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 65: Passionate Warriors vs Angelic Soldiers! Ryan vs Zigfried!
In the previous episode of DKR:
The KC Cup Final resumed with Ichigo going up next and before she got to the field, Leon approached her and warned her with the duelist she's going up against, Diederick Baumeister, is not who he assumed he is. Ichigo was questionable by his warning but kept it to heart, heading to the field.
The duel or well the one person talking was Ichigo going up against Diederick who was silent throughout the few many turns. Pegasus, however, spoke in horror that the duelist was using the Six Samurai deck that Yako had kept in himself. It was a shocker for the creator of Duel Monsters as Ichigo taken back by shock by the Six Samurais power.
However Ichigo still managed to turn the tide… only to enrage the duelist to finally speak and use his true power, the Kaijus. Pegasus once more was shocked by the results and worst for Ichigo losing her ace monster and losing in the end, humiliated and beaten badly.
Ichigo, completely defeated, decided to leave not able to handle watching the rest of the tournament. She failed to reach dueling Yugi, to show him her growth… and lost. She sighed walking alone… until Yugi appeared, panting. He was able to see her duel and demanded furious at L to release him now… which he did. He didn't question it; he just wanted to see her, he needed to see her right now. Ichigo tried her best to hide her sadness but Yugi could see through it, holding her and comforting her closely. Ichigo sobs joyfully, so happy right now to have him near her.
Only one more duel is left in the KC Cup's Second Round Finals. Who will win?
What will happen next?
And now the conclusion... last left off in the previous episode:
Alone in the restroom, Ryan has been talking to his secretary on the other line and upset as well.
''Yes Shelly… I know but-'' He tries reasoning to her about something but then gets yelled back and nods back responding. ''Yes… I know… My mum would but I-''
Once more he's yelled back from the other side. He sighs beaten by her words and replies. ''I know Shelly… I'll come back after my business here.''
The other end's voice speaks much calmer and he nods staying. ''Thank you.''
He hangs up, rubbing his face in frustration. He has to come back to the firm and resume business there… but he can't. He needs to settle things here… he needs to get what he never got. He sighs walking up to the sink, washing his hands and face.
Ryan tries to regain some composure until he looks up at his reflection, seeing a crying, younger self. It scares him, recalling the day his mother died and how he lost his childhood. He has no other family; he had no one else. He snaps yelling and swinging a punch across the mirror. It cracks with blood dripping from his brushed, bleeding cut up fist. He breathes heavily, washing up his hand. He then pulls out and wraps a handkerchief around his hand, tying it up. He can get it clean better later.
''I have to win… I have to.'' Ryan mutters to himself, walking out from the restroom and more than determined to win.
Kaiba watches along with Mokuba on the Bingo Machine results, both times. For the CEO and intelligent superior that he is with his machines or devices, it doesn't make sense that Diederick Baumeister would be lucky both times advancing to the second round and dueling a newbie like Momomiya. It just doesn't add up, especially since he put the odds that Kaiba would- should have been his opponent. He had to check the bingo machine's operating system on this glitch that has happen twice now.
"Did you figure out the glitch Mokuba?'' Kaiba demands to his brother who asked to check the glitch error. Mokuba nods softly explaining. ''Sort of. Just in case I'll be ready when we have to pick who will duel Yugi, I guess tomorrow though.''
''…'' Seto did not say a word pretty much annoy he has to wait till tomorrow. Just then his communicator glows and a voice speak through it. ''Kaiba-sama.''
Kaiba answers the call firmly. ''What is it KCSFE01?''
Mokuba makes a face with the older Kaiba sibling scowling, reminding him. ''Kaiba Corporation Special Forces Elite 01. You should know that Mokuba.''
Mokuba sweat drops now remembering. It's been a long day.
Outside, Kaiba's dark tactical unit has been securing Kaiba Land in the shadows. Their mission is to secure peace around the amusement park for the stake of the tournament and inform their boss of the Dark Lord's presence with their tech or anything worth his time.
''You ordered us to keep watch in case this Dark Lord attacks the Kaiba Dome.'' The commander answers on the other line. Kaiba scoffs a bit relieve the monster hasn't done anything to ruin this tournament.
''And nothing?'' He says confirming his certainly. The commander replies. ''Correct sir but we did spot someone else.''
''… Who?'' Seto demands curious. The commander sends him an image which Kaiba holographs with his Duel Disk; showing the image of Yugi hugging Ichigo. Forming a small smirk, Kaiba now has his reason to continue the tournament a little longer.
''Mokuba, set the Bingo Machine ready after the next duel.'' Kaiba orders his younger brother as he walks off, smirking sinister to go pick up his guest.
Ichigo purrs so happy holding on Yugi's hand. She may have lost but now she can spend time with the person that removes all that sadness out of her. She leans and rests her head on his arm, purring joyfully. Yugi blushes holding her close, hearing her purrs.
''So what you wanna do first Nya, Yugi-kun?'' Ichigo asks eagerly as they still have the rest of the afternoon to have fun, just the two of them. Yugi hums thinking about it but then Ichigo beats him to it eagerly. ''Shopping Nya?!''
''…'' Yugi, silent, freezes up in terror. He shivers a bit at the thought to wait for Ichigo in a chair or standing, worst in his opinion, for hours. He sighs though, not wanting to disappoint her and accepts. ''M-might as well.''
''YEA NYA!'' Ichigo shouts happily. The two were about to leave Kaiba Land premise until the two were surrounded by the tactical unit. Yugi startles not sensing them or Ichigo yelling out panicking. ''WA WHAT THE HELL NYA?!''
Yugi becomes alarm about to pull out his Dragon Sword but then he notices the symbol on their outfits. Ichigo hisses about to transform into her Mew form but then Yugi stops her, letting her know. ''Wait Ichigo-kun, those logos.''
Ichigo blinks spotting the blue colored logo, a KC wording.
''KC? Isn't that-'' She slowly begins to say until the commander presses a few buttons on his wrist arm. In those moments a light shines and a hologram of Seto Kaiba appears before the couple.
''Kaiba-Baka!'' Ichigo shout furious more so that he's appearing as a HOLOGRAM. Yugi sweat drops not at all surprised.
''So that worm of a detective let you go early? At least the man knows well enough to not keep me impatient.'' Kaiba speaks directly towards Yugi. Ichigo groans not wanting him to take away
''Kaiba-kun. Listen I'm-'' Yugi tries to reason with him but then Kaiba immediately admonishes his rival coldly with his stare. ''If you're words aren't you returning to the Kaiba Dome, then prepared to be dragged back by force.''
Ichigo sighs before letting out a loud yell. ''LISTEN YOU! I'M ALREADY UPSET I LOST NYA AND NOW THAT YUGI-KUN IS HERE TO CHEER ME UP, YOU INTENDED TO RUIN OUR MOMENT NYA!''
