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 68: Beyond Loneliness! The Passion of Dueling Mates!
In the previous episode of DKR:
The duel between Yugi and Ryan changed up with Ryan playing the dangerous Darkness Castle of the Ignoble Knights; one of the few cards the Dark Lord placed in his Deck to corrupt his mind and soul with the desire to win and destroy Yugi. With this new card, Ryan was able to bring out more powerful monsters such as Darkness Ignoble Knight of Lord Laundsallyn and Darkness Ignoble Knight of Shadow Gearfried. With both monsters, Yugi was placed in a bad bind but he didn't give up as he won't accept Ryan give up his knightly nature to the darkness. Yugi prepared to remind him attempt a new fusion with White-Horned Dragon and Timaeus.
While that duel was going on, another duel began as Kaiba decided to crush the Dark Lord now before him with the evil dragon chuckling as he too wanted to crush the prideful duelist's soul. The duel started bad with the Dark Lord summoning a Darkness version of Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Darkness-Eyes White Dragon. It not only became a wall but also mocked Kaiba's pride, even stopping the dangerous Blue-Eyes Twin Burst Dragon. However, Kaiba turned the tables with ABC-Dragon Cannon, getting rid of the Dark Lord's monster however the evil dragon was still confident.
What could the Dark Lord be up to? And will Yugi remind Ryan the joy of dueling.
What will happen now?
And now the conclusion... last left off in the previous episode:
Kaiba's duel against the Dark Lord continues as the evil dragon grins at his current position but also sensing his guinea pig tormenting Yugi with his hatred. He smirks certain Yugi will fall and so will Kaiba.
Kaiba's Life Points: 2000
Field: ABC-Dragon Cannon, Union Hanger, 1 Set Spell/Trap Card
Hand: 2
Dark Leader Dragon's Life Points: 4000
Field: Darkness Gardna
Hand: 2
''Here I come.'' The Dark Lord taunts now his turn.
Duel Screen: Turn 6_ Kaiba: 2000LP H: 2 / Dark Leader Dragon: 4000LP H: 2
''My turn.'' He declares drawing his top card and gazes it. His pupils oddly shrink and he licks his lips evilly. ''Perfect.''
Kaiba stares unease as the Dark Lord plays the cad he drew. ''I activate the Spell, Darkness Greed!''
A darker, more twisted eviler black version of Pot of Greed materializes. It then shatters.
''Since I control a Darkness card, I draw 3 cards!'' He shouts drawing 3 cards. Kaiba glares not worry as he'll stop him from summoning a Wicked God. But the Dark Lord already had a plan.
''I activate the spell, Darkness Transcend!'' He announces playing a new Darkness card. It shows the image of a reverse Celestial Transformation except with the figured Annihilator Archfiend consumed in darkness.
''By releasing a Darkness monster, I can Normal Summon a monster, ignoring the require tributes!'' The Dark Lord explains releasing Darkness Gardna before Kaiba could even respond to this.
''Come forth from thy dark realm and let my foes be overwhelmed! Fill their hearts with darkest fear! Show them that their end is near and all their hopes will turn to ashes! You are the strongest; there's no dispute your terror and make them never forget it!'' The Dark Lord chants, rising the card, as the blimp even shakes due to its violent power as he calls upon it. ''Come forth, Wicked God Dreadroot!''
From the ground emerges a giant fiend, looking human-like with bone-like body armor and helmet with large skeleton-like wings.
Wicked God Dreadroot Lvl 10 ATK: 4000 DEF: 4000
Kaiba stares up at the massive Wicked God, reminded of the beating Yako Tenma gave him with his Dreadroot-Avatar combination. The Dark Lord then grins aware of that event taunting him. ''I'm aware of Yako's beatdown he gave you with Dreadroot.''
The CEO duelist glares coldly at the evil dragon still grinning.
''Let's repeat that shall we? Do you want me to remind you of its effect?'' The Dark Lord asks him but Kaiba gave no reply. He still smirks telling him regardless. ''Anyway, your monsters' ATK and DEF are halved.''
Dragon Buster's ATK drops to 1500.
''Battle. Dreadroot, present Kaiba his end!'' Dark Leader Dragon announces as Dreadroot extends back its fists and commands as his monster throws forward its dark energy fists. ''Dark Beatdown!''
The demonic God throws its fists at Dragon Buster, about to beat it into pieces but Kaiba counters triggering his set card. ''Reverse Counter Trap open, Negate Attack!''
His trap flips and forms a barrier stopping Dreadroot's attack.
''Tch, you're no fun.'' The Dark Lord comments annoy by his resistance. He eyes his hand and declares setting a card. ''I set a card facedown. I'm done for now.''
A face-down card materializes behind Dreadroot ending his turn. The black dragon still smirks confident in his win on both fronts.
''Once I'm done with you, I'll finally have my time watching Yugi's annihilation. Hahaha…'' The Dark Lord states with slight chuckles. He licks his lips looking forward to see that brat's dead body and him gone.
''… You really think things will go your way?'' The black dragon stops his thinking and gazes at Kaiba questioning his plot and calls him off firmly. ''It won't, that much I can tell you. You'll fail and you'll see why soon enough.''
The Dark Lord instantly growls angrily by what he said. He's wrong, the brat can't win and he won't.
The crowd watches as the duel between Yugi and Ryan are reaching its climax with the tricolor head performing a new Fusion.
Yugi's Life Points: 500
Field: Dark Magician the Dragon Knight, Chocolate Magician Girl, White-Horned Dragon, Timaeus, the Legendary Dragon of Hope, Swords of Revealing Light, Magical Armor of Magicians, Eternal Soul, and Magicians' Defense.
Hand: 0
Ryan's Life Points: 200
Field: Darkness Ignoble Knight of High Laundsallyn, Darkness Ignoble Knight of Shadow Gearfried, Ignoble Knight of Black Laundsallyn, Noble Knight Eachtar, Darkness Castle of the Ignoble Knights, Magnum Shield, Noble Arms of Thrusting, and 1 Set Spell/Trap Card.
Hand: 1
The others watch wanting to do more but all they can do is watch Yugi about to do probably something awesome to help stop the lawyer duelist controlled by the Dark Lord's Darkness Cards.
''Yugi, please don't let Ryan abandon who he is.'' Erika pleads mentally that he can save him.
The light that formed between White-Horned and Timaeus shines as Yugi chants. ''Dragon of legend, transcend past your limits and shine brighter than before with your horn of hope!''
Both dragons start merging and fusing together.
''Fusion Summon! Transcend!'' Yugi shouts as the light shows a figure coming out of it, calling it forth. ''Hope-Horned Legend Dragon!''
