Hello my readers! Two chapters in one month! WOHO! Last chapter was a doozy, what with Trey and Estrella making their debuts. Now, for those who are Bakugan Fans, I have created a new story based on the original series! Now don't worry, it won't take time away from this story, as Bakugan battle are WAY simpler to create than these Yu-Gi-Oh! Duels, so it won't be as time consuming to make as this story, so this story will continue as planned!
Chapter 13: Star Light, Epic Fight
Estrella: 4000
Astral: 4000
"Let's Duel!"
"I'll make the first! I draw!" Astral said as he drew. "First I Summon Gogogo Golem in attack mode!" Astral summoned the signature golem.
Gogogo Golem: Level 4/EARTH/Rock/1800 Atk/1500 Def
'Okay, if Astral Summoned out Golem in attack mode, then he must have a plan.
"I then end my turn with two face downs." Astral ended his turn.
"Alright then, I draw!" Estrella looked at the card she drew and smiled. "I activate the continuous spell Constellar Star Chart!" Estrella played her card on the field. "Once a turn, this spell allows me to draw a card when I've Summoned a Constellar Xyz Monster, which, lucky me, my whole deck is made up of!" Estrella said with a smile.
"Oh man Astral! That mean she could draw a new card each turn!" Yuma said.
"Yes, but don't worry Yuma, I have a plan to win." Astral said.
"First I summon Constellar Sheratan!" On Estrella's field came a small warrior with a helmet that had ram's horns, and a star like crest on the center of its armor, and had a small cape with a space like background.
Constellar Sheratan: Level 3/LIGHT/Beast/700 Atk/1900 Def
"And when this guy's Normal Summon, I get to add any Constellar monster from my deck to my hand!" Estrella choose her monster. "Next I play the spell Photon Lead! This allows me to summon any Level 4 or lower LIGHT monster from my hand! I Summon out Constellar Leonis!" Her second monster was another warrior, this one had blue light coming from its helmet, like a lion's mane, and it too had the same star crest and space cape like Sheratan.
Constellar Leonis: Level 3/LIGHT/Beast/1000 Atk/1800 Def
"And Leonis's ability allow me to Normal Summon an extra time each turn! So come on out Constellar Kaus!" Estrella's third beast was a centaur like warrior with a bow and arrow, and it too has the star crest as well as the space like cape.
Constellar Kaus: Level 4/LIGHT/Beast-Warrior/1800 Atk/700 Def
"Now I Overlay my Level 3 Constellar Sheratan and Leonis!" Estrella's two light warriors disappeared into the Overlay Network.
"I XYZ SUMMON THE MIGHTY CONSTELLAR HYADES!"
Estrella's Xyz Monster was another warrior and this one was larger than the others, and had bull horns, and two swords with red energy as handles, the same red energy that highlighted its body, and it had wings that had a space design like the previous Constellar monsters. The energy emitting from it was familiar to him somehow.
Constellar Hyades: Rank 3/LIGHT/Beast-Warrior/1900 Atk/1100 Def
"And since I Summoned a Constellar Xyz, I get to draw a card." Estrella drew her card. "Now I activate Hyades's special ability! By using one Overlay Unit all of your monsters change to defense mode! CLUSTER CHANGE!" Hyades absorbed the Overlay Unit into the tip of one of its swords, then a cluster of stars collected on the tip, then it threw it at Gogogo Golem.
Gogogo Golem: Def 1500
Astral smiled. "It seems you neglected to take into consideration this particular monster's special ability, which prevents it from being destroyed in battle once a turn in defense mode." Astral informed her. "So even if you attack it twice I am safe from any damage." Astral said.
Estrella smiled. "Interesting ability. Though curious you put it in attack mode, it wouldn't make any difference with Shield Crush!" Estrella played her spell. "This card destroys one defense position monster you control, your only one as a matter of fact." Estrella's spell manifested on the field and sent an energy blast at Golem, destroying it.
"Oh no!" Yuma said as Astral was now defenseless.
"Now my monsters don't have enough attack points to take you out this turn, but they will leave you heavily damaged! Hyades attack-"
"Not so fast Estrella!" Astral said. "I activate the spell Gogogo Ritual!" Astral's quick-play spell showed Gogogo Giant being destroyed, then Gogogo Golem rising from the smoke. "Since you destroyed my Gogogo monster, I get to Summon another one from my hand in defense mode! I summon out Gogogo Gorem!" Astral's new monster looked similar to Gogogo Golem, only this one was red and silver and way more mech, plus it carried a spiked club.
Gogogo Gorem: Level 4/EARTH/Rock/2300 Atk/0 Def
"So what?! It has no defense points." Estrella said, not worried.
"No, but it has quit the ability though. See, whenever this card is Summoned, it changes battle position, so now it turns to attack position with 2300 attack points!" Astral's Gorem changed from a defensive position to an offensive one.
Gorem: 2300 Atk
"Now it is the strongest monster on the field!"
"Argh! So that's why you had it in attack mode. You really know how to out think your opponents!" Estrella then placed a card face down. "I end my turn."
"Then I draw!" Astral drew his card. "I summon Gogogo Giant!" Astral summoned his colossal monster.
Gogogo Giant: Level 4/EARTH/Rock/2000 Atk/0 Def
"And with its special ability I can revive Gogogo Golem in defense mode!" The Graveyard portal opened and Gogogo Golem came out. "And now my Giant also switch to defense mode."
Gogogo Golem: 1500 Def
Gogogo Giant: 0 Def
"And with that, I end my turn." Astral finished.
"My my, you've built quite an impressive stone wall of defense, but even that can be taken down, I draw!" Estrella drew her card and played it. "I summon Constellar Algiedi!" Estrella summoned a female warrior with the star crest, space cape, and had a scepter.
