Ace was smiling as he walked back with Ray.
"What were you two talking about?" Zarc asked them.
"I just told Ace about how we met." Ray smiled.
"O-Oh." Zarc chuckled. "Haven't thought of that in a long time."
Ace smiled. "You and mommy must have been really happy, and even happier when big sis was born."
"Yeah." Zarc smiled. "Dawn came to us when we least expect it."
Dawn just smiled.
"Should we tell him that story?" Zarc asked Ray.
Ray answered, "I think later. Mason, and Bonnie want to see their Grandma right now."
Ace turned to them. "Do you want to see her?"
They both nodded with happy tears in their eyes. Ace nodded before closing his eyes. "Hopscotch."
The aura surrounded the three surprising everyone before they appeared in the library.
"Eh... Already?" They turned to see Elder Gutknecht was there.
"W-Whoa!" Mason said startled hiding behind Bonnie.
Ace swallowed nervously. "I'm sorry, is it too early to come back?"
"No no... You just surprised me is all." Elder Gutknecht said before walking over.
"Well, Mason is my other friend and I was hoping you knew where his grandma was." Ace explained despite still looking nervous.
"Huh... What is her name?" Elder Gutknecht asked him.
Ace turned to Mason and Bonnie.
"Daisy... Daisy Livingston." Bonnie answered.
Elder Gutknecht nodded, "Ah... Daisy I know her... But let me tell you. What she looks like right now would be a bit unsettling..."
"A skeleton?" Bonnie asked.
"Well you'll have to see for youselves." Elder Gutknecht said before he talked to his raven as it cawed before flying off.
Ace stepped back to let Mason and Bonnie have some space when their grandmother arrived. They hear footsteps as they seen someone arriving.
"Elder Gutknecht? Your raven said I have visit-" The person cut herself off when she sees Mason, and Bonnie.
The person was a skeleton but her blue dress has several tears in it with wearing a fancy hat, and short gray hair. Mason's eyes widened before he started to tear up as he ran and hugged her.
"M-Mason? Is it really you?" The skeleton asked shocked.
"It is... grandma." Mason choked out hugging her.
Bonnie has tears as she ran, "Granny!"
She hugged her as the skeleton now known as Daisy looked at them shocked before asking, "Don't tell me... You two are now dead?"
They shook their heads before explaining everything that had happened.
Daisy's bony jaw was wide open that can make shock.
Lance emerged from Mason's Duel Disk, and said "Hey Dais... You look fine."
"Lance... You've been taking care of Mason, and Bonnie?" Daisy asked him.
Lance nodded, "Yeah... Bonnie is a little rough around the edges with me, and Mason is great with what they do best."
Daisy nodded hearing that before asking Mason, "Mason... Do you still have nightmares of the Incident?"
"Not anymore." Mason smiled.
If Daisy could she should smile right now before she turned her attention to Ace, "You. Come here."
Ace blinked before slowly walking up. "I don't want to interrupt you getting to see each other."
Daisy only hugged him, "Thanks so much for feeling my Grandkids."
"I didn't do much." Ace blushed.
"Oh nonsense." Daisy said patting his head. "Freeing Mason from his Nightmares, and Bonnie from her path of revenge is more then 'much' then you know."
Ace blushed again. "Mason did more for me though."
"As a way to pay you back." Daisy said before spotting the eye on Ace's Duel Disk. "Ah Lance. I see you managed to find some of your comrades."
Aqua emerged as she said, "Hello Mrs. Livingston. My name is Aqua."
"And from your name your the Ignis of Water?" Daisy asked.
Aqua nodded.
"I see." Daisy nodded as she walked back to her Grandchildren. "It was great seeing you two again. I wish it would be where I am still alive."
Ace turned to Elder Gutknecht. "Could they come see her sometimes?"
"As much as they like." Elder Gutknecht answered. "They just have to say 'Hopscotch', and then they'll be here. I won't have my ravens bring her here everytime so they'll have to find her by foot."
"Ok." Ace smiled.
Daisy then said to Bonnie, "Bonnie... For you."
"Huh?" Bonnie asked hearing that.
