Time To Answer The Reviews:

Ken Valbrandur: It sure is getting out of hand quickly for everyone, including the Knights Of Hanoi, as yeah Kitamura's AIs were destroyed in seconds. I love making references after references.

Ken Valbrandur (Chapter: 17.): Thanks, and I think I did a good job making differences for Gore and Genome, especially for Genome since I do think that Krawlers suit him decently. Only Baira will have the same deck, but with more Virus monsters, as Faust will play Worm in this series.

Quiet. The word that was best described in this situation as the rest of the Knights Of Hanoi aka Varis, Specter, Baira and Faust, were at a place which Kiyoshi Kogami designed if the Commanders and Specter ever lose in their mission where the defeated Knights lay on an altar as their avatars rest on them most likely for the rest of time in a way to remember them for their efforts and to pay their respects.

Varis was at the top of the staircase, Specter was at the bottom of the staircase while Faust and Baira were at Genome's side looking at the comatose Knight, with saddened eyes and yes, that does include Varis as the remaining Hanoi were behind them, but there weren't many of them.

Varis began, "We are here to pay our respects to our fallen comrade, Genome of the Commanders of The Hanoi. He was a man of many things. Science, dueling, research, replicating viruses, lover of escape rooms, but more important thing, he was a man of honour." he said as he took a break.

He continued, "Even as a man with a rather… unique trait of dissecting people, he still holds a sense of honour of never cheating in any sense and would be a man of his word, even when replicating a virus, he still holds pride in what he does, which is admirable to any human. Now… allow us to have a moment of silence for our fallen Lieutenant, Commander and comrade." said Varis as all of the Knights bowed their heads.

It lasted for a few minutes, not one person raising their heads until they were ordered otherwise without even opening their eyes.

They then began to think about the memories of their fallen Knight Of Hanoi, as even though he was rather annoying at times and could be creepy, to Varis, he was still a person that he deeply cared for and respected for as he honestly felt like an older brother to him.

Specter didn't know Genome or cared about him like the others, but there were still massive amounts of respect he had for him as the same could be said with Varis, but to a much lesser extent as it was expected for a person he didn't knew as much as the others.

Baira and Faust on the other hand?

It was tough to see their comrade, fellow doctor and scientist and friend. They were there when they were looking at the ideas about the Lost Incident, they were there when Kiyoshi and King proposed the idea of it, and he was there when they needed him the most, and to see him in that state.

In a state where he was almost dead, was something that just can't be comfortable to look, see or even think about, and the fact that they were next to them was unnerving, which was completely understandable.

Not to mention they weren't sure how would Alexander Kirimoto would react to that, or more commonly known as, King from SOL Tech, his elder brother. They aren't sure if he was ecstatic, sad or, most likely, not even troubled in the slightest of his younger brother in this state which made them angry.

But they didn't show it, as their feelings were mutual across the other Knights of Hanoi, for their fallen comrade.

Varis then raised his head, "Thank you for your time. Now, let's pay our respects towards Genome." he said as he walked over to the altar towards the fallen Knight and placed his hand on his forehead and nodded.

"Genome, thank you for your hard work. I promise. Your fall will help us rise to our victory with us getting more knowledge about our enemies, as I swear we will avenge you." thought to himself Varis as he walked back a few feet and allowed the others to pay their respects.

First it was Baira and Faust because they were the closest ones to him, then Specter as he nodded his head in a solemn way and then the others did as well, but not with as much as respect as the other 4.

After they paid their respect, the attention was brought back to Varis, "Thank you all for coming in this time and place, for our fallen comrade, this funeral has been finished, you are all free to log out." he said as the other Knights of Hanoi logged off with a nod while Specter, Baira and Faust stayed there.

Faust looked at the leader of The Hanoi. "Master Varis, we would like to continue paying our respects towards Genome, if that is alright with you?" he asked.

Varis looked at the two and nodded, "Permission granted. You two can stay as much as you want to while Specter and I continue to work on our project, in fact, take the day off, you two deserve it." he said as Baira looked at him and smiled.

"Thank you, Master." she said as the two strongest members of the Knights Of Hanoi nodded as they logged into a different room as Faust and Baira continue to stare at the defeated Commander with sorrow on their faces. "I hate this."

Faust looked at her, "The project or that he is defeated. Even so, I share the thoughts as well." he said with a serious tone as Baira didn't move her gaze from Genome.

"I… just hate that we are attacking innocent civilians and even children, for this project, and the end result is… not humane in any sense of the world." said Baira as Faust nodded with every single thing she said.

"I understand. Truthfully, the idea of using the same virus from a girl that we put into a coma is sickening. Quite possibly, the most disgusting thing we have ever done." said Faust.

"That was the moment I had actually thought about not doing, but… my loyalty stays with the Knights of Hanoi, especially Master Varis." she said with Faust feeling the same way. Both of them hate what they are doing, but they have to, because they were loyal.

To him.

Not to his father, but to his son.

"My feelings are mutual, but I do have to ask… do you still have the antidote?" asked Faust as she stayed her gaze on Genome as she nodded.

"Yeah, I am the one with the antidote for everyone that has fallen to the Deleted, but once I do release the antidote…" her gaze hardened as Faust understood what she meant by that.

"Understood. I just hope we finish this and get the Fire Ignis before it starts." said Faust with his narrowed eyes as Baira turned to him and smiled.

"Yeah, me too." she said as both of them logged off.

The Next Day

It was currently the next day of when Gore defeated one of the Lieutenants, Genome, in a duel with his new XYZ monster, Gouki The Undertake Ogre, as he got an antidote and even got into Soulburner's team of taking down the Hanoi with a slightly different look which they didn't mind.

Gore's popularity skyrocketed as his fame was as good, if not better, than when he was the Number 1 Celebrity Duelist in Link VRAINS, as there were on the news about the new monster, Into The Gossip was talking about a new alliance between him and SOL Tech's greatest targets and even a meme of when he won the duel, as at first pretty funny, but it quickly became stale.

Like all memes towards Flame.

As currently, they were on there trying to get some information about the data, virus and the antidote from the current Knights of Hanoi, but from what they don't know is that there were 5 of them in total that weren't defeated or the strongest of the strongest.

As they are currently defeating almost every duelist in their way.

The Knight with pink lining yelled, "Armed Dragon LV7, crush him!" he yelled as Armed Dragon LV7 threw a massive ball of lightning towards a male duelist that had a Steamroid on the field as he disappeared into data as he yelled.

The Knight with brown lining yelled, "Legendary Six Samurai - Shi En, slash her!" he yelled as his Synchro monster's blade turned into a black coated as it charged directly towards Blade Armor Ninja as the female duelist as she yelled turning into data.

The Knight with green lining yelled out, "Archlord Kristya, blast her!" he yelled as his Fairy monster's hand turned glowing with yellow energy as it charged directly towards The Legendary Fisherman III making the female duelist fly towards the Data Storm.

The Knight with red lining yelled, "Sky Striker Ace - Kagari, cut him!" he yelled as his Warrior went straight towards a duelist's Jinzo as it was cut open perfectly in half as the boy was sent flying away while screaming, turning into data.

After the 4 duelists were defeated and were flown off into the data, the 4 Knights of Hanoi went around each other as they began to laugh, "HAH! That was easier than taking candy from a baby!" yelled the Knight with the red lining.

"You said it, Steve! I had a harder time taking care of my nan' than dueling these chumps!" yelled the one with brown lining.

"Tell them how it is, Geoff! And thanks to these cards given to us by Master Varis, we are undefeatable!" yelled the Knight with pink lining as The Knight with green lining.

"I couldn't agree with you more, Ben! I never thought these cards would be perfect for me, but hey! I managed to defeat so many noobs with this deck!" said The Knight with green lining as Geoff looked at him.

"Please, Bob, I took way more noobs than you! The last guy was so scrawny, he looked like a Kuriboh!" said Geoff as Ben shook his head.

"Dude, don't insult the Kuriboh like that!"

"Ahh sorry, didn't want to insult the popular monster." Geoff dropped his head.

"It is okay bro, but don't do that again. Especially when we have new bait." said Steve as they turned their attention to a massive teddy bear running into an alley. All 4 of the Knights grew new sadistic grins to each other as they began to fly off…

…was what I would've said if Ben's arm with the duel disk didn't get caught by a rope that was connecting himself to Stormrider that was silently behind them the entire time.

"No, I don't think that would work here, so please put your arms up and let's duel!" he yelled as Ben smirked as both of them readied their duel disks.

As Geoff and Bob tried to get to the teddy bear, two of the familiar figures popped up, that being Soulburner, who quickly got to them by his hoverboard, and Frostgirl, who jumped from the roof.

Soulburner waved his finger, "Nuh uh uh! Sorry, bud, but I am afraid I can't let you do that!" he said with Flame repeating the same moves as his partner.

"Especially since both of you are in a dueling position, so take your decks out and get set to get decked!" yelled Frostgirl as both Geoff and Bob grinned as they readied their duel disks.

