Hello readers! LightLord92, starting the new adventure of the Paladins of Light series, which I've come to call Yu Gi Oh! 5D's Paladins of Light - Eternal Bonds, taking place in the time period between the Dark Signers and the Pre-WRGP arcs, taking into account new events that will take place, like the ones mentioned in the last episode of Darkness Awakens. Hope you guys like it and here we go with the next volume!
First I would like to thank DragonKnight15 for lending me his help with a few matters in this episode (cards he made, helping name a few characters), thanks buddy! And well, I also take the opportunity to state this. This arc is whole fan-made; there are certain events that occur between the Dark Signers and the Pre-WRGP arcs that I found interesting to use, so I give them my touch in this arc, hope you like them! Also, feel free to comment which characters you would like to see from GX or 5D's and I'll make my best to bring them here.
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters, original plot ideas of the anime, or music from the Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's or Yu-Gi-Oh! GX's series or any other I try to use, they belong to Konami and Kazuki Takahashi or their respective owners; I do however own the OC's of the Paladins of Light and some cards I've been creating for the fanfic.

LightLord92: This is a new adventure! Let's kick it off with Episode 1 – A Duel of White Dragons, The Real Heir of Blue Eyes appears!
New Domino City, main airport of the city; a white private airplane began flying down, readying to land on the track. Finally landing, a young woman with light-blue hair appeared from the door opening, as she stared to the higher apartment buildings by the downtown area "New Domino City, it's been some time since I was last here." Said the young woman, of about 18 years, smiling in enjoyment "It's time I pay a visit to him, he'll be really surprised to see me!" she added, quite anxious. Moments later, she got on a limousine, heading to the apartment buildings.
New Domino City, Sector Security Bureau Headquarters; barely three days have passed since the defeat of the Dark Signers and the Earthbound Immortals at the hands of the Signers; New Domino City is returning back to its normal flow of work. Yusei Fudo, as well as Jack Atlas and Crow Hogan have become heroic figures for the city, being the saviors of the dark hour they were facing. Inside the Director's main office of Sector Security's Bureau, sadness, guilt and sympathy filled the air.
Rafael and Mina stared at Goodwin's lone chair, as they missed Goodwin for leaving this world already. They knew he turned to dark side, but Rafael could see what he looked for, but got misguided and misunderstood what he was looking for "Goodwin, you looked for a better world in here…by the wrong way unfortunately. May you find peace now; that's the least you deserve." He thought to himself, as Mina was looking even more down than him.
Rafael simply patted on her shoulder, making her snap out and look at him "Hey, cheer up." He said smiling "I know it's hard, but we've got our lives even so. We must move on, for him." Mina simply smiled back at him, hugging Rafael dearly.
"Thank you for everything Rafael. I appreciate it." She said, breaking the hug soon and heading to the desk, checking some papers Goodwin had left "We must see now who will take the Director's place, to maintain order and peace in the city while we add Satellite too." she said, stopping as soon as she found a tagged CD with the Important legend, she played it on Goodwin's computer as Rafael walked towards the desk.
As the computer turned on, a video Goodwin recorded appeared in the screen, as it began playing automatically "Good evening, Rafael and Mina. I have a strange feeling it is you two the ones seeing this recording." said Goodwin, as they were a bit surprised about it "The reason you're watching this, is possibly that I succeeded at fulfilling my brother and my dream of ending the war and bringing peace to this world." He said, closing his eyes, then opening them soon after "For sure Yusei has become a lead figure in the future of the city and is working to join the city with Satellite, which leaves only one more thing to solve, find a substitute for the post of Director of Sector Security, at least until the time it isn't needed anymore." He said, as two files of both Mina and Rafael appeared, with Trudge entering to the room soon after it.
"Am I interrupting something?" asked Trudge, as Rafael and Mina asked him to see the video too, but asking him to be silent as Goodwin's recording kept onwards "I have thought of possible people for the post; Mina, you have been a loyal and good worker, keeping Jack under vigilance and also with the missions regarding Rafael's group; Trudge is also a good choice, he has a strong sense of justice and has seemed to let go his past with Yusei and the Satellite;" he said, showing another fie "Lazar would also be considered, as he has been a good friend of mine and followed my every order so far; yet…I have come to a solution that would benefit the city the most." He said, as Rafael's profile appeared in half the screen, with Goodwin's recording still playing.
