bopdog111: That duel was a tough one.
Ulrich362: Definitely.
bopdog111: Well now they are getting ready.
Ulrich362: Yup.
bopdog111: But first we will introduce two main characters of VRAINS that appeared in the second season.
Ulrich362: True.
Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V or Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS but we own the OCs!
Ulrich362: Enjoy the chapter.
The group have been helping Alex ever since what happened against Sly, and are giving her tips on handling the Immortals to where she said she's gonna have to re-edit her Deck to do so.
"Big sis, what if he gets stronger too?" Ace asked nervously.
"I'll get more stronger in case he does." Alex answered.
Ace shook his head. "You said Mr. Jarrod fused the big robots together, what if he tries to combine the Earthbound Immortals together like that?"
"Then I'll use everything I can to make sure he doesn't." Alex answered. "The Earthbound Immortals can still be banished in the graveyard."
"What if you end up losing though?" Ace asked fearfully.
Alex couldn't bear to think what. She told Ace, "If I do then promise me this... Promise me to save him in my place."
"Aa aa!" Bruno cried at that.
Alex hugged him as she said, "But I won't lose."
"... Then at least take this, I made it special for you big sis." Ace told her.
Alex turned over to see.
It was a new Link Monster.
Crystron Nebula Dragon
Water Type
Link Rating 3
Machine/Link
ATK: 2800
Link Arrows: Bottom, Bottom-Left, Top.
2+ "Crystron" monsters
This card is also treated as a Dragon-Type monster. While this card is co-linked to a "Crystron" Link Monster both monsters gain the following effect: Negate the effects of monsters that battle this card. If this card points to three monsters with different original names, banish all monsters in both players graveyards and then return up to that many cards on the field or in either player's hand to their deck, this effect cannot be negated.
Alex smiled as she said, "Thanks Ace."
"I just want to help..." Ace admitted.
"And your doing just that." Alex smiled.
"What do we do now?" Yuto asked. "There's no way of knowing where Sly is."
"Wait for him to come I guess." Yuya answered.
"It isn't just that, when we fought the Earthbound Immortals the first time each one of them possessed the Dark Signer they revived. Something else is connected to Sly." Yusei pointed out.
"So something else revived him?" Yugo asked.
"Exactly." Yusei nodded.
"Now that I think about it, do you guys think whoever or whatever it is that's connected to Sly might be related to the other visions you guys had too?" Jack inquired.
"It... Might be." Terri answered.
"Yami Marik, the Light of Destruction, Sly, and Dark Mist." Sora frowned. "That sounds wonderful."
"Wait would be Sardon be involved?" Kelly asked.
"That's a possibility but..." Zarc started before his deck started glowing.
"Daddy?" Dawn asked surprised.
Zarc took out his deck only to look through it and gasp in shock. "This... what happened?"
"What's wrong?" Yusaku asked.
"Double Iris, White Wing, Black Fang, Purple Poison, and Blue Frost... they're all gone." Zarc revealed.
"What?" Dawn asked in horror.
He showed everyone that he five cards were completely blank.
"What happened to them?" Yuki asked shocked.
"I don't know." Zarc admitted nervously.
"We should ask Sly what's going on." Alex suggested.
"If he even knows." Lester pointed out.
"He has to know." Alex argued.
"Alex calm down, everything will be ok." Leo promised.
"So many things are happening... First the Immortals are back for revenge, Sly is dead, and now the magicians are gone?" Alex asked with tears. "I want answers!"
"We all do." Stacy whispered hugging her.
Alex hugged her back.
"So now we just wait?" Terri asked.
"It's our only option." Lulu answered.
"I don't like this." Lilly frowned.
"We all don't." Celina answered.
A few days later...
Alex continued training at the park for the match with Sly before someone entered.
"Huh?" Alex asked turning to see who it was.
It was a young boy that has white hair with red highlights and blue eyes, and is wearing a pair of green framed glasses while having on a school uniform.
