Chapter One
"Go, Submersible Carrier Aeroshark! Attack him directly!" a purple-haired teenager yelled, pointing toward a larger boy with dark green hair.
The large, dark-haired boy yelped and took a step back as two machine-like sharks linked by some metallic shafts flew toward him, jaws open. The two sharks crashed into him, causing a large explosion and sending the boy skidding backwards. "Oomph!" he groaned as he landed painfully on his back. Meanwhile, two lackeys flanking the purple-haired boy snickered stupidly.
Bronk: 0 LP
"Bronk!" cried another nearby boy, who was wearing a white T-shirt, a red tie, a golden pendant, and blue jeans and sported a weird, spiky mass of hair that was predominantly black but had some red in the front. He ran up to the fallen boy, closely followed by a green-haired girl wearing a sleeveless white shirt and a pink skirt.
Wincing, Bronk got to his feet and dusted himself off, clearly trying hard to look as though he was unfazed by that last attack that had just occurred. "I'm fine," he replied dismissively, trying to brush off the two new arrivals.
"That may be," interrupted the purple-haired boy from earlier, "but your Deck certainly isn't!" He smirked cruelly, holding out a hand. "Remember our deal, Bronk?"
Bronk grimaced, reluctantly pulling out his Duel Deck and handing it over to the purple-haired boy, sighing. "All right, Shark, you win. A deal's a deal," he said, looking resigned.
"Why, thank you, Bronk," grinned Shark, pocketing his newly acquired Deck.
However, the spiky-haired boy looked anything but resigned. In fact, he looked indignant. "Wait a minute!" he snarled. "Why are you taking Bronk's Deck?!"
Shark laughed softly, not even bothering to make eye contact with his new challenger. "I don't see how it's any of your business," he responded, smirking all the while.
"Me? I'm Yuma Tsukumo!" declared the spiky-haired boy, taking a step forward. "And I happen to be Bronk's best friend!"
Shark's smirk slowly shrank until it completely disappeared, replacing itself with a look of annoyance. He made a motion with his head, and the two large teenagers on either side of him moved forward threateningly. "Listen, punk," one of them ground out. "Do you know who this we are?"
"Yuma..." the green-haired girl whispered worriedly.
But Yuma didn't back down. "Don't worry, Tori," he said to the girl. "I know who he is," he replied boldly, turning back to the lackey and gesturing at Shark. Turning to said person, he continued, "You're the leader of a gang of bullies around here, aren't you? You duel people, and then, if you win, you take their Decks!"
Shark's grin reappeared. "So you know what I do. Well in that case, you can probably guess what happened here. Your friend," he placed mocking emphasis on the word friend, "and I dueled each other, and we agreed that the winner would get the loser's Deck. As you can tell," he gestured, "your friend Bronk here lost."
"Bronk!" Yuma cried in dismay, turning to his friend. "Why would you duel him when you knew you would lose?!"
Bronk looked away and began dusting himself off some more. "I didn't want to at first," he mumbled. "But then—then he and his goons started calling me a big chicken!"
"That's right," agreed Shark. "And Bronk here couldn't being called a chicken, could he, boys?" All three of the bullies laughed cruelly.
"Grr..." Yuma's fist clenched involuntarily. Suddenly, he found himself pointing at Shark. "That's it, Shark! You've gone too far!" His entire body was trembling with rage. "When you mess with one of my friends... you mess with me! Shark, I'm challenging you to a Duel! And if I win," he swept his arm around to point at Bronk, "you'll give Bronk's Deck back, along with everyone else's!"
"What?!" the goon on Shark's left cried. "You're out of your mind! A kid like you can't Duel with the likes of Shark! You're not even in the same league with him!"
"Is that so?" challenged Yuma. "So is that a no, Shark? Are you... a chicken?"
Shark's smile slowly morphed into a frown, his eyes becoming unfocused. "Me... a chicken?" he whispered, as though having difficulty understanding the word. Then his eyes cleared, and he growled at Yuma. "Do you know what happens when someone calls me a chicken?"
Yuma gulped, taking a step back. Okay, so maybe I didn't really think this part through. "Uh... something bad?" he guessed.
"I don't know," Shark yelled, "because no one's ever called me that before!"
"Oh yeah? Well..." Yuma paused to think, "then let this be the first time!"
