Day Seven
Once I got myself used to being stuck in this room for the time being, it turned out to not be the worst prison cell. On the plus side was definitely the shower, it felt like I hadn't took a shower for ages after I stepped out of it this morning. What was probably true, after all, I technically wasn't alive until six days ago.
Yesterdays revelation actually explained a lot about what the rebels were desperately trying to figure out while I was at their bunker. I don't recall any memories from before the pod because I don't have any. I could barely speak or eat when I first woke up at their place because it was the first time I actually did eat or speak. And I could create cards out of nowhere because the BRER influenced my genetics so I could.
While I slowly started to figure these things out this morning – granted as I had nothing else to do – I still couldn't get my thoughts of off BL2. No, Yoru. I don't want to be addressed by a code, so he certainly doesn't want to be as well. It was only fair to refer to him by his given name, even when it was given to him by someone like Director Abe.
After wandering in my hotel prison for a few hours, roughly until lunchtime judging from the sun that I could see from my window, someone opened the door again. I expected Director Abe, but it was a woman instead.
"Good Morning, B… ehm, I mean Yuro," she greeted me, "I brought you lunch."
The woman was dressed in a plain white work coat, white pants and simple white shoes. Her shoulder-long blonde hair was bound as a ponytail falling on her back. And she did indeed carry a tablet with noodles in her hand, while holding a suitcase in the other.
"My name is Doctor Ikeda," she said while putting the plate on the table. The woman waved her hand at one of the chairs, before sitting down on the other one.
Reluctantly, I sat down with her and started to eat, but my initial doubts about the food had been swept away in an instant when I realized how hungry I have been. I bolted down the noodles while the doctor watched patiently.
After I had finished, she quit her silence: "I'm glad you enjoyed the meal. It was barbaric to keep you starving since you came here and I thoroughly apologize for that. Be sure you'll get everything you need from now on. Is there anything else I could do for you?"
Get me out of here, I don't want anything else. But I guessed that was out of the picture. I was unsure on how far I could go with my wishes, so I decided to test the water a little at first: "Its really boring in here over time. Maybe a television or a PC, maybe a good book? Something along those lines."
Doctor Ikeda just chuckled as if she had already expected that: "I'll see what I can do."
She waited a few more moments, maybe she expected me to have more wishes, before she continued: "What I'm here for today is to prepare you for today's test of our Bloom Energy Machine, referred to as BEM in general."
She put the plate away and flung her suitcase on the table, before opening it up the way I couldn't see its insides.
"You're going to be facing our second prototype, Yoru in a duel. The goal of that duel is to Summon as many self-created Bloom Monsters as possible, to test out the capacity of the BEM."
"And Yoru is… is he just like me?" I eventually asked one of the questions that had bugged me ever since the director left yesterday.
Oddly, Doctor Ikeda seemed to contemplate her answer for a few moments: "Well… yes and no. In your basic premise, you are both exactly the same. We had that human foetus with the maximum Card Manipulation gene and we artificially made it split, effectively making you and Yoru twins. You were then bred and raised in a pod. But from there on, you both take different routes, because we wanted to experiment with a different upbringing for both of you. You were raised in our projection of an everyday family. You gained personality, wishes, desires, learnt your own life lessons. Despite all, I was glad that it was you who was kidnapped by the rebels and not Yoru because it helped shaping your sense of self further."
I tried to make no heed out of that I was displeased with what she was saying. Experimenting with me and my twin brother and calling those who came to rescue us kidnappers. This woman was the epitome of what the rebels were fighting.
"Yet Yoru," it seemed she slowly got used to using real names instead of code words for us, "was raised in a blank state, eternal sleep if you will. We influenced his brain with what he'd need to survive, as that you need to eat and drink to survive as well our language, as well as the rules of Duel Monsters to prepare him for his purpose, but we completely kept him shut away from any human contact. Yesterday was the first time he was conscious. He's effectively a blank slate, that has yet to be written on."
If I thought that I had been disgusted by this woman so far, she had now surpassed all my expectations: "So you robbed him of years of his childhood and adolescence? And now you're just waking him up to 'save the world'? Compared to that, your treatment of me has been the opposite of barbaric."
