bopdog111: Well we're turning our attention away from the Thieves for a little bit.

Ulrich362: True, it's time to see what SOL Technologies can do, and a few members in particular at that.

bopdog111: This happens during the time the Thieves are in the Palace before the Tower gets damaged based on what Axis, and the Cognition of Dr. Genome had done.

Ulrich362: True, so let's see what was going on at that point, enjoy the chapter.

bopdog111: Oh actually before we forget we got a bit of news.

Ulrich362: What kind of news?

bopdog111: Our good friend Stardust had actually done an artwork of Axis in her human form.

Ulrich362: Oh yeah, and it's an amazing piece of art. Thank you for that Stardust.

bopdog111: Now let's see the battle with SOL, and the Hanoi shall we?

Ulrich362: We shall, enjoy the chapter.


Earlier in SOL Technologies...

"So Akira was fired?" Emperor had a frown on his face when he heard what had happened from Hayami about why the Inner Circle called for Zaizen which he wished he could've prevented it.

"Yes, I'm sorry sir." Hayami frowned. "I'll do my best to do as good a job as he would have though."

Emperor sighed. "No, the fault was mine. I could've done a better job to stop the Thieves from there business in the Data Banks. I failed, and Akira paid the price. I hope he will okay wherever he will be at now."

"So do I." Hayami nodded closing her eyes at that.

"Well now we need to concern ourselves with the Knights of Hanoi's attack." Emperor stated over to her. "Father told me that the two of us, and Kitamura will lead the Pawn Drones, and the Charisma Duelists against the Hanoi to keep the Tower from absorbing all of Link VRAINS, and purge it. We're still waiting for a response from Blue Angel before we lead on right now the Pawn Drones are occupying the Hanoi."

"I know... I just... I've never had a real match so I'm not sure if I can handle them... I'll try." Hayami admitted.

Emperor nodded before then one employee brought up. "Emperor sir?" They looked where the employee explained. "Blue Angel is online, and is now waiting orders."

"Very good." Emperor nodded before then directing another employee. "Alert Kitamura, the Charisma Duelists are on there way, and connect all Charisma Duelists to my message server where I will debrief them about what we're gonna do against the Hanoi."

"Sir." the employee nodded at that beginning to connect the Charisma Duelists.

Emperor sat down on his desk before looking over to Hayami. "Hayami, get ready to start layering points for the Charisma Duelists once the debriefing is finished."

"Understood sir." she nodded at that taking a tablet to begin layering points for Gore, and Blue Angel.

Emperor turned on his hologram screen typing in. "Charisma Duelists, call in."

At that some hologram videos appeared on the screen as they respond.

"Gore, standing by." Gore grinned from this.

"Blue Angel, standing by." Blue Angel let herself know.

"Cleopatra, standing by." A woman having black hair, and tanned skin with some Egyptian Mistress like attire responded.

"Queen Vexus, standing by." A green bee like woman added over.

"Transcendent Don, standing by." A Dinosaur avatar with Pterodactyal wings, T-Rex Head, white scales, and a dinosaur tail.

"Bayonet-Musket, standing by." A young man in a blue dressed cowboy attire with a fedora on that looked worn.

"Sky Striker Ace - Layla, standing by." Another woman that seems to where a black, and white dress like robe that's shoulderless, and showing some of her cleavage with long black boots, long white hair having sky blue eyes.

"White Tiger, standing by." A woman that has on a mercenary like uniform that's white, and tiger stripes on it covering her entire upper body while her abdomen is exposed while wearing a hood all around her head with her face exposed that also has a mask covering her nose, and mouth along with having white pants, and sneakers, and having hands that are shaped as tiger paws along with a white tiger tail on her pants.

"King Fallen, standing by." A ghoul having decaying skin as part of his avatar with a dusty, torn, worn out robe with a golden crown on while his lips are rotted enough to show his teeth, and having boned hands, and feet showing by lack of shoes from his robe.

"Infernal-Judge, standing by." The last one is a man having demonic skin, and wearing a fire themed crown while having a blue robe with mist around it.

"I'm glad all 10 of you are able to come help us out." Emperor started off to the Charisma Duelists. "You've no doubt know of the Hanoi attacking the VRAINS."

"Of course, I'm heading there now." Layla answered.

"I will give you a debriefing of the situation going on. The Hanoi are using there Tower to do something but they seem to be absorbing innocents into it to power it up." Emperor explained over to them. "The mission is simple, defeat the Hanoi, and prevent the Tower from activating at all costs."

"Got it, we'll take them down and keep that tower offline." White Tiger smiled before pausing. "Should I try and get in touch with him?"

"The more help the better White Tiger." Emperor answered over before saying. "Hayami will be sending the layering points for all of you to be at to take in the fight. And don't take the Hanoi lightly, they are a powerful bunch, and are enough to give the Phantom Thieves, and Playmaker a hard time."

"Our top priority is keeping the civilians safe, if you can keep them out of the crossfire do so." Hayami added as she sent the data to the ten Charisma Duelists.

"I don't see why we should waste our time with trash." Bayonet-Musket shrugged over as usual that he someone not caring. "They shouldn't be worth my best effort."

"If they succeed then everything here will be a long distant memory." King Fallen pointed out to Bayonet-Musket. "While I agree they shouldn't be worth our time, I do recognize the danger there posing."

