Sunshine Jesse Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Zarkus appeared next to Jack and turned around, their eyes meeting. Jack looked surprised, but could sense something wrong. “...what's going on?” Jack said, reaching his hand out towards Zarkus. Zarkus pushed the hand away as an Omega sign appeared in his eyes. He jumped back and unsheathed his blade, a 4000 appearing over his head. “Jack... I need you to duel me. I need to make sure of something.” he said, as a new deck appeared in his sword, and he drew five cards. Jack nodded and activated his own duel disk. “I draw!” Jack declared, picking up the first card in his deck. He set two cards face down, and played a monster in defense position. “Turn end.” Jack declared, as Zarkus drew his sixth card. He was oddly focused on the third card in his hand, a bead of sweat moving down his forehead as if he was struggling to look at it, or perhaps not to activate it. “I just wanted a second chance...” he said, as he struggled to place a monster in face-down defense position. Jack looked at Zarkus, surprised at his lack of a serious move, as he drew one card from his deck. "What do you mean?" Jack said, as he flipped his facedown monster- Dark Resonator, and Normal Summoned Hyper Resonator at the cost of 1000 Life Points. "I tune my Dark Resonator to my Hyper Resonator." he said, as the Synchro Summon animation activated. [b]"The ruler's heartbeats will now file through here! Take witness to its creation-shaking power! Synchro Summon! My very soul, Red Dragon Archfiend!" [/b] The Red Dragon Archfiend attacked the Face-down monster, Witch of the Black forest, allowing Zarkus to add one card. "Turn end." he said. Zarkus picked up one card from his deck as more sweat poured down his brow. Voices ran through his head as he had several flashbacks, picking the card he was so focused on. "I have to... I can't... I... I..." he said, as the omega markings on his eyes began to glow, and a purple flame surrounded his entire body. He held the card above his head as the flames shot into the sky above him, a moon beginning to form, the omega mark on his chest now superimposed over his whole body. [b]"... activate my field spell card, Viral Core - Alpha."[/b] <i>Across the entire virtual world, a bright moon with an Alpha mark was superimposed over the sky.</i> LP: 40000 [spoiler=Cards used] Hyper Resonator Level 1 0 ATK/0 DEF Fiend/Effect This card cannot be Normal summoned or Set.

The Warden Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Sigma was making final preparations, before beign put off by an anomaly in the sky. It seemed familiar, becomming even more familiar as the memories came flooding back. Se grabbed her head in the despair the memories wrought. 'This is impossible, only Neziarx used....oh Zarkus' she wailed. With a quick command on the consoles, she homed in on the duel providing the new background. It was Zarkus, and Jack. She shook her head as she saw the LP count for Zarkus, 40000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premier Alexander Romanov Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Across the Virtual World, humans and A.I. alike watched the symbol light up the perpetually night sky. In At-LAN+12 Colony, the Council assembled watched the moon appear as they discussed their plans of war. In The City streets, a scarlet-circuited helmeted woman saw the appearance, judged its origin, and summoned her Light Cycle, speeding off at top speed for the duel. And deep in the Outlands, a mysterious being opened its eyes for the first time in cycles to see what was disturbing her meditation. She briefly quit the crucial task she was laboring on, and walked out to the balcony to watch the first true source of light the Virtual World has ever had shine down through a gaping hole in the continuous cloud cover. [color=#DC143C]"Zarkus, what have you done..."[/color] She muttered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadius Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Without wasting anytime, the man walked over to one of the tables housing AIs for patrons, grabbing one by his throat and quickly placing him through the table. "Where is the owner of this club, as a AI you should at least be able to tell me this you waste of data." Unlike is usual composed manor he had never liked the AI, he considered them to be scum that deserved to be wiped out. However the man wasn't always like this, for when he first arrived in the virtual world he had no grudge against the AI. In fact at that time he didn't even have interest in taking control of land or acting like a monarch, in thoses days he only carried about playing the game for fun.

