bopdog111: SOL, and the Knights of Hanoi are in one big clash.
Ulrich362: True, and... something about a tower? Things are about to get intense to say the least.
bopdog111: Let's see shall we?
Ulrich362: Sounds good to me, enjoy the chapter.
Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V, or VRAINS but we own the OCs!
In Link VRAINS hundreds of people were screaming and running in terror as dozens of Knights of Hanoi were attacking them relentlessly as several of SOL Technologies Pawn Drones tried to hold them off. They were holding them back but the three Liuetenants, Faust, Baira, and Dr. Genome were destroying them with each against them.
Seeing this from SOL, Emperor grunted before telling Akira, "Akira, let's get Gore, and Emma to help us out."
"I'm already getting in touch with them sir." Akira mentioned. "Should I message them as well?"
"Yes. At this point we could use their aid." Emperor replied.
He nodded sending the message before turning. "Hayami, keep us informed if anything happens."
"Yes sir!" Hayami saluted.
Emperor then told Akira, "And Akira? I'm gonna go join the fight. Keep me notified if anything happens."
Akira's eyes widened before he nodded at that. "Of course."
Emperor walked off as Akira turned back to the battle.
In LINK VRAINS...
Dr. Genome was destroying the Pawn Drones with a smirk, "This is too easy! SOLs barely puts up a fight! Very soon the Ignis will be eradicated!"
"Too easy huh, then why don't I give you a real challenge?" questioned a male voice.
Hearing that Dr. Genome looked above seeing the Gore is there with a grin. Dr. Genome sneered, "The Charisma Duelist that defeated Rosaly..."
"So you've heard of me." Gore smirked. "Well unfortunately for you I'm going to take you down here and now."
Dr. Genome only smirked back, "Then this will be interesting. I'll take your DNA too! Come Data Gale!" At that a dome glowed around them before fading as they speed through.
Gore's eyes widened as he braced himself before racing after Dr. Genome.
"TIME TO SPEED DUEL!"

Dr. Genome 1st Turn:
"I'll be going first." Dr. Genome grinned looking at his hand, "This is a nice hand. I know what you do Gore."
"Is that a fact?" Gore questioned. "Then by all means go ahead."
"You pretend to be weak to your opponent, and then crush them in one blow." Dr. Genome smirked, "That's your entertainment style. It's pathetic."
"Your right."
Off-guard at that kind of reply Dr. Genome mentioned, "Huh? That's an unexpected response."
"You gonna talk to me to death?" Gore asked him.
Dr. Genome only smirked calling, "With no monsters on my field, by discarding 1 Helixx from my hand, I can summon Helixx Marmotroll without Tributing!" What rose was a chipmunk like monster holding a club.

"Level five on your first turn?" Gore questioned seeing that. "You're definitely a step above the others, I'll give you that much. But it won't help you beat me."
"You'll change your mind when you know Marmotroll's ability. The first time, I take battle damage involving Marmotroll is 0." Dr. Genome smirked to Gore.
"Not a bad move, so what else do you have planned for me?" Gore questioned.
Dr. Genome only grinned, "I end my turn."
Dr. Genome's Hand: 2/Field: Helixx Marmotroll (Attack Position)

"Now I'll mash up my Circuit. The summoning conditions are at least two Gouki monsters, I place Suprex and Bearhug in the Link Arrows. Circuit Combine! I Link Summon, Link 2 Gouki Jet Ogre!" Gore declared.

"Next the effects of my two Gouki's activate letting me add Gouki Headbatt and Gouki Twistcobra from my deck to my hand."
He adds the cards while Dr. Genome smirked, "It's all progressing like my analysis says."
"Keep talking, because I'm going to activate the spell Gouki Re-Match to summon Bearhug and Suprex from my graveyard in defense mode." Gore told him.

The ogre growled wielding it's axe.
"I set one card and now Gouki the Great Ogre attacks Helixx Marmotroll!" Gore called. "You might not take damage but your monster will be destroyed."
Great Ogre charged slashing down destroying Marmotroll but Dr. Genome didn't took damage.
"That ends my move." Gore told him.

