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!


(OPENING 3: Warriors by Yuichi Ikusawa from Yu-Gi-Oh! DM)

Volume 4: Episode 59: The Calm before the Conflict!

In the previous episode of DKR:

The final duel in the KC Cup Finals' first round commences between Ryan and Raphael, a battle of Equip Cards. While Raphael had a strong premise with his defensive cards, Ryan fight back with his powerful and legendary Noble Knights. He overpowered even Raphael's Guardian Eatos and Dreadscythe without much of an effort. However Raphael uses his true new power, Guardian Angel Eatos and almost won him the duel but Ryan still surpassed him with Immortal Phoenix Gearfried.

Ryan passed to the next round and thus the first round of the KC Cup Finals has ended. Who will make it through the second round and win?

What will happen next?

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

Returning back to their headquarters, L and the rest of the Kira Task Force had been watching from the monitors to the cell room that Yugi is kept in… and well not what they expected.

They had him remove anything he's carrying but Yugi ask for only blank cards and uses them to use a memory-memory, memory game. It's basically him using his mind to pretend and guess what each card is by memory… more complicated than it sounds even for L… and distracting too… for Atem however, it was child's game.

"This is ridicules…'' Soichiro tells himself mentally not believing this young man is so weird. L, however, found this rather entertaining way to keep a strong mental mind in check.

''Hmm… interesting he can guess each card while they were all blank.'' L concludes the game's mechanic as he theorizes. ''The average person would have gone mad doing what he's doing.''

Yugi flips a card and sighs upset not getting it right so he shuffles the cards again. L hums also coming to the same conclusion that he would have screw up.

''Hey!'' Yugi speaks out from inside his cell, asking his captor. ''This is really boring in here. Can't I watch the tournament in here maybe?''

L reaches and presses a button to the microphone and speaks through it. ''I apologies Mutou-kun but not today. I will give you a chance tomorrow.''

''Neat…'' Yugi speaks from his cell, really dull and annoy. He sighs shuffling the blank cards again. The Millennium Puzzle was locked in a locker along with most of his stuff like his jacket, shoes, even Duel Disk and Deck. He had to hide the Dragon Sword unseen by others in his jacket just in case it could be revealed by random or worst. Even away from his partner, Atem was still close to his partner to speak to him telepathically. ''You're being too calm about it partner.''

''I would be driven mad by this actually.'' Yin Dragon says telepathically finding this extremely boring... then again, it was always boring before they could communicate with Yugi.

"I do agree with my brother on this Yugi-san.'' Yang Dragon adds finding this cage… well like their current cage except they have their host to talk to.

Yugi frowns agreeing with them but he doesn't have a choice explaining himself. ''I know but I don't have a choice but to play with this game…''

Just finishing his lines groan upsetting. Yugi is worry how the others are and how long he'll be locked up here.

''I hope the others are okay.'' He asks himself hoping they're okay. He then lowers his eyes, thinking of a certain red headed pigtail he adores. Yugi can only imagine she's worried for him too and can only pray she'll be fine.

''I'll see you soon, Ichigo-kun.'' Yugi tells himself, vowing to get out of this mess fast to see her and everyone else.


Everyone prepares to leave from the Kaiba Dome. Erika prepares to leave spotting Ichigo waving goodbye to the others as she has other businesses to deal with. She blinks approaching the cat girl and utters puzzled. ''Ichigo?''

Ichigo turns smiling to see her best friend who asks her. ''You're leaving?''

The red cherry head nods explaining. ''I'm going to Yugi-kun's home to check up on Jenny-chan and their grandfather. It's the least I can do Nya.''

Erika smiles imagining she would do that. She nods though tells her. ''Be careful okay?''

Ichigo winks at her worries and responds peppy going. ''Always Nya! Be safe too Erika-chan!''

Erika nods and watches smiling as Ichigo heads out. She looks around alone to notice everyone has left too.

''I guess Jonouchi left too.'' She mutters kinda expecting he would flirt with her. He was edgy and for good reasons; he's dueling Kaiba next and Jonouchi's luck against him is nearly always bad.


''…'' Erika sighs going to head out or likely catch up with Ichigo until someone caught her eye; Ryan who prepares to leave adjusting his tie. She watches him not noticing her and sighs, wanting to at least congratulate him on his deal. She isn't sure why but she should at least tell him that.

Erika sighs again walking up to him and calls him out. ''Hey.''

Ryan blinks and turns to see the black haired hair, her eyes staring at him. He blushes responding happy. ''Oh hi!''

Erika groans a bit assuming his eyes were staring at her chest, like almost all boys before she congrats him. ''You did pretty well in your duel.''

''Thank you! I did do my best!'' Ryan expresses with a small smile, happy he was praised for the duel. Erika nods replying. ''Yes, you did…''

She blushes crossing her arms, feeling unease by how he's staring at her. She tells him right away. ''I should go.''

