Ulrich362: Though it may not be the reason you expect at all.
bopdog111: Hope you all are ready for this.
Ulrich362: Enjoy the chapter.
Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! ARV-V or Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS!
"Are you ok Mason?" Ace asked nervously.
"Yeah." Mason nodded. "Stuck at 2000 points means I need to take extra procautions against what else Lightning can do."
"I wish I could give you my extra points." Ace mentioned looking at his own 6000
"Well hopefully Lance can figure something." Aqua mentioned.
"Right, but for now we need to find Lightning." Takeru mentioned.
They nodded agreeing as they continued walking.
Meanwhile in a completely empty room save for digital code racing along the walls a small yellow Ignis was speaking to a kneeling figure.
"Three of them are here, I trust you will succeed?" the Ignis asked.
"Of course Master." The figure told him. "With me being the perfect vessel for all of the Ignises I will take these fools down."
The Ignis just nodded as the figure vanished. "Bohman... it only you knew the truth of the matter. The seven of us are in even greater danger than they realize, and I promise your sacrifice will not be in vain."
As he said that the Ignis drew a card from the data; Ignis Shield, Earth.
Meanwhile...
Yusaku felt something as he turned around swiftly feeling it.
"Yusaku?" Takeru asked as they turned to him.
Yusaku looked around the space behind him before saying, "Thought I felt something."
"Do you think it's another enemy?" Ace asked nervously.
Ai assured, "Don't worry Ace. Me, and Playmaker have your back!"
"...Playmaker?" Mason asked confused.
"Just a little nickname I came up since Yusaku is in this garb." Ai explained.
"Oh... that sounds cool." Ace smiled.
"Then should we take your advice?" Flame asked Ai liking the idea.
"You mean names for all of you?" Mason asked before smiling. "Sounds like a plan for me, this is a giant game after all."
Takeru looked over himself as he said, "Well I have a Burning Soul plus I use fire monsters. Soulburner?"
"That works." Mason smiled.
"What bout you?" Lance asked Ace.
Ace looked down. "Um... I don't know."
"...Dragon?" Mason asked out of the blue.
"Dragon?" Ace repeated before closing his eyes. "If it's just for the game... what's the really big water dragon?"
"Water Dragon." Yusaku answered.
"I think he means Leviathan." Takeru mentioned.
Aqua asked Ace, "Do you want to be called Leviathan?"
"Do you?" Ace asked her.
"I think it suits you fine." Aqua nodded.
"Us." Ace smiled before turning to Mason. "That just leaves you."
Lance cupped his chin in thought looking over Mason figuring out what he should be called. "Not much for nicknaming characters but uh... Nephilim?"
"Oh... um ok." Mason nodded.
Suddenly Yusaku glanced to the side and activated his duel disc. "Come out."
The group looked confused at this.
Then a dark skin man having blonde, and blue hair with blue eyes, and wearing a white robe walked out of the woods. "Your observant."
"What the, who are you?" Takeru questioned.
"You may call me Bohman. The third generation of AI created by my master." The man introduced.
"Huh?" Ace asked in shock.
"Third generation, what are you talking about?" Lance questioned.
"You have already countered the first generation created by him." Bohman answered.
"Aren't you skipping the second generation then?" Ai questioned.
"The second generation is not able to handle you all." Bohman told him. "So my master have sen me."
"By Master you must mean Lightning?" Mason asked him.
"Correct." Bohman nodded.
Ace shuddered hearing that name. Mason patted his back.
"And now on account of Master Lightning I will get rid of you four, and transfer the Ignises Data to him." Bohman said as he gets ready.
"That won't be happening." Yusaku stated calmly.
"DUEL!"
(Dueling Theme: Zanza by Xenoblade Chronicles)
Yusaku: 4000
Bohman: 4000
Let the duel begin!

"I don't like this." Takeru frowned.
"Appear the circuit that connects the truth!" Bohman called as the circuit appeared. "The summoning conditions is one Hydradrive monster! I set Booster in the Link Marker!"
Booster flew to the bottom Link Arrow.
"Link Summon! Appear Link 1, Burn Hydradrive!" Bohman called as a red digital like snake appeared with 1000 attack points.