Daisy hand her a card which Bonnie looked.
A card known as White Magician Pikeru.
"I've been meaning to give it too you when you, and Mason would come to live with me for awhile." Daisy explained before looking down, "Right before HE stepped in, and killed me."
"He?" Ace asked in surprise.
Daisy nodded, "I couldn't see his face. He disabled Lance so he couldn't figure it out. But I do know that it used a card that is a warrior having a spear, and it was a Cyberse Card."
"Lightning!" Aqua cried.
They turned to her hearing that.
"Aqua?" Ace asked surprised. "How did you know it was Lightning?"
"The Cyberse cards come from the Ignis ourselves, and Lightning is the only one who has any monsters with spears." Aqua answered.
Lance hearing that clenched his hands as he screamed "DAMMIT ALL TO HELL! LIGHTNING!"
"Huh?" Aqua asked shocked.
"Aqua? Lance what's wrong?" Ace asked seeing them like this.
"LIGHTNING!" Lance screamed. "He's taunting us, dating me to find him!"
"Lightning... Is all cause of him Nana died." Bonnie clenched her hand.
"I won't forgive him!" Lance yelled as he started to cry surprising everyone. "I won't... I won't forgive him... He took Daisy from me, Mason, and Bonnie... He took Earth from us... Made us suffer... He will pay for this!"
SLAP.
Aqua had slapped Lance across the face. Everyone looked shocked at this as Lance turned to Aqua shocked as he rose a hand to his cheek.
"Don't be an idiot, he'll delete you." Aqua told him while looking down. "None of us have any chance of beating him. You know that Towairaito."
"I... I can't just sit back... And watch him do what he wants..." Lance said with tears running down his digital cheeks.
"I know." Aqua nodded sadly. "But what can we do?"
"I think I know." Ace told them. "Uncle Declan is a great person for computer, and AIs. He might make something that can protect you guys along with Flame, and Ai to keep safe from Lightning deleting you guys."
"It's worth a try." Mason mentioned. "Plus we can go with you."
"But their is also something else..." Lance mentioned before saying hatefully, "The Judgement Arrows..."
"Judgement Arrows?" Ace asked.
"A spell unlike anything you know." Lance answered. "He made it that is combined with the use of Link Monster's Link Arrows."
"A Link Spell?" Ace asked before looking down. "That's my fault."
Aqua looked confused at this.
"Aqua... Ace was the one who created Link Summoning." Mason told her.
"Wait, he... what?" Aqua asked in disbelief.
They all nodded.
Elder Gutknecht got another raven egg before saying, "Should I ask for you all to continue this at the Land of the Living? This is something the Dead don't wish to hear?"
"Oh, we're very sorry." Mason apologized before hugging Daisy again. "I love you grandma."
Daisy hugged him back, "I love you to Macy. You too Bonnie. Be careful."
They nodded as Bonnie hugged her too.
"We'll try and come back if we can." Bonnie smiled.
Daisy smiled nodding.
They all watched as Elder Gutknecht broke the egg as the smoke from it transport all five of them back to the Living where it was back at the Sakaki room.
"Ace? Everyone?" Alex asked noticing them.
Ace suddenly frowned. "I'm why Earth was deleted."
"What?" Ai asked surprised. "What made you say that?"
"I made Link, and Lightning has a spell that uses Link so it's my fault." Ace answered before tearing up.
Dawn hugged him close to her.
He hugged her as he cried.
"It's not just Earth, Lightning killed our grandmother too." Bonnie revealed.
"Huh!?" Everyone asked shocked.
"Lightning... What made you like this?" Flame asked shocked.
"So what do we do about him?" Yuri questioned. "Do we erase him, see if Jarrod can reset him somehow?"
"Declan?" Bonnie asked him. "Ace told us you can do something to keep Lightning from deleting the other Ignises?"
"Not alone, but there is someone who may be able to help... possibly." Declan answered.
"Who?" Mason asked him.
"Seto Kaiba." Declan answered.
Yugi nodded as he said, "He might not be too willing but I think Kaiba can't allow someone like Lightning to mess his software across all the Dimensions."
