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!

Volume 4: Episode 15: Awaken, The Bonds of these Resonating Flames!
In the previous episode of DKR:
The battle for Randgriz commenced as Team Dragon Knight and Squad 7 along with every remaining Gallian Soldier launched their attack against the Imperial Soldiers and their robots. Our heroes easily pushed forward not wasting time but standing now on their way is Selvaria, wielding the legendary Valkyria lance and shield and vowed she will end them here unleashing her full power as a Valkyria. Yugi could feel this sensation and eyed Alicia feeling that before from her. He gave Judai and the others a chance to run ahead which Faldio and Judai did to get what they need to help Alicia.
The young Dragon Knight prepared to fight her but then up above the city, Maximillian's image is showed as well as his hooded ally who began to say something to Sonic before fully revealed to be none other than Metal Sonic. The real blue hedgehog actually laughed forgetting about Metal for a while now and also how the robots are based on Egghead's designs. Maximillian explained his victory as appearing over the horizon is a gigantic drill-like battle machine of destruction. The Marmotah, Maximillian's ace weapon of victory, now centered within Randgriz and attached itself to a powerful lance-like statue being a Ragnite Weapon from the Valkyrurs and with it the machine showcased its destructive power destroying a mountain.
Threatened by this super weapon but worry to leave the others to fight Selvaria, Yugi hesitated to what he should do but got his answered from Alicia. She told him to stop Maximillian and protect those who need you. Smiling a bit and seeing everyone else trusting him, Yugi nodded heading out ahead to confront the evil king. Selvaria wasn't going to let that happened but is stopped by Kurosaki now in Bankai form and Naruto who will be her opponent as well as Ichigo as Mew Ichigo.
Alicia, now eyeing her friend, tried to remind her of their friendship though to her surprised Selvaria already remembered her and how this changed nothing as her loyalty, her absolute believe in her king is all she needs now. Sadden to this realization and still hesitative to harm her, Alicia wasn't sure what to do.
The battle against the full power Azure Witch began as the three couldn't actually land a strong hit due to her powerful blue flames defense and fire energy blasts from her lance. The battle still seem evenly but Selvaria used a Chaos Emerald in her position to everyone's horror except Alicia but quickly realized their bad situation that Selvaria was too powerful.
Now within the castle up ahead of the others holding back the enemy forces, Judai and Faldio found the princess' hidden room containing the book that Faldio needed to confirm his suspicious that indeed Alicia is a Valkyria and both the sacred Valkyrur lance and shield that will help unlock her full potential… however, as he feared, Alicia must experience death in order to awaken her full potential. Judai, reminded of how he became the Supreme King through loss and pain, protested knowing she can unlock that power without dying.
Grabbing the weapons, Judai rushes back as quickly as he could and reached Alicia and the others struggling and worst seeing the hopeless expression on her face. It also didn't help that Mew Ichigo was fighting the Azure Witch basically alone while Kurosaki and Naruto are pinned against a group of robots with Ragnite enforced armor. Judai tried to encourage Alicia to fight for those who care for her but Selvaria, seeing those weapons and fearing to fight another Valkyria, shoots down at the former Osiris student with a powerful blue fire blast. Alicia, seeing this, reacts on impulse with her superior speed and pushed Judai out of the way taking the hit instead. Widening his eyes, Alicia dropped bleeding horribly from her back and through her gut.
Has Alicia just died? Was all of this worthless? Is there no chance left to stop Selvaria? Hmm… find that out now.
And now the conclusion... last left off in the previous episode:
There was a sense of silence other than the battle Kurosaki and Naruto were having as they too had just witnessed Alicia saying Judai from Selvaria's attack but she got hit instead. She was lying on the ground, her stomach bleeding as did her back from the fire blast of the Azure Witch.
Judai had a face almost about to break apart, not ever feeling such a scene not since the Dark Dimension. He grits his teeth angrily gripping his hands.
"A-Alicia-chan…'' Mew Ichigo utters moving on all fours to reach her. She gets next to Judai and shakes the unconscious girl not responding.
''Alicia-chan!'' The cat girl yells trying to wake her up but nothing. Worrying with a face she had when she thought Yugi had died, Mew Ichigo leans down to Alicia's chest and focuses with her large cat ears for a heart beating. Thankfully she heard it but it was slowing down.
Not wasting time the cat girl points with her Strawberry Bell over Alicia and the heart-shaped weapon starts glowing brightly. The two are surrounded by a pink veil of light as the Mew Mew tries using her energy to heal Alicia. Judai can feel the healing energy eyeing Ichigo starting to cry.
''Get yourself together Alicia-chan!'' Mew Ichigo begs wanting to see Alicia alive so badly right now. She didn't care if she was upset, happy, sad or embarrassed; she wanted to see her with everyone.
Selvaria watches this taken back why this cat girl is doing whatever she's doing.
Tightening on his blade, Kurosaki couldn't let this go on. He glares at the robots and charges at them angrily, engulfing Tensa Zangetsu with a Getsuga Tensho. The energy enhanced blade cuts right through one of the robots. The machine explodes in a violent burst of black, red outline energy.
''I won't let you trash bins get in our way!'' Kurosaki vows determined to not lose to them as he charges at the other robots while repelling them missiles or laser blasts.
Naruto roars pushing back the robots as he now has 3 chakra tails of the Kyuubi. Still having his sanity, Naruto crosses his finger and forms 2 Shadow Clones. They all leap up over the robots as they proceed to fire last beams at them.
''We won't let Alicia-chan die or anyone else!'' Naruto shouts as he and his clones all thrust their tails as they grew massive larger. The beams couldn't penetrate through the tails as they all manage to slam themselves hard across one of the robots, flattening it.
''Please don't die on us Nya!'' Mew Ichigo yells at Alicia using her healing to try to heal the wound from her stomach. As badly as she tried, the wound refused to close up making the cat girl to use more of her power.
Selvaria watches this and has seen enough not risking if by a slim chance Alicia could be a Valkyria and could oppose her and Maximillian. Even if she has to be the one to kill her friend, it's all for her king.
''You won't get the chance.'' She begins to say tightening the grip on her lance and shield. She prepares to point her lance forward until she suddenly backs away evading a punch from Neos. She glares eyeing Judai in front of her with eyes full of rage. He puts down the Valkyria weapons next to Alicia and had them grip in her hands, knowing they'll be best kept next to her.
''Unforgivable. She's your friend and you shot her!'' Judai calls Selvaria out with such angry voice that he's doing his hardest not to snap. Selvaria just stares at him silent, not giving him an answer. This only enrages Judai that instead of Yubel's dual-colored eyes glowing, it was the golden raging eyes of the Supreme King gazing upon the Valkyria.
''I won't forgive you! Neos!'' Judai yells as Neos dashes at Selvaria, swinging a strong right hook then a massive left hook, over and over and over. Selvaria stands her ground defending the massive punches of Neos trying to break her guard.
Mew Ichigo watches this shock to see Judai so angry and serious. This is the first she's seen him so enrage. It was frightening.
