bopdog111: Sorry we been gone for a while everyone. We were going through the Holidays.
Ulrich362: True, they were definitely enjoyable.
bopdog111: I gotten some neat stuff, and celebrated it with my niece since this is her first time with Christmas, and New Years.
Ulrich362: That's awesome, I'm sure she had an amazing time.
bopdog111: And now we are back to work starting with Bohman's next match.
Ulrich362: True, it's been a while since we've seen him and unlike in canon he's going to be a much more competent duelist. Enjoy the chapter.
Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V, Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS, or the World Legacy cards but we own the OCs!
Lightning was in his Palace watching a match that was between God, and Windy over, and saw Windy broke through his brainwashing program several times, and in the end God defeated him in battle. But then his avatar acted up absorbing Windy onto him, and freeing him from his programing. Seeing that he narrowed his eyes. "So that's his game."
"What do we do now that Windy is in there possession?" Harlin spoke over having seen the match himself.
"It doesn't matter, we still have all the data from the match." Lightning stated over. "Besides once he comes over again Bohman will be waiting ahead to take Windy back."
"Should we send Bit and Boot out again?" Harlin suggested.
Lightning thinks before turning over. "Bohman."
He looked up from where he was meditating. "Yes?"
"Your going in next." Lightning said over calmly.
"Alone, or with Harlin?" he asked simply.
"Alone. As the Ignis' perfect vessel you don't need some assistance. Just know I won't tolerate failure."
Bohman just nodded getting up as he prepared to transport into Link VRAINS.
"Bohman?" He turned over to Harlin who smiled over. "Good luck."
Smiling Bohman just nodded at that. He transported away for his mission at this.
Meanwhile...
Lilly, and Ryoken are together walking with Skye and both Ai, and Midna in the Duel Disks to show Midna to the Lancers, and everyone. Yusaku will also be there taking a small break from him advancing as a Charisma Duelist to see how everything is going.
"Oh, what's that?" Midna asked looking at some birds.
"Those are birds little Mindy." Ai came up with that petname for her. "Avian like creatures capable of flight!"
"Wow... they sound magical." Midna smiled happily. "Oh, I like the fluffy white ones a lot."
"What fluffy white ones?" Ai blinked looking over.
"The ones up there." Midna pointed as Ryoken closed his eyes.
"Those are clouds, not birds." he told her simply.
"Clouds are there to give the planet water." Skye explained to Midna with a soft smile.
"Wow..." she whispered in awe.
"I wonder what the others will think." Skye admitted thoughtfully only to pause and suddenly frown. "Midna, let's play hide and seek... it's where you hide and try not to be found ok... a good spot is in a Duel Disk."
"Okay!" Minda went in her Duel Disk.
"Skye?" Lilly blinked seeing that.
"We're about to pass SOL Technologies." she answered quietly indicating the building. "We don't want to take any risks."
"Oh!" Ai quickly retreated back himself.
With that they walked past calmly to not draw unwanted attention before after a while Lilly and Skye tapped their Duel Disks to let Ai and Midna know it was ok to come out. The two raised up as Ai sighed wiping his head. "Consider this a life lesson little Mindy, there will be some people who want your help for evil things."
"Huh, but I don't want to help mean people." she mentioned. "So I would just say no."
"They won't take no for an answer. So be sure you stay strong for dueling." Skye answered over for her.
Midna nodded before her eyes widened. "Oh... what's that?" She was looking at a screen displaying Link VRAINS with wide eyes.
"That's Link VRAINS. A place where Duelists go, and duel all over globally." Skye answered over with a smile.
She smiled at that only for them to notice a familiar figure on the screen, Bohman.
"Wait Bohman!?" Lilly looked stunned seeing he's there. "Why is he on Link VRAINS right now!?"
"I don't know, but we should let the others know." Skye frowned seeing him. "It doesn't look like he's with his partner though."
"We better hurry on, and tell them!" Ai said over to them.
"Right." Lilly nodded as they ran back to Cafe Nom.
They ran over eventually Cafe Nom where everyone was talking with Yusaku about his latest match over before they noticed they running over.
"Huh, what's going on?" Yuri asked seeing them.
"Bohman's in Link VRAINS!" Lilly said over to them.
"What!?" Yusaku questioned. "Ai!"
"Right, let's take him down just like last time." Ai mentioned.
"Wait." a voice break as they looked seeing Rin raising up. "I'll duel him this time."
"Rin, are you sure? You saw how strong he was and if he brings out one of his Link Monsters..." Yugo started only for Rin to frown.
"I know, but don't worry I can handle it." she mentioned.
"Are you sure Rin?" Declan asked her.
Rin looked at him. "I am, and in fact... I brought along something from my home dimension... a certain card that might come in handy."
"What card?" Minda spoke up at that.
"Who said that?" Yuya asked.
"Oh her." Lilly raised her Duel Disk showing Midna to them.
"What the? Is that an Ignis?" Yugo questioned in shock.
"I never seen her before!" Flame gasped seeing a foreign Ignis.
"Me neither." Earth admitted over.
"She's Lilly's." Ryoken answered how that can be.
"What? But Lilly wasn't part of the incident." Celina argued.
"No, but she was only born recently." Lilly mentioned.
"We can talk about this new Ignis once I get back." Rin pointed out. "We don't want to lose him again."
"Room's ready for you." Cal spoke up to her.
Rin nodded putting on her Duel Disk and stepping into the room. "Into the VRAINS!"
She glowed bright changing in appearance.
Meanwhile in Link VRAINS...
Bohman is flying around Link VRAINS looking around for a member of the Lancers or of SOL Technologies to duel over after they lost Windy. Soon he felt a slight chill as he turned to see a girl with icy blue hair wearing a white dress that seemed to flow and sparkle as if made of ice race up to him.
"You're Bohman right?" the girl asked.
"And you are?" Bohman stared over to her.
"Kitakaze, it's japanese for northern wind if you weren't aware and just like my name suggests I'll freeze you in a Speed Duel." Kitakaze told him.
"Very well, I'll take you out on a Speed Duel." Bohman hearing that prepared himself as he, and Kitakaze flown over before he pointed ahead. "Whoever passes that pillar can decide who gets the first turn, agreed?" He points over to a pillar in the distance.
"What, you've never heard of ladies first?" Kitakaze asked him.
"Formalities mean little in a war." Bohman sped off ahead.
Kitakaze frowned before racing after him. The two raced together hard moving around trying to outrace each other. Eventually reaching a corner Kitakaze managed to get a first inch ahead racing passed the pillar.
"Looks like I'm going first anyway." she told Bohman drawing her cards. "And I won't hold back against you."
"Likewise." Bohman grinned as they readied.
"DUEL!"