Seeing that Ace just looked down sadly.
"Burn, so he uses fire monsters." Takeru noted. "I should be dueling then."
"Now I summon a second Booster!" Bohman called as a second Booster appeared. "Appear the circuit that connects the truth!"
The circuit appeared.
"The summoning conditions is one Hydradrive monster! I set Booster in the Link Marker!"
Booster flew to the bottom Link Arrow.
"Link Summon! Appear Link 1! Coolant Hydradrive!"
A blue version of Burn Hydradrive appeared on the field with 1000 attack points.

"Or he could just use multiple attribute in his deck." Flame pointed out.
"And now here comes the judgement of this duel." Bohman said before calling, "I activate the Link Spell, Judgement Arrows!"
Hearing that the group looked as a spell that has three arrows on the top, and some hard artwork appeared.
Judgement Arrows
Link Spell Card
Link Arrows: Up, Up-Left, Up-Right
If a Link Monster this card points to battles, its ATK becomes double its current ATK during damage calculation only. When this card leaves the field while it points to a monster(s), destroy all those monsters. You can only control 1 "Judgment Arrows" in your Spell & Trap Zone a Link Monster points to.
"This card can only be activated in a Spell/Trap Zone a Link Monster points to." Bohman started. "When a Link Monster I have battles that monster's attack points are doubled. And when this card leaves the field all monsters linked to it are destroyed."
"Wait Judgement Arrows?" Ace asked in shock before looking down miserably.
Mason patted his back, "It's not your fault Ace."
"And now here comes the real part. Appear the circuit that connects the truth!" Bohman called as the circuit appeared the third time, "The Summoning Conditions are two Hydradrive Link Monsters! I set Burn, and Coolant in the Link Markers!"
The two flew in the Left, and Right arrows.
"Link Summon! Appear Link 2! Twin Hydradrive Knight!" A digital warrior carrying two swords appeared with 1800 attack points.

If this card is Link Summoned: You can target up to 2 Link Monsters used as Link Material; this card is treated as having the same Attribute(s) as that target(s). Monsters your opponent controls with the same Attribute as this card's have their effect(s) negated.
"Everybody who gets hurt or wants to hurt us its always because of Link. Mr. Earth, your grandma... and if we lose Miss Aqua and everybody else will be hurt too." Ace mentioned sadly.
"It's alright Ace. We will beat those guys with your method back." Mason assured.
Ace looked uncertain as they turned to the duel.
"When this is Link Summoned it's attribute becomes the same as the monsters used for it's summon!" Bohman called as the knight's blades glowed blue, and red.
"Fire and Water." Takeru frowned. "That's a useful ability, and it's being used against us."
"But why though?" Mason asked confused.
"It's simple. As long as Twin Hydradrive Knight is on the field monsters Yusaku summons that are the same attribute as it have their abilities negated!" Bohman answered.
"I set two cards, and end here!" Bohman ended.
Yusaku 1st Turn:
"My turn. Draw!" Yusaku drew as he called, "First off I'll summon Flame Bufferlo in attack mode!"
At that a digital buffelo with 1400 attack points appeared.

DEF: 200
If this face-up card leaves the field: You can discard 1 Cyberse monster, and if you do, draw 2 cards. You can only use this effect of "Flame Buffalo" once per turn.
"Wait, but it won't have any abilities!" Mason cried.
"Don't doubt Playmaker, Nephilim!" Ai grinned. "He knows what he's doing!"
"And then next up by reducing Bufferlo's level by 2, I can summon Cathy Eve L2!" Yusaku called as a digital like cat woman appeared.
Cathy Eve L2

If this card is in your hand: You can target 1 Level 3 or higher Cyberse monster you control; reduce its Level by 2, and if you do, Special Summon this card. You can only Special Summon "Cathy Eve L2" once per turn this way.
"He has to be careful though." Mason frowned looking at his life points again.
"And now appear the circuit that leads to the furture!" Yusaku called as the circuit appeared. "The summoning conditions is 1 Level 1 monster! I set Flame Bufferlo in the Link Marker!"
The cyberse entered the arrow.
"Link Summon! Appear Link 1! Linkuriboh!" At that a blue digital Kuriboh appeared with 300 attack points.