Constellar Algiedi: Level 4/LIGHT/Spellcaster/1600 Atk/1400 Def
"But first, I think I'll activate my set spell, Rank Up Magic Astral Force!" Estrella said.
"WHAT?!" Yuma and Astral both said in shock as Estrella's face down on the field flipped up, revealing a card with the golden key on it.
"Oh what? Did you think that Barian World was the only one who could use Rank Up?! We created to concept, even Barian World itself!" Estrella said.
"What?! You created Barian World?!" Yuma asked.
"Oh yes. See, thousands of years ago the people of Astral World purged Chaos energy from ourselves, allowing ourselves to Rank Up beyond it. As a result, the Chaos energy created Barian World! As a result of this, we have been at war with them since the beginning." Estrella said.
"But why?" Astral said.
"Excuse me?"
"Why are we at war? I get that, but why did the war start?" Astral asked.
"Simple, because for our world to truly Rank Up, the Chaos energy must be destroyed, permanently! It wasn't just enough to expel it from ourselves, we needed to be rid of it forever!"
"Why does it have to be destroyed?! Why can't your two worlds just live together?" Yuma asked.
"We tried human. Once Barian was formed and all Chaos was removed from our world, we tried to leave it alone. But they, Don Thousand and the Barians, tried to destroy us! They stroke first, and we merely defend ourselves." Estrella said.
"Hang one, you mean the Barian Emperors?" Yuma said.
"Of course not! They didn't appear until after Don Thousand's first defeat. No doubt he created them later to inherit his powers so they could take on his mission of destruction!" Estrella said.
"But where did Don Thousand come from? Surly he didn't just appear out of nowhere!" Astral said.
"Have you not been listening? We expelled our Chaos energy, thus creating Barian." Estrella reminded them.
Astral gasped. "Your telling me that Barians were once Astral Being?!" Astral remarked.
"Of course. See some weren't able to get rid of their Chaos energy and Rank Up, so we exiled them, only a few thousand."
"'A few thousand'?!" Yuma said in shock.
"Almost a hundred actually. But it was a worthy sacrificing a small percentage to save the masses!" Estrella said.
"A hundred thousand souls?! How could you be so cruel?!" Astral said in shock by what he heard, could he really be a part of a world that condemned thousands of souls.
"I concede that it was terrible that so many had to exiled, but it was a necessary evil for the good of our world." Estrella said.
"But still, why?!" Astral insisted.
"I've told you, so we could Rank Up our world! How many times do I have to tell you that?! But now things are worse than ever, which is why we need you!"
"Yes, you mentioned that Don Thousand might have returned!" Astral said.
"Yes that, but clearly you don't remember what's happened to our world!"
"What?" Astral questioned.
"Over the last thousand years, both Barian World and Astral World have suffered rapid decay, as if our worlds are infected with some kind of virus. We know something is wrong, but whatever any of us do to our worlds to get rid of it, it doesn't work!" Estrella explained.
"What do you mean by a virus?" Astral asked.
"Our two worlds have, something, something and it is making our worlds sick and dying. Any hope either of our worlds have of surviving is by destroying the other!" Estrella said.
"Wait a minute, how is destroying one world saving the other?!" Yuma asked, not seeing any logic in that.
"Argh, human, all we know is that this, whatever it is, is feeding off our worlds! So by destroying one, we starve it of half its power!" Estrella said in a demining tone.
"But how do we know that?!" Astral said, know believing that he was a part of such a world that was hellbent on another world's destruction. "I mean, how could we be sure that by destroying one world that, whatever it is, will just stop?! What if this thing doubles its destruction rate because it only has one world to feed on?!"
"So what?! This all started when Don Thousand disappeared, so it must be him!" Estrella said.
"But even you said that the Barians didn't know what happened to him, and why would he do that to his own world?!" Astral said.
"ENOUGH!" Estrella yelled. "The Will of Astral World decreed that Barian World must be destroyed, and so it shall BE! And the destruction of Barian World starts with your return! Now since you don't remember what this card does, here's a reminder! It Ranks Up a monster by 1 or 2 Ranks!"
"Two Ranks?!" Astral and Yuma exclaimed.
"Yes, meaning I can Summon a Rank 5 monster! I Overlay my Rank 3 Constellar Hyades!" Hyades turned into light and disappeared back into the golden portal.
"GO, ORDER XYZ EVOLUTION! I XYZ SUMMON THE MIGHTY CONSTELLAR PLEIADES!"
A large cosmic storm appeared, and a new monster appeared out of it. It was a large warrior with a wing like cap that had moving stars in space in the background. It also had a large golden sword, and the Constellar symbol on its chest plate.
Constellar Pleiades: Rank 5/LIGHT/Warrior/2500 Atk/1500 Def
"Oh man, that is wicked!" Yuma said.
Astral on the other hand was uneasy. The power emitting form Pleiades was much stronger than that from Hyades. He recognized it now as the power of Astral World, his homeworld.
"And with my Star Chart I get to draw a card!" Estrella did just that. She smiled at the cards she had on her field. "Now I activate Constellar Kaus's special ability! Twice a turn, I can increase or decrease the Level of any Constellar monster on the field!" Estrella said.
"So that means she can change a monster's Level by 2!" Yuma said.
"Yes, but she can also make two monsters she has with the same Level higher or lower, and I think I know which Estrella will do!" Astral said.
"I increase my Kaus's and Algiedi's Levels by one!" Kaus then shot two arrows into the air and rained down on both it a Algiedi.
Kaus and Algiedi: Level 5
"Now I Overlay my two Level 5 Constellars!" Estrella's two monsters disappeared into the golden portal.
"I XYZ SUMMON CONSTELLAR PLEIADES!"
Estrella summoned a second Pleiades, which was just as powerful as the other one.
Constellar Pleiades: Rank 5/LIGHT/Warrior/2500 Atk/1500 Def
"No way! She has two of them?!" Yuma exclaimed.