"I'm not going to discuss morality with you, Yuro," Doctor Ikeda quickly said, "I told you just because you asked for it."
"Either way," the woman continued, "we want you to duel Yoru today. Because the goal is not winning but summoning as many Bloom Monsters as possible, we'd like to help you in that account."
She turned the suitcase around so I could see what it contained. It was filled with stacks of various different cards, many of them I had never seen before.
"You can use any of those to improve your deck. Bear in mind that we're making the same offer to Yoru as well, so you're better off accepting it."
With these words she got up from the chair and took the empty plate with her: "I'll see you again in an hour or two, please get ready until then."
After saying that, Doctor Ikeda left me alone again.
One could say I was dumbfounded by the sudden generosity of the BRER and I would put those cards to good use, if I'd ever get out of here.
I spend the next hour rebuilding my deck with the cards from the suitcase, before focusing myself on the twelve blank cards I had left. They hadn't given me new ones, maybe because they assumed that I hadn't shaped any yet. I also didn't believe that I would summon twelve Bloom Monsters during this next duel, so that probably was fine anyway.
What the director had told me yesterday however got me thinking. He said that people were able to shape cards with their life energy, but whenever he was talking to me he specifically referred to Bloom Monsters. That might be the most practical one, Bloom Monsters are always accessible as long as you have a Seedling with a fulfilled Bloom condition. But… could I theoretically do with other cards as well? As Doctor Ikeda said, the duel was not about winning, so I decided to do my own little experiments and placed one of the blank cards in my Main Deck. If I could shape it to a game-changing card, it was good and if not, it was simply a dead draw.
About half an hour later, the doctor reappeared and led me out of my room. It was mildly surprised that the hotel prison seemed to belong to the BRER building. At least the hallways looked exactly like the ones Minori and the others passed through with me on our way to retrieve my patient file.
We followed the hallways until we eventually ended up in a small duel arena, with one field being present and a catwalk above our heads, lots of people with coats just as Doctor Ikeda watching us.
"You need to strap these on," the woman next to me suddenly said, carrying two bracelets that were connected to the floor via a wire, "it captures the Bloom energy and transmits it to the BEM."
After I had put the first one on my wrist, a door on the opposite side of the arena opened, revealing another boy guided by two doctors.
Yoru. My brother, if one could call us this way.
He looked exactly the same as I did, the same hair, the same face, they even gave us the same clothes to wear. The only thing that differentiated us and that kept me from crying out to him as soon as I first saw him were his eyes.
They look dull and emotionless. He was simply staring ahead, without looking at anything, like he was still asleep. He gave no reaction whatsoever to the doctors hooking him to the same machine as me and putting his Duel Disk on him. He looked like a machine, barely conscious, create for the sole purpose of duelling.
I eventually couldn't stand his eyes any longer, so I turned to Doctor Ikeda: "How can you look at him and tell yourself you're a good person?"
The woman next to me didn't respond to my question, instead she said: "Just focus on the duel. And think about the greater good."
All the doctors eventually left the field to the catwalk, before starting up the duel software.
Yoru: 4000 LP
Yuro: 4000 LP
Without any prompting, Yoru started the duel with his turn.
"Because I control no monsters, I Special Summon 'Dormant Worm Sweeper' from my hand." He spoke those words as emotionless and monotone as I ever heard anybody talk, before the ground in front of him started to bulge when a small worm that seemed to be made of lava appeared in front of him.
Dormant Worm Sweeper: FIRE / Rock-Type / Seedling / Level 1 / 100 ATK / 100 DEF
"While I control a face-up 'Dormant Worm', I can Special Summon 'Dormant Worm Crawler' from my hand." Another worm made of lava appeared, this time bearing small bumps on his body.
Dormant Worm Crawler: FIRE / Rock-Type / Seedling / Level 3 / 1500 ATK / 900 DEF
"I let my 'Dormant Worm Sweeper' blossom as I control another FIRE Monster. Bloom Summon." The first card he had summoned was enveloped in a red cocoon, before shifting its colour to yellow after a few seconds. "Appear, 'Saint Shield Gardna'."
The monster that appeared in front of him was a slender human male in golden armor, carrying an oversized star-shaped shield.
