Ulrich362: Well... things are absolutely awful for everyone wouldn't you agree Bopdog?
bopdog111: They got Lightning on there side, and Yuya is doing all he could for Zuzu to get her confidence back.
Ulrich362: That might be true, but SOL Technologies now knows all of Yusaku's allies and they'll more than likely all be arrested in the very near future. Zuzu getting away was a miracle.
bopdog111: And as I stated before it's easier said then done. Them managing to figure out Yuya as Magician was several things, and that's being famous, having Odd-Eyes, and using Pendulum. Their are things however that everyone else lacks that keeps them off the radar.
Ulrich362: Bopdog... if Yuya is Magician odds are good his wife is connected to Playmaker too. Not to mention Odd-Eyes is a one of a kind card just like the other Dimension Dragons, Starving Venom, Dark Rebellion, and Clear Wing. I don't see any way for them not to be captured by SOL Technologies within a few days at best.
bopdog111: Let's get a view on SOLs to prove finally that their not that close.
Ulrich362: I suppose it's worth a try, enjoy the chapter.
Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V or VRAINS but we own the OCs!
"What? Yuya escaped?" a blue green, and orange haired woman wearing a beige suit questioned.
After that attempt arrest Bishop had returned, and informed them, and now he, a purple haired man wearing sunglasses, Akira, and the woman were talking.
"For some reason he got away even though his function to log in Link VRAINS was disabled Queen." Bishop answered, "His Duel Disk might've had that teleport function from the Interdimensional War."
"Sir, someone is asking to see you." mentioned a voice over an intercom.
"I said, I was not to be interrupted during a meeting." the woman, Queen, said to the intercom.
"Yes ma'am, but he claims to be representing the Leo Corporation." the voice mentioned.
"Leo Corp.?" Bishop asked hearing that, "No doubt Zuzu told them about our little scuffle, and want to prove innocent."
Queen sighed annoyed before saying, "Bring them in my office. Shepherd, Akira, wait outside."
The two men at that walked out leaving Queen with Bishop waiting for them. A few minutes later a man in a purple suit walked in. "You must be this Queen I've heard so much about, my name is Leo Akaba."
"Leo's founder." Queen mentioned hearing that, "What brings you here?"
"Straight to the point." Leo Akaba noted. "Remove the bounty on Playmaker and his associates immediately."
"And what will make you think I do such a thing? SOL Technologies is not Leo Corp property." Queen glared.
"If you refuse, the Leo Corporation will consider it an act of war." Leo Akaba told her.
"War?" Bishop asked hearing that placing a hand on his hips, "Playmaker, and his associates are fugitives for what happened a while back, and you decide to listen to them instead of thinking we're the victims?"
"Victims? I'm more than well informed of the Lost Incident and Playmaker and the others are more than willing to allow that information to come to light." Leo Akaba told them. "That's not even considering the fact that Link VRAINS wouldn't exist if not for Playmaker's actions against the Knights of Hanoi."
"Those Knights are hackers, and Playmaker himself is a hacker. True he stopped them but Link VRAINS was in ruins because of it." Queen told him standing up, and slamming her hands on her desk making her nameplate jiggle, "It took out MONTHS to get it back up, and running we were nearly bankrupted because of it!"
"Fight fire with fire, had Playmaker not been there you wouldn't have had any way to restoring Link VRAINS." Leo Akaba replied calmly. "Any way you look at it, you owe Playmaker and his allies more than anyone."
"We owe them NOTHING!" Queen yelled, "They ruined Link VRAINS, and nearly SOLs' reputation!"
"He assumed this would be your attitude. Then you've made your choice. The Leo Corporation will see you it that SOL Technologies is shut down." Leo Akaba told her before his expression darkened. "As for you, we have a personal matter to settle."
"And what 'matter' would that be?" Queen asked with her own dark expression.
"Injuring my daughter." Leo Akaba answered before revealing his Duel Disk. "I'm not going to ignore that."
"Your daughter? Who's..." Queen questioned confused before realizing turning to Bishop before turning back, "That hacker! The one that was with the Hanoi that I gave a warning program too, that was your daughter?"
Leo Akaba just glared at her.
"I'm gonna assume from your expression that it is. She was a fool for daring to mess with Link VRAINS, and SOL Tech. And like her I'll give you a warning you won't soon forget, and make sure crossing SOLs will be the last thing you'll do with us." Queen glared to him.
Bishop only sighed pinching the bridge of his nose, "I'll tell Shepherd, and Akira we will settle the meeting another time. Don't take too long Queen."
"Be quiet Bishop." Queen glared as Bishop walked out before turning to Leo Akaba preparing herself, "I will make you understand, Akaba."
