Vile: Whew. Sorry about that last send-off, guys. Friggin' Foxy got into my study while I was paying attention to you. Luckily, he calmed down once I told him he was in the wrong building, and he went back to Fazbear's Pizza. Before you ask, no, I haven't played either FNAF game, nor do I plan to, but those animatronics can get you when you least expect it. Anyhoo, enjoy the next chapter, folks!
Numbershot 80: Precious Melody
Chapter 5
"Kaado ichi mai settei! Turn end!" Suguru's facedown appeared.
"Watashi no turn. Draw." Kuronazo drew his card. "Ghostrick Yuki-onna, Ribaasu Shoukan (Reverse Summon)." His face-down monster flipped up, revealing a white-haired doll-like girl with a snowflake in her hair.
Ghostrick Yuki-onna: Lv.2 DARK Spellcaster ATK:1000/DEF:800
"Ghostrick Witch, Shoukan." Another doll-like girl emerged, this one having long blonde hair and looking more humanoid, dressed like her namesake and carrying a broomstick.
Ghostrick Witch: Lv.2 DARK Spellcaster ATK:1200/DEF:200
"I never took you for the kind who plays with toys." Mitsume mused.
"I always enjoyed the mystique of these little trinkets." Kuronazo pointed forward. "Watashi wa Reberu Ni no Witch to Yuki-onna de Obarei." His two monsters turned fully purple and shot into the air in a spiral. "Ni tai no monsuta de, Obarei Netwaaku kochiku." A red spiral portal opened up, and both his monsters sailed inside. "Ekushiizu Shoukan!" A strange bed emerged from the portal, a figure sleeping within. Koi, Ghostrick Succubus!" The figure slowly woke and sat up, rubbing her eyes as the bed vanished. The figure looked like a red-haired girl with pointy ears, mascara, red nightwear, a pillow, and black wings on her back. A shirt was on top of her head, part of it falling down to show that she had horns. She let out a cute yawn, two purple Overlay Units circling her.
Ghostrick Succubus: Rank 2 DARK Spellcaster/Xyz ATK:1400/DEF:1200 2 Overlay Units
"That won't separate me from my precious melody." Suguru growled.
Kuronazo chuckled. "You have a strategy worth using... but every strategy has its holes." He pointed forward again. "Xyz Change!" Ghostrick Succubus and her Overlay Units turned into purple streaks and sailed into the air. A blue spiral portal opened up, and all three streaks sailed inside, causing purple light to billow from it. "Ideyo, Ghostrick Spoiled Angel!" From the light, another young girl emerged, this one having pink hair and a fake halo on her head, decked out in a black gothic lolita dress and having gray wings on her back. She let out a sneaky giggle before leaning back in the air as if reclining with her arms behind her head, 3 Overlay Units surrounding her.
Ghostrick Spoiled Angel: Rank 4 DARK Fairy/Xyz ATK:2000/DEF:2500 3 Overlay Units (Defense Mode)
"Interesting. So you took a page out of Tsukumo's book, eh?" Mitsume wondered.
"He's the kind of person that rubs off on you." Kuronazo picked another card from his hand. "Magic Card, Overlay Gravity, hatsudo. By paying a multiple of 1000 Life Points, I can attach a number of monsters from my Deck to an Xyz Monster I control as Overlay Units." A purple aura surrounded Kuronazo briefly before flying to his Deck, taking 3 cards, and turning them into Overlay Units for Spoiled Angel.
Spoiled Angel: 6 Overlay Units
Kuronazo LP:1000
"That's a little overly risky, don't you think?" Mitsume asked.
"Not really. Trap Card, Magic Refund, hatsudo. Since I resolved the effect of a Magic Card that made me pay Life Points to activate it, I regain every single one of those Life Points." Green sparkles covered him for a moment.
Kuronazo LP:4000
Mitsume was a little surprised. "Well. It seems I underestimated you."
"You cannot beat me with a monster in Defense Mode!" Suguru cried.
"Oh, yes I can. There's a reason I'm giving my Spoiled Angel so many Overlay Units." Kuronazo stated. "You see, if Spoiled Angel manages to acquire 10 Overlay Units, then the Duel automatically ends with my victory." Angel accented his point by giving a throat-slash motion with her finger, giggling.