"Rafael, so far your sense of justice has been something that keeps me intrigued; your loyalty and care for people are also exceptional in the many people I have come to know; you put everyone and everything in front of you, instead of your own wishes or well-being, something admirable, but also dangerous if I may say so; I have come to the conclusion you are a worthy successor, as you will be of a lot of aid for Yusei to complete what I have left behind. The choice is yours in the end, my friend. Choose wisely." He said, as the recording turned off, with Rafael quite surprised.
Mina and Trudge simply stared at him, smiling "Well, that makes things simple." said Trudge eager, placing his hands at his waist, while Mina simply smiled happily "Congratulations, Director Rafael." She said smiling too.
Rafael simply looked rather cold, staring immediately right outside of the window, at the city "This is…quite a surprise…" he said hesitant "Do you guys mind if I answer you later on? I need time to think about it." He said, immediately receiving a message from his phone from Sara, asking him to return to his apartment as soon as possible. Mina nodded, as she and Trudge simply laughed a bit, catching Rafael off-guard. On route to the apartments, accompanied by Mina and Trudge, Rafael was deep focused on his thoughts, trying to think what Sara wanted to tell him.
Arriving there, Rafael received another message, turning on his communicator "Rafael here, what's going on?"
"Rafael, we need you up in the terrace of the building, please come here." replied Sara, the communication ending soon thereafter. Rafael along with Mina and Trudge went to the elevator, heading to the terrace immediately, Rafael thinking something wrong was happening, still noting Trudge and Mina containing their smiles, hardly.
As the elevator was arriving, Rafael was getting a bit anxious, turning to Mina "Guys, I know you know what's going on, care to fill me in?" he said, realizing it wasn't something quite important, as Mina simply giggled a bit. When the doors opened, Rafael turned there. Mina simply smiled at him.
"Well, if you want to know, why don't you go outside?" she asked, going out to the roof area with Trudge, Rafael following them. He stared at the sky, feeling a change in wind's direction. He had never been in the roof area, it seemed like one designed to hold events of the people living within the apartment, it was pretty much fixed as if a party would be held soon, 5 long tables for about 6 people each of them. When Rafael stepped out, he turned around to see Mina and Trudge "Well, what's this all-" he said, startled to see all of his friends reunited there, the GX Gang, the Signers, the Dark Signers back to normality, and the Paladins, except for Roland, there "Oh no, you didn't tell them, right Sara?" he said, turning to his friend who simply smiled eagerly.
"Happy birthday Rafael!" said everyone, throwing some confetti at him. Yusei, a grumpy Jack, Akiza, Leo, Luna, Mina and Trudge who were with him, Jaden, Alexis, Chazz, Syrus, Mana, Crow, Jill, Aster, Misty, Carly, a serious Kalin, Sara, Alana, Emily, Akio, Lily, Blair, and Tyranno, greeting him for the celebration. Aside from Jack who looked like himself, which actually meant he was enjoying passing time with his friends, and a pretty serious Kalin that both Jill and Crow tried to cheer up a bit, everyone was having a great time as soon as Rafael arrived. Sara confirmed to him she told everybody of that, arranging it with barely enough time.
"Sorry to make you go through this." Said Sara, taking a seat with Rafael and Yusei, as Akiza, Akio, Lily and Mina got near too.
"Never mind, it was a nice surprise." replied Rafael smiling, as he was taking a drink of lemonade "I actually spent the last years before meeting you guys forgetting it."
"Is that even possible?" asked Akio a bit surprised "I mean, never mind, really. Just babbling a bit, but I'm glad everything went smoothly in the end with the Signers and the Dark Signers." He said, turning to Misty, Carly, Kalin, and then Rein "We could save them and the world."
"The power of our bonds allowed that to happen." Affirmed Yusei smiling "If we believe in each other and trust in ourselves, we're a team after all."
"Yusei's right." Said Akiza, turning to Mina and Rafael then "Changing a bit of subjects, guys with Director Rex gone, who will take care of Sector Security's Bureau? The city will be nervous if criminals start popping up here and there."
Rafael simply got a tad serious, but pulling a smile afterwards "Well, I'll still work with Sector Security. I promised that much to Goodwin, but…" he said, thinking then of the responsibility befalling to his shoulders "to become Director? It sounds tempting but I'm not sure if I'm qualified for the job."