"Sure thing, Ma'am, and Master Varis would be so glad to learn that we defeated you!" yelled Geoff.

"Yeah, we might even get a new position in the Knights of Hanoi, so put your paws up for a duel!" said Bob as the four started to have a duel.

Steve was the only one of the Knights that weren't being chased for a duel so he went straight towards the teddy bear as its back was on a corner as he had a pleading look on his face, which amused the Knight of Hanoi to no end, "Aww, what is the matter? Scared? Because you don't have Ichigo and Rukia with you? Don't be. How about I give you a hug?" he said as he walked towards the poor stuffed animal.

But like the stuffed animal from Bleach, it wasn't a force to be reckoned with, as the bear smirked, "Sure, why not?" which sounded familiar as Steve's eyes widened as he saw the avatar change from a teddy bear to The Gore.

This time, with a scarf around his neck that had yellow tips on both ends while the main part was brown. Steve's eyes widened.

"Oh shit." he said as he turned around, trying to make a run for it, but unfortunately from him, he had two massive arms wrapped around his entire body lifted up, like he was about to get hit with a German Suplex.

"What's the matter?! I thought you wanted a hug?! So I am giving you one! A bear hug!" The Gore yelled as hugged the life out of Steve.

After a few minutes, the duels were wrapping around quickly.

Soulburner used his Salamangreat Violet Chimera to burn the Sacred Arch-Airknight Parshath to a crisp.

Frostgirl had her Nekroz of Brionac slash up the Great Shogun Shien in half.

Stormrider had his Fire King High Avatar Garunix burn Armed Dragon Thunder LV7 to living ashes as it hit the Knight of Hanoi. As then they realized one problem with that… it sent all of them flying to the Data Storm and they were turned into data, not getting any information or intel out of them which they realized was a bad idea not to make any more rope.

Soulburner looked at what they had done, "That… wasn't very smart of us to do that." said Soulburner as the three nodded along with what he said.

"Yeah, not our brightest moment." said Frostgirl as Stormrider cursed up a storm as he should've made more rope to catch them so they can get some information out of them.

"I do wonder something though…" Flame placed a hand under his chin as he began to think about something "How is Gore handling this situation?" he asked as they then turned to the sound of CRUNCH! coming from an alley.

They widened their eyes when they began to think about a certain situation and that may or may not be about the idea of him killing the Knight. They quickly rushed to the sound of the noise as they turned Gore, planting his foot on the defeated body of the Knight, as he looked like Yamcha after being blown up.

They rushed towards him, "Did you kill him?!" asked Stormrider frantically with a wide expression as Gore looked at him surprised at what he heard.

"WHAT?! Of course not! I just squeezed the life out of him so he could tell us some information and now that I think about it, that sounded horrible out of context." said Gore as he turned towards Steve and knelt down, "You are not dead, are you? Please say no."

"I don't think dead bodies can speak, Gore." said Flame as Gore began lightly smacking the face of the defeated Knight Of Hanoi as he slowly opened his eyes and saw the face of the man that nearly killed him.

"Oh you aren't, thank goodness, I really didn't want to go to jail." they all gave him weird expressions, "What?"

They shook their heads at that, as they turned their attention to the defeated Knight, "Tell us, who is the reason of the Deleted and how we can get an antidote for this?" asked Frostgirl with a glare as Steve looked at her and gulped.

"Alright, I will tell you. Her name is-"

"And bye." said Baira who was looking at the footage the entire time as she swiped the footage of the certain Knight Of Hanoi as then the defeated Knight Of Hanoi began screaming in pain as he turned into data.

There was silence in Link VRAINS.

"Well that happened." said Soulburner as the rest looked at what happened in shock.

"Man… whoever is doing this really wants to keep their name a secret." said Stormrider as he folded his arms.

"True, but at least we now know her gender at least, so there is a start." said Frostgirl as Flame nodded with her.

"That is correct as so far we know it isn't Varis, or the defeated members of the Hanoi like Genome, so it must be…" his eyes widened when he saw that red haired woman in Link VRAINS with the other two Commanders as well, he remembered how the antidote looked like. He narrowed his eyes as he was silent trying to think about how they could get the knowledge about her.

"Well if we didn't get the information from that guy, we can at least use information from the other 3." as soon as Gore said that, Soulburner, Frostgirl and Stormrider began sweating. "...Right?"

Soulburner nodded, "Aw, yeah, for sure, fo- sure." he said nervously.

"We definitely didn't lose them, no never." Frostgirl gulped as Stormrider had a nervous smile on his face.

"How could you assume that from us? I thought we were buddies." said Stormrider as Gore looked unimpressed.

"They were turned into data before you asked, didn't they?" asked Gore simply as the three, sans Flame since he was still thinking about it, were silent.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh- LOOK BLUE ANGEL IS BEHIND YOU!" yelled Frostgirl as she pointed at Gore.

"Really? I know for a fact that if she was, she would either A. prank me by scaring me or B. making everyone know that she is there as she can't be silent to save her life."

Suddenly, Skye Zaizen sneezed as she was eating spaghetti with Akira as her brother looked at her, a little bit confused. "Someone must be talking about me."

Back to our group, they all looked at Gore as they sighed, "Okay, fine. Yeah." said all three of them as Gore sighed as he shook his head.

"How am I the competent one in this group?" Gore said as he sighed, "Sorry for that, but I am afraid that this is getting late and I am starving, so… same time tomorrow?" he asked as the three nodded with Gore.

"Yeah, sure."

"That sounds fine."

"Works with me." said Soulburner, Frostgirl and Stormrider all at the same time as Gore nodded.

"Okay, cool! See ya three." he said as all 4 of them logged off at the same time as Flame continued to think about something… something that could work in their favour.

INTRO!

(A/N: Play Haruka Mirai From Black Clover)

We see six different Ignis flying around the Cyberse, all with their accompanying archetypes, with Flame escaping the Cyberse in the hands of Theodore Hamilton as a second later, his appearance changed that of Soulburner as he began walking slowly with a determined look on his face. As then a Duel Monsters card appeared on the screen which was flipped over to reveal the words, "Bring The Heat, Soulburner!"

Grey words can't make anything happen

We then see Theodore facing backwards to a boy with silver hair and blue eyes, but was 2 years older than him as they both raised their heads, as they turned to Soulburner and Varis as they turned around as Salamangreat Heatleo and Borreload Dragon striked each other at the same time.

I know, yeah I know

Soulburner covered his face from the dust of the explosion as Varis was floating above him as he went flying on his duel board.

Wishing to fly freely across the sky

Soulburner then began to chase him with a duel board of his own with a determined face.

I dreamed it all my life

Once he got close, he somehow managed to dodge an attack from Specter's Sunavalon monsters as the Lieutenants of the Hanoi were along with him.

Step by step I go, though it's a doubtful world! Don't care how much I fall! Instinct is my guide, I never give up!

As soon as they appeared, Frostgirl, Stormrider and the Gore appeared with him to assist him in this match as Soulburner grinned ear to ear as they each faced one of the Knights of Hanoi, with Gore fighting Genome with his Gouki Suprex and Riscorpio as Genome had X-Kralwer Neurogos, Frostgirl having out her Nekroz Of Trishula on the field while Baira had her Dark Mummy Surgical Forceps, Stormrider with his Cerulean Sacred Phoenix Of Nephthys against Faust's Worm Zero as Soulburner passed Specter as his scarf hit the screen as a new transition was made.

To faraway future, I burst out running

We then see Soulburner flying on a duel board as then Stormrider and Frostgirl were near them, both with grins on their faces as Frostgirl winked Soulburner whose face flushed red for some time as then Flame appeared as he began flying with fire on his feet.

Go beyond even the unseen fears

Gore was then seen on a ring with his Gouki The Undertake Ogre with the kids looking excited with stars in their faces as he left out a dramatic roar for the audience.

The vision I had, so I can be myself

Akira was then seen with a determined face as he held a picture of his younger sister when she was younger as he then gritted his teeth. He looked down as tears went down his face as he remembered their past.

Someday I will write the next page

Ghost Gal then appeared with a saddened face as she saw Akira, as then the man raised walked towards the data bank of SOL Tech.

You are my hope

He then turned around as he saw Soulburner coming near them.

Like that page from someday

Soulburner then summoned out Salamangreat Miragestellio and Pyro Phoenix as Akira summoned out Tindangle Acute Cerberus as the two monsters clashed.

I was able to meet you

While the battle was commencing, Frostgirl watched the duel with a concerned face, but Stormrider's face wasn't shown as well as tears went down his face.

I call this a miracle.

We then see Kiku and Theodore with their arms opened towards Seigen as Flame was carrying the same motion as he had tears in his eyes as he then smiled as he fell to their embrace. Then a new screen was made as Theodore, Flame, Kiku and Seigen were smiling at the screen with Varis looking at them with his back turned against them with a wicked smile on his face.

BRING THE HEAT, SOULBURNER! - THE KNIGHTS OF HANOI!

(A/N: End Theme.)

