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 64: The Blade of Defeat!

In the previous episode of DKR:

The tournament continued after Jonouchi's lost over Kaiba with Erika facing off against Mai. The two have a small banter though Erika was still distracted from the other day with Ryan but she won't let that become a problem in her duel.

The duel started off fast with Erika establishing a strong field with Janne but Mai still manages with her Harpies, bringing out a new Harpie Synchro Monster. However Erika still had a huge advantage with her Visions Monsters. Mai, wanting to exceed for her past mistakes showing value in Jonouchi and his strength, fought back harder bringing back multiple Harpies and a new Harpie Xyz Monster, locking Erika from attacking.

This gave Mai the chance to fight back using a combination of Harpie Lady Phoenix Formation with Amazoness Archer, winning her the duel. Erika sighed sad she lost but she had fun. She also came across Ryan who the two seemingly become closer.

Erika leaves the rest to Ichigo in the tournament. Will Ichigo keep her promise?

What will happen?

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

Ichigo sighs sadden, not believing Erika lost. This must hurt her pride somewhat, who wouldn't.

"Erika-chan…'' The cat girl mutters out worrying for her friend. Jonouchi eyes her and as much as she has every right to worry for Erika, the next duel is her turn too.

''You should worry about your duel, Momomiya.'' Jonouchi tells her as she's going up next. Ichigo startles just forgetting that she is going up next.

''Oh right Nya…'' She mutters out, knowing she can check up on Erika later and she would also tell her to worry about her duel. Ichigo nods eyeing the darkened blond headed and says. ''I'm off then.''

''Good luck!'' Jonouchi tells her giving her a thumb up. Ichigo smirks rushing off. She exits and tries to head to the Duel Field, reminded that she needs to reach the Semi-Finals to duel Yugi, hopefully. If she can beat her opponent, she'll be close to her goal. She can't back down now that she's SO close.

As she reaches to the entrance to the central field, she's stopped by a voice calling out to her. ''Ichigo-san!''

Ichigo, blinking, stops on her tracks. She turns to see Leon, waiting for her.

''Leon-kun?'' She mutters out surprised he was waiting for her. Leon, blushing, didn't wait for the red headed charming lady like a stalker but he needed to inform her something he realizes about her opponent.

''I need to tell you something about Diederick.'' Leon explains himself to Ichigo's confusion. She just nods and replies. ''Sure Nya.''

Leon nods explain it to Ichigo as she listens. She nods as seemingly her opponent is someone Leon knows very well, pretty shy guy, and for him to act like this coldly and distant isn't him.

''So he's not acting like himself Nya?'' Ichigo mutters out getting the message. Leon nods stating. ''I'm sure. I know him and he's not himself.''

''Maybe he's sick Nya?'' She assumes as most people would not be themselves if sick or having a bad day; she knows by experience. Leon frowns not sure either but he has this weird feeling he'll understand why he's acting like this.

''I don't know but please, be careful.'' He advises Ichigo, not wanting her to get hurt. Ichigo giggles and replies with a wink. ''I will Nya!''

Ichigo bows and heads off, still determined to duel. Though she hopes Yugi is somehow able to watch her duel.


''…'' Yugi remains silent in his cell, just playing his blank memory game and winning… now he's bored. Matsuda was reading a magazine, upset he has to take the next shift. Just then his watch rings, telling him it was time for the next duel of the KC Cup Finals.

''Oh it's the next duel!'' He utters out excitedly… until he realize he still has to watch their guest. Matsuda stands up from his chair and eyes the camera, asking to the almost certain detective watching from the other end. ''Um Ryuzaki, sir, mind if I watch the tournament in here?''

L was indeed still watching, eating another sweet treat. He hums debating against it but something told him he would see a different reaction from Yugi than well likely deducing that he's crazy.

''You may watch 1 round during your turn, Matsuda-kun.'' L gives him permission, causing Matsuda to grin at the tricolor head. Yugi just smiles at the young detective who winks, knowing well he wanted to see the tournament too.

Soon the small television set is turned on, on the Dueling Network channel, to show that the next duel of the KC Cup Finals is Ichigo dueling someone.

''Ichigo-kun! She's going up next.'' Yugi utters out surprise. He blushes, wishing he could give her the best of luck but the best he can do is believed she'll make it through.

''Do your best, my Strawberry Kitten.'' He tells himself, knowing Ichigo will shine regardless.


''Ladies and gentlemen, let us move on to the next duel!'' Pegasus announces to the audience with both duelists present. ''This time we have the newcomer Ichigo Momomiya-chan!''

Ichigo waves to the crowd who cheer wildly.

''And her opponent is the silent and the one who was grateful to enter the second round, Diederick Baumeister!'' Pegasus declares introducing the other duelist… silent.

''…'' Diederick does not say a word, his arms crossed and his face covered by his hoodie and cap hat. Ichigo eyes him, wondering if he's playing emo just to not show his shyness. She giggles speaking up to him in her peppy voice. ''Let's have a fun duel Nya!''

''…'' No respond from her opponent, only stir silence. Ichigo sweat drops, finding this very harsh from a shy guy. ''Um okay Nya…''

Pegasus also sweat drops but proceeds, asking the two duelists to start. ''You may both begin!''

Ichigo nods activating her Duel Disk as did Diederick. They draw their 5 cards and Ichigo shouts, commencing their duel. ''Duel Nya!''

Duel Screen: Ichigo Momomiya: 4000LP vs. Diederick Baumeister: 4000LP

Everyone watches as the duel has begun… though they feel less excited by the silent unknown duelist.

''…'' Diederick remains silent staring at his hand. Ichigo sweat drops by his constant silence. She then asks him politely. ''Um should I start first or-''

He interrupts pointing at himself. Ichigo blinks as she exclaims. ''Oh! Okay never mind then Nya.''

Duel Screen: Turn 1_ Ichigo: 4000LP H: 5 / Diederick: 4000LP H: 5

''…'' Diederick remains silent staring at his hand.

