[Super Hero Time]

Amy: What's up readers, It has occurred to shuriken16 that the views for this story dropped considerably. All the while, the views for Movie War Wing have risen. He now thinks that it wasn't a bright idea to make everyone read Wing just for the small plot hole left in between chapters. He's going to fix that as soon as he finishes writing this chapter. With that said, let's jump in.

[EDO 1610, two days later…]

The White Tiger Yume Oni hopped from tree to tree in this small forest, smelling the very strong scent of blood in the air. Making it to his destination, he finds the source of the smell.

"Is that you Byakko?"

"Brother… What have you done?" Byakko hopped out of the tree to confront the other Yume Oni. The other one, was completely Black, with red striped arms and legs; the Black Tiger Yume Oni.

"I was ambushed, so I killed him. Damn Samurai." The Yume Oni clutched his injured arm.

"Are you hurt?"

"No, it's just a scratch, I'll survive. More importantly, what's the info you get on this 'Full-Scale' attack that Kyubi told you about?"

"It seems that our leaders are planning on gathering enough soldiers to launch an assault during the full moon; they're planning on killing everyone in one night. At the same time, after the reports of the 'Mysterious Red-eyed Man,' taking out their spies the other night, I have the suspicion that we might be dealing with Ninjas as well."

"Well isn't that dandy. There has to be a way to end all of this, more lives will be lost if both sides keep going back and forth like this."

"I know what you mean." Hosokawa said walking up to them. "It's been a while, Byakko, Kurotora."

"Likewise lord Daimyo. What are you doing here of all places?"

"Getting some fresh air." He replied. "Being cooped up in my office is such a bore. I'm a fighter at heart, not a scroll-pusher."

"Daimyo…" Kurotora spoke up. "Did you order Ninja to attack the other night?"

"No, I haven't. Why do you ask?"

"The soldiers who were murdered, there were ninja tools left at the scene. The soldiers ironically, were from our side, so they were spies, most likely out to kill you or the Shogun."

"Well then why bring it up?"

"Because… if Ninja are involved then our leaders will compensate with the number of soldiers and the tactics that follow." Byakko answered quickly.

"Well now, you don't suppose there'd be a fifth Yume Oni on your side do you?" Hosokawa asked.

"A fifth member… We don't know of any such thing." Kurotora replied.

"Well in that case, I should introduce myself then…"

A whirlwind suddenly stirred up over the dead Samurai's body as he stood up, unharmed. He took the armor off, revealing to be the same man from the other night.

"Who are you…?" Hosokawa asked.

"I am known as Jouichi Katsuragi, of the Katsuragi clan of Shinobi."

"I've heard of the Katsuragi Clan, they're powerful Shinobi, masters of deception and extremely well fighters."

"That's flattering to say." Jouichi commented. "However, flattery isn't going to get you out of death…" Jouichi spun a kunai in his hand and charged the Daimyo.

Byakko and Kurotora got in front and blocked the knife strike.

"You two are fast." Jouichi smirked.

"However, they're not as fast as I am…" Hosokawa brought his sword across Jouichi's back, the blood staining the blade.

"Shoot, I missed. He's faster." Hosokawa noticed.

"That was a close one, that's for sure." Jouichi said as he stood in the tree above them.

"Just what do you want?" Byakko asked.

Jouichi held eight fingers up. "Eight volunteers."

"Eight…?"

"Volunteers…?"

"I just may have the key to help destroy the war, if not suspend it for a while."

"And what is that supposed to be, what plan do you have to do something nearly impossible?" Kurotora snapped.

Jouichi smirked. "If it worked on me, then it should work on you too; my idea is…"

Jouichi's body mutated into a Red and Black Armored Dragon; His armor was similar to a Ninja, including the weapon belt and the two Katanas on his back. The trio on the ground looked on at him, awestruck and quite scared in fact.

"A jutsu… that fuses Humans and Yume Oni together…"

Chapter 24: Ancient History: The Legendary 5

"A Jutsu that fuses Humans… and Yume Oni together?" Kurotora repeated

"Well now; they don't call the Katsuragi Clan the best for nothing." Hosokawa said. "So then, why do you plan on doing this?"

"Because, like you all, I want to see that everyone gets out alive. And unfortunately, siding with our enemies seems like the best bet we have."

