Synopsis: Ever since Gao's defeat against Hou has appeared, people have been wanting to fight him constantly. This is where we get to see more on the power of G Boost.
Continuing from the previous story, The three Aces & their buddies meet face to face after Hou & Garga exit the doors. Everyone's shocked to see each other & the wind just moved their clothes.
Hou: Why are you standing around here for?
Masato: What do you mean why we're standing around? You're doing the same thing.
Daryl: Just why didn't you tell us that you're gonna meet Gao Mikado In Person. People call him the "Mighty Sun Fighter" for a reason.
Hou: (Scratches the back of his head) Sorry Guys. I was in a rush. And in my defense, even if I did, you wouldn't have believe me so...
Cross: He does have a point.
Daryl: Cross, even if that's true, I would have asked to use you to do some spying.
Hou: Look, I'm sorry for keeping as a secret. Why don't we go home together? I explain everything on the way. Deal?
Everyone else but Garga: {Determined} Deal !!!
As Hou look at their determined faces, he thought to himself while feeling awkward "Oh Boy...this is gonna be long one".
OP: Undead.
A Bus suddenly leaves and everyone walks home together on the streets. They continue the conversation as they walk. However, the Ace of Studies & Sports are pretty much in shock.
Hou: And that's pretty much the story.
Masato: So let me get this straight. You met him on the streets. Fought him once and lose. You went to some random ancient shrine in Mount Kinabalu. Your Squad Evolves, Went to Train for Three Days Straight and then you finally won?
Hou: Yep. What you said is true.
Daryl: I've seen the first fight myself not gonna lie. You both were holding your ground. But the difference is that you were sloppy.
Hou: {Defeated} Don't remind me that. But yeah thanks to him, my spark was reignited. And I feel like me again, you know what I'm saying?
Cross: I'm curious, when you said "Trying all three instead of one", where do you get the idea from?
Garga: Uh...About that...
The same porridge Hou's Mother cooked 3 days earlier showed up in their imagination. Everyone feels awkward as they smile.
Masato: Really? You got that Idea from a custom Made Porridge?
Daryl: You're really an odd one, Hou.
Hou: My mom tried all three custom ingredients. So I kinda got the idea of going back to the drawing board and try all of our ideas instead.
Garga: I find it strange but that's why we went to Tasuku's VR Facility to train. (Flashback) We fought in many different simulations. Trying out all of our strategies. Eventually, we found what we were looking for. (End)
Daryl: Aside from all of that, I never imagine there would be an ancient buddyfight shrine all the way in Mount Kinabalu.
Hou: None of us do. Every 10 years, two buddies may visit the place. Should they prove themselves as true buddies, they gain the Shrine's Power.
Masato: For Share. You and Garga are forever inseparable.
Hou: Bonus fact. The whole thing...it was Ranma's idea.
Everyone else minus Garga: {Shocked} RANMA???
Masato: Didn't he move to Singapore a month ago???
Hou: He secretly came back here & met with Commissioner Tasuku. He told him that I've "lost my spark". And coincidentally, Gao phone called and they sort of gain the idea to fight me.
Garga: He said "the only way to reignite his spark is to fight him". Like so a few days earlier.
Daryl: That Ranma...{smiles} no wonder you both are best friends.
Masato: For Share. (raises his arms) Ahhhh, That's It!!!
Everyone look at Masato confused. The latter is excited.
Masato: All this talk of Gao and Hou's New Powers and whatever else there is make me want to fight too. How bout it Hou? Buddyfight?
Hou: Haha. {stern} (points) No. It's already evening.
Masato: Why Not?
Hou: It's already evening. Mum's gonna kill me when I'm late. I'm sorry man.
Masato: {Groans} Aww...
Soon they reach to a junction.
Hou: Welp, this is our stop.
Masato: See ya man.
Daryl: Break a leg after everything okay?
Hou: Sure.
Meanwhile, at Ankh Kingdom, Alexandre Ankh, who's sitting on his throne, watches the match from earlier that's broadcasted on a screen by his servants. He feels somewhat impressed.
Alexandre: G Boost Huh? I supposed he isn't such a trivial matter after all...
Advisor: Shall I "un-cancel" your coming trip, My Prince?
Alexandre: Hmm...Make it so then. Until then...I need to work on my deck.
Suddenly, two dragons appear and stands behind him. However, their current presence is quite unknown as it's dark as night. Their eyes are glowing but their identities are still unknown. All they are is one thing, "Powerful".
Alexandre: My Rival, Teng Hou Ren. You will soon feel the wrath of "true power". Just you wait. For I, prince Alexandre Ankh, shall...
