Chapter 57

Pride On the Line

Last time, Codebreaker started his rematch duel with the Beast. From their duel, the Beast revealed to our heroes that she was experimented by late Dr. Akira. Though, her story didn't add up, Codebreaker wasn't sure if she is telling a lie or truth.

Currently on Codebreaker's side of the field, he controlled only one monster; Astro Knightmare Idolee and one set card. On his opponent's side, the Beast controlled her ace monster, Elemental Beast Neon King Leo, Elemental Beast Halfnium Wolf, and one face-up Trap Card, a Link Trap called "Den of the Elemental Beast." Her ace monster was equipped with the Equip Spell, Heightened Sense, which allows her monster to attack twice this turn in exchange that it can't activate its effect until the end of the Damage Step. She also still had one set card in her Spell & Trap Zone.

Codebreaker (1h): 600 LP

The Beast (1h): 2400 LP

"Excellent," Darkside remarked as he was watching the duel from the top of the statue just behind the Beast. "Once she attacks one more time, she wins this duel."

"Are you ready to repent for your sin, Codebreaker?" The Beast said intimidatingly. "Elemental Beast Neon King Leo! Destroy his last monster with Neon Light Pounce!"

Her ace monster roared powerfully as energy gathered around itself. It jumped high into the air, turning into a round energy ball of neon rainbow color. Then, it pounced over Codebreaker's last monster, causing a huge explosion of light.

The light dimmed and everything was back to normal, but what the Beast realized surprised her.

"What? Impossible!" She gasped.

Codebreaker was still standing with his Life Points unchanged.

"How is he still have Life Points?" Darkside questioned.

"What did you do!" The Beast asked, demanding for an explanation.

"I activated C# Floppy's effect," Codebreaker answered. "As my monster would be destroyed by battle, I can Special Summon C# Floppy from my Graveyard to negate the damage from that battle."

The Beast recognized that C# Floppy was back on his field in the Main Monster Zone where Astro Knightmare Idolee was.

"Grrrr..." She growled. "I end my turn, and Elemental Beast Calcium Hummingbird's effect activates now! If Elemental Beast Link Monster attacked this turn, then by banishing this card from my Graveyard, I can gain 200 Life Points for each of that Link Monster's Link Rating."

"Elemental Beast Neon King Leo is a Link-4 monster, so therefore the Beast gains 800 Life Points," Rossy noted.

The Beast (1h): 2400 + 800 = 3200 LP

"Master Yu." He looked at his Ignis partner. "May I speak with you for a moment?"

"Sure, what's up, Rossy?" He said.

"I just want to make sure that...you don't believe in what the Beast said, right?" She asked, looking a bit of worry.

Codebreaker looked a bit surprise, but showed with a small grin. "I don't, Rossy. I know that my dad won't never do such thing. It's true that he created the Ignis, but he only created you, and you should know that more than I do. Whatever the Beast says about my dad, I know that they're not true because I believe they're not!"

"Master Yu…." Rossy looked at him with almost watery eyes. "Thank you."

"But we still have a duel to win and we need to beat Beast in order to prove that she's wrong!" He exclaimed as he focused back into the duel.

"I agree!" Rossy nodded as she looked determined.

"My turn! I draw!" He drew his card.

Codebreaker (2h): 600 LP

He looked over the two cards in his hand. He was really facing a huge odd this time, and he didn't have something to counter her, at least not yet.

"I guess I have to play safe and stall her for now," he whispered as he then picked one card in his hand. "I play the Continuous Spell, Zero Lag Zone!"

The said card showed an empty white void with two humanoid figure fighting, but stuck in motion while their body was glitching.

"By sending one random Link 3 or lower Link Monster from my Extra Deck to the Graveyard, I gain no damage by battle or card effect for a number of turn equal to the sent Link Monster's Link Rating," he explained. "And today's card I pick is….Link 3, C# Recycle Knight!"

The surrounding arena was covered inside a see-through white dome and inside it was empty white space, just like in the card's artwork. The monsters and the other cards on the field glitched a little, indicating the effect of the card.

"I won't let you!" The Beast clipped. "Counter Trap Opens! The Pack's Hunt!"

Her set card flipped up, revealing a Trap Card that shows a pack of Elemental Beast Hafnium Wolf surrounding a defenseless Elemental Beast monster that looks like a sheep.