"You can go first." Leo Akaba told her calmly.
"INTO THE VRAINS!" the two declared.
They appeared in Link VRAINS at a ruined castle battleground.
Queen told him, "My personal battlefiend, where I teach anyone who crosses SOLs a lesson they won't forget. None had escaped, and you won't be the first!"
Leo Akaba looked around only to frown. "Just like back then, I assume you prefer Speed Duels over Master Duels?"
"It doesn't matter." Queen said they ready.
"DUEL!"
(Dueling Theme: Bring Me To Life by Evanescence)
Leo Akaba: 4000
Queen: 4000
Let the duel begin!
Queen 1st Turn:
"My turn!" Queen called checking her hand, "I activate the field spell, Allure Palace!"
Allure Palace
Field Spell Card
All "Allure Queen" monsters you control gain 500 ATK/DEF, also you can activate their effects that activate by sending themselves to the GY during your Main Phase. If an "Allure Queen" monster(s) is Normal or Special Summoned to your field: You can target 1 of those monsters; Special Summon 1 monster with the same name as that monster from your Deck to your opponent's field.
"Then, I summon Allure Queen LV3!" Queen called as a small sorcerer appeared.
Allure Queen LV3
Dark Type
Level 3
Spellcaster
ATK: 500
DEF: 500
Once per turn, during your Main Phase, you can select 1 Level 3 or lower monster on your opponent's side of the field and equip it to this card. (Only 1 card at a time can be equipped due to this effect.) If this card would be destroyed by battle, the equipped monster is destroyed instead. During your Standby Phase, by sending this card to the Graveyard while it's equipped due to its effect, Special Summon 1 "Allure Queen LV5" from your hand or Deck.
"The field spell, Allure Palace's effect activates!" Queen added as the card glowed, "When a Allure Queen is summoned, I can summon another from my Deck to your field!"
As she said that a second Allure Queen LV3 appeared on Leo's field.
"Allure Palace's additional effect!" Queen called as the field glowed, "Every Allure Queen in play gains 500 points!"
Allure Queen LV3: (ATK: 500 + 500 = 1000/DEF: 500 + 500 = 1000)
Leo Akaba just nodded seeing that. "Is that all?"
"Not even close!" Queen answered, "I activate Mind Control!"
Mind Control
Normal Spell Card
Target 1 monster your opponent controls; until the End Phase, take control of that target, but it cannot declare an attack or be Tributed.
"Allure Queen on your field goes to my side!" Queen called as the queen flew to her field before the circuit appears, "Appear the circuit of power! The summoning conditions is one level 3 or lower Spellcaster!"
The Allure Queen she took back flew in the left-bottom marker.
"Link Summon! Link 1, Allure Priestess!" Queen called as a nun looking like Allure Queen appeared.
Allure Priestess
Dark Type
Link Rating 1
Spellcaster/Link
ATK: 1000
Link Arrows: Bottom-Left
1 Level 3 or lower Spellcaster Monster
(This card is treated as a "Allure Queen" monster.)
If this card is Linked to a face-up "Allure Queen" monster: Your opponent cannot target "Allure Queen" monsters in your Main Monster Zones for attacks. This card gains ATK equal to the ATK of "Allure Queen" monsters linked to this card. Once per turn, you can target 1 monster your opponent controls: Equip it to this card. (max 1.) This card gains ATK equal to half the original ATK of all monsters equipped to this card.
"Interesting." Leo Akaba noted.
"Allure Palace's effect! Priestess gains points!" Queen called.
Priestess: (ATK: 1000 + 500 = 1500)
"Priestess' effect activates! She gains points equal to a Allure Queen linked to it!" Queen called as Priestess glowed. (ATK: 1500 + 1000 = 2500) "And as long as she's linked you can't target all Allure Queens in my Main Monster Zones for attacks!"
"A powerful defense." Leo Akaba admitted.
"Finally, I place 2 cards down. Your move Mr. President." Queen smirked.
Leo Akaba 1st Turn:
"I haven't been president of the Leo Corporation in years, that position belongs to my son." Leo Akaba stated. "I'll begin the duel with Pot of Greed to draw two new cards from my deck."
Pot of Greed
Normal Spell Card
Draw 2 cards.
He drew two cards looking.
"Next, I'll activate Polymerization and use it to fuse Spirit Tech Force - Pendulum Governor with Spirit Gem - Salamander Core." he continued.
Polymerization
Normal Spell Card
Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters from your hand or field as Fusion Material.
"Mechanical soldiers in which spirits dwell. Obtain a new power and return as an invincible army! Fusion Summon! Assemble! Level 12! Master Spirit Tech Force - Pendulum Ruler!