"Wait what about Windy?" Ai asked them.
"Windy?" Yuki asked him.
Ai nodded, "The Wind Ignis."
"Hopefully he's still safe." Alex mentioned.
"So we need to get to the Ritual Dimension, and have Kaiba form the defense so Lightning can't harm the other Ignis." Lilly summarized.
Sandy hugged Ace as Dawn let him go, "It's okay Ace... I'm right here."
Hearing her voice Ace turned bright red. Sandy keep him in her arms, "It's okay... Cry as long as you need."
"I'm ok, really." Ace said shyly as he kept getting brighter.
"You still have tears." Sandy said not noticing the brightness of his face.
Ace turned even brighter before closing his eyes. "Please let go."
Sandy looked at Dawn.
"I think he's a little embarrassed about what Amy said." Dawn explained.
Sandy nodded before she said to Ace, "It will be alright Ace."
She kissed his forehead before she let go walking away. Ace touched his forehead before frowning. Ray patted his back.
"Nice people should be with nice people, not bad people like me." Ace frowned.
"It isn't your fault Ace." Ray told him.
"If I didn't make up Link then... wait mommy how do the Ignis have Link cards?" Ace asked. "I'm younger than when they were born right?"
Ryoken hearing that answered, "The Ignis were created 10 years from the Incident. Which means they been born 6 years before your born."
Ace frowned as he started tearing up again. "But if I made Link, how did they get it? Is every bad thing in the world my fault? Am I a bad person?"
"No your not. Your a wonderful person. You didn't know Lightning was going to use Link." Ray said hugging him as Sandy looked on with saddened eyes before walking over to him.
"But... I helped Lightning hurt Aqua's friend, Mason's grandma was hurt because of me... and..." Ace just looked down. "I wasn't with Amy like a good friend. Plus I'm always scared and..."
He just started crying again as he hugged Ray back. Sandy patted his back, and hugged him from behind "Don't worry about that Ace... We will stop Lightning what we can do... And we make sure that he atones for his crimes."
Ace blinked before turning and asking in confusion. "Why? Why are you so nice? We don't know each other yet."
Sandy smiled, "It doesn't matter if we don't know much of each other. What matters is that we are all in this together."
Ace started tearing up again before hugging her. "Thank you..."
Sandy smiled hugging him back. "Your welcome... Little Ace."
"I'm not that little." Ace pouted.
"Just something I could think of." Sandy smiled. "Nothing else."
Ace blushed more at that before...
"Ugh..."
They turned to see.
Zuzu and Yuya were groaning and starting to wake up.
"Zuzu! Yuya!" Zarc cried running over.
"Huh? Zarc..." Zuzu asked weakly opening her eyes. "What... what happened?"
Alex walked, and took her hand, "One-Hundred Eyed Dragon... He came back."
Zuzu's eyes widened. "Stacy, there was a huge explosion, I heard her scream and then nothing!"
"It's okay... She's fine." Alex told her with a smile as she turned to where Stacy is sleeping comfortably in her bed with Tate snoozing sitting beside her in the chair holding her hand.
Zuzu let out a breath of relief before pausing as she noticed Sandy. "Oh, who are you?"
Sandy noticed, and answered "Hi... I'm Sandy. I'm someone who can communicate with the dead."
Zuzu blinked in surprise. "Oh, ok. Nice to meet you, I'm Zuzu Sakaki."
Sandy nodded at that. "Everyone said that my eyes are like rubies. What do you think?" Pointing at her red eyes.
"I agree, they're really pretty." Zuzu smiled.
Ace blushed again.
Sandy smiled hearing that.
"Five more minutes." Yuya mumbled.
Yuki rolled his eyes before saying, "Yuya Sakaki wake up right now!"
Yuya nearly jumped out of the bed only to land on his head.
"Huh, Yuki? What are you doing here?" Yuya asked.
"Me, and the guys came to check on you, Zuzu, and Stacy." Yuki answered. "One-Hundred Eyed Dragon attacked a while ago, and Alex kicked him to the curb. The three of you have been out cold for a while."
