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 62: Dragons of Potential and Power! The Explosive Conclusion!

In the previous episode of DKR:

The duel between Jonouchi and Kaiba resumed as it was a mostly back and forth till Kaiba brought out Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon. However, Jonouchi had a trump card called Gilti-Gearfried the Magical Steel Knight. With it and Blue Flame Swordsman's effect, Jonouchi was almost able to beat Kaiba if not for Cyber Jar, destroying his best chances.

The duel continued with Jonouchi almost winning again with Time Magic Hammer and Jinzo but Kaiba countered it and proceed to summon not just two Blue-Eyes dragons but Destruction Dragon. With Kaiba's next order, his white dragon launched a devastating attack upon Jonouchi's Flame Swordsman.

Has the duel ended or is the true climax reaching?

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

The crowd watches as Kaiba's attack with his Blue-Eyes White Dragon has struck Flame Swordsman and likely beaten Jonouchi too. Everyone assumed it was over except the small few.

"Onii-san… please you didn't…'' Shizaku mutters worrying for her brother. Mai felt the same refusing to let Jonouchi lose after coming this far.

''Kaiba better not win! Not after all the work he did to get that far last time.'' Honda shouts furious, also not wanting his best friend to lose. Ichigo watches quiet, not wanting Jonouchi to lose either.

Just then the smoke clears up and Judai points out smirking. ''Oh hey look.''

They blink looking forward and stagger to see the Duel Field.

''No way!'' Mokuba utters out not believing it. Ichigo slowly makes a smile with Mai making a rather soft pleasing face to see Jonouchi, smirking, still standing though Flame Swordsman was indeed gone.

Jonouchi's Life Points: 800

Field: Alligator's Sword, Rocket Warrior, 2 Set Spell/Trap cards

Hand: 3

Kaiba's Life Points: 3200

Field: Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Destruction Dragon, Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon

Hand: 3

Kaiba makes a questionable annoyed expression, not understanding how this idiot's Life Points haven't drop to 0.

''Not beaten yet Kaiba.'' Jonouchi declares pointing at one of his two Set cards as said card flips over. Kaiba watches and then widens his eyes at the card being flipped is the trap, Nutrient Z.

''Nutrient Z again Nya!'' Ichigo expresses amazingly. Mai oddly giggles at this, finding Jonouchi's luck probably otherworldly when it works out.

''Damn you…'' Kaiba curses out softly, also not expecting he would get that card again to save him from defeat again. Jonouchi just smirks, gaining 4800LP from his Trap before he took the 1200 of damage from the battle, leaving him with 3600LP left.

Kaiba groans left with little options but to get rid with the rest of his monsters.

''Alternative White Dragon, attack-'' Kaiba begins to order but Jonouchi reacts fast triggering his other set card. ''No so fast Kaiba! I activate the trap, Double Magical Arm Bind!''

Two large extending arms appear as both Rocket Warrior and Alligator's Sword vanishes.

''By releasing 2 monsters, I can take control of 2 monsters you control but they can't change from their Battle Positions. I release Alligator's Sword and Rocket Warrior to take control both Destruction Dragon and Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon!'' Jonouchi explains his trap's effect but Kaiba isn't going to give the idiot any Blue-Eyes as he reacts playing his own card. ''I activate the Quick-Play Spell, Interdimensional Matter Transporter!''

A large laser-like weapon device materializes on his field.

''I banish Alternative White Dragon until the End Phase.'' Kaiba explains as his device fires a beam and teleports Blue-Eyes out of the field.

''I still take your other dragon then.'' Jonouchi still says as one of the hands grabs and pulls Destructive Dragon to his field. Kaiba glares moving into his Main Phase 2 and proclaims tapping on a card on his hand screen. ''I set 1 card facedown. Turn end.''

A face-down Spell/Trap card materializes on his field as his turn ends. In that moment Alternative White Dragon reappears back to the field.

Duel Screen: Turn 13_ Jonouchi: 3600LP H: 3 / Kaiba: 3200LP H: 1

''My turn!'' Jonouchi shouts drawing his top card and oddly smirks.

Number of Turns since Time Magic Hammer's effect: 2

''I activate your Destruction Dragon's effect!'' Jonouchi declares using Kaiba's dragon against him. The Blue-Eyes duelist just stares firmly as the darkened blond headed chuckles and commands. ''Say goodbye to your Blue-Eyes!''

Destruction Dragon roars charging up a powerful fiery blast. Kaiba scoffs, not going to allow this become his defeat and discards the last card in his hand as he activates his set card. ''By discarding a card, I activate my set card, Card Guard!''

A large guard-like shield appears and blocks Destruction Dragon's blast.

