SO UM... I want to apologize for not updating last week... I was too depressed due to personal life problems... sigh... blame it on certain people who I will not mention... (though one of them unexpectedly I blame Count Morningstar). And also I'm about to lose... my Internet... and for most who don't remember 2016... it was a dark time for me. So be warned this could happen sadly and soon...


Intro: 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 Dragon Knight of Light!

Volume 3: Episode 24: The Deathly Rematch! Dragon Knight Yugi VS Dark Leader Dragon!

In the previous episode of DKR:

Team Dragon Knight was in a bad position as the groups were battling the Dark Lord's forces while Yugi himself, already aware of them being in danger, was unable to assist them as he was in a trap Light laid out.

The group of Judai, Naruto and Ed were confronted by Vlad, Amon and the Meister who left the spiky blond-headed Shinobi in a bad situation until Dani Phantom appeared to assist the group, wanting to stop Vlad, her creator/father, and knowing Danny would do the same. Along with Johan's appearance, the group pushed back the villains.

The group of Kurosaki and Sonic were in a tangled against Eggman with his newly rebuilt Mecha Sonic and the revived Grand Fisher, having met his death by the hands of Isshin Kurosaki, Ichigo's father who he still doesn't know he's a Shinigami or his real past. Pushed back by the Hollow-Arrancar's new abilities, Ichigo was in a breaking point while Sonic, doing quite well on his own, eventually defeated the bot with the help from Tails and Knuckles. Kurosaki was about to meet his death until he was oddly saved by his Inner Hollow, trying to take control to settle the fight but Ichigo broke out, realizing he mustn't hold back. Doing such, he unleashes his Bankai and easily dismantles Grand Fisher, killing the monster that killed his mother and settling one of his debts.

Jonouchi was in his Duel of Darkness against Yami Bakura, not being a pushover with his Kernel Diabound. Regardless, Jonouchi prepared for his counterattack until Kaiba appeared, having picked up the duel signal and decided to settle the score with the evil spirit, joining the duel and crushing him with the full destructive power of Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon.

Mew Ichigo, on her own, managed to fight and stalemate with Dark General Knight even dealing a major blow only to discover the dark general was holding back and showed her that he is basically immortal, unable to kill him. Letting loose his true strength, the cat girl was losing until her fellow Mew Mews including the appearance of Mew Erika and later Shadow appeared to help her. But even with their combine strength, the dark knight was still very powerful to the point that it took a miracle from Ichigo, letting loose a lot of power to harm the villain to the point that he retreated.

Light had Yugi under his palm with a plan that gave him no opening but to either reveal himself as the Dragon Knight and recorded so to blackmail him… or make false evidence that Yugi is Kira. However, before checkmate, Light's plan was foiled by the appearance of Dark Leader Dragon, not wishing for his fun with Yugi to end.

Left alone, Yugi and Dark Leader Dragon crossed paths once again. Who shall be the victor? And who will meet their end?

What will happen next?

And now the conclusion... last left off in the previous episode:

Everything was falling apart for Light Yagami. Not only was he close in having that kid Yugi in the palm of his hands with the second phase of his setup to have the proof that either Yugi is the Dragon Knight or frame him in being Kira. Either way, Yugi was powerless and Light knew it and won it… until that winged black lizard man appeared and basically killed and ate those he had control over the Death Note until they died of course. Light just stares speechless in his room looking at the distorted computer screen that was link to the cameras he had placed and recorded. No data, no recovering and even if he did, how does he explain that thing? People, no, L, he would suspect this is Kira and probably match all of that linking to Light himself.

''I-I have no proof now…'' Light mutters to himself, sounding defeated trying to think how this even happen. How could it? It was perfect and there was no way Yugi could have gotten away. He won and his victory was robbed by him. More importantly, what that thing said made Light even more unease; he was Yugi's enemy?

''And that thing…'' The brilliant genius says to himself, easily convinced and no mistaken that it is the same thing on TV during that tournament. Yes, this was what Ryuk told him back then; this Dark Lord.

Light oddly cracks a smile, not happy but not afraid. First off, he's scared by this monster as he witnessed just how powerful he was. Second, he must have the same ability Yugi has to see Ryuk. Third, if he could see Ryuk, then he must know what he is and already has knowledge on the Death Note. Fourth, he is Yugi's enemy which means he knows he is this Dragon Knight. Fifth, he was twisted which means he is insane or the worst kind, incredibly smart like himself. With just these few details, Light comes up with a conclusion.

''It seems if I wish to become God of the New World, I must kill that creature too.'' Light states mentally. He must kill this Dark Lord to create his new world. As of right now, L is not his only concern and he can only pray he never finds out of this. Also he hopes that damn Shinigami returns soon to fill him in in what he is going on over there.


Ryuk chuckles to himself in the skies, observing directly down below where Yugi stares slightly calm at the Dark Lord, smirking with a menacing way at the human. The two were at silence to the other for quite a while, just looking at the other.

''Surprised to see me that much or didn't I told you this would not be the last we would see each other, brat?'' Dark Leader Dragon finally speaks still smirking with his arms crossed. Yugi eyes him and sighs, replying with a small smile. ''Sorry, thought you were a sore loser.''

The Dark Lord glares as he ascends slightly above the ground looking down at Yugi.

''So you didn't die during our duel, Dark Leader Dragon-kun.'' Yugi concludes by just looking at the demon dragon that he is the same in personality and traits. Dark Leader Dragon snarls as he replies. ''Far from it brat, I made you think I died.''

Yugi eyes him recalling how well relax Dark General Knight was the last time they crossed paths in the Ghost Zone and how he began saying key words as if his master was not dead. This confirms his doubts as he states. ''It explains why your general is still faithful to your goals.''

Dark Leader Dragon glares as he shouldn't be surprised his own general couldn't try to pretend he was dead. It is naturally impossible for Dark General Knight to act like that and that's what he likes about him.

''My General is more than faithful, absolutely loyal… much like you and the kitty cat.'' The Dark Lord proclaims almost hissing at the very mention that his niece loves this brat. It's one thing she loved the other boy who was merely a fragment of what Deep Blue is but the Dragon Knight of all people she's with now. Even back then when they were friends, he hated seeing them so close.

''Ichigo-kun and I are more than loyal and more than partners too.'' Yugi talks back, looking upset that he would compare himself and Ichigo like he and his general. If anything, he and Ichigo are more than anything of that; they hav a bond that he wants to show how much she means to him. But he's afraid… really afraid to get her close not wanting to harm her or bring sadness to her sweet heart. He wouldn't forgive himself if he makes her suffer.

He shakes off his feelings at the moment, needed to be focus as he asks the evil dragon. ''Although, I have to ask why you would fake your death?''

Atem appears in spirit form along with the heads of Yin-Yang Dragon; all of them curious too.

Cracking a smirk, the Dark Lord replies almost peppy. ''For this moment of course. To reveal the horrifying truth that I cannot die and you can never beat him.''

Yugi eyes him annoy. He's a liar but that lie is the worst.

''And this part, Yugi, I'm not joking. I cannot die even if someone manages to vaporize me or turn me into nothing… or stop my heart. For example…'' Dark Leader Knight protests the boy's expression by giving him a simple example. Yugi raises an eyebrow as the Dark Lord sharpens his right claws. And then with one quick swing from them, he slashes off his neck off, beheading himself.

Yugi slowly but completely widens his eyes as did Atem. The smiling head of the Dark Lord turns into dust before hitting the ground while the main body is still flying with its wings flapping. Yin-Yang Dragon remains silent, watching closely as if they're aware what would happen next.

The top headless neck of the Dark Lord begins to shake almost violently before a mass of flesh shoots out upward. Yugi watches almost gross out as the flesh takes the form of the Dark Lord's head and eventually is. The eyes materializes out from the darken eye sockets as fangs shoot out from his fangless-mouth. The Dark Lord adjusts his vision as his pupils glow towards the tricolor head while smirking. ''See?''

Yugi stays silent, almost paralyzed that the Dark Lord could do that. So he couldn't die? And he can heal himself over time because of this? It does make sense to some end but if that's true, why wouldn't he take advantage of that against him or any of the others that could-

''But my little immortality does have one tiny weakness.'' The Dark Lord once more speaks, snapping Yugi back to reality as the evil dragon points his claw at him. ''Only you, the Dragon Knight, can kill me.''

Still silent, Yugi just eyes him shaken finally understanding. This explains why he's so obsessed on him dead. And this makes the tricolor even more insecure.

''And let's face it brat, you're not the type to kill. Only the Pharaoh Atem is capable of that and even then only the Dragon Knight can kill me even if he was using your body.'' Dark Leader Dragon explains almost telling towards Atem directly who glares.

''My reasons to murder you are simply my need to survive…'' The Dark Lord adds chuckling as he found all of this almost truly ironic. He breaks into a laugh. ''HAHAHA… Well, more like I must kill you without a choice but we can talk about that story another day!''

Yugi stares at him still silent, understanding well this is a game of survival. Like in nature the strongest creature outlives the other by eating their prey. Survive of the fittest; this is their battle.

''So what now Yugi? Will you stop me even if you must kill me?'' Dark Leader Dragon demands amuse what Yugi has to say.

The tricolor head looks over his feet, not really sure what he could say. Would it be right? Could he do that? He was undecided to do it with Deep Blue but he was different and even then; he wasn't sure. If he killed the Dark Lord, what does that make himself? Would his friends look at him the same way or would they fear him? Yugi isn't sure… but he knows one thing.

''Not sure…'' Yugi finally speaks up eyeing the Dark Lord, resuming. ''To be honest I don't want to kill anyone because I guess no one deserves that kind of faith, even if they were evil. And I learn firsthand when the other me punished those who committed an evil act with a Penalty Game.''

Atem eyes his partner thinking back on the Yugi who protested when he used the powers of Darkness from the Millennium Puzzle to punish those with those games. Even though it helped others; Yugi could never accept using such a method especially after people like Pegasus, Yami Bakura and Yami Marik used them in such extreme ways.

''I don't want to kill anyone; I just want to do the right thing by helping or protecting my friends.'' Yugi expresses smiling a bit as that method is the only way he and Atem can protect their love ones. The Dark Lord glares not saying a word but becomes mad.

''But if the day does come that I will have to put an end to your evil just like Atem stopped Zorc the first times…'' Yugi adds with a firm stare, also knowing he can't let the Dark Lord harm this world or anyone else. He glares serious adding. ''I'll do it but first I rather find another way!''

Atem smirks a bit while Dark Leader Dragon eyes down at the boy annoy. He can't help but hate the boy's beliefs in finding another way in a situation where there's only one path. It's a foolish path and one that won't help him.

''You're a stupid kind brat.'' The dark dragon admits extending his right claw as his Darkness Scythe materializes from thin air. It's a long, demonic dark scythe with scaled ends that resembles a dragon's with horns. He points his weapon at Yugi with a dark stare. ''And that will cost you!''

Sighing a bit, Yugi pulls out the Dragon Sword from his left waist side using his right arm, twirling it in a spin as its long white ribbon surrounds him. Ryuk blinks confused, not seeing that thing on him. The Shinigami then chuckles pretty astonish there.

''Guess we'll have to see now won't we?'' Yugi responds pointing his sword at the Dark Lord. The evil dragon smirks hoping that would be the answer. ''Indeed.''

The two eye each other and then both suddenly vanish and instantly appear at the other, their weapons just clashing in sparks. The Dragon Knight, glowing yellow, while the Dark Lord, glowing dark red, glares at the other. The two back away and immediately swing their weapons once more, clashing in a burst of energy.

Elsewhere

''Ichigo slow down!'' Mew Erika tries calling out as she and the other Mew Mews and Shadow, grunting, are following a weakened Ichigo, struggling to walk forward. She tries hopping ahead, enduring her weakened state so she can reach the blond-headed idiot and then find Yugi.

''We need to get Jonouchi and then-'' The red cherry head tries to say, hoping Jonouchi was alright but then was stunned as she heard his voice, calling towards her best friend. ''ERIKA-CHAN!''

Mew Erika immediately ducks, sighing as she expected this as Jonouchi, leaping at full force to hug her misses her and falls in front of her.

''Well speaking of the idiot.'' Mew Mint says sarcastically as she sweat drops. Shadow shakes his head embarrassed for this human's stupid attempts of love.

