Synopsis: With the Final round beginning in three weeks time, The three Aces decided to meet up and train. Hou then has an idea when Daryl & Masato decide to have a rematch.
An Alarm Clock besides someone's bed ticks...after 3 seconds, the clock rang with a buzz vibrating on the spot. A hand then reaches out to stop the alarm clock. When it did, Hou then wakes up beside it. He lay out his arms wide and gets off of his bed in high spirits. Following suit, Masato & Daryl also wakes up from their homes. All three brushes their teeth simultaneously and one by one, everyone has their breakfast afterwards. Hou's having sandwiches, Daryl's having some Cereal and Masato is having some toasts and a protein bar. They all sharpen their minds with their activities. All three of them then walk out of their doors in their casual clothes. As the camera focus on them...
All: Let's Go.
Hou: (Busts out in a song & ran with Garga) Now's the time to get started. No time to waste. As a brand new (Garga Joins in) Journey begins with today.
Daryl: (Joins in and runs with Cross) Because today's the day, we surpass ourselves. And attain new (Cross Joins In) Heights. And there is no delay.
Masato: (Joins in and runs with Agito) What can I say....Our dreams are underway. And there's nothing that (Agito Joins In) WILL. Get in Our Way.
Hou: Ace Of Games.
Daryl: Ace of Studies.
Masato: Ace of Sports are here.
Hou: Time to settle the score. Nothing stands in our way. We are...Invincible.
Daryl & Cross: There's no denying that.
Masato: Because...
Hou & Garga: We always help each other out.
Daryl: Cuz As long...
Masato & Agito: as we work together...
Hou: Nothing...stands in our way right now. So I say we can do the unthinkable.
Daryl: As long as we remain fearless without a doubt.
Masato: For Share. Is what I say. Light as a feather.
All: All together. We are....INVIN...CIBLE!!!!
The Song stops and they All Meet Up Together in the Same Park where they usually hangout. Everyone's in smiles.
Hou: Hey guys.
Daryl: You're here early.
Masato: We all are.
Hou: I know. I never thought all of us would be training together.
Daryl: Just so you both know, I won't go easy on you.
Masato: For Share. I was hoping you say that.
Hou: Then what are waiting for? Let's Begin.
Both: Right.
Garga: Wait.
All: Huh?
Garga: If you all are training, what's your regimen? Like who is fighting who?
All are surprised and respond with an "uh....".
Daryl: (Pat his head) Darn. We should thought of that.
Masato: How about we just go with a buddyfight?
Daryl: No that's just too simple.
Hou: Hmmm....(Light Bulb) I know. Why don't we not just have a buddyfight, but also record our matches. This way, we can analyze them and perhaps help each other out.
Garga: Huh...Not a bad idea.
Daryl: I agree.
Masato: Nothing less from the Ace of Games. And I thought Daryl is the smart one.
Daryl: Hmm?
Masato: Heh.
Garga: Alright. Then who's fighting who?
Hou: I think I'll sit this one out for now. I do need to handle the recordings.
Masato: For Share. I've been waiting for this rematch.
Daryl: So be it.
Hou: Oh And one more thing, let's make this a little interesting. How bout a penalty for the loser?
Daryl: What kind?
Hou: Any kind.
Daryl: In that case...Masato, if you lose, you'll have to write a 10000 word report on Astrological Science.
Masato & Agito are shocked.
Agito: Wha....What? 10000?
Masato: Okay then what will you do if you lose?
Daryl: (Ponders) Let's see...perhaps the Anthem of the Linkdragon Order We Sing?
Cross: (Panics) WHAT? That's Not Necessary.
Masato: For Share. You better keep your word.
Hou sets up the fighting stage with a stage activator. The pads are up and both players stand on it and the pads move them back and the stage is being created bit by bit. Soon enough, the stage is done and set.
Daryl: I'm guided by the Celestial Stars. Luminize. Galaxy Triangulum.
Masato: The linked spiral is the chain of bonds. Luminize. Spiral Linkdragon Order.