''…'' Ichigo stares quiet with a puzzling expression. She groans a bit finally questioning if he'll make his very silent turn. ''Um so will you-''

Immediately Diederick begins his turn by activating 2 Continuous Spell Cards. Ichigo actually startles by this with Pegasus proclaiming. ''Oh he has just activated the Spells-''

In that moment the host just freezes up in shock, noticing the two cards. The two cards were Continuous Spell Cards; Six Samurai United and Gateway of the Six. This horrifies the card creator that even Ichigo notices his startling expression.

''Um Cartoon Guy-san?'' She calls him out, wondering if he was okay. Pegasus slowly regains his composure slightly, asking in shock. ''W-where did you get those cards?''

Diederick did not answer and instead summons a monster.

Appearing in Defense Position is a blue robed, pink skin tight ninja wearing armored helmet, wrist bands and belt with bright pink lining across the armor. He also wields large 4 bladed shurikens with the same pink glowing lining with a small blade on his side.

Secret Six Samurai – Fuma Lvl 1 ATK: 200 DEF: 1800

In that moment both Continuous Spell's glows as the large searchlight lights up twice as did one half of the large gate.

Number of Bushido Counters on Six Samurai United: 1

Number of Bushido Counters on Gateway of the Six: 2

Pegasus is still further taken back, confirming his suspicious.

''Where did you get that monster?'' He questions the silent duelist who continues being silent. ''…''

Ichigo hisses at this guy, questioning him upset. ''Hey, he asked you a question Nya?''

Once more no reply from him. Ichigo groans madder.


Kaiba watches from his room, glaring at the monster he completely has no information on. Jonouchi and Mai watch too, both also completely unaware by the new monster.


''Have you seen that monster before Jonouchi?'' Mai asks the darkened colored blond headed who just replies shrugging his shoulders. ''Nope. Probably Rebecca would.''

Rebecca, in her sit within the crowd, is also that much shock mumbling to herself. ''I have never seen that monster before.''


Leon was also taken back as that wasn't one of Diederick's monsters. He uses a Beast deck, not warrior especially one he's unaware of.


Mokuba watches beside his brother, exclaiming astonished. ''Wow… could that monster be one of those secret archetypes Pegasus created over the years, Nii-san?''

Kaiba eyes Pegasus' reaction and knew it to be true. He then replies firmly with his arms crossed. ''Knowing the man, most likely. So this is the so-called Six Samurai Deck.''


Pegasus stares unease, not possible that one of locked decks is being used by someone without his knowledge.

''I always create two copies of a non-experimented deck, one to myself locked in my vault and another to my two most trusted employees.'' He begins saying mentally as he thinks of the Tenma Brothers. ''Yako-boy and Gekko-boy would never hand any of those decks unless they were worthy of testing and contacting me.''

And more if one of them informed them of their choice but they have not, making him further concerned. This feels really bad informing the puzzled cat girl dueling. ''Be careful Momomiya-chan. You're not dealing with any ordinary deck.''

''Um… sure Nya.'' Ichigo replies taking his word.

Diederick proceeds setting two face-down Spell/Trap cards materialize behind the defensive Ninja. He then crosses his arms with Ichigo blinking, asking. ''Oh my turn now Nya?''

He nods silently.

Duel Screen: Turn 2_ Ichigo: 4000LP H: 5 / Diederick: 4000LP H: 1

''Right! My turn, draw Nya!'' Ichigo declares drawing her top card. She isn't sure what he's planning for but she has to go all out.

''Since I control no monsters, I can Special Summon Cat Buster from my hand Nya!'' She calls forth summoning her monster. A yellow furred cat appears, wearing a mini trench coat and wielding a pair of two cannons with paw-shaped ends.

Cat Buster Lvl 5 ATK: 2200 DEF: 1300

''Cat Buster's effect lets me draw a card when I control no other cards Nya!'' Ichigo explains drawing the top card of her deck. She then forms a smug kitty smirk eyeing her card and proclaims playing her card. ''Oh you're in trouble now Nya. Next I activate the spell, Heavy Storm! With it I destroy all Spell and Trap cards Nya!''

A large storm gathers around the field, preparing to suck up all the Spell and Trap cards on the field.

''Nice one Momomiya!'' Jonouchi shouts from the room. Now she can wipe off her opponent's field of any threats.

''…'' Diederick remains silent as he presses a button on his Duel Disk and one of his set cards flips open. Ichigo watches and exclaims, gasping. ''A Counter Trap Nya?!''

The card was indeed a Counter Trap as it glows and shatters the massive storm.

''Musakani Magatama: A card that negates cards that destroy cards while the player controls a Six Samurai monster.'' Pegasus informs Ichigo who grunts cursing upsetting. ''Darn it Nya…''

She eyes her options and summons another monster. ''Then I Normal Summon Cat Hunter Nya!''

A black fur, scarred but not damaged eye adult female cat appears with a small sword in her fangs and sharp claws.

Cat Hunter Lvl 4 ATK: 1800 DEF: 800

Ichigo then declares, raising her arm forward and enters her Battle Phase. ''Battle Nya! Cat Hunter, attack that ninja samurai monster! Plus she gains 400 ATK boost Nya!''

Cat Hunter growls shooting up to 2200 ATK as it leaps forward and charges at the defensive ninja-samurai.

''Quick Slash!'' Ichigo shouts as her warrior cat slashes down the warrior with its sharp claws followed by a cut through slash from its blade in its mouth. The attacks shatter the Six Samurai, destroying it.

Ichigo smirks proclaiming. ''Plus Cat Hunter can attack again if it destroys a monster by battle Nya!''

Cat Hunter growls able to unleash a second attack. Mai can see now Ichigo can attack with both her monsters and finish off her opponent this turn.

''Seems Momomiya got-'' Jonouchi, also coming to the same conclusion, begins to say until suddenly appearing on the opponent's field is a young man with long hair tied in a ponytail by a headband appears, wearing brown darkish, whiteish pale glowing lining ninja outfit as he wields a reverse katana blade.

Secret Six Samurai – Kizaru Lvl 4 ATK: 1900 DEF: 1000

This alarmed the red cherry head as does everyone else while both Continuous Spell of Diederick glow, gaining counters.

