Anyway, I’m back and I hope that you like that my little explanation from the Signer Dragons about Life Stream Dragon’s and Black-Winged Dragon’s connection to the Crimson Dragon. With what they showed on Yu-Gi-Oh 5ds with both dragons appearing and both dragons having some kind of connection to the Crimson Dragon, I worked out this little ‘back-story’ in which I hope that it was good. Anyway, I’m still not completely sure on pairings at this time, but Naruto/Hinata is going to remain the same through I’m not sure of him having multiple girls in this story, however, Jaden/Alexis is a confirmed couple in this story as I said in the start when I told that Jaden and Alexis from Yu-Gi-Oh GX are going to be part of this story.

Chapter 19: Clash! Crimson Light VS Supreme Dark

Right now, we find ourselves inside of the Leaf Village where we find the former elders of the Leaf Village, Koharu and Homura, assembled with the members of the former civilian council minus Sakura’s mother.

One of the former civilian council asks, “Where is the Haruno?”

Another former councilman replies, with a snort, “She plans to have her daughter try to get the Namikaze and hoping that he will take the CRA since the Hyuga girl has captured his heart.”

A third former council, a woman, says, with a snort, “Foolish. The girl’s heart is set on the Uchiha. I guess that her faith in the Uchiha has lessened or she wants to make up for what that Whirlpool wench did to her by claiming the Fourth Hokage’s heart. I knew that the two of them were romantically interested or they had a son in which she was the container of the fox.”

Koharu says, with a plain tone, “The Fourth Hokage, after the fall of Uzumaki clan, had the clan’s greatest secrets and scrolls move to his clan’s mansion and now, his child has them all of them including ancient secrets of the Shadow Games and the People of the Stars.”

The first former council member that spoke up yells out, “Don’t speak of that brat! It is his fault that we have lost everything! And now, with Tsunade in charge, we shall never get back our power and most likely, if she decides to recreate the civilian council, she will make sure that it is just a puppet government to do what she wants! She is the godmother of the Namikaze!”

Homura says, with a plain tone, “And who’s fault was that? What this village did to them especially all of you gave him the needed ‘sob story’ needed to make him into the victim, which he is in many cases. We only went along to make sure that the Kyuubi container is loyal to this village.”

Koharu says, with a plain tone, “But now, he is loyal to people that he only cares about and he has complete control of the fox’s FULL power not just the yang chakra. He is also a Signer, which means that if we make any move against him, we would be immediately put under suspicion and that will be enough for Tsunade to have us convicted of treason and publicly execute us as traitor to the village.”

There are plenty of gasps and Homura says, with a plain tone, “And Danzo is the one to blame for that fiasco. I knew that he was hiding much, but I didn’t know that he dares to make dealing outside of the village to get the position of Hokage. I tolerated his ROOT, but what he did made us lose everything. The only way we can assure that the work we have done doesn’t go to waste is to influence the Namikaze and I believe that Haruno is going the right way through his daughter.”

The second former councilman that spoke up yells out, “You mean to support that brat?!”

Homura says, with a plain tone, “With the way that things are going, the Namikaze is going to have much influence and power and through him, we can hopefully regain some influence on the politics of the village. If Sarutobi and Tsunade have their way, he is going to become another Fourth Hokage and Kushina Uzumaki combined and you know how both of them were.” The former council members cringe in fear and Homura says, with a nod, “It is agreed. He is still young and that means he is still impressible as well as having the Fourth Hokage’s ‘pure heart’ despite what this village has done to him. But even with the qualities of mainly his mother, he may have plenty of his father in him and through people like Tsunade, Sarutobi, and the ninja council, they will make him into someone that could be even stronger than the Fourth Hokage and I believe that with Tsunade, he will become Hokage. He has already gotten to Chunin level and he has indeed shown that he may have some of the Fourth Hokage him after all.”

The civilian council grumbles and the female council member that spoke before says, “So, it is up to that wench and her pink haired whore of a daughter. But he is going to the Hyuga heiress and if they marry, it will give him a strong powerbase.”

Koharu says, with a plain tone, “True, but since he is the last of the Uzumaki clan, the clan of longevity, and the fox has enhanced their abilities he has gotten from them, there are plenty that may want him to go into the Clan Restoration Act and there is also a possibility than his Rinnegan might be transferable. I’ve recently heard a theory that the Rinnegan only goes through atavism, meaning that the gene of the Rinnegan skip generations, and if the Six Path Sage was real, then he had children and it is possible that the Uzumaki clan are among his descendants. You see, I’ve managed to get information on his medical reports and they found some ‘unusual genes’ which recently went active. It is believed that it is the genes for the Rinnegan, but the thing is, the genes for the Sharingan doesn’t equal the level of genes that became active in the Namikaze child.”

Homura asks, stunned, “You mean that those other genes might allow the boy to pass onto the Rinnegan?”

Koharu says, with a nod, “It is possible, Homura. And even if he has children with the Hyuga heiress, they will probably have only Rinnegan or Byakugan.”

Homura says, with a nod, “I see your point of having the boy have multiple wives and there is something else. The Motomiya child and the Fudo girl. One also another powerful bloodline to rival the Rinnegan and the girl has mysterious powers to allows her to make monsters become real through outside world technology as her avatar. She got it from her mother, who was the former Signer that held the Mark of the Dragon she holds now, the power is most likely genetic and passed down to children.”

Koharu tells Homura, “You know better, Homura. The ninja respect the legend of the Signers and Crimson Dragon and it would be an excuse for Tsunade and Sarutobi to make us what was once the Namikaze boy.”

Homura says, with a nod, “I know, Koharu. And Sarutobi is letting such power to go waste in order to improve the village. I disagree with Danzo’s traitorous methods to make the Leaf Village the strongest of all the Hidden ninja villages, but I can understand his motives. However, I can’t accept those actions and not just because he made lost whatever power we had left after the fiasco with the Namikaze. However, the fact is that we can’t let the Namikaze’s power and the female Signer’s power go to waste. They could be the keys to our village’s future.”

Koharu says, with a plain tone, “I understand how you feel, Homura. However, the Namikaze far from trusts us and the rest of the Signers are forming bonds with him, so, they won’t trust us.”

Homura says, with a plain tone, “So, indeed, our only hope is to get the Haruno girl and the Namikaze together for the betterment of the village. While the Hyuga has a firm hold, his crush on the Haruno girl won’t die so easily.” The two elders nod their heads while the former civilian councilmen and women seethe knowing that the person that tried to make life’s most miserable and who had them lost much of their power through they blame him for getting through while it was being ‘associated’ with Danzo that got them removed from their positions is the only way that they can get power back.

(Joining up with our Signers group; Later on)

Right now, we find our six Signers with Haku and the Digidestined with their Digimon partners, either in Champion or Armored forms, walking along as they follow Regulus and Sunlight Unicorn through a deep woods in which Hinata is riding Regulus, Ayane and Haku are on Sunlight Unicorn, Ryu is riding with Davis on Raidramon, and Sailor Moon is using her own powers of flight to easily follow while we find Leon riding with Matt on Garurumon. The seven Signer Dragons, gaining physical forms since this is the Duel Monsters Spirit World, are flying to ensure that no one sneaks up on them.

Yolei says, amazed, “This place is incredible.”

Cody says, with a nod, “I agree, Yolei.”

Birdramon says, awe-struck, “It matching anything that we have seen in the Digital World.”

Ancient Fairy Dragon says, “Why thank you, Birdramon, but our world has existed for far longer than your realm. Remember, as Yugi Moto and Pharaoh Atem learned, our world has existed as long as humanity has existed. However, it is a marvel in how such a short time that your realm has developed is amazing.”

Izzy tells Ancient Fairy Dragon, “You should remember that as our technology advanced, the Digital World evolved or in their terms, Digivolved, along with us. We have such advanced computers and data processing abilities that the internet evolved causing the Digital World to evolve as well.”

Crystal Leviathan Dragon says, with a nod, “Interesting, young human.”

Hinata asks Regulus, “Regulus-san, are we getting close?”

Regulus replies, “It will take sometime to arrive at our destination and those that wish to stop you may have already sensed your arrival, Lady Hinata.”

Sailor Moon says, drolly, “That’s good to hear, Regulus-san.”

Leon asks, curiously, “Do you know who took my parents?”

Regulus replies, plainly, “It is a mystery, Leon-san. Here in our realm, it is not known how Jaden Yuki and Alexis Rhodes were captured and who or what is holding them, but what is known is that only the Signers can help free him.”

Davis says, plainly, “So, we are basically going into there blind? But then again, I’m not surprised.”

TK tells Davis, “No joke, Davis.”

Pegasusmon says, plainly, “However, I’m not sure how we will do fighting against real-life Duel Monsters, TK.”

Izzy says, plainly, “I think that the ones up to level four won’t require anything stronger than a Champion Digimon, but that’s only a theory.”

Tai says, with a plain tone, “Better hope that theory pans out Izzy.”

Joe asks, nervously, “And what do we do if we find ourselves against a level ten or higher monster like the Egyptian God Monsters?”

Izzy says, nervously, “I didn’t get a plan down yet, Joe.”

Ancient Fairy Dragon says, “It is for the best that you, Digimon, protect your partner and leave any fighting to us, Duel Monsters, through your services might be required.”

Ayane asks, curiously, “Why do you say that?”

Ancient Fairy Dragon replies, seriously, “Just call it a feeling, Lady Ayane.”

Just then a powerful wind comes in all around them and Yolei yells out, “What’s up with the hurricane?”

Leon says, seriously, “Something tells me that we’re not alone!” Just then dozens of Soldier Ants (500/1200) come out of the ground and Mimi yelps at seeing them.

Davis says, seriously, “Soldier Ants!” But then things get worse as a large Insect Queen (2200/2400) appears in front of them.

Ayane yells out, shocked, “Even worse, everyone! That’s Insect Queen!”

