Synopsis: Hou Ren has invited three new recruits to join them. Particularly, the three recruits share some similar traits...
Writer: A scene is removed in this story and I changed Sailor Ren's playstyle and skills. Like so. Basically I'm doing some Debuff work.
OP: Black & White.
The Sun shines bright alongside the glorious blue sky. All of the Draknights, including the Gar Trio, are gathered at the Mansion in LA. To be precise, the mansion's living room. Everyone but Lost Ren is puzzled.
Elijah: Why are we here exactly?
Micah: Hou called us, so...
Suddenly, Hou, Garga, and his friends arrive through a portal.
Hou: Ah, good. You guys made it.
Shiloh: (surprised) Hou.
Lost Ren: Explain why they are here?
Elijah: Us too.
Hou Ren: It's a long story. But let's just say I got the Commissioner's Stamp of Approval.
Shiloh: You mean--
Hou Ren: Yes. I know it's Top Secret, but I also need to own up to my mistakes. Plus, they are persistent, I give you that.
Daryl: Uh, we're right here?
Masato: (To Daryl) He does have a point, though.
Lost Ren: (Sigh) Of course you have to.
Hou Ren: Listen Up. To all Seniors, you didn't participate in the tournament. As for the Juniors, sad to say, Elijah's out recently...
Elijah: (Ashamed) You don't have to remind me...
Hou Ren: So far, only I, Garga, Shiloh, Emma, and Lost Ren know about this. But...what if we were to tell you that all of us are being lured to a trap?
Senior Knights, Junior Knights: Huh?
Judah: I'm sorry, what? I wasn't listening.
Hou: Listen closely, I'll explain everything.
30 minutes later. Scene transition.
Elijah: So let me get this straight, Kyoya Gaen is plotting something bad with the tournament, and we're going to prepare ourselves for the possible worst battle there is?
Hou Ren: Yes. However, it's still a hunch. And if you guys want to chicken out...
Elijah: (Stops him) Stop... I'm in.
Hou Ren: Sorry?
Elijah: Not gonna lie. I always wanted to battle in actual danger. Like, sure, we've done it before, but as actors. Real life, though? This is going to be fun.
Judah: Yeah. Let's take down some bad guys.
All of Shiloh's Brothers cheer. Magician Ren smiles.
Magician: (Whispers to Shiloh) You gotta give props for enthusiasm.
Shiloh: (Whispers back) They're my brothers. What can I say? But Hou, are you sure this is okay? Like, it could be dangerous.
Hou Ren: That's why we need to prepare. By the way, good job on your matches so far.
Shiloh: (Blushes) Oh...thanks.
Hou Ren: (Ahem) Here's the game plan. All of the surviving parties will continue battling. In the meantime, Magician and Rockstar, guide the Juniors in training.
Both: Right.
Hou Ren: Blaze Ren. Gar Trio. I need you guys to create some new gadgets. Just in case.
All four: Okay.
Lost Ren: Sensei. Trickstar. We'll need you both as Spies. Keep eyes on Kyoya and his lackeys.
Both nod in agreement.
Hou Ren: And Kaizer, can you help train Natalie and Gwen?
Kaizer: Sure.
Hou Ren: Okay. Right now, Agent is currently doing BP duty. I'll ask him to assist Kaizer later. And, I have three new recruits to introduce.
Hou claps his hand twice, and three new members arrive. One is wearing a white short-sleeve hoodie, blue jeans, and a blue coat. The other wears a cyan coat as a cape, a white shirt, and cyan trousers. The last wears a dark blue trench coat, a black t-shirt, and dark blue jeans. Everyone's surprised.
Hou Ren: Meet Sailor Ren. Ice Ren. And Poet Ren.
All Three: Hello.
Judah: (Surprised) New Brothers.
Shiloh: Wow. You guys look handsome. But what can you guys do?
Sailor: For me, I can do this.
Sailor creates a water ball and splashes it at an Asleep Josiah???