"The power of this spell card revives two Helixx from the graveyard. However their effects are negated, have no attack or defense points, can't attack be tributed, or be used for a summon except for Link of a Helixx." Raising his arm, "Rise two Marmotrolls!"
Two identical monsters rose up.
Helixx Marmotroll: (ATK: 2600 - 2600 = 0/DEF: 0 - 0 = 0/Cannot be Tributed/Cannot attack/Cannot be used for a Link Summon except for a Helixx/Effects Negated)
"So you're planning to Link Summon." Gore noted.

"I set 1 card." he added before calling, "And now Gothiclone attack Gouki the Great Ogre!" Gothiclone charges at Great Ogre.
"What?" Gore questioned.
"Gothiclone's effect activates." Dr. Genome smirked, "When it battles it's attack points are equal to it's opponent!"
Gothiclone: (ATK: 0 + 2600 = 2600)
"In addition this card can't be destroyed by battle once per turn!" the Knight of Hanoi liutenant added.
"Well I can send Gouki Bearhug to the graveyard to keep Gouki the Great Ogre from being destroyed." Gore countered as his monster vanished.
The two clashed before heading back before Dr. Genome smirked, "Destroying your monster isn't my goal."
"Then what... wait, your Dreadrat!" Gore cried in realization.
"Somewhat." Dr. Genome smirked before revealing, "When Gothiclone uses it's effect to avoid being destroyed, I Tribute the monster next to it's Link to deal you damage equal to the attack points of that monster!"
Dreadrat flew towards Gore. Gore's eyes widened as he was hit.
(Gore: 2800/Hand: 3)
"I end my turn." Dr. Genome smirked.

Dr. Genome stares on.
"Battle, Gouki Octostretch attacks Helixx Gothiclone!" Gore called. "And I'll use the effect of Gouki Iron Claw to give Octostretch 500 more attack points."
Gouki Octostretch: (ATK: 0 + 500 = 500)
"Gothiclone's effect activates!" Dr. Genome called at this.
Helixx Gothiclone: (ATK: 0 + 500 = 500)
The two monsters attacked each other as Octostretch shattered.
"Gouki Octostretch's ability adds another copy of Gouki Suprex to my hand, and now Gouki the Great Ogre with 3400 attack points can attack Helixx Gothiclone!" Gore called.
Great Ogre charged at this only for Dr. Genome to smirk, "I activate my trap, DNA Plague!"

Dreadrat appeared again.
Helixx Dreadrat: (Attack Position/Banished when leaves the field)
Gore frowned seeing that. 'He's going for another tie with Great Ogre.'
Dr. Genome then jumped up with a smirk spreading his arms, "Appear our future circuit!"
The circuit appears again.
"What?" Gore questioned seeing that.
"The summoning conditions are 2 Helixx!"
The two flew up entering the top, and left arrows.
"You're finally up! Link Summon! The strongest DNA combines into this monster! Link 2 Helixx Necro Darwin!"

Helixx Gothiclone: (Co-linked to Helixx Necro Darwin)
Gore frowned seeing the new monster.
"While Necro Darwin is co-linked, you can't attack it." Dr. Genome smirked to him
"Great." Gore frowned. "So I have to attack your Gothiclone."
"But first, Necro Darwin attack Gouki Headbatt!" Dr. Genome called as Necro Darwin charged in at Headbatt.
Gore grunted as his monster shattered.
"I can still add a Gouki card to my hand." he told Dr. Genome adding a card.
"Let's see if that saves you! Gothiclone attacks Great Ogre!" Gothiclone charges in, "It's effect activates!"
Gothiclone: (ATK: 0 + 2600 = 2600)
Gore frowned as his Link Monster shattered.
"Gothiclone's other effect activates!" Dr. Genome added before Necro Darwin shot a large attack before vanishing.
Gore's eyes widened as he was hit.
(Gore: 1000/Hand: 1)
"Then, I activate Necro Darwin's ability in the graveyard! He revives!"
Necro Darwin rose up again cawing.

