Vile: And here I am once more with my next Numbershot!
Yuma: Based on the Number of it, looks like we'll be seeing an old friend in this!
Vile: Yep. And I'm surprised no one get the reference in the latest Decks-hibition. Lemme clear it up:
Yuya's line: "Forget it! Your little pea shooter won't even scratch my pain job!" is a line spoke by Teisel Bonne, taken directly from the battle against the Marlwolf in Megaman Legends 1. A little video game reference for the win. ^_^
Vile: And with that reference revealed, let's start the new story! Standard disclaimer here, people! Enjoy!
Numbershot 34: Viral Attitude
Chapter 1
"Reedy, all righty…" A male voice mused as he typed rapidly on the computer, two other boys beside him. The boy at the computer moved part of his white hair out of his face. "Just a little more work, and those test answers are as good as ours!"
"Geegeegeegee! This is gonna be so awesome!" Another boy, having black hair and being short, giggled. "This'll show those smart-alecks in class!"
"They'll show us respect once we're the ones getting the top grades!" The final boy, a bulky blonde, said.
"I'm in!" The white-haired boy said, his computer avatar moving through a gateway. "Now, where are those test answers…?" The avatar looked around, searching through each file. "I think this one is it!" The avatar tried to open the file, but a password square popped up in its way.
"Geeh! It needs a password!" The black-haired boy griped.
"No problem." The white-haired boy said, cracking his knuckles. With a few quick strokes of the keys, the password box was filled in, and the typer hit "Enter". The password box claimed the password was accepted, and the file opened to show a document.
"Score! This test is as good as aced!" The blonde said. All of a sudden, the dots on the scantron-esque grid started moving around. "Nani?"
Then, something tore through the document, being a small creature with a bomb for a head. "BAGUMAN!" It cried.
"BUGMAN?!" The three boys cried, a "geegee" coming from the black-haired boy afterwards. The creature in the computer began conjuring and throwing bombs all over the document, exploding and deleting the data. The creature then threw a bomb directly at the screen, causing an explosion that caused a blue screen to appear on the monitor. (A/N: The Blue Screen of Death. XD)
All of a sudden, the door to the area they were hiding in, a janitor's closet, was slammed open. "Busted!" The three boys snapped their heads back, coming face-to-face with Sedo Kuran. "Oh no, not you three again."
"Uh… geegee, hey, Inchou." The black-haired boy said with an uneasy laugh.
Yamoto then came in their view. "You three just can't seem to learn your lesson, can you?" He asked rhetorically, his eyes glowing purple with an eerie smile. The three boys whimpered with scared looks.
*Ten Minutes Later*
The trio of boys sat in the principal's office, tied up with a rope again, Sedo watching them. Yamoto walked out of the principal's office, slapping a note on each of their foreheads. "You three are suspended for five days."
"Five days?!" The blonde gasped.
"Maybe this'll teach you nitwits not to hack into the school's computers." Yamoto deadpanned.
"How the hell did you even find us out?!" The white-haired boy demanded to know.
Yamoto smiled and snapped his fingers. From around the corner, Professor Ukyo and Takashi walked into the room. "Ukyo-sensei detected your hacking and baited you with a fake file. You really don't know what you're dealing with, do you?"
"I can't believe I actually hired you on as help for my campaign. I'm actually glad I lost." Sedo growled.
Takashi walked up with a glare. "I do not tolerate this kind of behavior."
"Stuff it in your ear, Todoroki-baka!" The white-haired boy snapped at him. "You presidents are outdated and overrated anyways!"
"Shut up. Sedo, untie them." Takashi said. The orange-haired boy complied and undid the rope. Takashi ripped off the white-haired boy's note and stuffed it in his mouth. "Now get out!"
The black-haired boy was the first one to walk out. "Geegeegee… you're gonna regret doing this to us!" He said before leaving.
"You don't know who you're dealing with, either." The orange-haired boy said as he left.
Finally, the white-haired boy walked to the door, but turned to glare at Takashi. "One of these days… this school will be under our control!" With that, he turned and left.
"Do you think that's supposed to be a threat?" Professor Ukyo wondered.
"It's a hollow one. Those three would never be able to pull off something that big. They couldn't even wreck a campaign." Takashi said, getting a laugh out of them and Yamoto.
*Outside the School*
"Geeeee! This is complete bullcrap!" The black-haired boy yelled to no one in particular.
"Aokarasu, cool it. Once we figure out a plan, we'll be on top of the heap." The white-haired boy said. "Any bright ideas, Akahebi?"
"Unfortunately not, Shirotora." The orange-haired boy replied.
"Great. So we're all out of ideas." Shirotora groaned.
"Do you three need help with something?" A voice asked them. Aokarasu looked behind him to see a man behind him.
"GEEEH! Don't sneak up on people like that, geegee!" The short boy yelped.
"Oh, sorry. I didn't mean to frighten you." The man said.
"I don't see how you can help us." Akahebi told the man.
"Well, the way I can help you requires that I get ahold of one of a certain group of cards." The man told them. "Do you know this boy?" He showed them a visual through a D-Gazer.
"Yeah! That's Yuma Tsukumo, one of Todoroki-baka's goons!" Aokarasu squeaked. "Makes me sick to my stomach, he does, geegee!"
"Well, he holds a special group of cards in his possession. They're known as the Numbers." The man told them. "If you can get me at least one of them, I can help you with a plan to absolutely destroy his reputation."
All three boys grinned evilly. "Oh, I am SO in on this!" Akahebi laughed.
"Gee! Gee! Gee! Yeah yeah, let's do it!" Aokarasu chanted, bouncing up and down.
"Now then… what's the plan?" Shirotora asked.
The man grinned. "Listen closely…"
*After School*
The man who agreed to help the three boys watched the school building, waiting for Yuma and his friends to walk out. Soon, the group in question exited the building. "You know what to do, my pet…" He formed darkness on his hand, and Yuma's key gleamed.
*Within The Emperor's Key*
A pillar within the Key glowed ominously, and a black orb came out of it, reforming into Number 88. "So, he's got a job for me, does he? This oughta be fun." Number 88 did a quick look back and forth, making sure no one was around. "Thank god. I ain't gotta deal with any bullcrap." He turned to the Number pillars with a grin. "So… which one should I let loose…" He pointed his fingers back and forth between the pillars, unsure of which one to pick. "Eh, this is gonna take forever. Ah, I know!" He closed his eyes with a giddy smile, moving his finger along the portals. "Eeny, meeny, miney, moe, free the Number by its toe, let it out to cause some woe, eeny, meeny, miney… MOE!" A purple beam was fired from his finger, striking the pillar. Number 88 opened his eyes to see the pillar he struck shake slightly before dimming. "Looks like you're the lucky one, heehee. Have fun, big guy!" Number 88 retreated into his orb form and retreated into his own pillar while the pillar he struck fired out a yellow orb toward the sky, to outside the Emperor's Key.
Vile: Number 88's released a Number from its pillar (you should know which one), so things are about to get bad.
Number 88: How the heck was I even able to do that?!
Yuma: How did you even get in here?!
Number 88: Cool it. *taps fingers on an invisible barrier, revealing it* Vile's got me trapped.
