Almost all characters, objects, names, places, powers, moves, events, plots and weapons are not original worked. They were already made from other manga, anime and cartoon stories. They are also already copyrights that I do not own. This story is an anime story. P.S. This story is also a crossover of other anime/cartoon stories like Naruto Shippuden, Bleach, Yu-Gi-Oh! GX, Sonic X plus other Sonic the Hedgehog video game/Anime/Archie and characters, Danny Phantom, Fullmetal Alchemist, Valkyria Chronicles AND now Sailor Moon (finally). I am borrowing Erika Aoyama and Mew Erika from Redwallfan2000. Ichigo Momomiya is NOW 17 (Volume 4 to 10) years old than 12-13 like in the anime/manga. This is not also a copy of either any "Dragon knight" or "Dragon Knights" stories.
Hello readers and fans of DKR, this is Episode 20 of the second new Arc of Volume 4: Crystal Moon!
As the title of this arc spells out… Sailor Moon Arc. And much like my friend and fellow Fanfic writer, Redwallfan2000, AND others who tried and disconnect their stories, I will be doing the cousin relationship between Ichigo Momomiya and Usagi Tsukimo… but how they met and knew of their powers will be VERY different. That will be revealed next chapter. As for this one, you guys will figure out which Sailor Moon arc I will start it off.
You guys will also get to see old and new faces as well as other stuff I promised my fellow reviewers, especially a certain one *COUGH* yes, it is THIS arc he will appear.
Also one more detail: Since the original and Crystal have stuff going for it better than the other, I will TRIED to COMBINE both as best as possible while also adding some things there and then… but mostly Crystal because I have never fell so much deep in Sailor Moon since watching Crystal. Like if you liked the original, this one is BETTER. F**KING better.
Now enjoy the new arc:
P.S. I do not own them all or any of them except this crossover story, so I wrote the band's or artist's name that wrote that song which I do not own again.
Intro: The Earth... is a great place where humanity and all other creatures live and learn to evolve little by little, but this great world has Darkness in it too. Evil beings who wish to conquer this world and everyone.
Only one being stood against them to show everyone the power of light and hope, but this great mythical dragon wasn't able to stop them. He gave his powers and hope to a human that was known by his name, the Dragon Knight!
Before this hero also met his end, he gave the legendary Dragon Sword and his hopes and dreams to the next knight, his youngest son who is destined to become a legend by the sides of his comrades and his love. This hero... is the Dragon Knight of Light!

Volume 4: Episode 20: Memories of Yesterday! The Bonds between Cousins and Rivals!
In the previous episode of DKR:
Finally back home, Yugi and the others smiled to be back in Domino though a little sad for Ed and Al not able to visit home but next time. Alicia, having decided to join Team Dragon Knight to help her new friends, widened her eyes blown away from the large city and so many things that would drive a person insane.
The group showed Alicia many things even taking her to Café Mew Mew to show her new ways of baking bread which burns Alicia's desires to become a better baker. At that time they met up with the Mew Mews and Erika asked of Yugi if she may duel him. Yugi blinked not following but Erika explained it will help her get a better grip in her power to predict events if she fights against one who changes his own destiny. Yugi, smiling about that idea and the thought of dueling her himself, accepted her challenge and the two clashed and Alicia witnessing her first duel.
The duel between Yugi and Erika commenced as Erika used her Vision monsters and ability to manipulate her future to counter every one of Yugi's strategists even preventing him from using certain cards and even stopped Gandora-X. Far from beaten, Yugi showcased his strength and summons a brand new Ritual Monster, Magician of Chaos, to counterattack Erika's field. Erika wasn't finished using her new Ritual Monster that she used against Aigami, Empress of Visions – Janne, to combat Yugi's newly evolved Ritual, Magician of Black Chaos MAX, and it was Erika that won that battled but all part of Yugi's plan to summon Osiris and defeated Erika in one blow. Having still enjoyed the duel, Erika thanked Yugi and hoped her power to see the future can help them in the upcoming battles.
Everyone then went their own paths with Alicia going to live with Ichigo and she asked the Gallian why she wanted to come here. Alicia, smiling, answered her that she wants to use her powers as a Valkyria to help make a better future and make sure Selvaria's death wasn't in vain (which wasn't but she doesn't know that) and also she wants to help her new family too. Ichigo purred happily glad they're friend and the two went shopping with Alicia confused.
However, deep in space, the shell body that was Dark Oak prepared to revive his army but he was confronted by Aigami offering him a chance to join forces with him. Refusing as he viewed the Dark Lord as his ally, Aigami sighed revealing another ally of his that easily destroyed and eliminated Dark Oak once and for all. And of this was just the beginning as Aigami prepared to meet a group known as the Black Moon Clad.
Who was this being that killed Dark Oak and what new threat Team Dragon Knight will confront… and allied to meet too?
And now the conclusion... last left off in the previous episode:
It is another peaceful morning as Yugi yawns walking on the streets of his home town towards his school. He had a crazy 2-3 weeks fighting in a crazy war against basically a dictator and the metallic robot version of one of his friends. However, he learned much from that and gained a new friend as well. Alicia has been overwhelmed with her new environment but she's proving to handling it better than Naruto did. She actually likes TV, mostly Cooking Shows that involves in bakery.
The tricolor hums almost arriving to school on time for once… until suddenly he's tackled by the back by Ichigo not looking where she was running at. The two drop hard on the ground, grunting.
''M-Morning Ichigo-kun.'' Yugi utters out his eyes spinning very dizzy. The red cherry head gasps getting up fast with a red, embarrassing face.
"Ah my bad, Yugi-kun! I wasn't looking where I was going again. Exhausted of all the homework I had last night." Ichigo explains herself still nervous as she's pulling Yugi up. The tricolor head kinda suspects that would be the case. He notices the multiple sheets of paper that were hanging on the ends of her briefcase. Since they were in Gallia, they missed a lot of assignments thus they were given a lot when they returned back. At least they have almost over a month to complete the assignments.
''So um study date?'' Yugi suggests knowing she'll need all the help to complete them. That and he kinda needs some help too. Ichigo blushes as her tail wags, almost unworthy to have such a wonderful boyfriend… but sadly she couldn't this time explaining herself. ''I REALLY do though today might be a little tricky Nya.''
"How come?" Yugi asks, curious to what reason on Earth would prevent Ichigo from getting ALL the help in finishing her homework which she hates more than dealing with Ryou. Ichigo oddly giggles almost joyfully like she can't resist herself.
''Well… tomorrow will be AWESOME! Super awesome even Nya!'' Ichigo just expels out loudly and excitedly. Yugi chuckles blushing, now getting curious what is making his girlfriend this happy. He says taking a guess what is making her happy. ''Really? I mean tomorrow we have a short break thankfully.''
Ichigo purrs nodding that they'll be given a holiday break from school. This also meant they'll have more time working on their late assignments and enjoy some peace.
"That… and also because some of my relatives are visiting." Ichigo says as she raises her eyes up towards the clouds. Yugi raises an eyebrow having recalled from Ichigo that she has a cousin. He hasn't meant her before so this can be really amazing to finally get to meet her.
"I can't wait to meet my Strawberry Kitten's cousin you have mentioned me like million times now." Yugi proclaims smiling happy. Ichigo lets out a giggle by that comment correcting him. "Please Nya! It's exactly 3128 times that I have mentioned her."
Yugi sweat drops, now amazed Ichigo had been counting the number of times she has mentioned her now.
"Anywho, I was excited when my parents told me about the news… just as I had another Eddy problem." Ichigo begins saying slightly upset recalling the terrible morning she had.
"EDDY! GET OUT OF THERE! I AM RUNNING LATE NYA!" Ichigo was yelling loudly at Edward Elric inside the bathroom and she was slamming her right hand on the door while holding her towel over her left arm. She should be using her own bathroom, but she couldn't because it was sort of fill with a terrible smell after one day Naruto used it. It wasn't his fault… it was and now she was running late because Ed had been in the bathroom… OVER AN HOUR!
"SORRY! I HAD TO GO, KITTY CAT!" Ed apologized once more, regretting that he took that bet with Judai and Naruto to eat a Burrito-Shrimp Ramen last night and Ed had terrible stomach pains ever since he woke up today. Ichigo just didn't care as she was running late because she needed to get to school early!
