Author Comment: Hello everyone and welcome to the third season of Earth Battlefield. I hope you are going to like it. It came out a month earlier than expected, but I am motivated right now.

Many months passed since Azi Dahaka had been put in jail. Times moves on and many minor events happened in the life of those who saved the Earth from Darkness Dragon World.

At the beginning of summer, Drum was rejoicing for the monthly vacation, but turned into a nightmare when he had a surprise visit from his father. His vacation turned into a bootcamp, with Gao dragged into it. Some way to reward some of the heroes who saved the world.

At the end of summer vacation, Tasuku became a Senior Police Officer. He became the one who command the Buddy Police Force of his age, which recently became the Buddy Police Force Junior. It was to distinguish them from the adults who were working at the Buddy Police Force as children wouldn't be recruit anymore. The boy and his buddy Jackknife proved to be quite efficient with their new responsibilities and got the help and support from Stella. He still had to go to school after all.

The Buddy Police Force became big enough to handle everything on their own. The children didn't need to act when a crime was committed. It was only when something big was going on that they were called. The children and their buddies were the professional when a big fight was coming.

When the year came to an end, the monsters who were studying were freed from the obligation to study at school and they all celebrated for the night, before all having a headache from the alcohol abuse, which was also Drum first time to get drunk.

Kyoya often visited his buddy in jail and simply had casual talk. The only thing special was that the boy began to give the world another chance, seeing the result Hinako was giving for Japan.

Japan exampled with the election affected the rest of the world. Now, most of the countries had began to built their laws for the buddy monsters. Their presence was now authorised with a buddy I most countries. Their laws were based on Japan and evolved with the structure given by Hinako and her party.

The last thing was that Terumi was often with Testuya, completely putting aside her hostility for the boy and beginning to embrace his joy of life with Asmodai and her buddy Medusa, now that she completely recuperated from her operation.

And now, there was a dangerous foe and his human buddy, wandered the city of Tokyo, in search of those who wronged them. The duo was animated by one desire that could bring ruined to Earth, revenge.

Episode 1: They Who Desire Vengeance

Morning came and Gao was peacefully sleeping in his bed with his buddy. Eventually, the boy woke up and sat on his bed. He checked on his buddy and quietly climbed off his bed and dress up.

The boy had peach skin, amber eyes, black hair with a few red strands. He wore a red shirt with a yellow sun of it with an unclosed blue jacket, a blue pant and his hands were covered with white bandage. He didn't change his types of clothing during the year, still holding to his inspiration to be the Mighty Sun Fighter.

His buddy, in his SD form, woke up when the boy left the room, as his stomach grumbled, "Want… pudding," the pudding lover said.

He climbed off the bed and put his armor. It was a new set of armor he obtained after his summer booting camp on Dragon World.

He was a red and orange humanoid dragon with a long tail, a pair of silver horns on his head, a small one on his snout, amber eyes and long blond hair. He wore a blue helmet with blue armored pants.

He climbed down the stairs and saw the old dragon Tenbu, "Hi grand-pa Tenbu."

Tenbu was a serpentine dragon with green skin, and pale-yellow underbelly, a pair of solver horn, pink beard and a long pink mustache. He wore a red helmet with two spikes, and yin-yang crest on his body, "Hello there young dragon," he replied. He chuckled at the nicknamed he obtained in the family. It was recent, but the old dragon enjoyed seeing as a wise dragon. It was nice to be considered a member of a family, "What is-" he gasped when the red dragon was already in the kitchen. He saw the boy eating his breakfast and the red dragon joining him. Tenbu softly chuckled and joined them for their meal, "What is the plan for today?"

"I heard that they were a few sales in the mall grand-pa Tenbu," Gao replied as he checked his clothes, "I am starting to get a little too short in these and…" he checked around, "I want to choose the same thing, so I'm trying to avoid mom and going there early this morning."

"Yes. You mother came pretty late last night after a date with your father Gao. They accidentally woke me up, but Suzumi was lovely in a dress," he kissed his claws as if he released it.

