bopdog111: We seem to get a new character into the fray after the SEES have there time to shine.
Ulrich362: True, though it's safe to say that there are a lot of questions that need to be answered.
bopdog111: And perhaps time for Battle City to begin from here.
Ulrich362: Probably, enjoy the chapter.
Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! or Persona but we own the OCs!
It was now where the SEES had seen a closer look of the girl that guided them in the Dueling Test Robot where Junpei, Akihiko, and Ken all froze when they see who it was as she smiled to them waving. Junpei whistled before asking Akihiko, "Whoa man, quite a doll ain't she... think she's your type Akihiko?"
"No." Akihiko answered only to frown.
"Mitsuru-sempai, who is she and why does she look like him?" Yukari questioned.
"Well she's..." Mitsuru started before pausing when the girl raised her hand.
"I'll tell them Mitsuru-sempai." the girl explained to Mitsuru. Hearing that Mitsuru nodded crossing her arms to watch as the girl, "It's nice to meet you all SEES. I am Minako Arisato."
They all looked stunned hearing that.
"That... that's impossible!" Junpei cried.
"Aigis, what does she mean?" Ken asked knowing Aigis was the one who sealed Death in Minato all those years ago.
Aigis shrugged before then saying, "She explained that she wasn't present when it happened."
"That still doesn't explain who you are, or why you have his last name." Yukari pointed out suspiciously.
Minako looked down with a frown, "Well... let's say legally I'm not an Arisato. I am an Arisato but my last name isn't that."
"Huh, what do you mean?" Fuuka inquired.
Seeing her expression Mitsuru offered Minako, "If you don't want to talk about it, I can tell them."
Minako shook her head refusing. "No, Mitsuru-sempai. I want to tell them."
"Well if you feel troubled just tell me or Aigis-san." Mitsuru said to her understanding her choice.
Minako nodded before turning back, "Well... the name I'm legally called is Minako Sunohara. I was called that cause I was found abandoned near a dumpster."
"What?" Junpei asked in horror.
"I'm guessing HE never told you about his home?" Minako guessed.
"No, he was pretty quiet." Akihiko answered.
Minako nodded before then explaining, "Well me, and his parents' they only care about Minato... something about a 'male heir' or something where I was a 'useless extra' as there writings called me. So after I was born, they left me alone for me to die only caring for Minato. It was before their business plan failed, and when it did it was too late to find me so they decided to just forget about me."
"That... that's horrible." Ken whispered in shock as Koromaru walked over and nuzzled against her leg.
"By the time, the Sunohara Family was able to find them the accident happened." Minako added to them looking down, "I thought Minato was killed too so I just left it alone, and took the Arisato namesake for his memory. It was after being employed here that Mitsuru-sempai figured out about me, and asked me what I know about the Arisato, and managed to tell I really was his sister."
"I'd find it hard to believe myself. But with Aigis, we were able to confirm she indeed speaks the truth." Mitsuru added to confirm this fact.
"Mitsuru-sempai, does she have the potential?" Junpei asked.
"Me, and Aigis tested, and it turns out she has something special."
Mitsuru handed Minako an Evoker as Minako smiled taking it, and called, "Come Erinys!" She pulled the trigger as a gunshot rang where something appeared above her which was a black cloak woman with large black feathered wings, and sharp claws.
"Then does that mean you'll be going with us to Domino? We don't have a gauntlet for you though." Akihiko pointed out.
Minako shrugged before saying, "I know that... But at Domino City there giving out Duel Disks to people who want to enter in Battle City in a shop so that won't be a problem. And I'm not my brother but I hope we become great friends for all of us."
Yukari looked down uncertainly.
"I think we could, but... it might take a little while." Ken admitted with a frown. "We went through a lot."
Minako nodded understanding that before Mitsuru then said to everyone, "Okay if you all are comfortable with the cards then we should be ready to board the plane to Domino City to attend to Battle City. Be sure to pack all the things you need, and not to forget anything."
"Right." Junpei nodded.
"Do you want to pack together Minako-chan?" Fuuka asked. "It could help us get to know each other a little before we leave."
Minako smiled before nodding, "I'd would love too."
So they went to the place there staying where Minako already had some stuff packed where she's helping the others starting with the girls. Minako shows herself to where unlike Minato she's bubbly, and friendly, and open cracking a few jokes here, and there to get some laughs, and keep a positive attitude over things. They also learned to there shock she doesn't have a boyfriend saying she isn't interested to having a boyfriend which she explained that she never really thought about a love life which they decided to agree upon.
Then Minako tries to get to know them asking Fuuka who was the closest while packing, "Your Yamagishi-san right?"
"Please, just call me Fuuka." she smiled softly.
Minako nodded before saying, "Alright, and be fair just call me Minako, or even Mina-chan if you like."
"Alright Minako." Fuuka smiled.
"Well I heard from Mitsuru-sempai that your SEES' nav?" Minako asked her curiously, and when she received a nod she asked curiously, "What was it like to be a navigator?"
"It was a lot of stress, but at the same time knowing I was helping my friends and that my power was something that could help in my own special way was nice."
"And I'm guessing it also means you don't fight Shadows from a close distance?" Minako asked curiously.
"No, actually I can't fight Shadows at all." Fuuka admitted.
Minako softly pat her back, "Well your lucky, you may not be able to fight but you are able to give some support for your team against them."
"That's true." Fuuka nodded only to frown. "I'm sorry about what you went through."
Minako shook her head, "Hey it's no trouble. I already put that behind me, and accepted that I was nothing for my real family. But I am working to make me a something, and help you guys as much as my brother did not as him but as me." She then gave a grin to her deciding to tease, "Besides I'm sure he wanted me to take care of his girlfriend."
Fuuka's eyes widened as she blushed.
"Actually Minako-san, your brother had romantic interest with multiple people." Aigis explained.
Minako blinked hearing that, "Multiple? As in... a harem?"
Yukari, Fuuka, and Mitsuru all blushed at that.
"Yes, if memory serves he was dating Fuuka-san, Yukari-chan, Mitsuru-san, myself, Yoko-san, and Chihiro-san." Aigis recalled.
Minako blinked before she then looked understanding, "Well I was told he has some talent that earns him many lookers." She then blinked confused, "Though who's Yoko, and Chihiro?"
"Chihiro was the treasurer of the student council, and Yoko I believe was the manager of the sports team he joined that year." Mitsuru answered despite blushing slightly.
Minako looked before she then shrugged with a smile, "Well it's none of my business who he is going out with." She then asked them, "Did he treat you all good?"
