Chapter 54
Enter the Brave, New World
Codebreaker surfed on the digital water, created by his new Link Monster, Cyber Sprite Magician Girl's attack. He just won his duel with Sharkbite, surfing on the digital water until it withered down.
"Wooo! That was fun!" He exclaimed.
Rossy then noticed two familiar people ahead. "Master Yu, there's Playmaker and Soulburner ahead."
"Hey guys!" He shouted, making them turn around to see him fly over to their side, coming in the middle.
"Yo! It looks like you two are OK," Ai greeted.
"I see that you and Playmaker won the duel," Codebreaker replied.
"Of course we did! We're strong!" Ai boasted.
"And I guess you beaten Go Onizuka?" Codebreaker turned to Soulburner with a question.
"Of course he did. I was with him," Flame said.
"Yeah," Soulburner nodded in agreement. "Something like that."
"Look." Playmaker spoke up as they turned forward and saw a shining green portal in the middle of nowhere.
"Is that the gate?" Codebreaker asked.
"According to my calculation, Master Yu, it is," Rossy answered.
"Let's jump right in!" Ai declared.
"Right. If we go through there, he may find Bowman and the Beast," Playmaker decided as the trio went into the portal.
Just not far away from them, Ghost Girl, Blue Girl, and Gladia and her Ignis partner, Jackal were just behind.
"Do you think Playmaker and his group went in already?" Blue Girl questioned aloud.
"They have to be," Ghost Girl said. "That's the gate Zaizen said."
Jackal sniffed the air and then said, "Jackal can sense them. They went into that gate and we shall too."
"You've quite a good nose there, Jackal," Ghost Girl complimented.
"Jackal's sense is far advanced than any normal human's senses," Jackal said.
"Then, what are we ladies waiting for? Let's get right to it!" Gladia exclaimed as the girls and one Ignis went into the gate, following after Playmaker's group.
Meanwhile, Akira Zaizen just watched the girl team's signal disappeared as indicated on his tracking monitor.
"Good luck, girls and be safe Aoi," Akira Zaizen mumbled to himself.
Meanwhile, Playmaker's team was flying through a gate, which was very long.
"This is a one long gate," Codebreaker thought aloud.
"I know. It's boring!" Ai groaned.
"We have to keep going," Playmaker said, focused on the mission and only thinking of that.
Then, a light appeared just ahead of them and Rossy noticed.
"Look, Master Yu and everyone. There is the exit," she pointed.
"Let's go!" Soulburner stated.
They went through the exit, but when they did, they were welcomed by powerful winds.
"Whooaaa! It's windy here!" Codebreaker said, surprised.
"What's up with this wind?!" Ai panicked.
"Uuuuuh! This is not very pleasant!" Flame exclaimed.
"If we keep it like this, we will eventually crash to the side or something!" Playmaker warned.
"Don't worry! This is our time now!" Ai looked at Flame and Rossy as they all understood what to do in the situation.
They put up both their hands out in front, releasing a small, but strong data storm to counter the winds.
"Of course. Using the data storm to counter the winds," Playmaker said.
"This is nice!" Soulburner cheered.
"Isn't it great?" Ai boasted. "Though, doing this might make me fart."
"We don't have that kind of function," Flame objected.
"If I were a human lady, I would find that to be gross," Rossy stated.
The trio continued on, flying through the powerful winds. At the same time, they did not notice a giant green eye spying on them from above. Just a minute later, the girl team entered the gate and exited it out, and like Playmaker's group, they were also unpleasantly welcomed by the winds.
"What the!?" Ghost Girl gasped as she was pushed by the wind.
"Ghost Girl!" Blue Girl screamed.
"Whoooaaa! Holy Kuriboh! This wind is messing up my hair!" Gladia complained.
"You should worry more about your safety than your hair!" Jackal scolded.
The girls tried to push on, but they tumbled around. Suddenly, out of the three, Blue Girl slipped off from her D-Board and fell down from it.
"Kyyaaaahh!" She screamed.
"Blue Girl!" Ghost Girl shouted.
Blue Girl watched to her demise, but suddenly, she stopped falling and saw what happened. The white Ignis, Jackal pulled himself out and caught Blue Girl by her arm.
