Chapter Nineteen
"He's right around this corner, hold tight," Alessia said to Keiji, while going full throttle over the barely used highway. If any police caught up to them, they'd be in one hell of trouble.
Keiji gave the woman a call right after he left their apartment and while initially being insistent on calling the cops, agreed to use the GPS chip in Yuitos Duel Disk to track him. She was able to pinpoint his location in a courtyard surrounded by several abandoned buildings not far from their apartment. Gladly Alessia owned a car and could drive like hell, because it didn't take them long to catch up.
"He should be right back there," Alessia said, parking her car near the streets. This was a slightly more livid part of the town, so she felt comfortable leaving it there while they looked for Yuito.
"Either that or he's in a basement underneath there," Keiji threw in.
"If someone kidnapped him, they wouldn't take the Duel Disk with them," Alessia tried to calm him, "he's gonna be fine, I'm sure he's just hiding behind a bush or something."
"How are you so calm?"
"I don't know," Alessia replied, "I have a feeling like Yuito's alright."
"Let's hope your feelings are right."
"I'm a woman. My feelings are always right."
"Certainly."
As they walked into the backyard, Keiji wasn't sure if he was supposed to just shout Yuitos name. If he was still in danger, it wouldn't be that good, but how else were they gonna find him? Alessia had less caution however, and just yelled "Yuito!" all over the place, her voice echoing from the empty buildings.
They looked like they were abandoned not too long ago, so they had to be careful. Maybe someone was still lurking in there.
"Yuito!" Keiji also yelled, looking through the shrubbery around the place if his friend was sitting somewhere in there like Alessia had predicted.
"Keiji!" he suddenly heard the woman yell over to him, sticking out of a bush herself.
"It's Yuito we're looking for, but close enough," he tried a joke, but when he saw what Alessia had found he wished he hadn't.
She held Yuitos Duel Disk, with the deck slot empty.
"So he lost it," Keiji said, desperate at the thought they lost their only way to locate his best friend.
"Either that," Alessia mused, "or someone planted it here thinking he might come looking for it."
"So the bad guys set up a trap?" Keiji asked.
"Could be. I mean why would he take out the deck before accidentally losing it," she said, "but he most likely failed, since he probably wanted to attract Yuito and now he got us."
"Is that a good sign or a bad sign?" Keiji asked, "because that would mean that Yuito escaped whoever was after them."
"Yes, probably," Alessia tried to calm him, "that gives us more time. Let's go."
Alessia turned to go, but as she tried to leave the backyard the way they came in, it was almost like she ran into an invisible wall.
"Ouch," she yelled, "what the fuck is..."
She didn't finish her sentence however, as both her and Keiji watched in awe as an orange force field formed up around them, trapping them in it.
"What is this?" Alessia asked bewildered.
Keiji took a moment to catch his breath again, before he answered her: "This is a Crosspoint."
"Like in that old legend, that Yuito told me about?" Alessia asked.
"Exactly," he replied, "this is so crazy."
"Indeed. What is this even?"
"A force field. It forces us to do a Contest of Champions to claim the Crosspoint," Keiji explained, "or that's what Yuito and Hatsuko told me. But this doesn't make sense."
"Hatsuko?" Alessia asked, "the girl that dueled against Yuito in the tournament? Also, I agree. This doesn't make sense."
"No," Keiji replied, "I mean, Hatsuko and Yuito said that, in order to compete in a Contest of Champions together, one must be conflicted at heart. That's why it didn't work with him and me. Maybe that was also because the Crosspoint was already gone but that's up for debate."
"Alright," Alessia said confused, before turned her head to the sky: "Listen, whosoever in charge of this, us picking on each other is just friendly banter, I don't really dislike him."
"Same to be honest," Keiji said, "but I doubt we can argue with it."
"So what do we do now?" Alessia asked, "how do we get out of here?"
Keiji took off his backpack and took out his Duel Disk before answering: "We play along. A duel has been our go to method for those things."
Alessia just stared blankly at him for a few moments: "Keiji we don't have time for this, we should be looking for Yuito!"
"Do you have a better idea, Miss Know-it-all?"
After a short moment of consideration, she eventually also readied her Duel Disk: "This better work, I'm not gonna lose my best client because I'm wasting my time playing games."
"Don't worry, I'll finish you off quickly."
"You wish."
