Yu-Gi-Oh: The Other Hunter
Episode 1: The First Hunt
A young man was walking down the path to his house. This man's name was Kurt. As Kurt looked up at the sky, a card appeared out of nowhere and fell to his feet. Kurt bent down to pick up the card and as soon as his fingers brushed the surface, black tendrils began to extend from it. When the tendrils reached his heart, Kurt let out a bloodcurdling scream.
When Darkness is all around you
[Kurt is surrounded on all sides by black apparitions. He is dueling the leader]
And you don't know what to do
[Kurt is giving a puzzled look at his field and hand]
Just look towards the light
{His extra deck begins to glow brightly]
And it will carry you through!
[A glowing silhouette appears behind Kurt]
Ignore the shadows!
{Kurt has a glowing card in his hand. The light burned away all the shadows around him]
Ignore the doubt!
[Three silhouetted figures glow behind Kurt and two other people, one male and one female]
Just never give up
[The scene shifts back to the duel. Kurt draws]
And follow your dream!
[Kurt and two people from before pose in front of a large ankh star overlayed with a 24]
This theme song was actually written by me. Tell me if you like it.
{Two weeks later}
"Ring, ring, ring, ring, ring, Banana Phone!" an alarm clock went off.
Kurt raised an arm and shut off the alarm. He hated that song.
"Eddy!" Kurt called out, "Change that alarm!"
Eddy, a man who could be described as having 'soft muscle', rolled in on one of those desk chars with the wheels (tell me what they're called) and said, "Ha ha ha, no. It gets you up for work early."
"Maybe you should get your own job."
Eddy laughed as he rolled back into his room. Kurt got out of bed and changed into a pair of jeans, a t-shirt, and a red vest. Kurt grabbed his dueling gear and a breakfast burrito and went to his job at Delta City's largest card shop.
After about three hours of helping people finding D-Pads, Gazers, and cards, it was time for Kurt's lunch break. As Kurt went across the street to eat at McDonalds, he felt a buzzing in the back of his head.
"A Number?" Kurt thought, "Here?"
Kurt put on his D-Pad by pulling his deck box off his belt, attaching the strap to his wrist, and rotating the box 90 degrees, and attaching the main body to the top of that. The D-Pad had two prongs sticking out of the main body and pointed towards Kurt's elbow.
Kurt looked through the crowd and saw a man with a dark aura walking down the seemed to avoid this man as if he had the plague. Kurt walked in front of the man.
"Who are you?" the man said, "Get away from me!"
The dark aura around the man flared, but Kurt ignored it, "Sorry. But that trick won't work on a person with one of these."
Kurt lifted a card from his extra deck (located inside the device) and showed the back to the man, "I know you have a Number. I challenge you, mine for yours."
The other man grinned and activated his D-Pad. Both players put on their D-Gazers.
Kurt: 4000
Isaac: 4000
Isaac took the first move, "I draw. I summon Double Coston (ATK 1700). Now I activate Double summon, which allows me to normal summon again this turn. I tribute Double Coston to summon Despair from the Dark (ATK 2800) by using Double Coston as two tributes."
A shadowed figure with glowing eyes appeared. Kurt cursed the augmented reality under his breath for making things so realistic.
"I end my turn with a facedown."
Kurt drew and thought, "I need a heavy hitter for this duel, but that face down card might give me trouble. I may have the cure for that, though."
"I summon Constellar Pollux (ATK 1700)," Kurt said, "With his effect I can summon Constellar Algiedi (ATK 1600). I use his effect to summon Constellar Acubens (DEF 2000). All my Constellars gain power through his effect (ATK 1700-2200) (ATK 1600-2100). I overlay Constellar Pollux and Constellar Algiedi to xyz summon…"
A galaxy-like portal appeared and the overlay units entered it. Out of the portal came a strange black cube. That cube unfolded into a black knight with demonic wings and a scythe. The number 93 was on its left shoulder.