She started knocking on the door harder as she started yelling louder. "SO HELP ME I WILL KICK YOUR BUTT WITH THIS DOOR INTO YOU NYA!"
Edward didn't need Ichigo's whining this early in the morning and he did say he was sorry, but of course, this never helped. He proceeded into yelling back louder."TRY IT AND I WILL KICK YOUR CAT SIZE BUTT!"
"STOP USING THOSE WORDS OR I-" Ichigo exploded in rage that her whole face was red of her anger. She would have continued until Judai tapped on her. She turned around as he gave her a smile while he said calmly."Guys! Geez, I think I had bigger yelling contest with Manjoume than you and Metal Arm did."
Without thinking twice, Judai went around Ichigo and opened up the door, and he was surprised that Ed was in the toilet. This made Ichigo to cover up her eyes from seeing Ed's ''member'' as Ed went mad with rage."WHAT THE HELL JUDAI!"
Judai was still surprised as he looked behind the door and noticed it wasn't lock. He turned back to Ed, who was still red with rage, as he questioned the alchemist while pointing at the knob."Hey? Didn't you lock up the door?"
"GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE MORON!" Ed shouted once more as he tried to cover his ''member'' from the annoying duelist. Judai was a bit clueless by why Ed is so upset. Sure he enter the bathroom, during the time he was pooing out some… brown stuff out from his body, but there was no need to freak out that badly.
"Relax Ed." Judai replies calmly and with a grin, which Ed did not like. He was not relaxed and he was not enjoying the fact that Judai just enter the bathroom without knocking FIRST!
"I am not relaxed! NOT RIGHT NOW!" Edward responded angrily as he wanted to bite his head off, but Judai was not close enough to bite him or nothing. So he just yelled like a mad dog and Judai just grinned happily with no worries. Ichigo, in the other hand, did not believe her bad luck and time was not on her side either.
"Oh god, I don'thave time for this! I'm going to use my parent's bathroom." Ichigo declared frustrated as she marched away from the two morons in her house. She had to try to bring a girl over her house instead of more morons. She then came to parent's room, knock on the door of course, and walked in.
"Kaa-san, Oto-san? Can I use your bathroom?" The cherry haired girl asked her mother as she noticed she was already ready for the day. Ichigo felt a bit jealous of her mother at this time because her father isn't a slacker or an idiot.
"Not having luck dear?" Her mother Sakura asked as she looks at her messy haired daughter. Ichigo sighed as she couldn't even begin how to say it, but pass all that was that she was not surprised. She replied as she rubbed over her messy hair. "No, but I am not surprised."
"Oh, Ichigo is here. Listen dear! We have big-important-super-news!" Ichigo's father, Shintaro, spoke as he raced out of the bathroom, just finishing tying up his tie. Ichigo noticed the overexcited smile on her father's face that it kinda scared her a bit; worried that he has something crazy to say, and boy was she right. She just didn't have the time to listen to it and had to act fast to avoid the conversation.
"Oh boy… Can I use the bathroom first?" Ichigo kindly tried to excuse herself as she gently walked around her father and enter the bathroom. She locked up the door so he wouldn't try to enter or anyone else in that matter. Shintaro felt awkward now, and sadden a little that his daughter is too busy to not hear her father. Still, he had to tell her so she wouldn't forget. He knocked on the bathroom door, hoping to stop Ichigo from removing her clothes and taking a shower.
"Just wait Ichigo, listen please. Tomorrow starts the one week off from school, so me and your mother were thinking and agreed on this; we invited the Tsukino family to come over for a week visit." Shintaro told her daughter through the door, which made her stop whatever she was doing. What her father made her to be frozen completely like if she was trapped in an ice cube. She tried to gather everything her father just said in small, key words. Shintaro and Sakura then began to get worry if their daughter must have collapsed of the pressure. Both place their ears on the door, hoping they could hear something that would confirm she was fine. They got their answer; sadly after Ichigo kicked the door opened and which sent both parents to the wall in moaning pain.
"NO WAY! REALLY NYA!" Ichigo shouted overexcited that it broke her parents' ears and caused them to hear almost nothing but faint sound for a minute. Ichigo was truly not herself as she started to act all too happy and hyperactive, more than Naruto. Shintaro started to sob to what he had done while Sakura says with a nervous, sweat dropping face and smile."I knew she would be happy."
Both parents, after a minute, had their hearing back to normal as they still were shocked to see Ichigo still acting all excited like a lunatic. Ichigo then began to clap her hands, like cheering, as both Shintaro and Sakura heard her muttered a little too loud. "She's coming! She's coming! She's coming! Cousin Usagi-chan, SHE'S COMING NYA!"
Ichigo's father sighed, regretting even telling her about the visit with Sakura's sister's family. He should have told her after school so she wouldn't be this hyper, but it was too late for that. He instead took a breath in and grabbed on his hyperactive daughter's shoulders to calm her down. The last time Ichigo acted as such when the mention of a visit from her cousin happened… well… let's just put it that the neighbors never talked to them, like never. He calmly told her as he does his best to not let Ichigo to run off."Oh yes. Well today… They will stay with us for a week. So please get your room tidy and please, we might need you to not go to work today too."
"And be here by 5PM. No spending too much time with your friends or Yugi-san." Ichigo's mother added with a wink and smile as she pointed her finger up. Ichigo understood all that and just nodded like a manipulated robot who obeys or a pet who wants her treat. "FOR ONCE… YES, YES, AND YES!"
She didn't mind not spending so much time with everyone else and even Yugi-kun; she wants to see her cousin that much more, especially since she doesn't have to worry about Ryou and him annoying her for every little thing.
"OH MY GOD! I got to get ready! EXCUSE ME!"Ichigo just realized that she needed to get her room in tip-top shape and prepare a space place for her cousin to sleep.
As soon as she declared that, she ran off to her room to tidy up… and she forgot all about taking a shower and going to school as she was late. Shintaro was left speechless, which shouldn't have surprised him as this is how Ichigo reacts when her cousin visits. Sakura, however, was still quite calm and happy that her daughter can see her cousin once more. She placed her right hand over her right cheek and muttered. "She is very happy, very happy dear."
Ichigo rushed as fast as she could to her room. That was when she saw Alphonse walked by and he waved hello to her. "Morning Ichi-"
"SORRY AL, IN A HURRY! BYE NYA!" Ichigo interrupted the youngest Elric and rumbled very fast, going around Al and continued her fast pace to her room. Al was left in the dust, speechless as his eyes in his mask just blinked with that ''cute'' look in them."Umm… sure?"
Ichigo arrived to her room as she rushed to her closet, opened it and took out pretty much everything as it was in some disaster of a good needed cleanup. Ichigo then noticed a photo behind her closet door, showing both herself as 8 years old and another girl with long blond, pigtail haired of the same age, waving. Ichigo smiled for a moment as she then exploded with joy. "COUSIN USAGI IS COMING NYA!"
Ichigo had loved a lot of people in her life: Yugi, Erika, Masaya, Eddy (at times and others he wants to beat him up to death), Kurosaki-kun, Judai, Naruto (sometimes), and well… a lot. She could also name the ones she hated, but she had no intention to because she wanted to only think about her cousin. That is why she had to make everything perfect.
"MUST PREPARE!" Ichigo declared as she took out blankets and camping beds and even sheets, hell almost everything with a few pillows. She started setting everything into place, making sure everything was to the point. As she was preparing and making it perfect, Ed walked in, with an exhausted expression after what had happened with Judai.
"Hey Ichigo, you can you use the… the…" Ed was trying to tell the cheery haired girl that she could use the bathroom, until he stopped at the sight of all the tidying and mess of clothes on the ground. Ed sweat dropped and then it multiplied as he saw Ichigo setting a camping bed near her bed. At first, he thought Ichigo would be having this ''sleepover'' or she went insane. He dared not want to ask, but he had no choice.
"You alright?" Ed asked her which made Ichigo to face him with a confusing look on her face and just replied in questionable tone."Huh what? Were you talking about the bathroom? What about it?"
Ed just stared at her, completely shocked that she would forget the whole ordeal they had about the bathroom a few minutes ago. He didn't even ask why she forgot; instead he looked at her clock and noticed that it was close to 8AM.
"Aren't you going to be late for school?" Ed asked as he pointed at the clock. Ichigo stared at it and it made her to stare at it, trying to figure out what the hell he was talking about."…"
Naturally, her eyes then widened as she started to remember. And finally, her pupils shrunk as she realized what she had to do and it turned her pale. And then, she yelled."CRAP!"
