Double Drive Episode 07

The seventh episode of the anime series Battle Spirits Double Drive.
A Battler of Darkness targets Mei, to steal his 12 God-King.
== Summary ==
While Mei plays Battle Spirits with some kids, Eto and Kinoto search for information on the remaining 12 God-Kings. Their search is proving futile, until a mysterious hooded man gets their attention.
As the group heads out on their ship, Eto reports what they learned. Namely, about a shrine which might be connected to the 12 God-Kings. Shunta is thrilled, and wants to head to the shrine. While Eto and Kinoto are both skeptical, as Eto never heard of it before, Shunta points out that they don't have any other leads, and won't know if there's anything there if they don't give it a try.
After heading through a narrow route, they finally arrive at a clearing. It looks like a dead end, but Mei notices two paths. As the ship can't fit any further, Shunta and Yoku disembark, to go by foot. The two quickly start to bicker over which path to take, and ultimately split up.
Shunta soon finds himself stuck, as the way back is blocked by a giant rock the mysterious man knocked down. Yoku finds himself in a similar predicament, when the man cuts down the bridge he was trying to cross.
Back on the ship, Mei worries that Shunta and Yoku still aren't back. The man from before appears then, and reveals his identity as Zucchi of the Battlers of Darkness. He states that Shunta and Yoku aren't coming back, because he blocked their paths in order to target Mei, the weakest 12 God-King user. Zucchi is tired of being an underlings, and believes he can rise up to a leader position if he comes back with one of the 12 God-Kings.
Mei accepts, and soon, a battle begins. Yoku and Shunta both sense this, and become worried. The two eventually meet up with one another again. When Yoku finds out that Shunta's path is only blocked by a rock, he realizes he may be able to get passed that. Shunta is able to propel him up to the top, and he pulls Shunta up as well using his scarf. The two rush back to the battlefield, just in time to encourage Mei in a rough spot.
Mei soon draws his 12 God-King. Knowing that he has to win, and not lose Glorious-Sheep again, he's able to ignore Zucchi's mock cries for sympathy. After finally activating the Seal effect, which prevents Glorious-Sheep from being blocked, Mei wins the battle.
