Hey, King Spike Rules here and here is the next chapter to Vice. No dual in this one, just building more of what the sin duals are and how they work, with hints of the rival who will appear soon.


Chapter 5: Planning Ahead.

Yuki in his Shadow Fox outfit and Aoi watched in horror as the masked man falls from the beam, high above the construction site and heading to the ground. Fox tried to reached for his boot to stop him, but missed as they looked down as they watched him fall.

"Oh, crap." he said as they watched him fall from the eminence height and he seamed to be falling to his doom until the figure watching from a roof top pressed a button on a remote. A hole opened on his dual disk and fired a rod out of it, hitting the beam, sticking into it as the man hung there safe from any more falling. The figure got up and looked at the scene before raising a glass to them.

"Thank you for the entertainment, Yuki." the figure said as they finished their drink and placed the glass down, heading off as Aoi and Yuki both breathed a sigh of relieve as they saw he was safe.

"Shit, that was scary." Aoi said as he looked at Yuki and smiled under his mask as Yuki looked back at him.

"Yeah, but we should head off before any one sees us." he said as he stood up and almost instantly lost his balance, causing Aoi to grab him to keep him from falling off of the beam.

"Okay, but we're taking it slow." he said as he put Yuki's arm over his shoulder and helped him to the elevator, grabbing his computer as they headed down. Once on the ground, Yuki removed the dual disk and looked at it for a few moments as he then handed it to Aoi.

"I need to go home before Luca wakes up, you can keep this and we will check it out after school." Yuki said as Aoi took it and nodded as they headed off from the site, leaving the man hanging by his dual disk.


Back in the lab, the man in a suit smiled as he watched the dual in full and live as his people were hard at word with their scans of the dual, focusing mostly on the deck of Fox as he had the card they wanted.

"Can you tell me anything on the cards he plays?" the man asked his lead researcher as they typed away at their computers and worked on it.

"We can't seam to find anything unusual about his cards." she said as she typed more and more on it while he turned to look at her, waiting for her to add anything to what she had said. "But we can say that his deck seams to not be a pro of any kind, whether a top pro or a underworld pro." she added as eh looked from her to the screen that had a freeze frame of Knight of Shadows: Shroud on it.

"How did a nobody find a card this powerful?" he asked himself out loud as he reached out and rubbed his hand against the screen that showed the monster, looking at it in aw as he added, "I will find you, and get you where you belong." While saying this, his researches continued to type on their computers and look over their scans as they needed to find out who had Shroud.


The sun was setting over Central City as Yuki was sitting on the bed while he was watching Aoi look over his computer and was looking through data as his computer was hooked up to the dual disk

"So, anything new about how this thing works or how it could link us to the Sin Duals?" Yuki asked him as he looked at the computer and then back at the dual disk before he said, "It seams to be just a normal dual disk."

"That's because it is." Aoi said as he continued to type on the computer for a few more minutes before looking at Yuki for a second as he added, "Well, for the most part."

"What do you mean?" Yuki asked him as he looked at his friend, who looked back at him and let out a sigh as he returned to the computer.

"Well, it's basically a normal dual disk on the outside and works like one." he said as eh typed a bit on the computer and brought up a blue print on the scene for Yuki to see as eh continued, "But inside, it is much different. There are sensors inside it that tells you when it's being worn or how thick the clothes they are wearing to make sure they feel the shock. And then there's the extra battery inside that seams to be the cause of the shocking."

"So, they modified it for their own needs." he said as he laid back on the bed with his arms behind his head, looking up to the ceiling as eh was now in deep thought as he said to himself, "So, there's no way for them to find it here or anything?"

"No, there's no serial number or bar code. And I made sure to keep any possible tracking devise off before I even plugged it into my computer." he said as he turned from his computer and looked at Yuki as he was laying on the bed as he let out another sigh before fixing his glasses on his face as he asked, "Yuki, are you sure you want to continue on this quest to shut them down?" This question made Yuki sit right up as he looked at Aoi and Aoi looked right back at him.

"What do you mean?" Yuki asked him as he was now sitting up again and giving his friend as weird look as Aoi just continued to look back at him.

"Well, you had a Sin Dual last night and you could hardly walk straight this morning." Aoi said as he remembered how Yuki had been weak all through out school that day and he had to watch him to make sure he didn't keel over from all of the things he did.

"No way." Yuki said with great conviction as he slammed his fist to his own chest and smiled wide as he continued, "This only made me want to see more and stop all of it once, and for all. In fact." He paused as eh stood up and tried to continued his speech, but he suddenly seamed out of it and fell back on the bed as he held his head, seaming to have been placed in a daze from getting up as he did.