"Hmph." Shark frowned as though thinking about this challenge, and then suddenly broke into a feral grin. "Well, I admire your confidence, kid! But say I were to accept this challenge... If I lose, I'd lose all of these Decks that I've won. But if I win, the way it is right now, I wouldn't get anything! So," his hand shot out to point at Yuma, "here's my question: What do you have to offer me if I win?"
Yuma hesitated. Guess I didn't think this part through either... He involuntarily looked down toward his golden pendant.
Eh? Shark followed Yuma's gaze... and noticed the pendant for the first time as well. He smirked inwardly. Well, guess I found my prize. He reached forward and snatched the pendant off of Yuma's neck. "Say," he spoke, "how about this necklace of yours?"
"Huh?" Yuma cried out. "Hey! That's mine! Give it back! This wasn't part of the deal! Give it here!" He jumped up and tried to grab Shark, but the two lackeys jumped in and pushed him back, causing him to lose his balance and fall. He immediately jumped again and continued trying to reach Shark, only to be pushed back again and again.
"Well, then," Shark continued, ignoring Yuma's antics, "it seems like it's settled, then. We'll meet on Saturday, at the park. If I lose, I'll give back all the Decks that I took. But if you lose..." he paused ominously, "I'll take your Deck, and this necklace of yours, too!"
"Yuma!" protested Bronk. "Don't do it! You'll lose for sure! I'm over it, really!"
"That's right, Yuma!" agreed Tori. "If you lose... you'll lose your Deck, and I know how important that pendant is to you!"
But Yuma simply continued to fixate on Shark, seemingly oblivious to Bronk and Tori's protests. "All right," he growled. "I'll accept those terms. But I want my pendant back now!"
Shark simply smirked at him. "I don't think so. You'll get your pendant back when and if you beat me in our little duel. Until then... I think I'll keep this little necklace. As insurance, if you will. I'm sure you understand." He began to walk away, twirling Yuma's pendant by its string.
"Hey!" Yuma cried, running after him. Shark's goons once again intercepted him, grabbing him and throwing him onto the ground. "Oomph!"
"Yuma!" cried Tori worriedly, running forward to help her friend up.
Yuma quickly got to his feet, shrugging Tori off obliviously. "Shark..." he growled softly. "I want my pendant back! Now!"
Shark fixed him with an annoyed stare. "Listen, brat, I already said no. You should feel lucky that I'm even agreeing to this at all. Now unless you want to take back that challenge of yours, get out of my sight and don't return until our Duel on Saturday. Otherwise... my boys are going to have some more fun with you."
With that, he strolled off, his lackeys trailing slightly behind him.
"Hey!" Yuma yelled. "Get back here!" His fists were clenched, and he seemed about to run after Shark when Tori put her hand on his shoulder.
"Yuma," she said softly. "Think about what you're doing. If you go after them, you'll just get even more hurt. In fact, it'd be safest if you didn't show up tomorrow at all. Forget it, Yuma! Bronk's already said that he doesn't care—"
"Yeah, that's right, Yuma!" Bronk chimed in. "Shark's just a bully, that's all—but that's no reason for you to go Duel him and lose for sure! That's what he wants you to do, and I know how important that pendant is to you—"
"No," Yuma answered. "Listen, guys, I appreciate that you care, but this is something I have to do, okay? It may have started when I saw you and Shark dueling, Bronk, but you said it yourself: Shark is a bully! And bullies..." He looked in the direction Shark had left. "They have to be stopped. And I'm going to be the one to do it."
"Yuma..." Tori murmured. "But... why?"
"Because," Yuma answered, "I couldn't live with myself if I didn't. I'd be dishonoring the memory of my dad... and that's the whole point of me having that pendant in the first place. If I can't beat Shark... I don't deserve to have it."
"So, Yuma, are you ready for this?" Shark asked ominously, his posture relaxed, an aura of menace exuding from his body. Yuma's golden key dangled from his neck.
"You bet I'm ready!" Yuma cried.
There was a series of machine-like beeps and whirs as both Duelists strapped on their Duel Disks. "Duel Disk, go! Duel Gazer, set! Let's duel!" both cried simultaneously.
Yuma: 4000 LP
Shark: 4000 LP
Yuma drew his starting hand, and his face quickly morphed into a grin. "All right!" he shouted. "I'll start us off! I draw!" He looked down at his hand. "I Summon Zubaba Knight to the field in Attack Mode!"
A gold-armored warrior with twin blades and a red cape appeared.
Zubaba Knight: 1600 ATK
"I end my turn!"
