Viewtiful Rekk: ---------------------------------------------------------
Viewtiful
Rekk: Victor chuckles. "So....prepare your cards, Henry
Kaito."
BreakneckChao: "Gngh..." Henry pulled his recently
modified deck from his vest pocket.
OnlineHost:
Viewtiful Rekk rolled 2 6-sided dice: 5

OnlineHost: BreakneckChao rolled 2 6-sided dice:
2 5
Viewtiful
Rekk: "Well, well, it looks as though I'm first."
Victor said with another chuckle as he snatched five cards off of his
deck.
BreakneckChao: Henry drew his five cards. "Okay,
then."
BreakneckChao: 8000/8000
Viewtiful Rekk: "I'll summon Terror
Fang LV2 in attack mode!"
BreakneckChao: "Terror Fang?"
Viewtiful Rekk: A young bat appears, and lets out a screech.
(1000/800)
Viewtiful Rekk: A blue glowing string
suddenly appears from the monster...and runs back into Victor's
body.
BreakneckChao: "...What the..."
BreakneckChao: Henry
watched as the string extended.
BreakneckChao: "...What's with that blue line?"
BreakneckChao: *with
Viewtiful Rekk: Victor smirked. "All
in due time."
Viewtiful Rekk: "For the moment, I
activate Terror Fang's effect!"
Viewtiful
Rekk: The bat rushes over to Henry, and bites into his
neck. Hard.
BreakneckChao: "...Aagh!"
Viewtiful Rekk: "Once per turn, I can deal you damage equal to half of Terror
Fang's attack points."
BreakneckChao: Henry clutched his neck, wincing in
pain.
Viewtiful
Rekk: (8000/7500)
BreakneckChao: Henry rubbed the site of te bite,
feeling the actual impressions of the beast's fangs.
Viewtiful Rekk: "And then...that total gets added to Terror Fang's attack
points....but since it can't attack on the first turn, it matters
little."
Viewtiful Rekk: "I'll set one reverse
card and end my turn."
BreakneckChao: "...Okay, then! I'll
draw!"
BreakneckChao: Henry
pulled the card... and then smirked.
BreakneckChao: "Fine
then... You want to play with level monsters?"
BreakneckChao: "How
about you meet mine!"
BreakneckChao: "I
summon Photon Angel LV 3, in attack mode!"
BreakneckChao: The
little angel appeared, and a similar blue string shot back from the monster into
Henry.
BreakneckChao: "...Whoa..."
Viewtiful Rekk: Victor smirks
interestedly. "Photon Angel...it's been a while since I've seen
one."
BreakneckChao: (1600/600)
BreakneckChao: "Next,
I'll lay a reverse."
BreakneckChao: "And
next, I'll have my angel attack your stupid bat!"
Viewtiful Rekk: A smirk. "Trap card, activate!"
BreakneckChao: "...Wha?"
Viewtiful Rekk: Photon Angel shatters into a thousand pieces. "Sakuretsu
Armor!"
BreakneckChao: Henry's expression
changed.
BreakneckChao: Crap...
BreakneckChao: "Alright then... go."
Viewtiful Rekk: "Now....experience
the true nature of my Shadow Game, Henry Kaito!" Victor exclaims as he points at
Henry.
BreakneckChao: "...What?!"
BreakneckChao: As the
angel was offed, Henry felt like his insides were exploding.
BreakneckChao: "Aah!!!"
BreakneckChao: Henry
keeled over in pain.
BreakneckChao: "But...
I didn't take any damage!"
Viewtiful Rekk: "You didn't...but
your angel did."
Viewtiful Rekk: Victor fingers the
string that goes into his bat for a moment. "These strings...they're like a line
between your monster and yourself."
BreakneckChao: "Uugh..." Henry managed to stand
up.
BreakneckChao: "...So
that's how your little game works..."
Viewtiful
Rekk: "As long as this
Shadow Game is active, we'll feel all pain our monsters
feel."
BreakneckChao: Henry nodded.
BreakneckChao: "Alright then..."
Viewtiful Rekk: "Now then. It's my
turn, you said?"
BreakneckChao: "Yeah."
Viewtiful Rekk: "Draw." He slides a card off his deck.
Viewtiful
Rekk: "Now, since Terror Fang LV2 activated its effect
last turn...I can sacrifice it for my Terror Fang LV4!"
BreakneckChao: Oh, great...
Viewtiful Rekk: The small bat disappears, replaced by a moderately larger one.
(1700/1500)
Viewtiful Rekk: "And since he was
summoned by Terror Fang LV2's effect....he gains the same boost LV2 had!"
(2200/1500)
BreakneckChao: "...So then..."
Viewtiful Rekk: "Now then...." Victor looks at his hand.... "Ah right! Terror Fang
LV4's effect activates!"
Viewtiful Rekk: Again, the bat shoots
forward, and sinks its teeth into Henry's neck. "You'll take damage equal to
half of its attack! 1100 points!"
BreakneckChao: "Aaah... Crap!" Henry swatted at
the bat.
BreakneckChao: Wincing, he placed his hand on his neck again.
BreakneckChao: (-1100)
Viewtiful Rekk: "Heheh....are you
getting a bit woozy, Henry Kaito?"
BreakneckChao: Admittedly... he
was.
BreakneckChao: Henry
wasn't about to let on that easily, though.
BreakneckChao: "...Not
a bit, buddy..."
BreakneckChao: "Are
you done yet?"
Viewtiful
Rekk: "Oh....yes. I suppose
so. Just after one more reverse card."
BreakneckChao: "Okay, then. Draw!