''Until the End Phase, my monsters cannot be destroyed!'' Kaiba explains with a smug smirk protecting his dragons. Jonouchi growls but not defeated as he plays his ace card he drew. ''Then I activate once more Red-Eyes Fusion!''

His fiery dark fusion forms swirling. Jonouchi then announces sending his two monsters from his Deck. ''I fuse both Red-Eyes Black Dragon and Red-Eyes Gearfried!''

Both monsters appear and merge together within the swirls of flames.

''With your passionate new body, slash through everything and leave everything in flames with the soul of a warrior!'' Jonouchi chants as the two monsters merge and flames erupt all over their fused body.

''Fusion Summon! The Black Dragon that with burning slashes, Red-Eyes Slash Dragon!'' Jonouchi summons forth as the flames explodes, revealing the new monster it gave birth to.

It was a brand new Red-Eyes Black Dragon with a metal-like body armor that resembles Gearfried the Red-Eyes Iron Knight's with sharper scales on its back. The wings were slightly larger with membranes that more metal than organic. The dragon had a pair of large, arm blades on its outer sides in additional to a blade as the tip of the tail. The dragon's eyes glow even redder as it lets a destructive roar.

Red-Eyes Slash Dragon Lvl 7 ATK: 2800 DEF: 2400

Kaiba glares apathetic as Jonouchi then shouts playing another card. ''I equip Red-Eyes with the Equip Spell, Burning Soul Sword!''

A fiery sword forms as Red-Eyes grabs on it with its right claw.

''I used my Equip Spell's effect, releasing Destruction Dragon so my dragon gains its ATK.'' Jonouchi explains as Destruction Dragon is consumed by the flames of the fire sword. Slash Dragon roars, shooting up in ATK into 4800. He then commands extending his fist forward. ''Battle! Red-Eyes Slash Dragon, attack the original Blue-Eyes!''

Red-Eyes roar extending its wings and flies right at Blue-Eyes.

''Dark Mega Slash!'' Jonouchi shouts as his black dragon engulfs dark red-black flames from its bladed tail and twirls, swinging the tail at the white dragon. He then adds using his dragon's effect. ''Next Red-Eyes' effect equips a Warrior Monster from my Graveyard and it gains 200 ATK boost!''

Red-Eyes shoot up to 5000ATK. Kaiba didn't bother activating his set trap, the Ultimate Creature of Destruction, just yet since Card Guard will still protect his dragons.

The burning slash attack resumes, cutting Blue-Eyes but not destroying it. Kaiba braces himself, groaning in pain for once. He takes 2000 of damage, leaving him with only 1200LP.

Jonouchi sighs of some relief getting some damage but it's still too early to relax.

''I set 1 card facedown.'' He declares setting a card behind his dragon and calls it. ''Turn end.''

Duel Screen: Turn 14_ Jonouchi: 3600LP H: 1 / Kaiba: 1200LP H: 0

The tables have turned to everyone's surprise.

''Nii-san…'' Mokuba mutters concern that his brother might be in a bind.

''Seto…'' Kisara mutters too, hoping he turns the table soon.

Kaiba brushes off the damage he took. He won't accept another lost.

''My turn! DRAW!'' He declares drawing his top card.

Number of Turns since Time Magic Hammer's effect: 3

Kaiba eyes the card he drew and proceeds. ''I activate Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon's effect, destroying your pathetic dragon! Burn Stream of Destruction!''

Blue-Eyes roar unleashing a destructive, blue fiery fireball upon Red-Eyes. Jonouchi isn't going to fall for it countering. ''I send Burning Soul Sword equip to Slash Dragon to activate Slash Dragon's effect, negating your dragon's effect targeting it and destroying it.''

Slash Dragon blocks the fireball with Burning Soul Sword and then slashes it with its wrist blades, engulf in flames. The attack disables Alternative White Dragon's effect but it loses the sword. Ichigo startles though that Slash Dragon's 5000 ATK still kept. That means Burning Soul Sword's effect doesn't connect directly to the monster even if the card leaves the field, keeping its effect into said monster.

''…'' Kaiba stares silently at first but snarls a smirk, proclaiming. ''I'm somewhat impressed but this means little to someone like I.''

Jonouchi glares not buying it but Kaiba intends to show him activating the card he drew. ''I activate the spell, Card of Demise! I draw 5 cards!''

The darkened blond head startles greatly as Kaiba draws his 5 cards. He smirks and immediately plays one of said cards. ''Next I activate the spell, Dragon's Mirror! By banishing monsters on my field or Graveyard, I can perform a Fusion Summon! I fuse both original Blue-Eyes and Alternative White Dragons together!''

Everyone watch as another Blue-Eyes White Dragon emerges on the field and it along with the other and Alternative fly up to the sky.