It was currently the next day after they defeated most of the Knights of Hanoi as what they didn't know, that was almost half of what they currently have left, so it means that they have Varis, his right hand man, 2 Commanders and a regular Hanoi, as it was currently a Wednesday.

Which meant the following, walk upstairs for Chemistry, then go downstairs for History, have Biology, then a 20 minute break as they heard Flame giving them an idea on what to do after school which they were interested in with them eating their lunch and food, with Seigen downing a half liter of energy drinks which Kiku still thought wasn't healthy in the slightest, then have 2 rounds of English classes, 1 Math and then finally Geography class, which all and all, a pretty pactful day.

Then they began walking back home, sometimes hating the fact that Theodore is the only that can drive a vehicle, but hates driving all together because his grandparents forced him to do it, as they walked into a place that keeps all the noise to themselves: Seigen's apartment.

What was Flame's idea exactly? Well it was something along the lines of this:

Look up the data about all of the antidote that Gore was given and the one that Theodore got when he had to cure Kiku since there were still scraps of the data inside of their duel disks.

Then look up the data about Kiku's virus that put her into a coma, then for the Deleted, search up any of the patients both from Mustafu City and Den City.

And for good measure, look up the camera footage of when she was in a coma to see what was going on and even if it was hard to get or blocked, Seigen could fix that part when he was only 12.

So Seigen began to move, quickly and with as much accuracy as humanly possible as he began to look up a couple of data around the two duel disks with even him asking Gore for couple of data so he could research it, which the Gouki duelist sent them as he knew he could trust them, as Seigen began to match the files and then their eyes widened.

It was a perfect match.

He then shook his head as they were stunned from what they have seen, but that didn't allow them to stop, so Seigen began to research the data about Kiku when she was in a coma, which she felt uncomfortable to remember this part, but Theodore assured her that it will be okay which calmed her down, even just a little bit, then to the kids from the hospitals.

They were perfect matches as well.

That terrified them to their core… they used the same virus that mentally, emotionally and even physically scarred them as a way to do the same thing to the other children and duelists: The innocent duelists that never did anything wrong?

The one where it felt like you were dead, but at the same time alive. The one where you felt nothing, but everything. The one were you feeling every bit of emotions you had, but at the same time, nothing?

They were using the same virus?

Kiku was… angered. Frustrated. Pissed off to no ends and everyone felt the same way.

How could they even imagine doing the same thing, the same exact thing to her, to others?

That was… the most disgusting thing they could imagine and the fact that a human could do something to another, it was just sickening to even hear about that.

But there was one thing they had to know.

How did they manage to get the same virus and antidote, which Seigen had to know, as he began to search the exact date on when that happened, that incident, as Theodore gripped his hand into a ball just thinking about that incident as they realized that it was blocked, which Seigen smirked at.

As the boy of Wind began typing away, going as fast as they could possibly even imagine as then they reviewed the footage, and what they saw, shocked them to their very core.

She took a syringe and placed it on her skin and began to suck up the blood as then she walked off, which was the end of that footage.

…they used her. Not once, but twice.

They used Kiku's blood for the Deleted.

That was the straw that broke the camel's back as she was pissed off to no end, and rightfully so, as she slowly, at a snail's pace which to everyone around them was terrifying, turned around her head to her boyfriend and best friend as Flame wanted to walk off.

"Can I curse?" she asked so simply and it was why it was scary.

To hear Kiku Kamishirakawa swear is like being held at gunpoint.

It was legitimately the most terrifying scenario a human could think of, as the two slowly nodded their heads, not wanting to feel her wrath.

"Thank you." she said with a smile as she suddenly jumped from the couch with a face filled with rage, "I AM GOING TO COBBLE THAT BITCH!" she yelled to the heavens as Theodore and Seigen hugged each other as Flame looked at her.

He raised his hand, very slowly being fearful for his little life, "Yo-You mean clobber, right? To cobble is to make a shoe." he pointed out as Kiku looked at Flame as he went into his eye form.

"Okay, good point." she coughed into her hand as she began, "I am going to cobble up some boots SO I CAN KICK HER ASS!" she then stared at Flame, "Flame."

Flame stood up as he looked at her wrathful eyes, "Ye-yeah?"

"Go to my duel disk. Now." she said with venom in her voice, but not at Flame or anything.

"Yes, Ma'am." he said simply, not wanting to die in her arms, as he went downwards, as then he appeared on her duel disk.

"Thank you, Flame." she said as she placed her duel disk on her arm as she yelled out, "It's Time To Link Into VRAINS!" Kiku yelled as she logged in Link VRAINS.

There was silence in the living room area as Seigen and Theodore were quiet.

"So… are you going to stop her?" asked Seigen.

"Fuck no, I don't want to die."

"Same." they said as they put on the channel where the duels in Link VRAINS are currently being broadcasted.

In Link VRAINS

Frostgirl appeared as Flame was in her duel disk. She was quiet as she was on her hoverboard as Flame was at the mercy of this woman so he was just quiet, as he wasn't expecting to hear Frostgirl yell at the top of her lungs, "OI! KNIGHTS OF HANOI! IF YOU WANT THE IGNIS! COME AND GET ME! ESPECIALLY THE ONE WITH THE ANTIDOTES!"

Now, Flame would yell at her for that, but looking at her vengeful eyes proves that would be suicide so he was quiet.

As then, a portal appeared which from it appeared, Baira, one of the Lieutenants of Knights Of Hanoi as she requested it for her to duel her which Varis allowed it, so she was going to be the one to duel.

"Ask and you shall receive," said Baira as she was on her red hoverboard as Frostgirl became calmer when she saw her, "Now, why did you call for me?"

"Because of one reason," Frostgirl pointed at Baira, "I know that you are responsible for the Deleted! And you are the one with the antidotes! Not to mention… you are the one that used me as the source of the Deleted, so of course I want to duel you!"

Baira merely raised an eyebrow at that, "Really? If so, if I am, why should I accept this challenge? You are merely a child and even with your skills, they don't come close to mine." she said as both of them knew it was a fact, but in Frostgirl, there was a fire in her that knew that she had to face this right here and now, as she won't stop here.

"I know that, but I want to stop this whole Deleted situation for good! As I have a proposition!" she yelled as Baira raised an eyebrow.

"And that is?" she asked with an interested look on her face as she saw the Fire Ignis in her duel disk.

"If you win, you will get Flame aka your main target of this whole situation, but if I win, you will give the antidote to everyone that is a part of the Deleted!" she yelled. Flame should really get used to being gambled away in duels.

Baira was silent, as she knew that even with the unlikely chances of her losing this duel, if she uses the antidotes on everyone, Varis has no choice, but to turn her into data, but she has no other choice.

"I accept this offer, as I, Baira, will defeat you for the sake of the Knights of Hanoi and my fallen comrades!" she pointed her finger as she readied her duel disk.

Both of them looked at each other as they both yelled, "DUEL!" as Varis, Specter, Faust, Gore, Theodore and Seigen watched the duel.

Starting the Speed Duel off.

Baira: 4000 lp

Frostgirl: 4000 lp

Speed Duel!

Turn 1.

"I will begin!" yelled Baira as she swiped her hand as she then looked at her hand. She saw cards that are going to help her in her next turn, not to mention in the very next turn as well, as she has the perfect combo in her mind.

"I will start by normal summoning Giant Germ in attack mode!" she yelled as then on her side of the field appeared a rather unsettling image of a massive ball of nothing, but atoms, as around it were dirt all around the monster as it was a ball of germs.

(Giant Germ: Level 2 - Dark Fiend - Attack: 1000. Defense: 100.)

"Wait, Giant Germ? From the early parts of the game?"

"How interesting." said both Theodore and Seigen at the same time as Frostgirl narrowed her eyes.

"Something is up, I can feel it." she thought to herself as Flame tried to think of a reason why she would summoned that type of monster.

"I will then end my turn by setting a card facedown." she said as then a card was then set vertically behind the massive ball of germs, right before it disappeared.

(A/N: Play Yusei Theme.)

Turn 2. Frostgirl - 4000 lp - 4 cards

A card then appeared on the top of her duel disk, "My turn. I draw!" she yelled as she drew the card that appeared on her duel disk as then she swiped her hand to reveal her new hand, revealing a couple of cards that support her Ice Barrier deck and her Synchro Strategy.

Flame then looked at it and nodded, "Hmm, interesting hand you got there, Frostgirl. Your hand is perfect for any Synchro Strategy you may want to make, with even getting some resources back to your hand."

"Thanks, Flame, this hand is pretty good for a starting one." she said as Flame thought about a combo as he realized that it would be perfect to add a certain Spell card.

"I have an idea about one of your combos, and that is to add Medallion when you summon one of your Generals." he said as Frostgirl nodded.

"Alright! Not a bad idea at all, so the first move I choose is to summon Hexa Spirit of The Ice Barrier!" as then on her side of the field appeared a small lizard which anyone with a soul would think was the most adorable little thing they have ever seen in their entire life, as the bottom part of the body was beige while the top part had scales and was blue, with green eyes and yellow and black armour.

