Chapter 20
Harsh Truth
Last time in Dragon Ball Z…. I mean, Yu-Gi-Oh VRAINS Codes of Secrets! Codebreaker duels Ghost Girl to win the backdoor program to SOL Technologies' private, most confidential data fault! However, that goal is tougher to achieve due to Ghost Girl's terrifying Altergeist Deck! Will our hero overcome this challenge? Find out now! While I eat my sandwich.
"Well Codebreaker, it's been nice knowing you," Ghost Girl teased. "Battle! Kidolga will attack you directly first!"
Her Link Monster used its two battle axes and swung them around for emphasis before it pierced the axes for Yu. Even though the piercing didn't really hurt him (or worse), it still stings him like a bee stung only by thousand times.
Codebreaker (3h): 1400 LP
"Now, here comes your monster! Too bad it betrays you in the end," Ghost Girl stated. "Final attack! C# Download Knight, be a dear and slice him with your attack!"
Under her control, Download Knight bowed to her, obeying her and bringing out his sword. The knight warrior jumped up into the air, ready to swing down its sword on its original master.
"Trap Card activates!" He declared. "Waboku!"
"Hmm?" Ghost Girl looked a bit surprised.
"Amazing, folks! Yu Akira or Codebreaker as his alias protected himself with the Trap Card, Waboku!" Claire exclaimed as she was very close to falling off from the chopper.
"Waboku, Normal Trap Card, allows the player to not take battle damage this turn and his or her monster cannot be destroyed by battle this turn as well," Rossy explained briefly.
"Oh phooey! Here I thought I get it, but I guess it won't be that too easy. I end my turn," Ghost Girl finished childishly as she thought to herself differently. "Although why didn't he used that Trap Card before my first attack by Marionetter?"
"Phew! That was close," Tom admitted at the end of the line.
"Relax, Tom. You know better than I have a backup." Yu then laughed by himself. "Get it? Backup? As if data backup, huh, huh!"
Everyone didn't respond to his pun, not even yours truly as I continued eating my sandwich, which was the only sound we hear; my munching.
"… OK. I think it's my turn now!" Codebreaker moved on as he drew his card.
Codebreaker: 4h
Ghost Girl (2h): 4000 LP
"So, Codebreaker!" He stopped when Ghost Girl spoke up to him.
"Um yeah? What is it, Ghost Girl?" He asked casually.
"I will admit something to you," she said. "I didn't come to meet you to duel as we are doing right now, you know. As Cyber Treasure Hunter, I'm doing this for more than that."
"What is she talking?" Claire wondered. "Chopper, get us down closer!"
"What!?" Cameraman gasped. "But, that would mean we'll be close to the Data Storm and that's too dangerous!"
"Yes maim." The chopper-controlling AI obeyed.
"Waaaaaahh!" The cameraman screamed in fear.
"I'm here to know more about you, Codebreaker or should I say by your real name, Yu Akira?" Ghost Girl said.
"You can call me Morse. That's the nickname my friends say to me," he said as he smiled.
"Morse, huh? Well, I will call whoever or whatever you are, but there is one thing unclear about you…. And that is your past," she revealed.
"My past? What about it?" He looked a bit curious with a tint of concern.
"Morse's past? What is she talking about?" Tom asked himself.
"Before this, I research you ever since you became the famous hero alongside Playmaker. Unlike Playmaker, who is shrouded in mystery, you are very easy to find out about and I found something that surprisingly not a lot of people don't talk often about you or rather, they just have not yet found out about it and I'm the first to look it up or whatever."
"Master Yu, I suggest we should move on. My calculation states that she is just stalling you," Rossy said.
"No, Rossy, wait. I want to hear what she's saying," Codebreaker stated.
"So, to get straight to the point, I want to ask you this," she said as she turned over to her shoulder. "Your father, Yoshinobu Akira…"
Tom widened his eyes. "Morse, continue with your turn! You don't have to listen what she says! Just make your move!"
"Why did he…. put an end to his own life?" She asked straightforwardly.
Codebreaker's happy expression changed to something more serious and sad. He looked almost like the time when he was mad at the Knights of Hanoi.
"Y.. look up about my-my dad?" He asked jitterily.
