Vyser D: Happy birthday to me! Enjoy!
Damn…it's been at least a few months since I was last here…and I had that brat with me with his damn law terms.
Last year, I had learned immediately from my head honcho…you know him as Kurro Legendz…three of my former allies escaped just so they could get away from my boss while me, my boss and our third member escaped from our original boss…
That was confusing…back to what I was saying…I actually liked this place, I wonder if Kurro would let me have this place when his conquest is done with…
Damn it! I did it again didn't I? Dang it!
Okay…this time for sure! I'll get to what I was saying this time!
…
…Huh?
What do you mean my times up? Other characters got a lot more than this!
Triple damn it!
I want to crush this pathetic duelist now! I don't care if he is a kid!

Chapter 19
Enforcer's Rule
/--/-//--/-/-/-//-
Walking through the halls, Ashton shook his head with his hands in his pockets…he had just witnessed an excellent duel (a little one sided if you asked him) that had a short, height challenged Obelisk blue student…
…Against the Red student…Garu Honzou…the one who had showed him around this beautiful island, known as Duel Academy. Ashton replayed the last move in his mind over and over again…
But what he really found interesting, was the fact that the short duelist was now going to train Garu in the art of dueling…although, looking at the two, someone would think that the shorty was actually trying to kill the ninja duelist by crushing a rib or two.
"Ah…reminds me of my days of training…" Ashton sighed in enjoyment with a great smile plastered on his face that scared any of the students that happened to be in the hall as he passed him.
"…speaking of…I should continue my training right now!"
If the students weren't scared before…they were now petrified as Ashton quickly jumped forward, began balance on his hands and then started to walk on his hands as if it was nothing to him. "Ah, the memories…"
With an average walking speed, Ashton immediately walked through the dispersing crowd of students who didn't know how to react with the famous pro league duelist who was walking on his hands.
Quite a strange sight really…
'I wonder…maybe if I should probably get a drop on the training and watch those two for a while…just to see what the little guy has in stored for training.' That thought just echoed through Ashton's head as he picked up speed walking on his hands, all the while keeping his hair completely the same and un-wavering.
Meanwhile, still in the classroom while letting Garu catch his breath and color back to his face, Cain had managed to snap Garu's deck from his duel disk and leafed through the cards. 'Hmm…needs strategy, broken, on the forbidden list…so far, it looks like all this guy relies on nothing more than pure luck!'
"Dang…how do you weigh that much?" Garu panted clutching his chest where Cain had his foot on it. "With your short height, you'd think that you'd weigh a lot less…"
WHAM!
"OW!" Garu yelped with a tear in his right eye and while rubbing the new large goose egg that was added to his head. "What's your arm made of? Steel?"
Cain waved his right hand slightly, shrugging off the comment, even though Garu was pretty close to his assumption, and Cain lifted up Garu's deck. "Shut up, monkey…"
"Yeah…why do you keep calling me that?" Garu asked standing up to prove the difference in height between him and Cain.
"Well…I could call you other things," Cain replied crossing his arms over his chest with a smirk on his face. "But actually, you just remind me of a manga character who was actually based off a monkey… quite the dunce, didn't think things through, and didn't know when to shut up either."
"…nice," Garu sighed rubbing his bruise slightly, that's when he eyed the deck of cards in Cain's hands. "…hey…is that…"
"Yep…your deck is in my hand," Cain answered before immediately pocketing the deck of cards into his overcoat pocket. "And I'll be taking it with me…"
"Now just hold on a second!" Garu shouted stomping in front of Cain and grabbing the shorty Obelisk Blue student by the collar (he tried lifting him, but Cain was too heavy once more). "Now why in the world are you taking my deck?!?!"
Cain just looked at Garu's hand at his collar and narrowed his eyes at Garu…
//-/--///-//-//-//
"Zaku, Tao," Kurro started walking from behind his desk and started walking towards the door with his two duelist comrades following him. "It's time…"
"Oh! Does that mean that we're getting this over with?!?" Tao asked excited as the three entered into the hallway.
"Soon…very soon…" Kurro answered snapping his cane on the ground in perfect synchronization with his footsteps, making the echo flow through out the hallway. "…Now that I think about it…where is Ashton? I wanted him to meet our two guests…"
"The last I saw him, he was walking around the halls on his hands," Zaku answered combing some of the hair out of his eyes. "Not to mean anything disrespectful sir…but why do we need these two new members? At least I and Tao, now that he has been equipped with his new deck, am now more than a match for any of the challenges we'll need face…"
"We need all the bases covered," Kurro answered turning his head towards the passing windows watching the sky become slightly cloudy. "You know how these things work for the academies…since word got out, we can't use Ashton in our conquest of the academies…"
"I may even have to duel a few times…"
"Now that I think about we never saw Legendz-Sensei duel before have we?" Tao whispered to Zaku who shrugged his shoulders in reply.
