Chapter 36
Tower of Hanoi
"I can't believe it…. I lost…. despite seeing my vision of you losing the duel," Miss Arcana mumbled.
"Hey!" She looked up to see Codebreaker offering a handshake. "That was a good duel. You really had me cornered, but you did well. Thank you and let's duel again, someday."
She looked at him straight in his eyes and gasped as if she saw something.
"I see. My prediction was a bit off, but I finally can see now…" She whispered.
He looked at her confused.
"Yes, now I understand. I wasn't the one who meant to defeat you. Someone else will… In the future!" She stated.
"Umm…Are you alright?" He asked.
She chuckled. "I'm fine. I just finally understand where I made my mistake in my vision. Soon, Codebreaker, you will see! A shocking truth will reveal before you in the near future! That's all I can say to you, so be aware."
She immediately logged out, leaving him and Rossy with concerned, troubling look.
"What did she mean by that?" He asked.
"I…I'm not quite sure. Cannot calculate without enough information," said Rossy.
"Well, anyway, let's go back home, Rossy," he decided.
"Yes, Master!" She and her master logged out.
Back in the real world, Tom and Yu analyzed the Legendary Code, the first of the six they ever got. Emoti-chan stayed and watched as they worked and scanned the code.
"Amazing!" Tom exclaimed. "This is by the far the most interesting, yet most complicated code I ever have seen!"
"I know right!" Yu agreed. "I mean! Look at this algorithm!"
Emoti-chan looked at the monitor with all kinds of data showing but couldn't understand a thing.
"OK. I've taken some programming classes and saw a lot of codes, but what the heck am I even looking at?" She questioned honestly.
"I have no idea," Tom said. "This Legendary Code is the first time…no rather, we are the first people who ever see it, little know found it! It's like finding Atlantis or the Holy Grail! This is the world's most amazing thing ever! I mean, even this computer that I built with my own hand couldn't even calculate it or even decode it!"
"My dad said a long time ago that Legendary Codes are so mysterious that as if the codes have a mind of its own," Yu stated.
"So wait…mind of its own? Are you saying the Legendary Codes are like an AI?" Emoti-chan said.
"An AI?! Though we cannot prove that, by looking at how the code now, it is indeed somehow…working on its own, so perhaps it is kind of like an AI," Tom claimed.
"Well, now we got the first code, let's work on this all night! Want to join, Emoti-chan?" He asked as he turned to her, but she was already packing her stuff.
"Sorry, boys, but a girl needs her beauty sleep, you know," she disapproved kindly.
"Fair enough," he replied. "See ya later, Emoti-chan!"
"OK. Good night or rather good luck," she said before she left.
-VRAINS Codes of Secrets-
Luckily for Yu and Morse, they worked on the Legendary Codes during the weekends. However, on Sunday afternoon while they were researching and working hard on the obtained Legendary Code, the day of fated destruction began.
VRAINS Den shook like an earthquake in the real when suddenly, a giant red tower rose up from the ground.
"Hey, what is that!?" One of the VRAINS citizens pointed.
Suddenly the surrounding areas where the tower rose up turned into data, crumbling and absorbing into the tower itself. The people felt scared, panicked, and ran away, but some of them turned into data as well.
"This is Den-O News, reporting you all to a news alert!" Claire announced. "A mysterious tower appeared in LINK VRAINS, turning surrounding areas into data and absorbing those data into the tower! Buildings, roads, even the logged-in VRAINS users who were at the perimeter have all turned into data! We do not know what's this tower or where it came from, but we just got recent report-in that SOL Tech has announced an emergency alert, warning all people not to log-in to LINK VRAINS! I repeat nobody should log-in to LINK VRAINS until further notice!"
Everyone watched the news as the tower absorbed everything in the area and all of LINK VRAINS. Everyone was scared, but couples of people couldn't watch and do nothing.
"This is…horrible!" Sakura aka Blossom Star watched the news on her personal TV in her bedroom.