Number of Bushido Counters on Six Samurai United: 2

Number of Bushido Counters on Gateway of the Six: 4

''W-what the hell?!'' Jonouchi utters out in shock. Pegasus feared this and unable to tell this to Ichigo due to likely ''cheating''. He does inform now that has happened. ''Fuma had the effect if it was destroyed to Special Summon a Six Samurai monster from the Deck and he picked Kizaru, which has the effect upon Special Summoned to add a Six Samurai monster from his Deck with a different attribute than the monsters on his field.''

Diederick does not say a word adding a monster into his hand by Kizaru's effect. Ichigo groans but not discourage, proceeding to her attack. ''No problem Nya! Cat Hunter, attack-''

In that moment Diederick triggers his other set card, flipping it over.

''Another trap Nya!'' Ichigo utters out in surprise and worst as Pegasus explains. ''Six Style – Dual Wield: A trap that targets 2 cards on the field while the player controls an Attack Position Six Samurai and returns them back to the opponent's hand.''

Ichigo gasps in shock as Kizaru twirls his weapon and swings it forward, releasing a burst of wind. The powerful current pushes and sends flying both of Ichigo's monsters out of the field and she has them return to her hand.

''AW COME ON NYA!'' She yells out furious, almost winning. She groans eyeing her hand, and not left with many options since she has already Normal Summoned. Biting her lips, she grabs a card and proclaims setting it. ''I set 1 card facedown Nya. I end my turn Nya.''

A face-down Spell/Trap card materializes on her field, ending her turn.

Duel Screen: Turn 3_ Ichigo: 4000LP H: 5 / Diederick: 4000LP H: 2

''…'' Diederick remains silent drawing the top card of his deck. Ichigo groans really tired of his silence as she tries telling him. ''Come on, just say some-''

Just then he presses a button on his Duel Disk as one of his spell's glows.

''With Six Samurai United, he can draw a card per the number of counters it had and it was 2.'' Pegasus explains to the young girl. He draws 2 cards eyeing them.

''…'' Diederick stays silent as he reveals and plays Heaven's Lost Property.

''Now both players must draw 3 cards and then discard 2.'' Pegasus explains with Ichigo groaning more, still reminded of Graceful Charity.

''Even if it's a new card, this is still getting way too old Nya.'' She mutters out as both players draw their 3 cards and discards 2. He then plays Shien's Dojo and follows with Hero's Return.

''That card Special Summons a Level 4 or lower Warrior monster from his Graveyard but it's destroyed in his next End Phase.'' Pegasus once more explains as Diederick summons back Fuma.

Secret Six Samurai – Fuma Lvl 1 ATK: 200 DEF: 1800

His Continuous Spells' glow as they gain more Counters.

Number of Bushido Counters on Shien's Dojo: 1

Number of Bushido Counters on Gateway of the Six: 6

Diederick then raises his hand as 4 Counters were removed from Gateway of the Six.

Number of Bushido Counters on Gateway of the Six: 2

''Now he added another Six Samurai from his Deck due to the effect of Gateway of the Six.'' Pegasus informs Ichigo while he adds another card.

''Great Nya.'' She mutters out upsetting.

Appearing on Diederick's field is another samurai wearing heavy brown, pale yellowing lining armor underneath tight orange ninja robes. He wields twin katana swords but also two more wielded by two robotic arms connected from his back.

Legendary Six Samurai – Kageki Lvl 3 ATK: 200 DEF: 1700

Both Continuous Spells glow once more.

Number of Bushido Counters on Shien's Dojo: 2

Number of Bushido Counters on Gateway of the Six: 4

''Kageki lets him summon another Six Samurai from his hand.'' Pegasus explains as Diederick summons another monster. Emerging is another samurai wearing dark brown, bright orange lining armor resembling a demon by its helmet's sharp horns and his pale face as underneath the armor is a thin robed outfit with bandages wrapped around his arms. He wields a massive spear-like blade with an orange energy blade.

The Six Samurai – Zanji Lvl 4 ATK: 1800 DEF: 1300

The two Spells glow again gaining more Counters.

Number of Bushido Counters on Shien's Dojo: 3

Number of Bushido Counters on Gateway of the Six: 6

Ichigo groans unease as suddenly Fuma and Kizaru leap up with Fuma becoming a large green circle.

''Fuma is a Tuner Nya?!'' She utters out in shock as the circle surrounds Kizaru as he becomes 4 bright lights. Soon a green large light is unleash through the circle and stars, performing a Synchro Summon.

As the green light vanishes, it's replaced with purple flames erupting fiery all over his field. Ichigo gulps as she sees a figure from the flames. With a single swing, the flames were pushed aside to reveal himself. He was a red, golden lining designed armored samurai with sharp shoulder pads, sharp golden claw gloves, two golden outlining wings with black, purple flame design, demon horned boots and a large flame symbol helmet with the Six Samurai's symbol on its forehead. He wields a multi-edged blade, surrounding in a thin purple aura. The only parts not covered by his armor are his teeth gritting and his piercing, glowing red eyes.

Legendary Six Samurai – Shi En Lvl 5 ATK: 2500 DEF: 1400

Ichigo shivers unease by this new monster as Diederick's spells glow again.

Number of Bushido Counters on Shien's Dojo: 4

Number of Bushido Counters on Gateway of the Six: 8

''A Synchro Monster…'' Kaiba mutters to himself, curious what this Shi En could do.

Just then Diederick's Gateway of the Six slowly loses Counters till it has 4.

Number of Bushido Counters on Gateway of the Six: 6

Number of Bushido Counters on Gateway of the Six: 4

Shi En shouts increasing his ATK to 3000ATK while Kageki goes up to 2200.

''Why did his monster power-up Nya?!'' Ichigo questions in alarm. Pegasus informs her immediately. ''Gateway of the Six can remove 2 of its counters to increase the ATK of a Six Samurai monster by 500 until the end of the turn.''

Diederick then points to Shien's Dojo as it vanishes.

''Now he can Special Summon a Six Samurai of a Level equal or less than the number of Counters Shien's Dojo had.'' Pegasus proclaims as Diederick picks his monster and summons it. Appearing is a dark green armored samurai with baggy brown samurai pants with twin energy beam katanas on both hands. His armor also has green lining that glow similar to Zanji.

