Kuuga City.

That's right, we're back at it again.

For one more chapter until it goes on dead silence for months, but what can you do. The studio has other things to do.

Taking Park's sarcastic advice to visit the beach districts to seek the source of the weird radio transmissions being sent from there to heart, Raiden, Nagi and Nakiri visited said district. After leaving the Old Reliable at a parking lot, they made their way through the part of the district facing the sea, assuming Bethel's scouts would stick to the inner parts of the city.

The beach district was, for a lack of a better term, the rich side of Kuuga. Everyone who had money and didn't live in fancy schmancy mansions in the woods or high cost apartments in the city lived there, and it showed.

As the three girls walked past some restaurants and shops, they were violently smacked in the face with high prices each time they stopped to look at something. Sure, Raiden was now Tsukuyomi, but all the money stayed with people of Shohei's trust, and meeting with them this soon after Bethel's rise could create problems.

At the end of the day, they just sat on the beach, eating some fruit a worker of a parlour sold them for cheap. The owner wasn't around, and the worker was really bad at remembering the special prices of the place.

"That's a nice eighteen hours down the drain... I mean, at least we didn't run into any of Yuujin's mooks. I guess that counts for something." Raiden sighed, resting her head on Nagi's shoulder. "Why did we take Park's jokes seriously... I wanna go home and play Nexus! I need my daily dose of pixelated Tour Guide!"

"Yeah, today turned out to just be a waist. But hey, at least we snagged some fresh apples off that hot piece of banana! Never doubt the power of free food, Raiden-chan! Tell her, Nagi-chan!" Nakiri exclaimed.

"I don't like apples." Nagi bluntly replied.

"Huh, hai... We could go try asking Banana Jesus-kun if he knows anything. He seemed like the only nice guy in these rich parts. Yeesh, you can smell the gambling addiction here. I'm sure we crossed like sixty dirty gacha players today."

"For real, Nakiri-chan? That guy barelly seem to know where he was and what he was doing, let alone know of some rumours about radio transmissions. I really wish we could ask Yaiba-san for help but we can't afford to own her more favours..." Raiden frowned. 

"Maybe we should call it a day and go back to Nakiri-san's uncle's place? I think we're better off looking for allies in another part of Kuuga." Nagi suggested. 

"Yeah... Today turned out to be a masisve waste of time. We should just go back." The weeb sighed, getting up and stretching her arms and legs.

"N-nagi-chan? That weird cat look on your eyes is back..." Nakiri spoke up.

"Oh? Apologies. I like it when Raiden stretches. Her midriff looks alot like ice cream." The red haired girl nodded.

"N-nagi?!" Raiden squealed.

"I know I acknowledge how down bad I sound when I talk about Saionji-sama but you sound even worse for Raiden-chan, Nagi-chan..." Nakiri sweatdropped and got up aswell. "Alright! Let's go back to the good Old Reliable! We might not have any new allies, but aslong as we have that car, we have the world!"

And when they got back to the parking lot, the Old Reliable had been completly trashed.

It's windshield was shattered, the doors had been beaten into almost falling off, three tires had been pierced while one was missing, and a weird roasted smell was leaking from the hood.

Overall, not very cool for any of the Tsukuyomi members.

"MY CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR! WHO WOULD DO SUCH A THING TO MY POOR OLD RELIABLE 86?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Nakiri cried, falling to her knees. 

"You have to be kidding me... Can't we catch a break..." Raiden weeped.

"This certainly makes things more troublesome." Nagi said.

"REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! I'M GOING TO FIND WHOEVER DID THIS TO MY PRECIOUS BABY AND I'M GONNA MAKE THEM SEE ME BANG THEIR MOM, THEIR DAD, THEIR CRUSH AND THEN SKIN THEM ALIVE! THIS IS UNFORGIVEABLE! A WAR CRIME! A HATE CRIME TOO! I'M GOING TO MURDER WHOEVER DID THIS TO MY PRECIOUS CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!"

"Calm down, Nakiri-chan... It sucks, yes, but we really can't afford to draw attentions to ourselves!" Raiden said, helping Nakiri up. "Come on, let's get out of here! We can probably wait for nighttime and then catch a bus or a train to a station near your uncle's place!"

"That could be troublesome. I'm certain Bethel would put travel restrictions on public transports first and foremost, to hinder our ability to evade them." Nagi spoke up.

