Last time on Yugioh Zexal!
"You're right Astral! Get Ready Hunter! I Draw!"Yuma declared as he drew his next card.
Yuma:6 cards in hand.
"First I play the Spell Card Stop Attack! With this Spell,your dragon is gonna take a knee because this card forces Stardust into defense mode!"The card let out a bright light,forcing Stardust onto his knee as he was forced into defense mode.
Stardust Dragon-Def:2000
"I now summon Zubaba Knight in attack mode!"The small but muscular knight with two sharp daggers appeared on the battlefield with a battle cry of,"ZUBABA KNIGHT!"(Lv.3 Atk.1600 Def.900)
"And what do you hope to accomplish with that little Knight?"Hunter asked with a faint smirk.
"I'll show you! Zubaba Knight! Attack Stardust Dragon!"Zubaba charged toward Stardust,preparing it's daggers to slice through him.
"In case you're bad at math,your Zubaba Knight only has 1600 attack points,while my Stardust has 2000 defense 're basically dealing yourself damage."Hunter said,until he noticed something different about Yuma's facial looked pretty confident.
"I activate Zubaba Knights special ability! When he attacks a monster in face-up defense mode,that monster is automatically destroyed!"Zubaba continued with it's attack,slicing straight through Stardust,destroying it completely.
"Well thought out took the effect of your spell knowing full well Zubaba Knight can destroy any monster in defense with it's special seems you put a lot of thought into this move."Astral said with a small smile crossing his features.
"I learn from the best!"Yuma said with a large smile,until he noticed something was had a large smirk on his face."What's so funny?"Yuma asked with a raised eyebrow.
"By destroying Stardust,you've triggered my facedown! It's called Synchro Reborn!"The once facedown trap card flipped faceup with a white glow."If you destroy a Synchro monster of mine by battle,as long as the monsters that were used to summon him are still in the graveyard,I can banish them to have Stardust come back once again! Arise! Stardust Dragon!"The large white dragon came out of the purple graveyard portal with a loud roar.(Lv.8 Atk.2500 Def.2000)
"Oh come on! I tried so hard to get rid of that thing only for it to come back?!"Yuma yelled in disbelief.
"If that's what trying your hardest is then I honestly can't say I expect better from you from this point on."Hunter said with a chuckle.
"Damn...this guy is gonna be more trouble than I expected.I throw two cards facedown and end my turn!"The two cards materialized in front of Yuma.
Yuma:2 cards in hand
'Shark...I hope you're having better luck than I am right now…'
Scene change…
"It's my turn! I draw!"Kai yelled as he drew his next card.
Kai:4 cards in hand.
"And it's time for Silent Honour's fall!"Shark interrupted,a look of confusion appearing on Kai's face.
"From my hand,I play the Quick-Play Spell Zero Degree Freeze!"When the card was played,a sudden chill blew through the air."For this turn only,all your faceup cards lose their effects!"Shark explained as the cold air froze both Silent Honour and Damage Gateway.
Shark:1 card in hand.
"So what? I don't need Shark Knight's ability this turn to take out Black Ray Lancer."Kai said,but before he could continue his move,Shark interrupted once more.
"I now play my Trap Card,Overlay Distrust!"The trap card flipped faceup in front of Shark."If you have an Xyz monster with no overlay units,it gets destroyed and you then take damage equal to it's attack points! And with Damage Gateway frozen this turn,you got nothing to absorb the damage!"The trap had frozen Shark Knight completely,destroying it,making it scatter into pieces as Kai was sent flying back from the explosion.
Kai:5400-2800=2600
"Oh yeah! You get him Shark!"Sakuya cheered.
"How did that feel Stekel's? Your ace is gone and you got nothing to protect you during my turn!"Shark was confident that he had brought down Kai's ace. But something seemed a bit off. Kai had an almost to confident smirk on his face.
"You think I've showed you my ace? I haven't even come close to being done!"Kai's hand glowed an eerie purple just as he placed a hand on one of his cards,his Duel Gazer had started to ring.'Of all times Faker chooses to interrupt my duel,he chooses to do it now.'Kai thought with a low growl as he answered the call."What do you need this time Faker?"There was a silence in the air."Ugh...fine,be right there."Kai said as he ended the call."It's your lucky day Shark! We'll continue this another time!"Kai deactivated his Duel disk and took off,much to the annoyance of Shark,who didn't give chase.
" a coward,running off before the duel is even finished."Shark muttered under his breath,until he was approached by Sakuya and Girag,which made him notice something off. He swore he heard Yuma's voice,so why wasn't he here? "Wasn't Yuma with you guys?"Shark asked them with a raised eyebrow.
Sakuya looked to her left,only to see that Yuma was gone,along with Alito. But before she could say anything,a huge explosion was heard,shaking the ground slightly.
"Please tell me I'm not the only one who felt that?"Girag asked with a bit of a nervous tone.
"Something tells me that where we find the source of that explosion,we find where Yuma went."Shark ran towards the source of the explosion,followed by Girag and Sakuya.