''Judai-kun…'' She mutters as she tries to heal Alicia's wound with her magic.
Yubel appears behind Judai, sensing his anger or well what Haou used to be when he was angry. She calls him out remembering him what's more important. ''Judai, remember to calm yourself otherwise we won't save Alicia.''
Realizing that she made a good point, Judai nods firmly not forgetting. Neos starts swinging rapid barrage of punches forward but Selvaria uses her shield to block his attacks. She startles that the hero monster has her oddly pin with her shield still up.
''Pathetic. Your strength doesn't-'' Selvaria begins to say trying to lift her lance forward but Judai immediately pulls out two cards and uses them, being Polymerization and Elemental HERO Bladgedge, becoming Neos Knight. The newly fused Neos swings his twin-sided blade with greater force, actually pushing Selvaria shielded to her shock.
''W-what?!'' She utters trying to hold her ground as she points with her lance but Neos Knight stops her swinging his blade at her. Selvaria is forced to block it while being pushed back.
Judai looks back at the cat girl healing Alicia's wound but it doesn't seem she's stirring up anytime soon. He's really scared she might have- and then it hit him remembering what Faldio told him. He hated to counteract what he vowed that he'll prevent Alicia from dying to see if she was a Valkyria but right now that might be the only way to bring her back from death.
Needed to take a bet, Judai asks Mew Ichigo while he gives Neos more power to hold back Selvaria.''Ichigo-chan, can you heal her faster?!''
''I'm trying Nya! Alicia-chan is deeply unconscious.'' Mew Ichigo replies nervously doing her best to close her wound but no luck in restoring her senses.
Thinking back to what Faldio told him about Valkyria and her emotions, Judai had a crazy idea and asks the cat girl. ''Ichigo-chan, can you also contact Welkin?''
''W-why? This will break his-'' Mew Ichigo tries telling him but instantly Judai turns facing her and just orders her serious. ''Trust me. We have no choice! If we don't do this now, we won't beat Selvaria and Alicia might never wake up! Think of it like a fairy tale like-''
''Like Sleeping Beauty Nya!'' Gasping of her own surprise, Mew Ichigo shouts realizing how similar this situation was to the fairy tale. Judai blinks thinking of Snow White but nods stating with a soft grin. ''Exactly! Do it! I'll stall for time!''
He remembers the weapons and tells cat girl. ''Also have her hold those too!''
Mew Ichigo just stares at him baffled how will Alicia holding those weapons will help but she ignores it knowing what's important is keeping Alicia alive.
''Hang on Alicia-chan!'' She yells at her using more of her healing power to save her alive. If she doesn't, then she'll fail everyone in Squad 7, especially Welkin and letting down a friend too. Ichigo won't fail them. There, Ichigo notices the transceiver on Alicia's pocket and nods going to contact Welkin and others right after she patches up the wound.
The battle within Randgriz has become chaotic with the improve robots have completely dominated over Squad 7 and most of Team Dragon Knight. Ed and Al were forced to transmute walls and harden them to make sure they can withstand the enemy forces but not doing much.
''Geez these are too many of them!'' Danny admits how bad their situation is that even his duplicates are getting blasted easily.
''Not even the hedgehog can beat all these numbers.'' Ed also states watching how Sonic tries fighting the robots with Homing Attack but it bounces him back for each hit. The blue hedgehog hears that and smirks calling out the shorty. ''Oh yea? You haven't seen me at my best yet!''
Mew Plum, dodging laser attacks while trying to cut down robots with barely a scratch, had to admit too how bad their situation was right now.
''Still we need to beat them before they become too much woof.'' The dog girl points out using her Plum Saber to form her barrier against rockets and laser blasts. She swings her Plum Saber: Beam attack but it didn't even damage the robots at all.
Yugi eyes at Welkin and Squad 7 not able to do much with their weapons. If this goes on, they might die first and he isn't going to let that happen.
''My thoughts exactly.'' The tricolor head decides not going to let this continue. He reaches with the Dragon Sword as it glows. Ed nods in agreement adding while clapping his hands together. ''Let's do it then!''
Yugi makes a small smirk as the two stepped out fast away from the transmuted wall, glaring at the hundreds of robots over the sky.
Ed starts transmuting Blast Alchemy as Yugi goes for a Dragon Slice Attack but before any of them make a move at the enemy a flash of red shines and then a few of the robots above them were suddenly blasted and their pieces dropping. Yugi blinks awkwardly as did Ed dropping his jaw.
''W-was that you Edward-kun?'' Yugi asks with a stunned, awe expression. Ed turns giving him a look and replies honestly. ''Pretty sure that wasn't me.''
The tricolor head blinks wondering but he would get his answer from a voice calling out from above. ''That would be short-stump!''
Yugi and a gritting teeth Ed look up and see someone leaping down and lands next to them, wielding a transmuted sword on each hand with the right one over his shoulder. Neither one reorganize this guy except that he is wearing an Artemis Military uniform and a red cape with a bandanna around his head. The purple eyes then startles remembering the two sisters Karen and Lara wearing a similar red bandanna too and he knew who this person was. Ed, however…
''WHO ARE YOU CALLING SHORT! I'LL TURN YOU INTO A RICE GRAIN AND SMASH YOU!'' Ed goes berserk in another of his crazy rants. The older man blinks at first before he cracks a smirk and starts laughing. Edward drops his jaw at his mockery towards him.
''Hahaha! Aren't you a hoot.'' The strange declares patting Ed behind the back. The older Elric glares furious holding back his temper as hard as he could that his face turns red.
Yugi eyes the man who looks back at the kid and tells him. ''Thanks for not sharing my alchemy with Mustang, kid. I don't want his ego to grow like picking on our mouse size friend.''
''THAT IS OUT CALL FOR! AND WHO THE HELL DID YOU JUST CALL A MOUSE?! DO I EAT CHEESE?!'' Ed explodes in another rant yelling at the man who just laughs again. He calms down a bit before walking away.
''Anyway, I'll leave you kids with the robots. I'm off to save Cordelia and give you all some time.'' He tells them as he prepares to go on ahead. Ed just scoffs not caring where he goes as long as he doesn't see his face again. Yugi stares at him and just smiles.
''Thank you, Vine-san!'' The tricolor head calls him out surprising Edward. The man known as the Raging Blast Alchemist just makes a small smirk before running off towards the palace. Welkin watches him leave shocked that that was a friend of his father, the Darcsen Alchemist.
''So what's the plan Yugi?'' Jonouchi asks sticking his head from the wall but ducks back evading an incoming energy shot.
Yugi smirks getting an idea as his right hand is suddenly covered in the energy of Yin-Yang Dragon.
''I'll try this.'' The tricolor head begins to declare as he moves his right hand and quickly places it over the ground. ''SUMMONING TECHNIQUE!''
An explosion of smoke covers around his hand and starts swirling with sparks flying out. Yugi and the others watch closely as something is moving within the smoke. Once the smoke clears up, Welkin and Squad 7 drop their mouths eyeing what they can describe as impossible.