(Hexa Spirit Of The Ice Barrier: Level 1 - Water Sea Serpent - Tuner - Attack: 400. Defense: 200.)

"Now that is not all! You see, if you control a monster and I control an Ice Barrier monster, I can special summon the newest recruit of the Ice Barriers! General Wayne of The Ice Barrier!" she yelled as then a monster of pure power appeared on her field.

It was a warrior that had a small sword in his palm which the shieft were like ice brass knuckles, as he wore baggy black pants, as he had an impressive build as his cape was torn off and had a purple colouring to it as his armour and gauntlets were icy blue, as he wore a red scarf with a frozen helmet.

(General Wayne Of The Ice Barrier: Level 5 - Water Warrior - Attack: 2100. Defense: 400.)

Flame pushed his arm forward, "When he is summoned in any way, we can add 1 Ice Barrier Spell or Trap card from our deck!" a card then appeared from her deck.

"And the card I will add is my Medallion Of The Ice Barrier!" she yelled out as she revealed her Spell card and then let her have that card in her hand as she didn't have any use of it, for now as she then grinned.

"Now it is time for my Synchro Summon!" as then everything turned black and white, with only thing being coloured was her green eyes as she pushed her hand forward, "I tune my Level 1 Hexa Spirit Of The Ice Barrier with my Level 5 General Wayne of the Ice Barrier!"

As then her Hexa Spirit turned into 1 Gate as General Wayne went through them as he then began to become 5 stars with a transparent body.

1 + 5 = 6!

She then began to chant, "Appear, the monster coming from the storm of Absolute Zero as your fangs rip through the enemies' skin! I Synchro Summon! Dewloren, Tiger King Of The Ice Barrier!"

As then on her side of the field appeared a familiar monster as the monster was a tiger of the north, as it had sharp claws that would tear through his enemies, as the fur of this majestic beast was blue and white, as it wore a black and gold armour with on the shoulders were massive spikes of of ice, and gauntlets around each of its legs.

(Dewloren, Tiger King Of The Ice Barrier: Synchro - Level 6 - Water Beast - Attack: 2000. Defense: 1400.)

Baira wasn't shocked the least the way it was summoned or how she did it so quickly, as while it was slightly impressive, it didn't quite match up to the skills of her, as she will soon find out.

Two cards appeared on Frostgirl's hands as she then said, "I will set two cards face down." she said as two cards were set vertically behind Dewloren, but then they quickly disappeared.

"Now… Battle! Dewloren, Tiger King of The Ice Barrier attacks your Giant Germ! Frozen Crunch!" she yelled at the top of her lungs as her monster's teeth then became that of ice as it then charged directly at Giant Germ, as Baira smirked.

(A/N: End Theme, but play Sad Duel.)

"Thank you… because you activated my Trap!" she then revealed her Trap card as then everyone that were watching this duel, sans Varis who grinned, gasped, yes even Specter and Faust. Varis grinned as he was the one who gave her the idea of adding those cards into her deck.

The card that was activated by her was none other than… Crush Card Virus.

One of the most popular Trap cards to date, not to mention one of the most deadliest, as when it first came out, it was a force to be reckoned with as it destroyed almost all strategies. They thought the card became so popular that they were hard to find, but now?

It was used by the Knights of Hanoi, "With this, I target a Dark monster with 1000 or less attack points and if it is destroyed, you have to destroy all of the 1500 or more attack points from your hand, field and deck!" she yelled as her Giant Germ looked even more sickly as possible as when Dewloren bit into it, it was split in two and was so poisonous that it fell to the ground, disappearing into nothing, but data.

Frostgirl gritted her teeth as she discarded Nekroz Of Trishula from her hand, as then what felt like half of her deck then popped out of her duel disk to which she took them and placed them all in her graveyard slot.

"I am not done! Since Giant Germ was destroyed by battle, I can special summon 2 copies of the same monster that was just destroyed!" she yelled as then from the Giant Germ that was destroyed, came out 2 of the same monsters, but smaller.

(Giant Germ: Level 2 - Dark Fiend - Attack: 1000. Defense: 100.) x 2

"Not to mention, you lose 500 life points from the destroyed Giant Germ's effect!" yelled Baira as Flame pointed at her.

"Don't forget that you lose life points from the battle!" he yelled as both of them glew blue for a bit as they grunted.

Baira: 4000 - 3000 lp

Frostgirl: 4000 - 3500 lp

Despite having the life point advantage, everyone knew that Baira was in the lead as not only does she have monsters on the field, but her hand is bigger and managed to cut down so much monsters from Frostgirl's deck, that it was mostly made out of small Tuners, Spells and Traps.

She breathed in and out, "I end my turn." she said as she knew that she couldn't do anything about her current situation.

(A/N: End Theme, but Play Duel With Anger.)

Turn 3. Baira - 3000 lp - 2 cards

Baira scoffed, "Looks like your monsters got a little sick, wouldn't you say? As you can no longer summon any other powerful monsters that you can control, but trust me when I say this that this was just the start of this pain you are going to perceive." a card appeared on the top of her duel disk as she then placed her hands on them, "My turn. I draw!" she yelled as she drew the top card of her deck.

She looked at her hand and saw it was made out of nothing, but 2 Traps and 1 Spell card which on the surface was a bad thing, but since she wasn't using any ordinary deck, this was actually a great combo to have, especially with this Spell card of hers.

But first, since she knows that her monsters have little amount of attack points, she knew that those monsters weren't exactly the most powerful, as she has a way around it, which she would love to use about now as data appeared around her hands, "I will start by suturing my circuit!"

She threw her hand into the air as then a massive circuit appeared on the top of the field as she said, "The Summoning Conditions are 2 Fiend monsters, so I set my 2 Giant Germs in the Link Arrows!" she yelled at the top of her lungs as the two massive germs then flew faster than usual as one of them went to the top and the other at the bottom.

"As the deathly ill patient is in need of surgery, a monster with the right weapon will surely be able to help them out! I Link Summon! Dark Mummy Stretcher!" she yelled at the top of her lungs as then from the circuit appeared a new monster as the monster was like a grotesque creature that wielded power just by existing.

Its skin was a dark blue colour that didn't look healthy, hell, it looked sickly. While it didn't wear the standard doctor uniform, it did however wore a face mask that went around her ears, as she wore a black torn off dress that went around her left shoulder, as her hair went down to her shoulders as it was a green coloured monster, as the eyes were orange, as the arms themselves were that of stretchers as her arms, legs, chest and even parts of her neck were covered in brown dirty paper.

(Dark Mummy Stretcher: Link - Dark Fiend - Attack: 2000. Link-2. Link Arrows: Top-Left and Bottom-Middle.)

Everyone looked at the monster with caution as it was the first real monster that she summoned that had a name that they haven't heard ever, but they have to be careful because they don't know what would happen next in this turn.

A card popped out of her duel disk, "When she is Link Summoned, I get to add either a Virus Trap card or a Dark Mummy monster from my deck straight to my hand, and I think I will add a Virus Trap card!" she said as she took a card that appeared on the top of her duel disk as it disappeared.

"Frostgirl." said duelist looked at the Fire Ignis who had his hands crossed the entire time, "I think it is time to use one of your set cards, as I think something huge is going to happen." he said as Frostgirl tried to think about it, but she knew that it was most likely a smart decision to trust her friend.

"Alright! Set card, open!" she yelled as then her set card was then revealed as Baira looked at the Trap, "Synchro Spirits! This card allows me to target 1 Synchro monster from my graveyard," a copy of Dewloren appeared on her hand as it was then turned into data as she grinned thinking about her new combo.

"So I can Special summon all of the monsters that were used for a Synchro Summon of that monster on my field right now!" She swiped her hand to reveal her 2 monsters that she summoned last turn, "So come out, General Wayne Of The Ice Barrier and Hexa Spirit of The Ice Barrier!"

A portal was then slashed thanks to General Wayne's sword as then the Warrior and Sea Serpent appeared on the field, ready to fight for another day.

(General Wayne Of The Ice Barrier: Level 5 - Water Warrior - Attack: 2100. Defense: 400.)

(Hexa Spirit Of The Ice Barrier: Level 1 - Water Sea Serpent - Tuner - Attack: 400. Defense: 200.)

Flame pushed his hand forward, "When General Wayne is summoned on the field, we get to add 1 Ice Barrier Spell or Trap card from our decks to our hand, and it would be a wise choice to pick Freezing Chains!" a card popped out of Frostgirl's duel disk to which she took it.

She looked at her hand and nodded, knowing that if everything goes well during this turn, she could have enough for a total of 2 Synchro monsters on her side of the field, which she can't wait to summon.

"Please, like those two water toys can even lay a finger on the Knights of Hanoi as the Virus has only begun to spread," Baira swiped her hand to pick a singular card from her hand, "As I will summon my Dark Mummy Probe in defense mode!"