"Yes, he did." Mitsuru answered as she closed a suitcase. "Are you all ready?"
They all nodded while packing there bags where Minako raised an arm with a grin, "Alright Operation: Battle City now begins!"
"True, everyone be on your guard." Mitsuru stated. "Yamagishi, we'll be depending on your analysis while we're in Domino City."
Fuuka nodded as they walked together taking a bus ride to the airport where Minako sits in between Junpei, and Akihiko. As they did she noticed Junpei fiddling with a cross necklace. Seeing this Minako blinked before asking curiously, "That a memento?"
"It's from my girlfriend." Junpei answered.
"Is she okay?" Minako gently asked him.
"Yeah, it's a little complicated but she's ok." Junpei nodded.
Minako nodded hearing that before smiling, "Well I also have a memento." She reached in her pocket showing Junpei a familiar device with some earbuds, "Mitsuru-sempai said this belonged to Minato."
"Are those..." Junpei asked in shock.
"Yup." Minako nodded with a smile.
Junpei looked slightly shaken seeing it before nodding. Minako softly pat his back understanding it before she asked, "What was Minato like to you?"
"He was... one of my closest friends." Junpei answered. "I was jealous at first but... once I got my head out of my ass we got along really well."
Minako nodded from this understanding that, "Well I'm not my brother, but I hope we get along."
"I think we will." Junpei smiled.
With that Minako turned over towards the other boy who has his attention at the window before she asked, "And... your Sanada-kun right?"
"You can call me Akihiko, I have a feeling this is going to be a tough fight. We all need to be ready." Akihiko mentioned.
Minako nodded to him before then asking, "What was Minato like to you?"
Hearing that Akihiko turned to her. "He was quiet, mostly he kept to himself but he was a strong leader with a cool head on his shoulders. I doubt any of us would have survived without him."
Minako nodded hearing that, "He placed you all in front of his well being when he sealed Nyx away. Wished I could see him in person."
"Yeah, I'm sorry you didn't get the chance." Akihiko frowned.
She shook her head with a smile, "I'm sure he would be glad to know me. But he had kept Erebus from contacting Nyx for the Fall, and here we all are thinking of a way to dispel Erebus away so he would be free from his burden. It'll be hard, and probably take a long time but we will find a way how."
"Yeah, we will one day." Junpei agreed.
Once there the conversations end as Minako opened the iPod and looked up a playlist before blinking, "Burn My Dread? Is that what he listens too all the time?"
"Yeah, it was probably his favorite song." Junpei nodded.
"Want to listen together?" Minako offered.
"That's ok, go ahead." Junpei answered.
Minako nodded placing in the earbuds, and pushed play. Her eyes widen when the song started, and waited before the lyrics came in.
"Dreamless dorm ticking clock
I walk away from the soundless room
Windless night moonlight melts
My ghostly shadow to the lukewarm gloom
Nightly dance of bleeding swords
Reminds me that I still live
I will burn my dread
I once ran away from the god of fear
And he chained me to despair
Burn my dread
I will break the chain
And run till I see the sunlight again
I'll lift my face and run to the sunlight
Voiceless town tapping feet
I clench my fists in pockets tight
Far in mist a tower awaits
Like a merciless tomb devouring moonlight
Clockwork maze end unknown
In frozen time a staircase stands
Shadows crawl on bloodstain floor
I rush straight ahead with a sword in hands
Cold touch of my trembling gun
I close my eyes to hear you breathe
(Burn my dread
Burn my dread)
I will burn my dread
This time I'll grapple down that god of fear
And throw him into hell's fire
Burn my dread
I'll shrug my pain
And run till I see the sunlight again
Oh I will run burning all regret and dread
And I will face the sun with pride of the living"
Unaware to her she was rocking her head listening in, and when it was over she sees Junpei grinning to her which surprised her with a small blush, "W-What?"
"You liked the song?" he teased.
Minako looked down embarrassed, "I-I guess, I was TOO into it... I mean, I can see why Minato likes listening to it..." She then shrugged with a small smile, "I like playing instruments so I guess me, and him have the same taste in music."
"Maybe." Junpei nodded.
Later...
After a long plane ride after the bus trip it landed in Domino City where the pilot announced, "Welcome to Domino City everyone. Please grab your luggage above your seats, and please walk in a single file line when you exit the plane."
"This is it." Mitsuru noted calmly.
Taking there luggage the SEES walked out looking around seeing it's a pretty basic city with a large tower that says KC on it with a blue dragon crest on it in the distance.
"Aigis, take Minako to receive her... Duel Disk I believe they were called, the rest of us will head to the starting location of this tournament and once it starts we'll begin the operation." Mitsuru stated calmly.
"Yes Mitsuru-san." Aigis nodded as she, and Minako walked off while the others walked together to the starting point.
While walking together Minako tries to start a conversation with Aigis, "So... Mitsuru-sempai told me your Aigis-san?"
"That's right." she nodded.
"And she also said your a Shadow Suppression Weapon." Minako said quietly to prevent people from listening before looking her over, "Though don't mean to sound rude but you don't look like a robot."
"It isn't rude, I actually take it as a compliment." Aigis smiled.
Minako nodded before asking, "So what is Minato like for your case? Given the circumstances he has with juggling between different girls I suspect that he treats each other with a passion."
"He was very kind and helped me understand what it truly meant to be alive." Aigis smiled fondly at the memory.
Minako smiled nodding just as they arrived at a shop walking in, and heading to the counter where a man was there noticing her, "Minako Arisato, I wish to compete for Battle City but I don't have a Duel Disk."
"Alright, let me see here..." the man mentioned looking her up. "Duelist Level is only a one, sorry but I can't let you enter in that case."
Minako frowned at that, "Well actually I'm an associate of the Kirijo Group that Seto Kaiba invited for Battle City. We don't have enough Duel Disks so they told me to get one here."
'The Kirijo Group? What are they doing here, this could cause problems I need to let Master Marik know.' the man thought. "Oh, my apologies let me grab that for you miss."
He turned before taking a Duel Disk and handing it to her. "Good luck."
"Thanks." Minako smiled taking it.
The man looked over to Aigis, "You need one two?"
"I have one, but thank you." Aigis nodded as she and Minako left only for the man to frown before picking up a phone. "My apologies for calling, but we may have an issue."
"What is it?"
"The Kirijo group is here, I don't know why but they could be an issue. What does Master Marik suggest we do?" the man asked.
"The Kirijo Group? Whatever, as long as they are clueless for what Master Marik is planning that's all that matters."
"Of course." the man nodded hanging up.
Meanwhile with the rest of the Shadow Operatives...