Appearing from the smoke is a large, human-size dragon with yellow, blue lightning pattern scales and yellowish dragon eyes. It wears thin dark blue rags that resemble a jacket and a dark blue bandana with yellow lightning stripes over the top of the head sticking out its horns. The dragon's wings had a zig-zag pattern on the ends and sharp ended horn on the side of each wing. It also has zig-zag tail with sharp ends.
''Woah… now this is a really badass dragon!'' Jonouchi proclaims amazement with a big grin. The dragon hears that and begins to shake shyly. Everyone notices that as very non-dragon like nature.
''Um is he okay?'' Danny asks never seeing a shy dragon before, no less one that looks pretty badass.
Edy notices the rosy cheeks on the dragon. She giggles telling Yugi. ''He seems shy but happy about the comment.''
The tricolor head blushes as he would have done the act same way too. He walks up the dragon and speaks nicely to him. ''Um excuse me.''
The dragon turns and eyes the boy with the strange star-headed head. Yugi notices how the dragon just looks down at his feet than his eyes, confirming he's not much of a talker. Boy was he like that before.
Coughing, he introduces himself to the dragon while with a friendly smile on his face. ''I'm Yugi, the one who summoned you. Who are you?''
The dragon looks up at the human and blushes, timid to answer him, but he could feel a rather warm connection from him. He struggles to say it but ultimately did looking up at his purple eyes. ''… I'm… um… Fulgurix.''
Mew Plum smiles reminded of how Yugi used to act. Yugi also smiles to hear that as he raises his hand and says still smiling while blushing. ''Nice to meet you Fulgurix-kun.''
The dragon, Fulgurix, looks at his hand and still blushes raising his opposite claw and nervously shakes it. Yugi giggles never shaking a hand well claw this big before.
''L-Likewise. I supposed… um… you need me to f-fight those um things, y-yes?'' Fulgurix asks while still staggering his words. Yugi nods firmly as he responds kindly. ''I would most appreciate it. I'll understand if you can't.''
''…''Fulgurix didn't say a word looking around and looks up seeing the hundreds or machines causing chaos. He looks back at Yugi and nods. Yugi forms a smile happy to hear that. Ed watches this wondering what the heck will this dragon do against these numbers of enemies that don't good down by one hit like before.
Fulgurix breathes heavily before flapping his wings and suddenly vanishes almost like lightning. Yugi startles as he then hears a growl and looks. He watches with a surprise expression as Fulgurix is fighting the robots with lightning fast speed, swinging his sharp claws and tail around like blades. The robots try to keep up but not even their detection system couldn't keep up with them getting swipe and tossed around. They tried to fire randomly but Fulgurix moved so fast that his attacks were even lightning fast speed too. Yugi watches not able to keep up but able to notice the work and it's amazing.
However Fulgurix's lightning speed claw swipes did nothing so he had another idea. He focuses as sparks of electricity start coursing throughout his body.
''Dragon Art…'' Fulgurix mutters out slowly as sparks of yellow electricity pass throughout his body. He widens his eyes and then focuses harder as a barrier of electricity starts forming around him. The robots immediately take fire but it was too late.
''VOLTIC MAELSTORM!'' Fulgurix roars as the barrier expands and explodes into a destructive, electrical pulse wave that hits through the entire city. Yugi and the others feel the electricity though it didn't shock them. The robots, however, were all fried inside with smoke burning out of them. They all began to fall one by one, dropping into pieces instantly. The only robot survived within the city was Metal Sonic that felt the shock-wave but was unaffected by his superior technology.
Jonouchi drops his jaw not believing what just happened or did Squad 7, the remaining Gallian soldiers or the Imperials who began panicking almost like they wet themselves.
''W-What just-'' Ed begins utter really impressed. Danny, also awe, answers amazed. ''The dragon shocked all the robots in one shot like an EMP attack.''
''A-Awesome.'' Largo mutters with Rosie nodding in agreement. Isara also smiles amaze by the somewhat light-show. Sonic just smirks really hoping after this that maybe he can race that dragon and see how fast he really is.
''He is really awesome woof.'' Mew Plum agrees with a small smirk on her face. Yugi nods watching Fulgurix fly back down somewhat worn out, breathing heavily. He runs up to him and congrats him still smiling. ''That was awesome Fulgurix-kun!''
Fulgurix didn't answer back still breathing exhausted and his face was really red. Yugi notices this asking him concerning. ''Um are you okay?''
''T-tired. I end up… like this when um I use too m-much power.'' Fulgurix explains breathing and shyly. Yugi frowns imagining how much he used up for something pretty amazing. The dragon notices his face and becomes worry that he's upset about this and tries to apologize, scared to be a failure. ''S-sorry… that I d-d-disappointed you!''
Yugi startles by this but slowly smiles again and replies petting his horns. ''Nonsense. What you did was too amazing, Fulgurix-kun!''
This left the dragon in shock, almost like he's about to burst into tears… though he does sob. He quickly grabs Yugi by the arms and questions him almost excitedly. ''Y-YOU R-REALLY THINK I WAS A-A-AMAZING?!''
Yugi, startled by his reaction, nods honestly. Fulgurix widens his eyes really taken back. He blushes releasing his claws off of Yugi and bows most happy though staggering in his words. ''T-thank you Y-Yugi-san. You're um the f-first to a-ach-acknowledge me like this.''
The tricolor head giggles by the comment but then startles by exactly what he meant as the first. He then questions the dragon. ''The first? You were summoned before? By my father?''
Fulgurix gulps shaking his head as he remembers the first human who had summoned him and how he said he expected more from a lightning dragon.
''N-No, the o-other m-man who c-can s-s-summon dragons.'' Fulgurix explains still staggering reminded how the man had mock him for his shy, frightened nature for a dragon.
Yugi stares almost stun to be hearing this correctly. Remembering what Jiraiya explained about the summoning of dragons, only a Dragon Knight should be able to do that.
''Another person who summon dragons? But I should be the only one being the Dragon Knight, right?'' The tricolor head questions mentally on such an idea. Could there be another Dragon Knight? But he's the only one, right?
''I-I have to go and r-recharge. P-P-please summon again. I-I will um get b-better!'' Fulgurix says still shyly wanting to rest and later train to become a better summon for the young man who thanked him.
Leaving his thoughts back for now, Yugi eyes him and nods smiling and thanking him again. ''Thank you again, Fulgurix-kun.''
Fulgurix nods nervously yet happy as he surrounded by sudden smoke and vanishes. Yugi smiles happy he got to summon him as Jonouchi walks up to him, patting his back.
''He reminded me of the old you, Yugi.'' The dirty colored blond-headed states remembering how shy and nervous Yugi used to be. The tricolor head sweat drops admitting that he's not wrong there.
''No doubt about it! That dragon will become the current you for sure.'' Jonouchi then says with a thumb up, very confident that shy, badass dragon will truly be a badass one day.
Yugi nods smiling agreeing with him. Jonouchi grins back.
