Chapter 7: Witch of the wind.

It has been a day since White Dragon Mask and Playmaker's Duel against Varis and Red Knight, along with the Ignis getting their bodies back. Today however, was a day off to calm down and relax. Ash, Yusaku, Kolter and Lulu were all hanging outside at Den City's main square. Ash and Yusaku were eating hot dogs of their own, talking about dueling strategies, while seated on wooden chairs. Lulu was helping Kolter out in the Hotdog cart, helping cook Hot Dogs because she wanted to repay Kolter for helping them.

"Well, what do you know? Something smells good over here". Emma said with a smile as she walked up to the cart to order a meal, after working on her investigation. "Best dogs in town". Kolter greeted as he continued cooking hot dogs, while Lulu was behind him, making coffee. Lulu, Yusaku and Ash were wearing their school clothes, but the purple haired girl had a white apron on at the moment.

"Then you know what, make it a double and don't skimp on the ketchup". Emma said as she held up her right hand with her index and middle fingers up. "You got it". Kolter replied to Emma with a smile, before he turned to look at Lulu. "Lulu, would you mind getting some coffee for our customer?" Kolter requested said from the girl helping out, who turned around and gave him a smile. "No problem". Lulu replied with a smile, before she went off to make another coffee for Emma.

At the front, sitting on wooden benches were Yusaku and Ash with the two just finishing their hotdogs with the White Dragon Emperor having his Duel Disk resting on his lap. Azure was in his eye form and had his eye closed to avoid attracting unwanted attention from anyone.

"Hotdogs are like the perfect sandwich, right?" Emma began; unaware that Yusaku and Ash were listening in on the conversation. "Even the worse ones are pretty good". The young female continued as Ash and Yusaku looked over their shoulders to look at her. "If you meant perfect food, I feel ya. But it's not a sandwich". Kolter corrected her, picking the bread with the tongs that he was using with his right hand.

"Oh, come on now. Please don't tell me you're one of those people. Any filling between a couple slices of bread is a sandwich". Emma said with a confident smile on her face as the two boys continued to eat their hotdogs. "But it's one piece of bread with a slit". Kolter replied with a smile, feeling no annoyance with this conversation and just amusement. "Don't you debit me on this? The customer is always right". Emma retaliated with her usual smile on her face. "Yeah, true, except when they're wrong". Kolter replied to the female. Lulu walked over to the counter, having finished the cup of coffee and placed it in front of Emma.

"Here you go, miss". Lulu said with a smile, getting Emma's attention as she looked at the younger female. "Well now, who might you be?" Emma asked, now getting a good look at Lulu and how beautiful she was. "My name is Lulu, nice to meet you". The Lyrilusc Duelist answered with a smile. "Lulu... that's a beautiful name you have. So, do you have any favorite duelists in LINK VRAINS?" Emma asked the girl, sounding interested with the conversation she was having with Lulu. "You could say that. My two favorites are White Dragon Mask and Purple Night". The purple haired girl replied to the older female with a smile, increasing Emma's interest in her.

"Is that right? You're a fan of White Dragon Mask and Purple Night?" Emma questioned the purple haired girl, which Lulu nodded her head. "That's nice I'll admit, but I want to battle them and Playmaker someday". Emma confessed, surprising Lulu at her answer. "Here you go". Kolter said as he handed Emma a bag that was full of the food she ordered. "Are you a Duelist too?" Lulu asked Emma as the older female picked the bag and cup of coffee up. "You bet I am". Emma replied, keeping a good hold on the bag and cup of coffee with both her hands. "Well anyway, I hope you come back again to continue our combo". Kolter said to Emma, getting her attention as she turned to faced the unknown hacker.

"Sure thing, if these 'sandwiches' are as good as you claim". Emma bid farewell as she walked away with her food and coffee in hand. "It's really too bad. She'd be my type if she knew what a sandwich was". Kolter commented as he and Lulu watched Emma leave. Kolter then yawned as Yusaku and Ash walked up to the van with the White Dragon Emperor equipped with his Duel Disk. "You tired Kolter?" Ash asked his friend with his arms behind his head. "Totally". The adult replied to the White Dragon Emperor, sounding a bit tired.

"Didn't get my wakes. I was up late scouring the net. Folks are constantly uploading picks and video footage of Playmaker, Purple Night, Lunalight Dancer and White Dragon Mask, so I have to manually stamp out what my bots don't catch". Kolter explained to the gang, getting a slightly surprised look from Yusaku. "That sounds like a chore, but you don't have to do it alone". Yusaku told his friend, receiving a nod of agreement from Ash and Lulu. "He's right; we could help out if you want". Ash offered to Kolter, more than okay to help him out. "Appreciated, but I'm good. Now let's get to work". Kolter replied to the White Dragon Emperor, receiving nods from the three teenagers as Ash and Yusaku boarded the van.

Kolter closed the van, keeping anyone from seeing them work. Inside Ash and Yusaku took their seats, while Lulu and Kolter put the cooking equipment away. Ash and Lulu placed their Duel Disks on the table, where Azure and Raven emerged and grew to their full size. "Alright, where's Ai? What did you do to him this time?" Azure questioned Yusaku as Kolter and Lulu took their aprons off.

"He left him at home". Kolter answered for the 16-year-old as he took his seat in front of the cabinet. "He provided more of a distraction, than be of help to us". Yusaku told the White Dragon Ignis, getting frustrated looks from both Azure and Raven. "And I needed some alone time". The young man added, getting Ash to look at him with his right eyebrow up.

"You're still thinking about what Varis and Red Knight said, about Azure and the others, right?" Ash asked his comrade, getting the younger male to look and nod to him. "Yeah". The 16-year-old answered to the 17-year-old as Lulu took her seat, sitting next to her boyfriend and partner. "Is it really that hard to believe that we have free will of our own?" Raven asked the humans, getting Lulu to shake her head at her partner.

"No, of course not Raven. It just shows that you're living creatures". Lulu replied to her Ignis partner, getting the Bird Ignis to look at her. "Thank you Lulu". Raven thanked her partner for her words and for calling her a living creature. "My analysis doesn't confirm Varis' claims. But it doesn't deny them either". Kolter said as he leaned back on his chair, getting everyone's attention.

"So I have no clue if Ai, Azure and Raven have free will or not". The adult male added, getting Azure and Ash to look at him. "The proof is right here in front of us. Azure, Carla, Raven and Ai have proven to have free will inside them". Ash told the older male with narrowed eyes, getting Kolter to open one of his eyes at the younger male. "What I'm concerned about is what Varis said about free will being a threat to mankind and leading the world to destruction". Yusaku remarked, remembering when Varis said that the Ignis' free will lead the world to destruction.

"Don't ask me buddy, I just run a hotdog stand". Kolter replied to his comrade as he stopped leaning on his chair. "We have no desire to wage war on humanity; we just want to live in peace". Raven told the humans as she sat down on her knees, having never wished to harm anyone. "We know Raven; you don't need to keep telling us that". Lulu told the female Ignis, giving her a smile. "So Ai's home alone, is that right? Poor fella is probably bored out of his mind, sitting around and doing nothing". Kolter said out loud, making Azure chuckle. "Don't count on it. If I know my buddy well, he's probably found a way to entertain himself". Azure said with his arms crossed, although he was wondering what his friend was currently up to.

However, Kolter then noticed something missing, or rather some people. "Hey, where are Saya and Celina?" Kolter asked in wonder as he turned to look at Ash, wondering where the two females were. "They already logged into LINK VRAINS back at the hotel". Ash answered the adult man, telling him that the two females have already gone into LINK VRAINS. Kolter grew a concerned look on his face at hearing that. "Are you sure it's a good idea to let a little girl like Saya into LINK VRAINS?" The purple haired man questioned the White Dragon Emperor, disliking the idea of a small child being in a dangerous place like LINK VRAINS.

"Saya may be young, but she is an incredible Duelist". Lulu told the adult male with a confident smile, having faith in her daughter's skills and that she can take care of herself. "Besides, Celina will be with her. They'll be fine". Ash added with a smile, getting a nod of understanding from Kolter before he went back to working on the computer. What the humans didn't notice was the sad look on Raven's face as she looked down at the ground and the concerned one on Azure's face that he was giving the Bird Ignis.

(VRAINS opening 1: With the Wind)

A digital tunnel appeared with balls of data going down, before a glowing eye appeared. The eye then disappeared to reveal a data Duel Disk attached to a digital shadow of Playmaker riding on his Duel Board and holding his left arm up. The digital copy rode his Duel Board, before he transformed into a bright flash of light. The light changed to several different colored birds flying into the digital tunnel, before another bright flash appeared. The flash cleared and the digital tunnel transformed into a bright light blue world with the opening title 'Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS: White Dragon Emperor' in front of the screen, before it zoomed in.

"I run Across the universe".

The screen changed to show the slightly clouded blue sky above Den City with the sun shining. The screen then changed to show a street of Den City, where Naoki Shima running up to Yusaku, Ash and Rose, carrying his school bag on his back and waving his right hand to them. Ash and Yusaku paid no attention to him as they carried their school bags over their right shoulders. Rose noticed him as she walked besides her brother, holding her bag with both her hands in front of her, before she lifted her right hand and waved back at Naoki. The wind softly blew past Yusaku and Ash, blowing their hair in the breeze, but the two tilted their heads down slightly.

"At the speed of light".

On a nearby bridge full of cars and buses, a black clothed male with a hood on, jogging at the left side of the bridge.

"Begin Loading".

The camera zoomed in to show that the black clothed male was actually Gore, who was lightly breathing as he jogged.

"Open the door to dreams".

The screen changed to show that the day had changed to late afternoon with the sun begging to set for the day. Watching the sun set was Skye Zaizen, before she turned to her left and showed the sad look on her face. Nearby on a grassy hill, Lulu, Celina, Rin, Zuzu and Saya were all watching the sunset as well. Celina was lying down on the grass with her hands folded behind her head; Rin was sitting down with her left leg pulled up and her left hand hanging on it. Zuzu was standing up as she watched the sunset with her hands folded behind her and finally, Lulu was sitting down on the grass with her hands wrapped around Saya.

The screen changed to show Kolter watching the sunset from in his van on the driveway, holding up a hotdog with his right hand. The screen changed once more to show that it was now late in the dark for Den City. Akira Zaizen was standing next to his car, looking off into the distance with his right hand in his pocket.

"VRAINS spreads".

"Believe in myself".

The screen changed to show the bright city of Den City with the buildings night lights up and multiple screens flying around the city. Standing in the middle of the light city was Yusaku, Ash and Rose standing besides one another, carrying their school bags. Rose was standing at the left, Yusaku in the middle and Ash was at the right.

Different colored screens came and went across the city, but the three paid no attention to them as they continued to face forward. Just then, a bright light came up from behind the three and completely lit up the screen with only the three teenager's bodies that can be seen in the light. The screen zoomed into to show a close up of Yusaku's face, before zooming out, and then changed to show Ash's and repeat, before changing to Rose's face as well.

"VRAINS continues".

The screen changed back to show the three standing in the bright light. Just then, their Ignis partners, Ai, Azure and Blaze all came out of nowhere and flew forward. They disappeared and were replaced with brief flashes of child version of Yusaku, Ash and Rose. The images were replaced by Playmaker's left arm with his Duel Disk activating.

Ai appeared in eye form in the orb of Playmaker's Duel Disk with a data stream inside of his eye. The screen changed to show Playmaker's right hand with the thumb, index and middle fingers out, while the ring and pinkie fingers were tucked in. Playmaker waved his hand down, leaving a golden line of energy with his golden stripes glowing.

The screen changed to show Yusaku standing up, holding his left arm up with his Duel Disk strapped on with his deck slotted in. Just then, the words "Into the VRAINS" appeared on the blade of the Duel Disk in light blue writing, before Yusaku's body began glowing blue.

"The circuit draws the future".

Inside of LINK VRAINS, three flashes, a light blue, rosy red and silvery white appeared in the Data Material wind, before they all cleared to reveal Playmaker, White Dragon Mask and Black Rose Dragon Mask all surfing on their Duel Boards besides one another with their Duel Disks activated, holding five cards with their left hands and facing forward.

The screen zoomed in as the three Duelists placed their right hands on the top cards of their decks, before the camera shifted to their determined filled faces. The three then drew their cards in dramatic fashions, leaving different coloured flares of light as they swiped their hands out.

The screen then changed to show their second ace monsters appearing in dramatic fashions. First, Decode Talker flew in with his energy sword in his right hand, before he spun around and took a stance with his blade rested on his right shoulder and his left hand close to taking hold of it. Then, White Dragon – Blue Link Dragon and Rose Dragon – Frozen Blue Rose flew in from above, before they flew past each other. The two then stopped besides one another and roared.

"I'll grab it with my own hands. Yeah"

The screen zoomed out to up above to show the three Duelists holding their right hands out in different styles. Playmaker had his right hand out to the side, White Dragon Mask had his right hand held out forward and Rose Dragon Mask held her right hand up into the sky. Then, their main monsters, Firewall Dragon, Novaforce Stardust Dragon and Black Rose Dragon flew over them, flying besides each other.

The three dragons then stopped and reared their head up, before unleashing powerful roars all together as they flew behind their own Duelists besides their fellow monsters. Firewall Dragon with Decode Talker, Novaforce Stardust Dragon and White Dragon – Blue Link Dragon and Black Rose Dragon with Rose Dragon – Frozen Blue Rose. All of them faced forward with Decode Talker holding his blade out, ready to take on whatever challenges await them.

With small bits of fire briefly appearing, the screen then changed to show an army of Knights of Hanoi gathered together behind Specter.

"Access!"

The screen changed to briefly show the right side of Varis with a red background, before changing to show the left side of Black Dragon Mask. The screen changed to show Topologic Bomber Dragon flying over the city of LINK VRAINS, releasing shockwaves of energy as it flew towards the camera.

"Star swirling, Data Storm!"

Topologic Bomber Dragon released a powerful roar with the orb inside its mouth gleaming brightly. The screen changed to show a purple Data Storm, a white one and a rosy red one beginning to take shape, before all three began ragging across LINK VRAINS.

"I'm now With the Wind".

The screen changed to show Playmaker, White Dragon Mask and Black Rose all still riding atop their Duel Boards together in the Data Material wind with the end of their boards leaving a electric wind surge trail. The three Duelists held their left arms up in front of them with Playmaker leading them.

"Link with my soul".

All three of them then curved to the right, kicking up Data Material wind at the camera, before it cleared to reveal Playmaker, White Dragon Mask and Black Rose Dragon Mask surfing forward towards the screen. The camera zoomed in on Playmaker's face first, then switched over to White Dragon Mask's, then finally Black Rose Dragon Mask's face with all three of them having determined filled faces.

"Speed up, Data Storm!"

The screen changed to a light blue world filled with hearts, before Blue Angel appeared, giving a wink with her left eye as she spun around, leaving a blue tail with her left hand out. She then stopped fully with her left hand up towards the sky with a bright smile. The blue world changed to purple as Blue Angel's ace monster, Trickstar Holly Angel, appeared with a wide smile, before she flew out and took a pose with her whip.

Then, the world changed from purple to light green as Holly Angel flew to behind her Duelist and taking a stance, while Trickstar Divaridis appeared in front of the camera, giving a wink as she held her microphone up to her face with her right hand and held her left hand out, before she flew to Blue Angel's right side and posed.

"Now Win the Race".

The world changed to a rosy red as Trickstar Bella Madonna appeared and swung her axe down, before she joined her fellow Trickstars on Blue Angel's left. The world changed into a four split screen with all four previous colors from before behind Blue Angel and her monsters.

"Connected world".

The screen changed to show the smiling face of the Gore, before he fell back to show that he was surfing atop his Duel Board. Then, Goku The Great Ogre appeared on the left side and Gouki The Giant Ogre appeared on the right side, before Gore flew past his monsters in between them and gave a smirk as he held his fists up.

"No matter when".

The screen changed to show the real world, before Emma drove out of a tree and into the air on her motorcycle. Her hair blew in the breeze as the camera zoomed in on her face, before it shot out upon Emma jumping off of her motorcycle and throwing her helmet off. The two virtually disappeared as Emma fell, before her body began glowing light purple.

She spun around as the purple glowing came off of her as sparkles, revealing that she had changed into her avatar, Ghost Gal, which she stared into the screen.

"Nothing is impossible".

In a virtual world, red data appeared and came together, before forming 5 circles that changed to light green. Varis and Black Dragon Mask appeared with their left hands up as the five circles took positions with a familiar creature slowly appearing out of nowhere behind the leaders of the Knights of Hanoi. The five circles then glowed brightly, before dyeing down to reveal that they were the five crystals of Cracking Dragon, who was now behind Varis and Black Dragon Mask.

"Strive for hope".

The screen shifted from Varis and Black to Cracking Dragon's face as the Machine-type gathered energy and formed a blue sphere in front of its open mouth. The screen changed to show LINK VRAINS again with Playmaker, White Dragon Mask and Black Rose Dragon Mask riding their Duel Boards.

Playmaker's stripes gleamed golden as he, White Dragon Mask and Black Rose Dragon Mask placed their right hands on their decks and took hold of the top cards. The camera zoomed in on Playmaker's face, before it zoomed out as he, White Dragon Mask and Black Rose Dragon Mask all drew their cards in dramatic fashions, leaving different coloured flares of light. Playmaker's was orange, White Dragon Mask's was silvery white and Black Rose Dragon Mask left a rosy red one.

"And ride the wind!"

Varis narrowed his eyes at the sight of them, before he swiped his right hand out to show that he and Black Dragon Mask were now on their Duel Boards. Two bright flashes appeared behind them, before their ace monsters, Borreload Dragon and Eclipserage Deadstar Dragon appeared from them and roared.

Decode Talker and Novaforce Stardust Dragon appeared out of nowhere, before the Cyberse Monster flew up towards Borreload Dragon and Novaforce Stardust Dragon flew towards Eclipserage Deadstar Dragon. The two dragons swung their fists at one another and clashed, while Decode Talker swung his blade and Borreload Dragon thrust his right claw out.

"Oh yeah!"

The four monsters collided with one another, creating a great light of power that blinded the screen, before it cleared to reveal Cyberse Wizard in a purple world. He spun around and took his activated staff into both his hands and released a light blue energy wave. The purple world changed to a yellow one as Link Slayer then appeared with his energy blades activated with the light blue energy wave that Cyberse Wizard released being his right energy blade.

He swiped his left blade down, before he left the screen as the world changed into navy coloured one with Bitron flying down towards the screen from above. He flew up to the screen with the camera zooming in on its left eye, before a brief flash appeared.

From the flash, Playmaker, White Dragon Mask, Black Rose Dragon Mask, Black Dragon Mask and Varis all appeared on their Duel Boards, taking a moment to glare at one another, before they all passed each other. Then, they turned into different colours that fell into a black portal, before Gore, Blue Angel, Purple Night, Green Witch, Music Singer and Lunalight Dancer appeared on their Duel Boards as well, before turning into different coloured lights and fell into the black portal as well.

The black portal changed into the same tunnel from the beginning with digital spheres falling into it, before it changed to Den City.

"Oh yeah!"

A pure white bird flew up from the ground and into the sky, heading towards the sun.

(With the Wind finished)

---

Inside of LINK VRAINS, Celina and Saya were enjoying themselves. The two females were walking down the street as their LINK VRAINS characters; Celina was Lunalight Dancer, while Saya was her new avatar that she named Pink Dragoon Mask. Saya's avatar looked like an exact copy of Ash's White Dragon Mask avatar, only everything like the clothes, wings, claws and tail were pink instead of silvery-white. On Pink Dragon Mask's left forearm was a pink star shape Duel Disk.

Currently, Lunalight Dancer was holding Pink Dragon Mask's right hand with her left as they walked through the streets of LINK VRAINS, ignoring the many stares directed at them. All the Duelists were staring at the two of them; the guys had heart-shaped eyes as they stared at Lunalight Dancer, while the girls were looking at Pink Dragon Mask with adoring expressions.

The two females ignored the stares directed at them; their main focus was on each other. Inside of Lunalight Dancer's Duel Disk, Carla watched the events happen with an amused look at how everyone was looking at her partner and 7-year-old girl. She kept silent to avoid drawing unwanted attention.

Lunalight Dancer and Pink Dragon Mask kept walking around the streets of LINK VRAINS, enjoying their time together. However, someone stood in their path, standing 5 feet away from them. It was a male that looked to be around Lunalight Dancer's age, wearing gold and black armor like that of a knight, he even had a red cape and a golden helmet that showed his gold eyes.

The knight soon walked up to the two, getting a bit too close to Lunalight Dancer for the matter. He was basically in front of her and leaning towards her. "Hey baby, names Lancelot. What's your name?" Lancelot flirted with Lunalight Dancer, the lust in his eyes visible for everyone. However, Lunalight Dancer just ignored him and kept her focus Pink Dragon Mask.

The two females walked past the man, making Lancelot widen his eyes in surprise before he ran past them and stopped in front of Lunalight Dancer again. "Hey beautiful, are you there?" Lancelot asked sternly with a forced smile, hoping to get her attention. But as usual, Lunalight Dancer just ignored him and walked past him Pink Dragon Mask. This got on Lancelot's nerves, getting steaming mad, before he finally snapped.

"Hey! Look at me when I'm talking!" Lancelot shouted out, getting everyone's attention. Pink Dragon Mask looked at Sharp Eyes with an angry face with her tail slamming the ground. "Leave my mommy alone, you big meanie!" Pink Dragon Mask cried out to Sharp Eyes, getting everyone to gasp in shock about what they heard.

Lunalight Dancer was actually a mother?! And that little girl was actually her daughter!? This got everyone to talk about what they learn just now about Lunalight Dancer having a daughter. The boys went to their knees and kept pounding the ground, crying a waterfall, while the girls were jealous at Lunalight Dancer even more. Lancelot, during all the confusion, decided to use this to his advantage.

"So, the little girl wants to protect her mother, huh? Then why don't you Duel me?" Lancelot said as he pointed at Pink Dragon Mask with a smirk, getting everyone to gasp in shock upon someone challenging a little girl to a Duel.

Pink Dragon Mask, despite the situation; looked at Sharp Eyes calmly, until she smiled at him. "Okay!" Pink Dragon Mask said with a smile, shocking people yet again. Pink Dragon Mask then turned towards Lunalight Dancer, who looked at her. "Mommy, can I Duel this guy for you?" Pink Dragon Mask asked her mother innocently, which Lunalight Dancer smiled at her daughter. "Very well, just have fun and don't damage him too much". Lunalight Dancer told her daughter, okay with her Dueling. This made Pink Dragon Mask happy, now finally getting to have fun in LINK VRAINS like everyone else.

Later, Pink Dragon Mask and Lancelot were on Duel Boards, riding on the Data Stream, getting already for a Speed Duel. Lancelot's Duel Board had a knight like design, while Pink Dragon Mask's Duel Board was pink and had a dragon like design. "Get ready to lose!" Lancelot shouted at his opponent with a smirk on his face, pretty confident of his victory. "The only one that's about to lose is you, meanie!" Pink Dragon Mask replied as she held up her Duel Disk.

Her Duel Disk looked like Purple Night's Duel Disk, only pink. Lancelot gritted his teeth in annoyance at Pink Dragon Mask's words, before he held up his silver Duel Disk on his left forearm. "Let's Speed Duel!" Pink Dragon Mask and Lancelot cried out as the Speed Duel began.

Pink Dragon Mask Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 4.

Lancelot Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 4.

"I'll go first!" Pink Dragon Mask exclaimed as she swiped her right hand in front of her, before four cards appeared in front of her. 'Wow, not a bad hand. Hmmm, I know what combo to use'. The 7-year-old thought to herself with a wide smile on her face.

"I'll set two face down cards…" Pink Dragon Mask began as two face down cards appeared in front of her. "…Then I'll set a monster face down in DEF Mode and end my turn!" The little girl finished as a face down card in sideways position appeared in front of her.

Lancelot Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 4.

Lancelot burst out laughing at seeing this move. "You call that a move? I'll show you a real one, my turn!" Lancelot laughed out as he drew his card from his Duel Disk, before it disappeared and five cards appeared in front of him, making the knight smirk. "I'll start by activating the Spell, Ancient Rules!" Lancelot began as the Spell appeared in front of him.

"With this card, I can Special Summon a Level 5 or higher Normal Monster from my hand, like my Gaia the Fierce Knight!" Lancelot began as a portal appeared and Gaia came out riding his horse.

Gaia the Fierce Knight ATK Points: 2300/ Level: 7.

'He's using cards that uncle Yugi uses'. Pink Dragon Mask thought to herself with narrowed eyes. "Next I'll Normal Summon Marauding Captain!" Lancelot continued as Marauding Captain appeared, wielding two swords.

Marauding Captain ATK Points: 1200/ Level: 3.

"I activate Marauding Captain's special ability! When this card is Normal Summoned, I can Special Summon a Level 4 or below Warrior type monster from my hand, so arise Shield Warrior!" Lancelot explained as another portal appeared and out came Shield Warrior.

Shield Warrior DEF Points: 1600/ Level: 3.

"Now all the pieces are here! With these three monsters, I create the Circuit of the warriors!" Lancelot cried out as he held out his right hand to the sky, with the link portal appearing. "I set Gaia the Fierce Knight, Shield Warrior and Marauding Captain on the Link Arrows!" Lancelot continued as his three Warrior-Types turned into tornadoes that flew and entered the Top, Bottom Left and Bottom Right Link Arrows. "Appear Black Luster Soldier – Soldier of Chaos!" Lancelot called out as a monster that looked like Black Luster Soldier came out, wielding a sword and shield.

Black Luster Soldier – Soldier of Chaos ATK Points: 3000/ Link-3/ Link Arrows: Top, Bottom Left and Bottom Right.

"A Black Luster Soldier Link Monster, that's so cool!" Pink Dragon Mask exclaimed in excitement at seeing this, now making it a goal to get one for her uncle Yugi. "Now I equip my Black Luster Soldier – Soldier of Chaos with the Fairy Meteor Crush Spell card!" Lancelot called out as a Spell card appeared in front of him.

"Sorry, but not gonna happen! I play the Trap card, Solemm Judgment!" Pink Dragon Mask called out as her face down card revealed itself. "By paying half my Life Points, your Fairy Meteor Crush card is negated and destroyed!" Pink Dragon Mask explained as a red aura surrounded her as her Life Points went down.

Pink Dragon Mask Life Points: 4000 – 2000 = 2000.

Lightning came out of Solemm Judgment's card and stroke Fairy Meteor Crush's card, destroying it, making Lancelot grit his teeth. "No matter, Soldier of Chaos attacks your face down monster!" Lancelot commanded as his Link Monster charged at Pink Dragon Mask's face down monster, which revealed itself and Grave Squirmer appeared.

Grave Squirmer DEF Points: 0/ Level: 1.

Soldier of Chaos slashed at Grave Squirmer, who took the hit, but wasn't destroyed. "When Grave Squirmer is destroyed by battle, I can destroy one card on the field, like your Soldier of Chaos!" Pink Dragon Mask explained as grave Squirmer tackled Soldier of Chaos. "If a Level 7 or higher monster was used to Link Summon this card, Soldier of Chaos can't be targeted or destroyed by card effects, so that was a waste!" Lancelot retaliated as Soldier of Chaos slammed its shield onto Grave Squirmer, destroying him.

"Hahaha, nice try kid! I activate Soldier of Chaos' second ability! If this card destroys a monster in battle, I can select three different effects, and I choose the option that increases its ATK Points by 1500!" Lancelot explained with a smirk as Soldier of Chaos powered up.

Black Luster Soldier – Soldier of Chaos ATK Points: 3000 + 1500 = 4500.

"Hahaha, I'm untouchable! I'll end my turn here now!" Lancelot laughed out as he declared his turn over, feeling pretty confident.

Pink Dragon Mask Life Points: 2000/ Number of cards in hand: 1.

"No one's untouchable no matter what kind of monster they have, and I'll show you! My turn now, I draw!" Pink Dragon Mask called out as she drew her card from her deck, before it disappeared and two cards appeared in front of her. "At this moment, I activate my Skill, Sacred Call!" Pink Dragon Mask called out as she held out her right hand to the sky as her whole color pink changed into dark blue, red and yellow.

(Sacred Call/ Type: Skill/ Effect: If your Life Points are lower than your opponent's Life Points by 2000 or more, you can add one 'Lord' Monster card from your deck to your hand)

"This Spell allows me to add a 'Lord' Monster card from my deck to my hand!" Pink Dragon Mask began as she held her right claw in front of her, before a dark light appeared above it. The light disappeared to reveal a single card, before it disappeared. "Now I summon Chaos Summing Beast!" Pink Dragon Mask called out as a Fiend-Type demonic looking monster appeared on her field.

Chaos Summoning Beast ATK Points: 0000/ Level: 1.

"Now I activate his special ability! By tributing it, I can Summon the Sacred Beast, Ravial, Lord of Phantasms!" Pink Dragon Mask explained as her Chaos Summoning Beast burst into a pillar of black energy, before it cleared to reveal Ravial, who roared.

Ravial, Lord of Phantasms ATK Points: 4000/ Level: 10.

Everyone in Link VRAINS looked up at Ravial in disbelief, with the Sacred Beast floating behind Pink Dragon Mask. "W-W-What the heck is that thing?!" Lancelot questioned in disbelief, feeling fear at the sight of Ravial.