A small sick looking child appeared on the field as it had blue skin as it was covered in bandages, head to toe, as he had a small brown utility belt, a small brown hat, a red and black shirt, a beige scarf as his right hand looked fine, but the left one was filled with needles. It was in an X-position.

(Dark Mummy Probe: Level 1 - Dark Fiend - Attack: 700. Defense: 0.)

Frostgirl narrowed her eyes at that as she didn't know how a monster like that would help her in the current situation, but since most of her deck was filled with Virus cards, it would be safe to assume that her monster will be a pawn for her monsters.

"Now, I will set 2 cards face down," 2 cards were set vertically behind her Dark Mummy Probe and Stretcher as they then disappeared shortly after as then another card materialized, filling up her entire Spell and Trap zones, "I will then activate the Continuous Spell card Temple Of The Kings! This card allows me to activate 1 Trap card that was set this turn!" she yelled as their eyes widened when they heard that information.

What kind of Virus cards will those be? A card that destroys her non Extra Deck monsters? Monsters with low defense or attack?

Well she won't let that happen!

As soon as Baira went to her Battle Phase, Frostgirl jumped, "During the Battle Phase, I can activate this bad boy! Urgent Tuning! During this, I can Synchro Summon with monsters I control!" as then everything turned black and white with the exception being her eyes as she thrusted her hands forward.

"I tune my Level 1 Hexa Spirit with my Level 5 General Wayne of The Ice Barrier!" she roared to the heavens as then Hexa Spirit turned into 1 gate as General Wayne then began to turn into 5 stars as he went in.

1 + 5 = 6!

She then began to chant, "Appear, the dragon from the ice as its breath can turn its enemies into the very ice! I Synchro Summon! Appear, Brionac, Dragon Of The Ice Barrier!" As then a monster made out of pure ice appeared on the field, as the monster was massive, almost like it was a Sacred Beast, as the tail went around Frostgirl and Baira, the wings unfolded to show off its massive power as the breath was that of absolute zero.

(Brionac, Dragon Of The Ice Barrier: Synchro - Level 6 - Water Sea Serpent - Attack: 2300. Defense: 1400.)

Flame and everyone else smiled when they saw that monster as it felt good to finally not have that powerful monster against them, as it did have power, however, Baira didn't look impressed, not even the slightest.

"Really? That is it? Well, sorry to tell you, but I am afraid that won't cut it. I activate my Trap! Current Corruption Virus!" she yelled at the top of her lungs as her Trap was revealed, "This card tributes 1 Dark monster with 0 defense points," Probe was then turned into data as Baira had smirked devilishly.

"As then, for the next 3 turns of yours, all monsters on your side of the field, if the monster has 2000 or lower defense points, they lose all of their attack points and they can not activate their effects!" Baira yelled as their eyes widened.

"Oh no!"

"Ahh byte!"

From the Trap card went forward a spiral purple colouring that went straight towards Brionac, which immediately went down as it lost all of its strength.

Brionac, Dragon of The Ice Barrier: 2300 - 0 attack points

"Now…Battle! Dark Mummy Stretcher, attack Brionac! Dark Stretcher!" she yelled at the top of her lungs as Stretcher charged straight towards Brionac as its hands were now in Brionac's mouth as it then began to spread, making the monster break slowly and slowly as it then popped like a cherry.

Baira: 3000 lp

Frostgirl: 3500 - 1500 lp

"With that," Baira smiled, "I end my turn."

(A/N: End Theme.)

Turn 4. Frostgirl - 1500 lp - 2 cards

Frostgirl was in trouble and everyone could tell. Not only does she not have any of her powerful monsters in her deck, her deck's monsters were cut almost to half and even if she does summon a monster, their attack and effects would be pointless, but somehow… she wouldn't give up.

She looked at her deck as a card appeared on the top of her deck. She breathed in and out as then, she placed her hands on it and said, "My turn, I draw." she said as she looked at her card, as she nodded, "I will activate Pot Of Greed!" she yelled as she drew 2 cards from her deck as then…

(A/N: Play Tundra Man - Megaman 11.)

…she smirked.

She swiped her hand to reveal her hand as she picked a card, "I activate the Spell card, Medallion of The Ice Barrier!" she yelled as a card then materialized in front of her as a card appeared on her duel disk to which she took it, "This card allows me to add 1 Ice Barrier monster from my deck!"

"That is not all! I then activate the Continuous Spell card, Freezing Chains of The Ice Barrier!" she yelled as then a card materiliazed on her side of the field as Flame then pushed his hand forward.

"Thanks to this Spell card, upon the activation, we can target 1 Level 4 or lower Ice Barrier monster in our graveyards," a card appeared directly next to Frostgirl to which she showed everyone as Flame turned around and nodded, "So we can revive our Revealer Of The Ice Barrier!"

A bright beam of light then went straight down to our heroes next to them as the light then began to fade away to reveal the monster they were summoning out, as it was a beautiful woman with long flowing red hair, with purple eyes as she wore a dress that was white in the middle, dark blue next to the middle and then back to white at the end as around it was a visible cloth next ot as around her hips was the Ice Barrier crest wielding a frozen staff.

(Revealer Of The Ice Barrier: Level 4 - Water Spellcaster - Attack: 1700. Defense: 1000.)

"Don't forget! Since her defense points are lower than 2000, her attack points are now 0 and she can't activate her effect thanks to Current Corruption Virus!" yelled Baira as Revealer glew blue for a bit.

Revealer Of The Ice Barrier: 1700 - 0 attack points

"Like that will stop me! I summon Geomancer of The Ice Barrier!" she yelled at the top of her lungs as then a different monster appeared on her side of the field as it was a monster used against her duel against Soulburner.

It was a smaller woman compared to Revealer, as her hair was in a form of pigtails with a blue orb around her brown hair, as she wore the Ice Barrier crest as a shield, as her dress was light purple and her lining was dark blue as she wore blue pants.

(Geomancer Of The Ice Barrier: Level 3 - Water Spellcaster - Tuner - Attack: 800. Defense: 1200.)

"Current Corruption Virus' effect activates!" Geomancer began to glow blue for a bit.

Geomancer Of The Ice Barrier: 800 - 0 attack points

"Well… let's see how you can handle this! It doesn't matter if their effects are negated and that they don't have attack points, since they can still be used for something else!" she yelled as everything turned black and white with the exception being her eyes

"I tune my Level 3 Geomancer Of The Ice Barrier with my Level 4 Revealer of The Ice Barrier so I can Synchro Summon!" Frostgirl yelled at the top of her lungs as Geomancer turned into 3 gates as her other monster turned into 4 stars as she went through those gates as a large pillar of light appeared behind them.

3 + 4 = 7!

Frostgirl began to chant, "Appear, the dragon whose very own entry causes a never ending blizzard of doom! I Synchro Summon! Gungnir, Dragon Of The Ice Barrier!" as then a powerful dragon appeared from the pillar of light as the dragon itself resembled that of a legendary dragon used by Seto Kaiba himself, as there were red hints all over the Blue-Eyes dragon as from the mouth and eyes glowed a magma like substance as its sheer presence went down to everyone's spines.

(Gungnir, Dragon Of The Ice Barrier: Synchro - Level 7 - Water Dragon - Attack: 2500. Defense: 1700.)

"That monster may be powerful, I will give you that, but, I will tell you that it is nothing thanks to my Current Corruption Virus!" she yelled at the top of her lungs as then a massive purple spiral went straight towards Gungnir as Frostgirl laughed.

"Hah! Fat chance! Go, Magic Barrier!" she yelled as she played her Spell card.

"With this, one monster on our field is unaffected by card effects this turn!" Flame yelled as Gungnir blasted that spiral with a hot ball of ice making it evaporate into nothing, but smoke.

Baira stood tall as she then looked at Frostgirl, "You did well, for someone so young, but let me tell you, things have just gotten worse for you! I activate my Trap! Grave Grinning Virus!" Her set card revealed itself as Dark Mummy Stretcher looked like she was about to puke.

"This card tributes a monster with 3000 or less attack points," Baira yelled as Stretcher then exploded as then four little ghosts appeared around her, "Then you have to destroy a card in your deck for every 500 attack points the monster it had, which means you have to send 4 cards from your deck of your choice!" she yelled as the ghosts went towards flew towards Frostgirl as Frostgirl had 4 of her cards sent to the graveyard.

Baira narrowed her eyes as she saw one of those cards being Dark Sorcery Of The Ice Barrier. A card then appeared from her duel disk, "If Stretcher is sent to the graveyard, I can add a Dark Mummy monster from my deck. Not to mention, thanks to Grinning Grave Virus, I can see what you draw, and then if it is a monster, it is destroyed."

Frostgirl widened her eyes as she saw that she only had around 10 cards from her deck remaining. She narrowed her eyes as then she set a card, "I will set a card," a card was then set vertically behind her Synchro monster as then she pushed her hand forward as well did Flame, "Battle! Gungnir will attack you directly! Ice Breath!" she yelled at the top of her longs as then a powerful amount of ice appeared in Gungnir's mouth as it was then sent directly towards Baira as she tried to cover herself.

