1. Chapter 1

Alright everyone, it's time for the rewrite of Vrains.

Chapter 1: A new world and new adventure.

(Xyz dimension)

Ring.

A high school bell ring, signalling that school was over of the day. Lots of teenagers walked out of Heartland city's high school with their school bags on their backs. Among the high school students were a 17-year-old boy and a 16-year-old girl.

The Boy had Dark hair that was the same style as Yusei Fudo's hair, only red high lights, same skin, a yellow criminal mark like Yusei's mark on his face, wearing a Black long sleeve hoodie jacket over a Blue shirt, a Dragon pendent around his neck, Black gloves that looked like dragon claws that reach his elbows with custom made scales on the gloves, Black long track pants with Blue highlights on his pants, White shoes with black high lights. The most unusual part was his eyes. His eyes were half brown and half crimson.

The girl next to him had beautiful Black long hair that reaches her waist, even with a bird hair clip holding her hair, dark purple bangs on the side of her face, white skin, beautiful violet eyes, wearing a Black dress that reaches her kneels, Black long fingerless gloves that reach her elbows, Purple long stockings, Purple high heels, bird wing shape earrings and a bracelet on her left hand.

These two teenagers were Ash Ketchum or Satoshi Fudo and Lulu Obsidian, only older and much better Duellist then before.

It's been 2 years since the Dimensional war ended and peace return to the 4 dimensions. Ash, Zarc and Ray defeated the Demon overlord together in the final battle. Zarc and Ray were split back into their counterparts, while Ash trapped in the nether world after the battle.

Everyone's memories of the dimension war were forgotten. Declan held a tournament to get the lancers of the Standard dimension back together and helped them remember Ash, plus the Dimensional war.

Yuya travelled through the four dimensions to save Ash from the nether world, but in order to gather enough energy to make the travel to the nether world, Yuya had to defeat Dennis, Shay, Rose, Declan and even his counterparts, using Ash's deck. Yuya won all the duels, gathered enough energy to travel to the nether world thanks to Leo Akaba's machine that would allow anyone to go to the nether world.

Yuya found Ash after traveling for an hour, giving Ash his deck back. Ash thanked Yuya, but before they could leave, the King of the nether world appeared, shifting into a darker form of Ash to challenge them to a Duel. It was pretty tough, even when it was two against one, but together Yuya and Ash defeat the King and returned home.

Ash was reunited with his family, adopted family and law family, who became close friends. The war was finally over with the four Dimensions entering an era of peace. 2 years have passed since then. Ash has become a Pro duellist in all four dimensions with his White Dragon, Blue Eyes and Dragunity deck; but hasn't used the God cards in any duels since then, with Ash keeping in contact with all his family members, even adopted family.

Ash still had his harem with Lulu, Rin, Zuzu, Celina, Rio, Verity and Saya. treated them all with love and kindness, making all girls happy to be with him. Ash hasn't given up on duelling and trains every day to get better.

He even goes back to the Pokémon world to continue his Pokémon journey with his Pokémon to become a Pokémon master. He completed his journey last year through completing the Kanto league and become the Kanto Pokémon league champion, with his Pokémon after his journey through the Alola region, having went there to join the Pokémon School.

Pikachu stays behind in the Pokémon world when Ash goes back to his world, but comes back from time to time to look after his Pokémon. He comes back often to train his with Pokémon and defend his title. He would sometimes bring Lulu and Saya to the Pokémon world to watch his battles.

Zarc lives on through Yuya' Pendent with his Supreme King monsters, watching his counterparts grow. Like Zarc, Ray lives on through her counterpart's bracelets, with Ash visiting with Saya to spend time as a family.

Yuya has become a pro Duellist in standard as well, having become a great Dueltainer. Yugo and Yuto, like Yuya becoming pro duellist as well. Yuri just duels for fun now and doesn't enter Duel Tournaments. Krystal and her counterparts live in their dimensions to be with their boyfriends as well, duelling for fun as well. All the reincarnated Duellists of the past have been living happy lives as well.

The Lancers have all become powerful duellist in the four dimensions. Riley, Leo and Luna are on their way to become the youngest Pro duellists soon as well while Declan keeps doing his duties as LEO cooperation president, only his mother and father helping him now.

Right now, Ash and Lulu have just finished High School for the day in Heartland high school. Ash decided to continue going to school in the XYZ Dimension, since the XYZ dimension was the one he's been too the most.

Shay has started to teach younger duellist how to duel as well. His still in a good relationship with Ash's sister, Rose, even though Ash keeps his eyes on them, with Rose doing the same as her boyfriend whenever he goes out on a date.

Shay, Yuma, Tori, the former Barian emperors, Yuto, Saya, Allen, Kite, Shark and Rio go to different high schools now, while everyone else goes to school in their dimensions. Lulu has also become a powerful duellist, even more powerful then Shay. She however, can't defeat Ash yet.

Lulu is the strongest female duellist in heartland though, while also being the most beautiful. Ash however, is not the strongest duellist in heartland; He was the strongest duellist in all four dimensions. His trained so hard that it's almost impossible to defeat him now.

In the Spirit world, Stardust and the White Dragons have been living a happy life. They all have mates now. Just like their master, the White Dragons are mates with the monsters of Lulu, Celina, Zuzu, Rin, Sayaka and Rio.

Novaforce Stardust Dragon is still the leader of the White Dragons and has had many children. He has an Ice Wing best hybrid Dragon Daughter from Ice Beast Zerofyne, a Fairy Dragon hybrid son from Fairy cheer girl, a Spell caster Dragon hybrid son from Winter Bell, A Dragon Cat hybrid son from Cat Dancer, A Fairy Dragon hybrid daughter from Mozarta, A Dragon son from Black Rose Dragon, a Dragon Daughter from Ancient Fairy Dragon and finally a Bird Dragon hybrid daughter from Nightingale again, with Stardust and Nightingale's first child being loved by all monsters.

Saya has also officially started her duelling journey a year ago and so far, she is quite good. Currently Ash and Lulu were walking side by side to the car park of their High school.

"Once again, a wonderful day of boredom had ended''. Ash exclaimed as he took a sigh from exhaustion from another day of High school, making Lulu giggle next to him. "Can't you go for one day of school, without complaining''. Lulu said to her boyfriend, making Ash look at her. "Sure, if it involves something that's new and not something I already know''. Ash replied to his girlfriend, making Lulu giggle again.

Ash and Lulu arrived at the parking area where Ash parked his Duel Runner, only to see their daughter Saya waiting for them. Saya is now 7-years-old. Her Dark and marron hair was now as long as Lulu's hair, her dark grey eyes still as lovely as ever. She was wearing a Black shirt like Celina used to wear, a Pink open jacket over it, Pink skirt, black stockings and black high heels.

Saya smiled when she saw her parents. "Hi Mama, Papa''. Saya greeted her parents, feeling as happy as usual. Ash and Lulu sighed, before they smiled at Saya. "Saya, we told you to stay at home''. Ash said to his daughter, wishing that Saya stayed at home and not left the house again to come to their high school.

Saya smiled at Ash in response. "It was getting bored waiting for you two, so I came over here so I wouldn't have to wait''. Saya said to her father, telling him why she was here. Ash sighed, while Lulu giggled at her daughter's answer. Saya then went up to Lulu to give her mother a hug, which Lulu welcomed with her own hug. Ash held his right hand out to his duel runner, before crimson Fire appeared over the Duel runner, before the fire disappeared and the Duel Runner was gone.

"Let's go for a walk''. Ash said to his long-time girlfriend and daughter, making Lulu and Saya look at him. "This is surprising, you wanting to take a walk/ Alright, Papa''. Lulu and Saya said to Ash, making him smile at seeing them agree to his request.

Ash, Lulu and Saya walked out of the car park of the high school. Soon they were now walking through Heartland Park, with the sun starting to set. Ash was walking with his hands in his pockets; Lulu and Saya were walking together with Saya holding her mother's right hand with her left hand with a smile.

"This is a nice way to spend the afternoon. Spending time together like a family''. Lulu stated, enjoying her time together with her boyfriend and daughter. Saya smiled at her mother. "I think so too, I really enjoy our time together, Mama, Papa''. Saya said to her mother and father, while turning to look at Ash, who smiled at her. "I enjoy our time together as well, Saya''. Ash said to his daughter, making Saya smile more.

However, Ash put his hand in his left pocket and brought out a deck of cards. This deck is his deck. The famous White Dragon Deck, the most powerful deck used by the White Dragon Emperor, which is Ash. Ash looked down at the top card of his deck, which is Novaforce Stardust Dragon, which Lulu took notice of her boyfriend looking down at his deck. "What's wrong Ash''. Lulu said to her boyfriend, calling him by the name he goes by now.

Ash took a deep sigh, before he looked at Lulu. "I can't find any strong duellist anymore. 2 years ago, I fought with a purpose to end the Dimensional war, show the four dimensions that duelling is to make bonds and to stop Phantom. Even after the dimensional war, I still had a purpose to become the strongest pro duellist in the 4 dimensions. Now that I've accomplished my goals, I feel empty inside''. Ash explained to his girlfriend, telling her what he was feeling.

Lulu gave Ash a sad smile of understanding. She can understand what he was feeling, after all she had a goal to surpass her brother and now that she has, she doesn't have a goal anymore. "To tell the truth, I feel the same. I finally defeated my Shay in a duel, but now I don't have a goal to accomplish''. Lulu replied to her boyfriend, telling him that she feels the same as him.

Ash gave a sad smile back at Lulu, before something surprising happened that no one saw coming. A White and Blue portal suddenly appeared in front of Ash, Lulu and Saya, trying to suck everything in.

Ash held Lulu in his arms tightly, while Lulu held Saya tightly. "Why is it that all the crazy stuff always happens on short notice''. Lulu complained about a portal appearing out of nowhere. "I don't know, Mama''. Saya replied to her mother as she held on tight to her mother. "Either way, that portal is trying to suck us in, just hang on tight''. Ash said to his girlfriend and daughter as he grew his Crimson Dragon tail and had it stab the ground.

The Portal continued to suck everything and soon Ash started to get sucked in as well, while his tail still stabbed into the ground. Ash continued to hold on to Lulu, while holding his cards as well, while Lulu continued to hold Saya as well.

However, a trash can hit Ash from behind, causing him to gasp in pain as he let go of his deck and Lulu. "Oh come on, not my deck!'' Ash cried out as he was sucked into the portal with his cards.

"No, Ash! / Papa!''. Lulu and Saya called out in shock as Lulu tried to keep her ground, before Lulu was fully sucked into the portal with Saya. The Portal then fully closed, leaving the park in a mass with Heartland to not see Ash, Lulu or Saya again for a long time.

In another world that also had duel monsters, a young 16-year-old male named Yusaku was heading towards his friend Kolter's food stand as usual. Yusaku is a teenage boy with fair skin, green eyes, and dark blue hair that spikes outward in the back and contains light blue bangs with pink accents. His standard attire consists of a slate-coloured jacket with light blue trim over a white dress shirt with a blue tie and a pair of black pants and black and white shoes and was holding his school bag over his shoulder.

Yusaku was minding his own business as he was walking through the city's park. However, he spotted someone lying down on the floor that looked a year older than him, knocked out. Yusaku gasped in shock, before he ran towards the fallen person. "Hey! Are you alright?!" Yusaku asked the unresponsive person, turning him over to reveal Ash with his eyes closed, with a little dirt on his clothes.

Yusaku took notice of some cards right near Ash, before he got interested when he saw some of Ash's Synchro, Xyz, Fusion, and Pendulum cards spread all over the ground next to Ash with Novaforce Stardust Dragon's card next to Ash's face.

Ash stirred as he opened his eyes for the first time sense the portal sucked him up. "Ow, I'm gonna be feeling that tomorrow. I've gotta stop making people angry without meaning to?" Ash exclaimed, feeling control over himself, before he noticed that he was not alone.

Ash and Yusaku saw each other face to face for the first time, before Ash immediately started jumping and back flipping away from Yusaku, who got impressed with Ash's moves, while Ash narrowed his eyes at Yusaku. "Who are you?" Ash asked, suspicious of this stranger next to him after he was sucked into the portal.

"Is that anyway to greet someone who found you knocked out on the floor with a bunch of Duel Monster cards next to you". Yusaku said to Ash, which made Ash looked down, before he widens his eyes in panic when he saw all his cards on the ground. "Oh man, my deck!" Ash called out as he got down on his knees and started to pick up his cards, with Yusaku helping as out well, picking some of Ash's cards up.

Yusaku then took a really close look at Ash's cards, before he is amazed at their looks, abilities, level and power. "You must a really powerful duellist to possess cards as powerful as these for a deck." Yusaku said to Ash, while Ash turned to look at him as Yusaku handed the rest of his cards to him.

"Thanks. Also, sorry about the rude greeting. I don't know exactly where I am at the moment and being suspicious of you got me on edge". Ash replied to Yusaku, saying sorry for being suspicious. "That's alright. By the way, my name is Yusaku". Yusaku said to Ash, holding his right-hand hand towards Ash. Ash put away his deck in his jacket pocket, and held his left-hand to shake Yusaku's hand. "My name is Ash. It's nice to meet you, Yusaku". Ash introduced himself to Yusaku.

Yusaku let out a small smile as he and Ash finished his hand shake. "Nice name''. Yusaku said to Ash, telling him that he likes Ash's name. "Thanks, your name is nice as well''. Ash said to Yusaku, before he checked his other jacket pocket and brought out his Blue Eyes deck. "Thank god it's still here''. Ash said in relief when he saw his Blue eyes deck safe. Ash had left his Dark Magician deck at home with his Number cards since he only had two deck holders, so he can only bring two of his three decks a day.

Yusaku looked at Ash's Blue eyes deck in surprise at seeing Ash with a second deck. "You have another deck''. Yusaku said to Ash in surprise about Ash having another deck.