Not hearing what Tao whispered to Zaku, Kurro just continued walking through the hallways while rubbing his chin in deep thought. "Now my only problem now is which academy should I try for next? The Atlantic? Nah, too obvious…Edo Central? Nope, the headmaster is too weird…or how about the…"
"Sensei…" Zaku interrupted getting Kurro to stop right in his tracks. "You mentioned earlier that Ashton would be unable to help in your conquest…how is that?"
"Heh…We only managed to get Daigo to agree to our duel here because he thought that Hikari Satoshi would win…" Kurro answered rolling his eyes at the last minutes of the duel and Ashton show up at the last minute to said duel. "However, other academies don't have the same advantage…so as you can imagine, if they face the best of the best then they won't accept the terms.
"This is of course if we're able to acquire the magic number in business…fifty one percent. Then with a simple wager involving a duel with one of you, then we can soon get all of my goals completed…and thus…your goals will also be completed…"
"Awesome Sensei!" Tao announced waving his arms in the air.
"Is there any other reason Ashton won't be used?" Zaku questioned a little more, he wasn't planning on dropping this subject without a clear answer.
And who could blame him? Ashton, Tao and Zaku, although weren't related by blood, did consider each other brothers due to the fact that all three of them had to rely on each other when they were young.
"…To be truthful…" Kurro started before continuing through the halls with Zaku and Tao slowly following him. "I think that he'll take over this island…he deserves it for all his hard work, so he can make this island into a personal paradise, a dojo, or whatever he so desires."
Soon, Kurro and the two members of Team Legendz entered the nearby elevator that was in the hall. As soon as the elevator doors closed, a small thin sheet of cloth that was the same color as the wall peeled off to show Takashi reading his book. "Hmm…the plot thickens…nice…"
Then with a flip of the page in his book, Takashi chuckled slightly turning towards the elevator. "Oh…I suppose I should follow those three." Then pocketing his book and with a deep sigh, Takashi slowly headed towards the nearest window. "I suppose I'll have to take the faster way though…"
Opening the window, Takashi immediately leapt through the open window without a care in the world. At the edge of the window was nothing more than a small hook connected to a thing yet strong wire that Takashi held onto with all his might.

There Cain was sitting at his desk in his room, many cards (a lot of them Garu's) were scattered over the top of them as he rubbed his chin with his right hand's glove. At the back of his chair was none other than his blue overcoat, take off so he could survive the very temperature of the room he was sitting in.
Slowly sorting the monster, spell, and trap cards (there were even a few fusion monsters…even though in order to use them, Garu lacked the four essential cards to use them) in separate piles, Cain looked at all of the piles. "Hmm…let's see...from what I can gather, the monkey seemed to rely on brute force and cheap tricks to protect himself.
"Well, if he likes that strategy…then I should at least make it so he can actually use a decent trick that can never be predicted…
"And these monsters…I know that 'these' ninjas can do a much better job than what he's got in his deck so far…why am I doing this anyway?"
Cain leaned back in his chair with his feet on top of the desk and placing his hands behind his head and closing his eyes.
In Cain's mind, a previous conversation with a familiar white haired girl entered Cain's mind. "Wait…you want me to do what now Ami?"
"I want you to help Garu get better in his dueling, and I know you're the only one who can really help him."
"…What makes you think I would help you? Why not ask Mustang? Or why not help him yourself?"
"Oh, come on brother. If you were able to duel so excellently last year, I think that you could help him become almost as good as you!"
"Look, I don't like that little blue haired freak, and I don't like how he thinks he's the best of the best!"
"Then how about you duel him? That way you could deflate his ego a little bit…"
"…fine…however…I don't want anyone to know that we had this talk! Or that I'm helping the little blue haired freak!"
"Oh yeah…" Cain muttered sitting straight forward again to look at the desk. "…I guess that explains that…"
/-//--/-//-///-/--//-/
"Okay…so you mind telling me how you got all these bruises on your head Garu?" Yae asked applying a few more bandages to the back of Garu's head with a loud sigh.
"Look, I don't like talking about it," Garu moaned with a few tears dripping from his eyes, both from the strike on his pride and from the fact that Yae had basically slapped the bandages on the back of his head. "…Damn shorty…"
"…Are you talking about that Cain guy?" Yae asked turning away from Garu to put away the first aid kit. "Cause if you ask me, he doesn't seem like that bad of a guy…"
"You kidding me?!?" Garu shouted jumping from his seat to stare at the back of Yae's head. "That bean sprout is a rude, ballistic, short bomb with legs ready to blow up if you tick the guy off in the wrong way!"
