( for those curious,each part of the prologue takes place before episode 1. Part 1 is 6 months,part 2 is 3 month and part 3 is 1 month.)
As the teacher entered the sparse, white classroom,all but one student rose to their feet. "Good morning Ms. Isabella." they spoke in complete unison. Like the phrase had been drilled into their head. " Good morning class." she replied,her voice clear and direct. Combined with her floor length black dress and brown hair she resembled and old schoolmarm. After her response,all the standing students went back to their desks. Causing the odd student out to raise his hand. "Uh hi…I've been in the medical wing the past few weeks due to a leg injury. What happened to Pr. Sanders?"
"You didn't hear? The Battle Beast went crazy and attacked him!" said Ms.Isabella,pulling a small remote from her sleeves and turning on the video board. Showing a clip of the Tarzan like Battle Beast foaming at the mouth like a rabid dog, surrounded by more rabid and feral beasts like dogs and raccoons. Staring at Sander,who was closer to the camera,like he was about to pounce. The clip was only a few seconds long. Just long enough to show what the teacher meant. " the Beast went completely insane. Ripped Sanders throat out with his teeth!' she said,making gnashing gestures with her hands for emphasis. "we're still figuring out where he got the new cards from." gesturing towards the dog and raccoon from the clip.
"is he OK?' Asked the concerned student,looking shocked at the Beasts sudden shift in behavior. "Dr. Amon managed to subdue him after a few unlucky guards. He's currently in the cell block under the school." answered the teacher. "I convinced Pr. Akaba to allow me to take his place. Citing what happened to the Beast,and Yuri as proof we need to,tone things down." Smiling as she spoke, as if what happened to Sanders was unfortunate,but inevitable. "now,lets begin today's lesson on LVL monsters….."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Ms. Selena, I shall take the first turn." heard Selena,looking over her cards. Her opponent happened to e the schools chief,disciplinarian Dr. Ainz Amon. Who after hearing her goal of going to the front lines of the Academies war decided to "test her skills." as if her skills were in doubt A tall man with very short black hair. A pure black surgeons mask covering up his mouth entirely. The rest of his outfit was black as well,gloves,sweater and pants. Making him look like he was an Amon shaped hole in the world. His German accent had him pronounce Selena's name with as "Selennah",which annoyed her slightly. His office was spartan and oddly quiet. Black carpet,book shelves on the west wall,etc. Though on the east wall was,a record player kept in pristine condition. Which felt oddly out of place in the modern office. Though it also smelled of a mix of pine needles and aloe,Amon's favorite sanitizer brand.
"i shall start off with a field spell,Fanggrove Asylum." the rather simplistic office into the common room of an insane asylum. The floor was white tiles,the support columns painted a bright white as well. Combined with the white furniture the place gave off a vibe of almost unnatural cleanliness. As if every drop of dirt or grime had been exterminated without mercy. Or someone was trying to hide something." by its effect,I add a "Fanggrove Asylum" spell or trap from my deck to my hand." a card popped out of his deck as he spoke. "I then Summon Fanggrove Asylum Staff-Nurse,who's effect summons Fanggrove Asylum Patient Catatonic Girl." instead of emerging through a portal,the door to the common room behind Amon opened and a nurse in Victorian style stepped through. Wearing a mask like Amon's. Pushing a pale girl with shoulder length brown hair. Face frozen in an expression of shock and terror,as if she had seen something truly horrible.
Fanggrove Asylum Staff-Nurse/ LVL 4/DARK/Zombie/effect/1500/1400
Fanggrove Asylum Patient Catatonic Girl/LVL 3/EARTH/Warrior/200/2400
"Nurse, macht es dir etwas aus putting on der record player bitte?" Amon said to his monster,which made Selena tilt her head,not understanding a lick of Amon's German,or why he was talking to his monster. It surprised her even more when the Nurse talked back. Giving a curt "not at all doctor." and placing the needle on the record player. Her voice was oddly low and smooth,almost sultry. The song was an oddly french sounding song*. Which Amon seemed to sing along to as he placed two cards face down. "next I activate the spell I added to mein hand,Fanggrove Asylum Treatment Leech Therapy." a jar or leeches appeared in the Nurses hand,which she opened and placed on the Girls arm. "my Treatment reduces mein Girls def to 100,but gives that lost power to the Nurse."