"This is Ravial, Lord of Phantasms, one of the Sacred Beasts! Now I activate the Quick-Play Spell Concentrating Current!" Pink Dragon Mask called out as her last face down card revealed itself. "This Spell increases Ravial's ATK Points by his DEF Points! Since he has 4000 DEF Points, Ravial's ATK Points go straight up to 8000!" Pink Dragon Mask explained with a wild smile as Ravial was covered in a green aura.

Ravial, Lord of Phantasms ATK Points: 4000 + 4000 = 8000.

Lancelot now looked afraid as Ravial turned around and glared at him. "Now go Ravial, attack Lancelot's Solider of Chaos!" Pink Dragon Mask commanded as Ravial roared before he thrust his right claw out. "At this moment, I activate the effect of Ravial, Lord of Phantasms - Shimmering Scraper from my hand!" Pink Dragon Mask called out as she held out a card that looked like an exact copy of the original Ravial.

"By discarding this card, Ravial's ATK Points are doubled for the rest of this turn". Pink Dragon Mask explained as she sent the card to the graveyard as a blue aura surrounded Ravial, increasing his ATK Points.

Ravial, Lord of Phantasms ATK Points: 8000 X 2 = 16000.

"16000 ATK Points!?" Lancelot called out in disbelief as Ravial stopped its claw in front of Solider of Chaos, before the Sacred Beast pocked the Link Monster, destroying him. (16000 – 4500 = 11500)

Lancelot Life Points: 4000 – 11500 = 0000.

Winner: Pink Dragon Mask!

The explosion was so powerful that it blew Lancelot off his Duel Board and into the air, crying out before he disappeared from view. Nearby on rooftops, the same people from before had wide eyes of disbelief at seeing the one turn kill by Pink Dragon Mask. On a rooftop by herself, Lunalight Dancer stood by the edge with her arms crossed with Carla in her eye form on her partner's Duel Disk. The two had watched the Duel from start to finish and the Cat Ignis was very impressed.

"I have to admit, she is very impressive". Carla stated, getting Lunalight Dancer's attention as she held her Duel Disk in front of her, allowing her to look at her Ignis partner. "What did you expect? She was trained by yours truly and by the White Dragon Emperor". The Lunalight Duelist said to her partner with a smile, making Carla gain an interested look before she emerged from the Duel Disk in her true form.

"I see what you mean. She quickly got the hang of the Skills system and had countermeasures for her opponent's Spell card. I'll admit that she's got a future for herself in Dueling, but I wish to see more of her skills". Carla said to her partner, before she turned around to look at the 7-year-old girl and saw her riding her Duel Board towards them.

The female masked Duelist lifted her head and looked right as Pink Dragon Mask jumped off her Duel Board and landed next to her. "You might get the chance soon". Lunalight Dancer whispered to her partner, before she lowered her left arm with Carla returning to her eye form. "So? What did you think?" Pink Dragon Mask asked her mother with a smile, one that Lunalight Duelist returned. "I'll give you a A+. But that guy was pretty much an amateur". The 16-year-old female answered her daughter, before she turned around and began walking off.

Pink Dragon Mask hurried after her mother, before the two began jumping across rooftops. "Give him some credit. If I hadn't destroyed his Fairy Meteor Crush Spell card, I would have lost". Pink Dragon Mask said with her and Lunalight Dancer in midair, before they landed on another rooftop and leaped to the next rooftop.

"Don't kid yourself. I knew you had another countermeasure in case your first plan failed". The teenage girl replied to the younger female as they landed and leaped into the air again. Pink Dragon Mask giggled with a sweat drop. But then out of nowhere, she suddenly felt somekind of weird connection, making the child widen her eyes in surprise.

"What was that!?" The 7-year-old girl called out in surprise, getting Lunalight Dancer to look at her as the two females landed on another rooftop. "What's wrong Pink Dragon Mask?" The 16-year-old female questioned in confusion, getting Pink Dragon Mask to look at her with a confused expression on her face. "I suddenly felt something strange. It just came out of nowhere". Pink Dragon Mask told her mother, having no idea how to explain it better.

Lunalight Duelist frowned in confusion, clearly not understanding what her daughter was trying to say. However, suddenly Carla let out a cry of surprise, getting both Lunalight Dancer and Pink Dragon Mask to widen their eyes in surprise. "Carla, what's wrong?" Lunalight Dancer questioned her partner as she held her Duel Disk in front of her so that she could look at her partner.

Carla had her eye narrowed in a sharp way as she looked at her partner. "I sense another Ignis close by". The Cat Ignis told her partner, getting the two human girls to widen their eyes in surprise. "Another Ignis?!" Pink Dragon Mask commented in surprise, having not expected the chances of running into another AI with free will.

"Do you know who this Ignis is?" Lunalight Dancer questioned her friend with narrowed eyes and a sharp tone. Carla moved her eye, as if she was nodding to her partner. "There's only one kind of Ignis I know that feels like this. We've gotta hurry before the Knights of Hanoi find her!" Carla replied to her partner, before she emerged from her partner's Duel Disk and pointed east. "She's somewhere over there! Hurry!" The Cat Ignis told her partner, which Lunalight Dancer nodded before she looked at Pink Dragon Mask.

"Come on, let's go!" Lunalight Dancer told her daughter, before she leaped off the rooftop and into the air. Her Duel Board appeared out of nowhere and flew under Lunalight Dancer, allowing her to hop on before the Duel Board took off. "Wait for me!" Pink Dragon Mask called out as she mimicked her mother by jumping into the air and jumping onto her Duel Board that appeared out of the sky.

Both Lunalight Dancer and Pink Dragon Mask flew on their Duel Boards for a good 3 minutes, before they eventually reached an alleyway that was cut off from the street. The two females jumped off their Duel Boards and landed in the alleyway, both in a superhero landing. "Was this where you sensed that nearby Ignis?" The Lunalight Duelist asked her partner, holding up her Duel Disk in front of her.

Carla emerged from her partner's Duel Disk and nodded to Lunalight Duelist. However, before she could even say anything, someone beat her to it. "Carla!" A female voice called out, causing Lunalight Dancer, Pink Dragon Mask and Carla to look around for the source, until they spotted a small eye like Azure and the others on the ground.

It had a white iris and a purple corner and looked a lot like Raven's eye. Carla widened her eyes in shock at seeing the Ignis eye on the ground. "Velvet?!" Carla said in shock at seeing another Ignis in front of her, and someone she knows well. The Cat Ignis' shout caught Lunalight Dancer and Pink Dragon Mask's attention as they looked at her.

"Carla? Do you know this AI?" Lunalight Dancer asked her partner, bringing her Duel Disk closer to her face. "Are you two friends?" Pink Dragon Mask asked in wonder, wondering what the connection is between the Cat Ignis and this new one. "Her name is Velvet, she's Azure and Raven's daughter". Carla answered her partner, shocking Lunalight Dancer and Pink Dragon Mask upon learning that this Ignis is the daughter of Azure and Raven.

"Hold up! You guys can have kids? Didn't see that one coming". Lunalight Dancer stated with a wave of her right hand, having never expected any of the Ignis to have the ability to reproduce. Pink Dragon Mask stared at the eye form of Velvet, before she walked over toward the child Ignis, getting her afraid at the moment.

Pink Dragon Mask stopped in front of the eye form of the Ignis, before she picked up Velvet's eye in her hands and held her in front of her. "Hello". Pink Dragon Mask greeted the child Ignis, making Velvet slightly soften her gaze. "H-H-Hi". Velvet greeted Pink Dragon Mask nervously, unsure to trust her or not.

"My name is Pink Dragon Mask. What's your name?" Pink Dragon Mask asked the child Ignis, wanting to get to know Velvet. "V-Velvet". Velvet introduced herself to the 7-year-old girl, still looking a bit nervous.

"Why are you out alone? Why aren't you with your parents?" Pink Dragon Mask asked Velvet with a concerned look, wondering why she hasn't reunited with her parents. Velvet then gained a look of sadness, before she looked away. "I was separated from them 5 years ago and I've been like this ever since. I have no idea where my parents are". The Child Ignis told the 7-year-old girl with a sad tone, getting Pink Dragon Mask, Lunalight Dancer and Carla to slightly widen their eyes.

"Hold up, you don't know where they are. Haven't you heard about Playmaker, White Dragon Mask, Purple Night and me? Or about what happened here in LINK VRAINS not too long ago?" Lunalight Dancer questioned the Child Ignis as she walked up next to Saya and looked down at Velvet, holding her Duel Disk up for Carla to look at her fellow Ignis. Velvet shifted her attention over to Lunalight Dancer, before she shook her eye.

"I've… been hiding outside of LINK VRAINS and only just arrived here today, so I had no idea". The Child Ignis answered the masked hero of LINK VRAINS, making Carla let out a sigh. "You do know you can access data online about LINK VRAINS and learn everything that's happened, right?" The Cat Ignis asked Velvet with a slightly disappointed look, getting the eye form Ignis to look at her with a slightly surprised look.

"I… can actually do that?" Velvet asked in surprise, making Carla sigh as she smacked her forehead with the left claw. "5 years on your own and you still have so much to learn". The Cat Ignis said with a disappointed tone, before she lifted her claw off her face. "Although, I suppose it can't be helped. You're still so young, and still have much to learn. Your parents, Azure and Raven are with our friends, safe and sound". Carla told Velvet, getting the Child Ignis to widen her eyes in surprise.

"Are you serious? My mom and dad are safe?" Velvet questioned in happiness to learn her parents were safe and sound. "They are, they're even with the two masked heroes of LINK VRAINS, White Dragon Mask and Purple Night. We've teamed up with Playmaker and the Dark Ignis to fight against the Knights of Hanoi". Carla answered the Child Ignis, telling her about her parents and what they've all been doing.

"If that's the case, let me help!" Velvet exclaimed, wanting to help her parents in defending LINK VRAINS and defeat the Knights of Hanoi. "Not gonna happen!" The Cat Ignis instantly told the Child Ignis, getting Velvet and Pink Dragon Mask to look at her with wide eyes. "Carla, don't you think that-". Pink Dragon Mask began, only to be silenced when Lunalight Dancer placed her right hand over her mouth.

The young 7-year-old girl looked up at the masked hero of LINK VRAINS with a questionable expression on her face. Lunalight Dance held her right hand's index finger in front of her mouth, telling Pink Dragon Mask to be quiet for the moment. Still confused, Pink Dragon Mask did as she was told and remained silent for the moment and watched the two Ignis.

"Why not?" Velvet questioned the Cat Ignis, wondering why she won't let her fight. "1: you can't even Duel in the form you're in. 2: you're stuck like that until you get your data back and 3: it's too risky to fight by yourself". Carla explained to the Child Ignis why she can't with narrowed eyes, getting Velvet to look down in sadness. Pink Dragon Mask gave a sad look at seeing Velvet's sad look, but she then thought of an idea that could perhaps help them both. "In that case, why not have her be my partner?" The young 7-year-old girl suggested, getting everyone to look at her in surprise. "Beg your pardon?" Velvet said with a surprised tone at Pink Dragon Mask's suggestion.

"Dad has Azure, mom has Raven, Lunalight Dancer has Carla and Playmaker has Ai. All of them teamed up in hopes to defeat the Knights of Hanoi together and win. If you and I team up, we'll be able to help them fight the Knights of Hanoi ourselves with higher chances of winning. Alone would be too dangerous, but if we're together, we'd be fine". The 7-year-old girl explained for everyone to better understand her plan, getting Lunalight Dancer and Carla to widen their eyes in understanding.

"Yes, that would increase the chances of success". Lunalight Dancer commented as she held her chin with her right hand, looking down in thought. Velvet was silent as she thought over what Pink Dragon Mask suggested and saw the wisdom in her words. "I see your point. If we become partners, our chances of victory will increase". The Child Ignis said to the 7-year-old girl, getting Pink Dragon Mask to let out a happy smile.

"Then that means you'll be my partner, right?" The 7-year-old girl asked in an excited tone, which Velvet moved her eye up and down, as if she was nodding to Pink Dragon Mask. "Yup. That is if Carla's okay with it". The Child Ignis said as she looked over at the older Ignis, which Carla nodded to her. "I have no problem with it. With this, we'll have another Ignis safe and sound and a new member. So, go ahead and knock yourself out". The Cat Ignis told the Child Ignis, making Velvet gain a happy look. The eye form of the Ignis glowed white and black, before it shot out towards Pink Dragon Mask's Duel Disk and was absorbed into it.

The 7-year-old girl looked at the Duel Disk on her left forearm and saw Velvet's eye on her Duel Disk's screen, getting her to grow a happy smile. "With this, we're now partners. I look forward to working with you". The child of Azure and Raven told her new partner, which Pink Dragon Mask gave Velvet a nod. "I'm looking forward to becoming good friends with you, Velvet". The 7-year-old girl said with happiness in her voice, making Velvet give her a happy look.

Both Lunalight Dancer and Carla watched the two younger girls as they looked pleased with their new partnership. Sadly, the moment was unwantedly ruined by someone. "You!" A voice shouted, making both girls slightly jump, while Carla returned to her eye form in Lunalight Dancer's Duel Disk. Both Pink Dragon Mask and Lunalight Dancer turned around to see Lancelot stomping up to them from the other side of the alleyway with a ticked off look on his face.

"Is… something wrong?" Pink Dragon Mask questioned with a hint of fear in her voice. "I want a rematch!" The knight shouted out at the 7-year-old, getting Pink Dragon Mask to blink at him. "…Why…?" The 7-year-old girl questioned Lancelot, taking a step back as the anger in his voice intimidated her. "I refuse to accept that I lost to some kid! It's insulting!" Lancelot exclaimed angrily, getting Pink Dragon Mask and Velvet to gulp at the anger in his voice.

Seeing that things were getting a bit out of control, Lunalight Dancer walked up in front of Pink Dragon Mask and glared at Lancelot. "You lost to her fair and square. Accept it". The masked Duelist told the knight Duelist, getting his attention as he looked at her with anger. "You stay out of this! This is between me and that kid!" Lancelot shouted out at Lunalight Dancer, who didn't flinch at his shouting.

"Wrong, I'm involved in this. You did Duel my daughter to try to get to me, remember". Lunalight Dancer reminded Lancelot, making him grit his teeth a bit in anger at how she knew his reason on why he dueled Pink Dragon Mask. "How about this? I Duel you in Pink Dragon Mask's place. If I win, you get lost and accept the reality that you lost. If you win, I'll go on a date with you". The masked Duelist offered to the knight Duelist, making everyone widen their eyes at what she said.

Lancelot gave off an evil smirk on his face, though Lunalight Dancer and Pink Dragon Mask couldn't see it. "All right then, you got yourself a Duel". The knight Duelist told the masked Duelist, getting Lunalight Dancer to smirk, before she looked back at Pink Dragon Mask. "You go on ahead and have some fun. I'll wrap this up quick". Lunalight Dancer told the 7-year-old girl, which Pink Dragon Mask nodded to her mother with a confident smile. "Okay, but go easy on him". Pink Dragon Mask told her mother, getting the 16-year-old female to chuckle in amusement as she turned around to face Lancelot. "No promises". Lunalight Dancer stated, making Pink Dragon Mask chuckle before she spread her wings and took off into the air, leaving both teenagers alone to face each other.

Lunalight Dancer stared at Lancelot, before she began cracking her knuckles. "This shouldn't take too long. Tell ya what? I'll give you two turns to try to beat me". The 16-year-old female said to the knight Duelist, making Lancelot growl in anger. "I'll make you eat those words". Lancelot growled at Lunalight Dancer, but she wasn't intimated as she kept smirking at him.

"You're welcome to try". Lunalight Dancer said as she placed her right fist against her hip. Data material appeared around the two teenagers, making Lunalight Dancer's long hair blow in the breeze while the wind blew Lancelot's cape. From up above, Lunalight Dancer and Lancelot's Duel Boards flew over the rooftop of the building, riding the Data Storm wind. "Let's rock his world!" Carla exclaimed from Lunalight Dancer's Duel Disk, making the 16-year-old girl smirk.

"My pleasure!" Lunalight Dancer stated, before both her and Lancelot jumped up into the air and landed on their Duel Boards. The two Duelists rode their Duel Boards on the Data Storm wind with Lunalight Dancer taking the lead and Lancelot behind her by 5 feet. "Get ready, beautiful. After I win this Duel, we're going on that date!" Lancelot exclaimed with a bit of an insane tone, making the masked Duelist snort in amusement.

"In your dreams, pal!" Lunalight Dancer called out with narrowed eyes, before she held up her Duel Disk and looked at Carla. "This might be a good chance to test out that new Skill you programmed". The 16-year-old female said to her partner as the Cat Ignis emerged from her partner's Duel Disk with her claws on her hips.

"You might be right. It's not every day that we create a new Skill". Carla remarked with a mischievous look on her face, making Lunalight Dancer smirk before she held her left arm out to the side. "Speed Duel!" Lunalight Dancer and Lancelot cried out as they began their Duel.

Lunalight Dancer Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 4.

Lancelot Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 4.

Both Lunalight Dancer and Lancelot swiped their right hands in front of them, causing four cards to appear in front of them. The four cards disappeared as the Data Storm wind made a big wave, which the two rode their Duel Boards over. "I'll take the first turn! I'll start this off with the Spell card, Polymerization!" Lunalight Dancer called out as she held up her right hand, before the Spell card appeared between her right hand's index and middle fingers.

"Here's how it works. I take any number of monsters I want on my field or hand, send them to the graveyard for what's known as a Fusion Summon to Summon a Fusion Monster from my Extra Deck!" The 16-year-old female explained her Spell card's effect, before the Spell card disappeared and she swiped her hand in front of her with two new cards appearing.

"I'll fuse the Lunalight Purple Butterfly and the Lunalight Crimson Fox!" Lunalight Dancer called out as Lunalight Purple Butterfly and Crimson Fox appeared besides her, flying in the wind before they both jumped up into a purple swirling vortex in the air above them.

"By merging these two Lunalights, a new Lunalight legend will be born! I Fusion Summon! Dance to your heart's content! Lunalight Owl Shaman!" Lunalight Dancer chanted out as her new monster appeared from the purple swirling portal. It was a female fair skin adult woman, wearing a silver shaman outfit based off an owl, wearing an owl masked that covered the left side of her face. She had silver long hair and deep blue eyes. Her shirt's sleeves had what appeared to be feathers attached to it, making seem like she had wings. She had talons as well and finally, she had a wooden staff in her right hand. Lunalight Owl Shaman gave out a cry as she took a defense stance with her staff.

(Lunalight Owl Shaman/ Level: 6/ Attribute: Dark/ Type: Beast-Warrior/ Fusion/ Effect/ ATK Points: 1000/ DEF Points: 2600/ Requirements: Two Lunalight monsters/ Effect: Once per turn, if a Lunalight monster you control would be destroyed (By battle or card effects), negate its destruction. If this card is destroyed by battle or by card effect, you can add one "Lunalight" and one Fusion card from your graveyard to your hand.)

"I'll place a face down card and end my turn!" The 16-year-old female finished as she swiped her right hand out to the side as a face-down card appeared in front of her.

Lancelot Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 4.

"That's it? You played a weak monster in DEF Mode? Ha! I'll show you a real move! My turn!" Lancelot cried out as a card appeared from his Duel Disk and he drew it in a dramatic fashion, before it disappeared. The knight Duelist waved his right hand in front of him as five cards appeared, before he smirked. "I'll start off by Summoning Field-Command Knight!" Lancelot cried out as the five cards in front of him disappeared, before Field-Command Knight appeared in front of him.

Field-Command Knight ATK Points: 1600/ Level: 4.

"At this moment, Field Command Knight's special ability activates! When this card is Successfully Summoned, I can choose one Level 4 or lower Warrior-Type Monster from my deck and place it on top of my deck!" Lancelot explained his monster's special ability, before 35 cards appeared in front of him in a line. "I choose Shield Warrior!" Lancelot made his choice as he picked a card, before the 35 cards disappeared.

"Now, by releasing my Field-Command Knight, I can Special Summon my Turret Warrior!" The knight Duelist called out as Field-Command Knight glowed a bright color, covering him from view. The light soon died down, revealing Turret Warrior, with the Warrior-Type monster giving out a battle cry.

Turret Warrior ATK Points: 1200/ Level: 5.

"Turret Warrior's special ability activates! When he's successfully Summoned through his effect, he gains the ATK Points of the monster used to as a tribute!" Lancelot explained his monster's special ability, before a brown aura appeared around Turret Warrior as he powered up.

Turret Warrior ATK Points: 1200 + 1600 = 2800.

"2800 ATK Points, huh?" Lunalight Dancer commented with narrowed eyes, though she didn't sound too worried. "Hahaha! Looks like I'll be getting that date sooner than expected! First, I'll set a face-down card..." Lancelot began as a face-down card materialized in front of him. "Now, Turret Warrior attacks Lunalight Owl Shaman!" The knight Duelist commanded his monster as he pointed at Lunalight Owl Shaman. Turret Warrior locked his cannons on Lunalight Owl Shaman as the Fusion Monster turned to face him, before the Warrior-Type monster fired two blasts from his cannons.

"Guess again! I activate Lunalight Owl Shaman's special ability!" Lunalight Dancer cried out as she rode her Duel Board sideways to the right to look at Lancelot. "Once per turn, if a Lunalight monster I control would be destroyed by battle or a card effect, Owl Shaman can negate its destruction!" The 16-year-old female explained her Fusion Monster's effect as Turret Warrior's two blast attacks drew closer to Owl Shaman.

Lunalight Owl Shaman swiped her right hand in front of her, using her feathers as a shield as they glowed a silver colour. Once the blasts came into contact with Owl Shaman's feathers, they were bounced off into the air and exploded. Lunalight Owl Shaman gave a smirk as she turned around and floated besides her Duelist.

Lancelot gritted his teeth in anger, before he held up his right hand as a card materialized between his index and middle fingers. "I end my turn!" The knight Duelist declared his turn over, having no other move to make.

Lunalight Dancer Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 0.

"I draw!" Lunalight Dancer called out as a purple energy circle appeared her Duel Disk with a single card, which she drew it in a dramatic fashion. The energy circle disappeared as she looked at the new card. The 16-year-old girl gave a smirk, before she looked forward as the card disappeared from her fingers. "I'll end my turn here. Go ahead". Lunalight Dancer declared her turn over, making Lancelot scowl at her.

Lancelot Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 2.

"My turn now! I draw!" The knight Duelist exclaimed as he drew his card in a dramatic fashion, before he instantly played it. "I Summon Shield Warrior!" Lancelot called out, before a portal appeared on his left side and Shield Warrior came out.

Shield Warrior ATK Points: 800/ Level: 3.

"Now I activate the Trap card, Copy Knight!" The knight Duelist called out as his face down card flipped itself open and glowed. "When a Level 4 or lower Warrior-Type monster is Summoned, I can Special Summon this card as a Normal Monster with the same name and Level as that monster Summon!" Lancelot explained his Trap card's effect as a white knight appeared from the glowing Trap card, before it transformed into a black version of Shield Warrior.

Copy Knight (Shield Warrior) ATK Points: 0/ Level: 3.

"Now, I create the Circuit of the Knights!" The knight Duelist cried out to the heavens as a Circuit appeared in the sky above. "I set my Copy Knight, acting as Shield Warrior, and Shield Warrior in the Link Arrows!" Lancelot exclaimed as his two Shield Warriors turned into brown tornados, before they shot out and entered the Bottom-Left and Bottom-Right Link Arrows, causing them to glow bright red. "I Link Summon Isolde, Two Tales of the Noble Knights!" Lancelot cried out as Isolde, Two Tales of the Noble Knights appeared from the link portal and floated behind him.

Isolde, Two Tales of the Noble Knights ATK Points: 1600/ Link-2/ Link Arrows: Bottom-Left and Bottom-Right.

"So far, I'm not impressed". Carla commented with her claws crossed, having been watching the Duel and wasn't impressed with Lancelot's skills. "The feeling's mutual". Lunalight Dancer stated, having seen better Duelists in her world who could do so much better than Lancelot. "Now, I activate Isolde's special ability!" Lancelot called out as 33 cards appeared in front of him in a line. "When this card is Link Summoned, I can add any Warrior-Type monster from my deck to my hand, but I can't use it for the rest of this turn!" The knight Duelist explained his Link Monster's effect as he searched through his deck, before he spotted the card he wanted.

The teenage male pressed on the card, causing it and the rest of the cards to disappear, before a blue digital circle appeared around his Duel Disk with a card appearing. Lancelot took hold of the card with his right hand's index and middle fingers, before he held the card out. "I choose Gilford the Legend!" Lancelot called out, making Lunalight Dancer slightly widen her eyes in surprise. "That might be a problem". The 16-year-old female stated, getting Carla to nod in agreement as she looked up at her partner. "You bet it is. If that guy manages to Summon that thing, he can equip all the Equip Spells from his Graveyard to that monster". The Cat Ignis told her partner, telling her about Gilford the Legend's special ability.

Gilford the Legend's card disappeared from Lancelot's fingers, before another card replaced it and he held it out. "I now activate the Spell card; Trade-In!" The knight Duelist called out as the card started to glow, before Gilford the Legend's card materialized in his hand. "By discarding a Level 8 monster such as my Gilford the Legend, I can draw 2 new cards!" Lancelot explained the Spell card's effect as the two cards dematerialized. The ring of energy then appeared around his left hand with two cards.

Lancelt drew his new cards and looked at them, before grinning at seeing what they were. "Now I activate Isolde's second special ability!" Lancelot began as the two cards dematerialized, whole the two women of Isolde held up their right hands as a golden light appeared in their palms. "I can send as many Equip Spells from my deck to the graveyard to Special Summon one Warrior-Type monster from my deck!" The knight Duelist explained his Link Monster's special ability as 32 cards appeared in front of him, lined up in a line.

Seven of the cards flipped over to reveal Fairy Meteor Crush, United We Stand, Lucky Iron Axe, Big Bang Shot, Megamorph, Magnum Shield and Lightning Blade. "I send Fairy Meteor Crush, United We Stand, Lucky Iron Axe, Big Bang Shot, Megamorph, Magnum Shield and Lightning Blade to Summon Gaia the Fierce Knight!" Lancelot cried out to the heavens as the bright lights in the two women's hands shot out and created a portal in the air. The cry of a horse was heard, before Gaia the Fierce Knight came out of the portal, riding atop his horse before he stopped next to Isolde and Turret Warrior.

Gaia the Fierce Knight ATK Points: 2300/ Level: 7.

"I activate the Spell card, Double Summon!" Lancelot called out as the Spell card appeared in front of him, making both Lunalight Dancer and Carla narrow their eyes at him. "With this, I can Normal Summon once more! Now I release Turret Warrior, Isolde, Two Tales of the Noble Knights and Gaia the Fierce Knight!" The knight Duelist cried out to the heavens as his three monsters turned into bright sparkles that formed together.

"I now Tribute Summon Gilford the Lightning!" Lancelot called out to the heavens as the sparkles formed a bright light. From the light came Gilford the Lightning, who released a powerful battle cry.

Gilford the Lightning ATK Points: 2800/ Level: 8.

"Well that's just great". Lunalight Dancer commented with narrowed eyes as she's now in a bit of trouble. "Gilford the Lightning's special ability activates! When this card is Tribute Summoned using 3 monsters, all monsters you control are destroyed! Lightning Sword!" Lancelot cried out as he pointed forward, before Gilford drew his sword and held it up as lightning surged through it. Gilford then thrusted the blade out towards Owl Shaman and fired lightning at her.

"In case you've forgotten, Owl Shaman can negate the destruction of a Lunalight monster once!" Lunalight Dancer called out as Owl Shaman turned around to face the bolt of lightning, before she deflected it with her staff. "Of course I haven't forgotten. Now I can activate my Skill, Lightning Strikes Twice!" Lancelot cried out as he spread his arms out, before lightning surged around him.

(Lightning Strikes Twice/ Type: Skill/ Effect: If you control 'Gilford the Lightning', all monsters your opponent controls are destroyed)

"When I have Gilford the Lightning on my field when I activate my skill, all your monsters are destroyed". The knight Duelist explained his Skill, making Lunalight Dancer and Carla widen their eyes in surprise. Gilford lifted his sword up as lightning surged through it again, before he thrust the blade out at Owl Shaman and fired the lightning at her.

The lighting struck Owl Shaman, making the Fusion Monster cry out in pain before she was destroyed. "Owl Shaman may be down, but not out just yet! Her final special ability activates!" Lunalight Dancer cried out as she held her right hand up to the sky. "When Lunalight Owl Shaman is destroyed by battle or by a card effect, I can add one Lunalight monster and one Fusion card from my graveyard to my hand!" The masked Duelist explained her Fusion Monster's final effect, before sliding her hand down so that it was in front of her.

"But there's more! I activate the Trap card, Lunalight Reincarnation Dance!" The 16-year-old female called out as her face down card revealed itself and glowed white. "When a Lunalight Fusion Monster I control is destroyed, it allows me to add two Lunalight monsters from my deck to my hand!" Lunalight Dancer explained her Trap's effect as two cards appeared in front of her.

