Thank you Kingster16 for the follow
Sampson was stood in his office. His finger was hovering above a button.
In seven other similar offices, men with suits on were also in the same position.
"Gentlemen, you each received your button I take it?"
All of the men shouted"Yes Sir!"
"This is what we have been working towards ever since the explosion. I asked you to infiltrate the other seven City's, this was to allow each one of you the chance to reach a high position in there councils. And the perfect way to gain there trust. I assume each one of you was able to get the ugrade boxes installed into the City's main electrical grid."
"Yes Mr Sampson. Each of the Upgrade boxes have been installed into the City's main power grid." one Councilman said.
"Perfect. Then we shall commence. Begin!"
One by one each councilman pushed their button. Sampson was the last to push his. "It ends here Malik." Sampson pressed it. "Let the cleaning, begin!"
The other seven City's were all different to Sampson's City. They were clean, and looked normal, compared to Sampson's run down City. People were outside on the streets.
Small boxes were attached to power grids in each city. The box begun to beep with a yellow light blinkering.
The box emitted a sound to all the Eight City's. The people in the City's heard the sound and fell to the floor like fainting. They were fainting in the streets and in buildings.
As they fell to the floor, blue like spirits floated away from each body. The spirits all floated into that City's upgrade box.
The upgrade box seconds later shot out arrows of light to a laboratory in each City. In each lab was disabled Androids. The light was shot directly into the Android body's.
All the Androids eyes glowed up in a red light. They all started to move slowly towards a door.
Base
"There here." said Malik. "I knew it wouldn't be to long. Thankfully we got the people inside."
Ten androids were in front the base. "Alex Hannah, as we planned. You need to find a way to disable all the boxes. I will keep these guys busy."
"You sure you can take all ten?" said Hannah.
"Well we will find out." Malik said with a joking tone. "Alex, your the best chance of disabling those boxes, Hannah will provide back up. Now go!"
"Good luck Malik." The pair both said as they left around the back, and ran into the desert like terrain."
Inbetween The City's
Alex and Hannah were in the desert like area inbetween the eight City's. The two were standing up in the middle of nowhere, dust was flying around them.
"So how do we stop these upgrage boxes?" said Hannah.
"Well going by the data we recovered from Sampson's office, it appears these boxes were delivered to each member of the council. They went undercover in the other City's to plant the boxes."
"But what do they do?"
"The boxes takes the living consciousness and transfer it into another body, aka the Androids."
"But why are they acting different? Hank and the bot Malik dueled, they were all different from there personalities."
"It must be some brain override. They must be reprogrammed, the moment they transfer bodies. If we can switch them back, they should all be back to normal."
"Will they?"
"I can only presume so Hannah."
"But the people Sampson sealed, he said they were gone forever."
"Lets focus on the bots for now, Sampson needs alot more sealing to be able to teleport to the Fire World. If we can stop the bots, then we can stop them from sealing the amount needed for Project N.W."
"So where do we go?"
"We need to go to one of the other City's, one of the councilman should know how to stop it."
"How will be get-"
Alex held up Morgans teleporter to Hannah, stopping her mid speech.
Malik
"10 V 1. This is hardly fair said Malik. My turn anyway. Draw!"
Turn 12
Malik LP: 300 Hand: 4 - One Set Card
Androids X 10 : 4000 Hand: 4 - One Android controls one set card. Each Android controls one Perfect Android with 5000 ATK
Perfect Android ATK: 5000 DEF: 0 Gage LVL 1 Dark/Machine/Growth
"Using the same deck Sampson gave to John and Josh. Typical. And I don't have any Gage Counters. I need to think of something quick."
Hannah And Alex
"OK I have programmed it to hit one the offices where one of the councilman works."
"I'm going to enjoy seeing another City. Since we all got banned from them."
"The other seven City's banned anyone from Sampson's City entering. Because they feared one of us was behind the explosion and we would do the same thing again. Its actually a good idea, but they shouldnt cut everyone off."
Alex pushed the teleport button. He and Hannah disappeared.
Seconds later, the pair landed into a similar looking office as Sampson. There was a black man in a suit, he was bald and had a red tie.
"Who... Who are you?!"
"Hello Councilman." said Alex.
"Security. I need you!"
"Don't try, I added a chip to this teleport. All communications are blocked."
"Teleport, who are you?!"
"Were Team Fightback." said Hannah.
"Team Fightback?" He laughed. "What are you doing here?! Here to stop our cleaning up process."
"Thats exactly what were doing, tell us about these boxes?"
"Why should I?"
"Because turning people into Robots is not the way to solve the problem." said Hannah.
"These people are duelists, they are the evil ones. We made sure all non duelists in each of the other City's were protected from the boxes. Only the evil ones are getting turned."
"Duelists are not evil!"
"Really, someone turned the Championship match between Tyrus and Sampson into a personal matter, someone turned monsters real, and the people who got hit disappeared."
"Whoever it was, it does not tarnish all Duelists. Were not all like that." said Alex fiercely.
"I disagree, plus your nothing, Your team was a waste of time. What can you do? All eight of us including Mr Sampson are all high in power, no one will listen to you. What we say goes."
Hannah begun to shake with anger. "I will not let you." she said angrily.
"And what?!" The councilman said.
"Hannah, cool it." said Alex.
The councilman stood up and went to the door. "If you excuse me, I will get the police. Then you two will join your fellow losers in being sealed."
" ." Hannah spoke slowly.