"Oh yes! See, I have multiples of the same monsters. And with Rank Up Magic I can summon multiples in the same turn just like now!"
"Even so, my only attack position monster has 2300 attack points, and both your Pleiades have 2500 attack points, I will only take 200 points of damage. And my other two monsters are in defense mode, plus my Golem's ability makes it hard to beat." Astral said.
Estrella giggled. "Oh really? Well, see my two Pleiades have a rather unique ability. See, once a turn I can return any card on any player's field to that player's hand!"
"For real?!" Yuma said, knowing what was about to happen.
"Now I use one Overlay Unit from each of my Pleiades to return both Gogogo Golem and Gogogo Giant to your hand! LIGHT YEAR RETURN!" Each of Estrella's monsters absorbed an Overlay Unit into its sword and blasted a light beam at both Gogogo Giant and Golem, and they both returned to Astral's hand.
"Now Pleiades number one, destroy Gogogo Gorem! LIGHT SABER SLASH!" The first Pleiades took its sword and sliced Gorem in half.
Astral: 4000 – 200 = 3800
"Now Pleiades number two, attack Astral directly!" Pleiades did just that, erasing over half of Astral's Life Points.
Astral: 3800 – 2500 = 1300
"Oh no Astral!" Yuma said as Astral was sent flying.
"Now, I end my turn with a face down." Estrella said.
Astral stood up. "I was a fool to just focus on defense. What I need is an offense that can take out both of Estrella's Pleiades in these next turn, or else I'm finished on her next turn. Now I draw!" Astral drew his card. "Yes!" Astral said as he held his card. "I play the spell Gagaga Summons!" The spell played pictured two monster silhouettes being throw into the Graveyard by Gagaga Magician and Gagaga Girl. "This card allows me to send two monster cards from my hand to the Graveyard, then I can Summon two Gagaga monsters from my deck!" Astral sent his two Gogogo monsters to the Grave, then drew two Gagagas. "I summon out Gagaga Girl, and Gagaga Sister!" Astral brought out a familiar and a new face, the new monster was a child with blonde hair and a pink outfit, plus a large key. The child could be the actual younger sister of Gagaga Girl.
Gagaga Girl: Level 3/DARK/Spellcaster/1000 Atk/800 Def
Gagaga Sister: Level 2/DARK/Spellcaster/200 Atk/800 Def
"And now I activate Sister's ability! She can combine her and another Gagaga monster's Levels! So by combining hers with Gagaga Girl's, the both become Level 5!"
Gagaga Girl and Gagaga Sister: Level 5
"Do it Astral!" Yuma said, knowing what he was about to do.
"I Overlay my two Level 5 Gagagas! With these two monsters I can now build the Overlay Network!" The two girls turned into elemental energy and vanished into the Network.
"I XYZ SUMMON NUMBER 61: VOLCASAURUS!"
The sealed Number appeared and revealed itself to be the volcanic dinosaur.
Number 61 Volcasaurus: Rank 5/FIRE/Dinosaur/2500 Atk/1000 Def
"So, you finally brought out a Number." Estrella said.
"Yes, this was the first Number Yuma and I recovered in the world. It is very meaning full to us. And now I activate the special ability of Gagaga Girl! When she is used for an Xyz Summon with another Gagaga, one of your monster's attack points drop to zero! CELPHONE SUBTRACTION!" A spirit version of Gagaga Girl appeared and tapped her cell, and pointed it at one of Estrella's Pleiades, and its attack points dropped.
Pleiades Atk: 0
"Impressive." Estrella said nonchalantly. "I could take massive damage from an attack, if I didn't have the trap Constellar Harness!" The trap showed two Constellar Pleiades and one Hyades and a large ring of stars surrounding them, and etheric light under them. "It makes all my Constellars' attack the same as the one with the highest attack points!"
Pleiades Atk: 2500
Astral smiled. "Oh, you're still taking heavy damage, with Volcasaurus's special ability! Once a turn it can use an Overlay Unit to destroy one monster on the field and you take damage equal to the destroyed monster's attack points! MAGMA MAX!" Volcasaurus absorbed an Overlay Unit and blasted magma at one on the Pleiades.
Estrella: 4000 – 2500 = 1500
"Now my Number can attack your other Pleiades!" Astral said as his monster did just that.
"And even though our monsters are evenly matched, since Pleiades isn't a Number, your Volcasaurus isn't destroyed!" Estrella said as her last monster was destroyed.
"And with that I end my turn!" Astral said confidently.
"Alright Astral!" Yuma said. "You're on fire!"
Estrella laughed. "Sorry, but it'll take more than one Number to defeat me! DRAW!" Estrella drew her card. "I Summon Constellar Sombre!" Estrella summoned a female warrior with wings and had the same Constellar crest and cape.
Cosntellar Sombre: Level 4/LIGHT/Fairy/1550 Atk/1600 Def
"And it has a very special ability! See once a turn Sombre allows me to banish a Constellar from my Graveyard, like Sheratan, I can return another Consteller to my hand, like my Algiedi!" Estrella did just that. "And best of all, when I use this ability, I'm allowed to Summon it as well!" Estrella Summoned out her second female warrior.
'Something isn't right here. If she still has one Pleiades left in her deck, which she most likely does, why didn't she summon out Kaus, which would allow her to summon it?' Astral thought.
"I know what you're thinking Astral: I most likely have another Pleiades to bring out, and if I used Sombre's ability to bring back Kaus, I could have used it to raise both their Levels to 5 I could bring out Pleiades. Then with its ability I could send your Number back and attack you directly." Estrella laughed. "See, I'm already three steps ahead of you! You taught me that Astral! Now I Overlay my Sombre and Algiedi!" Estrella did that, sending both of them into the golden portal.
