Chapter 55: Wrath of The Virtual World.
________________________________
"Well, how are things going with the Virtual World?" Paul said, walking into a control room.
"Everything at optimum level..." A guard said.
"95.5 % good" Another guard said.
"Excellent, now I can re-open the Virtual World. As long as no one hacks or messes with the systems, everything will be smooth" Paul thought.
He turned around to see Mink and Jess infront of him. "What's going on in there?" Jess asked.
"That's company privacy, you don't work for me, so you don't know anything" Paul said, walking past them.
"Heh, you're bringing back the Virtual World aren't you?!" Mink yelled. "Just how much does it take until you finally get it through your head, that this thing is a death trap?!"
"I've upgraded to it's fullest. I have an Anti-Hacker and Corruption system (Known as AGS) which stops anything invading the main frame. Get that through your head" Paul said, walking down the stairs. Mink growled at him.
Paul came down to the stairs where everyone else was. "So... Re-opening the Virtual World, smart move, brother." Darien smirked.
"It's not like you could've done better" Paul snapped, walking off.
"Why does everyone have to give each other a hard time..." Kai sighed.
"Heh, if you'd been here long enough you'd suffer as much as them." Darien smirked, walking off. Vice was out of the scene too while Devon watched over Bakura in the hospital.
Suddenly Devon came down the stairs. "Doc says I should stop. He'll look after him now." He said infront of the group. "So what's this thing about the virtual world?"
"You've heard of the new game, Duel Monsters World right?" Allen said looking at Kai and Devon. They both nodded.
"Yeah, one of the most expensive gaming systems ever." Kai said.
"Yeah well, it's like a death trap to every player who stays as long as 30 minutes." Daniel said. "3 times we've been there, it was set up as a trap by anyone who hated our guts."
"I see, so why is Paul bringing it back?" Devon asked. Everyone shrugged.
Suddenly a voice came up on the intercom. "Anyone who'd like to participate in the brand new game of Duel Monsters World Version 3.5, please arrive to the Game Dome" The voice said.
"I say we take a look. Paul's hooked up a weird system that'll keep any hackers out." Mink said.
"But still, this gives me a bad feeling. You know how many bad guys are with us right now?!" Daniel said. "Yeah, there's Vice, Darien, and Bakura. Who knows what they can do!"
"But that's what's fun about adventures!" Jess said. "There's always going to be someone whose going to stop you. But let's just do it, one last time."
Daniel sighed. "Alright." He said.
"Cool! Then I'm going!" Allen said.
"Me too! I'd like to try this out!" Kai said.
"I'll stay back... Just in case..." Devon said, a bit nervous.
"Aww come on! You've been doing nothing for the past hour! Have some fun!" Allen said, pulling on his arm.
"Oh ok. Yeah I think I need some fun in life." Devon suggested.
Everyone went up the stairs and to the sliding door which said 'Gaming Dome' above. The doors slid open, revealing a dozen Dream Pods, circling around the dome. Paul and the judge stood in the middle of the dome.
"Well, it looks like we have some takers." Paul smirked.
"You won't be messing with our heads will you?" Kai asked.
"Heh, yeah right. I'll be joining you all. This upgrade made the game new. So it's way different then the last versions" Paul said. "Now chose a pod and slide your deck it."
Everyone split up, taking their own pod. Paul walked over to his own pod and hopped in, sliding his deck in. "Well... Here we go..." Daniel thought. It was going to be fun but something still bothered him about this.
"Now, start the game" Paul yelled from within the pod. The judge walked over to the panel and pressed 'Start'.
Suddenly his radio went off. The judge answered. "What is it?" He asked.
"We have 7 different targets coming at us." A voice said out of it.
"Well then destroy them. We can't have any problems going on while Paul tests his new game." The judge snapped.
"Right away..." The voice responded.
Suddenly the pods lights turned on. It was a scary ride. They could each feel their minds separate from their bodies. Everyone then fell dead asleep.
Paul's eyes opened with him face down. He got up and looked around. Everyone else laid silent. "Get up, you all are not dead." Paul said.
Allen stood straight up. "That was SO FRIGGEN COOL! Let's do it again!" Allen said with excitement.
"Oh crap... I think I'm going to be sick..." Devon said.
Each and everyone else started to get up too. "Well... What now?" Mink asked.
"Ask the monsters around here. Test your skills." Paul said. Suddenly there was a beep. He picked up a phone from his belt and answered.
"We have 7 of them, in the game. We've started te AGS system." A voice said.
"Hackers?! Now?!" Paul said.
"Seven...." Allen wondered.
"No duh! Your stupid system thinks we're the hackers!" Jess yelled in anger.
"Great! Now we're going to be deleted and it's all your fault! Your system is screwed up!" Mink yelled.
"I do not need this right now..." Kai groaned.
"All we got to do is dodge anything that involves a rip hole." Paul said. "If you find a rip hole, get away from it fast. Those things can delete our minds."
"But how do we get out?" Daniel asked.
"Finish off the boss." Paul said.
"How do we get to the boss?" Mink asked.
"Defeat the minions. Duh" Paul said.
"Ok... I really don't need this" Kai rolled his eyes.
"Paul, sir. We have 5 incoming targets. Watch your back." The voice said out of the phone.
Suddenly everyone looked into the sky. A star shined then split up into 5 different meteors, striking the ground in 5 different places.
"Oh please tell me it's not the Big 5. Those people are a bunch of freaks...." Mink said.
"This is the work of Darien. He's the one who used them against us." Paul growled.
"Jeez! It's the problem over again! Are you some kind of idiot?!" Allen yelled over him.
"Hey, you're the one that volunteered, I never told you to get over here" Paul said.
Suddenly Daniel felt the ground under him begin to crumble away. "Gah!" He said, jumping back.
"It's a Rip Hole! Get away from it!" Paul yelled. Everyone split into different directions, running off. Allen, Devon, and Kai ran off in the same direction. Mink and Jess stuck together and Paul and Daniel went their own direction.
"That was close..." Mink said stopping for a breath.
"Yeah, where'd everyone else go?" Jess said. It was surprising that they ran directly from a grassland into a desert in mere feet of a run. The hot hair brushed through their skin.
"Where are we... Weren't we in a field?" Devon said looking around.
"Umm... Yeah..." Allen said. Infront of them, a large ocean.
"Well, this is nice" Kai said looking behind him. It was like they were on a tropical island.
Daniel stopped on his knees for a breath. He had landed in the middle of a forest. "Oh man...." He thought.
Paul looked around his surroundings. He was in a metal factory. He didn't even remember going through some kind of entrance. He saw molten lava flashing by, pouring into small containers.
Daniel looked around. He heard old man laughs around him. "Ok, Big 5 Member... I hear you." He yelled out.
"Good for you. But it's possible I won't lose this time" He yelled out, showing himself.
Daniel looked at him. "So, you've taken the form of Airknight Parshath..." Daniel said.
"Of course, how could you ever guess" The knight said in sarcasm. "But my last for was Injection Angel Lily.. You must have remembered. But I've re- planned my moves and skills. I'm better as ever! And once I defeat you I'll take your body! I'm not leaving without a vessel!"
"You'll only win if I let you!" Daniel growled as he held his Duel Xero up. The wings folded out and his deck materialized in his deck holsters. "And my deck master will be Fine Chaos Knight! (1500/1200)"
"Very well, my deck master is Airknight Parshath! (1900/1400)" The knight yelled as he held up his Duel Xero. "Let this duel begin!"
Both their life points rose to 4000. Daniel was armed and ready to fight this guy again.
