A/N: Updated for one card effect in this chapter.
Chapter 43
Last Hanoi
Codebreaker (5h): 4000 LP
Kronos (5h): 4000 LP
"We're back on-live, ladies and gentlemen, dueling fans of Den City," Claire said to the camera. "Right now, Codebreaker is facing against a man named Kronos, the Hanoi's last admin! If Codebreaker defeats him in the duel, then there may be a chance to stop the tower and save the world! All we can do now is watch and cheer for Codebreaker!"
"I will make the first turn," Kronos said as five cards in digital form appeared before him. "I choose this card first to be summoned. Go, Chronomaly Mayan Machine!"
A strange looking machine appeared on his side, with 1500 ATK and 700 DEF. It made a sound like a lawnmower.
"Then, I activate my Chronomaly Crystal Skull's effect from my hand." He showed the Crystal Skull. "If I control a face-up Chronomaly monster, I can discard it to add another Chronomaly monster. I add Chronomaly Moai from my Deck to my hand, and activate its effect to Special Summon itself!"
Next, to Mayan Machine, a dark Moai statue with yellow facial tattoo appeared in 1600 DEF.
"Then, I set rest of my cards from my hand, and end my turn," he said, finishing his turn with three cards face-down and two monsters.
Kronos (0h): 4000 LP
"He set the rest of his hand. I wonder what he had put down," Codebreaker thought aloud.
"Whatever those set cards are, you should be cautious, Master Yu. He must be setting up some kinds of a trap for you," Rossy warned.
"Even so, I cannot be afraid now, Rossy! I got to push through! And I am also looking forward to what Kronos can do," Codebreaker said. "My turn! Draw!"
Codebreaker (6h): 4000 LP
"I Normal Summon C# Download Knight!" His staple C# monster appeared. "Then, I activate its effect! I can Special Summon another C# monster from either my Graveyard or Deck. I choose my…"
"I expected you to do that." Kronos interrupted calmly, yet loudly enough for Codebreaker to hear him saying it. "Trap opens! Stonehenge Sealing!"
The revealed Trap showed the Stonehenge trapping a dragon monster in the center of a magical seal on the ground, with blue electrical energy emitting from the stones.
"While this card is face-up on the field, you cannot Special Summon a monster from your Deck or hand by a card effect," Kronos said.
"What!?" Codebreaker gasped.
"I studied your dueling style from our organization's recorded data on you from your past duels. You tend to summon multiple monsters in one turn and Link Summon your ace monster, Cyber Magician Girl to take control of other monster or C# Link Monsters to inflict effect damage to your opponent's Life Points. Once understanding your method, it is very easy to predict what you would do. Also to make one little comment, your dueling method is a bit too…boring," Kronos said.
"Boring? My dueling is not boring!" Codebreaker argued.
"That's your thought, but as I was saying, your dueling is so boring that makes it very predictable. If a five-year-old puts a little noggin into it, he or she can figure out how to counter against your kind of dueling style," Kronos rebuked. "Anyway, are you going to continue your turn?"
"He completely sealed C# Download Knight's effect, Master Yu," Rossy said.
"Yeah, but…he does have a point," Codebreaker whispered.
"About that your dueling method is boring?" Rossy questioned.
"What? No! Not that!" He replied. "If I can't do how I usually do it in dueling, I guess I have to try something new."
"I set two cards and declare to battle! I attack your Mayan Machine! C# Slash!" C# Download Knight sliced the strange machine in half, turning it into sparkles.
Kronos (0h): 4000 – 100 = 3900 LP
"How was that for a change?" Codebreaker said.
"Just little scratchy, but thank you. Now, you allow me to activate my second set card!" Codebreaker's eyes widened as he gasped under his breath. "Trap opens! Chronomaly Dig Site!"
The next Trap showed an archeological dig site where the Ojamas were digging Chronomaly artifacts at a dig site. It showed Ojama Purple using a construction tray wheel for carrying dirt and rocks, Ojama Yellow using a pixel ax as he was digging in the dig site and surprised Ojama Green discovering Chronomaly Nebra Disk, peeking out of the dirt.
