0713MM: Hey guys! I welcome you to Chapter 11 of my Yugioh VRAINS: The Deciding War fanfic! This is where things may (or may not, your personal preference) get extremely interesting! I don't own VRAINS, nor do I own its characters. However! I do own the OC Cards used by Queen and Revolver in this duel. (Yes; Queen vs. Revolver lol.) Chapter start!
Chapter 11
"What's going in with the Tower?!" Ai questioned, shocked.
"I thought it was unable to be used." Yusaku frowned.
"I thought so too." Ryoken frowned. "But it seems the Light and Wind Ignis knew of the other features that the Tower of Hanoi had. Including the Scan Function. By doing that duel between the Water Ignis and the Wind Ignis, the Light Ignis managed to open up Mirror Link VRAINS."
"So what do we do?" Aoi questioned.
"We go into Mirror Link VRAINS and stop them!" Takeru remarked as he pounded his right fist into his open left hands' palm..
"Are you certain that's wise?" Akira frowned.
"We don't have a choice, sadly." Aqua remarked as she closed her pink eyes, then reopened them. "If we don't go now, then who knows what Lightning and Windy will do."
"Well if we're going now, who is going?" Flame questioned. "Certainly not all of us."
"You're right, Fire Ignis." Ryoken remarked. "I already know who's going anyways."
"And who would those be?" Akira questioned. "I know you, Yusaku and Takeru are going."
"I'm going, of course." Spectre remarked with a sly smile on his face.
"As am I." Aoi revealed, surprising Akira and Emma. She glanced over at Glacies, then back at Ryoken, who nodded. "And Glacies too. Once we get her VRAINS Account information back from Queen of course."
"Zaizen and Emma will stay behind as a line of defense." Yusaku added.
"Followed up by Dr. Taki, Dr. Genome, and Aso." Ryoken remarked. "Plus Shoichi Kusanagi as another backup." Akira tsked at this, then he sighed; knowing argument was useless.
"As much as I despise this plan, it's our best option." Akira retorted with reluctance in his voice.
"Then let us be off." Ryoken spoke. He raised his left arm up. "Into the-!"
"Ryoken, wait!" Glacies called out to him. Ryoken stopped and lowered his left arm before glanced at the icy blue/snow white haired, icy blue/snow white eyed, pale-skinned female.
"Yes?" He questioned. Glacies pulled out a card from her deck and gave it to Ryoken, who took it. He observed it for a few seconds, then glanced back at her. "Harmonic Link Ritual? Why are you giving me this?"
"I figure it'll come in handy." Glacies replied coolly. Ryoken huffed, but put the card into his deck nonetheless.
"Now that's out of the way…" Ryoken mused as he raised his left arm up. He glanced between, Aoi, Takeru, Yusaku, and Spectre. "You guys ready?"
"Of course, Ryoken-sama." Spectre grinned.
"We can't turn back now considering how far we've come." Yusaku chimed in.
"Let's do this!" Takeru added. Aoi nodded in agreement at that. After that was said and done, Aoi, Ryoken, Spectre, Yusaku and Takeru raised their left arms upwards and shouted simultaneously:
"INTO THE VRAINS!"
They appeared in the location Aqua was in at her duel with Wendy; already seeing an entrance for Mirror Link VRAINS.
"So we just have to cross through." Ai said.
"Seems so." Playmaker replied. He glanced at the others before he jumped and his D-Board appeared underneath his feet. "Let's go!"
"Yeah!" Soulburner grinned as he too jumped and his D-Board appeared underneath his feet and began to follow Playmaker through the portal. Following that up with Spectre, Blue Girl and Revolver then going into the portal to Mirror Link VRAINS. And to the location where Lightning, Windy, along with their other allies were at.
"My oh my, what do we have here?" Windy spoke a bit sadistically as the holoscreen within Lightning's palace. "Looks like some unwanted guests." Lightning placed his right hand to his chin.
"Seems so." He mused. He then turned to face Queen, who had just arrived under his request. "Ah Queen; glad you could make it."
"You asked for my presence." Queen remarked coolly. "So here I am."
"I need you to duel Revolver." Lightning spoke plainly.
"Hoh?" Queen questioned. "Why's that?"
