Synopsis: The finals are underway as Masato & Hou are clashing with full force. Only one can reign supreme. Meanwhile, Ranma seems to have an announcement???
The match between Hou & Masato continues. Both players have already summoned their buddies. Hou has 8 life remaining while Masato has 7. Hou has Garga on the right, Glom on the left, and Garblade equipped. Masato, however, has nothing on the field. It's Masato's turn now.
Ion: The Helping Hands Final round is still underway. Both players have dealt damage and summoned their allies. But now it's Masato's turn. What is he going to do next?
Masato: Draw. Charge & Draw. I equip Wildaxe. (Does So) Once again, I call Agito to the right & Jisen to the center.
Agito & Jisen: Alright !!!
Masato: Cast. Divine Dragon Creation. (draws)
Ion: Masato just increased his hand by sacrificing his life points.
Masato: Tategami to the left, and I cast Linkdragon Order's hunt. (Pays 1 gauge, draws 4 cards, gains 4 life)
Tako: Now Masato has the upper hand with 9 life.
Ion: And thanks to Tategami's Dragon Share, Garga just lost a soul card.
Masato: I lost to you once, Hou. And I won't lose again. You ready for this?
Hou: Bring it on.
Both players face each other with bright confidence.
OP: Saikkou.
Attack phase commences.
Masato: I'll start by disposing of that numbskull who keeps interfering with us. (Attacks Glom Gardra)
Glom: (Hit) I failed. (Destroyed)
Masato: Agito. Attack Garga.
Hou: I cast. Gar-Energy. Garga gains 3000 defense.
Garga: And I get to counterattack. (Destroys Jisen)
Jisen: Oh, Come On. (Destroyed)
Masato: JISEN !!! Well played. Agito. Attack the fighter.
Agito: (Attacks) For Share.
Hou received 2 damage, 6 life left.
Masato: Tategami. Do the same.
Same no guard. 5 life left. Tategami attacks a second time.
Hou: Cast. Blue Dragon Shield. (Blocks the attack)
Masato: Then I'll deal with you myself. (Attacks)
It hit. 4 life remaining.
Masato: My turn is now over.
Ion: Now Hou's on the ropes with 4 life remaining. He's really a candle in the wind.
Tako: It's a good thing Masato did not cast his impact. Or else the game would have been over.
Ion: Now it's Hou's turn, and he just cast Dragogenius to increase his hand.
Hou: Gardog to the left.
Gardog: You howl, I answer dog.
Hou: I gain 2 gauge. Cast. Demon Lord Dragon Roaring Blast.
Masato's forces are being destroyed as they yell.
Masato: Oh Man!!!
Hou: Normally, if you have Jisen on the field, destruction wouldn't be possible. That's why I cast Gar Energy and took my chance.
Daryl: {Impressed} Smart Move.
Cross: {Impressed} Even I didn't see that coming.
Hou: I draw two cards. Garga, Attack Agito.
Garga: As you wish. (Attacks)
Hou: [If I can destroy Agito, he can't call King Agito next turn, and my chances of victory will increase.]
Masato: I cast. Undying Linkdragon Order. (Blocks the attack)
Hou: Oh, Come On.
Masato: Sorry, Hou. But I know you're blocking my chances.
Hou: Darn it. Garga. Attack the fighter instead.
Garga: Right. (Attacks)
Ion: Masato just received 2 damage, meaning he now has 9 life left.
Tako: And Gardog also attacked. It hit and thus 7 life left.
Hou: (Attacks) Here's Garblade.
Masato: Cast Again. Undying Linkdragon Order. (Blocks the attack)
Hou: Double attack.
The attack hits with Hou lands a slash. 7 life again.
Hou: Gargantua Dragon. G-EVO activate. Change. Gargantua Dragon, Sonic Mode.
Garga: (G-EVO) Sonic Mode.
Ion: It's G-EVO Time. And thanks to that, Hou's life and hand increase rapidly.
While drawing, however, Hou noticed one of the cards he drew in small shock. He remains unfazed after that.
Garga: Let's go. (Attacks)
Garga successfully deals damage, 5 life left.