"And right you are, Hijiri Nagi-san."

The three girls looked back at the source of incoming footsteps and applause.

And then saw nothing.

"Move your heads a bit down, females."

And then they looked a bit down.

It was some kid with brown hair and a jacket maybe a size too big for him. But damn, did he looked rich as shit.

"You... DID YOU DO THIS?! FUCK 'EM ORPHANS, I'M GONNA BEAT THIS KID TO DEATH!"

With a loud and wild roar, Nakiri prepared to violently murder that small child where he stood, but thankfully Raiden and Nagi were quick to the move and held her back. They didn't even need to use alot of force, Nakiri was really a lightweight.

"LET ME AT HIM, RAIDEN-CHAN AND NAGI-CHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN! I'M GOING TO MAKE HIS PARENTS CHILDLESS FOR THE CRIMES HE COMMITTED AGAINST MY LOVELY CAAAAAAAAAAAR! THAT WAS THE LAST RELIC MY BROTHER LEFT ME WITH BEFORE HE CALLED IT QUITS ON THE FAM AND WENT TO LIVE WITH HIS SUGAR MOMMY!"

"We get people see us as the bad guys but killing some kid won't make our job easier, Nakiri-chan! Calm down, just think of Saionji big breasts or something!!!" Raiden cried.

"SAIONJI-SAMA'S BIG TIDDIES CAN WAIT, THIS KID MUST REGRET HIS PARENTS HAVING UNPROTECTED SEX FIRST AND FOREMOST!!! THAT'S THE SOLE REASON FOR ME TO LIVE FROM NOW ON! UNTIL I MAKE THIS SMALL CHILD REGET ALL HE DID TODAY, I WILL NEVER FIND INNER PEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!"

"You look too young to have done all of this. Who are you?" Nagi asked, looking at the boy.

"My name is Kajiki Teruto, teehee~!" The boy revealed, sticking his tongue out with a cute wink.

Sadly for him, Nakiri was only into people who have given birth before and Raiden and Nagi were into each other, so appealing to the chance any of them was a shotacon didn't work.

"But if that doesn't ring a bell, then this might. I happen to be also known as Cyclone, of Bethel's Disasters of Destruction unit." Teruto grinned, crossing his arms.

But Raiden and Nagi only seemed to be trying to held back their laughs. Even Nakiri became calmer after hearing that out.

"F-for real...? Disasters of Destruction? I knew Yuujin was as bad as naming things as he was at not getting handtrap, but this is a brand new stage of not knowing how to name things..." Nakiri muttered.

"What are the chances he's just playing a prank on us? Him being a piece of shit as he is, I'm sure Yuujin wouldn't actually make a unit with that name." Raiden said.

"Raiden, look. He's holding his official Bethel badge." Nagi pointed at Teruto, who was indeed holding the proof of his claims.

"It's not a joke... HEY SHIT NAMES ASIDE, YOU BETTER PAY FOR MY CAR, YOU DAMN SHIT EAT, GOOB SNIFFING, PRE-PUBERTY HITTING BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!" Nakiri screeched, back on the offensive.

"What? No way I'm giving you thots any cash. Shouldn't have left your poor people car on my side of town. This zone is under my eye. I smashed the pitiful thing to bits because I felt like it, but I guess what the red one said's right. It does make my job of catching you even easier!" Teruto laughed, putting on his golden duel disk. 

Jesus christ, the kid is actually flexing on them.

"How old are you? Shouldn't you be in bed by now?" Raiden asked.

"I'm twelve, and I'll be in bed with your dead mom after I beat your hooker-looking asses and hand you over to Honami."

"...Nakiri-chan, bite." Raiden muttered, letting go of Nakiri.

"Perhaps we can ask Sugimura-san to cover up this after we free him." Nagi said, letting go of Nakiri aswell.

Are you really considering letting Nakiri kill the brat? Metal.

"COME HERE, YOU SHIT-EATING GRIN BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!!!!!"

Once again, Nakiri prepared herself to tackle that little shitter and repay him for the car damage, Sparta style, but stopped after some random guy walked in front of her and stopped.

"Eh?" Nakiri blinked.

"Isn't he..." Raiden muttered.

"He looks familiar." Nagi said.

"Who... Who the hell are you?! Your hobo aura is insulting me! Get out of my way before I sue you!" Teruto exclaimed.

