Chapter 53
Shark Attacks!
It was around after Codebreaker had a Speed Duel with Blossom Star. He, Playmaker, and Soulburner were heading down to the restrictive area at the very lower level of New LINK VRAINS.
A little while ago, they were discussing how to infiltrate into the area.
"Sorry I'm late," Yu apologized as he scratched behind his head and smiled. "I had to do a little duel with a friend."
"We saw it," Takeru said. "And it was awesome!"
"I have to say. It was quite an impressive duel," Flame commented.
"Thank you for the compliment, Flame," Rossy answered. "Let's begin on our discussion about how to access the restrictive area."
"Well, let me start then..." Kusanagi said as he and everyone turned to the monitor, displaying the area they're going to. "The area where that Bowman and The Beast went to is somewhere here. There is a high-level security barrier that blocks between the restrictive area and the free area of LINK VRAINS. It's not easy to get through."
"So how do we get through the barrier?" Ai asked.
"Well, actually something interesting was sent to my Inbox just not too long ago, and it came with this." Kusanagi showed a message from some sender with an encrypted name.
"It's Ghost Girl! She's at it again!" Ai exclaimed.
"Ghost Girl? I remember her," Yu said. "Isn't she a bounty hunter? Why is she helping us?"
"According to my calculation, there is 95 percent for the probability of this being some kind of trap," Rossy noted.
"If Ghost Girl sends this to us, there's highly likely that she's working for Akira Zaizen of SOL Tech," Yusaku stated.
"You mean Aoi-chan's big brother?" Yu questioned. "Why would they help us then?"
"As your Ignis partner said, this is most likely a trap," Flame explained. "SOL Tech has hired some bounty hunters."
"Right," Kusanagi noted. "However, this message also came with this."
He then showed a strange algorithm. Ai, Flame, and Rossy looked at it with wide eyes.
"This is!" Ai gasped.
"It's an Ignis algorithm!" Flame announced.
"Indeed it is," Rossy agreed.
"Ignis Algorithm? What Ignis did it make this?" Yusaku asked.
"It's the WIND Ignis," Flame said. "Each of us, six Ignis are created after the duel monster's Attribute. This algorithm belongs to the WIND Ignis."
"This could only mean that the WIND Ignis must be in the restrictive area, the same area where the mysterious duelists, Bowman and the Beast escaped to," Rossy concluded.
"And if we go there, we might find them and reunite with the WIND Ignis. Maybe he's been kidnapped by them and he needs our help!" Ai stated.
"That is a possibility," Flame thought aloud.
"According to what Ghost Girl sent us, there is some kind of unknown gate located somewhere in this area. She said that it may be connected to some kind of another world," Kusanagi explained. "If anything, that's where you three will be going to and find out what it is."
"Right and there we might find Bowman, and we can get Kusanagi-san's young brother's consciousness data back," Yusaku said.
Back to the present time, the trio was approaching near the security barrier, guarded by multiple security programs.
"Everyone. Watch out for those security programs. If one of them sees you, they will set off the security alarm," Kusanagi warned.
"Right!" Codebreaker replied.
Just at the right time, falling debris fell down. The trio used this as an opportunity by hiding behind it and then heading all the way down to the security barrier with the falling debris.
"It's time to turn on the stealth program." Playmaker and the gang pressed on their duel disk, surrounding their body with blue particles. They went through the barrier as easily as a cockroach through a tight space.
"Well, that was easy," Codebreaker commented.
"We finally meet again, Playmaker!" They heard a familiar, strong voice and then turned around to see who it was.
It was Go Onizuka and his two accomplices in their bounty hunter avatar uniform.
"It's the bounty hunters!" Soulburner shouted.
"And one of them looks like Go Onizuka!" Codebreaker stated.
"That's because it is Go Onizuka, Master Yu," Rossy said.
"Well, well! It looks like Go is now on SOL Tech's side, their new pet dog," Ai remarked.
"What should we do, Playmaker?" Soulburner asked.
"We don't have time to fight them. We will get away from them!" Playmaker decided as the trio of heroes moved faster, but Go and his team reacted quickly and increased their D-Board's speed.
"You're not getting away, Playmaker!" Go yelled. "Today is the day that I will defeat you!"
"They are not giving up!" Codebreaker stated.
"Leave to us, Master Yu!" Rossy looked at Flame and Ai as they were all thinking the same thing.
"Data Storm!" The Ignis trio summoned a powerful data storm together. The storm went toward Go's team.
"Waaaaahhhhh!" Go's accomplices got caught in the storm, forcing them to log out.
"A little Data Storm won't stop me!" Go pushed forward and managed to fly through the storm.
"He went right through the Data Storm!" Ai said, surprised.
"He's persistent. Just as I expect from a former Number 1 Top Charisma Duelist," Flame thought aloud.
"But now it's just him alone!" Soulburner pointed out. "Playmaker, Codebreaker! You guys go ahead! I will deal with Go Onizuka!"
"Huh? Are you sure about that? Go Onizuka doesn't seem to be the same Go that we know and love, you know," Ai replied.
"Soulburner will be just fine as long as I, Flame, his trustworthy partner, is on his side. Plus, I am the one who takes cares of him," Flame responded.
"What are you? My babysitter?" Soulburner bickered. "Anyway, I will keep Go busy! You two go right ahead and I will catch up!"
"OK! Good luck, Soulburner!" Codebreaker said, giving him a thumbs-up.
"See you soon!" Soulburner gave them a thumbs-up before he slowed down and stopped Go Onizuka.
"You! Get out of my way! My business is with Playmaker!" Go barked.
"Nice to meet you, Go Onizuka. My name is Soulburner, and I am your biggest fan!" Soulburner greeted.