"Your father was a pretty famous programmer and entrepreneur, according to my research. He had a company called 'Codebreakers', did he not?" She said with a question at the end.
"Ye-ye-yeah," he responded as he mumbled.
"Master Yu," Rossy said in a sad tone.
"I take it that is where your VR username came from, but that's just a minor thing. What's major is that your father, who was at the height of his career, took his own life away for an unknown reason. According to some old reports I managed to dig up, some says that it was due to stress, but others say it has something to do related with the deal he made with the current largest IT company in the world and the one who created this very VR world that we are dueling inside… SOL Technologies!"
"Holy Kuriboh! Are you taking this all in?" Claire asked the cameraman.
"Yes, maim, I am! But, I never expected this at all!" The cameraman was surprised as her. "Codebreaker's dad committed suicide."
"Yes, indeed! Folks, what we are hearing now is a major surprise! We just witness the shocking secret of one of our heroes of Link VRAINS! Codebreaker's father committed suicide, but what does that have to do with this duel though?" Claire said in front of the camera.
"One thing that's clear from that incident is that before he took his own life, he and his company was working on a top-secret project, which was leaked after a week the incident happened. That project …was called 'Legendary Codes'," she admitted as Yu gripped his hand. "According to the public announcement reported in the article of that time, it revealed that there are six codes hidden somewhere in Link VRAINS and whoever gathers all six, special powers will unlock. The information is vague, such as exactly what secret powers mean, but since then, a lot of Cyber Treasure Hunters seek the six Legendary Codes, and since then, 10 years from now, it practically became impossible to find, turning into myths in the modern world we live in. Just like the holy grail."
"ALRIGHT ALREADY!" Codebreaker yelled out loud.
She zipped her mouth as everyone else got surprised by his outburst.
"I get it! You looked up into my past, about my dad, and the Legendary Codes! But, why! Why are you saying all of this and what do you even want from it!?" He asked demandingly.
"What I want?" She repeated as she then closed her eyes for a brief. "All I want is the truth, kids. That is all, but of course, as a Cyber Treasure Hunter myself, I now became interested in finding the Legendary Codes to find out more about this."
"Well, I won't allow you to get it first before I do!" Yu shouted. "I continue my turn! Since I control no monsters on the field, I can Special Summon C# Bit Raider!"
A new warrior-like monster appeared on his field. It looked like C# Download Knight, except this one had a bulkier armor and it wielded a cybernetic battle-ax with a glowing blue edge as random numeric characters stream through it constantly. It also wore a helm with two horns, like a Viking.
C# Bit Raider-Level 4, LIGHT, Cyverse/Effect, 1500 ATK, 2000 DEF.
"Now I input the code to my circuit of hope and dreams!" A Link Square appeared above him. "Arrowheads confirmed! The summoning condition is one Level 4 or lower C# monster. I set my C# Bit Raider to the Link Marker!"
His Viking Cyverse monster turned into a blue twister as it sucked into the bottom-left arrow.
"Link Summon! Appear, Link 1! C# Binary Witch!" A cute, young girl in a cybernetic witch costume was summoned on his field as she gave a wink for her first ever appearance. Her eyes were bright purple, wearing a cybernetic dark blue witch hat, dress, and small cape as she is riding on a flying electronic pen used for signing at the cashier acting as the witch's broom.
C# Binary Witch-Link 1, DARK, Spellcaster/Effect, 800 ATK, Link Marker: Bottom-Left
"I activate C# Binary Witch's effect!" He continued. "I get to Special Summon her Link Material from the Graveyard! Return, C# Bit Raider!"
The Cyverse Viking warrior reappeared in the zone that Binary Witch's arrow is pointing to.
"Hmmm, I've never seen these two monsters before," Ghost Girl commented.
"Now, this is getting more interesting! Codebreaker has Link Summoned a never-before-seen C# Link Monster!" Claire exclaimed. "What will happen next makes me feel all exciting, folks! Don't you?"
"Then, I normal summon C# Cardulator and activate its effect." Codebreaker declared as his other said monster appeared. "Once per duel, I can I can draw a number of cards equal to the number of the C# monster in my Graveyard. Right now, I have three C# monsters in my GY. Therefore, I draw three!"
