Volume 5: Episode 44: Robotized Karakura! Ichigo's Despair!
In the previous episode of DKR:
Kaiba made the call to get another helicopter to pick them up so they can head up to Karakura Town for the next zone they need to restore. Haruto went off ahead as the rest of the group waited.
Arriving at the location, Akumu and Dark General Knight have found the home of the vampire mage, Evangeline A.K. McDowell. Hesitating at first, Akumu entered with the young 10 year old body, actually a 700 year old vampire was aware of his presence but not fully aware who he is. Akumu revealed himself as the young man she saved long ago and asked for her services. Bored of him and seeing the sky darkened, Evangeline was able to use her magic and seemingly killed him but Akumu brushed off the damage.
Soon Akumu and Evangeline fought as he revealed himself as the frightening Dark Lord. She was still not worried as the two fought dark fire versus dark ice; the other unable to kill the opponent and vice versa. However, Dark Leader Dragon then revealed he had darkened the sky to get a chance to fight the frightening Dark Evangel.
Evangeline was actually impressed by Akumu's skills, she submitted. Akumu, approaching her, admitted his feelings for her partly and offered her a chance to give her what she long desires; to be free of her curse. Tempted to be free and also tempted by his words of wanting to control the world that has mistreated her for so long, Evangeline accepted with a grin wanting to see how this man is capable of tangling with the devil.
With the super power helicopter that arrived, Team Dragon Knight arrived in Karakura in no time, however they were immediately attacked by Metal Sonic and Eggman. With the evil doctor revealing he has robotized almost all of Karakura Town, he then revealed the robotized Hollow-like Kurosaki. This horrifies everyone as they must now fight their own friend.
Will Yugi and the others be able to stop the evil genius and his dangerous robot and save their friend?
And now the conclusion... last left off in the previous episode:
Having walked inside the barrier surrounding Karakura Town, a lone Skitty searches for good. The poor, pink furred cat Pokémon was one of the wild in search of food and instead gasps at the robotized city.
''Nya?'' Skitty utters really confused but still went searching for good, moving around quickly.
Kurosaki had fire a powerful laser blast at the group but Haruto responds sliding a new ring over his belt, chanting out. "DEFEND, PLEASE!''
A red magical barrier manifests and blocks the laser blast. Jonouchi breathes heavily as does Usagi.
''Snap out of it Kurosaki!'' Ed yells at the orange head still inside this machine. No response as Danny yells out knowing the guy is still in there. ''Come on Ichigo, this is not you!''
Haruto raises an eyebrow turning to the red haired Ichigo and asks her. ''They mean you?''
''The other Ichigo Nya.'' She corrects him as Haruto realizes they both have the same name. Weird, it's like how Naruto- OH.
''He's our friend and well he's not himself.'' Sonic tells him as Haruto gets the situation and switches his current right handed ring with the driver ring, sliding it over his belt buckle. ''DRIVER ON, PLEASE!''
''Then I'll handle this.'' Haruto declares, tapping downward his Flame Style Wizard Ring and flips the levers of his transformed Wizardriver. ''SHABADOOBIE, TOUCH TO HENSHIN!''
''Henshin!'' He shouts running forward, sliding the red ring over his belt, announcing. ''FLAME, PLEASE!''
A red magical circle manifests as he runs through it. ''HI-HI! HI-HI-HI!''
He comes out from the other side, transformed into Wizard with the WizarSwordGun sword form at hand. Neo Metal detects it and declares firmly. ''Identified new threat factor…''
''It's Showtime!'' Wizard shouts leaping and performs a strong kick over Kurosaki's face, slamming him into the ground. Wizard lands and immediately dodges to the left, elegantly from a strong sword swing from the robotized Kurosaki already back on his feet. Wizard swipes his sword and comes at him, clashing swords against his opponent but immediately backs away from a claw swipe from Kurosaki before he slashes the rider across the chest. Sparks fly out staggering Wizard as the robotized Kurosaki swings his blade once more and slashes him again with such force that it sends him crashing inside a building.
The others watch in shock as they try to dodge or take cover from the other robots attacking them. Ed transmutes a wall as Judai summons Neos, repelling the attacks.
''COSMIC-'' Usagi tries to shout to transform until Neo Metal comes at her but gets shield bashed by Alicia as she follows up with a burst of intense flames from her lance, blasting him backwards. Neo Metal brushes off the damage, having now adapted to the heat of her power but not before getting kicked across the face by both Sonic and Shadow, slamming the robot even harder.
The robotized Kurosaki roars as he comes at the group but immediately gets stopped by Yugi, using a Yin-Yang Dragon Spiral Slash. However his attack is caught by the robotic claw of Kurosaki to Yugi's shock, shattering the energy drill-like attack. The robotized Kurosaki roars, opening its mouth and charging up another mouth blast right in front of Yugi.
''COPY, PLEASE!'' Suddenly multiple bullets fly and hit only Kurosaki, pushing him back. He turns as Wizard comes at him and roars dashing at him. Wizard times it and moves to the left only to get grabbed by the neck by the robotized Kurosaki on his side and thrusts themselves into a wall.
Yugi pants heavily, still looking at the hole to see the real Wizard emerging out. He wipes the dirt off his outfit and trench coat, using a Copy to distract him but his opponent is clearly faster.
Alicia watches, not sure what any of them can do but they have to do something. She turns to Ichigo and blinks to see the red cherry head having an expression of terror, almost freaking out already. She stares as something is wrong with her.
''That guy is fast.'' Wizard commentates with Yugi nodding in agreement. Weiss comes to the two and immediately protests, having frozen a few of the robotized civilians with her dust and Glyphs. ''Please! I almost beat this guy once. I can do again!''
Yugi is about to protest but Weiss dashes at the robotized comrade. Yang and Blake sweat drops heavily with worried faces while Ruby runs after her shouting. ''Hey Weiss, wait!''
The robotized Kurosaki destroys the copy Wizard as Weiss comes at his neck and slashes his back neck and does not do a speck of damage. She swings faster with more precise, piercing strikes but none of her attacks left a mark on his body, at all. She startles by rotating her rapier's guard and fires gravity dust bullets, pressuring the robot. However Kurosaki lets out a shriek and breaks free of it to her shock.
He turns around fast with a claw swipe but Weiss ducks in the last second, rotating her guard and leaps backwards while firing ice dust bullets, freezing him on spot. Weiss lands gracefully, waving his hair with a smug smirk to see the frozen ice cube of-
Suddenly the frozen cube starts to crack to Weiss' shock and the robotized Kurosaki breaks free, roaring. She panics, rotating her rapier's guard and fires multiple fireballs that did no damage.
''My attacks aren't working?'' She utters out in confusion. Kurosaki roars coming at her but Weiss manifests one of her Glyphs as a barrier to tank the attack except he swings his blade and cuts through it, shattering the barrier with the blade still coming at her. Weiss slowly widens her eyes as she manifests two more and both are slashed apart but it gives her the time to distance herself and create a massive ice wall.
Weiss breathes heavily, starting to notice her stamina is running out.
''Damn it. Damn it!'' She yells in her mind while gritting her teeth. She wasn't going to lose twirling her rapier and hit the ground, focusing. She's relying on creating an ice Summon but she's still not good at summoning them.