"What, is she ok?" Yuya asked.
"Yeah she's fine with Tate at her side." Yuki answered before saying, "And then we met a girl who can communicate with the dead named Sandy."
"Communicate with the dead?" Yuya asked in surprise. "That's cool."
Gale helped Yuya back at the bed with Kelly helping her as Sandy walked over to him. Suddenly they heard someone crying. Startled they turned. Amanda had finally woken back up and she had started crying again in Sarah's arms. Sarah rubbed her back, and said soothingly "It's okay Amanda."
"Mommy..." she said while crying only to suddenly see the five Odd-Eyes Dragons and start crying even more.
Yuya noticed them, and looked shocked "Wha... Where did they come from!?"
"You mean you don't know?" Yuto asked surprised.
"No." Yuya admitted.
Yugo answered, "Well Odd-Eyes have split, and formed those cards, and Zarc founded Pendulum Versions of our dragons."
"Wait of your dragons?" Yuya asked in shock. "How is that possible?"
"We were hoping you would tell us." Yuki answered.
"Clearly he doesn't know how these new dragons showed up, but since they did our best option is to test them right?" Yuri inquired. "All things considered. I'm curious how Yuto would summon a rank seven monster."
"Yeah I am curious over what these new dragons are made of." Yugo grinned.
"Guys focus." Takeru told him. "We gotta tell Kaiba about building a protection program for the Ignis."
Suddenly Yugi's phone started ringing. Yugi answered, "Hello? This is Yugi Muto."
"Alright what did they do?" Kaiba questioned angrily.
"Kaiba?" Yugi asked surprised.
"I take it you remember the virtual game Mokuba showed you?" Kaiba questioned.
"Yeah. Did something happened with it?" Yugi asked him.
"Somehow it's been completely reprogrammed from the inside and the Kaibacorp mainframe has been shut down completely." Kaiba answered. "Whichever one of your loser friends did this is going to regret it."
"Wait what!?" Yugi asked shocked.
Yuki asked, "Yugi what's going on?"
Yugi answered to them, "Something's wrong! Someone have reprogrammed the virtual game I gone into one time from the inside, and the Kaibacorp mainframe has been shut down completely!"
That shocked everyone.
"What!?" Gale asked shocked.
"Then without Kaiba's help..." Mason trailed off as tears started to gather, "Lance, and the others are helpless when Lightning finds them!"
"We need to go help." Ace said. "It's all my fault Lightning can hurt them so I have to go fix it."
"No it isn't Ace." Sandy said taking his shoulder. "We will fix it together."
Ace turned to her in surprise before tearing up again and hugging her. "Thank you."
Sandy hugged him back before kissing his forehead again, "Your welcome Little Ace."
Ace blushed at that.
"Alright, we'll head over and take care of this." Yuto mentioned. "You three stay and make sure you recover."
Zuzu, and Yuya nodded while Stacy continued sleeping with Tate with her. Everyone else left the room so they could head to the Ritual Dimension. When they arrived they head to Kaibacorp. The lights in the building were all off and it looked abandoned.
"Oh gosh." Yuki said shocked.
"Moki?" Kelly asked.
"Over here." he said walking up with Kaiba.
"Alright, what happened?" Kaiba questioned.
"We don't know." Gale answered. "None of us done anything of this."
"Great." Kaiba frowned. "More of your magic Yugi?"
"No." Yugi answered.
Yusaku suggested, "Maybe Kolter can find out what's going on. He is a skilled man on the computer, and he might find out."
"Or we can go in, and look ourselves." Sandy mentioned.
"Good luck, the only way into Kaibacorp's network is through that same game I told Yugi about but somehow nobody can get in." Kaiba stated.
"Whoever's doing this added some kind of access protocol." Mokuba explained. "It would take a computer to crack it, Seto's been trying for hours."
"Computer eh?" Ai grinned. "Ah nothing more simplier them us! Just leave it to me, and the Ignis!"
Kaiba raised an eyebrow before rolling his eyes. "Go ahead, you can't possibly make it worse."
With that they walked in. There were four pods with slots for decks and computer code writing itself on each pod.