"When my opponent activates a Spell or Trap Card, by sending one Elemental Beast monster from my side of the field to the Graveyard, I can negate that card and destroy it!" She pointed to her same monster that appears in the card. "I send my Hafnium Wolf to the Graveyard and destroy your Zero Lag Zone!"

"Oh no! That would leave Master Yu defenseless!" Rossy cried.

"Trap activates! Wires Trap!" His set card revealed to be a Trap Card, which showed a man stuck in the pile of wires and cables. "When my opponent activates a card that uses effect to destroy my Spell or Trap Card, it negates it and destroy it!"

"What?" The Beast gasped as the same wires and cables appeared, tangling all over her trap card and then destroyed it while Codebreaker's card was protected.

"Then, I activate C# Recycle Knight's effect!" He followed up. "When this card is sent to the GY by card effect or destroyed by battle, I can Special Summon it with 1000 ATK boost! Appear, C# Recycle Knight!"

The new Link Monster was an armored warrior with a helmet shaped of recycle bin and the green recycle symbol on its chest armor plate. It wielded a sword with yellow green recycle bin for the hilt part, and long square-shaped shield. It was summoned in the Main Monster Zone next to C# Floppy.

C# Recycle Knight-Link 3, EARTH, Cyberse/Link/Effect, 2000 ATK, Link Arrow: Top, Bottom-Left, Bottom.

"So for the next three turns, Codebreaker's Life Points would be untouched," Darkside noted.

"I set a card and end my turn," Codebreaker finished.

Codebreaker (0h): 600 LP

"How dare you to stop my Trap!" The Beast clucked. "You will pay for that! I draw!"

Just in time, Soulburner was on his D-Board, looking around to find Playmaker and Codebreaker. He and Flame just won the duel against Blue Girl.

"Where did they go? All I see is just endless clouds everywhere," Soulburner said.

"This world is wide. They could be anywhere, but we know that our path leads to here, so they must be here….somewhere," Flame stated.

Then, they noticed the huge stone structures where Codebreaker and the Beast were.

"What is that?" Soulburner asked.

"Whatever it is, let's us go there and find out!" Flame declared.

Soulburner flew over to the strange structure and soon noticed what was going on.

"It's Codebreaker!" he exclaimed. "He's in the duel!"

"Yes, and against the Beast. They actually found her," Flame noted. "And it seems like they're in a pickle."

"How did this all happened? Why's Codebreaker at 600 Life Points while his opponent's at 3200?" He asked.

"No clue, but I suspect it has to do with that lion lookalike monster on his opponent's field," Flame pointed, but then noticed something else. "What's this? There's a Link Card in her Spell and Trap Zone!"

"You're right, Flame! But it's not Judgment Arrows and I can tell by the color! That's a Trap Card!" Soulburner said.

"Battle! I declare my Elemental Beast Neon King Leo to attack your monsters! Since it is equipped with the Equip Spell – Heightened Sense, it can attack twice this turn! Neon Light Pounce!" Her ace monster turned into the shiny ball of energy before it pounced over his two monsters.

"That's just what I want you to do!" Codebreaker shouted.

"What's that?" She said, with her eyes wide.

"Trap activates! Cache Reset!" The said card showed C# Download Knight being reanimated while a silhouette of Decode Talker in the background. "When a Link-3 or lower Link Monster is destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, I can Special Summon one Level 4 or lower Cyberse monster from my Graveyard! Return, Knightmare Corruptor Iblee!"

The purple-haired Cyberse human appeared in Defense position with 0 DEF points.

"Then, I end my turn," The Beast scowled.

The Beast (2h): 3200 LP

"So far so good," Codebreaker said. "I only have two more turns while my Trap Card lasts. Hopefully it can hold up by then."

"According to my calculation, Master Yu, the Beast has higher chance of winning this duel unless if you counter her monster, Elemental Beast Neon King Leo on the field," Rossy stated.

"I know that, but I still haven't draw the right card to do that. I just have to draw it," Codebreaker replied as he placed his finger on the top of his deck. "I draw!"

Codebreaker (1h): 600 LP

"It appears to be Codebreaker's stalling the Beast until he gets the right card," Flame analyzed.

