* [ObeliskForce] so hey Kaito something's been happening. Some big tournament thing's going on and there's dimensional invaders and people turning into cards. In general, bad stuff going on.
* Kaito yes, and I'm landing into it.... in what area, shall we say
* [ObeliskForce] let's say the Ruins
* [ObeliskForce] perhaps the Colosseum of the Ancients?
* Kaito sure, and I'm landing with Orbital 7: Jetpack Mode, wearing goggles.
* [ObeliskForce] it seems quiet right here, which is a contrast to the amount of activity you spotted when flying overhead. But it feels... too quiet.
* Kaito readies his feet, eyes narrowing.
* Kaito as Orbital disengages himself
* [ObeliskForce] your eyes adjust to the area, and-- already, a couple Hunting Hounds have moved to block the main entrance into the colosseum. They're definitely here.
<Kaito> ...
<Kaito> Come out you sinners, it's time for your execution.
* Kaito raises his Duel Disk
* [ObeliskForce] ... they start laughing, as they come out. Two of them. They seem terribly amused by your statement.
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF1> Sounds like this prey has some bite to him.
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF2> Sure is fancy, coming in on a jetpack like that.
<Kaito> <Orbital> I'm not just a Jetpack!
<Kaito> Quiet.
* Kaito Orbital slumps, no moment of sharp retort allowed.
<Kaito> Now, let's count up your sins... ::Activates his belt.::
<Kaito> Orbital, Cipher Mode Release!
<Kaito> <Orbital> Roger, boss! ::A new transformation lights up for Kaito, his wings glowing like a rainbow, as his jacket seems to reflect the area around him, and a Galaxy-Eyes helmet forms on his head.::
<Kaito> And now
* [ObeliskForce] ... the two Obelisk Force members whisper to each other. Hey, isn't that kinda like what the generals have shown off a bit? nah, it can't be, that's Academia tech... maybe this guy stole it? even more reason to take him out.
* Kaito points his hand out as a laser whip snaps around both of your arms.
<Kaito> Duel Anchor
* [ObeliskForce] !? ... they both smirk.
<Kaito> Neither of you can escape as long as I will it!
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF1> We could say the same thing.
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF2> We're not letting someone like you get out of our grasp!
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF1> Now, come on! Due--
* @[Kai] ... and then some white-haired guy comes barreling past the Hunting Hounds and into the colosseum, throughly distracting them. The hounds weren't even sure what to do about it. One of them has a part of it's head caved in by something. It's a mess.
<Kaito> ?!
* @[Kai] he finally stops, holding a glowing mechanical blue club of sorts-- which vanishes as he looks around. He sees the two Obelisk Forces. And then Kaito. Whom he raises his hand in greeting. "Hey there."
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF2> Who the hell is this guy...?
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF1> Who cares who he is, look at one of the Hounds! Who does that kind of thing!?
<Kaito> ...You're one of the Barians, right?
<@[Kai]> That's right. Kai's the name! And... You're Kaito, right? You helped out Koyo back when that whole mess was happening. *... he rubs his head a bit* Though... I didn't really expect to find you. I just saw some glowing and those robot dogs that've been causing problems...
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF2> "Barian"? Whatever-- so an interloper then? Fine, we'll turn you into a card as well!
* [ObeliskForce] the Obelisk Forces force Kai's disk to activate, registering him to the duel.
<Kaito> I helped the Barians near the end of that crisis, yes.
* @[Kai] oh-- well, that's a thing.
<Kaito> However this isn't the time to be talking about the past
<@[Kai]> Right, yeah. Present time. Present time's good to focus on now.
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF1> Now, if there's no more interruptions... DUEL! (8000 LP)
* [ObeliskForce] the two guys draw their cards. One of them nods to the other, as they start.
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF1> I activate Fusion Recycling Plant! *the backdrop overlays around the colosseum, the machinery at work* I discard Metaverse from my hand to add Polymerization from the deck. Next, set two cards... and summon Ancient Gear Knight! (1800 ATK) I end my turn!
* [ObeliskForce] the Knight appears, spear arm at ready.