"Well, if he's a bomb, then you must be a match to him," Yae retorted turning around to place her hands on her hips and shoot Garu a sour look. "You have to face it Garu, to a lot of people you just rube them the wrong way with your attitude and thinking that you're superior…"
"That's not true!" Garu shouted throwing his arms up in the air. "And I'm willing to bet that Zeff agrees with me! Right Zeff!"
Craning his head to the lower bunk, hoping to see Zeff and Rox agreeing with him, Garu was only met with an empty bunk bed with a messed up comforter. "Huh? Where'd Zeff go?"
"Ah, he said he had some business with some friends," Yae explained wagging her finger in front of Garu. "Now then, back to the subject at hand, sometimes you need to shut up!"
"This coming from the girl who beats people up," Garu muttered to the side…unknowing that Yae heard that comment very well.
Reeling her first back, Yae took good aim at Garu's face and then…
…speaking of Zeff and Rox…
…In front of a large darkened cave in the edge of the forest, Zeff and Rox leaned next to entrance, trying anything to keep the boredom at bay. "Okay…I spy, with my little eye…"
"Arf!"
"Damn! How'd you know I was going to say rock?" Zeff complained looking at the happy wolf cub on his shoulder.
"Arf, woof, bark, bark…"
"Now I get it," Zeff stated connecting the dots with his fingers in the air. "Since I choose tree and bush the other time, it would only be common sense that I'd choose rock. Thanks for the logic lesson Rox!"
"Bark! Woof!"
"No I'm not going to pay you for teaching me something," Zeff retorted turning his head to meet with a snarling Rox on his shoulder, making the sweatdrop on the back of Zeff's head roll down slowly. "…Well, if you put it that way, I suppose I could get you a pig ear when we get back…"
"Man, you two just can't stop complaining with each other now can ya?"
Zeff and Rox smiled brightly as Vergil and Taylor emerged from the woods, each with a duel disk on their arms. Jumping in front of them, Zeff clapped his hands in joy while Rox wagged his tail in the same manner. "About time you guys showed up! So…why are we out here anyway?"
"You should know that reason better than anyone!" Taylor scolded taking Rox off of Zeff's shoulders and holding him close to her heart. "You're the one who discovered that Kurro and two of Team Legendz's members heading into this cave."
"Oh right," Zeff chuckled rubbing the back of his head in embarrassment.
"…before we go in," Vergil stated turning the other side of the cave entrance and narrowed his eyes. "You can come on out now."
Another rock colored sheet peeled off the wall, allowing Takashi to be seen reading the same book he had earlier with a goofy grin on his face. "…I see, you're extra ordinary to have spotted me…"
"Hey, it's that guy," Zeff stated pointing at Takashi, making the Genjutsu Duelist put his book away and sweat in embarrassment.
"… 'That Guy'?" Takashi asked raising an eyebrow.
"Since you're here," Vergil started heading first into the cave with Taylor and Zeff following behind him. "Perhaps you'd like to join us in our venture. We could use a man with your skills."
"And how exactly would you know of my skills?" Takashi asked walking next to Vergil into the dark cave. This was a serious question, Takashi barely knew Vergil, never meeting him except hearing about him from Garu and there was no way that Vergil would know of Takashi and his abilities.
"Don't underestimate our intelligence network," Zeff chuckled walking casually with his arms behind his head.
"Zeff! Quiet on the network!" Taylor scolded slapping Zeff's face slightly. "We can't have everyone knowing about it."
"Well we're having him come with us," Zeff retorted not noticing the fact that the rocky walls were becoming more and more finely crafted and that there were fancy lights protruding from the ceiling. "So what the hell could it hurt?"
"It's not like that!" Taylor argued with Zeff, getting support from Rox to argue with his master.
"Et too Rox? Et too?" Zeff sighed becoming eye level with Rox. "That hurts badly…"
"Quiet you two," Vergil hushed raising his hand up in front of Zeff and Taylor making them stop in their tracks to see that only a few feet in front of them was a small glass window.
Gesturing around the room, everyone could see that the group was now standing in a very high tech part of the cave that had had multiple lights and machines that seemed to regulate different things that varied for their uses. There were a few doors, but that wasn't what they were looking at…
…through the window they could see an underground pier that had a very fancy white boat that was docked at it on a lower floor. Standing at the connected platform, was none other than Kurro Legendz, along with Zaku and Tao standing behind him…starring at the person that the three were talking to…
…Takashi and Zeff couldn't help but stare either at the pretty face with a slight blush on her cheeks, a full figure with a black dress with red frills and yellow trim that complimented her slim waist, bust and thin arms, the blonde haired beauty could easily win the heart of any man. She had a pink duel disk on her left arm with a heart pendant around her neck as well. "W-w-wow…what a heartbreaker…"
"Men…" Taylor sighed getting a glare from Vergil. "Oops, s-sorry Vergil."
