Volume 4: Episode 3: The Terrifying Imperial Empire!
In the previous episode of DKR:
Arriving in their first battlefield basically attacked before reaching their destination, Team Dragon Knight engaged an ambushed from the Imperial Empire squad with a lot of their new dangerous robot soldiers. However the team was not alone as Squad 7, already been informed of a possible ambush, were on the scene to assist the heroes.
Regardless, Yugi and the others were the ones to surprise Squad 7 with their powers and abilities especially Yugi who begun to developed and grow as a Dragon Knight. This goes for the older girl he met, Alicia, who felt somewhat strange by the young man's powers. The battle was shortly lived through the heroes combined effort, defeating the soldiers though not killing them being Yugi's style.
Once both groups get well acquainted with each other, Squad 7 leaded the heroes to the rest of the journey where their base was at unaware one robot soldier survived and managed to escape to inform its master of this problem.
Even though they kinda won their first battle, can Yugi and the rest of Team Dragon Knight handle the real threat of their mission and get along with Squad 7?
And now the conclusion... last left off in the previous episode:
Having flied to later dragged itself to a large castle within the palace of Randgriz which was now the Imperial's new base, a single robot that survive during the battle against Squad 7 and Team Dragon Knight arrive inside said castle to the front feet of a darkish figure covered in a dark hood cloak. The only thing visible of this figure is a pair of red, sharp pupil glowing eyes.
The figure only looks down at the machine and scans it using a device over it. Once it gets what he wants, he picks the destroyed machine up by the leg and drags it into a throne room. Once reaching the end of the throne room, he looks up at four figures and tosses the broken robot at the feet of one of them sitting on a royal-like throne.
''So one of your devices survived?'' Once a "nobody" of a prince to now king, Maximilian Gaius Von Reginrave, speaks sitting on his large throne as he had desire, what he continues to drive for. Wearing his royal white-golden Royal Imperial armor with a golden wreath over his head and a long cape, he stares with dark blue, unemotional eyes over the destroyed machine.
One of Maximilian's Drei Stern (Generals), Radi Jaeger, jokes around quite relaxed about this small downside. The dark tan man wears a dark brownish red variant of the Imperial general uniform with a metallic shoulder pad that resembles a dead bull attached on his arm.
''Poor little guy. I feel sad for the thing even if it is not alike.'' Jaeger expresses with a small concerning smirk at the poor robot that dragged itself back to just give the information of the enemy. That shows at least some honor.
Unamused, another of the Drei Stern, Berthold Gregor spoke most coldly. Wearing the proper Imperial general outfit, the old man mutters adjusting his hat and wielding his cane. Even though he was supposed to keep an eye on the young prince under the former king of the Empire, he did not expect things to turn like this but then again, as long as he is on the winning side then that is fine.
''I don't. It is a machine, nothing more.'' Gregor protests finding these machines are mindless and weak unlike real soldiers. Maximilian ignores the old man's comment with a cold look and instead turns to face his last general, asking her. ''What do you think Selvaria?''
Silently bowing, the most loyal of the Drei Stern, Selvaria Bles eyes her prince and the one she will obey and follow no matter where it takes her. With her long silver hair and bright red eyes, she knees wearing the black-red-golden Imperial general outfit though for female as she carries a rapier sword on her side attached to a golden belt around her waist.
''Whatever you suggest my King.'' The silver hared Valkyria speaks stern but happy for her now king.
''It seems this was the last survived by whatever it engaged.'' The dark figure states noticing the damage the robot sustain. He reveals a robotic hand and inserts some kind of metal tentacle into the destroyed robot, recovering its data and last recording. He then states almost robotic. ''Pity. However its memories will provide us what the enemy used to defeat them.''
He then raises his hand and unleashes a light almost like a screen revealing the destruction of his robots and the defeat of the human Imperial squad. Jaeger watches and then makes a small smirk recognizing Squad 7 there especially that brown hair girl with the red bandana. Selvaria also eyes the image of that girl, glaring firmly.
Gregor however scoffs angrily also noticing that among those Gallians are different people, children no less, actually destroying the robots and defeated their soldiers.
Maximilian did too however not at all unimpressive proclaiming. ''Those were not Gallian Soldiers. Most… interesting.''
''A bunch of children defeated our soldiers and those machines?! Nonsense!'' Gregor yells angrily protesting the fact their trained soldiers lost to infants.
''So these are the one Artemis have brought to challenge my empire?'' Maximilian then questions eyeing towards the dark figure. The figure had its sight towards Sonic, almost fixated on him purely.
''As you see yes my king.'' The figure finally speaks. The current king glares coldly at him. He was warned of this by him that their enemy would bring allies and was made clear not to make a move until they arrived to destroy all threats to him. Now that this ''prophecy'' came true, their true plans can commence.
''Everything is going as you warned me.'' Maximilian says with the figure bowing to him responding immediately. ''Of course it is my king and soon we will both get what we want.''
''No, I shall get what I want. That you will see.'' The king however corrects him turning his sight at the image of Yugi smiling after defeating his forces. Maximillian gazes on him aware exactly who he is and not at all frightened by this ''child''.
''Not even these fools will oppose me. I will make sure of that.'' Turning his back away from the image, Maximilian walks away to be left alone. Selvaria eyes the image of those who will oppose her king and she'll make sure none of them live for long.
Yugi and the rest of Team Dragon Knight look around as they arrived to what is the last military base of the Gallian Army with Squad 7 leading them here. The place look rather calm with no signs of war around though maybe it's the best because from what Mustang and Hughes explained was that all other Gallian Bases were vaporized. It is odd for Jenny, Kurosaki and Danny that these Imperials haven't destroyed this place. Maybe they can't locate it? They were told there are hidden mines around the base and a few snipers hidden to make sure if any robots do appear, they'll be shot down immediately before they can adapt or react.
Welkin eyes the tricolor head with a different look. While they were getting here, Mustang briefly explained that the young man who defeated the rest of the enemies was the Dragon Knight. Much like most times, not many of Squad 7 knew who that was. Alicia had a look like she had a feeling what it was but just as clueless. Welkin and to an extend Isara, both knew who that was. They remember their father speaking how he almost met death once during the war but he was saved by a mysterious stranger who went by the Dragon Knight even stating he said it with a determined smile on his face. Welkin never exactly asked what this man was and the only detail his father could tell him was that he wasn't a normal human, even as far as going he could have been a Valkyrur. But that was impossible.
He eyes the young man with strange hairstyle, wondering even more so about him. Welkin walks next to Yugi and gets his attention with a small smile. "Yugi correct?''