The man in question was the worker from the fruit parlour the girls visited before. He was a tall and thin guy, hiding his hair under a bandanna and his eyes behind some cool looking shades. He even had a face mask to boot.

But more importantly, he had a pendant around his neck, with a card inside a metal sleeve hanging off it.

He was taken to that parking lot by the winds that swayed his card around.

"You stopped here? Then that must mean this will help get a step closer to recover what I lost." The worked said, tucking his pendant under his shirt. He looked around, and then at the girls. "I met you today, right? You're those girls that have been on the news. The yakuza ones?"

"Uhm, yeah... Thanks for the fruit, by the way. The apples were tasty." Raiden said, bowing.

"Yeah, yeah, free food rocks, now get out of the way, Banana Jesus-san! That brat ruined my car and he's gonna pay with large amounts of violence!"

"He broke your car... Car... Hngh!"

The man suddenly grabbed his head and began groaning.

"Car... Riding... We rode together... That's how we met that other guy... And then those other guys at the venue... And then we... We...!"

"W-what the hell's wrong with this guy?! Screw this, I'm taking him in with the rest of you, you babylonian whores!" Teruto exclaimed.

"Shut up, you goddamn shit-eating the brat!" The worked yelled out, quieting those around him. "I barelly remembered anything but... If there's one thing I remember... Is that I hate kids above all else!"

The worked grabbed his apron and threw it into the sky, along with the things he used to hide his face and hair. Underneath the apron, he wore a cool red jacket, just as red as his eyes, and his hair was blonde, tied into a weird ponytail.

Upon seeing the hair, Teruto only had one reaction.

"BANANA!"

"No, I'm Baron! Wait, that's not right. My name is Nozomi Anjou!"

"Anjou..." Nagi muttered.

"Nozomi..." Raiden followed.

"Banana..." Nakiri nodded.

"We don't get it." The three girls said.

"Buwahahahaha! Look at you, your lame ass name really sounds like a no one's name! Go figure the only thing I see when I look at you is a walking heap of trash, no one in this world has heard your name before!" Teruto laughed.

"Yeah, I'd hope so. That's the name I came up with when I woke up, I'd hate to be stealing someone's identity by accident." Nozomi said, rubbing the back of his head.

"Ah?! Who the hell do you think you are to talk back to-"

"The name's Nozomi Anjou, I'm an amnesic ho woke up like six months ago. I don't remember everything but I remember three things." Nozomi cut in. "The first: I hate annoying kids, so you're on the blacklist already. The second: I remember having a friend, so I'm dedicating my new life to find him and find out about myself. All I have left from him is the card around my neck, so I'll let that guide me back to my friend. And the third: I remember working alongside people who wore lab coats, meaning I was either a doctor or a scientist, but whichever it was, I know I'm trained in sixty different ways to remove that tumour inside your head that's making you such a retard at a young age."

"YEAH, YOU LET HIM HAVE IT, BANANA JESUS-KUN! BEAT HIS ASS WITH SOME FRESH FRUIT!" Nakiri yelled, smacking the hood of the Old Reliable to cheer on Nozomi.

"Nakiri-chan, the car's going to get worse if you keep doing that!" Raiden sweatdropped.

"Nozomi-san, why are you revealing yourself to us?" Nagi asked.

"Like I said, I'm letting my friend's card guide me back to him. Usually, the wind blows it in a direction and then stops when I reached something that can get me a step closer. It stopped when I got to this city, it stopped when I got to the fruit parlour, and it stopped when I met you, here and now. I'm bad at remembering things, but if the news reports don't fool me, your names were Nakiri, Hijiri, and Shino- Shida- Sha- Raiden, right?" Nozomi asked, looking back at the three. "If you let me, I'll fight this kid for you, and fight alongside you on whatever you're doing."

"Pffffff, you really wanna risk getting sent to jail alongside some dirty yakuza because some card said so? What a pathetic hobo!" Teruto laughed.

"Yeah, I will. I either beat you and get closer to find my friend, or I lose and never see him again. That's my gambit." Nozomi declared, putting on his crack-covered duel disk on his forearm and punching his deck in. 

"If you're willing to go this far to meet with someone you don't remember... I have no doubts you're a good man, Nozomi-san. So yes, you're more than welcome in Tsukuyomi!" Raiden declared.

"You're really gonna drag a poor amnesiac into your evil group? Don't you have any shame?" Teruto asked with his shit-eating grin.

