Volume 4: Episode 5: The Battle of Teamwork!
In the previous episode of DKR:
Wanting to figure out how to help Gallia with a new battle plan for their next battle as well as to figure out why the Imperial Empire is doing all this, Yugi concentrated and had a mental conversation with the original Dragon Knight, Sir Dragonaun, resting within the Dragon Sword. Much like last time, the bitter knight expresses somethings about Yugi's choice of being the Dragon Knight knowing well he will suffer but also provide some details on Gallia, the Empire and most of all the Valkyrurs. Regardless Yugi got what he wanted to ask him and something more.
Forming his plan, Team Dragon Knight with Squad 7 marched to their first war battle to take back a town with Yugi using a strategy to take care of their tanks and using Sonic as a distraction for the robots like previously. With a little of trust, the groups managed to push back the Empire and take back the town under their control without killing that many enemy forces.
However this was just one of many battles and our groups must be prepared for their next invasion attack. Can they win again?
And now the conclusion... days later since the previous episode:
Days have passed, battles have happened as the combine leadership of both Team Dragon Knight and Squad 7 have earn them a few wins, taking back territory that the Imperial Empire took. However that just means they haven't won yet and the part that worry Yugi is that even though these were small wins; why hasn't the empire done anything to take them back with their superior numbers especially their robots. Were they planning for something or grew tired of those lands? What was this Maximilian really up to?
The two groups now travel to their next destination with Ichi yawning how long much they've tired so far even by jeep. They were quiet but Ichi was so bored it was exhausting. She eyes the tricolor head and asks him snuggling his shoulder. ''This is pretty long trip Nya, right Yugi-kun?''
Yugi, blushing to feel her cat ears, just nods looking around their surroundings. He reaches with his other hand and pets her cat ears, causing Ichigo to purr softly. Alicia hears that sweat drops both disturb and suspicious by the red pigtail's nature.
''We've should be there soon right Welkin-kun?'' Yugi asks pretty curious how far they are to their destination. Welkin immediately responds pulling out his binoculars. "We should be arriving.''
Yugi nods as he tries to enjoy the ride a little longer until they have to fight the enemy again and most likely another dangerous battle.
After a few more minutes, everyone got out of their jeeps or riding in the Edelweiss and sneak into bushes to come face-to-face with a large Imperial base. Judai whistles at how big it looks.
''So we need to take back this base or destroy it?'' Danny asks the obvious question with Welkin nodding firmly. If they don't then this base will likely attack the last base the Gallian Army have and end the war.
Jonouchi scoffs at such a threat declaring. ''Pff! Easy! Yugi can just make another super OP plan and then-''
Then Alicia taps his shoulder and points down and the up. Jonouchi blinks and looks at both directions and sweat drops seeing a large, energy beam fence surrounding the base that had hundreds of robots hovering over it.
''OH…'' The dirty colored blond-headed mutters out speechless. Yugi nods as he mutters out a plan. ''Okay this time we need to use stealth but with those robots...''
At this moment Ichi hops up and down uttering out like a little kid. ''Oh-oh! Maybe now I can-''
Yugi already had a feeling what his girlfriend was going to suggest and honestly it would be a good time to use Mew Ichigo in action… however-
''Wait. Ichigo is a huge trump card as well as myself. Let's not allow the enemy to become aware of our powers yet.'' Jenny disagrees with the idea thinking it would be best to hold off her and even herself from using their Mew powers unless they are truly needed. She then adds eyeing Squad 7 with the corner of her eyes. ''That and we can't freak them out yet woof.''
Ichi sighs really wanting to join in with Alicia making a curious face if those two have powers or something they rather not show.
''Sigh, Nee-san is right.'' Yugi states now sighing and getting why his sister thinks it's the best call.
''Then what should we do then Nya?'' Ichi then asks more serious about this situation. Yugi frowns not sure while Jenny was thinking about a plan too.
Welkin coughs out speaking out like a leader himself. ''If I may suggest Yugi-san: distraction.''
Yugi makes a small smirk at that idea. He turns to the blue hedgehog and asks him. ''Sonic-kun, can you gather every one of those robots to follow you?''
''Easy peasy!'' Sonic replies with a smirk while snapping his right fingers. Yugi nods figuring as much as he turns to Danny and asks him. ''Danny-kun, I need you to be following him but undetected. Since those robots can adapt then-''
Danny stops him with his hand getting the idea as he responds. ''I get what you're trying to say and let's give it a go, Yugi.''
Yugi smiles brightly glad to hear it. He then stares at everyone else and suggests. ''Then the rest of us have to split up into three teams.''
''Three?'' Most of everyone utters out confuse. Jenny explains it getting Yugi's plan. ''Someone has to stay back with Isara-san and the Edelweiss.''
Isara coughs a bit amazed she's being included into this. Jenny then adds eyeing the fence. ''Once we disable the fence, we can proceed with the full on attack.''
Winry pops out from the tank with wrenches on her declaring most excited. ''Perfect! Isara and I have been making a few tweaks to really give the Edelweiss a boost.''