"A fusion monster?" Bohman blinked seeing it. "The same one you used under a Parasite's influence?" He pretty much knows this is Rin based on her Deck.
Kitakaze flinched slightly. "That might be where I got this monster, but if you know who I am you know that this monster has a new meaning and that's why I keep her in my deck. I set one card and end my turn."
Kitakaze's Hand: 1/Field: Windwitch - Crystal Bell (Attack Position), Windwitch - Diamond Bell (Attack Position), One Set Card

"Very well then, I draw!" Bohman drew before checking over Kitakaze's field.

Kitakaze frowned seeing the monster but she just nodded calmly. "Alright."
"When this card is Link Summoned, I take Cyberse World to my hand." Bohman adds a card.
"Wait what?" Kitakaze asked in shock.
"And now I activate Cyberse World!"
The area around them started transforming before landscapes rose up with a large tower. By the end of it, it looks as though 6 elemental landscapes are around them

Kitakaze looked at the field in shock.
Meanwhile outside Ai's eyes widened in shock.
"That... that's it... Cyberse World!" he cried.
"Why does Bohman have a card like it in his Deck?" Flame was astonished seeing his home is now under an enemy's hand.
"It has to be Lightning." Aqua frowned.
They watched over as Bohman grinned over to Kitakaze. "How is it feel to be in the world I destroyed?" Kitakaze blinked widening her eyes as Bohman spread his arms to confirm. "Yes. I was the one who destroyed Cyberse World!"
"You... you what?" she asked in shock. "Why?"
Bohman only smirked. "Call it a test run for the power I possess."
Kitakaze glared at him hearing that. "You'll regret that."
"Lightning... what made you like this...?" Aqua had tears holding a hand to her heart.
"We'll find out when we beat him, but... we have to make sure Sota isn't there when we do just to be safe... especially after what King made him do." Declan noted.
Back at the duel...
"Whenever Cyberse World activates I add a Cyberse monster to my hand." Bohman adds a card. "And also all Cyberse Link Monsters on the field gain 200 attack points equal to there Link Rating while Cyberse World is active."
Flow Hydradrive: (ATK: 1000 + 200 = 1200)
Alteration Hydradrive: (ATK: 0 + 200 = 200)
Kitakaze flinched seeing that. "Even with that boost your monster isn't strong enough to beat mine."
"Well I'm not done yet." Bohman said over to her. "Next I summon Hydradrive Elements!" A crystal baring the Hydradrive crest appeared on the field.

"Elements other effect activates!" Bohman raised his arm as the card in his GY glowed. "When it's used for a Link Summon, I can change the Attribute of one monster on the field!"
"Wait what?" Kitakaze questioned in shock hearing that. "Change my monster's attribute?"
The Fusion monster glowed as a blue aura appeared around her.
Windwitch - Crystal Bell: (Attribute: WATER)
"Why would you do that, it doesn't make any sense." Kitakaze frowned.

"No Marker's Portal..." Ai trailed off with crossed arms seeing it.
"That's good right, it means Rin can destroy it." Yuya pointed out.
At the duel, Bohman then called over. "Alteration's effect activates! It's Attribute becomes WIND!" Alteration rose up raising it's staff before it gained a green outline.
Alteration: (Attribute: WIND)
"Why do I have a bad feeling all of a sudden?" Kitakaze frowned glancing at the card in her hand, her Windwitch - Blizzard Bell.
"Appear again circuit that guides us!" The circuit appeared as Coolant, and Alteration entered the arrows. "Link Summon! Link 2, Twin Hydradrive Knight!" Knight rose up reading it's twin swords.

"Hold on, 1800 and if that thing's attack points get boosted by his field spell and then doubled... isn't that 4000?" Yugo asked nervously.
Yusaku frowned. "Yes, it is."
"Knight's effect activates! It's Attribute becomes the same as the monsters used for it's Link Summon!" Both of Knight's swords glowed blue, and green.
Knight: (Attribute: WIND/WATER)
"All monsters on your field with the same attribute as Knight have there effects negated! Property Zero!" Knight raised it's swords as two different colored snakes appeared from them charging, and wrapping around the two Windwitches.

Bohman turned over as a large wind enveloped Knight.
Twin Hydradrive Knight: (Attribute: EARTH/Effects Negated/ATK: 1800 / 2 + (200 * 2) = 1300)
"Good, now even with Judgement Arrows boost it isn't strong enough to destroy her monsters." Ai mentioned seeing that.
"Why doesn't Bohman look worried though?" Celina doesn't like that Bohman still looks calm.
Ryoken frowned at that unaware that Midna had gotten a bit nervous and moved to be closer to him to feel safer.
"I expected as such. Now that you used your trap, you can't stop my true monster." Bohman said over towards Kitakaze.
"True monster?" Kitakaze asked hearing that as she frowned. "What do you mean?"

Trident Hydradrive Lord: (Attribute: EARTH/WIND/WATER)
"If you have a monster with the same Attribute on the field, there effects are negated! Property Zero!" The same two energy snakes appeared wrapping around both of Kitakaze's monsters.
Kitakaze's eyes widened as both of her monsters effects were negated and they looked weakened.
Windwitch - Diamond Bell: (Effects Negated)

"I set 2 cards!" Bohman sets the rest of his hand before turning. "And now Trident Lord attacks Crystal Bell!" Trident Lord turned charging up to slash down. "At this moment Judgement Arrows' effect applies!" The Link Spell glowed on the field. "Trident Lord's attack points are doubled!"

