Chapter 56
Enter The Beast's Den
Codebreaker had reached the edge of the world. They just got out of the valley and now they were flying above the yellow clouds and all they see was empty space, with the clouds below them.
"This is the edge of the world? It looks more like we're at the top of the sky, but I don't see anything," Codebreaker said.
Suddenly, the entire space or the world shook like an earthquake, making them wobble on the D-Board.
"Wooooh! What's going on?!" Codebreaker cried, surprised.
"I do not know, but my sense is detecting that…. Move out of the way, Master Yu!" Rossy yelled.
Codebreaker moved out of the way just as a strange giant statue appeared out of the clouds, rising up into the sky. Two giant stone statues of beasts appeared with a single platform that looked an arena in the center. The two stone statues were a lion on one side and tiger on the opposite side, with their paws on the center platform and their mouths opened.
"Master Yu, look down there on the platform!" Rossy pointed.
He looked down to see The Beast and Darkside standing on the platform, looking at them as they waited for him.
"It appears to be they're expected us to come here," Rossy said.
"Let's go down," Codebreaker decided as he flew down and landed on the floating center platform.
"Greeting, Codebreaker," Darkside announced as he was standing in the front. "It's pleasure to meet you again."
"It's nice to meet you, too, but no offense, we're not here for a friendly greeting," Codebreaker said. "A guy named Bowman stole a friend of mine's younger brother's consciousness and we want it back."
"Sorry, but I don't have a consciousness data with me," Darkside answered. "In the meantime, why don't you have a little fun with my pet?"
Darkside flew away on his personal round-shape D-Board. The Beast opened its eyes, despite glowing in red instead of yellow. She looked at Codebreaker and then roared so loud that it echoed and shook the entire air space in the world.
"Damn! Like I said before, The Beast could be louder than even a metal rockstar!" Codebreaker remarked, covering his ears.
The Beast stopped roaring and growled at Codebreaker.
"Grrrr… Codebreaker...My enemy….Must be defeated! I will defeat you for revenge!" She shouted.
"It looks like The Beast wants a revenge match with you, Master Yu!" Rossy stated.
"No problem! It's just what I wanted! I'm feeling fire up, too!" Codebreaker looked more excited than afraid. "OK, Beast! Do you want a rematch? I'll give you a rematch!"
"Codebreaker!" She yelled. "You will be defeated by my hand as a punishment for what your father did to me!"
"Wait? What did you just say about my dad?" Codebreaker asked, with his wide eyes.
"Rrrrrrrrawwwww!" She roared again, making Codebreaker and Rossy cover their ears.
"DUEL!" They both shouted.
Codebreaker vs. The Beast
Codebreaker (5h): 4000 LP
The Beast (5h): 4000 LP
"My turn!" The Beast started the duel first. "I summon Elemental Beast Calcium Hummingbird!"
The new monster was a hummingbird with light pink clay-like, yet metallic colored body with a long brown stinger-like beak. Its eyes were blue like sapphire as it constantly flapped its wings. A periodic symbol for Calcium was on its backside.
Elemental Beast Calcium Hummingbird-Level 4, WIND, Winged-Beast/Effect, 800 ATK, 0 DEF.
"Then I Special Summon Elemental Beast Hafnium Wolf!" An indigo wolf appeared as it howled, summoning next to Calcium Hummingbird. "If I control an Elemental Beast monster, I can Special Summon this card from my hand to the field."
"Appear! The circuit that awakens the beast within the man's heart!" The Link Square portal appeared in the middle of the arena.
"She's going to Link Summon!" Codebreaker exclaimed as he pondered. "I wonder if she's going to Link Summon the one that looked like the whale from last time."
"Do you mean Elemental Beast Sodium Humpback, Master?" Rossy said. "Possibly, but the probability is unsure as of now."