Seeing that Gore's eyes widened even more.
"I end my turn." Dr. Genome smirked.

If your opponent controls a face-up monster(s), this card can only target their monster with the highest ATK for attacks (your choice, if tied).
"Another Link 4 otherside from Giant Ogre?" Dr. Genome asked surprised.
"That's right, but I'll get to what this monster can do in a minute. First is a spell you might recognize, Gouki Re-Match to bring Headbatt and Bearhug back from my graveyard in defense mode!" Gore stated as his monsters reappeared.
Gouki Headbatt: (Defense Position)
Gouki Bearhug: (Defense Position)
"But they won't be sticking around, because Gouki the Master Ogre's special ability lets me return the Gouki's he points to in order to negate the effects of your monsters so I'll return both my monsters to my hand!"
Bearhug, and Headbatt grinned to Master Ogre fist bumping before it shined on the two.
Helixx Gothiclone: (Effects Negated)
Helixx Necro Darwin: (Effects Negated)
Dr. Genome gasps at this.
"Now, I think I'm forgetting something..." Gore started before grinning. "Oh that's right, my Gouki Headbatt's ability lets me send Bearhug to the graveyard in order to summon it and add 800 attack points to my Master Ogre."
Headbatt reappeared as it powered up Master Ogre. (Defense Position)
Gouki the Master Ogre: (ATK: 2800 + 800 = 3600)
"Attack Helixx Gothiclone!"
Master Ogre charged in slashing Necro Darwin in half as Dr. Genome cried out. (Dr. Genome: 2200/Hand: 1)
"I haven't lost yet and on my turn my Gothiclone will regain it's abilities which means..." Dr. Genome started.
"Sorry, but you're not getting a next turn. Gouki the Master Ogre can attack all of your monsters, attack and finish this duel!" Gore declared.
Master Ogre charged in slashing Gothiclone in half as Dr. Genome cried out landing hard on the street groaning.

Gore wins!
Dr. Genome grunted at this before smirking, "I may have failed... but Varis, and Rosaly will not!" He faded into Data as he said that
Gore frowned at that before racing off towards more of the Knights of Hanoi.
Meanwhile...
"Oh man, Akira wasn't joking. This place is a mess." Ghost Gal frowned as she watched the Pawn Drones and Knights of Hanoi battle above her.
"Ghost Gal!" a voice called from behind.
Blinking she turned around at that. "Someone called?"
She sees a green suited bird themed person waving over with a smile. "It's me Emma! Sota!
Seeing him she smiled only to frown. "Looks like you're having a bit of a problem around here."
"Yeah. The Pawn Drones, Kitamura created are slow, and boring but they know how to get a job well done." Emperor admitted to her, "But me, Akira, and you are gonna do all we can to stop the Hanoi from what their planning. Shepherd, and White Tiger will try to take part when they arrive so we need to hold out."
"Are you sure you're up to this?" Ghost Gal asked him. "It's been a while since you've dueled seriously after all."
Emperor grinned bumping his chest, "It been a while since I went slumming, but I can handle these bozos."
Ghost Gal smiled. "Then if you don't mind I'd love to see you work Sota."
"Right." Emperor nodded with a grin.
Ghost Gal smiled at that as one of the Knights of Hanoi noticed them.
"Well well."
They looked over seeing the Knight as he smirked dropping in front of them, "Look what I found here a couple of noobs."
"Speak of the devil." Emperor smiled before telling Ghost Gal, "I'll take care of him Ghost Gal."
"By all means." she smiled.
"A child, this won't take any time." the Knight of Hanoi smirked.
Emperor readies himself before they called, "DUEL!"

Emperor 1st Turn:
Emperor stared before placing his hand on his Deck to draw before closing his eyes not moving for a few seconds.
"Giving up?" the Knight of Hanoi smirked.
Ghost Gal however knows this as Emperor's special ability. He is imagining how the duel will go in his mind smiling.
Soon Emperor opened his eyes drawing, "I draw." He looked before saying, "And to start, I activate Simorgh Onslaught."