''Yup!'' Yugi replies rather energetic. Welkin eyes him rather astonished by this boy's positive nature even after he just battled the enemy completely differently. Regardless, he thanks him from earlier. ''Thank you for saving Alicia again. I don't know what the squad would do without her.''
Alicia blushes that comment though she tries to show like she didn't care… but Ichi did notice it making a mischievous smile.
''You don't have to thank me. I would have saved anyone if they were about to get killed by an evil killer robot.'' Yugi replies expressing he would have done it for anyone. That's who he is. Sonic nods firmly almost not paying attention but is by adding. ''Which they don't look like Egghead's designs at all.''
Danny hums thinking back how that crazy egg-size evil scientist's bots and they were nothing compare to the ones they fought just recently.
''Um, by any chance have you heard of Belgen Gunther before?'' Welkin then questions Yugi getting Isara's attention eyeing him too. The tricolor head blinks not sure he has heard that name before responding very honest. ''Um no? Is he a relative of yours?''
Welkin frowns a bit though Isara answers him honest with a look of sadness. ''Our late father… well, Onii-san's. He cared for us both and was a great hero in the last war. He died shortly after due to an illness just as he finally returned him.''
Yugi now frowns while Ed gives them a depressing look, reminded of his own mother and the illness that took her away from him and Al.
''Sorry to hear that Isara-kun. He must been someone special to you two.'' Yugi expresses to her able to relate similarity when Pegasus took his grandfather's soul to force him to join his tournament to claim the Millennium Puzzle. He knew if he lost to him or anyone, then the only other person in his family he cared for would be gone forever.
Isara eyes the young man and oddly smiles able to tell he means his words as well as not knowing she is a Darcsen. Possibly such a thing doesn't exist where he comes from. She nods to the tricolor head's kind words replying. ''He was. Other than Onii-san and my real father, he also cared about someone like me.''
Yugi nods smiling, though in the back of his head he questions why she would think like that unaware Rosie giving a glare at Isara.
Jenny then steps in smiling warmly and proclaims holding on her younger brother's shoulder. ''We both get that. Our parents died before I could have spoken to them.''
The tricolor head blushes unease for his sister to state that. Welkin and Isara then blink the two asking questionable. ''Wait, you two are-''
''Oh! So no one questioned we're not siblings huh?'' Jenny declares teasing that thought. Yugi though sweat drops again stating. ''Um I wouldn't think they didn't Onee-san.''
Jenny hums rubbing his spiky star-head in a carefree nature. Welkin oddly smiles not sure why but he could trust them. The same went for Isara smiling as she turns to face their tank properly store in the weapon station. She then says about it. ''In fact our father… and my real father help build the Edelweiss, the tank you all saw. It helped solve the last war, at least for a ceasefire.''
Yugi is surprised that same tank is still being used even today. It shows that it was built with a strong bond, something he can relate.
''I wanna drive it, ya know!'' Naruto outbursts excited to drive the thing around and see how it fires. Ichi shivers at the thought protesting upset. ''You'll probably crash it over us Nya!''
''I-I wouldn't!'' Naruto argues not going to do something so careless like that. Ichi crosses her arms and makes a firm expression like as if prove it. The spiky blond-headed shinobi hesitates to reply only to ultimately sigh agreeing. ''I would.''
Ichi smiles nodding as he would do something that careless. Judai just grins a bit a little glad he didn't say that first. Alicia sweat drops just amazed how weird these people are.
''Nice new friends Welkin.'' A voice speaks out getting Welkin and even Alicia's attention. Yugi and the others look and see probably the most handsome guy around with his wavy light brown hair and eyes. This guy, Faldio Landzaat, called out to Welkin. Jonouchi hums really admitting this guy is a "Pretty Boy" but in a good way unlike Rich Boy Kaiba.
''Oh Faldio!'' Welkin replies looking at his oldest and closest friend. Faldio smiles pretty relaxed stating. ''Glad to see and your squad still with us.''
Welkin nods noticing the unease stare in his friend's eyes, not to mention Naruto hums able to tell that smile was a front plus the baggy eyes.
''He's a friend of mines.'' Welkin explains to the group. Judai was the first to greet himself to the guy. ''Sup!''
Danny shakes his head pretty amazed he acts that cool where they're at. Faldio eyes them and then widens his eyes, almost as if he hasn't slept well to eye Jonouchi and speaks excitedly as if confusing him for the one he heard Squad 7 were saved by. ''Oh you must be him then, the Dragon Knight!''
Jonouchi sweat drops greatly not sure about that and corrects him. ''Eh? Me? I wouldn't say so. That would be Yugi.''
''Y-Yup, that would be me.'' Yugi agrees shyly a bit. Faldio startles a bit, eyeing the younger man kinda expecting someone not so young or timid.
Next to Faldio is Ramal Valt, a young boy under his Squad… or what remains of it. He is probably around Isara's age with dark greenish hair.
''You sure that's the so-called great hero Faldio-san? He's well-'' Ramal begins stating rather disappointed how not a hero or war hero should look like. Yugi sweat drops about to defend himself kindly. Before he could Ed steps up, questioning with an angry tone. ''He's what?! Oh you better not- OH YOU BETTER NOT CALLING ME THAT!''
Ramal startles as Ed gets up to his face, yelling in a rant almost instantly. ''CALL ME SMALL WHY DON'T YOU!''
Winry sweat drops as did Al, both sure what the kid said wasn't meant for Edward.
''He was referring about Yugi.'' Kurosaki states the obvious to the so-called smart Alchemist. Ed widens his eyes stunned muttering rather shock. ''Oh…''
Ramal sighs, though trembling, that someone like him would have such a temper, a State Alchemist no less. Jonouchi didn't have a name for the kid since... he eyes Ed concerning on how similar of a size the two are and that is all he'll say about it.
''Don't mind Ramal, he speaks his heart out.'' Faldio speaks for his young comrade and his naïve attitude. He then eyes at Yugi and greets him by shaking his hand. ''It's also nice to meet one who is a Dragon Knight. There was a brief history in the European War mentioning one such as yourself.''
''R-really?'' Yugi questions rather surprised but actually amazed. Could this have to do with another Dragon Knight or possibly his father?
''Faldio studies on past events for his research.'' Alicia explains to the tricolor head remembering how fascinated he is with the Valkyrias and that past that even those in Gallia aren't familiar with. Yugi blinks rather astonished.
''You or most likely the one before you was the reason the war was ceasefire.''Faldio tells the young man who startles that a Dragon Knight also decided to be involved here. Kinda like fate he would too. Still Yugi should ask him if he has a clue the name of that Dragon Knight was but before he could Welkin reminds his friend. ''Faldio, we should go see the commander. Colonel, follow us.''