Suddenly, her cell phone rang which surprised her. She looked at it and it was a message from Silver Wing.
"Silver Wing?" She checked her message. "OK."
She put on her Duel Disk on. "INTO THE VRAINS!"
She logged into the VRAINS' main server as her avatar, Blossom Star.
"I know I shouldn't be out here, but I wonder why Silver Wing asks me to come here," she wondered.
"Hey, Blossom Star!" She turned around and saw Silver Wing waving and running to her.
"Silver Wing, I got your message. What's up?" She said.
"Huh?" He looked at her with a raised eyebrow. "I didn't send you a message. You're the one who sent me the text!"
"What? But…I got your message right here!" She showed him the text.
"So, which one of you forced me to come here?" They turned to see a female Charisma Duelist. This person was a tall, long-haired woman with a dark shade of purple with the tips in orange for her hair, and emerald green eyes. Her attire consisted of a small silver jacket, white gloves, blue earring, rouge jumpsuit with uneven sized boots and leggings. Two dark blue butterfly wings attached to her back as well.
"Papilio! Long time no sees!" Silver Wing waved.
'Papilio! She is Number 8 Top Charisma Duelist and one who's above Silver Wing here,' Blossom Star thought.
"I got a message from other Top Charisma, asking me to come here," she said. "So which one of you pulled the prank?"
"Prank?" Silver Wing felt offended. "It's not a prank! Honest!"
"Both Silver Wing and I just logged in after receiving the same message. I got one from Silver Wing, but he says it wasn't from him," Blossom Star explained.
"So, someone outside sent us the messages." A voice spoke. They got spook when they noticed Count Dracula was standing nearby, looking the other way and only showing his backside with the long black cape.
"Well, if Mr. Creepy isn't the one either, then who did?" Silver Wing questioned.
Suddenly, several metal bars popped out of the ground, surrounding them and locking them inside.
"What's this!?" Papilio gasped.
Suddenly, the cage unleashed a shockwave while they were inside.
"Kkyaaaaahh!" Blossom Star screamed as everyone else screamed, too.
They fainted, with Blossom Star barely saw someone's feet. She looked up and though looked blurry, she saw a man with sharp, blond hair in a white cloth as the man smirked.
-VRAINS Codes of Secrets-
Back in the real world, familiar people witnessed the emergence of the mysterious tower.
"The Tower of Hanoi has begun!" Yasaku exclaimed.
"Is this what Ghost Girl warned us about?" Ai asked.
"According to her info, she gave you, that tower is absorbing everything into a data. After every hour passes, a ring completes around it and once a total of six rings completed, it will create an immerse data overflow, so much data that it would destroy LINK VRAINS…no, the entire network world will be destroyed!" Kusanagi stated.
"Then, I will stop it before that happens!" Yusaku got his Duel Disk ready and went into the room.
"Yusaku!" He stopped and turned to his shoulder to see Kusanagi. "This got to be the most dangerous thing and…you would be against what I will say to you now but stopping this tower would be impossible to stop alone! You would need Codebreaker's help!"
"Thanks for the word, but I will be just fine." He went on. "INTO THE VRAINS!"
He logged-in immediately. Kusanagi sighed. "I knew he would say, but Codebreaker…Yu Akira's programming is much better, and his skill could aid this, but anyway…I got to get to work! I need to something on my share before this tower gets completed!"
Meanwhile, Yu and Tom watched the TV, seeing the tower was in the process of absorbing LINK VRAINS.
"Holy Kuriboh!" Tom gasped. "It's absorbing LINK VRAINS and everything around it!"
Yu looked seriously at the screen and then stood up. "Rossy, let's go."
"Um, Master Yu?" Rossy said. "You're aware that it is too dangerous to log-in to LINK VRAINS and like that footage was taken with the man in the white uniform, who's most likely from the Hanoi, warned that whoever log-in, they will end up be vanished!"
"If we don't stop that tower thing, the entire world will be destroyed and…. this may sound selfish of me, but the other Legendary Codes could be gone, too if this doesn't get stopped! And if I do log in, it may be my only chance to meet him," Yu admitted.
