Vile: Here's Chapter 4, and I think I should let you guys know this: I've actually been writing these chapters out beforehand, not simply posting as they've been finished. If I did it as I finished them, this story would be done already. Yeah, I'm out of words and no one's around, so I might as well stop B.S.-ing you guys. Enjoy!


Triple Numbershot 21, 75, & 60: Trounce The Terrible Trio!

Chapter 4

Yamoto and Shirotora just stood there for a moment, their eyes locked unflinchingly. The tension was able to be cut with a knife. "I honestly didn't expect you to come back, Kazamuki-baka. I thought my dragon fire made you learn your lesson." Shirotora mused.

"There was no way I was going to let you get away with this, Shirotora." Yamoto said in a low voice. "What motivates you, someone who was nothing more than a nuisance and content with that fact, to stoop to something as low as this?"

Shirotora chuckled. "I guess you could call this… our revenge."

"Revenge? What did this school do to you?"

"An upstart like yourself wouldn't understand it. People like me, Aokarasu, and Akahebi are the only thing that keeps these schools from being completely humdrum." Shirotora said coolly. "But you take our fun and make rules against it. We decided not to bend over and take it anymore."

Yamoto had a look of pure disbelief on his face. "…That is the absolute dumbest reason for anything I have ever heard!"

"Yeah, I know! I just made it up for dramatic effect!" Shirotora said, laughing. "Nah, you had us pegged, Kazamuki: We're selfish, troublemaking brats, but you know what? When people like us get power, we do whatever the hell we want with it!" A white glow appeared on his neck, and he pulled out his snake coin. "Honorable snake, grant me stealth!" Shirotora suddenly vanished.

'Oh, no you don't…' Yamoto thought, his eyes glowing. His vision turned to Dark Vision, and he could see Shirotora's purple aura come at him. "Hrah!" Yamoto grabbed Shirotora's upcoming punch and slammed his face with his open palm, knocking him back.

Shirotora's invisibility faded, revealing him. "How did you-?"

"I know better now than to underestimate you. Don't you underestimate me." Yamoto told him.

"Is that so?" Shirotora put away his snake coin and brought out his tiger coin. "Honorable tiger, let us double up!" The white-haired boy suddenly split in two and rushed at Yamoto, but Yamoto grabbed one of them and slammed him into the other, knocking them both down before they returned to one. "Damn you… I guess you need a burn on your chest to match your back!" He fished out his dragon coin. "Honorable dragon…" He stood straight up and turned around, palm out. "Burn my-!" He was cut off by a spray of odd foam, preventing him from using his fire attack.

Yamoto was holding a fire extinguisher, which he had pulled off the wall. "Not this time, Shirotora."

Shirotora growled. "Kuso… Your powers are even more annoying than mine." He mused. "I'll just have to get rid of them, then…" He pulled out his D-Pad. "…and I'll do it by taking your Numbers!"

'Just what I hoped for.' Yamoto thought. "I'll slash that Number out of you as punishment for all you've done!"

"Duel Disk, set!" Takashi, Cathy, Shirotora, Aokarasu, and Akahebi placed their D-Pads on their wrists and activated them while Yamoto formed his D-Pad from darkness, the trio's D-Pads matching their names (white, blue, red). "D-Gazer, set!" All five standard D-Gazers were placed over their users' eyes, Cathy having to place Shark's Gazer on his eye for him, while Yamoto's D-Gazer appeared from darkness.

"AR VISION, LINK ESTABLISHED." All seven D-Gazers flashed. "ESTABLISHING LINK BETWEEN A AND B." The area warped into the Augmented Reality.

"DUEL!"

All six players LP:4000

*Takashi vs. Akahebi*

"Boku no turn! Draw!" Takashi drew his card. "Strikebug X, Shoukan!" His monster was a blocky-style monster with a blue body, a large red "X" printed on its body, and two large fists.

