I am borrowing Erika Aoyama and Mew Erika from Redwallfan2000 from Fan as one of the other characters in this anime story. Ichigo Momomiya has also the name of "Tokadul" and she is 16 years old than 12-13 like in the anime/manga. This is not also a copy of either any "Dragon knight" or "Dragon Knights" stories, but it's weird that I never heard of them until now. It is my idea, even if the names of it are weird. Some characters will have, sometimes, a short written name. 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. Also note that most techniques/Jutsus from Naruto will be in its English form and others in its Japanese forms.

(OPENING 2: GO! by FLOW from Naruto)

Volume 2: Episode 24: A God's Legendary Evolution! Yugi vs Shintaro!

In the Previous Episode of DKR:

Ichigo was in a bad situation, not sure what to do with the prize deck she won in her first tournament and yet she knew she couldn't just use it at the prize of ditching the other deck her friends helped her build including herself.

Anzu had a solution and thanks to everyone else, Ichigo combine the prize deck and her current deck and made them into one as she and the brunette haired would dueled to test how good the deck is now. The real purpose of the duel was for Anzu to learn something she needed to know and that was if Ichigo had feelings for Yugi.

Their duel commence as both were doing their best against the other even till the point that Anzu had the advantage. And that was when Anzu made her move, asking the big question to the pigtail girl. Ichigo was shocked to hear that, not sure how to react but soon revealed her somewhat feelings for Yugi but made it clear that she was in love with Masaya no matter what. Anzu felt sad to hear that, questioning if she was certain by following her inner heart. Ichigo wasn't sure but she followed that heart within her heart to gain a connection with her new deck and create a new power yet unseen.

With Battle City V3's finals approaching, can Yugi overcome the challenges up ahead? What will happen next?

And now the conclusion... a few days after the last episode:

It is now the last hours before Battle City V3's finals have finally arrived. The tournament begins tonight so all the remaining duelists who possess their 7 Locator Cards must be prepared for the greatest of challenges, especially our tricolor head duelist.

During classes, Yugi was just trying to finish his schoolwork while his friends were curious if he had everything set with his deck.

"You think you got the perfect deck Yugi?'' Jonouchi asks his best buddy as they were now on study class. Yugi sweat drops, not at all perfect since there's no such thing as the perfect deck. If there was, it wouldn't be a fun deck.

''I wouldn't call it perfect. I would refer to it as the one best suited for this.'' Yugi explains, still smiling about it. Jonouchi sighs, agreeing with that.

Yugi nods too, eyeing his deck and holding it tight, remembering the promise he made Ishizu.

"This deck will help me to save Marik-kun and stop Dark Leader Dragon.'' Yugi mutters, keeping his promise to protect what's precious to her and that's her brother and step-brother. He's not going to allow the Dark Lord to get away with taking their family away.

Anzu blushes, noticing the struggle that Yugi must be going through. He's become more responsible, making her feel worried for him. ''Yugi.''

''You'll do fine.'' Honda tells Yugi, giving him a pat on the back as the purple-eyes blush. Jonouchi nods firmly, stepping forward and adds smirking. ''And so will I!''

Anzu sweat drops, now more than worried. Jonouchi gives her a look and explains, holding on Yugi's left shoulder. ''After all I got Yugi's back on this. We're a team after all.''

''Jonouchi-kun.'' Yugi smiles softly, relief he's not doing this alone as he had his friends with him. If he didn't have them, he would be really alone.

Jonouchi yawns, stretching his arms as he declares grinning. ''Well we should head out.''

''We still have classes.'' Anzu protested reading her textbook to be ready for the quiz that was coming up in the next class. Yugi nods, knowing the same. Jonouchi and Honda however weren't so thrill about it.

''Well I thought we can just skip them now.'' Honda explained, wishing they could avoid the quiz that was coming up. Jonouchi agreed so badly.

Anzu was still against the idea so much as she tells him. ''Yea, don't ruin our grades. I rather not get in trouble thank you very much!''

''…'' Both Honda and Jonouchi groan, eyeing their textbooks and start reading them with annoyance. Yugi smiles a little as he looks around, seeing everyone studying too… except for a certain red head.

Yugi eyes Ichigo, her face lay down on her desk almost depressed while banging her head a little.

''Ichigo-kun looks pretty down. And she was fine after her dueled with Anzu right?'' Yugi asks the Pharaoh telepathically, frowning to see her like that.

''She was partner, but… wait, are you going to worry about her at a time like this?'' Atem questions instantly puzzled that his partner is still worry about the cherry head. It's like there's always something wrong with Ichigo like the other day she was miserable just because her home lunch was eating by her father. She was grumpy and almost dragged herself all day.

''Sorry, I mean Ichigo-kun is usually down most of the time but I still don't like to see her as such.'' Yugi replies mentally, sweat dropping that indeed Ichigo is always down but he prefer to see her happy-going than anything else. Atem sighs, still not sure why this is bothering her but he trusts in Yugi, telling her.''… Alright then, do your best Yugi.''

The tricolor head nods, going to see what he can do for Ichigo before the tournament tonight. He still has time, plenty hopefully.

Time passed as school ended with both Jonouchi and Honda sighing that they were below the mark of their quiz so they would have to try harder next time. Anzu smiled, having a decent score along with Yugi.

''Alright, time to go!'' Jonouchi declares, wishing to move on from his somewhat failure and succeed as an incredible duelist who will beat the rich boy he despises.

Yugi nods to that although he has to do stuff first. He tells his friends as he grabs his stuff from his locket. ''You guys go on ahead. I got to go somewhere.''

The others blink, surprised to hear that as they expecting they should spend time together before the big tournament.

''Um you sure?'' Jonouchi asks, curious if his best friend was sure about it. The tricolor head nods firmly, answering honest. ''I am. I'll make it before the finals begin.''

The three eyed each other, worry on what if Yugi doesn't make it but they still wish to trust in him and nod.

''Well okay.'' The three said, still unsure but trust in him as Jonouchi adds serious. ''Just don't come late. You know how much that Kaiba doesn't like anyone to show up late in their tournament, especially you.''

Yugi nods sweat dropping that the only person who would get mad if he came late is Kaiba. After all, this whole tournament is to prove who is the strongest duelist and the only one Kaiba couldn't beat with his full power was Yugi.

''I know but I'll make it.'' The tricolor proclaims, going to make it. The others nod as Yugi waves goodbye and heads out running.

''You better!'' Jonouchi shouts at him, reminding him to not fail in his promise.

Yugi heard that and waves as he runs off. He realizes that he needs to get his stuff back home first.

''I should make a quick stop first.'' Yugi mutters to himself, running off home first. He arrives as he removes his sneakers on the exit and runs up to his room.

Jenny heard footsteps as she was writing on her laptop, seeing the tricolor head pass by to his room. ''Oh Yugi!''

She went to grab an envelope that's meant for him that arrived today. She walks to his room, just as Yugi comes out, grabbing his Duel Disk.

''Just grabbing these.'' Yugi says, walking down to the stairs. Jenny blinks, noticing he barely ate anything and grab something from the kitchen and stops him just as he puts on his sneakers.

''Here.'' Jenny tells him, handing him a bottle of healthy orange juice. Yugi was startled by this but smiles a little, receiving it. ''Thank you.''

Jenny smiles, knowing he needs to fill his stomach with energy so he can do his best without an empty stomach.

''And also win.'' She tells him to encourage his spirit. Yugi nods already encourage to give it his all. ''Right!''

Jenny smiles to hear that, seeing the determination in her eyes. He was more than ready.

''Oh yea!'' Jenny suddenly remembers, handing him the envelope which surprised him. ''You got these from the mail today.''

Yugi receives the envelope and opens it, curious what he got. All he saw inside was a letter and two Duel Monster cards. He first went to read the note and blinks, only having the words ''Use them wisely and one of those cards will only reveal itself when you see the path you must follow.''. There was no name or anything else on it as he grabs the cards inside and widens his eyes at one of the two cards.

''This card!'' Yugi utters in shock as did Atem, both not expecting to see the card again. ''But who did…?''

Jenny blinks eyeing the card he was looking at and just wasn't so impressed although the other one was a different exception.

''And what of this card? It's blank.'' She asks, confused why a Duel Monster card would be white like that. Yugi wasn't so sure himself but it's not the first time a card is blank. ''No idea.''

He wasn't sure who would leave these cards to him. His guess leads towards Pegasus himself but if it was Pegasus, he would be dramatic and more of the center of attention with a video tape. At any chance, he'll keep both cards at hand, placing one of them in his deck.

Jenny just eyes him and smiles, rubbing his hair and telling him in a teasing tone. ''Anyway, do your best.''

Yugi blushes softly, wishing it was easy to do his best in a tournament that would endanger everyone.

