by bopdog111

Remake of Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-VRAINS: Legacy of F. Years after the Dimensional War Yuri and Celina have fallen in love and started a family. Unfortunately for them and their young son his life will soon be sent on a dark path on par with the Dimensional War. With old and new family and friends, what fate awaits the Fujiki's, and what secrets from their past will come back to haunt them?

6. Dueling in the Data Storm!

Ulrich362: Well... this is going to be an interesting match for quite a few reasons wouldn't you agree Bopdog?

bopdog111: Yeah we do.

Ulrich362: All four duelists know each other's decks, it's going to be a Speed Tag Duel, the two Ignis Lilly and Yusaku have are at risk... oh and just to tip things against the Fujiki siblings even more, Rosaly's Vampire deck could frighten Lilly to the point that she isn't able to fight back making it a two against one match.

bopdog111: Well Vampires aren't gonna be Rosaly's Speed Duel Deck so Lilly's safe at that point.

Ulrich362: First I'm hearing about that, never mind my last point then. Let's see what happens, enjoy the chapter.

Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V, or VRAINS but we own the OCs!

Playmaker, and Nyx entered Link VRAINS together. When they arrived Nyx suddenly frowned. "You're Playmaker right?"

Playmaker nodded to her, "Yes. So you got Blue Angel's message as well."

"Yeah, apparently the Knights of Hanoi are challenging both of us to a duel." Nyx told him to try and convince SOL Technologies they weren't connected. "Honestly, after seeing your match with Gore I have to admit I might need the help."

"Well, let's find out why." Playmaker told her.

She looked hesitant but nodded as the two of them raced off to where Varis and Rosaly were waiting. They both flown off looking around before noticing both Hanoi siblings on the top of a building waiting for them with Varis' arms crossed. Seeing them Nyx shuddered but only Playmaker noticed before the two of them landed on the roof.

"Well we finally meet at last." Varis said at the two of them, "I am Varis the Leader of the Little Group called the Knights of Hanoi. And you already know Rosaly."

Rosaly gave a small bow when he directed to her before Varis turned to them, "And you both have something that belongs to us."

"Hey, we don't belong to anyone!" Ai snapped.

Varis sneered at both the Ignis in the Duel Disks, "Well now that we managed to find you, and the WATER Ignis, DARK Ignis all we gotta do is get you two for you both to give us the key to Cyberse World."

"Why do you want Ai, and his comrade?" Playmaker questioned him.

"Why does this concern you both?" Varis asked his own question, "Your acting as if the Hanoi did a wrong to both of you."

"The Hanoi are a group of hackers targeting Link VRAINS." Nyx pointed out. "I still remember your attack from before."

She then turned to Playmaker.

"Leave Varis to me, I owe it to Blue Angel to take him down."

"It's not gonna work like that Nyx." Rosaly told her before saying, "Both me, and my brother are fighting you both at the same time."

Nyx's eyes widened at that as they noticed her freeze up briefly before shaking her head. "That's hardly fair, you two are both Knights of Hanoi while Playmaker and I haven't ever dueled as a team. I've seen his skill against Gore but that still gives you two a huge advantage."

"Don't try to pretend you both don't know each other." Varis stated simply, "In this part of VRAINS, we are not being seen by SOL so your free to refer to yourselves as what you both truly are."

"Wh... what are you talking about?" Nyx asked uncertainly. 'No way, there's no way they could know that... nobody could.'

"Your both brother, and sister." Varis stated simply.

Playmaker only narrowed his eyes with a glare, "And how did you know?"

"Me, and my sister are well versed in bonds of siblings, we been into it long enough to figure out who are siblings or not." Varis answered that question.

"So you can stop the charade now, and just accept the truth right now." Rosaly said placing her hands on her hips, "SOL is not seeing this match so you both are free to refer to you both as brother, and sister right now."

"Fine, so what if you know?" Nyx snapped before glaring angrily at them. "You Knights of Hanoi are going to pay for what you did to my brother! When we beat you, we want you to tell us everything!"

"Fine, but when we win the Ignis are ours!" Varis called as a Data Storm built up allowing the four to take on boards as he smirked, "I'll create a fitting stage for our battle!"

With a wave of his arm the deserted city suddenly begin changing from a natural disaster turning into a hellish landscape.

"Now the hellish duel begins now!" Varis called as they all armed themselves, "For this match we're each sharing the same field, life points, and graveyard. However even though we can't see our partner's hands, we can use whatever cards they have on their field."

"What about our Skills? Only one per team?" Playmaker inquired as he and Nyx got on their Duel Boards.

"We can use all of our Skills but not on the same turn." Rosaly answered.

"Fine, then let's get started." Nyx mentioned. "I'll go first."

"DUEL!"

The female Ignis said to Nyx worried, "Nyx be careful! We seen what they can do, and if their both Cracking Dragon's true owners, we can be certain their gonna try to finish this fast."

Nyx 1st Turn:

"I know." she replied. "I start with two facedown cards and one monster in defense mode." Nyx stated. "That's all for now."

"Then the effects of Construct, Core, and Falco all activate. Core returns El Shaddoll Fusion to my hand, Falco summons himself in face-down defense mode, and El Shaddoll Construct sends Shaddoll Beast to the graveyard who's effect activates letting me draw a new card."

Nyx drew as Rosaly nodded before saying, "Well I have an effect of my own. Uni-Zombie sends a card from my hand to the graveyard to increase Construct's level by 1."

She discards a card as Construct glowed.

Construct: (LV: 8 + 1 = 9)

"Increase Construct's level?" Nyx asked hearing that.

"Then by sending a Zombie to my graveyard, Uni-Zombie increases Construct's level once more." Rosaly said sending a second card.

Construct: (LV: 9 + 1 = 10)

"What is she doing?" Nyx asked the female Ignis.

The female Ignis answered, "I don't know..."

"Well here's an answer." they looked as Rosaly called, "I activate Mezuki's effect in the graveyard! I banish this card in order for him to summon a Zombie from the graveyard! Necroworld Banshee rise up!"

What rose up was a ghost girl having long hair, and elf ears with a long white robe on looking ill.

---

"Summoning a monster from the graveyard." Playmaker noted.

"And that's the least. Level 3 Uni-Zombie tune now with level 4 Necroworld Banshee!" Rosaly called with a rose arm.

Shocked Playmaker, and Nyx both watched as Uni-Zombie turned to 3 rings while Necroworld Banshee passed through the rings turning into 4 stars of energy.

(LV: 3 + 4 = 7)

"Dragon of Necromancy! Rise once more from the dead by drinking the life of your enemies! Synchro Summon! Level 7, Red-Eyes Zombie Necro Dragon!"

"A Synchro Summon, just like Varis." Playmaker noted.

"For every Zombie on the field, and in the graveyards, my Dragon gets 100 points." Rosaly explained.

Necro Dragon: (ATK: 2400 + (100 * 3) = 2700/DEF: 2000 + (100 * 3) = 2300)

"Why do I have a feeling you're not finished?" Playmaker questioned.

"Cause I'm not." Rosaly said revealing Banshee's card, "I can banish Banshee to activate a field spell. First though with a Zombie lost from the graveyard, Necro Dragon loses points."

Necro Dragon: (ATK: 2700 - 100 = 2600/DEF: 2300 - 100 = 2200)

"There's only one field spell you'd play now, but... I thought you played vampires." Nyx mentioned before shuddering slightly and shaking her head. "Did losing to Gore cause you to give up?"

"Oh, I don't. Vampires are my ideal Deck, but I happen to prefer using this kind of Deck on Speed Duels." Rosaly said before pulling out a card showing it, "And one that revolves around this!"

---

(Field Zone)

Zombie World

Field Spell Card

All monsters on the field and in the GYs become Zombie monsters. Neither player can Tribute Summon monsters, except Zombie monsters.

With the spell's activation Construct shuddered turning into an undead version of herself while Necro Dragon roared loudly.

Construct: (Zombie)

Necro Dragon: (ATK: 2600 + (100 * 2) = 2800/DEF: 2200 + (100 * 2) = 2400)

Nyx gasped in shock before Ai cried, "W-What the what!?"

Rosaly explained, "It's the Field Spell, I just used. Zombie World is a Field Spell that changes all monsters on the field, and graveyard into Zombies also we are not allowed to Tribute Summon non Zombies. And combine this with Necro Dragon it makes him devastating."