"If I know what's Morse planning to do, then he must be planning to destroy her monsters," Tom theorized. "But, still, he sure looks very angry about it."
"Now, I re-input my circuit!" A second Link Square appeared in his field. "The summoning condition is at least 2 C# monsters. I set my C# Bit Raider and Cardulator to the Link Markers!"
The two C# transformed into two blue twisters respectfully, hitting top-right and right arrows.
"Link Summon! Show yourself! Link 2, C# Hack Wizard!" The brand-new Link monster was another cybernetic-looking magic user, except this one was tall, dark-skinned, sharp, yellow eyes, silver hair, and he's a male. The monster wore an edgy, black and white costume and pointy hood, like Dark Magician or its other counterparts, but unlike other counterparts, it wielded a black laptop with a skull sticker on the center top of the lid.
C# Hack Wizard-Link 2, DARK, Spellcaster/Effect, 1800 ATK, Link Markers: Top-Right, Right.
"My, what a handsome looking monster." Ghost Girl blew a whistle.
"I've never seen such a dreamy looking duel monster," Claire said as she drew a bit.
"Um, Miss Claire, you're drooling, and the camera is still rolling," the cameraman said as he tried to snap her out.
Even Binary Witch was drooling as she stared dreamingly at Hack Wizard, which he sweat-dropped in response.
It's hard to be popular, huh, pretty boy?
"Hack Wizard's effect activates!" Yu declared as Hack Wizard returned to his composure. "When he is Co-Linked with another C# Link monster, he can either gain ATK equal to that monster's original ATK or the co-linked monster gains ATK equal to its own! I choose Hack Wizard to increase Binary Witch's ATK by her own original ATK!"
"Nani!?" Ghost Girl gasped as Hack Wizard opened his laptop's lid and started typing on it. Soon, Binary Witch glowed in the dark aura as her ATK increased by 800 points.
"With Binary Witch's ATK at 1600, she and Hack Wizard can destroy at least two monsters on her side of the field," Rossy analyzed.
"You got it, Rossy!" Yu stated. "I set a card and then, battle! I declare Hack Wizard to attack Download Knight! Hack Attack!"
Hack Wizard typed quickly at lightning speed and flipped his laptop screen at Download Knight, and then a purple beam made up of skulls shot out of the screen. It completely obliterated Download Knight into data bits as Ghost Girl had to shield herself.
Ghost Girl: 3800 LP
"Alright, folks! Codebreaker has finally done some damage to Ghost Girl's LP!" Claire exclaimed.
"Next up, C# Binary Witch attack your Kidolga! Binary Craft!" Binary Witch drew a magical rune of binary characters in the air and then blasted it away at Kidolga, which turned it into binary bits.
"Grrrrgh!" Ghost Girl twitched her eye from the attack.
Ghost Girl: 3000 LP
"I don't know what's your deal, Ghost Girl, but I don't like how you talk about my father! Yeah, everything you say is true, but one thing you're wrong about is that my father never took his life by his own hand! I just won't allow it!" Codebreaker argued. "I end my turn."
Codebreaker (4h): 1400 LP
Ghost Girl, however, didn't look worried. In fact, she was smiling.
"You're interesting, Codebreaker. Very interesting," she said. "What did you mean that at the end. You won't allow it?"
"I'm saying that I don't accept that my father suicided because of whatever the reason!" Yu emphasized. "All I care is to fulfill his dream; to gather all six Legendary Codes for him!"
"What a dramatic tension between the two duelists!" Claire exclaimed.
Do you guys think Claire is kind of getting annoying or is that just me?
"Hey! What's that supposed to mean!?" Claire shouted in anger.
"I see, but if you're determined to make that come true, then you had to beat me first! I activate Altergeist Kidolga's effect!" She declared.
"Say what!?" Yu, Tom, and even Rossy gasped.
"If it is destroyed by battle, I can target 1 Altergeist monster in my GY and add it to my hand!" She explained. "I add Altergeist Silquitous."
"Now I draw!" She drew her card. "I Normal Summon my Silquitous that I added from my hand and then activate my Trap Card, Altergeist Emulelf!"
The avian Altergeist returned, but a new one also appeared next to it. This one was mainly yellow and like every other of its kind, it had no face, except the smiley for its mouth.
