The next chapter is here! What can happen here now? ENJOY!

Gunslinger, and Aqua have arrived at a temple to where they see multiple downed bodies that are the same being each having on a gray cloak, and looking human.

"Gunslinger you came." They turned to see Specter was there bowing, "I was wondering when you'll come."

"Sorry." Gunslinger apologized, "Me, and Aqua had to take care of something."

"It's alright." Specter dismissed to him, "Me, and the Liutienents can take care of these AI, you help Master Varis inside."

Nodding Gunslinger ran up the temple as Aqua warned, 'Careful... I sensed dangerous presences in there.'

Gunslinger nodded as he ran in where a duel is happening.

Varis has a empty field apart from Boot Sector Launch being stared down by a whale like ship. Looking at the enemy side he sees a AI the same as the bodies outside, and on it's arm was a green, red-eyed Ignis. Beside him is a silhouette person with a aura, and on it's arm was a yellow, golden eyed Ignis.

"Varis!" Gunslinger cried catching their attention.

"Huh? You got a little Sherief in your group now?" the green Ignis chuckled coldly.

"Gunslinger. Did the weaklings outside give you too much trouble?" Varis asked his new ally without turning around.

"No Varis. Specter, and the others are keeping them back." Gunslinger answered.

Varis nodded at this as Aqua called, "You two!"

Both the yellow, and green Ignis' eyes widen seeing her.

"You? How did you get free?" the yellow Ignis questioned.

"It wasn't easy, but you program can't keep me contained!" Aqua answered glaring at him.

The green Ignis shrugged, "Well it doesn't matter... Your still gonna go down either way!"

"Aqua!"

Hearing that they turned, and widen their eyes. Two people were there trapped in blue orbs. One was a dark purple, yellow-eyed Ignis. And the other is-

"Playmaker?" Gunslinger asked shocked.

"What are you doing here? This isn't a place for a kid to-"

"I recruited him Playmaker." Varis told his rival which made Playmaker at him in shock, "He has tremendous skill against Blood Sheppard, and managed to make a draw against me. He's vital to this."

"You can raise a whole army, and it still wouldn't help!" the green Ignis cried laughing with a nasty smirk.

"And you two are?" Gunslinger asked him.

"Call me Windy little cowboy." the green Ignis grinned, "And this beside me is Lightning the Ignis' Leader."

Lightning didn't do anything but stared at Gunslinger.

"And him?" Gunslinger asked turning to the purple Ignis.

"Oh, I'm Ai. Nice to meet ya." the Purple Ignis answered with a friendly wave.

Confused Gunslinger asked, "Ai? Is it because your an AI that your named that?"

"N-No that's a long story!" Ai quickly defended.

"No te preocupes por eso amigo. I get it." Gunslinger smiled to them.

"What kind of gibberish are you saying?" Windy asked not understanding what he said.

Lightning cleared it out, "It's a language the humans called 'Spanish' that it's used around Mexico. What he said to Ai was 'Don't worry about it, Friend'."

"You seem knowledgeable." Gunslinger remarked to Lightning.

Lightning chuckled at that, "Indeed. A leader's gotta know things."

"That doesn't excuse you two will face defeat." Varis reminded.

"Right you are."

They turned to where the blue haired man Faust, the green haired man Genome, and the red-haired woman Baira was there.

"Hey! Your leader only has 100 Life Points left!" Ai cried pointing to Varis at them.

"So what?" Faust asked him which surprised Ai, "It's not 0. So it's plenty."

"There's no way he'll lose!" Baira added.

Genome finished, "Varis will win!"

"What a bond!" Ai cried getting emotional for the support.

"It's time to perform your last rites." Windy smirked at them before pointing at Varis, "Go apologize to your dad!"

"Apologize? How ridiculous." Varis said with closed eyes.

"Varis..." Faust trailed off.

Varis turned to them, "Did you take care of the weaklings below?"

"Yes. We destroyed them all." Baira bowed which shocks Windy.

"What?" Windy asked in shock.

Genome smirked, "Don't worry. Those without DNA were surprisingly weak."

"How dare you...!" Windy growled really angry.

"Then it's about time I end this too." Varis told them turning back to Windy.

Gunslinger looked over the field, "Ya sure Varis? Windy has a tough monster on his field."

"It's plenty Gunslinger." Varis answered to him, "You may learn something."

"You no longer have your Ace Monster!" Windy reminded, "You're guaranteed to lose! Why don't you admit that you can't win?"

Varis didn't answer before a voice said, "You're funny. The climax featuring Varis' victory is just starting!"

