Almost all characters, objects, names, places, powers, moves, events, plots and weapons are not original worked. They were already made from other manga, anime and cartoon stories.

GX, Sonic X plus other Sonic video game plots and characters, Danny Phantom, FullMetal Alchemist, Sailor Moon, Pokémon and others more. Later on this volume, I am borrowing Erika Aoyama and Mew Erika from Arrick Haun better known as Redwallfan2000 from Fan as one of the other characters in this anime story. Ichigo Momomiya has also the name of "Tokadul" and she is 17 years old than 13 like in the anime. This is not also a copy of either any "Dragon knight" or "Dragon Knights" stories, but it's weird that I never heard of them until now. It is my idea, even if the names of it are weird. Some characters will have, sometimes, a short written name. Most names are in their Japanese or English versions. If you don't get it, look at in the Internet. Note: Most Duel Monster card names will be in their English names. Also, most cards effects are change into their anime version.

Hello Readers, this is Redo Episode 9 of the first arc of Beginnings, the Dragon Knight of Light and the Mew Heroine! And this will be a four part episode called ''Growth and Trust''. Hope you love it! Hope you enjoy it and review it too. P.S. I do not own them all or any of them except this crossover story, so I wrote the band's or artist's name that wrote that song which I do not own again.

The Earth... is a great place where humanity and all other creatures live and learn to evolve little by little, but this great world has Darkness in it too. Evil beings who wish to conquer this world and everyone.

Only one being stood against them to show everyone the power of light and hope, but this great mythical dragon wasn't able to stop them. He gave his powers and hope to a human that was known by his name, the Dragon Knight!

Before this hero also met his end, he gave the legendary Dragon Sword and his hopes and dreams to the next knight, his youngest son who is destined to become a legend by the sides of his comrades and his love. This hero... is the Hero of Light, the Last Dragon Knight of Light!

Volume 1: Episode 9: A Knight's Doubt. The Arrival of Legendary Pervert and the Training Request?!

In the previous episode of DKR:

In the last episode… Shadow the Hedgehog arrived to save our heroes… and Dragon Knight against with Doctor Eggman, Dark General Knight and even Dark Oak. The villains were forced to retreat because of the loss of the Chaos Emerald. However, now they had to deal with Shadow and his rage to know how he regained his memories.

A fight broke out between Yugi and Shadow as the young knight tried to reach out to the black hedgehog and promised him to be friends. Unsure of such a thing at first until he noticed how similar Yugi was like Maria, Shadow accepted facts and joined forces with Yugi, Sonic and the others to retrieve the Chaos Emerald.

Now finding where it was, the fight between good and evil recommence, this time having Shadow as an ally and Ichigo stepping in and appeared as Mew Ichigo to assist her friends. With their combined power, as well as the Chaos Emerald

What will happen now? Find out now!

And now the conclusion from the previous episode… Few days later at night:

Inside the chambers of Dark Leader Dragon's throne room inside the special dimension in Dark L.E. Enterprise, the evil Dark Lord of Darkness is furious once again about failed plan to eliminate the Dragon Knight. He roars of fury and anger by just thinking of Yugi winning again.

"Not even Dark Oak with the combine power of Dark General Knight and Doctor Robotnic couldn't defeat or kill that brat or his little friends! DARN!'' The Dark Lord shouted as he slams his claw on the handle of his throne chair. The force was able to destroy it, as the dragon was still furious. ''DARN YOU BRAT!''

''Now I have to deal with the Supreme King's reincarnation, that blue and black hedgehogs Sonic and Shadow, and that cat girl too! Why do this FOOLS help that boy?!" The dark dragon continues arguing to himself on how things have turns out, especially with the knight's friends.

He felt like he can't take it anymore. It was like a mental stress for him. He had his own goals to complete, and one he must not avoid, no longer! If he wishes to make his goals into reality, he'll have to step up his game and mean it. Then, after some time as he thought things over, the Dark Lord grins and says with a sinister tone. "I guess… I'll have to do something about it. I'm at fully strength and ready to destroy him, once and for all. And believe this… I will."

He could feel his strength and power increasing, and with such power, he won't make a mistake in letting him get away. Not again, not ever.

''Hmhmhmmm… Hahahah! HAHAHAHAHAH!'' The Dark Lord laughs menacing as his laughter echoes through the darkness around him.

The next day…

Yugi left home to go for another day of education. He felt a bit sad that he was unable to bring Pikachu with him because Jenny needs him again. Of course, he was okay with that. Yami appears behind him in his spirit form. The Pharaoh stares closely at his partner, and he could tell Yugi was almost… unease about something. Well more than something, more like everything that has been going on.

"Yugi… you think what Shadow said was true?" He started asking as Yugi was quiet at first, but then he stopped walking and turns to him. "I was thinking about it for quite a while, but… I just don't know. If he said that light help to recover his lost memories, then there must be more to it. When that occurred, I was in that weird dimension with you. Ichigo-kun said that she was unaffected by the bright light."

"So was Judai-kun and Sonic when they saw it. I know this is just a coincidence, but I bet Anzu, Honda, Jonouchi, Kaiba and Naruto must have also seen that light too." Yami concluded as Yugi believed him.

"Of course, those guys faced magic in the old times, even though Kaiba doesn't believe in that. I also think Danny-san and Kurosaki-san must have seen it too. They were pretty strange when they asked me about that the other day. It's… just too coincidence and, why could they be able to see it." Yugi added as that bothered him. He didn't want his friends to know what he has been doing, and that's something he has to avoid at all cost.

"Momomiya-san said that Dark Leader Dragon was unable to even look at it. Everyone in Domino and beyond… the whole world was unable to look right through it like a solar eclipse. You think… this could be a Dragon Knight thing?" Yami suggested as Yugi wasn't so sure, in fact in none of that.

He answers back to the Pharaoh. "I honestly don't know. Maybe, it would make sense, but we shouldn't let that bother us, not right now."

The tension of all of these unsolvable questions and problem didn't help them, especially Yugi. He didn't want all this. He wants his old life back. He wants to get up, without worrying about what or who might do harm. And the worst part, the Dark Lord hasn't gone after his friends yet, and he's scared when he will.

"It doesn't matter at the moment. We'll figure everything out eventually. For now, I just want a normal day with my friends." Yugi declares calmly, not wanting Yami to suspect any of his doubts about anything really.

Yami nodded in agreement, and he did notice something was strange about Yugi. He didn't want to ask him just to not make him worry. He raised his head to look at the sky in wonder, but instead spot the weirdest thing any pharaoh would not have expect.

"Yugi, I think your normal day ended earlier. Look up." Yami declared as he pointed up. Yugi turns around and, curious, as he looks up and also sees something weird. On top of a small building, he saw a man peeking at some women from the next door Domino's Special Spa Luxury through a thin and long old ship scope. Yugi just sweat drop at the appearance of the man.

From what Yugi could describe the pervert; He's tall with extremely long and spiky white hair tied back into a pony tail, with two shoulder-length bangs that framed both sides of his face. He also had red lines of somehow ink that ran down from his eyes and wore a horned forehead protector almost similar to Naruto Uzumaki, but different symbols. He is wearing a green short shirt kimono and matching pants; under which he wore mesh armor that showed out of the sleeves and legs of his outfit. He also has hand guards, a simple black belt, traditional Japanese wooden sandals, a red cloak with two simple yellow circles, and a huge scroll on his back.

Just looking up, he notices the man was blushing red when he was spying and looking at the unnoticeable ladies from the spa in the women's spring bathes.

Yugi just sighed, knowing someone has to tell the pervert to not peek on nuked woman. It took him less than five minutes as he reaches the rooftop. As Yugi got near the man, he was saying to himself. "Oh yes that will do. More ladies, more! This might not be Konoha, but it's all the same. More research! MANY MORE TO GO!"

One of them was about to get up which he was to closer look near her breasts, until something enter his view and it was dark blue. The man got upset and saw it was Yugi with a serious face looking at him with his folded arms.

"That's enough, sir. Why not look the other way around and leave?" Yugi asks nicely, not wanting any problems.

The odd pervert got up on his feet that was really taller than Yugi and says with an anger look and whining tone. "What are you doing kid? I'm only trying to gather research.''

Yugi looked at him oddly about that and asked him, still being serious. "What do you mean by "research''?"

The strange pervert man grins as he shouts in an energetic and disturbing tone. "My research is the most and amazing form of compassion and enjoyment. For my stories to becoming the best of all, I need…MORE RESEARCH!"

Yugi was completely freaked out by what he just heard. He so didn't want those poor ladies to go through this… whatever this is. He turned around, and yelled towards the spa to all those ladies. "HEY! Get out from their or this pervert will keep peeking on all of you for his "research" which might is bad! RUN!"

They all heard Yugi, and looked up to see them. They all screamed as they ran back inside. The pervert was crushed and defeated with a face of terror. The man shouted furious at Yugi. "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?! My Transparent Escape Technique Jutsu allows me to be unnoticeable by anyone, but it only works…IF YOU DO NOT MAKE A NOISE!"

"Really! A Jutsu like technique that makes you almost invisible? That's pretty cool, but stupid to spy on women.'' Yugi stated with stare. He liked how such a technique can be used, but not how they were being used, especially by a pervert who was doing shameful things by looking at women ''You should be ashamed of yourself to be a pervert!"

