Hello everyone, I've got something to say. I've decided to redo all my chapters and fix mistakes I made. I've currently done the first chapter of this story and first chapter of Arc v story. Please enjoy this rewrite version of chapter 2 of this story.


Chapter 2: A wrestling match between dragons and warriors.

A day has passed since Ash, Lulu and Saya arrived in this new world thanks to an Ignis named Azure. Kolter dived his van to a hotel that he knew for Ash, Lulu and Saya to spend the night, until he finds them a house to live in. He even offered to pay for them to spend the night, but Ash said it was all right and paid for himself, Lulu and Saya.

Right now, Yusaku and Ash were in the same classroom, listening to the teacher talk about a game called 'The tower of Hanoi'. Ash was next to Yusaku in the back row of the class, wearing the Den City Hight School uniform with only a few differences like he was wearing a black shirt, white shoes with black highlights and around his neck and visible to the world was his pendent.

Both boys were deep in thought; Yusaku was thinking about what has happened so far in his life, while Ash was looking bored hearing the lecture in class about some game called 'the Tower of Hanoi'. He was already an A-class student back home, so this lesson is really boring to him. Ash was even leaning against the table with his hands crossed on the table with his head down.

Next to Ash was his new Duel Disk with Azure still inside it, only keeping his eye closed and staying quiet. He didn't want to blow his partner's secrete of being White Dragon Mask, so he kept his mouth shut, but on the inside, he was laughing at how Yusaku left Ai at home.

''This is literally killing me so much that I wish someone would shoot me. At least Kolter helped us find a hotel room to live in last nigh, but hopefully he'll find us a house. This morning is one that's gonna be hard to forget. Seriously, everyone was really that surprised at seeing a new student riding a motorcycle or in my case, a Duel Runner''. Ash muttered to himself as he remembers his introduction to Den High School earlier today and how he did his first impression.


(Flashback)

Den City High School was about to start for the day with students walking into the building, Yusaku included, but he was turning his head left and right to spot his new ally as today was his first day in school with him. 'I wonder where Ash is right now?' Yusaku thought to himself in wonder. He got a call earlier today from Ash, who told him that he would be going to school with him from now on.

Suddenly, the roars of a loud engine appeared out of nowhere, getting Yusaku and the students to turn around to see what was the cause of the noise. Coming towards the school was Ash, driving his Duel Runner, wearing his new Den City High School uniform with his helmet on with the eye protection covering his eyes. Even his Xyz Dimension Duel Disk was attached to the Duel Runner. Inside Ash's extra compartment section of his Duel Disk was his new school bag with the Duel Disk that Kolter gave him inside with Azure still in it.

Ash drove up, before he stopped his Duel Runner next to a tree, before he put it in parking mode and turned the engine off. The 17-year-old male placed his hands on his helmet and took it off, allowing all of the students to see his face. A group of female students began to blush heavily at seeing the handsome new student, while many boys were jealous of him and his sweet ride.

Ash pulled the right handlebar up, before he got up from his Duel Runner. He opened the extra compartment, before he picked up his bag and placed it on his back. The White Dragon Emperor then closed the extra compartment, before he pulled the handlebar down. Lastly, he placed his Duel Runner in security mode

Ash turned around to see that he had an audience. However, his eyes spotted Yusaku instantly, making him smile as he walked over to his new friend. "Morning Yusaku, ready for class?" Ash greeted his new friend and teammate against the Knights of Hanoi. Yusaku nodded to Ash, before the both of them began walking to class together, leaving the students beginning to gossip about the new boy, his Duel Runner and how he's friends with Yusaku.


(Flashback end)

Ash was the talk of the school at the moment with many students still talking about him, along with girls blushing whenever they're looking at him. Yusaku was surprised to see his friend get popular so fast. He was glad that he wasn't popular, since he doesn't like attention.

Just then, a boy name Naoki Shima, who was around the same age as Yusaku, was heading towards him and Ash. He was wearing the same school clothes at Yusaku, different color shoes, a bit on the round side and had spiky green hair.

"Yusaku!" Naoki greeted, getting both his and Ash's attention as they looked at him. "Did you see Playmaker and White Dragon Mask knock out those Knights of Hanoi yesterday?" Naoki asked Yusaku, feeling excited at the moment. "Did they?" Yusaku replied to Shima, playing dumb. "It's only like in every channel, and I got a front row seat, but I only needed the edge'' Naoki explained to the hacker, looking excited as he thought back to what happened yesterday.

"I can't believe you missed it man, even that cool Fusion Summon that White Dragon Mask did''. Naoki added, feeling more excited as he remembered watching White Dragon Mask fusion summon, before he took notice of Ash. "Hey wait, aren't you that new kid?" Naoki questioned, having seen Ash arrive at school.

"Name's Ash, and I'm just hanging around with a friend''. Ash replied to Naoki, getting another surprise look from him. "Wait a second, you actually have friends?" Naoki asked Yusaku in shock, who nodded to him before he closes his eyes.

Naoki then took notice of the Duel Disk that Kolter gave to Ash, Azure's eyes was still closed, but was listening to the conversation. "Huh? Is that a duel disk? Are you a duelist?" Naoki asked Ash, looking at his Duel Disk. "That's right." Ash replied as he held his Duel Disk with his right arm.

"Then why do you have an old fashion Duel Disk? You've must have heard of the new Duel Disks!'' Naoki said to Ash, showing him his Duel Disk. "I've heard of them, but I prefer the Duel Disk that shows your cards and allows a Duelist to hold them. Besides, no one should judge someone on the Duel Disk that they use. Take me for example, I use an old Duel Disk, but you haven't seen me Duel yet. I could be a very powerful Duelist or not''. Ash explained, before he leans his head down on the table again, with Naoki looking at him in shock.

Azure chucked very quiet from what his partner said to Shima, still inside his partner's Duel Disk that the White Dragon Emperor was holding.


(Vrains opening 1 song)

A digital tunnel appeared with balls of data going down, before a glowing eye appeared and disappeared to reveal a data Duel Disk attach to Playmaker's shadow. The shadow then disappeared to reveal the words 'Yu-Gi-Oh! Vrains White Dragon Emperor'.

(Running through, Across the universe)

(At a speed, comparable of light)

(Begin Loading)

On a sunny day inside Den City Yusaku, Ash and Rose were walking around the part, each carrying their bags in separate styles. Nearby, Naoki waved as he ran up to the three. Nearby, The Gore was jogging on the walkway of a bridge road full of cars, wearing a dark gray hoodie and jeans.

(Our doorway to the dream world opens)

Late in the afternoon, Skye Zaizen was watching the sunset, before she turned away with a sad look. Not far away, Lulu, Celina, Rin, Zuzu and Saya were all watching the sunset as well with Saya holding both Lulu and Celina's hands. Close by, Kolter was eating a hot dog in his van as he watched the sunset himself. Late at night, Akira was standing next to his car, facing a direction with his hands in his pockets.

(Spreading VRAINS)

(Believe in yourself!)

In a town full of lights with colorful lines moving sideways, Ash, Yusaku and Rose stood in the middle, facing the opposite direction of the city.

(Continuing VRAINS,)

(The circuits that draws out the future.)

(Let's grab it with these hands, Yeah)

A bright light came from behind the three, showing Ai, Blaze and Azure appearing briefly before the images of a 7-year-old Ash, 6-year old Yusaku and Rose briefly appeared. The three activated their Duel Disks as they entered LINK Vrains as their characters. Playmaker, White Dragon Mask and Black Rose Dragon Mask all appeared riding their Duel Boards separately in a Speed Duel. The three all draw a card from their decks as their ace monsters, Decode Talker, Firewall Dragon, Novaforce Stardust Dragon, White Dragon – Blue Link Dragon and Black Rose Dragon all appeared besides their Duelists.

(Start up, Data Storm!)

(Now, With the Wind)

(I Link my heart and mind)

The Knights of Hanoi, leaded by Spectre appeared with their leaders, Varis and Black Dragon Mask briefly shown, before it changed to show Topologic Bomber Dragon flying across LINK VRAINS. Three separate Data Storms appeared in separate colors, one purple, white and red, raging across LINK VRAINS. Playmaker, Black Rose Dragon Mask and White Dragon Mask were still riding on their Duel Boards atop the Data Storm, their eyes showing determination as they rode side by side.

(Accelerated Data Storm!)

(Now Win the Race!)

(Connecting the world)

Blue Angel appeared in a colorful background, taking a pose before her three monsters Trickstar Holly Angel, Trickstar Divarids and Trickstar Bella Madonna appeared, taking a pose behind their Duelist. Gore appeared with a brown background, riding his Duel Board with his two ace monsters, Gouki the Great Ogre and Gouki the Giant Ogre beside him. Purple Night appeared in a black background, riding her purple Duel Board with Lyriluse - Convene Nightingale besides her with her partner Raven inside her Duel Disk. Lunalight Dancer appeared in a purple background on her Duel Board with Lunalight Cat Dancer and Lunalight Lynx Dancer next to her. Carla was in her Duel Disk in her eye form, only the eye was narrowed.

In a green background, Green Witch appeared on her Duel Board with Wendy in her Duel Disk, before Wind Witch – Synthetic Diamond Bell appeared next to her. In a pink background Music Singer appeared on her Duel Board with Yuna in her Duel Disk. Mozart the Melodious Maestra appeared beside her Duelist, taking a stance.

(No matter the new time,)

(Nothing is impossible.)

(Aiming at a Hope beyond this,)

(Ride the wind and go!)

In Den City, Emma rode her motorcycle into the air, before jumping off. Pink energy covered her body, before she twirled around as she transformed into her LINK VRAINS avatar, Ghost Girl. Varis and Black Dragon Mask appeared; ready to Duel with Cracking Dragon behind them. In LINK VRAINS, Playmaker White Dragon Mask both drew a card from their decks, ready to battle their rivals.

Varis and Black Dragon Mask cried out as they jumped onto their own Duel Boards and charged towards Playmaker and White Dragon Mask, before Borrelord Dragon and Eclipserage Deadstar Dragon appeared beside their Duelists. Both Firewall Dragon and Novaforce Stardust Dragon roared before they clashed with Borrelord Dragon and Eclipserage Deadstar Dragon, creating a bright light upon impact.

