Chapter 4: A New Partner & A New Deck! Birth Of The Red-Eyes Cyberse!
The portal opened up with Michael and Red-Eyes leading everyone else out.
Michael – "Welcome to Duel Academy everyone."
Yugi – "Wow. So this is where Jaden and his friends went to school."
Michael hand Yugi a photo.
Tristan – "Who's that?"
Michael – "Sheppard. He's the chancellor of Duel Academy. If any of the teachers ask, just tell them that you're with me and they'll take you right to Sheppard. There you can explain to him the current situation involving Rensho."
Michael then starts walking away.
Tea – "Where are you going?"
Michael – "Look around the island to see what's different. Sheppard doesn't mind."
Rebecca – "Stay safe!"
Michael – "I will!"
While Michael walked off towards the forest, Yugi and co. made their way towards the Academy. There they came across Dr. Crowler.
Yugi – "Excuse me sir. Are you a teacher here?"
Crowler – "Why yes I am. Dr. Vellian Crowler, head of Obelisk Blue at your service. Are you all new students here?"
Duke – "Not quite Dr. Crowler. We're actually here with our friend Michael."
Crowler – "You mean Michael Masi, right?"
Tea – "The same."
Crowler – "Follow me then."
Crowler lead the group to Sheppard's office. He then slowly opened the door.
Crowler – "Chancellor Sheppard. There are some guests here to see you."
Sheppard – "Bring them in Crowler."
Crowler led Yugi and the others into Sheppard's office.
Sheppard – "Yugi. Everyone. Welcome to Duel Academy."
Yugi – "Thank you Sheppard."
Sheppard – "I'm guessing Michael is the reason for you all being here. And I think I know why."
Yugi – "You know of Rensho then?"
Crowler – "When it comes to Michael, who doesn't? The two of them are complete polar opposites."
Joey – "Too right."
Sheppard – "Anyway. Let's head to the arena and wait for Jaden and his friends."
Yugi – "Have any of them been told about the current situation?"
Sheppard – "No. But I'm sure Jaden has a bit of an idea already."
An hour later, Jaden and his friends finally arrived.
Jaden – "Hey Yugi. Nice to see you again."
Yugi – "Likewise Jaden. We haven't seen since the two of us and Yusei defeated Paradox right?"
Jaden – "Pretty much. Where is Michael by the way?"
Sheppard – "He's going around the island to make sure nothing is out of place. He's always done it for us before."
Tea – "Yeah. But he's been gone for over an hour now."
? – "Perhaps we can explain why."
Dark Sorceress and a female Neos appeared.
Yugi – "Dark Sorceress. Neas."
Jaden – "You two know where Michael is?"
Neas – "Pretty much."
Joey – "So where is he then?"
Dark Sorceress – "Well…"
-Earlier With Michael-
Michael had broken off from the others so he could make sure that everything on the island was as it should be. While walking through the forest with Red-Eyes beside him, they noticed something falling from the sky. The object then crash landed somewhere further into the forest.
Red-Eyes – "What was that Michael?"
Michael – "I don't know Red-Eyes. But let's go find out."
Red-Eyes – "Right."
They quickly made their way to where the object landed. There they found a small pod. Michael walked over and placed his hand on the pod, which caused it to open up.
Red-Eyes – "What Did You Do?!"
Michael – "I Don't Know!"
The pod opened up revealing two things inside it. A deck and a duel disk. But the duel disk wasn't a normal one.
Red-Eyes – "What kind of duel disk is this?"
Michael realized right away.
Michael – "It's a Vrains duel disk!"
Red-Eyes – "Then the deck must be…"
Michael checked the deck.
Michael – "You're right Red-Eyes. It's a Cyberse deck."
Red-Eyes – "But I thought that just Playmaker had the Cyberse deck."
Michael – "This could be the sister one. Don't forget, I have the sister deck of the rest of our friends too."
Red-Eyes – "That's true."
? – "My head…"
Their attention was then brought back to the duel disk as a being of digital energy came out of the top of the duel disk.
Red-Eyes – "Who's this Michael?"
Michael – "I believe it's an Ignis Red-Eyes. Looks like a female version of Ai."
Ignis – "You two know my little brother?"
Michael – "Yep. In fact, a very good friend of mine was his partner."
Ignis – "Was."
Red-Eyes – "Ai's been presumed dead for over three months now. But Playmaker is still trying to find him."
Ignis – "I see…"
Michael – "What's your name?"
Ignis – "I don't have one."
Michael thought for a second before coming to a name.
Michael – "How does Mimi sound?"
Mimi – "Mimi?"
Red-Eyes – "It's practically the female version of your little brother's given name of Ai."
Mimi – "Mimi it is then. And your names?"
Michael – "I'm Michael Masi."
Red-Eyes – "And I'm Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon, Michael's ace monster."
Mimi – "Nice to meet you both then."