All of the sudden, the monologue was interrupted by another servant as he enters the room, bowing for forgiveness.
Servant: My humbles apologies, your highness. But apparently your private jet needs a new engine and it needs to be replaced.
Silence fills the room and the environment went "Pong". The young prince suddenly went enraged and childish like a 5 year old, scaring the servant.
Alexandre: COULD YOU CUT THAT OUT. I'M MONOLOGUING HERE!!!
Servant: I'm sorry sir...
Night time has arrived. At Hou's House, In His Room, Hou is on a video call with a familiar face on his computer. Hou describes what happened earlier in his match.
Hou: And so I literally Blast Gao into pieces. You should've seen it man.
Ranma: I did. G Boost Huh? Garga has gotten even stronger.
Hou: {Pouty} (Cross his arms) Although, you should have told me it's your idea man. Like why you didn't tell me?
Ranma: In my defense. If I did it early, it would have spoiled the mood now wouldn't it? So there. Ya happy?
Hou: (Turns his head) Hmph. {Chuckles} Okay fine. But anyways, thanks man. Sometimes I wonder why we both tend to stick our noses where it doesn't belong.
Ranma: Its the least I can do after you saved me. But anyways, can we perhaps video fight right now? I want to see for myself what G Boost can do.
Hou smirks. On Ranma's end, half of the playmat is placed with his cards on board. The same for Hou's end as well.
Both: Raise the flag.
The two play against each other just like the time they play against each other in the playoffs and the time they first fought each other. Smiles & Joys of laughter are being heard. A few misplays are made. Garga cheering on. They play with each other all night.
The next morning, Hou & Garga sits down in class. While putting away a their things, tons of students come up to him excited, which made the two surprised.
Student #1: Hey Hou!!! Fight Me.
Student #2: Yeah Me too.
Hou: Woah, hey what's going on?
Student #2: You never told us that you're gonna meet Gao Mikado yesterday.
Student #3: And the fact you won against him, just makes it even more better.
Students: Please...
Hou feels somewhat uncomfortable. The students become quite desperate as they beg for acceptance and clenching their hands.
Hou: Uh...
Students: Please...
Hou: Well...
Students: Please....(Blinks eyes three times)
Hou: (sigh) Okay. I'll do it.
All of the students cheer by saying "Yay". !!! But then Garga holds out his hand by saying "Hold It", which catches everyone's attention in confusion.
Garga: I'm afraid he cannot. Class is about to start.
Students: {Frown} Awww....
Suddenly, another student just rushed in like racecar driver driving what's what. He then spits out some urgent news excitingly.
Student: Guys!!! Good News. The First Two Periods are gonna Be Free for all Homerooms. All of the teachers are going for a meeting.
Everyone's shocked. Garga becomes excited.
Garga: Never Mind. Game On, My Buddy!!!
All: (Cheers) YES.
All of the sudden, everyone lines up to challenge the Ace of Games. It's a really long line like a multi-leg centipede. One by One, Hou defeats the fighters like living the life to the least. Many challengers are frowning as they lost. Some enjoys it though. It's really a blast. But after awhile, Hou is incredibly tired as he lays back on his chair.
Hou: Ugh...I'm so exhausted.
Garga: Oh dear.
Student #4: Hey...Fight Me.
Hou: Ummm...
To his surprise, even more students are lining up to fight against him. It's so line and it reaches the door too...Hou feels terrified...
Hou: Oh No...
Garga: I'm sorry everyone. My Buddy is quite tired today.
Student #5: Fight Me. FIGHT ME.
All of the students are yelling none stop, which made the two very uncomfortable. Suddenly...
???: PIPE DOWN!!!!!!!
Everyone's shocked by the sudden yell. It was from Masato. Daryl is also accompany him and they look very displeased.
Hou: Masato!!!
Masato: Can't you guys just leave him alone? He's exhausted and you guys want him to play some more???
Daryl: Agreed. Give him a break for crying out loud.
Everyone else feel regretful. The two then move to his side and help him up.
Masato: Come On Hou. Let's get you something to eat.
Hou: Sure.
Scene Transition. The three Aces are at a Cafeteria and Hou's enjoying eating a hamburger. The sound goes "Munch Munch Munch".
Hou: Mmmm, Bro I swear, I haven't eaten since breakfast. (Bites) Mmm. So good.
Masato: None of us did man. But you really took a toll on yourself earlier.
Hou: Hey. I've been declining for so long. The least I can do is to say yes after what's what.
Masato: (Teases) And here I thought you're the same guy who told me not to overexert myself when I joined all of the sports clubs.