"You've got a strong sense of justice; Goodwin was right on that one." stated Yusei quite confident "I'm sure you would do a fine job."
"Well, putting it like that…" replied Rafael scratching his back head a bit "I'll think a bit more of it. For now I would like to thank you guys for this day."
"Well, it hasn't ended yet!" shouted Jack, smirking as he turned on his Duel Disk "Rafael, the first time we met we didn't had a good duel. The second one, you underestimated me, now's the time to show your real strength!" he then pointed at Rafael, standing in determination and turning serious "Rafael, I challenge you to a rematch! Let's duel right here and now!"
Rafael simply smiled back, standing up and readying his deck "Well Jack, you beat me that time because I didn't went all-out, this time it will be different of course." Upon saying so, Sara couldn't help but smile, as well as Yusei, Akiza, Akio and Lily, Jaden of course was over excited of a dueling about to start, while Mina simply looked worried of not knowing who to cheer for, since Carly was beside Jack Atlas.
"I'm sorry Mr. Atlas, but your rematch will have to wait." said a female voice of a young woman coming from the elevator, as it was open, with a woman wearing a blue tank top below a white short-sleeved jacket with a white grayish mini skirt; light white blue hair and bright blue eyes "It's been a long time, my sweet Rafael."
Rafael immediately swallowed by surprise, his soda, looking quite shocked at the woman, obviously recognizing her "Oh no, not again." He said nervous "Why?"
"Why? Because it's your birthday dummy." Replied the woman eagerly smiling in a funny anime way, getting ahold of Rafael's arm "After all, that's what couples do." Upon saying that, Mina and Sara got really astonished while Rafael simply got embarrassed and somewhat frustrated.
"But I've told you thousands of times we're not a couple!" replied Rafael blushed up, while Jack seemed to laugh a bit behind teeth.
"That's a shame, after all you were the Champion once." Said a male's voice coming from the elevator, as a brown haired blue-eyed tall and serious man began walking, wearing a long white sleeveless white coat with shoulder pads and raised studded collar, with a long sleeve black shirt underneath it and extra belts strapped in his upper arms, along with black jeans; accompanying him was a woman with the same hair and eye color as the young woman that was holding to Rafael, except she was wearing a long blue whitish dress and high heels "I was right in the end Azura, I won't allow that."
"Dad, you promised to let me handle this on my own!" replied the young woman, letting go of Rafael while turning to her father, who was "Kaiba, long time no see." Said Rafael serious looking at his previous sponsor "If this is your way of asking me to return to the Pro Leagues, you're losing your time, I won't."
"Hmph, like if I came here for that." Replied Kaiba in his all-high and mighty usual way "You lost your chance to become a champion, being defeated by Jack here, there's no way I would reconsider sponsoring you once again." He then turned to his daughter Azura, I mean Kira, you know how I stand but I can't let you do this."
"Dear" said the woman accompanying Kaiba, placing her hand in his shoulder "you promised her, you've got to let her do this." Kaiba simply closed his eyes a bit mad, but knowing it was truth.
"Fine Carol, I'll let her do this." Said Kaiba, turning to the area which seemed big enough for a duel to take place "But first, Akio and Lily, some people wanted to come here to meet you." He added, as 5 more people came from the elevator's direction.
Akio and Lily were surprised to see who they were, Akio's parents were walking towards Akio "Akio, you've done a great job being a Paladin:" said Yugi, as Akio hugged him immediately.
"My dear Akio is following the steps of the family!" said the red haired Ichigo, Akio's mother "It makes me remember of the days we fought to protect Domino City."
"Brother I'm happy to see you fine." said a woman of about Akio's age, about 17 years old "The Paladins really are strong, you've become a strong duelist."
"Thanks Anzu sis." replied Akio, embracing his family.
Lily on the other hand went to meet a tall and dirt toned blond haired man, with brown eyes, wearing a blue denim jacket with a white shirt underneath the jacket, blue jeans; beside him, a woman with blond hair and purple eyes, wearing a white shirt underneath a purple sleeveless jacket, a purple skirt and long white fingerless gloves "Mom, Dad!" she said, running to them.
