*Baxton Tower (aka Rift Tower), New York, New York, 8:42 A.M. LST*
Alice finally became conscious, she tried to move but couldn't. She then realized that she was tied to a steel chair.
Alice: What the Hell? !
Edwards: Ah your awake.
Alice looked up and saw Clyde Edwards sitting across from her with a desk in between them.
Edwards: We have a lot to talk about Ms. Knightly...
Beep… Beep… Beep…
Nick Hollaland woke up in what appeared to be a hospital bed and was attached to a respirator.
Nick: *thinks: Where the hell am I?*
Nick then pulled the machine off of himself and got out of the bed only to notice that Typhon was standing at the door.
Typhon: Where do you think you're going?
Nick: YOU! WHERE THE HELL AM I? !
Typhon: Paxton Tower, New York City.
Nick: Where are the others?
Typhon: Well, the little brat girl is in the bed right next to ya. You two sucked up a lot of that smoke.
Nick looked at the bed next to him and saw May attached to another respirator, not even conscious.
Typhon: We have the others in holding on the floor above ya. Oh, and your Decks and Duel Disks are now official Rift property. So, when you leave, you won't be getting those back.
Nick: You asshole!
Nick tried to punch Typhon, but he grabs his fist and slams Nick back into his bed. Then he puts a leather strap across Nick's chest, trapping him there.
Typhon: Hey, I need you on your best behavior, kiddo. The boss is here to visit and I want to make a good impression.
Nick: The boss?
Typhon: Are you deaf? Yes, the boss. Now, I'm gonna need you to stay in your room, 'cause we got guards all over this building. So, just stay there and look pretty.
Typhon left Nick in the room and left. As soon as he left, Typhon started to cough pretty fiercely and even coughed up some blood. He wiped the blood on the side of his shirt and moved on. As soon as Typhon was gone, May opened her eyes and removed her respirator.
May: Oh, thank God, I thought he'd never leave!
Nick: Don't tell me you were faking the whole time!
May: Of course I was, geez, are you stupid? !
May got out of the bed and released Nick from the leather strap.
Nick: I guess we're stuck in here, though. With Rift guards everywhere, there's no way to get around this place.
May: Well, there's always that option.
May was pointing up toward the ventilation shaft.
Nick: Great, more vents! Too big for me to get in, but a short person like you could fit in there.
May: What do you mean by short?
Nick: I said you're short. Did I stutter?
May: You jerk!
May climbed in through the vent and crawled around the ventilation system for a bit. She crossed paths with spider webs and cockroaches of all kinds.
May: Ew, this is so disgusting! Next time, I'll make the jerk got through the vents!
May then noticed that an area below her was a guarded room where they kept all the stolen Decks and Duel Disks.
May: Jackpot!
May jumped down, took back everyone's Duel Disk and Deck, climbed back through the vent and returned to their room, giving Nick back his stuff.
Nick: Great work, kiddo! Now, head up a level and give the others their stuff.
May nodded and jumped back into the vents. Along the way, she could hear people talking below her.
Rift goon: Mr. Typhon, here's the medical results you asked for.
Typhon: Good, now beat it!
When the Rift goon left, Typhon opened the envelope and looked at the medical results.
Typhon: … Shit… Lung cancer, are you kidding me?
Typhon then took out am match and set the results on fire. He then took out another match and cigarette and smoked it.
May: *thinks: And you're surprised you got lung cancer?*
May continued on her way though the vents and eventually found what appeared to be a holding cell. Inside the holding cell was Cyla and Crow. May popped out of the vent in front of them.
May: There you are! I got something for you guys!
May handed them their Decks and Duel Disks.
May: Hey, where's Alice?
Cyla: They took her away. We don't know where.
May: They probably took her to Clyde Edwards.
Crow: Great, and here we are, stuck in a cell!
May: Give me a second, I can get you guys out.
She then pulled out some lock picking tools and began to pick the lock. However, before she was able to unlock it, the lights turned red and an alarm turned on.
VVVVooooVVVVoooooVVVVoooo
May: WAAAH! I didn't do it!
Intercom: Intruder Detected on Ground Floor! He's a Duelist! Defeat him and take his Cards!
Crow: We're not on the ground floor, are we?
May: No, we're on floor 123.
Cyla: There can't be much more floors then. Edwards must be on the top floor. This intruder can distract all the guards so we can make our way up.
May finally unlocked the door and the three ran out in a hurry.