"Feast your eyes on the most powerful of all dragons, in its fully evolved glory!'' Kaiba chants proudly raising his hand as his dragons roar soaring towards the sky and melding together in even greater radiant light.

''FUSION SUMMON! Show yourself! Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!'' Kaiba calls forth descending from the sky is the evolved three-headed ultimate dragon. The monster heavily resembles Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon except its body had the same lightning scales much like Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon with its body was more machine-like, no arms, larger wings with blue orbs attached on each inner portion and a trident-like tail. The new three-headed dragon roars releasing massive shockwaves of electricity across the field. The three heads let out a massive roar in unity.

Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon Lvl 12 ATK: 4500 DEF: 3800

''Neo Blue-Eyes…'' Ichigo mutters trembling a bit, knowing full well this thing is a beast of destruction. Jonouchi is very much aware of it as this thing destroyed Yami Bakura before but his Red-Eyes is stronger than-

Kaiba moves his hand to show him his Graveyard screen and taps on the card he discarded before, proclaiming. ''I banish Deep of Blue-Eyes to increase the ATK of all Level 8 or higher Dragon monsters I control by 1000!''

Now Jonouchi panics as Neo Blue-Eyes roar, shooting up to 5500ATK.

''Battle! Neo Blue-Eyes, destroy that weak dragon and vaporize it!'' Kaiba orders as his dragon, twirling around rapidly, lifts ad aims with its three heads with each head charging swirls of energy between their mouths Jonouchi gulps preparing himself as Kaiba then shouts loudly. ''HYPER ULTIMATE BURST!''

The three-headed Blue-Eyes unleash their three-way mouth blast, combining them towards Red-Eyes Slash Dragon.

''Reverse trap open, Skull Dice!'' Gritting his teeth, Jonouchi shouts triggering his set card as a devilish fairy appears with a die. ''By the roll of the die, I will divide the ATK of your dragon!''

The fairy tosses its black die up and it descends, rolling but Kaiba was more than prepared, triggering his own counter. ''It won't work! Reverse Trap open, The Ultimate Creature of Destruction!''

Neo Blue-Eyes roars engulfed in a stream of electrical aura. The die falls and lands on 2. This would divide its ATK x2 but the three-headed dragon is protected by its aura, nullifying the die's power.

''With this my dragon is unaffected by other card effects except its own, my monster cannot be destroyed by battles but yours will! Hahaha!'' Kaiba proclaims with a sinister laugh. Jonouchi sweat drops heavily by this.

Red-Eyes respond firing a fiery fireball, striking Neo Blue-Eyes as its attack engulfs the black dragon and sadly destroys it. Jonouchi is left wide open until the darkened colored blond headed though he declares. ''Since Red-Eyes Slash Dragon was destroyed, I can use its effect to Special Summon the monsters equipped to it.''

Ichigo smiles meaning he can still stall with likely the best monster for the job.

''Slash through your all, Red-Eyes Gearfried!'' Jonouchi calls forth, summoning his heavy armored dark, red lining armored Gearfried. It appears kneeling in Defense Position. Honda sighs he summoned a monster to defend himself.

Red-Eyes Gearfried Lvl 7 ATK: 2600 DEF: 2200

''When Gearfried is summoned, I can equip him with an Equip Spell from my Deck to it.'' Jonouchi announces picking a card from his Deck and plays it. ''I equip Red-Eyes Gearfried with the Equip Spell, Vortex Blade!''

A tornado-like sword weapon appears from the wind as Gearfried grabs on it, granting swirls of wind surrounding him.

''Gearfried's ATK is doubled!'' Jonouchi explains though he placed it in Defense Position in case Kaiba has another card like Shrink in case.

''It changes nothing! By sending a Blue-Eyes monster from my Extra Deck, Neo Blue-Eyes can attack again!'' Kaiba, however, declares sending another copy of Neo Blue-Eyes away to grant his dragon a second attack. He then orders raising his hand forward. ''Attack his monster! Hyper Ultimate Burst!''

Everyone watches panicking as the three-headed dragon fires another unity three-way blast, consuming the dark armored Gearfried. Jonouchi braces with his arms as he reveals. ''By destroying Vortex Blade instead, Red-Eyes Gearfried is not destroyed!''

Gearfried tosses his sword and it explodes, releasing a powerful tornado surrounding himself from destruction. Kaiba scoffs irritated as he exclaims. ''I send another Neo Blue-Eyes from my Extra Deck to let my current Neo Blue-Eyes to attack a third and final time!''

He sends his last copy of Neo Blue-Eyes and shouts as his dragon charges up its attack. ''Hyper Ultimate Burst!''