Mustang was quiet along all of this finally speaking while eyeing Ed and the two Mutou siblings. ''I'll like Fullmetal, Yugi and Jennifer with us.''
''Thank you Colonel woof.'' Jenny thanks him oddly happy to be including almost like her dog nature forcing her to wag her butt. Ed gives a look of ''I feel sorry for you'' to Yugi who sweat drops.
''Well of course!'' Mustang responds not trying to look at Jenny's face but rather below her, staring at her cute yet sexy miniskirt. If the Flame Alchemist has a weakness; it's the necessary love for all women to wear miniskirts no matter what.
Hawkeye sighs at the Colonel's love for miniskirts, a trait she hates. Hughes and Armstrong try to have straight faces not wanting to be part of the Colonel's passion for miniskirts or else as they all follow the Colonel.
''Oh and Alicia, glad to see you're okay.'' Faldio then tells the young woman beside him. Alicia blushes really red smiling. Welkin blinks with Yugi and Ichigo both noticing something the two of them know pretty well.
Alicia bows now walking off for her own personal stuff. Ichi notices her leaving and hums to herself telling Yugi. ''So um we'll wait for you guys then Nya.''
Yugi nods smiling telling everyone especially Naruto and Jonouchi. ''You guys don't get in trouble.''
Jonouchi just nods firmly still unease. Yugi smiles as he, Jenny and Edward follow Mustang and the two Gallian commanders elsewhere.
Emile and Oscar then take their chance to jump in between Danny and Naruto and ask them excitedly. ''TELL US ABOUT YOURSELVES!''
Danny sweat drops more while Kurosaki is relief he's not included. Naruto, however, grins excitedly speaking out. ''You bet! And I'm starving!''
Winry sweat drops deciding to follow Isara very much curious about the tank. Isara giggles happy to have someone who appreciates the mechanic of tanks.
Alicia frowns at what she feels inside. With her feelings about Welkin and Faldio, to those kids and now this strange sensation in her body; it's all crazy to her. She tries to put that aside by doing what she loves best; baking bread. She hums making the bread dough happily.
''What'cha you doing Nya?'' Alicia suddenly panics as a voice speaks and something touches her shoulder.
''AW!'' Alicia yelps causing her to drop the dough on the ground. She turns arming herself with a baking tool only to startle that it's Ichigo, smiling with embarrassing red blushes. Alicia pants relaxing a little, taken back how she sneaked up behind her.
''D-DON'T sneak behind me… um-'' Alicia begins to discipline the girl's action but she never really asked her name before. Ichigo blushes getting what she's trying to say and greets herself. ''It's Ichigo, Ichigo Momomiya Nya! I never introduce myself.''
Alicia just eyes her blushing just as embarrassed. She looks down to see the dough and sighs trying to pick it up and throw it, not wanting anyone to get sick by bad dough now. Ichigo really feels bad about her actions apologizing to her. ''Sorry I startled you Alicia-chan.''
''Sure.'' Alicia replies somewhat hostile though she tries not to show it. Ichigo blushes still bad wanting to get to know her.
''Making bread Nya?'' Ichigo asks her smiling as she's seen many times how Keiichiro makes bread to know what she's doing. Alicia eyes her suspicious by the girl's smiling expression at first and finally answers her honestly. ''I'm a bread maker. I was taught to make the best bread ever!''
Ichigo oddly purrs wanting to take a bite on the bread that her tail is wagging. She asks her with a kitty-like face. ''Amazing Nya! Hey, can I help too Nya?''
Alicia sweat drops by the girl's current face, really wanting to say no but if she does then Ichigo might cry or feel bad, like a cat strangely enough. Shame she's not far from the truth if not the special ring that hides Ichigo's cat features from others who can't notice them.
''Um I guess if you want.'' She replies causing Ichigo to let out a giggle nodding rapidly. Alicia just lets out a sigh letting her come next to her. The red cherry head giggles rushing next to her.
The two begin making new dough with Ichigo studying how amazingly Alicia is prepping hers without pausing or hesitating in her choices, unlike herself. Alicia leans a bit seeing Ichigo's progress and makes a sympathetic expression how messy her dough is. Regardless, it still looks good showing she does put love in her baking.
Taking about a few more minutes, the two slide their dough inside a 24-hole tray inside an old timing oven. The two let out a sigh now waiting unaware Ichigo puts her in a hotter temperature.
Ichigo hums a bit eyeing Alicia pretty sure this is her chance to ask her something personal since they were alone.
''So you and Welkin-kun Nya?'' The red cherry girl begins asking and immediately Alicia widens her eyes and yells loudly yet nervously. ''W-WE'RE NOT SOMETHING!''
Ichigo just smiles reminded of how she used to react too. She then asks again rather cocky. ''Are you Nya? Or is it that Faldio guy?''
Alicia's cheeks turn red trying to act more like an adult and responds with her arms crossed. ''You're too young to understand these things about relationships or serious romance.''
''… I had two boyfriends; a very sweet environment kendo master that's sort of not human-human and my current one being a kind yet courageous nerd who's part dragon and being a hero who both would die for me and Yugi-kun did Nya.'' Ichigo, acting rather more mature than Alicia, protests revealing her own romantic relationships with Masaya and now with Yugi. Alicia tries not to react to what she heard and utters though stun. ''… Touché.''
Ichigo giggles knowing she would win and questions her getting closer. ''So do you like them both or?''
Alicia eyes the young girl really confused by her nature or how she acts. So this is what teenagers used to be. Still she questions her back. ''Why are you asking? This is none of your business.''
''It's not but those feelings will get to you, one way or another. You may be thinking it's not necessary but being someone who went through them; you should clear those thoughts immediately.'' Ichigo replies admitting Alicia is right but also in this case I can be bad too.
She's reminded of her feelings between Masaya and Yugi and that even caused the two to fight and worst, Deep Blue to surface as well. She lost Masaya during that time, attacked her friends because she was afraid to harm Masaya even Yugi and ultimately her tricolor head died protecting her. Even though that was resolved, those memories, those events; Ichigo must never let her own feelings cloud her judgement ever again and do her best for not just her needs but of her friends and the world.
''Trust me.'' Ichigo mutters with a somewhat sadden tone, knowing this will break anyone too. Alicia eyes her unease but actually believes her. Admitting, Alicia had her feelings confuse her between the two boys but she pushed those thoughts aside. Maybe, after hearing Ichigo went through the same, maybe she should tell hers and possibly evade a similar outcome.
Sighing deeply, Alicia begins explaining herself to the girl before her. ''I… I don't know what to feel. Faldio is amazing and he always has a lot of attention on me… Welkin… well…''
''He's clueless Nya?'' Ichigo guesses leaving Alicia amazed she's right. She responds. ''Somewhat yes. He just loves his bugs more.''
