So yeah an update sorry it took so long just that I had a very hard time writing the first half of this fic with Jeanne and Syrus for obvious reasons. Still I managed to finish it and while I am not overly happy with this Chapter It does what I intended for it to do with the story, mainly get the plot moving though without rushing it. Yeah it was hard finding time to write this fic with everything going on the Trade Fair especially, if I was working normal work hours then I would have finished this a week and a half ago or even more than that. A thank you to those of you who reviews again it is always good to see your support and feedback a special thanks to FateLover for their two review really made my day as I had been having a bad one when I read them. Anyways I hope you enjoy

I only get it once. This is my life. I can't entrust it to someone, I can't steal a new one, I can't force it on others, I can't forget it or erase it. I can't stomp over it, laugh at it, or beautify it! I can't anything! I'd have to accept my one shot at life no matter how cruel, merciless, or unfair I thought it was! Sir, don't you understand? That is why I must fight. I must keep on fighting! Because... because I can never accept that kind of life!" -Yuri Nakamura, Angel beeats
Jeanne de Arc's Life points: 7100
Syrus Truesdale's Life points: 3900
"Alright" Syrus Truesdale said to himself as he looked at his face down card "this duel is decided on the card I draw here and now" As the Slifer's hand drew towards his deck Syrus froze up. It may have been only for a moment but to him it felt like an eternity. "Why do I even bother?" the light blue haired boy asked himself. "I mean it's not like I am going to win." It was then right after he said this that Syrus felt the gaze of his peers and friends upon him. "That's right" Syrus thought to himself "My friends would be disappointed if I just simply gave up" the Slifer noted giving a sideways glance to Jaden "I mean that is the one thing Jaden told me never to do." Once again finding his courage and conviction Syrus took that last painful step and put his fingers onto the top of his deck. "Here it comes" Syrus said not realising that he had just spoken aloud "the moment of truth" exhaling a breath the Slifer hadn't realised he had been holding Syrus drew the card. Looking at the card Syrus found a little disappointed, it was not the game changer he hoped for, but then again the Slifer was no Jaden that he could pull a victory from certain defeat. Still the card was way better than nothing and he could use it in conjunction with his face down so Syrus decided to roll with. Actually winning was a far off hope for him but he didn't want to go down without a fight.
"I play my Graceful Charity spell card" the small Slifer declared as said card appeared on the field. "So I get to draw three cards as long as as long as I ditch two of them" he explained. Drawing two cards and then discarding two of them. "Now Syrus said as he held his open palm out in front of his face down "I'll activate my spell card Disgraceful Charity, this allows me to return all the cards that were discarded by effects and spells on this turn to my hand" he informed the Maid of Orleans retrieving the two cards he had been forced to discard.
"Now I'll play my Vehicroid Connection Zone" Syrus stated revealing one of the cards he held in his hand. "With this I can send my UFOroid and the Repairsawrus that Hassleberry made for me to summon my UFOroid Fighter" Syrus declared. Then a figure that looked as if it belonged in an Elemental HERO deck that was sitting on what could be seen as a mini UFO appeared on the field in motes of light hovering above Syrus.
UFOroid Fighter Stars: 10 ATK: ? DEF: ?
"Why doesn't your fighter have any attack or defence points?" Ruler asked wondering why such a high level monster would not have anything given what Syrus had done to get it to bring it to the field. Then this was the Servant's first duel so she could be forging for that.
"That's because UFOroid Fighter's ATK and DEF is the combination of the monsters that were used to summon it" Syrus replied, with these words proving true when his monster's ATK and DEF rose to a respectable and slightly intimidating level as all of Rulers monsters were in ATK position.
UFOroid Fighter Stars: 10 ATK: 3500 DEF: 3100
"I should have used Herald of Ultimateness's effect so that I could have prevented such a summoning" Jeanne noted learning quickly about duelling, while quietly lamenting that she did not have a fairy type monster to spare that she could perform such a feat with it.
"That would have worked if I had not used my Veichrode Connection Zone spell card" Syrus replied "you see that card of mine is immune to all effects including those of monsters" the light blue haired Slifer informed he Maid of Orleans, much to Ruler's surprise.