"A Pusedo-Trap monster?" Codebreaker thought aloud.
"Pusedo-Trap monster is a special kind of Trap Card that can be treated as a monster," Rossy explained. "According to my calculation, Master Yu, there is 95% chance that she is going to…."
"Now, re-open! The circuit to the unknown parallel universe!" Ghost Girl declared as a Link Square appeared below her monsters.
"Arrowheads confirmed! The summoning condition is 2 or more Altergeist monsters. I set my Altergeist Marionetter, Silquitous, and Emulelf!"
Her three Spellcasters turned into green, bronze, and yellow twisters and each sucked into the arrows.
"Link Summon! Appear, Link 3! Altergeist Primebanshee!" Her ace appeared as it laughed eerily, showing off its 2100 ATK and three Link Arrows, which are right, bottom-right, and bottom.
"At this point, I activate Altergeist Silqutous' effect. When she is sent from the field to the GY, I can target 1 Altergeist Trap in my GY and add it to my hand. I add my Altergeist Emulelf." She did just that.
"According to my calculation, there is 100% chance that this is her true ace monster!" Rossy stated.
"It may be, but it definitely falls into my Trap!" Codebreaker exclaimed. "Trap Card opens! Bottomless Trap Hole!"
"I activate my Counter-Trap, Altergeist Curse!" She flipped over her other Trap, which revealed Primebanshee looming over frightened goblins as it stood over closer and closer to them. "When my opponent activates a Trap Card that targets my Altergeist monster, the activation of the Trap is negated and destroyed!"
His Bottomless Trap Hole cracked into pieces like a shattered glass.
"No!" He shouted.
"Then, I get to Special Summon one Altergeist monster from my GY or hand. I Special Summon Altergeist Kildoga!" Her first Link monster reappeared on her side.
"Oh no," Tom said.
"I activate Primebanshee's effect!" She followed up. "I tribute Kidolga and then Special Summon 1 Altergeist monster from my Deck to the zone this card points to. I Special Summon Altergeist Meluseek!"
A mermaid Altergeist appeared just behind Primebanshee's bottom arrow.
"I set a card and then I battle! First, Meluseek will attack and its effect allows it to direct attack you instead!" Ghost Girl claimed.
"Say what!?" Yu gasped before he cringed in pain when Meluseek slapped him in the face with her fin tail.
Codebreaker: 900 LP
"Next up is my ace monster's attack! Altergeist Primebanshee attack your C# Binary Witch!" Her ace monster slithered fast and tangled his C# witch.
"Oh no! If his monster is destroyed like this, Morse will lose!" Tom stated.
"Not if I help it! I activate Kuricipher's effect from my hand!" Codebreaker revealed. "By revealing it from my hand, I take no battle damage this turn!"
His own version of Kuriboh appeared, using a force shield to protect its master from the damage.
"But, your monster still be destroyed!" Ghost Girl pointed out as Binary Witch gets crushed by Primebansee.
"I guess I end my turn," Ghost Girl said. "You really are persistent, Codebreaker."
"Master Yu, at this rate, you will lose and you only have one monster," Rossy said. "What should we do?"
"What can I do?" Codebreaker asked as he then remembered something that his father told him a long time ago.
Uh! Flashback!
-Flashback-
"Aaaaaaahhh!" A younger, kid Yu fell hard to the floor as his Life Points went down to zero.
"Are you OK, Yu?" His father asked.
Yu's father, Dr. Yoshinobu Akira, looked almost like Yu, except his hair was brown with much darker shade for the upper layer and wore a standard lab coat and pants.
"Dad, this duel program is too hard. This deck is too hard to use. I can't do it," Yu said sadly as he was about to cry.
"Hey Yu, the only thing that makes things hard is if you think it that way. There is always a solution to every problem. You just have to find the right code to it, that's all," Yoshinobu encouraged.
"The right code?" Young Yu repeated.
"Yup, the right code, son," he said as he smiled and patted on Yu's head.
-Flashback Ends-
"The right code…" Yu repeated as he then felt a strong breeze nearby. "Eureka! That's it!"
"What's it?" Rossy asked.
"What's wrong, Yu?" Tom asked, too.
"I know how to beat her, and the right code for it is the Data Storm!" He exclaimed.