"As a distraction." Lightning replied. He then gestured to the holoscreen. "I don't need those fools dueling in that area." He paused before his eyes curved up to form that of a sinister smile. "Besides...I think Revolver needs to know the whole truth….. You know what I'm talking about, CEO of SOL Technologies, Queen." Queen tsked, then gestured to the controlled Blood Shepherd and controlled Juliette Kogami.
"Why not just have his own Mother duel him?" Queen inquired. "It would pull at his heart strings a lot, after all…."
"I thought about that." Lightning admitted as he glanced over at the controlled Juliette Kogami, then back at Queen. "But I realized that'd be too predictable. You know Revolver is quite intelligent."
"Yes I know." Queen griped.
"So go on." Windy pressed. "Don't just stand around, Queen. Our goals are the same in creating the Perfect Ignis!"
"Don't you order me around, Wind Ignis!" Queen snapped. "I'm the reason you exist in the first place!" Lightning sighed, then he had Jin step into between the CEO of SOL and Windy a/Echo.
"Save your jabbing at each other for later." Lightning told them. "Right now, we have a job to do." Both Windy and Queen tsked at Lightning's words, but said nothing in response and turned back to face the holoscreen. After a few moments, Queen spoke.
"Alright Lightning. I'll go and duel Revolver." Queen spoke in finality. Her lips then formed a dark/sadistic smile. "And don't worry…..I'll tell him that….truth you want him to know…" Lightning nodded and watched Queen vanish from the room.
"We're here guys!" Ai called out to them as the group of 5 made it through the portal and into Mirror Link VRAINS.
"It's quite the sight." Blue Girl noted as she observed Mirror Link VRAINS.
"Well, Lightning, Wndy, and Queen did create this place." Playmaker remarked. "So it wouldn't surprise me if they have several traps set up for us."
"When is that not ever the case?" Soulburner remarked in a joking mannerism.
"HALT!" The group of 5 glanced and noticed several Bit and Boots approaching them. At this, Revolver and Spectre rolled their eyes.
"Oh look, the trash arrived." Revolver remarked coolly.
"Let's take the trash out!" Spectre smirked as he readied his duel disk. Playmaker, Soulburner, and Blue Girl glanced at each other, then nodded and followed in Revolver and Spectre's footsteps.
"DUEL!" The group of 5 declared to the army of Bit and Boots.
"Borreload Dragon attack!" Revolver yelled. His dragon launched the blast at the last Bit/Boot as it disappeared and Borreload Dragon also disappeared. "That seems to be the last one." He frowned.
"REVOLVER!" Revolver turned to see that Queen was the one who yelled his name.
"What is it, Queen?" Revolver questioned.
"You know why I'm here." Queen remarked coolly.
"You're here to stop me, right?" Revolver inquired. "Humph! You know how to do that!"
"I do!" Queen remarked. "A duel! Once I win, you'll be able to join your dead Father!" Queen then raised her right index finger to her right eye and did a fake tear motion. "A happy reunion indeed! He heh heh…" Revolver grit his teeth at that, then he smiled; thus confusing the SOL Technologies CEO.
"I'm following my own path." Revolver retorted. "It's all thanks to my Mother." At the mention of Juliette Kogami, Queen frowned for a second or 2, then her frown turned into a dark smile regarding Revolver's words.
"You know your Mother's fate." Queen replied evenly. "She is a slave to Lightning and Windy."
"I know." Revolver replied. He then raised his right index finger and pointed it at Queen. "Lightning's plan shall end soon enough! And it all starts with your loss!"
"Hoh?" Queen wondered. "You think you have enough dueling prowess to stand up to me?"
"I do." Revolver remarked. "And I'll use all my strength to defeat you!"
"We shall see, Ryoken!" Queen shot back.
"SPEED DUEL!" Both declared.