''…'' Kaiba just stares at her firmly with his special forces readying to bring them back by force. He then threatens firmly. ''I won't ask again.''
''Then make-'' Ichigo prepares to pick a fight gripping on her Mew Pendant Necklace… only to stop. She groans, being silent. This awes even Kaiba as she's not the type to just stop all of a sudden. Yugi just stares at his girlfriend, wondering what's going to do now.
''… Fine Nya.'' Ichigo finally says shocking Kaiba. Now that astounded Yugi, questioning her reasons. ''Ichigo-kun?''
Ichigo just sighs knowing nothing she does or says will stop Kaiba from his obsession to beat Yugi. She should at least submit and watch Yugi beat Kaiba for the hundredth time just to spite him.
''Might as well Nya. He's stupidly stubborn.'' The red cherry head says willing to go through with this. Yugi oddly smiles holding her hand close, going to make it up to her. Ichigo giggles already assuming he will and states eagerly. ''Tomorrow we're shopping Nya!''
Yugi once more freezes up, really badly wanting to groan but accepts kindly. ''S-sure.''
Ichigo giggles as they head back to the dome. The tactical unit leaps away back to the shadows, resuming their task.
Yugi and Ichigo arrive inside the dome and back to the duelist room. Jonouchi hears footsteps and turns to see them.
''Yugi!'' Jonouchi shouts out of joy rushing over and almost hugs his best friend but then sweat drops. He chuckles just fake punching his shoulder. Yugi blushes happy to see him too.
''Well look who's back.'' Mai expresses with a small smirk, but mostly towards Ichigo coming back. The red cherry head blushes softly, liking her praising. Jonouchi agrees with Mai proclaiming to the red cherry head. ''Sometimes you amaze me with these surprises Momomiya.
Ichigo blushes awkwardly, proclaiming shyly. ''Eh… Yea Nya.''
''So what did we missing?'' Yugi asks with a small smile. Jonouchi points to the window explaining. ''The lawyer is going up against Zigfried.''
Ichigo rushes over first then Yugi to see Ryan arriving to the field and Zigfried already there.
''Ryan-kun might win this right?'' The red cherry head asks the tricolor head. Yugi sweat drops not sure what to say since he hasn't been given the chance to watch the tournament.
Jonouchi actually speaks up assuming Ichigo meant him. ''I'm NOT sure… lost to Zigfried and his Valkyries.''
Ichigo blinks recalling something Rebecca told her, asking him. ''They're strong?''
Yugi nods having seen them in action, commenting. ''Kaiba-kun had trouble with them before too.''
''No kidding Nya!'' She expresses surprised even Kaiba struggled. He must be good being Leon's older brother.
Everyone watch as Ryan stares firmly at Zigfried who smirks overconfident.
''Are our two duelists ready?'' Pegasus asks the two if they are ready. Ryan just nods silently.
''I suppose we are, Mr. Pegasus.'' Zigfried responds still smiling. Pegasus nods as he announces to all. ''Then may the duel begin!''
''Duel!'' The two duelists shout, activating their Duel Disks, and drawing their top 5 cards.
Duel Screen: Ryan Quint: 4000LP vs. Zigfried von Schroeder: 4000LP
The audience watch as the duel has begun. Ryan checks his hand. He has a good hand but it's not good against his current opponent. Zigfried's Mischief of the Time Goddess is too dangerous, he can't ignore it.
''So will it be alright if you start first?'' Zigfried, however, has other plans asking politely to his opponent to begin first. Jonouchi wanted to shout ''NO''… which he does and only those in the room suffer his yelling.
Ryan shakes his head disagreeing and replies. ''I insist you go first.''
Zigfried lets out a small chuckle as the young man isn't stupid to charge forward. He then suggests turning towards Pegasus. ''Hmm a tie. Then judge, I wish for a tiebreaker.''
Pegasus had no choice but to agree with the terms snapping his fingers, declaring as he points up. ''Everyone, look up to the screen to see who the computer will decide to go first.
The screen turns up and starts showing an image of a roulette spinning, having 16 slots: 8 being Ryan's image and 8 being Zigfried. Where the spinning arrow of the roulette lands on must go first. Everyone watches as the arrow slowly begins to stop and lands on one of Ryan's spots.
''And it looks like Ryan-boy is going first!'' Pegasus proclaims with Ryan frowning a bit.
Jonouchi also groans upset speaking up loudly. ''Bad. Now Zigfried can go all out during his turn.''
Ichigo frowns worrying so she asks her boyfriend. ''I'm sure he'll be fine Nya. Right Yugi-kun?''
''… I guess…'' Yugi says rather unsure, only ever watching Ryan's duel before the tournament. Ichigo and Jonouchi blink with the tricolor head, blushing, explains himself. ''I never watched the other duels, just Ichigo-kun's duel against that person.''
Ichigo makes a stun face with Jonouchi dropping his jaw. Even Mai overhearing that is left surprised; Yugi is never the type to miss a duel.
''DAMN IT. Where were you anyway?'' Jonouchi asks extremely frustrated where his best friend was forced to go. Yugi just sighs muttering upsetting. ''Long story.''
The two blink more not following.
Duel Screen: Turn 1_ Ryan: 4000LP H: 5 / Zigfried: 4000LP H: 5
''My turn. I draw!'' Ryan shouts drawing his top card of his next. He frowns really needed to be careful especially knowing that Zigfried can use Mischief of the Time Goddess.
''I start by summoning Noble Knight Artorigus!'' Ryan declares summoning a monster. Emerging forth is a young, short spiky brown headed man wearing a white, brown armor with reddish pants underneath his armor for his bottoms. He wields a beautiful great sword with golden vine-like guard.
Noble Knight Artorigus Lvl 4 ATK: 1800 DEF: 1800
Ryan eyes his other options and they weren't much. He sighs grabbing a card in his hand and says setting it. ''I set 1 card facedown.''
A face-down card materializes behind his knight as he proclaims. ''I end my turn.''
''Pretty slow start.'' Mai states the obvious. Jonouchi watches silently not blaming the guy; he would be struggling too, knowing how the guy works.
''Yea but knowing Ryan-kun, he's setting up to summon a big knight.'' Ichigo says pretty sure Ryan will Xyz or Synchro Summon, pretty sure.
Yugi frowns not familiar with Ryan's full strength, just muttering out. ''Um not sure.''
Jonouchi groans not believing he missed out on almost all the duels that went off in the tournament, complaining upset. ''That still really sucks! You missed out on me dueling and almost owning Kaiba!''
The tricolor head nods agreeing… until he startles and asks curious. ''Wait you almost beat Kaiba-kun?''