Ash looked at Yusaku and nodded to him. "This deck didn't used to belong to me. It belonged to a friend of mine named Blue. He gave me his Deck after he retired from duelling. He didn't want his Dragons to be wasted in retirement, so he wanted me to have his deck''. Ash said to Yusaku, telling him that his Blue eyes deck wasn't always his.

Yusaku looked at Ash in surprise, before he shook his head. "Anyway, what were you doing here, lying down on the ground''. Yusaku asked Ash, wondering why Ash was knocked-out. Ash shook his head in response. "Sorry Yusaku, but I don't know. All I know was that a portal appeared that sunk me up and next thing I knew when I opened my eyes, I was looking at you''. Ash said to Yusaku, not knowing what exactly happened.

Yusaku was about to say something, when both him and Ash heard a male voice. "Shock, it wasn't meant to hurt you, sorry''. A voice apologized, making Ash and Yusaku look left and right to see where that voice came from, but saw no one in the park. "Who said that?''. Ash called out, wanting to know who said that.

"Why don't you check your duel disk and see, genies''. The voice replied to the White Dragon emperor, making Ash look confused, but did what the voice asked and put his right hand in his right pocket, before he brought out his XYZ Dimension Duel Disk.

Yusaku looked at Ash's duel disk in surprise, while Ash looked at his Duel disk in confusion. Then the Duel Screen of the duel disk activated and showed a Blue dragon eye. "Hi there''. Ash's Duel disk greeted, surprising Ash and Yusaku.

"Okay now this is a first, a talking Duel disk!?''. Ash said to his Duel disk in surprise about it talking. "Your Duel Disk isn't talking, it's me inside it. The name is Azure and I'm an Ignis, or what your friend would call, an AI''. The AI inside of Ash's Duel disk called Azure said to Ash, making Ash widen his eyes in surprise.

However, Yusaku grabbed Ash's hand, before he brought it to his face to look at Azure. "Are you the program that the Knights of Hanoi have been searching for''. Yusaku asked Azure if he was what the knight of Hanoi were searching for, his tone serious. "Sorry to rain on your parade, but you got the wrong Ai. I'm, The knights of Hanoi have been searching for any of my kind, but they're currently focused on finding a different Ignis, so better luck next time''. Azure replied to Yusaku, telling him that he was not the AI that the Knights of Hanoi was looking for. Yusaku still looked serious, before he let go of Ash's hand, who brought it close to his face.

"Why did you bring me here and where is this place?''. Ash said to Azure, wanting to know why Azure took him, Lulu and Saya to this city.

"I brought you here from your world because I needed your help. My friends and I are currently being hunted down by the knights of Hanoi, which is why I need help to protect them''. Azure explained to Ash, telling him why he brought him here. Ash and Yusaku looked at Azure in confusion. "What do you mean world? I've never been to this city in any of the four dimensions''. Ash said to Azure, wanting to know what Azure meant, getting Yusaku to look at Ash in confusion about his words.

"To cut to the chase, this world is not a part of the four dimensions. You're in a completly different world than yours, but it still has Duel monsters, just like your world''. Azure said to Ash, explaining what he meant, making Ash and Yusaku widen their eyes in shock.

"You mean that you made me take a ticked to another world''. Ash said to Azure, shocked about what Azure told him. "Exactly, sorry about the rather short notice, but I couldn't exactly send a message or something''. Azure said to Ash, telling him that he indeed travelled worlds, making Ash and Yusaku stair in shock again.

"Not that I'm flattered, but why me''. Ash asked Azure, wondering why Azure chose him and how he did it. "I found this program that was somehow connected to your world. I used it to bring a Powerful Duellist to this world to help me and that Duellist turned out to be you''. Azure said to Ash, explain why he chose Ash and how he did it.

"The only drawback was that I meant to take just one duellist, but two more came along for the ride''. Azure continued, making Ash widen his eyes in shock as he remembered that Lulu and Saya were sucked up as well.

"That's right. Where's Lulu and Saya!''. Ash demanded, his eyes narrowed at Azure. Azure's eye then looked down in shame. "Sorry, but I don't know. All I know is that they're in this city''. Azure replied to Ash, telling him that he has no idea where Lulu or Saya is. Ash now looked worried for his girlfriend and daughter.

"Hey, calm down''. Yusaku said as he placed his left hand on Ash's right shoulder, making Ash look at him. "I know this city very well, so calm down. I'll help you find your friends''. Yusaku continued to speak to Ash, telling him that he'll help.

"Thanks, I appreciate it Yusaku''. Ash thanked Yusaku, while smiling at him. Yusaku nodded to Ash. "Come on! Let's search for your friends''. Yusaku said to Ash, with Ash nodding to him. Soon they both started walking out of the park, with Ash putting his Duel disk back in his pocket.

---

(30 minutes later)

"Lulu, Saya!" Ash hollered out across the town, with Yusaku following besides him. Ash and Yusaku have been searching for Lulu and Saya for 30 minutes now. Ash would have been excited to see a new city and explored it, but he was more worried for Lulu and Saya, so his main focus was to find them.

"Are you sure that your friends are here in this city?" Yusaku asked the concerned duellist, thinking that Ash's friends might not have come here to the world. Ash looked over his shoulder to look at Yusaku. "Azure said that they're here, so I'm sure. I hope I find them soon before anything happens to them". Ash replied to the hacker that Azure was telling the truth. Ash and Yusaku were walking past a Duel Disk Shop at the moment that was open.

"That's a nice and pretty duel disk, Mama." A familiar voice said inside the duel disk shop, causing Ash and Yusaku to turn towards the Duel Disk Shop to see Lulu and Saya walking out of the shop, with Lulu having a duel disk like Blue Angel, only in purple. Lulu and Saya were still wearing the same clothes before the portal sucked them up.

"Thanks Saya." Lulu replied with a smile to her daughter, before they both saw Ash at the same time that they left the shop. Lulu and Saya widen their eyes at seeing Ash again so soon.

"Ash, your alright?" Lulu asked, not expecting to find him soon. "Papa?" Saya asked, surprised as well to find her father so easily. What Saya said caused Yusaku to look in surprise, before looking at Ash in a strange way, thinking about why Saya called him her Papa. Ash sighed in relief to see both of them alright and safe.

Lulu and Saya both ran up to Ash, before they gave him a big hug, holding him very tightly. "Ash, where have you been?! You've got to stop disappearing" Lulu asked with lots of worry for her boyfriend. "Papa, please don't scare me like that again!" Saya exclaimed to her father, holding very tightly as well. The happy family was reunited again.

Ash hugged Lulu and Saya back with a smile. "Sorry that I worried you two so much''. Ash apologized to his girlfriend and daughter, feeling bad that he got them worried again. "It's ok, just stop disappearing on us like that''. Lulu said to her boyfriend, while looking at him in the face. "Papa, we're just happy that you're alright and safe''. Saya said to her father, looking at him as well.

Ash smiled at them. "Alright, I'll stop disappearing without meaning to''. Ash said to Lulu and Saya, promising that he'll try to stop disappearing without meaning to, making Lulu and Saya smile at him. "Sorry to interrupt''. Yusaku called out in surprise, making Ash, Lulu and Saya look at him. "I'm glad that you found your friends, but why is that little girl calling you her father''. Yusaku continued to ask, still surprised about Saya calling Ash her Papa.

"Ash, who is this?'' Lulu asked her boyfriend, wanting to know who Yusaku is. Ash looked back at Lulu with a smile. "His name is Yusaku. He found me knocked-out in the park and helped me find you two''. Ash said to Lulu, telling her that Yusaku helped him.

Lulu looked back at Yusaku, before she let go of her hug with Ash and bowed her head a little at Yusaku in gratitude. "I appreciate you helping Ash, Mr. Yusaku''. Lulu said to Yusaku, thanking him for helping Ash. Yusaku rubbed the back of his head with his left hand. "It's no problem, also just call me Yusaku. It feels weird being called Mr.''. Yusaku replied to Lulu, not liking being called Mister.

Saya then walked up to Yusaku and took a good look at him, who looked at Saya in confusion. "Your hair is really pretty Yusaku''. Saya said to Yusaku, with her eyes closed and smiling. Yusaku looked surprised at what Saya said about his hair and how adorable Saya is. "T-Thanks, your hair looks nice as well''. Yusaku replied, feeling embarrassed about Saya calling his hair pretty.

"Oh ho, looks like someone is embarrassed about getting a complement from a seven-year-old''. Azure called out from Ash's duel disk, making Ash look at his pocket, before he brought out his duel disk, while Lulu and Saya were confused about who said that. "Stop teasing Yusaku, Azure''. Ash said to his Duel Disk, making Lulu and Saya look at him.

"Alright, alright, just having some fun''. Azure said from Ash's Duel disk, looking like he got his fun ruined, also making Lulu and Saya look at Ash's duel disk in shock.

Ash then turned his duel disk around so that Lulu and Saya could look at Azure inside of Ash's Duel disk. "Lulu, Saya, meet Azure. He said that his an Ai of this world and was the trouble maker that got us a ticked to this world''. Ash said to Lulu and Saya, introducing Azure to them.

Lulu looked at Azure in shock, while Saya looked at Azure in awe. "His so cute, let me hold him''. Saya said, closing her eyes happily, making Azure's eye in Ash's duel disk look like he was blushing. "C-C-C-Cute, I'm not cute''. Azure called out in shock about Sayay calling him cute.

"Papa, let me hold him''. Saya asked her father to hold Azure. Ash nodded to Saya, as he gave her his Duel disk, with Saya looking at Azure's eye. "Your eye is just really pretty and cute. I just want to play with you''. Saya said to Azure, who was blushing from Ash's duel disk.

Ash and Lulu smiled at seeing this, while Yusaku couldn't help, but admit that it was also cute as well. Ash then looked at Yusaku. "Yusaku, do you know a place where we can sit down and rest''. Ash asked Yusaku, wanting to find a place to rest.

Yusaku looked at Ash, before he nodded to Ash. "I know a place. My friend Kolter has a food stand that he uses to sell Hotdogs. I was on my way there when I saw you on the ground''. Yusaku said to Ash, telling him about his friend Kolter.

Ash looked interested at what Yusaku said. "That will do it nicely, could you take us there?'' Ash asked Yusaku if he could take him, Lulu and Saya to his friend's food stand. Yusaku nodded to Ash, making the White Dragon emperor smile, before Ash looked back at Saya and Lulu. "Lulu, Saya, Yusaku is gonna take us to his friend's food stand so that we can rest, so be good alright''. Ash said to his girlfriend and daughter. Lulu and Saya looked at Ash, before they nodded to him.

Yusaku then started walking to where his friend's food stand is, with Ash, Saya and Lulu following him with Saya giving Ash back his duel disk, causing Ash to smile at her and Azure to calm his eye down, losing the red.

(10 minutes later)

Yusaku, Ash, Lulu and Saya have been walking together now for 10 minutes. Yusaku stopped in an area that looks like it will be used for a concert or something, making Ash, Saya and Lulu stop. "This is where your friend Kolter's food stand is''. Ash asked Yusaku if this was the place. Yusaku nodded to Ash, before he walked over to a yellow van that looked like it was selling Hotdogs.

"Kolter, I'm here''. Yusaku said to no one standing in front of the Hotdog van. Then a man that looked 18 or 19-years-old. The man had Purple hair, purple eye brows, purple eyes, wearing black shirt, pants and shoes, and had a white apron. The man smiled when he saw Yusaku. "Yusaku, you're a little late then usual''. The man said to Yusaku, before he looked behind Yusaku to see Ash, Lulu and Saya. "Huh, Yusaku, who are these people?''. The Man said to Yusaku, surprised to see Yusaku around other people.

Ash stepped in front of the van. "My name is Ash, sir. The two ladies behind me are called Lulu, my girlfriend and Saya, our adopted daughter''. Ash said to the man called Kolter, introducing himself, his girlfriend and daughter.

The man called Kolter and Yusaku looked surprised to hear about Saya being Ash and Lulu's adopted daughter. Kolter then smiled at Ash with a friendly presence around him. "Hello Ash, my name is Kolter. Nice to meet you''. Kolter greeted as he held his right hand out to Ash for a handshake, which Ash accepted as they both had a handshake.

Yusaku then looked back at Kolter. "They need a place to rest. Mind if they rest here''. Yusaku said to his friend, asking if Ash, Lulu and Saya could rest here. Kolter nodded to Yusaku with a smile. "Sure, after all a friend of Yusaku is a friend to me''. Kolter said to Yusaku, smiling at him.

Ash smiled at Kolter in thanks. "Thanks, Kolter for your generosity''. Ash said thanking Kolter, before he looked back to Saya and Lulu, who was holding Saya'a hand. "We got the okay to rest here''. Ash said to Lulu and Saya, making them smile.

Ash went to lean against the van with his arms crossed, while Saya decided to play hid and seek, which Lulu decided to play with her daughter, while Yusaku brought out a chair out of the van and sat down on it, while Kolter cooked some sausages. Ash then decided to check his White Dragon deck to see if he didn't lose any of his cards, and sighed in relief when he saw that he had all his Cards.

"So Yusaku, how did you met Ash, his lovely girlfriend and cute daughter''. Kolter asked Yusaku, wanting to hear how Yusaku met Ash, Lulu and Saya. Yusaku looked at his friend. "I found Ash knocked out in the park and went to see if his alright, then we searched for his Girlfriend and daughter and found them just leaving a Duel Disk shop''. Yusaku said to Kolter, telling him how he met Ash, Saya and Lulu.

Kolter looked shocked at what Yusaku said, before he looked at Ash. "Why were you knocked out in the park and are you alright''. Kolter said to Ash, sounding worried for him. Ash looked at Kolter, while still holding his cards. "I'm fine, and the reason why I was knocked-out in the park is because of this guy''. Ash said as he brought out his duel disk with his left hand and held it out for Kolter to see Azure's eye in Ash's Duel disk.

Kolter looked shocked to see Azure, while Azure moved his eye to the side of the screen to look at Ash. "I'm sorry already''. Azure said to Ash, saying sorry for taking Ash out of his world. "You pulled me, Lulu and Saya out of our world and brought us to a different world, so sorry isn't gonna fully make me accept your apology. Still your reason must be important''. Ash said to Azure, turning his Duel disk around to look at Azure.

