Volume 4: Episode 16: The Power that Comes from Others!
In the previous episode of DKR:
Snapping with the thought that Alicia might have died, a furious Judai unleashes the power of the Gentle Darkness and Neos to combat Selvaria giving Mew Ichigo the chance to heal Alicia of her wounds, able to feel her pulse but weakening. Remembering what Faldio said about Valkyrias to unleash their powers, Judai told Ichigo to use the transceiver to contact Welkin somehow while he held back Selvaria though not lasting for much due to her superior flames.
Meanwhile Yugi and the others were struggling against the thousands of robots to deal with. Yugi and Ed tried to use Blast Alchemy not working properly until the very alchemy is used on the enemy soldiers, easily disposing them. Standing above a tower, the Raging Blast Alchemist waved at the group telling them to handle the enemy while he goes to save the princess. Smiling, Yugi nodded now using Summoning Technique to appear a new dragon; the stoic yet timid lightning wielder Fulgurix. With his powerful lightning attack, Fulgurix destroyed all of Metal Sonic's robots the castle except the evil Sonic robot himself though it weakened Fulgurix. Happy for his help, Yugi called him back though considered when the dragon said he liked him more than the other human who summoned him.
Finally communicating to Welkin, Judai and Ichigo tried to convince him to admit his feelings for Alicia before it's too late for while Judai held back Selvaria's powerful flames. Hesitating not sure what to say, Yugi encouraged him also speaking to the unconscious Alicia that even though she had no family doesn't mean she can't make one and she has with everyone in Squad 7 and them too. Ichigo agreed happily with Judai chuckling about to get blasted but not dead thanks to Winged Kuriboh. At this point Welkin finally spoke and admitted what he feels for Alicia, not caring what they were or are but his love for her.
Tearing dropping from her eyes, Alicia awakens and erupts in blueish flames. Standing up, her hair changes as did her eyes with both weapons on both hands; Alicia revived now as a Valkyria. Thanking everyone with a sane focus and determined, Alicia prepared to fight Selvaria with Mew Ichigo beside her in her Mew Evolution form. The two fought together overwhelming Selvaria even with her Chaos Emerald and the overwhelming determination of the two. Defeated and taking an injury, failing her prince, her king; Selvaria decided to finish with the Final Flame but as she did the ground below them cracked and opened up. Alicia tried to save her but Selvaria fell, having lost herself in failing her king. Crying for losing her friend again, Alicia brushed off her tears and asked Ichigo and the others to help her end Maximilian once and for all.
The Imperials began to coward in fear as the Artemis army arrived with King Bradley leading the charge. He had brief words to the Dragon Knight but wished him luck to fight this dictator. Yugi blush a bit taken back but he felt something unease about this man. Regardless, he nodded and with his friends they headed out to confront Maximilian.
Can our Dragon Knight defeat the ruthless Imperial king and how will the others deal with a much stronger Metal Sonic?
And now the conclusion... last left off in the previous episode:
Breathing almost exhausted, Alicia walks with Mew Ichigo, Judai, Naruto and Kurosaki towards Randgriz. They could see the destruction as they approach many destroyed robots. Judai whistles pretty sure this is Yugi's handiwork.
''How are you feeling Alicia-chan?'' Mew Ichigo asks the brown pigtail who eyes her weakly but smiling. She responds still rather shaken. ''B-better. I just feel really exhausted and well different.''
''Well no dud after you turned into a Valkyria!'' Naruto yells out still really flabbergast. Kurosaki has to agree with him eyeing Alicia and unlike that Azure Witch, her appearance was still the same and not having the white hair or red eyes.
''Though you haven't changed.'' He points out pretty glad as he prefers this look more. Alicia giggles feeling the same about it, though it didn't change why she was a Valkyria.
''I-I still don't get that-'' Alicia tries saying until she widens her eyes and realizes something surprising; she can see Kurosaki. She gasps turning to see the Substitute Shinigami blinking awkwardly at first but then panics as he was still in his Shinigami Bankai state.
''OH! I can see you now!'' Alicia states amazed that she can see him now in this other form or whatever he called it before. Kurosaki sweat drops not at all thrill about it.
''G-great.'' The spiky orange-headed Ichigo mutters hoping that wasn't the case as he'll likely be forced to tell Rukia by her personally.
Judai nods smiling as he explains to Alicia from what Faldio told him. ''Faldio came to the conclusion Alicia-chan was a Valkyria but she needed to experience death first so her flames can awakened. I said no and tried reaching you to give you the shield and lance if maybe we force awakened that power without death.''
Everyone, even Alicia, sweat drop that Judai's plan didn't exactly worked out.
''I just didn't expect Selvaria would shoot me down and Alicia-chan getting hit for me.'' Judai points out chuckling nervously. Alicia sighs with a small smile knowing he didn't mean it. She was more to blame for moving in like that.
''Sorry again. I just moved.'' She apologizes not meaning to do that but she couldn't let anything bad happen to Judai. The brown-orange headed duelist just smiles as he says. ''That shows how brave and caring you are, Alicia-chan.''
Alicia startles and immediately has bright red cheeks. She blushes as he's probably right about it. She bows thanking him. ''Thank you.''
Judai blushes nodding. Mew Ichigo giggles agreeing with Judai that Alicia is a kind and strong person.
Naruto nods almost not paying attention still remembering how badass Alicia was as a Valkyria. Kurosaki sees that look and sighs shaking his head.
Alicia smiles though she frowns as she has to avenge Selvaria and Maximilian is to blame for all of this.
''Right now I want to reach that palace and make that Maximilian pay.'' Alicia declares not going to let that tyrant of a man get away with this.
''I'm sure Yugi-kun will be doing that Nya.'' Mew Ichigo says trusting that her beloved, heroic Dragon Knight will defeat that Maximilian and end this for everyone.
Maximilian, sitting on his throne room, could hear the screams of his soldiers getting likely killed outside of the palace. He scoffs confirming his suspicious that the machine's robots were disabled permanently.
"It seems your robots were destroyed.'' The young king says not even sounding worry. He expected this especially since Team Dragon Knight appeared. Metal Sonic oddly nods agreeing with him as he states. ''This was to be expected… unlike the death of your Valkyria.''
Maximilian, for a moment, widens his eyes before they become calm again. He then questions the machine. ''Selvaria… is she dead then?''
Metal Sonic simply nods having seen the last thing one of his robots that attacked the group of Team Dragon Knight that battled Selvaria confirmed the Azure Witch's death before it shut down due to the heavy damage done by the recently Valkyria awakened Alicia.
''Probable chance is death. The last surviving robot of mines confirmed her death but I shall check on her remains personally.'' Metal Sonic confirms it. He eyes the face of the young king and sees no signs of sadness or grief about it. His eyes oddly glow as he asks him firmly. ''Does this upset you, king?''
There was silence but ultimately Maximilian answers him rather cruel and uncaring. ''… So what if it doesn't? She was my queen piece but none the least just a piece.''
Metal Sonic just stares at him, glaring rather mad. He might not care about humans, not one, but his advanced AI told him how he valuable she was. With her power and skills, it was like losing a part of a perfect plan. For once, the killer machine found petty for a human who is treated badly by an even more uncaring human. Ironic; is the word Metal Sonic computed to himself.
Even Jaeger finds this insulting after everything Selvaria did for him.
''Regardless, I still have the princess.'' Maximilian points out turning towards the captured Princess Cordelia guarded by Jaeger, who was giving Maximilian a look, how he wasn't once sad for the death of Selvaria.