Suddenly, the wind became stronger and harsher. Ghost Girl looked to the front and noticed a huge Data Storm heading in their direction.
"Yikes! I'm not definitely getting stuck in that thing again!" Ghost Girl surfed away, barely dodging it, but Codebreaker kept surging forward.
"What!? What is he doing?" Ghost Girl said.
"Codebreaker is going into that Data Storm!" Claire shouted as her chopper dodged away from the storm, too.
"Codebreaker's planning to activate his skill," Ghost Girl's AI stated.
"Of course! He can use two skills; Code Access and Storm Access, and one he will use!" Ghost Girl realized. "Good thing I save this for last! I activate my skill!"
The lines on her suit brightened up with purple light.
"I activate my skill, Secret Cure!" Ghost Girl declared.
"Master Yu, Ghost Girl is going to use her skill!" Rossy stated.
"I excavate cards from my Deck until a Monster Card is revealed. If the card I get is a monster card, then I add it to my hand, all non-Monster Cards are sent to the GY, and both players gain LP equal to that monster's ATK!" Ghost Girl explained. "I draw the first card!"
"The card I draw…is my second Altergeist Meluseek! Therefore, I add it to my hand, send all non-Monster Cards, and we both gain 500 LP!" As she explained, both her and Codebreaker gained 500 LPs.
Ghost Girl: 3500 LP
Codebreaker: 1400 LP
"Thanks for my LP, but no thank you as well!" Codebreaker admitted.
"What?" Ghost Girl responded.
"I draw!" Codebreaker drew his card as the card sparkled a bit. "Eureka! This is it! I play the Spell Card, MicroExchange!" The said Spell showed Gagaga Girl holding both her credit card and Smartphone, using her card to buy some coins in a game app that appeared to look like Candy Crush Saga.
"By paying half of my Life Points, I get to draw 3 cards from my Deck!" His Life Points reduced by 500 and then he added three cards to his hand.
Codebreaker: 900 LP
"It can't be! Just right after I reduced his Life Points!?" Ghost Girl was surprised.
"Now, I use my own skill!" Codebreaker declared as he surfed bravely into the Data Storm.
He held steady on his D-Board as he put out his hand into the strong currents inside the Data Storm. Random shadows of some monsters appeared, swimming inside the storm. One shadow with a humanoid-like body (which also looked a bit feminine) swam nearby Yu.
"Here it comes!" Codebreaker stated as his data materialized in his hand.
Meanwhile, at Kusanagi Café, Yusaku stopped what he was doing as he sensed something.
"Hey, you sensed it, too, right?" AI asked.
"What's wrong, Yusaku? Is your Link Sense's acting up again?" Kusanagi said.
"I sense somewhere that there is a huge Data Storm in Link VRAINS …and someone is using it," Yusaku said.
"Someone's using it?" Kusanagi said. "Maybe some duelist is using a skill inside the Data Storm."
"Maybe it's Revolver! Or there is that guy who can also use Storm Access…" AI thought aloud.
"It must be him then," Yusaku said. "Codebreaker!"
Back in the duel, Codebreaker roared as data finally materialized completely into a card in his palm.
"Storm Access!" Yu shouted as he caught the card and then surfed out the storm.
"Tch! I can't stop either Playmaker or Codebreaker from activating their skill. I just have a tough luck," Ghost Girl moaned.
"It seems that our hero, Codebreaker is alright!" Claire cheered.
"Alright, Morse," Tom said as he was relieved.
"I play the Spell Card, Link Duplication!" The said Spell showed Decode Talker splitting into two copies in the cyberspace. "If my opponent controls a Link Monster, then I can Special Summon One Link Monster from my Extra Deck with its effect negated!"
The angelic version of his ace monster appeared on his field.
"What is he planning to do? Unless if he's!" Ghost Girl figured out.
"Now, re-open! I input the new code to the circuit of possibility!" A Link Square appeared above him, bigger than before.
"Arrowheads confirmed! The summing condition is 3 LIGHT Effect monsters. I set my Link 4 Cyber Heart Magician Girl to the Link Markers!"
His Link Monster split into four of itself with each different color, turning into red, green, blue, and yellow twisters that sucked into four arrows respectfully.
