I do not own Yu-Gi-Oh or any of its characters.

In all honesty, I had never seen the card Metalsilver Armor before in my life. I did, however, recognize the image on the card - the armor and weapons of Dark Blade, a normal monster with 1800 attack points and 1500 defense. I had a few copies of him in my collection, but only because they were in some of the packs that I opened, and I'd never tried having him in my deck. He wasn't a captain of some sort, so he couldn't be me anyway, but that doesn't stop a hint from being a hint, I must be a warrior.

"How am I supposed to do this, exactly?" I wondered out loud.

The woman in the other room, a young journalist by the name of Carly, was growing impatient. "You said that you could help me!" she said. "But you haven't said a word since then!"

"My apologies, but my powers aren't quite like those of a psychic duelist. I don't even know how to use them." I sighed.

"Try doing what all the others do, activate the card on a duel disk." she suggested.

"I don't have a disk," I replied, somewhat more terse than I should have been.

"Oh yeah, I didn't notice that." she shyly withdrew from the window separating us.

"But activating it is still a good idea." I raised the card high above my head, silently cursing myself for looking so stupid but willing to try anything. "I activate Metalsilver Armor!" I yelled. The room turned black with explosive force, shattering the window between Carly and myself, and I felt heavier, much heavier. I turned to look at Carly through the visor of the helmet that the spell so kindly threw onto my head; her jaw had dropped.

"You - you're - what on Earth are you?" she asked, fixing the glasses that the explosions had made askew.

"I'm a monster, the good kind," I said. Then I looked at one of the shards of glass on the floor and could see myself clearly. I was definitely wearing Dark Blade's armor, and the swords were sheathed on either side of my waist. My Arcadia Movement uniform was gone, replaced by a much more archaic shirt under the cuirass and armored leggings. I stepped into Carly's room and drew one of the swords.

She screamed, "Please don't hurt me! I'll do whatever you want!" as she was cowering in the corner.

"What I want is to get you out of here. I'm about to wreak some serious havoc on all of Arcadia. They have answers to questions that I have." I sighed.

Her eyes twinkled slightly. "That sounds like a story to me, worthy of being published, perhaps?"

I ignored her and pointed the sword towards the door. "Let's see what this can do." I raised my arm and then brought the blade down on the door's center, rending it asunder. Splinters were thrown everywhere, but the ones going towards Carly and I were stopped by some strange force field.

I wonder just how much this armor protects from… I thought. Carly was still in the corner, so I extended my hand to her, pulling her to her feet.

We stepped outside the door and into the wreckage and I could already tell that something was off about the place. The whole or the building just felt more ominous than before, and it felt like there was a panic going on based on the people that I could see running around in the adjacent hallways, not to mention the fact that none of them had seemed to notice the explosions coming from our two rooms. Carly gave me her thanks and then ran off. Her safety wasn't my primary concern, given that she decided to run towards the danger rather than away from it, and I wasn't in the mood to join the fight while I was without a deck and literally wearing lethal weapons.

There has to be some way to make this effect turn off. I guess I could try the simple answer and sheath the sword while thinking that it's gone. I thought. I tried that method, and the armor vanished, along with the swords, leaving me back in my Arcadia uniform and without a way to defend myself. I felt something in my pocket, so I reached to figure out what it was. When I felt it was a card I didn't bother to see which one, so I just took it out of the pocket and put it into the empty deck box on my belt.

"Now then," I say to myself. "I wonder where Luna was taken…"

Left, Captain. I heard Zaloog in my mind. Not bothering to care that now I have extra voices in my head, I followed Zaloog's instructions until I find myself outside of an unmarked room. After checking to make sure that no one is watching, I activated Metalsilver Armor again, leaving scorch marks on the ground. I bash down the door by ramming myself against it, protected by the armor and not caring to potentially throw splinters at my charge, and the look on Luna's face was priceless.

"You're actually here! I didn't know that you would be so close!" she jumps off of her bed and wraps her arms around my neck.

"It's my job to protect you until I know what's going on," I say, but then I jump, hearing a familiar voice in the hallway.