''And Yugi…'' Jenny adds, telling him serious as he held him close by the shoulders. ''Believe in those cards and in yourself.''

He was taken back by her words but smile, nodding to her words as he needs to believe in what he can achieve.

''I will, always!'' Yugi thanks her, promising her that as Jenny nods with a small smile. With that, Yugi waves goodbye after sending his goodbye to his grandpa who told Yugi to always keep a steady head and focus towards what he wants. The tricolor head nods and leaves, walking out.

''… And be careful.'' Jenny mutters, not wanting him to get hurt. Sugoroku Mutou comforts her, having faith that Yugi will do fine as he always done.

Yugi heads out, running in hopes to catch up to the cherry pigtail.

''Now to-'' The tricolor head was trying to mutter to himself, making a turn and immediately bumps in or well rather slams his head on Ichigo's. Both groan in pain, rubbing their heads while trying not to sob as they eye each other.

''Ichigo-kun!'' Yugi utters, blushing of embarrassment that he did that. Ichigo was also embarrassed since she was too distracted to not see where she was going. ''Yugi-kun!''

Both were silent before trying to laugh a bit, both feeling embarrassed of the other too.

''I notice how worry you looked from school.'' Yugi asks her, wishing to get the point than rumble on. Ichigo sighs, figuring he would notice or someone else as she apologizes. ''Sorry, I was just in a fight with my Oto-san. You know how I and he disagree in most things.''

Yugi sweat drops, recalling the time her father wished to record the time he kinda fell asleep on Ichigo's room and she sort of trip on him and fell on top of him. And then there was another that her father ate a fish that she was saving and she snapped. He heard it wasn't a pretty picture.

''What did you and your father fought about this time?'' Yugi asks, curious what this discussion was about this time. Ichigo, however, really didn't want to bother him with the details.

''SIGH… long story Nya.'' Ichigo muttered, too focus in just wanting her father to let her do this but he refuses every time, making things even more frustrating. ''But it seems I might not go there.''

Yugi widens his eyes slightly, not so sure what 'go there' meant but he took a guess and it must be the tournament's finals.

''Could it be she might not be able to come with me to the finals?'' The tricolor head questioned himself mentally, not at all sure if it's that but he couldn't do much to disagree. ''Well it is her father's decision.''

Ichigo sighs, not sure how to deal with her problem.

''Unless…'' Ichigo tries to think of something and suddenly snaps her fingers, having an idea. ''FOLLOW ME NYA!''

Ichigo instantly grabs Yugi's hand before he could reply and runs off, pulling the boy like a dog as he's being taken.

''While you're dragging me, guess I don't have a choice.'' Yugi mutters, trying to hold his screams in his mind as Ichigo happened to drag him through a red light just as multiple cars were coming at them. He's grateful of her cat-like senses and speed, and even strength… but he wishes he could pee himself now if it wasn't for the fact that he doesn't want to go back home and tell Jenny what happened.

The two arrived at Ichigo's home as they enter, removing their shoes and walks forward as they stopped at the strangest thing. It was like the small home living room was turned into a kendo as they freaked out to see a large body armored samurai appear, shouting as he raise his sword. ''WAA!''

Yugi sweat drops, not sure if he should pull his Dragon Sword by the face that samurai step forward and fell on his face. Ichigo sighs, walking over and removes the samurai mask, figuring it was her father.

''OTO-SAN!'' Ichigo growl furious, almost wanting to kick him for scaring them.

Shintaro groans, rubbing his forehead as he looks up to see his daughter glaring at him. He sweat dropped as he instantly stood up and laughed.

''I knew you would come!'' He told her, almost trying to be psychic but he wasn't and Ichigo saw through that. She looks behind him at what made him fall and saw the mini-staircase. She knew he wasn't that tall.

''Were you standing on a mini-staircase?'' Ichigo questions serious at her father. Shintaro coughs sweat dropping as his wife Sakura watches giggling, telling him beforehand to not try that with their smart daughter.

''Something liked that.'' He spoke, unease for answering that. He shook off his anxiety state and stood up firmly, declaring serious at his own daughter. ''Ichigo, I won't tell you again but I won't let you go into that trip.''

Yugi blinks in surprised, now assuming that this could be about Ichigo not going to the tournament.

''Could it be?'' The tricolor head questioned to himself. His thought of mind was interrupted with Ichigo's complaining voice. ''But Oto-san, I need to go! You have to understand! It's not like I'll leave you or Kaa-san, I just need to be with-''

''I can't allow my daughter to leave under those terms.'' Her father protests immediately with a firm tone, not going to break. He eyes her slightly see Ichigo's sadden face and instantly crack under the pressure.

''I DON'T WANT TO LOSE YOU MY LITTLE GIRL!'' Shintaro shouts, sobbing as he grabbed and hugged tight on his daughter. Ichigo sweat drops, feeling embarrassed as Yugi smiles softly liking this kind of family love.

''Oh dear, you can break easily.'' Sakura mutters to herself, blushing at how kind her husband is.

Ichigo groans, feeling bad to put her father into this position as she tries to explain to him nicely.''Oto-san, please, you must understand. I have to go with-''

''No! I refuse!'' Shintaro protests once again, eyeing as he held on her shoulders. Ichigo frowns in defeat, pretty certain there's nothing much she could do to convince him.

''…'' Yugi watches in silence, positive that Ichigo has a reason to define her father's orders but he shouldn't get in between them… then again, something in him told him otherwise.

''Wait, you should let Ichigo-kun do what she feels is right.'' Yugi finally speaks out, surprising the Momomiya Family with surprise as Ichigo turns, blushing in astonishment at him. ''Yugi-kun.''

Shintaro turns to eye the young boy. He knows Yugi pretty much; he has the same compassion as his father and probably the same straight-forward head just like he had.

''This is a family matter Yugi. You should understand my reasons.'' Shintaro told him calmly, trying to be an adult towards the young man. Yugi nods, understanding his reasons clearly but replied. ''I do but Ichigo-kun can also make her own decisions too since they're ones that will not betray your trust for her.''

Shintaro gasps slightly while Sakura and Ichigo eyes the tricolor head. He spoke the truth there; Ichigo's only lie is her Mew Mew identity. Everything she's done has always been right and never to break their trust for their daughter.

''That's why I like her because I believe in her choices. She always makes the right calls for everyone and wouldn't want to worry anyone. She's not going to do something you wouldn't like because she admires you, Momomiya-san.'' Yugi says, speaking his heart with a passionate tone.

Ichigo blushes softly, smiling a little at those words that he always been telling the truth. ''Yugi-kun.''

Sakura giggles, smiling that Yugi reminds him much of the man that was her husband's closest and dearest friend. Shintaro stares firmly at Yugi, admired by his words but it takes more than words to change his mind.

''… Then how about we try to settle this in a similar fashion to Funsen?'' Shintaro announces, leaving Ichigo confused by what that word meant. ''Funsen?''

''A brave battle. In other words, a duel.'' Yugi explains, knowing that term from watching some samurai movies with Jonouchi and Honda. Ichigo sweat drops, pretty much guess it would lead to that.

She eyes her father and declares at him with a confident smile, pulling and presenting her own deck at him. ''Fine Oto-san, let's duel because now that I have my own deck… I can rub it on your face.''

Yugi sweat drops that she would tell her own father that. Then again, she's not afraid to kick a man's private area.

''Now, now Ichigo.'' Her mother tries to calm her down, holding her shoulders to not try anything reckless. The last time Ichigo and her father fought didn't end well.

Shintaro coughs, somewhat scared to fight his own daughter but also his samurai's pride forbid him to fight a woman in these matters, even if it's a game of Duel Monster.

''I would want that… however…'' Shintaro begins to say, trying to come up with a good excuse or his daughter might yell at him for his samurai lifestyle. That's when he eyes Yugi and came up with a conclusion. ''I'll fight Yugi instead.''

This surprised everyone, especially Yugi with a blinking stare. ''M-me?''

Ichigo felt very confused why Yugi though even when this is her own battle.

''Um Oto-san, why Yugi-kun? I have my own deck to just duel you too.'' Ichigo asks, wishing to duel her father and not relay on Yugi for like the 5th time.

''I believe you but I wish to duel Yugi since he defended you my daughter.'' Shintaro explains his reasons, although he really wished to avoid his daughter's excitement and his fear of being beaten by her.

Ichigo actually bought it, knowing her father means well and Yugi did defend her. ''Oto-san.''

''…'' Yugi was quiet, not at all what he wanted to do before the tournament began. He should decline the challenge but if he does, not only will he be letting Ichigo down but his own pride as a duelist who would accept any duel.

Shintaro notices the concern in Yugi's face as he smiles a little.

