Chapter 33
Gear of Fate
Two duelists were facing each other in a Speed Duel in VRAINS Den. It was between Hanoi grunt and Silver Wing, one of the Top 10 Charisma Duelist, Number 9 in the rank.
He had two cards in his hand and controlled no monster on the field except one set card. His Life Points were 500.
His opponent had no cards in his hand and only control Cracking Dragon. This guy had 2000 LP.
"You can't beat me!" KoH yelled.
"We'll see about that!" Silver Wing replied. "My turn! Draw!"
He looked at what he drew, making him grin.
"It looks like your time is up, Hanoi!" He stated. "I play the Field Spell, Feather Fiend – Territory Nest!"
The surrounding area changed into what appears to be a green valley with several birds' nest on each side of the cliffs with a shadow of a bird hovering over the land. It briefly appeared but disappeared with the card.
"Then, I normal summon my Feather Fiend – Sniper Sparrow!" A small, cute sparrow descended, but unlike normal and most sparrows, this one wore a military bandana hat, cute military scope lens monocle for the right eye, and a sniper that fits right under its wings.
Feather Fiend – Sniper Sparrow-Level 4, DARK, Winged-Beast/Effect, 1600 ATK, 1200 DEF.
"Now, my field spell's effect activates!" He admitted. "When Feather Fiend monster is Normal or Special Summoned, I can Special Summon one more Feather Fiend from my Deck with its ATK halved and that it cannot attack this turn, and it also must return to my hand during the End Phase if it's still on the field! Descend, Feather Fiend – Deep Dove!"
A beautiful white dove with cute, red eyes flew beside the owner and Sniper Sparrow. It appeared with 600 ATK, but it changed to 300 due to the effect of the field spell.
Feather Fiend – Deep Dove-Level 3, DARK, Winged-Beast/Effect, 600 ATK, 1400 DEF.
"Feather Fiend – Deep Dove's effect!" He continued. "When it is Normal or Special Summoned, I get to Special Summon another Feather Fiend, but this time from a Graveyard! Ascend, Feather Fiend – Strong Swan!"
A Graveyard portal opened up, allowing a fast shadow of a big bird appeared. It was a big, white swan, but its breast was very muscular and it had sharp blue eyes, looking quite menacing for a graceful bird.
Feather Fiend – Strong Swan-Level 4, DARK, Winged-Beast/Effect, 1200 ATK, 1200 DEF.
"At this point, Strong Swan's effect also activates!" He declared. "For every Feather Fiend monsters I control, all of them gains 200 ATK each!"
All of his avian monsters gained a boost of 200 ATK, starting Sniper Sparrow in 2200, Deep Dove 900 ATK, and Strong Swan with 1800 ATK.
"What the hell are you planning? All I see is you're summoning a bunch of stupid birds and boosting their ATK!" KoH grunt exclaimed.
"Don't call my birds stupid," Silver Wing said as he glared at him, causing his opponent to flinch in response. "Ascend! The circuit of the far-reaching heavens!"
A Link Square appeared just above in the sky.
"Arrowheads confirmed! The summoning condition is at 3 Feather Find monsters! I set my three Feather Fiends to the Link Markers!"
His three avian monsters transformed into bronze, white, and blue twisters, sucking into the link arrows.
"Link Summon! Descend! Link 3, Feather Fiend – Fierce Falcon!"
A giant bird came down and out of the virtual clouds in the virtual sky of Link VRAINS. This bird creature was huge, with its wingspan a length of 30 ft. It had sharp green eyes with a single scar over its right eye. Its talon was red while the rest of the body was a mix of red, black, and few white only on the breast area. Its claw feet were yellow but shined like a gold and the claw nails were black. Its beak looked very fearful, ready to pick on smaller monsters as if it can eat it for breakfast.
Feather Fiend – Fierce Falcon-Link 3, DARK, Winged-Beast/Link/Effect, 2400 ATK, Link Arrow: Left, Bottom, Right
"I then play my set card, Call of the Haunted!" He revealed the classic Trap Card. "Ascend again, Feather Fiend – Strong Swan!"