"Why do all these young kids always call me a pervert? I don't bother you! I don't even know you!" The man shouted, whining like a child. Yugi sweat drops, not expecting this type of reaction from a grown, old man.

"Hey, it's my opinion and… you are a pervert for peeking on them. That's disgusting and what kind of book has that sort of material." Yugi demanded.

The man became a bit nervous by what Yugi asked for as he slowly stood up and declared as he walked away from him. "Well… I don't have a copy with me right now, but I'll show you one to proof you're wrong. So, I'll be going to get it and be back to "in your face" you! Farewell!"

He waves goodbye and leaves the area in a hurry. Yugi somehow didn't believe that as he shook his head. He quickly turns around to say something else, but he just disappeared. Yugi was suspicious by the pervert's disappearance.

"Who the heck was that? I hope he doesn't have some kind of super pervert powers." Yugi asked the Pharaoh, hoping he would know something. There was no respond. Yugi turns to stare at Yami who was thinking. ''Hello? You there?''

"Yes. Did you notice how that? He could be another Shinobi from this Konoha place." Yami said as Yugi thought back and he could have been, but he didn't want to let that bother him. He needs to avoid as much as that madness as possible. ''Maybe, but we shouldn't-''

Yugi soon stopped himself as he wanted to check his watch and stared in panic that the first bell is going to ring soon. He shouts nervously, not having the time to finish the subject. "Oh man! I'm going to be late! Let's go for now!"

Yami simply nodded, still curious, as Yugi ran in a hurry to get to school. From a distance, the strange man was looking at him on a taller building top. He says to himself as he kept his eyes on the young man. "So, he's the one Kakashi told me about when I got back from my spying on the Akatsuki. I wonder if he's as good as Sackertin was once."

He then disappeared again.

All the time he spend talking to the strange pervert man, Yugi realized how late he will be. He had to hurry up and run towards his school at all cost.

After 30 minutes in hurrying, and sweating a lot, Yugi has barely made it to school. The first person he saw was Ichigo Momomiya who was putting something in her locket. He greets her with an exhausted tone. "Good morning Ichigo-kun. How are you doing?"

She got surprise because he didn't notice him. He bows down and greets him back. "Good morning too, Yugi-kun. I'm fine… and great."

Yugi yawns as he nods, but even though he was exhausted as hell, he somehow could tell that Ichigo wasn't well.

"You don't sound so great. Is something wrong?" Yugi asks, wondering if everything with Ichigo-kun was okay.

Ichigo wasn't so much great as she said she was. She wasn't so great about the fact that she's been helping Yugi too lately, and she doesn't want to do this anymore, well as Mew Ichigo. She hates being that Mew Mew and she hates all the work she needs to endure because of them.

She then noticed that Yugi was still looking at her oddly. She finally answers her. "I'm just… tired. I didn't get enough sleep. After a long cat…I mean a normal nap; I'll be at full strength again."

Yugi just nods, as he stares at her as if he didn't believe her. Yami also looks at her in suspicion that she's hiding something.

"Well… Okay, I believe you. Let's get going!" Yugi declares as Ichigo agrees and both friends heads to their class

They got there and greeted everyone there, and began another school day. Then the first period started and Ichigo went to sleep right away. All she could wonder about was when she will escape the faith of being a Mew Mew.

Around 7-8 hours later…

The school day finally ended and everyone started leaving. Jonouchi and Danny felt exhausted of today's long hours. Jonouchi was curious if Yugi would want to hang out today. He decided to find out as he walked towards him and asked his best friend. "Hey Yug, want to go somewhere like the arcade or Tag Duel someone?"

Yugi shook his head and said clearly. "Sorry, Jonouchi. I'm going to Café Mew Mew with Ichigo-kun. She did kinda treat me for like the fifth time so I don't want to mess things up."

Jonouchi got upset and was about to insult Ichigo, but he noticed that Yugi was truly worry for her. He then accepted that and replied. "I guess if you want to… then go for it Yug."

Yugi was surprise to hear that. He was that certain his best friend would argue that he doesn't want him to get near Ichigo. Jonouchi didn't want to be a jerk to the person he doesn't like, but he knows Yugi would protect any friend from anything. He can't be like as he stated. "I don't… want to be awful with her. Not now, but maybe later."

Yugi, who's still surprised, smiles with happiness and thanks him. "Thank you Jonouchi! I owe you one."

Jonouchi responds with a small wave. "Yeah, yeah. Just go for it. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Right, thanks again! See you later!" Yugi thanked him again as he ran off.

Jonouchi leaves the classroom which only leaves Yugi and Ichigo who was getting her ready to leave. He approaches her and asks her. "Ready to go… or maybe not today?"

"Of course I'm ready. Let's head…" She was then interrupted by her father who just entered the room. "Ichigo honey, I really need to talk to you. Well more like help."

Ichigo was surprised by her father's appearance and asked him. "What's wrong oto-san? Is it something bad?"

"No, it's just that I need someone to help me on some things before I leave." Her father told her, as he didn't want to do the job alone. Ichigo sighs as she couldn't believe at a time like this.

"You know that I have a job and my boss gets upset if I come late." Ichigo explained upset to think what would happen if she arrives late and Ryou is all over her for coming late. ''I don't need him yelling at me for coming late.''

"I know, but I've called your boss in advance to inform him. Plus, we should do a father-daughter thing because we haven't done it for such a while." Her father announced which stunned Ichigo. She didn't expect her father would do such a thing… then again, she could understand she needed time between her and her father. She knows how much he cares for her, and she needs to do what's right.

Ichigo also didn't want to disappoint Yugi or her dad. She turns her head and sees Yugi nods to the idea. She still felt bad, but finally said with a smile. "Okay oto-san, I'll help out. But, can Yugi help too."

Yugi disapproves to that as he interrupted them. "No Ichigo-kun. I'll be just embarrassing you and Momomiya-san too. Besides, I wouldn't mind knowing where you work tomorrow. Hehehe, I'm a little exhausted today."

Yugi was going to tell Ichigo that because he had too much to think about lately, and he needs a time alone to figure things out.

Ichigo felt somehow sad, because she was hoping to show Yugi where she worked. First time she would do something, but he seemed too nice to not show him. She just nods to that and her father says with a happy tone. "Alright! I owe you one Yugi-san."

Yugi thanks him and says with a bow before leaving. "It's no big deal. I'll see you tomorrow, Ichigo-kun."

''Right! Bye and thank you, Yugi-kun!'' Ichigo thanked, happy that he understood. With that, Yugi left. Ichigo says to her dad. "Okay oto-san, let's make this fast!"

"That's the spirit. Let's start with the many boxes in the library, then checking on a list of all school textbooks." Her father declared as he had a grin over his face.

Ichigo was overwhelmed by the work with a huge sweat drop on her head. She didn't expect that this will be hard. She mutters to herself. ''Just my luck.''

As he left the school grounds, and walked his way back home, Yugi was somehow more in thought to himself than he ever was before. Does he want to be the Dragon Knight? Can he really beat the Dark Lord? Does he know what he's doing? How long will this take to stop the Dark Lord? Can he protect his friends? All these questions and doubts have become a bother lately and that's why he needs time to think things over.

Yami then appeared beside his concern partner, as he too was concerned about him and Ichigo. Maybe he was wrong that Yugi like-like Ichigo, just because he thought that maybe he grew up. He has, but not yet. He said to him mentally. "You're a good… Friend to Momomiya-san."

This surprised Yugi that it even made him stop.

''… Really? Well yes I am!'' Yugi declared, with a small smile over his face as he points his finger firmly to himself. He was proud that he finally prove to the Pharaoh that he and Ichigo are just good friends.

"Fine, but if you kiss her then it's your problem." Yami added, sighing that even he doesn't know how things could end or not.

Yugi sweat drops as he replied, as he gives Yami a look. "Why am I not surprise? You seem to forget that Masaya-san is her boyfriend. But sure! I won't kiss her. She is my friend after all."

Yami chuckles a bit as he responds. "Fine, fine."

Yami stare at Yugi, who seem to be calmer after that chat. Maybe Yugi was right; maybe he only thinks of Ichigo as a friend.

''He's not worry about her. I suppose it's for the best.'' Yami decided that it's for the best that Yugi and Ichigo are friends.

After a long while of walking, Yugi just stopped. Yami was a little concern of what has happened, as Yugi was thinking hard on something; something he needed to tell someone.

''… Say, Yami, mind if I ask you something?'' Yugi suddenly asks him, which surprised the Pharaoh ''Hmm? Sure.''

Yugi was a little hesitated to tell him this, but he needed an honest opinion, and it was about Mew Ichigo and Ichigo-kun. He didn't know why he wanted to ask him this, but something in him told him to.

''Do you think that both Ichigos, you know, Ichigo-kun and Mew Ichigo-kun… that they look almost-'' Yugi was saying… until he suddenly felt something shiver his entire body.

''Yugi?'' Yami calls out to his partner, as he too feels something is wrong.

''Something is wrong?'' Yugi declared, feeling darkness all around him, as he sensed he needed to move out of the way.

He quickly moves out of the way to reveal a giant fire ball was coming down from behind him. It hit where Yugi was and exploded as the ground shake of debris. The blast made a crater of burning ground. Yugi was scared at first, then serious to look around the whole scene. Then an evil laughter appeared above him. He raised his head and saw Dark Leader Dragon floating on the sky.

"It's been such a while, Yugi Mutou, the Dragon Knight of Light!" Dark Leader Dragon declared as his wings flapped.