Ichigo sweat drops somewhat relief Yugi just likes games than insects. She giggles answering. ''I kinda know the feeling Nya… but does he care for you in some deeper way?''
Alicia thinks about it, recalling the times she and Welkin were together and during those times she felt this strange sensation.
''Well…'' She begins to say only to stop as she catches a strange smell. She sniffs and turns to Ichigo's back and gasping yelling in shock. ''AW ICHIGO!''
Ichigo blinks now just smelling the strange scent. She turns and yells in terror watching the oven burning black smoke. ''NYA?!''
The two quickly splash water on the fire of the oven, turning it off. Alicia checks and sighs pulling out the black burned loafs of bread. Ichigo sweat drops amazed her senses didn't warn her of burning bread. Guess her cat senses are only good to evade danger, not this.
''Wow, burned bread brings me back.'' Judai proclaims poking his head behind the two girls. Alicia startles jumping with Ichigo not so surprise hearing his footstep sooner.
''D-DO YOU WEAR A BELL?!'' Alicia questions angrily feeling like her heart would shoot out of her chest. Judai just grins answering as he points at the bell collar neck around Ichigo's neck. ''Nope, that's Ichigo-chan's thing.''
Ichigo sighs admitting he's not wrong. Alicia makes a face while throwing the burned bread sad about it. Judai notices it and asks her. ''Mind if I help out?''
''You'll probably burn it?'' Alicia proclaims really not going to let another batch of bread to be destroyed by the hands of a stranger. Judai just smirks stating with a soft smile. ''Try me.''
She eyes him and not sure why but nods to his request. ''Fine but if you burned it, you eat it.''
''Hehe, deal!'' Judai replies rather relaxed about it. After all, he ate stale and once moldy bread once in the Osiris dorm… not great times.
Alicia observes firmly at the strange young man how he'll prep and ruin the dough and baking of the bread… only to be stunned as Judai not only did the dough amazingly but then baked the loafs of bread amazingly well. Ichigo giggles having lived with the future duelist to know he's learned how to cook from others to do them himself.
''Huh? Not bad.'' Alicia comments rather impressed by the brown-orange headed. Judai grins stating it. ''Told you.''
''Judai-kun is a mystery Nya.'' Ichigo adds amazed how Judai functions sometimes but it's always a nice surprise.
Alicia tries to smile a bit admitting these guys aren't as weird as she thought of them… Ichigo a little bit but Judai is just bizarre.
Yugi watches rather unease but mostly confused how he, Jenny and Ed are waiting on a bench to see this current commander for the Gallian Army with Welkin who's studying a dung beetle he found. The tricolor head watches him take notes on the insect. He can tell Welkin likes this but this reminds Yugi of Haga… someone he doesn't wish to ever be friends with being a complete backstabber.
''Do you always study bugs?'' Yugi asks him trying to smile. Welkin at first ignores him but he's actually writing something on his small book and then he answers him even apologizing. ''Sorry, I couldn't resist studying this dung beetle. Do you know beetles possess such amazing strength for a little insect.''
Jenny tries not to sweat drop though she admits his hobby isn't harmful but creepy. The same way Ed felt too trying not to look.
''Welkin-kun, may I ask you something as we're waiting for your commander?'' Yugi asks him wanting to know something. He shouldn't ask him that but a part of him wants to know.
Welkin eyes him now releasing the dung beetle to its journey. He replies. ''I supposed that's fine. What is it?''
Yugi nods asking him. ''It's just what your friend meant about Alicia-san?''
Jenny eyes the two having also noticed that Alicia showed a romantic care for that Faldio though before Yugi saved her Welkin yells to her trying to save her himself.
''Faldio? He's always like that. It doesn't surprise me.'' Welkin responds rather neutral. Ed didn't say anything about this but he can tell the guy is obviously not meaning what he's saying; he can tell from his eyes.
''…'' Yugi just eyes him silently oddly not sure but finds this familiar in a sense.
''Reminds you of someone huh partner?'' The tricolor head blinks turning to see Atem saying that telepathically in spirit form, smirking as he floats with his arms crossed. Yugi hums thinking and probably replying. ''A bit.''
''Still reminds me of a certain soft meat bag.'' Yin Dragon then proclaims giving a look at Yugi who stares back somewhat annoy. Yang Dragon sweat drop smiling a bit that his other half isn't wrong.
The door opens as Faldio comes out and calls out to the group waiting. ''Hey, you all can come in now.''
Ed sighs getting up and declares. ''Well let's go.''
Yugi and Jenny nod as they with Welkin enter an office for a commander with a large table already set with pins showing what the Imperial Empire has under their control and what remains of Gallia. Yugi looks up to see Mustang and his group with someone else who is sitting with her arms over the table and her hands holding each other.
The only superior remaining of Gallia, Eleanor Varrot, speaks to the group. She has black hair tied up neatly in a professional bun style while wearing a pair of glasses. She looks at the group having been told of the situation from Mustang but what surprise her is seeing the young man with purple eyes; the same she hasn't seen in a long time. Even the young woman beside him has the same purple eyes, meaning they're both his children.
''He looks exactly like-'' The woman begins to state only for Mustang to interrupt her telling her. ''I told you didn't I Eleanor.''
She sighs adjusting her glasses and responds. ''I supposed so Mustang.''
''Know each other?'' Ed speaks out loud rather suspicious. He's aware Mustang had been in Gallia before during the first war but it was temporary. Mustang just smirks commenting. ''Past details Fullmetal. Nothing to speak about.''
Edward hums even more curious. Yugi then speaks up eyeing the woman in the chair. ''So um you are the General basically?''
"At the moment, yes. You may call me the moment Captain Eleanor Varrot. Just Varrot-san is what you can call me.'' The woman Eleanor introduces herself calmly and professional. Jenny oddly smiles liking this lady.
''Nice to meet you too ma'am, I'm Yugi-'' The tricolor head tries to greet her but Eleanor stops him and states. ''I'm aware who you are young man. No need to be polite.''
Yugi sweat drops with Jenny giggling again stating it. ''It's a habit of ours Varrot-san.''
''The situation is that bad then?'' Ed then speaks out demanding. Eleanor nods looking at the map speaking. ''Allow me to explain.''
''We'll have to anyway ma'am.'' Jenny expresses not worry of what they should learn. Eleanor eyes the youth and nods telling them firmly. ''Very well but you will know this is much grim.''
Yugi just smiles having went through a lot, not afraid what comes at him or his friends. As long as they fight together with their new allies, nothing is impossible.
