A few days after Blue had gained information from the Hanoi recruitment fight club, there had been no contact from Playmaker or was there any sign of Hanoi.
"Jin finally finished analyzing the data you found…. it's a location… this could be the actual base of the Hanoi!" Aoi said.
"Well I found it on their servers… it must be something big." Blue replied. "I've been thinking…. Ignis have our own language and our names are something the human race could never say…. since I'm linked to the Water Attribute…. Blue seems a bit… generic."
"What does it matter? You don't understand how humans think anyway." Aoi replied.
"I am learning your ways… though your race still makes no logical sense." Blue replied. "The name Aqua… makes more logical sense… that is my name from now on in." Aqua said.
"Fine." Aoi said, she didn't really care what the Ignis called herself. "Now we should contact Playmaker and go to this new base…. but first I need to go to school." Aoi said.
"And I guess I'm stuck in this house again…?"
"Yes. You're not going outside until any circumstance… why don't you talk to the maid bot or something…" Aoi replied as she picked up her school bag and begun to walk out.
"But that thing is just a robot slave…"
"Does it matter? It's not programmed to have free-will like you have." Aoi answered.
"It's still got the potential!" Aqua added.
"I don't have time to debate robot ethics… just stay here and don't cause trouble." Aoi said as she walked out the door.
"Trouble? Who does she think I am?" Aqua said annoyed, while crossing her arms.
Outside
As Aoi walked, she heard a familiar noise, it was a motorcycle.
The rider pulled up next to Aoi as the female took of her helmet, it was Emma.
"Hey kiddo!" Aoi sighed.
"Please don't call me that." Aoi said, she didn't wish to engage in a talk at the moment.
"Aoi you need to work with me, I look after you and you need to tell me what's wrong." Emma added.
"I'm fine… just let me go to school." Aoi began walking off.
"Ah… being sixteen… always a funny time… especially for girls."
"It's not that! I just want to be on my own!" Aoi firmly replied.
"I see you got out on the wrong side of the bed… anyway why don't we see your brother later. I will contact SOL." Emma replied.
"Fine…." Aoi said.
School
Aoi was now sat on a park bench during a school break. She had Jin on the phone as Jin did home lessons due to his disability.
"Emma is only looking out for you." Jin said.
"I know but she's… annoying." Aoi replied.
"She is only looking out for you, not many people are lucky to have that."
"I don't need her to replace Akira."
"She's not…. but maybe if you spoke to her rather than trying to be distant you could tell her."
"We're nothing alike… I was an idol and she's a treasure hunter."
"Aren't you also a hunter now?"
"Don't take her side, Jin." Aoi said.
"Ever since Akira went into that coma within VRAINS… you always become so different when Emma is brought in."
"Anyway work on where that base is." Aoi said as she hung up.
SOL
Emma pulled up outside SOL's HQ with Aoi on the back, she wore a black helmet.
"Here we are." Emma said as both girls took of their helmets.
Inside Emma and Aoi saw numerous workers walking around doing their various jobs. Emma and Aoi went up to the front desk.
"We're here to see Akira Zaizen." Emma said to the receptionist. Aoi looked around and saw a female in a business suit walk down some steps. She had short blue and green hair. The female saw Aoi and Emma and quickly made her way over to them.
"Miss Zaizen… Miss Besso."
"Oh… hello Queen." Emma replied.
"I know it sounds weird but Queen is what I prefer, my real name is too formal! Are you here to see your brother?" Queen said to Aoi.
"Yes we are." Aoi replied firmly.
"Sadly the condition he is in…. it's been the same since he came in from the incident two years ago." Queen replied.
"Well he got put into a coma while on SOL duty…." Aoi said snidely. Queen didn't react.
"Ignore Aoi; she's not in a good mood." Emma said. "Now we should go!" Emma tried to end the conversation as she dragged Aoi away, Queen smirked.
"If you ever wish to return as Blue Angel… we would be happy to fund your comeback party." Queen said.
"I'm retired." Aoi said as she walked off after Emma.
Outside a door, Emma and Aoi waited for the doctors to leave so they could visit. Emma lent against a wall.
"That was immature; Queen and the rest of SOL are helping Akira." Emma replied.