If this card is in your GY (Quick Effect): You can Tribute 1 Level 1 monster; Special Summon this card. You can only use this effect of "Linkuriboh" once per turn.
"Well if that's anything like the other Kuriboh cards it'll help." Takeru mentioned.
"And now Flame Bufferlo's ability! When it's sent to the graveyard by discarding a Cyberse I can draw 2 cards!" Yusaku called discarding Clock Wyvern, and drew two cards.
"Clever!" Lance called impressed. "Twin Hydradrive Knight's ability doesn't affect monster effects in the graveyard!"
"No wonder he was able to beat Ryoken." Mason whispered.
"And now since I control two monsters that are the same type I can summon Cyberse White Hat!" Yusaku called as white robed being with a white fedora appeared.
Cyberse White Hat

"And now appear the circuit that leads to the furture!" Yusaku called as the circuit appeared. "The summoning conditions are 2 Level 2 or higher Cyberse monsters! I set Cyberse White Hat, and Cathy Eve L2 in the Link Marker!"
The cyberses entered the Left, and Up Arrows.
"Link Summon! Appear Link 2! Update Jammer!" At that a small boy that has a pack on his back with a phone appeared with 2000 attack points.

If this card is sent to the GY as Link Material for the Link Summon: During this turn, that monster can make up to 2 attacks on monsters during each Battle Phase.
"It's not strong enough." Lance noted. "Not as long as that Link Spell exists."
Bohman looked as he said, "You avoided Fire, and Water for now."
"And now Cyberse White Hat's ability activates!" Yusaku called. "When it's sent to the graveyard for a Link Summon all monsters on your field loses 1000 attack points!"
Twin Hydradrive Knight: (ATK: 1800 - 1000 = 800)
"Good, now even if he doubles it Twin Hydradrive Knight will still be weaker than Update Jammer." Lance noted.
"Update Jammer attack!" Yusaku called as the monster attacked.
"Judgement Arrows effect!" Bohman called.
Twin Hydradrive Knight: (ATK: 800 x 2 = 1600)
"Update Jammer's ability!" Yusaku called. "When a Cyberse attacks by negating all card effects on the field the attack, and defense points of the battling monsters are returned to their original value! In addition if Update Jammer destroys your monster you take 1000 points of damage!"
"Oh, that works." Lance noted.
The monster shattered. (Bohman: 3800) Then the effect hit. (Bohman: 2800)
"Now Linkuriboh attack him directly!" Yusaku called as the monster attacked Bohman. (Bohman: 2500)
"So far so good." Takeru noted.
"I place 2 cards down, and that's all!" Yusaku ended.
Yusaku: 4000
Bohman: 2500
That was before Mason finally noticed what Ace is doing. "Ace?"
Ace didn't respond.
Bohman 2nd Turn:
Bohman drew before he called, "I activate my face-down! Property Spray! Once a turn by tributing a monster I gain Life Points equal to the attack points of that monster, and treat all monsters on your field as the attribute of that monster!"
Property Spray
Continuous Trap Card
Once per turn: You can Tribute 1 monster; gain LP equal to its ATK, then, until the end of the turn, all monsters your opponent controls become the same Attribute as the Tributed monster.
"Unless I stop that first!" Yusaku called, "I play the counter trap, Arrow Break!"

If you control a Link-3 or higher Link Monster, you can activate this card the turn it was Set. If you control a Link-4 or higher Link Monster, you can activate this card from your hand.
"He's doing well." Aqua noted.
"While I control a Link Monsters when you play a trap this card negates that trap, and destroys it!" Yusaku called as Property Spray shattered.
Bohman unfazed called, "I play the continuous trap, Hydradrive Cycle!"
Hydradrive Cycle
Continuous Trap Card
Activate this card if your Spell/Trap(s) is destroyed: Return 1 "Hydradrive" Link Monster from your GY to the Extra Deck, then you can apply these effects.

● Special Summon 1 "Hydradrive" monster from your GY, but change its ATK to zero once per turn, during the Main Phase 1: You can pay 400 LP and declare 1 Attribute (EARTH, WATER, FIRE, or WIND); Special Summon 1 "Hydradrive Token" (Cyberse/EARTH/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0) to the turn player's field in Defense Position, and if you do, it becomes the declared Attribute.
"That doesn't sound good." Flame frowned.
"With this when you destroy my Spell or Trap, I can return a Hydradrive Link Monster to my Extra Dedck from my grave, and draw cards equal to it's Link Rating!" Bohman called before adding, "In addition I can summon a Hydradrive from my graveyard reducing it's points to zero! I return Twin Hydradrive Knight, and summon Burn!"
He drew two cards, and Burn Hydradrive reappeared.
"Not good." Ai frowned.
"And now by paying 400 points I can summon a Hydradrive Token with an attribute, I declare! I declare wind!" Bohman called as a green small cyberse appeared. (Bohman: 2100)