"Hannah please."
Before Alex ended his sentence, Hannah had turned into Rachel. Her red eyes pierced at the Councilman.
Malik
"I summon Ragtag Pirate!"
Ragtag Pirate ATK: 1000 DEF: 200 LVL 3 Earth/Warrior
"This card allows me to target one monster on the field, and decrease their ATK by 800 and increase Pirates by 800. And since were playing battle royal mode, I can do it to all of your fields at once."
Androids: ATK: 4200 Pirate: 9000 Malik Gage: 10
"9000 ATK points isn't enough, I need to end this duel, this turn. And I know how."
Alex Hannah/Rachel
"Who... What are you?!" said the councilman.
"My name is Rachel, and my good half just lost her temper."
"Hannah Rachel, whoever you are." said Alex trying to speak to Rachel.
"I will deal with you later." Rachel's red eyes looked at Alex, she froze his body. Only Alexs head could now move.
"Don't do this." Alex said. Rachel ignored him.
"Now then, its time for some information." said Rachel.
"I wont tell you." replied the Councilman.
"I don't need telling."
"Why do you need to know, are you helping Hannah?!" said Alex.
"Hardly, this plot could screw up my destiny. "
"Destiny?" said Alex
Rachel froze the councilman on the spot. She placed her hand on his chest, his eyes looked down with panic sewed into them.
"I'm sorry, but if your not going to tell me. Then I will need to do my own digging." Rachel's hand then glowed with dark aura. She placed it onto the Councilmans body.
The councilmans face started to clench up in whole body was glowing a dark aura. His aura was passing onto Rachel."
Malik
"I play the trap, Ragtag Team Up. I send one Foundation Ragtag from my hand to the grave, then I can special summon one LVL 4 or below Ragtag from my deck. I send Ragtag Camel, then I special summon Ragtag Turtle to the field!"
Ragtag Turtle ATK: 200 DEF: 100 LVL 1/Foundation Aqua/Reptile
"I pay four gage counters to grow my turtle!"
Malik Gage: 10 - 6
"Golden power, soar the sky. Golden Light Heart Eagle appear!"
Golden Light Heart Eagle ATK: 2000 DEF: 1600 Gage LVL 4 Light/Winged Beast/Growth
"We knew you would do this." said the Androids all at once. "One Android flipped his trap. "I play the trap, Solemn Strike."
"Solemn Strike?"
"By paying 2000 lifepoints, we can negate your special summoned monster." Android 4000 - 2000
"I'm sorry my friend, Eagles effect kicks in. This cards summon cant be negated."
"No, impossible."
"Yes it is possible. I pay four gage counters, this reduces your monsters to 0 ATK!"
Perfect Androids ATK: 0 Malik Gage: 6 - 2
"I play the quick play spell. Growth Chain ."
Eagle got wrapped in chains, it then was destroyed. "This card allows me to destroy one Growth monster, then I can attack another monster on the field!"
"Why would you destroy your own monster just to attack when you could already do so?!" said the Androids.
"Ah, but this card allows my monster to keep attacking monsters, as long as I destroy a monster before."
"Impossible."
"Come on, I knew you guys were coming. Sampson was never going to leave me alone. So I changed my deck around which focus on Battle Royal rules. I have more then 40 cards at my disposal. I can switch them around. Now go Pirate attack each Android!"
Alex Hannah/Rachel
The councilman fell to the floor. His body was motionless, his body looked like it had been drained of all life energy.
"What... what have you done?" said Alex.
"I have killed him. If thats what you wanted to know."
"How... How could you?!"
"He wasn't going to tell me what I needed to know, so I drained his memory."
"So you didn't have to kill him?!"
"No. But that was half of the fun. Now about you Alex, you tricked me last time. I thought you didn't see me, but you did. Well done."
"Who are you? What has happened to Hannah?!"
"That does not matter. I have a destiny to fulfill." Rachel held out her hand to Alex. "I could erase your mind, but killing you will be more fun. Why didn't you tell Malik about me?"
"How can I tell someone his best friend is a Witch?"
"A Witch. No. I'm a Queen."
"A queen..." Rachel's hand was close to Alex's chest, he had to think fast.
"I know, how about aduel? You love fun, please give me one last duel before I die."
Rachel withdrew her hand. "You would be willing to duel me? Fine. You will still die but one last duel. Yes that will be fun."
Rachel touched Alex. "I don't need no fancy teleporter." The pair disappeared from the office.
Malik
Androids LP: 4000 & 2000 - 0 Malik Wins.
The androids collapsed and disappeared. Malik let out a sigh of relief. "That took a long time, why isn't Alex and Hannah back yet?" Malik looked down.
He looked at Golden Light Heart Eagle in his hand. "Morgan, I will come and get you. Just hold on."
Alex Rachel
The pair had landed in the middle of eight City's, they were in the wasteland. There duel disks were out.
"So we can duel here. I hope you don't mind me freezing your legs, but I don't like cowards."
"No I don't mind. I'm going to die at the end of this duel, I'm being attacked by a Witch. All is going well." he said sarcastically
Rachel was stood still,her head tingled. She looked on, thinking about something else.
"One of the Fabled Bird cards is nearby. Golden Light Heart Eagle, a King is close." Rachel thought to herself.
Next Time: Alex is dueling for the last time, unless he can trick the impossible person who stands in front of him.
This current arc is coming to a close and the new one will begin on Chapter 30.
