Chapter 22
Angel and Hero
Last time in Yu-Gi-Oh VRAINS Codse of Secrets, Codebreaker infiltrates SOL Technology's private data server to its data vault, which he and Tom believe that a data about the Legendary Codes are stored in there, according to Ghost Girl's claim.
Using the copy of the backdoor program, they infiltrate into the SOL Tech's private network when they met Playmaker, but the security alarm went off. Kitamura, noticing them, ordered his workers to activate his latest Prototype Ai duelist soldier programs to eliminate them. However, Blue Angel and Cyber Man came to their help, but the group has separated.
The battle for the SOL Tech's data vault begins!
Codebreaker surfed on the wind of the Data Storm in the separate path. Prototype Ai-B was just behind him.
"I hope Playmaker, Blue Angel, and Cyber Man or Tom are safe," Codebreaker said with a bit of worry. "Especially Tom. I wonder why he showed up."
"Perhaps, he sensed you would be in danger," Rossy hypothesized.
"Maybe. Even though I feel little worry for him, I'm happy that he's being a little bit braver," Codebreaker approved before he turned to his opponent. "So, how about let's begin the duel?"
"Sir, Prototype Ai-B is ready to engage," said one of the agents.
"Good! Then, do it and eliminate him! Eliminate all intruders!" Kitamura ordered as he sweated, too, looking a bit nervous.
"Yes, sir!" They obeyed.
"SPEED DUEL!" Codebreaker and Ai-B exclaimed.
Codebreaker vs. Prototype Ai-B
Codebreaker (4h): 4000 LP
Prototype Ai-B (4h): 4000 LP
"I'll go first!" Codebreaker declared.
-Yu-Gi-Oh VRAINS Codes of Secrets-
Meanwhile, Playmaker was in pursuit of the opponent he was facing.
"It looks like we got separated from the gang!" Ai bleated.
"It doesn't matter. They'll be fine," Playmaker said. "Right now, we had to deal with this thing and move on to the data bank!"
"SPEED DUEL!" The duel between Playmaker and Prototype Ai-A also began.
-Yu-Gi-Oh VRAINS Codes of Secrets-
Blue Angel, partnered with Cyber Man, was ready to fight as well.
"Hey, Cyber Man!" Blue Angel shouted to him. "I don't know your deal is, but if you're gonna help, then just don't get in my way, okay?"
"No problem, Miss Blue Angel. I respect you as a fellow Duelist and to be quite frank, it would be honored to fight alongside you," Cyber Man responded. "However, I cannot allow a lady to fight alone!"
"Well, OK. Whatever," Blue Angel avowed. "Ready to fight us, gentlemen Ai?"
"SPEED DUEL!" Both tag teams were ready to duel in the first ever tag-team Speed Duel.
Blue Angel & Cyber Man vs. Team Prototype Ai (C & D): 4000 LPs for each duelist.
In this style of a duel, rules are bit different from regular or normal Speed Duel. In tag-team style, the duelist and his or her respective partner share the field with five Main Monster Zones and five Spell/Trap Zones, and two Extra Monster Zones. All duelists start with 4 cards in their hand and the first duelist cannot allow to draw on the first turn.
"Lady goes first!" Blue Angel winked as she began the first turn. "First, I play the Field Spell, Trickstar Light Stage!"
"Now, I activate its effect! I can add 1 Trickstar monster from my deck and I add Trickstar Lilybell." One card popped out from her deck as she picked it. "And, since she is drawn other than the Draw Phase, I can Special Summon her from my hand! Come out, Lilybell!"
The pink pig-tailed Trickstar with a big bell for her weapon appeared as she cheered happily with her bell.
"Next, I normal summon Trickstar Candina to the field!" A blond hair Trickstar appeared next to Lilybell. "Then, I activate Candina's effect! As she was Normal Summoned, I can add 1 Trickstar card from my Deck to my hand!"
She added another card, adding up to a total of 4. "Come out, the circuit of dreams and hope!"
"So, she's planning to summon her ace on her first turn," Cyber Man thought.
"Ho, Link Summon during her first turn I see," Kigen said to himself out loud.
"What is Zaizen's sister planning to do?" Kitamura questioned.
"The summoning condition is 2 Trickstar monsters. I set my Trickstar Lilybell and Candina to the Link Markers!" Her two Trickstar girls turned into pink and yellow twisters, swallowing into the arrows. "Circuit combines! Link Summon! Appear, Link 2! Trickstar Holly Angel!"
Her ace monster appeared in her glorious entrance.