"Then it's my move! I draw," Shark snarled, "and I Summon Big Jaws in Attack Mode!"
A ferocious looking grayish-blue shark appeared on the field, eying Yuma's Knight hungrily.
Big Jaws: 1800 ATK
"Uh-oh!" cried Yuma. "That thing's stronger than my Zubaba Knight! At this rate, my Knight'll be toast!"
"If you think Big Jaws is strong now," responded Shark with a feral grin, "you should take a good look at this next card! I activate the Spell Card, Aqua Jet! With it, my Big Jaws gets powered up with a thousand more ATK Points!"
Big Jaws: 2800 ATK
"Ack!" gasped Yuma. "Not good!"
"Not good is right!" yelled Shark. "Big Jaws, attack! Swallow that Knight of his whole!"
The shark flew toward Zubaba Knight and closed its powerful jaws on it, causing Yuma's monster to shatter into thousands of yellow shards.
"And now," Shark continued, "let me remind you: Since your monster was in Attack Mode when it was destroyed, you take damage equal to the difference between our two monster's ATK Points!"
"Aahhh!" Yuma screamed as he was blasted backwards by a gust of wind.
Yuma: 2800 LP
"Yuma!" cried Tori, standing uneasily at the sidelines.
"Next time, place your weaker monsters in Defense Mode," sneered Shark. "I place one card face-down and end my turn! Now that I've ended my turn, Big Jaws returns to its original ATK Points! It's your move, Yuma!"
Big Jaws: 1800 ATK
"All right, then," Yuma growled resiliently. "I draw!" After taking a brief look at his hand, he cried, "Nice! I Summon Gagaga Magician to the field in Attack Mode!"
A strange-looking cloaked figure with a chain appeared on the field.
Gagaga Magician: 1500 ATK
"Psht," snorted Shark carelessly. "That monster only has 1500 ATK Points! It's no match for my Big Jaws!"
"Wrong!" retorted Yuma.
"Huh?"
"You told me to place my weaker monsters in Defense Mode," explained Yuma. "But Gagaga Magician is far from a weak monster! And now I'm going to show you why! I'm equipping Wonder Wand to Gagaga Magician! With this card, my Magician gains 500 ATK Points!"
Gagaga Magician: 2000 ATK
"Nice!" said Bronk from the sidelines. "With that Equip Spell on it, now Gagaga Magician is stronger than Shark's monster!"
"Go, Gagaga Magician!" called Yuma. "Attack Big Jaws with Energy Flash!"
"Not so fast, Yuma!" Shark snarled. "I activate my Trap Card—Zeus' Breath!"
"Zeus' Breath?" wondered Tori. "What does that do?"
"Allow me to explain!" Shark cried. "When Zeus' Breath is activated, I can negate one attack from a monster you control! So it looks like your Magician won't be attacking Big Jaws this turn! But that's not all!" He grinned mirthlessly. "After your attack is negated, if I happen to control a WATER monster, you take 800 points of damage! And it just so happens that Big Jaws is a WATER monster! So prepare yourself, Yuma! Go, Zeus! Raging Tidal Wave!"
"AAHH!" Yuma yelled out as he was swept backwards by a huge torrent of water.
Yuma: 2000 LP
"Face it, Yuma," said Shark mockingly. "There's no way you can win! You might as well give up now and save yourself some trouble!"
"Never!" answered Yuma. "I place one card face-down and end my turn!"
"In that case, it's my turn! I draw!" Shark looked down at his hand briefly before smirking cruelly. "Say good-bye, Yuma! I Summon Skull Kraken to the field in Attack Mode!"
A skull appeared with several tentacles underneath it.
Skull Kraken: 600 ATK
"Huh?" Tori questioned. "But that monster has lower ATK Points than Gagaga Magician? Why would Shark Summon it to the field?"
"I don't know," Bronk answered darkly, "but I'd bet it isn't for anything good."
"Watch and learn, Yuma!" Shark intoned. "I activate Skull Kraken's special ability! When Skull Kraken is Summoned, I can destroy one Spell or Trap Card you control! So I'm destroying your Wonder Wand! And since Wonder Wand has been destroyed, Gagaga Magician returns to normal!"
Gagaga Magician: 1500 ATK
"Give up, Yuma," mocked Shark. "It's over and you know it. After my Big Jaws destroys your Magician, Skull Kraken can attack you directly, and then you'll be down to a mere 1100 Life Points, which would be easy pickings even for someone like you! You're finished!"
