Hannah was running through the ruins, she could sense Raven was close. Hannah stopped and looked around. "Where is he?!" she said to herself. Hannah continued to look around, she heard the sound of bullets firing from nearby. Hannah knew Raven used Army monsters which sounded the same as the noise she was hearing, she made her way in that direction.
Hannah saw Raven in his torn cloak, controlling a Army was dueling a person in ragged clothing, a resident of the Light World. Raven commanded an attack as the bullets reigned onto the resident, making him lose. The Resident fell to the floor as Raven walked over to him and pulled him up via his shirt. "Tell me where your world teleporter is? I know each World has one!"
"I... don't know!" yelled the Resident, shaking with fear.
"Then you are no use." said Raven, as a dark hole appeared under the resident. The resident shaked in fear. Hannah quickly ran over to Raven, catching him by surprise. Hannah pushed Raven to the floor, making the Resident drop to the floor just seconds after the dark hole disappeared. The Resident looked up and ran away, Raven looked at Hannah. "You. Rachel's clone."
"What are you thinking Raven?!" yelled Hannah. "Have you killed anyone else?!"
Raven got back up and dusted off his clothes. "No. I have been wondering around these last few days trying to find a world teleporter. I told you days ago to leave me alone. I wasn't going to kill him, just as a threat."
"Your on our team Raven, I won't let you just wander off. I know you want to get to the Fire World and save Rachel, and get revenge on them for killing Redemption. This isn't the way to do it!" said Hannah.
Raven chuckled. "What do you know about Redemption? You was a experiment, designed to get close to the Kings by Rachel." Raven replied.
"Even so. That was my home planet aswell, and theres only two of us. There is only two of us left with the Universes power inside, waiting to be reborn."
"The Universe. That's the whole issue. I was never told that killing the King's would bring the Universe back because the Elder knew I would think it's a bad idea. I was told the King's would bring the universe to it's knees and make people suffer! I didn't know most of the Kings would be good people. I wouldn't have done all that if I had know we were trying to reborn some stupid entity." replied Raven.
"We don't know what this entity is yet." said Hannah.
"It created this whole mess, splitting the elements of living into five. It created darkness then had to seal the oringal King's away. It then tried to stop darkness all together by hiding Malik's powers. Whatever this entity is, it's doing more harm then good! And I won't dance to it's tune anymore!" said Raven. "On Redemption, everyone but me knew the truth about the Universe. That means Rachel's believes in something I don't. And we never disagree over anything." said a now depressed Raven. Raven activated his brown duel disk.
Hannah activated her green duel disk. "Fine. We will sort this out in a duel!"
Turn 1
Raven LP: 4000 Hand: 5
Hannah LP: 4000 Hand: 5
"I will teach you for coming to find me. I told you I would kill you if you found me, and I will do just that! First I play I play the continuous spell card, Bullet Storm! Next I summon Army Marskman!"
Army Marksman ATK: 1000 DEF: 400 LVL 3 Earth/Warrior
"When Marksman is summoned, all Army monsters gain 400 ATK points!" Marksman grew slightly larger as the monster in uniform increased it's ATK points.
Marksman ATK: 1400
"Next I play Bullet Storm's effect, each time a Army monster has it's ATK increased, the amount increased is taken from your lifepoints! So take 400 points of damage!" yelled Raven, pointing at Hannah. Army Marksman took aim and fired his gun at Hannah, spraying her with bullets.
Hannah LP: 4000 - 3600
"I end my turn with a set card." said Raven as his set card appeared on the field.
Raven Gage: 0 - 3 (Summon, ATK Increase, Effect)
Turn 2
Raven LP: 4000 Hand: 2
Hannah LP: 3600 Hand: 5
"Guess I need to knock some sense into you! I draw!" yelled Hannah.
"I summon my Outlaw Billy to the field!" A outlaw on a brown horse came galloping onto the field.
Outlaw Billy ATK:1200 DEF:800 LVL 3 Earth/Warrior
"It's effect allows me to add one LVL 5 or 6 Outlaw from my deck! I add my Outlaw Butch to my hand." Hannah added the card from her deck to her hand. "Next I play the spell Outlaw Appear! I pay half of my lifepoints to special summon another Outlaw from my hand! I special summon Outlaw Ace!"
Hannah LP: 3600 - 1800
Outlaw Ace ATK:2000 DEF: 1400 LVL 6 Earth/Warrior
"Now I attack! Outlaw Ace wipe out his Marksman!" Outlaw Ace galloped on his horse, as he fired his gun at Marksman, destroying it. Raven felt the blast, as his ripped cloak rattled in the wind.
Raven LP: 4000 - 3400
"Now attack directly Billy!" Outlaw Billy this time targeted Raven with his gun and fired it. Raven took the hit once more as he fell to the ground.