Saint Shield Gardna: LIGHT / Warrior-Type / Bloom / Level 8 / 0 ATK / 3000 DEF
"I let my 'Dormant Worm Crawler' blossom as I control a face-up Bloom Monster. Bloom Summon." The second one of his Seedlings was encapsulated by the same cocoon, this time changing colour to blue. "Appear, 'Marine Protector'."
The second Bloom Monster he summoned resembled a merman with purple, scaly skin and long blue hair. Instead of hands, it carried the two halves of a round, blue coloured shield.
Marine Protector: WATER / Aqua-Type / Bloom / Level 2 / 0 ATK / 1200 DEF
"Then I set one card before Normal Summoning 'Dormant Worm Burier'." His new monster didn't take to the ground, the only sign of its presence was a red, headed spot in front of Yoru where it was buried.
Dormant Worm Burier: FIRE / Rock-Type / Seedling / Level 2 / 900 ATK / 0 DEF
"I let Dormant Worm Burier blossom as it is the only Dormant Worm monster I control." Yoru wasted no time, as soon as his monster had materialized, a red cocoon formed over the spot where it seemed to be, changing colour to orange. "Bloom Summon. Appear, 'Fortress Wall'."
His third monster had the appearance of a large wall with two watchtowers on top of it to resemble horns of sorts, a walkway that resembled a mouth and embrasures for eyes.
Fortress Wall: EARTH / Rock-Type / Bloom / Level 7 / 0 ATK / 2800 DEF
"I end my turn."
I was really impressed by Yorus duelling, even when he was acting like an automaton. It was fast and efficient, building up a defence that I would have trouble getting past.
"I draw!" I declared and added the card to my hand, before taking another one out of it.
"I activate the Spell Card 'Gathering Current'!" With it, I can add a Skyghost from my deck to my hand, like 'Skyghost Moorei'." My duel disk spat the card out before I added it to my hand, "Next, the effect of 'Skyghost Parakeet' activates, as it was in my hand when a 'Current' Spell Card was activated. It allows me to Special Summon it." The monster that took my side of the field was a small green bird with a yellow head.
Skyghost Parakeet: WIND / Winged Beast-Type / Seedling / Level 4 / 1200 ATK / 1200 DEF
"Then I Normal Summon 'Skyghost Moorei'!" The image that appeared in front of me resembled an eagle with brown feathers.
Skyghost Moorei: WIND / Winged Beast-Type / Seedling / Level 4 / 1700 ATK / 1000 DEF
"I immediately use Mooreis effect, I shuffle 'Gathering Current' from my Graveyard into my deck to draw a card and if it is a Skyghost Monster, I can Special Summon it." I did as I told I would and the card I drew turned out to be 'Skyghost Laysan', which I immediately Special Summoned. The monster that appeared following the cards placing on my duel disk was a tiny bird with brown feathers, that despite possessing small wings stood on the ground on its thin but look feet.
Skyghost Laysan: WIND / Winged Beast-Type / Seedling / Level 1 / 500 ATK / 900 DEF
And now, the field was set up for me to Bloom Summon.
I took out one of the blank cards from my Extra Deck and contemplated for a second. The director said I could create cards by my will, even though I had only done it subconsciously until now. So, what did I need to get past Yorus wall of defence? High ATK, but his monsters presumably had some protection against that. Burn damage was another option, but if he creates an impenetrable wall himself, he wouldn't leave such a gaping hole. Now, there was one weakness remaining: Direct attacks.
"I let Skyghost Moorei blossom as I successfully resolved a 'Current' Spell card this turn! Bloom Summon!" Moorei was obscured by a green cocoon, which then changed colour to orange. "Arise, 'Limit Accel Catapult'!" The Bloom Monster I summoned was a green coloured aircraft that resembled a flying flattop, with two cannons visible on the machines front.
Limit Accel Catapult: EARTH / Machine-Type / Bloom / Level 4 / 1400 ATK / 1800 DEF
The device on my arm glowed when the Bloom Monsters was Summoned, before redirecting the energy it seemed to create along its wire.
Well, now I had a means of direct attacking, now I just needed a monster to pull it off. All it had to do was to be capable of doing enough damage to win this duel this instant.