''Work please.'' She tells herself to focus but nothing is happening. Just the wall is cut and slashed apart, revealing the robotized Kurosaki hissing. Weiss just widens her eyes in horror until Ruby's voice shouts. ''WEISS!''
The robotized Ichigo turns to see Ruby blasting him with her Crescent Rose blaster form, shooting as many shots to stun him before switching into scythe form and swings at him… but he catches the scythe by the pole. Ruby blinks as he roars preparing to swing at her but Weiss manifests a Glyph underneath her, launching her and tries to slash him but he quickly throws Ruby on top of Weiss. Both girls are slammed away and tossed onto a wall. Ruby falls first with Weiss falling on top of her.
''D-damn it…'' Weiss mutters weakly with Ruby pleading with her weakly. ''Come on get off me please Weiss.''
The robotized Ichigo roars, coming at them until the Wizardriver announces. ''BIG, PLEASE!''
He turns and immediately gets slapped across the body by a massive Wizard arm, slamming him backwards hard. The arm reverts back to reveal Wizard, elegantly showing his hand.
Wizard then switches his left red Wizard ring with a blue Wizard Ring, telling himself. ''Let's try this one then.''
He slides his right hand over his belt as it glows.
''WATER, PLEASE!'' The Wizardriver proclaims as Wizard raises his left hand forward as a blue magical circle manifests. The circle moves towards him as swirls of water fly out. ''SUI-SUI, SUI-SUI!''
The circle consumes Wizard and vanishes as the Kamen Rider takes on a new form. Now his main colors are now blue as his helmet shape is more like a spade.
Yugi and the others watch amazed as Wizard has a fourth form.
Twirling his sword elegantly, Wizard dashes at the robotized Kurosaki who shrieks and comes at him. The two clash swords once more as the robotized Substitute Shinigami attacks aggressively while Wizard parries or blocks the sword strikes with his. However, that begins to change as Kurosaki swings faster, much faster that Wizard is forced to evade, flip dodging as best as he could.
''He's really fast.'' Wizard comments again as releases a burst of water from underneath his feet, shooting him away from a powerful sword swing from the enemy. Wizard lands back on the ground and he's still worry that Yugi's friend is fast, telling himself mentally. ''Almost like Infinity Style…''
Wizard clenches the grip of his sword, really wishing he could use that Style right about now. But he won't lose regardless.
Kurosaki shrieks as Wizard opens up the fisted hand of the WizarSwordGun, chanting. ''COME ON A SLASH, SHAKE HANDS!''
Wizard then slides his left hand over it as WizarSwordGun announces, passionately. ''WATER SLASH STRIKE!''
Wizard raises his sword up as currents of water coats the blade of the WizarSwordGun. ''SUI-SUI-SUI! SUI-SUI-SUI!''
Kurosaki comes at him but Wizard quickly swings forward, firing a blue, water energy slash and it hits instantly across the robotized Shinigami. At first the attack does nothing until the robotized Ichigo sees the dripping on his face. He begins to remember… remember…
Sparks start to fly out, causing him to malfunction as he roars slamming his feet on the ground.
Neo Metal detects it and warns his creator. ''Doctor, he is malfunctioning. We must-
''Sing.'' A voice speaks out that Yugi recognizes. ''Benihime!''
A crimson energy beam tears through the ground and surrounds Neo Metal Sonic and Eggman as well as all the robots and the malfunctioning robotized Ichigo.
''That attack.'' Erika mutters remembering it as did Yugi as suddenly appearing among the group is Urahara, sighing he came just in time. Yugi slowly smiles, uttering out. ''Urahara-kun!''
Urahara eyes the young man and replies smiling back. ''Yo Mutou-san, doing well?''
Yugi chuckles, wishing he was. Urahara feels the same as he insists on the group. ''We should retreat. We can save Kurosaki-san later.''
The young Dragon Knight was not going to object as the group nodded. Urahara smiles as a long, white piece of cloth is spun around out from his kimono sleeve and wraps around everyone in its coils.
Neo Metal glares as he fires a beam of energy from his left arm, swinging through the crimson wall of energy and cuts it in half. The spinning cloth tightens as Neo Metal charges at them but it is too late with Urahara announcing. ''Sentan Hakuja.''
A white flash shines around them and teleports them instantly just as Neo Metal dashes at where they were. He looks around, scanning the area and no trace of them.
''Darn! They got away!'' Eggman complains but Neo Metal isn't concerned.
''Fear not doctor, I can deal with them.'' The menacing hedgehog-like robot informs him, his eyes glowing in a joyful squint. ''Time is on our side.''
Eggman blinks and then smirks realizing it. As long as they waste time on them, Zorc wins either way.
Yugi and the others blink, finding themselves teleported in Urahara's underground training area underneath his shop that was protected by a strong Hado protection spell.
''Yugi-kun and everyone else.'' The group turns to see Orihime, rushing over with Sado, Uryu and Rukia present as well as other people, mainly Kurosaki's friends and family unconscious. Yugi smiles to see them okay with Naruto asking amazed. ''You guys managed to avoid whatever happened outside?''
Rukia sighs, nodding. Thankfully Urahara appeared when he did and they all managed to take as many people too.
''We had to put them in an unconscious state so they don't well-'' Rukia explains that part with Judai nodding, getting it as he says. ''Understandable.''
Rukia and Uryu then explain what had happened as did Yugi and the others that this was Zorc's doing.
''This is freaking insane!'' Ed yells out upset by this whole mess. Shadow scoffs, complaining at his foolish assumption. ''Really? After everything we've seen before, I was expecting one of them being this scenario.''
Alicia sweat drops also feeling the same too.
Yugi checks on his egg that Jonouchi was extremely careful in protecting in the backpack. He thanks him for rubbing and cleaning the egg to retain its shine, happy it's okay.
''So where's that Soul whatever guys?'' Jonouchi then asks Rukia, not seeing Renji or the other Shinigami. Rukia sighs about that as Renji had to leave to do some training and at the worst time too. But that isn't the worst part; she had no luck calling Soul Society. She had tried calling them with her phone and no signal. ''No signal of Soul Society and I doubt they'll be able to help.''
Urahara had the same problem too and regardless of this barrier surrounding Karakura, he can contact Soul Society with his means but he hasn't been able to… coming to one conclusion; Aizen.
''Aizen-san is surely plotting in the middle of this crisis. So like the so-called-'' Urahara begins to tell himself until he's suddenly punched across the head by Yoruichi, yelling at him annoyed. ''I heard enough already Kisuke!''
The others sweat drops with Haruto surprised how she just appeared out of nowhere. Weiss is also stunned as she drinks a water bottle Sonic gave her and most of the others.
''Being rude as always Yoruichi-san!'' Urahara expresses in a teasing manner, waving his small hand fan to cover the lower half of his mouth as a huge head pump appears on his forehead.
Yugi blushes and chuckles. Kaiba scoffs not caring as he questions the tricolor head. ''So what's the plan, Yugi?''