Kolter now looked confused about what Ash said. "What dose Ash mean by world''. Kolter asked, wondering what Ash meant. "What Ash means is that he, Lulu and Saya are from another world that has duel monsters''. Yusaku said turning his head to look at Kolter. Kolter looked at Yusaku in shock, before he looked at Ash. "You're from another world''. Kolter said to Ash in shock, which Ash nodded to him, making Kolter look even more shock.

Ash however, took notice of smoke coming from the Sausages that Kolter was cooking. "If you don't focus on your cooking, you'll know full well how hot a 'hot dog' is, Kolter''. Ash said to Kolter, making Kolter snap out of his shocked face, before he looked down to see his Sausages burning, making him panic, before he picked them off the stove and into a plate, making Ash and Yusaku sweet drop.

Lulu and Saya continued to play hid and seek near the hotdog car, with Ash continue looking through his White Dragon deck next to Yusaku, who was still seating on his chair and Kolter who was making new Sausages.

However not far away, a crowd of people were watching the screen showing the Gore and Blue Angel getting to ready to duel in two separate areas inside Link VRAINS. Gore is a tan-skinned man with a built and bulky body. He has dark hair and chin beard and wears a gold hat with red-striped designs. He wears a greenish-grey jacket with a separate collar and a gold, animal-head-shaped necklace. Go is shirtless with only dark pants and a golden belt with a red stone in the center. His boots are buckled with gold plates. On his arms and abdomen, he also wears the gold plates and dark, finger-less gloves.

Blue Angel, true to her name, has long blue hair that she tied into two with blue ribbons. Her eyes and eyebrows are also blue and she has a green clover tattoo on her right cheek. She wears a blue choker and pink heart-shaped winged earrings. Her outfit consists of a white sleeveless shirt with a blue necktie. Underneath, she wears a blue and pink dress with wing-shaped frills, and dark blue thigh-high socks. She wears dark and light blue boots with wings attached to each one. Lastly, she has a pair of white wings with pink heart-shaped and lavender clover-shaped patterns on each wing.

This got Ash's attention as he turns to look at the screen, only to blush a bit upon seeing Blue Angel and how beautiful she is. Only Lulu, Celina, Rin, Verity, Zuzu, Rio, Saya(From Xyz) could make him blush, but somehow from looking at Blue Angel, he could feel his heart beat. "Hey, who are those two on screen? I've see their posters all around town". Ash asked the hacker duo, getting Yusaku and Kolter to look at the screen, before turning to look at Ash. "Those two are George Gore, but he likes to be called the 'Gore' and Blue Angel, two Charisma Duellists of Link VRAINS." Kolter explained to Ash right now at who they are.

"I've never heard of Link VRAINS, I think I've heard of Charisma Duellists before. What are those?" Ash questioned, confuse and never hearing about this before. "Link VRAINS stands for Link Virtual Reality Artificial Intelligence Network System, a virtual data world where Virtual Reality Duels take place. Also, Charisma Duellists are duellists that use stage names, along with an avatar to a stage set up in Link VRAINS for people to watch from VRAINS or outside like that crowd watching. The Gore and Blue Angel are top Charisma Duellists that are crowd favourites in Link VRAINS". Kolter explained the situation about the Gore and Blue Angel to Ash. Ash then nodded, understanding the whole situation right now.

"However, Link Vrains gets attacked by the Knights of Hanoi''. Azure said from Ash's Duel Disk, making Ash bring out his Duel disk to look at Azure. "Knights... of... Hanoi?'' Ash said in confusion about who the Knights of Hanoi are. "They're a group of guys, whose goals are unknown and bring destruction to Link Vrains. However, there is a Duellist who stops them and protects Link Vrains, called Playmaker''. Azure said to Ash, telling him about the Knights of Hanoi and Playmaker, making Ash look interested, while Yusaku and Kolter looked shocked about Azure knowing about Playmaker.

"Playmaker, huh!'' Ash said with interest from hearing that Playmaker protects Link Vrains, starting to feel excited. "Oh, that's got your interest, huh. Playmaker only appears when the Knights of Hanoi attack Link Vrains and he uses a Deck of Cyberse type monsters''. Azure continued to explain to Ash about Playmaker, while Yusaku and Kolter widen their eyes in shock at how Azure knows so much about Playmaker.

Ash however, got even more interested and excited. "Cyberse type monsters, huh. Now I really want to duel this Playmaker''. Ash exclaimed, sounding excited to Duel Playmaker, making Azure's eye look like he was smirking. "Really, well than, why don't you ask him to duel, he is after all right next to you, seating down''. Azure said to Ash, making everyone widen their eyes in shock, before Ash looked at Yusaku. "You're Playmaker, Yusaku''. Ash asked Yusaku, shocked that Playmaker is Yusaku.

Yusaku looked at Azure with a glare. "How do you know so much about me, I've never met you before and the information about me is stored in my duel disk''. Yusaku said to Azure, shocked that Azure knows that he is Playmaker. "You need better security because I checked your Duel disk when you were in Link Vrains without you noticing and checked out your data and found out who you were''. Azure explained to Yusaku, telling him how he knows that Yusaku is Playmaker.

Yusaku still looked shocked, before he looked at Ash. "I understand that you want to duel me, but I don't duel for fun, I duel to find out about my stolen past''. Yusaku said to Ash, telling him that he doesn't duel for fun.

Ash looked at Yusaku confused at what he said. "Your stolen past, what do you mean by that''. Ash asked Yusaku, wanting to know what Yusaku meant by his Stolen past. Yusaku however, looked away from Ash. "I don't feel comfortable telling someone that I just met about my past''. Yusaku said to Ash, not trusting him enough to tell him about his past. Ash sighed, before he smiled at Yusaku. "I understand Yusaku, I won't force you to tell me''. Ash said to Yusaku, telling him that he won't force Yusaku, surprising Yusaku.

Ash, Yusaku and Kolter watched Lulu continue to play hid and seek with Saya. Lulu was currently looking behind a tree, while Saya was hiding behind another tree giggling at how much fun she haves with her mother. Kolter, Yusaku, and Ash watched near the van as Lulu continued to try and find her daughter.

"You know, it's adorable seeing those two play hid and seek together" Kolter said to the people next to him, smiling a bit from watching Lulu and Saya play together. "Yeah, you're right about that". Yusaku said to Kolter, even though he doesn't show it on his face, Yusaku finds this very cute as well.

However, there was something bothering Ash still and now seems like a good time to ask, before he turns to Kolter and Yusaku. "Say you two, since Yusaku is Playmaker and he fights against the Knights of Hanoi, why does he fight them?" Ash asked with his eyes narrowed a bit about their reasons for their actions. Kolter and Yusaku looked at each other for a bit, before they looked towards Ash to answer.

"Well, the reason why we are fighting the Knights of Hanoi is to get back at them for what they did to Yusaku and my little brother, Jin". Kolter explained, surprising Ash about Kolter having a little brother. "Another reason is to learn more about my stolen past as well. Like me, Kolter's brother's past was stolen from him as well''. Yusaku explained his side of the story as well to Ash.

Ash looked at them and what he has learned so far, before he decided on what to do. "Alright, I decided." Ash said as he stood up from his chair, gaining the attention of both hackers. "I'm going to help you two battle against the Knights of Hanoi, help your brother, and recover Yusaku's lost past". Ash declared to help his friends, surprising both hackers at the same time. "What?" Both Yusaku and Kolter muttered with widen-eyes at Ash declaring to help them.

"But why, you don't need to be involved, this has nothing to do with you?" Yusaku asked, confuse at Ash for declaring to help them. "Because it's the right thing to do, and I never turn away people that needs help." Ash answered the hacker duo, surprising them even more at his answer. "But you just met us." Kolter replied to Ash, shocked that Ash would help them. "That won't stop me from still helping you, no matter the situation." Ash said to Kolter about not turning them away, no matter what.

"If I were you guys, I would accept the White Dragon Emperor's help without hesitation''. Azure's voice said, making Ash bring out his Due disk again to look at Azure's eye with his Eyes narrowed. "Care to explain on how you know my title''. Ash asked Azure, while Yusaku and Kolter were confused about Azure calling Ash the White Dragon Emperor. "I checked your Duel Disk's data and found all Data on you. The famous White Dragon Emperor, the strongest duellist of all four dimensions. And who happens to be the youngest duellist to ever become a pro Duellist''. Azure said to Ash, explaining how he knows Ash's title and Ash's Data, making Yusaku and Kolter widen their eyes in shock when they heard Azure say that Ash is a pro Duellist.

"You can't just check other people's Data without their permission, you know that''. Ash said to Azure, who was still in his Duel Disk. Azure's eye then looked like it was sweet dropping. "Sorry, I just wanted to know more about my partner''. Azure said to Ash, saying sorry to him. Ash sighed to himself, before he looked back at Azure. "It's alright, just don't make it a habit''. Ash said to Azure, telling him that it was alright.

"Ash, is what Azure's saying true''. Kolter asked, getting Ash's attention as he looked to see Yusaku and Kolter looking at him in shock. "Are you really a Pro Duellist''. Yusaku asked Ash if what he heard from Azure is true. Ash nodded to him. "Yes, what Azure said is true. I am a Pro Duellist''. Ash said to Yusaku and Kolter, telling them that what they heard is true. Yusaku and Kolter continued to look at Ash in shock, before Kolter went back to cooking his sausages and Yusaku went back to looking at the sky, while Ash went back to checking his deck.

"Ash, you know how dangerous it will be if you help us fight the Knights of Hanoi''. Kolter said to Ash, asking him if he knew how dangerous if he helps them. "I know it will be dangerous, but I'm not gonna turn away. I'm gonna help you guys, whether you like it or not''. Ash said to Kolter, telling him that he won't turn away.

Kolter still looked at Ash in shock, before he smiled and went to get something in his van. After 2 minutes later, Kolter came back, only he was holding a Duel disk that looks like Yusaku's Duel disk, only it was Silver replaced the blue and light blue replacing the red. "If you're gonna help us, then you're gonna need this''. Kolter said to Ash, before he threw the Duel Disk to Ash, who caught it with his left hand.

Ash looked at his new Duel Disk in awe, before he looked back at Kolter. "Thanks, Kolter''. Ash said to Kolter, making him smile. However, then a white flash appeared from Ash's duel disk in his pocket, before it went into Ash's new Duel Disk. Ash looked at his Duel Disk in confusion, before the screen part of it opened to show Azure's eye.

"Not too shabby''. Azure said in Ash's new Duel disk, making Ash look at him in confusion. "What the-how'd you do that''. Ash said to Azure, wanting to know how Azure did that, while putting his deck in his pocket.

Azure's eye then looked smug. "I can enter anyone's Duel Disk if I want and even help them in a Duel''. Azure said to Ash, telling him how he is in Ash's new Duel Disk. "Hey, have either of you two heard of a Data storm''. Kolter suddenly asked Ash and Yusaku if they've heard of a Data Storm. Yusaku asked in wonder at what that was, while Ash looked at Kolter.

"Eh? A Data Storm, never heard of it? What's that?" Ash asked Kolter, confuse about hearing those words for the first time in this world. "Well, I heard rumours that crazy tornadoes used to blew inside Link VRAINS! And thrill seekers would ride those winds and battle on them in speed duels" Kolter explained to Ash, while Azure is listening to the explanation from Ash's Duel disk. "Speed Duels, huh?" Both Ash and Yusaku said in wonder, wanting to know more about Data storms and Speed duels.

"But no one I've known of has seen a Data Storm, but man. Surfing the wind, ha crazy right. But you what's even crazier, those people who say a hot dog is a sandwich. Hahaha some people you two, some people". Kolter continued to explain to Ash and Yusaku about Data storms, getting Ash amazed at hearing that Data Storms can lead to riding the wind.

"What ever happened to the Data Storms and how does someone duel in a Speed Duels?" Ash asked, never hearing such a thing happening, though it did sound a little like a turbo duel. "Allow me to explain to you the basics of speed duels!" Azure answered from the Ash's Duel Disk, getting everyone to look at the AI.

"You see, a Speed Duel is quite different from a normal regular duel. You start out with 4 Cards in your hand instead of 5 with the first person not drawing on the first turn. Also, both players can only have 3 Monster Zones and 3 Spell & Trap Card Zones on the field. There is also no Main Phase 2 either. Also, each player is also allowed to use a one-time rule called a Skill in Speed Duels only!" Azure explained to the others, with Ash now understanding what Speed Duels and Data Storms are now, while Yusaku widen his eyes from what Azure said.

"Any difference here than in your world is the Extra Deck monster zone. It's where monsters from the Extra Deck go. There are only two of them, one for each Duellists and you can only summon one monster from the Extra deck''. Azure explained to Ash about the Extra deck monster zone. "You gotta be kidding me''. Ash said in displeasure at hearing about this extra deck monster zone, not liking it.

"Have you uncovered any new Intel, Kolter?" Yusaku suddenly asked Kolter, eating a hot dog. Kolter explained about Den City's network being strengthened, involving SOL Technology hunting for something in Link VRAINS. This got Ash, Yusaku, and Azure's attention of the situation.

"Hunting for what?" Yusaku wondered what SOL Technology is looking for that's so important. "For an Artificial intelligence program, that's what". Kolter answered, causing Azure to widen his eye in surprise about what he heard. "Did you say... an Artificial Intelligence program?!" Azure shouted out, causing everyone to look at him in surprise at his outburst. "Yeah, I did. Why?" Kolter asked, never seeing Azure act like this before, along with everyone else.

"I think I might know this runaway artificial program!" Azure replied to Kolter, getting everyone's attention. "You do?" Ash asked his new AI partner, surprised that he knows the run-away AI. "I never heard of an AI on the run before, along with it not being sentient like a human, except Azure here." Yusaku answered, also wanting to know how Azure is connection to this particular AI as well.