"I XYZ SUMMON CONSTELLAR PRAESEPE!"
Estrella's new monster was a metal warrior with some bee like characteristics, like the hives on its shoulders, and the honey colored energy that flowed through its body, and like the previous Xyz Monsters, it too had wing like cape with a red space background.
Constellar Praesepe: Rank 4/LIGHT/Machine/2400 Atk/800 Def
"Whoa, it's a new Xyz!" Yuma said.
"Correct human. And due to my Star Chart, I get to draw a card!" Estrella drew her card. "I activate Xyz Treasure! For every Xyz Monster on the field, I get to draw a card! So with two monsters, that means two cards!" Estrella drew her two cards. "Now I activate the power of the spell Overlay Break!" Estrella played her card on the field. "See, this card gets rid of your Volcasaurus's final Overlay Unit, but the best part is that this until the end of this turn your Number loses its special Number ability!" The card on her field blasted Volcasaurus's Overlay Unit, and doing so sent shock waves to Astral's monster, weakening it.
"Meaning it can be destroyed by a non-Number!" Astral said.
"Oh come on, did you honestly think that after all these centuries I wouldn't have a card in my deck that would allow me to destroy Number?! Don't forget, the Barian Emperors' Barian Numbers have the same battle ability, so I needed a way to destroy them!" Estrella smiled. "Now, Praesepe, attack and destroy Astral's Number!"
"Hold on, even though my Number can now be destroyed by any monster, your monster still has slightly lower attack point!" Astral then gasped. "Unless-!"
"I activate Praesepe's special ability! During battle any of my Costellars can gains 1000 attack points at the price of an Overlay Unit! GO DRONE POWER UP!" Praesepe absorbed an Overlay Unit into one of its blade like hands.
Praesepe Atk: 2400 + 1000 = 3400
"Oh no, it's stronger than Volcasaurus!" Yuma said.
"Finish that Number Praesepe! STAR STING!" Praesepe stuck its blade through and through Volcasaurus, causing it to explode in flames, sending Astral on back.
Astral: 1300 – 900 = 400
Praesepe Atk: 3400 – 1000 = 2400
"And with that, I'll end my turn." Estrella said. "Hah! See, this is why I didn't summon out another Pleiades. It is so much more satisfying being able to destroy a Number card! One more attack and I'll finish you! Then, you'll have to return to Astral World with me. Or has your time with this human made your word worthless?"
"Enough!" Astral said as he stood up. "I will not have you talk about Yuma that way! He is my friend and as much as he's learned from me, I've learned from him as well! Like being able to feel the FLOW!" Astral drew his card.
"Did you say, 'Feel the flow'?" Estrella asked. She looked at the human child more closely and realize who he was. "Oh of course! How could I not see it before?! You are the spitting image of Kazuma Tsukamo!" Estrella said.
Yuma gasped. "Wait, how do you know my father?!" Yuma yelled.
"So I'm right, you are Kazuma's offspring! I'm an idiot for not realizing it sooner! Not only do you look like him, but it was he who sent Astral to this accursed world!"
"What?!" Astral and Yuma said in unison.
"Oh yes. Somehow a couple of years ago Kazuma found his way to our world and we treated him as a guest. Then about a year ago several of our people begun to disappear, we tried to find them but to no avail. Then when we realized Astral disappeared, and when we found his location a dimensional portal opened and suck Astral in it! And the only one who was there when it closed was Kazuma, leaving no doubt that he is the one who sent you to this world Astral!" Estrella explained.
Yuma and Astral looked at each other. It all made sense how Yuma key, the very one he got from his father, was the key to open the door that let Astral into this world.
"I see from your reactions that neither of you knew about this." Estrella said.
"Well how could I?! My father has been gone for 5 years, and the last place I would think to look was Astral's homeworld!" Yuma said.
"Yuma, I get you must want answers from her, but please, let me continue." Astral said to Yuma.
Alright Astral, but as soon as you kick her ass I want some answers!"
"Understood! Now to resume my play I Summon Gagaga Ganbara Knight!" Astral brought out the no attack point knight.
Ganbara Knight: Level 4/LIGHT/Warrior/0 Atk/1800 Def
"And since Ganbara is Level 4, I can bring out Kagetokage!" Astral summoned out the shadow lizard.
Kagetokage: Level 4/DARK/Reptile/1100 Atk/1500 Def
"Now I Overlay Level 4 Ganbara Knight and Kagetokage!" Astral's two monsters turned to light and dark attributes and went into the Network.
"I XYZ SUMMON NUMBER 39: UTOPIA!"
The signature monster of Yuma came out to fight, only this time for a different master.
Utopia: Rank 4/LIGHT/Warrior/2500 Atk/2000 Def
Estrella looked at the monster, and could sense great power emitting from the Number.
"Now, before I attack, I'll activate the power of the same spell you used; Xyz Treasure! Meaning I get to draw one card for each Xyz Monster!" Astral drew two cards since there were two Xyz out. "And now Utopia, attack Praesepe! RISING SUN SLASH!" Utopia drew its sword and held it high above his head.
Estrella smiled. "Not so fast! I use my Praesepe's ability! That's right, it can use its special ability on either player's turn! GO DRONE POWER UP!" Estrella's monster used its final Overlay Unit and glowed with power.
Praesepe Atk: 2400 + 1000 = 3400
"Even though it's a Number you will still take 900 points of damage! With that you lose Astral!" Estrella said.
"Not so fast! Utopia too has a special ability that activates during battle; by using an Overlay Unit he can stop any attack, including his own!" Utopia absorbed an Overlay Unit into its chest, and his sword turned to light and vanished.
Praesepe Atk: 3400 – 1000 = 2400
"Hmm, impressive counter measure!" Estrella said.
"I hereby end my turn!" Astral said.