Raven LP: 3400 - 2200
"When Ace destroys a monster, the amount of damage you took is then used to increase my lifepoints, which is 600!"
Hannah LP: 1800 - 2500
"Not bad." said a smug Raven. "But my move is better, I play my trap! Mixed Day! Any amount of damage I took this turn is added up, next all monsters on your field are banished whose ATK is equal or less then that amount, and I can special summon a Army monster from my deck with ATK equal or less aswell! I took 1800 points of damage! So your Billy is banished!" Outlaw Billy disappeared from the field as Raven added a monster from his deck. "I special summon another Marksman!"
Army Marksman ATK: 1000 DEF: 400 LVL 3 Earth/Warrior
"As you saw before Hannah, when it is summoned it gain's 400 ATK, and my bullet storm card activates again!" Hannah looked on and braced herself as Marksman appeared and more bullets rained down on her once more.
Marksman ATK: 1400
Hannah LP: 2500 - 2100
Raven Gage: 3 - 6 (ATK Increase, Summon, Effect)
"Fine. I set two cards and end there." replied Hannah.
Turn 3
Raven LP: 2200 Hand: 3 Gage: 6
Hannah LP: 2100 Hand: 2
"I draw!" shouted Raven.
Hannah looked at herself. She looked at her green tanktop and looked slowly up her left arm, she saw the black armband she was wearing, the same armband she got from Raven back on Redemption. "Raven, without Rachel I was dying. I needed a the DNA of a Redemption person in me to keep me alive and you gave up some of your own DNA to keep me alive. You did that for me!"
"And I don't deny that." reponded Raven. "We were a team, and I did trust everyone one of you guys. However after knowing what the Elder did, knowing he used me. He never told me why I was hunting the Kings, he let everyone else know expect me because he knew I was too nice to believe the truth! I can't trust anyone now!" he yelled back.
"But that's good Raven. You know your a decent person!" replied Hannah.
"I know. But there's no trust left in me! No one uses me! I summon Army Pilot!"
Army Pilot ATK: 800 DEF: 600 LVL 3 Earth/Warrior/Foundation
"Once per turn I can special summon a Army monster from my grave which is LVL 4 or below, reappear my first Marksman!"
Army Marksman ATK: 1000 DEF: 400 LVL 3 Earth/Warrior
"His effect activates once more, rising my monsters ATK by 400 and don't forget my Bullet Storm spell!"
Marksman ATK: 1400
Marksman ATK: 1800
Pilot ATK: 1200
"He increased three of his monsters ATK? Damnit." thought Hannah, as Bullet Storm once again fired out bullets, hitting Hannah on the chest. The impact made her fall to her knees.
Hannah LP: 2100 - 900
Raven Gage: 6 - 13 (Summon X 2, ATK Increase X 3, Effect X 2)
"That isn't all. I play the spell card Growth Zero! All monster monsters ATK drops to zero, however I gain counters equal to each monsters LVL!"
Pilot Marksman Marksman ATK: 0
"All my monsters LVL's are three! So I gain nine!" said Raven as his counter went up.
Raven Gage: 13 - 22
"I pay four counters to grow my Pilot!" Four orange lights faded from Raven's duel disk. The lights surrounded the Army Pilot, as he flew his plane into the circle.
Raven Gage: 22 - 18
"I Growth Summon, Gage LVL 4 Army Major!" The monster came out of the orange circle, it was a humanoid, with a green jacket, and a black military hat. It had a black rifle.
Army Major ATK: 2400 DEF: 2000 Gage LVL 4 Earth/Warrior/Foundation
"Growth Summoning." said Raven with a monotoned voice. "This was created by the Fire World, and the orinigal King Malik used them to corrupt everyone expect the Fire World to start a war. Then the Universe interfered..." Said Raven clenching his fist.
"Raven-"
"No." Raven snapped at Hannah. "You don't know what life was on Redemption. We was raised to kill the five Kings. We were taught about how the Universe was our god. We were the planet to stop the corrupt Kings and save the five worlds from their wrath." Raven looked at Hannah and saw Rachel instead.
Hannah knew what Raven was seeing. "Raven, Rachel is out there we can save her."
Raven smirked. "You know nothing about Rachel. Even though you was cloned from her, and you had her soul inside of you. All of that means nothing. Rachel was something special to me. She wasn't always filled with bad intentions."
Flashback - Redemption - 2 Years before Rachel attacked the Fire World
A young girl with black hair and red highlights in a black tank top was walking with a male wearing a black hoodie and black hair, both had red eyes. It was a young Rachel and Raven. They were in a small town. They were both happy.
"Training went well today!" said a enthusiastic Rachel, as her hands glowed in a dark aura.