"That" she began "that is quite well done Syrus" Jeanne de Arc finally found the words she was looking for "you're rather good if you try" she informed him with a winning smile that made Syrus's face flush red like a ripe tomato, that or like he had been in the sun too long,
The light blue haired Slifer Red only did so because he knew that she was being genuine, and that she wasn't trying to manipulate him, he hope. After all most guys could only dream about a girl like Jeanne to compliment them, however said girl was a Heroic Spirit did have something to do with sobering the boy if only a tiny bit."Thanks" Syrus stuttered but the Slifer managed to maintain his focus as to not get distracted by the sheer goodness Jeanne had. It was not easy but Syrus Truesdale the younger brother of Zane managed to achieve it. "Right then" Syrus began I'll have my UFOroid destroy your Herald" Syrus declared as his monster launched forth before shooting Jeanne's one causing the Angelic like figure to shatter into pieces like glass. Making the Maid of Orlean's life points drop by over a thousand.
Jeanne de Arc's Life points: 5600
Syrus Truesdale's Life points: 3900
Syrus felt a wave of satisfaction that he had actually been able to accomplish something now he just had to survive Ruler's next turn so that he could use the card Hassleberry had made effect. Then he might actually stand a chance of winning, that was if Jeanne was not like Jaden that she had ridiculous luck when it came to such things like luck of the draw. Then again non but the King of Games himself could actually beat Jaden's luck when it came to drawing the right card, or so Syrus had come to believe after his time spent with Jaden. Noticing he had a useful card he could could place down as a countermeasure to whatever Ruler was most likely going to throw at him Syrus said "I'll throw on card face down and call it a turn" he informed Ruler "and then I'll call it a turn" the small Slifer declared.
Jeanne de Arc's Life points: 5600
Syrus Truesdale's Life points: 3900
Jeanne de Arc nodded smiling kindly at Syrus "than you" the Servant said to Syrus as she drew a card "I can see how many find these games enjoyable" she informed him. Looking at the card in her hand Ruler frowned as she had not memorised what this card was or what it was capable of or more importantly is she could make use of it in general. "Sryus" she began a little embarrassed at what she was about to ask "could you please explain to me the effect of this card?" she asked. "I think in the excitement of duelling I forgot how to use it."
"Man" Chazz Princeton stated clearly worried for Syrus "can her luck get any better?" the black Jacketed Slifer asked no doubt because of the car she was showing. ""come one Syrus please lie, some on you're only going to win this if you don't tell her what that card does."
Syrus had not heard him or chose not to hear Chazz, even though he was in fact unnerved by the card she was showing him. Finally the boy's shoulders slumped in defeat. "That" he began "is Archlord Kristya, an eight star monster with two thousand eight hundred ATK and two thousand three hundred DEF" the sad looking Slifer red stated. "That is not all but if you have four fairy type monsters, which I might add you do, he can be special summoned to the field" Syrus informed her with a sad sigh as if he were a puppy being kicked by her.
"That" Chazz hissed "That idiot" the mascot of the Slifer Red Dorm snarled. "Why the hell did he just throw away his only chance of winning just because a girl as good looking as her asked him to read out a card's effect because she was not able to remember what it did?"
"Perhaps it's because while winning feels good, Syrus Sempai values other things more highly Chazz Sempai" was Hakuno's reply as he studied Ruler "that and Ruler, the Maid of Orleans is feeling like she is kicking a puppy right now so I do believe that she will not end the duel here, out of the kindness of her heart that is my Sempais." The Former NPC explained though he did not expect them to fully understand not yet, as they didn't have a Heroic Spirit like Anderson explaining things to them, nor had they met people strange like she was.
"Jeez" Jaden began looking at the former NPC "I mean not even I am that lucky with drawing cards but I guess it all evens out as I know what all of my cards do" the Slifer stated. "But are you saying that Jeanne de Arc, man that is a mouthful, is going to throw the match?"
Hakuno turned to regard Jaden his eyes serious "I'm not sure if you know this Sempai, but I never did say that the Maid of Orleans wasging to throw the match, sure that has crossed her mind probably several times by now, but she would most likely feel that it would be an insult to Syrus' if she were to do so" the former NPC informed them with a sigh "I just informed you that Ruler is not going to win this turn as she hasn't gotten carried away and does not want to hurt Syrus emotionally by beating him so easily when she is the beginner here."
Chaz snorted knowing full well that he would not have done so, then again he would not need someone to read out what his own cards effects were or for them to explain it to him. "We'll see" the black jacketed Slifer red "the slacker better not lose on this round" he stated.
"Well with the card he sent to the graveyard for his fusion I say that if he makes it past this turn things might get a little interesting for him." Hassleberry commented knowing the effects of the card that he had made, despite disliking the Slifer he had put effort into making it. If you have to do something you should do it well, that was what the boy's father had always told him. So while it might not save Syrus from his predicament, the short little Slifer was not going to be going down with nothing less than a fight. He was Zane's brother after all.