"Before most of my memories were missing, I remember following another AI program in the system". Azure explained as best as he could to the others that are listening. "Really? And you think this might be the same one you were following?" Yusaku wondered to the AI in Ash's Duel disk.

"Maybe, but like I said, most of my memories are missing at this time. I only remember that the AI that I was looking for is Black and purple". Azure said to his companions about what he knows. Kolter also explained that there's going to be a wide-range scan to look for the AI as well soon. This caused Yusaku to get worried about how this will leave SOL Technology vulnerable to the Knights of Hanoi.

Yusaku then realized what the thing that SOL Technology is looking for during one of his duels with a Knight of Hanoi in the past about something being out of place. "I got it!" Yusaku called out, getting the attention of Ash and Azure, who looked at the amnesiac hacker. Yusaku then told Kolter about things getting busy and entered the car, with Ash following with Azure still in his Duel disk after Yusaku into the van as well. Kolter complained about getting ready for customers at night, but Yusaku has other plans that don't involve selling hot dogs for tonight.

Inside the Van, Yusaku has a plan to capture the AI in the system. What Yusaku said confused everyone in the Van at this moment. "Not only is SOL Technology after the AI, but the Hanoi is after it too". Yusaku explained the situation to the others. "If we can capture the AI, it can be used as a trump card against Hanoi." Yusaku continued, surprising Ash and Azure about this plan.

"Really? You wanna capture this AI and used him as a hostage?" Azure questioned about what his getting into at the moment. "More like a bargaining chip". Yusaku replied back to Azure, typing at the computer endlessly for a route. This caused Azure and Ash to look at each other, before they looked back at Yusaku and Kolter.

Yusaku then explained about having this AI enter his Duel Disk. "Good luck with that''. Kolter said to Yusaku, a bit sceptical about Yusaku's plan. "I don't need luck, I have you!" Yusaku replied to the other hacker. This surprised Kolter, before he smiled as well, before he begins typing away as well to create the escape route. "Alright then, let us help too!" Ash replied, getting the attention of both hackers, who looked at him confused.

"Huh? How exactly are you gonna help?" Kolter asked Ash and Azure, confused at how they'll help. "Simple. Azure can connect with the system, making the search go faster, and I have experience in computers as well. After all, my dad is a brilliant scientist as well". Ash answered back, surprising the hackers at the answer given to them, before they smiled at Ash. "Alright. You both can help". Kolter replied to Ash, accepting his help.

"Besides, the more help can make things go faster to catch the AI as well". Yusaku answered as well, accepting Ash's help. Just then, an extra board appear and a plug that Ash used to connect with his new Duel Disk for Azure to help out. Ash then started typing away as fast as Kolter and Yusaku did before, while Kolter and Yusaku were surprised at Ash's skills, while Azure started his work as well.

Meanwhile, Lulu and Saya were part of the crowd, getting ready to watch the Gore and Blue Angel duel in VRAINS with the cheering crowd. Lulu had her arms around Saya's shoulders as they watched in excitement. "Isn't this exciting, Mama?" Saya asked her mother, feeling excited from watching the Gore and Blue Angel duel. "Yes, Saya. Even I'm feeling excited to watch these two". Lulu replied to her daughter with a smile, enjoying this moment to spend time with her daughter that she loves with her heart.

Suddenly, something was happening to the screens in VRAINS, with the Gore and Blue Angel having confuse looks about what was happening, causing the crowd, including Lulu and Saya, to get worried. "Mama, what's going on?" Saya asked her mother, scared and holding on to Lulu tightly, afraid of what would happen. "I don't know, Saya". Lulu replied to her daughter, comforting her as best as she can.

Meanwhile, the hacker group notice something wrong with the program they were typing/hacking. "This program... it's the Knights of Hanoi!" Kolter muttered, realizing that the Hanoi is making their move, sooner than expected. "Terrific, the Hanoi's here, huh?" Yusaku said, then narrowed his eyes a bit, feeling a feeling that he hasn't felt before. "What am I... feeling?" Yusaku wondered about what he felt at this moment, which Ash took notice, but decided now was not the time.

"Then we better hurry and get this escape route finished before the Knights catch it!" Ash replied, furiously typing away nonstop at the keyboard as fast as he can. "Otherwise, we can kiss our chances goodbye!" Azure answered to the group inside the computer, still overriding the system as fast as he can at the moment.

Meanwhile, back at the crowd, two dragons being controlled by two Knights of Hanoi were causing havoc in VRAINS, looking for the Ignis AI, destroying everything in sight, even duellist. Back with the crowds, the damage in VRAINS was also affecting the Real World, causing some screens to break and turn off. Not to mention causing rocks to fall as well above the crowd. "Mama!" Saya cried out to Lulu, now feeling afraid. "Saya, stay close to me!" Lulu told her daughter as they both run with the crowd from the danger.

"The Hanoi is causing some real trouble!" Kolter exclaimed to the others, taking notice of what was happening outside. "If we don't finish this program soon, things aren't gonna be so pretty!" Ash muttered, worried about the damage being done by the Knights of Hanoi. He was also worried about Lulu and Saya.

"I'm almost finished". Yusaku told Ash and Kolter, looking at the screen as typed as fast as he can. "Well you better finish soon! Otherwise, there won't be a Link VRAINS for anyone!" Azure explained the dangerous situation to everyone who was in the Van at this time.

"If we get this AI, he'll become our saviour!" Yusaku answered to everyone, knowing that they will have a chance if they succeed. "But this looks impossible?" Kolter said with a bit of sweat coming down his face. "The impossible is just the possible that hasn't been done yet, so quite complaining!'' Ash said replied to Kolter, going as fast as he can so help the people for Link VRAINS.

"Ash is right. I feel like this can work! It has too!" Yusaku said in agreement to what Ash said, still staring at the screen, focused on task. "You're in luck, because I just finished our little breed crumps road!" Azure called out as a screen showed up to show that they created the alternate route. "Well done Azure!" Ash said to Azure with a smile, before he disconnected him to greet their 'guest'.

Yusaku, Kolter, Ash, and Azure, who was attached to Ash's Duel Disk again, then ran out of the car, with a still panicking crowd, just before electricity began to form outside. "If the AI took the bait, it'll come straight here!'' Yusaku called out as he ran towards the electricity, before raising his arm that has his Duel Disk on. Ash, Kolter and Azure watched as the electricity started to disappear, before an eye, similar to Azure appeared on Yusaku's duel disk, only black and orange.

"Whoa?!" The Ai called out in surprise at what just happened to me. "Hello there. You must be the AI that everyone wants''. Yusaku greeted the AI with a natural expression. "Huh! Where am I!'' The AI asked, looking around. "Inside my Duel Disk. And I spliced in some safe guards so that you can't get out''. Yusaku answered the AI's question. "So I'm trapped in here! Who are you clowns!'' The AI program said in shock at what he just heard.

"Clowns who rescued you from the Knights of Hanoi?" Kolter stated, leaning forward to look at the AI program, which made him narrow his eye in annoyance. "I'm sorry I called you stupid ugly clowns! Please let me go". The Ai said with anime tears coming down his eye, asking nicely to be let go.

"Asking nicely isn't gonna get you off the hook so easily''. Ash told the AI program, telling him that asking nicely won't work. "I can see that your still the same as ever, Dark Ignis." Azure said to the AI from Ash's Duel disk, causing the Dark Ignis to look at where Azure is, before his eye widen in disbelief.

"No way, is that you Azure?! Buddy, how you are and where have you been?!" The dark Ignis asked in surprise from seeing his friend. "Last thing I remembered was following you, till I saw became a robot's lunch. I got separated from the others and now just hanging around". Azure answered in return, while greeting his old friend.

However, everyone than heard a Dragon roar, making them all look at the screen, only to see Blue Angel trying to run from a Knight of Hanoi, with the knight and his Dragon looking at her. Ash's eyes widen when he saw this. "We gotta help her''. Ash said to Yusaku and Kolter, while looking at the TV.

Yusaku nodded to Ash, before he ran to the Van with Ash following him. "Hey, where are we going?'' The Dark Ignis asked Yusaku, still in his Duel Disk. "To Link Vrains''. Yusaku replied to Ignis, as he and Ash jumped into the Van. The dark Ignis's eye widen at what Yusaku said. "What, but, but I just got out of there''. The dark Ignis said to Yusaku, complaining about going back. "Suck it up, Dark Ignis. We're going back weather you like it or not''. Azure said to his friend, still inside of Ash's Duel Disk.

Yusaku then opened a door in the van, but he looked back at Ash. "Ash, in order to enter Link Vrains, you have to create your own Avatar. But we don't have time''. Yusaku said to Ash, telling him that he needs to create his own Avatar, but took some time. Ash granted his teeth from what Yusaku said. "Already done''. Azure called out, getting Ash and Yusaku to look at him. "While we were hanging out, I was creating Ash's avatar for him''. Azure explained, making Ash and Yusaku nod to him, before Yusaku entered the room and Ash waited outside.

Ash and Yusaku brought out their decks from their jackets and slotted it in their duel disk. "Time to link into the Vrains!'' Ash and Yusaku called out as they slotted their decks in their duel disk, before the words "Into the Vrains'' appeared on the sides of their Duel Disk, before they logged into Link VRAINS.

Screens appeared all over Ash and Yusaku, while Ash's Duel Disk glowed White. Then Ash and Yusaku started to change into their Vrains Avatars. Yusaku's clothes changed to a black and green outfit with a golden stripe going across his body and a grey belt at the waistline. His hair colour also changes to yellow and red with pink strips and accents. This is Yusaku's Link Vrains Avatar, Playmaker.

Ash however, went a completely change. First Ash's legs glowed, before they changed to White scaly skin like a dragon's. His shoes turned into silver boots, with four claws sticking out, three at the front and one at the back. Ash's pants turned into Long White track pants with custom made scales on it and Ash even grew a Long White Dragon tail with the edge looking sharp as a sword.

Ash's shirt disappeared, before a Black short-sleeve shirt appeared, before an open high collar White long sleeve jacket appeared over the shirt. Ash's hands turned into Dragon claws with five fingers with Razor blades at his elbows.

Ash grew White Dragons wings like NovaForce Stardust Dragon's wings, shedding White energy like his ace monster. His hair colour turned White and silver, his ears turned into White Dragon ears. Ash's teeth turned into Dragon fangs, while a White Dragon mask that looks identical to Nightshroud's mask appeared over Ash's face, covering his face from view and finally, Ash's eyes turned into Dragon eyes that glow White.

Ash and Playmaker appeared in the sky of Link Vrains, in the same area that they saw Blue Angel was in. Playmaker turned to look at Ash's Avatar, before he gasped in amazement from how Ash's Avatar is designed. Ash however, didn't waste time to look at his Avatar. Ash spread his new Wings open, before he took flight towards where he saw the Knights of Hanoi were attacking.

Meanwhile, Blue Angel was still running from the Knight of Hanoi and his mysterious Dragon. "Your toast!" The knight called out as his dragon breathed a fire breath attack to destroy Blue Angel. The attack was so close, until a white blur appeared from nowhere and grabbed Blue Angel in bride style, before he jumped out of the way of the flames. Blue Angel looked at her saviour, and she was surprised at his looks.

The saviour was Ash, only in his Link Vrains's Avatar. Ash even has his Duel Disk that looks like Playmaker's Duel disk on as well. Blue Angel was speechless at her saviour's looks and how his Avatar is designed, before she responded. "Umm, thanks for the save?!" Blue Angel asked Ash, thanking him for saving her. The knight of Hanoi on the Dragon was also confused at this new person interfering with his work, before his dragon then turns to look at Ash and Blue Angel.

"You dare interfere, punk?!" The Knight of Hanoi said to the intruder, wanting to know who he is. Ash looked at the Knight, before he readies his duel disk at the knight, ready to face him in a duel. "Oh I do dare, and this punk's name is White Dragon Mask". Ash responded to the knight of Hanoi, using his old super hero's name.

Playmaker then landed next to White Dragon Mask. "And I'm Playmaker''. Playmaker said to the Knight of Hanoi. "And we have what your looking for, right here''. Playmaker continued as he raised his Duel Disk to show Ignis's eye. Ash also raised his Duel Disk to show Azure. "And here's something else that you might like''. White Dragon Mask said to the Knight of Hanoi.

Then the second Knight of Hanoi and his Dragon appeared next to the other Knight of Hanoi. "That's the Ignis!''. The Knight of Hanoi number one said to his comrade, looking at the Dark Ignis. "And that's another Ignis''. The second Knight of Hanoi said, looking at Azure. "If you two don't call off your attack, the both of you will regret it. Because I'll delete this AI right now'' Playmaker said to the Knights of Hanoi, making Ash, Azure and the Dark Ignis's eyes widen. "Whoa whoa what! I decided I don't like you''. The Dark Ignis said to Playmaker, glaring at him. "If you want both these AIs, than get your decks out and duel us''. White Dragon Mask said to the Knights of Hanoi.

The Knights of Hanoi smirked at White Dragon Mask and Playmaker. "Why thank you, you two have saved us the trouble of capturing them. Those Ignis are as good as ours''. Knight of Hanoi one said to White Dragon Mask and Playmaker. White Dragon Mask then looked at PlayMaker. "Playmaker, I'll take care of one of the Knights, you take care of the other one''. White Dragon Mask said to Playmaker, telling him that he'll duel one of them. PlayMaker looked at White Dragon Mask, before he nodded to him.

White Dragon Mask then looked at the Knight of Hanoi on the right. White Dragon Mask than pointed at him with his left claw. "Follow me if you wanna get Azure!'' White Dragon Mask called out before he spread his wings again and took flight into the sky. Ash took of towards the City area of Link Vrains, with the Second Knight chasing after him.

---

(2 Minutes later)

White Dragon Mask has been flying for two minutes, before he landed on the ground with the Knight of Hanoi jumping off his Dragon, which disappeared when the Knight jumped off. Now White Dragon Mask and the Knight of Hanoi were standing against each other in the city of Link Vrains, standing a few feet away from each other.