"By discarding 1 Winged Beast from my hand, I add two Simorghs with different Attributes from each other to my hand." Emperor discards a card before adding two cards showing them.
"What's the point of that?" the Knight of Hanoi questioned.

"Then I use Onslaught's effect in the graveyard!" Emperor said revealing a level 7 Winged Beast in his hand, "By showing you this card in my hand, I can use lower his level by one to summon it this turn."
Ghost Girl smiled seeing that.
"You already summoned so that is pointless." the Knight smirked.
Emperor only shrugged with a grin, "Well, I got something. Something called special ability. My Bird of Beginning allows me to summon another Simorgh in my hand."
"Fine, summon your monster it won't change anything." the Knight of Hanoi told him.
Bird of Beginning faded before Emperor rose the card, "When the flocks together raise up to clear the road, it will release a large tornado of ancestry! Tribute Summon! Level 7, Simorgh, Bird of Divinity!"
From a large tornado wall formed a large green bird like monster raising up cawing loud.

"Your monster is 700 points short." the Knight of Hanoi told him.
"Well, he's not the only monster I'm summoning. Since I just Tribute Summoned a Dark or Wind monster, I can summon this bird from my hand." Showing it as the second card he added from Onslaught another tornado wall mixed with dark energy materialized beside Divinity.
'Sota...' Ghost Girl thought with a smile.
"I summon from my hand, Simorgh of Darkness!"

Simorgh of Darkness: (ATK: 2900 + 300 = 3200/DEF: 2000 + 300 = 2300)
"My monster is still the most powerful on the field." the Knight of Hanoi smirked.
"Well now, I'll summon Simorgh, Bird of Calamity!" Emperor called as a small parrot with grey feathers rose up cawing.

Forbidden Chalice
Quick-Play Spell Card
Target 1 face-up monster on the field; until the end of this turn, that target gains 400 ATK, but its effects are negated.
"This may give your monster 400 more attack points, but the points it gained will be gone cause it's ability is negated!" Emperor called.
The Knight of Hanoi's eyes widened in shock at that.
Great Maju Garzett: (ATK: 3400 - (1700 * 2) + 400 = 400)
"And now Bird of Divinity time to swoop in! Destroy Great Maju Garzett!" Emperor called pointing at the weakened monster before Bird of Divinity cawed loud flying in to attack.
"I play my trap card Hate Buster!" the Knight of Hanoi called. "It destroys both of our monsters and you take damage equal to your bird's original attack points!"
Hate Buster
Normal Trap Card
When a Fiend-Type monster you control is targeted for an attack: Target the opponent's attacking monster and that monster you control; destroy both targets, and if you do, inflict damage to your opponent equal to the original ATK of the opponent's destroyed monster.
"That was what you were hoping for right?" Emperor asked before calling, "I activate Simorgh of Darkness' special ability!"
"You haven't lost your touch." Ghost Girl chuckled.
"By Tributing a WIND Winged Beast monster when you activate a Spell or Trap Card, Simorgh of Darkness cancels that trap out!" Emperor revealed as Bird of Calamity vanished only for Simorgh of Darkness to flap his wings hard which blows away Hate Buster.
The Knight of Hanoi's eyes widened before he gasped. "Wait a second... I recognize you!"
"Well too late for that. Bird of Divinity finish his monster!" Bird of Divinity pierced through Great Maju Garzett.
Great Maju Garzett shattered as the Knight of Hanoi cried out.
(Knight of Hanoi: 1400/Hand: 1)
"And now Simorgh of Darkness finish him off! Darkened Gales!"
Simorgh of Darkness cawed loud charging a large dark tornado attack firing it at the Knight.
The Knight of Hanoi cried out as he was sent flying before logging out.

