Shadow's POV:
After getting back home, I laid out my deck evenly and went to the living room as my bizarre family came to life. First off, Clockwork Knight became a spirit, life-sized and greeted with his English voice, "So, how was your duel?" I replied as I went over to the fridge and grabbed a soda, "Like usual." Gagaga Magician Girl asked, "So, did you meet a special someone?" I turned red slightly as I shook my head, "No, no I didn't."
Just then, all the spirits went back into their cards as darkness flood the room. I looked around and saw what looked like Astral, but corrupted. He laughed wickedly as he said to me, "Thank you for freeing me! I will now have you become my host and have you do my biding!" I asked as I casually sat down, "And you are?" He sat across from me and replied simply, "I'm Number 96: Dark Mist." I sighed and stated, "You're aura says to me that you are confused at something." He said slowly while eyeing me, "You have numbers. Powerful ones, for that matter. However, I sense you have monsters even MORE powerful than the numbers themselves." I smirked and simply said, "I'm a man of many mysteries." I then stood up and said while pulling out a card, "Now, heel." He screamed in pain as he was sealed back into his card and trapped there.
I then went over to my ace deck as the darkness lifted. My ace cards, the REAL aces... They are a force to be reckoned with. Clockwork Knight said as I went to bed, "If there's any numbers in the final match, you know what to do." I nodded and replied before drifting off to sleep, "Do some editing."
Meanwhile with Yuma...
Yuma's POV:
"I don't know! If Dark Mist is free and someone got him, complete chaos will reign on us all!" Astral spoke, "Deep breath." I did so and asked, "Who do you think has him?" "Most likely Shadow." "Shadow?!" "Yes. However, I felt a great presence near him. And the presence itself was greater than the numbers." My eyes widen. "Greater than the numbers?! Who is he?" "Maybe we'll find out what the presence is, tomorrow. Be ready to face the opponent, Yuma. I fear there is a number waiting for us."
I barely slept that night.
The next morning...
I yawned and waited for Shadow to arrive. When he arrived, he looked completely like a cosplayer for his Symphony monster ace. He explained as he stretched in his uniform, "I was in a commercial shoot. It's expected to air in a few hours." I nodded and yawned. He asked, "Did you get ANY sleep?" I shook my head as he reached into his pocket and spoke, "Oh yeah, I believe this is yours and Astral's." He handed me back Dark Mist as he explained, "Don't worry, I sealed him inside the card." Astral took it back and asked, "Who are you?" "I'm Shadow." I looked at him before we got up to the field and got ready to duel.
Shadow's POV:
The opponents' names are Bling and Sharp. Bling was decked out in diamonds and cash to express his wealth while Sharp had a lot of cuts on his clothes, and him.
Bling asked, "Yo! I'm going to make you run out of cash on those decks of yours!" Sharp added, "And I'll cut you both down to size." Yuma told me, "They're confident..." I just huffed and replied, "Please. My "ace of hearts" will finish them off before they know it." We all yelled, "Let's duel!"
Blink and Sharp: 4000
Yuma and Shadow: 4000
I shouted, "I'll start this off!" I looked at my cards. First, I need to know what attribute they use. That in mind, I shouted, "I thrown two face downs and end my turn." Bling shouted, "It's my move!" I shouted, "Not so fast! First, I activate my trap card, One out of Three! Here's how it works. I get to see both of your extra decks and compare the amount of monster card I declare in them. And since the only ones are Fusion, Synchro, and Xyz, I'll take a look and see how many Xyz monsters you have!"
Both shouted, "What?!" I grinned and took a look. Both of them have numbers, alright. "Earth" attribute, to be exact. However, both of their extras out number mind. I sighed and explained, "The side effect is that you guys gain 3,000 life points." Bling shouted, "Then we're getting our score up!"
Yuma's POV:
I can't believe our opponents are getting more points. Shadow smirked and shouted, "Not quite. Remember my other face down? It's also a trap card, a continuous one! It's called Bad reaction to Simochi!" The aura of the previous trap floated up and turned grey as Shadow explained, "Get this! When ever you would gain life points, it becomes effect damage instead! And it's equal to the amount you would've gained!" Our eyes widened as the grey aura resembled a demon's head and charged into Bling and Sharp.
Bling and Sharp: 4000 = 1000
Bling growled and shouted, "Listen, bub! Since you just took some life out of us, I'm allowed to summon Crystal Crab from my hand!" A crab made of entirely crystals appears breaking through the ground.

Bling added, "And whenever one of these babies are out, I'm allowed to special summon Copy Crab!" A huge crab with a metallic exoskeleton appears.

Bling shouted, "I now activate my Copy Crab's special ability! It becomes the same level as the one other monster on the field!"

Bling finished, "Now, witness how I'll cash you two losers out! I overlay my two level 4 monsters to build the overlay network and Xyz summon, Number 52: Diamond Crab King!" A giant blue crab with diamonds on its back appeared out of the ground.

I stated, "There it is..." Shadow added, "Earth Attribute, with no attack points?" Bling ended his turn as I proceed to mine.
I scanned my cards and shouted, "I summon Goblindbergh!"

"I activated it's special ability! When it is summoned, by changing it to defense position, I can special summon a level 4 monster from my hand! So come on out Ganbara Knight!"

I finished, "I end my turn with a face down."
It was then that Sharp proceeded to his turn.
He shouted, "I summon Gagaga Magician!" The same magician that Yuma has appeared on his side of the field.

Level: 4
Attribute: Dark
Type: Spellcaster/Effect
ATK: 1500
Sharp continued, "I activate it's special ability, making it level 7!"

"I then summon Gagaga Child!" A small ginger wearing a hat similar to his older sibling appeared.

"It's effect kicks in, making it's level the same as my magician!"

He concluded, "I end my turn." Shadow shouted, "It's my turn, then!"
Shadow's POV:
Oh, the options of which one to summon! I can summon my most powerful Earth monster, or I can simply destroy them all. I thought through it, and knew what I had to do.
My friend is going to have a feast!
Third Person POV:
The ground shook as the sky darkened. Bling asked, "What's going on?!" Sharp stated, "An Earthquake?" Shadow laughed as Yuma stares at him in fright and asked, "What's so funny?" Shadow smirked as he explained, "One of my friends is hungry. He needs a meal to satisfy his hunger. He may not be a number, but he likes eating them! Certain ones, actually."
The ground cracked as Shadow yelled, "This is my field spell, Great Crevasse! Don't fall in!" A huge scar on the ground appeared. Shadow laughed and continued, "My friend is coming soon. Very soon... It won't be long now..."
Everyone looked in fright as a huge aura appeared with glowing red eyes.
