bopdog111: We're on Chronicles again.
Ulrich362: True, the final duels are upon us. Only four people are left in Link Vrains.
bopdog111: The two siblings duos Playmaker vs Varis, and Nyx vs Rosaly.
Ulrich362: Exactly, Playmaker and Nyx managed to win once but it was incredibly close and there's no way to knowing how those duels will go this time. Only one way to find out though, enjoy the chapter.

At Cafe Nom...
Cal was frowning as he watched Yusaku and Lilly prepare to take on Rosaly and Varis again only to suddenly hear someone knocking on the door to his food truck. Curious Cal opened the door looking to see. It was Yuya, Zuzu, and the rest of the lancers and the allies they made during the Dimensional War.
"Sorry it took so long, getting everyone filled in took longer than we thought it would." Yuto apologized. "What's going on?"
"Just four people left. Yusaku, and Lilly are all that's left fighting the Hanoi who is only Varis, and Rosaly." Cal answered.
"I see." Declan frowned.
"None of us can get into Link Vrains without the code in Yusaku's Duel Disk either." frowned a blonde woman with pink eyes. "So we came all this way to just watch from the sidelines?"
"Just for now Gloria, the real enemy is SOL Technologies themselves." Celina answered.
"I wonder what they're doing right now." mentioned a silver-haired young man.
"Come in, their just about to start." Cal told them mentioning them in.
Nodding at that they got in as Cal realized just how crowded it was with so many people in his food truck.
"On second thought, some of you get out, and I'll open the window." Cal said feeling cramped.
"Probably a good idea." mentioned an orange haired-young man.
After exiting Cal opened his Truck's window turning the screens on fullscreen.
"Be careful you two." mentioned a blue-haired young man as he took out a small piece of candy.
Back at Link VRAINS...
Rosaly, and Nyx stared before Varis told Playmaker, "While Rosaly handles your sister here, let us ride to the top of the tower for our own showdown Playmaker!" He readied his Duel Board flying to the Tower of Hanoi's core. Playmaker frowned before meeting his sister's eye as she nodded and he raced up after Varis leaving Nyx and Rosaly at the base of the tower.
With their brother's gone to settle their own score, Rosaly turned to Nyx, "Well now Nyx, it's time for us to finish this once and for all. And right now, I hope your ready cause unlike last time, it's not gonna be the same."
"To be honest, the idea of dueling you still terrifies me." Nyx admitted.
"So why are you still going with it instead of backing out?" Rosaly asked her.
"Of course I am." Nyx answered activating her Duel Disk.
"I'm asking you why." Rosaly said in annoyance.
"You should know why." Nyx answered.
"Well no point talking anymore about this. Let's settle this, and by the end I'll be getting one Ignis for the Hanoi." Rosaly said activating her Duel Disk.
"DUEL!" Nyx and Rosaly called together.

Curse of the Shadow Prison: (Spellstone Counters: 2)
"Then, since I sent Shaddoll Falco to the graveyard with a card effect I can special summon him in facedown defense mode."

"When Normal Summoned, he brings back a Vampire from the graveyard." Rosaly added as Familiar rose back up.
Vampire Familiar: (Defense Position)
Nyx frowned. "My Grysta is still the strongest monster in play. Plus thanks to my Curse of the Shadow Prison all your monster lose 100 attack points for each Spellstone Counter during your turn."
Duke: (ATK: 2000 - (100 * 2) = 1800)

"Well I'm not done. With Familiar Special Summoned, I can pay 500 points to add a Vampire monster to my hand." Rosaly told her adding another card. (Rosaly: 3000/Hand: 4) "Then appear the circuit of the Vampires!"
The circuit appeared as Duke, and Familiar entered the arrows.
"I Link Summon! Link 2, Vampire Sucker!"
What lowered down was Sucker grinning.

Nyx shuddered slightly seeing the monster.
Vampire Sucker: (ATK: 1600 - 200 = 1400)
"Then I activate Familiar's other ability! While in the graveyard, it can summon itself again by sending a Vampire from my hand to the graveyard." She discarded before Familiar rose back up chittering.
Familiar: (Defense Position/Banished when leaves the field)
"Then Sucker's ability activates! At anytime a Zombie monster is Special Summoned from the graveyard, I get to draw 1 card." Rosaly added drawing another card before saying, "Now Nyx this next move is on you."
Familiar: (ATK: 500 - (100 * 2) = 300)
"Appear again the circuit of Vampires!" The circuit appeared again as she called, "The summoning conditions are at least 2 monsters including 1 Zombie!"
Vampire Sucker, and Familiar shot up entering the top, bottom-left, and bottom-right markers.
"When Familiar leaves the field after being summoned by it's ability it's banished." Rosaly added a small detail.