"Time, you two! Save the discussion for later!" Cleopatra told the boys. "Right now our top priority is evacuating the civilians, and show the loser Hanoi what happens if they mess with us."

"Alright, are you all ready?" Emperor asked them.

"Affirmative." Blue Angel voiced for all of them.

"Alright, Hayami, Kitamura, and I will head in to assist you." Emperor mentioned. "Be careful."

White Tiger seemed to notice he looked more at her when saying that. Everyone nodded before leaving all except White Tiger which Emperor notices which he turned over to her. "White Tiger?"

"Are you going to be ok Sota?" she asked him.

Emperor frowned before admitting. "I'm not sure... I don't know if you founded out yet but Akira was fired."

"I heard, well that's not entirely a bad thing... he won't have you know who looking over his shoulder." White Tiger pointed out.

"I feel like it was my fault that happened..."

"Emperor sir, it wasn't." Hayami whispered to him.

Emperor closed his eyes before looking over to White Tiger. "It'll be good working with you again White Tiger."

"I feel the same." she smiled gently.

She signed off to join the battle such as Kitamura walked in asking over to Hayami. "What's the status?"

"The Charisma Duelists are engaging the Hanoi, and if we're ready the three of us should head in too." Hayami answered slightly coldly as she didn't like Kitamura though was willing to work with him.

"Very good. We need someone to monitor here to direct the Duelists, and Pawn Drones. That means you, and Emperor have a job to do." Kitamura smirked over. "With the way the Pawn Drones are programmed, the top 10 Duelists in the world, and the Dueling Overseer combined the Hanoi don't have a chance against us, and my promotion is on the horizon!"

"You're not going in to fight against the Hanoi?" Emperor inquired.

"Why would I risk myself when you all do it for me?" Kitamura doesn't feel the need to risk himself at the moment since from how this is looking this largely benefits him. Call him a coward, he doesn't want to risk himself if he gets destroyed earning his rewards. "Besides, we need someone to navigate the duelists outside of the VRAINS."

Hayami frowned but sighed. "Are you ready Emperor sir?"

Emperor frowned too nodding. "Yes Hayami. Before we start I have something to say to everyone in this room, including the Charisma Duelists."

They all turned to him at that to listen to what he had to tell them. Alongside the employees, Hayami, Kitamura, and the Charisma Duelists who are listening from a hologram from there Duel Disks Emperor cleared his throat telling the whole room. "Everyone, today we fight against the Knights of Hanoi in the Link VRAINS with there superweapon the Tower of Hanoi powering up. We don't know what the Tower can do, but there attacking innocents absorbing there data into the Tower. We must evacuate the civilians, repel the Hanoi, and find a way to stop the Tower. I realize this be incredibly difficult, but father trusts everyone in this room to find the answer. We fight to prove that we, SOL Technologies, are the most powerful company in the world, and against a group of hackers we need to be ready! For SOL Technologies!"

"Let's go Hayami!" said woman nodded as the two readied together in a area where they will be, "Into the VRAINS!" While the two head to Link VRAINS, Kitamura smirked in the room turning over. "Now prepare for the counter attack!"


In Link VRAINS...

Emperor in his avatar from the Data Banks, and Hayami in a new appearance appeared in Link VRAINS near the Charisma Duelists where the battle is nearby seeing the Tower of Hanoi in the distance.

"Keep the civilians safe and keep the Hanoi away from them." Hayami called.

They nodded before splitting together as Emperor called some Pawn Drones directing them. "Assist the Charisma Duelists in evacuating the citizens, and stop the Hanoi!" The Pawn Drones followed before Emperor turned to Hayami examining her avatar. "Now Hayami, are you sure your ready, I don't think you dueled in a while."

Hayami took a slow breath. "I'll be ok... and in Link VRAINS I go by Pandora."

Her avatar was a demonic woman having pink skin, and a white dress while wearing a tiara on her head which Emperor nodded. "Very well, I wish you luck. Let's go!" He manifested a Duel Board before charging in the battle.

Pandora took a slow and nervous breath before summoning her own Duel Board and following him. While on the way the two suddenly noticed the Tower of Hanoi is glitching a little which Emperor blinked. "Hey, what's going on?"

"I don't know... hopefully it's a good thing for us." Pandora admitted seeing that before her eyes widened. "Wait, could it somehow be the Phantom Thieves?"

"The Phantom Thieves?" Emperor asked hearing that before then thinking over. "Come to think of it Kitamura reported what they took from the Data Banks was information over the culprit of the Hanoi Project which involved Dr. Kogami. So if that's really true they would indeed have an effect on the Tower of Hanoi. That must also means there on our side."

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend... for now at least." Hayami agreed.


Meanwhile in the Tower...

The Hanoi are now trying to examine the damage from the destruction of the seed to figure how long it takes for it to charge now, and to protect the Tower from whatever comes up. They weren't sure how the Phantom Thieves managed to find the seed but right now there focused on repelling SOL's defense, and charge up the Tower of Hanoi from the people there beating to power it up to purge all of Link VRAINS, and in turn destroy the Ignis.

While working though Faust detects something which he frowned. "Reinforcements from SOLs are coming." They turned over where in several hologram screens were the Charisma Duelists being lead by Pandora, and Emperor coming in to join the battle.

"We should have expected SOL would make a move." Dr. Genome frowned.

"It matters little." Varis said staring ahead before turning. "Genome, Faust, Baira, you three will head in to join ahead. Repel these foolish duelists who think cause they have a rank, there better."