Glacial Winds
Kitakaze's Skill
Until the end of the current turn the effects of all WIND Monsters you control cannot be negated and they cannot be destroyed in battle.
"This prevents you from negating the effects of my wind monsters and you can't destroy them in battle."
All three of Kitakaze's monsters regained there color from this. Bohman merely smirked seeing this as a challenge. "So you have a backup against Property Zero I see..."
Kitakaze frowned before nodding. "I send Windwitch - Blizzard Bell to the graveyard in order to activate her ability and deal 500 points of damage, and then since you took damage Windwitch - Diamond Bell's ability destroys Judgement Arrows!"
Blizzard Bell lowered down but Bohman opened his eyes. "I also know the tricks, you have! I activate Interference Canceller!" A trap appeared on his field.

"By targeting a co-linked monster such as Trident Lord, at anytime you would deal damage from a card effect, the damage becomes zero up to the Link Rating of Trident Lord!" Bohman called as a harmless breeze passed by him. "This card is banished during my End Phase."
Kitakaze's eyes widened in shock hearing that.
"No way, if she doesn't deal damage Diamond Bell can't destroy anything." Yugo frowned.
"I... I switch Diamond Bell to defense position and have to end my turn." Kitakaze mentioned nervously as her Skill wore off.
Kitakaze's Hand: 1/Field: Windwitch - Diamond Bell (Defense Position/Effects Negated), Windwitch - Winter Bell (Defense Position/Effects Negated), Windwitch - Ice Bell (Defense Position/Effects Negated)
Bohman 2nd Turn:
"Very well, I draw!" Bohman drew his next card looking over. "I activate Hydradrive Cycle!" Another trap appeared.
(face-up)
Hydradrive Cycle
Continuous Trap Card
During your Standby Phase, you can activate this effect: Return 1 "Hydradrive" Link Monster from your GY to the Extra Deck, then you can apply these effects.

You can only activate this effect of "Hydradrive Cycle" once per turn. Once per turn, during the Main Phase 1: You can pay 400 LP and declare 1 Attribute (EARTH, WATER, FIRE, WIND, LIGHT, or DARK); Special Summon 1 "Hydradrive Token" (Cyberse/EARTH/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0) to your field in Defense Position, and if you do, it becomes the declared Attribute.

"During the Standby Phase, I return a Hydradrive Link Monster back to my Extra Deck to the graveyard. By doing this, I can draw cards equal to the returned Monster's Link Rating, and summon a Hydradrive from the graveyard but it's attack points become 0!" Knight returned back as Coolant rose up again as Bohman drew two cards.
Coolant Hydradrive: (ATK: 1000 - 1000 = 0)
"And now appear circuit that guides us!" Bohman generated a circuit as the two flew up entering the arrows of Borreload Dragon.
Kitakaze's eyes widened in shock seeing that. "Link 4?"
"Appear Link 4! Tesseract Hydradrive Monarch!"
Lowering down was a large naga like monster with red armor, and four arms each holding swords while an extra arm holds a large shield that is shaped like the Hydradrive crest readying on the field.

Once per turn, during the Battle Phase, if this card battled this turn: You can make your opponent send 1 face-up monster they control with the same Attribute as this card to the GY (their choice), and if they do, this card can attack an opponent's monster again in a row. If this card is destroyed: You can pay 1000 LP; Special Summon this card, and if you do, double its ATK, but banish it during your End Phase. You can only activate this effect of "Tesseract Hydradrive Monarch" once per turn.
"Tesseract's effect activates! In addition to EARTH, it's Attribute becomes 3 others! Just as WIND, WATER, and DARK!" Bohman called over as all four swords glowed brown, purple, green, and blue. "While face-up, all your monsters with the same Attribute has there effects negated! Property Zero!" Two snakes appeared wrapping around both the monsters. "In addition those monsters are banished should they leave the field!"
Tesseract Hydradrive Monarch: (Attribute: EARTH/WATER/WIND/DARK/ATK: 3000 + (200 * 4) = 3800)
Kitakaze's eyes widened in shock hearing that.
Windwitch - Diamond Bell: (Effects Negated/Banished when leaves the field)
Windwitch - Winter Bell: (Effects Negated/Banished when leaves the field)
Windwitch - Ice Bell: (Effects Negated/Banished when leaves the field)
"And next I activate Cycle's effect! By paying 400 points, I can summon a Hydradrive Token with any Attribute I want such as WIND!" A Token appeared with a green outline. (Bohman: 2300/Hand: 1)

You can only activate this effect of "Flow Hydradrive" once per turn.
Flow: (ATK: 1000 + (200 * 1) = 1200)
"Now time to battle!" Bohman called. "Tesseract attack Diamond Bell!" The four armed monster charged in towards the Synchro Monster.
Kitakaze could only watch as her monster shattered from the attack.
"Tesseract's other effect activates! At the end of the battle, you send 1 monster with the same Attribute as it to the graveyard, and when you do, Tesseract can attack another monster!" Bohman said over towards Kitakaze.
"What!?" Kitakaze cried in shock as Ice Bell vanished.
"But she doesn't have another monster so what point is that?" Yugo asked seeing this confused.
"It's obvious. He knows of Lost Wind's power, and had prepared a counter should she use it." Declan said over to him. "She uses it on Monarch, Flow is there to attack. She uses it on Flow, he uses the Monarch to clear her field so Flow can attack directly with Judgement Arrows giving it enough strength to finish the duel."
Yuto frowned at that. 'Rin...'
"And now final attack! Flow Hydradrive attack Kitakaze directly!" Flow charged in charging a wind attack over. "Judgement Arrows' effect!"
Flow Hydradrive: (ATK: 1200 x 2 = 2400)
Kitakaze braced herself as the attack hit.