Yuma looked down, not answering. No... Can I really lose now, after having come so far? Am I... just not good enough?
Shark laughed coldly. "To think that I actually accepted your challenge. Those cards of yours are worse than useless! At the very least, I hope that you'll learn your lesson: Don't pick fights that you can't win!"
"No, Shark," answered Yuma. "That's a lesson I'll never learn! Even if you knock me down, I'll stand up and keep fighting, because when you're feeling the flow, there's no turning back! And speaking of feeling the flow, I so... am!"
A shock wave seemed to come out from Yuma, spreading across the entire Duel Field. When it reached the golden pendant hanging around Shark's neck, the pendant appeared to react strangely, beginning to glow a bright yellow and float slightly above Shark's chest.
"Wh-what's going on?" Shark cried, frightened. "Yuma! What's going on here?! What's with this necklace of yours?! Ugh—no!" He screamed as he was enveloped in a blast of golden light.
"Unngh..." Shark groaned as he sat up, rubbing his head. "What happened? All I can remember is that I was dueling Yuma... and—" He sat bolt upright. "Yuma! His necklace! This is all his fault! I swear, when I find him, I'll—" He abruptly stopped and looked around. "Wait a minute... Where am I?"
A strange door resembling a fanged face loomed in front of him, behind which glowed a soft, ethereal light.
"Okay, that's weird," muttered Shark, pinching himself on the arm. "I can feel pain, so this isn't a dream... So then what is this place, and why am I here?"
Reginald Kastle, boomed a ghostly voice, seemingly emanating from the door. You hold in your hand the key to great power. But with great power comes great risk. Will you open the door to your new found power?
"What? I hold a key in my hand?" Shark looked down and saw that he for some reason was holding Yuma's golden pendant. "This thing's... a key?" He looked up. "But more importantly, who are you and how do you know my name?"
I am the door to great power, the voice boomed. If you choose to open this door, you shall be granted power beyond your wildest dreams. Will you open the door, Reginald Kastle?
"Great power, huh?" Shark glanced down at the key before smirking evilly. "Well, well... It seems our friend Yuma's full of surprises. To think that he'd have something like this—heh, I bet he doesn't even know what it is. All right, I'll open this door. How do I open it?"
Use the key, the voice answered, beginning to fade away. Use... the key...
"Use the key, huh? Well, that didn't help much at all... Wait!" Shark ran up to the door and felt it. "There's a groove here. It seems just the right size for the pendant... Eh, whatever. Let's try it!" And with that, he thrust the key into the groove.
Golden light burst everywhere, changing everything to just a haze of gold. Shark floated in the air restlessly until the light faded to black. "Huh?" Shark found himself at the center of a sphere of brilliantly glowing cards. Suddenly, all the cards exploded outwards and away from Shark. He felt himself falling... falling... falling...
"Ohh..." Shark groaned, swaying on his feet, stars dancing before his eyes. "What happened?" He lifted his head and barely saw Yuma standing in front of him, his two friends observing him closely.
"Hey, Bronk," Tori said. "Is it just me, or does Yuma seem weird?"
"Huh?" Bronk answered obliviously. "He's Yuma. He's always weird. What's your point?"
"No, I mean he's weirder than usual," Tori countered.
"Hey, now that you mention it," Bronk mused, looking at Yuma strangely, "you're right. He does seem kinda out-of-whack. Maybe Shark's gotten to him?"
For Yuma was hunched over, his red eyes glazed. His mouth slowly stretched into a sinister grin. He started speaking in a voice that sounded exactly like Yuma, yet somehow... eviller. "Shark... I'm going to beat you in this Duel. Hurry up and end your turn so I can crush you!"
Shark rubbed the stars out of his eyes. "That was weird..." he muttered. "Ah, whatever," he dismissed, returning his attention to Yuma. "You say you're going to crush me? Hmph, I'd like to see you try! Big Jaws, attack!"
Gagaga Magician was quickly crushed into bits of golden particles by the huge shark.
Again, a blast of wind rolled toward Yuma, but this time, the spiky-haired boy hardly seemed fazed by it.
Yuma: 1700 LP
"Skull Kraken, attack Yuma directly!" yelled Shark.
The skull zoomed toward Yuma and slashed at him with its tentacles. But again, Yuma stood firm.
Yuma: 1100 LP
"Whatever it is, Yuma's focus sure seems to have improved," noted Bronk.