"Lily, how you doing?" said her mother holding her "Wow, you've grown up a bit more since we let you go with Yugi's son, that's good right dear?" The man simply smiled, nodding while turning to Kaiba "Hey Kaiba, it looks your daughter has you all wrapped around her finger, right?" said the blond man, teasing Kaiab.
"Silence Wheeler, you're no one to say that." Replied Kaiba to which Joey began angering a bit.
Jaden was way too amazed of the sight, four of the legendary duelists of the Gold Era of Dueling Monsters where before his eyes, while most people only recognized Yugi and Kaiba "I can't believe it, Yugi, Joey, Kaiba, and Mai are her!" he shouted eagerly as his comrades of Duel Academy realized it soon, while the new members of the group barely distinguished them.
Yugi immediately turned to Jaden and Yusei, having the feeling that the young Turbo Duelists hasn't met with him in the past, but it will be soon "It's nice to see everyone again. We decided to come here to greet you on your victory over the Wicked Gods."
Kira Azura, Kaiba's daughter immediately sighed, calling the attention and then smiling as it really worked out well "Good, now Rafael, what do you say of the duel?" she asked once again, pressing Rafael yet again.
Rafael simply sighed, turning to face her "Very well, let's make this for the old times, okay Azura?"
"Right!" replied Kaiba's daughter while her father got a tad angry she let Rafael call her that way "Now, if I win you will have to be my boyfriend for real!"
"Hey, that was never part of the deal!" replied Rafael losing his head, as everyone began laughing a bit. Both duelists readied their decks, while Kira added a single card to his deck. Rafael was tempted to use one he just built, but that deck needed a lot of tests yet, he went on with his usual deck of Dragons and Dragoons, hoping it could work fine "Let's see, Kira's deck iis pretty much like Kaiba's, but she speeds up the summoning of her White Dragons." He said in thoughts, while Kira simply smiled, her Duel Disk ready "Moreover, she rounds only those dragons, this might be a tough duel if she improved her deck in the past months." He said; his duel disk switching on too "Let's duel!" shouted both of them, drawing their cards.
Azura -4000 LP, Hand 6; Rafael-4000 LP, Hand 5
"Ladies first, here I go!" she said smirking while getting her card "I'll start up summoning Shining Angel in defense mode!" a white robed male angel appeared in the field, taking defense stance in front of Azura "Then I set 2 cards, your move Rafael."
Azura -4000 LP, Hand 3; Rafael-4000 LP, Hand 6
Rafael simply got his card, trying to think something "Very well, I'll start this due summoning Blizzard Dragon in attack mode, now I'll activate its ability to freeze up your angel!" added Rafael, as his dragon shot an ice beam at Azura's dragon, freezing it solid "Now Blizzard Dragon attack!" the fish-like headed dragon simply hit with its fin-wing the solid ice, breaking it into pieces, while Azura simply smiled.
"With that, I can Special Summon any Light-Attributed monster with 1500 attack from my Deck now! Come forth Kaibaman!" she said, as his father's self-monster appeared in the field smiling, Rafael somehow felt he knew that one, as it seemed if it was the one that he had as a Spirit companion before.
"Very well, I set a card and end my turn." said Rafael as he called off "Up to now your Deck seems like always, however you surely modified it."
Azura simply giggled "Well, that's something you'll have to find out."
Azura -4000 LP, Hand 4; Rafael-4000 LP, Hand 4
"My turn! Draw!" said Azura eagerly as she smiled upon the card she got "I Special Summon, Kisara, Lady of White Dragons!" a young woman with pale skin appeared, with blue whitish hair and wearing clothes somewhat similar to those of Kaibaman, yet more fitted for a magician or an enchanter.
"Oh no, I can see what's coming now." Said Rafael worried, while Azura smiled.
"Now I bring forth Fortune Dragon!" she added as a yellow golden statue-like dragon appeared in the field, roaring fiercely "And finally for the finale, I activate White Dragon Lords!" a card with the image of Kaibaman, Kisara, and another dragon monster between them as the shadows of giant dragons appeared behind them "By releasing Kaibaman, Kisara, and a dragon-type monster, I can Special Summon 3 Blue Eyes White Dragon from my Deck!" said Azura, as her three monsters became light rays, as the 3 Blue Eyes White Dragons appeared in the field "Now I activate Polymerization to attack with Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon!" she added, as her 3 mightiest dragons fused to form the fearsome three-headed dragon "Now, Fortune Dragon effect activates. When it goes from the field to the graveyard by the effect of a card you control, I draw 6 new cards from my Deck."