"Okay" the Miad of Orleans replied looking at the card "thank you for helping me even though you didn't have to" Jeanne said smiling in gratitude at Syrus making the poor boy blush red like a ripe tomato. After he had said some words that she couldn't understand that must have been his attempt at a 'your welcome' she decided to resume her turn "Alright I must humbly request that Archlord lend me his strength for this duel" the Saint stated as an Angelic figure that was clothed in light sliver armour with bright red wings came onto the field.
Archlord Kristya Stars: 8 ATK: 2800 DEF: 2300
"Now I'll equip my Cestus of Dagla to him" Ruler declared in the full spirit of things, mainly the duel. Than suddenlt the Heroic Spirit stopped before looking as Syrus a bit sheepishly "I can do that right?" she asked. It seemed that although Jeanne de arc had very good luck compared to the Slifer, despite how well she did in this duel some of her actions were a constant reminded to the audience that this was her first time ever playing the game or even seeing the game played. Some might have found it funny while most would have found it sad.
Syrus hesitated, though this time it was more because he couldn't believe that she had forgotten the phases of the game rather than the fact that he had thought on deceiving her, that voice was there but that voice could never be Syrus, nor could it ever influence the boy either.
Archlord Kristya Stars: 8 ATK: 3300 DEF: 2300
Seeing the boy nod Jeanne looked to the cards in her hand after she had equipped Cestus of Dagla her monster. "I have decided that I will play a face down and end my turn" the Maid of Orleans stated as a face down card appeared on the field, proving Hakuno words right.
"What?" Bastion managed "why one earth would she do a thing like that?" the Ra Yellow asked. Looking to Hakuno his friend Bastion asked "You said that she would not beat this turn Syrus this turn purely out of kindness of her heart, care to please explain that to me?"
Hakuno looked at Bastion, he couldn't see why the youth was not aware of it "kindness, humility, honesty, purity, faith Misawa Sempai" Hakuno began "her heart carries only these things and nothing else" he told all of them "that is why she chose not to win on this turn."
"Well" Alexis began "I guess she isn't a saint for no reason" unlike most of the others she had a far better education thanks to her parents so she knew a little of the Maid of Orleans's history. "I guess she truly is the Saint people make her out to be in that case" Alexis stated.
Jeanne de Arc's Life points: 5600
Syrus Truesdale's Life points: 3900
It appeared that Syrus too was a bit surprised by this "What?" he asked not believing what Ruler had just done. "Why one earth didn't you attack?" The Slifer red asked her "it would have been over for me if you did" he explained. "Not that I stand much of a chance of winning either way" Syrus added mentally while trying to place up a strong front. Still for someone like Syrus who had a brother like Zane to live up to things like this made him feel full of self pity as the Slifer had always known that he was nowhere near as good as Zane.
It appeared that Ruler had seen thoughts like these across his face despite Syrus strong front he put on or at least tried to "I" the Maid of Orleans began "I feel as though it would be wrong to beat you like this" she admitted knowing that deceiving Syrus would do neither of them any good. "It would be doing a great wrong by you if I were to win so easily when I am just a beginner who can barely read the cards she has much less know what they do and have to ask my you opponent for aid with you giving to me so readily even though it would benefit yourself much more to lie or deceive me" Jeanne de Arc explained. "If I were to take the help you gave me willingly and freely, then to use it to defeat you. I would forever taint my very soul with that black a sin" she informed Syrus "that is why I now stay my hand."
If the Maid of Orleans expected wrath from Syrus she was to be surprised. Instead of shouting angrily at her the boys shoulder's slumped and the boy hanged his head in defeat even though he had yet to lose. "I guess I am so pathetic that I invoke sympathy from the person who is my opponent" the Slifer Red said in resignation. "I really don't know why Kaiba and Pegasus requested that I be the one to Duel you, There is no way I could win" he stated. "I guess I am not much use after all and should just sit back and let everyone else handle it."
"What are you saying" Ruler rebuked Syrus earning a flinch from the short boy. "You just can't give up" she informed him "Even though this is something of no consequence if you give up here you will start to give up when it actually matters" the Maid of Orleans stated
"Is it me or am I starting to see some sort of chemistry between the two of them?" Chazz asked, more to himself that anyone else "I mean she has lots of confidence when it counts and he has none at all, it appears that Ruler as she calls herself completes Syrus" he muttered
The Slifer would have made to say more but a stern look from Alexis shut him up. "Chazz" she began "are you even able to take anything seriously?" Alexis asked him. "You shouldn't joke about stuff like that, especially when one of them in this case is a Saint no less."