"Arrowheads confirmed! The summoning condition is two Elemental Beast monsters, with at least one EARTH monster! I set my Elemental Beast Calcium Hummingbird and Hafnium Wolf in the Link Markers!"
The two monsters turned into light brown and purple twisters, sucking into the arrows and turning them red.
"Link Summon! Appear! Link 2! Elemental Beast Titanium Taurus!" A giant bull with a silver, metallic body and glowing red eyes appeared. Its horns were white and sharp, and the periodic symbol for Titanium printed on the side of its torso area. It also wore a gold ring on its nose.
Elemental Beast Titanium Taurus-Link 2, EARTH, Beast/Link/Effect, 2100 ATK. Link Arrow: Bottom-Left, Bottom-Right.
"Elemental Beast Titanium Taurus's effect!" She declared. "If this card points to no monster, then it can inflict 800 points of damage to your Life Points!"
"Say what?" Codebreaker gasped.
"Titanium Taurus, use Metal Rage!" Titanium Taurus's body turned red as it blew out steam through its nostrils. It toppled its foot and then ran over Codebreaker.
"Aaah!" He screamed as he was rammed over by the giant bull.
Codebreaker (5h): 4000 – 800 = 3200 LP
"I set three cards and end my turn!" She finished and then pointed at her opponent accusingly like a certain lawyer video game. "This is what you get for what your father did to me!"
The Beast (0h): 4000 LP
"What are you talking about? Do you know my dad and what do you mean what he did to you?" Codebreaker asked.
"I agree with my Master. Please explain," Rossy demanded.
"Rrrrrw…. You don't get it, do you? Just make your move, so I can finish you quick!" The Beast snarled at him.
"She doesn't seem to want to cooperate in a talk, Master Yu," Rossy noted.
"Yeah, but maybe we can make her talk by dueling," Codebreaker said as he then focused on his duel. "My turn! I draw!"
He looked over the cards he has in his hand and knew what to do.
"Be careful, Master Yu. The Beast, she only has one monster, but she also has three set cards. According to my calculation, it's most likely traps to prevent your monster attack, negate the activation, and destruction negation" Rossy warned.
"No worry, Rossy! We won't find out what the cards are until I make a move!" Codebreaker replied. "Let's break some code! I summon F# Bug Wyrm!"
Out of the portal, a green caterpillar appeared. Its body had glowing yellow lines over it with two beady red eyes with blank pupils. Its mouth was a small red pincer and had multiple, tiny yellow spikes for had two small white horns sticking out on the top of its head.
F# Bug Wyrm-Level 1, LIGHT, Cyberse/Effect, 0 ATK, 0 DEF.
"Then I Special Summon C# VGAgro Brawler!" The next new monster was an orange and red humanoid. Its body glowed with the orange cybernetic look with red boxing gloves. His eyes were green visors with a dark gray helmet.
C# VGAgro Brawler-Level 4, FIRE, Cyberse/Effect, 1500 ATK, 100 DEF.
"This monster can be Special Summoned from my hand if I control a Level 3 or lower Cyberse monster," Codebreaker explained. "Appear! I input the code to the circuit of hope!"
A Link Square portal opened up in the sky above him as he started the summoning chant.
"Arrowheads confirmed! The summoning condition is two Level 4 or lower Cyberse monsters! I set my F# Bug Wyrm and C# VGAgro Brawler in the Link Markers!" His two monsters turned into green and orange twisters, turning two link arrows red.
"Link Summon! Appear! Link 2 C# DVInterfacer!" The new Link Monster summoned looked like a Zaku mobile suit with big yellow lens for the eye, metal claws for hands, and black color for the armored body.
C# DVInterfacer-Link 2, DARK, Cyberse/Link/Effect, 1200 ATK, Link Arrow: Left, Bottom.
"C# DVInterfacer's effect activates! It can Special Summon one Cyberse monster from my hand or Deck, but when it leaves the field, it is banished! I Special Summon Knightmare Corruptor Iblee from my Deck!"