She turns around to leave but Ryan then calls out to her. ''Um Erika.''

Erika turns and questions. ''What?''

Ryan stares at her and asks with a small smile. ''Can I ask you something?''

Erika groans not sure. Even her ability to see into the future didn't show her what she should do so she follows her gut and nods. Ryan nods smiling a bit as he proceeds to ask her concerning. ''You've been giving me looks and even though we met, I-''

In that moment Erika interrupts already guessing what he wants; a date with the pretty girl. ''I'll stop you there Ryan; I'm not interested in you especially for boys looking at my features.''

''… Features? What are you talking about?'' Ryan questions very oblivious by what she meant. Erika groans thinking he's using that strategy to trick her, telling angrily. ''My looks! My beauty! I know you're thinking like all of them.''

Ryan then startles greatly now getting it.

''O-OH…'' He mutters eyeing her and blushes adding. ''Well you are beautiful but I wasn't referring to that.''

Erika raises her eyebrow to what he meant. Ryan then realizes why she was saying that and questions her. ''Wait, is that why you don't like me much?''

''… Yes and I was right.'' Erika states upsetting that he is into her. Ryan shakes his head and tells her. ''Looks aren't everything. I mean look at me.''

Erika stares firmly as he tries to pose awkwardly cool with his poorly untied tie. She groans at his assumption look and calls him off upset. ''You're rich, a lawyer and you think you're better than everyone!''

''I don't think like that.'' Ryan protests not ever thinking like that. Erika gets madder replying louder. ''Well you do! Your parents must be ashamed of you.''

''…'' Ryan widens his eyes silent almost like his heart is stabbed in the heart. He lowers his head almost broken. Erika notices her mistake and tries to apologize. ''Sorry, I may have-''

Ryan firmly shakes his head, lifting his head rather sadden yet mad. He turns around speaking out in a firm tone. ''My pops died after he was gunned down before I was born, trying to prove a corrupted man of society.''

Erika startles to hear that but it didn't end there as he adds, trembling his right hand. ''And my mum died by a disease when I was just a boy.''

She gasps speechless, not aware of that.

Ryan frowns more sadden before saying. ''I had to give up my childhood to grow up to take up the family business my parents worked their adult lives for.''

''I… I didn't-'' Erika, taken back her own words, tries to explain her mistake but Ryan interrupts her politely. ''No ma'am you didn't because like you said, it's the looks what matters.''

He sighs admitting to her. ''And you have more lovely eyes than body, Miss Aoyama.''

''…'' Erika did not say a word having found herself in a position only Jonouchi and even Ichigo would do; insulting the wrong person by mistake.

''Excuse me.'' Ryan says walking away. Erika is left alone, not wanting to have done that but she did. She hurt his feelings, probably in the worst way possible. She bites her lips, not thinking her disgust on men hitting on her would hurt someone who wasn't trying it.

''Oh my daughter, you kinda screwed up there don't you think?'' The Inner Scorpion eve speaks telepathically in her mind, only further causing Erika to groan on her mistake. She needs to make this up, somehow.


Commercial Break:

Erika: I just hurt someone's feelings and I need to make things right.

Jonouchi breathes heavily: Well… here goes!


The next day arrives as Jonouchi, having been treated with a nice breakfast from his sister Shizuka, prepares his deck one more time before they headed off to the tournament.

Shizuka eyes her brother's face and could tell he's both extremely unease and shaking. She can tell why and encourages him with a wink. "Ready for today Onii-san?''

Jonouchi staggers eyeing her and just smiles seeing her smile. He nods determined, speaking up full of energy. ''Should be!''

She smiles a bit as the two head off to the Kaiba Dome. The trip over there was silent but it felt tensed.

''…'' Shizuka eyes her brother as they arrive to the dome. She sighs a bit before telling him. ''Onii-san, no matter what happens; I know you're a real duelist than well-''

Jonouchi eyes her and smiles nodding, replying. ''I know, thanks sis.''

She smiles nodding. The two caught up to the others as Jonouchi warns the two knuckleheads still after his sister. ''Honda, Otogi, watch Shizuka and NO you know what!''

''R-right!'' The two mutter out, not planning to since Jonouchi needs all the focus on his duel. Jonouchi nods with the other giving them the best of luck, especially Kurosaki telling him to beat the living crap on Kaiba.

Jonouchi runs off inside the dome but not before Honda calls him out yelling. ''Jonouchi!''

The darkened blond headed male blinks and turns back facing him. Honda smirks telling him with a smirk and fist up to him. ''Kick his ass.''

Jonouchi instant smirks and lifts up his own fist up to him. He doesn't plan to lose to him again as he runs off.