Six Samurai – Nisashi Lvl 4 ATK: 1400 DEF: 700

Number of Bushido Counters on Gateway of the Six: 6

Just then two of the counters of Gateway of the Six were removed, increasing the ATK of Nisashi by 1900.

Number of Bushido Counters on Gateway of the Six: 4

She gulps unease as Diederick proceeds, entering his Battle Phase and moves his arm forward. Zanji shouts leaping forward.

''He's attacking with Zanji!'' Pegasus announces but Ichigo was ready calling forth. ''I activate Love Dragon LV1's effect Nya! During my opponent's turn, I can Special Summon my lovely egg from my hand or Graveyard!''

Her Graveyard slot shines as a card pops out. She grabs it and calls forth. ''Come out my lovely friend Nya!''

She summons forth her pink dragon egg to defend her.

Love Dragon LV1 Lvl 1 ATK: 0 DEF: 500

''Nice one Momomiya! He can't-'' Jonouchi slowly proclaims that her opponent can't attack her but is stopped when Zanji proceeds with his attack. Ichigo is surprised questioning in awe. ''He's still attacking? Why?''

Zanji strikes the egg but it did not crack… but then the egg suddenly explodes to Ichigo's horror. ''LOVE DRAGON!''

''W-what the hell just happened?'' Jonouchi shouts also shock. Mai is also stared gazing at that Six Samurai; could it be an effect. Indeed it was with Pegasus revealing. ''Zanji, while there's another Six Samurai on the field, can destroy the monster it battles.''

Ichigo gasps taken back as Diederick proceeds. Kageki charges with Pegasus announcing. ''Kageki is attacking now!''

The red cherry head tries to be calm discarding a card and shouts triggering her set card. ''I discard a card to activate my set Trap, Rainbow Life! During this turn, all damage I take instead becomes I gain Life Points Nya!''

''…'' Diederick, silently, just waves his arm. In that moment Shi En's eyes glow and he swings his sword, firing an energy beam and cuts through Ichigo's trap, shattering it.

''W-what just happened Nya?!'' Ichigo asks with a stun expression. Pegasus sadly informs her. ''That was Shi En's effect: it can negate and destroy the activation of a Spell or Trap Card.''

Ichigo just makes a face how unfair that is. Kageki resumes his attack and strikes Ichigo with its multiple sword arms, causing the cat girl to shout in pain. She's pushed back as her Life Points take the 2200 of damage. She now has 1800LP and no defenses against Shi En.

''Shi En is going to attack for last!'' Pegasus announces as the samurai prepares to thrust his blade, firing another energy beam towards her. Everyone watches in horror.

''Ichigo!'' Erika yells out shock with Usagi about to faint.

''Come on Momomiya!'' Jonouchi yells, knowing she must have something left to use.

Is Ichigo truly defeated or?


Commercial Break:

Ichigo: I can't give up Nya! I have to win or else I lose my only chance to duel Yugi-kun. I won't fail Nya! I will win Nya!


Shi En swings and fires an energy blast at Ichigo and prepares to finish her.

Akumu, watching from the darkness, glares furious not going to accept his niece to lose. So help him if she loses, Kaiba will pay.

''Seems the cat is finished…'' Kaiba, his arms crossed, tells himself mentally. Kisara watches praying that Ichigo doesn't lose.

''COUSIN ICHIGO-CHAN! KEEP FIGHTING!'' Usagi screams, cheering and believing in her. Alicia stands up and cheers too. Kurosaki sweat drops and does the same. Judai cheer with Danny and Naruto. Everyone begins to cheer loudly.

Ichigo oddly smiles able to hear their cheers and grabs a card from her hand.

''You bet I will Nya! I activate Love Kuriboh from my hand Nya!'' The red cherry head proclaims, revealing and sends the Monster card from her hand. Appearing beside Ichigo is a Kuriboh, a female one with a cute red bow around its neck and its fur is rosy with softer green eyes.

"Kuri!'' The Kuriboh cries happily as she flies right at Shi En's blade and surrounds her body in a bright energy. The energy blade slash seemingly cuts through the furball but the Kuriboh is actually fine, absorbing the negative energy of the attack and turn it positive.

''If I am about to take any damage, that damage becomes Life Points I gain instead Nya!'' Ichigo explains happily as Love Kuriboh winks and vanishes, sending the energy into her owner. She gains 3000LP instead of damage, raising her current to 4800LP.

Everyone gasps taken back with Usagi muttering out dropping on the chair overwhelmed. ''PHEW! Close one.''

Ichigo sighs deeply also relieve.

''…'' Diederick does not say a word and instead Nisashi charges and slashes Ichigo. She screams taking 1900 of damage but at least she'll-

Her train of thought is cut off as Nisashi slashes Ichigo again. She screams horrified taking another 1900 of damage.

''Nisashi can attack twice if there's another Six Samurai on the field!'' Pegasus proclaims causing the cat girl to hiss, really annoy by the damage she just took. Now she has 1000LP left.

Diederick then sets a card from his hand. A face-down Spell/Trap card materializes behind his monsters, already ending his turn.

Duel Screen: Turn 4_ Ichigo: 1000LP H: 4 / Diederick: 4000LP H: 4

Ichigo pants not expecting to survive that move but her opponent is no pushover.

''He's really strong Nya…'' She admits but she can't give up. She has to believe in herself; she must be strong and win against this guy so she can finally duel Yugi and show her growth. She promised herself, she can't go back to her word. After all this is why she wants to duel Yugi; to show her growth and the trust she's made with her cards.

''… But I can't give up Nya! I won't let this overcome me!'' Ichigo soon proclaims, smiling brightly as she proclaims determine in herself. ''I'll place my all on this duel and reach my promises!''

Erika smiles glad to hear that. Diederick did not say a word though his left hand squeezes slightly into a fist.

''My turn!'' Ichigo begins to say placing her draw hand over her deck and shouts drawing it passionately. ''LOVE DRAW NYA!''

She draws her top card and smiles joyfully.

