Numbershot C13: True Love Shines Through All

Chapter 2

Yuma LP:4000

Kotori LP:4000

Distributor LP:4000

"Since we are Dueling with equal Life Points, my handicap shall be a double draw! I may draw two cards per round instead of one! Prepare to feel my true power… Watashi no turn! Draw!" The Distributor drew his cards. "Magic Card, Angel Baton, hatsudo! I can draw two cards in exchange for discarding one!" He discarded his card and drew two more. "Excellent. I'll drag you into chaos! Field Magic, Chaos Zone, hatsudo!" The dark field then changed into an area resembling a dark area of deep space, no sun in sight yet not pitch-black. The Duelists themselves were surrounded by a grid-like area that also served as their footing.

"W-Where are we?" Kotori asked.

"This field… It doesn't seem right!" Astral said.

"Now… every time a monster is banished, the field gains one Chaos Counter. But more on those later. Chaos Drifter, Shoukan!" His monster emerged as a metallic humanoid frame, with a dogu-like head and a transparent orb-shaped torso. Within the torso was a small galaxy.

Chaos Drifter: Lv.4 LIGHT/DARK (due to effect) Psychic ATK:1000/DEF:1000

"Chaos Drifter no kouka hatsudo! Once per turn, if Chaos Zone is active, I can place one Chaos Counter on it!" The torso opened up, and the galaxy left its case, moving out of the grid and enlarging before remaining in place.

Chaos Zone: 1 Chaos Counter

"My power will be seen soon enough. I place one card facedown. Turn end!" His facedown materialized.

"Ore no turn! Draw!" Yuma drew his card. "Achacha Archer, Shoukan!" His monster emerged as his familiar masked bow-wielder.

Achacha Archer: Lv.3 FIRE Warrior ATK:1200/DEF:600

"Achacha Archer no kouka hatsudo! When he is Summoned, you take 500 points of damage!" The warrior loaded up an arrow, the tip burning, before firing it, striking the Distributor in the chest.

"Geh!"

Distributor LP:3500

"Achacha Archer, attack Chaos Drifter!" The warrior loaded another arrow and fired it, this one crashing straight through the torso. The case was destroyed, causing the figure to topple apart and explode. The galaxy, however, remained.

Distributor LP:3300

"Rgh! Chaos Drifter no kouka hatsudo! When it leaves the field in any way, it is banished. And since a monster was banished, a Chaos Counter is added to Chaos Zone!" The galaxy floated outside the grip, growing larger.

Chaos Zone: 2 Chaos Counters

'These Chaos Counters are giving me a bad feeling.' Yuma thought. "I place one card facedown! Turn end!"

"Atashi no turn! Draw!" Kotori drew her card. "Amber Robin, Shoukan!" Her orange-jewel-headed bird emerged onto the field.

Amber Robin: Lv.4 EARTH Winged Beast ATK:1600/DEF:700

"You're wide open! Robin, attack him directly!" The bird cloaked itself in orange energy before charging forward.

"Hah! Trap Card, Dimensional Prison, hatsudo!" The Distributor's facedown flipped up, and a dimensional rift suddenly opened up. "Upon your attack, this card banishes your monster instantly!" The bird squeaked and immediately tried to slow down, but the rift sucked it in, vanishing after it did.

"Darn it!"

"And since another monster was banished, another Chaos Counter is added to the Field Spell!" Another galaxy formed, only it started outside of the grid.

Chaos Zone: 3 Chaos Counters

"And there's one more thing to note. Because of a certain monster in my Graveyard, sent there by Angel Baton, when a monster my opponent controls is banished, I can Special Summon this!" An odd creature appeared, looking like the primitive form of some other monster, having purple skin, white armor with purple spheres, a big head, and one eye. It was curled up in a defensive pose.

Eva Token: Lv.2 DARK Fiend/Token ATK:500/DEF:500

"What is that…?" Yuma wondered.

"It's an Eva Token. You see, while I have Zeta Reticulant in my Graveyard, which I do, I can Special Summon one each time one of your monsters is banished. So plan your moves carefully, or you might end up giving me Tribute fodder, ha ha."

Kotori flinched. "I place two cards facedown! Turn end!"

"Watashi no turn! Draw!" The Distributor drew his cards. "Magic Card, Chaos Flurry, hatsudo! This card lets me Special Summon one of my banished Level 4 or below LIGHT or DARK monsters with 1000 Attack Points or less! Then I can Special Summon any other copies of it from my Deck! I call forth my three Chaos Drifters!" The first dogu-headed monster emerged from a dimensional rift, quickly followed by two others.