Naruto says, nervously, “That’s one big bug!” The seven Signer Dragons prepare to defend their partners and allies, but then a glow comes from Leon’s deck and that glow transforms into Elemental Hero Neos (2500/2000).

Leon asks, stunned, “Neos?”

Neos says, in a deep male voice, “Indeed, Leon. I am here to protect and guide you to my original partner and your father, Jaden Yuki. Leave this to me!” Neos then attacks the Insect Queen herself while all seven Signer Dragons unleash their most powerful attacks destroying many of the Soldier Ants in a single attack, but they still keep on coming.

Mimi says, nervously, “They’re still coming!”

Ryu says, seriously, “Activate your duel disks, everyone! Being in the home of the Duel Monsters, all monsters summoned here will be real!”

Crystal Leviathan Dragon yells out, “Ryu is right, everyone! This is our home and you will be bringing us out in physical form, not just as holograms!”

Naruto says, activating his Duel Disk, “No need to tell me twice!” Naruto brings out Red-Eyes Black Dragon (2400/2000) and Vice Dragon (2000/2400) in which they combine attacks with Red Dragon Archfiend for a massive attack.

Sailor Moon says, putting one card on her duel disk, “I’ve got a card to end this! Rainbow Dragon!” Just then Rainbow Dragon (4000/0) appears and Sailor Moon shouts out, “Rainbow Refraction!” Rainbow Dragon unleashes a powerful rainbow beam that destroys many more Soldier Ants, but there seem no end.

Davis says, with a serious tone, “Ryu, remember that card you gave me that I didn’t use! It’s time to use it!” Davis puts the card on his duel disk, dark clouds form in the sky, and out of a red beam of lightning, Slifer the Sky Dragon (X000/X000) appears over everyone causing many of the Duel Monsters to cringe in fear.

Ken says, stunned, “Oh, man!”

Matt yells out, flabbergasted, “No way!”

Izzy calls out, “That’s Slifer the Sky Dragon, one of the legendary Egyptian God Monsters!”

Davis yells out, “Okay, Slifer, pal, do your stuff! Thunder Force Strike!” Slifer then unleashes a powerful lightning force blast that destroys the many Soldier Ants still left, ending the threat, in which Neos uses his Cosmic Crush to finish off the Insect Queen. With the end of the battle, Red-Eyes, Vice Dragon, Rainbow Dragon, and Slifer the Sky Dragon return to their ‘summoners’ respective decks while Neos floats over to Leon.

Leon says, with a nod, “Good work, Neos.”

Neos replies, “It was no problem, Leon. You are the son of my creator and first partner and I swore to protect you until the day that we are reunited with him. I won’t go back on my promise.”

Ancient Fairy Dragon tells Neos, “It is an honor to meet the great warrior of Neo-Space, Neos.”

Neos tells Ancient Fairy Dragon, “And it is an honor to meet the loyal warriors of the Crimson Dragon, Ancient Fairy-sama. I shall remain to aid you in finding Leon’s father and mother.”

Haku tells Neos, “We are honored for your help, Neos-san.”

Regulus says, with a nod, “We are very grateful legendary warrior of Neo-Space. However, we must keep moving. There are many dangers in our world. It is normally peaceful, but you can see that no world is perfect.”

Tai says, with a nod, “I agree, pal.”

Naruto asks, seriously, “So, what are we waiting for?” Soon enough, our heroes and heroines head off into the distance and on guard more than ever as they venture deeper into the realm of the Duel Monsters to find Leon’s lost parents.

(Joining up with Orochimaru; on the meanwhile)

Back with Orochimaru, we find him groaning in annoyance more than pain as he and Kabuto walk into some kind of mad scientist lab.

Orochimaru says, with a plain tone, “I must admit that outcome was less than favorable, Kabuto.”

Kabuto says, with a nod, “Agreed, Orochimaru-sama. That brat may not have the intelligence of his dad, but he has shown quite the talent.”

Orochimaru says, with a plain tone, “And that bothers me to no end. The stronger that he becomes, the harder it will be to gain what we need from him.”

Kabuto asks Orochimaru, “So, you are going to use a backup plan if we fail to get Sasuke?”

Orochimaru says, with a sinister smile, “We will get Sasuke, no doubt about it, Kabuto, but I must consider the possibilities. And there are so many possibilities, thanks to the technology that we have ‘acquired’.”

Kabuto says, with a wicked smile, “Of course, Orochimaru-sama. We now have nearly perfect cloning technology and the possibilities are indeed endless.”

Orochimaru says, with a sinister smile, “Even if I did get Sasuke, maybe I can use his DNA to create a new even better body for myself and endless ones for all time.”

Kabuto asks Orochimaru, “Orochimaru-sama, what about the female friends of the girl with the crystal that we have captured?”

Orochimaru says, with a grin, “What better bait than live bait? But they also have many more purposes than that, Kabuto.” Kabuto gives a wicked smile as they look to see an unconscious teen girl with long blond hair with a red ribbon in the top center portion of the rare of her scalp and a torn up yellow-orange version of Sailor Moon’s uniform minus the wings and pink shoulder pads.

(Later on; Back in the Leaf Village)

Returning to the Leaf Village, we find Tsunade and Shizune in front of Anko, who is standing up in front of them.

Anko asks, curiously, “What is it, my lady?”

Tsunade tells Anko, “Anko, I want you to take a look at this.” Anko then looks at information that Tsunade has given her and her eyes widen.

Anko asks Tsunade, “Lady Hokage, is this some kind of joke?”

Tsunade tells Anko, “I can assure that it is not. The sixth Signer, Serena Tsukino, is in possession of a powerful item that can heal and purify and we have a feeling that it can purify anything including your Curse Seal. From what I read about the Uchiha, I feel that sooner or later, he may go to Orochimaru just to get the power to destroy his brother, Itachi.”

Anko asks Tsunade, “So, you want to test to see if this girl’s trinket can get rid of this thing once and for all?”

Tsunade tells Anko, “There are limits to her power. If uses too much of the crystal’s incredible power, said to rival the power of the Crimson Dragon, it will kill her.”

Anko tells Tsunade, “I know what you are saying, Lady Hokage, and I are willing to be your test subject. Anything to get the stink of that snake off me.”

Tsunade tells Anko, “When she and the other Signers get back from their ‘special mission’, I will arrange a time and place for this to be made.”

Anko asks, curiously, “Lady Tsunade, what did happen to the Signers? Did it have something to do with the Crimson Dragon appearing in the sky?”

Tsunade tells Anko, with a sigh, “Let just say that information is classified, Anko.” Anko was curious about this, but decided that arguing with her village’s leader especially one with her reputation that wasn’t a good idea.

(A short time soon after; Back in the realm of the Duel Monsters)

Returning to the Duel Monsters’ Realm, we find our group going through what looks like a rainforest jungle found in the area of the Amazonian river in South America where they don’t seem to notice that they are being followed.

However, Hinata, Naruto, Haku, and even Davis notice that they were being followed, but kept an eye on those keeping an eye on them in which Haku thinks in her mind, “These people are quite good, but not enough to keep out of our notice.”

Naruto thinks in his mind, with a sly grin, “Amateurs, believe it.”

However, the four members of the group that are ninja or have ninja aren’t the only ones that notice their ‘tails’ and Neos says, “Everyone, I believe that we should stop.”

When everyone stops in their tracks, Leon asks Neos, “Why are we stopping Neos?”

Naruto tells Red Dragon Archfiend, “Red Dragon, buddy, show them why!” Red Dragon Archfiend unleashes his Absolute Power Force into some of the nearby trees which cause several Amazoness Fighter (1500/1300), Amazoness Swordswoman (1500/1600), and Amazoness Trainee (1500/1300) in front of them.

Yolei says, amazed, “Oh, wow! Amazoness monsters!”

Hinata asks, stunned, “Aren’t they based on the legendary Amazons, all female warriors?”

Ryu says, with a plain tone, “And they don’t like males expect to sure the survival of their tribe.”

Davis says, drolly, “That’s good to know, Ryu-san.”

However, a familiar female voice calls out, “Hold it, sisters!” Everyone then looks to see Tania and Bastion come out of the bushes and trees with various Amazoness monsters surrounding them.

The Amazoness monsters that Red Dragon Archfiend drove out bow in front of them and Tania tells them, “They are the warriors of the Crimson Dragon and all of them, male and female, are allowed and honored guests here.”

There are tons of gasps from the Amazoness monsters and one Amazoness Trainee says, seriously, “My lady, how can we be sure that they are the Signers?”

An Amazoness Swordswoman says, with a glare, “Foolish, little one. Do you not see the seven dragons in front of you? They are the seven great Signer Dragons, who only follow the Signers.”

Sailor Moon asks, “Maybe we should show them our Marks of the Dragon to everyone?”

Ayane says, with a smile, “Good idea, Serena!” Soon enough, all six Signers show off their ‘Marks of the Dragon’ to everyone and all of the newcomers, minus Tania and Bastion, gasp in shock.

One Amazoness Fighter says, with a serious tone, “Those are the Marks of the Crimson Dragon! They are indeed the Signers!” All of the Amazoness monsters bow in front of the Signers and Tania and Bastion go over to them.

Leon asks, looking at Bastion, “Wait a minute! I know you! You’re Bastion Misawa!”

Bastion asks Leon, curiously, “And who are you, my friend?”

Leon tells Bastion, “I’m Leon Rhodes Yuki, son of Jaden Yuki and Alexis Rhodes.”

Bastion says, amazed, “My words! Jaden’s and Alexis’ son?! Wait, Leon-san! I can see Jaden and Alexis in you.”

Neos says, with a plain tone, “He indeed speaks the truth, Bastion Misawa. He is the child of Jaden Yuki and Alexis Rhodes and he has been searching for his parents for years in which he has come to find them with assistants from the warriors of the Crimson Dragon.”

