Invaders
Chapter 1: Take Link Joker down!
In a world that is being ravaged by Link Joker's fighting prowess and Lock, the fighters of Cray are being weakened to a point of no return. Nothing can stop it. Nothing can stop Void. The clans struggle so hard. The fighters struggle just as hard.
At a store in Tokyo:
"I ride Great Daiyusha over Daikaiser! At the cost of a Counterblast, Great Daiyusha gets a skill and power +10000. And an extra critical." Takuya says, smiling, certain of his victory.
"Nothing can beat Link Joker." his opponent answers, confidently.
"Wouldn't be so sure. Call, Daidragon and Daifighter to the front-row." he says, as he stays with two more cards in his hand.
Takuya's field:
Daidragon | G. Daiyusha | Daifighter
Daitiger | Daimagnum | Dailander
His opponent's field:
Niobium | I. Zero Dragon | Radon
Neon | Dust Tail | Lanthanum
"Daimagnum boosts! Go, Great Daiyusha! With his Limit Break, he gets power +2000 and an extra critical. That's a total of 28000 and critical 3!" Takuya exclaims.
"I guard with Barrier Star-vader, Promethium. With his skill, I discard one... Perfect Guard."
"I'll break through it, I'm sure! Even if I don't, you have 5 damage and only two cards tops with shield in your hand. Twin Drive, first check! Daibattles, a critical trigger. All effects go to Daidragon. Second check, Daishield. No trigger. Tsc."
"In the end, you're not strong enough." his opponent mocks him.
"Daidragon attacks! With his skill, he gets power +3000!" (Total: 24k)
"I guard with Nebula Captor (5k shield) and Meteor Liger (10k shield)!"
"Daifighter, attack!"
"Radon and Niobium, intercept!"
"Tsc. But, still, you've got just one card in your hand and no front-row rearguards. Whereas I have four cards. You haven't got a chance. Turn end." Takuya says.
"Stand and draw." he smiles as he draws a card.
"What?" Takuya's confidence turns into fear.
"Bring everything to chaos, my Vanguard! Break Ride... Star-vader, Nebula Lord Dragon! With the Break Ride skill, I lock Daimagnum and Daidragon, and Nebula Lord gets power +10000!" he exclaims.
"Two locks?" Takuya wonders how he is going to deal with that, since he has also got 5 damage.
"That's not all. Lanthanum gets power +4000 and I move him to the front-row. I call Nebula Lord Dragon in front of Neon. Dust Tail's skill, I lock your Daifighter. And Lanthanum gets another +2000 in his power. It's the end of the line." he laughs quite insanely.
"I'll protect myself! I swear!"
"Nebula Lord Dragon's Limit Break! All the front-row units get power +9000 due to the three locked units! Lanthanum attacks with 22000 power!"
"What? I can't guard against it...! I'll have to bet on a Heal Trigger..." Takuya thinks.
"Guard, Takuya-san?"
"No guard." he answers, gulping.
As he turns the card on the top of his deck face-up for his Damage Check, it is revealed that the card is Daikaiser. No trigger. Takuya loses. Just like others, when a Cardfighter loses to a Link Joker user, he loses control of himself, but he also loses his deck, being replaced by a Link Joker. Takuya leaves the shop instantly.
But the one who took Takuya down was not any Link Joker user, he was one of the 5 top users of Link Joker, under the direct command of Void. They were not forced into that, they gave their souls up so that they could grow stronger. That is Link Joker. That is Void.
"Too bad there was only him here. I could have turned some other people too."
A woman enters the store at this moment. She acted a little weirdly, but she should not be underestimated.
"Link Joker? I'm glad I found someone as powerful as you, Kiriko-kun."
The man automatically shivers.
"How the hell do you know who I am?" he asks, angrily.
"I've been looking for you for quite a long time. Your lost-in-time brothers have been found, Link Joker."
"Wh-what?" the man stutters, apparently knowing what she's talking about.
"You're not afraid, are you, boy?" she uses a very ironic tone.
"Let's see what you're made of, then." he says, as he puts his deck on the table.