"You mentioned that you have they key that'll beat this war." Byakko mentioned. "Does this also mean that the opposing sides are really going to have an all-out attack on each other?"

Jouichi nodded. "By fusing with the Yume Oni, I have the ability to switch sides, acting as a spy for both of them. After about a month, I can safely say that both sides are preparing an attack between dusk and dawn."

"Of today?" Hosokawa tried to confirm.

Jouichi nodded.

"I won't allow that then!"

"Too bad, whatever you do, it's not going to get through the one leading the Human side."

"Leading the…? Who's doing that?"

"I've said too much. If I say anymore, then my mission will be in vain. Do you want my help or not?"

Hosokawa turned to Byakko and Byakko nodded in agreement.

"We're in." Byakko replied.

"Are you serious brother!" Kurotora snapped.

"Don't you want an end to all of this bloodshed?" Byakko asked. "This could be our only chance to attain peace."

"I refuse to become some hybrid with a Human! This is absurd!"

Kurotora turns and walks off. "I'll find my own way to help win this war…"

"Brother, wait!" Byakko called out, to no avail.

"Well then. I'll be here until sunset. Find six volunteers and I can perform the Jutsu. Hopefully we can get into the battlefield before it gets worse.

Byakko and Hosokawa nodded and took off in different directions.

Jouichi laid back on the tree branch and folded his hands behind his head.

"That means you two fox girl." Jouichi closed his eyes.

The Fox Yume Oni realized that she was spotted and ran off.

A young man awakens in a room, bandaged from his collarbone and part of his ribs as well, as a young woman, about sixteen, kneels next to his futon, pouring him tea.

"Thank You Megumi." The man said as he took a sip of it.

"Not a problem, Onii-san." Megumi smiled. She walked towards the door and slid it open, revealing a garden with a small pond on the outside. She watched the baby ducks swim to and fro in the water as she smiled at their merriment.

"I'm actually surprised, your injuries are much better off than normal." Megumi said.

The man stared at the ceiling and thought about the events from the past two days…

FLASHBACK

"Did you hear me? Leave or be forced to leave?" the Head Samurai repeated.

The man smirked and looked up. "Yes, I'm not deaf. And no, I'm not leaving; you can't make me leave."

"And why the hell not;" He snapped. He drew his katana and readied himself. "You're going to leave, or we'll have to take extreme measures!"

The man then opened his crimson red eyes. "In that case, so will I…"

He ran through into the army, ducking and weaving from the swipes of the Head Samurai, eventually disarming him. He knocked his Katana into the air and he jumped to catch it. He reached on his belt and casted a stream of Kunai Knives at the others as he dashed through them as soon as he landed; The Head Samurai looked in horror at the man as he wasted away the army with such blinding speed.

"Just what the heck are you…?"

The man laughed and threw the katana back to the Samurai. "The man that just saved your life; be grateful Samurai because this is only the beginning…"

END FLASHBACK

The young Samurai stood up and slid on his robe over his bandages to sit with his sister.

"Our confrontation actually turned out better for me. If it wasn't for that Ninja, I'd probably be dead right now. If only there was a way that I could repay him…"

"Actually there is." Said a male voice.

A flute suddenly played and the wind picked up, as a small tornado started up. Out of the tornado stood a Wolf Yume Oni. He was primarily black, and was dressed in similar attire to that of an armored Samurai, the armor red in color. Instead of a helmet however, he wore a black bandana.

"It's you my old rival." The Samurai said to the Wolf. "It's been at least two years since our last meeting."

"It's nice to see you again Shintaro; Megumi." The Wolf replied.

"What brings you here?" Shintaro asked.

The Wolf Yume Oni whistled causing Byakko and the Fox Yume Oni to appear in the courtyard.

"Our people are in danger." The Wolf replied. "The leaders of both worlds are planning to go to war at dusk. Each side is becoming tired of losing their own kind to the other, so they both decided to hold one final battle. In order to stop this, we've decided to unite with our closest human companions."

"Please join up with Roukan." Byakko said. "You two are master Samurai, combined you should make a unstoppable team."

"What do you mean by unite?" Megumi asked.

"The Ninja that saved your brother has developed a Jutsu that can fuse the life-force of Humans and Yume Oni together, to create a creature known as a Hybrid. The Hybrids are more powerful together than separate and we're hoping that this will demonstrate a sign of unity between the two sides." The Fox Yume Oni answered.

