Yu-Gi-Oh! Renaissance Season 1: Web of Deception

Chapter 1

A gold armored figure sat at a computer within the company the figure was working for; seeking information regarding 2 people that are most important to said figure. The parents. The figure skimmed through the files, only to find nothing. The figure cursed, then stood up from the chair. Memories flooded through the figure's mind.

*Flashback*

"Haha! Hey Mom! Dad! Do you think you could teach the game of Duel Monsters?" The young female girl asked her parents. Her Mother and Father looked at each other, then down at the young girl.

"Yes Pandora sweetie." Her mother told her. "But me and your Father have work to get to.""Humph! You 2 ALWAYS have work!" Young Pandora pouted. "Can't you just call in sick so you can stay home with me?""As much as we'd like to Pandora, we can't." Her father told her.

"We'll be back as soon as we can be." Her mother smiled. "Bye sweetie! Go play with your friends Samantha and Helena!" Before Young Pandora could usher another word, her parents left the house.

*Flashback End*

"Humph. That was more than 10 years ago that they said that." The gold armored figure spoke to herself. She picked up the folders from the desk. "Better bring these to the boss so I can get paid for once." She huffs as she walks out of the room. As she strides down the hallway, a frown forms on her lips. "Then again, considering my own crimes against other companies in hopes to find a truth on a simple matter does explain why I have such a high bounty on my head."

"You got that right, Justice Knight!" Justice Knight paused, taking notice of several guards surrounding her with stun guns pointed at her before she laughed; confusing the guards.

"What are you laughing at?" One guard demanded. "We got you surrounded!"

"You only surround me unless you have a bounty hunter." Justice Knight retorted coolly. The guards flinched slightly, then stepped aside; allowing a purple and green clad armored figure to walk forward.

"Predator…" Justice Knight whispered. Predator didn't respond to Justice Knight's words.

At a company that the letters GU on its top, the letter for the company, GU Corporation, a man sat at his office desk chair on the top floor of the company, computer on, with a shadowed face on the screen.

"It seems according to my...sources that a rival company of yours was attacked by that…..Justice Knight…" The shadowed woman mused. The brown-haired young man wearing CEO clothing that had the letters GU at the top right-hand corner of the shirt nodded at her words.

"Yes I know." He remarked coolly. "I've sent out the best bounty hunter for the job since these attacks have become more common."

"Wonderful!" The shadowed woman clapped. "You're ahead of the game Kuhn! I was about to tell you to send out Predator, but you did it yourself. Good job! I should tell the Boss to give a small raise if you're successful…..this time…."

"Speaking of Predator…." Kuhn pressed a button on his keyboard and new window popped up; showing the confrontation between Predator and Justice Knight. He then set it to share screen so his colleague could see it too. The shadowed woman's lips formed a dark smile at the sight.

"Hahahaha! Excellent!" The shadowed woman laughed darkly. "This will be quite entertaining! Destroy Justice Knight, Predator! And after you do, send Justice Knight to Kuhn so he can send her off to us!" After she finished laughing, she and Kuhn watched as the guards stepped aside to let Predator through; awaiting what was to come next.

"Predator…" Justice Knight whispered. Predator didn't respond to Justice Knight's words for several moments. Eventually, she responded.

"Justice Knight." Predator spoke coldly. "You've caused enough trouble for me, and my boss. Turn yourself in, and no one will get hurt."

"And miss my chance at finding out the truth regarding my parents? Forget it!" Justice Knight snapped. "I've devoted my life to finding out the truth as to why they disappeared! And I won't back down just because some bounty hunter tells me to!" Predator chuckled at Justice Knight's words.

"A stubborn one, eh?" Predator questioned before Predator's lips formed a smile."Fine by me! I loved catching the hunted the hard way anyway!" Predator raises its left arm up; which held a duel disk on it. "You ready to be hunted, Justice Knight?" At Predator's words, Justice Knight chuckled as she raised her left arm up as she and Predator activated their duel disks at about the same time. The guards around them backed way to give the two of them some space to allow the duel to occur.

