CHAPTER 1: The New World And Codelinker!
Mindo and Cubix were looking around Den City and they were seeing a lot of holographic screens floating around buildings while some people saw the 2 uncommoners looking. The 2 were questioning what's happening in their heads, but after a while, they ignored it and continued to look around the advanced city. "Woah... This place looks a bit complicated, don't ya think?" Mindo asked Cubix, while he was completly observing his surrondings, almost ignoring Mindo's question. She thought to herself 'Never mind...'
After a little looking around, the 2 were looking for a place with affordable food and a place to stay. They were about to give up until they saw an area that was wide and saw a random food truck in the middle. "Hey... That looks like a good place to try." Cubix says this with a little hope towards Mindo, while Mindo just nodds and walks towards the truck.
"Um... Hello...?" Cubix calls for the man on in front of the grill. Apperantly, the man didd't notice Cubix until he turned after talking to someone. "Huh? Oh! Sorry, what do want?" Cubix stayed silent and after 2.5 seconds, he just said that he wants 2 hotdogs, since he noticed the sign on top of the truck. Mindo was staying silent and noticed a boy with a school uniform on a chair just looking at the large screen on the buildings. The boy had blue and pink hair with 2 spikes going out and 2 other pink spikes going to his side. Mindo looked at the boy for a little bit and as Cubix got the food and said to Mindo: "Alright Mindo, let's go."
Mindo wasn't responding, and just walked towards the boy and asked something to him. "Excuse me? Do you know those 2 there?"
As she was asking that question, she points to the big screen with 2 people that posed like of them was a girl that had a blue hair style that matched her outfit and looked to be joyful, and the other one looked like a serious fighter. The boy said no, but the man sounded like he knew those 2.
"You mean those two? You don't know about them? They're Blue Angel and Go Onizuka. The most popular Charisma Duelists known here."
Cubix found out and was intrested to find out more, since he and Mindo don't have a single piece of knowledge on what 'Charisma Duelists' are and where they appear.
"What are Charisma Duelists?"
"Wow. Sound like you aren't from here. Alright then I'll explain it to you both. Can you wait Yusaku?"
Yusaku responed with "I don't mind."
Mindo moved closer to the man then she and Cubix listened.
"Alright then... Charisma Duelists are special duelists that are popular and they can be seen in the LINK VRAINS. LINK VRAINS is a virtual world where duelists can duel with VR monsters. Like what the title says, the monster isn't real, but some people need to be careful with them, because since it's a VR world that you are in right now, if you are hurt in the VR world, you will sustain mental damage in this world."
Mindo and Cubix were surprised and scared at the same time. Because thinking that maybe if dying in the VR world, means you're going to die in the real world.
After the man said the explaination, he proceeded to say something to Yusaku.
"Anyway, to answer your question Yusaku."
Yusaku turned and next he listened, but for Mindo it might be regarding the VR world.
"The Data Storm is a special wind that used to be in the LINK VRAINS, but for some reason dissapeared. You know, you could enjoy dueling again. I'm sorry for dragging you into this Yusaku."
Mindo and Cubix was surprised on hearing the last part. Cubix felt a little sad due to the lost possibilty for Yusaku to have fun.
Yusaku looked like he diddn't mind it at all and instead said "I made this decision of my own free will. I will duel to find my lost past and you little brother!"
Mindo and Cubix just stayed silent to the conversation until for unknown reason Yusaku went inside the food truck and closed the opening.
"That Yusaku guy... Does he have anmesia?" Mindo asked in a confused manner. "I... I don't know... But all that, I kinda feel bad for him." Cubix had a mixed feeling of saddness and confusion in his head, but he started to rethink his childhood memory of his parents being killed.
'Cubix... You and Mindo must save the other world from destruction... Please... find... it...'
'The Other World... Could it be this VR World?' Cubix was thinking if the LINK VRAINS was the other world that him and Mindo should save. Mindo was looking at the giant screen and there was an annoncer saying that there will be a duel with the two Charisma Duelists that they saw earlier. "Hey Cubix, we're duelists too right? Can we stay here to watch this fight?" Cubix was thinking until that point and said yes in a nervous manner.
After a little while, Mindo heard a voice saying: "Come here... Please..." repeatitly over and over again.
Mindo tried to find the source of where the voice was coming from, while Cubix was running as fast as he can because to him, Mindo was really fast. Mindo ended up in a warehuse that looked like it was abandoned and Cubix caught up to her, sweating and breathing heavily.