Yugi and Yami glared angrily at the villain as they shouted at him "Dark Leader Dragon!"

The Dark Lord stares at the boy who has gotten in his way for too long now. He declares while he descends onto ground level. "You are a serious problem to me, brat. You defeated my Dark Dragon Hunters, those Team Rocket elite, Dark General Knight, Zorc or Yami Bakura as he calls himself, Doctor Eggman and Dark Oak with your little allies."

Yugi gulps his throat to just be reminded of all those fights that pushed him hard since last week. He was actually scared a bit to think what would the monster do to him.

''I will say this: impressive.'' The Dark Lord says as he performs a small clap with his claws. Yugi didn't lower his guard by that instead he brings out the Dragon Sword immediately. He knows whatever he's saying is not the complete version.

''However, your streak of annoying me has come to its conclusion. You know why? Because I will kill you, once and for all.'' The Dark Lord finishes his message, as Yugi was dead on about this.

"I won't be killed by the likes of you. I fought hard evil opponents ever since I became the Dragon Knight to protect those around me, so… I won't surrender or even lose to someone like you." Yugi announces, proudly yet nervous a bit in his tone, having doubts about the situation.

"Then you will die here and now! Come forth from all darkness, Darkness Scythe!" Dark Leader Dragon prepares himself as his claw begins to glow dark aura and his evil scythe appeared as sharp as ever.

"Good! I want to beat you so badly that now I can end this at last!'' Yugi declares as he holds his sword with both his hands. Even though he was nervous, he had to end this. He had to, or this nightmare will never end.

Without thinking on the matter anymore, Yugi charges in as he swings his sword. ''DRAGON SLICE ATTACK!"

He fires from his sword the golden energy, crescent slash attack right towards the demon dragon. Yugi was confident that this attack would hit him by how fast he swung it, but he didn't expect the Dark Lord to dodge it by simply moving aside. This left the young knight speechless as he didn't expect that. The Dark Lord took this chance of weakness as he charges in as he swung his scythe down on the boy. Yami made him snap out of his trance as he blocks it, just barely.

"You might be getting better, but that won't help against me now. Burn, DARK FIRE BALL BLAZE!" Dark Leader Dragon opens up his mouth and begins forming a large ball of dark flames inside it.

He then shot out a giant dark fire ball from his mouth towards Yugi. He quickly moves out of the way, but still got caught by the blast on his back which burned him badly. Yugi drops on the ground, as smoke from the attack floats behind his back.

''Don't tell me is that all you have left?'' Dark Leader Dragon declared, confident in his strength.

Yugi moans in pain which later becomes louder as soon as he tries to get up.

"Ouch! THAT HURT!'' Yugi whines slightly, feeling sore on his back by the attack.

''Yugi! Stay focus!'' Yami told him seriously as Yugi agreed. He glares up at the Dark Lord, not wanting to him to win at any cost.

''I won't let that beat me. NOT NOW! DRAGON SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" Yugi shouts as he forms a hand seal and creates 4 Dragon Clones beside him. Dark Leader Dragon was unimpressed by this new trick as he mocks him. ''Such an unique technique, boy. Effective for the weak minded brat!''

Yugi and his Dragon Clones glared angrily to hear that.

"Tch. Like that trick will be change anything. Incinerate into darkness, BLACK FLAME INFERNO!" The Dark Lord roars as he unleashes his black flames of destruction from his mouth towards Yugi. He and his Dragon Clones all dodge that attack as fast as he could. From the ashes smoke of the ground, the Dragon Clones appeared and swings their Dragon Sword clone copy at the Dark Lord. The demon dragon blocks all 4 sword swings with his one scythe and pushed them all back.

"You're not making this fun. Maybe I should this with this. DARK DRAGON FLAME!" Dark Leader Dragon declared as he charged up dark flames in his mouth, preparing to unleash them on Yugi and his clones. However, he never got his chance as the Dragon Clones sent a powerful uppercuts right to the Dark Lord's chest, shooting him straight up.

''Let's end this with this technique!'' Yugi declared as his he tap the tip of his foot, preparing to use the same technique that first defeated Dark General Knight.

As the Dark Lord was still being sent upward, one of Yugi's Dragon Clone leaps at him and delivers a powerful kick on his chest. Then another Dragon Clone leaped up, jumped on the clone that was still in mid-air, and took another leap using that one as a platform and deliver another kick on the Dark Lord's chest. The progress repeated for the last two Dragon Clones as the real Yugi jumped on each clone as platform to reach over the Dark Lord, power-up a powerful kick.

"Take this! A technique from a friend I copy! YUGI MUTOU DRAGON HURRICANE BLAZING BARRAGE!" Yugi shouts as he sends downward, a spinning and massive kick that struck the Dark Lord's head directly. The blow was powerful enough to send the villain crashing to the ground very fast. Yugi smirks, as he's still in mid-air, as he watches the defeat of the Dark Lord.

''That name is still strange to call it, Yugi.'' Yami said, sweat dropping, finding the long name Yugi copied from the ninja that they fought and became friends with.

''I guess, but it's super awesome!'' Yugi declares with a small grin. Yami further sweat drops as he expected Yugi would agree with him. He was expecting too much from him just too soon.

Before the Dark Lord crashed, the demon dragon flapped his wings as they unleashed a powerful burst of wind that stopped him. Yugi widened his eyes as the Dark Lord floated up forward, smirking evilly at the knight.

Yugi says, still shocked, in a disappointing tone. "Oh man! I almost had him with that!"

Dark Leader Dragon quickly turns around and flies towards Yugi with his scythe ready to swing. Yugi got very scared that he couldn't dodge that, so he raised his hands to form the same hand signs and shouted out. "DRAGON SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!"

Yugi creates a new Dragon Clone beside him. The clone quickly grabs his hand and spins, toss him aside from Dark Leader Dragon's impact. The Dark Lord still slashed Yugi's Dragon Clone to be satisfied. He soon says to Yugi as soon as he crashed on the ground. "You have some impressive tricks, but they won't defeat me. Give me a real challenge!"

''Yugi, let's work together!'' Yami suggested in a demanding tone, knowing it will take teamwork to beat him. Yugi just nodded as he just needed to end this fight once and for all. That's all that matter. ''Right!''

Yugi glares at the demon dragon as he stands up. He already felt too exhausted to even yell back, but he still said to the Dark Lord in a serious tone. "Fine! I'll give you a challenge!''

His Millennium Puzzle begins to glow and soon Yugi became Yami Yugi. He stood on a normal stands and said to Dark Leader Dragon. "If you want a challenge, then face the Dragon Knight's full power! DRAGON SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!"

He then created and summoned forth three new Dragon Clones. Two of the three Dragon Clones went charging towards the Dark Lord with their swords in their hand. The evil dragon simple smirks with confidence and declares to him in an unimpressive tone. "Same move, for a human brat. I'll show a different a real technique. DEMISE DARK FURY!"

By using his Darkness Scythe, he engages the clones in close combat and stabs them both in a piercing blow position. Before the clones disappear, the scythe began to glow in a black/purple swirl of energy as it fires a barrage of the same energy, but in the form of large bullets. The blast pierce through the clones, destroying them as the energy blasts came their way towards the last Dragon Clone and the real Yami Yugi.

''Not good. We got to counter that.'' Yami suggested as Yugi agreed. Both the real Yami Yugi and his clone both shouted as they swing their swords in a 45° degree pose on their backs and then swing them forward around a 135° degree position."DRAGON SLICE ATTACK!"

They both unleashed two spinning golden energy slashes, almost like fans, which cut through the Dark Lord's attack with ease. Yugi smirked as he knew that changed in his signature attack would work.

''You think too confident in yourself if you can finally defeat me.'' Dark Leader Dragon declared as he stared up at both attacks that were still coming at him. Yugi widened his eyes as Yami Yugi questioned. ''What do you mean?''

''I mean unlike you, Pharaoh Atem, Yugi is nothing but a worm who's not even a true knight; more than ever since I am starting to remain my true powers!'' The Dark Lord adds as he didn't move a single inch while folding his arms around. Both Yugi and Yami didn't like what he's trying to do. Before the twin golden energy attacked strike him, the Dark Lord says with a laugh. "I will show you the true power of the Dark Lord, with my ultimate defense: BLACK FLAME ARMOR!"

Then the demon dragon's whole body was engulfed in black flames that it didn't seem to hurt him or burn him. The twin Dragon Slice Attack hit him, but they were ineffective against the black flames. The two crescents energy attacks disappear into nothing after a few seconds. Yami Yugi was shocked by the failed move, especially Yugi who thought of making such a move. Dark Leader Dragon asks firmly while his black flame extinguished themselves off his body, revealing no damage on him. "Was that all you got?"

Yami Yugi took a guard to think twice on how bad the situation this has gotten. His Dragon Clone disappeared after that failed counter move. Yami Yugi thinks carefully for his next action and he got one. He says in a more serious tone, as he spins around his sword. "I have plenty of moves left. Special move… DRAGON SPIN HARPOON SLASH!"

He then threw his sword over the air, while still holding it by its ribbon, and began to spin it around by the ribbon. He then throws it towards Dragon Leader Dragon like a long stretched harpoon at full speed. The Dark Lord was still unimpressed and says with signs of boredom. "You still don't get it, do you? I am invincible! BLACK FLAME ARMOR!"

