Luna's POV
"He's late." Tori pouted a bit.
"I'm sure Yuma's fine." I laughed her off "Just overslept."
Still with all the stuff that's been happening, Kite, that fortune teller, Number 96…I am a bit worried.
Yuma was late for school, nothing super shocking but, still a bit troublesome.
"Hmm?" I looked over and saw Shark, he seemed out of sorts "I'll catch up Tori."
I followed him outside, where I found him dueling Kite.
He want's Yuma's pendant…
I watched on and watched Shark lose and lose bad for someone of his skill level, but now I had seen Kite battle twice, so there was no more holding out for me.
"I can't let you leave." I said tying my hair up "You will duel me, for the Number Card I have, and Yuma's key, oh…you'll be giving me back Shark's soul too, that's not for a human like you to touch!"
The gems on my necklace glowed "Now come on!"
"You can't afford to duel now Master, you've used 85% of your Photon Mode." The robot with him said.
"I said don't run away." I hissed as he fell off the building and glided away.
"Drat." I sighed "But you can't escape me Divine Dome!"
I put up a barrier to stop him.
"We are dueling, even if you don't want to." I landed near him "This dome will keep your energy up if that's a problem."
I slid my Gazer on "Now let's duel."
"Fine." A strange mark appeared on his eye.
"I go first." I said drawing "I start with the spell Destruction Sword Fusion! This allows me to summon fusion monster with Buster Blader as a material so I'll fuse Buster Blader and King of the Swamp to summon Dark Paladin."
A blackened Dark Magician with a long spear appeared.
Dark Paladin- LVL 8 ATK 2900 DEF 2400
"A fusion…" Kite hummed "But Dark Paladin requires Dark Magician and Buster Blader."
"King of the Swamp can be a substitute in any fusion summon as long as the other materials are the right ones." I told him "Now I'll summon Buster Whelp of the Destruction Swordsman!"
Buster Whelp of the Destruction Swordsman- LVL 1 ATK 400 DEF 300
"When summoned this monster lets me add a Buster Blader monster to my hand, so I'll add another basic Buster Blader to my hand." I told him "I'll also play Emblem of the Dragon Destroyer to add a Buster Blader to my hand."
I have all three of my Buster Bladers around.
"I play Polymerization to fuse the Buster Blader in my hand with Buster Whelp and summon Buster Blader, the Dragon Destroyer Swordsman!"
Buster Blader, The Dragon Destroyer Swordsman- LVL 8 ATK 2800 DEF 2500
The only card left in my hand is Buster Blader…and he knows it.
"I end my turn." I lowered my eyes.
"Then it's my turn." He drew "It took long enough, I summon Reverse Buster!"
Reverse Buster- LVL 4 ATK 1500 DEF 0
Why summon a monster that can only attack face down monsters when I have two face up?
"I set one card." He told me "And end my turn…why are you doing this?"
"Dueling you?" I said drawing a card "I have to look out for Astral and Yuma, it's my job. Not to mention your Number Hunting steals souls, and I can't overlook that."
I must beat him.
"I play Sacred Sword of the Seven Stars." I said "I banish a Level seven monster in my hand or graveyard and draw two cards, so I'll lose my Buster Blader from my hand."
I drew two cards.
This can do it, I'll crush him right away!
"I play Level Tuning!" I smiled "It reduced the level of my face up monsters by one for this turn! Now with Dark Paladin and Buster Blader the Dragon Destroyer Swordsman I construct the overlay network to summon Number 74: Master of Blades!"
Number 74: Master of Blades- RANK 7 ATK 2700 DEF 2300 OVRL 2
I can't let him summon his Galaxy Eyes
"Master of Blades attacks Reverse Buster!" I said.
Kite did nothing, allowing me to destroy his monster and damage his life points.
Kite- 4000 to 2700 LP
"I end my turn." I told him.
"Good." He drew "I play Monster Reborn to revive Reverse Buster and then tribute it to summon Photon Leo!"