Michael/Red-Eyes – "Same here Mimi."
Michael – "Know what. Let's go into Vrains and search for clues about Ai at least."
Mimi – "You two would do that for me?"
Red-Eyes – "Of course Mimi. You're our friend after all."
Mimi was trying not to cry.
Mimi – "Thank you. Both of you."
Michael – "Not a problem Mimi. Now before we get going. Dark Sorceress! Neas!"
Both female duel spirits appeared in front of Michael.
Neas – "We heard everything Michael. You want us to head back and tell the others right?"
Michael – "If you both could please."
Dark Sorceress – "You can count on us Michael."
Michael – "Thanks you two."
Neas – "Let's go Sorceress."
Dark Sorceress – "Right behind you Neas."
Once they were gone, Michael returned to the other two females with him.
(Insert Music: Yu-Gi-Oh Vrains OST – Playmaker's Theme)
Michael – "Ready to go then you two?"
Red-Eyes/Mimi – "Ready!"
Mimi returned to the duel disk, while Red-Eyes returned to her main deck.
Michael – "Now then. Deck Set! Into The Vrains!"
Michael slammed his newly obtained Cyberse deck into the duel disk, where the phrase 'Into The Vrains' appeared on the side. Michael's body was then surrounded by a digital sphere, which gave him a new outfit for Link Vrains. A skintight bodysuit that was a mixture of purple, black, and white, along with numerous pieces of armor on it. He had also gained a dragon tail and wings that were half blue and half crimson. His black hair had gained purple highlights in it as well. Once inside, he took a quick look at his surroundings.
(Music Ends)
Michael – "So this is Link Vrains huh?"
Mimi – "First time in here I see?"
Michael – "Yeah. Sorry."
Mimi – "Don't be. I believe that you'll find your way around here on your own in no time."
Michael – "Thanks Mimi."
Mimi – "Gotta be supportive wherever I can."
Michael – "Alright then. Now to find a spot where I can contact the others from."
-Present Time-
Neas – "…And that's what happened."
Yusei, Yuma, and Yuya, along with the rest of their friends, had joined Yugi and Jaden's group through communicator. They had all listened to Dark Sorceress and Neas's explanation of Michael's current situation,
Akiza – "So he's currently in Link Vrains right now?"
Neas – "As we speak."
Dark Sorceress's communicator went off.
Dark Sorceress – "Speaking of Michael."
A monitor with a large screen appeared next to Neas and Dark Sorceress. It then showed Michael in Link Vrains.
Michael – "Hey guys!"
Yuma – "Hey Michael! Rocking the new outfit,"
Michael – "Thanks."
Sherry – "So why are you in Link Vrains?"
Michael – "To help Mimi find her brother."
Kari – "Mimi?"
Mimi suddenly popped out of the duel disk.
Mimi – "Hello everyone!"
Yusei – "So this is Mimi?"
Michael – "Yep. She's what's known as an Ignis here in Link Vrains."
Bruno – "Ignis?"
Michael – "The Ignis are AI with free will, created by Dr. Kogami through the Hanoi Project. They created and inhabit the Cyberse World. According to Varis, the Ignis would one day be the end of humanity. For this reason, the Knights of Hanoi led by Varis were trying to kill all the Ignis with aid in this mission from Dr. Kogami's avatar. Prior to the Light Ignis, Lightning's, betrayal, the Ignis wanted to live peacefully and each had the potential to coexist with humanity."
Mimi – "Because of the attack on Cyberse World, the Ignis are divided on the idea of connecting with humans. Dr. Kogami's prediction eventually comes to pass as Lightning declared war on humanity and rewriting Windy's code to aid him, while my brother Ai, Flame and Aqua support humanity. Earth was neutral before his termination at the hands of SOL Technologies."
Michael – "It is still believed that there are no more Ignis alive. Despite being defeated, however, it is rumored that Ai was seen floating inside the network in his eyeball form, thus leaving his fate ambiguous."
Mimi – "Brother…"
Michael – "Don't fret Mimi. Like Red-Eyes and I said. We'll help you find Ai. Okay?"
Mimi – "Thank you Michael."
Suddenly, an explosion was heard off in the distance.
Mimi – "What was that?"
Akiza saw what it was.
Akiza – "Michael! The screen!"
Michael quickly looked towards where Akiza was pointing, and he didn't like what he saw.
Michael – "Not good."
The giant screen showed a female Vrains user, Blue Maiden, being targeted by a Knight of Hanoi and his Cracking Dragon on top of a roof. Another female user, Ghost Girl, and four male users, Soulburner, Revolver, Go, and Blood Sheppard were trying to distract the Knight of Hanoi long enough for Blue Maiden to get away.
Michael – "I'll never make it up there in time. Not by running at least."
Michael whistled, and his Duel Runner quickly appeared. He got on and made haste to assist saving Blue Maiden.
