Future Card Buddyfight: Buddy Invasion!

Chapter 20

The crowd was amazed at Hearty's new form. "So, you guys can Soul-link." Luke said. "You don't seem impressed Luke." Tai said with a confident look. "No matter, we will still win!" "I don't think so!" Blair cried. "Hearty's effect activate! Once she appears on the battlefield, all the monsters on the opposite side returns to their owner's hand!" Hearty raised her rod in the air. She summoned a heat wave on the field, returning Kotaro to Luke's hand. "Hmph, no problem." "That isn't all!" "What?!" "For every monster returned via effect, Hearty gains a critical for the turn! I then set Celestial Reborn! Now Hearty attacks Luke!" "Big Bang Firebolt!" A huge ball of fire appeared and landed on Luke. He shook off the attack but wasn't expecting, "Double Attack!" Another firebolt strucked him causing him to lose. "Hearty's new form is nothing to mess with. Looks like more training for me." "Good job Blair, that's one down." "Yeah, but it's not over." Tyson was looking at them with a determined expression. "Trust me, I know."

"So just me versus you guys. This should be fun." Tai and Blair prepared themselves. "Draw, charge and draw. I attack Blair directly!" She let the attack hit. "Your not done, are you?" "Correct! Final Phase!" He stabbed his sword into the ground. "Blair it's-" Before Tai can finish, time has stopped. "Let the world distort!" Everything turned gray and time has stopped. " Distorted world! Turn back the wheels of time and erase this sorrow!" A giant blade appeared above the field. "DISTORTION PUNISHER!!!" The blade crashed down on Blair, dropping her life points to 0. Time has returned to normal. "-the Distortion Punisher!" He saw her life was at zero. "I use Celestial Reborn's effect!" "What?!" "I wouldn't be going down that easy. When my life hit zero, I can draw a card. If it's a Wizard, then I gain 2 life." "That's why she was calm." "Alright, let's do this. Draw!" There was a moment of silence. She looked at the card then show Tyson. "It can't be.." It was a copy of Hearty the Devastator. Her life turned into 2. "I...I end." "Take it away Tai." "Alright! FINAL TURN! Draw, charge and draw. I call Boomerang Dragon to my center. Then I cast Dragonic Grimoire to draw 3. I pay 1 gauge and discard 1 card to equip Dragonblade Dragobrave. I call Thousand Rapier Dragon. I have Hearty attack Tyson!" "Big Bang Firebolt!" "Black Dragon Shield!" "Attack again!" "Big Bang Firebolt!" "Then Boomerang and Thousand Rapier Dragon attack!" Tai delivered the final blow, Tyson and Luke realized something. "They have truly grown." Final Score: Blair-2, Tai-2, Tyson and Luke-0.

"And the winners are Blair Cripson and Tai Rhinehart!" The crowd was cheering while the fighters returned to normal. Tai sighed. "Is something wrong Tai?" Blair asked. "No there's nothing wrong, it's just that it's over." "Yeah, it is but we won!" Tai looked at Hearty the Inferno's card. "Here Blair." He handed her the card. She was surprised. "Why you giving this to me?" "Because you deserve it. You were the MVP of this fight and plus, Hearty's your buddy." She looked at the card and read the flavor text. "Soul-link represents the powerful bond between souls." "Alright then." She accepted it. At the moment, Rosena and Kurumi ran to them. "You guys did it!" "We won the tournament!" Everyone was clapping for them, including Luke and Tyson. In the stands, Hallie was cheering her heart out. "Great job Big Sis! You too Tai!" Her mother saw her daughters just smiled. "They've really grown up since you left. I'm sure you'll be proud." Hanna and Anna gave Tai a check for the school. The team raised it up and yelled, "FLAME ON!!"
