Inside of the computer room, they were waiting for Deanna to hold up her side of the bargain.
Sebastian then replied, "You owe this, lady. Go ahead."
Deanna sighed as she slid a disc into a nearby computer slot and then it glowed and then it stopped shortly afterwards and she looked at them and replied, "Your friend Jeb will be back in a couple of minutes. The program can only be used once, so he'd better be sure to duel better next time against Edgar."
Carly then replied, "Thank you for holding up your end of the bargain, young lady. Before we help leave our building, do you have any questions?"
She nodded and sighed and replied, "I know he's a jailbird now, can I see my brother?"
"I don't see why not. Me and my husband will allow you to see him before I have to leave."
She looked at Blackhawk and replied, "Wait for a message from either Jeb and your sister, Blackhawk."
She nodded as the leaders walked with Deanna out of the room.
-ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-
Back in the virtual world, Ginny was at the main dining room area of Valeem with the mayor and his wife. Ginny was still really down about losing her friend and ally.
She sighed and replied, "I hope they found a way to get him back. We need him."
Valeem nodded as he sipped his cup of tea and then they heard knocking at the door and Ginny stood up and replied,"I'll see who it is."
The married couple nodded as Ginny walked into the main area and opened the door and she gasped at who it was and replied, "Jeb?"
Jeb smiled and replied, "Back in the virtiual flesh, my friend."
She hugged him and replied, "I thought I'd lost you forever, Jeb."
Jeb then replied, "I was starting to think that too, but somesort of program brought me back. My son's friend Deanna made the Dark Smugers a program to retrieve anyone that lost in this realm and I guess someone won and I was revived quickly.
Valeem saw him too and he smiled and replied, "Glad to see you back again, Jeb. This young lady was so darn worried for your retrieval."
He nodded as they stopped hugging and Ginny replied, "You still going to duel that Virus Edgar?"
He sighed and replied, "We don't have a choice, Ginny. I'll use my Gadget Deck this time around. Hopefully it'll be enough to stomp his Exodia Deck before it obliterates me again. Let's rest up and we'll head out in the morning."
Ginny smiled as Jeb closed the main door.
-oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-
Back in the basement area of the headquaters, Carly and Sebastian lead Deanna downstairs while Vinny was asleep on a nearby bed while a guard was at a desk nearby.
Carly looked at the guard and replied, "James, open it up."
He nodded as he quickly got up and unlocked and the slid the door opened and he replied, "Kid, your sister is here."
Vinny slowly got up and saw her sister and he replied, "Sis, is that you?"
She smiled as she walked in and hugged her and he replied, "Missed you lots, bro."
"Back at ya, sis. Did you finally quit that bastard of a team?"
"Sure did. I dueled that leader Sebastian and I almost won against his legendary Dark Magician Pendulum deck."
"You're a great duelist, sis. Your Danger deck is filled with some of the most strange and cool looking monsters this silly card game has. What are you going to do now?"
She sighed and replied, "Probably head down south to Atlanta to see if Mom and Dad are still there and go from there."
"I wish you the best, sis. I'll be rotting in a cell for the next 15 years anyway."
Carly smiled and replied, "Actually, we're dropping all charges from your name, Vinny."
The siblings looked at Carly and she nodded and replied, "Your sister helped us bring back our best tech worker and she's been nothing but a great help for us. For our way of saying thanks, we're releasing you from all charges and giving you a small car for the two of you to head down south and start a new life away from the Dark Smugers."
Deanna smiled and replied, "Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, madam. This really means a lot to have my brother back on my side."
"Think nothing of it. Your car with some supplies and money are ready now."
They both walked out of the cell and shook their hands and Deanna smiled and replied, "Again, thank you again."
Sebastian then replied, "You earned this, Deanna. If you both ever want to do something with your life that'll help out everyone, try applying for a position with the Atlanta World Fighters. They represent all of Georgia and Alabama. It's a good cause, but totally up to you both."
Vinny then replied, "We might do that. Thank you again."
They both waived to them as the siblings left and James smiled and replied, "You both are amazing people to work for."
"Thanks, James."
