bopdog111: Both Lancelot, and the Shepherd fell.
Ulrich362: True, but Emperor did something to Lancelot... something that probably won't end well for Yusaku and the others.
bopdog111: And with Shepherd on Playmaker's side what's gonna happen now?
Ulrich362: Likely more duels, hopefully Playmaker's side keeps winning but who can know for sure.
bopdog111: Well let's see the progress on the war so far.
Ulrich362: Sounds good to me, enjoy the chapter.
Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V or VRAINS but we own the OCs!
The Shepherd was informed of their battle plan, and asked, "So we keep King's attention on the battle allowing us to catch them off-guard by cutting off their place of resting, and Akira's freedom?"
"That's right." Varis nodded.
"Sounds like a calculative plan... Only their is just one flaw." the Shepherd mentioned to them.
"What do you mean?" Playmaker asked.
"That machine corrupted man, Sota Tarumaki under the name Emperor." the Shepherd answered, "He's not like the Inner Circle Members. There is something about him I just don't like, and that he is nothing to underestimate."
"He's a victim of the Lost Incident, but fortunately we have a way to adapt to his dueling strategies." Specter noted calmly. "The message Akira sent, and the Wind Ignis."
"It'll take more then that. King gave him personal codes, and the rights for Link VRAINS. It's like a playground for him, he could be anywhere." the Shepherd told him, "It's like King made him his own Personal God for this world."
"Do you mean we can't win?" Nyx asked nervously.
"No. He is only telling us what King made Emperor become. But I won't let Emperor stand in my way for us to get back at SOL." Playmaker told his sister.
She nodded but still looked worried.
"We should keep moving." Varis told them.
They rode off at this.
Meanwhile with Magician's group...
"Alright Superstar attack!" Abyss Manager called as an afro fiend charged in attacking Neptunio destroying it, and winning his match.
"Alright, time to try out my new move." Magician grinned. "Since I have Odd-Eyes Light Phoenix face-up in my Extra Deck and two cards in my Pendulum Zone, I can automatically summon my new dragon Odd-Eyes Phantasma Dragon in attack mode."

"Now attack and end this duel!"
Phantasma Dragon charged striking down Eelaster, and terminating the Pawn Drone.
"Are there any others?" Magician asked.
"You have been really annoying."
Hearing that they all turned to the voice. Who was above them was Bishop who has on Prince attire with his own tarp being a bronze Bishop Chess Piece. Melodic Angel's eyes widened. "You!"
"I should've known you were with your traitorus husband Zuzu. I was a fool to overlook you." Bishop said glaring at her.
"Yuya's no traitor." Melodic Angel told him coldly.
"Well you grown a backbone it seems." Bishop stated simply, "Perhaps to force Yuya, and you to surrender would've been going after your son to get this job done faster. Such a drag."
"Don't even thing about touching him." Melodic Angel threatened. "That's it, I'm taking you down right here and right now!"
"Please with such a pathetic record to your name you think you can BEAT me?" Bishop questioned to her.
"Duels in Link VRAINS have changed." Melodic Angel told him.
"Don't think cause of the Leo Institute's illegal coding without SOL's Permission can make a different." Bishop warned her, "But if you want a duel fine by me. We shall take care of this the Speed Duel way."
"Fine with me." Melodic Angel mentioned.
They readied themselves as they called "SPEED DUEL!"
(Dueling Theme: Full Moon by Sonata Arctica)

"Each member of the Inner Circle uses Decks based around World Legacy as a way to reshape Link VRAINS to our views." Bishop explained before saying, "Next appear the circuit of rebirth!"

Auram: (ATK: 2000 + 300 = 2300)
Chosen: (ATK: 1600 + 300 = 1900/DEF: 0 + 300 = 300)

Solo attacked Auram destroying it. (Bishop: 3900)
"Whatever that matters little." Bishop stated to her.
"Maybe, or maybe not." Melodic Angel told him. "I end my turn."
"Why didn't she attack Chosen?" Abyss Manager asked Magician, and Fright Master.
"Canon only has 1400 points, and his Link Monster was the bigger threat." Fright Master explained.

"Skill activate! Marker's Portal!" Bishop called as his tarp glowed.

Auram, and Link Spider entered the left, right, and bottom arrows.
"Warrior chosen by the Chalice of the World! Transform into your mightiest form to destroy all who wronged this world, and rebuild it back to it's glory! Link Summon, Link 3! Ningirsu the World Chalice Warrior!"

