Vile: Sorry for the delay, everyone! This took way too long, but Vile's back, baby!

Kaito: What the hell took you so long?

Vile: My spark died on me for a while. I was struggling on how to end this, but I think I got something good. This is the first DH story to feature Yuma Dueling.

Yuma: I wondered when I would Duel in this, even though I'm the star Duelist in the Numbershots.

Vile: Oh, and for you fans of the pairings, there's a little Gagagashipping in here for ya. ;) Disclaimer's on the first story, OCs and bolded cards are mine. Enjoy, everyone!


Decks-hibition

Story 4: Gagagaclash

"Waaaaaaaahh!" A boy yelled as he was sent back, knocked to the ground as a result of losing a Duel. The Augmented Reality vanished, and his opponent took off his D-Gazer. The opponent walked up to him and swiped one of his cards off the ground.

"Thanks, wimp." The opponent, a 17-year-old boy with silver hair, brown eyes, and a brown-and-dark-red outfit, sneered.

"H-Hey! Don't take my card!" The loser whined, only to get a foot pinning him to the ground.

"Shut up. I beat you, so you're in no position to talk." The silver-haired boy said. "Your card is mine now." The boy then walked off without another word. As he rounded a card, he took another look at the card he took: Gagaga Imp. "Heh. Another Gagaga card for my collection." He pulled out another card. "Another victory for you." Then, a beeping noise went off. "What the? Another one located?" He pulled out a computer and saw the display. It showed a black-and-red-haired boy. "Yuma Tsukumo, eh? According to this, he has three Gagaga cards! *whistles*" Three cards came up on screen. "First is Gagaga Gardna. I've already got three of those, so he can keep that one. What else…? Tch. Gagaga Girl? What a crap card. Not even worth my time. What about the other- *gasps*" He stopped when he saw Gagaga Magician on the display. "This kid has… Gagaga Magician?" A growl came from him. "This is unacceptable. I'll have to deal with this kid…"

*Two Hours Later*

"Oh, don't lie, Tokunosuke! I creamed you in that Duel!" Yuma jeered to his short, bespectacled companion, the others listening with amused looks.

"Ah, but you failed to see the other side! If you hadn't destroyed my Trap Card, victory would have been mine, Ura!" Tokunosuke replied coolly, his arms behind his head. Hikaya giggled at him.

"You want a rematch to prove it, pal?" Yuma challenged, grinning.

"Anytime, anywhere, Ura!" Tokunosuke shot back.

Suddenly, they were separated by Tetsuo's big hands. "Break it up, you nutcases." He said. "Yuma's supposed to Duel me next!" Yuma turned his grin to Tetsuo, while Tokunosuke crossed his arms and "hmph"ed.

Out of nowhere, a flyer blew through the wind, and Shark caught it. "What the?" He read the flyer. "Arcane Card Shop just opened on Kikai Boulevard. No customers yet. A free promotional card to the first customer or customers.'"

"Promotional card? I'm all for that!" Yuma cried. "Let's go!" He quickly ran off in the direction of Kikai Boulevard.

"Mate (Wait), Yuma!" Kotori cried, rushing after him, the others following suit.

"A new card shop? Oh, man! More competition!" Hikaya groaned.

"Hey, at least there haven't been any customers yet!" Ariel told her.

"Something smells fishy about this. I haven't heard jack squat about this 'Arcane Card Shop' before today." Tetsuo said, skeptical.

"Me neither. You think it might be bogus?" Shark asked.

"Maybe. We'll see when we get there." The larger boy said. Eventually, the group made it to Kikai Boulevard and started looking around.

"You guys see this card shop anywhere?" Takashi asked.

"Nothing! Either we got played, or this shop is more obscure than my dad's!" Hikaya said.

Yuma then noticed something. "Hey guys, I think I found it!" He pointed to a small run-down building that had a sign on it. The sign said "Arcane Card Shop".