Catatonic Girl Def 2400 to 100
Nurse Atk to 3900 Def to 3800
"Then,mein Nurses effect activates since she gained 2000 or more attack by en effect,she lets me see and target a card in your hand,and banish it until she leaves the field! Nurse,confiscate the contraband!" the nurse was so fast Selena could barely see her move! Grabbing her Lunalight White Rabbit and shaking her head. "uh uh uh young lady." said the Nurse,scolding Selena. Which just her grunt in annoyance. "during the end phase,the Treatment ends for the Girl,ends. But the boost is permanent for the Nurse."
Catatonic Girl back to 2400
"and now it is your turn Ms. Selena." "I activate Polymerization, I Fuse Lunalight Blue Cat and Lunalight Crimson Fox! Elegant beasts dancing in the moonlight! Swarm together and form a new power! I Fusion summon Lunalight Cat Dancer!" Selena's ace monster emerged,swirling her dark skirt and ribbon around. "then the effect of Crimson Fox activates! Reducing your Nurses attack to 0!" a spectral version of her Fox appeared and clawed at the Nurse,making her nit her eyebrows in annoyance. "now I Activate Lunalight Perfumes effect,bringing back Blue Cat! Who's effect doubles her attack!" Selena's blue cat back flipped out of a graveyard portal,smirking at Amon.
Fanggrove Asylum Staff-Nurse Atk 3900 to 0
Lunalight Cat Dancer 2400 to 4800
"now,Cat Dancer,attack! Finish this duel!" Selena's ace spun and prepared to attack,only for a chain to shoot out of one of Amon's facedowns as it rose. A continuous trap depicting a bald doctor wearing another black surgical mask. Pointing at a white poster depicting a red crossed circle over two figures with fists raised. Showing that fighting would not be tolerated. " Fanggrove Asylum Prohibition-Violence! It automatically negates the attack of opponents monsters as long as I control a Staff member then switches it to defense position. then inflicts 500 damage to you. Which is doubled by mein Field Spell" the chain forced cat dancer to her knees,electricity coursing through the chain.
Selena 4000-1000=3000
Nurse 0 to 3900
"i…end my turn."Selena huffed and said,frustrated her strategy was foiled by one card. "mein turn,I summon another Patient. My Mumbler."a short,thin m an in a white shirt and pants shuffled into the field. Constantly mumbling something and looking around as if he was on guard for something. Hands wrapped around his chest as he walked.
Fanggrove Asylum Patient Mumbler/LVL 3/EARTH/Warrior/2400/200
"now I add another Treatment to my hand. I add Electroshock and Activate it." a strange electrode appeared,a clamp with puffed balls on the ends near it. The Mumbler was suddenly strapped onto a hospital bed,a wooden paddle in his mouth. As the machine turned on,more electricity surged through Selena,causing her to scream in pain. As If she could feel the pain Amon was inflicting on his monster.
Mumbler 2500 to 100
Nurse 3900 to 6300
Selena 3000-2400=600
"when I use Electroshock, I inflict damage equal to half the Atk lost to you,doubled by the effect oy my Asylum." Amon explained,watching Selena pant. The Mumbler was free of his restraints,but looked dazed,like his brain had been fried. Wobbling back and forth on his feet. " When the Mumblers Atk is reduced by at least 2000 I can add another Staff member from mein deck to my hand. Now Nurse,attack Cat Dancer. Finish this duel." as a card popped out of Amon's deck,the Nurse surged forward. Jabbing a needle into Cat Dancers chest. Causing her to slump over and explode into gold dust. The force from it knocking Selena onto her back. Causing her to not see Amon was shuffling his deck for a second round.
