14. Chapter 14

A/N Thanks to Jalen for his OC cards here and to And then the sky for Trojan and his OC cards. Also thanks to Rom as ever!"

"Come out!" Soulburner yelled.

Soulburner was next on Hanoi's hit list. With Playmaker being logged out and Blue Girl being forced into a draw, only she and Soulburner remained in the Hanoi base.

Before Soulburner a figure materialized… he was a male with black hair which went down to his shoulders appeared, he had a white jumpsuit on withoccasional flecks of black and red alongside white boots as well as white gloves.

"Hello, Soulburner…. I'll be your opponent today!" said the figure.

"You're that guy…"

"Trojan, yes I am." he replied. "You enter our base? You pay the penalty."

"Like Playmaker and Blue Girl… you'll block my account permanently…"

"Yes…. Revolver is always looking to minimise the harm to us humans…. it would be different for me but luckily for you, I'm not in charge!"

A purple circle surrounded the two, the programme Hanoi made to make the loser lose their account.

"Before we begin….. let's make this more interesting!" Trojan snapped his fingers and a screen appeared.

Trapped in a cage in a separate room were a crowd of eight people screaming for help. They were adults who were using LINK VRAINS and got taken by Trojan before the data beast appeared.

"What is this?!" Soulburner demanded to know.

"Revolver says to keep the harm to a minimum… this is about that. Let's say you win and my account is deleted…. you'll have these people killed!"

"WHAT?!"

"It's a fair compromise…. what will you do?! Will you really put a fake world over the lives of humans?" Trojan mocked.

"It's more than that… it's revenge!"

"Same applies…. is your ego that important compared to eight people?"

"I'll work out a way to stop you and your disgusting plan! Let's duel!" Soulburner roared.

"Very well." Trojan smiled.

Turn 1

Soulburner LP: 4000 Hand: 5

Trojan LP: 4000 Hand: 5

"I summon play Fury of Fire! I bring out two Salamangreat's from my hand with their effects negated! Appear Wolvie and Mole!"

Wolvie was a scaly brown and red hound while Mole was a four legged creature with white amour on its back with several spikes.

Salamangreat Mole ATK: 0 DEF: 0 Fire/Cyberse/LVL 1

Salamangreat Wolvie ATK: 1700 DEF: 1000 Fire/Cyberse/LVL 4

"Link Summon!" Both Monsters shot into the top and bottom arrow and Soulburner's blue wolf with fire raging down its back emerged.

Salamangreat Sunlight Wolf ATK: 1800 Fire/Cyberse/LINK-2/Up, Down

"Since I Special Summoned, I can summon Salamangreat Fowl!" A peacock with a firey tail appeared under Sunlight Wolf's link.

Salamangreat Fowl ATK: 1800 DEF: 200 Fire/Cyberse/LVL 4

"Since I summoned a Monster to its link, I can add a Fire Monster from my graveyard to my hand! I return Mole and set one card to end my turn!"

Turn 2

Soulburner LP: 4000 Hand: 1

Trojan LP: 4000 Hand: 5

"Then I draw! I summonBlood Soldier Zexan!" A solider made of dark red amour appeared.

Blood Soldier Zexan Warrior, Effect, Dark, Level 4 ATK/DEF, 1000/2000

"When summoned I can add a Blood Solider to my hand from my deck! I addBlood Soldier Maza! Next I use the Spell Blood Flow to summon a Blood Solider from my hand! Appear Blood Soldier Hydrax!" A knight in red amour with black trims emerged. He arose from a pool of blood.

Blood Soldier Hydrax Warrior, Effect, Dark, Level 4, ATK/DEF 1900/500

"His effect allows me to summon a second Hydrax from my deck!" A second one emerged.

Blood Soldier Hydrax Warrior, Effect, Dark, Level 4, ATK/DEF 1900/500

"I use Hydrax's effect! I tribute itself to destroy Sunlight Wolf!" Hydrax melted into a pool of blood which quickly consumed Sunlight Wolf, destroying it. "Now my other one attacks your Fowl!" The Monster easily took it out.