"So can you help us my old friend?" Roukan asked.

"It'd be an honor." Shintaro nodded.

"Hold on." Megumi stepped in. "If it's alright with you I want to help in any way possible."

"Well in that case…" the Fox started. "I don't have a partner yet. And quite frankly, you seem like a human version of me."

Megumi smiled. "Thanks…uh."

"Oh right; I'm sorry." The fox apologized. "My name is Kyubi. It's nice to meet you."

"Like wise."

"Well then I guess it's settled." Byakko said. "Let's rendezvous with the Daimyo; he might've return back to the…post?"

The sky slowly began to darken as the Sun's rays slowly began to decrease.

"Why is it getting dark all of a sudden?" Shintaro asked.

Roukan grew fearful as he realized what was happening. "The dusk…"

"You mean that the dusk was a Solar Eclipse?" Kyubi asked.

"Damn it! What're we going to do now, the armies are probably starting to form as we speak!" Roukan stomped.

Jouichi and Hosokawa appeared just in time.

"Sorry for the abrupt interruption; I wasn't expecting this, but that doesn't mean that we weren't prepared. Meaning, if this is going to happen, it's happening now!"

"Looks like it's now or never, Byakko; you up for it?" Hosokawa asked.

"Always." Byakko nodded.

The group headed inside as the area began to turn darker.

"Right then…" Jouichi began to preform hand signs, only known to his Clan, at the same time concentrating. Once he was done, he slammed his palms onto the floor under him, triggering a barrier that encased the house.

"There, now no one can get in or out of here while this is happening." He said. "Now for the tricky part; fusing six life forms into three separate beings…"

Outside, in the village, Hashimura looks on as a building army of Yume Oni descends from the mysterious eclipse in the sky.

"This is what we trained for men!" Hashimura shouted to his troops. "We've spent countless months and years fighting against these monsters… It's time to once and for all end it now!"

The Samurai shouted in agreement as Hashimura turned back towards the army.

"CHARGE!" He shouted at the top of his lungs. The army then sped forward, to confront the Dream Monsters.

The leader of the army was a Yume Oni based on a Lion, his red body was covered in a black mane and jagged and spiked black armor. He turned to one of his Generals next to him.

"Kill them all."

"Understood Lord Raiga." He saluted. The monsters roared in agreement and returned the charge to the Samurai. Soon afterward the two armies were clashing weapons with each other as soldiers from each side were dropping one by one.

Hashimura and Raiga found themselves in the middle of the two as they dueled alone; the army around them, not conflicting with their movements. They both met on the battlefield before, countless duels; The Shogun vs. the Yume Oni King.

Their own battle continued on as the bodies of their soldiers dropped to the ground. A few hours passed, the two refusing to give up, not realizing that on both sides, either Soldiers were dead or they retreated; not that it mattered to them any.

Their swords locked for a final time as they both tried to push one another back and forth.

"It's destiny it seems…" Raiga commented. "That we will die on this battlefield tonight…"

Hashimura broke the lock between them as they both slid back on the bloody sand under them.

"We will die?" Hashimura asked. He then chuckled. "I'm not going to die."

"Well in that case; I'll just make sure that you do. You're the last thing that's keeping me from succeeding in taking over the human world, Samurai. As the King of the Yume Oni; it's my destiny to obtain what I desire…"

Hashimura looked at him and covered his face with his hand, laughing hysterically.

"In that case…" he removed his hand from his face, revealing his eyes to be bright red, and feline-like. "It's time for you to be overthrown."

King Raiga looked in horror, recognizing the piercing red eyes. "It can't be…"

"Have a safe trip..." Hashimura's blade twitched.

In the next second, he made a horizontal slash with his right hand, which suddenly became black and claw-like.

King Raiga dropped on his knees as Hashimura grabbed his neck. Raiga's body dispersed into Sand, joining with Hashimura's armor, transforming it into something similar to his.

"Now Kurotora…" Hashimura spoke. "Now we have control of the Humans… and the Yume Oni. Let's get to work."

Kurotora materialized next to Hashimura, now being fused with Raiga's lion form giving him a Liger-like appearance.

"Lead the way; Partner…" Kurotora replied.

The two walked off, turning to a village a few miles up. Hashimura snapped his fingers, causing the dead soldiers and the sand covering them to fuse together, creating zombie-like Yume Oni.