"Yeah, but it won't last long. That Trap Card of his, Zero Lag Zone only lasts for another two turns. It will be over by the end of the Beast's next turn," Soulburner mentioned.

"I set a card and end my turn," Codebreaker finished.

Codebreaker (0h): 600 LP

"That's it? He only set one card!" Soulburner exclaimed.

"It must be either Spell or Trap Card, but as long as his Zero Lag Zone is face-up on the field, then he won't gain any damage from a battle or card effect," Flame said.

"My turn! I draw!" The Beast drew her card and played it immediately. "Your time ends here, Codebreaker! I play the Spell Card, Mystical Space Typhoon!"

"No! That card!" Soulburner gasped.

"It can destroy a Spell or Trap Card on the field. Codebreaker is in trouble!" Flame exclaimed.

"Say goodbye to your only protection, Codebreaker!" The classic Spell Card appeared as a gust of winds, destroying the white dome.

"Due to the effect of Heightened Sense, my ace monster can attack you twice! Once Knightmare Corruptor Iblee is out of the way, your Life Point is all mine! Battle!" She declared. "Neon Pride Pounce!"

Her ace monster turned into an energy ball of light and pounced the poor Cyberse into oblivion by the force of the light.

"Now that's out of the way, you are bare bone. My revenge is finally within grasp. And, I can finally be free!" She stated.

"Then, tell me this," Codebreaker said. "When did you get kidnap by my father?"

"What?" She looked at him with a bit of confusion. "What kind of question is that?"

"Answer me, Beast. When did he kidnap you?" He asked.

"Why is he asking that question?" Soulburner thought aloud.

"My guess is good as yours," Flame said.

"Haven't you listen to what I said before? Your father kidnapped right after I was found! After what I experienced in the Lost Incident!" The Beast shouted.

Codebreaker smirked and said, "That's all I need to know."

"Huh? What do you mean by that?" She asked angrily.

"You said that my father kidnapped you and at first, I thought that make some sense, but after you answered the question I just asked you, I now know that what you said about my father is all just a lie," he answered.

"You think I'm a lier?!" She raged.

"Yes, you are because I know that my father couldn't kidnap you because he was with me that time! We were on a vacation just around the time after the Lost Incident happened!" He exclaimed.

"What?!" The Beast gasped.

"Ah! Of course! How could I forget that?! That's true! Your late father, Dr. Akira and you were on a vacation after the Lost Incident occurred!" Rossy remembered.

"Around the time after the Lost Incident, my dad and I were on a vacation. It was for few days, but it was the best time of my life because...well, it was also the last times that I ever hang out with my dad before he took his own life away. You claim that my father kidnapped you right after the Lost Incident, but that wouldn't make any sense because he was with me all the time. Therefore, what you say contradicts to what I know is the truth! What you know contradicts what I know!" Codebreaker argued.

He pointed at the Beast with his own Objection pose. The Beast was surprised. She couldn't believe, yet she had the memories of her getting kidnapped by Dr. Akira and the whole experiments.

"No! That can't be! What I experienced is real! There's no way what you say is the truth!" The Beast countered.

"You're just lying to me and yourself, Beast! I know because my memory is the real!" He shouted.

The Beast looked down at her hand, all shaking for no reason. Why was her hands shaking? Is it fear? No, was it that her memory isn't what it appears to be?

"No….No! I know what I experience is real! And I know that!" She roared. "Neon King Leo! Destroy him!"

Her monster roared before it pounced over Codebreaker.

"Codebreaker! No!" Soulburner shouted.

"Quick-Play Spell! Download Lag!" His set card revealed to be a Spell Card, which showed Gagaga Girl bickering and complaining at her Smartphone trying to download an app, but it was stopped at midway. "When my opponent declares a direct attack with a Link Monster, that attack is negated and I get to draw number of cards equal to that attacking Link Monster's Link Rating."

Neon King Leo is a Link 4 monster, therefore Master Yu draws four cards," Rossy explained.

Codebreaker (4h): 600 LP

"Curse you!" The Beast growled. "RRRraaawwww!"

"Her mind…. Her emotion…. She's becoming uncontrollable again. This is unexpected," Darkside said.

"I set a card and end my turn!" The Beast finished.

"Now, it's my turn and time for some counterattack!" Codebreaker exclaimed as he drew a card.

