Gilla LP: 4000

Number 58: Gear General: Machine-type/Xyz/EARTH/ATK 2700/DEF 2000 – 2 OLU

Spell & Trap Card Zone: 1 Set card

Darako LP: 4000

Number 69: Xine Berrejar Chimerah: Beast-type/Xyz/DARK/Rank 4/ATK 2500/DEF 1300 – 3 OLU

Darako breathed in deeply and exhale just as deep. He needed to calm down and focus on the duel, not on the injury he received from Gilla's critical kick. His arm moved up, and he wiped the blood onto his sleeve. Darako looked at the cards in his hand and knew the opposing Number was going down.

He spoke confidently, "I activate the Equip Card, Devil's Breath." Darako moved a card from his hand to his D-Pad. He gently placed it down. "This card allows me to take the difference between your Number and mine. Then, I double it, and my monster gains that power." A hole opened in the ground. It was pitch-black until (what was supposed to be) Satan came out. The demon gave off a red glow. He puffed his cheeks and then blew over the mix-matched monster.

Number 69: Xine Berrejar Chimerah: ATK 2900

"Now I'll set one card and end my turn." Darako wasn't planning on losing Life Points just so soon. He stood there with one card in his hand, predicting what Gilla's next move will.

"My turn again!" Gilla cheerily picked up another card. She seemed like a whole other person this turn compared to when she kicked Darako in the jaw. "I play the Field Spell, Master Workshop." As the card reached Gilla's D-Pad, the room turned into a gigantic workshop. There were benches with every tool imaginable on them. It was lit up by a sole candle, hung up on the wall. "A workshop can't run all by itself. It needs a master, so I can Special Summon Gear Master to my field from the Graveyard. Plus, it gives all my Gear monsters a nice 100 point boost for each Gear monster on my field." The master was back and ready to play some games. He was silver in skin as before, but this time he looked stronger. The general looked as if given an energy drink or steroids.

Gear Master: Machine-type/EARTH/Level 7/ATK 2800(due to Master Workshop)/DEF 1400

Number 58: Gear General: ATK 2900

"Now I Normal Summon Green Gadget. Now I put Red Gadget in my hand from due to its effect." A card slid partially out of the deck and the girl's sleek hand picked it up. A green mechanical man appeared on the field. The majority of the metal was green, but some of it, and the gear on its back, was silver.

Green Gadget: Machine-type/EARTH/Level 4/ATK 1400/DEF 600

"Now I use Double Summon to Normal Summon Red Gadget. Also, due to its effect, I can add Yellow Gadget to my hand." Again she elegantly picked up the card from her deck. At the same time, an identical machine to Green Gadget but with mostly red metal stood on the field but in a different pose.

Yellow Gadget: Machine-type/EARTH/Level 4/ATK 1300/DEF 1500

"I now overlay my two gadgets to form the Overlay Network to summon Terra Gear!" Gilla announced the arrival of her Xyz card with a booming voice that echoed throughout the chamber. A swirl formed on the ground, and two energy balls floated in the air both being the color orange. They quickly zoomed into the portal. "Arise my protector!" A gigantic warrior rose out of the red portal. It had metal armor pads everywhere. The monster carried a sword. It had a black screen covering its face, making its face hard to make out of the darkness.

Terra Gear: Machine-type/Xyz/EARTH/Rank 4/ATK 2000/DEF 2000 – 2 OLU

*Suki Mansion, 6:36 AM*

"Where is he!?" Dane yelled as loud as he could. He tore up the room around him looking for his newly acquainted friend. The door opened to show Dr. Lyre curious to the commotion coming from the room. The doctor looked at him. "He's gone Doctor! We have to find him! He might be in trouble!"

"Calm down, Dane. I'm sure Darako is somewhere close let's go for a walk and see if we can find him." He gestured to the door as if he were to say, lead the way. "I still don't know my way around this house after fourteen years of working here. What a shame," the doctor sighed. Dane walked with a little bit of speed, anxious to help his friend.

"C'mon Doctor! We don't have all day," Dane teased the older man with a bit of sternness. He rushed down the hall and took a few turns with Doctor Lyre and soon found their way to the eastern exit. "Here we're at the exit." The doctor opened the door and let Dane follow him.

