When Demon King and his friends went to investigate what was happening in Duel Links, they knew it had to be Poseidon Nero's doing as part of his crazy plan to bring the whole world in a new virtual era. Justice from Interstellar attempted to stop Poseidon Nero himself, but he lost and is now gone. He's been digitized and there's no telling what may have happened to him. Now that it has happened, Demon King and his friends stood facing Poseidon Nero himself on his own ground.
"Okay, Poseidon Nero... You're going to pay for what you did to Justice." Demon King claimed. "This crazy plan of yours ends right here and now."
"Easy, Demon King. He's clearly very dangerous and is willing to take down anyone that dare stands in his way." Eden advised. "We all saw what he just did to Justice."
'That's true, but what I find baffling is that he got all the results that suited him perfectly when it came down to luck.' Aoneko thought. She could just tell that something was very wrong here.
"So, you still wish to face me and oppose me." Poseidon Nero said. "If that's really what you desire, go right ahead. You will just simply meet the same fate as what has happened here."
"You don't scare us." Kyubi claimed.
"We can't let you go around and do whatever you please." Sylph said. "If we have the power to stop you, we're going to do whatever we can."
"Better make it easy on yourselves and just give it up." Wiseman said. "You mess with us and you're going to end up regretting it."
"You all certainly sound brave and confident, but you will not stop my plans." Poseidon Nero said. "Around here, you are fellow duelists. There is only one way for you to get your way. If you truly intend to stand in the way of me and my associates, you'll have to defeat all of us. That is the only way you can restore things to how they once were. However, we will not be defeated so easily. What happens here will be signs of things that are meant to be." That was what he warned them before he transported himself somewhere else.
"Where did he go?" Wiseman said.
"I don't think he logged out, but he might have retreated somewhere into this castle." Jinn said as he had a look around the place and saw how large the place was. "So, if we're really doing this, what's the plan?"
"The plan is to find Poseidon Nero and take him down." Demon King said. He can't get what happened to Justice out of his mind. It was so wrong and he can't forgive Poseidon Nero for that. "I know Justice didn't think highly of us, but wherever he is now, he's trusting us to put a stop to this. For him to ask for our help like that... We can't let him down."
"As true as that is, we can't afford to be reckless. We're now in enemy territory." Eden said. "This part of the virtual world is under Poseidon Nero's control. Anything he authorized could happen here, so we don't know the full extent of whatever he's capable of."
"But we can't let that stop us." Kyubi said.
"We know what we're doing is crazy, but we've got to try. We might be the only ones to make a difference. The only ones that are willing to fight." Wiseman said. They might be up against some dangerous criminals, but they won't back down. They feel they have the power to stop them, and that's what they're going to do. In fact, Laguna wasn't waiting around. He started walking and was heading for the inside of the castle.
"Laguna, wait. Where are you going?" Sylph asked.
"To go inside and search around." Laguna said. "We're not going to get anywhere like this. The only thing we can do if we intend to stop this is to search around and find the enemy. Defeating them might be our only chance."
"That might be true, but it's not just Poseidon Nero we have to defeat. There are his cohorts as well." Eden said.
"That's right. There's that Acnoella, this mysterious Deadend Crow, and we can't forget about that Shura creep." Aoneko reminded. "We're going to have to defeat each one of them, and each one of them is probably on the same level as Drakken Joe. Each one of those three are considered dangerous criminals that Interstellar and the authorities have been after for a long time. We also can't forget that strange character named Ziggy. This might be Poseidon Nero's doing, but I'm getting the feeling that Ziggy will be the most troubling."
"Maybe, but we knew this wasn't going to be easy." Wiseman said. "Maybe if we look around this castle, we can also find something that could be helpful."
"We've got a lot of ground to cover, so it might be best if we separate and search around." Laguna said.
"Yeah, and remember that we got each other's backs." Demon King assured. "I think it's time we stop talking and get to dueling. Let's find them and take them down."
"Yeah!" All of them shouted as they were ready to take a stand to this cyber tyrant. With that, they all went into the castle. As they were getting themselves to take down this criminal force, there was one more that was going to take part in this challenge as well. Piratetress was there as well, knowing fully well what has transpired. With her having a stake in this fight as well, she intends to join in this fight.
...
Interstellar
"Justice... He's really gone..." Eraser muttered. The people of Interstellar were trying to prevent duelists from entering Poseidon Nero's territory, but they also know what happened to Justice. They were all in shock and couldn't believe that he was really defeated and gone. "I can't believe he was actually defeated."
"As upsetting as this is, we must keep going." Feather said. "That's what Justice would want us to do. They'll be plenty of time to mourn over this when it's over, but what we can do is get vengeance."
"That sounds good to me." Holy said as she was all for revenge. "I say the three of us go in and take Poseidon Nero down." 'Besides, this might be my best chance. He's in there, and I can finally have my revenge.' Holy is out for revenge, and it's against one of those criminals. With all enemies gathered in one place, this might be her best chance to have that.
"I agree. Let's do this." Eraser said. Before going with them, he turned to his workers. "Continue to make sure no duelists enters through that strange threshold! Also, get in contact with Executive Cure! I don't know what he's doing, but tell him to meet us there! We need all hands on deck!"
"Yes sir!" The executives of Interstellar are taking charge and command now. All hands really are going to be on deck.
...
Poseidon Nero
After he was done with Demon King and his friends, Poseidon Nero transported himself back to a different part of the crystal. Seeing as how he took the name of an emperor, he might as well look the part. That's why he sat on a throne with Acnoella meeting him.
