Ulrich362: Well... it's time for the finale. Possibly.

bopdog111: Don't worry the fic won't be ending here cause their are a lot of possibilities ahead.

Ulrich362: Well maybe. Varis is in possession of quite a few powerful cards including his Link 5 Borrelend Dragon that he used to take down Ghost Gal, Akira, and Gore all at once.

bopdog111: But can Playmaker's new card that he obtained manage to best that Link 5?

Ulrich362: There's only one way to find out. The final battle will soon begin. Enjoy the chapter.

After they convinced Yuto to come along they followed Daisy as she rode her car to where Varis' house is at from this 'Stardust Road'.

"So what is the Stardust Road?" Yuya asked.

Kolter answered, "It's something that happens at Night where Plankton, and Algae gather together to glow brightly at the ocean."

"Yusaku... you don't have to fight him. Z-ARC is more than enough." Yuya mentioned. "Without those spell cards Varis can't do anything against him."

"Me, and Varis have a score to settle Yuya." Yusaku told him, "I'm the only one that has a chance."

"And what if you lose?" Yuto questioned. "You're strong Yusaku but so is he and this isn't a duel you're guaranteed to win."

"So are the other matches you all fought in Duel Academy." Yusaku told him.

"Yusaku... it's too high a risk. We could lose Yugo and the others forever." Rin pointed out.

"Well I better not lose." Yusaku gave a soft smile before they felt they stopped, "Kolter?"

"Daisy stopped." Kolter explained, "We might be here."

"Yusaku... if you won't let us duel, at least tell us you'll let us be there to support you." Zuzu whispered.

"Of course." Yusaku said with a smile as they got out exiting heading to the house.

"That thing's a Palace!" Ai cried in awe.

They walked around before entering a big room where someone was kneeling beside a bed holding a hand, "Father..."

"Ryoken Kogami?" Yuya inquired.

Hearing that the boy slowly stand up before turning around with a glare showing he is a tanned man with light-blue eyes and has white hair that spikes backwards at the sides, with purple-blue highlights while wearing a pink v-neck shirt underneath a light grey suit jacket, with black trousers that ends above his ankles and white shoes.

"It's you..." Yusaku grunted.

"Yusaku Fujiki... and the former Lancers." the man known as Ryoken greeted in a cold tone, "You come to me directly to force me, and my father to stop us?"

"What happened to him?" Rin asked.

Ryoken turned to the bed where a now lifeless Dr. Kogami now lay, "He was in comatose by SOLs. They infected him with a virus when the Incident was reported."

"What?" Riley asked in horror. "How could they do something like that?"

"Why else? To make sure he doesn't talk just to save their reputation." Ryoken said to them with a glare.

"Tell me Ryoken, just what was it that SOL Technologies wanted to hide so desperately?" Declan questioned. "Enough to kill the man who started the Hanoi Project?"

"Them." Ryoken pointed to Ai.

"Me... oh no, don't give us any of that..." Ai started only for Declan to nod in understanding.

"I see, then tell me Ryoken. Do you want all those innocent people in the Tower of Hanoi to suffer? Do the ends justify your means?" Declan questioned.

"Trust me when I say the Hanoi's goals didn't want to involve them we're not out to kill civilians." Ryoken said to him, "But the Tower needed energy to power up so that Link VRAINS will be terminated along with the Ignis."

"And so you sacrificed innocent people. Tore apart families and ruined lives." Declan summarized. "Even if this plan of yours works there's nothing stopping SOL Technologies from doing the same thing again is there? In fact, all you'll have done is turned the world against you. We've passed this point, but if you truly wanted what you say you did why didn't you come to us for help?"

"You Lancers already done a lot for us, and I would hate to ask more. And it's me, and my father's battle to fight." Ryoken said to him, "But you shouldn't be fighting us, you should be helping us."

"Why would we do that?" Rin asked with a glare.

"I was the one who assisted Yusaku during the Hanoi Project." Ryoken revealed.

"You... you saved Yusaku?" Zuzu asked in shock. "Then why? Why are you tormenting him like this? You took his family from him and now you're going to leave him without his parents or his little sister!"

"I assure you it isn't like that once the Tower is activated." Ryoken said, "Once Link VRAINS is terminated everyone absorbed will exit Link VRAINS like nothing happened to them."

"Wait... they'll be ok?" Yuya asked him.

"I said before we aren't murderers or cold blooded people." Ryoken repeated, "The Hanoi's overall goal is to terminate the six Ignis. You know about this from Specter, Yusaku."