"No worries, just let me listen in to what they were saying…" Vergil replied leaning closer, only to find out that there wasn't even a window in front of him. "And be quiet…we can't get caught now…"
"I thank you for coming on such short notice Natalie," Kurro thanked with a slight chuckle and then slapping both Tao and Zaku in the back of their heads. "Roll your tongues up boys, don't want anyone stepping on them."
"S-Sorry," Tao muttered blushing intently.
"I don't see the big deal," Zaku growled crossing his arms over his chest.
"Its okay Mr. Legendz," Natalie giggled covering her mouth with her hand. "I'm used to getting stares from people. If anyone has to apologize, it's me for Chinto's rude behavior and running past you guys."
"Well, it's understandable," Zaku replied rubbing his chin expectantly. "He did say he did drink over twenty bottles of soda on the ride…and it was what…ten hours to get here from the main land at top speed?"
"Pretty much," Tao added rubbing the back of his head. "I can remember doing the exact same thing when we went on tour."
"I just hoped he found the bathroom okay," Kurro chuckled snapping his cane on the ground getting everyone else's attention. "But enough about that, I need to thank you once again for your help on this matter…"
"No worries, you helped me and Chinto out of the big guy's grasp," Natalie replied with a smile on her cute face. "But, do you mind explaining to me how this is going to work again?"
"I don't see why not…" Kurro chuckled placing his other hand onto his cane. "You see…while I have been buying the stock to this academy, I was slowly buying the stocks of the other academies. I had some help to get the rest of this academy's stock.
"And as a great man once said, a real game master doesn't break the rules, but rather finds ways to find loop holes in the rules. And that's what I exactly did…in order to further my goals I found a real way to get this far…
"You see, in order to further my goals, I need to be able to gain control of the five main duel academies. The Pacific Duel academy (which I got), the Atlantic, the Edo, the Indian, and the Coastal academy…once I have conquered all five of them, I can then take over the big steps…
"As for needing you four duelists…in order for an academy to have a change in establishment, there must be a duel or duels set by the to major share holders. In this case, Daigo and I wagered our shares on the duel with Ashton and Satoshi. As you can tell…I was successful in the bet…
"All we need to do is gain at least fifty percent of the other academies, I'm sure that there are fools like that little Dark World Prince with money we can use to acquire our ideals. And then…we can create our deals with the principals of the academies, all of which have the majority shares of the academies…for now…
"And once I have all the academies, I can take on the I2 corporation in the same manner and then possibly Kaiba Corp at the same time. Then I'll have control over one of the strongest industries of the entire world, the pro leagues, the underground leagues, and all dueling will be underneath my thumb!
"…and my final goal will finally be completed after that!
"…heh, hehehe…Bwa, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"
"…He's going to over do it…" Zaku sighed rubbing his forehead as Kurro's laughter got louder and louder, and was soon joined by Tao laughing with him.
All four of the duelists from different dorms (and lone wolf) looked at each other like the people down there were crazy. "…Okay…anyone else getting the feeling we should leave now?"
"I agree with his guy," Zeff added gesturing towards Takashi.
"…My name's Takashi, get it right…"
"Enough…Zeff, Taylor, we now have enough information to fight back," Vergil stated getting everyone to turn to Vergil who was now standing up straight with a determined look plastered on his face. "Our priority now is to get out of here and make contact with Daigo and the boss…"
Vergil would have continued until a loud flushing sound caught all four of the duelists' attentions. Slowing turning their heads back, one of the doors opened up to show another un-familiar face to walk from the door zipping up his pants. "Whoa! That's the last time I drink twenty bottles of soda without a bathroom within fifty miles…"
Lifting his head up, the muscular man looked up to show his broad face and to show that he was a huge muscular guy with a messy head of green hair that covered his left eye. His muscular physique was complimented with his large black vest and military cargo pants that his hands were still near the zipper. "…oh…crap…it looks like I caught some people while I was caught with my fly down."
"Any ideas?" Taylor asked turning to Takashi.
"I've got one…" Takashi stated reaching back into his pocket…then with a powerful toss, the Genjutsu Duelist threw a black orb onto the ground, making it explode in a large cloud of smoke that engulfed the entire room. "RUN LIKE HELL!"
"WHAT THE!?!" The Muscular man growled raising his arms up to cover his face from the smoke. What he didn't realize was the fact that the four students and wolf were making a run for the entrance…until he saw what appeared to be a blue overcoat tail. 'I'm not letting anyone get away from me that easily!'