"Mom is married," the boy replied. He sighed, things never change with him. Probably too old to change anyway. Once they finished eating, the stood up and went together outside the house. It was early in the morning, but the son was shining brightly.

"Today is a perfect day to go outside," the old green dragon declared as he stretched his body. He could feel the warm light on his beard.

"That's right," Drum agreed, "Those morning is rare on Earth, but they are beautiful."

"Dragon World is different than Earth," Gao said, remembering his booting camp. He wasn't that found of it, but the boy remembered one thing. He couldn't just forget it at the last day of the booting camp.

Many Months Ago Dragon World

Drum was panting as he finished lifting heavy rocks. He put them on the side as his muscles were covered with his sweat, "Please. Tell me it's good enough dad."

"It is," he tapped the snout of his son, "It's not because you defeat Azi Dahaka that you can think you can get lazy. This is the best way to spend time together."

"A simple diner would have been perfect," the younger dragon sighed, but had a small smile.

Fang Slade Terrestrial The XIII turned around with a small smile, he whispered something that his son heard, "Our son grown so much."

That little thing was enough for The XIV to stand up and be ready to face anything else. Even if it was something his father whispered, that was something he would not let go to waste.

"You think you are the best Fang Slade Terrestrial The XIV?" a dragon yelled at him.

The boy and the two dragons turned towards a black dragon with red mane and wearing a blue tore short. Gao recognised the dragon as Barlbatzz. What surprised the boy was that the dragon double in size in half a year.

The black dragon hit his chest and yelled, "You are wrong! I am the best dragon of this world and I'll show it to you right now!"

Drum looked at his father and asked, "Who's that jerk dad?"

"Barlbatzz. A dragon whose duty is to clean my house right now!" The XIII yelled at the other dragon.

"As if! I am not some lowly dragon!" the dragon replied with pride.

The ruler of Dragon World sighed, "I supposed his pride inflated with his growth spur."

"Does that happen often?" Gao asked.

"The Punisher is really big, but he was my size for a while. Then, in two years, turned into a giant dragon," The XIII replied.

Gao mind blew up at that revelation. He never knew it was possible for a dragon to turn into a giant quickly.

"This is a nice test," he turned towards his son, "Son. I want you to fight this stupid dragon-"

"Don't call me stupid old fart!"

Anger veins appeared on the forehead of the old dragon, "- and beat him until he cries. No time limits. Just make him cry like when he was born."

Drum looked at the prideful and angry dragon, then back at his father, "You sure?"

"Yes. I want him to cry!"

Barlbatzz jumped from his spot and landed in front of the red dragon, "Prepare to lose! I shall be the one who will rule over Dragon World one day! And you will regret the humiliation you put my family!"

"Let's do this!" Drum yelled.

Gao witnessed a one-sided battle as he never saw. Drum was beating the other dragon up fairly easily and sent him away. One thing was certain, it was that no matter how many time Barlbatzz felt, he always stood up and returned for another round.

As the battle continued, Gao asked, "Why is he that way?"

"His ancestor was one of the most powerful dragon clan that existed, until I defeat his father and rule over dragon world. With The Punisher, his father was the other one who could have ended up at my place. Barlbatzz heard many stories from his mother but following the current path was staying what his father ended up as."

"His dad is like a janitor?" the boy asked.

"Yes. He lost everything in an uprising that failed. Barlbatzz looked up at his father, but ending up like a… janitor as you said, before dying of a deadly disease. Well… Barlbatzz following the same path was horrible and he obviously hates it."

Drum gave one final punch that broke the snout of the pride dragon and sent him on the ground. Drum had blood on his fist and panted, "Had enough. Please… tell me you had enough. I'm really going to kill you."

The gray dragon tried to stand up, but slip on his own blood and felt on the ground. No matter how much he was in pain, not a single tear came out of his eyes. His pain was excruciating, but he let nothing come out of his eyes. His pride would never forgive him if he cried.

