Vile: *looking through a roster of characters* Hmm, what would be a good one... *sees the viewers* Oh, hey, guys. I was looking through various characters that I thought could be used for new fighters in Smash. I'll be doing more Smash trailers once this story's over, so don't be afraid to send in any ideas. And yes, I'm also doing Assist Trophy promotions, so if there's any Assist Trophies you'd want as fighters (except Waluigi since I already plan on doing him), let me know! All right, back to the story we go!


Numbershot 64: A Trial Across Time

Chapter 5

*Field Recap*

Kohaku LP:2900

Zaman LP:2800

Shido LP:4000 (due to activation of Life-Time Reversal at the end of the last turn)

Kohaku's field: Empty

Zaman's field: Temporal Medieval Wyvern, 1 facedown S/T

Shido's field: Lost Consoul Drekas, Lost Consoul Rokooyon-Dede, Consoul Turmoil, no facedowns

Temporal Medieval Wyvern: Lv.6 TIME Dragon/Timewarp ATK:2400/DEF:1500

Lost Consoul Drekas: Lv.8 DARK Zombie ATK:3000/DEF:0 (due to Sannix, normally 0/3000)

Lost Consoul Rokooyon-Dede: Lv.8 DARK Zombie ATK:2400/DEF:1600

The effect of Life-Time Reversal added itself back to Shido's empty hand before he went to drew, but his body briefly went rigid, his head going limp. He shook for a moment before finally placing his hand on his Deck. "Watashi no turn… Draw!" He drew his card. "Magic Card… Roll Rocker Draw Shocker, hatsudo. When I have only 1 card in my hand, I can use this card to roll a die, and draw 1 card plus what I roll. Since Life-Time came back to my hand, I am able to play this." A gray die flew out of the card, rolling itself without Shido's input, stopping itself on a roll a 5. Shido placed his hand on his Deck, but then, his face slowly stretched into a wide grin. "And now…" He said as his voice started to change, becoming higher in pitch. "…it's time for the real fun... TO BEGIN!" Another powerful ripple, actually visual this time, blasted out of him and across the area itself as he drew his cards. The temporal distortion further corroded the nearby buildings, causing them to collapse.

"Uh-oh. I think he just powered up!" Kohaku cried.

Then, the buildings the two of them were currently standing between lost their stability and began falling toward them, The buildings smashed into each other, reducing their pieces to large debris that Kohaku looked up to see raining down on him. "Watch out, Kohaku!" Zaman cried, quickly clicking his watch. A red clock symbol appeared over his head before he suddenly rushed over at incredible speed, grabbing Kohaku by the shirt. As the debris finally crashed into the ground, Zaman emerged from out of the debris completely intact, screeching to a stop away from the crash site, having brought an uninjured Kohaku with him.

"Ah, damn, that would've been a perfect diving save moment." Ourano complained, sighing. "This is what I get for letting gravity do the work."

Attention was brought back to Shido from the sound of his incredibly ragged breathing. Despite seeming like he could barely breathe, his grin never faltered as he slowly rose his hand. "Watashi wa… Reberu Hachi no Lost Consoul Rokooyon-dede to… Lost Consoul Drekas de… OVERLAY!" His voice distorted as he spoke the last word, his two monsters turning fully purple before shooting into the sky in a spiral.

"Here it comes!" Zaman cried, seeing the galaxy portal open itself in the ground.

"Ni tai no monsuta de, Obarei Netwaaku KOCHIKU!" The distortion persisted in Shido's voice as his two monsters sailed inside the portal. "EKUSHIIZU SHOUKAN!" The portal gave off a powerful burst of light, a red glow forming on the back of his hand. "Arawareyo! Nanbaazu Rokujuuyon (Number 64)!"