Strikebug X: Lv.3 EARTH Machine ATK:2200/DEF:0

"Kaado ichi mai settei! Turn end!" Takashi's facedown emerged.

"Ore no turn. Draw!" Akahebi drew his card. "Terrapeddler, Shoukan!" His monster emerged as a short, fat, bipedal turtle-like creature with dark green scaly skin and a brown shell, but the creature was wearing a tan trenchcoat of sorts that came to its feet (covering its tail) and a tan fedora. The terrapin gave a sick smirk with its beaked face.

Terrapeddler: Lv.4 DARK Reptile ATK:200/DEF:2000

"Terrapeddler no kouka hatsudo. Once per turn, by paying 500 Life Points, I can place a Contraband Counter on any monster on the field." Terrapeddler opened his coat and pulled out what looked a small white bag, throwing it to Strikebug X. Strikebug X looked at the bag in confusion.

Akahebi LP:3500

Strikebug X: 1 Contraband Counter

"Contraband Counter?" Takashi wondered.

"When you step to our streets… you'd better learn our rules! Field Magic, Reptile Alley, hatsudo!" The area around them morphed into what looked like a back alley in a big city, with a dumpster near them and graffiti on the walls of various reptiles. "This is the home of the monsters who make up my Deck: The Slum Reptiles. Whenever a Reptile-Type monster is Summoned, I can place a Contraband Counter on any monster on the field." He picked another card from his hand. "Komodo Kopper no kouka hatsudo! By destroying a monster on the field with a Contraband Counter, I can Special Summon it from my hand!" All of a sudden, a loud, distorted whistle was heard. Strikebug X looked up and freaked out before something landed square on its head, demolishing it. The being stood up, revealing itself to be some sort of bipedal komodo dragon, decked out in a blue policeman's uniform, but wearing a grin on its face. "Reptile Alley no kouka hatsudo. Komodo Kopper gains 1 Contraband Counter!" The policeman looked down and spied the white bag left behind, smirking before picking it up and jumping over to Akahebi's field.

Komodo Kopper: Lv.6 EARTH Reptile ATK:2300/DEF:1600

Takashi grunted. "Strikebug Y no kouka hatsudo! Since Strikebug X was destroyed, I can Special Summon it from my Deck in Defense Mode!" A new blocky-style monster appeared, having a purple body and throwing up a large shield with a "Y" emblazoned on it.

Strikebug Y: Lv.3 EARTH Machine ATK:0/DEF:2000

"Throw up any defense you want, Todoroki-baka. I can knock them down easily. Komodo Kopper, attack Strikebug Y!" The corrupt cop rushed forward while pulling out a nightstick, and right as he got to Y, the nightstick grew into a huge club, which it used to bash Strikebug Y into the ground and destroying it. "And just for good measure, Terrapeddler, attack Todoroki directly!" Reaching into his coat, the terrapin took over what looked like a small red bag, flashing a toothy grin (despite being, y'know, a reptile).

"Trap Card, Bug Link, hatsudo! This lets me re-Summon Strikebug X from my Graveyard!" His big-fisted blocky monster emerged. "Then I can add Strikebug Z to my hand!" The card slid out from his Deck, which he grabbed.

Terrapeddler started to sweat, realizing he was up against a 2200 ATK monster. "Good think we have replays. The attack is off!" Terrapeddler sighed, putting away the red package. "I should've known you'd be stubborn. Kaado ichi mai settei! Turn end!" Akakebi's facedown emerged.

"Boku no turn! Draw!" Takashi drew his card. "Magic Card, Shisha Sosei (Monster Reborn), hatsudo! Strikebug Y, Tokushu Shoukan!" His shield-toting monster re-emerged from a purple portal. "Strikebug Z, Shoukan!" A new blocky-style monster emerged, having a gray body designed like it was wearing a neckerchief, a large "Z" emblazoned on the chest, and it was carrying two blocky-style weapons similar to revolvers. "When I control X and Y, Strikebug Z's Attack Points become 2500!"