The XIII approached the wounded dragon and looked in the only good eye remaining, "You have lost Barlbatzz. You cannot win this fight," he pressed a claw on the broken snout and made the other dragon screamed, "You are just bigger, not stronger. My son managed to defeat Azi Dahaka. You are far behind. You are stubborn and stupid."

"ARGH! Curse you all!" he yelled.

The XIII pushed the broken snout again, "If you want to truly challenge my son, there is only one way! Follow the same path as my son. As for the training path, your father is alas dead, so you have an unfair disadvantage," he pulled the mane of the dragon and declared, "Then I shall train you."

Drum turned gray, not out of fear, but pity for the gray dragon.

Barlbatzz attentively listened to his enemy, Follow the path of that damn XIV hum? His reptilian eyes rested on Gao, the buddy of Drum, one day. He thought.

Which was something Gao didn't hear.

Present Day

A sound made the boy come out of his thought and searched for the source of it. Drum nodded, recognising the style quite easily, "He must still be around."

The trio followed the melody and saw a dragon with black scales playing with his instrument. The dragon was surrounded by humans and monsters listening to his melody the dragon played with passion and noticed the trio. He gave them a warm smile as he kept playing.

It was Troubadour a member of the Purgatory Knight. He had gray and white scales, amber eyes, fin on his arms and the side of his head. His body ended with a long tail. He wore black clothing with armor plates of the same color on his chest and legs. He also wore a black cape, a black hat with a long black feather. He held in his claws a black guitar with the hole having a devilish blue eye with black iris.

Once the lyrical dragon finished, the crowd applauded, "Thank you everyone. No matter how many time I play my music, it is always a pleasure that everyone is enjoying my melody. I am sorry everyone who wanted to hear more, but my friends are here. Don't worry, I'll be back soon," he bowed to everyone and turned into his SD form, which looked similar to his real form, but was smaller and cuter. He joined Gao and the dragons by his side, "Hello Gao. It has been a month since we last met."

"That's right," Drum nodded as he crossed his arms with a small smile.

Tenbu thought, Drum changed so much in a year, feeling proud of the red dragon.

"How's it going?" the boy asked the gray dragon.

Troubadour gave a thumb up, "Everything is going well. I made a friend with a human named with a girl who enjoyed my music. We often talk together at the park after my performance. Sometimes, she even likes to dance at the rhythm of my melody. I like her a lot," he let out a warm smile, "I only played my music when I finished everything I have to do and this morning was light on it."

"Is Demios around?" Drum asked.

"No. And if you wonder if he might come here because I'm not back in my own world, then no problem. I came here to accomplish my duties."

"Duties?" Tenbu curiously asked as he approached the dragon.

The Purgatory Knight nodded, "Yes. I have personal and not personal duty. For example, I have to play music after I finish the other duties such as making sure that no one is causing trouble. I help the Buddy Police Force a little, not to cause any trouble, relaying Azi Dahaka's order in Darkness Dragon World, making sure that no Darkness Dragon caused trouble or I'll bring them back to our world myself, checking how's Tasuku doing so Demios won't worry for him too much-"

It was then that Drum realised something important Troubadours said, "Wait! Wait wait wait wait!" he waved his hands before asking, "Relaying Azi Dahaka orders? So, you visit him?"

"Yes. I am his messenger. I give him news about what is going on in our world and bring the others to his trusted soldiers back in our world," the gray dragon innocently replied.

Drum suspiciously gazed at him, "Feels like something you shouldn't say right?"

"Azi Dahaka don't mind if I tell you or not," Troubadour waved his hand dismissively, "It's to make sure there isn't anyone taking our ruler place and trying to invade the Earth by force. Believe me, some ambitious Darkness Dragon tried," he crossed his arms.

"Good to know you can prevent trouble for Earth," Tenbu declared.

"And don't worry. I like the way the Earth is," the darkness dragon hit his chest.