"During either player's turn, when a Chronomaly monster is destroyed by battle or card effect, I can either Special Summon it back from the Graveyard or add one from my Deck to my hand. I add Chronomaly Crystal Bone from my Deck to my hand." He just did that.
"With that card, whenever his monster is destroyed, he can either resurrect it or add a new one from his Deck!" Rossy exclaimed.
"There's nothing else I can do, for now, so I end my turn here," Codebreaker said. "Hey, um, Kronos!"
"Hmmm?" Kronos looked with a curious look.
"I was wondering. You said stuff about what you think this whole thing with Tower of Hanoi destroying Link VRAINS is a waste of this world's potential. Are you saying that…you're against all of it?" He questioned.
"Well, you do really pay attention to others even though you look like you don't, at least in academically speaking," Kronos said. "To answer your question, yes, I was and still am against the destruction of Link VRAINS, but it is not a decision I made. It is decided by Revolver, and Dr. Kogami."
"Dr. Kogami!" Rossy gasped silently to herself.
"Then, why did you join the Hanoi? If you knew something bad like this is going to happen, then why didn't you try stopping it?" Codebreaker questioned further.
"Foolish boy. Why would I go against my own boss? However, I will be honest that I criticize how he runs the organization, but the reason for why I join the Hanoi is not that I wanted to in the first place. No, it was the other way around. Revolver came to me to ask to join the Hanoi." Kronos revealed.
"He did?" Codebreaker said.
"Indeed, he did." Kronos nodded. "Before I was a Knight of Hanoi, I was an archeologist and duelist rising in fame, for both fields, actually. However, my fellow archeologists ridiculed me when I proposed my finding and I became a broken man. I almost lose my will to live until Master Revolver appeared to me."
"Then, what happened next?" Codebreaker asked.
"I joined the Knights of Hanoi. He picked me, along with two others, Gemma and Sir Lady, to become his three admins who he chose to be not only some of the strongest pro duelists but also the strongest in each unique summoning methods! Gemma excels in Fusion Summon, and Sir Lady is an expert in Synchro Summon," he explained.
"According to my calculation, that would mean that you must be…!" Rossy analyzed.
"That's right, and I will show it to you in this turn, but first I draw!" He drew, adding up to two cards in his hand.
Kronos (2h): 3900 LP
"I activate my last set card, and this one is a Spell Card! I activate Chronomoly Relics!"
Suddenly, an ancient relic popped out of the ground on Kronos' side of the field. It was black in color with a strange inscription written in white.
"While this card is face-up on the field, once per turn, I can target one Chronomaly monster on the field and make rest of my monsters the same level equal to that Chronomaly monster's Level. Before I do, I Normal Summon my added Chronomaly Crystal Bones!" A crystal-made skeleton appeared on the field without a skull.
"I target it by the effect of Chronomaly Relics to make rest of my monsters on the field Level 3, like Crystal Bones' Level." His other monster, Chronomaly Moai's Level decreased from five to three.
"Could this be!?" Codebreaker realized what Kronos was up to.
"You catch on quick, Codebreaker. Just as I expected from you," Kronos said as the outline in his avatar form lightened up with yellow color. "I use my Level 3 Chronomaly Crystal Bones and Moai to build the overlay network!" The two monsters turned into energy as it absorbed into the spiral galaxy portal.
"It can't be! Are you seeing this, folks!? The Hanoi admin, Kronos is doing ah!" Claire exclaimed.
"Xyz Summon! Rise! Rank 3! Chronomaly Crystal Chrononault!" A blue humanoid figure with wings rose out of the portal, presenting itself with 2100 ATK, and two yellow comets orbiting around it.
"So the summoning method your expert on is Xyz Summon!" Codebreaker stated.
"That's right," Kronos answered. "However, I am not done yet! Since I Xyz Summoned a Chronomaly Xyz monster, I can Special Summon Chronomaly Acamdinaro!"
A new Chronomaly monster was summoned, and this one was a reddish-brown statue of brachiosaurus.
Chronomaly Acamdinaro-Level 5, EARTH, Rock/Effect, 2000 ATK, 100 DEF.
