bopdog111: Well King let Sota know of SOL's biggest secret.
Ulrich362: True, the ultimate final goal of SOL Technologies... well really just King but still... and Sota can't do anything to stop it.
bopdog111: It be a while until it comes out but they have to deal with Lightning before then.
Ulrich362: True, the leader of the Ignis... he's likely a very powerful duelist... can anyone stand up against him?
bopdog111: Well I guess we're gonna see soon enough.

Everyone at Cafe Nom was now waiting for Kenneth to return so they can talk with him but he is busy talking with Emma while at his father's grave. He places a bouquet in front of the gravestone before turning noticing Emma. "Emma."
"Kenneth... so... I suppose it's true? He is..." Emma trailed off.
"So you knew?" he asked standing up.
"Yes, I had a feeling for a while but I didn't know how to bring it up." Emma admitted.
"Hmm..." Kenneth stared over to her. "Well in case, your gonna ask, yes I had known you are his daughter. My half-sister."
"For what it's worth, I'm sorry about... everything." Emma apologized softly.
"...It wasn't your fault." Kenneth said as he places a hand on his shoulder. "If I know him well enough, he probably asked you to make sure I'm alright."
"I came because I wanted to, nobody told me to." she mentioned.
Kenneth nodded over before walking passed her, and stopped turning back. "Come along. We're going back."
"Right... but, when this is all over I'd like us to start spending more time together." she whispered to him.
"Agreed... all of us. Me, you, Misaki, and the kid." Kenneth agreed.
Emma smiled at that going back with him only to chuckle. "So... aunt Emma gets to spoil the baby right?"
Kenneth sighed from that as they walked together arriving back at Cafe Nom. When they arrived they saw Yuri and Celina talking with Yusaku, Skye, and Akira.
"When did you three get here?" Kenneth asked them.
"A few minutes ago, we were just talking about my last duel... I feel like I just got lucky." Yusaku admitted.
"Bayonet-Musket is always a careless one... that's what he gets for being so confident." Misaki shrugged with a sigh.
"Still, that's why I was talking with dad about some new strategies." Yusaku admitted.
"What number duelist was that guy again?" Emma asked.
"He was ranked seventh." Predator Gardener answered.
"So you have sixth, fifth, and forth before your sister." Cal said over with a grin. "Those three won't know what there gonna get themselves into."
"They're getting tougher though." Yusaku admitted. "Plus I..."
"You'll do great uncle Yusaku."
Hearing that they looked over. Midna was smiling as she was in Lilly's Duel Disk again. "You're almost as strong as mommy and daddy."
Yusaku smiled over from this as he stared at his Ignis niece. "Well thanks for the support Midna."
She smiled happily hearing that.
"Have you heard anything from Sota?" Theodore asked Akira.
"No. Just said that King wanted him for something important." Akira answered over to them.
"Well SOL's been quiet… they must be up to something." Risa frowned.
Suddenly a beeping is heard as Sylvio checked over, and frowned over. "Looks like we're about to find out. Some Pawn Drones had just materialized over. There being lead by Black."
Hearing that they all went to look.
"I can go in." Zuzu mentioned.
"Wait wait hang on." Sylvio voiced over before Zuzu can head in. "It's not just Black... it's someone else. Someone who's face is like him but... white."
Akira widen his eyes. "That must be White Rook."
"White Rook, what's he like?" Yuto inquired.
"Opposite of Black. More honorable, and more of a light-hearted person." Akira answered over to them.
"Well it's not just them..." Slyvio spoke up looking shocked.
"What do you mean?" Shay questioned.
Sylvio looked up. "Lightning just showed up in front of them." They widen there eyes heading seeing Black, and White in a avatar was there with Lightning by himself while two Pawn Drones are surrounding him by the antagonistic Ignis doesn't look threatened as he looked around.
"We have to help Lightning." Ai pointed out only to flinch at the Knights of Hanoi except for Lilly to glare at him. "Look, I'm not siding with him but after what happened to Windy... we can't let SOL get another Ignis right?"