"I must say Astral; this has been quite an interesting Duel. Unfortunately, this Duel end now! I forgo my draw in order to activate the additional effect of my Rank Up Magic Astral Force in my Graveyard!" Estrella said.
"No way!" Yuma and Astral said.
"Oh yes, see instead of drawing this turn," The Grave portal opened and a card flew out and into Estrella's hand. "I can return Astral Force to my hand." Estrella revealed the card, showing that it was true.
"With an ability like that, that card can allow you to Rank Up numerous times!" Astral said.
"Quite right Astral. See, this is what the order of Astral World creates! Limitless order! This is why we need to purge the universe of Barian! They can only Rank Up once, while we can Rank Up infinitely! Now, I utilize Rank Up Magic Astral Force again! I can now use my Rank 4 Constellar Praesepe to Xyz Summon a Rank 6 Xyz Monster! I Overlay my Rank 4 Praesepe!" Estrella's monster turned to light and went back into the golden portal.
"GO ORDER XYZ EVOLUTION! I XYZ SUMMON MY MOST POWERFUL MONSTER! APPEAR THE GEAT AND MIGHTY CONSTELLAR PTOLOMY M7!"
A large ball of light appeared, then when it faded, a large metal dragon appeared, it had the Constellar crest on its chest plate, and had large wings with a vision of space in it. It gave a large and mighty roar that caused creaks in the dome that surrounded them, then the creaks vanished as the dragon's roar ended.
Constellar Ptolomy M7: Rank 6/LIGHT/Machine/2700 Atk/2000 Def
"Wow..." Yuma said as he saw the colossal beast.
"Hmm. I could win this Duel right now with this one monster, but where's the fun in that?" Estrella held her right hand into the air, and it glowed with light.
Astral felt uneasy about this, as if he knew what was coming next.
Estrella smiled. "Due to Constellar Star Chart, I'm allowed to draw a card." Estrella then placed her glowing hand on the top card in her deck, then it became coated in light. "SHINING DRAW!" As Estrella drew her card, a stream of light trialed it.
"What was that?" Yuma asked Astral.
"I… I think that Estrella should explain…" Astral said cautiously.
"Oh right, you don't remember this!" Estrella said. "This is Shining Draw. See, powerful beings such as us can perform this, which allows us to draw any card we desire from our deck when we draw, and those who are extremely powerful can even create a whole new card entirely!" Estrella said.
Astral and Yuma were in shock. "That's impossible!" Yuma yelled.
"Oh I assure you it's not! Now, I play the spell Constellar Reignite!" The Spell reviled Constellar Hyades and Pleiades standing in front of a supernova. "With this card I can sent two Constellar Xyz Monsters from my extra deck to the Graveyard!" Two cards manifested into her hand. "I send my third Pleiades and second Hyades to the Graveyard." A small Grave portal opened next to her, and she held her arm out and dropped to two cards in, then the portal closed. "But in doing so, I get to revive one of each of my Xyz Monsters with the same name from my Graveyard!" A graveyard portal opened on either side of she, and out of one came out Hyades, and out of the other one of her Pleiades came out.
Hyades Atk: 1900
Pleiades Atk: 2500
Estrella snickered. "You know what makes me one of the most powerful Duelist in Astral World? It's my ability to Rank Up without the need of a Rank Up Magic card!"
Astral and Yuma gasped. What Estrella was saying sounded impossible, then again, they did just witness her being able to drawn any card she chooses.
"Yes. See, my Ptolomy M7 possesses the ability to be summoned via another Constellar Xyz Monster. Whether it be a close Rank 5 Pleiades, or a low Rank 3 Hyades, I can summon a Ptolomy M7 with either one of them!" She then smiled big. "But why use either when I can use both!" Estrella's two monsters turned into light and danced around Estrella before going into the golden Overlay Network.
"I XYZ SUMMON MY OTHER TWO POWERFUL AND GREAT PTOLOMY M7S!"
"Two more identical dragons appeared on either side of the first one, and each just as powerful as the first one.
(2X) Constellar Ptolomy M7: Rank 6/LIGHT/Machine/2700 Atk/2000 Def
"Oh my…" Astral said azs he faced the three powerful dragons.
Estrella laughed. "Oh, I almost forgot! See, when I Summon out Ptolomy M7 this way, I can't use its other special ability. But, since my first Ptolomy M7 was Summoned with Astral Force, I can use its special ability! See, once a turn I can use an Overlay Unit to return any monster on the field or in any player's Grave to their hand. I choose Utopia! COSMIC RETURN!" The Ptolomy M7 in the middle, right above Estrella, ate its only Overlay Unit and all the stars in its wings turned bright, essentially blinding Yuma and Astral. Then when the light faded, Utopia was gone.
"Oh no!" Yuma said as Astral was defenseless.
Estrella smiled big. "Now I will take you out with all three of my Ptolomy M7s! This Duel is over Astral! You fought bravely Astral, but it was not meant to be! STAR STREAM DESTRUCTION!" All three Ptolomy M7s shot blasts of star light at Astral.
"Watch out Astral!" Yuma said.
Astral turned to Yuma. "it's okay Yuma. This Duel is far from over! I activate the trap Gogogo Magic!" The trap showed Gogogo Golem and two stone hands and a ghost like Gogogo monster being banished through the green banishment portal, and the spell Monster Reborn flying in the opposite direction. "I can banish two Gogogo monsters from my Graveyard to activate a spell card from my hand during your turn! I activate Swords of Burning Light!" Five swords came falling from the sky and then then became encased in blue fire. "As long as I have this card, you can't attack!" The light blasts then vanished once they got past the line of burning swords.
"Argh. You just don't know when to quit! Fine be that way! Just know that my two other Potolomy M7's will gain their abilities back! So any monsters you summon will be sent back, not to mention with Shining Draw I bring out any card I desire! I end my turn with one card face down!" Estrella set her card. "But why bother drawing a card when we both know the outcome! See, I have three powerful monsters on the field, and I can send up to two back on your field! Face it, there's no way you will win!"