They turned to see Specter, and a boy with blue, red, and orange hair wearing a orange suit, and having a dark red, orange-eyes Ignis.

"Windy and Varis are dueling?" the teen asked surprised.

"Soulburner!" Playmaker cried surprised,

Ai cried in relief, "Flame!"

"Playmaker?" Soulburner asked shocked.

"Huh. Five Ignis in the same room." Varis grinned at this.

"Ai! What's going on?" Flame questioned his kin, "Did the Knights of Hanoi do this?"

"No! No!" Ai cried to him to stop him from getting the wrong idea, "Windy and Lightning are the ones who did this!"

"Lightning?" Flame repeated before looking to see Windy, and Lightning, "That light... You did this?"

"Another human supporter has arrived." Windy sighed before turning to Lightning, "Let's just lock them up."

Lightning raise his up as a ball hurled to them which Flame called, "Expect protection!"

A orb of red light appeared that defended them which Soulburner grinned, "Kolter's program worked!"

"Kolter?" Gunslinger asked surprised at that which Soulburner, and Flame finally noticed them.

"You?" Flame asked shocked seeing the Aqua.

Aqua chuckled, "Long time no see Flame."

"Uh... Can you free us first?" Ai requested which Flame nodded before tossing red orbs to them which disabled the orbs that contained Playmaker, and Ai as the Ignis flew to Playmaker's Duel Disk, "Alright! Ai fly! Windy! How dare you do that!"

"Now that he's free, he's acting tough." Windy grumbled before telling Varis, "Begin your final turn!"

Varis ? Turn:

"It won't be final unless I exterminate you! Duel resume!" Varis called as he drew, "I draw!"

"Since you don't have your ace, you can't destroy Bahamut Bomber!" Windy grinned at him which Varis grinned with his eyes closed, "Pretending to be confident?"

"Since you have lame imagination, you can't imagine this!" Varis declared, "I activate the effect of Boot Sector Launch! I summon a rokket from my graveyard, when you have my monsters then me! Come, Anesthrokket Dragon!"

At that a black drill like dragon appeared.

"Then I summon the Rokket Synchron Tuner Monster!" Varis added as a new blue bullet dragon appeared.

"Wait did he just say Tuner Monster?" Gunslinger asked shocked.

Varis told him, "Gunslinger there had been new cards for the rokkets you don't have. Allow me to demonstrate! I activate Rokket Synchron's Special Ability! When it's summoned, I can take a level 5 or higher DARK Dragon from my graveyard, and summon it in defense mode, but it can't have it's abilities! Revive Speedburst Dragon!"

At that a yellow turret dragon appeared.

When this card is Tribute Summoned: You can add 2 "Rokket" monsters with different names from your Deck to your hand. You can only use each effect of "Speedburst Dragon" once per turn.

"Additionally the monster summoned by this ability is destroyed during the End Phase." Varis added.

"You can't be..." Windy started with a scowl.

Varis declared, "I can be! Level 1 Rokket Synchron tunes level 1 Anesthrokket Dragon and level 6 Speedburst Dragon!"

At that Rokket Synchron turned to 1 ring as the two non-Tuner Dragons flew up which the ring passed by them forming 7 stars.

(LV: 1 + 1 + 6 = 8)

Lightning eyed the summoning saying to himself, "Tuning... Synchro..."

"Heroic dragon! Fire by transforming your ferocious fangs into bullets! Synchro Summon! Come out, Level 8! Borreload Savage Dragon!" Varis chanted as too his call a white, and red scaled version of Borreload Dragon roaring.

When your opponent activates a card or effect (Quick Effect): You can remove 1 Borrel Counter from this card; negate the activation. You can only use this effect of "Borreload Savage Dragon" once per turn.

"Synchro!" Soulburner cried shocked.

"Oh Dios mío!" Gunslinger called in disbelief seeing the Synchro Dragon.

Windy grunted as Varis called, "I activate Borreload Savage Dragon's Special Ability! When it's Synchro Summoned, I can equip 1 Link Monster in my graveyard to this card! And by doing so it gains Borrel Counters equal to it's Link Rating! Borreload Dragon is Link-4! Therefore it has 4 Borrel Counters!"

The card was shown in his Spell/Trap Card Zone as four orbs flew in Savage Dragon's gun barrel torso. (Borrel Counter: 4)

"Equip Borreload Dragon?" Ai asked shocked.

"This was unexpected." Lightning remarked.

Windy grabbed his head yelling, "That's why I hate humans! He keeps doing what I don't expect!"

"It's natural Windy!" Gunslinger called to the Wind Ignis, "In a duel someone can turn the tables, and do a move nobody can expect! You can't expect to know everything! There are surprises everywhere."