Ichigo shakes her head too and upset he would do that. She spots Kaiba actually lifting her finger at him, yelling. ''Kaiba-Baka!''

Kaiba eyes the red cherry head briefly before looking down at the idiot. ''Seems the mutt was worried for nothing.''

''OH I'VE MISSED YOU ERIKA-CHAN!'' Jonouchi sobs of joy, wanting to hug Erika who tries to gently distant herself with her tail as they are in a middle of a situation. ''Please not now.''

Sighing defeated and scared of her tail, Jonouchi backs away just enough to look at Ichigo and actually panics to see her bruised body.

''Geez Momomiya, the hell happened to you?'' He asks actually concern for her. Ichigo smiles, finally he noticed, as she says not having time. ''Long story but first we need to find Yugi-kun!''

''Hey guys, looking for Yugi-san too!'' Judai asks as the two and almost the rest minus Kaiba and Shadow are scared as heck to see him and his group behind theirs.

''STOP DOING THAT!'' Ichigo and Jonouchi yelled at him and his ''ASS-ASS-IN'' tricks. Judai and even Naruto just grin along with Johan while Ed glares annoy with Al staying quiet.

''How could they not notice us?'' Dani questions, really amazed by the people Danny had made friends with.

''… Is that a tiny Danny-kun?'' Ichigo questions, spotting the girl and was just bluffed to see how much she looked like Danny. Ed sweat drops forgetting that as he states. ''Long story.''

''Found them!'' Sonic yells as the groups minus Kaiba and Shadow once more are startled by this.

''THAT SCARED ME!'' Naruto and Ed both shout at the blue hedgehog with large white pupils. The group blinks to see Sonic with Tails, Knuckles and Kurosaki though it was Kon but no one else not even from afar.

''Sonic, who are you calling out towards?'' Mew Ringo asks pretty confused much like the others. Sonic grins pointing upward. ''The carrot top, who else?''

Everyone else still blinks until they all looked up and eventually, even Shadow and Kaiba, widen their eyes to see this. It is Kurosaki, the real one in his Shinigami form… wearing a different black kendo outfit and wielding a black blade than the large knife-like sword.

''Oi!'' The orange-headed Ichigo greets the group from afar, waving his free arm. Everyone, most, drops their jaws to see this. Even Mew Erika, having been informed of the Elrics and Kurosaki's powers, was not prepared to see a man flying as if he's Superman.

''HE CAN FLY NOW!'' Jonouchi, Naruto, Edward and most of the Mew Mews all shout shock. Judai whistles pretty amazed. Kaiba glares impressed.

''Wait he can't fly? This is confusing.'' Dani questions very not familiar of this. The only of the group that didn't made an expression of Kurosaki's form is Momomiya raising an eyebrow.

''Is that your Bankai thingy Nya?'' She asks very curious as the orange-headed Ichigo nods descending. ''You bet it-''

Kurosaki then stops himself startled as he lands on the ground. He eyes the red pigtail Ichigo, grinning, as he then yells demanding. ''HOW THE HELL DO YOU KNOW THAT MOMOMIYA!''

''A maiden's secret.'' Momomiya replies with a small wink, being mysterious. Kurosaki gives her a firm stare, turning to eye Kon who panics whistling to himself. He hums turning back and asks her. ''Rukia?''

Momomiya smiles nervously. Before the conversation went any further she suddenly widens her eyes, feeling something. Not with her, but she could feel him, fighting and struggling.

''Yugi-kun.'' She mutters advancing forward to everyone else's surprised. Jonouchi just realizes Yugi isn't among the group and that makes him think that he's facing someone.

''If I want to guess anyone the boy is facing, it's him.'' Shadow states with his arms crossed with Naruto already guessing the worst person that Yugi would be fighting. ''That lizard breathe jerk.''

Biting her lips, Momomiya rushes off ahead as the others startled try to chase after her. She pants, still weak, but she didn't as she needed to be there for him. ''Careful Yugi-kun.''

Meanwhile

Sparks of steel flash as blades cross each other rapidly. Yugi and Dark Leader Dragon slashes down the other with quick swings, countering or parrying the other. Yugi is trying to circle around the evil dragon with thrusting slashes but the Dark Lord has replied them with his tail, whipping them back.

Yugi is pushed back as he sees a second later the claw of the Dark Lord about to grab his head and no doubt squeeze it until it squishes like a banana. Luckily Yugi moves his sword so up close that he manages to swing upward, cutting the black dragon's claw's palm.

The Dark Lord roars in pain with eyes of intense agony. He glares at Yugi, extending his head and opens his mouth in an attempt to bite him. Yugi hops quickly to the left in the last second as the dragon jaw bites down hard at nothing.

Yugi eyes him closely, thinking he needs to be more offensive but then spots in the sky in terror to see that Shinigami Grim Reaper of Light's; the one with those blank nightmare eyes.

''With that Shinigami there, I can't risk using my Dragon Knight's powers just yet until he's gone.'' The tricolor head tells himself calmly but sweating as the Dark Lord roars flying at him with his sharp claws. Yugi starts running away as if he's being a coward to the evil dragon's eyes. He has to think of something as the Dark Lord roars again, unleashing small fireballs from his mouth at him.

The tricolor head zig-zags out of the way, gulping at how frightening the Dark Lord's fireballs are… and then it hit him. Yugi smirks having an idea as he runs into a dark alley for his life. Dark Leader Dragon sweat drops at that boy's cowardly retreat. He shakes his head flying right behind him.

Ryuk hums watching as the dark dragon flies through the alley and grabs Yugi just coming out. He starts laughing evilly, choking the tricolor head extremely tightly on his neck. He watches delighted to see him turn blue. Yugi is going to die and the Dark Lord knows it grinning. Almost feels a shame; he thought Yugi is going to become his-

''Hey over here! Are you blind or something?!'' A very familiar and annoying voice calls out to the Dark Lord, stunning him. He looks down and sees him, another Yugi, grinning as he waves down below sitting on a bench. Dark Leader Dragon's right eye twitches furious as he squeezes all the way tight in his claw holding the other Yugi, snapping his neck and reveals to be a Dragon Clone exploding into smoke.

Dark Leader Dragon roars opening his mouth and unleashes a destructive fireball at that Yugi. He stands there still smirking as the flames consumes him and kills him. The Dark Lord glares looking around and not fooled, he spots another Yugi in a different location, yawning as he read a newspaper.

Ryuk blinks, rubbing his eyes at how the strange but interesting tricolor head is doing whatever this is. Not even Light could do that? Was it a human illusion? Or something even more interesting?

Dark Leader Dragon roars frustrated, discarding his scythe as it vanishes, as he descends extremely fast and up-close breathes his flames, burning Yugi away. He then hisses, hearing whistling as he turns. Sitting on the ground with a smile on his face, Yugi is there again.

''If we were playing Time Crisis, you would be the worst shooter in history!'' Yugi mocks the Dark Lord who snaps growling insanely. ''STOP MOCKING ME!''

He flies at him and without even blinking, Yugi gasps finding himself slashed in half by the Dark Lord now behind him with his claw. He smirks for a brief second before Yugi poofs into smoke. The Dark Lord hisses spotting Yugi over a ledge over his view and grinning.

''Two pointers if you can hit from your angle! That is if you're a good shooter.'' Yugi orders him to take a shot if the evil dragon values his victory. Yugi knows he would do it and once he did, his fireball will miss and hit another target just in the perfect angle to him.

Not hesitate or caring in that matter, the Dark Lord roars opening his dragon mouth as swirls of chaotic red flames gather becoming a massive fireball. Yugi watches closely, going to need this to hit just right. Ryuk hums not having a clue what will happen unaware of the positioning he's in.

Dark Leader Dragon unleashes a Dark Fireball Blaze, shooting it at Yugi. He watches closely and surely, timing his chance and with one big leap to the left, Yugi dodges as fast he could. Ryuk blinks pretty amaze a human just did that and then just realizing the fireball is coming towards him.

''Oh crud…'' The Shinigami utters actually terrify as the fireball hits him directly. Ryuk shrieks almost in pain since he cannot be killed by these means but it didn't change that the fireball rams him far, far away shooting upward like a shooting star.

Yugi turns upward and smiles no longer seeing him with some relief.

''Much better-'' The purple eyes says happily for a brief second before he suddenly feels danger. He sweats, turning slowly and panics that Dark Leader Dragon, his arms crossed, looks directly up close. He eyes Yugi with a smirk of sorts on his face.

''Oh I'm sorry, was I supposed to be fooled by the fact I send that Shinigami away?'' Dark Leader Dragon asks completely different than what he was earlier. This shocked Yugi, but more towards the fact that he was aware what that thing is.

''Oh I can see him alright, meaning you were able to as well.'' Grinning at Yugi's stunned and sweating expression, the Dark Lord states very cocky as he leans face forward at the human. He resumes smirking. ''If you wanted me to get rid of him, I would have done it without a second thought than you using your little trick. If you wanted, I can kill you too.''

Yugi panics as he uses Dragon Speed Burst; his legs and feet glowing blue as dashes away with quick speed. He distances himself from the evil dragon, glaring as he still sweats.

''And that gives you the right to kill those not involved between you and me!'' Yugi demands upset, narrowing his eyes at where the Dark Lord had killed those under the control of the Death Note.

The Dark Lord scoffs at such a stupid complain protesting. ''Those meat bags were already dead the moment whoever tried to reveal your identity as the Dragon Knight.''

''So you know about it?'' Yugi questions once more surprised that the Dark Lord knew what have really happened to those people. The Dark Lord startles by his question before slowly grinning. ''I should be saying the same, brat. So you know of the Death Note then.''

''…'' Alarmed that he's careless to ask that, Yugi remains silent. If the Dark Lord knows of the Shinigami and the Death Note, then that would be bad; really bad especially if he and Light meet. If they met, then there's no telling what those two can do.

''Did you also know such a pathetic tool can't kill a Dragon Knight or a hybrid even those who were once pure human?'' The Dark Lord asks the tricolor head smirking. Yugi refuses to reveal anything else.

''You're right; a waste of time to talk of such a thing.'' The evil dragon states believing Yugi won't tell him anything now… Even though the Dark Lord will find out who that Death Note user is, and he will as he says. ''At any rate, enough warm ups boy. Show me the power that bested Deep Blue NOW!''

Dark Leader Dragon spreads his wings and starts flapping them faster and faster, almost like a wind tunnel, before shouting. ''DARK STORM BREAKER!''

Dark winds blasts out from his turbo flapping wings and unleashes them just like a wind tunnel at Yugi. The tricolor head holds up his Dragon Sword and fires a Dragon Slice Attack, pushing the winds but couldn't as his energy slash is teared apart.

Yugi is swallowed up by the dark winds, scratching him as he's trapped in the wind. It pushes him onto a wall, pinning him in place. Yugi grits his teeth, trying to move his arms but couldn't as the wind is making sure he's stuck like glue.

''FRIED AND BURN!'' Dark Leader Dragon laughs menacing, his wings still flapping to make sure the boy is stuck like he wants. The evil dragon then opens his mouth, gathering new flames as he points his claws up in the sky. Dark clouds swirls above him as sparks of electricity were seen.

''DARK BLAZING-LIGHTNING END-BLAZAR!'' The Dark Lord roars unleashing both Dark Blazing End and Dark Lightning Blazar at the same time; he breathes massive crimson flames as if they were a vertical waterfall while dark lightning bolts came down at the sky. Yugi widens his eyes as this might actually kill him. He has to do something or he would be dead.

''CRAP-CRAP! LEVEL UP, DRAGON SWORD!'' Shouting in his head, the Dragon Sword begins to glow responding to Yugi's frightening desires. The combined attack hits at the same time, causing a massive explosion that even destroyed the entire building Yugi was pinned on its wall.

The Dark Lord watches and laughs, wondering how many humans were killed along with the Dragon Knight. Probably none as he sensed that no one was in the building but he didn't care much. It's too priceless, utterly-

''Now you made me angry harming more people.'' A firm voice speaks up in an angry voice, shocking the Dark Lord. He turns and to his shock there stood Yugi, glaring at him with his purple eyes and holding his evolved half-size claymore Dragon Slayer. The evil dragon sweats grinning as he has noticed the sword is in a swinging position.

''Um… in my defense, I didn't mean to-'' He tries to apologize for his mistake to destroy that building and possibly killed a few humans or not… but just speaking makes Yugi madder.