Ichigo had to go to school, so she decided to prepare later on. Before she left to the bathroom, she moved her head to face Ed and gave him a glare as she warned him."Don't you dare touch anything… or else. Bye Eddy!"
She waved goodbye and ran off to the bathroom. Ed stood there, not getting what she meant by ''Don't you dare touch anything… or else'' threat she told him. Edward just ignored the mess and left Ichigo's room, hopefully waiting when she might explain everything. Not to mention to not tell anyone how the hell did Judai entered the bathroom, even when he was sure he locked the door? It was a mystery, a stupid one better said.
Everyone was however unaware that Alicia, wearing a pair of pajamas that Ichigo gave her, just stared at the scenes she had witnessed. She sighed going to have to get used to this as an everyday thing.
"Huh? Didn't Edward-kun lock up the door?" Yugi, having heard the story, still finds it surprising that Ed didn't lock the door of the bathroom. Ichigo sweat drops agreeing with him saying. "You know I should have asked Nya. Anyway, what you think Nya?"
Yugi smiles wrapping his arms around her and cuddles her while he replies with a small smirk. "You're kidding? I'm very happy! I always wanted to meet this cousin of yours. So why not?"
Ichigo blushes really red purring as her cat tail wags happily.
"Thank you so much, Yugi-kun! But you might have to see her probably the day after, not sure yet. It's a family get together mostly Nya." Ichigo says both happy but also sad that Yugi can't meet her cousin just yet.
Yugi just giggles understanding since Ichigo and her cousin are very close. He replies smiling. "No problem! Just spend some time with your cousin first."
"I SURE WILL NYA!" Ichigo yells out excitedly while hugging him more. She's so lucky to have someone so sweet and compassionate like her Yugi-kun. The tricolor head giggles petting her head and soft cat ears. The red cherry head purrs softly how good that feels with her tail wagging more.
"I would love you to pet me more but we're going to be late Nya." Ichigo tells him with blushing cheeks. Yugi giggles agreeing with her stopping and holding her hand.
"Good point! I'll continue petting you later." Yugi says smiling warmly. Ichigo purrs smiling back as the two head out to school still holding hands close. The cat girl still giggles excitedly for tomorrow. Nothing can go wrong, nothing.
Inside his office within his company, Akumu hums enjoying a lovely cup of bloody red wine on his desk. He hums relaxing that his plans with Metal Sonic and Gallia worked like a charm. As much as he wanted Selvaria to join his side now, he can wait for her to make that decision. That way her loyalty and her desires will grow. He smirks evilly, positioning his hands in the ''Excellent'' pose. Everything is going his-
''My lord!'' Akumu panics losing his posture and sees Dark General Knight running out from the shadows and kneeling down before him. The Dark Lord gives him a firm look demanding while trying to relax himself from that sudden scare. ''What now my fateful general? I'm enjoying the peace before I decide to go after the brat.''
Dark General Knight bows for disturbing his lord's alone time as he explains himself rather nervous. ''Well… you see my lord… remember how Dark Oak offered he would rebuild his army to help you?''
Akumu just makes a narrow gaze having remember that Dark Oak wanted to give him a larger army to show he is a true ally of his and gain his wishes of conquering that seed planet or whatever it was.
''Yes? Where the hell is he? I know he's just machine than his… eh… real plant alien self but that's no excuse on his-'' Akumu demands furious by the Metarex Leader's laziness to rebuild his army to truly feel like an equal to himself. However his words were suddenly cut off as Dark General Knight places something on his desk in front of him. Akumu looks at what his general put and his eyes widened greatly.
''…'' The room is now in silence as the Dark Lord and his somewhat sadden general look down at what resembles the torn-up dented head of Dark Oak. Akumu gasps, gritting his teeth enrage as he slams his fists on the desk actually cracking it a bit.
''W-what the hell! Dark Oak!'' Akumu explodes in yells not believing this. No, why Dark Oak?! He was so damn good and he died easily. He defeated that annoying hedgehog in his strongest form and now he's been killed. How is all he is questioning?
Dark General Knight nods upset as well when he got a strange sensation out of Earth's reaches. He decided to investigate, teleporting there and he found remains of metal pieces in that corner of space and the intact remains of the Metarex.
''I found his robotic head's remain in space, what is left of it.'' The dark general tells him most shock when he saw the scene. Akumu, gritting his teeth even tighter, is struggling to contain his anger that his eyes morph to resemble his Dark Lord's demonic red-yellow irises dragon eyes.
''D-DAMN IT!'' He curses out getting up from his chair immediately. He struggles to what he should: either destroying this whole office or start roaring angrier. Instead he glares at his general and questions him furious. ''WHO! WHO WAS IT?! HOW DID YOU FOUND HIM LIKE THIS?!''
Dark General Knight looks down still not sure. Dark Oak's signal was blocked or disable before he could sent it.
''That would be me, my dear Dark Lord.'' A voice suddenly speaks up alerting the Dark Lord greatly as he knew THAT voice. Suddenly the hidden screen in the office opens up from within the wall and turns on, showing the smug image of Sosuke Aizen, sipping on what seems to be tea or coffee. Akumu widens his eyes more than enrage as he mutters with a tone of murderous intentions. ''Aizen…''
Aizen smirks to see the Dark Lord well as he asks him enjoying another sip of his drink. ''Did your general found the remains of your pawn?''
Akumu continues gazing at him as his streams come out of his body, doing his hardest to not snap instantly.
''It was you…'' He assumes greatly sure that it is Aizen who did the deed. The former Shinigami just cracks a smile defending himself very calmly. ''Now why would it be me, Akumu Momomiya? If it was me, I would have been the one who brought his remains, not your general.''
Akumu oddly growls. Dark General Knight glares at the man for insulting his lord but sadly he wasn't wrong. Aizen would gladly take the credit for a death so long as it justifies his reasons or plans. He must have been spying on Dark Oak or something. Chances are Aizen knows who but even he won't tell them anything as that's more his style.
''No, it seems to be something else in space that destroyed your comrade before he knew what hit him. Shame though.'' Aizen proclaims giving a smug look at Akumu, putting down his cup of his drink down on his table. He then changes the subject still smirking softly. ''Have you heard of Yugi Mutou-kun awakening his Burst Limit?''
Akumu widens his eyes angrier already most aware of that and something he WANTED to stop or handle than this man who took his moment.
''It's a good thing I was the one Mutou-kun fought than you? He might have been able to kill-'' Aizen then begins saying but that was the breaking point for Akumu as he suddenly snaps angrily. He erupts in a roar as his body is completely consumed in black flames, morphing his body.
"You continue mocking me knowing full well WHAT I CAN DO TO YOU, AIZEN!" Blowing away the flames with his roars, Akumu emerges from the flames now as Dark Leader Dragon with now having his three heads. They all roar unleashing flames all over the room, actually burning Dark Dragon Hunters that were watching in the side lines and they scream incinerated instantly.
Dark General Knight lets out a sigh putting up his Dark Force Barrier Gate to protect himself from his lord's black flames of hatred as Dark Leader Dragon's original head roars like a monstrous beast, actually shaking the entire tower like an earthquake. ''YOU DARE TAKE AWAY MY PREY AND MOCK MY FALLEN ALLY FOR THE LAST TIME AIZEN! YOU WILL PAY FOR ALL OF THIS!''
Aizen chuckles almost amuse by the Dark Lord's temperament but even that gets boring. He asks of the still roaring dragon calmly but stern. ''Please try to speak more civilize, Akumu. Your dragon form is the worst form for us to speak.''
Dark Leader Dragon gasps and stops now really angry as he demands, holding back his rage. ''WHAT-DO-YOU-WANT?''
Chuckling, Aizen explains his reasons to have called him. ''It seems whoever killed your robotic ally might come here. And if he is that much stronger, then it would be a threat to us and our goals especially the same goal we share: testing and defeating Mutou-kun, no?''
The Dark Lord just glares at him, almost having a strange feeling that Aizen is playing an angle or something.
''Then how about we talk more in detail, face-to-face.'' Aizen suggests with a small smirk wanting the two to meet after a long time.
Dark Leader Dragon is already annoyed by him to ever see him in person… and yet he would enjoy meeting the Shinigami backstabber after all this time, and try to kill him.