"Right you are Gunslinger." Varis agreed, "Like this one! Borreload Savage Dragon gains attack points equal to half of the Link Monster it's equipped to by it's effect!"

Savage Dragon: (ATK: 3000 + 1500 = 4500)

Windy called, "Not bad, but it's over! I activate Bahamut Bomber's Special Ability! I destroy a card in your Spell/Trap Card zone, and you take 500 points of damage! I destroy Borreload Dragon!"

Gunslinger, and Aqua looked worried at-

"You fool! That's why I said you have lame imagination!" Varis called which they turned to where he revealed, "I activate Savage Dragon's ability! Once a turn when you activate a card effect, I can negate it by removing one Borrel Counter from him!"

A orb flew out of Savage Dragon's gun barrel torso. (Borrel Counter: 4 - 1 = 3)

That made Windy shut his overconfident mouth, "WHAT!?"

"Atone for your crimes in the afterlife!" Varis cried, "Borreload Savage Dragon destroy Bahamut Bomber!"

The dragon aimed it's mouth cannon at it as Windy looked on fearful unable to do anything as Savage Dragon destroyed his monster pushing him back with him screaming landing on the floor.

Varis: 0100

Windy: 0000

Varis wins the duel!

"What a comeback..." Ai said amazed.

Windy weakly reached to Lightning, "Light...ning..."

Lightning stared at him before turning to Varis, "Impressive dueling tactics. A pity that a human like you must be erased."

"Lightning..." Windy weakly called again.

Lightning only scolded, "You underestimated him, Windy."

That made Gunslinger look at Lightning in disbelief, "Seriamente? He's not gonna help him?"

"Finish him." Varis ordered which Specter bowed.

Hearing that Playmaker, and Gunslinger cried, "Wait, Varis!"

Faust, Baira, and Genome made purple orbs as they fired skewers at Windy who looked on fearful screaming closing his eyes.

STAB! STAB! STAB!

Everyone looked shocked as Windy blinked not feeling pain as he looked.

...To see Gunslinger had defended him from the attack.

"Y-You?" Windy asked shocked that a human saved him from termination.

Despite being in pain Gunslinger grinned with a wince, "Y-You don't deserve this... Your a amigo to me Windy... And I want you to have peace with humans like how Aqua, Flame, and Ai do... If you can find it in your AI Heart you can see it's true..."

"..." Windy said nothing as he looked on glaring.

"You defended the Ignis?"

Gunslinger turned to Varis who asked him that, "Varis... I told you before, I can only help if we can make peace with the Ignis... And this isn't what we agreed on!"

Meanwhile Aqua flew to Windy, and started to use her abilities to heal him, "It'll be fine Windy... You'll be back to your feet in no time."

"A-Aqua... Even after what Lightning did... You still assist us?" Windy asked her grunting.

Aqua shook her head, "Don't mistake it like that. I want to stop Lightning like before. But Gunslinger has got me to learn there is good in everyone, and that it is possible we can have peace together. And him taking a hit for you even though your an enemy proves it."

As she finished saying that she finished healing Windy who raise up stretching his body to get the feeling back which Gunslinger smiled at.

"Your one interesting human, Gunslinger." Lightning told him which they turned, "Making sacrifices, and healing for your enemies to attain peace. I must ask what made you go down that road?"

"It's real easy once you see." Gunslinger said raising up as the program to the skewers had no effect on it due to him not being an Ignis, "You always gotta make sure to follow your heart, and it'll light you the way."

"That's an interesting way to see things." Lightning admitted, "If that must be the case, I will follow MY heart, and it'll light MY way."

"So you, and Windy'll have peace with the humans?" Gunslinger asked him hopeful only be surprised by Lightning laughing.

"Unfortunately that isn't the case." Lightning smirked to him, "It's impossible to avoid a fight now after seeing Varis."

At that two people appeared beside him. One was a tanned man with a white robe, and looking holy. Another was a small boy with orange hair, and having on a gray, and white robe.

"You're..." Playmaker trailed off shocked, "Bohman! Haru! What did you do with Kolter's brother!? Where is he!?"

Lightning smirked to him, "You mean Jin Kolter. He's been in front of you from the start."

"What?" Playmaker asked shocked.

Lightning smirked as the silhouette covering on the person he's on is shedding revealing a pale young man with short purple hair, and having on a white, and gold robe looking more royal then Bohman's own robe. Gunslinger gasped seeing this, "He... Looks like Kolter!"

"No way..." Soulburner trailed off shocked.

"Your partner is..." Playmaker trailed off just as shocked.

