Hello people! I'm back! I should have pointed out in the first chapter that Yuma and Shark are already friends, along with a couple of other things. The plot was originally thought of by Nox Decious in the Ice Queen Cometh, to whom I copied, but I have been shamed for it and deserved it, and won't happen again. To prove that this isn't a copycat series, here is Chapter 2!

Chapter 2: Sharks, Barians, and Ambers

Beyond the vast reaches of the human world, across the very fabric of space and time, laid the alternate dimension ruled by the powers of Chaos: Barian World. In its center was the gathering of four cloaked individuals, who all shared one single goal in mind: claim all the Numbers for themselves to destroy Astral World. Two of them were currently arguing over the matter.

"Dumon, we can't just sit here and do nothing!" A yellow cloaked individual said to the one cloaked in grey. "Are we really going to place all our hopes in Vector?! You honestly think that whatever his plan is that it won't fail? We don't even know what it is?!"

Dumon turned around. "I never said it wouldn't, Mizar. All I said to Vector was that if his plan could get us the Numbers the he could carry it out. Still, it might be best if we go do some ground work ourselves." Dumon then turned again, this time to a muscular green cloaked figure.

"I know what you're going to say, and yes! Things will definitely go a lot faster with if we do some hunting ourselves!" He said.

"I am glad you think so Girag. Alito, we need you too." Dumon said to a red cloaked figure, Alito.

"Why don't I stay here for a while and tend to things so nothing happens while you're gone. After all, if Astral World found out all of us were gone, who knows what they would do?" Alito said.

"Fine. Mizar, Girag, we are heading to Earth." Dumon said as a portal opened and the three Barians left for Earth.

In Yuma's house Astral was watching Yuma sleep, but then he got a bad feeling in his gut that something was happening.

"Whatever it is the I'm feeling; it can't be good!" Astral then saw that large storm clouds were gathering in the sky through the window in Yuma's room.

Near a warehouse a red hole in the sky opened up, and three large globes of red energy slowly descended down to the ground. The energy receded, revealing three male humans, but they were actually not human at all, these were the Barians.

"So this is the human world huh?" Girag asked rhetorically, who took the form of a giant muscular man with large lips, tan skin, and a green mohawk.

"Yes, and it's even more worthless looking than I thought." Mizar said, who looked like a regular person with long blonde hair, but had red marks on his face.

"We begin hunting Numbers immediately. Even use humans if you have too." Dumon ordered, who looked like a teenager with spiked gray hair and glasses.

Dumon and Mizar left, leaving Girag alone. He then turned around and saw a gang of bikers. He then walked over and held a card in the air, which glowed red and everyone looked at it. When the light dimmed everyone's eyes were glowing bright magenta.

"We will fight in the name of Barian World!" They all said in at once.

The next day at school, Shark was feeling happy. Just yesterday he made a quick score with a Duelist, who had a Number. But it wasn't just any Number, it was Number 47: Nightmare Shark, a Rank 3 monster, so it was a perfect fit for his deck. If he kept this up, he would be able to clobber Terra in no time. After that he would even a score he had with Quattro, the one who tricked him into looking at his deck right before the finals of the Duel Nationals and getting him disqualified. After that he didn't really know what to do. Then he saw Yuma walking Dow the hallway talking to himself again. He claimed the was an invisible Duelist following him around, which seemed unlikely. Then again, Shark did pull a red ghost out twice and all this did start three days ago during their Duel with Scorch and Chills when those Numbers first showed up, so there maybe Yuma wasn't going crazy. But Yuma did also have two powerful Numbers that would give him a clear advantage against Terra, but Yuma would most likely not approve of the way he wants to use them to take revenge against Terra, then again, Yuma did help support him when all went downhill for him.

6 months ago...

Current Status of Duel:

Shark: 4000 Life Points

Yuma: 700 Life Points

Shark's Field:

Submersible Carrier Aero Shark: Rank 3/WATER/Fish/1900 Atk/1000 Def

One card face down in the Spell/Trap Zone

Yuma's Field:

Zubaba Knight: Level 3/EARTH/Warrior/1600 Atk/900 Def

Yuma's Turn:

"I activate Blustering Winds! This will give my knight an extra 1000 attack points!" Yuma said.