Chaos Drifter x3: Lv.4 LIGHT/DARK (due to effect) Psychic ATK:1000/DEF:1000

"The downside of this is, none of them can attack, change battle positions, or be used for a Special Summon until they are banished again. But it doesn't matter. They are all banished during the End Phase, anyway. Chaos Drifter san tai de no kouka hatsudo! Three Chaos Counters are now added to the Chaos Zone!" The galaxies left their hosts and moved outside the grid, enlarging.

Chaos Zone: 6 Chaos Counters

"Magic Card, Rift Draw, activate! This card lets me banish any number of cards from my hand or Graveyard, up to 6, then draw new cards for each one. But I must banish my whole hand before I can even think of banishing any cards in my Graveyard. So the four cards in my hand shall bid us farewell, and I shall banish my Zeta Reticulant and Dimensional Prison!" The four cards in his hand and the two from his Graveyard were sucked into a dimensional rift. "And now I have the liberty of drawing six cards!" He drew the cards. "Oh, and let me inform you. Aside from Reticulant, three monsters were banished by Rift Draw, making four total, making four new Chaos Counters!" Four more galaxies formed outside the grid.

Chaos Zone: 10 Chaos Counters

"Jeez, how many Counters do you need?" Yuma cried.

"As many as I can take. Now then! Rift Rider no kouka hatsudo! If Rift Rider is ever stuck in the Banished Zone, I can Special Summon it to the field for one turn!" A small rift opened pointing upward, and a humanoid creature leapt out. It quickly stepped back on the rift and stood on it like a surfboard.

Rift Rider: Lv.1 LIGHT Fiend ATK:400/DEF:200

"But I'm afraid he won't stick around, as I can banish it immediately!" The fiend was absorbed into his own riftboard. "Soul Convoy, Tokushu Shoukan!" The rift grew much larger, and from it, a large white-wooded pirate ship floated in. It was old, having a creepy ripped sail, and multiple ghost-like entities floated around it.

Soul Convoy (TCG: Ghost Ship): Lv.5 LIGHT Fiend ATK:1900/DEF:1000

"And since I banished Rift Rider, another Counter is added!" Another galaxy formed outside the grid.

Chaos Zone: 11 Chaos Counters

"Normally I'd send something else after you, but I don't have any monsters in my hand that would require Tributes, and my field is full. But work with what you've got. "Soul Convoy, attack the girl directly! Final Voyage!" The spirits around the ship flew around in the sky before converging into a massive blue fireball that shot straight toward Kotori.

"Uh-oh!" She cried. "Yuma, I need help!" She glanced at Achacha Archer.

Yuma understood and nodded. "Do it, Kotori!"

Kotori nodded. "Trap Card, Kogekinesis, hatsudo! This lets me choose the attack target of your attack, as long as you don't control the new target! I change the target to Achacha Archer!" A blue aura suddenly covered the fireball and redirected it to the warrior. Achacha Archer gave Kotori a thumbs-up before it was incinerated. Yuma recoiled.

Yuma LP:3300

Kotori sighed. "Gomen, Yuma!"

"Don't worry about it, Kotori! I'd do anything to keep you safe!" Yuma replied, making Kotori smile and blush.

The Number Distributor watched the exchange, and he got an idea. 'Yes… that's the perfect way to break them…' "Not bad, twerps, but it won't do you much good. I place one card facedown! Turn end, which means my Chaos Drifters are banished once more, leaving their Chaos Counters behind!" The three dogus shattered and exploded, their galaxies moving to outside the grid.

Chaos Zone: 14 Chaos Counters

"Fourteen Chaos Counters… Just what is he up to?" Astral wondered. "Be careful, Yuma."

"I will, Astral." Yuma said. "Ore no turn! Draw!" He drew his card. "Gagaga Magician, Shoukan!" His signature Spellcaster-Type monster emerged onto the field.

Gagaga Magician: Lv.4 DARK Spellcaster ATK:1500/DEF:1000

"Pyubyu Dragon no kouka hatsudo! If I control a Level 4 monster, I can Normal Summon it instantly!" A blue blur began zipping around in the air, and then it landed, revealing itself to be a small blue dragon with a streamlined body and wings.

Pyubyu Dragon: Lv.4 WIND Dragon ATK:1200/DEF:300

"Two Level 4 monsters?" The Distributor mused.

"Kattobingu daze, ore!" Yuma shouted.

The Distributor mentally grinned. 'Yes… it's all going according to plan. Summon it, Yuma… Summon it and watch it be your downfall!'