Meanwhile, a floor below them, in all the confusion, Nick slipped out of the medical room. He slipped past two Rift guards who were talking about the intruder.
Rift goon 1: Are you telling me they didn't take this guy down yet? !
Rift goon 2: No, he's using some sort of cards we've never seen before! No one's got a strategy to take him down!
Rift goon 1: No freakin' way! What kind of cards does this guy have? !
Nick snuck up behind both of them and…
CRASH!
Nick had knocked them both unconscious with a flower vase.
Nick: You know, this is actually pretty funny when it happens to somebody else.
Nick tossed the broken vase pieces to the side and brushed his hands against each other.
Nick: Now to save the damsel and be the hero for a change in this crappy story!
ZZZAP!
An electric bolt barely missed Nick. He looked down the hall and saw the scary Shakocra in there.
Nick: You again, ugly? ! Last time I saw you, you were taken in cuffs!
Shakocra: I was released for good behavior.
Nick: … You're not kidding, are you? That's the justice system for ya.
Shakocra readied his Duel Disk to duel.
Nick: FIne, if you want to lose, that's your problem!
Both: Duel!
Shakocra (LP 4000): *draws* I summon Static Experiment Neutron (Lv.4 1700/400)! Then I'll set two cards face-down and end my turn!
Nick (LP 4000): I activate the Cost Down Spell! I discard a card from my hand and all monsters in my hand are 2 Levels lower this turn! I now summon Ally of Justice Omni-Weapon (Lv.5 2200/800)! Attack his monster!
Shakocra: I activate the Trap Static Grid! If I have a Static monster on the field, you can't attack any monster with Static in their name!
Omni-Weapon had to stop his attack when a grid-like barrier appeared in front of Static Experiment Neutron.
Nick: I'll set one card face-down and end my turn!
Typhon talking on a portable radio, listening to the other Rift members.
Typhon: WHO THE HELL BROKE INTO THE TOWER? ! IS IT SECTOR SECURITY? !
Rift goon (radio): N-No! Definitely not! It's just one person!
Typhon: HOW THE **** CAN YOU IDIOTS GET THROWN AROUND BY ONE DUELIST? ! YOU BETTER BEAT HIM OR I'LL BURN YOU ALIVE! ! !
Rift goon (radio): Don't worry, sir! He's about to lose! Go, Judgment Dragon! Attack! … Wha? A T-Tr-rap? N-Noooooo! *crash* *static*
Typhon: GRRR! DAMN IT!
Typhon threw the portable radio at the wall and broke it. As soon as he broke it, Crow, May and Cyla came into the hallway he was in and saw him.
Crow: You!
Typhon: Go figure! You're not the ones behind this, are ya? … No, you're not that good. No one's this good of a duelist.
Crow: What are you talking about?
Typhon: We have the best duelists in the Rift organization in this building. Yet, we have one duelist going through them like a wildfire through a forest.
Cyla: Crow, we can take Typhon down together,
May: Yeah, Crow! Just say the word!
Crow: No, he's mine!
Cyla: But why?
Crow: There are some little kids I look after back in the Satellite. He threatened me using them.
Typhon: Oh yeah, those little brats. I'll pay them a visit once I'm done with you.
Crow: Cyla, you and May go on. I'll make sure this guy is finished.
Cyla nodded, grabbed May by her shoulder, pulled her away and continued onward.
Typhon: I'm gonna you and your Black Turkeys to a crisp!
Crow: Over your dead body!
Both: Duel!
Crow (LP 4000): *draws* I summon Blackwing-Ghibli the Searing Wind (Lv.3 0/1600) in defense mode! Then I'll set a card face-down and end my turn!
Typhon (LP 4000): *draws* You remember my Blaze Accelerator, don't you? Well I'm activating it now! I discard Volcanic Shell to destroy your Searing Wind!
The Blaze Accelerator shot Volcanic Shell at Ghibli and destroyed him.
Typhon: And I'll finish with two face-downs!
Crow: *draws* I summon Blackwing-Fane the Steel Chain (Lv.2 500/500)! Then I Special Summon Blackwing-Bora the Spear (Lv.4 1700/800)! And now they'll both attack!
Typhon: I activate the Trap Firewall! By removing a Pyro-type monster from play, I can negate an attack! I think I'll negate the attack of your bigger bird!
A firewall stopped Bora from attacking, but Fane struck Typhon with his long chain, inflicting him with 500 points of damage.
Crow: I'll set one more card face-down and end my turn!