The darkened blond headed duelist panics, sweating as he sort of almost… while Kaiba had full control. Yugi didn't care asking him eagerly.
Ichigo forms a sinister grin, staring at Jonouchi who sweats heavily.
''L-Long story.'' He just mutters to Yugi, just something he rather explains another time… but mostly to avoid this conversation.
Duel Screen: Turn 2_ Ryan: 4000LP H: 4 / Zigfried: 4000LP H: 5
Zigfried chuckles a bit, amused by Ryan's field.
"Oh my, such an interesting field but will it helped you?'' He questions the lawyer's play. Ryan didn't say a word, just wanting him to start his turn. Zigfried just smirks declaring, drawing his top card. ''My turn. Draw.''
He draws his top card. He smirks eyeing the card and proceeds to play it. ''I begin by activating my spell, One for One. By discarding a monster card in my hand, I can Special Summon 1 Level 1 monster from my Deck to my field.''
He discards a monster and pulls out his Deck, searching for his monster. He picks his card and summons it. ''Appear, Valkyria Sechste.''
Emerging from the ceiling through a heavenly portal is a young girl riding on a white pony with black long manes and blue eyes. She's a short brunette with brown eyes, wearing a two piece tight outfit consider of a wide collar black top and shorts with blue belt and light blue open front skirts on the side and black, garter belt stockings with small blue boots. She also wears a small light blue cape, blue gloves, armored armbands and knee caps as well as golden horned accessory over her head and small golden face armor on both sides of her cheeks. She wields a small sword with golden guard-hilt.
Valkyrie Sechste Lvl 1 ATK: 0 DEF: 2000
Jonouchi gulps not seeing this monster before.
''Upon being Special Summoned, Sechste can Special Summon 1 Valkyrie monster from my Deck to my field.'' Zigfried announces as a card pops out. He grabs it and summons it. ''Now appear, Valkyria Erda!''
Descend from a similar heavenly portal is a beautiful woman with long pale white hair riding on a whiteish horse with blackish mane and blue eyes. She wears red, golden two piece outfit consider of a chest armor top and red skirt wrapped by a red belt with red, golden lining armor pads. She also wears red armored gloves, darkish red arm bands, stockings and red boots while wearing a red, golden feather-shaped crown. She wields a long sword and reddish brown, golden designed majestic shield with her left hand.
Valkyrie Erda Lvl 8 ATK: 2000 DEF: 2200
Zigfried lets out a chuckle, explaining his new monster's effect. ''If Special Summoned by a Valkyrie card's effect; Erda reduces the ATK of your face-up monsters by 1000.''
Ryan frowns worrying as Artorigus' ATK drops to 800. Zigfried isn't finished as he plays another card. ''But I'm not done as I activate the Continuous Spell, Goddess Skuld's Oracle!''
Appearing is a young maiden with blue hair and tied in long twintails. She has yellow eyes, wearing a lovely green dress with yellow short rope over her shoulders and sleeves. She also wears a silver tiara with red gem as well as for her forearms and a silver bracelet around her left arm. She wields a long staff with a red orb floating on the tip around a golden piece on top.
Jonouchi starts worrying as Zigfried proclaims. ''If I control a Valkyrie monster, I can add from my Deck another spell and I activate it, Goddess Verdande's Guidance.''
He adds a card and plays it too. Now appearing is a young woman with long pink hair and green eyes. She wears a beautiful blue, light blue dress with silver choker collar, belt and arm band on her left arm. She wears a silver tiara with red gem and wields a long staff with a green orb floating on the tip around golden pieces on its sides.
''And then it's effect upon activated, I can add another spell and I activate it too, Goddess Urd's Verdict!'' Zigfried then announces adding one more card and activates it. Appearing is a young woman with short blonde hair and blueish eyes. She wears an elegant shoulderless light pink dress with darkish green metal on the cleavage of the dress and as a belt. She wears a silver tiara with red gem in the center, silver fore arms and a silver bracelet on the left arm. She wields a long staff with a blue orb floating on the tip around 4 golden pieces with the top, left and right sides having smaller blue orbs floating and connecting them.
The three maids dance around Zigfried to Jonouchi's frustration, uttering out madden. ''Damn, not those cards.''
Ichigo blinks not following much.
Ryan just frowns aware what those cards do. Zigfried notices it and reveals as a card pops out from his Deck. ''Oh it gets worst. With all 3 on the field, from my Deck, I activate my Field Spell; Valhalla, Temple of the Valkyries!''
This shocks Jonouchi watching this, rubbing his face on the window. Ichigo sweat drops at his overreaction.
The entire field transforms, the ground becoming clouds and the blue sky materializes above them, Behind Zigfried reveals a large golden temple with multiple pure white temples on clouds. The large golden one has horse status with a large winged Pegasus statue on the top.
''Well that's new…'' Yugi comments unaware by this too. Kaiba groans in his private place, not surprise Zigfried would pull off new cards just to annoy him.
''First we begin with Oracle. During my Main Phase, I reveal the top 3 cards of your Deck and then place them at any order.'' Zigfried proclaims as Skuld winks and lifts up her staff, glowing. Ryan notices his deck glowing due to this, forcing him to do as the card says. He sighs pulling out his 3 cards and reveals them. Zigfried examines and forms a smirk to see Immortal Phoenix Gearfried being one of them.
''I choose to place Immortal Phoenix Gearfried on top, and the other 2 beneath it in those orders.'' Zigfried decides pointing at said card. Ryan frowns forced to do so, putting his ace monster on top of his Deck.
Zigfried smirks as he now announces. ''Now I activate Guidance. I declare 1 type of card from the top of your Deck and if I guess correctly, you must set it face-down on the field. Otherwise, add it to your hand.''
Verdande lifts up her staff side-ways, firmly and serious, as a green light surrounds her. Zigfried smirks deciding. ''I choose Monster.''
Ryan frowns drawing his top card and reveals Immortal Phoenix Gearfried.
''Lucky guess mate.'' He comments sarcastic. Zigfried just hums proclaiming. ''Far from it. I now activate Verdict. And with her effect, I declare 1 card name and target a Set card you control and if it is the declared name, it is banished.''
Urd, also glowing a blue aura; lifts up her staff glowing and shooting a beam from it.
''I declare Immortal Phoenix Gearfried.'' He decides as the beam hits the card and of course it was said monster, banishing it from the field. Ryan frowns forced to banish his ace monster from the duel.
''Great, now he can't handle Zigfried's monsters.'' Jonouchi points the obvious as that Immortal Phoenix can absorb Zigfried's Valkyries.
Zigfried isn't done proceeding. ''I now activate Sechste's effect, sending the top two cards from your Deck to your Graveyard. And while Valhalla, Temple of the Valkyries is on the field, a card effect that sends or destroys cards my opponent controls are banished instead of being sent to the Graveyard.''