"Nice job, Blue Angel!" Cyber Man exclaimed.
Blue Angel nodded to her partner as thanks. "And, now I play the Spell Card, Trickstar Vision! This card allows me to Special Summon 1 Trickstar monster from my hand, with its ATK halved and its effect negated! I Special Summon Trickstar Narkissus!"
A light-skinned Trickstar in black and green dress and white boots appeared next to Holly Angel's link.
"Then, each player draws a card." Everyone drew a card.
"Then, I activate the effect of Trickstar Lycoris' effect from my hand!" She revealed the said monster. "By returning Narkissus to my hand, I can Special Summon Lycoris from my hand!"
Narkissus turned into sparkles and as soon as she disappeared, Lycoris appeared in her place.
"And now, Holly Angel's effect activates!" Blue Angel announced. "As Trickstar monster was Special Summoned next to her link, she deals 200 damages to your Life Points. I choose you, Mr. Blue One (which was Prototype Ai-C)!"
Holy Angel sting the Ai with a short laser beam, draining its Life Points down.
Prototype Ai-C (5): 4000-200=3800 LP
"And, since you took an effect damage from my Trickstar monster, Trickstar Light Stage deals 200 additional damages!" Light Stage briefly reappeared and shot a powerful blast at Prototype Ai-C.
Prototype Ai-C (5): 3600 LP
"But, I am not over yet! I activate my Trickstar Narkissus'effect from my hand!" Blue Angel continued. "As you took an effect damage, Mr. Blue, I get to Special Summon her back from my hand!"
The light-skinned Trickstar reappeared next to Lycoris as she giggled cheerfully for her return.
"Impressive, Blue Angel! Your combo has done a good few damages to our opponent!" Cyber Man impressed.
"Yeah!" She posed with a wink and peace sign.
"I draw!" Prototype Ai-C drew a card, adding to a total of six in its hand.
Prototype Ai-C: 6H
"At this point, Trickstar Lycoris' effect activates! Since you just draw a card, she deals 200 points of damage!" Lycoris shot a pink laser beam at the opponent's chest, giving a bit of static, but it didn't look bothered at all.
Prototype Ai-C (6): 3400 LP
"Due to that you took damage caused by my Trickstar monster, Holly Angel gains 200 ATK until the end of this turn!" Her ace's ATK increased to 2200.
"And, since it took an effect damage, the Field Spell, Trickstar Light Stage deals 200 more!" Cyber Man added.
Prototype Ai-C (6): 3200
"Curse you, Zaizen's sister. Keep stinging my Prototype Ai," Kitamura hissed.
"But, I got to say. Her Trickstar Deck is formidable when it comes to effect damage combo," Kigen said. "I wonder what's going to happen next. How exciting!"
At least someone from SOL Tech is enjoying the duel.
"I play the Continuous Spell, Abyss Invitation." A Spell Card showed misty purple hands coming out of a sea trench underwater. "
"I activate the effect of Tentacluster Darkwhip in my hand. I pay 500 Life Points to Special Summon it from my hand." A pill-bug-like creature appeared on its field.
"Tee, hee! Guess again, Mr. Blue. You take 200 damages by the effect of Trickstar Narkissus due to that you Special Summoned a monster," Blue Angel admitted as her monster shot a laser sting at the opponent.
Prototype Ai-C (4): 3200 - 500 – 200 = 2500
"As the player gains 500 or less damage, Abyss Invitation deals 200 damages to the opponent!" Prototype Ai-C stated its Spell dealt some damages to Blue Angel's LP.
Blue Angel (4): 3800 LP
"Blue Angel, are you alright?" Cyber Man asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine,' she assured. "And, Mr. Blue, you also take 200 more damages because of Trickstar Light Stage's effect!"
Prototype Ai-C (4): 2300
"And also, my ace gains 200 more ATK!" She reminded her opponent as her ace monster's ATK increased to 2400.
"Abyss Invitation's effect activates again! You take another 200 damages!"
Blue Angel (4): 3600
"I then play the Spell Card, Machine Duplication." It showed a spell that showed assembly line of robots being made in a factory.
"When this card is activated, I can target 1 Machine-Type monster I control with 500 or less ATK, then Special Summon up to 2 monsters from the Deck with the same name as that monster," Ai-C explained.
"I target Tentacluster Darkwhip on my field to Special Summon two more Tentacluser Darkwhips!" Two more of the same monster appeared side by side on the field.
"Ha, ha! Now, witness the power of my Ai soldier!" Kitamura declared, more cheerful and confident than a few moments ago.