''Another dragon user…'' Yugi asks himself again, wondering who was the other that summoned Fulgurix? There couldn't be another, right? His thoughts were interrupted as the remaining Imperial soldier resume firing at the group but Ed transmutes another wall along with Al.
''Hey, we still enemies to fight!'' Mew Plum tells her little brother as she charges at the enemy soldiers. Yugi snaps out and nods as he'll worry about this other dragon user later after they deal with Maximilian and Metal Sonic.
Welkin sighs that the robots were over with but now the rest of the Imperial Empire is left. Hopefully they can settle things for good and then-
''Hey commander, Yugi's girlfriend is calling you!'' Rosie suddenly calls him out getting a communication from a friendly transceiver. Welkin blinks as did Yugi hearing that.
''Wait Ichigo-kun is calling?'' Yugi asks very puzzle and then tries to sense her aura. He can feel everyone there… but then he realizes in shock that one aura is starting to die out and it was Alicia.
''Damn! What the hell is going on over there?'' The young Dragon Knight curses out mentally, worry for his friends fighting Selvaria and beginning to regret not fighting her instead.
''Get him Nya! This is important!'' Mew Ichigo yells at the other side of the communicator using her other hand to hold tightly on her Strawberry Bell, pushing herself to healing Alicia. Amazingly she managed to close the wound somehow but it didn't change that Alicia isn't awake and her heart beat is still slowing down. She can't give up yet, not even for a moment.
Judai continues his fight against Selvaria with Neos Knight still having her use her shield. Annoy by the swings of this monster's sword, Selvaria's eyes glow as her fiery aura explodes and pushes Neos Knight back.
''Nuisance!'' Selvaria shouts dashing at the hero monster and thrusts her lance right through Neos and his shield. She smirks as fires her blue flames through him, destroying Neos Knight and the flames continue towards Judai.
Smirking, Judai draws a card and summons Dandylion. The lion-like plant takes the blast, burned away but gets replaced with its Fluff Tokens.
''Is that the best you got?'' Judai calls her out still smirking as he summons Necro Gardna and Elemental HERO Clayman. Gritting her teeth more annoy, Selvaria shouts shooting out more blue flames. ''Don't push your luck!''
Her flames burn through all of his monsters easily but Judai still remains unscratched and smirking as he summons Neo-Spacian Flare Scarab, Aqua Dolphin and Elemental HERO Woodsman. Becoming more frustrated by his cockiness, Selvaria shouts shooting out more flames. ''I will not lose to a mere human!''
Mew Ichigo watches panicking as she finally got Welkin on the other side and asks of him nervously. ''Welkin-kun, please we need you to say something to Alicia!''
"Say something? What happened to Alicia?'' Welkin's voice questions through the device. Grunting as she's still not sure how this will save Alicia, Ichigo still trusted on Judai telling him determine. "Tell her how you feel about her! Just express how you really feel for her Nya!''
''Burn away!'' Selvaria shouts angrily unleashing her flames through all of Judai's monsters but he manages to evade her leaping away. He smirks almost mocking her which enrages Selvaria more.
''HURRY NYA!'' Mew Ichigo shouts even louder. Welkin hesitates on the other side, not sure how to express how he feels for her.
''I-I don't know what to-'' Welkin begins to say afraid to express how he truly feels for Alicia but before he could finish his doubtful words, Yugi speaks up encouraging him proudly. ''Believe in what you two have Welkin-kun. Show her how much she means to you!''
Welkin startles eyeing him. Yugi nods smiling. Mew Plum also smiles advising him too speaking from the heart. ''Alicia-kun has no biological family but she does have you, Squad 7, all of us being her family! To her, we mean the whole world, her whole existence. And to you, she is more than family.''
Welkin is silent, taken back that they're right. But can he-
''Onii-san.'' Welkin blinks turning and eyes Isara, smiling at him, as if telling him to do it than regret it. Smiling a bit, Welkin nods determine to tell Alicia how he feels for her.
Selvaria charges at Judai thrusting her lance to pierce him. Judai pulls out a card from his Graveyard Slot as Necro Gardna's spirit appears and intercepts the lance, blocking it with his shield arms. Selvaria glares madder cutting through it as Judai evades her again.
''Just vanish!'' She shouts firing another blast of blue flames. Judai tries drawing his card but the flames instantly consume him. Mew Ichigo watches that in terror screaming. ''Judai-kun!''
Selvaria pants having almost lost it however she sees a bright light pushing back her flames, revealing Judai alive and well, his arms still crossed to protect himself smiling as Winged Kuriboh is in front of him having taken the shot.
''Thanks for the saved, Winged Kuriboh.'' Judai thanks his small partner for the big save. If he didn't draw him, he would be a goner.
''Kuri!'' Winged Kuriboh cries happily glowing before vanishing away.
Sighing of relief, Mew Ichigo talks through the transceiver. ''Welkin-kun, say something Nya! Alicia-chan needs you.''
Welkin thinks and having remembered all the moments he had with Alicia, he couldn't help himself but smile how much she made him happier.
''Alicia…'' Welkin begins to speak now following his heart. ''Ever since we met, I never felt happier in a long time. As we got to know each other, as we went through many battles and challenges, I became happier.''
Yugi watches smiling as did Mew Plum, Isara and everyone in Squad 7 pretty much aware how much their commander has a thing for Alicia.
''Alicia… I don't know that I can accept us parting ways after this war is over… or the fact of seeing you with someone else.'' Welkin continues saying truly not sure that he can accept a life without her, a future without her… that's why he must say this and be a man that is best for her.
Smiling, Welkin finally says those words not afraid. ''I don't care what we are in the military rank or what we are as humans… I love you, Alicia! And that will never change, ever.''
Stirring by his words, Mew Ichigo looks down in awe as Alicia's body begins to move but also a light blue aura starts surrounding her. As if hearing his voice echo into her normal beating heart, a burning sensation courses through Alicia as she starts to open her mouth.
''W-Welkin.'' Uttering his name that he heard, Alicia's body suddenly erupts in massive blue flames to Mew Ichigo's shock forcing her to move away fast but not before the communicator is melted.
''Alicia? Alicia?!'' Welkin yells from his communicator but all he hears on the other side is static. He squeezes tightly on the transceiver, hoping Alicia is okay. He then feels a hand on his shoulder and turns to see it was Yugi and smiling.
''She's fine now Welkin-kun. No worries.'' Yugi informs him still smiling. Welkin blinks confused but just nods, trusting on Yugi's word.
The tricolor head nods feeling Alicia's aura, burning even hotter than before. He knows without a doubt what Judai or Ichigo did but it seems Selvaria has met her match.
Is Yugi sure about what he felt? Has Alicia awakened as- find out after this!
Commercial Break:
Ed: I am NOT A MOUSE! Let me be clear with that first!
Judai: Whatever you say. I'm more awe by Alicia-chan right now than your Napoleon ego.