The three of them nodded heading out to join the battle. T

"Specter how many casualties has been racked from the battle?"

"170 so far, Varis." Specter answered.

"We still have numbers on our side, there Pawn Drones are worthless." Varis stated over simply. "Monitor the lieutenants inform me or father if we need to step in ourselves."

"Of course." Specter nodded calmly at that.

Varis then turned to Dr. Kogami. "Let's assess the damage the seed's destruction brought, and figure out how long it will now take for the Tower to complete charging father."

Dr. Kogami frowned. "How could they have found it, there's more going on here than we understand Varis."

Varis nodded as they begun typing in to assess the damage.


At the Battle...

The two sides are already dueling hard, and the Charisma Duelists showcase there talent in the battle beating waves of Hanoi, while the Hanoi are destroying the Pawn Drones while the three lieutenants have joined the battle to stem the tide.

"Take the right side over there." King Fallen directed Infernal-Judge as they approach two paths for them to better coordinate there attack.

"Don't tell me what to do." Infernal-Judge frowned but he still followed King Fallen's suggestion and flew to the right as King Fallen took the left.

Riding through on his Duel Board he sees two Hanoi are attacking a citizen while a Pawn Drone is trying to hold them back but looks to be struggling from being outnumbered.

Frowning he moved between the Pawn Drone and the two Hanoi. "I'm your opponent now."

Turning to the Pawn Drone he frowned. "Get the citizen away from the battlefield."

"Obey." the Pawn Drone turned to the citizen who evacuated.

"Foolish duelist, trying to be a hero." one of the Hanoi smirked over at Infernal-Judge.

"I'm no hero, but I am your judge and you've been judged guilty of threatening Link VRAINS." Infernal-Judge told him.

The Hanoi prepared only for someone to materialized behind them. "Don't concern yourselves with him. He's mine." They turned over where someone wearing a black, and white robe like the Hanoi with a mask like them covering both eyes having long spiky black hair was there walking in front of them. "Get back to work, I'll take the trial instead of you two."

The two Hanoi nodded racing off at that. The Hanoi left behind turned over. "So now the Number 10 Charisma Duelist... I must be bringing myself low to face a weakling who's at the bottom of the barrel."

"What was that?" Infernal-Judge questioned.

"You heard me. You'll be facing me, Kilian in a match where you will forever chained down as the novice you are." the Hanoi activated his Duel Disk. "Data Gale!" He threw a card in the air as black Data Storms generated around them. "This little card prevents the both of us from logging out so you won't be escaping like the coward you really are."

"I have no intention of running away." Infernal-Judge told him. "Given this storm, it's too dangerous to Speed Duel so I assume you're after a Master Duel?"

"Indeed." Killian readied as the Master Duel Field layout appeared. "Go ahead, try, and prove me wrong."

"DUEL!"

"I target Infernoid Antra to make him unaffected by your cards this turn."

Infernoid Antra: (Unaffected to Killian's card effect)

"Your monster wasn't my intention." Killian pointed out which Infernal-Judge blinked. "My plan was to destroy my monsters." All three of his monsters were destroyed from the spell's effect.

"What, why would you..." Infernal-Judge started before his eyes widened in realization. "No!"

"They all have effects that activate when destroyed. All three summon a new Unchained to take the field." Killian has three cards appeared from his Deck before calling them. "Unchained Twins - Sarama, Unchained Soul of Shyama, and Unchained Soul of Disaster!"

"Disaster gains 300 points for every Unchained card in the graveyard."

Disaster roared as it gained energy from Aruha, Sharvara, Rakea's power.

Unchained Soul of Disaster: (ATK: 0 + (300 * 3) = 900)

Infernal-Judge flinched at that.

"Then I use Shyama's effect! By destroying a card on my field, a Spell or Trap card on the field is destroyed." Killian added as Sarama was destroyed charging in at Infernal-Judge's Void Purification.

The trap shattered.

"And as Sarama was destroyed, I take a second Rakea, and summon it!" Killian called as Rakea rose up.

Unchained Soul of Disaster: (ATK: 900 + 300 = 1200)

"And now appear the broken circuit!" Killian raised his arm as the Link portal appeared.

Infernal-Judge flinched seeing that. The three monsters shot up entering the top, bottom-left, and bottom-right arrows.

"The chains are broken! Now unleash the everlasting soul of anguish who brings the suffering of all those who live in despair! Link Summon! Unchained Soul of Anguish!"

At that materializing was a orange energy wolf chained roaring.

"Battle!" Now geared for battle Killian called the order. "Anguish destroy Infernoid Antra!" The wolf roared charging in at Antra. With nothing protecting it Antra shattered easily.

"Exactly like I thought. Weaklings should stay as weaklings." Killian walked in front of the down Infernal-Judge. "Don't fret though, you still have your uses. You'll be used to charge the Tower, and in turn exterminate the Cyberse." While he said this Infernal-Judge starts glowing to be absorbed.

"I'm not the one you should be worried about." Infernal-Judge mentioned as he turned into data and vanished.

"Who? The Phantom Thieves?" Killian turned as he stared off at the data. "They mean nothing. Varis is stronger then before, and your comrades will not be as lucky." He turned heading off at a Duel Board.


Meanwhile at SOL...

"Kitamura sir!" an employee turned to the relaxing official in charge who thinks there won't be any problems which this will prove is incorrect.

"What is it?" he questioned in annoyance.