''Since I control no monsters, I can Special Summon Cat Buster again Nya!'' Ichigo announces summoning her weaponized cat monster back to the field.

Cat Buster Lvl 5 ATK: 2200 DEF: 1300

''I now draw 1 card Nya!'' She adds drawing 1 card. Ichigo proceeds summoning the card she drew. ''I summon Love Dragon LV4 Nya!''

Emerging to her field is the teenage aged Love Dragon, letting out a roar.

Love Dragon LV4 Lvl 4 ATK: 1500 DEF: 1600

''Next I activate the spell, Level Up!'' Ichigo shouts playing her evolution spell card.

''…'' Diederick, silent, raises his hand and Shi En thrusts his blade and fires a wave that hits Ichigo's spell, shattering it.

''Shi En negated it!'' Pegasus announces likely ruining her needed card. However Ichigo just smirks softly.

''Just what I was hoping for Nya!'' Ichigo declares smiling to Diederick confusion, leaning his head slightly to the left. She giggles grabbing a card in her hand and plays it. ''I activate the spell, Foolish Burial! I send a monster from my Deck to the Graveyard Nya!''

She sends a card from her Deck to the Graveyard and proceeds playing another spell. ''Next I activate the Quick-Play Spell, Love Joining!''

A large pinkish, fiery heart-like cloud appears over her beginning to split into 3.

''Since Shi En is a Level 5, I can Special Summon up to 3 of my Love Dragons from my Graveyard with levels that combine equal to or less than its Level Nya!'' Ichigo announces picking her 3 monsters and calls them forth purring. ''Come out, my Love Dragons Nya!''

Appearing alongside Love Dragon LV4 is LV1, LV2 and LV3.

Love Dragon LV1 Lvl 1 ATK: 0 DEF: 500

Love Dragon LV2 Lvl 2 ATK: 500 DEF: 800

Love Dragon LV3 Lvl 3 ATK: 1000 DEF: 1200

Jonouchi smirks excitedly knowing what comes next with Ichigo proclaiming. ''I activate Love Dragon LV4's effect, sending itself and all my Love Dragons from LV 1 through 3 to perform a super Love summon!''

All four Love Dragons shine with LV4 roaring, absorbing the other 3 and glows brightly, expanding and changing

''Please bring forth the light of hope! Let your love shine brighter than power alone!'' Ichigo chants passionate with a smile as the light of her dragon begins to change. ''Flap your lovely wings, Love Dragon LV8!''

The light transforms and becomes Ichigo's ace Love Dragon, letting out a passionate roar.

Love Dragon LV8 Lvl 8 ATK: 3000 DEF: 2300

Pegasus smiles to see this. Kaiba scoffs wondering when she would summon her dragon.

''I also activate the Quick-Play Spell, Power of Love! Now my Love Dragon gains 2000 ATK Nya!'' Ichigo quickly plays a card from her hand as Love Dragon goes up to 5000ATK. She then adds winking

''I use Love Dragon LV8's effect, revealing Great Love to increase my Life Points by 500 and then you take 500 of damage!''

She reveals her trap and shouts. ''Love Blast!''

Her dragon releases a small mini fireball at Diederick, hitting him while its energy surrounds Ichigo in gentle energy. Her Life Points goes up to 1500LP while Diederick's drops to 3500.

The sad part is Ichigo's dragon can't use its Love Growth effect but Ichigo is still confident entering her Battle Phase. ''Battle! Love Dragon LV8, attack Nisashi!''

Her dragon roars flying at the weaker Six Samurai. Ichigo smirks planning to finish it with Cat Buster attacking Kageki and winning. However Diederick was a step ahead, triggering his set card Staunch Defender, redirecting the attack to Shi En. Ichigo groans changing her attack. ''Then attack Shi En!''

Love Dragon roars glowing brightly, charging swirls of pink fiery energy in its fangs.

''Love Burst Surprise!'' Ichigo shouts as her dragon breathes its powerful blast and unleashes it upon Shi En, consuming and blasting it.

''Momomiya got him!'' Jonouchi shouts excitedly with the others from their spot cheering loudly.

Her opponent indeed took 2500LP of damage however Shi En remains unscratched to Ichigo's surprise. His Life Points drops to 1000LP. Ichigo giggles finally getting the lead… until the smoke clear and Shi En was untouched while it was Kageki that took the blow, shattering into pieces. Diederick pants though, showing a sign of weakness.

''H-how?'' Ichigo mutters out horrify. Pegasus explains to her calmly. ''Almost all the Six Samurais have the ability to destroy another Six Samurai to prevent its destruction. He destroyed Kageki so Shi En would remain.''

Ichigo groans upsetting, finding such an effect as cruel. She knows that Samurais would give their life for their leader from her father but it's still wrong.

''I set a card facedown Nya.'' Ichigo, upsetting, sets her Great Love trap. She won't get the chance to use it but she doesn't have much choice. Her opponent can't attack Love Dragon due to its large size so it's the best she can do.

''I end my turn.'' She proclaims finishing her turn, breathing calmly. Alicia blinks noticing it.

''Why is she so relaxed after that?'' Kurosaki questions also noticing it. Judai did too and gladly tells them. ''Because Ichigo-chan has her Love Dragon with more ATK to not worry about her opponent in attacking it. She can survive another turn and try destroying Shi En.''

Naruto nods firmly clueless while Usagi just smiles that her cousin can win.

Ichigo smiles a bit confident calling out to her silent opponent that has tormented her. ''How's that Nya! That's the love between me and my cards Nya.''

Diederick did not say a word, calming down his pants though his left hand squeezes again.

''And also the love I have for my friends, my family, and those I love the most.'' Ichigo expresses with her trusting dragon partner beside her. She purrs letting out joyfully. ''I'm going to duel Yugi-kun, I promise him Nya and I won't let someone who doesn't speak to beat me Nya.''

''…'' Diederick twitches, hearing Yugi's name. His fist squeezes tightly before just suddenly releasing his grip. His panting stops and looks up straight.

''…Your love huh?'' Ichigo startles with widen eyes, looking at her once silent opponent finally speaking. He scoffs out, proclaiming in a language and accent that wasn't Germany. ''You're really pathetic.''