<Kaito> Draw.
<Kaito> Normal Summon, Galaxy-Eyes Cloudragon! ::A cute little chibi Galaxy-Eyes appears, in a sea of stars and gas.:: (300 ATK)
<Kaito> I Tribute it to Special Summon my very soul from my hand!
* Kaito the Dragon disperses into gas.
* Kaito as a giant boomerang forms in Kaito's hand
<Kaito> Galaxy shining in the darkness... become the ray of hope and form to become my servant! Descend before me, incarnation of light and the partner I share my soul!
* Kaito spins the boomerang flying into the air as the gas and stars form around it, turning into a massive dragon, rippling with starlight muscles
<Kaito> Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon! (3000 ATK)
* Kaito the young bull of a dragon looks down at the Obelisk Forces with the biggest shit eating grint
<Kaito> *grin
* [ObeliskForce] the Obelisk Forces step back. Like, the hell is that thing? "Galaxy-Eyes"? Isn't that... well, whatever, they can handle this!
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF1> Like a 3000 ATK monster's gonna do anything for you in the long run!
<Kaito> Then you don't understand a thing.
<Kaito> Photon Stream of Destruction! ::Ginga rears his head, and fires a laser blast at Ancient Gear Knight.::
* [ObeliskForce] the Knight is utterly decimated.
* [ObeliskForce] 6800 LP
* Kaito looks over his hand. 'No back row cards... tch...' "End Turn"
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF2> Draw!
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF2> Fusion Recycling Plant! I discard Ancient Gear Reactor Dragon to add Polymerization from the deck! *he pitches the card to the Graveyard as his deck spits out the other.* Now... Summon, Ancient Gear Hunting Hound! (1000 ATK) I inflict 600 damage to you two!
* [ObeliskForce] the Hound appears, and opens it mouth. it's mouth has a gun inside. which shoots at Kaito specifically.
* Kaito winces, losing his foot for a second before pounding his heel into the stone.
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF2> Hunting Hound's effect! I can use it to conduct a Fusion! Go! Hound and Ancient Gear Knight in my hand! *Knight appears, as it and the Hound swirl together, and they bring their hands together* Fusion Summon! Appear now, Ancient Gear Howitzer! (1800 DEF)
* [ObeliskForce] an odd mechanically-winged creature appears. it's arms are guns. Guns pointed at you, Kaito.
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF2> Effect activate! I inflict 1000 damage to you!
* [ObeliskForce] the guns go off
* Kaito okay, that massive shell hits me, and definitely knocks me back, dragging you two assclowns with me.
* [ObeliskForce] the two assclowns get dragged along, but they try to keep their footing, digging into the ground.
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF2> S-set one card, and end my turn! I add back Hunting Hound to my hand due to Recycling Plant!
<@[Kai]> It's my turn now! Draw!
<@[Kai]> Let's set the stage! Activate, field spell! Rising Sun Over the Aurora Sea! *he puts the card in, as an ocean seems to overlay slightly around the arena, a sunrise in the distance. The Obelisk Forces-- you could just almost seem them raising an eyebrow*
<@[Kai]> Next, I summon Aurora Summoner! (1600 ATK) *the semi-aquatic spellcaster appears, coming up from the translucent sea*
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF1> *... pointing* What in the world's "Aurora"? We've never heard of cards like that before!
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF2> These two might be those "special case" types intel's mentioned.
<Kaito> Heh, you wouldn't.
<@[Kai]> You're about to be pretty well-acquainted soon enough. Battle! You mind if I borrow Galaxy-Eyes for a moment?
* @[Kai] least he asks. polite boy.
<Kaito> Ginga?
* Kaito the dragon gives a non-chalant shrug and growl
<Kaito> I think you can tell what he said
<@[Kai]> Right, sure. Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon! Attack Howitzer! Photon Stream of Destruction!
* Kaito the dragon rears his head with an affirmative growl and burns the giant machine to slag and scrap
* @[Kai] Howitzer is destroyed, but from the scrap, something rises up...!