Bastion says, with a plain tone, “Nice to see you, too, Neos. And we know why you are here. We know about the coming battle that will threaten the balance of the whole universe and that you need Jaden to have a chance for the survival of Earth and the universe.”

Tania says, with a plain tone, “We have many ancient prophecies that are well-known to my people and what’s happening now is one of them.”

Ancient Fairy Dragon asks, “Does this mean that you have knowledge where the Chosen Duelist of Neo-Space is being kept?”

Bastion says, with a plain tone, “We do, Ancient Fairy Dragon.”

Davis asks, curiously, “So, you are one of Jaden Yuki’s friends, right?”

Bastion says, with a smile, “I am, young Signer. If you are wondering why I don’t look like an old man is that because of my time here and some special secrets of my wife’s tribe…”

Naruto asks, stunned, “Wife?”

Tai asks, shocked, “You are married to someone of this world?”

Tania says, with a grin, “Happily married with some lovely and powerful daughters. I’ve trained to be mighty warriors and my beloved have trained them to be excellent duelists.”

Matt says, lowly, “Too much information, Tania-dono.”

Ayane asks Tania, “Tania-dono, can you escort us to where we can find Leon’s dad and mom?”

Tania tells them, “We can, Lady Signer, but you have quite a bit of a journey ahead of you. For now, let us take you to our village, so, you can rest. And don’t worry, any friend and ally to the Signers is a friend in our village other than fellow sisters.”

Ken says, with a sigh of relief, “That’s good to know.” Soon enough, our group heads off to the Amazoness home not knowing what will await them ahead as they continue their search for Jaden Yuki and his wife, Alexis Rhodes.

(In a ‘dark part’ of the Duel Monsters’ home realm; around the same time)

Inside of a dark room of what seems to be the inside of a dark castle, we find a massive crystal in the form of a diamond in front of a dark figure looking at a crystal ball, but there is also a Duel Monster known as Yubel (0/0) hanging suspended by some kind of force-field above the dark figure and the massive crystal.

The dark figure says, with a sneer, “So, the Signers have arrived to challenge me, huh? They shall not succeed.”

Yubel tells him, with a snort, “You underestimate the Signers, fool.”

The dark figure tells Yubel, with a sinister grin, “They are merely children and I heard that these Signers are new since the original Signers of this time have been murdered.” Yubel gasps in shock and the dark figure says, with a sinister smile, “I can see it all. The original Signers were murdered and the children of two of them have created a new team of Signers.”

Yubel says, with a smile, “Then there is still hope for me, Jaden-kun, and Alexis-chan. These may be new Signers, but you understand the power of the human heart and spirit, fool.”

The dark figure says, with a snort, “We shall see, Yubel. You shall weep as the last hope for your beloved and his beloved are crushed right before your eyes.” The dark figure gives a sinister smile as he looks as the crystal which has two 18 year old people, a male with a thick brown hair that’s a mysterious of light brown with dark brown, brown eyes, and a Slifer red jacket and black jeans and the other is a female with dirty blond hair, golden brown eyes, and wearing a female Obelisk Blue uniform with blue fingerless gloves.

(Sometime soon after; at the Amazoness Village)

Now, we find ourselves at the Amazoness Village, our group gasps in shock as they find it damaged with various Amazoness monsters on the ground.

Bastion asks, stunned, “My words! What happened?”

Tania runs over to Amazoness Tiger (1100/1500) and Amazoness Scouts (500/1100) and she asks, “Who did this?”

The Amazoness Scouts try to reply weakly, “It was…”

Just then a female voice calls out, coldly, “Me?” Just then everyone looks to see the Alexis Rhodes clone coming out into the open.

Leon asks, stunned, “Mom?”

Bastion says, seriously, “No, Leon, it isn’t Alexis. She is too young. She looks to be only fifteen to sixteen years of age.”

The Amazoness Scouts says, “It isn’t… the wife of the holder of the power of the ‘Supreme King’, Tania-sama… it is some kind of human-made duplicate…”

There are plenty of gasps and Ryu asks, stunned, “A clone?”

The Alexis Clone replies, in an emotionless tone, “That’s correct, Ryu Fudo. I am a clone of Alexis Rhodes created by the true owners of the DOAETC.”

Haku says, with a plain tone, “Must be those same people that tried to capture you back at Tanzaku, Signers.”

The Alexis Clone says, emotionlessly, “I have been given the code name of Asuka Tenjoin and I am here to prevent you to getting to Jaden Yuki and Alexis Rhodes before we do.”

Naruto says, with a serious tone, “You want to bet on that? We’ve got you outnumber.”

The Alexis Clone, called Asuka, gives off a powerful chakra aura and she says, plainly, “I’ve also been given the power of the shinobi of the Elemental Nations in order to defend myself against such things.”

Haku says, with a serious tone, “She is giving off a pretty strong chakra aura, Naruto-sama.”

Hinata asks, with a curious tone, “So, she has the abilities that we do?”

Ayane says, with a nod, “Yeah, Hinata. They used genetics to alter this clone’s genetic make-up to give her the ability to use chakra. Most likely, they are after you and Naruto to gain the Rinnegan and Byakugan in their places to create their so-called ‘ultimate warrior’.”

Asuka says, with a plain tone, “You will not pass, Signers. You are coming back with me.”

Naruto yells out, strongly, “Not on your life… who or whatever you are! Believe it! You are going to have to beat us first!”

Asuka says, with a plain tone, “As you wish, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze.” Asuka displays her duel disk and she says, with a plain tone, “I challenge you, Signers, to a duel. Win, you can pass. Lose, you will surrender to me without any resistance.”

Tai yells out, strongly, “Why should they duel against you?”

Asuka says, pointing nearby, “I believe that’s a sufficient reason for you to duel.” Everyone then looks and gasps to see one Amazoness Queen (2400/1800), one Unfriendly Amazon (2000/1600), and two female kids that look like a cross between Tania and Bastion, in his youth, in their looks, are tied on top of a large pole.

Tania yells out, stunned, “Not my daughters!”

One of girls, a female with Bastion’s hair that flows down to her back, Tania’s eyes, and wearing Amazoness type clothing, calls out, “Mom, help!”

Yolei exclaims, angrily, “That’s just wrong!”

Asuka says, with a plain tone, “I believe that you get what the stakes are in this duel.”

Just then Sailor Moon flies forward, displays her Mark of the Dragon, and she says, with a plain tone, “I’ll duel you. I’m the holder of the Dragon’s Heart Mark of the Dragon.”

Asuka says, giving a rare shocked looked, “That’s not possible! The only Signers are the Ryu and Ayane Fudo, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, Hinata Hyuga, and Daisuke Motomiya.”

Davis says, with a grin, “I guess that your information is outdate, girl.”

Naruto says, with a foxy smile, “There are SIX Signers, not just five! Believe it!”

Sailor Moon displays her duel disk, which looks like a silver and pink version of Luna’s duel disk sized to fit Sailor Moon’s wrist, and she asks, “Do you accept my challenge?”

Asuka says, with a plain tone, “I accept your challenge, Sailor Moon.” The two duel disks activate, their duel disks are shuffled, and as their life-point counters display 4000 life-points each as they draw five cards from their decks.

“Duel!” Asuka and Sailor Moon say in unison as their duel begins.

Starting Scores:
Sailor Moon: 4000
Asuka: 4000

Ryu asks, curiously, “So, how did the deck redesign go, sis?”

Ayane says, with a grin, “We actually didn’t have to do much. Serena had a backup deck in case she needed to change decks and we modified her Rainbow Dragon and Gem-Knight deck with this deck.”

Bastion thinks in his mind, “Did she say Rainbow Dragon?”

Naruto asks, curiously, “What is her ‘backup deck’?”

Ayane says, with a giggle, “Look and see, Naruto.”

Asuka says, drawing a card, “I’ll go first, Sailor Moon.” Asuka says, putting one card on her duel disk, “I play my Cyber Gymnast in defense mode!” Just then Cyber Gymnast (800/1800) appears on the field in defense mode. Asuka says, putting two cards into the spell/trap slots, “I end my turn with a couple of face-downs.”

Sailor Moon says, drawing a card, “It’s my turn!” Sailor Moon says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “I activate my Heavy Storm spell card! Now, all spell and trap cards currently out on the field are destroyed!” A huge storm comes onto the field and destroys Asuka’s face-down cards revealed to be Pure Pupil counter-trap card and Freezing Boundary trap card. Sailor Moon says, discarding one Key Mouse (100/100) monster card, “I discard my Key Mouse tuner monster to play Egoistical Ape tuner monster in attack mode!” Soon after, Egotistical Ape (1200/1200) appears on the field in attack mode and Sailor Moon says, “And now, I can increase or decrease his level by the level of the monster that I discarded to play him! And I choose to decrease his level by one!” Soon enough, Egoistical Ape’s level goes from level five to level 4 and Serena says, putting one card on her duel disk, “Next, I play my Sunlight Unicorn in attack mode!” Just then Sunlight Unicorn (1800/1000) appears on the field in attack mode and Serena says, drawing a card, “And now, I activate his ability and draw one card from my deck in which I can keep as long as it is an equip spell card!” Sailor Moon then displays her Fairy Meteor Crush equip spell card and she says, with a serious tone, “And now, I tune my Ape with my Sunlight Unicorn in order to Synchro Summon Lightning Tricorn in attack mode!” Egoistical Ape turns into four stars that turn into four rings that surround Sunlight Unicorn, making it become transparent, and when a column of light appears on the field, Serena takes a Synchro Monster card from her Extra deck. When she puts it on her duel disk, Lightning Tricorn (2800/2000) appears on the field in attack mode.

Ryu says, plainly, “This brings back old memories.”

Naruto asks Hinata, “Is that the ace monster of Serena’s other deck, Hinata-chan?”

Hinata replies, with a warm smile, “N-Not really, Naruto-kun. Serena’s second deck was actually a Beast and Fairy type Unicorn and Valkyrie deck. We’ve modified it to add her two Signer Dragons and more.”