Kaiba, already in his private room, has programmed his Deck. He had everything set and honestly he isn't worry; he's up against a loser of the highest caliber. He's nothing compare to Yugi and he will remain as such once more after this duel. If anything, he'll finish Jonouchi in 4 turns.

Once set, Kaiba prepares to leave with Mokuba present with him wishes him luck. ''Good luck Nii-san!''

''I won't need luck, not against him. He'll be a cake walk.'' Seto reminds him not planning to lose or even struggle.

''Yea-yea.'' Mokuba says aware of that but he still wants to wish him luck anyway. Kaiba just scoffs with a small smirk and leaves the room. He walks down the hallway as another voice calls out to him. ''Seto!''

He stops and turns to see Kisara, waving at him with a smile. He sighs asking her kindly as best as he could sound it. ''What do you need?''

Kisara just smiles telling him. ''I'm counting on you to give me a great show.''

Seto did not saying anything until he coughs and responds before walking away. ''I will.''

She giggles watching him leave.


Erika arrives to the dome, looking around to find Ryan. She needed to apologize for her mistake yesterday. Eventually she finds him calling him out. ''Ryan!''

He turns seeing her though he still had the same expression as before. Erika noticed he hasn't slept at all and frowns that this was her fault. She tries to smell greeting him. ''Good morning!''

''… Morning, Miss Aoyama.'' Ryan simply says not speaking in his more cheerful voice. Erika frowns fearing as much asking him. ''Are you still mad?''

Ryan did not reply turning his back as he prepares to leave but then Erika questions him. ''Aren't knights supposed to be polite?''

He groans admitting she's right. Ryan turns around and answers her. ''Chivalry is more than being polite and you're not wrong, but I won't tolerate what you think of me now.''

Erika lowers her eyes a bit, figuring as much. She sighs needed to get him on his good side so she asks him something she wanted to learn since they met. ''Why did you come here for this tournament?''

Ryan did not answer not wishing to tell her. Erika sighs revealing to him. ''I did my research and you were a candidate for Duelist Kingdom.''

She did research last night after their talk and learn he was supposed to be in Dueling Kingdom but he never accepted it, on top of other stuff to confirm if he really is the person he says to be… he is. Ryan eyes her and sighs impressed she went to learn from him. He nods confirming her research. ''I was but I was still studying so I declined the offer.''

''Why?'' Erika still asks on why he would past the chance to duel Pegasus and be considered the best duelist. Ryan just frowns recalling at that time he needed to become a lawyer or else the law firm is done for.

''I had my reasons.'' He simply says not going into details. Erika nods though she asks him another question. ''Then why join this tournament and not others like Battle City. Was it your job?''

Ryan just frowns more that he had to build up the law firm back then so he was unable to join those tournaments until his name is well known. And then well cases got in the way for any fun so he had to do them up till now. He was completely unable to join Battle City V3 due to Kaiba's crazy request.

He lets out a deep sigh eyeing Erika and just answers her why he joined this tournament. ''… I want to duel the duelist that beaten Mr. Pegasus.''

Erika startles to hear his intentions are to duel Yugi, almost like Ichigo's. Ryan frowns, squeezing his hands slightly as he then mutters out. ''I want… I need to experience what I never got before.''

She stares silent as he then said. ''Please excuse me.''

Ryan turns and walks away. Erika watches still silent, frowning that she really screwed up.


Ichigo arrives to the dome, purring eagerly for today. She prepares to head out to the duelist room till a familiar voice calls her out. ''Ichigo dear.''

She blinks turning to see Akumu approach her with a soft smile.

''Uncle Nya!'' Ichigo shouts happily to see him. She hugs him happily before asking him. ''What are you doing here Nya? I thought you had work.''

''Work can wait when I get to see my favorite alone niece dueling of course. In fact I saw your last duel.'' Akumu answers with a small smirk before adding, tickling her nose. ''You were fantastic by the way.''

Ichigo purrs blushing redder, praised by her uncle.

''A little much how Shintaro is posting all day long about your win.'' Akumu comments sweat dropping, pulling out his phone to show the number of posts her father put on. Ichigo sweat drops figuring he would rub the noses of others that his daughter is the best.

''Thank you Nya. I plan to win this round too Nya!'' Ichigo declares still determined to win no matter what. Akumu smiles happy to see her strong-minded and encourages her with a wink. ''I'd expect you to. Enjoy yourself though.''

She purrs nodding and says overjoyed. ''I will Nya! Wish me luck!''

He nods as he watches Ichigo run off. Akumu slowly frowns, happy to see her happy but he will plan to trash this tournament if she loses. Oh he will; no doubt about it. That and gives him a reason to use the cards Arkham gave him. He smirks evilly, hardly waiting to try them out on his victim.

