Disclaimer: This story is a copyright from me. I also may have used other plots from other authors. Almost all characters, objects, names, places, powers, moves, events, plots and weapons are not original worked. They were already made from other manga, anime and cartoon stories. They are also already copyrights that I do not own. This story is an anime story. P.S. This story is also a crossover of other anime/cartoon stories like Naruto Shippuden, Bleach, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, Sonic X plus Sonic video game/comic history and characters, Danny Phantom, FullMetal Alchemist, Sailor Moon, Pokémon and others more like Death Note. I am borrowing/using Erika Aoyama and Mew Erika from Redwallfan2000 from Fan as one of the other characters in this story. Ichigo Momomiya is 16 (at the start of V1, V2 and V3) years old than 12-13 like in the anime/manga. This is not also a copy of either any "Dragon knight" or "Dragon Knights" stories, but it's weird that I never heard of them until now. It is my idea, even if the names of it are weird. Some characters will have, sometimes, a short written name. Note: Most Duel Monster card names will be in their English names. Also, most cards effects are change into their anime version.
Hello Readers… AND WELCOME TO THE FIRST DKR MOVIE! Now… How many of you have played the most FRUSTRATING and yet amazing story second to Yu-Gi-Oh! Forbidden Memories in both, Reshef of Destruction. I won't deny it; this game is HARD but I enjoyed the story and I decided to do a movie-like Fanfic story within the DKR Story. My original plan was Anbuis' Revenge from Pyramid of Light… but meh, maybe in the future if you guys want it (Tell me in your Reviews or PMs please). At any rate, this movie is an adaption of the game but MAJOR CHANGES, especially on the characters, the duels and of course, you as the player. Huge note, Ichigo will fill the shoes of the player character with many changes as the duels will rotate between Yugi, Jonouchi and Ichigo. And who knows, cameos will jump in too, heh heh. Now let's get started shall we!
ORIGINALLY, this first movie would be an original story and was going to be based on "The Return of Anubis" with the villain of Pyramid of Light, Anubis, revived by most likely Dark Leader Dragon *COUGH* Or another force *COUGH* and seek his revenge against Atem with a servant who uses the Horus monsters so it would be a duel between this person against both Ichigo (Love Dragons being the LV) and Kaiba (for the stronger dragons). The idea was scrapped at the time being but if any of you want this to happen, let me know and I'll see what I can do for the next original movie (in the future and not after this one).
I will be straight: These are Canon to the DKR Storyline. Yea… it's like a game for you guys to figure out where in the timeline of each movie they take place. Go on, amazed me where each one of these Movies fall under the timeline when they are released during the time of a released or currently continued Volume of DKR. If you guess, you might win a prize.
Another note: This is my version of the game so many dialogue, duels, and events WILL change to suit the story/timeline of DKR. Also it would be near impossible to get a 100% copy of the dialogue of the story and also, it would be too much for my kind of style and the dialogue wouldn't make sense for the story of Dragon Knight Reborn.
ANOTHER NOTE: No Commercial Breaks. No need for them in Movies. Let me know if that's fine?
WARNING: THIS HOLDS SPOILERS TO FUTURE EVENTS IN VOLUME 3 SO YOU WERE WARNED! Also the Movie is within the timeline of Volume 3 after the events of Chapter/Episode 24.
P.S. Instead of the traditional Opening and Ending like the Volumes, the DKR Movies will have a Theme for each Chapter/Part and obviously the same. I do not own the song used in this fanfic; they belong to the artist/group.
Intro: The Earth... is a great place where humanity and all other creatures live and learn to evolve little by little, but this great world has Darkness in it too. Evil beings who wish to conquer this world and everyone.
Only one being stood against them to show everyone the power of light and hope, but this great mythical dragon wasn't able to stop them. He gave his powers and hope to a human that was known by his name, the Dragon Knight!
Before this hero also met his end, he gave the legendary Dragon Sword and his hopes and dreams to the next knight, his youngest son who is destined to become a legend by the side of those he cares deeply about. This hero... is the Hero of Light, the Dragon Knight of Light!
Flames consume around what it could be describe as a tablet of a strange being. Slowly, from that tablet, emerge a gigantic creature, giant coated in strange ancient-like golden armor with 5 floating pillars over its head as three orbs of energy (red, blue and yellow) glow fiercely up to the sky.
Across the world, in Domino City, three cards glow in respond of those orbs. The 3 Egyptian Gods, the mightiest and most powerful cards in all of Duel Monsters, began to feel a great pain as the orbs began draining the color out of the cards until they were nothing more but black and white and soon turned into stone.
At that time, 7 lights shine within almost one point of the world shot up and scattered across the world.
The flames continue to consume as the mysterious, golem-like creature became more visible if not having a physical body, fully restore to live. And he was not alone as a man with long white haired, tied up in a ponytail, wearing a red, turtle neck shirt and an eyepatch over his left eye while his right was okay, blue-grey eye. The man stares over the gigantic golem-like creature, bowing to him.
''You will soon return in your full form.'' The man spoke towards the giant monster, smirking with pleased before laughing. ''Soon, Dark Being, you will destroy the world. WAHAHAHAHAHA!''
The monster's eyes glow an haunting blue color silently as its orbs glow brighter fueling its power.

Movie 1: Part 1: The Rise of the Dark Being!
It was a beautiful morning in Domino City as a certain red cherry head girl, purring in her sleep, began to stir happily.
"NYA!'' Ichigo Momomiya rose up, smiling at the bright sunlight of today's sunny day. ''What a beautiful day!''
Ichigo stretches her arms, yawning as she rushes to the bathroom. She immediately went to look at her messy bed hair, yawning as she begins brushing her teeth. After that, she removes her pajamas and walks onto the shower, warm water pouring over her. She remained for about 5 minutes.
''My name is Ichigo Momomiya, still 16 years old for a month left… and also I'm Mew Ichigo. I guess being a Mew Mew is the weirdest part about me… it really isn't after I get used to it.'' Ichigo began telling her tale, getting off the shower, wrapping herself in a towel as she rushes to her wardrobe to try to find something to wear today.
After 10 minutes, she comes out wearing a cute pink top with a red ribbon attached, black skirt, long white/pink striped socks, black shoes and a pink hoodie. She smiles at herself on the mirror, grabbing her favorite red ribbons and bell necklace, tying them in their place. As she did that, she looked at her dress table and sees her Mew Pendant Necklace and her deck inside its Deck Holder.
''That would be Duel Monsters that's weird. A simple card game and made everyone across the world to really enjoy playing it.'' Ichigo states, blushing at the thought she liked a game full of stuff like strategy and fantasy. Normally she wouldn't be the type to like this kind of thing but a certain tricolor, weird hairstyle yet wonderful boy made her fall in love with this game and how wonderful it was. It even helped her meet the deck of cards she can put her trust in.
''Ever since I met Yugi-kun, I began to love this game for how amazing and heartwarming it is to me. And that's when I met the Love Dragons. They may be cards to anyone… but to me, they mean more to me.'' The red cherry head adds giggling at her cards… until she frowned a bit recalling the last duel she was in and it involved a strong female duelist who beaten her down hard.
''If you ever wish to be a real duelist, then you better be stronger than the best. Otherwise, you'll never reach my level.'' The words of Mai Kujaku echo in Ichigo's head, not able to ever forget what she said. ''Mai's words… I haven't forgotten them.''
Ichigo sighs, not sure if she'll be a decent duelist like Mai or the others but still, she just wishes to duel for fun like how Yugi taught her.