Sailor Moon says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “Now, I activate my Fairy Meteor Crush and give it to my Lightning Unicorn. And now, when he attacks a monster in defense mode with less defense points than my monster’s attack points, you take the difference as damage to your life-points. Lightning Tricorn, attack her Gymnast now!” Lightning Tricorn unleashes a powerful attack and destroys Cyber Gymnast causing Asuka to lose 1000 life-points. Sailor Moon says, putting two cards into the spell/trap slots, “And now, I end with two cards face-down.”

Current Score:
Sailor Moon: 4000
Asuka: 3000

Naruto yells out, excitedly, “Way to go!”

Davis says, with a grin, “Show that faker who’s boss, Moon girl!”

Asuka’s right eyebrow twitches and she says, drawing a card, “It’s my move now.” Asuka says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “I play Graceful Charity! I draw three cards and then I discard two more cards from my hand!” Asuka draws three cards, discards one Pot of Greed and one Cyber Angel Idaten (1600/2000) ritual monster card, and she says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “And now, I play my Double Spell card! By discarding one spell card, I can use one spell card from your graveyard!” Asuka discards her Machine Angel Ritual spell card in which a card comes out of graveyard slot of Sailor Moon’s duel disk in which Asuka says, putting into her spell/trap slots, “And I choose your Heavy Storm! So, now, you take the effect of your own spell card!” A huge wind comes onto the field destroying Sailor Moon’s Fairy Meteor Crush equip spell card along with her Mirror Wall continuous trap card and Dummy Marker trap card.

Sailor Moon says, drawing two cards, “Since you destroyed my face-down Dummy Marker with a spell card, I get two new cards from my deck!”

Asuka says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “I activate my Fulfillment of the Contract equip spell card, Sailor Moon! By lowering my life-points by eight hundred, I can revive one Ritual monster from my graveyard and I choose Cyber Angel Idaten!” Cyber Angel Idaten (1600/2000) then appears on the field in attack mode and Asuka says, taking a card from her duel disk’s graveyard slot, “With her return, I can take one spell card from my graveyard and add it to my hand! And I choose my Pot of Greed which I sent to my graveyard myself!” Asuka plays the said spell card and she says, “And now, with Pot of Greed, I get two more cards!” Asuka draws two more cards and Asuka says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “I play my Machine Angel Ritual and release my Idaten to play Cyber Angel Benten!” Idaten vanishes and when Asuka puts a Ritual monster card on her duel disk, Cyber Angel Benten (1800/1500) appears on the field in attack mode. Asuka says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “And then I play my Ritual Weapon equal spell card! This can only be equipped to a level six or below Ritual monster and boosts her power by fifteen hundred!” Benten’s stats go up from 1800/1500 to 3300/3000 and she yells out, “Attack her Tricorn with your arrow, Benten!” Benten unleashes an arrow on Lightning Tricorn and it gives out a horse-like yell as it is destroyed while costing Sailor Moon 500 life-points. Asuka says, with a plain tone, “And now, you lose life-points to your monster’s defense power due to Benten’s ability.” Sailor Moon groans as she is surrounded by a red aura as her life-points drop by another 2000 points.

Leon says, with a serious tone, “That may not be my mom, but she has my mom’s skills.”

Sailor Moon says, a card coming out of her Extra Deck, “Lightning Tricorn allows me to play one Thunder Unicorn or one Voltic Bicorn when it is destroyed in battle by an opponent’s monster or by an opponent’s card effect. And I choose Voltic Bicorn!” Soon after, Voltic Bicorn (2500/2000) appears on the field in attack mode.

Asuka says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “I shall end my turn with one card face-down.”

Current Score:
Sailor Moon: 1500
Asuka: 2200

Sailor Moon says, drawing a card, “It’s my turn!” Sailor Moon says, putting one card on her duel disk, “I play Effect Veiler in attack mode!” Soon after, Effect Veiler (0/0) appears on the field in attack mode and Sailor Moon yells out, “And now, I tune him with my Voltic Bicorn in order to Synchro Summon my Light End Dragon!” Effect Veiler turns into one star that turns into one ring that surrounds Voltic Bicorn making it become transparent and when Sailor Moon takes out a Synchro Monster card from her Extra deck, a column of light appears on the field. Sailor Moon puts the Synchro Monster card on her duel disk and Light End Dragon (2600/2100) appears on the field in attack mode. Sailor Moon yells out, “Light End Dragon, attack her Benten!”

Asuka says, with a plain tone, “My monster is stronger.”

Sailor Moon says, with a smile, “By dropping five hundred attack and defense points, my Light End Dragon lowers your monster’s power by fifteen when it attacks!” Benten goes from 3300/3000 to 1800/1500 while Light End Dragon goes from 2600/2100 to 2100/1600 in which the attack envelops Benten in which Asuka yelps as she loses 300 life-points with her monster’s destruction. Sailor Moon says, putting two cards into the spell/trap slots, “I end my turn with two cards face-down.”

Current Score:
Sailor Moon: 1500

Asuka says, drawing a card, “It’s my turn, Sailor Moon.” Asuka says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “I play my Card of Sanctity! Both of us must now draw until we have six cards in our hands.” Asuka and Sailor Moon draw from their decks until they have six cards in their hands and Asuka says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “I activate my Polymerization spell card!” Asuka discards Blade Skater (1400/1500) and Etoile Cyber (1200/1600) monster cards and Asuka says, with a plain tone, “I fuse my Blade Skater and Etoile Cyber in order to form my Cyber Blader in attack mode!” The two said monster appear on the field and go into a fusion vortex while Asuka takes a Fusion Monster card from her Extra Deck and puts it on her duel disk causing Cyber Blader (2100/800) to appear on the field in attack mode. Asuka says, with a plain tone, “Blader, attack Light End Dragon now! And due to her ability, she can’t be destroyed in battle when my opponent has only one monster.”

As Cyber Blader charges in, Sailor Moon says, pushing a button on her duel disk, “I activate my Cleansing Water spell card!” Sailor Moon’s face-down card is revealed to be the Cleansing Water quick-play spell card and Sailor Moon says, “This card allows me to return Light End Dragon’s strength back to normal!” Light End Dragon then goes from 2100/1600 back to 2600/2100 and prepares to counterattack.

Asuka says, pushing a button on her duel disk, “I activate my Hallowed Life Barrier trap card!” Asuka’s face-down card is revealed to be the Hallowed Life Barrier trap card and Asuka says, discarding one card from her hand, “By discarding one card, I can negate the damage for this turn!” Light End Dragon counterattacks, but Cyber Blader is safe due to its ability and Asuka’s trap card negates the damage. Asuka says, putting two cards into the spell/trap slots, “I end my turn with two cards face-down!”

Sailor Moon says, drawing a card, “It’s my turn!” Sailor Moon says, with a serious tone, “Light End Dragon, attack her Cyber Blader now and activate your ability!” Soon after, Light End Dragon lowers its stats from 2600/2100 to 2100/1600 while Cyber Blader goes down from 2100/800 to 600/0 as Light End Dragon attacks it.

Asuka says, pushing a button on her duel disk, “I activate Doble Passe!” Asuka’s face-down card is revealed to be the Doble Passe trap card and Asuka says, with a plain tone, “Now, your attack is turned into a direct attack on me, Sailor Moon.”

Sailor Moon tells Asuka, “But you will lose the rest of your life-points!”

Asuka says, removing a trap card with a picture of light particles raining down on a person, “Remember the card that I discard with my Hallowed Life Barrier? It is a trap card known as Cyber Angel Infusion! When a target of a direct attack when a Cyber Angel monster is on my field and this trap is in my grave, I can remove to increase my power equal to the attacking monster’s attack power!” After Asuka’s life-points increase by 2100 more points, Cyber Blader leaps out of the way of Light End Dragon’s attack which slams into her causing Asuka to groan as she loses 2100 life-points and Asuka says, with a plain tone while pushing a button on her duel disk, “Now, my monster can attack you directly, but I play my Rush Recklessly spell card and boost her attack points by seven hundred, Sailor Moon.” Asuka’s face-down card is revealed to be the Rush Recklessly quick-play spell card and Cyber Blader goes from 600/0 to 1300/0 in which the attack slams into Sailor Moon causing her to groan as she loses 1300 life-points. Asuka says, with a plain tone, “This duel is almost done, Sailor Moon.”

Sailor Moon says, pushing a button on her duel disk, “It is for you, Asuka. I activate my Synchro Ring trap card!” Sailor Moon’s face-down card is revealed to be the Synchro Ring trap card and Sailor Moon says, with a smile, “Since my Synchro Monster attacked your monster, but didn’t destroy it, I can double my Synchro Monster’s power and attack one more time!”

Asuka gasps in shock and Tai yells out, “Awesome, girl!”

Mimi says, excitedly, “That’s showing them, Sailor Moon!” Light End Dragon then goes from 2100/1600 to 4200/1600 and unleashes another attack which slams into Cyber Blader in which Asuka yells out as she loses 2900 life-points, ending the duel immediately.

Final Score:
Sailor Moon: 200
Asuka: 0

With the end of the duel, Asuka collapses to the ground on her back as the final holograms fade away with the end of the duel.

Ayane says, excitedly, “Way to go, Serena!”

Naruto yells out, excitedly, “Great job, Serena! Believe it!”

Asuka says, plainly, “I lost. I have failed. There is nothing for me now. I must return and accept my fate.”

Sailor Moon says, putting her hands to her broach, “You don’t have to, Asuka.”

Asuka replies, “I must do what my leaders tell me to do. I am nothing more than a drone.”

Sailor Moon says, with a plain tone, “Not anymore, Asuka.” Soon after, Sailor Moon’s broach opens and baths Asuka in its light causing her to fall into unconsciousness.

Sailor Moon takes a deep breath from the energy used on what she did to Asuka and Sora asks Sailor Moon, “What did you do to her?”