"What are we waiting for an invitation?" Aqua asked Ai as she, Earth, and Flame quickly head in.
"Huh, hey!" Ai cried out following them into Link VRAINS.
Midna didn't think twice, and followed too which Lilly caught. "Midna!"
"Don't lose the camera feed!" Ryoken ordered Sylvio despite being younger over.
"I know." Sylvio snapped.
In Link VRAINS earlier...
Lightning was at his throne watching over from an orb before some of SOL Tech soldiers such as the Pawn Drones, and Black appeared alongside White.
"Don't slow me down idiot." Black growled over to White.
"Look I'm just here to make sure you don't do anything else that can upset King." White pointed out to his brother wearing white armor with a flap of a White Rook Chess Piece on it. "You already had him plenty pissed off from your match with the Hanoi."
"Would you shut up about that!? I would've had Varis if he didn't done that last move! My superiority is next to no-one other then King, and no matter what I will take the Ignis!" Black declared over. "And I don't need the help of my idiotic brother to do that!"
"Okay now that hurts." White frowned over from this.
"Don't be a baby." Black growled over.
Lightning watches on as Harlin, and Bohman appeared having seeing this. The loss of Windy had put them in a sidetrack as without him, Bohman can't be complete, and they know he's with SOL, and his origin. So they need to get him back, and there chance to try is now on the orbs.
"Should we deal with them?" Harlin asked.
"Don't bother. I'll handle this myself." Lightning stated over to them. "Head in only for the case of an emergency."
Harlin's eyes widened before he nodded. "Right."
"And Bohman, make sure to pay attention. No damn misplay had proven Celina lost." Lightning stated over as he transported away to confront the Rook Brothers.
"He's being too reckless." Bohman frowned.
"Is he right though? Celina didn't misplay did she?" Harlin is also having doubts if Celina did misplay. Lightning had two set cards at the final turn so even if Celina did used Lunalight Fusion, he could use one of them to do something.
"She did." Bohman nodded. "You saw the duel didn't you?"
"Yeah... but he had two set cards so he probably do something even if she uses it." Harlin said to him.
"Not with her Kaleido Chick's ability. Lightning can't play any cards during the battle phase and even if he could her Leo Dancer can't be targeted or destroyed by effects and Lunalight Sabre Dancer can't be targeted by effects either." Bohman answered.
"So why didn't she?" Harlin does look troubled over from this wondering what the deal was why she didn't use, or what cards Lightning had.
"I have no idea, but Lightning needs to understand that he was lucky in that duel." Bohman frowned. "He may not get that lucky again."
They looked back towards the orb.
At the location...
Black, and White were flying with the Pawn Drones over looking around before suddenly some light beams fired striking some of the Pawn Drones forcing them to land on the ground with only two with them. Landing nearby they checked seeing Lightning had appeared with crossed arms with the hypnotized Jin with him.
"The LIGHT Ignis." Black frowned. "Have you come to surrender?"
"Far from it." Lightning said as Jin landed on the ground with him. "The loss of Windy has definitely placed a inconvenience in my plans. You, and your homecoming King stolen him. I am simply here to take him back."
White frowned from this over. "He is unharmed. We don't plan to destroy him."
"His health is the least of my concern." Lightning pointed out over. "I want him back, whole, or one segment of data left, I don't care."
"You think a program such has yourself as the right to order us?" Black asked him with a glare. "And unless you forget, I was the one who given you life. So do us all a favor, and stand down, that's an order."
"And if I disobey?" Lightning challenged over.
Black snapped his fingers as the remaining Pawn Drones flew to surround him which he looked around. "We will take you by force where before we give you to Prince, you will be punished for disobeying your superior."
"...Hmm interesting... then... the answer is no." Lightning spoke of boldly. "You maybe the one who came up with the idea of me, but I don't listen to trash such as yourself." Black glared over angry. "And I also seen your match with Varis, why would I listen to someone who cheats, and embarrasses the company he represents? King must've chewed you out cause of it."