Premier Alexander Romanov Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 The AI, Rock, had cyan circuitry on his armor, a strange helmet, and a cannon for an arm. He was a freelance Virus Hunter who lived with his sister Roll in an old laboratory run by their human creator. He was having a drink after a round of Busting when this strange human attacked him. He had no idea who the owner was. In fact, he had only recently started coming here. [color=#48D1CC]"I...I don't know..."[/color] Teslarc finally reached The City's edge, and stopped to look around for the source. She finally spotted a temple way off in the distance, and headed straight for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadius Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 "You are full of it, all AIs have the coding which, in fact, informs them of the very info I just asked you for!" The man wasn't in the mood to listen to the AI, even if he didn't know what he wanted to find out. Grabbing Rock with the very hand he threw him into the table with, he tossed the AI towards Rhythm and Kyza, caring not if anyone got harmed. "Alright people, answer me quickly and no one else has to get hurt, tell me where the damn owner of the club is or else you might be next!" The man was easily in a rush to get his job done with, after all a conquest isn't something that is done without some brute force. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilfusion Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 The alpha moon's appearance did not go unnoticed. Almost immediately, heads turned skywards, some AIs and humans alike craning their heads for a better look. There was silence at first, and then anxious murmuring and questions amongst each other, everyone wondering the same things, and no one seeming to have answers. Yet among the crowd of confusion, a trio of men stood, gazing at the moon in solemn silence. Each wore a similar, albeit unusual looking outfit, and their hair all seemed to be in a similar style, but vastly different colors. If one were to examine their left eyes, they would see that each had a strange glowing symbol or rune in place of the pupil, each a different color and shape. With these eyes, they seemed to stare beyond the alpha moon itself, as if seeing something more to it than any other could see. "For such a thing to appear here," one of them said solemnly, his hair was longest of the three and silver-gray. His left eye held a blue rune shaped vaguely like the letter F. A second one nodded, his hair black with yellow at the base. His rune was green, in a triangular hammer shape. "What could be happening here?" the last wondered. His hair was shocking red and he appeared to be the youngest of the three. His rune was magenta and shaped like an inversion of Harald's. "It seems its appearance bodes ill for the world here," Harald noted, his rune glowing as he scanned the moon. "Corruption and destruction exist within its origin." "Then our presence here is not unneeded," Dragan said. The fact that their team had been drawn into the world had frustrated him, for the other two had decided to sit tight until it was determined why or whether the Polar Gods were supposed to have an impact with the happenings of the virtual world, as opposed to the city that they had tried to defend before coming here. Things had gotten so complicated so quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine Jesse Posted January 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Looked down at the ground below him, the purple flaming aura still surrounding his body. “Haaah... haaah...” Zarkus breathed in and out and looked up at Jack, his eyes now glowing a bright purple color in contrast to their usual red hue. He picked up two cards from his hand and placed them into his spell/trap card zone, the first one a Field Spell. “I activate Viral Core – Zeta.” Zarkus declared, but his activation was interrupted by lightning surrounding his body, a special program activated to prevent his duel from continuing, as his LP counter vanished. The three cloaked men descended from the sky, looking directly at Zarkus. Even though all three of them there, only the gray one, Zero, spoke. “Zarkus, are you aware of what you've done?” Zero said, walking towards him. Zarkus let out an incredibly loud roar, knocking away every person in the area sans Zero who rather easily stood firm. Zarkus looked up, his eyes now glowing bright red, a familiar aura coming from him, but only the likes of Sigma would recognize it. “With his negative emotions having been manifested in such a way, and with the help of the last, contained remnants of the virus... I have been reborn.” he said as he snapped his fingers, the lightning around his body dissipating. Zarkus walked a few steps forward as he swung his blade once, the entire virtual world distorting as a result. Chaos and Law stood up, activating both of their duel disks. “No, stop! It's a part of his plan!” Zero said, waving his arm. Law merely looked back at him. “We need his energy for Project Solomon.” he said, as both him and Chaos activated their duel disks. Zarkus did in response as well, an 8000 appearing over his head. However, before their duel could begin, Zarkus grabbed his head in immense pain and began to melt into the ground, vanishing to an unknown location.

