Buddyfight Ace, Path To Liberation

Path To Liberation, R is for Revenge (Chap 43)

Synopsis: The prelims are almost over, and many points are gathered one after another. Only one day left and a villainous mind returns...

On Live TV...

Ion: Hello Folks. Ion & Tako Here. Only One Day left for the Gaen Cup Prelims, and it seems matches are heating up. Note Hibikase has defeated Mamoru Sekai, and Kei Jigunji has defeated Rei Urameshi. So many points are gained one after another.

Takokichi: BUT. Only 16 players are allowed to move on. Meaning there are limited spots. So who will be the ones to move on? Let's find out.

Ion: Since today is the last day, we decided to amp up the points a little. Meaning the points gained will be doubled. To all competitors out there, may fortune smile upon you.

Takokichi: Till the next match...

Both: BUDDYFIGHT!!!

OP: Black & White

In a hallway of the Buddy Police, Hou Ren & Garga enter Tasuku's office.

Hou Ren: You asked for us, Commissioner.

Tasuku: You're late, Hou & Garga. I expect you to be on time.

Hou Ren: It's only five min—(realizes) Wait.

It appears that Light, Agent, Lost Ren, and even Shiloh and Emma are at the office too. Hou and Garga are surprised.

Hou Ren: Shiloh? What are you doing here? This is top secret.

Shiloh: You won't believe me, but Tasuku asked me to come here yesterday.

Tasuku: Yes. And now that all 7 of you are here, I can finally discuss with you all about something important.

All 7 of them are surprised. Agent and Lost Ren become stern.

Agent: What's this about, Commissioner?

Lost Ren: This better not be a waste of time.

Tasuku: It's about the Gaen Cup. Hou, do you remember that time we discussed Davide's actions before the tournament?

Hou: I do.

In a flashback, it reveals Davide summoning a bunch of illegal monsters to rampage, and the time when Hou & Tasuku talk about Davide's actions.

Hou: It doesn't make sense. He's mainly a cheat in Buddyfights. And the fact that Kyoya asked him to do so? Why would he just summon Illegal monsters out of nowhere to rampage?

Tasuku: Personally, I don't know as well. And the fact that Kyoya also sends Ms Shafi just to target you? Why then? Wouldn't they have come in sooner?

Lost Ren: Don't forget Magoroku Shido as well.

Shiloh: Who?

Lost Ren: Right before the tournament, while I was training up in the mountains, I caught him spying on me. And of course, lo and behold, Kyoya sent him to do it.

Tasuku: Three Actions with Kyoya involved. What is it that makes him so fond of you two? Is it your powers or what?

Lost Ren: Here's a guess. It's our skill level. Why else would he target us before inviting us to the Tournament? If anything, he even invited the knights, but our brothers declined.

Garga: And besides, if they want our powers, he could have done it sooner, like you said.

Shiloh: Wait, wait, wait? What makes you guys think it's all Kyoya's doing?

Emma: And what does this have to do with the tournament?

Garga: (crossed arms) How bout the fact that we interrogated Ms Shafi and she revealed Kyoya's name behind her actions?