Ryan frowns forced to banish his two top cards too.
''Now the situation is even worst Nya! He's going to banish Ryan's cards.'' Ichigo expresses worrying. Yugi watches calmly, able to tell Ryan isn't beaten yet.
''Now I activate my spell, Graceful Charity.'' Zigfried plays another card in his hand to Ichigo's irritation, muttering out. ''What a surprise Nya.''
Zigfried draws his 3 cards and then discards 2 cards. He smirks grabbing a card he drew and summons it. ''I summon Valkyrie Funfte.''
Descending from the sky is an older girl, riding on a similar but slightly older pony. She has darkish red hair with a long hair bang covering the left side of her face with brown eyes. She wears a very similar outfit like Sechste and weapon though she wields her sword with its scabbard.
Valkyrie Funfte Lvl 2 ATK: 800 DEF: 1200
''Funfte has the effect to send a Spell or Trap from my Deck to the Graveyard.'' He reveals sending a card from his Deck to the Graveyard as he then adds. ''Plus it grants all Valkyrie monsters to gain 200 ATK for each of my opponent's banished monsters. There are 2 right now so my Valkyries gain 400 ATK.''
Ryan isn't so consider by the small ATK boost until Zigfried reveals rather cocky. ''Also Valhalla, Temple of the Valkyries' other effect increases summoned Valkyrie monsters by 100 times its own Level and I gain Life Points by the same amount.''
His Life Points goes up to 4200LP while Funfte goes up to 1400ATK. Jonouchi is slightly worry but as long as Zigfried doesn't get that certain card, then Ryan will-
''Now I activate Ride of the Valkyries from my Graveyard, banishing it to add Mischief of the Time Goddess from my Deck to my hand!'' Zigfried proclaims banishing his spell to add his ultimate key card to his hand. Now Jonouchi is panicking wildly.
Zigfried chuckles slightly at his perfect luck, commanding. ''Battle! Erda, attack Artorigus!''
Erda shouts a warrior's cry, charging while mounted on her horse. She comes at the weaken Artorigus, trying to hold his sword up and on its flat side like a shield. It was a futile attempt as Erda prepares to swing down her foe but not to Ryan who shouts revealing his set card. ''I activate the Quick-Play Spell, Unbreakable Will!''
Jonouchi oddly smirks as a barrier surrounds Artorigus, replying Erda's mighty swing and pushing her back.
''This turn Artorigus cannot be destroyed by battle and I take no battle damage.'' Ryan explains calmly as he then adds discarding a card from his hand. ''Plus if I discard a card, I can draw 2 cards!''
He resumes by drawing 2 cards. Zigfried smirks rather astonished… slightly.
''Impressive… but futile.'' He states as he announces holding his key card and plays it. ''I end my Battle Phase to activate my trump card, Mischief of the Time Goddess!''
''OH NO!'' Jonouchi yells in horror. Ichigo sweat drops still not getting what's so special about one card.
''Now our turns skip till my next Battle Phase.'' Zigfried proclaims as the spell releases a wave, skipping into time slightly till it was the 4th turn and on Zigfried's new Battle Phase. Now Ichigo understood it in complete staggered, muttering out sounding very scared. ''B-but that means he can attack with his Valkyries and Ryan has no means to protect himself Nya!''
Jonouchi nods rapidly trying to explain this it to the block headed cat girl.
''Now Erda, attack once more!'' Zigfried orders as Erda charges again at Ryan's knight. Not let with many options, Ryan grabs a card from his hand and plays it. ''From my hand I activate the Trap, Bonds of the Noble Knights!''
This alarms Zigfried and everyone else as a card materializes on Ryan's field. It shows the image of young Artorigus letting out a passionate pose-like yell, helping restore the strength of his fellow Noble Knights.
''This card can be activated from my hand if I control Artorigus and releases a Noble Knight or Noble Arms card on my field.'' Ryan explains as Artorigus vanishes from his field. He then adds pulling out his deck and searches. ''Next I can Special Summon a Noble Knight monster from my Deck.''
He picks his card and summons it. ''Appear, Noble Knight Medraut!''
A blond headed man wearing an elegant silver-dark brown armor knight outfit appears wearing a torn red cape, wrapping around his neck like a scarf. He also wields a similar sword to Artorigus though different. He kneels in Defense Position.
Noble Knight Medraut Lvl 4 ATK: 1700 DEF: 1000
Zigfried just smirks at his silly attempt, proclaiming. ''No matter, Erda will attack that knight then.''
Erda resumes charge only for Ryan to announce. ''The second effect of Bonds of the Noble Knights forces my opponent to attack my newly summoned knight. And its third effect sends me a Noble Arms card from my Deck to prevent my knight's destruction.''
He sends an Equip Spell from his deck, protecting Medraut with a barrier from his trap. Zigfried scoffs a bit proceeding. ''Very well. Funfte will attack too.''
His younger Valkyrie charges and slashes the knight, forcing Ryan to send another Equip Spell to protect his monster's destruction.
''Not bad, you actually survive… for now.'' Zigfried proclaims rather amused by his opponent's resistance. Ryan doesn't say a word, staring calmly.
''I set a card facedown. My turn is over.'' Zigfried announces as a set card materializes face-down behind his monsters, finishing his turn. He then says doing a small bow to his opponent. ''Now show me your skills, sir knight.''
Ryan just frowns hoping he can turn the tide or else he won't survive.
Will Ryan be able to beat Zigfried on his next turn or is he already finished?
Commercial Break:
Zigfried: It seems this duel ended sooner than I had hope, sir knight.
Ryan: I can't lose here, not like this! I have to win, to reach my goal!
The duel continues as Ryan stares at his hand, having little options.
Duel Screen: Turn 5_ Ryan: 4000LP H: 4 / Zigfried: 4200LP H: 1
''… My turn again! Draw!'' He declares drawing his top card. He eyes it and doesn't say much, just getting something that will likely save him next turn. But for now he has this turn to deal with. He grabs another card from his hand and plays it. ''I activate the spell, Reinforcement of the Army! I now add a Level 4 or lower Warrior monster from my Deck to my hand.''
He searches and picks his monster as he then plays another search card. ''Next I activate the spell, Heritage of the Chalice. With this, I add a Noble Arms card.''
Zigfried hums watching as Ryan gets another card and then proceeds to play it. ''Next I equip Medraut with the Equip Spell, Noble Arms – Caliburn!''
A large darkish silver blade with a golden winged guard materializes with two glowing blue lining across the blade. Medraut grabs on the new sword, a malicious shadow of a fiend takes form as his shadow.
''Medraut gains 500 ATK plus once per turn I gain 500LP.'' Ryan explains as the sword shines and its holy rays shine up and then back down to Ryan. His Life Points go up to 4500LP. He then announces using his knight's effect. ''Next I use Medraut's effect, Special Summoning a Noble Knight monster from my Deck.''