They all arrived as Ken looked around, "Man there are lots of people... I remember several of them... But I wonder if HE'S here too?"
"Huh, who are you talking about Ken-kun?" Fuuka asked him.
Ken turned to them answering, "Yugi Muto, one of the best players of Duel Monsters using the Dark Magician. He was the champion of the Duelist Kingdom Tournament a while back, and even defeated the creator of Duel Monsters itself, Maximillion Pegasus. He even defeated a regional champion named Weevil Underwood in his first match in Duelist Kingdom so he's a pretty big deal."
"Sounds like he could be a good opponent." Akihiko grinned punching his hand.
"Assuming if he's even competing." Yukari pointed out looking around before nervously admitting, "Though I do admit, all these people around is making me angsty about this tournament."
"This tournament isn't our true objective, remember our goal is the Shadows." Mitsuru reminded her. "Just try and last as long as you can to avoid suspicion, anyone of these people could be connected to the readings we detected."
She turned to Fuuka at that.
"Speaking of, I know your power is weaker without summoning your Persona but do you sense anything Yamagishi?"
Fuuka closed her trying to feel anything around the tournament. Soon her eyes shot open gasping, "H-Huh? I can sense something without my Persona."
"Where is it?" Junpei asked hearing that nervously recalling the last time that happened it was Nyx. "It isn't like before is it?"
Fuuka tried to recall what she felt before shaking her head. "It kinda feels like... something weaker then Nyx but something I can sense this well without Juno. Three different things I can sense that resembles this."
"Three... I understand keep us informed." Mitsuru mentioned before pausing as she looked at a nearby clock. "The competition should be starting soon, Aigis and Minako should be here."
"Well... that's not it." Fuuka admitted as they looked to her, "I am also sensing... what feels like Personas."
"Personas?" Akihiko asked. "More Persona users?"
Fuuka shook her head, "They feel like Personas... but I can feel there not really awakened. It's not like Strega's Artificial means to unlock Personas... it's more like there potential with there other selves haven't formed a contract yet."
"I see." Mitsuru nodded as they noticed Aigis and Minako walking over to them. "Were you successful?"
They nodded as Minako explained to them, "My Duelist Level was one so I didn't meet the qualifications so I had to explain I was a part of the Kirijo Group that Kaiba invited here."
"I see, well the important thing is we keep our eyes out for any Shadow activity." Mitsuru nodded. "Which..."
Suddenly Fuuka's eyes widened. "There's someone nearby, it isn't a Persona... but whoever it is they're incredibly powerful."
They looked over to her as Koromaru barked which Aigis translates, "He says 'Where is it coming from'?"
"Him." Fuuka mentioned indicating a boy with three different colored hair and a strange object around his neck. "Well, not him... there's someone with him... it doesn't feel like a Persona though, it's something else."
Seeing him Ken widen his eyes, "That's Yugi! So he is competing in Battle City!"
"Then for the time being we need to avoid him at all costs, being eliminated in this tournament is something we need to avoid for as long as possible." Mitsuru mentioned while keeping an eye on Yugi.
"But you sure it isn't a Persona or anything Fuuka-chan?" Junpei asked her confused.
"I'm sure." she nodded.
"Which means it might be something we never experienced." Akihiko said from this just as the large TV screen has turned to static.
Seeing that they all turned to the TV. What appeared on the screen was Kaiba himself standing in front of a space artwork painting. "All Duelists in the location right now, the glorious Battle City is about to begin. Hope you all are ready, and are ready to duel. And here is a refresher of the rules if any of you don't remember."
He then started going over the rules for everyone.
Rule 1: Each Duelist has a Locator Card which if a Duelist has no Locator Cards they are eliminated from the Tournament, and the players that have 6 Locator Cards would be a finalist for the next phase of Battle City where to win a Locator Card you have to defeat a opponent in a duel although they need to be different from each other.
Rule 2: The winner of the duel can follow the 'ante rule' where the loser must present the rarest card they have for the winner to take including the Locator Cards they will win.
Rule 3: Fusion monsters are not allowed to attack the turn they are summoned but if you use a spell called 'Quick Attack' this restriction will be null, and void.
Rule 4: It is pretty much the same rules, and things that the SEES followed in there test duels against the Duel Robot, and sometimes each other.
Everyone listened intently to the rules.
"...And with all those rules in place, let us begin Battle City in 3... 2... 1..." The clock struck ringing as Kaiba announced, "BEGIN!"
The TV turned off at this while Ken looked down, "It feels wrong... wrong to take a card from your opponent."
"There wasn't a rule that said you can't give someone one of your cards." Fuuka pointed out. "You could give the card back right?"
Ken nodded before Junpei widen his eyes realizing something. "Hey, wait a damn minute!"
"What is it Junpei?" Akihiko asked him.
Junpei turned to them telling them, "This ante rule about giving them our rarest card if we lose... does that mean we are betting our Personas in this!?"
"Wait, what?" Yukari questioned in shock. "We can't really go through with something like that right?"
Mitsuru frowned shaking her head, "I'm afraid they are the rules. Unless whoever defeats us decides not to refuse the ante rule we could risk losing our Personas to irresponsible people, and be put in danger."
"No way, am I letting what Chidori gave me be lost! I'll fight with all I got here!" Junpei decided determined, "So let's think of this like our usual investigations from Tartarus!"
"Junpei-san, I understand your enthusiasm, but if you continue shouting you may draw unwanted attention." Aigis pointed out.
Junpei realizing that clearly his throat, "R-Right, sorry..."
Minako couldn't help but giggle, "Your funny..."
"So... what now Mitsuru?" Akihiko asked her quietly.
Mitsuru gives some thought before saying to them, "For now we should stick together. We should use our strength, and use our Personas to advance forward to prevent us from losing our Personas."
They all nodded at that as they walked off into the city. Throughout the next few hours they looked around seeing duelists losing, and people taking cards both from ante, and Locator Cards. So far they haven't been challenged yet which might be a good thing as they see how tough this tournament might be. They continued walking around examining the competition before something stepped in front of them asking in a grouch voice, "You all looking for a duel?"
"And you are?" Mitsuru questioned.
They see in front of them was a short young man wearing a green jacket with a yellow shirt underneath and a red beanie cap, plus tan pants along with brown hair with dyed purple strands next to his forehead, and has purple-blue eyes with small irises having a smirk.
Recognizing him Ken mentioned, "That's Rex Raptor the number 2 Duelist in the big Duel Tournament where Weevil won, and also a participant of Duelist Kingdom."