"I don't care. I just Akira back." Aoi replied. "He went into a coma while on a SOL mission… you was his partner and you let him down!"
"I did no such thing!" Emma hit back. "Do you really think I don't think about that moment every day?! I tried my best to stop it from happening!" The doors opened and the doctors departed. The two entered.
Inside they saw Akira in a bed with tubes attached to him. There were robot assistants checking stats from a monitor he was hooked up to.
"Oh Brother…" Aoi said as she took a seat and held Akira's hand.
….
"How much closer are we?" Queen said in an empty room. Seconds later numerous chess pieces emerged in the room.
"We are lacking the same details as before… Hanoi… the Ignis…." said a chess piece.
"Fine…." said Queen as some of the other chess pieces faded except for the King. "I had to be all cutesy to those two…."
"We could kill Zaizen at any point." said the chess piece. "Just give me the word."
"Nah, he's irrelevant." Queen replied. "He saw something he shouldn't; we took care of him… as long as Emma remains believing it of course… she's a smart one."
"Onto the Ignis…. are you sure you wish to hire Ghost Girl?" King said.
"Of course, I'll speak to her later… money is no object."
"Make it so."
Emma
Emma and Queen were talking away from Aoi in the main reception. Aoi was still worried about Akira as she waited.
"So I can trust you with this vital job?" Queen said as she gave an envelope to Emma.
"Please, you're hiring the best bounty hunter…. anyway… by any means?" Emma asked.
"Of course… by any means."
A While Later
Emma was in an underground tunnel, it was an abounded place Emma had found a few years ago to conduct her research ahead of her hunting.
Emma typed on a computer which was located on the side; she smirked as saw a picture of her merging with a Knight of Hanoi outfit.
"Perfect and this should attract Blue Girl." Emma said as she stood up. Her duel disk read "download complete". "Now…. into the VRAINS!"
Aoi/Jin
"I have a location… it's an underground warehouse within LINK VRAINS… I had to dig out very old maps of LINK VRAINS… they've built so much on top of it… it seems forgotten about." Jin said while at his home, Aoi was with him.
"Perfect place to hide whatever they're planning." Aoi added. As they spoke an alert appeared on Jin's computer.
"Oh great… a sighting of another Hanoi." Jin said.
"A higher-up?"
"No, just another minion…"
"Fine, I'll go." Aoi said as she placed her deck into the duel disk. "I need to get home quickly."
Aoi Home
Aqua and the pink home-bot of Aoi's were watching the same magical girl show Aqua watched days before.
"Are you sure there is nothing to clean?"
"No… I don't think…. I'm interested in what you think of this show." Aqua replied.
"Is there anything I need to wash?"
"No! Doesn't your programming have anything other than cleaning?" Aqua replied. "Don't worry about that, I really need to talk with someone else that isn't the human girl."
"…." The robot extended its arms and grabbed Aqua.
"Wait!"
"Into the recycling." The bot begun to move Aqua towards a bin
"Ugh! I am not garbage!" Aqua said as she shot out of its arms and onto the sofa.
"Unidentified intruder." said the bot as its eyes turned red.
"Aoi should really re-programme this thing!" Aqua said. She shot around the room using her speed as the bot chased after it around the house.
A second later the door opened and the bot stopped as did Aqua who landed on a table.
"Welcome home…. Aoi." said the bot.
"You're a crazy robot!" Aqua hit out to bot.
"No time for that." Before Aqua could breathe, Aoi grabbed her.
"What now?!" Aqua said as Aoi pushed her into the duel disk forcefully.
"Hanoi is around, we need to go!" Aoi replied as she faded into the VRAINS.
LINK VRAINS
Blue Girl landed on her D-Board as Aqua appeared in her eyeball form.
"First I'm attacked by a crazed robot and now you push me into your duel disk….. do I get no respect?" she said.
"You're an AI… just do your job as if you were muted." Blue Girl replied.
"Ok…oh…"
Blue Girl saw in the distance the Hanoi Knight flying towards her. The Knight made a sharp turn on the D-Board and now faced Blue Girl head on.
"Hanoi!" Blue Girl said.
"This disguise is a disaster…" said the figure as the outfit begun to remove its self. It revealed a female with grey and pink hair with a mask over her lower face. She had a dark purple one-piece outfit with high black socks and boots.