Medraut releases a dark shadowy portal. Ryan pulls out his deck, picks his monster and summons it. ''I choose to summon Noble Knight Borz!''
Appearing is the same Noble Knight he used during the Raphael duel.
Noble Knight Borz Lvl 4 ATK: 1700 DEF: 900
''Next Calburn is destroyed but then its effect triggers, equipping itself to 1 Noble Knight monster and I choose Borz.'' Ryan explains as Medraut discards the sword, destroying itself as it then materializes and Borz grabs on it now, gaining its power.
''Now I use Caliburn's effect again, gaining 500LP.'' Ryan then adds as his Life Point goes up to 5000. He then resumes using Borz's ability. ''I also use Borz's effect, revealing 3 Noble Arms cards and then you pick one of them out of random while the rest are sent to the Graveyard.''
''As you wish.'' Zigfried accepts the terms. Ryan picks 3 cards from his deck, showing them before shuffling them and sets them on his field. 3 face-down cards materialize. Zigfried hums eyeing the set cards and picks the middle.
''Good pick.'' Ryan says sending the rest of his cards and adds the one he got. He then proceeds declaring. ''I now use Lady of the Lake's effect from my Graveyard. Since Borz becomes DARK attribute and 1 Level higher, my lady reduces his Level by 1 and then Special Summons herself from my Graveyard.''
Emerging though the ground, reflecting like water; is a beautiful young girl with long, gleaming blonde hair. She wears a silver, headband-like crown with two pink gems on each side. She also wears a beautiful blue-white elegant dress with puffy shoulder pads and silver bracelets on the arms, silver-like crest design on the chest and belt with a pair of lovely silver armored boots. She also wields the majestic Noble Arms – Excaliburn. Borz's Level drops to 4.
Lady of the Lake Lvl 1 ATK: 200 DEF: 1800
Ichigo gasps as that must have been the card he sent from Unbreakable Will.
''I overlay the Level 4 Noble Knights Medraut and Borz!'' Ryan announces as his two monsters become swirls of light and dark and shoots upward. ''With both, I create the Overlay Network!''
A galaxy-like vortex materializes below the ground as the lights shoot downward and shines.
''Nobility and justice, courage and chevalier; appear before me and grant victory for your fellow knights!'' Ryan starts chanting as the portal expands and explodes with him shouting. ''Xyz Summon! Descend knight of knights! Rank 4! Artorigus, King of the Noble Knights!''
Appearing before is an older Artorigus who is wearing new heavy silver, golden lining and blue glowing lining armor with fur across it. He wears a furry bottom end red cape, a thin tiara forehead and wields a large version of his old sword, now glowing blue lining across it too.
Artorigus, King of the Noble Knights Rank 4 ATK: 2000 DEF: 2000
Ichigo gasps amazingly. Ryan then says firmly. ''Artorigus' effect targets up to 3 Noble Arms Equip Spells with different names from my Graveyard and equip them to himself.''
3 cards pop out from his Graveyard slot, reveal them and he shouts playing them. ''I choose Noble Arms – Caliburn, Clarent and Infernoble Arms – Hauteclere!''
Other than Caliburn and the twin dagger weapons, Clarent is a large sword with golden vine-like pattern across the blade. Artorigus gains their powers becoming energy swirls surrounding him.
''I use Caliburn's effect, I gain another 500LP.'' Ryan then says as his Life Points once more goes up at 5500LP. He then proceeds revealing a monster from his hand. ''I banish Evocator Chevalier from my hand to Special Summon Infernoble Knight –Astolfo to the field!''
His fire warrior banishes as a burst of flames form. Emerging from the flames is a feminine male with similar red, yellow stripe hairstyle like most Infernoble Knights but his is slightly longer up to his shoulders as well as wearing headbands on both sides of his hair and golden accessories on both sides of his cheeks. He wears a more feminine-like knight's robes of similar white, red-black color scheme with a blue ribbon tie too. He wears the same black, red outline fiery cape but wider, more bat-like as well as coattails from the main outfit. He wields a fiery sword, posing it very feminine.
Infernoble Knight – Astolfo Lvl 1 ATK: 500 DEF: 200
Jonouchi sweat drops not sure how to feel about this… really disturbing monster.
''Astolfo's Level becomes the Level of the banished monster.'' Ryan explains as Astolfo winks, going up as a Level 4. He then proceeds. ''I now tune the Level 4 Infernoble Knight – Astolfo with the Level 1 Tuner Lady of the Lake!''
Lady of the Lake flies up as did Astolfo. The beautiful blonde becomes a green circle surrounding the Infernoble Knight who becomes 4 fiery stars.
''Knight of darkness, consume everything in the blackness with your blade and destroy all opposing you!'' Ryan chants as the starts and ring shine and shoots a green light from it. He shouts loudly. ''Synchro Summon! Knight of darkness transform! Level 5! Ignoble Knight of High Laundsallyn!''
Emerging from the green light is darkness, consume rapidly into red beams that cut through it. It reveals a man with long black hair and enraged glowing red eyes, wearing a jet black colored armor with red lining and metal dots across it. He wears a faceless helmet with a black cape while wielding two swords: a black, golden and red lining blade with twin edges and a black hilt-guard, red energy blade. He grins evilly with a dark ghostly spirit resembling Lady of the Lake behind him.
Ignoble Knight of High Laundsallyn Lvl 5 ATK: 2100 DEF: 900
''Lady of the Lake is banished if used as material for a Synchro Summon.'' Ryan though states banishing his Lady due to her effect but then adds on firmly. ''Laundsallyn, when it is Synchro Summoned, equips a Noble Arms Equip Spell from my Deck to itself!''
He pulls out his Deck again and picks his card, playing it. ''I choose Noble Arms – Gallatin! Now Laundsallyn gains 1000 ATK!''
Laundsallyn lets out a battle cry, almost monstrous, as his ATK shoots up to 2100 due to Erda still on the field. Zigfried smirks at his assumption, questioning him. ''Will that be more than enough against me?''
Ryan didn't explain as he announces. ''I detach a Xyz Material from Artorigus to activate his effect.''
One of his glowing orbs enters inside the King of the Noble Knights, engulfing him in golden aura. He raises his sword now gaining a blue aura.
''I now destroy any number of your Spell and Traps up to the number of Noble Arms Equip Spells I control!'' Ryan explains as Artorigus raises his sword and then he shouts. ''Noble Wave Force!''
Artorigus swings his sword and fires a powerful wave, splitting into 4 parts.
''Valhalla, Temple of the Valkyries cannot be destroyed while I control a Goddess or Valkyrie card.'' Zigfried immediately announces as his attempts to destroy his card won't work but Ryan was already aware of them, making his choices. ''I destroy your Goddess cards and your set card!''