He releases his black flames that engulf his body again and blocks the harpoon attack with ease. Yami Yugi got more upset when he pulled his sword back to his hand. He didn't understand how the black flames could block the physical attack, until he notices a tiny scratch of his attack on the Dark Lord's chest as soon as the flames disappeared.

"If I can't beat you with long range, I'll try something different! DRAGON SPEED BURST!" Yami Yugi declares, as he figures something out a possibly weakness. He begins run and gain huge speed that he's engulfed in a shining light while holding his sword.

"You'll never learn, BLACK FLAME ARMOR!" Dark Leader Dragon activates once again his black flames that surrounded his body.

Yami Yugi still swings and slashes his sword at Dark Leader Dragon's burning body. The Dragon Sword did hit, but somehow, Yami Yugi couldn't get through those flames without burning himself which frustrated the Dragon Knight. He quickly moved back as he witnessed the black flames disappearing, and spotting the injuring he left on the Dark Lord was closing and healing itself. This shocked both Yugi and Yami as the dark dragon noticed the knight's expression.

''Oh I see. You notice the scratch I took from you so you figure if you attack me head on with just physical attacks, you could harm me. Not bad… except my Black Flame Armor reduces all physical damage on me.'' The Dark Lord stated which shocked Yami Yugi, even more as the Dark Lord bit his own arm. That was another shocker as the knight saw the bitten arm healing itself. ''And my regeneration factor heals me of any less inflicted damage on me.''

Yami took all this information calmly, and tried to analyze a way to turn the fight around. However, Yugi wasn't. He shouldn't act like this, but it was getting to him that none of his plans were working as he wanted them to be. It drove him mad to think about it.

Dark Leader Dragon laughs with excitement at how he's winning. "You can't win, boy! Accept it, or I will show you the meaning of despair.''

''Never! Bring your worst.'' Yami Yugi declared as he held on his sword. He was tightening his grip on his weapon, but it wasn't Yami's doing but Yugi. His partner is getting scared of the situation.

''Fine then! Prepare yourself!'' The Dark Lord announces as he takes flight once more. He then stopped ascending any higher, in the perfect position for his strongest attack. He open up his large dragon's mouth, as new flames soon emerge and gather together between his fangs in the form of a sphere.

''Burst and destroy all hope. EVIL COMET DARK DESTRUCTION BURST!" Dark Leader Dragon roars in fury as the orb of the new dark flames grew bigger. Yami Yugi could only watch as the flames were huge enough, as the dark dragon unleashed it. The sphere soon fired off the Dark Lord's mouth, once again changing its form of a dark burning comet that has dark energy stream flowing from behind it.

Yami Yugi had to act fast as the comet attack was coming at him fast. He had to win, no matter what happens. He rose up his sword, and ready to put everything he got left.

"Okay… one more time, DRAGON SLICE ATTACK MAX POWER!" The Dragon Knight shouts with all of his might as he swings his sword, and unleashes his strongest version of the Dragon Slice Attack towards Dark Leader Dragon's new attack. Both attacks then collided… however, unlike their last battle, the Dark Lord's Evil Comet Dark Destruction Burst overpower Yami Yugi's Dragon Slice Attack Max Power and continues its course towards the Dragon Knight.

Yugi couldn't even speak at the sight that his strongest attack failed him; it crushed his confidence. He failed to stop that monster for good.

Because the attack was weaken; it hit Yami Yugi directly, but it only caused minor damage as he was tossed aside and sent to the ground. He couldn't get himself back to his feet. He soon reverts back to normal Yugi, lying on the ground by the front, still unable to stand even on all fours.

"I can't… get up. I'm just… too exhausted. Darn it!" Yugi cursed himself as he struggled to stand up, but his legs and arms refused to move.

Dark Leader Dragon begins to laugh evilly by his victory. He just needed to be patient to regain most of his powers to end the brat for good, and it worked just as he planned. He says while chuckling evilly. "You are a fool to battle me alone. You still don't possess the powers that your father had. He was a real menace to me and him too, but he died and life is good… for me.''

Yugi glared angrily at the Dark Lord which angered him. Even if he crushed him, the knight continued to glare at the victorious dark dragon.

''DON'T YOU DARE LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT!'' Dark Leader Dragon roars as he kicks Yugi like a rag, pushing him slightly away from him. The dark dragon brings out his scythe and points it at the weaken Dragon Knight. ''It's time I end Sactertin Muto's last miracle to defeat Darkness… you! But don't worry, that Cat Girl named Mew Ichigo will join you shortly for making me angry."

This made Yugi's eyes become enrage of anger. He could not let the Dark Lord get away with this; he just couldn't! But he couldn't even move to even stop him. He says in thought, wondering in his struggles, where was Mew Ichigo. "Where are you Mew Ichigo-kun?! I really need you here or at least Ichigo-kun. I shouldn't have fought him alone… but I still needed to prove my power as the Dragon Knight. Mew Ichigo-kun, I need you here!"

Meanwhile…

Ichigo suddenly drops some of the books she's holding onto the floor. She could have sworn she sense something happening, and it was as if someone needed her help. And it was Yugi of call people she felt.

"Did I just felt Yugi-kun calling for me? It must be my imagination." Ichigo said mentally, trying to calm herself. She never felt like that before, and it was scary.

Ichigo had this feeling she had to leave and check up on Yugi. She then asked her dad who was putting some books on a shelf of a bookcase. "Oto-san, can I go now?"

Shintaro stared at his daughter and responded while placing another book on a shelf. "Just a little more and then you can leave. Just one more shelf to go."

Ichigo, unsatisfied on the situation, is still left worrying and thinks to herself with a worry face. "Yugi-kun, please be safe. I hope you're alright."

Meanwhile… back to the fight:

Yugi was still struggling to get up as the Dark Lord was before him, smirking as his dragon fangs show, and so did his tongue.

''Hahahah! Are you done?'' Dark Leader Dragon asked demanding towards Yugi. The young knight raised his head with a small smirk and answered. ''Nay, not yet.''

This angered the Dark Lord, seeing that even at a badly state he is, he continues to mock him.

''… So be it.'' The evil dragon replied with a cold stare. He quickly moves his scythe and stabs Yugi near the left of his back.

''AAHHHH!'' Yugi yells in pain as the scythe of the Dark Lord's went even deeper to the wound it already made.

''YUGI!'' Yami yelled, panicking of fear to see his partner, his friend in such a terrible situation.

Dark Leader Dragon laughs of joy and evil to see the brat who would define his plans to fall like this; was almost too perfect to be true.

''HAHAHA! LET ME HEAR THOSE SCREAMS, BOY!'' The demonic dragon laughs like a wild hyena, finding real humor in making the boy to suffer.

Yugi grind his fist on the ground, pushing himself to get up, and refusing such a monster to win. He gritted his teeth, as he kneed down with one leg, and glared at the Dark Lord. ''N-never! I won't submit!''

''SO BE IT!'' Dark Leader Dragon roars furious as he pulls out his scythe, forcing Yugi to yell again but slightly less painful, and he swings it down again, this time throwing it towards Yugi's head. It seemed certain that the Dark Lord won, but that would stop. In a mere instant, the scythe stopped swinging downward. The Dark Lord looks down, and sees in shock that Yugi caught the pole of his scythe with his bare hand.

Yugi slightly raise his head, and glare at the villain with the same red, slitter eyes he had before. The Dark Lord momentary took a step back away from him, as he pulls his scythe away. Yugi finally got up on his feet, rubbing on the wound on his back. Yami was speechless to what he just watched.

''This still hurts a lot!'' Yugi whined mentally. Yami just blinks for a while, still speechless of what he saw.

Dark Leader Dragon was also shocked to what he witnessed, especially since the fact that Yugi regain some of his strength again.

''Darn little brat!'' The demon dragon growl mentally, almost as if he would explode in insane rage.

Dark Leader Dragon had it as he roars with a much eviler voice. "Now I'm done playing with you! THIS ENDS NOW! DIE AND BURN TO NOTHING! DARK DRAGON FLAME INFERNO!"

He gathers all of dark flames, at full power, and unleashes his dark fusion fire blast towards the weaken hero. Yami shouts to Yugi in thought. "Yugi, you have to run! NOW!"

Yugi would have with no ease, but he's too weak to even run away. He said mentally while panting. "EASY FOR YOU TO SAY!"

Yami made a confusing face that he forgot. Yugi stared at the flames coming at him, almost certain that he met his end. It was a nightmare for Yugi, as he only wanted to escape the faith of the Dragon Knight and have a normal life again.

Out of nowhere, a smokescreen appeared in front of him and something blocked the dark flame attack. Yugi was in shocked to see that the thing that saved him was a large, almost human size toad with a giant shield that stopped the flames. It became more shocking that someone also appeared out of nowhere after the attack banished. That same person said to Yugi in a familiar voice while standing in front of the Dark Lord. "I told you I'll be back as fast as I could!"

"That voice… I recognize that voice… It's…" Yugi's thoughts were interrupted by the person in front who turns around to reveal it was the same old man from this morning, now holding a book on his hand.

"And I also bought one of my best sellers to prove your young face that you're an idiot!" The man said with a small grin on his face. Pretty much overwhelmed by what just happened, Yugi shouted at him with anger anime face. "Who are you calling an idiot?! You're a real IDIOT to tell me you came back to show me your dirty book!"