"And I am Flame, his Ignis and the fire of passion," Flame introduced pridefully.
"You have an Ignis like Playmaker!" Go look at him with wide eyes behind his scouter lens. "That would make you one of the Lost Incident victims, like Playmaker…. I decided! I will take you down first and capture your Ignis before Playmaker's!"
"It would be an honor to duel you, Go Onizuka, as I waited for a time to duel you and there is no time better than now!" Soulburner exclaimed.
Meanwhile, as the duel between Soulburner and Go Onizuka began, Akira Zaizen watched safely at SOL Tech's monitor room.
"Go Onizuka has engaged with Soulburner! Their duel is about to begin, sir!" One of the agents announced.
'Just as according to my plan,' he thought. 'By now, Aoi and Ghost Girl should now be passed through the security barrier and heading to the restrictive area. While Playmaker's team is occupied by SOL's bounty hunters, they would be fine.'
His thought was interrupted when a security alert went off.
"What's going on? Why did the security alarm go off?!" Akira questioned.
"Sir, somebody has broken through the security barrier!" The other agent announced. "I am accessing one of our security programs' camera and displaying the image to the monitor now!"
The monitor displayed footage that happened just a moment ago. An armored VR avatar riding on a gold and white D-Board with a giant lion's head in the front rammed through the security programs, destroying them in the progress and then rammed through the barrier without stopping.
"Who was the intruder? Could you zoom in and identify the identity," Akira ordered.
"Yes, sir! Zooming in now!" They stopped the footage and zoomed in to see the face of the avatar user better. The footage became clearer, revealing to be Gladia.
"Intruder's identity identified! VR username is identified as Gladia!" The agent revealed.
"This girl!" He realized the avatar. "She's the one who appeared after Codebreaker dueled that unknown avatar from another day! What is she thinking?"
Back in LINK VRAINS, Ghost Girl and Blue Girl, formerly Blue Angel, were heading their way to the unknown gate's location.
"Hey girls!" They looked up and got surprised by Gladia, who turned back and flew at the same speed as them.
"Who are you?!" Blue Girl said with wide eyes.
"I should be the one asking you that!" Gladia jested. "What are you? Blue Angel's twin sister or something?"
Blue Girl looked at her with a snort and then said, "I am Blue Angel. Well, in this form, I am now known as Blue Girl."
"Blue Girl, huh?" She said. "Hmmm, OK, B.G! Whatever floats your boat!"
Blue Girl didn't like Gladia's attitude and felt a bit annoyed from her.
"So you must be Ghost Girl," Gladia said, turning her attention to G.G. "Fancy meeting one of the famous bounty hunters here."
"Me, famous? Oh, you flatter me," Ghost Girl said sarcastically. "Actually, this is a good time to get to know you. I saw you dueled the other day."
"This avatar knows you, Gladia. I smell suspicion. Don't trust her," Jackal revealed itself from Gladia's duel disk, which surprised both girls.
"That's ah…!" Ghost Girl gasped.
"An Ignis!" Blue Girl shouted. "Where did you get that?"
"Oh, this little guy?" She said. "I didn't get him. He's the one who got me, but that's a long story. Say, why don't you ladies join up with us?"
"What? Join you? Why would we join you?" Blue Girl questioned harshly.
"Oh, come on. It's just a little partnership, B.G. Three is better than two right. Well, counting this little guy, it would be four betters than two. Am I right?" She suggested.
"Jackal is not little," Jackal grumbled.
"Alright, sure. We can work together for now," Ghost Girl agreed without a second thought.
"Ghost Girl! Why would you..."
"Calm down, B.G. This would benefit us, too, you know," Ghost Girl said in a sort of mocking tone. Blue Girl didn't like how they're referring to her as "B.G."
"...Fine," Blue Girl huffed as she pouted her cheek.
"Jackal senses annoyed feeling from Blue Girl," Jackal remarked.
"I'm not annoyed!" Blue Girl shouted.
Meanwhile, Playmaker and Codebreaker were heading their way until someone else was chasing them.
"Hey, it's that guy again!" Ai pointed at the chasing bounty hunter. It was Blood Shepherd.
"Who's that? Another bounty hunter?" Codebreaker asked.
"Most likely," Rossy said. Just then, Blood Shepherd shot at them with his arm gun. They barely dodged it. "Correction. Definitely."
"That guy is a nut! He's literally shooting at us!" Codebreaker exclaimed.
"Don't worry! Ai-same will save us! Data Storm!" Ai summoned a Data Storm, which headed toward Blood Shepherd.
"Hmph. Not this time." He shot the Data Storm with one shot, which dissipated it completely.
"What?! No way!" Ai gasped.
"He got rid of the Data Storm with just one shot. He must be using a very high-level program just to destroy a Data Storm!" Rossy stated.
Playmaker and Codebreaker tried to get away from Blood Shephard, but he was still on his pursuit just behind them.
While running away from Blood Shepherd, Codebreaker glanced at something moved and hid from their view.
"Something else is here," Codebreaker said.
"Something else is here?" Ai repeated.
A familiar soundtrack from the Jaws movie played in the background until a giant shark came launching upward from below.
"Woah!" The heroes were separated when a giant shark came out of nowhere before it disappeared.
"She, she, she!" They heard an eerie laugh. "I finally found you…. Ignis!"
Out of the blue, Sharkbite appeared on his D-Board, which was a shape of a shark, with the two red dots for the eyes and dorsal fin at the back-end. The front end had the mouth of a shark. The color was gray with blue lines across its body.
"Who are you?" Codebreaker questioned.
"She, she, she! The name's Sharkbite, a bounty hunter!" Sharkbite introduced. "You must be the famous Codebreaker, one of the LINK VRAINS' heroes."
"Yeah, that's me. Are you working for SOL Tech?" He said.
