WHOA! RED FLAG, RED FLAG!!! Something is definitely wrong there!
I got a call from Yosuke, in a conference call with Yu.
"Hey did you see that? That was Yukiko for sure! It looked like her, I mean she even said her name! But didn't the stuff she was saying sound weird? And she looked like she was on some low budget show, was it like this before too? What's going on?" Yosuke asked
"Try to contact Chie." I said
"You're right! Let's get her to contact Yukiko! Tomorrow's Sunday, so let's meet up at Junes first thing in the morning!" He said
We hung up, then I went to bed.
April 17
Yu and I headed downstairs, Nanako is just sitting by herself at the table.
"Oh, good morning." She said
"You're up early today." I said
"Dad woke up early, so I woke up with him. He said he's gonna be late." She said
I don't want to leave her alone, especially with that psycho out there, but, we've got to rescue Yukiko, and from what I can tell she's smart enough not to answer the door to strangers.
"Are you going somewhere?" She asked. "I'll be fine by myself."
She turned on the TV.
"So the weather this weekend will be perfect for going out. As for next week's forecast-"
"Oh, the sun's gonna come out. I should do some laundry. Umm, weren't you going somewhere?" She asked
We headed out, before I could catch up to Yu and reach Junes, something appeared right in front of me, it looks like a Circuit for Summoning Link monsters, anyways I fell through, and into the Velvet Room.
"My apologies for interrupting you, I thought I might do you a favour as one of your companions is, about to do something that would compromise things. I awakened a new ability for you. You now possess the power to pass between dimensions, this world, the TV world, and the real world." Igor said.
"Thanks, but I really gotta get caught up." I said
"Very well, until we meet again." Igor said as I fell through another portal, in front of Dojima's house!
I walked as fast as I could over to Junes. Yosuke, Chie and Yu were sitting at a table.
"Sorry I'm late, I got held up by something." I said
"It's probably for the best, if you had come with you mighta ended back in Juvie." Yosuke said
Apparently Yosuke had the genius idea of waving weapons around in public, causing him and Yu to get arrested. They're wearing their school uniforms to hide the weapons and gear they got.
"I won't need any, I've got my own weapons." I said.
"Yeah, I guess we really stick out, it doesn't help that we're wearing our uniforms on a Sunday. The sale should end soon, so that should get rid of the people wandering around here. Alright, let's get going." He said. "Chie it's not too late to-"
"I'm going!"
"Fine, but don't push yourself, got it?" Yosuke said
We headed into the TV world.
We met up with Teddie, who was standing over in the corner holding his head. I'm not sure what's going on here.
"Whoa, it really is that bear from last time!"
Chie said
"What're you doing?" Yosuke asked
"Can't you tell, I'm thinking about stuff. I've been delibearating over it for a long time now. Hey, that wasn't a bad joke! Heehee!"
"Ugh, so, did you figure anything out?" Yosuke asked. "Eh, it's probably useless to think about it too much, I've seen the inside of your skull, and it was empty."
"How rude! You're right though, I try and try but nothing comes out of my head." Teddie said
"Will you guys shut up! Now's not the time for stupid jokes! Listen, someone came here yesterday, right?" Chie said
"Wow! There's a girl with a better nose than me! What's your name miss?"
"Miss? Uh I'm Chie, but never mind that, tell me more about that someone!" Chie said
"I think it happened a little while after I talked to you guys. After that it felt like someone was in here." Teddie said
"Is it Yukiko?" Yosuke asked
"I don't know, I haven't looked! The presence is over that way. That's probably where they are."
"Over there huh? Is everyone ready?" Chie asked
"Yeah." Yosuke said
Chie went running off in that direction.
We followed her and Teddie to a giant castle. It's the same one from the Midnight Channel last night!
"What the- a castle? You think this is the place they showed on TV last time?" Chie asked
"You're positive that no one's behind a camera for that bizarre midnight program?" Yosuke asked
"Program? I don't know. Maybe people on your side can see stuff in this world. It might be that. And I told you before! There's only me and shadows here! There no camera stuff going on. This world has been like this from the beginning." Teddie said
"From the beginning? That's what we don't understand." Yosuke said
"I dunno, can you guys explain everything about your world?" Teddie asked
Not really because I'm from another dimension apparently.
