Ulrich362: Well the counterattack on XANA has begun.

bopdog111: What will he do after Blood Shepherd was free?

Ulrich362: Nothing good.

bopdog111: Well let's see.

Ulrich362: Makes sense to me, enjoy the chapter.

Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS or Code Lyoko but we own the OCs!


The Lyoko Warriors were talking until they noticed Kengo walking over.

"Is that him?" Sissi asked.

"That's Blood Shepherd alright. Also known as Kengo Dojun." Garrett explained.

"Alright, then who should go next?" Odd asked.

"Just what exactly is going on?" Kengo asked removing his glasses, and scarf.

"It's a long story." Ulrich answered.

"Then what is the short version?" Kengo asked.

"The Ignis are the victims and Lightning was scared so out of fear he did a lot of things he shouldn't have including turn an evil computer program called XANA into an Ignis and he's kidnapping and brainwashing people possibly to kill us and destroy the world." Yumi answered.

"So that was the black Ignis." Kengo said hearing that.

"Yes." Lightning nodded solemnly.

"Then we should work to exterminate it. And after that we will be enemies once more." Kengo warned them.

"... Then just destroy me now." Lightning told him.

"Except I won't let him do that." Jin told him.

"I deserve it." Lightning pointed out.

"No you don't." Ai told him, "You just want to live, and exist no biggie."

"That doesn't excuse my crimes... what I did to Aelita and Windy in particular." Lightning pointed out.

"You didn't do anything to Aelita though." Odd told him.

"She's in XANA's hands because of me." Lightning told him. "Everything that's happened is my fault."

"But you can fix it." Jeremy told him, "Not alone."

Suddenly Kolter gasped.

"Kolter?" Yusaku asked.

"I see another one." Kolter explained.

"Who is it?" Yumi asked before looking.

They looked to see it was Haru.

"Wait, nobody's prepared for him." Ulrich frowned.

"He's my mentor." Bohman told them.

"Can you beat him?" William asked.

"I don't have my Deck." Bohman answered.

"Then who?" Odd asked.

"Let me." Jin told them.

"Jin?" Kolter asked in shock.

"You, and Yusaku done most of the work for us. And now it's my turn." Jin told him.

"... be careful." Kolter told him.

Jin nodded before walking in.

"Into the VRAINS!" Jin called.


In Link VRAINS...

Balder appeared looking around. He noticed Haru racing past on a Duel Board.

"Haru!" Balder called.

He turned to him.

"I'm your opponent!" Balder told him.

Haru activated his Duel Disk. Balder got his own ready.

"I hope he knows what he's doing." Ulrich admitted.

"DUEL!"

The monster flew to the bottom marker.

"Shine, I thought it was just Burn, Flow, Coolant, and Grand." Balder frowned.

Balder drew his card and smiled. "I start with Solar Recharge."

"I set two cards and one monster in defense mode to end my turn." Balder said calmly.

"Once a turn, I move a Link Monster to a Main Monster Zone it points too." Haru said as Shine moved.

"That can only mean one thing." Balder frowned.

"Now appear, the three arrows that judge the world. I play the Link Spell, Judgement Arrows!" Haru called as a Judgement Arrows appeared.

Balder frowned seeing that.

"Now I summon Hydradrive Booster two." Haru said as the monster appeared. "And now appear the circuit of truth!"

The circuit appeared as he called, "The summoning conditions is 1 Hydradrive! I set Booster in the Link Marker!"

The monster flew to the bottom marker.

"Link Summon, Link 1! Shine Hydradrive!"

A second shine appeared. Balder frowned. "Not good."

"Shine attack his face-down!" Haru called as Shine glowed. (ATK: 1000 x 2 = 2000)

The monster was revealed to be a dog.

"When Ryko, Lightsworn Hunter is flipped face-up one card is destroyed and I send the top three cards of my deck to the graveyard. I destroy Judgement Arrows!" Balder called.

Haru watched as the two struck him.


Balder: 3000

Haru: 0000

Balder wins the duel!


An aura went around him as he blinked losing XANA's symbol blinking.

"How are you feeling?" Balder asked before suddenly crying out as his avatar vanished in a pink glow.

"W-What just happened?" Haru said sitting up rubbing his head.

A black figure approached him. "You did your task perfectly Haru."

He looked over before activating his Duel Disk, "XANA!"

Suddenly someone grabbed Haru. He struggled against who done that. It was Gore as XANA floated up before placing a hand on Haru's forehead. "We're not your enemies... just calm down."

