Vile: Here we are with the fifth Duel: Kaito VS Megami! This Duel is the shortest out of the current five.
Kaito: Any particular reason why that is?
Vile: I couldn't think of any good moves to B.S. the story length. I did try to make the story as epic as possible, though.
Kyorei: Not like he needs any help in that department. *other Terminal Gang members nod*
Vile: Eh heh heh, thanks, guys. Disclaimer's on the first page, any bolded cards are mine. Enjoy!
6 in 1 Numbershot Special: VS The Terminal Gang!
Chapter 6: Numbershot 18: Gem Gauntlet
Kotori and Galen returned to the bleachers, Kotori sharing a kiss with Yuma, while Kaito and Megami moved to the center. However, Kaito glared at her. "Okay, Number. Show yourself!" He said. "It's clear that you're in Megami's grasp, so let's stop beating around the bush!"
Akun cringed. "He's right. I feel the same feeling around Megami as I did the others!"
As if on cue, a dark aura covered Megami, but she didn't even struggle. Her eyes went dark. "You're perceptive, Hunter." She told him. "Then again, it's five for five. You'll be able to breathe easy, however. I'm the last one. So shall we get this match started? Duel Disk, set!" Megami's Duel Disk activated, being silver with pink spaces. "D-Gazer, set!" Her D-Gazer was pink with a silver lens.
Kaito smirked. "I'll make you regret saying that. Duel Mode, Photon Change!" His eye pulsated, and his tank top changed from black to white (A/N: This is what happens instead of his coat.). His Duel Disk spun in midair before Kaito clacked it on his wrist. His left eye gained the blue markings and turned red for his D-Gazer. "Allow me to hunt for your Number…" The excess glow faded from him. "…to free your soul!"
"Go, Nii-san!" Haruto cheered.
"AR VISION, LINK ESTABLISHED." Both players' D-Gazers flashed, as well as those of the spectators. "ESTABLISHING LINK BETWEEN A AND B." The area morphed into the augmented reality.
"DUEL!"
Kaito LP:4000
Megami LP:4000
"Screw the rules of this contest. Atashi no turn! Draw!" Megami drew her card. "Magic Card, Gem-Knight Fusion, hatsudo! I fuse Gem-Knight Sanyx with Gem-Knight Tourmaline!" A dark yellow gem and a dull red gem appeared behind her sailing into the air. "Yuugou Shoukan!" The gems combined, becoming an orange gem. "Ideyo, Gem-Knight Citrine!" The gem cracked and shattered, a sword made of molten material spinning around in midair. The sword was grabbed by a red-hot arm, which was attached to an orange-armored knight flying a blue cape. The other arm was also molten.
Gem-Knight Citrine: Lv.7 EARTH Pyro/Fusion ATK:2200/DEF:1950
"But I'm not finished yet. Magic Card, Jewel Box Fusion, hatsudo!"
"Another one?" Kaito cried.
"Jewel Box Fusion lets me banish Gem-Knights from my Deck to be used as the Fusion Materials, such as Gem-Knights Iolite and Lazuli!" A dull light blue gem and an intense blue gem sailed into the air, merging into one. "Yuugou Shoukan! Arawareyo, Gem-Knight Amethyst!" A purple gem was the result of the merging, which cracked and shattered to reveal a disc-shaped crystalline shield. The shield was clacked onto the left gauntlet of a purple-armored female Gem-Knight, a crystalline baton emerging from her right baton. The monster knelt down with her shield in front of her.
Gem-Knight Amethyst: Lv.7 EARTH Aqua/Fusion ATK:1950/DEF:2450
"Two Fusions in one turn? Whoa!" Yuma mused.
"The Gem-Knights are designed for quick Fusions, and Megami takes full advantage of this." Akun said. "But with the Number having control over her, who knows what she might do?"
"I place one card facedown. Turn end!" Her facedown emerged on the field.
"Ore no turn! Draw!" Kaito drew his card and smirked. "Photon Slasher, Tokushu Shoukan!" His tank top glowed as his monster emerged as a humanoid made of blue light, its "body" covered in blue armor, with a sword in its hand.
Photon Slasher: Lv.4 LIGHT Warrior ATK:2100/DEF:0
"That monster doesn't have enough power to defeat either of mine." Megami said coolly.
Kaito kept his smirk. "You think I don't know that? That's why I've got this! Equip Magic, Photon Trident, hatsudo!" With another glow of the tank top, a silver-staffed weapon with three points made of blue light emerged, which was grabbed by Slasher's left hand. "This increases Slasher's Attack Points by 700 and grants it the ability to inflict Piercing Damage!"