Pegasus blinks just as confused. Leon sweats, hearing this Diederick as that's not his friend. He doesn't sound nothing like the real one.

''… Nya?'' Ichigo awkwardly mutters out really puzzle asking him blinking. ''Y-you sound Japanese Nya.''

Duel Screen: Turn 5_ Ichigo: 1500LP H: 0 / Diederick: 1000LP H: 4

The one who says is Diederick just scoffs annoyed, annoyed playing this game and is done with it.

''No more games… MY TURN!'' He shouts drawing his top card fiercely. Ichigo feels unease by this change as the young man chuckles a bit, telling her. ''I can easily beat you with my current field but I'll make you go through a more humiliating defeat.''

Ichigo blinks again as he grabs a card from his hand and points at her dragon with it.

''I release your dragon.'' The so-called Diederick announces to Ichigo's confusion again. ''… Nya?''

He prepares to summon it as suddenly Love Dragon LV8 roars and vanishes from Ichigo's field. She sees this happen in shock, screaming out. ''LOVE DRAGON?!''

''Now I summon to you this monster.'' He tells her as he chants forth. ''Appear from the surface of the oceans! Gameciel, the Sea Turtle Kaiju!''

Water forms underneath Ichigo to her confusion. She looks down at it and then sees a pair of glowing green eyes. She panics backing away fast as something shoots upward from it. Everyone watches in shock as a large blue winged turtle creature emerges with twin wings: two large ones on the top and two smaller ones on its sides.

Gameciel, the Sea Turtle Kaiju Lvl 8 ATK: 2200 DEF: 3000

Everyone watches completely shocked especially Kaiba with widen eyes.

"A Kaiju?'' Ichigo mutters even more puzzled, never hearing this monster before. Pegasus, however, just stares in completely horror.

''Impossible!'' The creator utters out in protest, not possible. Yako was given the Six Samurai deck for safe keeping while Gekko was also given the destructive Kaijus.

''Only Gekko-boy had…'' Pegasus mutters questioning this before turning to Diederick and demands him rather upset. ''What did you-''

''Nothing. They kindly handed me those decks.'' The so-called Diederick responds, tapping his hat to him. Pegasus glares questioning him firmly. ''Who are you?''

''… None of your concern.'' The opponent proclaims holding up another card and proclaims. ''Since my opponent controls a Kaiju, I can summon this card to my field!''

Ichigo blinks watching as her opponent chants and summons. ''Erupt from the flames with your vengeful blaze! Dogoran, the Mad Flame Kaiju!''

Flames erupt behind him, shooting upward like a volcano as a emerge bursts out of it. It reveals to be a massive dinosaur-like creature with large wings and its head and front are erupting of flames resembling scales or horns. Flames also breathe out from its fangs as its eyes glowing bright yellow.

Dogoran, the Mad Flame Kaiju Lvl 8 ATK: 3000 DEF: 1200

Ichigo sweats heavily by the massive Godzilla-like monster.

''Battle.'' Her opponent proclaims coldly, ordering. ''Dogoran, incinerate Gameciel!''

Dogoran roars fiery charging at Gameciel with its claws but Gameciel defends with its back. The attacks intercepts but Dogoran slaps the massive turtle with its fiery tail. Gameciel cries out in a growl as Dogoran opens its fiery mouth as its stomach burns hotter and glows.

''Burn into nothing! Mad Atomic Flame!'' He shouts as Dogoran releases and fires a mouth breath blast of radioactive flames upon Gameciel, incinerate the giant blue turtle. It screams burning away while Ichigo yelps taking 800LP of damage. Her Life Points drops to 700.

''Shi En, attack directly.'' He orders but Ichigo was prepared shouting. ''I activate Love Dragon LV1 and LV2, Special Summoning both of them Nya!''

Both her weaker Love Dragons appear protecting her.

Love Dragon LV1 Lvl 1 ATK: 0 DEF: 500

Love Dragon LV2 Lvl 2 ATK: 500 DEF: 800

''Shi En, attack LV2.'' He orders coldly. Shi En grips its free hand tightly as its purple flames burn around them and he swings it forward, releasing a burst of flames upon his foe. The early unhatched dragon intercepts and blocks the attack, destroying it regardless.

''Zanji, attack that egg!'' The opponent orders as his Six Samurai strikes the dragon egg and destroys it through its effect.

''Nisashi can still attack twice…'' Mai points out overwhelmed that Ichigo will lose like this.

The so-called Diederick cracks a small smirk underneath his hoodie, asking her. ''You think you could win with love?''

Ichigo sweats worrying, already done sadly. But she would experience something more her opponent raises his head slightly to show his face seemingly through the shades of his hood.

''Let me show you how reality truly works.'' He proclaims as his eyes gazes upon her. Ichigo stares and slowly widens her eyes out of terror, seeing the red, 3 pupil tomeo eyes. She shivers no doubt about it; the Sharingan. But this guy… he's not Sasuke then who the heck-

''I activate the Quick-Play Spell, Cunning of the Six Samurai.'' He declares playing a Quick-Play Spell from his hand. ''By sending a Six Samurai I control, I can Special Summon a Six Samurai from either player's Graveyard.''

Shi En vanishes only for him to call him forth. ''Resurrect, Shi En.''

Purple flames erupt and emerging is Shi En, letting out a powerful warrior cry with his blade risen up.

Legendary Six Samurai – Shi En Lvl 5 ATK: 2500 DEF: 1400

Ichigo stares frightened as her opponent commands pointing his hand in such a way like a sided gun pistol hand gesture. "End this, Shi En.''

The Six Samurai raises his right sword arm up as the blade absorbs the purple flames surrounding Shi En and wraps them around it. He awaits his final comment which his owner commands loudly yet furious. ''SHI EN BLADE!''

Shi En's eyes glow and he obeys swinging his weapon while letting out a loud battle cry. The blade is swung and releases all of its purple flames and moves in so fast, stabbing through Ichigo. The attack is quickly consumed into flames so fast to the stunned Ichigo barely having time to react as it burns her. All she could do is let out a painful scream as her Life Points all burn away to 0.