As he did that XANA's symbol appeared in Haru's eyes again before the three of them raced off.


In the Real World Earlier...

Cal sighed in relief seeing Balder won only to widen his eyes in horror seeing he vanished, "JIN!"

"That... that was Aelita's Energy Field!" Odd cried in shock.

"What's going on over there?" Garrett asked walking over with Kengo.

Jin suddenly fell from the room not moving. Yusaku ran to him, "Jin! Wake up Jin!"

He wasn't responding but Ai, Flame, Windy, Aqua, Earth, and Lightning suddenly received a message. At that they looked it up.

"It wasn't a bad idea to try and snap those weaklings out of my control... but it won't happen a second time. If you attempt it your minds will be destroyed just like Jin Kolter's. Of course, I can restore him for a price... kill the ones who hurt me and my "sister" and I'll return him. You have three days."

The message was from XANA.

At that the six Ignis turned to each other looking worried.

"What's with you guys?" Milly asked them.

"It's... nothing." Flame answered quietly.

"Jin come on!" Cal said shaking his brother, "You better not be playing a joke!"

"Flame..." Aqua whispered. "I know you don't trust him but they need to know."

Flame turned to her before sighing. "You're right."

"He must be unconscious." Takeru said to them, "We should get him to bed."

"That's not it." Lightning said before giving them XANA's message.

Seeing that they looked reading it as Yusaku narrowed his eyes, "Then the choice is clear. We gotta take the fight to XANA right now."

"That would be playing into his hands." William frowned.

"It may be marching straight into a trap but we don't got any other choice." Cal told him, "We have to risk this."

"How would we even find him in Link Vrains?" Yumi asked.

"I'll scout ahead, and see what I can find." Ryoken said to them walking out, "And don't worry, I can handle myself since XANA will have no effect due to being an Ignis."

"It's not XANA he needs to worry about." Yumi frowned.

"He can take care of himself." Yusaku told her, "Ryoken is no fool."

"What about us?" Odd asked.

"We wait." Yusaku answered.

"I guess it's all we can do." Ulrich frowned.


Meanwhile...

Varis was riding around looking for XANA's hideout while making sure to stay out of sight. Suddenly he noticed three Knights of Hanoi talking on a nearby roof. Not taking any chances to talk since they might be under XANA's control he passed by. Eventually he noticed a large white structure. Varis messaged them quietly, "I think, I found XANA's hideout."

His message never sent. At that he tried sending it again. Something was blocking the signal. Varis at that started to get away till he gets a signal. To his shock Specter was there waiting for him.

"Specter." Varis said seeing him.

Specter just activated his Duel Disk as XANA's symbol appeared in his eyes. Varis narrowed his eyes before saying, "Alright Specter... I'll make sure to free you from XANA's grasp!"

With that he prepared himself.

"DUEL!"

Varis stared on, 'Extra Link Full Mode...'

(A/N (bopdog111): Specter didn't get this kind of ability to get this far on his own it was mostly from XANA's control. XANA isn't one to cheat but he doesn't mind making super powerful cards.)

Specter called, "Battle! Melias' other ability activates! Trasher can now attack any number of times by the amount of Sunavalon on my field! I have 6 so it can attack six times! Thrasher attacks Gateway Dragon!"

Thrasher charged in at the Dragon.

"I activate Mirror Force!" Varis called.

"Xenux Sunseed Photosynthesis activates!" Specter called, "I discard this card to negate Mirror Force!"

Varis widen his eyes as Mirror Force dulled only for Thrasher to slash Gateway.

(Specter: 2400)

"What?" Specter asked at that.

Varis smirked, "Counterblow Dragon's ability lets me discard it, and force you to take damage instead."

"Thrasher attacks!" Specter called as Thrasher charged.

Specter's eyes widen as Thrasher shot from the other barrel slashing Specter as he cried out.


Varis: 1500

Specter: 0000

Varis wins the duel!


Varis stared on before declaring, "XANA show yourself! I know your watching!"

"Indeed, and I'm beginning to grow tired of watching these weaklings fail." XANA's voice echoed. "Then again, soon none of this will matter."

"Then why don't you come fight me yourself!" Varis declared.

"I have more details to attend to." XANA's voice told him. "If you want to duel me you'll have to come to me yourself... though I have to thank you, the Tower of Hanoi serves as the perfect blueprints for me."

Varis widen his eyes hearing that.

