It's a good start for Demon King and his team so far. Thanks to Wiseman, Laguna was defeated and can keep pushing ahead. Now it's time for Aoneko to play her part as she was faced with the one that represented the element of earth: Daichi.

"I am going to enjoy this. I can't... I can't hold back anymore! Let's start now!" Daichi demanded as he wanted to start at once. "Let's duel! Let's duel so I can start hearing your screams of pain and misery! I want to hear you begging and pleading to be spared! It will be like a sweet melody!"

"What a weirdo, but I've got to beat him." Aoneko said. "I should also stream this. Not to get views, but people on the outside would want to know what's going on in here and try to give them hope." Aoneko set things up to record this and was ready to take her on. "Let's go, rock head!"

"Yes! Let's do this!" Daichi said as the two could now begin.

"Let's duel!" They both said and were now starting their duel with each one having 4000LP.

Interstellar

"I don't care what it takes! Someone keep eyes in there at all times!" Justice said. "If we know what's going on in there, we know how to act!"

"Sir! I think I might have found a way! Someone is actually live streaming right now." An employee brought it up and showed that it was now Aoneko dueling against the likes of Daichi.

'As much as I hate leaving things in their hands, we have our hands full here to try and keep our systems from being hacked.' Justice thought. 'I hope they know what they're doing.'

Labilia

"Oh man. Things have gotten so crazy in duel links lately." Labilia complained as she was in the real world. After what happened with Jamilov, she was just enjoying herself at a nice café with her tablet. "At least my latest video have people subscribing." She was enjoying the attention, but then noticed something. "Ooh... That pathetic Aoneko is live streaming. Let's see what dumb video she has now." She turned on the video and saw the duel happening.

...

Duel Links

"Are you recording this? How delightful!" Daichi said.

"I'm recording this because I'm sure people will love to know that you and that boss of yours will be defeated." Aoneko said. "Now let's get this duel going."

"Yes! We can now begin! It's my turn!" Daichi said as he was going first. "I already know what card I want to start with, but I'll have to play this one first. I play my Great Medicine continuous spell! Thanks to this spell, any life points I lose by an effect during my turn will be restored. Now that I have that done, I can activate my favorite spell: Chain Energy! As long as this card remains on the field, we both will lose 500LP every time we play a card from our hands!"

"What?!" Aoneko questioned as she didn't like that. That was when chains appeared right around the two of them and she could feel it tightening around her. "Are you saying we can't make a move without giving up life points because of that spell?"

"Yes! That's right! I can't wait to see the looks you make when that happens!" Daichi said. "Now, I summon Treevil Maple!" He summoned out a maple tree with a monstrous face and had its roots like tentacles. It also had 1500atk points That was when his own Chain Energy worked against him and his own life points dropped to 3500. "I much rather prefer you being the one in pain than me, so make your move and let me see your face when you're in pain! Since my turn has now ended, I regain the life points I lost." Thanks to his Great Medicine, his life points returned to 4000.

"My turn! I draw!" Aoneko said as she drew her card. 'I have to admit that it's quite the effective combo he has. He doesn't have to worry about giving up life points because of Chain Energy as long as he has Great Medicine in play. I don't have a card like that. I have to somehow get rid of these chains.' She thought as she is going to have a tough time dueling if she has to constantly lose life points. "I'll start my turn by summoning Swift Cat to the field!" She started things out by summoning a white cat with a star on it's head and had 900atk points.

"Yes! Do whatever you like because my spell can deal you pain!" Daichi cheered as the chains tightened around her and her life points dropped to 3500.

"I've got to try and hold on. I activate Swift Cat's ability! It allows me to special summon another one straight from my deck!" Aoneko said as she summoned another cat on the field. "And since it was summoned from my deck, I won't take any damage since your Chain Energy only works with the cards that are in my hand."

"Not fair! I want to see you in pain!" Daichi called.

"You'll be the one in pain once I set both my Swift Cats in the link arrows!" Aoneko said as she opened the circuit. "The summoning conditions are two level two or higher beast-type monsters! I link summon!" Both of her cats dived into the arrows that were on the sides and opened the way for a monster. "Appear, Link 2 Cat Bellholy!" She summoned out another cat-like lady in a pink dress like she was a magic girl with pig tails and had white cat ears and a tail. She also had 2000atk points. Cat Bellholy, attack!" She jumped straight to the attack and gave a powerful kick that destroyed Daichi's tree and caused his life points to drop to 3500.

"I prefer to be the one to cause pain, and that's what you're getting!" Daichi said. "Thank you for destroying me tree. When he's destroyed, you lose another 500LP!" He claimed as Aoneko's life points dropped down to 3000. "There's more." That was when a tree grew right under her monster and latched itself right around her monster and she appeared to be in pain.

"What's happening?" Aoneko questioned.

"When you destroyed my Treevil Maple, it's special ability allows itself to equip on to your monster and drain it's power!" Daichi said as Bellholy's power dropped to 1500. Aoneko didn't like this, but there wasn't much she could do.

"I'll pay another 1000LP so that I can place two cards facedown." Aoneko said with the chains tightening around her and her life points dropped down to just 2000 just by setting her cards. 'I've already lost half of my life points after my first turn. I've got to do something about that Chain Energy of his or else I'm not going to last much longer.' She thought.