Josiah: Whaa??? I'm Up. What I miss?
Ice: For me, I can do this. (Creates a small Ice Sculpture of Yin & Yang)
Everyone else: Oooh.
Poet: Aside from my poetry skills, I can do pottery. (Reveals a handmade Vase) What do you think?
Daryl: Impressive, but how are they born???
Hou Ren: That's a secret. They'll be helping the Juniors in training as well. Bonus, if there's a sea mission, they're perfect for the job.
Lost Ren: And might I ask, what world do you three use?
Ice: The same as Kaizer. Legend World.
Everyone stares at each other with smiles. Later, the matches continue with Ion & Tako commentating.
Ion: Incredible. Matches are played over and over. Hou, Shiloh & Lost Ren continuously won. Unfortunately, Daryl, the Ace of Studies, lost to the Ace of Legend, Prince Alexandre Ankh. Thus, he's out.
Daryl: Aww man....
Alec: Don't worry, it was a great fight.
Daryl: You can say that again.
They both shake hands.
Takokichi: Next. We have Ranma facing Masato, and...oh...Masato lost...
Masato is on the ground, completely defeated and shocked as he looks at what happened.
Masato: He's strong...
Ranma: (walks forward) You okay?
Masato looks up to see Ranma lend his hand. He then lets out a sigh.
Masato: Yeah. (Accepts his hand) For Share Man. I've been bested.
Ranma: More or less. Fight again sometime?
Masato: Sure.
They both also shake hands.
Ion: As much as I want to keep going, we only have a day left. (Receives notification) Huh? What's this?
A screen appears and displays Kyoya.
Kyoya: Indeed. We only have a day left. As a result, I decided to amp things up a bit. Because we have 9 players remaining, should a fighter lose a match, they will be instantly eliminated.
All: EH?
Ion: Wha...What?
Tako: Then this means if any of the participants lose, they are out.
Kyoya: And, should no one face each other, however, I will select two fighters at random and have them forced to fight each other. No backsees allowed.
Garga: Oh my...He's starting to pull the strings.
Hou Ren: Well, I'm not the type to back out. Who's next? Fight Me, Come On.
Meanwhile, at the Gaen Tower, Kyoya's subordinates observe the matches in a meeting room through a television. Shido and Davide are really...displeased.
Shido: No fair. I'm the greatest buddyfighter out there; I should be moving on.
Davide: Like you're one to talk. You barely won any matches ever since the Second round began.
Shido: Says you. You cheated constantly, and yet you lost three times.
Davide: Oh yeah? You want to settle this?
Shido: Bring it on.
Sophia: Enough.
Both: Huh?
Sophia: You both are acting like Children. Really, even as grown-ups, you're being like 5-year-olds.
Both: WHO DECIDES THAT?
Sophia: Says me. The Vice Chairman and Master Kyoya's right hand. Don't forget what we have to do.
They both went from Angry to calming themselves down while holding a grudge against each other. Elsewhere, at a park, Sailor Ren & Elijah are about to face off.
Sailor Ren: So you're my student, eh?
Elijah: It kinda makes no sense since I existed before you, but...oh well, I suppose school is the same with new teachers.
Sailor Ren: There's always something to learn, even for me. Show me what you got.
Elijah: Alright. But I'm not going easy on you. (Luminize) Rule this world by doing tasks in the dark. Luminize. Demonic Dark Judgement.
Sailor: Under your Captain's Call, Rally through the blue waters. Luminize. Sailor Knights.
Both: Raise the flag.
Elijah: Darkness Dragon World.
Sailor: Legend World.
Elijah: I'll go first. Draw. Charge and Draw. Evil Demonic Dragon, Cervus, to the center. (Cervus appears) Cast. Accel End. (Ability) Equip. Ever Dark Shadowing, Umbrelle. (Equips) Cervus. Attack the fighter.
Sailor's Life: 10 -> 9
Elijah: My turn is over.