The number "64" formed and flashed in red, and the monster's sealed form emerged: A strange cartridge-shaped object with open slots all across it. Then, numerous wisps of ethereal energy shot into the object, causing ghostly flames of all colors to flare around its entire form, the flames covering the object from view. However, two arms shot out of the flames, brandishing clawed gauntlets. "The hundred souls gather on this darkest night. The call of the haunted lures them together." A leg with a pawed end and black fur stomped on the ground, but the other leg was instead more robotic, possessing a wind-up key in its heel. Flames receded from the torso to reveal white chest fur with the red "64" printed on the lower side, but directly above it, a large red gash marred its white fur, being perfectly vertical. Its tail whipped out of the fire, only to turn and reveal a face on the end, laughing evilly. "The boundary between the worlds is weak! Merge together and ravage the living!" Two feline ears formed on the head, but they were quickly joined by three large horns sprouting on the back of its head, the center horn actually breaking into three smaller horns in a comb pattern. Two large bat wings spread from its back, and its eyes shot open, revealing them to be pupil-less and bright red. "Bōkyaku Ishi (Forgotten Will)... Lost Soul Chimera!" The creature let out a low growl before somehow stretching its arm into a ball of ethereal flame, pulling it back to slam a large, spike-ended hammer into the ground. Picking up the hammer, the creature held it in both hands, grunting angrily twice before finally let out a vicious, echoing roar, conveying the hatred and malice of a hundred souls.

Number 64: Forgotten Will – Lost Soul Chimera: Rank 8 LIGHT Zombie/Xyz ATK:3200/DEF:400 2 Overlay Units

Ourano stared at the giant creature, the temporal distortion becoming even worse just by its mere presence. "THAT'S a Number?!" He cried in shock. "I know this was the plan, but that thing is..."

"...Absolutely incredible." His partner finished his sentence, making Ourano look over at him weirdly. This was when he noticed that Chrono was grinning.

"Nani? Chrono, are you... I mean..."

Chrono didn't even pay attention to him. "To think that other timelines had such power... What else is hiding out there?"

Ourano gulped. "Chrono... you're scaring me."

"Don't worry about me, Ourano." The time Sykonetyk finally acknowledged his partner. "The only one worried now should be Yudin, hahahaha."

"So... that's a Number card?" Kohaku wondered.

Zaman barely registered what he said, but he managed to nod in response. "What is within that kid's heart to have created that thing?" Kohaku gave an "Eh?" to that. "The images of Number cards are derived from desires within the user's heart. Whatever that creature is... the boy had to desire it to be this way."

"Watashi wa... shinakatta... (I... didn't...)" Shido said, his voice still distorted. "Shikashi, ORE wa yarimashita... (But, I did...)" Kohaku and Zaman looked over at him, confused as why he had suddenly changed pronouns. His head was low, covering his eyes, but then, he let out an eerie laugh. Or rather, he appeared to, but the laugh didn't sound like him at all. It was a completely different voice, more high-pitched. "This boy didn't make the Number..." He said, only to raise his head. His once-empty blue eyes had turned purple, full of life, and completely manic. "I DID!" He let out a laugh, no hints of Shido's previous voice remaining through its hysterical glee.

"Nani?" Zaman wondered. Checking his watch, he brought up a computer screen. "Eh?! His energy signature has completely changed!"

Shido finally stopped laughing, looking around the collapsing city with a smile on his face. "My, this place looks different from Heartland. I rather like this."

"Uh... I don't like the looks of this." Ourano groaned.

"If you're not that young man, who or what are you?" Zaman asked.

The young man giggled, but rather than answer Zaman, he seemed to be addressing the Sykonetyks. "What's wrong, boys from the future? You don't recognize the voice of the "Mighty Vector"?"

Ourano was dumbfounded, Chrono actually snapping out of his little daze alongside his friend. "VECTOR?!" They both shrieked.

"Vector? From 10 years ago?" Kohaku wondered, recognizing the name. "The creature that Yuma Tsukumo defeated?"

"Oh, has he, now?" Vector responded to Kohaku, getting a nod from the boy. He looked up at Chrono and Ourano with a knowing smile. "I guess I was right to think you two would lie to me."

Ourano glared at Chrono. "You and your lousy plans!"

"Shut up, my plan was genius!" Chrono shot back with an equal glare, only to look back at Vector. "How are you even talking to us, you freak?"

"I figured you two were actually against me, so I gave you the Number I was saving for the special occasion of Tsukumo actually destroying me." The Barian replied. "A Number with a piece of my essence within it, which I could use to control whoever obtained it. I planned to turn one of your own heroes against you..." He looked over his current body. "...but this troubled, dark child will do."