"Link Summon! Appear, Link 4! Cyber Knight Magician Girl!"
The brand-new version of Cyber Magician Girl appeared, and this one wore a red knight armor and instead of a wand, it had a sword instead. The sword had a silver hilt, but the blade part was colored red with sharp edges that shaped like a flame.
Cyber Knight Magician Girl-Link 4, FIRE, Spellcaster/Link/Effect, 2000 ATK, Link Markers: Top-Right, Top-Left, Bottom-Left, Bottom-Right
"A new Cyber Magician Girl!?" Ghost Girl looked very surprised before she grinned under her mask. "I'm impressed, but unfortunately, I expected more firepower."
"Oh, you'll see it," Codebreaker replied as he smirked. "Now, battle! I declare Cyber Knight Magician Girl to attack and her effect activates!"
Her sword blazed into a literal flame.
"During the Battle Phase only, she gains 1000 ATK as long as there is no other monster card next to any of her Link Markers!" His new evolved ace gained 1000 ATK. "Go, Cyber Knight Magician Girl! Soul Blaze Cleave!"
"Have you forgotten I still have Kunquery in my hand!" Ghost Girl reminded him, but Codebreaker just laughed.
"Good point, but too bad it won't work this time," he admitted.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"Cyber Knight Magician Girl is protected from the effect of Trap Card and monster effect from opponent's hand when it battles!" He revealed.
"Wait, then that means…" Ghost Girl sweated nervously.
"It means that you can't use Altergeist Kunquery's effect!" Codebreaker stated.
"Not only that, but even if I activate my Altergeist Protocol, it won't make any difference, but even so…" she thought.
Cyber Knight Magician Girl sliced Altergeist Primebanshee in half as Ghost Girl's ace burned into ashes.
Ghost Girl: 2800 LP
"Too bad. I still have more Life Points!" Ghost Girl pointed out.
"Not for long," Yu replied. "I activate the Quick-Play Spell, C# Overclock!" The said card showed a red graphics card's fan running at intense speed.
"By equipping this card to a monster, I control, that monster gains 200 ATK for every C# monster in my Graveyard and can attack equal to that number of the C# monster in my Graveyard!" Yu explained.
"Nani!?" Ghost Girl gasped.
"Impossible!" Claire surprised.
"Woah!" Tom exclaimed.
"The total number of the C# monster in my Graveyard is 6 C# monsters, therefore Cyber Knight Magician Girl gains a total of 1200 ATK and she can attack up to six more times!" Her sword's flame grew bigger as her ATK increased to 4200.
"This may be overkill, but here we go! Cyber Knight Magician Girl, Finale Soul Blaze Cleave!" Yu shouted.
His evolved ace nodded in agreement as she jumped high into the air and sliced down Altergeist Meluseek as it laughed eerily until it screamed in pain.
"Kyyaaaahhh!" Ghost Girl screamed as she fell off her D-Board.
Ghost Girl: 0 LP
Codebreaker WINS!
"Hmph. I guess I can't underestimate you, too, Codebreaker," Ghost Girl said as she accepted defeat.
"Incredible! Wonderful! AMAZING! Codebreaker wins again!" Claire exclaimed.
"Alright! Way to go, Morse!" Tom cheered so loudly that he felt embarrassed when he realized it.
"Sweet! I won!" Codebreaker cheered for himself. "And it's all thanks to you, Cyber Knight Magician Girl."
She bowed her sword to her new owner before she disappeared and go into her card form in his Extra Deck.
The two VR duelist stopped by at the ceiling of a building. They dueled past midnight and the data sunrise was occurring.
"Aah, the sunrise does feel nice," Ghost Girl embraced.
"It really soothes people's mind, doesn't it? Even though it is not real," Rossy stated.
"So, Ghost Girl," Codebreaker said. "Just as you promised. The backdoor program."
"Here you go, kid," she said as she made it appeared in the palm of her hand and transferred to Yu's AI.
"Data is received successfully, Master Yu," Yu said.
"Sweet! With this, we can find out if SOL Tech's data vault holds a key to the Legendary Codes!" Yu said confidently and excitedly.
"Hey, Codebreaker." He looked at Ghost Girl again. "You're not bad. Just don't be reckless and sorry if I said things beyond the line."