"She's gotta point Astral. You need to take her out this turn, or else, you'll lose…" Yuma said.
Astral looked at him and smiled. "Don't worry Yuma, I will beat her!" Astral looked at Estrella. "See, she's made a critical mistake!"
"Oh really?" Estrella said sarcastically. "And what would that be?"
"Simple. You've reminded me of the fact that I'm capable of winning this Duel!" Astral held his hand up high and it began to glow.
"Alright Astral!" Yuma said encouragingly.
"Oh no!" Estrella said. 'He shouldn't be able to us that right now! This is bad for me!' Estrella thought.
Astral put his hand on his card. "SHINING DRAW!" Astral shouted as he drew the card. He looked at it and gasped. The card he drew wasn't in Yuma's deck, which he memorized, in fact, the card he drew didn't exist before, until he just drew it, and it was the very card that would assure him victory. "I summon Gagaga Magician!" Astral summoned out Yuma's favorite magician.
Gagaga Magician: Level 4/DARK/Spellcaster/1500 Atk/1000 Def
"And next I play Monster Reborn! This allows me to bring back Gagaga Girl!" The Grave portal opened, and out came the blonde sorcerous.
Gagaga Girl: 1000 Atk
"Are you serious?!" Estrella yelled. "You have three other Level 4 monsters in your Graveyard, not to mention you could Summon a monster from my own Graveyard. But why a Level 3 monster?" Estrella said, confused by Astral's strategy.
Astral smiled. "The reason is Gagaga Girl's ability."
"Yeah, I know about the Xyz ability, but your two Gagagas are different Levels so you can't Overlay them!" Estrella said.
"Oh but Gagaga Girl has another special ability! See, she can change her Level to that of Gagaga Magician's!"
"What?!" Estrella exclaimed, knowing what was coming next. 'Even if he tries that attack decrease move again, I still have a counter for it.' She thought.
Gagaga Girl: Level 4
"And now I Overlay Level 4 Gagaga Magician and Gagaga Girl!" Astral said as his two monsters Overlayed with each other.
"I ONCE AGAIN XYZ SUMMON NUMBER 39: UTOPIA!"
The warrior once again came out on the battlefield, this time ready to win.
Utopia: 2500 Atk
"And now the special ability of Gagaga Girl kicks in!" Astral said as one of Estrella's Ptolomy M7s lost power.
Ptolomy M7 Atk: 0
"Not so fast Astral! I activate another copy of Constellar Harness! Raising my Ptolomy M7's attack points back to 2700!" Estrella said as her Ptolomy regained power.
Ptolomy M7 Atk: 2700
"Sorry Astral, but now your Utopia can't defeat any of my monsters!" Estrella said.
Astral just smiled. "Then I guess I need to evolve Utopia."
Estrella gasped. "Oh no. Is the card he drew a Rank Up Magic?!" Estrella thought.
"By combining Utopia with its Overlay Units, Utopia can further evolve itself!" Utopia returned to its sealed form and went back into the Overlay Network. Astral looked at Yuma, who smiled back. The two said the summoning chant together.
"GO, CHAOS XYZ EVOLUTION! ARISE CHAOS NUMBER 39: UTOPIA RAY!"
Out of the Network came the evolved form of Utopia, a warrior with that assures it masters victory when summon.
Utopia Ray: Rank 4/LIGHT/Warrior/2500 Atk/2000 Def
"A Chaos monster?!" Estrella said. She looked at the human and snarled. "You! You've infected Astral with Chaos! Do you have any idea of what you've done?!" Estrella yelled at Yuma.
"What I've done is help Astral!" Yuma said. "When he first showed up, he was just like a robot, no emotions. But since then, he's learned to laugh and have fun, and to hope! And he's taught me how to be a better Duelist. We are friend, and nothing you can say or do will ever change that! Together Astral and I will high five the sky!" Yuma preached.
Estrella just starred and processed what Yuma said. She then shook her head. "Exactly! Before being sent here by your father, Astral was the perfect soldier! Together he and Eliphas, the Will of Astral World, purged our world of Chaos! Astral selflessly took him on and defeated him! No wonder he didn't want to come back! You've infected him with Chaos and that's caused him to forget his true mission!"
"And what is my true mission?" Astral asked.
"If you have to ask, you clearly are more infected than I thought! Your mission is engrained into your being, impossible to forget! For that to happen you must be heavily infected!" Estrella said. "It's his destiny to destroy Barian World, and if he needs to be brought back by Eliphas himself then so be it!"
Astral just shrugged this off. "The future isn't set in stone. It can change at any moment, like right now!" Astral played the spell he drew with Shining Draw onto the field, which showed Utopia Ray emitting a golden aura. "I equip Utopia Ray with Utopian Radiance! It equips onto to a Utopia monster, then whenever the equipped monster's special ability affects one of your monster, it affects all of them!"
"What?!" Estrella said with worry.
"Utopia Ray can use one Overlay Unit to increase his power by 500 and erase 1000 attack points from one of your monsters!" Astral said as Utopia Ray started to lift its large sword.
"And with Utopian Radiance, all my Ptolomy M7s will lose 1000 attack points!" Estrella said.
"Oh, a lot more than that! See, Utopia Ray can use more than one Overlay Unit at a time with this ability! So by using all three Overlay Units Utopia Ray can gain 1500 attack points, making it a total of 4000 attack points, and decreasing and of your Ptolomy M7s' attack points by 3000, essentially making them powerless! OVERLAY CHARGE!" Utopia Ray absorbed its three Overlay Units, and when it did, an aura was released, draining the power from all of Estrella's metallic dragons.