Back with Syrus it seemed he had at least temporarily been shocked back into action. "Okay" Syrus stammered "I draw" he stated drawing a card from the top of his deck. "Thanks to Archlod Krysta neither of us can special summon monsters this turn." The Slifer Red noted. "It's a good thing that the card dino brain made for me then is immune to such effects" Syrus noted that he did have something to thank Hassleberyy for later, though the Slifer knew it would be better to do it in private. Still the thought irked Syrus after what had happened before with the two of them. Pushing these stray thoughts to the side Syrus looked at the card in his hand and resisting sighing in defeat as he couldn't make use of it. "Alright then" Syrus began "thanks to my Repairsawrus's effect he returns to the field now" Syrus explained as a light shone and then faded revealing a humanoid reptile like monster with spanners instead of hands and a mechanical eye along with gears for a crest along its back. Letting out a human like roar Repairswarus jumped onto the field landing in front of the timid Slifer red.
Repairsawrus Stars: 6 ATK: 2300 DEF: 1900
"Now his special effect kicks in" Syrus stated "You see for every one of my monsters in the graveyard he gains 200 ATK and DEF points" Syrus explained. "That and I so happen to have three" the light blue haired boy explained so in tatal he gains 600 ATK and DEF points."
Repairsawrus Stars: 6 ATK: 2900 DEF: 2500
"Now then I'll play my face down limiter removal, as you already now now all my Machine type monsters ATK are doubled" Syrus informed her "Also my Repairsawrus has a nifty effect that allows him to be treated as a Machine type monster if I discard one card from my hand" Syrus explained as he discarded a card and both of his monster were surrounded by a golden light as their ATK points doubled suddenly making them look intimidating with that high ATK points.
Repairsawrus Stars: 6 ATK: 5800 DEF: 2500
UFOroid Fighter Stars: 10 ATK: 7000 DEF: 3100
"I" Ruler began "can I use Soul of Purity and Light's effect to negate 300 ATK from your monsters?" she asked earning a nod from Syrus. "Very well then though it does not make too much of a difference I beseech the Soul of Purity and light to negate 300 of your monsters ATK points" Jeanne declared as Syrus's monster ATK points went down by that amount.
Repairsawrus Stars: 6 ATK: 5500 DEF: 2500
UFOroid Fighter Stars: 10 ATK: 67000 DEF: 3100
"Alright then" Syrus stated "now that has been settled Repairsawrus attack Soul of Purity and Light" he instructed as the dino like machine warrior, thing let out a roar and delivered a kick to Ruler's monster shattering it into hundred of pieces. Jeanne felt her life points go down a considerable bit, meaning that she would have to play her trap card when his next monster attack so she didn't lose. Due to Soul of Purity and Light no longer being on the field it's effect no longer negated 300 of Syrus's monster ATK so their ATK returned to normal.
Repairsawrus Stars: 6 ATK: 5500 DEF: 2500
UFOroid Fighter Stars: 10 ATK: 67000 DEF: 3100

Syrus Truesdale's Life points: 3900
"Wow Jaden commented "what a way to bounce back. I mean Syrus now has a chance of winning this match on this very turn" the Slifer said excitedly. "What?" he asked in surprise looking at the others else who did not share in his enthusiasm which was usually infectious.
"Jaden" Bastion said with a sigh "you are forgetting the face down she played" the Ra Yellow informed him. "Given the way she draws that it rivals you that face down has to be some ace in the whole that she can turn her defeat into victory. Syrus too probably knows this."
"Misawa sempai is right sempai" Hakuno agreed using the proper honorific, all of those present even Chazz knew that they would never get used to the amount of respect that the former NPC showed his seniors or as his upper class men also known to them as Sempai's.
True to Bastion prediction when Jeanne de Arc revealed her face up "I activate my facedown Aid to the doomed" she explained. "It seemed that she had at least memorised this card's effect, and it had saved her the game. "I now discard two cards from my hand to end the turn" Jeanne stated informing Syrus of it's effect before looking a little sheepish and flushing a little in embarrassment, this meant that she was going to ask Syrus if this was a move she was able to perform. Then again despite how well she did the Ruler was new to all of this.