Nyx's eyes widened as she stared at the monster.
"When this monster is summoned, I get to take 1 monster from your graveyard to my side in Defense Mode. However I can only summon Zombies for the rest of the turn! I take your Helshaddoll Hallow!" Rosaly called as Fascinator meditated.
Fascinator: (ATK: 2400 - (100 * 2) = 2200)
"No!" Nyx cried in shock as her most powerful monster appeared on Rosaly's field.

"Then I use Fascinator's other ability! By Tributing 1 Vampire on my field, I can take control of 1 monster on your field. Like Falco!" Rosaly added as Fascinator vanished.

"With no Shaddoll's in my graveyard, Falco's effect has no effect. But now I overlay both Falco, and Hollow!"
At that Hollow glowed red while Falco glowed purple flying up to the Overlay Network.
"That's not possible, those monsters aren't the same level." Nyx argued only for her eyes to widen. "Wait... when you dueled Gore!"
"Indeed. But this is a different monster!" Rosaly called as the Overlay Network exploded with the monster materializing.
"Along with the Count, he has a queen who has an equal lust for blood to sustain her beauty! She appears now to spread her beauty to mortalkind! Xyz Summon! Rank 8, The Zombie Vampire!"

You can only use this effect of "The Zombie Vampire" once per turn.
(ORU: 2)
Nyx's eyes widened before she cried out in horror seeing the monster.
"Nyx!" the Female Ignis cried out hearing that worried for her partner.
She was absolutely trembling in fear staring at Rosaly's powerful vampire.
"I activate the Zombie Vampire's special ability! By using an Overlay Unit, we send the top four cards of our Decks to the graveyard!" The Vampire takes the unit. (ORU: 2 - 1)
The two of them sent the cards to the graveyard.
"Then if their are any monsters with it, I get to summon one of them." Rosaly told her.
Nyx frowned. "I sent three monsters."
She revealed Shaddoll Hedgehog, Shaddoll Dragon, and Qadshaddoll Keios
Curse of the Shadow Prison: (Spellstone Counters: 5)
The Zombie Vampire: (ATK: 3000 - (100 * 5) = 2500)
"Then since they were sent to the graveyard because of a card effect Shaddoll Hedgehog add Shaddoll Squamata to my hand, and Shaddoll Dragon destroys Vampire's Domain. I didn't have a Shaddoll in my hand so Qadshaddoll Keios doesn't do anything."
Rosaly's spell shattered before she tells Nyx, "I had sent two."
She shows the discarded cards which were Vampire Recruiter, Vampire Lord, Return of the Zombies, and Call of the Mummy. Nyx frowned. "You get to summon one of my monsters now right?"
"Actually I'll pick one of mine."

You can only use each effect of "Vampire Retainer" once per turn.
Nyx shuddered seeing yet another vampire as her field was empty except for her field spell.
"Why did you summon that monster?"
Vampire Retainer: (ATK: 1200 - (100 * 5) = 700)
"Like Familiar it adds a Vampire to my hand only a Spell, and Trap this time." Rosaly said glowing. (Rosaly: 2500/Hand: 5)
Nyx shuddered seeing that.
At SOL Technologies...
"King sir, it seems Nyx is going to lose as well. The Knights of Hanoi... they're going to succeed in whatever it they're planning." an employee mentioned nervously.
"Don't think so quickly. On the outside Nyx may seem weak but she always pulls something off out of danger." King instructed the employee, "Remember she doesn't earn the title 'Third Charisma Duelist' for nothing."
"Even so, her Grysta's attack points are only 2450 and her field spell only lowers that Hanoi's Xyz Monster to 2500." another employee mentioned. "Unless she has some kind of miracle on top of her deck this duel can only end in her defeat."
"So don't already think of the outcome." King stated simply, "In dueling, always expect the unexpected."
Back at the duel...
"Now battle!" Rosaly called finally done, "Zombie Vampire go! Strike down Grysta!"
The Vampire screeched charging it moving to impale with it's two lances. Nyx cried out as her only monster was destroyed.
(Nyx: 3950/Hand: 1)
Her graveyard glowed at this upon Grysta's destruction. After taking a moment to calm her breathing Nyx took a card. "When El Shaddoll Grysta is destroyed I can add a Shaddoll Spell or trap from my graveyard to my hand and I pick the trap Shaddoll Schism."
"Well hope it assist you here. For now Retainer attack her directly!"
Retainer growled charged in at Nyx. Nyx cried out as the attack knocked her off her feet.
(Nyx: 3250/Hand: 1)
"With that done, I end my turn with 2 face-downs." Rosaly ended her turn.
Rosaly's Hand: 3/Field: The Zombie Vampire (Attack Position/ATK: 2500), Vampire Retainer (Attack Position/ATK: 700), Two Set Cards