"Why you ignorant...!" Black growled.
"Hey Lightning!"
Hearing that they turned seeing the Ignis had arrived with different avatars over with a small camera drone courtesy of Ghost Gal.
Lightning stared over at them. "Ah, first we have some cavalry from SOL, and then next my fellow Ignis had just came. Interesting..."
"The rest of the Ignis." Black said seeing them before noticing Midna, and glared. "Including the new one."
"So it is true. A new Ignis has arrived." White frowned seeing her.
"What?" Lightning questioned as his eyes widened. "What in the world?"
"Nevermind her now. You doing alright Lightning?" Ai asked him over.
"Oh, I'm doing just fine. Just having a chat to take Windy back from SOL Technologies." Lightning stated over as he looked at the two Pawn Drones. "Though it looks like, I'll have to take him by force." He then turned to his Ignis. "So then, how would you all deal with this situation?"
"Lightning, we can coexist... trust us." Aqua mentioned quietly.
"So... you all picked 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend'?" Lightning asked figuring that there gonna take his side at least for now.
"That's right, so you think we'll make a good team?" Ai grinned.
"Hmph. Just make sure you know what your doing." Lightning said.
"Well this will be even easier." Black smirked. "Take them!" The Pawn Drones flew landing in front of them to duel while Ai, and his Ancient Ghost stood next to Lightning.
"Minda stay close to us." Flame told Minda with his avatar's hand on Midna's avatar's shoulder. "This is gonna be intense."
"Ok... but Mr. Ai is really strong." she mentioned watching.
"Ready?" Lightning asked as Ai nodded.

"Constant burn damage." Aqua answered over. "It was the top Deck that won against the others in that contest that SOLs hosted with the other entries being used by Roget when he hijacked Link VRAINS. The Hell, Runick, and Chameleon Decks were runner-ups."

"My turn isn't done." the Rook Brothers looked confused as Lightning then called. "Now I Tribute Decurion, and Speculata!" The two flew up entering a Fusion Vortex.

"Effect Tentacluster Nautilus, destroy all linked monsters." the Pawn Drone-B stated.
Nautilus charged over targeting the three linked monsters destroying them all which sets off a chain of effects.
"How much damage is that?" Midna asked.
"We don't know." Flame admitted as three portals opened. "Though I'm anxious over what destroying those three had done."
"Tentacluster Amphibian effect, inflict 800 damage. Tentacluster Eelaster effect, when destroyed summon from grave and deal 1000 damage." the Pawn Drone-B stated. "Tentacluster Clamster effect summon itself from graveyard."
Tentacluster Clamster: (Attack Position)
Tentacluster Eelaster: (Attack Position)
The three rose as Amphibian shot it's tongue, and Eelaster fired an electric arc hitting the two. (Ai & Lightning: 3000/Hands: (Lightning: 1/Ai: 5))
"There already at over half there Life Points." Aqua said worried.
"As I said you're inferior." Black Rook smirked.
"You haven't beaten us yet, so save your talking." Ai glared over.
"Invalid statement, activate Monster Reborn." Pawn Drone-B stated as Amphibian rose up again.
Monster Reborn
Normal Spell Card
Target 1 monster in either GY; Special Summon it.
"Appear Cicruit of SOL Technologies. Place, Tentacluster Nautilus, Tentacluster Eelaster, and Tentacluster Amphibian in Link Arrows. Link Summon Tentacluster Nautilus."
The three shot up entering the arrows which lowered down to Nautilus again.
Tentacluster Nautilus: (Attack Position/Extra Monster Zone)
"Why did they summon a second one?" Midna asked confused.
"Activate spell, Flexible Tentacluster. Summon banished Tentacluster Blastsucker."