''DRAGONAUN TENSHO!'' Yugi roars, swinging his sword and unleashing close-range energy slash.

Dark Leader Dragon quickly engulfs himself in Black Flame Armor; surrounding his body in an armored coated blanket of black flames. The giant dark blue energy wave, taking the form of an open dragon's mouth, swallows and slams itself through the black flames. The Dark Lord roars in pain as the blast explodes and sends him flying, slamming itself onto the ground multiple times like skipping stones.

Finally the black dragon crashes onto the ground with a major wound across his body but not a death blow since his black flames at least protected him mostly.

Yugi eyes him serious as he says annoyed at himself a bit. ''Dark Leader Dragon-kun, I feel bad I'm weak in my heart to not kill you but if- when I have to at last, I'll make it up to everyone you have killed.''

The Dark Lord slowly struggles to move, hearing what the boy said and it is more stupid than anything he could possible have say about friendship and hope.

''That and that wasn't a strong Dragonaun Tensho I could have fired a stronger one and I'm not even in Yin-Yang Dragon mode either.'' Yugi then adds with a small smirk on his face, mocking the Dark Lord that he's just stronger than him now.

Yin Dragon gives Yugi a glare as if telling him to use their power to kill the dragon now. Yugi blushes a bit telling him. ''Sorry, I might regret it but this is my call.''

The darker half scoffs angrily while Yang Dragon blushes respecting Yugi's wishes.

Those words hit the evil dragon as he gets up normally. Yugi blinks seeing this and also the dark energy wrapping itself around the dark dragon.

''You think...'' The Dark Lord begins uttering with a dark expression on his face, his eyes adjusting while they swirl around almost possessed out of his own hate. ''You think that just because you don't use that power means you could defeat me now?''

Yugi, Atem and even Yin-Yang Dragon watch this with great concern, feeling massive dark energy coming out of him and exploding.

''WHAT DID I TOLD YOU ABOUT MOCKING ME, BRAT!'' Dark Leader Dragon roars viciously as his echoes ARE heard even outside of Japan and half of Asia.

''This massive negative energy.'' Yin Dragon examines feeling all the hate the evil dragon is fueling out of him. Yang Dragon nods gulping. ''Yes brother, this is the Dark Lord tapping onto his true power.''

Yugi and Atem can feel that to be true.

''Now you shall see me brat a fragment of my true power!'' Dark Leader Dragon announces proudly with an evil smirk before letting out another massive roar. ''RRAAAAWWWW!''

The roar is even stronger than the last one. Yugi feels it pushing him back. He watches bracing himself with his Dragon Slayer as the body of the Dark Lord is morphing. His appearance and form seems to be the same but the major change is happening to his wings and his head.

First the Dark Lord's wings expand almost becoming larger. Then what followed is the disturbing part. His normal head remains the same but letting out hisses as an additional head shoots out from the left and another from the right. The left is a thinner head with a mocking smirk expression that looks confused while the right is a larger but angrier face that looks annoyed.

Yugi and his partners blink while Dark Leader Dragon laughs humorous.

''Now are you not impressed, brat? This is just an appetizer of my true power.'' The Dark Lord states fully condition as his power has never been-

''Dodrio.'' Yugi says as those words have left the middle head completely puzzled. ''… What?''

''Or Dugtrio, Magneton, Exeggutor, Combee and one called Hydreigon.'' Yugi adds, naming more things the Dark Lord is not familiar off with a confuse expression. Atem also gives his partner a look as he has no clue what those things also were.

''They're three-headed Pokemon, the Pocket Monsters like my and Jenny's Pikachu.'' Yugi explains smiling. He finds it funny the Dark Lord falls under the trend of three-headed things. And that kinda makes him chuckle, thinking what the others would say especially his rival adding. ''I was going to say Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon ripoff but I'll leave that insult to Kaiba-kun.''

Gritting their teeth, the three-headed Dark Lord glares at the boy.

''You dare-'' The main head speaks a part of his phrase.

''To humiliate-'' The left head adds while drooling.

''Our heads!'' The right head yells annoy looking the other way.

Yugi blinks, really not expecting that the heads would speak actually asking a moment later. ''... They can speak?''

''We all share a mind.'' The main head says smirking cocky.

''We are the personas of what makes up us.'' The right head adds firmly as he looks away from the pest.

''Pride, rage and insanity!'' The left head shouts almost tongue twisting.

''THE PERFECT WICKED COMBINATION!'' All three roar at once as the Dark Lord charges at the boy. Yugi panics as he barely has time to guard with his half-size claymore sword just as he is pushed back by the force of the three-headed dragon's claws. This shocked the young Dragon Knight, not feeling this strength from the Dark Lord before but worst as it feels he was three-times stronger.

''Dark Leader Dragon's speed and attack has multiple!'' Yugi concludes to his horrors as the Dark Lord, grabbing on the edges of his sword, lifts and tosses the Dragon Knight to the sky.

''Triple burned to death! TRI-BLACK FLAME INFERNO!'' The three-headed Dark Lord roars opening their mouths and unleashes a triple dragon breath of black flames, streaming with three times the force and speed that the air vaporizes.

Yugi watches terrify as he's in midair seeing as the three waves of flames are going to consume him and kill him.

''Might need Yin-Yang Dragon mode now.'' The tricolor head asks nicely sweating scared. The two-headed dragon agree shaken. Yugi's body glows in a red fiery aura for a brief second as his eyes turn red, dragon-like eyes.

''DRAGONAUN TENSHO!'' Yugi roars again swinging forward as he fires another dark blue energy wave, clashing over the black flames. He grits his teeth as he realizes this fight isn't going to be easy.

Just arriving to see this, Anzu and Bakura have managed to get away but the brunette felt as if Yugi was in trouble and finds him there.

''There's Yugi!'' Anzu shouts watching terrify to see the tricolor head being in another death match against the Dark Lord who's alive. She bites her lips feeling helpless. No, she has to give him her support. She must.

Bakura gulps also terrify and worries seeing Yugi struggling. He then notices Anzu advancing forward as he tries to call her back. ''Anzu-san wait, it's too-''

''Yugi-kun!'' The two hear a voice from behind. They recognize and turn to see Ichigo rushing forward pass Anzu, calling out towards the tricolor head.

Yugi and even Dark Leader Dragon startle in their attack clash, turning their heads to see the red cherry head and the rest of Team Dragon Knight plus the others.

''Ichigo-kun!'' Yugi calls out still surprise but happy to see her. Ichigo giggles smiling to see he's fine too.

''Ichigo?'' Anzu questions also surprise to find her here. Ichigo startles turning to see the brunette. ''Anzu-chan?''

''Anzu?'' Yugi startles to see and then Bakura.

''MEATBAGS!'' Taking his chance and shouting, Dark Leader Dragon flies through his flames and even the Dragonaun Tensho, laughing as he comes out like a shark. Yugi turns back only to find the Dark Lord's palm slamming onto his face, sending him crashing to the ground. The attacks both vanish as the Dark Lord flaps his wings flying and laughing evilly.

Ichigo and Anzu sweat drop as they are both responsible for distracting Yugi. The young Dragon Knight gasps in pain, trying to get on all fours as the Dark Lord still laughs at him.

''What perfect setting! Having your friends watched as I kill you first!'' Dark Leader Dragon gloats flying towards Yugi, holding his scythe on the side. He prepares to swing it but immediately swirls around, blocking the black blade from the orange-headed Shinigami.

''Ichigo Kurosaki, so we meet.'' Dark Leader Dragon greets the Substitute Shinigami with a devilish smile. Kurosaki glares firmly certain only a monster like this would be an enemy to someone like Yugi. ''And you must be the Dark Lord bastard.''

The Dark Lord growls swinging his tail at the boy but he vanishes through his superior speed. Ichigo distances himself before coming back at him with a barrage of slashes. The evil dragon roars intercepts the quick swings with his scythe as both weapons clash rapidly over the other.

''Sonic's fat nemesis will tell you thank you from me for reviving the Grand Fisher. By the way, I killed him much like I will do to you!'' Kurosaki tells him glaring, not losing track where his slashes are going to hit. The Dark Lord scoffs backing away impressed the boy could move as he descends ground level. Ichigo glares following the same.

''Humorous brat you are with such bright attitude… like your mother.'' Dark Leader Dragon proclaims triggering a word that snaps Kurosaki from his focus state. He floats there stun before slowly glaring with a murderous stare. The evil dragon smirks wanting this boy to showcase his power. Acting on impulse, Kurosaki reaches with his left hand over his face, clinching on his fingers on the top of his head. The Dark Lord hums, feeling dark energy manifesting over his face from his palm. He smirks, wondering what this boy is capable of.

''MOVE!'' A voice shouts as Kurosaki, stopping whatever he was doing, turns and drops his jaw as multiple large and sharp spikes began shooting out from the ground towards him and the Dark Lord. He instantly leaps up and flies over as did the Dark Lord missing the spikes barely. He frowns angrily, looking over and spots the alchemists who did that.

''Or fly, whatever. Break physics more.'' Ed yells angrily, wanting to surprise attack the Dark Lord and he also feared the orange-headed would have done something stupid. Kurosaki didn't reply not planing to lose control like that.

Dark Leader Dragon hums eyeing the Alchemists and soon his frown becomes a smirk speaking. ''Oh? The infamous Fullmetal Alchemist and his little brother, the taboo children.''

Al is shaken by what he said, not expecting he also is aware what they did; Human Transmutation. Ed, sighing not so surprise, isn't in the mood to feel bad for his crime today.

''I would start saying me and Alphonse have committed a sin that can never be undone but today, we're just going to kick your ass and shatter your body like glass!'' Edward declares vowing to break the demon dragon who smirks at his pathetic remark. ''You can try!''

Ed glares clapping his hands as sparks fly out around them and he slides his normal hand over his automail arm, transmuting and extending a blade. The Dark Lord smirks flying towards him just as Ed claps again quickly and slams his hands on the ground. A pillar shoots out just under the Dark Lord but he slashes it with his claw just as a second pillar shoots upward under Ed's feet as he leaps at the evil dragon.

Ed swings with his blade arm but the Dark Lord's tail extends and slams the alchemist onto the ground. Kurosaki glares and charges forward but then he suddenly stares eye-to-eye to the very same evil dragon appearing out of nowhere in front of him. He smirks as his three heads unleashed quick fireballs, slamming directly at Kurosaki whose slam onto the ground too.

The Dark Lord laughs as he comes at the two only to be intercepted by Elemental HERO Neos, throwing a powerful Wrath of Neos at the dragon's main head. The demon dragon tanks the blow but grins evilly as his other two heads breathes massive flames, burning the hero to ashes. Judai grunts angrily by that.

''You have some nerve to not be dead!'' Kaiba calls out annoyed, summoning his Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon and unleashing a Burn Stream of Destruction. The Dark Lord sees it coming and wraps himself with Black Flame Armor, tanking through the blast and coming out from it unscratched.

''I'm not here to question your fondness with the brat, Kaiba!'' Dark Leader Dragon roars swinging his scythe and fires a Darkness Blade Slash, destroying the white dragon instantly. He laughs victorious, expecting more from weaklings. ''Was that all-''

The others said nothing as they have a good reason; this is Naruto's plan. As the Dark Lord is busy, Naruto made the clones and remaining Chakra he still got to make his trump card and settle it, even if his arm gets wasted.

Rushing from behind the floating the Dark Lord, Naruto comes right down above olding the Rasenshuriken in his right palm.

''WIND RELEASE: RASEN-'' Naruto begins shouting, knowing even if he did shout that there was no way the Dark Lord would dodge or react to it. He was wrong as the other two heads twist themselves 180° degrees and both fire small fireballs. Naruto widens his eyes panicking as the fireballs connect on him and explode. The orange-black jumpsuit shinobi crashes down with his Jutsu vanishing.

''That trick won't work on me, Kyuubi brat!'' Dark Leader Dragon yells already aware of the boy's intention the moment his sensitive dragon ears picked up the sharp hearing of his technique. He laughs but only for a second as he suddenly finds himself double attack by Sonic and Shadow's Homing Attacks.

''But ours will!'' Sonic shouts as he and Shadow push hard and send the Dark Lord back grunting angrily to see the two before him. ''These damn hedgehogs.''