"One of the Charisma Duelists was defeated sir." the employee answered.

"What? How is that possible?" Kitamura questioned. "Who?"

"The Number 10, Infernal-Judge."

Hearing that Kitamura relaxed sighing. "Oh, alright, had me worried for a second." Which surprises the employee from how he looked from alarmed to relieved.

"Sir? He's one of our top duelists and he was defeated without dealing any damage to the Hanoi." the employee explained.

"As expected of him. He's the weakest out of the Charisma Duelists so it's no wonder he's the first to fall." Kitamura shrugged off not caring that Infernal-Judge was beaten as he was the lowest-ranking Charisma Duelist. "Gotten me worried over nothing, now that the weakest link is gone we have nothing to fear."

The employees all looked nervous but nodded turning back to Link VRAINS.


Back at the Battle, White Tiger was flying around looking before a voice brought behind her. "Am I late?" She turned around seeing a blue fedora man like mercenary was behind her having gray skin, and a mechanical arm having a revolver barrel in it, and a gray cloak.

"Not at all, we saved plenty of Hanoi for you Shepherd." White Tiger grinned.

"Hn." the man grunted flying beside her. "So the Hanoi are attacking to charge some sort of tower if I understand right. And I also overheard that Zaizen was fired?"

"Yes, he was." White Tiger confirmed.

"Heard of what the Phantom Thieves been through. As soon as this is over, I know SOL would place a bounty on there heads." the Shepherd stated over to White Tiger. "But first let's kick the Hanoi's ass shall we?"

"Not before we kick yours." Looking over they see two generic Hanoi are flying behind them with smirks.

"Small Fry, but we can try and get in some tag-team practice for old time's sake." White Tiger smirked.

"Fine by me." the Shepherd nodded figuring this shouldn't be trouble.

"You think you can takes us on?" one of the Hanoi asked.

"I do." White Tiger mentioned as she and the Shepherd turned to them.

"DUEL!"

"I wouldn't take this cat lightly, she bites." White Tiger grinned. "Cause by sending her to the graveyard, I take 2 Beasts from my Deck that are level 3 or lower, and summon them under the condition there effects are negated, and are destroyed at the end of the turn!" Rescue Cat vanished leaving two lights as she takes two cards. "So come on out! Tri-Brigade Kerass, and Kitt!"

White Tiger discards a card while sending a card from her Deck to the graveyard. "And with that done, appear circuit of the Tri-Force!" The circuit appeared above them.

The Knights of Hanoi only smirked seeing that.

"Summon whatever you want." the first Knight of Hanoi laughed. "It won't change a thing."

"I wouldn't count on that. Link 3, and Link 4 at once coming soon." White Tiger smirked which confuses the Hanoi. "First the Link 3! Appear again circuit of the Tri-Force!" The circuit appeared where the Link 2, and Mercourier flew up entering the Bottom, Bottom-Right, and Right arrows.

"Among the mercenaries there is also one who comes down with the silver it fears to hunt down it's marks! Link Summon! Link 3, Tri-Brigade Rugal the Silver Sheller!"

The Knights of Hanoi only smirked seeing that.

"And now the Link 4." White Tiger smirked. "To have some help is Fraktall!" Fraktall aimed at the sky before shooting an arrow before it produced the link portal.

"As skilled as ever." the Shepherd smirked.

"By banishing any number of Beasts, Winged Beasts, or Beast-Warriors from the graveyard, I can summon a Link Monster of any of those types who's Link Rating is equal to the number of monsters banished!" White Tiger explained what's going on.

Despite that the Knights of Hanoi didn't look worried at all. Mercourier, Kerras, Rescue Cat, and Three-Trolling Trolls appeared before shooting up entering the left, right, bottom-right, and bottom-left markers.

"The Tri-Beasts have all gathered around, and bring the way towards the top mercenary among them to take the skies! Link Summon! Link 4, Tri-Brigade Shuraig the Ominous Omen!"

"Is that it?" the Knights of Hanoi questioned with a smirk.

"Oh far, I assure you." White Tiger smirked back. "Maybe this will get your attention! Since I summoned this card, or a Beast, Beast-Warrior or Winged Beast is Special Summoned to my side, Shuraig banishes a card on the field!"

The Knight of Hanoi frowned hearing that. The Link 4 aimed firing at the Hanoi's face-down. He frowned as the card vanished.

"As Mercourier was banished, I take Fallen of Albaz to my hand." White Tiger added a card. "I set 2 cards." She placed 2 face-downs before continuing. "Battle! Rugal the Silver Sheller attack Dark Grepher!" Rugal charged in firing several shots at the monster.

Dark Grepher braced himself before shattering.

(Knights of Hanoi: 7400/Hands: (#1: 1/#2: 4))

"Now Shuraig the Ominous Omen attack them directly!" The Link 4 moved in to them firing bullets.

The blow struck the Knight as he winced.

(Knights of Hanoi: 4400/Hands: (#1: 1/#2: 4))

"Alright boys, that's enough from me." Her eyes formed to tiger eyes for a sec with a grin. "I end my turn."

Knight of Hanoi #2 1st Turn:

"Fine, you think you're so confident let's see how you handle this!" the Knight of Hanoi called drawing. "I play Lair of Darkness!"