Hou: Ack...{Childish} HEY!!!
Masato: Hehe.
Hou: But man, I swear, those guys are like a bunch of Market Sellers.
Both: {Confused} Market Sellers?
Hou: {Exaggerating} They always yell loud at morning markets. Saying "do this" or "do that". "Come Buy Fresh Fish or Come Buy Fresh Apples" !!! The same thing that happened to me? Well?
Masato: Okay Okay We get you. Relax.
Daryl: You're kinda funny when you exaggerate.
Hou: Yeah Yeah Don't get used to it. Anyways, we better head back to class so...
Daryl: Hold On. It's nearly recess though. Didn't you check the timetable?
Hou: Oh Yeah...But why stop me?
Daryl: Because...(stands up) I want to fight you.
Hou: {Emotionless} What?
Daryl: Like Others, I've been wanting to see what G Boost is like. What do you say?
Masato: Hey, I was gonna ask the same thing.
Hou stares at them with a mood less expression.
Hou: You both dragged me out because you want some alone time don't you? (shrugs) But okay. You're On.
Suddenly, Hou begin to Aura farm due to his confident expression, much to the two's surprise. Obviously, they made it to the fighting stage. Masato & Agito watch from the stands while the two players begin to Luminize.
Hou: Overpower all that stands in your way. Command the Very Heavens itself. Luminize... Draknight!!!
Daryl: I'm guided by the celestial stars. And the guidance of Dragon. Luminize. Galaxy Triangulum.
Masato & Agito: Buddy...Fight.
Both: Raise the Flag.
Daryl: Star Dragon World.
Hou: Dragon World.
Masato: Hou has the first move.
Hou: Draw. Charge & Draw. Equip. (Pays 1 gauge) Deity Dragon Beamlance, Garknight Lance.
Equipped a glowing blue three-pointy trident.
Daryl: {Small Surprise} A new item...
Hou spins the trident around and then jumps and attacks with it. He pierces through the latter's chest as Daryl feels a pincer strike with pain.
Hou: Take That!!!
Daryl: Ergh...
Daryl's Life: 10 -> 8
Hou: My turn is over.
Daryl: (Gets back Up) Draw. Charge & Draw. I buddycall Skyseer Ardent Dragon, Cross Farnese Astrologia to the center.
Cross: (Appears) Behold my evolved form.
Daryl: (Calls Fret) Fret to the left. Due to the effect, I gain 2 gauge. And next, I call Govern Star Dragon, Obsulate to the right.
Obsulate: (Appears) I'm going to do my best.
Size 0, 5000 power, 3000 defense, critical of 1.
Masato: Huh? A size 0? That's new.
Daryl: When Obsulate enters, I can add one item or spell from my deck into my hand. I choose double tactics. Now to equip...Seerbow, Babylonia Lupus.
Hou: (smirks) You're rearing from the get-go huh?
Daryl: I figured the only to defeat you is to rush you. That way, you can't use G Boost.
Hou: And here I thought you want to see it.
Daryl: (closes his eyes) What can I say? I want to win. Successive Cast. Battle Supplies. Double tactics.
Hou: Not so fast. Dragotrap. (Pays cost) Lupus cannot attack.
Daryl: Tch. Then Cross. Attack the fighter.
Cross: (Attacks) Leave it to me. (Shoots)
Hou braces himself. The attack hits.
Hou's Life: 10 -> 7
Hou: {Shocked} Wait...Cross doesn't have a critical of 3???
Daryl: That's because when Obsulate is on the right, all Astrodragon monsters gain 1 critical. Double attack.
Cross attempts to strike with his claw.
Hou: Cast. Blue Dragon Shield. (Blocks)
Daryl: Fret. Follow Him.
Hou: I cast. Green Dragon Shield. (Blocks)
Daryl: Obsulate!!!
Obsulate attacks.
Hou's Life: 8 -> 5
Hou: I could be wrong, but is Skyseer Pulse in your hand?
Daryl: What if I do?
Hou: Obviously, you're gonna use that and when my life points hit 4, you're gonna use Tri Star Decision to finish me off. I can't use Dragod Crystal or anything else whatsoever. Am I wrong?
Garga: Huh...I never consider that at all.
Hou: However, Even that won't work because you ran out of gauge. And you usually increase your gauge during main phase. Am I wrong?
Masato: {Surprised} Woah. Someone's been keeping check.
Agito: He used the same tactic when he fought Gao yesterday.
Hearing this, Daryl reacts with a calm smile.