Emerging through the light is a new dragon that resembles White-Horned Dragon. Its red scaled body has white scales on its chest, sharper shoulders, wrists and ankles. Its sharper wings now have white in the inner portion and they were quadruple. Its claws are glowing brighter and its horn looks more like a widened blade and longer plus sharper. Its yellow eyes glow brightly and dragon pupils with a crimson colored gem on its chest. The dragon roars loudly, echoing an almost smooth voice of passion.
Hope-Horned Legend Dragon Lvl 7 ATK: 2500 DEF: 1700
Ichigo widens her smile uttering out. ''White-Horned's evolution Nya!''
Jonouchi grins flexing his right arm manly with Mai finding it impressed.
''Hope-Horned's effect upon summon banishes all Spell and Trap cards you control!'' Yugi proclaims using his new dragon's power as it roars loudly. ''Hope Driver!''
Its horn glows as its energy glow and extends. It then swings it at Ryan's field, going to consume and destroy his Spell and Traps but Ryan is prepared triggering his set card.
''Reverse Trap open, Memory Loss!'' He shouts as his trap flips over glowing. ''With it, I negate your Attack Position monster's effect and change it to Defense Position!''
Ichigo panics as did Jonouchi. Yugi, however, smirks objecting. ''It won't work. Hope-Horned is unaffected by Spell and Trap cards.''
Ryan looks upset but now he can finally beat Yugi countering. ''Then I chain and use Shadow Gearfried's effect, detaching 2 Xyz Materials to send that many cards on the field to the Graveyard.''
Both the orbs the mad armored knight is absorb within his sword. He raises it as Ryan decides his picks. ''I'll send your new dragon and Eternal Soul.''
Mai startles revealing in panic. ''The effect doesn't target which means Yugi's dragon knight monster can't protect it.''
Shadow Gearfried unleashes burst of dark lightning from the sky, striking both Yugi's new dragon and his trap, vaporizing them. Like Mai confirmed, Dark Magician the Dragon Knight couldn't protect her.
''With Eternal Soul gone, all of your monsters are destroyed!'' Ryan proclaims as the trap vaporizes the last of Yugi's monster but Ryan's cards in his Spell and Trap Zones were gone as well as the dark castle.
The crowd just stares a bit taken back as Yugi has no monsters or cards left. Ryan sighs a bit seemingly having won… until he hears chuckling.
''Haha…'' Yugi oddly begins laughing a bit. Ryan stares taken back with Judai smiling.
''I'm enjoying this duel to be honest!'' Yugi declares with a wide smile still chuckling. Ryan just stares confused, uttering out puzzled. ''You're… having fun?''
Yugi nods smiling as he explains. ''A duel is about having fun. Even if you want to get back what you never had, a duel is supposed to fill those sadness and doubts with joy and excitement.''
''…'' Ryan just stares speechless. Could he be right? He shakes thoughts as he can still win proclaiming. ''I use Darkness Castle of the Ignoble Knights' last effect. If it leaves the field, I can perform a Fusion Summon.''
Yugi startles as a dark Fusion portal materializes above Ryan's monsters. He has to do something revealing. ''I chain and use Magical Armor of Magician's effect. If it leaves the field, I can add a card that has Dark Magician or Dark Magician Girl in its text from my Deck to my hand.''
He adds a card from his Deck to his hand as Ryan performs his Fusion. ''I fuse Lord Laundsallyn and Shadow Gearfried plus 2 more DARK Noble Knights.''
Black Laundsallyn and Eachtar leap up above with the other Ignoble Knights, all merging together.
''Bind by absolute darkness, knight of destruction born to destroy those with the swords of power! Consume and annihilate!'' Ryan chants as the portal leaks out heavy darkness calling forth. ''Fusion Summon! Emerge! Darkness Ignoble Knight of Emperor Laundsallyn!''
Emerging out of the dark portal is a new Laundsallyn, wearing a more royal armor resembling Shadow Gearfried but with a faceless helmet as his skin has turn grey and wielding a completely darker version of Excalibur. He had a more twisted grin and his eyes pure black than red though his whole body has a bloody red aura surrounding him.
Darkness Ignoble Knight of Emperor Laundsallyn Lvl 11 ATK: 4400 DEF: 3000
Erika worries in terror as she can sense such evil from this card. Ryan pants the darkness around him growing darker explaining. ''Emperor Laundsallyn's effect equips 3 Equip Cards from my Deck to himself.''
He pulls out his deck and picks his 3 cards, materializing them to his field. ''I choose Noble Arms of Unity, Noble Arms of Destiny and Noble Arms – Death Arfeudutyr.''
On top of the surrounding swirl of energy and the energy shield, Death Arfeudutyr resembles the original but longer with pale white stream of energy from its guard almost like wings.
''Unity doubles Laundsallyn's ATK plus Death Arfeudutyr halves all monsters you control. Plus Destiny protects his new monster from destruction once per turn.'' Ryan explains having made the strongest defense against anything his opponent could try.
''It seems the duel is over now…'' He mutters certain the duel is finally over… until Yugi protests. ''You sure about that?''
He startles looking at Yugi who's still smiling. Why? Why does he still assume he has a chance?
''You have a strong monster and I barely have any cards to do anything with.'' Yugi states the obvious not having any means to win but he just smiles going to prove him wrong. ''But I'm not giving up because this duel is not over yet.''
Ryan stares not following. He has a better field. What could he use that he hasn't already used. Yugi prepares to show him proclaiming. ''If Hope-Horned Legend Dragon leaves the field by card effect, I can target and banish a Spell Card from my Graveyard and use its effect.''
Everyone watches as a swirl of light within the darkness forms above Yugi. He reaches out to that energy, gripping on it and moves it forward to him. The energy slowly changes into a large holographic card and picks his card. ''I choose Monster Reborn!''
The changes and becomes Monster Reborn once Yugi removes it from his Graveyard. Ryan startles worrying and asks. ''Why that card?''
Yugi eyes the card in his hand, remembering how much this card symbolizes him with Atem… and more so thinking back what Aizen once said about bringing back his family. The dead should not linger in the living world; that was his respond… but the dead should never be forgotten either.
''The dead should remain dead but they should never be forgotten, like our parents.'' The tricolor head tells him. Ryan slowly widens his eyes by that statement, questioning. ''Our parents? You mean!''
Yugi doesn't answer though his eyes said enough that it was true. Ryan is taken back as Yugi calls out. ''I bring back Hope-Horned Legend Dragon!''
Returning back in sparks of light is Hope-Horned, letting out a passionate roar.
Hope-Horned Legend Dragon Lvl 7 ATK: 2500 DEF: 1700
Ichigo smiles joyfully with Yugi declaring. ''Hope-Horned's effect! Hope Driver!''