Ichigo makes a small smile thinking of the tricolor head, her heroic Dragon Knight. All of this, her current life, was all thanks to meeting that guy. Just his very presence brought her more happiness than anything else and she's still thankful... but that also brought problems most of which is her feelings for him. She wouldn't be in love for anyone else except for Masaya Aoyama but Yugi did that because of how much he wants to protect the hope and smiles she has. Still, it doesn't change how she feels for him and want to express those feelings back... but would he express them back?
She shakes off those feelings as she had more important stuff to worry about. She grabs her necklace, wearing it around her neck and declares energetic.''Okay… TODAY WILL BE A GREAT DAY NYA! No work means more free time for me Nya!''
Ichigo giggles at the thought, happy that after so much overtime that Ryou gave her time-off. Now she can do whatever she wants. Ichigo hums to herself, doing her bed as she tried to think what she should do in her break. Maybe go to the mall, hang out with her Kaa-san, go watch TV? The beach? She wasn't sure but Ichigo knew she can do anything she wants now.
Suddenly a bang was heard. Ichigo startled, turning to her window. She walks over to her window broach just as a pebble suddenly hits the window, not breaking it but surprising her. ''The heck Nya?!''
''HEY, MOMOMIYA!'' A familiar voice shouted from down below. Ichigo looks down and sees the blond-headed Katsuya Jonouchi, waving up to her. He was wearing his blue school outfit, waving at Ichigo. The girl blinks confused, opening the window as she looks down at him pretty confused he was here. ''What is it Jonouchi?''
''Mind if we talk downstairs?'' Jonouchi asks her nicely, actually wanting to talk to her.
The girl blinks, not sure what he's getting at with this but he didn't seemed like this was a trap. ''… Sure.''
Jonouchi nods as he walks over the front door. Ichigo sighs, closing the window as she finishes doing her bed and then went downstairs to the front door. After she lets him in, Jonouchi explains the reason he came to see her in the living room.
''Duel Express?'' Ichigo questioned never hearing about it before. Jonouchi nods smiling excited to even tell her but hopefully it's worth it for her. ''One of the things Kaiba made that is actually awesome. You duel inside a train that starts from the station and then to the Egyptian Exhibition inside the museum. They're going to have a tournament for the first day.''
Ichigo eyes him, astonished that a man who loves his own face would create something silly like this.
''That actually… sounds dumb but cool. I'm in Nya!'' She says, smiling a bit to have some stupid fun as she adds. ''But for a bit, I have a few days off to enjoy for once.''
''Yea, yea, but I mean what I said; the Duel Express will test your skills as a duelist at the fullest! And my deck is good than ready to beat anyone.'' Jonouchi told her, really determine to show off his dueling skills.
Ichigo sweat drops that he's this excited. She sighs, thinking it's cool and says. ''… Fair enough. Okay, I'll try it… BUT A LITTLE! I got a day full of my own relaxation.''
Jonouchi accepts her terms, not upset. He then says excitedly. ''Alright! Let's go see Yugi. And he better not say he's busy or whatever because today, I will beat the Duel Express!''
Ichigo rolls her eyes, unbelievable that he can act like a kid. That's when she realized that Yugi wasn't with him and he loves dueling more. Where could he be?
''Jonouchi-kun? Ichigo-kun?'' A voice suddenly speaks from the door entrance. The pigtail girl blushes, knowing that voice as she pushes Jonouchi out of her way and sees him. His purple-eyes, his school outfit, his weird hairstyle and tricolors. She smiles, purring happily. ''Yugi-kun Nya!''
Yugi Mutou turns to Ichigo and tries to form a small smile, until he sweat drops as he realized he was in Ichigo's home. Jonouchi groans, giving the girl a glare before turning to his best friend and tells him slightly serious. ''About time Yugi. Ready for the tournament.''
''I wish I was because everything is turning horrible.'' Yugi responds with a concerning, grim expression. Jonouchi and Ichigo blink at this as she asks puzzled. ''Horrible Nya?''
Yugi lowers his eyes, narrowing them with worry. Ichigo still was off as she slowly realized something was missing. Not the Dragon Sword, not his school jacket, not his deck…; that's when it hit her that the golden puzzle he wears wasn't around his neck.
''They're gone; Atem and the Millennium Puzzle… are gone!'' The tricolor head reveals, shocking the two. ''GONE?!''
Yugi wasn't sure how it could be gone. He would be able to sense when someone would approach the Millennium Puzzle or himself but he knew for certain none were. And if by chance it did happen, he would be able to sense Atem but he can't even track him or know where his spirit or the puzzle are.
''When I woke up this morning, it was gone. I can't even sense Atem's aura anywhere. And also-'' Yugi explains as he pulls out his deck and takes out three cards, revealing to be the God Cards but they weren't actual Duel Monster cards now. The two eye them and widen their eyes at this.
''The Egyptian God Cards… THEY'VE BEEN TURNED TO STONE?!'' Jonouchi utters in terror, not thinking such a thing could happen.
''So… not only is the Millennium Puzzle gone but Yugi's super god monsters are fossilized?'' Ichigo asks just to be certain that's the main problem. Yugi nods, admitting this is far stranger that has ever happened before. ''Yea, I'm just as surprised right now.''
Jonouchi crossed his arms, not liking this one bit. Ichigo hums, certain that this feels much like a mystery as she questions. ''What about the Dragon Sword?''
Yugi pulls out his golden hilt sword, confirming it as he swings it swiftly, even making Jonouchi to back away by the fear of getting cut by it. The purple eyes young man knew his sword was fine as he still had the overwhelming energy of a Dragon Knight within him, in addition to Yin-Yang Dragon as the twin-headed dragon was still present inside of him.
''Still the same with no changes, and so are my powers.'' Yugi states, sheathing his sword back. Ichigo smiles, relief of the news. He nods, but it doesn't change the subject adding. ''At least that's one good thing. I don't know why the puzzle is missing or why the gods are stone though. Something is wrong with all of this.''
Ichigo nods firmly as if something evil is alluring out there. Jonouchi also nods firmly, not having a clue what or who is doing this.
''I need to find out. I have a feeling whatever it is might harm others or the world and I won't take a chance with it.'' Yugi made his decision, needing to find the Millennium Puzzle and restore the Egyptian Gods. Not just for that but for his friend. Atem was always there for him when he needed it. He couldn't let whatever took him do any harm to one of his dearest friend. Or worst if whoever took the Millennium Puzzle was Dark Leader Dragon, plotting something menacing. ''I need to find our friend.''
''…'' Jonouchi and Ichigo were silent, not sure what to say at first until the blond-headed man made up his mind, knowing it was the right thing. ''Then I got your back Yugi.''
Yugi startles by his friend's request, not exactly asking if any would join him with a small smile. ''Jonouchi-kun. You don't have to.''
''I know, but best friends stick together until the very end!'' Jonouchi determinately replies, not going to let his best friend go into the unknown without knowing he had someone watching his behind when he's swinging his sword to the front. ''That's why we have each other's back!''
Yugi smiles, somewhat glad he wasn't going to do this alone. He nods firmly, thanking him. ''Yep! Thank you, Jonouchi-kun.''
Jonouchi grins as Ichigo eyes them suspiciously. It's naturally that he would want to go with Yugi into that mission. She felt somewhat envious about it, having a jealous-like expression written over her face.