The muscular-looking swan reappeared next to Fierce Falcon's bottom arrow.
"Strong Swan's effect activates again!" Silver Wing declared. "Even though its effect is once per turn, I can still activate it since its previous location was changed!"
Fierce Falcon's body glowed in red color as its ATK increased to 2800.
"Battle! Fierce Falcon will attack your Cracking Dragon!" He yelled.
"Are you really a birdbrain or just blind like a bat?" Hanoi grunt laughed. "Don't you know your Link Monster has lower ATK than my dragon?!"
"I'm aware of that and that is why I activate Fierce Falcon's effect!" He said. "When it battles an opponent's monster, during the Damage Step only, it gains ATK equal to the ATK of Feather Fiend monsters it points to!"
"Wait? What!?" Hanoi grunt gasped.
"It is pointing to Feather Fiend – Strong Swan now! Which means that Fierce Falcon gains 1600 ATK!" His Link Monster let out a battle cry as its ATK increased to 4400 ATK.
"4400 ATK!?" KoH grunt cried.
"Go, Fierce Falcon! Aerial Phoenix Strike!" His ace Link flew up into the sky and then skydived directly at Cracking Dragon with itself burning into flames. It attacked fast like a phoenix, piercing and burning Cracking Dragon.
"Gaaaaah!" Hanoi cried.
KoH Grunt: 2000 – 1400 = 600 LP
"And finally, Strong Swan will attack you directly," Silver Wing said as he winked at the end. "Hasta la vista, baby!"
Strong Swan just tackled simply at the Hanoi, making him fell off from his D-Board.
"Nnnnoooooooo!" He fell but luckily landed in a tree.
KoH Grunt: 0 LP
Silver Wing WINS!
Silver Wing jumped off his D-Board, landing successfully at a top of a rooftop, where two familiar people waited for him.
"That was impressive, Silver Wing!" Blossom Star praised. "I can see why you are in the Top 10."
"Hee, hee!" He rubbed his nose. "Yeah, well, a lot of experience and bit of intuition."
"However, you had a very low LP." Jaune Arc pointed out. "If you were more careful, you wouldn't let your opponent gets the chance. If you did, you would probably be in higher rank by now instead of being at Number 9 still."
"Ah, a piece of cake!" Silver Wing replied. "At least the Hanoi is taken care of!"
He then looked at Blossom Star. "Hey, Blossom Star, why won't you fight the Hanoi with us? You know we're all part of the team…. Well, at least just us three. The others fight on their own term."
Blossom Star's expression changed to one that looked unsure and concerning.
"Well… I should, but I can't," she said.
"Huh? Why not?" He asked.
She looked away and looked at the city.
"I became a Charisma Duelist because it is my dream. To duel for fun, to show a good duel for everyone," she explained. "But, not like this. I am not even sure if it this is completely a right thing to do."
"Sure it is!" Silver Wing exclaimed. "It is our civic duty! Besides, we don't want those Hanoi bullies hurt other people, right?"
"No, of course not!" She agreed. "But…. I just don't know if I can."
Jaune Arc padded her shoulder. "It's alright not to fight if you don't feel capable of doing it. Pretty much Silver Eye, me, and the others can handle it. Plus, Go Onizuka, Blue Angel, and Playmaker are doing their parts as well. If anything, I think we have it pretty much cover, so you don't have to fight."
"Speaking of Playmaker, I can't wait to see him and actually duel him! That's what I'm aiming for!" Silver Wing said excitedly as D-Board reappeared, which by the way looked like a bird, especially a nose was a face of an eagle and the back had a talon wing. "Until then, I'll continue to fight these Hanoi bastards! See you, ladies, later!"
He surfed away as they watched him away.
"I shall aide him now," Jaune Arc said. "You should log out and stay safe. Despite the attack on Hanoi is fairly decreasing, there are still some here and there. Link VRAINS is not completely safe yet."
"Sure and thank you, Jaune Arc," she grinned.
"Just call me Jaune. We're a friend now," Jaune Arc stated as he also went, too, following after Silver Wing.