"This card can be Special Summoned if I Xyz Summoned a Chronomaly Xyz monster successfully," Kronos said. "Now, open the circuit that leads the path to the future!"
"What!? You're gonna Link Summon, too!" Codebreaker gasped as everyone else watched with a surprised look.
"I set my Chronomaly Crystal Chrononault and Acamdinaro in the Link Markers!" The two Chromomaly monsters turned into one crystal blue twister and another a yellow twister. The two twisters sucked into the link markers while one of the overlay units also sucked into one of the link markers.
"Link Summon! Rise from the earth you were born and show your power that rules over the earth and heaven! Link 3! Chronomaly Laputa!" The entire ground they stood on shook like an earthquake.
"Waaaaahh!" Claire screamed as she tripped while the camera tried to balance himself, but fell anyway.
Meanwhile, the duel between Go and Revolver was still going on, but they also felt the shaking.
"What's going on!?" Go questioned.
"Aaaah! Earthquake! But we're in LINK VRAINS, so….Vrainsquake!" Ai screamed horrifically.
"Kronos…You have summoned your ace monster," Revolver said.
Back to Codebreaker's duel, the ground they stood on rose up, with structure coming out of it.
"What's going on!? Why the whole ground is moving up!?" Codebreaker said.
"It's because we're on my ace monster! Meet Chronomaly Laputa!" The new monster revealed to be the ground or rather the ground part of the castle they were on. It was a literally flying castle in the sky.
Chronomaly Laputa-Link 3, EARTH, Machine/Effect, 3000 ATK, Link Arrow: Bottom-Left, Bottom, Bottom-Right.
"According to my scanning of the area, we're actually on Kronos' Link Monster itself, Master Yu!" Rossy stated.
"Wow! Incredible! We're actually on a flying castle, which is also a duel monster itself!" Codebreaker was amazed.
"Pretty impressive, don't you think?" Kronos said.
Meanwhile, on the ground, Playmaker, Ai, Go, and Revolver noticed the flying Link Monster.
"Wooooooooah! It's a flying castle!" Ai screamed overdramatically.
"What is that thing!?" Go asked.
"Is that a monster?" Playmaker questioned.
"Kronos' ace monster, Chronomaly Laputa has finally shown itself," Revolver said.
Fortunately, Claire and her cameraman also aboard the flying castle Link Monster.
"Holly Kuriboh! We're now on a flying castle apparently, and what's even more surprising is that this flying castle we are on is also the Link Monster Kronos has just summoned, and we are now flying on it!" Claire exclaimed.
"Chronomaly Laputa can be Link Summoned when one of the Link Materials used is a Chronomaly Xyz Monster, and one of its overlay units can be treated as a Link Material for the Link Summon. Additionally, I can Special Summon that Xyz Monster back from my grave to one of the Linked Zones on my field! Resurrect, Chronomaly Crystal Chrononault!"
The crystal humanoid being resurrected from the grave. "Chronomaly Laputa's additional effect activates! When there is a Xyz monster in the zone it points to, it cannot declare an attack nor direct attack to my opponent's Life Points," Kronos revealed.
"Phew! What that's a relief, at least," Codebreaker acknowledged.
"However, I sensed something else about this monster…we're on," Rossy said worryingly.
"Hmph," Kronos smirked. "The prototype Ignis catches on, and I will show it to you now! Chronomaly Relics' second effect activates! When a Xyz Monster is Special Summoned by a card effect, I can attach one Chronomaly monster from my Graveyard to the Xyz monster. My Crystal Chrononault regains one overlay unit!"
A single blue comet appeared and attached to the Chrononault, going around it.
"Great! Now that weird crystal thing got a unit again!" Codebreaker stated.
"But it won't keep for long," Kronos admitted. "Here is the last part! I activate Chronomaly Laputa's third effect! Once per turn, when a Xyz monster it points to has an overlay unit, I can detach that unit to inflict 1000 points of damage to your Life Points!"
"Say what!?" Everyone gasped.
"I detach Chrononault's unit to inflict the damage to you! Heaven's Wrath!" Laputa glowed in pink light. The sky became clouded with dark clouds, and lightning struck on Codebreaker.