At that a huge machine appeared ready.
Master Spirit Tech Force - Pendulum Ruler
Light Type
Level 12
Pendulum Scale: 1
Machine/Fusion/Pendulum
ATK: 3500
DEF: 3000
Pendulum Effect: You can return this card to the Extra Deck.
Monster Effect: "Spirit Tech Force - Pendulum Governor" + 1 "Spirit" monster
Cannot be destroyed by card effects. Monsters your opponent controls with a Level lower than or equal to this card's, and monsters your opponent controls other than Pendulum Monsters, cannot attack, also their effects are negated. Once per turn: You can target 1 "Spirit Gem" monster that was Pendulum Summoned from the hand and whose monster effect was not used; Tribute that monster, and if you do, you can use the targeted monster's effects up to twice. Double any effect damage inflicted by this effect. Once per turn: You can place this card in your Pendulum Zone.
Queen looked shocked seeing this.
"Next, I'll set the Pendulum Scale with two scale one Spirit Reactors!" Leo Akaba called.
Spirit Reactor
Light Type
Level 1
Pendulum Scale: 1
Machine/Pendulum
ATK: 0
DEF: 0
Pendulum Effect: If this card is placed in the Pendulum Zone: You can target 1 Pendulum Card on the field; this card's Pendulum Scale becomes the same as that target's. If there is an EARTH, WATER, FIRE, or WIND monster on the field, the first time each monster you control would be destroyed each turn, by battle or card effect, it is not destroyed.
Monster Effect: This card gains 500 ATK for each EARTH, WATER, FIRE, and WIND monster on the field.
"Useless since you can't Pendulum Summon." Queen smirked to him.
"You're mistaken, I activate the Scale Up magic card." Leo Akaba stated. "This increases the Pendulum Scale of the Spirit Reactor on the left by two until the end of this turn."
Scale Up
Normal Spell Card
Target 1 card in your Pendulum Zone; increase its Pendulum Scale by 2 until the end of this turn.
Spirit Reactor: (Scale: 1 + 2 = 3)
"Now I'm allowed to summon as many level two monsters as I want at the same time."
"What good would a level 2 monster do for you?" Queen taunted.
"Spirits of the heavens and earth! Cleanse my hands of filthy sins and become the cornerstone of the world! Pendulum Summon! Appear now! Spirit Gem - Silpheed Core!" Leo Akaba called.
Spirit Gem - Silpheed Core
Wind Type
Level 2
Pendulum Scale: 6
Machine/Pendulum
ATK: 0
DEF: 0
Pendulum Effect: Once per turn: You can target 1 Pendulum Monster you control; place it face-up in your Extra Deck.
Monster Effect: Once per turn, during your Main Phase, if this card was Pendulum Summoned in Attack Position from the hand this turn: You can target 1 card in the Spell & Trap Zone; destroy it, and if you do, inflict 800 damage to its controller.
Queen grunted, "I activate the trap, Allure Meditation!"
Allure Meditation
Continuous Trap Card
While this card is face-up: "Allure Queen" monsters you control cannot be targeted by your opponent's card effects, also they cannot be destroyed by battle. Once per turn, you can target 1 card in your Spell/Trap Card Zone that is equipped to 1 "Allure Queen" monster you control: Special Summon that target, but it cannot attack directly, also send it to the GY during the End Phase.
"You cannot target Allure Queens on my field for effects or destroy them in battle, and I can summon a monster that was equipped from Allure Queen once I remove it's ability to attack directly, but I have to send it to the graveyard at the end of the turn!" Queen told him.
"Against another opponent that might help, I activate Master Spirit Tech Force - Pendulum Ruler's ability. By not using Slipheed Core's effect and sacrificing it, not only can I use that effect twice this turn but each time you take double the normal amount of damage." Leo Akaba told her. "Spirit Gem - Silpheed Core destroys one card in the spell and trap zone and deals 800 points of damage. Which means I can destroy Allure Meditation and your facedown card and inflict 1600 points of damage for each one."
"What?" Queen questioned as both her cards were destroyed. (Queen: 0800) "Already robbed me of almost all my points without attacking."
"You're right, I should finish that. Master Spirit Tech Force - Pendulum Ruler attack Allure Priestess." Leo Akaba stated calmly.
Pendulum Ruler charged an attack before Queen called, "I don't think so! I activate my Skill! Deceiving Attack!"
"A skill during a Master Duel? So you have to resort to cheating?" Leo Akaba questioned.
"Since I am one of SOL's creator's I make the rules so nothing is impossible for me!" Queen called.