Premier Alexander Romanov Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Teslarc zoomed by the temple as she headed for Jack and Zarkus' duel at speeds a Light Cycle shouldn't be able to achieve. Whatever Teslarc was, she had some wicked hacks at her disposal... [color=#DC143C]"Not now...Not now not now not now not now NOT NOW!!!"[/color] The mysterious woman cried out as she paced frantically in the ruins, staying out of the moonlight. For some reason, she wasn't wearing a suit, otherwise she would have been lit up in some color of circuitry. [color=#DC143C]"Zarkus, you fool! Not now! I'm not done yet! All of the kilocycles I have spent here will be in vain! You will just be playing into their hands! They want you to activate it prematurely!"[/color] She finally stepped out, revealing a young teenage girl with long, flowing red hair with black streaks that reached down to her feet, a semi-wild, slightly insane look in her heterochromatic gold and blue eyes, and nothing on, though her hair was doing a good job at covering her frail figure. She looked up at the Alpha-carved moon. [color=#DC143C]"Please, Zarkus..."[/color] She whispered, her eyes watering. [color=#DC143C]"Don't do it."[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Warden Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 OOC: Sigma is already back in her floating island, in the sky, where only head Admins, ergo, she and Zarkus can only enter. Sigma pushed away from her console and flipped, she brought the Legendary cards with her, just in case. She flipped back, but it was all over. She looked at the area with an unusual melted look, which she kicked at slowly. She looked at Zero, Law and Chaos. 'You three best statrt explaining what the hell is going on here, because this is becommig even more anoying and contrived every second. So spill it you three. Who are you? Why the hell are you here? And what the hell just happened to Zarkus?' she demanded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premier Alexander Romanov Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 OOC: Fixed it. Teslarc pulled up and dismissed her Light Cycle. She then summoned a strange weapon that looked like an Identity Disc fused with a Light Blade, the edges of the weapon glowing an intense scarlet as a thin blade of scarlet energy like a rapier extended about 5 feet out from the center contraption. Obviously, the hacker wasn't pleased at what was going on. She placed herself next to Sigma, going into a fighting stance and turning her head briefly at Sigma before facing the trio once again. [color=#FF2400]"You..."[/color] She hissed in a distorted, echoey tone that was the exact opposite from Vector-A's grating, sounding like a yell, a whisper, and every range in between at the same time, but dispersed out over a few femtocycles. [color=#FF2400]"What are you...And give me a good reason...why I shouldn't kill you..."[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyza Kiryu Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Kyza catches Rock by the shoulders as he is thrown towards them, not holding him with unbridled strength but softening the impact so neither he, nor Rock, got hurt. He looks to the program, then the guy who threw him. Again, that sinister glow returning to his circuits as his anger builds, his face solemn. He carefully moves Rock to one side once he is sure he is ok, looking to Rhythm, as he carefully whispers to her. "Rhythm... I know you are set to perform here, but we should leave for now..." he gestures towards the violent man shouting at the programs, "He's obviously up to something, and I dont want to see you get hurt. There's been too much hurt today" Resting one of his hands on the MP3's shoulder, forcing back his anger to give her a tender smile, but the burning red of his circuit lines still hinting at his inward rage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of Golden Shadows Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Rex stopped slamming into the walls, and glanced at his hands. "Why was I even made in this world...To infect and destroy?...I didn't mean to infect that girl...Strange. I'm detecting slight traces of...Toxins?...Underground..." Rex's eyes blackened suddenly, and he grinned. "I might know where to find that girl and possibly Vector-A!" Rex then drew his sword. He began trying to break the handcuffs, wanting to start digging underground as soon as possible. "C'mon, stupid handcuffs! break already! Unless these handcuffs break soon, I won't be able to get underground!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aesirson Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 MIA sat on top a roof, watching Kyza, Rythm and Rock. She was studying them carefuly, and she had noticed a very interesting detail about her next victim. [i]I feel the presence of a very powerful, dark being from within him. That may be useful...[/i] She picked up a card from her deck. It was completely blank, but a picture started to form on it. It was now a Trap card with a picture showing another card being absorbed by a black aura. MIA smiled. "Now I'll just wait for him to be alone..."

Shadius Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 "Why would you bother catching a useless being boy, it's not like he would benefit you." The man slowly stepped towards the trio, wearing a devilish smirk on his face. //It looks like I might have found a challenge after all...// By now it seemed like the attention to most of the club's patrons was on the man, his plan to find the club owner was slowly working itself out. "Then again boy, you might be able to actually give me a challenge. I've been looking for a worthy opponent for a while now, specially since I've been playing nothing but novices for the last couple days or so."

Premier Alexander Romanov Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 The transport stopped again and several V-Sec officers charged in to restrain Rex and get the sword from him, as well as any other subroutines he might have on him. [color=#FF0000]"For the love of ZONE, can you not calm down?!?"[/color] Trudge yelled from outside the van. [color=#FF0000]"You are making this very difficult for us, and therefore making it very difficult for yourself!