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF2> Howitzer's effect! Ignoring summoning conditions... I special summon from the deck! Ancient! Gear! Golemmmm! (3000 ATK)
* [ObeliskForce] how the hell did something that big end up coming from that slag heap!?
* Kaito looks absolutely baffled
<@[Kai]> ... I think I've got an idea of what to do here.
<@[Kai]> Summoner! Attack Ancient Gear Golem! *to the two Obelisk Forces' shock, Summoner just goes right at Ancient Gear Golem, before getting just crushed and turning into water. to their surprise though, their opponents' LP only goes down to 5600... and the water starts to reform underfoot.*
<Kaito> You're more than welcome.
<Kaito> <...
<Kaito> ?!
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF1> What the...?!
<Kaito> <Orbital> Is he okay in the head, boss??
<Kaito> ...
<Kaito> Oh. Heh.
* Kaito grins
<@[Kai]> Heh. Summoner's effect! I revive them from death itself! *a drop-- like something falling in the water-- is heard echoing around, as Summoner reforms, now glowing an array of colors. (1600 > 1700 ATK)* Main Phase 2. Summoner's effect! I send Aurora Dragonpulse Carp from my deck to the Grave, to Special Summon... Aurora Belon! (1400 > 1500 ATK)
* @[Kai] an icy-winged bird springs up from the water, hovering next to Summoner.
<@[Kai]> Now... Construct the Overlay Network!
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF1> What!? <OF2> Is he a remenant of Xyz!?
* @[Kai] giving a look at that, like. What? Nevermind, not going to stop me.
<@[Kai]> Level 4 Belon, and Level 4 Summoner! Combine and form the ship that sails through the abyssal seas! Number 101!
* @[Kai] the 101 appears over the swirling network, as a pointed "ship" emerges, it's red core glowing intensely.
<@[Kai]> Silent Honor ARK! (2100 > 2200 ATK)
* [ObeliskForce] ... one of the Obelisks starts to snigger.
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF1> What, 2200 ATK? I might've never seen that before, but there's no way that can handle Ancient Gear Golem.
<Kaito> Monsters are more than their ATK scores, you oafs.
<@[Kai]> True, that's why I'm going to steal it instead. Effect activate! I detach both materials... to add Ancient Gear Golem as a material to Silent Honor ARK! *the core sends out a copy of itself, effectively "capturing" Ancient Gear Golem and condensing it, until it becomes a glowing material.*
* [ObeliskForce] the Obelisk Forces are less than pleased, especially when the second one whaps the first upside the head for jinxing it.
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF2> You dare use one of our Golems for an Xyz monster...?!
<@[Kai]> Yeah. Pretty much. End turn!
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF1> *he rubs the back of his head, ow. Before he draws* Draw!
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF2> You might think that you've got an advantage, taking away our Golem. But I left a little gift for my partner!
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF1> Activate now! Ancient Gear Reborn! *the card flips up, as something emerges from it* I revive the monster that was sent before! Ancient Gear Reactor Dragon! And even give it a little boost, as well! (3000 > 3200 ATK)
* [ObeliskForce] a great mechanical dragon emerges from the card, spreading it's wings that almost look leathery, eyes glowing red.
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF1> Next, Recycling Plant! I discard Polymerization to add Polymerization from my deck... and then activate my set Metaverse! Replace the Recycling Plant with Geartown!
* [ObeliskForce] the Recycling Plant breaks apart, being replaced by more mechanical structures.
* Kaito ... why would you discard a card for a card you already have
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF1> *Deck thinning!* Reactor Dragon! Attack that "Galaxy-Eyes" dragon! Draining aura!
* Kaito has a look of shock as the life in Ginga's starlight drains
* [ObeliskForce] the Dragon's stare pierces through Galaxy-Eyes, before it suddenly sticks it through with it's sword.
* Kaito winces as Ginga is struck down (5400 LP)
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF1> Effect activate! I destroy a spell or trap card on the field... so I destroy Geartown! *the town breaks apart... but then reforms into a new monster.* Special Summon as a result! Ancient Gear Hydra! (2700 ATK)
<@[Kai]> Ergh, that's not a good thing.
