bopdog111: Again, thank you Kazuki for giving us the Hell Deck.
Ulrich362: Agreed, thank you very much.
bopdog111: But now as Dennis defeated it, we won't be using it for a while.
Ulrich362: True, however Roget is far from beaten.
bopdog111: As what we seen after Yugo defeated his first robot he will switch to another Deck that SOLs had been using for the SOLTis Androids.
Ulrich362: True, the only question is what does he have planned next? Only one way to find out, enjoy the chapter.

At the Zaizen household...
Yusaku was waiting in the living room with Ai on the coffee table beside him with crossed arms with Skye's Duel Disk holding the female Ignis beside him from Skye telling them she'll be cooking for the two of them.
"Shouldn't you be helping her?" Ai inquired.
"I know nothing about cooking. Best I can do are Microwave Meals." Yusaku answered his Ignis' question.
"Well she also has her AI Butler to help her out." the female Ignis added from there.
Ai shrugged at that. "Well anyway, what are we going to do once that Roget creep is finally dealt with? We still need to find the others."
"Your fellow Ignis must be free from Varis now that we defeated him at the Tower of Hanoi right?" Yusaku asked Ai hearing that before asking, "What are the other Ignis like?"
"Huh? Oh um..." Ai tries to think over how to describe the others, "Well first there is the leader of the Ignis, the Light Ignis. Calm, cool, and collected. Too smart though so I don't know what's in his head's most of the time."
"That's true, he was always deep in thought about something but I could never figure out what it was." the female Ignis agreed. "I asked him a few times but he avoided the question."
"And what about Sota's own Ignis?" Yusaku asked wanting to know.
Ai shrugged admitting, "Well the Wind Ignis, is easy to talk too. Always knows when to assist a friend out. Well a more accurate description be like a child at a candy store. He's probably one of the few ways Cyberse World never gets boring. He also is in charge over looking over, and creating Data for Cyberse World to keep functioning, though he likes to joke around with it sometimes."
Yusaku frowned at that. "I see."
"Huh, that a reaction?" Ai asked with a blink.
Yusaku turned to him to point something out. "The others are you, and her."
"And... Oh, the Earth Ignis." Ai said thinking, "He's no-nonsense and honest and umm..." He tries to think of a coherent thing to say before then admitting, "Well... fierce towards me."
"Fierce?"
"Well at often times when she scolds me for clowning around when I'm alone he usually confronts me about it." Ai admitted before shrugging, "Don't know what's in his head though, he never stood out."
"He was incredibly kind and loyal." the female Ignis pointed out in annoyance at Ai.
Ai shrugged hearing that not getting what she's annoyed about but Yusaku pretty much gets an idea deciding to ask her about it. "So in your own sense of words what is the Earth Ignis like in your case?"
"He's quiet, but very kind. In his own words, he's "Socially awkward" but he's a really good person." the female Ignis smiled.
He nodded hearing that before they noticed Skye walking over, "Sorry for the wait... this took a while to get right."
"It's alright, we were just talking." Yusaku mentioned only to pause. "By the way, when is your brother getting back?"
"Should be later tonight." Skye said handing him a plate of what seemed like Sushi.
He nodded hearing that before sighing and just closing his eyes.
"Is something wrong?" Skye asked him worried.
"I just... I don't know what's going to happen." Yusaku admitted to her. "For the first six years of my life I looked up to my parents, aunts and uncles, and all their friends so much but then the incident... then I've spent the past ten years of my life trying to figure out what it was all for and why it happened. Now the biggest part of my life is about to end and... for once I have no clue what's next. Even if it takes another year or two to finally reach the end... what next?"
Skye looked to him before looking down, and looked up to him, "I think I know."
Hearing that he met her eyes. "You do?"
