
Davide: My My. No Dead End Ringer? Shido told me about how you defeated him. I was expecting more, you know. Ah, well, I'm going to fill so much despair in your life that you're gonna--
Lost Ren: (Interupts) Did I ask?
Davide: Ack?
Ion: Oh boy...Lost Ren stole his thunder twice.
Takokichi: For Real Chu. No wonder he's Hou's Dark Side.
Davide: Tch. Someone's chosen Death. Draw. Charge and Draw. I cast, Abyss Symphony. (Draws 2 cards) I buddycall Deathgaze REB to the right.
Deathgaze: (Appears) I'll tear you all Limb From Limb.
Davide: I call Ve Veil to the left
Ion: With Veil's effect, Davide gains a gauge and draws 2 cards.
Davide: I cast, Merciless Predator. And if that's not enough, I also cast Joker's Wild. I pay 2 gauge and 1 life, and for this turn, all of my cards gain 2 critical and Triple Attack.
Ion: Incredible. He's going to launch a heavy onslaught.
Lost Ren: Oh, Please. I cast. Corrupted Snare. (Eyes Glow)
Deathgaze looks into Lost Ren's eyes and is suddenly forced to rest in fear.
Davide: WHAT?
Lost Ren: By paying 1 gauge and 2 life, one of your cards cannot attack. But it's a shame you don't have 10 cards in your drop since I can't block all instead of one.
Davide: Grrr. Fine. Ve Veil. Crush that Insignificant Deity Gargantua Dragon REB.
Ve Veil attacks and destroys Garga.
Davide: Spectral Strike!!!
Lost Ren's Life: 8 -> 7
Lost Ren: Soulguard.
Garga revives.
Lost Ren: Counterattack.
Garga counterattacks on Veil.
Ion: Ve Veil is Out!!!
Davide: I can still activate Deathgaze's ability. I call the destroyed Ve Veil back in.
Ve Veil is back in and attacks.
Lost Ren: I Cast. Devil Stigma.
Garga is destroyed.
Ion: Say what? He destroyed his buddy?????
Davide: Coward. (Attacks)
Ve Veil attacks again.
Lost Ren's Life: 8 -> 5
Davide: Kill Him. Kill Him. KILL HIM.
Lost Ren's Life: 5 -> 2
Davide: (Laughs Maniacally) You're Down To One Life. I'M GOING TO MAKE YOU REGRET INSULTING ME. (Attacks) HERE'S DAVIDE.
Lost Ren: I cast. Black Dragon Shield. (Blocks)
Davide attacks again.
Ion: Davide attacks two more times, but Lost Ren cast two spells of his own to block him. Incredible!!!
Davide: Erghh. (Thought) Who is this guy? How does he keep standing??? Whatever...since it came to this...
Davide cheats by grabbing a card from his pocket. Ion & Tako are shocked.
Ion: He did not just do that.
An unknown silhouette who was spectating saw the entire scenario and commented...
???: That Guy Gives Buddyfighters A Bad Name.
Meanwhile, Lost Ren, however, seems unfazed.
Davide: (Laughs Maniacally) And here I thought you would stop me since I cheated. I guess you really are afraid.
Lost Ren: Why would I be afraid? If anything, do I even look afraid right now? Do me a solid, quit squabbling, and just finish me off.
Davide: Huh? (Laughs) I guess the second-ranked Draknight is such a loser after all. You lost to Hou, and now you're gonna lose to ME. (Holds out his card) But if you insist. FINAL PHASE. (Pays 2 gauge) I CAST.
Davide holds a dark energy ball, and as he slowly crushes it with his bare hands, Deathgaze is slowly being tortured by Davide. Davide crushes it, and Deathgaze gets destroyed and becomes a bigger dark energy ball.
Ion: (Terrified) I don't believe it....Davide just destroyed his own Buddy.....
Davide: Heh. It's Slow Pain...Annihilation!!!!!
The Energy Ball charges towards Lost Ren. When the impact hits, an explosion occurred from Lost Ren's side, leaving everyone shocked.
Ion: I don't believe it. Lost Ren...Lost...
Davide: HAHAHAHAHHA. NO WONDER HE IS CALLED LOST REN. HE ACT SO TOUGH, YET LIKE I SAID, HE LOST TO ME.