"He did told me about it." Yusaku admitted.

"But you haven't heard the full story." Ryoken mentioned.

"Then by all means tell us." Declan said calmly.

"10 years ago years after the Dimensional War, Father working for SOLs had a theory that if humanity goes extinct one day everything we had learned or achieved trapped in flesh will be forgotten, and nothing who comes before humans will know what we done in the past." Ryoken started to explained, "He worked endlessly to figure out a way to counteract this, and soon managed to find a solution. Creating Artificial Intelligence that has free will."

The former Lancers and Yusaku listened intently.

"Creating such AI is not an easy thing to do so he resorted to cruel methods." Ryoken continued, "That is the Hanoi Project, or the Lost Incident's true purpose. To create six AI that has Free Will as humanity's successor should Humans be extinct. By knowing methods of Dueling it will help them understand about humanity."

"Yusaku and the others." Rin realized. "But why children? Why not adults like us?"

"That is something I wanted to ask father but I couldn't." Ryoken answered, "I was 8, and couldn't comprehend it so I reported the Incident by guilt."

"An anonymous report uncovered the Lost Incident." Yusaku mentioned hearing that before Zuzu, and Yuya noticed that a heart monitor beside Dr. Kogami's bed is at zero.

Zuzu gasped seeing that.

"He... he's dead." Yuya whispered.

Ryoken hearing that turned his bed to his father, "He gave me the last of his strength so that I can keep going to continue the Hanoi's Goals."

"Ryoken... there's no way to go back is there?" Riley asked nervously.

"It is my duty to terminate the Ignis, and make SOLs pay for their actions including what they done with Clarissa, and Daisy's jobs." Ryoken answered simply looking down, "I waited three years for Father to come home after I reported the Incident but SOLs infected him by then to save their reputation. But somehow he completed the Ignis while imprisoned. The Ignis created Cyberse World, their home where no human can reach them, created Cyberse cards, and Data Material creating Data Storms, where SOLs uses it, and had lived with each other. But soon father ran simulations."

"Simulations with the Ignis that shows of Ignis, and Humanity's chances to co-exist." Yusaku realized.

"Exactly. He ran many to see what will happen if they co-exist. It was when he founded the terrifying truth." Ryoken continued, "The Ignis learned to lie, and this made him see that one-day the Ignis will overthrow humanity one-day, and that began our long goal to terminate them before they can have a chance to do so by them supervising Humanity, and we'll view them as enemies for always being selfish."

"Yuya changed Duel Academy, if the Ignis have free will we can try and change them for the better." Zuzu argued. "Please... give us a chance to try so nobody has to be hurt. Enough people had to suffer."

"I can't stop the Tower of Hanoi even if I wanted too." Ryoken said to them, "The Tower was our desperate plan since Playmaker, and you all are involved, and stopped our plans to capture the DARK Ignis. The only way to stop the Tower of Hanoi is by defeating me."

"Then that's what Yusaku will have to do." Declan notes calmly. "If he does win, you're welcome to come to LID where we can try to find another way."

"Hmm... I'll take that into consideration." Ryoken said to him, "Besides once the Ignis are terminated, and SOLs pay for their crimes humanity will have no need for me any longer."

"Huh?" Kolter asked confused.

"Any punishment that the Hanoi deserves, I am putting them on my head." Ryoken explained simply, "When the Ignis, and SOL isn't threatening humanity anymore then I won't have a purpose anymore. What will happen to me once that's finished... It's accepting all sorts of punishments the Knights of Hanoi deserve."

Declan just nodded quietly at that. Ryoken closed his eyes, "You know everything now. Yusaku..."

Yusaku listened to what he has to say.

"Now that you know everything what is your choice?" Ryoken asked offering a hand, "Will you side with the Hanoi to terminate the Ignis, and stop SOLs' tyrannical rule? Or will you continue to battle us in a war you cannot win?"

Yusaku stared before saying, "Dad told something long before. No matter how difficult the odds are, or what kind of situation is there, we always gotta have hope as it's the only thing we can fight with. That's what he learned while he dueled Yuya as he always had hope during the Dimensional War to stop Duel Academy from harming others. So I think you know my decision."

Ryoken at that lowered his arm, "So be it. You have prepared yourself to be defeated."

"I'm prepared to duel you Ryoken." Yusaku answered. "Our cards will decide what happens next."

"Indeed. Let's begin the final battle!" Ryoken declared as they both activated their Duel Disks.