"I've never seen this program thingy, before, so I don't know." Teddie said
"Well, is that really what's happening? Are we really looking into this world? Because the first time Yukiko showed up on that channel before she disappeared, doesn't that seem off? I mean Yukiko saying stuff like "score myself a hot stud" that's not like her at all!" Chie said
"Score? Stud?" Teddie asked
"Yeah I couldn't believe it either. Yukiko would never say anything like that. I wonder, is this kinda thing like what happened with me and Y/n last time?" Yosuke asked
"There's a lot of stuff I still don't get, but after hearing your story. I think that program happens because of the person that appears on it. Or something like that." Teddie said
"So, Yukiko is producing the show herself? Ugh! I don't get this at all! Hey, do you feel Yukiko's presence from inside?" Chie said
"I'm pretty sure." Teddie said. "So um, what's this scoring with a hot stud thing anyway?"
"Yukiko's here, I'm going on ahead!" Chie said
"Hey wait don't go alone!" Yosuke said. "Geez, we better follow her."
The four of us ran after her.
We charged through the castle, smashing shadow after shadow, until we reached the second floor.
"There She is! Chie is in there!" Teddie said as we approached a huge door.
We found Chie in a large empty room.
"Chie! Are you alright?" Yosuke asked. "Chie?"
She's just standing there, staring at the ceiling.
"She said that red looks good on me." Yukiko's voice said
"Yukiko?" Yosuke asked
"I hated my name. Yukiko, "Snow". Snow is cold and it melts quickly, it's transient, worthless, but it's perfect for me. Apart from inheriting the Inn, I'm worthless. Still, Chie told me that red looks good on me." Yukiko's voice said
"Are these, Yukiko's inner thoughts? I remember hearing Saki-senpai's too." Yosuke asked
"Yeah. This castle is probably here because of this Yukiko person." Teddie said
"Yukiko." Chie said
"Chie was the only one who gave my life meaning. She's bright and strong, and she can do anything. She has everything I don't. Compared to Chie I'm, I'm-, Chie protects me. She looks after my worthless life, and I, I don't deserve any of it. Chie is so kind." Yukiko's voice said
"Yukiko, I-I-"
"Chie is so kind huh? What a joke." A distorted voice said
"W-what!?" Chie said
A shadow that looked like Chie approached us.
"Oh man, is that-!?"
"It's just like Yosuke and Y/n!" Teddie said. "She lost control of her suppressed self! Now it's a shadow!"
"Are we talking about THAT Yukiko!? She says I'm protecting her!? She says she's worthless! *chuckle*, that's how it should be, right?" S Chie said
"Wh-What're you saying?" Chie asked
"Yukiko's sooo good looking, sooo fair skinned, sooo feminine. She's the one all the guys drool over. When Yukiko looked at me with such jealousy, man did I get a charge out of that! Yukiko knows the score, she can't do anything if I'm not around! I'm better than her! Much much better!" S Chie said
"No! I have never thought that!" Chie said
"What're we gonna do?" Yosuke asked
The Data Storm is getting closer.
"We need to protect Chie right now!" Teddie said
"N-no! Don't come near me! Don't look at me!" She said
"Chie calm down!" Yosuke said
"No! No! This isn't me!" She said
"Wait stupid! Don't say anything else like that!" Yosuke said
"*chuckle* that's right. I'm the one who can't do anything alone. I can't win as a girl, let alone as a person. I'm pathetic. But Yukiko, She depends on me. That's why she's my friend. I'll never loosen my grip on her, she's too important to me." S Chie said
"No! That is not how I think of her." Chie said
"*chuckle* so you're just gonna turn your back and deny me again? But things are different now. When the time comes, I'll be the one left standing. You won't mind, right? I'm still you!" S Chie said
"Shut up! You're-"
"Chie no!" Yosuke said
"YOU'RE NOT ME!" Chie said
"*chuckle, heehee, ahahahahahaha!" S Chie said as it exploded and turned into this.
"It's coming! You have to use your powers to save Chie!" Teddie said
The Data Storm appeared inside and swooped the frame of S Chie inside of it.
"First things first! We have to settle this!" She said. "It'll be with a Master Duel!"
