The wind swirled smoke around the field as Kai stood facing his opponent, a mystery man whose seemed to prefer secrecy. On the field, Kai had 'Number 9: Dyson Sphere', 'Number 87: Queen of the Night', and 'Chirubime, Princess of Autumn Leaves'. Facing them were 'Number 24: Queen of Dark Magic', and the 'Dark Magicioness', which Dyson Sphere had just attacked. The smoke cleared, and the mystery man stood, and the 'Dark Magicioness' was gone. THe mystery man grumbled as his Life Points decreased.
Mystery Man LP (7400 - 6800)
"I end my turn", said Kai. The man drew. "I play the spell card, Spellcastor's Magic. Since I took battle damage, I can activate this card. It allows me to summon a monster, whose level is equal or less to the damage I took divided by 100. Since I took 600 damage, I can Special Summon a level 6 or below Spellcastor. Come forth, Dark Magician Girl(2000/1700)!"
The pretty mage-in-training appeared in a flash of light, waving her staff. "Next, I play the spell card Sage's Stone. Since I have Dark Magician Girl on my field, I can Special Summon her mentor, Dark Magician, from my Hand or Deck. Come forth, master of the ancient magics, Dark Magician(2500/2000)!"
The purple-robed mage flew onto the field, next to his apprentice. "Next, I play the spell card Star Changer. This allows me to raise or reduce the level of a monster on my field by 1. I reduce Dark Magician's Level to 6!"
Dark Magician LV 7 - 6
"I now overlay my Level 6 Dark Magician and Dark Magician Girl. I build the overlay network with my two Spellcasters." The swirling red vortex appeared to absorb the purple 'overlay' monsters. Light filled the sky, as a monster descended. "Come forth, Magi Magi Magician Girl(2400/2100)!"
Flying out from the ground, a girl who looked like an older version of Dark Magician Girl came. Her skin was a great deal paler, and her wand glittered with the specks of purple magic.
"I activate her special ability. By detaching an overlay unit, I can either take control of a monster on your field until the End Phase, or Special Summon a monster from your Graveyard. I'll take control of your Number 9: Dyson Sphere!"
A purple overlay unit flew into Magi Magi Magician Girl's wand, and was absorbed. Then purple lightning bolts lanced out, hitting the large space station. The large orange core glowed purple, and it exploded into purple particles, before re-appearing on the other field. A purple aura was flashing around it, and it's glowing orange core was now a magical purple. "Now, I activate Dyson Sphere's effect. Since you have a monster with more ATK points on your field, I can detach an overlay unit to attack you directly! Go now, Dyson Sphere, attack him directly! Brilliant Bombardment!"
The white black hole appeared in front of the space station, and the meteorites flew out, white and burning out. They rushing right past 'Number 87: Queen of the Night' and 'Chirubime, Princess of Autumn Leaves' and struck straight into Kai, who flew backwards, smoke trailing. He bounced along the ground a couple times before sliding to a stop. He hopped back up on his feet, and watched at his LP counter adjusted.
Kai LP (8000 - 5200)
Kai shook his head. "Still standing?", said the masked man in a demeaning voice, "Well, let's see whether you can turn this around. I end my turn with a face-down, and Dyson Sphere returns to your field." The said monster's core returned to it's usual orange, and then moved over to Kai's field. A face-down card pixelated onto his field. Kai drew his card. "I play Pot of Greed. This, as you most probably know, allows me to draw 2 cards.", said Kai as he did so. "Next, since there is an XYZ monster on the field, I can Special Summon Photon Slasher(2100/1000), in Defence mode. Then I tribute it, to summon a monster whose power comes from the ever-growing network. I summon forth, Cyber Dragon(2100/1600)!"
The mechanical dragon roared out loudly, as it's eyes flashed red. "Next, I play the spell card Cyber-Tech Cloning Technology. Since I have a Cyber monster on my field, this card Special Summons another copy from my Deck, but I must pay 1000 LP as the price." The card glowed, and the silhouette of another Cyber Dragon appeared. Then a beam of red light came out of the card, and blasted Kai. Then the Cyber Dragon solidified.
Kai LP (5200 - 4200)
"Now I overlay my Level 5 Cyber Dragons. With them, I build the overlay network." The customary red spiral spun into view. Both dragons roared, before dissolving into yellow energy orbs, which shifted and dilated constantly. They then raced up into the sky, leaving a yellow light trail behind them. Then the took a sharp dive, and into the red portal, which exploded. "I summon, Cyber Dragon Nova(2100/1600)!"
A black dragonic robot rose from the ground. In it's center, a red and orange core glowed. A metallic tail existed instead of legs. Wings sprouted off it's back, and it's eyes glowed a menacing red. It let out a piercing roar. "Now I play it's effect. I detach an overlay unit to Special Summon a Cyber Dragon from my Graveyard. So come on back, Cyber Dragon!" The huge dragon absorbed an overlay unit into it's core. From the core, red lines began to spread over the dragon. A ball of red energy began to gather at it's jaw. It roared, before a beam of red energy blasted out, hitting the ground and creating a black portal. From it rose the smaller mechanical dragon, which yellow eyes flashed as it let out a loud roar. "I'm not done yet. I now rebuild the overlay network with Cyber Dragon Nova, using the effect of the Cyber Dragon Infinity which is in my Extra Deck." The galaxy styled network appeared this time. The dragon roared as it flew up into it, and it exploded into red light.