''Maximilian, why must you continue this? You surely must assume there's no way you can win.'' Princess Cordelia tries talking him out of this madness before more bloodshed spills. Maximilian, however, sees no reason opposing her words with his own. ''As I said to you Princess Cordelia, once you become my bride, I will surely win.''
Sighing that his obsession is that great, Cordelia knew once she accepts being his bride; she will die and the land of Gallia will be his plaything. She won't let that happen, ever… even if she must reveal her secret.
''Very well… if you wish to marry me, you will have to accept this.'' Cordelia seemingly accepts as she raises her right hand over her head and grabs tightly on her white, long hair. Maximilian raises an eyebrow by what she's doing until Cordelia pulls off her hair. The king and Jaeger both widen their eyes with Metal Sonic watching silently and uncaring.
Tossing away the fake hair on her, Cordelia reveals her dark blue Darcsen hair.
Maximilian made a stunning expression, horrifying by this discovering.
''Well I'll be.'' Jaeger utters pretty speechless as were the few soldiers with him, taken back that all this time the Princess of Gallia is not of Valkyrur descendant s but of Darcsen.
''The Randgriz have kept this secret for many years but we were not born as descendants of the Valkyrur but as Darcsen!'' Cordelia announces proudly, ruining what Maximilian wanted. Jaeger whistles pretty bold of her to do that but impressive.
''Kinda makes sense now huh, Maximilian.'' He says to his king but Maximilian found this unamusing. In fact, it was insulting as his eyes glare angrily and madder so much so that he slaps Cordelia across the face, pushing her onto the ground
''You scum! YOU DARE-'' Maximilian snaps angrily at Cordelia about to slap her again but a robotic hand grabs his wrist. He turns to see it was Metal Sonic whose chuckling mechanically and gazing on the enrage king showing his true colors.
''I had warn you, didn't I my king? Your temper is your downfall.'' The robotic hedgehog tells him coldly how easily he snaps. Once more Maximilian becomes angry as he yells at the robot. ''SILENCE MACHINE!''
Metal Sonic just looks at him now silent not bothering to reason with a feeble minded fool. Maximilian scoffs pulling out a gun and points it at the fake Valkyria descendant on the ground.
''Wait Maximilian!'' Jaeger tries stopping him from doing something but Maximilian gives him a firm, crazy-like look at him, stopping the last of his generals on his tracks. The king looks down at the fallen princess and proclaims angrily. ''Killing you now is all I need to accept, scum!''
Cordelia just stares at him with a brave face, scared but not afraid of him. Maximilian grits his teeth preparing to fire but is stopped by a voice calling down at him. ''Wow, you're just like daddy's boy alright.''
This further enrages the young king demanding angrily. ''Who dares to insult me?!''
Someone leaps down from above them and lands down fast. In that instant both soldiers guarding drop dead by the blades of the Raging Blast Alchemist, standing in between of the psycho and the friend he won't lose. Cordelia widens her eyes truly surprise and happy as tears drip from her eyes.
''S-Sir Vine!'' Cordelia utters out, smiling out of relief and joy to see him here of all places. Jaeger startles by the name, remembering it well.
''You… The Darcsen Alchemist.'' Maximilian declares coldly also remembering this pest. Metal Sonic just watches silently with his arms crossed.
Vine glares though smirks at the prince now turned king as he says pointing his right blade at him. ''Glad you remembered me. I haven't forgotten you and what you did to her.''
Maximilian scoffs closing his eyes for a moment to see the image of this man fighting him though it was Selvaria who fought for him and the face she made rather sad for the man she was fighting again. Opening his eyes again, he states coldly. ''If you're referring to Selvaria, she is no longer among the living.''
Vine glares now frowning as his blade glow red, vowing intense. ''Nor will you.''
Maximilian just scoffs turning his back and walks on his throne chair. Vine, not leaving his eyes off of him, is somewhat confused. Maximilian sits on his throne and then he presses on a switch on the right arm chair of his throne, sounds happen as the throne attaches itself on Maximilian who slowly stands up.
Vine watches in surprise as the throne chair has become some kind of golden armor with shield and lance, almost similar to a Valkyria though he can see weaknesses like the expose head.
''Well, fancy armor you got. You forgot a helmet, idiot.'' Vine points out already looking forward to cut off his head. Maximilian shakes his head at his assumption proclaiming. ''Unnecessary. This is the proof of my resolve, of my blood as an Artificial Valkyria.''
Vine glares not wasting time charging at top speed, swinging his blade at his neck. Sadly the armor unleashes the same blue fiery aura like a Valkyria and somehow stops Vine's blade from chopping off Maximilian's neck. The Raging Blast grits his teeth swinging his other blade at the same force but this time Maximilian repels with his shield and the sword shatters instantly. Vine knows better backing away swinging his last sword and fires a red wave of Blast Alchemy. Maximilian scoffs raising his lance and fires a burst of blue flames to Vine's shock, burning and canceling his attack. Maximilian fires again but Vine ducks away backing away more.
''Now you shall burn into nothing, Darcsen, and then this land will be mine.'' Maximilian declares not going to allow any more Darcsen to exist. Vine prepares himself knowing this won't be an easy fight but before he could they hear a voice shouting. ''Think again!''
Having heard them, Metal Sonic vanishes, moving so fast that he intercepts three surprise ghost rays, a spear and a Dragon Slice Attack, throwing them away and swings a kick as he blocks Sonic's sudden kick right in front of him. The real Sonic grins not so surprised his robot counterpart pull that off.
''Not bad Metal! You never cease to amaze me.'' Sonic praises his evil robot counterpart. Metal Sonic only glares as he answers coldly. ''Sonic, my illogical copy.''
Jaeger blinks turning and not surprise Yugi and his small group arriving next to Vine and the princess. He smirks softly backing away as things will be messy.
''Vine-san, sorry it took us a while to get here.'' Yugi tells Vine joining right beside him glaring at Maximilian. Vine smirks very much glad he and his friends arrived. If they haven't, he would have a harder fight.
''No worries kid. I bet the mouse slow you down right?'' He asks the tricolor head who blushes by the comment and knows Ed won't be happy. The young alchemist wasn't who yells ranting again. ''WHY ARE YOU KEEP CALLING ME THAT?!''
Danny and Jonouchi eye each other also pretty much curious why he keeps calling Ed that other than his size.
Shaking his head as he wants to tease the kid more, Vine knew better as he tells him firmly like a superior should. ''Focus Fullmetal, you have two dangerous foes to deal with.''
Jonouchi oddly agrees as he watches Sonic moving away from Metal Sonic ripping off his face. He then spots Maximilian and boy does he have a few insulting things to say about that armor suit.
''Geez, pretty boy is wearing armor now.'' Jonouchi mutters pretty sure the guy is scared of Yugi that he needs protection… though he lacks the helmet.
Maximilian ignores the rest except the boy who challenged him earlier. He speaks directly to him. ''So you've come, Dragon Knight.''
''Sounds like you didn't expect me to arrive, Maximilian-kun.'' Yugi responds with a small smirk on his face. Maximilian tries not to show more hate than he has just now by that ''kun'' part simply replying. ''Indeed I have not, boy.''
Danny eyes Vine and most likely what he assumed was Princess Cordelia though her hair wasn't the same as the photo. He didn't pay much attention on that detail.