"I choose Lunalight Blue Cat and Lunalight Navy Carnotaurus!" Lunalight Dancer exclaimed as the cards flipped over to reveal themselves. One of the cards showed a pale skin teenage girl wearing a navy colored carnotaurus outfit. The outfit was a bit revealing as it showed Navy Carnotaurus' skin, such as her lean belly and the sides of her arms and legs. She did have claws and feet like a carnotaurus and even a tail. On the back of the outfit were scales. She had crystal blue eyes and short navy spiky hair. Finally, she had the headwear that looked like a carnotaurus' head with fangs in front of her face.

(Lunalight Navy Carnotaurus/ Level: 4/ Attribute: Dark/ Type: Beast-Warrior/ Effect/ ATK Points: 1900/ DEF Points: 1200/ Effect: Any Battle damage that this card inflicts is doubled. If this card is used as Fusion, Synchro or Xyz Material, the Summoned monster gains this card's abilities)

The two cards disappeared in front of Lunalight Dancer and were replaced by two different ones. "Through Owl Shaman's effect, I chose to add Lunalight Crimson Fox and Polymerization to my hand!" The 14-year-old female called out her choice as she swiped her right hand in front of her as the two cards disappeared.

"Too bad they can't help you right now! Gilford, attack her directly!" Lancelot commanded his monster, swiping his right hand out to the side. Gilford gave out a battle cry as he charged at Lunalight Dancer and swung his sword at her back, making the 16-year-old female grit her teeth as she felt pain inflicted on her back.

Lunalight Dancer Life Points: 4000 – 2800 = 1200.

"Hahaha! With this, my victory is assured! I now end my turn!" Lancelot declared his turn over, holding up his right fist.

Lunalight Dancer Life Points: 1200/ Number of cards in hand: 5.

Lunalight Dancer gave out a small glare as she looked over her left shoulder to glare at Lancelot, who looked a bit smug even though she couldn't see his face. "He's a dead man!" The 16-year-old female growled out, before she looked down at her Duel Disk and saw that Carla was still in her original form, looking just as ticked off as her. "My thoughts exactly, partner. Rip this knight into two pieces!" The Cat Ignis told her partner, which the masked Duelist nodded to her partner. "It'll be my genuine pleasure! I draw!" Lunalight Dancer called out as a blue circled appeared around her Duel Disk and a card appeared, before she drew it with her right hand's thumb, index and middle fingers.

The card disappeared, before Lunalight Dancer swiped her right hand in front of her with six cards appearing in front of her. Immediately, she picked the new card that she just drew. "To start this round off, I'll Summon Lunalight Kaleido Chick!" The masked Duelist called out as the six cards in front of her disappeared, before a portal appeared and Lunalight Kaleido Chick appeared from it, before flying next to Lunalight Dancer.

Lunalight Kaleido Chick ATK Points: 1400/ Level: 4.

"I activate Kaleido Chick's special ability!" Lunalight Dancer called out as another blue circled appeared around her Duel Disk and a card came out. The 16-year-old female took hold of the card with her right hand's index and middle finger, before she held it up and showed that it was her ace monster, Lunalight Cat Dancer. "Once a turn, I can send a Lunalight monster from my deck or Extra Deck to the graveyard and exchange, Kaleido Chick's name becomes that monster's name! So for the rest of this turn, Kaleido Chick's name is now treated as Lunalight Cat Dancer!" The female explained her monster's ability as a veil of light appeared over Kaleido Chick and her appearance changed to Cat Dancer's.

Another card appeared in Lunalight Dancer's right hand, before she held it up with her right hand's thumb, index and middle fingers. "You remember this card, right? Polymerization!" Lunalight Dancer called out as the Spell card disappeared from her finger and reappeared in front of her, only much bigger.

"I already explained what this card did, so I'm not gonna explain it again". The female stated, before she swiped her right hand to the right as Lunalight Blue Cat's card appeared in front of her. "I fuse Lunalight Blue Cat with Lunalight Kaleido Chick acting as Lunalight Cat Dancer!" Lunalight Dancer cried out as Lunalight Blue Cat appeared on her right side. The two Lunalight monsters floated to the sky above, taking a pose before a purple swirling portal appeared behind them and absorbed the two monsters.

"By combining the reflexes of a fierce feline with the reflexes of a fierce feline, I can create a new lunar legend! I Fusion Summon! Now appear, sleek creature of the night, and ready those razor-sharp claws! Lunalight Panther Dancer is on the prowl!" The 16-year-old female chanted, raising her right hand into the air as Lunalight Panther Dancer leaped out of the portal and took a stance with her usual smirk.

Lunalight Panther Dancer ATK Points: 2800/ Level: 8.

"Lunalight Kaleido Chick's final effect activates! If she's sent to the graveyard by a card effect, I can add a Polymerization from my graveyard to my hand!" Lunalight Dancer explained her monster's final effect as she swiped her right hand to the left as her Polymerization card appeared in front of her, before disappearing. Four cards reappeared in front of Lunalight Dancer, who looked at her cards for a few moments, before looking down at her Duel Disk and at Carla. "Do you think the Skill's ready to take a test run?" The masked Duelist asked her partner, who closed her eyes for a few seconds as she checked the program she created over, before opening her eyes.

"The program I created seems to be in perfect condition and there doesn't appear to be a problem with anything. Go ahead and try it". Carla told her partner, giving her an encouraging look. Lunalight Dancer smirked at her partner, before she looked forward, closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

(Play Yugioh GX OST 89 Fervent Duel!)

Lunalight Dancer's eyes shot open as she raised her right hand into the air. "I activate my Skill, New Fusion!" The masked Duelist called out as glowing purple stripes appeared on her clothes.

(New Fusion/ Type: Skill/ Effect: During either players' turn, Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters from your hand or field as Fusion Material.)

"With this Skill, I'm now allowed to perform a Fusion Summon!" Lunalight Dancer explained her Skill's effect, making Lancelot gasp in surprise. The masked female Duelist swiped her right hand in front of her as Lunalight Crimson Fox and Lunalight Navy Carnotaurus' cards appeared in front of her. "I choose to fuse Lunalight Crimson Fox and Lunalight Navy Carnotaurus with Lunalight Panther Dancer!" Lunalight Dancer called out as she brought her right hand down in front of her as Crimson Fox and Navy Carnotaurus appeared in front of her at Panther Dancer's sides.

Panther Dancer turned into particles, Crimson Fox became crimson and Navy Carnotaurus turned into navy particles. The particles swirled together into a vortex before shooting upwards as twisters that emerged, forming a single violet tornado. "By combining the precision of a panther, the swiftest of a crimson fox, and the furry of a carnivore, I can create a new lunar legend! I Fusion Summon! The majestic, the mighty, the masterful Lunalight Leo Dancer!" Lunalight Dancer chanted as the winds of the tornado parted to reveal her strongest monster. Lunalight Leo Dancer gave out a cry as she swung her sword with her right hand, before taking a stance in the Extra Monster Zone in ATK Mode.

Lunalight Leo Dancer ATK Points: 3500/ Level: 10.

"Now that's what I call a monster and a successful project!" Carla exclaimed with wide eyes, looking up at Lunalight Leo Dancer as she flew besides her Duelist, getting Lunalight Dancer to chuckle at her. She then looked over her left shoulder to look at Lancelot, who remained calm. "Get ready to lose pal!" The 16-year-old female called out to her opponent, making Lancelot chuckle at her.

"Oh please. Your monster may be more powerful than my Gilford, but I'll still have more Life Points than you". The knight Duelist said with a confident smirk on his face, one that Lunalight Dancer returned. "You might wanna check your monster out". The female Duelist told her opponent, getting Lancelot to look confused for a moment, before he looked up at Gilford and saw something shocking.

Gilford the Lightning ATK Points: 0.

"What is the meaning of this!? How has my Gilford's ATK Points been reduced to 0!?" Lancelot demanded, turning to look at the laughing Lunalight Dancer for an explanation. Lunalight Dancer wasn't the only one laughing, Carla was laughing as well. "You can thank my Crimson Fox for that!" Lunalight Dancer answered Lancelot, making him look confused. "When Crimson Fox is sent to the Graveyard by a card effect, one of your face-up monsters loses all its ATK Points until the end of the turn!" The female Duelist explained her monster's effect, before she sifted her Duel Board so that she was driving it sideways to look at her opponent.

"Leo Dancer, attack Gilford the Lightning!" The 16-year-old female commanded her monster as she thrust her right hand out at Lancelot and Gilford with Carla copying her movement perfectly. Lunalight Leo Dancer turned around to glare at Gilford, before she charged at him. "Oh yeah! I forgot to mention something! Remember Navy Carnotaurus?" Lunalight Dancer questioned her opponent, getting him to raise an eyebrow at her, even though she couldn't see it.

"She has quite the effect. When she deals battle damage, the damage is doubled. Now here's the best part. When she's used as Fusion Material, the Fusion Monster gains her effect!" The 16-year-old female explained her monster's effect, making Lancelot gasp in horror as he realized something.

"My Gilford has 0 ATK Points and your Leo Dancer has 3500 ATK Points. Double that number and you'll get 7000". The knight Duelist calculated, sounding terrified beyond words as Lunalight Dancer smirked. "You got it, pal. In other words, game over for you! Leo Dance, slice and dice Gilford!" Both Lunalight Dancer and Carla commanded the Fusion Monster, making Lunalight Leo Dancer smirk, before she gave out a battle cry as she swung her sword down on Gilford.

Leo Dancer's attack left a glowing slice on Gilford, making him cry out in pain as he lost his grip on his sword, before he exploded with Leo Dancer leaping away. The force of the explosion blew both Lancelot and his Duel Board into the air with the knight Duelist crying out as he was sent flying. (3500 – 0 = 3500 X 2 = 7000)

Lancelot Life Points: 4000 – 7000 = 0.

Winner: Lunalight Dancer!

(Music end)

Lunalight Dancer grew another smirk at seeing Lancelot fly away, before she readjusted her Duel Board so that it was facing forward again. Leo Dancer returned to her Duelist's side, giving Lunalight Dancer a smile, one that she returned to her strongest monster before the Fusion Monster disappeared. "Did you really need to go overkill on that sucker?" Carla asked her Duelist with her claws crossed, getting Lunalight Dancer's attention as she brought up her left arm to look at her partner. "What are you talking about?" Lunalight Dancer questioned her partner, wondering what Carla meant by overkill.

"You could have just Fusion Summoned Cat Dancer using Crimson Fox and Navy Carnotaurus. That way, you could have reduced Gilford's ATK Points to 0 and still have the double battle damage effect. So why go for Leo Dancer?" The Cat Ignis questioned her partner, telling her what she meant by overkill. Now understanding what her partner meant, Lunalight Dancer gave Carla a smile.

"It was more about winning. It was a warning to him to never come after my daughter or I again, or else he's gonna regret it badly. Besides, I owed him for inflicting this on my back". The masked Duelist explained to her partner, before she looked over her shoulder to look at the mark that Gilford's attack left on her back.

Carla saw her partner look at her back and knew that she was referring to her cut that Gilford inflicted on her. "Oh yeah, I forgot about that. To be honest, I felt like he deserved much worse for that. Give me a second". Carla said as she retracted into the Duel Disk, getting Lunalight Dancer to look at her Duel Disk. Suddenly, a purple cat that looked a bit like Carla came out of the Duel Disk and attached itself to Lunalight Dancer's back, covering her cut from view. The cat began glowing purple as she purred, getting Lunalight Dancer to widen her eyes as she felt a nice and soft sensation from the cat. The Fusion Duelist then closed her close her eyes in peace and moaned a bit from the soft sensation.

After 10 seconds, the Ignis cat jumped off Lunalight Dancer's back and back into the Duel Disk. The 16-year-old girl opened her eyes as she held up her left arm and looked at her Duel Disk, where she saw Carla in her eye form. "How did you do that?" Lunalight Dancer asked with a smile on her face, feeling so much better after what Carla did.

"That was one of my forms I take. I used a healing program that Raven gave me to heal and repair your avatar". The Cat Ignis told her partner, getting the 16-year-old girl to widen her eyes, before she looked over her shoulder and no longer saw her scar. Lunalight Dancer looked back at her partner and gave her an appreciated smile. "Thank you". Lunalight Dancer thanked her partner, who gave her a soft expression.

"Don't mention it. It's what partners do for each other". Carla replied to her partner as she emerged from the Duel Disk. Lunalight Dancer gave her Ignis partner a heartfelt smile, before she looked forward again. "Now that 'Sire Knight' is out of the way, let's go find our kids!" Lunalight Dancer exclaimed with a smirk as her D-Board went faster than before. "Technically speaking, Velvet is Azure and Raven's daughter". Carla pointed out, but she looked amused with what her partner called Lancelot. Lunalight Dancer chuckled as she took a brief look at her partner, before focusing on ahead again.

(Meanwhile with Pink Dragon Mask and Velvet)

Meanwhile with the two children, currently they were in a conversation with Pink Dragon Mask sitting at the edge of a building, kicking her feet out as she looked down at her Duel Disk to look at Velvet. "So what's your favorite color?" The Child Ignis asked her new partner with a curious look, having a feeling that she already knew the answer just from looking at Pink Dragon Mask's avatar.

"You could say my favorite color is pink, but I really like red, blue and yellow too". The 7-year-old girl answered her new partner, getting Velvet to look slightly surprised. "Why those three colors as well?" Velvet asked her partner in curiosity, getting Pink Dragon Mask to smile as a blue circle appeared around her Duel Disk and three cards came out. The 7-year-old girl grabbed ahold of the three cards with her right hand and brought them closer to her face. "It's because of these". Pink Dragon Mask answered as she flipped the cards over to reveal that the three cards she was holding were Raviel, Lord of Phantasms, Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder and Uria, Lord of Searing Flames.

Velvet looked at the three cards that her partner was holding with her eye wide. "I've never seen cards like these before. What are they?" Velvet questioned in shock, having never seen cards similar to the three that her partner was holding. "They're called Raviel, Lord of Phantasms, Hamon, Lord of Striking Thunder and Uria, Lord of Searing Flames. They're called the three Sacred Beasts". The 7-year-old girl told her partner about her three ace monsters with a smile. "Three Sacred Beasts…" Velvet whispered to herself with narrowed eyes, her eye a bit narrowed to get a better look at the three cards. "Someone special gave these to me". Pink Dragon Mask told her new partner as she stopped swinging her feet and looked at the three Sacred Beasts' cards in sadness.

The Child Ignis noticed her friend's sad look and instantly became worried as she knew that someone doesn't normally go from happy to sad like that. "Who was this special someone?" Velvet asked her partner, wanting to hear about this 'special someone' that the 7-year-old was talking about. Pink Dragon Mask gave a sad smile on her face as she thought about her first partner. "Her name was Yubel, my first Duel Monsters spirit". The 7-year-old girl began as she thought back to the day she first met Yubel. She could remember walking on the beach's shoreline with Litten, until she spotted Yubel's card in the sand and picked it up, before she properly met Yubel for the first time.

She continued to think about the adventures she had with Yubel, how she protected her from the Demon Overlord and saved her life. "We met 2 years ago. She was alone because she lost her previous Duelist, so I decided to look after her and we became partners. We had so many adventures together and Duels together. She even gave me this deck". Pink Dragon Mask told her new partner as her sad smile grew into a happy smile from remembering the memories she had with Yubel.

Velvet was silent as she listened to her partner carefully and saw the happy look she had on her face, getting her to realize just how important this 'Yubel' was to Pink Dragon Mask. "What happened to her?" The Child Ignis asked her partner, getting her smile to revert back into a sad one. "We eventually found her previous Duelist and I gave her back". Pink Dragon Mask answered Velvet, getting her eye to widen in surprise.

"Give her back? Why?" The Child Ignis questioned in surprise, getting Pink Dragon Mask to look back at her. "Yubel looked so happy to see her old Duelist again and the two had a special bond. I didn't want to keep Yubel from being happy, so I gave her back to Jaden". The 7-year-old girl explained to her partner why she gave her old partner back to her previous Duelist.

"But you looked so sad. So that means you must have been really sad to give her away". The Child Ignis said with a worried look, getting Pink Dragon Mask to look back at her partner and gave her a small smile. "Sometimes we have to do the right thing, even thought we don't like it". Pink Dragon Mask told her partner in a soft tone as she returned the Sacred Beasts to her Duel Disk, getting Velvet to frown a bit, before she looked down in thought.

Pink Dragon Mask and Velvet were too busy in their conversation, they didn't notice someone teleported not too far away from them. It was a female Knight of Hanoi that had light skin. She looked like the ones that the others dueled before, only the outfit and mask was more designed for a female as well with a red line. The unknown female Knight of Hanoi glared at Pink Dragon Mask's back, who was still unaware of the hacker.

"Hey!" The Knight of Hanoi shouted out, getting Pink Dragon Mask and Velvet to jump, before the young human girl turned around. The two new partners then widened their eyes in fright when they saw it was a Knight of Hanoi. "Who are you?" Both Pink Dragon Mask and Velvet questioned in scared tones as they now afraid of the female Knight of Hanoi before them. "Hand over the Ai, little girl!" The Knight of Hanoi demanded as she walked towards the two slowly, intending to take Velvet from Pink Dragon Mask.

Pink Dragon Mask put her right hand over her Duel Disk in a protective manner to protect Velvet, even though she was fully scared at this point. Pink Dragon Mask closed her eyes in fear at what was about to happen. 'Mommy… help me'. The 7-year-old girl said in her mind, beginning one of her mothers to save her. Suddenly, just when it seemed like the female Knight of Hanoi was about to reach the 7-year-old girl, a green blast of wind came down from above and struck her on the chest, pushing the female hacker away from Pink Dragon Mask.

This got Pink Dragon Mask, Velvet and the female Knight of Hanoi to look up, wondering where that wind came from. Out of nowhere, a shadowy figure came out of nowhere and landed in front of Pink Dragon Mask. The shadows cleared to reveal that it was a 16-year-old girl. She had shoulder-length aqua-green colored hair with a lock of hair sticking up over the head. She also had two light green side tails and fair skin.

The green haired female was wearing an open light green witch cloak that showed her light green bra. She had a light green skirt that went to her knees, aqua-green tights and high heels. On her hands, she had light green fingerless gloves that reached her elbows and an aqua-green witch hat. She had an aqua-green mask that covered the upper half of her face and had two orange see through lens, and to finish the look, she had a green new model Duel Disk that was triangle shaped. The 16-year-old was on her right knee with her eyes closed and her hands out to the side, resulting in her cloak showing her bare skin and bra.

"Who are you?!" The female Knight of Hanoi angrily questioned the female in front of her, wondering who would interfere with her work to capture Velvet. The new arrival smiled as she rose up to her feet and opened her eyes, revealing them to be an orange colour. "The name's Green Witch!" The newly named Green Witch introduced herself, making Pink Dragon Mask gasp at hearing her voice as it was incredibly familiar one to her.

"And she's not alone!" A female voice called out, making Velvet gasp in shock. Green Witch smirked as she held up her left hand to show her Duel Disk's screen. The screen had a green Ignis' eye in it, revealing that Green Witch had her own Ignis. It had an orange iris and an aqua-blue corner.

Green Witch turned around to look at Pink Dragon Mask and gave her a smile. Pink Dragon Mask looked up at her savior's face and saw her eyes through her mask's lens, making the child gasp as she recognized who was in front of her. It was her mother, Rin. "Mommy!" Pink Dragon Mask exclaimed in joy as she ran towards Green Witch with her hands out for a hug.

Green Witch knelt down to the ground as she held her arms out towards Pink Dragon Mask. The 7-year-old reached the 16-year-old girl, and the two females embraced each other, both happy to be reunited. "Is that you Wendy?" Velvet asked the Ignis in Green Witch's Duel Disk, which she winked at the Child Ignis. "Who else can control the wind like me, the Witch Ignis Wendy?" Wendy answered the Child Ignis, making Velvet burst out laughing in a joyful manner.

Soon the hug ended, but Green Witch kept Pink Dragon Mask in her arms. The 16-year-old girl looked over her left shoulder and glared at the female Knight of Hanoi, who was glaring at her as well. "Move aside, or else!" The Knight of Hanoi threatened Green Witch, a threat that she didn't flinch at.

Green Witch let go of her daughter and stood up full on her feet, before turning around to face the Knight of Hanoi. "Not on your life! If you want my daughter, you're gonna have to walk over my dead body". The Witch Duelist told the female Knight of Hanoi as she held up her right hand, showing Wendy to the Knight of Hanoi. "Another Ignis?" The Knight of Hanoi said in surprise to see this unknown female has her own Ignis.

She then gave off an evil smirk. "Fine then, I'll take care of you first, and then I'll go after the kid". The older female declared as she held up her right hand to show her Duel Disk. Green Witch narrowed her eyes, before she looked over her right shoulder to look at Pink Dragon Mask, who was looking up at her in concern. "Don't worry, sweetie. Momma's gonna take care of this bad knight". The Wind Witch Duelist told her daughter as she placed her right hand on Pink Dragon Mask's head and gave her a comforting rub.

Pink Dragon Mask smiled brightly at her mother, before she stepped back. Green Witch turned back to look at the Knight of Hanoi with the two females glaring at each other. Data Storm wind appeared out of nowhere and stroke the building, before going over it. From the Data Storm wind, two Duel Boards appeared out of nowhere and rode the wind.

One of them was a Duel Board of the same model that the Knights of Hanoi use. The other was an aqua-green Duel Board with wing-blades at the side. "Let's ride!" Wendy called out with her eye wide, making her partner smirk before both she and the Knight of Hanoi jumped up from the rooftop and landed on their Duel Boards.

The two females rode the wind on their Duel Boards with the female Knight of Hanoi taking the lead. Green Witch had an amazed smile on her face as she rode her Duel Board, the wind blowing her cloak and skirt blow in the breeze. "This is amazing! It's just like a Turbo Duel!" The 16-year-old female exclaimed in awe, closing her eyes to take a moment to feel the breeze, before she opened her eyes.

"You can enjoy the breeze some other time. In case you've forgotten, we've got a Knight of Hanoi to defeat". The Witch Ignis told her partner, getting Green Witch to look down at her Duel Disk and gave Wendy a smile. "I know, and don't worry. This won't take long". Green Witch told her partner with a smile, before she looked up at her opponent, who was looking over her left shoulder to look at the witch Duelist. Back at the rooftop, Pink Dragon Mask walked over to the edge, before she spread her wings and followed after the two. "Speed Duel!" The two female Duelists cried out, beginning their Speed Duel.

Green Witch Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 4.

Knight of Hanoi Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 4.

Both Green Witch and the female Knight of Hanoi swiped their right hands in front of them with four cards appearing, floating in front of the two females. "Not bad". Green Witch stated, liking what she has already. The Knight of Hanoi grew a smirk on her face, before she looked forward. "I'll take the first move and to start off, I activate the Seed of Deception Spell card!" The female adult called out as she pressed one of the four cards, causing it and the other three to disappear with the Seed of Deception Spell appearing in front of her as she rode the wind.

"This Spell allows me to Special Summon a Level 2 or below Plant-Type monster from my hand, like my Aromage Jasmine!" The Knight of Hanoi explained her Spell's effect as the card disappeared, before a portal appeared in front of her and Aromage Jasmine came out.

Aromage Jasmine ATK Points: 100/ Level: 2.

Green Witch narrowed her eyes at seeing Aromage Jasmine. "She uses an Aromage deck, huh? Well this is gonna be a handful". The witch Duelist stated, having experience with the Aromage and always found it bothersome. Whenever she dueled Ash's mother Akiza, she'd use her Aromage deck against Rin and kick her butt every time.

"The Aromage deck in your world has Synchro Monsters, correct? Since this world has no Synchro Monsters, perhaps this duel will be easier than you think". Wendy said to her partner, getting Green Witch to look at the Witch Ignis and grow a small smile. "Maybe". The witch Duelist said with a smile on her face, before she looked back at her opponent. "Now, I Summon Aromage Rosemary". The Knight of Hanoi called out as another portal appeared besides her and Aromage Rosemary came out, holding her staff with her right hand.

Aromage Rosemary ATK Points: 1800/ Level: 4.

"Now the fun can get started! I activate the Field Spell, Aroma Garden!" The female adult called out as a Field Spell card appeared in front of her and glowed. "This is where it gets troublesome". Green Witch commented with narrowed eyes, knowing exactly what that Field Spell does.

"I activate Aroma Garden's effect! Once a turn if I control an Aromage monster, I gain 500 Life Points and all monsters I control gains 500 ATK and DEF Points!" The Knight of Hanoi explained her Field Spell's effect as she, Aromage Rosemary and Aromage Jasmine all glowed light green.

Knight of Hanoi Life Points: 4000 + 500 = 4500.

Aromage Rosemary ATK Points: 1800 + 500 = 2300/ DEF Points: 700 + 500 = 1200.

Aromage Jasmine ATK Points: 100 + 500 = 600/ DEF Points: 1900 + 500 = 2400.

"At this moment, both Jasmine and Rosemary's special abilities activate! First, Rosemary switches the battle position of a monster on the field! Like my Aromage Jasmine!" The female adult explained her monster's effect as Rosemary turned around to look at Jasmine and point her staff at her. The blue haired Plant-Type fired a blue beam at Jasmine, making her take a defense stance.

Aromage Jasmine DEF Points: 2400/ Level: 2.

"Now Jasmine's effect! Since I gained Life Points, I can draw a card!" The Knight of Hanoi explained as a blue circled appeared around her Duel Disk and a card came out, one that she drew with her right hand's index and middle fingers. The Knight of Hanoi smirked at what she drew, before the card disappeared. "I'll end my turn with a face down card!" The female adult called out as a face down card appeared in front of her.

Green Witch Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 4.

"I draw!" The 16-year-old female called out as a circle appeared around her triangle Duel Disk and a card came out, which she drew with her right hand's index and middle fingers. "I activate the Continuous Trap card, Humid Winds!" The Knight of Hanoi called out as her face down card flipped open and revealed itself, making Green Witch narrow her eyes.

"Well that's just great!" The teenage girl exclaimed with narrow eyes, knowing exactly what that Trap card does. "This Trap has two effects, and I'll use one of them right now! By paying 1000 Life Points, I can add an 'Aromage' monster from my deck to my hand!" The Knight of Hanoi explained her Trap card's effect, before a red aura covered her with her Life Points decreasing.

Knight of Hanoi Life Points: 4500 – 1000 = 3500.

25 cards appeared in front of the female adult in a line, showing her whole deck. The Knight of Hanoi looked through her cards, before she pressed one of them, causing it and the other 34 cards to disappear. A blue circle appeared around her Duel Disk and a card came out, which she took hold of with her right hand and held it out. "I choose Aromage Marjoram!" The Knight of Hanoi revealed her choice as the card disappeared.

"I can understand why you consider this deck troublesome". Wendy commented with her eye narrowed in an annoyed way. "It gets worse". Green Witch stated, getting her partner to look at the 16-year-old female. "Since her Life Points are now lower than mine, Humid Winds can now increase her Life Points by 500, thus activating Rosemary and Jasmine's effects on my turn. And Marjoram can Special Summon itself if I destroy a Plant Monster she controls and she gains another 500 Life Points. Finally her Field Spell gives her 1000 Life Points if I destroy an 'Aromage' monster she controls". The witch Duelist told her partner all about what their opponent's cards, making the Witch Ignis give out a groan.

"Well this is gonna be a pain in the neck". Wendy stated with her eye closed in displeasure. "My thoughts exactly. But there's a way to get past this formation. Just watch!" Green Witch called out as the card she drew disappeared and five cards appeared in front of her, but her focus was on one of them. It was a Spell card with the image showing a magical forest with Windwitch monsters flying around the forest on their brooms with happy smiles. "To start off, I'll activate the Field Spell Windwitch - Magical Forest!" The green haired girl called out as she pressed the card, causing it and the other four to disappear, before the Field Spell card appeared in front of her.

(Windwitch - Magical Forest/ Type: Field Spell/ Effect: All Windwitch Monsters you control gain 300 ATK Points. If you Special Summon a Windwitch Monster to your field, you can select one Windwitch Monster in your deck with the same Level as that Summoned monster and add it to your hand)

"This Field Spell has two effects! One of them is giving all my Windwitch monsters 300 extra ATK Points!" Green Witch began explaining her Field Spell's effect with a smirk on her face. "You'll learn what its second is later. Now, I Special Summon Windwitch – Black Ice Bell!" The teenage girl called out as she swiped her right hand out to the side.

A Windwitch appeared, riding on her black broom. Black Ice Bell looked exactly like Ice Bell, only her hair, outfit, wand, broom were all black and had blue eyes. Black Ice Bell gave a wink as she flew around on her broom.

(Windwitch - Black Ice Bell/ Level: 3/ Attribute: Wind/ Type: Spellcaster/ Effect/ ATK Points: 1300/ DEF Points: 1000/ Effect: If you control no monsters, you can Special Summon this card from your hand, then deal 500 Points of damage. Once a turn you can select one monster your opponent controls, and halve its ATK and DEF Points)

Windwitch – Black Ice Bell ATK Points: 1300 + 300 = 1600.

"I can Special Summon this card if I control no monsters, then you take 500 points of damage!" Rin explained her monster's special ability with a smirk on her face. Black Ice Bell held her wand out and fired a black laser at the Knight of Hanoi, striking her and making her wince.