''We'll handy it. You can count on us!'' Yugi vows not going to run away. Eleanor eyes the young man and nods to his wishes though she hopes he doesn't have a change of heart. Thus she along with Welkin and Faldio explain their situation at full detail and their plan to end the war, hopefully.
After an hour of conversation, the group walks out from the room with Yugi having an unease, pale expression written all over him.
''…'' Yugi says nothing just silent almost afraid to speak out due to what he learned.
''I was wrong.'' The tricolor head states from his earlier comment wishing he never jinx himself.
What exactly did Yugi and the others learn of their situation? Find that out in just a moment.
Commercial Break:
Alicia: I will admit having some help baking bread for everyone is helpful.
Jenny: Oh… I think my little brother had a meltdown. Better cheer him up somehow woof.
Team Dragon Knight with Squad 7 waits for their leaders' return and did explaining what's going to be the plan. Ichi and the others eye Yugi rather disturb with the frozen, freaked out expression he had earlier if not thanks to Alicia's bread which brings back his regular nature fill with joy.
''This bread helps from the sadness I learned.'' Yugi expresses happily taking another bite of the bread. Everyone else in Team Dragon Knight also tries the bread and finds it like as if an angel made it. Naruto liked it a lot… not as great as ramen and Sonic imagined eating this bread as a bun for a chili dog.
''We baked it Nya!'' Ichi expresses just as happy to see the tricolor head happy. A grunt came from Alicia giving a firm look at the red cherry head. Ichi panics and actually reveals nervously. ''I-I mean Alicia and Judai did while I tried to stay away from the baking hehe…''
"Our problem is that bad?'' Kurosaki changes the subject wanting detail of their task here.
Jenny frowns serious as she explains what they learned. ''This is Gallia's last line. They've lost the majority of their forces after the Imperials unleashed those robots at them. They don't have other bases except this one while the enemy has every place under their control, even the capital. Their main base was destroyed including the deaths of many as well as the main general and lower rank ones. So yes, our problem IS bad.''
Jonouchi sighs not expecting this to turn this ugly which also explains why Yugi had that face. Alicia frowns at the group admitting this has never turned so one-sided. Back then as much as three weeks ago, it was just beating the Imperials and anything they threw at them. Now, it is them surviving by killer machines that have took the lives of so many Gallian Soldiers. It angers her how powerless she and the others of Squad 7 are right now that their homes are all endanger of vanishing.
''We still have to keep fighting.'' Alicia startles looking up at Yugi saying that. He smiles one second worry but now he's fine as if he can't let this break him. He eyes Alicia and smiles at her adding. ''We'll do our best to fix all this Alicia-san. You have our word!''
Ichigo giggles nodding with Judai grinning in agreement. The others soon follow eyeing her. Alicia blushes just nodding. Welkin smiles kinda thankful they've made allies with them even if they're younger.
''It's not Robotnik's type to kill right?'' Danny then asks Sonic since he knows his archenemy well and seeing Eggman a few times with Vlad already tells him he's not capable of this, kinda. Sonic hums taking another bite on the bread as he says with a mouth full. ''Egghead is always about conquest but he wouldn't kill… well not unless he had a good reason or robotized everyone.''
''So it's someone else?'' Danny theorizes with Judai questions really curious. ''Who though?''
Sonic thinks about it and just shrugs his shoulders responding without a full mouth. ''Don't know yet.''
Yugi hums by that wondering if Sonic had a clue who this could be or not. Still, whoever is helping the Imperials is dangerous to go this far.
''Um…'' Edy tries speaking up though hesitates a bit eyeing the commander who might get upset about the subject. Jonouchi however demands pretty chill. ''What's up Tsundere?''
Edy sweat drops not sure how to react but the guy is pretty right about her nature.
Yugi sweat drops by that. Apparently Jonouchi has been given each member of Squad 7 a nickname just so he doesn't need to remember all their names. As he said just now, he nicknamed Edy as a tsundere. He also refers Homer as Shy Guy because he's easily shy with Edy agreeing. Lynn would be nicknamed Tougher Isara… or Toughy.
Emile and Oscar are referred as the twins. Jann… well Jonouchi respects that he's a man but much feminine to say anything else. Karl would be Glasses, Susie would be Princess… Rosie… Jonouchi already dubbed her Freckles. Marina would be Emo… just because. Naruto agreed on that.
The only nickname he ever gave that was cool to would be Largo calling him Badass Geezer. Obviously Largo laughed about it liking that one.
He dubs Isara Tank Girl… oddly enough he didn't like that for her and called her Tank Poncho. Isara blushes not sure why but liked that one.
Alicia's nickname would be Bread Maker… because that's what she does. Welkin's however is one Jonouchi isn't so sure on not wanting to call him anything to do with Bug as a reminded of Haga and much like Yugi he doesn't like the little freak. So he called him Weirdo to himself since Jonouchi knows better to not show disrespect to the squad commander.
On second thought Jonouchi struggle what to call Vyse. He was pretty much a strange outside even to his squad which is strange even in that. The same went for Aisha not sure what Jonouchi can call her… he did dub Faldio as Pretty Boy.
''Like I was going to say, it's a good thing Varrot-san is the one leading what remains of us and not Damon.'' Edy resumes to what she were saying which causes the other members of Squad 7 to oddly agree. Yugi and the others blink not sure who that is.
"Damon-kun?'' Yugi questions curious who that is. Alicia sighs explaining it while eyeing her comrade. ''The General for all of the Gallian Army and Edy, I know this is spoken ill for the dead but yes, him not here is actually better.''
Edy blushes, nodding that Alicia is right.
''So he's that much of a jerk.'' Naruto asks now curious about it. Everyone in Squad 7 felt the same how that Damon was to them and especially to Welkin.
''He's a big fatso who prefers to take the credit and hog it.'' Emile expresses upset reminded how he would take credit of the time they free a town and it was all his idea, not Welkin's who planned that. Oscar nods adding just as mad. ''And he did not like us, send us in reckless attacks on the Empire that we would have died multiple times and-''
''That's enough!'' Welkin suddenly speaks out loud. The two siblings shiver as their commander states calmly but firm. ''Even if he didn't like us, we shouldn't speak ill to the dead just like Alicia stated.''
Alicia eyes him knowing he doesn't mean it like that, even Welkin hated how General Damon commanded the military and his need to be the real hero even sending others to die not caring but regardless Welkin knows he was still their superior and it would be in a way wrong to treat him as such.
''S-sorry sir!'' Emile and Oscar both apologize to Welkin who sighs smiling and accepts their apology with a nod. A little part of him does admit Damon dead is a good thing, though not as far as to state it. Welkin then states. ''It is a shame he died as well as the others above our ranks but right now we must keep going to save our homeland.''