The energy waves hit the rest of Zigfried's backrow cards, destroying them. The set destroyed trap reveals and materializes a woman with beautiful long golden hair, wearing a pure white dress with silver bracelets, belt, necklace and tiara. She wields a red apple as she laughs menacing before vanishing.
''Since Apple of Enlightenment was destroyed while set, I can draw cards equal to the number of Valkyrie monsters I control +1.'' Zigfried explains with a smug, calm smirk. ''So I draw 4 cards!''
He draws his 4 cards from his deck. Zigfried eyes his new hand and smirks telling his naïve opponent. ''That still isn't enough. Erda still weakens your knight's power.''
Ryan didn't care as he then announces. ''I banish Noble Arms – Excaliburn from my Graveyard to activate its effect.''
''Excaliburn?'' Zigfried mutters out puzzle, not one of the cards among that were sent away. It reveals the sword Laundsallyn was using but glowing both red and blue, symbolizing that it could be used for good or evil.
Ryan had sent it before thanks to Bonds of the Noble Knights' effect as he explains. ''I can target 1 Noble Knight Xyz Monster I control and summon a new Noble Knight Xyz Monster with a different name, attaching itself and its Xyz Materials as that monster's Xyz Materials!''
Artorigus becomes a swirl of energy as it dives into another galaxy-like portal.
''King of purest courage, transcend past death and evolve with nobility in your heart!'' Ryan chats as the portal shines and explodes into colorful stars and lights, shouting out. ''Xyz Summon! Ascend true king of knights! Rank 5! Sacred Noble Knight of King Artorigus!''
Emerging from the portal is a new Noble Knight. He is Artorigus as King of the Noble Knights but now the blue glowing lining across his armor is leaking out almost like smoke, making him stronger as he now wields the twin-ended sword of Laundsallyn but glowing blue than red.
Sacred Noble Knight of King Artorigus Rank 5 ATK: 2200 DEF: 2200
Zigfried frowns a little annoyed by this resistance as Ryan announces. ''King Artorigus has the same effect as the original, equipping itself up to 3 Noble Arms cards!''
He reequips the previously 3 Noble Arms to the upgraded Artorigus, using Caliburn again. ''I use Caliburn's effect again, I gain 500LP!''
Ryan's Life Points goes up to 6000 as he then declares using his knight's new effect. ''I now use King Artorigus' effect, detaching 1 of its Xyz Materials to destroy 1 other monster on the field and I choose Erda!''
Artorigus swings back with both swords and swirl swings them forward.
''Sacred Wave Force!'' Ryan shouts with his king firing dual energy waves with his swinging swords, blasting them upon Erda, thus destroying the Valkyrie. Zigfried braces himself as Ryan's monsters ATK were restored and went up like they should.
Ryan then announces using his other Equip Spell. ''I pay 500 of my Life Points to activate Noble Arms – Clarent, allowing the equipped Artorigus to attack directly.''
His Life Points drop to 5500 as Artorigus gains a white aura, allowing him to attack past his opponent's monsters. Ryan then uses his third Equip Spell. ''I also activate Infernoble Arms – Hauteclere, destroying itself so Artorigus can attack twice during this Battle Phase but I cannot attack with other monsters.''
Artorigus now glows in a red fiery aura, able to attack twice.
''Battle! Artorigus, attack Zigfried directly!'' Ryan commands with Artorigus charging forward, passing by all of Zigfried's monsters and going after him directly.
''Sacred Sword Strike!'' He shouts as his king swings his left sword first right at the opponent. Zigfried reacts quickly banishing a card from his Graveyard and announces. ''I banish Escort with the Valkyrie from my Graveyard, I negate your attack.''
The banished card shows the image of Valkyrie Zweite guarding a few innocents against demonic fiends. A barrier forms and blocks Artorigus' sword swing, pushing him back slightly.
''But I can still attack twice! Go Artorigus!'' Ryan still proceeds making his next attack with his Knight. Artorigus swings with 2700 of ATK and slashes the enemy. Zigfried braces himself taking the 2700LP of damage, leaving him with 1500LP.
Ryan sighs wanting to finish this in one blow but this will have to do. He can't attack with Laundsallyn this turn so all he can do is finish his turn.
''I set a card and end my turn.'' He declares rather sad, setting a face-down card behind his knights, ending his turn.
Duel Screen: Turn 6_ Ryan: 5500LP H: 2 / Zigfried: 1500LP H: 5
Zigfried did not expect his opponent to pull off all these combos no less pushing him this far. Still, he'll end his luck here and now.
"My turn!'' Zigfried announces drawing his top card. He slightly smirks before declaring using his younger Valkyrie's effect. ''I use Sechste's effect, sending the top 2 cards of your Deck away and due to Valhalla, Temple of the Valkyries' effect, those cards are banished.''
Ryan frowns banishing his top 2 cards of his deck away. Zigfried wasn't done as he plays the card he drew. ''I activate the spell, Goddess's Last Demand.''
It shows the image of Verdande using her last of her power to save the life of the defeated Brunhilde with her power.
''With this, I can release a Valkyrie monster I control to add 1 Spell that is in my Graveyard or banished. I release Sechste.'' Zigfried explains as his little Valkyrie vanishes and he adds the spell he banished before, activating it immediately. ''I choose Ride of the Valkyrie and activate it, summoning as many different Valkyrie monsters from my hand!''
Ryan watches scared. Zigfried lets out a few chuckles, summoning almost his entire hand. ''I summon forth Valkyrie Dritte, Zweite, Erste and Brunhilde.''
Ascending from the majestic heavens were four older women, around their mid-20s riding on their flying wingless horses.
Dritte is a spiky red haired, brown eyed woman wearing a two-piece silver armor with the silver cape and blue metal sharp shoulder pads, gloves and boots. She wears a wider winged head crown and cheek guards and a golden necklace with a red gem in the middle. She wields a wider sword and a small shield with the image of a golden phoenix.
Valkyrie Dritte Lvl 4 ATK: 1000 DEF: 1600
Zweite is a long pink haired, greenish eyed woman wearing a similar two-piece armor outfit and equipment to Dritte.
Valkyrie Zweite Lvl 5 ATK: 1600 DEF: 1600
Ersete is a long greenish teal haired, purple-ish eyed woman also wearing the same two-piece armor outfit and equipment like her fellow Valkyries.
Valkyrie Erste Lvl 6 ATK: 1600 DEF: 1800
Brunhilde is a long blue haired, blue eyed woman also wearing the same two-piece armor out and equipment like her fellow Valkyries but hers is more blueish and she wears a silver-ish golden lining helmet over her head with golden winged ends and her necklace is slightly bigger than the others.