"2500, but with Judgment Arrows that means his monster has 5000 points." Magician panicked.
"Close." Bishop called as Discovery glowed, "Due to Discovery it now has 2800!"
Ningirusu: (ATK: 2500 + 300 = 2800)
Fright Master's eyes widened in horror.
"Zuzu's gonna lose, again!" Abyss Manager cried.
"When I'm done with you Zuzu, I'll see if your son, and your friends will be delighted to see their parents unaware that they'll be sorely disappointed that your broken beneath, and will be servants to me, and my fellow Inner Circle members!" Bishop declared to Melodic Angel.
Melodic Angel just looked down. That was before she remembered something she haven't thought of.
"And now you proven that your weak again. A disgrace." Bishop glared, "Ningirsu get her out of my sight."
His monster charged at Solo. (ATK: 2800 x 2 = 5600)
Suddenly Melodic Angel looked up with a smile. "I let you go first for a reason, I discard Score the Melodious Diva from my hand to activate her special ability!"
Ningirusu: (ATK: 5600 - 5600 = 0)
"What the hell?" Bishop asked in shock.
"When one of my Melodious monsters battles I can discard Score to lower your monster's attack and defense points to zero. Link Monsters might not have defense points but I can still lower Ningirsu's attack points to zero." Melodic Angel explained to him.
Solo counterattacked destroying Ningirsu. (Bishop: 1500)
"Now, you have no monsters left so your turn is over." Melodic Angel told him.
Bishop grunted, "Don't celebrate your victory just yet... I activate Discovery's effect! Once per turn if a World Chalice is destroyed by battle or an effect by you, I can summon a World Chalice from the graveyard!"
Melodic Angel's eyes widened hearing that.
"If he summons Auram, or Ningirsu again then she's toast!" Abyss Manager cried.
"However... That monster regrettably must go to Defense Mode." Bishop grunted.
Melodic Angel nodded hearing that.
"Link Monsters can't go to defense though." Fright Master mentioned as Bishop summoned Chosen ending his turn, "Then she won!"
Melodic Angel 2nd Turn:
Melodic Angel drew her card and smiled.
Solo the Melodious Songstress: (ATK: 2400 - 800 = 1600)

Melodic Angel: 4000
Bishop: 0000
Melodic Angel wins the duel!
She let out a sigh at that. 'Thanks Declan.'
"You did it Zuzu!" Magician grinned, "I knew you can do it!"
She smiled. "Thanks, but I really owe him for helping me figure out a strategy."
"Hey who's that?" Abyss Manager asked looking where Bishop fell where they noticed that someone was with him on the ground.
Seeing that they raced down towards them. Who was there with Bishop... was Emperor.
"Who are you?" Fright Master asked Emperor.
Bishop weakly looked noticing him, "Emperor!"
"Wait, you're Emperor?" Magician asked in shock before frowning. "I challenge you!"
Emperor didn't pay him any mind knelling down to Bishop.
"Emperor... I..." Bishop stated up before Emperor grabbed him the same way he grabbed Lancelot Knight raising up with him as Bishop screamed in pain.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Fright Master asked nervously.
"Order, directive..." Emperor said in his cybernetic voice, "Established by Sir King. When a Inner Circle member loses, take their power."
"Grr... So that was King's plan all along with us huh?" Bishop grunted before somewhat grinning, "Should've known he would plan this far ahead. He is always a clever one."
With that Emperor raised a palm to his chest that shows the Bishop symbol before Bishop was absorbed in him while one of the orbs shows a complete Bishop Chess Piece with the faint Knight Chess Piece. Abyss Manager, Magician, Melodic Angel, and Fright Master stared in horror at that before Magician swallowed nervously.
"Didn't you hear me, I challenge you to a Master Duel."
Emperor didn't respond for a few seconds before snapping his head to him. Magician flinched, and looked slightly nervous but was staring at Emperor. Emperor stared before raising his arm activating his Duel Disk while his faceless mask gave out codes of 0s, and 1s before glowing cleared of the code. Magician activated his own Duel Disk.
"DUEL!"
(Dueling Theme: Face The Day by From Ashes to New)
Magician: 4000

"Coach Y be careful. We've been warned of this guy by Akira." Fright Master told him.

You can only use each effect of "World Legacy - "World Key"" once per turn.
"What's he planning?" Abyss Manager questioned.
"Effect of "World Key". Discard World Legacy Card, Tribute Summon 1 monster this turn." Emperor said discarding a card.
Magician's eyes widened at that.
"Tribute "World Key", and Girsu." Emperor said as the two vanished, "Tribute Summon! World Legacy Guardragon Mardark."