BreakneckChao: "Alright! I play Magical Mallet!
BreakneckChao: Henry
slipped 4 cards back into his deck, and drew 4 more.
BreakneckChao: "Okay, then. I'll lay a defender,
and end my turn."
Viewtiful Rekk: "Draw."
Viewtiful
Rekk: "Since I activated Terror Fang LV4's effect last
turn...." A grin. Henry should know what's coming.
BreakneckChao: "Not
again..."
Viewtiful Rekk: The bat disappears.
"Come out, Terror Fang LV6!" An adult bat comes out and screeches loudly.
(2300/1800)
BreakneckChao: "Crap!"
Viewtiful Rekk: "Then, I'll play Mystical Space Typhoon on your reverse
card!"
BreakneckChao: ...frick!
Viewtiful Rekk: The reversed card on Victor's field activates and shoots out at
Henry's face down card.
BreakneckChao: Mirror Force blows to high
heaven.
Viewtiful
Rekk: "Then I'll set one
defender..."
Viewtiful Rekk: "And have Terror Fang
attack your defender!"
BreakneckChao: Miracle Dove exploded, and Henry
felt the same sensation he had when Photon was destroyed.
BreakneckChao: "Aaaaauugh..."
BreakneckChao: Henry
buckled over
Viewtiful
Rekk: Victor laughs loudly.
"Haha! For someone as experienced as you, you're certainly inexperienced with
Shadow Games!"
Viewtiful Rekk: "Tell me, how
did you beat Bruce? Pure luck?" A pause. "...Ah yes, it
was!"
BreakneckChao: "Shut
up."
BreakneckChao: Henry
managed to pull himself up.
Viewtiful Rekk: "Ooh, did I touch a
nerve?"
Viewtiful Rekk: "Take your turn,
Henry Kaito. It will probably be your last."
BreakneckChao: "Fine... I draw."
BreakneckChao: "First,
I'm gonna take out that frikkin' bat before it bites me again!"
BreakneckChao: "Lightning Vortex!"
Viewtiful Rekk: "Oh? You're
struggling."
Viewtiful Rekk: "How
amusing."
BreakneckChao: *henry discarded one of his
cards*
Viewtiful
Rekk: Terror Fang is wiped
out by the lightning....and Vector grits his teeth in pain as the string is torn
out of his body.
Viewtiful Rekk: "Hh....heh....not
bad..."
BreakneckChao: "Next, I'll play another one of my
level monsters..."
BreakneckChao: "Silent
Magician Lvl 4!"
BreakneckChao: "And
I'll also activate Premature Burial!"
BreakneckChao: Henry
winced as the life points were deducted.
BreakneckChao: (-800)
BreakneckChao: "Photon
Angel LV 3!"
Viewtiful
Rekk: "So...you like LV
monsters too, don't you?"
BreakneckChao: S (1000/1000),
P(1600/600)
BreakneckChao: "We'll
see how much you like them in a second."
Viewtiful
Rekk: The miniature
magician appears...and casts a couple scared glances around at the shadows.
"..H-Henry-kun...what's going on...?" She mumbles.
BreakneckChao: Henry looked down.
BreakneckChao: His
face was nowhere near as calm or happy as it usually was, though he mustered a
grin for the little magician.
BreakneckChao: "We're... in a shadow game."
BreakneckChao: Henry
looked up. "Photon, take that defender out!"
BreakneckChao: The
little angel blipped, and flew at the defender, blasting a beam of light at
it.
Viewtiful
Rekk: She flinches visibly,
but says nothing else, wringing her hands on her stuff
uneasily.
Viewtiful Rekk: Dark Mimic LV1 is
briefly revealed, before it explodes in a shower of
particles.
BreakneckChao: Henry looked down. "Don't worry,
everything will be okay..."
BreakneckChao: The
multiple bite wounds on Henry's neck might suggest otherwise to the kid
magician.
Viewtiful
Rekk: "Grrk!" Victor goes
rigid in pain this time, but doesn't fall over. "Hh...thanks to Dark Mimic's
effect, I draw once..." He snaps a card off my deck.
BreakneckChao: "Draw a card?"
BreakneckChao: Henry
smirked, as Silent gained a counter, and Photon absorbed the monster's
energy.
Viewtiful
Rekk: "Heh...quite
beneficial for you, isn't it...?"
BreakneckChao: S (1500/1000), P
(1800/600)
BreakneckChao: "Looks
like it..."
BreakneckChao: "Silent
Magician, attack him directly!"
Viewtiful Rekk: The young magician
hesitates momentarily...but leaps up, and shoots a small blast at Victor,
sending him flying to the ground.
Viewtiful
Rekk: Victor gets back up, holding a hand over his
chest. "Are you quite done...?"
BreakneckChao: "Go ahead and take your
turn."
Viewtiful
Rekk: "Draw!"
BreakneckChao: S
(2000/1000)
Viewtiful
Rekk: Victor smirks once
more. "I summon Allure Queen LV3 in attack mode!"
Viewtiful Rekk: A young woman
appears, a small flame dancing on one hand and a staff in the other.
(500/500)
Viewtiful Rekk: "Now then...I'll
activate my Allure Queen's effect!" The girl smirks and spins her staff a couple
times....before Photon Angel floats right over to Victor's side of the
field.
BreakneckChao: "...What?!"
BreakneckChao: "How long do you keep him
for?"
Viewtiful
Rekk: A smirk. "Don't worry. I can't use him for
anything."
Viewtiful Rekk: "He just becomes
equipped to Allure Queen."
Viewtiful Rekk: "I end my
turn."