Momomiya watches helpless as much as the others as Ed, Kurosaki and Naruto gets up far from done and Judai smirks summoning Elemental HERO Flame Wingman now. She bites her lips wanting to help them but as much as she wants to; she couldn't transform being too weakened. She lowers her head, thinking once she mastered the Ribbon Chidori that maybe… she's stronger.

Yugi gets up slowly, seeing his friends all fight for him and… he can't accept them doing this for him. Not like this, not if their lives at risk.

''ENOUGH OF THIS!'' Dark Leader Dragon roars knowing well that taking these fools is a waste of time so he'll have to fix that by introducing them to the concept of despair. He vanishes only to reappear, grabbing a sudden surprise Yugi and shouting as he throw him upward and far. ''Now watch as I kill you first, Yugi!''

The others watch in shock as Kurosaki tries to leap after him but the Dark Lord waves his hand as black flames surrounds over the group like a dome, making sure none of them try anything.

Yugi watch that as the throw sends him fast and hard, flying over the clouds and now stopping, coming back down immediately. He panics trying to do something but the force of this fall is making it hard on him to move.

''Darn it…'' Yugi curses to himself as he begins falling to his most likely demise. Even with the power he used to beat Deep Blue, it's not enough. ''Dark Leader Dragon-kun is too strong now even with the Dragon Slayer.''

The young Dragon Knight still holds tight on his sword but even with all the power it had, it isn't enough. He feels powerless as the Dark Lord will trash over his friends and he's going to die. Frustrated, Yugi questions this. ''What am I supposed to do? How am I supposed to protect them?!''

''You might be smarter but you're still a young human meatbag.'' Yugi widens his eyes as he stares at the spirit form of Yin Dragon's head on his left shoulder. Yang Dragon's head then appears on Yugi's right shoulder adding. ''Yugi-san, you forget we're still here remembered?''

Widening his eyes, Yugi did forgot about the power, no, the bonds with Yin-Yang Dragon. Smiling at how at how careless he's going to be, Yugi nods raising his left hand at the sky. He wishes one day to soar above to the future he and his friends are meant to have.

''Almost forgot about that. Let's do it, together!'' Yugi, determined, declares as the two-headed dragon nods raising their right arms, each in between his hand. Just then surges of red energy manifests between them as Yugi smiles shouting. ''STAGE 1!''

Everyone witness as Yugi is engulfed in red fiery energy erupting all over his body. Ichigo watches closely, knowing exactly what's going on… but can it be enough to beat the Dark Lord?


Commercial Break:

Yugi: I have a lot of people I want to protect because they mean the world to me. I won't lose to you, Dark Lord!

Dark Leader Dragon: Use all your powers you want brat but in the end, I shall be the victor!


In the dimension that can be considered the heaven where souls go; Soul Society, in the location where the protector and law of the souls and eliminators of the Hollows, the Seireitei the home and main headquarters of the defenders of souls and Hollow killers, the Gotei 13.

Rukia Kuchiki gulps nervously, slowly approaching the main room where all the Captains including the Captain-Commander gather to have their meetings within the 1st Division quarter. She was demanded, after her informant and Ichigo's comments, to be asked to come and speak directly on the matter. However, she feels tensed and it didn't help that a certain red-headed Shinigami promised he would go with her but went to get a new headwear like the he idiot he is.

She sighs, sliding the door open and bows introducing herself. ''Division 13's Rukia Kuchiki, here and present!''

''You may enter.'' A voice tells her as the raven-headed Shinigami walks in.

Rukia enters to be in the presence of the Captains of the Gotei 13. They all wear a white haori, a kimono-like jacket, over their Shinigami clothing to symbolize their position with each one having a different Insignia on their backs and most wear theirs differently.

Standing on the top with other Captains on the sides is the man considered the strongest Shinigami and founder of the Gotei 13. The Captain-Commander Yamamoto is the oldest captain in the Gotei 13. He has the appearance of an old man with red eyes, a very long white beard, and long eyebrows. There are many scars seen on his bald head, the two most prominent being a pair of long, perpendicular scars above his right and a left crossing over the other.

''Captain-Commander; thank you very much to you and the Captains allowed myself, a simple Shinigami, to be here.'' Rukia expresses herself professional, bowing to the Captains.

''It's quiet alright. Captain Ukitake suggested you should be here.'' The Captain of Division 4, Retsu Unohana, speaks in a gentle and kind voice. She is a slender and very youthful woman with blue eyes and black hair. She wears the standard Shinigami captain uniform apart from using an obi instead of the normal sash. Her hair is long and is always worn as a large braid down the front of her body. Her Zanpakuto was carried over her shoulder by a large string attached to its sheath. She eyes the said captain who blushes to be mentioned.

Jushiro Ukitake, Captain of Division 13 and coughing with a smile, has long white hair, almost reaching his waist as his right green eye is shown. Ukitake wears the common Shinigami uniform with a long sleeved captain's haori, and a crimson lining. He also wears a narrow white obi, in which he secures his Zanpakuto.

''Kuchiki-san was determined in forming me of her-'' Captain Ukitate begins praising the young Kuchiki until he suddenly coughs out badly, heavy even as if his lungs are going to come out. ''F-Findings.''

Rukia blushes nodding firmly. ''Y-yes! These past weeks I have discovered stuff of possible allies that might be willing to help us fight the-''

''Can you confirm it?'' The Captain-Commander suddenly interrupts the raven-headed who blinks much confusion. ''On what, sir?''

Yamamoto opens his eyes towards her, looking quite serious about it. ''On the Dragon Knight.''

Rukia actually becomes startled. The other Captains remain silent though this is something not even the Captain-Commander would prefer to know on since the last Dragon Knight they were aware of was unfairly accused as an enemy… by Aizen's findings and those findings as of now are lies planted by their true enemy.

Gulping slightly, Rukia replies to his request. ''I've met him a few times but I can say he's probably one of the softest persons I have seen… but his power is on a different level. He's no liar and if he was, he's a good human similar to what Captain A-''

She suddenly stops herself, knowing well the very mention of Aizen would upset almost all present.

''Never mind.'' Rukia apologizes. The Captain-Commander didn't care much if that boy, Aizen, is even mentioned. And speaking of boy's, looking at the young Kuchiki asking. ''Where is the Substitute Shinigami brat anyway?''

''Ichi- Substitute Shinigami Ichigo Kurosaki is still in his home of Karakura.'' Rukia informs him… that and Ichigo wouldn't be interested to come to Soul Society to just inform. That's not his style.

''I see… Call him.'' The Captain-Commander demanded upsetting the young Shinigami. ''Sir?''

Even the other Captain stared at their commander as he is more firm on his decision.

''U-Understood.'' Rukia replies, not wishing to upset him as she prepares to take out her cellphone, hoping Ichigo would pick it up and answer it like he's supposed to.

Smirking at his own interest, Captain Mayuri Kurotsuchi of Division 12; smirks tapping over his chin with his left middle finger. He wears strange face paint with a black cross upon the center of his face covering everything but his nose and a small portion of his lower chin which are white. He also wears small but wide ear attachments as his chin has a long golden attachment reminiscent of an Egyptian Pharaoh Beard, golden teeth and wore a golden frame around his face. His hair is also styled into "horns," that slope down from the top of his head and frame his face, which when viewed from the front looks much like a Pharaoh's crown. His fingernails are blue and, with the exception of the fingernail on his right middle finger, are all short. The one long fingernail is as long as the finger itself.

''If this so-called Dragon Knight is real, I wouldn't mind ''chatting'' with the young human-'' The mad scientist begins speaking out of curiosity only to be silence by a sneeze, coming from the most layback of Captains.

Shunsui Kyoraku, Captain of Division 8, is a tall, light-skinned Shinigami with high cheekbones, grey eyes and long wavy brown hair. His hair is tied in a long ponytail and has long bangs that frame the left side of his face. He also has a noticeable amount of body hair on his chest, feet, and arms. He also wears a Sugegasa straw hat and a pink, flowered lady's kimono, which he drapes across his shoulders and over his captain's uniform. He has thin facial hair around his mouth and on his cheeks.

''And experimenting on him, I presume?'' Shunsui questions already guessing what his intentions were with an almost carefree tone.

''Now why must everyone expect I'll-'' Mayuri begins defending his statement only for all the other Captains to eye him unconvinced, not even for the slightest. He scoffs smirking, slightly fascinated they can see through his real intentions. ''Yes, experimenting would be the right terms.''

Rukia sweat drops, hoping Yugi never meets him or else it would become… horrifying… or the other Ichigo… oh that would be worst. She sighs, making the call and hoping her Ichigo isn't doing anything stupid. As long as he's behaving and nothing bad is happening, things will be fine.

Elsewhere

(Now Playing OST… AXIS from Yu-Gi-Oh! The Dark Side of Dimensions)

"STAGE 1!'' Yugi roars explosive, his left hand still up as he lifts up his index finger. Suddenly a rush of red energy wraps itself around him and explodes, stopping him from hitting the ground. This force spreads across the area as everyone feels it like it. It even washes away the flames the Dark Lord had set around them.

''What the heck?!'' Dani utters never feeling anything that isn't ghostly no less this strong. Kurosaki actually has to brace himself with his arm holding Tensa Zangetsu and feeling the blade actually shaking. Ed panics sweating much like the others.

Shooting upward from the flash of energy is something with wings descending and landing on the ground. Everyone watch as it's Yugi but different.

He's covered in the red energy but denser becoming more like a shroud as the energy takes the form of a dragon with energy-like claws over his hands and feet, a long red tail, dragon's head with horns and ears over Yugi's, energy-like horns on certain spots over the main body and a pair of dragon-like wings. A white and black outline surrounds Yugi as well as he opens his still red dragon-like eyes, glaring even more determine and serious than before as sparks of white and black electricity briefly seen at times flashing.

Dark Leader Dragon stares almost surprise as Yugi eyes him back with a confident smirk, almost telling him he's not holding back.

''That's Yugi-kun's power when he uses more of Yin-Yang Dragon's power Nya!'' Ichigo utters, remembering that transformation way back when they had their confrontation against Deep Blue. Naruto stares actually terrify as this resembles himself when he uses the Kyuubi's chakra, hoping Yugi doesn't lose control.

(End of Soundtrack)

Dark Leader Dragon hisses at Yugi's appearance but also cautious staying in a distant. The others watch silently… until something begins ringing. They look towards Kon, still in Ichigo's body, blinking confuse. He checks his pockets and pulls out Kurosaki's phone.

''Hey Ichigo.'' Kon says handing the cellphone to Kurosaki. He receives it and sees the number immediately being Rukia. ''Great timing Rukia.''

He flips open his phone and to his horror the screen of his phone lights up like a projector and literally projects half of Rukia's top body to Ichigo's stunning expression. Ed drops his jaw, his mind drooling as that is not right that technology of this world breaks most of his understanding.

''Ichigo, sorry about leaving but-'' Rukia begins stating before she stops staring almost baffled uttering. ''W-why are you in your Bankai? Where the hell are-''

''What the hell did you do to my phone?!'' Kurosaki interrupts her, complaining at what she has done to his phone.

Rukia smirks at his react, happy she did him a favor answering. ''Oh I see you like it. I upgraded it like those ''smartphones'' you humans need to buy every year.''

Kurosaki stares at her almost not sure as he wonders if it works with other cellphones. ''D-does it work with-''

''NOPE! Only works with mines. Isn't that great?'' Almost reading his mind and denying him that much, Rukia answers with a peppy voice. Glaring just annoy now, the orange-headed Ichigo then asks after a moment of silence. ''… What do you want? And where the hell are you anyway! The others and I have been-''

''Never mind what you want, the Captain-Commander wishes to speak to you and the other Captains are among as well.'' Rukia tells him firmly sounding with Kurosaki confuse by this. Before he could be object, the Substitute Shinigami is immediately greeted by the Captain-Commander firm tone. ''Ichigo Kurosaki.''

''Yo, Oji-chan!'' Kurosaki greets him back as the old Shinigami gives him a firm look now. Rukia, however, panics horribly cursing to herself mentally. ''DAMN IT ICHIGO! DON'T CALL THE LEADER OF ALL SHINIGAMI SUCH A NAME!''