''If that's the princess then run off with her. We'll give you cover.'' The ghost boy tells the older alchemist not wanting her near the crossfire. Vine smiles agreeing with this kid too.
''Kinda have to then.'' Vine says turning and immediately picking up Princess Cordelia bridal style. He turns back to Yugi who eyes him back and smiles nodding that he can take care of this. Vine smirks nodding back and rushes away with the princess in his arms.
Cordelia looks over Vine's shoulder to see the tricolor head turn back to face the enemy with a determined, brave face. She blushes a bit asking the Raging Blast. ''Sir Vine, was that him?''
Vine nods with a small smirk answering her. ''Yea. We have nothing to worry about now. Let's get you where our allies are at.''
Cordelia nods softly knowing of the legend and having seen a Dragon Knight before that they are the ones who can end any crisis.
Maximilian watches the Darcsens leave but he didn't care for them at the moment. He speaks coldly to the tricolor head. ''I will deal with that false princess after I deal with you, child.''
Yugi glares mad now feeling this man's aura and feels nothing but detest, hate and arrogance for those below him. He hasn't felt an aura like this before; makes those like Kish and Light more human than him. He wouldn't count Deep Blue; he gave up having a soul long ago.
''Is that all you care about? Don't you care about the lives you've endangered? The lives you took? Or Selvaria-kun's life?!'' The young Dragon Knight demands wanting to hope this man has a soul.
Metal Sonic looks back at Maximilian as the king replies uncaring and unemotional. ''Why should I? Selvaria may have been my queen's piece and a powerful Valkyria, but she failed and now she's dead. She was nothing more than a tool, a means to enforce my power upon all.''
Ed grits his teeth really hating this guy as much as Jonouchi, Danny and even Sonic. Yugi, however, glares furious that his eyes flash between his purple eyes and the red dragon eyes of Yin-Yang Dragon. Even the two-headed dragon growls angrily at this man. Atem also finds this man a fiend worse than Zorc.
Recalling what she said about her king and how she would fight for his stake even if she has to die, Yugi begins telling him gripping on his voice. ''She had a life, she cared about you. She would do anything for you and you thought of her as nothing but a weapon?''
It is a somewhat true that Selvaria was someone as loyal for his cause but he knew a day would come that she would be gone and so he accepted that her existence meant nothing to him. Maximilian looks down at this pacifist of a fool and answers him coldly. ''Precisely. Her love for me made it easier to control her.''
Yugi glares more that his purple eyes now glow brighter.
''Besides, she offered me a better Valkyria now.'' Maximilian then says with a sinister smirk, looking forward to capture Alicia and use her powers for his cause.
Snapping furious but tamed, Yugi speaks up his eyes now full Yin-Yang Dragon eyes. ''I won't let you harm Alicia-san or anyone else, ever!''
Metal Sonic chuckles how emotional humans are. Yugi gazes at the robot who says wagging his right handed index finger almost mimicking Sonic but eviler. ''You will have to deal with me too, Dragon Knight.''
Yugi has no interest in fighting him yet as he orders the others trusting on them. ''Sonic-kun, Danny-kun, Edward-kun; deal with Metal Sonic-kun. I'm dealing with Maximilian-kun.''
Ed eyes Danny and Sonic worrying who also never seen Yugi like this before not since Deep Blue. Jonouchi also agrees but he tells the others knowing that this is important for his best friend. ''Trust me too guys, Yugi got this.''
Danny would protest about this idea but if even Jonouchi thinks Yugi should handle that king then it's for the best to trust him. Ed felt the same with Sonic just nodding getting why Yugi is this fed up.
''Not objecting.'' Ed states with Danny eyeing Yugi and warning him. ''Careful.''
Yugi nods with a small smile. Then Sonic gives Yugi a thumb up who does the same back smirking. The blue hedgehog grins looking at Metal Sonic and calls him out charging forward. "Hey Metal!''
Metal Sonic charges back at Sonic as both intercept their incoming kicks instantly.
''Sonic, I shall finish you off first.'' Metal Sonic declares his eyes glowing red. Sonic just grins backing away and Spin Dashes at him. Metal grabs him in that form, the ground grinding by the rapid spinning of Sonic's Spin Dash. Sonic didn't care as he bounces in that form, knocking Metal Sonic in the air. Metal however floats in midair only to receive a surprise punch by Danny, pushing him into the wall.
''You mind if we butt in trash bin?!'' Ed shouts clapping his hands and slams them, transmuting multiple extending spike pillars at the robot and hits him through multiple walls. The three charge towards the holes Ed made.
Yugi smiles hoping they handle themselves as he tells his best friend. "Jonouchi-kun, stand back.''
Jonouchi nods moving away still carrying Kurosaki's real body as he tells him, confident in him. ''You don't have to tell me twice. Kick his ass, Yugi.''
The young Dragon Knight just smirks at his remark raising the Dragon Sword. Maximilian, unafraid, watches as the boy declares. ''Level Up!''
The Dragon Sword shines as Yugi twirls and in that moment changes into the large half-size broadsword.
''Dragon Slayer!'' Yugi shouts as he charges forward with it. Maximilian isn't the type to play the battle of charges as he instead points with his lance and fires a destructive burst of blue flames. Yugi instantly dodges around it with Dragon Speed Burst and reappears behind his back. Yugi then shouts as he swings his sword forward at Maximilian's back. ''DRAGONAUN TENSHO!''
Maximilian barely even tried to move as a fiery aura barrier from his armor generates around him, intercepting and blocking the dragon head energy slash. Yugi startles as the barrier expands as did the flames. He's forced to back away fast. Maximilian twirls calmly and points with his lance firing another blast of blue flames. Yugi dodges out of the way though he notices the flames were still coming at him and incinerating through the ground. He moves away fast with Dragon Speed Burst, appearing away from him. Yugi charges and swings the Dragon Slayer now at Maximilian's side but the fiery aura barrier reforms and blocks his attack, almost burning the tricolor head if he didn't move back again.
''Someone like you with power is unfit to understand how true strength is used!'' Maximilian proclaims finding this fight pathetic and not worst his time. He points with his lance and fires another torrent of blue flames at him. Yugi, this time, slashes at the flames with the Dragon Slayer and shouts calling him out. ''And you do?!''
No respond as Yugi slowly notices that his sword couldn't push through them away and notices the blade is melting. Panicking, he leaps over the flames and distances himself. Maximilian just shakes his head truly pathetic by his opponent.
''Power is of control, of suppressing other's will and actions to what you view them. Power is absolute control over all and I am only fitting for such power.'' Maximilian announces proudly learning only this one true lesson from his father. However, unlike him, he shall transcend even him adding almost godly. ''I am destined to rule the lives of all for I am my power itself!''
Yugi lands on his feet and glares really angry by his sense of right that even Kaiba had something to prove when he spoke about power. This man was insane as the tricolor yells at him. ''Your twisted sense of power makes me disorientate! Power isn't meant to control others. We choose in what we believe in, in what we want! We make our own choices, not others controlling ours!''
Maximilian glares enrage by the boy's words. Yugi forms a small smirk as he'll show him what-
''You speak rubbish coming from the fact all you've done is listen to others.'' Yugi startles hearing a voice echoing in his head, recognizing it as he utters in his mind. ''Sir Dragonaun?''
Indeed it was the knight of dragons who says mentally to Yugi as if he was right behind him. ''If what you speak of people choosing their own fates to be true, then you have no need to follow the wishes of your dead parents and pursuit your nonsense path as a Dragon Knight.''