''Wait, Jonouchi is okay as backup… but I really think you two still need some more help.'' Ichigo states calmly as Jonouchi gives him a look. She blushes nervously, her cheeks rosy as she adds with a shy tone. ''… That and I got time to help you.''
Jonouchi narrows his eyes, now being jealous as Yugi sweat drops at him while also being surprised about Ichigo's offer.
''Really Ichigo-kun?'' The tricolor head asks, not wanting to bother her in her time off. He knows Ichigo better than anyone at this point, always respecting her resting days when she's not working and dealing with Ryou, Mint or Jonouchi.
The red cherry head nodded still blushing, feeling the need to help the one person who has helped her more than once finding the reason to help him.
''… You saved Masaya-kun and myself in the battle against Deep Blue. There's no way I can turn my back to the special person in my life ever again.'' Ichigo told him, placing her left arm over her chest. She didn't know how to thank him for saving Masaya and even helping her stop Deep Blue. This was the best way to thank him and maybe make him see how strong she has gotten too.
Yugi blushes a little, feeling the same as he wouldn't have come this far without her. It was thanks to Ichigo that he got this far as a Dragon Knight. He tells her his reasons. ''Ichigo-kun, I owe you a lot more too. I promise I'll owe you back once I find our dearest friend. Besides Jonouchi-kun and you too.''
Ichigo giggles as Jonouchi blushes a bit, both knowing that Yugi cares a lot for Atem like an older brother he couldn't have.
''Can we go?'' Jonouchi asks, still wanting to head to the Duel Express as quickly as possible after they find Atem and the Millennium Puzzle. Yugi startles up nodding. ''Um good idea! I should tell Anzu and the others anyway.''
Ichigo nods firmly, agreeing with a purr. ''Good idea Nya! Let's go!''
The tricolor head nods as the three put on their footwear and headed out. The red cherry head gasps, rushing up to her room as the two boys waited. She sees her deck holder and grabs it with her cards inside; having a feeling she'll need them. She also spots a standard Duel Disk that the redhead pigtail manage to buy after a discount; a very good one.
Ichigo smiles grabbing and putting on the Duel Disk before rushing back down and locks the door behind her as the three resume heading out.
Ichigo runs along with them, thinking that she's too kind with Yugi to agree with this. Maybe it's the fact that his kindness is like hypnosis or something like that.
They arrived at the clock tower in the middle of Domino where Anzu was waiting for the group. She yawns, has been training on her dancing. She then sees Yugi running with Jonouchi and Ichigo behind him. She smiles, waving at them.''Hey guys, ready for the Duel Express? Shouldn't you guys be heading out now?''
The three reach her as Jonouchi was the first to say.''We were until the bad news.''
''Bad news?'' Anzu questioned dismay as Yugi sighs, telling her the reasons why. Anzu heard the story and widens her eyes at what he told her especially about Atem. ''WHAT?! The Millennium Puzzle disappeared along with Atem and the God Cards are turned to stone! How did that happened?''
Yugi lowers his eyes, not sure as he says. ''Not sure and that's the part that's bothering me.''
''And that's why we're going to fix this mess like a piece of cake.'' Jonouchi states firmly, confident that he can save the day. Ichigo sweat drops, giving him a narrowing glance. ''Piece of cake huh?''
Anzu sighs at this too as Yugi sweat drops, until he felt like someone was watching them.
''That may be much harder than you expect my friends.'' A voice suddenly spoke, startling everyone but mostly Ichigo and Jonouchi who yelled. ''AAH!''
Yugi and Anzu sweat drop as both Ichigo and Jonouchi blush, refusing to look at the other. The four turns and watch as someone walks out from behind a tree. They knew immediately who she was.
''Ishizu-san!'' Anzu states surprised as it was the Egyptian woman Ishizu Ishtar, walking forward to them as she bows. Yugi was surprised that she was here at a time like this.
Ichigo blink, actually forgot about her until she snaps her fingers, stating smiling. ''Oh right, I remember you Nya! We met a lot of times.''
The others sweat drops as Ishizu just smiles softly, actually surprised as well.
''Yea… why are you here?'' Jonouchi asks, still startled. Ishizu coughs, nodding as she notices as she expected that Yugi's Millennium Puzzle isn't with him.
''It seems I arrived in time and my suspicious were correct.'' Ishizu utters, shocking the group as if she knew what has happened. Yugi asks her. ''Suspicious? So you know what happen to my Millennium Puzzle Ishizu-kun?''
Ishizu nods softly, fearing this day would eventually arrived, saying. ''Indeed I do Yugi-san. What I have feared the most is coming to fruition. Which is why I need you and your friends' help once again.''
''What do you mean Nya?'' Ichigo asks puzzled by what this is even going on. Ishizu nods, certain she must tell them the reason she arrived.
''Certainly. Allow me to explain myself as I came this far to let you all know.'' She starts saying, moving her left arm over her neck and shows the group. Yugi stares it and realizes that her Millennium Necklace was missing. She nods, stating further. ''As you see, my Millennium Necklace has also disappeared which all points out to one possible entity: Reshef the Dark Being.''
Anzu, Jonouchi and Ichigo were left pretty off by what she said. Yugi, however, felt a sense of familiar as he heard that name before. He wasn't the only as deep inside of his conscious, the twin-headed dragons Yin-Yang Dragon felt the same as their eyes glow red.
''Reshef? I remember that name from before.'' Yugi muttered, certain he recalled that name before but he can't remember from where or when.
''I understand this is sudden and confusing. However, the world is in grave peril.'' Ishizu reveals to the group, now shocking them by what she said. ''Not only has our Millennium Items disappeared but so has all the others and this is most likely due to Reshef's resurrection.''
Ichigo gulps, never liking the fact that the world is always in danger but at the same time relief she's still Mew Ichigo to fight this evil.
''Reshef is a great evil god who was sealed away millennium ago thanks to the Nameless Pharaoh and the Egyptian Gods when he attempted to destroy the world. His great evil and powers were massive that none could stop him except the combine power of Osiris, Obelisk and Ra.'' Ishizu reveals a story to the group, one she read among the tablets of the Nameless Pharaoh as it told how he once had to overcome a being of pure evil similar to Zorc Necrophades and managed to seal the evil spirit into a stone tablet thanks to his Egyptian Gods… but there was also a prophecy within the tablet that one day this same Dark Being would emerge from its prison. ''However it seems someone has awakened this god from his deep slumber and found a way to use the very gods who stopped him by absorbing their powers into him as a fusion ritual.''
Yugi stared unease, aware of this story when he asked Ishizu about letting him read the ancient tablets. The part that still leaves him suspicious is who would release this evil. He pulls out his stoned Egyptian Gods Cards and shows them to Ishizu. She observes them and nods with worry about the results.
''To see the Egyptian God Cards into stone only means that their mighty powers were stolen from that ritual. And now drained of their mystical energies, the mighty gods of Egypt transformed into stone, powerless.'' Ishizu confirms her even greater worries.
''Doesn't explain why Yugi-kun's puzzle is gone too Nya.'' Ichigo questions, not getting the part of Yugi's puzzle thing vanishing.
Yugi nods and then widens his eyes as that was the reason. He then tells the red cherry head. ''The Millennium Items have the power to restore the Egyptian Gods' powers Ichigo-kun. So this was all Reshef's doing to prevent getting sealed away again?''
Ishizu nods to that as she explains. ''Indeed so Yugi-san. Thanks to his resurrection, Reshef would need all the Millennium Items to prevent that but the Pharaoh placed a spell if this would ever happen; scattering the items away from Reshef's reach, including the Millennium Puzzle.''