Strikebug Z: Lv.3 EARTH Machine ATK:2500(originally 0)/DEF:0

"Boku wa Reberu San no Strikebug X, Y, Z, Obarei!" All three of his monsters turned fully orange and shot into the air in a spiral. A red spiral portal opened up, and all three monsters sailed inside. "San tai no monsuta de, Obarei Netwaaku kochiku! Ekushiizu Shoukan!" A spiked ball on a chain was suddenly being swung around. "This is my true ace monster! Arawareyo… Super Strikebug!" The chain was held by a huge blocky-armored warrior with black, pink, and green armor, but the striking thing was that there was no head, only an empty socket with no neck. Then, the spiked ball landed on the empty neck socket, revealing a face on it in red: It was the head. Three orange Overlay Units circled it.

Super Strikebug: Rank 3 EARTH Machine/Xyz ATK:3000/DEF:0 3 Overlay Units

"Ngh… not this thing…" Akahebi groaned.

"Super Strikebug, attack Terrapeddler!" Super Strikebug began swinging around its spike ball head rapidly before launching it forward, a purple aura surrounding it.

"Trap, hatsudo! Snakeskin Blitz!" When his facedown flipped up, three pairs of eyes lit up from the shadows. "For each Contraband Counter on the field, I can Special Summon 1 copy of The Snakeskinz from my Deck!" A creature leapt out of the shadows. It had the head of a snake, but its body was bipedal and dressed in thugged-out clothes with a gold chain around its neck.

The Snakeskinz: Lv.3 EARTH Reptile ATK:1100/DEF:1100 (Defense Mode)

"The Snakeskinz is the only Reptile-Type monster you can attack so long as it is face-up on the field!" The gangster snake leapt in front of Terrapeddler and threw up a gang sign right before it was smashed by Super Strikebug's head, obliterating it.

Takashi groaned. 'He's a better Duelist than I thought… If I don't watch myself, I'm doomed!' "Kaado ichi mai settei! Turn end!"

"Ore no turn. Draw!" Akahebi drew his card. "Not a bad monster, Todoroki… but I'm afraid he doesn't belong in Reptile Alley!" He ended his sentence with a laugh that unnerved Takashi.

*Cathy vs. Aokarasu*

"Ore no turn! Draw, geegee!" Aokarasu drew his card. "Golden Beetle, Shoukan!" His monster emerged as a Hercules beetle with a completely gold-plated body.

Golden Beetle: Lv.3 LIGHT Insect ATK:1000/DEF:1200

"Field Magic, Crumbling Mansion, hatsudo!" The field morphed into the inside of an extravagant, yet deserted mansion.

However, a large rock suddenly fell from the ceiling near Shark. "Gwaah!" He cried as he dodged.

"Geeheeheehee. You'll learn what my Field Magic can do soon enough. Kaado ichi mai settei! Turn end!"

"Watashi no turn. Draw!" Cathy drew her card. "Continuous Magic, Cat Rally, hatsudo! Once per turn, I can Special Summon a Level 3 or below Cat monster when a Cat monster is Special Summoned." She picked another card from her hand. "Razor Cat, Shoukan!" Her monster appeared as a gray cat with long bladed claws and sharp teeth. "Cat Rally no kouka hatsudo! Stray Cat, Tokushu Shoukan!" A simple black cat appeared with its back to Aokarasu, wagging its tail.

Razor Cat: Lv.4 EARTH Beast ATK:800/DEF:1000

Stray Cat: Lv.1 EARTH Beast ATK:100/DEF:300

"Geeheeheehee. Just a couple of cute kitty cats." Aokarasu giggled.

"They're good enough to beat your bug! When Razor Cat attacks, it gains 500 Attack Points! Razor Cat, attack Golden Beetle!" The cat leapt forward with a vicious meow, its claws gleaming.