Isara blushes a bit by Winry joy in working with anything that's machine. She told her much about automails and even applied her techniques with the Edelweiss to better prep it.
''I'm amazed by Winry's talents with machines.'' Isara states praising the blonde as she giggles. Ed grunts a bit admitting she's not wrong.
''Why do we have to bother to disable to the fence first? Let's just blow it up and-'' Naruto, for once, questions the fact that they can just destroy the fence and go all out to beat the bad guys. Yugi kindly interrupts him and says. ''The robots are still a threat Naruto-kun.''
Naruto sweat drops admitting he forgot how powerful those things are and if they don't beat them all at once, they'll adapt to their attacks with that large number; it kinda makes sense why Sonic and Danny are doing their thing.
''I agree. Taking care of the robots is more important.'' Alicia states siding with Yugi's idea.
''Then how do you expect we go over the fence?'' Rosie asks the most reasonable question. Yugi just smirks eyeing the two alchemists and calls them out. ''Edward-kun, Alphonse-kun; your turn.''
Ed just grins proclaiming as he claps his hands together with Al sweat dropping. ''You guys are lucky we're Alchemists.''
The two brothers sneak to the fence to precede their plan. Yugi then approaches Jonouchi and asks him. ''Jonouchi-kun, I have a favor.''
The dirty colored blond-headed blinks eyeing his best friend, hearing him out.
After a few minutes of preparing, Sonic runs off to the end of the base. He looks up at the robots patrolling, unaware of his presence yet and he calls them out. ''Hey tin cans!''
The robots immediately detect a voice and look down. They spot the blue hedgehog now wagging his butt towards them.
''Looking for this butt?'' Sonic asks them with a grin on his face. The robots' eyes all glow and red as they declare flying downward towards their target. ''DESTROY!''
Sonic smirks taking off at top speed with the robots in pursuit. He takes them away to the base to the open countryside.
''DESTROY!'' The robots all declare in unity as they fire their energy blasts from their hands. Sonic easily dodges through their lasers like dodgeball while he yawns unimpressed.
Silently following the group, Danny watches from afar over the sky and invisible.
Danny sweat drops amazed at times how Sonic sees everything as a joke or fun. Regardless the ghost boy follows him while oddly able to play Doomed ULTRA with Tucker. He will not question how the PDA Smart device thing his best friend created has Wi-Fi while intangible.
Taking this moment without the robots around, both Ed and Al transmuted a hole underneath the outside of the fence to inside it. The group enters said hole and once inside the base, they split into two while the rest were with the Edelweiss.
''So…'' Kurosaki mutters up split with himself, Judai, Jonouchi oddly leading… but also they were with Rosie, Edy, Homer and Susie. Ichigo never complains with Yugi's planning but for once he kinda has to especially the glaring stares Jonouchi and Rosie are making at the other like kids.
''Yugi messed up who goes with whom, did he?'' He asks Judai who just nudge his shoulders with a smile on his face, pretty sure Yugi didn't miss up.
''In the matter of fact Kurosaki, Yugi ASKED me to be part of this team as leader.'' Jonouchi points out very confident. Kurosaki sweat drops more until Rosie calls out angrily at such nonsense. ''Like hell! You only talk jokes and-''
''SHUT IT FRECKLES! I may not be a general, commander or lieutenant but I have PLAYED many war games to actually be some useful!'' Jonouchi yells at her back completely having the knowledge of war from his games. Sure, they're different but he takes his games serious.
This did not secure the concerns of many especially Rosie grabbing Jonouchi by the shirt and straight tells this confident idiot up to his face. ''This isn't a game! You're just a damn brat that will get us killed!''
Jonouchi glares angrily almost going to bark at her. The two glare at each other intensely.
''I wish Rosie didn't fight so much with Jonouchi-san.'' Susie, shivering a bit, expresses finding this all so unnecessary in a squad. Kurosaki sighs agreeing with her. ''You and me both.''
Judai just tries to smile, sweat dropping behind the back of his head as he speaks up positive. ''I'm sure those two will resolve their differences.''
Kurosaki eyes him with a look of distrust only to receive Judai's smiling face. He grunts a bit stating. ''You're a damn positive person Judai.''
''Hehe, someone has to.'' Judai replies knowing what they need best is for everyone to be calm, not fight among themselves and stick together… he learned that lesson the hard way.
''I wish they kiss and make up.'' Edy, however, declares with both hands on her wrist with a mischievous grin on her face. This immediately snaps both Jonouchi and Rosie from their bitter glare stare and panic.
''BUT SHE'S OLDER THAN ME- Then again-'' Jonouchi begins to bark out though he pauses and thinks about it. Rosie, however, pushes him aside at such a thing with him, protesting it. ''LIKE HELL I'LL DO SUCH A THING WITH THIS PEST!''
Kurosaki just sweat drops at the thought of that.
''Edy, did you have to say that?'' Homer asks very unease they're even discussing this. Edy just giggles very calmly explaining herself. ''Oh Homer, you wouldn't understand how lover works. You see-''
Both Jonouchi and Rosie rush at her face and both yell out in unity. ''WE SAID NO!''