"Be quiet. You're clearly ill. I recommend either killing yourself or accepting defeat." Nozomi replied.

"Banana Jesus-kun is hardcore! I like him! Yeah, tell that kid he fucking sucks, Banana Jesus-kun!" Nakiri shouted.

"Tch, stupid bitches. Sure, brainrot man. I'll duel you and take you to Bethel for helping out dirty criminals." Teruto said. "Duel!"

"Duel!"

[Nozomi Anjou (8000) versus Kajiki Teruto (8000)]

"I only need one card in my extra monster zone to win this without breaking a sweat." Nozomi said, drawing his five cards.

"How about you go find dinner, shitface? I saw a pretty snazzy looking trashcan near here. That's where I dropped one of the tires of that lump of scrap." Teruto replied.

"AH?! YOU LEFT MY TIRE WHERE?!"

"Please calm down, Nakiri-san." Nagi requested.

"My turn. I summon Rescue Cat in attack mode! Rescue Cat's effect. By tributing it, I special summon two level 3 or lower Beast monsters from my deck, but they're effects are negated. I special summon Scareclaw Acroa and Scareclaw Astra in defense position!"

"Scareclaw?" Raiden asked.

"Yeah, it's a pretty recent archetype, Raiden-chan. Basically, it's a beatdown deck where only one monsters beats shit down. Pretty sure he's also a mini floodgate on legs or something." Nakiri shrugged.

"Using Astra, I create the link circuit! Circuit combine! Link Summon! Screclaw Licht Heart!"

"Licht Heart's effect. I add the field spell Lifobia from my deck to my hand. Then, I activate it! Lifobia, the Wanton and Willful World of Desire!"

"Lifobia's effect. I can either add a Screclaw monster or Visas Starfrost from my deck to my hand. I'll add Visas Starfrost, and then activate his effect from my hand! By tributing a monster with a different type and attribute, I can special summon him! I tribute Licht Heart to special summon Visas Starfost!"

"And then, I use Licht Heart's effect! Since I control Visas Starfrost, I special summon him from the grave! Now, using Visas Starfrost, Licht Heart and Acroa, I create an even bigger link circuit! The requirements are three effect monsters! Circuit combine! Reach the apex of biology and reshape the laws of nature, lost ruler of an ecosystem beyond the sea of stars! Link Summon! Scareclaw Trich Heart!"

"With Trich Heart's continuous effect, all monsters on the field will be changed to defense position, and he is unaffected by their effects. But that's not all he does. Trich Heart's effect! I special summon Astra from my graveyard, and add a Scareclaw monster from deck to hand!From my hand, I activate Scareclaw Reich Heart's effect! I special summon it next to Astra in defense mode! Reich Heart's second effect. I add a Screclaw spell to my hand. Then, I'll activate it! Scareclaw Nova! I special summon Acroa next to Reich Heart! And finally, I activate the effect of Screclaw Veronea from my hand and special summon him next to Acroa! I set three cards and end my turn!"

"You sure dragged out the last turn you're ever going to have, didn't you? I hope you signed your will and gave the other trash rats whatever shit you had left because Cyclone of the Disasters of Destruction is going to take you in! Draw! I activate Fluffal Bear's effect! By discarding him, I set Toy Vendor from my deck! Then, I activate Toy Vendor!"

"Toy Vendor's effect. I ditch a card to draw one and reveal it. If it's a Fluffal, I special summon it. (Fluffal Owl) Lucky me. I special summon Fluffal Owl! With its effect, I add Polymerization to my hand!"

"Trich Heart's effect. Fluffal Owl is forced into defense mode."

"Yeah, yeah, eat a turd. I activate Polymerization! With it, I'll fuse my Fluffal Owl and Edge Imp Chain! Under every cute plushie in your bedroom lies a demon waiting to eat your guts while you sleep! Leave it to the one named after the greatest sea monster to be the one to guide the other infernal toys towards their feast! Fusion Summon! Frightfur Kraken!"

"Edge Imp Chain's effect! I add a Frightfur card from the dekc to my hand. Then, I'll activate Frightfur Patchwork! With its effect, I add Edge Imp Sabres and Polymerization to my hand! Once again, I activate Polymerization! This time, I'll fuse Edge Imp Sabres with Fluffal Pengiun! Please, go back to sleep and continue dreaming, leave yourself open for the fiendish king to take the first bite! Fusion Summon! Frightfur Cruel Whale!"