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF1> Hydra! Get rid of that "Number" thing! *it's multiple heads strike out at the ship-- but to it's frustration, the AGG material expands out to buffer it.*
* @[Kai] meanwhile makes a bit of a face. Even if 101 probably won't need it, it's a little annoying that effect goes off first... Numbers are weird. (4800 LP)
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF1> Guh, so it's got an ability to stop destruction, huh? Fine! You bought yourself a little time! End turn!
<Kaito> Draw.
<Kaito> ...
<Kaito> Time to clear the field out a bit.
<Kaito> I discard Galaxy Wizard to fuel the Summon of my Galaxy Soldier! (0 DEF)
<Kaito> When Galaxy Soldier is Summoned like this I can add a Galaxy card from my Deck to my hand, in this case, Galaxy Knight!
<Kaito> I Normal Summon Galaxy Knight without a Tribute! (2800 ATK) ::A knight on a floating board appears next to the mechanical stellar soldier.::
<Kaito> By reducing its ATK to 1000, I can revive a Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon from my Grave! (2500 DEF)
* Kaito the knight slashes open a hole in the world as Ginga appears again, crouching defensively.
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF2> So you brought back your dragon? So what?
<Kaito> For this! I construct the Overlay Network! ::Ginga grabs the skull of Galaxy Knight, crushing it.:: Galaxy shining in the darkness... ::The knights energies swirl around Ginga as he pushes up, floating in the air, gaining a rainbow luminence.::
<Kaito> Become the iron hammer of justice as my very servant! Xyz Summon! Come forth!
* Kaito a huge wave of light shines over the field before being sucked back in
<Kaito> The Rank 8, Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Dragon!
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF1> Another Xyz Summoner!? <OF2> They must both be from Xyz, then! Have the remnants spread this far?!
* Kaito Ginga floats there, glowing like a rainbow.
<Kaito> ... Remnants? I'm the strongest field agent of B.E.A.S.T.
<Kaito> Effect activate! Cipher Projection! I steal your Hydra, turning it into a copy of Cipher Dragon!
* Kaito detaches a material as rainbow rays fire at Hydra, twisting it into a copy of Cipher Dragon
<Kaito> And it changes to my side of the field!
<Kaito> However, monsters I control cannot attack directly this turn!
<Kaito> Orbital, Scan that Ancient Gear!
<Kaito> <Orbital> Roger roger, Master Kaito!
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF2> A remnant stealing our monsters... We'd be laughing stocks if anyone found out about this!
* @[Kai] I think you're already laughing stocks from my position...
<Kaito> I reconstruct the Overlay Network with my Cipher Dragon! Xyz Change! At the end of the Galaxy's Light, a new world appears! Descend, scion of divinity itself! ::A pillar of light blasts Ginga.:: Armored Xyz Summon! Come forth, the new incarnation of light!
* Kaito a huge armored version of Ginga appears with two giant blaster cannons appears, growling eagerly (4000 ATK)
<Kaito> Galaxy-Eyes Full Armor Photon Dragon!
<Kaito> I detach 1 Xyz Material, Galaxy Knight, to activate Ginga's effect! Galaxy Sidewinder! I destroy your Reactor Dragon!
* Kaito two swirling laser streams rip through Reactor Dragon, reducing it to scrap like Howitzer and Knight before it
* [ObeliskForce] Reactor Dragon explodes and becomes pieces and rubble. It's fine! You can't attack us directly this turn!
<Kaito> <Orbital> Analysis Complete, Kaito-sama!
<Kaito> And?
<Kaito> <Orbital> No Relation to the Clockwork Army of the Ancient Fairy.
<Kaito> So it's of no value to us.
* [ObeliskForce] they give confused looks. Clockwork Army? Ancient Fairy?