The red dragon lightly smiled and sighed in relief, "Good."

"What about you Gao? How's it going?" Troubadour asked.

"We are going to the mall and check on the specials. Except for that, nothing big. Grand-pa Tenbu is still trying to charm any woman he crossed path with and-" the looked at the green dragon who noticed a few of them and tried to sweet talk on each of them, but it was a little overwhelming for the dragon, "Well…"

"Grand-pa Tenbu can't keep up," Drum concluded before chuckling.

Troubadour giggled, "Good to know. I won't stand in your way any longer. Have a nice day and until next time," he returned to his spot and began to play his music, as his friends told him good-bye and went their way.

Near the mall, a boy was eating a few hamburgers quickly with large appetite. He stood at an isolated place where he wouldn't get the attention of anyone. It was important they remained discreet for that they planned.

Ikazuchi had spiky yellow hair with black lightning-shaped striped, brown eyes with lightning-shaped pupils as well as thick and black, lightning-shaped eyebrows, sharp teeth and nails. His body is quite muscular. He wore a gray shirt and white coat with yellow and red parts. On his back were two red lightning bolts shaped like wings, brown pants, black gloves and red claw-like belt.

"How are you holding up?" a voice said in the mind of the boy.

The boy finished his meal and replied, "Don't worry Yamigedo. I'm fine. I just have to eat a lot."

"My presence is affecting you much more than I feared. Still hungry?"

"No. I'm full. I don't have your endless appetite," the boy answered to something invisible.

"You can say that again when you are imprisoned for millions of years… I think it's millions," Yamigedo replied as he emitted a few grunting in the mind of the boy.

"Anyway. We have to find Tenbu. Me missed our chance last time, but we can get him," the boy said.

"Careful Ikazuchi. Tenbu is a cunning bastard. Don't think you have a chance to beat him face on. He is surely not alone."

"How should we get him?" Ikazuchi asked as his muscles tense in his body.

"An ambush. We attack him when he drops his guard. We got for the kill," the Great Fiend declared.

"Good," the boy replied.

"We have to find him first thought. We missed our chance before, but now, we need to find him and wait for an opportunity. We got used enough to the layout of the city and-"

"He's here," Ikazuchi cut the monster.

The black shadowy head of Yamigedo popped out of the chest of the boy. With his four orange eyes, he looked closely where the boy was pointing. He saw the green dragon with pink mustaches with a boy and a red dragon by his side, "That way much easier than I thought. Ikazuchi. We have to be careful. Don't draw attention and carefully follow them."

"Your head will bring attention," Ikazuchi replied with a small smile.

The monster chuckled, "You're right my friend," his head returned in the chest of the boy, "Now. Let's take our time and kill Tenbu on one hit. As long as he's in this form, one strike on the neck and he's dead."

"We wait," the boy agreed as they went in the mall, where Gao went.

The boy carefully stalked the boy and the two dragons. His eyes remained fixed on the green dragon. He looked at his target, waiting for the moment to kill him.

"Ikazuchi. Don't look at him too much or he might feel you," Yamigedo warned his friend.

The boy didn't reply in public, but understood. He looked forward, knowing that his buddy might do that part of the job instead of him. When they climbed the stairs, the boy decided to take the risk and continued forward.

Yamigedo remained inside the body of the boy, but used everything he could to keep visual contact with their target. He saw them entering somewhere and said, "They went in a store… I think. Climb at the next weird moving stairs. Ikazuchi. This place is perfect… If we want to strike from above."

The boy did as his friend said and climbed two floors higher. He then looked around as if he was looking for the store. He could feel his buddy attention towards the store Tenbu went in.

"There's out," the Great Fiend warned his buddy.

Ikazuchi sighed with some annoyance, not from what his buddy said. It was to look like he couldn't find what he was looking for and kept walking. Yamigedo did prepared the boy to use deceptive method in case they needed to act discreet.

