Sorry I haven't made any new chapters in a while. I'm just gonna go at my own pace with this. Well, here's the chapter.
Yuma wakes up in a strange place. It seems to be another dimension. There's nothing in sight. Half of the space is blue and the other half is red. Yuma looks to see Astral unconscious next to him. "Like it?" Yuma lifts up his head to the voice of the stranger. He sees the stranger floating right next to him. However, he doesn't have his black cloak. For the first time, Yuma sees the stranger as he is. Instead of the short brown hair half of his hair is gold and the other half is gray. And, half of his body is blue and the other half is black.
"This is a dimension I created to contain my full power. Should it ever be released my body would be destroyed. It's also where I keep the Numbers. Yuma looks at him in disgust and tries to say something but he can't find his voice. "Nice try. In case you would try to use Zexal to escape I nullified yours and Astral's power. I also took your voice and made you completely immobile. Soon, yours and Astral's power will be added to mine just like theirs." Yuma looks at the stranger with a confused look. "Why, I'm talking about the Barian Empereors of course. Before I dueled you and beat you to a pulp, I decided to go after them first and take the Over-Hundred Numbers plus the Mythirian Numbers. The only one I didn't get to was your friend Nash."
Yuma grits his teeth and tries to form a fist and punch the stranger, but he couldn't move his arm. "You don't listen very well, do you? I know I took your voice and ability to move, but I don't think I took your hearing either. I told you you can't move in here. Now Yuma, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. I have a proposition for you." Yuma raises his eyebrow. "It's simple. I want you to help me destroy your loved ones, including your friends, family. Oh, and Astral World as well."
Yuma grits his teeth again looking even more angry. "You know even if you don't do it I can just control you. I'll make you do this one way or another." Yuma conjures most of his willpower to look back at Astral. "I wouldn't count on Astral helping you right now. He won't wake up unless I will him to. That's how I woke you up. This dimension bends to my will and mine alone. So what will you do?" Meanwhile, near the school Shark is on his knees with a blank expression on his face. Tori looks at him worried and says, "Shark I-I'm so sorry." Shark grits his teeth and says, "You think sorry's gonna cut it!? You think sorry is gonna bring back Yuma!? Well guess what Tori it's not!" Bronk steps in and says, "Hey knock it off Shark. We're just as worried as you. But now's not the time to be arguing and taking your anger out on your friends!" Shark looks at Bronk and says, "Whatever.", and starts leaving school grounds. "Poor guy.", Tori says. "I wish there was something we could do to help. "Let's just leave him be for now", Bronk replies. "A wise choice.", says a voice out of nowhere. All of a sudden a black entity that looks like Astral captures Tori and Bronk, both of them yelling but no one around can hear. "It's useless. I've blocked out your voices. Now let's pay a visit to Yuma and Astral shall we? Hahahaha!" The black Astral disappears without leaving a trace of anyone.