A few minutes later the four students were standing outside of the cave, each of them gasping for their breaths while a small amount of smoke following them…however…
"Nice try you four!" The green haired muscular man chuckled standing in front of the four students and wolf cub, his arms crossed showing the bulky duel disk on his arm. "I, the great Chinto, will not allow you to escape!"
This wasn't good…fortunately, Vergil stepped forward activating his duel disk and lifted up one of his few decks. "Oh, great Chinto…I challenge you to a duel!"
"Huh!?!" Chinto, Takashi, Zeff, and Taylor questioned at the same time at Vergil's challenge.
"If you win, then I'll turn myself in and go back with you to inside the cave…" Vergil offered shuffling his dueling deck and snapping it into his active duel disk. "But if I win…then we all get to leave Scott-free…"
Shaking his head free of the confusion, Chinto activated his own duel disk and snapped his deck into its holster. "Why not? I've been on a boat for ten hours only to get yelled at by a girl and listening to nothing more than touchy feely crap…I could go for a decent duel…"
"Is this really a good idea?" Takashi whispered to Zeff as both players drew their opening hands. "I mean…if we waste any time then those four inside the cave could come out and find us…"
"Vergil's just going to distract him…" Taylor replied lifting her hand up to say it to Takashi. "While he's dueling this Chinto guy, we'll make our escape…"
"You guys go on ahead…" Zeff muttered to the two Ra Yellows jumping into one of the bushes with his eyes showing through the leaves. "I'll stay here just in case…you guys need to get some more people to help us…I think you'll be able to find someone like that…"
"Right…" Takashi and Taylor replied just as the duel was about to begin.
"DUEL!"
"Attention! All units prepare for dueling!" Chinto announced lifting his arms up into the air and pull the top card off his deck into his now six card hand. "Leading the duel will be Enforcer Sergeant!" (CLP: 8000)
In a bright flash of light, an armored average sized man spun in the air before landing on the ground his legs spread apart and his hand on the ground. The man raised his head up to show that he was a fancy golden haired man with bright skin with a golden metallic band over his eyes. A black jumpsuit covered his muscular body with golden band armor covering his joints. Instead of metallic hands, the man had replaced them with large rectangular cannons (1000/200). "And that's all for me…"
"Enforcers?" Vergil questioned slowly drawing his next card. "I have to say…I'm surprised that anyone could actually have those cards…" (VLP: 8000)
"Heh…well, I can actually make them work with the new additions that were made recently," Chinto chuckled crossing his arms over his chest. "So why don't you try to top what I can do…"
"Easier done than said," Vergil replied slapping his next card onto his duel disk. "I summon Clay Ronin in attack mode."
The ground began to meld upwards, forming into one of the very familiar clay soldiers, only this one was wearing a fancier armor with dragon carvings in it. Raising its long silver gleaming katana into the air, the Clay Ronin revealed its emotionless face (1750/0). "Now then…Clay Ronin! Attack his Sergeant!"
Without a response, the Clay Ronin charged towards the Enforcer Sergeant at an unbelievable speed swinging its katana towards the Enforcer. And just as the Clay Ronin swung his katana onto the Enforcer, the Sergeant slammed his foot into the face of the Clay warrior skidding back to Vergil's field.
Vergil's eyes widened making Chinto snickering slightly while his Sergeant did the same thing. "Nice try, but here my Sergeant will not be destroyed by fools…at least in battle…"
"And since my Clay Ronin can't inflict damage, that attack was useless," Vergil growled looking at his hand and immediately slipped another card into his duel disk. "I'll leave things at this…"
"Then I guess I'll just draw once more…" Chinto snickered once more spinning his next card up into the air. Looking at his sixth card, Chinto immediately slipped the card into his duel disk.
From behind Chinto's large body, a powerful cannon began to surge from the ground with electricity crackling around it. "I activate Overfuse Cannon! But that's not all; I activate my Sergeant's second ability!" Taking another card from his hand, Chinto slipped the card into his graveyard, making the Enforcer Sergeant glow an ominous light. "By discarding a card from my hand, he can attack you directly!"
Without a moment's notice, the Enforcer Sergeant jumped backwards flipping on top of the Overfuse Cannon, absorbing the powerful electrical surge from the weapon into his own dual cannons. "And now…Sergeant! Attack with Overfuse Blaster!"