''Stupid plan on the Pharaoh's idea.'' Jonouchi mutters as Ichigo and Anzu overheard and both slapped him across the back head.
''OUCH!'' Jonouchi yells before Ichigo kicks him in the nuts and he dropped weakened, groaning in pain silently. Yugi sweat drops at this as did Ishizu. Anzu then asks with a concerning look. ''So what can we do?''
''Stopping Reshef the Dark Being can only happen with the help of the Egyptian Gods.'' Ishizu reminds what the mission is as Yugi nods, affirming it. ''So we need to find the Millennium Items to regain their powers.''
''Since that is the only way, no doubt Reshef will have minions he can control to do his bidding to get them before us.'' Ishizu adds fearing that will most likely happen. Just the thought of the kind of gathers Reshef got made her very worry and if they fail… then the whole world will perish. ''I know this is much but I need your help to accomplish this task. If we do not stop Reshef before his strength fully restores, the world will be shrouded in perpetual darkness.''
The others were silent as they've heard and seen this almost happen a few times. Yugi took a calm breath, forming a small smile as he wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.
''I can't help but feel excited since I'm not going to let allow this to happen.'' Yugi says with a confident, serious expression. He turns to the others as Jonouchi nods.
''What about you Ichigo-kun?'' The tricolor head asks as Ichigo hums at first, thinking calmly. She didn't take less than 5 seconds before she says. ''Either way, this Reshef guy will destroy or rule the world or whatever… SO I'M IN NYA! Let's stop this Dark Being before he ruins my time off!''
Yugi smirks a little, knowing she would say that while watching how energetic she gotten. That's the Ichigo he always wants to see.
''I knew you'd say that. Besides, I have to find Atem and my puzzle again. And I wouldn't have had the best person to help me find them.'' Yugi admits smiling. Ichigo blushes red, being teased by his words. She still had her hopes that maybe they could be more than friends but she'll let him wait when he makes the first move… hopefully soon.
Jonouchi gives the red cherry head a glare, knowing the cat girl's vixen-trick-of-love-making and he's not going to let that happen. He states firm with his arms crossed over. ''Then I got your back too Yugi. After all, that's the friendship of best buds!''
Yugi nods on that, glad to have another person he can count on although he felt somewhat unease by how Jonouchi is giving a look at Ichigo.
''That and I am the most powerful duelist in the world.'' The blond-headed man adds with a confident smirk, praising himself in being one of the best duelists. Ichigo and Anzu sweat dropped at that.
''Then we're in, Ishizu-kun.'' Yugi made his choice as Ishizu smiles to hear that, bowing. ''Thank you Yugi-san, everyone.''
Yugi nods firmly, knowing he has to find his friend, restore God Cards and stop this evil entity. This isn't a typical problem for him to take the chance. Jonouchi felt the same. Ichigo felt somewhat nervous since her luck on dueling hasn't been that perfect.
''We must first find the Millennium Items in order to restore the Egyptian Gods' powers again.'' Ishizu reminds the group what must be done. They nod as Anzu asks curious. ''Then where should we start?''
Ishizu breathes calmly, closing her eyes as she's somewhat focusing. She soon says, reopening her eyes. ''I have a strong connection with the Millennium Items due to my gravekeepers' bloodline. I can sense the faint pulse of any item. As of right now, I can sense my Millennium Necklace inside the Domino Museum, deep in the Egyptian Exhibition.''
Jonouchi really wanted to giggle at this since the only way to get to the Domino Museum during this time is through the train and lucky for him today was presenting by the Duel Express tournament.
''Easy, let's go.'' He states sounding a little too excited.
''Then it would be a wise idea if I stay back. I can handle myself not to mention I must have complete concentration in order to search for the other Millennium Items.'' Ishizu suggests, wishing to search for the other items alone than to get in the way.
''Good point.'' Jonouchi said, still excited about going. Yugi nods to that, not wanting Ishizu to be targeted either and also if by chance she does, he'll save her with little to no effort with his Dragon Knight's abilities.
''Also, Yugi-san, be aware that this spell the Pharaoh placed on the Millennium Items also activated the Guardians of the Millennium Items, gravekeepers like myself who sworn to protect the Millennium Items when only Reshef returns.'' Ishizu suddenly warns the tricolor head, surprising him that there are is such thing as Guardians of the Millennium Items. ''The only way to earn the items is by dueling them and defeating them.''
Jonouchi just nods, not caring about the extra work they'll be doing as long as he does it looking awesome. He states almost overconfident manly. ''Easy, I'm the strongest duelist in the world and there's too much riding on this for me to lose.''
Ichigo sighs now worried if he'll be acting like a moron along this hopefully short adventure.
Yugi knew this mission would take their full strength if not their strongest desire to prevent this Dark Being from ever being released. He turns to both the two who he can trust to come along and tells Ishizu with a brave, smiling expression. ''Jonouchi-kun, Ichigo-kun and I will win back the items, no matter what.''
Ishizu smiled, thankful by the fact that Yugi is beyond what a normal human would ask for. It's that other reason why he was the one to be the container for the Nameless Pharaoh and that same reason he became something more through it.
''Thank you all. I know what I ask is a great imposition… but your strong hearts and I have no one else to turn into, I know we shall prevail.'' She thanks them all as Ichigo purrs blushing. Yugi smiled, adding. ''Believe in us again and we'll make a miracle happen again and again.''
''You bet Nya! We'll win for sure!'' Ichigo adds even more energetic, raising her arms up high. Jonouchi sweat drops at her over-commitment, saying. ''Then… we can get to the exhibit through the Duel Express.''
Ichigo nods, pointing her finger at where she thought would be the train station. ''Then let's go Nya!''
Yugi nods, checking his pockets to confirm he had everything until he forms a nervous smile, laughing with a cough-up tone. ''Haha…''
Jonouchi and Ichigo turn to see him worrying as Anzu sighs upset, asking with narrow eyes. ''Yugi, you forgot them didn't you?''
''Yea, I forgot the passes.'' Yugi responds honestly, sweating of embarrassing.
''WHAT?!'' Jonouchi reacts of terror, not believing what he heard. Ichigo backs away from him to Yugi's side as the tricolor head tries to calm him down, slightly waving his arms a bit. ''Don't worry; Kaiba-kun has them.''
A vein grew angrily across Jonouchi's left forehead, not believing that the tickets are with his most hated guy he doesn't like at all. Yugi notices it and regrets mention that, trying to continue. ''… Or Mokuba-kun. Guess we'll find out by going to KaibaCorp.''
''Darn it! But let's not tell that bastard about our important mission.'' Jonouchi gives up, knowing he had no choice but wished to avoid telling that jerk about this. Ichigo agrees immediately, still furious towards him and how he saved her pen girlfriend Kisara who she later learned is the reincarnation of a girl with the same name and even appearance… and abilities… but not the memories. ''… Agree Nya.''
''Then good luck my friends.'' Ishizu wished them luck on this task as Anzu tells them smiling. ''I'll watch over Ishizu-san and warn the others of what's going on. We all should be ready for the worst.''
''Thanks Anzu-kun. We'll be back soon.'' Yugi replies, promising on his words. Anzu sighs, hoping he does without getting hurt, asking of him. ''You better. And be safe, bring Atem back.''
Yugi nods firmly, prepare to keep that promise no matter what it took with no sacrifices.