Duel Screen: Winner… Ichigo Momomiya: 0LP vs. Diederick Baumeister: 1000LP

"…'' Everyone is silent, almost terrified by this. Ichigo, gasping, stares as Shi En, Dogoran and the other Six Samurais vanish. The blade leaves, not showing any injury on Ichigo's body but she drops on her knees. She sweats heavily, sobbing at the intensify she just felt.

Even Pegasus is left speechless, not ever seeing a duel so brutal and cruel. Not even Kaiba would duel in such a manner. Speaking of, Kaiba stares furious. He's never seen a duel this lethal in his life; it had no sense of pride, just absolute victory.

Diederick did not say a word as he starts to turn around and walks. Ichigo lifts her eyes slowly at him, breathing heavily but trying to calm herself down. She gasps trying to speak out and barely calls him out. ''… H-Hey!''

He did not stop as Ichigo tries getting up, shaken up at the glimpse of the eyes he had. No doubt it was part of her imagination, it was a Sharingan.

''W-who…'' Ichigo tries asking who he was but the one who says is Diederick stops and turns, simply looking in a narrowing pose. He lifts up his cap a bit before telling her. ''None of your concern unless you value the lives of your friends.''

''…'' Ichigo states silent, sweating as if she could feel the unnoticed pressure that surrounds him. So familiar… no, it wasn't Sasuke, but a pressure she's felt before… from Yugi. The person turns forward and walks away from the field, leaving Ichigo there shaken. She bites her lips, leaving herself the opposite direction.

The red cherry head still shivers, unable to grip control on herself. She was too scared and worst humiliated. She wasn't able to keep her promise, tears dripping from her eyes. Ichigo didn't even want to win the tournament; she just wanted to duel Yugi in front of all of these people, so she can show them and him all he taught her.

Ichigo then hears footsteps and quickly wipes off her tears. She rubs them off fast and turns to see Erika, frowning sadden. She didn't need to tell how bad she feels for her best friend for her lost; her face has already said it.

''You're leaving?'' Erika does asked concern that maybe she shouldn't leave yet especially alone. Ichigo blushes nodding softly, too tired and sad to even watch the rest of the tournament. She can't be here anymore.

''Y-yea… I'm a little tired Nya.'' Ichigo expresses kindly, smiling the best she could.

''…'' Erika still frowns able to see her friend is depressed. She knew she can't let her be alone so she asks her. ''Want me to-''

Ichigo, already assuming her friend's intentions, interrupts by shaking her head and protests kindly. ''I would like to be alone Erika-chan but thank you.''

Erika sighs slightly but obeys her wishes. Ichigo smiles thankful for her and asks of her. ''Apologies the others for me especially my cousin Nya.''

''I will.'' Erika gladly says, willing to do so. Ichigo smiles again and bows, walking away and starts leaving. Erika watches her leave, sighing as she hopes Yugi didn't see that duel. If she felt sadden for her friend, Yugi will be a different story.


''…'' Yugi, silently, remains such with his hands slowly gripping and shaking. It felt wrong. He can accept Ichigo losing in that duel… but not like that! That duelist she duel, it was like he had no soul.

''Ah, sorry about your girlfriend's lost Yugi-san.'' Matsuda says also taken back by the beaten she received. No reply from the tricolor head, his front hair covering his eyes as his head is lowered slightly, struggling to hold his fury back.

''Yugi-san?'' Matsuda utters not seeing him act so upsetting, well other than being locked in here. Not replying either, Yugi instead gets up from the bed in his ceil and looks up slightly at the camera viewing him 24/7.

''L-kun…'' The tricolor head slowly mutters out, calling out to the detective. He then demands as his purple eyes stare up, gazing furious at the camera eyeing back. ''I'm done playing your game. Let me out please.''

This shocks almost everyone except L, sitting on his chair crossed leg, just raises an eyebrow while sipping on his sugary coffee. He coughs and replies calmly. ''Mutou-kun, your second day hasn't passed yet so-''

Yugi grits his teeth angrily not going to wait for ANOTHER second knowing Ichigo is hurt so badly. His eyes slightly glow red as he demands, louder and more furious.''I'M NOT ASKING YOU NICELY!''

Now this surprise the detective, taken back by the young man's calm and compose nature turned to a furious rage he is showing. Yugi glares at the camera, his eyes still fading in and out glowing red. He was in no humor for these stupid games.

Atem, fading slightly in spirit form, tries to reason with his partner from getting out of hand.''Partner, calm down! Momomiya-''

Yin-Yang Dragon, also appearing in spirit form, stopped him, shaking their heads as Yugi must express himself.

L hums at the boy's expression, puzzle why he's mad just because that girl lost some game. He decides to tackle that subject, questioning him. ''Why are you so worry about a duel your girlfriend lost? It's just a game.''

Yugi, not saying a word, just stares coldly. He's not wrong but how he said it is like someone without a soul. He remembers when Jenny gave him his first board game and how much he enjoyed it. It was an amazing sensation, like something filling the lack of friends and family and more so when Jenny had to leave. It saddened him but a piece of her would always be there for him to smile and enjoy himself. That's what he saw when he was teaching those like Jonouchi or Ichigo about Duel Monsters; a joy that feels their bodies.

''Yea… it is just a game…'' The tricolor head admits but then immediately protests reminded why he enjoys games especially Duel Monsters. ''But it's a game she enjoys and wanted to get far! It's a game she wanted to try because it's fun! It's a game that doesn't bring pain to others unlike yours with Kira!''

Light growls slightly by that comment while L just hums though he's astonished.

''Then again that's all you care about. If you knew why Ichigo-kun and I like about Duel Monsters, maybe you would value what others really think than what you assume on people in being suspects or monsters!'' Yugi then adds loudly that L widens his eyes a bit. Atem watches worrying with the tricolor adding, his eyes calming down. ''Now, let me out or I will!''

''…'' Silent is all that occur. The others were rather speechless. Light scoffs a bit as he begins stating. ''Cocky isn't he? He's asking to be locked away longer-''

L, pressing on his microphone switch, begins speaking through it. ''Matsuda-kun, you may release Mutou-kun.''