Utopia Ray: 2500 + 1500 = 4000
(3X) Ptolomy M7 Atk: 0
"Oh no, I'm screwed!" Estrella said as her most powerful monsters became useless.
"Oh you're beyond that! See, Utopian Radiance has an additional affect!" The Graveyard portal opened underneath Utopian Radiance, and the card destroyed itself and went into it. "By sending this card to the Graveyard, the Utopia monster it was equipped to can now attack each of your monsters once this turn!" A light shined from the portal and a ray of light came out and circled Utopia Ray before entering its chest. Utopia Ray then became surrounded in red, radiant energy as it held all three of its swords in the air.
Estrella stood paralyzed in the over whelming power she was facing. "This isn't possible…"
Yuma and Astral stood side by side as they gave Utopia Ray the order to attack in unison. "Go Utopia Ray! RISING SUN RADIANT CHAOS SLASH!" Utopia Ray slashed each of the Ptolomy M7s, the last one right down the middle with his middle sword.
The three monsters then exploded, sending Estrella flying. "NOOO!" Estrella yelled as she we just defeated.
Estrella: 1300 – 12000 = 0 (LOSE)
WINNER: Astral
Estrella was sent flying into the dome, embedding her high up. "No, NO! How could I have lost?! My strategy was flawless!" Estrella yelled.
Astral looked up, and floated towards her. "Maybe your planed would have worked on the old Astral, but I'm a different person than you remember." Astral out stretch his hand towards Estrella, and she took it.
The two of them floated towards the ground, then Estrella let go of Astral. "How did you do it? I mean, you've beaten me before, but never by that much. How did you do it?" Estrella asked.
"Simple. It's because of Yuma. With each Duel we both grow and learn things. You say Yuma has infected me with Chaos, instead he has helped me improve myself as a person."
Estrella thought about this. "Maybe..." She said to herself. "Well, I live by my word and since you won, you get to stay if you please."
Yuma then walked up to Estrella. "Estrella, please tell me about my dad." Yuma asked.
Estrella exhaled. "Fine. After Astral's disappearance he vanished. We have no way of knowing where he went. And believe me, every effort has been made to find him. But no luck, it's as if he disappeared off the face of Astral World." Estrella said.
"Oh…" Yuma said, expecting more about his father.
Estrella looked at Astral. "Are you sure you don't want to come back with me?" Estrella asked.
Astral looked at Yuma, and then back at Estrella. "No, I don't. No matter what, nobody will make me leave my friend."
Estrella clinched her fist. "Fine. I can clearly see that this human…" Estrella bit her lip. "I mean, Yuma, has made you more powerful. I mean, look!" Estrella said as she pointed towards the area that she was blasted into. "If being with this human really gives you that kind of power, then I can respect your decision." Estrella held out her hand, and the card that she imbedded into the ground earlier came out of the ground and back into her hand, then the dome started to dissolve. "I bid you farewell, Astral, Yuma." A portal opened behind her and she went through it.
"Goodbye Estrella." Astral said as the dome completely disappeared.
Then Yuma he had gotten a call on his Duel Gazer. "Oh, I got a call from Tori." Yuma scrolled down the screen, and saw that he had gotten quite a few calls actually. Then he got a fresh call from Tori. "Oh boy." Yuma answered it. "Hello?"
"FINALLY! WHY HAVEN'T YOU BEEN ANSWERING MY CALLS?!" Tori yelled so loud that Yuma's ears were ringing.
"GAHH! Quite down Tori! I can't afford to be deft! I was in a battle! Well Astral was in a battle actually…" Yuma then explained what happened.
In other parts of Heartland, other Duelists were battling as well…
By the docks three workers were challenging a girl, Mayura, to a Duel. While they were able to summon powerful monsters, they only had small amount of Life Points left while Mayura had all hers.

Mayura's Field:
Unknown Monster
Mayura's Turn:
Mayura didn't have a normal Duel Disk or Duel Gazer. First, she had six metal claw like braces that come together, making it look like three, they connected on the top on a large green gem where several peacock feathers sprouted out, looking like tail feathers, and on the end facing her wrist was metal shaped like a bird's head, holing her deck. She had a green Duel Gazer tattoo shaped like a typhoon, and her iris was bright blue.
She giggled as she drew her card. "Three powerful monsters, and yet none of you have managed to put even a dent in Life Points. Attack these pathetic weaklings Pavonis." Mayura addressed her monster behind her. I was the green silhouette of peacock. The peacock gave a loud screech and revealed its tail feathers. Then several of its feathers flew up and the peacock blew its feathers in a gust tunnel of wind, creating a circulating vacuum, causing the three WATER monsters to be sliced by its sharp feathers repeatedly, until there was nothing left, and even causing scratches on the Duelists as well.
Opponent 1: 500 – 500 = 0 (LOSE)
Opponent 2: 400 – 400 = 0 (LOSE)
Opponent 3: 700 -700 = 0 (LOSE)

Mayura laughed as she saw her opponents wincing in pain from their massive cuts. "That's right fools, those aren't virtual cuts, they are very much real."
Terra was battling four pro Duelist, each of which had a powerful monster out, only they themselves were hanging on by a thread.
Current Status of Duel:
Opponent 1: 600 Life Points

Unknown Monster
Terra's Turn:
Terra had a large bronze gauntlet for a Duel Disk, the tips covering her fingers were curved like claws, and had a double ended bald on top with a large yellow gem in the center, and a metal container on her wrist that held her deck. On the left side of her face was a Duel tattoo shaped like a yellow cross, and her iris was light blue.