''I mean you don't have to. It's not like it would matter to you Yugi.'' He tells the tricolor head, surprising him at first but refused to submit under those terms, shaking his head and replying. ''No, I accept the challenge.''

''Yugi-kun.'' Ichigo mutters, not wanting to involve him again. Yugi smiles at her, knowing she didn't plan for this but it's too late to turn back the clock. And this could be his only chance to test his deck now.

''Don't worry. Besides, this way I can test my deck and see how far I am for the tournament.'' He tells the red cherry head still smiling, confident that he and his deck are ready for any ordeal and foes. Ichigo just giggle a little, figuring he would do that for those reasons and honestly, it's better than nothing.

''Don't hold nothing back Yugi!'' She tells him in a peppy, serious tone. Yugi nods to her words. ''I won't!''

The two eye each other, believing the other with just the spark in their eyes. Shintaro blinks slightly, could have sworn there was something more in their stare but he shouldn't let that distract him.

The two would duel outside since there's more space there, setting up their decks and Duel Disks.

''Yugi-kun.'' Ichigo mutters, watching the duel outside the door with her mother who's smiling, hoping to see something amazing from those two.

''DUEL!'' Both duelists declared, drawing their 5 cards and commencing the duel as their Duel Disk activating.

Duel Screen: Yugi: 4000LP vs. Shintaro: 4000LP

''Yugi, how about you start?'' Shintaro suggests, wishing to give his opponent a given chance since he was dragged into this by his daughter in one form or another.

Yugi shook his head, grateful he would do that for him but he had to turn it down, explaining. ''I wouldn't mind if you started first. I am the challenger. It is only right to be an honorable duelist.''

Shintaro sobs manly, rubbing off his tears with his sleeve and nods on his wishes. ''Of course! Only true samurais would say such things.''

Yugi nods sweat dropping for how weird that sounded. Ichigo sighs annoyed, hoping her father doesn't do any more stupid samurai stuff.

Duel Screen: Turn 1_ Yugi: 4000LP H: 5 / Shintaro: 4000LP H: 5

''I'll start things off with a draw.'' Shintaro announces, starting his turn with a draw. He smiles calmly like a wise general, making his move.

"I set one card and end my turn.'' He declares setting a facedown Spell or Trap on his field and ending his turn immediately.

Yugi blinks startled, not expecting that as his only move.

"He just set a facedown and called it a turn.'' Yugi question mentally, eyeing his set card and he was certain the card is meant to do something.

Duel Screen: Turn 2_ Yugi: 4000LP H: 5 / Shintaro: 4000LP H: 5

Yugi checks his hand and smiles, announcing proudly. ''Guess it's my turn. Draw!''

He draws his top card and smiles, calling upon a monster on his field. ''First I summon Silent Magician LV0!''

Yugi declares, summoning a long and spiky-like light blue haired mage with a red/black mage outfit and wielding a unique wand.

Silent Magician LV0 Lvl 4 ATK: 1000 DEF: 1000

Ichigo giggles silently; almost positive that Yugi's monster resembles himself in some aspects.

''Attack the opponent directly Silent Magician!'' Yugi declares his attack as his magician fires a small magic blast. ''Silent Magic!''

Silent Magician charges at Shintaro and fires a small white magic blast.

''Not going to work! I reveal my Trap Card, Legendary Seppuku!'' Shintaro counters, activating a trap that shows a card that a samurai performs suicide. ''By taking half the ATK of your magician as effect damage, I negate your attack!''

Silent Magician's magic blast materialized and changed into a sword as it stabs through his stomach. Shintaro screams, not really feeling the stab but his Life Points drop by 500 and stopped Yugi's attack.

The tricolor head sweat drops, a little off by her dad's trap but smiles by how unique it was. ''Strange trap.''

''A samurai must get hurt before continuing forward, even if that path is to the next life.'' Shintaro says, almost quoting something what a samurai would do. Ichigo sweat drop, not at all having the same passion her father has for samurais.

Yugi smiles, thinking it's honorable and he eyes his hand.

''I set one card and end my turn.'' Yugi sets a card in a horizontal, facedown position behind his magician and ends his turn.

Duel Screen: Turn 3_ Yugi: 4000LP H: 4 / Shintaro: 3500LP H: 5

Shintaro smiles proudly with his arms crossed over as he unfolds them and declares. ''Now it's my turn again, draw!''

He draws and then Silent Magician suddenly changed in appearance. This surprised everyone as Yugi explains smiling. ''Silent Magician LV0 gains 500 ATK and his Level go up by 1 each time the opponent draws a card from his deck each.''

Ichigo smiles, amazed by such a powerful monster as Shintaro was also impressed.

''Interesting monster but now everything is set.'' He tells Yugi as he adds, revealing the card he drew. ''First I activate Young Samurai's effect from my hand.''

Yugi blinks as a young kid-like samurai appears on Shintaro's field along with the monster that Jonouchi fought against before, Ancient Samurai Yoshiie.

''By discarding it along with Ancient Samurai Yoshiie from my hand, I can Special Summon an Ancient Samurai monster with a higher level.'' Shintaro explains, discarding both monsters as they vanished and form a temple to summon forth a new monster. Yugi and his Silent Magician stare serious at this.

''With your quick blade, slash down all those who stand in your way for an honorable battle!'' Shintaro chants as the temple doors open up and a figure dashes like a flash of light. Appeared was a samurai wielding a short-like blade, dressed in armor underneath a male kimono outfit. ''Strike swiftly, Ancient Samurai Musashi!''

Ancient Samurai Musashi Lvl 9 ATK: 2900 DEF: 2700

''Next I equip Musashi with Legendary Sword Inazuma and Legendary Sword Ikazuchi!'' Shintaro adds as his Ancient Samurai was equipped with two swords with both having the Kanji of ''Lightning'' on the right blade Inazuma and ''Thunder'' on the left blade Ikazuchi. Yugi didn't like those cards since he remember how dangerous those Legendary Swords were against Jonouchi.''

''Now I wield both lightning and thunder! And with them, I attack Silent Magician LV0!'' Shintaro declares his order as Musashi charges at Yugi's weaker monster. Yugi knew this is bad since his Silent Magician LV0 needs time to power-up through his opponent's draws but lucky he was ready for such a moment.

''No you won't. I activate the Continuous Trap, Spellbinding Circle! I now target and stop Musashi, sealing him in a mystical seal and decrease his ATK by 700.'' Yugi reveals his facedown card as a powerful seal binds itself around the Ancient Samurai, stunning it from attacking.

Ichigo smiles, that was until she sees her father smirking.

''That's not going to work.'' He explains it to Yugi as his samurai's lightning katana blade erupts with sparks and explains proudly. ''I activate Inazuma's effect! It negates a card effect that targets the equipped monster and destroys it!''

Yugi was shock as the samurai swings Inazuma and slashes through Yugi's trap seal, destroying it instantly. ''Spellbinding Circle!''

''Now strike down that monster! Holy Lightning Flash Slash!'' Shintaro orders as Musashi resumes his original attack at Silent Magician and swings the Ikazuchi katana blade, stabbing Silent Magician and destroying it with a powerful lightning burst of a blast.

''Oh no, Yugi-kun's magician!'' Ichigo shouted in shock as she watches Yugi brace himself against the lightning. Yugi's Life Points drop by 1400 of damage, leaving him with 2600LP left.

''Not done as Ikazuchi's effect inflicts damage to the player equal to the original attack of your destroyed monster. Thunder Clash Slash!'' Shintaro continues his onslaught as the Ikazuchi blade erupts and fires a thunder blast, hitting the tricolor head across the chest.

''Aw!'' Yugi screams as thunder stroke him directly. Ichigo gasps nervously as Yugi almost knees down on one leg, his Life Points once again reduce with only 1600LP left.

Ichigo grit her teeth softly, not liking this one bit to see Yugi at that position.

''I end my turn with that.'' Shintaro declares, ending his turn.

Duel Screen: Turn 4_ Yugi: 1600LP H: 4 / Shintaro: 3500LP H: 2

Yugi panted, getting up on both feet as he smiles a little. This left Shintaro a bit confused until he realized that's what his father did in a pinch.

''My turn! Draw!'' Yugi says, drawing his top card and eyes it including his hand. He knew he wouldn't last as long as Musashi reminds on the field with his Equip Spells.

''The only way to beat his Ancient Samurai is by destroying itself.'' Yugi analyzed the situation, picking a card from his hand and activating it in the Spell/Trap Card Slot. ''I activate the spell Dark Hole! This spell destroys all monsters on the field!''

An actual dark hole appears and began sucking every monster on the field and the only one was Ancient Samurai Musashi. Ichigo snaps his fingers, smiling that Yugi turn the tables with his spell as the samurai was absorb into the hole and then the black hole self-destruct. It left no trace of nothing… that was until both Inazuma and Ikazuchi katana swords were still on the field. This left Yugi confused at first, until the ground shake and suddenly Musashi reappear, leaping out from the ground.