He had a large disadvantage, which was that he was on his own. He didn't summon any of the Hundred Demons or it will immediately be complicated everything. If things went wrong, none of the demons could be summoned. It takes time as long as Yamigedo hadn't reform his buddy.

All he had was his skills and his Deck, containing the spells crafted by Yamigedo, when they discovered that spells made by monsters took those form now. It was much easier than learning everything to cast it yourself.

The boy was close and above the trio. He made sure to keep walking forward. His body began to tense. The moment to strike was so close, he felt like he was already beginning the fight. His chest felt a little heavier. The moment was so close. If he failed, he would let his buddy down.

"Wait for it. Still too many humans around him," the Fiend warned the boy. He could feel his anticipation, "Remember, failure isn't defeat. I rather know that you failed than hurt yourself my friend."

He frowned, but lightly nodded. The tension was raising more and more for the boy and his Fiend as the moment wasn't coming yet. There was so much they could walk above them to have the perfect chance.

Ikazuchi suddenly felt tense. He wasn't sure why, but felt like eyes were dead set on him. He wanted to look down and find out who was watching him this intensely.

"Don't look down Ikazuchi! Keep looking forward!" Yamigedo quickly ordered, a little harshly.

"But-"

"Don't! Look forward and ignore your feeling! Don't ask what is going on!" The boy heard the voice of his friend and it was tense. He also heard a hint of fear in his voice. The monster felt remorse for being so harsh, but for the safety of the boy, he had to be, I'll apologies later, he observed down and saw the eyes of Tenbu set on the boy. The Great Fiend did everything to hide his presence.

Eventually, Tenbu looked forward again as the boy asked, "Is something wrong Tenbu?"

"You saw something Grand-pa Tenbu?" the red dragon asked.

"Nothing. Being my age, you have so many enemies that you believe that one is so close to you sometime," the green dragon replied before lightly chuckling.

"Ooookay," the two others replied uncertain.

That was... The Great Fiend himself couldn't be certain of why the old dragon even said that. He continued to observe and felt some relief in the body of the boy. The monster felt the same way too. Eventually, he noticed that the perfect moment will come soon, "Get ready Ikazuchi. The moment is coming now."

The boy breathing lightly accelerated as the time come, once I jump, I will cause a commotion. It will be loud and they will hear me. I have to strike at the perfect time, he had his hand near his deck and waited for a signal.

He felt his body beginning to burn and his mind always told him to give the signal now. It repeated many times.

The crowd split and the trio was at their most vulnerable state. Isolated from the crowd, "Now!"

Ikazuchi released all the cumulated stress into one offensive. He passed over the ramp and jumped down. Many people yelled when they saw him jumping like that, but ignored them as he used his power to charged at Tenbu, not knowing that he was using his buddyskill on the wings, "Thunder Claw, Narukami," he turned a card into a gauntlet covering his right hand. It was a black and gray gauntlet with three sparkling yellow claws made of electricity. He was near Tenbu when he saw the amber eyes of the other dragon fixed on him.

"Tenbu!" Drum yelled as he grabbed the tail of the older dragon.

"You won't save him!" Ikazuchi yelled.

"What is-" Gao said before blood splatted on his face.

Despite the red dragon pulling the other dragon, the claws slashed the back of the older dragon neck.

"Not deep enough," Yamigedo grunted.

Dammit!, Ikazuchi grunted.

Tenbu felt on the ground and painfully grunted as a pool of blood quickly spread under him.

"You will die accursed Omnilord!" The boy furiously yelled as he charged to finish the old dragon.

"Crimson Fist, Dragoblaze!" Gao yelled as he stood in the way of the yellow haired boy, He blocked the claws with his own black and golden gauntlet ending with five claws, "I'm going to arrest you!" before the two teenagers entered in a fist fight.

Drum covered the wound with his hands, "Tenbu! Say something!"

"Drum," the old dragon managed to weakly replied. He could barely keep his eyes opened.

"Someone! Call an ambulance and the Buddy Police Force!" the red dragon yelled.