Hope-Horned starts banishing the newly Spell and Traps on the opponent's field. Ryan worries as Emperor Laundsallyn's ATK drops back to its original ATK. Yugi still isn't done playing the card he added. ''I now activate the Quick-Play Spell, Soul Servant! With this, I can place 1 card from my Deck that has Dark Magician or Dark Magician Girl listing in its text to the top of my Deck.''
He searches from his deck and picks the right card to place over his Deck. He then announces smirking. ''And also I can banished Soul Servant to draw a card for each Dark Magician or Palladium in its name with different names from my field or Graveyard. I draw 2 cards!''
He draws 2 cards and Yugi proceeds revealing the top card he put there. ''If I draw this card, I can Special Summon this card from my hand.''
Jonouchi gets excited knowing what that monster is.
''Please arrive to my aid to protect what we both care for! Become the light that pierces despair!'' Yugi chants as a ray of light shot up over the endless dark sky. Dashing within the light with impossible speed emerged a brand new monster. ''Appear before me, the original mage, Palladium Oracle Mahad!''
Appearing from the light, kneeling down to Yugi was a priest that resembles heavily on one of Pharaoh Atem's priest and close friend, Mahad the incarnation of the Dark Magician. He wore a golden armor priest-like outfit with a golden small scepter. He wore cloth robes and cape as the needle-like jewelry on this monster's belt look like the pointers found on the Millennium Ring. The monster stands up and turns against the evil Noble Knight with unquestionable stare of courage and strength.
Palladium Oracle Mahad Lvl 7 ATK: 2500 DEF: 2100
''Battle!'' Yugi announces but not before revealing his dragon's other effect. ''Hope-Horned gains 300 ATK for each Spell and Trap card banished.''
All of the banished Spell and Traps' energy flows around Hope-Horned. These are the following: Infernoble Arms – Durendal, Magician Navigation, Strive of the Noble Knights, Noble Arms – Caliburn, Heritage of the Chalice, Infernoble Arms – Hauteclere, Noble Arms – Gallatin, Reinforcement of the Army, Magnum Shield, Noble Arms of Thrusting, Memory Lost, Darkness Castle of the Ignoble Knights, Monster Reborn, Noble Arms of Unity, Noble Arms of Destiny, Noble Arms – Death Arfeudutyr and Soul Servant. With 17 cards in total; Hope-Horned lets out a roar, gaining 5100 ATK as it now has 7600.
''Hope-Horned Legend Dragon, defeat Emperor Laundsallyn!'' Yugi commands as Hope-Horned takes flight into the sky and repositions taking aim with his horn, glowing brightly like a star. He then shouts pointing forward. ''Maximum Drive Buster!''
Hope-Horned roars launching itself diving at Emperor Laundsallyn thrusting forward. Ryan panics and can't let this beat him countering. ''Emperor Laundsallyn's other effect banishes a monster in my Graveyard to gain not just its effect but also its stats.''
He searches through his Graveyard and picks his card proclaiming. ''I choose Lord Laundsallyn to gain not just his effect but its ATK and DEF until the end of the turn.''
The dark spirit of Lord Laundsallyn appears behind the Emperor, gaining 3200 ATK boost as his current ATK becomes 7600. Emperor Laundsallyn extends back his sword and leaps forward, swinging it forward while Ryan shouts. ''Darkness Emperor Death Slash!''
Hope-Horned and Emperor Laundsallyn clash horn to blade, releasing burst of chaotic energy from both. They try to overpower the other like a beam struggle but since both have the same ATK; they instead start cracking and explode. Everyone braces from the shockwave.
Ryan breathes heavily having no monsters while Yugi still had Mahad.
''I still have another monster to attack.'' The tricolor head states with a small smile. Ryan glares firmly revealing as dark swirls gather on his side. ''Emperor Laundsallyn's effect upon destroyed lets me Special Summon another Noble Knight in my Graveyard. Revive-''
But before he could pick his monster, Yugi still smiles. Ryan stares puzzle by this and questions this logic. ''Why are you still smiling?''
Yugi, still smiling, gladly illuminates. ''Why do you think? We're having fun.''
Ryan just stares confused but he's actually not sure how to feel. Yugi then explains himself. ''A duel is like knights of the old sparring against the other to honor and improve their skills.''
The lawyer is taken back, not wishing to admit it but yea, duels are the current times of how knights fought and clash their honor and sense of nobility against the other. Yugi notices his look and adds. ''I just don't want you give up on your desire to enjoy our duel over the fact you need to win.''
Judai nods smiling. Yugi then adds staring at his opponent's eyes. ''After all, we're really alike.''
Ryan just stares not following or well denying it. The tricolor head finally tells him properly. ''My parents died too before I knew them and my sister was taken away so I only had my grandfather. I tried making friends but they left too.''
Yugi frowns thinking back on those times are already that depressing. He had no one for most of his childhood, alone for 8 years playing his games with himself or working on the Millennium Puzzle.
''I didn't have friends till I was around High School. So I know what you mean about being lonely but a desire to have someone.'' Yugi expresses sadden still recalling those sad times.
He did change himself when he completed the Millennium Puzzle… wanting what his friend Kojan taught him; create irreplaceable bonds with others. He looks down at his puzzle, feeling it before looking back at Ryan. He knows that painful loneliness and he doesn't want that for him.
''That's why our duel needs to be that enjoyable Ryan-kun, not just for everyone but for us too.'' Yugi proclaims smiling knowing well they both desire that sense of happiness. Ryan shakes not out of angry but confusion on this guy. Why? Why is he like this!
''W-why are you like this?'' He asks not sure anymore. Yugi smiles gladly replying. ''Not sure, just my habit.''
He then adds being honest. ''And that we can become friends.''
''…'' Ryan just widens his eyes wordless. He's not even sure what to feel… but he feels happy. Diederick Baumeister stares at the smiling tricolor head and just scowls, gritting his teeth slightly.
''What are you waiting for?!'' Ryan startles hearing the voice he isn't sure but it was Dark Leader Dragon speaking telepathically. He's heard and seen enough from his guinea pig, ordering him. ''Summon Shadow Gearfried since Emperor Laundsallyn will protect it from being destroyed by banishing itself. Then you win using Shadow Gearfried power.''
Ryan startles realizing if he does this then he will win with Shadow Gearfried's effect… but it's not right. The Dark Lord senses this dismay and taunts his darkest desire. ''Do it! Achieve your dream and make it come true!''
''…'' Ryan is still silent, starting to slowly realize this is wrong of him to do this, to go back to who he is.
''GO ON. DESTROY HIM-'' Dark Leader Dragon orders him furious wanting him to do it now only for Ryan to finally protest. ''No!''