Playmaker frowned. "Your monster is as powerful as Construct."

Rosaly sets a card, "And now Necro Dragon attack Falco!" Necro Dragon charged an attack firing it at Falco who flipped up before she called, "Zombie World, and Necro Dragon's effects!"

Falco: (Zombie)

Necro Dragon: (ATK: 2800 + 100 = 2900/DEF: 2400 + 100 = 2500)

Nyx frowned at that. Falco shattered before Rosaly raised an arm, "This then activates another of Necro Dragon's abilities! Whenever a Zombie is destroyed in battle, it can revive another Zombie from either our graveyards."

"So you're summoning Nyx's Shaddoll Beast." Playmaker noted.

Beast rose up growling.

Playmaker turned to Nyx, "My turn, Nyx, I'll give us an edge."

She nodded. 'All I left you is Construct, which means it's entirely up to what you can play.'

Rosaly raised her arm up, "Zombie World, and Necro Dragon's effect!"

Necro Dragon: (ATK: 2900 + 100 = 3000/DEF: 2500 + 100 = 2600)

Rosaly rose her arm, "Zombie World, and Necro Dragon's effect!"

Necro Dragon: (ATK: 3000 + 100 = 3100/DEF: 2600 + 100 = 2700)

"Gadget then summons a Level 2 or lower monster from the graveyard but it's effects are negated!" Playmaker called before crying, "So now, come Swap Cleric!"

A small blue monster holding a staff rose up.

Hearing that she looked uncertain but nodded. "Go ahead."

"Appear the circuit that leads to the future!" Playmaker called as the circuit appeared, "The summoning conditions are three monsters!"

Construct, Gadget, and Swap Cleric all flew up entering the arrows.

"Link Summon! Link 3, Powercode Talker!"

Rosaly rose her arm again, "Zombie World, and Necro Dragon's effect!"

Necro Dragon: (ATK: 3100 + 100 = 3200/DEF: 2700 + 100 = 2800)

Nyx frowned. 'It isn't strong enough.'

Necro Dragon: (ATK: 3200 + 100 = 3300/DEF: 2800 + 100 = 2900)

"Swap Cleric them allows me to draw a card as long as Powercode Talker loses 500 points!" Playmaker called drawing.

Powercode Talker: (ATK: 2300 - 500 = 1800)

"Don't forget, since Construct went to the graveyard Shaddoll Core returns to my hand." Nyx added.

"Please tell me you have a plan." Ai mentioned nervously.

Playmaker only said, "I set two cards." He places down the cards before calling, "Powercode Talker's ability activates!" Powercode Talker readied it's grapnel, "One monster loses it's abilities until the end of the turn!"

"What?" Rosaly asked surprised.

"Wire Restruction!" Powercode Talker shot it's grapnel gripping on Necro Dragon.

Necro Dragon: (ATK: 3300 - 900 = 2400/DEF: 2900 - 900 = 2000)

Rosaly grunted before saying, "Your monster's still not strong enough against Necro Dragon!"

Playmaker only grinned, "Are you sure?" Rosaly blinked before he called, "Powercode Talker attack Necro Dragon!" Powercode started to charge in ahead from his wire on the grapnel at a very fast speed with rocket boosters on his back.

"What are you doing?" Ai questioned.

Playmaker called, "Powercode Talker's ability activates! During battle it's attack points becomes double it's original by Tributing a monster it's linked to!"

"So that's why!" Rosaly widen her eyes as Gadget Token vanished on Playmaker's field.

Powercode Talker: (ATK: 1800 + 2800 = 4600)

Rosaly grunted at this as Playmaker called, "Power Termination Smash!" Powercode Talker punched through Necro Dragon as it roared shattering while the two Hanoi Siblings hang onto their Duel Boards. (Varis/Rosaly: 1800/Hand: (Varis: 5/Rosaly: 3))

"So far so good." Ai grinned. "One more good hit and this duel is over."

Playmaker told them, "I end my turn."

Playmaker's Hand: 3/Field with Rosaly: Powercode Talker (Extra Monster Zone), Two Set Cards

Varis 1st Turn:

Varis only smirked, "Then, it's my turn. And I don't intend to give you both an easy road, get ready!"

Hearing that Nyx and Playmaker both tensed at that. Varis drew before calling, "As you both have a Link Monster, I can summon Gateway Dragon!"

A golden gate appeared before opening where what emerged was a brown serpent dragon that has three arms before turning undead.

---

"Then appear the circuit that lights up our path!" the circuit appeared as he called, "The summoning conditions are at least 2 Effect Monsters! I use Shaddoll Beast, Gateway Dragon, and Triggering Wurm in the Link Markers!"

The three flew up entering the top, bottom-right, and bottom-left arrows.

"Borrelcode?" Nyx cried in shock hearing that.

"Wait, it combines your deck and his?" Ai asked Playmaker.

Playmaker didn't say anything before Varis called, "Don't stare for long cause Triggering Wurm's effect activates! When used to Link Summon a DARK monster, it revives in attack mode where that monster is but it can't be used for a Link Summon!"

Triggering Wurm rose up again. (Attack Position/Zombie)

"I set a monster." Varis sets a monster before adding, "Then I set 2 cards." Two face-downs appeared before he called, "And now Borrelcode attack Powercode Talker!"

The dragon rose up charging a blast before Varis added, "Borrelcode's ability activates! As three monsters were used to summon it, all monsters on the field are destroyed!"

"What?" Nyx questioned as all the monsters shattered.

Varis added, "And when Triggering Wurm is destroyed by a Link monster's ability, I draw a card!" Varis drew before Rosaly added, "Then I activate Haunted Shrine!"

"This allows me to take a Zombie from our graveyard, and summon it!" Rosaly called, "Rise back Necro Dragon!"

Necro Dragon popped out of the portal roaring loud.

Necro Dragon: (Attack Position)

"Wait, how many points does that dragon have now?" Ai asked nervously.

"With Gateway Dragon, Triggering Wurm, DMZ Dragon, and Borrelcode in my graveyard that's 400." Varis smirked.

Rosaly added, "Then with just Uni-Zombie in mine that's 100."

"Along with Powercode Talker, Swap Cleric, and Cyberse Gadget forming 300." Playmaker mentioned.

Nyx finished, "Finally Construct with Flaco, and Beast for another 300."

"All together equals 1100 including itself for a grand total of 1200!" Rosaly called as Necro Dragon powered up largely roaring loud.

Necro Dragon: (ATK: 2400 + (100 * 12) = 3600/DEF: 2000 + (100 * 12) = 3200)

"And we have nothing to protect our life points!" Ai panicked.

Varis called, "Go Necro Dragon attack them directly!"

"Necromancy Roar!" Rosaly added.

Forming a large green blast of the undead Necro Dragon fired the attack at the two siblings. The two of them grunted as they were blasted.

(Playmaker/Nyx: 0400/Hand: (Playmaker: 3/Nyx: 3))

"Are you okay Nyx?" the female Ignis asked her worried.

"I think so." she nodded.

"You alright Playmaker?" Ai asked worried.

Playmaker slowly stood up, "I'm fine."

'If only it was a Quick Effect then I be able to summon Zeroboros to finish this.' Rosaly thought before shrugging, 'Ah well.'

"I end my turn." Varis ended with a smirk.

Nyx 2nd Turn:

Nyx looked at her deck nervously. 'This... I don't have anything strong enough to turn this duel around or keep us from losing.'

"You can always give up here, and surrender the Ignis." Rosaly offered her.

Hearing that Nyx's eyes widened. "I'm not giving up anything to the Hanoi, I draw!"

She drew her card and looked at her hand before her eyes widened. 'This is... could that work?'

"I activate my field spell, Curse of the Shadow Prison!"

"There's more, the effect of of Shaddoll Dragon destroys Zombie World, and Naelshaddoll Ariel can banish three cards in the graveyard, so I pick Borrelcode Dragon, Unizombie, and the Zombie World I just destroyed." Nyx smiled.

"Gh!" the two Hanoi Siblings watched as three vanished with Zombie World, and the only Zombie monster gone Necro Dragon gotten a big drop of power.

If this card is sent to the GY by a card effect: You can add 1 "Shaddoll" monster from your Deck to your hand, except "Shaddoll Hedgehog". You can only use 1 "Shaddoll Hedgehog" effect per turn, and only once that turn.