"That shack is a card shop?" Cathy asked, skeptical.

"It's worth a shot to check out, Ura." Tokunosuke mused. The group decided to check it out, opening the dusty door and going inside. When they got inside, it was very odd. There wasn't a single shelf on cards in the building.

"What kind of hoax is this?" Shark complained.

"Oi! Anyone in here?" Yuma called out.

Suddenly, a door creaked open from one end of the building. "Ah, yes… I've been expecting you Duelists…" Someone said from the other end. "Thank you for being the first customers to my store. I apologize for the rustic conditions, but I had to put the shelves back here. Please, come this way to receive your promotional cards." The door slowly shut again.

Yuma had a smirk on his face as he walked toward the door, but Kotori grabbed his hand. "Be careful, Yuma. Something's wrong here. It could be a trap." Yuma nodded and carefully opened the door, stepping inside. Only Kotori managed to step through with him before the door automatically slammed shut.

"What the hell?" Tetsuo groaned, twisted the knob, but it wouldn't open.

"Sorry, but only one spectator for this show!" A voice called out. All of a sudden, iron gates came down over the door. "Slap on those D-Gazers, friends! You'll need 'em!" Yuma and Kotori quickly put on their Gazers before a bright flash of light covered the area.

"What the heck?" Yuma cried as his vision was blinded. After a while, the light died down. An Augmented Reality was in place, giving the appearance of an odd field area, with multiple tall stands with candles, and gray clouds hovering ominously overhead. "Whoa… We're not even in a Duel, and the field changed this much!"

Kotori looked behind Yuma and suddenly squealed. "Uh, Yuma? Look behind you!"

"Eh?" Yuma looked behind him and was shocked. "WHOA!" Floating behind him were two of his signature monsters: Gagaga Magician and Gagaga Girl. Yuma did a double take of his wrist: His D-Pad was not active. "How the heck is this possible?" The two magicians looked at each other, an inquisitive look on Gagaga Girl's face.

"Glad you showed up, Yuma Tsukumo." A voice called out: The same one from earlier. A flash of lightning occurred, showing a new figure appearing: 17 years old, male, silver hair, brown eyes, and a brown-and-dark-red outfit.

"Who are you?" Yuma asked.

"My name is Karaan. You could say I'm a collector." The boy said. "I collect cards from other people that I desire: In other words, I win them. I made this special AR field myself. It basically displays any cards I'm after." He shot Yuma an evil smirk. "To be blunt… I want your Gagaga Magician card!"

"Nani?" Yuma gasped, as did both magicians.

"You don't have the skills needed to use that card. So once I beat you, I'm taking it off your hands!" Karaan said. Then he noticed Gagaga Girl and scowled. "Ugh… why is SHE visible?"

"You're not after Gagaga Girl, too?" Yuma asked.

"Hell no. That crap card is not worth my time. It's useless to me." Karaan deadpanned. A tic mark and scowl appeared on Gagaga Girl's face. "But enough banter. I'll give you the chance to just hand over your Gagaga Magician right now!"

"Forget it, creep! My Tou-chan gave me Gagaga Magician, and the only way you'll get it is if you can actually beat me!" Yuma said adamantly. Gagaga Magician crossed his arms and "hmph"ed in support.

"We'll see if you can back that up." Karaan said calmly. "Let's go!" Yuma nodded with a grin, both his magicians standing ready.

"Duel Disk, Set!" Both players activated their D-Pads, Karaan's being dark red. "D-Gazer, Set!" Karaan's D-Gazer was dark red with a blue lens.

"AR VISION, LINK ESTABLISHED." The voice from the Duel System said, both of their D-Gazers along with Kotori's flashing. "ESTABLISHING LINK BETWEEN A AND B." The area around them began to warp into the augmented reality.

"DUEL!"

Yuma LP:4000

Karaan LP:4000

"I'm going first! Ore no turn! Draw!" Yuma drew his card and grinned. "Well, whaddya know? Gagaga Girl, Shoukan!" The female magician giggled and jumped onto the field, giving a twirl and wink.