"You're peppy now," Kigen commented.
"Circuit opens!" The Link Square appeared just above the Ai. "The summoning condition is 3 Tentacluster monsters! I set my three Tentacluser Darkwhips to the link markers!"
The three pill-bug machines turned into three purple twisters before they all sucked into the link markers.
"Circuit combines! Link Summon initiate! Link 3! Tentacluster Sea Scorpion!"
A new never-before-seen Tentacluser Link monster appeared. This one was huge in length. It looked very insect-like, with long, armored claws and big stinger for its tail, like a scorpion, but also its tail was like a lobster's tail. Its color was dark red with two, big purple beady eyes. Its mouth had a sharp, black mandible that looked like it could cut woods in half. This monster was based on prehistoric sea scorpion.
Tentacluster Sea Scorpion-Link 3, DARK, Machine/Link/Effect, 2000 ATK, Link Marker: Left, Right, Bottom.
"Eeww! I hate bugs," Blue Angel disgusted.
"It does look deadly," Cyber Man said. "Be careful, Blue Angel! It probably has an evil effect!"
"Hee, hee, hee." Kitamura snickered maliciously. "Oh, they have no idea."
"Tentacluster Sea Scorpion's effect activates!" Prototype Ai-C declared. "If there is a Link Monster next to its link, that monster is destroyed and sent to the Graveyard!"
"Say what?!" Blue Angel gasped.
"No way!" Cyber Man exclaimed.
"Predator's Pinch!" The Tentacluser Link monster used its pincher to crush Holly Angel as she screamed in horror, turning into sparkles and then disappeared from the field.
"Once that monster is destroyed, the opponent takes 1000 damages!" Tentacluster Sea Scorpion used its stringer to strike at Blue Angel.
"Watch out!" Cyber Man protected Blue Angel, taking the damage instead.
"Gaaaaaahh!" Cyber Man screamed in pain.
Cyber Man (5h): 4000 – 1000 = 3000 LP
"That damage is supposed to be for Zaizen's sister!" Kitamura complained.
"Hey, I told you to not get in my way!" Blue Angel scolded.
"Sorry, but I cannot allow a lady to get hurt on my watch," Cyber Man said as he kneeled on his D-Board while still surfing.
"You…" She looked at him with a tint of guilt.
"Battle!" Their opponent continued with its turn. "Tentacluster Sea Scorpion attack your Trickstar Narkissus!"
The Link scorpion reached out to its target with its deadly claw attack.
Cyber Man quickly got back up despite the lingering pain before. "Not so fast! I activate Cipher HERO Firewall-Man's effect on my hand!"
Suddenly, a man in red hero costume appeared with the traditional Cipher HERO symbol on his utility belt appeared. He transformed quickly into a literal firewall, blocking Sea Scorpion's attack and keeping Trickstar Lycoris safe.
Cipher HERO Firewall-Man-Level 5, FIRE, Warrior/Effect, 2200 ATK, 2500 DEF.
"What's that?" Blue Angel asked surprisingly.
"When my opponent's monster declares an attack, by reducing Firewall-Man's ATK to zero, I can negate that attack and Special Summon him to the field," Cyber Man explained.
"I end my turn," Prototype Ai-C finished.
Prototype Ai-C (3): 2300
"Now that ends your turn, it is time for a counterattack!" Cyber Man exclaimed. "I draw!"
Cyber Man: 4 + 1 = 5h
"Argh!" Cyber Man cringed in pain as he still was feeling the damage from the last turn.
"Hey, are you still hurt from that attack?" Blue Angel asked.
Cyber Man looked at her and just grinned. "No worry, Miss Blue Angel! I, Cyber Man, won't stand down even if I am in pain! Until justice prevails, I won't stay down and rest!"
Blue Angel looked at him with a worrying expression. She felt bad that he got hurt despite that he was only helping her.
"I normal summon Cipher HERO Capt. Marvis!" A dark-skinned female hero appeared to join the battle. "I set two cards and now, it's battle time! I declare Capt. Marvis to attack your Tentacluser Sea Scorpion!"
"What!? That's reckless! Your monster would be destroyed!" Blue Angel warned him.
"Not quite, Miss Blue Angel!" He responded. "Due to Cipher HERO Capt. Marvis' effect, when she battles a monster with higher ATK than her, her ATK is increased by 600 points for every Cipher HERO monsters I control on the field. Since there are two right now, she gains a total of 1200 ATK! Power Absorb!"
