Yuma: 4000 LP

Kite: 4000 LP

Quattro: 4000 LP

Trey: 4000 LP

All: Let's do this!

Quattro: You'll soon be humiliated like my other fans.

Kite: I'm no fan. I just want to win this duel and get my little brother out of here.

Quattro: Keep dreaming. I could best you guys even if I kept this hand behind my back.

Yuma: Why don't you give your mouth a rest too? Let's duel.

Astral: Do not allow him to provoke you. That is Quattro's strategy.

Yuma: I know. If we lose our cool, he's gonna win.

Orbital 7: You wanna win? Then lay low you meddling pest and stay out of Master Kite's way!

Tori: What was that?!

Orbital 7: Yuma doesn't have half the skills as Kite!

Tori: Is that so?

Orbital 7: Well, he doesn't.

Tori: Don't insult my friend or I'll cut off your power supply, you got that?

Orbital 7: Y-yes ma'am. This girl's a real pain in the processor.

Quattro: It's on, and I'm up first. I summon Gimmick Puppet Egg Head.

Level 4/Earth/Machine

ATK 1600/DEF 1200

Quattro: And now I activate his special ability. Once per turn, Egg Head lets me send a card in my hand to the graveyard in order to deal 800 points of damage.

Yuma: He can't do that.

Astral: True, he cannot attack on the first turn of a duel, but this is not an attack.

Quattro: I send Gimmick Puppet Dreary Doll to the graveyard. Do your damage and clobber Kite.

His monster opened its shell and fired a barrage of energy blasts at Kite.

Kite: 3200 LP

Yuma: You okay?

Kite: Worry about yourself.

Yuma: Not a chance, we're on the same team.

Quattro: I'll end my turn with a face-down card. It's your move Kite, now don't mess this up, or who knows what might happen to your brother.

Kite: That's it, you're going down Quattro. I activate the field spell Photon World. And now I summon Photon Crusher.

Level 4/Light/Warrior

ATK 2000/DEF 0

Kite: And now the effect of Photon World activates. Whenever I summon a photon monster, anyone who doesn't control a photon monster gets slammed for damage equal to my monster's level multiplied by 100.

Yuma: Hang on a second, I don't have any photon monsters, which means the field spell affects me too.

Kite: It doesn't matter since I don't need you, I can rescue Hart all by myself.

Quattro: 3600 LP

Trey: 3600 LP

Yuma: 3600 LP

Tori: Kite, how dare you injure your own teammate!

Quattro: No sense of loyalty. I admire that.

Kite: I'll put one card face-down and end my turn.

Yuma: You just sold me out. Fine, then I won't worry about you either.

Astral: Yes, you will. In order to win this duel, you must work together.

Yuma: Tell that to Kite. He started it you know.

Astral: Think Yuma. There is much more at stake here than your pride. Remember, you are dueling for Hart.

Yuma: You're right. I promised to help him, and I can't let him down.

Quattro: It's hopeless Yuma. Neither of you will save Hart because you're both fools. You're a twerp, and Kite's a reluctant warrior who's pressured into fighting to save his little brother. Isn't it true Kite? That Dr. Faker and Mr. Heartland promised you they would cure Hart's illness if you served them by collecting numbers?

Yuma: I was right. You do hunt numbers to help cure Hart.

Quattro: It's true. Kite may seem tough and ruthless, but the truth is that he's desperate. He'd do anything to save his precious brother. His story's so tragic, I could cry.

Yuma: You should've told us Kite. Why did you keep it a secret?

Kite: I don't want your sympathy Yuma. All that matters to me is collecting the number cards I need. And I'll take yours when I get the chance.

Yuma: He's hunting the numbers to cure Hart, but he can't if we gather them all instead.

Astral: Yuma, keep your focus on this duel. If you lose now, there will be no hope for Hart under any circumstance.

Yuma: Yeah, you're right. I've gotta stay focused.

Trey: I'm next, so I draw. Quattro, I'm gonna set up the combo. First, I summon Chronomaly Golden Jet.

Level 4/Light/Machine

ATK 1300/DEF 1400

Trey: Now I play the Chronomaly Resonance spell card, which will let me summon a Chronomaly monster from my hand whose level is one greater than Golden Jet's, like my Chronomaly Moai.

Level 5/Earth/Rock

ATK 1800/DEF 1600

Trey: And now I play Golden Jet's special ability, which will raise its level by 1.

Golden Jet: Level 4-5

Astral: He now has two level 5 monsters on his field.