"I couldn't help but agree. When and where?" Dark Leader Dragon accepts the meeting. Aizen smirks happy to hear that and responds. "Tonight, on top of that Tokyo Tower."
"Then I'll see you there." The Dark Lord replies back to the meeting spot. Aizen still smirks, knowing he will come and they can finally have a civilize talk. "And we will."
With that, Aizen hangs off and the screen turn itself off, moving back to its hidden spot. Dark Leader Dragon finally sighs, knowing he'll have to see him again and it was not what he wanted to do.
"Is this a good idea, my lord?" Dark General Knight finally speaks concerned and untrusting about the fact that Aizen wanted to see him and knew it could turn into an all-out war, or worst. With Sosuke Aizen, it's best to be ready for the worse than expect it.
"…" Dark Leader Dragon remains quietly, agreeing that his general was right; however, he couldn't help but not let this chance in finding out what Aizen wanted with him. It could be a trap, but he didn't care as long as he can hurt him and find out the truth. He takes a deep breath as he turns to face Dark General Knight ordering him. "Call our allies, we'll need them."
Dark General Knight widens his eyes in shock that his master would go with this. He was about to protest of this danger, but the Dark Lord beats him to it and yells angrily. "NOW!"
"AT ONCE, MY LORD!" Dark General Knight replies back, scared in his voice to not disobey what the Dark Lord wants. He leaves in a hurry to gather the rest of the Dark Lords that are nearby. The Dark Lord takes another breath out, and begins to chuckle a little. He couldn't help but find some humor in this troublesome day. He enjoys the fact that he can test out his current form's maximum power; and who else but Aizen to find out… Not to mention to make him remember the terror of the Dark Lord.
"Aizen, you will soon remember why I am called the Dark Lord of Darkness. Just you watch." Dark Leader Dragon vows with a menacing tone and then begins to laugh evilly at the endless darkness around him. He couldn't help it but not wait for tonight.
Commercial Break:
Ichigo: Finally! My cousin is coming and I am psych, Nya!
Akumu: I can't wait to kill you at last, Aizen!
Within the city of Tokyo, in a regular house, loud noises were heard but it was typical in the Tsukino Residence.
"MAMA! PAPA! Are we almost done?!" Yelling up in her room, 15ish year old Usagi Tsukino is packing her stuff for the big home visit to see her favorite cousin. Usagi is a young woman who has a slim figure and pale skin. She has big sky blue eyes, and long, golden blonde hair kept parted in the center and typically tied into two buns, long pigtails odango hairstyle. She is wearing a white, blue sailor fuku uniform with a large red ribbon on front attached to a round pink brooch with a golden crescent moon as a decoration and a gold star in the middle with four smaller round circles with the following colors: Red, Blue, Green and Orange.
"Usagi! You need to stop asking us that!" Disciplining her daughter to be more patient, Ikuko Tsukino says trying to prep dinner for her family. She is a young woman with long dark blue and curly hair which she wears in a half loose ponytail and short bangs similar to her daughter's. She is wearing the simple female outfit with a red apron.
"Yeah Baka Usagi! Just calm down." Playing his portable video game, Shingo Tsukino calls out how much more of a child his so-called older sister is. He has green eyes and yellow ochre colored hair.
Usagi pops out from the corner in the stairway and calls him out angrily. "HEY! I AM VERY EXCITED!"
"Well it is the first time after 4 years since you haven't seen your cousin." Smiling to see his daughter this happy, Kenji Tsukino says. He has short black hair and wears glasses, still wearing his business suit.
Ikuko sighs admitting that Usagi hasn't seen her cousin Ichigo in a long time.
"Well you know how my sister's law-in-brother is with his job." She tells her husband how well Sakura is handling Shintaro's… madness of sorts being a principal and gets paid more than in his last job. Kenji sighs muttering. "Sadly so."
"So Usagi has a cousin? Besides me?" Blinking confused in the corner of the room, Chibiusa asks very confused. She has pink hair and red eyes. Like Usagi, she wears her hair in odango with shorter pigtails than Usagi, though instead of the buns being round, they are styled to look like a rabbit's ears. She wears a blue-white sailor outfit with a red ribbon on her chest.
Usagi narrows her eyes in a suspicious anime look, almost forgetting that her moments with her cousin might not be enjoyable with the crisis around the mini-me Usagi.
Ikuko giggles petting Chibiusa's head explaining to her so-called daughter. "Yes she does Chibiusa-chan. Both Usagi and her cousin are like best friends."
"Not to mention she is way more responsible than Baka here." Shingo points out way preferring Ichigo over his actual sister. Usagi just sticks her tongue and proclaims winking. "I'm not going to get mad today… BECAUSE I WILL SEE MY COUSIN TODAY!"
"NO YELLING USAGI!" Ikuko yells at her furious causing Usagi to cry in terror running back to her room walking right past her pet and partner Luna. The cat is black with sleek fur and has a yellow crescent moon on her forehead. She is very petite with long whiskers. Luna sighs by Usagi's nature but relief they can see Ichigo again.
Returning to her room, Usagi giggles excitedly telling herself smiling. "I can't wait to see you again, Cousin Ichigo-chan."
Flashback… 9 years ago:
It was a bright day in the other side of Tokyo, Minato-ku, where younger Ichigo Momomiya and Usagi Tsukino were staring at a container of ice cream that Usagi's mother bought. They were both fix on the container as it had the triple flavors of vanilla, chocolate and strawberry. Both girls lick their lips with their dry tongues as they wanted to eat it.
"Now you two be good for a few minutes and do not eat the ice cream." A younger age Ikuko told nicely her daughter and her sister's daughter, before she glared at them both with serious, scary looking eyes. "AND YOU BETTER NOT!"
Kid Ichigo nodded nervously, completely paralyzed by the terror of her aunt. Usagi just nodded and smiled too, lying, hoping her mother wouldn't suspect much after she leaves.
"Yes Usa's mama!" Kid Ichigo replied with a frightened tone. Usagi's mother smiled as she knew Ichigo would listen; now she was worried for her own daughter. Even so, she had to leave for a moment so they wouldn't cause so much trouble while she was gone. So she left, leaving the two kids alone.
With her mother gone, Kid Usagi grinned as she walked to a small chair, dragged it to the counter where the Ice Cream container was at. Kid Ichigo stared closely to her cousin as she stood on the chair and opened up the container, looking at the three flavors. Just staring at them, made Usagi to droll in her mouth and decided to eat it with her cousin.
"Hey Cousin Ichi, let's dig in!" Kid Usagi declared as she gave Kid Ichigo a big grin. Kid Ichigo, however, didn't like that idea as it made her just remembered her aunt's frightening look. She was too scared to even eat it as she knew it would be very bad.
"I don't think that's a good idea, Cousin Usa." Kid Ichigo protested. Kid Usagi knew that her cousin was scared, but she wasn't and she had a ''wicked'' idea to convince her to agree with her. Kid Usagi jumped off the chair and came close to her cherry haired cousin.
"I know, BUT IT LOOKS SO GOOD!" Kid Usagi explained tried to convince her loudly. She then grabbed Kid Ichigo's right hand and dragged her up to the chair, and let her see the delicious ice cream. Ichigo tried to resist the tasty treat in front of her, so she won't suffer the consequence. Usagi quickly notices the fear in her cousin's face, so she needed to act fast to convince her.
"If we don't eat it, it will melt. And then, no creamy goodness!" Kid Usagi described, whispering it through Kid Ichigo's ear which made Ichigo to shiver. She didn't want to mess her chance to eat some of it before it melts. Ichigo started to shake up as her lips were drooling out some of her saliva. Usagi was very close and she had the thing to convince her for good. She grinned as she pointed at the strawberry flavor."It has Strawberry flavor, your favorite."
As soon as Usagi said that, Ichigo's stomach started to growl. Not only that, but she started to sweat and breath heavily, knowing she can't hold it in anymore and just wanted to eat a little of it… or more. She couldn't take it anymore, and she didn't care what would happen afterwards. So Ichigo did a short loud ''YIP'' sound and finally admitted it."OKAY! You convince me!"
Kid Usagi grinned happily as she finally got her cousin to eat the ice cream that it made her want to hop in joy. "LET'S EAT!"
"Umm… our thanks?" Ichigo proclaimed that caused the blond pigtailed to laugh nervously, knowing they need to say thanks for the treat they will devour in their stomachs."Oh yeah."