Skye had a smile before saying, "Well... maybe together we can be the best Charisma Duelists together. As you said before to me, I need to evolve, and change my way from Blue Angel into something new. Maybe it's also time when Roget is over with for you as Playmaker to change too. Instead of a hunter for the Knights of Hanoi, you will instead be a Charisma Duelist that aspires to bring hope to everyone in Link VRAINS... along with being the new Blue Angel's special someone."
Yusaku looked away but couldn't completely hide the small blush that appeared on his face. Skye couldn't help but giggle at this, "Well my Playmaker, will you join your Blue Angel?"
"I..." he started only for the door to suddenly open.
Hearing that they looked over. It was Emma and Akira walking in only to blink noticing Yusaku.
"Oh, did we interrupt?" Emma teased.
Skye blushed at that, "W-We are having dinner together, and talking."
"Oh, well we wanted to let you know what we've learned about the lock on Link Vrains." Akira explained.
"Does this mean you have a way to break it?" Yusaku asked.
"No, but I noticed right as the Lancers defeated the Hell deck the lock he put on Link Vrains glitched for just a moment... If I'm right the more duels the Lancers win the more likely we'll be able to log into Link Vrains again." Akira answered.
"So the more the Lancers win the less powerful the lock is." Skye said hearing that cupping her chin, "We better not tell the Lancers or Roget would overhear."
"I won't." Akira nodded.
Yusaku nodded before turning to Skye. "I should head home, but to answer your earlier question... I think... I think so, yes."
With that he left. He takes his Duel Disk, and Sushi in a container before leaving which they watched before Emma asked, "Question...?"
Skye only smiled at this before saying, "As soon as Roget is beaten, the new Blue Angel with her new Playmaker will have a duo debut."
"I had a feeling it would be that." Emma smiled.
Meanwhile...
"Does it still have all the data from the duelists you beat?" Lilly asked as she was sitting in a room with Ryoken and the three lieutenants of the Knights of Hanoi. "The Tower?"
"If Sota, Akira, and Skye are now restored back, it's unlikely." Dr. Genome answered before asking, "Why do you ask?"
"Oh, I was thinking maybe if you had the data from the duelists... it could maybe serve as some kind of alarm or security system? If someone who isn't supposed to be in Link Vrains logs in or someone tries tampering with it you could be alerted? Maybe once Sota replaces King SOL Technologies could be included to keep everyone safe." Lilly admitted.
"Well perhaps duelists that it absorbed, it doesn't have there consciousness data but maybe it has there name data, or things like that in." Aso said to her crossing his arms.
Lilly nodded hearing that. Ryoken takes out a flashdrive before saying, "It has nearly all of Link VRAINS' accounts in. If we get a chance we can discuss with Sota about it. Of course, we still gotta play our part in his plan that he made to bring SOLs down from the inside."
"True." Clarissa nodded. "It's strange, thinking of going back to work there."
"It's probably what Dr. Kogami would've thought of doing once the Ignis are gone." Dr. Genome shrugged from this crossing his arms, "You know, he always puts humanity first above all else."
"Like mother in the past..." Ryoken looked down with interlocked fingers hearing that.
Lilly frowned seeing that as she gently rubbed his back. They watched before Clarissa asked Ryoken, "So you told her about your mother Ryoken?"
Ryoken nodded at that confirming that fact before Aso said to her, "You better inform her more of what happened at that time with her."
Ryoken turned towards Aso hearing that before looking over at Lilly.
"If you don't want to I understand." she mentioned.
Ryoken stared before closing her eyes, "Her physical condition was weak."
"Weak?" Lilly asked hearing that.
"When she was young, her condition had been frail, and everything she tries to do is much for her to take. She tries to get around this by working out, and exercising but you can guess it only worked a little. When she had me, and Sachiko she miraculously survived." Was the start of the explanation of what had happened. "But her condition weakened, and she had to stay at the hospital until her condition recovers enough. It was during me, and Sachiko's childhood that we have daily visits to her at the hospital while we grow up."