''What?'' The purple-eye questioned in shock. Shintaro smirks as he explains while his samurai picked up his blades. ''Musashi's effect grants him the self-ability to return back to the field even after being destroyed by a card effect in addition any Legendary Equip Spell that was equipped on him returns back to the field, immediately equipped onto him.''

Yugi was astonished by such an effect to counteract card destruction effects. Ichigo was however furious it could do that while her mother giggles, blushing by that.

''Oh boy honey, you're not holding any punches.'' She tells her daughter, giggling a little. Ichigo sweat drops, sighing to admit that she's right. The Dark Hole spell should have done it but it only show that her dad's samurai is too strong for even it.

''Now not even Yugi-kun's cards can destroy my Oto-san's samurai from coming back over and over along with his Equip Spells.'' Ichigo mutters in defeat, almost impossible to beat such a monster. She looks up and blinks, still seeing Yugi smiling even after such a thing. How could anyone smile like that against a monster that's too strong for him or her? ''But Yugi-kun is still smiling. Does he have a plan?''

Shintaro could see the boy's willing determination. He wasn't going to turn back or let that stop him, praised by such bravery.

''I summon Blockman in defense position.'' Yugi declares, summoning an actual man of kid's toy blocks.

Blockman Lvl 4 ATK: 1000 DEF: 1500

Ichigo frowns a little, hoping for something stronger than a monster that's made out of blocks.

''But that monster isn't strong enough Nya.'' She says, sounding worry that this may be all Yugi can do right now. The tricolor head heard that and turns, facing Ichigo and telling her with a smile. ''It's not about being stronger.''

Ichigo blinks, realizing he must have a plan with that monster. She smiles and trusts on his word, nodding. Yugi nods back as he resumes his turn by setting a card. ''I set one card and end my turn.''

Duel Screen: Turn 5_ Yugi: 1600LP H: 2 / Shintaro: 3500LP H: 2

Shintaro stares at Yugi, wanting to see if he was lying about what he told his daughter but it wasn't; he spoke the truth. That only means he needs to be more careful.

''It's my turn! Draw!'' Shintaro declares, drawing the top card of his deck and smiles.

''Since I control at least two ''Legendary'' weapons, I can Special Summon Legendary Apprentice from my hand!'' He declares, summoning an apprentice-like samurai to his field.

Legendary Apprentice Lvl 4 ATK: 1800 DEF: 700

''Now I can tribute Legendary Apprentice in order to summon an Ancient Samurai with only 1 Tribute.'' Shintaro adds as Yugi expected he would do such a move as the monster vanishes, being tribute for a new monster.

''Never stop and become fear against your enemies, Ancient Samurai Masamune!'' Shintaro declares, summoning forth a new samurai that appear wearing a military, solider-like samurai outfit.

Ancient Samurai Masamune Lvl 8 ATK: 2500 DEF: 2800

''Legendary Apprentice's effect lets me add 1 Legendary Equip Spell from my deck to my hand.'' Shintaro revealed his tribute monster's other effect, adding another Legendary Equip Spell to his hand and then further adds. ''That's not all as Masamune prevents any of my Legendary Weapons from being destroyed. And now I equip Masamune with the Equip Spell, Legendary Shield Bushikatagi.''

Masamune gains an ancient-like shield that rarely most samurais would use but do. Yugi blinks staggered, not knowing that the Legendary Equip Spells weren't all swords.

Shintaro soon explains his new Equip Spell's effect. ''As long as this card is equipped, all my opponent's defense monsters are switched into Attack Mode and if you wish to attack any of my monsters, you'll have to attack Masamune instead.''

Ichigo bit her lip as she watches Blockman being switched into attack position. Yugi wasn't at all worry, still calm as every before.

''Not only have that but Masamune's effect prevents any of my Ancient Samurais except this card and Legendary Equip Spells from being destroyed by card effects.'' Shintaro adds, now making sure none of his main cards from being destroyed by Yugi's cards. Well almost all since Masamune can't protect itself but he didn't need to worry since Masamune is in defense position and has a higher DEF to withstand almost most monsters.

''Either way, this duel is over with this next attack!'' Shintaro declares as his stronger Ancient Samurai locks eyes at Yugi's weak monster and then declares the attack order. ''Musashi attack Blockmon and finish this with one strike!''

Ancient Samurai Musashi comes at Blockman with god-like speed, ready to slash down Yugi's remaining defense and his Life Points too. Ichigo panics since her dad's monster can't be stopped by card effects or be destroyed by them. However, Yugi wasn't at all worry as he still had faith and he still had a trap.

''Reverse Counter Trap open, Time Leap!'' Yugi declares proudly, revealing and activating his facedown card. It showed the image of a stopwatch reversing from a western timeline into a futuristic timeline. From the card itself, appears the same stopwatch, spinning its arms clockwise faster and faster as everything around them slow them, even Musashi's sword swing was being greatly slowing down like slow motion.

''First I skip 2 turns, this one and my next turn going through each phase, and then I resume the duel during your 7th Turn's Main Phase 2 which means your Battle Phase never commence thus your attack was skipped.'' Yugi explains his trap's effect calmly, snapping his finger as time pass through Shintaro's turn and then Yugi's and then back to Shintaro's 7th Turn of the Duel, entering the Main Phase 2. Then the moment the field reverts back to normal, Musashi suddenly was unable to continue its attack and stops his strike upon Yugi's Blockman.

Ichigo was truly astonished by such a card Yugi pull off. Shintaro was quiet not expecting such a trap could do that.

''Guess you were careless with that one strike huh?'' Yugi questions him smirking. Shintaro just smiled, really surprised by that one card and agrees. ''I guess so. I end my turn.''

Ichigo took a breath in, not expecting such an overwhelming rush that left her dazed. Still, she's glad Yugi is fine.

Still, can Yugi pull out a miracle in his next turn?

---

Commercial Break:

Shintaro: No matter how many times you avoid our conflict, my samurais and I will be victorious!

Yugi: I have yet to show the true strength of my deck and I intend to do such.

---

The duel continues as it would be Yugi's 8th Turn due to the effect of Time Leap. Even though he's against Shintaro and his strong and faithful Ancient Samurais, the tricolor head just smiled, ready to turn the tables.

Duel Screen: Turn 8_ Yugi: 1600LP H: 2 / Shintaro: 3500LP H: 1

''Now it's now my turn! Draw!'' Yugi declares, drawing his top card and smiles, instantly playing it. ''I activate the spell Graceful Charity to draw 3 cards and next I discard 2 cards.''

He draws his 3 cards and then checks his hand for which 2 cards he must discard. He knew he had the card to defeat Ancient Samurai Musashi but as long as Masamune was on the field, he can't complete his combo. Luckily he had another card to use to beat it too but if he chooses to keep them, he'll have to discard any other defense for his current and next turn. He can't hesitate and made his choice, discarding 2 cards.

''Now I activate the spell, Soul Taker. This card destroys a monster my control opponents in exchange that my opponent gains 1000LP.'' Yugi declares, activating a spell as a hand reforms and waits for which monster to destroy.

''But that card will increase Oto-san's Life Points.'' Ichigo pointed out, not at all with the fact that the opponent will gain Life Points for such a mere monster destroying card. Yugi didn't worry for that as he picks his target. ''I chose to destroy Masamune!''

The hand grabbed on Ancient Samurai Masamune and destroyed it instantly. Shintaro braces his monster's destruction but then his Life Points went up to 4500LP.

''Figures you would do that but now I can use Ancient Samurai Masamune's effect.'' Shintaro expected such a thing and activated his destroyed samurai's hidden effect. Yugi was indeed surprised by that as two cards pop out from his opponent's deck.

''When he is leaves the field, I can add 2 ''Legendary'' Equip Spell from my deck to my hand and if I control an Ancient Samurai, I can equip them immediately.'' Shintaro explains, already choosing the cards after Masamune was destroyed and added them to his hand to only equip them immediately on Ancient Samurai Musashi. ''I equip Musashi with both Equip Spells Legendary Arms Tetsuyama and Legendary Legs Yamaarashi.''

Musashi was now strapped and equipped with new brand new arm guards and leg guards, both emitting a strong green and red pulse.

''Now Tetsuyama prevents Musashi from being destroyed by battle and negates the activation of one of my opponent's Spell Cards once per turn. Plus Yamaarashi grants Musashi the ability to do piercing damage and negates the activation of one of my opponent's Trap Cards once per turn.'' Shintaro explains both his Legendary Arm and Leg Equip Spells, sealing away Yugi's access to using or activating Spells and Traps now in addition to new benefits. He points at Yugi who remain silent with his hair covered up by his eyes. ''In order words, I locked you from even being able to attack me Yugi.''