"What is that?" Magician asked in shock
"Mardark effect. All monsters on opponent's field lose 500 points for every dragon on my field!" Emperor called as Marduck released black mist on Magician's field.
Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon: (ATK: 2500 - 500 = 2000/DEF: 2000 - 500 = 1500)
Performapal Whip Snake: (ATK: 1700 - 500 = 1200/DEF: 900 - 500 = 400)
"Set two cards." Emperor said setting his last cards, "Battle. Mardark attacks Performapal Whip Snake! Guardragon Cataclysm!"
Mardark charged a blast firing it at Whip Snake.
"I play the trap Command Performance, since I have a Performapal in play this forces your monsters into defense mode." Magician said quickly.
Command Performance
Normal Trap Card
If you control a "Performapal" monster: Change all face-up Attack Position monsters your opponent controls to Defense Position. Monsters changed to Defense Position by this effect cannot change their battle positions until the end of the next turn.

Emperor: 4000
Magician 2nd Turn:
Magician drew his card before his eyes widened slightly. "I... I switch my monsters to defense mode and that's all I can do."
"Yuya?" Melodic Angel asked off-guard while his monsters switched.
Emperor 2nd Turn:
"My turn." Emperor silently drew, "Activate face-down, Orcustrated Core."

Once per turn: You can banish 1 monster from your field or GY, then target 1 "Orcust" or "World Legacy" card you control, except "Orcustrated Core"; neither player can target it with card effects this turn (even if this card leaves the field). If other "Orcust" and/or "World Legacy" card(s) you control would be destroyed by battle or card effect, you can send this card to the GY instead.
"Banish Girsu, Mardark cannot be targeted by effects this turn." Emperor stated as Girsu vanished from his graveyard.
Magician looked at his deck. 'I've only got one chance, I need to survive this turn and things will start to swing my way.'
"Activate "World Wand" effect in graveyard. Banish this card, summon 1 banished Orcust." Emperor said as Girsu appeared again, "Girsu's effect, send World Legacy card to graveyard. Appear Link of Destruction, and Rebirth!"
The circuit appeared at this. Magician's eyes widened in fear.
"Summoning conditions 2 monsters. Can only be Link Summoned when World Legacy card is in graveyard." Emperor called as Mardark, and Girsu entered the left, and bottom-left arrows, "Link Summon! Link 2, Lib the World Key Blademaster!"
At that a young woman having on blue armor, and a red cape with long blue hair appeared wielding the "World Key" as a sword.

"Why would you do that?" Magician asked as his monsters regained their points.

Performapal Whip Snake: (ATK: 1200 + 500 = 1700/DEF: 400 + 500 = 900)

"Once per turn when Link Monster on my field is destroyed, or left field by the effect of an enemy summon 1 World Legacy from Deck, or hand." Emperor said simply.
'What's he planning?' Magician thought.
"Battle! Lib attacks Whip Snake!" Emperor called as Lib charged at Magician's snake.
"I play Performapal Gumgumouton's Pendulum ability, Whip Snake can't be destroyed by this attack!" Magician called.
Whip Snake was defended from the attack while Emperor sets a card. Magician let out a sigh of relief before looking at his deck. 'If I draw that card I can win this duel and take down Emperor before anybody gets hurt.'
Emperor ended his turn with that.
Magician: 4000
Emperor: 4000
Magician 3rd Turn:
Magician drew his card as his eyes widened and he grinned. "Perfect, using my set Pendulum Scale I Pendulum Summon, Performapal Partnaga, and Performapal Drummerilla!"