"He's so strong." Ace frowned.
"Appear the circuit that connects the truth!" Bohman called as the circuit appeared, "The Summoning Conditions are two Hydradrive Link Monsters! I set Burn, and Flow in the Link Markers!"
The two entered the arrows.
"Link Summon! Appear Link 2! Twin Hydradrive Knight!" Bohman called as the knight reappeared in place ready for revenge. "It's effect activates! Wind, and Fire!"
The blades glowed green, and red.
"Any ideas Playmaker?" Takeru asked.
"I know Soulburner." Yusaku told him.
"Now Knight attack Update Jammer!" Bohman called as Twin Hydradrive Knight charged.
"I activate Linkuriboh's ability!" Yusaku called. "By tributing this card your monster's attack points become zero!"
Twin Hydradrive Knight: (ATK: 1600 - 1600 = 0)
"I activate the effect of Break Hydradrive in my hand!" Bohman countered. "By sending this card to the graveyard when you activate an effect that tributes a monster I can negate that effect, and deal you 800 points of damage!"
Yuaku widen his eyes as he took damage. (Yusaku: 3200)
Twin Hydradrive Knight's attack was successful as Bohman called "Judgement Arrows' effect!" (ATK: 1800 x 2 = 3600)
Yusaku grunted. (Yusaku: 1600)
"Oh no!" Ace cried fearfully seeing that.
"I set 1 card, and end my turn." Bohman ended.
Yusaku 2nd Turn:
Yusaku stood up as he grunted, "Well that backfired..." Before he drew.
"What can he do now?" Mason asked uncertainly.

"That's good." Mason smiled.
"Appear the circuit that leads to the future!" Yusaku called as the circuit appeared. "The summoning conditions are at least 2 Cyberse Monsters! I set Link 2 Update Jammer, and RAM Clouder in the Link Markers!"

"That... wow." Mason whispered.
"Since Update Jammer was used for a Link Summon, Detonate Deleter can attack twice this turn!" Yusaku called. "Detonate Deleter attack Twin Hydradrive Knight!"
The cyberse charged at the Link.
"Judgement Arrows effect!" Bohman reminded. (ATK: 1800 x 2 = 3600)
"Detonate Deleter's ability!" Yusaku countered. "At the start of the battle your monster is automatically destroyed!"
Twin Hydradrive Knight shattered at that.
"He won?" Ace asked hesitantly.
"Now Detonate Deleter attack Bohman directly!" Yusaku called as the monster charged.
Bohman called, "I play the Quick-Play Spell, Half Shut! This reduces your monster's points by halve but your monster can't be destroyed this turn!"
Half Shut

"That's really bad." Takeru frowned.
Yusaku grunted. "I end my turn."
Yusaku: 1600
Bohman: 1050
Bohman 3rd Turn:
Bohman silently drew as he looked.
"This is really bad." Mason frowned.

"Any bright ideas Ai?" Flame questioned.
"Don't worry. Yusaku can turn things around." Ai told him.
"Now with Cycle, I summon a Fire Token!" Bohman called. (Bohman: 0650)
A red token appeared.
"Appear the circuit that connects the truth!" Bohman called as three circuits appeared, "The Summoning Conditions are 1 Hydradrive Monster each! I set Break, the Token, and Booster in the Link Markers!"
At that the three flew to the Bottom Arrows each.
"Link Summon! Appear Link 1! Burn, Coolant, and Flow Hydradrives!" Bohman called as Burn, Coolant, and Flow reappeared all at where Judgement Arrows points at.
"And now here comes my true power!" Bohman called. "Appear the circuit that connects the truth!"
The circuit appeared the forth time.
"The summoning conditions are 3 Hydradrive Link Monsters! I set Burn, Coolant, and Flow in the Link Markers!" Bohman called as the three flew to the Left, Bottom, and Right arrows. "Link Summon! Appear Link 3, Trident Hydradrive Lord!"