"Nani?!" Suguru cried.
'Incredible!' Mitsume thought.
"And to further this effect, Ghostrick Spoiled Angel no kouka hatsudo." Kuronazo picked and showed Ghostrick Night from his hand. "Once per turn, I can attach one Ghostrick card from my hand to it as an Overlay Unit." Kuronazo threw the card, which became another Overlay Unit that orbited the angel.
Spoiled Angel: 7 Overlay Units
'Kuso. At this rate, he'll win within the next few turns!' Mitsume thought.
"Kaado ichi mai settei. Turn end." Kuronazo's facedown emerged.
"Watakushi no turn. Draw." Mitsume drew her card. "The Cyclops Blinded by Hunger, Shoukan." Appearing on her field next was a large, fat, white-skinned cyclops with a hollowed-out eye socket.
The Cyclops Blinded By Hunger: Lv.4 DARK Beast-Warrior ATK:2000/DEF:1350
"And I thought my monsters could get creepy." Kuronazo mused, Spoiled Angel scratching her head at Cyclops.
"He has his use. Magic Card, Eye of Clarity, hatsudo." The eye markings on Mitsume's blindfold started to glow.
"Hmm?"
"The power of this card allows me to see all face-down cards controlled by one of my opponents." Mitsume turned to Kuronazo. "So, tell me, Kuronazo, what are you hiding?"
"Hmm. Gaze away." The back of Kuronazo's facedown turned transparent, showing the card to be Xyz Rotation.
Mitsume cocked her head with a smirk. "An interesting tactic."
"'Be prepared' is a mantra for the ages, after all." Kuronazo replied.
"Very true. Magic Card, Eye of Determination, hatsudo." Knight's visor and Cyclops's socket glowed with a light blue light. "With this card, all my Blinded monsters are able attack this turn." Mitsume pointed at Spoiled Angel. "Knight Blinded By Loyalty, attack Ghostrick Spoiled Angel." The knight leapt into action, jumping high into the ready to crash his Claymore down on his opponent.
"With 2100 Attack Points against 2500 Defense Points? What effect are you hiding from me?" Kuronazo wondered, Spoiled Angel reclining some more.
Mitsume picked another card. "Quick-Play Magic, Eye of Transfer, hatsudo. This card switches my monster's Attack Points with your monster's Attack or Defense Points, depending on the position." Spoiled Angel's eyes were made to glow light blue as well.
Spoiled Angel DEF:2100
Knight ATK:2500
"Clever. Too bad it was as obvious as it could be." Kuronazo said. "Ghostrick Imp no kouka hatsudo!" A goofy-looking blue imp pushed open a panel in the ground, looking around. "If a face-up Ghostrick monster I control is about to be attacked while Imp is in my hand, I can not only Special Summon Imp in face-down Defense Mode, but I can negate your attack and flip the target face-down as well." Imp looked at Spoiled Angel and grabbed her leg, pulling her through the panel (freaking her out in the process), closing it behind them before Knight's claymore slammed into the ground, which only revealed two card backs.
Mitsume shrugged. "Either way, it was still a success. Your Angel now has to start its count all over again."
Even though his mask, Kuronazo was clearly looking at her with disbelief. "…Are you serious? You obviously have never dealt with a Deck that even remotely uses face-down monsters." He deadpanned. "Xyz Monsters that are placed face-down retain their Overlay Units. They're just merely on standby until they are flipped face-up again."
Mitsume grabbed the bottom of her blindfold, lightly pulling on it. "At least I can still tell which one's which. Cyclops, attack Ghostrick Imp." Cyclops lumbered down the field, did a quick eeny-meeny with when it reached the two cards, grabbed it without reverting it to monster form, and swallowed it whole, burping afterwards. "Turn end."
"O-Ore no turn! Draw!" Suguru drew his card. "Notiki Flout, Shoukan!" His new monster appeared to be a tiki with a multicolored panflute built into it.
Notiki Flout: Lv.4 DARK Plant ATK:0/DEF:1900
'A total of four monsters on his field, eh?' Kuronazo mused.