Sailor: Draw. Charge. And Draw. I call Sailor Cat to the left.
Sailor Cat: (Appears) Yahoo. I'm a Sailor, cat!
Sailor: When placed, I get to add one SET or item card (reveals SET) to my hand. Allow me to show you a Sailor's Vessel. Set spell. Navy's Battleship.
A Big battleship with Garga's logo attached to the side and Garga's face as the head suddenly appears behind and above Sailor Ren. Elijah is shocked.
Sailor: I'm not done. I pay 1 gauge and 1 life and equip. Water Blades, Gar-Splash.
Sailor's Item is a set of water sabers.
Sailor: Now, I buddycall Garga to the right.
Garga appears.
Sailor: I cast. Rally of Sailors. Looking at the top 7 cards of my deck. One to my hand. Two to Battleship. And the remaining 4 to my gauge.
Elijah: That's a lot of cheddar!!!
Sailor: Sailor Cat. Destroy Cervus for me.
Sailor Cat destroys Cervus.
Sailor Cat: And there goes that. (vanishes)
Elijah: What just happened?
Sailor: When Sailor Cat finished attacking, I can move it to either Garga's or Battleship's soul. I choose Battleship.
Elijah: (Ponders, thought) I could be wrong, but...Battleship could be his key card.
Sailor: You're exactly right.
Elijah: AH?
Sailor: Battleship is my key card. (Raise hand) Operate under your captain's command. Launch Sailor Cat to the left.
Battleship glows and shoots Sailor Cat out of one of its three cannons.
Sailor Cat: Yahoo, I'm back in!!!
Elijah: Wait, what?
Sailor: That's Battleship's effect. During my attack phase, I can pay 2 gauge and summon one monster from its soul.
Elijah: So that's why you packed so many cards under there.
Sailor: It's a Sailor's Vessel. With Sailor Cat's other skill, when called by an effect, I draw one card and 1 damage to you.
Sailor Cat shoots its gun towards Elijah, but then suddenly, Umbrelle blocks???
Elijah: Unfortunately, you can't, because with Umbrelle, I don't take any damage.
Sailor: Then Sailor Cat, attack the fighter.
Elijah's Life: 10 -> 9
Sailor: Sailor Cat returns, and I activate Gar-Splash's effect. I pay 2 life and reactivate Battleships' ability.
Elijah: Again???
Sailor: But this time, I'm calling Sailor Dog to the left.
Sailor Dog: (Appears) Woof. This dog is ready to turn the tide.
Sailor: When Sailor Dog enters play, I gain 2 gauge and destroy two of the opponent's gauge.
Elijah's Gauge is reduced, much to his dismay.
Sailor: Sailor Dog, attack Elijah.
Elijah's Life: 9 -> 7
Sailor: My turn. (Attacks)
Elijah's Life: 7 -> 5
Sailor: Garga. It's your turn.
Garga attacks and hits. He attacks again.
Sailor: If you're not gonna defend, his double attack's gonna finish you.
Elijah: I cast. Diablos Shield. (Blocks) I gain 1 gauge and draw a card.
Sailor: Very well. Sailor Dog returns to the battleship, and my turn is now over.
Elijah: I get it now. You send cards to your ship so that you can call monsters to increase your number of attacks. But I don't get it. How is it that you're able to activate Battleship Twice?
Sailor: It's thanks to Gar Splash's effect. By paying 2 life, I can ignore the "Once per turn" cost for my Battleship and thus activate it twice. But to keep things fair, I can only do so once per turn.
Elijah: Kinda Strange, but okay. Draw. Charge and Draw. I call Evil Demonic Dragon, Lupus, to the left. (Lupus appears) And now, I buddycall Exterminating Evil Demonic Dragon, Belial, to the right.
Belial enters play.
Sailor: So that's his buddy, huh?
Elijah: I then move Lupus to Belial's soul. Increasing his stats in the process. And now, I cast Evil Moon's Blessing. I drain my life points to 1, and for each life point paid, I draw one card. And now I call Evil Demonic Dragon, Pavo.