"I'll start!" Queen declared as she waved her right hand to reveal her 4 card hand. "I'll start by activating the Continuous Spell card, Sicilian Defense! With this, I reveal the Level 2 Tuner monster, Chessboard Avatar - Black Pawn in order to draw twice more!" Revolver observed as she did this. Once she revealed the monster, she drew 2 more cards. She then pressed the Black Pawn card. "Next I Normal Summon Chessboard Avatar - Black Pawn!" The small black pawn emerged onto Queen's field. (Chessboard Avatar - Black Pawn, attribute: DARK, type: Warrior/Tuner, Level 2, ATK/DEF: 1300/800. Queen/Revolver's hand: 4 cards. Queen/Revolver's LP: 4000.) She then thrusted her right hand forward. "Black Pawn's effect! I Special Summon Chessboard Avatar - Black Knight from my hand! But why stop at 1 Black Knight when I can have 2!" 2 Black Knight emerged out of the ground to be on either side of Black Pawn. (Chessboard Avatar - Black Knight x2, attribute: DARK, type: Warrior, Level 4, ATK/DEF: 1800/1600. Queen's hand: 2 cards. Revolver's hand:4 cards. Queen/Revolver's LP: 4000.) Before Queen could speak Pawn's effect, Revolver interjected.
"If you're a Chess Grandmaster, why is that I can read you from a mile away?" Revolver scoffed. Queen tsked at his supposedly insult, but paid the 200 LP to increase of the Knight's Level's by 2.
"Just for your supposed insult, I'm tuning Level 2 Black Pawn with my Level 6 Black Knight and my Level 4 Black Knight!" All 3 monsters turned into dark data material and flew into the now forming 12 blue rings. "Synchro Summon! Descend now! Level 12! Chessboard Avatar - Black King!" The massive black chess piece emerged onto Revolver's field.
"Humph! Its effect doesn't activate because I have no cards on my field aside from it!" Revolver chuckled. Queen smirked before pressing 1 card in her hand and it set itself.
"Perhaps… But I don't personally care." Queen remarked. "I end my turn! It's your turn, Revolver!" Revolver observed the field before placing his right hand on top of his deck; thus about to draw.
"My turn, draw!" Revolver declared as he did so. (Queen's hand: 1 card. Revolver's hand:5 cards. Queen's LP: 3800. Revolver's LP: 4000.) As soon as he drew a card however… "Gah!" Revolver gasped out as his body fizzled blue before fading away. "What's the meaning of this?!"
"Hahaha! Chessboard Avatar - Black King's effect!" Queen revealed with a dark smile present on her face. "See, during each of your Draw Phases, you take 800 points of damage."
"Tsk…!" Revolver grunted. "So you plan to widdle my LP down I see…"
"Correct!" Queen sneered. "So the moment I Synchro Summoned Chessboard Avatar - Black King to your field, you gained a countdown in form of turns! Which means on it being Summoned to your field, you had 5 of your turns to left in the duel! Now it's 4!"
"...You think I'm scared because of this countdown you set up?" Revolver remarked, unimpressed.
"Hoh?" Queen inquired.
"I Special Summon Burning Dragon to your field since I control more monsters than you!" Revolver revealed as he placed the card onto his duel disk.
"My field?" Queen questioned as the flaming dragon emerged onto her field in Defense Position. (Burning Dragon, attribute: DARK, type: Dragon, Level 7, ATK/DEF: 2200/2800. Queen's hand: 1 card. Revolver's hand: 4 cards. Queen's LP: 3800. Revolver's LP: 3200.) Revolver thrusted his right hand forward.
"Burning Dragon's effect!" Revolver declared. "When I Normal or Special Summon it, I can add Dragon monsters from either my Deck or Graveyard to my hand up to the number of monsters on the field. Since there's 2, I add 2 Dragons to my hand!" 2 cards ejected out of his Deck and he added the cards to his hand. Revolver then pulled another card and revealed it. Upon seeing it, Queen tsked. At that, Revolver smirked. "So you know what I plan to do with my Creature Swap."
"Of course." Queen scowled. "You plan to swap our monsters. It's not that hard to figure out."
"Perhaps." Revolver remarked. "But now that Burning Dragon is now mine once again, I use its 2nd effect! I Tribute itself in order to Special Summon Gateway Dragon and Sniffer Dragon!"
"So those were the Dragons you added to your hand from your Deck via giving me Burning Dragon…." Queen mused. Her lips then formed a sly smile. "Not bad, Ryoken Kogami…" Both dragons emerged onto Revolver's field. One had 3 gates on its chest, and the other was a red-scaled dragon. (Gateway Dragon, DARK Level 4 Dragon-type monster, ATK/DEF: 1600/1400. Sniffer Dragon, DARK Level 2 Dragon-type monster, ATK/DEF: 800/400. Queen's hand: 1 card. Revolver's hand: 3 cards. Queen's LP: 3800. Revolver's LP: 3200.)