Edy shivers like a leaf by the shockwave of their combine shouts, muttering out. ''N-never mind then.''
''… We're going to die.'' Kurosaki mutters to himself now pretty sure they won't survive for long.
The other group which is Yugi, Ichigo, Ed and Al are with Welkin, Alicia, Jann and Marina try to sneak towards the weapon and vehicle station of the base. They looked up ahead to see numerous of enemy soldiers just chatting among themselves or doing their orders or whatever. Yugi looks at the number of weapons some soldiers were working on and their tanks too, each one different from the ones they were fighting against so far. The tricolor head didn't need to question they were much more advanced and this concerned him.
''Welkin-kun, you have to tell me how the Empire developed all of this so quickly?'' Yugi asks the young Gunther who even he's not sure how. He replies with a firm look as honest as he could put it. ''I wish I knew the answer but as far as we know the Empire got the means rather too quick.''
Alicia frowns agreeing that the way the Empire has gained all those weapons on top of those machines is impossible. She turns to the tricolor head and asks him reminded of what they said about their blue hedgehog friend. ''You guys mention this can be the work of an enemy of Sonic's. Could that be the case?''
Yugi hums thinking about it. Robotnik would be possible for all of these especially with Sonic's statement that the robots look like his work in a way… but also the mere fact on why wouldn't the doctor just go after Sonic instead and help a place he has no reason to assist. Maybe for his goals but this all seems bizarre to be him, especially the other thing Sonic mentioned that the doctor would always reveal himself. Something isn't right and it could be someone else familiar with his technology. And other than those reasons, Eggman wouldn't be alone.
''Probably… but Doctor Robotnik or Eggman, whatever you want to call him, loves to show himself and monologue Sonic's defeat. And also… he would be here too.'' Yugi states with a firm look. Alicia blinks by what he's referring about. Ichigo knew what her tricolor head is speaking of and explains it to the others. ''Dark Leader Dragon, an enemy of ours and one who wants Yugi-kun dead.''
Alicia makes a face almost not buying his word. Welkin just looks rather puzzle by this enemy's villain. Like a little kid created it to be some kind of super villain
''He must be manly to have such a bizarre name?'' Jann expresses imagining a buff man wearing a fake outfit.
''Nope, he's much worst.'' Ed states not looking forward to see that lizard breathe with hungry issues.
''Hmm… Is he… that evil?'' Marina asks now a bit curious. Yugi hums crossing his arms a bit and answers honestly with all the threats the evil dragon has told him. "Something like that yes. He said he would eat me up one day, chop me up and leave me really, truly dead.''
Karl gulps at such a thing for a human to say he will eat another human.
''You sure say that as if he's not human.'' Alicia proclaims confuse by this villain being a weird cannibal human. Yugi sweat drops about to explain he's not exactly human but Ed beats him to it stating. ''Give it time. The more you hang out with us, you'll eventually meet him.''
''G-great?'' Alicia utters sweat dropping still very much confused.
Stomping his feet impatiently, Naruto grunts as he is with Jenny, Winry and the rest of Squad 7 waiting inside the Edelweiss.
''Just my luck to be in here.'' Naruto mutters upset wanting to be in the fight. Emile and Oscar also felt the same grumpy about waiting too. Winry sweat drops getting why Ed likes his group; the majority of them are just as impatient as him.
Jenny sighs at the so-called ''patient'' Shinobi and clarifies it to him calmly and the others. ''Yugi and I both agree you'll be our ace once Isara gets over the fence when it's disabled.''
Naruto still grunts about it and mutters in somewhat agreement. ''I guess, ya know.''
''You're pretty confident about the plan?'' Largo asks the older Mutou pretty amazed by her calm nature. Jenny eyes him and responds still calmly. ''I am. One must be positive and have a clear mind for any situation.''
Largo smirks agreeing with her. Jenny now mutters waiting in her chair. ''Now we wait.''
Meanwhile both groups get into their positions to attack the enemy. Welkin knew the enemy will notice eventually that their machines are no longer in view and they will put the base on high alarm. They have to act now as he speaks quietly through his handheld transceiver. ''On my mark…''
The other teams hear that from their transceivers and prepare themselves with Jonouchi's the most serious.
''Everyone, advance!'' Welkin gives the command and everyone commence their attack starting with Ed and Al slamming their palms and hits the ground with them with sparks flying out.
Right away the enemy soldiers begin feeling shaking on the ground, each one shouting in awe. ''WHAT THE?!''
The earth begins opening up and hundreds of earth-like fists slams across the face of most Imperial soldiers. They scream as the others try to do something only to immediately get blasted by Elemental HERO Rampart Blaster, sending them through the walls of most tank stations and most missiles hit the open view tanks, destroying them instantly. The rest of Squad 7 commences their own surprise gun firing at the still startled enemy, taking them down instantly.
''Show time then.'' Kurosaki mutters slamming his Substitute Shinigami Badge across his chest and his real body drops hard on top of Jonouchi yelping. ''WA!''