Jonouchi watches as Neo Blue-Eyes' final attack vaporizes Red-Eyes Gearfried, now leaving him with no monsters.

Kaiba snarls not believing this idiot survived this long but he won't tolerate it any longer. He tabs on 3 cards on his hand screen simultaneously and announces. ''I set 3 cards facedown! Turn end.''

Shizaku sighs with some relief but she's still worry as her brother doesn't have much left.

Duel Screen: Turn 15_ Jonouchi: 3600LP H: 1 / Kaiba: 1200LP H: 1

Kaiba lets out a laugh to Jonouchi's annoyance, proclaiming his victory. ''HAHAHA! It's over, Jonouchi! You have no hope in defeating my Neo Blue-Eyes!''

''I should be the one telling you that, Kaiba!'' Jonouchi barks back refusing to give up as he draws his top card.

Number of Turns since Time Magic Hammer's effect: 4

With two Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragons in his Graveyard, Kaiba can negate any card that targets his Blue-Eyes monster and destroy it. Mai knows this and Jonouchi has to play this right or else.

Jonouchi eyes his options and he has something if he can draw it.

''I activate the spell, Cards of the Red Stone.'' Jonouchi proceeds playing the card he drew. ''I discard the Level 7 Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon and then I draw 2 cards!''

He discards his higher level dragon to draw 2 more cards. He eyes them and startles a bit, getting something good. He then adds pulling out his Deck. ''Then I can send another Level 7 Red-Eyes monster from my Deck to my Graveyard and I choose Red-Eyes Alternative Black Dragon!''

He sends said dragon from his Deck to the Graveyard. Kaiba scoffs, not even caring as he doesn't have a hand that can best him.

''Next I activate the spell, Reunited Alliance!'' Jonouchi declares playing a new card. It shows the image of different type of monsters (Garoozis, Leogun and Ansatsu) gathering together against a massive army of Zombies and Fiends. He then explains his cards effect. ''I can return 3 monsters with different types, placing them in the bottom of my Deck and then I can draw 3 cards but I can only summon 1 Type of monster this turn.''

He returns Rocket Warrior, Alligator's Sword and Jinzo back to his Deck and draws 3 cards. He eyes his cards and smirks though Kaiba states. ''Due to your spell, I can draw 1 card too.''

The darkened blond headed groans and nods. Kaiba scoffs drawing his top card. He eyes it and only stares firmly impressed.

Jonouchi then plays another spell from his hand. ''Next I use the spell, Red-Eyes Insight! I send a Red-Eyes monster from my Deck to add a Spell or Trap Red-Eyes card. I send Red-Eyes Wyvern!''

He sends another Red-Eyes monster to add another card into his hand.

Kaiba scoffs really underwhelmed by how much he's stalling and questions his play. ''Is that really all you can do?''

''I'm about to take this duel in my favor! I activate the spell, Copycat!'' Jonouchi, about to give him his piece of mind, proclaims activating the spell of his victory.

A magical cat mirror face creature appears with Jonouchi explaining. ''This lets me copy a spell or trap in your Graveyard and treat its effect as its own!''

The mirror of the cat creature shows an image of a card with Jonouchi revealing it. ''I choose the spell, Dragon's Mirror!''

Said card reveals Kaiba's Fusion spell to Kaiba's annoyance.

''I banish and fuse both Red-Eyes Black Dragon and Red-Eyes Gearfried together!'' Jonouchi announces as his two monsters appear and merge together, sucked up inside the Fusion portal-like mirror. Kaiba grunts glaring.

''Passion and Courage, mix together with the flames of black dragon! Let its power become infinite with the glow of your raging red eyes! Become the burning symbol of my heart!'' Jonouchi chants as the portal releases massive red lightning across the sudden black sky. And then it exploded into a powerful fire shockwave. Kaiba braces this with a gaze.

''FUSION SUMMON!'' Jonouchi shouts as a large Dragonic-like figure descends over the sky. ''Descend the Passionate Black Dragon, Red-Eyes Black Sword-Blasting Dragon!"

Soon appears the ultimate Red-Eyes monster, It possess the scales of that of Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon except its dark colors were lighter. Its wings were bigger and sharper as its tail was now like sharp, zig-zag sword. Its mouth gained two large black skin-like bones on both side of its jaw, similar to Black Skull Dragon. Its claws were sharp as they glow red similar to Meteor Black Dragon. The dragon roars as its wings glow bright red as well with its eyes glowing even redder.

Red-Eyes Black Sword-Blasting Dragon Lvl 11 ATK: 3000 DEF: 2800

''Yes Nya!'' Ichigo shouts amazingly he actually summoned his dragon. Jonouchi, smiling proud, declares excitedly. ''Sword-Blasting Dragon gains 400 ATK for each Red-Eyes monster or monsters with Red-Eyes in their card text in my Graveyard.''

