St Domino: The More you Know!

[Ninetalesuk]

"That is strange..." He muttered. "...I... don't know what's going on, Syrus, but everything started when Sartorious came to the tournament... that's what I think..."

[YolkaEd]

"...so it links back to Sartorius..." Syrus remarked as he rubbed his neck.

[Ninetalesuk]

He nodded. "He's holding a secret... a secret we don't know yet... and at the moment, there's nothing we can do..."

[YolkaEd]

Syrus let out a small sigh upon hearing that. "...I wonder if there's any point in even going to the Duel Club today, considering that Jaden and Alexis have gone to study..."

[Ninetalesuk]

"I guess Crowler will be forced to call it off for now..." He noted. "Meanwhile, there's something I'd like to ask you, Syrus..."

[YolkaEd]

Syrus looked up at Zane with a curious look.

[Ninetalesuk]

"Your deck only focuses on summoning Super Vehicroid Jumbo Drill through Vehicroid Connection Zone, correct?" He asked. "I've noticed that when Chazz removed it from play, you've lost your spirit..."

[YolkaEd]

"...well..." Syrus glanced aside as he rubbed his neck. "...that's not the only focus it has... Jumbo Drill's just a reliable card, is all..." He sighed. "...I guess the reason I was so down about it was because... I just had nothing to compete with Chazz's monsters after that."

[Ninetalesuk]

"...I see..." He glanced at Syrus. "So, Jumbo Drill was your strongest monster in your deck? All right... in that case... why not evolve your deck?"

[YolkaEd]

"...well... I have a different card as well..." Syrus remarked. "...Super Vehicroid - Stealth Union. It and Jumbo Drill would be the strongest cards I have in my deck."

[Ninetalesuk]

"...Syrus, did you know there's a Level 12 Fusion Roid card?" He asked with a small smile.

[YolkaEd]

Beat.

"...I'm sorry, what?" Syrus uttered with wider eyes than you'd ever have imagined.

[Ninetalesuk]

He smirked as he held up a card...



Barbaroid, the Ultimate Battle Machine
Machine/Fusion/Effect
LV 12
Earth
5 Machine-Type "roid" monsters.
This card can attack twice during the same Battle Phase. This card cannot attack your opponent directly. After damage calculation, if this card attacked an opponent's monster: Negate the effect(s) of that monster (including in the Graveyard). If this card destroys an opponent's monster by battle: Inflict 1000 damage to your opponent.

[YolkaEd]

Beat.

"...wh-wha-wha-wha..." If it were possible, his jaw would have struck the ground in astonishment as he gawked at this. "...wh-where in the world did you get this card...?!" he uttered.

[Ninetalesuk]

"Special booster packs... after the tournament and you left to follow Jaden, I decided to see if I could help your deck a little... and as luck would have it..."

[YolkaEd]

"...ah- wha..." Syrus sputtered with wide eyes as he looked up at Zane. "...you mean... you're... really just... giving this to me...?"

[Ninetalesuk]

He nodded. "Sure... why not? I mean, my deck don't use Roid monsters, do they...? Just make sure you alter your deck, Syrus, to be more balanced... I'm aware about having two Power Bonds in your deck..."

[YolkaEd]

Syrus merely looked back at the card... and slowly, somewhat hesitantly even, he took the card out of Zane's grip. Just holding something that seemed so... strong... it was strange... much like the first time he held a Power Bond card... "...I... I..." With a small smile, he looked up at Zane. "...thanks, Zane..." Immediately, he began running down the hall. "...see you later! I've... I've got a deck to edit!"

[Ninetalesuk]

"Just make sure you stay away from Hikari School, Syrus!!" He called after him before walking away.

[YolkaEd]

"I will!" Syrus called as he kept running; thoughts on how to edit his deck swirling in his mind. ...with this kind of card... I could...