Zubaba Knight Atk: 1600 + 1000 = 2600

"Now Zubaba Knight attack Submersible Carrier Aero Shark!"

"I activate Poseidon Wave! This card not only stops your attack, but it deals you 800 points of damage since I control Submersible Carrier Aero Shark!" Shark said as a large Greek Warrior with a trident in its hand, then a large wave of water washed Yuma away.

Yuma: 700 – 800 = 0 (LOSE)

Shark then walked away. "If people are this weak, what's the point of Dueling anymore?"

"Why not? It's good fun! And it's for making friends!" Yuma said.

"Fun? Friends? Dueling is a serious business! And it can have consequences if you allow yourself to become weak!"

"Consequences? What do you mean?" Yuma asked, not knowing what he meant.

"You didn't hear? I got disqualified from the Duel Nationals because I looked at my opponent's deck. But I only did that because my opponent, Quattro, set it up so I would get disqualified. They didn't prove that he set me up, but the look on his face when I was carried out was all the proof I needed." Shark expected Yuma to say that Quattro would never do such a thing like everyone else.

"Why would he purposely do that?" Yuma asked, growing curious.

"He knew I was afraid of losing, because I promised my sister, Rio, I would win after she had an accident that left her hospitalized. Being weak minded is what let me to stoop so low."

"What kind of accident?" Yuma asked, wanting to know more.

Shark didn't know if he should tell, but Yuma is the first person to believe that he was set up. "She went to a warehouse to Duel someone, and it ended in her opponent burning her." Shark definitely didn't expect Yuma to believe this to, but again he was wrong.

"Her opponent burned her?! Who could do such a thing?!" Yuma said in shock.

"Terra. That's all Rio told me before she passed out from the flames."

"Terra…I don't believe Dueling is for revenge, but she needs to be taught a really good lesson!"

Shark was surprised. Nobody else believed him, but Yuma, who barely knew him, believed every word. Maybe Yuma could be his friend.

As he was about to ask Yuma about it the bell rang and they went to their separate classes.

Yuma sat down and Mr. Kay, their teacher, went to the front of the class and made an announcement. "Good morning class. Now after that Crashbug Virus incident our systems are back online."

Yuma then made a little face, as if he knew something about the virus attack two days ago.

"But before we begin, we will be having a new student joining our class today." The door then opened and a girl walked in. She looked about 13, had blue eyes, and long light brown hair with two small braids that started behind the ears and were kept on the front of her shirt. From her school uniform colors, you could tell she was a first year student.

"Everyone, give a warm welcome to Amber Prince." Mr. Kay announced to the class. "Well Amber, why don't you tell the class a little bit about yourself."

"Well, I moved here from another city, and before that I lived pretty much all over since my parents had to move a lot. I also like to learn about new things, and I hope to get to know each one of you better." She said with a calm and pleasant voice. She then took a seat next to Yuma and they began with class.

After school Yuma was having an argument with Astral.

"What do you mean by 'stop following me like a lost puppy'?" Astral asked.

"It means that you won't leave me alone!" Yuma yelled.

"Observation Number 5: humans say things that can have more than one meaning, but are very confusing."

Yuma was about to yell when he saw the new student, Amber walking. "Hey Amber!"

Amber turned and saw Yuma running towards her. "Hey, uh, your Yuma Tsukumo right?" She asked.

"Yes." Yuma then saw a Duel deck in her hands. "Hey, you Duel?"

"No. But I want t. I'm scared that I'll draw the wrong card, or accident play the wrong one."

"Just high five to sky!" Yuma said.

"What?" Amber said, confused by his saying.

"It means to take a chance! You can't be great if you don't take chances!" Yuma explained.

"Take a chance. I'll keep that in mind." Amber said.

They then heard a scream. They ran towards the scream and saw a pack of bickers surrounding a Duelist, who seemed to have lost.

A big guy with silver hair and a x shaped scare in the middle of his face showed up. "Now, give us that Number you have or else things will get ugly."

The man gave the big man a card and a red 50 disappeared from his shoulder, but didn't transfer to the big guy.

"Hey! What's going on?!" Yuma said.