"That be me, and don't forget it." Rex Raptor grinned hearing that confirming with a nod, "Or more accurate," he pointed a thump to himself still sporting his grin. "call me 'Dino Master, Rex'!"
"Well if you're looking for a match sorry but we're not interested." Yukari frowned.
"You wouldn't advance if you just do nothing you know." Rex Raptor pointed out hearing that. "Your all tournament participants but if you just do nothing you'll be disqualified for inactivity."
"Inactivity?" Junpei asked. "There wasn't a rule about that."
"It was something I think will happen, I don't make the rules nor is it my job to enforce them. But the point is that doing nothing will not get you anywhere here." Rex Raptor said to them. He then shrugged, "In fact do nothing for all I care, it wouldn't get you anywhere, though then why would you compete here in Battle City if your not gonna do anything?"
"We have our reasons." Mitsuru stated. "Now you can step aside or..."
"Excuse me, may we have one moment Raptor-san?" Aigis asked suddenly.
They looked over which Rex Raptor a little surprised from what Aigis called him just shook his head saying, "Rex Raptor's fine."
"Alright then." she nodded before turning to the others as she lowered her voice. "Forgive me for speaking out of turn, but no-one here other than us are familiar with our Personas and we have other cards to offer should it become necessary, in addition it's possible whatever the Shadows are plotting will take place during the finals of this competition. If that is the case we should attempt to get as many of us qualified as possible to increase our chances of dealing with the situation correct?"
Hearing that everyone looked at each other before Ken says, "It does make sense. I mean, if we do nothing we can't do anything if the Shadows make there move."
Aigis nodded hearing that before stepping forward. "Very well Raptor-san, I'll accept your challenge."
A hand takes her shoulder, "Hold on Aigis-san." Aigis looked over her shoulder where it was Minako that has her shoulder.
"Minako-san?" she asked feeling that.
"Sorry, but I think I should take this one." Minako explained to them, "Out of all of us, you all haven't seen what my own Deck can do."
"Are you sure?" Junpei asked her.
"Yeah, I mean... he's the second place champion." Ken added worried for Minako.
Minako winked joking, "So? Doesn't mean he's first place."
"Then by all means." Mitsuru smiled.
With that Minako walked forward, "Do you mind if I face you?"
"Doesn't matter who they'll all get stomped either way." Rex Raptor grinned as they shuffled there Decks, "Though don't think I'll go easy cause your a girl."
"Oh really?" Minako asked before then grinning, "Nah, just kidding, I'll not go easy either."
With that there Duel Disks folded together as they readied there hands.
"DUEL!"
(Dueling Theme: Mass Destruction)
Minako: 4000
Hand: 5
Field: Nothing
Rex Raptor: 4000
Hand: 5
Field: Nothing
Let the duel commence!
Rex Raptor 1st Turn:
"Seniority rules here! I'll be first!" Rex Raptor called drawing before looking at his drawn card, and grinned, "And I'll start with Two-Headed King Rex!"
A light appeared in front of him before what rose was a large purple scaled yellow horned two headed dinosaur that's standing on two legs roaring.
(Attack Position)
Two-Headed King Rex
EARTH
Level 4
Dinosaur/Normal
ATK: 1600
DEF: 1200
A powerful monster whose two heads attack as one.
"Two heads, does that mean it gets to attack twice?" Yukari asked Ken.
"It doesn't unless it has an effect to do that, or it says that on it's flavor text." Ken answered before then saying from remembering this card as a common one, "In that card's case, it's a Normal Monster so it's twin heads are only shown on it's flavor text."
"Huh, that's anticlimactic." Junpei admitted.
"Yeah maybe but to give King Rex the edge it needed here's a spell to help out." Rex Raptor grabbed a second card with a grin showing it, "It's the spell, Raise Body Heat!"
(Equipped to Two-Headed King Rex)
Raise Body Heat
Equip Spell Card
Equip only to a Dinosaur monster. It gains 300 ATK/DEF.
"Thanks to this King Rex gains 300 attack, and defense points!"
King Rex glowed as it powered up.
Two-Headed King Rex:(Equipped with Raise Body Heat/ATK: 1600 + 300 = 1900/DEF: 1200 + 300 = 1500)
"That... still sounds a lot like the basics." Yukari frowned.
"If you want something original it will come at a later time." Rex Raptor sets a card. "Though don't expect to be in one piece before then."
Rex Raptor's Hand: 3/Field: Two-Headed King Rex (Attack Position/ATK: 1900/DEF: 1500/Equipped with Raise Body Heat), Raise Body Heat (Equipped to Two-Headed King Rex), One Set Card
Minako 1st Turn:
"Okay, my turn now." Minako grinned drawing, "I draw!" She looked at her hand wondering what to go with first.
"Be careful." Ken whispered nervously.
Soon deciding Minako grinned nodding. "Okay let's try this." She grabbed a card placing it, "I summon Vicious Raven!"
Unlike what King Rex was summoned a black portal was summoned before what formed was a small black feathered bird with red edges having a black, and red target like pattern on it's chest, and having a lantern in it's claws cawing.
(Attack Position)
Vicious Raven
DARK
Level 3
Winged Beast/Effect
ATK: 1200
DEF: 900
When this card is Normal Summoned: You can Special Summon 2 "Raven Tokens" (DARK/Level 3/Winged Beast/ATK 1000/DEF 1000) in Attack Position. If this card on the field is Tributed while you control a "Raven Token(s)": You can draw 1 card. You can only activate each effect of "Vicious Raven" per turn.
"What is that?" Rex Raptor questioned.
"A Raven you don't want to mess with." Minako then gestured, "But they don't fight alone cause when he's summoned, two Raven Tokens join his side!"
The Raven cawed loud as two identical Ravens appeared in dark clouds.
(Attack Position)
Raven Token
DARK
Level 3
Winged Beast/Token
ATK: 1000
DEF: 1000
This card is treated as "Raven Token".
"Three monsters already, she's not bad." Junpei admitted.
"Next up, I use the Continuous Spell, Raven Gathering." Minako uses a spell.
(face-up)
Raven Gathering
Continuous Spell Card
All "Raven Tokens" you control gain 300 ATK for every monster you control. Once per turn: You can Tribute 1 "Raven" non-Token monster you control. During your Battle Phase, if this effect was activated this turn: If a "Raven Token" attacks an opponent's monster; that monster's ATK is halved during damage calculation only.
Suddenly Akihiko frowned. "Wait a second, it's been years but do those look familiar to anyone else?"
"They should." they looked to Mitsuru who said, "There are based on the Shadows we fought in the pain."
