(This takes place after the final duel with Ai) 

A user named Playmaker has disappeared completely from the face of the earth after the final duel with Ai. No one knows where he is. Not even his closest friend knows. 

Akira frowned at the computer screen "Another one?" he examined the image both in the digital world and the physical world which shows a bunch of blank cards as if someone just erased "You got to be kidding me...where Playmaker when you need him?" Akira muttered in annoyance 

Normally this would be Playmaker job to investigate but...with him gone. All of the weight has shifted into Akira shoulder alongside how he is currently wielding a hot potato within his hand 

Emma is attempting to help Akira but her investigation led her to a dead end as she originally thought that someone has just hacked into the cards and erased them. That was quickly dismissed once it was discovered that it also happens in the physical world. 

He sighed as more reports started to flood his screen. About how users in the real world became unconscious "...I guess I have to work overtime," Akira frowned in frustration 

-------------

Royoken Kogami examined the tablet about reports of the 'blank' cards and users being unconscious "Just like the others," said Royoken before handing it back to Clarissa 

Clarissa nods "And exactly like the others. No trace left behind," Clarissa replied while keeping the tablet to her side 

He frowned "I wonder how the company is handling this," Royoken chuckled for a moment then he just waves her off in which she bowed before leaving his office 

Royoken offered his assistance but it was mainly for their past crimes not out of kindness for the company. He picked up his cup and took a sip before setting it down and continuing his work in which is thankful that his dragons are still safe 

----------------

Aoi Zaizen is stuck at home studying. She was original planned to go into the Vrains but that was quickly shot down by her brother for her own safety. Mainly due to the "Blank Incident" where a group of duelists were discovered to be unconscious with their entire deck being transformed into white blank cards. 

She wrote a bunch of words onto her note but that when she decided to stare at her Vr set. Aoi then stood up from her chair and examined her two decks in which she sighed in relief before going back to her notes 

----------------

Emma finished hacking into the school system and marking Yusaku Fujiki as present to prevent him from being expelled before grabbing her Vr set "...well, it's time." she muttered as placed the Vr set onto her head. 

She took a deep breath and raised her hand "Into the Vrains!" she shouted as groups of data appeared around her in which her eyes became dark until a new form of light appeared at the end of the tunnel 

Emma later appeared within the network on top of a building with her normal outfit as Ghost Girl. She then brought up a screen to examine her surroundings "Tah..." the screen came out empty "Nothing, oh well, bet..." she cut herself off when Emma noticed a small bright red light at the corner of the screen "Hmm?" Emma expand the screen towards the small bright light "Oh...possible clue," she smiled at the sight of finally finding something 

She quickly ran across the root before leaping towards the network wave in which she made her hoover bored appear right in front of her. Emma landed onto the wave of the network with her hoover bored below her feet

Earlier

Brave Max is busy searching for an opponent as he wanders through the alleyways of the network "There barely anyone here...man, I just brought this new deck," he took a look at his deck until he noticed a young-looking girl with a black cap, silver hair, red eyes, pale skin, a light grey top with white shorts, black shoes, long red socks. Has two white straps and is currently holding a deck 

The young-looking girl turned to face him "Hmm?" 

He smiled at the sight before walking up to 'her' while waving "Hello, are you new here?" Max asked while examining 'her' outfit which is strange for an avatar 

The young 'girl' looked up at Max before smiling "Yea, although I know how to play I...still having a bit of trouble so is alright if we can duel?" 

Max started to blush "um....s...sure let get started," he placed his deck within his duel disk alongside the young 'girl' where their user name and life point appeared 

"Master Rule Draw!" shouted both of them 

Silver Star vs Brave Max (4000/4000) 

Silver Star drew her five cards in which she frowned at the sight of her hand "umm...can you go first?" 'she' nervously asked 

He also drew five cards and smiled at the sight of his hand "Sure, I start by normal summoning Legendary Six Samurai, Kageki," said Max as samurai wielding four swords appeared (200 Attack/2000 Defence.) "And I use his effect to special summon Legendary Six Samurai, Mizuko from my hand" Kageki slashed open a yellow void allowing a woman wearing red like armour to appeared beside Kageki (1600 Attack/1000 Defence "Now thanks to having Mizuko on the field." he reveals another Samurai from his hand "I can summon out her partner. Come out Legendary Six Samurai, Shinai," Mizuko whisted into the air in which Shinai appeared beside her (1500 Attack/1500 defence.)