The tricolor head eyes him and answers already certain what they need to do. ''We know now that the bosses of this zone we must beat are both Metal-kun and Eggman-kun. If we beat them, it might not restore everyone already robotized and if we try to fight them, they will surely use them as hostages including Kurosaki-san.''
Orihime frowns, worrying as was Rukia, blaming herself not being able to do much. Urahara smiles as he praises the young man's intelligence. ''Just like Mutou-san to think that far.''
He hums recalling how head-strong Yugi's father would be, charging in the middle of a fight with his own sense of intelligence.
''Takao-san would just think in the middle of the fight instead of prepping.'' Kisuke mutters out, adjusting his hat. Yugi is startled to hear that, asking. ''My father did that?''
Haruto looks at him, surprised to hear about Yugi's father. Then… he isn't alive then. The tricolor head soon smiles warmly, happy to hear it. He then asks the shopkeeper. ''Then you must have a plan, Urahara-kun?''
Urahara flaps his fan chuckling as he answers carefree. ''Oh I was just waiting for you actually to set up my plan.''
He quickly appears on Yugi's back and pulls out a syringe, jabbing his neck with it. Yugi immediately widens his eyes as does Yin-Yang Dragon, both yelling out in agony. ''OUCH!''
The others stare in shock as Urahara pulls away having sucked up plenty of Yugi's blood but more specifically is Yin-Yang Dragon's energy a bit too. Yugi sobs, rubbing his neck as it heals up instantly, gasping out still surprised. ''W-warn me next time!''
Urahara grins, nodding as he informs him. ''With this, we can restore everyone already robotized including Kurosaki-san.''
Yugi blinks, wondering how but he trusts the older man. Sonic then suggests with a grin. ''Then myself, Yugi and the rest of us that are fast will vaccine the heck of the robotized people.''
''The rest of us can deal hunting down this Metal Sonic then.'' Judai proclaims smiling. Sonic suddenly snaps his fingers wanting to fight Metal but he can't complain now.
Both Berry and Ringo know they can't do much… but Ichigo can. Erika could but she can't do everything especially with a robotized Kurosaki on the loose. They turn to Ichigo alone in the corner, thinking. The two approach her with Ringo calling out to her. ''Ichigo-onee-chan!''
Ichigo startles turning to eye the two girls with Berry asking her, smiling softly. ''You'll help us out right Ichigo-san?''
Alicia watches this close to them and could see the face of doubt on Ichigo's face.
The red cherry head stares at them and couldn't help but frown, not sure she should help them with the way she is right now. She puts up a front, smiling, and apologies to the two explaining herself. ''I-I would like to but I'm still recovering and-''
''ICHIGO ENOUGH!'' Ichigo staggers heavily as does everyone, facing towards Alicia who yells out of frustration. Alicia blushes of embarrassment for screaming like that but she can't accept seeing Ichigo reduced like this; this wasn't Ichigo, not the girl who would risk herself and help anyone no matter what.
''Don't lie to us anymore!'' Alicia tells her off approaching her. Ichigo looks at her, frowning slightly. She walks up to her explaining herself with her fake smile. ''What are you talking about Alicia-chan, I'm-''
''You're scared, aren't you?'' Alicia asks her firmly, both girls stopping in front of the other. Ichigo slowly shatters, her smile becoming an expression of shock and fear in her eyes as well.
Alicia has seen it plenty of times already today and it confirms. The others watch with Yugi frowning.
"You don't want to transform because you're scared. You're hurt after what-'' Alicia begins to say, about to mention Mew Blackberry and immediately Ichigo silences her coldly. ''Shut up.''
Alicia doesn't shut up as she continues speaking. ''I noticed it ever since Arkham showed up and began to overpower us. You froze up when Yugi needed help. You were scared to transform, so scared that you couldn't protect the one person who-''
''I SAID SHUT UP NYA!'' Screaming enraged, Ichigo finds herself slapping Alicia across the face. Everyone staggers heavily, silent by that action. Ichigo soon widens her eyes to realize what she did with Alicia stunned.
''Cousin Ichigo-chan…'' Usagi mutters speechless to see this. Alicia breathes looking at her confused as Ichigo glares madder, her slapped hand shaking.
''What would you know?'' Ichigo begins to say before yelling out madly. ''WHAT WOULD YOU KNOW IF I'M SCARED OR NOT!''
The group sees Ichigo breaking down, dripping tears coming out from her face.
''I am not scared…'' Ichigo mutters, still recalling the terror of Mew Blackberry beating her so savagely that she could feel her body being torn apart.
''I am not…'' She starts muttering, her face broken down. Alicia eyes her concern as she tries to reach out to comfort her and Ichigo slaps her hand away from her. ''YOU DON'T GET TO JUDGE ME!''
''I wasn't! I-'' Alicia tries reasoning with her but Ichigo hears enough, tears still dripping from her face as she runs off. She startles trying to run after her but Shadow stops her, not seeing any point in going after her.
''Hey don't feel bad, we all kinda noticed it.'' Judai expresses having noticed Ichigo's weird attitude even before the party. After what she went through, who wouldn't act like that?
''So did Yugi-san. He just didn't have time to deal with it.'' He then adds but Yugi protests, shaking his head. ''No Judai-kun. I knew Ichigo-kun would react that way.''
This surprised him as the group eyed him, seeing Yugi sadden. He always had a feeling Ichigo never really recovered. Physically yes but not mentally, having lost her confidence and the part of Ichigo is broken.
''The beating she received from Mew Blackberry; it didn't just hurt Ichigo-kun physically but mentally. She lost more in that fight than any other.'' Yugi explains, feeling more than responsible for what had happened to his Ichigo. He eyes Alicia and tells her smiling. ''Alicia-kun, I'll talk to her okay.''
Alicia looks down, frowning. Yugi worries she might be mad for the slap and asks of her, willing to pay for Ichigo's decision. ''You can slap me if you want!''
Alicia startles looking back at him and protests. ''N-no, I get why you didn't talk to her.''
She sighs just upset that Ichigo couldn't open up with her. The two of them have been somewhat at odds even when they first met. She didn't know she was a magical cat girl and just called her the cheerleader of the group when clearly she's more than that and even after the two got to know each other, they aren't that close. Heck Alicia isn't sure she's close to a lot of the girls. Ruby is okay, Usagi is crazy but nice but she never had a connection with Ichigo.
''I just thought if she talked to me then-'' Alicia began to explain, just wanting to help her… where she failed with Selvaria. She couldn't even save her and now she feels like the same is happening with Ichigo.
Yugi eyes her and begins to understand her and responds. ''I know. But I believe in her and so do you Alicia-chan. We just have to believe in Ichigo-kun''
Alicia frowns, nodding, feeling the same. Haruto eyes them and sighs walking out.
''No time for the blaming game.'' Shadow reminds them, knowing they can help Momomiya later. ''We have to stop the doctor and Metal Sonic.''
Yugi nods agreeing with him as he turns to ask the shopkeeper. "Urahara-kun, when you're ready.''
''Tada!'' Urahara yells out already done and grins holding a box. The group blinks and peaks in it and startle at what they are seeing.
Yugi hums wondering what it was until he feels something pulling his pants. He looks down behind him and is startled to see one of Ichigo's sisters, the older one Karin, doing it. So she wasn't unconscious, looking at the younger sister Yuzu still sleeping.