The Shadow Operatives all flinched hearing that.
"For every monster on my field, my Raven Tokens gain 300 points."
Raven Token: (ATK: 1000 + (300 * 3) = 1900)
"But I'll sacrifice one of them." Minako removed Vicious Raven's card as it vanished leaving the two Raven Tokens alone with of course some of there boost with it.
Raven Token: (ATK: 1900 - 300 = 1600)
"Weakening your monsters, what's the point of that?" Rex Raptor questioned.
"When Vicious Raven is Tributed while I have a Raven Token on the field, I draw 1 card." Minako drew looking before nodding, "And now Raven Token attack Two-Headed King Rex! Garu!"
The Raven Token charged energy before they see something on Two-Headed King Rex
Two-Headed King Rex: (ATK: 1900 / 2 = 950)
"What the? What just happened to my Dino?" Rex Raptor questioned.
"It's Raven Gathering's effect." Minako grinned to him, "During damage calculation if I use it's effect to Tribute a Raven that isn't a Token any monster a Raven Token battles lose half of there attack points!"
"Whoa, that's pretty strong." Junpei admitted.
The Raven Token let loose a green wind attack destroying Two-Headed King Rex while Rex Raptor stepped back. (Rex Raptor: 3350/Hand: 3)
Minako grinned, "Your Dinos might be powerful but under the power of Death there hopeless." She sets a card from there.
Minako's Hand: 4/Field: Raven Token (Attack Position/ATK: 1600) x2, Raven Gathering (face-up), One Set Card
Minako: 4000
Hand: 4
Field: Raven Token (Attack Position/ATK: 1600) x2, Raven Gathering (face-up), One Set Card
Rex Raptor: 3350
Hand: 3
Field: One Set Card
Rex Raptor 2nd Turn:
"Tch." Rex Raptor clicked his tongue, "I'll show you how strong Dinos can be!"
"He's up to something." Akihiko frowned hearing that.
"Huh, wait don't the rules say something about a direct attack?" Junpei asked.
"Yeah, if your opponent has not monsters you can attack directly... and she had a token to attack with." Yukari nodded.
Minako blinked hearing that, "Wait I can do that now?" She then laughed sheepishly rubbing her head, "Well, whoopise, forgotten about that hahaha!"
"It's alright, you're still doing really well." Ken reassured her.
"Which won't be long!" They turned to Rex Raptor who places a card, "First I summon Yowie!"
He placed the card as what rose in front of him was a Reptile. It seemed like an alligator with three pairs of insect like legs growling.
(Attack Position)
Yowie
EARTH
Level 3
Reptile/Effect
ATK: 500
DEF: 500
If this card is Summoned (and no other cards): You can activate this effect; your opponent skips their next Draw Phase. You can only Special Summon once, the turn you activate this effect. You can only use this effect of "Yowie" once per Duel.
"What is that creepy thing?" Yukari asked in disgust.
"A card that when summoned, your not allowed to a draw a card during your Draw Phase." Rex Raptor grinned to Minako who blinked from such an effect.
"That's not good." Junpei frowned.
"I'm only allowed to use this effect one time in a duel, and can only Special Summon once for the rest of this turn but the price was worth it." Rex Raptor grinned using a spell, "Now here's this for 'anticlimactic'? Ultra Evolution Pill!"
Ultra Evolution Pull
Normal Spell Card
Tribute 1 Reptile monster; Special Summon 1 Dinosaur monster from your hand.
"This card allows me to sacrifice 1 Reptile on my field, and in exchange I can summon a Dinosaur from my hand." Rex Raptor smirked as the spell glowed while Yowie was lowered down being sacrificed.
"I don't like the sounds of this." Akihiko frowned.
"Alright come on Black Tyranno!" Rex Raptor called as what rose behind was a black scaled Tyrannosaurus Rex roaring.
(Attack Position)
Black Tyranno
EARTH
Level 7
Dinosaur/Effect
ATK: 2600
DEF: 1800
If the only cards your opponent controls are Defense Position monsters, this card can attack directly.
Mitsuru frowned seeing the dinosaur.
"Alright Black Tyranno chomp down on one of those birds!" Black Tyranno stomped charging down it's head teething in one Raven Token while Minako braced herself. (Minako: 3000/Hand: 4)
With one less monster on her field, her remaining Token gets weaker.
Raven Token: (ATK: 1600 - 300 = 1300)
"I use the face-down, Accepting the Absolute End!" Minako called using her face-down.
Accepting the Absolute End
Normal Trap Card
If a monster you control is destroyed by battle: Special Summon 1 "Persona" monster from your Deck or your Hand, then both players take 800 damage. If your LP is lower then your opponent's when this card is activated: You can add 1 card from your GY to your hand. You can only activate 1 "Accepting the Absolute End" per turn.
"When a monster on my field is destroyed in battle, I can summon a special monster from my hand or my Deck." Minako said as a pistol appeared in front of her which she takes.
"What the, hey what do you think you're doing?" Rex Raptor questioned seeing that.
Minako takes the pistol before smiling to Rex Raptor, "Bare with me what your about to see isn't real." She takes the pistol to her head calling, "Come Erinys!"
She pulled the trigger as a shockwave occurred around her which Rex Raptor braced before looking seeing Erinys had materialized above her.
(Attack Position)
Death Persona Erinys
DARK
Level 6
Winged Beast/Effect
ATK: 2200
DEF: 1000
(This card is always treated as a "Raven" monster.)
Cannot be destroyed by battle. When this card destroys a monster by battle and sends it to the GY: Inflict damage to your opponent equal to the ATK of the destroyed monster in the GY. Once per turn, if your opponent Normal or Special Summons a monster(s): You can pay 500 LP; change the Battle Position of those monsters.
"Your new monster isn't strong enough to beat my Tyranno." Rex Raptor pointed out despite being unnerved by how she summoned it.
"Maybe but due to my trap's effect we both take 800 points of damage." Minako said as they got hit by energy.
(Minako: 2200/Hand: 4)
(Rex Raptor: 2550/Hand: 1)
"Then I take Vicious Raven back to my hand from the graveyard." Minako finished showing the monster card adding it back, "And with Erinys my Token gains more attack points."
Raven Token: (ATK: 1300 + 300 = 1600)
"Still pretty amazing how that didn't faze her..." Junpei admitted a bit amazed that using an Evoker doesn't seem to bother her.
"Just like him…" Yukari frowned.
Minako shrugged to them, "We're all gonna die anyway, that's something we can't escape from... But it doesn't mean we should welcome it, even though we accept that fact."