The old pervert man shouted back with his eyes turning white non-pupil eyes while pointing his finger to Yugi. "Don't insult your elders, you stupid kid! AT LEAST I DON'T CHALLENGE A FIGHT THAT I WOULD LOSE!"

"Did anyone tell you before that you act like a kid? It's not easy to fight that lizard breath monster that's…" He was interrupted by Dark Leader Dragon who had enough of their chatting. "Shut up! Do not ignore the Dark Lord of Darkness! And who dares interfered with my victory against this human, again?!"

The old man turns around to face him and shouts bravely in a form of a tradition kabuki pose with a confident smirk. "A hero comes in the last second. I am the legend of legends; the Toad Sage Sannin of the Hidden Leaf, I am…" He was interrupted by the Dark Lord again. "Shut up too! I was afraid to see or meet another Sannin, but I didn't except to see you again; the imbecile Jiraiya."

Yugi thought to himself with a shocking expression. "I can't believe the pervert had a reputation or a title like that."

The pervert man known as Jiraiya got upset with a serious look. He says to him with a serious tone while his giant toad-friend disappears in white smoke. "Well… what a party-pooper you became after being imprison for such a while, Dark Leader Dragon."

Yugi was completely shocked on what was going on. What does this mean? Who was this old pervert named Jiraiya. How did Dark Leader Dragon know of him? And how is he going to escape from this? The only thing Yugi knew was this will not end well.

---

Commercial Break:

Jiraiya: Well Dark Lord, shall we tango?

Dark Leader Dragon: Tango? More like burning your body into nothing but medium rare, Sannin!

---

Yugi continues staring at both this Sannin who came to saved him, and the Dark Lord who wants him dead and in his stomach. And right now, the poor young Dragon Knight feels useless on the situation he is in.

"I'm surprised that you're still pathetic even after all those years before. So, where is the Fourth? I'm hoping to make him suffer for being one of the few who locked me up." Dark Leader Dragon demanded angrily. Yugi was curious who this Fourth was that the demon dragon mentioned.

"He's gone, but even so, his spirit lives on. I'm still here too!" Jiraiya declares with a confident smirk. This angers the Dark Lord very much. He always hated those who believed they can crush him.

"I will not lose to you, old man. I will kill you, then the boy of Sackertin and then conquer this whole planet!'' Dark Leader Dragon declares furious as he breathes out fire from his mouth. Jiraiya continues smirks as he moves his hand at him. ''Bring it on.''

''RRRRrrrr! Destroy! DARKNESS BLADE SLASH!" The Dark Lord declares as he swings his evil scythe to fire its dark energy slash towards the shinobi. Jiraiya quickly forms a few hand seals and shouts out while inhaling air in his mouth. "FIRE STYLE: FLAME BOMBS!"

He spits and shoots out two large fireballs in the form of bullets, from his mouth, towards the Dark Lord's signature attack. One of the fireballs canceled out the Darkness Blade Slash, both exploded as the other fireball flies towards the Dark Lord.

"I'll block that with ease! BLACK FLAME ARMOR!"Dark Leader Dragon counters as he's once again is engulfed by his dark flames, protecting himself against the fireball with ease.

As soon as the fireball extinguished itself by the black flames, the Dark Lord removes his flames and charges in towards the Sannin at full speed. He quickly swings his scythe to strike him down, but something stops his weapon at mid-way. It was Jiraiya's hair which became some kind of armor, spikier and shaper. Jiraiya declared with a firm smirk. "Not bad, but my NINJA ART: NEEDLE JIZO just stopped you. You're not the only one with an armor-base move."

Dark Leader Dragon stared furiously at the man as he moves back and declares with an angry tone. "Fine! I'll give you something a LOT worst! BLACK FLAME INFERNO!"

He breathes out his wave of black flame towards Jiraiya who uses his hair armor to protect himself. The Dark Lord grin as he declares as he continues opening his dragon mouth opened as it charges an orb of pure black flames. "I knew you would do that! Now die! EVIL COMET DARK DESTRUCTION BURST!"

His orb grew in size and soon unleashes the same evil flame comet blast towards Jiraiya as he was still protecting himself from the Black Flame Inferno technique. Yugi panicked as he couldn't do anything to help the old man.

"Oh! Not bad… however, do not underestimate me!" Jiraiya simply responds with the same confident smirk. He swings around his armored-up long hair to blow away the flames that were around him as his hair soon changes back to normal. He quickly forms, superfast, hand seals and shouts out while hold his breath in his mouth. "FIRE STYLE: DRAGON FLAME JUTSU!"

He unleashed huge fire breathed-fire attack from his mouth towards Dark Leader Dragon's own. Both attacks made a huge explosion that almost covered the whole square. Yugi was more amazed that this old pervert is full of surprises, which further gives him reasons on what is he.

"Who is this guy? I thought he was some weirdo that spies on innocent and well, naked women." Yugi said to himself, looking carefully at the fight still going on. The more he thought about it, the more he doubted about what he has been doing as this Dragon Knight.

Yugi then noticed, as hard as he could, that Jiraiya forms another different hand seals. The old man then bit his right thumb which was covered with some of his blood. He shouts while placing that same hand on the ground. "SUMMONING JUTSU!"

Then a new small smokescreen appeared around him. Without any warning, something jumped from there. It was a high, leaping toad with longer legs than the last one that was with Jiraiya. Yugi was completely stunned to see such a thing. The toad came down quickly and performed a charging slam down towards Dark Leader Dragon with its giant foot. The Dark Lord quickly moved out of the way, but still fell down by the powerful shockwave of the toad's foot stomping on the ground. Yugi says in amazement. "That was… so awesome. I wish I know how to summon one of those."

Dark Leader Dragon says with anger in his eyes. "You will pay for that stupid trick. DARKNESS BLADE SLASH!"

He swings his scythe to fire his dark energy attack in a lower position. Before the attack hits him and his toad, Jiraiya quickly preformed another hand seal which his toad disappeared and surrounded him in white smoke. The Darkness Blade Slash past through the smoke to disappear, but nothing hit it as it pass the smoke to a nearby building.

"What the?!'' The Dark Lord yelled angrily as he breathes fire through the smoke, but the flames weren't able to burn through the smoke. ''I hate these tricks! Show yourself, coward!"

The white smoke began to dissipate by something within the smoke, glowing. It was the wind current of a round, sphere like energy blue ball which is still spinning like a tornado on Jiraiya's palm. Yugi stared in shock as he knows that sphere, remembering back when he first fought Naruto Uzumaki. He said to himself in a very much surprised face. "That technique… It's Naruto's Rasengan! He knows how to use it too?"

Dark Leader Dragon was very worried to see that Jutsu, as if he was seeing another similar technique. He roars with a different, but serious tone. "It doesn't matter what Jutsu you use! Nothing can't get pass my BLACK FLAME ARMOR!"

His body was yet again engulfed in black flames to protect himself by all attacks. Jiraiya was still not impressed by his counter measure that the Dark Lord place on himself, just looking disappointed at it.

"I don't care what kind of defense you have; I'll tear right through your evil and defeat you!" Jiraiya declares as he charges in while holding on his energy sphere attack.

As soon as he got close to him, he shouts while holding up his attack towards the Dark Lord. "Take this! The Fourth Hokage's Jutsu! RASENGAN!"

Like in a flash, he hits the Dark Lord with the sphere Charka ball Jutsu. At first, Dark Leader Dragon wasn't worry by this because of his Black Flame Armor, however, the wind sphere Jutsu cut right the black flames which spiral around and hit him on his chest. He was speechless as he spoke to himself in shocked and terror. "Impossible… How can this be happening to me! CURSES!"

The attack became rapid fast that launches Dark Leader Dragon from his feet to the ground backwards. He falls and then flipped two more times to be lying on his front. Jiraiya declares with a smirk after the sphere Jutsu disappeared from his palm. "Serve you right for hurting those who had done nothing wrong to this world."

Yugi was amazed and speechless to how the old man of a pervert defeated Dark Leader Dragon with ease.

"That's unbelievable that he won. I wish I could do something like that. I really do, somehow." Yugi said to himself, once again doubting in his own abilities.

Even taking on a huge attack like hat, Dark Leader Dragon got up on his feet, still wobbling and almost unable to move right. He says mentally in an extreme angry tone while picking up his scythe. ''Darn it! I was too cocky to assume I can handle such odds like this.''

Yugi watches in shock as the Dark Lord's injuries begin to heal up, but he was still overwhelming exhausted.

"You… Will… PAY! I won't just make you suffer; I will kill you and then eat you piece by piece!" Dark Leader Dragon announced, meaning every word he spoke.

Jiraiya responds back with his arms crossed over, and acting cocky about it. "You are always a sore loser. You lost, so just give up and surrender."

Dark Leader Dragon became quiet after hearing that. Yugi could almost tell that the villain will not surrender to such a threat. And he was right as soon as the Dark Lord started laughing.

"Surrender you say? I do not submit defeat to ANYONE! Even if I can't kill you now, you can't kill me back. After all, I can't die unless you're the Dragon Knight." Dark Leader Dragon mocked Jiraiya's words as if they were a joke, sadly it wasn't one. Yugi, however, was more considered on the last part what the monster said. He had to be the one to kill Dark Leader Dragon. That was already too much of a task to accomplish, too much really.