Kurosaki emerges in his Shinigami form and dashes into the group of Imperial Soldiers, swiping his fists across their chests as he takes out 8-9 of them around him. He then grabs and pulls Zangetsu from his back and swings so fiercely that it fires a thin air blast that blows 20 of the enemy soldiers flying back as well as tumble over a tank.
Edy and Homer drop their jaws slightly not sure how that happen even though the carrot top states it's all him while he's unconscious. They eye the almost dead body of Kurosaki and Jonouchi, sweat dropping, explains as simple as he can put it. ''Relaxed, he's well… doing his thing. But never mind! Now charge!''
''Why should we following you?! You're-'' Rosie once more challenges the thought of having him lead her group while taking fire but suddenly freezes up. Jonouchi, making a cocky face, assumes that she realizes he is their temporary leader and expresses with a grin. ''What? Cat got your tongue?''
Jonouchi blinks seeing the others in his group freezing up and looks at the direction they were looking at. He then widens his eyes a bit. He tabs on Jonouchi's shoulder and tells him. ''Um you better look there Jonouchi-san.''
Jonouchi hums turning like his friend suggest and there he immediately drops his jaw seeing appearing from a tank station were robots with tank bottoms and two barrel cannon rifles with their arms being machine guns. The dirty colored blond headed sweat drops greatly and curses out softly. ''Oh… crap.''
Unexpected results for our groups. Can they handle this new surprise or are they goners?
Commercial Break:
Jonouchi: I don't care what Freckles says, we'll win this through my leadership… if we survive *gulp*
Jenny: I hope everyone is doing well.
Both groups were completely left in surprise not expecting more robots but part tank. The machines didn't waste time opening fire at their targets. In Yugi's group, the tricolor head blocks their bullets by firing a Dragon Slice Attack while Ed transmute a wave of spikes at them. Alicia assists them firing at their heads fast though much like the other robots they began to adapt and the bullets didn't do much.
"ARE THOSE TANK BOTS NOW?!'' Both Ichigo and Alicia shout in horror and yet unease by the thought there are tank robots when flying ones are better. Ed blinks at such a thing too with Al muttering. ''Didn't know there were those now?''
''My apology; neither did we.'' Welkin apologizes as he fires his rifle at the machines but even those hits were being adapt and not fazing the enemy. Yugi nods though he isn't concern about it but he is for the others.
''I'm more worry about Jonouchi and the others.'' The tricolor head expresses, hoping to finish this fast to help the others before it is too late.
For Jonouchi's group, however, they all take cover right away as their robot enemies were firing rapidly at where they were.
''DAMN IT-DAMN IT.'' The dirty colored blond headed repeats in a loud panicking tone, hiding behind heavy cover as he and his group aren't doing well. Even Judai's Rampart Blaster was destroyed and it had a large shield to stop those attacks. Worst part was attacking these things because since they can adapt from a few hits. They had to time it right and it also DIDN'T help these things can track Kurosaki in his Shinigami form, forcing him to evade their attacks than to be a surprise attack.
''Great, if we destroy a few of them, they'll adapt to our attacks like the others.'' Edy points the obviously basically like what had happened the other times. Except those times they had more of Team Dragon Knight to make the job easier. Now not so much.
Rosie grunts angrily eyeing the damn non-general of their small group and calls him out upset of their situation. ''This is all basically your friend's fault we're in this position!''
''Like hell this is Yugi's fault! We didn't even know there were other robot types!'' Jonouchi protests now angry at her, not going to allow his best friend from getting the blame. Naturally Rosie didn't listen as she adds even more enrage. ''My commander has too much faith in your friend! So it is HIS fault!''
This was crossing the line for Jonouchi as he finally yells at her while pointing his finger at her. ''Stop putting blame on others Freckles! You've been against me and my friends since day 1!''
''Maybe I wouldn't be if you weren't all children!'' Rosie then yells back just as mad. Jonouchi glares venomous at her as she did with him, both their bickering has had it with Kurosaki trying to hold his own against the robots… but he wasn't the only one who was done with this nonsense.
Stepping in between the two was surprisingly Judai, stating quite firm as his eyes briefly glow orange-teal color eyes. ''Look you two. End this bickering! This isn't the time to fight among ourselves. We need to work together and beat the villains before they get us. Now stop this before I will!''
Jonouchi is frozen by this while Rosie oddly shivers not sure why. The others just stare just as speechless all expecting Judai was basically the calm, funny and chill one of the group; this surprised them greatly.
''…'' Silent as he repels the incoming attacks with his large Zanpakuto, even Kurosaki is taken back by Judai's change of nature. Danny wasn't kidding; he does hide his real self.
Judai takes a moment to breathe deeply, his eyes reverting back, as he tells the two nicely. ''At least try to get along and work together. Both Yugi-san and Welkin would want that from us all.''
Jonouchi frowns, admitting the kid is right. Even Rosie agrees that her commander would expect more from each one of Squad 7. That's how they survived this far. The two now eye each other and without saying much, they just nod, going to put their difference aside.
Judai smiles to hear that now asking the others. ''Now we need a plan. Any suggestions?''
No one was certain what they can do until.