(Oh Yeah,)

Playmaker's Cyberse Monsters, Cyberse Wizard, Link Slayer and Bitron all briefly appeared, before they disappeared. Playmaker, White Dragon Mask, Black Rose Dragon Mask, Black Dragon Mask and Varis all appeared on their Duel Boards, going past each other before disappearing. Then Gore, Blue Angel, Purple Night, Green Witch, Music Singer and Lunalight Dancer appeared on their Duel Boards as well, before disappearing into the same background in the beginning.

(Oh Yeah)

A bright white bird was flying into the sky, heading towards the bright sun.

(Opening song end)


Meanwhile in another part of Den City, Lulu and Saya were walking around the city, holding each other's hands. They were wearing the same clothes as yesterday, only freshly washed. Saya was humming a happy tune, while Lulu was watching her daughter happily.

The reason why Lulu isn't at Den City's high school was because she hasn't found a day care for Saya, so she decided to wait before joining school so that the 7-year-old wouldn't be alone. Once she did found someplace to leave Saya for the day, she'd then join Ash and Yusaku at school.

However, Lulu and Saya saw someone ahead of them carrying a few presents in his hands. It was George Gore, the same person that Lulu distracted yesterday for her friends to escape. "It's George Gore!'' Lulu called out in surprise to see the top Charisma Duellist of Link VRAINS.

"But why does he have so many presents?'' Saya asked in confusion at seeing all the presents that Gore was holding. "Let's follow him and find out''. Lulu told her daughter, which Saya nodded in agreement as they followed Gore, keeping their distance so that he won't spot them.

Soon after a few minutes, Gore stopped at an orphanage, getting the two girls to look at the building with surprised expressions. However, a present began to fall from the pill that Gore was holding without him noticing. Saya noticed the falling present and the next thing she knew, she was right next to Gore, catching the falling present with her hands.

Gore turned to look at Saya as Lulu decided to stop hiding and run up to Gore and Saya, placing her hands on her daughter's shoulders. "Oh? Where did you two come from?'' Gore asked in curiosity, curios about where the two girls came from. "Hey mister, you dropped this". Saya said as she held out the present towards Gore.

"Oh, thank you''. Gore thanked Saya for reminding him about that present. "Sorry, we were just curious about those presents that you're carrying in your arms". Lulu said to the Charisma Duelist as she helped Saya put the present back in the pile that Gore was carrying.

"Yeah! Who are they for?" Saya asked in wonder, wondering where Gore is taking the presents. "Well, these presents are for the kids that live in this orphanage". Go answered, getting surprise looks from Lulu and Saya, not expecting this answer. "Really?" Lulu and Saya asked Gore if he was serious.

"Yup, I usually visit the kids by donating presents here. I used to an orphan myself, so that's why I duel as a Charisma Duelist in Link VRAINS so that they can have everything they need to live as happy children''. Gore explained to Saya and Lulu, making both girls look even more surprised at his answer.

"Wow, you're just like Ginta!" Saya exclaimed, thinking that Gore and Ginta were very much alike. "Ginta?'' Gore said in confusion at Saya's words, having no idea who Ginta is. "Ginta's a friend of ours, who's a lot like you. He duels for kids as well''. Lulu explained to Gore about Ginta, getting the Charisma Duelist interested.

"Really? I'd like to meet this guy someday. But for now 'the Gore' has some presents to deliver''. Gore said as he referred to himself in the third person, before he continued on his way to the orphanage. "Mind if we help out?" Lulu suddenly asked, getting a surprised look from Gore. "Really? You don't mind?" Go asked, not expecting Lulu and Saya to help.

Saya was nodding her head up and down. "Sure, we like helping out people". Lulu replied to Gore, already having experience of helping children. "That's right." Saya said with a smile, agreeing with her mother. Gore still looked surprised, before he smiled.

Gore gave some presents to Lulu and some to Saya, though not as much since she is still a young girl. Both Saya and Lulu held the presents with both their hands as they walked towards the orphanage with Gore walking ahead of them, leading the way.

"Hey kids! I've brought presents for my biggest fans, even some new friends!'' Gore called out to the children of the orphanage. However, no one came out to greet them. "Hello! That's weird, where is everybody?'' Gore asked in wonder, wondering where the kids are. "Maybe they went on an excursion''. Lulu suggested, getting Gore to look at him.

"I don't think they did. I called earlier today to tell them that I was coming. They might be inside. Let's go take a look''. Gore said as he opened the front door, going inside the orphanage with Saya and Lulu following him. "Maybe they wanna surprise you''. Saya suggested as they walked down the hallway, before they heard the kids in one of the rooms on the right side.

Gore looked through the door window, before his eyes widened at what he saw. Inside were the kids of the orphanage, watching a video of Playmaker and White Dragon Mask from yesterday. Gore was stunned and speechless at seeing the kids cheering for Playmaker and White Dragon Mask instead of him, and he did not like it one bit. Lulu and Saya took notice of Gore's stun look and grew worried.

"Gore, is there something wrong?" Lulu asked in concern, seeing Gore spaced out right now. Another present began to drop, with Saya catching it in time, before she placed it with the other presents that she was holding. "Mister Gore, what's wrong?" Saya asked in concern like her mother for Gore. Gore then snapped out of it, before he looked at the girls.

"Sorry, I just spaced out for a bit." Gore apologizes to the two girls, feeling bad that he got them worried. "Are you sure you're all right, mister?" Saya asked again, still worried for Gore. "Yes, I'm sure. Nothing's wrong". Gore answered to Saya, feeling bad that he got the little girl worried.

"Alright then. Let's deliver those presents to the kids". Lulu said as she and Saya pushed Gore into the room to give the presents to the kids. The kids noticed Gore entering as they got up to greet greeted him with smiles, before they took notice of Lulu and Saya.

"Hey Gore, who are these two?'' A young black haired girl around Saya's age asked Gore, wearing a pink dress. "These two next to me are called Lulu and Saya. They helped me bring the presents here''. Gore replied to the girl, introducing Lulu and Saya to the kids. "Hello''. Lulu greeted the children with a beautiful smile. "Nice to meet you all''. Saya said with a smile, happy to meet children around her age.

Gore, Lulu, and Saya started handing out the presents to each kid, until they finally finished. Right now, Lulu, Saya and Gore were outside with the Charisma Duelist preparing to leave. Lulu and Saya decided to stay behind to let Saya spend time with the kids of the orphanage. "Thanks you two for helping me out today". Gore thanked Lulu and Saya, thanking them for helping him give out the presents.

"You're welcome. Besides, like I said, we like helping out children". Lulu replied to Gore, happy to bring presents to children. "Hope we get to do this again soon". Saya exclaimed with a smile, having enjoyed helping Gore out. "I'm sure we will. Now, I must be going now. See ya around, Lulu and Saya". Gore said as he walked off, heading back towards his warehouse to figure out a plan to duel ether Playmaker or White Dragon Mask.

Lulu and Saya watched Gore leave, before the little 7-year-old girl went back inside the orphanage to play with the children. Lulu continued to watch Gore walk away in concern, knowing that he was one who dueled for the children, and seeing them have sparkles in their eyes for someone else hurt him.

"Mama, come on!'' Saya called out to her mother, getting Lulu to turn around to look at her daughter. "Mister Gore will be alright. He's like Ginta, so he'll be okay''. Saya said to her mother, having faith that Gore would cheer up. Lulu smiled at her daughter's words, before she entered the orphanage with Saya closing the door after she entered.

10 minutes later inside the orphanage, Saya was playing with the children of the orphanage in a special playroom. Currently Saya was showing one of her decks to the children that were gathering around her to see. While Saya was playing and having fun with the kids, Lulu was watching them with a loving smile. It really melted her heart to see Saya happy and having fun. Saya was Lulu's world, even though she is both her daughter and not her daughter.

Saya is after all the biological child of her original world person Ray, thus making Saya her real daughter in a way. Lulu doesn't care. Saya is her daughter and nothing can change that. "Hello there''. A kind voice greeted, getting Lulu's attention as she turned her head right to see an adult brown haired woman who had light purple eyes, wearing a white shirt, orange pants and white shoes walking towards her. Lulu bowed her head a little.

"I'm sorry. I didn't see you before''. Lulu apologized to the woman for not noticing her sooner. "It's alright. I just wanted to thank you for helping Gorge''. The woman thanked Lulu, getting her to look at the adult in confused.

"Helping Gore with what?'' Lulu asked in confusion at the woman's words. "Gorge has always had the children cheering for him whenever he duels. But ever since Playmaker and White Dragon Mask showed up, the children started to cheer for them more than George. I'm sure George was crushed at what he was seeing. But thanks to you and your little sister, George still gave the presents to the kids''. The woman explained what she meant to Lulu.

Lulu, now understanding what the woman was thanking her for, smiled at her. "You're welcome. One more thing, Saya isn't my little sister''. Lulu replied to the woman, telling her that Saya isn't her sister. The woman looked confused at what Lulu told her.

"She isn't? The way that you two seemed so close made me think that you two were sisters''. The woman said to Lulu, surprised to hear that Saya isn't Lulu's sister. Lulu looked at Saya as she smiled lovingly. "She's my daughter''. Lulu told the woman, telling her that Saya is her daughter.

The woman stared at Lulu in shock, not expecting that answer. "Your daughter? But how?! You seem too young to have a daughter, so how?'' The woman asked Lulu, still shocked at her answer.

Lulu kept watching Saya, who was showing Yubel's card to the kids. "Saya isn't my biological daughter, but she is my adopted daughter''. Lulu told the woman that Saya was adopted. The woman seemed to have calmed down at Lulu's words. "I see. How old were you when you adopted her?'' The woman asked Lulu, wanting to know when Lulu adopted Saya.

Lulu turned to look back at the woman. "I adopted her when I was 11-years-old''. Lulu replied to the woman, telling her age when she adopted Saya. The woman looked surprised at Lulu's answer. "11-Years-old? Isn't that a bit too young to adopted a little girl?'' The woman asked Lulu, thinking she was too young to adopt a child.

Lulu shook her head in response. "I may have been young when I adopted Saya, but it was the best thing I ever did. She means so much to me''. Lulu replied to the woman, having no regret of what she did that day when she adopted Saya, who now means the world to her.

The woman still looked surprised, before she smiled at Lulu. The woman turned to watch the children play with Saya.