Alessia: 4000 LP
Keiji: 4000 LP
"I'll be a bold lady and take the first move," Alessia said before taking her first card out of her hand, "I Normal Summon Violent Needle Groza." The monster that appeared on her side of the field was a female wasp, its arm extending into a short gun, however, it was still heavy enough it had to use its other arm to support it.
Violent Needle Groza: WIND / Insect-Type / Effect / Level 1 / 100 ATK / 100 DEF
"When Groza is Normal Summoned, I can immediately pull another Level 1 Insect monster from my deck." She looked through her deck until she found the proper card, and placed it on her Duel Disk: "I choose my Violent Stinger!" The new monster that appeared in wrong of her resembled a wasp as well, except it was shorter in size, and instead of carrying a gun it had a large spike sticking out of its rear end, aiming it at Keiji.
Violent Stinger: DARK / Insect-Type / Effect / Level 1 / 100 ATK / 100 DEF
"When Stinger is Special Summoned," Alessia went on, "I can Special Summon a copy of Violent Stinger Drone straight from my Deck." A third wasp appeared on her field, again smaller than the last one, sporting a slightly smaller spike.
Violent Stinger Drone: DARK / Insect-Type / Effect / Level 1 / 100 ATK / 100 DEF
"Let me guess," Keiji cut her off, "it has yet another effect to Summon even more Insects to your field?"
He remembered her duel against Yuito, at least well enough to know that even damage of just one-hundred at a time can rack up rather quickly.
"Well, almost. Upon being Summoned while I control only Level 1 monsters, it allows me to add 2 more Level 1 Insect monsters straight from my deck to my hand. And for that I choose my Violent Stinger Queen and a second copy of Violent Needle Groza."
"That's what I call an engine if I've ever seen one."
"You're right about that," she continued, "but I'm far from finished. From my hand I activate the Ritual Spell Card Violent Summoning."
As she slotted the card into her Duel Disk, she earned a scoff from Keiji: "You're using Rituals now?"
"There were always these Ritual Cards for the deck I've been using, and Yuito does pull it off, so why not try it out?"
"I mean, if you have to."
"I tribute off my Violent Needle Groza! Ritual Summon! Cast your grace upon my field and have your underlings destroy my opponent! Level 1, Violent Stinger Queen!" The monster with the gun arm disappeared into yellow dust, which reformed to form a much larger new monster. Figuratively, it resembled the other two Violent Stinger monsters she had used, except it was much larger. Instead of just a spike sticking out, it had a machine gun mounted to its rear.
Violent Stinger Queen: DARK / Insect-Type / Ritual / Effect / Level 1 / 100 ATK / 100 DEF
"Impressive, for that small ATK score," Keiji said, "but you can do better than this. Come on, bring it."
"You'd wish you hadn't said that," Alessia continued, "I activate my Spell Card Violent Swarming. It allows me to target a Level 1 Insect I control and Summon more copies of it from my deck, but I cannot Summon monsters with a Level higher than 1 while I control any of them. I choose my Violent Stinger Drone." Two more copies of the small monster appeared on her field.
Violent Stinger Drone: DARK / Insect-Type / Effect / Level 1 / 100 ATK / 100 DEF (2x)
"This does trigger one of my Queens effects. Whenever a monster is Summoned, she will gain 100 ATK for each Level 1 monster on the field." Her monster emerged a near mechanical buzzing sound, as its attack points rose.
Violent Stinger Queen: 100 ATK → 600 ATK
"I do then Set one card face-down and end my turn."
"Five monsters look rather good as a start," Keiji said, "but I'm sure I can undo that. From my hand I activate my Continuous Spell Card Force Conductor! Upon activation, I can add my trusted Bullet Spark from my deck to my hand." A large figure made of copper cables appeared behind Keiji, sparking with energy, as he took the monster card out of his deck.
"As I control a Continuous Spell Card," he continued, "I can Special Summon Bullet Spark straight from my hand." A tiny bullet appeared on Keijis field, glowing in vibrant blue.
Bullet Spark: LIGHT / Thunder-Type / Effect / Level 4 / 1200 ATK / 1200 DEF
"To bad that is only going to empower my queen," Alessia interrupted him, "thanks for that."
Violent Stinger Queen: 600 ATK → 1100 ATK
"Then, I'll use my Normal Summon for my Boltedge Double Wielder," Keiji went on unfazed, and a human figure wielding two revolvers appeared on his field, being completely obscured by the electric current running all over its body.