She looked at her after the attack was gone as she breathed heavily.

Baira: 3000 - 500 lp

Frostgirl: 1500 lp

Frostgirl had her straight face on her, as she knew that Baira will now go even stronger then before, "I end my turn." she said.

"I can tell that something powerful will appear." said Flame as Frostgirl nodded with him.

(A/N: End Theme, but Play Camula Theme.)

Turn 5. Baira - 500 lp - 1 card

"Since it is the start of my turn, that means your Magic Barrier is no longer in effect, which means…" Baira started as Gungnir lowered its head.

Gungnir, Dragon Of The Ice Barrier: 2500 - 0 attack points

A card then appeared on the top of Baira's duel disk, "And now, your pain will meet its peak! I draw!" she yelled as she drew the top card of her deck as then she looked at it and nodded, "I activate the Spell card, Roll of Fate!" The card appeared on her field.

"This card allows me to roll a die and depending on the result, I can draw the same amount of cards and then send from the top of my deck to the graveyard, so…" she yelled as then an arm appeared and threw the dice as then the result was shown to be a 3, "A three. That means…" 3 cards appeared on her duel disk, "I can draw 3 cards!" she yelled as she did so, but then 3 cards appeared on her duel disk again.

She then took them, "Now these cards will be sent to my graveyard." she said as she sent them, as she saw that they were Root Ransom Virus, Deck Destruction Virus and Eradicator Epidemic Virus, which she slightly frowned at.

She swiped her hand as then she picked a card from her hand, "I will now summon Dark Mummy Infuser!" As then a monster with purple skin appeared on her side of the field as its hair was covered in bandages, as the hands were also covered in bandages, as the pants were green,m as its eyes were covered by a bandana as it wore a baggy purple shirt, as the legs were that of syringes.

(Dark Mummy Infuser: Level 1 - Dark Fiend - Attack: 0. Defense: 500.)

"But he won't be sticking for long as I activate Monster Restitch! I tribute 1 Dark Mummy monster on my side of the field," Infuser disappeared into data, "So I can Summon 3 Dark Mummy Tokens!"

As then 3 balls of gas appeared on the field all around Baira as she looked deadly, with enough monsters for her ace.

(Dark Mummy Token: Level 1 - Dark Fiend - Attack: 0. Defense: 0.) x 3

"Three monsters." said Flame as Frostgirl watched in shock as Baira smirked.

"That is right, as now, you will see me at my strongest!" She roared as she pushed her arm forward as data appeared from her hand as a circuit appeared from her hand, "I suture my Circuit!" she yelled as she narrowed her eyes.

"The Summoning Conditions are 3 Dark Mummy monsters, so I will set my 3 Dark Mummy Tokens in the Link Arrows!" she yelled as all three of her tokens flew to the circuit, one at a top, then the middle, and the last in the bottom.

Baira then began to chant, "Watch, as the mistress of surgeons appears on the field, as no disease can't be cured by her hands, as she destroys any virus in the world! I Link Summon! Link-3, Dark Mummy Surgical Forceps!" As then on her side of the field appeared a monster with long flowing black hair, as her skin was sick green, as she had her arms, stomach, left side of torso, legs and neck were covered by bandages as her eyes were red as she wore a face mask, with a torn up dress at the bottom as she wore red high heels. Her hands were literal blades.

(Dark Mummy Surgical Forceps: Link - Dark Zombie - Attack: 2400. Link-3. Link Arrows: Top-Middle, Middle-Left and Bottom-Left.)

Frostgirl had to take several steps backwards as she could feel from the monster that it was brimming with dark energy like she was a captain of bulls, as she could barely focus.

She then took a card from her hand, "I know what card you sent to the graveyard," Frostgirl narrowed her eyes as she showed her card to everyone, "which is why I will be making sure you will never use it once! Go, Soul Release!"

"Ah crap! Not that!"

"Her main strategy is ruined!" yelled Theodore and Seigen at the same time.

"With this, I can banish up to 5 cards from either of our graveyards, which is why I will be banishing your Dark Sorcery of The Ice Barrier, your Synchro Spirits, Urgent Tuning, General Wayne and Pot Of Greed!" she yelled as those five cards flew out of Frostgirl's duel disk and then into the void.

Baira smirked, "Oh don't you worry, this will be only a start as she hasn't even gotten to her real power." she said as then the pink lining around her began to glow, "I activate my Skill!"

"Oh byte!"

"Oh no!"

"Oh yes! Malevolent Malpractice allows me to banish 2 Level 2 or lower monsters with the same name in my graveyard, I can special summon 2 monsters with the same Level as the banished monsters! I banish my Giant Germ," 2 copies of Giant Germ appeared as they then disappeared from thin air, "So I can special summon my Dark Mummy Flatline!"

On her side of the field appeared two monsters with the same design. The monster had pink skin which was a sick coloured one as the monster was bandaged the entire time, with the only exception being that of his head, which their eyes were brown with falling teeth and barely even hair, hands and legs as at the center of the body was a television that showed its heart beat.

(Dark Mummy Flatline: Level 2 - Dark Fiend - Attack: 100. Defense: 200.) x 2

"This is getting better and better!" yelled sarcastically Frostgirl as she gritted her teeth.

"You are right, for me that is! Because if a monster is Dark Mummy Surgical Forceps' Link Arrows, she gains 600 attack points!" Baira yelled as she knew that if this attack landed… she won.

As her monster then began to glow red for a bit.

Dark Mummy Surgical Forceps: 2400 - 3000 attack points

Baira then took a deep breath, as she then looked at Frostgirl and Flame at the same time, "You played a decent duel, but this will end right here! Battle!" she pushed her hand forward as, "Dark Mummy Surgical Forceps attacks your Gungnir with Virus X-Scissor!" she yelled as her Dark Mummy Link Monster then raised both of her hands together to create a powerful slash that went straight towards her Synchro monster.

"KIKU!" Theodore jumped from his seat as he had to watch her lose… again, he gripped his fist, but then what he saw relieved him heavily.

"I wouldn't think so! I activate Mirror Shade! For the price of half of my life points, I don't take any damage for the rest of the turn!" she yelled as then a yellow barrier appeared around her to protect her from the powerful slash.

"Your monster will still be destroyed, leaving you with nothing, but a Spell card that can't be activated!" Baira said as the slash cut through Gungnir like a hot knife at a stick of butter.

After a few seconds, Frostgirl and Flame were left with no scratches on their body, with Flame mentally thanking the digital Gods.

Baira: 500 lp

Frostgirl: 1500 - 750 lp

Frostgirl took several breaths as she looked at Baira, who looked slightly impressed.

Theodore threw himself back to the couch as Seigen patted him on the back.

"I will admit, I am surprised that you managed to survive this far, but I am afraid that is all that you can do, but sure, have your turn as I have nothing left to do." she said as Frostgirl gritted her teeth.

(A/N: End Theme.)

Turn 6. Frostgirl - 750 lp - 0 cards

Frostgirl had to look at the situation at a hand and she knew that it was a horrible chance of winning this duel, a shot that was just impossible to see and she knew it. No cards in hand, no monsters on field, and even if she does have a monster… she couldn't have it over 1500 or higher attack points.

She looked down and gritted her teeth, Flame looked at her. He knew what was going in Frostgirl's mind and it was at the following of giving up, thinking it was impossible and that it would be better if she quitted, but he knows that she won't do it.

"Frostgirl," the said girl looked at the Fire Ignis, "I know that this situation might look impossible, with the current situation about the monsters and in hand, but you should never give up, even if things look impossible."

Frostgirl sighed, "I know that, it is just so hard to even think about that, with everything that has happened in the current duel, that is just impossible not to think about that."

Flame nodded in an understanding manner, "I see, but then again, just because it may seem impossible, that doesn't mean it isn't possible. Like most of the popular duelists may say: A duel isn't over until the last card is played, so why not think about that instead?"

Frostgirl turned her head towards Flame, "Besides, there is one more thing that you haven't tried yet, something that they have no information on? Because, everything will change the second you activate it, and that is our Skill."

Frostgril's eyes widened as she smiled, "Right… our Skill, thanks Flame, you know, you really are a good motivator." Flame, even without having a mouth, smiled at her, "As right here, and now, I will push back my limits! I activate my Skill! Storm Access!"

(A/N: Play Firewall Theme.)

Baira, Faust, Specter and Varis' eyes widened when they heard that name.

"WHAT?!" they all yelled as then Varis narrowed his eyes as he knew exactly how she can get that Skill, "The Fire Ignis… clever." he said with a small smirk on his face.

"If I have 1000 or lower life points, I am allowed to summon the Data Storm to pick up a powerful Cyberse Link monster! Start it up, Flame!" yelled Frostgirl as Flame nodded his head as he placed his hands to the front.

"Right! Come out, The Data Storm!" he roared as then from the palm of his hand appeared for the start, a small amount of data which wasn't impressive, but slowly, like a wave, it grew and grew into a massive storm which covered the entire arena.