"Yes!" said Raven. "Those Kings will be long gone soon. The Old Kings perished and the reborn Kings will soon be gone."
The pair stopped as they looked at each other. "Yes. The Universe lost it's power and disappeared so now it's down to us to stop the Kings." she replied with a sad tone.
"What is it Rachel?" said Raven.
"You know the Elder forbids anyone on Redemption being friends Raven. He wants everyone focused on killing the five King's and that's it." Rachel spoke.
"Well if any of the guards come we can use our power. We have roughly the same power as the Kings. Im sure we can fight them off." he said with a bold tone.
"Raven we have known each other for a long time now. There's something... something everyone is hiding from you." Rachel tried to say.
Raven looked bemused and surprised. "What? Whose hiding what?"
"Well the Elde-" Before Rachel could finish her sentence a group of guards came and surrounded the two. They had black uniforms and the typical Redemption red eyes.
"You two! Stop there!" demanded a guard. "You known relationships are banned!"
Raven stepped infront of Rachel, trying to guard her. "Well you will need to go through me! I don't know why we can't be friends. It won't stop our mission as peacekeepers of killing the Kings!" Rachel looked sad as she knew she had to keep the true reason of killing the King's away from Raven.
"We don't make the rules. We just enforce them! Don't try and teleport, we will find you anywhere you go!" the guard replied.
"Fine!" Raven had a duel disk appeared on his arm after raising it into the sky. The rest of the guards all raised their arms and have duel disk's appear on there arm. "Let's duel then!" Rachel looked on with an annoyed tone.
"Sorry Raven. But I was the one who started talking to you!" Rachel touched Raven and made him teleport. Raven couldn't even speak a word before Rachel got rid of him. Rachel then gained a duel disk on her arm. "Fine then boys! Let's have you!"
Flashback End
Raven in the present looked sad. "Rachel of course lost that day. She was taken back and I was later caught. We were kept separate for two years. By then Rachel had become more sadistic and harsh. She went on her mission to the Fire World and then of course she got stuck in your body on the Dark World. I still haven't been able to see her for a long time. She got took back to the Fire World. That thing she tried to tell me... Everyone on Redemption knew they had to kill the Kings to reborn the Universe, I believed that the King's were truly evil even before I gave them all a chance. The Elder knew I wouldn't agree to such a thing, so I was fed lies. Rachel changed."
"So you and Rachel really are close." said Hannah. "I have some of her memories, but not all. Look Raven, Rachel may believe the wrong thoughts and she may not recognize me as real. But I won't give up on her! I ask you not to give up on your team because of a misguided Elder!"
"Sorry Hannah. I know you mean well, but I am a man of my word and I will kill you! End this Major!" roared Raven as Major took aim at Hannah. While she was in his sights, he pulled the trigger. The bullet shot out, heading right towards her.
"Im sorry too Raven. I play my trap Outlaw Stand Off! When I have lower lifepoints then my opponent and im being attacked then I can negate one attack! Then I can special summon one Outlaw monster with ATK points from my deck with less the my current lifepoints! I have 900!" The bullet which was about to hit Hannah faded as Raven gritted his teeth. "Appear Outlaw Brick in DEF mode!"
Outlaw Brick ATK: 500 DEF: 200 LVL 2 Earth/Warrior
"Fine, but I play the quick play spell! Emergency Aim! I tribute one of my Army monsters, then another Army monster can attack once more this turn! I tribute one of my Marksman and attack again with Major!" The Major took aim at Hannah as Marksman was tributed. He pulled the trigger and another bullet came towards Hannah.
"I play my other trap! The continuous trap, Outlaw Defense! While I control a face up Outlaw monster, I can pay 400 lifepoints each time I am attacked or targeted for effect damage I can negate it instead!" Another bullet faded from sight as Hannah took the effect damage from her card.
Hannah LP: 900 - 500
"Talk about lucky. I end my turn." said Raven.
"It's not luck Raven! I think it's Rachel... Even though she isn't here, she lives on within me! And I know she wouldn't want this!"
"You said it yourself! Rachel hates you! How could you say she wouldn't want this!" replied Raven.
"Because I believe she is just like you! I know you don't want to kill me and I know deep down she does have some feeling for me!" Raven refused to reply.
Turn 4
Raven LP: 2200 Hand: 1 Gage: 18
Hannah LP: 500 Hand: 2
"He still has eighteen counters. He could have used his Advanced Growth monster. Why didn't he." thought Hannah. "I draw!"
"I play my Polymerization!" said Hannah with enthusiasm.
"Your still going on. Even though you have 500 lifepoints." replied Raven.