She waved goodbye at her until she couldn't see them anymore. However, Blossom Star felt a bit sad and sort of helpless.
"I just wonder if what I am doing is also a right thing. I mean… we should all fight. It is for the good of all, but not quite sure. Plus, I didn't admit that the other reason why I don't want to fight," she mumbled to herself before she logged out.
However, little did she know that a sinister person was lurking and spying on her.
The next day, Silver Wing was on a patrol in Link VRAINS, looking for any Hanoi enemies or Playmaker to fight.
"Hmmm, no sign of the Hanoi or Playmaker," he said. "I did fight them a lot yesterday, so maybe all of them are gone now. If so, it is kind of boring now."
As he surged forward, he didn't know that he was being followed.
However, when he noticed that he was being followed, it was already too late for him. Something came behind him, caught him, and everything turned black.
Sakura was just taking a morning shower. Once she got out, her phone was ringing.
"Hmmm, I got a text?" She checked her phone. "Hey, it's from Silver Wing! I wonder what's up."
She read the message. "Meat ME in LINK VRAINS! See ya later, alligator [with emoji sign]."
"He really needs an auto spellchecker," she said. She changed her clothes and got her duel disk ready.
"Into the VRAINS!" She logged in, re-changing her outfit to her VR form.
She went to the location where she will meet Silver Wing, but when she arrived, nobody was around.
"Hey Silver Wing! I am here!" She yelled, but no response. "That's strange. Where is he? I hope it's not a prank or something…"
"Well, well, well. We meet again, Blossom Star!" She startled and looked frantically around.
"What!? Who said that!?" She questioned aloud.
Suddenly, a familiar man appeared in front of her, with unconscious Silver Wing tied up in a strange cyber rope. The man wore a standard Hanoi's white uniform with a mask, but this mask had a gear and only his left eye was bare.
"Doctor Gear!?" She screamed. "What are you doing here and… Silver Wing!?"
"What do you think, Blossom Star? You should know just by looking at what you see now," he said as he smirked.
"Well, let go of him, Doctor Gear!" She demanded. "And, what's with the Hanoi's outfit?"
"I work for them now," he revealed, surprising her. "And I'm here to get my revenge on you!"
"Me!? What did I ever do to you?" She asked.
"Ha, ha, ha!" He laughed. "You really are naïve and forgetful! Well, let me refresh your memory, dear. Ever since you defeated me and taking my place, I lost a lot of my fortunate and my reputation went down the bowl. I became a nobody! I thought my life was over until Master Revolver took me in!"
"You didn't!" She stated.
"Oh, but I did and it's worth it!" He replied. "With the new power I obtained from Master Revolver and his organization, I am much stronger now! But, enough of my backstory and reasoning, how about let's have our rematch? Just you and me, and if you win, I will let your friend go."
Blossom Star wished this was not happening, but she didn't have any other choice.
"OK, Doctor Gear! I will comply, but you promise to keep him safe and bring him back to me after I beat you!" She stated.
"A deal is a deal," Doctor Gear smirked. "Let's begin and for our grand rematch, let's take it up a notch in the world of the winds!"
He used the same data cube that the Hanoi admins used. Some black twisters appeared in the sky. Doctor Gear and Blossom Star rode on their respective D-Board.
Once they began, Claire of Den-O News was patrolling around the city until she noticed them.
"Hey! Was that…Blossom Star and is she going to duel?" Claire said. "Let's follow her! Pronto!"
The AI-controlling helicopter followed her command as it flew to follow the duelists.
The cameraman began rolling the camera.
"Good morning, Den City! This is Claire on Den-O News and we're here live in Link VRAINS where we stumbled upon a Speed Duel that's just getting started and surprisingly, it is Blossom Star, one of the Top Charisma Duelists!"
Everyone in the real world watched. A tall, short-cut dark haired lady who looked boyish stopped at a street and watched the public TV screen.
"No! Blossom Star!" She exclaimed.
