Here's where we start getting to the major battle. I'm trying to make it where everyone has to depend on the other to defeat Dalor. I kinda find it annoying when the main hero has to be "the one" to save the day. Has anyone ever tried having the group work together as a team and depend on the other? I rarely ever see that with Yu-Gi-Oh. Yami always has to be the one saving the day and the only time when it isn't just him is pretty much Yu-Gi-Oh Millennium World and that's only because he had his priests, his friends, and some other friends working with him to defeat Zorc. That was why I loved that part so much, because it no longer depended on just Yami like Yu-Gi-Oh Duelist or Yu-Gi-Oh Shadow Games. The anime is just as bad, especially the fillers, not counting the Virtual Reality episodes. It's time each person was given a job to do and depend on each other to get the one job done. Review please!
Mokuba watched his friends leave in two groups to Dalor's territory. Judai and Yubel were to lead their group straight North while the rest of Mokuba's friends moved Northwest. Mokuba gave his friend's group the healing dagger, since he figured they'd need it during their battle, being lower skilled than Judai's group. Mkalburti was to gather the mermaids to head Northeast on Dalor's territory. He was given the golden apple for this mission.
Mokuba rode on one of the ships, given to him by Judai, with Pharaoh Seth and Seto with him. Mokuba knew gathering more items would weaken Dalor and not just because of the number coming out to attack. Hopefully, this would be enough to defeat Dalor and win this Shadow Game, so they can return home and Judai's group, Pharaoh Seth, Mkalburti, and the others can rest in peace. Mokuba was already starting to miss home.
The green gem began to glow, then Mokuba turned to the two older men announcing, "Judai has found a trial game along the waterfall this way!" He pointed a little far Eastern.
"Good. Once we reach there, we'll guard and make sure Dalor's army doesn't reach there," Pharaoh Seth responded.
"Hopefully," Seto added, then looked across the sea.
The trio finally reached land and they walked on their way toward the direction where Judai had found another trial game. It seemed to be taking a long while to reach the waterfall. Mokuba was sure it would not take long to reach there. Though, he sensed that he might run into trouble along the way.
Outside of the San-Si World, Mokuba moved his character, Pharaoh Seth, and Seto toward a curtain waterfall square, holding a smirk upon his face. He had already thought out a plan that could possibly defeat Dalor and win this game. Mokuba hoped this plan would work and he could save his friends. Dalor seemed to not be hesitating, giving Mokuba some sort of unsure feeling.
"My characters are about to unleash an attack on you, Dalor!" Mokuba glared.
"Hm... so it seems. How do you know this foolish little plan is going to work, dear Mokuba?" Dalor asked confidently.
"Because I'm the Capsule Monsters champion, where I come from, and this works just like Capsule Monsters," Mokuba smirked in reply.
"We shall see," Dalor said, then looked at the board. "My Dark Knights will attack your friends first."
Mokuba glared in response, trying to hold back the nerve-wrecking fear in his gut. When it came to fighting, he knew that the levels of skills and strength each player held was undefinable. That was the difference between Capsule Monsters and San-Si. With San-Si, the levels of curtain players depended on the skills they were currently good at. Even when leveling up low skilled players, the conclusion of the fight was still undefinable. Mokuba had to hope that his friends were strong enough to defeat Dalor's army.
Mokuba's friends, including Solomon and Professor Hawkins, were heading Northwest on Dalor's territory. They heard some sort of galloping of horses. Everyone froze in place and turned to the direction where the noise was coming from. Most of everybody had a bad feeling about that sound.
"I don't like the sound of that," Yami said with glaring eyes.
"I couldn't agree with you more," Professor Hawkins replied.
An army of knights in black armor galloped on their black horses toward the gang. They all gasped and got out their San-Si Capsules and launched their monsters from their San-Si Launchers. A bunch of San Monsters appeared and most of the group got out their weapons. Joey got out his bow and arrow and began hiding behind a rock, using it as a shield, then started aiming and shooting. Tea got out two daggers and knelt down to find a good area to began her attack. Yami brought out his sword and started attacking the men up front, stealing one of the horses.
At that moment, everyone was rather attacking with the skills they learned at Judai's castle or defending themselves. Tea climbed up a tree, and then dropped down, stabbing one of the knights on the neck before kicking him off his horse. Tea began riding the horse like a pro, learning this skill from staying at Judai's castle. Yugi was trying to figure out how to start his attack when he was picked up, by the collar of his uniform, by one of the knights.
"GET OFF!" Yugi cried out, even though he knew that would not solve anything and the strength from his tiny body would not be enough to fight off the knight.
"You shall parish, small fry!" The Dark Knight said in a dark sinister voice.
"I don't think so!" Yugi responded bravely, grabbing a hold of his jacket, then taking it off, while still on hold, before kicking the horse. The horse neighed in pain before falling sideways. Yugi and the knight began sword fighting, trying to attack the other. Yugi kept his eyes focused, so he wouldn't be stabbed by his enemy's weapon.