"Luna!" yells Yusei, obviously worried about the bashed in the door. I heard him running closer and quickly deactivated the spell, barely in time for him to run into the doorway, breathing heavily.

When he saw her he calmed down visibly, saying, "So you're alright. Good. Akiza is fighting an Earthbound Immortal upstairs and we have to get everyone out of here quickly. Where's Leo?"

"Who's Leo?" I ask. Suddenly Yusei notices me as well.

"Wil!" He immediately grabbed me into a bear hug. "We were worried about you, bro! Is this where you've been the entire time?"

"What? What entire time? How do you know Luna, who's Leo? And by Obelisk tell me that Anna is ok!"

"No time to explain, I'll go help Akiza and you and Luna need to find Leo and get him to safety - he isn't a signer or a psychic." Yusei started to bolt out of the room before he spun around in the doorway, grabbing a pouch on his belt. He took out a deck and handed it to me.

"I think that you'll recognize this. Anna grabbed it when I told her that I'd seen you and asked me to give it you given the chance. Your disk is being kept in a relatively safe location. I'll meet up with you at Luna's penthouse, where I'll be able to explain everything." I took the deck that he was offering me and felt chills all over my body.

"Hey! It's the Captain in the flesh!" I heard Zaloog in my head.

I smiled. Says the Duel Spirit.

"Says the Duel Spirit," Zaloog repeated mockingly. Yusei was already gone, but Luna was tugging my Arcadia Uniform.

"Leo is my twin brother, and he's over this way, I don't know why, but I think that Ancient Fairy Dragon is helping me to sense his presence," she said, an obviously panicked look on her face. I put my deck into the same deck box as Metalsilver Armor and followed her lead.

We ran down a flight of stairs and through a couple of empty hallways until we were in front of another holding room. Luna pounded on the door. "Leo! Are you in there?"

I heard a muffled voice yell back. "Yeah, but I don't feel too good." Luna sighed with relief before both she and I were shocked by a menacing cackle. I turned and saw Sayer, though his eyes were slightly crazed, and he was tailed by both Liquid and Okita, both of whom looked worse for wear, and like they were moving without thinking.

"Oh good! At least I get to deal with three pests. The doors to the Spirit world may be closed to me for now, but I have no doubt that another opportunity will come again!" both he and I reached for our deck boxes. Sayer looked worried. "So now you finally have psychic powers? I was wondering how you got out, I guess that all that brainwashing was enough to trigger your abilities! Show me what you've g-" suddenly a call came in through the intercom, an alert that someone had broken into Sayer's office.

"RRGH! You and I will face each other, Jernigan, but later, after I deal with a slightly more prominent pest. For now, you have my permission to deal with two of my minions: Okita and Liquid, attack!" Sayer turned around with a flourish as my former roommates activated their duel disks and drew five cards each. Luna seemed terrified but she got out a duel disk from somewhere, smaller and pinker than the standard, and activated it.

"I'm sorry about this, Luna, but may I share your duel disk?" I asked, hesitantly.

"What? Oh! Yes, of course!" she said, drawing five cards.

"Good, because I'm going first," I said, pulling out my deck and shuffling it. I threw it back into the box before I realized that I'd accidentally included Metalsilver Armor in the deck.

Turn 1: Wilhelm

W-L: 8000

O-L: 8000

I drew six cards before handing Luna a card to put onto her disk. "I summon Vengeful Shinobi and set a face down. Your move." The dark ninja entered the battlefield and readied a kunai.

Vengeful Shinobi: 400/800

Turn 2: Okita

Okita drew a card and activated a field spell. "I activate Array of Revealing Light, and the type of monster that I choose is Aqua. That means that when an Aqua type monster is summoned in any way it cannot attack that turn."

"Interesting strategy, but I exclusively use warriors and dragons," I replied, then I saw a slightly more concerned look on Luna's face. "You'll be fine," I told her. "If you do have any aqua monsters, don't worry about their inefficiency."

Okita continued, "Next I'll summon Power Injector, and I'll use his ability to sacrifice 600 life points so that he can gain 500 attack points, with which he'll attack and destroy your Shinobi."