The fiery spirits of Gearfried the Red-Eyes Iron Knight, Red-Eyes Darkness Metal Dragon, Red-Eyes Black Flare Dragon, Red-Eyes Alternative Black Dragon, Black Metal Dragon, Red-Eyes Archfiend of Lightning, Red-Eyes Slash Dragon and Red-Eyes Wyvern surround Sword Blasting Dragon, raising its ATK to 6400. Kaiba stares silently with his Blue-Eyes at 5500 ATK.

Everyone else tenses up as Ichigo knew Jonouchi's dragon can attack twice so if his attack lands, he wins.

''Battle! Red-Eyes Black Sword-Blasting Dragon, take down Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!'' Jonouchi commands passionate as Red-Eyes roars and gathers swirls of flames between its fangs, creating a fiery fireball of chaotic energy. Kaiba watches coldly with Jonouchi commanding. ''Dark Mega Raging Flare!''

Red-Eyes unleash its destructive mouth blast, expanding and explode its flames upon Neo Blue-Eyes. Kaiba stares at the attack before closing his eyes calmly.

Will this attack determine the entire duel?


Commercial Break:

Jonouchi: Kaiba, this is where our duel ends once and for all!

Kaiba: I'll never accept losing to a loser like you, ever.


Everyone watches as Red-Eyes' intense attack burns and destroys Neo Blue-Eyes. Kaiba just stands his ground, taking the 900 of damage as his Life Points drop to 300.

Shizaku smiles brightly while Kisara worries greatly.

''One more attack and Kaiba-Baka is finished Nya!'' Ichigo expresses purring. Mai agrees… though…

Jonouchi just smiles getting the hit he wanted while Kaiba, remaining calm, simply opens his eyes and one of his set cards opens up.

''Reverse trap open.'' Kaiba begins to announce as his card fully opens. ''Wish of Final Effort.''

Swirls of white energy surround Kaiba as he explains. ''When a monster I control is destroyed, I gain Life Points equal to that monster's ATK.''

Due to the extra 1000 from Deep of Blue-Eyes, Kaiba's Life Points shoots up to 5800LP.

''That doesn't change-'' Jonouchi begins to protest as he can still beat Kaiba this turn but his opponent was already prepared interrupting, holding up a holographic card in his hand. ''And I chain it with this card when a Blue-Eyes monster I control was destroyed.''

Ichigo panics heavily, having a good clue what he's about to summon. Kaiba then begins to chant as a tear through space opens up above him. "Infinite time, Oh white strength hidden within its origin, spread your wings in the echo of intersecting souls, and come forth from the blue abyss! Come forth, Deep-Eyes White Dragon!"

Emerging from the portal was huge and naturally another dragon. The celestial monster resembles Blue-Eyes Shining Dragon in brightness but with a thinner body, the same design as the new Blue-Eyes monsters with unique scales and orbs, light blue crystal-like claws, a large holy-like ring behind its back with 5 glorious angelic dragon wings.

Deep-Eyes White Dragon Lvl 10 ATK: ? DEF: ?

Ichigo sweats panicking as this was what she feared.

''Deep-Eyes, upon being summoned, will inflict 600 of damage to you for each Dragon monster with different names in my Graveyard.'' Kaiba proclaims as the spirit of his multiple different Dragons appear behind Deep-Eyes before converted into energy. The space dragon roars as it spreads its majestic wings and starts glowing. Kaiba smirks as he announces arrogant. ''You lasted more than enough. Now perish!''

Deep-Eyes prepare to unleash its supernova-like solar attack but Jonouchi had a plan, reacting and playing a card from his hand. ''Not going to happen! I activate the Quick-Play Spell, Spirit Drain!''

A ghostly hand instantly appears and grabs on the white dragon. Kaiba widens his eyes furious.

''Yes Nya! He negated Deep-Eyes' effect.'' Ichigo expresses purring as Kaiba's best card to winning is negated and adds the other obvious about this play. ''And best of all its ATK to gain ATK equal to a Dragon in Kaiba's Graveyard is impossible, leaving Deep-Eyes with 0ATK.''

Jonouchi also draws an extra card thanks to his card's effect. Kaiba glares cursing quietly. ''Damn you…''

Honda smirks as this duel is really over. Jonouchi just rub his bottom end of his nose like a cool guy before ordering. ''It's over Kaiba! Attack Deep-Eyes! Dark Mega Raging Slash!''

Red-Eyes roar diving forward at the weakened Deep-Eyes, twirling around like a tornado while somersault its bladed tail forward and twirls rapidly. The tail engulfs in dark flames, swirling and spiraling rapidly like a twister now.