Silver Star smiled at the sight "Wow...three monsters in one turn," although her smile doesn't match her eyes however Brave Max didn't notice it 

Max smiled in return "Thank you, I set one card face down and I end my turn," said Max as he stared at spell card Six Samurai united 'I could have drawn two more cards if I placed this down first and gotten into a link monster but...she just a beginner,' 

'She' drew a card for her turn and stared at her hand once more "Hmm...I start by Normal summoning Star-Vader, Colony Maker," A cyber looking like lady appeared onto the field (Level 4, 500 Attack/2000 Defence.) "Her effect, forces her into defence mode when normal summoned but if so, I can discard one card from my hand to special summon one level four or lower other "Star-Vader" from my deck but for the rest of the turn. I am forced into summoning 'Star-Vaders',"

His eyes grew wide "Star-Vaders? I never heard about...this?" he muttered 

"I special summon Star-Vader, Strange Dragon from my deck," Colony Maker smiled as she opened a red portal with her staff in which a Dragon appeared wielding a strange spear from the portal (Level 4, 2000 Attack/1000 Defence) 

Max frowned at the sight 'Two-Level fours...is she planning to Xyz summoning?' 

'She' smiled at Max as she reveals another Star-Vader "I activate Unrivaled Star-Vader, Radon from my hand. If I control a Star-Vader monster with 2000 attack or defence. I can special summon him from my hand. Come on out Radon!" 'she' lightly taps her card in which cyber looking person wielding a rifle appeared besides Colony Maker (Level 4, 2000 Attack/500 Defence) "His skill activates, if he was special summon. I can add a card to my hand." Silver Star examined the cards within the deck before revealing it in a quick matter before concealing it. giving Max no time to respond 

He stared at the three monsters "Huh...you got three monsters as well...with two of them being 2000 attack...impressive," 

Silver star ignored him as 'she' revealed the second last card within 'her' hand which is a level 6 monster "By tributing a Star-Vader monster with 2000 attack or defence. I can special summon him onto the field." 'She' places Colony maker into the graveyard "Come onto the field, Ionization Star-Vader, Hafnium (Level 6, 2500 Attack/2000 defence). Another cyber looking person appeared besides Radon 

Max example his face down 'No biggy...I could just use Negate attack once she decides to attack one of my monsters,' 

"I use Hafnium effect, Once Per turn, I can send one spell/trap on the field to the banish zone," said Silver Star which made Max's eyes go wide as Nafnium fired his blaster onto his face down causing his negate attack to discard into dust

"Shoot..." Max frowned 

Switching point of view 

Silver Star frowned 'Tah...what a waste of my time...I better hurry this up,' "Now to the battle phase, Radon will attack your Shinai. His effect activates...he gains 300 attack points for each other Star-Vader monster on the field during the damage step (2000+600=2600)," Radon aimed his rife at Shinai and fired a beam right into Shinai chest causing an explosion 

"Gah!" (4000-1100=2900 life points.) 

'She' smiled at the sight "Next is Hafnium. Take out his Mizuko," Hafnium nods before aiming his blaster and firing right into Mizuko causing it vanishing into dust 

Max groan in pain (2900-900=2000) "Shoot...thankfully, even if you attack my only monster with your...strange...it would only leave me left with 200 life points left." 

Silver Star laughed at Max "oh...you poor little soul, Hafnium effect activates! If he succeeded in destroys a monster by battle. He can perform another attack. Now finish this Hafnium!" shouted Silver Star as Hanfnium quickly reload his blaster before firing against his only monster 

"What ah!" screamed Max as his life points dropped down to zero 

"...Sorry, I guess, I should have told you that...it was a lie from the very beginning," 'She' smirked as his eyes became blank alongside his cards 

Silver star sighed "What an idiot..." 'She' smiled but quickly turned into a frown"... it looks I am about to have some company," 'she' quickly dashes behind a wall 

-----------

Ghost girl ran towards the signal when it suddenly just...disappeared. She looked up from her screen when there she noticed someone unconscious on the floor "Dam it...I was too late," 

She examined Brave Max cards which are just...blank. "Just like the victims themselves." 

-----------

Silver Star smirked behind the corner as she opened a screen "This disguise better work Darkface," 'she' muttered as Silver star transformed her hair into a red like colour, a mask made out of silver with red outlines, 'her' shirt changed into bright red with dark red outlines, black leggings and dark red boots "Huh...not bad, I kinda like this new look,"

Ghost girl was busy examining her screen to noticed that Silver Star is watching her 

She stared at Ghost girl "Hmm...it appears that she might be worthy," Silver star muttered as 'she' slowly reveals herself 

Ghost girl started to hack into Brave Max duelling disk "Please, don't lead to another dead end," she muttered until she noticed a shadow behind her "What the?" she quickly spun herself around 

Silver Star smiled behind 'her' mask "Are you worthy?" Silver star asked 

She quickly dashed back "Who are you?" Ghost Girl asked back 

"Hmm...just call me...Chaos if that fine with you," 'she' started to chuckle 

"So...was it you that caused this?" She asked while pointing at Brave Max 

'She' just shrugs "So what? He wasn't worthy..." Silver Star raised 'her' arm at Ghost Girl "In fact, I can't afford any witness," Silver star said in a cold like manner 

Ghost girl screen disappeared alongside her hoverboard. She attempted to reconnect but it doesn't work "What the? What did you do?"