<Kaito> Ginga! One more time! Xyz Change! At the end of the Galaxy's Era, a new dawn arises! Descend, champion of the invisible world! ::A huge pillar of light erupts a second time.::
<Kaito> Xyz Summon! Come forth, the champion of light! Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Blade Dragon (3200 ATK)
<Kaito> By detaching Cipher Dragon, I destroy your captured Hydra!  Galaxy Guillotine! ::Ginga roars, slicing through the neck of his clone, as the Ancient Gear shatters.::
* [ObeliskForce] the wince as Hydra gets destroyed.
<Kaito> I discard the monster Cipher Wing from my hand to Special Summon a second Soldier, but I can't search again!
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF1> You already stole it, and now you destroy it?! <OF2> Cruel!
<Kaito> It's of no use to me and you'd get it back, so why should I leave it around, you sentimental crminals!
* Kaito thrusts his hand out
<Kaito> OVERLAY! The new age of cybernetic warfare descends, in the waves of the galaxy! Cyber Dragon Nova (2100 ATK)
<Kaito> Rank-Up Xyz Change! Cyber Dragon Nova! ::It rears up, into a combat mode.:: is now Cyber Dragon Infinity! (2100 ATK)
<Kaito> and for each Xyz Material attached, it raises to 2700 ATK!
<Kaito> Turn End!
* Kaito ... when he does, Orbital rings like a telephone
* Kaito .. ignores, growling
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF2> Dra-- are you seriously getting a call in the middle of a duel?!
<Kaito> Take your move!
<Kaito> <Orbital> Boss, it's urgent.
* [ObeliskForce] so rude!
<Kaito> HOW URGENT
<Kaito> <Orbital> It's Haruto's number but...
<@[Kai]> Haruto?
* Kaito picks up the phone... which is literally Orbital's head
* [ObeliskForce] ... both Obelisks bristle
* Kaito 's eyes narrow under his visor.
* [ObeliskForce] the second one activates Ancient Gear Double Imitation while you listen, Reactor Dragon (3000 ATK) and Hydra (2700 ATK) re-emerging onto the field...
<Kaito> ... ... ...
<Kaito> I'll see YOU IN HELL. ::Slams the phone down, realizing he missed his chance to use his monster's negation effect, growling.::
<Kaito> <Orbital> ::He winces fixing his head onto his neck.::
<@[Kai]> ... not a good call, I'm taking it.
<Kaito> After we clock these two clowns.
* Kaito says this like he'll skin you alive if you talk to him funny, Kai.
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF2> Like you'll have time to do that! Summon, Ancient Gear Hunting Hound! I inflict 600 more damage to you! *mouth-gun.*
* @[Kai] right, right, shutting up.
* Kaito who, me.
* Kaito if so, completely tanks the shot
* [ObeliskForce] yes you, since you went and took a call! I'm mad!
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF2> Hound's effect! I conduct a Fusion! Hound and Wyvern! *Wyvern appears from the hand, as the two swirl together. Hands together now.* Fusion Summon! Ancient Gear Howitzer! (1800 DEF) I inflict 1000 more damage!
* [ObeliskForce] the guns fire at you Kaito. You're taking all of the shots!
* Kaito grabs the shell out of the air, and football slams it onto the ground, as it explodes
* [ObeliskForce] ... they both step back a little. Even as your LP shows as 3200.
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF2> ... R-reactor Dragon! Destroy Cyber Dragon Infinity!
* [ObeliskForce] Reactor Dragon flies in and pierces through Infinity
<Kaito> Don't mess with me! ::His dragon is shattered.::
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF2> I should be saying that to you, remnant! Hydra, destroy that "Number"! *Hydra moves in, it's many heads chomping at it...*
* @[Kai] ... but still, Number 101 refuses to die. (2300 LP)
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF1> What... is that thing invincible...?!
<@[Kai]> Of course not! It just means it's not going to die to something as little as a robot hydra.
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF2> Or you just have broken cards. Whatever! I end my turn!
* @[Kai] I'll show you "broken".
<@[Kai]> Draw!
<@[Kai]> I'm going to have to borrow your dragon again. Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Blade Dragon! I detach a material to destroy the Reactor Dragon!
<Kaito> Just be aware it can't be used as an Xyz Material.
<@[Kai]> That's fine with me. I've got a little something in mind.
