"Monochrome" shouted, "Get ready, Steam! This will be the beginning of your end!" Steam replied, "Actually, it's merely the beginning."
Gemios' POV:
I declared, "Lancelot, activate your ability! This guy can attack you directly! Go, Lancelot!" The number attacked directly with its lance, by passing the other knight.
Steam: 4000=2000
I shouted, "Now his effect activates! Since his attack was successful, every monster on your field that has less attack points than double of his, is destroyed!" She stated, "Not quite. I activate the second effect of Mistress. When she's about to be destroyed, I can merely detach one overlay unit to negate the destruction!" I declared, "It doesn't really matter since by using one overlay unit, Lancelot can negate that effect!" Steam countered, "I send Clockwork Armor from my hand to the grave to negate its destruction." I growled and finished, "I end my turn with a face down."
"Then it's my turn! I activate Mistress' third and final ability! By using one overlay unit, I can special summon any Clockwork monster from my graveyard, and I choose it's shell, Number m39: Clockwork Utopia!"
Number m39: Clockwork Utopia
Rank: 4
Attribute: Light
Type: Xyz/Warrior/Effect
ATK: 2500
I declared, "Before anything happens, I activate the trap Necro Power!" A portal appeared as I explained, "This is how it works. By targeting my Underworld Knight: Necro, he is resurrected to the field, with his attack points doubled! Also, if you were to wager an attack, Necro is the target! However, I take damage equal to Necro original attack points and he is destroyed during my next turn."
Underworld Knight: Necro
Rank: 4
Attribute: Dark
Type: Warrior/Xyz/Effect
ATK: 2500
Underworld Knight: Necro
ATL: 2500=5000
Steam complimented, "Nice move to avoid destruction, but that isn't enough! I activate from my grave, the effect of Clockwork Armor! When it's in my graveyard, I can target one of your monsters and equip the armor. As an addition, you can't attack with it. I'll end my turn here, which means that Necro bids farewell along with your life points!"
Rio's POV:
An explosion occurred as Gemios flew back.
Monochrome: 3800=1300
He just got back up on his feet and stated, "Time for my come back..." He drew a card and smiled. He shouted, "I play the card I just drew! The spell card known as Underworld Present! By detaching two overlay units from an Underworld monster, I can draw two cards!" He drew two and continued, "Next, I activate Underworld Charge! This allows me to summon as many knights from my grave as I can, just so long as they are xyz monsters. Come on back, Gardna, Pierce, Necro!"
Underworld Knight: Necro
Rank: 4
Attribute: Dark
Type: Warrior/Xyz/Effect

Underworld Knight: Gardna
Rank: 4
Attribute: Dark
Type: Warrior/Xyz/Effect
ATK: 500
Underworld Knight: Pierce

Steam stated, "That won't change a thing!" He replied, "Actually, my victory is insured. You see, there's the other card I drew, Underworld Surprise! This time, every Underworld monster have their effects negated, aren't affected by any other effects, and can wager a direct attack!" "What?!" Gemios smirked as he commanded, "Lancelot! Pierce! Necro! Gardna! Give her four heaping servings of hurt!" She screamed as the Underworld Knights attacked her.
Steam: 4000=0
Monochrome wins!
Yuma's POV:
I ran up to Monochrome and cheered, "You won!" He remained quite as he walked over to Steam. Steam looked at him and asked, "What is it?" He offered his hand and asked, "What's the story behind this place?" Steam took it and said while getting up, "You might as well know the story behind this place."
The scene around us blurred as she explained, "You see, there were sixty knights. We each sat at a specific place where we discussed the problems. One day, a knight fell from the heavens. All but I were shocked, not knowing what to do. However, I took the mysterious knight under my care, and eventually grew close to him. We balanced out each other. Eventually, he proposed to me, and I accepted. However, on our wedding day, everything took a turn for the worst. A deadly shaman appeared, demanding my fiancée to be turned in or the land will be destroyed with us in it. So, my would-be husband took his three lives for us, taking three cards to his heart. The words he spoke to me were to give "Yuma" a card with our power inside. He then descended into the great beyond..." Steam explained, "Steam is merely my nickname given by my fiancée. My real name..." She gave off a radiant glow as we found ourselves back on the airship. We looked as she finished, "Is Mistress Hope!"
I looked in awe, but Monochrome stated, "That's crazy. Spirits? Knights? Shaman? This is not kindergarten. Later, losers. I'm out." He then jumped off the boat and when we checked, he wasn't around. Mistress tapped me on the shoulder and spoke, "I believe this now belongs to you." I looked and saw that it was Clockwork Release... I asked, "Wait. Does that mean that you and your friends will help us?" She nodded and replied, "Correct. However, I will not be in battle until I truly need to. Farewell, and luck be with you." She was enveloped with light before colliding with my key, sealing herself from within.
On Barian world...
Gemios' POV:
I appeared before Dumon and reported, "There was a spell card. However, it's worthless. It only works on certain numbers." Dumon asked, "What kind?" "Clockwork. Basically machine-like versions of the ones we know." "Did you feel anything?" "Only my Dark Traitor burning with hate." "Which one?" "All three." "How odd... Nothing ever happened like this." I nodded in agreement and asked, "So, where are Alito and Girag?" "They're off to find the other numbers." "In that case, I want to discuss something with you..."
Well, this is getting interesting. I'm feeling generous, and out of ideas, for dark numbers that will appear.
So, please vote on my poll, which monsters will become dark.