"Ghost Girl?!" Blue Girl yelled.
"Yes… and I should sue you for copyright! Blue Girl…. really? How boring." Ghost Girl replied.
"Does she… know…?" Blue Girl thought.
"Also you look quite similar to Blue Angel… I guess you're one of those fan-girls…!" Emma taunted.
"Excuse me?!" Blue Girl said, enraged.
"Yeah and I hear from my source that you have an…. "Ignis"….."
"So what if I do?"
"Well…. this!" Ghost Girl threw a cube into the air which turned into electricity. The bolt shot down and hit Blue Girl's duel disk. Aqua screamed from the duel disk which made her exit it as it was zapping her from within.
"Damnit… cheap move!" Blue Girl replied.
"At least you have the Ignis…. and also that little jolt has infected your duel disk, if you lose… then ownership of the Ignis will be transferred to me! Also you cannot log out of LINK VRAINS until we finish a duel!" Ghost Girl responded, mocking Blue Girl.
"That's a really dirty move!" Aqua added.
"I got paid in halve to do this job… once I return you to my client, I will get the rest of my pay."
"Who hired you?!" Aqua yelled.
"Client confidentiality! Now, let's Speed Duel!" Ghost Girl replied. A lane was created from data material which formed above the two.
"SOL hired you!" Aqua said. "They have access to Cyberse data material!"
"I won't confirm or deny that… now, let's do this!" Ghost Girl and Blue Girl rode their D-Board's into the wind as the duel was about to begin.
"SPEED DUEL!" both yelled.
Turn 1
Ghost Girl LP: 4000 Hand: 4
Blue Girl LP: 4000 Hand: 4
"I start by summoningAltergeist Marionetter!"
Altergeist Marionetter ATK: 1600 DEF: 1700 Light/Spellcaster/LVL 4
"Its effect allows me to set a Trap from my deck!" Ghost Girl set the card card. "Next I set one more from my hand and I end my turn!"
"There's no doubting it… this is Emma." Blue Girl thought.
"So Blue Girl, let's see what you've got!" Ghost Girl taunted.
"I'll show you!"
Turn 2
Ghost Girl LP: 4000 Hand: 2
Blue Girl LP: 4000 Hand: 4
"Draw!" Blue Girl said. At this point Aqua had returned to the duel disk.
"She looks tough… can you win this? I mean you haven't won a duel since Spider…." Aqua said, Blue Girl didn't respond.
"Let's go Moss Fighter!" A female dressed in white with green shrubbery around her emerged.
Moss Fighter ATK: 1400 DEF: 500 Light/Cyberse/LVL 3
"Moss Fighter's effect! When she's Normal Summoned I can decrease your Monsters attack X 300 for each Cyberse on my field!"
Marionetter ATK: 1300
"I play my Continuous Trap! Altergeist Protocol! If you activate a Monster effect, by sending Marionetter to the graveyard, I negate and destroy that Monster!"
"But that makes no sense?!" Marionetter was destroyed as Blue Girl's Moss Fighter also fell.
"It does if I do this! I can now summon Multifaker from my hand since I used a Trap!"A purple demon with numerous legs appeared.
Altergeist Multifaker ATK: 1200 DEF: 800 Dark/Spellcaster/LVL 3
"Since it was summoned this way I can summon an Altergeist from my deck!"
"What?!" Blue Girl replied in shock as a blue portal emerged.
"Appear Altergeist Silquitous!" A demon with red eyes emerged but it had the body of a bird. It had brown wings with black feathers.
Altergeist Silquitous ATK: 800 DEF: 1500 Wind/Spellcaster/LVL 2
"She turned your move into her move… she was able to get two Monsters out." Aqua said.
"I can see that! I set a card and end my turn!" Blue Girl said, annoyed.
"I don't know what an Ignis is but it seems you don't get along with it!" Ghost Girl mocked.
"I don't need to get along with it. And this duel is a waste of time but since you've trapped me here, what choice do I have!" Blue Girl added.
Turn 3
Ghost Girl LP: 4000 Hand: 2
Blue Girl LP: 4000 Hand: 3
"Draw! I summon Altergeist Pixiel!" A black and golden robot whose body was made up of different shapes emerged. It had fairy wings.