The others in Squad 7 agree with their brave and kind commander.
''Yugi-kun might not have liked him though Nya.'' Ichi states eyeing the tricolor head. Yugi thinks about the facts he got about this Damon so far and responds. ''Well I never met him but pretty sure I would not like him if he's willing to kill others for his personal gain.''
Ichi smiles figuring he would say that as did Jonouchi. Jenny also smiles also would have acted like that too.
''So what's the plan then to save Gallia?'' Alphonse asks his brother. Ed eyes Jenny if she wants to explain the so-called plan and she nods happily stating it. ''Well we need to restore a few towns towards Randgriz, the capital of Gallia and where the Imperials have completely taken over. Once we do that, we can launch a large final attack and once we put down the Imperial's king, the fight should be over since the soldiers won't have their leader guiding them.''
Jonouchi grunts by such a dumb plan that he expresses it. ''I really hate war BECAUSE THAT IS NOT HOW IT WORKS!''
''Fine, then you preferred to take back all the towns for 2-3 years if not more?'' Ed then proclaims gazing at the dirty colored blond headed. Jonouchi freezes up to hear that, realizing the squirt wasn't kidding. He shivers being here any longer than half a year.
''… I don't.'' Jonouchi admits his mistake with a sigh. Ed nods adding it pretty well. ''And we've picked our poison and it's better than nothing.''
Danny makes an unease look not sure if poison should be a good word to describe their position.
Rosie eyes them even more annoyed how these kids think they know anything about what they're about to fight and handle it like they did before. They don't know anything as she speaks up. ''Even better, we'll likely die because of you kids.''
Yugi and the others eye the redhead with Ichigo speaking for the group with a peppy tone. ''Well we can surprise you Nya. Right Isara-chan?''
Isara startles that the red cherry head girl would include her like that nervously utter. ''Huh? I-I suppose so.''
Ichigo giggles but this annoys Rosie more grunting. ''Tch. Asking her is a waste of time.''
Now this has annoyed Kurosaki hearing this woman almost insulting her own comrade like that. He calls out to Rosie demanding. ''Oi, what the hell is your problem with her anyway?''
Rosie glares at him but before Kurosaki could take a step forward Yugi stops him.
''Kurosaki-san, you don't-'' The tricolor head tries convincing the orange-headed Ichigo to not pick a fight with their allies like this but Kurosaki protests explaining himself while he glares at the woman. ''It's alright Yugi. I want to know why she's picking on her own teammate. It's pissing me off.''
''You kids don't know anything, not even one of the reasons why we're fighting the Empire.'' Rosie however states firmly as she glares at Isara.
Danny raises an eyebrow not sure where this is leading so he asks. ''Oh yea, educate us then?''
Each member of Squad 7 were going to say something to stop Rosie from saying anything especially Largo knowing her hot temper but Jenny reveals it to everyone sadden. ''It's because Isara-kun is this Darcsen right?''
This surprises Squad 7 while leaving the rest of Team Dragon Knight confused, even Judai thinking she said Danish pastry, really in a mood to eat one.
Jenny sighs explaining herself. ''Varrot-san was nice enough to tell us that during the meeting and that's a terrible excuse to hate another race too woof!''
Naruto blinks really more confused asking with his hand up. ''Why is that?''
Winry eyes Isara and smiles pleading with her. ''Isara, you can tell them.''
Ed and Al startle up eyeing their old friend. She eyes them and states recalling the time she got to know Isara while sharing stuff about mechanics and Automails. ''She told me already and it's silly.''
Isara blushes somewhat amazed by Winry's kind nature that and she can expresses her love for tank especially the Edelweiss.
Letting out a calm breath in and then out, Isara explains it to the group with her determined eyes. ''Well… it's because the Darcsen as far as everyone thinks of us are savages fighting among each and the Valkyrurs were the ones who stopped us and created peace.''
''… WTF?'' Almost everyone, mainly Jonouchi, Kurosaki and Naruto, yell out just left horrifying surprise. Judai blinks really taken back as did Danny. Sonic was also startle though he asks the obvious question. ''Valkyrurs? Like Valkyrias? The real deal?''
Welkin frowns eyeing Faldio who immediately walks away, reminded of his own task at hand. He says sighing a bit. ''Those are just myths, in a way.''
''They were treated as Gods. Regardless, they vanished one day and the rest of Gallia blamed it on all Darcsen thus why our race is that hated.'' Isara resumes revealing why everyone in Gallia hates her kind.
Now knowing the truth, a fire built up and Jonouchi immediately grabs Rosie by the arm angrily and yells more enraged than Kurosaki was. ''WHAT THE HELL FRECKLES! She is your teammate and you treat her that coldly?! Just because her people made one BAD MISTAKE OR NONE?''
Rosie startles by his reaction actually thinking he would take her side but did the opposite effect. Danny isn't surprise as after all the Japanese helped the Nazi in War World 2 and since then Japan, having been nuked basically, learned their mistake and errors. And thanks to that Japan and the US are in good terms somewhat similar to this ''story''. But he's sure that's not the reason why Jonouchi is reacting the way he is.
''WHAT OF THE REST OF YOU!'' Jonouchi demands loudly towards the rest of Squad 7. Each member, almost all of them scared, begins shaking their heads not at all against Darcsen.
Rosie glares had it with this guy and pulls Jonouchi's hand off her right away. She then threatens him annoy. ''Stop meddling like you're better than us punk!''
''And let you treat Isara like not human! Hell no! You know what I call you: racist!'' Jonouchi declares angrily causing Rosie to become stun, frozen to be called such a thing. Everyone else is also left shock, well almost everyone.
''I agree.'' Kurosaki mutters out with Naruto nodding rapidly with his arms crossed. Yugi and Ichi sweat drop pretty sure that calling someone like that as a racist isn't a good word for anyone especially with how this place functions.
''Jonouchi-kun please. We shouldn't fight even though what you said about treating others differently is wrong.'' Yugi speaks up to his best friend also not wanting their groups to hate each other. Jonouchi eyes his friend somehow realizing what he's saying and admits he can be right.
''Yugi…'' He mutters out, letting out a sigh and nods not going to fight anymore. Yugi forms a smile happy that he has a friend like him though Jonouchi wouldn't be like not if not for him.
Welkin smiles at the two knowing he has to straight this mess too turning to Rosie and orders her firmly. ''Rosie, the same goes for you. This hate between you and my sister must stop or-''
''Nii-san, it's okay.'' Welkin startles interrupted and turns towards Isara who just spoke up. She eyes him calmly telling him just as calm not just her brother but Jonouchi and the others. ''Really, it's okay. Please don't interfere or any of you please.''