"That's Cal Kolter's brother, Jin Kolter." Varis said seeing this.

"That's right. He's my origin." Lightning confirmed.

"I sort of expected that." Varis said not surprised.

"I'll save you! Your brother is waiting for you to come home!" Playmaker called to Jin but he isn't responding.

"It's no use, Playmaker." Lightning told him, "He may hear your voice, but he can't answer. He's imprisoned deep in his consciousness."

Growling Playmaker yelled, "Lightning, you were the one manipulating Bohman! You ordered Bohman to steal Kolter's Brother's consciousness?"

"Correct." Lightning answered like he's proud too.

Gunslinger asked him, "Why do that? He didn't do anything to you!"

"That maybe true." Lightning agreed, "But me, and Windy's main points are similar. Ignis and Origins can't help but to affect each other."

"Like the Link Sense between me and Playmaker." Ai realized.

"Uncertainly bothers me." Lightning remarked to him, "So I had it erased."

"This is what you mean by putting humans under your control." Varis said to him.

"Including you Varis." Lightning added, "The crime for trying to annihilate us is huge."

"If you're allies, it means Lightning was the one who gave Judgement Arrows to Bohman!" Playmaker yelled.

That made Aqua widen her eyes, "Judgement Arrows?"

"I can see you haven't forgotten." Lightning remarked to her hearing that.

"Judgement Arrows?" Gunslinger asked confused.

Windy took this to say with a smirk, "It's a new weapon Lightning created known as a Link Spell Card. It's what he used to destroy the Cyberse World."

"What?" Ai, and Flame asked shocked.

"So it's true... I want to believe my power had a glitch... But it's real. You destroyed the Cyberse World just as you planned Lightning!" Aqua yelled at Lightning with tears in her eyes.

Lightning clapped, "Wonderful Aqua. You still remembered my plan."

Years Ago...

Lightning was over at a cave like area with a card glowing card forming as Aqua stumbled upon him seeing it, "That's..."

"It's you." Lightning said calmly turning to her.

As Aqua walked to him she asked, "What are you trying to do?"

"A test. This is a new card to protect Cyberse World from Humans." Lightning answered pointing at the card as her eyes glowed blue he told her, "It seems pointless to hide it."

"I sense something disturbing about you." Aqua admitted.

Hearing that Lightning told her, "I knew you're the one I should be worried about."

With that he formed a yellow orb that enveloped Aqua as she was soon shown in a cage, "What are you doing? What's the point of doing this?"

Rather then answering Lightning clenched his fist as the cage started to vanish before stating, "In order to further my plans, I'll first erase Cyberse World. I won't let you interfere."

At that she vanished completely.

The revelation have shocked everyone, and made Varis' eyes narrowed.

"And now you've done it..." Aqua clenched her fists as she started tearing up, "Everything that happened to Cyberse World, and all the conflicts... It's all on you, and it's your fault!"

"Your angry is amusing Aqua. I'll remind you that you don't stand a chance against me." Lightning smirked to her.

Aqua sighed, "Yes, I'm not strong enough to battle you. But I have a solution! It's standing behind me!"

"Wha-Me?" Gunslinger asked surprised, "Señorita is this why we dueled earlier, and said I was ready when I defeated you?"

"Oh? You defeated Aqua?" Lightning asked impressed, "If that's true then what she is saying about a solution is also true."

Aqua turned to Gunslinger, "Yes Gunslinger... I was looking for someone strong to help me combat Lightning, and stop him from further achieving his goals... When I saw you duel, you remind me of Varis but you are far different from him. Despite your ways of the Spanish Language, your goofy personality, and having fun in dueling, you never let anger cloud your mind from where you are, and you want peace between humans, and Ignis. And when you taught me that Dueling isn't about combat but rather for fun, and having friends during our duel, I knew that you are the one who can help us. I do regret putting you through this, and that I should've gone to my partner, but Lightning infected her with a virus so I was unable to recruit her. Now your dragged into what seemed like a war. I'm sorry."

When she finished she was looking down wondering what Gunslinger might do. That was when she gently felt herself being picked up as she looked to see Gunslinger having that smile on his face, "Sorry? No Aqua you don't have anything to apologize for. You did gotten me to meet up with the Hero of LINK VRAINS, have a chance to take on the Knights of Hanoi's Leader, and now getting ready to face any challenge that duelists dreamed on getting into. I know this isn't fun, and games, but you still gotta gave fun, and enjoy along with respecting your opponent, your cards, and yourself as long as you can. And it is like what mi familia, always says: Mantente cerca, y cuidado."

"Gunslinger..." Aqua trailed off at that with a tearful smile.