(With Ash and Yusaku)

Back at Den City high school, Shima was still sitting next to Ash and Yusaku. Yusaku didn't look interested, while Ash was looking through his deck to pass the time. "You guys wanna catch a live stream of Link VRAINS with me you two? The three of us can be on Playmaker and White Dragon Mask watch together''. Shima asked before he used his device to get a view of Link VRAINS before he gasped.

"That mask, those rob. It's…a Knight of Hanoi!'' Shima shouted out, getting everyone's attention, while Ash and Yusaku opened their eyes. "Let's go''. Ash whispered to Yusaku, who nodded to him as both of them sneaked away with no one noticing.

Ash and Yusaku ran out of the school, heading towards Ash's Duel Runner. "Yusaku, get on! We'll be able to get to your house faster if we ride my Duel Runner''. Ash said to Yusaku, lifting the right handlebar up to get on his Duel Runner, before he attached his XYZ Duel Disk to his Duel Runner. Yusaku nodded without hesitation as he got on Ash's Duel Runner, wrapping his hands around Ash. Azure flashed out of Ash's new Duel Disk and into his old Duel disk.

Ash quickly put his helmet on, while giving Yusaku his spar helmet, who put it on. Ash grabbed both handlebars, before he twisted them, causing the Duel Runner to shot out onto the road. Ash leaned right, causing the Duel Runner to go right, driving on the right side of the road.

Ash twisted both handlebars, causing the Duel Runner's engine to roar as it passed three cars, with Yusaku holding on tight to the White Dragon Emperor.


(5 minutes later)

It's been 5 minutes since they rushed out of school with Yusaku directing Ash to his house. Ash followed Yusaku's directions and soon they arrived at his house. Ash quickly parked his Duel Runner next to Yusaku's house as he pulled up the right handle bar.

Yusaku took his helmet off and gave it to Ash, who accepted it as the younger male took off towards his house. Ash put his Duel Runner in security mode, quickly grabbing his new Duel Disk, before he chased after Yusaku.

However, the two friends heard the familiar song 'Can you feel the power', getting their attention as the turned, before Yusaku grabbed a deck box that was tossed towards him. They looked to see that Kolter's van was right next to them on the road with the window opened to show their ally, who was giving them the thumbs up with his right hand. "Good luck guys, even though you won't need it''. Kolter wished his friends luck as he gave the thumbs up, which Ash returned.

"Thanks". Yusaku thanked his friend as he opened the deck box and picked up the three cards inside it. The three cards were Decode Talker, Code Talker and Encorde Talker. Ash, Yusaku and Lulu have been using the program that Azure created that let them duel virtual Knights of Hanoi with Yusaku taking as many chances as he could to use Storm Access to get as many Link monsters as he could.

"You're making great use of my program''. Azure remarked as he flashed into Ash's new Duel Disk. Yusaku didn't reply to Azure as he rushed into his house. "Look after Yusaku, Ash''. Kolter told Ash, who nodded to him. "I will, don't worry''. Ash replied to Kolter before he rushed after Yusaku.

Ash ran down the hall of Yusaku's house and saw Yusaku grab his Duel Disk with Ai still inside the Duel Disk. "We're heading to Link Vrains''. Yusaku told Ai as he walked up to the wall with Ash standing next to him. "Right now!? What's the rush?!'' Ai asked in surprise at the sudden plans to enter Link VRAINS.

"A Knight of Hanoi has shown up''. Yusaku told Ai as he put his right hand on the wall, which revealed a hidden room. "I gotta say that's nice''. Azure commented with an impressed look. "We'll log in here''. Ash told Yusaku, getting him to nod to his comrade. Yusaku entered the secret room that closed after he entered.

Ash attached his Duel Disk on his left forearm, before he brought out his Deck from his jacket. "It's time to Link into the VRAINS!'' Ash called out as he slotted his deck into his Duel Disk. The the Words "Into the Vrains'' appeared on his Duel Disk, before data surrounded Ash as he turned into his avatar.

A white glow covered Ash for a few seconds, before it disappeared to reveal White Dragon Mask, who let out a roar like a Dragon. White Dragon Mask entered Link VRAINS at the same time as Playmaker, with both heroes of Link VRAINS falling from the sky. "Whooo slow down! / Yeehaw!'' Ai and Azure called out as Playmaker and White Dragon Mask landed on a rooftop, where the Knight of Hanoi was waiting for them.

"About time you showed up, you rainbow coloured pock chop and white haired lizard boy! You're in for a tenderising!'' The Knight of Hanoi exclaimed with a smirk and his arms crossed as both heroes of Link VRAINS stood up, before their eyes narrowed. "Shock, I can't believe we fail for it!'' Azure called out with his eye narrowed.

"Huh, what are you talking about, buddy?'' Ai asked his friend in confusion, wondering why Azure said that. "That isn't a Knight of Hanoi, it's just someone wearing a disguise''. Azure explained to Ai on what he meant. "And we fail for it, hook line and sinker''. White Dragon Mask commented as the Knight of Hanoi began laughing.

"You're hate for the Hanoi is legendary, so I knew you two couldn't resist the temptation''. The Knight of Hanoi explained as his disguise disappeared to reveal that it was Gore the whole time. "You're not dealing with the Hanoi. You're dealing with someone much more dangerous! The Gore's gonna pound the two of you into a pulp in front of the whole world!'' Gore called out with a smirk as he pointed at the two heroes with his right hand's index finger.

"The Gore, huh? Accessing database…oh his states are way primo. No wonder he's the top celebrity Duelist!'' Ai called out as he, along with Azure searched up data on Gore, getting Ash's attention. "His Duel-style is a 'Beat Down' deck and is a Gouki Deck''. Azure informed his partner about Gore, telling him what deck and what Duelling style he uses.

"But this guy's no Knight of Hanoi''. White Dragon Mask stated as he and Playmaker turned around. "We're out''. Playmaker said as he and White Dragon Mask began to walk away. "You two aren't going anyway, Playmaker and White Dragon Mask''. Gore stated as a massive cage appeared over the city, trapping the heroes of Link VRAINS.

"Now that's just overkill!'' Azure commented from seeing the giant cage. "You can say that again''. White Dragon Mask said in agreement to what his partner said. "This quarantine cage is specially programmed so that none of us can log out until our Duel's done''. Gore explained about the cage and how it traps them.

"Get the picture. You two aren't skipping away from me this time and your lady friend isn't coming to the rescue. And for stakes, if I win, I get to take both your Ais''. Gore said with a smirk as both Playmaker and White Dragon Mask turned around to face him. "Fat chance muscle head!'' White Dragon Mask replied to Gore, making him narrow his eyes.

"Watch what you say, Lizard breath! What I really want is to show all my adoring fans that you two are nothing, but frauds that got a few lucky breaks''. Gore explained his reasons for his actions. "And he looks like he'll break you're bones while he's at it''. Ai commented, taking notice that Gore looked strong enough to take on both Playmaker and White Dragon Mask in a fight.

"Want me to handle this muscle head?'' White Dragon Mask asked Playmaker if he wanted him to handle Gore. "Don't worry, I'll handle him''. Playmaker replied to White Dragon Mask, indenting to do the duelling. "Okay, guess Azure and I will just enjoy the show''. White Dragon Mask said as he stepped back as the Speed Duel wind began to blow.

"Size the wind, Playmaker!'' Ai called out as Playmaker's Duel board was heading them, as Playmaker jumped on his Duel Board with Gore jumping on his own Duel Board. White Dragon Mask walked to the edge of the building, before he leaned down on the railing to watch the Duel.

"This outta be interesting''. White Dragon Mask remarked, looking forward to seeing how Gore and Playmaker duels. "If we had duelled Gore, I could have copied his data to make a virtual version of himself for our training program''. Azure told his partner, thinking that they should have duelled Gore.

White Dragon Mask and Azure watched as the duel began with Gore taking the first move, summoning two Gouki monsters called Gouki Suprex and Twistcobra, ending his turn. Playmaker started off strong by summoning Link Slayer and Cyberse Wizard. White Dragon Mask looked interested at seeing the Cyberse monsters.

"I just checked on more data about Gore and it turns out, he duels to donate to a local orphanage in Den city''. Azure informed his partner, getting White Dragon Mask's attention. "He what?'' White Dragon Mask asked in confusion at Azure's words. "He duels for kids that don't have families, so that they can have a happy childhood''. Azure continued to explain to his partner as White Dragon Mask went back to watching the Duel.

He got interested at how Gore referred to the Duel as a wrestling match, before he got impressed when Playmaker used Cyberse Wizard's ability to switch Gouki Suprex to DEF mode, before attacking Link Slayer. Also Cyberse Wizard's ability allowed Link Slayer to deal piercing damage, leaving Gore with 2000 Life points.

Gore knelt down from the damage for a few seconds, before he got back up with his frighting spirit burning even more from Playmaker's attack. Thanks to Suprex's effect, he added another Gouki card to his hand before using his skill 'Pain and Gain' to revive Gouki Suprex.

"Interesting. Gore's Gouki monsters allow him to add more Gouki cards from his deck to his hand whenever they're sent to the graveyard, meaning a hand destruction strategy won't work on him". White Dragon Mask said to himself, memorizing each move Gore uses in this Duel. "Gore's got your interest, huh?'' Azure commented, taking notice of his partner's interested look.

Gore started his turn by drawing his card before summoning Gouki Riscorpio without a sacrifice thanks to its ability, before he used his three monsters to Link Summon Gouki the Great Ogre. Gore added three more Gouki cards thanks to the three he used to summon the Great Ogre. Gore used The Great Ogre's special ability to lower Playmaker's monster's ATK Points by their DEF points.

Gore activated a spell called Gouki Re-match that allowed him to summon Riscorpio and Twistcobra in DEF mode, before activating Twistcobba's special ability to sacrifice Riscorpio to increase the Great Ogre's ATK Points by Riscorpio's ATK Points. Next Gore discarded another Twistcobba to special summon Gouki Headbatt that gave Great Ogre another 800 ATK Points, giving him a total of 5700 ATK Points.

"Huh, that's intense''. White Dragon Mask commented at seeing the Great Ogre's ATK Points over 5000. "No argument here''. Azure said in agreement to what his partner said. Gore tried to finish Playmaker off, who activated the trap Cyberse Shatter that negated Headbutt's special ability, causing the Great Ogre's ATK Points to return to 4900 ATK Points with Playmaker drawing a card.