---

"Battle, El Shaddoll Winda attack Red-Eyes Zombie Necro Dragon!"

"Huh why!?" Ai asked shocked at this as Winda charged in ahead.

Red-Eyes Zombie Necro Dragon fired a blast destroying Winda as Nyx added El Shaddoll Fusion to her hand.

(Playmaker/Nyx: 200/Hand: (Playmaker: 3/Nyx: 2))

Nyx's eyes suddenly widened in horror as she realized her fatal mistake. "I... end my turn." 'Big brother... sorry.'

Nyx's Hand: 2/Field with Playmaker: Curse of the Shadow Prison (Spellstone Counters: 2), Shaddolll Hedgehog (Attack Position)

"Don't apologize." Playmaker told her before turning to her, "That move saved us both."

She looked at him in disbelief.

"Um Playmaker... you mind explaining how leaving an unprotected 800 point Hedgehog to fight a 2400 point dragon when we have only 200 life points saved anything?" Ai snapped.

"Quiet." Playmaker told him which made him stop.

"Meanie." Ai grumbled.

Rosaly 2nd Turn:

"My turn!" Rosaly drew.

Playmaker called, "I activate my face-down, Recoded Alive!"

"Hm?" Rosaly looked curious.

---

Recoded Alive

Normal Trap Card

Target 1 Link-3 Cyberse Link Monster you control or is in your GY; banish it, and if you do, Special Summon 1 "Code Talker" monster from your Extra Deck. If you control no monsters in the Extra Monster Zone: You can banish this card from your GY, then target 1 of your banished "Code Talker" monsters; Special Summon it.

---

"I banish 1 Link 3 Cyberse from the graveyard so that, I can summon a Code Talker different from it instantly! I banish Powercode Talker to summon Encode Talker!"

What rose was a blue warrior holding a large light shield.

---

Link Markers: Top, Bottom, Bottom-Right

2+ Cyberse monsters
Once per turn, before damage calculation, if your monster this card points to battles an opponent's monster with higher ATK than it: You can make that monster unable to be destroyed by that battle, also you take no battle damage from that battle. After that damage calculation, have this card or 1 monster it points to gain ATK equal to the ATK of that battled opponent's monster, until the end of this turn.

---

Rosaly looked confused before shrugging, "Whatever, this is a critical moment anyway! I activate my Skill, Plaguing Undead!" Her mask, and lines on her robe glowed just as purple smoke fogged the field.

---

Plaguing Undead

Rosaly's Skill

The user can pay 1000 LP to have all monsters on the field, and in the GY be treated as Zombie monsters during their turn only until the End Phase.

---

"Thanks to this, I don't need Zombie World to give Necro Dragon his boost!" (Varis/Rosaly: 0800/Hand: (Varis: 2/Rosaly: 4))

Necro Dragon roared loudly at this: (ATK: 2200 + 1600 = 3800/DEF: 2000 + 1600 = 3600)

"3800!" Nyx cried in horror.

"And give Necro Dragon a needed boost, I activate the spell Burial from a Different Dimension!" Rosaly called.

---

Burial from a Different Dimension

Quick-Play Spell Card

Target up to 3 banished monsters; return them to the Graveyard.

---

"So now Necroworld Banshee, Borrelcode Dragon, and Uni-Zombie goes back in the graveyard." Rosaly said placing the three back.

Necro Dragon: (ATK: 3800 + (100 * 3) = 4100/DEF: 3600 + (100 * 3) = 3900)

"And now Necro Dragon attack with Necromancy Roar!" Rosaly called as Necro Dragon charged an attack.

Playmaker called, "I activate the face-down, Shift!"

---

Shift

Normal Trap Card

When your opponent targets exactly 1 monster you control (and no other cards) for an attack, or with a Spell/Trap effect: Target another monster you control that would be an appropriate target; that attack/Spell/Trap now targets the new target.

---

"This changes the attack to something else!" Playmaker called as Hedgehog flew in front of Encode Talker.

"What's the point of that move?" Rosaly questioned.

Playmaker called, "This! Encode Talker's ability activates! When a monster it points too battles a monster with higher attack points, it isn't destroyed, and we take no damage!"

Encode built a barrier protecting Hedgehog from destruction. Seeing this Varis said, "Now I get what you meant. With Zombie World's absence, and the Extra Monster Zone cleared you summoned Encode Talker, and use Shift to protect your sister's monster in attack mode. That makes perfect sense when you said it saved you, and her."

Seeing that Nyx frowned and just looked down. 'Damn it... I let my emotions get the best of me and I didn't think things through, I thought I was past that but remembering what happened... well it's over now, my Skill can give Yusaku a clear shot to end this duel.'

Playmaker turned to her, "Nyx don't use your skill."

She blinked before her eyes widened and she nodded. 'Alright, i'll trust you. You've been the level-headed one during this match after all.'

She nodded to Playmaker as Rosaly ended her turn.

Rosaly's Hand: 3/Field: Red-Eyes Zombie Necro Dragon (Attack Position), Two Set Cards

Playmaker 2nd Turn:

"My turn!" Playmaker drew looking before telling Ai, "Start it up!"

"You got it!" Ai called with a nod before what appeared was the Data Storm tornado.

"So it finally appears." Varis smirked seeing this.

Rosaly smirked seeing that. Playmaker jumped up into the Data Storm reaching his hand out before Ai called, "Hey there's something really strong in here!"

"I activate my Skill! When I have 1000 or lower Life Points, I take 1 Cyberse from the Data Storm, and place that card in my Extra Deck! Neo Storm Access!"

---

Neo Storm Access

Playmaker's Skill

If the user has 1000 or less LP, the user randomly obtains a Cyberse monster from a nearby Data Storm and adds it to their Extra Deck.

---

A big form of a large dragon appeared from the Storm gathering in his hand as ge grabbed it with a grunt jumping out ready before looking at his card before looking at his drawn card, "With this we can win! Appear the circuit that leads to the-"

"Trap activate Destruction Ring!" Varis suddenly called.

---

Destruction Ring

Normal Trap Card

Destroy 1 face-up monster on your side of the field to inflict 1000 points of damage to both players' Life Points.

---

"What?" Ai questioned in shock.

"Wait, but that would mean..." Nyx started nervously.

"Exactly." Rosaly smirked as the ring destroyed Red-Eyes Zombie Necro Dragon creating a massive explosion.

They all screamed following the explosion.

---

Playmaker/Nyx: 0000

Hand: (Playmaker: 4/Nyx: 2)

Field: Encode Talker (Attack Position/Extra Monster Zone), Shaddoll Hedgehog (Attack Position)

Varis/Rosaly: 0000

Field: One Set Cards

DRAW!

---

"Hey, why exactly should this kind of match be a tie!?" Ai asked.

Varis smirked, "Oh don't fret the battle's only just beginning!"

Rosaly nodded with her before they manifested Data Storms. Seeing that Nyx and Playmaker looked stunned. They were both enveloped from this.

---

Outside...

"Oh no!" Cal cried catching everyone's attention.

"Cal, what's going on?" Celina asked him as they all walked over to him.

"Yusaku, and Lilly just confronted those two Knights of Hanoi that beat Blue Angel, and Gore. They got a Draw, and then their all swallowed by a Data Storm." Cal said furiously typing in.

"What do you mean swallowed?" Yuri questioned. "What happened to my children Cal?"

"I'm trying to figure it out!"

Suddenly a screened popped up as they looked to where a pink haired woman having a black face mask was at winking at them before turning the camera to inside the Data Storm where the siblings all four are on a rock ledge facing each other.

"Who was that?" Celina asked before frowning.

Skye looked shocked, "Was that... Ghost Gal?"

"Ghost Gal?" Yuri asked turning to her.

Skye nodded explaining, "She's an advanced hacker working for SOL, she, and Akira go way back together." She turned back to the screen, "But she carries her own agenda, and if she's there then she's helping us seeing what's going on."

"If she's connected to SOL that means they'll figure out who we are." Yuri frowned. "We need to get out of Den City as fast as possible."

"He's right, the moment they win this duel we have to head back." Celina agreed.

"I wouldn't go that far yet." Skye told them, "She's willing to keep a secret."

"We can't take that risk." Yuri pointed out turning to the screen. "If they learn Yusaku is Playmaker... who knows what they'll do."