''What you need? I'm in the middle of something.'' Kurosaki states not in the right position to chat around. The Captain-Commander and almost all of the other Captains who paid attention could see that as he says. ''Then I will get to the chase. I must know about this-''

Suddenly Kurosaki's image through the screen on Rukia's phone is slide past as it shows Sonic, blinking. Rukia drops her mouth as the other Shinigami captains are not sure what they were looking at.

Kurosaki drops his jaw, not sure when the blue spike ball even took his phone off his hands.

''Geez, now that's an old man.'' Sonic remarks saluting to the Captain-Commander and all the other Shinigami. Rukia shrieks with her mouth being covered by her hands, not believing he said that.

''Hey! Give it-'' Kurosaki angrily shouts trying to take it off Sonic's hand only for the blue hedgehog, whistling, throwing it onto Naruto's hands. The blond-headed shinobi hums eyeing the screen and began exploding in laughs. ''HAHAHA! He sure makes Granny Tsunade old!''

Kurosaki glares dashing to take it but Naruto, whistling too, tosses it to Judai who eyes it. He leads his head and smiles a bit that this guy reminded him of Kagemaru minus wanting to gain his youth by taking the souls of Duel Monster spirits to get it and possibly end the world with the Sacred Beasts.

Ed grabs the phone from Judai, curious as he moves it in a way that the projection actually turns to whatever the phone was to see other people.

''WOAH! This thing spins around the surroundings of the other side!'' Dani utters, actually pretty amazed even though she has NO idea what this is all about. Ed sweat drops, really hating logic right about now.

''OI, I REALLY NEED-'' Kurosaki demands frustrated trying to take it from Ed who whistles and tosses it upward. He panics as it falls right in Momomiya's hands smiling. And unlike the others, she would have hand it over until she spots something, instantly holding the phone to see it closer. One of those captains… WAS A DOG… to Momomiya's eyes and it reminds her of what Kurosaki mentioned of a Shinigami BEING A DOG… IT WAS HIM.

Sajin Komamura, Captain of Division 7, stares unease by the red cherry head eyeing him with such interest. He is an anthropomorphic wolf and basically the tallest among the other Captains. His fur is light-brown in color, which is the same color as his gloves with bracers. He also wears shoulder weights over his haori and large, plated boots instead of sandals.

''OH HOW ADORABLE! That's the adorable doggy you mention to us Kurosaki-kun.'' Momomiya purrs happily finding the captain the most adorable even though he would rip her up. Naruto, Ed and Kurosaki drop their jaws to hear that.

Mew Zakuro blink as she leans to take a peek and hums suspicious. She then corrects he leader. ''… He's a wolf.''

''A-a what now?'' The red pigtail Ichigo drops her mouth eyeing Mew Zakuro who eyes her calmly, nodding to confirm he is a wolf.

''A-ADORABLE?! WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN TELLING PEOPLE OF ME, ICHIGO KUROSAKI!'' Komamura began barking angrily, snapping at the orange-headed Shinigami at the other end who didn't mean it that way. ''N-NOTHING!''

Jonouchi hums taking the phone from the red pigtail Momomiya to scan the phone and came across something that made him laugh… and it's a certain Captain he shouldn't ever be laughing about.

To those smart enough that can tell; Byakuya Kuchiki, Captain of Division 6, has slate gray eyes and long black hair, which he keeps up in intricate white headpieces, wearing three on top of his head and another two on the right side. In addition to the standard captain uniform, he wears a silver-white, light silk scarf. He stares quiet calm… and annoyed at the mortal boy laughing towards him.

''Hahaha! Look at that loser! He uses hair extenders to keep his hair from coming off!'' Jonouchi presumes grinning, showing it to the others with Kurosaki and especially Rukia paralyze. ''And that stupid scarf. Man I've seen gayer stuff on gays and then that stupid-''

Jonouchi's smile slowly begins fading away, narrowing his eyes as both that guy and Rukia are oddly similar… of appearance… like as if… they were… ''Strain… of… hair over the… face… that looks similar… to eh…''

Anzu sighs as the blond-headed idiot began panicking and immediately laughs nervously saying. ''B-BUT that's what some bastard would say. Not me, not me at all Kuchiki-san! Your daughter is amazing!''

Rukia is frozen with her older brother twitching his left eye for a brief second. Age matters not to a Shinigami… but he won't accept it when the human as stupid or clueless as him can't tell the difference.

''H-He's my brother.'' Rukia corrects him leaving Jonouchi frozen out of fear. Kaiba scoffs, amaze only a mutt can be as stupid as him to make such an obvious mistake.

Also scoffing at this situation, Captain of Division 2, Sui-Feng, is a relatively petite woman with gray eyes and black hair. Her hair is worn short with two long braids bound in white cloth, each ending in a large golden ring. She wears a traditional Shinigami captain's uniform with a sleeveless haori and a yellow obi tied around her waist. Underneath her sleeves, she does wear long black arm bands. Instead of wearing the standard Shinigami sandals with tabi, she wears traditional Chinese shoes with ordinary white socks.

''You have some idiotic friends, boy.'' She tells the orange-headed Shinigami more than bored of this. Kurosaki glares at her, protesting. ''Hey, if you want to start something, wait for Yoruichi to say something clever and you pretend that it's so funny because you-''

''ENOUGH!'' The Captain-Commander yells slamming his old wooden staff on the ground. Even if they were like dimensions away, Team Dragon Knight could feel the tense of the staff.

''Kurosaki, tell us who among those people with you is the Dragon Knight.'' The child prodigy of Division 8, Toshiro Hitsugaya, asks the Substitute Shinigami before he or his new friends commit something worst. Naruto blinks at the kid's appearance with turquoise eyes and short, spiked, white hair. He was wearing a standard sleeveless captain's haori with a green sash around his shoulders, held together by a round, star-like clip. The sash holds his Zanpakuto's sheath in place on his back and is tied to it at either end. He sometimes walks around in his tabi.

Naruto hums eyeing Ed for a moment who gives him a death glare, certain the idiot is going to say they have the same height.

''Including the drunk guy listening. The one with the neat robes.'' Judai adds startling most of the group with Captain Kyoraku laughing at the young man's impressive guess, trying to hide the fact he has been drinking since last night. ''The kid's sharp and I've been drunk since this morning.''

The most of the Captains sighed with Captain Ukitake sighing a bit.

Kurosaki sighs having spent too much time on this as he uses Shunpo to take back the phone from Jonouchi's possession.

''Well if you must know Oji-chan, that would be-'' The orange-headed Ichigo is about to reveal who the Dragon Knight is to the Captains until an evil dragon, overhearing all of this, suddenly snaps with a twisted grin completely ignoring Yugi.

''GENRYUSAI SHIGEKUNI YAMAMOTO!'' Dark Leader Dragon's voice roars intensive causing the group to turn. Kurosaki even turns his phone face towards the image of the Dark Lord, startling most of the Captains and Rukia. The Captain-Commander, however, glares calmly as he's aware of the creature but he's none of his concern. His real focus is towards the other, the human engulfed with strange energy. Yugi stares back confuse, not exactly hearing or paying attention who the others were speaking to.

''Those eyes don't match his eyes but no doubt about it; that must be him.'' Yamamoto confirms to himself, remembering those eyes of that man.

The Dark Lord, however, hisses angrily at the old man, far from forgetting his face no less the last time he saw him.

''Do you remember me! I believe the last time we ever met was when your sword, your precious Ryujin Jakka, burned me away and failed! And once I kill the brat and Aizen, you're next and your sword will be mine!'' The evil dragon threatens the Captain-Commander to the other captains startling expressions all except the one guy who grins insanely.

''YOU HEAR ME, SHINIGAMI!'' Dark Leader Dragon roars with a twisted smirk as his eyes seem to begin to pop out from his socket, opening his dragon mouth. ''MINE AND I'LL USE IT TO BURN DOWN YOU AND YOUR WORLD! HAHAHA!''

The Dark Lord instantly fires a fireball right at the phone. Kurosaki quickly reacts, discarding it and pushing everyone back with his speed. The fireball misses them but hits and burns away the cellphone.


There was a lost in connection back in Soul Society as there's nothing but silence among the Shinigami.

''I LIKE THAT GUY!'' Kenpachi Zaraki, Captain of Division 11, breaks the silence with a devilish madman grin. He is a tall, muscular Shinigami with a wild and aggressive appearance. He has a long face with pronounced cheekbones, and pronounced, hairless brow ridges. He has green eyes and long, stringy black hair. A noticeable trait in his appearance is a long, thin scar running down the left side of his face and across his left eye. In addition to the standard Shinigami uniform, he wears white bandages across his midsection and a sleeveless captain's haori which has a ragged look to it. He styles his hair into stiff strands, attaching small bells at its tips, and wears a black eyepatch over his right eye.

''When do we KILL him?!'' The obsessed Shinigami demands eager to kill something that fun.

The other Captains were still at silence as that creature, aware by most and others have been told by him as a myth, are unease to see him in reality. Rukia stares at her phone, more than worry if her Ichigo and the others would be fine.


''My phone!'' The orange-headed Ichigo yells enrage, looking at what remained of the melted pond that was his cellphone. ''Damn it! Did he have to burn my phone?!''

''Welcome to my world Nya.'' Momomiya mutters to herself, having her phone usually wrecked or worst more than once and not by her doing.

''Excuse our interruption. Now where was I-'' The main head of the Dark Lord hums, eyeing the boy's appearance and remembers smirking. ''Oh yes. Impressive form, brat.''

''But even with that-'' The left head adds licking its lips.

''You will never-'' The right head declares angrily, preparing to let out a roar but not before all three heads are suddenly slap across the face by Yugi, appearing almost in a second later and hitting them with his energy dragon tail. The tail whip actually crack their inner head bones as the evil dragon is sent flying right through a building and slams halfway thought another.

Everyone almost drop their jaws as Yugi states with a small smile, glaring furious. ''Not in the mood of hearing you speak three times.''

Kurosaki sweats actually astonished. Was Yugi this strong in that form?

Erika stares just as amaze, almost shaking by the fact Yugi isn't losing control or attacking anyone but truly focus towards the Dark Lord.

''Yugi is complete control of that form.'' The Scorpion Mew Mew mutters to herself. The Inner Scorpion then speaks in Erika's thoughts almost upset. ''Those two-headed lizards. They may be in a cage but their bond with Yugi is starting to grow.''

''Cage?'' Mew Erika questions as she didn't know that. The Inner Scorpion sighs explaining it to her daughter. ''Not to keep them out Erika but to complete the connection between user and themselves, a test if you can call it.''

Mew Erika still blinks not sure why they're caged up or by who or what?''

Roaring out from his hole, the three-headed Dark Lord charges back at Yugi who vanishes almost as if he wasn't then. The Dark Lord roars vanishing too. Everyone blinks, scanning the area just as a strong force appears from the right. They turn to see Yugi clashing strikes with the Dark Lord temporary before vanishing. Then they reappear clashing on the farther right and then changed to the left. They're clashing weapon, appearing and reappearing in different places; from the ground to mid-air.

Yugi swings rapidly slashes with his Dragon Slayer much better than before as the Dark Lord replies just as fast. The three-headed dragon roars shooting multiple fireballs at the young Dragon Knight who spins his body around and slams his energy tail over their attacks, redirecting them back. The Dark Lord flies upward, twirling his scythe and starts swinging it firing Darkness Blade Slashes. Yugi eyes them with his enhance dragon-eyes, able to see them coming a mile away almost in slow motion as he evades each slow, zig-zagging almost like a blur through the energy slashes.

Dark Leader Dragon roars unleashing a Tri-Black Flame Inferno as the massive roaring flames are coming towards Yugi. The young Dragon Knight lets out his own roar, losing his hand like a claw as a Dragon Rasengan begins forming in his palm. Taking a step back, his legs and feet surrounded in sparks of black and white, Yugi shouts leaping forward. ''YIN-YANG DRAGON RASENGAN BULLET!''

Dashing through almost like a short bust of a blur, Yugi slams his energy sphere turned red with sparks of black and white, tearing open through the flames like a train to water. The Dark Lord panics as his flames are pushed back. The young Dragon Knight dashes upward until he's face-to-face with the Dark Lord and swings downward with his Dragon Slayer.

The others watch as they thought Yugi would slash him down and win but to their horror the Dark Lord somehow catches it with his free claw, actually keeping the sword still. The young Dragon Knight sweat drops as the Dark Lord roars kicking Yugi back down and him flying after him.