Bohman wins!
She was launched down landing on a platform as Bohman flew down staring at her as she looked back. He surprises her by offering a hand to help her stand up.
"What?" she questioned in shock taking it. "Why are you helping me up?"
Bohman helps her stand up as he grinned over. "Your a good duelist. I have respect for you, and your fellow Lancers, and it was an honor to duel someone like you Rin. Hopefully if circumstances change we can be friends." Bohman is based off of Playmaker from what Lightning said over so he has some of Yusaku's traits notably being honorable, and giving respect towards opponents even the Lancers.
She blinked before nodding. "Who knows, it might be possible."
With that she logged out. Bohman stares off before hopping on, and flying out to return to Lightning.
With the Lancers Rin logged out before frowning. "That could have gone better, I thought I caught him off guard but he ended up beating me instead."
"Maybe, but it sounds like we might be able to get through to him... and if we can get through to Lightning that's the key." Ai pointed out.
"He clearly has knowledge about us during the War." Sylvio frowned over with crossed arms. "So it'll be tricky the next we face him cause he's familiar with mostly all of us."
"That's true, but I have a feeling it'll work out." Zuzu reassured him.
"I agree, and knowing our decks is only half the battle, the other half is out dueling us and with every match more of his strategies are going to be revealed." Yuri smirked.
"Well now... that we have time." Celina turned over towards Midna. "We should probably get to know our new teammate."
"Oh, hi... my name's Midna. Mommy gave it to me, I'm the TWILIGHT Ignis." Midna smiled waving to her. "Nice to meet you."
"Mommy huh?" Celina turned to a teasing look aimed at Lilly.
Lilly blushed a bit at that but was smiling. "That's right, Lilly is my little girl, me and Ryoken... which means you're grandma."
Midna's eyes widened hearing that before flying over to hug Celina. "Hi grandma!"
Celina blinked but smiled using one hand in a attempt to hug her. "Good to meet you Midna." Before she turned Midna to Yuri, "And this is Grandpa."
Yuri just gave a small nod as Midna smiled flying back over to Lilly. "Oh, I love grandma and grandpa mommy, they seem so nice!"
Yuri then gave a teasing stare towards Lilly. "Well Lilly, while I'm glad for you, and Ryoken please don't give me, and your mother anymore grandkids until you two are married." Meant to tease her about it.
Her eyes widened and she blushed badly. "Dad... I'm not going to do that."
She turned to Ryoken only to blink seeing he wasn't there.
"Huh, Ryoken?"
"We got trouble." Sachiko voiced over to them seeing something in Link VRAINS.
Concerned they all looked over hearing that. They see another person wearing a flap like the Inner Circle. A balding obese man having a black Rook Chess Piece flap on it wearing black armor.
"Another member of the Inner Circle right? Should we go in after him?" Sora suggested.
"No need. Ryoken went in to confront him." Sachiko said over.
Yusaku frowned however sensing something odd with this guy. "I'm gonna head it. This one feels weird, I think Ryoken shouldn't be alone." He walked readying to log in.
"Be careful Yusaku, we don't know what he's capable of." Yuya warned him.
Yusaku nodded readying. "INTO THE VRAINS!"
Earlier back in SOL Technologies...
SOL was watching the duel between the two, and Rin lost against Bohman over which made Black narrowed his eyes about it.
"Perhaps the Lancers aren't as skilled as we thought." Bishop noted thoughtfully. "At least this one seems to be rather simple to defeat."\
"Nonsense." Black spoke up suddenly which made them turn over. "The reason why she lost was because he was superior created by Ignis as intended."
"Again with that Ignis superiority of yours, humans are clearly superior to them, just look at how easily Sota defeated the Wind Ignis." Lancelot Knight pointed out. "One lucky duel doesn't prove anything."
"Sota won cause he was intended to be." Black glared at Lancelot. "He, and that WIND Ignis are the same, and as intended Sota is better then he is."
"Look brother, we get that you think the Ignis are better since your the one who given the idea to Dr. Kogami to be better but even the Ignis have faults." White voiced over towards Black.
"Insolent thinking like you usually do." Black narrowed his eyes towards him. "You clearly understood nothing, it was cause of my genius that we have one of the greatest things we have. Now there scattered, and our own duelist, Sota is also the heir of SOL no better setting to use the Ignis then on this company." He is clearly arrogant that as the one who came up with the Ignis, it gave SOL a huge standing where there better then everyone, and takes pride in it.
"We have nothing, your plan that you gave Kogami created the six Ignis of which we have one... they escaped in case you've forgotten and they're nearly all in the hands of our enemies." Queen scowled glaring at Black. "If you want SOL's standing to stay above everyone else then go get one of them yourself."
"Challenge accepted. I shall prove that I am the greatest asset we have." Black stood up glaring at Queen. "And when I return I expect an apology letter from you." He turned away getting out to log in Link VRAINS.
"Why that fat-ass...!" Queen growled from this.
"Calm yourself Queen." King closed his eyes. "This may prove beneficial for us."
She sighed at that before nodding. "I suppose he does have some uses... if nothing else this will be good for a laugh."
With that they turned to the screen to see what would happen.
Black entered Link VRAINS in this avatar of black armor, and a flap of a black Rook Chess piece beginning his search for the Ignis looking around for several minutes.
"Black Rook, a member of SOL Technologies inner circle correct?" asked a male voice.
Hearing this Black looked over his shoulder. "And who's asking?"
"Varis, the leader of the Knights of Hanoi." Varis answered calmly.
Black blinked widening his eyes before then narrowing them. "Hmm, well well, Ryoken Kogami, pleased to meet you at least. This wasn't how I intend for the two of us to meet but I suppose this is fine. Cause now I can have you hand me the Ignis you all have."
"I'm not in possession of any Ignis." Varis noted calmly. "Though I do plan on seeing your skill as a duelist firsthand, I trust you're fine with a Master Duel? It's where duelists can display their true talents after all."
"No problems with me. I am curious over how my colleague's son duels with someone like me." Black said over as they flew down landing on the field.
"You worked with my father?" Varis inquired.
"Of course. We worked in the same department on creating AI." Black confirmed over to him. "Friends even. Nothing against the man of course, he was always a promising coder. And then the Hanoi Project with the Ignis happened. I wonder what inspired him to make such a scheme." He then pretended to realize something. "Oh, I remember how. I'm the one who gave him the idea."
Varis froze at that. "The Lost Incident, it was entirely your idea? Six children tortured for months, somehow it doesn't surprise me that the Inner Circle were the ones to come up with such a barbaric idea."
"We were chatting together over the future should SOL Technologies crumble. Humans trapped in flesh, and there legacy forgotten cause of AIs who only do as there told without true feelings for humanity." Black smirked over to Varis. "I had made the mention that AI with free will is the solution over, and he soon gotten the idea of the project from my suggestion."
Varis closed his eyes hearing that. "I understand, well, in that case that makes you the one person I simply cannot lose to."
"Well as the one who gave the idea of the Ignis life, you simply cannot lose to me." Black smirked before blinking looking past Varis. "Oh looks like the DARK Ignis is in my grasp."
Varis blinked turning as he frowned. "Playmaker, this is my battle."
"Don't mind me, we are here as backup. There is something about him that doesn't set right with me." Playmaker said landing behind Varis with Ai in his Duel Disk.
Black shrugged over. "Well alright then no reason to worry. Cause once I'm finished with him, you are next Fujiki."
Playmaker frowned at that only for Varis to smirk. "Make that claim after you've beaten me, assuming you even can."
With those words he landed and waited for Black and Playmaker to land.
"Very well." Black, and Varis readied.
"DUEL!"