Ichigo smiled, knowing she's the only one to teach her about saying thanks for the food. Both girls hold their hands together in a pray and bow to the ice cream before them with great respect. "Itadakimasu!"
Kid Usagi then began to grab big scoops of ice cream with both hands and ate them with pleasure. All that yummy goodness made Usagi to moan with joy as her cheeks and mouth were covered with ice cream. "SO GOOD!"
Kid Ichigo sweated drop in horror of the sight of seeing her cousin just eat like some kind of animal. She sighed as she opened a cabinet and took out to spoons. If there were a few things that her parents taught her, it's to eat properly and still enjoy the pleasure of yummy goodness.
"Umm Cousin Usa-chan, we should eat with a spoon." Ichigo suggested as she handed out a spoon to her cousin. Usagi looked at the spoon and then her cousin's warming smile. Usagi wasn't one to use spoons, but her cousin did and she wanted to be good for her. So she wiped off the ice cream off her face with her arm sleeve and received the spoon as she apologized to Ichigo."OH YEAH! My bad."
Ichigo just nodded; she didn't mind it much. With that, both girls took multiple scoops with their spoons, eating the ice cream and moaning with pleasure for each bite. They were about to finish the container as Usagi's mother came back and gasped of shock to what she is seeing."OH MY!"
Both Kid Ichigo and Kid Usagi stood frozen as they look at Ikuko, with their mouths fill with ice cream. Both girls were now extremely scared to what Usagi's mother will do to them. Ikuko sighed at the two girls which confused them."Sigh! You two are truly cousins huh?"
She noticed that her daughter had a spoon in her hands, eating the ice cream than using her hands like anything else. It was impressed and it made Ikuko very happy as she added. "Well at least Usagi is eating with a spoon. That isn't as bad as I'd hoped to be."
"Enjoy your treat girls." Ikuko declared with a happy smile as she winked at both girls. She then left, leaving both girls quite confused. They both expected to be punished, but it wasn't that at all. So both Ichigo and Usagi just nodded and shouted with happy smiles as they returned back at eating the ice cream."THANK YOU!"
Usagi giggles more for tomorrow indeed. From outside the room, Chibiusa eyes her frowning rather concern if there will be a tomorrow, shivering while holding tightly on Luna-P.
Ichigo has been on work preparing her room for space that she and her cousin can sleep together.
"I'm going to prepare my room so Cousin Usagi-chan and I can do a lot of stuff Nya.'' She tells herself smiling not able to contain her excitement for tomorrow. She frowns a bit having gone through much that she needed this so badly to spend time with the one person who makes her smiles other than Yugi.
"I really missed her Nya. I can't believe how close we were back then.'' Ichigo proclaims to herself smiling softly how different she was back then but Usagi was always the same bright sun to her.
Flashback… 8 years ago:
It was a sunny afternoon as both Kid Ichigo and Kid Usagi were playing tag with each other. It was Ichigo's turn to hide and run away from Usagi. She was currently hiding on top of a tree branch, hoping to not get spotted. Even before she became a cat girl, Ichigo was naturally good climbing on trees.
"…" Kid Ichigo was doing her best to not make any sound that would alert or give her position to her cousin. She was holding very tight on the branch so she wouldn't fall to the ground. Even so, she was very confident that her Cousin Usagi wouldn't find her on a tree.
"I'm going to find you, Cousin Ichi!" Kid Usagi shouted out loud, carefree, while hoping around like a bunny rabbit. Ichigo observed carefully to where her cousin was trying to look for her.
"… Just… got… to… stay… quiet." Kid Ichigo muttered frightened as she tries her best that her cousin would not spot her up on the branch. Ichigo was very nervous, trying her best to not get spotted. Her heart was beating heavily, and she was sweating too. She was sure she won't get spotted, that was until a squirrel just happened to appear in front of her.
"Eh?" Ichigo began to say as she stared in surprised at the appearance of the squirrel. She was about to greet it, until the furry little animal jumped over her head and then crawled on her legs. Ichigo began to feel uncomfortable and made began to giggle and even more for each walk. "No, no. Not there."
It was too late as the squirrel then wagged his tail under her tights and that was Ichigo's limit as she burst in laughter."HAHAHA!"
The squirrel then got frightened by Ichigo's odd laughter and ran off. Kid Ichigo laugh for a few moments until he left. Once he did, she began to calm down as fast as possible and got quiet. And then she forgot about why she was hiding. She began to worry if Usagi actually heard her laughter. She looked ahead from the branch and behind her, but no sign of her cousin. It was a good sign, a very good one.
"Sigh! At least she didn't spot me." Kid Ichigo told herself quietly as she was still invisible to her cousin. She rested her head on the branch to relax, but that soon changed as soon as she felt she was being watched. She looked down from under the branch, and widened her pupils as her Cousin Usagi was watching her and waving hello.
"FOUND YOU!" Kid Usagi shouted which spook out Kid Ichigo and made her grip on the branch become loose and slid downward to the far ground. "AH!"
That loss of balance almost made her drop if Ichigo didn't acted fast by retightening her grip on the branch with both hands and legs. As soon as she did, Ichigo was not happy as she was staring at the whole world up-side down. The reason why… was because she was hanging on the branch up-side down! Ichigo began to breathe heavier than she did before and finally panicked a little.
Usagi sweated drop by how Ichigo was grabbing on the tree branch, almost like a kid. She thought that maybe her cousin was playing with her, but she was not so sure. Usagi then asked Ichigo nervously. "Umm… You okay up there?"
Ichigo didn't reply as she didn't want to tell her that she's actually not okay and probably stuck. She felt embarrassed if she told her that, then she would be laughing at her all day long. And she was scared if she would do that. The very thought made her scared. However, she was also scared to fall and maybe get very hurt. So Ichigo took a breath in and began to blush red. She answered Usagi as she didn't look at her directly but behind her own back."… I'm stuck."
Usagi tightened her lips a bit by how funny it was that her cousin was stuck. However, in some part of her conscious, she couldn't do that to her own cousin. So she would be the responsible one and help her cousin out.
"Don't worry!"Kid Usagi replied as she grabbed on the tree and tried to climb up as best as she could, which was slow. "I'm coming to save you, Cousin Ichi!"
As soon as she reached like a quarter up, Usagi couldn't hold her grip tight enough and fell back to the ground. She slammed her butt on the ground, making her moan in pain. Usagi shook it off and tried to climb the tree again and ended up falling again. So she repeated the same thing again and again until she tried reaching towards her Cousin Ichigo but still falling. "Just… need… to… climb… this… tree!"
Kid Ichigo just stared, amazed by her Cousin Usagi's courage, and at the same time she sweated drop at the many failures she did. She had a good feeling that her cousin would never make it up to even the branch, then alone coming down from it. Ichigo sighed as she suggested a simple idea to her cousin who fell again. "Cousin Usa, maybe we should ask for help."
"Good point!" Usagi agreed, rubbing her butt. She couldn't do any more climbing if she wanted to have a bottom in the end.
Cousin Usagi went off to find some help and did in the form of the firefighter. After like 30 minutes, the firefighter brought his companies and a ladder to climb down Ichigo from the branch she was hanging on like a cat. The way she was hanging made the men laugh at it, but playfully and not mean.
Kid Ichigo sighed as she sat on the cold grass with her cousin beside her. Ichigo felt both stupid and embarrassed that even happened. And most of all, it was not even enjoyable.
"That was not fun." Ichigo said, resting her elbows over her legs and placing her hands over both sides of her cheek. She felt like a moron to even get into that mess. Usagi pated her cousin's back to comfort her."No, it was not."
Ichigo smiled a little to hear that, until Usagi began to laugh a little. It might not have been fun, but it was something else as she burst it out."BUT IT WAS FUNNY!"
Kid Ichigo was overwhelmingly shock as she leaded her head to the left with an open mouth. She could not believe what she heard from her Cousin Usagi just said. She got so mad at her that she yelled at her. "HOW CAN THAT BE FUNNY IF IT WAS NOT FUN?!"
Kid Usagi was very surprised to see her cousin that mad at her. Usagi blushed as she turned her eyes to not see her and replied. "Because you were grabbing that branch like a cat."
Ichigo just stared angrily towards her Cousin Usagi, both angry and confused. Why was she confused? It's because she was thinking about what Usagi said. Was she actually grabbing on that branch like a cat? It was crazy but she couldn't help but believe it. It kinda scared and amazed her at the same time.