Yugi freezes up to hear that, not realizing what he said could be used on him. He wanted to protest to those words but… that would be a lie to himself. As if reading his mind, Sir Dragonaun then says firmly. ''Am I wrong? As I said, abandon such things or your own words are mere lies.''
The young Dragon Knight just stands there doubting what he is. Maximilian raises an eyebrow by how the boy isn't moving but he wasn't going to let this chance pass him charging at him. Jonouchi panics seeing Yugi isn't even paying attention to the fight anymore.
''You're wide open, foolish child!'' Maximilian shouts thrusting his lance at him. Yugi snaps out reacting to that and manages to block the lance with the Dragon Slayer but it was too late as it still rams itself on his right shoulder, piercing it badly.
''AW!'' Yugi screams in pain as he's thrusted back with blood spilling out of his gap of a wound.
''Yugi!'' Jonouchi yells frightened for his friend. Yugi gasps managing to not fall back but grits his teeth eying the wound on him. Maximillian lifts up his lance and fires a blast of blue flames. The tricolor head hesitates just trying to run from it and barely manages getting burned a bit in the progress.
''Why is he not doing anything?'' Jaeger questions actually worrying for the kid.
Maximilian scoffs at this humiliating showcase announcing. ''Naive child! As I said, true power controls the lives of all! That is what it takes to change this world!''
He fires another torrent of blue flames as Yugi rolls away just barely. Maximilian uses this chance to charge and this time bashes Yugi back hard with his shield, causing the tricolor head to scream as he's pushed backwards onto the ground.
''To prevent the pointless of humanity's struggles and I am the one who will change it all!'' Maximilian proclaims almost insanely, grinning as he will be the true victor and one to control all.
Yugi grunts struggling to get back up only to hear Sir Dragonaun's voice speak once more. ''That is what a true Dragon Knight is. One that uses power to change the world. You are no-''
The knight suddenly stops as an arm appears over his front. He turns to see it was Atem, speaking up firm and serious. ''I beg to differ.''
''Stay out of this, Pharaoh Atem. You-'' Sir Dragonaun begins threatening him angrily for interrupting but Atem heard enough as his Millennium Puzzle glows and repels Sir Dragonaun back. He then turns to face his doubtful partner and reminds him serious. ''Partner, have you forgotten!''
Yugi blinks turning around to face Atem by what he's referring about. Atem stares at him reminding him. ''Have you forgotten why I am still here?''
In that moment Yugi widens his eyes and remembers all he did to help Atem. Even though he helped saved his grandfather by Pegasus, Yugi would have still helped him because he wanted to help recover his memories.
Atem smiles noticing he remembered as he says. ''You never made it your choice to do what you've done, you made it such. You decided to do it because you have always been like that; to help anyone you care for without asking anything in return.''
The Pharaoh turns slightly giving a furious glare at Sir Dragonaun as he encourages Yugi. ''Do not let the words of someone who thinks a Dragon Knight is about power to make you doubt yourself! For that is not who you are! You are the Dragon Knight, the strongest and kindness there is!''
Sir Dragonaun glares at the Pharaoh for getting in his way. Smirking a bit by his words, Yugi finds himself an idiot to believe such words from a being who never supported him.
''You're right.'' Yugi finally speaks looking at Atem with a hopeful face. He then looks at Sir Dragonaun and gives his answer with a determine face. ''Sorry Sir Dragonaun but that just isn't me. I like helping others, regardless if it is my choice or not. That's who I am!''
Yugi resumes focus in his fight against Maximilian, having a few words to tell the god complex king.
Atem smirks relieve to see his partner back to his normal self. He turns and his smirk becomes a frown glaring at Sir Dragonaun and his dirty trick.
''I don't what your game is but discouraging my partner the way you did won't break him and I'll be here to make sure he never falls again.'' The Pharaoh calls out at the knight for his cruel trick and won't let that happen again. Sir Dragonaun just glares back at the pharaoh before vanishing into nothing.
Jonouchi panics as Maximilian now charges once more at Yugi still halfway on the ground.
''Now perish child!'' Maximilian shouts thrusting his lance at full force at the fallen Dragon Knight and strikes… through where he was. This left Maximilian stunned as Yugi is now standing behind him, fully stand and sighing how reckless he was before.
''You said earlier the power is absolute and you are the only one fit to wield such a thing.'' Yugi begins saying very calmly. Maximilian twirls fast as he swings his lance in a wide arc to slash the boy but instead his lance is blocked by Yugi's Dragon Slayer. The king staggers by this and soon notices the red aura surrounding Yugi.
''And I'll say this: Power isn't a word to define a man who trusts no one and has no one!'' Yugi declares pushing Maximilian back, distancing each other. Maximilian holds his ground as he notices in terror that the wound he previously inflicted on Yugi has been completely healed by Yin-Yang Dragon's energy.
Yugi turns with his red dragon eyes gazing at him however not with anger but calmness almost disappointed in him.
''Your power makes you view others as worthless and puts fear in their hearts to make them follow you. Someone who uses power like that doesn't understand what real power is.'' Yugi begins stating, basically mocking the strength the Imperial Empire's king has. He then recalls the strength Squad 7 has for each other, the determination each Darcsen had to keep living and all of his friends doing their best to keep fighting.
''And that's the trust, the courage, the hopes, the dreams and the bonds of yourself, your allies and your friends!'' Yugi declares smiling a bit before frowning, adding towards Maximilian who has none of those traits. ''You viewed Gallians as non-threats and weaklings but the truth is everyone is weak, even you and I, but adding on their weaknesses on top of each other changes it; becoming a strength that can't be beaten.''
Jonouchi just smiles remembering certain words Yug once said that the weak will overcome the odds and become stronger.
Clinching tightly on the chain of the Millennium Puzzle being the symbol of his bonds, Yugi declares proudly. ''Your power is nothing compare to the friendship everyone else wields! That Maximilian-kun is true strength! The strength of others!''
Jaeger widens his eyes, remembering his comrades and home he failed to protect from the Empire and the day he looked up to Maximilian as a means to regain it all back… and he was wrong. He picked the
Sighing, Jaeger heard enough knowing well he made a mistake. Accepting it, he starts to walk away but Maximilian notices this with a dark look in his eyes.
''Where are you going, Jaeger?'' Ignoring Yugi, Maximilian questions his last general with a stern tone. Jaeger sighs hoping he could have left without getting noticed but then it would be cowardly not revealing his reasons. Turning to face the young king, he answers with a small smile though sad. ''Can't help it. The kid reminded me of a younger me. I thought when I lost to you that your power was the key to change this world. I was wrong.''
Maximilian just glares that even Jaeger is listening to this nonsense from the child.
''You never viewed anyone as a true ally not even Selvaria who loved you, Maximilian.'' Jaeger expresses having been silent to say what he has to say to the young king. He smirks thinking of his dead comrades and remembers how valuable they were to him.
''I owe my comrades for failing them and I'll make things right now. Sorry.'' Jaeger apologizes as he turns his back and walks away. Yugi oddly smiles able to tell without reading his aura that he meant every word. He hopes he can find his real self and be a better person. Maximilian, however, snaps angrily that this fool had the nerve to turn his back at him, much like how his father has ALWAYS done especially after his mother's death. No, not again.
''How dare you…'' Maximilian begins utter before going berserk and raises his lance at Jaeger. ''TURN YOUR BACK AT ME, JAEGER!''