"Hey, hey! Look! Is that Blossom Star, the new Charisma Duelist who became one of those Top 10 Charisma Duelists, like Go and Blue Angel? She's dueling against a Hanoi!" Ai pointed as he, Yusaku, and Kusanagi watched the broadcast in the food truck.
Yu, Tom, and Emoti-chan were watching together at a mall, which also had a big TV monitor where people can also watch duels from Link VRAINS.
"What is she up?" Emoti-chan asked.
"She's going to duel a Hanoi!" Tom stated.
"This is gonna be cool! I saw her debut duel on Yu-Tube, but now I can watch her live!" Yu said excitedly.
Aoi watched the duel at her home quietly, Emma watching at her hideout, and Go was with the children at the orphanage as the children there looked very excited.
"Yeah! Blossom Star is going to duel!" One of the girls cheered.
"Can't wait to see!" Said another young girl.
"Go, Blossom Star!" Another cheered.
"You girls sure like Blossom Star, huh?" Go said.
"Yeah! She's pretty and cool, like Blue Angel, but even better!" The girl said.
Go looked at Blossom Star and noticed few things that were perhaps questionable for young children to see, especially what she wore.
"Ummm…. I guess so," he remarked.
"SPEED DUEL!"
Blossom Star (4h) vs. Doctor Gear (4h; Hanoi): 4000 LP
"I shall go first!" Blossom Star began.
"Certainly. I was just going to say ladies first," he said.
"How polite of you…" She replied with a serious expression. "I summon Naturia Antjaw!"
A cute, hard-working ant with wings appeared as it was carrying a big sunflower seed that looked heavy for it to carry.
"Then, I set two cards and end my turn," she finished with two set cards as both disappeared.
Blossom Star (1h): 4000 LP
'I know that he uses Ancient Gear monster and most likely, he's going to try to summon his Ancient Gear Golem, but I wonder what he meant before. New power or something? I better take precaution…' She thought.
"Very well then. Now, I draw!" Doctor Gear drew his card.
"I play the Spell Card in my hand! Mechanical Production!" The revealed card showed a factory that was making all kinds of Machine-Type monster, like Ancient Gear, Cyber Dragon, and others. "With this card, I can Special Summon one Level 8 or lower Machine-Type monster from my hand or Deck!"
"Is he going to summon Ancient Gear Golem already?!" She gasped.
"Not quite, dear," Doctor Gear snickered. "Behold! Witness my new power! Appear! Level 8! Cracking Dragon!"
The familiar machine dragon appeared as it roared, flying over Blossom Star and Antjaw.
"Cracking Dragon!?" She exclaimed. "So, you really did join the Knights of Hanoi!"
"We confirmed that the opponent Blossom Star is facing now is the former Top Charisma Duelist who she defeated in her debut duel couples of weeks ago, Doctor Gear! And it appears to be he is now working with the Hanoi, indication by that he summoned Cracking Dragon, one of the common, strong monsters a Hanoi uses!" Claire announced.
"No way! That creepy doc has a Cracking Dragon!" Ai was surprised.
"Then, Doctor Gear is on Hanoi's side!" Kusanagi stated.
"It looks like so," Yusaku nodded.
"Hanoi!" Jaune Arc in the real world startled and then ran off to somewhere.
She turned around and went into an alley where nobody else can see her. She got her duel disk out and raised her arm up.
"Into the VRAINS!" She logged in.
"Naturia Antjaw's effect activates!" Blossom Star declared. "When my opponent Special Summons a monster, I get to Special Summon a Level 3 or lower Naturia monster from my Deck! Come out, Naturia Beans!"
A group of three beans appeared. One looked excited and strong with busy eyebrow, a second one looked calm and cool, and the third one had teary eyes as it hid inside the pod.
"Cracking Dragon's effect allows it to not be destroyed by battle with a monster whose Level is equal to or lower than Cracking Dragon's Level. As well as you cannot Normal Summon or Special Summon more than one monster if it is on the field," he explained.
"I set two cards and declare to battle!" He exclaimed. "Cracking Dragon attack her Beans!"
Cracking Dragon roared as it goes for a bite attack.