Photon Slasher ATK:2800
Megami gulped. "Photon Slasher, attack Gem-Knight Citrine!" Slasher clashed its sword and trident before leaping forward.
"Trap Card, Gem-Shatter, hatsudo!" Her facedown flipped up, and Citrine returned to its gem form before exploding, the force sending Slasher back to Kaito's field. "Gem Shatter lets me destroy one Gem-Knight monster I control to negate your attack, and if the Gem-Knight was a Fusion Monster, I can Special Summon its Fusion Materials from my Graveyard in Defense Mode!" A dark yellow gem and a dull red gem emerged, both of which cracked and shattered. From the yellow gem, a lighting orb emerged, being conducted through the gauntlets of a yellow armored knight. From the red gem, a red ball and chain was swung around, the chain being held by another knight of various colors, though mostly shades of red and orange.
Gem-Knight Tourmaline: Lv.4 EARTH Thunder ATK:1600/DEF:1800
Gem-Knight Sanyx: Lv.4 EARTH Pyro/Gemini ATK:1800/DEF:900
"Great. She got two monsters for the price of one." Kaito mused. "Oh well. I place one card facedown! Turn end!"
"Atashi no turn. Draw!" Megami drew her card. "Since I have not Gemini Summoned Sanyx yet, it is currently a Normal Monster, so…" She let out a wry chuckle. "Atashi wa Reberu Yon no Gem-Knight Sanyx to, Gem-Knight Tourmaline de Obarei!" Both of her monsters turned fully orange and shot into the air in a spiral. A galaxy portal opened up in front of her, and both her monsters sailed inside. "Ni tai no tsuchizokusei (EARTH Attribute) monsuta de, Obarei Netwaaku kochiku! Ekushiizu Shoukan!" A burst of light occurred. "Arawareyo, Nanbaazu Juuhachi (Number 18)! Gem-Knight… Unobtanium!"
The number "18" formed and flashed in pink, and the monster's sealed form emerged as a large, sparkling, dark silver gem. Suddenly, the gem cracked violently before shattering. The shards swirled around before combining in five areas. Most of the shards converged into a center area, forming a silver-armored torso with a vaguely hourglass shape, complete with shoulder pads, empty arm sockets, a raised collar area, and a silver gem in the chest to mark it as a Gem-Knight. Two sets of the shards formed into bulky arms with five silver clawed fingers on each, the arms ending with spheres that each had a spike on the end. Two more sets of shards formed into what appeared to be silver-armored boots, the heel and toe area curling slightly down for an almost talon-like look, the areas above the ankles also ending in spheres with a spike on them. Then, white lightning connected each of the sphere spikes to the torso, the arms connecting to the empty arm sockets while the feet connected to the hollow underside. Then, the remaining shards formed within the collar area to create the monster's head, with a full face guard that lacked any eyeholes. Instead, the pink "18" was printed on the guard. The monster lowered to the ground with a low "CRASH", two orange Overlay Units circling it.
Number 18: Gem-Knight Unobtanium: Rank 4 EARTH Rock/Xyz ATK:2300/DEF:2300 2 Overlay Units
"So this is the final Number…" Kaito mused.
Megami, under the Number's influence, giggled. "Gem-Knight Unobtanium no kouka hatsudo. Once per turn, by using an Overlay Unit, I can add a Fusion Spell or Trap Card from my Deck of Graveyard to my hand." The orange orb was absorbed into its head, then silver lightning crackled from its hand. The lightning shot into Megami's Graveyard, pulling Jewel Box Fusion from it and adding it to her hand. "Magic Card, Jewel Box Fusion, hatsudo! This time I fuse Gem-Knight Agate, Emerald, and Alexandrite!" This time, three gems sailed into the air: A brown one, a bright green one, and a gem that changed between red, green, and blue. "Yuugou Shoukan!" The gems merged into one, becoming a dark green gem. "Ideyo, Gem-Knight Jade!" The gem cracked and shattered, and a weapon spun in the air: A staff with a halberd blade made of green jewel. The weapon was grabbed by a tan-armored Gem-Knight with green accents on the torso and adorned with dark green gems. This Gem-Knight was clearly female, having a curvier body and two large jades on the chest to simulate breasts. She had a raised collar area similar to a hood pulled down, and the helmet had eight brown spikes similar to hair. The mouth was fully covered, and a black visor was over the eyes, allowing one of her brown eyes to be seen.
Gem-Knight Jade: Lv.8 EARTH Rock/Fusion ATK:2700/DEF:2000
Galen was wide-eyed. "Okay… when did Megami pick THAT one up?" He asked.