Emperor grinned giving a peace sign to Ghost Gal, "He ain't so tough."
"True." she chuckled. "But we're far from done with these guys."
"Well like I said Ghost Gal, Shepherd, and White Tiger won't be here till later so us, and Akira are on our own for now." Emperor told her.
Ghost Girl nodded at that.
Meanwhile...
Who was defeating the Knights of Hanoi was Blue Angel who was stopping them with relative ease.
(A/N (bopdog111): We're sorry but Himika won't appear quite yet so sorry Himika fans if you were looking forward to seeing her with Baira.)
A Knight of Hanoi cried out having just been defeated by her.
"Your quite skilled for a child." a voice said above her.
Hearing that she quickly looked up. She sees a red haired woman wearing a mask similar to the Hanoi was there staring at her.
"Who are you?" Blue Angel questioned seeing her.
"I am Baira. The creator of the Deleted Virus." the woman introduced herself.
Hearing that Blue Angel's eyes widened. "Then I'll defeat you to put a stop to it and whatever that tower is."
"You may stop the virus' advance if you stop me tru but if you want to stop the Tower of Hanoi, your gonna have to defeat Varis, and Rosaly." Baira told her.
Blue Angel frowned. "Rosaly... she's the one Gore beat before."
"And I'll tell you she's way stronger now." Baira told her, "And if you think you can stop my Virus then prove it."
Blue Angel just frowned and raced up to her.
"DUEL!"

"Then Surgical Forceps' own ability allows it to gain 600 attack points equal to the number of monsters linked with it!"

Blue Angel let out a sigh of relief before landing on a nearby rooftop.
"Hey Blue Angel!"
She turned over to find Gore landing beside her.
"Gore?" she asked seeing him. "This is bad, have you seen Nyx?"
"No not yet. I took care of some DNA Hanoi earlier. What bout you?" Gore asked her.
"The one who created that virus, but there are still so many of them." Blue Angel frowned. "I have a really bad feeling things are going to get a lot worse before this is over."
"Gore, Blue Angel!"
The two looked to find Emperor, and Ghost Gal just found them. Blue Angel's eyes widened seeing him. "You, but you're..."
"Emperor." Emperor smiled to her as he, and Ghost Gal landed with them before he turned to Gore, "Gore, it's a pleasure to finally meet you. I just wish it would be done under different circumstances."
"Should I know you?" Gore inquired.
"Emperor, Security Overseer of SOL Technologies, son of King, and Queen, and one of the six children from the Lost Incident." Emperor introduced himself.
Gore's eyes widened before he paused. "Wait, Lost Incident?"
"Wish we have more time to talk but now's not the time. Us along with Akira are doing all we can to stop the Knights of Hanoi. Playmaker, his group aren't here yet, and both Shepherd, and White Tiger well be here later so we gotta hold out until we stop them." Emperor said to them.
The nodded before Ghost Girl blinked noticing a blue-haired Knight of Hanoi. "Well, I guess that means I'm up to deal with him."
Hearing that Emperor turned to her.
"Don't you worry, I can take care of this." Ghost Gal smiled as she got on her board and raced up to the Knight of Hanoi. "You look important."
The Knight turned over to her, "And if I am important?"
"If you are then I'll be dueling you instead of those cookie cutter Knights of Hanoi." Emma replied with a smirk. "So what do you say, do you accept my challenge?"
The Knight only glared saying, "Fine Ghost Gal, I'll take your challenge. My two other comrades had fallen but I won't be so easy to beat."
"We'll see." Ghost Gal smirked as they raced off.

"Well why don't we greet someone else?" Ghost Gal winked before calling, "Thanks to Marionetter's ability by sending Haunted Rock to the graveyard, I can summon back Fifinellag from the graveyard!"
Haunted Rock lowered down to the Graveyard Portal before Fifinellag flew back in the field.
Altergeist Fifinellag: (Attack Position)
Faust frowned seeing that as Blue Angel, Gore, and Emperor caught up to them to watch the duel.
"Then I'll tune level 2 Fifinellag with Level 4 Marionetter!" Ghost Gal called raising her arm as the two flew up where Fifinellag turned to 2 rings while Marionetter passed through them synchronizing into 4 stars.