Ichigo arrives to the duelist room and shouts excitedly. ''MORNING!''

She immediately gets a glare at Jonouchi, sitting impatiently. Mai just salutes hello. Ichigo frowns a bit sad that Rebecca, Leon and the other duelists who lost had to leave the room to their special sits in the stands.

Ichigo then notices Erika and just staring at the thin air almost sadden. She worries for her best friend rushing to her side and asks her concern. "Erika-chan, are you okay Nya?''

Erika startles seeing her, not even hearing her before. She nods softly, lying. ''Y-yea…''

Ichigo blinks able to tell that is not a normal reply from her. She notices Ryan isn't here. Maybe…

''Everyone, thank you all for waiting!'' Everyone startles looking from the window to see Pegasus already standing on his stage as he announces to all. ''We shall proceed and commence the second round of the KC Cup and we start with a bang!''

Ichigo gulps just remembering whose dueling first gazing back at Jonouchi.

Kaiba then appears the stage as did his Blue-Eyes theme Bingo Machine, announcing firmly. ''But first we must place the duelist who skipped the first round to a duelist he will duel if he even wishes to join the rest of the tournament. We will decide by having each duelist have 3 slot chances of dueling said duelist. AND if anyone asks, yes, the same will be applied for when Yugi joins the third round.''

Ichigo blushes hoping that she will be that duelist. Kaiba, however, never mention he place 9 slots on himself. There's something off about the last duelist who said he's really Diederick Baumeister. He can't buy that he was accepted to advanced that his shown duels were in Germany and he was offered to do an Exhibition Duel with Pegasus but refused… without saying a word. He can't buy him especially with the worry that he could be that Dark Lord or a lackey of his.

''Start the machine.'' Kaiba orders Mokuba from his communicator collar with Mokuba, behind the machine to observe it runs properly with no glitches. He starts it up as the balls all shoot all inside it, going to pick the duelist that the 16th will go up against.

Everyone watches especially the hooded Diederick as he raises an eye up at the machine and it glows. In that moment Mokuba catches up with the glitch from before and tries to operate around it but it was fast as a ball immediately shouts out from a man middle dragon's head. Pegasus goes to pick up the ball and reveals it to have Ichigo's name.

Kaiba growls at this about to protest but Pegasus announces to all. ''It seems Diederick-boy will go up against Ichigo-chan! How exciting is that?!''

Ichigo blinks surprised to be dueling that guy and smiles hoping for another fun duel. Leon watches from his chair and has this face rather unease. Kaiba groans more not having a choice but to see how that will play out.

Pegasus raises his left hand up to the large screen as he announces. "The first duel is between my partner host and a top ranked duelist with great potential!''

The screen lights up and shows the faces of Jonouchi and Kaiba, both dueling each other.

''Who shall win between Seto Kaiba-boy and Katsuya Jonouchi-boy?!'' Pegasus asks all watching almost chuckling amuse at this cruel fate. Those two he knows too well and how they think but he knows the kind of overwhelming duel this will bring forth. He then declares pointing at all. ''It will be you to decide who shall win!''

Jonouchi gets up from his chair and eyes the others, nodding and heads out.

''Jonouchi!'' He blinks turning to face Ichigo who lifts up her hand thumb up and tells him purring. ''Beat up Kaiba-Baka!''

Jonouchi smirks planning to, proclaiming. ''You know it!''

She nods as Jonouchi heads out. Mai, hesitating, wants to say something but didn't as that would only distract him. Instead she needs to trust he'll be lucky and win… and that's saying much.

The second round of the KC Cup commences! Will Jonouchi be able to overcome Kaiba or will he fall like he's always have?

To be continued

Next Time…

The KC Cup Finals' Second Round starts with Jonouchi and Kaiba crossing paths again. Having grown more and now able to finally duel his greatest wall on his own, will Jonouchi crush through that wall or will Kaiba's overwhelming power be too much for him again?

Alicia: Jonouchi never once had beaten Kaiba right?

Honda: NOPE. Not in Duelist Kingdom, not in Battle City. The last time he sort of won but he had Ichigo as a partner.

Ed: So Jonouchi is alone this time? Wonderful…

Judai: A true duelist speaks with their deck-

Naruto: But Kaiba beat you.

Judai: Yep and I'll trust my gut that Jonouchi beats him instead!

Shizuka prays: Onii-san…

Otogi: I'm sure Jonouchi trusts his cards to turn the duel in his favor… though let us hope that is enough.

Bakura nods: Indeed. Next time in Yu-Gi-Oh! Dragon Knight Reborn: The Challenges of Pro Duelists! Jonouchi VS Kaiba! Duel Standby.

Ichigo: Please remember to read, enjoy and review Nya. See you all next time… KICK IS BUTT JONOUCHI-BAKA!