"You're referring to Revolver…" Rossy stated. "… Very well, Master Yu."
"Tom…I know it is dangerous, but are you willing to come, too?" He asked.
"Well…. I…." He jittered in fear.
"It's OK. You don't have to force yourself. It's best to stay here," Yu said as Rossy transformed into her Duel Disk mode for him. "If Emoti-chan calls, tell her that I might her tutoring tonight."
"OK…" Tom padded on his shoulder. "You tell her that when you come back."
He grinned. "Yeah! Into the VRAINS!'
Yu logged into the VRAINS Den but appeared at a random place at the Den. In fact, when he realized he was in LINK VRAINS, he noticed he was in the middle of the sky for short second before he fell down.
"Waaaaaahh!" He cried.
Rossy activated one of her programs, summoning Yu's D-Board to catch him.
"Phew! That was close," he sighed. He landed safely on the ground before his D-Board disappeared.
"Master Yu, look up ahead!" They saw the tower looming over ahead. They were far away, but not too far.
"Unfortunately, I can only activate the D-Board for the very short amount of time, so it is ineffective to use it to reach the tower. You can only access there by foot," she said.
"Then, that's what I will do! Playmaker is probably heading there right now and if we find him, then we can also meet Revolver!" He thought aloud.
"Definitely, Master," she agreed. "But, why do you want to see to Revolver?"
"There is…something I want to ask him," he said. "Let's get going!"
"…Yes, Master Y. Let us go then," she complied as he ran straight to the tower.
-VRAINS Codes of Secrets-
Almost five minutes passed since Yu left to LINK VRAINS. Tom was in deep thought, indecisive about what he should do.
"Grrrr!" He gritted. "Morse is doing all he can to not only accomplish his goal but also help everyone else! And what am I doing here?"
"I should log in and help everyone!" He banged the table. "But, me as Cyber Man….that was just a persona. All fake just so I can be brave, like the hero in comics or movies. I can never be a real hero in the real world…"
He looked at his Duel Disk, turning it on and looking at his Cipher HERO Deck.
Then, he finally made his decision.
"INTO THE VRAINS!" He shouted as a blue light surrounded his body.
Cyber Man came out of the log-in portal, skydiving.
"I AM HERE!" He shouted heroically as he successfully landed with his feet on.
"Ouch!" He whispered silently but kept his posture. "Cyber Man is here!"
He looked at the Tower of Hanoi.
"The villain is most likely there! No matter what, I will stop it and save LINK VRAINS!" He stated as he headed there.
"Kyaaah!" He heard a cry.
He looked down to see two people dueling each other and one of them was a familiar person.
"That's…!" Cyber Man noticed and then leaped off the tall building.
"FEAR NOT!" He yelled, catching the people's attention.
"Hey, Yamamoto-senpai! Is that?!" The pigeon asked.
"Don't call my name! And yes, I think I know who it is!" The frog answered.
Cyber Man landed on his feet, ignoring the pain this time.
"Cyber Man!" Blue Angel gasped.
"That's right!" He posed heroically. "The fighter of Justice and symbol of Peace, it is I, Cyber Man!"
Her opponent, Spectre of the Knights of Hanoi, looked and then laughed.
"Well, well, well! Isn't this a surprise? It looks like your shining knight in armor came to rescue you, Blue Angel!" He said sarcastically.
"He's nothing like that to me and I don't need help!" She exclaimed, causing Cyber Man to back-flip himself comedically.
"Fear not, Blue Angel! I'm only here to support you, that's all!" He said.
"What are you doing here, Cyber Man? LINK VRAINS is too dangerous, even for you! You got to log-out now before it's too late!" She warned.
"No, no can do, maim!" He disagreed. "I will never leave this world in perils with a villain at large! I also cannot leave a young woman alone, fighting against a villain such as that man over there!"
He pointed accusingly at Spectre. "Who? Me?" He asked comically.
If this was a sitcom show, people would be laughing right now.