Boltedge Dual Wielder: LIGHT / Thunder / Effect / Level 4 / 1600 ATK / 1000 DEF
Violent Stinger Queen: 1100 ATK → 1600 ATK
"Upon Normal Summon, my Dual Wielder lets me activate a Conductor Spell Card straight from my deck, just like my Fuse Conductor!" A second figure made of copper wires appeared behind Keiji, being slightly differently shaped than the other.
"And because I now control two Continuous Spell Cards, including one which grants me an additional Normal Summon, I can now Summon my Boltedge Lightning Gunner without tributes!" The two figures cracked with lightning as Keijis monster appeared in front of him; A humanoid figure made of copper cable instead of flesh, wearing bronze armor and carrying a huge gun formed of various wires and diodes.
Boltedge Lightning Gunner: LIGHT / Thunder-Type / Effect / Level 8 / 2800 ATK / 1100 DEF
Violent Stinger Queen: 1600 ATK → 2100 ATK
"And all of this amounts to… what to be precise? Come on, we don't have all day."
"Says the one who spent her entire turn putting weak insects in Attack Position on her field."
"Touche."
"Lightning Gunner, attack Violent Stinger Queen!" The gunman readied its weapon and did a quick snipe shot at the large insect, which recoiled, but didn't disappear.
"I activate my Trap Card," Alessia said, "Spirit Barrier. It will protect me from taking Battle Damage as long as I still control face-up monsters!" A misty barrier formed around her, absorbing the stray energy from Lightning Gunners attack that was about to strike her.
"This explains the Attack Position," Keiji mused, "but it doesn't explain why your monster wasn't destroyed."
"See," Alessia explained, "as long as there's a Level 1 Monster on my field, my Queen cannot be slain, be it by battle or by card effects."
"So it gets stronger each time one of us Summons something, but I cannot blow it up when it is still small?"
"You got it in a box right there."
"That's unfortunate. Well, I still have two attacks left, don't I? Bullet Spark, Dual Wielder, take out two Drones!" Bullet Spark darted across the field and straight through one of the wasps, which shattered into pieces at the impact, while the gunman took out another one with its revolvers.
"To bad that didn't do any damage either," Alessia cockily said behind her barrier, but was silenced when one of the copper figures behind Keiji flared with life.
"To bad my Force Conductor doesn't just look flashy. When one of your cards is destroyed and a Thunder-Type is the culprit, it will deal 1000 points of damage to you. Effect Damage, to be exact, so your barrier is null and void."
The woman screamed as the lightning struck her, dropping her Life Points by a fair amount.
Alessia: 4000 LP → 3000 LP
"That's one card to watch out for," Alessia replied, "are you finished?"
"Almost," Keiji said as he took two more cards from his hand, "I Set two cards, then I end my turn."
"Then it's mine again," his opponent said, as she drew her card, "I Normal Summon my Violent Needle Groza." Another one of the wasp with a gun for an arm appeared on Alessias field.
Violent Needle Groza: WIND / Insect-Type / Effect / Level 1 / 100 ATK / 100 DEF
Violent Stinger Queen: 2100 ATK → 2500 ATK
"I think you remember what my Groza does, when it is Normal Summoned, I may pull another Level 1 Insect from my deck. I choose a second Violent Stinger."
Violent Stinger: DARK / Insect-Type / Effect / Level 1 / 100 ATK / 100 DEF
Violent Stinger Queen: 2500 ATK → 3000 ATK
"Seems like my Queen just very effectively overpowered your entire field," Alessia said, "should we just move to battle now?"
"Do what you may. I doubt you'll pull off."
"Oh, so you think I'll beat over your Lightning Gunner and barely but a dent in your Life Points?" Alessia mocked Keiji, "sorry to disappoint you, Queen, attack Keiji directly!"
"It can do… what?" Keiji yelled shocked, before he flipped his face-down card up, "I activate my Shell Shock Virus!"
"Now, what does that do to halt my attack?" While she was speaking, the insect started to rev up its machine gun.
"Nothing," Keiji said, breathing heavily, "but it lets me tribute one of my Thunder Monsters to destroy all monsters you control with less ATK than that monster. And since there's a large discrepancy between your monsters, I'll just tribute my Bullet Spark!"
The small monster started to glow with energy, before combusting in a large electrical pulse which annihilated most of Alessias monsters.
"Too bad that didn't stop my attack, sweetheart," she continued, but Keiji cut her off.