Daryl: [I can't say he's not correct. Although my impact is not in my hand but who cares.] My turn is now over.
Hou: Draw. Charge & Draw. I buddycall Garga to the right.
Gargantua Knight Dragon Descends.
Garga: All are powerless before my blade.
Hou: Awakened Deity Dragon, Gardog to the left.
Gardog: (Appears) You Howl, I answer, dog.
Hou: Now I cast. G Boost Over. I can only cast this if a card with G Boost is on the field. (Top 3) Looking at the top 3 cards of my deck. 2 to my hand & 1 to my gauge.
Masato: That's New. Hou usually draw to increase his hand.
Hou: Now I cast. Roaring Blast.
All of Daryl's Cards Burst Into Flames suddenly. While Cross & Obsulate remain thanks to Soulguard, Fret is destroyed.
Hou: I draw three cards.
Daryl: I wouldn't say it's that easy. I cast, Notify: Convertible tactics. I move Obsulate to the left.
Obsulate moves to the left.
Daryl: When Obsulate's on the left, the opponent cannot use penetrate and will lose one critical.
Hou: Say wha?
Garga: Was this to counter our G Boost???
Daryl: Not Quite. I cast Crystallized Phenomenon.
Suddenly, Garga is slowly being frozen in Ice. He struggles to move.
Garga: Not again. Ergh!!!
Hou: NO!!! Triple Cast. Gar-Heilen. The skies in my hands. Dragonic Gate Breaker. GO GO GO.
All of the sudden, Garga's destroyed, Hou gains 4 gauge, Garga & Gardog returns to his hand and Cross loses one soul card. Everyone's shocked.
Masato: WHA??? THREE SPELLS???
Daryl: What is he doing ???
Hou: Garga to the right & Gardog to the left.
All of Hou's Cards appear once more. Daryl realized what he has done in shock.
Daryl: With all of his cards appeared again then that means...
Hou: That's Right. G BOOST. ACTIVATE!!!
Once Again, Hou's forces went super Saiyan. The opponent goes on defensive stance.
Hou: Gardog. Get Obsulate Out.
Gardog: Yes Sir. (Attacks)
Daryl: I cast. Mars Barrier.
But then Gardog suddenly flashes his eyes and destroys Daryl's spell, even before it's being cast.
Daryl: Huh???
Hou: Gardog's attacks cannot be nullified when his power is over 10000.
All: WHAT?
Gardog destroys Obsulate in one strike.
Daryl: Oh no...that means...
Garga: You won't stop Us.
Garga raises his sword and attacks. Cross strikes back and blocks with his wings but...because of Garga's overwhelming power, it broke through and Cross is hit...
Cross: I'm sorry...Daryl...(Destroyed)
Daryl: CROSS!!!
Garga: Penetrate!!!
Daryl's Life: 9 -> 5
Daryl: {Shocked} Oh No...
Hou spins his trident around and attacks once again. He Jumps Up High with It and...
Hou: When Lance's power is over 10000, I gain 1 gauge & 2 life. Take...(Throws Lance) This!!!
As the lance is being thrown, everyone stares in shock. The trident hits it's target.
Daryl: Argh!!!
Daryl's Life: 5 -> 1
Garga: (Raises sword) With this Blade...Thy. Be. (Slashes) Dead!!!
Garga's attack rushes forward. Daryl watches in shock as the slash nearly hits him. Eventually, he was hit.
Daryl: Ahhh!!!
The Flag is destroyed. Everyone's shocked.
Agito: Did you saw that???
Masato: Yeah. He cast three spells all at once and reactivated his formation. What timing.
Agito: I know. He's gotten so strong.
Hou & Garga runs forward and helps his friend back up.
Hou: Daryl!!! Are you okay?
Daryl: Ergh...Yeah. Don't worry. Gotta say, Three spells all at once to save your skin? No wonder you're the Ace of Games.
Hou: {Insecure} Did I made you mad?
Daryl: What? No I'm not mad. I was just shocked. {smiles} But anyways, you've beaten me once again. You truly are my rival, you know that.
Hearing this, Hou feels surprised before smiling back. The two shake hands once more. And suddenly, they hear a clapping sound from the stands. It's Kei Jinguji as he's clapping his hands.
Kei: Marvelous Work. That was a splendid Fight.
Masato: PRESIDENT JINGUNJI???
Kei: Is something wrong?
Masato: Well...um...why are you here sir?
Kei: I was just passing by. And I have to say I'm impressed with what I saw. I believe, you three have earned the right to receive some great news.
Everyone stares in confusion. Kei stares at them with a suspicious yet calm and charming smile.