"Those brats are going to get in our way, aren't they?" Acnoella said.
"They will." Poseidon Nero claimed. "They've made it clear they will stand against us. If that's how it's going to be, we'll make them an example out of them as to what happen to those who dare oppose us. Deadend Crow, are you there?! Can you hear me?!"
"I'm here." They heard Deadend Crow's voice could be heard. A green ball of light flew in and that is what they were using to communicate with each other. "I'm not worried about these children. In the end, all will be said and done."
"So long as you fight for our goals, do as you please." Poseidon Nero said. "It won't be long before Shura joins in as well. I think it's time to let the games begin. Go ahead and choose your targets."
"In that case, I think I'll be the first to go." Acnoella volunteered. "I saw someone else here. I've got a little scored to settle." She was going to head out first to have the first duel. There's only one person she has a score to settle with.
...
Piratetress
Demon King and the others roamed around Poseidon Nero's castle. They have two goals: bring Poseidon Nero and his forces down, and find whatever he plans to use to put an end to his crazy goals. Piratetress was going to be a part of it as well. That's why she's outside and roaming around the castle. She wanted to take part in the fight, but her opponent came to her. Acnoella transported in front of her.
"Hello, my sweet girl." Acnoella said.
"Acnoella... I knew you were going to show up eventually." Piratetress said.
"Yes. I didn't want to keep my daughter waiting." Acnoella said. "Besides, you and I have a score to settle."
"I see. You couldn't wait to have a rematch." Piratetress said. "That's just fine. I came here to aid Demon King and the others to take you down. It's time we put an end to things once and for all."
"And I agree." Acnoella said. It seems like nothing else needed to be said between them. Both of them stood facing each other and could now begin.
"Let's duel!" Both of them said as they were starting their duel with 4000LP each.
"I'll make the first move!" Acnoella said. "I'll start by activating my Mobius System! I never get tired of using it." She claimed with her spell activating. "You're well aware of what this does, so I'll skip the explanation and activate my Ancient Rules spell! This spell will now allow me to summon Dragonoid!" She summoned out her mechanical dragon with it having 2800atk points. "And now that I have this out, I can now use my Mobius System to summon the other two in defense mode!" She brought out her other two dragons with them having 0def points. "Now that I have these three, I will now build my circuit!" The circuit opened up. "The summoning conditions require at least two level five or higher dragons, so I set all three in the link arrows!" All three of her dragons dived into the arrows all on the bottom row. "I link summon the largest dragon there ever was! Wood Dragon Aldoron!" The dragon she summoned out was a giant one. It was so large that it towered over the castle. Parts of it were mechanical, but the head looked like a piece of wood. It also had 2000atk points.
"For such a large beast, it certainly doesn't hold a lot of power." Piratress said with her not being afraid.
"That's only because I haven't used his special ability yet." Acnoella said. "Once per turn, I can have a wood dragon token grow on my field." When she said that, a piece of wood emerged out of the ground like a tree and shaped itself into lizard-shaped creature made of wood. It also only had 800atk points. "And take notice that I summoned it next to Aldoron's link. When there's a monster next to Aldoron's link, he gains an additional 800atk points." Aldoron gained power from it being fed off the token as it now had 2800atk points. "Also, don't bother trying to attack my token to make it weaker. Aldoron's other ability prevents you from attacking any monster that is next to his link."
"Quite the tree garden you're growing. Never knew you to have such a green thumb, Mother." Piratetress said.
"Only because these trees are part of my lovely dragons." Acnoella claimed. "I'll place one card facedown so that I may end my turn. Your turn, and don't expect this to go like it did last time. This time, I'll be more than ready for whatever you might try." Acnoella sounds sure of herself this time. Is she really planning to have revenge on her own daughter from her last defeat.
...
Kyubi
Meanwhile, Kyubi was searching around the castle for signs of anything. Although, it's not going to be easy since the castle is huge and she doesn't know what to look for. All she does know is that she's got to find an enemy. As she was running, she passed a window and saw shadow blocking out the light.
"That's odd. It can't be that late in the day already." Kyubi said. She looked out the window and was shocked to see something so huge was blocking out the light of the virtual world. "What is that thing?" Thinking she needs to check this out, she hurried to where she could get outside.
...
Outside
Kyubi made her way through the castle and eventually found her way outside. When she got there, she was surprised to see the duel going on between Acnoella and Piratetress.
"Piratetress is here?" Kyubi said as she wondered when Piratetress showed up. That was when Piratetress noticed her.
"Kyubi! You're here!" Piratetress said.
"Yes. When did you get here?" Kyubi questioned.
"Around the same time you and your friends did." Piratetress claimed.
"So, that means you saw what happened to Justice." Kyubi said. She certainly did, but Piratetress didn't need to say it. The hard expression on her face said it all.
"I wouldn't worry about that right now. You should worry more about yourself." Acnoella warned. Piratetress shook distractions out of her head and got back in the duel.
"My turn! I draw!" Piratetress said with her drawing her next card.
"And because it is, I can now activate my continuous trap: Dragon's Rage!" Acnoella said with her trap activating. "Don't bother summoning any of your monsters in defense mode to protect you. As long as this trap remains on the field, my dragons can inflict piercing damage." That might limit Piratetress' options. "You might be my daughter, but I will show you no mercy!" Faced with a gigantic wood dragon-like creature, her defenses unable to protect her now, and faced with her own mother; how is Piratetress going to get out of this one?