"That... I'm so sorry." Lilly whispered.
Ryoken only closed her eyes before then saying, "Then... it came."
"The funding needed for Link VRAINS' production." Was his answer before he turned his head to her, "Can you try to imagine how much funds are needed to produce something as big, and unimaginable as Link VRAINS?"
"Billions probably." she answered.
Ryoken nodded, "SOL Technologies wasn't as big as you thought it be. It was a small decent company that has lots of influence. To make a long story short to secure the needed funds for Link VRAINS' production as the prototypes are successful but unstable in large quantities, they need a alternate way to get money through... unconventional means."
Lilly frowned. "Illegal means?"
Ryoken only nodded as he stood up walking up to a window as they stared at him. "They find whoever has lots of money, and made threats to give them it or they will be shut down. SOL Technologies from back then, had connections towards the underworld, and so are rightly feared by there power. In addition towards stealing money from anywhere, they also forced them to keep quiet about it. They stole money from anywhere: Small businesses that got shut down, donation centers, big organizations, wildcare research facilities, and even... hospitals."
Lilly's eyes widened. "No... they didn't..."
Ryoken only stared before turning his head to her confirming what she's thinking:
"Even the hospital mother was staying. Lots of people that are in critical condition died from SOL Technologies stealing the hospital fundings to get the needed care for treatment. Along with that is the medicine needed for mother to take to keep her condition stable. Her health gotten worse over time, and eventually..."
He turned his head back finishing grimly.
"She fell asleep... for good."
Lilly immediately hugged him tightly. Ryoken stayed before he slowly hugged her back.
"Now do you get why we are always having a bone to pick with SOL Technologies?" Dr. Genome asked Lilly from this. "Not only do they seek to use the Ignis for there own selfish agendas, they also have many people suffer without looking back including the death of Miss. Kogami."
"And I... Skye, Yusaku... we all wanted to be a part of that, to work as Charisma Duelists from that kind of... we really are just stupid children." Lilly whispered. "If there's anything I can do... please, just tell me."
Ryoken pushed her for him to look at her face before saying, "Help us take down SOL Technologies."
"I will." she nodded.
"Not just for us... for everyone else... including the underground." Ryoken said before saying, "I'm no supporter of the underground but once SOL Technologies had the power needed to rise from Link VRAINS' debut, they stabbed there former comrades at the back, and stole everything from them. All they wanted was a way to survive, and working with SOL Technologies cost that chance with them."
"I understand." Lilly nodded.
Ryoken from there walked handing Lilly what looks like a Data Card.
"What's this?" she asked taking it.
"It's a program that we had created. Install it in your Duel Disk, and it allows us to communicate in ways that SOLs won't catch on. It also has anti-Ignis codes so if you were attacked by one, it would have no effect." Ryoken answered to her.
She frowned. "What would happen if Yusaku used this program? Ai's in his Duel Disk after all."
"Nothing will happen to the DARK Ignis if the program is installed. Why go after the DARK Ignis at this point when we can align together? We're not trying to relieve old scars, once our score with SOL has been fulfilled, and we figure out the meaning of the simulations, then our conflict with the Ignis will either continue or end." Ryoken answered before then adding, "You have my word."
Lilly shook her head. "I know, I trust..."
She paused.
"Love you."
With that she put the program in her Duel Disk before hugging him again. Ryoken hugged her back at this before Clarissa smiled greeting, "Then Lilly, welcome to our cause."
Lilly nodded before smiling slightly. "Do you mind if I skip the outfit the other Knights wear?"