"Blue Girl, though temporary ally, must not die here," he said.
"Um, thanks!" She replied.
The girls took shelter at the nearby cave. At least they were safe the winds in here.
"That was a close one," Ghost Girl said. "Good thing old Jackal here saved you."
"Did you hear that, little buddy?" Gladia asked with a smile. "You're their hero."
"Hmf," Jackal huffed in response, not commenting on Ghost Girl's remark or Gladia's compliment.
Blue Girl checked her radar and it detected a signal.
"Hey look. I'm detecting a signal here," she said. "It must be the lost research team sent by SOL Tech!"
"What? SOL?" Jackal gasped.
"It's this way!" Blue Girl ran out of the cave by foot.
"Hey wait up!" Ghost Girl shouted as they followed after her.
Despite the rough wind, Blue Girl found another cave that wasn't faraway from the cave they were in. She looked inside and soon found the unconscious SOL Tech's research team.
"Hey, B.G. Did you found them?" Gladia called to her.
"Over here!" She waved at them.
"So these guys are the missing SOL Tech's research team," Ghost Girl said.
Blue Girl checked the members' pulse and then said, "They're still alive. It must be the rough winds that caused them to go unconscious, but they couldn't log-out here. Also, their signal couldn't reach outside of this world."
"Well, that's suck but at least we're lucky to find them," Gladia said. 'Though, I wish we found the one who I want to meet...'
Blue Girl pressed something on her duel disk and then it showed a ball of blue particles.
"Hey, what are you doing with that?" Ghost Girl asked.
"I'm using this program to get them out of here," she answered.
"Are you crazy? That's your log-out program and it's the only way for you to get out of here!" Ghost Girl argued.
"I know that, but it's the only way to save these men," she countered.
"We're here to find the Ignis and learn their goal. We're not here for rescuing," Ghost Girl stated in a serious tone.
"But we must save them. We cannot just leave them here," Blue Girl said as she turned around with a calm, yet sad expression. "Since the events that happened three months ago, I've been thinking. When I was dueling as Blue Angel, I only cared about myself and only dueled for myself. But there were people who made me realize that we're all interconnected and we need each other for support. Now, I'm not doing things for myself anymore. I'm going to do things to help everyone who helped me."
They stared at her as she had a serious conviction shown on her face. Ghost Girl sighed and said, "There's no way I can talk you out of it."
She pressed something on her duel disk, which made it release her log-out program.
"I will use mine, too. The program only works one person," Ghost Girl said with a light grin.
"Thank you, Ghost Girl," Blue Angel said, grinned.
"Wait." They stopped and turned to Jackal.
"What's wrong, Jackal?" Gladia asked.
"Jackal may have misjudged you two," Jackal said.
"Huh?" Ghost Girl and Blue Girl looked at him with a confused expression.
"Jackal can take one of those log-out programs and make copies, so that Blue Girl and Ghost Girl can still log-out of this world if they need to," Jackal said.
"You would do that for us?" Blue Girl asked.
"Jackal see that Blue Girl have a kind heart. Jackal don't like human, not trust humans at all, but Jackal can trust Blue Girl, seeing Blue Girl's self-sacrifice for another humans," Jackal said.
Hearing that made Blue Girl and Ghost Girl very glad and appreciative.
"Why, thank you, Jackal," Blue Girl smiled.
"You're pretty kind guy, well kind being," Ghost Girl remarked.
"Jackal is only doing this because Jackal's only helping," Jackal argued, though with a tint of redness in his face.
"Hey Jackal. Why's your face red?" Gladia teased.
"Silence!" The girls laughed at Jackal's bashfulness despite his retorting. Soon, Jackal made three copies of the log-out program, and the Girl Duo used the original programs to log-out the research team back to the real world.
Meanwhile, in the real world…
"Mr. Zaizen sir!" Zaizen's assistant entered his room. "The research team! They managed to log-out and are began waking up!"
"I see. That's good news to hear," Zaizen acknowledged.
'Aoi….They must have used the log-out programs I gave them. I know that was the only way for them to get out if they need it to, but it was the right thing to do and Aoi would've definitely done it. I trust her that she will be back safe and sound!' He thought.