The Dark Lord startles taken back as Ryan argues more like himself. ''I don't want to win like this. I want to win… like how I would do it. Dueling using cheats isn't a duel or a true duelist.''
The white haired duelist nods admitting Yugi was right; this kind of duel is not right dictating what his mother taught him as a kid. ''I will duel Yugi with my own strength and duel him through enjoyment and skill than for victory alone! Chivalry is through honor and one's strength. If one cannot follow them then he is worse than garbage.''
Realizing who he is, Ryan declares smiling as the darkness around him fades away. ''I am who I am and I won't let these cards of darkness dictated who I am!''
The Dark Lord snaps angrily, not believing any mere human to resist his power. He roars shouting. ''You dare REFUSE MY-''
He prepares to take control on his stupid body… except he feels something else, something much more within this boy's body, finally speaking. ''He said no.''
A large flappy arm comes out of nowhere and slaps the Dark Lord out of Ryan's conscious.
Ryan snaps out back to reality with the dark aura and anger having vanished from his body and soul. Even the Darkness cards all vanished out of his Deck too. He could have sworn he heard voices in his head.
''W-who just-'' He questions really not following but a firm voice answers pretty kindly.''Now duel with your heart's content, kiddo.''
Ryan blinks nervously but just nods taking this voice's word. He eyes Yugi and makes his pick.''I summon Infernoble Knight Emperor Charles!''
Erupting in now red flames is Emperor Charles appearing back to the field.
Infernoble Knight Emperor Charles Lvl 9 ATK: 3000 DEF: 200
Erika slowly forms a smile. Everyone startles with Jonouchi uttering out. ''That Noble Knight!''
Yugi just smiles with relieve from his voice. ''Ryan-kun.''
Ryan finally smiles back replying. ''Now show me how strong you are, Duel King.''
The tricolor head smirks nodding as he proceeds his turn. ''Mahad, attack Emperor Charles!''
Everyone startles by this especially the Noble Knight duelist.
The Mage of Light nods vanishing and reappears above Charles, pointing his scepter. From the tip a large magical circle of light appears around the scepter as Mahad begins charging its attack.
''Light Magic Burst!'' Yugi shouts as Mahad fires his blast through the seal, firing a destructive golden magical blast.
Ryan watches and snaps out countering back. ''Emperor Charles, go! Emperor Flash Slash!''
Emperor Charles charges and swings his fiery sword right at Mahad's attack. It slashes through the energy blast and cuts through the Mage of Light, exploding.
''That's insane! Why did he do that?'' Mai utters puzzled by this play. Ichigo smiles just stating. ''Magicians' Defense halves the damage Yugi took due to having a Spellcaster Nya!''
Yugi pants heavily, having 250LP left as he then proclaims. ''Mahad's effect if destroyed Special Summons Dark Magician from my hand, Deck or Graveyard.''
Ryan staggers uttering. ''That means-''
''Come back, Dark Magician the Dragon Knight!'' Yugi calls forth as his magician riding dragon knight reappears back to the field.
Dark Magician the Dragon Knight Lvl 8 ATK: 3000 DEF: 2500
''Attack Emperor Charles! Black Dragon Force!'' The tricolor head orders as his magical knight raises his sword and he and his dragon unleash their combine attack. Emperor Charles fights back with a fiery energy slash and counters the dark energy attack. The two clash heavily before their clashing attack explodes and vaporizes both.
Ryan is taken back by this clash but he oddly smiles, finding this excitedly and true to knights fighting blow to blow. That and he played the right call attack Charles like this to prevent its effect.
''Turn end.'' Yugi ends his turn with no monsters but still smiling that they can finally enjoy their duel with their hearts content. "This is where our real duel ends, Ryan-kun!''
Will their final climax be the fun duel the two can finally enjoy?
Commercial Break:
Ryan: Yugi, there might be things I was wrong but let me pay you back with the kind of duelist I am.
Yugi: Ryan-kun, let's both enjoy this duel like we should and make everyone happy too!
The duel resumes with Ryan not sure why but he's thankful for his opponent. He had such despair and hate in his very core but after what he said and shared; he finally realized how wrong he felt about him. Some lawyer: never doing research on the guy who became Duel King.
Ryan eyes him and says smiling. "Yugi, thank you.''
Yugi blinks not following as he vows. ''I intend to pay you back for this with my all with the rest of my power!''
The tricolor head nods standing readying.
Duel Screen: Turn 15_ Yugi: 250LP H: 1 / Ryan: 200LP H: 1
''My turn!'' Ryan shouts drawing his top card. Now the second turn pass since using Astolfo's effect.
Number of turns since Infernoble Knight Astolfo was activated: 2
''Now I can use Astolfo's effect, bringing back the monsters banished before.'' Ryan proclaims as his Infernoble Knight and his Gearfried ace monster return back to the field.
Infernoble Knight Astolfo Lvl 1 ATK: 500 DEF: 200
Immortal Phoenix Gearfried Lvl 9 ATK: 3000 DEF: 2200
Ryan turns to his Gearfried and smiles not going to abandon again the sense of fiery nobility. He eyes the card he drew and declares setting it. ''I set 1 card facedown and end my turn.''
Number of turns since Swords of Revealing Light was activated: 3
The shining swords surrounding Ryan now vanish. Yugi needs to use something else or he's done for.
Duel Screen: Turn 16_ Yugi: 250LP H: 1 / Ryan: 200LP H: 1
''My turn!'' Yugi shouts drawing his top card. He eyes it and immediately sets it. ''I set 1 card facedown! My turn is over.''
The crowd gasps as only a single set card materializes on his field. Ichigo could tell Yugi is out of most of his cards plus also he lost most of his main deck due to Shadow Gearfried's effect… but he still smiles confident in himself. She smiles going to trust in him.
Duel Screen: Turn 17_ Yugi: 250LP H: 1 / Ryan: 200LP H: 1
Erika stares at Ryan and smiles to see him act like himself. She giggles a bit not sure why she's acting like this.
''My turn now!'' Ryan shouts drawing his top card. He eyes it and it might be the best card he can use.
''I activate the spell, Card of Fate!'' Ryan announces playing a different type of card explaining. ''Each of us picks 1 card from our decks and then the other picks 4 other cards from the opposing player, then we randomly select 1 of the 5 cards and the rest are shuffle back to our own decks.''
Yugi blinks puzzle by that with Judai commenting. ''Huh? He's dueling almost to help Yugi now?''
Erika smiles able to tell Ryan is dueling nobility over victory alone. Yugi agrees as he and Ryan pick their cards and then the other pick one of the other 5 cards and then both add that chosen card to their hand.