Sailor Moon replies, “Granted her freedom. I don’t know how, but I could sense that Alexis Rhodes’ personality within her was being suppressed.”

Ryu asks, curiously, “Suppressed?”

Ancient Fairy Dragon says, “That’s right, Ryu. She is an exact clone of Alexis Rhodes with certain modifications, but her personality was exactly like hers and like the real Alexis Rhodes, she wouldn’t be willing to do something so sinister. During her ‘birth’, Alexis Rhodes’ personality within her was suppressed to turn this clone into one of their ‘fighting machines’.”

Haku says, with a plain tone, “Just like Danzo and his ROOT organization.”

Sailor Moon goes over to Asuka as she wakes up and she asks, “Are you okay, Asuka?”

Asuka goes into a sitting position and she says, her tone filled with solemn emotions, “No, I’m not fine, Sailor Moon. I know what I am and I can’t believe that I allow myself to be used like that.”

Sailor Moon tells Asuka, “It’s not your fault, Asuka.”

Asuka yells out, “That’s not even my name! I’m just a clone! A duplicate! A fake! Why would you care about some kind of ‘thing’ like me?”

Sailor Moon tells Asuka, “It doesn’t matter to me! You might have been created in a lab, but you are a living being!”

Asuka gives a look of surprise and Ayane says, with a smile, “Sailor Moon is right, Asuka. You might have been created in a lab, but you are alive and a living being.”

Asuka says, with a plain tone, “After all, I’ve done…”

Mimi says, with a smile, “You were made to do by whoever created you.”

Just then Bastion’s voice calls out, “Indeed!” When everyone looks, they see Bastion, Tania, Amazoness Queen, The Unfriendly Amazon, and Bastion and Tania’s two daughters walking towards them.

Amazoness Queen tells Asuka, with a plain tone, “Young one, I saw in your eyes that you were just obeying whatever you were made to do by your so-called creators. However, the young sister in Sailor Moon has given you your freedom and a chance to make your own choices. The choice is now yours to make, young one. What will do you? Will you choose slavery or freedom?”
Asuka says, with a serious expression, “You don’t need to tell me twice. I choose freedom.”

Bastion says, with a grin, “Not surprising, my dear.”

Tania says, with a smile, “And I think that the name those assholes choose for you is the only good thing that they did for you.”

Sora says, with a smile, “Tomorrow’s Fragrance sounds pretty good to me.”

Yolei says, with a grin, “Yeah, Sora. It sounds like she is the next hot new perfume.”

Asuka says, nervously, “I’m not sure about the name.”

Bastion says, with a grin, “She is defiantly like Alexis. She is a strong willed person that wished to be respected as a duelist and not just as a ‘girl duelist’, but as a duelist as a whole.”

Asuka says, solemnly, “But where will I go? I was just created to be those jerks instrument to create their ‘ultimate duelist’.”

Sailor Moon says, extending her head, “Why not come with us? The more the merrier is good.”

Leon asks, with a blush, “Through I’ve got to ask: Why is your body a bit different from my mom’s when she was your physical age?”

Everyone then notices Asuka’s larger chest and she says, with a snort, “They say it was an ‘after effect’ of altering my DNA to allow me to use the chakra of ninja from the Elemental Nations. Yeah, right.”

Ayane says, with a snarl, “Great, everyone. They are also perverts too.”

Naruto says, annoyed, “Why am I not surprised? Even the people that are after me are perverts.”

Bastion coughs and he says, “I don’t think so. You are talking about manipulation a person’s DNA and even slight ‘modification’ can cause radical ‘alterations’. Even through they have good cloning technology and genetic manipulation, you can’t be sure what will happen when you mess with the building blocks of life.”

Cody says, with a nod, “That’s a good point.”

Haku coughs and says, “I think that we should get back to the task of saving Jaden Yuki and the real Alexis Rhodes. However, we should stay and aid in the clean up.”

Asuka says, with a bow of her head, “I would glad to help in any way that I can to reserve the damage that I have done.” When everyone looks at Tania and Amazoness Queen, they gently nod their heads and soon enough, they began to start to work on repairing the Amazoness village that Asuka damaged while under the control of the rogue organization that was formally part of the DOAETC.

(Back in the Elemental Countries; on the meanwhile)

Deep within the Elemental Countries, we find ourselves within a Hidden Leaf Village known as the Hidden Stone Village, who’s village is within a mountain range and the buildings created by large rock formations from the rocky ground with the Kage palace being the tallest tower with a cone shaped roof. Inside of the said building, we find ourselves inside of the Stone Village Kage’s office where we find a small man with large red nose, mainly bald with small patches of white hair on the sides and back of his head, thick white eyebrows similar to Lee’s and Gai’s black eyebrows, white triangular beard and mustache with angular corners on his face, and he has Kage robes on him. His name is Onoki, the Third Tsuchikage of the Hidden Stone Village. In front of him is a group of Stone ninja including Kurotsuchi, a young lady with short black hair and pink pupiless eyes with kunoichi type outfit and Onoki’s granddaughter.

Onoki yells out, angrily, “I can’t believe this! Of all the people that had to become one of the Signers, Minato’s cursed child is one of them! And I can’t believe that they kept him secret from us all these years!”

Kurotsuchi says, with a plain tone, “With what he is, his worries were more about his own villagers than us, grandfather.”

Onoki says, with a snort, “Yeah, I know. But do you remember the information that we got? He has the Rinnegan and complete control of chakra of the most powerful of the nine Biju. He is now getting trained by the one that trained by accursed Yellow Flash himself: Jiraiya of the Sannin!”

There are gasps of shock and one Stone ninja says, seriously, “That’s more the reason to crush the Namikaze before he becomes another ‘Yellow Flash’!”

Onoki exclaims, angrily, “And you want the rest of the ninja world to destroy us, fool?! The Namikaze is a Signer and even we, of the Stone Village, respect the legend of the Crimson Dragon and its warrior because they protect us from creatures similar to the Biju by even far more evil. If we go gunning for him, the entire ninja world shall declare war and attack us on all fronts! And even with our great military, they would destroy us! All they had to do is put pressure on our Daimyo, who like the other Daimyo respect the legends and traditions that we have from the outside world, and we are done!”

The Stone ninja looks nervously and another one says, “And from the reports, the Namikaze is well within the way to becoming even stronger than his father, the Yellow Flash, himself.”

Onoki says, with a snort, “I know that. I’m worried about those of our ninja that have become missing ninja. Once they catch word, they will go after the Namikaze.”

Kurotsuchi says, with a grin, “I don’t see what the problem is old man. They are rogue ninja. They can’t connect them to us.”

Onoki says, with a serious tone, “Stupid girl! They can make an excuse to make it look like our rogues were not missing ninja and put the blame on us! They’ll use any excuse to ensure their growth and our decline, Kurotsuchi.” There are more looks of worry and Onoki says, with a serious tone, “And remember, that old frat, the Third Hokage, isn’t the Hokage of his village. His student, Tsunade, has taken the position as the new Fifth Hokage of the Leaf.”

There are more gasps and Kurotsuchi asks, stunned, “The legendary medical ninja, Lady Tsunade?”

Onoki says, with a nod, “That’s right, Kurotsuchi. And that girl may be a follower of that old coot pacifist, the Third Hokage, but she is still a migraine. I remember my battle with that woman and the other Sannin and trust me, they are no joke.” Onoki says, with a serious tone, “I don’t like it, but like it or not, the Namikaze is completely off-limits! And if anyone thinks about attempting anything stupid with him, they will be dead and no trial or questions asked!”

The Stone ninja, including Onoki’s daughter, reply in unison, “Right, Tsuchikage-sama!”

Onoki thinks in his mind, “Darn you, Yellow Flash! Even from beyond the grave, you torture us! We can’t go after your son or we will have the whole of the Elemental Countries down our necks! You must be smiling from the Shimgami’s stomach right now!”

(Back in the Duel Monsters’ Realm; Later on)

Right now, we find ourselves with what looks like a dark realm within the Duel Monsters Spirit Realm where we find our Signers group, now joined by Asuka, looking at some kind of dark castle surrounded by a moat of lava in which they have dozens of Fiend type Duel Monsters known as the Dark World monsters all around the area.

Hinata asks, a bit nervously, “Who are they?”

Bastion says, with a plain tone, “These are the Dark World Duel Monsters. They are a group of mainly Fiend type monsters and in the game of Duel Monsters, it involves those using nasty effects when they are sent from the deck or hand to the graveyard.”

Davis says, drolly, “That’s good to know, Bastion-san.”

Tania says, with a plain tone, “This is where Jaden when he was controlled by his dark side, the ‘Supreme King’, controlled this realm. And it looks since he left, someone else has taken over.”

Ryu says, with a plain tone, “However, he must be back since your Sage sent us here.”

Bastion tells them, “Amazoness Sage has done well to develop her abilities, Ryu-san. I believe that Jaden and Alexis are here.”

Ayane asks Leon, “What do you think Leon-san?”

Leon says, putting his right hand over his heart, “My dad and mom are here. I can feel them.”

Naruto says, moving his right arm a lot, “Well, something here is causing my ‘Mark of the Dragon’ to react all weird.”

Serena says, with a nod, “Same here, Naruto. My Silver Crystal is also sensing a strong power.”

Leon holds up his Elemental Hero Neos (2500/2000) monster card and asks, mentally, “Neos, what do you think?”

Neos replies, “Jaden is here, Leon. I can feel him. He is within the castle.”

Leon tells everyone, “Neos can sense my dad here.”

Izzy says, with a plain tone, “Based on all of the stuff, it would wrong to say that there is a great chance that your dad and mom isn’t here, Leon-san.”

Matt tells Izzy, “Obviously, Izzy. But how do we get inside?”

Cody says, with a nod, “Matt has a point. There are so many guards and a frontal assault is not a good idea. It is possible there are reinforcements nearby.”