Black 1st Turn:
"Seniority rules here boy!" Black decided over towards Varis as he swiped his arm making his hand appear.
"Careful Varis we have no idea what the Knightmare Deck is capable of..." Playmaker remembers over what Deck, Black uses from the story Sota told them about while wondering how Black knows about his real name.
"I'll handle this duel on my own Playmaker." Varis stated calmly.
"Very well. I start off by summoning Balancer Lord." Black raised a card as Balancer Lord appeared on his field.

"Hey! Why is he using Cyberse!? That's our thing!" Ai complained about seeing this.
"He was the one?" Playmaker looked surprised before then frowning. "That explains how he knows my identity then..."
"Well your aware now, so you can see how far above I am due to being responsible with the Ignis." Black adds a card from Lady Debugger's effect before he sets a card while pressing some buttons on his Duel Disk. "And it starts with this card, Terraforming!" He activated a spell that was set on his field.
Terraforming
Normal Spell Card
Add 1 Field Spell from your Deck to your hand.
"When I activate this spell, I add World Legacy's Nightmare to my hand!" Black shows a Field Spell when he pulled it out.
Varis's expression darkened slightly seeing that. 'Setting a spell instead of activating it?'
"And now appear the circuit of superiority!" The circuit appeared as the two flew up entering the arrows. "Phoenix born from the Core of the Mek Knights! Soar through the fires of hell, and raise up to serve the mortal god! Link Summon! Link 2, Knightmare Phoenix!"
Popping up was a large red fiendish phoenix slightly resembling Fire Phoenix but weaker screeching.

Varis frowned slightly hearing that.
"Mermaid's effect activates! I discard one card to summon a Knightmare from the Deck." Black discarded a card. "But then I chain with a new spell, Spell Card: "Monster Reborn"!" This time he didn't set this card before using it.
Spell Card: "Monster Reborn"

Phoenix: (Attack Position/Co-linked with Mermaid/Can't attack/Can't activate effects)

Varis frowned seeing the monster. "Very well."
"Now Mermaid's effect permits me to summon a Knightmare! Rise up, Orcust Knightmare!"

You can only use this effect of "Orcust Knightmare" once per turn.
Orcust Knightmare: (ATK: 100 - 1000 = 0/DEF: 2000 - 1000 = 1000)
They didn't notice the change of points yet. Ai shuddered seeing the monster. "Wow, she's even creepier than I thought."
"Is there anything else you're going to do?" Varis inquired.
"I see your familiar with the story." Black is somewhat impressed they heard of the story of the Star Hero. "It makes no difference eitherway. As Mermaid was co-linked when it summons a monster, I draw a card." He drew over checking which gives some clarification why he summoned back Phoenix like that.
"We are." Varis nodded. "Are you finished?"
"For a last part, I activate World Legacy's Nightmare!" Raising up the card they appear in a desolate wasteland looking around.

The blue dragon roared from this as it happened.
"When this monster is summoned I can add Boot Sector Launch to my hand."
Suddenly Striker Dragon growled as Mermaid did an effect weakening it.
Striker Dragon: (ATK: 1000 - 1000 = 0)
"Huh, what just happened, how did his monster lose points?" Ai questioned.
Black laugh over as they turned over to him. "Like it? As long as Mermaid is on the field, every monster loses 1000 attack, and defense points." He gestured over towards his two monsters which are co-linked. "However if there are any monsters that are co-linked the effect doesn't do anything to them." Knightmare was already effected, they just didn't noticed earlier.
"I see." Varis noted calmly. "I activate Boot Sector Launch."

"Due to the effect of Boot Sector Launch, they gain 300 attack, and defense points."
Both dragons glowed.

Silverrokket: (ATK: 1900 + 300 = 2200/DEF: 100 + 300 = 400)
"However due to the effect of Mermaid, they lose 1000 of those points!" Black reminded over. "Knightmare Hypnosis!" Mermaid generated a spell over the two.