Suguru glared at them. "Ore wa, Reberu Yon no Kalim to Flout de Obarei!" The kalimba and flute tikis turned fully purple before shooting into the air in a spiral, their music playing while they did. "Ni tai no monsuta de, Obarei Netwaaku kochiku!" A red spiral portal opened up, and both his monsters sailed inside. "Ekushiizu Shoukan!" The sound of maracas started playing, and a large club-like arm rose up. "Arawareyo... Ikasōjoō (Anger-Draped Queen)..." A large humanoid figure emerged, appearing feminine with a dark red and gray body, a ponytail of white hair sprouting from the head, green eyes, a bright red cape, hoof-like feet, and maraca-like clubs for arms. "Passacaglia in Aggression!" The monster slammed her clubs into the ground with an angry growl, a maraca sound being heard when she did, two red Overlay Units orbiting her.
Anger-Draped Queen - Passacaglia in Aggression: Rank 4 FIRE Warrior/Xyz ATK:1800/DEF:0 2 Overlay Units
'I knew that was coming.' Mitsume thought. 'His Number will be next.'
'How does a man in his situation have such a decent Deck? This will require some digging later.' Kuronazo thought.
"Ore wa, Reberu Yon no Xylos to Gongo de Obarei!" The xylophone and gong tikis turned fully purple, shooting into the air with their music. "Ni tai no monsuta de, Obarei Netwaaku kochiku!" Another red spiral portal opened up, the two monsters sailing inside. "Ekushiizu Shoukan!" This time, the sound of an accordion was heard as bellows opened and closed. "Arawareyo... Kanasōō (Misery-Draped King)..." Another humanoid monster appeared, this one masculine, having a dark blue and white body, yellow eyes that appeared droopy despite just being glows, accordion bellows for elbows and knees, a bright blue cape, and wind bellows attached to his back, which opened. "Dirge in Dejection!" The bellows closed with what sounded like a depressed sigh, an accordion heard alongside it, two blue Overlay Units orbiting him.
Misery-Draped King - Dirge in Dejection: Rank 4 WATER Warrior/Xyz ATK:0/DEF:2600 2 Overlay Units (Defense Mode)
"Two Xyz Monsters in one turn?" Kuronazo mused.
Mitsume was shocked. "Where did that one come from?"
"Notiki Flout no kouka hatsudo!" Suguru declared, as panflute music began playing. "If I use it with other Notiki monsters for an Xyz Summon, I can Special Summon another Notiki monster from my Deck!" The sound of a xylophone was heard again as another copy of Notiki Xylos appeared. "Notiki Xylos no kouka hatsudo! Xylos played its music again, calling out a new Notiki. "Koi, Notiki Lutrin!" This one resembled a tan lute, its music playing as it appeared.
Notiki Lutrin: Lv.4 DARK Plant ATK:0/DEF:1600
"That speed is incredible!" Kuronazo remarked.
"He had that power all this time..." Mitsume breathed.
"Ore wa, Reberu Yon no Xylos to Lutrin de Obarei!" For a third time, two Notikis turned fully purple and shot into the air with their music playing. "Ni tai no monsuta de, Obarei Netwaaku kochiku!" This time, however, a galaxy portal opened, and the two of them flew inside. "Ekushiizu Shoukan!" A burst of light erupted from the portal.
The number "80" formed and flashed in red, then the monster's sealed form appeared: A strange drum-like instrument, the sound of tribal drums being heard. "Arawareyo, Nanbaazu Hachijuu (Number 80)!" Two arms emerged from two of the four parts of the bottom, two legs emerging from the other two. "My precious melody... Kyōsō Haō (Madness-Draped Supreme King)..." The torso converted into a humanoid black-and-gold shape, a bright purple cape appearing where the back would be. "Rhapsody in Berserk!" The head emerged from what was left, revealing glowing red eyes, before it took a stance, two purple Overlay Units orbiting it.
Number 80: Madness-Draped Supreme King - Rhapsody in Berserk: Rank 4 DARK Warrior/Xyz ATK:0/DEF:1200 2 Overlay Units
'So… that's what this is all about. With such low stats, its effect must be pretty powerful.' Kuronazo mused.