Ryan smirks getting what he wanted playing his last two cards in his hand. ''I equip Gearfried with the Equip Spells, Supermagic Sword of Raptinus and Excalibur!''
Gearfried discards his shield into flames as he grabs onto the Raptinus sword which it infuses itself with the other equip card.
''With Excalibur, Immortal Phoenix's original ATK is doubled.'' Ryan explains as Gearfried shoots up to 6000 ATK. He then commands going into his Battle Phase. ''Battle! Gearfried, attack Yugi directly!''
Gearfried leaps up erupting flames from his back resembling a phoenix.
''I also use Immortal Phoenix's effect, absorbing Astolfo so he becomes an Equip Spell and Gearfried gains 500 ATK! Flame Soul!'' Ryan proclaims as Gearfried absorbs his Infernoble Knight ally, giving him greater power with now 6500ATK.
Yugi is ready for this triggering his set card. ''That won't work! Reverse trap open, Mirror Force!''
''Yes Nya!'' Ichigo shouts excitedly as the reflecting light mirror transmute around him. Now he can destroy Immortal Phoenix with this but Ryan was also prepared for this.
''Not gotta happen! I counter with my trap, Armory Call!'' He counters triggering his signature trap glowing. ''Now I can equip any Equip Spell Card from my Deck to a monster I control.''
He pulls out his Deck and picks the perfect card announcing. ''I choose to Equip Gearfried with the Equip Spell, Divine Sword – Immortal Phoenix Blade!''
Materializing is a new blade that resembles the original Divine Sword – Phoenix Blade except it has the same matching colors as Immortal Phoenix Gearfried and has bright burning flames surrounding its blade. Gearfried discards his main sword, vanishing in flames, as he reaches and grips on the new blade. He wields it forward as he swings it, the blade igniting in godly flames, upon the reflecting mirror and slashes through it with one strike. Yugi startles with Ryan explaining with a small smile. ''This card can only be equipped to Warrior monsters, granting that monster 300 ATK but also if it's equipped to a FIRE monster, it is unaffected be your by card effects.''
Mirror Force cracks into pieces while Gearfried goes up to 6800ATK.
''Go Gearfried!'' Ryan shouts smiling as Gearfried dives at Yugi with his sword. ''God Phoenix Blade!''
Gearfried swings down his fiery sword upon Yugi who quickly pulls out a card from his Graveyard and shouts. ''I banished Spiritual Swords of Revealing Light from my Graveyard, ending the Battle Phase.''
New energy swords materialize around Yugi and blocks Gearfried in its tracks.
Ryan actually smiles taken back but not surprised coming from this bloke.
''I end my turn, mate.'' Ryan proclaims finishing his turn with Yugi blushing, going to find that word name when referring to friend.
Duel Screen: Turn 18_ Yugi: 250LP H: 2 / Ryan: 200LP H: 0
Yugi smiles having fun again but it's time to settle this.
''This all or nothing now.'' He proclaims, placing his hand over his deck and shouts drawing. ''My turn, draw!''
He draws it and eyes it smiling. He proceeds playing it. ''I activate the spell, Monster Reincarnation! I discard a card to add a Monster Card from my Deck to my hand.''
He discards a card and adds Gigarays Gandora the Dragon of Destruction. He then declares banishing the card he discarded. ''Next I banish Silent Burning from my Graveyard, adding a Silent Magician monster from my Deck to my hand.''
He adds his strong Silent Magician into his hand. Ryan notices this and tells him. ''You sure about that? Immortal Phoenix will negate your monster effects.''
Yugi just smirks nodding and summons the perfect monster for this. ''I summon Magical Fuser Mage!''
Materializing on the field is a young, dark green robe magician with a weird, red-green spiraling scepter with the Fusion sign of the magician theme Polymerization symbol behind his back and front of his robe.
Magical Fuser Mage Lvl 1 ATK: 100 DEF: 100
Ichigo gasps remembering that monster when Yugi used it against Yami Bakura way back.
"My mage has a once per duel effect that releases itself to perform a Fusion Summon without Polymerization! Plus I gain 1000LP if the Fusion Summoned is successful.'' Yugi explains his monster's effect as the mage wraps away and in its place a Fusion portal materializes.
Ryan is confused by this but prepares to trigger Gearfried's effect… but it didn't work.
''Why isn't-'' He tries asking puzzle but Yugi reveals smiling. ''Other cards can't respond to my monster's effect.''
Ryan startles meaning not even Gearfried can negate that effect.
''I fuse together both Silent Magician and Gigarays Gandora the Dragon of Destruction!'' Yugi announces as his silent female magician and his destructive black, red orb body dragon merges within the fusion portal.
''With your magic of bonds and your boundless destructive potential, cross your hearts to emerge as the one to put an end to despair and protect everyone! Shatter all your previous limits and become the ultimate destruction of despair and bringer of hope!'' Yugi chants raising his hand as the portal begins releasing sparks of red and blue electricity coming out from it.
A card pops out from Yugi's Extra Deck. He grabs it and summons forth placing the card in the middle of his Monster Zone. ''FUSION SUMMON! Come forth, Silent Gandora the Magician of Annihilation!''
Everything suddenly becomes distorted in black and white emerging from the portal was a new monster born from the potential of Yugi's kindness and strength, powers of chaos and order.
Flying out from the vanishing portal was Silent Magician, sporting Gandora's black wings. Her outfit also changes having a dark-red mage outfit similar to Silent Magician LV0 but having the style Silent Magician in tight outfit as her leggings were more revealing showing more of her leg. In addition she gains Gandora's orbs across her clothed body except they were white than red. She has Gandora's tail and her mage hat resembles Gandora's head. Her finger gloves were sharp-like claws as she wields a new wand, much longer, with the same black-red color scheme and white orbs with a large orb on the top. Her hair is even whiter as her eyes were still the same except glowing and possessing slitter-like yellow dragon pupils.
Silent Gandora the Magician of Annihilation Lvl 8 ATK: 3500 DEF: 0
Yugi's Life Points goes up to 1250. Ryan stares unease but Gearfried still has more ATK to-
''Silent Gandora effect halves my Life Points to destroy as many cards you control and then banish them!'' Yugi suddenly proclaims and then adds smiling. ''Plus her effect and activation cannot be negated!''
Ryan startles heavily, meaning he can't do anything.
Yugi pays the cost with his Life Points dropping to 625. Silent Gandora then raises her staff as it glows in white and red energy, becoming a perfect balance of creation and destruction. The orbs attached on her body and wand also begins glowing brightly like rays of light.
''Vanish into oblivion! Destroy Silent Giga Burning!'' Yugi commands with a serious glare as Silent Gandora nods to her master's order. The beams and wand fire actually beams of light across the field, blasting through all cards on Ryan's field. Immortal Phoenix uses his Phoenix Blade as a shield, losing it but still protecting him. However all of his other Equips were banished as well.