Pavo appears.
Elijah: (Determined) Now that my life points are one, our true power is unleashed. Belial. Attack the fighter.
Belial Attacks.
Elijah: When Belial attacks, Pavo destroys an opponent's gauge.
Sailor's gauge is reduced.
Elijah: And the best part is, Belial now has 666 critical. Try stopping that.
Sailor: I cast. Ripple Shield. (Blocks) Belial may be strong, but my ripple shield ensures that he cannot attack further.
Elijah: What???
A tall cylinder of water swirls around Belial itself, preventing it from attacking.
Elijah: Belial!!!
Sailor: And also, I call Sailor Bird from Battleship's soul to the center.
Sailor Bird: (Appears) This bird's ready to swim.
Sailor: Sailor Bird increases the power of my cards by 3000. But I'll save his other skill for later.
Elijah: Then I'll attack with Umbrelle instead. I can't destroy your gauge, but I can still draw, and you have to discard a hand card.
Sailor Ren discards a hand card while Elijah attacks and hits.
Sailor Bird: I'm down for the count. (Destroyed)
Elijah: Umbrelle has double attack. The same effect once more.
Sailor Ren discards another card, braces himself, and takes damage.
Elijah: Pavo. Attack him.
Hit.
Elijah: And that's all.
Sailor: Not bad. You didn't attack Garga, knowing he could counterattack. And you actually reduced my hand and gauge. However, I would say you are still reckless. You still have one life left.
Elijah: Even still. I will survive. And I will finish you next turn.
Sailor: I don't think so. If anything, I would say you triggered my trap card.
Elijah: Uh, what?
Sailor: Draw. Charge and Draw. I cast again. Rally of Sailors. (Ability) Elijah. I thank you for dropping my life points. Because now, I get to reveal (reveals a glowing card) this.
Elijah: What?
Sailor: I send Gar Splash to the dropzone. (Does So) O Great God of The Sea. I beg of thee. Lend me your strength and grant me victory.
Sailor Ren's aura glows as he suddenly becomes somewhat of a water deity. He wields a giant water trident. Blue Waters swirl around him. He becomes more of a professional Sailor Captain as his jacket becomes his cape, and he wears a Sailor Hat.
Sailor: Spiral Waters, Sailor Ren..."POSEIDON".
Elijah's surprised and says, "What the...".
Sailor: Witness as I harness the power of Poseidon, the God of the Sea. I can only release this card when I have 6 or fewer life points, and I must have Garga on my field. All of my cards can't be destroyed, leave the field, and abilities cannot be nullified.
Elijah: Whoa!!! That's cool.
Sailor: Once again, Sailor Bird to the left.
Sailor Bird appears.
Elijah: Hold up. I move Belial to the center.
Belial moves.
Sailor: Sailor Bird. Attack Belial.
Sailor Bird attacks, but it did not hit.
Elijah: You do know that Belial now has 23000 defense, right?
Sailor: I'm not done yet. Sailor Bird goes to Battleship. And now, I activate Battleship's ability. (Pays 2 gauge) I call two Sailor Birds to the center and left.
Sailor vanishes and reappears in twos.
Elijah: Wait, Two???
Sailor: (Holds his trident) It's thanks to my ability. Instead of calling one, I can call two. And all monsters that are called by card effects become size 0 and gain 10000 power.
Elijah: It's still not enough to overpower his defense.
Sailor: Which is why I'm activating Sailor Bird's other skill. When placed by an effect, for this turn, an opponent's card loses 5000 power.
Elijah: (surprised) Wait, there are two of them. Then that means...
Sailor: (smirk) 10000 power.
Both Sailor Birds glow their eyes, and a blue aura suddenly pins Belial down, reducing his defense to 13000.
Sailor: The real attack phase begins. Sailor Birds. Attack Belial, one at a time.
Sailor Birds attack and hit.