Yugi frowns at first, almost making Ichigo to tell him to not give up, until that frown became a small smirk.

''Amazing setup after another Momomiya-san.'' Yugi states lifting up his head and smiling. Shintaro was confused until Yugi adds with a serious smirk. ''But those cards aren't going to get the chance to help you.''

Ichigo gasps smiling while her father utters in even more confusion. ''What?''

(Now Playing OST… Theme of Yugi or Yugi (Yugi's Passionate Duelist version) from Yu-Gi-Oh! DM)

''I activate Blockman's effect. Deconstruction!'' Yugi announces, activating his monster's effect as the monster disassemble into many block pieces. ''Blockman tributes itself and in exchange Special Summons Block Tokens equal to the number of turns this card was on the field.''

The pieces reform and were replaced with different forms of what was Blockman.

Block Tokens (X2) Lvl 4 ATK: 1000 DEF: 1500

Ichigo blinks at how he managed to do that and realized it due to Time Leap's effect, leaving her even more amazed.

''That's why he use that trap to skip 2 turns! He wanted to power up the effect of Blockman and next he can activate his effect to perform a Tribute Summon!'' She says, seeing why Yugi summoned that monster. It wasn't meant to stall but to be used for a big summon.

''I tribute my two Block Tokens!'' Yugi announces, releasing both tokens from the field away and instantly red lights strike through from the ground. ''Appear, Gandora the Dragon of Destruction!''

From the lights, emerge the black dragon of destruction, Gandora, to Yugi's field.

Gandora the Dragon of Destruction Lvl 8 ATK: 0 DEF: 0

Ichigo smiles of amazement, getting to see that dragon that once defeated the first opponent Yugi took on in the start of Battle City V3.

''That's the same monster Yugi-kun beat that weird bug guy Nya!'' Ichigo states, remembering how awesome Yugi used that dragon against that weird bug guy she completely forgot his name.

Shintaro gulps a little, not expecting to be fighting a strange yet powerful dragon with 0ATK.

''Gandora's effect requires me to pay half of my Life Points in order to destroy and banish every other card currently on the field.'' Yugi explains his dragon's effect, shocking Shintaro even more. ''What?''

Yugi smiled, already figuring out that he wouldn't be able to turn the duel around unless he gets rid of all the cards that would oppose him and banished them before they could ever be use.

''Not even your Samurai can survive this or the Legendary Weapons.'' Yugi stated revealing the weakness of Ancient Samurai Musashi. Sakura blinks of amazement, almost a little scared of how brilliant Yugi is. Ichigo giggles, nodding that he was right all the way. ''He's right Nya! Musashi can be brought back if it's sent to the graveyard but being removed from the duel is a different thing!''

Shintaro and Musashi glare at Gandora who glows through its red orbs around its body.

''Wipe everything that's in front of you, Gandora! Destroy Giga Rays!'' Yugi orders, raising his hand at his opponent's field and Gandora obeys, unleashing multiple red beams that destroyed everything they touched. Musashi try to slash down the rays but they merely destroyed him instantly. Shintaro braces himself as his entire field vanishes. And as Yugi and Ichigo stated, Musashi's effect couldn't be activated since it never touched the graveyard.

''Then for each card destroyed due to its effect, Gandora gains 300 ATK each!'' Yugi adds as his black dragon went up by 1500ATK since it was 5 cards that were destroyed and banished.

''Attack the player directly!'' Yugi orders his attack as Gandora once again fires the multiple red beams throughout its body. ''Destroy Giga Rays!''

Shintaro braces himself as the ray hit him directly, sending him back as his Life Points decrease down by 1500 damage. Ichigo cheered of amazed by such a turn around.

''I set one card and end my turn.'' Yugi ends his turn, setting a card behind his dragon before smiling at him, adding. ''During the end phase, Gandora leaves the field.''

Gandora vanishes from the field, leaving no trace of his exist. Yugi still smile, still relief he had his help. Ichigo frowns, sad for him but soon realize that Yugi has no monsters now.

''He left his field open, and yet he's still confident in himself.'' Shintaro analyzed the situation and he has a chance to win the duel as long as he can draw one monster to attack directly.

Duel Screen: Turn 9_ Yugi: 800LP H: 0 / Shintaro: 3000LP H: 1

Shintaro smiled holding his hand on his top card. Just one monster he needs and then the duel is his. He looks back at Yugi and blinks to see him smiling as if he wasn't bother that he had no monsters on his field.

''You're confident I won't draw a monster to end this duel huh?'' Shintaro questions, certain the boy is playing a game or a trick with his facedown card. Yugi still smiles, replying pretty positive and calm. ''Not really. I'm confident you won't be able to touch me.''

Shintaro smirks a little by his words, sounding something like his father would say.

''So I see. My turn, DRAW!'' He shouts, performing a powerful draw to get him the card he needs. Ichigo covers her face, not able to watch as her father eyes the card he drew and widens his eyes; it was White-Horned Dragon. He didn't expect to draw that card out of any other like this.

''… I end my turn.'' He states a bit frustrated, feeling like Yugi is getting into him.

(End of Soundtrack)

Duel Screen: Turn 10_ Yugi: 800LP H: 0 / Shintaro: 3000LP H: 2

Yugi, still calm, actually pant in the inside that his bluff worked. Then again, he already had a card ready if a monster would appear.

''My turn. Draw.'' Yugi says, drawing his top card and smiles, activating it. ''I activate the spell Pot of Greed to draw two cards.''

Yugi drew two additional cards and blinks in surprise, drawing a card he didn't expect to get but was happy he did.

He activates it as a golden box appeared over him. ''Next I activate the spell, Gold Sarcophagus. This spell banishes a card from my deck and until the two turns pass, I get to add it back to my hand.''

Yugi searches his deck to exclude one from the duel and choice to pick the card he wishes to test the new power he created.

''I summon Gamma the Magnet Warrior!'' Yugi summons forth his pink colored magnet warrior to his field.

Gamma the Magnet Warrior Lvl 4 ATK: 1500 DEF: 1800

''Gamma, attack the opponent directly!'' He declares an attack as Gamma stretches his right arm and throws it, extending it and punches Shintaro directly. ''Gamma Punch!''

Shintaro groans, kneeling down as his Life Points were now 1500 left. Ichigo leap up of joy that the tricolor head pull an amazing play.

''I end my turn.'' Yugi ends his turn with that, having nothing else to use this turn.

Duel Screen: Turn 11_ Yugi: 800LP H: 0 / Shintaro: 1500LP H: 2

Ichigo giggles of amazement that it all takes is one more big attack, announcing. ''That's it, one more attack over 1500 and it's over!''

Sakura sweat drops, certain her daughter is getting overconfident. Shintaro pants a bit, seeing why Yugi was known as the Duel King. Even now, his skill is incredible.

''Now I'm amazed the kind of duelist you are Yugi.'' He admits, never thinking that this would be as intense as he believed it to be. That only made him wished to fight with his all and defeat him.

''Just like how you survive a certain defeat, I'll do the same and win this duel!'' Shintaro announces proudly, not at all finished yet. He places his hand over his deck and shouts, drawing his card. ''My turn! DRAW!''

He eyes the card he drew and knew he couldn't use his card yet or in that matter he wouldn't need to with his other two cards.

''I use the spell Change of Heart to take control of Gamma until the end of this turn.'' Shintaro starts, using his spell to control Gamma to his side of the field. Ichigo gasps of shock. ''Oh no Nya!''

Yugi stares serious, just seeing that one attack can end the duel in defeat. Shintaro notices it and smirks, explaining it to him. ''But don't worry Yugi. I don't plan to attack you with your own monster. Instead I tribute Gamma in order this card!''

Yugi expected as much as Gamma vanishes and soon the sky was pierce by a ray of light. He knew deep down that he would fight that dragon.

''Dragon of Legend, please appear before me with your mighty horn of light! Pierce through the darkness to shine the path of hope! Appear, White-Horned Dragon!'' Shintaro chants, calling and summoning upon the mighty red dark dragon with a pure white horn.

White-Horned Dragon Lvl 6 ATK: 2200 DEF: 1400

Yugi stares serious at White-Horned as the dragon stare back with its red eyes. Shintaro notices the dragon staring at Yugi, almost fixed at him as if… as if it was his former owner. Shintaro shakes that feeling off, needing to focus on the duel.

Ichigo gulped, really scared that Yugi might lose with just a tiny bit of his Life Points against her father's dragon.