"Get him Coach Y!" Fright Master grinned.
"Performapal Partnaga's special ability increases Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon's attack points by 300 for every Performapal on my field, and I have three of them." Magician called.
Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon: (ATK: 2500 + (300 * 3) = 3400)
"Now Odd-Eyes attack Lib the World Key Blademaster with Spiral Flame Strike, and to add to the firepower Performapal Drummerilla gives Odd-Eyes an extra 600 attack points!" Magician called.
Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon: (ATK: 3400 + 600 = 4000)
"Perfect, and since Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon doubles all battle damage this is enough to defeat Emperor in one blast!" Abyss Manager grinned.
Emperor only stared. Odd-Eyes fired a massive blast that hit Lib.
"Yeah it landed a direct hit!" Abyss Manager cried with a grin only for something to pop from the smoke.
"What?" Fright Master questioned. "What happened?"
They looked seeing Lib survived as Emperor revealed, "Trap activate! World Legacy Collapse!"
World Legacy Collapse
Continuous Trap Card
You can banish 1 "World Legacy" monster from your hand, face-up field, or GY, then target 1 Link Monster on the field; it gains ATK equal to the banished monster's original ATK. If a Link Monster(s) you control is destroyed by battle or your opponent card's effect while this card is in your GY: You can banish this card; Special Summon 1 Cyberse Link Monster from your GY. You can only use each effect of "World Legacy Collapse" once per turn.
"Banish World Legacy Guardragon Mardark from graveyard, give Lib attack points equal to Mardark's attack points!" Emperor stated as Lib powered up. (ATK: 2000 + 2600 = 4600)
Lib charged deflecting Odd-Eyes' attacks before giving down a downward slash at Odd-Eyes. Magician's eyes widened. "I use Gumgumouton's Pendulum ability to protect Odd-Eyes!"
Odd-Eyes roared was Lib slashed him.
(Magician: 3400)
Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon: (ATK: 4000 - 600 = 3400)
"I end my turn."
"Ah Yuya nearly had him." Fright Master grunted, "But good thing that Odd-Eyes' boost from Partnaga doesn't fade."
"True, and Drummerllia's boost works even if Odd-Eyes is being attacked." Abyss Manager added.
"But Lib still has Odd-Eyes beat." Melodic Angel said worried.
"Huh, what are you..." Abyss Manager started before his eyes widened. "Wait, why does that monster still have 4600 points?"
"Collapse's boost doesn't fade either." Fright Master said grunting.
"Wait, then what can he do?" Melodic Angel asked fearfully.
Emperor 4th Turn:
"My turn draw." Emperor said drawing looking, "Battle, Lib attacks Odd-Eyes!"
Lib charged at Odd-Eyes again. Magician grunted. "I play Drummerilla's ability and Gumgumouton's Pendulum Effect!"
Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon: (ATK: 3400 + 600 = 4000)
Lib slashed at Odd-Eyes again as it roared in pain. Suddenly Odd-Eyes roared. (ATK: 4000 - 3000 = 1000)
"What?" Magician questioned in shock. "What happened to Odd-Eyes?"
"Activate effect of World Legacy - "World Lance" in hand. Discard card, enemy monster loses 3000 attack points during damage calculation." Emperor revealed showing the card.
"Wait... but that means..." Magician started in horror.
"Yuya!" Melodic Angel, Fright Master, and Abyss Manager cried in horror as Lib slashed through Odd-Eyes before slashing Magician.
He cried out as he was sent flying.
Magician: 0000
Emperor: 4000
Emperor wins the duel!
Magician landed hard as Emperor silently stepped close to him.
"Get away from him!" Melodic Angel cried running to Magician's side.
Emperor stopped the moment Melodic Angel got to Magician as she noticed that he's only unconscious.
"Yuya..." she whispered before holding him with tears.
Emperor stared before saying through a speaker on him, "Zuzu, it's best for you all to leave. What SOL Tech had done to me is making me do this."
Hearing that she turned to him.
"We're not backing down, after everything they did... we won't." Melodic Angel told him before looking down. "We can't."
"Very well. Then the next time you see me be sure to let Playmaker or anyone else real stronger duel me." Emperor said before telling her, "And that I am not what they think. I am actually a broken shell of my former self in a obedient robotic suit."
He turned around walking off before vanishing.
"That... just how disgusting is King?" Fright Master questioned. "Should we tell the others what happened?"
"Come on we better help Yuya." Abyss Manager said before they went to Magician, and Melodic Angel.
Meanwhile...
Emperor appeared where King, and Queen is as they looked at his chest were the orbs are as Queen smirked, "So Bishop has fallen."
"Still with him gone we will have to step up our game." King told her, "You should have a talk with your former subordinate."
"What would you want me to talk to him about?" Queen questioned him.
King only mentioned, "I feel that something will happen with him soon."
Queen only stared before riding off.
With Blue Angel, Elsa, and Baira...
The three girls were watching the battle before Baira's Duel Disk started beeping. Curious she looked at it. Varis sent her a message which was the signal that Akira's ready to be rescue.
"It's time, are you two ready?" Baira asked the girls.
The two nodded as Blue Angel said, "Let's save my brother!"
They rode off to the location.
Ulrich362: Well... this was a bit of a mixed chapter. Bishop falls but so does Yuya.
bopdog111: But unlike them Yuya isn't a victim of vanishing.
Ulrich362: Point taken, so next up will be the rescue mission for Akira?
bopdog111: Along with Skye getting a chance for sweet victory, and redemption on Queen for all the torment she placed on Akira.
Ulrich362: It'll be an intense duel to say the least. See you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Alex, and Leo were only the tip of a big iceberg.