Hou & Garga: Buddy...FIGHT.
Both: Open the Flag.
Daryl: Star Dragon World.
Masato: Ancient World.
Garga: First move goes to Masato.
Masato: Draw. Charge & Draw. Cast. Linkdragon Order's Anthem. (Acquires Gauge) I buddycall Rumbling Thunderaxe, Agito to the right.
Agito: (Appears) Alright. First off the bat.
Masato: I call Jisen to the center & Harahara to the left.
Jisen: Somebody need this gauge?
Harahara: I'm ready for a full calorie attack.
Masato: Agito. Attack the fighter.
Agito: Oh Yeah. (Attacks)
Hit. 8 life left. And Masato gains 2 life. 13 life in total.
Masato: My turn is now over.
Daryl: Draw. Charge & Draw. I equip Kaus Alnasl. (Does So) I call Sultallion to the right.
Sultallion: The stars have called me. Due to my effect, Harahara lose one soul.
Harahara: (loses a soul) That hurt.
Daryl: I buddycall Skyseer Ardent Dragon, Cross Farnese Astrologia to the center.
Cross: (Appears) Behold my new form.
Daryl: Cast. Proclaim: Battle Supplies. (Increase Resources) And I cast. Notify: Double Tactics. For this turn, Cross gets to attack two monsters at once.
Hou, Garga, Masato & Agito: {Shocked} Two Monsters???
Daryl: Double tactics requires two Astrodragon Cards on the field. By paying 1 gauge & 1 life, I can select a monster on my field. That monster can attack two targets at once.
Garga: Interesting...
Cross: And since I'm chosen, because I have the Galaxy Formation ability, Double tactics also goes to my soul.
Masato: Meaning Cross has two soul cards.
Daryl: Cross. Attack Jisen & Agito.
Cross: (Flies) Astral Laser. (Shoots)
Agito & Jisen lose one soul card as they yell.
Cross: Penetrate.
Hit. 11 life left.
Daryl: Double attack. This time, it's Harahara & Jisen.
Masato: Cast. Undying Linkdragon Order. Jisen stays on the field. Sorry Harahara.
Harahara: Good Luck. (Hit) Ahhh. (Destroyed)
Daryl: Sultallion. Follow Him.
Sultallion attacks Jisen and hits. And with penetrate, 11 life again. Now Daryl shoots with Alnasl. Hit. 9 life left. And the double attack also hits. So 7 life left.
Daryl: My turn is over.
Masato: You're Not Bad. Daryl. But...Draw. Charge & Draw. Cast. Linkdragon Order's Links. (Increase Resources) And I cast. Divine Dragon Creation. (Draw 2 cards)
Masato was able to increase his hand but...he reacts in worry in what he drew...
Garga: Hmm...[It would seem he did not drew what he need]
Masato: [Where's Emperor Agito when you need him? Oh well...] Mazuru to the center.
Mazuru is called and thanks to it's effect, Masato equips Wildaxe.
Masato: Johaku to the left.
Johaku is summoned and he swings his spear and destroys Sultallion.
Daryl: Sultallion!!!
Masato: For Share. Now you can't use Galaxy Formation Left. This is payback for destroying my allies. Cast. Linkdragon Order's Hunt. Draw three cards. (Does So)
Masato once again increases his hand but again, he did not draw the cards he need...He reacts with a struggle smile...
Masato: [Again huh?] Johaku. Attack Cross.
Johaku swings his spear and hits Cross. However, the latter revives with soulguard.
Masato: Mazuru. Follow Him.
Mazuru gets rid of the last soul card.
Masato: Agito !!!
Daryl: Cast. Notify: Blessed Rain Tactics. (Blocks)
Cross: Thanks Daryl.
Masato attacks with Wild axe.
Daryl: Cast. Mars Barrier. (Blocks)
Masato: Tch...It couldn't reach him huh?
Hou: That's Daryl for you.
Garga: Even without a monster on the left, he can still hold on. Impressive.