Back to the unknown world, Playmaker's group continued flying through the windy valley, but unfortunately, their Ignis was also reaching their limit in strength.
"Uuuuh...this is how far I can go!" Ai said, tired out as he couldn't continue on.
Just as they stopped using the data storm, the rough winds died out and stopped, too.
"Hey, the winds stopped," Codebreaker announced
Just then, they reached at the end of the valley. In front of them, there was a giant floating temple in the middle of the wide canyon.
"What is that?" Ai asked.
"It looks like some kind of temple," Codebreaker said. "Maybe it's the Wind Temple! You know. From Legend of Zelda."
"That's a good guess, Master Yu, but I doubt that's what exactly is," Rossy admitted.
"Whatever it is, let's take a closer look," Playmaker decided.
The team flew closer to the strange floating temple. Once they landed, they noticed the lush green grasses, destroyed but not completely destroyed stairway to the temple itself, and small forest.
"It sure is quiet here," Soulburner said.
"Yes but too quiet," Playmaker nodded as he looked around.
Suddenly, they heard a loud thump sound. Out of the trees rose a strange blob-like creature revealed with one eye.
Flame gasped and said, "That… That's the same monster! The one that destroyed the Cyberse World!"
"What!?" Ai gasped.
"Unbelievable!" Rossy said, surprised.
The monster roared at the heroes as they stood their ground even against the fearful presence of this monster.
"HA, HA, HA!" They stopped and heard a laughter. Out of nowhere, a light-green Ignis with red eyes and darker green markings over its body appeared, laughing while holding its stomach. It floated in front of the monster, which stopped moving.
"You're alive!" Ai gasped.
"What's the meaning of this, Wind Ignis?!" Flame demanded.
"You all should've seen your faces!" The Wind Ignis laughed.
"Do you all like my prank?" He asked with a troll expression.
"That was too far!" Ai complained.
"I agree with Ai," Flame said in an angry tone. "But at least you seem to be doing OK."
"Your sick joke even made Flame nearly fart himself," Ai stated.
"You would do that. Not me," Flame responded.
"My bad, my bad, but you guys can fart now? You two had been hanging with the human too long. Actually, I expected you all to come here eventually and I'm also glad that you two are alive and well, too!" The Wind Ignis said delightfully. "Hey Echo, you can turn back normal now."
The "monster" changed its shape into a strange humanoid being. Wind Ignis rested on the being's wrist, like how Ai, Flame, and Rossy are on their partner's duel disk.
"This is my AI assistant that I created. His name is Echo." Wind Ignis introduced Echo.
"Hello. I am Master's assistant, Echo," Echo greeted.
He then turned to look at Rossy with a curious, yet questionable expression.
"And who are you? I don't recall you back in the Cyberse World," said the Wind Ignis.
"Greeting, Wind Ignis. My name is Rossy and I am an Ignis like you, Ai, and Flame," Rossy greeted.
"She's actually a Prototype Ignis, created by Dr. Kogami and his assistants before they created us," Ai revealed to the Wind Ignis.
"Really? Well, what a surprise!" The Wind Ignis exclaimed. "And since she is a female, that makes the Water Ignis not the only female Ignis in existence!"
"So what have you been doing, Wind Ignis? What is this place?" Ai asked.
"Hmmm...You know. That name sounds a bit too formal for an Ignis like me," said the Ignis. "I know! I have a better name. Call me Windy!"
Nobody spoke a word of it as awkward silence occurred.
"Oh, I get it! Because you are Wind Ignis, so your name is Windy!" Codebreaker realized it.
Ai flipped back himself comically as Flame just shrugged with his hand over his face. Rossy just stared in silence.
"So you must be Codebreaker, one of the heroes of LINK VRAINS. Next to you is Soulburner and next to him is Playmaker, another hero of LINK VRAINS," Windy analyzed.
"Windy, we would like to ask you some questions," Playmaker said.
"Sure. Let's take it inside my place. It's more comfortable talking there than talking here," Windy decided.
He bought them to a private garden inside the temple. Codebreaker blew a whistle and said, "Wow. Nice garden, Windy."