"Yeah, but he doesn't seem himself, don't you notice?" returned Tori worriedly. "Yuma's not supposed to have good focus! And even if his focus has improved, his Life Points are still way lower, and he doesn't have any monsters while Shark has—"
"That's true, Tori," replied Bronk. "But right now, we can't do anything about it, and from the way Yuma looks he certainly seems to have a plan. Let's just hope it's a good one."
"I end my turn!" Shark declared. Of course, I could have finished him off by Xyz Summoning my Submersible Carrier Aeroshark, but I want to see what he's got in store first.
"My move!" snarled Yuma, snatching a card from his Deck. "I draw! And first I Summon out Gogogo Golem, in Attack Mode!"
A rock-looking monster appeared on the field, shielding itself with two large arms.
Gogogo Golem: 1800 ATK
"Next, I activate the Spell Card Monster Reborn!" declared Yuma. "And with it, I'm bringing back Gagaga Magician!"
Gagaga Magician: 1500 ATK
"Now I overlay my Level 4 Gogogo Golem and Gagaga Magician!" Yuma cried, grinning maniacally. "I'm ending your reign of terror here and now, Shark! With these two monsters I build the Overlay Network and Xyz Summon... Number 39: Utopia!"
A huge warrior clad in white-gold armor with an enormous blade at its side appeared, towering over Shark menacingly.
Number 39: Utopia: 2500 ATK (OVL: 2)
"Where did Yuma get that monster?!" gasped Bronk surprisedly.
At that point, a stylized, glowing "39" appeared on the back of Yuma's hand, and a darkish-golden aura seemed to flare up around him. "You're finished, Shark," he said, all too gleefully. "Utopia, attack! Destroy his Skull Kraken with Rising Sun Slash!"
Shark braced himself for the hit, but when Yuma's monster destroyed his own, he felt a pain unlike any he had ever felt before in a Duel—did that "Utopia" monster just inflict real damage? Unable to contain himself, Shark let out a scream of anguish as pain flooded his entire body.
Shark: 2400 LP
"What the... what was that?" he muttered, looking up fearfully at the golden warrior.
"N-no way," muttered one of Shark's lackeys in astonishment.
"That punk managed to score a hit against the boss," the other one said fearfully. "And a pretty big one, too!"
"So you've felt it," Yuma murmured, and his red eyes widened with pleasure. "You've felt the pain of a Number's attack! I knew it! I knew you would never be able to stand up to me—you, who only fight for yourself! Those who bully will never prevail—and I'm going to prove it—not just by defeating you in a Duel, but by crushing you so hard you will never muster the courage to bully someone ever again!"
"You—you're crazy—aren't you?!" Shark accused, coughing slowly. "Who—what are you?!"
"I'm your vengeance personified, Shark!" shouted Yuma, now looking unquestionably deranged. Intoxicated by his bully-slaying rage, he continued, "I'm the one who will make you answer to your sins—and my Number 39: Utopia will be my weapon of choice—to make you pay!"
"Okay," conceded Bronk, "you're right, Tori, Yuma's definitely not himself. What could be going on? At this rate, I'm not sure if I want him to win..."
"Your end is near, Shark! And I intend to be the one delivering it! I end my turn with a face-down card!" Yuma declared.
Shark steeled himself to continue fighting. Ughh... If I don't finish him off this turn, I'm toast... But what can I do? That monster of his seems unbeatable... No! I just have fight on! I can beat him!
"It's my turn, Yuma! I draw!" Shark looked down at his hand. His eyes widened. Of course! "I Tribute Big Jaws in order to Tribute Summon my Jawsman!"
A purple creature with two legs appeared, mouths with sharp teeth opening all over it.
Jawsman: 2600 ATK
"And since Jawsman has more ATK Points than your puny Number," Shark sneered, "he can take it out! Go, Jawsman, attack Number 39: Utopia!"
Yuma stood firm, a strange smile fixed on his face as Shark's huge creature barreled toward Utopia.
Yuma: 1000 LP
As the smoke cleared from Shark's attack, something was noticeably wrong.
"What?!" exclaimed Shark, eyes wide with fear and astonishment. "H-how—?"
Yuma's huge golden-clad warrior still stood, sword held firmly in one hand, seemingly having parried Jawsman's attack.
"It seems you've noticed Utopia's special ability," Yuma noted with an extremely creepy smile. "Well, I suppose that's a bit inaccurate. Actually, this is a special ability that pertains to all Number monsters!"