"I was… wasn't I?" Ichigo asked her cousin as she placed her index finger over her chin. Suddenly, Usagi pokes Ichigo's cheek and giving her a big grin."YOU'RE IT!"
Ichigo widened her eyes in shocked that she forgotten all about the game they were playing tag.
"AH, NO WAY!" Ichigo protested in shock that she was not ready to continue the game. Usagi ignored her as she began to giggle and keeping a distant from her. "TRY TO CATCH ME NOW!"
Usagi ran away with her hands up which made Ichigo sighed, and then chased after her for the rest of the afternoon, while both laughing happily. "COME BACK HERE, COUSIN USA!"
Ichigo giggles loving those memories. She tells herself as she walks to her bathroom. "I'm looking forward to tomorrow Nya!''
She opens the door and screams pushing out Judai from her bathroom yelling. "GET OUT OF HERE, JUDAI-KUN!''
Judai lets out a nervous chuckle not meaning to be in there, just needed the bathroom, as he leaves her room. Ichigo sighs really needing to plan out how to kick out everyone else living in her home, at the least for tomorrow.
Above the tower of Tokyo Tower, Dark Leader Dragon is floating over the sky with his wings flapping, waiting for the man he hates to arrival. The rest of the Dark Lord's forces were waiting in the tower, looking up at the Dark Lord becoming even more impatient.
''Shame about Dark Oak. Even though he had tried to kill me before, he was turning a new leaf… in sense in not killing me or backstabbing us.'' Eggman expresses rather sad for their ally's death.
"True. Explains why the Dark Lord is growing more impatient for this Aizen fellow to show." Vlad states with his arms crossed a little worry about this ''meeting''. He, much like everyone else in the Dark Lord's court have been warned not to engage Sosuke Aizen who was more than powerful to handle even the likes of the Dragon Knight, alone.
"At any rate, this little clash will prove something quite interesting." Yami Bakura speaks out with an evil smirk over his face, curious how the Dark Lord will handle this Death God. Dark General Knight glares at the dark god's entertainment and reminds him with a threatening tone. "So you assume, Zorc. My lord will indeed struggle, but not by much. You shall see."
Yami Bakura just scoffs only hoping that this show becomes somewhat entertaining. The Meister, however, hums to himself as he starts banging on his upper thighs as if they were drums.
"…" The Dark Lord is very quiet, having his eyes closed. He's resting and concentrating until that man arrives. From the pitch dark cloud that was coming to block the crescent moon, something rip out from time and space as a black portal, almost looking like a mouth, opens up. The Dark Lord then immediately opened up his eyes to see Sosuke Aizen, stepping out of portal, with both Gin and Tosen beside him.
"Took you long to get here." Dark Leader Dragon speaks up angrily towards the former Shinigami. Aizen simply grins, not one bit embarrassed or concerned if he did arrive late. In fact, he found it amusing to see Dark Leader Dragon angry like a temper child.
"You could say I was here all this time." Aizen announces calmly, having both hands in his pockets. The Dark Lord is not amused by Aizen's insults with words; he hated that about him like everything else.
"Oh! I see that ol' dragon mouth brought his friends too." Gin says staring at the Dark Lord's allies with his foxlike smile. Dark General Knight glares angrily at the fool, never liking the man.
"They all are criminals to what true justice is." Tosen declares firmly holding on the hilt of his unsheathed Zanpakuto. Gin turns to Tosen telling him with a grin. "Yes, yes. Somehow we kinda know that."
"…" Between both the Dark Lord and Aizen, there was nothing as silence as the others watch quietly to the other.
Amon is quite curious why those two, the Dark Lord and this Shinigami, are even enemies. From what he was told by the evil general, Aizen was unique towards the Dark Lord's father and brother, whoever they were. Since then, the Dark Lord was not happy and the two were opposites of the same evil: Destruction and Conquering.
There is still silence between both villains until Aizen breaks the silence while still smirking. "So Akumu-kun, I never asked you this before but how was being locked up in that prison for like 20 years felt?"
Dark Leader Dragon narrows his demonic dragon pupils, eyeing at Aizen to be reminded of the torture he had to go through in his prison. Aizen notices the anger in the Dark Lord's eyes that it causes him to grin a little.
"Was it as horrible as Hell or just-" Aizen continues enraging the Dark Lord, until he's stopped as Dark Leader Dragon was now in front of him almost instantly, pointing his Darkness Scythe near his neck.
"Oh? Did I touch a nerve?" Aizen asks him still smirking. He gets his answer as the Dark Lord opens up his mouth and fires a fireball, point-range at Aizen's face. The blast causes an explosion that the Dark Lord back away, watching it grow until it reach near his face. Then the flames begin to blow away, revealing Aizen unscratched, staring at the Dark Lord with an amusing smile at his ''rival''.
"Well so be it." Aizen declares as he unsheathes his Zanpakuto, Kyoka Suigetsu, with his right hand and points it 45° degrees. The other reason for meeting the Dark Lord was that Aizen wanted to fight him again. He's never one to fight over and over, but he enjoyed his ''matches'' with Dark Leader Dragon. And it was ages since he ever fought him. Not to mention it was a good chance to show the Dark Lord who is the better one, to show Aizen's superior might over his. "I was hoping to fight you for a long time."
The understanding can be said for Dark Leader Dragon as well, hating and despising the Aizen has been more important than destroying the Dragon Knight. His rage and obsessing towards Aizen has been one of the reasons why he wants to destroy him. The other, to show the so-called ''intelligent foe'' whom was better. He roars at Aizen in a menacing tone. "And I always wanted to remove your head and EAT it, bastard!"
Aizen chuckles momentary, forgetting the Dark Lord did want to remove his head for a long time. He says with a smirk. "Oh? I forgot you did want that. I see some things don't change, Akumu-kun."
This anger Dark Leader Dragon, being named by his current human host, to the point that he will make Aizen pay. The Dark Lord roars angrily as he charges at Aizen while swinging his scythe like an animal. Aizen was forced backwards by the Dark Lord's wild slashes, but in fact Aizen didn't mind as he simple repelled each slash with his sword, countering each blow with ease.
Dark Leader Dragon growls furiously as he's forced to bring out his other two heads, between his original, and all three open up their mouths and gather up large amount of flames within them.
"TRI-DARK FIREBALL BLAZING FURY!" All three heads of the Dark Lord roar as they fire three large and power-up versions of the Dark Fireball Blaze, simultaneously, towards Aizen. The Shinigami just makes a smirk holding up his left hand forward.
"Kido #31: Shakkaho." Aizen declares calmly as a crimson orb of energy begins to gather around his fingertip. And then, it was explodes as a destructive pillar of red energy, coming towards the Dark Lord's triple fireballs. Both attacks clash, and Aizen's won breaking through the triple fireballs with ease. The Dark Lord flies around the crimson blast as he comes at Aizen close range.
"BLACK FLAME INFERNO!" Dark Leader Dragon shouts as his original head fires his black flames, charging their way towards Aizen.
"Kido #58: Tenran." Aizen counters the Black Flames by lifting up his left palm, and unleashes a wind-tornado blast, blowing away the Dark Lord's attack including himself. The black scaled dragon struggles pushing back the win as he raises his scythe.
"NOW I HAVE YOU! DARKNESS BLADE SLASH!" Dark Leader Dragon roars as he charges through the win right at Aizen again and swings his Darkness Scythe downward towards him. Aizen simple uses Shunpo to appear behind the Dark Lord, dodging the blade and the dark energy slash altogether and standing behind him with his own back. The Dark Lord spots him immediately twirling his body around to the right and redirects his swing to his back. Aizen also sees that coming and did nothing with his sword to block. Instead, he lifts up his left arm and the Dark Lord watches in shock as a light green hexagram barrier forms around Aizen's arm, blocking the scythe altogether.
The Dark Lord couldn't believe such a barrier could block his scythe, but as he tries saying, the barrier itself pushes the Darkness Scythe back. This only further enrages the Dark Lord and is about to demand Aizen how he did it, until he beat him to it. "El Escudo. This is a new one I created during your imprisonment. Even used it against Yugi-kun."
Dark Lord growls by that. Now he's very angry, a little more than he first started, as he points his scythe in a stabbing position and begins to pull it back and forth, creating a sequence of multiple piercing slashes.