Deceiving Attack
Queen's Skill
While the user has 1000 or less LP while a monster they control is attacked, they can destroy all monsters on the field, and inflict damage to their opponent equal to the total ATK of all monsters on the field. The opponent can banish 2 monsters from the graveyard to negate this Skill's activation.
"Unless you banish 2 monsters from the graveyard all monsters are destroyed, and you take their points as damage!" Queen smirked, "And Pendulum Governor along with Salamander Core are in the Extra Deck not the graveyard!"
"It seems you're not as familiar with Pendulum Summoning as you thought." Leo Akaba stated. "I banish Salamander Core and Pendulum Governor to stop your Skill and allow my attack to continue."
"Wait what?" Queen asked as Pendulum Ruler struck as Queen screamed collapsing.
Leo Akaba: 40000
Queen: 0000
Leo Akaba wins the duel!
Leo Akaba stared at her before logging out of Link VRAINS.
He woken up from Link VRAINS seeing Queen has collapsed in her chair before someone knocked. Leo Akaba frowned before turning and leaving the office as a red light on his Duel Disk turned off. A man with a blonde mustache, and wearing a blue formal suit with a white tie, and a nametag that Leo Akaba didn't read as he greeted, "Oh, I wasn't expecting we receive a visit. You are?"
"I was just leaving." Leo Akaba answered calmly. "Please excuse me."
With that he left.
The man looked on before walking in Queen's office as the light revealed his name on his nametag.
King.
Meanwhile...
Yuya just arrived in Cafe Nom to hide from SOLs as they talked for their next move with Lightning not saying anything.
"Yuya, are you ok?" Rin asked.
"Yeah." Yuya nodded to her, "I kept on trying to boost Zuzu's confidence, and then SOL founded out about me. It didn't go as planned."
"What?" Yuto questioned. "Yuya what do you mean they found out about you?"
"They managed to figure out I'm Magician." Yuya answered, "Cause of me having Odd-Eyes."
Hearing that Yugo, Yuto, and Yuri all looked at their own dragons. Yusaku looked troubled, "If Leo isn't successful to persuade them, things will be problematic for the road ahead."
"The four Dimensions will help us Yusaku." Declan told him. "It'll be alright."
He nodded hearing that as Skye walked over with a brown haired girl.
"Skye?" Lulu asked.
"Everyone this is my childhood friend. Miyu Sugisaki." Skye introduced the girl to them.
Miyu smiled waving, "Hi everyone."
"It's nice to meet you Miyu." Celina smiled before frowning. "Sorry about what happened to you though."
"It's alright. It's doesn't bother me at all, all I wanted was to see Skye again." Miyu smiled to her.
"It's nice to have a friend." Rin smiled.
"Which means only 1 more Ignis Origin, and 2 more Ignis remains yet to be known." Ryoken said enjoying coffee.
"Any ideas?" Shay inquired.
"Did you last seen or know where Water Ignis, or Earth Ignis went?" Ai asked his fellow Ignis.
Lightning, and Flame shook their heads no.
Cal then noticed, "Well I think the Earth Ignis' trail is known."
"You do?" Lulu asked in surprise.
"Look at this." Cal said showing then a message.
"I want to meet Playmaker. By, "Mr. Earth Ignis"."
"I know, I think it's obviously a hoax." Cal chuckled a little.
"We don't know for sure." Yusaku pointed out, "Only a few known about the Ignis' existence."
"But even if it isn't a hoax why would an Ignis post on a message board?" Cal asked them.
"The Earth Ignis would. So he's still around." Ai answered.
"... I don't like this, Yusaku shouldn't go on his own." Celina frowned.
"Perhaps, Miyu and I should accompany him." Specter suggested calmly only to pause. "That is, if you can stand being in Link VRAINS with me Yusaku."
"Of course. We've settled our differences." Yusaku answered before asking Ai, "Can you contact him?"
Ai grinned, "Leave it to me!"
Then a few seconds later he made a text that looks like gibberish.
"At first glace, it looks like garbled text. But I used an Ignis algorithm to ask where to meet." Ai explained it to them.
"Then you three are good to go?" Yuya asked.
"But we still don't know if it's the real Ignis." Cal told them un-eased, "It might be one of the Shepherd's traps."
"The Shepherd?" Miyu blinked.
Skye explained to her, "A Bounty Hunter that was after us for a while."
They heard a beep as Ai called, "A response! They're coordinates."
"Let's hurry off." Yusaku told them as they nodded at this.
"You haven't been in Link VRAINS yet so stay behind us." Specter told Miyu. "And keep your eyes and ears open."
Miyu nodded as they all prepared themselves, "Into the VRAINS!"
In Link VRAINS...
Playmaker, Specter, and Miyu who is dressed like a snow princess appeared.
"Call me Elsa here." Miyu told the two.