"3700 points on her first turn." Gore noted. "Not bad."
"Is that all you're doing?" Faust questioned.

The spell glowed only for Ghost Gal to call, "Sorry but I'll have to stop you there!" Faust looked surprised only for Ghost Gal to call, "Hexstia's ability activates! By Tributing the monster linked to her she can stop the effect of one of your spell or trap cards!"
Dragvirion vanished which made Hexstia's boost goes down. (ATK: 3700 - 2200 = 1500) But this shorted out Faust's Motor Worm Bait before Ghost Gal added, "In addition as Dragvirion was Tributed, she revives instantly!" Dragvirion rose up again linked to Hexstia once more.
Hexstia: (ATK: 1500 + 2200 = 3700)
Faust's eyes widened seeing that. "I... end my turn."

You can only use this effect of "Altergeist Meluseek" once per turn.
"Perfect, she can wipe him out." Gore grinned.
"Ghost Gal hasn't lost her touch." Emperor agreed with a smile.
"And now Meluseek attack his Token!" Ghost Gal called as Meluseek attacked the Token before she called, "And now Dragvirion, Hexstia attack him directly!"
The two Extra Deck Altergeists charged attacking Faust. Faust cried out as he lost all his life points.

"After hearing the Water Ignis beating you, I thought you were losing your touch but I was wrong." Emperor smiled to Ghost Gal landing near her.
"I didn't expect her strategy, but I wouldn't lose a rematch." Ghost Gal replied only to grin. "We might not even need the others to help out at this rate."
"Is that really what you think?"
Hearing that they looked where they see from a rooftop was Varis, Specter, and Rosaly looking down to them. Blue Angel and Gore frowned recognizing them.
"More Knights of Hanoi?" Ghost Gal asked seeing them.
"Varis, their Leader, Specter their Second in Command, and Rosaly, Varis' sister." Emperor explained to her not taking his eyes off them.
Varis only smirked, "Pleased to meet you at last, son of King, Emperor. You, and your squad with those AI put up a fight but their mediocre before us. You would need Playmaker's help against us."
"We can handle you before they can arrive." Gore told him.
"Is that so? Then why not we raise the stakes a bit?" Varis asked them.
"What do you mean by that?" Blue Angel asked as they noticed she looked slightly nervous.
"Us three can handle you four." Varis said as the three jumped down landing in front of them before Varis said, "So we take stuff in separate locations. Gore, you'll be against me."
"Fine by me, I took your sister down so you'll be next." Gore smirked to him.
"Be careful Gore, he's strong." Blue Angel warned.
"Don't worry bout me Blue Angel, I'll be fine." Gore told her.
Specter then stepped forward with a grin, "Meanwhile, I'll be taking Blue Angel by myself. Fitting since not only are we second best in both our factions, I am also a fan of hers."
"Then that leaves me to duel you?" Emperor inquired to Varis.
"Wrong boy." Rosaly reminded before saying, "I'll be taking care of your hacker friend there." She was directing at Ghost Gal as she said this.
"Fine with me." Ghost Gal replied.
Varis then added to Emperor, "And you Emperor, depending on whichever of us you reach first when we defeat our opponents we will duel you."
"Reach first?" Emperor blinked at this.
Varis only smirked before raising his hands up as they glowed before Data Storms appeared swallowing all of them before fading showing Emperor was left with closed eyes before looking around showing he's alone before he said, "Oh... that's what he means."
bopdog111: Gore vs Varis, Specter vs Blue Angel, and Rosaly vs Ghost Gal.
Ulrich362: Three duels that are definitely going to be intense to say the least. And Playmaker, Nyx, and the others are almost back in Den City to join the battle.
bopdog111: Any idea what this could result in?
Ulrich362: Honestly... the Knights of Hanoi making a strong counter attack.
bopdog111: And that leaves Emperor left to try to fend it off.
Ulrich362: Well at least until Playmaker and Nyx show up. See you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
