Yuki's POV
After our little excursion to the ruins, where Yuma claimed the first Mythrian Number without too much of a fuss we went home. Surprising literally no one but Yuma that kid was Dumon but since we helped him not get killed by the ruins he let us leave without a fight.
For now we were back at home relaxing for a little bit.
"Hey Yuki?" Luna called out from the back "I think we got the wrong order."
"Why what's wrong?" I asked going to see "AH!"
I yelped a little bit when something was dangled in front of me, Luna chuckling at her surprise.
"Haha." I fake laughed.
"We just went into abandoned ruins the other day and that's what surprised you?" Cleo smirked.
"Look." Luna wiggled her fingers and made a little doll dance "We've got a box of puppets by mistake."
"Hmm, must have been a mistaken shipment from the toy company we order the cards and figures through." I noted "We'll have to send them back."
"We can't just sell them here?" Luna asked "Look they kinda remind me of the cards I won off that Quatro guy, the Gimmick Puppet Numbers."
"Someone else is waiting to sell these at their store." I said "It be wrong to keep them ourselves."
"Alright fine." She pouted.
"Look if you want one so bad go to the store and buy your own." I laughed.
Later
We had tracked down the next Mythrian number in a place called Spartan City so with a location in mind we headed out, the group this time was the same as before except Kite was with us.
"We would we even search for numbers in a city like this?" Tori asked.
"They'd probably be in ruins but I saw a lot when we landed, it'll take forever to search them all." I noted.
"Whoa!" Yuma was looking up at some advertising board "Look at this!"
"It's an advertisement for a Pro Duel Tournament." Kite looked at the board.
"You can't focus at all can you." Tori pouted.
"That's not it, look at that duelist on the top!" he pointed.
I looked up at the video of all the bizarrely costumed men "Hey it's that guy."
"Nistro." Kite hummed under his breath a bit.
"Aren't those costumes a bit much?" Luna asked.
"A lot of Pro-Duelists will adopt a persona to appeal to fans more." I explained.
"Seems this one is being a hero character so kids will support him." Cleo noted "Still if we have someone here that could be an ally we should see about meeting up with them, if they've been here for a time they might know where we can find the Number Ruins."
Later
Heeding Cleo's advice we went to the stadium to see the tournament and afterword used the autograph session to meet with Nistro, or I suppose it would be proper to call him by his stage name, Nistromo.
"Oh I want an autograph!" Yuma said.
"How old are you?" Luna sighed.
"It's you…" Dextra blinked.
"You're a pro, so cool." Yuma said.
"I guess I am." Nistro said smugly.
"Are you a pro too Dextra?" Tori asked.
"No, I'm his manager." She told her.
"I tried to get her to enter with me as a pair but she refused." Nistro said.
"I can't really imagine Dextra dressed up and dueling." I thought "Yeah bad image."
"It doesn't matter what she does, I want to be a star of hope for all the children out there." He told us.
"What exactly are you doing in this city?" Dextra asked.
"Looking for ruins housing a Mythrian number." I told her.
"Ruins…" Nistro thought on it "There are a lot them around here…"
"I wonder if the ruins you're looking for are in the Colosseum." Dextra said "There's a legend about the soul of a great gladiator wandering around the ruins."
"Well a haunted Ruin is the most likely place to find a magic card, guess we know where we're headed next." I shrugged.