"Sniffer Dragon effect!" Revolver spoke. "If it's Normal or Special Summoned, I can add another copy of itself from my Deck to my hand." Another card ejected from Revolver deck and he added it to his hand. "But it's not staying in my hand for long, because I'm Summoning it!" The 2nd Sniffer Dragon emerged onto the field. Revolver then pulled another card out of his hand and revealed it. "Next up, I use Gateway Dragon's effect to Special Summon Hibernation Dragon from my hand!" The gates on Gateway Dragon opened up and out came the purple dragon. (Hibernation Dragon, DARK Level 3 Dragon-type monster, ATK/DEF: 600 / 1500. Queen's hand: 1 card. Revolver's hand: 2 cards. Queen's LP: 3800. Revolver's LP: 3200.)
"Tsk…" Queen grunted upon seeing the 4 monsters. "Now he can Link Summon a Link 4 monsters…"
"Correct!" Revolver grinned as he raised his right arm upwards. "Manifest! The future circuit that lights up my path!" The dark blue circuit appeared. "Arrowheads confirmed. The Summoning Conditions are at least 3 Effect Monsters! I set Hibernation, 2 Sniffer Dragon, and Gateway Dragon into the Link Markers!" The 4 dragons turned into 4 dark streams of wind and soared into 4 Link Markers. The Top, Left, Bottom-Left, and Bottom Link Markers to be accurate. "Link Summon! Link 4! Appear now, Borrelsword Dragon!" Out of the circuit came forth the electric winged, dark blue armored dragon with a sword-like blade on the top of its head. (Borrelsword Dragon, attribute: DARK, type: Dragon/Link, Link Rating: 4, Link Arrows: T/L/BL/B. ATK: 3000. Queen's hand: 1 card. Revolver's hand: 2 cards. Queen's LP: 3800. Revolver's LP: 3200.)
"Borrelsword Dragon…." Queen mused. "One of your many powerful Link 4 monsters…" Her lips formed a sly smile. "And it's perfect for this situation, is it not?"
"It is." Revolver agreed before he played Pot of Greed and enabled to draw 2 more cards. He observed the 2 cards he just drew before setting them. He then thrusted his right hand forward. "Battle! Borrelsword Dragon, attack Chessboard Avatar - Black King!"The dragon then charged towards the black king. Just as it did, Revolver swung his right arm from left to right. "Borrelsword Dragon effect! I switch Black King to Defense Position!" The Black King took a knee. "Now for Borrelsword Dragon's 2nd effect! He gains half your Black King's ATK for itself! Also, it halves the ATK of your Black King!" Borrelsword Dragon glowed red as its ATK rose to 5000.
"Rargh!" Queen growled as she watched her monster get weakened. However, her gnashing of her teeth into a dark smile. "Fool! Had you not switched my monster into DEF Mode, I would be taking 3000 damage! Now I'm taking no damage!"
"Are you sure about that?" Revolver remarked, a smile upon his lips; thus confusing Queen and she frowned at his words.
"What?" Revolver revealed the last card in his hand, and Queen gasped upon seeing it.
"I activate the Quick-Play Spell card, Charging Bullet!" Revolver declared. "With this, I target my Borrelsword, and this turn, he can inflict piercing battle damage!"
"Impossible!" Queen growled.
"Too bad!" Revolver smirked. "Now take this!" Borrelsword slashed right through Black King and destroyed it.
"Gah!" Queen cried out as her D-Board got pushed backwards and her body fizzled blue for a brief moment before it vanished. (Queen's LP: 3800 - 1000 = 2800.) Revolver clenched his right hand into a fist and it thrusted it forward.
"Now your Black King deals you 4000 damage since it was removed from the field!" Revolver grinned. A black orb appeared above Queen. She then put her hands to her head.
"No! This cannot be!" Queen cried out. The black orb came ever so closer, but then…
"Just kidding!" Queen sneered. "I activate Sicilian Defense's additional effect! By sending it to the Graveyard, I take 0 damage from my card's effect!" A shield formed around Queen just as the effect connected.