Everyone watch as this might be it but Kaiba, snapping at this idiot's attempt to win, refuses to admit defeat and shouts. ''LIKE HELL! Reverse Trap open, Magical Trick Mirror!''

His other set card flips over as the puppet toy figure appears with a mirror.

''When you declare an attack, my trap targets a Spell Card in your Graveyard and activates its effect as its own!'' Kaiba explains his card's effect as the mirror of his monster trap reflects Copycat. ''I choose Copycat!''

Ichigo blinks confused with Mai questioning. ''Why would he pick that card?''

Jonouchi is also puzzle too with Kaiba revealing. ''I now use your Copycat to copy the effects of a Spell or Trap from your Graveyard as its effect and that card will be your Skull Dice!''

Now the reflection of the Copycat becomes Skull Dice.

''You're gambling now?! Why?'' Jonouchi asks very off by his decision. Kaiba just scoffs and declares with widen eyes. ''Just watch and see.''

The die from Skull Dice comes out from the mirror and rolls it. Everyone watch as the die rolls and slowly stops, landing on 4. Jonouchi widens his eyes with Ichigo gasping in shock. ''It landed on 4 Nya!''

''HAHAHA! It seems the Goddess of Victory smiles upon me more!'' Kaiba, laughing, declares finding his luck even better than the luck base idiot of an opponent. Jonouchi growls not believing this with Kaiba reminding him cocky. ''Now your dragon's ATK is divided by 4.''

Sword-Blasting Dragon's ATK drops to 1600 as it slashes through Deep-Eyes with its flame tail slash, destroying it. Kaiba didn't brace much as he only loses 1600LP of damage. However he does smirk proclaiming. ''Deep-Eyes, upon its destruction, will destroy all monsters you control.''

Deep-Eyes' roar is heard as a cosmic-like vortex materializes upon its destruction, sucking everything up.

''Deep Voyage!'' Kaiba declares as Red-Eyes is unable to escape the suction of the vortex and is swallowed inside. The vortex soon closes up shut, destroying everything suck in it.

''…'' Everyone is left silent as both duelists had barely any cards left and their best cards gone.

Jonouchi eyes his last 3 cards and he has probably a way to win as long as he can survive next turn.

''I set 2 cards facedown and a monster facedown.'' He declares setting a set monster on top of two set Spell/Trap cards. He then says sighing a bit. ''I end my turn.''

Duel Screen: Turn 16_ Jonouchi: 3600LP H: 0 / Kaiba: 4200LP H: 1

''…'' Kaiba does not say a word drawing his top card.

Number of Turns since Time Magic Hammer's effect: 5

Number of Turns since Card of Demise's effect: 1

Both duelists eye the other firmly with Kaiba ultimately speaking up with more determination than before. ''I'll admit you escape from me more than once but this duel has already been decided in my victory!''

Jonouchi just growls as he's going to protest that but Kaiba interrupts playing the card he drew. ''First I activate the spell, Pot of Greed. I draw 2 cards!''

He draw his two cards and oddly his eyes spark a bit, gazing back at his opponent and shouts triggering his last set card. ''Reverse card open, Return from the Different Dimension!''

His trap flips over as a portal rips open above them.

''By paying half of my Life Points, we both Special Summon as many banished monsters to the field.'' Kaiba announces as his Life Points drop to 2100 but all of his dragons that were banished return back to the field.

Blue-Eyes White Dragon x3 Lvl 8 ATK: 3000 DEF: 2500

Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon Lvl 8 ATK: 3000 DEF: 2500

Deep of Blue-Eyes Lvl 8 ATK: 2500 DEF: 2500

''I can too!'' Jonouchi, however, protests bringing back his monsters that he banished previously in Defense Position.

Red-Eyes Black Dragon Lvl 7 ATK 2400 DEF: 2000

Red-Eyes Gearfried Lvl 7 ATK: 2600 DEF: 2200

''Deep of Blue-Eyes, upon being Special Summoned while there is the original Blue-Eyes on my field or Graveyard, lets me add a Ritual Spell or Polymeriztion from my Deck to my hand.''

''Gearfried's effect also now equips Swords of Dragon's Soul, increasing his ATK to 700.'' Jonouchi announces equipping his warrior with the dragon destroyer sword. Kaiba snarls proclaiming. ''I activate Alternative White Dragon's effect, destroying your Gearfried!''

Alternative White Dragon unleashes its fireball blast, destroying Red-Eyes Gearfried. Kaiba wasn't done as he announces using the card he added. ''I activate Polyermization! I fuse Alternative White and 2 of my original Blue-Eyes dragons!''

All 3 dragons begin to merge within a suddenly appearing Fusion portal.