"All I can think of is *wolf whistles*." Honto said. Akun and Ariel rolled their eyes.
"Gem-Knight Jade no kouka hatsudo! By sending a Gem card from my Deck to my Graveyard, I can add a Gem card from my Deck to my hand." She sent Gem-Armadillo to her Graveyard and added a new card. "Jewel Box Fusion prevents Jade from attacking, even though I wouldn't with Slasher's 2800 Attack Points. I place two cards facedown. Turn end!"
"Ore no turn! Draw!" Kaito drew his card. 'Let's see. That Number can add any Fusion card she wants to her hand. Even though it only has one Overlay Unit left, she could Summon anything that could deal some heavy damage.' He looked at his new card. 'Galaxy-Eyes. With it, I could get rid of Unobtanium's last Unit. But I don't want to get rid of Slasher, as those 2800 Attack Points could be useful.' He looked at his hand, but found no alternative. 'Darn it. I have no choice.' "Photon Crusher, Shoukan!" Kaito's tank top glowed again as a new monster, clad in green armor with a double-ended club.
Photon Crusher: Lv.4 LIGHT Warrior ATK:2000/DEF:0
Kaito smirked. "It's time I showed you. The form of my soul. I release my two Photon monsters! Tokushu Shoukan!" The two warriors vanished, and light particles converged into the crest of the Hunter's dragon. Kaito grabbed the crest and chucked it into the air, his tank top glowing again. The crest spun around rapidly, drawing in light particles that formed a new, larger shape. "Hikari no keshin, ima kouri (Incarnation of light, descend now)!" The monster's eyes shone with the power of a galaxy. "Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon!" The dragon let out a loud roar, expelling the excess glow from its body.
Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon: Lv.8 LIGHT Dragon ATK:3000/DEF:2500
"Egh! I've been warned about such a beast!" Megami hissed.
"So you know about Galaxy-Eyes, eh? Well then, you know what I'm about to do! Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon, attack Gem-Knight Unobtanium! Hametsu no Photon… STREAM!" The dragon's head reared back before firing a beam of light energy from its mouth.
"Trap Card, Gem-Barrier, hatsudo! This card negates an attack against a Gem-Knight monster, and allows me to add a Gem-Knight card from my Graveyard to my hand!" Unobtanium's chest gem glowed harshly before projecting an energy barrier that completely deflected the attack. She then re-added Tourmaline to her hand.
"Kuso! Galaxy-Eyes can't use its effect with a negated attack." Kaito groaned. "I have to be careful. I place one card facedown! Turn end!"
"Atashi no turn… Draw!" Megami drew her card. "This time, you're finished. Gem-Knight Jade no kouka hatsudo! By sending another Gem card from my Deck to the Graveyard, I get a new Gem card!" She sent Gem-Elephant and added Gem-Knight Spectrolite. "Trap Card, Gem-Enhancement, hatsudo! By releasing Gem-Knight Jade, I can Special Summon Gem-Knight Citrine from my Graveyard!" The tan-armored knight returned to gem form, then the gem turned orange before shattering again, revealing the molten-armed knight.
Gem-Knight Citrine: Lv.7 EARTH Pyro/Fusion ATK:2200/DEF:1950
"Unobtanium no kouka hatsudo! I retrieve my Gem-Knight Fusion from my Graveyard!" The card was returned to her hand by the silver lightning. "Magic Card, Gem-Knight Fusion, hatsudo! I fuse Gem-Knight Tourmaline with Gem-Knight Spectrolite!" Tourmaline's yellow gem sailed into the air with a rainbow-radiating gem, merging into one. "Yuugou Shoukan! Arawareyo, Gem-Knight Prismaura!" A crystal blue triangle-shaped gem radiating a blue aura was the result of the union, which cracked and shattered. A crystal sword emerged, attached to the arm of a white-armored Gem-Knight with a red cape and a shield with a triangular prism attached to it.
Gem-Knight Prismaura: Lv.7 EARTH Thunder/Fusion ATK:2400/DEF:1450
"But I'm not finished! Magic Card, Jewel Draw, hatsudo! For every Gem-Knight Fusion Monster I control, I can draw one card!" Three cards were drawn, and she grinned. "Well, look at this! Magic Card, Particle Fusion, hatsudo! This time, from my hand, I fuse Gem-Knight Beryl with Sparkle Stone!" A pink gem sailed into the air, merging with a white stone emitting many sparkles. "YUUGOU SHOUKAN! Ideyo, Gem-Knight Zirconia!" A dull diamond emerged, which cracked violently and shattered. The shards reformed into two HUGE fists, attached to a hulking dull-armored Gem-Knight.