The purple-haired Cyberse maiden appeared with her usual cold expression.
"C# DVInterfacer's additional effect!" He continued. "This card's name can be treated the same as the monster it points to. I treat C# DVInterfacer with the name, Knightmare Corruptor Iblee."
The robot transformed into Knightmare Corruptor Iblee, looking like her except for the yellow lens for the eye in the center of the face.
"Appear! The circuit of hope!" The Link Square appeared for a second time on his side. "The summoning condition is one Knightmare monster! I set my C# DVInterface treating its name as Knightmare Corruptor Iblee to the Link Marker!" His monster turned into a dark purple twister, sucking into one arrow on the circuit.
"Link Summon! Appear! Link 1 Knightmare Mermaid!"
A blue mermaid-like creature appeared in the Extra Monster Zone. It had blue hair with two, huge horns and strange blue ring that was part of its body as it attached on the side of its waist to connect to the ring.
"He used a Link-2 C# DVInterfacer to Link Summon a Link-1 monster. What is he planning?" Darkside asked to himself.
"I re-input the code to the open the circuit again!" The Link Square appeared for the third time, but this time it appeared on the ground at his side of the field. "Arrowheads confirmed! The summoning condition is one monster with 1000 or lower ATK! I set my Knightmare Corruptor Iblee to the Link Marker!"
She turned into purple twisters, absorbing into the top arrow as it turned red.
"Link Summon! Appear! Link 1! C# Floppy!" A giant black frog with square-shaped head and disk on its backside appeared as it croaked. It was summoned next to Mermaid's bottom Link arrow.
C# Floppy-Link 1, DARK, Cyberse/Link/Effect, 0 ATK, Link Arrow: Top.
"I activate Knightmare Maiden's effect!" He exclaimed. "If it is Link Summoned, I can discard one card to Special Summon a Knightmare monster from my Deck, and if this card was Co-Linked with another monster when this effect was activated, I can draw a card."
"What?" The Beast said in a surprised tone.
"I Special Summon Astro Knightmare Idolee!" A monstrous female creature appeared, with Level 9 and ATK of 2100 points. "Then, I draw a card!"
"Additionally with Knightmare Maiden's effect, all monsters on the field lose 1000 ATK and DEF unless they are Co-Linked! Knightmare Drain!" Knightmare Maiden began singing. Her singing was so enchanting that it caused all monsters that aren't Co-Linked to glow in a blue aura, causing their ATK and DEF to go down.
"With that, Elemental Beast Titanium Taurus has 1100 ATK points. So for Astro Knightmare Idolee," Darkside noted.
"You're doing well, Master Yu. With this, you can now destroy her monster," Rossy said.
"Not yet! I am going much further than this!" Codebreaker exclaimed.
"What? There's more?" The Beast questioned.
"Yes, there's more!" He answered. "And let me show it to you! I activate F# Bug Wyrm's effect from my Graveyard! By discarding a Polymerization or Fusion Spell Card, I can Special Summon itself from my Graveyard!"
The green caterpillar monster reappeared on the field. "Then, after this effect was activated, I can perform Fusion Summon this turn!"
"What?!" The Beast gasped while Darkside looked surprised, yet interested.
"I fuse my Knightmare Maiden, C# Floppy, and F# Bug Wyrm!" The three monsters turned into blue, green, and red particles, and then twisters of the same color each. "Three souls come together, creating a new code that surpasses evolution! Fusion Summon! Appear! C# Knightmare Lord!"
The new Fusion Monster appeared with bright light but soon darkened before a light reappeared in the form of glowing yellow orb with a shadowy aura around it. Six detached wings that looked angelic and devilish encircled around the orb, composing of multiple colors that change constantly.
C# Knightmare Lord-Level 8, LIGHT, Cyberse/Fusion/Effect, 2700 ATK, 1800 DEF.
"A new C# Fusion monster!" Darkside exclaimed.