Razor Cat ATK:1300

However, the mansion began to shake. "Crumbling Mansion no kouka hatsudo! When a monster attacks, the turn player must choose one monster they control and destroy it! No exceptions, geegee!"

Cathy groaned. "I destroy Stray Cat!" A large rock fell from the ceiling, crushing Stray Cat and destroying it. "Razor Cat, continue your attack!"

"Trap Card, Maelstrom Hole, hatsudo!" All of a sudden, a massive whirlpool somehow opened up in the ground, sucking Razor Cat in. "Maelstrom Hole negates your attack and banishes your monster until the End Phase!" The bladed cat was fully pulled into the whirlpool, it and the whirlpool vanishing.

"Kuso… Kaado ichi mai settei! Turn end!" Cathy's facedown emerged. When she did, the whirlpool returned, throwing Razor Cat back onto Cathy's field. Soaked, Razor Cat coughed up water and shook its wet fur.

Razor Cat ATK:800

"Ore no turn! Draw, geegee!" Aokarasu drew his card. "I release Golden Beetle, which can be released as 2 monsters for a Level 7 monster!" The beetle dissipated into gold particles, which combined and opened up a portal. "Razorgutan, Adobansu Shoukan!" His monster emerged as a rabid orangutan, but its arms from the elbow down were replaced by barber's razors, which were very sharp.

Razorgutan: Lv.7 DARK Beast ATK:2300/DEF:2100

"That doesn't look friendly..." Shark breathed.

"Razorgutan, attack Razor Cat!" The orangutan charged forward, flailing its bladed arms wildly. However, the mansion started to crumble. "Crumbling Mansion no kouka hatsudo! However, Razorgutan can't be destroyed by card effects during the Battle Phase!" A large rock fell, but Razorgutan merely sliced it in half as it flailed its arms.

"Razor Cat no kouka hatsudo! When it's attacked, the attacking monster loses 500 Attack Points during the Damage Step!" Razor Cat bared its claws as the primate brought its arms down on it. The clash of blades lessened the impact, but the orangutan cleaved through the cat and obliterated it.

Cathy LP:3000

"Geeheeheehee… Not bad. But you have no idea of the mystique that remains in my Deck. Continuous Magic, Road to El Dorado, hatsudo! From now on, during my Draw Phases, by discarding a card, I can draw twice, geegee! Turn end!" Aokarasu sported an eerie smile. "Come, Noroyama… Approach me in the depths of madness! Geeheeheeheeheeheeheehee!" Cathy was very unnerved.

*Yamoto vs. Shirotora*

"Watashi no turn! Draw!" Yamoto drew his card. "Verz Castor, Shoukan!" His monster appeared as an odd humanoid warrior with dark armor, a tattered reddish cape, a zombified stance, a plate with the Verz symbol emblazoned on it attached to the hip, and holding a sword with two thin blades.

Verz Castor: Lv.4 DARK Warrior ATK:1750/DEF:850

"Verz Castor no kouka hatsudo! When it is Normal Summoned, I can Normal Summon another Verz monster from my hand! Verz Heliolope, Shoukan!" His second monster was also humanoid, but this one had dank green armor in addition to some black armor, and it carried a short crystalline sword.

Verz Heliolope: Lv.4 DARK Rock ATK:1950/DEF:650

"Watashi wa, Reberu Yon no Castor to Heliolope de Obarei!" Both of Yamoto's monsters turned fully purple before shooting into the air in a spiral. A red spiral portal opened up, and both his monsters sailed inside. "Ni tai no monsuta de, Obarei Netwaaku kochiku! Ekushiizu Shoukan!" Darkness billowed out from the portal. "Ideyo… Verz Ophion!" The darkness converged and gave itself its new form: A quadrupedal black dragon with odd icy crystals on its body that seemed to be connected to its body and wings by fire, and a whip-like tail with a speared end. Two purple Overlay Units orbited it.