The big guy turned to see Yuma and Amber. "Get out of here kids! Don't you know what happens to those who mess with Fender?!"

"Yuma, this man has a Number, and we need it." Astral said.

"Amber, you should get out of here, these kinds of people are dangerous. Especially with Numbers involved." Yuma then realized he shouldn't have said that last part.

"So, you have a Number? Then let's Duel!" Fender said.

"Amber, run! This is something you don't want to get involved in! Trust me!" Yuma said looking at her.

Amber ran off, but not before looking back, wanting to help but couldn't.

"Yuma, let's begin!" Astral said.

Both Duelists readied their Duel Disks and Duel Gazers, but Fender's Duel Disk had a heavy metal design on it, and his left eye turned red instead of using a Duel Gazer.

Augmented Reality Vision Online

Yuma: 4000

Fender: 4000

"Let's Duel!" They both said.

"I'll go first! Draw!" Fender said. "I summon Djinn Cycle!" An evil looking motorcycle rolled out.

Djinn Cycle: Level 3/DARK/Machine/400 Atk/400 Def

"Next, since I control a Djinn monster, I can summon Djinn Truck from my hand!" A sixteen-wheel truck with a large skull on the front came out.

Djinn Truck: Level 3/DARK/Machine/0 Atk/1200 Def

"Now I Overlay Level 3 Djinn Cycle and Truck!" His two machines disappeared into the red portal.

"I XYZ SUMMON MECHQUIPPED ANGINEER!"

A humanoid made out of a purple motorcycle with green outlines appeared on the field.

Mechquipped Angineer: Rank 3/LIGHT/Fairy/1800 Atk/1000 Def

"Now Djinn Cycle's ability activates! Since it became an Overlay Unit you take 400 points of damage!"

Yuma: 4000 – 400 = 3600

"Then I place a card face down and end my turn!"

"My turn! I draw!" Yuma said. "I summon Gagaga Magician!" Yuma's wizard appeared on the field.

Gagaga Magician: Level 4/DARK/Spellcaster/1500 Atk/1000 Def

"Next I activate Wonder Wand! This gives my monster an extra 500 attack points!" Yuma's magician grabbed a wand and powered up.

Gagaga Magician Atk: 1500 + 500 = 2000

"Now go! Attack that Angineer!" Yuma said as his monster flew towards his target.

"Ha! I activate Angineer's ability! By using one Overlay Unit I can change one attack position monster to defense mode! I chose my monster!" Fender said as his monster changed battle mode.

Angineer: Def 1000

"Still my monster will beat yours!" Yuma said as he watched his monster blast Angineer with lightning from his wand, but it didn't do anything.

"What?!" Yuma said as Fender's monster remained on the field.

"Ha! The monster switched by Angineer's effect can't be destroyed this turn!" Fender said. "Next I activate Vain Halt! Since you didn't destroy my monster, I can summon one Machine-type monster from my Graveyard! Come on out, Djinn Cycle!" Fender's face down flipped up, revealing a monster holding a shield and Djinn Cycle riding next to the monster, and the menacing motorcycle came riding out of the Graveyard.

"Fine. I end my turn with a face down." Yuma said.

"Now I draw!" Fender then looked at the card he drew and smiled. "I summon Djinn Cycle.2!" A motorcycle that looked like a larger and scarier version of Djinn Cycle appeared.

Djinn Cycle.2: Level 4/DARK/Machine/600 Atk/600 Def

"Now its effect activates! My Djinn Cycle becomes the same Level as this card!"

Djinn Cycle: Level 4

"Now I Overlay my Level 4 Djinn Cycles!" His two motorcycles disappeared into the golden portal.

"I XYZ SUMMON NUMBER 50: BLACKSHIP OF CORN!"

A large pirate ship with a red 50 on the white sail descended from the sky.

Number 50 Blackship of Corn: Rank 4/DARK/Plant/2100 Atk/1500 Def

"This must be the Number he took from that human before." Astral suspected as it had the same number as the Duelist before had a red 50 on his arm before giving the Number to Fender.

"Now Djinn Cycle will deal you damage just like before!" The Overlay Unit shot lightning at Yuma.