"I've been hunted since I started my work as mercenary." Justice Knight remarked. "One more bounty hunter like you isn't gonna stop me!"

"We'll see about that!" Predator retorted.

"DUEL!"

"The Predator always takes the first move over its prey!" Predator grinned.

"Fine by me." Justice Knight spoke coolly as she crossed her arms. "So go ahead."

"Oh I will!" Predator shot back as he observed his 5 card hand before pulling a card from his hand. "I'll start by activating the Field Spell, Lair of Darkness!" Upon activation, the entire hallway turned into a dark realm. Justice Knight looked around in confusion.

"What's this?" Justice Knight wondered.

"Let's just say that this is my web for capturing my prey." Predator remarked coolly. "Now all monsters when they hit the field have their attribute(s) changed to DARK!"

Not good! All my monsters are LIGHT. So as long as Lair of Darkness is in play, my Extra Deck is useless if I try using monsters on my field as Materials. Justice Knight thought as she watched Predator play another card.

"I play the Spell card, Pot of Greed. We all know what this does." Predator remarked as he drew 2 cards. He then pulled another card from his hand. "Now for the real fun! I Normal Summon Predaplant Ophrys Scorpio!" A dark green plant monster appeared onto Predator's field. (Predaplant Ophrys Scorpio, Level 3 DARK Plant-type monster, ATK/DEF: 1200/800. Justice Knight's hand: 5 cards. Justice Knight's LP: 4000. Predator's hand: 4 cards. Predator's LP: 4000.)

"Humph. Predaplants." Justice Knight remarked. "Fits someone who calls themselves Predator."

"Glad you think so!" Predator retorted. "But don't get too happy about it because now I use my monster's effect! You see, by discarding 1 monster from my hand, I can Special Summon 1 Predaplant monster from my Deck, except for himself!" A card ejected out of Predator's duel disk before placing it onto the field. "Come forth! Predaplant Darlingtonia Cobra!" A purple flower-like plant monster appeared onto Predator's field, next to Ophrys Scorpio. (Predaplant Darlingtonia Cobra, Level 3 DARK Plant-type monster, ATK/DEF: 1000/1500. Justice Knight's hand: 5 cards. Justice Knight's LP: 4000. Predator's hand: 3 cards. Predator's LP: 4000.) The guards snickered at the fact that Predator was preparing himself for a Fusion Summon.

"Hey Justice Knight!" One guard mocked. "You might as well throw in the towel now! No one has been able to beat Predator after his first Fusion Summon!" At the guard's words, the other guards began to mutter amongst themselves in agreement.

"Quiet!" Predator snapped at the guards; causing them to shut up. After that, Predator turned back to face Justice Knight. "Sorry about that. Now then where was I? Ah yes! Darlingtonia Cobra's effect! When she's Special Summoned via a Predaplant monster, I can add 1 Polymerization or Fusion Spell card from my Deck to my hand!" A card ejected out of her Deck; thus she added it to her hand. (Justice Knight's hand: 5 cards. Justice Knight's LP: 4000. Predator's hand: 4 cards. Predator's LP: 4000.)

Like the guards said, Predator uses Fusion Summoning to overpower her opponents with Predaplants strong Fusion monster assets. Justice Knight thought. Is Predator aiming for a Fusion Summon using those 2 monsters at Fusion Materials? Justice Knight looked at Predator's monster again; taking note of them sharing the same Level of 3. Or is Predator aiming for an Xyz Summon using her 2 Level 3's?

"Humph. You're probably thinking that I'll use my 2 Predaplants either to Xyz Summon or to Fusion Summon; right?" Predator grinned coolly; knowing full well what Justice Knight was thinking, which caused said gold armored female to gasp.

"H-How did you…..?!" Justice Knight breathed in surprise.