Selena 600-3900=0(LOSE)
(WINNER AMON)
"go on,shuffle Ms. Selena. We still have a few more rounds before I feel satisfied." he said,holding out a hand to help her up. Preparing her for Round 2. which played out similar to the first,as did the third,fourth,fifth etc. Ten duels total where done with Amon. Ten rounds of being countered at every turn,ten rounds of "treatments.". He seemed to know just how to counter every move she made. During round 5 for example she manged to get out her Panther Dancer,only for it to be hit with a Bottomless Trap Hole. Round 7 had it be hit by Amon's Fusion monster,with its extra effect burning the last of her lifepoints. Round 9 was close for her,lasting 5 turns and getting him down to 1000 life points. But her opponent quickly gained control and turned the duel around.
" from what I've seen Ms. Selena,you have a problem with long term dueling. Your too Impatient and quick to try and end the duel quickly." Amon said,letting Selena rest after round 10. catching her breath in one of his office chairs. While an aide went to fetch them something to drink." when you lose momentum,you have a hard time getting it back." he said,referencing what happened in round 1. "find some cards to help with recovery and help against negation." typing on his computer,he pulled up "Lunalight Teal Racoon". a lvl 3 DARK Beast Warrior who's effect could have helped against the Asylum Prohibitions. "I'll have a few packs sent to your room for you to check and see what you can add to help your problem." Amon spoke,lifting his mask to sip his lemonade the aide had brought. "alright doctor. I'll try and look." replied Selena,happy to be able to leave the Doctors office,and his weird record player.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"[Silly girl. She has the same problem as most of the academy soldiers. Too much focus on offense, to little defense."] Thought Amon, watching Selena leave his office, taking a sip of his lemonade as well. ["One of these days someone's going to overwhelm her or take advantage of her overextended offense.]" A minute after Selena left,a strange petroglyph in the shape of a red spider appeared on the duelists arm. Two transparent figures appeared in the chairs in front of the desk thirty seconds or so later. One resembled a handsome, sliver haired man with four arms. One pair under the other. Most of his tan skin was exposed, showing off the red lines over his body. He wore no shoes and only a thick web patterned loincloth was his only clothing. His eyes had black scelera with a web patterned instead of an Iris. The other was dressed much more modernly. A red waistcoat with black bowtie around the neck. Black silk pants ending in spats. A small face with whiskery mustache on his face. His eyes were pure red and his hair was as black as Amons. The sliver haired man was making a cats cradle with what seemed to be spider's web with his four hands. While the red eyed man was holding a glass of wine between his fingers. Legs crossed,a smirk on both their faces. "Everything alright Amon? You don't call us unless it's an urgent." Said the red eyed man, taking a sip of his wine.
Reaching into his desk drawer,Amon pulled out what looked like a fusion monster card. Though the text looked to be in a harsh,runic language. Though the attribute (DARK),level(7) and atk and defense (2600/2200) were all readable. Just the name, types and effects were unreadable. The art showed a strange...bear,fox and Wolf hybrid creature. "When I managed to subdue the Battle Beast,we pulled his deck out for study. Most of the cards were normal, but this and the card used to summon it we cannot make heads or tails of ether of them." Amon pulled out another card as he spoke. A spell depicting a razor sharp maw like portal. Leading to a Rocky landscape full of ditches and holes. The card type icon depicted another ring of teeth, just like the portal in the art.