Knight of Hanoi Life Points: 4000 – 500 = 3500.

"Now Magical Forest's second effect activates! When a Windwitch monster is Special Summoned, I can select another Windwitch in my deck with the same level and add it to my hand!" The witch Duelist explained her Field Spell's effect as she swiped her right hand in front of her, before 25 cards appeared before her in a line.

The 16-year-old girl looked through her deck, before she picked one of them, causing it and the other cards to disappear. "I choose to add my Windwitch – Freeze Bell to my hand!" Green Witch declared her choice as the card appeared in front of her, before disappearing. The witch Duelist then held out her right hand as Windwitch – Freeze Bell's card appeared in front of it.

"Now if all monsters I control are Windwitch monsters, I can Special Summon Windwitch – Freeze Bell!" The aqua-green haired girl explained as the card disappeared and a portal appeared next to her, before, Windwitch – Freeze Bell came out, riding atop her broom with a small smile on her face.

Windwitch – Freeze Bell ATK Points: 1200 + 300 = 1500/ Level: 3.

"Now just like before with Black Ice Bell, Magical Forest lets me add a Windwitch with the same Level as Freeze Bell!" The green haired girl called out as her deck reappeared in front of her in a straight line, before she started searching through it. Soon she found the card she was looking for and pressed on it.

"I choose my Windwitch – Ice Bell!" Green Witch called out as she held out her right hand with a card appearing in front of her hand. The card then disappeared, before 4 cards appeared in front of her and she looked through the cards, before she pressed one of them with her right hand. "If I control two Windwitch monsters, I can now Special Summon my Windwitch – Snow Bell!" The teenage girl called out as another portal appeared besides her and Snow Bell came out.

Windwitch Snow Bell ATK Points: 100 + 300 = 400/ Level: 1.

"And again, I get another card!" Green Witch called out as 23 cards appeared in front of her, before she pressed on one of them, causing it and the other cards to disappear. Green Witch held out her right hand as a card appeared between her right hand's index and middle fingers. "I choose to add Windwitch – Snow Angel!" The teenage girl called out as she flipped the card over to show what it was.

It was a monster card with the image showing a female adult angel. She had long emerald long hair, silver eyes and pale skin. On her back were silvery white angel wings with white feathers. Angel Bell wore a white priestess outfit, white nail polish on her hands and bare footed.

(Windwitch – Snow Angel Bell Level: 1/ Attribute: Wind/ Type: Spellcaster/ Effect/ ATK Points: 100/ DEF Points: 100/ Effect: (Quick Effect) You can discard this card, target one Windwitch monster on the field, then gain 300 Life Points x its Level)

The card disappeared from Green Witch's fingers, before 4 cards appeared in front of her. She pressed one of them, causing it and the other 3 to disappear. A Spell card appeared in front of Green Witch with the image showing a flock of birds flying near a rainbow. "I activate the Spell card, Sacred Winds!" The green haired girl called out as the Spell card glowed.

(Sacred Winds/ Type: Spell/ Effect: Draw one card for every Wind Attribute monster you control. You can remove this card from the graveyard; add one Wind Attribute monster from your graveyard to your hand)

"Here's how it works; for every Wind Attribute monster I control, I can draw a card! Since I have three, that's three cards I get to draw!" Green Witch explained her Spell's effect as a blue circle appeared around her Duel Disk with three cards coming out and she drew all three of them in a dramatic fashion.

The three cards disappeared and six reappeared in front of Green Witch, allowing her to see her cards. The 16-year-old girl smiled at seeing the cards, before she slide her right hand past three cards, stopping at the last one. "I'll set three face downs!" The teenage girl said as the three cards disappeared and reappeared in front of her, facing downwards so that they wouldn't reveal themselves to the Knights of Hanoi.

"Then I'll activate Black Ice Bell's special ability! Once a turn, she can halve the ATK and DEF Points of one monster you control! I chose Aromage Rosemary!" Green Witch explained her monster's effect as she pointed towards Rosemary. Black Ice Bell gave out a wink with her right eye, before she fired a black snowy beam from her wand at Rosemary, striking her back and freezing the Water Attribute monster up.

Aromage Rosemary ATK Points: 2300 – 1150 = 1150/ DEF Points: 1200 – 600 = 600.

The female Knight of Hanoi gritted her teeth a bit, before she smirked. "At this moment, I activate Humid Winds' second effect!" The female adult called out as her Trap card glowed green, before a green aura appeared over her. "If my Life Points are lower than yours, my Trap allows me to regain 500 Life Points!" The Knight of Hanoi explained her Trap card's effect as her Life Points increased.

Knight of Hanoi Life Points: 3500 + 500 = 4000.

"Now at this moment, both Rosemary and Jasmine's effects activate! First, Jasmine lets me draw another card!" The Knight of Hanoi explained as a blue circle appeared around her Duel Disk and a card came out, which she drew with her right hand's index and middle fingers. "Then Rosemary switches your Black Ice Bell to Defense Mode!" The female adult added as Rosemary broke the ice around her and turned around, before she fired a blue beam from her staff at Black Ice Bell, forcing her to take a defense stance.

Windwitch – Black Ice Bell DEF Points: 1000/ Level: 3.

Green Witch narrowed her eyes as she looked at Black Ice Bell, who was flying next to her, before she looked up ahead. "I end my turn here". Green Witch declared her turn over, getting the female Knight of Hanoi to look a bit surprised.

Aromage Rosemary ATK Points: 1150 – 500 = 650/ DEF Points: 1200 - 500 = 700.

Aromage Jasmine ATK Points: 600 – 500 = 100/ DEF Points: 2400 – 500 = 1900.

Knight of Hanoi Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 2.

"My turn now! I draw!" The Knight of Hanoi called out as a blue circle appeared around her Duel Disk and a card came out, which she drew with her right hand's index and middle fingers. The card disappeared from her fingers and three cards appeared in front of her, making the Knight of Hanoi smirk as she began to reach out towards one of them with her right hand, but Green Witch wouldn't allow it.

"I activate the Trap card, Windwitch – Metal Telepathy!" Green Witch called out as she thrust her right hand open as the right face down card flipped itself open. The image showed Windwitch – Ice Bell and Breaker the Magical Warrior sitting around a table, with the Windwitch holding a crystal ball that showed Dark Magician in it.

(Windwitch - Mental Telepathy/ Type: Continuous Trap/ Effect: Once a turn, for each Windwitch monster you control, select one card in your opponent's hand and look at it)

The Knight of Hanoi widened her eyes in surprise, having not expected this so soon. "Once a turn, this card allows me to select cards in your hand up to the Windwitch monsters I control and look at them!" Green Witch explained her Trap card's effect as she swiped her right hand out to the side, making the Knight of Hanoi widen her eyes in surprise.

"I have a total of 3 monsters and you have 3 cards, so that means your whole hand is revealed!" The teenage girl told the older female as a screen appeared in front of her and showed three cards. The three cards were Aroma Gardening, Child's Play and Aromage Marjoram, making Green Witch smirk and the Knight of Hanoi narrow her eyes.

"So you know what my cards are, so what?" The Knight of Hanoi questioned Green Witch, turning to look over her left shoulder to look at her opponent. The 16-year-old female gave her opponent a smirk, before she thrust out her right hand. "So now I can use this! The Quick-Play Spell, Windwitch – Icicle Blocker!" Green Witch called out as her left face down card revealed itself. The image showed Windwitch – Glass Bell blocking the path of a surprised Synchron Explorer, Effect Veiler and Decoy Dragon.

(Windwitch - Icicle Blocker/ Quick-Play Spell/ Effect: Declare up to 3 card names and if your opponent has any cards with the declared name in their hand, remove them from play)

"You're not gonna like this! Thanks to my partner's Spell card, she can guess up to three card names and if you have any of those cards in your hand, they're removed from play!" Wendy explained the Quick-Play Spell's effect for her partner, making the Knight of Hanoi widen her eyes in surprise.

"I say you have Aromage Marjoram, Child's Play and Aroma Gardening!" Green Witch called out with a smirk on her face, making the Knight of Hanoi grit her teeth before she looked forward and saw her three cards turn into sparkles. "Now her hands' empty". Wendy commented with a pleased look, getting Green Witch to look down at her partner. "For the moment, but that's about to change". The teenage girl told her partner, getting the Witch Ignis to look at her partner and move her eye down as if she was nodding to her.

"I activate Humid Winds' effect! By paying 1000 Life Points, I can add an 'Aromage' monster from my deck to my hand!" The Knight of Hanoi explained her Trap card's effect, before a red aura covered her with her Life Points decreasing.

Knight of Hanoi Life Points: 4000 – 1000 = 3000.

21 cards appeared in front of the female adult in a line, before she pressed one of the cards, causing it and the rest to disappear. "I add Aromag Bergamot to my hand!" The Knight of Hanoi called out as a card appeared in front of her, before she held her right hand out. "Now I activate Humid Winds' second effect! If my Life Points are lower than yours, my Trap allows me to regain 500 Life Points!" The Knight of Hanoi explained her Trap card's effect as her Life Points increased.

Knight of Hanoi Life Points: 3000 + 500 = 3500.

"Now at this moment, both Rosemary and Jasmine's effects activate! First, Jasmine lets me draw another card!" The Knight of Hanoi explained as a blue circle appeared around her Duel Disk and a card came out, which she drew with her right hand's index and middle fingers. "Then Rosemary changes your Snow Bell to DEF Mode!" The female adult added as Rosemary fired another blue beam from her staff at Snow Bell, forcing the Tuner monster to take a defense stance.

Windwitch – Snow Bell DEF Points: 0/ Level: 1.

"Why would she do that?" The Witch Ignis questioned in confusion, wondering why she changed Snow Bell to DEF Mode since it was the weakest monster on the field. "It was for Bergamont". Green Witch answered her partner, getting Wendy to shift her attention from the Knight of Hanoi to her.

"Now I activate the Spell card, Dian Keto the Cure Master!" The female adult called out as a Spell card appeared in front of her and released sparkles at her. "This Spell card increases my Life Points by 1000 points!" The Knight of Hanoi explained her Spell's effect as her Life Points went up.

Knight of Hanoi Life Points: 3500 + 1000 = 4500.

"Now she can use her mothers' second effect. Jasmine lets her Normal Summon another Plant-Type monster, while Rosemary seals off monster effects when Plant-Types attack". Green Witch explained with narrowed eyes, knowing full well what the two Plant-Types can do now. "How much effects depend on Life Points recovering do these cards have?" Wendy questioned in annoyance, beginning to get annoyed with how this Knight of Hanoi just keeps on recovering Life Points.

"Now, I Summon Aroma Jar!" The female adult called out as a portal appeared and somekind of jar with different color candles under it, appeared.

Aroma Jar ATK Points: 500/ Level: 1.

"Now through Jasmine's effect, I will now release Aroma Jar to Advance Summon Aromage Bergamot!" The Knight of Hanoi cried out as Aroma Jar shattered, before a portal appeared and Aromage Bergamot appeared from it with her staff in her right hand.

Aromage Bergamot ATK Points: 2400/ Level: 6.

The female Knight of Hanoi began laughing in a crazy manner with her hands out, before she held her right hand out to the sky. "Now appear! My Circuit!" The female adult cried out to the heavens as the link portal appeared in the sky. "The conditions are two Plant monsters! I set Aromage Jasmine and Aromage in the Link Arrows!" The Knight of Hanoi called out as Jasmine turned into a silver tornado, while Rosemary turned into a blue tornado.

The two tornadoes flew up into the air, before they both struck the Bottom-Left and Bottom-Right Link Arrows, causing them to glow with the tornadoes disappearing. The link portal lit up with energy as the portal glowed white. "I Link Summon Aromaseraphy Jasmine!" The female adult cried out to the heavens as her Link Monster revealed itself. It was Jasmine, but she's grown up a bit and had aromage wings, a hair band and a new staff.

Aromaseraphy Jasmine ATK Points: 1800/ Link-2/ Link Arrows: Bottom-Left and Bottom-Right.

"Well that's new". Green Witch stated, honestly having no idea what this monster could do. "Brace yourself!" Wendy warned her partner, knowing that things just got more difficult. "I activate Aroma Garden's special effect! Since I control an Aromage monster, my Field Spell gives me 500 Life Points and all my monsters gain 500 ATK and DEF Points!" The Knight of Hanoi called out as her Field Spell glowed green, before a green aura covered her, Jasmine and Bergamot.

Knight of Hanoi Life Points: 4500 + 500 = 5000.

Aromage Bergamot ATK Points: 2400 + 500 = 2900/ DEF Points: 1800 + 500 = 2300.

Aromaseraphy Jasmine ATK Points: 1800 + 500 = 2300.

"Now Bergamot's special ability activates! When I gain Life Points, her ATK and DEF Points increase by 1000!" The female adult explained her monster's special ability as the green aura around Bergamot changed to red.

Aromage Bergamot ATK Points: 2900 + 1000 = 3900/ DEF Points: 1800 + 500 = 2300.

"Now Jasmine's effect! Since I gain Life Points, I can add a Plant-Type monster from my deck to my hand!" The female Knight of Hanoi explained her Link Monster's as a card appeared in front of her and she took hold of it with her right hand. "I choose Aromage Cananga!" The adult woman called out as the card disappeared from her fingers.

"Can it get any worse?" Green Witch questioned with her eyes narrowed, knowing she won't like the answer. "Yes it can! I activate my Skill: Aroma Life Difference!" The Knight of Hanoi called out as the red line on her mask began glowing.

(Aroma Life Difference/ Type: Skill/ Effect: Select one 'Aromage' monster you control, increase its ATK and DEF Points by the difference between your Life Points and your opponent's Life Points)

"My Skill powers up one of my Aromage monsters by the difference between our Life Points!" The female adult explained her Skill's effect as she and Bergamot began glowing red. "The difference between our Life Points is 1000, so Bergamot gains another 1000 ATK and DEF Points!" She calculated as Bergamot powered up even more.

Aromage Bergamot ATK Points: 3900 + 1000 = 4900/ DEF Points: 2300 + 1000 = 3300.

"With this, the Duel is over! Aromage Bergamot, attack Windwitch – Snow Bell!" The Knight of Hanoi commanded her monster as she held her left hand out to the Tuner monster. Bergamont gave out a battle cry as she turned around and charged towards Windwitch – Snow Angel.

"You're getting awfully carried away! I'm not finished because I still have this!" Green Witch called out as her final face down card revealed itself, showing that it was a trap with the image showing Windwitch – Ice Bell waving her wand around as she created bubbles. "The Trap card, Windwitch – Bubble Illusion!" The witch Duelist cried out as her Trap card glowed.

(Windwitch – Bubble Illusion/ Type: Trap/ Effect: If an opponent's monster declares an attack on a Windwitch monster you control, either negate the attack or decrease its ATK Points by 1000.)

"This Trap has two effects and only one of them can be activated when you declare an attack on a Windwitch monster I control! One of the options us decreasing your monster's ATK Points by 1000, or negate the attack! And I choose to negate the attack!" Green Witch explained her Trap card's effect as bubbles came out of the card.

The bubbles floated in front of Snow Bell, protecting her. When Bergamon came into contact with them, they released a force of energy that pushed her back and stopped her attack. The FIRE Attribute monster returned to her mistress' side, who had her teeth gritted in anger at seeing her attack fail.

"Fine, so you stopped Bergamon's attack, but you can't stop Jasmine's! Aromaseraphy Jasmine, attack Windwitch – Snow Bell!" The Knight of Hanoi commanded her Link Monster, which Jasmine obeyed as she turned around and fired a silver beam from her staff. "Don't forget Bergamon's other effect. If my Life Points are higher than yours, my Plant-Type monsters can deal piercing damage!" The female adult told the witch Duelist as the beam stroke Snow Bell and destroyed the Tuner monster. (2300 – 0 = 2300)

Green Witch Life Points: 4000 – 2300 = 1700.

"Hahaha! With this, my victory is assured! I end my turn!" The female adult laughed out, confident of her victory over Green Witch.

Green Witch Life Points: 1700/ Number of cards in hand: 3.

"I draw!" Green Witch called out as a blue circle appeared around her Duel Disk with a card appearing, before she drew her card in a dramatic fashion with her right hand's index and middle fingers. The card disappeared from her hand, before 4 cards materialized in front of her, allowing Green Witch to see her cards.

"I don't know about you, but I've had enough of this". The teenage girl told her partner with an annoyed frown on her face. "That makes two of us". The Witch Ignis stated in agreement, her eye narrowed in an annoyed way. "It's time I ended this annoying Duel". Green Witch said as she grew a confident smirk on her face, ready to end this Duel once and for all.

Wendy turned to look at her partner and gave her a confident look. "Then how about I help you with that? Let's turn her deck's greatest strength into a weakness". Wendy said to her partner, getting Green Witch to look at her partner with a confused look on her face. Wendy's eye started glowing green, making Green Witch widen her eyes in surprise.

"Come on out, Green Data Storm!" The Witch Ignis called out as green colored strays of wind started coming together, before forming a huge green data storm a little bit away from Green Witch and the Knight of Hanoi, which both females looked up at it in surprise. "Is this that Data Storm thing that you told me about?" The 16-year-old female questioned her Ignis partner, which Wendy looked up at her and nodded.

"Yup. Now, ride on into it and use your Skill!" The Witch Ignis told her partner, getting Green Witch to look down at her partner for a few moments, before she grew a smirk and nodded. The green haired girl's Duel Board went faster than before, passing the female Knight of Hanoi with Black Ice Bell and Freeze Bell going as fast as their Duelist.

Eventually, Green Witch rode her Duel Board into the Green Data Storm and rode the strong winds within, having trouble keeping her balance, but managed to remain standing. "Now, use that Skill I told her about!" Wendy told her partner, getting Green Witch to nod without looking at the Witch Ignis, before she held out her right hand as bits of the wind began gathering in her hand, creating a green light. "I activate my Skill, Magical Storm Access!" The teenage girl called out with her eyes narrowed as she grabbed her right wrist with her left hand.

(Magical Storm Access/ Type: Skill/ Effect: If the user controls a 'Windwitch' monster on their field, the user randomly adds a 'Windwitch' Link Monster from a nearby Green Data Storm and adds it to their Extra Deck.)

"If I control a 'Windwitch' monster on my field, I can now add a random 'Windwitch' Link Monster from the Green Data Storm to my Extra Deck!" Green Witch explained her Skill's effect as a card began to materialize on her hand. After a moment, the card was complete with Green Witch taking hold of it with her right hand, making her laugh in joy.

A shadowy humanoid figure appeared from a bright light, before it swung a staff downwards, slicing the Green Data Storm open and creating a path for Green Witch. The teenage girl took the opportunity given to her and rode her Duel Board out of the Green Data Storm, which dispersed after she came out of it. "Haha!" The 16-year-old female laughed out as she was now in the lead, a little bit away from the female Knight of Hanoi, who gritted her teeth in anger.

"Now to start off, I'll play the Spell card, Monster Reborn!" Green Witch called out as she held her right hand forward, before the legendary Spell card appeared in front of her. "With this card's power, I'll bring back Windwitch – Snow Bell from the graveyard!" The teenage girl told her opponent as Snow Bell flew out of Monster Reborn's card and flew besides Black Ice Bell and Freeze Bell.

Windwitch – Snow Bell ATK Points: 100 + 300 = 400/ Level: 1.

"I could use Magical Forest's effect, but there's no need for that. Now I activate Windwitch – Black Ice Bell's special ability!" Green Witch called out with a smile as Black Ice Bell turned around and fired a black ice beam from her wand at Bergamont. The beam struck the Fire Attribute monster, making Bergamont cry out in surprise as black ice began to form around her.

"Once a turn, Black Ice Bell can half your monster's ATK and DEF Points! Time for your Bergamont to chill out!" The teenage girl explained her monster's special ability as half of Bergamont's body was incased in ice.

Aromage Bergamont ATK Points: 4900 – 2450 = 2450/ DEF Points: 3300 – 1650 = 1650.

"My Bergamont!" The Knight of Hanoi called out in shock at seeing her powerful monster's ATK and DEF Points get cut in half. "I'm not done yet! Now appear, Circuit of the Wind!" Green Witch called out as she swiped her right hand to the side, before holding it up to the sky with the link portal appearing in the sky. "Link Arrows authorized! The summoning conditions are one Level 1 Windwitch monster! I set Windwitch – Snow Bell in the Link Arrow!" The witch Duelist called out as she brought her right hand down in front of her.

Windwitch – Snow Bell turned into a white tornado that flew into the air, before it struck the Bottom Link Arrow, causing it to glow with the tornado disappearing. The link portal lit up with energy as the portal glowed white. "Link the Circuit! I Link Summon! Link-1! Windwitch – Fate Reverser!" Green Witch called out as her new monster came out of the link portal and revealed itself.

It was a human female adult with fair skin, pure silver eyes and long green hair that reached her back. Fate Reverser dons a risqué version of the typical witch's garb. Her silver top had a diamond-shaped opening, exposing a portion of her breasts, and a heart-shaped pattern around the borders. It extended down to the naval of her stomach, draped over by an emerald-colored cape with a light-colored inside and two medallion gold-like ornaments, and is held together by a golden chain. Not left bare, too, her neck was decorated by other small cloth-based accessories, including a wide bow. Additionally, Fate Reverser wore an elongated silver loincloth, having white borders on its edges and was connected to another cloth piece with the very same heart-shaped design. She also wore silver thigh-high boots with heels that had a silver-colored border near the top and gloves of the same color and design, only having claw-like extensions. On her head was an emerald witch hat. In her left hand was an emerald long staff and finally, she was riding on an emerald broom.

(Windwitch – Fate Reverser/ Attribute: Light/ Link-1/ ATK Points: ?/ Link Arrows: Bottom/ Requirements: 1 Level 1 Windwitch monster/ Effect: This card's ATK are equal to a monster this card points to. Any effect that would increase your opponent's Life Points is changed to inflict the same amount of damage instead.)

"Nice Link Monster. Too bad it doesn't have any ATK Points!" The female Knight of Hanoi laughed out with her right hand on her hip, making Green Witch smirk at her opponent. "For the moment, but that's about to change in a moment!" The teenage girl exclaimed with a confident tone, getting the Knight of Hanoi to frown in confusion.

The Windwitch Duelist held her right hand out in front of her. "I activate Sacred Winds' effect from the graveyard!" Green Witch called out as a black portal appeared in front of her, before Sacred Winds' card floated out and glowed. "By removing this card from the Graveyard, I can add a WIND Attribute monster from my Graveyard to my hand!" The witch Duelist explained her Spell card turned into sparkles, before Windwitch – Snow Bell's card floated out of the portal.

"I'll add my Windwitch – Snow Bell back to my hand!" Green Witch called out as Snow Bell's card shot out to her and she caught it with her right hand, before she held the card out. "Ahh heck, I'll even play her again!" The teenage girl called out, before the card disappeared and Snow Bell reappeared besides Fate Reverser, Black Ice Bell and Freeze Bell.

Windwitch – Snow Bell ATK Points: 100 + 300 = 400/ Level: 1.

"At this moment, Fate Reverse's special ability activates! Her ATK Points increase to match the monster it points to! Since she points to Snow Bell, her ATK Points become 400!" Wendy explained her partner's Link Monster's ability as green auras covered both Snow Bell and Fate Reverser.

Windwitch – Fate Reverser ATK Points: 0 + 400 = 400.

"Sorry, not impressed". The female Knight of Hanoi stated with a smirk on her face, making Green Witch and Wendy chuckle. "Whoever said I was done?" Green Witch questioned her opponent, making the Hanoi member frown. "I now activate Freeze Bell's special ability!" The teenage girl called out as she held her right hand into the air as a green aura covered Freeze Bell. "Once a turn, Freeze Bell can increase her Level by 1!" The Witch Ignis explained her partner's monster's effect as Freeze Bell's Level increased.

Windwitch – Freeze Bell Level: 3 + 1 = 4.

"Everything is now set for our comeback". Wendy stated with her eye narrowed, getting Green Witch to nod in agreement. "You're right about now. Now sit back and enjoy the show!" The witch Duelist exclaimed as she brought her hands together and held them in front of her. "I tune Level 4 Windwitch – Freeze Bell and Level 3 Windwitch – Black Ice Bell with Level 1 Windwitch – Snow Bell!" Green Witch called out to the heavens as she spread her hands out to the side.

The world grayed out as green energy gathered around Green Witch's Duel Board before blasting upwards into the sky. Wind Witch – Black Ice Bell, Freeze Bell and Snow Bell disintegrated into green data that reformed into three rings made of three, four and one concentric circles. The rings turned blue and merged before reforming into eight blue rings in a tower. A screen appeared that said "4 + 3 + 1" before changing to "8". Light appeared and surged through the rings.

"I'm Summoning a Monster that will hit you with all the power of a wicked wintertime blizzard! I Synchro Summon Windwitch – Diamond Bell!" Green Witch chanted as Windwitch – Diamond Bell emerged from the portal. Windwitch – Diamond Bell unleashed a snowy blizzard as it appeared.

Windwitch – Diamond Bell ATK Points: 2800 + 300 = 3100/ Level: 8.

Windwitch – Fate Reverser ATK Points: 400 – 400 = 0.

"Now things are going our way!" Windy called out in an excited tone, getting pumped up from seeing her partner Synchro Summon. "You got that right! Now, both Diamond Bell and Fate Reverser's special abilities activate! First, since Diamond Bell replaced Snow Bell's spot in the zone that Fate Reverse points to, her ATK Points become the same as hers!" Green Witch explained as she held her right hand out, before both her monsters gained a white aura around them.

Windwitch – Fate Reverser ATK Points: 0 + 3100 = 3100.

"And now Diamond Bell's special ability activates! When this card is Synchro Summoned, I can select one Windwitch monster in my Graveyard and you take damage equal to half its ATK Points!" The teenage girl explained her Synchro Monster's special ability. Windwitch – Black Ice Bell appeared in front of Diamond Bell, looking see through like a ghost before she turned into black sparkles and was absorbed into Diamond Bell.

"Black Ice Bell had 1300 ATK Points, meaning that's 650 points of damage coming your way!" Wendy called out in a sharp tone, before Diamond Bell fired a black snow storm at the female Knight of Hanoi, striking her back and making her cry out in pain.

Knight of Hanoi Life Points: 5000 – 650 = 4350.

"I activate Humid Winds' effect! By paying 1000 Life Points, I can add an 'Aromage' monster from my deck to my hand!" The Knight of Hanoi explained her Trap card's effect, before a red aura covered her with her Life Points decreasing.

Knight of Hanoi Life Points: 4350 – 1000 = 3350.

19 cards appeared in front of the female adult in a line, before she pressed one of the cards, causing it and the rest to disappear. "I add Aromage Marjoram!" The Knight of Hanoi revealed her choice as a single card appeared in front of her. "That won't help you! Time to brawl! Diamond Bell attacks Jasmine!" Green Witch called out, thrusting her right hand out as Diamond Bell fired a blizzard storm at Jasmine.

The Link Monster turned around and used her staff to defend herself from the blizzard storm. "While my Life Points are higher than yours, Jasmine and monsters she points to cannot be destroyed by battle!" The female adult told her opponent about her Link Monster's special ability, having a smirk on her face. "You're still losing Life Points!" The witch Duelist reminded her opponent as a little bit of the blizzard storm passed through Jasmine and struck the Knight of Hanoi, making her grit her teeth. (3100 – 2300 = 800)

Knight of Hanoi Life Points: 3350 – 800 = 2550.

"Hahaha! No matter what you do, you cannot win!" The female adult laughed out, confident of her victory over Green Witch. Green Witch on the other hand, was smirking. "You don't even realize that you've lost". The witch Duelist said with a smirk, getting the female Knight of Hanoi to stop laughing. "Windwitch – Crystal Bell's special ability now activates! Once per turn if the opponent takes battle or effect damage, Crystal Bell can destroy a card you control!" Wendy explained her partner's Synchro Monster's special ability to the Knight of Hanoi, making her widen her eyes in shock. "Then that means…!" The female adult said in shock, but Green Witch kept smirking.

"Don't worry. I'm not gonna target your Field Spell, I'm gonna target your Aromage Bergamont!" Green Witch called out as she pointed at Aromage Bergamont. Crystal Bell fired an ice blue colored blizzard at Bergamont, striking the half frozen Plant-Type monster before she exploded.

The Knight of Hanoi started laughing again. "You fool! You should have targeted my Field Spell, but it's too late now! Aroma Garden's effect activates! If a face-up Aromage I control is destroyed by battle or by a card effect, I gain 1000 Life Points!" The female adult explained her Field Spell's effect as the card reappeared and started glowing. "I made no mistake! This is what I wanted!" Green Witch told her opponent in a sharp tone, getting the Knight of Hanoi to frown in confusion.

"Fate Reverser's special ability now activates!" The witch Duelist called out, swiping her right hand to the side towards Fate Reverser. The Link Monster held her staff out towards Aroma Garden's card, firing a silver beam at the Field Spell and causing it to glow silver. The Field Spell then fired a silver beam at the Knight of Hanoi, striking her at the chest and making her gasp in pain.

Knight of Hanoi Life Points: 2550 – 1000 = 1550.