Lowering down was Riot dragon roaring loudly as it centered itself against the two Link Monsters.
"Well not bad. However it is still under Mermaid's spell!" Mermaid generated power which weakened Riot Dragon.
Riot Dragon: (ATK: 3000 - 1000 = 2000/DEF: 2500 - 1000 = 1500)
"Doesn't make much difference! He can turn the effect around by destroying Phoenix, or get rid of it by going after Mermaid!" Ai cheered over. "Ai know he will smack him down!"
"That a pun?" Black asked automatically while confused which is probably not to be taken seriously.
"Just ignore him." Varis stated calmly as he looked at the field. "Riot Dragon attack Knightmare Corrupter Iblee."
"Huh why is he going for her?" Ai blinked as Riot Dragon charged an attack.
"We don't know what she can do so he is getting rid of her in case she has a hidden effect." Playmaker explained to Ai.
As Riot Dragon prepared its attack Varis took his last card. "Before your monster is destroyed I play Quick Launch and use it to summon a second Metalrokket Dragon in defense position."

Special Summon 1 "Rokket" monster from your Deck, but it cannot attack, also destroy it during the End Phase.
Metalrokket Dragon: (Defense Position/ATK: 1700 + 300 - 1000 = 1000/DEF: 1400 + 300 - 1000 = 700)
Riot Dragon fired the attack down destroying Knightmare while Black didn't took damage as she was in Defense. Black only stared over before turning back to Varis, "Very well, Varis. Knightmare cannot be destroyed by a monster that is Link Monster, so your dragon is useful for SOMETHING I suppose."
"You're super smart daddy."
"Huh-huh?" That surprised Black, Playmaker, Ai, and Varis looking around before noticing something exiting Varis' Duel Disk as he raised his arm to take a better look.
To their shock Midna emerged with a happy expression. "You're amazing daddy, you must be the smartest and strongest person in the entire world."
"M-Midna?" Varis grunted over surprised, and a bit embarrassed to be called daddy here of all places.
"Huh? An Ignis? I don't recognize her!" Black was stunned seeing an Ignis he never see in front of him, and even called someone like VARIS, daddy.
Ai however grinned figuring a perfect time to tease them. "Oh-ho, sounds like Varis is now a daddy!"
Playmaker couldn't help but smirk. "Well, she is telling the truth Ai, and she should be proud of her father."
Varis however frowned as he glared at Playmaker who returned to a neutral expression albeit with a smile instead of a frown. "What are you doing here Midna?"
"I am seeing how strong you are, so I came to give you support!" Midna cheered over while not understanding the teasing Ai is doing.
Varis sighed as he glared at Ai who's eyes widened as he turned away to awkwardly whistle. "I appreciate that, but this is far too dangerous you should have stayed with your mother."
"What... what is going on here?" They all turned to Black who looked stunned from seeing Midna. "An Ignis that isn't among the six of them!? Where did she come from!?"
"You should concern yourself with the duel, not with Midna." Varis stated turning to her. "Take cover, I have a feeling things are going to get much more dangerous in a moment."
Midna nodded entering the Duel Dusk leaving a violet, and yellow eye as Varis turned back over. Black growled over from this. "Fine, in that case, I will take that Ignis as soon as I'm done with you!"
"You will have to try to pry her from my dead hands!" Varis argued over. "Appear the future circuit that lights up my path!" The circuit appeared Striker Dragon, and Metalrokket entered the arrows.
"Link Summon! Link 2, "Link 2, Dillingerous Dragon!"
Dillingerous popped up in front of Riot Dragon roaring.

Rokket Recharger: (ATK: 0 + 300 - 1000 = 0/DEF: 2100 + 300 - 1000 = 1400)
"I end my turn." Varis grunted.
"Good idea, those two can keep his life points safe just in case something bad happens." Ai noted before he then looks a little worried as he watches. "Playmaker... Not that I doubt Varis, but can he succeed?"
"It won't be easy Ai, but he can definitely succeed." Playmaker nodded.

Black 2nd Turn:
"All done, huh? Okay then!" Black drew over, and scowled seeing it's Reload before he set it. "Okay then, I'll start off with the spell Pot of Greed!" He set the card before it flipped showing Pot of Greed.
Pot of Greed
Normal Spell Card
Draw 2 cards.
"I draw 2!" Black drew two cards.
Midna frowned seeing that from inside Varis's duel disk. 'Something funny's going on, that's not how mommy or daddy would play that.'
While watching Aqua is also feeling something wrong. Through the duel when Black sets a card she can detect Black is lying over what card he is using but when it's revealed, it is the exact card that Black said he is using which is confusing her.
"Aqua? What's wrong you look a bit distracted." Miyu notices her Ignis looks confused about something.
"It's... how can you lie about the truth?" Aqua asked. "He's definitely lying about what card he's playing but... we can see he's telling the truth."
"Maybe he's just really good at lying?" Yugo suggested.
"No nothing escapes from Aqua's power." Flame denied it over knowing how strong Aqua's power is. "It is why Cyberse World has no conspiracies, or betrayals, she can easily detect it. I agree something is wrong, why would he set a card before using it?"
"It doesn't make any sense." Celina frowned. "Why not... wait a second, he's not using physical cards!"
They turned to her hearing that.
"His cards are all digital in Link Vrains, and if he's part of the inner circle he should have access to the cards right?" she pointed out. "If he was the one who suggested Dr. Kogami create the Ignis... he might be skilled enough with a computer to alter the code of his own deck... or hack in different cards."
Sylvio's eyes widened turning to Cal. "Is that even possible?"
"Oh definitely." Cal answered over from this. "If Lightning, and his crew made Judgement Arrows, and use Skills outside of Speed Duels, I don't doubt they can switch cards during a Duel."
"So he is cheating, but how is Ryoken supposed to counter that?" Lulu asked frowning.
They turned back from this.
Black checked over his drawn cards, and smirked. "Alright then. I start by summoning the monster, I added earlier! Flame Bufferlo!" A buffulo with blue flames rose up growling.