Tania tells them, “I’ve got an idea, everyone. I’ll be a distraction and the rest of you sneak inside.”

Bastion tells Tania, “Be careful, Tania.”

Tania says, with a wink, “Remember who you are talking to, hon. We’ve been together for many years.”

Bastion says, with a grin, “Forgive me, darling.” Tania kisses Bastion on the lips and she sneaks off while the others head off in another direction to prepare for Tania’s distraction. A short time soon after, the Dark Monsters are continuing to guard when a rain of arrows comes down on them and taking out several of them.

A Scarr, Scout of Dark World (500/500) yells out, “Who dares to attack us?” But then he is attacked and destroyed by a chain from an Amazoness Chain Master (1500/1300) and the Dark World monsters look to see a force of Amazoness forces led by Tania.

Zure, Knight of Dark World (1800/1500) calls out, strongly, “What are you waiting for, you fools?!” Soon after, the Dark World monsters go on the attack and when they are close enough, Tania leads her Amazoness monsters deep into ruins of villages and such in which they follow.

Tai asks Bastion, “Do you think that wife of yours will be okay?”

Bastion tells Tai, “Kamiya-san, my Tania is an Amazon. I think that she knows how to take care of herself, my friend.”

Kari says, with a nod, “He does have a point, Tai.”

Davis says, seriously, “Okay, everyone! Let’s move out!”

Naruto says, with a nod, “No argument from me, Davis!” Soon enough, our heroes and heroines come out of their hiding place and Davis and Ken take out their D-3 digivices.

Ken tells Wormmon, “Ready, pal?”

Wormmon says, with a nod, “Yeah, Ken.”

Veemon yells out, excitedly, “Let’s do it, Davis!” Just then Davis’ and Ken’s D-3 digivices start to glow in unison.

Digivolution

“Veemon Digivolve to… ExVeemon!”

“Wormmon Digivolve to… Stingmon!”

“ExVeemon… Stingmon… DNA Digivolve to… Paildramon!”

“Paildramon Mega Digivolve to… Imperialdramon!”

End Digivolution

As the huge dragon Digimon, Imperialdramon, stands in place of Veemon and Wormmon, the non-Digidestined of the group are amazed.

Naruto exclaims, stunned, “Whoa, guys!”

Bastion says, stunned, “My words!”

Ayane says, awe-struck, “This is incredible! Those two little guys turned into that one big guy!”

Davis says, with a grin, “This ‘big guy’ is Imperialdramon, a Mega level dragon Digimon with the power to blow up huge parts of cities! He is one guy that you don’t want to meet in any type of alleyway, Ayane!”

Hinata says, shocked, “Oh my…”

Ken tells Imperialdramon, “Take it away, Imperialdramon!”

Imperialdramon replies, in a combo voice of ExVeemon’s and Stingmon’s voices, “No problem, Ken!” Imperialdramon then brings everyone up onto his back and they fly over to the castle which is a hop, skip, and a jump for the massive dragon Digimon. After putting the group on the problem, Imperialdramon returns to Veemon and Wormmon.

Davis tells Veemon, “Nice work, buddy.”

Veemon says, with a smile, “It was no problem at all, Davis.”

Leon says, with a serious tone, “We’re going to need to move, everyone.”

Haku asks Leon, “Do you know where your dad is, Leon-san?”

Leon says, seriously, “I don’t, Haku, but I know that someone who does.” Leon takes out his deck and looks at his Elemental Hero Neos (2500/2000) monster card in which he heads off with the rest of the group quickly following behind, but what they didn’t know is that in a nearby tower, someone is watching them. Our heroes and heroines continue to go through the castle until they find themselves in the same chamber where they see Yubel hanging in the air with the large crystal containing Jaden and Alexis inside.

Joe asks, curiously, “Where are we?”

Yolei asks, pointing to Yubel, “And who is that?”

Leon says, looking at Yubel, “That’s Yubel, one of dad’s Duel Monster spirits. I remember the story that his friends told me when I was young.”

Yubel asks, curiously, “Who are you?”

Leon replies, “I’m Leon Rhodes Yuki, Yubel. I’m the son of Jaden and Alexis.”

Yubel gasps and he/she says, with a grin, “I see. I remember the day that you were born.”

Leon asks, seriously, “Yubel, I’ve come here with six important people. I need to know where my dad is.”

Just then a dark voice calls out, “He is right there, but he is not going anywhere, my boy!” Everyone looks towards the source and they see none other than ‘The Supreme King’ walking up to them.

Bastion asks, stunned, “Jaden?”

Supreme King replies, with a dark serious tone, “No, fool. I am Haou, the Supreme King and the ruler of this world!”

Ayane asks Leon, “Is that your dad, Leon-san?”

Leon says, with a serious tone, “Partially, Ayane.”

Haku asks, pointing to the crystal, “Then who is that up there?” When everyone looks at the crystal, they are stunned to see Jaden and Alexis encased inside.

Bastion yells out, stunned, “My words! It’s them! Jaden! Alexis!”

Naruto asks, perplexed, “How can he be there and here at the same time?”

Yubel says, seriously, “These assholes extracted the essence of the Supreme King from Jaden-kun and created this fake!”

Haou tells Yubel, with a dark annoyed tone, “You are going to pay for those words, Yubel!”

Leon says, displaying a duel disk’s that like typical Neo Domino City duel disk, but it has red and grey coloring attached to his left wrist, “I don’t think so, Haou! I think that I know why I’m here! To stop you through that, help the Signers free my dad and mom!”

Haou says, with a dark plain tone, “Do you know who you are talking to fool? I am the ‘Supreme King’, the ruler of this world.”

Leon says, with a serious tone, “You are a fake since my dad holds the real power of the ‘Supreme King’, jerk! And I intend to give it back! Let’s duel!” Leon and Haou activate their duel disks, their life-point counters display 4000 life-points, and after their decks are shuffled, Leon and Haou draw five cards from their decks.

“Game on!” Leon and Haou yell out in unison as their duel begins.

Starting Scores:
Leon: 4000
Haou: 4000

Leon says, drawing a card, “It’s my turn now!” Leon puts one card on his duel disk and he says, “I play Elemental Hero Bubbleman in attack mode!” Soon after, Elemental Hero Bubbleman (800/1200) appears on the field in attack mode and Leon says, drawing two cards from his deck, “Since he is the only one out on the field, I get two more cards!” Leon says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “Then I play my Polymerization spell card!” Leon displays Elemental Hero Clayman (800/2000) and he yells out, “And now, I fuse Clayman with Bubbleman to play good old Elemental Hero Mudballman in defense mode!” Clayman appears on the field, goes into a fusion vortex, and when Leon puts a Fusion Monster card from his Extra Deck on his duel disk, Elemental Hero Mudballman (1900/3000) appears on the field in defense mode. Leon says, with a plain tone, “And that ends my turn.”

Haou says, with a dark plain tone while drawing, “It’s my draw, fool!” Haou says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “I activate my Foolish Burial spell card! Now, I can send one monster card from my deck to my graveyard!” A card comes out of Haou’s deck and he puts it into the graveyard slot of his duel disk. Haou then puts another card into spell/trap slots and he yells out, “And now, I play my Silent Doom and I revive my Elemental Hero Avian that I sent to the graveyard myself!” Just then Elemental Hero Avian (1000/1000) appears on the field in defense mode. Haou says, putting one card on his duel disk, “And now, since you have a monster on the field, I release my Avian to play Evil Hero Malicious Edge!” Avian then vanishes from the field and Evil Hero Malicious Edge (2600/1800) appears on the field in attack mode.

Leon says, with a plain tone, “My monster has a stronger defense.”

Haou says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “Not when I play my Obedience spell card and this card allows me to switch the battle monster of one of your monsters! And I choose your Mudballman to go into attack mode!” Leon gasps as Mudballman switches from defense to attack mode and Haou yells out, “Take out his weakling with Needle Burst!” Malicious Edge attacks with tons of needles, destroying Mudballman, and Leon yelps as the needles rip into him as he loses 700 life-points.

Ayane says, shocked, “Leon-san!”

Bastion says, with a serious tone, “I was afraid of this. The special magic of the Amazoness village prevented such actual damage happening in the duel between Serena and Asuka, but this duel is like a Shadow Game and winner takes all!”

Naruto says, nervously, “That’s not good.”

Haou says, putting two cards into the spell/trap slots, “That’s right, fool. And this peon of my ‘lighter half’ shall be gone soon enough. I’ll end my turn with a couple of face-downs.”

Current Score:
Leon: 3300
Haou: 4000

Leon says, drawing a card, “It’s my move, Haou!” Leon says, putting one card onto the field, “I play Elemental Hero Stratos in attack mode!” Just then Elemental Hero Stratos (1800/300) appears on the field in attack mode and as a card comes out of his deck, Leon says, “I activate his ability and transfer one Hero monster from my deck to my hand!” After Leon’s deck is shuffled, Leon says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “And now, I play my Double Fusion spell card! By lowering my life-points by five hundred, I can perform two fusion summons this turn!” Leon says, displaying Elemental Hero Burstinatrix (1200/800) monster card, “First, I fuse Stratos and Burstinatrix in order to play Elemental Hero Nova Master in attack mode!” Burstinatrix appears on the field, goes into a fusion vortex with Stratos, and when Leon puts a Fusion Monster card from his Extra deck on his duel disk causing Elemental Hero Nova Master (2600/2100), red, yellow, and orange armored warrior, appears on the field in attack mode. Leon then discards his Elemental Hero Lady Heat (1300/1000) and Elemental Hero Heat (1600/1200) monster cards and he yells out, as he takes another Fusion monster card from his Extra Deck, “And next, I fuse Heat and Lady Heat together to form Elemental Hero Inferno in attack mode too!” The two said monsters appear on the field, go into another fusion vortex, and when Leon puts the Fusion Monster card on his duel disk, Elemental Hero Inferno (2300/1600) comes out of the vortex in attack mode.