The Dark Lord turns his attention to Yugi who's still overwhelmed by everything that has happened. He says to him while pointing his claw at him. "Don't thing I won't come back to kill you, because I will! And don't assume that this old fool will protect you again. I… will find you and kill you. If I don't…"

The demon dragon then made an evil smile and continued saying with an amusing stare. "Then I will just take my rage towards your little friends, staring with that cat girl who's been helping you. Then that other young girl that is with you will also suffer. Then your groupies and your allies and your remaining family and everyone you EVER met in your life! And once you lose them… you will understand that I am not an ordinary enemy you can beat. Oh no, I will be your endless nightmare and despair. And then… the end."

Yugi was in complete horror and anger to not being able to beat him sooner. He clinches his fist on the ground that it became intense red, enraged by the thought that he can't do anything about protecting everyone he cares about. He's not strong enough to beat that monster.

Dark Leader Dragon already noticed the despair that he left on Yugi, and smirked that even if he couldn't kill him right now, he did however brought him down on his knees.

The Dark Lord adds with an evil laugh. "You can either hide or fight me, but you will NEVER defeat or escape me. Be scared and fear me… because I will make you suffer until you beg for death. Till next time, brat."

Dark Leader Dragon flaps his wings wide open and took flight towards the sky. He flies away and disappears into nothingness.

Yugi continues being on his knees, feeling so useless to not be able to do nothing to the Dark Lord's warnings and threats he just made. He felt completely crushed and defeated, the worst way he ever had been since ever. He gritted his teeth as he says while hitting his fist onto the ground. "I can't believe… that monster… won't leave me alone! WHY! What did I do to deserve this?! WHAT!"

Yami didn't know what to say about his partner. He knew if he tried to cheer him up, then Yugi wouldn't listen to him. Yugi had no clue on what he can even do now. Suddenly, he then felt something on top him. He looks up and saw Jiraiya who had his hand over his shoulder.

"Come on, kid. Don't worry about that. You still gave Dark Leader Dragon a fight with those moves of yours. It's not easy to beat or completely humiliate him. I was just lucky!" Jiraiya declared with a smirk over his face.

Yugi just looked at him and responded with a still unsure depressed face. "I know. I… just… wanted to beat him now for good. I have friends I need to protect, and I don't want them or the other friends who are helping me fighting against the Dark Lord to get hurt. And I wasn't even close to beat him. The other times when dealing with his forces, I had others to help me and together we beat him. However… if I just defeat Dark Leader Dragon with my own power, then I can finally proof that I am the Dragon Knight and never have to be one after it. Just going back to my normal life. But I lost, and now Ichigo-kun and everyone else I love and care about are going to be endangered because I failed to just beat him."

Yugi continued being miserable… until he remembered back on how hopeless it felt back then when fighting the likes of Pegasus, Yami Marik, Dartz and even Yami Bakura with Zorc. Sometimes, he couldn't let such a thing break him. He knows better than let sadness and despair break him, and he had to get up from such a thing.

Jiraiya noticed that Yugi began to stand up on his feet. Yugi grabbed tight on his Dragon Sword, refusing to back down from this. Yugi declares with a confident tone in his voice, as if he was a different person. "But… I can't let such thing as despair to kill or break my spirit. I'll find a way… to defeat him. I refuse to give up or allow that freak to kill my friends. I will protect every single one of them, I will learn to master my powers and learn new moves and techniques, I will defeat Dark Leader Dragon and the Dark Lords and I will do my best to make sure my father's death wasn't in vain! No matter what, I'll always believe in my true strength to grow stronger! That's the kind of person I must be and who I will be!"

On that moment he said his re-heroic speech, Jiraiya saw someone else who looked like Yugi, but taller and a bit older around 24-27 years old. He had blond, straight front hair with a few purple dyed haired on the tips with black stripes on his sides, a long black, brownish open collar jacket and the kindest smile on his face with hope and courage. It was Yugi's father, Sackertin Mutou; the last Dragon Knight, which surprised the Sannin for a brief second, until he only saw Yugi again.

Jiraiya says in thought with a smile on his face. "Just like his father, his hope was passed on to his kid. Ironic how your son even acts like you did too. People thought that he should be more, but he wanted to change the world with his power, his love and his hope for humanity. His son still has a lot to go, but he's getting there. At least."

Yugi says to him while walking away and putting his sword back to its sheath. "Thanks a lot for today, I own you one later. Please don't tell anyone about this. I'll be going. I need to think about my next plan. So… thank you, and good bye."

Before he left, breathing heavily after everything, Jiraiya finally questioned him in a serious tone. "And what are you going to do to learn your powers for the next time you'll fight the Dark Lord?"

Yugi stopped walking as he was and slowly turned around. Jiraiya continues saying with his arms folded. "He'll return and target your friends. They won't be able to defend themselves from him and they'll likely die."

Yugi responds with a serious and suspicious tone. "I know. That's why I need to improve myself and become stronger. And why would you care?"

"Who knows, but I know you know that, but without proper training, you won't get far." Jiraiya replied as Yugi lowered his head, getting depressed that he might be right. He already got so far by himself, and he needs help to further improve his skills.

"However, I might be able to help." Jiraiya declares which surprises Yugi very much, lifting his head from depression. "Are you… going to help me? But can I ask, you're not going to train me to become a pervert. Right?"

Jiraiya instantly snaps as he shouts with a shocked, angry tone. "HEY! Quit calling me a pervert! I'm a legendary shinobi that is willing to train you!"

Yugi then says with a smirk. "Don't worry, just playing with you. I know you're good and amazing. I might as well guess that you know my father, right."

Jiraiya was astonished he knew that much. He smirks as he simply nods. Yugi continues saying with a determined tone. "If I learn from others besides using my sword, then I'll be a better Dragon Knight and a stronger person too."

There was a small silence until Yugi says with a more determine tone and look. "Okay, I'm in this training thing. If you teach me on how to use that Rasengan thing move or that Summoning Jutsu, or anything to help me then I will beat down that demon lizard and protect those around me."

Jiraiya smiled as Yugi was truly determinate to become stronger. He finally says with his arms still folded up. "You remind me of someone I know who is eager to learn powerful moves. I'll try, but you must come with me for at least a few days to train."

Yugi thought for a moment, hesitative by the offer. He didn't want to worry his friends if he was missing, nor his grandpa or his older sister but he had no choice. He had to if he wishes to protect them all. He finally answers him. "Because you did save my life and you're not some evil, killing stranger, I guess a few days without school and going with your idea to be trained by you is okay. But I need to call my Grandpa to inform him on the situation. He knows about my secret, so it's okay for him to know where she is."

"Of course, but don't call me a stranger. Call me… your trainer or teacher." Jiraiya suggested. Yugi smirks as he takes out his cellphone and dials the number to his house. He got a ring and his grandfather's voice appeared. "Hello, Sugoroku Mutou here."

"Hey Grandpa. Can I ask you for a favor?" Yugi responds as his grandfather sounds surprise to hear him. "Yugi? Is something wrong? Has something happened to you?"

Yugi then explained what had happened to his Grandpa. He was surprised to hear Dark Leader Dragon's return, but more about Jiraiya's appearance.

"Ah. Somehow, Sackertin was one to know that those from Minato's world would return here. And it's a good thing too. Now Yugi will be better in his skills. Hopefully, he'll be able to do fine.'' Yugi's grandfather thought to himself, understanding that Yugi needs to do this. ''Alright Yugi, have fun then.''

Yugi asked his Grandpa in concern, surprised to hear that from him. "Grandpa, are you sure about this?"

Grandpa answers him. "Yes, I do. I'll call the school about your absence, make an excuse for your sister and for everyone else and… good luck son. Everyone else will be waiting for you."

Yugi was still unsure to do this, but he smiles as he responds back. "Thanks for everything. Bye Grandpa, I'll come back soon. Promise."

With that, his grandfather said goodbye and end the conversation by turning off the phone.

Jiraiya asked the young Dragon Knight in a curious look. "So… are you ready or do you need to call someone else?"

Yugi thought to himself if he needed to call anyone else. He just nudged his shoulders and replied. "Nay. I'm fine like this. Sure, Jonouchi will be pretty mad, but besides him, everyone else will understand. "

Jiraiya made a smile and said with a humorist tone while bending his head to see him. "Then what are we waiting for, let's go!"

Yugi nods and looks up in the sky. Yugi had this look of determination, clinching his hand tight about what the Dark Lord said. He wants to beat him so badly that right now he has to. He thought to himself with a serious look. "The next time we cross paths, I won't hesitate in beating you, Dark Leader Dragon."

Jiraiya then jumps and leaps quickly to a tree. He stops from a distance and shouts to him. "What are you waiting for?! An invitation?! Hurry up!"

Yugi smirks and runs quickly towards him while Jiraiya continues on slowly. When the two were beside each other, the two went faster towards their unknown destination. Yugi felt sad and thought in wonder. "I hope everyone else is okay and don't worry about me. I'm sure they'll understand."

Yami appears behind him and says to him in thought. "They will understand, I know they will.''

Yugi nods slowly as the two headed out, as the young man hopes he can grow stronger for his friends.

Elsewhere…

Ichigo Momomiya was running around in a scared and panicky face. She was running around the block, hoping to spot Yugi still walking around. She shouldn't be concerned of this matter, but a friend is a friend and Yugi is a good friend, and she had this strong feeling he was in trouble. "Where is he? Where is he?"