Elijah: I cast. Diablos Conversion. Since my life points are one, I don't have to pay the cost. And I can bring the destroyed Belial back into the game.
Belial revives.
Sailor: Garga. Destroy Pavo.
Garga defeats Pavo.
Sailor: Attack Belial next.
But Garga's attack doesn't have enough power, so it's a no-hit.
Sailor: It doesn't hit, but I can G-EVO. Change. Entering the High Seas, Gargantua Navalgazer!!!
Garga changes to his Sailor Form. His jacket is being worn as a cape. Armed with Two Giant Cannons In the back. He has become the Captain of the High Seas. Elijah's surprised.
Sailor: Meet Garga's Sailor form. It's said that when he appears, the ocean roars with him. When placed through G-EVO, I launch Sailor Bird to the center and left.
Sailor Birds revives.
Elijah: Sailor Bird again??? And you don't have to pay the cost?
Sailor: Navalgazer allows me to call up to two cards from my hand or a soul of a card. In other words, I can just reactivate Battleship without using its ability.
Elijah: Crazy...
Sailor: Just like the endless blue waves, my forces grow. And thanks to my ability, once again, my cards gain 10000 power. Including Navalgazer himself.
Elijah: Not so fast. I discard Evil Demonic Dragon, Vespertilio from my hand. Garga and the Sailor Bird on the left lose 10000 power and critical -3. You don't have enough power.
Sailor: You forgot about Sailor Bird's other skill, didn't you?
Elijah: (surprised) AH?
Belial now has 3000 defense. Elijah responds with "I'm dead.".
Sailor: Sailor Birds. Attack Again.
Elijah: Successive Cast. Midnight Shadows. (Blocks Twice)
Sailor: Very well. Garga. Get him.
Navalgazer fires his cannons.
Elijah: I cast. Diabolos Death Toll. (Blocks) I won't let you destroy him.
Sailor: Yes, I will. Since more than 6 attacks are made this turn, Navalgazer stands, and his attack cannot be countered.
Elijah: WHAT??????
Sailor: His specialty. Navalgazer...Esperaridea!!!
Navalgazer attacks again, and it hits, and Belial is destroyed.
Elijah: BELIAL!!!
Sailor: Fare thee well, Elijah Nelson.
Sailor Ren uses his Water Trident and wraps Elijah in a massive water cyclone. Elijah is shocked as he's inside. Unable to defend or run out. Above the Cyclone, the young sailor strikes through the opening and hits. Elijah yells, and his flag is eliminated. Sailor lands and returns to normal. Elijah is really shocked to see what happened.
Elijah: So this...Sailor Ren.
Sailor: (Walks forward) You alright? (Lend a hand)
Elijah: Yeah....(Grabs) You're crazy.
Sailor: Back at you.
Both sides smile. Sunset arrives.
Sailor: You know, despite my finishing move, you should've finished me off last turn. 1 life point means you don't have to hold back. But, you also should've considered, like, reducing my hand before you attack.
Elijah: And if I did, I could've won there. Aww man. Why didn't I realize that before?
Sailor: (chuckles) It's okay. Practice makes perfect. Everyone makes mistakes, even me. The important thing is to learn from them and better ourselves with it.
Elijah: True that. Thanks for fighting me today. But I have a question: how did you harness the power of Poseidon?
Sailor: That's a secret. But I can share one thing. Like me, in the future, even you can harness the power of the Gods.
Elijah: I can do that? ... Wow... I never knew.
Sailor: For now, until you are ready, let's continue our training first.
Elijah: Sure...(Ponders) I wonder how the rest are doing, though...
Elsewhere, Poet Ren & Ice Ren defeated Micah and Judah. The two are really stunned. Not because they lost. But because of their skill level.
Poet: C'est fini.
ED: Gonna Be Right.
Poet: Poet here. Ice and I are facing Judah and Micah. A tag match. Next time, "Frozen Poetry". Join us for a Buddyfight.
Story End.