"You know Amon, you could have just asked for a scroll of Comphread Languages. " Said the red eyed man, taking another sip of wine. A playful smirk on his face. ".... you have a spell for understanding languages?" Said the spider man, tilting his head. "I thought I told you dear Uru,I have spells for all sorts of things~." The last part was said with a much more, insidious smirk. A small chuckle after it ended. "..... I'll ask Ms. Isabella to bring one back,Lord Elderane. Moving on, can you translate this?" Said Amon,tapping on the card to get back on topic. "Of course! It's low grade Abyssal. The demons language...." Said Elderane,a small grimace on his face.
"The spells called Abyss Portal. It seems to function as a combination Ritual, Fusion...Synchro and Xyz spell. Allowing the summon of a Demon Lord type monster. Once per duel anyway." He added, scratching his chin. Amon only blinked twice in confusion, and said "..... that would explain why the Beast didn't use a regular polymerization spell." "The monster is Lyssos, the Rabvage Madness. One of the many Demon Lords. Not the brightest bulb, but dangerous nonetheless. Better him then someone like Yenaruis or Catastrophos."
The names were, foreign to Amon. He knew his otherworldly patron was from a different universe. So name dropping entities like that was something he was used to. "The former would probably turn the place inside out with madness, while the later would be a nightmare to fight." The red eyed man continued on. "I see. i would like to check in with my,discples. If you don't mind Lord Elderane. If there is nothing else to discuss." Amon replied,still a little confused. Definitely planning on asking Ms. Isabella for a book on the Demon Lords. The request only made Elderane shrug and smirk. "that's fine. If you need anything just ask."
Both men faded away, Uru saying "I heard a new Dark Signer will be created soon. Make sure your there to welcome him~." Before he left. Once the duo left, Amons mark disappeared and his eyes returned to normal. After a minute or Amon pulled up a video chat split 3 ways on his computer,each taking a few seconds to come up. 1 woman,2 men total joined the chat. The woman looked like a 1920s flapper in a black dress. White cigarette holder in her white gloved hand. Wide brimmed white hat covering her head. One of the men has short brown hair and a labcoat and grey shirt. Like he was a doctor or a scientist. The last man looked like an engineer in his hard hat and overalls. Ear muffs around his neck like he was working somewhere that had loud machinery.
"Hey Dr." "Amon~." "Sup doc?" "Guten Nachmittag everyone. How's everything? Let's start with you, Mariam. As your probably the one with the most mundane news." Amon said, crossing his legs. Mariam was an old friend of his and somewhat partner. An expert in Psychology, especially body language. "not much Amon. Same issues different day." She said, giving a smirk. Her voice smooth and seductive. Like a femme fatale spy in a movie. "I see,I may schedule an appointment with you for Selena. Test some of the cards I gave her." Replied Amon. Causing Mariam to give a small thumbs up and take a drag from her cigarette holder. Blowing blue. Smoke rings as well.
"Albert,how's things with the Crimson Serpent." Amon said, turning towards the man in the lab coat. Who gave a serpentine grin. "father's bioband research has been fully modified. I used a dozen students culled from last week's Chopping Block and I got almost 5% progress. At this rate, he'll be fully recovered and powered in a few weeks." He added,a red snake mark appearing on his neck for a few seconds. His voice was smooth and snake like. Giving the impression of a mad scientist.
"Wunderbar! Keep up the good work Albert!" Amon nodded and said. Turning to the man in the overalls. "And how is the Spirit Gates coming along Alastor?" "Well the good news is they work doc. Bad news is the filters failed. Ten different monsters spilled out and we could only recapture 8 of them." Alastor had a more high pitched and teenager like voice. Like he was still in puberty. "One was a Ninja who leaped past everyone and escaped to who knows where. The other was some tanuki. I barely saw him cuz I was focusing on the King of All Animals trying to break everything!" Alastor snorted and said. Clearly annoyed by the whole thing.
"Best get those filters fixed Alastor." "We're trying doc." Said the duo, Alastor looking exasperated and frustrated. "I will hold you to that Alastor." Said Amon. Gently logging off the chat. Smiling under his mask.
Everything was going according to the Shining Lord's plan.