Daryl: My guess is that right now you don't have Emperor Agito in your hand. So you decided to call Johaku & Mazuru and change tactics instead. By destroying Sultallion, you're planning to destroy Cross & delay the finale till next turn. Am I wrong?
Masato: {Shocked} I...
Daryl: (smirks) My thoughts exactly. Too bad for you. There won't be a next turn. Draw. Charge & Draw. Cast. Ultimate Buddy. I move this into Cross's soul. I call Bart Pile to the left.
Bart Pile is summoned.
Daryl: Once Again. I cast. Proclaim: Battle Supplies.
Daryl increases his hand in the process and notices that he has his impact in his hand. He nods calmly in response.
Daryl: Cross. Attack Mazuru.
Cross attacks but Mazuru revives with soul guard. Masato then now has 6 life left.
Cross: Double attack.
Masato: Cast. Pin It Down!!! At a cost of 1 gauge & discarding one card from my hand, the attack is blocked and Alnasl cannot attack.
Garga: Smart move. Masato must have known that Daryl can make 5 attacks. Enabling him to reduce it to 3 instead.
Hou: But Bart Pile can still attack. If it lands, Masato will be at 4 life. And Daryl can cast that one card he needs to win.
Bart Pile shoots his missiles and it directly hit...Hou & Garga are surprised.
Hou: (Annoyed) I jinxed it.
Daryl: Final Phase !!! (Pays 3 gauge) Cast. Tri Star Decision.
Impact Sequence...
Daryl: Impact...Tri-Star Decision.
The Bow marks target and...it hits Masato's Side as he reacts in shock. His Side suddenly bursts out waves of smoke. Hou & Garga are surprised while Daryl remains calm...suddenly his eyes widen out. Masato seems to be still standing??? He reacts with a smirk.
Daryl: Wha...
Cross: Impossible. Our Impact hit him.
Masato smiles bright. In a flashback, it's revealed that Masato returned Wings from his dropzone to his deck. In doing so, he gains 2 life before the Impact hit him.
Masato: I may have a bad hand...but I certainly don't give up.
Daryl: But when did he...(realizes)
Daryl realizes that when Masato discarded a card when cast Pin it Down, the card that was discarded was Wings.
Daryl: That's How....
Masato: When I was gambling on hoping to Draw Emperor Agito, two of the cards I drew were Pin it down and Wings. When I noticed them, I thought why not use it as a combo. I reacted in a struggle smile earlier so that you wouldn't get noticed.
Cross: So you turned your misfortune into an opportunity.
Daryl: {Impressed} Impressive.
Hou: Nice One Masato.
Garga: Even I did not see that coming.
Masato: It's my turn now. And I'm going to win. Draw. Charge & Draw.
Hou: Masato currently has two cards left. And Daryl has Cross on the field. Sure Agito & Johaku & Wildaxe can hit. But even that won't be enough because Daryl has 12 life points.
Garga: Very Observant. But Looks can be deceiving. You have to see even the most hidden of parts where others do not.
Hou: Umm....what?
Masato: Rumbling Spiral Thunderaxe, Emperor Agito to the center.
Emperor Agito: (Appears as Lightning strikes around it) Incredible Power Flows Within Me.
Masato: With Emperor Agito's effect, I move Johaku, Agito, Kaina & Harahara tot he soul. Plus by discarding the top 3 cards of my deck, I move one more Kaina, Tategami & one more Johaku to the soul.
Hou: This means Agito has a critical of 5.
Garga: And that's not all...
Masato: Ready Agito?
Agito: Yep.
Both: Spiral Dragon Share!!!
With it, Emperor Agito now has 35000 power, including Wildaxe's Dragon Share. Cross then suddenly, lose one soul card. Daryl reacts in struggle.
Hou: Uh Oh...
Daryl: [This is bad...Earth Barrier is only defense spell I got. Normally I can just take on the onslaught but still...]
Masato: Emperor Agito. Bring Cross Down.
Emperor Agito: (attacks) For Share.