"Huh, can I help you?" Alex asked.
The boy turned over, "Sorry if I was disturbing you."
"No, is something wrong?" Alex asked.
"Well I'm looking for something-"
"Or someone at the matter." A Ignis emerged from his Duel Disk that is red-black, and red lines with orange eyes said.
"An Ignis!" Alex cried seeing him.
"Hey hey calm down my lady I mean ya no harm." The Ignis told her.
"No it's just... I already know two other Ignis, Ai and Lance." Alex explained.
"Hey you do know who were looking for!" The Ignis called.
"Huh?" Alex asked in confusion.
"We are looking for the Ignises he detected." The boy explained.
"Oh..." Alex started before frowning. 'Can I trust them?' "I don't know where they are though."
"Say what?" The Ignis asked surprised.
"I know them, but I don't where they are now." Alex explained.
"Oh." The boy said. "Well Flame said that he likes to reunite with his comrades."
"I'm really sorry I can't help you." Alex apologized.
"It's fine. I'm Takeru Homura." The boy said.
"My name's Alex." Alex replied. "It was nice to meet you."
"And I'm Flame. At your service young lady." The Ignis said bowing.
Alex smiled at him. Both Takeru, and Flame then walked off.
Alex watched them go before sending a message to Ryoken.
"Which one was the evil one again?"
"The one with Light. Why?" Ryoken messaged.
"Was it the fire one?" Alex messaged.
"Fire one? No." Ryoken answered.
"Oh, I just met him but couldn't remember who you said was the evil one." Alex messaged before running after them. "Excuse me, please wait."
Takeru turned over. "Huh?"
"I'm sorry... I lied before." Alex apologized. "I do know where they are."
"Lied? Shame on you!" Flame scolded.
"Flame I'm sure she did for a good reason." Takeru told him.
"One of the Ignis is evil." Alex said quietly.
"Sorry what?" Flame asked not hearing that.
"She said one of you is malicious in nature, and she was keeping her friends safe." Ryoken told them as he walked up.
They turned over to him.
"Huh?" Takeru asked.
"It's true." Alex added.
"Oh well congrats on ya." Flame told her.
Alex nodded.
"Should you take me, and Flame to them?" Takeru asked.
"Yes, follow us." Ryoken told him.
They nodded following them.
With the others...
Kolter was helping Jin with dueling with some help.
"...And then you take 2 or more more monsters with the same level to summon it." Terri explained.
He nodded in understanding.
"Aa aa!" Bruno cried from Rin's arms.
"Bruno?" Rin asked as they looked over.
He was smiling and reaching for Alex. "Aa aa!"
They soon see Alex arrived with Ryoken, and Takeru who has Flame with him. Rin smiled and walked over as Bruno reached for Alex while Yusaku walked up to Takeru.
Rin smiled and walked over as Bruno reached for Alex while Yusaku walked up to took Bruno hugging him.
"Hi there." Takeru smiled to Yusaku.
He hugged her and laid up against her.
"You were involved in the Lost Incident too?" Yusaku asked him.
Takeru frowned before saying, "Yes I am."
"Just like us then." Mason mentioned walking up to him as Lance and Ai emerged from their duel discs.
Flame emerged. "Hey ya too! Ai you haven't been slacking off as usual I hope?"
"Sorry but, who are you?" Lance asked.
"Flame!" Flame introduced.
"Lance, the Twilight Ignis." Lance replied calmly.
"Lulu Obsidian, I challenge you to a duel." stated a male voice.
"Huh?" They turned over.
A male figure hiding their identity with a black coat and mask was staring at her before activating his Duel Disc.
"Who are you?" Shay asked getting in front of Lulu.
"Step aside, I challenged Lulu." the figure stated coldly before knocking Shay out cold with a single punch.
"Shay!" Yuto gasped running to his best friend.
"I'm waiting Lulu." the figure told her.
Lulu grunted as she gets ready.
"DUEL!" they said together.