''And this shouldn't take long too Nya. After all, I got a break to enjoy!'' Ichigo reminds everyone with a serious face. Jonouchi groans at that with Yugi nodding as they headed out. Anzu watched them leave, hoping they don't get in trouble.
Ishizu watches the three leave, holding her hands together in a pray hand pose and prays mentally. ''I can only pray for the Gods that you all be careful in this journey. They are our hope now.''
The three walked towards KaibaCorp, unaware that they were being watched by not just a strange masked man, but a familiar dark clad armored knight with red eyes and a large claymore-like sword.
''This is most interesting. My lord should know of this immediately.'' Dark General Knight says floating over the sky, undetectable by Yugi's senses as he vanishes instantly, going to let his master the Dark Lord be aware of this possibility unintended new evil and their chance to rule the world and to destroy the Dragon Knight.
Yugi pauses, turning around as he just missed the dark general. He eyes the sky, narrowing his eyes as he turns back and follows Ichigo and Jonouchi.
''I hope Kaiba-Baka is in a good mood Nya.'' Ichigo hopes since she doesn't want to deal with that man and how stubborn he is almost 100% of the time.
The three arrived at KaibaCorp and oddly enough there was the Grinch-Scrooge of Seto Kaiba along with his decent and nice younger brother Mokuba Kaiba, both being confronted by someone the three, mostly Yugi, knew too well.
''There you are, Seto Kaiba! I knew you would be here.'' The intelligent yet very young American girl, Rebecca Hopkins, spoke serious adjusting his glasses glaring at Seto. He just stood there, not saying a word just looking at her back.
''That's…'' Jonouchi utters, sweat dropping as Yugi sighs, blushing nervously to think his day got even weirder.
''Rebecca-san, what are you doing here?'' Mokuba asks startled that she just showed up right behind them and tries to start an argument with his older brother. Rebecca smiled seeing him, greeting him. ''Oh Mokuba-san, hello! I'm sorry to be bothering you but I came here to settle an unfinished business with your brother.''
Mokuba gulps, having a dark feeling what this might be about.
Rebecca glares towards the Blue-Eyes duelist, regretting to have never done this before but she had no time with university in her plate… but now she can't wait no more.
''You're the one who tore up Yugi's grandfather's card. You tore up his Blue-Eyes White Dragon, the fourth copy of the legendary White Dragon!'' Rebecca accuses with a glare at him. Mokuba now was more than worried now.
''…'' Kaiba, not responding, actually looked the other way and saw Yugi, just eyeing him only. Yugi sweat drops, guessing he's just imagining him of pure need to defeat him. Kaiba groans, assuming his mind is playing games with him as he's yet to find a way to defeat Yugi with the pride he has, working too many hours in a strategy to beat him and has failed each one so far.
''Oh… you knew that?'' Mokuba mutters, hoping she never learned that truth. He made research for Seto when they were trying to find that fourth Blue-Eyes White Dragon that it belonged to Yugi's grandfather but he wasn't aware that it actually belongs to someone, Rebecca's grandfather.
''My grandfather gave that card to his closest friend from the brink of death, Mutou-san.'' Rebecca states as she found it touching after learning the truth… but then she learned the truth about how her grandfather's Blue-Eyes was torn apart. It was all because of the man before her, still pointing her finger at him. ''That Blue-Eyes White Dragon was the symbol of their friendship, but you tore it up! I refused to let you get away with that for this long!''
Mokuba frowns, wishing it wasn't true but Seto did do it. He was a different man than the one he is now and he was cruel back then. Kaiba didn't say a word, not admitting that it was his fault or not but this has started to drain time on his busy schedule.
''So what do you want me to do?'' Seto suggests, not sounding guilty but more annoyed that this little girl is bothering him. Mokuba facepalms, wishing his older brother didn't just said that.
''Nii-san, don't just say that. I can guess what Rebecca-san might want.'' The younger Kaiba sibling advised only for Rebecca to get to the point. ''And Mokuba is right. I challenge you to a duel!''
Yugi and Jonouchi didn't like the sound of that as well as Mokuba. Ichigo was more psych about it since maybe Rebecca could beat him. Seto didn't do anything until he forms a small smirk. Rebecca found that insulting, including her hands angrily as she states furious. ''I'll wipe that smirk off your face because you're facing the United States champion!''
''I already knew who you are; you don't have to tell me twice.'' Seto finally responds, not imitated by her small threats especially her request for a duel. That part felt like a waste of his time, answering. ''At any rate, a champion from the US, no, a duelist of your level, I can defeat blindfolded.''
Rebecca widens her eyes as Mokuba took a step back from his brother. Jonouchi gulps, fearing that this argument would no doubt break man… unless it was Kaiba.
''At my level?! Are you making fun of me?!'' Rebecca protested even more insulted now by how he's treating her duelist level.
Seto scoffs at her assumption that he's making fun of her; he wasn't even trying to only saying what he knows is right.
''No, I'm just telling you the truth. Your skills are nothing but a joke, but if you still insist on challenging me…'' Kaiba begins to say as he slightly looks behind her, assuming he's still staring at the mental image of Yugi that his conscious might be playing with him only to notice him blinking confusing, realizing that's the actual Yugi since Seto would never imagine his rival with the idiot of a sidekick and the pigtail girl. Kaiba was more than glad he's not going crazy as he sees what he needed to get rid of this nuisance.
Kaiba smirks, causing Rebecca somewhat unease as well as Mokuba. The older Kaiba declares with the same sinister smirk. ''I have a better idea. Duel against Yugi.''
Yugi widens his eyes as did Rebecca who turned and saw the tricolor head. She was startled, her cheeks red, to see him there at a time like this. Ichigo glares at Kaiba, not believing he would use Yugi like that.
''If you can beat him, I'll duel you.'' Seto wagers still overconfident, certain she would never be able to beat Yugi.
Rebecca still stares startled that Yugi was here at a time like this. ''Yugi-kun?''
''Um hi Rebecca-kun.'' Yugi replies with an embarrass expression. Rebecca narrows his eyes down, not so thrill about the part to duel the person she likes a lot but she can't turn her back on challenging that man. Yugi notices her unease look, telling her nicely. ''I know you're upset, but there's no point attacking Kaiba-kun.''
Rebecca knew he meant well, but there was more to this than just simple revenge.
''Yugi-kun… I'm not challenging Kaiba because I'm angry. I want to duel him to test my skills.'' She explains her other reason, causing Yugi to be slightly surprised. ''Rebecca-kun.''
Rebecca clinches her hands slightly, knowing well that almost all the best duelists in the world were from Japan while previous great duelists like Pegasus and Keith have become past memories. She's probably what little of great duelist in the US now.
Rebecca pulls out the Ties of Friendship card Yugi gave her that day and tells him with a calm expression. ''I have to prove myself as the champion of the United States. It's my duty… and the duty of connecting the friendship this card meant for our grandfathers.''
Yugi stares at her eyes, knowing she meant every word. Kaiba watched silently bore by such a speech.
''Yugi, please duel me.'' Rebecca begs him, bowing to him slightly. The purple eyes young man didn't reply at first, needed to think this carefully. Ichigo stares knowing well what Yugi's choice is.
''… Okay. I accept.'' The tricolor head accepts the challenge. Jonouchi knew Yugi wouldn't have a chance but to go through with it. Rebecca nods, happy he did accept.
Kaiba smirks, hoping his rival shows no mercy and if he loses then he'll be greatly disappointed. Ichigo didn't interfere with this duel, knowing Rebecca wants it and Yugi doesn't want to argue with her judgement.