"Aaaaaaaahhhh!" The lightning shocked him.
Codebreaker (3h): 4000 – 1000 = 3000 LP
"However, I am not done just yet. I still haven't attack yet," Kronos reminded as he wagged his finger for emphasis. "Chrononault, attack his C# Download Knight! Crystalize Beam!"
Chrononault shot a laser beam at C# Download Knight, turning it into sparkles. The laser beam hit Codebreaker, giving him another pain as his avatar form glitched.
Codebreaker (3h): 3000 – 500 = 2500 LP
"What do you think, Codebreaker? This is just a little taste of my power," Kronos asked.
"Very…shocking," He commented.
Kronos laughed. "Very funny."
"But even though you destroyed my monster, I can bring it back! Trap activates! C# Bit Recovery!" The said Trap showed C# Download Knight recovering its body bit by bit. "When a C# monster is destroyed by battle this turn, I can Special Summon it back, but the next time it gets destroyed, it is banished!"
C# Download Knight returned to the field, but this time it was in defense position.
"Then, I will end my turn here. You suffered enough already in this one turn, but I will warn you that in at least two turns from now, you will lose this duel. As much as I want to toy with you, I really don't have much time left. In fact, we don't really have that much left anyway, now that this wasted potential world will be gone in any moments now. Even if you manage to defeat me, I don't think there won't be much time left. If anything, I recommend you give up and log out when you have the chance now," Kronos said.
"You…. You want me to just escape?" Codebreaker questioned.
"Well, there's no need for you to continue fighting now. If anything, even if this world full of potential is destroyed, I don't want a promising, young duelist like you to be destroyed along with it. Plus, there's no point to winning a duel that you can't win," Kronos explained.
"No way!" Codebreaker shouted. "There's no such thing as 'no point'! I am not giving up this fight!"
Kronos watched him silently with a stern look. "I considered to give up everything in the past before, but I never want to give in to that feeling. Never again! I have a point in fighting and a point to win this duel! I don't care if I am cornered because there will always be a solution! I will find a way to defeat you, and help Playmaker to stop this tower, and come after your boss!"
Kronos sighed and said, "So be it."
"Codebreaker… He's right. He cannot give up here now!" Claire exclaimed.
"I draw!" Codebreaker drew his card strongly.
Codebreaker (4h): 2500 LP
"Yes! The right card I need! I summon C# Webkumo!" The familiar C# spider crawled into the field of battles.
"Now, I input the code to open the circuit to my victory!" The Link Square appeared on the castle ground of Laputa. "The summoning condition is two Level 3 or lower C# monsters! I set my C# Webkumo in the link markers, and at this point, I use its effect to treat itself as two materials for Link Summon!"
Webkumo transformed into two blue twisters, sucking into the arrows. "Link Summon! Appear! Link 2! C# Bit-Duplicater!"
The new Link Monster was a humanoid figure with one-half white with red lines and red eye and another half black with a green line and green eye. Its body was slender with a feminine-like shape for the hip and chest areas.
C# Bit-Duplicater-Link 2, DARK, Cyberse/Link/Effect, 800 ATK, Link Arrow: Bottom, Bottom-Right.
"I activate C# Bit-Duplicator's effect! When this card points to a C# Monster I control, I can Special Summon a C# token monster with the same exact stat as that C# monster! Data Duplication!" A token that looked exactly like C# Download Knight in grayish color appeared next to the real one.
"Even though Kronos' Trap Card, Stonehenge Sealing prevents Master Yu from Special Summoning a monster from Deck or hand, that doesn't apply to the Token monster," Rossy said.
Kronos smirked and said, "I'm quite impressed. You somehow bypassed my trap's effects. I applaud you."
"Thanks, and you will applaud me more when I do this! I input code to open the circuit again!" The Link Square reappeared. "Arrowheads confirmed! The summoning condition is 2 C# monsters! I set my C# Download Knight and C# Token in the link markers!"
The two copies of a monster turned into two silver twisters, absorbing into the circuit. "Link Summon! Link 2! C# Stream Dragon!"