Mitsume backstepped, clearly not expecting this sort of armada, only to meet Suguru's frenzied glare. "You… You will pay for taking my melody the first time! Rhapsody in Berserk no kouka hatsudo! Once per turn, I can use one Overlay Unit to banish all Monster, Magic, or Trap Cards from my opponent's Graveyard!" Suguru declared as Rhapsody absorbed one of the purple Units into its armor. Suguru pointed at Mitsume. "You! I banish all of your Magic Cards!" Rhapsody's fist glowed before it punched the ground, sending out a shockwave that uprooted Mitsume's 3 Magic Cards, obliterating them.
Rhapsody in Berserk: 1 Overlay Unit
"Dirge in Dejection no kouka hatsudo! When a card is banished from any Graveyard, my opponent takes 200 damage for each one!" Dirge's bellows on his back contracted before a blizzard blew from his head at Mitsume, who held her ground, shielding her face against the cold blast.
Mitsume LP:3400
"Furthermore, Rhapsody in Berserk no kouka hatsudo! I can now equip it to a monster I control and increase its Attack Points by 1200!" Rhapsody then morphed into strange armor and equipped itself to Passacaglia in Aggression, the armor turning her whole body golden and making her yell.
Passacaglia ATK:3000
"3000 Attack Points... the power of a cornered rattlesnake at its finest." Kuronazo mused, Mitsume groaning at this upset.
"Passacaglia in Aggression, attack The Knight Blinded By Loyalty!" Passacaglia slammed her club-like arms on the ground before charging forward.
"…The Knight Blinded By Loyalty no kouka hatsudo. If targeted for an attack, his Attack and Defense Points are reduced to 0." The Knight slumped over, hanging limply.
The Knight Blinded By Loyalty ATK:0/DEF:0
'What is she planning?' Kuronazo thought.
"HA! And I was worried for nothing." Suguru growled. "You're about to lose, mean lady."
"Are you so blind to what's in front of you?" Mitsume asked. "Quick-Play Magic, Eye of Transfer, hatsudo." Her facedown started to rise, but it stopped in its tracks as eerie music played, making it crackle with electricity. "Nani?"
"It seems he saw through you. Look." Kuronazo said, pointing forward. Mitsume turned to see an active Trap on Suguru's field.
"This time, I had my Trap Card: Curse Beat!" Suguru declared. "This card negates the activation of a Magic or Trap Card so long as I control at least two Xyz Monsters, then destroys it!" The Eye of Transfer copy exploded. "But then, the Attack Points of all monsters my opponent controls are returned to their original amounts!" The power of the music caused Knight to regain his strength.
The Knight Blinded By Loyalty ATK:2100/DEF:1600
"Continue your attack, Passacaglia!" Passacaglia slammed her armored club into the knight, who tried and failed to block it with his sword, being plowed into the dirt and exploding.
Mitsume LP:2500
'Kuso... I defeated him effortlessly before... How did he manage this?' Mitsume thought.
"Passacaglia in Aggression no kouka hatsudo!"
"Eh?"
"When this card destroys a monster by battle... it can attack another monster you control!" Passacaglia's eyes flash red. "Attack The Cyclops Blinded By Hunger!" Passacaglia immediately turned to Cyclops and slammed it into the dirt with her arm.
"The Cyclops Blinded By Hunger no kouka hatsudo." Mitsume said. "If the difference between the Attack Points of the two monsters is 1000 or more, Cyclops prevents any Battle Damage."
Mitsume LP:2500
Suguru growled. "Passacaglia in Aggression no kouka hatsudo!"
"Nani? But I control no monsters now!"
"...Once per turn, if you control no monsters after it destroys a monster by battle, I can use one Overlay Unit... to Special Summon a monster from your Graveyard!" Passacaglia absorbed one of her Overlay Units before shaking her arms, emitting maraca music and creating a purple portal and pulling Knight back onto the field. "And then, that monster's Attack Points are changed to 1000!" The maraca music gave Knight a red aura.
Knight ATK:1000
Passacaglia: 1 Overlay Unit
Mitsume gasped. 'But with Knight's effect, its ATK will actually be 0, which means…'
"Crush her, Passacaglia! Punish her for taking my melody from me!" Suguru declared. Her eyes glowing red, Passacaglia leapt forward, intent on caving Knight's face in again.
'…To think I'd have to use this now.' Mitsume pressed a button on her disk as an explosion erupted on her field from the attack.
Kuronazo merely looked on. 'Did you have an ace up your sleeve... or is this your end?'