"Just to let you know, That Dragon that guy has is powerful. If he summons it, things won't be so easy''. Azure warned Ash from inside his Duel Disk. White Dragon Mash chuckled at what Azure said. "That's what makes a duel so much fun. You get to challenge yourself and reach new heights''. White Dragon Mask said to his AI partner, feeling pretty confident.

"Besides from what you told me, this guy relies on this Dragon too much, so if we crush it, we crush his spirit''. White Dragon Mask continued as he could hear his White Dragons roars of excitement from his deck.

Azure chuckled from Ash's answer. "The data I found out about you was true. I'm glad that you are my partner. Alright, let's wreck this guy!'' Azure said to Ash, before his eye glowed white. "But first let's spice things up a bit!'' Azure called out, getting Ash to look at him. "Cyberse, generate new Data material!'' Azure called out, before his eye glowed brightly, while shooting a beam into the sky, creating a White portal of some kind, before strong winds came out and fill the city. "That's…''. The Knight of Hanoi said in shock, while Ash looked at the sky.

Then something fast came out of the portal, heading towards Ash. "Hop on!'' Azure told Ash, while Ash looked at the speeding object heading towards him. Ash did what Azure said and jumped, before he landed on the object.

Ash finally saw what the object was. It was a hover board. It was White with Blue Dragon marks on it. Ash was surprised, before he gained control of his Duel board. He rides his Duel Hover board, riding the wind with a smile on his face. "Get ready for a speed duel, partner!'' Azure called out in Ash's Duel Disk. "Alright''. White Dragon Mask called out as he rides his Duel Hover board higher in the air, with his Wings still shedding energy, which was being blown in the breeze, before he landed back on the wind.

Ash leaned left a little and the Hover board went left a little, Ash then leaned right and the Hover board went right a little. Ash smirked again as he leaned a little forward and the Duel Hover board went a little faster than before, which is now going very fast.

Ash rode his Duel Hover board left and right to pass some Link Vrains Buildings. Ash smiled at feeling the wind blow against him. "This is a Speed Duel, huh''. White Dragon Mask said, looking at Azure, who is still in his Duel Disk. "Yup, one more thing. You remember the difference between a normal and Speed duels that I explained''. Azure said to Ash, wanting to know if Ash remembers the rules that he explained.

"Off course, I do. The starting hand is 4 instead of 5, The monster, spell and Trap zone limit is 3 now, no main phase 2 and can only use a skill once''. Ash said to Azure, still looking ahead to know where to ride his Hover board. "Good, you remembered. Also be very careful to not fall okay. Damage in Link VRAINS can damage your body in the real world, so don't fall''. Azure told White Dragon Mask to be carefully and not fall.

White Dragon Mask never got the chance to reply, because the Knight of Hanoi appeared, riding his own Duel Board that looks like a white surfboard a little bit away from White Dragon Mask. "I've got my eye on you and you'll regret getting in my way''. The Knight of Hanoi said with a smirk. Ash however, smirked back at him. "So, he can Speed Duel as well, huh. Well the fun is about to begin''. White Dragon Mask called out, feeling excited for the first time in a long time. "Show me the Power of the White Dragon Emperor!''. Azure said to Ash, still in his Duel Disk, wanting to see Ash's power.

White Dragon Mask and The Knight of Hanoi then ride their Duel Hover boards towards each other, before they passed each other. "Let's Speed Duel!'' White Dragon Mask and The Knight of Hanoi shouted out as Ash's Duel Disk activate its Duel blade that is White.

White Dragon Mask Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards: 4.

Knight of Hanoi Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards: 4.

White Dragon Mask kept riding his Duel Hover board forward, while the Knight of Hanoi shifted his Duel Hover Board to chase after White Dragon Mask. "First move is mine!'' The Knight of Hanoi said as four cards appeared in front of him. The Knight of Hanoi smirked at his seeing his starting hand, while Ash looked over his right shoulder. "I summon out Hack Worm!'' The Knight of Hanoi said as his cards disappeared and a machine-like Worm appeared on his field, staying by the Knight's side, like in a turbo Duel.

Hack Work ATK Points: 400.

"I can special summon this card if my opponent controls no monsters on his field''. The Knight of Hanoi said, explaining Hack Worm's effect as Ash narrowed his eyes at him. 'A level one monster with a special summon. He must want to summon a high-level monster right away'. Ash thought to himself, seeing this strategy before. Ash was right, because his opponent special summons another Hack Worm on his field.

Hack Worm ATK Points: 400.

Then a card appeared in the Knight's hand, before it disappeared. "I release my two Hack Works to advance summon my Cracking Dragon!'' The Knight of Hanoi said as the two Worms turned into yellow sparks, before they mixed together to form the same Dragon that the Knight used to attack Link Vrains.

Cracking Dragon ATK Points: 3000.

Cracking Dragon stayed next to the Knight's side, while Ash narrowed his eyes at Cracking Dragon. "3000 ATK Points on the first turn, huh''. White Dragon Mask thought to himself, looking at Cracking Dragon. "With this, I'll end my turn''. The Knight of Hanoi said, ending his turn.

White Dragon Mask Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 4.

"This is not good. With that Dragon out, things aren't looking well''. Azure said from inside Ash's Duel Disk, a little intimidated by Cracking Dragon. "Get a grip, even if Mr. Cocky has a monster with 3000 ATK Points, a duel is not over till the last card is played''. White Dragon Mask said to Azure, looking at his cards in his hand. However, White Dragon Mask's thoughts then turned to Lulu and Saya. 'I hope they're all right'. White Dragon Mask thought to himself, worried for his Girlfriend and daughter.

(With Lulu and Saya)

Back in the real world, Lulu and Saya were next to Kolter, watching Playmaker and White Dragon Mask duel against the Knights of Hanoi on a screen that was used to watch Blue Angel and the Gore's Duel, along with many people watching the Duel as well. Kolter turned to look at Lulu and Saya. "I hope Ash is as strong as Azure said he is''. Kolter said to Lulu and Saya, worried that Ash isn't strong enough to Duel the Knights of Hanoi. Lulu had her hands wrapped around Saya's shoulders, who was watching the Duel between White Dragon Mask and the Knight of Hanoi.

Lulu looked at Kolter and smiled. "Don't worry about him. If Ash feels like it, he could win in one turn''. Lulu said to Kolter, having full confidence in her boyfriend. Kolter looked at Lulu in surprise, before he nodded to her, before he turned back to the screen, looking forward to seeing how Ash duels.

(With Ash)

White Dragon Mask placed his right-hand claw on the top card of his Deck. "My Turn now! Draw!'' White Dragon Mask shouted out as he drawled his card, making a powerful shockwave that forced the Knight of Hanoi's Duel Board to wobble.

Ash placed the card that he drawled in his hand as he looked at his options. Ash smirked when he can up with a Strategy. Ash picked a card from his hand and held it with his Right-hand's Index and middle finger. "If I control no monsters on my field, I can special summon this monster from my hand. Come forth White Dragon – Wind Striker!''. White Dragon Mask said as he placed the card on his Duel Blade, with a white portal appearing on Ash's right side, before Ash's Dragon came out with his wings spread out to fly next to White Dragon Mask.

Wind Striker looked like the same as 2 years ago, only a little bigger, like a few inches bigger than Ash.

(White Dragon- Wind Striker/ Level 4/ Attribute: Wind/ Type: Dragon/Pendulum/ ATK: 1600/ DEF: 1400/ Pendulum scale: 1/ Effect/ Pendulum effect: This card can only be used to Pendulum summon White Dragon monsters. If a White Dragon monster you control looses ATK points by an effect, that White Dragon monster cannot be destroyed by battle and any battle damage is negated that involves the selected monster/Effect: If you control no monsters, you can special summon this card to the field. When this card battles, your opponent cannot activate spells, traps or monster effects.)

The Knight of Hanoi looked at Ash's Dragon in shock. "White Dragon?'' The Knight of Hanoi said, having no Data of White Dragon monsters. "It doesn't matter, since you summoned a Monster, you activate Cracking Dragon's effect. Your Dragon now loses 200 ATK Points X it's Level and you take Damage equal to the amount that your Dragon lost. Cracking fall!''. The Knight of Hanoi said as his Dragon let out a roar creating a Shockwave heading towards White Dragon Mask and Wind Striker, only for a force field to appear that blocked Cracking Dragon's roar. "What!''. The Knight of Hanoi said in shock.

White Dragon Mask smirked at the Knight of Hanoi. "I activated the quick Play Spell card, Forbidden Chalice!'' White Dragon Mask said as the spell card appeared on his field. "In exchange of increasing your monster's ATK Points by 400, it's effect is negated!'' White Dragon Mask explained his spell's effect as Cracking Dragon powered up.

Cracking Dragon ATK Points: 3000 + 400 = 3400.

The Knight of Hanoi granted his teeth when he saw his plan backfire. White Dragon Mask then slotted another card from his hand into his Duel Disk. "Now I play the Spell, Graceful charity. Now I can draw three cards from my deck, but must discard 2 after''. White Dragon Mask said as he drawled three cards from his Deck and looked at them, with the cards in his hand, before he smirked and sent 2 cards to the graveyard zone of his Duel Disk.

White Dragon Mask then picked a card from his hand, before he placed it on his Duel Blade. "Now I normal summon White Dragon – Zenith''. White Dragon Mask said as another portal appeared, before Zenith appeared from it, and like Wind Striker, Zenith is older and a little bigger than before.

(White Dragon - Zenith (LV4 ATK 1600 Def 1400) Light/Dragon/Pendulum/Effect

S8 Pendulum Effect: You can declare a level, all White Dragon monsters currently on the field become that level until End Phase.

Effect: When this card is normal summoned, special summon one White Dragon monster from your graveyard with its effects negated.)

White Dragon Mask than held his right-hand claw out. "I play Zenith's effect! When he is normal summoned, I'm allowed to summon a White Dragon Monster from my graveyard with its effect negated''. White Dragon Mask said as a card slotted out of his Duel Disk, before he grabbed it and placed it on his Duel Blade. "Come on out! White dragon - Pendulum Wyvern!'' Another portal appeared, before Pendulum Wyvern appeared from it, only older and a little bigger than before.

(White dragon - Pendulum wyvern

Lv4 scale 9 light/dragon/pendulum/effect

ATK: 1600 DEF: 1400.

Pendulum effect: If a white dragon or Stardust monster is targeted by spell trap or monster effects, you can send this card to your hand to negate the activation and if you do, destroy it. You cannot set this card on the pendulum scale when you activate this effect until your next turn. Monster effect: when this monster is summoned, you can send up to two white dragon monsters from your graveyard to your deck and destroy up to two spell or traps on your opponent's field)

All three Dragons flied side by side behind their master with White Dragon Mask smiling at them. "Even if you summon three monsters, they cannot hope to destroy Cracking Dragon''. The Knight of Hanoi said to White Dragon Mask, with his teeth granted. White Dragon Mask chuckled at the Knight of Hanoi. "Which is what the last card in my hand is for''. White Dragon Mask said as he held the spell with his right claw, confusing the Knight of Hanoi.

"Oi, are you sure about this. You'll draw unwanted attention if you use it''. Azure said to White Dragon Mask, warning him if he uses his card, then he'll have attention on him. White Dragon Mask looked at Azure, before he nodded, while shifted left to go past a Building with his Dragons tearing past the building.

"Alright, go all out''. Azure said to his partner, encouraging him. White Dragon Mask nodded to him, before he held it out. "I activate the Spell Card, White Dragon Fusion''. White Dragon Mask said as he slotted his Fusion card into his Duel Disk.

(White Dragon Fusion (Spell)

You can fusion summon one Fusion monster by sending White Dragon monsters from your hand, field or deck to the graveyard. During either players turn, banish this card from your graveyard and any time you would lose life points you would gain it instead. This effect lasts till End Phase.)

The spell card appeared next to White Dragon Mask, while the Knight of Hanoi was confused. "Fusion?'' The Knight of Hanoi said in confusion, having no idea what Fusion is. "White Dragon Fusion allows me to send White Dragon monsters from my Deck to the Graveyard and lets me use those two Dragons to Fusion Summon!''. White Dragon Mask explained his Spell's effect, making The Knight of Hanoi look in shock. "What's a Fusion Summon!'' The Knight of Hanoi asked in shock.

Two Cards slotted out of Ash's Deck and White Dragon Mask grabbed them and held them with his right-hand Claw's Index and Middle claw. "I Fuse my White Dragon – Cracked Scale and White Dragon – Silver Wing''. Ash said as he sent the two cards to the graveyard, with the Two Dragons appearing on his field, also a little bigger than two years ago, before they got sucked in by a Purple Portal.

"Time to show ya what a real dragon can do!'' White Dragon Mask called out as a card slotted out of his Duel Disk and White Dragon Mask grabbed it. "I fusion summon, White Dragon - Razor whip!''. White Dragon Mask shouted out as he placed the card on his Duel blade, a little above the other cards. From the Purple Portal, appeared Razor Whip, only a little bigger and 2 years older.

(White Dragon - Razor Whip/ Level: 8/ ATK Points: 2700/ DEF Points: 2000/ Attribute: Light/ Type: Dragon/ Fusion/ Effect/ Requirements: Two Dragon type monsters/ Effect: The ATK points of all monsters on the field besides this card is halved. This card gains 500 ATK Points for each monster that's ATK Points that are halved. When this card is sent to the graveyard, special summon one monster from the graveyard)

"What…is this!'' The Knight of Hanoi said in shock about seeing White Dragon Mask Fusion summon.

---

(With Lulu and Saya)

Everyone is staring at the screen in shock at seeing White Dragon Mask fusion summoning Razor Whip. Even Kolter was in shock from seeing Ash fusion summon, while Lulu and Saya smiled at seeing this.

Kolter looked at Lulu and Saya. "How did Ash summon that Dragon? I've never heard of this Fusion summon before''. Kolter asked Lulu and Saya, still in shock about seeing Ash fusion summon.