"But since it was by your own card's effect, what will it trigger now?" asked Rafael a tad nervous.
"We both draw cards until we have 5 cards in our hands." She said, Rafael getting nervous since she depleted her hand on purpose to refill it "Now Ultimate Dragon, attack! Neutron Blast!" the three headed dragon began charging its mighty strike, three energy streams in each mouth, firing them immediately against Rafael's lone monster "This duel is almost mine!"
"Not at all!" replied Rafael while Negate Attack appeared in the field "I had a feeling you would try to bring that colossal dragon as soon as possible, but to be sure I had this card just in case. Negate Attack's effect enters now, ending this Battle Phase immediately!" he said smiling as the attack got swallowed in a vortex, ending the Battle Phase.
Azura simply smiled "Not bad at all, I end my turn now." She said smirking, which made Rafael more nervous of what was to come.
"It seems this young woman is some strong duelist." Said Sara while staring at the duel, Yusei turning to her "Rafael is thinking quite a lot his moves, in most duels he doesn't."
"Well, she's Kaiba's daughter." said Alan, joining his twin sister "I wonder, will Rafael use his own Blue Eyes White Dragons to face her? It would end in a tie for sure if that happens."
"Rafael will find a way to win this." said Yusei confident, while smiling.
Azura -4000 LP, Hand 5; Rafael-4000 LP, Hand 6
"Here I go, draw!" said Rafael, as he got his card, thinking for a moment what he could do to face the mighty dragon his rival was using now "I activate Blizzard Dragon's effect, freezing solid your Ultimate Dragon for an entire round." Said Rafael, as his fish-headed-like monster shot another ice beam at the ultimate dragon, disabling it completely "Next I change my monster to defense mode and set 2 cards to end my turn."
"Hmmm, aren't we losing control of this duel?" said Kira smiling, while Rafael smirked "This was far easier than I thought, where did the Rafael that put up a nice fight go to? He's not here at all."
"Aren't you going quite ahead of yourself?" stated Rafael, startling Kira a bit "I mean, sure, you have a big hitter on the field, but I've learned and remembered many things ever since I left the Pro Leagues." He said, turning to look directly at Kira "The bigger they are, the harder they fall. This duel is not over until the last card is played!"
"Then I guess you have a rough task ahead, defeating my ultimate dragon won't be easy!" she said, readying to draw her card "Draw!"
Azura -4000 LP, Hand 6; Rafael-4000 LP, Hand 4
Kira simply giggled, anxious to make her move "Let's see, with this one I will definitely benefit the most of our decks, but should I take it easy?" she said in thoughts, holding the card; she finally closed her eyes in resolution "No, I know I can do it." She kept thinking, opening her eyes then as she was sure of her next move "Right, I release my Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon to summon the real power of the Blue Eyes White Dragons!" she said while Rafael simply got startled of it.
"Could it be…?" he said reluctantly, as beams of light came from within Blue Eyes Ultimate Dragon with cracks appearing around the dragon as if it was some kind of shell breaking down.
"I summon you, Blue Eyes Shining Dragon!" shouted Kira looking serious, as a jet-like dragon, almost mechanic, with glowing signs all over its body appeared, shrieking loudly "This is the true power of the white dragons, and now its power will increase by 300 for each dragon monster in my Graveyard!" she said as the three Blue Eyes White, Blue Eyes Ultimate, and Fortune Dragons appeared in spirit form, being absorbed by the shining dragon "With 5 dragons, it'll increase my dragon's power to 4500! Attack, Shining Burst!" said Kira as her dragon began charging a powerful beam strike in its mouth, shooting it directly towards Rafael monster.
"Activate, Sakuretsu Armor!" replied Rafael nervous "I will take down that monster one way or another, Sakuretsu is my best bet right now!" he then gasped, as the mechanic like monster began glowing.
"Sorry, but it will only try." replied Kira, pointing at Rafael's trap "Whenever my dragon would be affected by a card effect, I can negate it!" her dragon then began shining brightier than before, which was a lot "Shining Diffusion!" the light then was sent as a force, striking Rafael's trap and shattering it, as the attack connected and destroyed Rafael's Blizzard Dragon "Lucky you, that monster was in defense. I set a card and end my turn."