Seeing her about to ask Syrus simply hung his head and sighed "Yes" the Slifer red answered the question before Jeanne de Arc even had the chance to ask it. "Yes you can do that" Ryrus informed her with resignation, he was almost going to win but then this just happened. Syrus saw both of his monster destroyed and sent to the graveyard due to Limiter Removal's effect. He would get the card that Hassleberry had made for him the next turn again, but the short Slifer Red knew with no doubt that there was not going to be a next turn for him.
Jeanne de Arc's Life points: 2100
Syrus Truesdale's Life points: 3900
"Thankyou for helping me learn about this strange game" Jeanne said as she drew a card "I feel obliged to tell you that it was fun even though it seemed that you were dealt a bad hand, but I am proud that you stuck out until the end instead of quitting" Jeanne stated causing Syrus to blush. Again Chazz muttered something about chemistry like he had before but did so under his breath so Alexis and the others couldn't fully hear what he was saying. "Now then" Jeanne began as she looked to her monster Archlord Krysta "Archlord Krysta I beseech you to attack Syrus's Life points directly" she implored treating the Duel Monster as if it were a true Angel, then again she must have believed that as Pegasus had given her a combination of the Herald deck with Angels mixed into it for the Maid of Orleans.
Ruler's monster charged Syrus and struck him directly making the light blue haired boy fall to his knees in exhaustion and defeat as his life point dropped to below a thousand.
Jeanne de Arc's Life points: 2100
Syrus Truesdale's Life points: 600
"Now Victoria" Ruler spoke to the Dragon riding monster she had "please I implore you to finish this." She requested as the dragon riding monster charged Syrus striking him with her staff making him fall onto his rear as Syrus lost the last eight hundred of his life points.
Jeanne de Arc's Life points: 2100
Syrus Truesdale's Life points: 0
"Damn" Jaden swore under his breath "and Syrus almost had a turnaround as well, but it was a nice game I guess, save for the fact that she had to ask Sy as to some of her cards effects" it was clear that Jaden had been hoping Syrus would win but didn't hold it against Ruler.
"It's like facing some as lucky as Jaden" Bastion murmured "only that she is" here the Ra yellow paused unsure of how he should finish this observation. "Only that she is completely new to the game in as a whole" he decided on saying the real truth of the matter.
"Well a wins a win" Alexis said with a relieved sigh glad that this was done and dusted, truthfully she was afraid for Syrus as the Heroic Spirit may have taken offence to being defeated by anyone in general. Though Hakuno had tried to assure them that Ruler would not.
"Still I know like actually having Luck which will has a real effect on things feels a little off putting mam" Hassleberry said honestly. The dino soldier's eyes looked Jeanne de Arc for a moment before he relented and stopped "things like that just don't feel right" he stated. Now the dino soldier looked at Hakuno. "if Hakuno here had to face people on this sort of level then he surely must be skilled to come out on top" her didn't mention luck here because he firmly believed that it would take more than just that to face the likes of a Heroic Spirit.
"Still" Chazz said softly to himself "has to be some form chemistry between the two of them" the Slifer's eyes moving back and forth between Ruler and the Syrus "that or the Ojama's have finally succeeded in their quest to drive me bat shit crazy to think this" he added. It was then Chazz noticed something was missing. The Slifer red had not been harassed by the Ojama trio recently, this left him to wonder where the hell those three mutants had got to. It was then that Chazz recalled a certain golden Duel Spirit that he knew where they were.
With said Ojama trio they were running for their lives screaming their hearts out with tears falling from their eyes as they ran to avoid weapons of legend that were shot at them from golden portals. Gil laughed at their plight, "yes" the King of Heroes stated "yes, scream in those annoying voices of yours" he demanded sending more attacks their way "I want you to give me a real reason to kill all of you" Gil told them. "None of you will rest until I am satisfied with your pain, you filth, not even worth calling mongrels" Gil stated a manic gleam in the King of Heroes slitted crimson eyes. For their part the Ojamas kept on screaming and running, it was unclear whether or not if they had heard Gil speak but that didn't really matter too much as the trio were doing as he had bidden them and were running for their lives while the King of Heroes laughed at their struggle, little did they know but Gil was merely using this as a ruse, he had sensed one of the other Heroic Spirits that had come here with new group probing around and wondered if his activities would draw her attention to him.
"Well" Pegasus stated breaking the silence that had come about directly after Jeanne de Arc's duel had ended. "That was enlightening to say the least" the creator of the modern Duel Monster System said though he was just trying to start up the discussion they had been in.
