Yu-gi-oh: Nightmare of the Virtual World.

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

Teslarc's helmet retracted into her armor to reveal a familiar face that was also completely alien to him. The woman looked remarkably like Itsu, but her face had several scars on it, including one that faintly resembled Yusei's criminal mark on the same side of her face. Where Itsu's eyes were filled with warmth and positive energy, these eyes were cold and eagle-like piercing into your very soul. [color=#FF2400]"Kyza, I thought it was pretty clear by now."[/color] She growled in a harsher, more feral version of Itsu's sweet, bubbly, and melodic voice, which was now much clearer now that the distortion disguising her voice was gone. [color=#FF2400]"I'm not. F**king. Itsu."[/color] Her blade disappeared as she started walking off. [color=#FF2400]"Do you really think Itsu would strike down our mother like that?"[/color]

[Kyza Kiryu]

His confusion is apparent as he follows Teslarc, frowning at her appearence. She looked like Itsu, but she didn't seem right.

"Itsu's had to do a lot of things she's not proud of, so yeah, I believe she could do that...."

He jogs a bit faster now, walking a bit in front of her as he turns on his feet to walk backwards to look at her, jogging backwards to study her closer. She looked like Itsu, a lot in his eyes, but enough to tell him it isnt truely the Itsu he knows. Possibly a parralel version? No... if so then how did she know him?

"Anyway.... I wanted some answers, and you seem to be the one to give me them since you just sliced my mother in two. Besides, YOU know me too, so its about time I stopped feeling confused as hell, and you give me some decent, proper answers. Namely your name, and who and where Vector-A is, and THEN I'll get back to finding Itsu, since you aren't her."

Perhaps he was a bit snappy, perhaps he was a bit angry, but he was understandably so. This was probably the calmest things had been for him besides the Processing seemingly a lifetime ago

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

Teslarc kept walking. [color=#FF2400]"Vector-A is probably somewhere in this city. For who she is, you will find out in good time. Besides, why should I tell you? Not a single thank you for saving your sorry ass!"[/color] She then changed to a poor imitation of Kyza's voice, which was set in a mocking tone. [color=#FF2400]"Oh, thank you, Teslarc! Thank you for protecting me from being killed by my own mother!"[/color] She then changed to a parody of Rhythm, who was walking next to them and muttering to herself as she looked through her deck and tried to figure out some strategies. [color=#FF2400]"Thank you Teslarc! You're so awesome because you have some dueling skills, unlike me, a vapid green-haired bimbo!"[/color] Rhythm ignored the taunting and resumed trying to figure out how to use her Deck properly. [color=#FF2400]"See?"[/color] She sneered at Kyza in her normal tone. [color=#FF2400]"You can't win against Aki, you can't win against Itsu, you most likely cannot win against me, and really, Green Bean over there is probably the only one who you have a chance of defeating. Honestly, I think Itsu only keeps you around because she is sorry for you, you scrawny mother-lusting SOB!"[/color]

[Kyza Kiryu]

A cold hand is rested hard on Teslarc's chest at that point, on her collarbone as he stops walking, his arm to hold her in place as he glares to her.

"Ok, 'Teslarc', that's name. Now I've got a name for you? I'll say 'Thanks for saving me back there, and turning up perfectly on time to make yourself look like the biggest hero in the worlds to fuel the ego I have for nothing more then being a knock-off Itsu wannabe', yes, major thank yous for THAT..."

His coding is going haywire by this point, one minute his burgendy, the next a cyan blue, but growing darker, the lines shifting to threaten to form the same lines carved into his body.

"For duelling? Ok, 'thank you Teslarc for turning up with cards ITSU made that i was just a puppet for', ok, check, thanked you for THAT too. Now more answers to these questions; you called Aki OUR mother, and you know Itsu, and I want the full truth about Vector-A NOW...."

Why was he getting this badly worked up? Had he really been that rattled by her words? And why did he keep asking about Vector-A...?