''Next she gains 500 ATK for each card banished.'' Yugi reveals as Silent Gandora shoots up to 5000ATK.
Everyone is just speechless at this point. There was little that Ryan could do at this point.
Yugi, however, frowns not wanting to win like this after all Ryan went through but Ryan, noticing this, encourages him determinedly. ''Do it Yugi! If you can't attack me then you won't be consider a true king! Show this knight what a fun defeat is like!''
The tricolor head startles and slowly smiles nodding and orders. ''Battle! Silent Gandora, attack Immortal Phoenix Gearfried!''
Silent Gandora twirls her staff and takes aim with it at Gearfried. Swirls of red and white energy gather and start charging massively.
''Destroy Silent Giga Burning!'' Yugi commands as his magician fires her destructive sphere of magic and consumes Gearfried who stands his ground willingly to his fate. The blast vaporizes him as Ryan just smiles, closing his eyes accepting this and his Life Points hit to 0.
Duel Screen: Winner… Yugi Mutou: 625LP vs. Ryan Quint: 0LP
Everyone just stares as the monsters soon vanished. Yugi pants heavily but regardless he walks up to Ryan blinking with his eyes open and notices the hand of the tricolor head in front of him.
"Great duel, Ryan-kun!'' Yugi expresses smiling. Ryan eyes him still blinking and smiles shaking his hand. ''Ace of a duel, Yugi!''
The crowd immediately cheers amazingly for the duel's finish. Pegasus hums nodding.
Ichigo purrs of relief that Yugi is okay. Erika also smiles staring at Ryan.
Judai chuckles… though he then felt something turning his head. The fake Diederick Baumeister watches towards Yugi, walking up to him till he feels something and hides to the shadows. He could sense danger coming.
Minutes before Yugi won, the Dark Lord is pushed out from Ryan's mind and growls furious. He couldn't believe this hissing. ''Damn him…''
Cracking a smirk, Kaiba asks him now taunting him. ''Things not going your way?''
Dark Leader Dragon snaps and shouts irritated. ''Shut up! You should worry more about your destruction than my concerns!''
''… That's where you're wrong.'' Kaiba declares gazing down at the dragon and tells him. ''The only reason you can't see through your plans is one and only one reason.''
The Dark Lord glares oddly listening, wanting to hear this garbage statement. Kaiba quickly reveals it staring at him. ''You underestimate Yugi.''
''Excuse me?'' The black dragon, staggered, questions holding back his need to rip him apart. Kaiba can see his anger and that's his greatest downfall telling him. ''You hate Yugi, probably more than anyone else including myself. But you and other fools' biggest mistakes are underestimating him.''
Seto should know better than anyone, he's seen Yugi face foes that either underestimate, mock or find him weak and he ALWAYS proves them wrong and beats them with his power. After all, he was one of many who underestimated him.
''Yugi is no ordinary human being. If he was, I would have never lost to him this many times in any Duel.'' Kaiba states recalling all his simulation duels and each time he lost. Even his last attempts where he could have won still came too short. Yugi is like a formula, one with no weaknesses or solution even when the odds are against him. ''Whenever he's pushed or cornered, he always overcomes those odds and comes out the victor regardless about his talk about friendship and trusting their cards.''
Kaiba scoffs hating to admit it but says it proud. ''To be truthful, it's something I admire about him. And the reason why I shall be the one to beat him one day and become the strongest duelist! He is my worthy rival!''
He then points at the Dark Lord and declares firmly with a sinister, firm look. ''Someone like you who can't view Yugi as a worthy foe can never hope to beat him nor me!''
The Dark Lord breathes struggling to contain his rage and angry. How dare he mock him that he can't beat that brat! HE WILL-
Duel Screen: Turn 7_ Kaiba: 2000LP H: 2 / Dark Leader Dragon: 4000LP H: 3
''My turn! Draw!'' The Dark Lord growls with Kaiba resuming their duel, drawing his top card. He eyes his card and plays it. ''First I play the spell, Trade-In! I discard the Blue-Eyes Solid Dragon in my hand to draw 2 cards!''
He discards his Blue-Eyes to draw two more additional cards. Kaiba smirks getting exactly what he needed.
''Next I activate the Continuous Spell, Different Dimension Hanger!'' Kaiba shouts playing a spell. A pair of robotic claws emerges out from the ceiling, pulling out two cards from Kaiba's virtual deck before vanishing back up. ''I banish up to 3 Union Monsters from my Deck from the duel.''
He only banishes 2 and then proceeds summoning a monster. ''Next I summon Enhanced X-Headed Cannon!''
Appearing is X-Headed Cannon though it looks shiny and improved armor and cannons.
Enhanced X-Headed Cannon Lvl 4 ATK: 1800 DEF: 1500
''Now I use the effect of Different Dimension Hanger to Special Summon the monsters removed as long as the summoned monster's name is written on its text.'' Seto declares as the same claws came back down from the sky dropped hanger-like boxes beside him. The containers start opening up as he calls forth. ''Appear, Y-Dragon Head, Z-Metal Tank!''
Emerging from both is the red dragon-like robot and the yellow one-eyed tank with sharp claws.
Y-Dragon Head Lvl 4 ATK: 1500 DEF: 1600
Z-Metal Tank Lvl 4 ATK: 1500 DEF: 1300
The Dark Lord growls as Kaiba proclaims. ''By banishing X, Y and Z; merge and fused! Now combine!''
His three machines take flight and begin merging.
''Fusion Summon! XYZ-Dragon Cannon!'' Kaiba calls forth his newly formed monster. It has Metal Tank as the bottom, Dragon Head on the middle and Cannon Head on the top; being a massive robot dragon tank.
XYZ-Dragon Cannon Lvl 8 ATK: 2800 DEF: 2600
The Dark Lord still glares unimpressed as Dreadroot is still the strongest. Kaiba wasn't done though announcing. ''I use the effect of Krystal Reincarnation from my Graveyard!''
This surprises the evil dragon as a card materializes and shows the image of Assault Wyvern roaring with the shiny silhouette of Krystal Dragon behind it.
''By banishing it, I can add 1 Level 8 or higher Dragon monster from my Graveyard or banished back to my hand.'' He explains adding a card from his Graveyard into his hand. He eyes it and then Seto raises his hand, shouting out proudly. ''ABC-XYZ, I banish you both for the ultimate combination!''
Both Dragon Cannon and Dragon Buster take up to the sky, disassembling into six machines as they glow.