"Naturia Beans' effect activates!" She screamed. "Once per turn, it cannot be destroyed by battle and since it is selected as an attack target, you take 500 points of damage!"
"So for you! Cracking Dragon's additional effect activates!" Doctor Gear stated. "Your Naturia Beans lose ATK equal to its Level by 200 points! Your Naturia Beans is a Level 2 monster, so it loses 400 ATK!"
Beans' ATK reduced to zero as Cracking Dragon chewed it up, but it wasn't destroyed.
Blossom Star protected herself by crossing her arms over her face.
Blossom Star (1H): 4000 – 3000 = 1000 LP
Doctor Gear (2h): 4000 – 500 = 3500 LP
"I end my turn," Doctor Gear finished. "What do you think, Blossom Star? My strength is formidable and there is no way you can defeat me!"
"Argh!" Blossom Star gruntled as she took massive damage from that attack.
"What's the matter? Can you stand?" Doctor Gear snickered.
"I'm just getting warm-up!" She replied. 'He's strong, stronger than before and I already lost so much Life Points! I got to finish this…. fast!'
"My turn! I draw!" Blossom Star continued.
"I summon Naturia Butterfly!" A pink butterfly appeared. "Then, I tune my Level 3 Naturia Butterfly with Level 2 Naturia Beans!"
"Ho, ho! This is familiar!" Doctor Gear chuckled.
"Yeah, just like old times…" Blossom Star remarked. "Synchro Summon! Appear! Level 5! Naturia Beast!"
The green tiger appeared as it roared bravely at Cracking Dragon. The dragon roared back as each exchanged a roar.
"Then, I play the Spell Card, Naturia Miracle!" She added as a giant tree of the rainbow appeared briefly behind her before it faded away. "By targeting your Cracking Dragon, its ATK is reduced by half and Naturia Beast gains half of that ATK!"
Beast's ATK increased to 3700.
"I change Naturia Antjaw to DEF position. Battle! Naturia Beast, attack!" Her Synchro leaped with its fang and claw out at the target.
"He, he! Trap Card opens! Doomsday Machine!" The revealed Trap, which was flipped up, showed a black machine with a cross skull imprinted on it.
"What's that!?" She asked.
"When my opponent declares an attack on the Machine-Type monster, the attack is negated, and your monster is destroyed!"
Cracking Dragon whipped its tail, hitting Naturia Beast into a nearby building.
"Beast!" She cried.
"Then, my Doomsday Machine gain one Doom Counter!" A single counter with skull appeared over the black machine.
"Doom Counter?" Claire said. "I don't know what's he planning, folks, but I have a bad feeling about this!"
"Before I finish my turn, I play the Trap Card, Call of the Haunted, to revive Naturia Beast from my GY!" Her Synchro monster returned in DEF position. "I end my turn."
Blossom Star (0h): 1000 LP
Doctor Gear laughed. "Look at you now! You have no hands and no set cards to protect your monsters! Admit it! You are just scared!"
"I'm not scared! It's normal to play defensively!" Blossom Star argued.
"Yet, you're already cornered the way I see it!" Doctor Gear. "I begin my turn and Doomsday Machine's effect activates again, gaining one Doom Counter during my Standby Phase!"
"He's planning something to do with that Doomsday Machine," Tom pointed out.
"Yeah," Yu agreed. "I wonder what's he up to."
"Whatever it is, I don't think I want to know!" Emoti-chan said.
"Blossom Star!" Blossom Star turned around to her shoulder. Jaune Arc came behind her.
"What a surprise! It is a Jaune Arc, Number 7 Top Charisma Duelist!" Claire gasped. "Is she here to aide her fellow duelist?"
"Jaune Arc?!" Blossom Star gasped.
"Blossom Star, allow me to duel for you in place! This is too dangerous for you!" Jaune Arc ordered.
"But, I can't! If I do, he would break his promise!" She stated.
"Promise? What promise?" Jaune Arc questioned.
"He kidnapped Silver Wing and took him as a hostage, forcing me to duel if I don't!" She explained.
"What!? That foolish old man!" Jaune Arc shot an angry face at her opponent.