"Haha. Thanks. I made it myself, you know. I collected some data materials floated around this area and created this entire world," Windy said.
"Why did you create this world?" Playmaker asked.
"Well, first reason is to lure my friends, which it worked!" Windy said joyfully. "Once everyone is here, we can rebuild the Cyberse World!"
"That does sound very logical and promising," Rossy said.
"Rebuild the Cyberse World..." Ai repeated.
"That is something I would do and wish to do," Flame said.
"The second reason is also to lure the enemies and traps them here, so I can take revenge for the destruction of the Cyberse World. I can't allow whoever did it get away with it!" Windy exclaimed.
"I'm surprised that you feel that way and have that kind of passion," Flame noted.
"I may look calm most of the time, but even I have a feeling of vengeance, too you know," Windy said. "But forget about that. Now that you and Ai are here, let's rebuild the Cyberse World."
He then turned to Rossy and said, "And you can help, too. With four of us, it should be enough to at least restore some parts of the Cyberse World."
"That does sound a good idea. According to my calculation, with four Ignis, at least somewhere between 50 – 60 percent of the Cyberse World can be rebuild," Rossy stated.
"Wow! You can make calculation very well," Windy remarked, gasped. "I'm starting to like you, Rossy! You sure are a lot smarter than Ai here."
"Hey! What's that supposed to mean?!" Ai barked.
"That does sound like a good idea, but we actually have something more urgent right now, Windy," Codebreaker said.
"Right," Playmaker nodded. "You see, Windy, we're here to look for a guy named Bowman, who came through the gate. He and his allies have stolen consciousness data, and we want it back. We believe that he may have passed through here. Have you ever detected him or anyone else passing by here?"
"Bowman? Never heard of him," Windy replied.
"What about the Beast? They all came through the Gate and it led to here,"Codebreaker said.
"Sorry, but I have not seen or detected anyone who came through the gate and to this world," Windy admitted honestly. "But there was something that was detected at the edge of this world."
"Really? That could be them!" Soulburner stated.
"If Bowman and the Beast or their allies have not been detected once they were through the gate, then could it be possible that they are hiding from your presence and created a world of their own?" Rossy questioned.
"Hmmm...A world hidden in my world….Well, that's very clever!" Windy said with a gleam.
"You take this too lightly," Flame noted.
"Then we should go to the edge of the world to find out. Bowman and the others must be there!" Ai declared.
"Windy, could you lead us some help in our mission?" Playmaker asked.
"Hmmmm….." Everyone waited his answer with bit of anticipation. "I deny it."
"What?! But why?" Ai asked.
"Unlike you three, I don't trust humans so easily. Ever since the Hanoi attacked our world and you hid it away, the other Ignis and I had a discussion, Ai," Windy admitted.
"A meeting?" Ai asked as he turned to Flame. "Is that true?"
"It's the same meeting I discussed with you before where we, the other five, discussed over our future plan with humanity," Flame said.
"Oh, that's right," Ai remembered.
"We discussed about whether to trust the human or not. For me, I voted not to trust the humanity and truthfully, I really don't trust humans at all. They see us as an enemy, which really stirs me up if you know what I mean," Windy said, with a bit of seriousness in his eyes.
"Well, you can trust us, right?" Codebreaker asked. "We're only asking for your help, and we're not here to hurt you or anything."
"Hmmmm…." The Wind Ignis gave himself to think it over.
"We understand how you feel about humanity, Windy," Rossy said. "However, without your help, then we cannot retrieve back the consciousness data for the younger brother of Mr. Playmaker's acquaintance, and we cannot be assured you that this world you created is safe from harm by the unknown foe that we're facing. If you help us, then we promise that you'll be safe."
"Hmmm….OK. But you guys have to do me a favor first!" He stated as he showed them a hologram of three familiar avatars. "Could you all take care of these intruders?"
Playmaker's eyes widened as he saw who the intruders are. "Ghost Girl!" He shouted.
"And that Gladiator Beast's chick!" Ai exclaimed.
"What are they doing here?" Soulburner questioned.
"The only way to find out is to meet them in-person," Flame said.
"Then, let's go and see!" Codebreaker declared.
- Codes of Secrets -
The girls flew through the rough winds of the valley, but it dwindled down and then stopped completely.