''Form and transform yourselves into the ultimate perfect dreadnaught of annihilation! And leave nothing in your sight!'' Kaiba chants as all six began to connect to each other, changing and reshaping into their combined form now descending. ''Fusion Summon! The Final Combination, A-to-Z-Dragon Buster Cannon!''
Emerging is a smashed of all 6 Union monsters. X-Head Cannon was the main head with its blasters enchanted with the fused busters of Buster Drake and Crush Wyvern. The middle was Z-Metal Tank having the heads of Buster Drake and Crush Wyvern on both its hidden cannon. The bottom was Y-Dragon Head with the back being Assault Core, holding all previous parts including the wings of Buster Drake, Crush Wyvern, Dragon Head and Metal Tank.
A-to-Z-Dragon Buster Cannon Lvl 10 ATK: 4000 DEF: 4000
Dark Leader Dragon sees this and slowly chuckles, worrying for nothing especially since this monster appeared in Attack Position.
''Oh how cute but naive. Dreadroot-'' The Dark Lord tries teasing his opponent's foolish play only for Kaiba to finish his words. ''Won't do a thing about it.''
The black dragon raises an eyebrow with Kaiba, now grinning, states. ''It's a shame you didn't summon Avatar instead. I was actually hoping you would have so I would defeat you in one shot but well this will have to do.''
The Dark Lord glares not following what nonsense he was-
''Reverse Continuous Trap open!'' Seto immediately shouts triggering his ace-in-the-hole. ''Ultimate Force!''
His set card flips over and shows the image of Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon letting out a roar while having a silhouette of Obelisk behind it powering it up. The trap glows releasing a strange wave across the field.
Kaiba, now chuckling, explains his new card's effect. ''By revealing a monster of the same Attribute as a monster you control, that monster has its effect negated, regardless of protection!''
The Dark Lord slowly sweats realizing what this means. Kaiba immediately reveals one of his 2 cards in his hand: Blue Demon the Torment Dragon. The Dark Lord widens his eyes as Dreadroot's powers were nullified with Dragon Buster Cannon going back to its original ATK.
''You negated Dreadroot using your Blue Demon?'' The Dark Lord utters in terror, not expecting this. Kaiba smirks saying. ''Impressive no? In addition, while Blue Demon is revealed in my hand, monsters I control gain 1000 ATK!''
Dragon Buster Cannon shoots up to 5000 ATK.
''Battle. Exterminate Dreadroot, Dragon Buster Cannon.'' Kaiba commands, extending his arm forward at his opponent. ''Hyper Obliteration!''
His cannon dragon monster begins firing everything upon Dreadroot, actually blasting through and vaporizing the Wicked God. The Dark Lord grits his fangs taking 1000LP of damage.
''My turn is done and it will be done for you.'' Kaiba declares with a smug smirk, finishing his turn.
Duel Screen: Turn 8_ Kaiba: 2000LP H: 2 / Dark Leader Dragon: 3000LP H: 3
''…'' The Dark Lord silently draws his top card. He eyes his card narrowing and this cause Kaiba to chuckle.
''Haha… upset?'' Kaiba assumes with the face he's having, now taunting the big bad dragon. ''Annoy that even if you summon a God it won't do you any good?''
He then adds with a smug smirk look and laughs. ''You should be. HAHAHAHA!''
Dark Leader Dragon looks up at him and just cracks a smirk correcting him. ''No, I'm just upset I didn't assume you had such a card to fight even Gods. Then again you have your own Divine. Speaking of… who gave it to you?''
Kaiba stops hs laughter glaring at the black dragon's question.
''Why bother asking such a stupid question?'' Kaiba states not having any reason to tell him anything especially since even he's not sure who that man was, as far as Yugi called him Shadow Knight and seems to be helping him.
The Dark Lord scowls at his pathetic answer and tells him. ''To destroy the one who gave it to you is all.''
Kaiba stares back with his arms crossed and just orders him. ''Forget it and make your turn.''
The black dragon growls having no choice but to use the power Arkham gave him, grinning.
''Reverse card open.'' The Dark Lord proclaims triggering his set card. ''Darkness Doppelgangers!''
His set trap flips over showing the image of dark twisted shadows of monsters battling and taking life.
''With this I can Special Summon 3 Darkness Clones to my field.'' The Dark Lord calls forth as the same shadow creatures appear on his field out of his trap, all grinning menacing and mischievous.
Darkness Clones (x3) Lvl 2 ATK: 0 DEF: 0
Kaiba scoffs calling him off. ''Go on, summon Avatar. It changes nothing.''
''Does it now?'' The Dark Lord just questions smirking. He then laughs proclaiming. ''Since I control 3 monsters, I release them!''
His 3 clones vanish as the surroundings around them shakes violently. Kaiba stands his ground as his headset can detect something abnormal.
''Dark shadow spirits gather and consume everything beneath your phantasm being! Let your claws erase everything it shreds through!'' The evil dragon chants as the ground glows a dark blue light underneath him, calling forth. ''Rise up! Raviel, Lord of Phantasmal!''
Appearing in quakes and the very ground are a pair of claws that pulls itself up onto the land. Kaiba startles as pulling out with its sharp fangs is a demonic, an actual demonic version of Obelisk except it was some blue but had darkish pale purple skin and the blue is more like skin-like armor. It has demonic wings, sharp claws and shoulders. It also has sharp horns-like crown even on its sides, extra claws on its cheeks and bright red eyes as well as multiple sharp fangs.
Raviel, Lord of Phantasms Lvl 10 ATK: 4000 DEF: 4000
Kaiba widens his eyes actually awe and shock, uttering out madly. ''What the hell is this? A fake Obelisk! You dare insult me with another fake!''
The Dark Lord lets out a few chuckles simply replying. ''Hmm fake wouldn't be the right word. More like one of my creations.''
Seto just glares not following this crap until the Dark Lord resumes. ''But never mind that. I activate the Field Spell, Fallen Paradise.
Kaiba did get this card's data and startles, not planning to let him use it as he counters. ''I don't think so! I use Dragon Buster Cannon's effect, discarding a card to negate your spell's activation and destroy it!''
Dragon Buster Cannon fires anti-fire blasts upon the materializing card and destroys it.
''Oh ho, not bad…'' The Dark Lord seemingly praises his opponent until he shouts playing a different card. ''NOT! I activate the Quick-Play Spell, Darkness Resurrection!''
A new Darkness card materializes showing a reverse Monster Reincarnation tainted in darkness.
''With it I add a card from my Graveyard back to my hand and now I once more activate Fallen Paradise!'' The Dark Lord explains adding his card back and then proceeds playing it again.
Their surroundings shift into a dead land, ground cracked and old with broken trees with a massive evil oak tree with no leaves behind the Dark Lord. The tree has evil glowing green pair of eyes from its holes with a red apple underneath the demon dragon's feet.