(Dueling Theme: Monster by Skillet)
Lulu: 4000
?: 4000
Let the duel begin!
Unknown 1st Turn:
"I'll start with four facedown cards and that's all." the figure stated.
Lulu 1st Turn:
Lulu drew, "I summon Lyrilusc - Cobalt Sparrow in attack mode!"
The bird woman appeared cawing.
Lyrilusc - Cobalt Sparrow
Wind Type
Level 1
Winged-Beast
ATK: 0
DEF: 100
If this card is Special Summoned: You can add 1 "Lyrilusc - Cobalt Sparrow" from your Deck to your hand.
The figure nodded.
"Now since I control a Lyrilusc monster I can special summon Lyrilusc - Sapphire Swallow and another Lyrilusc in my hand, which just so happens to be a second Cobalt Sparrow!" Lulu continued as a sapphire bird appeared.
Lyrilusc - Sapphire Swallow
Wind Type
Level 1
Winged-Beast
ATK: 100
DEF: 0
If you control a "Lyrilusc" monster, except "Lyrilusc - Sapphire Sparrow": You can Special Summon both this card and 1 Level 1 "Lyrilusc" monster from your hand.
The figure simply nodded again.
"Now since I special summoned Cobalt Sparrow I can add another one to my hand." Lulu called. "But why only use it once when I can use my second Sapphire Swallow's ability to summon itself and my third Cobalt Sparrow."
The two more birds appeared.
"Now I use my five monsters to build the Overlay Network!" Lulu called.
The five monsters flew to the overlay network forming a new monster.
"Birds with beautiful wings! Gather on the battlefield and take brilliant flight! Xyz Summon! Dance in the sky! Rank 1! Lyrilusc - Assembled Nightingale!" Lulu chanted.
Her ace appeared cawing.

2 or more Level 1 "Lyrilusc" monsters
This card gains 100 ATK for each Xyz Material attached to it. This card can attack directly a number of times each Battle Phase, up to the number of Xyz Materials attached to it. If this face-up card on the field would be destroyed by battle or card effect, you can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card instead, also you take no battle damage from this battle.
(ORU: 5)
The figure just stared at her monster without saying anything.
"Assembled Nightingale gains 100 attack points for each of her Overlay Units, and she can attack you directly one time for each of those Overlay Units." Lulu revealed.
Lyrilusc - Assembled Nightingale: (ATK: 0 + (5 * 100) = 500)
"Attack him directly!"
"Trap card open, Phantom Knights' of Lost Vambrace!" the figure countered as two facedown cards activated.
The Phantom Knights of Lost Vambrace
Normal Trap Card
Target 1 monster your opponent controls; it loses 600 ATK, then Special Summon this card in Attack Position as a Normal Monster (Warrior-Type/DARK/Level 2/ATK 600/DEF 0), and if you do, "The Phantom Knights" monsters you control cannot be destroyed by battle this turn. (This card is NOT treated as a Trap Card.)
"What?" Lulu asked surprised.
"Phantom Knights?" Yuto asked surprised.
"When summoned, each of my Lost Vambrace cards lowers the attack points of an opposing monster by 600." the figure stated.
Lyrilusc - Assembled Nightingale: (ATK: 500 - (2 * 600) = 0)
"I end my turn." Lulu ended.
Lulu: 4000
?: 4000
Unknown 2nd Turn:
"I draw, and now I activate the spell Corruptive Rank-Up-Magic Vex Force!" the figure stated. "I use one of your Xyz monsters as Xyz Material to summon a monster who's rank is equal to or less than the number of Overlay Units on that monster."
Corruptive Rank-Up-Magic Vex Force
Normal Spell Card
Effect: Activate only when your opponent controls an Xyz Monster with Xyz Material attached. Special Summon one Xyz Monster from your Extra Deck who's Rank is less than or equal to the number of Xyz Material attached to that monster, materials attached to that monster are also attached to the summoned monster. This effect cannot be negated.