"My turn! My turn! I get to cause more pain!" Daichi cheered. "I draw!" He drew his next card and was excited on what he might do next. "I play Acorn of Treevil!" He said as his life points dropped to 3000. "This allows me to summon another level four or lower Treevil. I summon Treevil Oak!" Now he summoned out an evil oak tree as it came on the field with 1400atk points. "Next, I summon Treevil Sycamore!" He summoned an evil sycamore tree with it having 1800atk points with his life points dropping to 2500. "I now overlay my Treevil Oak and Treevil Sycamore and build the overlay network!"

"Overlay?! You can xyz summon?!" Aoneko said.

"You better believe I can!" Daichi said as his two monsters entered the overlay network. "Let evil grow like a tree that brings true pain! I xyz summon Treevil Manchineel!" He summoned another tree with fruit growing off of it and had a total of 2200atk points. "Yes! Yes! Pain! Pain! Pain! Treevil Manchineel, bring about so much pain by destroying her Cat Bellholy! Attack with Toxic Fruit Fling!" His monster shot a series of apples right at Bellholy. With Treevil Maple holding her down, it was like she was being tortured as the juice from the fruit was like acid. She cried out in pain until she was destroyed with Aoneko's life points dropping to 1300. "And now you'll suffer even more pain! When Treevil Manchineel destroys a monster, I can use one overlay unit to deal 800 more points of damage!"

'If that happens, I'm done for. I won't be able to play anything from my hand because of Chain Energy.' Aoneko thought.

"Deal more pain! More pain!" Daichi cheered as his monster used an overlay unit and shot another toxic apple right at Aoneko.

"I play my trap: Beast Spirit Ignition!" Aoneko called. "When a beast or beast-warrior is destroyed, this trap card gives me life points equal to the attack points of the destroyed monster!" She said as her life points increased to 3300. That was when the fruit hit her and burned against her with her life points dropping down to 2500.

"All you really did is make the pain last longer! Thank you for that!" Daichi said. "Treevil Maple has another ability! When a Treevil is destroyed while it was equipped to a monster, they return to my deck!" He said as he took his monster and returned it to his deck. "We've now reached the end of my turn and I get back the life points I gave up." He said as his life points went back to 3500. "You'll now only be able to use five cards in your hand. So do it! Cause yourself even more pain!"

"It's my turn!" Aoneko said as she drew her next card. 'I have to handle this carefully. I've only got five moves to make because of Chain Energy, but him destroying my monsters with that Treevil Manchineel will cause me to lose even more life points.' She's in a real bind, literally. She's got to handle this carefully or she'll end up loosing all of her life points. "I'm just going to set a monster and end my turn."

"Even that doesn't help you!" Daichi said as Aoneko was in even more pain as her life points dropped even more to 2000. "Yes. Put up little resistance and keep accepting all of that pain and pleasure I give!"

"You're the only one that is enjoying this sort of thing!" Aoneko said.

"But I want it to last!" Daichi said. "Keep holding out for as long as you can! It's my turn now!" Daichi drew his next card and he just kept getting more and more excited about all the kind of pain he can give to Aoneko and that means more pleasure to him. This guy is clearly psychotic. "I attack with Treevil Manchineel! Toxic Fruit Fling!" He had his monster attack again with her monster being White Cat Lady with it only having 800def points. She ended up getting destroyed. "And now I activate Treevil Manchineel's special ability! You lose another 800LP!" His monster used the ability again and blasted Aoneko with some fruit and she lost even more life points with them dropping down to 1200. She's in real trouble here.

...

Fie

Laguna might have fallen, and Daichi might be dealing with Aoneko at the moment, but there was still Fie. Fie kept himself hidden and was watching how things were unfolding.

"Looks like Daichi has the little cat girl right where he wants her." Fie said. "I just wish he stop enjoying himself and get it over with. As for me, I have other methods that are just as enjoyable and just as effective." He said as he was setting something up. If Fie is really as bad as Demon King and the others were told, this can't be good.

...

Aoneko

"You only have 1200LP. It does pain me that the end is coming soon, but you only have three moves left to make." Daichi said. "Now come on. Scream for me! Scream for me a sweet sounding cry of pain!"

"You're a real sicko, and I'm not giving someone like you a show like that." Aoneko said.

"You can try and resist all you want, but you can't hold out forever. Everyone has a breaking point." Daichi said. "It's adorable that you try to resist, but I want to see your face in pain! Will you beg for mercy?! Will you plead for the pain to stop?! Come on! Put on a show!"

"There will be a show, but it won't be for your entertainment." Aoneko said. She's right about that. Thanks to her streaming, people are watching and those people are telling others to watch as well. So many eyes are on her now. "With everyone watching, I'm not going to allow myself to be defeated by the likes of you. That creepy tree of yours and you are going down!" No matter how much pain she is being dealt with, she's able to resist whatever Daichi does. She's a tough girl, but will she be able to hold out long enough to beat him? It's time to dig deep and find some real strength or else Daichi is going to keep torturing her until she literally breaks into data.
