Chapter two of Pistolero de LINK VRAINS! Hope you'll like this second chapter here! ENJOY!
Awakened by the sounds of a rooster Diego yawned as he sat up stretching. "Buenos días, good world."
He smiled as he head to the bathroom to get washed up after he looked at the clock seeing he has 10 minutes before the official workday starts. After getting washed up, and putting on a Amigo Taco Rivera uniform he notices something on his LINK VRAINS message board that he has a message. This surprised him. No-one in LINK VRAINS have ever sent him a message.
Deciding to worry about his job after this he walked, and checked over the message, and read it aloud:
'Gunslinger.
It has come to my attention about your victory against the Bounty Hunter, Blood Shepherd, and the possession of the Water Ignis. I had witnessed your Duel, and see that you have a calculated Deck, and having good skills in Speed Duels. Long story short my name is, Varis, the leader of a little group you call the Knights of Hanoi. I bring no harm to you or your fellow account. I merely ask for assistance. Meet me tomorrow in a still Data Storm at 7:30 PM, and do not be late. I await your response by then. Oh, and bring the Water Ignis with you.
-Varis.'
Diego looked shocked at this. He had been contacted by the Knights of Hanoi for assistance. He thought they were disband when Playmaker defeated them but it seems they were still around, and apparently still wished to do whatever it is they wanted to do. And by Water Ignis he must meant the Ignis that had gotten together with him to help against Blood Shepherd. But how was Varis able to see the duel without getting caught. That is impressive though seeing duels without being seen.
Diego shook his head, and called "Papá, Mamá!"
After Berto, and Rosa arrived at his call he showed them the message. Berto widen his eyes as he asked, "Seriamente? THE Knights of Hanoi have contacted my son?"
"What can I do?" Diego asked worried. "I don't want to anger their leader."
Rosa told him, "Just have confidence, niho, and maybe the answer will come to you."
Berto nodded agreeing, "Yes. Just be careful. We never known what this guy can do but always remember: Mantente cerca, y cuidado."
Diego nodded hearing that. With that he had made his decision of what to do.
7:27 PM...
When quitting time came he walked to Café Nom to get his after dinner snack by Kolter. He arrived, and sees the man at work, and he smiled "Hey Diego. Usual as always?"
"Same old." Diego nodded with a smile.
While Kolter gets to work Diego asked him, "Hey Kolter can I ask you something I had discovered this morning?"
"What is it?" Kolter asked.
"Well I founded this morning I was contacted by the group known as the Knights of Hanoi." Diego answered.
That made Kolter freeze in shock. He looked at Diego in shock hearing that his customer was contacted by the Knights of Hanoi. The ones that nearly destroyed LINK VRAINS, and that Playmaker stopped them before they can finish.
"Kind of crazy right?" Diego chuckled.
Kolter frowned before saying, "Y-Yeah."
He finished up as Diego payed as Kolter warned, "Be careful. The Knights of Hanoi are not a friendly bunch."
"I know." Diego nodded waving bye before eating the Hot Dog that he ordered. Entering Amigo Taco Rivera he walked up the stairs, and entered his room. Berto, and Rosa were in the room looking over something on his LINK VRAINS Status.
"Papá, Mamá?" Diego asked surprised as they looked over.
Rosa explained, "Don't worry, niho, we're only here to get you out if Varis decides to do some nasty things to you."
"Be careful in the Data Storm." Berto warned. "They are pretty bad, and peligroso."
Diego nodded as he entered his Chair, and called "Into the VRAINS!"
Now entering LINK VRAINS...
Gunslinger exited the portal as he looked around, "Now where's that still Data Storm?"
"Still Data Storm?" Gunslinger yelped before seeing his Duel Disk where the digital being exited. "Sorry about that. I had sensed of a Data Storm being still."
"You do señorita?" Gunslinger asked surprised. "Where?"
"Why do you want to go there?" The being asked him confused.