"Min...do... What... Were you thinking?!" Mindo responed by saying that there was a voice coming from here and it needed help. Cubix followed her to the inside of the warehouse where they found an old screen and 2 duel disks that looked like spheres with rectangular slots and a rounded T at the bottom. One of them was yellow and the other one was blue. Mindo and Cubix were about to have doubts that the voice must have dissapeared, but once they looked at the old screen that was barely working, started glowing and appearing was 2 mysterious AIs that somehow went inside the duel disks both of them were color yellow and blue and they both were inside the duel disks that were the same color as them.
Cubix and Mindo were confused at what just happened and started to ask each other what really happened until the yellow AI spoke up. "Can your eyes really see? Or you can't belive what just happened?" Mindo just stared at the duel disk and she looked depressed because she can't comprehend what just happened. Instead Cubix aked the two AIs who they are. They said that the yellow one was Thunder and the blue one was Mix.
"Thunder and Mix, huh? Tell us, why did you drag us here?"
Mix explained in a polite manner "There is something bad going happen in the VR world! There is a group of hackersinvading, trying to kill for a lure on the most important thing in the LINK VRAINS!"
Mindo and Cubix were shocked to find out that a group of people exist for that one reason. While they were shocked, Thunder was ranting about the "only way to find someone that can hear their voice".
Mindo stood up and said "So... All we have to do is go to LINK VRAINS and stop those people from attaking! Does that sound like a good plan?"
Cubix thought about it and about the simalarities towards the warning again and just decided to agree, until they realize that they don't know how to get to LINK VRAINS.
...
Mix and Thunder explained the process of how to get into LINK VRAINS. "You just have to put your deck in the empty slot and say 'Deck Set! Into The VRAINS!'. Simple."
Cubix was blushing a little bit thinking that what he is going to do was going to be embarrassing to see, but Mindo said "Hey! If you care about your reputatuion over people's safty, then you aren't a strong person!"
Cubix was putting that statement on his head and went on with it. But at the same time, thinking about Mindo's safty. Sure she was an energetic kid, but if she were killed in the VR world, he would feel so bad.
"Let's go Cubix! Thunder!"
"Yes, Master!"
"I'm with you! Ready Mix?"
"I am ready."
-Deck Set! Into The VRAINS!-
Mindo's appearance changed her yellow hair accents changed from yellow to green and she was wearing a jumpsuit like outfit that is grey and the stripes are yellow with a black belt. Cubix's hair turned form orange to a blue and green color, and his jacket grew to look like a coat and his pants and shoes changed to a red and yellow combination.
Once they changed into their VR form and was looking around for the group and he was, Cubix saw Mindo's VR form...
It's in a form of a guy.
Cubix pointed it out to Mindo and she diddn't mind it at all. But what was confusing is that she looks like she was the same age as him, but after a while, he ignored it.
They scened something coming, they realized it was one of the members of the evil hacking group that Thunder and Mix talked about. "There he is! That's a member of the hackers!"
Cubix thought of trying to saver others, but it turns out he already deleted and killed a lot of accounts. Mindo thought of an idea and said this to Cubix: "Save the people who are in threat of being deleted. Got it?"
Cubix nodded and went to save others, and Mindo was trying to find people trying to hide, but instead saw Blue Angel running from the massive dragon that the hacker had and she heard him saying: "Dissapear"
Mindo went in to save Blue Angel as fast as she could and said to her to hang on. She heard Mindo's voice, but she diddn't react to it. Mindo saved Blue Angel from the blast of the dragon while she was being confused.
At that moment the man on the dragon asked Mindo: "Who are you?" But before she could answer, another person appeared, it was a guy with pink reddish hair and 2 yellow spikes flowing up as well as 2 pink spikes on his side.
He approched the man saying something. "Hanoi, I have the thing that you are after! If you attack the LINK VRAINS more, I will erase this program!"
Then, the "thing" spoke in an angry way.
"Wait! You're holding the savior hostage!?"
Mindo was thinking: 'What do they want with that thing?' The guy explained that his name was Playmaker. And the man on the dragon was still wondering about Mindo's name.
'Okay... Since I can't explain my real name since I'm a guy here...'
"I'm Codelinker."
The man looked at Codelinker in a sinister way.
"What's wrong?"
The man tried to threaten Codelinker by dueling both him and Playmaker in order to gain the "thing" that appeared to be in Playmaker's duel disk.