''… What if we hit their ground?'' Susie suddenly speaks up causing most to blink, eyeing from their corners at the robots' tank wheels. They think about it and Rosie is the one to decide holding her rocket close. ''Works with me!''
''For once, I agree Freckles!'' Jonouchi sides with her on this too. Judai chuckles happy to see them agreeing.
''Cover me then!'' Rosie tells them trying to take aim from her corner as the robots were still shooting at them. Kurosaki tries to get their attention but then some fire rockets, forcing him to evade them as he charges forward and slashes them before they could react.
Just then more enemy soldiers appear and join in firing at the group. Judai acts fast, summoning Neos and his hero slaps them all so hard they didn't know what hit them knocking them out. However three enemy soldiers sneak up to Rosie's right flank. Jonouchi watches this and also reacts fast grabbing on Kurosaki's arms he's been piggybacking on.
''HEADS UP!'' Jonouchi shouts twirling his body fast and tosses Kurosaki's body right at the three Imperial soldiers, hitting them hard onto the ground. They gasp for breath for how heavy the unconscious teenager's body was. This surprised Rosie thinking she was almost a goner. Jonouchi chuckles saying. ''You are welcome Freckles!''
Rosie scoffs showing her blushing cheeks. She takes aim at the center of the machines with her rocket and fires it, hitting the ground below the robots but in between them, blasting off their tank wheels. Those hit drop to their sides were still autofiring and accidentally shoot at their own, either disabling or destroying them.
Jonouchi grins now calling out to the orange-headed Ichigo. ''We got them! Kurosaki!''
Kurosaki nods not wasting time and dashes downward with Shunpo, slashing with Zangetsu right through the unmovable tank robots and destroying the rest of them instantly.
Jonouchi yells of victory with Edy and Homer joining. He even hugs Rosie to her horror, pushing him.
''Too soon idiot.'' She tells him firmly with the dirty colored blond headed responding with his face on the ground. ''DON'T CARE…''
Soon the other group was able to beat their side using the same strategy of blasting their wheels and having themselves of shooting each other. Soon both groups reunited with Ichi declaring joyfully. ''We're winning Nya!''
''Um it's too soon to-'' Alicia tries to explain that their victory isn't theirs yet but then gets interrupted by Jonouchi yelling proudly. ''NOW WHO-''
Before he could finish himself the group hears trembling and turns to the main station. Smashing right through said doors appears a gigantic tank-like machine with large rifle cannon and multiple smaller cannons around its sides.
Jonouchi drops his jaw uttering out of terror. ''Want some?''
Danny watches almost starting to get bored as Sonic continues toying around with the robots chasing him, dodging their instant energy beams as if they were in slow motion. It looks cool… if this wasn't supposed to be taken serious.
''Come on guys!'' Sonic calls them out encouraging them to try harder. The robots proceed to fire their machine guns but the blue hedgehog evades them just as easily. He now yawns, taking an instant stop and declares pretty much done with this. ''You're all too slow!''
Turning to his left, Sonic runs off but this time runs around the robots all within a center point. The blue hedgehog grins running faster and faster around them, slowly forming some kind of blue tornado. Danny sees this and knows it's time for his turn.
''Okay, game time.'' He tells himself flying right over the enemy machines. Danny focuses and creates 4 duplicates of himself over them.
''All together…'' The real Danny commands as his copies all agree and swirl in a rectangle pose. They all take a deep breath in and right away all of them call out in a powerful shout. ''GHOSTLY WAIL CAROL!''
All of them unleash the powerful, ghostly sonic mouth blast except this one was echo almost like a carol in great volume. The sound waves hit and immediately tears through the robots, destroying them from the inside out. Sonic manages to evade them running away from the range and whistles at Danny's new trick.
Danny sighs of relief that work as his duplicates vanish and he descends to get treated with the blue hedgehog instantly in front of him.
''Woah! That was awesome! Not bad ghost boy!'' Sonic remarks his ghostly friend and his new attack. Danny blushes a bit training in making this work. Since Ghostly Wail drained him heavily before, he never thought about using it with Duplication or else he would left in a badly tired position. Things were much different now.
''Wanted to try that. Got the idea after I beaten a Rhyming Poem Ghost I DO NOT want to deal with ever again.'' Danny explains with a small grin on his face still floating.
Sonic blinks by that asking him. ''Huh? Was it that bad?''
Danny shivers a bit remembering those events… worst Christmas in his life, period. He then replies. ''For me, yes. It was easy how I beat him. What rhymes with orange?''
''Sporange!'' Sonic immediately answers and this causes the environment to be silent. Danny gives a look of rage and anger, holding back those feelings. Sonic grins explaining himself. ''It's like a sac that spores are made of. Tails taught me that one.''
''… Let's just get back to the others.'' Danny declares mumbling to himself not believing this. Sonic just chuckles calling out running full blast ahead of him. ''Last one there buys me chili dogs!''
Danny watches the blur that was Sonic running off already miles away. He sighs already aware he's going to have to buy the hedgehog one. He takes flight and flies after him, wondering how Yugi and the others.
''Um…'' Jonouchi and Ichi both utter speechless staring at the large and most dangerous enemy tank in front of them. Yugi gulps admitting that thing looks cool but it didn't help their case.