[Merci]

Data began to spin crazily around Faze. She was dazed for a moment, but regained her stance, only to faze into the floor. Her coding was different from the usual coding of the area, although she didn't know that. The next thing she knew, she stumbled for a moment and hit the ground. She looked up, and recognized a face. A familiar face. Faze realized that she was now in a city. Near her were two people. One of them was recognizable somehow. "It. . . su?" She muttered to herself. Anger began to rise inside her, but she didn't know why. She knew this person, though. Somehow. "It. . su!" Where did the word come from, she wondered. She walked towards them in a wobbly sort of way. "It. . su. . . So. . . lace!" Her hands were wrapped up in fists for some reason, but she still didn't know why.

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

Teslarc sighed as she saw Faze approaching. [color=#FF2400]"Fine. You want answers? Win against her, and I will answer a question for every 1000 Life Points you have remaining at the end."[/color]

Desna stood in front of the assembled groups, and, via projector, the other groups. [color=#9ACD32]"My friends, my fellow Colonists, my soon-to-be brothers and sisters-at-arms."[/color] He started. [color=#9ACD32]"We have suffered too much. Our homes were destroyed by a war we could not win, so we, the survivors, moved to this realm in cyberspace. We did not agree with the Admins, the GloMods, the Mods, and The City as a whole, so we moved out and formed an alliance after a brief period of unrest, with us, the Colonists, providing for the City-dwellers for protection and amenities. But recently, in the past few kilocycles, the status quo has slowly been shifting from the middle to a position against us. Maybe it was supposed to shift away from what we originally wanted, maybe it was always like this, but we just didn't see it until it was too late. Or maybe something changed the status quo out of our favor. No matter what the cause, the effect is clear: we are once again persecuted for not conforming, and we must take up arms to settle this matter once and for all. I only hope that this display of power will stun V-Sec long enough for us to gain control, and this will be a relatively bloodless revolution. This will not likely be the case, but I do plead with you to show force, but show mercy and cooperation. If we do not use violence, they will not use violence against us. Show the citizens that we are liberators, not conquerors. No go forth and bring the status quo back to where it should be!"[/color] The crowd roared at the speech, and the various soldiers and personnel prepared for the attack.

[Merci]

[b]"ITSU. . . SOLACE. . . "[/b] Faze tested those words on her tongue. Such a familiar word. "I know you!" She suddenly said, pointing to the one she perceived as Itsu Solace. She remembered her now, partially. "You're the one who. . . did. . . that. . . !" One's and Zero's enveloped her left arm for a moment, and when they disappeared, there was a sort of machine disk on it, which was activated. "You. . . Itsu Solace. . . . I hate you!" She declared, still pointing at the one she perceived as Itsu Solace with her right index finger. "I hate you, hate you, hate you!"

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

Teslarc laughed hard. [color=#FF2400]"This day keeps getting better and better! I'm afraid you are severely mistaken. I am not Itsu Solace. I was created by Itsu to be her doppleganger, which has so far worked out very well."[/color] She traced a finger over her scars. [color=#FF2400]"See? Itsu doesn't have these scars. She would heal any wound she had inflicted upon her. Me? I'm human. Or pretty f**king close to it. And I'm not the first one my kind either. I am the fourth of fifth of me."[/color] She extended the hand that traced her scars to Faze. [color=#FF2400]"My name is Teslarc the Anti."[/color]

[Kyza Kiryu]

"Are you KIDDING me?!" He points to Faze, but keeps glaring at Teslarc, "I just took on Aki, and NOW I have to duel again to get answers from you by duelling AGAIN?!" He looks frustrated now, angered once again as he glares to Teslarc. She obviously knew he had no healing cards in his deck, so even one attack and he would be down one question, maybe even more.