BreakneckChao: "... Alright then. I
draw."
BreakneckChao: "Okay,
then. One reverse."
BreakneckChao: "Now, Silent, attack that Allure
Queen!"
Viewtiful
Rekk: The magician cluthces
her staff and swings it at the Queen...who just giggles as Photon Angel takes
the shot instead.
BreakneckChao: Henry doubles over once again,
shocked at this new development.
BreakneckChao: "What?!
CRAP!"
BreakneckChao: "My... Angel..."
Viewtiful Rekk: Victor has a pained expression for a moment as his life points
drop. "Heh...did I forget to mention....the equipped monster to Allure Queen
acts as a shield."
Viewtiful Rekk: (5000)
BreakneckChao: "Shoot..." Henry shook his
head.
BreakneckChao: "Fine
then... go."
Viewtiful
Rekk: "Heheh....Draw!"
BreakneckChao: S
(2500/1000)
Viewtiful
Rekk: "...Shift Allure
Queen to defense. Set one defender."
Viewtiful
Rekk: "Go.
BreakneckChao: "Draw!"
BreakneckChao: "Another reverse..."
BreakneckChao: "And
I'll attack your Queen with Silent!"
Viewtiful
Rekk: The Queen is
overwhelmed, and Victor's legs buckle for a second.
"Heh..heh....fine."
BreakneckChao: Henry noticed his vision was
blurring slightly. He rubbed the wounds on his neck.
BreakneckChao: Yeesh... those things got me good...
BreakneckChao: "Go
on.."
Viewtiful
Rekk: "Draw!"
Viewtiful Rekk: "Hf....Winged
Kuriboh, in defense mode!"
Viewtiful Rekk: A winged Kuriboh
appears and lets out a 'Kuri Kuri!' (300/200)
Viewtiful
Rekk: "One reverse card...end
turn."
BreakneckChao: "Draw!"
BreakneckChao: Silent
Magician begins to shift field.
Viewtiful Rekk: "....?"
BreakneckChao: "Now, time for Silent Magician to
level up!"
BreakneckChao: "Okay,
then..."
BreakneckChao: "I'll
play the field spell, Luminous Spark!"
BreakneckChao: S
(3500/600)
Viewtiful
Rekk: Winged Kuriboh
'Kuri!'s again. (800/0)
BreakneckChao: "Okay, Silent! Take out that Winged
Kuriboh!"
Viewtiful
Rekk: "....." Victor grins.
"Reverse card, open."
Viewtiful Rekk: "TRANSCENDANT
WINGS!"
BreakneckChao: Henry's jaw drops.
BreakneckChao: "You've... got to be kidding me..."
Viewtiful Rekk: He holds up two cards. "So I'll just discard Dark Lucius LV4, and
Heavy Storm..."
Viewtiful Rekk: "Now I tribute Winged
Kuriboh..." The small puffball glows, and is shrouded in a massive pair of
angelic wings. "To summon WINGED KURIBOH LV10!" (300/200)
Viewtiful
Rekk: "Now I sacrifice Winged Kuriboh LV10...to destroy
your Silent Magician!"
BreakneckChao: "Oh...
crap..."
Viewtiful
Rekk: Winged Kuriboh holds
its wings as a shield, sending Silent LV4's blast right back at it, destroying
the small magician as she lets out a cry of pain.
BreakneckChao: Silent is destroyed, and Henry's
stomach churns again.
Viewtiful Rekk: "And then...you take
damage equal to her attack points!"
BreakneckChao: "...Guh...Errrgh!!"
BreakneckChao: Henry's
back arched, and his vision blurred.
BreakneckChao: It felt
almost as if his very bones were breaking.
BreakneckChao: The boy
fell to the ground, face down.
BreakneckChao: "My...
My body...:
Viewtiful
Rekk: Vector doesn't look
so great himself, several beads of sweat now streaming down his face...but he
manages a chuckle.
Viewtiful Rekk: "How does it feel,
Henry Kaito?"
Viewtiful Rekk: "It's far
worse than with Bruce, wasn't it?"
Viewtiful
Rekk: "That fool had no idea what true pain
is...."
BreakneckChao: Henry barely retuned himself to his
knees.
BreakneckChao: The boy
coughed hard, placing his hand over his mouth.
BreakneckChao: As he
removed his hand, he was startled to find that it was covered in
blood.
BreakneckChao: "...Holy..."
BreakneckChao: Henry
struggled to his feet.
BreakneckChao: (2100)
Viewtiful Rekk: "Heh...heh...if it's
any consolation..."
Viewtiful Rekk: "I don't personally
have anything against you. You're just in the way of my
plans."
BreakneckChao: "I'll try to keep that in mind...
But this is far from over!"
BreakneckChao: "I'll
remove Silent and Miracle Dove from play to special summon...."
Viewtiful Rekk: "...!" Victor's eyes snap open.
BreakneckChao: "Soul of Purity and
Light!"
BreakneckChao: The
card flies up behind Henry, twirling around him and hugging him around the neck,
just as in the card's picture.
Viewtiful Rekk: "....." Victor stares
for a moment.
Viewtiful Rekk: "....Heh...I suppose
that figures..."
BreakneckChao: (2500/1400)
Viewtiful Rekk: "Akito did say you love all sorts of light-attribute
monsters."
BreakneckChao: Henry quirked an
eyebrow.
BreakneckChao: "Akito
talks about me?"
Viewtiful Rekk: "Well....not all too
much."
Viewtiful Rekk: "You just came up in
a conversation about...this particular card."
BreakneckChao: "...About this card... What did he
say?"