He saw someone doing as told and it lightly reassured him. Another human with his buddy came with something to temporary bandage the wound, "Thank you," the three tried to spot the bleeding while the battle continued. Drum had faith in his buddy, but gave a few gazes.

Yamigedo grunted as Ikazuchi was struggling against the boy. He knew nothing about Gao, "Ikazuchi. I'll give you some of my strength. Knock that human out and we quickly finish Tenbu before more come."

"Do it," Ikazuchi replied as a dark aura surrounded him.

Tenbu saw it and before losing consciousness, he whispered, "You're back… Yami- ge… do," and closed his eyes.

"Tenbu!" The XIV yelled.

Ikazuchi's assault couldn't pass Gao defense. Despite the boost given by his buddy, his adversary was quick to see his attack and block them, what is going on?

Yamigedo gasped as he realised quickly what was going on. He could feel something wrong with his buddy, I'll take care of things from here on out Ikazuchi!

"What do you-" as the manifestation of Yamigedo came out of his buddy.

He was a large shadow with his orange eyes locked on Gao, "Out of my way human!"

"What is he saying?" Gao asked, not understanding the Great Fiend, as he saw the claws coming at him. He grabbed a card and yelled, "Blue Dragon Shield!"

A blue shield blocked Yamigedo attack, but Ikazuchi grabbed the arm of the Mighty Sun Fighter, preventing him from casting another spell.

"No one will stand in our way!" The Great Fiend yelled as he prepared to attack again.

"That is enough!" someone yelled.

A green dragon came and gave a violent kick on the right cheek of the manifestation. As the kick went in the cheek, Ikazuchi face was also affected. It was as if he received the kick too. The boy released Gao and was sent away. He bounced on the ground, painfully grunting.

"Is that a stand?" the green dragon named Jackknife asked.

"You're okay Gao?" The buddy of Jackknife asked.

"I'm okay Tasuku," Gao replied with relief.

Tasuku was a boy with peach skin, spiky blue hair and reddish eyes. He wore an orange vest with a teal jumpsuit.

His buddy Jackknife was a green bipedal dragon with a paler green on his underbelly, amber eyes, a long tail. He wore a black and red armor covering his shoulders and a part of his chest, and a helmet with a blade on it that was currently pointed at their adversary.

"It's not over!" Ikazuchi yelled at them, grabbing another card. Yamigedo noticed that his friend was already starting to pant.

"You are under arrest for attempt murder on a citizen of Tokyo and assaulting a member of the Buddy Police Force! Surrender now!"

"Never! Tenbu will pay for what he did!" The criminal replied furiously.

"Ikazuchi! We have to leave! We have no chance to beat them!"

"We can fight them Yamigedo!" the boy stubbornly replied.

"No! More are surely coming right now! We are outnumbered! We have to retreat right now!" Yamigedo ordered his friend.

Tasuku and Jackknife charged at Ikazuchi to arrest him.

The boy grunted at the demand of the Fiend, but nodded, "Fine. We are going to let you live for now Tenbu, but next time we meet, you will die," before he grabbed a spellcard and teleported away.

"Dammit!" Tasuku grunted.

Gao joined his buddy and asked, "How's he doing?"

"Not good Gao," the red dragon replied while his buddy used a healing spellcard to slow down the bleeding.

Tasuku joined Gao and asked, "What happened here?" he could already guess but needed more detail.

Gao explained what happened. They were interrupted when the ambulance came, "I'll tell you the rest later. I have to do."

Tasuku nodded as his friend climbed in the ambulance.

Jackknife stood by the side of his buddy and grumbled, "I have the impression it's only the beginning."

"What was that thing coming out of that boy?" the blue-haired boy wondered.

"It felt like a stand, you know, from that manga," Jackknife said.

Tasuku gazed at his buddy, but also made the conclusion when the criminal reacted when the thing was also hit, "But it's not."

"I know," the green dragon agreed.