Rafael looked a bit frustrated, that dragon would be hard to remove as his Dragoon monsters and yet, it proved to be stronger since not even his ace Dragoon would activate its effect to disable the dragon. He had to think fast if he wished to stand against the only dragon card Kaiba didn't provided him, but he knew of "That was a nice move, but I still have a lot of fight within me." said Rafael drawing his card.
Azura -4000 LP, Hand 4; Rafael-4000 LP, Hand 5
He then noticed it was one of his Dragoon monsters, the Dragoon Apprentice "This should do for now, I summon Dragoon Apprentice in attack mode!" he said as the young dragon scale armored rookie warrior appeared in the field "When my Apprentice is summoned, I'm allowed to bring forth a level 4 or lower Dragon or Warrior monster from my Graveyard or Hand, I will bring the Blizzard Dragon you destroyed." He said as the blue ice dragon reappeared "Now, I tune up my level 2 Dragoon Apprentice with my level 4 Blizzard Dragon!" said Rafael as his little warrior became two energy rings surrounding Blizzard Dragon "To protect justice and hope! Become the guardian this world needs! Blazing force and heart of a hero! Synchro Summon! Come forth, Dragon Lord-Dragoon Guardian Protector!" from a beam of light coming from the rings, the heavy-armored Dragoon warrior appeared, taking defensive stance immediately while Kira looked impressed "This monster will provide me some defense for now, your move now Kira."
"I must say that you thought things well." replied Kira smiling "Bringing a monster like that won't give you some edge in the duel, not enough. My turn, draw!"
Azura -4000 LP, Hand 5; Rafael-4000 LP, Hand 4
"Blue Eyes Shining Dragon, attack that Dragoon Protector! Shining Burst!" shouted Kira as her dragon once again fired a powerful stream of energy at Rafael's field, hitting it. Kira simply smiled, thinking Rafael's Dragoon was gone, until the dust cloud faded and it still was there, a bit wounded, but alive "What happened here? It should have been destroyed."
"Luckily for me, this Dragoon can't be destroyed in battle." replied Rafael, sighing from the close call, until Kira giggled.
"That was good, I grant you that." she said as a card appeared beside her with the image of Blue Eyes White Dragon flying in front of the large shining moon, mighty and with its folded wings "Trap card open, Legacy of Blue Eyes! This card will automatically equip to a Dragon type monster I control, then that monster's name will be treated as Blue Eyes White Dragon, I end my turn with that."
Rafael got nervous "Now that she knows my monster can't be destroyed in battle, she surely aims to destroy it by a card effect." He then got startled, as there was a card that would cost her an attack, but would erase his Dragoon for good "I've got to move quickly, else she'll win this duel."
"I'd say you have about two rounds left, make them count my dear." said Kira smiling eagerly. Kira already planned her last moves "It's obvious he'll try to save his monster from destruction with another card, my face down Typhoon will erase it next turn. Then I use my Neutron Radiation Booster next turn, handing down all the attack power to any dragon or monster I summon that's not my dragon to get the game done, marvelous." She thought, already planning "This is like a dream come true." She kept saying in her mind.
Azura -4000 LP, Hand 5; Rafael-4000 LP, Hand 5
"This is it." Said Rafael about to draw his card "Come on Deck, show me the road!" he said drawing the card, then simply getting a bit confused and nervous, but he didn't hesitate anyways "I set two cards and end my turn."
"Hmmm, I didn't actually expect that." Said Kira a tad surprised "Two additional sets to the one you had, that makes it a 1/3 of chances I can win this."
"You'll have to choose wisely Kira." replied Rafael, still a bit nervous "Your move."
Azura -4000 LP, Hand 5; Rafael-4000 LP, Hand 4
"Here goes nothing!" she said drawing her card and then getting her typhoon ready "I activate Mystical Space Typhoon, allowing me to destroy one of your set cards." She then pointed at the one in the middle "That one will be destroyed! I'm sure that's your life saver!" she said as the card was revealed as Waboku being destroyed "Good!" said Kira quite amazed she hit it, forgetting the other two "Now I activate my spell, Burst Stream of Destruction!" she said as Blue Eyes Shining Dragon began charging its predecessor's signature attack "With this card I will destroy all monster's you control! Your Dragoon won't survive this time!" she said as her dragon fired the stream, consuming the Dragoon as it disappeared.