Altergeist Pixiel ATK: 100 DEF: 100 Wind/Spellcaster/LVL 1
"Her effect allows me to tribute it… and excavate three cards! If one is an Altergeist Card I can add it to my hand! Let's see what I get!" Three cards emerged ahead of Emma, under her mask she smirked. All three were Altergeist Cards. "I add the Trap Altergeist Manifestation and now I send the other two to the graveyard. Next I set Altergeist Manifestation and now…. I shall Link Summon!"
"Great…." Blue Girl said to herself.
"Now, open before me! The circuit that connects to the unknown parallel universe!" Emma shot a blue beam into the air as the Link circuit appeared. "I set all three of my Altergeists, go!" All three became three beams which shot into the sky. "Appear, LINK-3 Altergeist Primebanshee!" A long seprant emerged from the portal. It had numerous extra heads attached to its body. The Monster was summoned in Ghost Girl's right hand EMZ.
Altergeist Primebanshee ATK: 2300 Dark/Spellcaster/Link/LINK-3/Down, Right, Bottom Right
"I now use Monster Reborn to return Pixel to my Monsters arrow!" Pixel reappeared under the down arrow.
Altergeist Pixiel ATK: 100 DEF: 100 Wind/Spellcaster/LVL 1
"I use Primebanshee's effect to tribute Pixel which allows me to bring out a new Altergeist from my deck! Appear a second Marionetter!"
Altergeist Marionetter ATK: 1600 DEF: 1700 Light/Spellcaster/LVL 4
"I now attack directly! Feel this Blue Girl! Marionetter!" Blue Girl was hit by Marionetter who unleashed a dark beam into her stomach.
Blue Girl LP: 4000 - 2400
"Go my Trap Cyberse Fade! This ends the Battle Phase after a direct attack and I can add a Cyberse from my graveyard to the field! Appear again Moss!"
Moss Fighter ATK: 1400 DEF: 500 Light/Cyberse/LVL 3
"I end my turn."
Turn 4
Ghost Girl LP: 4000 Hand: 1
Blue Girl LP: 2400 Hand: 3
Blue Girl drew as the two reached a corner of the wind. Aqua came out of the duel disk to get a better view.
"I summon Blue Sage Knight!" A female knight with long blond hair appeared in light blue amour. It had blue flowers around the amour.
Blue Sage Knight ATK: 1700 DEF: 0 Wind/Cyberse/LVL 4
"Blue Sage allows me to equip a Cyberse from my hand onto her and she gains halve its attack! I equip Alchemilla Dancer which has 1200 so Blue Sage gains 600!"
Blue Sage ATK: 2300
"Now I use Moss Fighter to Link Summon! Circuit open! The summoning conditions are one level four or lower Cyberse! Go!" The circuit appeared as Moss shot into the bottom arrow. "Appear Ivy Solider!" A small female with bright pink cheeks appeared in green-yellow amour .
Ivy Solider ATK: 300 Wind/Cyberse/Link/LINK-1/Down
"Ivy Solider while pointing to Blue Sage allows me to destroy a card you control once per turn! I target that set card!" One of Ghost Girl's set cards were destroyed, it was Altergeist Manifestation. "Now Blue Sage attacks Primebanshee! When Blue Sage attacks she gains 200 attack during Damage Calculation only!"
Blue Sage ATK: 2500
"What?!" Ghost Girl gritted her teeth as Sage destroyed her Link.
Ghost Girl LP: 4000 – 3800
"Next I use my Forbidden Lance Spell from my hand on your Marionetter! She loses 800 attack!"
Marionetter ATK: 800
"Ivy's other effect! I destroy a Spell or Trap on my field to increase her attack by 1000! As Dancer is equipped to Blue Sage, I tribute her, however Blue Sage will lost her attack increase."
Ivy ATK: 1300
Sage Knight ATK: 1700
"Attack her Ivy!" Ivy slashed Marionetter in halve as Ghost Girl took more damage.
Ghost Girl LP: 3800 – 3200
"Not bad at all." Ghost Girl said.
"Just make your move, I end my turn."