After helping her father, she left in a hurry to find Yugi, but with no luck. She tried to think things clearly in a different point, and she thought of something. ''He could be at home. Maybe this was something else… oh god. I hope it wasn't someone else or it would wrong.''

Ichigo began dialing on her new, pink cellphone. She thought while waiting for a ring. "I'm glad that dad bought me a new cellphone after I lost mine. I should've told Yugi about it during lunch if it wasn't for Jonouchi's stupid story when he had to go to the other side of town for just toilet paper. I hope Mr. Mutou-san answers."

Someone finally answers the ringing, and it is Jenny who answers. "Hello, Mutou's Card Shop here. Who am I speaking to?"

Ichigo was nervous to responds because she knew right away it was Yugi's older sister. She never spoke nor even met her. It could be her or some girl that maybe Yugi's grandfather… ''You watch too much TV Ichigo. Even so, an old man is an old man.''

Ichigo had to answers even if she had doubts, so she answered with a nervous, scared and low tone. "Yes… May I be speaking to Jennifer Mutou?"

Jenny got surprised to hear a young girl to responds with a kind and grateful voice because not everyone calls her by her full name. Ichigo was grateful that Yugi told her his sister's full name. Jenny responds to her politely. "Yes, this is Jenny Mutou. Who may this be?"

"I know I never met you, but I'm one of your brother's friends. I'm Ichigo Momomiya." Ichigo introduces herself, still nervous. She's like that, because of all the things Yugi told her about his older sister.

Jenny responds in an astonished tone, as she's delight to be speaking to the girl that Yugi and her Grandpa were talking about. "So you're Ichigo-chan. Yugi told me about you. You really got my attention since I heard about you. Just between us, are you his girlfriend?"

Ichigo was overwhelmed by her question. She barely responds while almost feeling being chocked. "Um… we're friends actually, but… eh… and that's okay too! Hahaha… yeah."

Jenny started giggling by her emotional responds. Ichigo apologizes with small blushes while being closer to her cellphone. "Sorry… I'm very sorry about that. I was wondering if Yugi-kun is at home."

Jenny giggles a bit more as she answers her a tad bit calmer. "I'm should be sorry for asking you that. And I was just curious too. As for my brother, he is not home, because my grandfather has just informed me that he's in a special trip with someone he knows. I'm not sure who, but I will get back to you as soon as he comes back, and after I talk to him."

Still not feeling good yet not completely disappointed, Ichigo understood as she thanks Jenny with some relief in her tone. "Oh. Okay, thank you so much Jenny-san. Bye-bye."

As soon as Ichigo hang up, Jenny also started to get some worries about Yugi and where he is. And she was mad too. Ichigo continue being unsure if Yugi is okay or not. She knows deep down in her that he is in trouble. Ichigo sighs, not wanting to panic again, as she decides to look for some signs of a battle.

Ichigo looked around for about an hour and no luck. Feeling defeated, Ichigo decides to go to work and just… work. She headed to the train station and along the way, she found something distributing. She found signs of burned ground, multiple crater-like holes, multiple slashes on the ground and debris of building walls and of the ground.

Ichigo immediately knew this was what made her unease, and she began to worried as well. She knew, with a sad look, that Yugi was the one fighting and it was certain it's a losing battle.

"Did Yugi-kun really fought someone of the Dark Lord's forces and lost? Aw! What if it was that Dark Leader Dragon and Yugi-kun…'' Ichigo thoughts were getting to her as she shook her head to not believe that.''No! Yugi must be okay. Someone must have helped him or…"

She pauses for a moment to look on her feet. Ichigo was actually scared of the thought that Yugi needed her help, well as Mew Ichigo, and she wasn't even there to help him. She has the power to make sure she can protect anyone, and yet, she couldn't even come to help a friend like him. She continues thinking with an upset look. "I… should have been here. Maybe if I told him the truth about me, then he wouldn't be in any trouble… but I can't. I should have asked him to wait for me, but then again… do I… like Yugi-kun more than Masaya-kun."

She once more shook her head to not let her ideas get to her again. She knows who she loves and that's Yugi. She raised her head up and jumped up and down for five times. She then shouts out in a slight peppy tone. "Of course not! I love Masaya-kun. Just… Yugi-kun, be safe."

She takes a breather out and relaxes. With that, Ichigo headed out to Café Mew Mew and continued wishing that Yugi will be okay.

Meanwhile… In a forest in the outskirt of Domino:

Yugi was trying his best to catch up with the so-called Toad Sage. He thought to himself with an exhausted look. "I think I prefer P.E. than this long, unsure how long to our destination trip. I'm… way too tired, and I should be tired."

Jiraiya was faster than Yugi and moved way too quickly for an old man. Yami slightly smirk on how much of the difference between strength Yugi had with the pervert man. Jiraiya shouts to Yugi when he stopped on a tree branch, seeing how exhausted the boy was. "Keep up, will ya!"

Yugi sighs as he tries to hurry up. Jiraiya waited until Yugi was in front of that tree, and taking a small breather as he hold on the tree branch. The Sannin asks the young kid while he leaps to the next tree branch. "Oh… by the way, you don't mind if my apprentice joins us in your training?"

Yugi had an astound stare as he relied. "What?! You have an apprentice too! At first, I thought you were this pervert who spies on women, but you are also this great shinobi ninja who's extremely powerful and has a student of his own. From all that… you're still this weird person, Jiraiya-san."

''… EH!'' Jiraiya freaked out as he stared at Yugi with great astonished. Yugi raise his eyebrow, sweat dropping, as he asks. ''Something wrong?''

Jiraiya quickly snaps out and answers him while both grinning and slightly panicking. ''NO, NO! I'm happy to see a young man show respect to his elders.''

Yugi smiles, blushing reddish, as he liked the compliment that Jiraiya gave him. He always tries his best to be respect towards anyone, although he has his limits too for whom and why.

''Sure! After saving me, I have to; although, you got to stop acting like a pervert.'' Yugi suggested with a small smirk.

''WELL EXCUSE ME FOR BEING A LITTLE… grinning.'' Jiraiya answers angrily at first, before grinning with blushes of imaging naked women. Yugi sweat drops as he had a feeling he shouldn't ask.

Yugi says while chuckling with the same smirk. "Don't go crazy on me… um… you. I just think you are one, but… I guess you're okay too for protecting and helping others."

Jiraiya: "Um… thank you. And call me Master Jiraiya." He felt almost overwhelm by his compliment that he had a ridicules, funny face.

''Eh… I prefer Jiraiya-san.'' Yugi pointed out which made the white haired Sannin to grin happily. ''We all have our opinions and taste. I got to say it kid, you're not half bad!''

Yugi nods with a small smile, happy to sort of hear that.

After some time later of running, they arrived to some large, waterfall lake with a small fire camp-ground. Yugi was curious where this place was, and why no one notice such a place.

Jiraiya notices the young Dragon Knight's curiosity of the place they were at and immediately tells him. "This place is close to the patrol area between your city and my home of Konoha. And no, I can't tell you why this place exists. It's… personal."

Yugi nods in agree, not much curious of such a place. Suddenly, both of them sense someone was coming at them. For Yugi, it was always a rush when he sense that. "What is this sensation? It's not the same when a Dark Lord or a danger sense."

"This is Chakra sense. A shinobi can concentrate their own Chakra to sense on others Chakra. Only high-level user or Sensor-type ninjas can detect others with ease. Then again, for you it might be different just so.'' Jiraiya explained as Yugi just nodded, still not getting it much but he got the message. ''Plus, don't panic. I know this one; it's my student. I told him to come here."

Yugi was wondering if the Toad Sage knew he was going to agree to his training for him. He started to notice that this person's energy was very familiar, until he finally got it.

"I recognize this one too. I know him. It's…" Before Yugi could answer, that person appeared in front of the two. It was none other than Naruto Uzumaki who was grinning.

"Yo Ero-Sennin, what's with the message you sent me. If it's about money or help you with your ''research'', then just forget it! And another thing…" Naruto was stating angrily at the Sannin, before he noticed Yugi was standing there.

The two young teenagers saw each other as Yugi first says with a nervous voice and a stunned stare on his face. "Nar… Naruto-kun?!"

Naruto then said as he lowered his head for the ''-kun'' part again. "AH! You keep calling me that! And yup! Long time no see, Yugi!"

"Yeah… eh, what are you doing here?'' Yugi asked, still surprised to assumed that Jiraiya's student was Naruto of all people. It seemed perfectly right and wrong for some reasons.

''I also wanted to ask you that too.'' Naruto added with a curious look as he stared at Jiraiya.

Jiraiya was in a mild, but yet a joyful look as he says to Naruto. "So you met Yugi already. Good, so things won't be so complex for all."

Naruto declares angrily while pointing his finger to his mentor. "What in the world is going on Ero-Sennin?"

Jiraiya answers while pointing his finger back to him angrily. "Quit calling me "Ero-Sennin"! First was an old man, a pervert. I DON'T LIKE THAT!"

Yugi asked with a confuse anime look and a sweat drop behind his head. "Are you two related in some way? Also…Naruto, this pervert of a master ninja… guy is your mentor and you call him "Ero-Sennin"? It… makes sense to call him that after seeing him look at naked women."

''Pretty much, ya know! Although we're not related and I wouldn't want to be. That old pervert loves that type of stuff.'' Naruto answered with a confident smirk.

Jiraiya disagrees to that too with his head lower down. "Now you too! Why do people I know call me by pervert or worst?"