Without a second thought, he unleashes a blast of blue flames towards Jaeger who just turns to see the horror of his likely death.
Yugi widens his eyes that he would do this as his red dragon eyes glow angrily, not going to accept this inhuman nature anymore.
What will Yugi do? Is it- Yea, it's time to end this.
Commercial Break:
Yugi: I won't let this go on anymore! This ends now Maximilian-kun!
Sonic: Metal, you just don't get what teamwork is and you're going to lose to it!
Jaeger watches as Maximilian ignites his lance and fires it flame blast at him. He didn't have time to dodge it as he just smirks, knowing he should die with at least a smile on his face. Unfortunately for him, he wasn't going to die like this as Yugi instantly appears in front of him with Yin-Yang Dash and slashes through the incoming flames with Dragonaun Sword, cutting them in half.
Maximilian gasps angrily as the Dragon Knight has once more stood in his way. He prepares to call out the boy and his nuisance but he couldn't, taken back by the calming glare of Yugi's face with his red dragon eyes glowing almost on fire.
"Unforgivable…'' Muttering softly, Yugi glares at Maximilian as he shouts furious. ''You are an unforgivable person, Maximilian-kun!''
He has had it with Maximilian and Metal Sonic. Looking back at the Dragon Slayer, he can feel an impulse, a roar echoing through his soul, almost calling him out to use its power. Nodding, Yugi is prepared not to hold anything back anymore. He'll use that power like it should and prevent any more pointless deaths.
Jaeger sweats as Yugi's body starts erupting red aura all over him.
''Back away, Jaeger-kun.'' Yugi asks kindly of the man not wanting to accidentally hurt him. Jaeger just nods not wanting to get in the kid's path.
Yugi glares at Maximilian who sweats to see this storm of energy the boy is building around him with his eyes glowing redder.
''Let's beat some sense to this freak!'' Yin Dragon roars smirking to beat this punk. Yang Dragon oddly agrees though more tamed stating. ''I couldn't help but agree brother.''
Smirking at the two-headed dragon, Atem also agrees proclaiming. ''Let's do it, partner.''
Yugi just nods smirking as he twirls the Dragon Slayer once before it slowly changes back to the original Dragon Sword. Startled by this, Jonouchi is completely aware what his best friend is about to do having been told of his trump card power.
''He's going to use it. Do it Yugi!'' Jonouchi yells encouraging Yugi to go all out. Atem and Yin-Yang Dragon smirk agreeing as they too support their partner yelling. ''Do it Yugi!/Do it Yugi!/Do it Yugi!''
Yugi smirks again as he focuses. He takes a moment to inhale and exhale before chanting while he slides his sword into his scabbard. ''Dragon of the Heavens: Roar across the boundaries of reality and fantasy, and grant me the blade that creates impossibilities!''
The Dragon Sword shines as Yugi shouts almost like a roar, pulling it out immediately. ''BURST LIMIT!''
Maximilian watches unimpressed, at first, until the sword glows and explodes in a massive tempest of a massive energy-like dragon. The creature wraps itself around Yugi and spins rapidly for about a few seconds before becoming a new weapon in the hands of the tricolor head and his changed.
Yugi is now wearing a long dark blue, wide collar neck coat with a long zig-zag ripped bottom coattail back as along the hemline has purple lining pattern following alongside the hemline too. The sleeves were up close to the wrists as she could see he's wearing thin armor-like gloves. He also wears a long pair of black jeans with an edge, ripped off sides on the bottom end with the same purple flame pattern added and a pair of thin black boots with sharp pointy ends. The gloves, however, were slightly upgraded now having the alchemy seals for Blast Alchemy.
He now also wields a long, yet thin wide-like white blade that resembles Buster Blader except it has black scaled on the back side of the blade that would resemble Buster Blader, the Dragon Destroyer Swordsman's but slightly smaller. The blade has a long white ribbon attached on its end as its golden guard resembles as crosses but as four-winged dragon wings with thin purple outline ends, two on each side.
Twirling the broadsword-like blade around, it starts generating a shockwave across the whole palace and even outside towards every single life force. Maximilian gasps at this strange sensation.
"The Power of Friendship, the Dragon Blade!'' Stopping his twirling, Yugi declares proudly as his eyes glow almost fiery. The Imperial King oddly shivers, terrify at this unknown presence the boy is now surrounded by.
''What is this?'' Maximilian utters actually taking a step back. Yugi sees that and replies taking a step forward. ''This, Maximilian-kun…''
Yugi vanishes and instantly appears right in front of him. Maximilian widens his eyes and quickly thrusts his lance at him only for Yugi to catch it barehanded. Maximilian startles horrify as he gasps kicked back by full force by Yugi's boot kicking him on the stomach. He still stands his ground but throws up in pain.
''Is real power. The power of my bonds.'' The young Dragon Knight proclaims confident not going to lose to someone like him.
Maximilian grits his teeth spitting out blood angrily at this mere child.
''Damn pest!'' He yells lifting up his lance and fires a burst of blue flames. Yugi didn't even bother dodging or moving away as he swings the Dragon Blade and cuts right through the blue flame blast. Maximilian watches this stunned that his flames were blown away by a mere swing.
''Impossible!'' Maximilian yells trying to fire another blast. It hits Yugi but the flames are all blown away as Yugi emerges, non-burned, as he charges at him. Maximilian panics actually showing fear as he raises his barrier and shield. Yugi didn't care as he swings his blade right at it and with one swipe tears through the fiery-like barrier and slashes through the shield with ease.
Maximilian gasps out, backing away, as the slash actually cuts a bit on his armor too. He utters out actually afraid right now. ''H-How? How can this be!''
He grits his teeth thrusting his lance at Yugi who vanishes. He panics turning to his left and there he was waving his hand at him. Maximilian snaps swinging his lance again and once more Yugi vanishing and reappears in front of him smirking friendly-like.
''N-no! I am wielding the power of the Valkyrias! How am I losing?!'' Maximilian demands furious as he tries punching Yugi with his left had only for his fist to be caught by Yugi's free hand. He panics as Yugi just pushes his arm back with so much force it broke, causing Maximilian to scream in such pain.
''Guess it's because that's not your power.'' Yugi answers honestly almost sounding clueless. This was the final straw for the king, not able to accept this humiliation any longer.
''You bastard!'' Maximilian tries shouting while thrusting his lance but he stops as the Dragon Knight has vanished again. He looks down to see Yugi right below him now in a sky upper-kick position.
''It's over.'' Yugi declares firmly and kicks Maximilian right into the air with great force that it cracks the front of his armor. The tricolor head then quickly repositions, tossing the Dragon Blade upward to the sky and passing Maximilian while spinning around vertically. Yugi then leaps, vanishing as he moves at top speed with Dragon Speed Burst before appearing over Maximilian. He raises his right hand, catching on his sword and swings downward as he shouts. ''Slash from the Brave Hero! DRAGONAUN AETHER!''
The Dragon Blade erupts in a dark blue flame-like aura as the blade slashes like a flash. He slashes right across Maximilian, landing instantly on one knee on the ground in a mere second. Sparks flash as Maximilian suddenly screams as his armor instantly breaks and shatters apart by multiple dark blue-like flames cutting through him. He soon drops on the ground face forward, grunting with his body both burned and bleeding slightly. The lance he wielded also broke apart too from the attack into pieces.