"Congratulations, Master Yu. You summoned C# Knightmare Lord successfully," Rossy praised him.
"C# Knightmare Lord's effect activates! When this card is summoned, I can Special Summon a Knightmare monster from my Extra Deck with 1 Link Rating greater than the Link Rating of the Fusion Material Knightmare Link Monster!"
"The Fusion Material was that Link 1 Knightmare Maiden, so that means..." The Beast said.
"I Special Summon a Link 2 Knightmare monster and this summoning is treated as Link Summon!" A Link portal appeared on the field. "Link Summon! Appear! Link 2! Knightmare Phoenix!" A red, fiery bird flew out of the portal as it screeched strongly, showing off its beautiful, blazing red wings.
"Now I activate my Quick-Play Spell, Link Scavenging!" The said Spell revealed, showing some people searching in the mountains of trains with some parts of Link Monsters, like Borreload Dragon's gun barrel, Decode Talker's sword, Encode Talker's shield, and Trickstar Holly Angel's whip.
"When did you ever had that card in your Graveyard?" The Beast questioned, but then she remembered. "Wait! Of course! You discarded it when you used Maiden's effect!"
"That's right, and to continue on, when I summoned a Link Monster, I can Special Summon a Link Monster from my Graveyard, with equal Link Rating to the summoned monster's Link Rating! Come out! Link 2 C# DVInterfacer!" The transforming robot reappeared next to Phoenix's right Link arrow.
"Knightmare Phoenix's effect activates! If this card is Link Summoned, I can discard 1 card to target one Spell or Trap Card you control and destroy it! I choose the one in the middle!" Beast's middle Set card flipped up, turning into sparkles as it was destroyed. "Since Knightmare Phoenix is Co-Linked with this effect was activated, I get to draw a card!"
"Since Knightmare Phoenix's right arrow is co-linked with C# DVInterfacer's left arrow, this effect can be applied," Rossy noted.
"But I am not over just yet! C# Knightmare Lord's second effect activates!" He exclaimed. "When it is Linked with Knightmare Link Monster, it cannot be destroyed by card effect!"
"Nani?" Darkside was surprised.
"And monster summoned by the effect of Link Scavenging cannot attack this turn, but I can still attack with the other three monsters! Battle!" He declared. "First, Knightmare Phoenix will attack your Titanium Taurus! Red Moon Blaze!"
Phoenix flew up into the sky as high as it can. Its body glowed inside a flaming, red orb that looked like a moon, and then sky-dived directly at the metal bull.
"I won't allow you! Trap activates, Elemental Roar!" One of her remaining set cards revealed, which showed Elemental Beast Sulfur Leopard roaring at Red-Eyes Black Dragon, which it responded cowardly. "If Elemental Beast monster is attacked by a monster with higher ATK than its ATK, that attack is negated, and the attacking monster is destroyed!"
"Say what?!" Codebreaker gasped as the giant metal bull gave out a powerful roar, making Phoenix stopped attacking and cowered in fear before it disappeared from the field.
"Phoenix's effect can protect co-linked monsters from being destroyed by battle, but it cannot protect co-linked monsters from being destroyed by a card effect," Rossy stated.
"Then, I will attack with C# Knightmare Lord! Knightmare Vortex!" The orb turned into a black hole, sucking Titanium Taurus into it. It turned back to its original form shortly, leaving the Beast's Life Points affected.
The Beast (0h): 4000 – 1600 = 2400 LP
"Then, I declare Astro Knightmare Idolee to attack you directly!" He followed up, but the Beast smirked to this.
"I counter that attack by activating Elemental Roar's additional effect!" The Beast exclaimed. "By banishing it from my Graveyard, I can negate a direct attack by my opponent's monster and then add one Elemental Beast monster from my Graveyard! I add my Elemental Beast Hafnium Wolf!"
"Dang it. She's managed to protect herself this turn pretty well," Codebreaker remarked.