Baira had to focus all of her strength into her legs just so she couldn't fall from her board as Frostgirl was in the middle of it, as she got instructions from Flame to get to the sides so she could get one Cyberse monster even if she was feeling like she would be swept by the large amount of wind, but she had to continue, no matter what is the cost!

Even if she gets hurt, if it works to help out to defeat her, it will all be worth it, as no matter what will happen to her! As of right here and now, her limits will be surpassed!

She placed her hand into the data and it felt like her hand will be ripped off, but she had to endure the pain as she gritted her teeth as Theodore had his hands on his hair, nearly pulling it out.

Flame shouted, "You can do it! Seize the wind, Frostgirl!" he yelled as Frostgirl gritted her teeth as she yelled, "STORM ACCESS!" as then, a lone mage was floating down beside her as then it got into the card which she then pulled out.

She then saw the monster she drew and then smirked, "General Edward, ey?" she asked as then, as almost an instant the storm disappeared, with a couple of buildings were destroyed in the process.

Baira had to get her breath in time as she looked at Frostgirl, as she was brimming with energy all around her. She narrowed her eyes.

With new found power, Frostgirl placed her fingers on the top of her duel disk, "I draw!" she yelled as now her cards in her deck was now 9, as she flipped it. She smirked, "I activate Card Of Demise! With this, I can draw up to 5 cards from my deck!" she yelled as she drew a brand new hand.

"Don't forget all the cards you draw, you have to show me, and if you do, all monsters that you draw are destroyed!" Baira yelled as Frostgirl showed her hand to reveal Protect The Weak!, Monster Reborn, Mirror Magic Master Of The Ice Barrier, Forbidden Lance and Altar Of Restoration. Baira smirked, "Looks like your Mirror Magic Master is getting destroyed!"

"Oh no she won't! I activate my Quick-Play Spell card, Protect The Weak!" Frostgirl said as she activated a card that had the image of Big Shield Gardna protecting Kuriboh, Hanewatta and Wattapon from a Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon.

"This card protects any Level 2 or lower monster in our hand, field and graveyard from being destroyed or sent to the graveyard!" yelled Flame as it protected Mirror Magic Master, whose last name was Adlai.

Baira narrowed her eyes as Frostgirl took a card from her hand, "I will now activate the Spell card, Altar Of Restoration! By banishing the top 2 cards from my deck," she said as she threw the top two cards from her deck, making her deck now have 2 cards, "So I can add a card from my graveyard straight to my hand!" she said as she then took the card that appeared from her duel disk and revealed it to be Magic Barrier.

"Now, I will activate my Spell card from my hand, Monster Reborn!" the card appeared onto her field as she took a card from her duel disk, "So I can now revive a monster from my graveyard, and the monster I am choosing is my Hexa Spirit Of The Ice Barrier!"

A portal appeared on her side of the field as then her Hexa Spirit came onto the field.

(Hexa Spirit Of The Ice Barrier: Level 1 - Water Sea Serpent - Tuner - Attack: 400. Defense: 200.)

"Don't forget, Current Corruption Virus still has its effect in play!" Baira yelled as Hexa Spirit became depressed.

Hexa Spirit Of The Ice Barrier: 400 - 0 attack points

"You think that is going to stop the blizzard coming your way?! Hah! Fat chance! Time to show one of my newest monsters, appear! Mirror Magic Master Of The Ice Barrier!" she yelled as then a new monster appeared on the field.

It was a beautiful woman with long flowing black hair that went beyond her shoulders, as three sets of mirrors were behind her, as her fist was engulfed in a crystal white colour, as her dress was a combination pure gold, sapphire blue, silver white with golden lining all over it as she looked downwards at her opponent with a glare.

(Mirror Magic Master Of The Ice Barrier: Level 2 - Water Aqua - Tuner - Attack: 1000. Defense: 400.)

"That monster may seem impressive, but Current Corrupti-"

"Yeah, yeah, I get it, my monster loses her effects and attack points, but that won't happen to her! Because Magic Barrier allows my monster to be unaffected by card effects!" she yelled as a barrier appeared around her that stopped the poison coming near her.

"Can I have permission to explain her effect?" Frostgirl nodded, "Thank you. Mirror Magic Master Of The Ice Barrier has a great effect. It tributes an effect monster," Hexa Spirit was turned into data once more, "So we can special summon up to 3 Ice Barrier Tokens, but due to the limiting amount of monster zones, we will summon 2 Ice Barrier Tokens! Mirrors Brigade!"

2 of the 3 Ice Barrier mirrors flew to her side, taking all of the monster zone slots.

(Ice Barrier Token: Level 1 - Water Aqua - Attack: 0. Defense: 0.) x 2

Baira knew immediately what she was going to do with those monsters, so she jumped into action, "You fool! When a monster is summoned next to Dark Mummy Surgical Forceps' Link Arrows, she can destroy the monster that was summoned!" Baira yelled as Dark Mummy Surgical Forceps tried to destroy one of the Ice Barrier Tokens, but Frostgirl smirked.

"Nice try! But Freezing Chains Of The Ice Barrier has another effect. If I control 3 or more Ice Barrier monsters, they are unaffected by card effects by monsters that were special summoned from the Extra Deck!" Frostgirl yelled as Baira looked at her in shock.

"WHAT?!" A barrier was formed at one of the Mirrors that bounced of the attack that was from Surgical Forceps.

It was quiet as Frostgirl looked at all of her monsters as she then took a deep breath.

(A/N: End Theme, but play Break Together.)

She then smiled as then data appeared around her hands, which were that of pure ice as she then threw hands into the air, "I will now thaw out of my circuit!" she threw her hand into the air as then a circuit appeared, "The Summoning Conditions are at least 2 Water Monsters, so I set my Ice Barrier Tokens and my Mirror Magic Master Of The Ice Barrier into the Link Arrows!" she yelled as then all of her monsters went to the circuit.

She then began to chant, "Come out, the warrior that is like a King of the mages, as all of the dragons kneel at your very own piercing presence! I Link Summon! Link-3, General Edward Of The Ice Barrier!" as then, what looked like her strongest monster appeared on the field.

An old mage, looking like they reached their 60-ies, with gray hair with the front hair having a light blue highlight and him having dark blue eyes, as he had scars on his forehead and around his nose, as he had a mustache and a royale beard. He wore a royal styled uniform, as it was light blue with yellow stripes going in a down style, as he wore white gloves and boots and to top it off, he wore a dark blue cape with fluffy ends of the robe.

(General Edward Of The Ice Barrier: Link - Water Cyberse - Attack: 2500. Link-3. Link Arrows: Middle-Right, Bottom-Left and Bottom-Middle.)

There it is, her strongest, her peak, her very own Cyberse monster. She had to admit, this was possibly the coolest monster she could ever had, pun intended of course as she grinned ear to ear for what she just saw. Theodore, Seigen and Gore, whom was watching with the kids at the orphanage, looked at the new monster in awe.

Varis, Specter and Faust all looked at the monster as they narrowed their eyes, which means… they have to get their strength even further than before as they watched this duel go on.

"This guy has no defense points, so his attack points and effects aren't useless! So here comes the first effect! I can special summon a Ice Barrier Synchro monster from my graveyard! Go! World End Church!" she yelled as Edward reached his hand upwards as then a massive church appeared behind him which was made out of the most purest of ice as it was deep blue.

"Appear, Gungnir!" yelled Flame as then from the church flew Gungnir as it knelt down as soon as it saw Edward.

(Gungnir, Dragon Of The Ice Barrier: Synchro - Level 7 - Water Dragon - Attack: 2500. Defense: 1700.)

Sadly, his effects and attack points were made useless thanks to Baira's Current Corruption Virus.

Gungnir, Dragon Of The Ice Barrier: 2500 - 0 attack points

"Then! His second effect activates!" Flame pushed his hand forward as two cards flew out of Frostgirl's duel disk into a portal, "He banishes a Nekroz monster and Nekroz Spell from our graveyard, so he can add a Nekroz monster and Spell with monsters that equal that level from either our graveyard or deck!"

Frostgirl took out her two cards, as then a card appeared out of her duel disk from the deck and the other from her graveyard, as she revealed them to be Nekroz Of Trishula and the other Nekroz Cycle, as then 2 cards appeared out of her duel disk from her graveyard to reveal her Royal Knight and Strategist of The Ice Barrier.

Baira looked at her in complete shock as she had enough for a Ritual Summon as she would have a Link, Ritual and Synchro monsters on her field this turn as she realized why she hasn't lost yet.

She hasn't lost her hope.

"Now, I will activate the Ritual Spell card, Nekroz Of Cycle!" as then a purple circle appeared on her field which half of them had the head of General Edward and the other Trishula. "With this, I can tribute monsters from my hand or field for the summon of 1 Ritual monster, so I choose my Strategist and Royal Knight for the tributes!" she yelled as 9 of the heads were lighten up.