Lulu looked at Kolter, while Saya kept looking at the screen in excitement. "Fusion summon is one of the 4 top summoning methods back at our home world. Its where you fuse monsters to summon a Fusion monster from the Extra deck''. Lulu said to Kolter, telling him about Fusion Summoning, before she looks back at the screen. Kolter still looked shocked, before he looked back at the screen as well.

(With Ash)

"I play Razor Whip's ability! As long as his on the field, the ATK points of all monsters are halved''. White Dragon Mask said as he shifted his Hover board to look at The Knight of Hanoi. Razor Whip then lashed out its Tail at Cracking Dragon, causing cracks to appear on Cracking Dragon's Body when the tail slammed into it, before he lashed out his Tail at Ash's White Dragon Monsters, but didn't hurt them and pasted through them.

White Dragon – Wind Striker ATK Points: 1600 – 800 = 800.

White Dragon – Zenith ATK Points: 1600 – 800 = 800.

White Dragon – Pendulum Wyvern ATK Points: 1600 – 800 = 800.

Cracking Dragon ATK Points: 3400 – 1700 = 1700.

The Knight of Hanoi looked at his Dragon in shock, while Ash readjusted his Duel Hover board. "Razor Whip also gains 500 ATK Points for Every monster that ATK Points were just cut in half''. White Dragon Mask said as Razor Whip gained a Purple aura.

White Dragon – Razor Whip ATK Points: 2700 + 500 = 3200 + 500 = 3700 + 500 = 4200 + 500 = 4700.

The Knight of Hanoi stared in shock at how powerful Razor Whip is. White Dragon Mask than shifted his Duel Hover board side ways to look at The Knight of Hanoi. "Razor Whip, slice and dice Cracking Dragon''. White Dragon Mask said as Razor Whip turned around to look at Cracking Dragon. "Razor Slash Strike!'' White Dragon Mask shouted out as Razor Whip roared, before he lashed out its tail, only with purple Fire and strikes Cracking Dragon, who exploded from Razor Whip's Attack, making The Knight of Hanoi's Hover board almost strike into a building, but missed. (4700 – 1700 = 3000)

Knight of Hanoi's Life Points: 4000 – 3000 = 1000.

The Knight of Hanoi stared in shock at where Cracking Dragon was just destroyed. "My Cracking Dragon! Destroyed, how!''. The Knight of Hanoi said in shock. "Now go Zenith, attack him directly!'' White Dragon Mask called out as Zenith charged and slashed the Knight of Hanoi, who flinched in pain.

Knight of Hanoi's life points: 1000 – 800 = 200.

"I could just end this, but I'll end my turn here. Also my Dragon loses 500 ATK Points since Cracking Dragon is gone''. White Dragon Mask said as he readjusted his Duel Hover board.

White Dragon – Razor Whip ATK Points: 4700 – 500 = 4200.

Knight of Hanoi Life Points: 200/ Numbers of cards in hand: 1.

The Knight of Hanoi than granted his teeth in anger. "My turn now! And I'll use my Skill!''. The Knight of Hanoi said, very angry with White Dragon Mask for destroying Cracking Dragon and being spared. Ash looked at Azure, who was still in his Duel Disk. "He seems angry''. Azure said to Ash, seeing the Knight of Hanoi get angry.

"Now that he is angry, he'll loose his cool and not think straight''. White Dragon Mask said to Azure, knowing that the Knight of Hanoi will make reckless moves. "I Play the Skill; Rebirth summon, to bring back Cracking Dragon''. The Knight of Hanoi said, explaining his Skill's effect, making Ash's eyes widen in shock.

"Say what!'' White Dragon Mask called out, not expecting that kind of Skill. "The Knights of Hanoi must have created it for themselves''. Azure said in shock, never hearing about this kind of Skill.

"Come forth, Cracking Dragon!''. The Knight of Hanoi said as his machine Dragon appeared from a Blue portal, looking brand new.

Cracking Dragon ATK Points: 3000.

White Dragon narrowed his eyes at Cracking Dragon. "However, since you summoned that Dragon back, Razor Whip's effect reactivates''. White Dragon Mask said as Razor Whip lashed out its tail at Cracking Dragon, creating cracks on Cracking Dragon again.

Cracking Dragon ATK Points: 3000 – 1500 = 1500.

The Knight of Hanoi granted his teeth in frustration from seeing his powerful monster loos ATK Points again. "Razor Whip now gains another 500 ATK Points since Cracking Dragon's ATK Points were cut in half''. White Dragon Mask said, smirking as Razor Whip gains another purple aura.

White Dragon – Razor Whip ATK Points: 4200 + 500 = 4700.

The Knight of Hannoi granted his teeth harder, but still draw his card. The Knight's card then disappeared as it reappeared on his field. "I play the equip Spell, Big bang Shot!'' The Knight of Hanoi said as his spell card appeared on his field. "This spell increases my Cracking Dragon's ATK Points by 400!'' The Knight of Hanoi explained his spell card's effect as a red aura surrounded Cracking Dragon.

Cracking Dragon ATK Points: 1500 + 400 = 1900.

"Cracking Dragon attack White Dragon – Zenith!'' The Knight of Hanoi called out as Cracking Dragon unleashed a fire breath attack that destroyed Zenith. (1900 – 800 = 1100)

White Dragon Mask life points: 4000 – 1100 = 2900.

White Dragon – Razor Whip ATK Points: 4700 – 500 = 4200

"I end my turn''. The Knight of Hanoi said, ending his turn.

White Dragon Mask Life Points: 2900/ Numbers of cards in hand: 0.

White Dragon Mask placed his right-hand claw's fingers on the top card of his Deck. "I draw!''. White Dragon Mask called out as he drawled his card, before he saw Blue Angel watching from a nearby rooftop. "Looks Like Blue Angel is interested in you''. Azure teased White Dragon Mask, causing his checks to turn red. "Shut up!''. White Dragon Mask said to Azure, calming down.

"I summon White Dragon – Sonic!'' White Dragon Mask said as the small dragon appeared, flying next to his fellow White Dragons.

(White Dragon - Sonic (LV1 ATK 0 Def 0)

Dragon/ Tuner/ Pendulum Effect/ S8

Pendulum Effect: If you take battle damage or effect damage while this card is in the pendulum zones, special summon this card and immediately synchro summon 1 monster using this card and monsters you control as materials.

Effect: A Fusion, Synchro, XYZ, Ritual or Link monster that uses this card as a material gains this effect until your next standby phase: this card is unaffected by card effects except its own and cannot be destroyed by battle)

"Why don't we make things interesting!'' Azure called out with a smirk, getting White Dragon Mask's attention as he looked to see Azure's eye flashing white again. "Come on out, White Data Storm!'' Azure called out as strays of wind started coming together, before forming a white data storm.

"What the heck is that''. White Dragon Mask said in shock at seeing the Data storm. "It's a Data Storm. It's one of the many things that make Speed Duels different than Master Duels. A Storm gives you a random monster if you use your skill''. Azure explained to his partner about a Data Storm, getting White Dragon Mask to look surprised at what he heard from Azure.

However, White Dragon Mask heard a roar from somewhere, slightly shock to hear it, before he looked for the source until he heard the roar coming from the White Data Storm. "Did you hear that?" White Dragon Mask asked to Azure, wanting to know if Azure heard it. "Hear what? I didn't hear anything". Azure replied, confuse at his partner behaviour.

"I heard a Dragon's roar and it's coming from that Data Storm you mentioned!" White Dragon Mask answered, looking at the white twister. "Oh, and what do you plan to do then, enter the White Data Storm?" Azure question, now interested about what his partner was thinking right now. "Hell yeah I am" White Dragon Mask answered without hesitation, surprising Azure about his answer.

"Now, I'm going in so get ready for a nasty ride!" White Dragon Mask shouted out, before he shifts his Duel Hover Board forward towards the White Data Storm, before he entered the white twister. What White Dragon Mask did surprises the Knight of Hanoi, along with Blue Angel that was watching the duel now from a rooftop. "What is he thinking?" Blue Angel asked, worried about White Dragon Mask entering the White Data Storm at this moment. She didn't know, but she was really worried for White Dragon Mask and went to watch him after she helped Playmaker.

"He must have a death wish. Nobody has ever survived Data Storm, even if it's an unknown and powerful one such as this for the matter." The Knight of Hanoi said as he watches his opponent enter his doom by going in the White Data Storm.

Meanwhile, in the White Data Storm, White Dragon Mask and Azure were currently in the white twister right now, with Ash still having control of his duel board and Azure still in his Duel Disk, with the Duel Blade still activated, even Ash's Dragons were in the Data Storm. "You're crazy, you know that?! You didn't let me tell you that a Data Storm is dangerous and could kill you!" Azure yelled at his partner for his behaviour and actions.

"I get that a lot" White Dragon Mask smirked slightly at his partner, enjoying his partner's shock look. Just then, a familiar noise that White Dragon Mask heard has roared again, only this time, Azure heard it as well.

"What was that?!" Azure asked, looking around for the noise that he just heard. Just then, a shadow of a dragon with blue eyes appeared right in front of the duo, looking as tall as Stardust. White Dragon Mask looked at the dragon in awe, while Azure was shocked about seeing this dragon appear out of nowhere. Even Ash's other Dragons were looking at the Shadowy Dragon in awe.

"Were... were you the one calling me?" White Dragon Mask questioned in wonder, with the Dragon nodding his head at the duellist's question. Azure was surprise again at the interaction with the Dragon and his partner was having, while Ash's Dragons just smiled at seeing Ash interact with the unknown Dragon.

"Do you want to fight alongside me?" White Dragon Mask asked the dragon, wanting to know if the Dragon wants to fight with him. The Dragon roars loudly, as if to say yes to him, making Ash's Dragons roar in agreement. White Dragon Mask then brings his Duel Disk towards him to talk to Azure. "Hey Azure, how do I get this Dragon?" White Dragon Mask asked his partner about how to obtain the new Dragon.

"I admit that I'm shocked at what's happening, but I'm interested at seeing this. You can use a special skill that I can give you called Draconic Storm Access. It's a skill that lets you add a random White Dragon or Stardust Link monster from the White Data Storm''. Azure explained to his partner about the special skill that he can use.

"Alright than!'' Ash said with a smirk on his face, before he held his right claw out. "Come to me." White Dragon Mask said to the dragon as the dragon roars, before it begins to glow bright blue and form formed into a card in front White Dragon Mask's right claw, glowing white. "Go Draconic Storm Access!'' White Dragon Mask shouted out, as the dragon is still being process until it completely turned into a card for White Dragon Mask.

With the card completed, White Dragon Mask grabbed the card with his right-hand claw's index and middle fingers. "Alright, got it! Now time to see what this guy's got!" White Dragon Mask shouted out to Azure, felling excited with his Dragons roaring in excitement as he rides his Duel Board forward straight out of the White Data Storm with his Dragons flying out as well. The Knight of Hanoi and Blue Angel were in shock to see White Dragon Mask.

"No way! You should have been disintegrated in the Data Storm!" The Knight of Hanoi exclaimed in shock about how his opponent survived the storm. "He's…so strong''. Blue Angel whispered in shock at seeing White Dragon Mask's strength.

"That's what you think!" White Dragon Mask replied to his opponent as he rides his duel board on the wind again with his Dragons flying alongside him. However, White Dragon Mask than heard the unknown dragon's roar yet again, telling him something. "Alright. You really want to come out and fight, huh?" White Dragon Mask muttered so that his new Dragon could hear him.

"Well in that case, I'll grant you your wish my new partner!" White Dragon Mask said to his new dragon as he went faster as his dragons flew in front of him, smiling in excitement of having a new Dragon brother. "The conditions are met! I can now summon my new monster out!" White Dragon Mask called out, causing everyone to look confused. "New monster? You're bluffing!" The Knight of Hanoi said to his insane opponent, thinking that White Dragon mask is lying.

"Don't believe me? Then watch this!" White Dragon Mask said as he brought his right claw out as blue lightning came out of his hand and went towards the sky, forming a portal with arrows and circuitry, known as an Arrowhead. White Dragon Mask and his monsters flew into the Arrowhead, entering a bright, white world. "Link Arrows good! The conditions are 2 or more White Dragon monsters!" White Dragon Mask called out, looking down on the Arrowhead with his monsters, while floating in the air.

"I set White Dragon - Wind Striker, White Dragon - Sonic, White Dragon- Pendulum Wyvern and White Dragon – Razor Whip on the Link Markers!" White Dragon Mask continued, looking at the Arrowhead as his four dragons entered the top, left, right, and bottom Link Markers as they glowed red.

"Link the circuit! I Link Summon! Appear, White Dragon – Blue Link Dragon!" White Dragon Mask shouted out as his new dragon materialized and appear out of the Arrowhead, flying besides White Dragon Mask, who was riding his Duel Hover board out of the Arrowhead. The new dragon that looks like a White and silver version of Firewall Dragon, only no cybernetic parts on it. It has white skin and White wings, with the Wing having blue with Black designs on it like Firewall Dragon, shedding Blue energy and having glowing blue eyes and no teeth. It had two dragon claws with five fingers, a White long tail and two talons. The dragon unleashed a powerful roar for everyone to hear as it flew behind Ash, spreading his wings out.

During you're standby phase, special summon one White Dragon or Stardust monster from the graveyard)

ATK: 2500/ LINK: 4)

Those that saw the dragon are shocked to see it in person. "This can't be... a Link Monster?!" The Knight of Hanoi said in disbelief from seeing his opponent Link Summon. Blue Angel was in awe about how the dragon appeared as well and how amazing it is.

White Dragon Mask turned his head to look at his new Dragon as he smiled at it, with Blue Link Dragon smiling back. "I gotta say you look awesome, big guy''. White Dragon Mask said to his new Dragon, who roared out in agreement. "Thank you, my lord!'' Blue Link Dragon said to White Dragon Mask, with only White Dragon Mask understanding him.