"That's not how replays work," he said, "Your attack is repeated, and I get a window to activate the effect of my Boltedge Lightning Gunner! By banishing my Bullet Spark from the grave, I can destroy any card you control! And since I just got rid of your Level 1 monsters, Queen should be free for grasp." The Thunder monster exited Yuitos Graveyard just as quickly as it entered it, before the gunman's rifle charged up.
"While I may not word by word remember how replays work," Alessia retorted, "I am very well aware on how continuous effects interact with activated effects. I use my Quick-Play Spell Card Violent Reborn! It allows me to bring back two of my fallen Level 1 Monsters! I choose my two Level 1 Violent Stingers!" The needle-armed wasps returned to Alessias field, successfully making Queens protection kick back in.
Violent Stinger: DARK / Insect-Type / Effect / Level 1 / 100 ATK / 100 DEF (2x)
Violent Stinger Queen: 3000 ATK → 3300 ATK
"Fuck," Keiji slipped, "well, my monsters effect doesn't target, so at least I get to blow up one of those Level 1 monsters." The marksman redirected its shot towards one of the smaller insects, but the large Queen didn't wait just one more second before it riddled Keiji with bullets.
Keiji: 4000 LP → 700 LP
As Keiji sunk to his knees following the attack, one of the figures behind him flared to life. Alessia, already anticipating the hit, shrouded herself from the incoming lightning strike.
Alessia: 3000 LP → 2000 LP
"Well," Alessia continued, "looks like I have to end my turn here. Enjoy the last one you're gonna get."
"My turn," Keiji said as he drew his card. Alessia was right, he had to end the duel this turn.
'Or,' he thought as he examined the card he drew, 'do I?'
"I activate my Equip Spell Card Boltedge Conductor Armor and equip it to Lightning Gunner!" Several copper wires adorned with fuses and electrodes wrapped themselves around lightning gunner, severely bulking up its physics.
Boltedge Lightning Gunner: 2800 ATK → 3100 ATK
"Unless you have a second one of those, that's close but not enough," Alessia mocked the cards power increase.
"Who said I use it for power? Conductor Armor has two effects, depending on whose turn it is. On mine, it makes you unable to activate effects in response to my attacks and on yours it renders my monster unaffected by all other card effects. Doesn't that sound good?"
"I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish. Both Queen and Spirit Barrier are continuous effects, you're not gonna negate them with that. And once my next turn rolls around, I'll just attack you directly and win."
"Let's see about that," Keiji replied, "Lightning Gunner, attack her second Violent Stinger!" The monster aimed its gun at the small insect and fired, tearing it to shreds with its electric energy. Alessia, however, was still protected by her misty barrier.
"Now your Queens protection is gone," he said, "and since one of my Thunder-Types just destroyed your monster by battle..."
The didn't finish the sentence as Alessia already knew what was coming for her, as lightning struck from the copper figure behind her opponent.
Alessia: 2000 LP → 1000 LP
"And now what?" she asked, "you have no monsters in your grave to destroy my Queen, and she will just attack you directly by the time of my next Battle Phase."
"I got this planned out, don't you worry."
"I wouldn't worry about you in general."
"I end my turn."
Slightly flabbergasted, Alessia drew her card: "You know you're gonna lose now, right?"
"During your Standby Phase," Keiji ignored her quip, "I activate my last remaining Trap Card: Power Outage. It destroys all face-up Thunder and Machine monsters I control and lets me draw one card for each."
"And since your Armor makes Lightning Gunner unaffected, you simply put one more monster for Lightning Gunners effect in the grave."
"Precisely."
"Nice concept. Bad execution," Alessia replied, as Keijis last Trap Card emitted an EMP, deep-frying and destroying Dual Wielder.
"What do you mean?"
"From my hand, I activate my Violent Interceptor. If a card on the field is destroyed, Interceptor will Special Summon itself from my hand. And, it cannot be destroyed by card effects, de facto also rendering Queen indestructible by card effects, at least once per turn but that's all I should need.." A new monster appeared on Alessias field, a small wasp like the rest of those in her deck, but instead of a gun, it had an emitter attached to its rear, which emitted a small force field around itself.
Violent Interceptor: DARK / Insect-Type / Effect / Level 1 / 100 ATK / 100 DEF
"I didn't expect that, I admit it," Keiji replied.
"So you're accepting the fact you lost?"
"Barely. I nevertheless activate the effect of my Lightning Gunner, banishing Dual Wielder from my grave to destroy your Interceptor." Keijis monster took aim at the insect and shot, but while it managed to break through the barrier, the monster remained face-up.