"Bit of answering to a assistance message." Gunslinger answered.
The being raised an eyebrow but nodded as she shows the coordinates as Gunslinger nodded riding the digital horse. He continued riding until he sees a Blue Data Tornado seemly liked it isn't moving or causing destruction.
"This is it?" Gunslinger asked surprised.
Suddenly a beam shot as Gunslinger, and the digital being were caught surprised as they were pulled in as they landed on some rocks looking around seeing things are peaceful.
"Huh? Where are we?" Gunslinger asked surprised.
"Your inside the Data Storm."
Gunslinger, and the being turned to see several people were there on the other side.
One has dark blue, and light blue hair while having a gray, and green mask, and wearing a white, and red robe. Another has green hair with the same masked as the other man, and the same robe. The third is a woman that has red, and orange hair with the same mask, and robe. The forth is a man that has gray hair, and having on a white suit with cold eyes. The last one looks the most superior to them all.
The last one has fair skin and blue eyes, having grey hair, and pink roots highlights on the side. The shaped of his mask now appears more rhombus-like, the glass recedes up to his nose, and the forehead has a plate with the four dots spread out. He is also wearing a trench coat that has a black color scheme on the body, a black stripe among the outer borders, and the lower exterior sports a lime stripe and patter. The ornament around his neck is lime, has a square-like structure, and having small, rectangular red lights. His sleeves are black with a lime exterior, and a red diamond pattern on the forearms. His suit is also white, he wears a black belt with a gold buckle, which has a bullet carved on each sides, a red bullet-shaped light at the center, and a wide red diamond pattern on each outer thigh exterior of the pants. His black boots have a red pattern, and sports a lime border above the red patterns and a lime heel.
The being gasped seeing them, "Gunslinger get out of here! They are the Knights of Hanoi! Bad people who tries to terminate my kind!"
Gunslinger looked surprised hearing that their trying to eliminate the Ignis which is who the being is. But for what purpose? Deciding to know he asked, "Which one of you sent me that message?"
The one that looks the most superior answered, "That would be me. I am Varis the leader of the Knights of Hanoi. I am pleased to see you have come here after reading my message."
Gunslinger nodded hearing that as the man with green hair said, "You were quite impressive against that selfish Bounty Hunter. SOL Technologies are always looking for things relating to Ignis to make their things better."
"And it's a bit ironic for it is someone quite like yourself." The woman commented. "Having a Deck like Master Varis."
Blinking Gunslinger asked Varis, "You use rokkets are well sir?"
Varis nodded, "Yes. My choice in specialty against the Ignis. Along with that remarkable Fusion Summon you done."
Gunslinger grunted a little bit hearing that as the being said, "Gunslinger we need to go!"
"Wait for a sec Aqua." Gunslinger told her.
Blinking the being asked, "Aqua?"
"Well it would be a bit bland, and lacking to just call you 'Water Ignis' or something like that." Gunslinger answered. "I think they won't harm us."
"Unless of course you want it that way." The gray haired man smirked making him, and her grunt.
"Specter." Varis told him.
The man known as Specter bowed, "Sorry Master Varis."
Varis turned back, and said "Long story short there is a favor."
"What favor, amigo?" Gunslinger asked him.
Looking serious Varis answered, "Duel me Gunslinger."
Gunslinger looked surprised hearing that as Aqua looked shocked.
The man with blue hair said, "Don't take this as a sign that states your an enemy. Master Varis wants to test your ability for what lies ahead."
Aqua asked, "How do we know this isn't a trick for you trying to terminate me?"
"Your wise for doubting us." The green haired man remarked. "However it matters not if you do, or not."
Gunslinger ponders what to do. He wants to help Varis but is unsure. Plus Varis was strong enough to give Playmaker a hard time as he was one of his toughest opponents. So in a way this is like getting practice against Playmaker. Grinning he said, "Ya estás, amigo!"
At Varis' raised eyebrow probably confused by the Spanish speaking Gunslinger explained, "That means 'your on'."