''Just like Gandora the Dragon of Destruction, White-Horned Dragon's effect when he's summoned banishes 5 Spell Cards you have in your graveyard and then for each banished card, he gains 300 ATK each!'' Shintaro said, activating White-Horned's effect as the dragon points his horn at Yugi and fires a white beam at his Duel Disk. Yugi watches as Dark Hole, Graceful Charity, Soul Taker, Pot of Greed and Gold Sarcophagus were all banished and powered up White-Horned, going up by 3700ATK.

Shintaro had the advantage, more than confident that he will win this duel now that he has White-Horned. After all, this card is the bond between him and his dead closest friend. He won't let him down even if he is fighting his best friend's son.

''Battle! Attack White-Horned, strike Yugi down with one blow!'' Shintaro declares as the dragon roars, flying up at first but once it reach over the clouds, it dives down at Yugi with its horn glowing white. ''Horn Drive Buster!''

Ichigo widens her eyes as the dragon was about to stab through Yugi and win the duel, and yet Yugi just eye the dragon and smirk a little. Shintaro notices it and got worry as the tricolor head lift up his Duel Disk arm as White-Horned was just about to pierce him until suddenly a mechanical turtle appears from Yugi's dueling device and intercepts the horn, spinning its shell-like body and protecting him.

''What?'' Everyone utters in shock as Yugi still smirks softly, explaining. ''I activated Electromagnetic Turtle's effect from the graveyard! By banishing him from the game, my turtle ends the battle phase.''

Shintaro didn't recall that monster ever being on the field, until he remembered the cards Yugi discarded through Graceful Charity. He must have discarded it from that moment. White-Horned Dragon stops now as the Battle Phase ended and Yugi's Electromagnetic Turtle vanishes. This even made him recalled what Yugi said that he wouldn't be able to touch him; he had that monster to use its effect if he summoned and attacked with a monster.

''To think you have cards that support you in any plays and situations.'' Shintaro utters, still amazed that he's been able to survive this far in the duel.

''I end my turn by setting one card facedown. I'm done.'' He sets his remaining card and ended his turn. Even if he can't hit this turn, next turn will be different.

Duel Screen: Turn 12_ Yugi: 800LP H: 0 / Shintaro: 1500LP H: 0

''It's my turn Momomiya-san. Draw!'' Yugi declares smiling as he draws his card and his eyes sparkle a bit at the card he drew, immediately activating it. ''I activate the spell, Dark Magic Curtain!''

A magical dark curtain-like door appears as it glows between itself and Yugi.

''By paying half of my Life Points, I can special summon my ace monster from my deck.'' Yugi explains as his Life Points dropping at 400 but now he can summon the monster that will help him to fight White-Horned Dragon. ''Come forth, Dark Magician!''

From within the curtains, emerge Yugi's signature monster, the Dark Magician to the field in his majestic presence. Ichigo smiles really excited to see Yugi pulling out his best monster.

Dark Magician Lvl 7 ATK: 2500 DEF: 2100

Shintaro crosses his arms, smirking that he knew Yugi would call upon him but not even his monster would help him. Dark Magician and White-Horned Dragon stare at each other; their eyes lock upon the other as if they crossed before.

''I next reveal and activate the Quick-Play Spell Card, Dark Magic Prophecy!'' Yugi declares, revealing his facedown card he had set. The card show an image of Dark Magician, Dark Magician Girl and Magician of Black Chaos summon ancient magic through art spell books.

''This card can only be activated if I control a Dark Magician on my field and no other cards on my field.'' Yugi starts explaining his new spell as his pulls several cards from the top of his deck to his hand and shows them. ''I reveal the top 7 cards from my deck and add up to 2 Spell Cards within those 7 cards.''

Shintaro stares not worry since White-Horned Dragon can handle itself against anything, even Yugi's magician.

''Next I shuffle my deck and draw 1 card.'' Yugi added returning the other revealed cards and shuffling his deck before drawing one more card. He smiles as he activates one of the spell cards he added. ''I equip Dark Magician with Magic Formula, increasing his ATK by 700 plus!''

Dark Magician's aura lit up, overpowering him as he went up by 3200ATK. Shintaro smirks, a shame too since White-Horned far surpassed him, telling that to Yugi. ''Dark Magician is still short to even be a threat to my important monster.''

Yugi forms a small smirk, disagreeing as he picks the other spell card in his hand.

''I wouldn't be too sure. I next equip my magician with another Equip Spell, Mage Power.'' Yugi protested, revealing his last spell which startles Shintaro. Ichigo smiles, knowing that spell as she tells her mom. ''Mage Power increases a monster's ATK and DEF by 500 for each Spell and Trap they control on the field!''

''That means Dark Magician surpasses White-Horned Dragon.'' Ichigo's mother says, taken by surprised as Dark Magician was engulfed with even more magic, now possessing 4200ATK. Shintaro was actually shocked, not believing Yugi would manage.

''Go, Dark Magician, attack White-Horned Dragon!'' Yugi orders as his fateful magician charges at White-Horned. The dragon roars, flying at him and both specter and horn clash, unleashing white and dark purple auras. ''Dark Magic!''

Dark Magician unleashes more of his magic upon the dragon but White-Horned roars, pushing it back with its white horn's energy. Neither one would back down.

Ichigo could see and feel the resonated energy clash between both monsters, almost as if they've already clashed before.

''Both monsters.'' Ichigo mutters as their fierce clash continued even more. ''It felt as if both monsters crossed before.''

''…'' Yugi was silent watching, also having the same sensation for White-Horned Dragon. He felt something familiar when he first saw the dragon but he wasn't sure if it was the monster itself or the card.

Soon the clash cause a massive explosion as White-Horned Dragon emerges, seemingly find until it roars one more time before turning into holographic ashes. Shintaro couldn't believe it as his Life Points drop at 1000.

''I end my turn.'' Yugi declares as Dark Magician instantly appears, partly scratched from his clash.

Duel Screen: Turn 13_ Yugi: 400LP H: 1 / Shintaro: 1000LP H: 0

Sakura felt bad for her husband, knowing full well how much that monster's defeat felt. Shintaro closes his eyes and takes a calm breath, reopening them and eyes the tricolor head.

''To think White-Horned lost… but I'm not out yet!'' Shintaro states, not going to let White-Horned Dragon's defeat be in vain. ''I can still turn the tables! And I will! My turn, draw!''

He draws but it wasn't a good card but luckily he wouldn't need to worry since he'll now use his last trump card.

''I activate the Trap Card, Birth of the Divine Samurai!'' Shintaro declares, revealing his last trap which showed the image of a samurai of pure gold walking behind the sun in front of many enemies. ''I discard my entire hand and half of my Life Points as well as banishing all Ancient Samurai monsters in my graveyard and field in order to summon this monster!''

Yugi stares serious, having a worrying feeling about this. First Shintaro discards his only card in his hand; then his Life Points were half at 500LP and finally banish Ancient Samurai Yoshiie, Ancient Samurai Musashi, and Ancient Samurai Masamune from his graveyard.

''Legendary Brave Swordsman who surpassed the ages of time, appear before me and slash down any foes who seek your enormous godlike strength and pride.'' Shintaro chants as a golden light appears above the sky and a figure descends over the sun. Yugi and Dark Magician stare at whoever it was but instantly lost track of it as the unknown being appears with a mighty burst of wind. The tricolor felt the pressure, unbelievable such force.

''Present yourself, Divine Ancient Samurai Nobunaga!'' Shintaro announces as the unknown being reveal himself as a golden armored samurai riding on top of a golden armor horse.

Divine Ancient Samurai Nobunaga Lvl 10 ATK: 3800 DEF: 3200

Ichigo gulps at that monster, certain this is the so-called ''God'' monster her father mentioned before but did it have to be another samurai? Sakura giggles like a cheerleader, seeing her lover going truly all out like this.

Yugi stares at such a monster, certain it'll be his strongest challenge from Ichigo's father and probably one he must beat now.

''Nobunaga's effect lets me add and equipped a Divine Legendary Equip Spell from my deck to itself!'' Shintaro explains his Divine Ancient Samurai's effect, adding a new Equip Spell into his hand. Yugi blinked, shocked to hear that name. ''Divine Legendary?''

''Now I equip Nobunaga with the Equip Spell Divine Legendary Sword Kokushi!'' Shintaro announces, equipping Nobunaga with a brand new, divine-like golden katana blade. Yugi gulps but he noticed that Nobunaga hasn't changed in ATK or DEF yet.

''First Nobunaga's effect is that I negate my opponent's cards on the field even from the graveyard until the end of my turn.'' Shintaro reveals and activates his samurai's ultimate effect, swing his newly sword and unleashes a powerful thrust. ''Divine Opposition!''

Yugi felt the wave as did Dark Magician as the Equip Spells' powers were negated and Yugi's monster loses his boost, going back down to 2500ATK.

''Oh no!'' Ichigo panics in terror. And this wasn't over yet.