"Cyber Man… You…." She whispered before she looked a bit disgruntled but accepted him. "Fine. You can help, but don't get in my way."
He smiled and gave her a thump up. "OK!"
"You know, you two look so like a couple, to be frank with you," Spectre admitted. "However, two against one is so unfair if you ask me…. but, lucky for me, I also have someone to aide me. Not a night, but a powerful ally from the dark side!"
Suddenly, a familiar male figure appeared and walked over from nowhere, standing next to Spectre.
"Ah! Count Dracule!" Blue Angel shouted as the male figure revealed to be Count Dracule.
'Count Dracule?! He is one of the Top 10 Charisma Duelists! Why is he with the Hanoi?!' Cyber Man thought as he was surprised like her.
"Count Dracule, what are you doing with Spectre?!" She shouted to him.
Count Dracule didn't respond as he only showed with silence.
"Let me tell you both a little secret," Spectre said. "He is now under my control, or rather my master's wonderful, powerful mind-control program."
"What!?" The two heroes gasped.
"Surprised, aren't you both? Today is so many surprises!" Spectre laughed.
"You fiend!" Cyber Man accused. "Why would you do this!?"
"Why? Why not, rather?" He questioned back. "Now that we're even, how about let's continue this duel as now a tag-team duel?"
"Tag-Team Duel?" Blue Angel repeated.
"Yes, both you against me and my ally here, Count Dracule. We share the field with our respective partner, but we keep our own Life Points individually," he proposed.
"Well, fine! We do it your way!" Blue Angel agreed quickly.
"Wait, Blue Angel! We should…" However, it was too late.
"Then, we decided! Let's continue the duel, starting with Cyber Man's turn!" He pointed at him.
"Hey! I should be going first since you finished your last turn and I was going next!" She argued.
"It was him who interrupted the duel, so I think it's fair to give our partner a chance to start at least," Spectre defended. "We will go in a clockwise fashion, so Cyber Man can start and then my partner, Count Dracule comes next. Then me and finally you, Blue Angel."
"It's alright, Blue Angel," he said. "I shall go first!"
"OK, but be careful, Cyber Man! Count Dracule is one of the strongest Charisma Duelists in all of LINK VRAINS and possibly the world! Even I had some troubles dueling him in the past before, with his use of the Vampire Deck!"
"Hey, no spoilers!" Spectre complained like a kid.
"DUEL!"
Blue Angel & Cyber Man vs. Count Dracule & Spectre
Cyber Man (5h): 4000 LP
Count Dracule (5h): 4000 LP
"I shall go first!" Cyber Man declared, first checking the field. 'So that Spectre fellow is using a Link Monster, Sunavalon Dryades and…Trickstar Holly Angel!? I don't know how is that possible, but most likely it is by a card effect he pulled on Blue Angel. Blue Angel currently controls her Trickstar Lycorissica and the Field Spell Card, Trickstar Light Arena.'
"First, by reducing this card's ATK to zero, I can Special Summon it from my hand! Descend! Cipher HERO Dr. Graphics!"
A superhero that looked like a magician with long blue cape and necklace with mystical rune appeared. This one wore a helmet with an interesting light effect of neon color. Its eye glowed in white color without any pupils, gold gloves shined sparkling, and boots were the same color as the gloves.
Cipher HERO Dr. Graphics-Level 5, LIGHT, Spellcaster/Effect, 2000 ATK, 1000 DEF.
"Dr. Graphics' additional effect!" He continued. "If its ATK is different from its original ATK, I can draw a card, but if it is a Spell Card, then I must discard it! I draw!"
"The card I drew…is Polymerization, so I will discard it!" He sent the classic Spell Card to his Graveyard.
"Polymerization? What is he planning to do?" Blue Angel mumbled.
"Hoo…" Spectre watched with some interest presenting in his eyes.
"Since I control a Cipher HERO monster, I can Special Summon Cipher HERO Drive Boy from my hand!" This new Cipher HERO monster was a young male kid in a costume that looked like a hard disk drive for the body and blue mask for the face.