"What kind of morbid thinking is that? What kind of freak are you?" Rex Raptor questioned.
Minako turned to him before shrugging, "Just someone who knows things, that's all. Now please continue on."
Rex Raptor grunted before looking at the last card in his hand before telling her, "That's all from me."
Rex Raptor's Hand: 1/Field: Black Tyranno (Attack Position), One Set Card
Minako 2nd Turn:
"Okay my turn!" Minako moved to draw.
"Hold up!" Minako stopped looking at Rex Raptor confused. "Remember Yowie's effect forbids you from drawing a card in your Draw Phase."
"Oh right, sorry." Minako nodded with a smile removing her hand before taking a card, "Well even if I can't draw, I can still do this! I summon Vicious Raven again!"
Vicious Raven rose beside Erinys cawing.
Vicious Raven: (Attack Position)
Raven Token: (ATK: 1600 + 300 = 1900)
"And that means she gets two more tokens right?" Junpei asked.
"Yeah, it does." Ken nodded.
Like Junpei asked two more Tokens popped up.
Raven Token: (Attack Position)
"And of course with two more monsters on the field, my Tokens gain 600 more points."
Raven Token: (ATK: 1900 + (300 * 2) = 2500) x2
Raven Token: (ATK: 1000 + (300 * 5) = 2500)
"Big deal, none of those monsters have the strength to take down my Black Tyranny." Rex Raptor reminded her.
"Well I think you don't remember of Raven Gathering?" Minako grinned as she gestured to her Continuous Spell, "I Tribute a Raven that isn't a Token once per turn. Then for the rest of this turn when this effect is used, any Raven Token that battles a monster on your field loses half of there attack points."
Vicious Raven was sacrificed again as the Tokens lost there boost.
Raven Token: (ATK: 2500 - 300 = 2200) x3
Rex Raptor glared at her hearing that.
"No need to get upset, I caught you by surprise." Minako shrugged before calling, "Alright Raven Token charge at Black Tyranno!"
The Token charged in towards Black Tyranno. But before it can be weakened Rex Raptor called, "Not this time, I use my face-down! Mystical Space Typhoon!"
Mystical Space Typhoon
Quick-Play Spell Card
Target 1 Spell/Trap on the field; destroy that target.
"Mystical Space Typhoon?" Ken asked shocked, "That destroys any Spell or Trap card that's on the field."
"That's right, and I can use it to destroy her little Raven Gathering card." Rex Raptor smirked.
A cyclone wrapped around Raven Gathering which destroyed it in sharps which caught Minako off-guard gasping before Rex Raptor added, "And with it now gone your small Tokens lose there power!"
Raven Token: (ATK: 2200 - (200 * 4) = 1000) x3
The Token that was attack kept charging it as Black Tyranno stared before charging it's head taking it in it's laws crushing it easily while Minako stepped back. (Minako: 0600/Hand: 4)
"This is bad." Junpei frowned seeing that.
"Try not to rely on a strategy your not gonna protect!" Rex Raptor smirked towards Minako.
She grunted from this before looking at her hand, and current field, "I can't change them all to Defense Position... well now, I gotta be on guard." With that thought in mind, she places down a card, "I end my turn."
Minako's Hand: 3/Field: Death Persona Erinys (Attack Position), Raven Token (Attack Position) x2, One Set Card
Minako: 0600
Hand: 3
Field: Death Persona Erinys (Attack Position), Raven Token (Attack Position) x2, One Set Card
Rex Raptor: 2550
Hand: 1
Field: Black Tyranno (Attack Position)
Rex Raptor 3rd Turn:
"Okay, my turn draw!" Rex Raptor drew ready to begin next as he looked at his drawn card, "And I use Tail Swipe!"
Tail Swipe
Normal Spell Card
Target 1 Level 5 or higher Dinosaur monster you control; if that Dinosaur monster is still face-up on the field, choose up to 2 monsters your opponent controls that have a lower Level than it, or are face-down, and return the chosen monsters to the hand.
"With this card, if I have a Level 5 or higher Dino, on the field, I can force you to return two monsters on your field with a lower level then it back to your hand!" Rex Raptor smirked pointing at Minako who widen her eyes.
"She's doomed." Junpei panicked.
Black Tyranno moved to swiped which Minako grunted calling, "I use the face-down, Shadow Raven Smokecloud!"
Shadow Raven Smokecloud
Counter Trap Card
When your opponent activates a card or effect while you control a "Raven" non-Token monster: Tribute all "Raven Tokens" you control; negate the activation, and if you do, destroy it. After this effect resolves, inflict 300 damage to your opponent for every "Raven Token" you Tributed to activate this card.
"By sacrificing every Raven Token on my field, Tail Swipe is cancelled out!" the two Raven Tokens moved vanishing in black clouds causing the tail to miss before she then added, "Then for every Raven Token sacrificed you take 300 points of damage! Zio!"
Erinys charged lightning before firing it striking Rex Raptor who cried it out shaking his head. (Rex Raptor: 1950/Hand: 1)
"That helps, but she's still at a huge disadvantage." Akihiko frowned.
Rex Raptor at that glared, "You got that right! Black Tyranno destroy her only monster!" Black Tyranno roared stomping in at Erinys who readied before Black Tyranno trapped her in it's jaws wrestling it before throwing it as she landed hard on the ground crying out.
Minako herself widen her eyes before screaming holding her head. (Minako: 0200/Hand: 3)
"Arisato!" Mitsuru cried seeing that.
Minako knelled holding her head as if experiencing a major headache, "Wh... what was that surge of pain just now?"
"What's wrong with you?" Rex Raptor questioned. And noticing something else he sees Erinys getting up which he forgo his other question asking in shock, "Wait, how come that monster wasn't destroyed?"
As Minako slowly gets up while glaring at Rex Raptor holding her head with one hand, "Erinys can't be destroyed in battle." Her Persona glared at Rex Raptor too.
Rex Raptor growled before saying, "Ah well just in case you get any ideas, I sacrifice Black Tyranno!" Black Tyranno lowered down as he rose a card, "Come Sauropod Brachion!"
What rose up was a large black scaled dinosaur with a long next, and tail similar to a Sauropoda Dinosaur rose up roaring.
(Attack Position)
Sauropod Brachion
EARTH
Level 8
Dinosaur/Effect
ATK: 1500
DEF: 3000
Cannot be Special Summoned from the Deck. You can Tribute Summon this card face-up by Tributing 1 Dinosaur-Type monster. Once per turn: You can change this card to face-down Defense Position. If this card is Flip Summoned: Change all other monsters on the field to face-down Defense Position. If this card is attacked, any battle damage your opponent takes from that battle is doubled.