Trey: I overlay my level five Moai and Golden Jet. With these two monsters, I build the overlay network, and xyz summon Number 33: Chronomaly Machu Mech!

Rank 5/Light/Machine

ATK 2400/DEF 1500

Yuma: I never saw a monster that needed its own zip code before.

Trey: I place two cards face-down and end my turn, it's your move.

Astral: Remember that Trey and Quattro possess other numbers as well. You must keep your guard up Yuma.

Yuma: Don't worry, I will. Get ready, because I draw. I summon Ganbara Knight in attack mode.

Level 4/Light/Warrior

ATK 0/DEF 1800

Yuma: And since I summoned a level 4 monster, I can now summon my Kagetokage.

Level 4/Dark/Reptile

ATK 1100/DEF 1500

Yuma: I'm really feelin' the flow! I overlay level 4 Ganbara Knight and Kagetokage! And now that I have, I can build the overlay network and xyz summon.

Quattro: Oh please, without a number, you're wasting your time.

Yuma: Well then Quattro, since time is of the essence, say hello to Number 39: Utopia!

Rank 4/Light/Warrior

ATK 2500/DEF 2000

Trey: What? He has a number card?

Quattro: How could this be? How did that twerp get a number card?

Trey: I wish we'd known that before. Hey Quattro, I'm worried this kid may be able to see through our strategy. He did watch my duel against Shark after all. Maybe we should change our game plan.

Quattro: That's quite the surprise but know that an even greater one awaits you Yuma.

Astral: Yuma, place a card face-down. Quattro and Trey are very skilled, and you must fortify your defenses. Stay alert. You must be ready for any scenario they throw at you.

Yuma: You got it. I end my turn with two face-down cards.

Quattro: It's my move now. You'd better hold onto your decks, because I'm activating my Level Doubler spell card, so by sending a card in my hand to the graveyard, the level of my Gimmick Puppet Egg Head doubles.

Egg Head: Level 4-8

Quattro: Now I'll activate the effect of the Gimmick Puppet Dreary Doll I just sent to the graveyard. By banishing the other Dreary Doll that's in my graveyard, I can summon this one back to the field.

Level 8/Dark/Machine

ATK&DEF 0

Astral: Quattro is clearly setting the stage so a number card can be unleashed.

Quattro: I overlay level 8 Egg Head and Dreary Doll. With these two monsters, I build the overlay network and xyz summon Number 15: Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinder!

Rank 8/Dark/Machine

ATK 1500/DEF 2500

Yuma: He summoned Number 15!

Astral: Yuma, this situation is most alarming.

Tori: I've seen that number before. Quattro used it to destroy Bronk and Caswell's monsters.

Trey: Time for me to step in and activate my Number Wall trap card. This card keeps my number from being destroyed by any card effects, including Giant Grinder's.

Astral: Yuma, this is very bad.

Quattro: Your number is up kid. I activate Giant Grinder's special ability. By using one overlay unit, every other xyz monster is destroyed, so say goodbye to Utopia.

Yuma: But using that ability will also destroy your teammate's xyz monster.

Quattro: Think again kid.

Trey: Since my Number Wall is out, Machu Mech can't be destroyed by effects, but Utopia can.

Astral: Trey and Quattro played this perfectly. I am afraid there is nothing we can do to save Utopia.

Yuma: But what about Utopia's special ability?

Astral: I'm afraid it is no use in this situation. Utopia's ability can only block attacks, but Quattro isn't attacking.

Quattro: It gets a whole lot worse for you. Now Giant Grinder deals Utopia's attack points to you as damage.

Yuma: 1100 LP

Tori: Yuma, are you okay?

Astral: Yuma, use Damage Mage's special ability, otherwise Quattro will attack you directly and you will run out of life points.

Yuma: Good thinking. I activate Damage Mage's special ability. When I take damage from an effect, I can summon this card and then regain the life points I lost.

Damage Mage

Level 3/Dark/Spellcaster

ATK 600/DEF 1200

Yuma: 3600 LP

Quattro: You spoiled my plan you little twerp, but don't think you've stopped me. I play the spell Attack Gimmick! Thanks to this, Giant Grinder gains 500 attack points for this turn, so that it can really lash out at its enemies. In addition, if it destroys your monster in battle, you take damage equal to your monster's attack points, which is bad news for you Kite.

Giant Grinder: 1500-2000 ATK

Quattro: Giant Grinder, eliminate Kite's Photon Crusher!