"Because… you are one." Naruto mutter. Yugi says with a bigger sweat drop. "Okay? So… you learn that Rasengan technique from Jiraiya-san right?"

Naruto nods to his question. He then demanded to Jiraiya with a serious look. "So…WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED?!"

Without a second thought, Jiraiya told him exactly what had happened. Naruto was somehow disappointed that he still hasn't face this Dark Leader Dragon that's giving his new friend a lot of trouble. Yugi is just amazed why Naruto would want to fight such dangerous foes. Naruto was also sad that Yugi couldn't beat him, but glad that Jiraiya saved him.

After listening to Jiraiya's story, Naruto declares firmly with his eyes closed and his arms folded. "Okay… that was some tale, but I still don't get why Yugi is doing here?"

Yugi sweat drops once more, not believing the fact that Naruto doesn't still get it.

"I want to be able to fight the demon lizard and protect everyone else too. I won't let him hurt those most closest to me. This is why I need some training, and that's why I am here." Yugi answers him, both determined and scared of the situation.

Naruto understood what he meant by that. He would know, because for Naruto he needs to grow stronger too. So he can understand Yugi's reasons just as much as he does too. He nods with his eyes opened up and smirks. "Right! Then you might need my help too if you want to beat this Dark Lord weirdo."

Yugi got excited to hear that. He says while raising his fist up to his face. "Then I might have a chance to beat him with your help!"

Naruto grins as he's getting excited too. "Of course! As the future Hokage, I'll help my allies and friends on anything!"

Jiraiya looked at the two by how they quickly became friends. He says to both. "Then I guess that we have everything work out, we can start Yugi's training."

"So… what are you going to teach Yugi, Ero-Sennin?" Naruto asked Jiraiya while picking on his left ear. Jiraiya looked back to Yugi for a moment and answered his apprentice. "Because he's the Dragon Knight, that's why. I going to teach him my best to help him in understanding Chakra, and hopefully he'll get an idea to use our ways with Jutsu in his own way, like his father."

Naruto was in complete shocked and yells to Yugi with his non-pupil white eyes. "Father?! Your dad was the last one of those Dragon Knight guys… guys?!"

Yugi nodded as he told him with a sad tone. "Yes. He died with my mother when I was around 2 years old. I recently found out that he was this great knight who fought against the Dark Lord."

Naruto frowned to hear that. He can also understand Yugi as he never met his parents either.

"I'm sorry to hear that." The blond-headed shinobi said as Yugi shook his head and replied. "No problem. Things like that happen, so I have to stay alive until the end, I guess."

Naruto agrees with a big grin. He turns to Jiraiya and asks him again on Yugi's training. "So what Jutsu is first?"

Jiraiya says while wagging his finger like a teacher to his misbehaved student. "First thing is first, I want Yugi to learn what Chakra is and how to use it. Basics pretty much, because for him, the journey is different.

"Okay, but I have been able to use Dragon Shadow Clone Jutsu a few times since my battle against Naruto. So don't I know plenty on this Chakra?" Yugi questions the training method. Jiraiya simply smirks as he whacks Yugi by the forehead with his two fingers. ''OUCH!''

"Don't get cocky, kid. Even someone like you needs to know the basics first. So… do you know how someone can gain and use Chakra?"

Yugi rubbed his forehead as he thought for a moment. He tried to remember back when he read that book about spiritual forces and energy. He then answered with a snap of his fingers. "Chakra is energy from the mix of both physical and spiritual of one's body and soul. Physical energy is from training and exercise and Spiritual energy is from the experience and concentration of one's mind and self. So I can guess that's how Chakra is used to create and manipulate the use of Jutsus. So I can say that if you have the capable chakra, you can use powerful Jutsus.''

Naruto was speechless to what Yugi just said. Jiraiya slightly smirks as the kid is very brilliant for someone in his age.

''My problem is I barely had such Chakra to use my Dragon Clone technique. Meaning if I was able to use that Jutsu, then what help me?" Yugi adds as this considers him more.

Jiraiya answers him with a serious look. "It was because of your Dragon-DNA that you were able to awoken your dormant power, but not fully. This explains how you can use your Dragon Clones a bit better than Naruto's Shadow Clones."

"Hey! I'm standing here!" Naruto yelled angrily at the Sannin who grinned a little. "My bad. Anyway, in order for you to use more frequently on your energy to use Chakra, you need to train and learn to truly possess it."

Yugi felt a little uneasy, almost as if this would be harsh and painful. Not to mention that it might take too much time as well. He asked him with an unsure look. "So… I need to large amount of exercise, right? Which also means it won't be easy and it will take time."

Jiraiya nods his head with a smile on his face. He says while pointing to a nearby tree, then the lake and then Naruto. "Exactly! Because we don't have time till Dark Leader Dragon makes his move again on one of your friends, I need you to be 100% sure on doing this. One can gain more Chakra and learn to use it better is in a fight more than practicing. So… before I train you to concentrate and improving on using it by climbing a tree with your feet or walking on water, I want you to first have a large clone battle against Naruto."

Yugi was confused by his training methods, but he agreed with a determine face. "I am 100% ready to master my powers. I refuse to let this slow me down, even if I have to fight Naruto-kun again."

''Yosh! Then I can't wait to battle Yugi full on!'' Naruto declares, all rev-up to fight. Jiraiya then said to him with a happy, wide smile. "This is also training for you too Naruto, because you need to also gain more control and gain more Chakra than before, especially against him."

This made Naruto very serious, knowing that Jiraiya was referring to his friend, Sasuke. Naruto clinched his fist furiously that he vowed he won't hesitate to fight him. He declares, over-excited, with so much determination. "Then why didn't you say that in the first place! Let's go Yugi! MULTI SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!"

In a flash and appearance of large white smokes, there were so many Naruto clones that it was an army size. Yugi was impressed by Naruto's improved clone Jutsu. Yami declares mentally to his partner. "Are you sure about this? If so, then we should do this together."

Yugi shook his head and responds in thought. "No. I know that we're stronger together, but I have to do this on my own. Either way, when we become one, we both learned everything from the other. I want… to prove myself to protect our friends."

Yami was astonished by how his old partner has grown-up so much, or in this case, still is growing up. He says to him in thought with a smile. "Okay, I believe in you. Good luck. I'll at least give you some pointers."

"Right. Let's do this then." Yugi answers as he closes his eyes and starts concentrating. He needed to think clearly on what he needs to do and whom he's doing this for. As he opens up his eyes, he unsheltered his Dragon Sword and held it with both hands.

"Just remember Naruto-kun… I don't have time to play around. So I'll beat you right now!" Yugi warns Naruto who smirks on the comment and responds. "And you just remember I can't let you beat me either!"

There was a small silence like in a western showdown. Then without any warning, Yugi and Naruto with his clone army charges at each other and the battle royal began.

Jiraiya took some distances away from the two and sat behind a shady, large tree. He said to himself while watching the two young kids fight each other for fun. "This remains me how the Fourth and Sacto always had one of those fights to prove who was better. I hope… Yugi can learn these powers of his so he beat Dark Leader Dragon. He is… somehow our one and only hope."

Both fighters seriously fought with all they had. Yugi did some Dragon Slice Attacks and Dragon Shadow Clone Jutsu, but it was hard against Naruto's clone army with them throwing Rasengan and throwing Kunais back and forth.

Most moments, Yugi almost was outnumbered and exhausted and was about to just fall down and lay there. However, he thought of Jonouchi, Anzu, Honda, Danny, Judai, Sonic, Shadow, IchigoK and Ichigo M. He also thought of his grandfather, Jenny and everyone else who will suffer because of Dark Leader Dragon's acts. He refused to let that monster win. He got up over and over to not give up in myself and for everyone else. Naruto also notices that Yugi is trying his hardest to not lose. He felt glad that there was someone else so determined to never lose to anyone like him.

Before Yugi thought that he beat all of Naruto's clones, he just summoned more and more. Yugi had to use Dragon Spin Harpoon Slash and Dragon Speed Burst combos to hit and confuse him which it alarm and astonish him. So, Naruto had to make things very more difficult for the young Dragon Knight. He creates another Rasengan, but his clone kept pouring in more rotation and power to it which made it bigger. He shouts out while he and his clone charges with the new bigger version Jutsu of the pervious. "GREAT BALL RASENGAN!"

Yugi was in complete amazed by Naruto's improved Rasengan version, but he refused to lose now. He twirls his sword faster and faster until he shouts out while swings it. "Beat this! DRAGON SLICE ATTACK MAX POWER!"

He unleashed his own, bigger version of his crescent energy slash attack. Both improved version attacks collided in a huge explosion that sent both flying backwards. The blast took out all of Naruto's shadow clones and created a huge crater where both attacks touched. Both Yugi and Naruto were knocked out cold that both fell unconscious. Jiraiya gets up and says to himself while putting his right hand on his right cheek face. "This is going to be tougher that I thought… but at least I can sense a little of his Chakra. I'll let them rest until I get bored and force them up."

He sat down again and looked at the sunset that was coming down to night. In Yugi's head, the only think he was thinking about how he didn't want things to be. Even so, now that they have, he needs to grow stronger to beat the Dark Lord.

How will Yugi master his Chakra power and learn to use new Jutsu before his next battle against Dark Leader Dragon? Will Ichigo ever tell Yugi her secret before it's too late? I wouldn't tell you… yet.

To be continued…