"You two better head to Link VRAINS just in case something happens." Cal suggested to Yuri, and Celina.

The two of them nodded at that. "Into the VRAINS!"

---

In LINK VRAINS...

The two appeared beside Ghost Gal who blinked seeing them.

Yuri has on a cape, plants around his wrists, black boots, and purple clothing concealed in a mask.

Celina meanwhile has on a purple, and white dress with violet red long hair with a hair tie, having a tail the same color as her hair, and a mask that's the shape of a Cat.

"Leave, now." Yuri told her.

"Who are you?" Ghost Gal asked him.

"Venom, now leave." he repeated.

Ghost Gal shrugged, "Sorry but can't do that."

"What?" Venom questioned.

"Give us one good reason not to throw you into that Data Storm." Celina told her coldly.

"I'm a friend, and I'm sure Blue Angel told you both you can trust me." Ghost Gal answered before looking at the four, "Besides your friends wouldn't be able to see the match without my camera."

The two of them glared at her as she could feel the distrust in the air as they turned to the duel.

"It's fine if you both don't trust me. But what I ask is for you both to give me a chance. I maybe with SOL but I won't turn away from those in need." Ghost Gal told the two.

"... We'll be watching you." Celina told her.

---

Meanwhile...

Nyx was looking down with a frown.

"The Time to Speed Duel is over. It's time for a Master Duel." Varis declared at the two in front of him, and Rosaly.

"As you both know Master Duels are the true rules used by duelists everywhere where their are 5 Monster, and Spell/Trap Card Zones, 5 cards in our starting hand, and there is a Main Phase 2." Rosaly added as the Master Duel Field layout appeared in front of them.

"And Master Duels bring out the true power of Link Monsters. Which means Playmaker, and Nyx we will get to look at your full potential first hand." Varis smirked at the two of them.

Playmaker frowned, 'It almost sounded like they had been planning to duel us like this from the very beginning...' "Fine, we'll finish you two here."

Nyx shuddered slightly which everyone noticed. Varis raised his arm as a glowing card entered his Deck which made the two blink before they all readied their Duel Disks calling, "MASTER DUEL!"

Varis 1st Turn:

"I'll be taking the first turn." Varis said to them before saying, "And I activate the spell, Hanoi Landmark!"

A Continuous Spell showing a mask of the Knights of Hanoi with six different colored spheres in place appeared.

---

(face-up)

---

"What kind of card is that?" Nyx asked nervously while staring at Rosaly.

"One you won't forget. But let's not get hasty. Next off, I summon Gateway Dragon from my hand!"

Gateway Dragon's gate appeared before it opened showing it once more.

---

"Gateway Dragon's special ability then allows me to summon a Level 4 or lower Dark Dragon from my hand. So I chose to summon Silverrokket Dragon!"

Gateway Dragon opened his gate before what emerged from a silver bullet dragon similar to the other rokkets that battled Blue Angel before.

---

---

Seeing the monster Playmaker and Nyx both frowned.

"And now appear future circuit that lights up our path!" Varis called as the circuit appeared, "The summoning conditions is a Level 4 or lower Dragon!"

Gateway Dragon flew up entering the left arrow.

"Link Summon! Link 1, Striker Dragon!"

Striker Dragon rose up roaring.

---

"When Link Summoned, Striker Dragon adds Boot Sector Launch to my hand." Varis said taking the card from his Deck showing it.

Playmaker frowned hearing that.

"Then I activate Boot Sector Launch!" Varis called as the field spell appeared.

---

(Field Zone)

Boot Sector Launch

Field Spell Card

All "Rokket" monsters on the field gain 300 ATK/DEF. You can activate 1 of these effects;

● If your opponent controls more monsters than you do: Special Summon "Rokket" monsters with different names from your GY in Defense Position, up to the difference.
You can only use this effect of "Boot Sector Launch" once per turn.

---

"But it won't stay for long cause, I activate Hanoi Landmark's effect!" The spell he first used glowed, "It sends Boot Sector Launch to the graveyard!"

"Destroying your own Field spell?" Nyx asked in confusion.

"I didn't destroy it." Varis corrected before taking a card, "That allows me to use this card. Pseudo Space!"

A card of a inverted city appeared in front of the Hanoi Siblings.

---

(Field Zone)

Pseudo Space

Field Spell Card

Once per turn: You can banish 1 Field Spell Card from your Graveyard; until the End Phase, this card's name becomes that card's original name, and replace this effect with that card's original effects.

---

"Pseudo Space?" Playmaker questioned.

"I've never heard of that card." Nyx admitted.

"You won't forget it after this. It's effect allows it to make itself into one of the field spells in my graveyard until the end of the turn by banishing it. So now Pseudo Space now becomes Boot Sector Launch for this turn!" Varis called as Pseudo Space glowed bright turning into a transparent Boot Sector Launch.

Pseudo Space: (Name: Boot Sector Launch/Gains effects of Boot Sector Launch)

"A Field Spell that copies other Field Spells in the graveyard?" Nyx asked in shock as Playmaker frowned.

"A powerful card for a Tag-Duel, they planned for this from the start." he realized.

"And it gets better." Rosaly smirked as Hanoi Landmark glowed, "Cause since a Field Spell was just banished by Psuedo Space's effect, Hanoi Landmark's other effect activates."

"At the price at sending a card in my hand to the graveyard," Varis discarded a card as he smirked, "that same Field Spell it's effect banishes, goes back to the graveyard!" Boot Sector Launch's card appeared again in the graveyard.

Nyx and Playmaker both frowned at that.

"W-Wha-What!?" Ai cried shocked, "That means they can keep using that copycat field to their advantage!"

"Back to business, Boot Sector Launch's effect gives all rokkets 300 points!" Varis called as Pseudo Space's new effect glowed on Silverrokket.

Silverrokket: (ATK: 1900 + 300 = 2200/DEF: 100 + 300 = 400)

"Next, I activate Supply Squad!"

---

(face-up)

Supply Squad

Continuous Spell Card

Once per turn, if a monster(s) you control is destroyed by battle or card effect: Draw 1 card.

---

"Then Striker Dragon's special ability! I pick a monster on my field to destroy, so that I can add a Rokket from the graveyard to my hand!" Varis called as Striker Dragon glowed.

Nyx frowned hearing that. "That means you can summon a new monster at the end of your turn like you did against Blue Angel."

"You catch on quickly, and of course if you remember Rokkets can use there effects when targeted by a Link Monster by destroying themselves which is what I'll do so, since Silverrokket is being targeted by a Link Monster's special ability, I can destroy it to banish a card from either your Extra Decks!" Varis smirked as Silverrokket shattered as it's bullet form entered Striker Dragon as it roared.

"What?" Playmaker asked shocked.

"I'll get rid of the problem child. Accesscode Talker!"

Said Link Monster appeared before Striker Dragon fired a blast piercing through it sending it away to be banished.

"That's not good, that's his best monster." the female Ignis frowned.

Playmaker grunted as Varis added, "Then Supply Squad's effect activates." The spell glowed as Varis explains, "As a monster on my field was just destroyed, I am permitted to draw a new card." He drew as he said that.

"Anything else?" Playmaker asked him.

Varis sets a card, "I end my turn. And now with the turn over, Pseudo Space's effect ends so it turns back to normal."

Pseudo Space stopped glowing as he added, "Then as your sister said, I get to summon a new Rokket from my deck as Silverrokket was destroyed. Come Anthesrokket Dragon!"

A green, and black dragon having a needle on his head appeared.

Nyx smiled seeing the monsters.

"Not a bad start, but this duel is a long way from being over." Venom admitted before frowning. 'Especially since this duel could turn into a two against one handicap match very soon.'

Playmaker raise his arm, "Appear the circuit that leads to the future!"

The circuit appeared before Playmaker shows two fingers, "The summoning conditions are at least two Cyberse monsters!" He then shows a card in his hand, "In addition by using Micro Coder's ability in my hand, I use it to Link Summon a Code Talker!"

Clock Wyvern, the Clock Token, and Micro Coder all flew entering the top, left, and bottom arrows.

"Link Summon! Link 3, Shootingcode Talker!"

A blue version of the Code Talkers rose up readying a bow that has been built as a gauntlet.

At the end of each Battle Phase: You can draw cards equal to the number of monsters this card destroyed by battle this turn.

---

Celina smiled seeing the monster only to frown. 'Be careful.'