Yuma: But since they have the same attack points, they'll both be destroyed.

Astral: No, that Giant Grinder is a number, only another number can destroy it.

Quattro: Giant Grinder, attack! First, I'm gonna smash up your Photon Crusher Kite, and then you're next.

His monster struck Photon Crusher, setting off an explosion.

Orbital 7: Master Kite!

Quattro: Feel like giving up yet, Kite?

The dust cleared and revealed Photon Crusher hadn't been destroyed.

Yuma: No one's giving up because I activated Impenetrable Attack to protect my partner.

Quattro: A trap card?

Yuma: Yep, and due to its effect, Photon Crusher can't be destroyed in battle this turn, which means both it and Kite's life points are safe.

Quattro: You're starting to get on my nerves kid. I end my turn.

Kite: Yuma, do you think I need your help to survive?

Yuma: I'm just trying to be a good teammate.

Tori: What an ingrate. And Yuma just saved him.

Orbital 7: Sorry, but saying thank you isn't Master Kite's strong suit.

Kite: Don't help me. We'll always be enemies Yuma. Anyone with a number card will be taken down by me. Hold on, you're doing this for Astral.

Yuma: You're wrong. I know you plan to carry out your mission no matter what I do. But I made a promise to Hart. He wanted to see his big brother again, and I swore that I'd bring both of you back together.

Quattro: Will you two stop? You're supposed to be fighting me, not each other, and I do not like being ignored. What's the matter with you guys, don't you find me threatening enough?

Tori: I just find him obnoxious.

Quattro: I have an idea that'll get your focus on me. I'll give you both an inside look on poor helpless Hart. Feast your eyes on this!

A video screen appeared, showing the room where the ritual was taking place.

Kite: Let my brother go now!

Quattro: That's not gonna happen. By the time we're finished, you'll be too late to help Hart. He may not even recognize you once we're through with him.

Kite: You animal.

Trey: Don't push it Quattro.

Quattro: What's the matter? Oh wait, you must be feeling guilty. You know you don't have what it takes to win this duel and save your little brother. Hahahahaha!

Kite: Quattro, you're gonna pay!

Quattro: Do it Kite. Use the card I've been waiting for. Then your brother's fate will be sealed and so will yours.

Kite: You're through Quattro, I draw!

Yuma: Think about what you're doing Kite!

Kite: First I summon Photon Thrasher!

Level 4/Light/Warrior

ATK 2100/DEF 0

Kite: By summoning Photon Thrasher, Photon World's effect is activated! You should've turned Hart over when you had the chance Quattro, because now I'll keep hammering away until you're forced to release him. Nothing's gonna stop me from freeing my brother!

Quattro: 3200 LP

Trey: 3200 LP

Yuma: 3200 LP

Kite: I'll destroy anybody who stands in my way!

Yuma: Chill out.

Astral: With two powerful monsters on his field, Kite is now prepared to make his move.

Kite: I tribute Photon Thrasher and Photon Crusher so I can bring out one of my most destructive monsters. Be afraid Quattro. Come forth my mighty monster, with the savagery of a supernova! Bring on a cosmic cataclysm that vaporizes everything in your path! Come forth, Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon!

Level 8/Light/Dragon

ATK 3000/DEF 2500

Quattro: Stupendous.

Trey: Are you sure this was a good idea Quattro?

Quattro: Kite doesn't have a clue what's coming, trust me.

Trey: For our sake, I hope this works.

Suddenly, a light flashed in the sky as more meteors appeared.

Astral: Oh no, since Kite summoned another photon monster, Photon World's effect activates.

Quattro: 2400 LP

Trey: 2400 LP

Yuma: 2400 LP

Kite: Galaxy-Eyes, take aim and attack Giant Grinder! Go Photon Stream of Destruction!

Quattro: You fell for it!

Trey: I activate the trap Stonehenge Shield! If you attack with a monster that has 3000 or more attack points, not only does this trap deflect your attack, but your monster's attack points get zapped down to 0.

Kite: He loses all his attack points?

Trey: Yep, as well as all his special abilities, which means your Galaxy-Eyes is now completely powerless.

Astral: Those two wanted Kite to summon Galaxy-Eyes. They set him up.

Trey: Now I activate Machu Mech's special ability! When the attack power of a monster changes, I can use one of Machu Mech's overlay units to deal you damage equal to the change in attack power. Go Infinity Cannon!

Quattro: Thanks for the duel Kite, it was fun while it lasted. Now say goodbye to your dragon's attack points, along with your life points!