Ryoken nodded hearing that, "What your appearance is doesn't matter. In fact, I am thinking of changing my avatar's appearance as a way to prove I moved on."
Lilly nodded at that.
With Steve and Sachiko...
Sachiko was walking with Steve while he holds the bouquet in the vase, "Are you sure you don't want me to carry it?"
"Not at all." he smiled.
Sachiko nodded before she looked up at the sky, "I wonder if she's watching down on us."
"I'm sure she is." Steve answered softly.
She looked over to her new boyfriend at that.
"She would be proud of you and your brother." Steve answered.
She smiled at that before saying, "Hearing you say that makes me sure she's okay in Heaven."
Steve nodded before sighing. "How long have we known each other Sachiko?"
Sachiko gives thought as they stopped for a moment before she then admitted, "Been probably 6 years by now."
"And it took nearly all six for me to admit my feelings. You're more patient than most people." he chuckled.
Sachiko smiled at that before saying in a sing-song, "Patience is a virtue."
"True, one that might be rewarded once we get back." he smiled.
Sachiko smiled kissing his cheek at that.
"When we get this back in our room, is there anything you want to try while we have the chance?" he inquired.
Sachiko gives some thought about it to think how to decide. Soon she smiled to him, "Maybe watch a movie together?"
"That sounds perfect." he smiled softly.
So once they arrived back in there hotel room Steve places the flower on the table while Sachiko opens her Firestick to pick which movie for them to watch. As she did he smiled before sitting next to her and wrapping an arm around her shoulders. She smiled to him before selecting the movie, and pressed play while they watch in silence to see.
As they watched he gently kissed her head. "I love you."
"Oh..." Sachiko leaned close to him with closed eyes having a smile, "I love you two."
He smiled softly at that.
In Link Vrains with Sora and Yuya...
Yuya was looking like a performer called Magician was with Sora who is a demonic toymaker under the name Fright Master looking for Roget together.
"Hopefully he doesn't have something as powerful as the Hell Deck this time." Fright Master admitted.
"I don't know Fright Master. I mean, Prince said that the Hell Deck was ranked 3rd with Tentacluster at 1st." Magician said to him, "So now he's probably using the 2nd or a Deck that's probably stronger then current modern Decks."
"Yeah... hopefully I can hold my own against those decks." Fright Master admitted.
"Well this time the two of us will fight together." Magician grinned to Sora.
Fright Master smiled only to frown. "There's the welcoming committee."
Magician looked to see the army of Ancient Gear Soldiers up ahead.
"Ready to rock?" Magician asked Fright Master with a grin without turning his head to him.
"Where'd that come from?" Fright Master chuckled despite nodding.
With that they jumped off landing in front of the Soldiers on one knee before raising up, and Magician called, "Roget! We know your watching!"
"Why don't you come out and duel us yourself, or are you afraid to duel without being able to come back over and over again?" Fright Master questioned.
They hear Roget laughing, "Well well Yuya, and Sora... it's been a while you two."
"Not long enough." Magician frowned.
"Indeed. Oh, where are my manners... I mean Zarc?" Roget asked Yuya with a smirk.
"Zarc's gone, Yuya and him aren't the same anymore." Fright Master told him.
"Well yes I suppose so but no matter the things that transpire it will be I that's supreme." Roget arrogantly said to the two with a smirk, "To where not even one of the leading commanders, and greatest Dueltainer together can defeat."
Magician and Fright Master frowned hearing that.
"The Infernity Deck, and the Hell Deck may have failed but I got plenty more options."
One Soldier walked forward activating it's Duel Disk. Seeing that Fright Master turned to Magician before nodding as he activated his own Duel Disk.
"Sora we can work together against that soldier." Magician points out to him.
Fright Master turned to him. "I know we can, but I'm going to duel on my own this time."
"Well it doesn't matter how, this soldier will make sure you won't get a chance." Roget smirked from this.
Fright Master frowned.
"DUEL!" he called.