The Great Ogre attacked Cyberse Wizard, leaving Playmaker with only 100 Life points left. "Wow, Playmaker is playing Gore like how a child plays with a toy''. Azure commented with an impressed look. "With his life points below 1000, Playmaker can use his skill Storm Access''. White Dragon Mask said with a smirk, believing in Playmaker.

Gore ended his turn with the Great Ogre's ATK Points returning to normal. Suddenly a backdoor program appeared that Playmaker could use to escape, be he ignored it. "He does know that he could have got out of here and left that muscle head to us''. Azure said with his eye narrowed.

"Playmaker has more honor as a Duelist than you give him credit for''. White Dragon Mask told his partner with a smile, proud of Playmaker for deciding to continue this duel to the end.

Playmaker started his turn off by drawing his card before he summoned a monster called Draconnet, using its ability that allowed him to special summon a normal Cyberse monster from his hand or deck. Playmaker choose Bitron, while Gore reminded him about the Great Ogre's special ability, decreasing the Cyberse monster's ATK Points.

Playmaker started his own Link summoning, using Bitron to Link summon a Link-1 Cyberse monster called Link Spider, before activating its special ability to summon another Bitron from his hand to Link Spider's Link marker. Gore made fun of Playmaker's Bitron, which didn't affect Playmaker as he charged towards the Data Storm.

Gore avoided it while Playmaker went right in, activating his skill Storm Access to obtain a new Link monster. With his objective cleared, Playmaker left the Storm Access as he went straight to another Link summon, using Link Slayer and Bitron to link summon a Link-2 Cyberse monster called Link Bumper.

Playmaker wasn't done yet; he special summoned Backup Secretary before using it and Draconnet to Link summon another Link-2 Cyberse monster called Honeybot. Surprise, surprise, Playmaker went for another Link summon, using both Honeybot and Link Spider. Honeybot counted as two monsters because of its Link as Playmaker took advantage of that to summon his ace monster, Decode Talker.

"Now that's impressive. Even I couldn't do that much Link summons in one turn''. White Dragon Mask stated with an impressed look after seeing Playmaker Link summon 4 times. "You're still new to Link summoning, so give it time and I'm sure you'll become a master of Link summoning like him''. Azure told his partner, thinking that he had what it takes to be a Link summoning master.

Playmaker equiped Decode Talker with the equip spell, Cyberse Annihilation before he activated Cyberse Shatter's effect from the graveyard that allowed him to summon Honeybot from the graveyard. Playmaker had Decode Talker attack the Great Ogre with Cyberse Annihilation increasing Decode Talker's ATK Points to equal The Great Ogre's ATK Points.

White Dragon Mask could have sworn that he saw the two Link monsters battling in a wrestling ring. Both monsters weren't destroyed because Great Ogre used its ability to sacrifice Headbutt to negate its destruction, while Honeybot's special ability protected monsters that were in its link makers.

Gore added another Gouki Re-match to his hand thanks to Headbutt's ability. Playmaker's new monster, Link Bumper allowed Decode Talker to attack two more times since he had three Link monsters. The wrestling match was on as the two Link 3 monsters battled it out again.

White Dragon Mask gripped the railing as he watched the intense Duel as the two Link monsters survived again with Twistcobra being used as a sacrifice this time for the Great Ogre to survive. Thanks to Twistcobra's effect, Gore added another Suprex from his deck to his hand.

Third times the charm as Decode Talker and the Great Ogre battled again, only this time the Great Ogre didn't survive because Gore had no more monsters to sacrifice, making White Dragon Mask gasp as he forgot about Gore's field from the intense battles. Playmaker's equip spell Cyber Annihilation's effect deals damage to Ogre's life points equal to the destroyed Great Ogre's ATK Points, which was more than enough to win the Duel for Playmaker.

The spell created a blast that blew Gore off his Duel Board. Once again, White Dragon Mask saw the wrestling ring with Gore down and Playmaker standing as the winner. "That was incredible!'' White Dragon Mask called out with a huge smile, having never felt like this before. "Indeed, it was a spectacular wrestling match''. Azure agreed with his partner, having enjoyed the match as well.

White Dragon Mask watched as Gore laughed as he stood up, having enjoyed his Duel against Playmaker. "Hey Azure, could you do me a favor?'' White Dragon Mask asked his partner, getting the Dragon Ignis' attention. "What is it?'' Azure asked his partner on what he wanted to ask him.

"Could you send a message to Gore, asking him to duel me in an hour''. White Dragon Mask told his partner, really wanting to duel Gore himself. "He's got you that pumped up for a duel, huh?'' Azure asked, before he got to work at sending a message to Gore. "Message sent. We can log out now''. Azure told his partner as White Dragon Mask nodded to the Dragon Ignis before he logged out of Link VRAINS.


(In Real World)

Back at the orphanage, Lulu and Saya were about ready to leave, with the kids, Gore's Manager, and the caretaker there to see them off. They had watched the duel between Gore and Playmaker. The duel had excited the children, Saya included while Lulu was amazed at Yusaku's skills.

Now after spending some more time here, Lulu and Saya were standing in front of the gates, looking at the kids, Go's Manager and the caretaker. They were planning to give Gore a surprise when he returns from Link VRAINS.

"Good-bye! We hope to see you around!" The caretaker bid farewell as she, Gore's Manager and the kids waved their hands goodbye to Lulu and Saya. "Don't worry, you'll see us again". Lulu replied as she and Saya waved good-bye to the friends they made today. However, Lulu then remembered something important that involved Saya, before she looked at the caretaker.

"One more thing, can I ask you one favor?" Lulu asked the caretaker, wanting to know if the caretaker would agree. "Huh? A favor?" The caretaker asked, looking confused at what Lulu wants.

"Can Saya stay here when I go to school? I don't want to leave her alone, so would it be alright?" Lulu asked, now getting an understanding look from the caretaker. "Oh, of course she can. After all, she seems to be well liked already by the children". The caretaker replied, smiling as she remembers the interaction that Saya had with the kids.

"Thank you. I'll be sure to pick her up when I finish school". Lulu thanked the caretaker, bowing her head in gratitude. Lulu and Saya started walking away, waving to the kids, Gore's manager and Caretaker, before the two held hands together as they walked back to the hotel.


(With Ash and Yusaku)

Back with Ash and Yusaku, they just left Link VRAINS and returned to the real world. Yusaku put Ai back in the container that he was using to hold him, getting a laugh out of Azure. Both teens went outside to see the van parked next to Yusaku's house. They entered to see Kolter waiting for them.

"It wasn't easy programming that exit''. Kolter grumbled out, having a little grudge that Playmaker ignored the program that he worked so hard for. "Yes, but you know it's not everyday that I get to duel just for the sake of duelling''. Yusaku replied to Kolter, explaining why he continued the duel because he was enjoying it.

"Well I guess you're right. That Gore was pretty good, wasn't he? You know what, if we're really gonna take down the Knights of Hanoi than we should try to get all the help we can get. We could use an ally like the Gore''. Kolter explained, thinking that the Gore would be a strong ally to have.

"No, it's too dangerous''. Yusaku replied to Kolter as he turned around and opened the van door. "This is our fight Kolter, not his. We must defeat the Knights of Hanoi without his help''. Yusaku told Kolter before he left, leaving Ash with the older man. "He has trust issues''. Azure commented from inside Ash's Duel Disk.

"Kolter. I hope you don't mind, but I asked Azure to send a message to Gore, asking him for a duel''. Ash told Kolter, getting him to look at the new member of the team. "Why do you want to duel the Gore?'' Kolter asked Ash on why he wanted to duel the Gore. "From watching that Duel that Yusaku had with the Gore, I've felt my blood burning with the desire to duel a strong opponent like the Gore. I hope you don't mind''. Ash explained why he wanted to duel the Gore.

"Sure, I don't mind. Just don't lose''. Kolter said with a smile, okay with Ash dueling Gore. "Thanks Kolter''. Ash thanked Kolter, before he left the van and went to where he left his Duel Runner. His Duel Runner was right where he left it. "Good to see that you're still here, old friend''. Ash said to his Duel Runner as he pulled the right handlebar up and sat down on it.

Ash pulled the right handlebar down. "You like talking to your ride, don't you?'' Azure said to his partner, before he existed Ash's new Duel Disk and entered his XYZ Duel Disk.

Ash didn't answer his partner, but attached his XYZ Duel Disk to his Duel Runner. Ash put his helmet on before he grabbed both handlebars and shifted them to start up his Duel Runner. Ash twisted the handlebars again as the Duel Runner went forward, passing Kolter's van and onto the road.

Ash leaned left as his Duel Runner went left, before he passed two cars. Ash's destination was the hotel to prepare for his Duel against the Gore.


(20 minutes later)

Ash arrived at the hotel's parking lot, where he parked his Duel Runner. Ash left the parking lot, walked past the hall of the hotel and took the elevator to the floor where his room is. Ash made it to the front door of the room where he, Lulu and Saya were staying in. Ash opened the door and entered, before he closed the door, making sure to lock it.

The room that Ash, Lulu and Saya were staying in was large, having two doors that lead to two bedrooms, a kitchen with a fridge, a TV, a couch for 5 people, windows that give a great view of outside and finally a table used for dinner.

"How much time do we have left?'' Ash asked his partner as he sat down on the couch and brought his deck out. "30 minutes left''. Azure told his partner, having kept track of time. "More than enough time''. Ash stated with a smirk as he started looking through his deck.

"You do know that muscle head has gotta have more tricks then that Great Ogre''. Azure told his partner. "Oh I'm counting on it. Besides, I don't know much about his deck and he doesn't know anything about my deck so I would say we have 55% chance of victory''. Ash replied to his partner, counting on Gore to surprise him.

"Oh how creative. Instead of a usual 50%, you added 5 more since we saw a total of 6 cards of Gore's deck''. Azure stated with a narrowed eye. Ash held up Blue Link Dragon's card as he smiled at it. "I've gotta get more Link monsters just like Blue Link''. Ash said as he put his main Link monster back in his deck, while Azure watched him.


(Meanwhile with Gore)

After logging out, Gore was surprised by the kids from the orphanage coming to cheer him up. He played with them for a while and promised he'd go to see them tomorrow. After they left, his manager walked up to him.