"Something is not right," Rossy said. "Her moves…. She's more calculated. Actually thinking wiser than the last time. Stay alert, Master Yu."
"OK," he nodded in agreement. "I set a card and end my turn."
Codebreaker (1h): 3200 LP
"My turn! I draw!" The Beast roared as she now had two cards in her hand. "I summon my Elemental Beast Hafnium Wolf!"
The Beast (1h): 2400 LP
The indigo wolf appeared as it howled for battles.
"At this turn, I activate my Skill, Beast Pride!" She declared.
Both Codebreaker and Rossy were surprised.
"Wait! Hold up! You cannot do that! That only works in Speed Duel!" Codebreaker exclaimed.
"Nothing binds me, and I do as I please!" The Beast argued as the lines over her body glowed in red color. The sky also became darkened as lightning struck around them.
"Rrrrraawww!" She roared. "When my opponent controls more monster than I do, have lower Life Points than my opponent's Life Points, and if I only control Elemental Beast monster on my side of the field, then I can Special Summon Elemental Beast monsters from my hand, deck, or Graveyard equal to the number of monsters my opponent controls!"
Three portals appeared on her side of the field.
"Come out! My Elemental Beasts!" Three monsters appeared or reappeared on her side of the field; Elemental Beast Calcium Hummingbird, Elemental Beast Titanium Taurus, and a brand-new monster that looked like a German Shepard dog with dark purple, metallic body.
"I summon my Elemental Beast Calcium Hummingbird, Titanium Taurus, and Germanium Shepherd!" She announced.
Elemental Beast Germanium Shepherd-Level 4, DARK, Beast/Effect, 1800 ATK, 1000 DEF.
"Elemental Beast Germanium's effect activates!" She declared. "When this card is Special Summoned, I can target one Link Monster that my opponent controls and draw cards equal to that targeted monster's Link Rating! I choose your C# DVInterfacer to draw two cards!"
She drew two cards, but she wasn't finished just yet. "I discard the Link Spell Judgment Arrows!"
"She's discarding that Link Spell card!" Codebreaker gasped.
"What is the Beast even planning or doing?" Rossy questioned.
"I discard it so I can add one Trap Card from my Graveyard and set it, but I can activate it immediately after I set it this turn! Link Trap opens: Den of the Elemental Beast!"
"Link Trap?!" Codebreaker and Rossy were even more surprised.
The new, never-before-seen Link Trap showed a chamber full of different Elemental Beast monsters with one scared Goblin warrior surrounded by the beasts, with nowhere to escape from them. It had three arrows, pointing her three Main Monster Zones from the middle Spell & Trap Zone.
"Now, appear! The circuit that awakens the beast within the heart of mankind!" The Link Square appeared, but this one was much bigger than the ones Codebreaker summoned.
"Arrowheads confirmed! Summoning condition is three or more Elemental Beast monsters, except for Tokens! I set my Link 2 Titanium Taurus, Calcium Hummingbird, and Germanium Shepherd to the Link Markers!"
Her three monsters, with the first one split into two, turned into two silver twisters, one green twister, and another purple twister. All four twisters shoot into the arrows, turning them red.
"Link Summon! Appear, the great King of the Elemental Beast! Link 4! Elemental Beast Neon King Leo!" The lightning struck down in the middle of the field as a silhouette of a giant lion appeared.
The lightning struck again, with the giant beast revealed itself as it roared horrifically loud, making Codebreaker and Rossy cover their eyes for protection.
It was a giant-sized lion with white body. It had golden claws for its four paws, with some blood red edges. Its eyes glowed in neon light color mixed together. Its white mane flickered with different color composed of all the colors in the rainbow spectrum, starting from red to purple. It also had a spiky mace-like ball attached at the end of its tail. Yellow star symbol laid on the center of its forehead. Appearance wise, it reminded of Solageo from Pokemon Sun version. It was summoned next to the Link Trap card's top arrow.