"She, she, she! SOL Tech put a high bounty on Playmaker's head and even more if I capture his Ignis," Sharkbite said before he noticed Rossy. "Hmmm? It seems like you have an Ignis, too."
"You can't have Rossy!" He shouted.
"She, she, she! Playmaker is the bigger prey, but an extra prey would give me some extra bounty!" Sharkbite activated his VR duel disk.
"He's challenging us to a Speed Duel! It looks like we can't escape from this user easily," Rossy said.
"You're right, Rossy but I don't mind!" Codebreaker looked excited. "I'll take on whoever my opponent is! Let's break some code!"
"SPEED DUEL!" They both shouted.
Codebreaker vs. Sharkbite
Codebreaker (4h): 4000 LP
Sharkbite (4h): 4000 LP
Meanwhile, Ghost Gir, Blue Girl, and Gladia were talking about the bounty hunters while they were heading to the location of the unknown gate.
"So there are two more bounty hunters other than Go Onizuka and his team?" Blue Girl asked.
"That's right. One is named Blood Shepherd and another one is Sharkbite," Ghost Girl answered.
"I heard about Blood Shepherd. He's one of the best hunters in LINK VRAINS, but the most ruthless of all. He will do anything to get his goal," Gladia said.
"Then what about Sharkbite?" Blue Girl questioned.
"Sharkbite is also a well-known bounty hunter in the network underworld. However, he goes after common thugs and anyone on the wanted list most of the times," Ghost Girl remarked. "However, once he knows his target, he doesn't let them escape at any given chance and attacks them ferociously!"
"She, she!" Sharkbite giggled. "I Normal Summon Hammer Shark from my hand!"
A blue hammerhead shark with a literal hammer for the head was summoned as it splashed out of the digital water portal.
"I activate Hammer Shark's effect!" He declared. "Once per turn, I can reduce its Level by 1 to Special Summon 1 Level 3 or lower WATER monster from my hand! Come out, Level 3 Jellyfish Shark!"
Hammer Shark decreased its level by one when a new Shark monster appeared next to it. The new Shark monster was a pink shark with tentacles of jellyfish. Its eye glowed in purple color as the tentacles showed with sparks that constantly go on and off every 6 seconds.
Jellyfish Shark-Level 3, WATER, Fish/Effect, 1600 ATK, 500 DEF.
"I overlay my Level 3 Hammer Shark and Jellyfish Shark! I build the Overlay Network!" A giant blue X with four light-blue dots appeared from behind him. The dots shot four blue energy beam that met at a single point in space, making a swirling galaxy to appear. The two sharks turned into particles, absorbing into the swirling galaxy and then energy burst out of it.
"Rise from the depth of the ocean! Xyz Summon! Rank 3! Dark-Depth Double Combat Shark!" The energy formed into a DNA strand before it split into bunches of particles formed into a sphere. The sphere formed into a duo of dark purple shark. Under each fin was smaller shank inside a canon. On the top, two turbojet engines were attached on their back with their dorsal fin showing. One shark had glowing blue eyes while the other one had glowing red eyes. Two blue overlay units circled around it behind.
Dark-Depth Double Combat Shark-Rank 3, WATER, Fish/Xyz/Effect, 2300 ATK, 1600 DEF.
"Jellyfish Shark's effect activates! When it is used for Xyz Summon of WATER Xyz monster, it inflicts 300 points of damage equals to the summoned monster's Rank! Poison Stings!"
Jellyfish Shark appeared briefly, using its tentacles to shoot like a missile at Codebreaker, giving him several shocks.
"Waaaaahhhhh!" He screamed in pain.
Codebreaker (4h): 4000 – 900 = 3100 LP
"Dark-Depth Double Combat Shark's effect activates!" He continued. "By detaching one overlay unit, I can inflict 400 points of damage for every Fish-type monster in my Graveyard to my opponent's Life Points! Shark Torpedoes!"
The Xyz Shark monster released its shark torpedoes from the canons underneath its fins. Codebreaker shielded himself as the torpedoes hit him directly.
"Grrrrghh!" He held on as strongly as possible.
Codebreaker (4h): 3100 – 800 = 2300 LP
"I set a card and end my turn," he said, finishing his turn with a face-down. "If I were to go second, I would just attack you directly and end this now, but I went first."
Sharkbite (1h): 4000 LP
"Even in the first turn, he took down almost half of Master Yu's Life Points," Rossy fretted.
"He's definitely strong," Codebreaker said, panting a little but with a grin on his face. "But that's what makes it fun and challenging! It's my turn! I draw!"
Codebreaker (5h): 2300 LP
"I activate C# Smail's effect from my hand!" He showed a monster that was a snail with a blue E-mail icon highlighted on its shell. "By discarding it, I can Special Summon one Level 4 or lower Cyberse monster from my hand! I Special Summon C# Webkumo!"
"Then, I summon C# Download Knight!" His staple Cyberse Knight appeared. "I use its effect to Special Summon a Level 4 or lower C# monster from my Deck or Graveyard! I bring back C# Smail from my Graveyard!"
The blue snail resurrected from the grave in face-up defense position.
C# Smail-Level 4, EARTH, Cyberse/Effect, 0 ATK, 2000 DEF.
"Now I input the code to the circuit of hope!" A Link Circuit appeared above him. "Arrowheads confirmed! The summoning condition is two C# monsters! I set my C# Webkumo but I will use its effect now to treat itself as two Link Materials!"
The spider C# monster turned into two blue energies, shooting into the arrows.
"Link Summon! Appear! Link 2! C# Stream Dragon!" The serpentine dragon with a monitor for a head appeared as it roared strongly.