''Hey, I know this is much but…'' Karin begins to ask the tricolor head, able to tell he wants to help people just like her big brother so she asks him. ''Can you save him? Can you save Ichigo-onee-san?''
Yugi eyes her and forms a soft smile, nodding determinedly.
''I'll bring him back. Promise.'' Yugi vows not to fail her. Karin smiles a bit and nods, putting her trust on him.
Will Yugi and the others be able to save Kurosaki and all of Karakura?
Commercial Break:
Weiss: I won't slack off and let this beat me yet!
Ichigo: … What should I do Nya?
Alone, Ichigo manages to climb herself back to the surface and looks outside of the protected shop at the robotized town. She's still breathing heavily, unable to control herself. Her eyes are still watery, sobbing that she actually slapped Alicia. Of all of the people she would have slapped like Mint or anyone that crossed her, why did it have to be Alicia? She was trying to help and yet… yet her heart is afraid to admit that truth. It broke her.
"Why?'' She starts asking her, eyeing the special ring around her finger that conceals her cat features from others. She frowns, pulling it out, looking at it and immediately sees its gleam and sees a momentary flash, reminding her of Mew Blackberry nearly killing her. Ichigo begins to panic and goes into a frenzy, shouting furiously. ''WHY!''
She suddenly tosses the ring and throws it out of the shop. Ichigo soon staggers with widened, shocked eyes, realizing she tossed away the ring and sweat drops, needing that to keep her cat ears from being noticed by normal people. She lowers her head in defeat, really acting an idiot.
"CONNECT, PLEASE!'' Ichigo startles turning to see Haruto approach her, creating a magical portal and pulls out his bag of plain sugar donuts. He opens the bag, checking he has but one plain sugar donut left. He should save it, feeling a bit low on magic but he's confident he will be fine.
He pulls out the donut and offers it to her. ''Donut?''
She looks at it and shakes her head refusing. ''Sorry, not hungry.''
Haruto still holds up the donut in front of her, not taking ''No'' for an answer. Ichigo blushes, noticing it and sighs accepting the donut, holding it close.
''So you're part cat?'' Haruto asks the obvious looking at her cat features. Ichigo blushes kinda relieved he's okay with all of this.
''Y-yea.'' Ichigo responds softly. Haruto chuckles a bit, never meeting a cat girl before. It's rather nice. He then becomes firm and says from what he partly learned. ''From what I caught, you escaped death basically.''
''… I guess.'' Ichigo responds looking at her feet. Haruto eyes her and then asks her, straight to the point. ''Are you really scared to transform or to fight?''
''… Both.'' Ichigo states, sadden. Haruto hums, having a feeling as he then asks. ''Can I ask why?''
She looks even more depressed, still seeing visions of her beating by her hands, her laughter, the failure in stopping her; she hates it.
''… She broke me.'' Ichigo begins to mutter out, sobbing once more of drips of tears coming out from her eyes. ''She broke me. She broke my wand that connected me to Yugi-kun, to everyone's love and I failed them.''
Ichigo tightens her lips, trying to hold herself in a fetal position.
''I-I couldn't even protect them.'' She expresses regret, never feeling this worthless in her life. Haruto stares at her and couldn't but remember the last time he was able to see Koyomi, to hold her, to hear her last plea. He never really recovered. Even after stopping Gremlin, that wound never really recovered.
''… I know how you feel, Ichigo-chan.'' Ichigo startles looking at Haruto who begins to reveal. ''I failed someone special, someone who I promised I would be her final hope. She died in my arms, unable to save her.''
Ichigo just stares speechless, not aware of that. To think someone this strong went through his own hell.
The Hope Wizard Ring attached on the chain belt shines as Haruto then says, showing signs of determination. ''But, I didn't let it break me. If it did, then despair would have won and her last words would be in vain.''
Haruto then smiles as he expresses with a hopeful tone. ''Like she told me once, I am everyone's last hope. And everyone has Hope too. You can't let the past, your Despair, to conquer who you really are.''
Ichigo eyes him and just looks down, not sure if she can while she continues sobbing. She hesitates that she will be able to overcome this and become the person she used to be, arguing to herself. ''W-what if I'm no longer the same person as before.''
''Then rebuild who you were.'' Ichigo startles looking back at Haruto who smiles, nodding. He reaches to his jacket and pulls out a tissue, handing it over to her. She accepts blushing, trying to clean her sobbing
''Tears are not just sadness but joy escaping from your heart.'' Haruto begins to tell her, recalling these words that Koyomi once told her. "Take all of your tears and turn them into a jewel. A gleaming, shiny jewel called Hope."
Ichigo stares speechless, not sure what to say.
''It's not over for you. That I know.'' Haruto says, more confident than she can be and if she still doubts herself, then she's not alone. ''It's up to you to believe in that. Like how Yugi, Alicia and the others believe in you too.''
''…'' Ichigo watches silently, not even assuming that everyone believes in her. She does smile a bit, knowing that Yugi believes in her too.
Haruto stands up and adjusts his jacket, proclaiming rather cocky. ''Don't worry. I'll handle this assassin robot and this crazy fat doctor.''
He looks at her vowing strongly. ''I promise.''
Ichigo doesn't say a word as he walks out, leaving to deal with the threat. She eyes the donut still in her hand, blushing if she could… oh crap the ring.
She stands up in a panic and rushes out to find the ring.
A few minutes pass as Yugi and the others prepare to head out and realize both Ichigo and Haruto are gone. Alicia decided to find her as well as Berry and Ringo.
''…'' Yugi remains silent with Sonic, Shadow, Ruby and Weiss with him to search and free everyone in Karakura with the device Urahara created. He's greatly worried for Ichigo, hoping she's okay. Jonouchi told him that she'll be okay but he can't help but feel more responsible.
Weiss frowns really feeling… pressured. She's seen how the so-called Dragon Knight had helped Ruby, Yang and even Blake so she would assume it is her turn and nothing. He's been silent, not saying a word and it's getting to her. She shouldn't explode, not once but it's driving her mad.
She tries to breathe, refusing to make a-
''Do you really want me to admit my flaw?!'' Weiss suddenly yells out loudly, demanding for an answer. Yugi startles turning to the white haired girl, gazing mad at him.
She groans before responding madder, admitting her flaws. ''OKAY! Fine! I have bad stamina and I can't take big hits. THERE! I SAID IT!''
Ruby blinks, surprised she admitted that flaw. Weiss blushes angrily, really proud of her skills and status but this last fight got to her; she's nowhere near as strong as her older sister.
''I just…'' She starts to say, hesitating to admit it but this might be the only way to get… help. She sighs explaining herself. ''My older sister, she's sort of the pride of the Schnee family. She's so strong and elegant that I want to become just like her.''
With the exception of her sister who she cares deeply, admiring her… the rest of her family is well… not at all. Her family never approved her desire to be a Huntress too and her brother… she has her worries he might want to kill her so there's that. But they might be right. Regardless of her dancing skills, Weiss doesn't have the stamina to fight the same way as her sister and it drives her mad.