Ion: It lands. Now Masato has 5 life remaining. Does this mean Hou's going to cast his impact???
Hou: Unfortunately, no, my Impact is not in my hand. My turn is now over.
Masato: Oh. [Strange...] (Flashback) [Earlier that small shock when he drew. If it's not his impact, then what is it? ]
Masato looks at his opponent with seriousness. Hou's reaction is strong and stern as he holds his ground. Confident as ever. To Masato, he believes...
Masato: [I shouldn't underestimate him since he has grown. But. I must win this. ] Draw. Charge & Draw.
Masato drew his impact and smiles in confidence. He carries out a card and summons...
Masato: Spiral Thunderaxe, King Agito to the center !!!
King Agito descends once again with a bright golden flash and strikes across the stadium.
King Agito: (Roars) Incredible power flows within me !!!
Ion: THERE IT IS. SPIRAL THUNDERAXE, KING AGITO DESCENDS.
King Agito: Right Now. I have myself, Jisen, two Haraharas, and two Kainas in my soul. Brace yourself, Hou Ren, because this is going to be wild.
Masato: Here we go, Agito.
Both: SPIRAL DRAGON SHARE.
Once again, Agito sparks gold, and he enhances himself.
Masato: For Share. King Agito. Attack the fighter.
Ion: King Agito now has a critical of 4. And thanks to the two Haraharas, Masato gains 4 life.
Hou receives 4 damage, 2 life remaining.
Masato: Double attack.
King Agito: Right.
Hou: Cast. Deity Blue Dragon Shield. (Blocks) I gain 3 gauge.
Masato: Not Bad. But you still won't win. (Attacks)
1 life left.
Masato: Time is now. Final Phase.
Hou is shocked.
Masato: Cast...Thunder Dragon Tornado!!!
Impact sequence. King Agito yells loudly as lightning surrounds him. Masato holds two golden lightning axes. The Tornado spins forth and is about to strike Hou.
Masato: Impact. Thunder Dragon Tornado !!!
The Tornado strikes and hits Hou countless times. When it hits Hou, Hou's finally hits 0.
Garga: HOU !!!
Masato: For Share.
Hou: Cast !!!
Masato & King Agito: WHAT???
Hou: Dragod Crystal.
Hou's Life becomes 1 ???
All: WHAT???
Hou: As Long As I have a copy of Garga in the dropzone, my life points become 1 instead.
Masato: IMPOSSIBLE !!!
Ion: OH MY GOSH !!! JUST IN THE BRINK OF DEFEAT, HOU JUST PULLED AN UNO REVERSE CARD AND JUST TURNED THE TABLES THAT'S UPON HIM.
Garga: Nice One. That's My Buddy For You.
Masato: Wait...
Masato remembers the moment Hou drew a card thanks to Sonic Mode. He's shocked.
Masato: THAT WAS IT!!!
Hou: Sorry, Man. But it's my turn now.
Hou stomps the ground, and his eyes once again become Cat-Like. His confidence level becomes maxed as he grits his teeth. His Blue Spirit starts to shine around him.
Hou: Draw.... Charge....AND....DRAW !!!!
Ion: WOAH. Hou never become like this before. He just puts his whole energy into drawing his card.
Hou: I cast. Dragonic Heal. (Gains 2 life) Okay, Garga & Gardog. We're ending this now.
Garga & Gardog: Right!!!
Masato: Not so fast. I have one last trump card with me. I cast. Linkdragon Chain Blocker.
All of Hou's cards are suddenly bound by chains, which came out of nowhere!!!
Hou: What the???
Garga: I can't move!!!
Gardog: Neither can I!!!
Masato: I normally require 2 gauge and 1 life, but since King Agito is here, I don't need to. With this spell, your cards can't attack.
Ion: Say What??? That means, Hou can't make any attacks !!! What is Hou going to do?
Hou's eyes are currently blocked by shade.
Hou: (smirks) So what? What am I going to do? (Holds out a card) This is what I'm going to do.
Masato: {confused} Sorry?
Hou: Cast. Combat Deity Pulsation!!!
Masato: Combat...Deity Pulsation???
Hou: I drew this card during my last moment. Discarding the top 4 cards of my deck. If Garga is revealed, I can call it.