"When Micro Coder is used to Link Summon a Code Talker, I take a Cynet card from my Deck to my hand." Playmaker said adding a card before adding, "Now battle! And Shootingcode Talker's ability activates! For every other monster it points to, it gains another attack!"

Shootingcode Talker is currently pointing at Widget Kid making two attacks that Shootingcode is able to do. Nyx smiled at that before her eyes widened. "Wait, his facedown card!"

"I know Nyx." Playmaker said to his sister, "But, I have to take the risk! Shootingcode attack Anesthrokket Dragon!"

Shootingcode aimed at the small dragon firing an arrow which pierced Anesthrokket destroying it as Ai cheered, "Oh yeah, there he goes!"

"And attack Striker Dragon!" Playmaker called as Shootingcode aimed at the Link Dragon, "When Shootingcode used it's ability for consecutive attacks, and you only have 1 monster on the field it loses 400 attack points!"

Shootingcode Talker: (ATK: 2300 - 400 = 1900)

"Shooting Complete!"

Shootingcode Talker fired a second arrow striking Striker Dragon as the two braced themselves. (Varis/Rosaly: 3100/Hand: (Varis: 0/Rosaly: 5))

While drawing Varis said, "Don't forget due to Supply Squad's effect, I get to draw another card since you destroyed my monster!"

"Your not the only one! At the end of the battle phase, as Shootingcode destroyed a monster in battle, I draw how many cards I can equal to how many it destroyed!" Playmaker called drawing two cards.

"So far so good." Ai grinned.

Looking at his drawn cards Playmaker called, "I set two cards down, and end my turn."

"During this end phase, Antherokket's effect summons Rokket Tracer from my Deck." Varis said as his Tuner Rokket appeared.

Rosaly 1st Turn:

"Well not bad Playmaker. You certainly didn't disappoint based on how well you done... But now let's begin the real show! I draw!" Rosaly drew.

Varis called, "And while she does, I activate my face-down, Declaration of Rebirth!"

---

(face-up)

Declaration of Rebirth

Continuous Trap Card

Once per turn: You can declare 1 Type; all monsters in the GYs become the declared Type until the end of this turn.

---

"Once a turn, all monsters in the graveyards becomes whatever type I pick." Varis smirked before saying, "And I'm gonna chose Zombie!"

The trap glowed bright at this.

"This is bad." Celina frowned.

"The two Hanoi certainly have the advantage in terms of Psuedo Space, banishing Playmaker, and Nyx's resources, and now that Declaration of Rebirth card changing their monsters to whatever they want as to not hinder their playing styles." Ghost Gal said seeing this, "It's gonna take all of Playmaker, and Nyx's quick thinking to take down those two."

'She doesn't get it.' Venom frowned.

Rosaly smirked, "So thanks to my brother, I get to use this Book of Life!"

---

Book of Life

Normal Spell Card

Target 1 Zombie monster in your GY and 1 monster in your opponent's GY; Special Summon the first target, also banish the second target.

---

"So now, I take a Zombie from the graveyard, and summon it to the field! But of course you can't give life without taking it so for Anesthrokket's rebirth in life, it takes the energy of Clock Wyvern!"

Widening his eyes Playmaker watched as Clock Wyvern was banished from his graveyard.

"Revive Anesthrokket Dragon!" Anesthrokket rose back up changing back to a dragon as it's not in the graveyard anymore.

Anesthrokket Dragon: (Defense Position)

"Not good, now they have that dragon again." Ai mentioned nervously.

"And don't forget with Clock Wyvern gone from the graveyard, you can't access Clock Dragon anymore." Rosaly smirked to them as Playmaker grunted before she added, "Next up, I sacrifice Anesthrokket just so, I can summon a new monster!"

Anesthrokket vanished before she called, "Come Shadow Vampire!"

What rose up was a large black zombie like man as a shadow with red glowing eyes.

---

The moment it appeared Nyx took a completely horrified step back as everyone saw pure terror in her eyes.

"When summoned Shadow allows me to summon a Vampire from the Deck but only that monster can attack this turn! So come Vampire Retainer!"

What rose was a zombie hound that is white, and black mixed.

"And with Retainer Specially Summoned, I pay 500 of our points for me to take a Vampire Spell or Trap card to my hand." Rosaly said adding a card with a smirk. (Varis/Rosaly: 2600/Hand: (Varis: 1/Rosaly: 5))

Nyx started shaking even more violently at that.

"Then I activate Vampire's Desire!" Rosaly called using a second spell.

● If a Zombie monster(s) is Special Summoned from the GY: Draw 1 card.

"Not good, any ideas Playmaker?" Ai asked nervously.

Playmaker didn't say anything grunting as Rosaly added, "Next by sending this card to the graveyard." She shows Kingdom discarding it as she grinned, "Familiar rises from the graveyard!"

Familiar popped up chittering.

If this card is in your GY: You can send 1 "Vampire" card from your hand or face-up field to the GY; Special Summon this card, but banish it when it leaves the field. You can only use each effect of "Vampire Familiar" once per turn.

---

(Varis/Rosaly: 2100/Hand: (Varis: 1/Rosaly: 3))

"With Familiar summoned like that, I take a Vampire from my Deck to my hand." Rosaly smirked showing a big monster that has 3000 attack points, "In addition Sucker's special ability allows me to draw a card since, I just summoned a Zombie!" She drew at that.

That's when Nyx just screamed in terror and started violently trembling.

(A/N (Ulrich362): There's a big difference between her seeing someone else duel Vampires, and Lilly dueling against them herself. She was scared during Gore's match with Rosaly but she had Yusaku with her and Gore was dueling instead, the situation is a lot different this time.)

Varis called, "And then I activate Tracer's ability! By destroying a faceup card on the field, I get to summon a Rokket from my Deck! Mind if I use a card sis?"

"Go ahead, she's there for a reason." Rosaly smirked back to her brother.

"I destroy Sucker!"

Sucker shattered as Varis called, "I summon Shelrokket Dragon!"

A yellow barrel dragon rose up.

Shelrokket Dragon

During the End Phase, if this card is in the GY because it was destroyed on the field by battle or card effect and sent there this turn: You can Special Summon 1 "Rokket" monster from your Deck, except "Shelrokket Dragon". You can only use each effect of "Shelrokket Dragon" once per turn.

---

"Then Supply Squad's effect! I draw!" Varis drew from his spell's effect.

Rosaly called, "Now level 4 Rokket Tracer tunes level 2 Shelrokket Dragon, and Level 1 Vampire Familiar!"

The three flew up as Tracer turned to 4 rings while Shelrokket, and Familiar each turned to 3 stars synchronizing with Tracer.

(LV: 4 + 2 + 1 = 7)

"A Synchro Summon now?" Ai asked nervously.

"When Familiar leaves the field after being summoned by it's ability it's banished." Rosaly said a minor downside to her monster's effect.

"Dragon of Necromancy! Rise once more from the dead by drinking the life of your enemies! Synchro Summon! Level 7, Red-Eyes Zombie Necro Dragon!"

Necro Dragon popped back to the field once more roaring loud at the two.

---

Venom frowned seeing that.

"Now this is an overstep on the boundaries." Ghost Gal frowned also, "It was already hard enough the way she used that dragon in their Speed Duel. Now Declaration of Rebirth, and the Master Duel way here is gonna make it more difficult for them to beat. On top of that her teamwork with Varis is perfectly in sync."

"That... that's the real strength of the Hanoi." Celina frowned.

Rosaly smirked, "As you both remembered Necro Dragon gains 100 points for every Zombie on both our fields, and graveyard. And thanks to Varis' Declaration of Rebirth all the monsters are Zombies so there isn't a need for Zombie World cause of that."

"I have Striker Dragon, Shelrokket Dragon, Rokket Tracer, Gateway Dragon, Silverrokket Dragon, Anesthrokket Dragon, and Magnarokket Dragon from my graveyard so from my graveyard so that's 700." Varis smirked.

Rosaly added, "Then for me I have Shadow Vampire, Vampire Retainer, and Vampire Sucker so that's another 300. And Playmaker you got Micro Coder one monster, and you got no monsters in your own graveyard, Nyx so for now Necro Dragon is now 1100 points stronger!"

Necro Dragon roared loudly quickly making itself the most dominant on the field. (ATK: 2400 + (100 * 11) = 3500/DEF: 2000 + (100 * 11) = 3100)

Celina frowned more at that. 'This is bad.'