''I wanted to be like her so much that I tried to become like her but I screwed up. Either by my body or the lack of power I have. I want… I want to be like her.'' She expresses, wanting to be like her but how can she. Ruby frowns not aware of that. Sonic smirks acknowledging her strength while Shadow scoffs not caring.
''… Then become stronger than you are right now by being yourself.'' Weiss startles looking at Yugi who turns smiling as he further adds. ''And also Weiss-kun, you have friends who can and will charge in front so you don't get hurt. Give them your support and power to help them.''
Weiss blinks, recalling those words from a professor to become a supporter rather than the main fighter.
He smiles, able to tell she has the potential to surpass herself, promising. ''One day you too will shine like your sister but also remember how you got there too.''
Weiss is speechless, not expecting that kind of confidence. She smiles at that though she asks him firmly. ''Can I ask how long you took to get my turn?''
Yugi blinks and starts laughing nervously. ''Hahaha… Well…''
He blushes not wishing to say he was just concerned for Ichigo but there's another reason why he didn't try to talk to Weiss about her issue since Kurosaki warned her about her. ''I doubted you would want a peasant to help you.''
Weiss startles and protests overdramatic. ''I CALL THE ORANGE THUG THE PEASANT! A KNIGHT IS NO PEASANT!''
Yugi sweat drops pretty sure Ryan once told him that peasants can become knights too.
''Um sure!'' He expresses going to remember that. Weiss sighs really amazed how carefree yet dumb this Dragon Knight can be. Still, this pent-up frustration in her very core has ceased so this helps. She eyes Ruby and tells her confidently. ''Ruby, my strength is your strength.''
''… Can we high-five then?'' Ruby then asks, smiling, raising her hand over her head. Weiss stares at her stunned and ultimately sighs, slapping it.
''Don't push it.'' Weiss tells her off annoyedly, not going to tolerate it again. Ruby giggles, nodding.
''You done?'' Shadow asks, annoyed as he looks ahead. ''We got company.''
They look ahead and see the robotized civilians, blasting them immediately with their arm blasters. Shadow repels them with multiple Chaos Spears, canceling the attacks.
Yugi sighs smiling as he declares. ''Ready everyone?''
Everyone nods, pulling out the strange emblem that resembles cartoon sticker versions of Yin-Yang Dragon. Yugi eyes his stickers, hoping these things work.
Urahara grinned, showing the group the stickers he invented. The group just stared puzzled with Kaiba, ignoring this crap, protested annoyed. ''What the hell is that?''
''Yin-Yang Stickers! Neat right?'' Urahara explained with a confident smirk. Nearly everyone found the stickers as stupid or ridicules.
Urahara chuckled proudly as he simply explained. ''They're the key to restoring those turned robotize. Just stamp a sticker on the target and let the rest happen.''
Yugi held one of the stickers and nodded, going to try it.
Yugi reaches for his Dragon Sword with one of the stickers ready at his other hand. He comes charging as one of the robotized humans fires at him but Yugi deflects the attacks and uses Dragon Speed Burst and slams the left hand across his face. The robot tries to move until the sticker that he stomped on his face starts to release white and black sparks of electricity in a concentrated focus. The robotized human starts malfunctioning before dropping backwards. Yugi watches in surprise as the robot pieces on the body starts popping out, reverting the human back to normal.
Sonic smirks really amazed that work as he and Shadow dashes around at the multiple robotized humans as well as Ruby with her Semblance, attaching a sticker on them once and the same thing happens like the last one. Each robot drops backwards with sparks of electricity flying out and their robotized parts are being reverted back to normal.
Weiss is surprised that they work until they hear a roar. The group turns and looks up at the robotized Kurosaki, hovering over them growling.
''Hmph. Look who showed up.'' Shadow says almost in a taunt. Weiss glares, going to be the best supporter as she eyes Ruby. The dark red haired looks at her comrade and smiles responding as she twirls her Crescent Rose. ''Weiss, Glyphs us up!''
''You got it leader.'' Weiss responds holding her rapier forward and focuses manifesting a few Glyphs. Ruby leaps at the one in front and it bounces her straight up, right in front of the robotized Ichigo as she swings her scythe at him. The robotized Substitute Shinigami quickly blocks the swing with his left forearm. Sparks fly as he swings his sword at her but Ruby switches her switch into her blaster form and fires a barrage from her blaster. Sparks fly out from his chest but also fires strong dust shots, pushing her forward to evade the swing. Ruby lands on a Glyphs and quickly descends back to the ground.
The robotized Ichigo roars about to attack him until it gasps puzzled. Ruby's attack is a distracted as Yugi with Weiss, using another Dragon Speed Burst, to place a few stickers on his back before he knew what hit him. The robotized Ichigo starts out-circuiting, dropping onto the ground.
The group watches as the effects are working but they're being resisted. Still this was a major push.
''Urahara Kisuke, damn genius for a shopkeeper.'' Yin Dragon says, smirking by the man's genius. Yugi grins softly, admitting the same.
Weiss could tell they needed to try harder as she eyes Ruby and insists. ''Ruby, our Semblances together.''
Ruby remembers that and smiles nodding. ''Let's!''
Weiss smirks, moving a Glyph aiming towards the stunned Kurosaki as Ruby leaps on it. The same Glyph suddenly pulls back like a trampoline, turning black and it bounces, launching Ruby at the robotized Ichigo while spinning rapidly like a spinning top. The attack hits too fast, slashing the robotized Shinigami, sparks flying out as he's pushed back.
The robotized Ichigo roars trying to come at her but suddenly gets smack fast by Sonic's speed, before he hovers in the air and descends downward with an Axe Kick. It stuns the robot trying to swing his blade but Shadow appears with Chaos Snap at his back and uses Roaming Chaos, entrapping the robot in an orb of energy.
''Bakudo #4: Hainawa!'' Yugi shouts summoning yellow energy rope from around his left hand and holds said arm forward. He swings the rope and it quickly wraps the robotized Ichigo in seconds.
''CHAOS MAGIC!'' Shadow shouts, snapping his fingers and creating a distorted space underneath the robotized Ichigo, damaging him. He roars breaking free from the robe and then fires a mouth Cero-like blast at them.
''Bakudo #81: Danku!'' Yugi chants as he manifests a see-through large, wall-like rectangular shape barrier, blocking the laser mouth blast dead on. The tricolor head smirks softly, telling himself mentally as he's reminded of the time this move was used against him. ''Thank you, Aizen-kun.''
Yugi had created a Dragon Clone to form the dragon-like spiraling attack. He then dashes forward with Yin-Yang Dash Mode, instantly shouting as he thrusts his left hand containing his Dragon Rasengan at the robotized Kurosaki. ''DRAGON RASENGAN BULLET!''
The young Dragon Knight lands a direct hit and slams him backwards. The robotized Ichigo roars but then gasps as he has multiple stickers on him. Sparks fly out all over him trying to resist.
''El Directo!'' The robotized Ichigo turns and finds a fist punching across his face. It's Sado with a frown face, not wishing to hit his comrade but he has to. The fist pushes the robot back in the path of Uryu, taking aim with his vow.