"What do you need to do?" Takeru asked Flame.
"Get in, and leave the rest to us." Flame answered.
They nodded as Takeru, Ace, Mason, and Yusaku entered the pods, and placed their decks in as they waited.
A few seconds later the four Ignis appeared and nodded.
"Give it a try." Aqua said.
"Wait wait." Sandy said as they turned to her as she walked to Ace, and smiled "Be careful in there... Little Ace."
She then gave him a soft peck on his lips stepping back. Ace blushed heavily at that before Kaiba pressed a button and the four of them were entered into the game. The pods closed as their minds jumped in.
In the game...
The four appeared in the game.
"Wow, this is... wow." Mason said before looking around only to suddenly blink before starting to laugh.
"What?" Takeru asked.
"Ace... you..." Mason started before laughing again.
They looked to see as Takeru held his mouth trying to contain his laughter while Yusaku held a slight grin.
"What?" Ace asked in confusion.
Aqua said nervously having a slight blue blush, "Uh... Look at yourself."
Ace blinked before looking around. "Ok, but where are you Aqua?"
As he said that Ace looked around before seeing a river and walking over to it. Ace looked in the river, and sees... He is wearing a blue dress that has water deigns on it. Ace blushed only to fall back in shock when he did. "What... happened?"
Aqua told him, "I am so sorry about that! It might be because I am a Girl Ignis that the computer made you look like that!"
"Not that... it's, why do I blush blue?" Ace asked in confusion. "Where are you?"
"Uh... I think we sorta merged." Aqua answered. "I should try to program a different appearance on you."
"No, leave it like that it's fine." Takeru chuckled.
Ai was outright laughing like a hyena, "Oh man I wish we should record, and take pictures of this!"
Ace blushed again at that. "I'm sorry miss Aqua, maybe big sis Dawn should have come with you so they wouldn't laugh at you."
"No it's my fault I went with you." Aqua said as she got to work, and before long Ace was in a new appearance of a blue samurai robe, and having water designs on it, and with it comes a blue headband with a dragon it in.
Suddenly yellow static appeared and Ace's appearance returned to normal.
"I let you in, and you're trying to rewrite my code, how inconsiderate." stated a voice from all around them.
They looked around now startled.
"Who's there?" Yusaku asked looking around.
"That voice." Aqua whispered.
"It's Lightning." Flame stated.
"What?" Mason asked shocked.
Takeru grunted, "Seems like trying to get the program now is null and void."
"Not at all, win the game and it's yours." Lightning stated.
"Where are you!?" Lance yelled. "Show yourself you coward!"
"At the endgame, I'm waiting to see you all." Lightning stated before the voice faded.
"Could've at least given us some instructions." Mason mentioned.
Aqua said to Ace guilty, "Ace... I'm so sorry your stuck to look that way."
"It isn't your fault, I'm sorry they were laughing at you." Ace apologized before smiling. "If I can help you that's the important thing right?"
"Of course." Aqua agreed.
(A/N (Ulrich362): Yes Ace is embarrassed but he wants to help the Ignis and so isn't going to complain about wearing a dress. He's too considerate to yell at Aqua and Ai laughing just made him want to try and cheer her up a little.)
"Well, we have our cards so it's obvious we'll be dueling." Yusaku noted. "The question is who our opponents will be."
They settled into their new appearances.
Takeru now looks like a orange, blue haired teen with orange eyes, and wearing a gray, and orange jumpsuit.
Yusaku now is wearing a black suit with green eyes, and having yellow hair.
And Mason is wearing a black, and yellow uniform with white, and gray hair together, and blue eyes.
"Well, which way now? Can you all sense Lightning?" Mason asked.
The Ignis tried to sense. Suddenly Ace started walking unconsciously towards a forest.
"Ace?" Takeru asked looking noticing this.
Ace turned to them before his eyes flashed yellow.
"Lightning is this way, I'm positive." Aqua told him.
The three looked surprised as they nodded before they followed Ace.
The moment they entered the forest an Inzektor Hornet, and a humanoid plant approached them both wearing yellow duel discs.