Nyx 2nd Turn:
Nyx hesitantly drew her card before her eyes widened slightly as she took a slow breath. "I set one monster and play two cards facedown, that's it."
"Before your turn ends, I activate Vampire Takeover!" Rosaly called using a trap.
Vampire Takeover
Normal Trap Card
If you have no card in your Field Zone and all face-up monsters you control (min. 1) are Zombie-Type: Activate 1 "Vampire Kingdom" directly from your Deck, then, you can Special Summon 1 DARK "Vampire" monster from your Graveyard in face-up Defense Position. You can only activate 1 "Vampire Takeover" per turn.
"Thanks to this card's effect as there are no cards in my Field Zone, and all monsters I have are Zombies, I get to use a special card. Care to guess what card I mean?"
"I'd... rather not." Nyx admitted nervously.
"It's this. Vampire Kingdom!"
She sets the card on the field.
(Field Zone)
Vampire Kingdom

"Then afterwards I summon 1 Vampire from the graveyard. Rise Vampire Lord!"
Vampire Lord rose from a coffin exiting with a smirk.

"Alright my turn!" Rosaly drew before calling, "First off I use Return of the Zombies effect in the graveyard. I shuffle back Familiar to place it to my field set."
She sets a card while Familiar shuffles in her Deck. Nyx shuddered nervously. 'Right before she enters battle…'
"But Familiar won't stay in my Deck for long." Rosaly added before activating her second face-down, "Vampire Awakening activates!"
Vampire Awakening
Normal Trap Card
Special Summon 1 "Vampire" monster from your Deck, but destroy it during the End Phase of this turn. You can only activate 1 "Vampire Awakening" per turn.
"At the price of destroying it at the end of the turn, I summon a Vampire from my Deck! Come back Familiar!"
Familiar rose up again chittering.
Vampire Familiar: (Defense Position/ATK: 500 - (100 * 5) = 0)
"And then per it's ability, I take a card to my hand." Rosaly said adding a card, (Rosaly: 2000/Hand: 5) "You should remember this card..."
Nyx froze before shrieking in terror.
"I banish Vampire Lord!"
Lord changed shape before she called, "Come my true ace! Vampire Genesis!"
Lord transformed into his demon form, Vampire Genesis readying with a roar.

"I can Fusion Summon a Shaddoll by vanishing materials from my hand or graveyard, but I use three of my field spell's Spellstonr Counters to banish The Zombie Vampire from your field along with Shaddoll Dragon to Fusion Summon El Shaddoll Winda!"
Curse of the Shadow Prison: (Spellstone Counters: 5 - 3 = 2)
The Zombie Vampire: (ATK: 2500 (100 * 3) = 2800)

Vampire Retainer: (ATK: 700 (100 * 3) = 1000)
Vampire Genesis: (ATK: 2500 + (100 * 3) = 2800)
"What?" Rosaly asked not expecting that as her Xyz Vampire was sucked into a vortex with Dragon.
Nyx let out a sigh as El Shaddoll Winda appeared.
(Attack Position)
El Shaddoll Winda

"Then, I can send one monster with the same attribute as Winda on your field to the graveyard and I pick Vampire Genesis." Nyx explained.
Winda cast a spell sucking Genesis as it resisted before was sucked through the vortex. Rosaly growled at this, "How dare you...!"
Nyx let out another sigh. "Ok, the vampires are gone."
"Good Nyx. But take a deep breath, your not gonna beat her if you don't focus." the female Ignis told her concerned.
"I'm ok now." Nyx mentioned.
"Fine I'll give you that." Rosaly glared before saying, "But I still got cards to play. Polymerization!"