"I've never seen that one before." Ai frowned.
"Well you won't forget it!" Black activated his set card after pressing some buttons. "It starts with Call of the Haunted!"
(face-up)
Call of the Haunted
Continuous Trap Card
Activate this card by targeting 1 monster in your GY; Special Summon that target in Attack Position. When this card leaves the field, destroy that monster. When that monster is destroyed, destroy this card.
"With this Phoenix appears back from the graveyard!" Phoenix popped up for a third time screeching.
Tri-Gate Wizard: (Co-linked with Knightmare Mermaid & Knightmare Phoenix)
Knightmare Phoenix: (Attack Position/Co-linked with Tri-Gate Wizard)
Midna frowned popping up. "What are you doing?"
"Midna?" Varis raised his arm seeing her coming back out.
"I'm really confused, he's not playing like you or mommy." Midna admitted. "You can play spell cards right away right? Why is he putting them facedown first? Is he just making a lot of mistakes?"
"How I play doesn't concern you." Black glared over.
"We know why!"
Turning over Elsa came in with Aqua before she warned over. "Varis, Black is cheating!"
"What?" Varis, and Playmaker blinked hearing that.
Aqua explained over to them. "He is one of the Inner Circle, and I was able to detect he was lying when he was activating some cards. His Deck is digital, and has been using codes to switch cards when he sets them to cards he wants to use."
"I see, his duel disk must allow him to change his cards but he needs to play them first which is why he's setting them facedown." Varis noted calmly before smiling. "Good catch Midna, I hadn't considered that possibility but now that I have I'll be able to handle this duel even if he attempts to cheat."
"Expose me, will you? Piece of insolent coding." Black glared over at Aqua. "The punishment for rebelling against who gave you life is death. But I'm aware King, and God needs you so when I take you, I will make sure you will think twice before you think of rebelling against me again."
Elsa frowned moving in front of Aqua. "You're not touching her."
"And besides you have me to deal with first." Varis glared at Black.
Black shrugged over from this while Ai yelled out to him. "Shame on you! You believe your so superior, so why would you stoop so low as not following the rules!?"
"And I should care why?" Black shrugged with closed eyes condescending. "In battles such as these all you need is skill, strength, and smarts in full effect." He glared over to them. "As such, using codes for something like this is needed, and necessary. There is no such thing as 'fair game'."
"You remind me of my brother who also doesn't understand the real world. I'd expected more from you Kogami." Black gave a disappointed stare over. "No matter, I will show you soon enough. Starting with Tri-Gate Wizard's effect! As there are two monsters co-linked with it, a card on the field is banished!" Tri-Gate Wizard readied his staff generating magic over.
"Not good!" Ai panicked.
"And I'll pick that Dillingerous Dragon of yours!" Black called over.
Varis snapped over. "Laughable! I activate Tracer's effect!" Tracer glowed over as Varis explained over the effect. "By destroying a card on my field, I can summon a rokket! I destroy Dillingerous!" His Link shattered over. "In it's place is Shelrokket Dragon!" The yellow armored rokket popped up.
(Defense Position)
Shelrokket Dragon
DARK
Level 2
Dragon/Effect
ATK: 1100
DEF: 2000
When a Link Monster's effect is activated that targets this face-up card on the field (Quick Effect): You can destroy this card, then destroy 1 monster in the column this card was in, and if you do, destroy any monsters in that card's adjacent zones. 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.
Shelrokket Dragon: (ATK: 1100 + 300 - 1000 = 400/DEF: 2000 + 300 - 1000 = 1300)
Black frowned as Tri-Gate's effect resolves without effect. But Varis done yet, "And as that happened, the effect of Rokket Recharger activates!" Recharger glowed lowering down. "By sending this card to the graveyard as a DARK Dragon that was summoned from the Extra Deck was destroyed, I can summon a different monster from the graveyard that's DARK! Revive to the field, Striker Dragon!"
Striker Dragon rose up readying.
Striker Dragon: (Attack Position/ATK: 1000 - 1000 = 0)
Midna's eyes widened in awe, a look Playmaker recognized from his childhood when he watched Yuri duel Yuya, admiration and excitement at a parent doing something cool.
"Fine you want to do this with me? Fine! I activate Orcust Nightmare's effect from the graveyard! By banishing it, I can send World Legacy - "World Lance" to the graveyard to give Knightmare Phoenix attack points equal to the level of World Lance by 100!" Phoenix glowed over as it received the power.
Phoenix: (ATK: 1900 + (100 * 8) = 2700)
"And now battle! Phoenix attack Riot Dragon!" Phoenix cawed loud charging in at Riot Dragon.
Varis frowned as his monster shattered.
"And don't think your safe. Due to Tri-Gate Wizard's other effect as it's co-linked to one monster, whoever it's co-linked too can deal twice the damage you take from battle!"
Tri-Gate Wizard charged a spell as the force of the attack got stronger which made Varis step back. (Varis: 2600/Hand: 0)
"And now Tri-Gate Wizard get rid of Shelrokket!" Knowing the kind of threat Shelrokket is, Black knew he had to get rid of it as it's in the same column as Phoenix which can destroy both it, and Tri-Gate Wizard which the wizard tackled the monster destroying it. "I've done enough for now. No need for Mermaid to destroy such annoyances." Setting a card Black is finished for now. "I end my turn."
"Then the effect of Shelrokket activates. As it's destroyed, I can summon another Rokket from my Deck. Such as Exploderrokket!" Varis summons Exploderrokket growling.