"What just happened!? Why did I lose Life Points!?" The female adult demanded in an angered tone, turning to look at Green Witch for an explanation. "It's Fate Reverser's special ability! Any effect that would increase your Life Points is changed to inflict the same amount of damage instead!" Wendy told the Knight of Hanoi for her partner, making the Hanoi member gasp in shock.

"Impossible…!" The female Knight of Hanoi whispered in disbelief, now understanding what Green Witch meant what she said earlier. "Well believe it or not, it is possible. Fate Reverser, your turn now! Attack Aromaseraphy Jasmine!" Green Witch commanded her Link Monster, which Fate Reverser nodded to her mistress, before firing a silver beam from her staff at Jasmine, creating an explosion upon impact. (3100 – 2300 = 800)

Knight of Hanoi Life Points: 1550 – 800 = 750.

"Don't forget your Field Spell's effect. Normally you'd regain 1000 Life Points, but thanks to Fate Reverser's special ability, that's 1000 Life Points you lose instead. And since you only have 750 Life Points left, that's game". Green Witch told her opponent with an innocent smile, making the Knight of Hanoi gasp in horror as she looked at her Field Spell. Aroma Garden's card still had a silver aura around it, before it fired another silver beam at the female Knight of Hanoi, creating an explosion upon making contact. The female Knight of Hanoi was blown off her D-Board and into the sky, crying out before she disintegrated.

Knight of Hanoi Life Points: 750 – 1000 = 0.

Winner: Green Witch!

"Oh, the irony! Losing because of a card that's meant to increase your Life Points, that's gotta hurt". Wendy commented, looking amused at how the Knight of Hanoi lost the Duel. "You can say that again. Now that she's out of the way, let's get to our other matter". Green Witch said with a smirk, before she leaped off her D-Board, which dematerialized once its rider ceased riding it.

The 16-year-old female landed on the top of a nearby rooftop, before she began turning her head left and right, searching for something. "Mommy!" A familiar voice called out, getting Green Witch to smile brightly as she looked up above and saw Pink Dragon Mask flying towards her. The green haired girl held her hands out to the 7-year-old girl for a hug, something that Pink Dragon Mask happily gave Green Witch.

Green Witch held her daughter in her hands, hugging her tightly with Pink Dragon Mask happily returning the favor. "I missed you. I thought I'd never see you again". The young child emotionally said to the teenage girl, a few tears escaping her eyes. Green Witch placed her left hand on the back of Pink Dragon Mask's head and gave her a comforting rub, while she held her body with her right hand. "Nothing could keep me away from you. Not even the boundaries of another world". The teenage girl told her precious child, her voice gentle and comforting for her daughter.

Pink Dragon Mask hugged her mother tighter than before, her only sound being her happy cries. While the two humans had their reunion, Wendy and Velvet had their own reunion. "I'm relieved to see you're safe, Velvet". The Witch Ignis said in a relieved tone, happy to see the Child Ignis safe and sound. "I'm glad as well, Wendy. I'm sure Carla and the others will be just as happy as I am". The Child Ignis said in a happy tone, slightly surprising Wendy at what she just said.

Before Wendy had the chance to question Velvet what she meant, the sounds of a D-Board got everyone's attention. Green Witch and Pink Dragon Mask all looked up above to see Lunalight Dancer riding atop her D-Board, before she jumped off of it and landed on the same rooftop as them. The Lunalight Duelist looked at Green Witch and gave her a smile, not the least bit shocked to see her. "I was wondering when you were gonna show up". Lunalight Dancer said to Green Witch as she began walking up to her sister.

Lunalight Dancer's words made Green Witch chuckle, amused at the indigo haired girl's words. "Sorry I took so long, I had an errand to take care of". The Windwitch Duelist said in an amused tone, before she held out her left hand out for a high five, one that the Lunalight Duelist happily did as she clapped her right hand against Green Witch's hand.

"Nice to see you're still kicking, Wendy". Carla greeted her fellow Ignis, getting her partner's attention as she held up her left arm in front of her. "It's hard to be kicking when you don't have legs!" Wendy snapped at the Cat Ignis, making Carla laugh out at her response. "I guess you're right, but that's the difference between us. You don't have legs at the moment, but I do". Carla stated, before she emerged from her partner's Duel Disk with her hands on her hips and her tail sticking out to the left.

Seeing Carla in her full form made Wendy widen her eyes in surprise, having not expected this. "You've gotta be kidding me! How did you regain your lost data?" The Witch Ignis questioned her fellow Ignis, which Carla gave her a smug look. "Why, Azure gave my data back". The Cat Ignis answered the Witch Ignis, increasing Wendy's surprise at hearing the White Dragon Ignis' name. "You've even found Azure?" The Witch Ignis questioned once more in surprise, which the Cat Ignis nodded to her.

Green Witch, Lunalight Dancer, Pink Dragon Mask and Velvet watched the two female Ignis interact with each other, before the witch Duelist turned her attention to her sister. "I've watch and learned about you, Purple Night, White Dragon Mask and the Ignis that you've all got. Good names by the way to suit you guys, but it was pretty easy to figure out who you guys actually were. What I don't understand is why you're with this Playmaker guy. Mind giving me an explanation?" Green Witch requested as she crossed her arms and her cloaked blew slightly in the breeze.

"Sure, if it's to help catch you up to speed. But first we're gonna need some help". Lunalight Dancer replied to her sister, before she looked down at her Duel Disk and at Carla. "Carla?" The Lunalight Duelist said to her partner, getting the Cat Ignis' attention as she turned around and looked up at Lunalight Dancer. "Could you send a message to Purple Night and Raven, telling them to come here and help us explain things to Green Witch?" Lunalight Dancer requested from her partner, getting Carla to look a bit curious, but still nodded to her partner. "All right, I'll get to it right away. I'll even send our coordinates". The Cat Ignis told her partner, before she retracted into the kite shaped Duel Disk and returned to her eye form, which was closed.

"Here, take this". Wendy said to her friend, before a green beam shot out of her eye towards Lunalight Dancer's Duel Disk and struck Carla's eye. "That should help them believe the message just in case". The Witch Ignis remarked as the beam disappeared. Lunalight Dancer, Green Witch, Wendy, Pink Dragon Mask and Velvet waited for a good 30 seconds, before eventually Carla reopened her eye.

"The message has been sent. Now, we just wait for them to show up". The Cat Ignis told all the females, getting Lunalight Dancer to smile a bit, before she turned to look at Green Witch. "I'll tell you what I know to pass the time, but it won't be much because I've only recently joined the team not too long ago". The Lunalight Duelist told her sister with a smile, getting Green Witch's attention as she looked at the indigo haired girl and nodded to hear, willing to hear what she knows about the situation so far.

(Meanwhile back in the real world)

Back in the real world, Ash, Azure, Yusaku, Kolter, Lulu and Raven were still inside the van. The three males and Azure were currently working on the computer, deleting all information that the net has on White Dragon Mask, Playmaker, Purple Night and Lunalight Dancer. Lulu was sitting down on a chair behind them, reading a book to pass the time with her Duel Disk strapped to her left arm. Raven was in her eye form, looking up online books to read to learn more about humans and the history of earth.

However, suddenly Lulu's Duel Disk started ringing like that of a phone, getting everyone's attention as they temporarily stopped their work. "What's that?" Kolter question in a curious tone as he turned to look over his right shoulder to look at Lulu. Ash and Yusaku did the same, only looking over their left shoulders. Raven closed her eye for a moment, before she opened her eye and looked at her partner. "It's a message from Lunalight Dancer, along with the coordinates to her location". The Bird Ignis told her partner, getting Lulu and everyone else to frown in confusion at why their ally sent coordinates to her location. "Why'd she do that? Do you think something happened to her and Saya?" Yusaku questioned as he turned to look at Ash, who looked at him as well.

"Let's not jump to conclusions. Raven, bring up the message". The purple haired girl told her Ignis partner as she put her book away, which the Bird Ignis nodded to her partner before a screen appeared above the Duel Disk's orb with writing on it. Lulu read the message in her head, her eyes moving from word to word before eventually she reached the end of the message, leaving her with wide eyes of shock.

Everyone saw Lulu's disbelief look and immediately grew concerned. "What does it say Lulu?" Ash asked his girlfriend in concern, which the purple haired girl slowly raised her head and looked at her boyfriend. "It says that they've run into someone else from our world". Lulu answered the White Dragon Emperor, making Ash, Azure, Yusaku and Kolter widen their eyes in surprise.

"Another person from your world? Are you kidding me?!" Kolter exclaimed in disbelief, finding it hard to believe another person from the world of the four dimensions is here in this world. "It doesn't look like this message is a joke. There's even an Ignis algorithm in it". Raven told the purple haired man, making all the humans in the room widen their eyes in surprise once more. Azure on the other hand, looked curious as he emerged from his partner's Duel Disk.

"An Ignis algorithm? Check it out, maybe it'll help us find out which Ignis created it". The White Dragon Ignis told her mate, getting Raven to turn her eye towards Azure, before she moved her eye up and down. "Give me a moment". Raven replied to her mate before she closed her eye and focused. 10 seconds later, the Bird Ignis opened her eye and looked amused. "This has Wendy written all over it". Raven said with an amused tone, getting Azure to look amused as he chuckled with his claws crossed.

"That says it all". The White Dragon Ignis stated, getting Ash, Yusaku and Kolter to look at him with curious expressions on their faces. "And just who is this 'Wendy' Ignis?" Yusaku questioned Azure with a curious look, wondering who this 'Wendy' is. Azure turned his head to look at the 16-year-old partner of his friend, before he fully turned around to face him.

"Wendy's the Witch Ignis, she's a close friend to Carla, Raven and I. You could say she's the Ignis of magic and can do all sorts of things. Not to mention she has a sense of childish humor". Azure told Yusaku and everyone else about Wendy, looking like he was smiling as he told them about his friend. Ash and Lulu had small smiles on their faces at hearing Azure's words, while Kolter and Yusaku still looked curious about something.

"You said 'That says it all', right? What does that mean?" Kolter questioned the White Dragon Ignis, thinking back to what Azure said a few moments ago. Azure turned around and looked at Kolter, placing his claws on his hips with his tail swishing. "Just like with Carla, I gave her data of the program that brought Ash, Lulu and Saya here. Meaning that just like with Carla, Wendy must have used the program to bring someone here". Azure told everyone in the room, getting Ash to frown as he looked down in thought with his right hand holding his chin.

The screen above Lulu's Duel Disk's orb disappeared, before Raven emerged from her partner's Duel Disk and looked at the purple haired female. "We should log into LINK VRAINS and check on everyone. The message said that Wendy and her partner dueled a Knight of Hanoi". The Bird Ignis informed her partner with a sharp tone and her eyes narrowed, getting Lulu's attention as she looked at Raven for a moment, before she nodded. Raven looked pleased, before she retracted into her partner's Duel Disk and returned to her eye form.

The purple haired female stood up on her feet, before she turned her head to look at the others. "Raven and I are gonna check on everyone in LINK VRAINS and see who Wendy brought to this world. If we're lucky, we might have a new ally to help us fight against the Knights of Hanoi". Lulu told her friends, her eyes narrowed and her voice sharp to show how important this was.

The three human males and White Dragon Ignis nodded to her, understanding how important this is. "Alright, but be careful. Both of you". Ash told his girlfriend, which Lulu nodded to her boyfriend with a quick smile. "You can use the log in room that Yusaku uses. Just don't break anything". Kolter told the teenage girl, making Lulu giggle in amusement with her eyes closed, before she gave a nod to the adult man. "I won't". The purple haired girl replied to the adult man, before she walked up to the hidden room.

Lulu placed her right hand on the wall, before she lifted her hand off as the door opened. "Stay on guard you two. There's no telling if any more of the Hanoi will show up". Azure warned the two females, getting Lulu and Raven's attention as they looked at the White Dragon Ignis. "Don't worry, we'll keep our eyes out". Raven told her beloved as she gave Azure a wink, making him chuckle a bit before he retracted into his partner's Duel Disk.

Lulu turned her head forward as she walked into the room with the door closing behind her. The purple haired girl took a deep sigh with her eyes closed, before she snapped her eyes open and held her left arm up. "Time to link into the VRAINS!" Lulu cried out as the words "Into the VRAINS" appeared on her Duel Disk's screen. A sphere of data appeared and surrounded Lulu's body, covering her as she transformed.

Lulu had her eyes closed in peace as she spread her hands out. Her hair's wing-shaped barrette disappeared and her hair freed itself, causing it to over her feet. Her legs and pants glowed purple for a moment, before the glow disappeared to reveal her feet had transformed into purple talons over black tights. Her shirt and arms glowed as they transformed as well.

When the glow cleared, her shirt was replaced by a purple corset top that criss crossed in the middle with a black off the shoulder blouse underneath. She had long black gloves that reached to the top of her arms and had a split underneath that reached to the end, allowing her purple feathers to come through. The feathers were long and wing like and ran to the length of her knees. Over her corset, she wore a V front black and purple overskirt that was made of iridescent feathers.

The top of her head glowed, before a purple headwear with black gems and a beak attached to it appeared over her head. Finally, a purple eye bird design mask with black polarized lens covering her eyes, appeared on her face. Lulu, now Purple Night, opened her eyes with a wide smile on her face, before she spread her arms out to the side. Her arms then transformed into primary wings with her Duel Disk attached to her left wing. Purple Night then started flapping her wings as she flew into the air, before purple energy covered her as she entered LINK VRAINS, before it covered her completely as she disappeared.

(Meanwhile in LINK VRAINS)

Back in LINK VRAINS, Green Witch, Lunalight Dancer and Pink Dragon Mask were sitting down on the edges of the rooftop, all three of them deep in a conversation. They were holding their left arms in front of them, allowing their Ignis partners to be part of the conversation as Pink Dragon Mask, Lunalight Dancer and Carla told Green Witch, Wendy and Velvet about what's happened to them in their time here in this world.

"…And that's how Ash defeated that Red Knight guy". Lunalight Dancer told Green Witch with a smirk on her face and her right leg over her left leg. Green Witch's eyes were wide at hearing the intense Duels between her beloved and Red Knight, having never thought there were monsters called 'Dragon Knight'. "Man, that sounded intense alright. What happened next?" The green haired girl questioned in an excited tone as she wanted to hear more.

Instead of Lunalight Dancer answering, it was Pink Dragon Mask. "After that, Playmaker defeated Varis with an awesome combo. Azure and Ai tried to eat both Varis and Red Knight, but someone interfered. They did manage to get the data that they stole and Varis even gave the anti-virus". The young 7-year-old girl told the older female with a bright smile, getting Wendy to narrow her eye in a frown. "So, the leader of the Hanoi is actually a man of his word, huh?" The Witch Ignis remarked, though she sounded like she didn't believe Pink Dragon Mask's words.

"I know it's hard to believe Wendy, but Varis kept his word and because of that, Blue Angel was saved". Carla told her friend, emerging from her partner's Duel Disk and leaned towards Green Witch's Duel Disk. Wendy closed her eye and sighed, before she reopened her eye and looked at her friend. "I'm at least glad that she was saved by that virus. Hopefully the Hanoi doesn't try something like that again". Wendy said to her friend, afraid of them installing another virus into someone.

Velvet, who had silently been listening in, decided to ask her new partner something. However, before she could have the chance, someone landed a few feet behind them, getting everyone to turn around and saw that it was Purple Night. The purple haired girl's wings transformed back into her hands with her Duel Disk still on her left forearm.

"I got your message, Lunalight Dancer. Where's the-". Purple Night began as she looked at the three females, only to stop when she saw Green Witch, who smiled happily at seeing her. "Ahh, Lulu!" Green Witch exclaimed in joy to see Purple Night, getting the purple haired female to smile brightly as she recognized that voice. "I can't believe it! Rin!" Purple Night called out in joy as she ran towards Green Witch, who ran towards her as well. The two sisters soon embraced each other in a hug, happy to see each other again.

The hug lasted for a whole minute, before the two females pulled away and looked into each other's eyes. "When did you get here in this world?" Purple Night asked her sister with a bright smile, keeping her hands on Green Witch's shoulders. "Not too long ago. Wendy has helped me figure things out here in this world, including this awesome virtual reality". Green Witch answered the purple haired female, looking down at her left forearm where her Duel Disk and Wendy were.

"So, now you have a partner just like us, huh Wendy?" Raven said as her partner lifted her left hand from Green Witch's waist and held it in front of her. "Yup. And I have to say, I like her style". The Witch Ignis replied to the Bird Ignis, turning to look at her partner and giving her a happy look, one that Green Witch returned. Wendy then returned her attention to Raven and gave her mischievous look. "But we're not the only new members that ran into Carla and her partner". The Witch Ignis told her friend, getting the Bird Ignis and Purple Night to frown in confusion at her words. The only ones who knew what Wendy meant were Green Witch, Pink Dragon Mask, Lunalight Dancer and Carla as they all had mischievous looks.

Lunalight placed her right hand on Pink Dragon Mask's back, before she began lightly pushing her towards Purple Night. The 7-year-old knew what her mother wanted to do, so she walked forward towards Purple Night, getting the 16-year-old's attention as she looked at her daughter. Pink Dragon Mask gave her mother a smile, before she held her left hand out, showing her Duel Disk with Velvet opening her eye. "Hi there". The Child Ignis greeted Purple Night, making both her and Raven widen their eyes as the Bird Ignis instantly recognized that voice.

"Velvet!" Raven exclaimed as she instantly emerged from her partner's Duel Disk and looked at Velvet's eye, which the Child Ignis turned her attention to her mother. "…Hi mum". The Child Ignis greeted her mother, getting Purple Night to widen her eyes in surprise at what Velvet called her partner. "Mum!?" Purple Night called out in shock at what the Child Ignis called her partner.

Raven had tears in her eyes at seeing her daughter in front of her, safe and sound. "My daughter, thank goodness that you're unharmed". The Bird Ignis said in relief as she stretched out towards Pink Dragon Mask's Duel Disk to get closer to her daughter. Velvet looked just as relieved as her mother, her eye changing into a soft gaze. "And I'm happy to see you to, mum". The Child Ignis told her mother in a gentle tone, making Raven cry tears of joy as she leaned down and hugged the Duel Disk where her daughter was.

Everyone watched both mother and daughter with smiles on their faces as they reunited. Soon after a minute or two, Raven pulled away and retracted to her partner's Duel Disk. "Purple Night, allow me to introduce you to my daughter, Velvet. Velvet, this is my new partner, Purple Night". The Bird Ignis introduced her daughter to her partner, getting Velvet to look up at Purple Night as she waved her right hand at the Child Ignis.

"Hello there. It's nice to meet you, little one". Purple Night greeted Velvet with a gentle smile, which eased the tension that the child Ignis was experiencing. "It's very nice to meet you as well". Velvet greeted her mother's partner with a gentle gaze, before she turned to look back at her mother. "Mum, will I see dad again soon?" Velvet questioned her mother with a pleading look, desperately wanting to see her father again after so long.

Before the Bird Ignis had the chance to answer her daughter, a familiar voice to Pink Dragon Mask and Purple Night interrupted the group's discussion. "Well well, this is a surprise. I wasn't expecting to run into Playmaker and White Dragon Mask's new flunkies". A male voice said in a confident tone, getting everyone's attention while the Ignis immediately retracted into their partners' Duel Disks.

The 4 females turned around and saw someone land not too far away from them on the rooftop. To Purple Night and Pink Dragon Mask's surprise, it was George Gore, who had a smirk on his face at the moment. "You're… George Gore!" Purple Night exclaimed in surprise to see the Celebrity Duelist, who had disappeared from LINK VRAINS ever since after his Duel with White Dragon Mask.

"Purple Night, nice to see you again. Although the first time we met, I wouldn't call it an official meeting since you blew me off with that fansy wind trick of yours". The Celebrity Duelist greeted the purple haired female as he walked up to the group, before stopping in front of Purple Night, who smiled nervously as she remembered how she first met The Gore clearly.

"Hehe, sorry about that". The teenage girl apologized with her hands clapped behind her, before she grew a normal smile and leaned a bit towards the Celebrity Duelist. "How about I properly introduce myself this time? My name is Purple Night". Purple Night introduced herself with a smile, gesturing to herself with her right hand, before she gestured over to Pink Dragon Mask on her right side. "This is my daughter, Pink Dragon Mask". The teenage girl introduced her smiling daughter to the Celebrity Duelist, much to Gore's slight surprise.

Purple Night then gestured to Lunalight Dancer and Green Witch, who were standing next to each other a few steps behind Pink Dragon Mask. "These are my friends, Lunalight Dancer and Green Witch". The purple haired female finished the introductions, getting Gore to look at the two females and saw that they were sizing him up. 'He looks physically strong, plus he looks like he's got a bit of brain power in those muscles of his. Looks like this guy isn't the typical muscle type'. Green Witch thought to herself as she looked up at Gore's face, being able to tell that the Celebrity Duelist wasn't just muscles, but brains as well.

"I've heard about Lunalight Dancer, but not about Pink Dragon Mask and Green Witch". The Celebrity Duelist said with narrowed eyes, breaking Green Witch from her thoughts as she looked up at him. "That's because they just logged into LINK VRAINS for the first time today. This is their first time here, so it's to be expected that you don't know them". Lunalight told Gore with her arms crossed, getting him to turn his attention from Green Witch over to her. "Is that right?" The adult man questioned with a raised eyebrow, which the indigo haired girl nodded to him.

The Celebrity Duelist then returned his attention to Green Witch, staring at her for a moment before he shifted his attention to Pink Dragon Mask and saw her smiling at him. Gore returned the smile to the child, taking in some delight that she looked happy to see him, before he finally looked back at Purple Night and gave her a grin. "Looks like Playmaker's team just got bigger and stronger. These two and Lunalight Dancer have got the looks of experienced Duelists". The Celebrity Duelist told the purple haired girl, making her and the three other females smile at his words.

"Hey, thanks big guy". Green Witch thanked The Gore as she placed her right hand on her hip. "So, what happened to you Gore? You haven't been to LINK VRAINS for 2 weeks now and no one's seen you. What happened?" Purple Night questioned the Celebrity Duelist, wanting to know what he's been up to since his Duel against Playmaker and White Dragon Mask.

The adult man gave another grin as he crossed his arms in front of his chest. "I've been busy getting stronger. Since my duel against White Dragon Mask, I've stopped coming to LINK VRAINS in order to train. I've been training both my mind and body, even been watching recordings of Playmaker and White Dragon Mask to figure out their strategies and work on ways to counter them". Gore told not only Purple Night, but the other three females about his training for his rematch against Playmaker and White Dragon Mask, getting Purple Night and Pink Dragon Mask to widen their eyes in realization, while Lunalight Dancer and Green Witch looked at each other.

"I've made some progress and even added some new cards to my deck". The Celebrity Duelist added as he looked down at his Duel Disk on his left forearm. "That sounds exciting to hear. Since you're here in LINK VRAINS, does that mean you finished your training?" Pink Dragon Mask questioned with an excited smile on her face, getting pretty excited at hearing Gore had new cards in his deck. The Celebrity Duelist turned his attention to the young female and shook his head with a smile, giving his answer.

"Not yet, kiddo. I've still got a lot more training to do. I've only came back here to LINK VRAINS for the Fan Appreciation Day". Gore answered the little 7-year-old girl, getting her, Lunalight Dancer, Green Witch and Purple Night to tilt their heads in confusion. "Fan Appreciation Day? Mind giving us an explanation?" Lunalight Dancer requested with her arms crossed, thinking she might have an idea what's this 'Fan Appreciation Day' is about. She wasn't the only one curious; Carla had her eye open to listen in on the conversation, but kept silent to avoid unwanted attention.

Gore turned to look at the indigo haired girl, before he turned around and took a few steps away from the four females. "Fan Appreciation Day is where Celebrity Duelists challenge or accept challenges from people wanting to Duel them. Their Duels are broadcasted to the real world for the fans to watch. I decided to use this Fan Appreciation Day to test my new cards out and try out some new combos". The Celebrity Duelist told the four masked Duelists about Fan Appreciation Day and what its purposes were.

The four girls nodded, now understanding what Fan Appreciation Day was about and how it worked. They actually compared it to the Fan Appreciation Day that take place back in their homes, like where Yusho picked a specific someone to Duel in the stadium in front of a crowd of people. "I like where this is going". The Lunalight Duelist remarked with a smirk, seeing the Fan Appreciation Day as a way to learn the Celebrity Duelists' strategies and what kind of cards they used.

Pink Dragon Mask had an excited smile on her face at learning about the Fan Appreciation Day, but her thoughts changed to one particular Celebrity Duelist, Blue Angel. "Is… is Blue Angel gonna participate in this Fan Appreciation Day event?" The wielder of the Three Sacred Beasts asked in a concerned tone, wondering if the second ranking Celebrity Duelist was gonna take part of the Fan Appreciation Day after what happened to her recently.

Gore looked up at the sky for a moment, before he looked over his right shoulder. "I'm pretty sure she will. Or else her fame's gonna go down the drain". The adult male answered the 7-year-old girl, making Pink Dragon Mask frown in concern. For as long as she's been here in this world, she's been a big fan of Blue Angel. Something about her just made Pink Dragon Mask like her instantly. She even had a secret desire with the female Celebrity Duelist.

Not paying attention to Pink Dragon Mask's concerned face; Gore turned his attention towards Purple Night, who was looking at her daughter in concern, along with Lunalight Dancer and Green Witch. "Now to cut to the chase". The Celebrity Duelist said in a sharp tone, getting everyone's attention as they looked at him. Gore then pointed at Purple Night with his right hand's index finger. "Purple Night, I challenge you to a Speed Duel!" The Celebrity Duelist declared, much to everyone's surprise with Purple Night and Raven widening their eyes in surprise.

"H-Hold up! Why do you want to Duel me?" The purple haired teenage girl questioned the Celebrity Duelist in surprise as she brought her hands in front of herself. Gore lowered his right hand, before he looked back up at the sky. "To be ready for my rematch against Playmaker and White Dragon Mask, I need to battle and win against worthy and powerful opponents. I can't just Duel anyone I know I can beat, I need to face someone that can defeat me. That's why I've chosen to face you, Playmaker and White Dragon Mask's ally". Gore explained his reasons to the purple haired female, tilting his head back down to face Purple Night.

The girls were silent as they all thought about Gore's reasons for wanting to Duel Purple Night for a few moments, before said girl stepped forward and smiled at the Celebrity Duelist. "In that case, I accept your challenge!" The female masked Duelist called out, making The Gore smirk in excitement at her accepting his challenge.

Purple Night turned to look over her right shoulder towards Pink Dragon Mask, Lunalight Dancer and Green Witch. "You guys sit back and enjoy the show. And while you're at it, plan things out for later on so that we can meet up in the real world". The purple haired female told the three, receiving nods from both Lunalight Dancer and Green Witch, while Pink Dragon Mask stayed silent as she looked down in thought.

Purple Night returned her attention to the Celebrity Duelist and gave him a grin. "Follow me". The teenage female told the adult male, before she back jumped into the air. While in midair, Purple Night's D-Board appeared below her and enabled her to land on it. Safely on board her D-Board, Purple Night rode it into the Data Storm wind, standing in the left sideways position with her left talon in front and left hand out. Her feathers blew in the breeze as Purple Night surfed through the wind on her D-Board.

"You sure this is alright? I don't think Yusaku and the others are gonna be happy about this". Raven said to her partner, emerging from the Duel Disk's screen. "Don't worry. It's just a harmless Duel with nothing to worry about. Besides, I want to Duel the man that forced White Dragon Mask to use one of his best cards". Purple Night replied to her Ignis partner, giving her an eager smile before she looked over her left shoulder to see Gore already hot on her tail on his D-Board.

"Well okay, have fun then". The Bird Ignis said to her partner, before she knelt down to her knees and made herself comfortable. "Oh I intend to". The masked Duelist said with a smile as she looked forward. Both Purple Night and Gore's Duel Disks activated, while the two of them smirked in confidence. "Let's Speed Duel!" Purple Night and Gore called out in synch, beginning the Speed Duel.

Purple Night Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 4.

Gore Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 4.

Back on the rooftop, Lunalight Dancer and Green Witch walked towards the edge of the rooftop to watch the Duel. The two females held their left arms up, allowing Carla and Wendy to watch the Duel. Pink Dragon Mask on the other hand, stayed where she was and was still deep in thought. Velvet looked at her new partner in concern, wondering what she was thinking about. She was about to ask the 7-year-old girl what was wrong, but then the two heard two different voices shout out 'Speed Duel', getting the attention of both of them.

Pink Dragon Mask turned around and walked to the edge of the rooftop on the other side, before she looked over it. To her surprise and joy, she saw Blue Angel riding her D-Board in a Speed Duel against a teenage male. "It's Blue Angel!" The 7-year-old girl exclaimed in joy at seeing LINK VRAINS' idol back on her feet and Dueling. "Looks like she made a quick recovery". The Child Ignis remarked, slightly surprise to see the female Celebrity Duelist back on her feet so soon. However, Pink Dragon Mask's face began to fell at seeing Blue Angel and her opponent ride away from view. The young girl acted without thinking, and flew after them, wanting to watch Blue Angel's Duel, leaving Lunalight Dancer and Green Witch alone with them not knowing that she left.