The cannons all charged at once, and then, the two Sergeant's cannons fired directly into Vergil's body, making the young Obelisk Blue student skid backwards quite a few feet in the dirt. When the attack died down, Vergil lowered his duel disk just in time to see the drastic change in his life points. "W-what the?" (VLP: 5500)
"Confused? Allow me to clear the air," Chinto chuckled loudly as his Sergeant jumped in front of him with a large smirk on his face. "So see my Overfuse Cannon? Well, whenever an Enforcer successfully attacks, their attack is considered to have been a twenty-five hundred point blow…"
Then taking the top card of his deck, Chinto then waved his card in front of his face. "And there's another thing, the card I discarded for my Sergeant's effect was known as Discard Compensation. And when discarded for a card cost, I can draw a new card from my deck…so I'll just set it face down and end my turn."
'If I take a few more attacks like that, then I won't last long…' Vergil slowly lifted his next card up and nodded to himself. "I summon Clay Assassin in attack mode!"
From the ground, another clay samurai appeared crawling from the ground lifting up a pair of jagged daggers in power of its hands (1000/0), boring the same emotionless face as with the others. "And now…Clay Assassin attack his Sergeant!"
Again with the incredible speed, the Clay Assassin leapt towards the Enforcer Sergeant with both of his daggers raised to slice right through the Sergeant. However, like before the Sergeant just kicked the Clay Assassin into the air, shattering the clay warrior into shards. "Heh…what was the point of that?"
"Simple really, my assassin when destroyed, destroys another monster on the field," Vergil explained pointing out the two daggers lodged in the Sergeant's chest cavities. The powerful captain shouted in pain before shattering into pixels.
"What the heck!?!" Chinto shouted in questioning that factor. "Grr…you'll pay for destroying my Sergeant!"
"I hope you're more of a challenge than just a bunch of hot air," Vergil sighed looking at his hand. "I'll end my turn…"
"Hmm…you remind me of a cocky little lawyer brat I had to guard a few months ago…" Chinto growled snapping his next card off his deck, nearly ripping the card in pieces. "…but like what happened back then…I'll wipe you off and create a clean slate!"
/-/-/--///--//-//-
"G-Garu!"
"For crying out loud, couldn't you have at least listened?"
Now they were double teaming him…not good at all…so Garu was now at a very disadvantage. "Well…uh…sorry about that…"
"And look at the mess you made," Yae sighed.
Unknown to the three Cain was standing outside the red dorm's door and had his ear up against the door listening to said conversation. Originally, Cain was there to deliver the newly revamped deck to Garu…
…but now… "What the hell is going on in there?"
Still somewhat afraid of looking inside the room, Cain placed his ear up against the door again listening intently…
"So…how does this work again?"
"G-G-Garu…I-I-I thought that we went over this last time…"
"And I thought that you'd gotten the hang of it…after all, you keep saying that you're a master of it."
"Heh…well, that's true…"
'I can't take this anymore…' Lifting his right hand up, Cain knocked on the door slightly afraid that he was about to walk in on something.
The door slowly opened, and Cain sighed in relief as he saw Yae in the Slifer Red uniform. "Oh, you're the little guy…"
'Honestly! Why do I bother even introducing myself anymore?' Cain could feel the blood vessel grow on the back of his head. "…Yeah, I'm just here to see Garu about his deck…"
"Oh, I was wondering why Garu wouldn't take that out when Kara got here," Yae replied opening the door a little farther to show Garu picking up a few papers with Kara as well.
'Nice.' That was the thought Cain held onto before he was immediately pushed to the side by two yellow blurs (and a small wolf cub. "What the!?"
"Yae! Garu! We've got something to tell you guys!" Takashi shouted.
"Really, really something big!" Taylor added with Rox barking in agreement.
"…You guys can't wait at least until I get inside," Cain growled with a deadly aura floating around him and especially around his face.
/-/--///--/-/-/
"Trap card activate!" Chinto shouted throwing his hand over his face down card, depicting a trap card that showed many monsters that resembled that of the Enforcer Sergeant only with different styles. "I activate the trap known as Training Hall, so for a mere cost of a thousand points…I can special summon two level four or lower monsters with zero attack points!" (CLP: 7000)
From his trap card, two more high tech monsters leapt onto the field each standing proudly in front of Chinto. One of them was a bulky red haired older man wearing a black jumpsuit with a metallic band over his eyes, wearing a bulky, futuristic silver armor. At his back was a large shield that the man pulled immediately in front of him (0/0).
And the other one was thin blonde haired young woman wearing a black jumpsuit with a metallic band over her eyes, wearing a thin, futuristic silver armor. At her waist was a high tech gun that she spun in her hand before pointing it towards Vergil (0/1000).
"My Enforcer Captain and Cadet have just arrived! And next since its my standby phase," Chinto continued lifting a card from his hand to discard into his graveyard. "I must discard one card from my hand to keep my Overfuse Cannon on my side of the field…"
"Hmm…I'm starting to see your strategy…" Vergil muttered to himself rubbing his chin expectantly.