Jonouchi eyes the girl noticing how kind Isara was much like Yugi. Guess what Yugi said before wasn't at all farfetched: The Quiet Ones are the wisest.
''I'm thankful, but this is between me and Rosie so please.'' Isara pleads with everyone, not wanting this to become anything more than separating the group. Also she has faith that she and Rosie can still become close comrades even under their differences.
Rosie, however, blushes angrily at the thought that she's being defended by the very race that cost the death of her parents. Regardless she coughs and walks away. Largo sighs also hoping those two resolve their problems.
Jonouchi watches the red head leave and admits he has a new like for Ichigo right now. He mutters out looking at Isara. ''I hate Freckles… but I like you Poncho.''
Isara blushes by the comment though she also wishes he doesn't hate one in her squad. Hopefully they can all be allies eventually, at least work together when the time comes.
''Well that was an interesting scene.'' A voice suddenly speaks up alerting the group especially Ichigo freaking out like the cat she is.
Revealing herself from behind a tree, Gallian reporter Irene Ellet shows herself waving at the group who she was spying on. She is short blonde hair woman with a pair of glasses as she has on a flower pattern cap and wears simple white blouse and pants, carrying a few strap bags and an old photo camera.
''For strangers as such as yourselves, I do comment you all show care even to the Darcsen makes me want to get an interview.'' The woman begins stating with a small grin holding up her camera. Immediately Jonouchi swings a broom out of nowhere at her while yelling. ''Away Media, away!''
Everyone watches this sweat dropping as the blonde haired woman tries dodging the broom's swinging. Eventually Ichi and Judai manage to pull the broom away from Jonouchi's hands as Sonic was just enjoying the show a bit.
''Irene-san!'' Alicia calls out to the woman who waves at her. Welkin is surprised she's here but then again he heard even her newspaper was destroyed by the Imperial's attack. He figured she must have escape being that she's not just some reporter but is surprised she's here just when the Colonel of Artemis arrived along with his allies.
''How did you-'' Welkin questions how she's here but Irene just winks stating the obvious like any reporter. ''Oh I have my connections.''
Indeed she did as Irene learned that Artemis was finally asked to help its sister counter from the Empire once and for all and she even knew the Colonel Roy Mustang wouldn't arrive alone. Irene eyes Yugi and his group and hums not expecting them to be young but from what she gathered around the base, these people were able to destroy the enemy's killing machines that have destroyed all but what small remains of the Gallian Army it has. It's an impressive feat… even if these people are younger than almost all of Squad 7.
''So you're who the Artemis Colonel Mustang brought over to help our poor country?'' Irene questions Yugi right in front of him while holding a small book to take any information for her article. Even if Gallia is surely not doing well, it is still her job to provide whatever news to help or comfort the people.
''A little much to ask us lady?'' Danny proclaims trying to pull Yugi a bit away from the reporter. Irene immediately responds pretty professional by taking a quick snap of the group. ''Someone has to. Being a journalist means I have to be hopeful for any news I get, especially to Gallia.''
Jenny nods agreeing with her though she needs to be certain what she wants with them. So she questions her stepping in front of her. ''What's the first rule?''
Irene raises an eyebrow by this young woman and obviously responds without any hesitation. ''To gather the correct information of course. A true journalist must always find the facts and preach them to all those who wish to listen.''
Jenny smiles by her answer and greets herself by raising her hand towards her. ''Jennifer Mutou, reporter from my home.''
Surprise to fine a reporter like herself, Irene expresses joy shaking her hand responding. ''Oh a fellow reporter! Irene Ellet, my pleasure.''
The two oddly giggle shaking hands. Everyone else sweat drops not sure what just happened.
''So um you're just getting information on us or?'' Yugi asks a little taken back from this. Jenny and Irene stop shaking as the Gallian reporter answers him. ''Something like that, though I'm pretty concern why you bunch? I can tell you're not soldiers so the reason for a Colonel of a strong country like Artemis to bring you all here is suspicious enough to get the details.''
Jenny oddly agrees with her that such a mystery is like a drug that journalists carve for. Though she does tell Irene in a way to show Yugi and the others aren't what they seem. ''You can't judge a book by its cover.''
Irene actually startles and realizes such an important thing. Yes, these kids who destroyed those machines that have slaughter so many Gallian Soldiers aren't what they seem meaning they could be as powerful as even the Empire's Azure Witch tale.
''Very excellent point Jennifer!'' Irene tells her thankful for her words. Jenny giggles correcting her kindly. ''My friends call me Jenny. How about I tell you each one of us and then you get some personal information from each member of Team Dragon Knight starting with me of course.''
Irene nods happily. Yugi notices that his sister is basically making sure everyone else doesn't get attacked out of nowhere by this reporter asking them a hundred question sand possibly getting too much or weird information from the rest, namely Naruto probably declaring his ''I will be Hokage'' speech or Kurosaki and Danny explaining their powers.
Jonouchi however sweat drops that Yugi's older sister thinks she's a member of Team Dragon Knight. He bumps Yugi's arm and whispers into his ear. ''Yugi, you didn't tell your sister she's not part of our team?''
Yugi just shivers at the idea to correct her that she's not a member to enrage her… and no doubt getting hit by her pan.
''Anyway, I'll return to get an exclusive from each one of you and how you all plan to save our country and our princess.'' Irene tells the group excitedly to ask them many questions especially Yugi who sweat drops heavily. Judai then blinks asking. ''Wait princess?''
''Oh right, that Princess Cordelia.'' Ed says rather unimpressed. The rest of Team Dragon Knight just gives him a look like they had no idea who that was.
''Well good thing I have this.'' Irene says pulling out a photo from her bag and gives it to the group. They look at the photo as it shows the image of the princess in her blueish-white dress though covering her whole and the large and weird looking animal ear-like hat that covers her entire head.
Alicia frowns wondering how the princess was doing. When Randgriz fell, she was captured. As far as she's aware, she's not dead but also not alive as far as they know. If she did died, no doubt that man Maximillian would have executed her in public and announce it in some way.
''What the heck is she wearing? No offense.'' Danny asks trying to be polite just as weirded out by this princess' taste of outfits.
Irene hums adjusting her glasses and reveals to the group to tell them. ''Reason why is it's said that the princess is a descendant to the Valkyrur, a Valkyria for short.''
The group eyes her rather convince though Ed hesitates such an idea that godly beings like those exist… then again he fought a pink hair freak with voodoo-mystic powers.