Terra smiled as she reached for her deck, her tattoo and eyes glowed. "I draw!" Terra took her card. "It's funny, I thought that that at least one of you champions would put up a decent fight, but even when all four of you come at me, even with not just Xyz, but Fusion, Synchro, and even a dreaded Ritual Monster, you still can't touch me. HAH! End this pathetic excuse of a Duel Quetzalcoatl!" Terra held her hand up, signaling her monster to make its move. Her monster was a yellow/gold silhouette of a serpent like monster with wings. Its eyes glowed, then it flew up into the air and the sky turned dark as it let out a terrifying roar. Then right above each of the four monsters lightning bolts striked each of the monsters, frying them until they were ash, and as they were being blasted, shocks also hit their respective Duelist, electrocuting them.
Opponent 1: 600 – 600 = 0 (LOSE)
Opponent 2: 300 – 300 = 0 (LOSE)
Opponent 3: 800 – 800 = (LOSE)
Opponent 4: 400 – 400 = (LOSE)
WINNER: Terra
Terra exhaled with pleasure. "That never gets old…" She looked at her four victims, bodies spasming from the electric shock, real electric shock. She walked passed them with a look of pleasure on her face.
In the pipe yard where Scorch and Chills Dueled Yuma and Alito, and held Amber captive, Millennia was Dueling gang members, and she was completely in control of the Duel.
Current Status of Duel:
Opponent 1: 300 Life Points
Opponent 2: 500 Life Points

Millennia: 4000 Life Points
Opponents' Field: EMPTY!
Millennia's Field:
Unknown Monster
Millennia's Turn:
Millennia was using her mask as a substitute for a Duel Gazer, and her Duel Disk was connected to a small gold arm bracelet, and the Disk was shaped like gold butterfly wings and had one red gem on each end, and in the thin center was a red eye, and had a small case on the bracelet that held her cards.
Millennia drew her card and smiled. "You know, scum like you is what really gets me going! Cleansing the planet of garbage and using it as fuel is… exquisite!" Millennia licked her lips, as if preparing to eat. "Put these worthless people out of their misery King Leo." Millennia pointed at the three gang members. Behind her was the red silhouette of a lion. The lion gave a ferocious roar and charged at the poor souls. The lion scratched two of the gang members, badly, and bite the middle one, fiercely, leaving all three of them bleeding, real blood.
Opponent 1: 300 – 300 = 0 (LOSE)
Opponent 2: 500 – 500 = 0 (LOSE)
Opponent 3: 400 – 400 = 0 (LOSE)
WINNER: Millennia
After the Duel, Millennia approached the three gang members.
"You… bitch!" One member said as blood came out of his mouth.
"How is this… possible?" Another member said as he touched his wounds.
"This was… just a… game…" The last member, the one with the most damage said.
Millennia laughed. "Oh, you think this was just a game? Was that just a game to those kids who's decks you stole? Was that just a game to them? Or that girl Amber who was drugged and nearly killed here by your leaders?" Millennia pointed at them. "She wasn't even a part of their initial down fall! While I can't undo the damage your gang has caused, I can make sure you all never hurt anyone ever again!" Behind her mask you could see her eye glow, then the light covered the whole mask and the blinded the Pack members, who shouted in pain as light surrounded them.
In a dark alley Eclipsa was challenging a Number Holder.
Current Status of Duel:
Number Holder: 400 Life Points
Eclipsa 3600 Life Points
Number Holder's Field:
Number 74: Master of Blades: Rank 7/EARTH/Psychic/2700 Atk/2300 Def
Eclipsa's Field:
Unknown Monster
Eclipsa's Turn:
She had a platinum blade like Duel Disk with a large purple gem in the center, and had a platinum case for her deck on her wrist, and it was wall connected to a platinum arm bracelet that had one side extend towards her elbow. Like the others of her group, she had a Duel tattoo and her iris was a lighter blue, but her tattoo was over her right eyes instead due to her hair covering her left eye.
"Draw!" Eclipsa drew her card. "This charade has run its course. You fought valiantly, but you had no chance from the start. End this Duel and bring me that Number Enchantress." Eclipsa looked at her monster. It was the silhouette of a humanoid figure, feminine, in a dress, seemed to be wearing a hat, and had a closed umbrella hanging from its arm. It then held up the umbrella and opened it, and the round top of it glowed purple. It then twirled the umbrella around and pointed it at Master of Blades, then a blast of dark energy hit it, and destroyed it and send its Holder back.
Number Holder: 400 – 400 = 0 (LOSE)
WINNER: Eclipsa
Eclipsa walked up towards the Number Holder and outstretched her hand and it turned to shadow, her fingers became claws, and then her hand stretched out and embedded deep into the Number Holder, who yelled in pain. When Eclipsa pulled her shadow hand out it had a Number in it. "Hah! This is so much more fun than having Pawns do all the work for us!" The Number then vanished, as did the monster behind her. She took her left hand and slowly moved it from the top of her right ear to the tips of her left bangs, her Duel tattoo vanished.
She took the same hand and reached into between her inner and outer shirt and pulled out a picture. It was of a little blonde girl around 9, her, and a much younger Yuma, both siting on a bench in the park, the very park Yuma meet Astral in when he crossed over. "Oh Yuma. I think it's time we had that reunion."

Author's Notes:
Hello dear readers! What a chapter! Did you all like the preview of Millennia, Terra, Mayura, and Eclipsa's monsters? It will be a while before we see them, or will it? You'll just have to wait and see. And what is the connection between Eclipsa and Yuma? What did Eclipsa even do Devon Knox last chapter? Everyone will just have to be patient.
And a reminder, I have a Bakugan Battle Brawlers story titled "Bakugan, Battle On" and you should check it out, and it will NOT take time away from this story. As you can see, I've enough time for two Zexal chapters, and the start of a new Bakugan story, so I have time on my hands, plus Brawls are so much easier to write than Duel, those who write fan Duels know what I'm talking about!
Also, reviews give me strength! A couple of reviews in my past chapters, both public and PM, have given me the confidence to write more. So if you're a fan of this story I suggest you click on that review box and start typing, please and thank you!
