All of the dragons were on edge.

Suddenly, they all took off and out of sight over some trees that were nearby.

Yugi shot a desperate glance at Ookami and Hyou. They had exactly the same look on their faces.

"Sora doesn't usually react in that way.....It must be something bad...." Ookami said, her voice drifting.

Hyou could only manage a nod.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, Kibou appeared, flying on Iris. She swooped down and hovered above the ground.

"I've just seen Sora, Sukai and Bast fly over there. What's going on? What's happened???" Kibou asked, her face full of confusion.

"We don't know!" Yugi explained.

"They just flew off, no warning!"

Kibou looked out to where the three dragons had disappeared.

"Climb aboard" She instructed.

"I'll get you to your dragons"

Yugi and the two girls climbed up Iris's tail and sat behind Kibou (When you spend most your time with dragons, I would imagine you would be able to learn how to climb their tails. Somehow).

Iris was bigger than Sukai, as Sukai was younger, and Yugi had a slightly hard time adjusting.

Iris soon covered the area that separated them from their dragons. Iris perched on a large rock that overlooked a meadow, on which all four could see the three dragons, snarling at a group of trees nearby. Ookami, Hyou and Yugi jumped down Iris and ran down the slope toward their dragons. When Yugi reached Sukai, he had questions/

"Sukai! Sukai What's wrong??? Please tell me!!!" Yugi pleaded.

Sukai turned to him and snarled. Yugi jumped back, surprised.

'STAY BACK' she seemed to shout at him.

'STAY AWAY!'

"S-Sukai?" Yugi stammered, still surprised and somewhat hurt. Sukai had never turned on him like this.

She turned away. To Kibou's dismay Iris flew down and landed next to Bast, and started growling aswell.

The three girls and Yugi watched as the trees began to shake and out emerged a dragon, as dark as a shadow....

Ramses!!!!

But where was Yami?

Yugi looked for him behind the four dragons but couldn't spot him. Ramses slinked back slightly and growled back at the four dragons that faced him.

That's when it happened.

As quick as a wink, Ramses lunged, aimed straight at Bast. The two dragons clashed and they fought furiously, claws exposed, teeth bared at each other. Sora, Sukai and Iris then lunged at Ramses in bid to protect Bast. Ramses turned to the three dragons that were headed toward him and lunged back at them.

Ramses bit down hard on Sukai's neck and she gave a shriek. He threw her across the meadow space and turned suddenly turned round, raking his claws in Sora's face. Bast had manage to recover and was now attempting to attack Ramses again, while he was occupied with attacking Iris.

Meanwhile, Yugi and the girls had been trying to stop what was unfolding, but to no avail. When Sukai had been thrown across the meadow, it had finally dawned on them at how powerful and how serious this fight was. They would have to alert The Mage, but there was no way of getting to the Mage, without flying, but of course, their dragons were fighting...

Suddenly, Rayne and Sakura flew past, with Pyre and Yumi. They landed on the ridge that circled the meadow, before dismounting their dragons, their faces full of horror. Yugi saw them and tried to run over.

"Call the Mage!" He shouted

"Call the mage and get help!"

Rayne and Sakura seemed to understand and where about to mount Pyre and Yumi, when they too started to growl, and flew down to the fight on the meadow, and where soon lost in the flurry. Sakura and Rayne looked at each other in dismay. They were powerless. As where Ookami, Hyou, Kibou and Yugi.

What was Yami planning?

Did Yami set Ramses up to this?

What would this achieve, other than pain for the dragons?????

Yugi's head swam with questions.

And truth be told, he was scared.

Sukai never acted like this. Not ever.

Over the course of the next half hour, more and more dragons got involved as more and more people flew over to see what was happening. It was terrible.

Quite a few dragons had already been terribly hurt, some maybe even permantly.

Tatsuya, Roka, Shion, Hikaru, Riku, Regaldon, Siberia Mueko all looked on helplessly as their dragons battled it out with each other. All of this caused by that dark dragon. Yugi knew it was only time before the mage knew. It was out of their hands now.

And, as if by magic, there was a loud roar that shattered the skies. Everything went silent.

The dragons stopped fighting and the people stopped shouting. In the distance came the sound of heavy beating wings.

The sky went dark and above everyone's heads, the Mage and his mighty dragon swooped down. No one had ever seen his dragon. It was array of power and magic. It was totally white, just like and Ice dragon, but along its tail and across its wings were bight green Japanese symbols, just like the Mage's sword.

It swooped down and landed in the middle of the battle field, letting out another ear splitting cry.

Bloodied dragons took a long look at the mighty dragon before them. And then, one by one, they all bowed before the dragon. It was the mightiest of dragons and it demanded respect. It was also the biggest. The only dragon that did not bow was Ramses.

The large white dragon looked deep into Ramses eyes, with its piercing green ones.

With a shake of his head, Ramses growled and took off into the red sky and into the distance.

The mage and his dragon stayed a few seconds more, looking where Ramses had disappeared to and then himself, took off.

All then returned to normal. Well, I say normal....

It was as if the magnificent dragon had not just been in the field.

Dragons returned to their riders and slowly left the meadow. Yugi ran to Sukai.

"SUKAI!! ARE YOU O.K?????" Yugi shouted, running to his dragon.

'I'm so sorry Yugi.....'

'That's O.K' Yugi thought to his dragon.

'As long as you're O.K....'

But before Yugi could get the message across, Sukai let out a large cry and collapsed on her side, and Yugi felt a sharp pain in his stomach.....

Sukai had fought with all her might, maybe even to the death.....