"I let Skyghost Parakeet blossom as it was Special Summoned by its own effect!" The green bird in front of me was enveloped by a green cocoon, which did not change colour this time. "Bloom Summon! Come out, 'Origartana'!" As the cocoon disappeared, my newly Summoned Monster appeared in its stead, looking like a human made from paper, carrying a slim paper blade in its right hand.
Origartana: WIND / Warrior-Type / Bloom / Level 6 / 2000 ATK / 1500 DEF
Now I had one more Seedling left that had its Bloom condition fulfilled. I could Summon a second monster like Origartana, but, I wanted to test something out. The limits, the director has been talking about. How strong could a card I create possibly be? As I pulled the next blank card out of my pocket, I tried to focus on it as much as I could.
"I let Skyghost Laysan blossom as I have a Skyghost monster in my Graveyard! Bloom Summon!" The tiny bird was encapsulated by another green cocoon, that changed colour to red. "Appear! 'Prehistoric King Tyrannus'!" The cocoon grew rapidly this time before vanishing, revealing a large Tyrannosaurus Rex, with lava dripping from its gaping mouth, fangs like blades inside.
Prehistoric King Tyrannus: FIRE / Dinosaur-Type / Bloom / Level 12 / 5000 ATK / 5000 DEF
I was trying to catch my breath. I felt like I had just come back from a three miles run, while I hadn't moved in any way. It seemed to be true what the director had said, the more energy, the more powerful…
My thoughts died out immediately when I saw the effect of the card I had created. Cannot attack directly, loses 2000 ATK after battle…. Restrictions, nothing but restriction! So while I had a really powerful monster in terms of Level and ATK, it was basically useless in any other way.
Yet it inflicted piercing damage upon battling… That might come in handy.
"I move to the Battle Phase," I declared, "and use the effect of 'Linear Accel Catapult'! It cannot attack itself, but all of my other monsters can attack you directly! Origartana, direct attack!"
The paper warrior readied its blades and darted towards Yoru, only to be stopped by Saint Shield Gardna.
"I can reduce the DEF of Saint Shield Gardna by any amount to reduce Battle Damage I would take by the same amount," Yoru intervened with the same monotone voice as before.
Saint Shield Gardna: 3000 DEF → 1000 DEF
"Good move, but Origartana can attack you twice per turn! Come on, second direct attack!" The warrior who had just returned to its position in front of me again darted forwards. It once again crashed into the star-shaped wing, but only lost a bit of its velocity before crashing into Yoru.
Saint Shield Gardna: 1000 DEF → 0 DEF
Yoru: 4000 LP → 3000 LP
The boy on the other side of the field, who was pushed to the ground by the force of the attack, slowly got to his feet again, coughing.
I almost wanted to ask if he was alright, but I presumed I wouldn't get a real answer considering how focused on the duel he has been so far.
"Tyrannus, battle, attack Saint Shield Gardna," I instead ordered my strongest monster to attack.
"I activate the effect of Marine Protector!" Yoru intervened, "If another monster is targeted for an attack, I can move the target to Marine Protector instead!"
The large dinosaur turned its head slightly so it faced the merman instead of the shield-bearing warrior, before firing a large ball of fire, which completely annihilated the opposing monster.
"When Marine Protector is destroyed, I can target one of my monsters and have its DEF become equal to double of its original DEF," he seemed to have chosen Saint Shield Gardna as the target, as that one was enveloped by a blue aura.
Saint Shield Gardna: 0 DEF → 6000 DEF
"But… the piercing damage!" I protested, "when Tyrannus attacks, it inflicts piercing damage!"
"It did indeed inflict piercing damage," Yoru responded before pointing towards Fortress Wall, "but my third monster can nullify one instance of damage per turn and gain that much DEF instead."
Fortress Wall: 2800 DEF → 6600 DEF
Well, therefore my Battle Phase was over, signalled by the effect of Tyrannus activating, lowering its ATK as it battled this turn.
Prehistoric King Tyrannus: 5000 ATK → 3000 ATK
All I was able to do this turn was put a small dent into Yorus Life Points, while he instead was able to strengthen his two leftover monsters even more than they were before.
"I end my turn," I eventually said, allowing Yoru to take over.