"C# Stream Dragon's effect activates! For every C# monster it points, it inflicts 400 points of damage to your Life Points! Use Stream Blast!" The dragon's arrow was pointing to C# Smail. It fired a blue energy beam at Sharkbite, hitting him directly.
Sharkbite (1h): 4000 – 400 = 3600 LP
"Then, I activate C# Smail's additional effect!" He declared. "When this card is linked by a C# Link Monster, I can send it back to my Deck, reshuffle it, and draw a card and if it is a Monster Card, I can Special Summon it! I send my Smail back to my Deck and reshuffle time!"
His deck reshuffled and then he drew a new card.
"Eureka!" He beamed, revealing the card he drew was indeed a Monster Card. "The card I drew is a Monster Card! Go, Knightmare Corruptor Iblee!"
The Cyberse Knightmare maiden appeared with her usual cold expression. Download Knight greeted her politely, but she didn't respond, which made Knight to sweat-drop.
"Now I re-input the code for another Link Summon!" The Link Circuit appeared again. "Arrowheads confirmed! The summoning condition is two Cyberse monsters! I set my C# Download Knight and Knightmare Corruptor Iblee in the Link Markers!"
The two monsters turned into blue and purple twisters. They absorbed into the arrows on the circuit, brightening the color.
"Link Summon! Appear! Link 2! C# Admin Witch!" The new C# Link Monster was a pretty lady with long blue hair with one bang covering her left eye. Her other eye was a green color, and her outfit looked almost robotic, with blue energy streaming across it. She also wore a pair of high-heel, which also glowed with the same color.
C# Admin Witch-Link 2, LIGHT, Spellcaster/Link/Effect, 1400 ATK, Link Arrow: Top, Right.
"C# Admin Witch's effect activates! When she is Co-Linked with another C# Link Monster, I can add one C# Spell Card and C# monster from my deck to my hand, and Special Summon one Level 4 or lower Cyberse monster from my Graveyard in face-up defense position! I resurrect C# Download Knight and since it is Special Summoned, I can activate its effect again!"
"OK, this is just getting annoying..." Sharkbite grumbled.
"I bring back C# Webkumo!" C# Webkumo returned from the grave and placed it in the right Main Monster Zone.
"According to my calculation Master, you have met the prerequisites," Rossy said.
"Prerequisites? For what?" Sharkbite questioned.
"This!" He answered. "I play the Ritual Spell, C# Coding Ritual!"
The new Ritual Spell Card showed a ritual magical seal written with codes while a single blue flame burns in the middle of the seal.
"Ritual Summon?!" Sharkbite gasped, never expecting this would happen.
"With C# Coding Ritual, I can Ritual Summon a C# Ritual monster from my hand or the field by releasing monsters with Level equal to or greater than the level of the Ritual monster I'm going to summon! I release my Level 4 C# Download Knight, Level 2 C# Webkumo and Link 2 C# Stream Dragon!"
"What? But your dragon is a Link Monster! Link Monster doesn't have a Level!" Sharkbite accused.
"You're right, but with C# Coding Ritual, it can treat a Link Monster with a Level equals to its Link if I use it for Ritual Material!" He revealed.
"Say what?!" Sharkbite said, surprised.
The green lines on Codebreaker's body changed to blue. The three material monsters turned into codes, forming the same magical seal with a single blue fire burning in the middle.
"I reprogram these souls' codes to summon the sacred dragon! Ritual Summon! Rise! Level 8 C# Streamline Dragon!" The fire burned stronger and bigger until two glowing eyes appeared and then burst out, revealing the new monster.
This monster was a long serpentine dragon. It looked similar to Stream Dragon, except it was longer and doesn't have a monitor screen for its head. It has four glowing green eyes and two slit mouths. There were three arms on each side of its body, totaling six arms. Each arm had sharp claws that shined with color constantly changing in out of order for each. Its tail ended with a sharp horn-shaped of a mouse pointer. Line with the circle was across its body on both sides, glowing in green, blue, red, and purple color.
C# Streamline Dragon-Level 8, LIGHT, Cyberse/Ritual/Effect, 2700 ATK, 1800 DEF.
"C# Streamline Dragon's effect activates!" Codebreaker exclaimed. "When it is Ritual Summoned using a Link Monster with Dragon in its name for one of the materials used, it gains 1000 ATK!"
The new Ritual dragon roared as its body's lights glowed while its ATK boosted.
"Its additional effect also activates!" He continued on. "Once per turn, if this card is Linked with C# Link Monster, that monster is treated as two Link Materials and I can use that monster to Link Summon a monster so that it points to this card! Streamline Glow!"
Streamline Dragon flew around Admin Witch, making her glow with light.
"Now, I re-input the code to the circuit of hope once more!" The Link Square appeared for the third time. "The summoning condition is four Effect monsters! I set my Link 2 Admin Witches in the Link Markers!"
Admin Witch's body glowed brighter, turning into two clones before both clones transformed into two white twisters for each clone. Four twisters sucked into the arrows.
"Link Summon! Come out, my old friend! Link 4! Cyber Magician Girl!" His ace Spellcaster appeared for the first time in season 2.
"And now I use Cyber Magician Girl's effect! Once per turn, I can take control of one Special Summoned monster on my opponent's side of the field and place it next to one of her Link Arrows! Control Execute!" He declared as Cyber Magician Girl turned her wand into a whip, which she used it on Sharkbite's Xyz monster.
"With his monster under Cyber Magician Girl's control, his field would be wide open and then Master Yu can make a direct attack to win this duel!" Rossy exclaimed.
"She, she, she!" Sharkbite laughed eerily. "I've been waiting just for this moment!"
"Say what?" Codebreaker said, looking a bit confused.