"Two Departed Souls in the Soul Cairn! Be reborn by fusing together into the dragon of the Soul Cairn! Fusion Summon! Dragonecro Nethersoul Dragon!"

Dragonecro Nethersoul Dragon: (ATK: 3000 - (100 * 2) = 2800)
Nyx's eyes widened. "A Fusion Monster?"
"Now Dragonecro attack El Shadoll Winda!" Rosaly called as Dragonecro roared charging a talon, "Due to it's effect, El Shadoll Winda isn't destroyed in battle but when the battle ends, Winda loses all her attack points!"
"Big brother… sorry." Nyx whispered. "I play a trap, Final Fusion!"
Final Fusion
Normal Trap Card
During either player's Battle Step, when a Fusion Monster you control battles an opponent's Fusion Monster: Target both those Fusion Monsters; negate the attack, and if you do, each player takes damage equal to the combined ATK of both those Fusion Monsters.
"This negates the battle and we both take damage equal to our Fusion Monster's combined attack points!"
"What?" Rosaly asked shocked as Dragonecro, and Winda struck together.
That was before a beeping got her attention, and looking at her Duel Disk she sees a heart rate monitor just dropped to 0 which made her eyes widen in horror, "DADDY!" She looked up to Nyx, "I'm sorry, but I can't continue this duel!"
"What?" Nyx asked confused seeing her reaction she wasn't expecting.
Rosaly only quickly moved as the shockwave struck them both while Rosaly deactivated her Duel Disk. Nyx had her eyes closed before opening slowly confused seeing the duel vanished. She looked around in confusion before logging out.
Meanwhile earlier...
Varis, and Playmaker flew up where a field appeared in front of them in the Tower of Hanoi's debris ring.
"Playmaker beat you once, and he'll beat you again!" Ai told Varis.
"That's because I was weak last time. Well it won't happen again, I grown stronger." Varis stated simply before smirking, "Now Playmaker, I hope your ready."
"I should be asking the same to you." Playmaker told him looking at him.
"DUEL!" Varis and Playmaker called together.

"Summon all the monsters you want, it won't change a thing." Ai mentioned.
"On that we agree Ignis. Cause, I have a treat!" Varis called as the circuit appeared which Gateway Dragon, Keeper of the Shrine, and Nostovision Dragon flew up entering the top arrows.
"Wait, arrows pointing to our field?" Ai blinked in confusion.
"I Link Summon! Rise, Flash Charge Dragon!"
A four legged cyborg dragon with three turrets rose up roaring.

"Then Cyberse Witch's effect activates!" Playmaker called as Witch glowed, "When a monster is summoned next to it's Link, I can banish a Spell card from my graveyard, to add a Cyberse Ritual Monster, and Cynet Ritual to my hand! I banish Cybet Mining!"
Mining from the graveyard vanished as Playmaker shows the two cards to Varis.
"Good, that's going to take this creep down a notch." Ai grinned.
"First off, appear the circuit that leads to the future!" Playmaker called as the circuit appeared only for Witch, and Micro Coder to fly up, "Link Summon! Link 3, Encode Talker!"
Encode Talker jumped up in the Extra Monster Zone readying.

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.
"Great, now we just need a monster to be linked to Encode Talker." Ai commented.
"Which is right now!" Playmaker called before saying, "Before that, Micro Coder allows me to take 1 of two cards to my hand if used to Link Summon a Coder Talker from the field! I add the level 4, Bitrooper to my hand!" He added the monster, "Then I activate the Ritual Spell, Cynet Ritual!"

"I sacrifice monsters worthy of the Level of the Cyberse Ritual Monster, I am summoning from my hand or field!" Playmaker called as a ring appeared where the Bitrooper in his hand along with the Flame Bufferlo he added earlier were all Tributed.
"The contract has been made. The sage who wields dark power inherits these two souls! Ritual Summon! Rise, Cyberse Magician!"
His Ritual Monster that helped him against the Pawn Drones rose up readying.

