Geo sat at Spica Mall with his friends, Luna, Bud, Zack, and Sonia. It had been a while since the group hung out together. Currently, the group was enjoying burgers and fries together. "This is nice." Luna smiled picking at her french-fries.
"So when's the next bad guy rolling in?" Omega-Xis asked from Geo's Hunter.
"Let's not worry about it right now." Geo whispered trying to enjoy the time with his friends.
Almost on cue, Geo, Bud, and Sonia's Hunters started to ring. "Looks like I spoke too soon." Omega-Xis chuckled to himself. "Looks like the chief needs you at WAZA."
"Let's get going." Geo sighed standing up.
"It's okay, Geo. We'll get to hang out at some point." Sonia smiled trying to cheer her friend up.
"Yeah." Geo smiled a little following the group out of Spica Mall.
Soon enough, the group found themselves in the WAZA control room. The chief looked at the group of kids. "I'm sorry for calling you kids in today. I wouldn't have done it if I didn't need you. Dr. Goodall can explain the situation to you."
"Thank you." The old woman smiled at the chief before returning her attention to the kids. "As you know, noise waves pop up here and there and we can detect them from our computer. Recently, an unusual noise wave opened up. Currently, its location is undisclosed and under heavy guard. We've sent in several of our wizards, but they never returned. No signs of self-destructing, they just vanish."
"So you want us to go in and check it out?" Omega-Xis asked materializing from Geo's Hunter.
"Yes, I would like you, Sonia, and Ace to check it out."
Ace stepped forward smiling at the group. "Looks like we get to work together again, Geo." Ace smiled popping a mega snack into his mouth.
"I look forward to commanding you." Acid materialized from Ace's Hunter and smirked at Omega-Xis who growled at him.
"What about me!?" Bud asked loudly.
"We're not sure what's in there. To be safe, I need you to stay behind and help here. Also, your training has not been going well." Dr. Goodall explained. The rather large boy sighed a little. "You still have work to do around here." She said trying to regain his attention.
"It's okay Bud. Our power is needed here." Taurus materialized from his Hunter.
"We'll keep things safe around here. You guys do what you need to." Bud's fists tightened.
"If that's all settled, we can arrange transit to the noise wave." The chief looked at Geo and Sonia.
"Come on, Geo. Let's get this done quick so we can all hang out." Sonia smiled at him.
"I'm ready."
"Megaman better deal with this fast." Luna crossed her arms staring at Geo.
"We'll do our best. Right Mega?" Geo looked at his wizard.
"We shouldn't break a sweat." He responded.
"Let's get going then." The chief motioned to two of his officers who began leading the group out of the building.
A few days earlier…
Rogue stood on top of a cliff staring at a group of Satella Police officers guarding a noise wave. "No one hides anything from me." He dashed from the cliff with incredible speed heading directly for the noise wave. The Murian disappeared into the void undetected.
…
Geo stepped out of a car with Sonia and Ace by his side. An officer standing nearby walked over to them. "The noise wave is just up ahead." He walked the group past a series of tents full of research equipment and computers. "We've been trying to get a read on this thing, but nothing came back. The noise it emits isn't harmful. It just creates interference. We didn't know who else to call in."
"Don't worry about it." Ace smiled a little.
"Here it is." The officer stopped the group by the clearly visible noise wave.
"I've never seen one that color before." Geo stared at it curiously.
Omega-Xis materialized from his Hunter. "Come on kid. Let's do this."
Geo looked at him and nodded his head. He then turned to his friends who nodded to him. "Transcode Megaman!" Geo was enveloped in a light as he transformed into the hero known as Megaman. He looked to his friends who had also wave changed. Ace was now Acid Ace and Sonia was now Harp Note. "Let's go." Megaman jumped into the noise wave first.
Sonia and Ace appeared behind Geo in the noise wave. "Geo, you're the expert on these things. Tell us where to go." Ace looked at him.
"We just have to find the exit." Geo looked around the void. "This one's different though. It seems to be pointing us in the direction." He looked at the space in the noise wave and pointed to the free moving waves directing them. He started to walk following the direction of the waves. Ace and Sonia followed him. The group continued walking for a while until they saw a light. "I think that's the exit." Geo paused at the rift emitting the light.
"Let's see what's on the other side." Ace charged through the hole. Sonia looked at Geo before she ran through.
"Let's not make them wait." Omega-Xis said. Geo nodded his head running through the hole. As he exited the noise wave, his wave form ended. Geo landed on the ground where Ace helped him up. "Where are we?"
