(OPENING 4: Alones by Aqua Timez from Bleach)
Volume 5: Episode 65: The Storm's Fury! A Failure's Defeat.
In the previous episode of DKR:
While training to improve her control on the Inner Scorpion and learning about the Inner Demons, Erika and the Inner Scorpion both felt a familiar power of their own. Erika questioned if that could be another but the Inner Scorpion doesn't confirm it, worried that it was the Inner Tiger.
Others began to feel this tense fury, even Yugi, while Aizen and Evangeline with Arkham on their own hidden locations watch with such interest as Ichigo transformed into her Inner Tiger form to Kojan's shock. Now sadist and cruel yet a wild beast with no mind or reason but to hunt, Mew Ichigo proceeded in beating down Kojan with insane speed and power. Not even Kojan can block or counter this beastly power.
However, after feeling that Itachi's life is fading away, Kojan entered his own Burst Limit, Dragon Ryujin. With his full power, he easily crushed Ichigo regardless of any of his attempts. Mew Ichigo felt defeated as Kojan left to go save Itachi.
Yugi and the rest of the group caught up to everyone else where Judai, upon seeing Tobi, remembered him and Yugi confirmed this man is filled with darkness. After Zetsu arrived to confirm Sasuke ''killed'' Itachi, Tobi changed his tune and revealed his much darker self before they vanished after he told Yugi the likelihood that Kojan killed Ichigo. Worried for her, Yugi dashed away in Dragon Blade mode, hoping to reach her before it was too late.
Will Yugi make it? What will happen next?
And now the conclusion... last left off in the previous episode:
The group watches dumbfounded by whoever that weird orange masked man was and his powers but also that Yugi just went Burst Limit and leaped away rapidly. It kinda worries him mostly as Yugi isn't that jumpy unless it's about someone he cares for.
''Where is Yugi heading out towards?'' Danny asks out loud, checking who's missing and realizes who it was. Haruto did too as he activates his Wizardriver
''DRIVER ON, PLEASE!'' The Wizardriver announces, transforming fully as it chants. ''SHABADOOBIE, TOUCH TO HENSHIN!''
''I'm about to find out.'' Haruto declares holding up the Hurricane Dragon Ring. He then shouts, sliding his left hand over his belt. ''Henshin!''
''HURRICANE DRAGON!'' The Wizardriver declares as Haruto raises his hand up as a green magical circle manifests over him. Wind starts lifting up as he's literally flying into the circle. ''BYU-BYU, BYU-BYU-BYU-BYU!"
He goes through the circle and transforms into Wizard Hurricane Dragon form. He prepares to fly off until Kakashi suddenly leaps and grabs on his shoulder.
''Woah hey-'' Wizard begins to protest about having a passenger but the copy ninja insists on him. ''I need to confirm something. Take me.''
After what that masked man said about Kojan, Kakashi began to remember someone he met and attacked him; another Uchiha. Could this Kojan be this other Uchiha? If so, Yugi will not win.
''… Not going to object.'' Wizard proclaims, able to tell he's serious about this. He flies off as Kurosaki then shouts, leaping up. ''I'm coming too!''
Shadow scoffs as he runs after them as does Sonic.
''Guess we should like… eh…'' Jonouchi tries, uttering out but not sure. Naruto, however, does as he leaps away to Yamato's concern and chases after him.
''Naruto!'' Sakura shouts, chasing after him with Hinata worrying for him. The other ninjas follow in hot pursuit.
''We follow too!'' Judai proclaims as Jonouchi sighs of relief and agrees. Kaiba can't help but scoff angrily, wishing he would follow the other damn group.
Dashing with insane quickness as rain pours down, Yugi leaps through the forest not stopping in the slightest. He can't stop as he reaches an area; destroying everything as it is now a wasteland. He looks around him, speechless at what just happened here… and there he spots Ichigo's body resting over a partly destroyed tree, its top protecting her from the rain drops.
Yugi breathes nervously, his heart pounding as he rushes towards her. He arrives a second in and holds her, feeling her aura and body heat. He can feel her warm and her soul; Ichigo is okay!
''Thank goodness…'' The tricolor head expresses relief, smiling slightly. Just then he feels stirs as he looks down to see Ichigo waking up, purring softly.
"Ichigo-kun!'' Yugi begins to express joyfully while Ichigo mutters tired and confused. ''Y-Yugi-kun?''
Yugi smiles more, hugging her slightly of joy before he says, believing Kojan would not kill Ichigo. ''I knew he lied about Kojan-kun killing you.''
Ichigo blinks, struggling to remember what happened but she heard Kojan talking about something and then she blacked out.
''He was… in a hurry. He looked… sad.'' The red cherry head begins to tell him, remembering the face Kojan made before her vision gave out. She can tell he's suffering and someone should check up on him.
''Go… over there… quickly, Nya.'' She tells him, trying to lift herself up but can't yet. ''I'll be… fine…''
Yugi hesitates to do this but he forms a Dragon Clone. The real Yugi prepares to leave until Ichigo tells him, still sounding weak. ''… Sorry. I failed you again Nya.''
''… You never fail me. Ever.'' Yugi, however, protests as well as thankful that she's there where he can't reach other places. Ichigo can do everything he can't and that's why he has such trust in her. He frowns, wishing he didn't fail her instead, again.
Breathing, Ichigo utters out with a concerned face. ''C-careful… Kojan is stronger Nya…''
''… Thank you, my Strawberry Kitten.'' Yugi says before he vanishes, dashing with fast speed.
Alone with his Dragon Clone, Ichigo frowns slightly at how much of a failure she is. She couldn't even slow Kojan down before he arrived.
''I lost…'' The red cherry head admits, saddened by her defeat and yet it doesn't depress her, at all. ''So why do I not feel any dread.''
In fact, she doesn't even remember what happened after Kojan's Dragonaun Raigeki hit her. It is all strange to her. Unaware that her soft brown eyes briefly turn slitted pink eyes, almost beastly and sadist before reverted back.
Still watching undetected, Aizen finds what he learns and he can't help but smirk. Now he has the means to abuse his plans as he vanishes.
Arkham is silent by what has just happened. What he witnessed is otherworldly. How could a young girl like her possess such a twisted personality nonetheless power that can destroy countries? But it's astonishing, more than he imagined. If this is her in that uncontrolled state, then if she can control it; the world would be destroyed… if she does try it.
''That went quite well. To think the Dark Lord knew of her power.'' Arkham questions, amazed Akumu would not turn his niece to be evil sooner than later.
Evangeline hums silently, still very pleased with the results… though she does realize why Akumu never attempted to draw out this power; he cares too much for his niece. Not only that; Ichigo cannot control this power. It would be like giving a child a pistol, they would use it wildly.
''Maybe, maybe not.'' Evangeline just says, being able to tell this will be more difficult than she expected.
''Shall we capture her?'' Arkham then suggests to her, thinking this is the perfect time with the real Yugi away. However, Evangeline simply tells him. ''No.''
This surprised the masked villain, turning to face her. Why would she not want to have such an easy, manipulating child in her possession?
However, Evangeline does want her but not as a mere toy. She's seen how lacking Ichigo was as her obedient vampire thrall and as much as a thrall is incredibly strong for her; having someone of her power on her side is just as important if not greater. Not to mention, sooner or later, Ichigo will realize the dangers of her power and she cannot afford to lose control or else those she loves will perish.
Evangeline grins, already thinking of her approach with her and she knows it will work without any issues.
''I will give Ichigo a choice.'' Evangeline begins to proclaim calmly to Arkham's curiosity ''And she will seek me to control her power. But leave her alone so she can get used to what she has in her. Or learn what she has in her.''
Evangeline giggles rather eagerly, willingly to wait for that day to come so she can make her approach and draw her closer to her.
''I have all the time in the world.'' She utters out, relaxing on the throne chair.