"Master Varis?" Specter asked before wincing.

Varis turned him before instructing, "Come on Specter. We need to go now!"

"Of course." Specter nodded.

"Find Cafe Nom." Varis said as they logged out.


A few minutes later...

Ryoken, and Specter wearing a suit walked to Cafe Nom.

"You managed to free him?" Odd asked.

"Yes but things are much more worse. I found XANA's Fortress but XANA is planning to use the Tower of Hanoi." Ryoken said grimly.

"He's what?" Yusaku questioned in shock.

"The Tower of Hanoi? What's that?" Jeremy asked.

"It was a tool we planned on using to destroy Link VRAINS before we were stopped. Though it was also intended to wipe out the Ignis, so why would XANA be using it?" Specter questioned.

Suddenly William's eyes widened in horror. "Wait... oh no!"

"William?" Yumi asked him.

"If he manages to turn that into a Tower like on Lyoko and take control of Link VRAINS... every single person could become his puppet just like I was before!" William answered.

"Now we have to stop him." Cal grunted.

"You got the help you need!" a voice called.

Who was heading over a boy that has smooth blue hair, and yellow eyes wearing a black suit, and a grin.

"Who are you?" Tamiya asked.

Ai cried cheering, "Roboppi!"

"Hey Big Bro! Done what you said before!" the boy smiled with a wink.

"Roboppi?" Yusaku asked in shock.

"Hey Master Yusaku! Like the new look?" Roboppi smiled to him.

Yusaku just stared at him. "That... how did this happen?"

"Same thing that Bohman done." Ai told him.

"Are you sure you can handle this?" Yusaku inquired. "Your program wasn't exactly the most advanced."

"I'll be alright. Big Bro made him really smart." Roboppi said with a smile.

Yusaku looked uncertain but nodded. Tamiya noticed Milly was a little red from seeing Roboppi.

"Milly, are you thinking of Hiroki?" Tamiya asked.

"Yeah. He reminds me of him." Milly admitted.

Tamiya nodded at that.

"What bout you, and Kyle?" Milly asked her.

Tamiya blushed slightly. "It's ok."

"What about me?" Kyle asked them.

"Oh nothing." Tamiya said before frowning.

"We need to find XANA quick, and I might have an idea how to do that." Jeremy mentioned.

"What is it?" Cal asked him.

"The next time XANA sends someone to duel us... we lose on purpose and put a program we can trace on our own avatar." Jeremy answered.

"Awfully risky since I had the location of his hideout." Ryoken told them.

"You do?" Yumi asked. "Why didn't you tell us before?"

"He did say that but you seem to brush it aside when he mentioned the Tower of Hanoi." Specter told her.

"Then what are we waiting for? We should head in now and stop him for good." Odd pointed out.

"All of us are heading in." Cal told them, "It's the least I can do to try to restore Jin back from XANA."

"I'm not much of a VRAINS person so I'll sit this one out." Kyle said to them before turning to Garrett, "Be careful bro."

"Don't worry Kyle. Once this is over we will get Ice Cream together." Garrett smiled to him, "And remember what I taught you on computers alright? If Cal's coming with us you should take his place to inform us of things."

Kyle nodded at that.

"Alright, it's time we take XANA down for good." Ulrich mentioned.

"Get in. We need to get somewhere where nobody would try to bother us." Cal said as they got in only for Cafe Nom to drive off arriving to a house above the ocean.

Ryoken said to them, "Come on in, and get prepared."

"Right." Sissi nodded.

They all walked before Kyle called, "Hey Tamiya!"

"Yeah?" she asked.

"Uh... When this is over do you... Want too..." Kyle started nervously.

Tamiya's eyes widened in shock before she blushed. "Oh... um, sure. That sounds nice."

Kyle smiled hearing that, "Thanks."

Tamiya smiled.

"Is everyone ready?" Ryoken asked.

Hearing that Tamiya walked in where everyone was comfortable as they all nodded ready.

"INTO THE VRAINS!" everyone declared as their Duel Disks glowed bright transferring their consciousness to VRAINS.


Ulrich362: Well... looks like the final confrontation with XANA is fast approaching.

bopdog111: Yeah. XANA messing with Jin like that might be the final straw.

Ulrich362: True, but he still has brainwashed allies and Aelita.

bopdog111: With Roboppi, and everyone on their side can finally bring down XANA?

Ulrich362: We'll have to wait and see. See you in the next chapter.

bopdog111: Be sure to review!
