Sorry I haven't updated for a very long time now, I just haven't got round to it, or have had no inspiration what so ever. O.K, so, in the last chapter, Yugi got knocked unconscious by an unknown dragon. I know what my mates are thinking. Those are some big words for me. Lol. I'm just starting up a deviantart account, and some things relating to my stories will be on there. Eventually. I know some of you have requested longer chapters, and I will try my best but my laptop has a different idea about having long chapters, and seems to think that spreading the chapter along 4 pages will be long enough. Unfortunately, it's not. O.K, I'm blabbing now. I'll stop before I bore you. :)

Yugi slowly opened his eyes, breaking from the darkness that surrounded him.

At first, all he could see was white, but his eyes then focused at his surroundings. He then realised he was staring at a white ceiling, and that he was in a white bed.

Yugi pushed his top half off the bed with his arms, but pain shot through his body, making him cry out, and fall back against the bed.

"Hey, take it easy" a voice said, a hand resting on his shoulder. Yugi looked to his left.

It was Kibou.

He looked ahead of him to see Hyou and Ookami glancing anxiously at him.

Yugi sighed, but his rib cage hurt.

"Where am I?" Yugi murmured, his hand going to his head, a sudden headache on the horizon.

"You're in the hospital. You took a bad fall. Can't you remember?" Ookami asked, getting more panicked.

"Ookami, calm down. Try to remember Yugi" Kibou said softly, turning to Yugi, her hand still on his shoulder.

Yugi thought back, before the darkness. He remembered talking to Rayne and then leaving the Fire department. He tried to remember more, but his head hurt too much. Yugi clenched his teeth in response.

"Hey, it's O.K. You need rest. You gave us quite a scare back there." Kibou half smiled and straightened up, taking her hand off Yugi's shoulder.

Yugi glanced round more. He then noticed he was strapped to a couple of large machines, measuring his heart rate (and whatever else those scary large machines do. I'm not a nurse, I wouldn't know ).

Yugi was in his own world when he heard a dragon roar in the distance. It may have been a spirit dragon. It sounded like one. Then he remembered. He remembered everything. Flying toward Kibou, Hyou and Ookami, and an earth dragon suddenly hitting him and Sukai. Wait.

"SUKAI!" Yugi suddenly shouting, sitting bolt upright, but regretting it as pain ripped through his entire body. Yugi once again collapsed against his pillows with a weak cry. He had to stop doing that.

"Yugi! Lay still! Sukai's fine. Shaken up, but fine." Hyou, who spoke for the first time, reassured him.

"I want to see her" Yugi mumbled.

"Yugi, dragons can't come into the hospital, you know that" Hyou said.

"Anyway, you're forgetting, you can communicate with her. Through your mind." Ookami pointed out.

Yugi then tried to speak to Sukai. As soon as he did, however, his head throbbed badly, causing him to stop. As soon as he did stop, it went away. He tried again. The same result. Yugi started to panic. Why couldn't he contact her?

His face must have gave something away, because when he looked properly at the girls, they all had looks of concern on them.

"Well?" Hyou prompted.

"I-I can't contact her" Yugi was panicking majorly, and he felt he wanted to cry. This was too much.

"I'll go get Sora and see if we can find her. Don't worry Yugi, I'm sure there's a perfect explanation for this." Ookami said, heading for the door. Just before she went through it, The Mage appeared at the door, out of thin air. Ookami backed off slightly, giving her grandfather some room to pass, before running out the door.

The mage walked swiftly to the bed in which Yugi was laying. Kibou and Hyou both looked at each other before making their excuses and leaving. There was then a silence between the two. Yugi couldn't think of anything to say to the Mage. What was there to say?

Yugi figured, that by the look on the Mage's face, that he was disappointed. Yugi was a failure. He wasn't a good dragon rider, and that he shouldn't have been knocked out the air like that. That he should have seen the earth dragon headed his way. This made Yugi feel depressed.

"We've found the dragon who knocked you out the sky. It had no rider with it, so we suspect that it's a spy dragon from that army" The Mage said, looking at the machines.

Yugi lifted his head a little.

"What do you mean 'that' army? What are you talking about?" Yugi asked, slightly confused (Ha ha, I bet you all are!).

The Mage sighed.

"Ever since your friend joined..." He started.

"He's not my friend" Yugi mumbled, folding his arms.

The Mage paused for a second before continuing.

"Well, since he joined, the other armies have been getting edgy. You know the rumours about dark dragons and their riders. They're not happy. They want him out. But I stand by him, as I believe he's not a bad rider. You just need to know him more"

Yugi still had his doubts.

"Anyway, I believe Ookami and Hyou told you, the Syoku Ryu is in danger. The armies have turned against us. All of them I believe. It's lucky we are the strongest army, but we may not be able to hold all of them off."

Yugi's eyes widened.

"Why are you telling me all of this?" Yugi asked quietly.

"Because we need you Yugi. You won't believe the amount of people effected when they'd heard you had been knocked unconscious. I had to see for myself if you were O.K." The Mage said softly.

Yugi looked at the duvet covering him.

"You need to train hard. Harder than you ever have done, to help us have a fighting chance in this war. The two head dragon riders will train you and Sukai to the best of their abilities, to help you against all elements. Ookami, Hyou, Kibou, Rayne, Sakura, Tatsuya, Roka and the rest."

Tatsuya and Roka were the two heads of water department, with their dragons, Aoi and Knox.

The Mage then got up and moved out the door, as swiftly as ever.

Yugi walked out of the two clear doors, as healthy as ever. He had healed well and was ready for training. He saw Sukai and ran to her, climbing on her back, before taking off.

He flew high above the training centre, all dragon riders and dragons watching him. He was then joined by the leaders of each department, and as they flew above all the training centre, a loud cheer from all the dragon riders rose up, celebrating.

From a dark crevice, a pitch black dragon watched Yugi and the others flying, through slightly squinted yellow eyes. Ramses let a deep growl rumble in his throat before breathing a flame of fire and taking off in the opposite direction...