Capt. Marvis glowed in bright flame like a phoenix, piercing and burning through the terrible Tentacluser Link monster. It burned into crisps.
Prototype Ai-C: 2100 LP
"That would do for now," Cyber Man said, ending his turn.
Cyber Man (4h): 3000 LP
"Prototype Ai-C's LP has lost almost 50% of its Life Points!" One of the agents exclaimed.
"Keep going!" Kitamura said. "It doesn't matter, anyway. This is where the fun truly begins."
"My turn. I draw." Prototype Ai-D drew its card.
Prototype Ai-D(6h): 4000 LP
"Due to that you drew a card, Trickstar Lycoris will deal 200 points of damage to you!" Blue Angel exclaimed as her monster shot a pink laser beam.
"Then, Light Stage also deals 200 more damages!" The field spell shot another ray of light to the opponent.
Prototype Ai-D: 4000 – 200 – 200 = 3600 LP
"I play the Spell Card, Monster Reborn!" The classic Normal Spell presented. "With this card, I can Special Summon one monster from any player's Graveyard. I resurrect Tentacluser Sea Scorpion!"
The deadly Link monster returned to the field with an unsettling cry.
"So, it returns to get revenge…" Cyber Man mumbled.
"By paying 500 LP, I Special Summon Tentacluser Darkwhip from my hand!" The familiar pill-bug appeared again. "Next, I play the Spell Card, Machine Duplication from my hand!"
"It's doing the same combo just like Mr. Blue!" Blue Angel stated. "But, just like your partner, you take 200 damages by my Trickstar Narkissus plus effect damage by Light Stage."
Prototype Ai-D: 3600 – 200 – 200 = 3200
"By targeting one Machine monster with 500 or less ATK, I can Special Summon up to two copies of that monster! I Special Summon two Tentacluster Darkwhips!" Prototype Ai-D continued, ignoring the effect damages it gained.
"Circuit opens!" The Link Square appeared above it. "The summoning condition is at least 2 Tentacluser monsters. I set all three Tentacluser Darkwhips to the link markers! The circuit combines!"
The three said monsters turned into three purple twisters, absorbing into the link arrows on the circuit board. "Link Summon initiate! Appear! Link 3! Tentacluster Bigjaw!"
Suddenly, something big was swimming inside the Data Storm. A single dorsal fin appeared, like what a shark would do in the sea. It jumped out, revealing its true form. It was a giant, light blue shark with rows of sharp razor teeth and glowing red eyes. It had a scar shaped of "X" on the front of the face, and two turbines attached on the fins.
Tentacluser Bigjaw-Link 3, DARK, Machine/Link/Effect, 2400 ATK. Link Markers: Up, Left, Right.
"Another Tentacluster monster?" Blue Angel thought aloud. "And, this one is a giant shark!"
"Tentacluster Bigjaw's effect activates!" Prototype Ai-D declared. "When this monster is co-linked with another Tentacluster monster, it gains ATK equal to that monster's ATK until the end of this turn!"
"Say what!?" Both Blue Angel and Cyber Man gasped as a blue aura glowed around Bigjaw, bringing its ATK up to 4400.
"Battle! Bigjaw will attack Cipher HERO Firewall-Man!" The giant shark roared as it swam around before it chewed down on the hero.
"Wait? Why would it waste the attack on a defense-positioned monster?" Blue Angel asked.
"Unless…" Cyber Man spoke up.
"Tentacluster Bigjaw's additional effect activates! When this monster destroys a monster in DEF position, it deals piercing damage!" Prototype Ai-D admitted as its monster bite off Firewall-Man into bits.
Cyber Man shielded Blue Angel as he got attacked. At the same time, Bigjaw swam very near above them, showing off its physic after eating its target.
Cyber Man: 1100 LP
"Then, Tentacluster Sea Scorpion attack your Cipher HERO Capt. Marvis!" The second Tentacluster Link strike with its pinch, cutting her in half as she screamed.
"Grrrrrrgh!" Cyber Man agonized in pain.
Cyber Man: 700 LP
"Hah, hah, ha! Kick that!" Kitamura called.
Cyber Man panted. "Are you OK, Miss Blue Angel?"
"You…why are you doing this?" She asked.
"What do you mean, Miss Blue Angel?" He asked.
"Why are you protecting me? You don't even know me, and I don't know you, and yet… you seem to always stand beside me, keeping me safe! Why would you let yourself do that? Can't you see I can take care of myself?!"