''Bow before the ultimate dragon's perfect evolution! Let its incredible power vaporized all those before me!'' Kaiba chants as the 3 dragons became one as he calls forth. "FUSION SUMMON! Descend, Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon!"

Appearing over the prideful duelist is his evolved Ultimate Dragon, letting out a massive roar from all 3 heads.

Blue-Eyes Alternative Ultimate Dragon Lvl 12 ATK: 4500 DEF: 3800

''I activate Alternative's effect, targeting and destroying a card on your field but if I use Blue-Eyes Alternative White Dragon as Fusion Material, I can destroy 3 cards instead!'' Kaiba orders as his dragon's heads all charge up their energy blast from their mouths. ''Ultimate Burn Burst!''

The three-headed dragon releases their destructive blast, destroying all 2 of Jonouchi's monsters including the set Gardna of Landstar and one of his set cards- but...

Emerging from the dust is Jonouchi with now a revived Red-Eyes Black Sword-Blasting Dragon. This shocked Kaiba.

Red-Eyes Black Sword-Blasting Dragon Lvl 11 ATK: 3000 DEF: 2800

Jonouchi smirks sweating, thinking he was toast if he picked the other card but good thing he was a step

''I chained and activated my set trap, Red-Eyes Spirit. With it, I can bring back my buddy, stronger than before!''

Kaiba glares annoyed seeing Sword-Blasting's ATK went up to 7200.

''Nice one Nya!'' Ichigo expresses joyfully. Mai smiles as Jonouchi might have this. Kaiba might be out of plays and Jonouchi can attack twice with his larger dragon. He might actually have this one.

''…'' Kaiba remains silent with Jonouchi gloating over his likely win. ''Guess you're done for, Kaiba.''

''... Clever...'' Kaiba just expresses to Jonouchi's confusion. That was till Kaiba with a firm, cold expression declares serious. ''But feeble nonetheless. I release my 3 dragons!''

All 3 Blue-Eyes dragon vanishes while Kaiba holds up a holographic card in his hand. Blue lightning begins striking down around Kaiba as the ground trembles massively.

''I summon forth the ancient demon that torments those foolish to clash power with greater power! Appear now, the blue demon of destruction! Blue Demon the Torment Dragon! HAHAHAHA!'' Seto shouts, chanting and laughing, as a large burst of blue light shot out behind him. Soon materialize from the ground a blue, demonic-like muscle dragon with large wings, horns and sharp claws, floating beside Kaiba on his side. Each wrist arm had a golden ring on. It was huge as it had a simple long wispy tail with no legs and having the same golden ring attached on the near end of the tail. His teeth were sharp as his red eyes pierce down at its preys.

Blue Demon the Torment Dragon Lvl 12 ATK: 5000 DEF: 4500

Jonouchi sweats heavily with Ichigo muttering upset. ''Ah come on…''

Kaiba then declares tapping on 3 Monster Cards in his Graveyard screen. ''I banish 3 monsters to activate Blue Demon's effect, negating your monster effects and halving their ATK!''

Blue Demon roars as both its massive claw fists erupt massive burst of electricity and flames.

''Torment Destruction Wave!'' Kaiba shouts as his dragon claps both hands together, releasing the combine electric fire wave towards the enemy. Jonouchi braces while his Red-Eyes roar in pain, losing its effect as its ATK drops to 1500.

''Battle! Blue Demon, destroy that black dragon and show him your power!'' Kaiba orders as his dragon extends back both fists, engulfing them in burst of energy. Kaiba then shouts commanding. ''Torment Destruction Fist!

Blue Demon roars madly thrusting forward its fists and releasing a tidal wave of energy through them, blasting and piercing through Red-Eyes. The dragon roars in pain before exploding.

''GAAAHH!'' Jonouchi yells bracing him barely, taking 3500 of damage and leaving him with a mere 100LP left but it's not enough against Blue Demon. Jonouchi groans weakly, not sure if he'll survive any longer but...

''It's over for you now, third rate.'' Kaiba declares sealing this duel in his victory. Everyone braces in complete shock by the turnaround.

''Onii-san…'' Shizaku utters, shaking to her core. Honda gulps enraged, not wanting Kaiba to win.

''Jonouchi…'' Mai mutters concern. Ichigo bites her lips, not wanting him to lose either.

Jonouchi, panting, pulls himself up. Squeezing his hands tightly, he won't give up.

''Not yet…'' He mutters out, refusing to give in declaring proudly. ''If I'm going to lose, then we'll both lose!''

Kaiba raises an eyebrow not following till Jonouchi shouts triggering his last set card. ''I activate the Trap, Red-Eyes Burn!''