''You two just have fun okay?'' The red cherry head asks the two nicely, hoping they would try to enjoy it. Both nod with small smiles, agreeing as they attached their Duel Disks on their arms, activating them.
Rebecca gulps a bit, actually scared seeing Yugi's relaxed and calm posture. This would be her second duel against him and since then Yugi has become so much stronger than her. It felt frightening but she still wants to give her all.
''DUEL!'' Both duelists declare, drawing their top 5 cards and commence their rematch.
Duel Screen: Yugi Mutou: 4000LP vs. Rebecca Hopkins: 4000LP
''Yugi-kun already duel Rebecca-chan before, didn't he?'' Ichigo asks Jonouchi, curious if they did which they did as he confirms. ''He did and that time he surrendered knowing it was the right thing to do at that time.''
Ichigo wonders if Yugi will let her win again. Kaiba expected Yugi to win or else.
''You can go first Rebecca-kun.'' Yugi suggests nicely as Rebecca smiles blushing, accepting to go first.
Duel Screen: Turn 1_ Yugi: 4000LP H: 5 / Rebecca: 4000LP H: 5
Rebecca took a moment to calm herself down, glaring at Yugi like any opponent as she shouts. ''Don't take me lightly just because I'm a girl Yugi! Or you'll regret it!''
Yugi stares calmly, not wishing to take her lightly.
''My turn, draw!'' Rebecca begins her turn, drawing her top card. She smiles at the hand she had as plays a card into her Spell and Trap Zone. ''I'll start by activating the spell, Polymerization!''
Jonouchi panics as Ichigo gulps not expecting that play this quick.
''With this, I fuse both Marie the Fallen One and The Forgiving Maiden!'' Rebecca stated fusing her two Fairy-Type monsters. The two monsters appeared as they mix together in the Fusion Portal. Her Duel Disk opens up the Extra Deck as Rebecca calls upon. ''Fusion Summon! Oppressed the evil, St. Joan!''
From the portal emerge an elegant knight swordswoman on the field, wielding her holy sword with both hands.
St. Joan Lvl 7 ATK: 2800 DEF: 2000
''Right off the bat she summoned a powerful monster.'' Mokuba stated amazed smiling. Kaiba watches silently, glaring only.
''I set 2 cards facedown.'' Rebecca finishes her turn setting 2 Spell/Trap facedown cards behind her monster. ''Turn end.''
Duel Screen: Turn 2_ Yugi: 4000LP H: 5 / Rebecca: 4000LP H: 1
Yugi stares focus as he could see the determined stare in Rebecca's eyes. She was more serious than she ever was since their first duel. She could feel her aura; fiery up with a passion to win.
''Now come at me with everything you have, Yugi-kun!'' Rebecca asks of him serious, not going to accept any less. Yugi stares silent at first before finally nodding. ''… Alright.''
Ichigo watches, knowing Yugi won't be holding back punches.
''My turn, draw!'' Yugi declares drawing his top card swiftly. He eyes it smiling.
''When my opponent controls a monster and I don't, I can Special Summon Lord Gaia the Fierce Knight!'' Yugi summons as the red, dark blue clad armor Gaia appears floating in midair wielding twin dark red lancer, long blond hair with a long purple cape and glowing blue eyes.
Lord Gaia the Fierce Knight Lvl 7 ATK: 2300 DEF: 2000
''Next I activate the spell, Fiend's Sanctuary! I can now Special Summon a Fiend Metal Token to my field.'' Yugi continues by playing the card Kaiba gave him or rather Atem to beat the Winged God Dragon of Ra. A metal silver colored slime-like, faceless being in the humanoid shape of a small fiend appears on his field.
Fiend Metal Token Lvl 1 ATK: 0 DEF: 0
''I release my token to Tribute Summon Curse of Dragonfire!'' Yugi calls upon as the token vanishes as a burst of flames erupt as a monster that resembles Curse of Dragon appears but the dragon was very different with red, burning scales and yellowish eyes erupt in flame-like aura.
Curse of Dragonfire Lvl 5 ATK: 2000 DEF: 1500
''I activate Curse of Dragonfire's effect! I can perform a Fusion Summon with itself and another monster I control which is Lord Gaia.'' Yugi announces as Dragonfire surrounds itself and Lord Giga in flames. Ichigo watches this surprised as states remembering something similar. ''It's like Judai-kun's Contact Fusion.''
Both Lord Giga and Dragonfire within the flames cross within each other, fusing into one now within the fusion portal.
''Fusion Summon! Erupt through the soaring skies, Sky Galloping Gaia the Dragon Champion!'' Yugi summons as the evolved Curse of Dragon descends rapidly from the fusion portal, being ridden by Gaia who was also consumed by the dragon's fiery aura.
Sky Galloping Gaia the Dragon Champion Lvl 7 ATK: 2600 DEF: 2100
''When Gaia is summoned, I can add 1 Spiral Spear Strike from my Deck or Graveyard to my hand.'' Yugi explains as a card pops out from his Deck. He picks it up and plays it. ''And next I activate the Continuous Spell, Spiral Spear Strike!''
Rebecca watches still not sure how that will be of any help as her St. Joan still had more ATK.
''Battle! Go Gaia, attack St. Joan!'' Yugi, entering his Battle Phase, declares his attack as Sky Galloping Gaia first ascends up high at almost Mach speed.
''But my Joan still has more ATK than your dragon champion.'' Rebecca points out. Yugi smiles, happy she did replying. ''Not my aim. When Sky Galloping Gaia the Dragon Champion attacks, he can change the battle position of the attack target.''
Rebecca startles hearing this as she notices the fiery aura from when Gaia shot himself flying hasn't vanished, even covering her monster. The flames engulfed the field as Joan was forced into Defense Position.
The Dragon Champion spins around, instantly engulfed by flames as it charges right at Joan with its javelins.
''Soaring Spiral!'' Yugi shouts as Gaia rams his twin lances, piercing through Rebecca's monster as it exploded into flames. Rebecca braces her monster's destruction as the Soaring Dragon Champion emerges from the flames, pushing them back before floating next to its master.
''Since Sky Galloping Gaia the Dragon Champion's name becomes Gaia the Dragon Champion, the effect of Spiral Spear Strike activates.'' Yugi reveals as his Continuous Spell Card glows. ''It performs piercing damage and in addition lets me draw 2 cards and next discards 1 card in return.''
Rebecca groans as her Life Points took 600 of damage as Yugi drew his two cards and then sends a card from his hand away.
''Nice job Yugi!'' Jonouchi congrats his best buddy, knowing no one else but him could have done that kind of combo. Ichigo giggles smiling.
Rebecca pants seeing Kaiba glancing at her with such disappointment. She bit her lips, not going to lose like this adjusting her glasses.
''I'm not finished yet Yugi! Reverse Trap open, Rope of Life!'' She reveals one of her set cards opening itself, revealing a rope shooting out from the sky.
''By discarding my entire hand, I can Special Summon the monster you destroyed. And next it gains 800ATK. Revive! St. Joan!'' Rebecca shouts, discarding her hand, as her maiden descends from the rope. She stood strong as her ATK was now 3600.
St. Joan Lvl 7 ATK: 2800 DEF: 2000
Yugi admitted that was a good play, looking at his hand and sets a card behind Gaia. ''I set 1 card facedown. Turn end.''