''Licht Regen!'' Uryu shouts, firing and unleashing a devastating volley of spiritual arrows towards his comrade. The barrier of arrows hits and explodes on the robotized Kurosaki's back. He roars as Rukia is over him, discharging red sparks fly off her fingers.
''Hado #31: Shakkaho!'' Rukia shouts, firing a strong red energy blast from her hands, hitting and exploding over his head. This stuns the robotized Shinigami but he quickly turns as Rukia descends with her Shikai active. He swings his blade at her until a voice shouts. ''Santen Kesshun, I reject!''
A bright orange barrier intercepts the blade and blocks the attack. Orihime breathes, timing the save before looking at the robotized Kurosaki up close. She could sense him; he was still in there and in pain. Biting her lips to feel his pain, she pleads with him, reaching out to Ichigo. ''Please wake up Kurosaki-kun!''
The robotized Kurosaki looks at her stagger immediately, recognizing that voice.
Using this chance, Rukia shouts holding her pure white sword in a piercing sword pose. "Tsugi no mai, Hakuren!"
She fires a powerful pure-white snow blast from her Zanpakuto, consuming the robotized Ichigo before he finds himself frozen in ice. Rukia breathes deeply before clenching her free hand and smiles, loud and proud. ''FINALLY!''
Orihime smiles holding up a 10 out of 10 poster. Rukia eyes Yugi and the others and tells them smiling. ''Leave the rest to us. We'll bring back Ichigo.''
Yugi smiles as he and the others head off. Weiss does look back… thinking that she wants to become strong like them.
Metal Sonic searches through the skies, trying to scan for Team Dragon Knight but mainly Sonic. He clenches his claws, going to prove he is the strongest there-
There he starts to detect a strange phenomenon; those robotized are being restored? Impossible? How could-
''Yo.'' Metal Sonic staggers looking down and sees Haruto on the ground level, waving at him with the Wizardriver activated. The silent assassin gazes coldly as he morphs into Neo Metal, speaking up firmly. ''The Wizard.''
Haruto chuckles at the statement, expressing it. ''Wow, a robot acknowledging wizards and magic are real.''
Neo Metal Sonic's eyes glow furious, protesting annoyed. ''Do not think of me so lightly, flesh.''
Haruto soon takes it seriously, showing his Hurricane Style Wizard Ring on his left hand.
''Let's go metal hedgehog. I'll be your only challenger.'' Haruto responds by flipping downward the part of his ring to show the helmet. Neo Metal's eyes glow menacingly as he's reverted back to regular Metal to fight him.
Haruto flips the levers of the Wizardriver, announcing excitedly. ''SHABADOOBIE, TOUCH TO HENSHIN!''
Metal Sonic flies at him as Haruto shows, sliding his left hand over his belt. ''Henshin!''
''HURRICANE, PLEASE!'' The Wizardriver announces as a green magical circle intercepts Metal and pushes him back as it passes through Haruto. ''FU-FU, FU-FU-FU-FU!''
Haruto transforms into Wizard Hurricane Style, now wielding the WizarSwordGun. He twirls his gun before taking flight and engages Metal who flies right at him, the two clashing.
Upset about tossing the ring by accident, Ichigo searches and looks for the ring. She sighs though looking for it and she really did lose it.
''Aw…'' The red pigtailed girl complains, now having to tell Urahara that she dropped it.
''Nya!'' Ichigo startles turning to see a pink cat-like creature searching for food in a metal trash bin and groans, finding nothing edible to eat. Ichigo could hear the strange cat's growling stomach. She feels bad seeing the kitty's hungry face. And then she remembers she had that donut. She reaches with the tissue that she covers the donut in.
Nodding, Ichigo approaches the Skitty and tries greeting her smiling. ''Hey there little kitty Nya.''
The small Pokémon turns and she startles to see a living red haired human but with cat features.
''Nya?!'' The Skitty gasps meowing in shock. Ichigo giggles, placing the tissue on the ground followed by the plain sugar donut.
''You hungry?'' She asks the kitty, seeing her hesitation eyeing the donut but still very much hungry. Ichigo giggles as she insists kindly. ''Come on, eat up. I won't bite Nya.''
Skitty stares at the donut so hungry, licking her tiny mouth. Her stomach growls more and she doesn't want to starve to death. The kitty approaches the donut and bites down on it, eating it rapidly. Ichigo giggles watching the starving cat Pokémon eat with such joy, purring.
''Good kitty.'' She praises her squatting down to her, watching the strange creature she's never seen before eat up so happily. She watches till the Skitty finishes up the donut entirely. She purrs joyfully, expressing joyfully since Ichigo could understand her. ''Thank you Nya!''
Ichigo giggles happy to treat her, petting her head, especially her lovely cat ears. Skitty purrs again, really happy to find someone treating her so well.
''Ichigo!'' The red cherry head startles and turns to see Alicia, Berry and Ringo rush over towards her. The Skitty sees them and hides behind Ichigo's legs.
''Alicia-chan…'' Ichigo begins to mutter sadly as she eyes the rest of them. ''Ringo-chan, Berry-chan.''
Berry and Ringo gasps, blushing red to see the adorable cat Ichigo is with.
Alicia smiles glad she's okay and not attacked by robots. Ichigo breathes, still depressed for slapping her. She isn't sure how to forgive her after that.
''I-'' Ichigo tries to say but Alicia interrupts. ''Ichigo, no. I want to-''
Before Alicia could even speak, a burst of wind startled them. Skitty panics as she wraps her tail around Ichigo's leg. The girls look up to see Wizard fighting Metal in the sky, firing his bullets that Metal counters by swiping his claws with perfect accuracy.
''Haruto-kun!'' Ichigo utters out with Alicia sighing, not surprised he went on his own to fight alone.
Wizard tries to fly up close to Metal with a kick but Metal repels with his own, striking him back. Wizard twirls upside down as he quickly slides his right hand ring over his Wizardriver, announcing. ''BIND, PLEASE!''
Multiple green magical circles appear around Metal as chains made out of wind shoot out from the circles. Metal Sonic blocks the wind chains with his octahedron Black Shield – Defensive Matrix defense. He then charges up at him with his yellow electrical energy sphere, V. Maximum Overdrive Attack. Wizard barely dodges the attack as he quickly slides on a different ring in his left hand, sliding it over his belt as Metal Sonic comes around in a U-Turn.
''LAND, PLEASE!'' The Wizardriver announces as a yellow magical circle manifests over him and as Metal Sonic comes at Wizard with his sharp claws, the robot suddenly finds himself under pressure and crashes into the ground. Wizard also descends but gently as the yellow circle overlaps him as he lands on the ground.
''DODODO DODODON, DON DODODON!'' The Wizardriver chants as Wizard transforms into Land Style, striking a strong pose as he immediately unfolds the hand grip of his hand. Metal Sonic tries getting up, sparks flying out from his own attack temporarily leaving him disable.
''COME ON A SHOOTING, SHAKE HANDS!'' The WizarSwordGun chants as Wizard slides his left hand ring over his gun's hand symbol and then he takes aim.
''LAND SHOOTING STRIKE!'' The weapon announces a yellow magical circle forms around the barrel of the gun. ''DON-DON-DON! DON-DON-DON!''