Gao sat near the intervention room with his buddy. The boy had his cellphone out and wrote what happened, just like what he said to Tasuku to Commander I, "Dammit," the boy grunted.

"If only I was faster," Drum grunted.

"If only we were faster," his buddy replied.

"Tenbu almost got killed by this human and we couldn't do anything. Who was he and that shadowy monster? I never saw anything like that before," the dragon grabbed his head and shook it.

"At least, you saved Tenbu. He would have got him if you didn't act in time," the boy gently tapped the shoulder of the dragon.

"Y-yeah," the red dragon replied unconvinced. He thought about it and something came back, "Tenbu said something before he lost consciousness."

"What did he say?" The Sun Fighter asked.

"Yamigedo. He knows who that thing was," he replied to the boy.

"I add this on the report," Gao said as he wrote the name of the thing with the agressor. He sent it and a man came to them.

"How is he?" Drum ordered.

"We finished suturing the wounds. He is currently resting. He will recover," the doctor said.

That awoke great relief and just in time, as the rest of the Mikado family joined them. Gao told them what happened and the atmosphere turned into a grim one.

"Whoever it is, he will come back," Gao's father commented.

Troubadour stood in front of a glass. He went in prison to visit his ruler. The dark dragon waited and the three-headed dragon called Azi Dahaka came forward.

"You come again Troubadour. What is it?" the ruler of Darkness Dragon World asked.

"There's been a fight in the mall and Tenbu was wounded. I checked who caused it and I learned one name. Yamigedo. It was the monster you mentioned right?"

Azi nodded, "Yes," that means that everything is beginning now. I have to prepare for my part, "Troubadour. Contact my buddy Kyoya. Tell him that Yamigedo just manifested today. He knows what to do."

"Of course, Azi Dahaka. That is all I have to say. Wait. I learned on my way here that Darkness Dragon World has been stabilised for now. There is no trouble in the upcoming future," The lyrical dragon reported.

"Good," the three heads looked at each other and the Purgatory Knight left them. Azi Dahaka returned to his jail, the Great Fiend is finally back. Invading this world was pointless from the start right Tenbu? He lightly chuckled.

Ikazuchi appeared inside of a cavern, hidden by a waterfall. In the deepest part of the cavern, there was an only a sleeping bag and non-perishable food. The boy walked towards the corned of the cavern and sat on the ground. He continued panting for a while, before he recovered enough strength.

The manifestation of the Great Fiend was in front of the boy, looking at the waterfall.

They remained quiet for a long time. Eventually, the yellow-haired boy gazed at his friend, "I'm sorry. I failed to kill him. If only-"

"Do not apology for that Ikazuchi. None of this is your fault. The moment we strike, there would have been a commotion anyway," the manifestation approached the boy. He noticed the bruise on the cheek of the boy, "It was the fault of the red dragon. He reacted too quickly. Even Tenbu didn't see you coming. Any of them could notice us, but we managed to incapacitate Tenbu. Ikazuchi. There is always a next time."

"Okay," the boy replied half convinced. He looked at the ground and sighed, "Just a little more and you could consume his life and take back what he took away from you."

Once again, they were quiet for a while. Yamigedo was the one who break that silence this time, "Ikazuchi. Is there anything you aren't telling me?"

"Hum? No. There is nothing," the young human replied.

The spirit of the Great Fiend approached the boy, "But you are still tired. The battle was a quick and short one."

"I used everything we have Yamigedo. Don't worry about it," Ikazuchi replied, avoiding the gaze of the monster.

The Great Fiend wasn't an idiot. Something else was going on. He tried to find answer three more times, but the boy was stubborn. All he accomplished was annoying the boy, "Fine!" he turned around and put his hands on his hip, "Don't tell me! Stubborn kid."

"I'm fifteen!" Ikazuchi yelled.

"And you are acting like you are eight," the fiend harshly replied. He looked down and sighed. He turned around and approached the boy once again, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't… I've also been harsh back at that mall, but it was to make sure you wouldn't get hurt. Tenbu was looking at us and if you looked back, he would know we were planning something. And…" his spectral hand was near the bruise of the boy, "Even so, you got hurt because of me."