It was a bit chilly outside but Dane didn't care; he wanted to find his new friend. The doctor soon pointed out some shoe prints and suggested to follow them out to where they lead. Dane agreed, and they started to walk. The shoeprints went down an old abandoned path that led to the shut down theatre.

"Doctor Lyre, do you think he went to the abandoned theatre?" Dane was starting to run down the path, not caring what the Doctor's answer was. The path seemed to go on forever. Dane could see the building from there; it wasn't that far away. As he got closer, he heard a yell that didn't fit Darako's voice. It was more girly but it was followed by insane, vile laughter. Oh no. It sounds like Darako's in trouble; better go check it out.

He finally reached the broken down theatre. The door was already wide open. Dane slowly walked through the doorway, feeling a bit of trepidation. Dane then heard Darako's voice, "Another Gear monster?"

An unknown voice called back in turn. "Yep. And you know what that means: all my monsters get a three hundred attack boost!"

Number 58: Gear General: ATK 3000

Gear Master: ATK 2900

Terra Gear: ATK 2300

Dane slipped his D-Gazer on to follow the occurring duel. He walked to where he could see the duel but still be well hidden. Darako was there, facing an unknown girl. The girl had three monsters out; two were Xyz monsters and the other an effect monster. One of the Xyz monsters was a Number! She also had a Set Spell or Trap card. On Darako's field, he already had out Number 69, also with a Set Spell or Trap.

"I can see you, boy," the girl declared loudly.

Dane pulled his head back. Was she saying that to me? How did she see me?

"C'mon out; I know you're there. Wait, no there's two of you. Both of you come." She was right. The Doctor just walked through the open door. The two hiding decided to do what she said. They walked out into the open. "Why are you here?" she asked.

"To find Darako," The Doctor said strongly, knowing Dane was too scared to talk.

"Well, if you're here to save him, you're a bit to late," she said with a cocky smirk. "I'm about to kick his ass to last weekend." She continued on with the duel. "Now, Number 58, attack Xine Berrejar Chimerah!" The mecha-super soldier leaped into the air and dived at the horrific beast. The mechanical warrior's forearm and hand turned into a drill.

"Hold on! I use my Number's effect to negate your attack and summon a monster from my deck." The chimera's lion head bit down on one of the circling Overlay Units. "I choose Xi-"

"Not on my watch you don't!" Gilla was fast enough to counter. "At any time when a monster's effect is activated, I can pay an Overlay Unit to negate the effect. Plus, you take 700 damage for each monster I control." She did the math quickly in her head. "If my math is right, you're through if these attacks go with out a challenge. Go Number 58, Drill Run!" The mecha-man continued to attack.

"You can negate that but you can't negate this! Waboku activate!" The face-down card flipped over. Three women dressed in light blue cloaks appeared on the field. They lightly hummed, and a yellow force field formed around Number 69.

"Alright, but you still take damage for my Number's effect," Gilla pouted whiled the drill shot off the warrior's arm and hit Darako dead on. Darako lay on the ground in pain. He slowly pulled himself up again.

Darako LP: 1900

"Oh yeah. Also, when damage is dealt to my opponent through an effect, I can activate Terra Gear's effect: you get 500 points of damage." The gigantic monster on Gilla's field smacked one of its Overlay Units. The monster's hand jetted off and knocked Darako down again.

Darako LP: 1400

"Well, I end my turn," the bipolar girl said cheerily. She smiled brightly. "Listen, Darako! There's no hope for you winning. Just give up now! This is your last stand. You have fallen short of your goal, and you will always fall, bowing down to me one day as your queen. You have fallen." The last word echoed throughout the theatre. Fallen… fallen… fallen…

Note #8: Wow! Now that I look back at it this chapter isn't half-bad. The truth is that I spread it out over time and it was a lot easier to write.

Note #9: Hey, hey! You, you! I was thinking of an idea when I was reading some of Vile( )'s stories introducing Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal: The Future, and then… I fell asleep. BUT, during my sleep I had a dream with some duels for some reason with some Negative Numbers. Vile if you read this please message me about this.

Note #10: Please leave a review. I would really appreciate it.