"Wait, that monster is weaker than his tyranno right?" Junpei asked.
"Normally, you can only summon Level 7 or higher monsters with only 1 monster, however effects of cards can reduce or treat themselves as two or more Tributes which allows only 1 sacrifice or no sacrifice at all." Ken explained to them over what he knows.
"Wait, but he didn't use an effect like that right?" Yukari asked.
"No, or at least nothing we saw." Mitsuru answered.
"That's because it was written on the card." Rex Raptor smirked, "Sauropod Brachion can be summoned by Tributing only 1 Dinosaur on my field. In addition sure it may be weaken then Black Tyranno, but it's true strength is it's ability, one of which can flip itself!"
His Dinosaur laid while readying a fin on it's head resembling a shield before vanishing turning into a set card.
"Great now we don't know how strong it is in Defense..." Akihiko grunted seeing this.
"And let me fill you in on something else. You attack Sauropod Brachion while it's defense points are higher, then you take double the damage. Fun huh?"
"Not for me..." Minako grumbled realizing unless she can figure out how much defense Rex Raptor's new monster has she wouldn't be able to break through his shield.
"This is bad." Fuuka frowned.
"That'll be my turn." Rex Raptor smirked.
Rex Raptor's Hand: 0/Field: Sarupod Brachion (Set)
Minako 3rd Turn:
"Okay, my turn!" Minako drew looking before wincing still feeling the pain from Black Tyranno's attack on Erinys earlier before shaking her head, "Okay, I summon Sonic Raven!"
What rose was a large black feathered bird with a white mask on cawing.
(Attack Position)
Sonic Raven
DARK
Level 3
Winged Beast/Effect
ATK: 1100
DEF: 800
If this card is Normal Summoned while you control no "Raven Tokens": You can Special Summon 1 "Raven Token" (DARK/Level 3/Winged Beast/ATK 1000/DEF 1000) in Attack Position, then draw 1 card. If this card is Tributed: You can add 1 Ritual Spell to your hand. You can only activate each effect of "Sonic Raven" per turn.
"With no Raven Tokens on the field, it can summon one to the field!"
What rose was a identical Raven like Sonic Raven unlike it's Vicious Raven counterpart. Koromaru barked nervously seeing that. Minako grabs her drawn card activating it, "Then I use Raven Greed!"
Raven Greed
Normal Spell Card
Tribute 1 "Raven Token", and 1 "Raven" non-Token monster you control: Draw 2 cards. If a "Raven" monster, and/or "Raven Token" you control should be destroyed: You can banish this card instead.
"By sacrificing my two newly summoned Ravens, I draw 2 cards!" Sonic Raven with the Raven Token lowered as she drew two cards, "Then as Sonic Raven was Tributed, I take a Ritual Spell from my Deck to my hand!"
A card ejected from her Deck allowing her to take it. Hearing that the Shadow Operatives all smiled.
"So your a Ritual User."
"Battle City limits Fusion Monsters from attacking but not Ritual." Minako grinned before shaking the card, "And I use Persona Evolution!"
Persona Evolution
Ritual Spell Card
This card can be used to Ritual Summon any "Persona" Ritual Monster. You must also Tribute monsters from your hand or field whose total Levels equal or exceed the Level of the Ritual Monster you Ritual Summon. Then, if you Tributed a "Persona" monster, you can halve your opponent's LP.
"This card allows me to summon a Persona Ritual monster from my hand by using monsters from my hand or field as Tributes as long as there Levels are at least the same or more then the level!" Minako explained as Eirnys flew up above her glowing blue.
Rex Raptor frowned. "Whatever you play won't be enough."
"Well I sacrifice Erinys along with another Sonic Raven, and Spectral Raven!" Minako called as the two Ravens appeared before being sacrificed with Erinys, "That makes Level 11!"
"What!" Rex Raptor cried in shock.
All three combined as Minako raised a card closing her eyes where Fuuka senses what feels like the Fool Arcana.
"This feeling..." she whispered before her eyes widened and she covered her mouth.
"What's wrong Fuuka-chan?" Junpei asked her only to see something from Minako.
She slowly opened her eyes calling, "Brother's Soul that carries on even after death! Take the soul of the sister yearning for peace with Death's Birds, and be revived fighting alongside as siblings! Ritual Summon! Level 10! Fool Persona Orpheus Telos!"
What rose right above her was a new Persona that doesn't look like a Raven. It was shown as a young man that resembles Minako that has white skin with red mechanical armor on him with a silver like core with twisting white legs attached with silver fittings with even whiter hair, and blue eyes along with a white harp on it's back. It opened it's eyes, "I am thou, thou art I..."
(Attack Position)
Fool Persona Orpheus Telos
LIGHT
Level 10
Psychic/Effect/Ritual
ATK: 3000
DEF: 1100
(This card is treated as a "Ultimate Persona" card.)
Must be Ritual Summoned. Other effects will be revealed.
"That Persona... it's the one he used against her..." Fuuka whispered in awe seeing the familiar monster as she teared up slightly.
"What is that?" Rex Raptor asked stunned seeing it while sensing it's powerful.
Before he can taste it's wrath Minako added, "There is something else." Rex Raptor looked at her as she said, "When a Persona is used to summon a Persona with Persona Awakening, you lose half of your life points."
Rex Raptor felt a force as he stumbled on his feet. (Rex Raptor: 0975/Hand: 0)
"Big deal if you don't know what your against it wouldn't make a difference!" Rex Raptor pointed out to her.
Minako only smiled to him, "Spectral Raven's ability activates." Rex Raptor blinked hearing that as she explained, "When it's Tributed, I can summon a Raven Token."
Another Raven Token rose up cawing.
Raven Token: (Attack Position)
"Then I activate Orpheus Telos' ability!" Orpheus Telos pulled it's harp playing it as it glowed, "Victory Cry... If a monster on my field battles a monster on your field, all damage I would take is instead converted to Life Points for me."
"What?" Rex Raptor widen his eyes stunned.
"Battle, Raven Token attack his face-down!"
The Raven Token charged in as Rex Raptor's monster was flipped revealing the monster.
Sarupod Brachion: (Defense Position)
This allowed the SEES to see it's DEF; 3000.
"Wait, that's 4000 points added to her score?" Yukari asked stunned.
The Token was retaliated as Minako closed her eyes glowing while Orpheus Telos played it's harp to her. (Minako: 4200/Hand: 2) Which effectively puts Rex Raptor back where he had started at the beginning of the duel.