Codebreaker (5h): 600 LP

"Time to break some code! I summon my C# Download Knight!" One of his staple monsters appeared as it waved its sword around, looking determined as always. "I activate its effect! When it's Normal or Special Summoned, I can Special Summon another Level 4 or lower C# monster from my Deck or Graveyard. I Special Summon C# Data Miner straight from my Deck!"

The gnome with a digital pickax appeared. "And when he is Special Summoned, I get to draw two new cards." Following up, he drew two more cards from his deck. "Then, I play the Spell Card, Monster Reborn! I resurrect my Link 2 Knightmare Phoenix from the graveyard!"

The fiery phoenix was reborn, appearing on his side of the field.

"The condition is met!" He stated excitedly. "I play the Ritual Spell, C# Coding Ritual!"

The Beast and Darkside were surprised to see this.

"He can Ritual Summon?!" Darkside said in a surprised tone.

The lines on Codebreaker's body turned blue. The three monsters on his field turned into blue, green, and red codes, forming the magical seal with a single blue flame in the center.

"I reprogram three souls' codes to bring forth a mighty warrior with blade of courage and magical touch! Ritual Summon! Rise! Level 7, C# Pixel Paladin!"

The blue flame burst out into a bigger flame with a shadow of figure appeared in the flame. The flame disappeared, revealing the figure to be a female in heavy blue and white armor. The armor was bulky and big with yellow pixel star on each of the shoulder plate. Her eyes were purple and her skin was fair. The helmet she wore was very pixel-like with two horns. The most interesting part was her sword. The sword was also made up of pixel in red color for the hilt, and light bluish-silver color for the blade and greenish color for the edge of the sword.

C# Pixel Paladin-Level 7, LIGHT, Cyberse/Ritual/Effect, 2500 ATK, 2000 DEF.

"It's a new Cyberse Ritual monster!" Soulburner gasped.

"Congratulations, Master Yu. You Ritual Summoned C# Pixel Paladin successfully," Rossy said.

"Thanks and what's best about it is that Pixel Paladin won't be targeted or affected by Neon King Leo's effect since Ritual Monster is not an Extra Deck monster," Codebreaker noted. "Now, it's time for battle!"

"What?! Pixel Paladin has lower attack than Neon King Leo!" Flame exclaimed.

"C# Pixel Paladin's effect activates!" He declared. "When she battles a Link Monster, she gains 500 ATK for each Link Rating of that monster!"

"What? No!" The Beast shouted.

"Neon King Leo has Link Rating of 4, therefore Pixel Paladin gains total of 2000 ATK points," Darkside said.

The Ritual Monster's sword glowed in fiery blue aura, with her attack now at 4500. Neon King Leo and Pixel Paladin crashed with their weapon, but Pixel Paladin overpowered the lion, slashing it in half and then it exploded.

The Beast (1h): 3200 – 1500 = 1700 LP

"However! Thanks to my Link Trap, Den of the Elemental Beast, my Neon King Leo cannot be destroyed by battle!" Her ace monster resurrected automatically, roaring for its return. "With my Link Trap, my monster is invincible!"

"Even so, that doesn't guarantee a win for this duel!" Codebreaker argued. "C# Pixel Paladin's second effect! During the Battle Phase, if she attacked a monster, then I can Special Summon one Link Monster from my Graveyard to points to her! Rise and resurrect from death again, Knightmare Phoenix!"

The phoenix monster returned again. Its right arrow pointed to C# Pixel Paladin.

"What's good would that do?" The Beast questioned mockingly.

"This!" He answered straightforwardly. "If C# Pixel Paladin is linked, then it can attack again for second time! Go, Pixel Paladin! Pixel Beam!"

She slashed her sword, unleashing a crescent-shaped beam at Neon King Leo, but the Beast smirked to this and said, "Trap activate! Superiority Over!"

The said Trap showed Elemental Beast Neon King Leo roaring loudly on a large, cliff rock while other Elemental Beast monsters on the ground bowed to it as their king and ruler.

"If I were to take more 1000 damages, that damage is dealt to you instead! Even if what you say about your father is real or not, I still get my revenge in the end!" The Beast exclaimed.