''That's one huge super tank.'' Judai expresses pretty amazed. Welkin didn't like this as the top of the enemy tank opens up to reveal a familiar figure that panics Alicia.
''Well-well, didn't expect we would meet again young lady.'' Speaking from on top of the open tank is Jaeger himself. Alicia glares very unease, blushing angrily, as she calls him out upset. ''And I'm not thrill to see your face too!''
Yugi and the rest among in Team Dragon Knight all blink with the tricolor head asks. ''Enemy?''
Welkin glares nodding explaining it to him. ''That's one of current King's Drei Sterns, Radi Jaeger!''
Jonouchi makes a face, thinking this guy looks cool but that name is bothering, with Yugi blinking. He recalls what he was told that the prince now king has 3 generals. This must be one of them.
''We've met him before and he flirts!'' Alicia states still very upset. Ichigo hums able to tell from experience those two know each other well and not in great terms.
''… What the hell does Drei Stern means?'' Jonouchi questions the weird foreign name ignoring Alicia's statement. She grunts by that with Judai answering his question. ''Means General.''
''IN WHAT LANGUAGE?!'' The dirty colored blond-head yells enrage by the stupid name. Kurosaki sweat drops sometimes thinking he's not so bright even though he's a duelist.
Jaeger, at the meantime, raises an eyebrow almost rather surprise by this group. He has been told of this Team Dragon Knight from his prince- his king's ally but he expected them to be older; not younger than the majority of Squad 7. Regardless, this also amazes him meaning these kids aren't pushovers.
''Wow… I was expected elites, not a bunch of kids to be pushing the Empire around.'' He expresses still surprise before asking much like his normal, confident demeanor. ''So, which one of you would be this Dragon Knight?''
Jonouchi was about to bark out that he is to protect his best friend but Yugi beats him to it replying with a small smile. "That would be me sir.''
Once more Jaeger blinks rather astonished that the so-called ''threat'' that Artemis brought help Gallia is a kid much younger and doesn't have the look like he's been in fights that risk his life.
''Hmm, did not expect this. Tell me kid, you sure have some courage to challenge us huh?'' He asks the young man not sure if he should take him serious or pity the kid. Yugi hums about the question looking at him with a look a general like Jaeger could immediately tell; he's not to be underestimated.
Alicia glares preparing to shoot him but Yugi stops her, just smiling as he looks up at their enemy.
''Something like that but I won't let your king take control of this land and kill more people. I refuse to let that happen!'' Yugi speaks up with a voice that shows he won't back away. Jaeger chuckles a bit, now able to understand the kind of child he is and he rather likes that.
''Oh, interesting. I like you kid.'' He tells the young man but then he adds with a firm gaze. ''Just a shame we're enemies. I'm not the type to like killing kids.''
Yugi didn't need to read his aura to tell if he was telling the truth; he could already tell from his eyes. He asks him nicely. "Well you don't have to fight us? We can be on the same side.''
This stunned everyone from Squad 7 while the others in Team Dragon Knight weren't surprise. Alicia eyes the tricolor head, not believing he's trying to convert the enemy to their side. Is he crazy or just too damn nice to realize that can never happen?
Much like she expected, Jaeger sighs at such a proposal and turns it down stating. ''I'd loved to but can't. I serve my king and as selfish you might think of me, I have my reasons to fight as well.''
Yugi nods respecting his wishes though his kind expression didn't change instead saying. ''I kinda know but your fancy tank won't help you.''
Jaeger smirks by that declaration and intends to show him entering the tank once more, closing the top.
''You better have a plan Yugi.'' Welkin asks him not sure what he can do to stop this thing. Not even the Edelweiss would last against this monster. The tricolor head just smiles pulling out the Dragon Sword.
''Kinda do! EVERYONE RUN!'' Yugi yells alarming the group as he runs to take cover. The others blink and soon follow as the tank starts firing all over the blast, hitting where they stood and would have killed them leaving small craters behind.
They watch the super tank blast and shooting all over the place before stopping, now waiting for them to make a move.
''What's even the plan?!'' Alicia questions really hating this plan so far. Ichi also agrees ordering him. ''Yugi-kun, just slash or blast the tank or-''
''Have you guys notice it would be a shame if they couldn't see anything driving that huge tank?'' The cat girl blinks awkwardly by Yugi's question who's eyeing the tank rather calm. She hums poking her head to look at the super tank, this time trying to observe it. It was Ed who immediately notices it and states it. ''Blinding their view would help us but we don't have the means to do so.''
Yugi nods as he looks around and has a good feeling there's more than one of those crazy tanks in this place. He says this out loud. ''And we also need to take into account there could be more than one of those things here.''
''Then we better destroy the power source of the base to have the Edelweiss attack the rest of the base.'' Welkin suggests as it is their best chance to stop the enemy.
''Done it.'' Judai states with a small grin. This suddenly causes everyone to eye him with confused eyes.
''What do you mean you did it?'' Kurosaki questions not sure what he means. Judai hums pointing his finger at the large building. There they watch in horror as the base suddenly sinks into the ground and breaks apart, falling on top of its own. Jaeger and his men inside the tank see this to their absolute shock too.