''Divine Legendary Sword Kokushi's effect allows me to send a number of monsters from the top of your deck equal to the level of the monster I'm attacking.'' Shintaro explains his ultimate Equip Spell's effect. Yugi blinks of astonishment, not expecting that.

Shintaro then adds firmly, pointing at Yugi's monster. ''Dark Magician is a Level 7 which means once I attack I will force you to send 7 monsters from the top of your deck to the graveyard. On top of that Kokushi increases Nobunaga equal to the number of cards sent to my opponent's Graveyard by 100 each until the end of this turn!''

Ichigo gulps that this can't be happening.

''Now strike down Yugi's monster Nobunaga! Settle this with one perfect blow with Divine Legendary Slash!'' Shintaro commands as his samurai charges on his horse. The effect of his legendary sword activated, forcing Yugi to send 7 monsters from his deck to the graveyard and he eyed of them in being a piece of his plan. As that happened, Dark Magician's ATK dropped at 1800 while Nobunaga went up by 4500ATK.

Divine Ancient Samurai Nobunaga, lifting his sword, swings it with lightning speed and slashes through Dark Magician and causes a massive explosion of golden light.

Ichigo and her mother brace their eyes as the light covers Yugi's side.

''This duel is over.'' Shintaro says, confirming his victory as he starts to turn away and walks, only to stop when he realized the Duel Disk was still active. He turns and sees that Yugi still stood with no Dark Magician and yet his Life Points still remain the same.

''What? How are you -'' Shintaro questions in shock until Yugi, smirking, explains it by showing the card in his hand; Kuriboh. ''I use Kuriboh's effect from my hand. It reduces any battle damage I take this turn into 0.''

Shintaro widens his eyes, realizing that Yugi used Kuriboh in the last second of before Nobunaga destroyed Dark Magician. He just didn't expect such a card in the last second.

''Even when I made sure I can negate any effect on his field, he used a card from his hand to save himself from defeat.'' Shintaro thought mentally, taken back by such card.

Yugi stood firm, even without any other cards left in his hand or on his field, he still has faith in himself and his deck. He stares at him and tells him smiling. ''My deck hasn't given up on me, Momomiya-san.''

''… I end my turn.'' Shintaro ends his turn, left with little opinion this turn.

Duel Screen: Turn 14_ Yugi: 400LP H: 0 / Shintaro: 500LP H: 0

Ichigo was tense up with such a turnaround from Yugi but even with surviving another turn, he has no cards in his hand and he has no monsters either while her father possess that super strong samurai.

''They're evenly tied within Life Points and yet Oto-san has the advantage.'' Ichigo stated, feeling as if Yugi might not be able to turn things around this time and yet, she refused to admit that. She knew deep down that he can win because that's the kind of person he is; that's the kind of duelist Yugi stands for.

She puts her hands together, hoping he doesn't ever give up. ''Yugi-kun…''

Shintaro stares at Yugi as he did the same, both showing the same strong determination.

''It really has been a fun game Yugi but it seems we know who will win this duel.'' Shintaro tells the young man, more than confident that the duel is in his favor.

Yugi forms a smirk, not thinking the same as he replies. ''The duel is not over yet. I still have faith in myself and in my deck and those cards will guide to make a miracle.''

The tricolor eyes his deck, not giving up on this duel because if he can't this man before him, he wouldn't have truly prove to Atem the kind of duelist he can be… and challenge all those he defeated before him including his strongest rival.

''I'll show the light this deck shines upon me! My turn! Draw!'' Yugi declares serious, drawing his top card and eyes it, widening them at the card he drew. ''This card...''

Ichigo notices the look in Yugi's eyes as if it was a card he needed.

''Due to Gold Sarcophagus' effect, I add the card I excluded from the game to my hand.'' Yugi said, still pretty shocked as he added the card he removed from his deck to his hand. He eyes his hand and not believed the kind of hand he possessed silently. ''…''

There was a silence as Ichigo was concerned but not in the way that Yugi might have lost but at the way his face was telling it. Shintaro felt the same as if something went wrong.

Yugi took a small breathe in and said, smiling sadden. ''A friend close to me used this very card to bring back a monster that should remain in the realm of the dead. I stopped the summoned… and now I'm going to do the same thing. Irony huh?''

The Pharaoh heard that and frown of sadness, agreeing as he remembered that day too well.

Shintaro smirks a little, agreeing with Yugi's words as he answers. ''It kinda is but that's how the game is right?''

Yugi chuckles a little, smiling at that replying as he activates the card he drew. ''You're not wrong. I activate Monster Reborn, allowing me to resurrect a monster from either player's graveyard.''

Atem forms a smirk watching as he knew what monster Yugi would call back. Yugi picks and immediately shouts proudly. ''Appear to us, dragon of the skies! I summon you, Sky Dragon of Osiris!''

The sky turn dark as Ichigo shivers a little, knowing what monster it was. Shintaro sweats as Nobunaga looks up and sees the mighty red serpent-like, double-mouthed dragon appear over Yugi's field.

Sky Dragon of Osiris Lvl 10 ATK: X000 DEF: X000

Osiris unleashes a powerful roar at Shintaro and his monster; shivering slightly as this was the first he ever faced something that most would consider a legend. ''A God?''

''Yugi's super dragon god monster!'' Ichigo proclaims of excitement while her mother shivers, actually standing behind her daughter. Ichigo sweat drops but then realized that this is bad that Yugi picked to summon Osiris. ''But his dragon is so weak since it requires cards to increase his power by 1000 each.''

Shintaro noticed that, knowing this God Monster requires the number of cards in the player's hand to power itself up and Yugi only had one of them in his hand.

''Even if you did summon a God, you made a mistake to summon him Yugi.'' He told the young man, knowing it was suicide for him to summon Osiris. Yugi forms a small grin, protesting honestly. ''Like I said before, I won't be so sure.''

(Now Playing OST… The Sealed Miracle from Yu-Gi-Oh! DM)

Everyone blinks as Yugi pulls his last card in his hand. Ichigo gasps and remember the same thing happening against that Zorc or Bakura or Fake Bakura guy and Yugi used a spell to draw up to 6 cards, making Osiris stronger. Maybe he's…

''Now I Special Summon Timaeus, Legendary Dragon of Hope and Courage!'' Yugi shouts proudly again as the mighty legendary scarred-eye dragon Timaeus appears on the field beside Yugi.

Timaeus, Legendary Dragon of Hope and Courage Lvl 1 ATK: 0 DEF: 0

This shocked everyone, including Ichigo who never seen Timaeus and Osiris on the same field beside their duelist.

''What? Legendary Dragon?'' Shintaro utters, never seeing that monster before. Ichigo was still confused by what reason would Yugi pick Timaeus to add to his hand?

''Timaeus has the ability to fuse itself and another monster to Fusion Summon a Fusion Monster with the correct Fusion Material Monster used for the card.'' Yugi explains as Timaeus roars, almost calling out to Osiris who replied back with its own roar. Shintaro was shaken by what he just heard. ''What? A Fusion Summon with a God?''

''Yugi-kun never mentioned he could that.'' Ichigo questioned, just as shocked as her father. Atem watched his partner silently, wanting to see this himself as he eyes Osiris. He was actually happy that it would be Osiris first since it was the monster Yugi defeated not once but twice during their last duel against each other.

Yugi raise his hand as he calls upon both his dragons. ''Osiris, Timaeus, combine to show a new path to dueling!''

Timaeus and Osiris obey, flying up towards the sky as the Legendary Dragon merges together with the God Monster, fusing as dark skies instantly appeared and gathered around them.

''Through the power of the Legendary Dragon, evolve mighty dragon of the skies and take your place beyond the saints themselves!'' Yugi chants as multiple red lightning crashed down on the ground circles around him.

Shintaro watches as did Nobunaga, almost taken back by this sudden force. Ichigo braces herself as Sakura sweat drops, holding tightly on the knob of her door.

Yugi watches as both dragons were truly going to merge as one as a card pop out from his Fusion Deck. He smiles as he takes it out and shouts, summoning the Fusion Monster. ''FUSION SUMMON! Descend and spread your new form!''

The black skies suddenly ripped apart as the lightning began to hit the fusion, almost forming the said fusion. Everything calmed down as the sun was blocked by a large serpent-like dragon.

''The Lord of the Saintly Dragons – Osiris!'' Yugi declares, revealing his brand new God Fusion Monster.

Through Timaeus' power of evolution of fusion, Osiris evolves into his true form. Now with green outlines around his newly larger red wings and a sharp green, red scaled metal tail; Osiris releases a new power as he spreads his large wings with large ostrich, green-red tip feathers.

The newly evolved Osiris let out a lightning-full roar, shaking up everything around it through miles.