"INTO THE VRAINS!" the two declared as they consciousnesses got sent to Link VRAINS as they all got them to comfortable positions as a huge TV was lowered where it shows of Link VRAINS where in the nearly completed Tower of Hanoi was Playmaker, and Varis ready to begin.

Yuto stared at the screen before turning and walking out of the room. The door was locked from a computer lock preventing him from leaving. Yuto frowned at that before suddenly vanishing.

"Yuto?" Yuya asked in shock only for Zuzu to shake her head.

"Someone has to tell the others what's happening, what all of this really meant Yuya." she pointed out.

"He better not of left because of he thinks the Hanoi won." Rin said to them, "Cause if he did me, and Lulu are gonna give him a LONG talk."

"Did you look at his eyes Rin? He doesn't." Declan said calmly only to pause. "Or at least... even if he does he isn't going to let that stop him and Zuzu has a point. Your children, friends, parents in some cases all do deserve to know the truth, we've spent ten years searching for it after all."

With that they turned back to the screen.

"It's real quiet." Ai remarked.

Varis said, "I'll truly enjoy dueling you here."

"Then not point to let that stop us." Playmaker mentioned as they prepared for the final battle.

"DUEL!"

"It's over." Varis smirked.

Varis stared at him like he grown another head, "You do realize this isn't a duel for games right?"

"I know... But what matters is having fun in dueling. That's what they should be about, and you put up a great battle." Playmaker said with a grin.

Varis stared at him blinking.

"I don't know if your either insane, or stressed out right now." Ai admitted.

"Doesn't matter cause now this is the final turn!" Playmaker called.

"So... that's the monster Yusaku got. It's massive!" Kolter cried in awe outside.

"That... how? I thought Link Summoning only went up to four." Yuya said in disbelief.

"Yusaku and Ryoken... just how much stronger are those two?" Rin questioned.


"Your monster only has 3000 points. Not enough to change anything!" Varis pointed out.

"Not for long." Playmaker grinned catching Varis off-guard, "When Darkfluid is Link Summoned, I place a Counter on it for each Cyberse in my graveyard with a different monster card type! I place four Counters!"

Darkfluid: (Counter: 4)

"And now battle! Darkfluid attacks Borrelend!" Playmaker called as Darkfluid flew up spreading it's wings, "Darkfluid gains 2500 attack points for each counter!"

Darkfluid roared at the power. (ATK: 3000 + (2500 * 4) = 13000)


"13000!" Zuzu cried in shock.

"Then... unless Varis can stop this attack its over." Riley realized.


Varis grunted, "I activate Borreload's ability! One monster loses 500 attack, and defense points! You can't activate a card in response! I target Magnarokket! Anti-Enemy Varrett!"

Borreload roared at Magnarokket.

"No! Magnarokket will send Darkfluid to the graveyard!" Ai panicked.

"Your finished Playmaker." Varis smirked.

"Are you sure?" Playmaker grinned surprising Varis, "Darkfluid's ability activates! When a monster activates it's effect, I remove 1 counter to negate the activation!"

Darkfluid roared. (ATK: 13000 - 2500 = 10500/Counter: 4 - 1 = 3)

"What!?" Varis cried in shock seeing that his chances of winning had just vanished, "Oh no!"

"Darkfluid finish this!" Playmaker called, "Neo Tempest!"

Darkfluid fired a blast at Borrelend.

"Borrelend may not be destroyed but you still take damage!" Ai cried to Varis.

The blast struck as Varis cried out from the blast.


Playmaker: 0400

Varis: 0000

Playmaker wins the duel!


"Is it over?" Yuya asked seeing that.


Playmaker knelled breathing as Varis slowly raise up, "Playmaker... How... Did you win?"

"...I simply trust my instincts... And thanks to the support friendship won." Playmaker said to him.

Varis said to him, "Playmaker... You defeated me, which means... As agreed the Tower is stopped, and everyone who is absorbed will be restored. Though remember as long as the Ignis are around the Hanoi will always strive to terminate them unless you can prove they can change."

With that he dissolved as the Tower self destructed just in time for Playmaker to log out.


Once that happened Yusaku, and Ryoken stirred.

"Yusaku!" Zuzu cried running to him as Declan approached Ryoken.

"My offer still stands, you're welcome at LID. We'll figure out a solution together, one that doesn't involve going to extremes like the Tower of Hanoi." he told him.

Ryoken focused his vision looking up to Declan before letting out a small grin taking his hand, "Why not? Yusaku beat me fair, and square. And besides it will be glad to join one of the most biggest companies that rivals SOLs."