Typhon (LP 3500): *draws, pays 500 Life Points for Firewall* I activate Card Destruction! This forces us to send our hands to the Graveyard and draw the same number we had!
Both Crow and Typhon discarded their hands and drew the same number of cards they discarded. When Typhon drew his cards, he had a fiendish smirk on his face.
Typhon (LP 3000): Crow, to show you I'm not such a bad guy, I'm going to give you a gift. I'll have to sacrifice your two monsters to summon it however! So I tribute your two monsters to summon Lava Golem (Lv.8 3000/2500)!
Crow was then trapped in a cage being held by the monstrous Lava Golem.
Typhon: How do you like it?
Crow: Can I return this gift?
Typhon: I don't think so, because I now activate the Trap Mask of Restrict! Now you can't tribute monsters! And I'll set one card face-down and end my turn!
Crow: Is it just me or is it getting hot in here?
Lava Golem stood as a molten monstrosity as a part of its face melted off and landed on the floor. The lava then burned through the floor, where Nick was dueling Shakocra and almost hit Nick.
Nick: Sheez! What the hell!
Nick looks up to see a hole in the roof.
Nick: What the hell is going on up there?
Nick then turned his attention back to the duel, where he had All of Justice Thunder Armor (Lv.8 2700/2200), Ally of Justice Catastor (Lv.5 2200/1200) and Ally of Justice Field Marshal (Lv.9 2900/2600) with a face-up DNA Transplant and a face-down card, while Shakocra had Static Experiments Neutron, Proton (Lv.4 1700/400) and Electron (Lv.4 1700/400) and a face-up Static Grid Trap.
Shakocra (LP 2300): My move! *draws* I now place Proton, Neutron and Electron in the Spell and Trap Card Zone to Special Summon Static Charge Atom God Particle (Lv.12 0/0)!
An atom was hovering in the air with Static Experiments Proton, Neutron and Electron orbiting around it.
Shakocra: When he's summoned, all face-up Traps on the field are destroyed!
Lightning bolts pierced Nick's DNA Transplant and Shakocra's own Static Grid Trap, destroying them.
Shakocra: I activate the Spell Card Atom Wall! Now, you cannot attack me unless your monster has 1000 or less original attack power! And that ends my turn!
Nick (LP 3300): *draws* I think I got a way to get around your little Spell Card! I now activate my face-down DNA Surgery to change all monsters on the field to Fiend-type monsters! Then I tribute my 3 Fiends to summon Raviel, Lord of Phantasms (Lv.10 4000/4000)!
Nick and Shakocra felt the building shake and then they both looked outside the window. Raviel's face was staring right at them through the wall-sized hallway windows. This massive Sacred Beast seemed to be hanging on the side of the building like King Kong in a movie. The city below looked up and saw the monstrous creature and couldn't contemplate what was going on.
On the top floor, just outside of Clyde Edwards' office were the two idiots Jason Belling and Jacob Castelo, just standing outside guarding the door.
Belling: You hear about the intruder? I hear he's got all one-of-a-kind cards.
Castelo: Are you kidding me? What kind of Deck is built like that?
Belling: Hell if I know. Probably some- What the hell is that?
Belling and Castelo both looked out the window and saw Raviel's giant claw as it crashed through the glass. They both screamed like little schoolgirls.
Belling and Castelo: AAAAAAAAAHHHH!
The claw clenched down and his fingers pierced the floor as if it was trying to hold on. Belling and Castelo were now huddling in the corner, scared shitless.
Belling: Wh-Wh-What the hell is that? !
Castelo: I think it's a giant claw!
Belling: … NO SHIT!
While those two morons were scared to death by Raviel's claw, Cyla and May came in and were surprised to see the giant claw in the hallway.
May: Whoa, that's big!
Belling: Intruders!
Castelo: No shit!
Cyla: Move aside! We're going through!
Castelo: No way! We're already in deep shit for failing three times already! We're not letting you into the boss's room!
May: Maybe we should just ask the big claw to knock it down for us.
Belling: Or-Or-Or-Or-Or we could just duel!
Cyla: *sarcastically* Of course, why would we think we could just simply walk by?
It was still Nick's turn against Shakocra.
Nick: Go, Raviel! Attack!
Raviel reached in, broke the glass and tried to grab the Particle in his hand so he could crush it, but the particle brightly lit up and Raviel was forced to release him.