Kyza Kiryu Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 "Look, I don't know why, or care why you're on this big 'mondo power' kick. Whoever you are, if you want this club, take it, it isnt my business. And as for a duel, its simple; I'll surrender in my first turn, or I'll pull my moves. Now I know you want a challenge, what do I have to bother going all out for?" Kyza states calmly, trying to reign back his anger, to focus on keeping calm. He was getting pretty tired of everyone launching themselves at him. [i]I'd beat them for you... [/i] Kyza winces, closing his eyes, not him again, echoing in his skull. He had hoped those problems were in his flesh and blood body, not here, but they seemed to follow him, infected in a differant way then a virus...

Aesirson Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 [i]Maybe this is the moment I've been waiting for...[/i] "Hello there, boys and girls!" MIA appeared behind the man, smiling. "I couldn't help but overhearing your conversation, and honestly I don't care!" She was still smiling, like if she was in the kind of 'I don't give a' mood. "However..." The 'good' MIA disappeared from her face and instead there was the cold, darker MIA again. "I wuld like to tal to you." She said and nodded at Kyza. "You see... I can help you fulfill your justice-driven wish. You know what I'm talking about." ((She's, of course, talking about Kyza gaining revenge on Rex/Vector-A.

With the arrival of MIA the man could do nothing but scowl, the one thing he held more disdain for then the AIs is in fact bubbly personas. //I have no idea who this chick is, or how she appeared behind me without me noticing, but something about her is different... she isn't a normal user and I should see what the hell she's talking about...// The foundation of his headquarters could wait, the man was more concerned about the new arrival and how things were going to go.

Kyza Kiryu Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 The appearence of the cheerful but loud woman causes him to tense up a little, raising a brow at her behavior. He is about to turn away before she stands in front of him, seeing her face drop forces him to go on the defensive... And then he hears her offer... "You don't know anything about me, whoever the hell you are. All I am is a guy who wanted a place to relax, but everyone seems to be jumping out the woodwork to attack, duel or just all out threaten me..." He answers, but the momentary dimming of his circuit lines an indicator she had caught him off guard. She couldn't know... [i]Its a good offer....[/i] Not now, damnit not now of all places, as he rubbed his index finger against his temple, trying to quieten it in his head...

Aesirson Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 MIA first looked at the man and giggled. "You men and your plans for world domination!" She smiled, but then turned to Kyza and became cold again. "You know, if you just accept I could give you powers to stop that... No one would hurt you anymore. No one would dare to hurt you. And besides, there is no downside. Your goal is the same as mine." She held the sentence in, as if she was sucking the last drips of sweet taste out of it. "To destroy the viruses..."

Knight of Golden Shadows Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 "Hmph. Fine. Before you get the transport started back up, lemme tell you something. I just realized. My virus detection systems do not pick of traces of viruses underground, and your energy scanners probably don't either. So, did you ever think Vector-A coulda taken the girl underground?" Rex yelled back to Trudge. "I mean, I detected toxins, or perhaps the toxins I normally pick up when scanning for Viruses under this here road. Just thought I should let you know." Rex yelled that to Trudge as well, hoping that it would sink in to Trudge and the V-Sec officers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyza Kiryu Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Kyza smirks now, though for those who know him they would know it's a little...off. A bit too sinister to be Kyza's usual smirk. "Wrong goals." He smiles at MIA, taking a step back from her now, tilting his neck and popping a few of the joints, the dull cracking eminating from his neck as he looked to her. "But hey, tempting. No, seriously, geeeenuinely tempting, but i'll pass for now. Or hey..." he looks towards the man standing behind MIA with that same smirk, almost painted on his thin lips. "Why not duel him? I mean, if you beat him, you have GOT to have some real powers that'd catch my eye, then we could talk." he winks his left eye, still slightly visible, but as he opens it the entire eye looks black, like a sea of ink, just for a moment before his iris came swimming back into view. His coding fizzed at that point, seeming like the default blue before becoming Kyza's familier burgendy, something was off here but very subtle...

Aesirson Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 MIA looked at Kyza in angry shock. She was so sure that his goals were to defeat the viruses that she had gone in too fast. She then turned to Talarezt, but not as he good, smiling MIA that she used to be when talking to him, but an angered and cold MIA. "I am the 'girl' that will crush you!" She gripped the mans armor and dragged his face close to hers, showing her immense strength. "Understood?" Before the man had a time to respond she let go of him and giggled. "Make yourself ready!" She smiled, like the cheerful part of her personality, and readied her Duel Disk. ((Looks like MIA had a personality malfunction. I'll be off for the night, but Talarezt can start and I'll do MIA's move tomorrow.)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