Getting a translated answer the Knights smirked while Varis grinned. Aqua asked shocked, "Gunslinger?"
"It will be okay Aqua." Gunslinger grinned before the Master Duel Layout appeared in front of them. "I'll handle him."

'Man, I'm falling behind...' Gunslinger thought as he slowly stand up.
"I'm disappointed if this is all you can do." Varis told him narrowing his eyes, "You really believe you can Duel Playmaker at this stage?"
"How do you...?" Gunslinger asked.
"I looked over your profile, and I have to say it's quite promising, but if you want to duel Playmaker in one great battle you need to do better." Varis told him. "Now will you give up or continue?"

"Whoa, Magic Cylinder." Gunslinger said seeing that. "Good thing, I avoided that."
"Interesting..." Varis smirked.

"So that's one of the Cyberses he used against me, and my kind!" Aqua called.
Gunslinger checked out the effect of Bomber Dragon, and remarked, "And a peligroso one at that. Okay. Topologic Bomber Dragon attack Borreload Dragon! Ultimate Malicious Code!"
Bomber Dragon charged a blast.
"Both of them will be destroyed!" the blue haired man called.

Gunslinger: 0000
Varis: 0000
DRAW!
Gunslinger knelled a bit stunned, "So... This is the power of the Knights of Hanoi."
Seeing feet stopped in front of him he looked up seeing Varis was in front of him before offering Gunslinger a hand who accepted being helped standing up. "You are quite a duelist. I am glad to have dueled you for myself."
Gunslinger rubbed his head saying, "Getting stronger every day, amigo."
"Well I like to talk to you in person. Not here in LINK VRAINS." Varis told him. "You know where we can talk?"
Gunslinger smiled, "Yes. Just go to Amigo Taco Rivera. That's where I am."
Varis nodded as he told his comrades, "Knights we're outta here."
The four nodded as they logged out.
"Are you sure that was a good idea?" Aqua asked him nervously.
"I'm sure." Gunslinger nodded before saying, "Well I'll see you sometime."
"Actually I'll be in your Duel Disk." Aqua told him which made him nod before logging out.
Outside of LINK VRAINS...
Diego exited where Berto, and Rosa were at.
"The duel was a tie. You okay?" Rosa asked him.
Diego nodded to her, "Yes Mamá. But Varis wants to talk with me in person here."
Berto looked shocked as he asked, "Then should we call the Police?'
"No Berto. They bring no harm to our son. So we should bring no harm to them. We better prepare the shop for them." Rosa told him which made nod reluctantly.
A few minutes later...
Hearing the door at the front of the restaurant open they turned to see it was a man.
He has light-blue eyes and has white hair that spikes backwards at the sides, with purple-blue highlights while wearing a pink v-neck shirt underneath a light grey suit jacket, with black trousers that ends above his ankles and white shoes.
"Are you... Varis?" Diego asked him.
The man nodded, "But here in the real world, I am Ryoken Kogami. And you are?"
"My name here is Diego Rivera!" Diego answered.
"Ah now I know why the name 'Rivera' is familiar." Ryoken said sitting down. "Long before any of this happened my father would take me, and himself out to eat here."
"Your dad?" Berto asked.
"Kiyoshi Kogami. A researcher at SOL Technologies." Ryoken answered. "He has passed on unfortunately."
"Oh... Sorry amigo." Diego told him.
Ryoken said, "But we're not here to talk about that. I merely ask for some assistance."
"What kind of assistance?" Diego asked him.
"I had to test you so that you have what it takes. And now I know your skills you can." Ryoken told him. "You must join the Knights of Hanoi."
That shocked the three. They were clearly not expecting that.
"Join you?" Diego asked him.
Ryoken answered, "Creations of my father known as the Ignis are preparing to declare war on humanity. Do you know of something known as the Lost Incident?"
"Yes. It was over the news before we had Diego." Rosa answered.