"...alright.... But you had BETTER tell me who Vector-A is! Even if I have less then 1000 lifepoints left, like 900 or 100, you STILL answer that one" He glares, turning to look at Faze as he slams his Identity disk onto his left wrist, a traditional duel disk forming as he steps into place to duel.

"You really showed up at the wrong time..." He sighs, drawing 5 cards but not taking a 6th yet, unsure if Faze wants to go first, or if he should go first.

[The Warden]

Carmine was checking up on Victoria, but a new alert stole her attention. She groaned with annoyance. 'I know you're recovering miss, but I'll need you to come with me. They're going to need more brain cells and you're going to provide them' she said and took Victoria and Patches with her.

They appeared on a floating platform, it was shadowing the stage where Desna was making his speech. 'This we cannot allow' she declared. 'I summon Toxico Viron and Hacked Multiply' she declared, playing the two cards. In the air above every assembled force was a cloud of Virons, which then descended on the groups. This was going to be hilarious and somewhat disturbing, but hey, at least it wasn't the Paratices.

[Merci]

Faze was confused for a while. "You're not Itsu Solace?" She asked like someone innocent, but she then noticed that other person. "Wha? Duel!" Faze then drew six cards from her Duel Disk. "I activate the effect of Evil Hero Infernal Prodigy. If I control no monsters, I can Special Summon it from my hand." An evil monster then appeared on the field (ATK 300). "Then, I activate the card, Dark Fusion, which allows me to fusion summon monsters. I fusion summon both of my Evil Hero Malicious Edges in my hand, to fusion summon Evil Hero Malicious Fiend!" Two more monsters appeared for a while, but they disappeared quickly and were replaced with a powerful being (ATK 3500). "All face-up monsters you control will be turned to Attack Position and forced to battle it. Then, I activate the spell card, Pretend Villain, which special summons a token to your side of the field in Defense Position." A monster appeared on the other side (DEF 2000). "When that monster is destroyed, I take 1000 points of damage. But that's not the point. When there's a monster you control, I can tribute summon Evil Hero Malicious Fiend with only one tribute. I tribute Evil Hero Infernal Prodigy to Summon Evil Hero Malicious Edge." And the earliest monster disappeared, replaced (ATK 2600). "Finally, when Evil Hero Infernal Prodigy is used as a Tribute, I can draw one card from my deck." And Faze drew one card from her deck. "Turn end."

[Kyza Kiryu]

Kyza draws, studying his hand.

"I play Foolish Burial, and send my Infernity Avenger to the graveyard from my deck!" The skeletal marionette Tuner cackles as it briefly fades to the field, its circuit lines glowing as it then fades into the graveyard. (http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Infernity_Avenger)

"Next, I'll set one monster face down in defense mode...." the defense monster shimmers into place, "And three cards face down on the field!"

Behind his monster, three cards appear.

"I'll en...." he starts, then looks stunned as his Token appears to attack, "What the.... Oh damn! It has to attack Evil Hero Malicious Fiend!!"

(I don't know what its attack is, so it's up to you Merciful Idiot to finish that part, after that Kyza's turn is over)

[Merci]

"Huh?" Faze had no idea what Kyza was talking about. "No, wait, I forgot to mention. If you don't enter the Battle Phase, your monsters aren't forced to attack. Sorry, mistake on my part." She bowed in apology. "Now, it's my turn, right? Draw!" She then drew a card from her hand. "Great, I summon Evil Hero Infernal Gainer!" Another monster appeared (ATK 1600). "Now I activate its effect! By removing it from play, I can select another Evil Hero I control, and guess what? That monster can attack twice during this Battle Phase! I select Evil Hero Malicious Fiend! Go, attack his face-down monster and my token!"

[Kyza Kiryu]

Kyza watches the Token being destroyed, activating his face down, "I'll play Full Salvo!" http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Full_Salvo Sending the card in his hand to the graveyard, a Revival Gift http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Revival_Gift , "With the card I sent to the graveyard, I'll inflict 200 points of damage to you. And that isn't much, but now I have a chance..."