Wizard immediately fires as the WizarSwordGun shoots energy blasts in the form of sand and rocks, hitting Metal Sonic and explodes on impact. Wizard twirls his gun but stares calmly. The girls watch as the smoke where Metal Sonic was hit is suddenly ripped away, revealing Metal unscratched and now in his Neo form.
''Done warming up?'' Neo Metal Sonic asks the foolish human, egoistic by his superior strength. Wizard actually chuckles, switching his left hand ring with the blue Water Style Wizard Ring, answering him. ''I am actually.''
He quickly slides the ring over his belt as it glows.
''WATER, PLEASE!'' The Wizardriver announces as Wizard raises his left hand up and a blue magical circle manifests and it moves downward, consuming the rider. ''SUI-SUI, SUI-SUI!''
The circle vanishes and transforms Wizard into Water Style as he switches the WizarSwordGun into sword mode.
(Now playing OST… Mystic Liquid from Kamen Rider Wizard by Kamen Rider Girls)
Neo Metal glares as he then charges forward with greater speed than before but Wizard responds back swiftly, the two clashing swords to claws. The two opponents dash around across the ground, seemingly evenly matched but Neo Metal laughs as he punches Wizard across the chest, sparks flying out.
''Any form you use will only allow me to adapt and-'' Neo Metal begins taunting him superiorly until he suddenly finds himself slash across the chest by Wizard already in front of him. Sparks fly out as Wizard swings again but Neo Metal catches the blade, his eyes glowing menacingly.
''Become unstoppable!'' Neo Metal finishes thrusting his claw at him but Wizard jump kicks the claw, stomps the same foot on the claw and jumps off it back-flipping away. Neo Metal quickly fires bolts of lightning with Wizard timing it as he somersaults and swings his sword, slashing the attack.
Landing on the ground, Wizard switches rings in his right hand, declaring as he slides that hand over his belt. ''Adapt to this then.''
''LIQUID, PLEASE!'' The Wizardriver announces as Wizard glows blue. Neo Metal scoffs as his eyes glow.
''I won't need to.'' The robot begins to proclaim before he shouts spreading his arms on his sides upward. ''CHAOS CONTROL!''
Suddenly a pulse echoes through his body, freezing everyone and time itself in place. Neo Metal snickers walking relaxed towards the frozen Wizard, extending his right hand claws. He then comes charging and slashes his claw at Wizard, cutting… right through him like water… literally.
''What?'' Neo Metal utters out as his claw slashes through the rider but instead of a solid mass, he was pure liquid like water? He glares, swinging both claws faster but his claws just pass through him. ''Liquid?''
Neo Metal growls as electricity comes out from his claws and he fires it forward, zapping the rider but it does nothing.
The robot couldn't believe this, questioning bizarre. ''How is my electricity now shocking him?!''
Suddenly time resumes as Wizard suddenly launches and wraps around Metal. He is startled as did Wizard, questioning out loud. ''Wait did time just-''
Neo Metal growls, blasting the water wrapped around him. The liquid reforms back to Wizard, watching as sparks fly out from Metal.
''I will adapt to-'' Neo Metal begins to proclaim until suddenly Wizard launches himself again like water, surrounding and wrapping around the robot. He groans trying to break free again but this time the water still wrapped around him. He tries to adapt but no luck. He detects the water and releases a burst of electricity but nothing.
''Magic non-adapted?! THIS IS STILL WATER?!'' He realizes it in shock. Wizard soon twirls around like a hurricane and tosses Neo Metal into a wall.
The others watch just amazed by that. Neo Metal pulls himself out of the hole, growling annoyed.
''No matter, I can still adapt and-'' Neo Metal proclaims still confident in his abilities until Wizard, having swap rings, slides his right hand over his belt.
''LIGHT, PLEASE!'' The Wizardriver announces as it releases a bright flash of light, blinding everyone, mainly Neo Metal. The killing machine growls intensely, his sensors going haywire. He couldn't see or react as Wizard slides on another ring on his right hand as he flips the right lever of his belt.
''LEPARCHI MAGIC TOUCH GO!'' The Wizardriver begins to announce, repeating that phrase 4 times.
''Finale!'' Wizard shouts sliding his right hand over his belt, announcing. ''VERY NICE! KICK STRIKE!''
A large blue magical circle manifests underneath his feet as the Wizardriver adds excitedly ''THE BEST!''
Wizard leaps up high, blasting like water before taking on a Rider Kick and descends right towards Neo Metal, kicking him directly. The impact is powerful enough to thrust the robot backwards and explodes in an explosion of water. Neo Metal crashes onto the ground, sparks flying out heavily.
The other girls remain their eyesight watching as Wizard lands on the ground, flapping his trench coat.
''Whew.'' Wizard mutters out, victorious once more. Ichigo watches amazed as is the Skitty purring in astonishment.
However Neo Metal clenches his claws onto the ground, struggling to get up even after being defeated.
''T-This isn't over…'' The robot vows not beaten yet.
Eggman was really confident of his conquest… well was. He has this face of terror, losing control of all those robotized.
"H-how…'' He mutters out, rubbing his bald head not believing this before yelling out madden. ''How are the robotized humans converting back to normal?!''
They couldn't have done this. They shouldn't have the means to-
''You know for an evil genius…'' Eggman staggers looking down from her hovercraft is Sonic, pointing at him as he drinks a soft drink with Yugi and the others behind him. ''You should have seen this one coming, Egghead.''
Sonic then throws the drink at Eggman who dodges it. He growls questioning them. ''How?''
''Well we have our own genius too.'' Yugi explains with a soft grin. Eggman just glares madder, slamming his fists on his keyboards.
''Damn it…'' He mutters out not believing this kind of outcome. He should have been prepared for the worst case outcome but that Zorc left him thinking he would win. He got cocky. The evil doctor breathes trying to calm down and proclaims in response to this setback. ''Fine by me!''
He presses a switch as something starts descending rapidly from the sky. Crashing before the group is a black, golden lining version of the Death Egg Robot with a more modern body. Eggman rides in the back as it is shut and he operates within the machine, declaring proudly as the robot raises its arms to the sky. ''BEHOLD! ULTIMATE DEATH EGG ROBOT!''
Ruby and Weiss sweat heavily by the massive size of the thing. Sonic, though, chuckles eagerly reminded of the first time he fought the first Death Egg Robot.
''Heh, just like old times!'' Sonic proclaims stretching as he warms up. Shadow scoffs as he then declares pointing at the doctor within the robot. ''We challenge you, Doctor. Prepare to meet defeat!''
Yugi smiles nodding as he eyes the two beside him and asks. ''Ready you two?''
Ruby gulps a bit but nods determined to do her job. Weiss breathes calmly holding her rapier just as strongly, telling the dark red haired girl. ''I have my leader's back.''
Ruby giggles, happy to hear that. Yugi smiles as he holds on to the handle of his sheathed Dragon Sword.
Inside the Garganta, Ulquiorra continues observing while Yammy is bored out of his mind. As was Grimmjow, more pissed than annoyed. They've been watching Yugi and his group doing these strange fights and locations like a game. And Ulquiorra has been informing Aizen as he sits comfortably on his throne chair in Las Noches. He couldn't help but grin at this strange death game the young Dragon Knight is placed on. No doubt it is one of the Dark Lord's comrades' doing.