The Smoke clears itself slowly, and Lost Ren is seen with his forehead shadowed while standing.
Davide: I....I don't understand. How is he still standing?
A flashback reveals Lost Ren survived by casting Unscathed Lostknight. That spell allows him to pay 2 gauge and not take any damage from impacts. With Davide having more than 5 cards in his dropzone, Lost Ren drew 3 cards.
Lost Ren: Is that really all you got? Honestly, man, I'm disappointed. I didn't stop you earlier because I wanted to see how far you would go. And I must admit, I've seen enough.
Davide: You..
Ion: Unbelievable. Lost Ren survived by the skin of his teeth.
Takokichi: My jaw dropped.
Lost Ren: I've seen your match with Masato, and I prepared some countermeasures. Spectral Strike? More like "Spectral Fail". You really are an "A-class Scumbag" like Hou said.
Davide: (Taken Aback) Y...you what?
Lost Ren: That's not all. I also...know that you're the one who leaked false rumors regarding Hou & Shiloh's relationship.
Davide was shocked. In a flashback...
Lost Ren: I asked Agent Ren to trace the anonymous account. And guess what, it leads to you. But in order to get further proof, Me and the Silent Slayers secretly followed you. And you were foolish enough to say aloud about your actions while speaking on your phone.
Flashback End. Lost Ren plays a recording through his phone, which reveals Davide's actions.
Ion: WHAT? Davide is the mysterious Leaker???
Davide: I...How did you...
Lost Ren: And now, you said I lost to him. Just because I'm second-ranked.
Suddenly, Lost Ren's corrupted aura begins to flow around him. His hatred began to show as his expression went from calm to demonic.
Lost Ren: For the record, I don't need a title. And I certainly don't need you to compare my skills with his. And let me say it. I'll do whatever it takes to grasp power with my own hands. (Clenches his fist) I'll surpass him with my own strength.
Lost Ren's corrupted aura grows stronger and powerful. Dark Energy and lightning surround him like crazy. His eyes become electrified in a strong, dark way. Everyone feels surprised.
Lost Ren: You, however, are nothing but a pathetic cheat. If there's one thing I despise, it's cheating scumbags like you.
Davide: Whoa...What are you...Doing?
Lost Ren: Something...I haven't felt in a long time. Yes, I can feel it. Incredible Power Surging Through Me. More. More. MORE.
The ground starts to rumble at a very intense rate.
Ion: What's...Happening To Him?
Lost Ren's Lightning taps his deck, and a card is created and hands itself to him.
Lost Ren: TRANSFORM!!!!!!!
Lost Ren is being wreathed in a corrupted lightning tornado. Lightning strikes like crazy, and the field's tiles start to go off instantly. Now the stage is a corrupted land with powerful and giant crystals popping out, surrounding the fighters. Everyone feels shocked and scared.
Lost Ren: (Budges out of the tornado) Attribute Deity Dragon Tribe, Black Dragon...And Dragod. Size 10. Infinite power. 10000 defense and a critical of 5. I cannot be destroyed; leave the field, and my abilities cannot be nullified. I am Shrouded In Divine Nothingness, Lost Ren...OVERLORD!!!(Yells Loud)
What's before everyone is a corrupted ONI with four hands. The arms were quite Massive, like the arms of a powerful beast. The Legs are also the same. ONI wings are shown behind him. His face has become a powerful ONI, as a set of horns is on his head. Everyone is very astonished.
Ion: WHAT THE HECK. WHAT IS THAT THING LIKE WHAT?
Davide: (Terrified) You....What....This is....
Lost Ren: Your Worst Nightmare. (Charges Corrupted Energy Through his Palm) ERASURE...OF...CREATION. (Shoots Energy At All Of Davide's Cards)
All Of Davide's Cards Are Instantly Wiped Out. Davide's shocked.
Ion: WHAT THE WHAT? ALL OF DAVIDE'S CARDS ARE INSTANTLY WIPED OUT.
Lost Ren: Thou Just Experienced Nothingness. Cause when I'm placed, your cards are null and void. And for each card disposed of, you must discard the same amount.
Davide is forced to discard 3 cards...
Lost Ren: I'm not done. (Holds out a card) A deity who returns everything to the void. Transcend before me and purge all foes. I Summon Thee. Oblivion's Arrival, Gargantua Crystal King.