Gem-Knight Zirconia: Lv.8 EARTH Rock/Fusion ATK:2900/DEF:2500
Kaito's eyes were frighteningly wide. "B-Bakana! Five monsters…?"
"The Gem-Knights are an elite fighting force that take the field by storm!" Megami declared. "Equip Magic, Gem-Cannon, hatsudo!" A large cannon with a gem battery fell into Citrine's hands. "This card increases a Gem-Knight monster's Attack Points by 200 multiplied by its Level!"
Citrine ATK:3600
'Crud! Combined with its ability to seal off card effects when it attacks, that's enough to destroy Galaxy-Eyes!' Kaito thought.
"But it isn't over… Gem-Knight Prismaura no kouka hatsudo! By discarding Gem-Knight Obsidian, I can destroy one card on your field!"
Kaito acted quickly. "Trap Card, Photon Interference, hatsudo! This card negates your effect and deals 1000 damage to you as repayment!" A wall of blue light surrounded Galaxy-Eyes, causing the lightning to be sent back to Megami, zapping her.
Megami LP:3000
"Curse you… Gem-Knight Citrine! Obliterate Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon with Citrine Cannon!" The gem battery on the cannon turned orange, then a blast of orange energy was fired from it. The blast struck Galaxy-Eyes in its crest, causing it to roar in pain before dissipating.
Kaito LP:3400
"With your monster gone, now you shall feel my wrath! Gem-Knight Zirconia, attack Kaito directly!" The hulking Gem-Knight leapt forward and brought down its huge fists in a hammer punch, causing a massive shockwave.
"Naaaaaaahhhh!" Kaito yelled as he was thrown back.
"KAITO!" "NII-SAN!" Jenaveve and Haruto yelled as Kaito landed on the ground.
Kaito LP:500
Kaito groaned as he opened his eyes. "T-Trap Card… Photon Mirage, hatsudo! When I take Battle Damage from a battle with a Photon monster, I can Special Summon another one from my Deck! Photon Atom, Tokushu Shoukan!" A small white atom-like monster emerged as Kaito got to his feet. "Photon Atom no kouka hatsudo! Each time I Summon one, I can Summon another one!" Two more atoms emerged. The readouts said that all three were in Defense Mode.
Photon Atom x3: Lv.1 LIGHT Thunder ATK:0/DEF:0
Megami growled. "Fine. If you want to stay safe so bad, I'll stop. There's no points among them, so there's no point. Turn end!"
Kaito went to draw. 'I need a certain card if I'm going to win this.' Suddenly, the top card of his Deck glowed red. Kaito knew what this was. 'I can always count on you.' "Ore no turn… DRAW!" Kaito drew his card. "Galaxy Egg, Shoukan!" His monster was a light blue glowing egg, printed with some galaxy-like markings.
Galaxy Egg: Lv.1 LIGHT Dragon ATK:0/DEF:100
"Galaxy Egg no kouka hatsudo! By banishing it, I can Special Summon Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon from my Graveyard!" The egg shook around and cracked before shattering revealing the dragon of the galaxy.
Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon: Lv.8 LIGHT Dragon ATK:3000/DEF:2500
"Now that Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon is back… I can fulfill the final move needed to release your victim from your grasp, Number! Magic Card, Photon Battery, hatsudo! By releasing all other LIGHT monsters I control, Galaxy-Eyes gains 1000 Attack Points for each one!" The three Photon Atoms swirled around Galaxy-Eyes before being absorbed into its crest. Galaxy-Eyes let out a loud roar as power surged through it.
Galaxy-Eyes ATK:6000
"Six thousand Attack Points?" Megami cried.
"Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon! Attack Gem-Knight Unobtanium! Hametsu no Photon… STREAM!" Galaxy-Eyes reared its head back before firing a beam of star-studded energy, obliterating the torso of the Number. The rest of the parts fell to the ground, causing explosions that destroyed the rest of Megami's line-up.
"Eeeyaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!" Megami cried as she was thrown back, landing on the ground.
Kaito LP:500
Megami LP:0 – LOSER
Kaito's face appeared with the word "WIN" as the buzzer sounded, and the Augmented Reality began to vanish. Jenaveve went down to Kaito and placed her left hand over his, powering his Photon Hand with her power. Kaito then fired his Photon Hand at Megami, safely pulling Number 18 from her body without taking her soul. Kaito sighed with relief. "All five have been secured."
"Thank goodness." Kyorei called to them. "Now that the Numbers have been taken care of, we can safely move on to the final Duel: Yuma against Akun!"