"HASHIMURA!" Hosokawa's voice called out from behind him. Hashimura turned, seeing Hosokawa and Byakko behind, breathing heavily.

"Well well, so I guessed you figured out my plan." Hashimura crossed his arms.

"Is this what you meant by 'Taking care of it'?"

Hashimura nodded. "Truth be told, I knew the immense power a fusion of a Human and a Yume Oni could have. I also knew of the Katsuragi Clan, and it's member, Jouichi, the one who designed the Jutsu to create such a fusion. I fused with Kurotora, and I just absorbed the King of the Yume Oni, giving me twice as much power as I had without him."

"But what about in the forest earlier…?" Byakko asked his brother. "You said that you'd never do something like this!"

"That's because I already did it." He replied, shocking his younger brother. "This is my way of finishing the war, by becoming King. I never said anything about ending the bloodshed…"

"Why you…" Byakko's blood began to boil.

"You were my Best Friend…" Hosokawa looked down.

Hashimura smirked. "You are really naïve for a Daimyo, you realize that?"

"Shut up!" Hosokawa snapped. "You're a traitor, and you have no right to address me in such a manner!"

Hashimura glared. "Well now, seeing as I'm a traitor; I can address my target whichever way I feel. You better prepare yourself."

Kurotora fused with his armor, turning him into a Hybrid Yume Oni, similar to the Liger D-Brid, but older armor.

"You ready for this?" Byakko asked.

Hosokawa nodded. "Yes… I am."

Byakko then fused with Hosokawa, as his new Yume Oni form transformed him into a warrior, similar to a Shinobi; he wore a Silver and Green robe and black Hakama pants. Around his waist was a set of Kunai and around his neck was a set of Shuriken as a necklace. On his back was a Katana with a Green Hilt.

"Ready to meet your end little brother…?" Hashimura asked Hosokawa.

"This battle… Will determine everything…"

And with that, the two warriors clashed blades…

[April, 2011]

The results of the Battle that ensured were lost over the years unfortunately… However, throughout the ages, this story of the first five D-Brids were passed down from Generation to Generation for centuries. This story is to give the Guardians of their original powers a background as to what their Ancestors went through to liberate the worlds from an apocalyptic war.

"If you don't mind me asking…" Tyson started. "What does the history of the First Royal Flush Five have to do with us now?"

"I'm glad you asked…" Hashimura smiled. "I decided that it'd be in everyone's best interest, to see whose fit to become the Legendary Five."

The remaining sixteen members all looked up.

"What's that mean?" Misael asked.

"I'm curious to find out, who has the ability to control each Kaishi Deck: the ACE, JACK, QUEEN, KING and JOKER. Separate they have quite a considerable amount of power. But with all four sets combined, they have an extreme amount of cataclysmic power. As the ACE of Spades, I want to see whose fit to wield such power."

"And how do you manage to do that…?"

"Simple; have all of you, fight for the ownership. The rules to my game are quite simple… The first to retrieve all four suits and have the ability to have complete control over them… is going to become one of the Legendary Five. And I should mention the catch, if you haven't figured it out. The decks are all linked to your life-force. Meaning that you manage to have your deck taken from you in a fight, or it's destroyed. Then you'll perish as well."

The room grew quiet.

"Well then…" Tyson stood up from the table.

"KING of Hearts, sit down… I didn't finish." Hashimura glared at Tyson.

"Sorry ACE…" Tyson transformed into the Phoenix D-Brid. Ken and Marissa got the hint and Transformed into their respected forms as well.

"Consider this the Neo Royal Flush Five's resignation."

Hashimura became surprised at their sudden turn. "Well, I should've expected as much. James, Miranda, Mike, Mitsuki. Do as you planned with them. Take their decks while you're at it."

"Yes sir." The trio saluted. Mitsuki forced herself up, however she felt Misael grab her arm.

"You don't have to do this…"

Mitsuki looked at him with an icy cold stare, forcing his grip off.

"HENSHIN!" the four of them then transformed and lunged at the Trio.

Hashimura walked out of the room, as Dominick caught sight of it. He ran after Hashimura soon afterward.

The CLAWs and FANGs reluctantly ran out of the room as it caught on fire.

"Come on Move it! The place's gonna Blow!" Tim shouted as they all charged up the staircase.