Kurosaki and Naruto, both standing next to the other back-to-back, manage to put down almost half of the robots they were fighting but they were pretty weakened. Naruto chuckles weaken as the Kyuubi's shroud vanishes out of his body while Kurosaki is forced to remove his Hollow Mask before the time limit shatters it. The two had to fight even in their exhausted state but before they did anything they see a bright blue light burn over them. They startle looking as it was blue flames but not Selvaria as she was standing on the other side.
"W-what's going on, ya know?'' Naruto questions pretty dumbfounded. Kurosaki felt the same muttering out too. ''I'll like to know too.''
Judai pants smiling as he drops on one knee, glad the call worked. Mew Ichigo stares speechless as the flames slowly calm down, revealing the figure of their friend.
Now standing tall, Alicia's body is still engulfed in blue flames as her hair has turned pure white. She opens her eyes, empty but glowing red. The wound that was through her stomach and back has been completely regenerated and heal as if it never happened.
Selvaria stares at her speechless, almost trembling that she's become like her, a Valkyria.
''A-Alicia-chan?'' Mew Ichigo mutters out really surprised that she's also a Valkyria too. Judai chuckles really relief and ironic that they had to use Faldio's method, sort of. But he is pretty damn impressed by the aura she's generating.
''Hehe, that's pretty cool Alicia-chan.'' Judai praises her greatly yet weakly. Almost hearing his voice, Alicia awakes as her once empty red eyes give life fully conscious. Looking around rather surprise remembering how she took that flame attack through her body, she looks to her side to see the E-HERO duelist on one knee and grinning weakly with some burn marks.
''J-Judai?'' Alicia utters out almost terrify to see him like this. She tries reaching him with her right hand but in that moment she notices the lance and shield both her hands were holding.
''W-what am I holding?'' She questions shocked by what's even happening. She then notices the fiery blue aura around her and the glow she's presenting. It was overwhelming as she could feel such power within her, burning through her veins and soul.
''Why am I-'' She tries questioning actually sounding scared but Mew Ichigo quickly stops her and explains as best as she put it together. ''Don't freak out but you're a Valkyria, I think Nya.''
''… Say what?'' Alicia awkwardly asks sounding like Danny. She tries to put up a strong face but the mere fact that she's a Valkyria is making her even more stagger.
''Yea, but can we explain that later maybe?'' Judai asks of her pointing with his finger towards a certain Azure Witch. Realizing that they're still fighting Selvaria, Alicia shakes her head from whatever doubts she has right now and gazes at her with a determine face.
''You're right.'' She replies as her aura grows slightly, tightening the grip on her lance and shield.
Selvaria breathes still stunned by this, trying her best to calm down, as she says to Alicia. ''So… you're really-''
Alicia eyes to her side to see Naruto and Kurosaki still fighting the robots and not doing well. Turning back, Alicia interrupts Selvaria with a small smile. ''One moment, Selvaria.''
Selvaria glares by what she meant. Alicia turns and then dashes taking a long leap to the Azure Witch's surprise. Alicia moved fast reaching Naruto and Kurosaki as she swings her lance in a wide arc and slashes through at least two robots in half.
Naruto drops his jaw shock while Kurosaki is surprised. The other robots respond locking their weapons and fire except their attacks missed Alicia who had leap up faster than them. Spinning in midair, Alicia comes charging down with her lance and pierces through two more of the robots. Sparks fly out as the robots become disabled. The last two robots try firing their beams at her but Alicia without turning forward swings her shield at their beams and intercepts and negate their laser beams instantly.
Tossing away the robots she pierced through like trash, Alicia charges so fast she slashes one robot down and then spins so quickly and flawless thrusting her lance through the last one across the chest. The robots twitches before breaking apart damaged.
Naruto once more drops his jaw speechless with Kurosaki just as amazed.
''A-awesome Nya! Alicia-chan can use all the same powers too!'' Mew Ichigo utters out praising Alicia's amazing strength now.
Judai is actually more astounded that worked. Thinking about it, Faldio wasn't wrong that Ragnite influences the strength of a Valkyria and the robots seemed to be made out of the thing, probably not a good idea when facing a Valkyria.
Turning around far from being exhausted, Alicia looks up smiling proudly thanking her friends. ''Judai, everyone, thank you. Please, leave the rest to me.''
Judai just gives her the thumb up smiling. Naruto grins while Kurosaki just nods. Mew Ichigo, however, stares at he as if she can't let her fight alone even with her powers.
Gritting her teeth slightly, Selvaria regains her composure calling out at the so-called Valkyria. ''Just because you are a Valkyria doesn't change anything!''
Alicia eyes her as Selvaria unleashes her blue aura amplified by the Chaos Emerald. Regardless of the boost, Alicia looks at her unwavering. This only enrages Selvaria adding just as madder. ''I still wield the loyalty and vow to my prince- my king! That surpasses anything you-''
The Azure Witch is suddenly cut off by her own words as Alicia's body erupt a blue fiery aura, pushing back her own. Frowning calmly while thinking of all the people she's met to change her life, to make her life better, Alicia looks up at Selvaria and begins saying. ''… I have friends now. They're important to me than anything else.''
Judai smirks wanting to see this Alicia letting out her true feelings for those around her. Just seeing her glow, both body and soul, Mew Ichigo can't help herself but smile as her body starts glowing a dark pink aura.
''I can't afford losing any of them, including you too. That's why I'll settle this fast!'' Alicia promises not going to lose to Selvaria but not end her life either. Selvaria glares standing her ground pointing her lance forward, daring the fool to fight her.
Before Alicia charges at Selvaria she's suddenly grabbed by the shoulder. Alicia turns surprise to see it's the pink hair Mew Mew now standing next to her.
''Ichigo?'' Alicia questions assuming the cat girl is tired from healing her.
Smiling, Mew Ichigo isn't sure why but her body is now overflowing with her energy restored completely unaware that her eyes flash a cat-like dark pink glow. Eyeing her friend now alive and determine to fight, Ichigo can't afford seeing her do this alone.
''Alicia-chan, let's fight together Nya!'' The cat girl suggests to the awakened Valkyria with a small grin. Alicia eyes her concern about that but she couldn't help but agree maybe having a friend helping her would show Selvaria what their friendship is capable of. Nodding, Alicia agrees accepting her help. ''Okay!''
Grinning again to hear that Mew Ichigo nods standing beside her. Not going to underestimate Selvaria again, the cat girl reaches to her Mew Pendant and chants holding it tightly. ''Mew Mew Strawberry: Evolution!''
Her pendant glows brightly consuming the cat girl. Alicia watches and widens her eyes as the light dies up and Mew Ichigo emerges completely changed.
Ichigo's hair has grown longer and slightly curlier yet smoother, stop just before her waist. Her back hair is tied in two twintails with pinkish red ribbons. She gains slightly longer front hair with some from her back rests over her shoulders stopping almost over her slightly grown chest.