"Right." Playmaker nodded before looking at his Duel Disk. "Which way?"
Ai pointed ahead as they head over before stopping, "These are the Ignis's coordinates. Be careful guys. SOL Technologies' people may be hiding around here. Like the Shepherd or something."
Playmaker then asked Ai, "There's a total of six Ignis, right?"
"Yeah." Ai answered nodding.
"Flame, Windy, Lightning, and you." Playmaker added before asking, "What are the other two like?"
Ai gave thought before saying, "Well... First, the subleader, the Water Ignis. Has the skill to tell the difference between lies, and truth. That's why Cyberse World never had any betrayals or conspiracies. It's embarrassing for me to say... But the Water Ignis super relied on me. The Water Ignis definitely liked me."
Playmaker mentioned, "I see."
"Huh? That's a reaction?" Ai asked.
Playmaker pointed out, "The others are Flame, Windy, and the Light Ignis, Lightning."
"And... Oh, the Earth Ignis." Ai said thinking, "He's no-nonsense and honest and umm..."
Suddenly the record scratched as he looked over saying, "Oh! He's like this guy, massive and orange!"
As he said that he pulled something over to him to where they can see it is an Ignis that is big, and orange with blue eyes, and black lines.
"Um... I think that might be him." Elsa admitted.
"The Earth Ignis." Specter noted calmly.
Hearing that Ai cried, "Ah! It's the Earth Ignis! Long time, no see! How have you been?"
"You're the Earth Ignis?" Playmaker asked.
Ai grinned, "Yeah that's him!"
The Earth Ignis didn't say anything staring at the group before stating, "This way. Follow me."
He opened a portal, and flew in it.
"Um... should we follow him?" Elsa asked.
"Yes." Playmaker nodded jumping in.
They landed on a dried up like terrain as the Earth Ignis flew away.
"Wait up, Earth!" Ai cried to him.
Now confused the Earth Ignis turned asking, "'Earth'? Do you mean me?"
"Yeah. I just named you." Ai answered, "Because humans can't pronounce our real names. By the way, they call me Ai."
"Don't tell me you're named Ai because you're an AI?" Earth asked causing Ai to stammer.
"Of course not, dummy." Ai said sweatdropping.
Earth nodded, "I see. It's a good, logical name."
Elsa smiled. "They look like good friends."
"A moment, why do you want to duel Playmaker?" Specter inquired.
"This is to verify the true nature of humans with my own eyes by dueling Playmaker." Earth explained.
"Are you really going to duel him?" Elsa asked.
Earth nodded before asking, "And you are?"
"My name's Elsa." Elsa answered.
Earth then asked Ai, "What's the Water Ignis' name in the real world?"
"Well... Since's it's a Water Ignis, how about Wa-"
"Wait. I'll choose." Earth interrupted much to Ai's chargin before thinking, and said, "Aqua. Yes, that's a good name. It's decided. Aqua said to me..."
He explained that Aqua can tell Cyberse World will be destroyed soon, and asked him which side will he join which is Ignis or Human, and it's to verity the truth between humanity, and AI's future.
"Things aren't quite that simple anymore." Specter told him before frowning. "Playmaker, allow me to duel in your place."
Playmaker turned to him. Specter was staring at Earth calmly.
"And you?" Earth asked him.
"Specter." he replied calmly.
Ai asked him, "But how can you duel?"
Earth concentrated before a log near them started to transform into a wooden humanoid as he got on his arm which made Playmaker have a feeling of recognition.
"Very interesting." Specter smirked stepping forward. "I trust you're familiar with Master Duel rules?"
"Indeed." Earth told him.
Specter nodded. "Then shall we begin?"
"DUEL!"
(Dueling Theme: New Divide by Linkin Park)
Specter: 4000
Earth: 4000
Let the duel begin!
"His partner is more likely Specter." Playmaker told Ai.
"Seriously? Is that why he is skeptical about humans?" Ai asked him, "Makes sense."
Playmaker asked, "What's his dueling style?"
"Umm... I don't remember." Ai admitted, "He never stood out."
"Who's first?" Earth asked Specter.
Specter 1st Turn:
"I can take the first move, and I'll begin with two facedown cards and then I'll summon Sunseed Genius Loci in attack mode." Specter replied calmly.

If this card has 2 or more G Golem counters on this card, monsters co-linked to this card can attack twice during each Battle Phase.
At that the heart let out energy that turned the dried barren into a green field with a lake, and river. Elsa's eyes widened in awe seeing the monster.
"The Earth Ignis using a water monster?" Specter inquired.
"Hey I know that monster." Ai said seeing it.
"You do?" Elsa asked him.