Masato: Wha?
Garga: [My Buddy...may fortune smile upon you.]
Hou slowly discards the cards 1 by 1. Everyone watches this anxiously, minus Daryl & Cross. Sweat is running down the two players' foreheads. The first three are all fails. And now the last one...Hou discards it and...It's Garga himself!!! Hou is surprised before going...
Hou: YES. Gargantua Dragon to the Right!!!
Garga reverts to his original form and yells aloud.
Garga: I rise up once more!!!
Ion: Oh My Gosh. Hou just summoned Garga back through Sheer Luck!!! Incredible!!!
Masato: But what will Garga do? You can only make like 2 or 3 attacks, and King Agito has a 6-card soul.
Cross: He has a point. Even if Hou G-EVO, it still won't do much.
Daryl: Yes, but...(smiles) Knowing Hou, I'm sure he's about to create something that not even I can counter.
Hou: Who says I'm done? I also cast, Gar-Cmon. I send Gardog to the dropzone and call Garcat to the left.
Gardog is replaced.
Garcat: (Appears) Woohoo. Here I am. (To Hou) Draw, Hou. Use Me.
Hou: I hear you. (Draws) YES. Cast, Gargantua Again. I stand Garblade back up, and since Garga's on board, another 2 critical.
Masato: Huh???
Hou taps his spell towards the chained-up Garblade, and it makes the sword surround itself with orange flames. The flames are so strong that they burn away the chains and destroy them. Masato & Agito are shocked.
Ion: All of Hou's cards are standing again???
Cross: {Awkward Smile} Okay. Hou's luck is something else!!!
Daryl: {Awkward Smile} Oh dear... My rival can be too strong sometimes.
Okay. Garga. Attack King Agito.
Garga: As you wish. (Attacks)
Garga strikes King Agito down with a strike of his sword. King Agito revives with Soulguard. 5 souls left.
Garga: Double attack.
It hit again. 4 souls left.
Hou: Garcat!!!
Garcat: Leave it to me.
Masato: But wait, Garcat doesn't have enough power. So why?
Hou: (chuckles) During my first charge and draw, I sent Gar-Advantage to my gauge. When I summoned Garga back, I purposely sent it to the dropzone.
King Agito: Then that means???
Ion: Garcat now has 10000 power???
Garcat powers up and charges forward, flying and knocking his head towards King Agito's neck.
King Agito: AHHHH. (Revives) Ergh... Well played...
Hou: Given that you have no cards in hand. This game is mine.
Hou jumps up and attacks with a flaming Garblade. He moves Garblade back and forward again while creating a flaming slash towards the beast. King Agito yells aloud. 2 souls left.
Hou: One more time. (Swings Garblade up and down, creating a flaming strike towards the latter)
King Agito's hit but revives once more. 1 soul left.
King Agito: That's nothing.
Hou: Say that to Garga's Blast Mode. GO.
Garga: (G-EVO) Blast Mode!!!
Masato is quite worried and stern at the same time in a defensive stance.
Ion: G-EVO Time!!! And now that Garga is in Blast Mode, this means the last two attacks cannot be blocked!!!
Hou: Give him a swift ending, Garga.
Garga: As you wish. (Attacks)
King Agito: I won't let you. (Strikes back)
Garga yells out loud with his two swords while King Agito flies up and also fights back. Both monsters clash with Agito using his wings and Garga using his swords. It's rough, and both parties just focused on offense. Eventually, Garga lands two slashes on the latter.
King Agito: Arghhhh!!!! Sorry, Masato. (Destroyed)
Masato: AGITO !!!
Ion: KING AGITO IS DOWN FOR THE COUNT!!! Incredible!!! With just three spells and then this!!! The Ace of Games is out of this world.
Masato: But I'm still in the game. I still have 13 life left. And you're out of attacks.
Hou: I wouldn't be so sure. I cast, Gargantua Tactic, Triple-Timer. I stand Garblade once more. And 2 damage to you. (Creates a Flaming Strike)
Masato: (Being Hit) AHHHHH!!!!
Masato's Life: 13 -> 11
Ion: Whoa!!! Hou finally dealt some damage towards him.