(Field Zone)

Lair of Darkness

Field Spell Card

All face-up monsters on the field become DARK. Once per turn, if you would Tribute a monster you control to activate a card effect, you can Tribute 1 DARK monster your opponent controls, even though you do not control it. Once per turn, during the End Phase: Special Summon as many "Torment Tokens" (Fiend/DARK/Level 3/ATK 1000/DEF 1000) as possible to the turn player's field in Defense Position, up to the number of monsters Tributed this turn while this card was face-up.


"And this spell is the start of your end!"

"Lair of Darkness?" White Tiger blinked knowing the spell. Why wouldn't she be, it has a large reputation as the signature spell of Virus Deck users.

"You know the spell, then you know that it turns all your monsters into DARK monsters and if I tribute a monster for an effect I can use one of your DARK monsters instead, so what happens when I play the spell Enemy Controller little girl?" the Knight of Hanoi told her using a spell.


Enemy Controller

Quick-Play Spell Card

Activate 1 of these effects;
● Target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; change that target's battle position.
● Tribute 1 monster, then target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; take control of that target until the End Phase.


"One of my monsters is Tributed of course." White Tiger frowned from this as both her monsters are coated in dark auras. "Which one?"

Tri-Brigade Rugal the Silver Sheller: (Attribute: DARK)

Tri-Brigade Shuraig the Ominous Omen: (Attribute: DARK)

"I'll tribute Rugal to take control of Shuraig!" the Knight of Hanoi called with a smirk.

Rugal vanished as Shuraig flew over to his field readying.

'I don't control any monsters so I can't use Rugal's effect.' White Tiger thought with a frown.

"Now, Enemy Controller normally only keeps your monster on my field for one turn so instead I'll sacrifice Shuraig to ensure you have no hope of winning." the Knight of Hanoi smirked as White Tiger's Link 4 vanished. "I tribute your monster, to call Vanity's Fiend!"


(Attack Position)

Gigantic Thundercross

Normal Trap Card

Target a number of monsters on the field and/or in the GYs, equal to the difference between your banished cards and your opponent's; banish them, then your opponent can Special Summon 1 monster from their Deck. You can only activate 1 "Gigantic Thundercross" per turn.


"I target monsters on the field or the graveyards equal to the difference of the number of banished cards we both have." White Tiger explained over. "Those monsters are then banished!"

"What?" the Knight of Hanoi questioned in shock.

"I have 4. You have 1. So the difference is 3." White Tiger said as Vanity's Fiend, Cracking Dragon, and Dark Grepher were banished. "But don't feel too bad, you can have a gift. Gigantic Thundercross allows you to summon a monster from your Deck in exchange."

"Fine, I'll summon my ace monster Darkest Diabolos, Lord of the Lair!" Appearing on the Hanoi's field was a large black fiendish dragon roaring.

● You can Tribute 1 DARK monster; your opponent places 1 card from their hand on either the top or bottom of the Deck.


"Attack!"

"Hold up." White Tiger reminded over as her graveyard glowed. "Shuraig's effect when sent to the graveyard takes a Beast, Beast-Warrior, or Winged Beast from my Deck to my hand who's Level is equal or lower to my banished Beast, Beast-Warrior, or Winged Beasts I have." She adds a card before the dragon charged in to continue on.

"And that monster won't be damaging anybody!" the Shepherd stepped in calling. "Cause I activate, Drone Asteroid's effect in my hand! By sending this card from my hand to the graveyard, I negate your direct attack, and summon Drone Tokens equal to the number of monsters you two possess!" At that a small propeller appeared on the field.

Battledrone General: (Attribute: DARK)

The Knights of Hanoi both frowned seeing that.

"I then activate General's ability! I summon a Drone that's has 1000 or fewer attack points back from the graveyard!" the Shepherd called as Eagle Drone popped up.

Eagle Drone: (Attack Position/Attribute: DARK)

"And I activate General's other ability! For the rest of this turn, Eagle Drone can attack directly!" the Shepherd added as Eagle Drone glowed.

Eagle Drone: (Can attack directly)

The Knights of Hanoi flinched at that.

"I set a card." the Shepherd sets a card. "Battle! Eagle Drone attacks directly!" Eagle Drone fired some bullets over at the Hanoi.

The Knight of Hanoi braced himself for the blow.

(Knights of Hanoi: 3900/Hands: (#1: 1/#2: 2))

"The effect of Eagle Drone destroys Lair of Darkness as it dealt battle damage!" the Shepherd added as Eagle Drone fired shots at the field spell.

"What? No!" the Knight of Hanoi cried seeing his field spell shatter.

"And that's the least of your troubles! Due to General's effect whenever a Drone attacks directly, I can then Tribute that monster to deal you damage equal to it's attack points!" Eagle Drone turned to a orb blasting at the Hanoi.

They braced themselves as they were hit again.

(Knights of Hanoi: 3400/Hands: (#1: 1/#2: 2))

"The effect of Sergeant activates! As a Drone attacked directly, this card can now attack you directly!" the Shepherd added as the Drone glowed.

Battledrone Sergeant: (Can attack directly)

"Sergeant attacks directly!" Sergeant turned firing a blast at the Hanoi.

(Knights of Hanoi: 2600/Hands: (#1: 1/#2: 2))

"The effect of General activates! You take damage equal to Sergeant's ATK!" Like before with Eagle Drone, Sergeant turned to an orb blasting at the Hanoi.

The Knights of Hanoi winced from that.