Arkham stares at her and can't help but smirk underneath his mask, truly amazed by her twisted yet intelligent nature. Evangeline is someone truly interesting like he expected. No wonder the Dark Lord respects her.
Akumu, standing on the ground, paces around impatiently. Dark General Knight is on his side, following him, while keeping his eye on Ulquiorra and Gin in the air. They've been waiting for Aizen while they felt that massive pressure of likely an Inner Demon awakening… and one they feared for a long while.
''My lord, that energy we sensed...'' Dark General Knight begins proclaiming out of worry but Akumu silences him with a gaze, soon telling him. ''None of our concern right now.''
He wants to be worried for Ichigo but right now… he has to deal with that man. Akumu turns to his side and declares with a scowl. ''What took you so long?''
Ulquiorra hears that and looks down, not seeing or sensing anyone. Who is he-
Suddenly, almost appearing out of thin air, Aizen reveals himself by removing his black cloak. Ulquiorra widens his eyes, astonished his master was hidden so well but also that the Dark Lord felt him. Gin just hums with a smirk, not at all surprised.
''My apologies, I was finishing other matters.'' Aizen explains to the Dark Lord, smirking calmly. Akumu glares, eyeing the cloak as he then asks him the obvious question. ''What do you want? I'm busy today.''
Aizen just smiles, admitting he is busy but this matter requires his attention.
''I will become God soon.'' Aizen declares to Akumu who raises an eyebrow. God? How? Is it that Hoygoku? Must be.
''And I want us to join forces. We both know you and I together-'' Aizen then offers him a chance for the two of them to work together and eliminate their enemies but Akumu doesn't bother letting him finish his words, declining it. ''… Shove it.''
Aizen just chuckles softly, not surprised by his response as he says. ''Well, I tried.''
Akumu glares as he turns his head to see Aizen now behind him.
''Then remember not to cross my way.'' Aizen warns the Dark Lord, smirking rather overconfident. Akumu simply looks back at him with such disdain, not even bothered by the threat.
Aizen then turns his head forward, seemingly about to leave with a step forward only to appear in front of Akumu.
''Oh, and Akumu-kun.'' Aizen begins to say, almost forgetting one important detail. ''Don't get mad if I go after the Dragon Knight and his comrades. After all…''
Akumu widens his eyes furiously as Aizen is right beside his ear, whispering to him. ''You're quite touchy about your possessions.''
''…'' The Dark Lord doesn't say a word, his expression furious as he's trying to contain his fury. Aizen just smirks as he lifts up and starts walking on thin air towards his ''allies''.
''That went well huh Captain?'' Gin comments with a sly smirk, thinking that the Dark Lord was going to kill him. Aizen just smirks at Gin's remark as he orders towards his fateful Arrancar. ''Let us go now, Ulquiorra-kun.''
''As you command, Aizen-sama.'' Ulquiorra proclaims, raising his hand to the side and rips open a Garganta. The three walk in with Aizen entering first. Soon the portal closes up shut, leaving the Dark Lord with his general alone.
Growling at Aizen's nonsense, Akumu just tells his general. ''… Let's go, my general.''
Dark General Knight obeys, also concerned what they felt but also what Aizen is plotting now. The two vanish right on the spot.
Kojan flies off in such speed to the Uchiha Hideout still in his Burst Limit form, able to see that the hideout is actually destroyed. He groans, worrying for Itachi as he can't feel him.
''Don't die.'' Kojan's words echo in his mind, becoming worrying and afraid for his well being. He grits his teeth, yelling louder.''Don't you dare DIE! YOU PROMISED NII-SAN!''
Time seemingly froze as Kojan began thinking of the past… and one of the happiest moments in his time as a kid.
Alone in the woods of Konoha, Kid Kojan stood between multiple trees in a tiny open space. He breathed deeply, recalling how his brother did this training and he wanted to try it. Pulling out multiple Shurikens, Kojan began tossing them, spreading around him. He then pulled out a few Kunais and threw them in such an angle as they hit nearly every Shuriken, redirecting them to hit a tree branch in an opposite direction… except for two.
Still Kojan just grinned happily, always finding Shuriken training like a video game to get a better score each time. He was getting better, last time missing 4. In this rate, he'll-
''You know, ninjas don't smile about stuff like training.'' Kojan staggered back, turning to see Shisui walking out from behind a tree. Blushing at his brother's statement, Kid Kojan called him off. ''Some would!''
''Maybe.'' Shisui replied with a small smile, walking up and patting his head. Kid Kojan blushed as the two walked together back to the Uchiha homes at the outskirts of the village. Kojan never understood why they had to leave their former house to live here but he's happy just being with his brother. He is the best he knew and wished he could become more like him.
Thinking about it for a long time, Kojan made a decision as he told his older brother. ''Nii-san, I think I could be an awesome ninja. Just like you!''
Shisui looked at him and just smiled as he told him honestly. ''You deserve a better life than to be like me.''
Kojan groaned, always hearing this same response from his brother. Not long ago, Shisui pulled Kojan out of school because of strange reasons and he was so excited because he would get the chance to become a Genin.
''But you're awesome, Onii-san! People say you vanish like a ghost, always hitting your targets.'' Kojan told him off, hearing stories of the Body Flicker Shisui and possessing the strongest Sharingan eyes. Kojan admired his brother greatly, thinking there is no one who can surpass anyone.
Shisui looked at his younger brother and smiled, admitting to him kindly. ''I think Itachi is better in that than me.''
He then stopped and kneeled down to Kojan, telling him as his hand was over his small shoulder. ''And you'll end up better than both me and Itachi. But not as a ninja.''
Kojan frowned at that, asking him upsetly. ''How come, Nii-san!''
Shisui stared at him as he simply told him with a confident smile. ''Because you will become someone greater than any Uchiha.''
Kid Kojan still frowned, not getting it. How can he become greater than his own brother and not be a ninja too? He doesn't want to become a farmer or whatnot.
The two didn't say much as they would come across Itachi, seeing them carrying the practice ninja tools.
''Training too?'' Itachi asked them with Shisui smiling as he replied. ''Not as much as you, Itachi.''
Itachi smiled back as he eyes Kojan's frowning face and asked him. ''What is with the long face, Kojan?''
Ever since probably forever, Itachi and Shisui had been good friends, almost like brothers. Kojan thought he was pretty cool too though not as cool as his brother. Still, he can count on Itachi to talk things out too.
''Bored. Going to study outside of the village.'' Kojan said saddened, wanting to be a ninja and not go somewhere just because his brother told him too. He puffed his cheeks, admitting upset. ''Just want to be a ninja like Nii-san and he doesn't think so.''
Shisui sighed with a small smile. Itachi also smiled back, recalling how not long ago Sasuke was the same and he had begun going to the academy to be a ninja too.
''You're just like my brother.'' Itachi openly admitted. He turned his head, not showing his concerned face as he proclaims. ''There's a life better than being a ninja. And more for you because your possibilities are limitless.''
Kid Kojan blinked, really puzzled by the last part as he mutters it out. ''Limitless?''
Itachi turned to face him and nodded, explaining it. ''You can become anything you want and always have a choice to change that path and be something else.''
Itachi eyed Shisui who smiled and he then said, strongly. ''And whatever you become, it will outshine both I and Shisui. Remember it.''
Kid Kojan stared at him with such amazement. SO he can become anyone, making him smile as he said happily. ''R-Right!''
Shisui smiled, happy to hear it.
''I'm happy Nii-san has an awesome friend!'' Kojan expressed, smiling that his brother has Itachi as such an amazing friend. Itachi couldn't help but wonder if he was such a friend but Shisui felt the same as Kojan, patting Itachi's back as he said. ''Itachi always has my back and I have his. That's why we're more than friends, we're brothers.''
Itachi tried to not blush, happy he thought of their friendship like that.
''Hey, join us for something to eat.'' Shisui asked Itachi who accepted. Kid Kojan snickered as he declared. ''Awesome! Tell me what you two do in missions.''
