Vile: Vile here with Chapter 4 of Numbershot C13. The others aren't here with me because I didn't want them attacking me for what I'm gonna do here. This is the warning I gave everyone, but I'm not sure if it's really M quality, so I gave it the rating to be safe. I really hope I don't lose fans because of this chapter. At any rate, disclaimer's on the first page, any bolded cards are mine. Enjoy (I hope).
Numbershot C13: True Love Shines Through All
Chapter 4
Yuma, Kotori, Astral, Hope, Love, and Mistress Nekomusume (Revise Dragon's reaction could not be discerned) stood in horror at the massive fiend that was actually a Photon. The atmosphere and appearance of it was not akin to them.
Photon Number Destroyer: Rank 6 LIGHT Fiend/Xyz ATK:3300/DEF:2200 3 Overlay Units
"This beast that you see before you… this is MY method of obtaining the Numbers." The Distributor told them. "Now that it stands here… There is nothing you can do to defeat me! But first things first! Your Numbers are now tied to your lives by Number Bond!" Two more dark streams went through Mistress Nekomusume and Revise Dragon before anchoring themselves within Yuma and Kotori's chests. "Hah hah hah hah! Now the stage is set! Photon Number Destroyer no kouka hatsudo!" The massive fiend absorbed one of its Overlay Units into the slashed digits on its chest.
Photon Number Destroyer: 2 Overlay Units
"Now, until my next Standby Phase, the effects of all Numbers currently on the field are negated, and they cannot attack! And since Photon Number Destroyer does not count as a Number monster, it is safe from its own effect!" The digits on the fiend's chest glowed, as did the slash. Then, an energy form of the slash fired out and split into four, slashing across all four Numbers and leaving them powerless.
All four of them fell to the ground, weakened. "Bakana… I feel as if all my power is gone…" Love groaned.
"This monster… it's not normal…" Hope moaned.
"Ah, hah hah hah hah! Now, prepare to feel the true power of my Number Destroyer! Since Number 90 was Special Summoned by the effect of my Number Caller, no Magic or Trap Cards can be activated in battles with them! Photon Number Destroyer! Attack Revise Dragon!" The monster's single yellow eye began to glow, but the glow suddenly turned black. The "1" and "7" on the monster's chest glowed, and the black glow was tinged with blue. "Number… Crushing… STREAM!" A massive black-and-blue energy beam was fired from the eye. The beam went straight through Revise Dragon, causing it to roar in pain as it collapsed, disintegrating into a mass of blue particles.
Yuma LP:2000
All of a sudden, the tether between Yuma and Revise Dragon began sparking on Revise Dragon's end. Then, the lightning shot across the tether, shooting right through Yuma (though leaving no visible injuries). Electricity shocked his entire body harshly. "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" He screamed in intense pain.
"YUMA!/YUMA!" Kotori and Astral cried. The lightning died down, causing Yuma to fall to his hands and knees. His whole body shook, and he was panting heavily.
Yuma LP:1000
"Now do you see? This is the pain my Number Bond inflicts upon you! But now that you have tasted its power… it is HER turn now! When Photon Number Destroyer destroys a Number monster by battle, it can attack once more, so long as the target is also a Number! Destroyer, obliterate Mistress Nekomusume! Number Crushing Stream!" The eye glowed yellow again, and this time the "9" and "0" glowed. The eye turned black, and was tinged with orange. Then, a black-and-orange beam of energy was fired, blasting straight through the feline Number. Mistress meowed in pain as her body disintegrated into orange particles.
Kotori LP:2000
The tether between Kotori and her Number sparked, then shot back at her, shooting through her and surging her body with the same electricity. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"
"K-KOTORI!" Yuma cried.
Kotori LP:1000
The girl fell down to the floor, collapsing and panting heavily. Yuma pulled himself to his feet and staggered to her, picking her up and holding her. His face was one of worry. "Kotori… are you all right?"