(face-up)
Flexible Tentacluster
Continuous Spell Card
Each turn, the first time you would take battle damage from an attack involving your "Tentacluster" monster, you do not. You can target 1 of your banished "Tentacluster" monsters; Special Summon it in Attack Position. When this card leaves the field, destroy that monster.
"Activate Machine Duplication target Tentacluster Blastsucker summon two additional Blastsuckers from deck."
The two new Blastsuckers appeared in the zones Nautilus pointed to.
"Tentacluster Nautilus effect destroy all monsters linked to this card, Tentacluster Blastsucker effect when targeted by Link Monster destroy this card and deal 400 damage, trigger Abyss Invitation deal 200 damage."
The three detonated with the two linked Blastsuckers each hitting Lightning, and Ai. (Ai & Lightning: 2200/Hands: (Lightning: 1/Ai: 5)) Then Abyss Invitations effect hits the two again. (Ai & Lightning: 1800/Hands: (Lightning: 1/Ai: 5))
"Tentacluster Blastsucker effect, banish from graveyard inflict 400 damage, Abyss Invitation activate deal 200 damage." Pawn Drone-B stated.
The two were banished as they were struck further. (Ai & Lightning: 0600/Hands: (Lightning: 1/Ai: 5))
"Ai, you have something against these AI right?" Lightning asked him.
"Yeah, I do. Just need us to last." Ai confirmed.
"Appear Circuit of Sol Technologies, place Tentacluster Blastsucker in Link Arrow, Link Summon Tentacluster Clamster." Pawn Drone-B continued as a second Clamster appeared on the field co-linked to Nautilus.
Tentacluster Clamster: (Attack Position)
"Effect Tentacluster Clamster inflict 800 damage."
Clamster charged up as Lightning sighed over from this. "Very well. Forced me indeed. Face-down activate!" He activated one of his face-downs.
Armatos Insidiis
Counter Trap Card
If your opponent activates a card or effect while you control a "Armatos Legio" Link Monster on the field: Negate the activation, and if you do banish that card, then if you control 1 "Judgement Arrows" in the Spell & Trap Zone; you can banish all copies of that card from your opponent's Hand, Deck, and GY. If you control 1 "Armatos Legio" Link Monster that is co-linked with a Link Monster: You can activate this card from your hand. If 1 "Judgement Arrows" would be destroyed by an opponent's card effect: You can banish this card from your GY instead.
"Armatos Insidiis negates your petty effect, and banishes all copies of the card you activate from anywhere." Lightning explained over.
Both copies of Clamster vanished.
"Secondary strategy, activate Double Cyclone. Destroy Flexible Tentacluster and Set card." Pawn Drone-B stated.
Double Cyclone
Quick-Play Spell Card
Target 1 Spell/Trap you control and 1 Spell/Trap your opponent controls; destroy them.
The two cyclones charged in from this attacking both cards destroying each other while also taking Blastsucker with them.
"Hey what happened to the last Blastsucker?" Minda asked surprised.
"Effect Flexible Tentacluster, when removed from the field monster summoned is destroyed." Pawn Drone-B answered. "Effect Tentacluster Blastsucker, banish from GY to deal 400 damage, Abyss Invitation inflict 200 damage."
"And that ends the duel." Black Rook smirked.
The effect charged as Lightning takes the last card in his hand. "Not so much. I activate Armatos Legio Cohort in my hand! When a Monster effect activates, I can negate it by discarding this card!" He sent it as the blast did nothing.
"End turn." Pawn Drone-B finished.
Pawn Drone-B's Hand: 2/Field with Pawn Drone-A: Tentacluster Nautilus (Attack Position/Extra Monster Zone)
Ai 1st Turn:
"Okay Ai... I hope you have something." Lightning said to him.
"Don't worry, I do have something." Ai readied himself drawing. "I draw!"
"Are they able to attack now?" Midna asked hopefully.
"No, not yet." Flame answered. "Nobody can attack until everyone's had a turn."
"Ah man, come on that isn't fair there already at there last points before they finished the first turns!" Midna complained.