"Trap activate! Seaweeds Field!" His face-down flipped up, showing a field of seaweed with Ojama Yellow, Black, and Green stuck inside while ominous glowing red eyes of a shark loomed over them. "When my opponent activates a monster's effect and it targets on Fish, Aqua, or Sea-Serpent monster I control, that effect is negated!"
The same seaweed field appeared, with some seaweeds tangling Cyber Magician Girl.
"Kyah!" She squeaked as she was being tangled.
Aaaahh...This is getting awkward.
"While Seaweeds Field is face-up on the field, the monster cannot declare to attack, it cannot be used for Link Summon, and nor it can change battle position.
"Then, I will just attack with my dragon! Go, C# Streamline Dragon! Use Stream Mega Blast!" Streamline Dragon fired a giant blue fireball, burning his Xyz Monster into a fish stick.
Sharkbite (1h): 4000 – 1400 = 2600 LP
"At least now that shark is gone!" Codebreaker exclaimed.
"Not quite!" Sharkbite countered. "Dark-Depth Double Combat Shark's effect activates! When it is destroyed by battle while it had an overlay unit attached, then I can Special Summon the monsters I used to summon it! Come forth from the depth! Hammer Shark and Jellyfish Shark!"
His two sharks returned from the Graveyard in face-up defense position.
"I end my turn and with that, Streamline Dragon's attack is returned to normal," Codebreaker said as his dragon's attack returned to the original 2700 points.
Codebreaker (2h): 2300 LP
"Sharkbite negated Master Yu's ace monster's effect and even countered his new Ritual Monster's attack, bringing back his two Shark monsters for defense. This user…. he's 100% terrifying, according to my calculation!" Rossy remarked.
"It's my turn! I draw!" Sharkbite began his turn. "I have to say! You have guts, but not strong enough! It's time for you to get a taste of my power!"
"He's up to something!" Codebreaker shouted.
"I play the Spell Card, Gift from the Sea Princess!" The new Spell Card showed a young man receiving wonderful, decorated treasure box from a sea princess in a giant sea palace. "With this card, I can draw cards equal to the total Level of WATER monsters I control on the field!"
"According to my calculation, the total Level of all WATER monsters on his side of the field is 7!"
"That's right! I get to draw seven cards!" He drew seven, totaling to eight in his hand. "Then, I activate Hammer Shark's effect! By reducing its Level by one, I can Special Summon a monster! Come forth! Gazer Shark!"
A strange looking Shark monster appeared beside the other two Sharks.
"I set two cards." He placed two face-down cards. "Now, appear! The circuit of the raging ocean!"
The Link Square appeared on his side of the field.
"Arrowheads confirmed! The summoning condition is three WATER monsters, with at least one monster with Shark in its name! I set all my three monsters in the Link Markers!" The three Shark monsters turned into three blue twisters with watery effect as each sucked into the arrows.
"Link Summon! Rise from the depth of the sea trench! Link 3! Deepsea Shadow Lancer!"
Two glowing purple eyes appeared before its entire form revealed. It looked similar to Number C1010: Silent Honors Ark except its armor looked more metallic. A single large dorsal fin stuck out on its back. It wielded a purple lance with three red spikes at the tip in the shape of a cross. The front plate of the armor had a face of a shark with yellow eyes and sharp teeth. Where it supposed to have feet were giant red fins with spiky edge covered with armor.
Deepsea Shadow Lancer-Link 3, DARK, Sea-Serpent/Link/Effect, 2400 ATK, Link Arrow: Left, Right, Bottom-Right.
"Wow. That looks so...cool." Codebreaker amazed.
"Deepsea Shadow Lancer's effect activates!" Sharkbite declared. "When this card is Link Summoned in the Linked Zone pointed by opponent's Link Monster, this card can attack twice in a battle!"
"Say what?!" Codebreaker gasped.
"Battle! I declare Deepsea Shadow Lancer to attack your C# Streamline Dragon first!" His ace Link 3 monster swam toward Streamline Dragon.
"But Streamline Dragon has higher attack than Deepsea Shadow Lancer!" Rossy warned.
"When Deepsea Shadow Lancer attacks a monster with higher attack, by sending one WATER monster from my hand to the Graveyard, I can make it gain attack equals to its target's ATK halved until the end of the current Damage Step! I send my second Hammer Shark." He announced as he just sent one monster from his hand to the Graveyard. "Your boss's C# Streamline Dragon's ATK is 2700. By halved, my monster gains 1350!"
Deepsea Shadow Lancer glowed in purple aura momentarily, increasing its ATK to 3750.
"Use Depth Pierce!" His Lancer pierced through Streamline Dragon, causing it to screech in pain before it turned into pure particles.
Codebreaker (2h): 2300 – 1050 = 1250 LP
"My Lancer's ATK is returned, but I can still make my second attack!" Sharkbite reminded them. "Attack!"
His Link Monster pierced Cyber Magician Girl, making her scream in pain.
OK. This is just getting even weirder.
Codebreaker (2h): 1050 – 400 = 650 LP
"Due to the effect of Seaweeds Field, the monster cannot be destroyed by battle, but now I can activate my Lancer's last effect!" He followed up. "If it attacked an opponent's monster but wasn't destroyed, then Lancer can inflict damage equals to that monster's ATK by halved!"
"Cyber Magician Girl's ATK is 2000. By half, that would be 1000 points of damage and Master Yu only has 650!" Rossy shrieked.
Codebreaker sweated with shuddering facial expression.
"With this, you're finished! She, she, sheeeeeeee!" Sharkbite laughed as his ace monster held its spear pointing at Codebreaker.
Lancer was about to stave him with its spear, but he reacted quick enough to reveal one card in his hand.
"I activate Muncher-Mucher's effect from my hand!" He shouted. "If I were to take 1000 or more damages, I reveal this card and take only half of the damage this turn!"