Valkyrie Brunhilde Lvl 7 ATK: 1800 DEF: 2000
Jonouchi sweats out of fear knowing well how bad these ladies were.
''Dritte's effect adds me a Valkyrie card from my Deck to my hand while Zweite destroys a monster you control and finally Erste's effect lets me add Mischief of the Time Goddess from my Graveyard to my hand.'' Zigfried announces using almost all of their effects at once. He also then adds. ''Also Valhalla, Temple of the Valkyries' effect activates.''
Ryan startles worrying. Due to the Field Spell; Dritte gains 400 ATK, Zweite gains 500 ATK, Erste gains 600 ATK and Brunhilde gains 700 ATK while Zigfried gains the same amount into his Life Points. His LP gains 2200LP, shooting up to 3700LP.
''I destroy your Laundsallyn.'' Zigfried decides through Zweite who raises her sword and a bolt of lightning strikes down from the sky right at the dark knight. Ryan reacts fast triggering his set card. ''I activate the trap, The Last Battle of the Noble Arms!''
His set card flips over, showing the image of King Artorigus having his final battle against Laundsallyn and the deciding conclusion for the Noble Knights.
''By releasing a Noble Knight I control, I send a card that has Noble Knight or Noble Arms in its text from my Deck to the Graveyard.'' Ryan announces tributing Laundsallyn, dodging Zweite's effect. He then sends a card from his Deck to the Graveyard.
''Fine then.'' Zigfried mutters disappointed as he plays another card from his hand. ''I activate the spell, Valkyrie's Embrace. I switch Zweite to Defense Position and next I banish your Artorigus.''
Zweite goes into Defense while Artorigus is banished instantly from the field.
''He's wide open Nya!'' Ichigo gasps in horror. Jonouchi agrees with her.
''Now battle.'' Zigfried proclaims as he then adds. ''Dritte gains 200 for each of your banished monster. Attack first!''
She gains 800 extra ATK, going up to 2600. He wasn't done as he adds. ''Erste's effect can banish a monster from your Graveyard so her ATK becomes the same as the banished monster's ATK. And I choose Laundsallyn!''
''That means Dritte will gain another 200 ATK and give him a better chance to OTK the lawyer.'' Jonouchi mutters out in terror. Yugi agrees… though the look Ryan says otherwise.
Zigfried smirk excitedly that he has won.
''That won't happen.'' Ryan, however, protests quickly chaining the trap he played earlier. ''The Last Battle of the Noble Arms has another effect. The card I sent to my Graveyard can be activated from my Graveyard.''
A card pops out from his Graveyard slot. Ryan grabs it and shouts playing it. ''And the card I sent is the trap, Avalon!''
''Avalon?'' Zigfried mutters out puzzle, not aware what it does.
Ryan gladly explains what this card does with a lore history. ''The battle the Noble Knights went through and suffer greatly. By banishing 5 Noble Knights, including at least Laundsallyn and Artorigus, I destroy all cards you control!''
''Was?!''Zigfried utters out in Germany ''What'' as the field is wrapped up in a vortex. The vortex absorbs and sucks up all of Zigfried's cards, most of all his Valkyries.
Jonouchi blinks taken back, muttering out. ''He actually survived?''
''And prevented him from using his Mischief of the Time Goddess too.'' Yugi comments with a small smirk, actually impressive.
Zigfried loses his composure, not expecting this could even happen. Ryan doesn't express much joy, just pointing out firmly. ''You enter your Battle Phase too early mate. Now you can't use your favourite card.''
''… When I control no Goddess or Valkyrie monsters, Valhalla, Temple of the Valkyries is destroyed.'' Zigfried, not answering him, simply points out the weakness to his Field Spell as it vanishes. The field reverts back to its original state. However, Zigfried isn't finished yet. He enters his Main Phase 2 and plays the other card in his hand. ''I activate the spell, Monster Reborn! With it, I bring back Valkyrie Sechste!''
Reappearing is Sechste in Defense Position.
Valkyrie Sechste Lvl 1 ATK: 0 DEF: 2000
''I use Sechste's effect, Special Summon Valkyrie from my Deck.'' Zigfried announces, searching through his Deck for the last trump card he has left. He grabs it and summons it. ''Appear, Valkyrie Sigrun!''
Descend while riding on a beautiful white horse with grey manes and wearing a golden emblem resembling 4 wings, is a beautiful woman with long black hair with darkish eyes. She wears a purple, golden lining heavy armor with a purple, pink lacing skirt as well as a purple cape. She also wears a golden multi-winged crown over her head and wields a long golden lance in her left hand.
Valkyrie Sigrun Lvl 9 ATK: 2200 DEF: 2400
Kaiba glares watching how bothersome Zigfried when admitting defeat.
''Upon being summoned, Sigrun can Special Summon a Level 8 or lower Valkyrie monster from my hand or Graveyard.'' Zigfried explains with a small smirk, summoning back the perfect Valkyrie for this. ''Reappear, Valkyrie Erda!''
Emerging is Erda, pointing her sword at the enemy.
Valkyrie Erda Lvl 8 ATK: 2000 DEF: 2200
''Great…'' Jonouchi mutters as Erda's effect is in effect, decreasing 1000 ATK from Ryan's monsters.
''I might not have many options but now you can't touch me. I end my turn.'' Zigfried declares chuckling, calling it a turn.
Duel Screen: Turn 7_ Ryan: 5500LP H: 2 / Zigfried: 1300LP H: 1
''…'' Ryan stares silent, looking at his limited options. Zigfried notices this and he smirks going to use it in his advantage.
''It seems our duel is coming to a close but I am impressed.'' He slowly proclaims and then states. ''Though you don't look like you're enjoying it.''
Ryan stares at him a bit annoyed, not going to answer him. Zigfried smirks able to see through him and expresses. ''Your last duel you had passion but now it's all dry and non-existed.''
Once more Ryan had no comment. Zigfried pushes it saying. ''It's almost like you lost all enjoyment. Almost like it is dead.''
''… Are you done?'' Zigfried raises an eyebrow by Ryan finally speaking up, staring bothered and adds resolutely. ''I don't plan to lose, not while I'm this close to my goal.''
Zigfried now gives a confusion look, not following what he's saying. Breathing calmly, Ryan draws his top card and plays it. ''I activate the spell, Pot of Greed! I draw 2 cards.''
He draws his two cards and upon drawing his second card, he oddly smiles. Ryan stares at it, finally getting what he wanted.
''I activate the Equip Spell, D.D.R. – Different Dimension Reincarnation.'' Ryan announces playing an Equip Spell and explains it. ''By discarding a card, I can Special Summon one of my banished monsters and equip this card to it.''