Gagaga Girl: Lv.3 DARK Spellcaster ATK:1000/DEF:800

"Ugh… why her?" Karaan said dully.

"Don't underestimate what she can do, Karaan." Yuma said, Gagaga Girl placing a hand on her hip. "I place one card facedown. Turn end!"

"Hmph. Ore no turn. Draw." Karaan drew his card and smirked. "Prepare for a surprise… that none of you will like." He picked a card from his hand. "Gagaga Magician, Shoukan!"

"Nani?" Yuma said, shocked, both his magicians gasping. A dark portal opened in the floor, and a figure rose to the field, head down and arms crossed as lightning flashed around it. It had the exact same appearance as Gagaga Magician… but its colors were nothing like it. Its normally blue clothing was white, the gold linings being green, and the red inside and scarf were black. The armor it wore was a dark gray, and the orange flames were replaced with electric blue lightning bolts. The chains around it were rusty and covered with spikes, and the gold piece was circular instead of rectangular, being black with white lines. The hair on it was blood red instead of the natural white. Gagaga Magician's eyes were wide as he realized what he was looking at, and Gagaga Girl was trembling. Then, the alternate magician moved its arms to the side, looking up at them with a blue eye with a black sclera. It let out a grunt that coincided with a lightning flash.

Gagaga Magician: Lv.4 DARK Spellcaster ATK:1500/DEF:1000

"Bakana… Another Gagaga Magician!" Yuma breathed.

"But it doesn't look a thing like yours, Yuma!" Kotori told him.

"You could say this is Gagaga Magician's dark side…" Karaan mused. "One that fully embraced the nature of his dark power." The darker magician chuckled.

"This is… unreal…" Yuma said. Gagaga Magician's wide eyes were replaced with a glare at the opposing magician, who had a smug (as far as could be seen) look on his face. Gagaga Girl was still scared, however.

"Hmph. Ore no Gagaga Magician no kouka hatsudo (My Gagaga Magician's effect activates)!" Karaan declared. "Once per turn, its Level can be changed to anywhere in the 1-to-8 range. I select Level 3!" Four of the white dots on the indicator darkened, then one lost its darkness.

Gagaga Magician: Lv.3

'It even works the same as me.' Yuma's Gagaga Magician thought.

"Gagaga Imp, Tokushu Shoukan!" A small orange-colored horned creature, the Gagaga emblem emblazoned on his chest, flipped onto the field. "Gagaga Imp is capable of being Special Summoned from my hand when the Level of a Gagaga monster is changed."

Gagaga Imp: Lv.3 DARK Fiend ATK:1100/DEF:900

"Ore wa Reberu San no Gagaga Magician to Gagaga Imp, Obarei (I Overlay Level 3 Gagaga Magician and Gagaga Imp)!" Both monsters turned fully purple and spiraled into the air. A red spiral portal opened up in the ground, and both monsters sailed inside. "Ni tai no monsuta de, Obarei Netwaaku kochiku (With these two monsters, I construct the Overlay Network). Ekushiizu Shoukan! Arawareyo, Gagaga Garuda!" From purple light, a white, purple, and red phoenix-like monster swooped onto the field, doing aerial flips. The Gagaga emblem was seen on both of its wings, and two purple Overlay Units orbited it.

Gagaga Garuda: Lv.3 DARK Winged Beast/Xyz ATK:2200/DEF:1700 2 Overlay Units

"A Gagaga Xyz Monster?" Kotori wondered.

"Senpai… what is that?" Gagaga Girl whimpered.

"Don't get scared. That beast is not the strongest we've seen." Gagaga Magician told her.

"It'll still be a bad thing for you. Gagaga Garuda no kouka hatsudo! Once per turn, by using an Overlay Unit, Garuda is prevented from destroying monsters by battle this turn, but in return, it gains 1000 Attack Points!" The phoenix chomped down on one of its Overlay Units and cawed loudly.