Elemental Beast Neon King Leo-Link 4, LIGHT, Cyberse/Effect, 3000 ATK, Link Arrow: Top-Left, Top-Right, Bottom-Right, Bottom-Left.
"Woah! That's one big kitty!" Codebreaker remarked with his wide eyes.
"Not only that but this monster… It is a Cyberse-type!" Rossy exclaimed.
"I've never seen a Cyberse-type monster like it before!" Codebreaker stated.
"Good. With her ace monster finally on the field, Codebreaker has little to no chance to win," Darkside snickered.
"Elemental Beast Neon King Leo's quick effect!" She announced. "Once per turn, when it is pointing to Extra Deck Monster, that monster's effect is negated and destroyed! Neon Roar!"
Her monster gave out a powerful roar, making them cover their ears again. The roar shattered his monster into pieces by its sheer force until it stopped roaring.
"Then, I take control of that destroyed monster and place it face-up on the field next to a card's Link. I place your C# Knightmare Lord to my Leo's left side!" Codebreaker's Fusion Monster reappeared, but this time on the enemy's side.
"Your monster can allow you to take control of mine?! It sounds the same as my Cyber Magician Girl's effect," Codebreaker said.
"Now, my Link Trap, Den of the Elemental Beast's effect activates!" She declared. "When a non-Elemental Beast monster is summoned next to its Link, that monster is destroyed, and you take 100 points of damage each for that destroyed monster's Level, Rank, or Link Rating! I destroy your Level 8 C# Knightmare Lord to inflict 800 points of damage to your Life Points!"
Different Elemental Beast monsters, eight in total, jumped out of the Trap Card and pounced on Codebreaker with multiple attacks. It scratched and bit on him all over his body.
"Aaaarrrgh! Gaaahh! Aaaaaahh!" He screamed.
Codebreaker (1h): 3200 – 800 = 2400 LP
"Once I attack your Astro Knightmare Idolee with Neon King Leo, you will still have one monster left for protection. But that won't be the case when I play this Equip Spell Card! Heightened Sense!" She showed a card that showed agitated Elemental Beast Germanium Shepard with its snout all aroused an angry expression, barking with its mouth opened and fang revealed. "By equipping this to my Elemental Beast Neon King Leo, it can attack twice in a battle!?
"But that would mean, if Leo attacks, Master Yu will lose!" Rossy exclaimed.
"Yes! My revenge is within my grasp! It's time for some payback!" The Beast shouted.
"Wait, hold up!" Codebreaker stopped her. "You mentioned something about my dad! What's that about?"
"Your father….Grrr….Alright. Since this is your last duel, I will tell you!" She decided. "Your father, Dr. Akira, have experimented me to create an Ignis as part of the Hanoi Project!"
"What?!" Codebreaker and Rossy were very surprised at the highest level of disbelief.
"Illogical! That's clearly 100% false!" Rossy argued.
"I object, Pink Ignis!" The Beast countered. "You just don't know the full story, that's all."
"What do you mean, Beast? Explain," Codebreaker asked.
"It begins 10 years ago. I was just a normal girl, living a happy, normal life until that terrible incident happened," she said.
"The Lost Incident," Codebreaker mumbled.
"The next thing I knew, I was locked in that small room with just headgear and duel disk. I was forced to duel, day and night. Little did I know during that time, I was being watched by Dr. Kogami, the creator of Ignis, and his research assistants for creating an AI with free will, the Ignis. After a while, I and the other five children were saved, but soon after that, I have kidnapped again and this time by the hand of your father and Dr. Kogami's former assistant, Dr. Akira!"
"That can't be true," Rossy said.
"Silence, Ignis!" Rossy cringed to the Beast's shout. "Dr. Akira kidnapped me and did all kinds of a horrible experiment on me, turning me into what you see me right now!"
"But then...why are you here?" Codebreaker asked.