"Quite the speech." Lightning remarked which made the two turn to him, "You duel for fun, and dreamed on dueling the best of the best. It's no wonder why Aqua chose you to fight me alongside her. As a reward..."

He snapped his fingers as Windy grunted grabbing his head which made them turn to him as his eyes turned purple.

"Wh... What just happened to me?" Windy asked rubbing his head.

"Windy?" Aqua asked him concerned.

Windy groaned, "Aqua, what happened? Last thing I remember was..."

His eyes widen before turning to Lightning, "YOU! You rewrote my programming!"

"Rewrote his programming?" Playmaker asked shocked.

"Exactly. Because his true personality was altered." Varis told him.

Ai asked shocked, "His personality was altered?"

"Indeed. The Light Ignis done that to further his Ignis Unification plan. He rewrote the Wind Ignis' program to force it to be it's ally." Varis added to them, "I checked the simulations, and see no trace of an evil personality."

Windy clenched his fists glaring at Lightning, "Why did you correct it?"

"It's quite simple Windy." Lightning told him calmly, "After witnessing Gunslinger risking his life for you, and hearing Aqua, and him talking to each about their friendship, and fun for dueling I figured, I should make sure you really get a chance to experience that. However it changes nothing to my plans."

"Centering around the Ignis Unification Plan?" Gunslinger questioned him.

This time Bohman said something, "Indeed Gunslinger. I am Bohman, and I am what the plan is. I am the 3rd Generation of AI created by Lightning. Bit and Boot are the first, and Haru is the second Generation. Lightning desires to unite the Ignis into one perfect form, and I am that."

"And five of them are here already." Lightning added, "The Earth Ignis is nowhere to be seen but he will be among with us soon."

Aqua glared at him as Lightning turned to Haru, "Haru?"

He turned to the Ignis at that.

"Duel Gunslinger." Lightning ordered which surprised everyone, "It's for two things. One is too see how much skills he has. And two for him to see what he's gonna battle against."

"You sure you want to do that?" Gunslinger asked him.

Lightning answered, "Indeed. It wouldn't be fun if you don't know what your fighting. And you do need to know how we fight right?"

"You got a point." Gunslinger told him, "Fine if that's what you want then ya estás, amigo!"

At that Haru readies as the Master Duel layout appeared, Gunslinger said, "Windy, Aqua you two stay back. I'll do this on my own."

"Alright, but be careful." Windy sighed as Aqua nodded uncertainly as they flew back as Gunslinger readied.

Varis answered, "It's special ability. Rokkets depend on Link Monsters targeting them."

"And now as such Silverrokket's ability activates!" Gunslinger called, "When a Link Monster targets it, I can destroy it, and banish a card from your Extra Deck!"

"What?" Haru asked surprised.

"Banishing from the Extra Deck?" Flame asked stunned.

Specter grinned, "Well Master Varis it seems we really overdone ourselves by recruiting Gunslinger."

Varis only nodded in agreement as a screen of Haru's Extra Deck appeared in front of Gunslinger as he looked over before deciding, "That one."

At that a purple trident warrior appeared as Silverrokket shattered turning to a bullet as it entered Quadborrel's barrel as it fired at the warrior which destroyed it.

"The Link 3, Trident Hydradrive Lord." Haru frowned.

"Hydradrive?" Playmaker asked surprised.

Haru told them, "I have taught Hydradrive to Bohman to prepare him."

"So your the original wielder of those Cyberse Cards." Varis said as Haru grinned with a shrug.

Gunslinger looked over seeing his field is packed, and he has 1 card in his hand, "Appear the Circuit of the West!"

The circuit appeared.

"The summoning conditions are at least 3 effect monsters!" Gunslinger called as the three flew up, "Link Summon! Appear Link 4, Borreload Dragon!"

Borreload appeared roaring.

At the start of the Damage Step, if this card attacks an opponent's monster: You can place that opponent's monster in a zone this card points to and take control of it, but send it to the GY during the End Phase of the next turn.

"Alright Borreload!" Ai cheered.

Lightning remarked, "Interesting. Now I see why Aqua chose you. It's no wonder."

"I'm done with my opening, but I'm not done with this!" Gunslinger called, "I activate Silverrokket's ability! When it's destroyed, I can summon a new rokket from my Deck! I chose Anesthrokket!"

Anesthrokket appeared ready.

"Your turn." Gunslinger ended his first turn.

Haru 1st Turn:

"You have quite an advantage." Haru admitted drawing seeing the card Aqua saw, "But that doesn't I'm down. I summon Hydradrive Booster!"

A digital brown fly with a crest appeared.

The monster flew to the bottom marker.