She turned to Venom who nodded.

'Right, worst case scenario we challenge them before they run.'

Playmaker grunted seeing how strong Necro Dragon is before Rosaly added, "As much as I want to charge in due to Shadow Vampire's special ability only the monster it summoned can attack this turn, and Retainer's in the graveyard so I can't attack. You both caught a lucky break." With that said she places two cards down, "But it's only just beginning."

Rosaly's Hand: 3/Field with Varis: Pseudo Space (Field Zone), Red-Eyes Zombie Necro Dragon (Attack Position/Extra Monster Zone/ATK: 3500/DEF: 3100), Hanoi Landmark (face-up), Supply Squad (face-up), Declaration of Rebirth (face-up), Two Set Cards

Nyx 1st Turn:

Nyx shook a bit gulping in fear. Everyone watching the duel noticed she was basically paralyzed in fear and wasn't even moving to look at her cards.

"Nyx!" Playmaker shakes her shoulder, "Nyx! Nyx!"

She was shaken but didn't respond for a few seconds before blinking shaking her head, "P-Playmaker?"

She was still shaking as she looked at him.

"Nyx, I know it's scary but, it's your turn. I'll protect you." Playmaker said to her.

"But... I don't know if I can..." Nyx said to him nervously.

Playmaker asked her, "These two are threatening our families... Would you let me fight them alone?" She blinked as he said, "I can't handle these two by myself, and their gonna go after others. Would you let them fight me by myself, and ignore you?"

Hearing that it filled Nyx with some vigor, and some determination as she takes a breath slowly relaxing.

"Yusaku..." Celina whispered with a small smile hearing that.

Filled with confidence Nyx reached, "It's my turn! Draw!"

Rosaly called, "While you draw me, and Varis have some effects to activate! First I use my face-down, Hanoi Field Trap!"

---

(face-up)

Hanoi Field Trip

Continuous Trap Card

If you don't control, "Pseudo Space" destroy this card. Once per turn, you can target 1 "Pseudo Space" you control: Activate it's effect as a Quick Effect. If this face-up card, 1 "Pseudo Space", or 1 "Hanoi Landmark" you control would be destroyed: You can discard 1 card from your hand instead for each of those cards.

---

"Then for me, Declaration of Rebirth turns all the graveyards back to Zombie infested dens!" Varis called as Necro Dragon growled becoming dominant once more.

"As for Field Trip, if Pseudo Space isn't on the field, this card destroys itself." Rosaly explained first the weakness of her trap.

"That likely means it has a powerful effect." Venom frowned.

"In exchange once a turn, I get to use Pseudo Space's effect to clone a Field Spell even though it's your turn!" Rosaly smirked at them before adding, "And finally if you try to destroy Field Trip, Pseudo Space, or Landmark with your effects, I can discard a card instead for each of those cards."

"What?" Ai questioned in shock.

"Wait so now their Pseudo Space is able to recycle Field Spells while also using it during either their turns, and has protection against destruction? That's too much!" Ghost Gal cried in shock.

'Lilly... don't worry.' Playmaker thought. 'We'll get through this together.'

"Now you two are doomed." Rosaly smirked to them, "No-one who has ever faced this combo has ever walked away victorious."

"Our field is perfect so now we are capable of using our Field Spells, and Graveyards unhindered, and able to always be stronger their your own fields." Varis smirked back at them.

"...Are you sure?" Nyx asked them.

Nyx raised a card, "I have a Field Spell of my own! I activate Magical Meltdown!"

Her Invoked Field Spell appeared in front of the two.

---

(Field Zone)

Magical Meltdown

Field Spell Card

When this card is activated: You can add 1 "Aleister the Invoker" from your Deck to your hand. The activation of your cards and effects that include an effect that Fusion Summons a Fusion Monster cannot be negated, also your opponent's cards and effects cannot activate when a monster is Fusion Summoned this way. You can only activate 1 "Magical Meltdown" per turn.

---

"When this card activates, I take Aleister the Invoker to my hand." Nyx said adding said monster.

"What?" Ghost Gal questioned. "Nyx never used that before."

"The second part of her Deck, Invoke has similarities to the Shaddoll cards." Venom told her, "She doesn't use it cause she uses it less then Shaddoll."

Ghost Gal looked surprised he knew that. Nyx then added, "Next, I summon Aleister!"

Aleister rose up with a grin.

---

"When summoned, I take the spell, Invocation to my hand!" Nyx said showing a spell.

"A Fusion Spell." Varis frowned seeing it. "A predictable move coming from you."

"Well now with Magical Meltdown in play all cards that include Fusion Summoning cannot be countered, and monsters summoned like that doesn't allow you to do anything!" Nyx said to him.

"A fitting move for the heir to two of the strongest Fusion Duelists to ever live." Rosaly noted.

"Well now I use Invocation!" Nyx called.

---

Invocation

You can only use this effect of "Invocation" once per turn.

---

"So now I fuse both Widget Kid, and Aleister by banishing them both!"

The two fused together.

"Sorcerer of the Summoners! Join together with the cybernetic kid, and form into a beast of boulder proportions! Fusion Summon! Level 8, Invoked Magellanica!"

What rose was a large brown beast growling linked to Shootingcode Talker.

"And since they were banished her dragon gets weaker." the female Ignis noted.

"It would if they we're in the graveyard. But they aren't." Playmaker pointed out before saying, "You both are not the only one's who's teamwork is good! I activate Recoded Alive!"

---

If you control no monsters in the Extra Monster Zone: You can banish this card from your GY, then target 1 of your banished "Code Talker" monsters; Special Summon it.

---

"So now by banishing Shootingcode Talker from the field, I summon another Code Talker in his place!" Shootingcode flew up banishing as Playmaker then takes a card, "Come, Encode Talker!"

Encode Talker jumped up in the Extra Monster Zone.

"Perfect, if this works it's over." Ai mentioned confidently.

Nyx then added, "I activate Shaddoll Fusion!"

---

Shaddoll Fusion

If your opponent controls a monster that was Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, you can also use monsters in your Deck as Fusion Material. You can only activate 1 "Shaddoll Fusion" per turn.

---

"I now Fusion Summon a Shadoll by using monsters from my hand or field! But thanks to Necro Dragon, I can also use monsters from my Deck!" Nyx called.

"And just like with Invocation, Magical Meltdown prevents you from doing anything to stop this Fusion Summon." Playmaker added.

"So I fuse Shaddoll Beast with Squamata from my Deck!" Nyx called as the two were fused together.

"Beast, and Squamata of the puppeter's strings! Join form into a union of the marionette! Fusion Summon! El Shaddoll Winda!"

Winda shot up once more linked with Encode Talker.

---

Necro Dragon: (ATK: 3500 + (100 * 2) = 3700/DEF: 3100 + (100 * 2) = 3300)

"Thanks to Beast's effect, I draw, and due to Squamata, Necro Dragon is destroyed!"

Squamata fired a blast as Rosaly grunted calling, "You mean could've cause, I activate my face-down, Dark Illusion!"

---

Dark Illusion

Counter Trap Card

When a Spell/Trap Card, or monster effect, is activated that targets a DARK monster on the field: Negate the activation, and if you do, destroy that card.

---

"I can't use cards when a monster is Fusion Summoned but your using a monster effect so Dark Illusion stops Squamata's ability from destroying Necro Dragon!" Rosaly called as Necro Dragon was defeated before adding, "Then I activate Pseudo Space's effect! By banishing Kingdom from the graveyard it becomes it this turn!"

"And by discarding a card Kingdom returns to the graveyard!" Varis said discarding a card as Vampire Kingdom entered the graveyard again.

Pseudo Space: (Name: Vampire Kingdom/Gains effects of Vampire Kingdom)

"Not that card." Ai frowned while Nyx shuddered slightly.

Nyx then grew a serious look, "Well... I'm not gonna stand here scared anymore!"

'Lilly.' Venom thought hearing that.

Nyx called, "Magellanica attack Necro Dragon!" The fusion monster charged at the huge zombie.

"Wait, her dragon still has more points!" Ai panicked.

Playmaker called, "Don't forget! Encode Talker's ability activates! When a monster it points too battles a monster with higher attack points, it isn't destroyed, and we take no damage!"