"I use Assembled Nightingale as the material for an Xyz Summon."
'Vex?' Lulu thought shocked remembering Spencer uses Vex cards.
"He has a Vex card?" Terri asked shocked.
"Formed from pitch-black darkness, to fight those foolish enough to oppose it with its treacherous fangs! Now, descend! Rank-Up Xyz Change! Rank 4! Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon!" the figure declared.
Yuto's dragon appeared roaring.

You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card, then target 1 Level 5 or higher monster your opponent controls; its ATK becomes half its current ATK, and if it does, this card gains that lost ATK. These changes last until the End Phase.
(ORU: 6)
"What?" Yuto asked shocked. "First the Phantom Knights, next the Vex Spell, and now this!?"
"Now I Overlay my two Lost Vambraces in order to Xyz Summon The Phantom Knights' of Cursed Javelin in attack mode. Now, Cursed Javelin attack her directly!" the figure declared.

(ORU: 2)
Cursed Javelin charged striking Lulu. (Lulu: 2400)
"Dark Rebellion, end this." the figure stated as his dragon flew past Lulu only to strike her from behind sending her flying to where the figure caught her.
Lulu: 0000
?: 4000
? wins the duel!
"That was simple, and now she belongs to me."
With that Lulu and the figure vanished.
"Hey!" Yuto yelled.
"Mom!" Terri cried in horror.
"What's going on?" Yuya asked in confusion.
"Someone just came here, and took Lulu!" Yuto answered.
"I saw that, but who was that and why?" Yuya asked him.
"We don't know!" Yuto snapped.
Yugo punched Yuto across the face. "Calm down!"
"How can I?" Yuto asked.
"Someone using your cards just took Lulu, and that's horrible." Yugo told him. "The thing is, you already saved her once and you have even more people helping you this time so just calm down and think. Who else could use your cards?"
Yuto breathed as he thinks about it. Everyone just waited patiently.
"Yuri did when he beat me." Yuto answered.
"Yes, clearly I stole your cards dragon included, disguised myself, left my wife and our daughter just for the express purpose of coming back to duel Lulu and kidnap her again using a Vex card." Yuri summarized. "That must be what just happened."
"I know it wasn't you smart aleck." Yuto glared.
Suddenly Dawn frowned. "There is one other person."
"Who?" Zarc asked.
Dawn looked down uncertainly. "Our big brother."
"Black Fang?" Yuto asked.
"Yeah." Dawn answered nervously. "He's the only one it could be."
"But he vanished from his card." Ray said.
"Yeah he did, along with the others... but that could be what's going on. You guys remember Paradox?" Yusei asked Yugi and Jaden.
"How could we?" Jaden frowned.
"Who's Paradox?" Ai asked.
"Someone from the future who could steal cards. Which means those Magicians being corrupted by Sardon again is a definite possibility, and it means the others could show up too." Yugi answered.
"So someone like Paradox is messing the past?" Alex asked shocked.
"I don't know about that, but they've definitely done something to the Magicians." Yusei answered. "Which means they're definitely going to be coming after Rin and the others. The question is why?"
"Should we go to the past in that case?" Jaden asked.
"We can't." Yusei told him. "We knew where Paradox would be ahead of time but we don't know what happened to the Magicians."
"I want answers!" Alex cried sobbing.
Bruno started crying in her arms and trying to move even closer to her.
"There is someone who might have them." Ray told her. "We need to see these writings Spencer mentioned, it's the only clue we have."
"But where are they?" Terri asked.
"We need to find Spencer." Hart answered.
"Let's split up and look around, meet back here in an hour." Zarc told everyone.
They nodded at this.
"You're looking for someone?" asked a female voice.
"Maybe we can lend a hand." a male voice added.
They turned over. It was a woman with black and purple hair along with a man with two hair that was two different shades of red.
"Dextra, Nistro." Terri said.
"Hey Terri." Nistro smiled.
"What's going on?" Dextra asked.