Yuma: 3600 – 400 = 3200

"Now I activate Blackship's special ability! Once per turn I can use an Overlay Unit to destroy one of your monsters with equal or fewer attack points, and you take 1000 points of damage! GO SHIP CATACLYSM!" Lightning emitted from the sail and destroyed Gagaga Magician.

Yuma: 3200 – 1000 = 2200

"Not so fast! I summon Damage Mage!" Yuma said. A girl with a purple hooded cloak and white angel wings came out with a white light emitting from them.

Damage Mage: Level 3/DARK/Spellcaster/600 Atk/1200 Def

"Whenever a card effect harms me, it can Summon her to restore my Life Points to the way they were!"

Yuma: 2200 + 1000 = 3200

"And I'll keep her around in defense mode so I'm protected!" Yuma said as the winged maiden turned to a defensive position.

"Like that'll help you! I activate Rank Up Magic Barian's Force!" Fender said.

"Rank Up What?!" Yuma said with worry.

Even Astral was worried. "'Barian' that word seems familiar, yet it gives me a feeling of uneasiness." Astral thought to himself.

"With Barian's Force I shall rebuild the Overlay Network to turn my Xyz Monster into a Chaos Xyz Monster!" As Fender said this, a blue Fleur-de-Lis with a red jewel at the center appeared on his forehead and his red iris glowed.

The red portal reappeared and Angineer went in, which then exploded in red energy.

"CHAOS XYZ EVOLUTION! COME FORTH CHAOS XYZ: MECHQUIPPED DJINN ANGENERAL!"

A giant motor with metal wings and gold horns, and its body was filled with a magenta colored energy flowing through the middle. But what was most peculiar was its Overlay Units: they were shaped like red crystals with silver medal on the outside.

Cxyz Mechquipped Djinn Angeneral: Rank 4/DARK/Fairy/2600 Atk/1600 Def

"What's a Chaos Xyz Monster?!" Yuma asked Astral.

"I have no clue, but it is emitting an energy that is weakening me." Astral said was he starting to fall to the ground.

Fender laughed. "I activate Angeneral's ability! When Xyz Summoned this card changes one monster in defense mode to attack mode, like your Damage Mage!"

Damage Mage: Atk 600

"Go Angeneral! Attack that Mage with DOOM'S AIR RAID!" A blast of light emitted from the blasters under its wings and destroyed Damage Mage, and the blast sent Yuma flying.

Yuma: 3200 – 2000 = 1200

"Now I activate another one of Angeneral's abilities! When it deals you damage, I can use one Chaos Overlay Unit to deal you an additional 1000 points of damage! CHAOS BLAST BARRAGE!" The blasters fired up again and blasted Yuma with red beams.

Yuma: 1200 – 1000 = 200

"Since I used Blackship's ability this turn; it can't attack you so your safe for now kid. I end with a face down." Fender said.

"I draw!" Yuma then saw the card he drew, and realized his only chance was a risky one. "I summon Dododo Witch!" Yuma's monster took the form of a female Viking with a horned helmet, red robes, and a staff with a vulture's head on the tip.

Dododo Witch: Level 4/EARTH/Warrior/1200 Atk/1600 Def

"Next I use her effect to summon one Dododo monster from my hand in face down defense position or face up attack position. I think I'll choose to set this monster face down!" Yuma set his monster face down, hoping that his plan would work. He quickly looked over at Astral, who wasn't feeling too good. "Next I activate Gagaga Wind! With this I can summon Gagaga Caesar, but as a Level 4 monster!" Yuma summoned a humanoid figure clothed in white robes with a red cloak. He had long, blue hair and kept the lower half of his face hidden behind a black mask, and he carried a long scepter.

Gagaga Caesar: Level 4 (Originally Level 3) /EARTH/Warrior/1800 Atk/400 Def

"Now I Overlay Level 4 Gagaga Caesar and Dododo Witch!" His two warriors disappeared into the Overlay Network.

"I XYZ SUMMON NUMBER 39: UTOPIA!"

The golden portal glowed as Utopia came out and unsealed itself into the shining warrior it was.