Both older Uchiha sweat dropped, how quickly Kojan forgets and gets back to the idea of being a ninja. The three went together to grab something to eat while Kojan smiled happily.
Unaware of Kojan during that time… this would be the last time he would feel happy in Konoha.
Arriving at the rubber of the Uchiha Hideout, Kojan appears almost like a flash of lightning. The rain pours louder around him as the Uchiha widens his eyes, staring upon the destroyed field but also towards up ahead. There, he sees Itachi's body wrapped in the coils of Zetsu and Sasuke's unconscious body being carried by the shoulder by-
"You…'' Kojan, with a gaze filled with hate and fury, utters out with such hatred as the figure carrying Sasuke turns around and it's revealed to be the masked man. Obito looks back and his eyes narrow, almost humorous, wondering where he was.
''Yo. It's been a long time…'' The masked man begins to say, almost taunting him as his Sharingan eye glows through his mask's eyehole. ''Kojan.''
Kojan begins breathing angrily, his Sharingan eyes glowing so furious that it auto-triggers the Mangekyou.
''My, you've grown.'' He proclaims as Kojan suddenly dashes with insane lightning speed and slashes through him with his Dragon Ryujin katanas… only to go right through the masked man. Kojan widens his eyes in shock, thinking his speed could have slash him instantly but instead he growls madly, recalling the first time he confronted this bastard.
Kojan continues swinging viciously across the masked man over and over with insane speed, slashing per second but none of his slashes connected as Obito leaps back, chuckling.
''And you're stronger too.'' He then says, almost taunting him. Kojan snaps as he holds up his right katana sword and begins shouting. ''DRAGONAUN-''
Suddenly the masked man raises his fire hand forward and tells him, not interested to fight him. ''Another time though. I have other concerns to discuss with Sasuke.''
Kojan widens his eyes with such fury and shouts out angrily, losing his temper unlike all the other times. "LIKE HELL! I WON'T LET YOU GET AWAY WITH ANY MORE-''
Snickering at his enraging words, the masked man interrupts almost amused. ''I wonder how she'll feel if she saw you acting like this.''
Kojan pauses with widened eyes, gritting his teeth tightly.
''Ironic, no? She died without first seeing you become the Uchiha you are now.'' The masked man says as his Sharingan eye squints slightly to show his humor. "It hurts no? It's Hell what you feel."
This causes Kojan to have such a paralyzed stare, causing Kojan to breathe angrily. His hands grip on his Katana swords so tightly that his palms were bleeding out of his own rage. His thought on the girl who died in front of him, in his arm, smiling as she said something that he can't remember is because the world around him froze.
''Because of you… Because of you…'' Uttering out softly at first, Kojan can't hold it in and loses it in screams. ''EVEN ITACHI DIED!''
Obito just stands there silently; pausing… thinking of Rin but soon chuckles, realizing that is reality's cruel joke to him.
''That was Sasuke who-'' He begins correcting him that Sasuke was the one who ''killed'' Itachi but Kojan shouts out in protest. ''I DON'T GIVE A DAMN!''
His Susanoo begins to manifest as Kojan shouts in complete fury. ''I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU, MADARA!''
Raising his right sword upward as his Susanoo manifests a Chakra Katana weapon, Kojan starts shouting. ''DRAGONAUN-''
''KOJAN-KUN!'' Kojan staggers back, turning his head as he hears Yugi's voice.
''And that's my cue.'' Obito proclaims as he waves his hand towards Kojan. ''Later, Kojan.''
Kojan turns back angrily; about to attack him but the masked man tells him calmly. ''Oh, and I'm glad you accepted her death.''
His eye squints humorous as he offers him. ''If you wish to help me so you can see her again, don't hesitate.''
''… F**K YOU!'' Kojan shouts in protest, charging at him. The mask man snickers before he starts vanishing into swirls centering in his eyehole, disappearing along with Sasuke.
Alone as he stops in his tracks, Kojan stands there with a terrified expression as his Susanoo disappears. He stands there silently, his face grim and stunned out of sadness and despair.
''…'' Silent, Kojan drops onto his knees. Again, he feels as powerless as he was… when he gripped on the dead body of Keiko.
Clenching onto his katanas tightly, Kojan starts uttering out, becoming more furious by each pause. ''No. No! No! NO!''
Appearing with such speed, Yugi arrives as he breathes heavily. He watches as Kojan is slamming his fists over and over across the wet ground, a mix of water and his blood as he punches with such fury and desperation. ''NO-NO-NO-NO!''
''Kojan-kun…'' Yugi utters out speechless, his eyes widened to see him act like this. It was so unlike him and he starts becoming concerned, realizing why he's the way he is. He frowns, taking a step towards him as Kojan utters out defeated. ''I wanted… to save him.''
Yugi looks at him as Kojan pulls himself up, muttering out. ''To learn where my brother's body is… to say goodbye to him. I didn't want to lose anyone else anymore…''
''… Keiko-chan… She's dead, isn't she?'' Yugi suddenly questions him with a look of depression. Kojan just stands there silent but his Sharingan eyes glow furiously.
''… You don't stop trying to involve yourself in my life, do you?'' Kojan finally replies back, turning to gaze at him. Yugi still frowns, telling him honestly. ''Because we're friends.''
''… I'm a real bad mood now.'' Not acknowledging his words, Kojan begins proclaiming coldly yet mad. ''And I gave you a chance to walk away from all of this. That's why…''
Lifting his right handed katana forward towards Yugi, Kojan declares seriously. ''I challenge you to Knight's Combat, Yugi!''
Yugi looks at him with a puzzled yet concerned face, not understanding what Kojan just challenged him into.
What is this Knight's Combat and how will things end for the two?
Commercial Break:
Yugi: Kojan-kun, why are you doing this?
Kojan: Because reality is cruel and only those with power can change it! And that is me!
Still running to where Wizard and Kakashi were heading, Naruto is in deep thought… praying that Sasuke is-
However he then feels a hand touch his shoulder, causing the spiky blond headed to stop on his tracks. He turns around but sees no one… yet… that hand felt familiar.
''…'' Naruto stares silently as he looks up, seeing the dark skies but a single shine of light through the dark clouds. His thoughts are changed… thinking of Ero-Sennin. He wonders how Jiraiya was doing, hoping to see him soon and maybe… they can eat popsicles again.
Snapping out, Naruto resumes running forward, however, unaware of the events that follow with Jiraiya the Gallant.
The two Dragon Knights stare at the other as the rain still pours down above them. Kojan is so angry while Yugi has a clueless expression. Though, the Uchiha feels off but ignores this physical pain. Instead, he begins using his power to maintain his composure and ease the pain across his gut.
"Knight's Combat?'' Yugi utters out, puzzled. Scoffing with a calmer voice, Kojan explains himself. ''I challenge you for the right of the loser's sword and their life.''
That gets Atem's attention as well as Yin-Yang Dragon, glaring angrily from their cages.
''Come again?'' Yugi, with a stun expression, questions him. He really doesn't follow any of this, finding it hard to believe.
''There can only be one true Dragon Knight.'' Kojan declares, learning from the teachings of his master and becoming greater than all even at the price of killing anyone standing in one's path. He also says, clenching his grip as he vows angrily. ''And by having the real Dragon Sword, I will have the power to kill him, Madara.''
''Madara?'' Yugi mutters, never hearing that name before… though, could that orange masked man be this Madara person?
Kojan becomes angrier, shaking his hands tightly and proclaims furiously. ''I will kill Madara for what he has done to me. For Shisui, for Itachi… for Keiko…''
Yugi doesn't need to ask more, able to feel his aura tainted with such hate and pitch darkness. He can't let him go that far or else he'll never come back.
''Kojan-kun, listen to reason. Hatred-'' Yugi tries reasoning with him to not walk down this path but Kojan protests with a glare. ''Hatred is my fuel. Avenging them is my redemption. That is the only reason I live! I am not like Kaiba or anyone you've met who's fuel with hate.''