"Oh nothing special, I just locked your system and your ability to escape or logout," Said Silver Star 

She bit her lip as Ghost Girl started to attempt a reboot "So that means...I must duel you to escape?"

"Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner...yes, if you managed to defeat me...I return their souls," Silver Star replied before revealing 'her' duel disk 

Ghost Girl did the same as they both drew their five cards "Master Rule Draw!" shouted both of them 

Ghost Girl 400 life points /Chaos life points

Silver star example 'her' hand and smiled under 'her' mask "I let you go first," 

Ghost Girl smiled "Gladly, I simple normal summoning Altergeist Marionetter," A portal opened up for Marionetter as she appeared onto the field  (1600 Attack/1700 Defence)"I use her effect to set this card from my deck," a card popped out of her deck as it was revealed to Silver Star which was Altergeist Protocol before setting onto the field then I set two more cards face down and I end my turn," 

She frowned at the sight 'Altergeist. A deck known for its ability to negate and intercept their opponent plays with their powerful traps but thankfully, I have a way to counter this within my hand but for now...'

"My turn, Draw! I activate a spell card from my hand. Star Vader Conflict." The Card shows a lonely Radon facing off against a Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Red-Eyes Black Dragon and The Dark Magician. "If I control no monster that I originally control and if this card successful resolves. I can send one Star-Vader monster from my hand and one other Star-Vader that level four or lower from my deck to the graveyard. To draw two cards. So are you going to let it pass?" Silver Star asked Ghost girl

Ghost Girl stared at her face down 'Star-Vaders? I don't know anything about Star-Vaders...I could negate this effect by using one of my newer cards but...I better save it until it's needed,' "Sure, I let that pass," 

'She' nods back as Silver Star places Chaos Beat Dragon (Level 3) from his hand to the graveyard then a card popped out of 'her' deck which reveals itself to be Planck Dracokid (Level 1) before placing into the graveyard. 'Her' deck get shuffled then 'she' drew two new cards 

'She' smirks as Silver star reveals the next card from 'her' hand "Next, I activate Star-Vader, Chaos Storm!" The card shows Chaos Breaker swings his deadly scythe creating a massive red storm "I can reveal up to six Star-Vader monsters from my hand to destroy the same amount of spell/trap on your side of the field," Silver Star reveals three Star Vader monster from 'her' hand (Star-Vader, Chaos Breaker Dragon (Level 8 2800 Attack/2600 Defence.), Radon, and Disorder Star-Vader, Iron (Level 4 2000 Attack/1000 Defence.)) 

'Shoot...I have to use it now!' "I won't let I..." Ghost girl got cut off when Silver star raised 'her' hand 

"It's no use...since I revealed a Star-Vader Monster with 'Chaos' within its name for the cost. Star-Vader Chaos Storm can not respond nor negate by my opponent also...I can banish them instead of destroying so...say bye, bye to your traps," 

Her eyes when wide "What!" A red phantom image of Chaos Breaker soon appeared right in front of her before sliced right into her spell/trap zone completely tearing them apart 

Silver star examined the banished spell/traps of Ghost Girl "Oh...your other set cards were Solemn Judgement and Personal Spoofing. Good thing that I managed to take them out with Storm," 

Ghost Girl frowned 'Well, there goes my first line of defence,' 

"Anyways, where was I? Oh yea...doing my final turn," Silver Star Reveal Disorder  Star-Vader, Iron from 'her' hand "Iron effect, if I control no monsters that I original control. I can special summon him onto the field," 

Iron appeared from a red portal and stood in front of Silver Star (Level 4, 2000 Attack/1000 Defence) "Next, I use the other effect of Iron. If, he is the only card on the field. I can discard one card from my hand with Star-Vader within its name in exchange for drawing two more cards from my deck," Silver Star discards Star-Vader, Metonaxe from 'her' hand before drawing two new cards 

Ghost girl stared at her hand 'I couldn't do anything to stop him...all, I can depend now is my hand,' 

"Metonaxe effect, if he discarded due to an effect. I can shuffle him into the deck to special summon one level four or lower monster from my graveyard. Come and join the fun Planck Dracokid 

Planck Dracokid dragged itself out of the graveyard and came onto the field (Level 1, 500 Attack/500 Defence) while Metonaxe shuffles itself into the deck 

"Radon effect. If I control a Star-Vader monster with 2000 attack or defence. I can special summon him from my hand," Radon landed onto the field besides Dracokid and Iron (Level 4, 2000 Attack/500 Defence) "His other effect activates when special summoned which would allow me to add...something special," A card popped out in which Silver Star showed it only for a quick second before hiding it 

'Wait...what did you add?' Ghost Girl thought before looking back at her arm 'Come on...reboot already!' 