Sara looked rather confused, she knew Rafael could pull the Dragoon's effect to bring another from his Deck, but he didn't "What is he planning?" she asked almost murmuring "Normally he plays more serious than this."
"Now, my 'Blue Eyes White Dragons' won't be able to attack, but I can solve that by summoning Blade Knight to the field!" added Kira as her white bluish armored knight with sword and shield appeared "Next I activate my Trap card! Neutron Radiation Booster!" she shouted as a card with the image of a huge light entity that was merging with other Light Attriibute monsters, Jack, Queen, and King's Knights, Blade Knight, and Gilford the Lightning "With this card I can tribute a Light Attributed monster from my field and then increase the Atk and Def on another by the same amount of the tribute monster's Atk and Def respectively!" she said as her mighty dragon disappeared, with its spirit strengthening Blade Knight to a total of 6100 Atk points "This is game now, go Blade Knight!"
Kaiba seemed happy that his daughter was about to win the duel, until it hit him by seeing Rafael smiling after that "Wait Kira, don't do it yet!" he shouted as Carol, his wife turned to their daughter.
Blade Knight's power was just enough to end the duel in a single move, yet Rafael seemed unmoved by it "I must say it was a nice duel, but you're now mine my dear." added Kira smiling until Rafael pointed at her.
"It was indeed a good duel, but even if I hate doing this, I won't lose right now!" replied Rafael, triggering his trap card, a Magic Cylinder "Magic Cylinder will turn back that attack towards you Kira, sorry." Upon hearing that, Kira was astonished as Blade Knight entered one cylinder, coming from the other straight for Kira, taking out her LP in a single move. The duel was over. Kira simply fell to the ground on her knees, somewhat disappointed she failed at choosing which trap card to take out. Rafael simply sighed, as it was a really close call for him. He then turned to Kira, walking towards her and lending his hand "It was a nice duel Kira, I never thought you would bring that early your Dragons. I'm quite amazed." He said.
Kira simply smiled back at him, taking his hand to stand up and stare at him "Well, maybe I lost this time, but there's always a second chance." She added, letting go of Rafael's hand as he turned back. Kira quickly got ahold of him, hugging him forcefully "We had a deal, you won't be my boyfriend for now, but that doesn't mean I can't do this!" she said, as everyone began laughing at the sight.
Kaiba simply looked disappointed, but then he showed a low smile, with Yugi and Joey getting near to him "Your daughter resembles you in a fashion, she's as determined as you to get what she wants." Said Yugi.
"Yeah, and quite stubborn like you." added Joey making fun of Kaiba "If she would end up like you that would be bad news." Ichigo then kicked him where it hurt the most.
"Joey, stop making fun of people like that!" she said scolding him while Mai simply giggled a bit "Everyone matured a bit, save for you." Joey simply grumbled a bit, still remembering the kicks and suffering Ichigo Momomiya made him go through many years ago.
"Maybe she will fulfill what I couldn't, Mutou." Replied Kaiba, staring at the gang as Lily and Akio greeted Kira "Maybe one day, she will defeat your kid in a duel."
"Who knows?" asked Yugi, turning to Yusei and Jaden, as the latter one approached the Legendary Duelist "It's been a long time Jaden."
"For sure Yugi!" replied Jaden eagerly "Oh and thanks for the tip you gave me, it helped me quite a lot. Getting new Heroes and finding my way back here."
"I hope you haven't said too much to Yusei of what is to come." Said Yugi, concerned Jaden may have already warned Yusei. He got relieved when Jaden shook his head "We can't alter the flow of time, it will be when they finish the first bridge connecting the City and Satellite, like in a year."
"Yeah, well, I'll stay here and watch over them." Replied Jaden "By the way, care to duel one last time? For old times?" Yugi simply chuckled a bit.
"Sorry Jaden, but my legacy is with my son." He said, turning to Akio as they still talked of the duel that took place "You'll have to face him instead; he's far more of a challenge than I was." Jaden simply got pumped up, but decided to calm down a bit.