"Yes. But I was programmed to live life on the edge! And that's what I enjoy! I fuse my Brick with my Butch in my hand!" Brick and Butch flew into a orange and blue whirlpool which spun around at fast speed. "Appear! Outlaw Starr!" The monster wore a cowboy vest, with a golden belt.
Outlaw Starr ATK: 2500 DEF: 2200 LVL 7 Earth/Warrior/Fusion
"When he is Fusion summoned, I gain 1000 more lifepoints!" Hannah glowed as her lifepoints increased from her monsters effect.
Hannah LP: 500 - 1500
"Also when Starr is Fusion summoned, I can add one Outlaw Spell card from my deck to my hand, as long as it has Outlaw in it's name or text! I add the spell card Gamble! And now I play it! If I control a Outlaw monster and I have less then three cards in my hand, by paying half of my lifepoints, I can draw three new cards!" Hannah added the three new cards to her hand as she took the damage.
Hannah LP: 1500 - 750
"Nothing in here to help me." thought Hannah. "I attack your Major with my Starr!" yelled Hannah. Starr pulled out his gun and aimed at it Major. The Outlaw pulled it and destroyed the Major. Raven watched as he lost 100 lifepoints.
Raven LP: 2200 - 2100
"I set a card and end my turn." said Hannah.
Turn 5
Raven LP: 2100 Hand: 1 Gage: 18
Hannah LP: 750 Hand: 3
"Then I draw!" yelled Raven.
"Raven why didn't you use your Advanced Growth! If your going to face me at least play to your full potential!" demanded Hannah.
Raven taken by surprised from Hannah's remarks. "I... I forgot that's all!"
"Raven you don't need to act tough all the time." said Hannah. "I know you don't want to kill me. I understand how annoyed you feel at being used. I felt angry when I learnt I wasn't a real human being, but I was able to get around it thanks to my friends!
"How can I trust anyone?!" yelled Raven in response.
"Because you just have to give us a chance. Raven you have had a life filled with lies and being kept behind closed doors with not being able to make new friends. It's okay to admit your feeling scared and afraid. You gave me some of your DNA to keep me alive, now please let me return the favour. Just come back to us. I know deep down your just angry and don't know how to vent it other then to just threaten us."
Raven closed his red eyes and looked at Hannah, he smirked. "You might not be Rachel but you are as smart as she was. All this effort to get me back, all the talking and kindness you guys have given me. I have never felt like this before. Why? Why give all that to me?"
"Because deep down we know you are a good guy Raven and we care." replied Hannah.
Raven let off a odd smile, something which he rarely does. "Thank you... And I'm sorry." Raven went to deactivate his duel disk before being interrupted by Hannah.
"No! We still have a duel!" said Hannah. "Now show me your best!"
"Fine." said Raven. "I play the spell Monster Reborn!" Raven showed the classic spell card in his hand. "Return to the field Army Major!" Major returned to the field as he aimed his gun at Hannah. "I regrow my monster by paying four more counters!" Raven's gage counter turned to red lights and shot out around Major. "Since this card is a Growth monster, I don't gain any counters!"
Raven Gage: 18 - 14
"Advanced Growth summon! Army Sergeant!" A tall Army figure came out of the red circle, it had medals and a long gun.
Army Sergeant ATK: 3000 DEF: 2000 Gage LVL 8 Earth/Warrior/Advance Growth
"I use one of his main effects. When he is summoned I can destroy all cards on the field expect my Sergeant!" Hannah felt a gust as her monster and set card were wiped from the field. She grinned at the fact Raven had returned to normal. "I pay five counters! Now my monsters ATK goes up by the amount each destroyed monster on the field had!"
Raven Gage: 14 - 9
Sergeant ATK: 6500
"Now end this Sergeant!" yelled Raven as his monster took aim at Hannah and pulled it's trigger.
"Nice move Raven. But I can still play cards from the hand! Remember I can only play this while I control no cards! If I have less then 1000 lifepoints I can play this from my hand! I play the trap Shared Pain! If I control no other cards then this one I can reduce my lifepoints to 1. Then I negate the attack then my opponent takes the battle damage instead!
Hannah LP: 750 - 1
"One lifepoint? You really do take a gamble." Raven smiled as the bullet instead switched from Hannah to Raven, as Raven took the damage and fell to the floor.
Raven LP: 2100 - 0 Hannah Wins
Hannah ran over to Raven and helped him back up from the floor. Raven dusted down his torn cloak. "Sorry Raven." Hannah said. "I know you like winning."
"Don't be sorry for winning. Plus I have already won today, thanks to you. Making me see sense." replied Raven.
Hannah smiled back. "Yes. Now let's go and find Malik aswell as the others. Then we can start to truly plan to save Rachel.
Next Time: Malik and Harry's teams join forces to infiltrate Marco's slavery camp.