He looks worried, he knew this duel could be over quickly if he messed up, maybe even this turn. He knew he had to time it right to stand the best chance of succeeding. He had to win, he knew he had to.... damnit, why did he need to know what Teslarc knew so badly?! Vector-A... he had to know about her. He had to win...

He watches his second monster get destroyed, a Mystic Tomato, "Ok... I'm going to use two effects here. Firstly, I'm allowed to use my Infernity Avenger's effect to revive him from the graveyard in face up defence But now, by his effect, he'll be a level 4 Tuner now, taking on the attack stars of my destroyed Mystic Tomato, a level 4."

The cackling skeletal marionette rose from the graveyard, twirling its blasters as it rises to the field, its defence zero.

"Now, since Mystic Tomato was destroyed, I can special summon a DARK monster from my deck.... so I'll summon Infernity Guardian in attack mode"

A grinning skull head hovers to the field, surrounded by plasma fire as it looms into view. http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Infernity_Guardian

Please, he whispers in his mind, please let this work....

"Now for my second facedown! Urgent Tuning!" http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Urgent_Tuning He grits his teeth now, knowing this was the turning point, "When the doors of Hell are opened, the guardian of the afterlife emerges! I synchro summon Infernity Doom Dragon!"

The black, fierce dragon begins to loom into view, a dark aura flooding the field. http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Infernity_Doom_Dragon

[Merci]

Faze sighed and canceled Evil Hero Malicious Edge's attack. "Well, then. Can't do much else, can I?" She asked. "I switch Evil Hero Malicious Edge to Defense Position." And the monster that was supposed to attack the person directly instead went to its knees and shielded itself with its arms (DEF 1800). "You're strong! You're as strong as her!" And she pointed at the one she knew was Itsu Solace, only to remember that she wasn't Itsu Solace, instead being a lookalike called Teslarc. "Erm, sorry. Not her, but the one known as Itsu Solace. She was powerful! Although I don't remember how powerful, though. Oh well, I set a card and end my turn."

LP: 2800
Hand: 0
Field: EHMF (ATK 3500), EHME (DEF 1800
S/T: 1 SC

[Kyza Kiryu]

He heaves a sigh of relief, making it through that turn ok. He draws, looking to the card in his hand thoughtfully, then setting it face down next to the other face down, only having two on his side of the field now.

"Ok... I'm going to use my Infernity Doom Dragon's effect, since I have no cards in my hand. I'll target your Evil Hero Malicious Fiend with his effect. Instead of attacking with him, I can use his effect to destroy one monster on your side of the field and inflict half of its attack points value as damage to your lifepoints."

He speaks calmly, but he was, in truth, pretty tense. She was polite at least, and he had survived so far. He had to do this, if to prove to himself he could do it. His Infernity Doom Dragon hissed a dark purple mist from its gaping jaws, not an attack but an effect.

[Merci]

Faze sighed. The attack, or rather, destroying-inflicting effect from Infernity Doom Dragon hit Evil Hero Malicious Fiend, and it was destroyed (Faze LP 1050). "Now, I think I should get serious." She said, though rather blankly. "Activate trap card! Emergency Spell! By sending the top three cards of my deck to the Graveyard, I can activate a spell card from my deck!" The top three cards on Faze's deck were sent to the Graveyard, while Faze retrieved a spell card from her deck. "I activate the spell card, Dark Calling! It allows me to fusion summon monsters from my field, hand or graveyard. Thus, I fuse together Evil Hero Malicious Fiend and the Big Piece Golem just sent to my Graveyard, to Fusion Summon! Evil Hero Dark Gaia!" A monster appeared out of the depths of darkness, and its ATK was. . . (ATK [b]5600[/b]). "Behold Dark Gaia!" She declared.