"That" Seto said looking at Ruler through the screen "that was a lot of shit" Kaiba swore showing how serious he took it all, though it may have been due to his own personal experience in this area, like his first ever defeat to Yugi Moto. This no doubt reminded Kaiba of it. "The luck she has is ridiculous, not even Yugi could pull off a stunt like this one his first time duelling without even knowing what some of his own cards do" Kaiba snarled it seemed that the head of Kaiba Corp was taking this in a very serious manner given that comparison.
Pegasus contemplated telling Kaiba that unlike her Yugi didn't have special powers to get those cards and was actually just born lucky or given what happened to him in his life also unlucky that he was able to keep on duelling, given the certain situations Yugi Moto had been forced into due to Duel Monsters Pegasus considered some of that bad luck, also it was not all Yugi Moto, he had did have some help. "Yes, I know interesting in deed Kaiba boy" Pegasus mused "but at least we've distracted her for the time being a small victory in itself."
This seemed to get the desired effect As Kaiba managed to restrain his anger about this as he took that piece of information in. "Yes it is" he agreed "but that doesn't mean he have much time before Duel Academy makes all of the Shadow games three look like a friendly chat between good friends" Kaiba said to him. "we can't have that sort of destruction with the students or even ourselves around" he stated earning a nod from Pegasus. "Also from what she has said I have no doubt that Ruler will go and confront these other Heroic Spirits later."
It was clear from his concerned expression that this was a very large issue to two of them were dealing with, that and both men knew that despite this they were in over their heads, but this was not something either could overlook, at least with people still at Duel Academy.
"You have the right of it Kaiba boy" Pegasus agreed with a tired sigh, fortunately right now the other Heroic Spirits that came here shortly before the Maid of Orleans have yet to do anything, though I guess that they are just biding their time for the moment" the man stated. It was clear for the time being that this other group of Heroic Spirits were mostly content to wait, but wait for what, that was the question that was troubling the minds of the two men. Perhaps they intended to wait out the evens with the Society of Light, only time would tell.
Sartorius was tired, the day had been a long one and he was not quite up to dealing with the 'D' tonight. No instead he retired to the more luxurious (Chazz's) part of the Slifer red dorm for the evening and tried his hand with his tarot wafers again, yielding the same results. Suppressing a cry of frustration and animal like rage at this the soothsayer settled for grumbling to himself about what he would do to the person responsible for this. Some of the things weren't even possible but it did make him feel better, enough to regain his composure. Gathering up his cards Sartorius looked at the card that resembled a cherry blossom in the vaguest sense, the one he believed to be responsible for all of this given it being a new addition that stuck with his tarot wafers no matter what he had done to remove or even dispose of it. "I will find you" the soothsayer promised with malign intent and when I do, I will make you wish you were never born. Ironically he had still not noticed the second addition to the tarot wafers that had appeared with the first. Nor did he know that neither of the individuals he was seeking had never been born, Sartorius would have actually been concerned if he had, given that certain individuals who were aligned or in another case hopelessly in love with one of the individuals had heard him. Or that if he continued his life would be very short.
Still if it gave Sartorius any comfort, if he knew what was in store for the 'D' it would make any fate he suffered be preferable to that. As for the 'D' he was currently back on his cruise ship sipping some wine, pretending that he was more than just another thief and a murderer. After all what else was he, the 'D' was no good Duellist, sure he had helped Aster but that was just with the Basixs, it was Sartorius who had thought the young Aster Phoenix how to read the flow of Duels and how he could control them by manipulating his opponents and getting them to play right into his hands. No the only reason the 'D' held any power was not because he was the first to be shown the light, but because he held the card that had brought the light into this world, that needed to change and change soon and Sartorius knew it.
Archer of the Red, Atalanta, the Chaste Huntress had finally been able to convince Shirou Kotomine to let her scout the area as long as she promised not to engage any Servants and if Ruler had by some chance been able to arrive here by now to steer well away from the Maid of Orleans for the time being. This did not sit well with the Chaste Huntress, neither did it sit well with Achilles who was itching for a fight, but Atalanta had more benign reasons for not wanting to stay still, from she ad seen of this society of light they were true monsters. Something that should be stopped, not waited out like they were doing, Archer of the Red noted that her master had not forbade her from taking out members of said society, only from killing them, which was something the Chaste Huntress could agree on given that, said members were just people being controlled by whatever force empowers the light. Atalanta though had a more personal reason to want to take them down, it was the location of where they were. From what she had gathered this place was a place of learning where children had gathered to build their futures. That is the impression she got from their captive, what made Atalanta wish to take action was the fact that this Society of Light had chosen to come here to pick up it's newest members, a cunning move if a very craven and sick one.