"No sweat it! At least you are much kinder in person, whoever you are in IRL," Yu smiled.
You're either very open-minded or that you're just weak to a girl.
"Hey! I am not weak to a girl!" He complained.
Ghost Girl giggled. "Just to let you know one thing before I go. That is just another copy I gave. I also gave one to Playmaker, so you might meet him."
"Wait? You gave one to Playmaker, too?" He asked.
"All will be revealed, kid," she said before she logged-out.
"She logged-out without giving us more information," Rossy said.
"Yeah, but at least the duel was fun and I got a new card!" Yu praised as he checked his new Cyber Knight Magician Girl card.
"Anyway, I recommend to log-out, too, Master Yu," Rossy suggested.
"Yup!" He agreed as he logged-out.
At the Den-O News, Claire and her cameraman partner gathered their boss and co-worker for the footage they got from last night.
"So, you finally found some footage last night, you say?" The boss said strictly, yet doubtfully.
"Yes, sir! And, it's going to be a blast hit, sir!" Claire said determinedly. "Bob, upload the footage!"
"Yes, maim!" Her cameraman partner hooked up the TV camera and began the upload.
However, suddenly the footage stopped and instead of showing the duel that the footage supposed to be, it only showed Ghost Girl lying on a fluffy sofa and posing in a very alluring position.
"Sorry, but this footage is forbidden, and I hacked it to delete it. Have a nice day," she said seductively.
Everyone stared at the then blank screen. Claire, who couldn't believe her eyes, turned her face red as her blood boiled up.
"THAT BI***!"
"Biscuit is ready!" Rossy announced as she made it herself.
"Sweet! I'm starving," Yu said as he munched on the home-made biscuits.
"It looks like this backdoor program you won from Ghost Girl is legit, Morse. With it, we can really access SOL Tech's data vault," Tom said.
"That's good!" He talked over his mouthful of biscuit.
"Hey, Morse…" Tom said.
"Yeah?" He asked as he still was eating.
"Are you sure you want to do this? Not just that it is, well, illegal but that whatever inside the vault could also mean something about your…"
"Bfh! Water!" Yu choked the biscuit.
"Morse, don't eat so fast!" Tom warned, but it was a bit too late for that.
"Here, Master Yu! Glass of water!" Rossy stated.

Hey, guys! Another new update this month and I feel like I am on fire!
I decided that this year I will mainly focus on VRAINS story for my Yu-Gi-Oh fanfiction project (for now), but do not fret! My other Yu-Gi-Oh stories will receive an update, but not as frequently as before.
What did you all think of this chapter and also what do you think of the latest development in the anime series?
In the next chapter, we are moving to the infiltration of SOL Technologies' Data Vault and a familiar character we haven't seen for while will return to save the day! Until then, here is a preview for the next chapter. See you guys later.
Preview for Chapter 21
SOL Technologies' data vault holds all kinds of data and every data known in Link VRAINS! After coincidentally meeting each other, Yu team up with Playmaker and travel through the maze carefully. However, it doesn't mean that SOL Technology Security Manager, Kitamura haven't noticed them!
Kitamura: Why Playmaker and Codebreaker are here!? Well, it doesn't matter. Arrest them! Destroy them! Release the AI Duelist program!
Codebreaker: Awesome! Check it out! A first AI Duelist!
AI: It looks kind of dumb to me.
Rossy: We shouldn't be commenting its look, but plan on how to handle it!
Codebreaker: Don't worry, Rossy! Playmaker and I will handle this! Let's tag duel!
Playmaker: You take the orange while I take the green one. We will take them down individually.
Codebreaker: What? But, it is more fun if we tag-duel!
However, the sly Kitamura summons more than the two VR Duelists can chew on!
AI (moaning): Great. They multiplied!
As they thought they're done for, Blue Angel appears unexpectedly to aid them!
Playmaker, Codebreaker, AI, and Rossy: Blue Angel!
But, even it is hard for her to handle the onslaught of Kitamura's AI Duelists until a knight in shining armor appears!
Codebreaker: Hey, it's!
Next time in Yu-Gi-Oh VRAINS Codes of Secrets, Infiltration!
Playmaker & Codebreaker: Into the VRAINS!