A ringing noise came from Sebastian's pocket and he answered it and replied, "What's up, Blackhawk? Really, that's awesome. Talk to you when we got up there."
He hung up and replied, "Jeb is back to the way he is."
She smiled as they both left the jail are and James closed the cell back up and went back to his desk.
-ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-
Back at the Dark Smuger lair, they just found out that he was released.
Mitch sighed and replied, "I take full blame for even teaching that bitch the program to release anyone that loses a duel in the Cyber area. I'm trully sorry for that, mom."
Hailey then replied, "It's no problem. That Jeb guy already lost to that Exodia deck and he'll lose to it again, no matter what deck he uses. If he loses gain, he'll be permantly gone from the cyber world."
Mitch nodded and Trevor then replied, "I just heard that Vinny and Deanna drove out of town a hour ago and are heading to Atlanta to start a new life. What a couple of wimpy traitors."
Trevor then replied, "Get over it, son. We have more ideas to stop them. I'll inform Edgar that'll Jeb will go after him again."
He went back upstairs and Mitch then replied, "Let's see their precious cyber master lose again."
-ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-
Later on that next day, Jeb was going over his Gadget deck for his duel with Virus Edgar. Ginny was watching nearby.
Jeb nodde dna dreplied, "My deck is already to go."
Ginny then replied, "I Relaly hope so too, buddy. We can't afford to ever lose you again. You're very important to the World Fighters, buddy."
Jeb nodded and replied, "Don't you worry about anything right now, Ginny. My deck is already to kick some ass. Let's gear up and head out."
-oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-
A few minutes later, they arrived in Edgar's arena again.
Jeb then replied, "Let's get this duel over with!"
The back doors opened up and Edgar walked in and he replied, "Ready to go down in flames again, buddy?"
"You won't beat this time! Let's duel already!"
Both activated their duel disks and both drew 5 cards.
"Game on!", both yelled out.
(Edgar LP: 8000 / Jeb LP: 8000)
Edgar nodded and replied, "I'll begin our duel. First, I activate Spell Economics."
The spell appeared.
"Without that out of the way, I activate the Spell Card known as Double Drop."
The spell appeared.
"You draw a card to start."
Jeb did so and then replied, "Usually I have to pay 1000 lifepoints to use this mighty card, but not now thanks to my spell. I reveal 2 different monsters and then I have to discard them to the graveyard."
He took two cards from his deck and they were Right Arm of the Forbidden One and Left Arm of the Forbidden One and he quickly discarded them and then replied, "Now, I'll set a facedown monster and that'll end my turn now."
Jeb drew a card and replied, "I bring forth my Gadget Tank!"
As he sat the card down, a tank made of varous machine parts appeared (ATK: 1,800).
"Now, destroy his facedown monster."
The machine fired two shots of energy and the Left Leg of the Forbidden One appeared on the card (DEF: 300) before the cannon blast blew it to pieces.
"Should of known you'd be hiding another piece of the Forbidden One. I'll set a card and call it a turn."
Edgar drew a card and replied, "Now, Foolish Burial."
He discarded another card and reshuffled and then replied, "Now, I'll set a new monster facedown and that'll end my turn now."
Edgar drew a card and replied, "Aye-Iron, I summon you!"
As he sat the card down, the toy kangaroo appeared (ATK: 1,600).
"Time to battle. Attack!"
The machine slammed its cymbals together and a souldwave shot out and a Mystic Tomato appeared on the card (DEF: 1,200) before the attack splattered it everywhere and then a 2nd one appeared and Gadget Tank fired two shots and it exploded into red & black shards as it hit (Edgar LP: 8000 - 7600) and then Exodia's Head appeared (ATK: 1,000).
"Your turn now."
Edgar drew a card and replied, "I play Dark Hole."
The spell appeared and a large black hole appeared and then all 3 monsters exploded into shards and then Jeb quickly replied, "When a Gadget monster is destroyed by a card effect, I can Special Summon my Gadget Dragon!"
As he sat the card down, a dragon-shaped machine appeared and it wa smade of various broken machine parts (ATK: 2,100).
"So I see. I now play Reload."