"You're asking to be erased, creep!" Ourano shouted, his shoulder pad glowing with its pink light.

"Don't even consider it! If you destroy that Number, time will be irreparably damaged!" Zaman told them. "You caused this mess... so be quiet and allows us to fix it before anything else goes wrong!"

"Fix it? Hahahaha! You can't beat me now, even with your new Summon!" Vector laughed. "This Number is one I built special from this boy's Deck! And with these two's unknowing assistance, I cannot be defeated!"

"Says you!" Kohaku cried, getting his attention.

Vector didn't even look remotely worried. "Oh? And what do you think YOU can do, boy? You're nothing but someone drawn into a situation he couldn't possibly understand!"

"...You know, you're right..." Kohaku conceded, pausing for a moment, only to eventually show a smile. "...but so was Yuma. And if Yuma can beat you..." His eye flashed as a familiar symbol briefly appeared over his D-Gazer. "...then anything's possible!"

The glow in his eye caused Vector to drop his smile in thought. 'What is this power I feel from him?' He thought to himself. Eventually, though, he shook his head. 'No matter. I have what I need.' He grinned again. "It's still my turn, so don't get cocky. First, since I no longer have any Lost Consoul monsters on my field, I can Special Summon this one from my hand. Koi, Lost Consoul Philecidi!" A purple ghostly wisp emerged and drew junk to itself, forming a vaguely humanoid body. In one hand, it wielded a rusted TV remote that its energy had turned into some kind of bladed weapon.

Lost Consoul Philecidi: Lv.8 DARK Zombie ATK:2100/DEF:0

"Magic Card, Consoul Activator Ring, hatsudo!" The odd ring symbol in the card's artwork began to glow an ominous green. "This lets me Special Summon a Lost Consoul monster from my hand or Deck in Defense Mode." The green glow spread off the card and became a green ghostly wisp. "Lost Consoul Amstragix, Tokushu Shoukan!" White junk surrounded it on all sides as armor, being long but rather thin, before the creature turned itself 90 degrees, projecting a fin behind itself to make itself resemble a mambo fish.

Lost Consoul Amstragix: Lv.4 DARK Zombie ATK:0/DEF:2000

"Now, I release both of them!" The two wisps left their armor and merged together, flaring in power and turning yellow. "Adobansu Shoukan! Koi, Lost Consoul Viktorex!" The new wisp drew the wreckage of its previous armor to it while also drawing more to it. The old armor was molded in the form of two floating hands, but its main body was made out of an old television set surrounded by junk pieces. Then, the TV actually turned on, projecting the image of a single large yellow eye.

Lost Consoul Viktorex: Lv.8 DARK Zombie/Base ATK:0/DEF:0

"Now then, let's see if I can understand the new mechanics of today's game." Vector mused to himself, his eyes briefly glowing. "Ore wa, Lost Consoul Vobog, Sannix, Philecidi, Yudoraw to, Reberu Hachi no Lost Consoul Viktorex de..." He stopped, scratching his head as he thought, but he eventually snapped his fingers with a grin. "Ah, yes! Shinajaizu!" Viktorex crossed its hands before letting out a computerized screech, its projected eye turning bloodshot. Four purple portals opened up, and the wisps of Vobog, Sannix, Philecidi, and Yudoraw emerged with the wreckage of their armors beneath them.

"He's Composition Summoning? How did he know how?" Kohaku wondered.

"He likely read his host body's mind to figure it out!" Zaman realized.

"Kono go tai no tamashī o ketsugō shite, yori kyōryokuna atarashī no tamashī ga umareru!" Vector chanted as the wisps poured energy between themselves, forming a pure purple sphere of energy, but then, all of them dropped their armors as they morphed into Soul Towers, firing purple lightning at the sphere. "Kōzu Shoukan!" The energy sphere began to flare, resembling the wisps of the previous monsters, slowly turning from its purple color to pitch black. Then, two eyes shot open on the wisp itself as it let out a loud hissing noise, destroying the wreckage of its materials before generating more junked armor. A lot of it. "Leader of the march of a hundred spirits, your position at the front awaits!" Black metal latched together like a puzzle, filled in by pieces of white and red metal. Their corroded and flimsy bodies almost made them flow like fabric. "With the graves of machines as your shell, let the dead retake their world!" Black flames shot through an odd controller with a screen in its center, breaking it and turning it into a hand with an eye on the "palm". More of them infiltrated a black controller with a keypad, turning its wreckage into a strange wrist-mounted computer. "Lost Consoul... Magis Attarrin!" The eyes of the wisp were surrounded by the broken metal as well, forming the shape of a horned skull. When its new head was completed, the creature forced it to smile as it let out a metallic, raspy, hollow laugh.