* Kaito Ginga nods grimly, as he swings his arm back and then spins like a tornado, decapitating the mechanical dragon
* [ObeliskForce] there it goes
<@[Kai]> Next... Summon! Aurora Titan! *a partially-ice titan appears from the water-- but then it cracks* Activate Crashing Waves of the Aurora Sea! I destroy Aurora Titan... to temporarily negate Cipher Blade Dragon's effect! Sorry about this! *the waves crash against Cipher Blade, dimming it's light...* But now all of the cards I need are set!
<@[Kai]> Aurora Titan. Aurora Belon. Aurora Dragonpulse Carp. Aurora Summoner... I banish all four of these from the Graveyard!
<@[Kai]> Special Summon from my hand! Dragon in the Aurora Lights! (2700 > 2800 ATK) *a great reflective dragon crashes up from the waves, shining in the distant sunrise-- the light reflecting onto Number 101, as it starts to glow as well*
<@[Kai]> Now, evolve in the shining light! Shining Xyz Change!
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF1> A what--? <OF2> "Shining Xyz Change"?
<@[Kai]> It's time to come out and face these attackers! The light of the future! Number S101: Shining Honor ARKADIA! (2800 > 2900 ATK) *the core cracks open on 101, as a lancer appears, it's armor white with glowing red markings. It wastes no time in forming a new core, propelling it at Hydra to capture it before it can even react*
<@[Kai]> <OF2> Again?!
<Kaito> We've fought literal Gods, do you think the likes of you are really a threat to us?!
* Kaito looks at you two like you're way way WAY out of your league
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF1> Ghh... <OF2> What do we do here? <OF1> T-they're just blustering! They're at the disadvantage anyway!
<@[Kai]> Heh, well, since you like burn so much... how about this? ARKADIA, attack Howitzer! *ARKADIA immediately spears through the robot with it's lance, causing it to shatter as they absorb some of it's energy-- and back into Kai and Kaito.* I detach 101 for us to gain half of Howitzer's ATK-- in this case, 500 LP... (2800 LP) And inflict the same to you! *the energy reverses back at the Obelisk Force members, blasting them*
* [ObeliskForce] GAH! (6300 LP)
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF2> That-- that doesn't matter! Howitzer! Special Summon Ancient Gear Golem again! (3000 DEF) *the Golem rises up from the scrap heap, kneeling defensively*
<@[Kai]> Galaxy-Eyes Cipher Blade Dragon! Attack the Golem!
* Kaito Ginga complies swiftly bisecting the robot horizontally in its tornado blade attack
* [ObeliskForce] it falls to pieces. They don't look too happy about that...
* [ObeliskForce] ... especially as the OTHER dragon seems to charge up, absorbing light.
<@[Kai]> Dragon in the Aurora Lights! Attack directly! *the light blasts out, enveloping the two opponents and almost blinding them, as they raise their arms to block it. (3500 LP)*
<@[Kai]> I guess that evened out that "disadvantage", huh? Turn end!
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF1> Ghn... *how dare these two mess around with them...! He draws his card, before pointing* Set one monster! And then revive with Ancient Gear Reborn! Howitzer, to inflict more damage to you! *Howitzer appears, this time pointing it's guns at Kai, shooting at him*
* @[Kai] whoa! he guards against it instinctively. (1800 LP)
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF1> End turn!
<Kaito> ...
<Kaito> Draw!
* Kaito looks at his hand, a bit glowery
<Kaito> Fine!
<Kaito> Since he's been borrowing my partner's power all Duel...
<Kaito> Dragon in the Aurora Lights, attack Howitzer!
* @[Kai] grinning, as Dragon absorbs light, before letting it release onto Howitzer, dissolving it.
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF1> Ghn. Howitzer's effect! I special summon... Ancient Gear Wyvern! (1200 DEF) *a smaller robotic dragon appears, guarding with it's wings* I add Ancient Gear Hunting Hound to my hand by it's effect!
<Kaito> Tch.
<Kaito> Now, ARKADIA, attack that Wyvern and clear the way! And due to it, I detach Hydra to have both myself and my Duel Partner gain 850 Life, while dealing the same to you two!