"I dislike those who hurt children the most" Atalanta said to herself quietly as she walked around the forest, managing to avoid the traps that had been set there most likely by another servant, a pragmatic one though he would have had to have been famous for it, to be this good. Atalanta herself had received mercy as a child as such it tied in with her wish, which was why she could participate in a Grail War. She had come to the edge of this clearing as she had briefly sensed the power of Heroic Spirit here, while Archer of the Red would choose to not engage this Servant even it meant taking them down and saving trouble in the future. Shirou Kotomine could be rather cruel to those who chose to deliberately disobey him if there were other options available to them at that point it time. Still she had to be careful as she was 'treading on thin ice here' Kotomine would not hesitate to use a command seal as he had threatened Rider with use of one if Heroisms Immortal Man acted out again. Though the Chaste huntress wouldn't mind seeing one used on Caster, the thought of the famous playwright being unable to perform his usual antics did bring a small smile to Atalanta's face for a moment. Reaching the edge of the clearing Arhcer of the Red found it empty and deviod of anything interesting Sighing at this Archer of the Red then decided to speak "I still believe this whole thing with Saver is a hoax" the Chaste Huntress muttered as silently as she could "something like that was to good to be true" she reasoned. "As such to even consider it shows the depths of desperation in ones soul, now that is true folly I believe"
"You and me both" a snide and cynical voice replied from nearby. While a normal human would not have been able to find the owner of said voice even in life Atalanta had never been defined by the term normal 'normal'. Being a Huntress of Artemis ensured that in itself. Archer of the Red brought her Bow upon a man dressed in green wearing a dark green cloak and hood, he was sitting in a comfortable position on a tree branched, at first glance he looked relaxed, but Atalanta didn't need a second look to know that his crossbow was trained on her, ready to shoot at a moments notice. "Easy there" the other Heroic Spirit said to the Chaste Huntress, "If I wanted to attack I would have sprung the traps you walked into while you were avoiding some of the other ones I set" he explained in a blunt matter of fact tone.
This statement visibly vexed Atalanta, the fact that he dared to insinuate that she had fallen for any of his traps was infuriating, it was then that Archer of the Red realised what she was doing and forced herself to calm down immediately, she would need a level head for this. "Why have you set up all of those traps?" she asked him "is it some vain attempt to trim our numbers if we were to assault you in your base of operations?" she accused "that or is your master such a coward that he would resort to such filthy measures to defeat his foes."
If this was supposed to bait the other Archer he didn't take it "While most of the Master's I have served find some of my talents distasteful and not befitting of a Heroic Spirit, but fortunately my current one agreed if only to protect the students that lodge and learn here" the other Archer explained. "Now as to you, you could say that I was more akin to a casual observer" he offered one who was in the right place at the right time, to in my point of view, the wrong place at the wrong time" he explained in a tired and rather disillusioned tone.
Atalanta's eyes narrowed at what he mean but then they widened as she felt a presence forming behind her. Turning around the Chaste Huntress saw golden motes of light come together to reveal a golden figure with fiery blonde hair and slitted crimson eyes. He stood there looking down at her with an air of arrogance that not even Jason the leader of the Argonauts held, unlike Jason this Heroic Spirit didn't have any Divine favour looking out for him, no this man's arrogance came wholly from within, his confidence in his own power. This either made him a very foolish person or a very dangerous one, perhaps if Archer was a Lancer with their infamous ranking in luck this Servant may have been both options. "Well then filth" the man addressed her, Shall we get started?" he asked rhetorically in a very mocking tone.
Omake-A song of Gilgamesh (and Hakuno) in Westeros
Hakunno and Gil were surrounded armed men, each had their spear or swords pointed at the duo. Behind them stood a youth with blonde hair and green eyes, more importantly he wore a crown on his head while possessing and sadistic smile on his face. "So" the youth began "As you can see I have you at my mercy, so is there anything you plebeians would like to say to your king?" he asked. Where the idiot had got the idea that he was a king not to mention theirs was beyond Hakuno who looked at Gil to see the Heroic Spirit's reaction.