"Well Kingdom's effect gives Necro Dragon 500 points!" Rosaly called as Pseudo Space glowed.

Necro Dragon: (ATK: 3700 + 500 = 4200)

The attack was blocked as he added, "Then Winda gains points equal to Necro Dragon's points!"

Playmaker called, "Don't forget! Encode Talker's ability activates! When a monster it points too battles a monster with higher attack points, it isn't destroyed, and we take no damage!"

"Well Kingdom's effect gives Necro Dragon 500 points!" Rosaly called as Pseudo Space glowed.

Necro Dragon: (ATK: 3700 + 500 = 4200)

The attack was blocked as he added, "Then Winda gains points equal to Necro Dragon's points!"

Winda: (ATK: 2200 + 4200 = 6400)

"6400, that's enough to end the duel." Ghost Gal realized.

"Ah!" Rosaly looked shock as Varis grunted before Nyx called, "Winda attack Necro Dragon!"

Winda charged in striking Necro Dragon only for Varis to call, "I activate Kuriboh's effect in my hand to nullify the damage!"

The damage was nullified as the two braced themselves as Rosaly's monster was destroyed.

"Kuriboh now of all times?" Celina asked in shock.

As Varis drew from Supply Squad, Nyx grunted before calling, "In that case Encode attack them directly!"

Encode Talker charged in but Varis called, "I summon Chobham Armor Dragon from my hand!"

A small armored dragon with no wings appeared.

---

"Huh?" Nyx asked surprised.

"When you attack directly, I can summon this card from my hand!" Varis called.

"Yeah but due to it's effect we take only halve the damage!"

As Rosaly said that Encode struck Chobham which caused it to lose it's armor as the two braced themselves. (Varis/Rosaly: 0950/Hand: (Varis: 0/Rosaly: 3))

"So close, just a little bit more." Ai mentioned.

Rosaly grunted before setting a card, "I end my turn."

"During this End Phase, Pseudo Space returns to normal." Rosaly said as the spell reverted back.

"With our Life Points lower, and you have a monster from the Extra Deck, I draw 2 cards!" Varis said drawing two cards.

"This is bad." the female Ignis frowned.

"Then I activate Pseudo Space's effect!" Varis called as Pseudo Space glowed transforming to Boot Sector Launch.

Pseudo Space: (Name: Boot Sector Launch/Gains effect of Boot Sector Launch)

"And with the discard of Borrel Guard," He discarded a card as Boot Sector Launch is added again, "Winda's effect is negated!"

El Shaddoll Winda: (Effects Negated)

"Then I activate Boot Sector Launch's effect! Since you both have more monsters then we do, I can summon rokkets from my graveyard equal to the difference!"

"Two monsters." Nyx frowned.

"Then appear circuit that lights up our path!" the circuit appeared as Magnarokket, and Chobham entered the bottom, and left arrows, "Link Summon! Link 2, Quadborrel Dragon!"

"When Chobham Armor Dragon is used to Link Summon we're allowed to add a monster from our graveyards to our hands. I add Magnarokket to my hand." Varis added the card.

"I add Micro Coder to my hand!" Playmaker showed the card.

Varis called, "I activate Quadborrel's ability! I discard a card to destroy a monster! Destroy Encode Talker!" Quadborrel charged a blast attacking Encode Talker destroying him as they grunted, "When this effect destroys a Link Monster, I can summon Rokkets equal to the destroyed monster's Link Rating! Revive Shelrokket, Magnarokket, Silverrokket!"

The three rokkets emerged from the graveyard.

Shelrokket: (Defense Position/ATK: 1900 + 300 = 2200/DEF: 100 + 300 = 400)

Magnarokket: (Defense Position/ATK: 1800 + 300 = 2100/DEF: 1200 + 300 = 1500)

Silverrokket: (Defense Position/ATK: 1100 + 300 = 1400/DEF: 2000 + 300 = 2300)

"This is bad, what's he doing now?" Celina asked nervously.

"And now appear the future circuit that lights up my path!" the circuit appeared again before Magnarokket, Tracer, and Quadborrel all flew up entering the right, left, bottom-right, and bottom-left arrows.

Skye meanwhile widen her eyes, "Oh no... He's summoning that!"

"My new wind that pierces through the closed world! Link Summon! Appear, Link 4 Borreload Dragon!"

---

"That's the monster you used against Blue Angel!" Nyx cried seeing it.

Varis smirked, "And I'm sure you remember what it can do! Borreload's ability activates! Anti-Enemy Varrett! One monster loses 500 attack, and defense points, and you can't activate a card against this effect's activation! I lower Shelrokket's attack points!"

Borreload roared loud weakening Shelrokket.

"He lowered his monster's attack points?" Ai asked confused.

Varis called, "Shelrokket's ability activates! When a Link Monster used it's special ability on Shelrokket, I can destroy it to destroy a monster in the same column as it!" Shelrokket shattered as it entered Borreload's gun barrel body as it charged energy, "And any monster next to that destroyed monster are also destroyed!"

Borreload fired a hail of bullets relentlessly striking both of Nyx's fusion monsters destroying them both with ease as the two siblings stepped back shocked at how easily Varis destroyed their monsters. Seeing that Venom glanced at Celina as the two of them jumped down to get closer to the duel and to challenge Varis and Rosaly if it came to that.

Nyx grunted, "When Winda is sent to the graveyard, I add Shaddoll Fusion back to my hand." She shows her Fusion card again.

"But not on your field! Borreload attack them directly!" Varis called as Borreload charged a large attack aiming at them, "Take this! Varrel Thunder Cannon!"

Borreload fired a large strike hitting the two as they cried out pushed back. (Playmaker/Nyx: 1000/Hand: (Playmaker: 3/Nyx: 4))

"Are you ok!?" the female Ignis asked Nyx concerned.

"Y-Yeah..." Nyx grunted as they both struggled getting up.

Varis drew with a smirk before adding, "I place 1 card down, and end my turn. With this Shelrokket summons Autorokket!"

Autorokket popped up ready.

Playmaker 2nd Turn:

Playmaker take several breathes before calling, "I draw!" He grunted going to a knee breathing.

"Playmaker!" Nyx cried seeing that before running to help support him. "Let me help."

She helped him up as he grunted, 'If I don't do something we're sure to lose... But what can we do?' He, and Nyx noticed the spot where his Extra Deck is at is glowing blue.

"This is..." Playmaker trailed off before looking determined, "I'm betting everything here! I summon Dotscaper!"

"What is he doing?" Rosaly questioned.

"I'm betting everything here! Appear circuit that leads to the future!" the circuit appeared as he called, "The summoning conditions are at least 2 monsters! I set Link 3 Shootingcode Talker, and Dotscaper in the Link Markers!"

The two flew up entering the same Link Arrows as Accesscode Talker.

"What?" Varis questioned in shock.

"Part of the Miracle Star! Rain down from the heavens to give mercy! Become the guardian! Link Summon! Link 4, Firewall Dragon!"

From that what materialized was a white armored dragon with a blue flesh like interior having white wings on it's body, and large blue, and white striped wings flying to the field roaring loud.

Talkback Lancer: (Co-linked with Firewall Dragon)

Seeing it Varis cried in shock, "So that was the card you got from the Data Storm!"

"It's fine brother, it's not powerful enough to help them." Rosaly pointed out.

"Until you know it's special ability! Emergency Escape!" Playmaker called as Firewall roared charging blue electricity, "For every monster co-linked with Firewall a monster in our graveyards, or fields returns to the hand!"

"Borreload Dragon can't be affected by that special ability!" Varis countered.

"Ah really!? That's a ripoff!" Ai groaned.

"In that case, I chose Red-Eyes Zombie Necro Dragon from Rosaly's graveyard instead." Playmaker said to them.

She frowned returning her Synchro Monster to her Extra Deck.

"Then I use Micro Coder from my hand, and Talkback Lancer to Link Summon!" The two jumped up entering the arrows, "Link Summon! Link 2, Code Talker Inverted!"

Inverted lowered down with Firewall.

Firewall Dragon: (Co-linked with Code Talker Inverted)

"Firewall Dragon, Code Talker Inverted, and Micro Coder's effect activates!" Playmaker called at this, "When a monster is destroyed in battle or sent to the graveyard Firewall summons a Cyberse from my hand once a turn! Inverted summons a Cyberse from my hand to a zone it points to when Link Summoned! Finally Micro Coder adds a Cynet Spell or Trap to my hand!" He adds a card as he said that.