Turn 5
Ghost Girl LP: 3200 Hand: 1
Blue Girl LP: 2400 Hand: 1
"Draw! Now… it's time to use my Skill!"
"Skill? Now?!" Aqua added as Ghost Girl's body begun to glow purple.
"I shall excavates cards from my deck until a Monster Card is revealed. The rest go to the graveyard and the Monster Card is added to my hand! We each gain lifepoints equal to its attack." Emma drew three cards, the third was a Monster.
"What did she get?" Aqua said.
"I drew Altergeist Meluseek so we each gain 500."
Blue Girl LP: 2400 - 2900
Ghost Girl LP: 3200 – 3700
"She sent the other two to her graveyard, they were Traps." Blue Girl said to herself.
"I banish Altergeist Manifestation which allows me to add another Trap from my grave! I add Altergeist Camouflage and now set it."
"She sent that card to her graveyard via her Skill…" Aqua said.
"Next I set one more card and now I summon Altergeist Meluseek!" A purple skinned demon which was shaped like a mermaid appeared.
Altergeist Meluseek ATK: 500 DEF: 300 Water/Spellcaster/LVL 1
"And now Meluseek attacks… directly! Thanks to her effect!"
"What?!" Blue Girl said as Meluseek created a ball of blue energy and fired it at Blue Girl who fell to her D-Board due to the damage.
Blue Girl LP: 2900 – 2400
"Now when I inflict Battle Damage, Meluseek can destroy a card! Be gone Blue Sage!" Blue Sage was destroyed and Blue Girl was now feeling the pressure Ghost Girl was building, her turn had now ended.
"So you know this girl then?" Aqua to said Blue Girl in her mind, the two shared a link after Aqua gave her the power to use Storm Access.
"She's Emma, from earlier."
"Really? So why do you hate her then?"
"I don't hate her." Blue Girl replied. "She is just trying to replace Akira."
"Is she really replacing your brother?"
"Of course she is! He's my brother… not that you would understand such a concept." Blue Girl replied.
"Well…. there are only six Ignis…. I know the sensation of having a family…." Aqua said.
"Not the same, now be quiet."
"Maybe you shouldn't hate her, maybe she is with you because she doesn't want you to be alone." Aqua said.
"You know nothing of me." Blue Girl replied.
"I know but you need to concentrate if we need to win this duel."
"I would if you let me!"
Turn 6
Ghost Girl LP: 3700 Hand: 1
Blue Girl LP: 2400 Hand: 1
"I draw!"
"Wait a minute as I now play another Trap! Call of the Haunted returns Primabansee!" Primabansee returned to Ghost Girl central Main Monster Zone.
Altergeist Primebanshee ATK: 2300 Dark/Spellcaster/Link/LINK-3/Down, Right, Bottom Right
"Next I use my other set card! The Continuous Altergeist Camouflage!"
"I really should have put a Twin Twisters in this deck or something…." Blue Girl said to herself.
"My databanks show that you have never played that card." Aqua replied.
"That AI is quite something… apparently it has free-will? I don't really understand all that technobabble but if my client is willing to pay me this much…. it must be something worthy of capturing." Ghost Girl said. "Anyway Camouflage equips itself to Primebanshee! You cannot target her for attacks but that does mean you can attack me directly as a cost."
"A direct attack?! What a bad move!" Aqua said.
"Don't underestimate her." Blue Girl said. "She will have something up her sleeves."
"Up her sleeves? So she's cheating?"
"It's an expression…. I summon Larkspur Knight!"
Larkspur Knight ATK: 1900 DEF: 0 Light/Cyberse/LVL 4
"When Larkspur is summoned I can draw two cards and send one to the graveyard." Aoi added the cards to her hand while she sent one of them to the grave. "Now I shall Link Summon! My Monster needs two Cyberse Monsters, Go Larkspur and Ivy!" Both shot into the Link circuit. "Appear LINK-2, Rose Gladiator!" A bulky knight in orange amour appeared. It had a red blade with a shield with a rose pattern carved within. It was summoned to Blue Girl's left hand EMZ.
