Wow, thanks for the response for the last chapter, but of course, dragon riders are still welcome . Just a notice, to the author that wanted to be Regaldon, you never told me the name of your dragon. Just PM me . O.K, so Yugi's now in training for the eerrr...can't give too much away. HA! You thought you'd won didn't you Gaara'sLittleAngel94Xx, by me telling you the plot. Soz, as I told you before, you can't get it out of me. Better luck next time :p.

I'm still looking for two OC's to be the heads of Earth. Why doesn't anybody like this element? Wolves have this element. *sniff*

Now, onto the story...

EgyptianShadowWolf xXx

Yugi looked down at his rota for today.

"Training, training, training, rest, training, training and...training" Yugi finalised to Sukai.

Sukai lifted what seemably should have been her eyebrow (dragons I would assume, have no eyebrows. I don't think).

"Not a lot then" Yugi said sarcastically.

'We'll get through it. You complained before that we weren't getting enough. Now you're saying it's too much.' Sukai seemed to laugh at this.

"Hmm" was all Yugi could say.

He and Sukai took off and headed toward the first training arena of the day. Each department had a way of battling.

Fire used head on attacks, Ice used more Element attacks, Earth used surprise attacks, Spirit used spiritual attacks, Water used quick attacks and wind used air attacks, attacking from directly above. Yugi had to learn all of them.

It was daunting come to think of it. But, as Sukai said, they would get through it. It was alright for the heads. They had done all their training and qualified, and they were the best of their kind, which made them the head, obviously.

The Mage though, was a completely different story. It was said that the Mage was so powerful, that even if all the Heads of each department teamed up and attacked him, he would take them down. And not even break into a sweat. Of course, Yugi had never seen him fight. He had never even seen his dragon.

Rumours had it that his dragon was dead. Others said it was hidden within the elements, waiting for when the Mage was in great danger, then save him. One ridiculous rumour even said that the Mage had had a battle in the past with an evil sorcerer. He defeated the sorcerer, but he had put a curse on The Mages dragon and that if it showed its face to the world again, the world would end, so the dragon had to go into hiding.

Yugi didn't really believe any of these. There had to be an appropriate explanation.

Yugi focused again as Sukai landed. But it took him a few seconds to realise that they were not at their suppose destination.

"Eeerrr...Sukai, we're supposed to be at the Wind element training ring" Yugi said.

'I know, but I heard something down here' Sukai said back, looking into a group of trees she had landed by.

Yugi dismounted and stared deeply into the trees. He could just make out a shape. It was the shape of a graceful dragon, as black as the night. It suddenly moved coming toward him.

Yugi backed up a few paces, keeping his distance. Yugi had been right about the dragon. A large black dragon suddenly came into full view, with Yami on the back.

Sukai growled slightly behind Yugi. Ramses growled back in reply. Yugi realised this was the first time that Ramses and Sukai had met, so light vs. Dark was running through their minds right now. Yugi stood more in front of Sukai.

Yami dismounted Ramses.

"I heard you were in a spot of bother with an earth dragon. You O.K?" Yami asked. Innocent enough.

"Yeah. Seems so" was all Yugi replied. He still didn't know what to think of Yami. Yami nodded.

"Where you headed now?"

"To the Wind element training ring"

"What for? I thought Sukai was a Light dragon"

"She is. I'm training at all arena for the...for something" Yugi had to correct himself. He didn't want to let slip that Yami was the reason for a feud that had developed amongst the armies.

Yami smiled at Yugi.

"Best be on your way then"

"Yeah" Yugi quickly climbed back on Sukai, Sukai still staring at Ramses and they took off, faster than they usually did. Yugi quickly looked behind him to see Yami and Ramses still looking at them.

Sukai flew faster until they reached the training ring. Sukai was a little out of breath when she landed which had Shion and Hikaru questioning. Yugi then had no time to concentrate on what happened as Shion and Hikaru put him straight to work, demonstrating fighting techniques with each other, and how to deal the most damage.

Yugi couldn't quite grasp it at first but found that with, practice, he was getting better. Before long, his training had finished. Yugi looked back at his rota. Ice was next. It was lucky, as he needed to talk to them. He flew over to the Ice area and saw them circling the arena.

Once he was near enough, he was quick on the ball. He wanted to know more about this 'war' that was coming up.

Ookami and Hyou smiled as he neared.

"Hey Yugi, how you doin'?" Ookami asked, circling round Sukai.

"Yeah, fine. There's a few things I wanna know" Yugi said quickly.

Ookami and Hyou looked at each other.

"We best land" Hyou advised.

Once they had landed, Yugi was quick with the questions again.

"Is it true that all the armies are against us?" Yugi asked.

Ookami and Hyou looked at each other again.

"Well, not all of them"

"Who's with us then?"

"So far, only one army is with us. That's the Kodai Ryu. They don't like the fact that other armies have reacted in this way."

Yugi looked down.

"We don't stand a chance" He mumbled to himself.

"Hey, don't say that! We always have a shot" Ookami and Hyou reassured him.

Suddenly, Sora, Bast and Sukai all growled looking in the same direction. The three of them loked around.

"What's going on?" Yugi asked.

'He's here. He's here...' was all Sukai could manage.