"I KNEW IT! ALL GACHA WHALES ARE CRUEL, SPECIALLY THE ONES IN THIS SIDE OF KUUGA!" Nkairi yelled.

"Zip it, will you? Cruel Whale's effect! When he's fusion summoned, I can destroy a card in both sides of the field! I'll destroy my Toy Vendor and your-!"

"At this moment, I activate one of my face down cards! Gorgon's Eye!"

"G-gorgon's Eye?!"

"Gorgon's Eye? Is that a new Reptilianne card?" Raiden asked.

"No, no, it's some super old card thats basically an Effect Veiler for monsters in defense mode." Nakiri explained with a shrug.

"That's right. Gorgon's Eye will negate the effects of all monsters in defense mode on the field, including my own."

"Tch, annoying hobo. Penguin's effect. I draw two and discard one. I set two face downs and pass." Teruto sighed, but kept his shit-eating grin. 'Drought and Baldie called me an idiot for running cards this old, but these little Draining Shield and Mirror Force of mine will make beating this stupid hobo much easier.'

"It's my turn again. Draw. Lifobia's effect. Since there's three monsters in defense mode on the field, I can destroy a card on your field. I'm taking Kraken down!"

"Eeeeh? I have two face downs on my field and you go for my litte Kraken? You want to lose that bad?"

"Like I said, something up there's making you a retard. Lifobia's second effect. Your monsters lose 100 attack and defense for each monster in defense position on the field. There's four, so that's 400."

"I know, I can read. (2600 > 2200/2400 > 2000) But so what? What's a small debuff gonna do?"

"Make me finish this faster. If you really knew how to read, you'd have known what my Scareclaw beasts do by now."

"What?"

"Veronea's effect. Trich Heart gets piercing. Acroa's effect. Trich Heart gets 300 for each defnese mode monsters on my side. (3000 > 4200) And Astra's effect. Trich Heart can attack up to the number of Scareclaw monsters in defense mode with different names."

"You think that's gonna win you anything? Then come at me! Your junk deck filled with shit can't win! I'll beat you senseless regardless next tu-!"

"No."

Teruto grit his teeth and looked up at Nozomi.

In turn, Nozomi looked down on him with a stern look in his eyes.

"There won't be a next turn. Let's begin the operation. I'd ignore the alarms if I were you."

(Media - Rogue Standby)

"Battle! Trich Heart attacks Cruel Whale! (4200) Biologic Gambit Sclash!"

"Ehue, eat my shit, you useless morron! I activate my face down card, Mirror Force! This will-!"

"I activate my face down card, Crossout Designator! I banish a Mirror Force from my deck to negate the effects of cards with the same name during this turn!"

"W-what?!"

"Cruel Whale's destroyed!"

"Ack! (8000 > 5800)"

"Trich Heart, attack again, this time directly! (4200) Biologic Gambit Sclash!"

"You wish! I activate my second face down, Draining Shield! This will-!"

"I activate my second face down, Scareclaw Straddle! It negates an effect that would target my Scareclaw monsters!"

"AH?! (5800 > 1600) Y-you little..."

"You called my deck junk filled with shit, so let me teach you something. You can learn alot about cards from just looking at their image. If you stop to look through the Scareclaw cards, you can see the story they tell. A space voyager arrives at an unknown world, seeking for someone. In doing so, he battles the leader of that planet's biologic life. I picked thi deck because our stories are similar. Just like how Visas Starfrost and Reich Heart are similiar, so am I and the friend I am looking for. And just like how Visas Starfrost never stopped trying to find Reich Heart, so won't I stop. And as for the shit in my deck... That's some extras to deal with his annoying gameplan, whatever it might be."

'Tch, this guy... He's a total airheaded hobo outside a duel, but when he fights, he puts on such an imposing facade... It's like he's made at the image of a king, bit for bit...!' Teruto thought, gritting his teeth.

"Trich Heart! (4200) Biologic Gambit Sclash!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! (1600 > 0)"

"HELL YEAH! BANANA JESUS-KUN GOT REVENGE FOR MY SWEET OLD RELIABLE!" Nakiri screamed, pounding her chest. "Hey, Banana Jesus-kun, I'm single so give me your number!"