[Kyza Kiryu]

Kyza's coding seemed to flicker, the coding on his body turning the pale cyan of a traditional Program, but that couldn't be right, Kyza was a User. He clutches the side of his head, stumbling back as though in pain.

"No.... please, no... not now...." he hisses, but not to Teslarc or Faze....

[i]C'mon.... let me finish this up. You won't be able to do this, you can't do anything without HER.... [/i]

"Shut up..... I told Teslarc, and I'm telling you!! I don't solely rely on Itsu!"

The sinister voice within his mind seemed amused by this, a high, shrieking cackle echoing in his skull as Kyza grew pale

[i] Kyza... I wasn't talking about Itsu.... [/i]

Trying to fend off the noise in his head, to regain control, he presses a button flashing on his duel disk, alerting him to one of his face downs, the one he set last turn.

"A....Activate my face down...." He gasps out, but cant finish the declaration of the card's name and effect. It was thankfully displayed large enough for Faze to read, Infernity Break. http://yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Infernity_Break As he was handless still, he could play it. Infernity Guardian was removed from his graveyard, becoming clear as though the card had been drawn on glass, a digital sign of it being removed from play. Kyza points towards Dark Gaia, the target of Infernity Break's ability. He knew it wasn't immune to Spells or Traps this turn, Dark Calling only summoned it. So, with his trap, he hoped to destroy it.

[Merci]

"I remove from play the Evil Life sent to my graveyard." Faze declared. "By removing it from play in my graveyard, and only if it wasn't sent there when its original effect resolved, I can tribute a monster I control and gain life points equal to its Attack. Thus, I tribute Evil Hero Dark Gaia!" Evil Hero Dark Gaia disappeared, and then flames suddenly erupted from Faze's feet, engulfing her for a moment. But they didn't burn her. In fact, it actually tickled a bit (Faze LP 6650). "And thus your Infernity Break's target has suddenly disappeared. I say bye to it. My life points are enough for me to endure any attack for now."

[Kyza Kiryu]

Kyza frowns at the sudden increase in Faze's lifepoints, cursing under his breath. He draws, and looks at the card thoughtfully.

"I summon Infernity Necromancer to the field!" A boney figure dressed in robes laced with circuitry lines shimmering appeared to Kyza's side of the field, "by his effect, even though he was summoned in attack mode, he's switched into defense mode." Necromancer shifts into a defensive stance, his arms crossing his chest, a DARK level 3 with 2000 defense.

This was getting difficult, or at least trickier then he cared.

"I'll use Infernity Doom Dragon's effect on your defending Malicious Edge, but I can't attack with him this turn" It made the most sense, since merely attacking would do no damage, but the effect could as well as destroying Faze's monster.

"And that'd end my turn"

[Merci]

"My turn, draw!" And Faze drew her card. When she looked at her card, however, her arm was showered in more 1's and 0's, and the same happened for her entire body. She gasped for a moment and took a step back, but she had already remembered. "Let's end this. I am no longer playing around like a little [i]gypsy fairy[/i]! Activate spell card, Dark Hatred! When there are three or more Evil Hero monsters in my Graveyard, by paying 700 life points, I can draw cards from my deck until I have six cards!" Faze drew five cards from her deck, and her look, it was different (Faze LP 4650). "I now activate Dark Fusion, and fuse Elemental Hero Avian and Elemental Hero Burstinatrix in my hand, to Fusion Summon Evil Hero Inferno Wing!" A monster appeared on the field (ATK 2100). "Not done! Now I activate my final copy of Dark Fusion to fusion summon Elemental Hero Sparkman from my hand and the Evil Hero Inferno Wing I control, to fusion summon, [b]Evil Hero Abyssal Inferno Wing![/b]" And Faze's strongest Evil Hero entered the field, and it was female (ATK 2500). "It gains 300 ATK for every Evil Hero in my graveyard! There's three of my Malicious Edges, Dark Gaia, Malicious Field, Inferno Prodigy, and Inferno Gainer. . . That's an extra 2100 ATK." The spirits of the dead Evil Heroes arose and began circling the more powerful monster, and then they all went into Evil Hero Abyssal Inferno Wing (ATK 4600). "When it destroys a monster by battle, it inflicts to the opponent the total ATK of that monster, and it also inflicts piercing damage. And with Dark Fusion defending it. . . It's the ultimate card! Go, attack Infernity Necromancer!"