"Never mind about that!" Predator retorted as he raised his right arm upwards. "Time for the main event!"

Here it comes! Justice Knight thought. However, much to her, and the guard's surprise, a dark blue circuit appeared above Predator's field.

"What?! Link Summon?!" A guard gaped.

"I didn't expect that!" Another guard added. Shortly after, Predator began to chant.

"Arrowheads confirmed! The Summoning Conditions are 2 Predaplant monsters! I set Predaplant Ophrys Scorpio and Predaplant Darlingtonia Cobra into the Link Markers!" The 2 monsters turned into dark tornados and soared into the Bottom-Left and Bottom-Right Link Markers, which glowed red. "Dark Flower invade your enemy and dispose of them with your vines! Link Summon! Appear Link 2! Predaplant Weedlinga!" Out of the link portal came forth a massive weed plant that landed in the Extra Monster Zone. (Predaplant Weedlinga, attribute: DARK, type: Plant/Link, Link 2, Link Arrows: BL/BR, ATK: 1800. Justice Knight's hand: 5 cards. Justice Knight's LP: 4000. Predator's hand: 4 cards. Predator's LP: 4000.)

"A Link 2 monster…" Justice Knight mused.

"That's right. And like my monster's name suggests, it grows more plants to my field from out of the Graveyard!" Predator grinned as she grabbed 3 cards from her hand. "But first, I set 3 cards." The 3 set cards appeared on the field before vanishing. After that, Predator thrusted her right hand forward. "Now I activate my Link monster's effect! Once a turn, a quick effect mind you, I can pay 1000 LP to Special Summon up to 2 Predaplants from my Graveyard! Return, Ophrys Scorpio and Darlingtonia Cobra!" The 2 plants returned onto his field in Defense Position. "Now that these 2 are back, my Weedlinga gains an extra 600 ATK for each DARK monster(s) on the field, except itself."

"There's 2 DARK monsters on the field." Justice Knight noted. "That means your Weedlinga gains an extra 1200 ATK; putting it at 3000 ATK."

"Correct!" Predator remarked with a sly smile on his lips. "I end my turn. It's your turn now, Justice Knight."

"Yeah." She nodded as she placed her right hand on top of her Deck. "My turn. Draw!" (Justice Knight's hand: 6 cards. Justice Knight's LP: 4000. Predator's hand: 1 card. Predator's LP: 3000.) Justice Knight observed her hand before pulling a card from her hand and revealing it.

"You're not the only one with Fusion Summoning, Predator!" Justice Knight announced. "I too can do it! I activate the Spell card, Holy Link Fusion!" At the announcement of the name of the card, the guards backed up, while Predator held a grin on his face.

"Holy Link Fusion, eh?" Predator spoke. "Interesting! Very interesting!"

"Now normally I'd have to use monsters from either my hand or field as Fusion and Link Materials." Justice Knight explained before she gestured to her card, which glowed a bright blue. "However! If I control no Link monsters, or you control a Special Summoned monster, I can use monsters from my Deck as Fusion and Link Materials!"

"Kuh…!" Predator grit his teeth at that realization. 2 cards ejected from Justice Knight's Deck; thus she revealed them.

"I use Sacred Knight Counterattacker and Sacred Knight Vanguard from my Deck as Link and Fusion Materials to Link and Fusion Summon!" Justice Knight announced as the Link Circuit and Fusion Portal appeared simultaneously above her. Shortly after, Justice Knight began to chant. "Appear the circuit of justice! Arrowheads confirmed! The Summoning Conditions are 2 Warrior monsters! I set Sacred Knight Counterattacker and Sacred Knight Vanguard into the Link Markers! Link Summon! Appear! Link 2! Isolde, Two Tales of the Noble Knights! And rise up the one that bears the power of true justice within her sword! Fusion Summon! Appear now! Level 6! Sacred Knight True Cross!" Out of the 2 portals came forth the respective female warriors. Isolde, Two Tales of the Noble Knights, and Sacred Knight True Cross. Both of them unsheathed their swords and stared their opponent down. (Isolde, Two Tales of the Noble Knights, attribute: DARK (originally LIGHT), type: Warrior/Link, Link Rating: 2, Link Arrows: BL/BR, ATK: 1600. Sacred Knight True Cross, attribute: DARK (originally LIGHT), type: Warrior/Fusion, Level 6, ATK/DEF: 2100/1800. Justice Knight's hand: 5 cards. Justice Knight's LP: 4000. Predator's hand: 1 card. Predator's LP: 3000.)