From the sky, another dragon came. This one was black and white, and it's wings were more feathery. It looked like an upgraded form of Cyber Dragon Nova. flames burst from the sides of it's head, and it let out a roar which seemed to shake the very battlefield. "Welcome to the field, Cyber Dragon Infinity(2100/1600)!"
The dragon roared again, as if acknowledging it's master's call. "Cyber Dragon Infinity's first effect activates. It gains 200 ATK for each overlay unit attached. As you can see, there are 2, so it gains 400 ATK." Both overlay units glowed brightly, and the dragon robot roared as it's attack increased.
Cyber Dragon Infinity ATK (2100 - 2500)
"Now I activate Number 87: Queen of the Night's effect. I detach an overlay unit, and target your face-down card. Now, as long as this card is on the field, you can't activate that card. Now, go Cyber Dragon Infinity, attack Magi Magi Magician Girl. Go, Infinity Flaming Doom!"
A ball of energy formed within the mouth of the huge dragon, before it blasted out, hitting the magician. She let out a scream before shattering into pixels. The masked man shielded his eyes as the pixels breezed past him.
Mystery Man LP (6800 - 6700)
Now, Dyson Sphere, Attack Dark Magician. Brilliant Bombardment!" The black hole opened, and the customary meteors came flying through, smashing into the magician and destroying it.
Mystery Man LP (6700 - 6400)
"And finally, Go now, Queen of the Night, attack Dark Magicianess, Petal Storm!" The attack ripped out and smashed through the female magician, who splintered.
A storm of shards blasted the mystery man, sending him flying backwards, causing him to slide backwards.
Mystery Man LP (6400 - 5400)
"Now I end my turn." The mystery man drew. The only thing on his field was "Number 24: Queen of Dark Magic." "I activate Number 24's effect. I detach an overlay unit to Special Summon a Spellcaster-type monster from my Deck, and it's ATK doubles until the end of this turn. I Special Summon Endymion, the Master Magician(2700/1700)!"
A black robed mage walked onto the field. He carried a staff with a green jewel on top. Nothing else was noticable about his, for black magic danced around his entire body. "And Number 24: Queen of Dark Magic also doubles his Attack points!"
Endymion, the Master Magician ATK (2700 - 5400)
"And now, I'll attack your Cyber Dragon Infinity! Go, Magical Spiral Strike!" A spiral of dark magic spun out of the staff, and raced toward the dragon. It connected, and the dragon let out a mournful roar, and it exploded into a million pieces. Kai lifted his hand to his face as a huge cloud wafted toward him.
Kai LP (4200 - 1300)
"Now, I'll play the spell Change Chance Permanent. I roll a dice, and if I roll an even number, any ATk changes on any of my monsters becomes permanent. I roll!" A dice appeared in his hand, and he threw it. He rolled high into the air, before coming down. It bounced a few times, and then stopped . . . on a 6! Kai put his head in his hands. "I'll end my turn. Let's see whether I can beat you on the next turn. Then, I'll take your Numbers. Hahahaha!" Kai drew his card, and his eyes widened. This was the card that could win it for him. "I'll start by playing the spell ATK-Life Exchange. This card allows me to select a monster on your field, and then I gain LP equal to half it's ATK. I choose your Endomion. Since it's attack is 5400, I gain 2700."
A shower of green sparkles rained down on his, and he began to glow bright green.
Kai LP (1300 - 2700)
"Now, I activate Number 9: Dyson Sphere's effect. Since you control a monster with more ATK points that it, I can detach an overlay unit and attack you directly." A purple overlay unit flashed and was absorbed into the satellite core. "Go, Brilliant Bombardment." The meteors rained down fast and hard, and the mystery man had to block using his duel disk to avoid getting hurt from one of the rocks.
Mystery Man LP (5400 - 2600)
"Now, I play the quick-play spell: Attack Mirage! I roll a dice, and if it is a number equal to or higher than 4, I can attack you directly. And if it is a number lower than 4, that monster can attack that many times!" The mystery man groaned. There was a 2/3 chance he would lose! "I roll!" yelled Kai, throwing the dice high into the air. For a moment, time seemed to slow down, as the dice slowly made it's way to the ground. It clattered a bit, and then stopped, revealing . . . 4!
"Yes, I can attack you directly! Go, Number 87, Attack his directly! Petal Stream!" The flower petals bombarded him, and he flew backward, hitting the wall, before sliding down, unconscious.
Mystery Man LP (2600 - 0)
WINNER: Kai
The augmented reality faded, and all the monsters shattered. Kai dashed over to the man, and snatched the Number off his duel disk before checking his pulse. Kai dialed 911, and told the police he had found a man in an alleyway, injured. He sent them the place, then left. He had a new Number now, and he was still hunting more. As he walked away, he could hear the faint sound of an ambulance siren.