"Come forth, Embodiment of Despair, Number 93: Purgatory (ATK 2500). I activate Blustering Winds to give Purgatory a power boost (ATK 2500-3500)."
"I activate Threatening Roar," Isaac said, "This keeps you from attacking this turn."
"I wasn't planning on attacking."
"What?"
"I use the effect of Number 93. By absorbing an overlay unit I can force a monster to attack, and I choose Despair from the Dark."
Isaac's monster charged at Kurt's and was destroyed.
Isaac: 4000-3300
"I set a card and end my turn."
Isaac drew, "I activate Monster Reborn to bring back Despair from the Dark (ATK 2800). I activate Double Overlay, which allows me to use Despair as two overlay units. I overlay this monster and xyz summon…"
A bed-like shape appeared. This unfolded into an evil looking elf with a cane. The number 51 was on the cane.
"Number 51: Dream Eater (ATK 2000). I use the effect of my Number. By absorbing an overlay unit, he can drain the attack points from your monsters and gain their original attack points (ATK 3500-0) (ATK 2000-5300). I attack Number 93."
"I activate Half Unbreak," Kurt countered, "My monster isn't destroyed and I take half the damage."
Kurt: 4000-1350
"I equip my monster with Mist Body and end my turn (ATK 5300-2000) (ATK 0-3500)."
Kurt drew and smiled, "You should have destroyed Constellar Acubens. I summon Constellar Sombre (ATK 1700). I overlay Constellar Sombre and Constellar Acubens to xyz summon Constellar Omega (ATK 2400). I now overlay my xyz monsters to extend xyz summon!"
The monsters turned into overlay units and all of them flew into a portal in the sky. Out of the portal came an ankh. This star unfolded into a silver and purple knight with a flaming blade. A number 24 appeared over where its heart would be.
"Come forth, Embodiment of my Light, Number 24: Twilight Blaze Lord (ATK 2500)!"
"Y-you have two numbers?" Isaac looked very afraid.
Kurt began to laugh, "Of course. Did you really think I'd start with a dark monster in my Constellar deck? Now I use the effect of Number 24. I can detach two xyz materials to attack directly."
Isaac: 3300-800
"I set a card and end my turn."
Isaac drew, "I activate Fissure to destroy Number 24. Now I attack directly."
"I activate Xyz Reborn," Kurt countered, "Be reborn, Twilight Blaze Lord."
"I stop my attack and end my turn."
Kurt drew, "I activate Overlay Regen. This gives Twilight Blaze Lord another xyz material. I activate my monster's effect and attack you directly."
Isaac: 800-0
Kurt Win
Before the augmented reality dissipated, Kurt pressed a button on his D-Pad. It flipped over so that the prongs faced towards Isaac's unconscious body and fired a black energy beam straight into his chest. After a few seconds of shocks, a card was pulled from Isaac's chest. Kurt grabbed the claimed Number 51 from his D-Pad and inserted it into his extra deck.
After Kurt was done with work he went straight home. When he got inside he yelled, "The NESU works."
NESU stood for Numbers Extraction and Storage Unit. Eddy had invented it after Kurt had to slap Purgatory out of him.
Eddy came down the stairs and said, "I told you that it would work, but you doubted my technical expertise."
Kurt rolled his eyes and pulled out Number 51, "Do you have something I can put this in? It won't work with my deck."
Eddy threw Kurt an extra deck case and Kurt put the Number inside. Then he took the case upstairs and locked it in his medicine cabinet, "There. Now it will be safe."
Kurt looked out into the city from his window and thought, "Just 97 more. Then the world will be safe."
Kurt: Awesome! You have a new story and I have three Numbers.
Cory: Am I being replaced?
Me: No, you still get your story. Now I have to do the disclaimer. I don't own Yugioh Zexal. If I did, the Barians would use Negative Numbers and Shark and Rio would be human.