"Fine by me!" Revolver grinned. "Time to end this! Borrelsword Dragon, direct att-!"
"Not so fast you fool!" Queen snarled. "I activate the Counter Trap, Chessboard Trap!"
"Are you kidding me?" Revolver frowned deeply. "A Counter Trap? Now?"
"Yes now!" Queen jeered. "Now since you so kindly destroyed my Black King, I can pay half my LP to negate the effects of all cards you control, then destroy them! This applies to your precious set cards too!"
"Wh-What?!" Revolver gaped. He watched in utmost horror as his 3 cards on his field greyed out, then exploded.
"But that's just the start!" Queen spoke with glee. "Now, I can Special Chessboard Avatar - White King and Chessboard Avatar - Black King from my Extra Deck to each of our fields; ignoring Summoning Conditions! I get the White King, and you get the Black King!" After Queen spoke that, and her LP dropped to 1400, both Kings appeared onto the field. (Chessboard Avatar - White King, attribute: LIGHT, type: Warrior/Synchro, Level 12, ATK/DEF: 4000. Queen's hand: 1 card. Revolver's hand: 1 card. Queen's LP: 1400. Revolver's LP: 3200.) Revolver closed his grey eyes at the sight.
"I end my turn…" Revolver spoke softly.
"Then it's my turn!" Queen grinned. "Draw!" (Queen's hand: 2 cards. Revolver's hand: 1 card. Queen's LP: 1400. Revolver's LP: 3200.) Upon Queen drawing, she glowed green and her LP increased by 800; putting her LP at 2200. She pulled the card she drew before revealing it.
"I play the Spell card, Piece Exchange!" Queen announced. "Now by shuffling your Borrelsword Dragon and my Chessboard Avatar - Black King from our respective Graveyards into our respective Decks, I can send an equal number of Chessboard Avatar monsters from my Deck to the Graveyard! I send Chessboard Avatar - White Pawn and Chessboard Avatar - White Bishop!" The 2 monster cards ejected from her Deck; thus she sent them to the Graveyard. Shew then pulled them back out and placed on top of her Deck, which auto-shuffled. "Now I use White Pawn's effect! I shuffle it and 1 or more non-Tuner monsters into my Deck to call upon the Queen! Synchro Summon! Come forth! Level 10! Chessboard Avatar - White Queen!" The giantess white queen chess piece emerged onto the field next to White King; she stood in a offensive stance, as if prepared to strike. (Chessboard Avatar - White Queen, attribute: LIGHT, type: Warrior/Synchro, Level 10, ATK/DEF: 4000/3500. Queen's hand: 1 card. Revolver's hand: 1 card. Queen's LP: 4200 (A/N: Queen has 4200 LP because of Chessboard Avatar - White Bishop's effect. Just wanted to point that out.) Revolver's LP: 3200.) Queen then released a light laugh as she pulled the last card out of her hand. "You're not the only one that can use old school cards, you know! I activate Shield & Sword! Now the ATK/DEF of all monsters currently on the field have their ATK/DEF swapped!" White Queen's ATK and DEF changed to 3500/4000. Revolver's grey eyes widened in slight surprise.
"Now your combo can occur!" Revolver realized.
"Correct!" Queen laughed as she thrusted her right hand forward. "Battle! White Queen, attack Black King!" The White Queen then proceeded to charge towards the Black King, who raised his sword to defend himself, then he countered. Queen swiped her right arm from left to right. "White Queen effect! Since her ATK is lower than Black King's, she cannot be destroyed by battle and I take 0 damage! Furthemore, the ATK of Black King goes to White King!" Revolver watched as the ATK of White King rose to 8000.
"Humph! Predictable!" Revolver scoffed as he pulled a card from his hand and sent it to the Graveyard. "I activate the effect of Defense-Offense Dragon from my hand! By discarding it, my monster cannot be targeted or be destroyed by card effects, nor by battle! Furthermore! Any damage I take is halved!" Queen clenched her fists at Revolver's persistence.