She approaches him and puts her deck on the table as well. They both make their first moves into drawing and putting the First Vanguard on the field.
"Stand up, Vanguard" they both say.
"Star-vader, Dust Tail Unicorn!"
"Spark of Essence, Mark."
"Promoter! As I thought. But that won't hold me back. Draw. I ride Lanthanum! Dust Tail moves to the middle reaguard circle. Turn end."
"Draw. Ride, Essence of Life, Mira (power 7000)! Mark moves back. Mark boosts and Mira attacks!" (Total: 12000)
"No guard."
"Drive check. Shield of Essence, Jirobo, no trigger."
"Damage check. Star-vader, Infinite Zero Dragon."
"This is the end of my turn."
"Draw. Ride, Mobius Breath Dragon! I call Neon and Radon." Kiriko says.
Kiriko's field:
Neon | M. Breath | Radon
X | Dust Tail | X
"Go, Neon!"
"I guard with Light of Essence, Aiko (5000 shield)!" (5 cards in her hand)
"Unicorn boosts, Mobius Breath attacks!"
"No guard."
"Drive check. Star-vader, Nebula Captor, Draw Trigger. Power goes to Radon, and draw." (5 cards in Kiriko's hand)
"Damage trigger: Essence of the Beginning, Julio, a Critical Trigger. All effects to Mira!"
"Mobius Breath Dragon's skill activates. Embrace your eternal prison... Spark of Essence, Mark, LOCK!" he exclaims as her card is locked.
"I didn't know about that card. Interesting that Link Joker has got some interesting stuff." she says.
"I wonder how long your tough talk will last... Radon! With his skill, he gets power +3000!" (Total: 17000)
"Guard, Essence of Health, Mara (Heal Trigger) (Shield: 10000)!" (4 cards in her hand)
"Turn end."
"Apparently, you've grown cocky." she says, in a tone of regret.
"What?" he reacts, quite angrily.
"When Promoter, Link Joker and our other brother were together, we were much stronger. We were not evil. But, Link Joker has given in to Void's will and made us all separate, being scattered all over the universe. Kiriko-kun, I'll beat you and all others, and I'll bring all three brothers together, I swear!"
"Shut up. Link Joker is invincible!" he exclaims.
"I'll show you Promoter's power. Stand and draw. Ride, Fighter of Essence, Lelouch! With his skill, I Soulblast Mira, so that your Dust Tail Unicorn is targeted. Downgrade! Dust Tail is now grade -1. Grade -1 units cannot boost, therefore your Unicorn is useless for boosting during your next turn."
"Downgrade? That is not the power Promoter had!"
"No, it is not. In order to take Link Joker down, and bring them back, new power was needed. Call... Archer of Essence, Lina (power 9000), Wolf of Essence, Kouran (power 9000), and Essence of Evolution, Romeo (power 8000)." (1 card in her hand)
Her field:
Lina | Lelouch | Kouran
Romeo | Mark(Locked) | X
"Kouran attacks Radon!"
"I guard with Nebula Captor." (4 cards in his hand)
"Lelouch attacks!" (Total: 9000)
"No guard."
"Drive check: Magician of Essence, Merlin. No trigger."
"Damage check", he smiles, "Furious Star-vader, Nebula Core Dragon". (2 damage)
"Nebula Core? What's that card?" she reacts, quite scared.
"You'll soon see, Ayaka-san." he starts to laugh loudly.
She does not react at the calling of that name as if it were not hers. Her turn is yet to be over, but she starts to wonder whatever that card is because she has never seen something of the sort. Final form of Nebula Lord? That's unconceivable to her given the power Nebula Lord already has. What is that card?
Preview – Chapter 2: Arrival of despair
Kiriko rides up to the previous form of Nebula Core Dragon, Nebula Lord Dragon. It is when the woman realizes she has to do everything in her power to beat him before he can ride that unit. Will the power of a brother be enough to bring the slightest hope of taking Link Joker down?!
My first fanfic, what do you guys think? Thank you for your opinion, everyone!