Declan smiled at that.


Meanwhile at that Zaizen household...

Skye, and Lilly both stirred groaning.

"Miss Skye? What... where are we?" Lilly asked weakly.

"Lilly?" Skye groaned rubbing her head, "Dear heavens... What happened? Wait... Lilly weren't... we dueling Specter?"

Lilly froze at that before looking down miserably. "Oh yeah... I messed up bad."

Skye looked to her, "Lilly..."

"Skye!"

Hearing that they looked to see Akira just got up.

"Your okay!" Akira smiled looking relieved, "And if that's so then Yusaku might've stopped the Tower!"

"Come on. He said to meet at the house where the Stardust Road is at." Akira said to them.


Meanwhile in the Cafe Nom Truck...

Yuri, Celina, and Yugo collapsed only to notice nobody was there. Lulu got up groaning, "Ah what happened?"

"The last thing I remember is being attacked by Starving Venom Fusion Dragon." Celina frowned before her eyes widened. "Wait, where's Yusaku?"

They looked around only for Yuri to get a message telling them to meet in the house their near.

"Meet up in... come on the others are waiting." Yuri told them.

They nodded walking out.


Meanwhile in a apartment complex...

Gore stirred groaning before getting a message, and looked, "Meet up at... Alright."

Emma also gotten it from her place grinning.


At the house...

Daisy watched as Genome, Aso, Baira or known as Clarissa, and Specter all stirred as she teared up, "Your awake!"

"Daisy?" Clarissa grunted before Daisy hugged, "Was... the Tower a success?"

"...You might want to hear from Ryoken." Daisy said to them.


Back at the room...

As everyone waited for the guests they were deep in conversation. Suddenly the door opened. Hearing that they turned over. It was Yuri, Celina, Lulu, Yugo, Skye, Akira, and Lilly.

"Guys!" Yusaku, Rin, and Yuto ran over.

Yugo hugged Rin, Lulu hugged Yuto, and Yuri and Celina embraced Yusaku.

"I was so worried about you Yugo!" Rin said with tears.

"I'm so glad your back..." Yuto teared up.

"Mom, Dad, Lilly... I done it." Yusaku said little out a couple of tears.

"You've been through enough Yusaku, you can cry." Celina whispered holding him.

Ryoken watches before turning to his father on the bed, "Father..."

Someone suddenly took his hand. Feeling that he looked.

"I'm sorry." Riley whispered quietly. "It shouldn't have happened."

"Master Ryoken?"

They looked seeing Genome, Aso, Clarissa, Specter, and Daisy walked in before Aso narrowed his eyes, "Who are you all!?"

"At ease Knights." Ryoken stated calmly, "Their no longer our enemies."

"What? But one of them has a-"

"An Ignis I know." Ryoken said to Specter, "But he defeated me, and stopped the Tower of Hanoi fair, and square."

"Grr... That was our desperate gig." Genome grunted, "What can we do against the Ignis now?"

"You can start by not trying to solve this on your own." Yuya smiled. "We can help you guys come up with a better plan."

"How can you say that after all we done on you, and your group?" Clarissa questioned.

"Hi, you've heard of everything I did correct?" Yuri asked. "If they can forgive me I think they can forgive you all as well."

Lilly however looked incredibly scared.

"Indeed." Ryoken agreed to that notion.

"Well, with that said we should head back and try to move forward from here." Declan noted calmly.

"Once everyone gets here." Kolter said, "I also informed George, and Emma."

Ryoken said to Yuri, and Celina, "Yuri, Celina, you two have a remarkable son. Not only is he able to stop the Tower he also possesses a powerful Link 5 Monster."

"Link 5?" Celina asked in shock.

"... I suppose it means our time has passed. Celina we should retire our decks." Yuri suggested.

"Then... Who else I'm I suppose to look up, and duel alongside with?" Yusaku asked them with slight tears, "I now gotten back my desire for having fun in Dueling, and I want to spend it with you two, and Lilly."

"You've surpassed us a long time ago Yusaku." Yuri told him. "I'm proud of you son."

That's when they noticed Lilly looked scared and also Skye was holding her Duel Disk.

"You always said that beating you would be the true test. And Yuya always said you wouldn't allow me to get stronger then you until so." Yusaku told his father.

Yuri met Yusaku's eyes before smiling. "Alright... then when we get back why don't we have that duel?"

Yusaku nodded at that. Ryoken grinned, "Then this should be a match we should see altogether."

"An audience?" Yuri inquired. "Well Yusaku, what do you say?"