"Don't worry Midna, it'll take more then this to stop me!" Ai grinned over. "Lightning-"
"Whatever you need, use it." Lightning told him.
Ai nodded before calling. "And now I'll create the circuit that guides the dark!" The circuit appeared as Decurion, and Centurion entered the arrows. "With high spirits, the soul resurrects from the river of fire! Become red hot and burn! Link Summon! Appear, Link 3 Fire Phoenix Ignister!"
Fire Phoenix shot out cawing loud as it flew beside Lightning's Fusion monster.

"Go Linky!" Ai cheered as his personal Cyberse bounced excitedly.
"Yay Linky!" Midna cheered.
"Hm, I definitely remember the mischief you over gotten into with that monster Ai." Lightning cupped his chin feeling nostalgic of Ai often fooling around in Cyberse World with Linkuriboh, and was often scolded on by Aqua. "Never thought I be glad to see it but hey Judgement Arrows is one thing so this shouldn't be too surprising."
"You really think that weak thing can do anything?"
White frowned over. "Black, that thing is obviously a Kuriboh, you shouldn't underestimate it."
"Did I ask for your input moron?" Black growled to White who frowned deeper.
White Rook flinched.
Seeing that Aqua blinked. "Did you hear that?"
"Yeah sounds like those two don't get along." Flame admitted over with a nod. "There brothers yet the fat one antagonizes the other."
"If the Inner Circle isn't getting along... should we try and talk with him alone somehow?" she asked him.
"It be risky." Earth admitted over to Aqua. "We should try to have a word when the duel is done."
"Okay back to business!" Ai called as Linkuriboh vanished. "Hiyari's ability Tributes Linky for me to add A.I.'s Ritual, and Water Leviathan Ignister to my hand!" He added the two cards. "And for the rest of the turn Hiyari's level becomes 4!"
Hiyari: (LV: 1 + 3 = 4)
"So I've seen you've also expanded Ai." Lightning said looking interested. "Playmaker does use Ritual himself so it shouldn't be surprising."
"Well Lightning wait till you see this!" Ai activated A.I.'s Ritual.
A.I.'s Ritual

This card can be used to Ritual Summon any Cyberse Ritual Monster. You must also Tribute " Ignister" monsters from your hand or field whose total Levels equal or exceed the Level of the Ritual Monster you Ritual Summon.

"When I use an Ignister to Ritual Summon, I can banish the needed monsters!" Ai called as he raised an arm.
"This is pointless, this duel will be over soon enough." Black Rook smirked though White Rook looked unsure.
"Well I Tribute Hiyari alongside Doshin from my graveyard, and Achichi in my hand!" The three vanished as a portal appeared.
"Appear! The water god dragon that hides in the ocean! Ritual Summon! Water Leviathan Ignister!"
Raising was Water Leviathan roaring floating beside Fire Phoenix, and Lightning's Fusion Monster.

"You won't be cocky once you know this! When Water Leviathan is Ritual Summoned every monster on your drone's field who's original attack points are 2300 or lower return to the hand!"
"What!?" Black Rook questioned.
"I tried to warn you, they're dangerous and we shouldn't underestimate the Ignis." White Rook pointed out only for Black Rook to glare at him.
"Shut up."
Water Leviathan fired a wave which made Nautilus vanished.
"I can't attack yet though." Ai frowned as he sets a card. "So only thing I can do is end my turn."
Ai's Hand: 1/Field with Lightning: Armatos Colosseum (Field Zone), Armatos Legio Tribunus Laticlavius (Attack Position/Linked to Fire Phoenix Ignister & Judgement Arrows), Fire Phoenix Ignister (Attack Position/Linked to Armatos Legio Tribunus Laticlavius & Judgement Arrows), Water Leviathan Ignister (Attack Position), Judgement Arrows (face-up/Linked to Armatos Legio Tribunus Laticlavius & Fire Phoenix Ignister), One Set Card

The Pawn Drone drew a card. "End turn."