(Knights of Hanoi: 1800/Hands: (#1: 1/#2: 2))

"Now I activate my Skill, Drone Force!" the Shepherd activated his spell as parts of his suit glowed yellow.


Drone Force

The Shepherd's Skill

Target 2 monsters on the field (1 "Drone" monster you control, and 1 monster your opponent controls); for every "Drone" card in your GY, your opponent's monster loses 200 ATK equal to those monsters, then your monster gains ATK equal to that lost ATK until the End Phase.


"For every Drone in my graveyard, Diabolos loses 200 attack points while General gains those points!" the Shepherd explained over. "I have Eagle Drone, Asteroid Drone, Drone Pawn, Battledrone Warrant, and Battledrone Sergeant in the graveyard."

Diabolos groaned as it was weakened.

Darkest Diabolos, Lord of the Lair: (ATK: 3000 - (200 * 5) = 2000)

Battledrone General: (ATK: 2400 + (200 * 5) = 3400)

"Now General attack Diabolos!" General turned firing missiles at the large dragon.

The dragon roared as the missiles hit destroying it.

(Knights of Hanoi: 0400/Hands: (#1: 1/#2: 2))

"Doing well but your set card can't be activated." the Shepherd's Dueling AI in his Duel Disk spoken up.

"Quiet." the Shepherd told it before turning to White Tiger. "I assume, you can handle the rest?"

White Tiger nodded with a grin while he ended his turn.

Battledrone General: (ATK: 3400 - 1000 = 2400)

"I send all the cards in my hand and on my field to the graveyard to guess the type of card on top of my deck and if I'm right we switch life points... and you know the top card of my desk is a monster!"

At that White Tiger activated her set card which she grinned over from the Hanoi not Knight of Hanoi smirked drawing his card. "Monster, so our life points swap and Black Pendant finishes you off!"

"You might wanna check it again." White Tiger smirked as there life points aren't changing otherside from the damage they took from Black Pendant.

(White Tiger & the Shepherd: 7500/Hands: (White Tiger: 2/The Shepherd: 0))

"What?" the Knight of Hanoi questioned looking at his hand.

What he had drawn was not a monster but a spell.

"What? How!?" he cried in shock.

"I used this card." He looked seeing White Tiger has the trap Grave Lure in between her fingers. "What you thought you seen was a monster but your Deck was shuffled so you drawn something else."


Grave Lure

Normal Trap Card

Turn the top card of your opponent's Deck face-up, then your opponent shuffles their Deck. When your opponent draws the face-up card, immediately send it to the Graveyard.

Knight of Hanoi #1's Hand: 1/Field with Knight of Hanoi #2: Nothing

Fallen of Albaz, and Darkest Diabolos fused together.

White Tiger & the Shepherd wins!


"Those two were better then several of the some of the other Hanoi." the Shepherd told over to White Tiger a little impressed those generic Hanoi were stronger then the others.

"They're desperate, this tower is their last plan so if we stop it they'll be done for good." White Tiger pointed out.


At SOL Technologies Kitamura was smirking.

"There, you see? There's nothing to worry about at all." he told the employees.

"Um..." one employee tried saying that it was kinda hypocritical as White Tiger is the number 8 duelist, and that the Number 10 was beaten but a non-generic Hanoi.

"Kitamura." mentioned a voice.

Hearing that they turned over. King had just walked into the room.

"Oh, King sir!" Kitamura gasped in shock bowing. "What can I do for you?"

"I came to observe a certain duelist." King answered calmly. "Pandora."

"Oh uh yes sir." Kitamura bowed before turning. "Hey get a visual of Pandora!"

"Sir." an employee nodded at that.

They looked around, and soon an employee called over. "I found her!"

"On screen." King instructed as the employee nodded and Pandora appeared on the screen looking nervous on her Duel Board.


"So your one of the leaders?" Pandora looked up seeing Baira is above flinched but nodded. "Yes, I'm Pandora... head of security for SOL Technologies, and you must be one of the leaders of the Knights of Hanoi?"

"One of the three lieutenants." Baira answered at that. "Whatever, taking care of you will repel the attack."

"I... I won't lose so easily." Pandora mentioned nervously. "There's... a roof nearby for a Master Duel?"

Baira gestures to follow her. Frowning Pandora nodded following Baira. Baira flew off with Pandora off eventually setting on a rooftop together landing as Baira turned to Pandora. She was clearly shaking slightly even as she activated her Duel Disk.

"Your such a child, promoted too early." Baira stated over seeing that. "This won't be a contest at all."

Pandora flinched slightly before taking a breath. "I might surprise you." 'At least I hope, I've never actually dueled in Link VRAINS... and my last duel outside Link VRAINS was years ago...'

The two prepared readying as the Master Duel layout appeared.

"DUEL!"

Pandora's Hand: 3/Field: Arianna the Labrynth Servant (Attack Position), Two Set Cards

Baira 1st Turn:

"Okay my turn draw!" Baira drew checking over.

Pandora watched nervously.

"I start by activating Dark Mummy Decay's effect from my hand!" Baira reveals two cards. "By banishing both this card, and a Trap card in my hand, I can summon it from my hand, and set the trap! Come Dark Mummy Decay!"

At that raising up was a large mummy having bandages around it's arms.

A set card appeared with the monster. Pandora shuddered seeing that.

"Then I activate, Full Force Virus!" Baira reveals her face-down.


