He quickly remembers getting caught in [[Roken Kogami|Varis]]' trap, being erased by his "[[Fire Prison (anime)|Fire Prison]]"and he gasps that it was rather unexpected.

[[Emma Bessho|Ghost Gal]] circles the Duel between Data Storm where [[Yusaku Fujiki|Playmaker ]] and Varisare Dueling on her [[Duel Board]], but is unable to find an opening. [[AkiraZaizen|Zaizen]] asks if Ghost Gal can't get inside, but Ghost Gal replies that there are no openings. If she were outside LINK VRAINS she could mess with the program, visibly but she might not be able to log back in. Visibly worried for [[Skye Zaizen|his sister's ]] sake, Zaizen questions Ghost Gal about the state of Playmaker's Duel, gazing over to where the unconscious body of her sister's avatar laidBlue Angel lies, and then back to the Data Storm(in the dub, he apologizes to Skye for being unable to protect her and having to rely on someone else, before begging Playmaker not to let him down). Meanwhile, Kolter analyzes the tornado, determining it as Hanoi's program. He spots Ghost Gal outside the Data Storm, and tries to grant muses that if he can get her access into inside the Data Storm by manipulating , he can see what's going on inside. He analyses Hanoi's program, noting that it's well-designed, but made quickly, so there are irregularities in the program . He spots a red line of code and he wonders if he can uses them to get in and to create a pathway. Deciding that he has to try, he executes the security bypass (in the dub, he is more confident). A bridge hexagonal passage towards the Data Storm materializes before Ghost Gal. She wonders if someone is guiding her, who and she thinks back to when a gateway appeared for Playmaker to escape from [[George Gore|Gore]], determining that Playmaker has an allywho's watching out for him. As Ghost Girl manages She notes in amusement that this ally is telling her to enter the Data Stormgo inside, viewings of the Duel are broadcasted to Kolter and Akirathinks that it's interesting, heading into the latter of which solemnly places his faith passage with her drone cameras in Playmaker.

Howevershe thinks that she's an independent girl, Varis sealed away the Cyberse with but time is of the effect of "Fire Prison", preventing Playmaker from making any move against Varis. Playmaker deduces that it was for this reason that Varis chose not to play "[[Topologic Bomber Dragon (animeessence)|Topologic Bomber Dragon]]". Varis smirks and chastises Playmaker for relying on an Ignis. As Playmaker expressed confusion at Ghost Gal manages to enter the terminologyData Storm, Varis explained what an Ignis was. Previous attempts at creating artificial life in the network resulted in regular programs being created, all of which lack a certain something she notes that you'd have to be considered skilled to create a life form: free will. Varis recounts pathway in this wall, and that someone made free will into she wishes she could have a program and, taking after the myth of Prometheus giving heaven's forbidden fire to humans, named them "Ignis": AI discussion with free will.

Ghost Gal glows with blue light and she lowers through the air and lands on a nearby rock (in the dub, she muses that it's not what she expected in the effect eye of a storm). She spots Playmaker and Varis, gasping their names. Kolter notes that now he can keep an eye on Yusaku, while Zaizen solemnly places his faith in Playmaker.

Ai once again questions where he is, to which Playmaker jokingly responds that Ai's back to being a hostage. Ai asks if he was sleeping, and Playmaker snarks that he was in a deep sleep (in the dub, Ai grumbles about going from one cell to another, and a smaller one at that, while Playmaker remains silent). Ai panics, and he asks if Playmaker lost, and Playmaker replies that of course he didn't, but his LP is like a candle in the wind, and Ai expresses his dismay at the pinch Playmaker is in with 600 LP. Playmaker comments that Ai can go back to sleep if he wants, and Ai notes that the fact that he woke up means... Playmaker confirms that "Fire Prison" has been destroyed (in the dub, Ai begins talking tough and analyzing the field). With the destruction of "Fire Prison", the DEF of "Linkbelt Wall Dragon" returns to 2100, while the ATK of "Firewall Dragon" increases to 2800 due to the effect of "Cynet Universe" (Ai is the one to note the change in "Linkbelt Wall Dragon's" DEF in the dub). Ai, in an attempt to catch up on what he missed in the Duel, can only describe "Firewall Dragon", who he asks if Playmaker obtained via Storm Access in their Speed Duel, and "Borreload Dragon" as incredible (in the dub, he snaps at Playmaker for doing the analysis, before then freaking out over "Borreload Dragon). Playmaker orders "Firewall Dragon" to attack, and the body of "Firewall Dragon" changes from blue to red as it unleashes its "Tempest Terahertz", destroying "Linkbelt Wall Dragon". Varis drops from his monster's coils to the ground, lamenting its destruction.