"Link Summon, Link 1! Flow Hydradrive!"

A green winged monster appeared.

If this card is destroyed by battle or card effect: You can Special Summon 1 "Hydradrive Token" (Cyberse/EARTH/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0) in Defense Position.

Windy's eyes narrowed seeing it.

"Then I activate Hydradrive Scabbard!" Haru called, "This allows me to summon a Hydradrive Token to the field!"

A small brown monster appeared.

Hydradrive Scabbard

A serpent blue monster appeared.

"Now appear, the three arrows that judge the world. I play the Link Spell, Judgement Arrows!" Haru called as a spell with Link Arrows pointing at the top appeared.

Judgement Arrows

Link Markers: Top-Right, Top, Top-Left

If a Link Monster this card points to battles, its ATK becomes double its current ATK during damage calculation only. When this card leaves the field while it points to a monster(s), destroy all those monsters. You can only control 1 "Judgement Arrows", and only in your Spell & Trap Zone a Link Monster points to.

Gunslinger hearing that looked, 'That's the card Aqua talked about... I better be careful for what it does.'

"Now with that done, appear once more the circuit of the future!" Haru declared as the circuit appeared again. "The summoning conditions are 2 Hydradrive Link Monsters, I put Flow Hydradrive and Coolant Hydradrive in the Link Markers! Circuit Combine!"

The two flew up to the markers right, and left.

"Link Summon, Link 2! Twin Hydradrive Knight!" Haru called.

A knight wielding two swords appeared.

2 "Hydradrive" Link Monsters

If this card is Link Summoned: You can target up to 2 "Hydradrive" Link Monsters used as Link Material; this card is treated as having the same Attribute(s) as that target(s). Monsters your opponent controls with the same Attribute as this card's have their effect(s) negated.

"Twin Hydradrive Knight's special ability treats it as the same attributes as the monsters used to summon it, and any monster you control with the same attribute is has their effects negated." Haru added as the two blades glowed blue, and green.

Gunslinger pointed out, "That won't work on me since my monsters are Dark Attribute."

"That's true." Haru agreed with a grin with his eyes closed before opening them, "However... Trident Hydradrive Knight attacks your monster!"

"Huh?" Gunslinger asked confused as the knight charged, "Your monster doesn't have enough-"

Twin Hydradrive Knight: (ATK: 1800 * 2 = 3600)

"Oh Dios mío!" Gunslinger cried in shock.

Windy explained, "It's Judgement Arrows! It allows him to summon any monster from the Extra Deck using it's Link Arrows!"

"Good thing for that!" Gunslinger cried, "I activate Borreload's ability! Anti-Enemy Varret! One monster loses 500 attack, and defense points! And you can't play anything against this effect!"

"My monster would still be stronger." Haru grinned reminding, "If that would be the case you should've used it earlier."

Gunslinger grinned, "Except I'm not using it on Twin Hydradrive Knight. I'm using it on Anesthrokket Dragon!"

The dragon roared at the dragon.

"Anesthrokket Dragon special ability activates! When a Link Monster targets it, I can destroy it!" Gunslinger called as the dragon shattered entering Borreload's Gun Barrel Body, "And then one monster on your field loses it's effects, and it can't attack!"

"What?" Haru asked alarmed.

"I pick Twin Hydradrive Knight!" Gunslinger called as Borreload fired a bullet at Twin Hydradrive Knight weakening it as it stick it's swords to the ground.

Twin Hydradrive Knight: (ATK: 3600 / 2 = 1800)

"You've underestimated him." Lightning told Haru.

Haru frowned, "I set three cards, and end my turn."

"During the End Phase Anesthrokket Dragon's ability allows me to summon a new rokket from my Deck." Gunslinger reminded, "I summon Autorokket Dragon!"

The dragon appeared.

When a Link Monster's effect is activated that targets this face-up card on the field (Quick Effect): You can destroy this card, then send 1 Spell/Trap on the field to the GY. During the End Phase, if this card is in the GY because it was destroyed on the field by battle or card effect and sent there this turn: You can Special Summon 1 "Rokket" monster from your Deck, except "Autorokket Dragon". You can only use each effect of "Autorokket Dragon" once per turn.

Gunslinger: 4000

Haru: 4000

Gunslinger 2nd Turn:

"My turn! Draw!" Gunslinger drew seeing Supply Squad, "I activate Supply Squad!"

Supply Squad

Continuous Spell Card

Once per turn, if a monster(s) you control is destroyed by battle or card effect: Draw 1 card.

"As long as it's on the field when a monster I have is destroyed, I can draw a card!" Gunslinger called, "Borreload's effect! Anti-Enemy Varret! Target Autorokket!"