"Black Fang have took Lulu." Yuto answered. "And he was using a Vex card so we need to find someone named Spencer."
"That's insane!" Nistro stated.
"Which Dimension is he from?" Dextra inquired.
"We don't know." Yuto answered. "We have to split up."
"Well in that case let us lend a hand too, and Shark and the others." Nistro suggested.
They nodded. With that everyone split up to search. They looked around hoping to find him until Zarc managed to see him.
"Spencer!" Zarc called.
Said boy turned over, "Huh?"
"We've been looking for you everywhere." Ace told him. "Aunt Lulu was kidnapped."
"Kidnapped?" Spencer asked surprised. "Why go to me? I'm only gonna do harm to you guys."
"We need to see the writings you mentioned, our brother was brainwashed by the Vex." Dawn explained.
"The Vex?" Spencer asked shocked. "Come with me."
"Can you wait for the others?" Ray asked while Zarc sent a message.
Spencer nodded. Ten minutes later everyone had arrived.
"Come with me." Spencer said.
They nodded and followed him. They followed him to where a clearing is at with what looks like old ruins of a alien ship.
"This is unbelievable." Jack admitted.
"Nobody had discovered this yet." Spencer said as he guided them in the ship as they can see Skeletons of what looks like Fallen, Cabal, and Hive soldiers along with remains of Vex Soldiers.
"What happened to them?" Mason asked nervously.
"They have been killed in this last battle." Spencer answered.
"Then... do you think Sardon killed them?" Zuzu wondered.
"No. This ship have crashed 3 years ago which is a year after Sardon's defeat." Spencer answered.
"It's scary." Alex admitted as Bruno slept in her arms.
They entered a place where Spencer looked around at them guides as he took something out, and placed it in where a screen came to life.
"I see, so are these them?" Declan asked calmly.
"Give me a sec." Spencer said typing things in before saying, "Here we are."
He shows them what looks like alien writing.
"Um... I can't read it." Ace admitted awkwardly.
"Well I have something to translate it." Spencer told them. "Give me a minute."
He typed in things before saying, "Done."
"Oh." Ace blushed. "I thought it was just me."
"It's ok Acey." Dawn smiled as everyone started reading.
'Vex Mind by Serkion.
We have been working on ways to put our enemies to our control as a new weapon to take over the universe, and even bring Oryx to his knees. We tested it on multiple of his Hive Soldiers, and they have each done so serving their purpose. Should anyone figure out that the only way to snap them out of it is by destroying the source of our power then we will fell down, and our plan will fail.'
"Spencer... this might sound strange but do the others have anything like that? A way to control their enemies?" Rin inquired.
"No. The Vex are Psychics in Space. Fallen focuses over Overwhelming their opponents while the Hive relies on ambushing. The Cabal are hardcore defending." Spencer answered.
"But our big brother's and sisters are missing, and one of them was brainwashed by the Vex!" Terri told him.
"I don't know. Maybe the Vex have brainwashed them all." Spencer told her.
"Do you know what the source of their power is?" Yuri asked.
"An orb that powers a generator not far from here." Spencer answered. "Serkion gave the coordinates to it before he died."
"Can you take us there?" Yuto requested.
"Okay but let me warn ya it is being guarded by what's left of the Vex." Spencer told him.
"We'll be alright." Yuya mentioned.
Spencer nodded as they walked off. A few minutes later Spencer took them to where a cave is at where a few Vex Goblins were keeping watch.
Ulrich362: Looks like a good place to stop to me.
bopdog111: Next chapter their gonna free Lulu, and the Magicians from the Vex.
Ulrich362: At least try to anyway.
bopdog111: Also we decided to place Amanda, and Amy back in.
Ulrich362: Not sure that's the best choice but given how this story is on Bopdog's page I guess he has the final say.
bopdog111: And that also means I don't care what people says about my stories. They are what we like they are.
Ulrich362: If you say so Bopdog... so I guess we'll see you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