Gagaga Garuda ATK:3200 1 Overlay Unit

"Garuda, strike down that useless apprentice!" Purple fire cloaked the bird, then it darted straight toward Gagaga Girl, who was trembling. A scream came from her.

"Trap Card, Gagagarescue, activate!" Yuma flipped his facedown. "If a Gagaga monster I control is targeted for an attack, I can Special Summon a Level 4 below Gagaga monster from my hand or Deck, then negate the attack! Gagaga Magician, Tokushu Shoukan!" Out of nowhere, Gagaga Magician leapt in front of Gagaga Girl and crossed his arms, creating a magical force that prevented Garuda from progressing.

"Senpai!" Gagaga Girl gasped, surprised. Then, Gagaga Magician flung out his arms, knocking Garuda back to Karaan's field. Magician looked back at his apprentice and gave a thumbs-up and a small "Hmph", smiling behind his mouth guard. Gagaga Girl smiled, a blush beginning to come to her face.

Gagaga Magician: Lv.4 DARK Spellcaster ATK:1500/DEF:1000

"Oh, this is touching." Karaan said sarcastically. "Touching to the point that I'm about to gag. I place two cards facedown. Turn end."

Gagaga Garuda ATK:2200

"Ore no turn! Draw!" Yuma drew his card. "Gagaga Magician no kouka hatsudo! I change his Level to 3!" Four lights lit up on his charm, then one dimmed.

Gagaga Magician: Lv.3

"Ready?" Magician asked Girl. The female magician nodded with a smile.

"Hate to burst your bubble, Yuma, but your combo is about to crack." Karaan cut in.

"Eh?" Yuma said.

A grin came over Karaan. "Continuous Trap, Network Collapse, activate!" When the Trap flipped up, the ground beneath them began to go barren and slightly warped. "This is Part 1 of my ultimate combination. The Gagaga monsters can only realize their potential as a result of Xyz Summoning. But Network Collapse shatters that potential! As long as this card remains active, neither of us are allowed to Xyz Summon!" Both magicians recoiled in fear.

"Nani? No Xyz Summons?" Yuma cried.

"My Deck can counter the strongest cards of most Decks by completely sealing them off. It doesn't matter what Xyzs you're packing; none of them will even see the light of day!"

Yuma growled. "I've beaten people without Xyz Monsters before… so I can do it again! I switch Gagaga Magician and Gagaga Girl to Defense Mode!" Both magicians knelt down, Magician crossing his arms. "I place one card facedown! Turn end!"

Gagaga Magician: Lv.4

"Ore no turn. Draw!" Karaan drew his card. "Excellent. The second part has appeared. My combination is complete!"

"I don't like the sound of that!" Kotori whimpered.

"Continuous Magic, Free Pass, activate! This card can only be activated if I control only one Continuous Trap Card." A ticket flew out of the card, which Karaan caught. "But you see, as long as this card is active, the Continuous Trap in question no longer affects me!"

"You've gotta be kidding me!" Yuma cried.

"Now you're sealed off while I can Xyz Summon all I want! Your Gagaga Magician is mine for sure. Equip Magic, Gagagalance, activate!" An odd lance attached itself to Garuda's back. "Get this. As long as a Gagaga monster is equipped with this card, if it attacks a Defense Mode monster with less Defense Points than the attacker's Attack Points, the extra damage goes to you." Yuma groaned. "Gagaga Garuda no kouka hatsudo! It gains 1000 Attack Points, but can't destroy anything!" The phoenix chomped down on its Overlay Unit.

Gagaga Garuda ATK:3200 0 Overlay Units

"Garuda, attack Gagaga Magician now! Gagaga Dive!" Cloaked in purple fire, the bird dove toward its target, lance first. Gagaga Magician looked on with wide eyes as the monster nailed him in the chest, knocking him backwards. The force of the attack made Yuma grunt.