"Draw," he said, before picking a card from his hand. "I activate the Spell Card 'Lurking Danger'. With it, I can revive one Dormant Worm from my Graveyard. I choose 'Dormant Worm Crawler'!" The monster that he had already used once in this duel again took to the field.
Dormant Worm Crawler: FIRE / Rock-Type / Seedling / Level 3 / 1500 ATK / 900 DEF
"I immediately let 'Dormant Worm Crawler' blossom as I control a face-up Bloom Monster! Bloom Summon!" The cocoon appeared again wrapping itself around the red worm. "Appear! Karizaku the Hideout Shooter!" The monster that emerged from the cocoon was a humanoid male with, hiding behind a small wooden shield, pointing a gun at me.
Karizaku the Hideout Shooter: FIRE / Warrior-Type / Bloom / Level 6 / 300 ATK / 1800 DEF
"Karizakus effect activates upon being Bloom Summoned, letting me revive Marine Protector from my Graveyard." The man shot onto the ground twice, where a Graveyard portal opened afterwards out of which the merman with the blue shield emerged.
Marine Protector: WATER / Aqua-Type / Bloom / Level 2 / 0 ATK / 1200 DEF
"Next up, I'll use his second effect! For giving up my Battle Phase, I can damage you equal to his ATK times the number of Defense Position Monsters I control!" Karizaku redirected his gun, pointing it at me and firing four shots through my monsters and straight onto me. While the damage was minor in comparison, the shots hurt so badly I fell onto one knee.
Yuro: 4000 LP → 2800 LP
"That's it already. Your turn again."
After I had drawn my card, I quickly evaluated my situation. Things had gone from bad to worse rather quickly. Now Yoru had not only rebuilt his stunning defence, but he also figured out a way to damage me along the way.
At that point my eyes focused on the Spell Card I had drawn, as it was one of those from the suitcase. "I activate 'Bloom Whirl'! It lets me return a Bloom Monster I control to the Extra Deck to Special Summon a Bloom Monster with the same Level but a different name." The cocoon Limit Accel Catapult had emerged from formed again around the aircraft.
I pulled the next blank card from my Extra Deck and this time I focused on overcoming Yorus defence. Not immediately winning, not destroying one specific monster, not summoning an insanely powerful monster.
"Bloom Summon! Supersonic Epee!" The monster that emerged from the turned brown cocoon was rather odd-looking. Standing on two human feet with a human torso, it had just one arm which held a golden rapier, no other body features were present on its body.
Supersonic Epee: EARTH / Psychic-Type / Bloom / Level 4 / 1800 ATK / 1500 DEF
This should work.
"Supersonic Epee, attack Marine Protector!" The figure darted forward, piercing through the mermans shield with its weapon.
"Whenever Supersonic Epee destroys a monster by battle, it is banished instead of being sent to the Graveyard," I said, while Yorus monster faded into light particles.
"That still triggers its effect! I choose to have Karizakus DEF become double of its original DEF!" Yoru intervened, when the gunman was enveloped by the same blue aura as his other monster was before.
Karizaku the Hideout Shooter: 1800 DEF → 3600 DEF
"The second effect of Epee activates, after it battled, I can banish another card you control! I choose Karizaku!" As soon as the blue aura had subsided, the gunman simply vanished from the field.
My other two monsters didn't nearly have enough ATK to get over any of Yorus other walls, but that was a matter for the next turn, so I passed over to Yoru at this point.
"During my Draw Phase, I activate the effect of 'Lurking Danger' in my Graveyard," he started, "instead of drawing, I can return it to my hand." His duel disk exited the card from the Graveyard, before he immediately inserted it again. "I use it once again to revive 'Dormant Worm Crawler'!"
Dormant Worm Crawler: FIRE / Rock-Type / Seedling / Level 3 / 1500 ATK / 900 DEF
"Then I let it blossom a third time as I control a Bloom Monster!" The monster that had barely been on the field disappeared behind the cocoon again, this time changing colour to purple. "Bloom Summon! Ready your fangs and tear down everything in my path! Battleclaw Wolf!" Yorus new monster was a black-furred bipedal wolf, with claws that were almost as long as the arms they were attached to. The only thing one could see in its red glowing eyes was blood lust.
