I would let the previous chapter sink in first but I'm getting impatient, so I just decided to do two chapters in the same day instead my usual one chapter a day. I also improved Vetrix's deck a little. I also included some custom cards for Number 96 and a custom card for Vetrix. Also, I'm trying to work on my description skills and not mashing up the dialogue
"I'll go first I draw!", Vetrix says as he draws a card from his deck. "For my first move, I activate the Field Spell, Augmented Heraldry." All of a sudden, the bottom of the symbol of the crest appeared on the metal floor. "
"With this card I can discard any Heraldic Beast monster from my hand and add a Spell card with Heraldry in its name from my deck to my hand. So, I discard Heraldic Beast Leo to add Advanced Heraldry Art from my Deck to my hand. Then, I use Leo's ability. When it's sent to the Graveyard I can add a Heraldic Beast from my deck to my hand. So, I add to my hand Heraldic Beast Amphisbaena. Now, by discarding a Heraldic Beast from my hand I can summon Amphisbaena. So, I discard Heraldic Beast Twin Headed Eagle."
All of a sudden, a short gray looking dragon with blue eyes entered the field.
"But wait, I'm not done. I now activate Advanced Heraldry Art. If I have two Heraldic Beast monsters in my Graveyard, I can use those two monsters to Xyz summon. I Overlay my two Level 4 monsters to build the Overlay Network! I Xyz summon Number 8: Heraldic King Genome Heritage."
A majestic horse looking creature with a mask, purple squinted eyes, and hair flowing at all sides appears.
"I place one card face down and end my turn."
A face down card materializes onto the field.
Number 96 exclaims with a wicked smile, "My turn! I draw! For my first move, I summon Malicevorous Spoon." A little tiny demon looking creature with a spoon and dark purple armor with horns, red squinted eyes and gritted teeth appears on the field. "
"Then by discarding Malicevorous Knife, I summon Malicevorous Fork from my hand." A similar looking demon appears except fatter and with a golden fork appears.
"And when a Malicevorous monster is summoned to the field, I can summon a Malicevorous monster from my Graveyard, so I summon Malicevorous Knife from my Graveyard." A skinnier demon with a red fork enters the field.
"Now, I Overlay these three Level two monsters to build the Overlay Network! I Xyz summon Number 96: Dark Mist!" A dark blob looking creature with claws and teeth with an orange flame looking face appears with two purple spheres orbiting around it.
Shark says, "Doesn't look like his strategy's changed much."
Ignoring Shark, Number 96 continues. "I then activate a Rank Up Magic Card I guarantee you haven't seen before. I activate the Spell Rank Up Magic Dividing Force. I Rank up Dark Mist by one and if you have an Xyz monster on the field, it's Attack Points get cut in half. I Overlay my Rank two Dark Mist in order to build the Overlay Network. I Xyz Summon Number Chaos 96: Dark Storm!" A monster similiar looking to Dark Mist appears except it's on all fours.
"Oh, and by the way when you're monsters Attack Point's are cut in half, Dark Storm gets them as well. Looks like you're so called Heraldic King has been dethroned. Go Number Chaos 96, attack Genome Heritage!" Dark Storm gets ready and jumps to attack Genome Heritage.
"Oh, and when Dark Storm battles, your monster's Attack Points become zero and are added to Dark Storm's! So Dark Storm gains another 1200 Attack Points putting at 3600!"
Vetrix smiles and says, "Not so fast, I activate my face down card Heraldry Change! When you attack me with a monster I can summon a Heraldic Beast from my hand and end the Battle Phase. So, say hello to Heraldic Beast Eale."
A blue goat looking creature with red eyes and teeth sticking out on two sides of its mouth appears on the field and Dark Storm stopped moving and returned to Number 96's part of the field. Number 96 grits his teeth and says with disdain, "I place one card face down and end my turn.", as a face down card materializes.
Meanwhile, the stranger is looking from his dimension and says to himself with a cocky smile, "You will win, Number 96. Or you will pay the price."
Vetrix draws his card and begins his move." I use Genome Heritage's special ability. By using one Overlay Unit, I can pick an Xyz monster you control, and until the end of this turn, Genome Heritage gets its name, ability, and Attack Points. Not to mention your monster's Attack Points get sent to zero."
Number 96 grits his teeth as Genome Heritage transforms into Dark Storm.
"Talk about being on the other end", Shark comments.
"Classic Dad", Trey says.
"Now Genome Heritage, go attack Dark Storm."
Genome Heritage begins to jump for an attack but Number 96 with a cocky smile says, "Not so fast! I activate my face down card, Lying in The Mist. If you attack a monster with Number 96 in its name, the Attack is stopped, and my monster gets the attacking monster's Attack Points."
A black mist appears, disguising Dark Storm, and stopping Genome Heritage causing it to return to Vetrix's side of the field as Dark Storm's Attack Points return to 3600.
Vetrix said, "If you think that's all I've got your wrong. I now activate Heraldry Reborn. I can now bring back a Heraldic Beast from my Graveyard. Come back, Heraldic Beast Leo."
A small, yellow lion with a white mane appears.
"And since I control two Heraldic Beasts, I can summon Heraldic Beast Eale from my hand. I now use my three Level 4 monsters to build the Overlay Network! I Xyz summon Number 69 Heraldry Crest!"
A black floating monster with horns, and two scythe looking arms appears.
Quinton comments, "It seems neither of them are willing to give in."
Quattro replies, "Yeah you're right about that. But our dad's nothing if not persistent."
Quinton says, "True. And if he has that card in his hand, he'll be sure to win this duel."