Back with Purple Night and Gore, the Celebrity Duelist took the first move. "I'll start us off!" Gore called out as he swiped his right hand in front of him, before 4 cards materialized in front of him. "I'll start off by Summoning Gouki Suprex!" The Celebrity Duelist called out as he thrust his right hand out, while a blue portal appeared besides him on his right and Gouki Suprex came out of it, floating besides his Duelist.

Gouki Suprex ATK Points: 1800/ Level: 4.

"When Suprex steps onto the ring, he gets to bring out one of his Gouki buddies! And I think I'll go with Gouki Riscorpio!" Gore explained his monster's special ability as another portal appeared on his left side and Riscorpio came out of it.

Gouki Riscorpio ATK Points: 2300/ Level: 5.

"An opening similar to the one he used against Playmaker. The only difference is that instead of Twistcobra, he Summoned Riscorpio". Raven commented, watching Gore's moves with calculating eyes. "You're right about that, but something tells me that he isn't done yet". Purple Night told her partner in a sharp tone, keeping her guard up and preparing for the unexpected.

"Time to mash up my circuit!" The Celebrity Duelist cried out as he held his right hand out to the sky, which the Arrowhead portal appeared above. "The Summon conditions are at least two Gouki monsters, which I have just enough for! So, I set Gouki Riscorpio and Suprex in the Link Arrows! Get to it Goukis!" Gore cried out as his two monsters flew into the link portal and entered into it, causing the Left and Bottom Link Arrows to glow red. "I Link Summon! Link-2! Gouki Jet Ogre!" Gore called out as Gouki Jet Ogre shot out of the link portal. A link circle briefly appeared around Jet Ogre with the Bottom and Left Link Arrows glowing, before disappearing with Jet Ogre flying besides his Duelist.

Gouki Jet Ogre ATK Points: 2000/ Link-2/ Link Arrows: Left and Bottom.

"And now here comes the annoying part". Raven remarked with her eyes narrowed in an annoyed manner. "For every Gouki I used, I get to add another Gouki card! And that's two!" Gore told his opponent as a cybernetic circle appeared around his Duel Disk and two cards came out, which he drew with his right hand in a dramatic fashion with the cybernetic circle disappearing.

Gore held the two cards in front of them, checking them out, before one of them disappeared and he held the other one out. "Next up I'll play Gouki Headbatt! I can Summon this card by sending a Gouki monster, like Gouki Twistcobra, to the graveyard!" The Celebrity told Purple Night his card's effect as the card disappeared and Headbat appeared on his field.

Gouki Headbatt DEF Points: 0/ Level: 2.

"Headbatt's effect also increases the ATK Points of a Gouki monster I control by 800!" Gore added with a smirk as Jet Ogre powered up a bit.

Gouki Jet Ogre ATK Points: 2000 + 800 = 2800.

"Time to mash up my circuit again!" The Celebrity Duelist cried out as he held his right hand out to the sky, which the link portal appeared above. "The Summon conditions are at least two Gouki monsters, which I have just enough for! So I set Gouki Jet Ogre and Headbatt in the Link Arrows!" Gore called out as his two Gouki monsters flew towards the link portal and entered it, causing the Bottom-Left, Bottom and Bottom-Right Link Arrows to glow.

"I Link Summon! Link-3! Gouki The Great Ogre!" Gore called out as The Great Ogre came out of the link portal with its axe in its right hand. A link circle appeared around The Great Ogre with the Bottom-Left, Bottom and Bottom-Right Link Arrows glowing red, before the link circle disappeared.

Gouki The Great Ogre ATK Points: 2600/ Link-3/ Link Arrows: Bottom-Left, Bottom, Bottom-Right.

"He brought out The Great Ogre on his first turn. I have to admit, that's impressive". Purple Night stated with a smile, impressed with how Gore brought out his ace Link-3 Monster on the first turn. "Don't be impressed yet; I've still got some tricks left! Like Headbatt's other effect! Now I get to add another Gouki card!" Gore called out a cybernetic circle appeared around his Duel Disk and a card came out, which he drew with his right hand in a dramatic fashion with the cybernetic circle disappearing.

"And I'll activate it, the Spell Gouki Poison Mist!" Gore called out as he held out his right hand, showing the card to be a Spell card before a giant version of it appeared in front of him. Gore increased his Duel Board's speed and smashed through the card, making it burst into sparkles. Gore breathed out a purple mist at Purple Night's back, making both her and Raven widen their eyes in surprise as a purple sludge appeared on the back of the masked Duelist's feathers.

Purple Night Life Points: 4000 – 700 = 3300.

"My feathers!" Purple Night exclaimed in alarm, holding her right hand in front of her so that she could look at the sludge on her feathers. "Considering what just happened, I think it's clear that Spell card deals out 700 points of damage". Raven said with a slight frown on her face, assuming what Gore's card just did. "Never mind that! Look at what he did to my feathers!" The purple haired girl said with her eyes narrowed in an annoyed manner, getting Raven to look at her partner.

"I'll set a card face down and end my turn!" The Celebrity Duelist called out as a face down card appeared in front of him.

Purple Night Life Points: 3300/ Number of cards in hand: 4.

Instead of beginning her turn, Purple Night was busy cleaning the sludge off her feathers, while Raven looked over at Gore's field. "He Link Summoned The Great Ogre, dealt 700 points of damage and placed a face down card on his first turn. Not too bad I have to say". The Bird Ignis said with a bit of an impressed look, before she looked over at her partner and saw her still cleaning her feathers.

(Real world)

"Oh boy! Check this out everybody!" The MC man called out on his microphone in an excited tone, getting passing by peoples' attention as they looked up at the screen above, which showed Purple Night and Gore's Duel. "After 2 weeks of disappearance, The Gore has returned to LINK VRAINS on The Fan Appreciation day! And his opponent is none other than the mysterious Purple Night, one of Playmaker and White Dragon Mask's allies!" MC added with an eager smile, getting the audience to smile brightly at seeing the Duel take place.

Back at the plaza inside of Kolter's van, Ash, Azure, Yusaku and Kolter were watching Purple Night and Gore's Duel on a monitor. The three humans were still sitting down on separate chairs, while Ash's Duel Disk was still on the table, allowing Azure to watch the Speed Duel. "Well, what do you know? The Gore's back in town". Kolter said with slightly wide eyes at seeing the Celebrity Duelist back in LINK VRAINS.

"I wondered what happened to him after our Duel. He just up and disappeared from the face of the planet". Ash remarked with his arms crossed, though he did sound a little glad to see Gore alright. "Who knows what he's been up to. Although it looks like he's changed his style a bit". Yusaku said with a natural expression on his face, his hands hanging a bit above the keyboard.

"Yeah, you're right Yusaku. He looks like he's battling more aggressively". Kolter said in agreement to his comrade's words, seeing that The Gore was different than last time they saw him. "But the biggest question is: Why is Purple Night dueling him?" Azure questioned with his claws crossed, having been in his complete form when the screen showed up on the screen to show the Speed Duel.

The three humans looked over to Azure, before they looked back at the screen. "Yeah, the little guy's right. Why she's Dueling him? Didn't she say that she was only logging into LINK VRAINS to check on the others?" Kolter questioned as he crossed his arms, wondering why their comrade was dueling. "Sadly, we can't answer that". Ash stated as he leaned back on his chair and held the back of his head with his hands.

"Hopefully this doesn't cause trouble for us later on. Let her Duel if she wants, let's just hope that SOL Technologies, or the Knights of Hanoi won't try something". Yusaku said with a natural expression on his face as he went back to working on the monitor. Ash and Kolter looked at each other for a moment, before they went back to work while Azure retracted into his partner's Duel Disk.

(Back in LINK VRAINS)

Purple Night breathed a sigh of relief as she finished cleaning the sludge off her feathers, before she grew an annoyed look on her face. "He's got some nerve for dirtying my wings like that. He's gonna learn that messing with a bird's feathers like that is the worst mistake someone can make! My turn!" The teenage girl cried out as a cybernetic circle appeared around her Duel Disk and a card came out, which she drew with her right hand's index and middle fingers.

Four cards appeared in front of Purple Night, before she swiped her right hand in front of her with the card floating out of her fingers and in front of her. However, before she could even start her move, Gore interrupted her. "Hold on lady, I activate the Continuous Trap Desperate Tag!" Gore called out as his thrust his right hand out as his face down card revealed itself.

"That's gonna make things troublesome". Raven commented, getting Purple Night to nod in agreement as she looked at her partner. "I know what that Trap of his does. It negates battles damage from a battle involving a monster of his and then allows him to Special Summon a Level 4 monster. But it's not gonna help him". The purple haired girl told her partner, before she looked up at the four cards in front of her.

"To start my turn off, I'll play one face-down card…!" Purple Night began as she pressed one of the five cards, causing it to disappear and a face-down card to appear in front of her. "Then I'll Special Summon Lyrilusc – Unique Columbidae!" The teenage female continued as she pressed another card, causing it to disappear before a blue portal appeared on her left and Lyrilusc – Unique Columbidae came out of it. She was a 5-year-old girl that had fair skin and violet colored eyes, wearing an amethyst colored columbidae outfit with pink talons. Her headwear had the head of a columbidae on it.

(Lyrilusc – Unique Columbidae/ Level: 1/ Attribute: Wind/ Type: Winged Beast/ Pendulum/ Effect/ ATK Points: 0/ DEF Points: 0/ Pendulum Scale: 3/ Pendulum Effect: Once per turn, select one Lyrilusc monster on your field, return it to your deck, then Special Summon a Lyrilusc monster with a different name from your hand./ Effect: If you control no monsters, you can Special Summon this card from your hand. When this card is Summoned, add one Lyrilusc Pendulum Monster from your deck to your hand.)

"She can fly onto my field if I control no monsters! And that's not all because when she's Summoned, I can add a Lyrilusc Pendulum Monster from my deck to my hand!" Purple Night explained her Pendulum Monster's special ability as 35 five cards appeared in a straight line in front of her. She waved her right hand left, searching through her deck for a moment before she found the card she wanted.

She pressed her right hand's index and middle finger on the card, causing it and the other 34 cards to disappear. Then, a single card materialized in her right hand's index and middle finger. "I pick the Pendulum Monster Lyrilusc – Cosmic Crane!" Purple Night called out as she held the card out, showing its image. The image showed a little 5-year-old girl with snow white skin and silver eyes flying in outer space. She was wearing a cosmic blue crane outfit with the wings extending past her arms and had legs like that of a crane. Finally, her headwear looked like a crane's head.

(Lyrilusc – Cosmic Crane/ Level: 1/ Attribute: Wind/ Type: Winged Beast/ Pendulum/ Effect/ Pendulum Scale: 8/ ATK Points: 300/ DEF Points: 0/ Pendulum Effect: If a Winged Beast or Wind Attribute monster would be destroyed by battle or a card effect, you can change its battle position and negate its destruction/ Effect: When this card is successfully Normal Summoned, select one Winged Beast or Wind Attribute monster in your Graveyard or hand, Special Summon it to your field, but it cannot attack or change battle positions.)

The card disappeared from her fingers, before two cards appeared in her right hand's index and middle fingers. "Birds of a feather flock together! Let me show you! If I control a Lyrilusc monster, not only can I Summon Lyrilusc – Sapphire Swallow, but another Level one Lyrilusc monster! Like Lyrilusc – Lifeforce Bluebird!" The masked Duelist called out as the two cards disappeared and two portals appeared on her left and right side.

Sapphire Swallow came out of one of them, while Lifeforce Bluebird came out the other. Lifeforce Bluebird was a 5-year-old girl with sky blue eyes and fair skin. She was wearing a sky blue bluebird outfit with glowing white feathers on the chest area. Her headwear looked like the head of a bluebird.

(Lyrilusc – Lifeforce Bluebird/ Level: 1/ Attribute: Wind/ Type: Winged Beast/ Tuner/ Effect/ ATK Points: 1000/ DEF Points: 0/ Effect: When this card is ether Normal or Special Summoned, you can select one Lyrilusc monster in your graveyard and Special Summon it to your side of the field. If this card is used as Synchro Material for a 'Lyrilusc' or Wind Attribute Synchro Monster, increase your Life Points by 1000.)

"All three of my monsters have 0 DEF Points, so Great Ogre's effect isn't really helpful for you, you know that?" Purple Night told the Celebrity Duelist with a smirk on her face, making Gore slightly grit his teeth in frustration. "Nicely done Purple Night. You've used monsters with 0 DEF Points to render Great Ogre's special ability to nothing. Way to go". Raven praised her partner with a pleased look on her face and her hands clapped together.

Purple Night smiled as she looked down at her Duel Disk to look at the Bird Ignis in a happy way. "Why thank you, Raven. But I'm not even done yet, so keep on watching". Purple Night told the Bird Ignis, winking her left eye at her partner before she faced forward again. The purple haired female held her right fist in front of her and narrowed her eyes in a confident manner.

"Level 1 Lyrilusc – Lifeforce Bluebird tunes with Level 1 Lyrilusc – Sapphire Swallow and Unique Columbidae!" Purple Night called out to the heavens as she spread her hands out to the side. The world grayed out as green energy gathered around Purple Night's Duel Board before blasting upwards into the sky. Lyrilusc – Lifeforce Bluebird, Sapphire Swallow and Unique Columbidae disintegrated into violet data that reformed into three rings made of one concentric circle. The rings turned blue and merged before reforming into three blue rings in a tower. A screen appeared that said "1 + 1 + 1" before changing to "3". Light appeared and surged through the rings.

"The sky makes way for the hummingbird that gives life and grows stronger as life grows around her! I Synchro Summon! Lyrilusc – Violet Hummingbird!" Purple Night chanted as her Synchro Monster flew out of the portal and revealed itself. It was a female adult with pale skin and purple eyes. She was wearing a violet colored hummingbird outfit, her hands were her wings and she had the tail of a hummingbird. Around her waist were violet feathers acting as an overskirt like Nightingale and finally, her headwear looked like a hummingbird's head.

(Lyrilusc – Violet Hummingbird/ Level: 3/ Attribute: Wind/ Type: Winged Beast/ Synchro/ Effect/ ATK Points: 0/ DEF Points: 0/ Requirements: 1 Lyrilusc Tuner monster + 1 or more Lyrilusc monster(s)/ Effect: Whenever you gain Life Points, this card gains ATK equal to the Life Points you gain. Once per turn: you can gain 300 Life Points for each card in your opponent's hand. If this card is destroyed by a card effect or battle, Special Summon the Lyrilusc monsters used as Synchro Material to Synchro Summon this card from your graveyard.)

"At this moment, Lifeforce Bluebird's special ability activates! See, when she's used as Synchro Material for a Lyrilusc or Wind Attribute Synchro Monster, my Life Points goes up by 1000!" The female masked Duelist explained her monster's special ability with a grin. Lifeforce Bluebird appeared, looking see through like a ghost in front of Purple Night, before she transformed into blue sparkles and surrounded the purple haired female, increasing her Life Points.

Purple Night Life Points: 3300 + 1000 = 4300.

"Now Violet Hummingbird's special ability kicks in! Whenever I gain Life Points, she gains ATK Points equal to the Life Points I gain! Since I gained 1000 Life Points, that's 1000 points for her!" Purple Night explained her Synchro Monster's special ability as the blue sparkles transferred over to Violet Hummaningbird, who let out a happy sigh as she absorbed the sparkles into herself.

Lyrilusc – Violet Hummingbird ATK Points: 0 + 1000 = 1000.

"Just like with those three little girls, this lady's got no DEF Points. I have to admit that it's impressive that Purple Night has cards in cause of scenarios like this". The Celebrity Duelist remarked with an impressed smile on his face, impressed with how his opponent was using monsters that his Great Ogre couldn't weaken.

"I'm not done yet! I activate the Spell card Lyrilusc – Song of Life!" Purple Night called out as she thrust her right hand out as a Spell card appeared in front of her. The image showed Violet Hummingbird singing a song at the injured forms of Nightingale, Burning Phoenix and Avenging Hawk with her song healing them of their injures.

(Lyrilusc – Song of Life/ Type: Spell/ Effect: Select one face-up Lyrilusc monster you control, increase your Life Points by that monster's current ATK Points. On the turn that you activate this card, your opponent takes no damage.)

Violet Hummingbird began singing a beautiful song with her eyes closed and her hands clapped together. "Just as the name says, one of my Lyrilusc monsters sings a song that'll refill my life. Lyrilusc – Song of Life increases my Life Points by one of my Lyrilusc monster's current ATK Points!" The purple haired female explained her Spell's effect as a violet colored aura covered her and increased her Life Points.

Purple Night Life Points: 4300 + 1000 = 5300.

"And just like before, Violet Hummingbird's ATK Points go up!" The female masked Duelist reminded her opponent as a violet aura covered Violet Hummingbird, increasing her ATK Points.

Lyrilusc – Violet Hummingbird ATK Points: 1000 + 1000 = 2000.

"This is becoming a problem". Gore remarked with his eyes slightly narrowed, seeing that Purple Night gaining Life Points was a problem. "Oh, you have no idea. But I'm still not done yet! I now activate Violet Hummingbird's special ability!" Purple Night called out with a wide smirk on her face. Violet Hummingbird got rid of her aura and turned around to face Gore. The Celebrity Duelist's last card appeared in front of him, before a giant flower appeared from it, making Gore widen his eyes in surprise.

Violet Hummingbird flew towards the flower and began drinking its nectar, her hands being placed at the sides of the flower to get a better grip on it. "Once a turn, Violet Hummingbird can suck out 300 points from every card in your hand and give it to me!" Purple Night explained her Synchro Monster's special ability as the flower disappeared and Violet Hummingbird returned to her mistress' side.

Purple Night Life Points: 5300 + 300 = 5600.

Lyrilusc – Violet Hummingbird ATK Points: 2000 + 300 = 2300.

"You might need a calculator. Despite all those power ups, your monster still doesn't have enough ATK Points to take out The Great Ogre!" Gore exclaimed with a confident grin on his face as his Duel Board went faster than before and passed the teenage girl, but she just kept smiling. "Maybe not now, but she'll have enough ATK Points soon! For now, I'll end my turn!" Purple Night declared her turn over, having nothing left to do.

Gore Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 1.

"There won't be a 'soon' for that troublesome monster! I draw!" Gore called out as a cybernetic circle appeared around his Duel Disk and a card slotted out, which he drew with his right hand's index and middle fingers. He took a moment to look at it for a moment, before holding the card out. "I Summon Gouki Twistcobra!" The Celebrity Duelist called out as Gouki Twistcobra appeared on his field.

Gouki Twistcobra ATK Points: 1600/ Level: 3.

"That's just the beginning! Now I activate the Spell card, Gouki Re-Match!" The Celebrity Duelist called out as the Spell card materialized in his right hand's index and middle fingers, before he held the card out. "This Spell brings back two different Level Gouki monsters from my graveyard in DEF Position! Come on back Suprex and Riscorpio!" Gore called out as two portals appeared in front of him and both Suprex and Riscorpio came out of them.

Gouki Suprex DEF Points: 0/ Level: 4.

Gouki Riscorpio DEF Points: 0/ Level: 5.

"The thing is, Riscorpio won't be sticking around for long. By using Twistcobra's effect and releasing Riscorpio, his ATK Points are added to The Great Ogre!" Gore told his opponent as Riscorpio turned into sparkles and was absorbed into The Great Ogre, increasing his ATK Points.

Gouki The Great Ogre ATK Points: 2600 + 2300 = 4900.

"And since Riscorpio was sent from the field to the graveyard, I can add another Gouki card from my deck to my hand!" Gore called out as a cybernetic circle appeared around his Duel Disk and a card came out, which he drew with his right hand in a dramatic fashion with the cybernetic circle disappearing.

"Time to mash up my circuit!" The Celebrity Duelist cried out as he held his right hand out to the sky, which the link portal appeared above. "The Summon conditions are at least two Gouki monsters, which I have just enough for! So I set Gouki Suprex and Twistcobra in the Link Arrows! Get to it Goukis!" Gore cried out as his two monsters flew into the link portal and entered into it, causing the Top and Bottom Link Arrows to glow red. "I Link Summon! Link-2! Gouki Heel Ogre!" Gore called out as Gouki Heel Ogre shot out of the link portal, taking the middle zone where The Great Ogre's Bottom-Left pointed to. A link circle briefly appeared around Heel Ogre with the Top and Bottom Link Arrows glowing, before disappearing with Heel Ogre floating besides The Great Ogre.

Gouki Heel Ogre ATK Points: 1000/ Link-2/ Link Arrows: Top and Bottom.

"Just like with Riscorpio, Twistcobra and Suprex lets me add two new Gouki cards from my deck to my hand". Gore reminded his opponent as a cybernetic circle appeared around his Duel Disk and two cards came out, which he drew with his right hand in a dramatic fashion with the cybernetic circle disappearing.

The two cards in Gore's hand disappeared, before the Celebrity Duelist swiped his right hand in front of him with three cards appearing in front of him. Gore smirked with his eyes focused on the middle card, something that Raven took notice of. "I don't like that look in his eye". The Bird Ignis told her partner, getting Purple Night to shift her attention from her opponent to Raven.

"That's the look of someone that's about to finish their opponent off. Let's see what he's got planned for little old us". The purple haired female said with a confident grin on his face, getting her partner to look a bit pleased with her answer. "I can tell that you're having fun. Just don't lose control of yourself over the excitement, or else you'll make a rookie mistake". Raven told her partner with a gentle tone, before she went back to watching The Gore make his move.

"I activate the Spell card, Gouki Finisher!" Gore called out as he pressed his right fist against the middle card, causing it to disappear. A spell card appeared in front of Gore, before a link circle appeared around Gouki Heel Ogre with the Top and Bottom Link Arrows glowing. "This is where it ends for you, Purple Night! Gouki Finisher increases the ATK Points of a Gouki Link Monster by 1000 x its Link! Since Heel Ogre is a Link-2, that's 2000 ATK Points for him!" The Celebrity Duelist explained his Spell card's effect with a confident grin on his face, turning to look at Heel Ogre as it powered up.

Gouki Heel Ogre ATK Points: 1000 + 2000 = 3000.

"3000 ATK Points, huh?" Purple Night remarked in slight awe, looking up at the super powered Link-2 Monster with calculating eyes. "I'm impressed that a human created a formation like this given how much Life Points you have". Raven stated, impressed with how Gore set his field up and now has the advantage. The Bird Ignis then emerged from the Duel Disk and looked up at her partner with her arms crossed.

"You have 5600 Life Points currently. If Great Ogre battles Violet Hummingbird, that'll deal 2600 points of damage, reducing your Life Points to 3000. Then, if Heel Ogre successfully lands a hit, that'll be it for you. The Gore has truly earned his place at the number 1 Celebrity Duelist of LINK VRAINS". Raven explained to her partner about Gore's field and how he set it up to finish her off in one turn, getting Purple Night to look at her partner in shock with wide eyes.

"Incredible. To set this all up to deal just the right amount of damage to defeat me in one turn. I'm starting to see how he managed to fire up Yusaku and Ash". Purple Night said as she grew a smile and looked up at her opponent. "Alright Great Ogre…!" Gore began as he shifted his Duel Board sideways to look at his opponent and thrust his right hand out to her.

"Attack Lyrilusc – Violet Hummingbird!" The adult man finished, which his Link Monster obeyed its master. The Great Ogre turned around and charged at Violet Hummingbird, holding his axe up, before he swung it down on Violet Hummingbird once he was close enough. An explosion was created upon making impact and covered the two monsters from view.

---

(Back in the real world)

"Ohh boy! The Great Ogre has landed a solid hit and now both it and Purple Night's Violet Hummingbird cannot be seen! What happened to them!? Did the hummingbird get destroyed, or did she make a comeback!?" The MC called out to the crowd of people, who were watching with excited expressions on their faces as they waited to see what happened to the two monsters.

Back inside Kolter's van, the adult man was looking at the screen that showed the Duel, before he turned to look at Ash and Yusaku. "Doesn't look like she's doing too good out there". The purple haired man said to the two teenagers, getting Ash's attention as he stopped tapping buttons on the keyboard and turned to look at him.

"Don't count your chickens until they hatch. The Duel isn't decided until someone's out of Life Points". The White Dragon Emperor told the adult man, before he went back to work on hacking onto the net and deleting all footage of him and Yusaku in their LINK VRAINS avatars. "Ash is right. Save your comments until we know for certain that Lulu lost". Yusaku commented, his eyes still clued on the screen in front of him.

Kolter looked at the two teenagers for a moment before he looked down at Azure, but he saw his eye was closed. The adult man then shrugged, before he went back to work himself.

---

(Back in LINK VRAINS)

Gore waited patiently for the smoke to clear to reveal Violet Hummingbird was destroyed from Great Ogre's attack and leaving Purple Night vulnerable for a direct attack from Heel Ogre. However, the smoke cleared to reveal something that he wasn't expecting to see. The Great Ogre's axe had not struck Violet Hummingbird, but a barrier made out of wind in front of the Synchro Monster.

"What the heck!?" The Celebrity Duelist called out in surprise at seeing Great Ogre's attack blocked by a barrier made out of wind. Purple Night, who was behind Violet Hummingbird on her D-Board, gave a wink with her right eye. "You forgot about my face down card. Allow me to introduce the Quick-Play Spell card; Lyrilusc – Gale Force Defense!" Purple Night called out, holding her left hand out as her face down card flipped itself over. It was a Spell card with the image showing Nightingale using the wind to form a barrier around herself, Cobalt Sparrow and Loving Owl.

(Lyrilusc – Gale Force Defense/ Type: Quick-Play Spell/ Effect: For the rest of this turn, Lyrilusc monsters you control are unaffected by your opponents' card effects and cannot be destroyed in battle.)

"Your whole plan is put on hold because my Spell card keeps my Lyrilusc monsters from being destroyed for the rest of this turn!" The teenage girl explained her Quick-Play Spell's effect as the wind barrier pushed The Great Ogre away from Violet Hummingbird. "But the same can't be said about the damage". The masked Duelist added as a red aura covered her with her Life Points dropping. (4900 – 2300 = 2600)

Purple Night Life Points: 5600 – 2600 = 3000.

Gore gritted his teeth in anger at seeing his attack fail, but he then thrust his right fist out. "My turn isn't over yet! Heel Ogre, let that hummingbird have it!" The Celebrity Duelist commanded his Link Monster. Heel Ogre gave out a battle cry, before it spun its staff around in its hands, then striking the wind barrier. Like with Great Ogre, the barrier withstood Heel Ogre and pushed him back, returning the Link Monster to Gore's side. (3000 – 2300 = 700)

Purple Night Life Points: 3000 – 700 = 2300.

"I end my turn here and at this moment, both Gouki Finisher and Twistcobra's effects are over. Not to mention, both Heel Ogre and Great Ogre's ATK Points return to normal as well!" Gore declared his turn over, before a link circle around Heel Ogre disappeared and the wind barrier dissolved.

Gouki Heel Ogre ATK Points: 3000 – 2000 = 1000.

Gouki The Great Ogre ATK Points: 4900 – 2300 = 2600.

Purple Night Life Points: 2300/ Number of cards in hand: 2.

"It's go time! My move!" Purple Night called out as a cybernetic circle appeared around her Duel Disk and a card came out, which she drew in a dramatic fashion with her right hand's index, middle and thumb fingers with the circle disappearing. The card she drew disappeared, before it was replaced by another card and Purple Night held it out, revealing it to be Lyrilusc – Cosmic Crane. "Lyrilusc – Cosmic Crane, your time to shine!" Purple Night called out as the card disappeared, before Coscmic Crane appeared in front of her, singing a peaceful song.

Lyrilusc – Cosmic Crane ATK Points: 300/ Level: 1.

"Now Cosmic Crane's special ability now activates! When this card is successfully Normal Summoned, a Winged Beast or Wind Attribute monster in the Graveyard can spread her wings and take flight once more!" Raven called out from her sitting down position on the Duel Disk's sphere, explaining her partner's Pendulum Monster's effect. "That's right, and Lifeforce Bluebird is the lucky one!" Purple Night called out with a smile, watching as Cosmic Crane spread her wings out and released a galaxy blue colored veil from them. The veil spread out forward, before Lyrilusc – Lifeforce Bluebird magically appeared from within it, singing a peaceful song.

Lyrilusc – Lifeforce Bluebird ATK Points: 1000/ Level: 1.

Lyrilusc – Violet Hummingbird, Lifeforce Bluebird and Cosmic Crane all flew in front of their mistress, side by side. Gore looked over his shoulder to look at the three monsters and narrowed his eyes at them. "So, you got your Tuner monster back. Hate to break it to you, but without a Link Monster, or a free Extra Deck Monster Zone, you can't Summon something else from the Extra Deck". Gore told his opponent, before he looked down at his Duel Disk's screen as it changed to show the field.

On his side of the field, Gouki The Great Ogre had taken his right side Extra Deck Monster Zone, while Gouki Heel Ogre was in the zone that Great Ogre's Bottom-Left Link Arrow pointed to. On Purple Night's side of the field, Lyrilusc – Violet Hummingbird had taken her right side Extra Deck Monster Zone. Lyrilusc – Lifeforce Bluebird was in the far right side and Cosmic Crane was in the middle Monster Zone. Gore grinned at seeing the field on his Duel Disk, before he looked over his left shoulder to look at Purple Night.