"Then you should see that the spell card I discarded," Chinto chuckled once more with the spell card appeared on the card showing a younger Enforcer saluting an Enforcer Captain. "Was the spell card, a New Recruit. And when discarded, I can special summon another Enforcer from my deck a level three or lower…so I can get Enforcer Trainee!"
The spell card shattered into multiple pixels allowing another Enforcer leaping onto the field. With this one, a thin brown haired young man wearing a black jumpsuit with a metallic band over his eyes, wearing a thin, futuristic silver armor giving a great smile (0/800).
"Hmm…I assume that you're going to attack with all three of them to inflict at least five thousand points of damage," Vergil guessed making Chinto a little surprised.
"Well…uh, yeah…" Chinto was a little taken back at the fact that this kid still knew how his strategy was going. "Well then…Enforcer Captain (0/0 + 2500/0)! Lead the attack!"
The red haired enforcer smirked widely before jumping towards the Clay Ronin, making his large shield form into what appeared to be a large fist that smashed right through the Clay Ronin. The impact shattered the clay warrior into multiple shards that fell to the ground. "Unfortunately, battle damage is negated both ways…"
"Well then…I guess I'll just have to take you out directly then!" Chinto laughed gesturing towards his other two Enforcers.
"Sorry to disappoint you," Vergil sighed as the two piles of the Clay Ronin began to form up into smaller versions of the Clay Ronin (500/500 x2) kneeling down in front of him. "But when fallen in battle, my ronin creates two Clay Ronin Tokens in defense mode to protect me from those other attacks…"
"We'll see about that…Enforcer Cadet and Trainee!" Chinto shouted getting his other two Enforcers to stand up tall (0/1000 + 2500/0) (0/800 + 2500/0). "Attack his two tokens!"
Both of the Enforcers leapt into the air, both of them only to be met with a large powerful vortex that sent them both skidding backwards. "Huh?!?"
"Negate Attack, an oh so useful trap card," Vergil chuckled fitting the card into his duel disk.
"Huh? If you had that set, why didn't you activate it earlier?" Chinto asked a little puzzled…until it hit him… "Those tokens! You're planning on sacrificing those little buggers!"
Immediately drawing his next card, Vergil spun it around in his fingers, making the two tokens shatter into large orbs of water that flew into the air. "Right you are…so I sacrifice both of them to summon Kaiser of Defense!"
From the darkened sky, a large man fell straight to the ground, crashing into the powerful dirt. Standing up, the man appeared to be an extremely armored tanned man. His dark blue armor gleamed in the light, as did the white bandana covering his black hair. On the armored shoulder pads were what looked to be multiple cannons and weapons. Tied to his white pants appeared to be a large bolted mace that he immediately drew and knelt down (2200/3000). "When summoned, my monster switches to defense mode…"
"So it has a Total Defense Shogun effect?" Chinto asked looking at the monster who was larger than him.
"In more ways than one," Vergil replied lifting his hand up towards the Enforcer Captain. "He can also attack in defense mode! Kaiser! Attack the Enforcer Captain!"
With a great nod, the Kaiser lifted up his massive arsenal of guns and took aim…then unleashed a powerful flurry of bullets that made the Enforcer Captain shout out in pain until he fell to the ground dead. "CRAP!" (CLP: 4800)
"And I'll end my turn, with a face down card," Vergil announced fitting another card into his duel disk. "That's all."
"Heh…nice job," Chinto chuckled as two orbs of light flew over his head and landed in front of him, showing younger versions of the Enforcer Captain (500/500 x2). "But like your Ronin, I too get two tokens to my side of the field…and like you…I intend to sacrifice both of them soon enough…"
Drawing his next card, Chinto's Overfuse Cannon slowly began to spark once more, only to calm down when Chinto discarded another card from his hand. "I'll keep my Cannon on the field…of course, it's essential when I take down that overgrown brute…"
"…coming from the muscle man," Vergil commented making Chinto narrow his eyes down at him.
"Just keep making the jokes," Chinto replied turning his next card around in his hand. "I activate the spell card, Shield and Sword! Defense, offense, swap!"
All of the holograms began to waver making the Kaiser of Defense (3000/2200), Enforcer Cadet (1000/0), Enforcer Trainee (800/0), and Enforcer Tokens (500/500) switch their stats. "But now everything will be made clear…I sacrifice my two Enforcer Tokens…"
Both of the tokens leapt into the air, creating a blinding amount of light that crashed into the ground, creating a large amount of dust to fly up into the air.