* @[Kai] ARKADIA spins it's lance, before leaping up and down into the Wyvern, absorbing it's energy as it pierces through-- sending some to Kaito and Kai, and then rebounding upon the Obelisk Force members. (2650 LP)
* [ObeliskForce] (2650 LP) as the energy rebounds, pushing them as they try to keep on their feet
<Kaito> Next, Ginga, clear the set monster!
* [ObeliskForce] the set monster gets sliced through-- another Hunting Hound. Just how many do these guys have?!
* Kaito Ginga floats over and just twists his wrist and slams the blade down
<Kaito> ...
<Kaito> What, is this monster "Unlimited Copies per Deck"?
* Kaito hisses
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF2> We just know how to recycle!
<Kaito> End Turn!
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF2> Draw!
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF2> Come on! Ancient Gear Reborn! I special summon Wyvern from the Graveyard, and add your favorite monster to hand-- Hunting Hound! And then summon them! *The Hound reapppears. And then-- mouth-gun. It considers shooting you Kaito. ... but then shoots Kai instead since he's the one who hasn't grabbed a shell out of midair.*
<@[Kai]> Wha-- hey!
* @[Kai] guards against it again. (2050 LP)
* Kaito yeah, if you shot it at him, he'd of lobbed the shell back at you two bozos.
<[ObeliskForce]> Hound's fusing effect! I fuse together Hound, and the Ancient Gear Beast in my hand! Fusion! Summon! Howitzer! *goddamnit, Howitzer is back. And is shooting at Kai immediately as it appears*
* @[Kai] GAH! (1050 LP)
<@[Kai]> You guys think I'm an easy target or something, huh?!
<Kaito> If they get another turn, just bat the damn thing away with that club from earlier.
<[ObeliskForce]> <OF2> You're as valid a target as anything else, remnant! End turn!
<@[Kai]> I would if it consistently appeared. Draw!
<Kaito> ...
* Kaito stares at you judgingly Kai
<@[Kai]> -- Besides, they won't get a chance now!
<@[Kai]> Summon! Aurora Superior Dragon! (1800 > 1900 ATK)
* @[Kai] god there's like three dragons and a lancer here
* @[Kai] this is an ideal scenario
* [ObeliskForce] they both step back a little, bringing up their arms preemptively
<@[Kai]> Superior Dragon! Attack Howitzer! *The Dragon springs from the water, letting out an icy breath at the Howitzer, which causes it to freeze and shatter. ... and of course, once it dies, Ancient Gear Golem rises up once more, pulling itself up defensively.*
* Kaito Ginga cracks his knuckles so joyfully
* Kaito they sound like they might break something
<@[Kai]> Do you wanna have the honor of saying it?
<Kaito> Ginga, Photon Stream of Destruction!
* Kaito the dragon nods, grabbing Ancient Gear Golem by its arms and firing the laser point blank
* [ObeliskForce] oh god, the Ancient Gear Golem just had it's head literally dissolved off by laser strike.
<@[Kai]> Dragon in the Aurora Lights, attack Wyvern! *the Dragon absorbs light one more time, before releasing, enveloping the Wyvern... and more importantly, leaving the field entirely clear, as ARKADIA steps forward.*
* [ObeliskForce] gh... they can't get away with this tether on...!
<@[Kai]> Shining Honor ARKADIA. Attack directly.
* @[Kai] ARKADIA moves quickly, positioning itself, before it lances through both Obelisk Force members from the side, causing them to yell out and get forced away.
* [ObeliskForce] 0000 LP -- LOSE
* Kaito marching towards you both, you're gonna die if you don't flee back home.
* [ObeliskForce] ghnn?! yeah, they're not risking Kaito's wrath after what he did before. They activate the transport program on their disks, and before either of you know what's happening-- they've vanished in a flash of light.
<@[Kai]> What-- hey!
* @[Kai] now that isn't fair!
<Kaito> ...
* Kaito growls, as Ginga gives an expression of toodles.