Yuma LP:2300

Gagaga Magician managed to keep his footage. "Senpai, are you OK?" Gagaga Girl asked.

"I'm fine. I've been through worse." Magician said.

"If you want worse, you'll get worse. Gagagalance has another effect." Karaan stated. "If the Gagaga monster it's equipped to is an Xyz Monster, I can send it to the Graveyard to retrieve one of that monster's Overlay Units from the Graveyard!" The lance detached from Garuda's back and began drilling into the ground. Suddenly it exploded, and a purple Overlay Unit emerged, orbiting Garuda.

Gagaga Garuda: 1 Overlay Unit

"Now then… time for something different! This new monster can only be Xyz Summoned by using a Gagaga Xyz Monster and only Overlay Units it has as its Xyz Materials. Garuda!" The bird squawked loudly before it and its Overlay Unit turned fully purple and soared into the air.

"Using another Xyz Monster to Xyz Summon…?" Yuma breathed. "This is…!"

"Xyz Change!" Karaan declared. A blue spiral portal opened in the ground, and the two purple streams flew inside. "Arawareyo… Gagaga Gladiator!" His new monster emerged as a tall dark-blue-clothed warrior with a large spear, a shield decorated with the Gagaga emblem, a helmet covering his eyes, and a purple cape. Two purple orbs circled it.

Gagaga Gladiator: Rank 4 DARK Warrior/Xyz ATK:1800/DEF:2000 2 Overlay Units

"He can perform Xyz Change too…?" Kotori breathed.

"But that monster's weaker than Garuda!" Yuma stated.

"Not for long." Karaan said. "When Gagaga Gladiator is Xyz Summoned, for every Gagaga monster it has as an Overlay Unit, its original Attack Points increase by 400. It has Imp and Garuda as Overlay Units, so it gains 800 original Attack Points!"

Gagaga Gladiator ATK:2600

Gagaga Magician and Gagaga Girl were both awed and slightly frightened at the new monster. "I'd like to see you get through this. Oh, and before I forget. Magic Card, Gagagadraw, activate! This lets me draw 2 cards since I control a Gagaga Xyz Monster." Karaan drew his cards. "Well, take a look at this. Gagaga Golem, Tokushu Shoukan!" Out of nowhere, a green-colored rock monster emerged, the Gagaga emblem on its chest.

Gagaga Golem: Lv.5 DARK Rock ATK:1900/DEF:1900

"This monster can be Special Summoned from my hand during a turn that I perform an Xyz Summon. Now then, Trap Card, Gagagacall, activate! If I control a non-Xyz Gagaga monster, I can Special Summon another one with a different Level. Gagaga Magician, Tokushu Shoukan!" Lightning flashed again, and another copy of the evil magician appeared with an evil smirk behind the cloth covering his face.

Gagaga Magician: Lv.4 DARK Spellcaster ATK:1500/DEF:1000

"Another one?" Kotori cried.

"Did you really think I had just one? I have three of them." Karaan let out a chuckle. "Gagaga Magician no kouka hatsudo! He will now become Level 5!"

Gagaga Magician: Lv.5

"Ore we Reberu Go no Gagaga Magician, Gagaga Golem, Obarei!" Both monsters turned fully purple and shot into the air in a spiral. Another red spiral portal opened in the ground, and both monsters sailed inside.

"ANOTHER Xyz Summon?" Yuma cried.

"Ni tai no monsuta de, Obarei Netwaaku kochiku! Ekushiizu Shoukan!" Karaan declared. "Arawareyo… Gagaga Gallant!" A loud whinny was heard, and a white horse reared back. It was reined in by a dark green-armored knight carrying a large lance, a shield, and a banner displaying the Gagaga symbol.

Gagaga Gallant: Rank 5 DARK Warrior/Xyz ATK:2700/DEF:2400 2 Overlay Units

"This isn't good!" Yuma cried.