"Bastard! DEMISE DARK FURY!" Dark Leader Dragon shouts as he flies towards Aizen while he increases the speed on his piercing slashes as each slash also fire a dark/purple energy blast. Aizen only smiles towards the Dark Lord's attempt to break through his barrier, as he only defend himself with it. Dark Leader Dragon makes contact with the shield and continues to rapidly swing his scythe as fast and powerful as he could to break it. However, for each swing and blast of energy, Aizen's barrier withstood it with ease. The Dark Lord is shocked that nothing was working on it which only causes Aizen to chuckle a little more.
"El Escudo. It can handle any of your mere slashes." Aizen proclaims as he swings Kyoka Suigetsu gently, taking a step and appears right in front of the Dark Lord swinging his blade. The Dark Lord repels with his Darkness Scythe and the clash actually pushes Dark Leader Dragon up high, which allows Aizen to cast a spell.
"Kido #54: Haien." Aizen points his left hand and swings it, firing a purple flame energy blast at the Dark Lord. Dark Leader Dragon is aware that move can eradicate the existence of anything it hits. However… the dark dragon smirks evilly as the purple flames hit him directly.
There was a small explosion of incinerating flames forming as Aizen watches carefully at where the flames that hit the Dark Lord were. He stays quiet certain that he survived that simple spell, and he was right. Black flames immediately appeared, over lapping the other flames and turning them into armor around the still alive Dark Lord.
"If those flames of yours are that strong, then my Black Flame Armor can handle your flames with ease. After all, my flames are pure hatred and its hatred can never vanish!" Dark Leader Dragon announces proudly with an evil laugh in the end. Aizen isn't upset, surprised yes, but that is because he forgot that the Dark Lord could even do that one. It pleased him because he thought it would be too easy.
"And I'm not finish yet." Dark Leader Dragon declares furious angrily as his flame armor disappeared. He lifts up his left claw as a dark glow surrounded that claw. As it did, down below, any liquid below them begins to gather itself together into dark watery bullets of boiling acid. Aizen raises an eyebrow, a little confused to what the Dark Lord was going to do though it reminded him of what Yugi did to him before. Without giving a warning, the evil dragon raises his left claw higher and shouts. "DARK AQUA ACID!"
Now giving the command, the acid water bullets shoot towards the unexpected Aizen. Dark Leader Dragon begins to form a wicked evil grin, knowing he finally has him where he wanted him. That was until he noticed that Aizen is grinning back. This now worried the Dark Lord as a light sliver/dark purple outline form around Aizen as it grew into an energy barrier. The water bullets were then vaporized as soon as they enter the barrier that Aizen formed around him. None of the others, except Gin and Tosen, noticed that happening from both sides.
"WHAT!" Dark Leader Dragon utters out, enraged that his sneak attack failed him so miserably. It was almost impossible. He glares at Aizen, who still haw that same expression over his face as he tells him what he did. "My Spiritual Pressure far surpasses anything you could throw at me. Besides, I expected a sneak attack from you sooner or later so I prepared myself before then."
"WHY DON'T YOU JUST DIE ALREADY!" Dark Leader Dragon explodes in roars charging towards Aizen again who smirks swinging his sword forward. They clash blades once more, and Aizen expects he would overpower the Dark Lord once more with Kyoka Suigetsu… that was until the Darkness Scythe is able to push Aizen aside.
"I will never understand why Kyoka Suigetsu can't affect you?" Aizen replies as he distant himself from Dark Leader Dragon. If there was one thing that even the man who lied, betrayed, and fooled the entire Soul Society couldn't understand, was the fact that when he and Dark Leader Dragon first clashed, his Zanpakuto's ability of Complete Hypnosis had no effect on him. The power to control the five senses on any being, and yet it had no effect on a dragon with anger issues. That made the Dark Lord to smile back at the fool. He was told of Aizen's Complete Hypnosis and how dangerous it would be to be catch in its illusion, but he is immune by it because of his powers of Darkness that he possesses, shrouding him of such trickery of the five senses. And there's another reason
"My power overlaps anything you do to me! FOR I AM EVIL!" Dark Leader Dragon shouts proudly and evilly with another menacing laugh. This left the rest of the Dark Lord's army and Aizen and his generals all staring at him with stunned expressions. Aizen can never understand why he's insane; was it because of power or was he born as such?
"Evil has no bonus for such ability." Aizen informs him with an unsure expression over his face. Dark Leader Dragon then becomes furious again by that insult as he swings both his claw feet at him.
The double kick sends Aizen back, which gives the time for the Dark Lord and his two other heads to gather all the power they had. Aizen quickly regains control as he sees that the Dark Lord is powering up his attack.
"Burst and destroy all Hope! EVIL COMET DARK DESTRUCTION BURST!" Dark Leader Dragon roars and unleashes one of his strongest attacks, the destructive flaming comet attack of destruction, coursing its way towards Aizen. Yami Bakura laughs a little, knowing there are a few attacks that could block the Dark Lord's strongest attack. However…
"Hehehe, simple move." Aizen declares, still smiling softly.
"Bakudo #81: Danku.'' Without raising his arms, Aizen chants as within an instant a see-through large, wall-like barrier of a rectangular shape appears and intercepts the Dark Lord's attack. The destructive dark comet tries pushing through the barrier but no luck. Dark Leader Dragon roars pushing more energy into his attack until it finally explodes in a massive blast that can be felt even by the normal humans. Sadly Aizen's barrier withstood all that with the Shinigami still unscratched and smirking softly.
''DAMN YOU AIZEN!'' Dark Leader Dragon roars furious and frustrated, not believing none of his attacks are working on him. And what annoys him more are Aizen's spells. Mere cheap knockoffs compare to the true power of magic he has witness, especially from one who could kill gods with a single spell that can cause a second Ice Age.
"Damn you and your stupid spells! Those aren't even spells!" Dark Leader Dragon rants angrily as he pointed his claw at Aizen. The Shinigami sighs at the Dark Lord's idiotic mind. Intelligent, but naïve by his anger. Aizen explains with small words, still smiling. "They're Demon Arts, nonbeliever."
"Nonbeliever? THAT'S IT! HERE'S A REAL SPELL!" Dark Leader Dragon yells furiously as he holds up his right hand. The sky begins getting darker than usual as dark clouds also began to swirl around the Dark Lord.
"Chosen shadows! Become the source of darkness! Everlasting hatred, become the evil of all darkness and turn this world into ashes!" The Dark Lord begins chanting as his entire body is engulfed by dark energy. The clouds continue to swirl like a tornado as dark lightning also begins forming. Everyone watches as and could feel the pressure of this sudden sensation of power while Aizen just smiles very confident.
"Burn! Obliterate! DESTROY! Become the end of all life and the beginning of all ends! TRUE DARKNESS!" The Dark Lord continues chanting as a small orb of darkness forms in his right palm. It then grows and expands into a large energy sphere of darkness. Aizen continues to smile, knowing all well that attack was the Dark Lord's most dangerous attack.
"DIE AIZEN! DARKNESS ERASER!" Dark Leader Dragon roars as he waves his hand that hold the attack and he throws it at the opponent. The sphere of Darkness suddenly expands now ten times larger than before. Everyone, minus Aizen, is speechless by the destructive size of such of an attack. It was too powerful to even try to block it, and too big to dodge it. It seemed the Dark Lord won… however…
"… Heh." Aizen grins as he unsheathed his Zanpakuto back into its sheath and holds up his right hand up. He declares, still grinning, as a black/purple spiritual energy form around his hand. "Even with only 45%, I will chant my own attack... even if it will hurt me."
Now Gin begins to grin again, knowing what Aizen will do now. Aizen flash steps exactly miles away from where he stood, so he could still see the Dark Lord's attack still coming at him. Aizen begins to chant as the Dark Lord's attack comes closer to him. "Seeping crest of turbidity. Arrogant vessel of lunacy! Boil forth and deny! Grow numb and flicker! Disrupt sleep! Crawling queen of iron! Eternally self-destructing doll of mud! Unite! Repulse! Fill with soil and know your own powerlessness!"
Dark Leader Dragon panics what Aizen will try and yet he refuses to let him get the upper-hand. He washes his right hand with more energy to his Darkness Eraser, giving it more power and speed as it comes even closer to Aizen. However, it was too late, as Aizen announces his spell as he lifts up his right hand, and his Spiritual Pressure erupts. "Kido #90: Kurohitsugi!"