Power Injector: 1300 1800/1400

A fat man in a blue suit and tanks full of red liquid for arms rose onto the battlefield, then started to glow with a red energy before unleashing a stream of that liquid into Vengeful Shinobi, melting him.

"But since you have selected my Vengeful Shinobi as an attack target, I get to draw a card," I said. My triumphant enthusiasm died down halfway through the sentence when I'd realized that our opponents just didn't care.

O-L: 7400

W-L: 6600

"Your move," he said.

Turn 3: Luna

Luna drew a card and set a monster and another spell or trap. "Your move," she said.

Turn 4: Liquid

Liquid drew a card and put down a spell card. Before he got the opportunity to describe it, however, Luna had activated my trap, Dark Bribe. Liquid did not react and merely drew a card before summoning a second Power Injector. He then used both power injectors to increase the attack points of his monsters to 2300 each at the cost of 1200 life points. He tried to attack with them but was stopped by Luna's Mirror Force, clearing the opposing the side of the field. Liquid then set a face down and motioned for me to go.

O-L: 5400

W-L: 6600

Turn 5: Wilhelm

I drew another card and said, "I summon Junk Synchron, and with his effect, I raise Vengeful Shinobi from my graveyard!" The man made of old car parts emerged onto the field and pulled a cord, starting his engine and bringing back Vengeful Shinobi. "I'll also flip summon Luna's Spirit of the breeze, but don't get too attached to any of them, as they are all being used for the synchro summon of my Colossal Fighter!"

Colossal Fighter: 2800/1000

"And as Colossal Fighter is on the battlefield, he gains 100 attack points for each warrior monster in my graveyard, bringing him up to 3000 attack points! He'll use those points to cream your faces and wake you both up!"

The monstrous white muscled figure pulled back his arm before unleashing the force of his punch into Liquid's face with a massive explosion of dust.

O-L: 4600

W-L: 6600

When the dust cleared I could see that I was wrong. Liquid had activated Emergency Teleport, bringing out a Krebons from his deck and using its ability to block Colossal Fighter's Attack for only 800 points of damage. Grunting, I handed Luna three more cards. "I activate Burden of the Mighty, reducing the attack points of your monsters by 100 times their level. I also set two face downs. Your move."

Turn 6: Okita

Okita wordlessly drew a card and set a monster onto the field. Then he motioned to end his turn, having realized that due to the effect of Emergency Teleport Krebons had been removed from play.

Turn 7: Luna

Luna drew a card but did nothing before commanding Colossal Fighter to attack. A Destructotron burst into shards. Then she ended her turn.

Turn 8: Liquid

Liquid drew another card, then activated Reload, giving himself a new hand. Then he activated Psychic Path, paying 800 life points to add Krebons back to his hand. He then set another monster and another face down before ending his turn. Right as he was ending his turn, however, Luna activated Call of the Haunted, one of my set cards, so that Junk Synchron could be brought back from the graveyard.

O-L: 3800

W-L: 6600

Turn 9: Wilhelm

I drew another card and summoned Chick the Yellow before I said, "I now synchro summon my Junk Synchron and my Chick the Yellow to summon Goyo Guardian!"

Goyo Guardian: 2800/2000

Colossal Fighter: 3100/1000

"Now my Goyo Guardian will attack your set monster!" and astronaut in a red and black suit was shortly visible before being shattered. Those shards were soon reassembled on my side of the field due to Goyo Guardian's effect. "Colossal Fighter, Attack!" This time I could see his punch connect with Liquid.

O-L: 0700

W-L: 6600

"Uou move." I smirked.

Turn 10: Okita

Okita drew a card and activated Psychic Overload, returning three psychic monsters from his graveyard to his deck and then drawing two cards. He set a face down and a monster before ending his turn.

Turn 11: Luna

Luna drew a card and didn't hesitate to order Goyo Guardian to attack, shattering another monster, and immediately following it up with an attack from Colossal Fighter, ending their life points.

O-L: 0000

W-L: 6600

Both Okita and Liquid were knocked out by the shock of it, presumably by the breaking of Sayer's Hold over them. Luna quickly got to unlocking Leo's door and I was surprised to see another mint-haired kid, this one wearing blue and much more obviously a guy than a girl.