''With its effect, you cannot target or destroyed Raviel with cards effects. And I can once per turn draw 2 cards.'' The Dark Lord explains smirking as he draws 2 more cards. He grins playing another card. ''Next I activate the Continuous Spell, Darkness Charge!''
Raviel starts to erupt in black electricity by the new Continuous Trap. The evil dragon laughs menacing. ''BATTLE!''
''It changes nothing.'' Kaiba immediately protests as his Dragon Buster Cannon still has higher ATK than this fake Obelisk. The black dragon grins holding a card proclaiming. ''You think? Ask that again as I activate Raviel, Lord of Phantasms – Shimmering Scraper from my hand!''
The spirit of an identical Raviel appears behind the one present on the field. The spirit roars coursing its power upon the one on the field, also roaring in dark blue aura.
''Now Raviel's ATK is doubled for the rest of this turn.'' Dark Leader Dragon announces with a sinister smirk, powering up Raviel to 8000 ATK. Kaiba actually sweats to see the number but he wasn't planning to lose to something like this, proclaiming. ''Dragon Buster Cannon's effect banishes itself to Special Summon back both its materials!''
Dragon Buster Cannon separates back into XYZ and ABC in Defense Position.
XYZ-Dragon Cannon Lvl 8 ATK: 2800 DEF: 2600
ABC-Dragon Buster Lvl 8 ATK: 3000 DEF: 2800
The Dark Lord sees this and chuckles rather amused by the play his opponent did there.
''Good move. Now you won't take damage and you can use Dragon Buster's effect to get your materials so next turn you can bring out Blue Demon. Clever.'' The demon dragon says really impressed by Kaiba's strategy… until he snaps his claws and states. ''Oh I almost forgot. Shimmering Scraper's other effect lets Raviel attack all monsters you control too.''
Kaiba startles angrily and it gets worst as the evil dragon reminds him. ''And you seem to forget but Darkness Charge allows my monster to perform Piercing Damage as well!''
Now the prideful duelist shows a face of fear.
''Now witness the power of Chaos! HAHAHA!'' Dark Leader Dragon laughs twisted before commanding with Raviel's eyes glowing and extending back its right claw. ''Celestial Ravaging Fist!''
Raviel thrusts his dark blue glowing right claw forward and stabs through Dragon Cannon and destroys it instantly, causing an explosion upon Kaiba. He tries bracing himself but the damage was too real, sending him flying off.
Duel Screen: Winner… Seto Kaiba: 0LP vs. Dark Leader Dragon: 3000LP
''AAAAWWW!'' Kaiba yells in pain thrustened right through walls before crashing into the stage duel field. Everyone startles by this with Judai having been watching towards that direction as was the fake Diederick.
''Kaiba-kun!'' Yugi utters out in surprise with Ryan staring in shock. Kaiba crashes onto the field with Yugi rushing to his aid. He could tell he's badly hurt trying to check on him.
''Hey, you okay!'' The tricolor head yells out worrying. Kaiba, stirring in pain, eyes at Yugi looking at him and tries telling him. ''Worry… about… him.''
Seto soon passes out to Yugi's alarm. Just then the crowds all scream as they find themselves chained in some kind of dark energy chains.
''The hell?!'' Edward utters not able to move. Kurosaki soon recognizes these chains. ''These are-''
"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!'' A familiar voice everyone of Team Dragon Knight knows speaks up as waves of darkness blows through the hole Kaiba came out from. Stepping out to the opening, the Dark Lord emerges with a smug smirk and his cape wrapped around him.
''I hate to ruin your lovely tournament…'' The evil dragon begins proclaiming, sounding very sinister, as he adds with his eyes glowing towards the injury Kaiba. ''But a certain naïve host lied to you about me and I don't tolerate liars.''
Yugi stands up and glares as his red dragon eyes take over. ''Dark Leader Dragon-kun…''
The Dark Lord smirks staring down at Yugi, intending to make the brat suffer for ruining a perfectly good plan and he will, with the power of the Chaos Phantoms on his side.
While this goes on, Diederick Baumeister watches in the shadows and waits for his chance to react.
Yugi may have saved Ryan but now the Dark Lord has appeared. Can the young Dragon Knight already tired be able to fight and stop the evil dragon?
To be continued…

Thank you for another great episode. I thank those who are helping me get this story notice and enjoy it. For those who love it, please review my story and give me your opinions or thoughts to it.
Next Time…
Yugi managed to reach and help Ryan remember the joy of dueling however this victory is cut short by the Dark Lord's appearance. Disappointed on his results, Dark Leader Dragon decides to finish a tired Yugi once and for all at least fairly. But Judai steps up and both duelists fight the Dark Lord who has the 3 Phantasms in his position. Will they succeed?
Jonouchi: WHY NOW?! WHY IS HE HERE AGAIN!
Yugi: Dark Leader Dragon-kun.
Dark Leader Dragon growls but grinning: I'm both so happy and angry you're still alive but no matter, I get to finish you off myself.
Yugi frowns worrying still exhausted from his duel with Ryan.
Judai leaps onto the field, rubbing the end of his nose: Sorry to disappoint you but I can feel you have 3 cards that should never be used again and I intend to take them from you.
Dark Leader Dragon scoffs: I don't care! This is the perfect opportunity to experiment and regain myself fully!
Yugi pants but glares determined: Guess we don't have a choice. Let's fight together, Judai-kun!
Judai stares serious but oddly smirks: Let's do this, Yugi-san! Next time in Yu-Gi-Oh! Dragon Knight Reborn: Return of the Phantom Demons! Tag Team of the King and Hero! Duel Standby!
Ichigo taken back to see both of them dueling together: … Huh! Oh right Nya! Please remember to read, enjoy and review Nya. See you all next time!
Author's Note: Probably a good duel, not as hype as Jonouchi vs Kaiba or Ichigo vs Leon BUT good. REALLY good. Did my best to avoid stupidly much fan-made cards but well yea, kinda. I hope you guys still enjoy the last part of the Yugi vs Ryan duel.
NEXT TIME… last duel. Yes, last duel because I want to get this over with and there will be another tournament in the far future so expect that where I will do other duels I wanted to do like Yugi vs Jonouchi or Ichigo vs Mai rematch.
And yes… Sacred Beasts time, with Yugi AND Judai tag dueling. THIS… Should be fun!
Also welcome everyone to 2021... PLEASE LET IT BE A GOOD YEAR! I need it to be a good year.
One thing I want for this year: Be nearly finished with DKR Volume 5 to start Volume 6 (OOOOH, that's the Volume I want to be put in). Also complete my promise with the DKR Side Story. That's it.