"The winds…. They have stopped," Ghost Girl said.
"Now we can able to breeze through this valley," Gladia teased.
"Jackal thinks that's a bad pun. Gladia shouldn't say anymore pun," Jackal chastised.
"Hey look!" Blue Girl exclaimed as familiar male trio flew by them and then next to them.
"Well, long time no see, Playmaker. You too, Codebreaker," Ghost Girl greeted.
"Ghost Girl..." Playmaker mumbled. He then turned to Blue Girl, but he didn't recognize who it is.
"It's pleasure to meet you again, Playmaker. It's been awhile since the time with the Tower of Hanoi," Blue Girl said.
"Who are you?" Playmaker asked, but then a second later, he remembered her. "Are you...Blue Angel?"
"Oh! You're Blue Angel! It's honor to meet you maim!" Soublurner exclaimed. "And your new avatar looks pretty awesome!"
"Woah! Are you really Blue Angel? What's with the new look?" Codebreaker asked as he was curious.
Playmaker turned to Gladia and said, "And you're Gladia, along with your Ignis."
Gladia smirked and said, "Nice to see you again, Playmaker. You look as handsome as always."
"We've expected you to appear, Ghost Girl, but why are you with Blue Angel or Blue Girl now? Is she became your protegee?" Ai said teasingly.
"Something like that," Ghost Girl answered.
"So what are you all doing here?" Playmaker asked seriously.
"Well, Blue Girl and I are here to retrieve the Ignis and learn their intention," Ghost Girl admitted.
"Retrieve Ignis? Are you saying you and Blue Girl here working for SOL Tech ?" Soulburner asked.
"Well...Not exactly, but someone from SOL Tech hired us to do so," Ghost Girl smirked.
"Akira Zaizen..." Playmkaer stated.
"That's right," she nodded. "While we were heading here, we also met up with Gladia and her Ignis friend here."
"I'm just tagging along with my new BFF," Gladia said.
"Temporarily." Jackal spoke up.
"And why does Akira Zaizen wants to retrieve us, the Ignis?" Flame asked. "He's the one who hired those bounty hunters to capture us, so why does he have to send you girls?"
"There are three reasons why he would do that," Playmaker said. "One, so that he can learn about the Ignis. Two, he fears that the bounty hunters would give it to the SOL Tech directly and Zaizen wouldn't get a chance to learn the Ignis for himself. He was most likely ordered by the higher-up to just retrieve the Ignis. And three, not only that he wants to learn the Ignis' intention, if he does, then he can also learn what's the reason why SOL Tech wants the Ignis."
"If my calculation is correct, 99.9 percent would be for profit," Rossy stated.
"Well, I say that's bogus! Using the Ignis just to make money sounds like slavery to me!" Codebreaker argued.
"But my….. I mean, Akira Zaizen only wants to help you guys. I learned from him that you all three, Playmaker, Soulburner, and Codebreaker are part of the Lost Incident," Blue Girl admitted.
"First, Playmaker and Soulburner are the victims of the Lost Incident and you, Codebreaker, your father was part of the team who created the prototype Ignis, who is Rossy." This surprised the trio a little bit, but they expected much since Akira Zaizen can able to retrieve such information.
- Flashback -
"What?" Aoi gasped with her eyes wide opened. "Codebreaker….Yu Akira's father was part of the Hanoi Project?!"
"That's right." His brother nodded. "Yu Akira, Codebreaker's father, Dr. Morse Akira was a programmer who aided Dr. Kogami, the lead scientist of the Hanoi Project, to create an Ignis. They only worked on making the prototype Ignis. During that time, they used young Yu Akira to help their experiement by dueling in a simulation to create the first prototype Ignis. That simulation exerpiment was the same one that was used for the lost six children of the Lost Incident later on. After they accomplished their goal, Dr. Akira and his team finished their cooperation with Dr. Kogami, and well...for the rest of the story, you can piece them together."
"Well, that explains everything," Emma said.
"So that means that pink Ignis thing in Yu's duel disk….Rossy is an Ignis," Aoi summarized.