"Very well! Let's go!" I said
My life Points: 8000
S Chie's Life Points: 8000
"I'll go first! I'll start by activating the field spell hidden village of the ninjitsu arts! Then I set the Pendulum Scale with Scale 1 Twilight Ninja Jogen, and Scale 10 Twilight Ninja Kagen! Appear my monsters! Appear, my two Red Dragon Ninjas! Appear, the circuit that reveals the darkness! I set my two Red Dragon Ninjas in the Link Markers to Link Summon! Appear, Link 2, Ninja Grandmaster Saizo! I use it's effect to set one Ninja Art Spell or trap Card from my Deck!! I set Ninjintsu Art of Mirage transformation from my deck, and end my turn!" She said
Ok, interesting start. She's got a 2000 attack point beat stick on the field.
"I draw! I summon Pikari @Ignister, then add the field spell AILand to my hand! Appear, the Circuit that reaches out to the truth! I Link Summon, Linguriboh! Then I activate the Field Spell AILand! Since I control no monsters in the main zone, I can special summon a monster from my hand! I summon Doyon! I use it's effect to add Pikari back to my hand! Then I special summon Hiyari to Linguriboh's zone! Now I set Hiyari, Doyon and Linguriboh in the Link Markers! Appear the Circuit that Reaches Out to the truth! I Summon @Ignister Dark Templar! I use AILand's effect to special summon Pikari to Templar's zone! Templar's effect lets me summon Doyon and Hiyari to it's zone! Appear! The circuit that reaches out to the truth! I Link Summon! Link 3: @Ignister Fire Phoenix! I can also summon Hiyari and Doyon back from the graveyard! I activate the Link Spell Judgement Arrows! Link Monster's linked to this card have their attack points doubled! Let's see, do I go fusion or ritual? Better go Ritual while I have Leviathan in my hand! I activate the spell A.I's Ritual! Since I control a water @Ignister Monster, I can banish an @Ignister from my Graveyard to make up for the levels! I sacrifice Hiyari, Doyon and banish Pikari to Ritual Summon, @Ignister Water Leviathan! Time to end this! I use Leviathan's effect to return your Link Monster back to the Extra Deck!"
"I activate my Shadow Skill! Eat consequences!"
"You can't do that it's a Master Duel!" I said
"You're rules don't work here! I negate your monster's effect, then special summon a monster from my extra Deck! I summon Blade Armour Ninja! I can then draw cards equal to the amount of monsters on my field, and then deal you 2000 points of damage for every monster on yours! That's 6000!"
My Life Points: 8000 - 2000
That was so bullshit it's not even funny.
"I end my turn." I said
"My turn then! Hahahaha! I Pendulum Summon, Ninja Shadows Red and Green! Appear! The circuit that reveals the darkness! I set Blade Armour Ninja and Red Shadow! I Link Summon, Dark Shadow: Ungraceful Ninja!"
"Now I send the top five cards of my deck to the graveyard! This card gains 2500 attack points for each time this effect activates! Now, let's get rid of that annoying Templar. I attack it with Ungraceful Ninja! Ninjitsu Art: Dark Tendril Strike!"
The tendrils on the side of Ungraceful Ninja spun around and shredded through Templar.
My Life Points: 2000 - 300
"Now, before I end my turn, I'll activate Green's effect! By banishing it and a trap card I control, I can destroy any Link monster you control, and lock you out of your extra Deck as long as you only have less than 1000 life points, meaning you can't add to it either!" She said
"I don't think you understand. I don't need that power to stop you. I don't need a Persona to destroy shadows, I have my willpower and determination! Since you said rules don't apply, then I'll use a skill too! I activate my Skill! Alternate Access! If I have less than 500 life points, I can add one monster from the data storm to my main deck, and I can draw two cards! Perfect! It's over! I activate the spell Arcana Ritual! I can pay 100 life points to make up the difference in levels for a Ritual Summon! I tribute Leviathan to Ritual Summon, @Ignister Arcana Warrior: The Chariot!"
"I use Chariot's effect! I can destroy one monster you control and have this monster gain its attack points! Battle! When the Chariot Declares an attack, it special summons a token with no attack points to your side of the field! When the Chariot Declares an attack, its attack points are doubled! Go! Gate of Babylon!"
Chariot attack points: 2800 - 6800 - 13600
A huge barrage of spears and swords shredded through the token and annihilated S Chie's attack Points. Time to save her.
