Hello fellow readers again, welcome ONCE AGAIN to the fourth installment of the DKR series! I want to apologize for the long wait. I hate bringing this up but I blame this to Reshef of Destruction. That was a COMPLETE FAILURE. I REGRET doing it and rather delete it, but I won't... I just won't do another like this till the end of DKR and years later.

Anyway, many of you told me you don't want me to do a Reboot of Volume 1 of DKR. So right now, so yea, I won't. I made a "chapter" on changes that readers must follow... unlike some of you namely Oragonking. I don't want fans who don't get my struggles outside of this and that's why those of you that do I care for deeply.

So this is just the prologue of the Volume 4. Episode 1 will be uploaded this Thursday (or midnight or before then). Please wait and thank you for continuing to support the series.

SUMMARY:

2 years since the events of the Memory World and defeating his closest friend, Yugi Mutou resumed his life for the future he promised to Atem and himself however an evil since locked has been unlocked; the Dark Lord known as Dark Leader Dragon. The evil dragon prepared to inflict destruction upon the world but first went looking for the one threat to him and arrived to Yugi's home to find the sword of the Dragon Knight. Through events, Yugi was worthy of the Dragon Sword and became the new Dragon Knight. Now destined to fight the Dark Lord and keep the promises of his dead parents as well as his promise with Atem, Yugi now fought to protect this world and his friends. Having met new and old friends along the way including Ichigo Momomiya, someone he fell in love when they were kids and now, Yugi had become stronger with both the power of the Dragon Sword and his new partners, the two-headed dragon Yin-Yang Dragon. However he also gained many new foes along the way too.

Growing stronger as the Dragon Sword gained both its Dragon Slayer mode and even the unstoppable Dragon Blade, Yugi continues on his journey with his friends as Team Dragon Knight unaware of the endgame the Dark Lord is making as well as another being watching him and his adventures while trying to revive itself and spread despair.

Volume 4: Prologue: My Only Enemy

Sighing in the darkness of his office, Akumu Momomiya sits in his throne chair trying to relax the nerves he's been having. Trying to unwind, he drinks his favorite bloody-like wine but even that is not satisfying him. No… far from it, it's making him madder.

''My lord?'' Stepping out from the shadows, Dark General Knight asks his master noticing the look of distaste he's had on for a while now. He didn't ask him sooner for he knows when he should step his boundaries but this has gone too long.

Turning to face his fateful general, the sadden Dark Lord asks him as he puts down his glass of wine on his desk. ''I've made a lot of mistakes, haven't I?''

''You never make-'' Dark General Knight begins to protest though he hesitates. He is loyal to his master, but he is also honest with him too. If he doesn't… well his lord will snap and that's also not good either.

He changes his words and instead tells his lord what he wants to really hear. ''Well… maybe going after the Dragon Sword and letting your aggressive, beastly side take over all of your decisions like trying to hunt down the boy, allowing him to become the Dragon Knight and not waiting till you recover your full power. You even reveal the truth who you were to your niece and other mistakes that don't need to be mentioned.''

Akumu sighs hating to admit that but he's not wrong. When his prison was opened up by that sudden Dimension Break, he wasn't clear minded. The opposite actually, he allowed the aggressive part of the Dark Lord get in his head basically making him do reckless decisions from not resting to restore his full power, or going easy on Yugi before he became the Dragon Knight OR tell his niece what he was. All of that were his mistakes, even Zorc as well. As far as he can trust him, he must not let him run around freely or else he might do something and take his prey.

However, there is one mistake he didn't mind; Yugi beating him in their third clash. If not for that defeat, the part of him as Akumu Momomiya might not have resurface and regain control of the Dark Lord. Still, it pisses him off to think it was because of Yugi he's the way he used to be.

''I'm actually relief the boy did defeat you during that time. If he did not-'' Dark General Knight begins stating, also having the same thoughts as his lord, but he's cut off by Akumu growling slightly. ''Then I would be a wild dragon only thinking of killing and destroying, yes I know.''

The dark general nods firmly admitting if not for the boy, his master would make attacks and calls very recklessly and unprepared. Now that his master is the way he used to, he's setting up his attacks to lead somewhere then nowhere even in the smallest way. For example his plan to destroy the boy in that tournament was only a decoy to show Akumu Momomiya and Dark Leader Dragon were two different beings, basically taking back his lord's previous reveal and laying a cloak of lies instead. Thanks to that, his niece now trusts him since she and everyone else assume he is not the Dark Lord. Not only that but also making new allies along the way that best suit his master, unlike that Aizen or Orochimaru.