Battleclaw Wolf: DARK / Beast Warrior-Type / Bloom / Level 6 / 2400 ATK / 2300 DEF
"Wolf, attack Supersonic Epee! Torn Claws!" The beast moved faster than my eyes could see, within a moments notice is was in reach of the strange figure that was my monster and all it took were a few slashes of its claws to reduce it to nothing but dust.
Yuro: 2800 LP → 2200 LP
"Now the effect of Wolf activates. After it battled, it will immediately destroy all monsters you control and inflict 500 Damage to you for each." Like a grey whirlwind, the wolf swept through my monsters, slicing all of them apart in the process.
Yuro: 2200 LP → 1200 LP
"I end my turn here," Yoru eventually said, leaving the field to me again, that had drastically shifted to my disadvantage.
"My turn, I draw!" My only chance right now was to Bloom Summon again and to create something strong enough to defeat Wolf.
"I Normal Summon 'Skyghost Dodo'!" The monster that appeared in front of me did, despite its title Skyghost, not fly, but stayed on the ground. It resembled a chubby bird with tiny wings.
Skyghost Dodo: WIND / Winged Beast-Type / Level 3 / 1400 ATK / 1000 DEF
"At this point, the second effect of Battleclaw Wolf activates!" Yoru intervened my turn, "You'll immediately take equal to the difference in ATK between the monster you just Summoned and the ATK of Wolf!" The beast disappeared from my opponents side of the field only to reappear next to me, using its claws to carve open my right arm, causing me to scream out loud.
Yuro: 1200 LP → 200 LP
"Because I have…," I struggled to keep going, "I have a Bloom Monster in my Graveyard, I let Dodo blossom!" The bird on the ground was captured by a green cocoon, before I reached out for a blank card from my Extra Deck. All that I needed right now was…
And while I still was contemplating, without any prompting from my end, the card in my hand started to change. I could feel the bracelets on my hands heating as they absorbed energy, but it didn't feel it was mine.
Whoever was creating this card, it wasn't me. But that one wanted me to Summon it.
"Bloom Summon!" I declared, "Appear behind your wings and reveal your face to this world! Stealth Scales Bloom Dragon!" When the green cocoon disappeared this time, it revealed nothing at first. However, after a few moments, one could see the air moving on the spot where the monster was supposed appear, as the dragon opened up its wings that had concealed it from eyesight. It revealed a lavender coloured serpentine body, bearing four wings, two large ones that blended everything behind it into the background, possibly making myself disappear partly from Yorus point of few, while the other two were significantly smaller, probably only assisting in flying. The dragon looked onto the field out of purple eyes, almost bearing something like an amused smile.
Stealth Scales Bloom Dragon: WIND / Dragon-Type / Bloom / Level 7 / 2500 ATK / 2000 DEF
When I looked up, I could see all the doctors as well as Yoru admire the card I just Summoned. Especially the doctors were probably amazed, as I could see all their instruments going haywire. They didn't expect such a strong monster to show up in this duel, and honestly I didn't either.
"When Stealth Scales is Bloom Summoned," I continued the duel, ignoring the shouting and the computer noises above my head, "it immediately banishes all monsters on the field and in the Graveyards that are Level 5 or higher, aside from itself." As I said that, my monster broadened its wings, absorbing all of Yorus three monsters as well as Origartana and Tyrannus from my Graveyard.
"Then, it will gain 100 ATK for each monster absorbed this way."
Stealth Scales Bloom Dragon: 2500 ATK → 3000 ATK
I could see the shock in Yorus face as he realized what was about to happen.
"Stealth Scales, attack him directly! Illusion Grenade!" The purple dragon with the large wings gathered energy at its mouth that took the form of a lavender sphere, which it launched towards Yoru who was blasted against the wall behind him as the force struck him.
Yoru: 3000 LP → 0 LP [LOSE]
After the Solid Vision cards had disappeared, everything went pretty fast, doctors swarmed the field and circled me and Yoru, leaving me unable to check if he was okay.
Eventually I was grabbed at the uninjured arm by Doctor Ikeda: "Let me escort you back to your room first."
On my way out, my eyes crossed with Yuros for just a matter of seconds. I could see a plethora of feelings dance in his once so dull eyes right now, yet I could make out which was the dominant one.
Fear? Love? Awe? Desire? Or… hatred?
