0713MM: Heyllo guys! I welcome you to chapter 3 of my ZEXAL AU-with the Arclights!

Quattro: Finally!

Quinton: Someone was impatient.

Quattro: Heck yeah I was!

Trey: 0713MM doesn't own Yu-Gi-Oh ZEXAL. Only his OC's.

0713MM: Chapter start.

Chapter 3: Quattro vs. Jake

After the twosome drew their 5 cards for their starting hands, Jake pointed at Quattro.

"I think I'll allow you to go first." Jake smirked.

"Fine." retorted Quattro. Quattro put his right hand ontop of his deck, proceeding to draw his sixth card. "I draw!"

(Quattro's hand: 6 cards).

"I'll begin my turn by normal summoning Gimmick Puppet Des Troy." Quattro declared. He glanced at Jake, who was yawning. This made Quattro snarl, but alas, continued his turn.

(a machine-like horse emerged onto Quattro's field. Gimmick Puppet Des Troy, level 4, attack: 1200, defense: 2000. Quattro's hand: 5 cards). Quattro gave a smirk.

"I activate Des Troy's effect! By destroying it, I can special summon 2 more Gimmick Puppet monsters from my hand. So emerge, Gimmick Puppet Dreary Doll x2!" Quattro declared. Jake just stared at Quattro. He wasn't amused.

(a doll inside of a chest came onto the field. Dreary Doll, level 8, attack/defense: 0. Quattro's hand: 3 cards). Quattro gave a smirk as he lifted his hand up.

"I overlay my 2 Dreary Dolls in order to build the overlay network and Xyz summon Number 15: Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinder!" announced Quattro. Jake gave a smirk as the giant puppet wielder emerged onto the field.

So, that's one of your Numbers, eh Quattro? Jake thought with a smirk on his face. Quattro threw 2 cards into his spell/trap card zones of his mechanical arm D-Pad, silently ending his turn. Jake sneered at Quattro, which made Quattro growl lowly.

"How foolish." Jake taunted. "My move. Draw!"

(Jake's hand: 6 cards). Jake pulled two cards from his hand.

"Since you possess more monsters than me, I can special summon Evilswarm Mandragora twice!" Jake declared with evil glee in his voice. Quattro winced in shock.

(two dark, evil plant-like looking monsters emerged onto the field side-by-side. Evilswarm Mandragora, level 4, attack: 1550, defense: 1150. Jake's hand: 4 cards). Jake pulled another card from his hand.

"I now normal summon Evilswarm Castor from my hand. By doing that, I can normal summon another copy of itself from my hand." Jake continued.

(A dark, demonic-looking warrior emerged onto the field. Evilswarm Castor, level 4, attack: 1750, defense: 1450. Jake's hand: 2 cards). Jake lifted his hand up as well.

"I overlay my 4 level 4 monsters to build the overlay network and Xyz summon Evilswarm Dragon!" Jake laughed.

"No way!" Quattro gasped.

"Yes way!" Jake retorted with an evil laugh.

(The overlay network exploded a dark, black color, revealing the dark, and evil dragon. Evilswarm Dragon, rank 4, attack: 3050, defense: 2550. Xyz materials: 4). Quattro stepped back a bit.

"Whoa." he gasped. "So...strong!" Jake just laughed.

"Indeed." he sneered. "But, it'll become even stronger! I activate, Rank-Up-Magic Astral Force!" Quattro gasped in shock.

"What?! A Rank-Up-Magic card?!" Quattro stepped back in shock as the dark, evil dragon went into the overlay network again. The overlay network exploded a dark purplish-greenish-black.

"Arise, Number C5: Chaos Chimera Dragon!" Jake announced.

"A Ch-Chaos Num-Number?!" Quattro cried out in shock and surprise. "How?!"

(after the overlay network exploded, out came a dark, demonic dragon. Number C5: Chaos Chimera Dragon, rank 6, attack/defense: 0. Xyz materials: 5).

"First I should mention Quattro that Chaos Chimera Dragon gains 1000 attack for every chaos overlay unit that it has. Since it has 5, it gains 5000 attack." Jake explained. Quattro stepped back a bit fast, he tripped over his feet, staring at the chaotic dragon that loomed before him. Jake pulled one last card from his hand.

"I activate the spell, Big Bang Shot onto my dragon, giving not only 400 extra attack, but it can inflict piercing battle damage." Jake explained. Quattro gulped.

"This is going to hurt." Quattro muttered.

"Oh I'm counting on it! Attack!" Jake ordered. Chaos Chimera reeled back his chaotic head, then fired purple flames at Number 15, thus obliterating it.

"Giant Grinder, no!" Quattro cried out as his first Number began to melt, then it exploded. Jake began to laugh. However, when the smoke cleared, Quattro still stood firm. His 4000 LP hadn't moved at all. This surprised Jake immensely.

"Hey, you should've taken 2900 points of damage!" Jake complained. Quattro tried not to laugh at Jake's cockiness.

"Well, that would be the case, if I hadn't played Gimmick Box. This card activates whenever I'd take damage. Not only does this card special summon itself to my field, but it gains attack equal to the damage I would've taken. Which is 2900.

(Gimmick Box, level 8, attack: 2900, defense: 0). Jake just scoffed.

"Fine then. I activate my Dragon's effect! By detaching one overlay unit, I can make a second attack! Go Chaos Chimera, attack!" Jake commanded. Chaos Chimera Dragon did just that. Quattro released a groan as his trap monster was destroyed.

(Chaos Chimera's Xyz material: 5 - 1 = 4. Chaos Chimera's attack: 5400 - 1000 = 4400).

(Quattro's LP: 4000 - 1500 = 2500). Jake then ended his turn. However, Quattro had one more facedown.

"I activate the trap, Ring of Destruction! With this, I destroy Chaos Chimera Dragon to inflict 4400 points of damage to the both of us!" Quattro countered. However, Jake was prepared for this incident.

"I activate Evilswarm Dragon's effect from the graveyard!" Jake countered. "By banishing it, my Chaos Chimera loses 2 Xyz materials, meaning 2000 attack." Ring of Destruction then fully resolved, destroying the chaotic dragon. The explosion blew both of the backward a bit, but both of them managed to stay on their feet.

(Jake's LP: 4000 - 2400 = 1600).

(Quattro's LP: 2500 - 2400 = 100). Jake just laughed.

"Oh please!" Jake scoffed. "You can't win!" Quattro raised his head up, sweat was trickling down his face.

"Perhaps." Quattro replied calmly. "But I'm still going to fight!"

"No, you're not! I activate Evilswarm Dragon's 3rd effect! By banishing it, we both take damage equal to its attack. So, we both take 3050 points of damage!"

"Say what?!" Quattro gasped. With that done, Evilswarm Dragon came out of the banished zone and fired two black fireballs at Quattro and Jake.

(Jake's LP: 1600 - 1600 = 0. Quattro's LP: 100 - 100 = 0. DRAW). The AR then faded away shortly after. Jake and Quattro deactivated their D-Pads. Both turned to stare at each other. Quattro's expression was full of rage and disgust, while Jake's expression was filled with evil glee. Jake turned away from Quattro and began to walk away. Before he left, he said, "I'll see you in the World Duel Carnival, Quattro." And with that, he was gone. Quattro stood there for a few moments, stunned. He then realized something.

I have to tell Quinton about this! he thought. So with that, he ran as fast as he could back to his family's mansion.

0713MM: Hmm... I wonder what will happen next?