"Glad to see you back to your old self Gore. I didn't want to interrupt you before so here, there's a message for you''. Gore's manager said as he handed a tablet to Gore. Gore looked at it before he widen his eyes in surprise.

"White Dragon Mask wants to Duel me?'' Gore asked in surprise at the message that was actually a challenge. "It said that your duel with Playmaker fired him up so much that he wants to take a crack at you''. Gore's manager informed Gore, having read the message a little while ago.

Gore thought about it before he smirked. "The Gore never turns down a challenge! Tell him I'll be waiting for him in Link VRAINS!'' Gore told his messenger as he gave the tablet back before he entered the wrestling ring, rising up his left fist. "I'm linking into the VRAINS!'' Gore called out as he was surrounded by data, entering Link VRAINS.


(Back with Ash)

Back at the hotel, Ash was lying down on the couch, waiting for a response from Gore. His new Duel Disk was on the table, deck already in and shuffled with Azure having his eye closed as he waited, along with his partner.

Suddenly Azure's eyes shot open as he received the message that they were waiting for. "Gore got our challenge and accepted it. He's currently waiting for us in Link Vrains''. Azure told his partner, making Ash smile as he got up from the couch. He grabbed his Duel Disk and placed it on his left forearm.

Ash stood up as he held his left hand in front of him. "Time to Link into the VRAINS!'' Ash called out as he was surrounded by data, entering Link VRAINS once more.


(In Link VRAINS)

On a rooftop in Link VRAINS stood Gore, who waited patiently for White Dragon Mask to arrive. "Thank you for accepting my challenge''. White Dragon Mask thanked Gore as he landed a few feet behind him, getting Gore to turn around to look at the masked duelist.

"Why'd you want to Duel me? I lost to your friend, meaning I don't have to collect ether of your AIs?'' Gore asked White Dragon Mask on why he wanted to duel him. "Would you believe me if I said that after watching your intense duel with Playmaker, I just wanna have an intense Duel against you?'' White Dragon Mask asked Gore with an amused smile on his face.

Gore smirked in amusement at the masked duelist's response. "I see you're quite different from Playmaker''. Gore said in amusement, having not expected White Dragon Mask to be different then his teammate. "Well don't judge a book by its cover''. White Dragon Mask replied with a smirk on his face.

"Guess you have a point. Anyway, let's do this!'' Gore called out with a smirk on his face, which White Dragon Mask nodded to him.

Soon the two of them were riding their Duel Boards on the data stream with Gore riding in front, while White Dragon Mask was behind him. "Let's Speed Duel!'' Gore and White Dragon Mask called out as they drew their starting hand.

White Dragon Mask life points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 4.

Gore life points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 4.

"I'll go first!'' Gore declared as he took the first turn, swiping his right hand as four cards appeared in front of him. "I'll start by summoning a good friend of mine called Gouki Suprex!'' Gore called out as Gouki Suprex appeared on his field.

Gouki Suprex ATK Points: 1800/ Level: 4.

"When Suprex is summoned, I get to summon another Gouki like my Gouki Twistcobra!'' Gore explained his monster's effect as Gouki Twistcobra appeared on his field.

Gouki Twistcobra ATK Points: 1600/ Level: 3.

"Two monsters, just like in his Duel against Playmaker''. Azure commented, taking notice of Gore using the same cards he used in his first turn against Playmaker. "Now let's get it on my circuit!'' Gore called out as he pointed at the sky as the Link portal appeared in the sky.

"Looks like he's got a different strategy''. White Dragon Mask stated with narrowed eyes as he watched Gore. "The conditions are 2 Gouki monsters! I set Suprex and Twistcobra on the Link Markers!'' Gore called out as his two monsters turned into tornadoes, going into the bottom and left Link markers.

"I Link Summon Link-2 Gouki Jet Ogre!'' Gore called out with a smirk as another Gouki monster appeared from the arrowhead, only wielding a sword and had a jet pack.

Gouki Jet Ogre ATK points: 2000/ Link-2/ Link markers: left, bottom.

"Ha, he really does have more options then the Great Ogre''. White Dragon Mask commented with a smirk. "If you like that, you'll love this! Thanks to Suprex and Twistcobba, I add two new Gouki cards!'' Gore explained as his Duel Disk slotted out two cards that Gore took as they disappeared.

"Next up I activate the Gouki Poison Mist spell card! This spells deals you 700 Points of damage!'' Gore called out as a spell appeared in front of him as Gouki Jet Ogre turned around and unleashed a poison breath at White Dragon Mask, who didn't flinch from the nasty breath.

White Dragon Mask life points: 4000 – 700 = 3300.

"That's it for me, your turn now!'' Gore declared his turn over as Jet Ogre turned back around.

White Dragon Mask life points: 3300/ Number of cards in hand: 4.

"It's my turn now! I draw!" White Dragon Mask called out as he drew his card before he added it to the other cards in his hand. "I'll start by summon White Dragon – Stardust Knight!'' White Dragon Mask called out as a humanoid white Dragon that looks based off of Dark Blade, but with wings and a tail appeared. It's armour was based off Stardust Dragon and was using a sword and shield with glowing blue eyes.

(White Dragon – Stardust Knight/ level: 4/ Attribute: Light/Type: Dragon/Effect/ ATK: 1600/ DEF: 1600/ Effect: This card is also treated as a Warrior-Type monster. If this card was Special Summoned, it gains 500 ATK Points. If this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle, you can add one level 4 or lower monster from your deck to your hand. If your opponent has more than one monster out, this card can make one more attack during each Battle Phase.)

"Now I play the Spell, White Dragon - Howling Cry!" White Dragon Mask called out as he slotted a card into his Duel Disk as a spell card appeared with the image of three Dragons howling into the night sky.

(White Dragon - Howling Cry/ Type: Continues Spell/ Effect: If a "White Dragon" monster is Special Summoned to your field, except by this card's effect, you can draw one card from your deck. Once per turn, you can discard one "White Dragon" card from your hand to Special Summon one level 4 or lower Dragon-Type monster from your hand.)

"Next up I activate the White Dragon – Dragon's Call from my hand!'' White Dragon Mask called out as he slotted a card in his Duel Disk as a spell appeared in front of him with the image showing a shadow cloaked dragon with blue eyes roaring out into the night sky.

(White Dragon – Dragon's Call/ Spell/ Effect: When you control only one "White Dragon" monster, you can Special Summon one Dragon-Type monster from ether your hand, or deck with an equal or lower Level than the one you have on the field.)

"This Spell allows me to summon another White Dragon monster with a lower level then my Stardust Knight! So come on out White Dragon - Blue Star Hope!'' White Dragon Mask explained his spell's effect as a small white dragon with blue marks across it body appeared. It had white wings that were crescent shape like a moon, a long tail that had energy lines that reach from the tip of the tail to its back, white scales, two claws with three fingers and two talons as well. Finally, the dragon had a white face, blue dragon eyes and seemed to breath out energy with stars in them.

(White Dragon - Blue Star Hope/Level: 1/ Attribute: Light/ ATK: 500/ DEF: 200/Type: Tuner/ Dragon/ Effect/ Effect: This monster cannot be destroyed in battle. If this card is used as a material for a Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, Ritual or Link summon, draw one card.)

"Now my Continuous Spell's effect activates! When I Special Summon a White Dragon monster, I get to draw another card!" White Dragon Mask explained his Spell's effect as he drew another card from his deck with his right hand, taking a moment to look at it, before he held it out.

"This is White Dragon – Scout Gardna and when he's added to my hand through an effect, I can summon him!" White Dragon Mask explained his monster's effect as he placed the card on his Duel blade as a muscle white and brown Chinese dragon appeared, having glowing brown eyes and brown long hair.

(White Dragon - Scout Gardna/ Attribute: Light/ Level: 3/ ATK: 1100/ DEF: 2400/ Effect: If this card is added to your hand by an effect, (during ether player's turn) you can Special Summon this card in DEF Position. If this card is in your hand when an opponent declares a direct attack on you, you can Special Summon this card in DEF Position to negate the attack, then draw two cards.)

"And since he was Special Summoned, I draw another card!" White Dragon Mask reminded Gore as he drew another card from his deck in a dramatic fashion, before adding it to his hand and making it a total of 3 cards.


(Real world)

"Oh, what's this!" The MC called out in the real world as everyone stopped to look at the screen, showing the Speed Duel between White Dragon Mask and Gore. "The Gore has started another duel, only this time with Playmaker's mysterious ally, White Dragon Mask!'' MC continued to call out as everyone stopped to watch the Duel.

At Den City's main square was Kolter's van with Kolter making hot dogs, while Yusaku was sitting down on a chair in front of the van with both of them watching the duel take place. "Ash wanted a duel with Gore after seeing your duel with him, so don't worry. There's nothing at stake in this duel". Kolter told his friend, who was watching the Duel as he eat his hotdog. "I'm fine with it. Ash seems like the type of person that loves dueling, so it's alright for him to have a duel with Gore". Yusaku replied to Kolter as he took a bite out of his hotdog, his eyes glued to the screen as it continued to show the duel.


(Back in LINK VRAINS)

"Hahahaha! Three against one, hardly seems fair, but considering that my Jet Ogre is still more powerful than your three lizards, I'm not worried!" Gore laughed out as he imagined himself and Jet Ogre facing White Dragon Mask and his monsters in a wrestling ring. The White Dragon Emperor gave a smirk at the Gouki user duelist.

"Oh, you'll be worried before you know it! Remember my Razor Whip a few days ago?'' White Dragon Mask questioned Gore with a smirk on his face, getting him to frown. "Oh, I remember. The so called 'Summoning' of a different world''. Gore replied to White Dragon Mask, having seen him Fusion Summon Razor Whip. "He has no idea how right he is". Azure commented from White Dragon Mask's Duel Disk, getting the White Dragon Emperor to nod. "Well, here's a surprise for ya! I tune Level 4 White Dragon – Stardust Knight with Level 1 White Dragon - Blue Star Hope!" White Dragon Mask called out as Stardust Knight took flight while Blue Star Hope transformed into a green ring.

The green ring went around Stardust Knight, who turned into four stars before a beam appeared that consumed the stars and ring. "Here's another one of my special tricks! I Synchro summon White Dragon - Rising Hope!" White Dragon Mask called out as a four-legged dragon with white and yellow scales, two giant wings on its sides and glowing yellow eyes appeared from within the beam and roared.