Rose Gladiator ATK: 1900 Light/Cyberse/Link/LINK-2/Bottom Left, Bottom Right
"Her effect allows me to pay 1000 lifepoints to return another Cyberse Link Monster to one of her arrows! Return Ivy!" Blue Girl felt pain as she paid up lifepoints.
Blue Girl LP: 2400 – 1400
"Since Ivy's effect allows her to destroy a Spell or Trap if she points to… or if she is in another Link Monster's zone which it points it! Destroy Altergeist Manifestation!"
"Flexible Monster, but it won't work! You forgot about Altergeist Protocol!" Ghost Girl said smugly.
"What?!"
"By sending Meluseek to the graveyard, Ivy's effect is negated and she is destroyed!"
"Damnit!" Blue Girl said. "….. As if I would have forgotten about that!"
"What?! You meant for me to do that?" Ghost Girl added.
"I end my turn with a face down.
"Did you really mean for that to happen?" Aqua said.
"Just watch."
"You didn't attack… whatever you're up to it won't work!" Ghost Girl replied as she prepared to draw.
Turn 7
Ghost Girl LP: 3700 Hand: 1
Blue Girl LP: 1400 Hand: 2
"Draw! I summon another Altergeist Meluseek!"
Altergeist Meluseek ATK: 500 DEF: 300 Water/Spellcaster/LVL 1
"Now I set my final card in my hand! Now Meluseek attack her directly!"
"That won't work! Rose Gladiator's effect makes all battle damage I take… goes to you and you cannot activate any effects in response to this!"
"What?!" Meluseek turned around and hit Ghost Girl instead.
Ghost Girl LP: 3700 – 3200
"And since Meluseek's effect only works when battle damage is given to Blue Girl… you cannot destroy one of our cards!" Aqua added.
"Now I use my Trap!" Blue Girl said. "Garden Burn allows me to pay 1000 lifepoints and I can destroy a card you control!"
Blue Girl LP: 1400 – 400
"I take out Protocol!" Ghost Girl's Trap was destroyed as she looked on the edge for the first time.
"No… she's under 1000 lifepoints! I… end my turn!"
Turn 8
Ghost Girl LP: 3200 Hand: 0
Blue Girl LP: 400 Hand: 2
"Now… it's time for me to win this! I draw!"
"Do it Blue Girl!" Aqua yelled.
""Let's do it!" Blue yelled as Aoi begun to see data streams and codes as her eye changed to halve blue and yellow. LINK VRAINS had changed to show a deeper look of the network. Deep within LINK VRAINS, strong data storms brewed.
"So she does really vanish." Ghost Girl said as Blue Girl flew into the data storm.
"I need to do this!" Blue Girl's outfit lit up as she forced her hand into the storm. He grabbed a card and quickly shot out of the wind. She quickly reappeared in front of Emma.
"What on earth are you planning?" Ghost Girl said.
"Watch! I summon Fern Strike Knight!" It was a black knight with weeds around its sword.
Fern Strike Knight ATK: 800 DEF: 300 Dark/Cyberse/LVL 3
"Now… circuit open!" LINK-2 Rose Gladiator shot into the circuit as two materials while Fern went in as one. "Burning from the depths of the Cyberse, power up my field and be the flames of justice! I Link Summon Plus-Code: Franxinela!"
A ball of flame emerged as a robotic figure emerged. It had red amour with white legs, it had three golden spikes on its face while it had red wings which were on fire.
Plus-Code: Franxinela ATK: 2300 Fire/Cyberse/Link/LINK-3/Left, Down, Top Right
"Franxinela gains 300 attack for each Spell and Trap on the field!" Aqua said.
"300?!"
"Yes and since you have three cards, my Monster gains 900!"
Franxinela ATK: 3200
"I still have a Trap!" Ghost Girl replied. "I play Personal Spoofing which allows me to shuffle Camouflage back to my deck and I can add anotherAltergeist instead!I add Altergeist Kunquery!"
"Then Franxinela will lose 300 attack."Aqua stated.
Franxinela ATK: 2900
"You thought I would allow you to attack me directly?" Ghost Girl said.
"Of course not! I planned on getting under 1000 lifepoints… and I'm ready for anything you've got! Franxinela targets a Monster it points to and you take damage equal it that Monster's attack! I take out your Primebanshee!"
"Fine!" Primebanshee was destroyed in an instance.