''KO!'' Jonouchi calls out grinning. Jaeger watches speechless, not believing Maximilian with that armor suit he based Selvaria's powers on to lose to something that's this much powerful.
''T-this… cannot… be.'' Maximilian utters out trying to lift himself up but struggles even in that. He has never been humiliated like this, ever.
Yugi lets out a sigh standing up and resting the Dragon Blade over his shoulder. He walks up to the injury Maximilian, glaring at him both angry and afraid of this being.
''You damn Dragon Knight… even now you still mock this land.'' Maximilian utters out angrily not believing the legend of this Dragon Knight to be so terrifying. He can confirm that he's not even human as he resumes. ''Like many years ago, your title crushed the Valkyrurs.''
The tricolor looks at him and just blinks really awkwardly.
''Huh?'' Yugi utters not following him. Assuming the boy is tricking him, Maximilian manages to get up but halfway through not able to feel his arms or legs so much.
''The Valkyrurs were not what you seemed they were. They were conquerors, putting the blame on the Darcsen scum and were going to conquer more lands… until one they call a Dragon Knight appeared and ruined everything.'' Maximilian begins revealing the truth about the Valkyrur to Yugi. The tricolor head just widens his eyes completely shock to learn this… and oddly makes sense. All this time, the Darcsen were treated as the villains but it were the Valkyrurs who were the real villains not to mention that another Dragon Knight opposed them too.
''To think a mere child with such a title could have beaten me.'' Maximilian says defeated and wounded by this loss. Yugi looks down at him, frowning as that is all he thinks about and he couldn't help but disagree with him.
''You still don't get it. You would have lost either way.'' Yugi speaks up startling the startled king. The tricolor head sighs as he expresses honestly. ''I feel pity for you, Maximilian-kun. You've searched for power that is not your own and still look down at everyone then truly being a better king.''
Maximilian just frowns mad that someone like this boy could never understand what it means to have power. Yugi just looks at him and could tell what he's thinking, stating even more disappointed. ''… I never had power before and if I ever had, I wouldn't have changed. If I would change, it's to protect my friends and people from those who would bring harm or end their futures.''
Yugi sighs again as he turns around and starts walking away. This greatly angers Maximilian as he calls him out with a stagger voice. ''W-where are you going? FIGHT ME!''
The young Dragon Knight stops as he responds without turning to face him, no longer acknowledging him. ''You're not worth anyone's time and I have my friends to help out. Sorry.''
Yugi proceeds to walk away towards Jonouchi which irritates Maximilian so much he manage to lift himself up and pulls out a gun from under his clothes. He points the weapon towards Yugi but the tricolor head hears it as did the trigger.
''YOU DARE TURN-'' Maximilian starts yelling, about to fire the weapon at the child who crushed his reality. Yugi, however, prepares to stop him with Yin-Yang Dash but before he did he hears another trigger which shocks him. He and Jonouchi turn towards Maximilian, gasping as he looks down at his chest to see blood stain on his chest, his own blood. He gasps again, feeling his back taking a bullet shot and turns weakly. He sees with his own eyes in shock that it was Jaeger who shot him.
''J-Jaeger… Y-YOU…'' Maximilian tries uttering out, reaching out towards the traitor only to fall on his own and collapses on the ground. His body starts bleeding out from his bullet wound, still breathing but not going to live long.
Jonouchi blinks awkwardly as he asks the cool guy. ''D-did you just shot your leader?''
Jaeger puts away his weapon, looking at the tricolor head and replies honestly. ''I owed the kid one.''
Yugi eyes him before looking back at Maximilian, stirring weakly doing his hardest to crawl away. He sighs stating. ''At least he'll live to pay for his crimes, but you don't have to Jaeger-kun. Go.''
''You're letting me go? Why?'' Jaeger, surprised by the boy, questions him. He's no saint. He became an enemy of Gallia and has does done many terrible acts.
Yugi hums thinking about his reasons and answers him with a small smile. ''Well, you're the only one not trying to kill me. And I know you fought for your comrades that you failed.''
Jaeger actually startles by this boy not knowing anything about him and yet he knows him better than himself. Yugi advises him kindly with a smile. ''You can change and be better, in memory of them.''
Jaeger just makes a face, doing his best to keep his eyes from showing his tears. He nods knowing now that he owes it to his fallen comrades and himself to be better.
''I will kid, I will.'' He promises to the young man and the second chance he gave him. Yugi just smiles happy to hear it.
Jaeger prepares to leave but before he did he remembers the other soldiers and an idea forms in his head.
''Oh!'' He speaks up turning and tells Yugi with a small smirk. ''Let me do you all one more favor.''
''Like what?'' Both Yugi and Jonouchi ask pretty puzzle. Jaeger did not answer he walks away humming, heading towards the communication room his former king setup.
The Imperial Soldiers still remaining were not holding their ground. Now with Artemis Soldiers with their Alchemists fighting them, they had no chance of winning. But as long as they have their king, then they must continue-
''Attention all Imperial Soldiers!'' Suddenly the entire city hears the broadcast, voiced by General Jaeger, speaking through the communicators. The soldiers all heard his voice and recognized it, probably expecting good news or a retreat or-
''I got bad news everyone: Maximilian has fallen.'' Jaeger's voice announces trying to sound sad about it. This brought utter silence to all Imperial Soldiers each making a face of horror. Coughing a bit through his end, Jaeger resumes stating. ''As such and being the only general still alive; I declare this war our defeat. Best surrender than die, right? Hey, maybe you'll be asked to go back to the Empire than being executed?''
All Imperial Soldiers still had a fun expression of horror.
''Anyway, that is all. Good luck everyone.'' Jaeger's voice finally says before cutting off communication and whistles to himself rushing off before he gets caught.
''…'' All the Imperial Soldiers had dropped their jaws in silence. They all look at each other not sure what to say at this point. They sigh dropping their weapons on the ground.
''W-we surrender.'' The soldiers all announce giving up on the battle and coming out from their cover with their hands up. Mustang sweat drops not seeing this ever but he'll take it as a win, ordering his men to arrest them.
Everyone in Squad 7 couldn't believe that actually worked with Welkin sighing of relief.
''Yugi-san did it.'' He says smiling as their long struggles have ended. Vine just smirks proclaiming. ''I had no doubts the kid would do it.''
Mew Plum nods though she can't buy the fact that Yugi killed someone.
''I'm pretty sure my little brother didn't kill Maximilian.'' The dog girl declares causing everyone to eye her. She blushes wagging her tail muttering still pretty sure about it. ''Just saying woof.''
The message was broadcast through all of Randgriz as Ed, Danny and Sonic heard it on their end while fighting Metal Sonic in the gardens of the palace. The killing machine just shakes his head not surprised he lost to the Dragon Knight.
''That pathetic prince turned king. A failure as I expected.'' Metal Sonic expresses unemotionally as he dodges from Sonic's Spin Dash and crosses his arms blocking Danny's punch and Ed's slash with his transmuted automail wrist blade.
''It's over Metal!'' Sonic tells him out smirking. Without an army or any more allies, he knows his evil robot counterpart has lost.
Metal Sonic backs away gazing at the blue hedgehog and protests hardly affected by this. ''Over? This was never about this land or the humans; only you and me.''
Sonic sighs shaking his head as he says not surprised. ''Why am I not surprised? Seriously Metal. Get a hobby or something.''
''My hobby is my programming and it's to end you, Sonic!'' Metal Sonic declares raising his right robotic hand and squeezes it tightly with his eyes glowing red. Sonic just grins always finding his metal counterpart a joy to fight.