Cyber Man closed his eyes and looked the other way. "I know you can, Blue Angel, but just like you, I was a weak person, too."
"What?" She said.
"Just like you, I was…manipulated by the Knights of Hanoi due to my own weakness. After knowing what happened to you, I realized that even the strong Charisma Duelist can fall into the hands of evil and does evil things. I…I felt ashamed for that. Not knowing my own weakness and claiming I am a pure warrior of justice. I…still do not know why I am even here, right now, dueling and aiding you. Perhaps, just like you, I am selfish and only wanted to get stronger."
"Cyber Man…" Blue Angel lamented.
"But, whatever the situation or reason, the one thing clear is I don't want to get others hurt ever again! That is why I continue to be Cyber Man, and become much braver, both here and in the real world!" He exclaimed.
"Pfff! What's he blabbering about? Become much braver? He's just delusional," Kitamura said mockingly.
"And, this is how I get stronger! Trap card activates!" His set card flipped up, revealing Cipher HERO Speedy Download in hurt grabbing an aid of hand by Elemental HERO Avian in the middle of rubbles at a destroyed city. "HERO Aid!"
"What's this?" Kitamura asked.
"Hooo!" Kigan looked interested.
"When a HERO monster I control is destroyed by battle, I can Special Summon a new HERO monster from my hand or Deck with its effect negated! I Special Summon…. Elemental HERO Avian!"
Suddenly, gusts of winds howled in the middle of the field when the good ol' Elemental HERO of the wind appeared for the first time since the era of GX.
"Ha, ha, ha! A Normal Monster? What's the point of that!" Kitamura laughed.
"Next up, I activate my second Trap card! Sacrifice to the Deity!" The second Trap showed some goblins offering sacrifice of Baby Dragon's corpse to a statue of a god.
"By releasing a Normal Monster from my side of the field, I can either protect one monster from being destroyed by battle or card effect or Special Summon a monster from the Graveyard! I choose the latter and I bring back the one and only… Trickstar Holly Angel!"
"What!?" Blue Angel gasped.
Avian disappeared in flashlight before it replaced by Holly Angel.
"Impossible!" Kitamura surprised, too.
"It's all up to you now, Blue Angel," Cyber Man said as he gave her a thumb up.
"Cyber Man…" She said before she smiled. "Thank you."
"OK, Mr. Blue and Mr. Yellow!" She said with her cute, idol-like act. "It's time for you to go away! Here I go!"
She drew her card. "I play the Spell Card, Trickstar Gift!" The said Spell showed Trickstar Narkissus, Lilybell, and Lycoris giving a gift to unknown male figures in POV perspective, each with a blushed face.
"When this card is activated, I get to draw a number of cards equal to the number of Trickstar monsters I control on the field. I draw three since I control three," she explained as she drew three cards.
"Then, I equip Holly Angel with Trickstar Miracle Wand!" Holly Angel now wielded a pink and gold wand with a star for the head and it had angel wings.
"With that, it's battle!" She winked as a ray of hearts appeared. "Holly Angel attack your Tentacluster Bigjaw!"
"Huh? But, it has a higher ATK!" Kitamura pointed out.
"Most likely, that Equip Spell would…" Kigen said.
"At this point, the effect of Trickstar Miracle Wand activates! When a Trickstar monster equipped with this card declares to attack, its target is destroyed, and you take damage equal to that monster's ATK by half! Miracle Blast!"
Bigjaw was obliterated with just a tap by the wand.
Prototype Ai-D: 2000
"Since Holly Angel inflicts damage to you, you gain 200 additional damage by the effect of Light Stage!" She reminded.
Prototype Ai-D: 1800
"Abyss Invitation deals 200 damage to your Life Points!" Prototype Ai-C stated.
"Sure thing! I can take a minor damage," she accepted.
Blue Angel: 3400 LP
"Continuing on, Trickstar Miracle Wand's additional effect activates!" She declared. "If the equipped monster destroyed a monster successfully, it can attack again, and this card effect is resolved each time until there is no more monster to attack!"
"Naaaaaaaannnniiii!" Kitamura cried.
"Go, Holly Angel! Finale Miracle Blasts!" Holly Angel used her wand to commit a powerful magic attack. Tentacluster Sea Scorpion was destroyed completely.
Prototype Ai-C: 1100 LP
"And look at the field now. It's all clean up, with no creepy bug or stinky fish. You guys are wide open," Blue Angel said. "I declare Lycoris and Narkissus to direct attack both of you guys' LP!"
Lycoris and Narkissus winked together before they unleashed a powerful attack on both AI.