"2300?" Lance asked in shock.
"Trident's effect works like Knight's!" Bohman called as it's trident glowed blue, green, and red.
"This Bohman is skilled." Flame noted.
"Now I activate the equip spell, Hydradrive Accelerator!" Bohman called as the card appeared.
Hydradrive Accelerator

This card gains the following effect, depending on the equipped monster's Attribute. ● EARTH: The equipped monster cannot be destroyed by battle. ● WATER: The equipped monster is unaffected by your opponent's Trap Cards. ● FIRE: The equipped monster is unaffected by your opponent's Spell Cards. ● WIND: Once per turn, if your opponent activates an effect target other than the equipped monster: You can negate its activation.
"So now as Trident Lord is a Fire, and Water monster it is unaffected to your spells, or traps, and since it's also a Wind any effects that targets other then Trident Lord is negated!"
"It's over." Ace frowned.
"Now attack Trident Lord! Judgement Arrows effect!" Bohman called as the lord attacked. (ATK: 2300 x 2 = 4600)
Yusaku called, "I activate my face-down! Link Ration!"
"Did you forget?" Bohman asked. "Hydradrive Accelerator makes Trident Lord unaffected to your traps."
"This trap isn't for Trident Lord!" Yusaku revealed.
"Then why'd he play it?" Mason asked.
Lance scanned the trap before he shows it in a holographic form for the group to see.
Link Ration

During damage calculation, if your Link Monster battles an opponent's Link Monster, and the combined Link Ratings of those 2 Link Monsters is 5 or more: Gain 1000 LP, also, if your Link Monster is destroyed by that battle, Special Summon 1 "Ration Token" (Cyberse/EARTH/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0) in Defense Position at the end of the Damage Step.
"That'll help at least." Takeru noted.

"Ace?" Aqua asked seeing him like that.
Ace just smiled. "I love cats."
"Now appear the circuit that leads to the future!" Yusaku called as the circuit appeared, "The Summoning Conditions is one Normal Monster! I set Ration Token in the Link Marker!"