"I don't know." Ace looked at his Hunter and frowned; they were in the alley of a city. Just then, his Hunter started to beep. "I have no reception and I still manage to get a Hunter update." His Hunter shut off.
"I didn't even accept it!" Sonia looked at her Hunter which was now rebooting.
"Let's try to get our bearings." Ace walked out of the alley with the kids on to the sidewalks of the city.
"Geo, look at that big heart." Sonia pointed to a large tower in the distance.
Geo was distracted by a group of kids standing across from each other. "I summon Celtic Guardian!" Geo watched the boy place a card on a tablet-like device.
"What are they doing?" He pulled his visualizer over his eyes. "Ahhh!"
"Geo, are you okay?" Ace looked at him.
"Those kids are fighting!" Geo's visualizer was still on his head. Ace and Sonia looked around confused.
A boy walked over to them with a lens over his eye. "Haven't you guys ever seen Duel Monsters? It's a game."
"Duel Monsters?" Sonia looked confused seeing nothing.
"What, do you guys live under a rock?" He pointed to the lens over his eye. "You wear one of these to see them."
Sonia looked at Geo and pulled the visualizer off his head and put it on. She looked at the kids who were dueling. "Oh." She took off the visualizer and handed it to Ace who looked through it before handing it back to Geo.
Ace's Hunter beeped signaling that the update finished. "Hey, thanks kid, but we need to get going." He looked at Geo and Sonia who nodded their heads following him. He led them to the alley they came out of.
"Kid, what was that update?" Omega-Xis materialized from Geo's Hunter rubbing his head. Lyra and Acid were doing the same.
"It would appear your Hunter VG has new features." Acid looked at Ace. "The unknown update has added a new application known as Duel Mode. Your Battle Card folders have also been updated."
Geo was looking through his battle cards. "All of them are here, but they look different. There are even some new ones. And they divided my folders into Trunk, Side Deck, Main Deck, and Extra Deck."
"The update gave me an instructional on how this stuff works." Omega-Xis looked at Geo. "You need a minimal of forty cards. You're supposed to have a balance of monsters, spells and traps. Then when you duel, you try to knock your opponent's life points to zero."
"Why talk about it when you can do it?" Acid looked at Omega-Xis.
"You challenging us to a duel?"
"If you think you can handle it." Acid smirked.
"Sure, just give us a little bit to get our deck together." Omega-Xis looked at Geo. "Come on kid. Open up your trunk so we can build our deck."
"Mega, why do you have to do this?" Geo knew his competitive nature and opened the card folders. "You need to show me how to do this."
"Might as well pick up some of the culture. We don't want to draw too much attention to ourselves. Plus, it looks kind of fun." Ace started going through his card folders.
"Lyra, let's build a deck too." Sonia smiled opening up her card folders.
A little while later, Geo closed his card folders. "All set?" Ace asked closing his card folders.
"Yeah." Geo smiled nervously.
"Let's do this!" Ace pressed the Duel Mode application on his Hunter. Several Real Wave screens appeared around him. One appeared flat while one appeared in front of his eyes acting like a camera. Sonia activated a similar application creating the same Real Wave screen.
Geo put on his Visualizer as he activated the application. The same flat wave appeared in front of him. A line of cards appeared in front of him. "We'll go first." Omega-Xis said looking at Geo's hand. "Here, tap this one to summon it."
"Okay, I summon Crowcar in attack mode (LVL4 1200 atk/ 300 def)."
"Okay kid, now play that magic card and end our turn."
Geo nodded his head. "I play my Barrier magic card. It can absorb damage from your attacks and protect my monsters." A blue field surrounded Geo's monster. "I end my turn."
Another card appeared on Ace's screen. "I summon Stealth in attack mode (LVL3 1000 atk/ 1000 def). I play one card facedown." A jet shaped monster appeared on Ace's field. "Stealth, attack the barrier!" Geo watched several bullets hit the barrier. He looked at his field and saw a number appeared next to his Barrier, 500. "Your move, Geo."
Another card appeared on Geo's screen. "Geo, play this one!"
"Okay, Mega." Geo looked at the screen. "I summon Omega-Xis (LVL4 1700 atk/ 1000 def)." Geo saw another screen appear; it was blinking. "Mega, what do I do?"
"Overlay, kid. We're gonna XYZ summon."
Geo looked at the blinking screen and pressed it. "I overlay Crowcar and Omega-Xis in order to build the overlay network. EM Wave Change, Megaman!" A portal opened in the sky absorbing Omega-Xis and the Crowcar. A light shot down and hit Geo transforming him into Megaman (Rank 4 1800 atk/ 1600 def). "Mega, why am I on the field?" Geo looked alarmed.
