Last time in Yu-Gi-Oh VRAINS Codes of Secret, Yu was riding the Data Storm to learn more about it until he encountered and was forced to Duel with the Knight of Hanoi's elite member, Gemma, the user of Gem-Knight! As he began Dueling, the citizens of Den City watched as these two Duelists duel fiercely in Link VRAINS. With his ace monster destroyed, what would Yu do?
Chapter 7
Code Access
Yu, also known as Codebreaker, were surfing on his D-Board along the winds of the Data Storm. He was dueling against the Knight of Hanoi, an elite member named "Gemma." Currently, he had no monsters on the field, but his opponent has one.
"Gem-Knight Ruby, attack him directly!" Her monster had its sword ready to slice his remaining Life Points.
His eyes sparked for a moment, and he grabbed one card in his hand. "I activate my C# Protect Software Golem's effect in my hand!"
"Say what!?" Gemma gasped.
Even Yusaku looked surprise as the Knight of Hanoi's member. The monster Yu revealed was summoned to the field. It was a golem with large green cube for its body; blue lines ran across its body, and it had blocky legs, large arms, and large blue square-shaped eyes.
C# Protect Software Golem-Level 3, LIGHT, Cyverse/Effect, 200 ATK, 2000 DEF.
"When my opponent declares a direct attack, I can Special Summon this monster from my hand and negate the attack. Protect Execute!" The golem put his palms in front, creating a blue shield that blocked Gem-Knight Ruby's attack.
Gemma didn't look pleased. "Tch! Curses it…fine, but your doom is inevitable!"
Gemma's LP: 3900 (3h)
Codebreaker's LP: 2500 (2h [-1] = 1h)
"We'll see about that!" He smiled.
"Master, very nice saves in that last turn!" Rosey praised. "However, your defense won't last for long as long as she controls her Gem-Knight Ruby! Due to that Equip Spell, Fusion Sword, its ATK is 3500 and it can allow to attack twice. Currently, I am searching up a way to get out of this."
"Don't worry, Rosey. Everything will be fine!" He said. "Plus, this Duel is fun!"
You're the most positive guy I've ever met, compared to another protagonist that I know of, one who uses that gold dragon with wings.
"It won't be fun too long, foolish boy," Gemma smirked. "I activate my Skill!"
"Huh?" He looked at her.
"I use my Crystal Shatter! By sending up to three Gem-Knight monsters from my hand or Deck, I can inflict 500 damage each! I send three from my Deck to inflict 1500 damages to you!" Suddenly, several shards of gem strike down on Yu, with him acting quickly as he blocked it with his arms over his head and face.
"Aaah!" He yelped in pain.
Codebreaker's LP: 1000
"Enjoying yourself, kid?" She said in mocking tone and then said something in her mind. "There's no way he can win this. The card I set is Metamorphose Quartz, which if my opponent controls more monsters than I do on the field, I can Special Summon one Gem-Knight from my Graveyard and inflict 200x damages for the Level of the summoned monster to him. The gem of victory shines on me today!"
"Master, are you OK?" Rosey asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine," he nodded. "I draw!"
Codebreaker: 2h
"I Normal Summon C# Ad-Werewolf!" A white portal opened with a new monster coming out. This one looked like a dark blue werewolf, but with cybernetic red eye, metal claw for its right hand, and yellow stripes running across its body.
C# Ad-Werewolf-Level 4, LIGHT, Cyverse/Effect, 1500 ATK, 0 DEF.
"Just like how I predicted!" Gemma shouted. "I activate my Trap, Metamorphose Quartz!" Her set card revealed some rocks turning into crystal as it molded into a shape of Gem-Knights.
"If my opponent controls more monsters than I do on the field, I can Special Summon one Gem-Knight in my Graveyard and inflict 200x damages to your Life Points for the Level of that summoned monster," she explained. "I Special Summon my Level 6 Gem-Knight Crystal, so you take 1200 damage!"
However, a sudden spark of electricity shocked her, draining some of her Life Points.
"Urgh! What the!?" she gasped.
Gemma's LP: 2900
"Just like how I predicted!" Codebreaker exclaimed.
"Say what?" She questioned.
"I activated my C# Ad-Werewolf's effect! You see, when my opponent activates a Trap Card, C# Ad-Werewolf can change the card's effect to something else, and that is that you take 1000 points of damage instead!" He admitted.
Hearing that made her look mad and frustrated, indicated by her teeth gritting. "Why you little…!"
"I end my turn here," he finished.
"You will pay for what you did to my strategy! I will make sure you feel as much pain as possible in this turn! I draw!" She yelled furiously.
Gemma: 4h
"I declare to battle! First up, I destroy your annoying Ad-Werewolf with Crystal! Shatter it!" She ordered. Her monster followed her command as Gem-Knight Crystal gave it a knuckle-sandwich.