He equips it to "Firewall Dragon", preventing Varis' cards from targeting "Firewall Dragon", and it cannot be destroyed in battle. Varis responds with a [[Spell Card]] from his hand, "[[Arrow Charge]]". Varis explains that when both monsters in the [[Extra Monster Zone]]s have the same [[Link Rating]], he can draw two cards. Varis then summons "[[Anesthrokket Dragon (anime)|Anesthrokket Dragon]]" before activating one of his drawn cards: a [[Quick-Play Spell Card]], "[[Squib Draw (anime)|Squib Draw]]". He destroys a "[[Rokket]]" monster on his field and draws two cards from his Deck.

As "Borreload Dragon" roars, the DEF of "Autorokket" drops to 800. Varis then reveals his motive for lowering his own monster's DEF, activating the effect of "Autorokket". When it is targeted by the effect of a Link Monster, "Autorokket" destroys itself, and a Spell or Trap Card on the field is sent to the Graveyard. "Autorokket" transforms into an orange ball, and the ball enters one of the cylinders on "Borreload Dragon". The cannon in the mouth of "Borreload Dragon" begins to glow orange as a blast shoots out towards "Parallel Port Armor", sending it to the Graveyard. From this, Playmaker is able to determine Varis' strategy, destroying the "Rokket" monsters when they are targeted by a Link Monster's effect, using them as bullets for "Borreload Dragon" (in the dub, Playmaker notes that Varis answered Ai's question, and Ai replies that he didn't have to be so rough about it). [[File:Borreload takes Firewall.png|thumb|left|250px|"[[Firewall Dragon (anime)|Firewall Dragon]]" begins to glitch as "[[Borreload Dragon (anime)|Borreload Dragon]]" takes control of it.]]Varis comments that now, the protection on "Firewall Dragon" is gone, and declares an attack with "Borreload Dragon".

The bullet strikes "Firewall Dragon"and melts into slag that spreads over its body, which and "Firewall Dragon" begins to glitch and disappear, surprising Playmaker and Ai. Suddenly, "Firewall Dragon" appears on Varis's side of the field. Playmaker deduces the effect of "Borreload Dragon" to be one that takes control of monsters(in the dub, Varis immediately announces his intention to take control of "Firewall Dragon"). Varis lightly chuckles and declares a direct attack with "Firewall Dragon". As "Firewall Dragon" charges up its "Tempest AttackTerahertz" and Varis taunts Playmaker for having his own Cyberse end him. Ai freaks out, and Playmaker responds that he knows (in the dub, Ai lightly comments that it's been nice knowing Playmaker; Playmaker replies that it's not over yet). He activates his Trap Card, "[[Cynet Refresh (anime)|Cynet Refresh]]", which destroys all monsters in the [[Main Monster Zones Zone]]s when a Cyberse monster attacks. Varis sets Sets a card, taunting Playmaker with his impenetrable field's defense. Since they were destroyed, Varis activates the effects of both "Anesthrokket" and "Autorokket", Special Summoning two copies of "[[Magnarokket Dragon (anime)|Magnarokket Dragon]]", which both have their DEF increased from 1200 to 1500due to "Boot Sector Launch". Playmaker uses the effect of "Cynet Refresh" to Special Summon "Firewall Dragon" from the GY, which gains 300 ATK by due to the effect of "Cynet Universe". Then, Playmaker activates his Trap Card, "[[Recoded Alive (anime)|Recoded Alive]]", banishing "Decode Talker" from his GY Graveyard to Special Summon a "Code Talker" monster from his Extra Deck. He Special Summons his other "Code Talker": "Encode Talker", and it also gains 300 ATK, rising to 2600.  Playmaker warns Varis that their real battle is just getting started.