The staple C# dragon appeared, roaring for battles and presented with 2000 ATK.
"What are you planning to do?" Kronos asked. "From the look of it, I don't think you could use C# Stream Dragon's effect to inflict damage to me, and there was no point since it can't point to any other C# monster, not even C# Bit-Duplicater."
"I'm not done yet, Kronos because I am going to Link Summon for one more time!" The circuit appeared for the third time. "The summoning condition is at least 3 Effect monsters! I set my Link 2 C# Bit-Duplicater and C# Stream Dragon in the link markers!"
The two C# Link monsters turned into two purple twisters and two yellow twisters. The dark and light twisters sucked into the arrows on the link square, causing the link square to brighten with holy light.
"Dragon-born out of nothingness, cleanse LINK VRAINS and the world, and make them born anew! Link Summon! Appear! Link 4! Null Dragon!"
The ace dragon appeared since for a very long time ago.
"Codebreaker has summoned his ace dragon, Null Dragon!" Claire exclaimed.
"With this, then Master Yu can win this duel!" Rossy stated.
"Null Dragon's effect activates! When it is Link Summoned, all face-up Spell and Trap Cards have their effect negated and you cannot activate other card's effect in response to this effect! Nullification!"
Null Dragon roared, echoing the voice to turn Kronos' three face-up cards into grayish color.
"Null Dragon's other effect activates! Once per turn, I can Special Summon 1 Extra Deck monster from my Extra Deck or Graveyard, but it cannot attack this turn! I Special Summon Cyber Magician Girl!" His ace Spellcaster appeared as she winked, standing just behind Null Dragon. "And now Cyber Magician Girl gains an extra link marker. I choose the one on her left!"
Cyber Magician Girl's left link arrow lighted up as if lightbulb turned on. "Following up is Cyber Magician Girl's effect! Once per turn, I can target one monster you Special Summoned to the field and take control of that monster. And the monster I take control of…is the one we're standing on right now! Your Chronomaly Laputa is now under my control!"
The pink lining of the floating castle turned into green color, indicating that it became under Codebreaker's control.
"I am so impressed! Now I can see why Gemma and Sir Lady lost to you!" Kronos praised.
"Time to teach this guy a lesson, Rossy," Codebreaker stated.
"Yes, Master Yu!" She agreed.
"Battle! Null Dragon attack Chronomaly Chrononault! Null Omega Force!" His ace dragon fired a white energy blast, obliterating the crystal figure into pieces.
Kronos (1h): 3900 – 300 = 3600 LP
"Now, I declare your own monster to make a direct attack!" Codebreaker followed up. "Go, Laputa! Taste his own medicine with your Heaven's Wrath!"
"Since Laputa is not pointing to any Xyz monster, it can make a direct attack," Claire mentioned aloud.
The sky darkened again and then lighting struck down, but this time on Kronos.
Kronos got shocked by the lightning, making him kneel down as his avatar form glitched.
Kronos (1h): 3600 – 3000 = 600 LP
"Excellent work, Master Yu! With his Link Monster, Chronomaly Laputa under your control, he stands no chance!" Rossy said.
"I end my turn here," Codebreaker said. "How was that for a change?"
He asked Kronos, but all Kronos replied with was a laugh.
"Ummm…. What's so funny?" He questioned.
"Something is not right about this," Rossy thought aloud.
"You really have so much potential, Codebreaker. I love it," Kronos said.
"Eeww…. OK," Codebreaker said as he felt creep out.
"I know that you don't summon your Null Dragon so often like the rest of your other Link Monsters, but I expected something like this to happen, so I was prepared for it!" Kronos revealed.
"Say what?" Codebreaker gasped.
"Chronomaly Dig Site's second effect activates! During the End Phase of either player's turn, if a Chronomaly monster is changed location from one zone to another on the field at all time, I can place that monster back to the original location on the field. My Chronomaly Laputa shall return to my side, Codebreaker."
The lining of Laputa turned back to reddish pink color, indicating that it was back in its original owner's control.
"Oh man…And here I thought I have a chance to control a flying castle," Codebreaker moaned.