''You think just because you can match up to me-'' Dark Leader Dragon's main head starts saying as he reaches face-to-face to the descending Yugi, swinging his scythe at him. Yugi intercepts with a quick slash but to his horror the Dark Lord stabs him across the stomach with his free claw, digging his claws inside of him to crash him onto the ground.

''That you have what it takes to beat me-'' The right head roars furious, tossing a daze Yugi in midair, releasing his grip and swing the side of his scythe onto his right rib, sending the tricolor head flying as he gasps in blood.

''In our perfect unstoppable whacky power?!'' The left head laughs crazy-like as the black dragon flies at top speed, grabs Yugi by his leg and tosses him hard onto the ground and then kicks him through a wall. Yugi gasps of pain, trying to land on all fours only to be whacked by the Dark Lord's tail through a wall.

Team Dragon Knight watch as the evil dragon smirks firing multiple fireballs at where Yugi crashed through, almost not caring.

''The Dark Lord still is superior to even someone like Yugi. Typical.'' Kaiba mutters annoy, finding this more furious that his rival might die to this nutjob.

Kurosaki had watch enough of this, clinching on his black blade as he raises his free hand over his head. ''Then I'm going to help him!''

''Me too!'' Judai declares as his eyes flashed golden before becoming orange-teal, going to summon Rainbow Neos again and beat the Dark Lord with it.

Naruto nods forming three Shadow Clones and planning to vaporize the evil lizard breathe with a Rasenshuriken. Before the three even did anything, Momomiya steps in front of them stopping them. ''Wait Nya! Leave this to Yugi-kun alone.''

The three and the rest of the group are shock to hear that. Dani has no clue what's going on exactly but even she could tell that the guy with the weird hairstyle is going to die. Jonouchi, oddly enough, wants to let Ichigo to explain herself. Out of all of them, she would be the one to jump in without a second thought.

The red pigtail Ichigo turns back, seeing the Dark Lord blasting at where Yugi was in and knew why he's fighting alone knowing everyone is present.

''He would have asked us to help him but this shows he doesn't want any of us to get hurt. For to him, we are more valuable and his reason to never give up Nya.'' Ichigo expresses, turning back to the rest with a look. ''We should respect that and give him our support.''

The group stare silent though Shadow smirks along with Ed. Kurosaki sighs with Judai smiles with Naruto and Sonic. Anzu smiles as well agreeing with the cherry head.

Mew Erika eyes her friend, not ever seeing Ichi so relax knowing someone she loved was in trouble, not even with Masaya Did that mean she believed in Yugi to the point that she knows he will win? Just that thought makes her think.

Ichigo turns back, watching with a small smile on her face that Yugi is far from over.

Dark Leader Dragon laughs finally stopping his fireball barrages. He eyes closely at the destroyed wall, well the quarter of the building, trying to wait when Yugi would jump out and-

''Just because you're stronger and can speak three times.'' Yugi's voice speaks echoing around the Dark Lord. The evil dragon startles looking around but not spotting him until a second later the very same Dragon Knight appears right beside him, extending back his left fist engulfed in massive dark blue energy. The Dark Lord then flinches seeing the spirit of the Nameless Pharaoh helping his partner along with the spirit of Yin-Yang Dragon behind him.

''DOESN'T MATTER TO ME!'' Yugi shouts as he swings his punch at him. Dark Leader Dragon panics as the Dragonaun Knuckle hits his main head directly... sort of would have destroyed the head if Yugi wasn't kind. Instead, the attack hits and sends the evil dragon flying through another building. He stops himself with his wings before he crashes onto another building.

Dark Leader Dragon pants, realizing he's going to reach his limit soon but if he could outlast Yugi, just long enough; he wins and kills the boy. But this didn't change how furious he is letting out a roar of frustration. ''DAMN YOU!''

The Dark Lord flies back at top speed as Yugi runs flapping his energy dragon wings and glides towards the evil dragon. Both reach halfway, glaring at the other with a stare before suddenly both swing and collide their weapons in a massive wave.

The two resume clashing weapons in an almost impossible maneuver of ways from Yugi crossing his sword back and forth to get to the back but the Dark Lord pushes him back whacking him across the chest with the pole of his scythe. Yugi, however, grabs that end and spins the Dark Lord still holding on his scythe to the far left. This gave Yugi a chance as his energy tail thrusts forward, wrapping itself around the Dark Lord's own tail and starts spinning him around like a windmill but faster. Dark Leader Dragon slowly turns purple at how fast he's spinning him until Yugi slams him hard on the ground like a toy.

The Dark Lord emerges quickly, hissing before launching back at him with a scythe swing that Yugi parries with the Dragon Slayer, following it with a cross horizontal swing. The Dark Lord ducks it with ease thrusting his claw to pierce the boy's chest through but Yugi isn't going to let that happen even a second time as he expertly moves around to the back almost like a blur, evading his reach, and swings his half-size claymore sword again towards the heads. The Dark Lord panics as his main head ducks but not the other to as they are slashed off to their grieving demise.

''AAAWW!'' Dark Leader Dragon roars making an outrageous expression, feeling the pain of his two heads and such pain brings him to hating the boy more. He grabs onto Yugi by the head and not even thinking throwing him from afar. The Dark Lord roars as his two heads reform glaring venomously towards the brat, done with him.

''ULTIMATE COMET…'' All three heads of the Dark Lord begin shouting, opening their three mouths as swirls of three spheres taking the odd forms of a comet, growing as they charge.

Yugi manages to spread his energy wings and using his energy tail as an anchor, stabbing the ground, to stop himself from flying back. He sees the attack and extends back the Dragon Slayer, going to use everything he can on this one attack.

''YIN YANG…'' The young Dragon Knight along with Yin-Yang Dragon begin chanting, their eyes glowing as the sword erupts in large white and black flames.

Team Dragon Knight watches silently, seeing those two about to unleash their strongest attacks.

''DARK DESTRUCTION BURST!'' Dark Leader Dragon explodes as their three heads releases the comets, blasting off through the force of jet black destructive flames.

''DRAGONAUN TENSHO!'' Yugi roars with Yin-Yang Dragon, swinging his sword and unleashes a more powerful energy slash wave, its colors white and black as it also takes the form of twin-headed dragon's head.

Both attacks clash and ram onto the other in a burst of lights. Kurosaki watches and actually sweats, ordering everyone to back away now. Momomiya gulps agreeing as they did and take cover. Once they did, the lights soon become too bright and explode, piercing upward to the sky and over the Earth. Light and dark shine for a moment before everything becomes dark and then normal.

The group peek their heads, seeing flames all over the area. Anything that was out is burned away or at worst melted away.

''PUFF… PUFF… PUFF…'' Sighing heavily, both Yugi and Dark Leader Dragon try to catch their breath never feeling as exhausted as they were. The tricolor head soon feels a headache, struggling to keep his guard up but dropping it that once gives the Dark Lord the advantage he wanted.

''What's wrong boy? All out of steam already?'' The evil dragon comments to the boy's pain. Yugi eyes him still panting, not looking well as if he was going to pass out. The Dark Lord smirks, overjoy by the fact in this stage Yugi doesn't have the means to endure such energy output and now he can kill him. ''Then allow us to give you despair now. DARKNESS SHUNPO!''

Erupting in dark energy, the Dark Lord takes a step and vanishes instantly.

Kurosaki witnesses this closely and protests angrily. ''Oh you got to be kidding me!''

Panicking, Yugi tries scanning where the Dark Lord would most likely-

''TOO DAMN SLOW!'' A fist punches across Yugi's face, belonging to the Dark Lord laughing. ''DARKNESS WALTZ!''

Dark Leader Dragon extends and thrusts a series of rapid punches from afar. To everyone else he's standing there as Yugi, however, he's being struck across by multiple invincible punches. The young Dragon Knight feels his body almost failing him and his bones cracking through the pain he's receiving. The Dark Lord laughs like a maniac before pulling back his scythe and swings it forward like a murderer. ''DIE!''

Team Dragon Knight watches all of them turning pale as the Dark Lord actually cuts right through Yugi and then each part of his body begins shredding into pieces. Dark Leader Dragon breathes slowly, struggling a bit, satisfy that he has chopped down… he looks at what remained of Yugi and just drops his jaw.

''W-wood?'' The Dark Lord utters as what he cut was wood… WOOD! The Substitution Technique! Then-

''YIN-YANG-'' Spoken from behind the stun Dark Lord and surprising his friends, Yugi starts chanting with a small smirk on his face while his Dragon Slayer, holding it in a swinging position, is engulfed in the same white and black flames. The evil dragon didn't have time to dodge this… but he didn't have to smirking.

Suddenly the Dark Lord's tail moved and thrusts right through Yugi's chest. The tricolor head widens his eyes terrified, gasping out blood.

''Yugi-kun!'' Ichigo screams in terror. The evil dragon grins, certain his tail went through his lungs meaning the boy would die for sure. There¿s no way he could outlive this.

Yugi stares frozen but his vision or his strength didn't vanish yet as his eyes glow furious. He immediately swings his sword while twirling his body, not able to complete the Dragonaun Tensho and instead slashes through the Dark Lord's wings. This shocked the evil dragon letting out a brief roar as his heads were slammed by Yugi's energy dragon tail. Dark Leader Dragon and his heads all have expressions of pain as they were sent flying and his tail coming out from Yugi.

The young Dragon Knight drops on the ground, coughing out blood and oddly still alive. He could still breathe checking his chest to see his wound is healing up rapidly. Sometimes, he's just too grateful of Yin-Yang Dragon's powers. Then again… HE DIED ONCE and he's feeling weaker so this is them using more of their reserve energy for this.

Dark Leader Dragon manages to stop himself from flying, panting angrily as he lands his feet weakly.

''I already told you enough games! You cannot beat me! You can try and say whatever you say…'' Dark Leader Dragon begins ranting angrily if not beyond intense, losing his senses at this point. ''BUT YOU DIE TODAY, ONCE AND FOR ALL!''

Yugi struggles to get up, thinking his body won't move anymore but then he hears Atem's voice within him. ''Never let your body command your actions. Trust in your heart to move you Yugi, embrace it and get up.''

Smirking a bit, Yugi nods as starts moving his body regardless of the pain.

''… Telling me that I'm going to die… won't make it come true.'' Yugi replies, pushing himself up on his knees. Shaken and almost out of energy, feeling his shroud slowly vanishing, Yugi tries his best to not let this beat him. If it did, if he gave in now… he would betray everything he went through since the day he made the Millennium Puzzle. What is the point of having friends if he can't be the one to protect them and make them happy? He isn't going to let them get hurt or lose everything if he dies now.

''I won't die not because I'm the Dragon Knight but because I won't leave behind the promises and friendship I have for everyone in my heart. I owe it to someone that I would show her how much she means to me!'' Yugi explicates giving a glare at the evil dragon. Ichigo hears that and blushes red, wondering if that person he's referring about is her. Who was she kidding, it was her as Ichigo smiles, wanting Yugi to win for them, for their friends, for everyone.

''That's why I won't give up! I will never give up, EVER!'' Yugi vows determine to defeat the Dark Lord and his three heads once and for all. As he did, however, he slams his hand on the ground to push himself back up but once he did, a summoning seal forms around that palm as smoke appears just as he stood up.

This surprise everyone including Yugi, slightly opening his jaw still on his knee. ''D-did I just?''

Just then the energy shroud of Yin-Yang Dragon's energy vanishes off Yugi's body even his eyes went back to normal, causing him to panic terrify that he has just used up all of his energy.

''W-WAIT-WAIT! I DIDN'T MEAN THAT!'' Yugi shouts scared as he could hear Yin Dragon yelling in his head. ''YOU DAMN IDIOT!''

Yang Dragon sweat drops not sure how he'll defend Yugi at this point. Even Atem finds this ironic since Yugi didn't bit his thumb to require his blood for the summoning.

''In my defense… I DIDN'T KNOW I COULD DO THAT!'' Yugi protests really out of character but who wouldn't after what just happened. He didn't even know that could happened but it did happen. ''I actually perform my Summoning Technique without biting my thumb. How?''

No respond until Yang Dragon gasps explaining it. ''Our energy is basically our blood Yugi-san, blood you infuse with your own.''

''… A little disgusting but okay, makes sense.'' Yugi accepts oddly. Since he and Yin-Yang Dragon are closely connected, it would make sense that their blood are both the same and energy could be blood too… still gross.