Her outfit dramatically changes as she still wears a short leotard-like dress except the pink color is slightly darker as the skirt is less puffy. The outfit still has matching yet thinner arm garters and leg garter on her right thigh, along with a thinner choker around her neck with her new Mew Pendant dangling from it. The pink-red lace lining is still present across her cleavage but her garters however have attached white, flower petal pattern filly along between the top and bottom instead. Her gloves were still pink-red but slightly darker as it still reaches to her wrists as well as has a golden heart-shaped emblem around the wrists, attached to thin pink ribbons. Her boots change into slightly darker pink-red colored with the black laces being replaced with a pink-red line color that reaches to her knees as instead of going all the way up, are split and open up a v-shaped on the front and becoming low heels. She also wears light pink stockings slightly above the knees as well as a golden ring on her left leg.
Her cat ears and longer cat tail still have their black fur colors though now they have dark brown spots on them. Her eyes stare determine almost cat-like glowing pink bright, smirking with fang-like tooth showing.
''A second form?'' Alicia mutters really surprised by Ichigo's new form. Mew Ichigo smiles as she starts chanting her catchphrase staring down at Selvaria while doing her cat pose. "For the Earth's future! For everyone's lovely futures! I'll be of service and punish you Nya!''
Alicia watches that really taken back. She gulps trying to say awkwardly. "W-what she said?''
''Stop assuming you can beat me!'' Selvaria shouts firing a burst of blue blast extremely towards the two. Mew Ichigo leaps away smirking with Alicia leaping away too. Selvaria glares pointing up at the sky and fires more of her blue flames. Mew Ichigo, smirking, summons her Strawberry Rose Bell to form her pink barrier, blocking her flames easily than before.
Alicia blushes and then, almost following this power coursing through her body, lifts up her lance and unleashes a burst of blue flames, blocking Selvaria's too. The Azure Witch is surprised as was Alicia blinking unease.
''H-how did I know I can do that?'' She questions puzzle how the heck did she knew how to do that. She lands on her feet easily as Mew Ichigo lands beside her and says giggling. ''Just follow your instincts Nya!''
Alicia blinks by that. Kurosaki hears that and agrees yelling at her. ''What Momomiya said! Follow your instincts!''
Naruto and Judai both nod grinning. Alicia blushes thinking about it and nods going to try it.
Selvaria glares charging at the two again but Mew Ichigo evades the lance while Alicia clashes her lance with her own lance. The two Valkyrias glare at the other as they stare to strike the other down with their lances almost like experts. Mew Ichigo watches almost startle how well Alicia is holding her ground.
Thinking on the term instinct, Alicia focuses on it and starts attacking more on instinct even pushing her shield right across Selvaria. The Azure Witch gasps angrily trying to thrust her lance but Alicia moves to quick to the left evading it easily. Alicia smirks thrusting her lance back which forces Selvaria to block it and sadly the force of her thrust pushes back the Azure Witch.
''Amazing! Alicia-chan is moving way faster than before!'' Naruto calls out astonish. Kurosaki just nods also impressed she's taking the instinct idea well.
Selvaria pants angrily as she tries using the power of the Chaos Emerald but she tries she hears a voice. ''RIBBON CHIDORI!''
Selvaria panics and instantly evades the lightning fast attack of Mew Ichigo's attack but the cat girl smirks as her real aim was hitting her arm. Selvaria gasps out in pain feeling her left shoulder hit her and actually accidentally causes her to toss away the Chaos Emerald. Mew Ichigo sees it in the air and leaps with almost unseen speed towards it, grabbing it instantly smiling.
Shocked by the cat girl's sudden speed, Selvaria curses out angrily. ''D-damn it!''
She raises her lance and fires her blue flames but the cat girl vanishes and reappears on the ground on all fours evading the flames above her. Selvaria yells swinging downward while her flames still firing but the cat girl slides to the side and dodges them easily.
''I refuse to lose like this!'' Selvaria shouts trying to fire but then Alicia intercepts her thrusting her lance. Selvaria is forced to dodge and quickly blocks an incoming kick from the cat girl. Mew Ichigo smirks as she uses the shield like a platform and leaps up while spinning. Selvaria couldn't focus on her as she has to clash lance against Alicia.
''SECRET TECHNIQUE!'' Mew Ichigo shouts raising her right foot while descending. She watches Alicia seeing her drop and quickly bashes her shield over Selvaria's lance, pushing her backwards towards her. Seeing this with a smirk Mew Ichigo shouts as she swings downward with her right boot. ''CAT DROP KICK!''
Not forgetting about her, Selvaria raising her shield fast but the very force of the kick cracks her shield badly. Panicking by this, Selvaria thrusts her lance upward but Mew Ichigo leaps away sticking out her tongue.
Alicia watches really dumbfound by the cat girl's techniques, even making up those crazy names. Thinking about, she wonders if she should do the same like maybe it makes the attacks stronger by naming them.
''Maybe I should name my attack…'' She questions to herself eyeing her lance and nods, taking aim at Selvaria.
''BLUE… FLAME?'' Alicia utters out and almost like activating something her lance glows from her hand and fires its destructive blue flame blast at Selvaria. Seeing it just barely, the Azure Witch raises her shield to block the flames but they actually manage to push her back hard almost falling backwards.
''W-WOAH! That actually worked?'' Alicia proclaims really surprise that did it. Mew Ichigo giggles getting an idea. She calls out to her Valkyria friend. ''Nice! Alicia-chan, follow my lead Nya!''
Alicia blushes and nods. The two dash at Selvaria who tries to slash or stab them but they evade her attacks which were slower due to her energy running low. Alicia smirks thrusting her lance but Selvaria backs away and moves to the left as Alicia ignites a blast of blue flames.
Seeing this, Alicia shouts rising up her shield. ''Ichigo!''
Mew Ichigo smirks running and jumps onto the shield to leap up even high. Somersaulting herself once in mid-air, Mew Ichigo shouts holding forward her heart-shaped weapon. ''RIBBON STRAWBERRY SURPRISE!''
Selvaria panics as the cat girl fires her gigantic pink magical blast of light at her. The Azure Witch raises her aura as did her shield blocking the attack at full blast but it actually cracks her shield a bit more.
Mew Ichigo lands while her attack still goes on shouting excitedly. ''Now Nya!''
Alicia nods as the two charges at a guard Selvaria. She sees them coming finally block the other attack and points with her lance firing a burst of blue flames.
''RIBBON CHIDORI…'' Mew Ichigo begins shouting as she thrusts her left hand and grabs on the handle of Alicia's lance. In that moment the pink ribbon-like sparks of her technique courses through the lance but not electrifying Alicia to her amazement. Smirking, Alicia follows as she shouts proudly. ''FLAME LANCER!''
Tightening the grip on the same handle, Alicia's flames burn coursing through her lance and mix with Ichigo's electrical attack, the lance erupt in a blue flame with pink lightning wrapping around it. The lance with both girls holding it cuts through Selvaria's blue flames to her horror.
Selvaria, really scared, is force to thrust her lance at their attack. The two girls eye each other and nods shouting as they thrusts and clashes the lance against Selvaria's. The Azure Witch dreads as the force of their attack is actually pushing her attack. She grits her teeth using more power but her attack is still being pushed as Ichigo's lightning and Alicia's flames together were becoming too much for her.