"Master Yu, don't tell me that you are actually believing her story?" Rossy asked.
"Calm down, Rossy. It's only just a question I ask her," Codebreaker reassured.
"Your father and his researchers put me into a coma state and left me. I slept for 10 years until Darkside and Bowman have awakened me, and thanks to them, I get a chance to get revenge for what your father did to me by destroying you for his sin!" The Beast yelled.
Codebreaker and Rossy couldn't believe it.
"Master Yu, this is all a nonsense! Your father would never do such a thing! It's clear that the Beast is just lying to get you confused and be unfocused!" Rossy stated.
"Yeah...but...I don't know. To be honest, I really don't know much about my dad's work, so I really don't know much about what he did in life," he said.
"Master Yu, believe me. Your father never has done such thing that the Beast here described. Her words are illogical lies that try to distract you in this duel," Rossy persuaded.
"With enough said, it's time to end this!" The Beast declared, catching their attention. "I destroy your C# DVInterfacter! Pride End!" Her ace monster leaped and slashed Codebreaker's monster with its sharp claw.
DVInterfacer cried in pain before it exploded.
Codebreaker (1h): 2400 – 1800 = 600 LP
"Just one more. Just one more attack and you're finished!" The Beast roared.
Codebreaker looked worried and nervous as the Beast's ace monster roared powerfully before them.

Post-Chapter Show
"Hey Y'all! This is Kitty in the house!" Kitty announced.
"And Mimi's here as well," she said. "Welcome to our..."
"Post-Chapter Show!" They announced together, praising with round of applaud.
"So, Kitty, what's this chapter's key card today?" Mimi asked.
"Today's key card is..." The monitor showed the new Link 4 monster. "Elemental Beast Neon King Leo!"
"Yeah! Finally, a giant cat LINK MONSTER!" Kitty announced excitedly.
"Kitty's here really wanted to see this happened, if you can't guess," Mimi stated.
"Oh boy! Today, I will be explaining what it is," Kitty declared. "Elemental Beast Neon King Leo is a Link 4, LIGHT Cyberse Link monster with attack of 3000. Its Link Arrows point to all diagonal arrows. You need at least three Elemental Beast monsters to Link Summon this giant powerful feline to the duel."
"That's right," Mimi nodded. "And what's unique about this Elemental Beast is its duel monster type. It is the first Cyberse-Type Elemental Beast monster!"
"Yup!" Kitty nodded in agreement. "And using its effect alongside the never-before-seen Link Trap, Den of the Elemental Beast, you would be crazy if you are going to Link Summon a monster to the Extra Monster Zone!"
"Not only for Link Monster, but its effect can affect any Extra Deck monsters. Fusion, Synchro, Xyz," Mimi noted.
"And Pendulum!" Kitty added.
"That would never happen, Kitty," Mimi said.
"What?! Come on! Pendulum for the win, Mimi!" Kitty argued.
"It won't work in Speed Dueling. Now get over with it!" Mimi scolded.
"Grrrrr..." Kitty mumbled.
"Anyway, we also have another important announcement from the author," Kitty said as she took out a note.
Dear All readers, season 2's first ending for this story will be out in future chapter. I promise to bring it out in the next chapter, and if it doesn't, then probably in the future chapter. Please be patient.
"The author sure keep a lot of promise that he never makes," Kitty remarked. "Anyway, I think that's all right, Mimi?"
"It seems so, Kitty," Mimi answered. "Well, with all that, please enjoy the preview for the next chapter."
"Until then, folks...See you later alligator!" They announced.
"Well, it's time for me to go and play my per-ordered Kingdom Hearts 3 PS4 Pro," Mimi said.
"WHHHHAATT?! You got the Kingdom Hearts 3 Limited Edition Playstation 4 Pro!" Kitty gasped. "I've tried to look for that for months!"
"The early bird gets the worm, Kitty," Mimi snickered.