When the dust began to settle, a new enforcer was standing in front of the two duelists…this one a fancy silver haired youth with dark skin with a metallic band over his eyes. Over his black jumpsuit, silver band armor covered his skinny body. On his right arm was an enlarged bulky metallic arm that was flexed towards Vergil (2800/2400). "…for the Justified Enforcer! And now…my moment to win has just arrived! Justified Enforcer! Strike down his Kaiser of Defense!"
'Huh? I thought he would've attacked with his Cadet or Trainee first…unless this new enforcer has a secret ability!'
"Recruitment Punch!"
The Kaiser of Defense was taken back when the large fist collided with his face making him fly off into the sky, even Vergil was taken back.
And just as the Justified Enforcer slowly stepped back to Chinto's side of the field, another monster appeared on the field…
…Making Vergil's eyes widen. "Kaiser of Defense!?"
"No…you see, whenever my Justified Enforcer destroys a monster as a result of battle," Chinto explained gesturing towards the Kaiser of Defense (3000/2200) now dressed in the same fashion with the other Enforcers. "I get a token with the same attack and defense of the destroyed monster…and currently your monster's attack was three thousand…"
A cold bead of sweat slowly dripped off the back of Vergil's head at the sight of his very monster turning against him. "Oh, but don't worry…this token can't attack the turn it was summoned…but my other two Enforcers can attack!
"So why wait?"
Just as Chinto was about to declare his attack, a light from the cave caught both duelists' attention towards it. "Chinto! What's going on out here?"
"Chief!" Zeff shouted jumping from the bushes getting Vergil's attention. "We need to get out of here now!"
"Yes…we'll continue this one day," Vergil muttered turning off his duel disk.
"Don't think you can get away!" Chinto shouted charging towards Vergil at top speed like a pro football player. "I'll get you!"
"What the?!"
"Chief!"
Being pushed out of the way, Vergil saw that instead of him getting grabbed by Chinto, Zeff had jumped in the way and now had his arms locked behind his head by the muscular Chinto. "Zeff!"
"Chief! Get out of here! You gotta stay here!" Zeff shouted struggling to get free from Chinto. "Get out of here now! Damn it!"
Nodding to his companion, Vergil jumped to his feet and began to run through the woods with tears starting to flow from his eyes. 'I'm sorry my friend…'
As soon as Vergil disappeared into the darkness of the forest, Chinto looked down at his captured prey. "Pretty noble of ya…and pretty cowardly of your companion…"
Zeff turned his good eye to look directly into Chinto's eyes. "Don't talk about the chief like that you bastard…I'd gladly sacrifice myself with what he's done for me in the past…"
"Chinto…what's going on here?" Kurro asked emerging from the cave with Zaku, Tao and Natalie behind him.
"Oh sir!" Chinto shouted with glee turning around with Zeff in his arms.
"…I didn't know you were into that Chinto," Natalie gasped blushing slightly and turning her head to the side.
"W-what!?! No! I just found this guy sneaking around in the caves!" Chinto shouted kicking Zeff to the ground in front of the group of five. "He and a few other kids were spying on you guys talking…Fortunately, I managed to trick this one and grab him!"
"I don't remember it happening like that," Zeff commented only to get Chinto's boot to his back, forcing the wolf duelist to the ground. "Oof!"
"Maybe you should probably shut up," Chinto snickered putting more pressure on Zeff's back, making the wolf duelist growl slightly in pain.
"My, my, my, this simply won't do," Kurro sighed in disappointment and knelt down to be eye to eye with Zeff. "Trespassing, eavesdropping, and violating the curfew…this simply won't do young man. We'll have to discuss your punishment right now…"

"You've got to be kidding me!" Garu shouted falling out of his seat.
"Global conquest?" Cain muttered to himself, thanking himself that at least there wasn't any shadow magic in this mad man. "At least its something normal…"
"We still don't know what Kurro's final plan is," Takashi continued crossing his arms over his chest. "So we're not sure how he's going to acquire that…"
"T-This doesn't seem real," Kara commented turning her head to the side.
"Better believe it," Taylor added scratching the back of Rox's ears. "And there's more…Vergil and Zeff stayed behind to allow Takashi and I to get out of there."
"What?!" Garu and Yae shouted at the same time.
"There was this big guy chasing us! He had green hair and a muscular build," Takashi stated with a nod…not noticing that Cain's eyebrow was raised by that comment.
'Muscular? Green hair? Sounds like someone Rioko told me about last year…' Cain then rubbed his chin in deep thought when the door opened once more getting everyone's attention.
Standing in the doorway, was none other than Vergil with leaves in his hair and overcoat, almost out of breath.
"Vergil!" Everyone but Kara shouted at the same time, she was the only one who had not met Vergil.
"We…need to talk…" Vergil panted sitting on the ground tired.