If this card battles a Link Monster, it gains 1000 ATK during that damage calculation only. If this card in your possession is destroyed by an opponent's card effect: You can add 1 Cyberse monster from your Deck to your hand.
"Nice." Ai mentioned. "Take down his dragon Playmaker."
Playmaker then called, "I set 1 card!" He sets it before calling, "Battle! Cyberse Magician attack Flash Charge Dragon!" Cyberse Magician charged forward, "If Magician battles a Link Monster he gains 1000 attack points!"
Cyberse Magician: (ATK: 2500 + 1000 = 3500)
The Magician used a magical spell charging before Varis smirked, "Be more careful what you wish for Playmaker! I activate my face-down, Mirror Force!"
The trap popped up spraying a barrier.
Mirror Force
Normal Trap Card
When an opponent's monster declares an attack: Destroy all your opponent's Attack Position monsters.
Ai's eyes widened in shock seeing that. "Not good!"
The Magician that was attacking was destroyed alongside Encode Talker while Playmaker braced grunting against the attack.
"Well now that attack was wasted Playmaker." Varis smirked to him.
Playmaker only glared, "Perhaps, but when Cyberse Magician is destroyed by your card, I take a Cyberse to my hand." He adds the card before saying with nothing else, "I end my turn."

Varis 2nd Turn:
"My turn, draw!" Varis drew at this looking before calling, "And to start off, I'll set 1 card." He places down a card before calling, "Now Flash Charge Dragon attack him directly!"
Flash Charge Dragon charged an attack at Playmaker as he readied before it fired as Playmaker called, "I activate Lockout Gardna's effect in my hand! When you attack directly, I can summon it from my hand, and it survives the attack!"
He quickly summoned the card at this.

When an effect of a monster your opponent controls is activated that targets 1 Cyberse monster you control (and no other cards) (Quick Effect): You can negate the effects of both that Cyberse monster you control and that opponent's monster until the end of this turn.
Varis only smirked, "That shield won't protect you Playmaker."
"What do you mean?" Ai questioned.
Varis called, "Flash Charge Dragon's ability activates! When a monster is summoned to where it points that, that monster is destroyed but you also lose 500 life points!"
Flash Charge Dragon fired from a turret destroying Lockout Gardna while Playmaker stumbled. (Playmaker: 2500/Hand: 0)
"Playmaker!" Ai cried in horror seeing that.
"Now continue on Flash Charge Dragon!"
Flash Charge Dragon fired from it's three cannons striking Playmaker directly who kneeled. (Playmaker: 0200/Hand: 0)
Ai just slumped down in defeat. "No... this isn't real."
"Well now Playmaker, what are you gonna do now?" Varis smirked to him.
Varis' Hand: 1/Field: Flash Charge Dragon (Attack Position/Extra Monster Zone), One Set Card
Playmaker 3rd Turn:
Despite the odds against him Playmaker isn't going to let Varis walk over him like that. His only chance of getting back at the Hanoi from his childhood is right there, and he's not going to let it slip by. So he stood up drawing, "Draw!" He looked at his drawn card.
Ai frowned. Looking at this he turned to the Data Storm that was running at the core, and take a breath charging to it which surprised both Varis, and Ai cause from the looks of the Data Storm it looked too chaotic to even try getting a card from there.
"Have you lost your mind Playmaker?" Varis questioned.
"Playmaker this Data Storm's density is too high!" Ai cried to him.
"Which means there should be something incredibly strong in this Data Storm one that could give us a chance!" Playmaker argued to him before plunging his arm in before crying out from the strong winds against it before endures it to use the Skill, "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.
Playmaker stayed for a bit while struggling through despite his arm going through the most severe agony he ever felt. Soon much to Varis, and Ai's shock a silhouette of a dragon materialized flying to Playmaker's hand roaring into a card he grunted pulling the card out showing the Skill was successful.
"Impossible!" Varis cried in shock.
Taking a look at the card he nodded before calling, "To start, I activate Cynet Robe!"
Cynet Robe
Normal Spell Card
If you have a Cyberse Monster in your GY: Target 1 monster on the field; negate it's effect(s), also draw 1 card.
"This negates Flash Charge Dragon's abilities!" Playmaker told Varis while drawing.

"Then I activate the Ritual Spell, Cynet Ritual's effect in my graveyard! With no monsters on my field, I can banish this card, and 1 Ritual Monster from my graveyard," two said spells vanished from Playmaker's graveyard, "so I can summon 2 Cynet Tokens!"
Two blue mechanical beings appeared.

"Appear the circuit that leads to the future!" Playmaker called as the circuit appeared only for the Tokens to enter the arrows, "Link Summon! Link 2, Cyberse Wicckid!"
What rose was a small sorcerer like boy holding a small wand with green like gray hair readying with a grin.