His Sharingan eyes evolve into Mangekyou, glowing menacingly as he declares coldly. ''Hatred and despair make an Uchiha invincible and that includes me! Now surrender by dropping your weapon and you won't die.''
Yugi stares with a small scowl, never seeing Kojan like this before. Still, he can't do that as he holds the grip on his Dragon Blade. He looks at it and soon answers him honestly. ''I can't. I promise those I use this sword to use it to protect our world. I will not drop it.''
''… You really are a fool.'' Kojan replies coldly as he vanishes. Yugi staggers and vanishes too.
Everything seems quiet only to suddenly explosions of water erupts on one spot and then another and then another. To the naked eye, the two Dragon Knights are parrying and blocking their swords, causing the impact of an explosion of the rain around them. They dash around with insane speed and soon the two knights clash blades in the sky, parrying and reflecting the other's sword swings once more. They even mix in kicks and punches in their swings but each kick counters the other fiercely.
Their blades clash as the two tries slashing down the other with precise swings but Yugi is much more defensive, blocking or redirecting Kojan's swings. Yugi then tries to counter slash only for Kojan's Mangekyou ability to redirect the swing away from him or missing. Yugi staggers concerned, meaning his attacks are useless up front.
Descending as he can't remain up high, Yugi breathes as Kojan flies down at him, swinging his katanas aggressively but Yugi blocks each slash with his blade but then Kojan swings both and the impact of both thrusts Yugi, slamming on the ground hard, literally breaking the ground from the impact.
Yugi gazes at him mad, blood dripping from his mouth. His red dragon eyes stare at Kojan's Mangekyou Sharingan eyes who stare back.
Kojan suddenly dashes as Yugi twirls around and swings his blade, deflecting Kojan's swings and then kicks his twirling leg backwards, launching himself back to regroup only to suddenly gasps blood from his mouth by Kojan, appearing behind, dashing through him and cuts through half of his stomach, revealing his flesh and apart from his waist. Yugi grits his bleeding teeth as he stops in his tracks only for Kojan to thrust his blade right through him… and hits the air.
The Uchiha staggers, turning to the side to see Yugi there and his open stomach starts to regenerate instantly. Kojan scoffs, recalling Yugi has that two-headed dragon.
''You have that Yin-Yang Dragon…'' Kojan proclaims firmly, fully aware that power will be annoying. However, he smirks as he mocks it as his evolved Sharingan eyes glow. ''But that power is both pathetic and doesn't even compare to the power of the Sharingan and their everlasting evolution!''
Yugi turns, annoyed as his stomach is fully healed and attached back to his waist.
''PATHETIC HUH!'' Yin Dragon roars furiously at that comment. Even Yang Dragon is mocked by those words, advising Yugi determinedly. ''Show him our power, Yugi-san!''
Yugi glares, hesitant to go through with it… but he has to fight. He grips on his Dragon Blade with both hands, posing as he points his blade in a small crotch battle pose. Kojan watches and scoffs, twirling his katanas before vanishing like light.
The young Dragon Knight widens his eyes and moves to the right and left, dodging Kojan's first unseen swing and then the second. Kojan glares as he swings again but Yugi deflects his swings and then tries swinging downward. Kojan dashes away instantly only to dash around like lightning. Yugi is forced to use his senses and dodges the slashes but barely as they still cut most of his body from his arms, legs, chest and even the left side of his cheek.
''He's way too fast.'' Yugi tells himself, realizing that even with his ability to read auras and track opponents in battling; he can't keep up with Kojan's massive speed. It's like he is lightning, making it near impossible to track his movements. He quickly leaps upward and points his Dragon Blade, shouting as he points towards Kojan. ''DRAGONAUN BURNING!''
''RAIKIRI CALIBUR!'' Kojan, however, shouts as he dashes towards the dragon-like fireball Yugi shoots out from the tip of his blade while thrusting his left arm still holding the left Dragon Ryujin. The blade is then wrapped and consumed in electricity and reshaped to resemble an electrical greatsword. Kojan swings with that arm, slashing through Yugi's and dissolves it.
The tricolor head widens his eyes as Kojan still dashes to swing at him but Yugi shouts, using his free hand twitching. ''Bakudo #61: Rikujokoro!''
Immediately, Kojan consumes himself by his Susanoo armored form as the six yellow wide energy beams try to thrust themselves around him for the Susanoo to repel them.
Yugi startles more as he tries to chant for another Kido only for the Susanoo's arm to slap him so hard, it smacks him onto the ground.
Kojan scoffs as he's quickly tugged by the left, pulling him out of his Susanoo. He startles, noticing a yellow energy rope around his right arm. He used that Bakudo move, Hainawa, from one of those beams to wrap it around his arm at the last moment.
Shooting out from the ground like a rocket, Kojan is hit across the chest by Yugi's Dragon Blade but using the flat side of it, launching him upward as Yugi leaps above him and shouts, now swinging his blade with the sharp edge of his weapon. ''DRAGONAUN AETHER!''
He swings downward but Kojan, staring calmly, utters out. ''HIRAISHIN.''
His Katanas begin glowing electricity and then his body as it immediately releases a burst of electricity like a sphere. The sphere expands and wraps itself like a forcefield as Yugi's blade hits it instead and it literally shocks him. Yugi panics with grunts of pain before he's launched away, crashing onto the ground.
''A-an electrical field?'' Yugi utters in surprise, not expecting that.
The electrical barrier vanishes as Kojan then proclaims, raising his left Katana up. ''INAZUMA.''
He swings it downward as a lightning bolt shoots down from the sky and nearly hits Yugi if he barely tosses himself backwards. But the lightning bolt hitting the ground creates an explosion regardless, blasting Yugi through multiple rubbers before stopping, grunting in pain.
Yugi pulls himself back up as Kojan lands back on the ground instantly, declaring calmly. ''My Burst Limit is far stronger than yours in every form and way. You can't win.''
''… So what?'' Kojan narrows his gaze as Yugi swings his right arm forward, gripping tightly on the Dragon Blade. He looks at him with eyes visible, glowing determinedly as he continues declaring, not backing down. ''I refuse to give up, Kojan-kun!''
Accessing Yin-Yang Dash Form and creating a Dragon Clone with a hand sign, Yugi and his clone form a Dragon Rasengan on the original's left palm hand. He soon dashes at him but Kojan stands there, going to stop it.
Yugi prepares to swing his Dragon Blade as Kojan prepares to deflect it until Yugi suddenly disappears in Kojan's view. He then immediately reappears in front of him, shouting loudly as he thrusts his left arm forward. ''DRAGON RASENGAN BULLET!''
Kojan, however, still stands there as the superfast attack is coming at him. Yugi looks confused until he widens his eyes as Kojan's body fades like a mirage as the real Kojan is also charging at him in front of him, thrusting right arm as he shouts. ''DRAGONAUN RAIKIRI.''
His arm is consumed in electricity, wrapped into an electrical dragon's head. Yugi startles in shock, not realizing the Kojan he was attacking was some kind of mirage, way too convincing till the last second. But he doesn't understand why Kojan is attacking him, head on, rather than attacking his back.
The two still thrust the other's attacks and slams them, releasing a violent clash of wind and lightning, becoming swirls of a typhoon. Yugi glares, slamming his attack harder but Kojan, without trying, thrusts his attack forward and pierces the attack, frying the young Dragon Knight's left hand. Yugi widens his eyes as Kojan thrusts his electrical enhanced katana and pierces through Yugi's left arm, shocking him.
The tricolor head shouts in agony as Kojan comes swinging at him with his other Dragon Ryujin but Yugi stomp kicks Kojan across the stomach, pushing him away as his other katana comes out from his bleeding arm. Yugi grunts in agony, not able to lift his arm or use it while Kojan is literally gasping blood from his mouth. He tries to not show weakness as he lets his energy heal him while it does drain him.