"Both Extra Deck Monster Zones have been filled and your monster isn't a Link Monster. In other words, you can't Summon another monster from the Extra Deck". The Celebrity Duelist said in a carefree tone, before he lost it when he saw Purple Night was smirking at him. "Well it's a good thing that I have something I call an 'insurance policy' for something like this!" The masked Duelist exclaimed with a grin, before she looked down at her Duel Disk to look at Raven, who was still in her complete form and was still sitting down.

"Is it ready for a test drive?" The teenage female questioned her partner in a sharp tone, getting Raven's attention as the Bird Ignis looked up at her partner and nodded. "It's ready. I just finished it a few minutes ago. All it needs now is a test run". Raven answered her partner with a cheerful expression on her face, getting Purple Night to lightly smile.

Purple Night returned her attention to Gore, before she lifted her right hand into the air and held it up. "I activate my new Skill: Zone Shift!" The purple haired girl called out as her feathers began glowing brightly and a bright purple sphere appeared above her right hand.

(Zone Shift/ Type: Skill/ Effect: Select one face up monster you control, move it to an unused Main Monster Zone on your field.)

"This Skill enables me to move one of my monsters to one of my unused Main Monster Zones!" Purple Night explained her Skill's effect with a wide smile, making Gore widen his eyes in surprise, before he looked down at his Duel Disk's screen. He saw Lyrilusc – Violet Hummingbird's card move from Purple Night's right side Extra Deck Monster Zone to the left Main Monster Zone.

"With this, one of the Extra Deck Monster Zones is free to use". Raven commented with a pleased expression on her face, very pleased that the Skill she created worked magnificently. Purple Night nodded with a smile on her face, before she held her right hand out as a card appeared in front of her hand. "Now I'll play the Sacred Winds Spell card!" Purple Night called out as the card in front of her hand disappeared and Sacred Wind's card appeared on her field.

"For every WIND Attribute monster I control, I can draw another card from my deck! Since I currently have 3 monsters, that's 3 more cards to draw!" The purple haired girl explained her Spell card's effect, before a cybernetic circle appeared around her Duel Disk and three cards came out. Purple Night drew the three cards with her right hand in a dramatic fashion with the cybernetic circle disappearing around her Duel Disk.

The three cards in her right hand disappeared and were replaced by a single card, which Purple Night held up to show her opponent. "I now activate the effect of Lyrilusc – Giving Swan in my hand!" Purple Night called out as the card disappeared and a teenage girl wearing a white swan outfit appeared. Her hands were her wings and her headwear looked like the head of a swan. She had albino skin, silvery white hair that came out of her headwear and silver eyes.

(Lyrilusc - Giving Swan/ Level: 3/ Attribute: Wind/ Type: Winged Beast/ Effect/ ATK Points: 0/ DEF Points: 0/ Effect: Once per turn, you can discard this card from your hand and all Winged Beast monsters on the field's Levels increase by 3.)

"By discarding this card from my hand, all Winged Beast monsters I control have their Levels increased by 3!" The teenage girl called out as Giving Swan held her wing filled hands out with white sparkles raining down on Violet Hummingbird, Lifeforce Bluebird and Cosmic Crane. A white aura surrounded the three monsters, increasing their levels.

Lyrilusc – Violet Hummingbird Level: 3 + 3 = 6.

Lyrilusc – Cosmic Crane Level: 1 + 3 = 4.

Lyrilusc – Lifeforce Bluebird Level: 1 + 3 = 4.

"The stage is all set now". Raven remarked with what appeared to be a smiling expression on her face. Purple Night gave a nod towards her partner, before she looked up at the sky and held her right hand up to it once more. "Level 4 Lyrilusc – Lifeforce Bluebird tunes with Level 4 Lyrilusc – Cosmic Crane!" Purple Night called out to the heavens as she swiped both her hands out to the sides.

The world grayed out as green energy gathered around Purple Night's Duel Board before blasting upwards into the sky. Lyrilusc – Lifeforce Bluebird and Cosmic Crane disintegrated into bright red data that reformed into two rings made of four concentric circles. The rings turned blue and merged before reforming into eight blue rings in a tower. A screen appeared that said "4 + 4" before changing to "8". A light appeared and surged through the rings.

"Let your burning spirit of never giving up burn hotter on this battlefield! I Synchro Summon! Level 8! Lyrilusc – Burning Phoenix!" Purple Night cried out as her new monster flew out of the bright light. It was a humanoid female adult monster like Nightingale with violet eyes and snow white skin. She wore an orange red phoenix outfit with flaming wings as hands and a flaming tail that was longer than her talons. She had long red hair that seemed to be on fire under her phoenix headwear that seemed to be constantly blowing in a breeze and a red overskirt that was made of flames. Lyrilusc – Burning Phoenix gave out a powerful cry as she spread her wings and took flight into the sky.

(Lyrilusc – Burning Phoenix/ Level: 8/ Attribute: Wind/ Type: Winged Beast/ Synchro/ Effect/ ATK Points: 3000/ DEF Points: 3000/ Effect: If this card is destroyed by battle, Special Summon this card on your next Standby Phase. If you Special Summon this card this way, destroy all monsters your opponent controls and for each one, you can Special Summon as many Lyrilusc monsters from your Mraveyard.)

"Finally a monster with some DEF Points! The Great Ogre's special ability now activates, and your phoenix loses ATK Points equal to its DEF Points!" Gore called out with a grin on his face, pleased that Purple Night had finally Summon something that his monster could use its effect against. The Great Ogre released a sound wave attack at Burning Phoenix, making her slightly grit her teeth as her energy weaken dramatically.

Lyrilusc – Burning Phoenix ATK Points: 3000 – 3000 = 0.

"You're not the only one with special abilities! Since Lifeforce Bluebird was used as Synchro Material for a WIND Synchro Monster, I gain another 1000 points!" Purple Night reminded her opponent as Lifeforce Bluebird appeared, looking see through like a ghost in front of her, before she transformed into blue sparkles and surrounded the purple haired female.

Purple Night Life Points: 2300 + 1000 = 3300.

"And in case you have memory lost, Violet Hummingbird's ATK Points by the same number of points that my Life Points just went up! Since I regained 1000 Life Points, that's 1000 ATK Points for her!" The female masked Duelist reminded her opponent as the blue sparkles flew towards Violet Hummingbird and were absorbed by the Winged Beast monster.

Lyrilusc – Violet Hummingbird ATK Points: 2300 + 1000 = 3300.

"Nicely done Purple Night. Now Violet Hummingbird's ATK Points are greater than The Great Ogre's ATK Points!" Raven praised her partner in a pleased tone, starting to see things go Purple Night's way. The purple haired girl winked at her partner with her left eye. "I'm not done yet, so enjoy the show". Purple Night told her partner with a grin, before she looked forward at Gore.

"I now activate Violet Hummingbird's special ability!" Purple Night called out with a wide smirk on her face. Violet Hummingbird got rid of her aura and opened her eyes to look at Gore. The Celebrity Duelist's two cards appeared in front of him, before two giant flowers appeared from them.

Violet Hummingbird flew towards the flowers and began drinking its nectar, her hands being placed at the sides of the flowers to get a better grip on them as she drank one at a time. "Once a turn, Violet Hummingbird can suck out 300 points from every card in your hand and give it to me!" Purple Night explained her Synchro Monster's special ability as the flower disappeared and Violet Hummingbird returned to her mistress' side.

Purple Night Life Points: 3300 + 600 = 3900.

Lyrilusc – Violet Hummingbird ATK Points: 3300 + 600 = 3900.

The purple haired girl then swiped her right hand in front of her, causing her three remaining cards in her hand to appear in front of her. Purple Night looked through all three cards, before her eyes stopped at the card on the left, making her grin at seeing what it was. She pressed her right hand's index finger against the card, causing it to disappear. "Get ready for some harsh weather, because Heavy Storm is coming your way!" Purple Night called out with a smirk as Heavy Storm's card appeared in front of her, before a twister came out.

"Heavy Storm destroys all Spell and Trap cards on the field! So say goodbye to Desperate Tag!" Purple Night explained her partner's Spell card, watching as the twister flew towards Desperate Tag's card and destroyed it. "With that out of the way, there's nothing to defend his Life Points. If you can attack with both your monsters, you'll be able to reduce his Life Points to 700". The Bird Ignis remarked as she folded her arms, calculating the damage that will be done if both Purple Night's monsters landed successful attacks.

"You're right about that. Let's get to it then! First, I'll set a face-down card!" Purple Night called out as a face-down card appeared on her field in front of her. "Now Lyrilusc – Violet Hummingbird, attack Gouki The Great Ogre!" Purple Night commanded her Synchro Monster as she thrust her right hand out. Violet Hummingbird obeyed her mistress and began flying towards The Great Ogre, which the Link Monster turned around and held its axe with both his hands.

Violet Hummingbird began spinning her whole body around with her hands clapped together in front of her. Wind gathered around her, before forming a tornado that surrounded her as she grew closer to The Great Ogre, before making contact by clashing against his axe's blade. The Great Ogre attempted to deflect Violet Hummingbird's attack, but the Synchro Monster was too powerful as she tore through his axe and struck him, causing the Link Monster to explode. (3900 – 2600 = 1300)

Gore Life Points: 4000 – 1300 = 2700.

"With The Great Ogre gone, Burning Phoenix's ATK Points return to normal!" Raven called out as a fiery aura surrounded Lyrilusc – Burning Phoenix. The Synchro Monster gave out a smile as her strength returned to her.

Lyrilusc – Burning Phoenix ATK Points: 0 + 3000 = 3000.

"I think Burning Phoenix wants some payback for stealing her powers! Phoenix, roast Gouki Heel Ogre!" Purple Night commanded her Synchro Monster as she thrust her right hand out. The flames from Burning Phoenix's wings, tail and overskirt grew bigger until it completely covered her and formed a phoenix made out of fire.

The phoenix let out a fierce cry, before it flew towards Heel Ogre, which the Link Monster turned around to face the Synchro Monster. "I'm not going down just like that! I activate Gouki Diver's special ability from my hand!" Gore called out as he turned around and held his right hand out with a card appearing in front of his hand. "By banishing this card from my hand, I don't lose a single point of damage from this battle!" The Celebrity Duelist explained his card's effect as the card disappeared, before the flaming phoenix engulfed Heel Ogre in its flames and destroyed it.

Gouki Driver appeared in front of Gore, looking see through as a ghost to protect him from the shockwaves of Heel Ogre's destruction. The Gouki monster then disappeared, revealing that Gore was smirking. "Now the rest of Driver's effect activates!" The Celebrity Duelist called out a confident tone, making Purple Night slightly widen her eyes. "Your monster loses 600 ATK Points, and must attack again!" Gore explained the rest of his monster's effect as the flames surrounding Burning Phoenix cleared to show her powering down.

Lyrilusc – Burning Phoenix ATK Points: 3000 – 600 = 2400.

"What's the point of that? It'll just deal you more damage, so why would he use that effect?" Purple Night questioned in confusion with her eyes still slightly wide, wondering why Gore played a card that let her monster attack again. "Think about it. What hasn't he used yet?" Raven questioned her partner as she placed her hands on her lap, getting Purple Night to look at the Bird Ignis for a moment, before looking back at Gore.

It took a few seconds, but Purple Night figured out Gore's plan and it made her gasp in surprise. "He still has his Skill!" The purple haired female called out in surprise, making the Celebrity Duelist smirk at her. "That's right! I activate my Skill Gouki Fighting Spirit!" Gore called out as the golden lines of his jacket began glowing.

The Celebrity Duelist raised his right fist and held it up in the air. "All my Gouki monsters that were destroyed this turn return to my field! Come on back Gouki The Great Ogre and Heel Ogre!" Gore called out to the heavens as two portals appeared besides him and both Great Ogre and Heel Ogre came out.

Gouki The Great Ogre ATK Points: 2600/ Link-3/ Link Arrows: Bottom-Left, Bottom and Bottom-Right.

Gouki Heel Ogre ATK Points: 1000/ Link-2/ Link Arrows: Top and Bottom.

Raven gritted her teeth, before she looked up at Purple Night. The Bird Ignis held up her right hand and a small copy of the Speed Duel field appeared above her hand. In Purple Night's Field, Lyrilusc – Burning Phoenix had taken her right side's Extra Deck Monster Zone, while Violet Hummingbird was in the left Monster Zone. On Gore's field, Great Ogre had taken the middle monster zone and Heel Ogre took the right monster zone.

"Since The Great Ogre's back in town, your Burning Phoenix loses ATK Points equal to its DEF Points!" Gore told his opponent as he lowered his right fist. Great Ogre unleashed a sound wave attack at Burning Phoenix, making her grit her teeth as she felt her strength getting zapped away.

Lyrilusc – Burning Phoenix ATK Points: 2400 – 3000 = 0.

"0 ATK Points and you have to attack again. This isn't gonna be a pretty sight". Raven stated as the mini Duel Field above her right hand disappeared and she placed it down to her side. Purple Night gritted her teeth in anger, before she held out her right hand. "Burning Phoenix, attack Gouki Heel Ogre!" The purple haired female commanded her Synchro Monster. Burning Phoenix charged at Heel Ogre, who charged at her as well and struck Burning Phoenix in the stomach with his weapon, making the Synchro Monster cry out as she exploded. (1000 – 0 = 1000)

Purple Night Life Points: 3900 – 1000 = 2900.

"I did not enjoy that". Purple Night stated with a frown on her face, getting Raven to give her a soft look. "I know, but keep your head up. Everything is set for your victory next round". The Bird Ignis told her partner, getting Purple Night to look at her and nod, before she looked back at Gore. "I'll end my turn here!" The purple haired female declared her turn over.

Gore Life Points: 2700/ Number of cards in hand: 1.

"Alright, my turn now!" Gore called out with a grin as a cybernetic circle appeared around his Duel Disk and a card came out. The adult man drew his card in a dramatic fashion with his right hand, while the cybernetic circle disappeared. The Celebrity Duelist held the card that he drew up to look at it, before he frowned at seeing what it was.

The card disappeared and was replaced by another card, which Gore held out. "I Summon Gouki Guts!" Gore called out as the card disappeared and a new Gouki monster appeared besides Great Ogre and Heel Ogre.

Gouki Guts ATK Points: 800/ Level: 1.

"Time to mash up my circuit!" The Celebrity Duelist cried out as he held his right hand out to the sky, which the link portal appeared above. "The Summon conditions are at least two Gouki monsters! I set Gouki Guts and Gouki The Great Ogre in the Link Arrows!" Gore called out as the two Gouki monsters leaped towards the link portal and entered it, causing the Top, Bottom-Left, Bottom, Bottom-Right Link Arrows to glow.

"Link the Circuit! I Link Summon! Link-4! Gouki The Master Ogre!" Gore cried out to the heavens as Gouki The Master Ogre came out of the link portal with its axe in its right hand. A link circle appeared around the Link 4 Monster with the Top, Bottom-Left, Bottom, Bottom-Right Link Arrows glowing, before the circle disappeared.

Gouki The Master Ogre ATK Points: 2800/ Link-4/ Link Arrows: Top, Bottom-Left, Bottom, Bottom-Right.

"That's a new one". Raven commented, staring up at The Master Ogre with slightly wide eyes. "And something tells me that it's not friendly". Purple Night remarked, looking up at the Link 4 Monster with wide eyes as well. "Guts lets me add another Gouki card from my deck to my hand when he's sent from the field to the Graveyard!" Gore called out with a grin as a cybernetic circle appeared around his Duel Disk and a card came out. The adult man drew his card in a dramatic fashion with his right hand, while the cybernetic circle disappeared.

"Now I activate the Spell card, Gouki Re-Match!" Gore called out, holding the Spell card out with his right hand's index, middle and thumb fingers. "Come on back Gouki Suprex and Twistcobra!" The Celebrity Duelist called out as two more portals appeared, before both Suprex and Twistcobra came out of them.

Gouki Suprex DEF Points: 0/ Level: 4.

Gouki Twistcobra DEF Points: 0/ Level: 3.

"Now I activate Master Ogre's special ability! Once per turn, for every Gouki I return to my hand, one of your monsters loses their special ability!" Gore explained his Link Monster's special ability, making both Purple Night and Raven widen their eyes. "Oh no!" Purple Night exclaimed in alarm, realizing that this is bad news for her. "With Violet Hummingbird's effect negated, her ATK Points will return to 0!" Raven said with wide eyes, turning to look at the Synchro Monster flying behind her and besides her partner.

Gouki Suprex placed his right hand on Master Ogre's left shoulder and gave him a nod, which the Link Monster returned with his own. Suprex disappeared for a moment, before he reappeared behind Violet Hummingbird and pulled her into a full nelson, making the Synchro Monster cry out in surprise.

Lyrilusc – Violet Hummingbird ATK Points: 3900 – 3900 = 0.

Suprex disappeared and a dark grey aura surrounded Violet Hummingbird, draining her powers away. "I believe that's what's known as a really bad sign". The Bird Ignis commented with her eyes narrowed, before she got up on her feet. "You can say that again". The purple haired female stated, her eyes locked on The Master Ogre.

Gore shifted his Duel Board sideways to the right and held his right hand out to Violet Hummingbird. "Now I activate Twistcobra's special ability! By releasing it, The Master Ogre's ATK Points increase by its ATK Points!" Gore exclaimed in a sharp tone as Twistcobra burst into sparkles and was absorbed into The Master Ogre.

Gouki The Master Ogre ATK Points: 2800 + 1800 = 4600.

"And don't forget that Twistcobra lets me add another Gouki card to my hand!" Gore called out with a grin as a cybernetic circle appeared around his Duel Disk and a card came out. The adult man drew his card in a dramatic fashion with his right hand, while the cybernetic circle disappeared. "If The Master Ogre lands a successful attack, we lose". Raven told her partner, taking a moment to look at the field, before her eyes focused on Purple Night's face-down card.

"Unless your face down card is a game changer". The Bird Ignis added, getting Purple Night to let out a chuckle. "You bet it is! I activate the Trap card, Icarus Attack!" Purple Night called out as she thrust her right hand out. Her face down card revealed itself, before Violet Hummingbird turned into green energy and was absorbed into Icarus Attack's card.

"By releasing a Winged Beast-Type monster, this Trap destroys two cards on the field! Off you go Master Ogre and Heel Ogre!" The purple haired female explained her Trap card's effect, before Icarus Attack's card fired two lightning bolts at both The Master Ogre and Heel Ogre, destroying the two Link Monsters upon making impact.

Gore looked at where his two Link Monsters were just moments ago, before he turned and gave Purple Night a grin. "Sorry Purple Night, but I have something I like to call an insurance policy!" The Celebrity Duelist called out, thrusting his right hand out as a card appeared in front of his hand.

"I activate the Equip Spell card, Gouki Grit!" The Celebrity Duelist called out as the Spell card disappeared and reappeared in front of him, only much larger. "This card allows me to Summon back a Gouki monster that was destroyed! Come on back, Gouki The Master Ogre!" Gore explained his Equip Spell's effect as a portal appeared in front of the Spell card, before The Master Ogre rose up from within it.

Gouki The Master Ogre ATK Points: 2800/ Link-4/ Link Arrows: Top, Bottom-Left, Bottom, Bottom-Right.

"Oh boy". Purple Night said with a frown on her face, now defenseless for a direct attack. "Master Ogre, let her have it! Attack!" Gore commanded his Link Monster, thrusting his right hand to his opponent. The Master Ogre summoned his axe and took hold of it with both his hands, before the Link Monster charged and swiped its axe at Purple Night. The purple haired girl leaned her head backwards, just dodging the axe swipe, but a little bit of her hair was cut off.

Purple Night Life Points: 2900 – 2800 = 100.

(Back in the real world inside Kolter's van)

Kolter let out a whistle upon seeing Purple Night's low Life Points. "That's gotta suck for her. After all that Life Point increasing, she's now down to a mere 100 points". The adult man said with his right hand holding his chin and his left on his right arm's elbow. Kolter then turned his attention to Yusaku and Ash and saw the two teenagers were still pressing buttons on their separate keyboards.

"I think our friend's gonna need a knight in shining armor". Kolter told the two males, but Ash and Yusaku didn't even turn to look at him. "1: I'm more of a dragon than a knight. 2: Lulu hates being the damsel in distress and 3: She has everything she needs to win". Ash told the adult man, his eyes glued on the screen in front of him. Kolter frowned in confusion at the White Dragon Mask's words, while Yusaku just raised an eyebrow. "And how is that?" The purple haired man questioned the White Dragon Emperor, wondering how Purple Night has everything she needs to win.

Instead of Ash answering, it was Azure who answered Kolter's question. "Her key to victory is Lyrilusc – Burning Phoenix". Azure answered the adult man as he emerged from his partner's Duel Disk and into his complete form. Yusaku and Kolter turned to look at the White Dragon Ignis, both with curious expressions on their faces. "But it was destroyed". Yusaku said to the White Dragon Ignis, having seen the Synchro Monster get destroyed by Gouki Heel Ogre.

Azure gave a chuckle as he folded his claws and folded his wings in. "Just watch and enjoy". Azure told the two humans with an amused tone, before he retracted into his partner's Duel Disk and returned to his eye form. The two humans looked at each other with curious expressions, before they went back to watching the Speed Duel.

(Back in LINK VRAINS)

Purple Night straightened her posture and narrowed her eyes at Gore, who was smirking at her. "Looks like I've got this match in the bag. I've got Gouki The Great Ogre, 3 cards in my hand and 2700 Life Points. You got nothing on your field, 1 card in your hand and just 100 Life Points. Sorry, but I don't see any way for you to win this duel". Gore said to the purple haired girl with a confident grin on his face, while The Master Ogre returned to his side.

Raven turned to look at her partner and saw that Purple Night didn't look discouraged or in despair. Instead, she had a confident look on her face. Seeing her partner still filled with confidence pleased the Bird Ignis greatly. "Don't be so sure. A duel isn't over until the last card is played!" Purple Night told the Celebrity Duelist, getting him to widen his eyes at her words.

(Play Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's - Sound Duel 2 - Disc 2 - 07. Yusei's Theme)

Purple Night Life Points: 100/ Number of cards in hand: 1.

"My turn now! I draw!" Purple Night called out as a cybernetic circle appeared around her Duel Disk and a card came out. The purple haired female drew her card in a dramatic fashion with her right hand by holding her hand up into the air. "Appear, Lyrilusc – Burning Phoenix!" Purple Night called out with a wide smile, making Gore and everyone watching widen their eyes in surprise.

Flames came out of nowhere and formed a flaming tornado in front of Purple Night. The flames cleared to reveal Purple Night's ace Synchro Monster, Lyrilusc – Burning Phoenix holding her wings in front of her, before she spread them out to reveal her face with her eyes closed. Burning Phoenix opened her violet colored eyes, before she gave out a battle cry.

Lyrilusc – Burning Phoenix ATK Points: 3000/ Level: 8.

"How'd your bird come back?!" Gore questioned the purple haired female in surprise, getting Purple Night to giggle a bit. "Just like a phoenix, Burning Phoenix will rise up from the ashes and fight! When she's destroyed in battle, I'm allowed to Special Summon her on my Standby Phase". The purple haired female explained her Synchro Monster's special ability, before she swiped her right hand out in front of her.

"And here's the best part! When she's Summoned through her effect, all monsters you control are destroyed!" Purple Night continued to explain her Synchro Monster's special ability, making Gore widen his eyes even more in shock. The flames reappeared around Burning Phoenix and covered her, before forming into a giant flaming phoenix. "Go! Burning Annihilation!" Purple Night commanded her Synchro Monster, which the Synchro Monster let out a battle cry as it flew straight through The Master Ogre, destroying the Link Monster.

Gore stared at where his Link Monster just was, shocked at how easily it was destroyed. "Now Burning Phoenix's effect's final part revives as many Lyrilusc monsters equal to the number of monster that were destroyed by her effect! Since just one was destroyed, one Lyrilusc monster comes back! Come on Lyrilusc – Lifeforce Bluebird!" Purple Night cried out as a little bit of the flames from the phoenix fell and created a flaming portal in front of her. Lyrilusc – Lifeforce Bluebird floated out of the portal and took a defense stance with her wings covering her face.

Lyrilusc – Lifeforce Bluebird DEF Points: 0/ Level: 1.

The flaming phoenix returned to Purple Night's side, before the flames cleared to reveal Lyrilusc – Burning Phoenix, who had a pleased smile on her face. Gore looked straight at Purple Night's face and saw her giving him an appreciated smile. "This duel has been exciting Gore, it really has. I kinda wish that we can keep on going, but it can't. Sorry about this, but this duel's over with my victory". The purple haired female apologized to the Celebrity Duelist, before she pointed at him with her right hand's index finger and held the card she drew with her middle and ring fingers.

"Lyrilusc – Burning Phoenix, attack The Gore directly and end this duel!" Purple Night commanded her Synchro Monster with her voice full of life, showing just how alive she felt from this duel against Gore. Lyrilusc – Burning Phoenix lifted her right hand in front of her face and opened her palm, show a ball of fire floating above the palm. She then gently blew on the fire, causing more fire to come out of it like that of a flamethrower and engulf Gore, landing a direct hit on him. Gore didn't scream or cry out in defeat, he just closed his eyes and smiled, accepting his defeat with honor.

Gore Life Points: 2700 – 3000 = 0.

Purple Night: wins!

(Real world/ music stop)

"We have us a winner! Purple Night has soared high into the sky like that of a phoenix and has claimed victory!" The MC man called out on his microphone with a wide smile on his face. The crowd of people cheered for Purple Night, chanting her name while a few female kids looked at her like she was their hero.

Back inside Kolter's van, the adult man blinked in surprise at seeing Purple Night win the Speed Duel. "Well, look at that? She won. Guess I owe you guys 5 dollars". Kolter said to the two teenagers, making Ash smirk as he temporarily stopped working to turn around to face him. "Next time, keep the comments for after the duel. You never know who will win". The White Dragon Emperor told the adult man, before he went back to hacking onto the network.

Kolter sighed before he crossed his arms and closed his eyes, intending to take a temporarily nap. Yusaku and Azure were quiet, both too focus on their tasks to join in on the conversation, but the White Dragon Ignis did look proud.

---

(Back in LINK VRAINS)

Both Purple Night and Gore remained on their D-Boards as they rode through the wind, but their Duel Disks deactivated with both Lyrilusc – Burning Phoenix and Lifeforce Bluebird disappearing. Raven looked proud of her Duelist for defeating the number 1 Celebrity Duelist. She clapped her hands together a few time at Purple Night. "Magnificently done, partner". The Bird Ignis praised her partner with a happy tone, getting Purple Night to smile at Raven,

"Thanks Raven". Purple Night thanked her partner for her words, before she looked forward at Gore and saw him smiling at her. The Celebrity Duelist lifted his right hand up and gave Purple Night the thumbs up. "You were amazing Purple Night, well done". Gore praised his opponent, showing good sportsmanship towards her.

The purple haired girl smiled brightly at the Celebrity Duelist's praise. She gave Gore a small bow of gratitude for his words. "Thank you for the wonderful and exciting duel, Gore. I hope we get another chance to duel". The purple haired girl thanked the Celebrity Duelist, getting him to nod at her. "I hope we'll have a rematch as well. But for now, I'm going off to duel some more suckers unlucky to run into me. I'll see you around Purple Night". Gore bid farewell to the purple haired girl, before he turned around and increased his D-Board's speed.

Purple Night watched as Gore began to leave her sight until eventually, he disappeared from view. She let out a sigh with her eyes closed, getting Raven's proud look to change into a concerned one. "Is something wrong?" The Bird Ignis questioned her partner, getting Purple Night to open her eyes and look at Raven and gave a reassuring look. "No, it's nothing. It's just been so long since I had an exciting duel like that". The purple haired girl replied to her Ignis partner, getting Raven's concerned look to change into an understanding one.

"That's pretty understandable. An intense duel like that can exhaust a Duelist mentally. I have to admit, I was getting restless from that duel as well". The Bird Ignis admitted to her partner, having gotten excited from the intense duel herself. Purple Night was about to say something to Raven, only to stop when Lunalight Dancer and Green Witch came out of nowhere and rode their D-Boards besides her.

Both Purple Night and Raven widened their eyes in surprise at their sisters' sudden appearance, more at seeing the looks of panic on their faces. "What's up with you two?" The purple haired girl questioned her sisters in surprise, wondering why they were panicking. "I'll tell you what! Pink Dragon Mask disappeared when we weren't looking!" Lunalight Dancer answered the Lyrilusc Duelist, making Purple Night and Raven widen their eyes in panic.

"What!?" Both Purple Night and Raven exclaimed in concern for both their kids. "We took our eyes off them for just a moment and the next, they were gone!" Carla explained to the two, emerging from Lunalight Dancer's Duel Disk and into her complete form. "Hopefully, she wasn't captured by a Knight of Hanoi. Raven, can you track Velvet down?" Wendy questioned the Bird Ignis with a worried voice.

Raven closed her eyes as she began scanning the network for her daughter's signal. After 30 seconds, she reopened her eyes and looked at her partner. "It's faint, but I've got a signal on them. I'll lead you all to them". The Bird Ignis told the purple haired girl, before she faced forward. Purple Night gave a small sigh of relief with her eyes closed, before she opened them and looked forward. "Follow me!" The purple haired girl told her two sisters, before she increased her D-Board's speed. Lunalight Dancer, Carla, Green Witch and Wendy looked at one another for a moment, before they looked forward and chased after Purple Night in the hopes of finding Pink Dragon Mask and Velvet.