Soulburner LP: 4000 – 3900

"100 damage? Is that all?!" Soulburner mocked.

"I still have Zexan! I play the Quick-Play Spell Blood Overflow! I can attack directly with Zexan!" Zexan slashed across Soulburner's body, making him feel a burning pain.

Soulburner LP: 3900 – 2900

"Blood Overflow then destroys Zexan… and when Zexan is destroyed, you're forced to send the top two cards of your deck to the graveyard!"

"Fine!" Soulburner didn't care about that; he knew he had enough in his deck to win.

"I set one card and end my turn!"

Blue Girl

Blue Girl along with Aqua were dealing with the door to the room they were trapped in.

"So there's nothing you can do?" Blue Girl asked Aqua.

"No… this door's data is well programmed. I can't bypass it."

"Fine, then we use force."

Duel

Turn 3

Soulburner LP: 2900 Hand: 1

Trojan LP: 4000 Hand: 3

"I draw! And now I use my Spell Salamangreat Circle to add a Salamangreat to my hand from my deck. I add the Tuner Monster Salamangreat, Red Panther!"

"Tuner? I didn't expect that from you!"

"You don't even know anything about me!"

"Oh maybe I do… well not you exactly but I know of you." Trojan replied. "You see, ten years ago when you were saved… I was one of the rescuers!"

"You were?!" Soulburner gasped.

"I was on the rescue squad, as a sixteen year old. Ten years older than the six, six year olds…. I was so happy to finally find the missing six children."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Because, I was the one who saved you!" Trojan pointed.

"Excuse me?!"

"I don't know your name… we weren't told that due to privacy reasons… but I know it's you! The kid who wore the glasses! That rage you had when I held you… I sense it from you!"

"Then… we on earth do you work for the Hanoi?!"

"That's not important! Let's continue the duel!"

"Very well I summon Salamangreat Red Panther!"

Salamangreat Red Panther LV 4/Cyberse/Effect/Tuner ATK/1300 DEF/1000

"His effect brings back Wolvie from my graveyard!" A fiery red ring appeared and the beast leapt through to return to the field.

Salamangreat Wolvie ATK: 1700 DEF: 1000 Fire/Cyberse/LVL 4

"I use Fowl to Link Summon! I need a one level four or lower Cyberse!" Fowl flew into the bottom link arrow. "Appear LINK-1 Salamangreat Balelynx!" A cybernetic lynx appeared. It was attached to two wheels.

Salamangreat Balelynx ATK: 500 Fire/Cyberse/LINK-1/Link/Down

"Since I Link Summoned it, I can add the Field Spell Salamangreat Sanctuary to my hand! And since I Link Summoned, I can summon Mole from my hand next to its link!"

Salamangreat Mole ATK: 0 DEF: 0 Fire/Cyberse/LVL 1

"I use my Field Spell and I Link Summon once more! Go Balelynx and Mole!" The circuit opened again and both flew into the top and bottom arrow. "Let's go LINK-2 Salamangreat Sunlight Wolf!" A second Sunlight Wolf emerged in Soulburner's Extra Monster Zone.

Salamangreat Sunlight Wolf ATK: 1800 Fire/Cyberse/LINK-2/Up, Down

"And here comes your Reincarnation Link Summon." Trojan said.

"You're right! My Field Spell lets me Link Summon a Link Monster with the same name! Reincarnation Link Summon!" Sunlight shot into the circuit which lit up in flames. "Appear my third Sunlight Wolf!"

Salamangreat Sunlight Wolf ATK: 1800 Fire/Cyberse/LINK-2/Up, Down

"I now use its other effect! When Reincarnation Link Summoned, I add a Salamangreat Spell from my graveyard to my hand, I'm returning Circle! Now I'm ready to Synchro Summon! I tune Panther with Wolvie!"

"You can now Synchro Summon? Not bad!"

Panther and Wolvie both dissolved as two rings appeared which then overlapped with each other.