''Now you're planning your attacks, you've now assemble an army and you know exactly what you're doing my lord.'' Dark General Knight tells his lord of his accomplishments to cheer him up. He then adds aware of the other plan his lord is making as they're speaking. ''As we speak, your latest plan will have promising results.''

''… It will.'' Akumu finally mutters something having to admit the next plan will indeed give more than he can imagine. However this didn't make him smirk or show signs of joy, just the opposite.

The dark knight would frown if he still had a real face as he asks him. ''Then why are you so depressed my lord?''

''…'' Akumu did not respond and instead gets up from his chair. He walks towards the large wide wall window, looking down at the city. From his view, all those buildings were for ants but it didn't make him a god or a ruler over the ant-size that is humanity. And it didn't help that he has competition and a pest getting in his way to something he wants to achieve; his dream.

''I'm angry at my past mistakes, at Orochimaru, at Aizen…'' Akumu begins speaking out his dark feelings for the other villains he must destroy. He then takes a pause thinking of the other in his path, angrily adding. ''But most importantly, I'm angry at him, the brat.''

Akumu admits he is not perfect but what he wants to gain isn't the same as what they want; he wants to save humanity his own way even if he must be their ruler, their dictator. Those humans always start wars against each other, or conquer others, or destroy the planet; but honestly he doesn't mind that, he likes humanity the way they are… what he doesn't is how they will eventually ruin the lives of others… like how they did with the old Akumu Momomiya. What they did to him left him dead but through his death he learned that dark truth and was given the second chance to make things right; as the Dark Lord.

He's not to be blamed for his actions; it's humanity. They're pathetic existing made him the person he is and now he will be the one to rule over them and make them do WHAT he sees fit as right. Yes, why should he be only referred as the destroyer of life like all previous Dark Lords who died by the hands of a Dragon Knight. No! He will make the world into the perfect place he wants and ONLY what he views as right.

Finally smirking, Akumu vows as his brown eyes turn into a red, yellow pupil demonic dragon eyes. ''I will end this damn cycle all the Dark Lords before me failed to do and make this world a better place, my way!''

Dark General Knight nods wishing he can smirk for what his master seeks is a noble cause for the sickness that is humanity. Their actions create beings like themselves, evil, and that same evil will conquer them to better control their lives and existence like it should be.

''But first I will kill all those who stand in my way.'' The Dark Lord declares hissing, imagining Aizen and all those other misguided villains who will take his world. Those who stand on his side are those who are meant to see the beauty of his world like Robotnik or Plasmius. Just thinking about other villains made Akumu think of him… despair.

''And I will do it better than he could ever be.'' Akumu announces imagining a figure in the shadow and the only thing he could see through that darkness are moth-like wings, each one having a large demonic eye glowing ever so sinister that it made him tremble.

''The Darkness Emperor, brother, you will finally lose to me and see your own despair.'' Akumu states very relief he's no more. If he was alive… then all of his dreams are dead.

''And Yugi…'' Akumu begins saying only to freeze up looking at his reflection. He widens his eyes angrily seeing the boy instead of his own reflection and smiling, not one of mockery him but rather happy. This pissed off the Dark Lord so hard he slams his sudden transformed right claw into the window and thrusts it right through the glass, shattering only that part of it as the rest of the window cracked.

''I will kill you for simply being Eli Mutou's child, in love with my beloved niece and making me stared at that damn reflection!'' The Dark Lord vows angrily that the left side of his face morphed into that of the black scaled, dragon face of Dark Leader Dragon.

The dark general remains silent as his master adds with a dark tone, making sure his dreams come true and the boy and his pathetic friends die. ''I swear it.''

Yu-Gi-Oh!

Dragon Knight Reborn!

Volume 4:

Friends

I also want to be clear with this... Yugi doesn't have a best friend, he has true friends. This is what I like about Yugi, he cares deeply for those close to him and would always help them when they help him back... unlike a certain former "best" friend I rather not talk about. I want only a "true" friend, not a false "true" friend called a best friend. Those are not real friends. Just lies.

Another thing I should say this, Oragonking is a jerk and he has it coming. Oh no, just redo Volume 1. Here's the thing, I did that... AND I LOST FANS AND REVIEWERS! I'm not doing that again.

Sorry about the rants, I had a hard time before April.
