CHAPTER 11: Heroes Emerge And the Truth of VRAINS
Last Chapter:Playmaker, Codelinker and CubeExcavator engaged in a duel, and in the middle of it, CubeExcavator dealt some damage towards Playmaker. So, what will happen next?
TURN 4
Playmaker LP:6100
HAND:2
FIELD:No Remaining Monsters, one face down card.
CubeExcavator LP:4000
HAND:4
FIELD:Dark Magician, Magician of Nights
Codelinker LP:4000
HAND:3
FIELD:Fire Shield Warrior, Elemental Fairy
'I've never thought that these 2...' Playmaker thought. Considering that Codelinker and CubeExcavator dealt a lot of damage in one turn, not to mention, CubeExcavator damaged him, even though he tried to negate the damage.
"You 2 are more than what I thought." He said looking at the 2 duelists.
"Well, we're new to these parts, so it's normal for the 2 of us to be surprised." CubeExcavator admited.
"Wait... You two aren't from Den City?" Playmaker asked, looking a bit stumped.
"Yup." Codelinker joined the conversation.
"Why did you come here then?" Playmaker asked the 2.
"Like most people, we have a goal to achieve." Codelinker responded, but CubeExcavator just stood there being silent, but in his mind, he was thinking of his past.
"..." Playmaker just accepted that simple answer.
"Let's continue this duel."
"I place one card face down and end my turn."
TURN 5
Playmaker LP:6100
HAND:3
CubeExcavator LP:4000
HAND:3
Codelinker
LP:4000 HAND:3
"My turn!" Playmaker declared as he drew a new card from his deck. 'That spell card... Wildfire Haze is still in effect until Codelinker's next standby phase... looks like I'm stuck in a bit of a gap.' He thought and Ai suggested something. "Hey, used that card of yours." Playmaker looked and decided to do something.
"I summon Balancer Lord in ATK Mode!"
Balancer Lord ATK:1700 DEF:1200
[LIGHT/LV4/CYBERSE/EFFECT]
Once per turn: You can pay 1000 LP; during your Main Phase this turn, you can Normal Summon 1 Cyberse monster, in addition to your Normal Summon/Set. (You can only gain this effect once per turn.) If this card is banished: You can Special Summon 1 Level 4 or lower monster from your hand. You can only use this effect of "Balancer Lord" once per turn.
"Then, I activate Balancer Lord's effect. Once per turn, I pay 1000 LP, then I can summon 1 CYBERSE-Type monster." Playmaker explained to those 2.
Playmaker LP:6100-5100
"I summon, Draconnet in DEF Mode!" Then, a small dragon-like creature came out.
Draconnet ATK:1400 DEF:1200
[LIGHT/LV3/CYBERSE/EFFECT]
When this card is Normal Summoned: You can Special Summon 1 LV2 or lower Normal Monster from your hand or Deck in Defense Mode.
"Due to Draconnet's effect, I can Special Summon one LV 2 or lower Normal Monster from my hand or my deck. Come, Bitron!" Bitron was a small creature, small as a Kuriboh probably. But the difference that this little creature was cyber in physical apperance.
Bitron ATK:200 DEF:2000
[EARTH/LV2/CYBERSE/NORMAL]
A new species found in electronic space. There's not much information on it.
"3 monsters are on his field..." CubeExcavator mummbled out loud.
"That means one thing..." Codelinker continued.
"Appear! The circuit that leads towards the future!"
A portal with 8 triangles appeared in the sky and the monster proceeded to fly towards it.
"Arrowheads Confirmed! Summoning conditions are 2 or more Effect Monsters! I set Balancer Lord, Draconnet and Bitron in the Link Markers!" Playmaker explained as the markers glowed.
"Link Summon! Appear, Link 3! Decode Talker!"
Decode Talker ATK:2500
LINK:Up, Down-Left, Down-Right
[DARK/LINK 3/CYBERSE/EFFECT]
Gains 500 ATK for each monster it points to. When your opponent activates a card or effect that targets a card(s) you control (Quick Effect): You can Tribute 1 monster this card points to; negate the activation, and if you do, destroy that card.
"Not bad." CubeExcavator said. 'So this is the monster that helped Mindo with her battle...'
"Looks like I have to fight that now." Codelinker explained.
"Battle Phase! I attack Magician of Nights with Decode Talker!" Playmaker explained as Decode Talker rushed towards the Magician of Nights.
"Why?! Your monster is too weak to beat the Magician of Nights!" CubeExcavator shouted out. Of course, it was logical to a lot of people. When you have a monster with lower ATK against a higher monster with ATK, then the lower one would lose.