''You forget we're still here, tin can!'' Danny shouts right above Metal Sonic and throws a massive ghost ray in the form of a giant sphere at him.
Metal Sonic watches the attack come at him and instead of moving away he crosses his arms in an x-shaped as a different robotic voice speaks through his body. ''BLACK SHIELD - - DEFENSIVE MATRIX.''
Metal Sonic forms and surrounds himself in a darkish indigo-colored octahedral energy field. The giant ghost ray orb hits on the surface of the force field and it couldn't break through it. Then the barrier vanishes around him.
''Just blow up why don't you!'' Ed shouts clapping his hands and slams them, transmuting multiple spikes at the robot. Metal Sonic just sees it coming as the same robotic voice speaks. ''BURST SHIELD - - JOINT MATRIX.''
In an instant, Metal Sonic generates a fiery orange energy field around himself. The spikes seemingly hit Metal but the force field actually melts and incinerates them before they could even touch him in mere seconds. The energy field soon vanishes right after with Metal glaring unopposed until he suddenly receives a kick across the face by Sonic.
''It's three against one Metal and those odds mean much!'' Sonic tells him off smirking. Metal Sonic's eyes glow almost angry as he tries to swipe the blue hedgehog but he dodges it easily while sticking out his tongue.
''V. MAXIMUM OVERDRIVE ATTACK.'' The robotic voice coming from Metal Sonic declares while he starts charging himself up with massive energy coming from his body. Ed watches not liking it as he transmutes a large wall and enforces it by becoming more steel. Metal Sonic is soon enveloped in a yellow, electrical-like energy sphere, before shooting himself forward at incredible speeds. Metal tears through the walls while still charging at the three. Sonic quickly dashes and grabs Ed moving away fast while Danny goes intangible. Metal Sonic continues coming at Sonic at max speed but Sonic just ran faster, causing Ed who he was dragging to almost pass out.
Metal Sonic then suddenly stops, sparks flying around him. Now vulnerable, Sonic tosses Ed away who yelps and dashes back at Metal, swinging a strong axe kick across his head. Metal Sonic staggers by the blow as he receives a massive punch by Danny by his back, amplified by ghost energy. The robot flies forward as he's suddenly stomped by a massive wall trap in the shape of Ed's head, transmuted by the very and dazed Fullmetal.
Metal Sonic emerges flying out just as Sonic appears over him, smirking, and performances a combination of Spin Dash and Homing Attack, grinding him with his spikes, followed by a downward strike with Bound Jump, slamming his entire body onto the robotic counterpart and crashes him into the ground like a meteor. Sonic jumps off the damaged and scratched Metal Sonic with his eyes turned off completely blacken.
Ed whistles at the damage done by the hedgehog's doing with Danny stating the win. ''Well that was-''
In that instantly Metal Sonic's eyes glow red and he envelops himself in massive chaotic energy. Danny sees this and face palms himself, regretting that he said anything.
Lifting himself up, Metal Sonic floats as the energy surrounding him starts fixing the damaged on his body and reshapes himself. The energy almost became a typhoon how it could push the others from touching him.
''Metal!'' Sonic calls him out, bracing himself with his left arm like a shield against this wind. Hearing his voice, Metal swipes with his right arm and blows away the typhoon-like energy, revealing his new form. He looked basically the same from his colors and appearance in a way but was completely different almost evolved. His head now has five long quills as opposed to his regular three, with white stripes and markings around his eyes, similar to that of Shadow's. The yellow color in his ears has been replaced with red and his nose is now black. He also possesses more pronounced body armor, with black and curved shoulder plates, larger gauntlets and leg armor with pointy knee caps that have white outlines, a plate covering his pelvis and elf-like shoes. He also sports a spiky belt with a black cape that protrudes out of the back of his waist.
''No. Now I am Neo Metal Sonic!'' The new evolved Metal Sonic declares raising his right, robotic sharp finger hand at him while his right eye glows even more than his other almost making him more menacing. Sonic just grins though sweats. Danny and Ed try to have a straight face but they were both taken back how different the evil robotic counterpart of their comrade was now.
Clinching tightly on his right hand, Neo Metal declares almost more threatening. ''I have gathered all of your data to evolve me, adapting past your abilities and surpassing my limits!''
Ed really couldn't help himself but not believe the nonsense he's speaking off as he calls him out. ''Prove it!''
Neo Metal Sonic looks at the alchemist with his head slightly tilted to the left, really creepy looking. His eyes then start glowing and he proceeds raising his right hand, firing a red version of Shadow's Chaos Spear at the three. Ed panics as Danny forms a ghost barrier and blocks the energy blast. The energy spear tries cutting through the barrier but Danny gives more power into the barrier, able to stop it though the barrier shatters soon after for how strong that attack was.
''Ed… Don't give this guy another reason to prove his power, okay?'' Danny tells the young alchemist breathing rather exhausted how much energy he had to put on the barrier. Edward gulps nodding.
Looking rather unimpressed for a robot, Neo Metal raises his left robotic claw hand and unleashes a burst of electricity right at them. Sonic quickly moves fast, grabbing Danny and Ed away evading the electrical attack that fries and actually tear apart the ground they were on before.
''Fantastic, he can shoot lightning too.'' Ed states not at all humorous about this psycho robot's immense power. Sonic isn't so convincing putting the two down and dashes with Sonic Boost right at Neo Metal who mimics his Sonic Boost. The two ram and clash at the other, creating a violent storm of electricity. The two push forward faster and harder with their own force field but it seem evenly until Neo Metal's eyes glow and he blitz through Sonic, tossing the blue hedgehog aside but manages to hold his ground panting a bit.
Turning not even slightly tired, Neo Metal finally speaks almost mocking them. ''I told you, all your attempts to stop me will not work.''
Sonic smirks oddly still panting but not bested as he proclaims pretty sure. ''Then we'll use teamwork just like how you lost before!''
Danny oddly smirks as did Ed clapping his hands. Immediately Fullmetal slams his hands and unleashes a wave of earth spikes while Danny fires a barrage of ice Ghost Stingers. Neo Metal Sonic just stands his ground as the spikes and stringers hit him but couldn't penetrate and all of them broke upon impact.
Neo Metal swipes off the dirt on him and proceeds to attempts firing a red version of Danny's ghost ray if not for Sonic kicking him hard across the head. Neo Metal slightly flinches a moment as he finds himself wrapped up by earth-like chains transmuted by Edward.
Taking his chance, Danny inhales deeply before shouting at Neo Metal. ''GHOSTLY WAIL!''
Neo Metal Sonic, having torn off the coil-like transmuted chains, watches as Danny unleashes his powerful wailing voice blast from his mouth. Instead of dodging or blocking it with something, Neo Metal walks right through the wailing attack. Danny startles by this but didn't stop putting more sound into his attack… until with a swipe of his right hand, Neo Metal blows and shatters the Ghostly Wail hitting him leaving no damage or scratches on him. Danny sweats by this as Neo Metal vanishes in a single second and the next he kicks Danny so hard across the chest that it sends him slamming through a wall and crashes on the other side, demorphing back to his human form. Danny breathes heavily like the air was kicked out of him with that.