Cipher HERO Drive Boy-Level 2, WIND, Warrior/Effect, 800 ATK, 0 DEF.
"I open the circuit of justice!" A Link Square appeared on the field. "The summoning condition is two HERO monsters! I set my Cipher Heroes to the Link Markers!"
His two HERO monsters transformed into yellow and green twisters, sucking into the top and bottom arrow respectfully.
"Link Summon! Link 2! Xtra HERO Wonder Driver!" A blue Link Hero monster appeared heroically as it posed with a random explosion in the background.
"Cipher HERO Drive Boy's effect activates!" Cyber Man declared. "When he is used for Link Summon of HERO monster, he can be Special Summoned next to that monster's Link! Come back!"
The sidekick hero returned from the graveyard. "Now, Wonder Driver's effect activates! When a HERO monster is Normal or Special Summoned next to its Link, I can target one Polymerization, Fusion Spell, or Quick-Change Spell Card in my Graveyard and set it onto the field! I choose my one and only Polymerization and set it!"
The classic Spell Card appeared in face-down mode. "He's going to Fusion Summon, isn't he?" Blue Angel noticed.
"I re-open the circuit of justice!" The Link Square appeared again.
"What? He's going to Link Summon again?!" She asked.
"Interesting! I wonder what HERO monster you are going to summon next?" Spectre thought aloud as Count Dracule just watched in silence.
"The summoning condition is one HERO effect monster! I set my Cipher HERO Wonder Driver to the Link Marker!" His monster turned into a single green twister, absorbing into the arrow.
"Link Summon! Appear! Link 1! Cipher HERO Algorithman!" A superhero with a bunch of hologram screens surrounding it appeared. This superhero monster wore a white coat, making it look like a scientist. It also wore a hat similar to like what American detective wears in an old black and white movie. Its face was faceless with no ears, nose, or even a mouth except for the Cipher HERO's C symbol.
Cipher HERO Algorithman-Link 1, LIGHT, Warrior/Link/Effect, 1000 ATK. Link Arrow: Right.
"Now, I play my set Polymerization to fuse my two HERO in my hand! Elemental HERO Avian and Elemental HERO Burstinatrix!"
The two classic heroes fused into one, becoming the mighty classic Flame Wingman. "Fusion Summon! Fight all villains with your burning soul of justice! Elemental HERO Flame Wingman!"
The fusion HERO appeared next to Algorithman's right arrow.
"I set a card and then battle! I declare Elemental HERO Flame Wingman to attack Trickstar Holly Angel! Infernal Rage!" Flame Wingman shot a flamethrower from its dragon head hand at the Trickstar, burning her alive into crisps.
Spectre: 2800 – 100 = 2700 LP
"Elemental HERO Flame Wingman's ability activates! When it destroys a monster by battle, he inflicts damage equal to the destroyed monster's ATK!"
Flame Wingman stood in front of Spectre, using its flame to damage him.
"Gaaaaaahhh!" Spectre cried in agony as his Life Points burned away.
Spectre: 2700 – 2000 = 700 LP
"He lowered Spectre's Life below 1000!" Blue Angel gasped, but also looked proud.
"Kick that villain!" Cyber Man shouted.
Spectre didn't look worried. Rather, he was grinning. "Very impressive, Cyber Man! However, you made a dear mistake! I activate Sunavalon Dryades' effect! If I take a battle or effect damage, I can Special Summon Sunvine Link Monster next to the zone it points to! I Special Summon my second Sunvine Healer!"
A green-skinned plant spirit appeared on his side of the field, replacing Holly Angel. "Then, I activate Healer's effect! I gain 300 Life Points per the Link Rating of Sunavalon monster that it points to Healer! Dryades' Link Rating is 3, therefore I regain 900 LPs. Plus I also regain LP equal to the damage I took, thanks to Dyrades' effect!"
The tree monster shook its branches, releasing yellow pollens, which covered around Spectre as his Life Points healed.