Ghost Girl LP: 3200 – 900
"I can add an Altergeist Card from my graveyard which she's destroyed, I add Meluseek!"
"She's confident! She has a plan!" Aqua said.
"Let her bring it! I play the Equip Spell Cyberse Energy! Now direct attack!" Blue Girl commanded as Franxinela created a sword out of pure flames. It launched towards Ghost Girl.
"I play Altergeist Kunquery's effect from my hand! I summon her in defence when you attack! It negates the attack!" A robotic white horse emerged with a red tail. It had the same demon face as the other cards of Ghost Girl.
Altergeist Kunquery ATK: 0 DEF: 2400 Earth/Spellcaster/LVL 5
"Thankfully I used Cyberse Energy as an Equip Spell! The Monster equipped can attack again and deal piercing damage! Also by paying halve of my lifepoints, your Monster loses 400 attack and defence for each Link Marker Franxinela has!"
Blue Girl LP: 400 – 200
"If Kunquery is Special Summoned she can negate a card effect on the field while she is on the field! Your Equip is useless!" Blue Girl's card turned grey.
"No!" Aqua said but Blue Girl smirked.
"I know you're a tricky opponent… but I'm one step ahead! I play the Quick-Play Spell Forbidden Chalice! I use it on Kunquery and it gains 400 attack but its effects are negated!"
Kunguery ATK: 400
"Which means my Equip Spell is free!" Blue Girl said as Ghost Girl was frozen by her opponents response.
Kugery ATK: 0 DEF: 1200
"End this with piercing damage Franxinela! Blazing Sword!" Franxinela slammed down onto Kunguery who exploded which sent Ghost Girl and her D-Board off the wind.
Ghost Girl LP: 900 – 0 Blue Girl Wins
"I got you!" Blue Girl created an energy whip which fired it at Ghost Girl who grabbed it.
A minute later Blue and Ghost Girl jumped off their D-Boards and onto a grassy park within LINK VRAINS.
"So you win… and I won't get my other half of the payment…. but you know this means I will come again for that Ignis." Ghost Girl said.
"Then I will beat you again." Blue Girl said as she begun to walk off.
"Just a minute… why do you look similar and have a name similar to Blue Angel?"
"Because she was someone who inspired me.. now she's gone… I'm what's left." Blue Girl logged out as Ghost Girl put her finger on her chin.
Morning After
Aoi walked out of her home as Aqua appeared as an eyeball from the duel disk which Aoi had on her wrist.
"So you're taking me?" Aqua said.
"I won't leave this duel disk home again; I need to keep it close if I need to login…"
"And you're raiding that warehouse tonight?"
"Yesterday wore me out… so yes, tonight. Do something useful for once and contact Playmaker and tell him." Aoi said. As Aoi spoke she heard a motorcycle. "Here we go again…." she sighed.
"Just try to get along with her… she won't be feeling great today either."
"I told you to butt out."
"And this is me butting in. Emma is a kind and caring person who isn't trying to replace your brother… maybe if you actually spoke to her… you might feel better!"
"What do you know about social interactions?"
"I was the second in command in the Cyberse World…. you really underestimate me. Trust me for once and do it!"
"I don't take orders from you."
"Fine then! You asked for it." Emma pulled over and took off her helmet.
"Hey Aoi." she said, Emma was looking down at the ground, slightly depressed from yesterday.
"Hello Emma, how are you." Aoi looked shocked, she heard her voice but she didn't say anything. She looked down at her duel disk as Aqua winked back at her.
"You sneaky…!" Aoi whispered to Aqua but Emma looked at Aoi.
"I'm good. Thanks for asking." Emma smiled back. "I'm sorry if I came across as annoying yesterday, I can understand I overstepped the mark. I know you're sixteen and you're basically an adult now. I should start treating you as such."
"Thanks… I guess I was a pain as well…." Aoi replied with her hand behind her head.
"You know… when your brother fell into his coma he asked me with his last few words to protect you, I guess he knew I needed you…"
"Huh? Why's that?" Aoi asked.
"Even though he's a client of mine… he's still one of my good friends… and ever since I met you and Akira three years ago, I guess he could tell that I put my business before my real life…"