Michael – "Gladis. D-Wheel Flight Mode please."
Gladis – "Activating D-Wheel Flight Mode."
Michael's Duel Runner immidently turned into a hover bike. He then quickly took to the skies to help save Blue Maiden. Meanwhile, the diversion worked, but only for a split second.
Knight Of Hanoi – "Get her! Cracking Dragon!"
Cracking Dragon fired its attack at Blue Maiden.
Akira – "Skye!"
Ghost Girl/Soulburner/Revolver/Go/Blood Sheppard – "Blue Maiden!"
Blue Maiden then did the only reasonable thing she could think of. She stepped off the roof. Sure, she was falling to her death, but she also avoided Cracking Dragon's attack as well. Suddenly, she felt someone catch her.
Michael – "I got you!"
Michael had seen Blue Maiden fall, so he quickly decided to have Gladis engage the autopilot and jump towards Blue Maiden, miraculously catching her in the process.
Everyone – "He caught her!"
Michael quickly whistled for his Duel Runner, where it sped under and caught him and Blue Maiden. He then placed Blue Maiden on the seat behind him.
Michael – "You okay?"
Blue Maiden – "Y-Yes. Thank you um…"
Michael – "Name's Michael. Michael Masi."
Blue Maiden – "Thank you for saving me Michael."
Michael – "Not a problem. By the way, you and your friends don't mind if I take this clown down, do you?"
The Knight of Hanoi heard Michael.
Knight of Hanoi – "So I'm a clown huh? Well then boy. How about I give you a shot."
Michael – "And just what do you mean by that?'
Knight of Hanoi – "One chance. I'll give you just one turn to beat me. What do you say?"
Michael – "Deal."
Knight of Hanoi – "Fine then. The next turn is yours, boy. Be sure to make it count."
Michael – "Oh I will."
Michael - LP: 4,000, Hand: 5
Knight of Hanoi - LP: 4,000, Hand: 0
Turn ?: Michael
Michael – "My turn! I draw!"
Michael saw that his victory was already in hand.
Michael – "First I summon Red-Eyes Black Chick in Attack Position!"
Red-Eyes Black Chick - Lv. 1, ATK: 800, DEF: 500
Knight of Hanoi – "Cracking Dragon's effect! Until the end of this turn, whenever you summon exactly 1 monster to your field, it loses ATK equal to its level x200, and you take damage equal to the amount of ATK lost!"
Blue Maiden – "Red-Eyes Black Chick is Level 1, so she loses 200 ATK."
Soulburner – "And Michael loses the same amount in Life Points."
(200 x 1 = 200)
Red-Eyes Black Chick's ATK: 800 – 200 = 600
Michael's LP: 4,000 – 200 = 3,800
Michael – "I activate Red-Eyes Black Chick's effect! By sacrificing her, I can special summon Red-Eyes Black Dragon from my hand!"
Red-Eyes Black Dragon - Lv. 7, ATK: 2,400, DEF: 2,000
Knight of Hanoi – "Cracking Dragon's effect activates again!"
(200 x 7 = 1,400)
Red-Eyes Black Dragon's ATK: 2,400 – 1,400 = 1,000
Michael's LP: 3,800 – 1,400 = 2,400
Michael – "And by her effect from my hand, I can tribute Red-Eyes Black Dragon to special summon my beloved and true ace, Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon!"
Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon - Lv. 9, ATK: 2,400, DEF: 2,000
Knight of Hanoi – "Cracking Dragon's effect activates once more!"
Michael – "Then I'll counter with Red-Eyes' effect, which allows her to gain 300 ATK for each Dragon-Type in my grave. I currently have two, so that's 600 additional ATK!"
(200 x 9 = 1,800)
(2 x 300 = 600)
Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon's ATK: 2,400 – 1,800 = 600 + 600 = 1,200
Michael's LP: 2,400 – 1,800 = 600
(Insert Music: Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal Sound Duel 3 – The Fated Finals)
Knight of Hanoi – "Well boy. Seems like you're gonna crash and burn before even having a chance to attack."
Michael – "Is that so?"
Knight of Hanoi – "Huh?"
Michael – "I activate Rank-Up-Magic, Crimson Force!"
Ghost Girl – "Rank…"
Soulburner – "…Up…"
Revolver – "…Magic…"
Go – "…Crimson…"
Blood Sheppard – "…Force?"
Michael – "This card will Rank-Up a Dragon-Type monster on my field, and special summon a Chaos Dragon Xyz! I rebuild the overlay network with my Level 9 Red-Eyes! Chaos Xyz Evolution! Appear, Rank 10, Chaos Dragon Xyz! Dark Queen of Dragons! Embrace the light of hope! And let it bring forth an evolution whose power shall lead to everlasting victory! Dark Dragon Queen of Wishes, Red-Eyes Darkness Victory Dragon!"