"Huh, what kind of deck is this?" Fright Master questioned.
Suddenly the top card of Fright Master glowed before vanishing. (Fright Master's Deck: 34/40)
"Huh, what just happened?" he asked seeing that.
"I'll let you discover that." Roget smirked deciding to keep that to himself.
The Soldier points to his monster which glowed before it discards a card, and takes a card from it's Deck showing a Field Spell. Fright Master frowned seeing that. secs agoIt activated the card as the area changed around them where Fright Master, and Magician together looked around seeing there in a large ruin where a fountain of a demon is at the side.

The Soldier only ended it's turn.
"Sora be careful there's something fishy about that Deck of his." Magician warned his friend.
Ancient Gear Soldier's Hand: 2/Field: Runick Fountain (Field Zone/Extra Monster Zone), Hugin the Runick Wings (Defense Position), Runick Allure (face-up)
Fright Master 1st Turn:
(Fright Master's Deck: 33/40)

You can only activate 1 "Runick Smiting Storm" per turn.
"What?" Fright Master questioned. "You can't, even Quick-Play spells have to be set to use them on my turn."
"Foolish boy." Roget smirked at this, "The Field Spell, Runick Fountains allows the player using them to use Runick Quick-Play Spells from the hand during there opponent's turn."
"So the deck is called Runick, so what does that spell do?" Fright Master questioned.
He notices his Deck glowing before his four top cards vanished. (Fright Master's Deck: 29/40)
'A mill deck?' Fright Master thought seeing that before frowning. "That's a cowardly strategy Roget."
"Sometimes you have to depend on Decks that use underminded tactics." Roget said in a not caring voice, "And now Runick Allure's own effect activates. Every time a Quick-Play Spell is activated your top card is banished."
Fright Master's Deck glowed again as it's top card vanished. (Fright Master's Deck: 28/40)
"So that was the effect from before on that Soldier's first turn." Magician realized seeing that with widen eyes, "Sora you better be careful, Mill Decks are pretty tricky to beat."
"I know, but I'll be fine." Fright Master grinned. "I use Fluffal Owl's ability."
The Owl cawed spreading it's wings.
"By paying 500 life points I can Fusion Summon so I'll merge Fluffal Owl, Edge Imp Sabres, and Fluffal Bear together." Fright Master grinned as the three monsters flew up to the Fusion Vortex. "I Fusion Summon Frightfur Wolf!"

The Soldier only stared at this.
"Thanks to the Pendulum Effect of Edge Imp Cotton Eater all my Fusion Monsters gain 300 attack points." Fright Master explained.
Frightfur Wolf: (ATK: 2000 + 300 = 2300)
"Frightfur Wolf attack!"
The Wolf howled charging in striking down the Soldier's monster as it stared not taking any damage.
"You might have destroyed Hugin of the Runick Wings but whenever it's destroyed, it returns back to the Extra Deck." Roget stated as the Soldier placed the card back into the Deck.
"Frightfur Wolf attack!" Fright Master called again.
The Wolf charged in again where the Soldier uses a card which was a copy of the first spell it used before what rose in the Extra Monster Zone was a orange furred fox growling.

You can only use this effect of "Freki the Runick Fangs" once per turn.
'Another monster?' Fright Master frowned seeing that as his wolf destroyed the fox.
His Deck glowed as a card vanished from Runick Allure. (Fright Master's Deck: 27/40)
"You might think it was a shield, and it was as battle damage to the Soldier was nullified due to Freki's effect. However when you attack it your top two cards of your Deck are banished." The Deck glowed before two cards vanished. (Fright Master's Deck: 25/40) "And as you destroyed it, Freki's ability allows the Soldier to reclaim a Quick-Play Spell card from the graveyard."
The Soldier takes the card showing it's Runick Smiting Storm. Fright Master's eyes widened before he frowned. "I end my turn."
Fright Master's Hand: 1/Field: Edge Imp Cotton Eater (Pendulum), Fluffal Angel (Pendulum), Frightfur Wolf (Attack Position/ATK: 2300)/Deck: 25/40

Once per turn, during the End Phase: Gain 1000 LP.
(Fright Master's Deck: 24/40)

Runick Destruction

Activate 1 of these effects, but skip your next Battle Phase after activation;