"Looks like Tag-Team." Yusaku remarked.
"Or two separate duels." Takeru mentioned. "So who's going to duel?"
"I'll take that one." Mason said getting ready against the Hornet.
"Ok, then I'll duel the other one." Ace mentioned getting ready himself.
The opponents secure themselves.
Yusaku and Takeru stepped back to watch but remained close in case something went wrong.

"He's at a severe disadvantage." Yusaku frowned.
'He can say that again.' Mason thought. 'Man Lightning sure had been working hard to make opponents to be this tough...'
'Mason...' Ace thought nervously as the Hornet ends his move.
Mason 2nd Turn:
Mason drew, and smiled "Ace you are always with me, and right now the move I'm making will change this."
Gyrus Rage shattered since he doesn't a Gyrus during his Stand-By Phase. The Hornet just watched him.
"Okay first off I'll summon Gyrus Summoner!" Mason called as the monster appeared.

This card can be treated as a LINK-2 monster. Once per turn: You can pay 500 Life Points to Special Summon 1 "Gyrus" Link Monster in your GY.
"What is he planning with that?" Flame inquired.
"Once a turn by paying 500 points I can summon a Gyrus Link from my graveyard!" Mason called. (Mason: 2000) "And the one in question is Gyrus Adria!"
Adria appeared.
"And now appear the Circuit of the Inferno!" Mason called as the circuit appeared. "The summoning conditions are at least 2 Gyrus Monsters! I set Gyrus Adria, and Link 2 Gyrus Summoner in the Link Markers!"
Adria flew up, as Summoner turned to 2 as they flew, and entered the markers.
The Hornet just watched on.
"Link Summon! Link 3, Gyus Belial!"
Belial appeared roaring in place.

"Belial." Ace smiled seeing the familiar monster.
"When summoned you take half your monster's points as damage!" Mason called.
(Hornet: 0300)
"And now I activate the field spell, Gyrus Inferno!" Mason called as the field spell.

"And now appear the circuit of the Inferno!"
The black circle appeared as Belial passed through it.
"And that's that." Takeru chuckled.
"Demonic Virus, awaken the true power of the Lord of Lies with the power of purification! Reincarnation Link Summon!"
At that a green portal as what appeared was Belial. "Revive once more the Lord of Lies, Gyrus Belial!"
Then Belial roared with it's 2300 attack points.
"Reincarnation..." Aqua whispered.
"When Belial is Reincarnation Link Summoned I can take control of one of your monsters!" Mason called as Belial set it's sights on Hornet's monster
Inzektor Dragonfly flew over to Mason's side.
"And now to finish this. Dragonfly attack him directly!" Mason called.
The Dragonfly struck the Hornet dropping it's points to zero before it vanished.
Mason: 2000
Hornet: 0000
Mason wins the duel!
Mason grinned before he sees on his Life Point gauge his points are still on 2000.
"You ok?" Takeru inquired.
"Yeah." Mason nodded before saying, "Now it's Ace's turn."
Ace nodded before looking at his hand and gasping. 'Huh?'

"Ok... I start with the field spell Whirlpool Gardens." Ace said as a wave of water washed over the field before several whirlpools formed around them.
Whirlpool Gardens
Field Spell Card
While this card is activated WATER Link Monsters can be summoned with one less Link Material. Once per turn: Add 1 WATER Attribute Cyberse monster from your deck to your hand and then discard one card from your hand.
"Huh?" The three asked surprised.
"Doesn't Ace use Hieratics?" Takeru asked them. "Or Cyberse Gyrus Dragons?"
"Next, I use the effect of Whirlpool Gardens to add a Water Cyberse monster to my hand and discard one card. Then I'll summon Sea Dancer Marina in attack mode." Ace continued as a humanoid figure made out of water emerged in front of him.
Sea Dancer Marina

Level 2
Cyberse
ATK: 300
DEF: 0
If used for the Link Summon of a WATER Attribute monster this card can be treated as two Link Materials. If this effect is used shuffle one card from your graveyard into your deck.
The plant only stared.