The King of Heroes just laughed cruelly and richly Hakuno raised an eyebrow as this meant that Gil was thoroughly displeased with what he had just heard. In short he was going to kill everyone, beside Hakuno. But that didn't make it automatically better, since he was about to go on a killing spree. Gil's laughter died down "You my king, Mongrel that is a joke told in poor taste" he informed the youth and his guards. "I am the only Hero King of Humanity" said king declared as his Golden armour appeared on him in golden motes of light. "Any others who claim to be a king are just mongrels, dog" he told the now enraged youth. "The entire world is my garden, and you have tried to claim what is mine" Gil now opened his eyes with a look that could kill a thousand times over "And then you claim to me the king that you are my king, your pain shall be legendary" the King of Heroes shouted as a single portal to the Gate of Babylon opened and sent a nameless spear into the youths leg, sending him backwards and forcing him to the ground screaming in pain, it seemed he was weak.
The Guards all turned to look at the worthless piece of shit "your majesty" one shouted in concern while another shouted "King Joffery" naming the fiend that Gil had just wounded. It as disgraceful as it took them several more moments to turn back to Hakuno and Gil.
Before any of them could raise their spears their attention was caught by the scream of a woman "Joffery" a woman dressed in red and gold with blonde hair and green eyes, who was without a doubt his mother rushed to his side and began barking for someone to treat him.
"Such confidence in ones own beauty" Gilgamesh snarled in disgust "So like her, taking whatever she wants and making others pay the consequence." fixing the entire guards around them with a stern glare he ordered "Kill her, her presence offends me and she is most vile."
Now while most people would think he was insane for even attempting most people didn't know that Gil's ranking in Charisma was so ridiculously high that if he ordered you to do something it felt like you were given a divine compulsion to obey him and couldn't refuse. So while it may have been a rather shocking and horrible surprise for anyone else watching besides Hakuno and Gil when the guards all turned and walked to Jofferey's mother and then began to systematically spear her. Despite her protests killing her in a most cruel way.
While this occurred Gil decided that he and Hakuuno should leave, as the King of Heroes was often to do he did so in style, calling out Vimana for the two of them to step onto, once they were a good distance away GIl turned to Hakuno and spoke "Well when I said I would be teaching you how to enjoy life that is not what I meant" the King of Heroes informed the former NPC. Taking out Ea the Sword of Rupture Gilgamesh raised it high. "Awaken Ea, a world that does not deserve my presence has been found" he intoned "Purge the Evil before me Enuma Elsih!" the King of Heroes commanded as the world was rent asunder.
Vevian Crowler sat in his office and dropped the coffee he had been drinking "What?" he demanded "They end the series just like that?" It seemed that he was very angry about this "how could they? They know nothing?"
It appeared that in their endeavors Hakuno and Gilgamesh had ruined a TV series on HBO without realising it, the directors had no explanation for what just happened only that they had not shot it like that during the filming of that episode. If Gil had known this he would have laughed.

ATK: 2300

SO yeah Syrus lost the Duel but as you can see he did come close to winning, but I decided it would have a bigger impact on the cast if he was beaten than if he won, sure Jeanne is a Heroic Spirit and She is the Maid of Orleans and all that but that doesn't help her in a game of Yugioh. The only thing that helped her was her luck and Charisma along with her good looks if you consider how nervous Syrus was whenever she spoke to him him or smiled at him. Still her high ranking in luck which like Saber's is high enough so that the Hound of Ulster cannot oneshot her with his cursed spear so drawing the right cards wasn't that big of a deal, though the cast did notice it.
Once again thankyou for reading this chapter if you have any ideas you would like to share or any feedback that you would like to give please feel free to leave a review or PM me. Though As always I will say that a review is more appreciated as it is easier for me to reference when I am writing the next chapter and has me with less tabs open.
Actually completely unrelated on the 11th when I was coming back from work at the bus stop there seemed to a be gathering of youths, all tough looking and the like, I was wondering what the hell they would be doing at ten thirty in the night as there was a security camera outside the Bustop so it didn't make much sense why they were all here, if they were up to no good they were well within the camera's vision. So anyway I was waiting for another fifteen minutes until a considerable crowd had gathered. Then as a one they all stoop up from where they had been sitting or leaning and marched out in force, pretty creepy I must say. As they were walking I heard hushed whispers among some of the groups members, turns out they were searching for the mew rumoured to be in the area. At first I was like Mew? What the hell is gown on her a Pokemon battle, but where are their DS's? Then I looked at where their hands were and I saw that they all had their phones out, looks like they were playing Pokemon GO. Talk about a let down or relief depending on how you look at it. Still that does remind me I haven't beaten the League in Alpha Saphire so I best go and do that at some point. Grand Orderi s addicting but unfortunately for me it continues stuffing up on my phone. Dam it when arethye going to release a version in english?
Anyways I hope you enjoyed this chapter until next time.