Codebreaker's LP: 50
"Warning, warning! Life Points at Critical Level!" Rosey alerted.
"Next, Gem-Knight Ruby destroys your Golem!" Her second monster slashed Software Protect Golem in half, causing itself to explode. "And since Ruby destroyed your monster, due to the effect of the Equip Spell Fusion Sword, I can attack again! I direct attack you!"
Gem-Knight Ruby stood over in front of Codebreaker, with its sword raised up in the air, ready to finish him.
"You shall fall here and now!" She exclaimed.
"Not so fast! I activate my Trap Card, C# Alert Firewall! With this, I take no Battle Damage this turn!" Gem-Knight Ruby slashed at him, but it only went through him as if he was a ghost.
"No! No! No! You are supposed to lose!" She argued.
"Chill out, dude-ed. It's only just a Duel," he said.
She growled. "It does not matter. I have two powerful Gem-Knights on my side, so there's nothing you can turn this table around!"
"We'll see about that!" He exclaimed as he moved forward.
"Master, according to my calculation, this may be your last draw. There is only 20% chance that you can turn this table around, but the chance of lose is very high," Rosey stated.
"As long as there is little bit of hope, there is always a way! I won't lose here and now. I will prevail!" Codebreaker declared.
He placed his fingers on the top of his Deck, ready to draw a card. "I..." The glowing stripes on his suit glowed in green. "DRAW!"
Codebreaker: 3h
"Rosey…" he said.
"Yes, Master?" she replied.
"It's time to use the new program I made. It's time…to use that Skill!" He decided.
"Are you sure, Master!? I think that program still needs some work…" She babbled on.
"No, Rosey." He stopped her babbling. "It is the only way to win this Duel."
"Well…if you say, Master Codebreaker," she complied.
"What are you waiting for? Are you giving up?" Gemma said in mocking tone.
"Hee, hee," he smirked as he looked behind at her. "Not me!"
Meanwhile, everyone was watching the Duel as they wondered why he was taking long to make any moves.
"Morse, what are you planning to do now?" Tom thought with worried look.
"If you ask me, he is in a very tight spot. I don't see if there is even way to beat this Knight of Hanoi," AI stated.
"I don't think so," said Yusaku. "There are three reasons why he can beat her. One, he is not the type who gives up even in the most dying situation. Two, from what I saw him in his other Duels in the past, he is able to turnabout the table. And three, he has something up in his sleeve."
"Really? What do you mean by that?" AI asked in curious tone.
"Just shut up and watch," Yusaku replied strictly.
Back to the Speed Duel in Link VRAINS, Yu was looking down with his eyes closed for 5 seconds. He looked forward with determination.
"I activate my Skill!" He shouted. "Code Access!"
"Say what!?" Gemma gasped.
Everyone else in the real world was also surprised as the Knight of Hanoi was.
Suddenly, a holographic blue screen with keyboard appeared in front of Codebreaker as he then explains about his skill. "Code Access allows me to Special Summon 1 monster from my hand, Deck, Extra Deck, Graveyard, or even the Banished Zone to my side of the field, ignoring its summoning condition. This Skill can only be activated if I have less than 1000 LP and control no monster on my side of the field. I input the code to revive a monster in my Graveyard! Return to my side, Cyber Magician Girl!"
His ace monster returned from the dead, looking very peppy and happy that she is revived.
"No! That's impossible!" Gemma shouted.
"That's incredible! I've never heard of a skill like that before!" AI burst out.
"That's some amazing program!" Kusanagi commented.
"Anything is possible as long as you can make it to be possible!" Codebreaker exclaimed. "I activate Cyber Magician Girl's effect! She allows me to take control of one Special Summoned monster from my opponent's side of the field and Special Summon it to one of my Linked Zones!"
His ace monster summoned her whip and tangled it around Gem-Knight Ruby.
"No! My Gem-Knight!" Gemma cried.
"CRTL Execute!" Cyber Magician Girl pulled Gem-Knight Ruby over to his side, now under her master's control as the Equip Spell Fusion Sword was shattered and destroyed.
"It's time to battle!" He declared as he smiled. "First, Gem-Knight Ruby attacks your Gem-Knight Crystal!"
Ruby slashed Crystal very easily, shattering its crystal armor into pieces as its original master covered from the impact while taking the damage.
Gemma's LP: 2850
"Then, I declare my Cyber Magician Girl to direct attack!" He continued on. "Digital Plasma Beam!"
Once again, she blocked the attack, but took a heavy damage, causing her to surf a bit out of balance.
Gemma's LP: 850
"And due to her effect, since I control your monster, Cyber Magician Girl can attack again!" He exclaimed. "Let's go, Cyber Magician Girl! Finale Digital Plasma Beam!"