"You're also a minor and I'm not a Cardguard Vanfight player, so I'll pass. I'm into cool girls who run gangs from junkyards. It's specific, but it's burned into my mind." Nozomi said, tapping his forehead.

"You homeless banana-looking shit head... You don't know what hell you just threw yourself into!" Teruto shouted, before booking it the hell out of there.

"I hate annoying kids... He doesn't even know how to flex for real." Nozomi said.

"Nozomi-san, that was super cool! It's great to have you on board!" Raiden exclaimed, shaking Nozomi's hands.

"Speaking of that, I have a question for you, Nozomi-san." Nagi said, pulling Raiden's hand away from Nozomi. "What is that card on your neck?"

"Oh this? Have a look." Nozomi said, showing the dusty old card he cared about so much. That thing looked so old that it'd probably turn to dust if it got out of the sleeve.

"Thunder of Ruler...? For real...? You run Crossout Designator just to deal with Thunder of Ruler...? Man, I expecting a Monarch or something, maybe even Nib or Rite, not a shit trap made before we were born..." Nakiri weeped. She was expecting too much for Banana Jesus-kun.

"I have another question. You had a job, Nozomi-san. Do you have money?" Nagi asked.

"Funny story. I forgot to sign a contract, so I was never paid. I only kept working for free since this is where Thunder of Ruler guided me too."

"...Nozomi-san, you need to start remembering those types of things..." Raiden sweatdropped.

"But I have the keys to the parlour's van. I'll take that van as a compensation for violating worker rights. Come on, I parked it near here."

"You have a van?! Cool!" Nakiri exclaimed.

"You should focus on the fact he remembers how to drive, Nakiri-san." Nagi sighed. "On another note. Have you heard of rumours about radio transmissions coming from this part of Kuuga, Nozomi-san?"

"Not really. I haven't heard anything about tha- Argh!" Nozomi grabbed his head. 

"N-nozomi-san?! Are you okay?!" Raiden asked, helping Nozomi to stay up.

"Another memory's coming in...! It's a card... A fusion monsters...! The name is... Her name is...! K-kentregina!"

"As in Dinomorphia Kentregina?" Nagi asked.

Nakiri froze.

"Oh no, my sins are following me now that I'm living that disco yakuza life..."

Moving away from the Tsukuyomi faction and their new addition, Teruto quickly went to Bethel HQ and to the control room, where he relayed the information about meeting Raiden and the others to Yuujin.

In the room were, besides Yuujin and Teruto, Yuujin's bald second hand man, Masanori; the Deadhand impersonator Timothy, now going by Godhand; Jetstream Hector, the man who dueled Yua the night before; and a woman with long, blue hair, dressed in a crimson kimono covered in white flower-shaped patterns. The kimono was open on the side, so she was packing some massive sideboob action.

"So Deadhand got a new ally, huh? Minor. Some amnesiac idiot will never pose a threat." Yuujin scoffed. 

"I don't know, Honami." Masanori spoke up. "Some amnesiac ends up in town and now joins Tsukuyomi? I'd watch out for that Nozomi Anjou guy on the basis of things being interesting."

"You're a fool, monkman." Godhand cackled.

"Yet I was born in a country free of gun problems. Check and mate."

"Are you fools done talking? If it's fine with you, I will go after them next." The woman said.

"They're all yours, Drought. I don't care if you bring Nakiri, the Doujima daughter or the amnesiac in warm or cold, but Deadhand's off limits. She's mine. You're all dismissed." Yuujin waved them off.

"Before we go, I'd like to ask Teruto a question." Hector said. "Were you the one behind the radio transmissions coming from there? I'd say that was a genius way to bring Tsukuyomi to your part of Kuuga, if you did."

"I wish. I dunno anything about those radio things." Teruto shrugged. "And it's Cyclone to you, Sundowner. Speaking of that, where's Snowstorm?"

"Who knows where that old hog could be? He is not one to visit HQ unless it's absolutely needed. It's what makes him the worst member of the Disasters." Drought sighed, walking out of the room.

After the other Bethel members left, Yuujin leaned back on his chair and rubbed his chin.

"If neither us or the Doujima are behind the radio transmissions in Kuuga... Then who is?"

Kuuga City.

Finally, Raiden, Nagi and Nakiri gained a new alley in their journey to rescue Shohei and free Kuuga from Bethel. Nozomi may forget things like he breathes, but at least he remembers what his deck does.