Karaan chuckled. "Face it, Yuma. Without your Xyz Summon tactics, you don't stand a chance against me. Give up your Gagaga Magician, and I'll spare you a brutal defeat next turn."

Gagaga Magician narrowed his eyes at Karaan while Yuma growled. "Forget it, Karaan! Tou-chan gave me this card… I won't let anyone take it from me!"

Karaan growled. "Suit yourself. I'll just have to convince you otherwise! Magic Card, Overlay Inferno, activate! This card removes all Overlay Units from my Xyz Monsters! In turn, for each one, my opponent is struck for 500 points of damage!" The four purple Units suddenly combined into one, becoming very unstable. "This is where your foolishness will get you!" Then, the massive purple orb shot down toward Yuma's end, exploding in a tirade of fierce purple fire.

"Waaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!" Yuma yelled, being thrown back from the explosion, landing on the ground.

Yuma LP:300

"Yuma!" Kotori cried.

Gagaga Magician began fighting off the flames as they raged across the area. "Aaaaaaahhhhh!" The scream snapped him to the side, where he noticed his apprentice surrounded on all sides. Making a split-second decision, Magician quickly charged into the flames, not caring how burnt he became. His helmet was lost and the cloth covering his face was burnt in the exchange, revealing his true face: Aside from the white hair, he looked only a few years older than Gagaga Girl. Caring not about his helmet or cloth, he quickly rushed over and grabbed Gagaga Girl, then leapt out of the surrounding flames. The female magician was surprised. Gagaga Magician landed outside of the fire with a grunt. Gagaga Girl looked up at him. "Senpai...?"

"Be gone!" Magician roared, letting out a wave of magic that dispelled the fire. He panted from his action, then set his apprentice down. Part of his attire was singed. "Are you all right?"

Gagaga Girl nodded meekly. "Arigatou, senpai…" She said, a blush clearly on her face.

"The AR technologies are more realistic than I thought! It's like they think they're real with that display!" Karaan mused mockingly.

"You wouldn't know anything about that, Karaan!" Yuma yelled.

"Nani?"

"The fact that Tou-chan gave me these cards isn't the only thing that makes them important to me. They may be cards, but each of them has a soul, a heart! They are my comrades. I trust them, they trust me, and they trust each other!" Gagaga Girl stood up, and both magicians nodded. "We work together to win our Duels… that's what makes us strong!"

Karaan was silent for a moment. Then… "Bah, hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah! Ah hah hah hah hah hah!" An evil laugh came from him. "That is the biggest crock of Kuriboh crap I have ever heard. Cards are cards, nothing more! The AR may give them life, but they don't exist! They are only useful for serving us and fighting our Duels! My Gagagas know this, but do they care? No. They know their place. They are tools and collectables, and when I see one I want, I take it!" Yuma growled at Karaan, his fist clenching. "With only 300 Life Points, you don't stand much of a chance at beating me. All I need is a monster, and you are finished. Turn end." 'But little does he know, I have the ability to sense my Gagaga Magicians, and I know for certain that my next card is my third one! He's all but finished.'

Yuma placed his hand on his Deck. 'Everyone… don't fail me now!' "Ore no turn! Draw!" He drew his card. A smile came over him. "Just what I needed! Kattobingu daze, ore! Gagaga Magician no kouka hatsudo! I change his Level to 8!"

Gagaga Magician: Lv.8

'Level 8, eh? I sense one of two cards.' He thought.

"Magic Card, Gagagathunder, activate!" An odd red apparatus appeared on the field, which both magicians grabbed. "This hits you for damage equal to the difference between two Gagaga monsters I control multiplied by 300! With a five-Level difference, that's 1500!" All of a sudden, lightning crackled from the apparatus, which fired out and struck Karaan.

"Rrgh!" He growled.

Karaan LP:2500

"That was nothing! I've taken hits worse than this!" Karaan jeered.