She fired much more powerful energy beam at Gemma, making her fall off from her D-Board and fall into the abyss below the data storm.
"Nnnnnnoooooooo!" She screamed.
Gemma's LP: 0
Codebreaker WINS
"Yeah! That's two victories in one day!" Codebreaker cheered.
"Curse you, Codebreaker, but you've not heard the last of me, Gemma!" She shouted in anger as she pressed something on her wrist, making herself to disappear along with her D-Board.
"She disappeared!" Rosey stated. "It seems like she has escaped or logged out."
Well, at least she didn't die, or I might have got sued!
In the real world, Kusanagi discussed about Yu's Duel with Yusaku and the AI, which they decided to nickname it.
"You were right in your analysis, Yusaku, as always," Kusanagi said. "But, although there is something…very concerning about him."
"What's that?" Yusaku asked.
"Well, since he literally revealed himself as Codebreaker, most likely, the Knight of Hanoi will find out and when they do, they would go after him," Kusanagi explained. "I have bad feeling about it."
"Out of probability, it is very highly to happen." Ai spoke as he then showed an expression of an idea. "Hey, I got an idea! Why don't you ask him to join forces?"
"You know what. AI is right," Kusanagi agreed. "Codebreaker or Yu Akira is really strong, and he defeated the Knights of Hanoi twice! Well, the first one is with you in a tag duel, but it wouldn't be bad idea if he fights along with us."
Yusaku's expression told them so in complete opposite. Kusanagi shrugged.
"OK, I guess you don't want that, but he's going to be targeted by the Knight of Hanoi from now on, other than just paparazzi. Besides, you two go to the same school," Kusanagi said.
Then, Yusaku changed his expression to a light smile. "Kusanagi-san…you do have a good point."
"Hey! So you can smile!" AI noticed.
I know! I'm surprised as you are!
"But…" He changed his expression to his usual serious look. "If I ask him to join us, I have to, one, tell him that I am Playmaker, two, he must promise to keep a secret, and three, may even risk his own life."
"Well, trust is one thing, but whoever he is, I think it is not too hurt to ask. If you ask me, it seems to be a kind-looking guy," Kusanagi said.
"Well, I heard he comes late every day and barely not come to classes," Yusaku pointed out.
"OK. Maybe he isn't studious enough," Kusanagi commented as he sweat-dropped. "But, like I said, it is not hurt to ask and if he declines, we can just move forward."
Yusaku lightly nodded and think to himself. "Yu Akira…I think I need to know more about you…in person."
Somewhere in unknown location, there was a dark corridor with many kinds of light flickering, like a machine. Gemma appeared on a platform and once she did, she fell to her knees, looking exhausted.
"Curses it!" She punched the ground. "I can't believe I lost to that Cyverse User! Codebreaker…!"
"I see that you've just returned." She looked up to see a white-haired man.
"Spectre! What do you want?" She asked rudely.
"I saw your whole Duel with Revolver-sama." She showed with an expression of surprise and disappointment. "Revolver-sama wants to leave a message to you."
"A message?" She echoed as she stood up.
"It was just some hours ago, but Codebreaker's identity was revealed," he said as the news surprised Gemma.
He made a holographic screen out of his palm, which showed Codebreaker's identity. "His real name is Yu Akira, age 16, regular high school student. Apparently, he revealed himself as Codebreaker at his school when he was dueling against an upperclassman. This is what Revolver-sama wanted to say to you. It is your decision to do what's next, so…what would you do next?"
Gemma, still surprised a bit, turned her expression to a smirk. "What do you think, Spectre? Isn't it obvious?"
Spector looked with curious expression. "Enlighten me."
"It's revenge, of course!" She laughed. "And this time, I won't underestimate him!"

Hello, VRAINS fan and causal fanfiction readers! Here is another new chapter for this week!
Man, this story is progressing faster than expected, but that is just me very interested in Yu-Gi-Oh VRAINS anime! I really can't help myself, and this story is taking my time away from my other stories, but no worry! I will get back into them after I feel I am ready or need to take a break from writing this story.
Now time for the QOTC:
Q. What did you think of the duel between Yusaku (Playmaker) vs. Go Onizuka? Also, what did you think of the announcement for the new Pokemon games, Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon versions?
For me, the duel was really great. I think the episode really showed why you want to like Go, and he isn't just those typical rival characters who only care about winning. He does care, but he only do it to entertain the viewers, his opponent, and the orphanage's kids. I really enjoyed the Duel, and it was crazy that Yusaku Link Summoned four times in a row, just to summon his ace monster at the end!
My thought on Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon: I think it is gonna be very good game, and hopefully be better than the original versions. It looks like to me the Pokemon Company or GameFreak is doing something similar, like Pokemon Black 2 and White 2. I can't wait to get it in November!
With all that said, here is something I am going to do after every chapter, so please take a look.