You can Tribute 1 monster this card points to; draw 1 card, then place 1 card from your hand on the bottom of your Deck. You can only use this effect of "Link Disciple" once per turn.
"He just keeps going." Takeru noted.
"And now appear the forth, and final time the circuit that leads to the future!" Yusaku called.
The circuit appeared again.
"Wow." Mason whispered.
"The summoning conditions are two Cyberse Monsters!" Yusaku called. "I use Cathy Eve L2, and Flame Administrator in the Link Markers!"
The two flew up entering the bottom, and bottom-right arrows.
"Link Summon! Appear Link 2! Clock Spartoi!" Yusaku called as Clock Spartoi appeared ready.
Clock Spartoi
Dark Type
Link Rating 2
Cyberse/Link
ATK: 800
Link Arrow: Bottom-Right, Bottom
2 Cyberse monsters
If this card is Link Summoned: You can add 1 "Cynet Fusion" from your Deck to your hand. If a monster is Special Summoned to your zone this card points to (except during the Damage Step): You can target 1 Level 4 or lower Cyberse monster in your GY; Special Summon it, but negate its effects, also you cannot Special Summon monsters from your Extra Deck for the rest of this turn, except Fusion Monsters. You can only use each Effect of "Clock Spartoi" once per turn.
Ace pouted. "Why did he do that?"
"Ace?" Lance asked confused.
He blinked before blushing. "I really love cats."
"And now as Clock Spartoi is Link Summoned I can add Cynet Fusion to my hand!" Yusaku called showing the card. "And now I activate Linkuriboh's ability in my graveyard! By tributing Protron I can summon it!"
Protron vanished as Linkuriboh appeared.
"And now Clock Spartoi's ability! Since a monster is summoned to where it points too I can summon a level 4 or lower Cyberse from my graveyard but I can't summon anything else other then Fusion Monsters this turn! I pick Clock Wyvern!" Yusaku called as Clock Wyvern appeared roaring.
Clock Wyvern
Wind Type
Level 4
Cyberse
ATK: 1800
DEF: 1000
If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can halve this card's ATK, and if you do, Special Summon 1 "Clock Token" (Cyberse/WIND/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0). You can only use this effect of "Clock Wyvern" once per turn.
"Cyberse Clock Dragon." Mason recalled.
Yusaku called, "I'll finish you with this! Cynet Fusion! I fuse Clock Wyvern, Link Disciple and Clock Spartoi!"
Cynet Fusion
Normal Spell Card
Fusion Summon 1 Cyberse Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters from your hand or field as Fusion Material. If you control no monsters in the Extra Monster Zone, you can also banish 1 Cyberse Link Monster from your GY as Fusion Material.
At that the three monsters fused together.
"The strong ones gather before its grand wings! Become a new legend! Fusion Summon! Come out! Cyberse Clock Dragon!" Yusaku chanted.
At that Clock Dragon appeared roaring in place.
Cyberse Clock Dragon
Dark Type
Level 7
Cyberse/Fusion
ATK: 2500
DEF: 2000
"Clock Wyvern" + 1+ Link Monsters
When this card is Fusion Summoned: You can send cards from the top of your Deck to the GY, equal to the combined Link Ratings of this card's materials. Until the end of the next turn, other monsters you control cannot attack, also this card gains 1000 ATK for each card sent to the GY by this effect. If you control a Link Monster, monsters your opponent controls cannot target monsters you control for attacks, except this one, also your opponent cannot target monsters you control with card effects, except this one. If this Fusion Summoned card is sent to the GY by an opponent's card effect: You can add 1 Spell from your Deck to your hand.
"Well that's different." Takeru mentioned.
"When Clock Dragon is Fusion Summoned I can send the top card of my Deck to the graveyard equal to the combined Link Rating of the monsters used to summon it, and it gains 1000 attack points each. I send the top three!" Yusaku called.
He discarded three cards as Clock Dragon powered up. (ATK: 2500 + (1000 * 3) = 5500)
"Not bad but it's over!" Bohman called. "I activate Hydradrive Cycle's effect! By paying 400 points I can summon a Hydradrive Token to your field! I summon a Fire Token!" (Bohman: 0250)
At that the token appeared on Yusaku's field.
"A token now?" Takeru questioned.
"And now I activate Trident Lord's ability! I can target 1 monster on your field, and make all of your monster's the same attribute as that monster's!" Bohman called.
Mason gasped, "If that works then due to Trident Lord's other ability Clock Dragon's ability will be negated!"
Yusaku closed his eyes before saying, "Clock Dragon's ability!"
"What's he doing?" Takeru asked.
"Since I have a Link Monster on my field you are not allowed to target any of my monsters for attacks, or effects except Clock Dragon!" Yusaku revealed that made Bohman's eyes widen in shock.
"That means since Clock Dragon is a dark monster, Bohman can't negate it's ability." Aqua realized.
"And with that it's over! Clock Dragon attack Trident Lord! Pulse Pressure!" Yusaku called as Clock Dragon roared firing a blast at Trident Hydradrive Lord who was vaporized by the blast as Bohman cried out.
Yusaku: 0100
Bohman: 0000
Yusaku wins the duel!
"Mr. Yu... Playmaker!" Ace cried running up to him.
Yusaku turned to him.
Ace looked really scared. "Your life points."
Yusaku, and Ai looked.
(Yusaku: 0100)
Yusaku looked on before saying, "...Then I shouldn't be in anymore duels while we're here."
Ace nodded before looking at his life points nervously. '6000, but if I mess up...'
Mason patted his back assuringly before widening his eyes, "Hey wait a minute... I got an idea."
"An idea?" Ace asked.