He took his current hand of 4 cards and shuffled them into his deck and then drew 4 new cards and then replied, "I now activate Contract of Exoida."
The spell appeared.
"Usually I have to pay 2000 lifepoints to use this card, but my spell helps again. Rise, Exodia Necross!"
As he sat the card down, a large zombie-like form of the mighty Exodia appeared with a roar (ATK: 1,800).
Jeb then replied, "Some star. It's weaker then my monster."
"Oh well. Attack your Gadget Dragon."
The mighty Spellcaster rushed in and the dragon let a small metallic growl as a burst of broken shards of metal shot out and struck the mighty diety (Edgar LP: 7600 - 7300) and it began to glow (ATK: 1,800 - 2,800) and he replied, "I'm not done yet. I'll discard my Red Sensor to allow it to attack again!"
He discarded the card and it swung its fist and hit the machine dragon and cracks formed all over it before it exploded into fiery shards of metal that rained down onto the ground (Jeb LP: 8000 - 7100).
"You'll never beat my titan, fool! I end my turn now."
Jeb drew a card and replied, "I'll set a monster and a card and that'll end my turn now."
Edgar drew a card and replied, "Pathetic. I summon the mighty Vorse Raider!"
As he sat the card down, the dark beast-warrior used by Seto Kaiba appeared (ATK: 1,900).
"Exodia Necross, attack!"
The huge diety swung its fist and a monster that looked like a black-plated form of Pot of Greed appeared on the card (DEF: 100) before the punch crushed it into powder and Jeb smiled and replied, "Gotcha! Thanks to the flip effect of my Dark Greed Jar, two cards of my choice are banished from your graveyard and I choose your Exodia the Forbidden One and your Right Arm of the Forbidden One!"
Both cards flew out of the graveyard and dissolved into clouds of black dust and then cracks formed all over the thing (ATK: 2,800 - 1,800).
"Whatever you say. Vorse Raider, direct attack!"
The beast-warrior swung its weapon and Jeb smiled and replied, "Really now? I activate Dimensional Prison!"
The Beast Warrior suddenly vanished into black particles.
"Screw off, World Fighter. I end my turn now."
Jeb drew a card and replied, "Gold Gadget, come to me!"
As he sat the card down, the golden gadget-like machine appeared (ATK: 1,700) and he sat another card on his duel disk and a Red Gadget appeared (ATK: 1,300).
"Now, I activate Polymerization to fuse my Gadgets with the Gadget Soldier in my hand!"
As the 3 machines merged together, the more upgraded Gadget Soldier appeared (ATK: 1,800 - 2,700).
"I'm really going to enjoy this. Blast Exodia away!"
He aimed his rocket launcher (ATK: 2,700 - 3,700) and a barrage of missiles shot out and Necross let out a annoyed grunt as the missiles exploded around it and blew it to little black pieces (Edgar LP: 7300 - 5400).
Ginny smiled and replied, "Great dueling, Jeb!"
"I will defeat you! I end my turn now."
Edgar drew a card and replied, "You'll never do so, dude. I activate Burial from the Different Dimension."
He placed his Exodia pieces back into the graveyard and then replied, "Perfect. I'll set a monster and set a card as well and that'll complete my turn."
Jeb drew a card and replied, "Attack!"
The machine soldier fired another barrage of missiles and they shot out and a Spirit Reaper appeared on the card (DEF: 200) and the attack did nothing to it.
"Your turn now."
Edgar drew a card and replied, "I activate Treasured Coins from Heaven."
Both drew until each had 6 cards and replied, "I play Silent Doom."
Suddenly, the Right Leg of the Forbidden One appeared and turned sideways (DEF: 300).
"By tributing a Forbidden One monster, I can Special Summon another form of Exodia from my hand!"
As the leg faded away, another huge and golden form of Exodia appeared. (ATK: ?).
"Meet the massive and amazing The Legendary Exodia Incarnate!"
Ginny then replied, "Never seen this one before."
"This card gains 1000 attack for each Forbidden One card in my graveyard."
It glowed with power (ATK: ? - 5,000).
"Now, I play my facedown Breakthrough Skill and I'm going to use it on your machine."