"Rargh! Fine!" Queen snapped. "But you still take the damage!" White King leapt at Black King and slashed at said king. Black King deflected with its sword, but White King slashed again and across the Black King's shoulder armor; thus Black King cried out. Revolver grunted as he fell to 1 knee as his avatar body fizzled blue for a brief moment, then stopped and he stood back up.. (Revolver's LP: 3200 - 2000 = 1200. Queen/Revolver's hand: 0 cards. Queen's LP: 4200. Revolver's LP: 1200.)
"I end my turn." Queen spoke smugly. "And since I have, your Defense-Offense Dragon let's you draw 1 card from your Deck equal to the number of monsters I control. Since I control 2, you draw 2 cards."
"I know." Revolver remarked as he drew his 2 cards. (Queen's hand: 0 cards. Revolver's hand: 2 cards. Queen's LP: 4200. Revolver's LP: 1200.) Revolver looked that the 2 cards and his eyes widened slightly, but they then reverted back to normal. Luckily, Queen did not notice. Revolver placed his right hand on top of his deck, and was about to draw for his turn, but Queen speaking stopped him and he lowered his right hand.
"Revolver." Queen spoke.
"Yes?" Revolver frowned.
"You know that it was me that the Hanoi Project occurred." Queen remarked. "You know the names of all 6 children. However…...there some things you do not know…. But shall know now…" She paused for a moment, then continued. "For example, you know of the Hanoi Project and I was surprised that Kiyoshi's own son reported the incident…. Which lead to me killing your Father, and his 3 friends…. Who of which you already know…" Revolver grit his teeth at that.
"You aimed to killed Dr. Taki, Dr. Genome, and Aso?" Revolver growled.
"Correct." Queen retorted. "But your Father removed them from the data, which saved them the agony of a comatose demise. Regardless, it didn't matter. Especially considering that the people close to the 6 children would want answers as to why their kid was gone for 6 months. So of course, I had to….get rid of those loose ends to ensure that nothing would befall me or my company." She raised her right hand up and her lips formed a dark smile. "Let's start with Takeru Homura's parents! It's true that they searched everywhere for their son. However….I ensured that some of the truth got out, but not everything…. It's true that Takeru's parents died. But how they died is a whole nother story…. Heh heh heh…."
"Damn you…!" Revolver growled as he clenched his fists. "You killed Soulburner's parents?!" At that, Queen began to laugh; confirming Revolver's words.
"That's right I did!" Queen confirmed, sadism spread across her facial features. "I knew that eventually that they would find the site of the Hanoi Project. So I…..had them killed to prevent such a possibility…." Soulburner grew wide eyed upon hearing this as his expression became pure rage.
"Damn you Queen!" He growled. Playmaker tsked, while Ice Queen and Blue Girl had their right hand over their mouths, even Spectre, the usually sadist Knight of Hanoi grit his teeth.
"Windy's Origin was of no concern." Queen remarked. "But that doesn't mean the others weren't! Like the Kusanagi parents! They, like Takeru Homura's, were dealt with by yours truly!"
In the real world, Shoichi, Dr. Taki, Dr. Genome, and Aso at their respective computers in their respective living quarters widened their eyes at that remark.
"How sick!" Ice Queen snarled.
"Oh, and Spectre's Mother Tree at that orphanage he grew up in wasn't cut down cause of "adult reasons", that was me!" Queen sneered. "I gave the orphanage enough to grow, in exchange, they cut down the tree."
"My Mother Tree…..!" Spectre growled.
"You disgust me, Queen!" Blue Girl scowled. Queen turned to face Blue Girl, her dark smile never faltering.
"If you thought those last few were awful, then you'll love this!" Queen remarked, slight sarcasm within her voice. "You know about the Arctic family your step-sister lived in Antarctica, yes? Guess who bombed their entire camp?"
"...You didn't…" Blue Girl paled.
"I did!" Queen sneered. At that, Ice Queen clenched her fists and her whitish-blue eyes flashes dangerously.
"DAMN YOU QUEEN!" Ice Queen roared, anger evident in her voice. Aqua began to talk softly to Ice Queen in hopes to calm her down.
"How horrible…!" Ai spoke softly.
"I'll say." Flame agreed.
"Ice Queen….." Soulburner spoke softly. Playmaker's eyes narrowed further and further after each dark deed reveal coming out of Queen's mouth.