The little dark furry creature appeared and opened its mouth so wide that the spear fit right inside it, but soon it was pierced, which made it explode.
The backlash from the explosion was strong, but Codebreaker still stood on his D-Board.
Codebreaker (1h): 650 – 500 = 150 LP
"Tch! So you managed to survive this turn," Sharkbite groaned. "I end my turn."
"That was a very close one. By 99.5 percent," Rossy said. "However, with only less than 200 Life Points, you can now activate your skill, Storm Access, Master."
"Right!" He said with hope twinkling in his eyes. "My turn! I draw!"
Codebreaker (2h): 150 LP
"She, she, she! I activate Gift from the Sea Princess's additional effect from my graveyard!" Sharkbite interrupted. "By banishing this card and one WATER monster from my Graveyard, both players gain Life Points equal to the banished monster's attack points! I banish my second Hammer Shark that I sent from my last turn!"
Both Sharkbite's and Codebreaker's Life Points increased as their body glowed in blue aura briefly.
Sharkbite (4h): 2600 + 1700 = 4300 LP
Codebreaker (2h): 150 + 1700 = 1850 LP
"I may not look like a studious kind of guy, but I have studied you, Codebreaker! You're quite well-known for a duelist who uses multiple skills, but you cannot use it if you don't have a low Life Points!" Sharkbite announced.
He was right. Codebreaker couldn't activate either his skill, Storm Access or Code Access. Both skills required 1000 or lesser Life Points to activate either of it. He also had his Legendary Skill, Hope Limit Break, but he needed to summon the Legendary Code in order to use it, but neither the cards in his hand could help him with that.
However, not all hope was lost. He still had some tricks left in his sleeve.
"It appears to be he outwit us, Master Yu," Rossy said sadly. "With his Life at 4300, the situation has become worse."
"Cheer up, Rossy!" Codebreaker reassured. "I still have some Life Points left, and we're not giving up! Like my dad always used to say. Whenever there is a problem, there is always a solution!"
"You're right, Master Yu." Rossy looked better. "We cannot give up here!"
"Alright! First, I play the Spell Card, Pot of Greed!" He showed the classic spell card, which the same green pot appeared on his side. "With this, I can draw two cards!" He drew two and added them to his hand.
He looked at the card he drew, and his eyes widened by one card he added.
"Eureka! Here is the solution!" He exclaimed. "I play the Spell Card, Monster Reborn! I bring back one monster from my Graveyard and I bring back C# Webkumo!"
His staple C# monster crawled out of the Graveyard portal, looking glad that it returned to help its master.
"Then, I play the Spell Card, Star Loaner!" The new Spell Card he played showed a man signing a loan that shows a monster's level star on the loan contract paper. "With this, I can increase one monster's Level up to 5 times by paying 500 Life Points each!"
"What?" Sharkbite gasped.
"I pay 1000 Life Points to increase my Webkumo's Level to 4!" His C# spider jumped in joy as its Level increased to 4 while its master's Life Points decreased.
Codebreaker (1h): 1850 – 1000 = 850 LP
"Everything is ready now," Codebreaker said as the lines on his body glowed in yellow. "I activate C# Webkumo's effect! I can treat itself as two materials for another summon other than Link Summon and that is...Xyz Summon!"
He waved his arm outward with static electricity on his hand, releasing it and then caused a giant gold X with four white dots to appear. The four dots shot a white beam at the center in the space, allowing a swirling galaxy to appear.
C# Webkumo split into two clones of itself before turning into particles as those particles swallowed into the galaxy portal.
"Legendary warrior from the unknown Astral Dimension, show the world your awesome power! Bring hope to all who feels only despair and defeat all foes who despise it! Xyz Summon!" As he chanted, the energy burst out of the galaxy portal, revealing a strange object. The object started moving and transformed into a duel monster. "Appear! Rank 4! Number 39 - Utopia Data!"
The legendary Duel Monster appeared as it cried with its battle cry.
"So this is the Legendary Code! The greatest treasure that all bounty hunters, cyber-analyst, and cyber treasure hunters of all ages have to seek for!" Sharkbite marveled.
"When Utopia Data is on the field or in the Graveyard, its name is treated as Number 39 Utopia," he stated. "I set a card and battle! Go, Utopia! Attack Deepsea Shadow Lancer with Hope Slash!"
Utopia pulled out one of its swords and jumped up to slice the Lancer from the sky.
"But!" Codebreaker interrupted. "Now I activate Utopia's monster effect! By detaching one of its overlay units, I can negate a monster's attack. I negate its own attack!"
As Lancer was about to clash Utopia's sword with its spear, Utopia's sword disappeared in a flash, stopping the attack completely.
"Why would you do that?" Sharkbite asked as he looked perplexed.
"Because of this!" He answered. "Now I activate the Legendary Skill, Hope Limit Break! When Utopia's attack is negated by a card effect, its ATK is increased by double its original ATK and it can attack again this turn!"
Utopia started to burn brightly as its wingspan expanded, and two swords burning in flames appeared in its hands.
"5000!?" Sharkbite sputtered.
"Go, Utopia! Attack his Lancer again with Hope Cross Slash!" He declared.
As Utopia was about to clash at Lancer, Sharkbite smirked and said, "Fool! I activate my Lancer's effect! If it is attacked by opponent's monster with higher ATK, then by sending one WATER monster from my hand to the Graveyard, Lancer gains ATK equals to that attacking monster's ATK by halved! I send my second Jellyfish Shark from my hand!"
Lancer roared as its body glowed in dark purple aura, similarly to how Utopia's body was a glowing golden yellow aura. Its ATK increased to 4900.
"But that won't be enough!" Codebreaker stated.