"Whoa…" A guard breathed.

"She just Summoned 2 monsters simultaneously…." Another guard whispered.

"Isolde, True Cross, and Counterattacker's effects activate!" Justice Knight announced. "Counterattacker's reduces the ATK/DEF of all your monsters by 1000!"

"Tch…!" Predator grunted before grinning. "So what? Even with that decrease, my Weedlinga's ATK is still higher than both of your monsters. 3200 ATK by accurate."

"I'm not done!" Justice Knight continued. "True Cross's effect! I add 1 LIGHT monster and 1 Spell/Trap card from either my Deck or Graveyard to my hand!" 2 cards ejected out of Justice Knight's Deck; thus she added the 2 cards to her hand. In addition, another card ejected from her Deck and she added it to her hand. (Justice Knight's hand: 8 cards. Justice Knight's LP: 4000. Predator's hand: 1 card. Predator's LP: 3000.)

"Not bad adding 3 cards to your hand." Predator noted, slightly impressed. "Even so, it's still not enough to beat me!"

'Is that so?" Justice Knight questioned, a smile on her lips.

"What?"

"I activate the Spell card, Sacred Knight Fusion!" Justice Knight declared as the Fusion card appeared and glowed a bright bluish-green.

"Sacred Knight Fusion…" Predator mused. "You're signature Fusion Spell card…"

"That's right." Justice Knight remarked as she pulled 2 cards from her hand. "I fuse Sacred Knight Squire and Sacred Knight Lancer!" Both monsters turned into yellow streams of energy that began to swirl around in the Fusion Portal. "Arise onto the battlefield the warrior that seeks justice for all! Fusion Summon! Appear now! Level 8! Sacred Knight Blade Master!" Out of the Fusion Portal came forth a grey-armored warrior with a white cloak behind him. He unsheathed his sword and went into an offensive stance. (Sacred Knight Blade Master, attribute: DARK (originally LIGHT, type: Warrior/Fusion, Level 8, ATK/DEF: 4800/4600 (originally 2800/2600). Justice Knight's hand: 5 cards. Justice Knight's LP: 4000. Predator's hand: 1 card. Predator's LP: 3000.)

"Not bad! Due to Blade Master's effect, all Warrior monsters you control gains 1000 ATK/DEF." Predator noted. "But it seems you added Squire via Isolde's effect. Too bad for you. No additional draw for you."

"That's fine by me." Justice Knight remarked coolly.

"Is it?" Predator smirked. "Thanks to Summoning a new monster, you've given my Weedlinga an extra 600 ATK! Meaning her ATK is at 3800!" At Predator's words, Justice Knight smirked.

"Yes. But you also forgot Lancer gives the LIGHT monster I Summoned via him being used as Extra Deck Material for a LIGHT monster gains 1000 ATK/DEF!"

"What?!"

"That puts Blade Master at 4800 ATK!" Justice Knight grinned. "Meaning he's 1000 ATK higher than your Link monster!"

"Uhh Predator?" A guard questioned.

"Hush! I got this." Predator remarked as he thrusted his right hand forward. "Quick-Play Spell activate Predaprime Fusion!" The card flipped face-up.

Predaprime Fusion? Justice Knight thought. That can't be good.