"Oh, I guess we should make proper presentations now." Said Kira, as she stood by her parents, everyone turning to them "For those of you who don't know, this is my father, Seto Kaiba, CEO of Kaiba Corp; this is my mother, Carol, she comes from America and they are my parents." She then winked her eye "And I'm Kira Azure Kaiba, the real heir of the White Dragons."
"Well, most of you know them already." Said Akio going to meet his family "But for those that recently met me, this is my father, the Legendary Duelist and Hero of Old Domino City, Yugi Mutou; my mother, also a great heroine of Domino City and Tokyo, Ichigo Momomiya; my younger sister, Anzu Momo." He said introducing his family "And I'm Akio Ichigo Mutou."
Lily did the same, getting between her mother and his father "And here are my parents, Joey Wheeler, best friend of Yugi Mutou and one of the best duelists of the Gold Age of Duel Monsters; and my mom, Mai Valentine, also one of the best duelists of the same generation."
"That pretty much explains why the three have excellent dueling skills, right Jaden?" asked Alexis, flattering the three young duelists.
The party went on a bit more, as evening was falling. When Rein and Akio where about to leave, he finally made an announcement to his friends "Aio, Lily, come here a moment."
"What's up Rein?" asked Akio, while Lily hold his hand. Kira then moved towards them as Rein looked serious.
"Since your great performance during the incident with the Dark Signers, Rafael and Sara have talked with the HQ already about this."
"There's really not much we can teach you guys anymore." Said Rafael, accompanied by Sara.
"So we decided you are ready to become a Paladin Unit, here in New Domino City." Added Sara, as Lily and Akio looked quite happy of hearing the news, it was their dream ever since they rolled in.
"For the team to be complete" added Rein "Kira will be added to your ranks." He said, as Kira showed them her Paladin ID "I'll leave the security of the city in your capable hands, Akio." He said, bidding farewell to his friend.
"Thanks Rein, to you too Rafael and Sara." Replied Akio quite happy "We won't fail you."
"Talking about farewells." Said Alan walking with Emily towards Rafael and Sara "Guys0 it was nice to see you again, but we have to return to America now."
"That's too soon Alan, it's not fair." Said Rafael, teasing a bit his friend "I'm glad you guys came, thanks for the help controlling things here with the Dark Generals."
"That's our duty." said Emily smiling, as she and Sara hugged each other dearly "I'll miss you Sara, take care of yourself."
"Thanks Emily."replied Sara sobbing a bit "Take care of my brother, he might look tough and all, but he's such a mess sometimes."
"Well, Misty and I must go too." Said Aster, as he and Misty readied too for the farewell "But not for too long, so don't worry."
"With what Aster uncovered of my brother, we will attempt to rescue him." Said Misty determined "We will find Toby, even if we have to travel all around the globe."
"You don't have to." Said Rafael, taking off a special GPS designed by Alan's father "I managed to pinpoint the location where Toby is kept, with a few more psychic duelists. He's somewhere around France." He said, handing Aster the GPS "Take care Aster, I wish I could do something more to help you guys out."
"You don't have to." Replied Aster, as Misty looked quite relieved to know where her little brother was "See you later guys."
South America, Amazon jungle. Having traveled as fast as possible, Reginald was still looking at the map of the jungle, using his three cards of the Wicked Gods to locate the Temple, but with no luck "Damn it all, it's supposed to be somewhere around here!" he shouted impatient "Archfiend Prince, are you sure the Temple is here?"
"Not the Temple." said the prince smiling "But the gate that leads to it." Reginalld simply rolled his eyes in disappointment of hearing that.
"Oh, that's just great." He said angrily.
"Why don't you look up ahead? You may be surprised of those strange ruins there." said the Archfiend Prince, as Reginald did so, finding some really old ruins ahead. Reginald simply smirked eagerly, beginning to laugh madly, knowing the Temple was close to be discovered.
"May this world be ready for the greatest of the threats it has faced!" he shouted, entering the ruins "Because darkness will rule it all!"

Reginald: So I get to be the star for once? Excellent.
Archfiend Prince: Don't get too cocky, Reginald. We've completed half of our task, we must awaken the Dark Gods now.
Guardian Lady: Excuse me, are you a traveler sir?
Reginald: Ummm, sure, I was wondering where to find a huge ancient temple.
Guardian Lady: You've found it sir, but this area is guarded by the Paladins, so I must ask of you to leave, or you could come with me to my house.