Duel Screen: Turn 3_ Yugi: 4000LP H: 3 / Rebecca: 3400LP H: 0
Rebecca eyes serious at Yugi, knowing well he wasn't the same kid she dueled a long time ago. No, that kid was nothing compare to the young man now before her. She blushes, feeling praise from him but also she couldn't let that distract her. She had to win; she mustn't lose even to him.
''I can't lose. I can win this!'' She tells her, encouraging her. Yugi smiles also thinking of the past and no doubt certain that Rebecca wasn't the same know-it-all brat from before. She has growth.
''My turn, draw!'' Rebecca shouts drawing her top card. ''I activate Marie the Fallen One's effect, increasing my Life Points by 200 for each of my Standby Phases while she's in my Graveyard.''
Her Life Points rose to 3600. She smirks announcing. ''I activate Shadoweaver's effect in my Graveyard.''
Yugi and the others startled as Rebecca explains as the card of The Forgiving Maiden pops out from her Graveyard. ''During the Standby Phase, by banishing 1 LIGHT Fairy-Type monster from my Graveyard, I can Special Summon this card from my Graveyard. Now appear!''
Soon emerges in a portal of light a new monster on Rebecca's field. The fairy resembles Wingweaver except she had on a revealing black/white angelic armor with the same number of wings except they were dark angelic wings.
Shadoweaver Lvl 7 ATK: 2750 DEF: 2400
''That's some monster.'' Jonouchi utters in surprised. Ichigo nods not seeing her use that card in their duel.
''Battle! Shadoweaver, attack Sky Galloping Gaia the Dragon Champion!'' Rebecca declares as her angel smiles wickedly, flying up to Gaia. The Dragon Champion watches as the dark fairy was approaching him fast, her wings beginning to glow black and becoming sharper. ''Shadow Wings!''
Yugi wasn't going to let that happen revealing his set card. ''Reverse Trap open, Zero Gravity! Now all monsters' battle position will switch.''
''That's not going to work. I activate the Counter Trap, Seven Tools of the Bandit!'' Rebecca counters his play by triggering her last set card. ''By paying 1000 of my Life Points, I negate your card's effect and destroy it!''
Her Life Points took the 1000 of cost but thanks to that it negated and shattered Yugi's trap. Now Shadoweaver resumes her attack, launching forward and slashing Sky Galloping Gaia in half. The monster explodes into pieces as Yugi took 150LP of damage.
''Nice try Yugi but I'm not going out that easily.'' Rebecca tells him winking, having achieve a perfect plan to take control and win the duel. ''Now St. Joan, attack-''
Before her monster could make a move, a robotic, green shell turtle with a tail that had a magnet attached to the end and the red ''S'' and blue ''N'' initials on its chest. The turtle hurls inside its spiky shell and begins to spin, surrounding in a magnetic-like electrical barrier. Joan tries to swing her sword but the barrier reflects her efforts easily.
''W-what?'' Rebecca utters, not sure what just happened. The others, however, knew as Ichigo confirms it purring. ''That's Electromagnetic Turtle Nya!''
Rebecca froze as Yugi smiles within the barrier, explaining it as he held his monster's card after it pops out from his Graveyard. ''By banishing my turtle friend, I can end your Battle Phase.''
The young American girl frowns, thinking she got him good. He had something to fall over but then why would he let his Gaia be-
''Next I use Kuribohrn's effect from my hand.'' Yugi's voice interrupts her train of thought. She looks up to see a white fur Kuriboh with green claws and feet appearing, wearing a holy priest-like, blue hat with a white gem over it.
''Kuribohrn?'' Mokuba asks, never seeing that Kuriboh before. Kaiba scoffs, hating the damn furball not bothering explaining anything.
''By discarding my new friend from my hand during the end of a Battle Phase, I can Special Summon a monster that was destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard this turn.'' Yugi explains his Kuriboh's effect. The monster holds his claws together in a pray as divine light shines over him.
''Revive, Sky Galloping Gaia the Dragon Champion!'' Yugi calls out as his Dragon Champion descends from the light. Kuribohrn lets out his cute cry before vanishing.
Sky Galloping Gaia the Dragon Champion Lvl 7 ATK: 2600 DEF: 2100
Rebecca bit her lips, not having much except her only card in her hand and this was her last gamble.
''I set 1 card facedown.'' She sets a card behind both her female monsters, ending her turn. ''Turn end.''
''I still have my set Mirror Force, certain I have this duel under my control.'' Rebecca told herself mentally, eyeing down at her set card being the victory card to winning the duel.
Duel Screen: Turn 4_ Yugi: 3850LP H: 2 / Rebecca: 2600LP H: 0
Yugi smiles just amazed of her even more, actually praising her. ''Amazing Rebecca-kun. You've gotten even stronger than before.''
Rebecca blushes, hearing such kind words from him. Yugi smiled, wishing he could enjoy dueling her… but the thought of the world and Atem in danger not allow him to fully forget his worries. He eyes Jonouchi and Ichigo, cheering for him as he smiled.
''But I don't have time wasting around here.'' He declares playing a card from his hand. ''I activate the Quick-Play Spell, De-Fuse! Now I separate my Dragon Champion, returning it to the Extra Deck and bringing back its Fusion Material Monsters!''
Sky Galloping Gaia the Dragon Champion found himself un-merging with the dragon, reverting back to their previous forms.
Lord Gaia the Fierce Knight Lvl 7 ATK: 2300 DEF: 2000
Curse of Dragonfire Lvl 5 ATK: 2000 DEF: 1500
Everyone startled by this as was Rebecca, not sure that she follow what play the tricolor head was doing.
''I release both Lord Gaia and Curse of Dragonfire!'' Yugi announces as both his monsters became red orbs of light, shooting off behind him. They soon merge as suddenly the fused orb grew and reshapes itself into a black sealed door. Rebecca stares at the door and felt a chill coming from its very presence.
''Blackened steel dragon that roars! Shatter the lock that encloses the boundaries of the mortal plane and bring destruction to all my enemies!'' Yugi begins chanting as the door behind him starts to crack open before bursting open, revealing red rays of light and something flying to the field. ''Come forth, Gandora-X the Dragon of Demolition!''
Flying above the field was the very Dragon of Destruction, Gandora, but evolve on the field. The dragon appeared much like Gandora except its wings and body had changed, almost gaining darker scaled armor and it had armored blades attached on both side of its mouth. The wings were shown to be folded up and sharper. It had almost more red orbs attached across almost across its body as its eyes glow redder than ever before, letting out a massive roar upon the field.
Gandora-X the Dragon of Demolition Lvl 8 ATK: 0 DEF: 0
Everyone startles as Ichigo was amazed as was Jonouchi uttering. ''Gandora evolved.''
Rebecca gulps, aware of the original Gandora and its effect. Regardless, she had the set Mirror Force just in, calling him out. ''I'm not going to lose even against that.''
''You would be wrong.'' Yugi replies immediately smirking a bit. ''I activate Gandora-X's effect. When my monster is Normal or Special Summoned from my hand, I destroy as many other monsters on the field and next inflict damage to my opponent equal to the highest original ATK on the field among those destroyed monsters.''
Rebecca suddenly widened her eyes hearing such an effect as did Kaiba. Gandora-X roars as the orbs across its body began to glow brightly red.
''Destroy Giga Rays CROSS!'' Yugi commands as the black dragon unleashes the massive blast of multiple red beams shooting across its body. The rays tear through everything that touched them, especially Rebecca's monsters. She stares defenseless as the blasts hits her and destroys her monsters.