"Long time no sees Number 7, Jaune Arc," Doctor Gear greeted. "How are you?"
"Good until you showed up!" She exclaimed. "What do you want!? Why are you on the Hanoi's side?"
"For vengeance, of course! That brat there humiliated me since my loss!" Doctor Gear stated.
"You crazy old fool! Fight me instead!" Jaune Arc yelled.
"No, Jaune!" She stopped her. "Let me continue dueling!"
"But, Blossom Star…!" She looked at Blossom Star, who had determination and seriousness in her eyes. "….Fine, but be careful and I will standby next to you in case something happens."
"Back away, Jaune Arc! This is a duel between me and her only!" He declared.
Jaune Arc growled but kept her posture as she backed away a little.
"Now, where were we? Ah, yes! It is still my turn!" He remembered sarcastically. "I activate the Spell Card, Mechanical Production from my Graveyard!"
"What!? Spell Card activation from the Graveyard!?" She gasped.
"Yes, and you cannot use your Synchro Monster's effect against it!" He stated. "By banishing this card, I can Special Summon a Level 8 or lower Machine-Type monster from my hand, ignoring the summoning condition! Rise, my Ancient Gear Golem!"
The classic machine golem with gears appeared as it roared and stood tall in front of his opponent.
"Yikes! It looks bigger when it is in Speed Duel!" Claire exclaimed.
"Naturia Antjaw's effect activates!" Blossom Star admitted. "Since you, Special Summoned a monster, I get to Special Summon a Naturia Monster! Come out, Naturia Fruitfly!"
A fly that had fruits for body buzzed. "I activate its effect! All your face-up monsters lose 300 ATK and DEF for every face-up Naturia monster I control!" The duel field showed a total of 3 Naturia monsters. "Since there is a total of three, your monsters lose 900 ATK and DEF!"
"So, you did that in order to lessen the damage from Ancient Gear Golem's piercing damage effect. Of course, if you didn't, then you would have lost," he analyzed. "But, your end is inevitable! Battle! Ancient Gear Golem shall attack your Naturia Beast! Ultimate Pound!"
The giant punched the beast.
"Kyaaah!" She screamed.
Blossom Star (0h): 1000 – 400 = 600 LP
"Then, Cracking Dragon will destroy your Antjaw next!" Cracking Dragon roared and bit Antjaw into bits.
"With that, I end my turn," he ended.
Doctor Gear (2h): 3500 LP
"Blossom Star!" Jaune Arc cried.
"Oh no!" Yu exclaimed.
Fortunately, Blossom Star was still on her D-Board as the red parts of her VR form restored itself.
"My revenge is almost complete! In my next turn, I will defeat you, humiliate you, just like you did to me! With Cracking Dragon and Ancient Gear Golem on my side of the field, I am invincible!" He crackled until he turned over to his shoulder. "Since you will lose, let me admit you something. Once your turn ends and when my next turn rolls in, my Trap Card, Doomsday Machine will gain one Doom Counter and then I activate its effect, which if it has three or more Doom Counters, I can destroy it and send it to the Graveyard, then you would take damage equal to the total ATK of all Machine-Type monsters I control on my side of the field."
"Say what!?" They all gasped, including the audiences who were watching the broadcast.
"That would be total of 4200 damages!" Jaune Arc pointed out.
"That's right! It's the perfect plan of revenge! I am already victorious!" Doctor Gear exclaimed as he laughed.
'No, no, no! Is there something I can do!? I can't lose here or else, Silver Wing won't be saved, and I don't know what would happen to me, too! What can I do!?' She thought desperately. 'I didn't want this happen. This is the reason why I don't like to duel for fighting!'
As she thought to herself, she didn't hear anything around her, but only think about the past duels she saw, which showed Playmaker, Codebreaker, Cyber Man, Blue Angel, Go, and the Top Charisma Duelists.
'No…I got to fight, but not because to destroy the Hanoi, but to save my friend and myself!' She said as she opened her eyes.
"I!" She put her finger on the top of her Deck. "Draw!"
