Hachirou was stunned from Luke's comeback. He fell to his knees and started to punch the ground. "But how?! I was bound to win?!" Luke return to normal from his Spirit Mode and looked at the defeated Hachirou. "The reason I won is because you were blinded by power that you overlooked my impact." He said. "Tch! Why me!" Hachirou exclaimed. Tai's orb started to react and the spike got Hachirou. "Too bad for you." Tai said. "Your time has come!" "Wait give me another chance!" Hachirou was being dissolved. "I will do better next time!" Tai just laughed. "There is no next time." Hachirou was gone and the orb went back to the neutral state. "Now how about we pick things up a bit?" "What do you mean?" Blair asked. "I mean how about a tag match next?" "A tag match?" Hallie thought. "Yes tag match sounds good Milord." Roderick said. "May I be apart of it?" Tai nodded. "And how about Yudai join you?" "As you command." Yudai said with hesitation. "Now who's next on your team." Masayo raised his hand. "I will go!" "Are you sure about this?" Luke asked. "Yes commander. I couldn't get over the fact, that I just stood there while Rosena and Kurumi needed help." Luke notice his determination. "Okay." Then Tai raised his hand. "Guess I'm up." "You're my partner?" Masayo asked. Tai nodded. "I've been itching for a match plus-" He point towards Blair. "Somebody else has a score to settle." Masayo nodded. "Then let's go." "Right."

Both teams stepped up to the field. "The heroes with a never ending passion, crash onto the scene to take down dishonesty. Luminize! Blazing Justice Force!" "Blazing dragons that protect and battle in the fights in the fray with hope on their side! Luminize! Rising Hope!" "Destroy all good, shatter all hope! Luminize! Light Destroyers!" "Wild Beasts return to take their revenge! Luminize! Beast Revengers!" "BUDDYFIGHT!" "Raise the flag!" "Hero World!" "Dragon World!" "Shadow World!" "I'm also with Shadow World!" Roderick has the first move. "Charge and draw. I will call out Wild Beast, Slice Wolf!" "Slice and dice!" "Now Wolf go and attack Justice boy over there!" "Dice!" "Ahh!" "I will end from there." Masayo went next. "Draw, charge and draw. I will cast Hyper Energy, then I will pay 2 gauge to Transform into my buddy, Red Warrior Road Blader!" A flash of light surrounded him and soon he was Red Warrior Road Blader. "I use Red's effect to destroy Slice Wolf!" "No more dicing." "Next I call out Cyber Police Assault Leader! Assault Leader and I will attack Roderick! "Roger that." Roderick took the hit. "Tch. Stupid Justice boy." "With that I end my turn."

"Draw, charge and draw. I pay 1 gauge to set Dark Palace. Then I call Shadow Striker Grandmaster Elliott! I pay 1 life to use Elliott's effect and copy Red's effects!" "Not Red." Masayo said. "Now I pay to gauge to Transform into Elliott!" Yudai transformed into a Shadow clone of Red. "And since I transformed into him, I can destroy a monster on the field. I choose Assault Leader!" "Sorry Commander." "Now I gain a life due to Dark Palace. Next I call out Double Hit Angel! Double Hit Angel will attack Tai!" "One, two, one two." "Once again Angel!" Tai took the attack. "Next I will attack him!" "Cast! Flare Dragon Shield! Not only the attack is nulified, but I regain a life!" "I end." "Draw, charge and draw. I pay 2 gauge to set Guardian Strike Force and Guardian Revival Unit! Then I call Rising Flare Guardian Grand Axe Dragon and Rising Flare Guardian Brave Lancer Dragon. I gain 2 life and put 2 cards into my gauge. I will equip Rising Fist Flareknuckle! Then I pay 1 gauge and place over Brave Lancer, my buddy, Sacred Guardian Rising Flare Helios! Since I have a weapon equipped, I will choose to destroy monsters this time. So bye bye Double Hit Angel." "Helios Oblivion!" "Now another card into the gauge and gain 1 life. Next I have Grand Axe Dragon attack Yudai!" "Cast! Don't Turn Your Back on Me!" A shadow behind Grand Axe shallow it thus destroying it. "I use Grand Axe's effect to give Flare 2000 power and Flare gain 2 critical due to his effect! Now Flare attacks Yudai!" "Rising Punch!" "Once again!" "I pay 2 life to cast! Return from the Shadows! Double Hit Angel returns to my center!" "Then here I come! And since I have a Rising Flare monster on my field, this card gain Double Attack!" He hit Yudai once. "Now the game finisher!" Roderick played a card. "Cast! Shadow Drain! That damage is reduced to 0!" "Tch. I end." Score: Masayo-8, Tai-11, Yudai-1, Roderick-7.

"Can't believe you were nearly knocked out already." Yudai didn't reply back. "Oh well, looks like I have to carry this team." Roderick said with a sinister smile. "Brace yourself Masayo." Tai said. Masayo nodded. "Draw, charge and draw. I pay 2 life to buddycall in the center, Armorknight Red Devastator Dragon!" Then ground started to shake before a Shadow clone of Red Dragon was before them. "Behold the true Red Dragon!" He started to laugh like a madman. "Now only if she was here, oh wait, she's dead!" He continued to laugh. Masayo made a fist. "Why you-" "You better shut up before you get a beating!" Masayo was caught off guard by Tai's outburst. But he felt the same way. "You has no right to talk to her that why!" Tai declared. "And why is that?" Roderick asked. "Because, she has been through alot and-" Tears started to drop from his eyes. "I wasn't there to help. I wasn't there to see her again." The gang felt bad for him. If anyone was feeling the impact of the girls death, it was him. "She fought to the end, she fought to defend our world, our future! But I was no where to be found. What kind of best friend, no, what kind of brother was I to let her and Kurumi die like that." Masayo thought about Tai's words. Then he did something that no one would expect. "I forfeit this match!"