"Activate! Quick-Play Spell! Cyberse Output!"
Cyberse Output
[QUICK-PLAY/SPELL]
When a CYBERSE-Type Monster is attacking, the attacking monster gains 1000 ATK, but after the Battle Phase, that monster loses it's effect until the End Phase.
"With Cyberse Output, Decode Talker gains 1000 ATK for this Battle Phase only!"
Decode Talker ATK:3500
As he said, Decode Talker glowed blue. And then, the Magician of Nights was destroyed.
CubeExcavator LP:4000-3100
"I place one card face down and end my turn."
TURN 6
Playmaker LP:5100
HAND:0
CubeExcavator LP:3100
HAND:3
Codelinker LP:4000
HAND:4
"Alright, it's my turn now!" Codelinker said. And when he looked at his hand, he smirked and made his move. And then, the effect of Wildfire Haze ended at his Standby Phase.
"Alright, I Wind Dragon Knight in ATK Mode!" Codelinker said as Wind Dragon Knight appared in front of him.
Wind Dragon Knight ATK:1000 DEF:500
[WIND/LV 3/WARRIOR/EFFECT]
As long as this card is on the field, all WARRRIOR Type Monsters gain 200 ATK and DEF. And if this is targeted by an Effect, this losses 100 ATK.
"Since he's here, all WARRIOR-Type Monsters gain 200 ATK and DEF in my field!" Codelinker explained.
"Since he's pressent, Fire Shield Warrior gains that boost!"
Fire Shield Warrior ATK:2200 DEF:300
"Then, I activate Double Summon!"
Double Summon
[SPELL]
You can conduct 2 Normal Summons/Sets this turn, not just 1.
"I can Summon again this turn! So, I tribute Elemental Fairy and Fire Shield Warrior to Summon this monster!" Codelinker explained as the fairy and the warrior dissapeared and was replaced by a bright light.
"Tribute Summon! Appear, Elemental Hero Neos!"
Elemental Hero Neos ATK:2500 DEF:2000
[LIGHT/LV7/WARRIOR/NORMAL]
A new Elemental HERO has arrived from Neo-Space! When he initiates a Contact Fusion with a Neo-Spacian his unknown powers are unleashed.
CubeExcavator and Playmaker were surprised at the appearance of the monster. It was truly like someone from another world to help a human make peace. But, Codelinker passed out a bit, only Thunder noticing. And of course, he was worried.
"Hey! Hey! Are you alright?!" Thunder shouted to Codelinker who was lying on the ground.
"Codelinker!" The 2 duelists called out to him, but he couldn't respond.
-?-
"Ughhh..." Mindo was just holding her head due to it hurting. As she was trying regain her sight, she saw someone in front of her. This person had black pants and red shoes. Mindo was sure that the man also had a red jacket too.
'Congrats kid.'
"Whaaa-? Who are you? Why are you here? Where am I?" Mindo asks.
'Don't worry. You're in your own mind.'
"Really?"
'As for me being here, you found and used my Soul Card.'
"What? What's that?"
'Oh, looks like he didn't tell you. Not even doing anything to inform you.' The man responds.
"Who's he?" Mindo asks.
'I'll tell you later. right now, I gotta do a job.'
"What's your job?"
-Server-
"Codelinker!" CubeExcavator was calling out to his companion, but he wasn't receving any response. And Ai interrupted the little problem.
"If he dosen't come back to his senses, he's gonna have to kick the bucket."
"Be quiet." Playmaker commaned Ai to do so.
But luckily, Codelinker woke up, but he was different. His physical appearnce wasn't different except for his eyes, which was red before now is brown. And he was speaking as if he wasn't dueling in the first place.
"Oh hey, so it's my turn right?" Codelinker asked the 2 duelists.
"Are you alright? Did you hit your brain?!" Thunder asked.
"Hm? I'm alright. Don't worry about me." Codelinker responds.
"So, do you wish to continue this duel?" Playmaker asks.
"Yeah." 'Sounds like Yusei... But more-lighter, in a way...' CubeExcavator thought as he saw Codelinker stand up.
"This looks like that world..." Codelinker mummbled out loud, making it noticable to the others.
"What do you mean?" Playmaker asks him.
"N-Nothing." Codelinker said to him as he diddn't mean anything.
"Sir CubeExcavator..." Mix called out to CubeExcavator, but he stayed silent.
'I gotta get used to this. This is a world that connects to the Spirit World... So I gotta stay silent.'