"With this, I can Fusion Summon a Fusion monster from my Extra Deck by using at least 2 of my DARK monsters, along with using any of your monsters! And I must control a Predaplant monster on my field. Which I do!"

"Predaplant Weedlinga…" Justice Knight mused.

"Right!" Predator grinned as he raised his right arm upwards. "Now I fuse away your Isolde with my Ophrys Scorpio and Darlingtonia Cobra!" All 3 monsters soared up into the Fusion Portal and began to swirl blue, red, and yellow. "Deadly flower bloom your many heads and pierce the enemy with your deadly poison! Fusion Summon! Come forth! Level 9! Predaplant Triphyovertum!" Out of the Fusion Portal came forth a massive plant that had 3 flowers growing at the top of its body. (Predaplant Triphyovertum, Level 9 DARK Plant-type Fusion monster, ATK/DEF: 3000. Justice Knight's hand: 5 cards. Justice Knight's LP: 4000. Predator's hand: 1 card. Predator's LP: 3000.) Justice Knight observed the new Fusion monster, as well as Predaplant Weedlinga's ATK, which was 3200.

"Impressive Fusion monster." Justice Knight noted. "But that overgrown plant won't stop me from finding the truth about my parents!"

"Ha! Go ahead and try!" Predator grinned confidently.

Even if I attack Weedlinga, its effect can activate and Predator will be able to revive Ophrys Scorpio and Darlingtonia Cobra. Not only would he get a new Polymerization or Fusion card, but if the last card in his hand is a monster, he can discard it to Special Summon a new monster to his field from his Deck. Meaning Weedlinga's ATK would rise to 5000. But if I don't attack, then he'll be able to counterstrike me on his next turn. In that case… Justice grabbed 3 cards from her hand and set them.

"I end my turn with 3 face-down cards and banish Sacred Knight Squire to add back Sacred Knight Fusion to my hand. Then that'll end my turn." Justice Knight concluded. (Justice Knight's hand: 3 cards. Justice Knight's LP: 4000. Predator's hand: 1 card. Predator's LP: 3000.) "Your move, Predator."

"Hold up! Before your turn officially ends, I activate the Trap, Predaplanning!" Predator spoke as said set card flipped face-up. "With this, I can send 1 Predaplant monster from my Deck to the Graveyard, and if I do, I can place Predator Counters on all face-up monsters you control. If their Levels are 2 or higher, their Levels become 1." A card ejected out of his Deck; thus he sent it to the Graveyard. He then gestured to his Level 9 Fusion monster. "(Predaplant Triphyovertum's effect allows it to gain ATK equal to the combined ATK of the monsters you control that have Predator Counters on them."

"With Blade Master at 4800 ATK and True Cross at 3100 ATK, added onto to your Fusion monster's 3000 ATK, that puts it at 10,900 ATK." Justice Knight frowned deeply.

"That's right!" Predator grinned. "Which means you won't survive my next assault! My turn, draw!" (Justice Knight's hand: 3 cards. Justice Knight's LP: 4000. Predator's hand: 2 cards. Predator's LP: 3000.) She pulled a card out of her Graveyard and revealed it before pocketing it. "During my Standby Phase, I activate the effect of Predaplant Cordyceps in my Graveyard. By banishing him, I can revive 2 Level 4 or lower Predaplant monsters from my Graveyard. Return, Ophrys Scorpio and Darlingtonia Cobra!" Both plants returned to the field. "But for the rest of this turn, I can only Fusion Summon." He chuckles. "Not like that makes a huge difference." Justice Knight stared as Predator added Polymerization from his Deck to his hand via Darlingtonia Cobra's effect. (Justice Knight's hand: 3 cards. Justice Knight's LP: 4000. Predator's hand: 3 cards. Predator's LP: 3000.)

"Tch…!" Justice Knight tsked. "With a total of 6 DARKs on the field, Weedlinga's ATK rises to 4400."