"And remember that the effect of Trickstar Light Stage deals 200 more damages each time my Trickstar inflicts damages to you both!"
The field spell caused the AI soldiers flipped over from their D-Board and deleted into blue bits.
Prototype Ai-C: 1100 – 1000 – 200 = 0 LP
Prototype Ai-D: 1800 – 1600 – 200 = 0 LP
Blue Angel and Cyber Man WINS!
"No encores, please!" Blue Angel winked for victory.
"Hooray! We won!" Cyber Man cheered heroically.
"Hey...Cyber Man." He turned to Blue Angel, who was grinning to him. "Thank you."
"Oh!" He responded with a tint of redness. "No problem, Miss Blue Angel! Just, ah, doing my duty, that's all! Ha, ha, ha!"
Kitamura stared with his mouth wide opened, sweating a lot, too.
"Oh, my. It appears that Prototype Ai-C and D are eliminated. How unfortunate," Kigen said very casually. "Say, how are the other Prototypes, Ai-A and B doing?"
"Prototype Ai-A just been eliminated by Playmaker, sir!" announced one of the agents.
"What?" Kitamura asked.
"Sir, Prototype Ai-B has just been eliminated by Codebreaker as well. All Prototypes are done!" said a female agent.
"No, my position…" Kitamura mumbled depressingly.
"Also, we detected an unknown intruder!" Another agent said.
"What do you mean by 'unknown' intruder?" Kigen asked.
"We do not know, sir! The moment Codebreaker defeated Prototype Ai-B, we lost visual on him!" said the agent.
"Hmmm, that's strange, but what about Playmaker?"
"Playmaker has just entered the data vault, and…it seems to be that former Chief, Akira Zaizen is in the data vault, too!"
"What!? Zaizen is in the data vault, too?" Kitamura shocked.
"Well, well. This became more interesting. Tonight is full of surprises now," Kigen said. "I guess your Ai soldiers need a bit more tests, Kitamura-san."
"Shut up! I don't want to hear this anymore! Stop what you're all doing and transfer all footages to my office, pronto!" He ordered.
"Um, yes sir!" the agents obeyed as Kitamura stormed out of the control center.
Kigen also left and headed back to his office at his department floor. He went to the nearby elevator and press the down button to the BF2.
"What a great development I witnessed. Luckily, even without the footages, I can still see everything in this company. After all, I am a hacker myself, too," he thought as he pulled out his watch.
He pressed a button and suddenly holographic screen appeared, showing all the events that were currently going on in SOL Tech's private server and the data vault.
"Oh, so Codebreaker is facing that duelist, I see," he said as he smirked.

Woohoo! I worked on this chapter for about close to 5 or 6 six hours yesterday!
Overall, I think this is one of the most enjoyable chapters to write about. I really enjoyed writing this as well as reading it. This chapter is based of episode 17, "Flawless AI", but though I begin the duel with Blue Angel the same from the anime, I made it different at the end with my OC, Cyber Man involved. Also, I decided to make the "Tentacluster" Archetype more interesting with new cards. There will be more new ones in the next chapter and maybe in the future chapters, too.
Also, thank you for the submissions so far. I am not sure if I mentioned it, but if I forgot, then I will say it here; for the character's name, please add both his/her real name and VR username please.
Here is a QOTC for this chapter:
Q. What do you think the relationship between Blue Angel and Cyber Man? Also, would you like to see the character from the anime to tag-duel with my OC later sometimes in future chapter, just like this chapter?
With all that said, I will see you guys again and here is a preview for the next chapter. See you guys soon!
Preview for Chapter 23
Kitamura's AI Duelist pushes Yu to his limit. Nonetheless, he still quite enthusiastic in the duel. However, that may change when his next opponent arrives at the most unexpected time!
Codebreaker: Woohoo! I win!
Rossy: Master Yu, I detect another duelist approaching our way!
Codebreaker: Oh? Is it another AI Duelist? Whowever programmed it, it sure is a good for training!
(A familiar dark armored figure showed himself, surfing beside Codebreaker).
Dark Knight: We have meet again, Codebreaker.
Codebreaker: ... For an AI, you're weird looking.
Rossy: Master Yu, that is not an AI! The duelist is an actual user!
Dark Knight: Funny. I came here to finally test your strength and the worthiness. Now...come at me!
Next time in Yu-Gi-Oh VRAINS Codes of Secrets, Victory Yet Never-Ending Fight!
Codebreaker/Playmaker: INTO THE VRAINS!