"What are you plotting?" Varis inquired.

"For Firewall, I summon Cyberse Gadget!" Gadget rose up at this.

---

Firewall Dragon: (Co-linked with Powercode Talker)

"What's the point of that move?" Rosaly questioned. "Powercode Talker isn't pointing to Firewall Dragon so you can't use its abilities and like Varis told you Borreload Dragon is immune to your effects."

Playmaker called, "When Gadget is sent to the graveyard, a Gadget Token is summoned!"

The small drone rose up.

---

(Defense Position)

Gadget Token

ATK: 0

This card can be used as a "Gadget Token".

*If used for another Token, apply that Token's Type/Attribute/Level/ATK/DEF.

Seeing this Varis realized, "This was the same move he used to destroy Necro Dragon last time!"

"Wait, but that would mean..." Rosaly started nervously.

"Powercode Talker attack Borreload Dragon!" Powercode grabbed Borreload with his grapnel charged in ahead at a fast speed like last time, "Powercode Talker's ability activates! During battle it's attack points becomes double it's original by Tributing a monster it's linked to!"
Gadget Token vanished on Playmaker's field as Powercode powered up.

Powercode Talker: (ATK: 1300 + 2300 = 4600)

Varis smirked, "I activate the trap, Mirror Force!"

---

Mirror Force

Normal Trap Card

When an opponent's monster declares an attack: Destroy all your opponent's Attack Position monsters.

"Please tell me you have some way to stop that from wiping out all your monsters." Ai panicked.

Playmaker grunted, "Go Cynet Backdoor!"

---

Cynet Backdoor

Quick-Play Spell Card

Target 1 Cyberse monster you control; banish it, and if you do, add 1 Cyberse monster from your Deck to your hand, whose ATK is lower than that monster's original ATK. During your next Standby Phase, return that monster banished by this effect to the field, and it can attack directly that turn. You can only activate 1 "Cynet Backdoor" per turn.

---

"Firewall Dragon is banished until our next Standby Phase, and can attack directly!" Firewall vanished leaving Powercode to be destroyed as Playmaker added Lockout Gardna, "Then I add a Cyberse with less attack points to my hand from my Deck."

"That saves your dragon but not your life points." Varis smirked.

Playmaker looked at the card he added with Micro Coder's effect which is Cynet Conflict, 'No Code Talker means no Cynet Conflict...' "I end my turn."

Playmaker's Hand: 2/Field with Rosaly: Magical Meltdown (Field Zone), One Set Card

Rosaly 2nd Turn:

"Alright, I go!" Rosaly drew with a smirk, "And to finish this! I sacrifice Autorokket!" Autorokket vanished as she called, "To summon the count, Vampire Lord!"

---

Nyx shuddered seeing him while trying to stay calm.

"If you think he's scary wait until you see this one." Rosaly smirked as the lord started to glow changing shape, "By banishing him, I get to summon my true ace! Meet Vampire Genesis!"

Lord changed into a large demon musclebound version of himself with a large bat wing like heirloom behind him with large purple fangs, and red eyes, and demon claws on his body.

---

Everyone stared at the monster before Nyx shrieked at the top of her lungs and started trembling more violently than ever. Seeing the monster made both Venom, and Celina have feelings like they seen this monster before.

"That... they have two monsters with 3000 points!" Ai panicked. "No way... not like this!"

"And it gets worse DARK Ignis." Varis smirked before calling, "I use Declaration of Rebirth's effect to turn all monsters to Zombies!"

The trap glowed as Rosaly added, "Then I activate Vampire Genesis' special ability!" She shows Vampire Red Baron explaining, "By discarding a Zombie from my hand, I get to revive a Zombie with a lower level from the graveyard!" She discarded the card before calling, "So by discarding level 6 Vampire Red Baron, I get to summon a Level 5 or lower Zombie from my graveyard!"

"What is she bringing back now?" Venom questioned hearing that.

"Revive to the field Autorokket Dragon!" Autorokket rose up once more.

Autorokket: (Defense Position)

"Battle!" Rosaly called, "Genesis attack them directly!"

"Borreload's ability activates! Anti-Enemy Varrett!" Varis called as Borreload roared at Autorokket, "And with Autorokket the target of a Link monster's effect, I can send a spell or trap card to the graveyard!"

Autorokket shattered entering Borreload's barrel body firing a blast sending Nyx' face-down to the graveyard.

"Nyx do something!" Celina called.

Nyx blinked before seeing Genesis approaching as she widen her eyes calling, "Waking the Dragon's effect activates!"

"What?" Varis asked.

"Thanks to it, I can summon a monster from the Extra Deck, or Deck!" Nyx called as her Deck glowed. "Come Invoked Raidjin!"

A wind monster wielding a weapon appeared in Defense which made Genesis stop it's attack.

"Then Raidjin's effect activates! Genesis flips face-down!" Nyx quickly called as Raidjin conjure a spell as Genesis groaned flipping down set.

Rosaly's eye twitched growling, "Borreload destroy him!" Borreload fired a second attack destroying Raidjin easily.

Nyx let out a huge sigh seeing Genesis wasn't there anymore as Varis took a step back.

"Rosaly, his Cynet Backdoor!" Varis cried.

Rosaly blinked before widening her eyes, "Ah crap..."

Rosaly's Hand: 1/Field with Varis: Pseudo Space (Field Zone), Borreload Dragon (Attack Position), Vampire Genesis (set), Silverrokket Dragon (Defense Position), Hanoi Landmark (face-up), Hanoi Field Trip (face-up), Supply Squad (face-up), Declaration of Rebirth (face-up), One Set Card

Nyx 2nd Turn:

"My turn!" Nyx called drawing.

"During this Standby Phase, Firewall Dragon returns!" Playmaker called as Firewall burst out once more roaring loud.

"Even if you lower his attack points by 500 Firewall Dragon still has more than enough power to finish you two off!" Ai declared.

"Which means, you're going to explain everything." Venom told them.

"Ah hell!" Varis cursed.

"Firewall Dragon finish them off!" the two called as Firewall Dragon changed forms charging a big attack, "Tempest Terrahertz!"

Firewall Dragon launched a big blast passing by their field striking the two directly causing them to cry out collided against the rock formation behind them.

"That... it's over, our conflict with the Knights of Hanoi is finally over." Celina whispered.

The two breathed as the two Hanoi slowly rose up as Rosaly coughed, "How? Even after all of that, our best combos, our strategy with Declaration of Rebirth, and Pseudo Space, and especially hindering them... How did they beat us?"

Varis frowned at that. "Rosaly... It was my fault."

"Brother?" Rosaly blinked hearing that.

"It was my choice to duel them as a team, I underestimated what they were capable of Rosaly." Varis admitted to her. "This loss is entirely on my hands."

"Well now it doesn't matter." Ai said to them manifesting a demon form surprising them all, "Give me, and her back our bodies!"

He changed forward as Varis barely dodged but Ai chomped down his arm dispelling it in Data.

"Ryo... Varis!" Rosaly cried before throwing something at Ai to get him away from her brother.

Ai backed away before giving some data to the female Ignis, "Oh yeah! We're no longer bodyless!"

"Playmaker, Nyx." Varis told them as a green light suddenly enveloped him and Rosaly.

"Hey where are you two going, you owe us some answers!" Playmaker yelled at the two as they started floating up.

"We'll answer one question, and one question only." Rosaly told him.

"Was it you Hanoi that done the Lost Incident?" Nyx questioned.

Varis looked surprised hearing that before frowning. "No, the one's behind the Lost Incident were SOL Technologies employees. The Knights of Hanoi are correcting the mistake that was made ten years ago."

With that he and Rosaly vanished.

---

Ulrich362: Well, that was... it happened.

bopdog111: Yeah. We all seen Varis, and Rosaly's big powers when Tag-Teamed. Pseudo Space is another potential laden card that wasn't exploited due to not having a way to recycle the Field Spells it banishes.

Ulrich362: Though Varis managed to circumvent that weakness. And now Yusaku and the others know SOL had a hand in the incident ten years ago.

bopdog111: And next time is more screen time for Ghost Gal or Ghost Girl or whatever you want to call her.

Ulrich362: Sounds interesting. See you in the next chapter.

bopdog111: Be sure to review!