"That's nothing. Nothing compared to what they did to us," the boy replied as he grabbed that hand.

"Still, I'm sorry for your wound Ikazuchi. Anyway, you need to rest and I to prepare our next attack. We are going to need my soldiers. There are more enemies that I hope for," he returned in the body of the human.

"I'm not tired," the boy grumbled.

"Yeah. Right. I know you are tired," Yamigedo replied. He lightly chuckled, "Try to lie better next time."

A boy was eating his diner alone. He gazed at the picture of him and his father. He let out a loud sigh. His father was still in prison for his crimes committed when he helped Tenchi. It was a long sentence, I hope dad is alright, the boy thought.

Someone knocked at the door. He stood up and walked towards him. He checked who it was and recognised the girl at his door with her usual uninterested expression. He opened the door, "Hi Sophia."

"Hi Shido," the girl replied as she entered in the house.

The boy was about to close the door when a monster came in, "Hum- Y-you!" he grunted, barely containing his anger when he recognised Gallows.

The monster was avoiding the gaze of the boy.

Shido turned towards Sophia and asked, "Sophia. What is the meaning of this? What's going on?"

She looked at her friend and replied, "Many things. I'll explain it right now," she resumed what Kyoya told her.

"Wait. Someone tried to murder that dragon… This is bad," he sat on a chair and felt like he was sweating already.

"He had been stopped for now but he escaped. If you want to know why Gallows is here, is because Kyoya has a mission for us," Sophia said as she sat on a chair.

"With him?" Shido grunted.

"Yes. With me. Sha," the monster grunted.

"Yes. This mission will determine if the Earth will end up as a diner for Yamigedo or not," the girl explained, leaving little place to objection.

The boy paled as he hit the table, "Why me? I don't want Gallows as my buddy anymore! You know what he did!"

"I didn't put your father in jail! Sha!" Gallows yelled at the boy. He saw the boy about to protest and yelled, "And I won't deny it is my fault he made that decision. You don't have to say that!"

Sophia sighed, "Shido. This mission is important. You know what will happen if Yamigedo eat the Earth right?"

"I know. I'm not stupid. But I'm sure you got better choice than me," Shido protested more.

"The other one would be Davide, but he is a bad choice."

There was a small awkward silence in the living room.

"I don't have a choice," the boy gave in, but glared at his buddy.

"I was forced to come here too you know. I know when someone doesn't want me! Sha!" the Darkness Dragon grunted.

Shido had to admit that it was probably true. He would have come back earlier or never if it wasn't the case, "Fine. I don't want to die, you or dad. Besides, Kyoya is the one paying the bill for my house right now," he sighed, "What does he want us to do."

"Team up with Yamigedo and his buddy," Sophia replied.

Gallows and Shido gasped, "Is he crazy?"

"That's the order we have," the girl replied.

"Fine," the two agreed.

The boy put his hand on his face, and my nightmare with him continue, he thought when his deck case was put in front of him by the monster who ruined his father's life.

The girl could tell it was a bad idea to made those two team up once again, but Kyoya and Azi Dahaka precise that it was needed. The only good thing was that Gallows wasn't pushing it too much, for now.

AC: This is the end of this chapter. As you can see, the beginning of this season is quite different from the show already. You can also notice it is starting more brutal than the previous season.

The battle was short because it was the first fight and the antagonist plan were a quick strike before bailing out with Tenbu's corpse. It failed.

I made Batzz appear in this episode because I'm already preparing the next season with a few foreshadowing. I also explain why will turn into a freaking big dragon later on.

Yamigedo and Ikazuchi are different from the show, as they are friends, their background is different and other things that will be reveal when the story, A Boy And His F(r)iend will reach its conclusion.

The next episode might be split in two parts, or put as a whole: Blizzard Of Greed.