Regardless, he's seen enough of it and wishes to test Yugi's strength once more; knowing the time to awaken the Hogyoku is near. Besides, he wants to confirm something. He soon orders Ulquiorra as his voice echoes within the 3 Espadas' mind with his power. ''Ulquiorra, you may proceed. Have your way with the Dragon Knight and his little friends but no killing them.''
Ulquiorra simply obeys and Yammy smirks. He is curious of his original hypothesis being incorrect about the human's power. How?
Aizen can tell his subordinate's curiosity. Then he speaks mainly towards the one Espada wanting to fight. ''You too, Grimmjow-kun.''
Grimmjow staggers and slowly makes a menacingly grin. Finally, time for the beast to be unleashed.
Eggman prepares himself with all the weapons in his super mecha robot, going to destroy Sonic and his friends for good. Sonic just smirks, looking forward to this.
''Now prepare to meet you-'' Robotnik begins to declare pressing a button as Death Egg thrusts his right arm forward… and then an error screen alarm occurs. Eggman looks puzzled as he looks through his screen to see the looks of surprise from Sonic and his comrades. He turns to his right to see the right arm of his giant mecha is missing, literally ripped off by a massive giant guy that stunned Eggman. "Um... eh..."
''W-what in the world just happened?!'' Weiss utters out in shock while Yugi seemingly recognizes him. ''You're-''
It is Yammy, carrying the robot arm he just tore off. He smirks, mocking the robot arm, tossing it away. ''Man your junk is crap!''
''… W-what you say?!'' Eggman utters out enraged, being mocked of his flawless genius by whatever this freak is. He explodes in fury, steaming of anger as he shouts pressing multiple switches. ''I'll show you the genius of Doctor Eggman!''
The other arm of the Death Egg takes aim at Yammy, charging up a massive beam. Yammy turns and grins going to tank that stupid-
Suddenly a thin green beam blasts through the arm and explodes. Eggman staggers in shock with Yammy complaining madly. ''AH COME ON! I had this crap piece of metal!''
''We're under orders, Yammy. Remember that.'' Shadow and Yugi both widen their eyes in shock to hear that voice. They look as if appearing out of thin air is Ulquiorra, being the one to blast and destroy the other arm.
''That guy…'' Shadow mutters angrily, not able to forget this ''man'' and their unfinished fight. Yugi, however, stares calm yet serious recalling the pain he put on not just himself but Erika and most of all Ichigo.
''W-what was-'' Eggman utters not following but immediately is interrupted by Ulquiorra, telling him unemotional. ''My apologies human, you're in our way.''
''That means BEAT it!'' Yammy shouts, swinging his arm forward and firing a powerful Bala blast. It tears through the front of the Death Egg Robot but also sends it flying into the sky.
''AH COME ON!'' Eggman screams sent flying away. Ruby and Weiss drop their jaws of terror. Ryan and Mew Erika notice that and rushes over with the scorpion Mew Mew having a bad feeling.
However the moment Eggman was defeated, the robotized Karakura Town reverts back to normal in an instant but the clouds are still darkened by regular black clouds.
Yugi watches and quickly enough reaches for the handle of his sword, knowing these two are not any foes he should hold anything back.
''Ulquiorra-kun!'' Ulquiorra startles as he turns to face the tricolor head staring at him. He scoffs, surprised once more; another human knowing his name without ever addressing. Bizarre but at least he has nothing to hide from him. He faces the tricolor head and announces calmly, his hands in his pocket pants. ''We meet again, Dragon Knight.''
The young Dragon Knight glares calmly, his Yin-Yang Dragon eyes active. He hopes everyone else is okay compared to them.
Berry and Ringo are amazed as Wizard walks over. Alicia is just glad this is over as she declares. ''Okay! Time to help the others.''
Wizard just nods as the group prepares to leave until Alicia startles. The rider turns to see Neo Metal standing up once more, his eyes blinking but still glowing red.
''You will not get past-'' The robot begins to proclaim until something suddenly kicks Metal so hard it sends him flying off, crashing into multiple buildings before landing hard in the outskirts of Karakura. Metal grunts as it has a temporary shutdown.
''What the…'' Alicia mutters as she and everyone else were taken back by what had just happened. Ichigo, however, slowly widens her eyes to see this figure before them. Her skin has just turned pale and her body is trembling.
The dust clears to reveal it is Grimmjow, grinning like a wild animal. Of all people it had to be the crazy guy who wants Kurosaki so badly and not befriend but to murder.
''Oh no…'' She tells herself of all the people they could be fighting against, it had to be this guy. Grimmjow has been looking for Kurosaki but when he spotted that stupid looking robot of that blue fur that got in his way, he wanted to kick it and kill it. Shame it was a robot. But boy did he grin staring at Ichigo with the Skitty in her arms panicking, unable to see this person but sensing such malicious evil.
''OI!'' Grimmjow begins to greet the group as he still grins wildly towards Ichigo. ''I was looking for Kurosaki but I'll gladly take one Ichigo for another!''
Ichigo just stares horrified, blanking out as she's instantly reminded of Mew Blackberry. This couldn't be the worst timing.
Team Dragon Knight fights back to take back Karakura and manages but now the Espada have made their move. Of all the times for this to happen. Will they defeat their opponents before time runs out?
To be continued…

Next Time…
Team Dragon Knight began taking back Karakura Town with Metal Sonic defeated and Eggman remaining. However, when things are looking good, it doesn't as the 3 Espada watching our heroes have made their move with Eggman eliminated. Yugi must now confront the overwhelming Ulquiorra once again while Haruto/Wizard must deal with the vicious Grimmjow and lose badly as his remaining mana is running out. Watching terrified as even Berry and Ringo tried to do their best, Ichigo soon must overcome her despair cracking or else all hope is lost.
Jonouchi: SO… We won and-
Multiple Hollows appear out of thin air.
Ed: … Jinx us much.
Sailor Moon frowns: I can feel much more terrifying beings closeby.
Naruto: Wait, terrifying beings. Hey, could it be those Hollow Human guys?
Jonouchi: … Crap!
Sonic: Well we know what's going to happen. Next time in Yu-Gi-Oh! Dragon Knight Reborn: Terror of the Espada Act V! A Sweet Heart's Hope!
Judai: Please remember to read, enjoy and review. See you all next time. And hopefully Ichigo-chan will get her chance to do this bit too.
Author's Note: Surprised about which Ichigo I was referring about hehe... I sure was!
Just revealing it all about Ichigo's hesitation to fight again had to be done for many reasons and sorry it took this long to do it but I feel like it had to be done this late. Plus a personal touch this is something between Ichigo and Alicia.
Just happy to play with Metal Sonic… and he gets wrecked by Haruto/Wizard. Yea pretty anticlimactic for this- Oh wait, we're not done.
Oh and here we thought Robotnik would be the last boss but nope, the Espada have other plans or rather Aizen has other plans.
Expect the epic return of why the Espada are dangerous to fight.