Lost Consoul Magis Attarrin: Quality 8 DARK Zombie/Composition ATK:2500/DEF:2500 5 Active Soul Towers

Kohaku and Zaman stared at the new monsters in apprehension, Attarrin actually staring back with another laugh. Then, they heard a chilling sound: Someone wheezing right behind them. "Koha... kun..." Dizzy wheezed out through a cough.

"Eh? Dizzy-kun?" Kohaku wondered. Turning around, he jumped with a yelp at what he saw. While he was still on his knees being held by the mind-controlled Cleo and Kowa, Dizzy had changed drastically. He had become thinner with pale skin, pieces of his hair had fallen out, and his clothes had morphed into assorted rags. He overall looked like a sickly shell of his former self. Then he saw the others, and he realized that not only were some of them in the same state he was in, they were slowly morphing into this sickly state before his very eyes. One of Cleo's pigtails molted off her head, and Kowa's glasses rusted and cracked. Kohaku gulped. "Oh no... The distortion's really getting to them now!" He then began coughing himself, feeling his breath becoming short.

Zaman could also feel it becoming harder to breathe, but when he looked back at Kohaku, his face turned to dread. "...Not just them." He pointed at Kohaku, making the boy look at his own hands, seeing them as much thinner and paler than they were. Startled, he looked down to see that he too was wearing a robe made out of old gray rags like the others, also noticing that he was now barefoot. He instinctively placed his hands to his head in a freakout, only to end up feeling bare scalp, making him realize that even his signature hairdo was gone.

"Zeke! ZEKE!" Touko's voice suddenly shouted from Zaman's earpiece, making him tap it.

"Touko! What's going on over there?"

"FINALLY! Did you have me on mute this whole time?!" The girl cried. "Your oxygen levels are dropping fast!"

"Oxygen levels? What are you talking about?" Zaman asked.

"Whatever's going on out there is messing with the Earth's atmosphere! The air's becoming barely breathable for humans!"

"Nani?" Zaman then heard Vector laugh out loud, making him glare at him. "What are you doing to this planet, you fool?!"

The possessed Shido gave a cheeky smile, holding up his arms in a shrug. "Me? Why, nothing." He answered, looking around. "My main body on the other hand... well, I'm sure he did something to make this planet feel more like home, but also ensure the slaves can survive." He giggled.

Zaman growled. "You will not get away with this..."

"Hahahahahahahahahaha! What can someone like you do?!" Vector shrieked in mirth. "The world is on the cusp of collapsing around you, and even your partner is being reduced to dust before your very eyes!" Kohaku looked petrified, still in the middle of his freakout, somehow not falling to his knees. However, Vector's grin became a focused smile. "You know what? Why don't I... speed up the process?!" His eyes glowed as he grinned once more. "Lost Soul Chimera, attack the one on the left! Turn him to ashes!" Chimera turned and glared at Kohaku, holding out one arm and generating four orbs of elemental energy, combining them into one by clenching his fist. Then, with the unstable elemental orb ready, Chimera readied his hammer, reeled back, then slammed it, propelling it toward Kohaku at the speed of a missile.

"Kohaku, watch out!" Zaman cried. Hearing those words made Kohaku finally snap out of his freakout trance, turning to see the elemental attack barreling towards him. His eyes shrank as impending doom stared him down...