(White Dragon – Rising Hope/ Level: 5/ ATK Points: 2000/ Def Points: 1500/ Attribute: Light/ Type: Dragon/ Synchro/ Effect/ Requirements: 1 White Dragon Tuner + Dragon-Type monster/ Effect: When this card is Synchro Summoned, you can Special Summon one White Dragon monster from your hand or graveyard. During either player's turn, you can banish this card from your graveyard, monsters you control cannot be targeted or destroyed by card effect until End Phase.)

"Another summoning!?'' Gore called out in shock at seeing Synchro Summoning with his own eyes. "That's right! And in case you've forgotten, my Continues Spell allows me to draw another card, but since Blue Star Hope was used as material, I can draw another card!'' White Dragon Mask explained as he drew two more cards from his deck.

"Now Rising Hope's special ability! When his Synchro Summoned, I can summon a White Dragon or Stardust monster from my hand or graveyard so raise up once more, Blue Star Hope!'' White Dragon Mask explained his monster's ability as Blue Star Hope reappeared on his field.

White Dragon – Blue Star Hope ATK Points: 500/ Level: 1.

(Play Yusei's Tuning Theme)

"And that means another card!'' White Dragon Mask stated as he drew another card from his deck, adding it to his hand. "Now Blue Star Hope gives Rising Hope a Tune up!'' White Dragon Mask called out as Blue Star Hope turned into a green ring again that went around Rising Hope, who turned into 5 stars.

A beam appeared that absorbed the lights and rings, creating a breeze that blew White Dragon Mask's hair. "Stardust Charge Warrior, let's Rev it up!'' White Dragon Mask called out as Stardust Charge Warrior flew out of the beam, letting out a battle cry.

Stardust Charge Warrior ATK Points: 2000/ Level: 6.

(Music end)

"Stardust Charge Warrior allows me to draw another card, but Howling Cry lets me draw another card!'' White Dragon Mask explained as he drew two more cards, making his hand a total of 8 cards.

"I'll set one card face down!'' White Dragon Mask began as a face down card appeared on his field. "Then I'll activate the White Dragon – Unity Spirit spell!'' White Dragon Mask continued as he slotted in a spell that appeared on the field, showing an image of three dragons coming together to face Buster Blader.

(White Dragon – Unity Spirit/ Quick-Play Spell/ Effect: When a "Dragon Type" or "Stardust" monster you control attacks, or is attacked by an opponent's monster: Discard 1 monster from your hand, and target 1 "Dragon Type" or "Stardust" monster on the field; that card gains the ATK of the discarded monster until the end of the turn.)

"This Spell allows me to discard one monster from my hand to increase the ATK Points of one White Dragon or Stardust monster on the field by the discarded card's ATK Points! I discard White Dragon – Light Blue Wing, giving Stardust Charge Warrior a whopping 1900 ATK Points!'' White Dragon Mask explained his spell's effect as he discarded a card from his hand as a white aura surrounded Stardust Charge Warrior, increasing his power.

Stardust Charge Warrior ATK Points: 2000 + 1900 = 3900.

"3900 ATK Points!'' Gore called out in surprise at seeing Stardust Charge Warrior now powerful enough to destroy Jet Ogre. "Now go Stardust Charge Warrior, attack Gouki Jet Ogre!'' White Dragon Mask called out as Stardust Charge Warrior spread his wings, before he charged at Jet Ogre. Charge Warrior sliced through Jet Ogre with his wings, causing the Link monster to explode, forcing Gore to his knees. (3900 – 2000 = 1900)

Gore life points: 4000 – 1900 = 2100.


(Real world)

"Oh looks like Gore's having some trouble! White Dragon Mask used another new summoning method and dealt 1900! White Dragon Mask is a formidable as Playmaker!'' MC commented as the people that were watching were amazed at witnessing a Synchro summon.

"Looks like the Gore has taken all the hits he can take! He only has the count of 3 to get back up or its KO for him! 1, 2-'' MC called out as he started counting, till Gore got back on his feet. "Looks like the Gore can take some more! The Duel is still on!'' MC called out as the people applauded for Gore.


(Back in Link VRAINS)

"It'll take more then that to take down the Gore and I'll prove it with my Skill Pain and Gain!'' Gore called out as the gold outlines on his coat glowed. "All my Gouki monsters that were destroyed return to the field!'' Gore explained his spell as Jet Ogre returned to the field.

Gouki the Jet Ogre ATK Points: 2000/ Link-2/ Link makers: Down and left.

"You have no idea what you've just done''. White Dragon Mask commented with a smirk, getting Gore's attention. "What are you talking about?'' Gore questioned, having no idea what White Dragon Mask is talking about. "The thing is that my Charge Warrior can attack all special summoned monsters you control''. White Dragon Mask explained with a smirk as Gore widen his eyes as he realized his mistake.

"Then that means it can attack Jet Ogre again!'' Gore called out as he looked to see Stardust Charge Warrior turn around and sliced through Jet Ogre again, causing another explosion. White Dragon Mask waited for the smoke to clear to reveal Gore…only something was wrong.

Gore life points: 1150.

"What the!? How come he has 1150 life points?!'' Azure asked in surprise at seeing Gore's life points. "Simple, I discarded Gouki Octostretch! By using his ability in exchange of discarding him, all battle damage in halved''. Gore explained how his life points weren't as low as they expected as a card appeared in front of him before disappearing.

"I end my turn here and Stardust Charge Warrior's ATK points return to normal!'' White Dragon Mask declared his turn over as Stardust Charge Warrior returned to his side, powering down.

Stardust Charge Warrior ATK points: 3900 – 1900 = 2000.

Gore life points: 1150/ Number of cards in hand: 2.

"My turn now, I draw!" Gore called out as he drew his card from his deck as it disappeared and three cards appeared in front of him. "I'll start off by summoning Gouki Suprex!'' Gore called out as another Suprex appeared on his field.

Gouki Suprex ATK Points: 1800/ Level: 4.

"His ability activates that allows me to summon another Gouki and this time, I choose Gouki Moonsault!'' Gore explained his monster's effect as a new Gouki monster with pink hair appeared on hi field.

Gouki Moonsault ATK Points: 1900/ Level: 6.

"Now I play Moonsault's special ability! It allows me to return a Gouki Link monster from my graveyard to my Extra deck and allows me to add a Gouki monster in my graveyard to my hand! I return Jet Ogre to my Extra deck and add the Suprex in my graveyard to my hand!'' Gore explained his monster's special ability as Suprex's card appeared between his right hand's index and middle fingers before disappearing.

"Now let's get it on again my circuit!'' Gore called out as he pointed at the sky as the Link portal appeared in the sky. "The conditions are 2 Gouki monsters! I set Suprex and Moonsault on the Link Markers!'' Gore called out as his two monsters turned into tornadoes, going into the bottom and left Link markers.

"I Link summon Link-2 Gouki Jet Ogre!'' Gore called out with a smirk as Jet Ogre appeared once more.

Gouki Jet Ogre ATK Points: 2000/ Link-2/ Link markers: Left, bottom.

"Now Suprex's special ability allows me to add another Gouki card from my deck to the hand!'' Gore explained as a card came out of his Duel Disk before it disappeared. "Now I activate the spell, Gouki Re-match!'' Gore called out as a spell appeared on his field. "This spell brings back two Gouki monsters in DEF mode, so I'll bring back Moonsault and Twistcobra!'' Gore explained his spell as Moonsault and Twistcobra appeared on his field.

Gouki Twistcobra DEF Points: 0000/ Level: 3.

Gouki Moonsault DEF Points: 0000/ Level: 6.

"Show up once more my circuit!'' Gore called out as he pointed at the sky as another Link portal appeared in the sky. "Like last time, the conditions are two Gouki monsters! I set Moonsault and Jet Ogre on the Link markers!'' Gore called out as his two monsters turned into tornadoes, while Jet Ogre turned into two tornadoes and entered the top, bottom and bottom left Link markers.

"Time to bring a new Gouki! I Link summon Link-3 Gouki The Blade Ogre!'' Gore called out as a blue armored Gouki monster wielding a double-edged sword appeared from the Link portal, taking Jet Ogre's place in the right Extra deck monster zone.

Gouki The Blade Ogre ATK Points: 2400/ Link: 3/ Link markers: Top, bottom and bottom left.

"A Link 3 that's not The Great Ogre?'' Azure questioned at seeing Gore summon a different Link 3 monster. "Haha! Now I activate The Blade Ogre's special ability! For every monster in his Link, he gains 300 ATK Points!'' Gore explained his monster's ability as the Blade Ogre powered up.

Gouki The Blade Ogre ATK Points: 2400 + 300 = 2700.

"But those points won't be around for long! I activate Blade Ogre's other ability! By releasing Twistcobra, he can attack two times!'' Gore explained his monster's special ability as Twistcobra disappeared.

Gouki The Blade Ogre ATK Points: 2700 – 300 = 2400.

"Twistcobra allows me to add another Gouki card!'' Gore reminded as he added another card to his hand. "Now I activate the field spell, Gouki Cage Match!'' Gore called out as a spell appeared on his field. "When activated, this card gets three counters!'' Gore explained his field spell's effect as the card glowed.

Gouki Cage Match counters: 3.

"Now go Blade Ogre and attack Stardust Charge Warrior!'' Gore called out as Blade Ogre turned around and charged at Charge Warrior, swinging his sword and destroyed…White Dragon – Scout Gardna. "What the!?'' Gore called out in surprise at seeing Scout Gardna protecting Charge Warrior.

"Surprise surprise, Scout Gardna takes all the hits for my monsters, with this being the perfect time to activate my trap White Dragon - Double Revival!'' White Dragon Mask explained as his trap appeared with the image showing two revived dragons climbing out of the ground.

(White Dragon - Double Revival/ Trap/ When a monster you control leaves the field through battle: Special Summon 2 "White Dragon" and/or "Stardust" monsters from your Graveyard with their effects negated.)

"This trap lets me summon 2 White Dragons from my graveyard when a monster I control is destroyed! So come on back White Dragon – Rising Hope and Blue Star Hope!'' White Dragon Mask explained his trap's effect as both Stardust Knight and Blue Star Hope reappeared on the field.