"Now that your turn ended, it is my turn. I draw!" Kronos drew his card. "I activate my Chronomaly Dig Site's first effect! Since you destroyed my Chronomaly monster by battle, I can either resurrect it or add a new one instead. This time, I resurrect my monster! Revive, my Crystal Chrononault!"
The crystal humanoid figure reappeared as it roared for vengeance.
"Now my Chronomaly Relics' effect activates, allowing me to attach a new overlay unit to my Crystal Chrononault!" A blue comet attached to the said monster. "Then, I use my ace monster, Laputa's effect to detach Crystal Chrononaut's overlay unit to inflict 1000 effect damages to you! Heaven's Wrath!"
The lighting struck down again on Codebreaker, making him scream in agonizing pain.
Codebreaker (3h): 2500 – 1000 = 1500 LP
"But I am not done yet! I activate the Spell Card, Rank-Up-Magic Ancient Rite!" The said card showed figures in hood worshipping Crystal Chrononaut standing in front of them on an altar.
"Rank-Up-Magic?" Codebreaker looked surprised. "I never heard of that card!"
"Rank-Up-Magic is a Spell Card that allows the player to summon a Xyz Monster with a higher rank, using the Xyz Monster that he or she already controls as the material to summon much stronger Xyz monster," Rossy explained.
"Correct! I choose my Chronomaly Crystal Chrononaut to Rank-Up!" The crystal humanoid figure turned into blue energy as it swallowed into the galaxy portal. A bang like a supernova exploded from the core of the portal as a brand-new monster came out.
"Rank-Up! Xyz Change! Appear! Rank 4! Chronomaly Thunder Hammer!"
The brand new Xyz monster was literally a giant hammer with golden decoration marking, with lighting insignia in the center, and silver lining around the handle. A single yellow overlay unit was attached to the monster as it orbited around it.
Chronomaly Thunder Hammer-Rank 4, LIGHT, Thunder/Xyz/Effect, 2500 ATK, 2100 DEF.
"Rank-Up Magic Ancient Rite has another effect, which allows me to attach it to my Xyz Monster I just summoned." Another yellow comet appeared around his Xyz monster. "Chronomaly Thunder Hammer's effect activates! When it is Xyz Summoned next to a Link Monster's Link, that Link Monster can activate its effect again even if it is already activated in the same turn!" This shocked his opponent, and everyone watching it.
"Oh no…Not again!" Codebreaker suddenly got another juice as Laputa shot a powerful lighting on him. "Aaaaaaaaahhhh!"
Codebreaker (3h): 1500 – 1000 = 500 LP
"Then, I activate Thunder Hammer's second effect! By detaching its overlay unit, all monsters that my opponent controls are destroyed, and they're dealt with 200 points of damage! Thunder Wrath!"
The last comet absorbed into the hammer, and it hammered itself down on Null Dragon and Cyber Magician Girl, destroying them as it released a powerful shockwave in the air.
"Aaaaaaaaahhhh!" Codebreaker screamed as he fell over on his back by the impact.
Codebreaker (3h): 500 – 400 = 100
"Your time has come to end, Codebreaker! Feel the wrath of my Thunder Hammer! I declare it to attack you directly!" The Xyz monster was ready to pummel Codebreaker into a pancake.
"Not so fast! I activate the Trap Card, Negate Attack!" His last set card revealed to be one of the classic Trap Cards. "This card negates your monster's attack and end the Battle Phase!"
Thunder Hammer crashed against the Negate Attack's invisible shield, stopping any further damage on the owner.
"Excellent save, but I just wonder how long you can protect yourself and I think you have not much of hope left in you," Kronos said, smirking. "I set a card and end my turn here."
"As long as I still have Life Points left, there is always a hope!" Codebreaker argued but then thinking differently. "But, then again, what can I do? I cannot Special Summon a monster due to that Stonehenge Sealing and I don't have any other monster with an attack higher than his both monsters! This…. seems hopeless!"
"Master Yu!" Rossy snapped out of his thought. "Don't fret yourself! Remember your father's words. For every problem, there is a solution! You just have to find the code to fix that problem!"