Within Kuhn's office of GU Corporation, he and his colleague watched the duel between Justice Knight and the bounty hunter, Predator. The shadowy woman's lips formed a dark smile.

"Goood!" The shadowy woman laughed darkly. "It won't be long until Justice Knight is defeated!"

I just hope Pandora is somewhere safe and away from this violent duel. Kuhn thought.

"I activate Polymerization!" Predator grinned. "I use it to fuse Predaplants Ophrys Scorpio and Darlingtonia Cobra!" Both monsters flew into the Fusion Portal as red and blue streams of energy. "Two beautiful flowers with an insect-alluring fragrance! Now become one, and from the hell beneath your petals, give birth to a new terror! Fusion Summon! Appear! Poisonous dragon with hungry fangs. Level 8! Starving Venom Fusion Dragon!" Out of the Fusion Portal came forth a very nasty dragon. It roared as it appeared onto Predator's field. (Starving Venom Fusion Dragon, Level 8 DARK Dragon-type Fusion monster, ATK/DEF: 2800/2000. Justice Knight's hand: 3 cards. Justice Knight's LP: 4000. Predator's hand: 2 cards. Predator's LP: 3000.)

"Starving Venom Fusion Dragon…" Justice Knight narrowed her eyes. "Your ace monster…"

'You got that right." Predator grinned. "Upon his Fusion Summon, he'll gain the ATK of your Blade Master! Which is 4800 ATK!" Justice Knight watched as Starving Venom Fusion Dragon absorbed Sacred Knight Blade Master's 4800 ATK; thus putting its ATK at 7600 ATK. Despite 3 monsters on Predator's field having high ATK, Justice Knight's lips formed a smile. Predator and the guards took notice of this, however.

"What're you smilin' about Justice Knight?" A guard demanded.

"Yeah!" Another added. "You're losing, ya know!"

"Humph. Even so, I'm not scared." Justice Knight remarked coolly.

"Perhaps." Predator admitted. "But so what?" He gestured his right hand forward. "Battle!" Starving Venom Fusion Dragon, attack Blade Master" The dragon unleashed a barrage of venom at the warrior that began to disintegrate said warrior; thus destroying it. Justice Knight tsked as the shockwave made her slide backwards a bit. (Justice Knight's LP: 4000 - 2800 = 1200. Justice Knight's hand: 3 cards. Justice Knight's LP: 1200. Predator's hand: 2 cards. Predator's LP: 3000.) Once the smoke cleared, Justice Knight coughed a bit; regaining her composure.

"That's not enough to keep me down!" Justice Knight shouted, determination with her voice. The guards just laughed at her words, but they shut up when Predator gave them death glares. After the guards calmed down, Predator turned back to face Justice Knight.

"Sorry about that." Predator spoke nonchalantly. "Now were was I? Oh yes? I remember now! Predaplant Weedlinga, attack True Cross!" The overgrown weed shot its long leaves at the warrior. It's leaves were as sharp as bladesm, hence why Weedlinga cut through True Cross's armor so easily. The female cried out before exploding; thus creating a shockwave that was powerful enough to knock Justice Knight backwards and make her lose her balance as she hit the cold floor. Luckily for her armor, the impact didn't damage her body as badly as she originally thought. (Justice Knight's LP: 1200 - 1100 = 100. Justice Knight's hand: 3 cards. Justice Knight's LP: 100. Predator's hand: 2 cards. Predator's LP: 3000.)

"That attack certainly should!" A guard laughed. Predator glared at him; thus he shut up. Predator turns back to Justice Knight, who was standing up slowly. He smiled lightly.

"So, you can still stand." Predator noted. "Humph. No matter. Predaplant Triphyovertum, attack Justice Knight directly!" The massive plant launched its leaf blades at Justice Knight; thus slashed her and created an explosion of prickly leaves and dust. "It's over."

"No."