''… Then why not call them all Valkyrias then Nya?'' Ichi asks rather confused by the two different names. Even she has to admit why not call them both one thing than two different things to confuse them.
'Anyway… As far as we know, the princess is captured by the current king of Imperial Empire, Maximillian.'' Irene then says with rather sadness. Alicia frowns again remembering how she met the princess and she's a good person. She can only pray she's still alive.
''So from what Varrot-san told us, Randgriz was taken by this Maximilian-kun and it's his main base.'' Yugi repeats what Irene said though puzzle why this king would take the castle of their enemy. It makes sense though there must be another reason behind it.
Alicia sweat drops by Yugi's honorifics for someone as cold as that Maximilian. She's pretty convinced at this point Yugi thinks of himself superior over others but then again his nature is completely the opposite.
''Max-who?'' Judai and Naruto both utter out not having a clue who that is. Ed sighs gladly explaining it. "Prince to now King of the Imperial Empire. As far as we were told, he killed his father the former king and his siblings after gaining his robot army.''
''We've met him before said events and his personal bodyguard.'' Welkin adds still remembering when he, Alicia and Faldio confronted the two in those ruins and witness how much hate the former prince had. Alicia nods somewhat sadden as she adds remembering her too. ''The Azure Witch, Selvaria.''
''The Azure Witch? Who the hell is that? Is she hot?'' Jonouchi asks both unsure but excited to see her. Welkin sweat drops recalling her and she may loot ''attractive'' but she's as deathly if not more as a pistol or rifle.
Alicia makes a face reminded of that woman… and how strange but familiar her face is to her. It's like she's met her before but she can't remember from where but her heart; it's telling her to remember it. Alicia doesn't understand it, no less the strange pain in her head just now.
''I rather not say it in front of the reporter here.'' Alicia proclaims giving a look at Irene not wanting her to know much about her. Welkin agrees recalling how powerful the Azure Witch is during that small conflict.
Irene hums greatly insulted by that comment as was Jenny who's curious who this Azure Witch was as both a reporter herself and wanting to know their enemy.
''At any rate, we have to prepare to save the first town and make our route to saving Randgriz, and I'm supposed to help prepare the attack plan.'' Yugi announces rather unenergetic. This surprises everyone in Team Dragon Knight not aware of this especially Jonouchi cursing out angrily. ''WTF. Why?! Yugi is not a general! He's the nicest person I know that wouldn't kill someone or more than one!''
Edward actually agrees with him even speaking out during the meeting but Mustang naturally protest stating his reasons that Yugi is the best strategist in their group so he can make at least a plan or two to help end the war in some way. This just reminds him of the test or well LIE that Yugi was the enemy and he had to take his sword without any question. It honestly pisses Ed off muttering mad. ''Mustang says so. Test or something dumb.''
Ichi frowns eyeing the tricolor head and asks him concerning. ''Yugi-kun, are you sure about this Nya?''
Yugi eyes her and just smiles replying. ''I'll find a way. I-''
However he then hesitates realizing if he can really make a plan then he could be killing more lives than stopping them. He doesn't want the Imperials to die either. They have lives much as the Gallians but if he doesn't then they'll be dead and this country will not be free of war. All of this is more than Yugi could handle.
''I hope.'' Yugi tells himself doubtful, not sure right now. And then an idea pops out of his head, wondering if maybe he does.
Yugi must now set up the kind of strategy he needs to make in order to be ready for the next battles up ahead. Can he accomplish such a task without getting themselves killed?
However…
''Oink!'' Yugi blinks snapping out from his worries and looks down. Ichi also looks down and between them is a cute and small pink pig… with wings. Ichigo purrs as she picks the pig up and cuddles it.
''Cute piggy Nya!'' The red cherry head declares amazingly by how cute it is and soft too. The pink oinks joyfully by this girl's warm and able to tell she's part animal. Yugi watches with Jonouchi popping behind his back and widens his eyes seeing the wings on the pig. He tries to tug them and the pig oinks upset confirming his suspicious.
''With wings… WTF?!'' The dirty colored blond headed shouts in horror not believing this. Alicia sighs not surprise by this and explains it. ''Oh that's just Hans. In Gallian, there are piglets, basically pigs with wings.''
''AND THE BUG GUY STUDIES BUGS AND NOT THIS THING THAT SHOULDN'T EXIST?!'' Jonouchi, still overwhelmed by this, yells not understand any of this anymore. Alicia sighs really ''amazed'' by these people.
''…'' Judai eyes Hans who oinks happily at him. He smiles a bit though the name is something for once Judai doesn't like. It just gives him a flashback of his travels around the world before these events of landing in the past, again, and he was getting a ride on Germany… and there he met the worst human being that left the former Osiris student without his stuff, without money and just the money and luckily his deck still with him; Hans. Oh that fatso with ugly blond hair and his evil blue eyes… nightmares that Judai never wants to cross ever again.
''I don't like that name.'' Judai mutters walking away really not wanting to stick around anymore. Everyone blinks VERY surprise with Danny muttering. ''Now that's a first.''
Um… that was weird. Anyway…
To be continued…
(ENDING 1: Life by Yui from Bleach)
Thank you for another great episode. I thank those who are helping me get this story notice and enjoy it. For those who love it, please review my story and give me your opinions or thoughts to it.
Next Time…
Preparing how their first battle will be, Yugi decides to have a chat with the one person who will give me him a reason to understand what he can do in this war scenario. However, will that have been the wisest of decisions?
Jenny: This isn't a game to be meditating woof.
Yugi: I know but I have to speak with him. He might not like me but right now I need to figure things out.
Ichigo: Do you have to Nya? You said he doesn't really care about you Yugi-kun?
Yugi: … I do but I also need to find the way to bond with him too. After all, he's my senior in a sense.
Jenny: Well…
Jonouchi Let's bet on Yugi's plan! Next time in Yu-Gi-Oh! Dragon Knight Reborn: Communicating and Strategizing! Yugi's Guidance!
Ichigo sighs: Please remember to read, enjoy and review Nya. See you all next time and I hope you know what you're doing Yugi-kun.
Author's Note: Yea… f**k Damon. Dickhead. Got rid of him and the others… I mean Selvaria KILLED THEM ALL with her Final Flame (Spoiler to those not aware). So yea… screw it, gives me less reason to worry about more characters right now.
I should add this but the timeline of this DKR version of Valkyria Chronicles is before Episode 13 (but do not worry, 13 and 14 will be chapters for this arc).
So this Volume is rather different than the straight ''Heroes fight the villains''. It still is but different having it with strategies since Yugi is in a war setting, of course. I hope you all understand and things will pick up.
Also, sorry for the small last scene of this chapter. Wanted to make it weird!