''YOU DAMN BASTARD!'' Snapping angrily, Ed claps his hands and points with them firing Blast Alchemy at the tin can. Metal Sonic watches and responds firing a red version of Rasengan but shooting it like a bullet. The attacks collided though Ed's was seemingly winning until Neo Metal transmute his left arm resembling Tensa Zangetsu and swings it, firing a red version of Getsuga Tensho. Fullmetal panics as the energy slash hit the Rasengan and create a massive blast, tearing through his. Ed yells sent flying and crashing head first onto the ground. He gasps spinning as he crashes again on his back. Edward grunts in much pain with the top of his head bleeding out a bit.
Sonic glares trying to keep his cool as he charges at Neo Metal but in an instantly Neo Metal Sonic appears right in front of Sonic and proceeds to unleash a barrage of kicks and punches, beating up the blue hedgehog badly. Neo Metal then grabs him by the neck, squeezing Sonic who still struggles badly.
''Are we done, Sonic?'' Neo Metal questions him having been done with this silly fight. Sonic cracks a smirk and replies weakly. ''H-Hardly…''
Neo Metal Sonic glares, his eyes glowing, as he raises his left arm and morphs it back to its original form but now its engulf in red, ribbon-like electricity resembling Ribbon Chidori. Sonic just chuckles pretty much not liking this.
''Goodbye, my-'' Neo Metal begins to declare his farewell with his counterpart but before he could finish the deed a voice shouts. ''DRAGON RASENGAN BULLET!''
Knowing that voice instantly Neo Metal Sonic tries to turn around, preparing to engage the Dragon Knight only to get hit instantly by Yugi appearing right in front of him, slamming a destructive Dragon Rasengan across his chest and explodes. Neo Metal, his robotic red irises eyes widen, is thrown back with his chest piece torn apart leaving a hole. He's soon slammed onto the wall and leaving a hole there too. Neo Metal is left in that crater in pieces, his eyes turned off again.
Sonic gasps out falling on his feet and notices the arm of Neo Metal Sonic was still around his neck but without his main body. He sighs removing it and kicking it away.
''Woah!'' The blue hedgehog utters out amazed eyeing up to see Yugi floating in the air. Danny comes back from his hole as did Ed rubbing his head oddly ringing a bit. They see up to also see Yugi still floating in the air and wield a completely different sword but it has the same dragon-like design.
''So that's Yugi's Dragon Blade huh?'' Danny states remembering Ichigo telling them how much powerful Yugi was in that form. No kidding. Ed also agrees muttering out. ''Pretty impressive.''
Jonouchi rushes over panting still holding Kurosaki's body. He should really train his body after this is over but grins on the compliments on Yugi's super badass power. He looks at where Sonic's evil robot counterpart was crashed and calls him out smirking. ''Never underestimate my best friend, metal freak! When you mess with the Dragon Knight, you mess with me too!''
Yugi looks at him and lands next to him, advising him. ''Um maybe you shouldn't provoke him even if he's shut down, Jonouchi-kun.''
Jonouchi just laughs as with one arm rubs Yugi by the hair. Yugi blushes nervously that he would do that to him but now he's gotten taller which feels pretty embarrassing. Danny just smiles seeing those two get along like that basically nothing like how Tucker used to be before when he had just started with his ghost powers. Then the whole Desiree mess happened and Tucker well, went more jealous than usual. He's gotten better since then but Danny can tell Jonouchi is far from jealous towards Yugi, in fact he's pretty happy.
''Jonouchi, I'm going to say Tucker can learn much from you.'' Danny tells the dirty colored blond headed. Jonouchi turns to eye him, staring rather confused as he questions clueless. ''On what?''
Danny hums trying to think how he should put it but Ed with a look of annoyance points it out actually pointing his finger at Yugi's Dragon Blade. Jonouchi blinks looking at where Ed is point and once he sees the sword he gets it saying surprised. ''Oh! Pff, I would screw up using those powers.''
Ed just makes a dumbfounded face how smart Jonouchi smarted in saying that. Jonouchi nods knowing better than anyone he would abuse the heck out of those powers for personal gain. He learned such thing never makes you happy, thinking of Kaiba, and knowing well Yugi would use it to protect those in his heart.
''Besides, best Yugi than someone else who would have abused them.'' He expresses with a firm voice. Yugi smiles thought sweat drops as he mentions. ''That and also using Dragon Clones to help you in homework assignments.''
Jonouchi startles greatly panicking nervously as he yells at the tricolor head panicking. ''Yugi, not in front of the others!''
Ed and Danny sigh smiling not surprised. Sonic grins though he's not sure why but Metal Sonic might not be finished yet.
Unaware by the group, strange metallic liquid leaks out from the hole that Neo Metal Sonic crashed through and they were the pieces of the very same robot. Even the arm that was removed and kicked away turned into liquid but it starts moving towards the other liquid becoming one.
The liquid drips in one pond but then it starts moving swift and quietly. Getting away from the five, the liquid starts reacting and raises up, taking the form of a certain metal robot.
''… No…'' Having reform fully repaired, Neo Metal Sonic tells himself while clinching his robotic claws tightly. His eyes glow red gazing at the Marmotah, he says ominous before vanishing most likely going towards it. "This isn't over.''
The end of this war is over but Metal Sonic's fight is far from over. What will the ruthless robot do now? Can our heroes defeat him?
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…
The Imperials have lost however Metal Sonic is far from defeated. Having planned this all in advanced, the Ultimate Overlord unleashes his masterplan to become what he has desired for so long; to become undefeated. With the Data of Team Dragon Knight, can our heroes defeat what can be considered as more powerful than the Chaos Emeralds?
DragonKnight15: No short preview. There's a reason why… I got nothing, because next chapter will be all the thrill you guys will need. SO…
Yugi nods: R-right, I was getting to that. Next time in Yu-Gi-Oh! Dragon Knight Reborn: The Decisive Battle! Defeat Metal Overlord!
Mew Ichigo smiles: Please remember to read, enjoy and review Nya. See you all next time Nya for the big climax!
Author's Note: I should mention this somewhere but Vine's backstory is sort of identical to the one in SHONEN ALLIANCE… somewhat. I couldn't make it the same due to… reasons, and stuff. My apology to Vineman who I asked permission to use Vine for Volume 4 beforehand and never got a reply so I scrapped the Raging Blast from the story. Then I got the permission pretty late in the arc and well… here we are. I can say Vine is the same age as he should be from when he should have joined Squad 7 in his story that Vineman made, maybe slightly older, but that is all.
So the thing I enjoy about pitting Yugi with someone who is his opposite is to give out the whole presence of how Yugi has to confront this foe. With Maximilian, it is the concept of true power. With Light, it is about the morals of a human being. With the Dark Lord, it is who wants to change the world. With Aizen, it is how much more human you are. Hell, with Deep Blue, it is to not forget who you are. Yugi must pit these foes and overcome them but he wouldn't have been able to without his friends. Remember that guys. That will come in play again.
I have some news. You guys know my problems, my family problems, and money/jobless problems. Since I'm a very depressed person due to all of that, I need the Internet to not be driven to greater depressed like how I suffered around 2017 when I had no Internet for 7-8 months. Anyway, I was "forced" to pay for the Internet of this month since well my grandmom and I couldn't move out due to problems and well... I don't have any money for next month's bill. So... if worst happens, around the 20th of August, I will put on a new Hiatus and hope it can be paid eventually. What does this mean for DKR, other than the Hiatus? Well this first arc will end before then so no worries. And I might squeeze the first and second chapters of the next arc but if I cannot, you guys will know why. I'm sorry to everyone, I wish I can continue this but life is that much unfair.