Utopia slashed Deepsea Shadow Lancer this time, marking a giant X on its chest before it exploded.
The backlash was still powerful that it made Sharkbite wobble on his D-Board, but restored his balance quickly.
Sharkbite (3h): 4300 – 100 = 4200 LP
"Dang it. Only just 100 damages, but at least it's better than nothing," Codebreaker mumbled. "I end my turn here and at this point, Utopia's ATK is returned to normal."
Codebreaker (0h): 850 LP
"I have to say. I'm glad that you summoned the Legendary Code, Codebreaker," Sharkbite commented.
"Really?" He asked.
"Yes, she, she, she!" He laughed with malice in his eyes. "That way, I can surely tear it apart and bite it to chumps! My turn! I draw!"
Sharkbite (4h): 4200 LP
"I activate my Trap Card, Davy Jones' Reborn!" The said card showed a whirlpool in the stormy ocean with Deepsea Shadow Lancer in the middle while ships were being crushed and collided one another in the whirlpool. "When this card is activated, I can Special Summon one Fish or Sea-Serpent Link Monster from my Graveyard! Rise from the depth again! Deepsea Shadow Lancer!"
His ace monster returned from the graveyard.
"Then, I can send one monster on my opponent's side of the field to the Graveyard! I send your Number 39 – Utopia! Go to the depth of Davy Jones' locker!" The same whirlpool in the Trap Card appeared, swallowing Utopia as it cried and flushed away.
"No, Utopia!" Codebreaker cried.
"Then, I activate Deepsea Shadow Lancer's effect! When this card is Special Summoned in the zone pointed by an opponent's Link Monster, then it can attack twice this turn! Go, Deepsea Shadow Lancer!"
Deepsea Shadow Lancer pierced its spear on Cyber Magician Girl, making her cry in pain. The spear was long enough to it also hit Codebreaker, making him feel the pain, too.
Codebreaker (0h): 850 – 400 = 450
"Attack again!" He declared as his monster went for its second attack.
"Aaarrrhh!" Codebreaker cried in pain over his chest. This time, the pain was too much that made him kneel
"Master Yu!" Rossy gasped.
Codebreaker (0h): 450 – 400 = 50 LP
"Deepsea Shadow Lancer's last effect! When it battled a monster, but the monster wasn't destroyed, then it inflicts damage to your Life Points equals to that monster's ATK halved! This is the end for you, Codebreaker! Your Ignis is mine!" His ace monster held its spear ready just like from the last turn.
It threw its spear at Codebreaker, but he didn't look ready to give up.
"Not so fast! I activate my Trap Card, Miracle Link!" He revealed his last defense, which was a Trap Card that showed the Link Circuit brightened with lights and its arrows glowed in red while rainbow sparkles shined through the light.
"If I have less than 100 LP and I control only one Link Monster on my side of the field, all damages I would gain this turn is negated and I get to draw cards equal to my Link Monster's Link Rating!" Codebreaker announced.
The spear was stopped automatically in the air before it disappeared and then reappeared into Lancer's hand. Codebreaker drew four cards since Cyber Magician Girl has a Link Rating of four.
"Tch! Persistent fish." He grumbled. "Then, I will end my turn here!"
"Master Yu, you only have 50 Life Points left." Rossy reminded him.
"I know Rossy," he said, looking tired and hurt. "However, I am not done yet. Even if I have just one Life Point left, I will still duel to the end! My turn! I draw!"
Codebreaker (5h): 50 LP
"..." He looked at the card he drew and grinned at it. "Rossy…. It is time!"
"Affirmative, Master Yu!" Rossy stated as the winds started to pick up stronger. Suddenly, a Data Storm appeared. Sharkbite noticed and flew out of the way but Codebreaker barged into it.
"He's going to use Storm Access!" Sharkbite exclaimed.
"If I have 1000 or lesser Life Points, I can add one random Link Monster from the Data Storm to my Extra Deck!" Codebreaker pulled his hand out into the data stream. The current was really strong as this was his first time in the long while since he used the skill last time.
"Waaaaaaaaaahhhh!" He screamed at the top of his lung. There were silhouettes of monsters swimming or flying within the storm, but one of them looked a female figure with pixel-like wings.
"Storm Access!" He gathered the data material in his palm, becoming into a completed card. He flew out of the storm safely, with him now at the front.
"I play the Spell Card, Cyber Magic Telepathy!" He showed the Spell Card, which showed Cyber Magician Girl with her eyes closed, telepathically connecting her mind with Decode Talker on the field. "By sending one Cyber Magician Girl monster to my Extra Deck, I can replace her with Link Monster with less than or equal to her Link Rating from my Extra Deck with its effect negated and ATK increased by 500! I send my Cyber Magician Girl from the field!"
Cyber Magician Girl turned into sparkles, escaping from the clutches of the seaweeds that held on her as she returned to the Extra Deck.
"No! If you do that, Seaweeds Field is destroyed since the affected monster has left the field," Sharkbite said as the said card destroyed.
"I call upon Cyber Heart Magician Girl in Cyber Magician Girl's place!" The angelic form of Cyber Magician Girl appeared as she flapped her wings.
"Here we go! I input the code to the circuit of hope!" The Link Portal appeared just above him. "Arrowheads confirmed! The summoning condition is three Effect Monsters, with at least one WATER monster! I set my Link 4 Cyber Heart Magician Girl in the Link Markers!" His monster turned into four yellow twisters.
"But she is a LIGHT monster!" Sharkbite argued.
"The monster I'm going to summon can be Special Summoned if I use Cyber Magician Girl monster for Link Material!" Codebreaker countered, surprising Sharkbite while the twisters sucked into the arrows. "Circuit combines! Link Summon! Appear! Link 4! Cyber Sprite Magician Girl!"