The Lord of the Saintly Dragons – Osiris Lvl 11, ATK: X000 DEF: X000

''A God… Evolved?'' Shintaro widens his eyes still shaken by such a creature. Sakura shivers, just as shaken but Ichigo was left speechless not of terror but of thrill, not thinking someone like Yugi could ever do such a geeky yet incredible monster.

''A-amazing Nya. This is what Yugi-kun referred to as evolving his deck beyond anything he could imagine.'' Ichigo stated of wonders, not sure how to react other than excitement.

Yugi chuckles hearing Ichigo's comment, thinking the same thing as he wasn't sure himself. He had moments this wouldn't be possible due to the God Monster's own divine powers but in the end it worked. Thanks to Timaeus, he found an alternative to evolution in dueling.

''Osiris has all of his previous effects which means I need cards in my hand to increase his power by 1000 ATK and DEF for each.'' Yugi states smiling, revealing no cards which meant Osiris' power was 0. Ichigo drop her jaw slightly, back to panicking.

''A shame you used up your entire hand.'' Shintaro, sounding relief, exclaims Yugi's hand that now not even this evolved Osiris can't beat his Divine Ancient Samurai. ''Plus you've already drawn. You won't be able to draw again. You have no set cards and nothing else to use. That means Nobunaga can end this in my turn and finish this duel!''

Yugi was silent at first but forms a smirk, objecting. ''Are you sure about that?''

Shintaro blinks, puzzle by what he meant. Osiris suddenly roars as a lightning bolt hits Yugi's Duel Disk and suddenly it commanded to draw. Shintaro was speechless by this as Yugi explains. ''Osiris also gained new powers and one of them is when he's Fusion Summoned, I draw until I have 7 cards in my hand.''

''7 Cards?!'' Shintaro expresses in terror, never imaging that. Yugi starts drawing his 7 cards as each one gave Osiris even greater power.

''I am unable to activate or use any cards I have drawn through Osiris' effect until the end of my next turn but now that I have 7 cards which means my god surpasses Nobunaga!'' Yugi affirms his victory as Osiris went up by each card, possessing 7000ATK.

Shintaro widens his eyes of pure horror as did Nobunaga, shaken by this overwhelming creature of a god. Ichigo was just too amazed to even express herself, not thinking Yugi had this kind of power.

''End this Osiris. Let your mighty roar shatter any who oppose you!'' Yugi ordered as Osiris roars, opening his mouth and starts forming a gigantic red orb of electricity that only grew larger.

''Ultimate Electrical Roar Wave – Judgement Thunder Force!'' Yugi shouts as Osiris releases the massive enchanted red-colored Thunder Force, unleashing it upon Divine Ancient Samurai Nobunaga. The samurai tried to overcome the force of the blast but in the end he and his horse both disintegrate into nothing. Shintaro took the force and endures it all the way through as his Life Points drop to 0.

(End of Soundtrack)

Duel Screen: Winner… Yugi: 400LP vs. Shintaro: 0LP

Shintaro drops on one knee, defeated. Ichigo slowly forms a big grin as Yugi sighs with both Duel Disks shutting down and evolved Osiris vanishes.

''YUGI-KUN DID IT!'' Ichigo shouted of amazement, almost not believing what she saw. Was this really Yugi's true power? Is this his full power or just a taste of what he can truly do?

"Boy what a blast that was.'' Shintaro declares, chuckling a little that he managed to do it. Sakura smiles, nodding her husband was really thrilled through the end. He comes over to the tricolor head and shakes his hand. ''Thank you Yugi.''

The tricolor head smiled, shaking his hand as he says grinning. ''For your long awaiting duel with me?''

Shintaro nods, remembering how much he wished to duel him and now that he had his chance; it was everything he imagined. The boy was young, very and yet he's no far the strongest duelist in the entire world probably. He tells him honestly. ''The very same. You truly are the Duel King.''

''Thank you for the comment but I'll be Duel King once I beat Kaiba-kun's tournament.'' Yugi explains his plan as had to win the tournament or else he won't be able to save Marik and beat the Dark Lord. ''I have to.''

Shintaro nods, knowing the duelists in this tournament will no doubt he the best.

''True but I'm done with this title and stuff.'' He said, sounding annoyed as he removed the Duel Disk and was done with the duels now. ''Boy that man made me struggle to do this.''

Yugi blinks as Ichigo joins him, both surprised. ''HUH!''

''Oh yea…'' Shintaro mutters, sweat dropping that he may have exposed something he shouldn't. He moves his hand at the two to come and the two nodded coming to him. Sakura sweat drops, curious what her husband would tell them.

''Don't mention it but it was Pegasus-san who sort of asked a no one like me to hold on Yugi's title.'' Shintaro whispers to his daughter and the purple-eyed teen. Yugi was alarmed that all this was Pegasus doing. ''Pegasus-kun did? But why?''

Shintaro sighs, shrugging his shoulders as he wasn't sure. It wasn't like the man who created Duel Monsters to explain him such a thing. All he said was do this and that and that's all. Yugi sighs, even more in a mystery than before.

Shintaro smiles at the boy, still truly astonished by him. He pulls out his White-Horned Dragon and felt something on his prize card. He wasn't sure what it was but he knew deep down that duel was the passion he and Sackertin once had. He smiles, eyeing his card and knew what he had to do in order to keep his promise with his closest friend.

''Yugi.'' Ichigo's father calls upon him as the boy turns, blinking but soon widens his eyes as the man hands him his precious card. ''Here.''

Ichigo was surprised too as was Sakura, not believing he would do they assume he would do. Yugi stares at White-Horned Dragon, remembering this is Shintaro's favorite card and refused. ''But this is yours. I-''

''I want you to keep it. It used to belong to my dearest friend.'' Shintaro interrupts and states, remembering the day that Yugi's father gave him that card. It was because of that card that they became friends and now… he knew he had to let it go.

He eyes the tricolor head and saw his dead friend in him; they seem different but are alike by the kind of hearts they have. Heck even White-Horned can sense it during the duel.

''You and he are very alike so I know I'm leaving this card to the right hands.'' He tells him smiling, able to let go and leave the passion his friend had to his son. Yugi wasn't still sure about it but he knew Shintaro wanted him to take the card from just his eyes. Yugi eyes the card and forms a small smile, receiving it.

''… Thank you.'' Yugi thanks the man, eyeing the card and nods firmly as he adds determined. ''I'll use it wisely.''

Shintaro forms a smile, believing him. ''I'm sure you will.''

Yugi smiled, eyeing the card and somehow felt a strong connection through the dragon. He wasn't sure why but he didn't mind it until he realized the sunset.

Yugi panicked, checking his watch and shouts. ''Oh crap, I have to go now!''

Shintaro sweat drops, also checking the time and indeed Yugi had to go as he bows the boy for a great duel. Yugi did the same and prepares to run off until Ichigo shouted, stopping in midway of one foot up. ''WAIT!''

Yugi accidently dropped on the ground face forward, taken by surprised. Ichigo sweat drops, blushing of embarrassment as he begs him with both hands in the praying hand gesture. ''Gimme two seconds please! Just two.''

Yugi lifts his head slightly and eyes her, noticing her puffy sad look. He sobs as he can't turn that down and nods. Ichigo giggles as she runs back inside and heads to her room. He would regret those two seconds as they were 10-20 minutes tops as Ichigo came back with a different outfit.

She had on a light pink hoodie over a cute small pink/black dress, black stockings and red shoes on. Yugi blinks, amazed it took her this long for some outfit but it was amazing. Ichigo smirks softly, saying to Yugi in a cheerful tone. ''Okay, let's go Nya!''

Yugi raise his hand wanting to say something but Ichigo wouldn't let him, grabbing his hand and declares excited. ''To Kaiba's stupid tournament!''

She ran off fast as Yugi is dragged off by the end, sobbing of terror. Shintaro and Sakura sweat drop, sighing that their daughter may be too much for even them sometimes. Shintaro stares ahead, hoping Yugi does his best in the challenge up ahead.

Yugi and Ichigo ran off in a hurry, trying to reach the location of Battle City V3. Will our tricolor duelist and red cherry head arrive in time? Yea… BUT WILL THEY? Only one way to find out.

I WANT… Sorry, I want to inform everyone that a while ago… years before Dragon of Legend became a thing, I assumed we would NEVER get the Legendary Dragons and my limited information back then was low since I never made research unlike now… Just want to remind you all that Timaeus and all the Legendary Dragons will have a change of name SLIGHTLY as in just classifying them as Legendary Dragons and they can be treated as Spell Cards. Good? Good! I'll make those changes from DKR Volume 1 but that might take a while. Remind me if I did it. Anyway, thank you again and yes… Legend of Heart is going to play… in this Volume actually. Just don't expect Timaeus the Knight of Destiny yet.