...but then, a flash of light gleamed within his eyes. Time seemed to slow down for Kohaku, the energy still a good distance away. His teeth slowly clenched as his once-frightened eyes gained a look of defiance. "Until I see my future..." He managed to cough out. "...my game..." He reached for a card in his hand, and the flash become a full-on glow. "...is NOT OVER! IKUZE!" Out of nowhere, Kohaku was completely surrounded by a powerful dark barrier, blocking the elemental strike from going forward and causing it to dissipate.

"Nani?" Vector cried. The barrier then turned from dark to light, creating an incredibly bright glow that made most of the people watching shield their eyes. As the glow slowly receded, Vector finally saw what was within, and his eyes went frighteningly wide. Standing there was Kohaku... completely normal, back in his old clothes, hair flowing due to an unseen power, a bright glow in his eyes. "What... What trickery is this?!"

Kohaku smirked, and when he spoke, his voice echoed. "It's you underestimating what I can do." Holding up his arm, a powerful glow gathered in his hand. "HAH!" He swiped his arm, releasing the glow as a powerful wave of energy from his body. The wave washed over the surrounding area, and as it did, the ruins of the buildings around them slowly began to reverse their damages, repairing themselves and putting themselves back into position.

It wasn't just the area. One by one, the people controlled by Number 64's power slowly began to revert back to a regular state, regaining all of their original features. In addition, their yellow eyes returned to normal as they began to wake up from their trances. "Ngh, my head..." Cleo groaned, reaching a hand to her head, only to freak out when she felt a bald spot. However, said bald spot was quickly fixed by the missing pigtail returning, making her sigh in relief.

Kowa's glasses had already fixed themselves by the time he came back to his senses, and he looked himself over, noticing he was completely intact. "Looks like they didn't tear us apart..." It was then that they noticed they were still holding an as-of-yet unchanged Dizzy, causing them to freak out and let go of him.

Dizzy fell to his hands and knees, gasping before the wave finally changed him back to normal as well. He took a bit to catch his breath, gasping and coughing before finally taking a deep breath in and out. "Ugh... what a rush." Was all he could say.

Vector's eyes were twitching violently, a terrified whimper coming from his host's body. "How... HOW?!" He shrieked. Chrono and Ourano were just as terrified, but also somewhat awed, barely able to even put a sentence together.

"Sometimes ordinary humans... can do extraordinary things, Vector." Kohaku told him, holding up his hand. "Consider that... my secret." He gave a peace sign, winked, and stuck out his tongue.

The Barian-controlled human seethed hard as Vector felt rage begin to overtake him. "Saving your Life Points won't save you in the end, interloper!"

"It was enough to keep me going." Kohaku replied. "I have her to thank: Pixel HERO - Shadow Heart!" It was then that Vector realized that someone else was on Kohaku's field: A roughly 8-year-old girl wearing largely black clothing typical of girls her age (with the typical "P" on the front), long and braided black hair to match, bright blue eyes, glasses, and holding onto a plush rabbit. She was floating in midair and had dark energy radiating off her, yet she was smiling as if nothing was wrong. "Once per turn, if I would take damage, I can Special Summon her from my hand in order to cut the damage in half!"

Pixel HERO - Shadow Heart: Lv.4 DARK Spellcaster/Base ATK:0/DEF:1900

Kohaku LP:1300

"You're still going to lose once Attarrin's done with her!" Vector roared. "Attack with Tormented Soul Polymer!" Crossing his hands, Attarrin gathered numerous ethereal energy balls to him, only to violently crush them together until they were a single, massively unstable orb. Locking eyes with the girl, who went into a defensive position, the makeshift lich let out another insidious laugh before launched the energy ball at her, a pained scream coming from it as it flew. Shadow Heart quickly threw up another dark barrier for the attack to slam into, struggling to hold it back, but she shot a look at Kohaku and nodded, getting a nod back before allowing the orb to absorb and destroy her. "Not that she's out of the way, Lost Soul Chimera no kouka hatsudo!" One of Chimera's Overlay Units floated near its tail, whose face grinned before lashing out and chomping it. "If I don't control any Tokens, using an Overlay Unit Special Summons a Twin Tail Token in Attack Mode!" The tail laughed maniacally before pulling and actually snapping itself off of its base body, slithering onto the field as a strange tail-like worm.