"Yeah. What if I play a healing card outside of a Duel to Yusaku?" Mason smiled. "This is a game created by Kaiba so maybe the card I play can heal him."
"That... might work." Takeru nodded.
Mason searched before he said, "I play Rain of Mercy."
The spell rained down on the four of them.
(Mason: 3000)
(Takeru: 5000)
(Ace: 7000)
(Yusaku: 1100)
"It worked." Mason grinned.
"Yeah, it did." Takeru smiled.
Aqua said to Ace, "Okay Ace... We should keep going."
Ace just nodded in agreement.
"Wait Bohman!" Mason realized.
They turned only to notice Bohman was gone.
"Where did he go?" Lance asked surprised.
"It was most likely Lightning." Yusaku stated.
"Well if that was how tough the third generation of AI he created I don't want to wait for the next." Ace said nervously.
"Hopefully there isn't a fourth." Mason agreed.
They nodded as they walked off.
Meanwhile outside...
"Still nothing, we're stuck until they figure out something from the inside." Mokuba frowned.
That was before Ray noticed something she wasn't expecting. Sandy was sleeping beside Ace's pod leaning on it from the left.
"Huh, Ray?" Zarc asked. "Is everything ok?"
Ray smiled before she pointed to what she's seeing. Zarc looked before frowning. "Is it right though?"
"Zarc?" Yuki asked hearing that.
"I know she's a nice girl and apparently Amy wants her to be there for Ace but... is it really right for us to assume things will work out that way?" Zarc asked. "Ace is a caring boy who lost one of his only friends in the world and none of us are giving him any time to get over her passing. Just throwing Sandy at him, it's not fair to him or her."
"We know." Rin answered. "None of us are sure, and it seemed like we don't know what to make. We should ask Ace when he, and the others are done."
Zarc nodded before looking at the pods. 'Ace, I'm so sorry.'
Just then a beeping is heard from the screen.
"Huh?" Rin asked in shock as they turned to look.
Then what appeared was the yellow Ignis who gave Bohman the task.
"You should stop now Kaiba." the Ignis told Kaiba with narrowed eyes. "You alone can't break through the control I have with your company."
Kaiba glared at the Ignis at that.
"Wait, what do you want? Why did you take over his game and kill your own ally?" Lulu asked.
"I didn't kill Earth, he willingly gave up his own life. I would never harm one of my own kind, and I needed a way to reach the others, and four of them did arrive." the Ignis stated. "This is much more important than you humans realize."
"More important?" Gale asked him. "Do you know that killing Bonnie, and Mason's grandma was a terrible thing to do? Or how bout trying to destroy the Partners of the Ignises? Or maybe that you hacked, and sabotage the Kaibacorp Mainframe, Lightning?"
"The fate of every living creature on this planet hangs in balance." Lightning told her. "It's vital that the proper host of the Ignis' strength be located and all seven of us willingly give our strength to that individual. Every life lost to achieve that is worth the price."
"What individual?" Ryoken asked him.
"Ryoken Kogami." Lightning stated seeing him. "As of now I have no idea. Though if I fail the one known as Sardon will seem insignificant in comparison to what's coming."
What he said shocked everyone.
"You know Sardon!?" Dawn asked shocked.
"I do." Lightning answered. "Or to be more accurate, your father did Ryoken... however he only implanted the knowledge within me. The other Ignis are ignorant of his existence. I was the prototype for the Ignis, a failure but one that was never erased and as luck would have it I was able to evolve to this form you see here, one of seven Ignis born from that fateful event."
"Whatever Sardon is planning we will take him down again!" Lilly called to him.
"Then our goals align, the Ignis must all be sacrificed myself included and our strength granted to the one who can control it. It's the only option." Lightning stated as the screen shut off.
Kaiba glared at them, "Is there something I do not get?"
"Long story." Zarc answered.
Alex noticed that Jin had been frozen staring at the screen with pure fright in his eyes. She walked over. "Are you ok?"
Jin turned over, and answered "Light... Ignis..."
"It's ok, we won't let anything bad happen." Alex promised.
Bonnie asked Ryoken, "Ryoken... Does your dad know Sardon?"
"I don't know how he could. Though I suppose it is possible." Ryoken admitted. "He would have been alive when those events took place all those years ago."
"Well now that we know that we should figure out more about what happened." Haru told him.
"Agreed." Ryoken nodded.
Just then the door opened as it shows of Mir, and Jarrod walking in.
"We heard that something bad is happening here." Mir told them.
"Yes." Declan nodded before explaining the situation.
The two looked shocked at this.
"Um, can I ask you something Mir?" Tate asked suddenly.
Mir turned to him. He paused before shaking his head. "Actually never mind, I'm just glad you and Jarrod are both here and ok."
Mir nodded as she said, "Father is back with some more evil beings..."
"Are you going to be ok?" Dawn asked her.
Mir nodded. Dawn nodded hearing that.
bopdog111: Well that takes care of the Hydradrive User known as Bohman.
Ulrich362: For now at least.
bopdog111: And we know why Lightning is doing this.
Ulrich362: True, turns out he isn't quite as evil as we thought.
bopdog111: What will happen next?
Ulrich362: I see two options, the first being the eight inside the game reach Lightning. The second and far less positive outcome... is that some of them don't make it that far.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
Ulrich362: See you in the next chapter.