Red-Eyes spread her arms out in front of the upright black xyz card as she donned Utopia Ray Victory's armor, with the white parts becoming black. This is Red-Eyes Victory's human form.
Red-Eyes Darkness Victory Dragon - Rk. 10, ATK: 3,700, DEF: 3,500, Overlay Units: 1
Blue Maiden – "She's beautiful…"
Michael – "Now I activate Overlay Recall! This spell lets me bring back at least 1 monster that was used for an xyz summon! Return to me, Red-Eyes!"
Knight of Hanoi – "Cracking Dragon's effect! You lose boy!"
Michael – "When Crimson Force is activated, the effects of all face-up cards on my opponent's field are negated!"
Knight of Hanoi – "What?!"
Michael – "I activate Red-Eyes Victory's three effects! First effect! She gains 500 ATK and an additional attack for each Dragon-Type monster on my field and in my grave! I have two dragons in my grave and another two on my field! So she gains 2,000 ATK and 4 additional attacks!"
(4 x 500 = 2,000)
Red-Eyes Victory's ATK: 3,700 + 2,000 = 5,700
Red-Eyes Victory's Additional Attacks: 0 + 4 = 4
Michael – "Second effect! For each additional attack she gained from her first effect that I remove, Red-Eyes Victory gains 1,000 ATK! I remove all 4 additional attacks, so she gains another 4,000 ATK!"
(4 x 1,000 = 4,000)
Red-Eyes Victory's Additional Attacks: 4 – 4 = 0
Red-Eyes Victory's ATK: 5,700 + 4,000 = 9,700
Michael - "And I also forgot to mention. Red-Eyes Victory also gains ATK equal to the combined ATK of all other monsters on my field."
Soulburner - "Seriously?!"
Red-Eyes' ATK: 2,400 + 600 = 3,000
Red-Eyes Victory's ATK: 9,700 + 2,400 = 12,100 + 600 = 12,700
Michael – "Here I come! Red-Eyes Victory, attack Cracking Dragon! At this moment, I activate Red-Eyes Victory's third effect! By using an Overlay Unit, I can select a monster on my opponent's field, and she and all other Dragon-Type monsters on my field gain ATK equal to the current ATK of the opposing monster! SOUL VICTORY CHARGE!"
Red-Eyes Victory's Overlay Units: 1 – 1 = 0
Red-Eyes' ATK: 3,000 + 3,000 = 6,000
Red-Eyes Victory's ATK: 12,700 + 3,000 = 15,700
Michael - "Oh. And because Red-Eyes' ATK increased, so does Red-Eyes Victory's."
Red-Eyes Victory's ATK: 15,700 + 3,000 = 18,700
Knight of Hanoi – "18,700?!"
Michael – "This is… The power of my bonds with my friends and each of my decks! Go, Red-Eyes Victory! Crush Cracking Dragon and Knight of Hanoi!"
Knight of Hanoi was paralyzed in fear at being beaten so easily.
Michael – "DARK FLARE DOUBLE VICTORY SLASH!"
Red-Eyes Victory slashed at Cracking Dragon with a double v attack, destroying it and sending the Knight of Hanoi flying off the roof.
(18,700 – 3,000 = 15,700)
Knight of Hanoi's LP: 4,000 – 15,700 = 0
Michael wins.
(Music Ends)
Michael – "Come on. Let's get away before he recovers."
Everyone – "Right."
Michael and Blue Maiden lead everyone else away from the fallen Knight of Hanoi. They then quickly found a hiding place.
Ghost Girl – "You okay Blue Maiden?"
Blue Maiden – "Thanks to Michael I am."
Soulburner – "Thank you for saving her Michael."
Michael – "Not a problem."
He then glanced at the two cloaked figures.
Michael – "And it's nice to see you two again. Eh, Playmaker? Ai?"
Both figures pulled back their hoods, shocking everyone by revealing themselves to actually be Playmaker and Ai.
Mimi – "Brother!"
Mimi rushed over and hugged Ai, overjoyed to see her little brother again.
Ai – "Hey sis. It's good to see you again."
Mimi then turned towards Playmaker.
Mimi – "Was my brother any trouble to you Playmaker?"
Playmaker – "At first. But we got through it."
Mimi – "Good. Thank you for watching out for him."
Playmaker – "Not at all Mimi."
Red-Eyes – "He's here!"
Michael – "Thanks Red-Eyes! Let's go Mimi!"
Mimi – "Right!"
Mimi stopped before she reached Michael and Red-Eyes.
Mimi – "Oh! Before I forget. Blue Maiden, Soulburner, Go. I left a present for you three in your duel disks. You're welcome."
The others watched as Mimi quickly jumped into Michael's duel disk as he sped off to duel the Knight of Hanoi.
Soulburner – "What did she mean by that?"
? – "Why don't you ask me that yourself?"
Soulburner – "Sure thing Flame."
Soulburner quickly realized what he just said.