Regardless of his pain, Kojan smirks as he proclaims confidently. ''Your attacks are worthless compare to mines.''
He swings his electric blade right at Yugi who dodges immediately only for Kojan to appear where Yugi moved away. The tricolor head panics, not able to use the arm.
''And your speed is hardly impressive. You can't ever and will never beat me!'' Kojan declares while Yugi sweats in terror. The tricolor head tries swinging his blade by twirling his body but as he does, Kojan shouts. ''RAKURAI!''
He swings his left Katana, releasing a powerful lightning slash. It slashes Yugi right across his back and slams him crashing onto the ground while screaming. ''GAAH!''
Kojan looks down, glaring as he can still feel Yugi's aura. He's not finished yet.
''Stage 3!'' Shouting loudly, Kojan watches a burst of energy shoot upward. He watches as Yugi shoots outward, his arm healed as his body is surrounded in red fiery aura resembling a dragon with energy wings, tail and horns. He flies up, floating right at Kojan as he stares both annoyed but strongly. ''Maybe but I'm not fighting you alone. I have partners and friends who believe in me.''
Kojan glares as Yugi reappears in front of him, swinging a punch so fast that it smacks Kojan hard… however his skeleton Susanoo turns into humanoid form. It then swings its lance as Yugi stops it with his energy dragon tail, wrapping it tightly but the Susanoo flails and tears off the energy tail. Yugi doesn't slow down as he swings his blade in his chance but Kojan uses Yahata no Kami to reshape the lance and literally switches the position of the lance into the other hand and thrusts it at him. Yugi barely has time to react as he shields himself with that side's wing and blocks the attack but it slams him away.
Yugi gasps, blood pouring out from his mouth, watching as Kojan's body erupts in energy.
''… And I have a desire that surpasses your pathetic bonds.'' Kojan then proclaims as he shouts loudly. ''DRAGONAUN SHUNKAN!''
The Susanoo vanishes but now Kojan is consumed in electricity similar to Mew Ichigo's Thunder Armor Mode except the electricity is almost suppressed, wrapped around him in an outline. Yugi stares, his eyes shaken as he can sense this massive amount of energy coming from-
Suddenly, Yugi is slashed multiple times across him by Kojan and now appears before him. He then slashes faster, per second, as he kicks him into the sky. Yugi gasps as his wounds begin to regenerate but Kojan reappears and kicks him away faster with stronger force. Yugi screams as Kojan moves around with insane speed, blitzing Yugi faster and actually kicks him around over and over across the sky like ping-pong. Each kick breaks a bone or organ, causing Yugi massive agony.
''He's way faster!'' Yugi tells himself mentally, unable to do anything to keep up with him. Kojan continues hitting him over and over till he stops from behind, manifests his Susanoo in Skeleton form and smacks Yugi into the ground again.
Kojan looks down, scowling, till Yugi shoots upward and tries shouting, holding his Dragon Blade upward. ''DRAGONAUN-''
''You're damn too slow!'' Yugi widens his eyes as Kojan reappears without his Susanoo and slashes him on the back before reappearing in his front and delivers a barrage of punches across him.
''Slow-slow-slow!'' Kojan shouts loudly, beating him down before he kicks Yugi upward. He then shouts, leaping upward as he extends his arms on his sides. ''DRAGON ART: TORNADO DRAGON TECHNIQUE!''
He spins around rapidly as his Dragon Ryujin blades are engulfed in energy, wrapping him up as a tornado. It moves with such speed, slamming through Yugi and slashing him up before slamming him once more into the ground.
Kojan stops as he turns, watching Yugi trying to pull himself back up but staggering heavily. He scoffs as he mocks Yugi. ''Like I said about my Burst Limit; it is stronger than yours in every form and way.''
Yugi ignores him upset, refuses to give up. He can't as his body bleeds but heals up. Kojan descends back to the ground as he declares. ''Now watch how Lightning, Wind and Water mixes!''
He crosses his arms, swirls of wind and lightning mixes around his Katana blades as water also wraps around them.
''SQUALL RELEASE!'' Kojan begins declaring as he swings his katanas forward. ''VACUUM STORM!''
His blades cross and release a destructive twister-like blast, a mix of the three elements. Yugi panics as his legs aren't responding. He quickly flaps his energy dragon wings faster and faster till they expand and slam themselves onto the ground so hard it launches Yugi just barely over the tornado attack as its force blasts Yugi regardless onto more debris of the hideout but stops by stabbing the Dragon Blade into the ground. The tornado hits everything that Yugi once stood his ground on, vaporizing the attack vanishes.
Yugi gasps heavily, thinking he was a goner. Even Kojan finds this extremely lucky but can tell Yugi is at his limit.
''You cannot hope to win, worthless so-called Dragon Knight!'' Kojan begins to tell him, mocking him as he then advises him. ''Give up. You don't belong here or be wielding that weapon.''
Growling at those words, Yugi shakes his head in protest as he manages to lift himself up. He pulls himself back up with the Dragon Blade, in so much pain but it won't beat him.
''I said I'm not giving up, Kojan-kun!'' Yugi shouts, refusing to give up not just for himself but his friend too. ''I will not let my friend be consumed in darkness and hatred.''
Kojan gazes, irritated by his utter nonsense. He then declares coldly. ''A worthless and naïve kind non-Dragon Knight like you can't hope to match me. You don't belong being a Dragon Knight!''
Frowning, Yugi raises his Dragon Blade upward while his arms shiver. He grinds his feet on the ground, breathing as he focuses. Swirls of purple flames ignite from his blade as he utters out weakly. ''Roar, heavenly dragon!''
Kojan scoffs, twirling his katanas as he swings his swords to the left and focusing.
''DRAGONAUN TENGOKU!'' Yugi roars, swinging downward and releases the purple energy serpent dragon, roaring as it flies right towards Kojan.
''… Let's go, Dragon Ryujin.'' Kojan mutters out as the two Dragon Ryujin blades speak up in a unique, deep voice. ''QUAKE THE STORM~!''
Yugi becomes alarmed by the voice as Kojan then shouts, swinging his katanas forward to Yugi's attack. ''DRAGONAUN RAIJIN!''
The blades erupt and release a burst of electricity so massive that they become a bright vermilion electrical serpent dragon with quadruple wings. Yugi widens his eyes as the vermilion colored lightning dragon with pure yellow dragon eyes roar and comes flying right at the purple dragon.
The two dragons clash heads, roaring as the force of lightning and fire. They clash, creating a burst of energy that spirals around like a storm. Yugi grits his teeth, focusing his hardest on his attack but Kojan simply focuses more. Soon his Dragonaun Raijin literally roars and sinks its fangs right through the Dragonaun Tengoku's neck. The purple dragon roars in agony as its shock violently with about 1 billion volts of electricity. The lightning dragon then rams through and destroys the purple dragon, its flames burning away.
The young Dragon Knight watches helplessly as the Dragonaun Raijin instantly rams through Yugi too. He barely puts up a defense with his Dragon Blade, his body wrapped up by Yin-Yang Dragon's shroud and creating as many Dragon Clones that he can as the attack hits them. He couldn't even scream as the lightning dragon consumes everything and explodes, releasing hundreds of lightning strikes that vaporize the entire area as well as the very sky, piercing the dark clouds and dissolving them instantly.
Wizard watches from his end as well as Kakashi, getting closer as is Kurosaki.
The electricity ceases as all the rubber and debris has vanished, disintegrated into nothing. The sky even brightens up with Kojan standing, unfazed as electricity flies around him. On the ground, however, Yugi is face forward, grunting in pain while twitching. He might have died from that, lifting his head up slightly. But his body is badly wounded, his Yin-Yang Dragon mode gone and he can barely even move.
Kojan watches, breathing that he actually survived as his forehead sweats. He begins approaching him as Atem yells at his partner. ''Partner, get up now!''