Cross & Agito duel. As Agito attempts to attack with his wings, Cross attempts to block them with his own. But....Agito has the upper hand as he lands his right claw and slashes through the latter.
Cross: I'm sorry...Daryl. (Destroyed)
Daryl: CROSS!!!
With Penetrate, Daryl now has 7 life.
Masato: For Share. Double attack.
Daryl: Cast. Earth Barrier. (Blocks the attack)
Masato: (Swings Wild Axe) Wild Axe!!! (Throws it)
7 life left.
Daryl: I still have 7 life left. Meaning you can't cast Thunder Dragon Tornado.
Masato: Except Thunder Dragon Tornado wasn't in my hand. (Holds out a card) But this is. Cast. Linkdragon Order's Renewal. Emperor Agito Stands. And...I call Quickwit, Tsumasaki to the right.
Daryl: What?
Tsumasaki: (Appears) Finally I get to perform. With my ability, Masato gets to draw a card.
Hou: It's all up to chance.
Garga: Knowing Masato, He's not giving up.
Masato taps his deck and watches it in worry...after 3 seconds, he draws a card with all his might.
Masato: DRAW!!! (notices what he got in shock) Got It.
Daryl: Oh No...
Masato: Agito. Attack!!!
Emperor Agito: For Share. (Attacks)
Emperor Agito lands his final strike and Daryl finally reaches 2 life.
Masato: Final Phase !!!
Masato's Theme Plays and Outcomes the Impact Sequence.
Masato: Cast. Thunder Dragon Tornado!!!
Agito sparks bright with thunder surrounds him and Masato once again holds his two axes. Agito spins around in a tornado and Daryl attempts to defend himself from it.
Masato: Impact. (Throws Axe) Thunder Dragon....TORNADO!!!
Daryl loses the match. The stage deactivates slowly as the pads and the fighters move back to the center spot.
Hou: Game End. Winner. Masato Rikuo.
Masato: For Share!!!
Later, all of them revisit all of the recorded footage. They then discuss all of their weakness and many more such as what they should have done so in the match. P.S. They are also sitting on a bench.
Garga: It would seem that both of you were playing quite recklessly. While you both manage to hold on, your resources have become low in the process.
Daryl: I should have increased my gauge too. Earlier I had difficulty before casting my Impact, and at the same time, I should have reserved my stronger spells for later.
Masato: When you think about it, earlier I should have kept Harahara on the field. That way even though I can't destroy any monsters, I could have at least increase my life and survive.
Garga: If there's one thing we can learn from today's match, it's all about timing and precision. Each of your playstyles were blocked for a short time. But don't forget to use your cards wisely.
Masato: Agreed.
Daryl: Yes. Okay Hou, you want to fight me next?
Hou: Sure. I'm down.
Garga: Hold it. There's one more thing we have to do. Remember? The Penalty.
Masato: Uh...
Hou: Oh Yeah That. Daryl, you lost. So...
Daryl: {Awkward} It can't be helped. Come On Cross.
Cross: {Defeated} Understood...
Masato: For Share. I've been waiting for this to arrive.
Agito: You said it. Me too.
Hou: I'm gonna record this too. For the Channel.
Anthem song plays...As they sing the anthem, all of the Linkdragon Order stand proud as they watch. And the credits are shown.
Cross: Order's Anthem. Go.
Both: The linked spiral is the chain of bonds. We all want to hear Masato say for share !!! So we join forces and fight in his name !!! Oh Yeah. We Are. Linkdragon Order. YAY.
Agito: Onto the second verse guys.
Masato: Let's sing it in honour of Daryl & Cross.
Linkdragon Order: Okay. With the linkdragon forces we, say N I C E. Cuz we always fight with pride and then we lay with ease. But never mess with us or else, we will strike tenfold. Oh Yeah. Behold. We're going with the gold. YEAH!!!
Preview:
Hou: Eden Hanazono just invited us to attend a party??? And Vile Ranma is looking for her to join him??? Next time "Advent & Ascend". Join us for a buddyfight.
Story End.