Ryu says, with a plain tone, “Good move.”

Davis says, with a grin, “Way to go, Leon!”

Leon says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “And now, I play my Kishido Spirit spell card! As long as this card remains on the field, my monsters aren’t destroyed in battles with monsters equal in power!” Leon yells out, strongly, “Nova, attack his Edge now!” Nova Master attacks Haou’s Malicious Edge and destroys it, but due to the effect of Leon’s continuous spell card, Nova Master is spared from destruction since both monsters had the same attack points in which Leon says, drawing a card, “Since Nova Master destroyed a monster in battle, I get one card from my deck!” Leon yells out, seriously, “And now, Inferno attacks you directly, Haou!”

Inferno unleashes a blast of hot flames at Haou, but he yells out, pushing a button on his duel disk, “I activate my Dark Wall of Wind spell card!” Haou’s face-down card is revealed to be the Dark Wall of Wind Quick-Play spell card and Haou says, with a dark plain tone, “This card protects me from all direct attacks this turn!” Haou is surrounded by a dark wind dome that negates Inferno’s attack.

Leon says, putting one more card into the spell/trap slots, “I activate my Take Over Five spell card! I discard the top five cards in my deck and as long as this card remains in my graveyard, I can draw one extra deck during my Standby Phases!” Leon says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “And I end my turn with a face-down.”

Current Score:
Leon: 2800
Haou: 4000

Haou says, with a dark nasty tone, “Is that all fool? Let me show you true power!” Haou says, displaying a spell card with a picture of Evil Hero Malicious Edge with tons of cards in his hand, “I play my Sinister Greed spell card! For every Evil Hero in my graveyard, I get two cards!” Haou draws two cards after putting the card into the spell/trap slots, puts another card into the spell/trap slots, and yells out, “And now, I play my Graceful Charity! I draw three more cards and then discard two from my hand!” Haou draws three cards, discards two from his hand, and yells out, putting another card into the spell/trap slots, “And now, I activate my Dark Calling spell card! By removing Fusion Material Monsters from my hand and graveyard, I can summon a monster that can be summoned through Dark Fusion! And now, I remove my Malicious Edge and my Summoned Skull that I put in earlier to play my Evil Hero Malicious Fiend in attack mode!” The two said monster cards are removed from Haou’s graveyard, a black hole appears below Haou’s feet, and when Haou puts a Fusion Monster card from his Extra deck on his duel disk, Evil Hero Malicious Fiend (3500/3000) appears on the field in attack mode.

Bastion says, plainly, “That’s not good. That’s one of Haou’s strongest monsters.”

Haou says, displaying a spell card with a picture of Evil Hero Inferno Wing unleashing a powerful flaming twister, “And now, I play my Evil Inferno spell card! When I have an Evil Hero monster on the field, all weaker monsters on the field are destroyed and you take damage equal to half of their combined attack points!”

Ayane says, shocked, “Oh no!” Just then Malicious Fiend unleashes a blast of dark energy, destroying both of Leon’s monsters, and Leon yells out in extreme pain and agony as he loses 2450 life-points leaving him badly burned and smoking causing him to collapse to the ground face-first.

Naruto calls out, shocked, “Leon-san!”

Haou says, with a dark plain tone, “Good thing for you that my card forces me to end my turn since I can’t attack with my Evil Heroes on the turn that I use this card!”

Current Score:
Leon: 350
Haou: 4000

Kari says, horrified, “This is horrible.”

Hinata embraces Naruto and he yells out, “Leon-san, you need to get up!”

Haou says, with a dark plain tone, “Don’t bother. This duel is over either way.”

Davis says, with a serious tone, “No way, pal! A duel isn’t over until the last card is played and the last life-point is gone! As long as Leon-san has life-points, this duel is on.” Ayane and Hinata are thinking and praying and then all six Signers have their ‘Marks of the Dragon’ glow in unison.

Serena asks, perplexed, “What’s happening?” Just then in a bright crimson light, the Crimson Dragon appears and bathes the area in its crimson light causing Haou to back away in fear and Leon to regain consciousness. Serena says, excitedly, “Leon-san!”

Haou asks, stunned, “But how? Nothing can stand up to the darkness of the Supreme King!”

Leon says, with a deep breath, “Expect its polar opposite, Haou. Light can’t truly beat darkness as darkness can’t beat light. The power of the Crimson Dragon rivals your power and my newest friends give me the strength to stand up to your magic and save my dad and mom.”

Haou says, with a dark snarl, “We shall see, fool.”

Leon draws one card from his deck and he says, drawing another card, “That we shall, Haou! Due to my Take Over Five spell, I get one more card!” Leon says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “I activate my Card of Sanctity! Both of us must draw until we have six cards in our hands!” Leon and Haou draw cards from their decks until they have six cards in their hands and Leon says, putting one card into the spell/trap slots, “I activate my Ancient Rules spell card and I play one level five or above Normal Monster! And who better than Elemental Hero Neos!” When Leon puts the card on his duel disk, Elemental Hero Neos (2500/2000) appears on the field in attack mode.

Haou thinks in his mind, with a dark sly tone, “Fool. Do you think that I don’t know what you are planning? You are planning to Contact Fuse to create a more powerful monster, but my Trick Battle will make sure that my monster will survive and yours will be destroyed!”

Leon says, displaying a spell card with a picture of spy inside of some kind of armory, “And now, I play my Armory Raid spell card! When I have a warrior monster on my field, I can declare the name of the card and if that card is in your deck, I can put it in my hand!” Haou gives a look of surprise and Leon yells out, “And I choose your Super Polymerization spell card!”

Haou exclaims, stunned, “What?!” Just then a card comes out of Leon’s deck and goes into his right hand showing it to be the Super Polymerization Quick-Play spell card.

Leon says, putting the said card into the spell/trap slot, “And now, I play your Super Polymerization card! By discarding one card from my hand, I can fuse my Neos with your Fiend!”

Haou yells out, shocked, “You can’t!” But then a massive fusion vortex appears on the field in which Neos leaps into the sky and Malicious Fiend is dragged into the vortex with Neos as a new Fusion Monster card appears on Leon’s duel disk.

Leon says, with a grin, “And now, I play Elemental Hero Kage Neos in attack mode!” Out of the massive fusion vortex, Elemental Hero Kage Neos (3000/2500), who is a monster that’s Elemental Hero Neos wearing a black ninja outfit that covers everything, but his eyes, silver armor shoulder pads and kneepads, two short samurai sword attached to his back, and Kage type robes and hat over that, comes to the field in attack mode.

Naruto yells out, awe-struck, “Whoa! What a monster!”

Leon says, with a grin, “This monster is created by fusing Neos with a level seven or high Dark monster and he has quite a few abilities including the ability to attack my opponent directly when they have non-warrior type or Dark monster by cutting his attack points in half, but since he has no monsters, it is pointless.”

Haou says, stunned, “This can’t be possible! You can’t beat the darkness!”

Leon says, with a plain tone, “The Signers and I beat you, Haou! Their support gave me the strength to win this battle and save my dad and mom! Neos, end this duel!”

Kage Neos replies, with a deep male tone, “It would be my pleasure, Leon-san. I attack you directly with Shadow Cosmic Slash!” Kage Neos puts his hands together in a ninja hand sign, vanishes, and then reappears in mid-air in which he draws his sword, charges in, and slashes Haou right in the chest causing him to yell out as he loses 3000 life-points.

Haou says, weakly, “I still have life-points left fool!

Leon says, removing Elemental Hero Inferno (2300/1600) Fusion monster card from his deck, “Silly me. Did I forget that if I successfully inflict damage to your life-points that I can remove one Elemental Hero to allow Neos to strike one more time this turn? Sorry, Haou, but better luck next even through there is no next time, you fiend.” Haou gasps as Kage Neos strikes him again causing him to lose another 3000 life-points and ending the duel immediately.

Final Score:
Leon: 350
Haou: 0

With the end of the duel, Haou turns into particles of energy which vanish back into the crystal and Jaden Yuki within while Yubel is freed from her prison while the final ‘holograms’ fade away. Leon takes a deep breath and he sits down on the ground.

Hinata asks Leon, “Are you okay, Leon-san?”

Leon says, with a groan, “I’m getting too old for this. I don’t know how dad and mom put up with this kind of stuff.”

There are plenty of smiles and Bastion tells Leon, “Believe me, Leon. It wasn’t easy for him.”

Davis asks, perplexed, “Hold up, everyone! Why aren’t Leon’s mom and dad breaking loose from that crystal?” When everyone looks at the crystal, they don’t see it damaged or changed in the least in which they are plenty of confused looks, but they don’t seem to notice someone in the shadows.

However, Haku takes out a few senbons and asks, plainly, “Why don’t we ask our ‘other guest’ then?” Haku throws the needles and there is a yelp as a Witty Phantom (1400/1300) falls to the floor.

Ryu asks, plainly, “A Witty Phantom?”

Yubel says, “He is a mere pawn for the being that sealed away my Jaden-kun and Alexis Rhodes.”

Serena asks, curiously, “Your Jaden-kun, Yubel?”

Bastion tells Serena, “Long story, Serena-san.”

Soon enough, Witty Phantom was surrounded by our heroes, human, Digimon, or otherwise, and Naruto asks, seriously, “Okay, jerk, time to spill the beans? How do we get them out of there?”

Witty Phantom says, with a sneer, “I’ll never tell a human, fool!”

Yubel says, with a sly grin, “Don’t underestimate humans, Phantom. They might surprise you in more ways than one.”

Naruto takes out a kunai, performs a Shadow Clone Jutsu, creating one dozen Shadow Clones with kunai, and they ask in unison, with a foxy smirk, “Shall we try again baka?”