Azure was still in shock from witnessing what his partner did. 'Amazing, Ash is just amazing. I've never seen a human like him before. I'm... glad to have him as my partner'. Azure thought to himself, feeling happy that Ash is his chosen partner. The Knight of Hanoi still stared in shock at Blue Link Dragon, before he smirked. "Since your Razor Whip is gone, Cracking Dragon's ATK Points return to normal''. The Knight of Hanoi said as his Dragon's ATK Points return to normal.

Cracking Dragon ATK Points: 1900 + 1500 = 3400.

The Knight of Hanoi started laughing evilly. "You should have kept your Razor Whip, if you did then victory would have been yours''. The Knight of Hanoi laughed out. White Dragon Mask smirked at the Knight of Hanoi. "There are more ways to win a Duel than one way. Blue Link Dragon wanted to fight by my side, so I called forth my new partner''. White Dragon Mask said, smirking, before he looked at his Dragon. "Let's go, my new partner''. White Dragon Mask said to Blue Link Dragon, making him look at White Dragon Mask and roar in agreement.

"Let's show our power together, my Lord!'' Blue Link Dragon said to White Dragon Mask, making White Dragon Mask smile, before he looked ahead. "Blue Link Dragon doesn't have a level so Cracking Dragon's effect won't work. I now play Blue Link Dragon's effect. By sending one monster from my deck to the graveyard, you're Cracking Dragon loses ATK Points equal to the discarded monster's ATK Points!'' White Dragon Mask explained as a card slotted out of his deck.

"I'll discard my White Dragon - Silver Pendulum Lancer Dragon and his got 3000 ATK Points!'' White Dragon Mask explained as he discarded the card as Blue Link Dragon's wings started to gather energy in them. "Go Soul Energy drain!'' White Dragon Mask called out as Silver Pendulum Lancer dragon came out of Blue Link's wings in the form of blue flames, wrapping around Cracking Dragon.

Cracking Dragon ATK Points: 3000 - 3000 - 0000.

The Knight of Hanoi started to shake in fear. "I-I-I-I activate the Trap-''. The Knight of Hanoi said, but was cut off from White Dragon Mask. "Don't bother. Blue Link Dragon keeps you from using traps, spells or monster effects when he attacks''. White Dragon Mask said to the Knight of Hanoi, making him look in shock even more. "This can't be!'' The Knight of Hanoi said in disbelief about how powerful White Dragon Mask is.

"Go! Blue Draconic Blast!'' White Dragon Mask shouted out as Blue Link Dragon gathered Blue Energy in its mouth, before it unleashed a Blue Dragon Blast attack to the Knight of Hanoi. The Blast made contact, creating a Powerful Blue Explosion, forcing The Knight of Hanoi off his Duel Hover board, with his Hover board disappearing as well.

Knight of Hanoi's Life Points: 200 – 2500 = 0000.

White Dragon Mask readjusted his Hover board, but turned his head to look at the Knight of Hanoi, who landed on top of a building. "Someone who hurts innocent people has no place in the duelling world''. White Dragon Mask said to the Knight of Hanoi, saying that the Knight has no right to be a Duellist.

(With Lulu and Saya)

Everyone cheered when they saw Playmaker and White Dragon Mask defeat the Knights of Hanoi. "Playmaker and White Dragon Mask did it, they protected Link Vrains''. A boy wearing the same school clothes as Yusaku said. "Playmaker is so much better''. Another Boy said looking at Playmaker on screen. "White Dragon Mask is so much cooler and more handsome!''. A girl said with hearts in her eyes, looking at White Dragon Mask.

Kolter, Lulu and Saya were watching as well, and were smiling. "Good Job, Yusaku and Ash''. Kolter thought to himself, proud of Yusaku and Ash. "Satoshi, you were amazing and your new Dragon was amazing''. Lulu thought to herself, proud of her boyfriend. 'Papa was so cool and his New Dragon is amazing'. Saya thought to herself, also proud of her father.

Lulu turned to look at Kolter, wanting to ask something. "Mr. Kolter''. Lulu suddenly asked, getting Kolter's attention. "Could you please watch over Saya, while I go to Link Vrains''. Lulu said to Kolter, asking him to watch Saya.

Kolter looked at Lulu confused, before nodded, making Lulu smile. Lulu looked at Saya, who turned to look at Lulu. "Saya, stay next to Kolter and don't leave his side till I return''. Lulu said to her daughter, asking her to stay. Saya looked at her mother confused, but nodded. Lulu smiled at her daughter, before she kissed Saya's forehead, before she went into Kolter's van.

(With White Dragon Mask)

White Dragon Mask jumped off his Duel Hover board, while it stayed in the air, before he used his wings to fly to the building that the Knight of Hanoi landed on. White Dragon Mask landed on the rooftop, at the same time as the other Knight of Hanoi landed on the same rooftop on his back, next to his comrade.

Playmaker landed right next to White Dragon Mask, having finished his duel with the Knight of Hanoi he duelled. Playmaker and White Dragon Mask nodded to each other, before they ran to the fallen Knights of Hanoi. "Playmaker!'' The Knight of Hanoi that Duelled Playmaker said in pain. "White Dragon Mask!'' The Knight of Hanoi that Duelled White Dragon Mask said, also feeling pain.

"Now than, tell us who leads the Knights of Hanoi''. Playmaker said to the fallen Knights of Hanoi, wanting to know who leads the Knights of Hanoi. "And why do you want Azure and the Dark Ignis''. White Dragon Mask said to the fallen Knights of Hanoi, wanting to know what they wanted from Azure and Ignis. "You two won't get any secrets out of us''. The First Knight of Hanoi said as both him and his comrade smirked at Playmaker and White Dragon Mask. "But we do have something to share!'' The Other Knight of Hanoi said as both his and the other Knight's Red button begin to plink, signing a Self-Destruction.

White Dragon Mask and Playmaker took a step back. "Oh glitch! That's a detonator, what to do, what to do, what to do''. Ignis said in panic, still in Playmaker's Duel Disk. "Queit playing around, Dark Ignis''. Azure said from White Dragon Mask's Duel desk, getting a nod from Ignis.

Both Azure and Ignis's eyes glowed, getting White Dragon Mask and Playmaker's attention, before they shoot out of their partner's Duel Disks, still attached. Both AIs wrapped around the Knights of Hanoi, with Ignis looking like a Black fiend, while Azure looked like a White Dragon, holding the Knight of Hanoi with his claws.

Both of the Ignis ate the Knights of Hanoi's head with them screaming, before both Knights were turned into Data that was eaten by both AIs. The Dark Ignis and Azure returned to their partner's Duel Disks.

White Dragon Mask and Playmaker looked surprised, before they narrowed their eyes at Ignis and Azure. "That hit the spot''. The Dark Ignis said, satisfied from his lunch. "You two eat their avatars!''. Playmaker said to the Dark Ignis. "Geez, your welcome!'' The Dark Ignis said back in Playmaker's Duel Disk. "If we didn't do eat them, you guys would end up at the hospital from the damage the explosion would have caused''. Azure said to White Dragon Mask, continuing where his friend left off.

White Dragon Mask looked surprised, before he smiled at Azure. "I see. Thanks Azure''. White Dragon Mask said to his partner, thanking him. "No problem''. Azure said to his partner, feeling happy to be thanked by White Dragon Mask.

"Yo, heroes!" A voice called out, that belongs to Gore, who arrived on the same rooftop, looking for a fight. "Tonight was supposed to be my night, till you surfed right in and crash the party!" The Gore said to Playmaker, not liking how Playmaker made him loses his fans and how he had more attention.

"Chill out Gore, they kind of saved my life!" Another voice said, causing Playmaker and White Dragon Mask to turn to see Blue Angel arriving as well. "But still, who are you two really!" Blue Angel continued, pointing at White Dragon Mask and Playmaker. Playmaker turns to the Core and gave his answer. "And why would you expect us to answer'' Playmaker replied to the Gore, showing that he has no interest in answering him. "We got rid of the Knights of Hanoi causing trouble, that's what we came here to do, not get unwanted attention" White Dragon Mask replied to Blue Angel, wanting to see if Lulu and Saya are safe.

However, a strong wind starts picking up in the area, causing everyone to use their hands to shield their eyes. "What the?" The Gore asked, confuse about what was happening. "Where did this wind come from?" Blue Angel asked, shielding herself from the wind.

"Fly down and help those who risked their lives to protect others! I Xyz summon Lyrilusc - Assemble Nightingale!" A beautiful voice called out in the wind, before the wind died down to reveal Lyrilusc - Assemble Nightingale. Also, a person that is a girl appears besides Nightingale, wearing a purple mask, feathers on her body that only covers her breast and showers her skin (Feathers that are like the top that Kuroyukihime from Accel world's Avatar has), long fingerless gloves that reach to her elbows, Purple short skirt with Black bird feathers and purple high heels and finally Purple bird wings on her back and was flying.

Her appearance and her monster surprised everyone, except White Dragon Mask. "What the?! Where'd they come from?!" The Gore asked, even more confuse than ever about the new girl. "And who is she and how did she summoned that monster?" Blue Angel wondered as well about the new arrivals.

"My name is Purple Night". The newly revealed Purple Night replied to Gou and Blue Angel, along with Playmaker, Dark Ignis, and Azure. "Purple Night?" Everyone, except White Dragon Mask, asked confused. "Nightingale, attack!" Purple Night ordered, as Nightingale unleashed her whirlwind attack upon the Gore and Blue Angel, causing them to shield themselves.

Purple Night then turned to Playmaker and White Dragon Mask. "Go! Get out of here while you have a chance!" Purple Night said to the two of them. Playmaker looks at Purple Night, then at White Dragon Mask, wanting an explanation. "Don't worry. We can trust her. Now let's get out of here!" White Dragon Mask explained, which made Playmaker nod to him, as they run forward before they disappeared in a flash, appearing back to riding their Duel Hover Boards to escape.

White Dragon Mask stretches his claws out for Purple Night. "Come on!" White Dragon Mask cried to Purple Night. Purple Night saw this and nodded before she flew at White Dragon Mask, which White Dragon Mask cached her bridal style during the escape. Lyrilusc - Assemble Nightingale also followed Purple Night and White Dragon Mask as well, and flew besides them.

Gore punched his left pam with his right fist. "They got away!''. Gore said, feeling angry that he can't duel ether Playmaker or White Dragon Mask. Blue Angel kept looking where she last saw White Dragon Mask. "I will find you, and find out how to become as strong as you''. Blue Angel thought to herself, swearing to find White Dragon Mask again.

(In real world)

Inside Kolter's van, the room glowed, before Ash, Yusaku and Lulu appeared in the room. Yusaku fell to his knees, while Ash and Lulu stayed on their feet, only they have their new duel disk on their Left forearm. "Looks like your out of juice''. Dark Ignis said to his tired partner, which Yusaku looked at him. "You may have a point, I'll rest than annualize your code''. Yusaku said to Ignis, deciding to rest. Ignis looked like he was amused. "Oh joy''. Ignis said to his partner.

Yusaku stood up, before he looked at Lulu. "So you were Purple Night, huh''. Yusaku said to Lulu, now knowing who Purple Night is. Lulu nodded to Yusaku. "Sorry that I didn't tell you, but we were in a rush''. Lulu said apologizing that she didn't tell in Link VRAINS. "It's alright Lulu, you helped us escape and that's all that matters''. Ash said to his Girlfriend, smiling at her with Lulu returning the smile.

Yusaku pulled the door open, only to see Saya seating down on a chair with her seatbelt on and was smiling at Yusaku, Ash and Lulu. "Welcome back, you all did great today''. Sayay said, greeting her parents and Yusaku. Ash and Lulu smiled at Saya, while Yusaku went to the front seat. "Alright now, we should get some rest for tomorrow''. Ash said to his Girlfriend and Daughter. Lulu nodded to him, while Saya puffed her checks at hearing that.

---

(Next Day)

Ash, Lulu and Saya had a good sleep in Kusanagi's Van, while Kolter drove them somewhere safe. During the Night, Azure seemed to have been busy, working on programs. Now the morning has come for a new Day, with Kolter's Van on a parking spot on the road.

Lulu and Saya were playing outside by the hot dog stand, or having a practice duel. Inside the Van, Yusaku, Kolter, and Ash were with the Dark Ignis and Azure in the room that they used to capture the Dark Ignis. "This is wild stuff. We can use the card data you captured in your duel to create an actual card". Kolter said with a look of surprise, seeing a part of a card being data created from data on a Card scanner next to the screen. "I wonder what other monsters are inside the Data Storm!" Kolter continued telling Yusaku and Ash what he found out.

"Maybe you ought to plan a return trip''. Kolter finished as Yusaku was typing away to the screen. Ash was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, listening to the conversation. "No need!'' Azure called out, getting everyone's attention. "While everyone was catching some Z's last night, I went and created a special program that lets us speed duel digital copies of those Knights of Hanoi. Now we can train in Speed Duels, learn more about the Knights of Hanoi's decks and even get new Link monsters''. Azure explained the program he created, getting some impressed looks from everyone.

"That's mu buddy, always thinking ahead!'' The Dark Ignis called out, looking pleased with what his friend has done. "I'm impressed, now we train without worry and even get new Link monsters as well''. Ash said with a smirk on his face, checking out Blue Link Dragon's card that he was holding with his right hand.

"Hey, what was that monster you played earlier?" Yusaku asked Ash, slightly curious on his serious face about Ash's Razor Whip. Even Kolter, the Dark Ignis, and Azure want in on the explanation from Ash's Fusion summoning. "That was a fusion monster." Ash answered the hacker, with the others listening, while putting Blue Link Dragon's card in his Deck. "A Fusion monster?" Yusaku asked, unfamiliar with the term, along with everyone else.

"It's a monster card that requires a card called a fusing card to fuse monsters into summoning a Fusion monster." Ash explained to the others, telling them how to Fusion summoning. "Now that's neat. Are there anything else like a Fusion summon?" Kolter asked, now more curious about different kinds of summoning methods.