"Yeah it's Aqua's. But why does Earth have it?" Ai asked confused.
"A good question, why do you have it?" Specter inquired.
"She gave it to me." Earth answered before looking up at the sky, "Watch... Aqua."
Elsa put a hand over her heart hearing that. Now focusing Earth called, "I activate Crystal Heart's Special Ability! Once a turn I can summon an Earth Attribute Link Monster from the graveyard, and co-link it to Crystal Heart! Emerge back, G Golem Stubborn Menhir!"
His Link 2 reappeared.
"Then I place a G Golem Counter on Crystal Heart." Earth added as Crystal Heart has a piece in it glow. (G Golem Counter: 1) "For every G Golem Counter, EARTH monsters linked to Crystal Heart gets 600 points stronger!"
Stubborn Menhir: (ATK: 1500 + 600 = 2100)
"That's like Specter's Sunavalon." Ai admitted, "His Mother Tree gives his cards strength."
"You're surprised?" Playmaker asked him.
"Not really." Ai answered.
"Stubborn Menhir's ability then allows me to summon an Earth Monster from the graveyard as long as I can Normal Summon it!" Earth added as Rock Hammer appeared again, "And now I summon G Golem Stone Relic!"
At that a stone slab appeared.

"When this card is summoned, I add G Golem Sand Cat to my hand!" Earth called showing a card, "And now the third time, circuit that roars the land! The summoning conditions are at least 3 EARTH monsters!"
The circuit appeared as Stubborn Menhir, Rock Hammer, and Stone Relic entered the Top, Right, Bottom-Right, and Bottom-Left Arrows.
"Mighty Stone Stature born from the Life Energy of the Crystal Heart! Descend here, and wreak destruction to ancient times! Link Summon!" Earth chanted, "Link 4! G Golem Obsidian Dragon!"

"A Link 4 already." Ai said before realizing, "Oh yeah!"
"Remember?" Playmaker asked.
"Earth was great at Dueling!" Ai answered, "...Should've remembered that earlier."
Earth called, "Stone Relic's ability activates! When it's used to Link Summon a EARTH monster, I can pay 1000 Life Points to give it 200 points for every G Golem in the graveyard! There are three!"
(Earth: 3000)
Obsidian Dragon: (ATK: 2100 + (200 * 3) = 2700)
"And now it gains 600 points from Crystal Heart!" Earth called as Crystal Heart entered a mold on Obsidian Dragon as it roared. (ATK: 2700 + 600 = 3300) "And now battle! Obsidian Dragon attacks!"
The Dragon charged.
"Obsidian Dragon's ability! Your forbidden from playing Spells or Traps whenever it attacks!" Earth added for a more powerful front.
Specter's eyes widened before the blast passed his monster and hit him.
(Specter: 0700)
"A powerful move. However..." Playmaker trailed off knowing what Specter is gonna do next.
"I activate Sunavalon Dryas' special ability." Specter stated as the tree. "Once per turn when I take damage I can summon a Sunvine Link Monster to the zone Sunavalon Dryas points to and regain life points equal to the damage I took. I summon Sunvine Thrasher!"
His sword wielding plant humanoid appeared.

If no "Sunavalon" Link Monster points to this card, destroy this card.

At the start of the Damage Step, when this card battles an opponent's monster: You can activate this effect; if that opponent's monster is destroyed by this battle and sent to the GY, Special Summon that opponent's monster to your zone your "Sunavalon" Link Monster points to.
(Specter: 4000)
"So that made my attack worthless." Earth grunted.
"You may have a powerful offense, but I have a strong defense." Specter stated calmly.
"I place 1 card down. I end my turn." Earth ended his turn.
Obsidian Dragon: (ATK: 3300 - (3 * 200) = 2700)
Specter: 4000

Specter drew his card and smirked. "I summon Sunseed Twin."

If this card is Normal Summoned, and you control a "Sunavalon" monster: You can target 1 Plant Normal Monster in your GY; Special Summon it. If you have 2 or more Link Monsters in your GY with the same name: You can banish this card from your GY and 1 Link Monster you control, then target 1 of those Link Monsters in your GY with the same name; Special Summon it.
"When I summon this monster while I control a Sunavalon I can summon a normal plant monster from my graveyard and I think you know what monster I plan on summoning." Specter said as Twin meditated before Genius Loci appeared at that.
"Now appear again, the future circuit that lights up our path! The summoning conditions are two or more Plant Monster, I'll place Thrasher, Sunseed Twin, and Sunavalon Dryas in the Link Markers, Circuit Combine!" Specter called. "I Link Summon Sunavalon Dryanome!"
Dryas grown to Dryanome as it looked ready.