"I see. My father had created 6 Ignis from this incident. SOL Technologies covered it up when I reported it." Ryoken told them. "I tried to destroy LINK VRAINS before to stop them, but you likely know how that ended up."
"Yeah. Playmaker stopped you." Diego nodded.
"And now with the Hanoi Tower out of commission we need to hurry to defeat the Ignis. Thankfully 3 are on our side." Ryoken told them. "The Dark Ignis, the Fire Ignis, and the Water Ignis are aiding to create peace."
"So... There made from different attributes of Duel Monsters?" Rosa asked him.
"Indeed." Ryoken nodded.
"But why want my help?" Diego asked him.
"You took down one of SOL Technologies' Bounty Hunters who are hunting for Playmaker, and the Ignis." Ryoken answered. "They plan to terminate them. And we need to beat them to it. We have detected where two of them are but we need to be prepared."
"So your having Diego in this so you can terminate those two Ignis?" Berto asked him.
"Yes." Ryoken nodded. "It's what father wanted when he learned they can lie. With them being AI of free will, and are created to be humanity's successor we need to stop them before it's too late."
"But have you thought of going over peaceful negotiations?" Diego asked him. "Don't get me wrong, amigo, I want to help you, but I can't eliminate someone real person or not."
"They won't listen no matter what we do." Ryoken told him.
"Well I'll join, but only if we discuss things of peace with them." Diego told him. "And most likely that this is serious business."
Ryoken nodded before handing him a card, "That's my card in VRAINS be sure to install it on your account, and that way I can inform you of when we'll strike."
He walked off as Diego looked at the card before seeing card, and sees it was Topologic Bomber Dragon along with a small note: 'You'll make good use of this card.'
Duel:
Gunslinger vs Varis
The Duel is conducted as a Master Duel.
Turn 1: Varis
Varis activates the Field Spell "Boot Sector Launch". Due to its effect, "rokket" monsters will gain 300 ATK/DEF while it is active. Varis then activates the first effect of "Boot Sector", Special Summoning "Autorokket Dragon" (1600 → 1900/1000 → 1300) and "Shelrokket Dragon" (1100 → 1400/2000 → 2300) from his hand in Defense Position. Varis uses "Shelrokket" and "Autorokket" to Link Summon "Dillingerous Dragon" (1600/LINK-2/↑↓) to the Extra Monster Zone. Varis Sets two cards.
Turn 2: Gunslinger
Gunslinger draws, and subsequently Normal Summons "Sniffer Dragon" (800/400). As "Sniffer Dragon" was Normal or Special Summoned, he activates its effect to add another copy of "Sniffer Dragon" from his Deck to his hand. Gunslinger activates the effect of "Defrag Dragon" in his hand, sending another monster from his hand to the GY to Special Summon it. He sends "Metalrokket Dragon" to the GY to Special Summon "Defrag Dragon" in Attack Position (1000/600).
He then activates the Equip Spell "Borrel Regenerator", Special Summoning "Metalrokket" (1700 → 2000/1400 → 1700) in Attack Position and equipping to it. Gunslinger uses his three monsters to Link Summon "Vorticular Drumgon" (1000/LINK-3/←↓→), and activates its effect as it was Special Summoned to draw a card. He sets two cards.
During his End Phase, Varis activates the effect of "Dillingerous Dragon" as Gunslinger's monsters did not declare an attack this turn, and chose one Attack Position monster Gunslinger controls, destroy it, and inflict damage to Gunslinger equal to it's ATK. He targets "Vorticular Drumgon". (Gunslinger: 4000 → 3000 LP).
Turn 3: Varis
Varis draws. He then Normal Summons his own copy of "Sniffer Dragon" (800/400). As "Sniffer Dragon" was Normal or Special Summoned, he activates its effect to add another copy of "Sniffer Dragon" from his Deck to his hand. Varis uses the Link-2 "Dillingerous Dragon" and "Sniffer Dragon" to Link Summon "Triple Burst Dragon" (2400/LINK-3/↑←↓) to the Extra Monster Zone.