BreakneckChao: The
Soul perked up, glancing at Victor.
Viewtiful Rekk: "He said that since
you loved light-types, you probably had this card in your deck." He said, and
smirked. "It was in response to how I told him...that it used to be my
Duel Spirit."
BreakneckChao: "...What?"
BreakneckChao: "The Soul of Purity and Light was
your duel spirit?"
BreakneckChao: "Why did you get rid of it,
then?"
Viewtiful
Rekk: "Get rid of it? Don't
insult me."
Viewtiful Rekk: "She was murdered. I
had no say in the matter."
BreakneckChao: Henry's eyes
widened.
BreakneckChao: "Duel
spirits can be... murdered?"
Viewtiful Rekk: "It's not
particularly easy, but yes. Yes they can."
Viewtiful
Rekk: "At the very least, she was beaten so badly,
she'll never be able to cross back over to this world
again."
BreakneckChao: Henry's muscles shook from a
combination of the damage done to them, and the thought of the same thing
happening to his monster.
BreakneckChao: "...The
Soul and I have been together since I was very little."
Viewtiful Rekk: Victor's face actually turns back to a smirk. "Oh, don't worry
Henry."
Viewtiful Rekk: "I only want
you dead. I'll leave your spirits alone."
BreakneckChao: "...Good."
BreakneckChao: The
Soul clung tightly to Henry, shaking her head as if to say "No!"
Viewtiful Rekk: "...Heh..."
BreakneckChao: "Soul... the only thing we can do
is give it our best. Whatever happens to me..."
BreakneckChao: "Well..."
BreakneckChao: "Just
don't worry about me..."
BreakneckChao: Henry's
eyes narrowed.
BreakneckChao: "Let's
get back to this game!"
Viewtiful Rekk: "Well then. End your
turn."
BreakneckChao: "I'm not ending just
yet..."
BreakneckChao: Henry
smirked.
BreakneckChao: "...I activate Call of the
Haunted!"
Viewtiful
Rekk: "...?"
BreakneckChao: Once again, Photon Angel emerges
onto the field.
BreakneckChao: "But
this time..."
BreakneckChao: "He
gains 500 attack points from Luminous Spark!"
Viewtiful Rekk: "Heh...fine."
BreakneckChao: (2100/200)
BreakneckChao: "Now...
take your turn."
Viewtiful Rekk: "Draw."
Viewtiful Rekk: "...I
pass."
BreakneckChao: "All right then, Victor! My
turn!"
BreakneckChao: "Draw!"
BreakneckChao: Photon
Angel begins to ungelate and shift.
BreakneckChao: "Photon
Angel levels up!"
BreakneckChao: (2500/1000)
Viewtiful Rekk: "...Heh.”
BreakneckChao: "And Level 5 is also affected by my
Luminous Spark!"
BreakneckChao: (3000/600)
BreakneckChao: "Photon! Attack that defender!"
Viewtiful Rekk: Sangan appears briefly, and is vaporized.
Viewtiful
Rekk: "Kh...!" Victor holds a hand over his chest
momentarily. "Heh...Sangan's effect activates!"
BreakneckChao: Photon absorbs the little monster's
energy.
BreakneckChao: (3300/600)
BreakneckChao: "Now,
Soul! Attack Victor directly!"
BreakneckChao: The
Soul relinquished it's grip on Henry, rising up, then shooting at
Victor.
Viewtiful
Rekk: Victor is knocked
down and goes sliding across the ground. (2500)
Viewtiful
Rekk: "Kh..." He slows gets back up. "...I never
thought you'd be this much of a problem..."
Viewtiful
Rekk: He shoots an almost deranged look at Henry.
"You've proven far stronger than I anticipated!"
BreakneckChao: Henry's knees shake, simply trying
to hold him up.
BreakneckChao: "I
guess... I should take that as a compliment.."
BreakneckChao: Henry
coughed again, spitting up yet another spurt of blood onto his
hand.
Viewtiful
Rekk: "Heh...are you done,
or shall we just stand here in pain a bit longer?"
BreakneckChao: "Go ahead..."
Viewtiful Rekk: "Draw!"
Viewtiful Rekk: "I summon Tricky
Magician LV4 in attack mode!"
BreakneckChao: "Gngh... Another level monster I've
never heard of..."
Viewtiful Rekk: A young magician,
holding a small blue knife in its hands appears, and shoots a dirty look at
Henry. (1000/1000)
Viewtiful Rekk: "Then, I activate the
spell card Level Up!"
BreakneckChao: Henry's eyes widen. "Oh
crap..."
Viewtiful
Rekk: "I sacrifice Tricky
Magician...to summon Tricky Magician LV8!"
Viewtiful
Rekk: The young magician appears, and is replaced with
an older magician shrouded entirely in a black cloak, two blue knives in his
hands. (3500/1000)
Viewtiful Rekk: "Now then, I don't
need that blasted angel getting stronger...!"
Viewtiful
Rekk: "Tricky Magician, attack
it!"
Viewtiful Rekk: Tricky Magician spins
his knives on his fingers, and dissapears, reappearing back over the Photon
Angel, ready to strike.
BreakneckChao: "Ha! You're forgetting the effect
of my Soul of Purity and Light!"
Viewtiful Rekk: "Heh...decreasing my
monster's attack points, right?"
BreakneckChao: "Right!"
Viewtiful Rekk: Tricky Magician stays put in midair for a second...before it runs
its blades through Photon Angel three times, wiping it
out.
Viewtiful Rekk: "As long as Tricky
Magician LV8 is the only monster on my field, I can choose which of your
mosnter, trap, and magic effects can affect it!"