White Dragon - Rising Hope ATK points: 2000/ Level: 5.

White Dragon – Blue Star Hope DEF Points: 200/ Level: 1.

"And since they were special summoned, 2 more cards are added to my hand thanks to my spell!'' White Dragon Mask reminded Gore as he drew two more cards from his deck. "So what, since a Gouki monster destroyed one of you're monsters, my field spell loses a counter!'' Gore explained as his field spell reappeared.

Gouki Cage Match counters: 3 – 1 = 2.

"The Blade Ogre can still attack your Charge Warrior!'' Gore reminded as The Blade Ogre charged again and slashed Stardust Charge Warrior in the stomach, destroying him. (2400 – 2000 = 400)

White Dragon Mask life points: 3300 – 400 = 2900.

"Stardust Charge Warrior''. White Dragon Mask said to his fallen monster. "Don't forget my field spell's effect!'' Gore reminded as his field spell reappeared.

Gouki Cage Match counters: 2 – 1 = 1.

"Now to get rid of that annoying spell! I play the Quick-Play Spell Mystical Space Typhoon to destroy your continues spell!'' Gore called out as the quick-play spell appeared on his field, unleashing a typhoon that destroyed White Dragon – Howling Cry.

"Well there goes that card''. Azure commented with a narrowed eye. "I'll end my turn here!'' Gore declared his turn over as The Blade Ogre returned to his side.

White Dragon Mask life points: 2900/ Number of cards in hand: 7.

"I draw!'' White Dragon Mask called out as he drew his card before looking at it. "I summon White Dragon - Cracked Scale!'' White Dragon Mask called out as a muscly four-legged white and green dragon with large web-like wings on its back and emerald eyes.

(White Dragon - Cracked Scale/ Level: 2/ ATK Points: 800/ DEF Points: 1200/ Attribute: Light/Type: Dragon/Effect/ Effect: If a Stardust or White Dragon monster you control is targeted for an attack, you can discard this card from your hand and destroy the attacking monster. If this card is used as a Synchro Material, draw one card.)

"Azure!'' White Dragon Mask called out to his partner, who nodded in understanding. "Come on out, White Data Storm!" Azure called out as strays of wind started coming together, before forming a White Data Storm. "Coming through!'' White Dragon Mask cried out as he passed through Gore and entered the Data Storm. 'Is he trying to get a monster from that Data storm?' Gore thought to himself with narrowed eyes.

Inside the White Data Storm, White Dragon Mask wasn't having much trouble staying on his hover board as he held his right claw out. "Come to me!" White Dragon Mask called out as the White Data Storm started to form a card in White Dragon Mask's claw. "Go Draconic Storm Access!" White Dragon Mask shouted out as the card fully formed into his claw. With his objective over, White Dragon Mask rides his hover board out of the Data storm, making Gore widen his eyes at seeing him handle that Data Storm with no problem.

White Dragon Mask was now in the lead, riding in front of Gore. "Come forth! Circuit that brings Light to Darkness!" White Dragon Mask said as Blue lighting came out of his right claw and into the sky, creating the Link portal. "I require one Dragon type monster! I set Cracked Scale on the Link Arrows!" White Dragon Mask called out as Cracked Scale turned into a white tornado and entered the bottom Link Marker.

"I Link Summon Link-1! White Dragon – Link Wyvern!" White Dragon Mask called out as a new creature flew out of the portal and into the air. It was a white wyvern that had light blue lines around its body, gleaming blue eyes with its wings attached to its short arms and a long tail.

(White Dragon – Link Wyvern/ Link: 1/ ATK Points: 1500/ Link Markers: Down/ Type: Dragon/ Attribute: Light/ Requirements: 1 White Dragon Monster/ Effect: If there is no monster in this card's Link, you can special summon one monster from the graveyard. So long as a monster remains in this card's Link marker, it cannot be destroyed in battle.)

"Link Wyvern's special ability activates! Since no monsters are in his Link markers, I can special summon one monster from my graveyard to its Link! Rise up once more, Cracked Scale!'' White Dragon Mask explained his Link monster's special ability as Cracked Scale returned.

White Dragon – Cracked Scale ATK Points: 800/ Level: 2.

"Now Blue Star Hope gives Cracked Scale and Rising Hope a tune up!'' White Dragon Mask called out as Blue Star Hope turned into a white ring, going around Cracked Scale and Rising Hope. The two dragons turned into seven stars, before a beam appeared that consumed the ring and stars. "I Synchro Summon NOVAFORCE STARDUST DRAGON!'' White Dragon Mask called out as his number 1 partner, Novaforce Stardust Dragon appeared in the sky.

(Novaforce Stardust Dragon/ Attribute: Light/ Level: 8/ ATK Points: 2500/ DEF Points: 2000/ Type: Dragon/ Synchro/ Effect/ Requirements: 1 Tuner + 1 or more none-Tuner monsters/ Effect: (This card is always treated as Stardust Dragon.) When your opponent activates a Spell/Trap or monster effect, you can tribute this card to negate the activation and apply one of the following effects depending on the negated card:

●: Trap: Destroy all face up Spell or Trap cards controlled by your opponent and until the End Phase of your next turn; Synchro Monsters you control cannot be destroyed in battle and can deal piercing battle damage.)

"Haha, I've missed this!'' Stardust called out with what looked like a smirk on his face, making White Dragon Mask smile. "I'll set two cards face down!'' White Dragon Mask began as two face down cards appeared on his field. "Then I'll special summon White Dragon – Reflector from my hand in DEF mode!'' White Dragon Mask called out as a humanoid white dragon, two claws with five fingers, a long tail, sharp fangs and a tail appeared.

(White Dragon – Reflector/ Level: 4/ Attribute: Light/ Type: Dragon/ Effect/ ATK Points: 1900/ DEF Points: 1600/ Effect: When a White Dragon monster you control is to be destroyed through battle or an effect, you can discard this card from your hand, target one card your opponent controls and destroy that instead. When a White Dragon or Stardust monster is on your field, you can special summon this card from your graveyard or hand (Max. 1)

"Now I'll have Novaforce Stardust Dragon attack Gouki The Blade Ogre!'' White Dragon Mask called out as Stardust unleashed his Cosmic Flare attack, destroying The Blade Ogre. (2500 – 2400 = 100)

Gore life points: 1150 – 100 = 1050.

"I've been too hard on you, I think I'll end my turn''. White Dragon Mask said with a smirk, ending his turn.

Gore life points: 1050/ Number of cards in hand: 1.

"I draw!'' Gore called out as he drew his card, his fighting spirit unbroken from the odds. "I'll play the spell Pot of Greed, which allows me to draw 2 new cards!'' Gore explained as the legendary spell appeared before he drew two cards. "I activate Gouki Re-match!'' Gore called out as another copy of Re-match appeared on his field.

"This spell resurrects two Gouki monsters, so raise up Gouki Moonsault and Twistobra!'' Gore called out as Moonsault and Twistcobra reappeared on his field.

Gouki Twistcobra DEF Points: 0000/ Level: 3.

Gouki Moonsault DEF Points: 0000/ Level: 6.

"Now I play Moonsault's special ability! I return Jet Ogre to the extra deck and add Suprex from my graveyard to my hand!'' Gore explained his monster's special ability as Suprex's card appeared in front of him, before disappearing. "Now let's get it on, my circuit!'' Gore called out as he pointed at the sky as the Link portal appeared in the sky. "The conditions are 2 Gouki monsters! I set Twistcobra and Moonsault on the Link Markers!'' Gore called out as his two monsters turned into tornadoes, going into the bottom and left Link markers.

"I Link summon Link-2 Gouki Jet Ogre!'' Gore called out with a smirk as Jet Ogre appeared once more.

Gouki Jet Ogre ATK Points: 2000/ Link-2/ Link markers: Left, bottom.

"Now Twistcobra's special ability allows me to add another Gouki card from my deck to the hand!'' Gore explained as a card came out of his Duel Disk before it disappeared. "Now I summon Gouki Suprex!'' Gore called out as another Suprex appeared on the field.

Gouki Suprex ATK Points: 1800/ Level: 4.

"I play Suprex's special ability! When his summoned, I'm allowed to special summon a Gouki monster from my hand so raise up Gouki Tagpartner!'' Gore explained his monster's effect as an armored Gouki monster appeared on the field.

Gouki Tagpartner ATK Points: 1700/ Level: 5.

"Now I play Jet Ogre's special ability! By releasing him, all DEF position monsters you control are switched to ATK mode!'' The Gore explained as Jet Ogre shattered with Reflector letting out a roar as his mode was switched.

White Dragon – Reflector ATK Points: 1900.

"And the best part is that all Gouki monsters gain 500 ATK Points when Jet Ogre is sent from the field to the graveyard!'' Gore continued to explain as his two Gouki monsters powered up.

Gouki Suprex ATK Points: 1800 + 500 = 2300.

Gouki Tagpartner ATK Points: 1700 + 500 = 2200.

"But Jet Ogre won't be gone for long! I activate the spell Gouki Grit!'' Gore called out as a spell card appeared on his field. "This spell resurrects one Gouki monster destroyed this turn! Come forth, Jet Ogre!'' The Gore explained as Jet Ogre resurrected.

Gouki Jet Ogre ATK Points: 2000/ Link-2/ Link markers: Left, bottom.

"He brought back Jet Ogre''. White Dragon Mask commented, having watched carefully. "That muscle head has all he needs for a Link-4 monster''. Azure informed his partner, getting White Dragon Mask to look back at his partner. "Time for one last circuit!'' Gore cried out as he pointed at the sky as an Arrowhead appeared.

"The conditions are three or more Gouki monsters! I set Jet Ogre, Suprex and Tagpartner in the Link markers!'' Gore called out as his three monsters turned into tornadoes with Jet Ogre turning into 2 tornadoes as they all entered the left, right, bottom left and bottom right Link markers that glowed red.

"Time for me to stop holding back and let out everything I've got! Come forth Gouki the Giant Ogre!'' The Gore called out as a giant Gouki monster wearing a multi colored outfit appeared.

Gouki the Giant Ogre ATK Points: 3000/ Link-4/ Link markers: Left, right, bottom left and bottom right.