Soulburner – "Wait! Flame?!"
Flame – "Nice to see you again after so long Soulburner."
Soulburner – "Same here Flame. But how are you alive?"
Flame – "Thank Michael for that. And I'm not the only one."
Flame's point was quickly proven as Aqua and Earth came out of Blue Maiden and Go's duel disks.
Blue Maiden – "Aqua!"
Go – "And Earth too."
Ai – "Guess Michael was able to revive you two as well."
Aqua – "You bet."
Earth – "We owe the boy a lot for doing this. Liking the human look by the way Ai."
Ai – "Thank Earth."
Aqua – "Your sister also left something for you Ai."
Ai – "She did?"
Flame – "Hold your duel disk up near Ai Playmaker."
Playmaker did as Flame asked. Suddenly, Ai was absorbed into Playmaker's duel disk and was back in his Ignis form.
Playmaker – "Been a good while since you were in that form, huh Ai?"
Ai – "I'll say. I wonder…"
Ai quickly got out of Playmaker's duel disk, and returned to his human form.
Ai – "Sweet! Thanks big sis!"
Blue Maiden – "Come on then! We have to support Michael and Mimi!"
Everyone – "Right!"
Everyone quickly hops on duel boards and races off to find Michael and the Knight of Hanoi. The duo are quickly founded.
Soulburner – "The duel hasn't started yet?"
Revolver – "No doubt Michael was just distracting the Knight of Hanoi until we arrived."
Michael noticed the others had finally arrived.
Michael – "About time you guys showed up."
Knight of Hanoi – "Figures you would wait for your friends to show up to see you lose."
Michael – "Keep talking. You're just making a bigger hole for yourself to climb out of."
Knight of Hanoi – "Enough talk! Let's just duel already!"
Michael – "Seems like someone never learned patience when they were younger. Anyway. Gladis! D-Wheel Gundam Flight Mode please!"
Gladis – "Activating D-Wheel Gundam Flight Mode."
Michael jumped off his duel runner, where it then attached to him like a suit of cyber armor.
Jaden – "That's so cool!"
Michael – "A few more things before we start."
Knight of Hanoi – "Such as?"
Michael – "First. Instead of both duelists sharing two Extra Monster Zones, we each have our own set of five Extra Monster Zones. Second. The Pendulum Zones are kept separate from the Spell & Trap Zones. Thus meaning that we don't have to waste two spaces for a Pendulum Summon. And third. If either of us have a Link monster on our field and the opponent doesn't, all link markers on the top will bypass the opponent's row of extra Monster Zones, and point towards the opponent's main monsters zones instead. Any questions?"
Knight of Hanoi – "None at all."
Michael – "Very well then."
Michael/Knight of Hanoi – "Duel!"
(Note: Duel is a Speed Duel)
Michael - LP: 4,000, Hand: 5
Knight of Hanoi - LP: 4,000, Hand: 5
Turn 1: Knight of Hanoi
Knight of Hanoi – "I'll start things off. Because my opponent doesn't have any monsters on their field, I can special summon my two Hack Worms through their effects!"
Hack Worm - Lv. 1, ATK: 400, DEF: 0 (x2)
Michael – "Here it comes Mimi."
Mimi – "I know."
Knight of Hanoi – "Now I tribute my two Hack Worms to tribute summon Cracking Dragon!"
Cracking Dragon - Lv. 8, ATK: 3,000, DEF: 0
Knight of Hanoi – "I'll end my turn with that. Good luck boy."
Michael - LP: 4,000, Hand: 5
Knight of Hanoi - LP: 4,000, Hand: 3
Turn 2: Michael
Michael – "My turn! I draw! First because I have no monsters on my field, I can special summon Linkslayer from my hand by her effect!"
Linkslayer - Lv. 5, ATK: 2,000, DEF: 600
Knight of Hanoi – "Cracking Dragon's effect! Until the end of this turn, your monsters lose 200 ATK times their level, and you take effect damage equal to that lost ATK!"
Mimi – "Linkslayer's level is 5. So she loses 1,000 ATK."
Michael – "And we lose that much in LP too."
(200 x 5 = 1,000)
Linkslayer's ATK: 2,000 – 1,000 = 1,000
Michael's LP: 4,000 – 1,000 = 3,000
Michael – "Now I summon Cyberse Wizard!"
Cyberse Wizard - Lv. 4, ATK: 1,800, DEF: 800
Knight of Hanoi – "Cracking Dragon's effect activates again!"
(200 x 4 = 800)
Cyberse Wizard's ATK: 1,800 – 800 = 1,000
Michael's LP: 3,000 – 800 = 2,200
Michael – "Because I have a Cyberse-Type monster on my field, I can special summon Backup Secretary from my hand by her effect!"
Backup Secretary - Lv. 3, ATK: 1,200, DEF: 800
Knight of Hanoi – "Cracking Dragon's effect activates once again!"