Spectre: 700 + 900 + 2000 = 3600 LP
"No! It has an effect like Dryas!" Blue Angel cried.
"So, that is your plan," Cyber Man said. "Your Sunavalon is the key card that allows you to heal your Life Points, Special Summon Sunvine Link Monsters, and use your Sunvine monster for both your defense and offense."
"Correct! You read well, Cyber Man. As I expect from the hero of LINK VRAINS!" Spectre praised.
"However, no matter what, I will push forward! I declare Xtra HERO Wonder Driver to destroy your Healer!"
Wonder Driver used its staff to eliminate Healer, banishing her to the graveyard.
"Sunavalon Dryades' effect can be used twice per turn! I Special Summon my third Sunvine Healer!" Spectre stated as his third Sunvine Healer appeared while regaining his Life Points.
Spectre: 3600 – 1300 = 2300 + 1300 = 3600 LP + 900 = 4500 LP
"Then, I attack your other Healer with Cipher HERO Alogrithman! Algorithm Mayhem!" His third HERO typed something on his multiple hologram keyboards, which fired multiple laser beam at Healer.
Spectre covered himself with his arms as the laser beam shot him at multiple spots and destroyed his other Sunvine Healer.
"Grgh!" He held on.
Spectre: 4500 – 400 = 4100 LP
"I only have done 400 damages this turn…" Cyber Man felt a bit frustrated but showed his calmness. "I end my turn!"
Cyber Man (1h): 4000 LP
"You did pretty well, Cyber Man, but even you cannot destroy my defense and my mother tree," Spectre stated. "I just wonder how this duel will go. Can you protect your damsel in distress or would you run away from the battle, like the scary cat you are IRL?"
Cyber Man's eyes widened as he almost gasped. "I will never run away from the fight, Spectre!"
"We won't, and we will defeat you!" Blue Angel added. "And for the record, I'm not a damsel in distress!"
"Yes, yes…" He shrugged. "Now, it is my partner's turn. Go on ahead, Count Dracule."
-VRAINS Codes of Secrets-
"The Tower of Hanoi looks closer, but it is so far away when you are actually going there!" Ai stated.
"We just got to keep going," Playmaker said.
"I know, I know, but it would be easy if we use your D-Board to get there faster! Too bad we can't use it now…" Ai moaned.
Suddenly, an army of flying objects appeared in front of them, surprising them.
"Woah! What the heck!?" Ai gasped.
"What's this?" Playmaker surprised.
They soon realized that it was a barrage of butterflies flying together as an army. They flew around at a single point until a person appeared before them.
"You cannot go any further, Playmaker!"
"Who are you?!" Playmaker shouted.
"My name is Papilio. In the name of Hanoi, I will defeat you!" She activated her Duel Disk, which the blade looked like a butterfly wing.
"Papilio? Isn't she one of the Top 10 Charisma Duelists?" Ai questioned.
"Yeah," Playmaker replied. "She must be under mind control by Hanoi! Damn Revolver…"
"What's wrong, Playmaker? Are you having cold feet?" She stated.
"It looks like we have no choice, but to duel her and win to progress!" Ai said.
"It looks like so!" Playmaker activated his Duel Disk.
"DUEL!"
Playmaker vs. Popilio
Playmaker (5h): 4000 LP
Papilio (5h): 4000 LP
"I will make the first turn," she declared. "I Normal Summon Butterfly Maiden from my hand!"
A woman with vines tied around her body as clothes appeared. Two large butterfly wings sprouted from her back, colored like "Large Blue" butterfly's wings.
Butterfly Maiden-Level 1, WATER, Insect/Effect, 0 ATK, 0 DEF.
Ai whistled. "Wooh! What a pretty lady…but it has weak ATK, the weakest ever."
"Yeah, but there must be the reason for it," Playmaker said.
"Butterfly Maiden's effect!" She declared. "When she is Normal Summoned, I can reveal 1 Insect-Type Xyz monster from my Extra Deck and change her Level to that Xyz monster's Rank! I reveal my Rank 7 Butterfly Queen Titania."
