Luna's POV

Yuma faced off against Vetrix in the finals and despite winning still fell into a trap that let Dr. Faker steal all the numbers we had accumulated and Astral only able to save a few, notable my Number 22, Yuma's Utopia and Shark's Number 32. With seemingly everything falling apart, Astral's world and Kite's brother in danger we all decided to work together to finish this off. Yuki said she would deal with other things to help people while I stayed with the boys, it's still weird technically they're so much younger than me but we look the same age, it's weird I'm so much older now, but I still feel like it I look this old I might as well act it, a youthful and vibrant teenager.

"Okay, are you three gonna play nice?" I looked around a bit and laughed "We win the world is saved, we lose and the Astral world is destroyed, so let's go!"

It was gonna be four on one, so we needed to be on the same page. There was a bright spark of purple and pink light and once it cleared Dr. Faker was all cyborg like and half metal.

Is that a suit or what…?

"You will all share 4000 life points while I have a pool of 12000." Faker said taking the first turn "I use the effect of Garbage Ogre to send it from my hand to the Graveyard and add Garbage Lord to my hand, If I pay 1000 life points Garbage Lord can be special Summoned, so I pay 3000 life points to summon three Garbage Lords!"

Dr. Faker- 12000 to 9000 LP

Garbage Lord- LVL 5 ATK 0 DEF 2400

"What?" we all couldn't believe he summoned three monsters at once.

"In a normal duel that would have been reckless but here he has so much more life to work with." I sighed.

"It's coming." Shark warned.

"I overlay my three level 5 Garbage lords and XYZ summon the Number that stands about all others, Number 53 Heart-eartH!"

Number 53: Heart-eartH- RANK 5 ATK 100 DEF 100 OVRL 3

"It looks weak." I said.

"Then it's hiding an effect." Kite warned.

"My number is immune to Magic, Trap and Monster effects." Faker said "I set two cards and end my turn."

"Seriously?" I groaned "Yuma you go first."

Without missing a step Yuma summoned Utopia.

Number 39: Utopia- RANK 4 ATK 2500 DEF 2500 OVRL 2

"I play the trap Battle Route." Faker said "So long as I have a monster you must attack."

"He's planning something." I warned.

"Well I have to do it!" Yuma said "Utopia!"
"I trigger the effect of Heart-eartH." Faker said "I can equip a monster from my graveyard and it gains that much attack, I equip Grabage Ogre."

Heart-eartH- 100 to 2600 ATK

"Then I activate Utopia's ability to negate an attack!" Yuma stopped his own attack "Then I play Double or Nothing! since it's attack was negated Utopia can attack again with double the attack points!"

Utopia- 2500 to 5000 ATK

Utopia attacked, opening the way for us.

Faker- 9000 to 6600 LP

"I can remove Garbage Ogre as an equip to prevent my monster's destruction, but it's attack resets." Faker said.

Heart-eartH- 2600 to 100

"But it's other effect activates and inflicts damage and restores my life equal to half the difference in its original and boosted attack by detaching an Overlay Unit."

Heart-eartH- OVRL 3-2

Faker- 6600 to 7820 LP

Team Yuma- 4000 to 2750

"NGH!" I hissed as we took damage, my necklace glowing to keep us standing.

"I set a card." Yuma ended his turn.

"I'll go next." Shark stepped up and quickly summoned his number.

Number 32: Shark Drake- RANK 4 ATK 2800 DEF 2100 OVRL 3

And equipped Utopia with a spell that allowed him to lower Heart-eartH's attack. Since we shared a field we could attack with each other's monsters so Utopia attacked but Shark used Shark Fin to lower it's attack to zero and drop Heart-eartH's attack to 100 again. In the ensuing explosion of attacks we all lost life points when Faker took off more Overlay Units.

Team Yuma- 2750 to 1300 LP

Faker- 7850 to 5150 LP

"I'm going next." I drew my hand "I summon Buster Whelp and use it to Special Summon Buster Blader from my hand."

Buster Blader- LVL 7 ATK 2600 DEF 2300

"Now I play the spell Karma of the Destruction Swordsman with this I can banish Three monsters of the same type from your graveyard and gain 500 attack for wach banished, so I'm removing all three of your Garbage Lords."

Buster Blader- 2600 to 4100

"Now attack!"

One more Faker puller off his combo to raise attack on his monster.

Faker- 5150 to 3650

But then he detached Garbage lord again.

Faker- 3650 to 4900

I end my turn so Buster Blader's attack returns to normal." I said setting a card

I passed off to Kite who used his turn to quickly summon his Ace, Galaxy-Eyes.

Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon- LVL 8 ATK 3000 DEF 2500

Once more we drilled Faker with a ton of damage.

Faker- 4900 to 2200

But this time things were different, he used another effect to summon a different XYZ monster from his deck, Number 92 Heart-eartH Dragon and attack his old number as material.

Number 92: Heart-eartH Dragon- RANK 9 ATK 0 DEF 0 OVRL 1

Things were heating up fast, the real duel just beginning