Yugi can't as he grips on his Dragon Blade… which its blade is completely destroyed. Atem just notices it, uttering in dismay. ''Your Dragon Blade!''
He can't believe the Dragon Blade broke apart. Not discouraged, Yugi focuses with limited energy and the Dragon Blade repairs itself. However, he can't find himself standing up. Seeing this chance, Kojan runs up with quick speed to end him.
''Yugi-san!'' Yang Dragon calls out loudly as does Yin Dragon, encouraging him. ''Get up now Yugi! You-''
Yugi grunts, not able to get up in time. Kojan reappears above him, reverse gripping his right katana as he raises it up high. But before anything else happens, wind energy shots fire at Kojan causing him to dash to the left instead of backflipping or raising his head as what follows is a massive dog literally tackling him and then bites into his leg, thrashing him away.
Landing swiftly, Wizard arrives, twirling his WizarSwordGun with Kakashi beside him. Wizard rushes to Yugi's aid while Kakashi, looking sad for the young man before turning and approaching Kojan.
Kurosaki arrives to spot the tricolor head, having a face of terror to see him beaten down like this. He grits his teeth as he dashes to reach him first before Wizard.
''Yugi, you alright?'' Kurosaki asks him to worry, kneeling down as he taps his shoulder. Yugi grunts weakly, trying to lift himself up with wobbly legs but drops on his knees regardless. Kurosaki frowns angrily for not appearing sooner as he pulls him up.
Gasping angrily, Kojan releases a burst of Raikiri Shockwave, electrifying the giant dog until it poofs into smoke. He gets up just as wobbly, especially his bleeding, bitten leg. He gasps as his Mangekyou eyes stare at a person approaching and it's Kakashi.
The Copy Ninja widens his visible eye, lifting up his headband to show his Sharingan eye. His head begins flashing memories of someone approaching him in his early days as a Jouin teacher. He attacked him and the two clashed. His attacker was young, slightly older than Sasuke's age, but much more experienced than him. He was strong, actually forcing him to use his Sharingan and the Raikiri… and then he smirked and left. He never understood back then why he just left but now he understood.
''You…'' Kakashi utters out firmly. Kojan smirks rather weakly, greeting him sadist-like. ''Oh, the Copy Ninja again. It's been a long time huh?''
Kojan starts snickering, literally amazed how fate is actually cruel like he told him long ago that he's now facing the man he attacked to copy his Jutsu. That dragon was right.
''I never thank you for showing me your technique.'' Kojan proclaims, not looking good with shaken eyes. Kakashi glares calmly as he tells him seriously. ''If your idea of copying my Jutsu was to use it against others, then you don't understand the meaning behind it.''
''… I don't give a damn.'' Kojan just says as he comes at him, his movement speed slowed down. Kakashi pulls out two kunais for each hand after throwing a smoke bomb as Kojan gets close. Smoke covers the area but the two Sharingan users still clash in the smoke, sparks of steel flying out within the smoke.
Swinging their blades, Kakashi tries his best being defensive against Kojan aggressive yet slightly slower swings. They also attack with their arms and legs but Kojan barely does it as he simply evades all of Kakashi's attacks like they were as slow as a slug. Not able to keep up as one of his Dragon Ryujin slashes his Kunais in half, Kakashi leaps away as Kojan shoots out from the dissolving smoke, shouting as he charges while his right arm is consumed in lightning dragon aura. ''DRAGONAUN RAIKIRI!''
Forming hand seals, Kakashi responds as he charges in while his opposing hand is consumed in electricity too. ''RAIKIRI!''
The two dashes at the other and clash lightning attacks, colliding and creating an electrical forcefield. The two Raikiris try to overpower the other, more so that Kojan is feeling weaker until Kojan swings his katana with his other hand. Kakashi sees it and kicks his closest leg across his swinging arm. Kojan grunts, distracted, as Kakashi sucker punches him across the chin, launching him upward. However, Kojan kicks Kakashi across his chest, launching him up as he then throws a barrage of lightning fast punches before slamming him onto the ground.
Kakashi is dragged away while Kojan floats in the air, rubbing his chin. The Copy Ninja manages to flip himself back on his feet as he forms hand seals, forming another Raikiri.
''LIGHTNING RELEASE: LIGHTNING BEAST TRACKING FANG!'' Kakashi shouts, extending his lightning arm forward and fires forward, transforming into a lightning enhanced hound. It runs with such speed towards Kojan but he scoffs, raising his left arm and shouts. ''RAIKIRI PULSE!''
He releases an electrical pulse that repels and even absorbs Kakashi's attack. Kojan breathes as he shouts, forming his skeleton form Susanoo to Kakashi's horror, not believing he's witnessing the Susanoo.
Kojan then unleashes Yasaka Magatama mix with Yahata no Kami, reshaping the projectiles into Fuma Shurikens and throws them all at once with such speed towards Kakashi. Not given a choice as he can't dodge them, Kakashi triggers his Mangekyou Sharingan and immediately uses Kamui to suck up all the attacks, vanishing them inside the wormhole.
Kojan staggers a bit, surprised he can do that. However, Kakashi gasps, dropping onto one knee. The Uchiha chuckles a bit, thinking he'll be in trouble as he proclaims. ''You're done trying to match me?''
He comes at him only for a burst of wind blasts him away. Kojan grunts, standing his ground as Wizard Hurricane Dragon lands before him with dual WizarSwordGuns.
''He's not your only opponent.'' Wizard declares as he comes charging at him, taking a swing with one of his swords only for Kojan to dash upward, flying. Wizard takes a leap as his Wizardragon wings emerge on his back and flies right after him.
Kakashi watches as the two fighters clash in the sky, moving around rapidly. Wizard tries slashing against Kojan's katanas who repels his attacks and releases multiple lightning energy shots. Wizard dodges around them switching both swords into gun forms and fires a barrage of wind-lightning energy shots. Kojan stands there as the attacks are instead absorbed around his blade and then he reappears behind Wizard. The rider tries twirling for a roundhouse kick only for Kojan to kick him faster with a lightning enhanced strike, sending him crashing into the ground.
Kurosaki glares as he asks Yugi. ''Yugi, leave it to us alright.''
Yugi doesn't say much as Ichigo flies at top speed, gripping his blade with both hands as a surge of black, red outline energy erupts from its blade.
''GETSUGA TENSHO!'' Ichigo shouts, swinging Tensa Zangetsu towards Kojan's back but the Dragon Knight turns around fast just to watch Ichigo swings and unleashes his black crescent energy blast. It hits into an explosion but the energy is instantly pushed into multiple corners, revealing Kojan unscratched as well as blocking Kurosaki's blade with one of his Katanas
Ichigo widens his eyes in disbelief, cursing out in protest. ''Bull! That's not possible!''
''No, that's just Yahata no Kami.'' Kojan reveals to him calmly only for Kurosaki to utter out extremely puzzled. ''… What?''
Sighing as he won't explain it, Kojan simply shouts as electricity flies around him. ''INAZUMA SUPUREDDĀ!''
His Dragon Ryujin that is blocking Kurosaki's blade erupts in electricity before blasting a lightning blade through the blade, becoming wide and piercing everything before it. However, Kurosaki blocks it but is pushed backwards hard, gasping heavily.
Breathing as he forms his Hollow Mask, Ichigo howls as he vanishes, moving so fast as he swings Kojan only for Kojan to block his swing. He growls as he keeps attacking the Uchiha with insane multi-swings but Kojan dodges around them, reading all of his attacks and evading them.
''GETSUGA-'' Kurosaki roars, swinging his blade downward but Kojan shouts in response. ''Susanoo!''
Manifesting before the black energy forms around Kurosaki's blade, Kojan's Armored Susanoo forms and grabs Kurosaki by its body. He startles as the Susanoo starts squeezing him alive, causing Kurosaki to yell in pain.