(A/N (bopdog111): As it stands Rex Raptor isn't worthy to face Orpheus Telos or even a Persona to begin with but remember the SEES are starting out as Duelists or in Ken's case he is trying to get back into it so of course they would use there Personas against Duelists that aren't worthy to fight against them, plus using them ahead will allow them to see what kind of effects it can wield.)
"Awesome." Junpei grinned.
"And now Orpheus Telos... Hamon."
Orpheus Telos played it's harp as light magic wrapped around Sarupod Brachion who looked around confused before light struck as it roared vanishing in smoke as Rex Rapor widen his eyes, "What!? What was that!?"
"Orpheus Telos' being a user of Light Magic." Minako explained before saying, "During the Battle Phase, I pick a monster on your field who's attack points or defense points whichever is higher are lower then my current Life Points, and send it to the graveyard."
"What?" Rex Raptor cried in shock.
"Wait, if that wasn't an attack she can still attack him right Ken?" Yukari asked.
"Yeah, that was only an effect by it! She's now clear to attack him!" Ken grinned excited.
Minako then pointed towards the defenseless Rex Raptor, "Orpheus Telos finish him off! Agidyne!"
Orpheus Telos played it's harp firing a large fire blast striking Rex Raptor as he landed on the ground defeated.
Minako: 4200
Hand: 2
Field: Fool Persona Orpheus Telos (Attack Position), Raven Token (Attack Position)
Rex Raptor: 0000
Hand: 0
Field: Nothing
Minako wins!
Minako sighed before looking up at Orpheus Telos, and smiled to him which Orpheus Telos smiled back to her before vanishing.
"Excellent work Arisato." Mitsuru smiled.
Minako smiled to her bowing before they heard a groan, and looked seeing Rex Raptor getting up groaning, "Guess this means you won my Locator Card doesn't it?"
He walked over looking, and handed her a Locator Card along with what Minako notices is Sarupod Brachion, "Your giving me Sarupod Brachion?"
"It's the rules of Battle City, lose a duel, and you fork over your rarest card, and Locator Card to who beat ya." Rex Raptor reminded turning away with closed eyes, and a hand on his hip, "Go on take them."
Minako stared before looking over to the SEES if she should really take Sarupod Brachion. Mitsuru nodded. Minako looked back before softly taking both cards, "Sorry about this..."
Rex Raptor sighed, "Listen no need to get soft on me about. Your a good duelist, that's all there is."
"Actually... I'm only starting out."
Rex Raptor widen his eyes. "Wait, you aren't shitting me are ya?" Minako shook her head which Rex Raptor clicked his tongue. "Then no wonder about some of those moves... If I lost to a newbie, I must be losing my touch." He then nodded to her, "Well either way, you be sure not to lose too easily, or it'll make me look bad, you got that."
"U-Understood." Minako nodded with a sweatdrop.
"Very well then, I'll spectate from the sidelines." Rex Raptor nodded before bowing to the SEES to bid them farewell before walking off with a wave.
"...He's kinda nice once you get to know him." Junpei admitted seeing this as they watched him walk off.
"Stop right there." Mitsuru told him.
Rex Raptor stopped hearing that looking over, "What you want?"
"While it's true the rules dictate the winner of a match takes the rarest card from their opponent, there isn't a rule forbidding one competitor from willingly giving a card to someone else correct?" Mitsuru inquired. "So if for example Minako chose to give you Sarupod Brachion willingly that wouldn't be against tournament rules."
"True, but it's her prize. She earned it fair, and square." Rex Raptor shrugged from that.
Minako only walked over, "It's still wrong to take your card. I'm only interested in Locator Cards." She handed Sarupod Brachion back to him which he slowly takes back before he looks up to her, "Your odd, you know that right?"
Minako only shrugged with a smile which Rex Raptor sighed again placing Sarupod Brachion back into his Deck. "Okay, but don't come crying to me if you change your mind. Now if there's nothing else you all got a tournament to get back too."
"Right, thanks." Minako smiled.
Rex Raptor turned away walking away before giving a backwards wave as they watched him. Minako sighed before turning to the SEES, "Well that was tougher then I thought... I didn't think I'd be pushed to use him, but I am starting out so maybe I can save him for later matches hopefully."
"That... where did you get that Persona?" Fuuka asked her.
Minako turned over to her asking, "You talking about Orpheus Telos?"
"Yes, he... he only used that Persona once." Fuuka whispered.
Minako nodded before he explained to her, "Mitsuru-sempai gave him to me."
"Because he's your family right?" Akihiko guessed.
Minako nodded as Mitsuru explained to them, "It's not her Ultimate Persona as Minako's is still hidden away, but I had the scientists create the Orpheus Telos card for her sake as like Ken, and Koromaru's situation, both Erinys, and Orpheus Telos will stand side by side together."
As she said this Minako takes the Orpheus Telos card out of her Deck handing it to Fuuka for her to have some with it as it reminds her of her deceased boyfriend for a little since she feels she needs it. Fuuka gently closed her eyes holding the card. Minako also gave Fuuka a small hug to comfort her. Fuuka froze before gently hugging her back.
"I'm not Minato, and I don't know the whole thing how you, and him are together, but I hope I can fill the void he left. If you need anything just talk to me." Minako softly said to her while rubbing her back, "If you need to let a few tears loose go ahead."
"I'll be ok." Fuuka whispered. "But thank you Minako-chan."
Minako smiled before looking at the other girls, "That goes the same for the rest of you."
They all nodded but looked unsure.
Ulrich362: Well then, Minako managed to win the first match of the tournament... or at least the first match the Shadow Operatives had.
bopdog111: Admittedly Rex Raptor was a bit of an easy duelist to start with, and the reason why we go with him was because he lost an off-screen duel against Espa Roba in Battle City, and haven't dueled since at least until Waking the Dragons.
Ulrich362: Fair enough, so next up... maybe Aigis getting her own match?
bopdog111: Yeah it be time to see how our new Wildcard can do. Aigis in her case won't use a complete Persona Deck as she used to be a regular Persona User before gaining the Wildcard ability so half Persona, half archetype she uses AKA A.I. Maiden.
Ulrich362: Should be fun, see you in the next chapter. That said, Trivia Bopdog?
bopdog111: The Trivia for this chapter is...
Trivia: It was originally intended for Kanji, and Rise to have there Decks be the Frightfur, and Melodious used by Sora Perse, and Zuzu Boyle respectfully in the Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V anime as they are based on crocheting, and idols but this idea was scrapped as Ulrich felt it be better if Kanji, and Rise use original archetypes.