Twin Tail Token: Lv.8 LIGHT Zombie ATK:1600/DEF:800

Vector let out a loud laugh. "It's the end for you, boy! Twin Tail Token! Direct attack!" The Token laughed before charging toward Kohaku, lashing its head around and bearing its sharp teeth.

Kohaku narrowed his eyes. "Your sneak attacks don't work on me! Brave Blade no kouka hatsudo!" A symbol resembling three golden triangles appeared on the ground, the gap between the triangles glowing. "When you attack me directly with a monster that has at least 1600 Attack Points, he comes from my Deck in Defense Mode to defend me!" From out of the beacon, a green-clad elven swordsman emerged, sticking his shield in front of him. Twin Tail's face went from evil to scared in a heartbeat as he ended up slamming into face-first into the shield, crumpling like an accordion. It even made the same noise as it pathetically slunk back to Vector's field.

Pixel HERO - Brave Blade: Lv.4 EARTH Warrior ATK:1400/DEF:1600

Vector pulled out his host's hair in frustration, growling at a incredibly high pitch. "Would you just die already?!" He shrieked, a manic look in his eyes.

"Don't you ever play video games? The hero doesn't truly die!" Kohaku retorted. "No matter what you do, there's no way you'll beat me!"

"We'll see! Kaado ni mai settei! Turn end!"

Kohaku reached for his Deck. "Boku no turn... DRAW!" He drew his card. "Magic Card, Randabrick, hatsudo!" From the card, a cube-shaped block with randomly flashing numbers on the sides appeared. "This card's effect is based on the dice roll! Let's go!" He punched the block, making it spin in the air and bounce off the ground, exploding to reveal the number "4". "Four! I can draw two cards!" As he went for his Deck again, the Alphomega symbol appeared in his eye, the top two cards glowing. "HAH!" He drew his cards, a trail of yellow light coming off of them. "Pixel HERO - Red Hammer!" His monster emerged as his signature red-garbed hero, slamming his hammer on the ground.

Pixel HERO - Red Hammer: Lv.4 FIRE Warrior/Base ATK:1600/DEF:1400

"Boku wa Dino Mount, Glyph Edge, Shadow Heart to, Reberu Yon no Red Hammer de Shinajaizu!" Red Hammer gave a loud whistle, and three purple portals opened up, bringing back the three heroes, Dino Mount looking happy to see Red Hammer. "Kono yon tai no tamashī o ketsugō shite, yori kyōryokuna atarashī no tamashī ga umareru!" The four heroes fired their energy above them all, creating a sphere of orange, yellow, purple, and red energy, before all of them morphed into Soul Towers, firing red energy at the sphere. "Kōzu Shoukan!" The sphere burst into flames before starting to morph into a larger form... then it just straight-up leapt into the air, only to crash back down later. "Koi, Pixel HERO - Red Blazer!" The new figure stood up to reveal itself as a man similar to Red Blazer, clad in red and white clothing, an orange mustache, and a helmet instead of a cap. Holding up his hands, he made them burst into flames before waving them around, dispelling the flames while throwing up a peace sign.

Pixel HERO - Red Blazer: Quality 4 FIRE Warrior/Composition ATK:2500/DEF:2000 4 Active Soul Towers

"He won't be here for long, however! I send him to the Graveyard to Special Summon this monster from my hand!" Red Blazer crossed his arms before vanishing in his own flames. "Alpha Pixie, Tokushu Shoukan!" A yellow portal opened up in the ground, and from it, a small ball of pink light with wings came out of it, a lowercase Alpha glowing on it in yellow.

Alpha Pixie: Lv.1 LIGHT Fairy/Base ATK:0/DEF:0

"What is that?" Vector asked, nervous.

Zaman smiled. "That is the sign of his power."

"Get 'em, Koha-kun!" Dizzy cried.

"Magic Card, Alphomega Coin, hatsudo!" When Kohaku played the card, a small ball of light appeared in his hand, which he closed his hand around before re-opening it, revealing his golden coin. "To activate this card, I have to send a monster I control to the Graveyard." Brave Blade sheathed his sword before fading from the field. The coin's glow shined across Kohaku's face, revealing a face of determination. "I may be nervous about my future... but I know I'm not scared of YOU! It is ON!"