In that instant the volt power fences all turned off as did all power in the enemy base. It was also when something is digging out near what remains of the destroyed base and it was Neo-Spacian Grand Mole winking before vanishing.
''YOU DROPPED THEIR ENTIRE BASE!'' Edward yells loudly and awe with Ichi dropping her jaw speechless. Judai nods grinning as he begins to say. ''Why have an invisible samurai-''
''SHINIGAMI-'' Kurosaki yells at him not going to tolerate that name. Judai nods and corrects himself with a devilish smirk. ''SOUL REAPER, to destroy an entire base while a Grand Mole does the job just perfectly.''
Kurosaki grunts annoyed by that stupid nickname Danny gave him. He hates it, feels insulted even.
Yugi chuckles pretty amazed and yet stun as he turns to a just a stunned Welkin and tells him tapping his shoulder. ''Welkin-kun, send in the Edelweiss but away from this thing.''
Welkin, still startled what just happens, snaps out and calls to the Edelweiss with his transceiver and those around him. ''Everyone else, prevent the enemy from getting into any tanks!''
On cue, Isara gets the message and drives the Edelweiss right through the fence. The tank immediately opens up its back door so the others can get out as it fires a shell into an enemy station, destroying it.
Welkin's group sees that and has his group head out. Alicia, however, pauses eyeing to Yugi stating back with Ed.
''Wait what the heck are you going to do?'' Alicia asks the tricolor head who just smiles at her and replies. ''Stalling for time.''
She blinks watching Yugi charging forward with Ed transmuting large pillars underneath the super tank. However the pillar just shatters when the tank fires from below it to the alchemist's surprise. It then fires on them but Yugi intercepts with Dragon Slice Attack, both attacks exploding on contact.
As that went on, everyone of Squad 7 shoot down the remaining Imperial soldiers from reaching any tank stations in case of another super tank. Naruto leaps over the battlefield at the remaining bases. He knew it was his turn to shine.
''MY TURN YA KNOW! MULTIPLE SHADOW CLONE TECHNIQUE!'' Naruto shouts crossing his fingers and smoke surrounds him. Emerging well rather diving in is Naruto with a hundred or more clones coming downward each holding a Rasengan in their right palms.
''RASENGAN BARRAGE!'' Naruto and his clones all shout slamming their attacks upon all the stations and sets up a destructive blast, tearing through them and destroys them as well as all enemy tanks and equipment.
Jenny watches this sweat dropping as she spots the real Naruto emerging from the dust of the destruction he made with a big grin on his face.
''Of course he would do that, destructive idiot.'' Jenny mutters somewhat upset by the fact how powerful the knuckle-head is.
As that went on, Ed and Yugi were doing their best to handle the super tank with Alicia oddly watching them. She isn't sure why she's watching them but she wanted to know how the tricolor head intends to beat the tank.
Yugi watches as the tank was going to be harder to beat under normal means. He'll still need to buy time so he better borrow a trick Naruto taught him; make large numbers.
''I need a boost you two.'' Yugi speaks telepathically to Yin-Yang Dragon with the two-headed dragons nodding. His body briefly erupting in a reddish aura, Yugi declares crossing his fingers. ''DRAGON CLONE TECHNIQUE!''
Smoke covers the field and shooting over it is 40 Dragon Clones launching at the giant tank. The tank resumes firing, blasting the clones though they resist slashing the tank missiles but were still destroyed. Yugi smirks as he creates more Dragon Clones, surrounding the tank on all sides blocking its view with Ed transmuting more pillars to hit it. The tank does budge but it fires destroying the pillars and most of the clones too.
''Partner, you're not planning to destroy the tank?'' Atem questions most puzzle since anything strong Yugi could use will end this problem without trying. Heck, even his Dragon Blade Mode will put an end to this without trying. Yugi is aware of this… but he's also aware of the lives inside the tank. If he tries anything too strong or reckless, the tank might explode and kill those inside. It's one thing to kill someone actually evil… but it's also wrong to take a life that doesn't deserve to lose. He refuses to make such a choice.
''I don't want to hurt anyone inside. Anyone else can decide to do that but I won't take a life like that. I don't want to.'' Yugi gives his reasons why he won't to his partner. Atem eyes him and sighs not going to question his reasons. After all, he does make a point that only Yugi would state.
''Besides, those two finally showed up.'' Yugi then adds coming out from the smoke and gets next to Ed in their corner. It's there he points his point to Ed's other side. The blond colored alchemist blinks turning and startles badly to see Sonic there, waving at the two with Danny just showing up, panting as he had to catch up.
''Woah, you notice me without freaking out. Neat!'' Sonic expresses with a soft grin at the tricolor head who smiles. Danny looks over their cover and sees the tank, sweat dropping how pretty… ridicule looking but dangerous the thing looks.
Sonic also pokes his head to see the enemy tank and whistles how cool that looks even if it's trying to kill them.
''Sonic-kun, distract it. Danny-kun, make sure they can use the tank anymore.'' Yugi commands the two who eye him and both nod in agreement stating.''Got it!''