She performed her Destiny Draw. Everyone didn't say a word as they waited for what would happen next. Blossom Star flipped the card she drew.
"Yes, oh yes!" She exclaimed. "Skill activates! Natural Harmony!"
"A Skill?" Doctor Gear thought aloud.
"If I drew a Naturia Monster Card and it is the only card in my hand, I can Special Summon it from my hand! Go, Naturia Cliff!"
A blockhead monster with a red moss growing on the top of its head appeared.
"Then, the Special Summoned Naturia monster gains ATK equal to the total ATK of all Naturia monsters I have in my Graveyard!" Blossom Star continued. "I have Beast, Antjaw, and Beans in my GY!"
"Therefore, Cliff gains 2700 ATK!" Claire added as the said monster roared with aura and grew bigger to the same height as Ancient Gear Golem.
"4200 ATK!?" Doctor Gear showed a bit of fear in his eyes and he was completely surprised.
"Then, I activate Naturia Fruitfly's effect!" She continued. "Once per turn, I can take control of one monster from your side of the field with 0 DEF! I take Cracking Dragon!"
"What!? No!" He cried as his Cracking Dragon disappeared and then reappeared on Blossom Star's side.
"Battle! Cracking Dragon attack your Ancient Gear Golem!" Cracking Dragon roared as it headbutts straight to the Golem, causing an explosion.
"Grrrrrraaaah!" He cried as he took damage.
Doctor Gear: 3500 – 900 = 2600 LP
"Then, my powered-up Naturia Cliff will attack you directly! Go, Cliff! Pummel Down!" Cliff roared loudly as it stumped over to Doctor Gear and its shadow loomed over him.
"No! This can't be! I can't lose again! Have I miscalculated! Nooooooooooooooo!" Cliff dropped down on him, smashing him like a pancake.
Doctor Gear: 0 LP
Blossom Star WINS!
The audiences were silent for a moment as Cliff then got up, revealing Doctor Gear got pancaked until his form returned to normal as he looked dazed. The audiences cheered.
"Yay! Blossom Star wins!" The children cheered at the orphanage as Go fist-bumped.
"Yeah! Way to go, Blossom Star!" Yu blew a whistle with two of his fingers.
They stopped at the rooftop.
"Now, like you promised, release Silver Wing!" Jaune Arc ordered.
Doctor Gear pressed something on his screen as Silver Wing was released.
"Silver Wing!" Blossom Star grabbed him as he laid safely on her chest. "Are you OK?"
"Curses….Curse you all!" Doctor Gear moaned. "I made miscalculation today, but next time, I make no mistakes! I will have my revenge!"
He logged out quickly.
"He got away!" Jaune Arc stated.
"Let him go, Jaune. At least now, it is over," Blossom Star said.
Meanwhile, Yu was pumped and cheered.
"Man, that was fun to watch! I feel like dueling!" Yu stated.
"You always feel that way," Emoti-chan stated.
"Master Yu, Master Yu!" Rossy beeped.
Rossy then came out in her robot form.
"What's up, Rossy?" He asked.
"The deciphering program is 100% completed. The location of the first Legendary Code is found!"

Hey, folks! This a quick update and we got some character development for Blossom Star. What do you think about it?
Also, I would like to introduce the new Archetype by Crow38, Feather Fiend! They are Winged-Beast monsters with some cool effect that support the Archetype itself, but share one common flaw, which is that it must return to your hand at the End Phase of the turn you summoned it. What do you guys also think about this Archetype? Thank you to Crow38 for the Archetype, including the OC Silver Wing. I hope you enjoyed his duel debut in my story.
On the other note, the biggest video game convention of the year, E3 2018 is just around the corner, starting tomorrow with EA. What kind of games you are looking forward to see? For me, I am looking forward to specifically Nintendo Stuff, including the brand new Super Smash Bros for Nintendo Switch, which they will livestream an Invitational Tournament event for players to test out the new game on the Nintendo's official YouTube channel and Twitch channel.
With all that said, I will see you guys next week for more new story updates and here is the preview for the next chapter!