The new evolved form for Cyber Magician Girl wore a long blue dress and flower crown on her head. It had a translucent or see-through light-blue fairy wing that constantly fluttered with blue and pink sparkles. The wing pattern looked like the wing of a monarch butterfly. Her hair was a long pink hair in a braid and her eyes yellow with cute pink heart tattoos over her cheek. Her ears were also spiky, like an elf.
Cyber Sprite Magician Girl-Link 4, WATER, Spellcaster/Link/Effect, 2000 ATK, Link Arrow: Top, Bottom, Left, Right.
"She, she, she! Cute, but how would that thing defeat my Deepsea Shadow Lancer?" Sharkbite asked mockingly. "It has attack lower than my monster and you still have 50 Life Points left!"
"Don't judge my Cyber Sprite Magician Girl's look," he said. "You see, when there is a monster next to her Link, that monster's effect is negated, and I gain Life Points equal to that monster's original ATK points! Healing Sparkle!"
Cyber Sprite Magician Girl flew around the field. She twirled around Deepsea Shadow Lancer, sprinkling its sparkles all over the monster, which made it feel drowsy. Then, she flew over to her master's side and sprinkled him, except it made his Life Points increased.
Codebreaker (3h): 50 + 2400 = 2450 LP
"Also, her additional effect activates! When she is Link Summoned using just Cyber Magician Girl monster as the only Link Material, then she can inflict damage equals to the monster's original ATK affected by her monster effect! Go, Sprite! Use Sprite Tornado!"
Cyber Sprite Magician Girl summoned a tornado made of pure water and blasted it at Sharkbite.
"Mmmwaaaahhhh!" Sharkbite cried in the water.
"Bwah! Blur!" He threw up some water.
Sharkbite (3h): 4200 – 2400 = 1800 LP
"Then, I equip Cyber Sprite with Cyber Girl Power!" The said card showed Cyber Magician Girl in middle fighting alongside Cyber Knight Magician Girl on her right and Cyber Valkyrie Magician Girl on her left as they are unleashing their attack at some demons around them. "By equipping this only to Cyber Magician Girl monster, Cyber Sprite Magician Girl gains 500 ATK for every Cyber Magician Girl monster in my Extra Deck currently! Right now I have 3, so she gains 1500 ATK!"
The aura of the three Cyber Magician Girls; the original, Knight, and Valkyrie were absorbed by Sprite Magician Girl, increasing her ATK power to 3500.
"Battle! Go, Sprite! Use your Aqua Sprite Kiss!" He declared as his monster blew a kiss at Sharkbite, which turned into a giant water bomb that blasted right in Lancer's face.
Sharkbite (3h): 1800 – 1100 = 700 LP
"She, she, she! It looks like you only just damaged me enough to less than 1000 Life Points! When my next turn comes, I will use my Ski….!"
"My turn is not over yet!" Codebreaker interrupted. "And in fact, this is my last turn! I activate Cyber Girl Power's second effect!"
"What?" Sharkbite gasped.
"By destroying this card, I can make the equipped monster to attack again this turn, but at the end of the turn, it will be banished!" He explained.
"Fortunately for us, you only have 700 Life Points. With Cyber Sprite Magician Girl's 2000 Attack points, that is more than enough to end this duel," Rossy said.
"No way!" Sharkbite exclaimed.
"Go, Cyber Sprite Magician Girl! Use your Aqua Sprite Kiss again to victory!" She gave one last kiss, but this time, it was a bigger water bomb. It floated slowly to Sharkbite's face as it got bigger and bigger.
"Sshhhhhhhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiiittttt!" The bomb exploded once it touched his dorsal fin, which caused it to pop. The water bomb burst, causing all the water spilling all over the place.
"Woohoo!" Codebreaker surfed his D-Board on the digital water, like a surfer. Sharkbite, on the other hand, sunk in the digital water before he was forced log-out.
Sharkbite: 0 LP
Codebreaker WINS!

Post-Chapter Show
The TV monitor glitched and the title was shown that says "Kitty and Mimi's Post Chapter Show".
"Hello everyone!" Kitty shouted as she appeared on the screen. "The name's Kitty!"
"And Mimi is here and this time for real," Mimi said.
"And welcome to our second episode of..." Drum rolls were made in the background until the light flashed with the title appeared. "Kitty and Mimi's Post Chapter Show!"
The crowds of people cheered and applauded for the girls.
"Boy, this is like the longest chapter in the second season so far!" Kitty exclaimed. "What do you think, Mimi?"
"I got to say. It is a bit...invigorating," Mimi commented as laughing was heard.
"Let's get to show the key card for today," Kitty decided. "Today's Key Card is...!"
The TV monitor appeared behind them and soon revealed the key card.
"It is Cyber Sprite Magician Girl!" Kitty announced.
"Cyber Sprite Magician Girl is a Link 4, WATER Spellcaster Link monster with ATK of 2000 and its Link Arrows points to top, bottom, left, and right," Mimi explained.
"This new evolved form of Cyber Magician Girl is a brand new ace monster for Codebreaker who save his butt against Sharkbite," Kitty said. "And I really like how it did!"
"She looks cute, but don't let her look fool you. She may not have raw power like other Cyber Magician Girls, but she has the ability to heal the player's Life Points and she has a deadly kiss that can inflict damage to your opponent, if you used another Cyber Magicial Girl monster to Link Summon her," Mimi said.
"You know. This chapter made me hungry. Let's go and get some tuna burger after this!" Kitty declared.

"Did you say something, Mimi?" Kitty asked.
"Nothing," she replied. "Anyway, thank you for watching our show and enjoy the preview for the next chapter."
"Yup! Until then, see you later, alligators!" Kitty and Mimi waved goodbye to the invisible audience.