Pawn Drone-A's Hand: 2/Field with Pawn Drone-B: Abyss Invitation (face-up)
Lightning 2nd Turn:
Lightning drew before speaking up to the Rooks. "Might I offer some criticism regarding these Drones?"
"I don't need advice from an inferior creation." Black Rook stated coldly.
"Oh I assure you, those things are less then me. They have no personality just mindless soldiers. I at least have the audacity to make my own foot soldiers have more emotion." Lightning spoke over. "And if they can't do anything with the loss of Nautilus or we stopped what they do with a single card then they should get reworked, and get some more strategies on hand."
"He has a point, the Pawn Drones are using the Tentacluster Deck but we should consider..." White Rook started only to stop when Black Rook glared at him again.
Otherside from his cheating skills, Black was very proud of the development of the Pawn Drones. Even if Kitamura was the one who fined tuned them to what they are now with the Tentaclusters they are still his creations, and no one tells him there flawed! There perfect goddammit!
"Now shall we finish this Ai?"
"You bet Lightning!"
With that Fire Phoenix charges in screeching.
"And now I activate Fire Phoenix's ability! When it attacks our battle damage becomes 0!" Ai called over to them.
"Illogical move, why reduce damage to zero?" Pawn Drone-B questioned.
"Why? Well in exchange, you take damage equal to Fire Phoenix's attack points!" Ai grinned.
"An effect to change battle damage to effect damage?" White asked surprised from this to what no matter what Fire Phoenix attacks it's gonna deal heavy damage.
"And let's not forget about Judgement Arrows." Lightning reminded of his Link Spell. "Due to it's effect Fire Phoenix's attack points becomes doubled."
Fire Phoenix: (ATK: 2300 x 2 = 4600)
"And there's more!" Ai added with a big grin. "By banishing Donyoribo from the graveyard, the damage inflicted is doubled!"
"Wait, that's 9200 points of damage." Flame realized.
Fire Phoenix turned to flames charging in tackling the two Pawn Drones destroying them instantly.
"And we're done here." Ai finished off with a one-liner.
Ai & Lightning: 0600

Ai & Lightning wins!
"Not bad, so... maybe we don't have to fight?" Ai asked Lightning hopefully.
Lightning turned before focusing his attention to the Rook brothers. "Now hand Windy back."
"Tch... this isn't the end of it, you hear me!? The WIND Ignis belongs to SOL Technologies such as you all! You will never see it again!" Black promised over with a glare. "I'll show you what happens when you disobey your master!" He tries to begin a duel but White places a hand on his shoulder.
"Stop it Black." White shook his head.
"Get your hand off me!" Black Rook snapped.
"That's enough." White looked more focused. "We have no further reason to be here right now. The Ignis eliminated all of the elite Pawn Drones you deployed with us, we are outnumbered, and King ordered you to play fair. Do not compromise anything or make the situation worse then it is."
Black Rook looked furious as he reluctantly logged out. White sighed over suddenly looking solemn. "Honestly, I still don't know why he's like this..."
Lightning turned over to his Ignis. "You all have words to share with me, and him... I'll wait for my turn, go ahead, and see what you want to chat with him about." He gives his word he'll stay while they talk to White.
White hearing her turned over to Aqua. "Hm? Oh, you mean that... *sigh* Well as I'm sure you noticed me, and Black don't seem eye to eye on how we handle things. He always cuts corners, and garners success cause of it. Meanwhile I'm just the lousy brother who's only here to be see as a paragon of failure in his eyes to remind himself he's the success. I can handle much... but it really gets to me hard." He places a hand on his head. "If I could I would leave but I don't have any choice for it."
"What about the Leo Corporation in Paradise City?" Ai asked as the rest of the Ignis had floated over to him.
"It's not that simple. They wouldn't trust someone from a company who lies, steals, and extorts from others." White answered shame in his tone. "And besides SOL Technologies is the only place for me to do... I leave, I don't know what can happen... I needed to care for my daughter, and I refuse to let anything happen to her cause of my mistakes."