"I saved the best dark truth for last!" Queen spoke. She then raised her right hand up and pointed her right index finger at Playmaker. "Playmaker, or rather, Yusaku Fujiki… Is my son!"
Within Lightning's palace, Lightning placed his right hand to his chin.
"Very good, Queen." Lightning remarked. "This should shaken their resolve…..for better or worse." Controlled Blood Shepherd, controlled Juliette Kogami, and Windy watched in silence. Though Windy's left eye curved into that of a dark smile.
"WHAT?!" Ai shrieked, shocked.
"No way!" Soulburner yelled shocked.
"You mean she actually placed her own son…!" Blue Girl began, horrified.
"Through that incident?!" Ice Queen finished equally shocked and horrified.
Aso, Kyoko, Kusanagi, and Genome all looked horrified. Kusanagi slammed his fist on the table in pure rage for his friend.
"How could she?!" He growled.
"Playmaker..." Soulburner turned to his friend. Playmaker eyes bore various mix of emotions on his face as he clutched his hands tightly.
"..." Playmaker spoke nothing; still speechless.
"Speechless, I see." Queen noted. "That's understandable. Alas…...I chose my own son because my original choice was…." She then turned back to Revolver. "you, Revolver."
"Me?" Revolver repeated.
"Yes." Queen answered. "But when I brought it up to your Father, he refused. As expected from him." Before Queen could continue, Playmaker broke of his speechless expression.
"...Why?" Playmaker demanded. "Why choose me, your own child? Surely you could have found another child to fill the role to create the Dark Ignis." He paused before he clenched his fists. "Not only that, but after I saved Link VRAINS, you then place a bounty on my head! All because I had the Dark Ignis?!" His fists were so tight that they were becoming white. "If this is your way of spending more time with me, then it's a sick joke!" He closed his emerald green eyes, then continued. "No…...you're not Mother…. Not anymore… I remember the days when we would have fun…. Do Motherly-Son things together…." He then opened his eyes and they flashes with anger. "But now all you care about is SOL Technologies, money, and evolving your company! Nothing else! If I'm going to give up Ai, he's certainly not going into your hands! I'd rather have him be with the Zaizens, or Ghost Girl, for that matter! Not some corrupted CEO who I thought/remember was my Mother!"
"Playmaker…" Ai felt himself about to cry. Revolver clenched his fists and his grey eyes flashed with anger, along with determination.
"So it seems I'm not just fighting you to avenge my Father…" Revolver spoke softly.
"Hoh?" Queen inquired. "Whatever do you mean?" Revolver raised his right arm up and pointed his right index finger at Queen.
"I'm fighting you for everyone you've hurt a/killed!" Revolver shot back. "That includes your son! Everyone that suffered because of you will be avenged by my hands!"
"Hahahaha!" Queen laughed, then her lips formed a sadistic smile. "Try if you can, Revolver!"

0713MM: Whoa! What a cruel twist! Then again, Z-ONE said in 5Ds that reality is cruel, so that line he says fits Queen and Yusaku Fujiki/Playmaker quite well here. Again, I doubt that Queen and Yusaku Fujiki are actually related in the anime, but we shall see! I was half tempted to have Playmaker duel her instead, but I chose Revolver ultimately because I got suggestions from a fellow fanfic user. (Shout-out to SakushiRyu for the suggestion to have Revolver duel Queen in a Speed Duel on their way into Mirror Link VRAINS, along with any other suggestions you've given me through PM. They were all greatly appreciated!^^) As for why I chose to have Queen be the Master Manipulator in regards to the choosing of the 6 children, it's to show that she's far more ruthless and merciless than originally anticipated. Why she chose her own son to be a part of the Hanoi Project? Well think about it. If you're a CEO of a company, and you want something, you'll do anything to obtain it. Even if it means sacrificing everything to obtain it. In this case, Queen sacrificed her son's love to create the 6 Ignis. (A/N: I know I put Ice Queen speaking in this chapter and in the upcoming Chapter 12. Those are mistakes. Glacies Zaizen is NOT in Mirror Link VRAINS yet, and she's not in it in the upcoming chapter 12. Least not at the start of that chapter. She's still in the real world with her step siblings and Aqua. Just wanted to point this out before anyone gets confused.