BreakneckChao: Henry felt three blades go through
his body, before he felt the familiar feeling of a monster being
destroyed.
BreakneckChao: The boy
gasped for air, falling onto the ground.
BreakneckChao: "Ah...
Aaaaah...."
BreakneckChao: "...H...How?!"
BreakneckChao: Henry
looked at his body...
BreakneckChao: Three
stab wounds.
BreakneckChao: Three
real stab wounds.
Viewtiful Rekk: A grin. "My Shadow
Games are quite lifelike, aren't they?!"
BreakneckChao: Henry could barely talk at this
point.
BreakneckChao: He
simply lay on the ground, propped up by one elbow, gasping for
air.
BreakneckChao: The
blood was dripping from his mouth at this point.
BreakneckChao: "....Oooh..."
BreakneckChao: Henry
placed a hand on his knee, attempting to push himself to his
feet.
BreakneckChao: "...Are... you... done?"
Viewtiful
Rekk: A smirk. "Yes. Take
your turn so my magician can continue to kill you."
BreakneckChao: Henry drew.
BreakneckChao: Finally, Henry was able to barely push himself onto two
feet.
BreakneckChao: "...Stray...Lambs..."
Viewtiful Rekk: "Heh...futile..."
BreakneckChao: The words were becoming more and
more difficult fro Henry to mutter out.
Viewtiful
Rekk: "No matter how many
monsters you summon...my magician will mow each one down
effortlessly..."
BreakneckChao: "...Go."
Viewtiful Rekk: Victor doesn't look so hot either, but he at least is more
strongly on his own two feet.
Viewtiful
Rekk: "Draw."
Viewtiful
Rekk: "Magician! Strike the Soul of Purity and
Light!"
BreakneckChao: "!"
BreakneckChao: With
the pain he had been in, Henry had forgotten to switch his monster into defense
mode.
Viewtiful
Rekk: The magician
disappears again, and appears behind the Soul of Purity and Light, and runs her
through three times with his blades.
BreakneckChao: He could only cringe at the sight
of his Soul being destroyed, and three new stab wounds appearing on his
body.
BreakneckChao: Henry had no choice but to drop to
the floor once again.
BreakneckChao: At best, he could only prop his
upper body up with his elbows.
Viewtiful Rekk: "It's your turn,
Henry."
Viewtiful Rekk: "Your last
turn."
BreakneckChao: Henry barely managed to draw a
card.
BreakneckChao: A weak
smile crawled onto the boy's face.
BreakneckChao: "...You're... right."
BreakneckChao: The two lambs on the field began to
fade away, and were replaced by Henry's old faithful:
BreakneckChao: The
Revolver Dragon
Viewtiful Rekk: "Revolver Dragon in
an all-light deck?"
Viewtiful Rekk: "How....hypocritical."
Viewtiful
Rekk: "....!
Unless....no!"
BreakneckChao: Henry pulled three coins from his
jacket pocket.
OnlineHost: BreakneckChao rolled 3
2-sided dice: 1 2 1
BreakneckChao: The Revolver Dragon reared back,
and fired at the magician on the field, obliterating it.
Viewtiful
Rekk: The Magician appears to be hit head-on by the
massive shell...but in truth, blocks it with one of his
knives.
Viewtiful Rekk: He then rams the
other into it, shattering the projectile into a thousand
pieces.
Viewtiful Rekk: "Did you
forget....when Tricky Magician LV8 is my only monster, I choose which of your
effects can touch him!"
BreakneckChao: Henry's eyes
widen....
BreakneckChao: He
pulls out a second card.
BreakneckChao: The
breathed heavily and slowly.
BreakneckChao: "Breath..."
BreakneckChao: "Of..."
BreakneckChao: "Life..."
Viewtiful
Rekk: "...." Victor takes a step
back.
Viewtiful Rekk: "...No..."
BreakneckChao: A barely visible stream of air
entered into the dragon's nostrils.
BreakneckChao: Slowly
but surely, pieces of metal began to drop from the dragon, one by one hitting
the floor.
BreakneckChao: Finally, six brilliant angelic wings burst from the back of the
dragon, fluctuating beautiful colors.
BreakneckChao: "...Seraphim."
Viewtiful Rekk: Victor watches the
process, looking completely unnerved for the first time in the entire
duel.
BreakneckChao: Henry smiles
widely.
BreakneckChao: (3300/2400)
BreakneckChao: The boy
grabs one of the coins off the ground, and tosses it into the
air.
Viewtiful
Rekk: Victor grits his teeth...and walks over to Henry,
before grabbing him by the collar and hoisting him up until he's at an equal
level.
Viewtiful Rekk: "How...how!?"
Viewtiful Rekk: "How did you gain
those cards, Henry Kaito?! TELL ME!"
Viewtiful
Rekk: "Was it from that bastard Ichirou Komatsu?!
Huh!?" His calm in-control demeanor is completely gone
now.
BreakneckChao: Henry smirked. "One.. of...
them."
Viewtiful
Rekk: Victor's eye twitches
momentarily, and he flings Henry to the ground.
Viewtiful
Rekk: "You...you worthless...." He looks about ready to
strike out at Henry right then....but stops.
BreakneckChao: Henry gasps as he hits the ground,
rolling backwards.
Viewtiful Rekk: "...I'm going to kill
you when that coin lands on tails. And it will be painful." He says in an eerily
calm voice as he looks at the coin, waiting for it to
drop.
BreakneckChao: Henry looked at the
man.