Tristan was trying to shoot down most of the army with a bow and arrow. This was starting to get tiring and he was running out of arrows. Aiming was harder here during the fights than archery. At least with archery, the targets stood still. He kept wondering how deer hunting with this thing was possible.
Before that mystery could be solved, Tristan found one of the Dark Knights behind him with a blade up to the back of his neck. Fear began overshadowing the young boy as he slowly stood up.
"Time for you to die!" The Dark Knight said before being knocked down by another horse and killed on sight. Tristan sighed in relief to find Tea on that horse with a determined smirk on her face.
"I think you're gonna need a horse!" Tea said as Tristan nodded, then climbed on the horse behind Tea before they both rode toward the other Dark Knight army.
"Are you kids okay?" Professor Hawkins asked, being found riding on one of the Dark Knight's black horses.
"How the heck did you steal one of those?" Tristan asked.
"I was one of the main pros in Archery back in High School!" Professor Hawkins replied.
"Go figure!"
"I need help over here!" Yami cried out, slaying more Dark Knights with his sword while riding on one of the horses.
"On it!" Professor Hawkins replied, taking his bow and arrow and shooting two knights in one hit by the necks. They both fell to the ground, leaving their horses galloping away to the great beyond.
A dragon happened to fly overhead, shooting blazes of fire as Yami galloped away to avoid the attack. Everyone else screamed in fear while Yami seemed very annoyed. He glared daggers at the dragon before galloping to Joey's location and jumping to the ground next to him.
"I need to borrow your bow and arrow!" Yami said as Joey looked at him in confusion while giving him the weapon.
Yami aimed and shot his arrow at the dragon toward the neck as it roared in pain and annoyance. Both Yami and Joey ran out of the way from the dragon's attack as the dragon began flying below. Yami took this opportunity to grab a hold of the dragon by the scales, while it was flying, and climb up it to the back of the neck. The dragon roared and swished from left to right, trying to yank Yami off it.
Yugi was still sword fighting with one of the Dark Knights, who managed to use the blade to cut across Yugi's back. Yugi screamed in pain before rolling on the ground, cringing in pain. The Dark Knight ran to Yugi to stab him in the heart, but not before he used his own sword to avoid the attack, then stab the Dark Knight through the chest. Yugi rolled over in pain, feeling the blood oozing out from his back.
"Help!" Yugi cried, wailing in pain.
"Yugi!" Tea cried out, galloping to Yugi's side, then jumping from the horse. She lifted Yugi up, taking out the healing dagger, but not before looking behind her at Tristan's direction. "You go fight with the others! I'll heal Yugi!"
"Right!" Tristan nodded, then galloped away.
Tea used the healing dagger to cut through where Yugi was cut at. He screamed, then his wound healed very quickly. Tea looked at Yugi, sitting him upright.
"Are you okay?" Tea asked.
"I am now," Yugi replied as Tea showed a soft smile, staring into his eyes, before Yugi brought out his sword to avoid the attack being unleashed from behind Tea by another knight. Yugi pushed Tea out of the way before slicing the enemy from the neck. The Dark Knight fell to the ground before Yugi, blood oozing from its neck. He turned to Tea's direction. "Focus Tea, this isn't a romance adventure story!"
Joey was able to shoot out the last Dark Knight before they were all found dead on the ground. He and the others sighed deeply in relief that it was finally over. Of course, Solomon and some of the others were wounded from the fight and needed the healing blade to heal their wounds. Non of them were dead. Yugi suspected that Dalor was probably testing them, since this wasn't the big fight.
"Is everyone okay?" Tristan asked.
"We're fine, it looks like!" Professor Hawkins replied happily as Yugi ran over to his grandpa to heal his wounds with the healing blade.
"Hey wait, has anyone seen the Pharaoh?" Joey asked as they all heard a dragon roar and noticed the dragon that attacked them earlier landing perfectly on the ground.
"Somebody looking for me?" Yami asked with a gaming smirk on his face, riding on the back of the dragon.
"You can ride that thing?" Joey asked, looking extremely freaked out.
"By this time, nothing surprises me!" Tristan chuckled, shaking his head.
"Well, aren't you full of surprises, your highness," Tea teased with folded arms. "Since when can you ride dragons?"
"I'm just that awesome," Yami replied with a huge smirky grin on his face as everyone laughed while rolling their eyes. "Seriously, I have no idea! It just came to me. I think I rode dragons 3000 years ago."
"Then, you're gonna let me ride on it!" Yugi smirked, running up to his partner, then grabbed a hold of his hand to be lifted up onto the dragon behind him.
"Anyways, we should keep going. At least we have more weapons and a few horses for us. We'll be able to ride faster," Professor Hawkins said.
"Great idea, Professor. Yami can also ride faster on that big ol' dragon thing!" Joey smirked, pointing his thumb at the dragon.
"Then, let's move out!" Yugi cried aloud in victory.