Selvaria dreads trying to push forward but Alicia and Mew Ichigo actually manage to knock her lance out of her hands. Forced to do something in horror, Selvaria raises her shield fast and blocks the lightning-flame lance but it was too much for her. She panics as the shield starts cracking harder.
"I-Impossible!'' Selvaria yells as both Alicia and Mew Ichigo shout and tears through the shield, cracking it through and the fire-lightning from the lance suddenly unleashes a blast. The attack hits Selvaria screaming, throwing her back out of her feet off the ground. She lands and rolls hard gasping out defeated.
Alicia pants heavily as her blue aura vanishes and her eyes and hair revert back to normal.
''We did it Nya!'' Mew Ichigo declares joyfully raising a high five at Alicia.
Alicia stares at it and sighs wanting to it but not right now. Breathing, she looks at Selvaria and says slowly walking forward towards her. ''It's over, Selvaria.''
Selvaria, panting and injury, reaches and grabs on her slightly cracked lance again as she pulls herself up.
''No… it's not.'' She mutters out holding tightly on her lance. Suddenly her blue aura resurfaces except it expands and grows rapidly while taking the form of more like flames. Mew Ichigo hisses worrying with Alicia startling feeling the intense flames much hotter than before… but more. She can feel it expanding so largely within Selvaria's soul.
''Final Flame… this will end all of us.'' Selvaria begins to declare gazing at the four firmly as if she will meet their end. Kurosaki glares not going to let that happen but Judai stops him, feeling something unease that isn't Selvaria.
''Stop it Selvaria! Don't-'' Alicia tries stopping her but she couldn't reach her as Selvaria's flames burn hotter and spread even larger. Through those flames though, Alicia startles seeing Selvaria shredding a tear from her eyes.
''Forgive me, King- Prince Maximilian.'' Selvaria mutters to herself having failed the only person she loves. Before she could unleash all of her flames, the ground unexpectedly starts shaking violently. Everyone becomes alarm by this while Judai oddly looks around feeling someone else here but he can't be sure who.
''What?!'' Selvaria shouts as the ground starts cracking.
''The ground is breaking apart!'' Kurosaki shouts pulling Naruto and Judai back fast. Alicia watches as the ground below Selvaria starts breaking faster causing her to shout warning her. ''Selvaria!''
It was too late as the ground shatters below Selvaria and opens a large sinkhole opens up underneath her. The Azure Witch only had a moment to realize this as she falls into the ground but quickly grabs on the edge of the hole. Alicia panics as the flames have now vanished and it was her chance to reach her, running at her after throwing away her lance and shield.
''Don't Alicia-chan!'' Mew Ichigo warns her seeing the ground still breaking apart. She rushes right after Alicia as the ground now starts falling apart. Alicia, with an expression of terror, watches as the ground Selvaria was holding is now breaking apart. Trying to leap towards her with Selvaria watching in shock, Alicia watches to her own horror as the ground finally shatters. She couldn't reach her as the ground now below her cracks open too. Alicia panics but then she's suddenly grabbed and pulls back by Mew Ichigo but it didn't change as Selvaria now falls into the hole.
''SELVARIA!'' Alicia screams from the bottom of her lungs as her friend is swallowed by the darkness of the sinkhole. Mew Ichigo frowns not able to do anything as she manages to reach the others and they all look at the massive hole that the Azure Witch was standing on.
After being release, Alicia looks at the hole. Tears dripping on her eyes, Alicia drops on her knees not wanting this; not wanting to win like this.
''I-I couldn't… save her… I…'' Alicia tries uttering as her voice cracks, crying how she failed in saving the friend that gave her hope. She cries slamming her fists on the ground.
Everyone eyes her frowning to see her broken like this. Mew Ichigo, revert back to her normal Mew form, kneels down next to Alicia and hugs her.
''It's okay Nya.'' The cat girl tells her comforting her friend. Alicia, still sobbing, eyes her and sees the tears of the cat girl whose stills smiling.
''It's okay.'' Mew Ichigo consoles her kindly, not wanting her to lose hope as she still has so many people in her life now. Alicia still sobs but slowly calms down. She looks down at the hole, feeling like she failed her friend in a way.
''I'm sorry, Selvaria.'' Alicia tells herself shredding one last tear. Sighing deeply, Alicia wipes away her tears and pulls herself up.
''Alicia-chan?'' Mew Ichigo questions a little taken back by this. Starting to walk away almost wobbly, Alicia picks up her lance and shield and declares with a look of determination gazing towards the palace. ''Come on. We have a war to finish.''
The others were amaze by this showing as Alicia starts walking but almost trips by her own exhausted state. She pants a bit still not use to transforming. Mew Ichigo smiles getting up and walks up grabbing her shield and then her hand.
''Let me help out Nya.'' The cat girl says trying to sound energetic. Alicia eyes her and couldn't help but smile accepting her help. Judai chuckles walking up and holds on the shield. Naruto nods helping out Alicia too with Kurosaki sighing with a small smirk watching over them like the lookout.
The group walks together towards Randgriz until Alicia stops and turns around, looking one last time at the hole that her friend fell in. Turning around knowing the past can wait, Alicia marches forward as her final tear drops out of her eyes; never going to forget her friend.
Having felt the auras in that side of the battlefield; Yugi sighs at the loss of Selvaria. Even though she was fighting on the enemy side, he could feel her sadness and her connection to Alicia… but also her loyalty for Maximilian. The young Dragon Knight frowns upset how manipulating that man is. He won't let him get away with this any longer.
Welkin eyes the tricolor head and asks him worrying for Alicia after their connection went dead. ''Yugi, is Alicia and the others alright?''
The tricolor head eyes him and smiles relieving his worries. ''Yup! Alicia-kun and everyone else are okay now.''
Forming a smile of relief, Welkin sighs placing a hand on his chest. He says blessed for his joy. ''Thank goodness.''
Yugi giggles blushing as he would be like that for Ichigo too.
Feeling relaxed that Alicia is safe Welkin can now focus back to their mission staring at the palace still protected by Imperial Soldiers and enemy tanks, as well as that gigantic machine too.
''Everyone, we need to reach the palace. Otherwise the princess-'' Welkin tries telling everyone but he gets cut from explosions happening near them. This panics Jonouchi still piggybacking Kurosaki's real body.
''What now, reinforcement?'' Danny questions really hoping it's not more enemy soldiers. Just then a wall explodes and something shoots up in the sky. Ed looks up and panics backing away as the something starts coming down fast and his shiny bald head and muscular body.
''IN THE NAME PASSED DOWN BY THE ARMSTRONG FAMILY THROUGH EACH GENERATION!'' Starting to shout, Louis Armstrong crashes down slamming his alchemy sharp knuckle gloves onto the ground and transmutes the ground where the enemy was standing to shake violently and the very earth shoots right under them. The soldiers scream launch into the sky as did the tanks.
''Strong human souls shall always prevail!'' Armstrong declares in a heroic, manly pose as what grew from the ground were statues of himself, posing with his muscles also revealed.