''AAAWW!'' Rebecca screams crashing behind her back, taking 2800LP of damage with her Life Points instantly dropping to 0.
Yugi blinks, noticing he overdid it chuckling nervously. ''Next Gandora-X ATK becomes equal to the damage my opponent took from its effect but I guess I won't need to attack now.''
Gandora-X actually sweat dropped at its master's laughter having an ATK of 2800.
''Unbelievable.'' Mokuba utters as Kaiba eyes this, smirking that Yugi has never cease to amaze his expectations. No less from his rival.
Duel Screen: Winner... Yugi Mutou: 3850LP vs. Rebecca Hopkins: 0LP
Rebecca pants heavily, dropping on her knees not believing how strong Yugi has become from back then to now. He was completely a different person by just eyeing him. Gandora-X roars before vanishing as their Duel Disks shut down. Jonouchi was amazed how strong Yugi still is as was Ichigo smiling.
''I… I lost.'' She says truly crushed as Kaiba expected no less on the result, mocking in his tone. ''Hmph. That duel was a joke.''
Ichigo gives the jerk a glare which did nothing more but Kaiba not paying attention to it. Jonouchi really hated that man a lot.
Yugi didn't say a word as Kaiba turns his back, declaring. ''If you want your revenge, come back when you actually pose a challenge!''
Rebecca eyes him serious, knowing that she's not even close to Kaiba's level if she can't match up to Yugi at all.
''Hey don't mock her Nya!'' Ichigo disagrees furious at the CEO. Seto ignores her words turning his head, staring down at Rebecca as he adds. ''You know where to find me.''
Rebecca eyes him as Kaiba turns back and walks away. Mokuba sighs, hoping for a better conclusion but his brother was never about being nice.
''Just to not discourage you in thinking he's lying, Nii-san would have finished you in half the number of turns.'' Mokuba points out being nice to her before he bows and runs after his older brother about their discussion from before. ''Excuse me. Wait up Nii-san!''
''Damn Kaiba…'' Jonouchi curses, really hating that man more than anyone else. Ichigo agreed.
Yugi turns to see a sadden Rebecca, feeling bad for her since he didn't want to win like this but also he didn't want her to duel Kaiba with revenge. Things changed about the man who torn up his grandfather's precious card into someone who has something of a heart, just one that's smaller than others.
''Rebecca-kun. I know Kaiba-kun is arrogant and says terrible things, but he is a different person than the man who torn up that Blue-Eyes.'' The tricolor head tells her, being honest about it even though Kaiba doesn't show it. ''That Kaiba-kun you saw today isn't like the Kaiba-kun from the past. He's changed.''
''I don't know about that Nya.'' Ichigo mutters, not so much convinced that that man has a soul for redemption.
''…It's not about that.'' Rebecca finally says staring at Yugi as she's more defeated about not being a better duelist especially with this duel. ''Kaiba's right. Without Pegasus or Bandit Keith, America doesn't have the top duelists anymore.''
''That's why I came here. To prove that we're still pretty good!'' Rebecca adds, trying to be strong but only came short unlike Yugi, Kaiba and Jonouchi. Heck even in this case Ichigo and she's a beginner. To think someone like her lost to a starter but now that made her see that she can get better. ''But losing to you for real Yugi-kun… that was an eye-opener. I should have been training than complaining like how I first lost to Ichigo.''
Ichigo blinks confused, not wanting to be the attention of this situation blushing.
''I'm turning over a new leaf. I'm going to raise my duelist level so that I can put the United States back on the map of Duel Monsters' best.'' Rebecca vows on herself, determine to make her promise come true. Yugi smiles to hear that.
''Just you wait. I'll beat Kaiba, you Yugi…'' Rebecca starts also promising to defeat the best duelists before eyeing towards the red cherry head. ''And you too Ichigo.''
Ichigo blinks, surprised she added her into that which made her smile. She smirks a little, adding with an energetic tone. ''You bet! I'll also be training so that I won't lose either!''
Rebecca smiles, hoping she doesn't. Jonouchi sweat drops, upset he wasn't added into that list.
''I'm going home to practice!'' Rebecca says, adjusting her glasses proudly to work on her dueling skills as she eyes the tricolor head, smiling as she hugs him. Yugi blushes bright red as Jonouchi drop his jaw at the sight of this. Ichigo gasps, somewhat glad she did that.
''Say bye to your grandfather for me!'' Rebecca asks him, giggling before she releases him and runs off waving goodbye. Yugi, still blushing red, snaps out of it and starts waving goodbye to her back. ''Bye Rebecca-kun! Good luck.''
The three watched the long blonde-headed girl leave before it was just them.
''Geez that girl sure wants to try hard. Good for her.'' Jonouchi admits, admiring her promise to become better than the person she was before similar to himself. Ichigo nods softly, thinking back on her loss by Mai and she realized that she too can become just as strong too if not more. If others like Yugi-kun and Jonouchi can, so can her.
Ichigo smiled, getting back her former confidence as she shouts proudly with a solid purr. ''I'LL TRAIN SUPER HARD TOO NYA!''
Yugi smiles, glad to hear that. Jonouchi, however, felt the scream right up to his ear, almost feeling like he was kicked in the nuts, again, rubbing his ears. He gives a glare at Ichigo and shouts back at her. ''DON'T SCREAM NEAR MY EAR!''
Ichigo turns angrily, hissing as his own shout made her sensitive ears get hurt. Jonouchi sweat drops, starting to regret his choice. Ichigo moves in close, stretching her right foot just as Yugi widens his eyes realizing something.
''… KAIBA-KUN WAIT! I NEED THE TICKETS!'' Yugi now shouts, rushing fast to the direction the Kaiba Brothers walk off towards, leaving the two behind who were left dumbstruck.
Both Ichigo and Jonouchi sweat drops largely, not believing he once again forgotten about the tickets.
"Yugi-kun, the Duel King… hard to realize that Nya.'' The red cherry head utters stunned as the blond-headed agrees oddly enough. "Me too actually.''
After getting the tickets in his possession, Yugi heads out with his friends to get the first Millennium Item. Can our group of heroes gather all the Millennium Items and restore the Egyptian God Cards to defeat this Reshef? Only one way to find out… and more to be concerned of.
In the newly renamed of D.L. World Enterprise, Akumu Momomiya, still the undiscovered and evil terrifying monster known as Dark Leader Dragon, was enjoying a cup of wine in his office. He looks out from his large office window, sensing a dark presence out there but not precise on its location. It was strong but not something he would concern a threat yet.
He stops sipping turning to the shadows as the loyal Dark General Knight emerges, bowing to his master as he tells him. ''My lord, I have news for you.''
Akumu eyes him, forming a swift smirk as he's excited to hear this.

Thank you all for enjoying the first DKR Movie's First Part. Unlike other DKR's Previews, I'll just do the Next Time and then do a small preview. No title name.
Next Time…
Yugi, Jonouchi and Ichigo head out to the Duel Express as they're suddenly encountered by an old enemy. Will the monsters of the pitch dark scare the poor cat girl?
Author's Note: Lord Gaia the Fierce Knight does ride on a golden dragon with a helmet that has the same color scheme as his armor BUT it only appears through its second effect. Just wanted to let you guys know.
Also there is a new Poll in my account concerning the fact I haven't got new reviewers even though the DKR series has gone better since Volume 1... SO... I'm wondering if it had to do with the name. You can check that poll and give me your input. Thanks.