BreakneckChao: "Already... has"
BreakneckChao: Henry
laughed weakly, pointing behind Victor.
Viewtiful
Rekk: ".....?" Victor
raised an eyebrow. "What are you talking about...." He turns and
looks.....
OnlineHost: BreakneckChao rolled 1
2-sided die: 1
Viewtiful Rekk: "...!" He stares at
the coin, his mouth agape.
Viewtiful Rekk: "No....no...!"
BreakneckChao: Seraphim spread it's wings. A
powerful aura emanated from the beats.
BreakneckChao: *beast.
BreakneckChao: (4300/2400)
BreakneckChao: "Now...
attack!"
Viewtiful
Rekk: No...! Victor
looks back at his magician. If Tricky Magician LV8 is destroyed, I take
damage equal to its attack points!
BreakneckChao: The dragon lifted off the ground, a
ball of light converging in its mouth.
BreakneckChao: The
dragon fired the ball across the field, and upon contact with te magician, the
ball erupted into a massive explosion.
Viewtiful
Rekk: The magician attempts
to block, but is engulfed by the blast from the dragon's attack, and vaporized
into nothing.
Viewtiful Rekk: "Gg....AAAARGH!"
Victor screams out as his monster is destroyed and his points drop.
(1800)
Viewtiful Rekk: His body then begins
smoking as he looks back at Henry. "Hh...heh heh heh...Henry
Kaito..."
Viewtiful Rekk: "This is the first
true duel I've lost in a while....you should savor your
victory..."
Viewtiful Rekk: "But..." He grins, in
spite of the immense pain going through his body. "...Look at yourself. My
Shadow Game has done far too much damage to you..."
BreakneckChao: Henry simply continued to smile
weakly.
Viewtiful
Rekk: "Even if I lost...."
He begins fading away, along with the shadows. "....This was still your last
duel..."
BreakneckChao: "Heh...heh...heh..."
BreakneckChao: Henry
began to laugh weakly.
BreakneckChao: Tears began to stream down the
boy's face, but the smile remained.
BreakneckChao: "...Happy..."
BreakneckChao: "...Birthday..."
BreakneckChao: "...Henry..."
Viewtiful Rekk: And with
that....Victor is gone, as are all traces of his Shadow Game. And Henry is back
on the Osiris Red roof.
BreakneckChao: Slowly, everything faded to black,
and the boy drifted out of consciousness.
Viewtiful Rekk: And behind Henry, the Silent Magician appears, clutching one of
her arms and wincing, but looking far better for the wear than the two duelists
a moment ago were.
Viewtiful Rekk: She coughs briefly.
"H-Henry-kun...I'm sorry I was destroyed like that...I..." She gets a good look
at the duelist, and her eyes widen signifigantly. "....Henry...kun...?" She
asks, and floats closer to him.
Viewtiful Rekk: "...Henry-kun! Wake up!" She attempts to touch
him, but her hand just goes through. She looks for some kind of
response.
Viewtiful Rekk: "Henry-kun......!
Henry-kun!" She continues to cry out, into the night.
Viewtiful Rekk: (And...that's all for
me.
Viewtiful Rekk: Realizing that Henry wasn't conscious, the Silent
Magician gulped down a small breath and slowly inched closer towards her
duelist, and held a rapidly shaking hand out in front of his mouth,
(more)
Viewtiful Rekk: as a test to see if
he was still drawing breath, since she couldn't...y'know, touch
him.
BreakneckChao: Slow,
heavy breathes were indeed beiing issued by the boys. It was obvious that there
was great difficulty in the breaths being taken.
Viewtiful Rekk: As she felt the duelist's breathes on her hand, tears began coming
to the magician's eyes. He was alive. At least now she knew that much.
"Henry-kun..." she muttered out, and shook her head briefly
(more)
Viewtiful Rekk: Help....I have to
go find help...! She told herself, and with that, she dived through the roof
of the Red dorm, no clue whose room she was going in too.
Polk
Kitsune: Meso, after
being pelted, chased, and a blasted marathon around the island, was now resting
on his bed, upside down, in a mess of bedsheets, snoring lightly. He was
busted...
Viewtiful Rekk: Until a young
magician shot in, screaming to high heaven. "Hey! Henry-kun! H-Henry-kun's in
trouble!" She shouted out, floating as close to his face as possible. She'd
probably be shaking him too if she could.
Polk
Kitsune: "GYYAAAH!" Cue the multiple crashing
sounds as the boy suddenly found himself head over heels on the floor, wincing.
"Owowowowow~"
Polk Kitsune: With a
flop, he sat back up. "Gh... What was that about?" He eyed the little magician,
blinking as he rubbed his sore head.
Viewtiful Rekk: She looked into Meso's eyes, tears still welling
up in hers. "H-Henry-kun! H-he's in trouble!" She managed to get out, before
pointing up at the ceiling. "Up there!"
Polk
Kitsune: "Up... There?" He looked up, his eyes
half open, tryign to shake the morning fog out of his head.
"Whaaaa?"
Polk Kitsune: Shaking his
head, he stumbled over to his clothes, and started to dress up. "What the hell
happened? What is he doing up there?"
Viewtiful Rekk: "H-he was in a Shadow Game...and he was injured
badly...!" Actually, she had gotten hurt kinda badly in that duel too, but that
wasn't the point right now.
Polk Kitsune: "Him? In a
shadow game?" He pulled his jacket on. "Is he insane?"
Viewtiful Rekk: "I-I don't know! Just...please, help
him!"
Polk
Kitsune: "Alright, alright! Show me where!" He
gave a sigh, and jumped out the window, catching onto the top frame, and flipped
up over onto the roof. "Come on!"