"Now, I use Sea Dancer Marina's effect to count as two Link Materials and then my field spell lets me use one less Link Material so I can summon a Link 3 monster." Ace explained. "I place Marina in the Link Markers."
Marina flew up before splitting into two as the water itself provided the third Link Material and they entered the top, bottom-left, and bottom-right Link Markers.
"I Link Summon Sea Dancer Poseidon!"
Sea Dancer Poseidon

When this card is Link Summoned using only Cyberse monsters discard up to three cards and for each card discarded shuffle one card on the field or in the graveyard back into the owners deck.
"Then since I used Marina's ability I can shuffle a card back into my deck."
The plant waited.
"Ok, um... now I discard three cards to return your three cards to your deck." Ace continued.
The three cards were shuffled.
"Now I play the last card in my hand, Sea Dance of Rejuvenation." Ace said. "If this turn cards have completed a full cycle from my deck to my hand, to my field or graveyard and then back to my deck if a Water monster I control attacks I regain life points equal to the damage. Sea Dancer Poseidon attack."
Sea Dance of Rejuvenation

The Dancer attacked the plant with a water stream. (Plant: 2000)
(Ace: 6000)
"I end my turn."
Ace: 6000
Plant: 2000
Plant 2nd Turn:
The plant drew before it played the spell, Card Destruction.
Card Destruction
Normal Spell Card
Each player discards their entire hand, then draws the same number of cards they discarded.
"My hand's empty." Ace mentioned.
"Ace what happened to your other Decks?" Mason asked him as the plant added Card Destruction with no effect back it it's hand
"That should be obvious." Flame smirked. "He's using a Water based Cyberse deck after all."
The plant looked before it summoned a face-down monster, and ends it's turn.
Ace 2nd Turn:
Ace drew his card before looking at the field. "I return Sea Dancer Ariel to my deck from my graveyard to activate her special ability and return one card on the field to it's owners hand."
The face-down monster returned to the plant's hand.
"Poseidon attack." Ace called.
The monster attacked the plant as it vanished.
Ace: 6000
Plant: 0000
Ace wins the duel!
Ace looked at the cards before smiling. "Wow, miss Aqua you're amazing."
Aqua had a light blue blush saying, "Your sweet Ace."
Ace just smiled.
"Alright, with that done let's keep moving." Yusaku said calmly.
They nodded walking on to find Lightning.
Meanwhile outside the game...
"No good, we managed to get in for a minute thanks to those Ignis but now we're locked out again." Mokuba frowned.
"Hopefully Ace, and the others are doing alright." Alex said worried.
"As long as their Life Points are still above zero they'll do this." Yuto mentioned to them.
That was before Jin flinched a little.
"Are you ok?" Alex asked.
Jin held his head as he said, "Cyberse... Light... Ignis... In the system..."
"What?" Yuri questioned. "How is that possible, how could you even know that?"
Ryoken told him, "The victims of the Lost Incident were the people who the Ignis were based off of. As such they held some sort of spiritual connection to each other ever since the Incident. Based on his reaction Jin's Ignis must be Lightning."
After hearing that Jin looked around fearfully as he sat down. Alex, Terri, Kelly, and Lilly all moved to support him.
"It's ok." Terri said.
"Lightning is Jin's Ignis..." Yugo repeated to himself. "Then... This really doesn't make sense!"
"I have no idea what these Ignis are, or what they are about all I know is that this 'Lightning' is the cause of the Kaibacorp mainframe shutting down, and those four need to put an end to his plans." Kaiba said typing in trying to fight Lightning's control.
"Whether or not it makes sense Jin is our friend and Lightning isn't, it's that simple." Yuto told Yugo. "For now, we just have to trust the others."
Ulrich362: Well... anything to say?
bopdog111: All I can say is that they better be ready for the Armatos Legio, Lightning is sure to bring out sometime.
Ulrich362: Definitely, it's a powerful deck and Lightning is a powerful opponent. Not to mention he has Earth's data and cards at his disposal too.
bopdog111: Though what is there to happen about Windy? Is there by any chance he can be encountered here at the Virtual World?
Ulrich362: We'll have to wait and see. See you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