"Cyberse Wicckid's effect activates! When a monster is Special Summoned to where it points to by banishing Stack Reviver from my graveyard, I can add Cyberse Synchron to my hand, and summon it!" Playmaker added as Stack Reviver from his graveyard vanished allowing a card to eject from his Deck, and he both took, and placed it on his Duel Disk as a cyberse with a ring around it appeared.

Ai grinned seeing that.
'Synchron... then the monster he had gotten was...' Varis thought now realizing he had gotten before growling unable to stop him.
"Do it Playmaker." Ai grinned.
"Then with a Cyberse on my field, I can summon Backup Secretary!" Playmaker added as Backup Secretary popped up.

"And now Cyberse Synchron's ability activates! It doubles a monster's level on my field!" Synchron glowed as Backup Secretary glowed.
Backup Secretary: (LV: 3 x 2 = 6)
"That allows me to tune Synchron with Backup Secretary!" Playmaker called as Synchron turned to 1 ring while Backup Secretary formed to 6 stars.
(LV: 1 + 6 = 7)
"Flash of Lightning! The unknown power transforms into a soaring dragon! Synchro Summon! Descend! Cyberse Quantum Dragon!"
What flew in was a white, and blue dragon with four glowing blue eyes with small arms, and large wings roaring.

Once per turn, at the start of the Damage Step, if this card battles an opponent's monster: You can return that opponent's monster to the hand, also, this card can make a second attack in a row.
Varis frowned seeing the monster.
"Battle! Cyberse Quantum Dragon attacks Flash Charge Dragon!" Quantum Dragon charged in before Playmaker called, "Quantum Dragon's ability activates! When it battles an opponent's monster, that monster must return to the hand!"
"What?" Varis asked shocked.
"Driveback Shot!"
Quantum Dragon flew passed forcing it back to Varis' Extra Deck who grunted before Playmaker added, "Quantum Dragon's second effect! When Driveback Shot succeeds it can attack again!" Quantum Dragon flew around for a second pass striking Varis. (Varis: 1500/Hand: 1)
"This duel is as good as over." Ai grinned.
"Transcode Talker attacks you directly!" Playmaker called as Transcode Talker readied it's rifle before he called, "This is the end! Transcode Finish!"
Transcode Talker fired from it's rifle at Varis. This isn't over by a long shot on Varis' mind however, "I activate Kuriboh's effect in my hand!" Kuriboh appeared taking the attack destroying which Varis braced himself before he called, "Battle damage to me one time is zero!"
Playmaker grunted before calling, "Cyberse Wicckid!" Wicckid attacked Varis. (Varis: 0200/Hand: 0)
"Oh no!" Ai panicked seeing that.
"You couldn't defeat me Playmaker." Varis smirked to him.
"Maybe not but you don't got anything left!" Playmaker reminded.