Witty Phantom gulps nervously and Yubel tells them, “Don’t even bother, Signer-sama. He won’t tell you anything, but during one time that they thought that I was unconscious while torturing me, I learned the secret. Jaden-kun holds the power of the shadows for the forces of good in the universe. The only one to set them free is an equal power of the opposite of darkness for the forces of good and balance.”

Ryu says, plainly, “The Crimson Dragon.”

Yubel says, with a nod, “That’s right, young Signer. Jaden-kun holds the protective darkness that aids the ‘true light’ of the universe shine and what the Crimson Dragon is the living embodiment of: The Light of Creation mistakenly known as the Light of Hope, the positive light that aided in the creation of the universe during the event known as the Big Bang.”

Bastion says, curiously, “Interesting, Yubel. So, Jaden holds the other half of that very same positive force that gave birth to the universe.”

Yubel says, with a nod, “The ‘gentle darkness’ and the Light of Creation were the two forces that gave birth and maintain life in the universe. They are equal and balance each other in order for the universe and others to remain in harmony and balance. The Dragon Star, the Crimson Dragon’s original form, was born and being filled with the Light of Creation, you can’t be surprised that it is a protector of humanity and life.” Yubel looks at Serena and he/she says, “Thought it is also strange that I sense this same power within this human. The energy of the Light of Creation flows through her like it was her blood through not as strong as the Crimson Dragon, but I have a feeling that it isn’t the core of the power that she welds.”

Ayane tells Yubel, “We’ll explain soon enough, Yubel.”

Naruto asks, curiously, “How do we free them?”

Hinata looks at her right arm and she says, curiously, “M-Maybe we should put our hands with our ‘Mark of the Dragon’ on it.”

Davis says, with a nod, “As good an idea as any.” Soon enough, Davis, Naruto, Hinata, Serena, and the Fudo twins put their right arms on the crystal and after awhile, nothing seems to happen, but then before anything else could be said or done, the six ‘Marks of the Dragon’ glow in unison and send energy into the crystal in which the whole area starts to shake and the six Signers feel the Crimson Dragon’s power trying to break through.

Joe asks, perplexed, “What’s going on?”

Gomamon asks, stunned, “I don’t know, Joe!

Matt says, seriously, “They had better get it done quickly or the whole place will drop down on us!” After a short time, the crystal starts to crack and crumble in which it shatters in a glass-like explosion, the crystal shatters apart and Jaden and Alexis fall down to the ground in a heap together.

Kari says, amazed, “They did it!” Just then Witty Phantom makes a break for it and Haku along Tai notices.

Tai says, seriously, “Hey, jerk! Get back here!”

Yubel says, with a plain tone, “Let him go for now, human! Jaden-kun and Alexis are the ones that are important here.”

Bastion says, with a plain tone, “I must agree with Yubel. If he was a mere pawn, then catching him won’t do much and who or what that fiend is working is who we need to worry about.”

Tai says, with a nod, “Good point, Bastion-san.” Leon and Yubel go over to the fallen couple and Leon gently shakes them in which they groan out.

Alexis says, weakly, “Jaden-kun, cut it out…” Alexis then slowly, but surely opens her eyes as she slowly gets to a sitting position with Jaden as he puts his right hand on his head.

Jaden says, shaking his head, “So not sweet.” When Jaden opens his eyes along with Alexis, they see the group in front of them and Jaden asks, stunned, “Yubel?”

Yubel tells Jaden, with a grin, “Welcome back to the land of the living, Jaden-kun.”

Alexis asks, looking over herself, “Huh? Why are we eighteen years old again? What happened to us?”

Yubel tells Alexis, “It is a bit of a story, Alexis. For now, I wish for you to meet your son, Leon Rhodes Yuki.”

Yubel then motions to Leon and he says, with a warm smile, “Hi, mom. What’s up, dad?”

Jaden and Alexis gasp in shock and Jaden asks, stunned, “Whoa, Leon? But he was just a baby when…?”

Alexis asks, shocked, “Leon?”

Leon says, with a grin, “All grown up and I have a family of my own including a grown up son and daughter with a pair of toddler grandkids.”

Jaden asks Yubel, “Yubel, what happened to us? Were we captured or something?”

Yubel says, with a nod, “You were, Jaden-kun. I was separated from you in order to make sure that you and your wife were trapped within that crystal. You have been trapped for around many decades after Leon’s birth.”

Bastion says, stepping forward, “Yubel’s right, Jaden.”

Alexis asks, stunned, “Bastion?”

Bastion says, with a nod, “That’s right, Alexis. However, I should look like this since I should be an old man, but let’s just say that I look good for my age.”

Jaden says, stunned, “Whoa. We’ve been trapped for years. This is so much to take in.”

Alexis tells Leon, “Leon, my boy, we…”

Leon tells Alexis, with a warm smile, “It’s no problem, mom. I understand. Let’s just say that for better or worse, I ended up much like my pops in my younger years.” Leon hugs his mom and dad and they hug back in which he says, “I’m just glad to finally meet you after all this time.”

Jaden says, with a warm smile, “It’s sweet to finally see you again, Leon.”

Leon says, with a grin, “Same here pops.”

Ayane says, with a smile, “It’s so nice to see Leon-san get his parents back.” However, Ayane’s expression becomes solemn thinking her lost parents and family in which Naruto pats her on the back while keeping a warm embrace with his left arm on Hinata.

Naruto tells Ayane, “I miss my mom and dad and I wish I could have met them.”

Ayane tells Naruto, with a smile, “Thank you, Naruto. And I hope we can give back your mom to you.”

Naruto tells Ayane, “Thanks, Ayane.” Naruto looks at Hinata and he tells her, with a foxy smile, “However, I think that I’m getting an awesome new family including an awesome girlfriend.”

Hinata says, with a blush and a giggle, “Naruto-kun…”

Jaden tells Bastion, “Bastion, did you save us?”

Bastion tells Jaden, “Actually, Leon and these six people saved you, Jaden.” Bastion then points to the Signers and he says, seriously, “They are six important people that need your help, Jaden. They need the power of the ‘Supreme King’ within you to aid in their fight for the future.”

Jaden asks, stunned, “Huh?”

Yubel tells Jaden, “That’s right, Jaden-kun. They hold a great power that rivals the power of the ‘Supreme King’ itself. An ancient force that’s respected by those humans that knows and all Duel Monsters, but something tells me that if they need you, then the powers of both light and darkness are needed in this battle.”

Alexis asks Yubel, “What do you mean Yubel?”

The six Signers look at each other and Haku tells them, “I think that you need to show them, my friends.” The six Signers then reveal their ‘Marks of the Dragon’ on their right wrists which then glow in unison causing the Crimson Dragon itself to appear with a mighty roar.

Jaden asks, amazed and feeling the power of the Crimson Dragon, “What is that?”

Yubel tells Jaden, “That, Jaden-kun, is the entity that’s the living embodiment of the force of light that’s the counterpart to your ‘gentle darkness’, which is known as the Light of Creation, the very force that with the ‘gentle darkness’ help give birth to all life in our universe. This legendary entity protected humanity in another war around the same time that Pharaoh Atem was fighting Zorc in Ancient Egypt and who’s power rivals the Egyptian God Monsters themselves! Jaden-kun, this is the Crimson Dragon.”

Alexis asks, awe-struck, “Crimson Dragon?”

Yubel says, with a nod and motioning to the six Signers, “And these six are the chosen warriors of this mighty entity, who are chosen to partner with the warrior dragons who aided Crimson Dragon-dono in the battle with that great evil. Each one contains a portion of the Crimson Dragon and its power sealed within him or her and they are the only ones that can summon the Crimson Dragon in time of great need, Jaden-kun. These warriors are known as legendary Signers, the Crimson Dragon’s chosen ones.”

As Alexis and Jaden are helped to their feet by Bastion and Leon, Jaden says, amazed, “Okay, this is really sweet.”

Ryu says, stepping forward, “It is an honor to meet you, Jaden Yuki.”

Jaden says, with a grin, “Something tells me that the honor is all mine, bro.” Soon enough, Ryu and Jaden shake hands as heroes of past and present meet in order to create a bright new future with the light of the mighty Crimson Dragon shining over them, but only time will tell if they can create a bright new future or the evil ahead will ‘swallow’ them all…

Next time in Chapter 20:

Jaden: Whoa, you are really that Yusei guy’s kid? But wait, he’s been murdered?!

Naruto: Welcome to my home! The Leaf Village!

Sakura: Where were you, Naruto? We’ve got a mission!

Naruto: A mission? Oh, wow! That’s Princess Gale!

Sasuke: Protecting a movie princess? It doesn’t seem like that big of a mission to me, Kakashi.

Kakashi: Don’t count on that Sasuke. You never know who is coming after movie stars like her.

Naruto: Who are you?

Mysterious Warrior: I’m not after you, Signer. The Princess of Snow Country knows the secret of finding the power of Aesir, the only force that can rival the God Monsters and Crimson Dragon.

Hinata: A cat with a crescent moon sigil?

Serena (shocked): Luna, you’re alive!

Feline Luna: I’m so glad that I found you, Serena!

Tsunade: Your cat has an idea on one of Orochimaru’s bases?!

Davis: Huh? Digimon are attacking this village?

Ayane: Next time on ‘Naruto 5Ds’: Cold Flames and Burning Snow

Ryu: You’re… Sherry Leblanc?

Jaden and Alexis are finally back, everyone! However, they have been gone for quite a long time and they are going to need to get adjusted to the new way of dueling, but Jaden Yuki will get back his edge after being gone for so long through it will take awhile. And if you thought that the Digimon aren’t going to play a major role in this story, guess again everyone! However, figuring the action and stuff is easy for me, but romance is a bit together. However, there are going to be more Naruto/Hinata romance fluff coming up soon and with Sasuke, I’m not completely sure where I’m going to go with him especially with Sailor Moon in the ranks now, but I’m mainly sure where I want to go with him and his betrayal of the Leaf Village is going to happen. Later and best wishes, Naruto, Dueling, and Crossover Fans!