With Hunter,Yuma and Alito…
"Red Dragon Archfiend! Destroy Yuma's Utopia and end this duel! Go Absolute Powerforce!"Red Dragon had charged up a burst of fire in his mouth and fired it's towards Utopia.
"Yuma! Your trap card!"Astral quickly reminded him,sparking something in Yuma's mind.
"Oh right! I play my facedown! Half-Unbreak!"A shield of bubble's had shielded Utopia."This trap protects Utopia from destruction,and any damage I take is now cut in half!"Even though Utopia had been protected,the blast still sent Yuma flying.
Yuma:300-250=50
"Oh no! Yuma!"Alito yelled in worry.
Yuma almost struggled to get up,but he managed to do it either way.'Damn it...I was able to shield Utopia,but I'm down to only 50 hit and I'm completely finished!'Yuma thought,his hand almost starting to shake. He had barely managed to make a dent in Hunter's life points,and the difference between their points was huge.
Hunter:2500
Yuma:50
"Yuma,do not panic."Astral said with that usual emotionless tone of his,grabbing Yuma's attention.
"Huh?"He asked,his hand stopping it's shaking.
"Even in the most darkest of times,there will always be a ray of hope to guide you through."Just as Astral spoke those words,Yuma's Extra Deck had begun to shine,Yuma pulling out the new the card had finished glowing,Yuma read to himself the name of the new card.
"Number C39:Utopia Ray…"
"Yuma...you know what to do now."Astral said with a small smirk on his face.
"Right! My turn Hunter! I…"Yuma placed two fingers on the top of his next card.'Dad...I know you're there to guide me.'Yuma thought with a small smile."Draw!"
Yuma:1 card in hand
Yuma's smile soon turned into a big grin."Hm? What are you grinning about?"Hunter asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Oh,I'll show you! I activate the spell from my hand! Xyz Quick Back-up!"Just as the card was played,a bright light surrounded Utopia."I can banish two monsters with the same level from my graveyard,and till the end of this turn,Utopia can use them as overlay units!"A light shined in Yuma's grave,the lights soon turning into overlay units as they floated around Utopia.
Utopia:2 overlay units.
"So what? You managed to get back two overlay units,but what use are they gonna be to Utopia?"Hunter asked,his eyebrow still raised.
"I'll show you now Hunter! Get Ready Utopia!"Yuma's hand was surrounded in a bright yellow glow."Go Chaos Xyz Evolution!"Yuma and Astral yelled at the same time,as Utopia disappeared into the overlay network."By using Utopia as an overlay unit,I can create a new monster! A monster that shines a ray of hope for everyone who see's it! Appear! Number C39:Utopia Ray!"A warrior in a dark grey armor emerged onto the 's shoulder blades were gold and the number 39 on it's shoulder gave off a bright glow,along with both of it's swords.(Rank 4 Atk.2500 Def.2000 OLU:3)
"So what? You busted out a new monster,but it makes no difference! Red Dragon is still stronger than Utopia Ray!"Hunter yelled as his fist clenched.
"You say that now,but just wait and see! I'm using Utopia Ray's special ability! If I have less than 1000 life points,I can use an overlay unit! It takes 1000 attack points from Red Dragon Archfiend,and gives Ray an extra 500 for each one used! But why stop at one when I can use three! Go Utopia Ray! Overlay Charge!"All three of Ray's overlay units disappeared into it's sword,charging it's power while Archfiend's decreased.
Utopia Ray:4000 Attack Points
Red Dragon Archfiend:0 Attack Points
Hunter's eyes grew wide with surprise and shock."My dragon has no attack points now!"He yelled in disbelief.
"Go Utopia Ray! Rising Sun Chaos Slash!"Utopia combined both of its swords together to create one huge sword,which gave off a bright sliced its sword straight through Red Dragon,creating a huge explosion which sent Hunter his life points hit zero,he landed on the ground with a thud.
Hunter:0
Yuma:Winner!
"I...I did it…"Yuma's face soon had a large grin on it."Oh yeah!"He cheered."I was totally feeling the flow!"Yuma's cheering was cut short as Hunter approached him.
"I'm...really sorry Yuma. I never meant to attack you like ,Number 10 is your's."Hunter said as he placed Number 10 in Yuma's hand,along with Stardust Dragon.
"Huh? But this is your card Hunter."Yuma said with a confused look.
"I don't deserve it after what I did.A true duelist never attacks someone like that.I guess I was too blinded by power to realize that-"Hunter was cut off by Yuma placing Stardust back in his hand.
"No duelist deserves to have their card is yours to keep Hunter."Yuma smiled,a bright smile making it's way onto Hunter's face,until a sudden voice cut them off.
"We're you seriously thinking of giving me away Hunter?!"
"Alito...did you say that?"Yuma asked,only to get a head shake from Alito.
"It was me you nitwit!"A spirit version of Stardust had appeared right next to Hunter.
"Stardust! What did I tell you about calling people names?"Hunter scolded him.