Photon Leo- LVL 6 ATK 2100 DEF 1100
A mechanical and energy shrouded Lion appeared.
"I equip it with Photon Spear." He told me "And then I set a card."
"My turn." I drew "Master of Blades Attacks Photon Leo!"
Kite- 2700 to 2100
"I trigger the trap Armored Back!" Kite smirked "If an monster I control has an equip card and is destroyed I can revive it from the graveyard and it can't be destroyed this turn."
Drat…
"I end the turn." I told him.
"Just stop wasting my time, give me the cards and I won't steal our soul with it." He told me looking at his hand.
"Why are you hunting the number cards, what do you need them for?" I asked.
"That's none of your business." He told me "Someone needs them more than I do."
"I see." I hummed.
"I summon Photon Circle." He told me summoning some strange wizard.
Photon Circle: LVL 4 ATK 1000 DEF 1000
"Since Photon Leo has Photon spear equipped it counts as two tributes, so I tribute it to summon Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon!"
A large black and blue energy dragon roared out.
Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon- LVL 8 ATK 3000 DEF 2500
"Galaxy-Eyes attacks Master of Blades!" he laughed "And I use his effect to banish both monsters and remove all XYZ material from the other banished monster!"
This isn't good…
My monster vanished into a glowing slipstream, leaving me open.
"Now Photon Circle attacks directly!" he commanded.
"GAH!" I yelped as a spear cut at me.
Luna- 4000 to 3000 LP
"The battle phase is over so our monsters returns, but Galaxy-Eyes gains 500 ATK from each XYZ material that was removed.
Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon- 3000 to 4000 ATK
"Since your monster has no overlay units I play Galaxy Storm to destroy it!" he laughed.
No…no…this is bad.
"My turn." I drew "Pot of Greed and Sacred Sword of the Seven Stars."
I drew more cards.
Can I…maybe yes I can escape from this duel!
"I start with Premature Burial!" I told him "I use it to revive Dark Paladin but take 800 life point damage as a result!"
Luna- 3000 to 2200
"Then I summon Buster Whelp of the Destruction Swordsman and use its effect to tribute it and revive Buster Blader form the Graveyard!"
My swordsman returned.
"I summon Dragon Buster Destruction Sword." I said playing one last monster.
Dragon Buster Destruction Sword- LVL 1 ATK 400 DEF 300.
"Now I tune my Dragon Buster and my Buster Blader to Synchro Summon Buster Dragon!" I yelled.
Buster Dragon- LVL 8 ATK 1200 DEF 2800
"Why are you prolonging the inevitable, you can't stop my Galaxy eyes." Kite said "You have no Number Card left, just surrender."
"I have no Number left?" I looked up "Are you so sure about that? The conditions are that they must be level eight dark attribute monsters! I overlay Level Eight Buster Dragon and Level Eight Dark Paladin to summon Number 22!"
The overlay swirl appeared and two hulking arms reached out to pull up a large giant cloaked man.
"Zombiestein!"
Number 22: Zombiestein- RANK 8 ATK 4500 DEF 1000 OVRL 2
"Now I use its effect, by detaching an overlay unit and discarding a card I can change a monster you control to defense mode and negate its effects!" I smiled "Galaxy-Eyes is now in defense mode!"
"Destroy Photon Circle!" I yelled "End this!"
I smashed his monsters but Kite took no damage due to his monster's effect.
"Drat…I set a card and end the turn." I told him.
I can escape this.
"It wasn't enough." Kite laughed "You're going to lose and both your Numbers will be mine! I change Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon to attack mode!"
"I trigger a trap!" I yelled "Ring of Destruction!"
The flaming ring latched onto my monster.
"I can't escape your Dragon here!" I said "But I can get out with a draw!"
The ring exploded, dealing 4500 damage to us both.
Kite- 2100 to 0 LP
Luna- 2200 to 0 LP
By the time the smoke had cleared Kite was gone, but the key had been returned.
It wasn't enough, even two number couldn't beat him…I need to keep refining my skills I guess.