"Hmm?" Predator wondered aloud. Once the smoke cleared, Predator could see Counterattack in Defense Position. "Tsk…! So that's why it was sent to the Graveyard from Holy Link Fusion earlier for your Link and Fusion Summons…!"

"That's right." Justice Knight spoke. "Not only did I take 0 damage from your direct attack, but Counterattack gains ATK/DEF equal to the damage I would have taken. Since the damage would have been 3000, he gains 3000 ATK/DEF!" Sacred Knight Counterattacker glowed as his ATK/DEF rose to 4000 and 4850 respectively. "Not only that, but all 3 of your monsters lose 3000 ATK!"

"No!" Predator gaped. "That means Weedlinga has 200 ATK, Starving Venom and Predaplant Triphyovertum have 0 ATK!"

"That's right!" Justice Knight smiled. "But that's not all! Now you take damage equal to half of Counterattacker's current ATK! Which is 4000! So take 2000 damage!" Counterattacker raised his sword, thus blasting Predator with a beam of yellow energy, which pushed the bounty hunter backwards a bit. (Predator's LP: 3000 - 2000 = 1000. Justice Knight's hand: 3 cards. Justice Knight's LP: 100. Predator's hand: 2 cards. Predator's LP: 1000.)

"Damn you…!" Predator growled. "I activate my last set card, Super Polymerization!" Predator discarded 1 card from his hand. After doing so, both Starving Venom Fusion Dragon and Predaplant Triphyovertum flew into the Fusion Portal of red and blue colors. Justice Knight watched intently as the 2 monsters began to fuse. "Poisonous dragon with hungry fangs! Sweet smelling flower that invites the abyss! Now become one, and indulge in whatever pleases you! Fusion Summon! Come forth! Level 10! Greedy Venom Fusion Dragon!" Out of the Fusion Portal came forth a massive, purple and red dragon with a white underbelly. It roared at Justice Knight in a form of anger. (Greedy Venom Fusion Dragon, Level 10 DARK Dragon-type Fusion monster, ATK/DEF: 3300/2500. Justice Knight's hand: 3 cards. Justice Knight's LP: 100. Predator's hand: 1 card. Predator's LP: 1000.) "I end my turn with a set card. Your move, Justice Knight."

"Upon your End Phase, I activate the Continuous Trap, Holy Wave!" Justice Knight announced as said trap card appeared. "With this, I can Special Summon 1 Sacred Knight monster from either my hand or Graveyard!"

"What?" Predator frowned as a blue armored warrior appeared onto Justice Knight's field. It unsheathed its sword and stood in an offensive stance. (Sacred Knight Vanguard, attribute: DARK (originally LIGHT), type: Warrior, Level 8, ATK/DEF: 2900/2800. Justice Knight's hand: 4 cards. Justice Knight's LP: 100. Predator's hand: 0 cards. Predator's LP: 1000.) Justice Knight thrusted her right hand forward.

"Sacred Knight Vanguard effect!" Justice Knight announced. "If he's Summoned, I can banish 1 card on your field! I choose your Field Spell!"

"No! My Lair!" Predator grit his teeth as his Field Spell vanished; thus returning the area to its original hallway state. Not only that, but it also returned Sacred Knight Vanguard's attribute its original; LIGHT.

"Now that that Field Spell is gone, I don't have to worry about you using your Fusion cards using my monsters as Fusion Materials." Justice Knight smiled. Predator grunted in irritation as Justice Knight gestured to Holy Wave. "Holy Wave effect! I Special Summon back True Cross!" The female armored knight re-emerged onto the field. After that, Justice Knight grabbed a card from her hand. "I now activate Sacred Knight Fusion!"