Then a black, purple outline torrent of gravity, taking the shape of a box of black/purple energy surrounds the Darkness Eraser into it for two seconds. Before anyone could even understand anything, the black box disappears, and the Darkness Eraser dispersed into a gigantic explosion before it could even hit Aizen. The explosion is huge and unbelievable that it actually torn through the oxygen of the entire area into nothing for a few moments while shattering any mirrors and shaking buildings, even destroying those around the attack. The air left, and so did the clouds and the sky turn back into a normal night.
Both Dark Lord and Shinigami stand on their positions, perfectly calm and silent, staring at the other. "…"
At the cost of suffering some damage on his right hand by his Kido's overwhelming power, Aizen is quite fine. He knows better than to use such spell even if he would perform it. On the other hand, Dark Leader Dragon also lost a large amount of his remaining strength from gathering the energy required to use the Darkness Eraser.
"Unbelievable." Vlad utters gulping halfway through his voice as he floats away a bit. Everyone else is like that, except Yami Bakura smirking and Dark General Knight gazing. Amon sweats as he had a fix eye on the two villains. He has faced Yubel and knew of the might of the Supreme King, but those two were beyond their levels, maybe more than Exodia himself. He could tell that those two are true demons.
After a few moments, Aizen cracks a small smirk and starts clapping. Dark Leader Dragon grits his teeth as Aizen calms down and says. "That was fun, Akumu-kun. Most enjoyable warm-up."
Dark Leader Dragon widens his eyes a bit and growls intensely at the man's sense of humor.
"Darn you, Aizen. You got lucky." The Dark Lord growls at the fact that Aizen was enjoying this fight, but he wanted to kill him so badly. It has always ended like this, and Aizen just enjoying the clash. Aizen lets out a chuckle as he states with smiling expression. "It wasn't luck; it was my intelligence and my power which was stronger than yours."
Dark Leader Dragon twitches his left eye in rage once more and decides to continue fighting, until he realized it would have been pointless to continue. Even more if Yugi sensed their presences. Instead, the evil dragon calms down as his two heads went back inside of his body. The Dark Lord vanish his Darkness Scythe as he takes a breath in and out and asks him. "… What do you want to talk to me about?"
Aizen smirks as he was a little glad that the angry dragon was acting more… humanoid than monstrous. He sheaths back his Zanpakuto and says. "About time we can talk."
The two descend on top of the tower, staring at each other.
"So…" Dark Leader Dragon begins to say as he was surrounded in dark aura and emerged from it in his human form as Akumu Momomiya, adjusting his tie and suit. "Speak. I'm all ears."
"Yes, this form of yours will do to have a reasonable talk, Akumu-kun." Aizen proclaims smirking. Akumu frowns crossing his arms, glaring at him as he lean back on the rail of the tower's edge. "…"
Aizen smirks as he observes with his right eye that Gin, Tosen and Dark General Knight join them. Aizen has been thinking about this idea for quite some time, and it was a good time to share his idea with his ''rival''. He then declares his idea. "I am purposing… an alliance."
Akumu raises an eyebrow and repeats those same words. "An alliance?"
Dark General Knight is quite surprised by that, as well as Gin and Tosen who weren't aware of what Aizen was thinking since his ''defeat'' by the Dragon Knight.
"Huh? Why change your own current strategies of defeating anyone?" Akumu questions Aizen's proposal, sounding so not like the way Sosuke Aizen would do it. It seem… too much like a trap, but he wanted to wait for Aizen's respond before he could determine if it was.
"Simple… Yugi-kun is quite more powerful than I expected him to be. More than I could expect and you know it." Aizen replies, thinking back at how he assume he wouldn't worry about any more challenges minus Ichigo Kurosaki, until Yugi came to be and proved to be a handful now.
"…" Akumu remains silent, trying to examine any sign that Aizen is lying or tricking him. So far, he's being truthful. He also had to expect that Yugi has become much more powerful, now even more with the Dragon Blade. For some weird reason, it was like this was all Sackertin Muto's idea to screw with them, using his son as the key to stop them… and it might work if the boy grows stronger through that.
"So if I can't handle him at this time, then you can't either." Aizen continues explaining, and Akumu believed it to be true. There was no chance he could handle Yugi, even now that the knight now possess the power to fight the Dragon Blade. And counting his niece helping the brat and his friends, from that Jinchuuriki, Substitute Shinigami, the Supreme King time-traveler, the alchemist, the ghost boy, the blue hedgehog, the Ultimate Lifeform hedgehog, the billionaire, the Valkyria, and his pesty friends… it seems impossible even if he fights with his allies. Not to mention who else the Dragon Knight might get as allies. He needed to stop this madness, and the key might be Aizen and his Espada Army.
"So what do you think? Alliance?" Aizen suggests as he holds up his right hand to Akumu, showing a sign of good gesture and trust. Akumu just glare at him, still unsure… but…
"No.'' Aizen raise an eyebrow at Akumu's answer. Akumu may be one willing to work with any villain that pleases him and know how to play and work fairly with no backstabbing, but much like Orochimaru; Aizen is not to be trusted.
"There's a difference between you and I Aizen.'' Akumu begins saying with a gaze, thinking back how he assembled his current group of villains and the promises and respect he has given them, something Aizen doesn't have.
"I value my men. Dark Oak is someone that can't be replaced: An ally.'' Akumu declares firmly. Aizen just smirks shaking his head at the Dark Lord's twisted sense of ''allies'' and ''value'' compare to the strong.
''That may true but allies like him still are pawns and pawns need the strong. There is no-'' Aizen informs the Dark Lord calmly only to be interrupted by Akumu very mad. "Yes, there is a difference and that is why I hate you even more!''
Akumu walks up to Aizen, face-to-face, and tells him coldly. ''And that will never change.''
Aizen eyes him still smiling softly though he does feel… bad, for he wanted this alliance. That way the two of them, the strongest, can have no one oppose them.
Akumu, however, refuses to acknowledge the man in front of him and instead threatens him darkly. ''Cross my path again and I'll kill you for real.''
The Dark Lord turns his back walking away but Aizen, still cracking a smirk, tells him sighing. ''Stubborn as always, Akumu-kun. Have it your way. This doesn't change we'll be the only game here.''
''… For now.'' Akumu mutters to himself vowing he will put an end to that man once and for all… and then Yugi will follow. But first he will find out who killed Dark Oak and avenge his fallen friend.
Even villains of similar goals can never join forces but will that remain forever? Only time will tell.
To be continued…

Thank you for another great episode. I thank those who are helping me get this story notice and enjoy it. For those who love it, please review my story and give me your opinions or thoughts to it.
Next Time…
Once again meeting each other not since that year ago, Ichigo and Usagi embrace like cousins happily to meet each other again however the cat girl would not be prepared with the appearance of the smaller girl that resembles Usagi in some parts. On top of that, a possible enemy appears and demands for something that is confusing even for Yugi. In this moment, both cousins reveal their secrets but one of which they both knew of. Can they defeat this enemy?
Yugi: You sure you want me there? I mean this is a family thing-
Ichigo: I AM SUPER CERTAIN NYA! Please Yugi-kun, I really want you to meet Usagi-chan and get to like her.
Yugi just smiles: Alright, I'll come though the others?
Ichigo: Oh don't worry about them. They'll have a blast to where I'm sending them. Besides, what's the worst that could possibly happen- Nya?
Yugi sweat drops: A lot now. Next time in Yu-Gi-Oh! Dragon Knight Reborn: The Ties of the Magical Girl Cousins!
Ichigo giggles: Please remember to read, enjoy and review Nya! See you all next time!
Author's Note: New Arc… I'll be honest, this is a better arc to me more so than Valkyria Chronicles one. Well no, all arcs have great parts but I guess the bad part of that arc was how slow I had to do it. I had to, it was that or made it shorter and that wouldn't make any character growth or connections especially with Alicia. AND YES, Alicia is getting more screen time regardless.
Also, yes, I had to include the whole fight scene between Dark Lord and ''Evil Superman'' Shinigami. I wanted to make it clear these two, mostly Akumu, doesn't like Aizen. Who can blame him?
I want to apologize for how long I had to set up this chapter, stuff happened with my grandmom and another bad interview that I lost all the strength to even do this... sigh... anyway, next week new chapter so hope you guys enjoy it too.