"Good job Geo!" Sonia cheered him on from the side.
"You're a monster, and it's time to attack. Take out that Stealth with your buster." Geo nodded his head and charged at the Stealth firing his buster.
Ace interrupted the attack. "I activate my trap, Counter Hit. Your attack is negated and I can summon a monster from my hand and let it attack. I summon Chakram (LVL4 1500 atk/ 750 def)." The monster charged at Geo who ducked in cover. When he opened his eyes, he saw that his barrier card had been destroyed. "The battle phase is now over."
"Ace certainly has the hang of things." Geo smiled a little. "I end my turn."
"Let's get this duel into full gear. I tribute Stealth in order to summon Acid (LVL6 2000 atk/ 1800 def). When Acid is normal summoned, I can change the level of one of my monsters by two. I make Chakram level six." Ace looked at Acid. "Now, I overlay Chakram and Acid to build the overlay network. EM Wave Change, Acid Ace!" Ace transformed and appeared on the field ready to attack (Rank 6 2600 atk/ 2000 def).
Meanwhile…
"Sir, we've detected an unusual duel energy."
"Get me a readout." A blonde boy wearing a black jacket walked over to a large computer console.
"Sir, we just had another burst of the energy. It's concentrated in one sector."
"Orbital, get coordinates now."
A small robot moved over to one of the consoles and plugged itself in. "Shall I prepare for travel, master Kite?" The boy nodded his head walking out of the room. The robot quickly unplugged itself from the computer and chased after its master.
…
Ace looked at his cards. "When you wave change, some of your cards turn into battle cards. Get ready, Geo. I have three battle cards in my hand, and I'm using them all." Ace tapped the cards getting into his battle stance. "Chakram is now Buzzsaw. With it, I gain 1000 attack." Ace threw the blade which hurled towards Megaman.
Geo's life points fell to 2200. "Mega, what do I do?"
"I don't know. Let me think."
Ace activated another card. "Stealth Laser. I gain 400 attack this time." Acid Ace's attack grew to 3000 as he attacked Megaman. Geo's life points fell to 600.
"Mega, please help. Ace is going to win."
"Grand Wave!" Acid Ace's attack grew to 3100.
"Geo, use an overlay unit!" Omega-Xis yelled at him.
"I use one overlay unit to activate my ability. Mega Shield" Megaman's shield activated stopping the attack. Geo breathed a sigh of relief.
"Your move, Geo." Ace ended his turn.
A card appeared on Geo's screen. "I have four cards and three of them are battle cards. I play the magic card Recover 1000. My life points go up by 1000." Geo smiled as his life points grew to 1600. "I guess I'm supposed to attack now." Geo looked at his battle cards realizing that they were not strong enough to cause any damage. He clicked the card that represented him and started reading the abilities. "Let's try this one. I use an overlay unit in order to activate my other ability, noise change. I select Corvus." Megaman's form changed his armor now a dark gray color. His attack grew to 2100. "I play my Sword card." Megaman's attack grew to 2900 as he charged for Acid Ace. His life points fell to 3700. A noise gauge appeared on Geo's Hunter. It read 80%. "Next, I use Synchro Hook." Megaman's attack grew to 3100 as he rushed Acid Ace and swung knocking him back. The noise gauge now read 130%. Ace's life points fell to 3200. "Jet Attack!" Megaman's attack grew to 3000 as he charged Acid Ace once more. This time, his life points fell to 2800. Geo's noise gauge now read 175%. "I end my turn."
A card appeared on Ace's screen. "Time to end this."
Ace was interrupted from his move. "Couldn't have said it better myself." The boy known as Kite hovered in between the two with his jetpack. A group of officers stormed the ends of the alley. "End the duel and come with me. I need questions answered."
Ace looked at Geo before ending his wave form. Geo sighed ending his wave form. "We're not just going with this guy?" Omega-Xis asked from Geo's Hunter.
"I think we have to." Geo responded.
One of the officers grabbed Sonia. Ace stopped them. "She's with us."
Kite looked at all of them. "I need your duel disks, now." He snapped his fingers and one of his officers brought a case. He opened it. "Put them in here."
"We can't do that." Ace responded.
"Look, I know that you're not ordinary duelists. I'm just trying to figure things out. To do that, I need your duel disks. This is my last offer before I take them by force."
"Give us some details first." Ace had Geo and Sonia by his side ready to protect them. "We don't even know where we are."
Kite looked at them. "Get them in the truck." He turned on his jetpack and flew away.