Cannot be used as Link Material the turn it is Link Summoned. Cannot be targeted for attacks, but does not prevent your opponent from attacking you directly. Once per turn, if a monster this card points to is targeted for an attack: You can move that monster to another Main Monster Zone; negate the attack. If this card is Link Summoned using a "Sunavalon" Link Monster as material, it gains this effect.
● Up to thrice per turn, if you take battle or effect damage: You can Special Summon 1 "Sunvine" Link Monster from your Extra Deck to your zone your "Sunavalon" Link Monster points to, and if you do, gain LP equal to the damage you took.
"Now Specter can get started." Ai said seeing that.
"I end my turn." Specter frowned.
"Appear again, the future circuit that lights up our path! The summoning conditions are one normal Plant Monster, I place Sunseed Genius Loci in the Link Markers, Circuit Combine!" Specter stated. "Link Summon, Link one Sunvine Thrasher!"
A second Thrasher appeared.
"Sunvine Thrasher gains 800 attack points times the Link rating of a Sunavalon it points too."
Sunvine Thrasher: (ATK: 800 + (3 * 800) = 3200)
"Now, attack G Golem Crystal Heart!"
Thrasher charged as Earth called, "Obsidian Dragon's ability! Monsters co-linked with this card cannot be destroyed in battle! Then Flutteration's effect! Battle damage to a G Golem in the Extra Monster Zone becomes zero once per turn!"
Thrasher attacked but Crystal Heart was protected by Obsidian Dragon. Specter's eyes widened. "I should have guessed, I end my turn."
"Know this! I won't let you lay a finger on Crystal Heart!" Earth declared.
"So sweet." Elsa whispered hearing that.
"I see, then I'll have to defeat you without destroying that monster." Specter noted calmly.
Earth 2nd Turn:
"My turn! Draw!" Earth called drawing looking.
Specter watched calmly. Earth then called, "I now summon G Golem Sand Cat!"
A cat statue shaping as a cat appeared.

You can Tribute this card: Special Summon 1 "G Golem" Link Monster from your GY. You can banish this card from your GY: Add 1 "G Golem Sand Cat" from your Deck to your Deck. You can only use each effect of "G Golem Sand Cat" once per turn.
Playmaker watched calmly.
"Sand Cat's ability activates!" Earth called as Sand Cat glowed, "I summon a G Golem Link Monster from the graveyard by sacrificing this card!"
Specter smirked. "Impressive."
"Rise back Stubborn Menhir!" Earth called as Stubborn Menhir appeared again, "And now I activate the trap, High Rate Draw!"
High Rate Draw
Normal Trap Card
Destroy 2 or more monsters you control, and if you do, draw 1 card for every 2 monsters destroyed. During your opponent's Main Phase, if this card is in your GY: You can target 1 monster you control; destroy it, and if you do, Set this card, but banish it when it leaves the field. You can only use this effect of "High Rate Draw" once per turn.
"I destroy Obsidian Dragon, and Stubborn Menhir!" Earth called as the two shattered, "Then for every 2 monsters destroyed, I can draw a card!"
Earth drew a card as he added, "Then I activate Sand Cat's other ability! By banishing it, I add another Sand Cat to my hand!"
He shows the card.
"With Obsidian Dragon gone, you can use Crystal Heart's ability." Specter recalled.
"Like so!" Earth called as Obsidian Dragon reappeared roaring, "When I use this ability, I place 1 G Golem Counter on Crystal Heart!"
Crystal Heart: (G Golem Counter: 2)
"Crystal Heart allows all monsters linked with it gain 600 attack points for every G Golem Counter!"
Crystal Heart entered the mold as Obsidian Dragon roared.
Obsidian Dragon: (ATK: 2100 + (600 * 2) = 3300)
Specter frowned at that. "It's more powerful than Sunvine Thrasher."
"Which means none of Specter's attacks can do anything." Playmaker said at this, "Attacking Crystal Heart is pointless if their's no damage. And Obsidian Dragon's points are too high for Thrasher to destroy."
"Yeah, but at the same time Earth's attacks won't work thanks to Dryanome's ability." Ai pointed out.
"Then that means, they both can't do anything." Elsa said realizing that.
"It does appear that we've reached a stalemate." Specter noted calmly.
"Which will only be broken by how hard our efforts are." Earth told him, "Obsidian Dragon attack Thrasher!"
"Sunavalon Dryanome's special ability activates, by moving Thrasher to another Main Monster Zone your attack is negated." Specter countered.
Thrasher dodged only for Earth to call, "Crystal Heart's ability! While this card has two G Golem Counters, monsters co-linked to this card can attack twice!"
"Twice?" Specter asked in shock.