Yuma grinned. "This one, though, might really crack that ego of yours! Magic Card, Gagagasoul, activate!" Gagaga Girl's widened, and she let out a loud roar as a purple aura encased her.

"What the hell?" Karaan wondered. "I've never seen that card!"

"That's because you shunned Gagaga Girl! This card can only be used with her!" Yuma explained. "The problem is, I have to release another Gagaga monster I control in order to use it."

Gagaga Girl gasped at that before looking at Gagaga Magician. He smiled at her. "It's all up to you now. I have faith in you." He said before turning fully purple and joining with Gagaga Girl's aura, making it flare.

The female magician's eyes closed. "Senpai… Arigatou." Her eyes shot open with determination.

"Gagagasoul increases Gagaga Girl's Attack Points by 700 for every Gagaga monster in the Graveyard!" Yuma said.

"Heh. The only Gagaga monster you have is that Magician you just sent, making only 700 points." Karaan mused, seeing an image of the Magician behind Gagaga Girl. "It still won't stand a chance against-" He gasped, seeing more images behind her. "N-Nani? It can't be!" Behind her were images of Gagaga Imp, Gagaga Garuda, Gagaga Golem, and both of his Gagaga Magicians. The two magicians in question had their backs turned before turning to look at him over their shoulders. "What are my monsters doing there?"

"Gagagasoul isn't limited to just MY Graveyard!" Yuma said. "When you used Overlay Inferno on me, you gave Gagaga Girl all the power she needed!"

Gagaga Girl ATK:5200

"5200 Attack Points…? This is impossible!" Karaan cried. "Defeated… by such a useless monster!"

"Listen to this, Karaan: No monster is useless!" Yuma told him. "Gagaga Girl! Attack Gagaga Gallant now!" Gagaga Girl dialed rapidly on her phone, the aura being absorbed into it. "Soul Power Call!" She pointed her phone at the knight, which fired a laser beam made out of the dark aura. The aura struck right through the knight, the horse also whinnying in pain. The banner fell in flames as the monster collapsed and exploded.

"Bakanaaaaaaa!" Karaan screamed, being thrown back and landing on the ground.

Yuma LP:300

Karaan LP:0 – LOSER

"Yatta!" Yuma and Gagaga Girl both cried as the buzzer sounded. As the Augmented Reality began to fade, Gagaga Girl saw an image of Gagaga Magician in front of her.

"Well done." He told her, smiling and winking at her. Gagaga Girl blushed and smiled as both of them faded.

Karaan growled as he got up, ripping the D-Gazer from his face. "Curses… beaten by that wench of a monster!"

"You have no right to talk, Karaan!" Yuma snapped. "No one disrespects my comrades."

"Stuff it, spike-head!" Karaan snapped back. "You just made my bad list with that Duel. This isn't over between us! Next time we meet, I'll crush you and your 'comrades'!" A secret door was revealed in another wall. "See ya!" He quickly charged through the opening.

"Hold it!" Yuma cried, but the entry was quickly closed off. "Kuso…"

"Yuma!" Kotori called to him. Yuma turned around only to have Kotori hug him. "Way to go, Yuma!" Yuma hugged her back.

All of a sudden, a retracting noise was heard. The door they came in opened, and the others barged in. "What the hell happened?" Shark asked.

"Long story. Let's get out of here first." Yuma said. The others nodded.

*Ten Minutes Later*

"What a creep, Ura." Tokunosuke mused after everyone left the bogus card shop. Yuma had just explained Karaan to them.

"Tell me about it." Yuma said.

"That guy could learn a thing or two from you, Yuma-kun." Cathy told him. "Someone who respects his cards."

Yuma smiled. "Yeah." He held up Gagaga Magician and Gagaga Girl. "When we work together with our cards… we can accomplish anything." He sensed eyes from above and glanced, seeing brown eyes glare at him before jumping away. 'Anytime you want a match, Karaan… My comrades and I will be ready to beat you down.'