"See, you can't even stand up to fast without worrying about passing out." Aoi said as Yuki shook his head to clear it and looked at Aoi, who looked back at him as he began to rub the bridge of his nose and let out an annoyed groan as he looked back at him, "Alright, I guess I can't change who you are or how much you believe you can stop this. But please, take the next few days off from being Shadow Fox to heal up and all before going off trying to kill yourself?"

"Well, no promises." Yuki said smiling as Aoi looked at him annoyed before reaching tapping him on the forehead as Yuki fell back on the bed and groaned as his head was now killing him. "W-well. M-m-maybe I could." Aoi shook his head and smiled as he looked at his friend laying on his bed and then turned back to the computer, typing as he needed to make sure he got everything he needed from the dual disk.


Meanwhile, back in the lab, the man in a suit continued to look at the screen with Shroud on it as the researches around him continued to look around the two duals they had of Shadow Fox and tried to see if they could find a link to him though it. After a few more minutes of checking the scans, one of their computers began to make an alarm and all of their eyes turned to hers as she typed on it.

"Sir, we have found out some info on Shadow Fox." she said as she continued to looked at the screen and type furiously on it as he walked over to her, looking over her shoulder at all the data that was flooding the screen.

"So, who is he and where is his location?" he asked her smirking as he watched her type like lightning for a few more minutes before stopping and looking at it al for a few minutes as he looked at it in aw.

"We do not have any news on who he is and or his exact location at this time." she said as the man looked at her confused as to what she meant by info that was needed for them.

"So, what have you learn about him?" he asked as there was a tone of anger to his voice as he looked down at her and placed his hand on her shoulder, causing her to seize up and gulped as she felt him looking down to her. This made her remember all the others who gave him bad info and wasted his time, all were never heard of again. Collecting herself with a deep breath, she showed him by pointing to her screen.

"We have found this is the area with most sightings of him over the last few weeks and they seam to found around a train station that is well with a few stops." she explained as she sweat ran down her face as she looked at his hand on her shoulder, watching as his fingers move around on it and hoping she would get relieved of the pressure she had brought upon herself. Soon, his hand calmed and he lifted it away as he had a wide smile on his face. He left her for a moment as he walked to look at the main screen and then turned his head to look back at her.

"Please put it up on the screen." he said as she typed on the computer and then showed a map on the screen of the train rout that she was talking about. He turned to look at it and thought for a few moments before he asked, "Now, link up all of the sightings of him to the local collectors by them." She typed on it and then five spots appeared on the screen.

"Those are all of the collectors we have stationed, minusing Blain of course." she said smiling as he nodded and looked at it as he began to think over all this info as the researches waited for him to give an order.

"Okay, contact all of them and tell them to keep an eye out for him. And to contact us before starting a dual between them and him so we can collect more info on him." he said as they all nodded and began to do at he wished, contacting all of the collectors on their new target and setting up scanners for when he does finally show up again while the man in the suit smirked wider as he felt they were on the right tract to catch their prey.


In an apartment building, at the very top of it a young woman stood in her bed room looking out at the city with a smile on her face. Her lushes body free of any restrains like clothes as she sat on her bed with a glass of juices on the side table as she looked at her phone smiling as she was looking at some video of Shadow Fox dualing the masked man.

"You did a great job against him Yuki." she said to herself as she tipped on the glass and then laid on the bed, relaxing as she looked at him summoning Shroud, which made her smirk too as she added, "And I can't wait to meet you in real life so you can see my warrior too, Yuki." She then sat back up on the bed and looked at her glass of juices, sipping on it as she looked back out the window to her room as she enjoyed the view from her place when her phone rang. Looking at it for a few moments, she turned it onto the speaker as she said, "Yes."

"You have been assigned a time and place for your next dual." the person on the other side of the phone said, revealing itself to be a woman. The young woman smiled as she sipped on her drink and let out a light sigh as the person then asked, "Is everything alright?"

"Oh, yes. Just fine." she said smiling as she looked down at the phone she had placed on the nightstand so she could talk to her better with the speaker as she continued, "You can send it to me through a text, can I ask when is it?"

"It's this Saturday at 10." the person said as she smiled and sat back on the bed, placing one of her legs on her other as she now looked up at the ceiling.

"Good, that will be fine. Just get that deposit the money when I win." she said smiling as she hung up the phone and ran her hands over her body as she smiled to herself as she said, "That will give me enough time to set up a meeting with Yuki as a test to his skill and see if he is really deserving of what I have planned for him." She smirked wider as she began to move her hands over her body, causing herself to gasp and moan as images popped into her head for what she had planned.

TBC.


That is it for this chapter. The next one will have a dual between Yuki against a collector just before he meets his rival for the first time. Please leave a review and tell me how it's going,a nd also send in oc if you want to join in.