(200 x 3 = 600)
Backup Secretary's ATK: 1,200 – 600 = 600
Michael's LP: 2,200 – 600 = 1,600
Tori – "Michael's lost over half his Life Points already!"
Michael – "I set a card face-down and end my turn."
Everyone's ATK returned to normal.
Linkslayer's ATK: 1,000 + 1,000 = 2,000
Cyberse Wizard's ATK: 1,000 + 800 = 1,800
Backup Secretary's ATK: 600 + 600 = 1,200
Michael - LP: 1,600, Hand: 2
Knight of Hanoi - LP: 4,000, Hand: 3
Turn 3: Knight of Hanoi
Knight of Hanoi – "My turn! Draw! Cracking Dragon attacks Backup Secretary!"
Luna – "He'll lose if that attack hits!"
Cracking Dragon's attack hits Backup Secretary, creating a giant explosion.
(3,000 – 1,200 = 1,800)
Michael's LP: 1,600 – 1,800 = ?
Knight of Hanoi – "I Did It!" Revenge For Earlier!"
? – "Is that so?"
The smoke cleared to show Michael completely unscathed.
Michael's LP: 100
Knight of Hanoi – "What?! How?!"
Michael – "I'll explain in a sec. But first. Oh Secretary!"
Backup Secretary – "Right here!"
Backup Secretary flew out of the smoke and appeared next to Michael.
Michael – "You okay Secretary?"
Backup Secretary – "Just fine Michael. Thanks for asking."
Cyberse Wizard – "Michael! Secretary!"
Linkslayer – "You two okay?"
Backup Secretary – "We're fine you two. All thanks to Michael's quick thinking."
Knight of Hanoi – "How did you two survive Cracking Dragon's attack?!"
Michael – "Simple really. For Backup Secretary, I activated my face-down, Cyberse Immune, which I set during my last turn. And as long as this card is face up on the field, all Cyberse-Type monsters on my field can't be destroyed by battle or effects."
Knight of Hanoi – "But that still doesn't explain how you survived with 100 LP left?"
Michael – "That's thanks to this card that was in my hand while you attacked me."
Michael showed that the card was his most trusted spell card, One Hundred Left.
Yuma – "Thank you One Hundred Left!"
Bronk – "Been a while we've seen him play that card."
Knight of Hanoi – "One Hundred Left? Never heard of that card before."
Michael – "Good. That means everyone here gets to learn about it. First. You're looking the lone monster, spell, or trap card in duel monsters recorded history that can't be destroyed while it's set."
Knight of Hanoi paled at that.
Michael – "Second. If my LP were to hit 0, this card activates by stopping them at 100, then this card gains 1 Life Counter for every 100 points of damage I would've taken after it was activated. Third. If this same scenario were to happen…"
Mimi – "Which it did."
Michael – "…then this card can be played from my hand like a Quick-Play spell."
Knight of Hanoi – "I activate DDoS Attack! By targeting 1 Machine-Type monster I control, I can send as many copies of this spell from my deck to the grave, then you take damage equal to targeted monster's level x100 for each copy sent! I send two copies to the grave, so you now take 1,600 points of damage! I win!"
Michael facepalmed at the Knight of Hanoi's complete oversight.
Michael – "You know. If you were smart, you'd let me finish my little explanation about One Hundred Left here."
Knight of Hanoi – "Huh?"
Michael – "While I did say Quick-Play, it's for when One Hundred Left is in my hand only. Otherwise, it's just another continuous spell card."
Knight of Hanoi – "Continuous?!"
Mimi – "That's right. Michael took 1,500 points of damage, and the remaining 300 became 3 Life Counters on One Hundred Left. And your showing of impatience just added another 16 counters."
Michael's LP: 1,600 – 1,500 = 100
Life Counters: 0 + 3 = 3 (300) + 16 = 19 (1,900)
Knight of Hanoi – "I end my turn."
Michael – "About time."
Suddenly, a data storm appeared out of nowhere.
Mimi – "Michael!"
Michael – "I see it."
Michael rushed towards the data storm. It then quickly surrounded them
Mimi – "Grab the wind, Michael!"
Michael – "Whenever my LP are 1,000 or less, I can activate my skill! SOUL STORM ACCESS!"
A random card appeared in Michael's extra deck. He then raced out of the data storm.
(Insert Music: Yu-Gi-Oh Vrains OST – Playmaker's Theme)
Michael – "Now then."
Michael - LP: 100, Hand: 1
Knight of Hanoi - LP: 4,000, Hand: 3
Turn 4: Michael
Michael – "My turn!"
Michael looks a bit shocked at the card he just drew.
Michael – "Appear! The circuit that leads to an everlasting future!"
A link portal appeared in the sky.
Michael – "Arrowheads confirmed! The summoning conditions are at least two effect monsters. I set Linkslayer, Cyberse Wizard, and Backup Secretary in the link markers! Circuit combine! Link Summon! Appear, Link 3! Decode Talker!"