4+4=8

"I Synchro Summon, Salamangreat Blaze Phoenix!" The creature wore white amour with blue spots. He had several mighty wings which were white energy. It was summoned underneath Sunlight Wolf.

Salamangreat Blaze Phoenix LV 8/Synchro/Effect ATK/2800 DEF/2000

"I use Sunlight Wolf's effect! I add a Fire Monster from my graveyard since I summoned a Monster under Sunlight's link! Return Panther to my hand!"

"Now this makes it much more exciting!" Trojan replied. "For me and the captives!"

"I won't let you win or harm those people…. how could someone go from saving me to harming people?!"

"I'm righting a wrong! After hearing about it all…. I knew what I had to do!"

"Heard about it from who?!" Soulburner asked however Trojan was silent. "Fine! I'll make you speak! When Blaze is Synchro Summoned I take out every card on your field! And it gains 500 attack!"

"Each one?!" Trojan replied as Phoenix unleashes flames from its wings, burning all the cards on his field.

Phoenix ATK: 3300

"GO!"

Phoenix's fiery aura flew up high before spinning around and striking Trojan in the chest, knocking him back against the wall.

Trojan LP: 4000 – 700

"Sunlight will end you!"

"WILL YOU?!" Trojan yelled. "Will you kill those souls?!" Soulburner stopped and gritted his teeth. "Have you got a plan?!"

"… I … set one card and end my turn."

"So Soulburner, what will you do? You nearly killed them all!"

"Shut up!"

Blue Girl

Blue Girl looked at the door and was surprised.

"No wonder you couldn't bypass it….. it's an actual door."

"Ignis can't hack wood." Aqua innocently said.

"Well… maybe you can. Aqua, you can take liquid form, right?"

"Yes I can."

"Good, now I want you to go into the keyhole and trigger the mechanism."

Aqua's shot forward and her body became a blue flow of digital water which shot through the lock.

Blue Girl pulled down on the handle and it opened. Aqua returned to the duel disk once she stepped out.

"Okay… now to find the switch to shut it down." Blue Girl said as she looked down both ends of a looking corridor.

"I sense the Ignis…." Aqua added as she pointed towards the north.

"I guess we have as much chance as finding the switch there as anywhere else, let's go." Blue Girl said.

Duel

"You nearly killed them all due to your impatience… how would that have felt?" Trojan mocked.

"I won't believe you!"

"You can save them, Soulburner…. surrender."

"I won't!"

"Because your ego won't allow you?"

"Because I will never surrender to Hanoi, never!" Soulburner yelled back.

"So it is an ego issue! That's fine, being a hero is hard work after all."

"I don't want to be a hero… I just want to bury you all!"

"Yes but at the cost of their lives?" Trojan replied. Soulburner gripped his hand and it shook.

"I…. I can't do it…."

"Then say the words!"

"I won't forget this!" Soulburner snapped back.

"That's not the right answer!"

"…. I surrender!" Soulburner yelled.

Soulburner: Surrender – Trojan Wins

"Well done, Soulburner… your naivety is most fun!"

"Naivety?!"

"This is a digital world…. those aren't real people!" Trojan snapped and the people became data.

"No!"

"You weren't to know…. I doubt either Playmaker or Blue Girl would've attacked either… that's why Hanoi will win… now, lose your account forever!"

The purple ring around the duelists closed in around Soulburner and soon he was encased by purple light. His deck slowly deleted and soon his duel disk. Soulburner then saw his body slowly dissolve.

"Don't worry, this isn't death… you'll still be alive… I'm just saving you from this disgusting virtual world." Trojan said sternly.

Soulburner's body was deleted and Trojan teleported away.

Top Floor

Revolver watched the main computer with Spectre. They saw Blue Girl walk up the stairs and heading towards them.

"At least she finally worked out how to open a door." Spectre mocked.

"Now we can have our rematch." Revolver said. "And the Water Ignis and Blue Girl will find out what we've been keeping in store for them."

On another screen they saw Violet Dagger and other Hanoi members heading towards a new location. A location the data beast had destroyed.