"Excuse me! You have no room to talk Hunter! You were thinking of giving me away! And you're putting me on trail?!"The argument between the two continued as Alito and Yuma continued to stare at them both in shock.
"This is...new."Alito said as he rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things.
"Yuma! Alito!"Yuma and Alito turned their attention towards Sakuya,Shark and Alito running towards them.
"Where were you two?! You had us worried sick!"Sakuya scolded them,until her attention was brought on Hunter."Huh? Who is this guy Yuma?"She asked him.
"O-Oh this is ,this is Shark,Girag,Sakuya and are all my great friends!"Yuma smiled.
"It's very nice to meet you all."Hunter gave a small bow.
"Hey Hunter! You should totally hang out with us!"Yuma said suddenly as he grabbed Hunter's arm and ran off without the others.
"I sometimes question the people you meet Hunter."Stardust said with a small sweatdrop.
"Oh shut it lizard breath."
At 10:00 P.M….
Kai had finally arrived in Faker's lab,only to see the scientist sitting in his chair."You interrupted me in the middle of an important duel Faker. You better have a damn good explanation."Kai growled at absolutely hated Faker with a passion and wanted to personally tear him limb from limb for his own personal reasons.
"Now,now...don't be testy Kai.I have someone I'd like you to ! You may now enter!"After Faker had said this,the blonde haired teen walked through the door on the opposite end of the room.
"Who is this supposed to be Faker?"Kai asked the blonde scientist.
"Kai,I'd like you to meet me son ,this is your new partner,Kai."Faker said with a hint of a smirk on his face.
"You cannot possibly expect me to work with someone who is related to you Faker!"Kai yelled in anger.
"Oh please,like it's any better for me! I don't need another Number Hunter! I'm perfectly fine on my own!"Kite growled.
"Now,now,let's not be too hasty is always more than one way to settle this."Faker's large smirk was the only thing the duo needed to understand what he meant.
"Fine! I'll take him on,no problem!"Kai said as he readied his duel disk.
"Orbital!"Kite yelled.
"Y-Y-Yes sir!"Orbital beeped,as he shot some kind of crescent shape into the air.
"Go Photon Transformation!"Kite's outfit glowed brightly,the light dimming down as his outfit changed once gray coat turned white,while the inner coat remained blue.
"Duel Disk Set!"The crescent shaped Duel Disk attached onto Kite's arm,soon expanding as it did.
"Duel Gazer set!"Instead of a Duel Gazer,a blue tatoo appeared over Kite's left eye.
"Let's duel!"
Kai:4000
Kite:4000
Both have 5 cards in hand!
Elsewhere,on the highway…
Sakuya had arrived at 10,just like the message said.'They said meet them here at 10:00,and their a no-show…'Sakuya thought with a bit of annoyance,until a sudden voice brought her out of her thoughts.
"Glad you came alone Sakuya."Out of the shadows,a teen with blond and red hair a white,gold-trimmed coat,had walked out from behind a building,followed by a boy who looked younger than him with pink curly hair,and a coat similar to the first boy only a slightly dark shade of pink.
"Alright,start of all,who are you two? Second,what do you two want from me?"Sakuya asked as she placed a hand on her deck just in case she had to pull it out quickly.
"I suppose introductions are an name Is Quattro my little brother here is Trey Arclight."Quattro said as the pink haired teen gave a polite bow.
"It's very nice to meet you Sakuya."Trey said with a smile.
"Ok,that answers my first onto my second question."Sakuya said a bit demandingly.
"Oh? That's very simple. What I want…"Quattro held his hand up,some weird symbol appearing on his hand when he 's what made Sakuya start to panic.
"Hold it right there you two!"A sudden voice interrupted them as someone had landed in front of person turned out to be none other than Jake.
"Grrr...why do you always have to get in the way Jake?!"Quattro yelled in anger,the calmness leaving him completely.
"Hey! Aren't you the guy who attacked Bronk?"Sakuya asked him.
"Look,we can talk about that later! For now,you have to get out of here!"Jake said to her,only to get an impatient look on Quattro's face.
"In case you haven't notice Tenjo,we are in the middle of a conversation! No matters,me and Trey will just take you out by ourselves!"Quattro said with an almost cruel smirk.
"He isn't dueling alone!"Sakuya interrupted as she pulled out her deck.
"Fine! We'll take you both on! Trey! Get Ready!"It almost sounded like an animalistic growl when he said it.
"R-right!"Trey said,his hand shaking slightly.
"Duel Disk set!"All four duelists activated their duel disks.
"Duel Gazer set!"Instead of a duel gazer,a tatto had appeared over Jake,Quattro,and Trey's left eye.
"Let's duel!"
Jake:4000
Sakuya:4000
Quattro:4000
Trey:4000
Yikes! Kai taking on Kite! Sakuya teaming up with Jake to take on Quattro and Trey! How will all this end? Find out in the next chapter! Until next time,this is RedSniperTail Signing out!