"Obsidian Dragon attacks again!" Earth called as Obsidian Dragon fired again.
Specter winced as his monster shattered.
(Specter: 3900)
"Sunavalon Dryanome has the same effect as Sunavalon Dryas, so I can recover my life points and summon Sunvinee Gardna to a zone it points to." he stated.

If this card is destroyed by battle: You can end the Battle Phase.
"Wait Specter will run out of those Sunvines at some point won't he?" Elsa realized, "That means as long as Earth pushes his attacks he'll win the duel."
"Maybe, but there's only one way to know for sure." Playmaker answered.
"Dryatrentiay." Ai said knowing what Playmaker is saying.
"Exactly." Playmaker nodded.
"Turn end." Earth ended his turn.
Specter: 4000
Earth: 3000
Specter 3rd Turn:
Specter drew his card before closing his eyes. "Appear once more, the circuit that leads to the future! The summoning conditions are two plant Link Monsters, I place Link three Sunavalon Dryanome and Sunvine Gardna in the Link Markers! Circuit Combine! I Link Summon, Link 4 Sunavalon Dryatrentiay!"

His Link Four appear growing ready to battle Earth.
"Next, the spell Sunavalon Cursed Reborn." Specter stated.

Activate this card by targeting 1 "Sunavalon" Link Monster in your GY; Special Summon it, and if you do, its ATK becomes equal to its Link Rating x 1000, but it has its effects negated, also for the rest of this turn, it cannot be used as Link Material, nor attack. When this card leaves the field, destroy that monster. When that monster leaves the field, destroy this card. If you take battle or effect damage: You can send this card to the GY; inflict damage to your opponent equal to the damage you took.
"This summons a Sunavalon Link Monster in my graveyard and it gains 1000 attack points times its Link Rating, however that monster's effects are negated and it isn't allowed to attack. I choose to revive Sunavalon Dryas."
Dryas appeared without leaves. (ATK: 0 + 1000 = 1000)
"Sunavalon Dryatrentiay's special ability activates, once per turn I can tribute one Plant Link Monster that it points to and then destroy face-up spell and trap cards up to that monster's Link Rating on your field and destroy them." Specter stated. "I sacrifice Sunavalon Dryas to destroy Gravity Flutteration."
Dryas vanished as Flutteration shattered as Earth grunted.
"That means Earth will take damage if Crystal Heart is attacked!" Ai cried.
"True, however the turn I use Sunavalon Dryatrentiay's ability monsters in my Main Monster Zone aren't allowed to attack." Specter noted before smirking. "Of course, that won't be an issue. I summon another Sunseed Genius Loci, and using it I'll Link Summon my final Sunvine Thrasher!"
Thrasher appeared in place ready.
"So it's points climb to 4000 but it can't attack." Elsa said seeing that.
"Correct, but I have my facedown card Sunavalon Bloom." Specter stated activating the card.
Sunavalaon Bloom

When that monster leaves the field, destroy this card.
"This negates all of your monster's effects." he told Earth.
Crystal Heart: (G Golem Counter: 2 - 2 = 0)
Obsidian Dragon: (ATK: 3300 - (600 * 2) = 2100)
Earth grunted at this.
"Also, I target one Link 4 or higher Plant Monster in my Extra Monster Zone and if that monster happens to battle it gains the attack points of every monster it points to." Specter stated. "In short, this duel is over. Sunavalon Dryatrentiay, destroy G Golem Crystal Heart!"
Dryatrentiay charged vines. (ATK: 0 + 4000 = 4000)
The vines struck Crystal Heart shattering it like glass as Earth watched in horror before looking down.
Specter: 4000
Earth: 0000
Specter wins the duel!
Elsa put a hand over her mouth and started tearing up seeing that.
"He won." Ai said seeing that shocked.
Playmaker just nodded.
"You won. Congrats." Earth said to Specter looking up to him.
"You're rather skilled, though I had two advantages over you." Specter noted.
"And those are...?" Earth asked him.
"As a member of the Knights of Hanoi I was aware of how you think as an Ignis." Specter answered. "In particular, I'm particularly aware of how you would think Earth Ignis."
"Cause we're both connected." Earth said hearing that.
Specter smirked. "Exactly, now then have you made up your mind?"
Earth nodded to him. Specter nodded back before walking back to Playmaker and Elsa.
"So... All we gotta do now is find Aqua." Ai told them.
"I just hope she's ok." Elsa whispered.
"Oh your her origin?" Ai asked her.
"The only female victim of the Lost Incident, and the only female Ignis. I wonder if they're connected." Specter pointed out.
"Well there's still Windy's origin to look for." Playmaker pointed out.
The others all nodded in agreement hearing that.