''Was?!'' Zigfried expresses once more in Germany. Ryan discards a card and grabs a card he was forced to banish, a monster card, and starts chanting as flames materialize around him. "Oh warrior who flows with the power of fire! And whose body carries the flames of the phoenix! Now, blazing inferno, ascend to godhood!
The flames swirl around together like a vortex, spinning rapidly and hotter. Ryan then calls forth proudly. ''Now emerge! Knight of flames that burn through the darkness, Immortal Phoenix Gearfried!"
Emerging out of the blazing flames is Immortal Phoenix Gearfried, posing strongly and fiery letting out a strong shout.
Immortal Phoenix Gearfried Lvl 9 ATK: 3000 DEF: 2200
Zigfried sweats a bit though he's still confident. With Erda present, that Gearfried loses 1000 ATK and even if it absorbs one of his Valkyries, he won't have enough damage.
''To think you had a card to summon that monster but I'm not concerned.'' Zigfried points out confident. Ryan ignores his concerns and proceeds revealing a monster in his hand. ''I equip Gearfried with Infernoble Knight – Roland, becoming an Equip Card and increasing my warrior's ATK by 500!''
The flames of Roland wraps around Gearfried, shooting him up to 2500ATK.
Zigfried startles in shock but partly, still protesting. ''It's still nothing!''
Ryan isn't finish playing the last card in his hand. ''I activate the Quick-Play Spell, Swords at Dawn! I can target and equip an Equip Spell from my Graveyard to a monster I control.''
Zigfried staggers as Ryan picks the perfect card he needs. ''I choose Noble Arms – Clarent!''
The sword materializes as Gearfried grabs on it. He then proceeds playing its effect. ''I pay 500 of my Life Points, now Immortal Phoenix can attack directly!''
Gearfried shouts engulf in a bright aura while Ryan's Life Points drops to 5000.
''Battle! Immortal Phoenix, attack my opponent directly!'' Ryan orders as Gearfried takes flight, over Zigfried's monsters, and then uses his monster's effect during the attack. ''Immortal Phoenix's effect equips another face-up monster on the field and it becomes an Equip Card for itself, gaining 500 ATK! I choose Erda!''
Gearfried shouts swinging his sword-shield and fires a fire whip, wrapping around the Valkyrie.
''Flame Soul!'' Ryan shouts as Gearfried absorbs Erda with his flames. Now no longer present, his ATK shoots up dramatically into 4000ATK. Zigfried sweats, not having the means to survive this.
''Now go! God Phoenix Blade!'' Ryan chants with Gearfried, responding to his master's will, dives forward extending his main sword engulf in flames and slashes through Zigfried.
"GAAAAAH!'' Zigfried shouts in pain as the slash proceeds flames, burning him, as his Life Points hit down to 0.
Duel Screen: Winner… Ryan Quint: 5000LP vs. Zigfried von Schroeder: 0LP
Ryan lets out a deep sigh as their monsters vanish. Zigfried pants one kneeling, the flames vanishing off of him. He did not expect to lose like that.
The audience cheers amazingly by the last turns, not expecting such a turn around.
"And it's over, Ryan-boy has overcome Zigfried!'' Pegasus proclaims astonished himself. He has said Ryan-boy was special but to turn the tide against Valkyries shows it more so. He then declares rather sad. ''Well ladies and gentlemen; I supposed Day 2 of our grand tournament is over-''
''NOT YET!'' Immediately protesting, Kaiba steps up onto the stage serious. Pegasus chuckles rather astonished, teasing. ''My, here's our other host.''
Kaiba snatches the microphone from him and announces through it. ''We'll end today after one more duel!''
Everyone blinks not understanding what he's saying about one more duel… Yugi, however, did sadly.
''After all, the one you've all wanted to see has arrived.'' Kaiba then says with sinister smirk. This shocks the audience with Ichigo yelling out angrily, now getting why he wanted Yugi to come back. ''OH NO HE DIDN'T NYA!''
''Why am I not surprised?'' Yugi mutters puzzle by Kaiba's logic.
Kaiba snaps his fingers as his large bingo machine appears through the ground behind him, declaring. ''So today we have one more duel and this duel will happen today as soon as my Bingo Machine decides who his opponent will be. And this duelist is none other than the Duel King himself!''
The crowd explodes in massive cheers with the others of Team Dragon Knight really awe that Yugi is back… and without saying hello? Probably Kaiba's doing. Judai, however, is cheering excitedly along with the crowd.
Kaiba smirks hearing these cheers and more so that he doubled his own chances to becoming Yugi's opponent. And if not him, Mai too so he can at least duel him in the third round. Either way, Kaiba will personally pull this Diederick Baumeister out of his tournament by dueling him instead and letting Momomiya having her second chance… if she even wants it. At this point, she might. Kaiba wouldn't allow this… but the woman defeated him once and Kisara would likely be happy for his act.
''So let's get this show on the road. Activate the randomize Mokuba.'' Kaiba, pressing on his communication collar, orders his younger brother. He gets Mokuba's reply through the collar. ''On it!''
The machine begins to activate, shooting out multiple balls in it. The one assuming to be Diederick Baumeister lifts up his covered face partly and a red flash is seen, gazing upon the Bingo Machine much like before. The machine begins to error out but Mokuba was fast on the draw, seeing it happening.
''There!'' He shouts reprogramming around the glitch so the machine will shoot out properly and likely either his brother or Mai. He smiles finally fixing this problem.
''Nii-san, I caught the glitch. We should be-'' Mokuba's voice begins informing his older brother until a sound rings on Mokuba's screen: Another error glitch. He startles as the machine starts glowing a brief moment, Kaiba detecting it with his visor's headset.
''Mokuba, what's wrong?'' He demands unease. Mokuba was trying to overwrite the glitch but it wasn't working like earlier. He grunts upset.
''Damn. Sorry Nii-san, another glitch.'' Mokuba finally answers back to Kaiba's fury. Soon the machine spits out a ball. Pegasus walks up to grab it. The ball reveals Ryan's name. The creator oddly smiles, not sure on the chances, but now Ryan can gain his wish looking at him.
From afar, Akumu watches this with a sinister grin. He did promise he would wreck this tournament to see his niece defeated but he'll do it by also killing Yugi once and for all. Kill two birds with one stone.
Kaiba growls not believing this happening again. The mic was snatch back by Pegasus who announces pleased with the results.''Well it seems Ryan Quint-boy will be going up against Yugi-boy!''
Ryan startles greatly, not expecting that… and yet he couldn't bring himself to smile even if he was happy. He turns and looks up at the duelist VIP room's window while Yugi is staring down back down. Ichigo watches the tricolor head, oddly worry about this duel.
Yugi is forced back to the tournament and now must face Ryan. Will their duel reveal more to what Ryan is aiming for or what the Dark Lord is up to?
To be continued…