---

(Meanwhile with Pink Dragon Mask and Velvet)

During Purple Night and Gore's whole duel, Pink Dragon Mask and Velvet had been following after Blue Angel and watching her duel against her opponent. During the whole Speed Duel, Pink Dragon Mask had watched Blue Angel duel and how she excited the crowd in awe like that of a child watching her hero.

Right now, Blue Angel had backed her opponent into a corner by destroying all his monsters, leaving him open for a direct attack. She was currently riding her D-Board in the lead of her opponent and had Trickstar Foxglove Witch on her field, while her opponent didn't have anything on his field.

Blue Angel Life Points: 2300/ Number of cards in hand: 3.

Trickstar Foxglove Witch ATK Points: 2200/ Link-3/ Link Arrows: Top, Left and Right.

Opponent Life Points: 1000/ Number of cards in hand: 1.

"Are you all ready for the grand finale!?" Blue Angel cried out to the crowd of people watching her from the real world with a wide smile on her face. Pink Dragon Mask's eyes sparkles as she watched the idol of LINK VRAINS in awe. "Okay true blue crew, the next attack's for you". The idol of LINK VRAINS said to the audience as she gave a wink with her left eye.

"She's so cool". Pink Dragon Mask whispered in excitement, flying a bit above the sky to watch the Speed Duel. "I guess you could say that. Not everyone has the guts to be an idol". Velvet remarked with her eye focused on the idol of LINK VRAINS, seeing that she wasn't afraid to be the center of attention.

"Trickstar Foxglove Witch, send him flying!" Blue Angel commanded her Link Monster with a wide grin, pointing at her opponent with her right hand's index finger. Foxglove Witch gave out a cry as she spun her staff in her hand a bit, before taking hold of it and firing a pink beam. The pink beam zapped the teenage boy, who cried out in pain before the zap turned into a pink explosion, blowing him off his Duel Board and into the air.

Opponent Life Points: 1000 – 2200 = 0.

Blue Angel: wins!

The 7-year-old girl smiled widely at seeing Blue Angel win the duel. "She won!" The young girl exclaimed in joy at seeing the idol of LINK VRAINS win the duel. "She is impressive, but I can't tell if she's a good Duelist, or her opponent was just that bad". The Child Ignis remarked, unable to tell if Blue Angel was an experienced Duelist or not.

Trickstar Foxglove Witch disappeared from view, but Pink Dragon Mask paid her no mind. Her focus was on Blue Angel as she rode her Duel Board away. The 7-year-old girl flew after the idol of LINK VRAINS, wanting to speak to her face to face. Upon hearing the sounds of something flapping, Blue Angel looked over her left shoulder and saw Pink Dragon Mask flying after her.

The idol of LINK VRAINS widened her eyes in surprise at seeing a child flying after her, especially with her avatar looking a little bit like White Dragon Mask. Wondering why she was following her, Blue Angel decided to ask the young child herself. The idol of LINK VRAINS looked forward, before she jumped off her Duel Board and landed on a rooftop. She looked up and saw Pink Dragon Mask still flying up in the air. She waved her right hand down towards her, telling the 7-year-old girl to come down to her.

Pink Dragon Mask hesitated for a moment, before she flew down and landed in front of Blue Angel. The 7-year-old chld looked up at the idol of LINK VRAINS, who knelt down to her knees to look at the child's eyes. "Hi there". Blue Angel happily greeted the child, who gave her a happy smile on her face. "Hello". Pink Dragon Mask greeted the idol of LINK VRAINS with a smile.

"What's a cute little girl like you doing following me?" Blue Angel questioned the young child, placing her right hand atop Pink Dragon Mask's head and gave her a comforting pat. Pink Dragon Mask looked down in nervousness, her cheeks a bit red. "I wanted to watch you duel. I really liked how you duel, exciting the crowd and having so much fun. I really admire you". The 7-year-old child told the idol of LINK VRAINS why she followed after her, making Blue Angel slightly widen her eyes in surprise.

"Wow, I'm really flattered that you look up to me, even after I lost to White Dragon Mask". Blue Angel said as her face fell, remembering her defeat to the White Dragon Emperor and how she was controlled. "I don't care about that. You dueled with everything you had, and that's what matters. You're a lot stronger than you think". The young child told the idol of LINK VRAINS, making Blue Angel widen her eyes in surprise at her words and how she called her stronger than she thinks.

The idol of LINK VRAINS gave an appreciated smile at the young child and gave her a comforting rub. "Hey, thanks. I really appreciate that you called me strong. What's your name by the way?" Blue Angel questioned Pink Dragon Mask, having realized that she doesn't know her name yet. The young child have a happy smile at Blue Angel, making her fight the urge to give her a tight hug. "My name is Pink Dragon Mask". The 7-year-old child answered the teenage girl, making Blue Angel widen her eyes in surprise.

'Pink Dragon Mask? Is she a friend or little sister to White Dragon Mask?' The idol of LINK VRAINS thought to herself with a small blush as she thought about the masked Duelist that saved her. "I…I was wondering if…" Pink Dragon Mask began with a nervous look, breaking Blue Angel from her thoughts as she looked at the child in front of her. "…If you could be my teacher". The young child finished as her nervous look changed into a determine look, once again making Blue Angel widen her eyes in surprise.

The idol of LINK VRAINS was silent as she looked into Pink Dragon Mask's determine eyes and saw the light in them. The light lit her heart up from the darkness of being alone and made her feel alive. She gave the young child a smile, before she nodded her head. "Sure, I don't mind. From this day forth, you're officially my student and I'm your teacher". Blue Angel told the young 7-year-old girl, making her smile brightly at her answer.

"Yay! Thank you!" Pink Dragon Mask called out in joy as she gave Blue Angel a big hug, making the idol of LINK VRAINS widen her eyes in surprise. Slowly, Blue Angel brought her hands up and wrapped them around the young girl, returning the hug. The idol of LINK VRAINS closed her eyes as she felt the comfort that Pink Dragon Mask was giving it, feeling similar to the comfort that her brother gives her.

"There you are!" A familiar voice called out in a relived tone, getting Blue Angel and Pink Dragon Mask's attention as they broke their hug and looked up to see Purple Night, Lunalight Dancer and Green Witch riding their Duel Boards towards them. The three females leaped off their Duel Boards and landed in front of both Blue Angel and Pink Dragon Mask. The young 7-year-old girl gained a nervous look upon seeing the disappointed looks on the three teenagers' faces.

However, Purple Night and Lunalight Dancer took notice of Blue Angel, getting them to widen their eyes in surprise. "Blue Angel?!" Purple Night exclaimed in surprise at seeing the idol of LINK VRAINS, before she grew an understanding look on her face. Like Purple Night, Lunalight Dancer grew a look of understanding on her face as she walked towards Pink Dragon Mask with her hands on her hips. "So that's why you ran off, to watch your idol, huh?" Lunalight Dancer said with a smirk on her face, getting Pink Dragon Mask to lightly blush at her mother's words.

Purple Night walked up to Blue Angel and Pink Dragon Mask, stopping next to Lunalight Dancer and gave the idol of LINK VRAINS a small bow. "I hope Pink Dragon Mask didn't cause you any trouble". The purple haired female said to the idol of LINK VRAINS, getting Blue Angel to shake her head sideways as she stood up on her feet. "No, not at all. In fact, I accept her as my student". Blue Angel replied to the Winged Beast Duelist, making Purple Night, Lunalight Dancer and Green Witch widen their eyes in surprise.

Purple Night grew a smile on her face as she looked down at her daughter. "You've finally chosen your teacher. I'm happy for you". Purple Night said to her daughter with a smile, getting Pink Dragon Mask to return the smile. The Winged Beast Duelist turned her attention to Blue Angel and gave her another bow. "Please look after Pink Dragon Mask. She means a lot to us". Purple Night begged the idol of LINK VRAINS with a pleading voice, getting Blue Angel to smile and nod to her.

"Don't worry. I'll make sure I look after the little cutie and make her into one of the greatest Duelists ever". Blue Angel replied to Purple Night with a wink, making her smile at the blue haired girl. "Thank you". Purple Night thanked the idol of LINK VRAINS, before she turned her attention to Pink Dragon Mask. "Time for us to log out. It's getting late". The purple haired female told the young child, making Pink Dragon Mask moan in displeasure.

"Aww, but I wanted to spend some time with my teacher". Pink Dragon Mask said in displeasure that she wouldn't be able to spend time with her new teacher. "Don't worry about it. Tomorrow, you can spend as much time with Blue Angel as you want". Lunalight Dancer told the 7-year-old girl as she placed her right hand on the young girl's head and gave a comforting pat.

Pink Dragon Mask gave a sad smile at her mother before she nodded. She then turned her attention to the idol of LINK VRAINS and saw her giving her an understanding look. "Don't worry. I'm free tomorrow and will have a lot of time to spend with you. So for now, log out and get some rest". Blue Angel told the young girl, who eagerly nodded to her. "Okay teacher". Pink Dragon Mask replied to her new teacher, getting Blue Angel to chuckle a bit before she gave a wink as she logged out of LINK VRAINS.

With the coast clear, Raven and Carla emerged from their partner's Duel Disks in their complete forms. "She made a very speedy recovery to Speed Duel again after what happened to her. She's got some serious guts". The Cat Ignis remarked with an impressed expression on her face, her tail wrapping around her left leg. "Hopefully she's fully recovered. It hasn't been long since the battle against Varis and Red Knight". Raven said in concern, sitting down on her knees above her partner's Duel Disk's orb.

"Don't worry. Despite her flaws, Skye Zaizen is stronger than you give her credit for". Purple Night told her partner with a smile, holding her left arm up to look down at the Bird Ignis. Green Witch, Wendy and Velvet were silent, having no idea what they were talking about. "Not to interrupt, but mind explaining what you guys are talking about?" Green Witch questioned with her arms crossed, having no idea what they were saying about Blue Angel.

Lunalight Dancer turned around to face Green Witch and gave her a reassuring smile. "Don't worry, we'll explain everything to you later. Right now, we should plan our meeting in the real world". The indigo haired girl replied to the Windwitch Duelist, getting hers and everyone else's attention as they looked at the Lunalight Duelist.

"She has a point. Green Witch, when you get back to the real world, head to Den City's plaza and look for a hotdog van. That's where you'll find us". Purple Night told the green haired girl with her hands clapped behind her. Green Witch nodded to her sister, memorizing what she told her. "Okay, got it. But get a hot dog ready for me". The Windwitch Duelist told her sister with a sly smile on her face, getting Purple Night to giggle a bit. "I'll keep that in mind". The purple haired girl replied to the green haired girl.

Raven looked at Green Witch's Duel Disk to look at Wendy, who was still trapped in her eye form. "Azure might have your data that Red Knight stole from you. Be a little bit patient and you'll be back to normal soon". The Bird Ignis told her fellow Ignis, getting Wendy to let out a sigh. "The one thing I'm terrible at". The Witch Ignis stated, making Raven, Carla and Velvet burst out laughing.

After the three Ignis stopped laughing, the four humans logged out of LINK VRAINS and returned to the real world.

(A few hours later in the real world)

Inside Kolter's van, Ash, Yusaku and Azure were still where they were since they started working, sitting down on chairs and looking up at the cabinet/computer screens as they worked. The only difference was that Kolter was snoring away, having fallen asleep when he meant to take a break. Behind them was Lulu, back in her body, sitting down on her chair, reading her book with her Duel Disk still on her left forearm as she waited.

3 hours have passed since Lulu's return from LINK VRAINS and she and Raven told Ash, Yusaku and Azure everything that happened. Both Ash and Azure were happy at hearing Rin and Wendy were safe and sound, but Velvet came as a shock to the White Dragon Emperor and Yusaku. It took some explaining and a bit of embarrassment to explain how Velvet was created and let's just say that things were awkward for Ash and Yusaku upon learning Raven gave birth to Velvet.

After the embarrassment passed, Lulu told the two that Rin, Celina and Saya would come to the plaza and meet up with them. Yusaku at first, thought it was a bad idea to have another person join them, but Ash reassured him that Rin wouldn't drag the team down and would help them out a lot. Deciding to trust his comrade's words, Yusaku allowed Rin the chance to join the team if she wanted, much to Ash and Lulu's appreciation. Lulu then told the two how Saya became Blue Angel's student, much to their surprise, but trusted the child not to tell the idol of LINK VRAINS their identities.

All that has led to here, with the three teenagers waiting for their friends to arrive. Suddenly, someone outside the van knocked on the door two times, getting everyone's attention as they ceased what they were doing, while Azure and Raven emerged from their partners' Duel Disks. "You think that's them?" Azure questioned his partner in an alarm tone, refusing to lower his guard unless it was safe to.

Ash closed his eyes as he focused on his powers to sense the presence of whoever it was outside. Outside, he felt Celina, Saya and Rin's presences, making him smile as he opened his eyes. "I'm sure it's them". The White Dragon Emperor answered his Ignis partner, before he looked over at Lulu. "Would you be so kind to open the door?" The raven- and red-haired male requested from his girlfriend, making Lulu smile at him as she closed her book and placed it down on the counter.

The purple haired girl stood up from her chair and walked towards the back doors. She lifted her right hand up and pushed the door open, revealing Celina, Saya and Rin standing outside. Despite the 2 years that's passed, Rin hasn't changed much; her hair hasn't even grown at all. She was wearing a leather band neckless with a clear crystal pendent, gray jeans with a pink flared camisole with a white frilled border with a fitted long sleeve emerald, a green jacket and pink high heeled boot.

Rin waved her left hand at Lulu, allowing the purple haired girl to see that she had her Duel Disk on. "Hey Lulu, long time no see". The green haired girl greeted her sister with a happy tone, making Lulu wave her left hand back at her. "Right back at ya. Come on in". Lulu replied to her sister as she stepped back and made room for everyone to answer. Celina, Saya and Rin all entered the van, with the 7-year-old girl closing the doors behind them.

Ash, Yusaku and Azure all turned to look at the three girls, before the White Dragon Emperor stood up from his seat. "Hey Rin". Ash greeted his Synchro mate with a smile, one that she happily returned as she walked up to him and gave the White Dragon Emperor a hug, one that he returned.

Saya walked up next to where Azure was and placed her Duel Disk next to her father's Duel Disk. The White Dragon Ignis looked over at the Duel Disk's screen and saw Velvet, making him grow a happy expression. "Velvet". Azure said in a gentle tone, getting Velvet to soften her gaze at her father. "Hi daddy". The Child Ignis greeted her father with a soft look, making Azure shed a tear of happiness at seeing his daughter again.

Lulu watched both Azure and Velvet with a happy smile on her face, before she looked down at Raven, where saw the Bird Ignis watching her mate and daughter. The purple haired girl took her Duel Disk off and placed it besides the other two, allowing her partner to be with her family. Lulu then turned her attention to Yusaku, who was watching Ash and Rin. "So that's your friend Rin, right?" Yusaku questioned as he turned to look at the purple haired girl.

Lulu nodded to her comrade, before Yusaku took another look at Rin, who was having a conversation with Ash. "She has the same face as you and Celina. Is she your sister?" The 16-year-old male questioned Lulu, turning to look back at her and saw her nervous face. "You could say that". The Lyrilusc Duelist replied to the Cyberse user, deciding to hold off the whole counterparts information for the moment.

"Is there anyone else with the same face as you guys?" Yusaku questioned Lulu, wondering if there was anybody else with the same face as her, Celina and Rin. Instead of Lulu answering, it was Celina as she walked up to the 16-year-old boy. "There's one more girl out there with the same face as us, her name is Zuzu". The Lunalight Duelist told her comrade, before she looked at the sleeping Kolter and chuckled. "Looks like someone's tired". Celina stated with an amused smile on her face.

Ash and Rin finished their conversation and looked over at everyone, but the White Dragon Emperor's main focus was on his partner's daughter. "So this is Velvet, huh?" The White Dragon Emperor said as he retook his seat and looked down at Saya's Duel Disk to look at Velvet, getting the Child Ignis' attention as she looked at her father's partner. "Hello". Velvet greeted Ash with a respectful tone, making him smile at the Child Ignis.

Wendy had been silent for the last 2 minutes, but has waited long enough. "AZURE! Do you have my data!?" Wendy questioned the White Dragon Ignis, getting his attention as he looked over at Rin's Duel Disk and saw Wendy there. "Nice to see you too Wendy, and the answer is yes. Here". Azure answered the Witch Ignis, before he held his right claw towards her. A green beam shot out of the White Dragon Ignis's claw and into Wendy's eye, causing the Witch Ignis to glow before her eye shut.

A small light came from Rin's Duel Disk, before a figure began to arise from within it. It was a lean Ignis figure just like Raven and Carla, but her colour was aqua-green and had a human body with short green hair. One of the differences between Wendy and the other Ignis was that she appeared to be wearing clothes. She had an aqua-green cloak around her shoulders, a witch hat on top of her head and what appeared to be high heels on her feet.

Wendy let out a happy sigh as she stretched her arms out into the air. "Finally, I'm back to my awesome self!" The Witch Ignis exclaimed in joy as she brought her hands down and looked at Azure, who was watching her with his claws folded. "Nice to see you're cheery again". The White Dragon Ignis stated, making Wendy chuckle as she placed her hands on her hips.

With Wendy restored to her complete form, Ash and Lulu began telling Rin about everything that's happened since they arrived and why they teamed up with Yusaku to defeat the Knights of Hanoi. The rest of the afternoon was spent either telling Rin all that has taken place, or deleting online footage of Playmaker, White Dragon Mask, Purple Night, Lunalight Dancer, Pink Dragon Mask or Green Witch.

(Meanwhile in another part in Den City)

In another district of Den City, inside the Zaizen household, Skye was sitting down on one of the couches, wearing a blue and white t-shirt with pink accents, light blue shorts with a pink drawstring, and baby blue slippers. She was currently watching the news as they talked about Purple Night, Green Witch, Lunalight Dancer and her new student, Pink Dragon Mask.

Her new student. Those three words continued to linger in Skye's mind as she thought of the 7-year-old child she met not too long ago. Even if the avatar conceals a person's real age, she could tell that Pink Dragon Mask really was just a young child. But something was different about her than normal children, even Skye when she was her age. When she first looked into the child's eyes, even if they were covered by her mask's lens, she felt like the child wasn't looking at Blue Angel, but at her, Skye Zaizen.

When she spoke, it didn't feel like she was speaking to Blue Angel, but to her. Skye had never met a child like her, something about her to seem to make the darkness of being alone go away and fill her with the light joy. Upon being asked to be her teacher, Skye was surprised by the request. She knew full well the responsibilities of taking on a student, but she accepted the child as her student. Skye's thoughts then wondered to the hug that Pink Dragon Mask gave her.

That hug… it felt unlike anything she's ever experienced before. Not even her hugs with Akira were anything like them. She felt such trust, happiness and love from the hug and it made her happy that it was directed at her. Skye looked down at her lap and smiled as she thought about Pink Dragon Mask's happy smile, before her attention shifted upon hearing her phone's ringtone on the table in front of her.

The brown-haired girl looked up and saw her phone lying down on the table's screen. She reached out to it with her right hand, before she picked it up and held it in front of her. "Hopefully, Akira isn't mad". The teenage girl said as she pressed on her phone, answering the call. The phone changed to reveal Akira's face, who had his casual serious face. "Good afternoon Akira". Skye greeted her brother with a smile, hoping he doesn't know that she logged into LINK VRAINS.

"Skye, is it true. Did you really take on a student?" The former Security Manager questioned his sister, cutting right to the chase. Skye widened her eyes in shock, wondering how he knew about Pink Dragon Mask. "H-How did you…?" The idol of LINK VRAINS questioned her brother in shock, wanting to know how he knew.

"I asked Ghost Gal to keep a look out on you in case you returned to LINK VRAINS for the Fan Appreciation Day. She recorded everything and sent it over to me". Akira explained to his sister how he knew about her and Pink Dragon Mask, before his gaze soften and gave his sister a soft look. "Skye, while I'm upset that you returned to LINK VRAINS after what happened to you, I'm also happy that you decided to take on a student, but I have ask if you know what this means? Taking on a student is a great responsibility that you can't walk away from. And it's a teacher's duty to protect the student, no matter what. Can you really do this Skye?" Akira questioned his sister with a crossover of a serious and concerned tone.

Skye was silent as she stared at her brother's image on her phone for a few moments, thinking of the right words to use. Eventually, she spoke. "I know that what I'm getting into isn't something that I can't take back, but I never had any intention of backing down from my choice. When I was with Pink Dragon Mask, it felt like she was talking to me, not Blue Angel. It felt like she was asking to be the student of Skye Zaizen and not Blue Angel. And that darkness of being alone seemed to disappear when I was with her. That's why I accepted her as my student, because she sees the real me and not Blue Angel". Skye explained to her brother with a growing smile as she thought about the girl that brought light to her.

Akira was silent for a few moments after listening to his sister's words, before he gave her a smile. "I understand Skye. I can't really help you as I've never taken a student on myself, but I can tell you to treat her with respect. I'll let you go on LINK VRAINS to teach her, but nothing else. Teach her well on both Dueling and to be a person". The former Security Manager told his younger sister with a tone of respect, making Skye give her brother a happy smile.

"I will, brother". The teenage girl replied to her brother, happy that he's respecting her choice. Akira nodded in approval at his sister. "I'm heading home now. I'll pick up something to congratulate you for taking on a student". Akira told his sister with a smile, before he ended the call. Skye was smiling as she placed the phone down. However, her attention shifted when she saw the sunset. The teenage girl lifted herself off the couch and walked up to the window to get a better look at the sunset. As she looked at the sun, Skye's thoughts changed to Ash and how he fought to rescue her from the virus. "…Ash…" Skye whispered with her cheeks red, wishing to see the boy that saved her again. She'd continue to watch the sunset until her brother returned home.

(The Spirit World)

Meanwhile in this world's Duel Monsters Spirit World, a celebration was taking place upon the island that the White Dragons, Lyrilusc, Pink Dragons, Lunalight and Windwitch Monsters lived in this Spirit World. The celebration was about the monsters reuniting with their families and loved ones that they have been separated from when they arrived in this world. Not to mention, the new Link Monsters, Lunalight Lynx and Wind Witch – Tiara Bell were also joining in on the fun. Currently, they were having a nice conversation with Blue Link Dragon in a separate part away from everyone else.

"So, how long have you've been here, handsome?" Lynx Dancer asked as she wrapped her arms around Blue Link's right arm, making Blue Link Dragon blush at her actions and what she called him. "Yes, how long have you've been here?" Tiara Bell asked as she wrapped her arms around Blue Link's right arm. "Well, not very long". Blue Link Dragon answered the two females in a nervous voice, feeling a bit nervous and around the two new female Link Monsters that seemed to like him very much.

Nearby, four White Dimension Dragons were happily reunited with their mates. Black Xyz Dragon was with the main Xyz Monsters of Lulu, Celina and Rin's decks, Silver Pendulum was with the main Pendulum Monsters, Green Synchro was with the Synchro Monsters and Purple Fusion had the Fusion monsters as well.

Not too far away, Stardust was having his own family reunion with Lunalight Cat Dancer, Lyrilusc – Assembled Nightingale and Windwitch – Winter Bell, along with their children. In front of him was his and Cat Dancer's dragon cat hybrid son, Stardustlight – Nova Dancer. Besides him was his and Winter Bell's human and dragon hybrid son, Stardust Witch – Winter Force Bell. Lyriluse Dragon – Stardustgale was watching besides her mother, having been the only child that wasn't separated from her father.

The three children kept questioned the father, who just looked down at his children with a loving gaze, before he turned to look at his mates, who were all watching him. "Quite a handful, are they?" Stardust said to his mates: Nightingale, Winter Bell, and Cat Dancer, all of them smiling in happiness upon being reunited.

"Well, they are your children". Winter Bell reminded her lover that their children were like their father a little bit. "But they still got their good looks from us". Cat Dancer stated, still smiling as she watched her son. Nightingale was silent as she watched her husband, but then she felt something tug on her left hand wing, getting the Xyz Monster's attention as she looked to see her daughter was the cause.

Lyriluse Dragon – Stardustgale looked at her mother with her yellow eyes that she inherited from her father. "Mommy, don't you think you should show everyone your new form now?" Lyrilusc Dragon – Stardustgale questioned her mother, getting Stardust, Winter Bell, Cat Dancer and their children's' attention upon hearing 'new' form.

"New form?" Stardust questioned in wonder with everyone else thinking the same thing. Nightingale looked up at her mate, sisters and niece for a few moments, before she gave them a smile. "I'll show you". Nightingale told her mate as she took a few steps back, before she glowed and transformed into Convene Nightingale, making everyone widen their eyes in awe upon seeing Nightingale's new form and how beautiful she looked.

"You look... beautiful". Stardust complimented his wife, staring at her new, beautiful form. "Thank you". Nightingale thanked her husband for his kind words, blushing as the children called her beautiful as well. Nightingale decided to remain in her new form for the rest of the celebration. The reunion continued on for all the Duel Spirits and their love ones. It looked like everyone was having a great time at the celebration. No matter how far apart you are in life, you'll always find your family somewhere.

(Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS ending 1: Believe in Magic)

In a dark room, the Duel Disks of Ash, Yusaku and Rose were all placed down on a table with the only source of light coming from the spheres. Yusaku's Duel Disk had a purple glow, Ash's one was releasing a white one and Rose's Duel Disk was giving out a rosy coloured one. Suddenly, a data stream went over the three orbs for a few seconds, before clearing to reveal the closed eyes of Ai, Azure and Blaze.

The three Ignis opened their eyes, then proceeded to look to their right. The camera then zoomed in on them, before changing to show LINK VRAINS, riding the Data Storm wind as if in a Speed Duel through the city. Eventually, a bright white light came up to the camera and blinded the screen.

"Dance! Let your footsteps ring out!"

"Yell! You Gotta Go, Raise your voice!"

In the afternoon of Den City, Yusaku was walking past a colorful street, before his alter ego Playmaker appeared next to him. Nearby, Ash was walking past the street next to a window, which showed White Dragon Mask as his reflection. At Den City Park, Rose was kneeling down in front of a few roses next to a lake. Rose's reflection showed her alter ego, Black Rose Dragon Mask instead of her normal reflection.

"Sing! Let out every bit of your existence!"

"Get away! Until you overcome those limits that label you!"

"Try it, again and again!"

At a wrestling ring, The Gore had his hands up with a wide grin as graffiti rained down on him. At Den City Street, Skye Zaizan was walking through a T.V. that showed her alter ego Blue Angel. On the other side of the street, Lulu, Rin, Zuzu, Celina and Saya were walking together, each having an ice scream of different flavors. A window next to them showed their alter egos, Purple Night, Green Witch, Music Singer, Lunalight Dancer and Pink Dragon Mask instead of their normal reflections.

In a dark purple background, Ema had her arms crossed with a devious smile on her face. The screen zoomed in on her face, before changing to show Playmaker, White Dragon Mask and Black Rose Dragon Mask riding their Duel Boards into the sky with their partners Ai, Azure and Rose in their true forms, still attached to their partners' Duel Disks, bringing Data Storm wind with them.

"Unending and ever expanding".

"Inside this very world".

The camera changed to show Varis, Black Dragon Mask and Specter in a dark blue world. The two brothers had their backs to one another, staring off to the sides, while Specter stood in between them, smirking deviously at the camera.

"Endless and every connecting".

"Flow of the timeline."

In a dark room with the only source of light being yellow glowing light was Kolter, sitting down and looking down at the bright light with a frown married to his face. The camera zoomed in on the adult man's face, who didn't make the slightest movement at all.

"Nothing is for certain!"

"In this lonely age."

The camera changed to show SOL Technologies' top secret room with Akiza standing at the edge, looking across the room. His face then appeared in front of the camera, showing the deep frown that he had.

"Don't hesitate, Set Yourself Free!"

"Cuz we still believin' in magic".

Yusaku, Ash and Rose all stood in a blue, white and red world, watching as Ai, Azure and Blaze flew around besides each other. Yusaku had his arms crossed, Ash's hands were hanging at his sides and Rose had her hands folded behind her back with their clothes blowing in the breeze. The two Fudo siblings had small smiles as they watched their partners fly around.

"The miracle we will leave behind."

"The miracle we will leave behind."

"The miracle that we will create!"

Yusaku, Ash and Rose all stood together a little bit away from Den City's high school with all three of them having their eyes closed. The three teenagers then opened their eyes to reveal the battle-ready looks in them. The world then changed to LINK VRAINS with Playmaker, White Dragon Mask and Black Rose Dragon Mask all in similar positions to their real selves, standing a little bit away from a virtual version of LINK VRAINS. They had their eyes closed with the two siblings' masks covering their eyes, before they all opened them to reveal the battle-ready looks that they all had.

"Never give up, never!"

The screen changed to show Kolter standing in the middle of a street, looking up at the rainy sky with his hands in his coat's pocket, before an image of his face appeared in front of the camera. The screen the changed to show Varis' smirking face as he stood inside of his base, ready to unleash some unknown plan.

"Don't give up. Never give up, never!"

Skye stood back-to-back with her brother with a concerned expression on her face.