Number 39 Utopia: Rank 4/LIGHT/Warrior/2500 Atk/2000 Def

"So, that's your Number? I will take it in the name of Barian World!" Fender said as the jewel in the mark on his forehead glow brighter.

"'Barian World?'" Astral said with pain. The energy from the Cxyz was really getting to him.

"Nobody touches Utopia but me! Now Utopia, attack Blackship with RISING SUN SLASH!"

Utopia flew high in the sky with his wings and sliced the ship in half and backed away before it exploded.

Fender: 4000 – 400 = 3600

"I now end my turn!" Yuma said.

"Kid, you have just dug your own grave! I draw!" Fender said with anger. "Now Angeneral, attack Utopia so that we may take it for Barian World! DOOM'S AIR RAID!" Angeneral's wings began charging.

"Not so fast! I activate Utopia's ability! I can use an Overlay Unit to negate the attack! GO MOON BARRIER!" Yuma said as Utopia blocked the blast from the metal wings.

"That won't save you! I activate Djinn Charge! Now Angeneral can attack you again, I just need to banish my two Djinn Cycles! Then I can also dell damage if your monster's in defense mode! Attack that face down!" Fender said as his card's artwork showed; it was Angeneral using its blasters, only with a Djinn Cycle within each blast.

"I activate Utopia's ability to also negate that attack too!" Utopia then used its last Overlay Unit to protect the face down.

"Fine I activate my trap Djinn Trade! Now I banish Djinn Truck to resurrect Blackship of Corn!" Fender's card revealed a Djinn Cycle giving its energy to a monster passing through the Graveyard portal. The large ship then reappeared in the sky. "Now I activate Djinn Junk! You take 100 points of damage for each banished Djinn monster!"

"I activate Damage Diet to halve the damage!" Yuma said as his trap activated.

Yuma: 200 – 150 = 50

"Fine. I end my turn."

"Then I draw!" Yuma drew his card. "I flip Dododo Swordsman to attack mode!" Yuma flipped his monster, which turned out to be a ninja wearing a blue cloak and an orange, Japanese straw hat.

Dododo Swordsman: Level 8/EARTH/Warrior/0 Atk/3000 Def

Fender laughed. "Why would you summon that monster? It has no attack points! And why did you waste your Number's Overlay Unit to protect it when had 3000 defense points?"

"Because when Dododo Swordsman is Flipped Summoned he gains 3500 attack points!" Yuma said smiling as his warrior powered up.

"What?!" Fender said as his opponent's monster powered up.

Dododo Swordsman Atk: 0 + 3500 = 3500

"And that's not all! My Swordsman also slices two monsters on the field! Like that Number and Cxyz Monster of yours!" Yuma said as both of Fender's monsters were sliced to pieces.

"NOO!" Fender screamed as he was left wide open without and cards to defend himself with.

"Dododo Swordsman attack him directly! SANDOGASA WHIRLWIND!" Dododo Swordsman threw his hat a Fender, who let out a large groan as the hat hit his chest.

Fender: 3600 – 3500 = 100

"Utopia, finish this with RISING SUN SLASH!" Utopia drew its sword and sliced Fender down the middle, which also broke the mark on his head to pieces.

Fender: 100 – 2500 = 0 (LOSE)

Winner: Yuma

Astral then extended his arm and the Number left Fender's body and appeared in Astral's hand. "Number 50: Blackship of Corn." He said before he saw which memory it contained.

"Astral, soon Barian World will finally get rid of you!" A shadowy figure said with glowing magenta eyes. His vision ended.

"So I've encountered Barian World before. But why? And who was that?" Astral wondered. He then saw Fender on the ground and heard engines staring. "Yuma, we should get out of here."

"Right." Yuma said, then he ran off.

During the whole thing the both of them were completely unaware that Girag was watching the whole thing.

"So, Astral is partnered up with that kid. If he's with him, he could have tons of Numbers! Better find someone with a little more skill." Girag said as the Barian's Force card appeared in his hand and then teleported away.

Then a clocked figure came out and examined the area where Yuma and Fender Dueled. "A Rank Up Magic Barian's Force card?! So the Barians have dared to come to Earth?! They will not ruin anymore people's lives!" The figure, a female, said furiously before disappearing into a red light.