"Uh-oh…" A few guards gulped. Predator ignored their fear and watched on as Sacred Knights True Cross and Counterattack flew into the Fusion Portal, their colors being red and blue. "Ture cross of justice, knight of counterstriking! Now become one and bring forth the Marshal that shall lead a path to the means of justice! Fusion Summon! Appear now! Level 10! Sacred Knight Marshal!" Out of the Fusion Portal came forth a silver-armored warrior with wings. It unsheathed its sword and went into an offensive stance. (Sacred Knight Marshal, attribute: LIGHT, type: Warrior/Fusion, Level 10, ATK/DEF: 3800/3000. Justice Knight's hand: 3 cards. Justice Knight's LP: 100. Predator's hand: 1 card. Predator's LP: 1000.)

"Sacred Knight Marshal…" Predator mused. "So that's your all powerful ace monster…" Predator's lips formed a sly smile. "Not bad. But! I won't let you defeat me by attacking my Link monster! Trap card activate! Predaguard! Now by releasing Weedlinga, I only take half the damage this turn!"

"Perhaps." Justice Knight admitted. "But regardless, I still am going to win."

"How?" Predator questioned. "If you destroy Greedy Venom Fusion Dragon, he destroys all monsters on the field! Then by banishing 1 Level 8 or higher DARK monster from my Graveyard, I can revive him!"

"Are you sure about that?" Justice Knight smirked.

"What?"Justice Knight revealed a card in her hand, which caused Predator's eyes to widen. "Oh no!"

"Yes! Spell card activate! Monster Reborn!" Justice Knight declared as the warrior re-emerged onto her field. "And because of Blade Master's effect, all my Warrior-type monsters gain 1000 ATK/DEF!"

"N-No….!" Predator breathed in shock. "I lost….?!"

"Of course you lost!" Justice Knight scowled. "Justice for what's right always wins! Battle! Sacred Knight Marshal, attack Greedy Venom Fusion!" The marshal did so and slashed Greedy Venom Fusion vertically. The dragon cried out before it exploded. The shockwave from the attack sent Predator and the guards flying backwards and into the back wall of the corridor. (Predator's LP: 1000 - 1250 (because of Counterattacker reducing Greedy Venom Fusion Dragon's ATK/DEF to 2300/1500 and Sacred Knight Marshal having 4800 ATK because of Sacred Knight Blade Master.) Once the smoke cleared, the guards were knocked out. Predator got up slowly and tsked.

"I couldn't capture you today, Justice Knight." Predator told the female warrior. "But! Just know that I will capture you. Someday I will." Justice Knight nodded.

"I know." Justice Knight remarked as she grabbed the files she needed for her boss off a nearby shelf. "Now if you excuse me, I must be going." Predator watched as Justice Knight left the building.

Within Kuhn Tokuoka's office of GU Corp, he and the shadowy lady on the call had watched the whole duel. After several moments of silence, the shadowy lady spoke up.

"It seems that Predator has failed…." The shadowy lady noted.

"Indeed." Kuhn sighed.

"No matter. I have something else in mind to get Justice Knight off this simple of finding her precious parents…."

"Oh?"

"You'll see…" The shadow lady replied soothingly sadistic before ending the call.

"$300?!" Pandora, a young adult woman that wore her long black hair down, has brown eyes, and is wearing casual work clothes (a collared shirt and dressy pants) as she stood across from her mercenary job boss, who sat at his desk. "Do you have any idea how long it took me to get this data for you?!"

"Look Pandora, I hired you to get the job done. I don't care how long it takes you or what gets in your way." Her boss replied coolly. "Considering your history with mercenary jobs, you should consider yourself lucky I'm not taxing this $300 so you get lower money. Now, take your $300 and get out. I have no further tasks for you."

0713MM: Yup! Main Female Protagonist here!^^ So I thought I'd try something different than the usual Main Male Protagonist like the writers of Yu-Gi-Oh! do and never really give the Main Female Leads a chance to be up to par with their show's respective Main Male Protagonist. (Unlike some shows that do give Main Female Characters a chance... *cough cough* Cardfight Vanguard. Which is great on them honestly.^^ Might even try watching some of the Cardfight Vanguard anime too.^^)