Decode Talker - Link-3, ATK: 2,300, Arrows: Bottom-Left, Top, and Bottom-Right
Michael – "And now I activate one of my new spells! Link Recall!"
Syrus – "Alright! A new recall spell!"
Michael – "Link Recall lets me bring back at least one monster that was used for a link summon. Return everyone!"
Linkslayer, Cyberse Wizard, and Backup Secretary returned to the field through Link Recall's effect.
Michael – "Now I activate another new spell! Cyberse Draw!"
Revolver – "Cyberse Draw?"
Michael – "This spell lets me draw cards from my deck equal to the number of Cyberse-type monsters on my field. And I currently have 4 in Decode Talker, Linkslayer, Cyberse Wizard, and Backup Secretary."
As Michael went to draw, the iris of his left eye turned red.
Mimi – "Michael! Your left eye!"
Michael – "I know Mimi. Both mine and Red-Eyes's souls are so intertwined with each other, there are times we draw on each other's powers."
Mimi – "I see."
In the short time she had gotten to know Michael and Red-Eyes, Mimi had already figured they were very close to each other. But she never would've thought they were 'this' close. Michael then draw his four cards due to Cyberse Draw's effect. He smiled at seeing one of them.
Michael – "About time you showed up sweetheart."
Red-Eyes – "Better late than never."
Michael – "I summon Red-Eyes Black Chick!"
Red-Eyes Black Chick - Lv. 1, ATK: 800, DEF: 500
Knight of Hanoi – "Cracking Dragon's effect!"
(200 x 1 = 200)
Red-Eyes Black Chick's ATK: 800 – 200 = 600
Michael – "Mimi! Would you like to do the honors?"
Mimi – "You bet! One Hundred Left's effect activates! That 200 points of effect damage instead become 2 more counters on it!"
Life Counters: 19 (1,900) + 2 = 21 (2,100)
Knight of Hanoi growled in annoyance.
Michael – "I activate Red-Eyes Black Chick's effect! By sacrificing her, I can special summon Red-Eyes Black Dragon from my hand!"
Red-Eyes Black Dragon - Lv. 7, ATK: 2,400, DEF: 2,000
Knight of Hanoi – "Cracking Dragon's effect activates again!"
(200 x 7 = 1,400)
Red-Eyes Black Dragon's ATK: 2,400 – 1,400 = 1,000
Mimi – "One Hundred Left's effect activates again!"
Life Counters: 21 (2,100) + 14 = 35 (3,500)
Michael – "And now by sacrificing Red-Eyes Black Dragon, I can special summon Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon from my hand by her effect!"
Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon - Lv. 9, ATK: 2,400, DEF: 2,000
Knight of Hanoi – "Cracking Dragon's effect activates!"
Michael – "I counter with Red-Eyes's effect!"
(200 x 9 = 1,800)
(2 x 300 = 600)
Red-Eyes Darkness's ATK: 2,400 – 1,800 = 600 + 600 = 1,200
Mimi – "One Hundred Left's effect activates!"
Life Counters: 35 (3,500) + 18 = 53 (5,300)
Michael – "Now for the grand finale."
Blue Maiden – "What does Michael mean by that?"
Playmaker – "I have an idea, but I won't be certain till he actually does it."
Michael – "Appear! The circuit that leads to an everlasting future!"
Ai – "He's doing it?"
Playmaker – "Pretty much."
Michael – "Arrowheads confirmed! I set Red-Eyes Darkness and Link 3 Decode Talker in the Link Markers! Circuit combine!"
Knight of Hanoi – "What?!"
Michael – "Dark Queen of Dragons! Submerge your soul in the Cyberse, and let this new power be what leads to a new evolution! Link Summon! Come forth, Link 4! Dark Cyberse Dark Queen of Dragons, Red-Eyes Darkness Decode Dragon!"
Red-Eyes donned Decode Talker's armor as she stood in front of the dark blue honeycomb pattern Link card. This is Red-Eyes Decode's human form.
Red-Eyes Darkness Decode Dragon - Link-4, ATK: 3,200, Arrows: Left, Bottom-Left, Bottom, and Bottom-Right
Soulburner – "Red-Eyes Darkness…"
Blue Maiden – "…Decode Dragon."
Playmaker – "Now Michael."
Ai – "Show us Red-Eyes's true potential alongside Cyberse."
Mimi – "Amazing…"
Michael – "Link Recall activates! Return to me! Red-Eyes! Decode!"
Both monsters returned to the field.
Michael – "Red-Eyes Decode's effects! First effect! For each Dragon-Type and Cyberse-Type monster on my field and in my grave, she gains 500 ATK and an additional attack! My field and grave have 4 Dragons and 5 Cyberse! So she gains 4,500 ATK and 9 additional attacks!"