● Special Summon 1 "Runick" monster from your Extra Deck to the Extra Monster Zone.
You can only activate 1 "Runick Destruction" per turn.
Just then Edge Imp Cotton Eater glowed before vanishing as Fright Master's Deck glowed where four cards followed by 1 from Runick Allure vanished. (Fright Master's Deck: 19/40)
Frightfur Master frowned seeing that. "With Cotten Eater destroyed Frightfur Wolf loses his attack points."
Frightfur Wolf: (ATK: 2300 - 300 = 2000)
"Sora you only got half your Deck left. If you don't figure something out soon then you'll run out of cards." Magician said worried for Fright Master, "But hey at least that robot doesn't have anymore cards in his hand."
"I know." Fright Master mentioned.
"Sorry what do you mean, 'run-out'?" Roget smirked before saying, "Sorry to disappoint you boys but Runick Fountain has another effect."
"Huh?" Fright Master asked in shock.
"Once every turn, when a Runick Quick-Play Spell is activated, it's player can place three from the graveyard into the bottom of the Deck, and draw the same number of cards." the Soldier takes the three cards placing them before drawing 3 cards with Roget explaining it.
Fright Master's eyes widened hearing that.
"The Runicks are the 4th Deck selected by SOL Technologies, and despite Mill Decks not being as common it is still a promising Deck to use against enemies." Roget smirked before laughing at this.
'That... I only have one chance to win now, but I have to draw that card.' Fright Master thought nervously.
The Soldier ended it's turn as Munin glowed giving it energy. (Ancient Gear Soldier: 5000/Hand: 3)
"Wait that monster heals him every round?" Magician asked with shocked eyes.
"At the end of every turn Munin the Runick Wings gives 1000 points to it's player." Roget smirked from this.
Ancient Gear Soldier's Hand: 3/Field: Runick Fountain (Field Zone), Munin the Runick Wings (Defense Position), Runick Allure (face-up)
Fright Master 2nd Turn:
Fright Master drew his card before taking a slow breath. "I summon Fluffal Dog."

"When this monster is summoned I can destroy cards up to the number of monsters I used to make him and that means all three of your cards are destroyed!"
Tiger roared charging in forward but they see the Soldier reaching for something on Munin's card.
"What now?" Magician questioned.
"When an effect targets a Runick card or a set card on the field, Munin the Runick Wings can be banished to negate the effect, and destroy it." Roget explained with a smirk.
Fright Master's eyes widened hearing that as Frightfur Tiger shattered. "I... end my turn." 'Darn it, but at least we know how this deck works... the only question is who can stop spells from working?'

The Soldier added a card before another card vanished, and then Runick Allure glowed which vanished another card from Fright Master's Deck. (Fright Master's Deck: 17/40)

Wolf howled as both it, and Fluffal Angel glowed shattering before 6 cards vanished. (Fright Master's Deck: 11/40) Then Runick Allure glowed twice which made two more cards vanish. (Fright Master's Deck: 9/40)
Fright Master's eyes widened before he frowned. The Soldier ended it's turn with that.

Fright Master 3rd Turn:
Fright Master drew his card only to frown ending his move. "I can't do anything."
Magician grunted at this before calling, "Alright I'm stepping in!" He moved to activate his Duel Disk.
"Magician no!" Fright Master told him. "We need to regroup before dueling again, besides... I need to check something with the others, please just trust me."
Magician looked at him hearing that, "Sora... are you sure?"
He just nodded.

Another card vanished from Runick Allure. (Fright Master's Deck: 8/40) Then it used another card which was Runick Slumber pointing at Hugin who glowed.
Hugin: (Cannot be destroyed once this turn)
Before three cards vanished along with an extra card from Runick Allure. (Fright Master's Deck: 4/40) Then Fountain's effect activated as it returned three cards to the bottom before drawing 3 cards.

At that Fright Master, and Magician were logged off.
"Are you two alright?" Shay asked when they appeared.
"Yeah, but we need a way to stop spells." Sora answered frowning.
Sota from seeing this frowned, "I didn't think he be the type to use the Runick Deck of all things."
"It's an annoying deck, but anything that stops Spell Cards should stop the deck completely right?" Yuya asked. "Does anyone have any idea how to do that?"
They all give thought about this not having much ideas from this. Just then Sota gets an idea, "Of course, Imperial Order!"
"Imperial Order, do any of you run that?" Rin asked. "I don't."
They all shake there head before Sota turned to them, "We might know someone who does." They looked at him as he answered, "Ryoken."
"Then we should go and talk with him." Celina mentioned. "I'll head over right now."
Ulrich362: Another powerful deck... though this time one with a rather massive weak point Sora just wasn't able to exploit this time.
bopdog111: The Runick Deck otherwise formally called Mysterune.
Ulrich362: True, but next up someone will probably take the Runick deck down without much effort.
bopdog111: Assuming they don't destroy it first.
Ulrich362: True, well see you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