Light widens his eyes and turns, uttering out in confusion. ''P-pardon?!''

The other detectives were also confused, even Yugi is puzzle dropping his furious state immediately.

Soichiro then questions the so-called master detective. ''Ryuzaki, what are you up to?''

L did not answer right away, instead taking a sip on his coffee. He then answers calmly. ''Nothing. I wanted to confirm something.''

Light glares slightly, not understanding this angle he's trying. He then reminds him acting like the puzzle person. ''And to figure out what Kira is doing trying to frame him?''

''Likely a message of superiorly he has over us, mostly myself.'' L just replies, gazing at Light who tries not to show his boiling anger.

''Then why lock him up?'' Soichiro questions still not understanding what the point of all of this was. L did not reply, watching Matsuda releasing the puzzle Yugi and leading him to his belongings and leads him out. L has seen many things… but he has never been insulted by a child for over a game. It was a different from the number of people he suspected. That… and it confirmed his suspicious on Yugi; he can't be Kira if he cares that much for a card game. Kira only cares about being a righteous ''god'' and ''executioner''.

''… Confirming something which I have.'' L just says, taking another sip from his coffee. Light just stares at him; firm and cold. He has to kill him; he must no matter what it takes.


After getting his belongings and exited out of the building, Yugi is now a free man but it didn't change how angry he was. He's never been angry or shown a sense of angry… but ever sense he met Ichigo and becoming the Dragon Knight, it's like his inner fury and rage has grew and able to summon these emotions when just thinking that his friends get hurt. Like the time Ichigo was torn apart after what Kish did to Masaya during Christmas. He just snapped and almost did something he would not take back.

Atem has also noticed this and advises him concern for his outburst. ''Partner, you shouldn't have threatened L like this. There's no telling what he might do now.''

Yugi frowns, knowing he's right… but he doesn't care about L. He has someone else that matters more than Light or L or any villain he has to worry about.

''… I don't care.'' The tricolor head mutters out slowly lifting his index and middle right fingers over his forehead and focuses. Atem watches this and startles, questioning. ''You're not thinking in using-''

Yugi did not answer but rather vanishes instantly.

Within seconds, Yugi reappears inside Kaiba Land and can sense Ichigo somewhere. He looks around with Atem, stunned by the teleportation, calls him out upset. ''Yugi! You're being too reckless even trying that move! Just using you drains you! You can't-''

''I DON'T CARE!'' The Pharaoh is silent by Yugi who is breathing heavily from both his outburst and using that technique having drained him. He continues panting, not caring on the risk or the chance someone saw him do that; he can't help it but reach Ichigo.

''Did you saw her face. Can you imagine what's running in her head after such a terrible duel?'' Yugi tells his partner, concern greatly for the red cherry head's wellbeing. He's seen duels that turn into nightmares, some examples being Yami Marik's doing. But this duel, it was just as bad as Penalty Duel. He could still remember Ichigo trying her hardest to win and it wasn't even enough, it didn't come close and it was brutal.

Yugi knows duels aren't always supposed to be fun but they are and Ichigo enjoys dueling for fun. Atem eyes him and just smile a bit, as reckless as he put it; he isn't wrong either.

''… I do. Go to her, partner.'' The Pharaoh says giving him the go. Yugi smiles and looks around fast, quickly spotting a certain red head walking out to the exit. Spotting her smiling, Yugi calls out to her loudly.''ICHIGO-KUN!''

Ichigo stops with widen eyes. She breathes slightly, frozen before slowly turning around. There she sees the tricolor head rushing over, with a face of concern and delight to see her.

''Yugi-kun?'' She utters out surprised that he's back… and worst at a time like this. Ichigo hesitates to speak up though Yugi beats her to it, stating with a smile. ''I got off early.''

''…'' Ichigo, still silent, just smiles a little though she felt defeated due to her duel. She tries to put up a front and expresses happily. ''I-I'm glad Nya!''

Yugi, however, frowns knowing she's lying. Ichigo blushes trying to not stare at him and instead expresses. ''I really am but I kinda want to rest Nya.''

''…'' Yugi just stares sadden and quiet. Ichigo blushes sadden trying to turn and leave but then Yugi grabs her hand by the wrist.

''Don't go.'' He asks of her kindly, begging her as he could sense her hands shaking. ''Not like this.''

Ichigo bites her lips, shivering as she tries her hardest to not cry apart. Yugi frowns sadden, asking of her. ''I don't want you to go crying.''

The red cherry head trembles, sobbing slightly by this.

''S-sorry Nya…'' Ichigo mutters out her voice cracking as tears drip from her cheeks. Yugi frowns a bit, comforting her. She sobs uttering. ''I-I thought I was hiding that well Nya.''

''You were. I just read your aura and…'' Yugi says able to sense her depression too well as he adds. ''I had a feeling after how you lost that duel.''

Ichigo blushes in dismay, not wanting him of all people to see her loss like that. She sobs a bit more, shaking her head before trying to utter. ''I just… I JUST-''

Immediately Yugi comforts her with a deep hug. The cat girl blushes, her ears twitching happily while her tail wags slightly.

''I know.'' He says, not needing her to tell him; he can already feel her sadness. He then eyes her deeply in her eyes, blushing warmly, as he then complements. ''Well I know you wanted to duel me and that's all I need to know.''

Ichigo still blushes, so happy he cares this much for her. She's grateful, no, she's overjoyed by him.

''Yugi-kun, I-'' She tries uttering but Yugi just hugs her more. She purrs with her face even redder, just muttering warmly. ''Hold me longer Nya.''

''Sure, my Strawberry Kitten.'' Yugi says with a small smile, cuddling her closer. Ichigo purrs feeling his warm and kindness; a place that will always fade away her sadness.

''I love you Nya.'' Ichigo expresses softly, loving the kind geek of a hero with all of her heart. Yugi blushes softly, loving her more and will always by her bright smile.

Ichigo couldn't keep her promise but at least she didn't leave completely empty handed, with Yugi beside her. Who will come out on top in the last duel of Round 2 of the tournament's finals?