They made it out, the basement exploding shaking the building. Fire trucks came blazing down the streets to recover anything that was caught in the wreckage.

Dominick stood with his team, mad that Hashimura escaped as soon as the fight broke out.

"So what are we going to do now?" Will asked.

"Well one thing's for certain…" Josh replied. "Hashimura wants all of the decks."

"He wants to re-create the Legendary Five Warriors." Amy added. "But what will he do once he gains all that power?"

"Do you think it'll be another Shadow Day?" Nolan asked Dominick.

"I hope it is, to be honest. At least we can counter that. But I can't give you a straight answer. We'll just have to go along with his plans and see what happens in the coming months."

"That sounds like the Rookie's need some new Gear then right?" Tim asked.

"New…gear?" Will wondered.

"As in, rather than taking the power of all the decks, let's master expanding the fullest extent on the decks you currently possess." Yuliya explained. "The Hyper Awakening Modes."

It then hit them from weeks before…

FLASHBACK

"KAISER MODE!" The voice played back as the armor covered Nolan.

"You two are up, mind showing the rookies what you guys picked up?"

Tim chuckled. "It's not nice to show off; but if you insist." Tim retrieved his JACK of Diamonds deck and Yuliya, her ACE of Clubs deck.

"HYPER KAKUSEI HENSHIN!" The both of them called out. The decks in their hands dispersed into sand covering Kiba and Kyuki respectively. The duo threw their keys at them, and they naturally responded by biting onto them. Afterward they were slid onto the braces and then on the belts.

"ACE MODE! JACK MODE!" The voices said as they both transformed into their respected Super CLAW Forms. Then the added power from the decks created new armor that went over the existing armor.

Tim's power mode lost the bulky armor, and traded it for lighter and sleeker ruby red armor. The weapons remained on his person, however those were covered in similar attachments. A bandoleer appeared on his torso as the rocket launcher that normally existed on Tim's person, was replaced by a Gatling gun, which was fed by the very bandoleer belt.

Yuliya's Samurai armor dispersed, revealing a kimono-like armor, made similarly to Vanessa's Rider Gear. It was Sky blue and Black, like Samurai Mode, however the Helmet, shrunk, becoming more proportional to the Rider's head. It also became more feminine, the horns of the helmet becoming smaller, and the Armor's blue eyes more visible. Around the mouth piece, a cloth was placed there to add to the design of the gracefulness of the armor. Also her wings from Flight Form, turned black to hide in the armor of the kimono.

END FLASHBACK

"The forms that you guys were able to get while you were gone!" Will exclaimed.

"Exactly; those powers rival Kaiser Mode. With the right amount of training, you guys should able to achieve that and even more…"

"Like what?"

"Don't know yet. But we're not gonna find out just sitting here. Let's get back to the hotel. We leave in the morning, so make sure to get a good night sleep."

"Yes Sir!" The group saluted.

Elsewhere, Tyson, Marissa and Ken drag themselves towards a hotel, their clothes partially burned from the flames in the explosion. They took quite a beating from the Bushido Riders, but they were able to hold their own. With their resignation from Shadow, there were only two options. Join with SADE, or continue to be on the run.

"This could've gone better." Tyson grunted, clutching his weakened torso.

"It was worth it." Ken replied. "At least we're finally done with Shadow."

"And now, since there's nothing holding us back anymore… We can finally help the Riders." Marissa said. "We can finally help the KING of Spades in his fight against Shadow…"

"And even better… I can be finally reunited with my Sister…" Tyson pulled the locket on his neck as he opened it, revealing him as a younger teen, about fourteen, and a younger girl with dirt-blonde hair and a camera around her neck; she was roughly around eleven.

In the hotel room, Jessie opened a Gold locket with the same picture as Sora flapped over her head.

"Who's that?" the Swan beast asked curiously.

"My older brother..." Jessie admitted. "His name was Tyson;"

"Is he…?"

"I don't think so. I saw him today." Jessie replied. "I haven't seen him in years, he moved to Japan two years ago, to study at Tokyo University, and then he went to visit my friend Casey in Miami, during his vacation time. Casey said he got a Job offer and he had to get back to Tokyo."

"I see. Well maybe you'll see him before we leave."

Jessie smiled. "I hope so… I want to talk to him about some things…"