''CHAOS LANCE!'' Suddenly a golden energy lance stabs through the Susanoo's arm and cuts it in half, freeing Kurosaki who pulls back.
Kojan frowns, turning only to get attacked by his side by Sonic in a Spin Dash. He slams himself against the Susanoo's strong Chakra body, spinning faster and faster till he splits an opening but then Kojan swings his Katana and slams the hedgehog away. Sonic reverts back, unscratched as he declares, pointing his finger at him with a smirk. ''You missed us?''
The Uchiha doesn't look at him as he gazes at Shadow, having saved his comrade.
''No.'' Kojan just says as his Susanoo manifests Chakra weapons and swings them at the two who dodge them. Kojan then pulls back as he shouts as his Susanoo, discarding its weapons as they vanish, forms hand seals. ''SUSANOO: GREAT FIREBALL TECHNIQUE!''
He breathes a massive fireball that his Susanoo mimics and grows larger in size, shooting it towards the group and consuming them instantly.
Kojan breathes heavily, getting drained of energy. Hopefully with-
''FLAME DRAGON!'' Kojan staggers, looking up as his fireball is shrinking in size and being absorbed.
''BOU-BOU! BOU-BOU-BOU!'' The Wizardriver chants as the fireball vanishes and reveals Wizard in front of what was his fireball, now transformed into its Flame Dragon form.
''Round 2 then?'' Wizard taunts his opponent, twirling both his WizarSwordGuns in sword form. Scowling irritated, Kojan declares angrily. ''A shame I don't give a damn about you right now!''
He dashes right at him with lightning speed, appearing behind Wizard. The rider doesn't flinch as he turns fast only for Kojan to appear behind him again and slashes him, launching upward. Sparks fly out from Wizard, sent flying as Kojan flies with blitzing speed, slashing him over and over. Wizard can't keep up with him as Kojan appears in front of him, taunting him with a smirk. ''What's wrong? No more Showtime?!''
Wizard tries thrusting a swing only for Kojan to slash and destroy that WizarSwordGun, which was the copy, before entering Dragonaun Shunkan and proceeds to blitz so fast he thrusts and stomps Wizard into the ground before kicking him away. Kojan is about to blitz him again but Kojan gasps out blood from his mouth, stopping in his tracks.
Flipping himself back on his feet as he grinds his feet on the ground, Wizard breathes heavily on one knee. He realizes that Flame Dragon will not be enough and his Mana is dropping. He switches rings in his left hand and flips the right lever of his Wizardriver, sliding his hand over the belt.
''CONNECT, PLEASE.'' The Wizardriver announces itself as a magical circle manifest and Wizard thrusts his left arm into the circle and pulls out a strange device with a timer and a dragon's figure. He didn't expect to use it this soon but he had to settle things.
"You can't beat me." Kojan threatens him with his Mangekyou Sharingan eyes glow viciously. "Either give up or die already!"
''I refuse to give up. On myself…'' Wizard begins to proclaim, not just thinking of himself but the friends he's made and their hopes. ''And on them too. That is our hope!''
(Now playing OST… Just the Beginning by Kamen Rider Girls from Kamen Rider Wizard)
Kojan glares enraged as Wizard stands up, twirling as he attaches the device and stops, facing him forward with the device attached on his left hand.
''DRAGO TIME!'' The device with the same voice as the Wizardriver announces passionate followed by a loud dragon roar
Wizard twirls the clock timer as the Drago Timer proclaims. ''SET UP!''
Kojan watches, confused as Wizard declares, holding up his device hand as he twirls his WizarSwordGun. ''Time for true Showtime.''
He charges at him while pressing his palm onto the thumb switch of the Drago Timer as the device announces as it begins spinning like a clock timer. ''START!''
Kojan scoffs, dashing at him much faster and swings his left katana at him. Wizard, this time, times it and twirls around to the right and immediately deflects the slash and follows with a burning kick. Kojan gazes at the kick and uses Yami no Kami, causing the flames to extinguish as the leg stomp onto the ground. Wizard startles as Kojan swings with his right katana right at him until…
''WATER DRAGON!'' The Drago Timer announces as emerging to intercepting the slash is another Wizard, in Water Dragon form, with his own WizarSwordGun.
Kojan widens his eyes in shock with this Wizard greeting him almost in a taunt. ''Hello there.''
Water Dragon Wizard lifts the katana up with a water blast as both Wizards swing their swords at him but Kojan dodges out of the way. He breathes, sounding angry, as he says. ''So you can multiply for real huh? Just two aren't enough to beat me.''
He shoots out lightning from his blade at the two.
''You sure about that?'' The two Wizards declare in sync as the Drago Timer announces. ''HURRICANE DRAGON!''
Suddenly appearing above them is a third Wizard in Hurricane Dragon form as he fires a shot from the WizarSwordGun.
''Three?!'' Kojan utters in dismay. The Wizards each snicker, twirling their weapons in a taunt.
Gritting his teeth, Kojan lets out a shout of fury. ''Like I care!''
He shouts, manifesting his armored Susanoo.
''YASAKA MAGATAMA!'' Kojan commands as his Susanoo manifests its projectiles as it throws them. Kojan then declares as his Mangekyou eyes spin around. "SUSANOO: YAHATA NO KAMI!''
With his Mangekyou's ability, he reshapes the spinning orbs into thousands of sharp needled blades and shoots forward at the 3 Wizards.
Flame Dragon Wizard chuckles as he announces, lifting his right index finger up. ''One more though.''
Kojan doesn't follow until the Drago Timer announces. ''LAND DRAGON!''
The land shakes as an earth wall lifts upward and blocks all the needles projectiles as each one explodes on impact. The wall shatters apart revealing the Wizards, now with a fourth Land Dragon form, standing beside them. Kojan grits his teeth even more irritated.
''Let's finish this.'' The four Wizards declare as the Flame Dragon one stomps his palm on the thumb switch of his Drago Timer, announcing. ''FINAL TIME!''
The four Wizards charge forward as Kojan roars angrily as his Susanoo manifests twin spears, unleashing a barrage of multiple thrusts. The four Wizards dodge around each thrust of the Chakra spears while slashing them with their WizarSwordGuns' sword form.
Kojan glares as the Wizards come swinging with elemental slashes but his Susanoo tanks them until it's slashed apart by a Getsuga Tensho. Kojan immediately ducks, dodging Kurosaki's swing who cuts his Susanoo just halfway through.
''My eyes can react to every-'' Kojan proclaims seriously only to get kicked across the face by Sonic, slamming him out of his Susanoo. He then zig-zags around Kojan, delivering barrages of insanely punches and kicks that moves so fast it smacks Kojan around. Not even his Mangekyou Sharingan can keep up with Sonic as he's kicked onto the ground.
''Everything but me, slowpoke!'' Sonic calls him off with a grin. Kojan staggers angrily, standing back up as he's about to dash at him until Shadow shouts. ''CHAOS MAGIC!''
Suddenly Kojan panics, pushed by the heavy gravity of the chaos distorted portal underneath him.
Wizard takes this chance, flipping the thumb lever as the Drago Timer declares. ''DRAGON FORMATION!''
Wizard moves his right foot and back tip steps the ground with it as he's suddenly lifted upward with a red magical circle behind him. Each of the other Wizards gain their own colored magical circle as they transform into their Dragon form: Flame with the Dragon chest, Water with the Dragon tail, Hurricane with the Dragon wings and Land with the Dragon claws.
Kojan panics, reforming his Susanoo as the four Wizards release their dragon signature attacks at the Susanoo and literally shreds it apart, blasting Kojan backwards with actual damage.
Kurosaki sweat drops heavily. Even with his Hollow Mask, Ichigo can't believe that Haruto is still this much stronger.
Standing back by lifting himself upward, Kojan breathes heavily as his eyes look so filled with hatred. He lifts both Dragon Ryujins forward.
''Don't worry, this fight is done. Finale!'' Wizard, none with this fight, declares as flips the hand of his weapon and taps it with his right ringed hand.