Varis 3rd Turn:
"Maybe not but you've allowed me to use something I been meaning to use." Varis smirked drawing to start his turn.
"Something he's been meaning to use...?" Playmaker asked confused.
Varis stared at his hand, 'With father's advanced programming, I should be able to control the Data Storms no matter how high...' Looking at the Storm he flew over to it.
Ai's eyes widened. "No way... Playmaker is he about to... Stop him!"
Playmaker didn't move watching what Varis is about to do.
Varis reached only to be met with resistance. This lets him know that this Data Storm is probably the strongest he ever encountered which also meant it is extremely powerful.
"This Data Storm's density is too high..." Varis muttered to himself before calling, "But if Playmaker can do it so can I!"
He plunged his hand in crying out as he struggled but got pushed back unable to complete the skill.
"He failed." Ai whispered.
Clutching his data shredded arm Varis growled, "I can't afford to lose!" He moved to the Data Storm to try again.
"Is he nuts, if he tries again his avatar will be completely destroyed." Ai pointed out.
Before Varis is about to move in again everything froze in place surprising the three as they looked over wondering what's going on. Suddenly a holographic version of Dr. Kogami appeared shocking all who are seeing this before Varis asked shocked, "Father? Why are you here?"
"Ryoken... I never did a single fatherly thing for you, or Sachiko. I only made you two suffer." Dr. Kogami said looking down, "But you two never complained. Not even once. You were a great son, and daughter. Believe me, I never wanted to involve you two in this. But without you two, the world couldn't be saved from destruction."
"I know..." Varis replied to him.
"You both can't lose here. I'll give you both my final strength." Dr. Kogami told Varis shocking him.
"Final strength? But if you do that..." Varis trailed off in horror.
What this is referring too was that Dr. Kogami would basically die if he gives him, and Rosaly the last of his data which can't be reversed. It would also mean that Varis, and Rosaly together would lose someone important to them for the rest of the time their fighting the Ignis.
"I don't care." Dr. Kogami said simply to his son, "Protect humanity's future in my place. You, and your sister are my final and only hope. Take care of your sister for me."
With that he turned to light absorbed in Varis who looked over himself in shock as his arm was restored to normal, "This is..." Turning over after noticing something he sees a path which made him gasp "This radiance is..."
Soon time unfrozen catching Playmaker off-guard trying to avoid with Varis staring off at the path that was formed.
"What... what is that?" Ai questioned.
'Father...' Varis thought before looking determined riding from the path reaching his hand as his robe's linings glow, "I activate my Skill! When I have 1000 or less Life Points, I can add 1 monster from the Data Storm to my Extra Deck! The new breath resides in my hand! Come Neo Storm Access!"
At that once the card appeared in his hand he burst out of the Data Storm behind Playmaker before a holographic screen of a heart monitor appeared on his Duel Disk which only Varis can view watching.
"He succeeded..." Ai trailed off in shock.
"The Stardust Road led me to it." Varis said to himself.
It did not go un-noticed by Playmaker who blinked, "Stardust Road...?"
"I summon Hibernation Dragon!" Varis called as a dragon popped up.

You can only use each effect of "Hibernation Dragon" once per turn.
"When this card is summoned, I take Gateway Dragon back to my hand!" Varis called taking the card. But before he can do anything else hearing something he looked at the heart monitor, and widen his eyes in horror seeing a line before telling to Playmaker, "I'm sorry, but I can't continue this duel!"
"What?" Playmaker questioned.
"Trap activate, Destruction Ring!" Varis called using the trap from before.
Destruction Ring
Normal Trap Card
Destroy 1 face-up monster on your side of the field to inflict 1000 points of damage to both player's Life Points.
"What?" Ai questioned. "Playmaker tell me you can stop that trap!"

DRAW
Both avatars vanished at this.
Back at the real world...
Yusaku stumbled out of his pod coughing collapsing on all fours. At the same time Lilly emerged from hers looking really confused before her eyes widened. "Everyone?"
"You two alright?" Cal asked them worried, "When the feeds got cut off we don't know what happened!"
"I... had to use that trap to get a draw but... Rosaly vanished. She was acting weird though." Lilly answered while Cal helped Yusaku to his feet.
"You okay Yusaku?" Yuya asked him concerned.
"I think so... Varis pulled out Destruction Ring at the last second. It looked like he was trying to end the match as quick as he can." Yusaku answered rubbing his head before mentioning, "But he mentioned something called... the Stardust Road."
"Stardust Road?" Rin asked. "What's that?"
"I heard about that..." Cal remembered giving thought. He then explained to them, "It is something from the sea nearby that where plankton, and algae gather for a event showing a shiny road when the moon lights up. I never seen it in person myself but it's suppose to be real amazing to see."
"It sounds incredible." Zuzu admitted.
"Why would Varis mention something like that though?" Yugo asked confused.
At this Yuri suggested, "Perhaps..." they looked to him before he asked, "Perhaps he happens to live nearby where this 'Stardust Road' is?"
"It's worth looking at least." Declan noted calmly.
"Cal do you know where this Stardust Road is?" Yusaku asked him.
"Yeah just nearby. And there is a big house like a palace that views it overseas." Cal answered.
"Then that's where they are." Celina mentioned. "Let's get going."
Nodding, and after getting a bus that You Show uses they follow Cal's truck over eventually arriving at sunset where they see a large wooden framed house with glass windows was at.
Ulrich362: Two DRAWS, and now Yusaku and the others have arrived at what should be the Kogami household. Varis and Rosaly... no, Ryoken and Sachiko are waiting inside.
bopdog111: And the final battle will begin next chapter.
Ulrich362: True... apologies for the less than adequate duel between Playmaker and Varis when compared to the original Legacy of Fusion... hopefully a tiny detail next chapter will make up for it.
bopdog111: Honestly this one is better then the original...
Ulrich362: Maybe. Well, see you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