Kotori struggled to turn her head to Yuma. "No… that hurt… so bad…" She moaned, laying her head on Yuma's chest.
Yuma glared at the Number Distributor. "You monster…" He growled.
The Distributor chuckled. "'Monster'…? I'll take that as a compliment. Since Number Caller was sent to the Graveyard, it is banished, meaning another Chaos Counter is added to my Field Magic!" An image of the monster appeared before turning into a galaxy, which moved outside of the grid.
Chaos Zone: 8 Chaos Counters
"I place two cards facedown… Turn end! Make your comeback… if you can."
Yuma gritted his teeth, setting Kotori back down on the ground. "Ore no turn… Draw!" He drew his card. "I still have one option to beat you with… Astral!"
The spirit nodded. "Do it!"
Yuma felt power enter him. "CHAOS XYZ CHANGE!" Hope grunted and changed into his sealed form. A galaxy portal opened up, and the sealed form and Overlay Units entered it. "Arawareyo, Kaosu Nanbaazu Sanjuukyuu (Chaos Number 39)! Kibou Ou… Hope Ray!" A burst of light occurred.
The number "39" formed and flashed in red, but suddenly became murky-textured. The black-and-gold sealed form arose in the darkness, then began changing its form. Its wings unfolded as the black-armored warrior took a stance, its three yellow Overlay Units circling it.
Chaos Number 39: Aspiring Emperor Hope Ray: Rank 4 LIGHT Warrior/Xyz ATK:2500/DEF:2000 3 Overlay Units
"The Chaos Number!" The Distributor realized.
"Hope Ray…" Love breathed, happy to see him.
Yuma took a step forward. "This monster has been the savior of many victims of the Numbers… now it's time to defeat the source of them! Hope Ray no kouka hatsudo! By using an Overlay Unit, his Attack Points are increased by 500 for each one until the turn's end! I use all three Overlay Units! Overlay CHARGE!" Hope Ray unsheathed his giant sword, absorbing all three Overlay Units into it, his black armor turning white.
Hope Ray ATK:4000
"And for every Unit I used, one of your monsters loses 1000 Attack Points until the turn's end!" Photon Number Destroyer suddenly felt weak.
Photon Number Destroyer ATK:300
"Kuso!" The Distributor cried.
"'Kibou Ou Hope Ray! Attack Photon Number Destroyer!" Yuma and Astral cried. "Hope Blade, Chaos SLASH!" Hope Ray brandished his side sword and dashed forward to attack.
Then, the Distributor suddenly laughed. "HAH HAH HAH HAH! Did you forget the power I wield, Tsukumo-baka? Not even the Chaos Numbers are capable of saving you! Trap Card, Number Stopper, hatsudo!" His facedown flipped up, ten Number digits on it. The "3" and "9" on it glowed before red images of them moved in front of Destroyer, creating a barrier that completely prevented Hope Ray's attack.
"Bakana!" Astral cried.
"Number Stopper is one of my many measures against the Numbers. Not only does it negate an attack made by a Number, but it also ends your turn!"
"N-Nani?" Yuma cried.
"Yes, it is Kotori's turn now." The girl began to draw, but she was cut off. "Actually, mind if I cut in again? Trap Card, Chaos Distraction, hatsudo! This is a special card of mine. By removing 8 Chaos Counters from my Chaos Zone Field Magic… I can immediately skip your turn!"
"No!" Kotori cried. The eight galaxies converged within the grid, altering the AR display to show that it was now the Number Distributor's turn.
Chaos Zone: 0 Chaos Counters
"Hah hah hah hah… Watashi no turn… DRAW!" The Distributor drew his cards, and the effect that hindered Love had passed. "You fools should've known what you were getting yourselves into. The Number Hunt is not a game… It is a WAR! And guess what? You just LOST! Photon Number Destroyer no kouka hatsudo!" Two energy slashed fired from the Fiend's body, slicing Hope Ray and Love's power from them. "Now… IT'S OVER! Photon Number Destroyer! Attack the female!" The eye glowed, and the "1" and "3" glowed. The eye turned black, and was tinged with yellow. "Farewell, Mizuki! Number Crushing… STREAM!" A black-and-yellow stream of energy shot out from the eye, aiming towards Love.