Silver Star look at 'her' hand then at Ghost girl field which only has  Altergeist Marionetter in attack mode 'Normally, I wouldn't bother using my extra deck but...I need to make sure that I win on this turn,' 

"Now, I shall now open the path for my victory, it's time to build the circuit! The summoning requirement is one level 2 or lower Star-Vader," Plankdracokid when into the bottom link arrow "Link Summon! Star-Vader Chaos Squire!" A young male cyber like Angel who is wielding a black dagger with red outlines appeared right the extra monster zone (Link 1, 500 Attack/ Pointing straight Down.) "I activate Dracokid effect if he was used as material for a Link Summon. I can look at the top seven of my deck to search for a special unit," Seven cards appeared right in front of 'her. Silver Star examined them for a moment then tapped onto one of the cards which later appeared in 'her' hand why the rest were placed into the bottom of the deck but once again. Silver Star only revealed it for a couple of seconds before hiding it 

"What are you hiding?" Ghost Girl asked while pointing at the card that Silver Star added 

"Oh...this? It doesn't matter. Because right now, I am about to finish you off. Battle phase, Radon attack!" Radon prepares to fire his rifle at Marionetter 

"I won't let you, I activate Kunquery from my hand which will..." She got intercept by Silver Star as Chaos Squire tossed his dagger at the Kunquery within her hand causing to disappear into red dust "What??" 

"Sorry...but I can't let you do that. I activate, Squire effect, during either player's turn if my opponent activates an effect from his/her hand. I can banish himself to negate the activation and if so, banish it. Also, you can't activate the same card that was banished by this effect until the end of my next turn," Silver Star smiled under 'her' mask while Chaos Squire just warped away 

Ghost Girl eyes when wide "Your...kidding me," 

"I am not done yet...at the start of the damage step, I activate Strange effect from my hand, If a Star-Vader monster that I control is battling an opponent face-up monster. I can special summon him onto the field and not only that. My opponent monster loses 1000 attack," A spear came out of nowhere and struck Marionetter severely weakening her attack "Also, Radon gains 300 attack points for each other Star-Vader on the field," said Silver Star as Radon unleashes his rife right into Marionetter causing her to vanish into red dust and soon Strange landed onto the battlefield to pick his spear (Strange: Level 4, 2000 Attack/1000 Defence)

Ghost Girl Life Points 4000-2000=2000 

Ghost Girl frowned at the sight of her monster being destroyed "In that case, I active my...." 

Silver Star shrugs "Don't even bother trying, My skill Lost Hope prevent either of us from activating skills," 

"What!?" Ghost Girl frowned once more as her skill failed to work 'This is bad...I can't do anything' She examined her duel disk 'It looks like this is the end of me...but...I can leave something behind if I can buy just a little more time,' Ghost Girl carefully moves her right hand under her duel disk "Tell me, why are you doing this?" 

"...Simple, I serve to watch the world burn," 'She' replied as Silver Star nods to Iron "Iron effect, to attack. I need to reveal a Star-Vader monster with Chaos within its name," Silver Star picked up one of her cards within 'her' hand "You better remember this name well..." 'she' reveals the card which turns out to be Star-Vader Chaos Breaker Dragon "I already reveal this earlier with Storm but I say it just this one time. Star-Vader Chaos Breaker Dragon," 

"Chaos...breaker dragon?" Ghost Girl asked with a fright look on her face 

"Yes, I didn't even need to hit the field...now Iron finish this!" Silver star ordered as Iron nods before dashing towards Ghost Girl 

"Please...forgive me," she muttered as Iron twin blades sliced right through 2000-2000=0 

She dropped onto her knees while Silver Star slowly walks up to her 

"Your deck is strong...but sadly, it was a little too...simple as without your traps...your entire deck becomes dead weight," said Silver Star while the Star-Vader on the field disappeared 

"So...are you going to do the same thing that you did to Brave Max?" Ghost girl asked 

Silver star shook 'her' head "No...rather, I would make some adjustment to your mind," 

"Huh, what?" Ghost girl realized a red aura under her before it started to consume her 

"Hmm...now...is anyone else worthy of my power?" Silver Star asked before slowly watching away from the scene