(9 x 500 = 4,500)
Red-Eyes Decode's ATK: 3,200 + 4,500 = 7,700
Red-Eyes Decode's Additional Attacks: 0 + 9 = 9
Michael – "Second effect! For each additional attack Red-Eyes Decode gained from her first effect that I remove, she gains 1,000 ATK! I remove all 9 additional attacks! So she gains another 9,000 ATK!"
(9 x 1,000 = 9,000)
Red-Eyes Decode's Additional Attacks: 9 – 9 = 0
Red-Eyes Decode's ATK: 7,700 + 9,000 = 16,700
Michael – "And now her third effect! She gains ATK equal to the combined current ATK of all monsters her link markers point to! Left marker: Decode Talker! Bottom-Left marker: Backup Secretary! Bottom marker: Red-Eyes Darkness! Bottom-Right marker: Cyberse Wizard!"
Red-Eyes Decode's ATK: 16,700 + 2,300 = 19,000 + 1,200 = 20,200 + 2,400 = 22,600 + 1,800 = 24,400
Knight of Hanoi – "24,400 ATK?!"
Michael – "And before I forget. If any of the monsters that Red-Eyes Decode points to have an ATK changing effect, her ATK changes too."
Go – "Seriously?!"
Michael – "Red-Eyes's effect activates! She gains 300 ATK per dragon in my grave! With two in there, that's 600! And Red-Eyes Decode gains that same amount as well due to pointing at Red-Eyes!"
(2 x 300 = 600)
Red-Eyes Darkness's ATK: 2,400 + 600 = 3,000
Red-Eyes Decode's ATK: 24,400 + 600 = 25,000
Mimi – "And now Decode Talker's effect activates! For every monster that her link markers point to, she gains 500 ATK! Bottom-Left marker: Linkslayer! Bottom-Right marker: Red-Eyes Darkness! And despite the fact that you don't have any extra deck monsters, her Top marker points to: Cracking Dragon! That's 3 monsters, so Decode Talker gains 1,500 ATK! And Red-Eyes Decode gains that amount as well due to pointing at Decode Talker!"
(3 x 500 = 1,500)
Decode Talker's ATK: 2,300 + 1,500 = 3,800
Red-Eyes Decode's ATK: 25,000 + 1,500 = 26,500
Michael – "Now for our final spell, Link Sharing!"
Flame – "Link Sharing?"
Mimi – "This spell can only be activated if we have at least two link monsters that are pointing at the same zone."
Michael – "In this case, Decode Talker's Bottom-Right marker and Red-Eyes Decode's Bottom marker are pointing to the same zone, which is also occupied by Red-Eyes Darkness."
Mimi – "When this spell is activated, all link monsters that point to the same zone(s), along with the monster(s) in the shared zone(s), gain 500 ATK for each monster connected this way. So Red-Eyes Darkness, Decode Talker, and Red-Eyes Decode each gain 1,500 ATK."
(3 x 500 = 1,500)
Red-Eyes Darkness's ATK: 3,000 + 1,500 = 4,500
Decode Talker's ATK: 3,800 + 1,500 = 5,300
Red-Eyes Decode's ATK: 26,500 + 1,500 = 28,000
Yuya/Yuto/Yugo/Yuri – "You've got to be kidding me…"
Michael – "Oh. And because Red-Eyes Darkness and Decode Talker's ATK increased, Red-Eyes Decode's ATK increases as well."
Red-Eyes Decode's ATK: 28,000 + 1,500 = 29,500 + 1,500 = 31,000
Michael – "Together Mimi!"
Mimi – "Right!"
Michael/Mimi – "We activate Cyberse Wizard's effect! Once per turn, we can select an attack position monster on our opponent's field and switch it to defense position. We choose Cracking Dragon! Then for the rest of the turn, we can't attack your monsters, except for the one that was selected. And if our Cyberse-Type monsters attack your defense position monster, they can deal piercing damage to you! Go, Red-Eyes Decode! Take down Cracking Dragon now!"
Knight of Hanoi – "But Red-Eyes Decode is just a Dragon-Type!"
Michael – "Not quite."
Knight of Hanoi – "Just what do you two mean by that?!"
Mimi – "What we mean…"
Michael/Mimi – "…is that Red-Eyes Decode is both a Dragon-Type AND a Cyberse-Type!"
Soulburner – "Then that means…"
Revolver – "…she can use Cyberse Wizard's effect."
Michael/Mimi – "Go, Red-Eyes Darkness Decode Dragon! DARK DECODE FLARE END!"
Cracking Dragon was destroyed as Red-Eyes Decode cut it down the middle.
Knight of Hanoi's LP: 4,000 – 31,000 = 0
Michael wins.
(Music Ends)
The Knight of Hanoi disappeared as he fell off his duel board.
Michael – "Sorry. But you guys are gonna have to try a lot harder than that to beat us."