[Kyza Kiryu]

He couldn't do a thing. His eyes widen behind his shades as he sees the attack points of Evil Hero Abyssal Inferno Wing. And with Dark Fusion played, he was helpless to the creature's attack.

Kyza braced himself, crying out from the force of Infernity Necromancer's destruction, his lifepoints dropping from 4000 to 1400 as he was flung backwards, slamming hard into the ground. He coughs and splutters, his body usually weak from the genetics inherited from his father, and he was feeling the strain of duels in rapid succession. First Aki, then Rex, then Aki again, now this...

He lays there, gazing up at the blackness of the sky as he starts to get up, ignoring the laughing in his head, trying not to look at Teslarc, convinced she'd be sneering down at him now. He was no where near as skilled as his father. He was topdecking, unlike his dad who ruled the graveyard, the true master of the Handless combo.

"Infernity Necromancer...... has 0 attack...." He gasps out, spittle dribbling down his chin as he looks up towards Faze, "so I just take piercing damage.... I.... I won't activate..... Infernity Avenger's effect....." he pants hard, hauling himself weakly to his feet, stumbling a little as he strains to straighten up, "....he'll stay in the graveyard...."

He truely looked sick now, his red hair falling around his face, panting heavily, waiting for the rest of Faze's turn, waiting to see if this was the end of the duel of if he had one more chance.

[Merci]

Faze looked at the last card in her hand and looked back at her opponent. "You are lucky I've chosen to give you one final chance." She said. "Had I chosen to destroy your precious little dragon instead, you would have lost. Of course, you might attempt to destroy my monster via your dragon's effect. That's why there's this card. Activate equip spell card, Immortal Binding. By paying half my life points (Faze LP 2325), I can equip it to a Level 8 or higher monster on the field, and negate its effect ignoring the effect of that monster. Thus, even if your monster has an effect that negates these kind of things, it wouldn't work. Ha! I can even capture the gods with this card! Now then, turn end. This is your final turn. When my turn comes, you shall no longer exist." A grin stretched across Faze's face, suggesting insanity.

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

Meanwhile, an unknown distance away, the wild girl from before pulled out a golden fob watch with markings on the outer casing that resembled a clock at eleven o'clock. She concentrated, and the fob watch shot into the air and rocketed off to Kyza. Just as Faze ended her turn, the fob watch descended in front of Kyza and landed gently on the ground in front of him. Teslarc was intrigued. [color=#FF2400]"Well, well, well. It seems this is your Trial By Fire. Kyza, remember our Vortex Synchro Monster that we made together? It is time for you to get one of your own, but to do that, you need a Fusion Tuner."[/color] Teslarc pulled out a blank card and handed it to Kyza. [color=#FF2400]"This card already imbued with the power needed to split off part of yourself. Choose wisely, because this part of you will be separated from you until it can be reunited again."[/color]

Zarkus smiled as his work above him, two of the five viral cores floating up in the sky. "Three more to go..." he said, as a red glow surrounded his body, yet another portal opening up behind him as he moved to an unknown location. Meanwhile, Zero himself was floating over Jack Atlas, completely out of view. "His new power is rather unexpected." he said, as Jack Atlas looked forward, both of his eyes now having black sclera and yellow iris', the characteristic look of the Dark Signers. Not only that, but his deck was completely revamped, containing several new, more powerful cards. Zero let off a slight chuckle and disappeared through a portal, approaching Law and Chaos, saying only one thing:

"Things are looking up for us."