Dark Thunderclouds arise. Lightning Strikes. A deity appears, and Garga has now become a Dragon-ONI hybrid Monster with 4 Monstrosity Arms. He now has 2 sets of Crystal Wings. His Chest Crystal becomes huge and purple. His horns are enhanced. Once again, Everyone is shocked.
Ion: YOU'RE KIDDING ME. GARGA HAS GAINED A NEW POWER TOO.
Davide: How...Can This Be?
Lost Ren: Lost Cat to the left, and I activate its ability (ability). And now it's time for the main event. G Crystal.
Note: Lostcat is in its original form.
Davide: G....Crystal?
Lost Ren: Summon your cards, and I guarantee they will lose their power, defense, and skill. And because I have less than 6 life, he also attacks everything, and he cannot be countered.
Davide: WHAT?
Ion: Voiding Skills, Power & Defense? Attacking everything? And Prevents Blocking? Incredible.
Garga summons a corrupted crystal staff and hits the ground with it. Suddenly, Davide is crystallized. He is stunned.
Lost Ren: Slaughter him. Slaughter his entire soul so that he can never arise again.
Garga attacks. The Staff becomes a crystal scythe. There was no life. Created to Obey. Once the scythe struck, it smashed the Crystalized and frightened Davide to pieces. The shards fall down after being hit.
Davide: (Hit) AHHHH.
Davide's Life: 6 -> 2
Ion: Uh Oh. Davide is done to 2 Life. If either LostCat or Overlord's attack lands, the game is over.
Lost Ren: Finish Him.
LostCat: Right. (Attacks)
Davide: I cast. Black Dragon Shield. (Blocks the attack)
Lost Ren: Resistance Is Futile. (Attacks)
Davide: I cast. Black Dragon Shield. (Blocks the attack)
Ion: Say what? Davide just used Black Dragon Shield TWICE.
Davide: HAHAHAHA. I still have four life remaining. I win!!!
Lost Ren: Crystal King's effect. LostCat becomes the fodder. (Destroys LostCat) I also dispose of two hand cards. (Does so) And I end my turn.
Ion: Huh? That's it?
Lost Ren suddenly shoots into the air, and suddenly, the entire environment turns grey. Everyone's surprised. All of a sudden, corrupted chains came out of nowhere and tied Davide up everywhere.
Davide: WHA?
Ion: What just happened? All Of The Sudden, Chains Came Out Of Nowhere, and Davide Was Tied Up.
Lost Ren: What's impossible Becomes Possible. Because with Crystal King, I gain an extra turn.
All: WHAT?
Lost Ren: (Flies) FALL FROM GRACE WILL YOU, DAVIDE YAMAZAKI!!!!!
Lost Ren fires a massive corrupted attack at Davide and.....
Davide: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
As Davide's Flag is Destroyed.
Lost Ren: I win.
Ion: HOW? HE DIDN'T EVEN DRAW A SINGLE CARD.
Lost Ren: At the beginning of my turn, since I'm Overlord, if you have no cards on the field, I win the game regardless of the opponent's life points.
Davide: IMPOSSIBLE!!!
The Crowd Cheers loudly.
Ion: UNBELIEVABLE. LOST REN WON THE GAME WITHOUT DESTROYING THE OPPONENT'S LIFE. FIRST HOU WAS ABLE TO EVOLVE, NOW LOST REN TOO??? WHAT'S WITH THE KNIGHTS NOWADAYS? SOMEBODY EXPLAIN.
Davide falls down, defeated and stunned, as Lost Ren returns to normal and walks up to him.
Lost Ren: Broke my brother and Shiloh's hearts. Taunted me nonstop. Snuck a card in from your pocket, and yet you couldn't win a single game. Pathetic. (Walks away)
Davide looks at Lost Ren fearfully. As Lost Ren walks to the spectator side with his hands inside his pockets, the same unknown silhouette stops him.
Lost Ren: Hmm?
???: You should have arrested him, you know.
Lost Ren: I know you...Rouga Aragami.
Anime Ending: Gonna Be Right.
Lost Ren: Rouga has arrived. What does he want? Meanwhile, why is that gorilla here? Next time, "Wolf's Fangs". Join us for a buddyfight.
Story End.