"All Numbers?" Bronk gasped.
"That's right, Bronk," Yuma answered, turning to his friend. This time, the smile on his face was so genuine and sincere-looking that he almost looked like the regular Yuma—if not for the menacing golden aura still surrounding him. "Number monsters can't be destroyed in battle except by other Number monsters!"
"Other Number monsters?!" exclaimed Shark, dismayed. "But I... I don't have any Number monsters! How am I supposed to destroy that thing now?!"
"You aren't," returned Yuma, his friendly smile replaced once again by his disturbing grin. "This thing is supposed to destroy you! Now be a good little boy and end your turn, Shark!"
Shark growled, uselessly searching for some way to stop Yuma's monster. Finding none, he growled, "Even if I can't destroy that monster of yours, Jawsman is still stronger! I'll just keep on attacking with him until I draw what I need to finish you for good, Yuma!" Of course, there is the problem that Yuma could just switch Utopia to Defense Mode, he thought gloomily. But he's Yuma... and there's still a slight chance he won't realize that he can do that. Then again, the chances of that are slim... so I might as well power up my Jawsman while I still can... "I activate the Spell Card, Surface! With this card, I can bring back a Level 3 or lower Fish-, Sea Serpent-, or Aqua-Type monster from my Graveyard! So I Summon back Skull Kraken in Defense Mode!"
Skull Kraken: 1600 DEF
"And now Jawsman's ability activates!" Shark cried. "Jawsman gains 300 ATK Points for every other WATER monster on my field! And I now have one other WATER monster! So Jawsman's ATK Points increase to a whopping 2900!"
Jawsman: 2900 ATK
"All right!" laughed one of the goons. "The boss is still in this!"
"I end my turn!" Shark declared.
"Not good!" spoke Bronk through clenched teeth. "Even if Utopia can't be destroyed, Jawsman is still stronger! Yuma's still going to be in for a rough fight!"
"Not at all," responded Yuma with his unnervingly calm grin. "I draw! And I attack your Jawsman with my Utopia!"
The gold-armored warrior nodded and soared toward Shark's beast.
"What?" growled Shark. "You fool! Even if Utopia can't be destroyed, he's still weaker, so you'll still take damage! And you don't really have enough Life Points left to afford it, do you, Yuma?"
"I activate Utopia's special ability!" Yuma cried, ignoring Shark altogether. "Once per turn, by using up one of its Overlay Units, I can negate an attack! So I'm negating my own!"
Number 39: Utopia: 2500 ATK (OVL: 1)
"Is your strategy to waste your monster's Overlay Units?" Shark asked unconcernedly, though inwardly he was wondering what Yuma would do next. "If so, it's working splendidly!"
"Oh, that may have just used up one of Utopia's overlay units," Yuma answered, "but I have something much bigger for you in store! I activate the Spell Card, Double or Nothing!"
"Double or Nothing?" Shark questioned worriedly. "What does that do?"
"You see, when one of my monster's attacks is negated," Yuma answered, "Double or Nothing allows that monster to attack again, except this time, that monster's ATK Points are doubled!"
"No way!" breathed Tori. "5000 ATK Points?!"
Number 39: Utopia: 5000 ATK (OVL: 1)
"Go, Utopia!" Yuma shouted, his golden aura flaring even brighter. "Destroy Jawsman with Rising Sun Ultimate Slash!"
Shark screamed, writhing as Utopia's attack flung him through the air to land painfully on his back.
Shark: 300 LP
"That attack," he whispered weakly, getting to his feet. "I felt its energy... It felt like my body was going to disintegrate... Is that... the power of a Number monster...?"
"I end my turn! And now, Utopia's ATK Points return to normal!" Yuma yelled triumphantly.
Number 39: Utopia: 2500 ATK (OVL: 1)
"But it doesn't matter," Yuma chuckled. "Your monster's already gone." He pointed a finger directly at Shark. "And you're next, Shark! I'm defeating you and taking back every Deck you stole, plus that pendant of mine! Your time is up!"
"No..." groaned Shark, attempting to straighten before collapsing onto his knees. If that attack was so strong, and it didn't even reduce my Life Points to 0 yet, if my Life Points do reach 0, I could die!
Will Shark be able to survive Yuma's sudden surge-from-behind assault? If he loses, will he, as he suspects, indeed die? And why has Yuma suddenly grown competent? Sinister forces are at play here... Find out what's going on, next time, on Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL: Alternate Universe!