Full Force Virus

Normal Trap Card

Tribute 1 DARK monster with 2000 or more DEF; look at your opponent's hand, all monsters they control, and all cards they draw until the end of their 3rd turn after this card's activation, and destroy all those monsters with 1500 or less DEF.


Pandora shivered seeing the virus trap.

"By Tributing Decay on my field, I look at your hand, and every monster on your field in your hand, or what you draw who's DEF is 1500 or fewer are destroyed!" A black smoke cloud moved enveloping Pandora's side.

Pandora frowned as Arianna survived but Cooclock was destroyed while her hand contained two trap cards.

"Then as Decay was Tributed to activate a Trap, I take 1 other Trap from my Deck, and add it to my hand." Baira takes a card adding it. "Then I activate Monster Restitch!"


Monster Restitch

"Due to it's effect, I can summon a Dark Mummy Token that's equal or up to the monster I Tributed!" Baira called as five dark orbs appeared.

Dark Mummy Token x5

This card can be treated as "Dark Mummy Token".


"Five monsters?" Pandora asked in shock.

"And now appear the future circuit that guides us!" The Link Circuit appeared three of them entered the Top, Bottom-Left, and Right Arrows. "Link Summon! Link 3, Dark Mummy Surgical Forceps!"

From that lowering down was a dark mummy woman having blades, and a small mask lowering down readying.

"I play Raigeki Break!" Pandora cried. "I discard a card to destroy Surgical Forceps!"


Raigeki Break

Normal Trap Card

Discard 1 card, then target 1 card on the field; destroy it.


A lightning bolt charged down striking Surgical Forceps but was dispelled showing it wasn't fazed.

"Huh, what?" Pandora asked in shock seeing that.

"Nice try, however Surgical Forceps is immune to any trap you use." Baira smirked over. "Sorry but I won't lose to a child."

Pandora's eyes widened in shock. "Immune to traps?"

"And now I use my remaining two Tokens!" They flew up entering the left, and right arrows. "Link Summon! Link 2, Dark Mummy Stethalops!"

At that a zombie rose up showing a pump as arms readying.

You can only activate each effect of "Dark Mummy Stethalops" per turn.


Pandora's eyes widened seeing that.

"Battle! Surgical Forceps attack Arianna!" The Mummy charged to the monster.

"Stethalops attack her directly!" Stethalops charges in attacking Pandora.

Pandora's eyes widened as she raised an arm to protect herself but cried out.

(Pandora: 1500/Hand: 1)

"I place 1 card down, and end my turn." Baira ends her turn. "And if you draw a monster, if it has less then 1500 DEF, the effect of Full Force Virus destroys it."

Pandora 2nd Turn:

Pandora shivered drawing her card before revealing a monster named Labrynth Archfiend with 2800 defense points.

"Well lucky draw, but luck won't help you forever." Baira spoke seeing it.

Pandora flinched before taking a breath. "I play the trap Welcome Labyrinth."


Welcome Labrynth

Normal Trap Card

Special Summon 1 "Labrynth" monster from your Deck, also until the end of the next turn after this card resolves, you cannot Special Summon monsters from the Deck or Extra Deck, except Fiend monsters.

You can only use each effect of "Welcome Labrynth" once per turn.

If this card is Special Summoned: You can Set 1 Normal Trap from your Deck that can only be activated when an attack is declared.


She then revealed Sakuretsu Armor and set it facedown.

"You expect me to fall for a trap like that after revealing it? Surgical Forceps is immune the traps so you'll only be wasting it." Baira pointed out to her. "Are you a novice as well as a child?"

Pandora frowned. "I didn't set it for that reason, for every Trap in my graveyard Labrynth Archfiend gains 400 attack points and I have three."

Labrynth Archfiend: (ATK: 2000 + (3 * 400) = 3200)

"3200... interesting." Baira said to herself before checking the field if any of Pandora's monsters are summoned to Surgical Forceps' link.

They weren't, she played cautiously since she didn't know what Surgical Forceps did.

'Very well then.' Baira knows carelessly, or cautious when she sees it.

"I... I use the effect of Big Welcome Labrynth in my graveyard." Pandora declared. "I banish it to return a fiend monster I control to my hand, but if I have a level eight or higher Fiend I can return a card you control to your hand instead, like Dark Mummy Stethalops!"

Labrynth Archfiend: (ATK: 3200 - 400 = 2800)

The Link shifted before being returned to Baira's Extra Deck leaving Surgical Forceps, and her face-down on the field.

"Lady Labrynth attack Surgical Forceps!" Pandora called.

Labrynth charges in from this as Surgical Forceps readies in clashing together only for Baira to called over. "I activate my face-down, Virus Mummification! When your monster attacks, I can target that monster, and take control of-" Pausing she notices her face-down isn't activating. "What's this?"

"Labrynth Archfiend attack her directly!" Pandora called.

Labrynth Archfiend charges in attacking Baira forcing her back. (Baira: 0600/Hand: 3)

"I end my turn." Pandora mentioned looking a bit more relieved now.

Pandora's Hand: 1/Field: Lady Labrynth of the Silver Castle (Attack Position), Labrynth Archfiend (Attack Position/ATK: 2800), One Set Card

Baira 2nd Turn:

"Well, I have to admit, not bad." Baira admitted to her. "But that's as far as you will go now."

"What?" Pandora asked hearing that.

"I draw!" Baira drew checking over. She can't risk attacking with Sakuretsu Armor on Pandora's field, and that monster of her's can't be targeted while she has a set card on the field, so this is gonna be a little tricky.