"No way! Counter Trap! Link Counter Barrier!" A Trap Card appeared on his side, showing Encode Talker using its shield to block an attack while protecting Linkuriboh and other low-level monsters while the same attack is reflected back. "By banishing this card and one Link Monster in my Graveyard, I take no damage during this turn and if I control a Link Monster on the field, I can target that monster and my opponent takes damage equal to that monster's original ATK!"

"What?!" The Beast gasped.

The same shield used by Encode Talker appeared, blocking the attack and then Knightmare Phoenix flew high into the sky, turning into a flaming bird.

"Go, Knightmare Phoenix! Solar Dive!" Knightmare Phoenix sky-dived over the Beast, consuming her and her ace monster with her.

"Aaaarwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwaaaa!" She screamed as she fell over her back.

The Beast: 0 LP

Codebreaker WINS!

"And that's game," Codebreaker claimed.

"Awesome, Codebreaker!" He looked up to see Soulburner as he landed down to reunite him.

"Hey, Soulburner! You were watching?" He asked.

"Of course, and man, I got to say that was one, hot counterattack!" Soulburner praised.

"I agree. Though, I would say that it's much better counter than what my partner here did in our duel moment ago," Flame stated.

"Hey! I did my best, you know," Soulburner mumbled.

"Congratulations, Codebreaker." The heroes looked back to Darkside, who was being put on a floating platform for her. "You defeated the Beast for second time and thanks to you, she will become much stronger."

"What do you mean by that? What is your plan?" Rossy questioned.

"The time for answer to that is not right now, but soon, you will know. Until then." Darkside and Beast disappeared after that. That was when the arena they were standing on and the statues started to break apart while the whole world started shaking.

"Whoa! What's going on?!" Codebreaker exclaimed.

"Master Yu, the whole world is shaking! We must log-out now!" Rossy warned.

"But first, we got to find Playmaker and make sure he's alright!" Soulburner stated.

Codebreaker and Soulburner flew off to find Playmaker and luckily, they found him very soon. The trio logged out just before the wind world disappeared entirely.

- Codes of Secrets -

"And that's what happened." Yu explained to Yusaku and Takeru.

He and the rest of the trio were back in the real world, and were having internal meeting at Kusanagi's Cafe.

"I see," Ai said, understood. "Too bad we didn't get what we wanted from Bowman when we dueled him."

"It's OK," Kusanagi said. "Even though they got away again, at least we know that they are still out there, and we will find them."

"Yeah! Let's stay positive, and Rossy and I'll help as much as possible," Yu nodded.

"However, I am concerned about all of this," Rossy said. "What did Darkside mean that the Beast will become much stronger."

"His last statement does intrigue me, too," Flame admitted.

"Whatever it means, we should be more careful when we encounter them," Takeura said.

"Right. Like the Beast, Bowman has gotten better in dueling, even stronger than before. Like the Beast, he even used Skill during the Master Duel. We must get stronger if we duel them again," Yusaku said, looking very serious.

- Codes of Secrets -

Meanwhile, somewhere hidden in LINK VRAINS, Darkside was looking over the Beast, who was sleeping inside a liquid-filled tube with breathing mask over her mouth.

"How's our little pet doing?" Darkside turned to two Ignis.

"Aah, Master Windy and Master Lightning. I expected you would come and visit," Darkside said as he bowed to the two Ignis.

"It looks like your pet here got damage a lot. Maybe we should throw her away," Windy suggested as he pocked the tube.

"The Beast is still valuable tool to our cause, Windy," Lightning said strictly. "Speaking of which, how is she? Have you collected more data?"

"Yes, Master Lightning. The Beast collected a great amount of new data, but due to her yet unstable mind and emotion, it will take some time for her to fully recover from it. However, I am already thinking of a way to stabilize her, and came up with few plan," Darkside said.

"Very good," Lightning replied. "Continue with your works and discuss me about this plan of yours later."

Both Ignis left the laboratory. While moving, Windy said, "Hey Lightning, why are we keeping that monster human girl with us, anyway? If we're going to take over humanity, why would we use her?"

"Even for inferior human being, she is useful to us and my first human test subject for our plan. After the humanity is taken over or eradicated, then we will think of what to do with her then. For now, she, along with Bowman, will be nurtured into perfection," Lightning explained.

"Hee, hee! I like the way you think," Windy said, with a gleam.