Codebreaker grinned. "You're right, Rossy. This deck is given from my father, and I know that there is a solution in my Deck to get out of any mess if I just put my mind and heart into it! Just like all the duels I had, and even though I had a fair share of win and loss, I definitely don't give up, and neither I will in this one! My turn! I draw!"
Codebreaker (4h): 100 LP
"I play the Spell Card, Monster Reborn! With this, I can revive any monster from either player's Graveyard! I revive my Cyber Magician Girl!" He decided.
Kronos only laughed in response. "Foolish boy! I waited for you to make that move! I activate my Trap Card, Magic Jammer!" He revealed the set Trap Card. "By discarding one card from my hand, I can negate an activation of Spell and destroy it! I negate your Monster Reborn!"
The said Spell shattered into pieces. "With that, your last hope is shattered, and my victory is assured!"
"Sorry, Kronos, but actually, that is exactly what I wanted you to do!" Codebreaker exclaimed, which surprised Kronos. "I activate my Quick-Play Spell, Conjuring Code!"
The said card showed Cyber Magician Girl working on making a spell with many beakers and laptop for aid, displaying complicated coding.
"You see, when my opponent negated and destroyed a Spell Card, I can destroy one of your Spell and add a new one from my Deck to my hand! I choose your Chronomaly Relics!" The Relics shattered into pebbles.
"The new Spell Card I added by this effect is Malicious Code and I activate it now!" The new Spell showed viruses from the Card Crush Virus' artwork infecting inside a mobile device while the owner, Gagaga Girl was freaking out when it was happening.
"With this card, by paying half of my Life Points, all face-up Spell and Trap Cards on the field are negated and destroyed!"
"What?" Kronos gasped as the viruses destroyed his two-remaining face-up Trap Cards.
"With his Stonehenge Sealing gone, Master Yu can Special Summon a monster!" Rossy stated.
"That's right, Rossy, and I am going to do just that! I Normal Summon my C# Cardulator!" The monster that looked a calculator Transformer bot appeared. "I activate its effect! For every C# monster in my Graveyard, I can draw an equal number of cards! Since I have six C# monsters, I draw six cards!"
Codebreaker (1 + 6 = 7h): 50 LP
"I then activate C# HDMEye's effect! When I control a C# monster on the field, I can Special Summon it from my hand!" The monitor with displayed eye and HDMI cables for tentacles appeared.
"Next up, I bring my old buddy I haven't seen for a while! Come out, C# PSUninator!" The bulky C# humanoid monster appeared for the first time in a while.
"But, wait there's more! I activate my C# Fairy Bot's effect in my hand to Special Summon itself since I control C# monster on the field!" Four C# monsters assembled on the field.
"Now, I input the code to open the circuit of hope!" He shot a electricity from his palm, making the Link Square appeared.
"The summoning condition is at least 3 LIGHT monsters! I set my four C# monsters in the link markers!" His four monsters turned four light energies, shooting into the arrows. "Link Summon! Link 4! Cyber Knight Magician Girl!"
The knight version of his ace monster appeared with her sword ready. "Battle! I declare Cyber Knight Magician Girl to attack! At this point, her effect activates! During the Battle Phase only, she gains 1000 ATK if there are no other monsters next to her Link!"
His ace monster's ATK increased to 3000. "Use Blazing Drago on Thunder Hammer!" The two monsters collided each other, but Cyber Knight Magician Girl overwhelmed the Rank 4 Chronomaly Xyz until it got a slash in half, burning into flames.
"Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!" Kronos lost the duel.
Kronos: 0 LP
Codebreaker WINS!
"And that's game!" Codebreaker posed in a very familiar fashion.
Is it just me or have I seen that pose somewhere before?
Kronos could only laugh. "Well done, Codebreaker! Well done! You clearly have more potential than I expected! I wish I can see your progress and become even greater, but alas, I have been defeated and I must accept my fate. However, if you or Playmaker defeats the Hanoi's leader, then maybe we can meet again!"
Right after that, Kronos disappeared into data, joining with the soon-to-be-completed Tower of Hanoi.