''Well get ready to weep because without Stage 1 Tail, you won't win now.'' Yin Dragon concludes upset as they will likely die now. Yugi eyes at the smoke as the summoning is still going to happen and smiles not worry now. ''That depends if I had enough for a big summon.''

Yin Dragon blinks confused until Yang Dragon gets the message declaring excited. ''Lord Pendragon! Of course! Very good idea Yugi-san! With the lord of dragons on your side, the Dark Lord won't-''

Yugi is going to nod and smile about it… until something emerges out of the smoke and it's nowhere as close to the giant dragon he had summoned before.

''HELLO!'' With a happy tone comes out the head of a dragon Yugi has never seen before and one that was very up close to his face.

The smoke disappears as the full body of the dragon is shown. No doubt this is a female, beige scaled dragon that has edgy-stone like scales, horns and small wings. Her tail had a spike-like end that resembles a mace. The dragon wears a brown kimono with torn-up sleeves and ends with a dark brown sharp-end outlines. Her claws are colored brown as the dragon has cruelly-like horns almost like pigtails. The female dragon blinks at Yugi almost interested with her dragon-like brown eyes. To Yugi and the others watching, she was really-REALLY cute.

Yin-Yang Dragon drops their jaws with widened shock eyes. Everyone else also had the same expression, minus Shadow and Kaiba who just drop their jaws slightly.

''That is not him.'' Atem confirms with a startled, sweating expression as if they're going to die now.

''Um hello?'' The purple-eyes young man greets the happy dragon looking and even sniffing at him up close. She smiles even happier. ''You were the one who summoned me, rw! This is great-great-GREAT!''

Yugi sweat drops trying to have a straight face but he sweat drops just being utterly confused. Was this dragon for real or is she like Pudding?

''Y-yea, I summoned you… well didn't mean it but I guess there's no turning back, haha.'' Yugi explains to the dragon chuckling a bit. He eyes her and smiles, raising his right hand to her. ''I'm Yugi.''

The dragon sees that and becomes really happy, shaking his hand rapidly.

''I'm Terrarux! Happy to be of serve, Mr. Starhead!'' The dragon introduces herself as Terrarux smiling as she did. Yugi sweat drops even more being called that name but the dragon did and knew was a good one.

''HAHAHAHA!'' Snapping out, Yugi glares at the laughter of the Dark Lord's three heads.

''This is truly pathetic, huh brat?'' Dark Leader Dragon's main head proclaims smirking.

''That's your final trump card?'' The left head adds drooling almost hungrily.

''You summoned such a child to fight a big boy like me?!'' The right head growls intensely.

Yugi still glares weakly, trying to lift his Dragon Slayer now struggling. He doesn't have enough energy left but he'll have to try regardless.

Before he could walk forward to confront the evil dragon, Yugi is stopped as the brown scaled dragon leaps on front, eyeing the demon dragon determined.

''Leave this to me Mr. Starhead!'' Terrarux announces actually sounding serious but in a cute way. Yugi didn't like that at all warning her. ''Wait, he's-''

Not giving him the chance to speak, Terrarux runs at the Dark Lord even for her small legs. The Dark Lord laughs at this as his three heads charge flames in between their mouths.

''TRI-DARK FIREBALL BLAZE!'' Dark Leader Dragon roars as his three heads unleash triple dark red fireballs at the same time. Terrarux blinks as the fireballs all strike where she was running at, exploding in a blast of flames. Yugi watches startled while the evil dragon laughs insanely.

''Burned lizard, BURN-'' The Dark Lord shouts evilly until suddenly, not sure how, Terrarux poops out from behind him. ''PEEKABOO!''

His three jaws dropping, the Dark Lord turns completely left shock by this. ''WHAT THE HELL-''

He isn't going to finish his sentence as the brown scaled dragon twirls her body, slamming her mace tail across the three heads. The Dark Lord yells in pain as he's thrust to the left. He tries to stop himself, just then noticing a hole behind that dragon, realizing that's how she escaped his attack.

''DRAGON ART!'' Terrarux begins to call out loudly, clapping both hands and then raises the right hand towards where the Dark Lord was. ''EARTH DRAGON TECHNIQUE!''

The ground starts shaking rapidly as emerging from the ground is a long stretch of earth taking the form of a massive snake body dragon with glowing green eyes. The creature roars, coming at the stunned Dark Lord and slams itself across him.

The demon dragon roars, using his three heads to fire a Tri-Black Flame Inferno, burning through the stone creature and slashes it apart with its scythe. The Dark Lord flies upward, badly scratched by the surprise attack but nothing he couldn't handle.

''THIS MEANS-'' The evil dragon begins ranting that the damage did nothing only to be interrupted by Terrarux slamming her tail on the ground. ''DRAGON ART: TRUE EARTH DRAGON BULLET!''

The ground suddenly becomes wet like mud as emerging from it was a mud-like body of a dragon. The creature opens its mouth and shoots out mud bullet-like balls at the Dark Lord almost rapid fire.

The evil dragon flies around evading the mud balls with ease even slashing them with his scythe. He laughs at this futile attempt, about to make a comment of how weak the technique was until he notices that dragon is gone. He blinks, not sure when did she-

''DRAGON ART: CLAW ROCK TECHNIQUE!'' Gasping from the shout of a technique, the Dark Lord turns startled to see Terrarux now behind him grinning. Her claws were encased in rock taking the form of larger and bulker claws as she slams them at the evil dragon at full force. The force of these stone claws are much heavier than the Dark Lord had been prepared for, actually slamming him right on the ground like a meteor's crash.

Everyone watching is left speechless by this little dragon doing all this damage to the very same Dark Lord that was beating Yugi. Dark Leader Dragon coughs out in pain as he's being punched over by over by a happy-going Terrarux, on him, and just hitting only his heads like Whack-a-Mole.

''FINAL TECHNIQUE!'' Sounding extremely peppy, Terrarux declares leaping back as the stone claws crumble into pieces. She then starts making stances as if pushing something invisible with her real claws. Once more the ground began to erupt as Yugi could see an aura build up within the dragon.

''DRAGON ART: ULTRA-'' Terrarux begins to declare as the sky darkens.

''GIGANTIC-'' Terrarux continues to call out as a large shadow overtakes the area.

''DRACO-'' Terrarux adds grinning as the Dark Lord and everyone else look up and drop their jaws.

''SHOOTER!'' Terrarux finishes as a largely human size small meteor descends now over the Dark Lord, having her face imprinted on its surface. Dark Leader Dragon and his other two heads sweat as this would hurt.

''LE FINI!'' Terrarux announces spreading her arms as the small meteor falls over the Dark Lord, crushing his two heads to death as the rest of the attack falls on the main head.

Yugi is completely baffled to see the Dark Lord crushed in that meteor. He sweats terrify that his luck in surviving the evil dragon has saved him again with this summon.

''T-that was wow.'' The tricolor head admits just astonished if not more than amazed actually. The dragon grins by his nice remark.

''You're welcome! NIGHTY-NIGHT!'' Terrarux calls out happily yawning before falling backwards and sleeps, growling before she vanishes through smoke. Jonouchi drops his jaw, not believing that just happened. One moment Yugi summoned some kawaii of a dragon and second she CRUSHED the Lizard Breathe as if he was nothing!

''S-she just poof away.'' Bakura utters just as astonished, never seeing such a strange creature like that. Anzu nods but she was relief adding. ''But Terrarux did it.''

Yugi nods smiling weakly, seeing the Dark Lord twitching out of pain, crawling out from the giant meteor that fell over him. He couldn't move much or well if he did one of his remaining bones would crack.

''M-MY HEADS!'' Dark Leader Dragon sobs loudly that his heads were destroyed again and he's too weak to regrow them. He curses in his head angrily. ''D-defeated by that dragon… how damn humiliating!''

He tries to do something but couldn't and if he overdoes it, he might revert to human form and then... the evil dragon then gasps, looking nervously to see those damn humans, animals and his niece eyeing him. The Dark Lord knows there's no way out of this and he has to retreat, much to him planning ahead and not letting this be a repeat or worst his death.

''Dark General Knight!'' The Dark Lord calls out to him. Appearing from the demon dragon's shadow is his loyal dark general, still damaged from his previous fight. ''I am here my lord.''

He pulls his master up and carefully. The dark general then pauses and immediately forms a Dark Force Barrier Gate behind his back as Kurosaki instantly appears right there, swinging his blade and firing a Getsuga Tensho up against the reflecting barrier. The blast actually shatters the gate but not harm the general or his master. Dark General Knight then lifts up his hand and pushes Kurosaki with an unseen force of dark energy.

Dark General Knight looks to see Kurosaki back with the others, even more amaze the boy was indeed holding back such form. The dark knight chuckles slightly, looking forward to battling him again.

''THIS ISN'T OVER BRAT! YOU HEAR ME!'' Dark Leader Dragon roars viciously towards Yugi, trying to not move. ''NOT OVER!''

A dark portal appears below the two and they are absorbed inside, vanishing along with it. Yugi, panting heavily for a moment, finally relaxes as he falls on his back. His Dragon Slayer glows briefly as it reverts back to the Dragon Sword.

Yugi sweats weakly, never before getting this type of beaten not since Deep Blue. Let it hope to be the last. He notices his friends walking towards him as he waves at them weakly.

''You alright Yugi?'' Jonouchi asks actually a little taken away by the fact his best friend looks like more beaten up than when he himself is beaten up by thugs before. Yugi smiles weakly, nodding. ''Yea… yea… Just hungry… and I can't move my arms or legs.''

Everyone sighs as Kurosaki sighs the loudest, asking Momomiya for her cellphone to make a call. Ichigo giggles handing it over as she helps Yugi up and moves him somewhere far away from here before the police appears.


After relocating, the group waits for Kurosaki who returns with Orihime. With his ''she is not my girlfriend with large melons'' of a friend, she heals the weakened Team Dragon Knight back at full strength. Yugi, once again, has never felt so much better as he was or was Yin-Yang Dragon feeling like they were at full power again.

Thankful for the group, Yugi sweat drops when he's introduced to Dani.

''Danny-kun has a cousin?'' Yugi and Ichigo ask themselves puzzled while Jonouchi drops his jaw. Dani sighs as she has some things to talk to Danny when she sees him next time. She tells the tricolor head, after calling his hair weird, that they'll meet again as she wants to ask him a few things. With that she leaves flying off.

''I better take Inoue back then… and wait what Rukia will do to me too.'' The orange-headed Ichigo says upset as he lifts Orihime in a bridal style who has a face of a tomato blushing as he vanishes with her. Yugi blinks amaze how fast Kurosaki was with his Bankai mode.

After an exchange look between rivals, Kaiba leaves somewhat happy Yugi is not dead. Soon everyone else says their goodbyes, heading out too though Ichigo blushes nervously that she'll have to explain a few things to Erika tomorrow.

Now all that remain is Yugi, Ichigo and Jonouchi as they walk together first heading to Yugi's house and they arrive pretty close by.

''Well I better go. See you guys tomorrow.'' Yugi says his goodbyes, leaving the two behind. Ichigo blushes waving goodbye and then she gasps almost forgetting about the drug thing. Jonouchi sighs exhausted about to leave until he's grabbed by Ichigo and drags him as they follow Yugi in secret.

The tricolor head didn't take him far to reach home, opening the door. He rubs his head, knowing Peach will want to smack him with a pan or something. Even though he's scared, he didn't care. He has other stuff to think about especially how he'll deal with Light.

After he removing his shoes, Yugi walks up to his room and closes the door once he has entered.

''SIGH…'' Sighing, Yugi pulls out a small medicine box in his pocket and opens it, seeing his important pills. He grabs one and is about to swallow it in his mouth until suddenly the doors of his room is forced open by Ichigo with Jonouchi behind her.

''HA-HA!'' Ichigo shouts pointing her finger as Yugi panics and drops his box and pills on the ground, turning at the two with a surprise expression and yells. ''W-WHAT THE HECK?!''

Ichigo and Jonouchi leap themselves over a stun Yugi as he's pinned down to his shock.

''Don't worry Yugi, you're not alone!'' Jonouchi lets him know concerning as Ichigo adds worry for him too. ''That's right Nya. Now we can fix your junky problem!''