The revealed card was a woman wearing a white dress with vines tied around her body and having two butterfly wings sprouting from her back. Smaller butterflies were fluttering around the woman.
She put the revealed monster back to her Extra Deck. "Then, Butterfly Maiden's additional effect allows her to treat as two Xyz Materials for Insect-Type Xyz monster!"
"Nani!?" Ai gasped surprisingly.
"She showed that monster on purpose!" Playmaker claimed.
"I build the Overlay Network with Butterfly Maiden!" Her monster split into two before they became blue energy, diving into the spiral galaxy portal.
"Xyz Summon! Rise and flutter to freedom! Butterfly Queen Titania!" The revealed Xyz appeared gracefully as two purple comets orbited around her.
Butterfly Queen Titania-Rank 4, DARK, Insect/Xyz/Effect, 2400 ATK, 1800 DEF.
"I activate Butterfly Queen Titania's effect! By detaching one Xyz Material, I can Special Summon one Level 4 or lower Insect-type monster from my hand! I Special Summon Cairns Birdwing Butterfly!"
This new monster was a simple cairns birdwing butterfly. It had a pretty shade of green with black color for the wings.
Cairns Birdwing Butterfly-Level 4, LIGHT, Insect/Effect, 600 ATK, 2000 DEF.
"I set two cards and end my turn," she finished.
Papilio (1h): 4000 LP
"I never saw a pretty butterfly before nor a duel monster based on it," Ai commented as he fooled around by pretending as a butterfly.
"Don't judge by its look so easy," Playmaker stated. "Pretty or not, she is one of the Top Charisma Duelists like you said before. Like Joker, she is formidable."
"Yeah, but she is number 8 and you beat that number 2, Joker, so this is gonna be easy!" Ai stated.
"Either way, I must win this duel to proceed!" he exclaimed. "I draw!"

Happy Sunday! And congratulations to you all for any of you who graduated from middle school, high school, or college!
As a gift for you all who graduated this month, here is a special gift (also the reason why I posted this chapter early is because I am going to get my wisdom tooth remove next Monday and this week I will be very busy at my job).
We finally begin the Tower of Hanoi, the last story arc for this story! At least for the first season. This chapter introduces new cards! First off, Cipher HERO Dr. Graphics is based on the mystical superhero, Dr. Fate from DC comics or Dr. Strange from Marvel comics while Cipher HERO Drive Boy is based little bit on Robin from DC comics.
We also have brand new "Butterfly" cards. These cards and the OC, Papilio are created by SakushiRyu. Though Butterfly archetype does exist in the TCG/OCG, it never got a Support until the ZEXAL series began. If you are reading this Sakushi, thank you for the OC and the new Butterfly cards. More will be revealed.
Also, have you notice that I made Cyber Man's heroic character to be little bit like All Might? This chapter is start of an inspiration from episode 11 of My Hero Academia season 3. If you watched that episode or watched the show, you know what I am talking about. What I mean by "this chapter is start an inspiration" will be revealed in the next two chapters.
Thank you very much and I will see you in the next chapter. Goodbye for now and have an amazing summer day ;)
Plant, the very basic life form in the natural world. Vampire, the horrific monster from the world of the undead. When these two forces join together, what will happen? Could Cyber Man and Blue Angel work together to stop Spectre and Count Dracule?
Codebreaker: It looks like Cyber Man is going to have an awesome tag duel!
Rossy: I'm most worried about how he would work with Blue Angel. Not only they have to deal with a member of Hanoi, but also Top Charisma Duelist!
Cyber Man: No need to worry! For I, Cyber Man, fighter of justice and peace will prevail alongside with temporary sidekick, Blue Angel!
Blue Angel: Who are you calling a 'sidekick'?
Next time in Yu-Gi-Oh VRAINS Codes of Secrets, Mother Tree and Father Blood!
Playmaker & Codebreaker: INTO THE VRAINS