"That's right. I never expected that transforming robot to be Rossy, but that is its true form," Zaizen said. "The reason I am telling you both this so that I can ask this; would you two work for me to retrieve the Ignis before the SOL's bounty hunters do?"
This surprised Aoi and Emma.
"Ho, I see..." Emma smirked. "You don't trust those bounty hunters, do you? They may be possibly that either they give it to SOL Tech's higher-up directly or sell it to someone else?"
"I only want to learn more about the Ignis, and find out the truth of SOL Tech's goal with the Ignis. There are just many questions left unanswered after the Tower of Hanoi and since then, I decided to find out the truth," he asserted. "Then once I know the truth, maybe I can help the victims who were affected, including Playmaker or Codebreaker."
- Flashback Ends-
"Sorry, but you all have a wrong idea," Soulburner said with a smirk.
Blue Girl gasped a little as everyone then looked at Soulburner.
"The Lost Incident affected us tremendously and changed our life forever. If anything, SOL Technologies is also to blame for this incident to even happen," he said. "So why do we want help from the one who was involved with the incident?"
"Soulburner..." Flame looked at him.
Blue Girl looked a bit irritated at him and said, "Oh really? But your Ignis is the property of SOL Technologies, right? So technically, it doesn't belong to you."
"Blue Girl!" Ghost Girl exclaimed, as she was surprised to hear what she said.
"If you are not handing us the Ignis, then the only other way is to force you then," Blue Girl declared.
"So you want to duel?" Soulburner asked, though looking determined.
"Apparently that's the only way to settle this," Flame noted.
Ghost Girl sighed and said, "Whatever, but...there is just one question."
She then turned around to Gladia and said, "Just where do you fit into the mystery?"
Everyone thought the same thing. They all turned to Gladia, who was behind them all.
"Just exactly who are you, Gladia? And where did you get that White Ignis?" Ghost Girl asked.
"Funny. I was just thinking the exact same thing," Ai noted.
"You just thought up that now and agreed to what Ghost Girl said." Flame shot at him. "However, I agree. Exactly who or what are you?"
Gladia smirked and said, "Well, I guess it's time to reveal my secret. I'm here because… I want to duel you!"
She pointed directly at Codebreaker, which made him look to his left and then his right, and finally to himself.
"Wait, me?" He asked, confused.
"You came here all the way just to duel him?" Blue Girl asked, looking both surprised and sort of disbelieved.
"I have my reason, but I won't tell in front of you all and I'll only tell to Codebreaker if he agrees with me," Gladia stated.
"That's our plan. Gladia offers to form a temporary alliance with Ghost Girl and Blue Girl, so that we can meet Codebreaker," Jackal admitted.
"So that's why you ask us to join with you two," Ghost Girl said. "You're sneaking little mouse. What's your game?"
"Sorry, but I can't answer that to you. I'm only going to answer it to Codebreaker," she countered. "Come at me when you are ready, Codebreaker!"
She speed-up her D-Board, flying pass through them, causing some of them to wobble.
"I knew we should've not trust her!" Blue Girl exclaimed.
"What was that all about and why she only wants to talk with Codebreaker? Is she some kind of admirer or crazy fangirl?" Ai questioned.
"Not that I know of, but the next action is depend on my Master Yu's will," Rossy remarked.
"I don't know why, but if she wants a duel..." Codebreaker's eyes were hidden under his hair and then he revealed his face with a smile. "Then, I'll give her a duel!"
He sped up his D-Board, too, following after Gladia.
"Hey wait!" Ai shouted.
"Don't worry about him," Playmaker stated. "We have more urgent matter at hand."
Codebreaker chased after Gladia and in about less than a minute, he caught up with her.
"So your name is Gladia, or that's your avatar name, right?" He asked.
"Yup! The name's Gladia, a proud she-warrior with heart and iron gut!" Gladia exclaimed.
"Jackal did not know that human's organ is made of iron," Jackal said.
"That was just a figure of speech," she corrected as she sweat-dropped a little bit.
"So why do you ask to duel my master? And who is your Ignis?" Rossy asked.
"All will be answered in the duel, my little pink AI friend," Gladia said with a wink. "So let's begin then, shall we?"
"I'm looking forward to our duel, Gladia!" Codebreaker responded with excitement.