Yugi and Jonouchi sweat drops heavily and stunned. Ed made a face of annoyance with Alphonse sweat drops friendly like. Mew Plum blushes really red covering her eyes with her dog tail wagging. Sonic just blinks awkwardly not following. Everyone in Squad 7 tried not looking directly at the Major.
''… Sure?'' Danny says doing his best to ignore what he saw and move passed it. Everyone then hears screams as the Imperial Soldiers were running away from the flames snapped by Musang's gloved hand.
''Colonel!'' Ed calls him out, both he's here and upset it took him this long to finally show up. Mustang walks up to the group with a small smirk that they survive this long.
''Sorry for the late arrival, Fullmetal. Good job on you and the others in getting rid of the rust buckets. I had to burn a few trying to get here.'' Mustang comments to the group not having the best of fun burning those robots he was engaged just earlier until they were all fried by that electrical pulse, and then of course the surprise too.
''That and we were intercepted.'' Mustang then explains pointing his right thumb behind him. Yugi and the others blink looking behind him and charging from behind are new soldiers but not Imperials due to their blue colored uniforms.
''Artemis soldiers?'' Welkin questions having recognized their uniforms. Ed nods confirming him. ''Yea, those are State Military soldiers alright.''
Yugi is surprised they actually arrived as he hears more screams. He turns and widens his eyes as the enemies were running away as their last tank suddenly gets slashed apart by one man.
His appears is of an older man near sixty with an incredible physique for his age. He has a full head of black hair, with a few greying and a thick black mustache, and a blue tint to his right eye as he is seen to wear an eye patch over his left. He is also wearing the same Artemis blue, full length military issue coat and slacks with black dress shoes though it has a grey sash around it, carrying three extra swords on top of the other two he's holding in each hand.
Jonouchi drops his jaw also seeing the guy and demands pretty astounded. ''And who is that badass?!''
''Fuhrer?'' Ed and Al both utter out surprise to see him here. Danny makes a face and utters out really shocked. ''Excuse me.''
Edward gives him a look as he had already told them this before and he yells explaining it again. ''I EXPLAINED IT ALREADY! That's the leader of the State Military of all Artemis, King Bradley.''
Yugi blinks remembering that, just didn't expect the leader would also be a fighter. Sonic whistles pretty amazed too. Jonouchi and Danny though both give each other a look, both already assuming is King his real name or a title. For if it's his real name it's a really weird name and oddly fitting for a guy who runs a military.
King Bradley sighs with a small smile on his face as he approaches the group.
''Sorry for the late arrival Colonel Mustang, Major Armstrong, Elrics.'' Bradley speaks up very apologetic to his men. Ed blushes awkwardly as did Al by his words.
''No worries sir.'' Mustang says with his arms crossed. Bradley hums nodding as he eyes the rest of the group, already spotting the infamous Squad 7 of Gallia but also spots the boy with the star head and the sword around his hand. Walking up towards him with Yugi eyeing him, he greets the young man in a cheerful kind attitude. ''And you must be the infamous Dragon Knight, Yugi Mutou correct?''
Yugi just nods surprised by the nice words he put it… though something is still strange about him. Just reading his aura didn't exactly tell him he was evil but also uneasy.
Bradley stares at him with Yugi blushing replying. ''Y-yea, that's me. Edward-kun told me about you a bit, but I'm surprise you're well pretty amazing, both swordsmanship and your words.''
Ed panics a bit that Yugi said that in such a way but King Bradley just laughs very humorist by it. He responds looking rather intrigued by the boy. ''You're an interesting young man. It's a pleasure we got to meet even under this uncomfortable situation. Well best not keep you waiting long. You have an evil dictator to beat, no?''
Yugi blinks as he nods replying again. ''Y-yes, I do.''
Bradley nods humming as he walks up towards the enemy forces. The Imperial Soldiers panic taking firing at him but Bradley easily swipes though their bullet with both his swords, cutting and deflecting them away. The soldiers drop their jaws with Yugi even more surprised.
''We'll keep the small fried here. Go on and do your responsibility.'' King Bradley tells him as he raises his right handed sword forward and his soldiers take fire at the enemy who's taking cover. Yugi eyes him and just nods still amazed. He didn't expect this guy to be that fast with his swords too.
''Well time to see that king guy and Metal!'' Sonic declares almost taking charge but mostly eager to battle the robot version of himself. Yugi sweat drops probably amazed the blue hedgehog is always excited even under bad situations like these.
Ed gives Al a look as if telling him without words to stay behind and watch over their backs. Alphonse nods firms understanding.
''Yugi, let's do it.'' Edward tells the tricolor head with Sonic, Danny and Jonouchi backing him up. Yugi just smiles nodding.
''Yugi-san, do what you must and put an end to this war.'' Welkin asks of the tricolor head, not wanting this continue to bring this much misery to Gallia or take away none of their futures. Yugi stares at Welkin and makes a small smirk vowing it to him. ''Welkin-kun, I promise this will end. I swear it.''
Welkin just smiles believing his word and tells him and the others. ''Good luck, everyone.''
Yugi nods as he, Sonic, Ed, Danny and Jonouchi run off towards the palace to confront the man causing all this destruction and put an end to it.
Can Yugi defeat the cold-hearted king and end this war once and for all?
To be continued…
(ENDING 1: Life by Yui from Bleach)
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…
Finally reaching the castle, Yugi and his groups encounter both the cold king and the cold killing machine trying to harm this land and killed millions for their selfish reasons. Enrage with a burning desire to defeat him, Yugi challenges Maximilian who now wields the armor of the very gods. Can the Dragon Knight defeat this king's ideals with his own?
Alicia startles by herself: Is this how you all feel when using your powers?
Naruto grins: Welcome to the club!
Kurosaki sweat drops: We have a club?
Mew Ichigo giggles: We do but right now we need to worry about helping the others, especially Yugi-kun
Judai: Knowing Yugi-san, he's going to fight that king guy but he shouldn't be a problem.
Alicia smiles: Yugi will win. Maximilian, whatever Selvaria thought of him is nothing compared to who Yugi is, he'll win for sure! *everyone stares at her* W-what?
Mew Ichigo smirks: Go on, you earned it Nya.
Alicia blushes and nods determined: Next time in Yu-Gi-Oh! Dragon Knight Reborn: The Power that Comes from Others!
Mew Ichigo giggles: Please remember to read, enjoy and review Nya. See you all next time Nya! Yugi-kun, beat his butt Nya!
Author's Note: Fulgurix's name comes from the Latin word Fulgur which translate to Lightning. With this I have assemble the 5 Elemental Dragons Yugi can summon along with Pendragon.
I saw both the game version cutscene and the Anime version of how Alicia unlock her Valkyria powers… this, my version, was my favorite actually. I'm just saying, this was done better if you know the story.
Also hehe… I gave Alicia attack moves. Yea, sure? Why not!
And so we bid farewell to- PFF, f**k no. Like Selvaria is dead… wait until the end of this arc to find out if she is dead or not. *wink*wink*
And my apology for the late-ish update.