"What do you mean, can't you just take your daughter with you?" Ai asked.
"I wish it was that simple. King has ways to make things come back to bite you in the ass." White answered frowning before looking at the Ignis. "Thanks for listening but I need to go. I hope that this can end soon." With that he logged out.
"Well, you tried Ai." Flame sighed as they turned to Lightning.
"A brother using his own flesh and blood to prove to everyone he's better then anyone else... quite a disgusting thing to do." Lightning shrugged with his eyes. "Then again I shouldn't be the one to talk."
"Lightning… we don't have to fight." Ai told him. "SOL's Inner Circle is the problem not us or the rest of humanity."
"Not even the entire Inner Circle, mostly King, Bishop, Queen, and Black Rook." Flame agreed.
"Then care to explain about the time the Hanoi almost destroyed Windy, and the next SOL Technologies stolen him?" Lightning asked over. "How do you explain that?" He then turned over to Midna. "And who is this Ignis? I don't recognize her."
Ai flinched at that.
"Hello Mr. Lightning, I'm Midna." she said politely.
"Midna." Lightning floated around looking over seeing some resemblance between him, and Ai onto her yet he doesn't sense Jin's presence from her but feels something like Playmaker's but isn't the same... "Well, I have to say your certainly a surprise. A new Ignis showing up was totally unexpected on my part... so congrats not many people can surprise me or take me off guard young one."
"She's the key Lightning, to our coexistence." Ai told him.
"A new Ignis... created for chance of co-existence?" Lightning asked with a raised eyebrow interested. "Okay you have my attention... tell me how, when, and who created her."
"I was made by mommy and daddy." Midna answered happily.
"...what?" Lightning looked a bit lost hearing that. "Pregnancy for Ignis is possible? Wait Ai..." He turned over to him. "You, and Aqua didn't..." He is getting the wrong idea from Midna saying 'mommy' and 'daddy' instead of Lilly, and Ryoken so they can understand the confusion.
"Oh nononononono nothing like that!" Ai quickly denied over.
"Her Origin is Lilly Fujiki, and her code was slowly managed by Ryoken Kogami... they worked together." Flame explained.
"I see... surprising that one such as Varis created an Ignis." Lightning cupped his chin.
"Well Minda was a prototype. Kiyoshi began to develop her but stopped." Aqua explained over how Midna came to be. "She was still in the womb when Lilly found her. She managed to convinced Ryoken to finish her, and they worked intensely to do so. Lilly's Deck was able to use all six Attributes, and she was to be made as the representative of humanity, and Ignis co-existence so there is hope cause she exists."
Lightning stared over before then asking Aqua. "Are there any changes to the simulations with her existence?"
"I don't know, I haven't seen anything." she admitted.
"Well guess we won't know unless they are viewed." Lightning said before he turned around. "Besides I have some important reasons why I fight like this. Reasons you all wouldn't understand."
"Lightning... we don't have to fight." Ai whispered one more time.
"...I know. But I already took the point of no return. If this can reversed for a fresh start, I can... but there is no turning back." Lightning turned over to them. "All this today had proven something. I'll give you all I have for now on. Tomorrow it's do or die, you, your Lancers, Knights of Hanoi better gear up, we're gonna launch a large attack to finish this."
Hearing that the rest of the Ignis frowned as they logged out.
Ulrich362: Poor Lightning...
bopdog111: For a moment there he seemed to be different. Not cold, or calculative just... human if that's the right word.
Ulrich362: Hopefully it isn't too late?
bopdog111: Well right now Lightning is gearing up for one last final attack. Everyone better get there asses in gear cause the end of the Ignis War is in sight.
Ulrich362: Well… not quite yet.
bopdog111: Well there are a few chapter to the last attack but the end is still near.
Ulrich362: True, see you in the next chapter.
bopdog111: Be sure to review!