"SPEED DUEL!" They both shouted.
Codebreaker vs. Gladia
Codebreaker (4h): 4000 LP
Gladia (4h): 4000 LP
"I will go first!" Gladia declared. "I play the Field Spell: Colosseum – Cage of the Gladiator Beasts!"
A Field Spell appeared, showing what appeared to be a ruined colosseum with glowing blue lines all over the structure and a well in the middle. The card only appeared for a brief time.
"Then I summon Gladiator Beast Bestiari!" A winded humanoid being that resembled a bird in a green armor appeared. It flapped its wings to show off its power and confidence.
"I set a card and end my turn," she said, with one face-down briefly appeared and then disappeared.
"According to my record, Gladia uses Gladiator Beast Deck, which focuses on Special Summoning more monster when Gladiator Beast monster is attacked in battle," Rossy said.
"I see, but I really want to see what she can do with it!" Codebreaker looked pump. "Alright, Gladia! It's time to break some code!"
Post-Chapter Show
"Hey, everyone! This is Kitty here, in the house!" Kitty greeted excitedly.
"And Mimi's here, too," Mimi said calmly.
"This chapter was real fun, don't you think, Mimi?" Kitty asked.
"I guess so," Mimi nodded. "Let's get our new section of the show."
"That's right! Since no new card appeared in this chapter, today we're doing something a little different," Kitty said. "Introducing our new section...Character Profile!"
The TV monitor showed a black screen with a single splotlight on a folder that says "Confidential", with the title underneath it that says "Character Profile".
"In this section, we explain more in-depth detail about certain character that appeared in the chapter," Mimi explained.
"Right! And today's Character Profile is..." The TV monitor showed the white Ignis with gray marking and sharp orange eyes. "It's the one and only, Jackal, the White Ignis!"
"According to our profile, there's not much known about this guy, but he is nonetheless an Ignis. He seems to refer himself by his name and other people by their avatar name or even real name. This chapter shows that he also has a distrust on humans, but reason for that is unknown as of now," Mimi said, as she read the profile from the folder.
"Wow...That's short for our first Character Profile," Kitty said. "We can't just end our show this short!"
"Why not? At least then I can get more sleep," Mimi admitted, making the watching audience laughs.
"Why don't we do a Character Profile for this character next?" Kitty showed the next character. "It's time for Gladia!"
"Gladia is a mysterious avatar who appeared in Chapter 51. Not much is known about her, either, but according to what we have, she is 16 years old, female, has a voluptuous body, and uses Gladiator Beast Deck," Mimi said.
"I wonder what's she alike in the real world," Kitty thought aloud.
"Who knows. We will probably learn about her more in future chapters," Mimi stated.
"You're right, Kitty. Well, look at the time! It's time to wrap it up," Kitty said.
"Until next time, folks, enjoy the preview for the next chapter right after this," Mimi said.
"See you all later, alligator!"
Preview for Chapter 55
The warrior of heart, with a mysterious goal, challenges our hero, Codebreaker! Gladia uses her Gladiator Beast well, giving Codebreaker some hard time to counter it. Exactly why is she dueling him? Who is she really? And why does she have an Ignis?!
Gladia: What do you think, Codebreaker? I'm pretty good in a duel, maybe even better than you, don't you think?
Codebreaker: Oh, you're good, Gladia, but not better than me! I won't lose so easily!
Rossy: Master Yu seems to be enjoying this duel, but I hope he doesn't forget to ask why she asks to duel him.
Jackal: Rrrrraw! Yes, Gladia! Show him and his Ignis your power!
Next time in Yu-Gi-Oh VRAINS Codes of Secret, Battle in the Wind!
Codebreaker: Into the VRAINS!
Hello, guys! Another day and another chapter completed.
This chapter is based on episode 52 or 53 I think. I forgot which one was about the first time Windy appeared in the anime.
What do you think of Windy appearing first time in this story or in general? Next time, it will be the first duel between Codebreaker and Gladia.
My VRAINS story will be at the top priority for this year since I am interested in it, but I will work on my other story in my spare time, too, and I will take a break from writing this story after I finished three more chapters after this one.
Until then, see you guys later.