Borreload roared at Autorokket.

"Autorokket's effect!" Gunslinger added as Autorokket shattered entering Borreload's body, "When targeted by a Link Monster's effect, I can send 1 Spell or Trap card to the graveyard! I send Judgement Arrows!"

Borreload fired at the Link Spell.

Haru called, "I activate the trap, Hydradrive Judgement!"

Hydradrive Judgement

Normal Trap Card

Target 1 face-up Spell/Trap Card on the field: It cannot be effected by the opponent's card effects this turn. You can banish this card from your GY: Special Summon 1 "Hydradrive" Link Monster from your GY. You can only use each effect of "Hydradrive Judgement" once per turn.

"With this Judgement Arrows isn't effected by your cards this turn!" Haru called as the blast proved unaffected to Judgement Arrows.

Gunslinger called, "Supply Squad's effect! I draw!"

He drew at that.

"He's rather interesting." Bohman remarked.

Lightning nodded in agreement.

"Go Borreload! Attack Twin Hydradrive Knight!" Gunslinger called as Borreload fired a blast.

Ai cried, "But due to Judgement Arrows it's attack points will be doubled!"

"Unless Gunslinger is using Borreload's Strange Trigger." Playmaker told him as the blast reached closer.

Duels:

Varis vs Windy

The Duel is conducted as a Master Duel.

An unknown amount of time is skipped. Varis only controls "Boot Sector Launch" with no cards in his hand. Windy controls "Stormridership Bahamut Bomber" (2800 → 3100/LINK-3/↙↓↘), and "Stormrider Turbulance" who's effect increases the ATK of all "Stormrider" monsters on the field by 300.

? Turn: Varis
As Windy controls more monsters than Varis, Varis activates the effect of "Boot Sector Launch", Special Summoning "Rokket" monsters with different names from his GY in Defense Position, up to the difference. Varis Special Summons "Anesthrokket Dragon" (0/2200). The effect of "Boot Sector Launch" increases the ATK/DEF of all "Rokket" monsters on the field by 300 ("Anesthrokket": 0/2200 → 300/2500).

Varis then Normal Summons "Rokket Synchron" (0 → 300/0 → 300) in Attack Position. As "Rokket Synchron" was Normal Summoned its effect activates, allowing Varis to Special Summon 1 Level 5 or higher DARK Dragonfrom his GY in Defense Position, but its effects are negated and it's destroyed during the End Phase. He Special Summons "Speedburst Dragon" (2400/600).

Varis then tunes the Level 1 Tuner "Rokket Synchron" with Level 1 "Anesthrokket Dragon" and Level 6 "Speedburst Dragon" to Synchro Summon "Borreload Savage Dragon" (3000/2500) in Attack Position. As "Savage Dragon" was Synchro Summoned Varis activates its effect to target 1 Link Monster in his GY and equip it to "Savage Dragon", and have it gain Borrel Counters equal to the Link Rating of the equipped monster.

Varis targets "Borreload Dragon" ("Borreload Savage Dragon": Borrel Counters: 4) The other effect of "Savage Dragon" allows it to gain ATK equal to half the ATK of the equipped monster ("Savage Dragon": 3000 → 4500/2500). Windy activates the effect of "Bahamut Bomber" to destroy 1 card in Varis Spell/Trap Card Zone and inflict 500 damage to him. He targets "Borreload Dragon" but Varis activates the effect of "Savage Dragon" as Windy activated an effect, removing 1 Borrel Counter to negate the activation ("Borreload Savage Dragon": Borrel Counters: 4 → 3). "Savage Dragon" attacks and destroys "Bahamut Bomber" (Windy: 900 → 0 LP).

Gunslinger vs Haru

The Duel is conducted as a Master Duel.

Turn 1: Gunslinger
Gunslinger draws "Quick Launch", and subsequently activates it Special Summoning "Silverrokket Dragon" (1900/100) from his Deck in Attack Position. Gunslinger Normal Summons "Gateway Dragon" (1600/1400). Gunslinger activates the effect of "Gateway Dragon" to Special Summon a Level 4 or lower DARK Dragon monster from his hand. He Special 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 uses "Sniffer Dragon" to Link Summon "Striker Dragon" (1000/LINK-1/←) to the Extra Monster Zone. As "Striker Dragon" is Link Summoned it's effect activates allowing Gunslinger to add "Boot Sector Launch" from his Deck to his hand, and subsequently activates it. The effect of "Boot Sector Launch" increases the ATK/DEF of all "Rokket" monsters on the field by 300 ("Silverrokket": 1900/100 → 2200/400). Gunslinger activates the effect of "Boot Sector Launch" Special Summoning "Magnarokket Dragon" (1800 → 2100/1200 → 1500), and "Shelrokket Dragon" (1100 → 1400/2000 → 2300) from his hand in Defense Position.