His trap flips over and it is immediately wrapped around in swirls of flames. Kaiba stares with a firm gaze and Jonouchi explains smiling his card's effect. ''If a Red-Eyes monster is destroyed, both players take damage equal to that monster's original ATK!''

Everyone startles with Bakura doing the math already. ''Sword-Blasting is 3000 ATK so we both take 3000 of damages!''

The trap engulfs and explodes in a widespread of flames, consuming both Jonouchi and Kaiba. Everyone yell brace from the fiery explosion, feeling the intense flames as if they were real. Mokuba watches worrying.

''T-that was extreme…'' Ed mutters taken back by the explosion. Shizaku gulps hoping her brother is okay.

''So Jonouchi and Kaiba lose?'' Alicia asks puzzled still curious if this is a Draw. Kisara frowns watching concern.

Soon the smoke clears up revealing Jonouchi first, smirking.

''How's losing for once, Kaiba?!'' The darkened colored blond headed calls out smirking. He expects no reply… but he did get one from Kaiba himself. ''I don't know, you tell me.''

Jonouchi startles taken back as the smoke starts blowing. Everyone else watches taken back as the swirls of smoke blown away reveal the large infinity-like whirlwind shield, protecting Kaiba from Red-Eyes Burn's destructive explosion. Mokuba lets out a loud sigh of relief with Kisara smiling.

''Infinity of Defense; I take no damage.'' Kaiba, his arms crossed, reveals drawing the very same spell that protected him from Meteor Black Comet Dragon's effect. Jonouchi just drops his jaw just speechless and angry most of all.

''In other words…'' Ichigo mutters with a sadden expression with Mai, curling her lips upset, adds just as sad. ''Jonouchi lost…''

Indeed Jonouchi was the only one to take the damage of his trap thus his Life Points hit to 0.

Duel Screen: Winner… Katsuya Jonouchi: 0LP vs. Seto Kaiba: 2100LP

Jonouchi groans upset as the field vanishes along with the monsters. Everyone immediately explodes in cheers minus our group.

"Jonouchi…'' Ichigo mutters sadden, almost feeling his frustration. She knows how much Jonouchi wants to prove he will become a pro duelist but also how much he wants to beat Kaiba. He was close but not yet enough.

Jonouchi stands silent as Kaiba, scoffing, starts walking and passes him before stopping right behind his back.

''I'll give you this.'' Kaiba begins to say, muttering to only Jonouchi before resuming in walking away. "At least you took the pleasure of me destroying you with my own hands.''

"… Next time.'' Kaiba then stops as Jonouchi, shaking his right fist, lifts up his head to him and calls him out. ''Next time I'm beating you!''

The audience stop cheering and seeing this with Ichigo watching and Mai oddly smiles.

''You might have noticed it but I could never came this close in beating you than I did now.'' Jonouchi proclaims almost annoying Kaiba with a firm glare, actually striking his pride for once. Indeed not once but three times Jonouchi could have won in this duel. Jonouchi, smiling, then declares vowing to him. ''So I know one day I will best you Kaiba and rub it upon your smug face.''

"…'' Kaiba, silent by his vow, just scoffs as he turns forward and walks away. Jonouchi still smiles, proud on the day he will finally see Kaiba squirm like the jerk he deserves to be on. And that day will happen, one day.

Jonouchi was unable to truly beat Kaiba but his will hasn't faded away. One day he will beat him. For now the tournament continues. Who else will advance to the next Semi-Finals?

Ichigo: Please remember to read, enjoy and review Nya. See you all next time… And she is fine Nya… I hope so Nya.


Author's Note: Probably one of the most tamed ''Not too many NEW fanmade cards'' type of duels I've done between two real characters. I had a lot of fun doing this three parter duel. One of my most favorite duels too.

Someone asked me why don't I let Jonouchi beat Kaiba? Well for many reasons Jonouchi should have won but I feel like Kaiba winning makes more sense, in some way. I want Jonouchi to win but we have to accept that if Jonouchi grows, Kaiba will too so he can defeat Yugi who also grows and always beats Kaiba. Endless cycle. It also shows some character development and acknowledgement than petty hatred that Jonouchi got off lucky. One day Jonouchi will win… but for today, it was not his day, but he is reaching there. That is the best I can explain it.

Besides Jonouchi vs Kaiba ended 2 ways in the canon: Duelist Kingdom was a joke due to Kaiba's superior skill and once more in Battle City there was shown of improvement even under BAD conditions. I don't count Jonouchi's duel against Kaiba in Volume 2 because he had Ichigo backing him up during Battle City V3… so there. Give it more time and Jonouchi will beat Kaiba at his best or worst. IT WILL HAPPEN.

Next 3 duels will be one-shots just to move the story to its near conclusion.