* Kaito his armor shutting down
* TsurugiNKoyo hey, Kai, Kaito, that's a loud motorcycle engine roaring in.
* @[Kai] !? turning around to look as his monsters fade out.
* TsurugiNKoyo a motorcycle roars past, skidding Akira slide style, with two people with swords ready.
* Kaito stares
* @[Kai] ... I expected one of you with swords, the other is a surprise.
<@[Kai]> Koyo!
<TsurugiNKoyo> <Koyo> Where are they at.
<TsurugiNKoyo> <Koyo> We heard a commotion from this direction, and well...
<@[Kai]> Oh, they're gone.
* TsurugiNKoyo both look around
<Kaito> Gone, back to wherever they came. Frankly they were a bunch of cowards.
<TsurugiNKoyo> <Tsurugi> Ugh, really? We come barreling in and... :Just puffs her cheeks looking so offended.::
<@[Kai]> Persistent though. I never want to see another "Hunting Hound" or "Howitzer" again for a long long time.
<Kaito> I need to make sure two of my secondary objectives didn't flee. And likewise, but I doubt we'll be free of those things.
<@[Kai]> Secondary objectives? Though... *looks at Koyo and Tsurugi* Do either of you two know what exactly is going on? All I know right now is just that these guys are causing trouble, and they called us "remnants of Xyz" when we did Xyz summons.
<TsurugiNKoyo> <Koyo> Not much more than you.
<TsurugiNKoyo> <Tsurugi> They look like these terrorists that a lot of boards rumored had attacked Heartland City is all I've got...
<@[Kai]> Wait, really? Like them?
<TsurugiNKoyo> <Tsurugi> ::Nod.::
<Kaito> As to your question. Two criminals who slipped into the event, possibly. I have reason to believe they want to capture one of the contestants and auction them off to the highest bidder.
<TsurugiNKoyo> <Koyo> Wait. Sell?
<Kaito> Have any of you three heard of something called "Fusion Parasite"?
<@[Kai]> Doesn't even ring a vague bell, but-- damnit, and you got held up by those two jokers...
<Kaito> Those two jokers are also part of my objective.
<Kaito> Groups like them have been raiding and attacking cities in the 12 Dimensions.
<@[Kai]> Wait... guys like those? Really?
<TsurugiNKoyo> <Tsurugi> Eeeeh?! As in... monsters?
<Kaito> Yes and yes.
<Kaito> As to the Parasite, essentially it's extremely rare for three things: It's capable of completely mimicking human or higher intelligence, it makes anyone it's attached to highly suggestible, and its body is highly valued for medical research.
<TsurugiNKoyo> <Koyo> ... So a medical goldmine.
<TsurugiNKoyo> <Tsurugi> ... Intelligent, though?
<@[Kai]> And... there's one of those around, and a couple criminals are after them?
<Kaito> Yes, very intelligent, and of what we can surmise, yes.
<Kaito> <Orbital> We know who it might be but for sake of keeping things and identities under protection and confidence, you can understand.
<@[Kai]> Yeah, I get it. But then... you should definitely get moving! Before they manage to do that!
* Kaito snaps fingers, as Orbital shifts into a Bike. What even is this robot, Kai. A do-anything bot.
* Kaito climbs onto his partner, revving.
<Kaito> May we meet again, Barian brothers.
* Kaito salutes.
<TsurugiNKoyo> <Koyo> ::...Salutes?::
<@[Kai]> Right! And... ... good luck with whatever that call was about.
<Kaito> ... If I have good luck, someone is going to be extremely fucked up by the end of this day, and it's not me.
* Kaito zips off
* @[Kai] hnmm, he's not having a good time...
<TsurugiNKoyo> <Tsurugi> Um, I dunno if I can carry a third person, so... cling really hard if you want to get on...?
<@[Kai]> ... Do you mind?
<TsurugiNKoyo> <Tsurugi> I'm offering...?
<@[Kai]> ... alright! *he goes over and gets on best he can and hold on best he can, too. beats walking.*
<TsurugiNKoyo> <Tsurugi> ::REV REV REV, and bolts off.::