The trap appeared and fhe machine began to glow (ATK: 2,700 - 2,100).
"Now, destroy that thing with Forbidden Obliteration!"
The huge diety opened its hands and a burst of golden fiery energy shot out and struck, reducing the machine to a pile of molten metal (Jeb LP: 7100 - 4200).
"There you go. I'll use its effect to get a Forbidden One monster from my hand."
He quickly did so and took back Exodia the Forbidden One (ATK: 5,000 - 4,000) and then replied, "I'll set a card and that'll end my turn now."
Jeb drew a card and replied, "I'll set a monster and a card and that'll end my turn now."
Edgar drew a card and pointed as another burst of golden flames shot out and a Boot-up Soldier - Dread Dynamo appeared on the card (DEF: 2,000) before the fiery blast reduced to a pile of burning metal and he took his Left Arm of the Forbidden One and added it to his hand (ATK: 4,000 - 3,000) and he replied, "Your turn now."
Jeb drew a card and replied, "I activate Recycling Plant!"
The spell appeared.
"For another of my fusions, I'll banish my Gadget Soldier, Gadget Tank, Gadget Dragon and my Red Gadget!"
As the cards appeared and vanished, a Gadget Solider that was even more upgraded then the first one appeared. Its arms were now missile launchers and they were was one in the chest as well and its armor looked better then before (ATK: 1,800 - 3,400).
"This is my Deluxe Ultra Gadget Soldier and gains 400 attack for each Fusion Material monster I used on him. Now, blast his Exodia Incarnate away!"
The machine soldier aimed its launcher and a huge barrage of missiles shot out and exploded near the huge diety and let out a roar before it finally exploded into gold & black shards (Edgar LP: 5400 - 5000) and he replied, "Whe it destroys a monster in battle, you take damage equal to the level of that monster times 200!"
Another barrage of missiles shot out and exploded around him (Edgar LP: 5000 - 3000).
"I'm having better luck with this deck then my other one! I end my turn now."
Edgar drew a card and replied, "I play my own Polymerization to fuse my Exodia the Forbidden One with a Dragon monster in my hand!"
The head of Exodia appeared and merged together with a Axe Dragonute and ending result was a golden dragon with the head of Exodia and two beautiful golden wings (ATK: 3,000).
"This is my Exodiragon the Forbidden One Dragon!"
Jeb then replied, "Wow, I guess."
"It has a very powerful effect! I tribute it to summon my Master of the Guard and it will be treated if it was tributed with 5 monster and also gains the same attack and defense as this card!"
The dragon vanished into nothing and the mighty Exodia form that defeated Jeb before appeared again (ATK: ? - 3,000).
"Next, I'll banish my Breakthrough Skill."
He did so and the machine glowed (ATK: 3,400 - 1,800).
"Now, Code Change!"
The spell appeared and the text on the card went from DarK Fiend to Dark Machine and Ginny sighed sadly and replied, "No, it can't end like this again."
"See you later for good, sucker! Attack his Soldier now!"
The huge creature began to glow and Jeb smiled and replied, "I really don't think so, dude. I activate Battle Fusion!"
He quickly played the spell The machine glowed (ATK: 1,800 - 4,800) And the soldier fired another barrage of missiles and they shot out and exploded near the huge Spellcaster and it erupted into a fiey explosion of hellfire & smoke (Edgar LP: 5000 - 4200) and he groaned and replied, "Oh, fuck you right now, dude! I End my turn now."
The machine glowed (ATK: 1,800 - 3,600) and Jeb drew a card and replied, "Time to say goodbye, asshole! I Summon my Nanobreaker!"
As he sat the card down, the female android appeared (ATK: 1,600).
"Now, I activate Limiter Removal!"
THe machines began to glow (ATK: 1,600 -3,200 - (ATK: 3,600 - 7,200).
"Time to say goodbye! Nanobreaker, attack!"
The machine went and struck the zombie with its sword and it burst into pixels soon after.
"Now, finish him off!"
The huge machine fired its missiles and they all exploded around the virus (Edgar LP: 4200 - 0).