Verz Ophion: Rank 4 DARK Dragon/Xyz ATK:2550/DEF:1650 2 Overlay Units

"An Xyz Summon this early, eh? You must really not be pulling any punches." Shirotora mused.

"It's not an option with dealing with people like you." Yamoto said with slight anger. "Kaado ichi mai settei. Turn end!"

"So, you're actually angry. That's a first for me. Ore no turn! Draw!" Shirotora drew his card. "I know how Verz Ophion works. Since it has Overlay Units, neither player can Special Summon Level 5 or higher monsters. Then again… I don't Special Summon my high-Levels. Magic Card, Start of the Cycle, hatsudo! Since I control no monsters, I can Special Summon 2 Talisman Tokens in Defense Mode!" Two octagonal gray rocks emerged, both being blank.

Talisman Token x2: Lv.4 EARTH Rock ATK:0/DEF:0

"Continuous Magic, Zodiac Cycle, hatsudo!" The visual of the 12 Talismans emerged behind Shirotora, and the Sheep was currently highlighted. "Now I release both of my Talisman Tokens! Adobansu Shoukan!" The two octagonal stones merged into one stone, and cyan carvings appeared on the stone in the form of a sheep. Then, the carvings glowed brightly, causing a bright flash of light. "Noble animal eighth in line, work with your own spirit to achieve victory!" The light died down, revealing a bipedal cyan ram-like creature, with large yellow horns, white wool (albeit only on its arms, legs, and head, the last of these simulating hair), silver hooves, and armor that was white with dark blue trim. "Zodiac Ram – Gong Yang!" A red "8" was emblazoned on its stomach, and the Sheep Talisman was embedded in its forehead. The ram let out a loud, low bleat.

Zodiac Ram – Gong Yang: Lv.8 EARTH Beast ATK:2700/DEF:2000

"Witness my true power, Kazamuki! Gong Yang no kouka hatsudo! During the turn it was Normal Summoned, I can switch it to Defense Mode… to take control of one of your monsters until the End Phase!" The Talisman on the ram's forehead had its carvings glow, then the ram itself slumped over. Its body flashed, and an astral image of the monster emerged from its body, its eyes glowing. "Astral Possession!" The image of Gong Yang flew straight toward Ophion and inhabited its body, causing the dragon to struggle.

However, Yamoto was ready for this. "Trap, hatsudo! Infestation Stage Yellow, hatsudo! As I control a Verz monster, the effect of your Level 5 or higher monster is negated!" Ophion's eyes flashed before it extended its wings, the ice on them turning black before firing streams of Verz energy. The energy struck Gong Yang's image, causing it to struggle and choke before moving back into its body, making Gong Yang wake up and stand back up, the energy dissipating when it did.

"Clever, aren't you? Oh well. Since the effect was negated, my ram can still attack! Gong Yang, attack Verz Ophion!" With a loud bleat, the ram charged forward with its horns sticking out. "Astral… Charge!" Cyan energy coating its horns, Gong Yang slammed headfirst into Ophion, knocking it clean into the AR wall and destroying it.

Yamoto LP:3850

"Kaado ichi mai settei! Turn end!" Shirotora's facedown emerged.

"Watashi no turn! Draw!" Yamoto drew his card. "Yosh! Verz Kerykeion, Shoukan!" His second monster was also humanoid, but it had shining gold armor in addition to largely black armor, horns on its helmet and shoulders, crystal wings on its back, two staves (one with a mirror, one being a Rod of Caduceus), and three orange orbs orbiting it.