Gunslinger used "Striker Dragon", and "Gateway Dragon" to Link Summon, "Quadborrel Dragon" (1000/LINK-2/←↓) to the Extra Monster Zone. He activates the effect of "Quadborrel Dragon" discarding 1 card, and not Special Summoning other LINK-2 or lower monsters from his Extra Deck this turn to destroy 1 face-up monster on the field. He targets "Silverrokket", and chains it with "Silverrokket's" Quick Effect which destroys itself, and for Gunslinger to banish a card from Haru's Extra Deck. He banishes "Trident Hydradrive Lord" from Haru's Extra Deck.

Gunslinger then uses "Quadborrel Dragon", "Magarokket", and "Shelrokket" to Link Summon "Borreload Dragon" (3000/LINK-4/←↙↘→) to the Extra Monster Zone. During the End Phase, Gunslinger activates the effect of "Silverrokket" 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 "Anesthrokket Dragon" (0 → 300/2300 → 2500) in Defense Position.

Turn 2: Haru
Haru draws "Judgement Arrows". He Normal Summons "Hydradrive Booster" (0/0). Haru then uses "Hydradrive Token" to Link Summon "Flow Hydradrive" (1000/↓). Haru activates the Spell, "Hydradrivee Scabbard" Special Summoning 1 "Hydradrive Token" (0/0) in Defense Position. Haru uses the "Hydradrive Token" to Link Summon "Coolant Hydradrive" (1000/LINK-1/↓) to the Extra Monster Zone.

Haru activates the Link Spell Card "Judgement Arrows" (↖↑↗) at the Spell/Trap Zone that "Coolant Hydradrive" points to. He then uses "Flow Hydradrive" and "Coolant Hydradrive" to Link Summon "Twin Hydradrive Knight" (1800/LINK-2/←→) to the zone a Link Arrow of "Judgement Arrows" points to. As "Twin Hydradrive Knight" was Link Summoned, Haru activates its effect to change its Attribute to that of the original Attributes of the Link Monsters used for its Link Summon, in this case both WIND and WATER. As long as "Twin Hydradrive Knight" is on the field, monsters with the same Attribute as it have their effects negated.

"Twin Hydradrive Knight" attacks "Borreload Dragon". Since a Link Monster it points to is battling, the effect of "Judgement Arrows" doubles the ATK of that monster during damage calculation ("Twin Hydradrive Knight": 1800 → 3600 ATK). Gunslinger activates the Quick Effect of "Borreload Dragon", decreasing the ATK and DEF of a monster on the field by 500 with Haru unable to activate card effects in response. Gunslinger targets "Anesthrokket", and chains it with it's Quick Effect, destroying itself, as a Link Monster's effect targets it to target 1 monster on the field, and negate it's effects if any, and make it unable to attack. He targets "Twin Hydradrive Knight", and so the battle is invalid, and "Judgement Arrows's" effect expires. ("Twin Hydradrive Knight": 3600 → 1800 ATK)

Haru sets three cards. During the End Phase, Gunslinger activates the effect of "Anesthrokket" 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 "Autorokket Dragon" (1600 → 1900/1000 → 1300) in Defense Position.

Turn 3: Gunslinger
Gunslinger draws "Supply Squad", and subsequently activates it. So now once per turn whenever one of Gunslinger's monsters is destroyed by either battle or by card effect, he can draw 1 card. Gunslinger activates the effect of "Borreload Dragon", decreasing the ATK and DEF of a monster on the field by 500 with Haru unable to activate card effects in response. He targets "Autorokket", and chains it with it's Quick Effect destroying itself as a Link Monster's effect targets it to send 1 Spell/Trap Card on the field to the GY. Gunslinger targets "Judgement Arrows" but Haru activates his face-down, "Hydradrive Judgement" in response to "Autorokket's" Quick Effect to target 1 face-up Spell/Trap Card on the field, and make it unaffected to Gunslinger's card effects this turn. He targets "Judgement Arrows", and so "Autorokket's" Quick Effect is unaffected to it.

The effect of "Supply Squad" activates allowing Gunslinger to draw 1 card. "Borreload Dragon" attacks "Twin Hydradrive Knight".

Yeah Lightning freed Windy. But now Windy will now be fighting the good fight. And that is the first of the many changes you'll see in this fic. What are the others you might ask? Find out next time! Be sure to review!