Yugi blinks actually not sure how to react. He, however, begins to chuckle into slowly laughing hysterically. Ichigo and Jonouchi blink awkwardly. They never heard Yugi laughing like that no less that happy. Trying to calm himself, Yugi coughs as he tries to say. ''Um… actually, Ichigo-kun, that's not what you think. That pill you saw me about to take? That's actually glucagon.''

''… Nya? It's another word for crack?'' Ichigo replies more confuse certain he's trying to trick her, maybe, hard to tell. Sweat dropping now, Yugi smiles as he explains. ''More like a medicine. You see… I have diabetes.''

Ichigo's confuse stare slowly shifts and gasps, actually leaping off him. Jonouchi drops his jaws, sweating, as he forgot Yugi has that.

''YOU WHAT?! YOU'RE A DIABETIC NYA!'' Ichigo yells terrify losing her mind to think Yugi was on drugs but instead it's a pill to protect his health. How stupid could she have been to not realize that?!

''Wait… don't you use insulin?'' Jonouchi questions at the tricolor head who eyes him and sighs smiling. ''I told you the doctor said that would be bad for me after last time.''

''Oh yea.'' The dirty blond-headed realizes also forgetting that chuckling nervously. The red cherry head slowly turns around at the idiot, glaring at him and instantly grabs him forward.

''WAIT, WAIT… you knew? HOW COME YOU NEVER TOLD ME?'' Ichigo questions loudly at the idiot, demanding to know why he's so stupid to forget something so darn important about his best friend. ''HOW COME YOU KNEW BUT FORGOT AND MADE ME THINK HE WAS ADDICTED NYA!''

Jonouchi sweat drops not sure what to say, forgetting Yugi had. Ichigo becomes so mad that she raises and slams her knee onto Jonouchi's private place. The poor young man gasps in pain with blank eyes before dropping down and slams his head on the ground.

''That's why you never wanted any sweets from the café.'' Ichigo realizes now eyeing Yugi. He sweat drops not realizing this would become a problem. He tries to apologize smiling. ''Sorry. I should have at least told you this but well...''

''BAKA-BAKA!'' Ichigo rants furious, slapping Yugi over and over as he sadly takes the multiple flaps head on. ''OUCH-OUCH-OUCH!''

Ichigo sobs, clinching her hands, as she was terrify that her beloved person was in a dark place and harming himself AND HE WASN'T.

''YOU MADE ME WORRY ABOUT YOU FOR NOTHING! I WAS SCARED YOU WERE A CRACK HEAD OR WORSE!'' Ichigo starts yelling again, continuing to slap Yugi as he guards with his arms. "DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW I FEEL NYA!''

Yugi eyes her and knew he really scared her but he couldn't help himself but to laugh again. ''Hahaha…''

Ichigo freezes to hear him laughing as if it's joke. Yugi lowers his arms and instead holds her hands with his own. She blushes red, still sobbing mad as he tells her. ''I owe you one then. I promise.''

Blushing redder, Ichigo scoffs pulling her hands away from him replying with her arms crossed. ''OH YOU BETTER NYA!''

Yugi chuckles never seeing Ichigo act almost like a Tsundere. Ichigo blushes redder as she twirls around and walks to the door. Jonouchi grunts, rubbing in between his legs as he walks behind her.

Yugi's grandfather yawns checking what was with all the noises and blinks to see Ichigo and Jonouchi walking out of Yugi's room. He quickly turns around, not wanting to find out what his grandson was up to with them. He'll ask him tomorrow.

Alone, Yugi smiles brightly that he has people who really cares for him, especially his beloved red cherry head. Just seeing her this mad makes him even happier… now picturing how her lips feel, just a bit. Or how she was on top of him… he sweat drops not wanting to think like that as he goes to take a well deserve rest... after he makes a call.

Yugi and Team Dragon Knight manage to survive their encounter with the Dark Lord… but the real terror was only getting started.


Within the now dark night inside Equalord Enterprise, Akumu screams furious trying to hold his temper although his dark energy is tearing through the walls and floor of his office. Dark General Knight stands there, even getting hit by the energy waves, being completely loyal to his master.

''DAMN THAT BRAT!'' Akumu roars violently, still weakened and exhausted, trying to control himself but this is far from it. He's WINNING and almost won if not by another miracle the boy pulls off with that Summoning Technique. He was humiliated; THREE TIMES.

Not able to see his master like this, the dark general speaks up kneeling down. ''My lord, this isn't the time to lose control.''

Akumu stops and hisses down at his general. He stops himself, realizing he's right but his dragon pride wouldn't accept it.

''I know but even so…'' The Dark Lord tries to calm down hissing. ''I could have beaten him.''

Dark General Knight agrees with him. No doubt even with that power of the Yin-Yang Dragon, it's still too weak for the boy while his lord has begun to regain the truly destructive power he once had that could destroy planets.

''The boy is becoming much stronger with that power of his. No less he only won because he's smarter.'' Akumu admits angrily not facing a foe as smart as him… at least not since that man… or his brother.

''But my lord, you will soon eclipse him. As he grows stronger, so will you and-'' Dark General Knight tries to tell him almost to cheer him up but Akumu raises his palm, interrupting him. ''Yes-yes but that doesn't matter knowing he will-''

Just then Akumu freezes up oddly sniffing something in his office.

''My lord?'' Looking concern, Dark General Knight calls out to his master. Akumu scans the room. Once he did, he sighs, taking a calm deep breath. He exhales and relaxes… until he suddenly grows his dark dragon tail and extends it long, wrapping itself to something invisible. The dark knight startles as Akumu, raising his right hand as his human skin peels off to become black scaled dragon claw.

Glowing dark, his claw fires a sphere of dark energy at the thing his tail has wrapped around. It hits the invisible target, crying out as it reveals itself to be a Hollow.

''KWWWAAI!'' The Hollow cries out in pain as the blast disintegrates it into nothing.

''A disgusting Hollow got this far in our base?'' A shocked Dark General Knight utters while Akumu glares calmly. ''Not bad, he made a better spy but slightly better. And speaking of him-''

Just then, ripping the area of space before them, a dark hole almost shaped like a mouth opens up. Akumu glares as that's a Garganta and only one man would dare make one appear out of nowhere like that.

Within that dark hole, two figures walked out as Akumu's eyes shift to his demonic dragon eyes, aware who one of them is.

''Well hello…'' One of the two male figures speaks walking out to reveal a smug yet calm smile on his face belonging to none other than Aizen himself.

''It's been quite a long time, Dark Lord-kun.'' The former Shinigami captain greets the Dark Lord with a look of arrogant yet pleasure to see him. Akumu glares even more vicious, his tail extracting back to its normal length. He grits his teeth angrily, wishing he never has to see this bastard again but he knew that was far from the truth.

''Same old superior scum you still are, Sosuke Aizen.'' The Dark Lord hisses wanting to eat this man alive.

Aizen just smiles to see the man hasn't changed his temper. Appearing beside him was naturally Gin, smiling like a fox to see that man who's a lizard and his pet knight.

''Well ain't ta the winged lizard and his metal butler, Captain Aizen?'' Gin states almost just as amused, mocking the Dark Lord's anger. Dark General Knight scoffs recalling that man, the one who is always next to his master's hated enemy. ''The fool.''

Gin hums eyeing him and just smiles in a mocking manner, questioning him. ''Hmm? I thought you were dat fool.''

Dark General Knight glares angrily as the silver haired former Shinigami just grins at his rage.

''Enough bantering, Gin.'' Aizen orders his subordinate without once raising his tone as Gin obeys taking a step back still smiling. The brown haired Shinigami, also not losing his smile, stares back at the Dark Lord with his piercing brown eyes announcing. ''We only came to address to the Lord of Darkness that I will be the one to handle the new Dragon Knight.''

Dark General Knight startles by this while Akumu explodes furious, roaring angrily. ''THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH-''

Akumu is immediately silence when Aizen point his right index finger upward. It is then both Akumu and Dark General Knight are frozen in place, feeling Aizen's massive spiritual energy. Under normal conditions, this wouldn't bother them but since they were both exhausted from their battles, they have no chance to even move or break free from this.

''Oh I believe that's not up to you to decide.'' Aizen states making it clear, dropping his finger as his energy vanishes and causes the other two to drop to their knees. ''I'm most curious just how strong Yugi Mutou-kun and his friends can get. Call it an experiment.''

Dark General Knight breathes heavily, even though he was a living suit of armor, his soul is a different story feeling like he was dying again. Akumu glares viciously at the man, thinking he'll be mocked by his superior intelligence and might? As if!

Aizen turns his back as Akumu gets up as his other hand becomes a dragon claw, trying to transform into Dark Leader Dragon and show this fool the true despair of-

Before he could even do that, Akumu gasps as he suddenly sees Aizen reaching towards his sheathed Zanpakuto. No? Did he expect Akumu would?

''Though if you don't like the idea, you can always result to being a brute and fight me.'' Aizen states quite confident, never once turning his back but he's smiling having a menacing, superior look on his face as if he's going to rape his mind or something.

''…'' Biting his lips, fearing a battle with the man will be his loss in his current conditions; Akumu let it go as his claws reverted back to human hands and his tail vanishes. Aizen moves his hand away from his sword's handle no longer needing to use it or rather did he even need to use it?

''I'll take that as my way of leave. Let's go Gin.'' Aizen complies on his own desires waving his hand as a gesture. He walks back into the portal as Gin joins him not before waving at the two. ''So long, flying gecko and pet.''

Dark General Knight glares insulted as the portal closes up and the two Shinigami vanishes from view.

''Damn them.'' The evil knight curses clinching his fist angrily wanting to kill them now. Them and the other one with them. They all will die if given the-

''Let Aizen have his fun.'' Interrupted by his vengeful thoughts, Dark General Knight turns to his master walking back and sitting his throne. Resting his head over his right hand, Akumu grins actually amuse at the thought that Yugi and his Team Dragon Knight, even his niece, fight a man like Aizen and his army he has created. He wants to see that and see the look of despair when Aizen realizes who exactly he picked a fight with and loses.

''Curiosity killed the cat after all.'' Akumu adds vowing on his words that Aizen will lose to Yugi.

Can Team Dragon Knight handle the terror of Aizen and what he plans to do?

Thank you for another great episode. I thank those who are helping me get this story notice and enjoy it. For those who love it, please review my story and give me your opinions or thoughts to it.

Next Time…

Ichigo has suddenly gone missing out of nowhere and Yugi realizes something is very wrong as a student he never has seen before has somehow convinced almost everyone else he's been in the around for a lot time. Confronting the new student, Yugi discovers a shocking truth as he's forced into a duel with a huge wager on the line.

Yugi: Ichigo-kun not here?

Judai grins eyeing Kurosaki: Which-

Ichigo K: HA-HA… He was referring about Momomiya, idiot.

Judai: Oh yea… *he got worry now* But Ichigo-chan left before I did. She should be here.

Ichigo K: Speaking off Jonouchi isn't here either. And then some guy I never seen before saying he was friends of Yugi for a while.

Judai now worries with a stern dark look: Deja-vu.

Yugi: I don't like this now either. Next time in Yu-Gi-Oh! Dragon Knight Reborn: The Duel within Dimensions! Duel Standby!

Judai: Since Ichigo-chan isn't here I'll-

Erika: Let me Judai-san. Please remember to read, enjoy and review. Yugi, we need to find Ichigo. I have a bad feeling she's not in a good place.

Yugi: I agree too. Please be alright, Ichigo-kun, Jonouchi-kun.


Author's Note: DAMN DO I LIKE TO WRITE THESE LONG CHAPTERS! I asked myself ''Should I cut it in half?'' and then I said NO! No… leave it like this. This is my first Yugi VS Dark Leader Dragon rematch since Volume 1 because Volume 2 was more like a brief clash, the intro of the Gotei 13 oddly enough, some moments with the group, and Aizen and Akumu's confrontation. And I made this one quite interesting… but I can promise you Volume 4 will be even better. I will say I HAD fun writing this chapter.

ALSO... Those who read Reshef of Destruction... congrats, this is your prize for next chapter.

Also Terrarux is inspired by the Latin translation of Earth, Terra.


I hate doing this after the build up but next week, no DKR. Other than what I mentioned on the top about losing my Internet... sigh... Something happened and I have no choice. Sorry guys. I hope you all understand. I don't want to since I didn't upload last week due to depression but... I don't have a choice. Sorry.