Verz Kerykeion: Lv.4 DARK Spellcaster ATK:1600/DEF:1550

"Verz Kerykeion no kouka hatsudo! Once per turn, by banishing a Verz monster from my Graveyard, I can add a different Verz monster from my hand!" Kerykeion held up its staves, creating two purple portals. It pointed its mirror stave at one portal, firing a black beam from the mirror that pulled out Verz Heliolope and converted it into energy, absorbing it into the mirror. Then it pointed its Rod of Caduceus at the other portal, firing a gold beam that pulled Verz Castor out and converted it into energy, which flew into Yamoto's hand and became a card. The portals then closed. "Then, since I used this effect, Verz Kerykeion allows me to Normal Summon a Verz monster from my hand! Verz Castor, Shoukan!" Hi humanoid Gemini-sword-wielding monster re-emerged onto the field. "Magic Card, Infestation Vector, hatsudo! This lets me Special Summon a Level 4 or below DARK monster from my hand." Yamoto picked another card. "Shadow Chain, Tokushu Shoukan!" From a dark portal, a black misty chain with red eyes and a small mouth snaked onto the field, letting out a creepy laugh along with its chain-rattling sound. "Shadow Chain no kouka hatsudo! If Shadow Chain is ever Special Summoned, I can Special Summon the other two copies I have of it directly from my Deck! And as luck would have it, I have two more!" Two other chains rattled onto the field, also laughing.

Shadow Chain: Lv.4 DARK Fiend ATK:0/DEF:0

Yamoto's eyes flashed. "I have no time to waste! Watashi wa Reberu Yon Kerykeion, Castor to, Shadow Chain san tai de, Obarei!" All five of Yamoto's monsters turned fully purple and sailed into the air in a spiral. A galaxy portal opened up in the sky, and all five streams sailed inside. "Go tai no monsuta de, Obarei Netwaaku kochiku! Ekushiizu Shoukan!" A bright purple beacon touched down to the ground.

A white outline of the number "93" formed and flashed, making a black "93", and the purple crystal and spikes descended, darkness pulsating. The crystal shattered and the darkness spewed out, forming the arms, legs, torso, and tail. The crystal pieces equipped to the form as armor, the "93" glowing in black on the chest. "Arawareyo, Nanbaazu Kyuujuusan (Number 93)!" The spikes attached to the back, gaining darkness and forming the five wings. The dragon's head formed in the darkness, its crystal helmet equipping to it. Its eyes shooting open and glowing white, it expelled the excess darkness with a loud roar, five purple orbs circling it. "Dark Matter Dragon!"

Number 93: Dark Matter Dragon: Rank 4 DARK Dragon/Xyz ATK:3800/DEF:2700 5 Overlay Units

"The mighty beast of darkness… That was rather quick of you, Kazamuki." Shirotora mused.

"And it is the beast that will mark the end of your rule! Dark Matter Dragon, attack Zodiac Ram – Gong Yang! Shadow Breaker Claw!" The dragon charged forward, its claw being engulfed in black-and-white energy.

"Trap Card, Petrify Guard, hatsudo! This card switches an EARTH monster I control to Defense Mode and renders it indestructible by this battle!" Gong Yang knelt down and crossed its arms, and then, it suddenly turned into stone. Dark Matter Dragon's claw slammed into the now-petrified ram, but it couldn't break through.

"Kuso… Dark Matter Dragon no kouka hatsudo!" Dark Matter Dragon chomped down on one of its Overlay Units, causing black-and-white fire to form in its mouth. "When it attacks an opponent's monster, I can use 1 Overlay Unit at the end of the Damage Step to inflict damage to you equal to half your monster's Attack Points!"

Dark Matter Dragon: 4 Overlay Units

"Uh-oh!" Shirotora cried.

"Go! Shadow Fire Flash!" The dragon reared back its head before unleashing a wave of the black-and-white fire across Shirotora's field.

"Ngh… Gaaaaah!" Shirotora groaned.

Shirotora LP:2650

Shirotora shook his head and growled. "I should've known you'd be trouble, Kazamuki."

"Now that my strongest monster has taken the field, I will destroy whatever you try to use against me!" Yamoto told Shirotora. "Monsters like yourself will face judgment before me! Turn end!"

"No one has the right to pass judgment on anyone else, you know." Shirotora mused as Gong Yang reverted to normal from its petrified state. "This Duel is far from over!"