She then began to chant, "Dragon of Ice, become one with the warrior to rival that of the strongest general to create the next king of mages! I Ritual Summon! Appear, Nekroz of Trishula!" At first it was one of the legendary monster that could create a blizzard from its mere presence, but then it was formed in the form of a child.

The hero had green eyes and short red hair, as the head of the powerful monster was that of Trishula as he wore a powerful looking armour that was silver around the torso, arms and legs, as he had a long dark blue tail with long wings, as he wore a large blade made out of the strongest ice.

(Nekroz Of Trishula: Ritual - Level 9 - Water Warrior - Attack: 2700. Defense: 2000.)

Almost everyone's jaws were on the floor as what they were seeing. Two powerful warriors of the Ice Barrier with immense power that was just brimming with strength at every inch with a powerful presence of it with a powerful dragon that looked like it could destroy towns with a single breath.

Theodore covered his mouth with his hand, covering up a blush as Seigen just continued to stare.

"Too bad that your powerful monster will lose everything special about it! Current Corruption Viru-"

"HELL NO! I activate Forbidden Lance! With this, my Trishula loses 800 attack points, but it is unaffected by Spell and Traps for the rest of the turn, so your moves are not going to work!" Nekroz Of Trishula glew blue for a bit, but it still looked like it didn't lose a single drop of power from his summon.

Nekroz Of Trishula: 2700 - 1900 attack points

"NOW! Trishula here can banish one card from your hand, field and graveyard." Baira looked shocked to no end, "So I will banish a card from your hand, your Dark Mummy Surgical Forceps and your Crush Card Virus! Go, Sub-Zero!" Frostgirl yelled as from the sword three large pillars were shot directly that instantly destroyed Dark Mummy Surgical Forceps, her entire hand and then Crush Card Virus was frozen.

People might think that she finally managed to win this duel, but Baira was quiet. "Not yet."

"Huh?"

"I said not yet! Dark Mummy Flatline's effect activates! When a Dark Mummy leaves the field in any way possible, I can tribute it," one card disappeared from her field, "So I can special summon a second copy of the Link Monster in the Extra Monster Zone!" she yelled as their eyes widened at what they have just heard.

As then a second Dark Mummy Surgical Forceps appeared on the field.

(Dark Mummy Surgical Forceps: Link - Dark Zombie - Attack: 2400. Link-3. Link Arrows: Top-Middle, Middle-Left and Bottom-Left.)

Dark Mummy Surgical Forceps: 2400 - 3000 attack points

"Not to mention, it can't be destroyed by card effects, by battle and it is the only monster that you are allowed to attack!" she yelled as their eyes widened as they realized that none of their monsters are stronger than the current one.

Frostgirl gripped her hand into a ball, but she then relaxed her hand, "The same goes for me! As I won't stop! General Edward activates his last effect!" General Edward turned towards Nekroz Of Trishula with a sad look on his face, but Trishula nodded to his superior that it is alright.

"During the Battle Phase, one monster that this card points is tributed and he gains attack points equal to the tributed monster! World End Martyr!" yelled Flame as their eyes widened from the shock at what they had just heard.

General Edward sighed as he flew towards Nekroz Of Trishula and grabbed his head as then Nekroz Of Trishula suddenly flew out of bonds as General Edward then gained more power.

General Edward Of The Ice Barrier: 2500 - 4400 attack points

Baira looked at the monster in shock as she realized at what she saw, she saw the true essence of never giving up hope, something that she has lost years ago, which she sighed. She looked back at Frostgirl, Flame and General Edward and smiled that the youth today has more energy and hope than she does.

She dropped her arms and looked at her, "I have nothing on my field to stop this, you are free to attack." she said as Frostgirl and Flame looked at each other to see if she was legit, but the way she said it and the way she looks, told them that she wasn't joking or lying.

Both of them nodded, "Alright! Since you said it! Battle! General Edward Of The Ice Barrier attacks your Dark Mummy Surigcal Forceps with World End Blizzard!" Frostgirl yelled as General Edward placed his two hands together as from it appeared snow, that went stronger and stronger, and stronger by each second, as then he released it towards Surgical Forceps at a pace that was impossible to dodge or to even tank it, as Baira looked at her defeat and closed her eyes.

Knowing full well…

Baira: 500 - 0 lp

Frostgirl: 750 lp

FROSTGIRL: WINNER!

…that she lost.

(A/N: End Theme.)

It was all quiet, after the duel had ended for Frostgirl's victory and silence spoke more volumes than any sound as she was quiet the entire time with all of the holograms disappearing.

It was… quite surreal to see this as while some of them did cheer, like the people who were rooting for Frostgirl, and people were proud of her, Theodore, Seigen and Gore, but it was interesting to know that she was quiet, but not in a way that she was mad, but rather she was proud of her.

In Baira's mind, she remembered a time where she was at college at how she would go to save millions without risking a single life, rather than now with risking the lives out of thousands as at that time she had hope, unlike now, but right here and now, she had hope, but not for her, but for other people instead.

Frostgirl didn't know what to say, but she knew that she had to say something, at least for the Deleted. "Well… a deal is a deal, Baira. I won the deal, and that means… you have to cure the Deleted." she said as Baira smiled.

"Of course, and give me a moment," she said as Varis narrowed his eyes at what he saw with her getting what looked like a keyboard and placing a code which he knew which meant that he knew what she was doing.

He wasn't angry at her, far from it, but he had to do it for her, paying the price of her actions. As he raised his hand and snapped his fingers, with Specter and Faust not moving a finger as they knew that this was warranted.

Then, thousands upon thousands of data went all around of Link VRAINS, but not in a negative way, as the two duelists watched as they saw all of the data going towards the Deleted and once they went in, the people that were in a coma, immediately woke up and then logged off.

The two watched in peace as they saw all of it transpire, as they looked at each other with Baira slowly turning into data, which she looked at it, but didn't really mind it as she knew what would happen to her if she did that.

Frostgirl smiled, "You know, you aren't that bad of a Knight Of Hanoi. Sure you may have used my blood for what to source, but at the same time, you cured the Deleted, so I have to thank you for that." she said.

Flame nodded, "I have to agree with her, but at the same time, I can't really since if a certain somebody lost the duel, I would have lost my entire life." Flame then turned towards a certain somebody as the person began to sweat.

"Look, I am sorry okay?! I had to find a way to get them to duel me." she said in defense as Baira chuckled at the two.

"I see and thank you for the kind words Frostgirl, as you showed me a thing or two about hope, so I have to thank you for finding out the little hope I had for myself, as now, I have hope for both of you." she said, "And what I mean by that, I meant for you and your friends and… The Knights Of Hanoi, which I have to say something to you and your friends."

She then looked at them in the eye, but not in a threatening way, "Good luck." she said as then she fully turned into data. Her body then transported into the same one as Genome's.

It was silent once more, as they knew that what happened have made the Knights even stronger than before, even when defeating the 2 Commanders. Everyone took a deep breath as they then logged off, ready to fight for another day.

The three remaining Knights stayed quiet, as they knew that in order to achieve their goal, they had to become stronger.

As, in the next 3 weeks, they know… that what would look like Armageddon will happen in Link VRAINS.

Authors Note:

FUCKING FINALLY DONE! FINALLY! I AM SO SORRY FOR THE LATE UPLOAD! SCHOOL HAS BEEN KILLING ME AND I BARELY HAD ENOUGH TIME TO WRITE THIS! I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND!

Anyway, how did y'all enjoy this chapter? Good? Bad? Not at all? Well that is okay, and you can feel however you guys want to, since I hope you didn't hate it. Okay, a few things about this.

I fully believe that Varis had a funeral for all of the Commanders of Hanoi during all of this since they were like older brothers, or sister incase of Baira, so I have a hard time to believe that isn't the case in Canon. BTW, Alexander was basically the most common name for a King, so I thought it would work, and I did take some inspiration from Bopdog111's Chronicles Of Fusion.

Hope you guys enjoyed the bonus scene and Gore's new scarf, as don't worry, Blue Angel and Playmaker will have one as well in Season 2.

I decided to give Kiku here a LInk-3 monster that is 100% based on Black Clover's Edward Avalache and I like to think of him as the strongest General there is of the the Ice Barrier despite his old age, and you should really see him in his prime. Ho boy, that man would give monsters like Utopia, Neos and even Blue-Eyes a run of their money. I decided to give Baira some new Virus cards and Dark Mummy monsters since unlike Genome's Helixx monster, I can at least get their playing style.

Baira was okay, as I did enjoy her duel against Blue Angel in canon, which is the last win she got before she won another in like 60 episode later, (I love you VRAINS, but why are you like this?) and I did enjoy her deck a bit.

The duel in canon was fine in my opinion, which was one of the more confusing ones when I first watched it, but when I rewatched it I was like, "...That's it?"

Guess how many Black Clover references there are in this chapter.

Also, I need some help with Seigen's Link Cyberse monster, and it is about what will it be named, it's effect and how it will look like. Any help will be massive.

I think that is about it, so see ya' guys later as I have to continue my GX story where I last left off!... with a massive change in canon, yikes.