Viewtiful Rekk: Floating up after him, she pointed at where the
unconscious duelist was. "There! He's right there!"
Polk
Kitsune: Leaning over Henry, he checked the body
for the usual marks. Cuts, bruises, missing limbs, missing soul. "... He won, I
do hope?"
Viewtiful Rekk: "I...I think so...the
other person isn't here..."
Polk Kitsune: "Good,
good... Then he should be alright. I think." He looked to the magician. "We
better get him to the nurse at least."
Viewtiful Rekk: The magician did nothing but nod, grateful beyond
everything that he was okay. "O-okay...."
Polk Kitsune: He grabbed the boy, and lifted him up
on his shoulders. "Probably needs to sleep it all off... Hopefully, that's all
there is to it."

Polk
Kitsune: "Damn... Handle... Couldn't hurt for
some to lose a little wei-HA!" And with that, the nurse's office door openned,
with Meso bursting in with an unconscious Henry on his
back.
Polk
Kitsune: "Gh... I'm gonna be sore tomorrow,
that's for sure."
kwikkidus: A small, rather soft tube of ointment
is immediately flung in Meso's direction. "The Kaito brat. What is he doing
here, and why is he unconscious?"
Viewtiful
Rekk: The Silent Magician suddenly interjected,
shooting in front of Meso. "H-Henry-kun was in a Shadow Game...! Please, help
him!"
Polk
Kitsune: PAF! Right on the nose. "Urgh...
Thanks." His eyes twitched as the tube fell to the floor, leaving a red trace on
his face.
Polk Kitsune: "Shadow
game, it seems. Found him this way."
kwikkidus: "...Very well, put him on a bed. Do
you know how powerful the shadow mage was?" She seems... more serious than
usual.
Polk
Kitsune: He raised an eyebrow. The Hellnurse?
Concerned? Nah... Must be just late. He shook his head. "No ideas, I wasn't
present." He looked to the magician. "Who was it?"
Viewtiful Rekk: "I-I dunno..." She mumbled. "Henry-kun just
summoned me while we were dueling...then I was destroyed later
on..."
Viewtiful Rekk: "H-he seemed really
nervous about it though..."
kwikkidus: "...I did not ask you who it was. I
asked you how powerful they were. What was the shadow game's circumstance?The
penalties? The final penalty game? You should note these
things."
Polk
Kitsune: He gave a sigh, and placed Henry on a
bed. "Well, it seemed to get even Henry's dense head nervous about
it."
Polk
Kitsune: "So it must've been very
serious."
kwikkidus: "It is not easy to treat an illness if
you know nothing about it. You realize this, correct?"
Polk Kitsune: "Yeah, but
under these circumstances, I doubt any clues were left behind. I didn't find any
scars or anything."
Polk Kitsune: "Unless
it's purely mental, I don't know."
Polk
Kitsune: He looks at the magician once more.
"She woke me up when it was all over.
Polk
Kitsune: "
kwikkidus: "Mental torture, perhaps. Possibly
related to the destruction of monsters..." A hum. "It tends to be, does it
not?"
Viewtiful
Rekk: "I...." She racked her mind, for any hint of
something she could tell.
Viewtiful Rekk: "Whenever something
was destroyed...it looked like it hurt them both a
lot..."
kwikkidus: She hums, nodding as she raised
Henry's feet over his head. "Monsters linked to pain for themselves. I see... a
classic shadow game."
Polk Kitsune: He gave a nod. "Hai... Mind games can
be the most dangerous ones though."
Polk
Kitsune: "A classic duel-style shadow game
anyhow."
kwikkidus: "Why are you waisting your breath to
tell me this? I am fully aware of the effects of mind games." She shakes her
head, taking Henry's blood pressure.
Polk
Kitsune: He examined her every motions
carefully. "Just making sure. Always better be careful."
Polk
Kitsune: "I didn't bring him to you if I didn't
know you had the skills though."
kwikkidus: "Hmm... and what would you know of my
skills regarding ancient magics better left forgotten?" She spoke rather
offhandedly, instead focused largely on the blood pressure cuff.
Polk Kitsune: He crossed
his arms, pondering, watching. "Only that I know you're far from a regular
nurse, that you have some rather... perticular knowledge about the facts of
magic."
Polk Kitsune: "And what's
supposed to be forgotten, you're unearthing."
kwikkidus: "I already had this knowledge.
Presumably,so did you, Meso. Therefore, nothing has been unearthed." She
sighs,shaking her head. "I have good news. He still has a soul."
Polk Kitsune: He gave a
relaxed sigh. "Really good news." He raised an eyebrow. "And I do... Your goals
though, you never presented though. But I knew if someone could treat
this..."
Viewtiful Rekk: "W-will he be
okay....?" He mumbled, looking down at Henry as the nurse examined
him.
kwikkidus: "...Hmph. Be glad this case was
interesting. I want to know who exactly caused this game. And if I simply allow
Kaito to die... he will not tell me, now, will he?"
Polk Kitsune: "...
Yeah..." He leaned against the wall, yawning. "I'm still sticking around till he
wakes up though. No offense."
kwikkidus: "Understandable." She continues her
work,humming as she places a finger to her chin. "I wonder. How dense do you say
Kaito's head is?"
Polk Kitsune: "... The rumors say denser than a
mountain, but even that's putting it easy." He shook his
head.
kwikkidus: "Just checking." She smacks Henry
upside the head. HARD.