''COME ON A SLASH, SHAKE HANDS!'' The WizarSwordGun chants as Flame Dragon raises his sword forward as well as the other Wizards.
''WATER-FLAME-LAND-HURRICANE!'' The WizarSwordGuns chant as each Wizard raises their swords to their sides and swings them forward right at Kojan. ''SLASH STRIKE!''
''GETSUGA TENSHO!'' Raising his own blade, Kurosaki howls as he swings downward with Tensa Zangetsu and fires a massive blast of black, red outline energy. Along with it are the red, blue, green and yellow elemental energy slashes of each Wizard's sword swings.
Shadow joins them with a Chaos Lance as Sonic spirals around and unleashes a Blue Tornado.
Kakashi watches amazed as their attacks all come flying towards Kojan who widens his eyes.
''Crap…'' Kojan utters out as his Mangekyou Sharingan eyes glow. Soon the attacks consume him and explode on impact. Kakashi braces himself while Yugi watches weakly.
(End of OST)
Kurosaki breathes, his Hollow Mask vanishing, as does each Wizard except the original. Kakashi sighs, lifting his forehead downward. It seems he's beaten for good. Yugi, though, frowns worried.
''Whew.'' Wizard lets out a deep breath, not expecting this fight to-
''Is that it?'' Everyone, including Wizard, staggers back as the smoke of the explosion is blown away by the right katana swing of his Dragon Ryujin is Kojan.
Kurosaki sweats in shock while Shadow also sweats angrily. Yugi, having already felt his aura, tries to move but he can't. He gasps angrily, not able to do anything.
''I told you: Your attacks will never touch me.'' Kojan reminds them as he reforms his Susanoo again, crying out like a phoenix and burning up with such heat. "Surrender or die.''
Shadow sweats angrily, not believing how damn strong he is. What the hell are they supposed to do?
Taking a step forward, Wizard answers Kojan strongly. ''Sorry, I'm having Deja-vu right now.''
Raising his left arm, Wizard is determined to use all of power to beat him.
''Let's go wild, dragon.'' Wizard declares, going to use that power to settle things.
Kojan oddly smirks, actually going to show them his full-
Suddenly Kojan gasps in agony on his stomach. The others notice this as Kojan grips on his stomach with such pain, gasping as blood starts leaking through his hand and tainting his chest.
''This wound?!'' Kojan utters mentally with a terrified expression, shock of the wound across his stomach. When the hell did he-
It then hit Kojan's thoughts; that last hit Ichigo inflicted on him. It must have delayed the blow from back then. This was a mistake to fight Yugi then; he shouldn't have let his energy he's been wasting to ''heal'' the wound and leave.
Kojan, sweating of pain, oddly smirks as he mutters out. ''N-Not bad, Ichigo Momo-''
Sadly Kojan's words are cut off as he collapses face forward due to the pain. This surprises everyone with Yugi uttering out weakly. ''K-Kojan-kun!''
No reaction. The four Wizards breathe as they approach up close and then Kojan slams his fist, gripping on one of his Dragon Ryujins. He starts pulling himself up, grunting in such pain with a face that perfectly describes his suffering but he refuses to submit to this as a loss.
''I-I…'' Barely up, kneeling on one leg, Kojan tries uttering out but can't focus. Not even his vision is doing well, becoming blurry. He starts breathing heavily but this will not kill him nor will he lose to anyone.
The four Wizards watch before taking a step and immediately Manectric leaps from the tree, barking at the group. ''MANEC!''
''Is that a dog?'' Kurosaki questions in surprise. Yugi nods softly, sensing something else is watching them.
''Stay down girl, I-'' Kojan tries ordering his mon to not attack but Manectric unleashes Discharge and then follows with Flamethrower, mixing both attacks as an explosion upon the group. Yugi manages to stare at Kojan who stares back, the two lock at the other until the explosion intercepts their eyesight.
Wizard Flame Dragon gets in front of the explosion and absorbs it with his ring. Once the explosion was absorbed completely, both the electric Pokémon and Kojan were gone. There was no sign of them.
Pulling them away swiftly, Manectric manages to take Kojan away who powers down to not be sensed out by Yugi though even if he did, he must be damaged too.
Kojan breathes softly, touching his wounded chest as he pulls out a small medical bag in his jacket. He begins to self-treat himself while Manectric whines of worry. ''Manec…''
He eyes her and forms a small smile, thanking her as he pets her head. ''Good girl…''
Manectric blushes red, rubbing her head on his forearm. Kojan doesn't say much, treating his wound well enough to move.
''C-come on…'' He utters out, going to need to rest till his wound recovers. Luckily, he won't be out of commission for long. The two walk as Kojan thinks of Yugi, frowning that he had to go after him like that but now maybe he will give up this worthless mission.
Wizard sighs as he presses a switch on the Draco Timer and his duplicates vanish within him as Wizard reverts back to Haruto, breathing heavily with some damage on him. If Kojan was blood-lusted and not injury; they would be dead.
''… Did that dog just release electricity and fire?'' Ichigo asks, still surprised that the dog could do all of that. Shadow just scoffs with no comment.
Yugi tries to sense Kojan but can't. He frowns, defeated, muttering out. ''Kojan-kun…''
Yugi begins to question if he can even reach his wounded heart… or what remains of it.
To be continued…

Thank you for another great episode. I thank those who are helping me get this story noticed and enjoy it. For those who love it, please review my story and give me your opinions or thoughts on it.
Next Time…
It has been a few weeks since Yugi's loss and he's not sure how to help Kojan or if he can be the Dragon Knight that his father was. Worried for him and wanting to restore himself back to the Yugi she loves, Ichigo asks him out and leads to her challenging Yugi to a duel. Will Ichigo's hope for Yugi bring back his faith in himself?
Ed: You know… Maybe things are okay now.
Judai: Yep!
Alicia: Wait on what?
Ed: With all that's happening. I mean Yugi will deal with Kojan and he and Momomiya are okay. There're no worries. He's been sad but knowing that cat, she'll restore his smile.
Jonouchi: … I trust Yugi and I guess Momomiya too. Next time in Yu-Gi-Oh! Dragon Knight Reborn: A Neko's Hope: I Believe in You! Yugi vs Ichigo! Duel Standby!
Alicia sweat drops: Please remember to read, enjoy and review. See you all next time, I guess. And I also believe in Ichigo too.
Author's Note: I actually didn't want to do another chapter but it was necessary. So here we are.
Plus I wanted to talk about stuff involving the aftermath of Ichigo's fight against Kojan, Kojan reflecting on a happy memory and the hateful relationship between Kojan and Obito.
Most importantly, a clash between Yugi and Kojan and the other reason why Kojan doesn't want to fight Yugi but will to destroy ''Madara''. And it's very obvious that Yugi cannot match Kojan. Or how this Burst Limit Kojan can fight Kurosaki, Haruto/Wizard, Shadow, Sonic and I guess Kakashi without a problem. I will say right now Kojan can and will solo Team Dragon Knight and is the strongest non-Villain character right now.
And the only reason why Haruto/Wizard with Drago Timer could match Kojan was because of his injury becoming worse for each passing moment that he is fighting. His power kept that injury from becoming worse and it is FREAKING scary to say but… can Yugi even win in a rematch? WELL… time will tell?
Last thoughts on this arc… a little forced but it ended the way it should be. Plus the next time we see Sasuke… well you guys know.
Next time is the final arc of Volume 5. OH YEA, we are about to end the Volume so prepare for a lot of surprises and stuff too, sadness and despair! Also, spoiler, it's Aizen.
SO... no DKR for 3 weeks. I have to deal with some real life problems and other stuff... and set up the finale of Volume 5. So yea, see you all in 3 weeks! At the 24th of November. Hopefully I will be able to upload even during the last weeks of 2022. See you all there... hopefully. If I get a commission, then the 1st of December!