Hou: {smiles} What do you say, Masato? We settle this like men?
Masato: {smiles} Ergh. Nothing I can do. Bring it on!!!
Hou and Masato charge forward with their items and fight at the center arena. Masato swings Wildaxe at the latter and Hou suddenly dodges it. Hou attacks with his sword and Masato pulls back his chain and blocks the strike. They both let go and go weapon with weapon as they clash. Masato blocks Garblade with the Axe but, Hou pushes his sword forward and slices the Axe in half, much to his shock before..
Hou: (rushes forward, pierce) HA!!!
Masato: Ough!!!
Masato's Life: 11 -> 5
Masato: Uh Oh...
Hou: Final Phase!!! I cast, Deity Gargantua Punisher.
Impact Sequence.
Hou: IMPACT!!! DEITY...GARGANTUA...PUNISHER!!!!
Punisher lands it's blow towards a frightened Masato. Masato's flag is down.
Ion: Game End. Winner, Teng Hou Ren.
Hou: (raise his arm up high) Let's go!!!
The crowd cheers loudly. Daryl & Cross are clapping their hands. Well, minus Cross since he's clapping with his wings.
Cross: He never stops, does he?
Daryl: Nope. My rival is an odd one.
Agito: (Comes out of his card) Aww man. Just a little more and we could've won. I demand a recount. How does he keep beating us?
Masato: Yeah, well... he's good. [I could be wrong, but I think he planned this from the beginning. He's something else.]
Masato & Agito walk up to their opponent.
Masato: Congrats, Hou. You truly are the Ace of Games. You deserve it.
Hou: Thanks, Masato. You fought well, too. Fight again sometime?
Masato: Of course. Anytime.
They both shake hands, and Garga joins in too.
Garga: You fought well, my buddy. I'm so proud of you.
Hou: Thanks...Partner.
Hou & Garga fist bump. Now outcomes the moment when the award ceremony commences. All of the previous competitors, except for Ranma & Jasraj, are there beside Ion & Tako as they hold the tournament trophy.
Ion: And with that. The Helping Hands Tournament has come to a close. Please join me in congratulating our champion once again, from Class 7E of Helping Hands Academy, Mr Teng Hou Ren.
The Crowd cheers loudly.
Tako: (Presents) Viva. This is for you, chu.
Hou: (Accepts the trophy) Thank you so...
???: STOP RIGHT THERE.
All: Huh?
Everyone's surprised to HEAR a voice. Suddenly, A massive screen just appeared in the middle of the air. And before that screen is....Ranma??? He seems incredibly serious and Angry.
Hou: RANMA !!!
Garga: What's going on?
Ranma: YOU DON'T DESERVE THAT TROPHY. YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE THE RIGHT TO CALL YOURSELF THE ACE OF GAMES.
Hou: Wha...What are you saying man? I thought...
Ranma: (interrupts) You thought? Nah Man. I'm done playing pretend. From this day forward, we are no longer friends. Nothing more, nothing less.
Hou: HUH????
Intro Segment Plays.
Both: Whaddup Pals.
Hou: Hey guys, it's us again, and we're going to introduce a special card.
Garga: This is today's card. Check it out.
Hou: Gargantua Tactic: Triple Timer. It can be cast during the attack phase. Like Gargantua Again, you can stand one of your cards on the field. However, the difference is that instead of 2 critical, it's 2 damage dealt to the opponent instead.
Garga: Further, this spell requires you to have attacked 3 or more times. It also requires you to choose exactly one deity dragon tribe monster.
Bonus: It allows you to draw a card.
Hou: Though just to be sure, I recommend using both Gargantua Again and Triple Timer. The opponent can play tricks on you, and these two cards are failsaves. Choose wisely, though.
Garga: What do you think of today's card? I hope you can use it well in your next buddyfight match.
Hou: Till next time.
Both: CHECK US OUT.
Anime Ending: Buddy Funny Days
Hou: I won the fight, but then suddenly Ranma just dropped the bombshell on me. Next time, "Goodbye Friendship, Hello Betrayal". Join us for a Buddyfight.
Story End.