"Triple Burst Dragon" attacks directly, but Gunslinger activates his face-down "Dimensional Prison" to remove "Triple Burst Dragon" from play. As Gunslinger activated an effect during the Damage Step when "Triple Burst Dragon" is battling, Varis activates its effect to negate that effect. The attack continues. (Gunslinger: 3000 → 600 LP).
Turn 4: Gunslinger
Gunslinger draws. He then activates the second effect of "Boot Sector Launch", Special Summoning "Rokket" monsters from his GY in Defense Position, up to the difference in monsters. There is a difference of one monster so, he Special Summons "Metalrokket" (1700 → 2000/1400 → 1700). He then Normal Summons "Shelrokket Dragon" (1100 → 1400/2000 → 2300).
Gunslinger uses "Shelrokket" and "Metalrokket" to Link Summon "Booster Dragon" (1900 ATK/LINK-2/↙↘) to the Extra Monster Zone. Gunslinger activates the Spell Card, "World Legacy Succession" to Special Summon "Metalrokket" (1700 → 2000/1400 → 1700) from his Graveyard to a Main Monster Zone, "Booster Dragon" is pointing at. He activates the effect of "Booster Dragon", targeting "Metalrokket" in an attempt to increase its ATK/DEF by 500, with him then chaining the Quick Effect of "Metalrokket" as it was targeted by a Link Monster's effect.
"Metalrokket" destroys itself along with all cards Varis controls in the same column, namely "Triple Burst Dragon", and one of Varis face-downs. "Triple Burst Dragon", and the face-down "Magic Cylinder" were destroyed. "Booster Dragon" attacks directly. (Varis: 4000 → 2100 LP). During the End Phase, Gunslinger activates the effect of "Metalrokket" in his GY as it was destroyed this turn, allowing him to Special Summon a new, differently-named "rokket" from his Deck. He Special Summons "Magnarokket Dragon" (1800 → 2100/1200 → 1500) in Defense Position.
Turn 5: Varis
Varis draws. He then activates the second effect of "Boot Sector Launch", Special Summoning "Autorokket Dragon" (1600 → 1900/1000 → 1300) and "Shelrokket Dragon" (1100 → 1400/2000 → 2300) from his GY in Defense Position. As a "Rokket" monster was Special Summoned while "Dillingerous Dragon" is in his GY, he activates its effect, Special Summoning it (1600/↑↓), but it is banished when it leaves the field. Varis uses "Shelrokket", "Autorokket" and the Link-2 "Dillingerous Dragon" to Link Summon "Borreload Dragon" (3000/LINK-4/←↙↘→) to the Extra Monster Zone.
Gunslinger activates his face-down "Threatening Roar" to prevent Varis from attacking this turn.
Turn 6: Gunslinger
Gunslinger draws "Old West", and subsequently activates it to Special Summon 1 monster from his GY, and then Link Summon a Link Monster from Varis' Extra Deck. He Special Summons "Sniffer Dragon" (800/400). Gunslinger uses the Link-2 "Booster Dragon", "Magnarokket" and "Sniffer Dragon" to Link Summon "Topologic Bomber Dragon" (3000/LINK-4/↑↙↓↘) from Varis' Extra Deck to the Extra Monster Zone.
"Bomber Dragon" attacks "Borreload Dragon". While both monsters will be destroyed the effect of "Bomber Dragon" will activate as it's attacking an opponent's monster to inflict damage to Varis equal to the ATK of "Borreload". Both monsters destroyed each other in a Double KO. As Varis is about to take effect damage he activates his face-down, "Bomber Barrage" to inflict the same amount of damage to Gunslinger. Since there is a face-up "Topologic" monsters on the field this card cannot be negated. (Gunslinger: 600 → 0 LP). (Varis: 2100 → 0 LP).
The duel ends in a DRAW.