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 "Exploderokket Dragon". You can only use each effect of "Exploderokket Dragon" once per turn.
Exploderrokket: (ATK: 2000 + 300 - 1000 = 1300/DEF: 2000 + 300 - 1000 = 1300)
"And this in turn revives back a friend! Dillingerous Dragon!" Dillingerous rose up roaring.
Dillingerous Dragon: (Attack Position/ATK: 1600 - 1000 = 600/Banished when leaves the field)
"And not attacking with Mermaid was your last mistake!" Varis smirked over at Black who blinked. "During your end phase, as you have a monster that didn't attack, it's destroyed, and you take damage equal to it's attack points!"
"And with Mermaid gone every monster gets their points back." Aqua realized.
Dillingerous Dragon fired bullets as Mermaid screeched destroyed while Black takes the backlash. (Black: 2000/Hand: 1)

Varis 3rd Turn:
"And there is something else!" Varis drew but didn't look. "His life points are low enough! For this! Striker Dragon's effect!" His Link 1 glowed over. "I target a rokket on my field, destroy it, and add another rokket to my hand such as Exploderrokket!" Exploderrokket glowed over before Varis called out. "And this in turn activates Exploderrokket's effect! When targeted by a Link Monster's special ability, I can destroy it, and deal 2000 points of damage to both of us!"
"2000... that's enough to end the duel." Ai realized.
"True, it is." Playmaker nodded though he looked unconvinced.
"What!?"
Exploderokket roared as it got ready to detonate over. Black growled thinking over with his set card. "Ah screw it, I'm not losing to HIM of all people!" He pressed some codes before quickly activating his set card. "I activate Secret Blast!"
Secret Blast
Normal Trap Card
Inflict 300 damage to your opponent for each card they control. If this card you control is destroyed by an opponent's card and sent to your Graveyard: Inflict 1000 damage to your opponent.
"This trap deals you 300 points of damage for every card on your field! 5 cards!" Bombs appeared exploding on Varis. (Varis: 1100/Hand: 1)
"Wait, but if Exploderrokket Dragon's ability goes off now-!" Ai panicked.
Exploderrokket couldn't cancel it's ability now detonating in a large blast as both duelists yell out pushed back from the explosion landing on the field.

DRAW!
"DADDY!" Midna cried emerging from his Duel Disk. "Are you ok, should I get mommy?"
Varis grunted as he sat up as Playmaker, and Elsa ran over to check him over. Varis shook his head. "I'm fine." He looked over where Black is slowly getting up.
"I almost lost against him... I was suppose to be the superior one as the one who gave the idea of the Ignis." Black growled to himself. "How could he have gotten the drop on me like that?"
"Varis is a better duelist than you, it's that simple." Ai pointed out. "Next time, you'll definitely lose."
Black glared over at them before he stood. "Alright fine you may have escaped punishment this round, but I'll make you pay next time! Count on that!" He turned around walking off logging out.
Seeing that Midna looked uncertain. "Daddy... he's the one who made Mr. Lightning right?"
Varis stared over before looking at Midna. "Somewhat... similar to you, he's the one who came with the idea but it takes people such as your Grandfather, and people like Playmaker to give them life."
She nodded before looking at her hands. "I... I want to meet him, and at least talk with him... is that ok?"
She feels a rubbing as she sees Ai was rubbing her head. "Ah don't worry your cute head. Sometime you will just... make sure your stronger before then."
Midna looked at him but nodded.
Back at SOL Technologies...
The Inner Circle watches over the match, and in the end Black barely managed a draw. White frowned over from this sighing over. "That brother of mine... he is always too arrogant for his own good, and uses cheat codes too much."
King frowned. "Bishop, send for him."
Bishop nodded sending a message with his Duel Disk. After it they waited for a few minutes before Black arrived back sighing angrily to himself as he closed the door.
"Sit down." King told him calmly though he looked disappointed. "I assume you can explain what just happened?"
Black looked down sitting back down. "Almost lost against Kogami's son sir. I had the victory in my grasp, and he just snatched it away somehow."
"You were cheating." King stated coldly. "You were cheating in a duel against them and were still unable to win, I assume you know how that reflects on our company?"
"What?" Surprised that King is talking to him about his cheating functions Black looked up to him stunned. "But sir, I-"
"No buts." King stated standing and glaring at him coldly. "Your actions in that duel demonstrated that SOL Technologies is inferior to its enemies... I should have you removed from your position and banished from Den City."
His gaze was cold and had an intense anger in it before he sighed.
"Instead, I'll give you one chance... learn your deck inside and out... every combo, every card... and the next time you encounter Varis, Playmaker, or any of their allies you will crush them without mercy... am I clear?"
Fearful for his life Black bowed over to him. "I-I understand sir. Please forgive me."
"My sir, it's been a while since I last seen you this infuriated." Bishop admitted over to King adjusting his glasses. "You do needed to rule with an iron fist after all."
"Quiet Bishop." King frowned before turning. "We have enemies on all sides, it's time we begin phase two."
Bishop nodded over hearing that. "I'll inform Sota that we are moving for phase 2." He turned walking while messaging on his Duel Disk.
White turned over with a frown at Black who was sweating nervously looking down. "I kept on telling you, that fair game is needed in our line of work, and you never once listened. And now look at what you've done, you got King all on your back now for harming our reputation." While Black didn't lift his head he turned slightly to glare over at his brother but didn't say anything. "Unlike you, I don't resort to such tactics, I just do as I'm told as long as it helps me, and Layla live better. You should practice over against your Pawn Drones so your Deck will be better. See you around Zeke, I need to talk to Layla about us advancing in the plan." He stood up turning to King, and bowed. "If you'll excuse me."
King just nodded as he closed his eyes in thought. White turned walking out from this closing the door behind him while Queen frowned before glaring at Black coldly, and the Knight Brothers turned to each other silently.
Ulrich362: Black Rook was behind the Lost Incident... well that's interesting to say the least, oh and Bohman might be willing to join the Lancers? Or at least... he seems willing to talk with them?
bopdog111: Or he just have respect for them.
Ulrich362: That could be... though it sounds like the inner circle is up to something... and it doesn't sound good.
bopdog111: What does King meant by 'second phase'?
Ulrich362: Something tells me we'll find out soon, see you in the next chapter. Oh, and next up will be a duel I don't think anyone will be expecting.
bopdog111: What Duel is that?
Ulrich362: That'll be for next time.
bopdog111: Okay. Be sure to review everyone! And Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!