"Whoa, now that's big''. White Dragon Mask stated with wide eyes at how big the Giant Ogre is. "Oh he's more then just big, he packs one hell of a punch! Tagpartner and Suprex's special abilities activate! First I add another Gouki card!'' Gore started to explain as another card slotted out of his deck that he added to his hand.

"And when Tagpartner, whose ATK Points are different then its normal ATK Points is used to Link summon, the Link summoned monster gains 1000 ATK Points!'' Gore explained his monster's special ability as Giant Ogre powered up.

Gouki the Giant Ogre ATK Points: 3000 + 1000 = 4000.

"There's more! When Giant Ogre's ATK points change, they go up further by another 1000 points!'' Gore explained his monster's special ability as Giant Ogre slammed its right fist into one of the buildings, drawing forth a sword.

Gouki the Giant Ogre ATK Points: 4000 + 1000 = 5000.

"Damn. His deck really is a Beat Down deck''. White Dragon Mask said with wide eyes at seeing The Giant Ogre with such high ATK Power. "Plus that thing with 5000 ATK Points currently has its sight set on us!'' Azure reminded his partner as the Giant Ogre turned around to face them, before unleashing a powerful battle cry.

"This has been fun, but it's time for the Gore to end this! Go Giant Ogre, attack Link Wyvern!'' Gore commanded as Giant Ogre charged at Link Wyvern, who didn't show any fear. "Oh yeah, go trap Half or Nothing!'' White Dragon Mask called out as his face down card revealed itself.

"This trap has two effect! One of them is cutting all your monsters' ATK points in half! The second option ends the battle phase! And the choice is yours!'' White Dragon Mask explained his trap's effect as Gore smirked. "Well the Gore will obviously choose to continue!'' Gore made his choice as The Giant Ogre powered down.

Gouki the Giant Ogre ATK Points: 5000 – 2500 = 2500.

The Giant Ogre swung his sword at Link Wyvern, destroying the link monster. (2500 – 1500 = 1000)

White Dragon Mask life points: 2900 – 1000 = 1900.

"Now my field spell loses it's final counter!'' Gore reminded as his Field Spell card reappeared.

Gouki Cage Match counters; 1 – 1 = 0.

"I end my turn here with my Field Spell finally activating! At the end of a battle with all its counters gone, I can summon as many Gouki monsters as possible from my hand and deck!"' Gore explained his monster's special ability, making White Dragon Mask widen his eyes.

"Come forth Gouki Suprex, Twistcobra and Riscorpio!'' Gore called out as a Gouki Suprex, Twistcobra and Riscorpio appeared on his field.

Gouki Suprex ATK Points: 1800/ Level: 4.

Gouki Twistcobra ATK Points: 1600/ Level: 3.

Gouki Riscorpio ATK Points: 2300/ Level: 5.

Gouki the Giant Ogre ATK Points: 2500 + 500 = 3000.

White Dragon Mask life points: 1900/ Number of cards in hand: 5.

Despite the situation, White Dragon Mask was smiling from having such an amazing Duel. "I'm having fun, Gore!'' White Dragon Mask told his opponent, who smiled. "That makes two of us and I'm gonna settle this intense Duel on my next turn''. Gore replied to White Dragon Mask, having enjoyed this Duel as well.

"We'll see about that! Since you showed me your full power, I'll return the favor and call on one of my mightiest beasts!'' White Dragon Mask called out with narrowed eyes as the top card of his deck started glowing, getting Azure's attention. "A glowing card, that's new?'' Azure said in confusion at seeing the glowing card.

(Play Yugioh 5d's Majestic Star Dragon theme)

"My turn now, draw!'' White Dragon Mask called out as he drew the top card of his deck before adding it to his hand. "I play the spell Tag out!" White Dragon Mask called out as a Spell appeared on his field with the card's image showing Junk Warrior tagging out Junk Berserker in a wrestling ring.

(Tag out/ Type: Spell/ Effect: Select one monster on your field, return it to the Hand and Special Summon another monster from your hand.)

"This spell allows me to return Reflector to my hand and summon another monster from my hand! Return Reflector and make room for Stardust Xiaolong!'' White Dragon Mask explained as a portal appeared behind Reflector who went in, before Stardust Xiaolong came out.

Stardust Xiaolong ATK Points: 100/ Level: 1.

"Now I summon the Tuner monster, Majestic Dragon!'' White Dragon Mask cried out as a portal appeared before Majestic Dragon flew out of it, flying into the sky.

Majestic Dragon ATK Points: 0000/ Level: 1.

"No ATK Points, no problem! Majestic Dragon tunes with level 1 Stardust Xiaolong and level 8 Novaforce Stardust Dragon!'' White Dragon Mask called out as Stardust Xiaolong and Novaforce Stardust Dragon took to the skies, while Majestic Dragon spins around before it stopped and grew bigger, absorbing the two Dragons.

"I harness all the power of the stars, I channel all the might of the dragons, I Synchro Summon the Majestic Star Dragon!" White Dragon Mask called out as Novaforce Stardust Dragon turned into 8 lights while Stardust Xiaolong turned into 1 light before all lights lined up in Majestic Dragon, before a bright beam appeared that absorbed Majestic Dragon and the lights.

From the beam appeared the great and powerful Majestic Star Dragon, flying into the air as it let out its great shine.

Majestic Star Dragon ATK Points: 3800/ Level: 10.

"Shiny''. Azure said as Majestic Star Dragon flew alongside White Dragon Mask. "Oh that's not all he can do! I play Majestic Star Dragon's special ability! Now your great Ogre loses its special ability!'' White Dragon Mask explained his monster's ability as Majestic Star Dragon's Wings shined on Giant Ogre, who started to get drained of his energy.

"Oh no! With Giant Ogre's ability negated, he won't survive the next attack!'' Gore called out in shock at seeing his strongest monster's special ability negated. "Go Majestic Star Dragon, attack the Giant Ogre!'' White Dragon Mask called out as Majestic Star Dragon tucked in its wings before it charged at the Giant Ogre.

"I play Twistcobra's special ability! I tribute Riscorpio to increase the Giant Ogre's ATK Points!'' Gore called out as Riscorpio disappeared and the Giant Ogre powered up.

Gouki The Giant Ogre ATK Points: 3000 + 2300 = 5300.

"5300 ATK Points!'' Azure called out in surprise at Giant Ogre's ATK Points. "It was a fun Duel, but it's over''. Gore said to White Dragon Mask with a smirk, who returned the favor. "Yes it is…with me as the victor! Go trap card, Synchro Big Tornado!'' White Dragon Mask called out as he shifted his Duel Hover board sideways as his trap card revealed itself.

"With this trap, I can select a Synchro monster on my field and a monster on your field! That monster you control loses ATK Points equal to my Synchro monster's DEF Points!'' White Dragon Mask explained his trap's effect as the card fired a beam at Giant Ogre, powering it down.

Gouki The Giant Ogre ATK Points: 5300 – 3000 = 2300.

"No way!'' Gore called out in surprise at seeing White Dragon Mask counter his strategy. "Yes way! Go Majestic Star Dragon, Star Shine Shred!'' White Dragon Mask called out as Majestic Star Dragon charged and pierced through the Giant Ogre, causing an explosion that blew Gore off his Duel Hover board. (3800 – 2300 = 1500)

Gore Life Points: 1050 – 1500 = 0000.

Gore imagined himself falling down on his back in a wrestling ring with White Dragon Mask standing over him with the bell ringing, signalling the match was over. "IT'S OVER! WHITE DRAGON MASK EMERGES AS THE VICTOR!'' MC called out from the real world as people cheered for the amazing Duel they've witnessed.

Gore landed on a rooftop from the force of Majestic Star Dragon's attack on his back, before he started laughing. "That was incredible! It was as fun as my Duel against Playmaker was!'' Gore laughed out in joy as he looked at White Dragon Mask, who smiled at him as he continued to ride the Data Storm wind.

"Even when he lost, he smiled''. Azure remarked, surprised that Gore smiled even when he lost the duel. "Of course he smiled. He duled with everything he had so there wouldn't be any regrets''. White Dragon mask told his partner, making Azure look down in thought. "I see''. Azure replied to his partner as White Dragon Mask continued riding his hover board.


(Later in the real world)

The data surrounding Ash's body disappeared as he logged out of Link VRAINS. "Well that was fun''. Ash said with a smile on his face. "You can say that again''. Azure said in agreement to what his partner said.

Ash saw Saya seating down on the couch, watching TV of his Duel against Gore before she turned to look at him. "Papa, welcome back!'' Saya greeted as she got off the couch and went to give a hug to Ash, who hugged her back. "I'm back''. Ash replied to his daughter, happy to see her face after what happened today. Ash then noticed that Lulu wasn't in the room, getting him to look down at Saya.

"Saya? Where's Lulu?'' Ash asked his daughter about where his girlfriend is. "Mama is waiting for you in your room. She wants to give you a reward for your duel today''. Saya told her father, telling him where Lulu is.

"I see. Thanks, Saya''. Ash thanked his daughter, before he took off his New Duel Disk and handed it to Saya. "Why don't you have some fun with Azure and everyone''. Ash said to his daughter, thinking Saya would like to have some fun. "Ahhh, thank you, Papa''. Saya said thanked her father, before she ran to her room. "Hey, wait a second!'' Azure cried out, still inside Ash's Duel Disk, before Saya entered her room.

Ash turned the TV off, before he walked to his room, opening the door to see something unexpected. Lulu was lying down on the king size bed that both she and Ash shared, wearing nothing but a purple bra and purple panties, showing off her body with her hair loose. "Welcome back, Satoshi''. Lulu said to her lover with a loving tone.

Ash's face turned bright red. "L-L-L-Lulu!'' Ash called out with his face red with steam coming out. Lulu giggled at Ash, before she got up from the bed and walked over to her mate; placing her hands on his face before kissed him on the lips, closing her eyes in bliss.

Ash's eyes widen, before he closed them and return the kiss, wrapping her hands around Lulu's waist. The kiss continued for 10 seconds, before Ash and Lulu pulled away for air, before they kissed again. Ash's hands started going to Lulu's legs and lifted them up with Lulu wrapping her legs around Ash. Ash and lulu continued to make out, before the White Dragon Emperor fall in the bed with his mate still in his arms.

That night, Ash and Lulu had a passionate night together, enjoying their alone time together.


And done! Next up is the Arc v chapter 2.