"Interesting struggle."
"Not quite," Keiji continued, "when my Dual Wielder is banished, it allows me to destroy a monster on the field as well. And I think your Interceptor won't stand a second hit."
"Wait," Alessia looked over to the figures behind her opponent, "but that means..."
"Yes!" Keiji cut her off, as a lightning from the sky struck her small insect, destroying it for good, before a second one shot out of Force Conductor and struck the woman with full force.
Alessia: 1000 LP → 0 LP
"That was… quite… something..." Alessia said breathlessly, but Keiji didn't pay attention to her.
Instead, he watched the orange force field wrap back and shrink into a tiny orb, which entered his Lightning Gunner card. Truth be told, he didn't believe the story when Yuito showed him his Runecross End Sorcerer. But now he had one on his own. A card on par with Yuitos, or with Hatsukos Psydame Magi-Veronique. His newly upgraded Lightning Gunner. No. His Nuclear Gunner.
But he couldn't really fixate on it too long.
"Let's go," he said to Alessia, "we need to go find Yuito, we wasted enough time here."
"I don't think we should go right away," she replied, blocking Keijis path, "just a few more seconds."
"What do you mean?"
"Just wait."
He was about to ask what Alessia was waiting for, but he was cut off when a blue light suddenly illuminated the backyard, before it lost intensity but still remained.
As Keiji turned around, he saw that Tian had appeared right behind him.
"Is this guy bothering you?" he asked, addressing Alessia.
"I'm sorry Keiji," she said, "but we cannot afford to lose this Crosspoint. We need to even the odds."
"What are you talking about?" Keiji turned back to her, "you know Tian?"
As he tried to walk over to her, he found that his way was blocked by yet another forcefield. One which varied in orange and blue colours.
"Just as she said," Tian said, "we need to even the odds. So I'll be taking this Crosspoint from you. Either hand it over or be prepared for a Contest of Champions."
"Make sure he doesn't remember," Alessia said, presumable addressing Tian, before she left the backyard.
"I'll be thorough," Tian took a few steps back, readying his Duel Disk to fight Keiji.
"You know what? I'll crush you like I crushed her!" Keiji yelled at the man, restarting his Duel Disk as well.
Tian: 4000 LP
Keiji: 4000 LP
"I think its okay if I just take the start," Tian said, "and I do so by Normal Summoning my Netherfly – Luci the Guide." A small blue firefly appeared on Tians field, bearing a faint blue light.
Netherfly – Luci the Guide: FIRE / Insect-Type / Level 4 / 1650 ATK / 0 DEF
"My next card is my Spell Card Unsettling Guidance," Tian continued, "it allows me to inflict damage to you equal to half the ATK of a Netherfly monster I control. If you would control a monster, I'd be able to search for a Ritual Monster or Spell thereafter, but… I think this will do."
The small firefly formed a flame in front of itself, launching it at Keiji, who's Life Points fell on impact.
Keiji: 4000 LP → 3175 LP
And upon impact, Keiji also fell to the ground, screaming wildly, clawing his right arm. His sweatshirt was burning. Not solid vision, actual fire. Keiji tried his hardest to rip his sweatshirt off while he still had the Duel Disk on, before he examined his arm.
Red skin, burns, blisters. And it hurt like hell.
"What the fuck was that?" he yelled at Tian, who just chuckled at the remark.
"The orange Crosspoint is a fascinating thing," he simply replied, "just thinking about something hard enough might make it appear out of thin air."
"Why would my Crosspoint set me on fire!?" Keiji yelled. The adrenaline slowly disappeared, only worsening the pain in his arm.
"Solid vision is a fascinating thing as well. So lifelike. Almost like it could trick the brain into thinking what it saw was real," Tian continued, "except yours does actually make them real. So in a way, your Crosspoint didn't set you on fire. Your head set you on fire."
To Keijis shocked face, he just chuckled: "This is gonna be a fun."
Keiji had been hurt before. Often. And badly. But there was no getting used to it.
Everything hurt. His right arm specifically. His face. His legs. Everything. He could barely move. Hell, he could barely think straight.
He didn't know how long he had been lying here before he was able to catch a clean thought. He didn't want to know.
He didn't know where Tian went after he had taken the Crosspoint from him. He didn't want to know either.
All he wanted was for the pain to go away. But he couldn't move. All he could do was move his hands to his Duel Disk. To make a last-ditch effort, to touch the app that his sister had placed there.
To call for help.
If it wasn't too late.