"AAAAAAAHHHH!" The female Number screamed.
Then… Yuma's voice rang out. "Trap Card, Last-Ditch Defense, hatsudo!" All of a sudden, Love was pushed out of the way of the blast, Hope Ray now standing in her place.
"Nani?" The Distributor cried.
"Last-Ditch Defense lets me end the Battle Phase after you attack… and I can choose the attack target." Yuma said solemnly. "So… to protect Kotori and Love… Hope Ray will take this attack!"
Hope Ray braced himself for the attack. "Don't do it, Hope!" Love cried.
The warrior retracted his face armor and looked at her solemnly. "Gomen-nasai… Love… MY love…" He said. "I know what will happen to me… But I'd rather it be me than you!" He looked back at the oncoming blast. "Suki Joou Love… I shall die… SO YOU MAY LIVE!" The energy beam then tore through the Chaos Number, right through the chest. "GYAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"
Yuma LP:200
"HOPE!" Love shrieked. The warrior fell limply to the ground, landing hard. The mage quickly went to him, her eyes threatening to release her tears. "Hope! Don't die, Hope! Speak to me!"
The fallen warrior turned his head to her, groaning weakly. "Love… it's all… up to you… Goodbye…" Hope Ray's eyes closed with a final groan, his body disintegrating into yellow particles.
"Hope… no…" Love muttered, her body shaking. Then she screamed to the sky. "NOOOOOOOOO!" She fell back to her hands and knees, her staff long since dropped, her tears falling from her eyes like a downpour.
"Hope Ray… is gone…" Kotori breathed. Then it hit her. "B-But that means!" She snapped her head to Yuma, who had his head down.
"Just like Hope did for Love… I will do anything to protect you…" He told her. "…Even if it means giving my own life. It's up to you to help Astral now…"
"No… Yuma…" Kotori muttered, her eyes filling with tears.
The other end of the Number Bond between Yuma and Hope sparked, and then shot back toward Yuma. Yuma snapped his head to it and clenched his eyes, tears forming in them. "Gomen-nasai… Kotori… Astral… GOODBYE!" Opening his eyes and accepting his fate, the lightning shot straight through Yuma… but it was different this time. The lightning was solid, piercing a hole straight through Yuma's chest. Yuma's eyes went dull as he let out choking groans as he hovered limply in the air. Drops of his blood sailed from his wound, and his tears flew from his face.
Kotori and Astral couldn't hold their voices. "YUMA!/YUMA!" They shrieked. The boy's body finally ceased its air time, landing on the ground in a heap, Yuma's eyes slowly shutting with a final grunt.
Yuma LP:0 – ELIMINATED
"Yuma!" Kotori cried, rushing over to his side. She knelt down beside him and laid her hands on him. His shirt was soaking up the blood from his wound, but it was still grisly. Kotori shook Yuma, desperately trying to wake him up.
"Yuma! Yuma! Wake up, Yuma!" Astral cried, horror-struck. He wanted to help, but he couldn't even touch Yuma.
Kotori checked Yuma's wrist for a pulse… but found nothing. She let his arm hit the ground as the grim reality set in. "Yuma…"
Yuma Tsukumo… was dead.
From afar, the Number Distributor watched with a sick grin. "Heh. Two card facedown. Turn end." The facedowns formed. His body then shook… and the most vile sound came from him. "Hahahahaha… Ahahahahahaha, AHAHAHAHAHAHA, AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" (A/N: The Mephiles the Dark laugh in the Last Story of Sonic 06, look for it on YouTube.)
The barrier holding back the girl's tears broke, letting them stream down her face. "No… No…!" Cradling Yuma's head in her arms, her whole body shook… and she mirrored her Number, letting out a shriek to the heavens.
"YUMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