Viewtiful Rekk: "!!" The young magician actually shoots between
the nurse and Henry. "D-don't hurt him!"
kwikkidus: Zaniah conveniently forgets to notice
the magician. Hurrah for incorporeality!
Polk
Kitsune: "In this case... maybe a sledgehammer
wouldn't do much." He shook his head. "Don you have better medicine to deal with
this?"
kwikkidus: "Not to wake them up from being
unconscious..." She hums, turning around and grabbing a rubber reflex-testing
mallet. "Let us see if this works any better."
BreakneckChao: "...Gngh..."
Polk Kitsune: "..." Sweatdrop. "Can't you just wait
for him to wake up or something?"
BreakneckChao: Henry's eyelids began to move
slightly
kwikkidus: She sighs,
shaking her head. "He is awake. It worked."
BreakneckChao: Henry opened his eyes.
"Wuh?"
kwikkidus: "The
shadow game. Who started it."
Viewtiful Rekk: "!! Henry-kun!" The magician exclaimed and spun
around.
BreakneckChao: Henry shook his head, rubbing
it.
BreakneckChao: "...Some guy named Victor..."
kwikkidus: "Did you
get a last name, or was it simply 'Victor?'"
BreakneckChao: "...I think his last name was
...Rasputin? Yeah, I think that was it."
Polk Kitsune: Meso gave a
sigh of relief.
BreakneckChao: 'That's all I
know..."
kwikkidus: "...Then
describe the shadow game. What happened when monsters were destroyed. When you
lost?" She's interrogating him, and being quite obvious about
it.
Polk
Kitsune: "...
Zaniah, take it easy! He's just waking up!"
BreakneckChao: Henry rubbed his head. "Ugh... I
feel like I've been hit by a train.."
kwikkidus: "...You
metaphorically have."
Polk Kitsune: "Zaniah's hand. Close
enough."
BreakneckChao: Henry turned to the two who brought
him here.
BreakneckChao: "Hey
Silent. Hi Meso." Henry smiled a bit.
BreakneckChao: "How...
did I get here?"
Polk
Kitsune: Meso waved
his hand. "Welcome back to reality."
Viewtiful Rekk: "Henry-kun...." Tears began welling up in the
young magician's eyes once more.
Polk
Kitsune: He pointed to the magician. "She found
me, I found you unconscious... I think you can figure the rest
out."
kwikkidus: "...Be wary of him." she says coolly,
before wandering off into an adjacent room. She stops by the door. "Oh... And I
have a report to file. Henry, I may or may not decide to persue punishment. Be
glad I am in a good mood."
BreakneckChao: Henry nodded. "Yes
ma'am."
BreakneckChao: Henry
saw the distress in the little magician's eyes.
kwikkidus: "One more
thing... which of you instigated the duel?"
Polk Kitsune: Meso
gulped, as the nurse went off, and approached Henry. "Feeling better, I
hope?"
BreakneckChao: "...He did. Totally. He
literally yanked me out of my room and onto the roof with Alastor's
gauntlet."
kwikkidus: "...So he
has the gauntlet now, as well..." She nods to him, then disappears into her
office.
Polk
Kitsune: "..." Blink blink. "...
ooookaaayyy."
BreakneckChao: "Silent... I'm sorry about all
that. "
Polk
Kitsune: "You're
going to have to give a long-winded and fully described story about it all to
the others soon, you know that, right?"
BreakneckChao: "And... thank you both a ton..."
Henry nodded to Meso.
BreakneckChao: "Yeah... I know."
BreakneckChao: Henry
raised up his shirt, looking at where the stab wounds had
been...
BreakneckChao: "They're all gone..."
Polk Kitsune: "Yeah...
Some shadow games are like that." He gave a sigh. "At least he didn't fuck with
your mind."
BreakneckChao: He returned his shirt to where it
was originally.
Viewtiful Rekk: Suddenly, the
magician gripped on to Henry's neck as tightly as possible (or at least tried,
being, y'know, not solid) "Henry-kun....I-I was so worried...." She said and
sniffled.
BreakneckChao: "...I'm so sorry, Silent. Look...
I'm okay." Henry smiled.
BreakneckChao: "...Are
you hurt at all?"
Viewtiful Rekk: "A..a...a little..."
She muttered. "B-but...I...I think I'll be okay..."
BreakneckChao: Henry smiled big. "I'm glad..."
henry laid back on the pillow.
BreakneckChao: "...Dang... I'm so tired..."
BreakneckChao: "It's
like it sucked the energy right out of me..."
Polk
Kitsune: The boy
gave a sigh. "Should I leave you two alone?" He yawned. "Ichirou gave me one
hell of a mean run..."
BreakneckChao: "You're welcome to leave, buddy.
I'm sorry you had to do this for me, and I thank you dearly for
it."
Polk
Kitsune: He smiled,
and gave a nod. "Hey, you'd have done the same for me, I'm sure of it. It's my
pleasure."
Polk Kitsune: "Next time
though, invite me to the party. Maybe I can be of better
help."
BreakneckChao: Henry laughed. "I had no clue any
of this was gonna happen. Total ambush, man."
Polk
Kitsune: "Hehehe. I
know, I know." Shaking his head, he turned back, waving a hand. "You take care,
buddy. Get well soon."
BreakneckChao: "Thanks Meso." Henry nodded, and
laid back.
Viewtiful
Rekk: "Th-thank you..." The
magician said after Meso, still pseudo-clinging to Henry.
BreakneckChao: "And thank you,
Silent."
Polk
Kitsune: He gave a
nod, and took a deep breath. That felt... good... really good. Shaking
his head, he headed back, yawning. "I hope training doesn't start too
soon..."