Shakocra: By sending one of the Static Experiments to the Graveyard, I can negate your attack and end the Battle Phase!
Nick: Damn! I'll end my turn then!
Nick felt something on the side of his face then. It was blood from the cut he received when the glass was broken by Raviel.
Nick: *thinks: Did he really break that window? I feel the breeze, but he's a hologram. Holograms can't do real damage.*
Meanwhile, Crow was trapped inside Lava Golem's cage with seemingly no way out.
Crow (LP 3000): *draws* I summon the Tuner monster Blackwing-Mistral the Silver Shield (Lv.2 100/1800)! Then I use the Equip Spell Demotion on Lava Golem to decrease his Level by 2! And then I'll tune Mistral with-
Typhon: Not so fast! I activate the Trap Discord! Until my 3rd End Phase, neither of us can Synchro Summon!
Crow: Damn it! Well, your Lava Golem still has plenty of attack points, so I'll just deal with you directly!
Lava Golem shot out lava from his mouth, but then Typhon's Firewall activated and stopped the attack.
Typhon: Remember that Card Destruction? I discarded a few Pyro-type monsters to fuel my Firewall Trap!
Crow: Damn it!
Typhon: *draws, pays 500 LP for Firewall* I'll now send *coughs* Blaze Accelerator to the Graveyard to activate Tri-Bla- *cough cough* to activate Tri-Blaze *cough cough hack*
Typhon was having a coughing fit. Typhon coughed into his hands and when he looked in them, he saw that he coughed up his own blood. He quickly wiped it on his sleeve and continued with his turn.
Typhon (LP 2500): I activate Tri-Blaze Accelerator and then I send that to the Graveyard to summon Volcanic Doom fire (Lv.8 3000/1800)! And now I wait! My Lava Golem will destroy you slowly and painfully.
Nick: Say hello to Uria, Lord of Searing Flames (Lv.10 0/0)!
Uria coiled itself around the tower next to Raviel and stared though the window.
Nick: There's 5 Continuous Traps in my Graveyard, so Uria's attack is now at 5000! Now, attack!
Uria breathed a searing flame into the hallway. The vaccuum near the elevator door caused the flame to spread and set the floors below on fire.
Nick: Oh shit.
And yet, the attack failed to destroy Shakocra's Particle.
Shakocra: You should know by now that I just need to remove one of these Static Experiments to end the Battle Phase. And when I've removed the third, we all get a special surprise.
Nick: What surprise is that?
Shakocra: When the last Static Experiment is removed, the atom will split and do you know what happens when an atom splits?… Boom!
Nick: But that means…
Nick then had several flashbacks… The lava dripping from the ceiling… Raviel breaking the glass and cutting Nick's face… Uria setting the lower floors ablaze… The damage didn't just seem real, the damage was real! If that atom was to explode…
Nick: Oh shit!
Shakocra: You realize you can't win now, right?
Nick: I set one card face-down and end my turn!
Shakocra: *draws*
Nick: I activate the Trap Sudden Retreat! This forces the turn player to go straight to their End Phase!
Shakocra: Fine, I end my turn!
Nick: *thinks: We are sitting right on top of an atomic bomb here! I think there's only one way to destroy it without killing everyone here! But I need to play it right!* *draws* I activate Plentiful Bounty to draw more cards! *drew until 6 cards in hand* I activate the Continuous Spells Soul Absorption, Degenerate Circuit and Burden of the Mighty! Then I send them all to the Graveyard to summon Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder (Lv.10 4000/4000)! Then I remove Hamon, Uria and Raviel from play in order to summon Armityle the Chaos Phantom (Lv.12 0/0)!
Armityle coiled around the building and held on to the top of the building as its massive tail was wrapped around all the way to the bottom of the building.
Nick: I was saving this for my rematch with Kennat, but I guess I can use him on you!
Shakocra: You still can't attack! I'll just stop it!
Nick: Your card's effect only activates when a monster with 1000 or more original attack points attacks! Armityle's attack points are originally 0, so when he attacks, you can't stop it and when Armityle Attacks, the damage is Delt as 10,000 points!
Shakocra: No! You can't-
Nick: Attack!
Armityle, with 10,000 attack points, swiped his claw through the building, destroying more of it and swiped the God Particle, sending Shakocra's Life Points to 0. Armityle kept swiping and hit Shakocra, sending him flying out of the back window and fell all the way down the side of the tower. Nick leans out the window and sees him falling, faintly hearing Shakocra's scream.
Nick: Ouch.