Sonic runs off first like a blur going to need a wrench and luckily knew where to get one while Danny went invisible towards the tank.
Helping them, Yugi emerges out from his corner and creates more Dragon Clones to distract the tank with Ed following his lead by transmuting waves of earth spikes. The tank withstands the spikes as it fires at them but the clones intercept the blasts, exploding on them instead.
Jaeger watches this in his commander chair, observing the kid's strategy and so far none of it makes any sense. He's been told this boy is capable of destroying the robot soldiers. Then why hasn't he done anything to destroy the tank?
''What is this kid up to?'' He mutters questionable of his plan of attack. He still commands his troops to continue fire which they did but suddenly it refuses to work. This shocked the soldier controlling the tank firing controls warning his commander. ''Sir, we can't fire! It's not working-''
Sparks of electricity flies out from the control panel surprising him badly. Jaeger notices those, realizing somehow he disable the tank's cannon through something crazy. Outside the tank had stopped firing and Danny phases out of it coming out visible. Not only him but Sonic now appearing next to Yugi, holding a wrench he borrowed from Winry (more like took it and leaving the young man speechless what just happened) that he uses to remove all the barrels from the tank.
Jaeger looks through the screen inside the tank and chuckles pretty surprise by this. The kid got them. The tank could only move and if their tank fires at them, they won't last for long. Just ramming them over wouldn't work. They lost, he lost and it was funny since he lost not to a general or a soldier, but a kid and a bunch of his friends.
''Ha, clever kid.'' He expresses not regretting this loss, at least for now. Jaeger eyes his men and commands with a small smile. ''Alright, retreat. We can't continue this fight.''
They nod as the tank starts moving away from the enemy and drives off fast. Ed claps his hands not going to let them go but Yugi stops him, stating his reason. ''Let them be Edward-kun, they lost so let them leave with some sense of safety.''
''Phew, fine. But next time I won't let them escape.'' Ed argues not happy to let the bad guys run away but he'll trust the tricolor head's judgment.
Yugi just smiles saying pretty relaxed. ''Besides I'm hoping I can see him again anyway.''
''Whatever you say, Yugi.'' Danny replies a bit astonished by the guy's optimistic nature.
Yugi smiles for his victory… but Alicia eyes him questioning his decision. How can he think the way he is aware a lot is on the line. Why let the enemy go? Why not kill them or capture them before they come back again? Why?
After securing the remaining and breathing Imperial Soldiers in cages, the base was theirs or at least what remain of it. Regardless, Yugi just smiles at their success.
''Things turn out better than I hoped.'' The tricolor states most happy with the end results. Kurosaki sweat drops by his positive nature even when they could have died if they didn't get along much like what was happening between Jonouchi and Rosie.
''Except the part with Jonouchi and that woman Rosie picking a damn fight. We could have gotten kill if they continue fighting among themselves.'' He tells the tricolor head who just smiles pretty relax and answers pretty honest. ''Nay. I knew they would resolve their issues, at least temporary.''
Kurosaki just makes a face, not sure if Yugi is lying or not… then again, it was his idea that Jonouchi would lead his group with- Wait, did Yugi knew this was going to happen and knew they would somehow resolve this bitterness.
The orange-headed just drops his jaw a bit, realizing everything, as he eyes the tricolor head who just smiles.
''… You sure love to prove people can get along.'' He tells him a little bit disturb by his good nature. It's a relief he's not their enemy or something.
Yugi just grins as he walks off next to Ichi. Kurosaki sighs making a small smirk running back to his body... and sweating realizing the dirt all over him. He drops his head, realizing he shouldn't have trust Jonouchi with his body.
Another victory for Team Dragon Knight and Squad 7! Can both teams continue their best effort in ending the war sooner?
To be continued…

Next Time…
Our heroes now travel to Fouzen to free the Darcsen enslaved there as well as stop a massive, floating tank-like fortress from ending the war for Gallia. Can our teams achieve even when they get some more help from the Darcsen Resistance?
Judai: A moving fortress? I wanna say NEAT but it is bad right?
Alicia nods: Yes it is! If we don't put an end to it, then it might give the Empire the victory they want.
Isara: And also many innocent Darcsen are being enslaved and-
Jonouchi glares at Rosie: Yes… a lot of INNOCENT PEOPLE of another race who don't need a freckle face redhead to call them scum or something dumb!
Yugi sweat drops: And I kinda agree?
Ichigo sighs: Well let's hope it doesn't turn ugly Nya. Next time in Yu-Gi-Oh! Dragon Knight Reborn: Operation: Save Fouzen! Please remember to read, enjoy and review Nya. See you all next time!
Author's Note: Once again, a simple chapter but I have to so I can make at least some moments between Team Dragon Knight and Squad 7, at the least some or else I would be doing this for longer which will NOT be the case. Regardless, I hope you all are enjoying this and the battle war scenario a bit. I mean this will lead somewhere, plus this arc will not be long, so do not worry. In fact, hopefully by Chapter 13 or ish, the good parts will happen and I am excited for those!
