CUSTOM CARD WARNING!! (This chapter contains Fan made cards. Anyone who is not a fan of them, please restrain from leaving negative comments about it and either put up with it or do not read this chapter, thank you)

The morning started like any other. Chain woke up, Hearty being awake before him. He remembers once asking her when she wakes up, with Hearty replying "Way before you". She and Chain had been up half the night fixing his deck and they finally agreed on a layout. Chain was eager to test out his new deck, and he knew who his next opponent was going to be.

The road to Sanbuki Academy was littered with students of different ages. Groups and couples of kids were all walking in the same direction. I majority of the children and young adults all attended the same school due to its great lessons and good reputation. Though that was not how Chain saw it. Chain saw a chore to come into this place and sit around. It wasnt fun, he knew that. But he couldnt understand how Hearty enjoyed coming here. Since the Buddy Laws were put into effect, life became much more easier and more fun. "What you thinking about?", Hearty said from behind him, in her Human form. "Oh, not much", Chain replied. He was thinking about something though. The school had called for an assembly before the lunch break. The only time a school called for assebly was whenever something important was coming up or had just happened, so Chain figured that it was pretty serious. "HEY!", a voice shouted. Chain and Hearty both turned to see Serena and Fira walking towards them, Serena having shouted and now waving to them. They caught up to Chain and Hearty and chatted along the way to school. "So Serena, you free a little after school today?", Chain asked. "Sure, what's up?", Serena replied. "Well, I finally finished reconfiguring my deck, and wondered if you would help me test it?", he said. Serena smiled and replied, "No problem, Me and Dag need the practice anyway". "Practice?", Chain thought Serena never usually liked to practice, except whenever Chain asked for 30 times, but didn't think too much about it.

Sanbuki Academy, Main Hall, 11:50

The entire school was gathered in the main hall for the assembly. Chain could see all the different year groups organized. He was sat with Serena and Sorin, Fira sat behind Serena. Yuki had to sit with the first years on the other side of the hall, along with Berith. The Buddy monsters had their own seating arrangement on the upper stands, so Hearty and Jace sat up there. Many other Buddy monsters were sat there, from all the students who drew Buddy Rare cards. The main stage was decorated with the flags of different Buddyfight worlds, including Dragon World, Magic World, Dungeon World and Ancient World.

The principal walked up to the stand on the stage and started to speak. "Quiet please, everyone quiet down". With those words, the entire hall went silent. "I have called this assembly to make an annoucement. As you all know, the Buddy Laws have made life much easier for everyone and their Buddy monsters. Of course, the game itself, has not changed. I would like to be the first to announce, the coming of a new event. Next Friday, Sanbuki Academy will be playing host to the regional qualifiers for all Buddyfighters to take part in, and that includes all of you". The crowd started chatting amongst themselves, everyone reacting differently. Sorin and Fira both looked at each other and smiled. Serena was feeling really giddy. Yuki suddenly felt nervous, while Berith was in fact calm, and talking about it with other students. "Calm down everyone!", the principal declared. "Of course, this is an exciting event, however there are a few things I should clarify. Firstly, this tournament is a team tournament, and every entering team must have at least 3 fighters. There is no limit to the amount of members on any team other than that. We will also be likely to have teams from other schools attending. So I would like you all to remember to be on your best behaviour next Friday. Oh, one last thing, there have been rumors of Buddyfighter attacking people in the night. I advise any of you out late to be on your guard. Now thank you for listening and I hope you look forward to Friday". *BONG, BONG* The school bell rang to signal lunch, and everyone made their way out of the room as fast as their feet would take them.

Sanbuki Academy, Lunchroom, 12:06

Chain had managed to get everyone sat together on one table to discuss the upcoming tournament. "Since it's a team tournament, why don't we all be on the same team?", Chain suggested. "Yeah!" Serena and Berith shouted, while Yuki nervously nodded. Sorin and Fira, however, simply looked at each other. "What's up with you two?", Berith asked. Sorin glanced back at everyone before going back to eating, leaving Fira the task of explaining. "Actually, Me and Sorin are already going to be part of a team. We actually already formed it, just after the announcement was made". Chain was surprised to hear how quickly they worked. Hearty however, liked their ingenuity. Jace was a little confused about why they wouldn't want to be on the same team as their friends, but decided to not say anything about it.

"So what kind of students from other school do you think will show?", Serena asked. "I hope a lot of strong fighters show, I need the practice and it'll be good to face new opponents!", Berith declared. Yuki raised her head to speak, "I just hope their all friendly", She quietly said. "I'm sure they will be Yuki, don't worry about it", Jace said reassuringly, placing his hand on her shoulder to comfort her. Chain wasn't quite sure what to make of it all. On one hand, it would be great to fight new players and see how well his new deck worked. But on the other, they would all be complete strangers and may not be the friendly type at all. His thoughts were not on the tournament for too long though. The last thing the principal had said worried him. A Buddyfighter going around at night, attacking other fighters. It was a scary thought but Chain wasn't worried. Chain suddenly noticed a shape run past his legs, and it went round the entire table. "Hey, what's that?", He questioned, gesturing at the shape. Everyone looked around for whatever Chain had seen. Yuki was a little scared by what it could be, when all of sudden, something crawled up her body, onto her lap. It was a small purple lizard like creature, but Yuki didn't leave enough time to process what she was looking at.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH" She screamed at the top of her voice, throwing the lizard into the air and falling backwards. "Dag!", Serena shouted, holding her arms out to catch the lizard. Serena managed to catch the lizard and everyone had time to cool down, except Yuki, still a little terrified. Chain was a little surprised to see Serenas Buddy, having not seen him since the summer holidays. "Hey, Dagger what were you doing?", Chain questioned. The lizard was, in fact, not a lizard. It was a small purple dragon with a few points sticking out of its body, this was Serenas Buddy, Systemic Dagger Dragon. "Sorry, I just woke up a while ago in Serenas bag and came out, smelling the food". No one could feel bad for Dagger, as this was often the case. Dagger often found Serenas bag comfortable, but no one was quite sure why. Seeing Dagger reminded Chain of what he and Serena had promised to after school. And she looked at Chain, thinking exactly the same thing as him.