Armityle disappeared with the conclusion of the duel, but the fires Uria started and turned the building into a towering inferno and the fires were only getting stronger.
Nick: Whoopsy.
Nick then hurried toward and up the staircase.
Meanwhile, Crow was still in a tough predicament with Typhon's Lava Golem, Mistal the Silver Shield and 3 face-down cards.
Typhon: You last turn, kid! Make it count!
Crow (LP 2000): *draws*
More of Lava Golem fell in Crow's cage and he lost 1000 more Life Points.
Crow (LP 1000): I activate the Trap Down Burst! This forces all of your Spells and Traps to be Set face-down!
All of Typhon's Trap Cards were set face-down.
Crow: Then I activate Delta Crow-Anti Reverse! Since I have a Blackwing, I can destroy all of your face-down Spells and Traps!
Typhon's face-down Traps were all destroyed.
Crow: Now I tune Mistral the Silver Shield with Lava Golem to Synchro Summon Black-Winged Dragon (Lv.8 2800/1600)! Then I summon Blackwing-Shura the Blue Flame (Lv.4 1800/1200)! And then I activate my last face-down Icarus Attack! I can tribute a Winged-Beast to destroy up to 2 cards on the field!
Shura flew up high and dive-bombed toward Volcanic Doomfire flaming like a meteor and destroyed it.
Crow: And now Black-Winged Dragon will attack you directly! Shadow Squall Blast!
Black-Winged Dragon shot a dark whirlwind stream from his mouth at Typhon, reducing his Life Points to 0. The Resulting move caused parts of the wall to collapse and Smoke filled the hallway. It was so thick, Crow couldn't see a thing. Typhon had gone, and the fire was spreading. Crow ran to the stairs, and ran into Nick.
Crow: Nick, what's happening here? !
Nick: The Tower's on Fire! All the lower floors are an Inferno.
Crow: Typhon! He must have set more fire bombs for his escape.
Nick: Yeah, right, Typhon…heheh…he-he did it!
Crow: Come on we need to hurry!
Nick: When do we ever NOT hurry?
The 2 hurrried up the stairs to the top floor and saw the Duel between the girls and Delling and Castello still happening. Belling had lost and was a lump on the floor, Castello had nothing on the field. May had Ying Dragon (Lv.6 2100/2000) and Yang Dragon (Lv.6 2000/2100). And Cyla was in the middle of a synchro summoning.
Cyla: I synchro summon SAND DRAGON (Lv.7 2600/800). And it will attack you directly.
The Sand Dragon breathed a breath of Fire witch defeated Costello and made him fall to his knees.
Cyla: That's that!
Nick: Great, now let's get Alice and get out of here.
The Group Entered the Head office, the room had been knocked around with the chaos. The Desk was flipped over, Papers were everywhere, it simply looked trashed. Alice was tied to a steel Chair, that was knocked over and Clyde Edwards himself was behind the turned over desk holding his head for a hit he took when he hit the floor.
Alice: About time You Guys showed up! I was Waiting!
Crow: Sorry, They were giving free donuts in the lobby, we couldn't help it.
Edwards: Faaaan-tanstic...
Edwards stood up and climbed over the desk. He was wearing a Special dueldisk, with two deck slots and the disk could flip around and have another field on it. It was specially built for 2 on 1 duels. May helped untie Alice and got her to her feet.
Edwards: You invade my tower, attack my staff, DESTROY my tower, and barge into my office...well none of you are leaving here ALIVE!
Everyone seemed ready to duel, but Edwards pushed a button and all deactivated.
Edwards: I don't think so! If you can't Duel! I'll just have to take your cards. Oh well.
Edwards smirked, but then his door was kicked open again, and the destroyed wall that Raviel's claw destroyed had the sun shining brightly so the man who kicked opened the door was silhouetted. But they could he was wearing a large Jacket trying to be cool.
?: Clyde buddy, Thats just unsportsmanlike. Even you need to have summon honor.
Clyde: ..Y-you!
?: Glad to see you remember me.
The man stepped into the room and everyone could see him a lot more clearly.
Alice: Who are you?...
The man appeared to be in his late 30's, had crimson red hair, was wearing Sunglasses, and Open Coat with a Red Shirt underneath and jeans. He took off his glasses to reveal his azure blue eyes. On his arm he had a Custom duel disk that was an Azure color and Shaped in the form of a Crescent Moon.
?: Asharu Skyler. A Pleasure.