'I don't believe it... it might be mostly luck but I'm actually winning.' Pandora thought.

Soon getting an idea, Baira taps on a card. "I activate Mummy Revival!"


Mummy Revival

Normal Spell Card

Target 1 "Dark Mummy" monster in your GY; Special Summon it in Attack Position, but negate it's effects. If a "Dark Mummy" monster is Tributed to activate a Trap: You can banish this card from your GY; draw 2 cards. You can only activate 1 effect of "Mummy Revival" per turn.


"With this, I summon Surgical Forceps back from the graveyard under the condition I negate it's abilities." Surgical Forceps rose back up readying.

Dark Mummy Surgical Forceps: (Attack Position/Effects Negated)

"Why would you do that?" Pandora asked.

"A good question. You will see soon." Baira sets two cards. "I end my turn." 'And when she draws both Full Force Virus, and my set Eradicator Epidemic Virus will destroy it if it's either a monster with 1500 or less Defense Points or a Trap card, and I can use my trap to revive Forceps to finish this.'

Baira's Hand: 1/Field: Dark Mummy Surgical Forceps (Attack Position/Effects Negated), Three Set Cards


Pandora: 1500

Hand: 1

Field: Lady Labrynth of the Silver Castle (Attack Position), Labrynth Archfiend (Attack Position/ATK: 2800), One Set Card

Pandora 3rd Turn:

The moment Pandora drew Baira called over. "I activate my face-down, Zombie Power Struggle!"


Zombie Power Struggle

Quick-Play Spell Card

Target 1 Zombie monster on the field; until the end of this turn, it gains 1000 ATK or loses 1000 ATK. During your Main Phase, if this card is in your GY: You can shuffle 1 of your banished Zombie monsters into the Deck, and if you do, Set this card, but banish it when it leaves the field. You can only use this effect of "Zombie Power Struggle" once per turn.


"1 Zombie gains 1000 attack or loses that much."

Surgical Forceps: (ATK: 2400 + 1000 = 3400)

"And I activate Eradicator Epidemic Virus!" Surgical Forceps vanished revealing a new trap.


Eradicator Epidemic Virus

Normal Trap Card

Tribute 1 DARK monster with 2500 or more ATK, and declare 1 type of card (Spell or Trap); look at your opponent's hand, all Spells/Traps they control, and all cards they draw until the end of their 3rd turn after this card's activation, and destroy all cards of that declared type.


"By Tributing a DARK monster with 2500 or more attack points, I declare 1 type of card either a Spell or Trap, and for the next 5 turns, all cards of that type on your field, in your hand, and what you draw are destroyed!" Baira explained.

"What?" Pandora cried in shock.

"And the card I pick is obviously Trap cards!" The smoke from before moved in onto Pandora's hand, and field.

Pandora's eyes widened as the trap in her hand and her set Sakuretsu Armor were both destroyed.

Labrynth Archfiend: (ATK: 2800 + (400 * 2) = 3600)

"Then I activate Coffin Mummification!" Baira uses her second face-down.


Coffin Mummification

Normal Trap Card

If a card your opponent controls is destroyed a Normal Trap: You can target 1 "Dark Mummy" Link Monster in your GY; Special Summon it. If a "Dark Mummy" monster should be destroyed; you can banish this card from your GY instead. You can only activate 1 "Coffin Mummification" per turn.


"As a card you have is destroyed, I can summon Surgical Forceps once more!" Surgical Forceps rose up readying.

Dark Mummy Surgical Forceps: (Attack Position)

Pandora flinched seeing the Link Monster.

"Now your drawn card?" Baira gestures her to show the card she drawn which although wasn't destroyed hasn't be revealed yet.

"It's a spell card, Labrynth Set-Up, and I'll set it facedown." Pandora answered. "Now, Lady Labrynth attack Dark Mummy Surgical Forceps!"

"Spell?" Baira asked since that was the card that is the weakness as Lady Labrynth charges in as she stares. 'Varis... I failed you.' She summoned a keyboard typing in something before vanishing as she stared ahead while Surgical Forceps was destroyed taking her with it.


Pandora: 1500

Hand: 0

Field: Lady Labrynth of the Silver Castle (Attack Position), Labrynth Archfiend (Attack Position/ATK: 3600), Labyrnth Set-Up (Set)

Baira: 0000

Pandora wins!


At SOL Technologies...

"Hm... what do you think Kitamura?" King asked. "Of how she performed."

"Lucky is all. Weakest of all of us even weaker then the Number 10 Charisma, she performed lucky against that Hanoi." Kitamura displeasure from Pandora defeating a high ranking Hanoi who uses the Virus Traps when he doesn't think highly of her.

King just looked on thoughtfully.


Ulrich362: Well... the Hanoi and SOL Technologies are in the middle of a big battle. Though the two strongest Hanoi haven't appeared yet.

bopdog111: Varis, and Specter are watching from behind the scenes to seeing the damage the Tower suffered, and the other checking the casualties of there numbers respectfully.

Ulrich362: True, though I have a feeling Specter at least will join the fray soon and he's going to be a very dangerous opponent.

bopdog111: But let's head back to the Thieves on there own end next chapter. The battle will take a while to finish since the Tower's charging time has been increased a lot.

Ulrich362: Sounds good to me, see you in the next chapter.

bopdog111: Be sure to review!