Leo looked at me and said, "Woah! Who are you?"

"No time to explain, we need to get out of here, and quickly. Help me drag these guys somewhere safe." Leo and Luna worked together to pick up Liquid and I picked up Okita. We pulled them all the way outside, getting all four of them to safety.

The moment that we got outside, Luna stopped. "Wilhelm!" She said. "I sense danger is getting close to Yusei and Akiza. Can you go help them?"

I immediately put down Okita and ran back inside. I took a quick look around and saw which floors the duels were on, then I rushed into the elevator and punched in the floor number for the nearest duel.

As I got out of the elevator, I felt a presence.

"I thought that I had you under wraps! I don't know how you escaped, but you can be certain it'll be the last time!" Sayer yelled at me, putting on his duel disk.

"Do you seriously think that is the best way to fight me?" I asked, pulling Metalsilver Armor out of my deck box.

"There is no doubt in my mind that I can subdue you, if not with my skills then with the pain that I can inflict to you." he said with an odd sort of glee.

"How unfortunate, because now I have Metalsilver Armor!" I activated the card and the force of my sudden transformation threw him to the ground and lit a fire on the carpet. I drew a sword and held it to his throat.

"I don't have time to deal with you right now. So leave me be." I said. I felt a darkness right behind me, however, and turned around to see the reporter that I'd rescued earlier, but in a much more interesting outfit: orange lines everywhere, a long cape, no glasses, long legs and an exposed midriff. The look on her face terrified me.

"You know," she said. "Our organization has a place for people of your skills."

"I'll get back to you on that job offer. Right now I have a few friends to save." I replied.

"No matter, then. I'll be back to speak with you after I convert Jack. For now, if you don't mind, I'd like to have some personal vengeance against this man."

"He's all yours, as far as I'm concerned. He took two years from me that I still don't know what happened in. Should I ever see you again, I hope that it will be under circumstances where this man is no more." I shrugged, sheathed the sword, and ran off towards the nearest duel that I could see.

I saw the walls crumble and Yusei was trying to convince Akiza that they needed to go, that the danger was too great. I saw a woman in a similar outfit to the one on the reporter, but no exposed midriff and green instead of orange. She was cackling a strange, twisted, and evil laugh and I could see that Akiza was in a really tight spot in their duel. I could only see one way to get her to stand down, however, as her pride was too great. Force was what was necessary. Still in my armor, I rushed the other woman and forced her to the ground, then I drew my sword and smashed her duel disk with the pommel. She wasn't exactly happy about that.

"You have prevented me from my vengeance! I don't care what sort of freak you are but I will end you!" she screamed. A massive reptilian hand started to reach around me and picked me up. I could see that it belonged to a massive monster that was obviously the one that was doing all of the damage to the building.

"Slifer!" I yelled. Then I turned to Yusei and Akiza, both of whom were still in shock from my sudden appearance and the look of my appearance.

"Run, you fools!" I yelled. While Akiza was stammering Yusei swept her off her feet and carried her to the elevator, getting out of the building.

As for me, I was probably doomed. The hand was pulling me closer to the gaping mouth of the monster and I could see nothing inside of it, as though it were an endless void that only consumed. I wouldn't be able to kill it, probably only make it drop me, but it would be worth a shot, so I used my sword to hack at the arm that held me. Surprisingly, it cut straight through and the hand released its grip on me as it fell to the street below. Unfortunately, I was also falling.

"At least I don't have to worry about sharpening them." I joked to myself as I drew my other sword and plunged both into the side of the building.

By the way, should you ever think of doing what I just did, it is a terrible idea. Skyscrapers are built using steel beams, and even my swords have a tough time going through them. The moment that gravity pulled me into a steel beam with the swords, the sudden jolt was enough to dislocate both of my arms and force me to release my grip. I still had ten stories or so to fall. After about 2 seconds, I hit the ground. My crumpled body lay amidst the rubble and the sparkling shards of my broken armor.

One may wonder where Goyo Guardian Came From. Truthfully, it was stolen from Sector Security long before the formation of the Militia.