"There are. There are more known as Synchro, Xyz, and Pendulum Summon, including Link Summon added on." Ash answered back to the question at hand, still leaning against the wall. "Synchro?" Azure asked in wonder, never hearing about Synchro. "Xyz?" The dark Ignis asked, never hearing that before during his escape. "And Pendulum? What are those methods?" Yusaku asked last, about what they heard just now.

"Well, Synchro is a method that involves having a monster called a tuner monster being used with monsters that are not tuners to summon a powerful monster. In addition, this method is like Fusion, only slightly different. There levels have to combine to equal to the Synchro monster's level!" Ash explained, getting nods or looks of understanding from the others.

"Now, Xyz is quite different, and kind of similar to a Link Monster. They both have no level at all, but Xyz does have something that isn't a level, but similar known as Ranks. The requirements are monsters of the same level and they become materials known as Overlay units." Ash said, explaining about Xyz monsters.

"So, that's what Xyz summoning is, huh?" The Dark Ignis muttered at what his learned with a narrowed eye. "It's certainly interesting". Azure said as well, interested about XYZ. "Okay, but you said that there was one more, right". Kolter said, remembering about the last method. "Pendulum Summon, right?" Yusaku asked for everyone. "Oh yeah, right. Pendulum Summon is quite different; it involves summoning a lot of monsters on the field at the same time." Ash explaining the last method known, getting surprise looks from everyone. "Say what?! How does something like that exist?!" The Dark Ignis questioned in disbelief. "I certainly never heard of this before either." Azure said as well, never hearing about something like Pendulum summoning.

"It's true, but to make that happen, you need special cards known as Pendulum cards for the summoning to happen". Ash continued to explain Pendulum cards, getting more confuse looks. "Pendulum card?" Kolter asked again in confusion. "A Pendulum card is a monster and part spell that can go somewhere in a special zone called the Pendulum Zone for the summoning method to work, and requires two of them with different scales to summon the multiple monsters." Ash said to the group about the last known method.

"Do you have some of these summoning methods with you?" Yusaku asked, with a hint of curiosity behind his voice. "I sure do, and I can show you." Ash replied, before he brought out his deck and brought out some cards, laying them down on the keyboard to show a Fusion Monster Card, a White Synchro Monster Card, a Black Xyz Monster Card, and a Pendulum Monster Card for everyone to look. The Cards that Ash brought out were Purple Fusion Dragon, Green Synchro Dragon, Black XYZ Dragon and Silver Pendulum Dragon.

"The purple one is fusion, the white one is Synchro, the black one is Xyz, and the half spell is Pendulum." Ash said, pointing to each Dragon card that he mentioned. "Interesting." Yusaku muttered as he studied each one mentioned. "You're certainly knowledgeable about your cards, Ash". Kolter said to the skilled duellist, surprised at Ash's knowledge.

I admit that I wantta learn more about these different summoning's, we've still got work to do''. Azure said seriously to the group to end the lesson, as he and the Dark Ignis look towards the screen. Ash got his cards and put them back in his deck.

"Geez, talk about stardom. Everyone's talking about you two''. The Dark Ignis said as the screen was showing pictures of Playmaker and White Dragon Mask. "You can say that again, just look at all these pictures". Azure said in agreement, looking at the screen showing White Dragon Mask pictures as well.

"You may have erased your log-in info, smart smart smart for a human. But you can't dodge screen cats, bob!" Ignis said looking at the picture shorts of Playmaker. "So you're an expert than, are you?" Yusaku replied to the Dark Ignis, who was being a smarty-pants.

"Oh I know a thing or two. When you hide out in the net as long as I did, you learn a lot of things!" Ignis explained to the others in the room. "The only thing you failed to learn is how to not have such a big ego". Azure muttered, getting a chuckle from Ash. "Hey! No need to say that, Azure!" The Dark Ignis cried to his friend in annoyance from what Azure said.

"Like who leads the Knights of Hanoi?" Yusaku asked the Dark Ignis, wanting to know if he knows who leads the Knights of Hanoi. "Maybe…maybe not. I bet I'll think better if you let me out of here!" Ignis answered, rolling his eye, trying to get out again. Yusaku doubted that and went with plan B, which is to hack him, which Ignis tried to talk his way out of.

Yusaku asks Kolter to mute the Dark Ignis since he didn't want to hear him complain, which Kolter was more than happy to do. Kolter then asks Yusaku for a name to give to the Dark Ignis, which annoys Azure and the Dark Ignis, with Yusaku selecting on ai for AI. "Kolter, grab Azure so we can scan him as well for information". Yusaku said to the other hacker, thinking Azure might also have answers. "You got it boss" Kolter replied, reaching for Azure that is in Ash's Duel Disk and starts to scan him just like Ignis.

Kolter then began to type away; only to receive many prevention scans from Azure, with Ash watching the hackers trying to scan the AI duo. "Ahh, Yusaku. I'm having a little trouble here''. Kolter said as every time he tries, he gets denied every time by Azure.

"If you think I'm just gonna let the two of you scan me, think again! Also he may have a big ego, but that's still my friend you muted, so forget trying to hack me!" Azure yelled with a narrowed eye at the two hackers, not liking what they did to his friend. Ai looks grateful with teary eye, even though he can't talk at the moment about his friend defending him.

Ash then got off the wall, before he walked over to Azure. "Then can you trust me to look at you?" Ash asked the AI if it is okay with him. Azure's eye then soften when it was looking at Ash. "Alright, I trust you more than the hackers''. Azure answered, getting surprise look from everyone, even the dark Ignis, about Azure trusting Ash easily.

"Alright. Kolter, let me take over for Azure?" Ash asked the older hacker, to let him take over. Kolter looks at him, and then nods his head at him. The extra keyboard appears, and Ash begins to search though Azure memory banks, with Kolter and Yusaku searching through the Dark Ignis memory bank as well.

The search continues at night, with the group finding this more difficult to do sense they never seen this program before with different algorithms, with Azure being the same like the Dark Ignis. The only different was that Lulu and Saya were in the van in the front seat, sleeping with a blanket wrapped around them.

"Dud, I am ready to pack it in and call it a night. Whoever programmed our little friends was not messing around. If you ask me, it's impossible to find anything on these two''. Kolter complained, getting tired. "Except for the part that I'm hacking right now''. Yusaku stated, getting Kolter to widen his eyes in shock.

"You just found one, so did I''. Ash said to Yusaku, impressing Kolter at the two's skills. "Wow, you've got some skills Ash''. Kolter said in an impressed tone. "When you're the son of a guy in charge of a city's energy reactor, you pick some skills''. Ash replied to Kolter, keeping focused and tapping fast.

"It's some kind of video!" Yusaku said, as a screen shows what Ignis is connected to at the moment. "Hey guys, I'm also getting some kind of video as well!" Ash said to others, getting them to look at what both videos are showing right now.

"What is this?" Kolter asked in wonder about the video shown. "I think this may be portions of Ai and Azure's memories." Yusaku answered as the video shows a world getting attacked and showing Cracking Dragons. "Hey, that Hanoi's Cracking Dragon". Kolter said in surprise at seeing Cracking Dragon. "Looks like Ai and Azure have face the Hanoi before. Looks like the Dragon's attacking that world. What is this place''. Yusaku answered, watching the little show.

"The question is why would the Hanoi be interested in them, or better yet attack them''. Ash questioned as he watched the video, which showed Cracking Dragon unleashing a fire breath attack. "I think I know that place!" Azure muttered, but then his and Ignis's eye begin to spin wildly out of control as the video then shows a young man wearing White clothes and Red spiky hair.

"Who is that?!" Kolter wondered at who he was seeing, however Azure then scream in pain, along with the Dark Ignis spinning more wildly at a system overload as sparks begin to form on the screen and on the Duel disks as they watch in confusion. "What's going on?!" Ash asked in confusion, as they watch the sparks happen at the moment, with Ash looking at Azure in concern.

Meanwhile, in a digital green passage, the same man from the screen was watching. "There you are... Ignis and Azure!" The man called Varis said as his voice is heard before his face is shown. Back at Den City, the Van began to shake, overloading. "Now what is going on?!" Ash asked as more problems began to form. Yusaku gasped at what's going to happen if they don't stop this.

"Kolter, shut down the power, quick!" Yusaku cried to his friend. "On it!" Kolter replied to Yusaku, as he pulled the lever to shut the power down, with the Van's power being shut off. Yusaku then runs outside of the Van, with Ash following him as well, while holding his Duel Disk again. "Hey! Yusaku! Ash!" Kolter shouted at them, wondering where they were going.

Yusaku and Ash then witness something happening in Den City in front of them from the balcony. The city then becomes digitize for the moment, before a dragon with Shadows, covering it appears briefly, creating a strong wind as well. Ash and Yusaku then saw someone on the dragon, which is Varis, as the dragon flies above Yusaku and Ash as they watch the dragon passed by, with Varis looking back at them with his head turned, before both he and the Dragon disappeared.

The City then returned to normal, with Kolter running up to Ash and Yusaku. "Are you okay!'' Kolter said to Ash and Yusaku, getting their attention. "We saw him!''. Ash said to Kolter with wide eyes from seeing how powerful Revolver is from using his Crimson Dragon powers. "The guy we saw from Azure and Ai's memories''. Yusaku finished for Ash, making Kolter widen his eyes.

"So like, do you think we was tracking us done''. Kolter asked if they thought Varis was tracking them. "Looks like it''. Ash replied to Kolter, looking at the sky where Varis was.

They all went back inside the Van, with Ai and Azure now looking better. "You feeling better Azure''. Ash said to his partner, feeling worried for him. "I'm okay now. Thanks for asking''. Azure said to Ash, happy that his partner worries for him. "Ai, who was that in the video''. Yusaku said to Ai, not sounding worried for him. "I unmuted you, so I strongly recommend that you can't talk. I could just hack into your source code again''. Yusaku threated with a smirk.

"Alright, alright I'll talk already you messily flesh best''. Ai said without a second thought. "But a lot of my memories have been lost or damaged like Azure. I was lucky to escape that Dragon that almost had me for lunch''. Ignis said to Yusaku, telling him that he doesn't remember much.

"Who is the guy in the video''. Yusaku went straight to the point and asked who that was. "That was Varis!'' Ai answered, his eye wide from mention Varis. "And who exactly is Varis''. Yusaku asked who Varis is. "You know your buddies, the Knights of Hanoi, his their alpha dog''. Ai said to Yusaku, shocking him and Kusanagi, while Ash looked surprised and Azure just narrowed his eye.

"And the son of a bisket eater that's responsible for my memory lost''. Azure called out, remembering that Varis took his memories from him, getting everyone to look at him in shock. Yusaku then looked back at Ai. "What was that world that we just saw''. Yusaku said to Ai.

"Sorry can't remember''. Ai replied to Yusaku instantly, not remembering. "I don't know what you want from him, but take him down and the Hanoi go down with him''. Azure told Yusaku with his eye narrowed.

Yusaku sighed at what Azure said, before he looked at Ash, who was looking at Azure in concern. "Ash, I already asked this, but are you sure that you want to help us''. Yusaku said to Ash, wanting to know if Ash is sure that he wants to help him. Ash looked at Yusaku. "I already said that I would help and I'm not going back on my word''. Ash said to Yusaku, telling him that he won't back down.

"But what about your girlfriend and Daughter''. Kolter said, as he was worried for Ash and Lulu. However, before Ash could answer, they heard a voice. "I'll help out as well!''. Everyone turned to see that Lulu has stepped into the room. "Since Ash is helping you, it makes sense for me to help you. Besides, we don't know how to return to our world and Azure is our only way back''. Lulu continued to say, wanting to help as well.

Ash smiled at Lulu, while Kolter and Yusaku started to smile. "Thank you guys''. Kolter said to Ash and Lulu, thanking them. "No problem''. Lulu said to Kolter, bowing her head a little. "Well guess we're gonna be partners for a while now, Azure''. Ash said to his Duel Disk that Azure was still in. "Got it, and I promise to find you a way to return you both to your world''. Azure said, promising that he would find a way to take Ash, Saya and Lulu back home, making Ash smile at him.

---

(In The Spirit world)

In the different spirit world, Ash's White Dragons, Lulu's Lyrilusc monsters and Saya's monsters are at a White mountain. They found this Mountain and many more to live in. All of Ash's Dragons however, were celebrating for a New Dragon Family member. All the Dragons were flying, eating or training and Blue Link Dragon was watching with a smile, watching from the skies.

"Hey new Dragon''. A voice said from behind Blue Link Dragon, causing him to turn around to see Purple Fusion Dragon, Green Synchro Dragon, Black XYZ Dragon, Silver Pendulum Dragon and NovaForce Stardust Dragon. Blue Link Dragon bowed his head down in respect to the Ace monsters of Ash's Deck.

"Hey no need to bow your head, new Dragon!'' Black XYZ Dragon said to Blue Link Dragon, but Blue Link Dragon kept his head bowed. "Aww come on, we're all family so there is no need to keep your head down''. Green Synchro Dragon said to Blue Link Dragon, getting Blue Link Dragon to lift his head to look at him. "You are the strongest Dragons that our lord has, and I'm just a new Dragon. I have to respect you!''. Blue Link Dragon said to Green Synchro Dragon.

"You say that, but you're at the same level of strength as me and my brothers''. Silver Pendulum Dragon said getting Blue Link Dragon to look at him. "Your power is amazing to reach ours without being trained to reach our level of power, so your already one of the most powerful Dragons that our lord commands''. Purple Fusion Dragon said, getting Blue Link Dragon to look at him in shock about hearing his power at the same level as them. "I-I-I-I don't know what to say''. Blue Link Dragon said in shock.

"We know what to say. Welcome to our family, brother!''. NovaForce Stardust Dragon said holding his left hand out for Blue Link Dragon to take. Blue Link Dragon looked at the Leader of the White Dragons in shock, before he slowly moved his right hand and grabbed Stardust Dragon's hand. "Thank you, Leader!'' Blue Link Dragon said as he finally stood up, making the Ace Dragons of Ash's Deck smile.
