Hi everyone, DisneyAnimefan94 here and welcome back to Barian Wars: Battle of the Barians. Now after looking into a crystal ball I can see that we are right near the end of this story and this major project I've been working on for a while. So just a few more chapters to go and then we're done. So let's make the moment last with this new chapter. So as always enjoy.
Disclaimer: I don't own Zexal, or the words of the song used in the preview.
Chapter 18: Two on Don
Ryan's POV
I looked out on to the duel field as I looked to see Shark and Yuma get ready for their duel against the deity Don Thousand.
"Good luck you guys." I said to myself as I looked down to see Rio's ring still in my hand as I held it tightly.
"Hey Ryan, you okay?" I heard Stephanie ask as I looked at her and nodded.
"Hey don't worry Ryan." Tori said. "I'm sure once the guys beat this creep everything will hopefully go back to normal." She said.
"Yeah Ryan, so don't give up hope." My sister said as I smiled at her and looked onto the field.
"I'm sure hope you're right sis." I said as the duel began. And just like last turn on Don Thousand's first turn, he just drew a card and ended his turn. "This is the same as last time when Mizar dueled him." I said. On Yuma's turn, he summoned Toy Knight and then summoned Gagaga Magician thanks to his knight's ability. Then he xyz summoned his Utopia on his turn. "Alright, Yuma's ace." I said. But just when I said that the entire field began to glow as Utopia then vanished and in its place was Ganbara Knight.
"What's Ganbara Knight doing here?" Tori asked.
"What trick are you pulling Don Thousand?" Shark asked.
"I don't need tricks." Don Thousand replied. "I only need this trap." He said as he reviled his trap card, Numeron Xyz Revision. With its effect, what looked like Yuma xyz summoned a monster, he summoned a different one. "As you can see I have the power over the past, present and future, meaning I have rewritten history." He replied.
"Then that can only mean one thing." Astral said. "Don Thousand as fully acquired the Numeron Code." He said as we all gasped.
"Correct Astral." Don Thousand said. "By fusing Barian World with Earth, I have activated the field spell Numeron Network, giving me mastery over the Numeron Code." He said as we all gasped. "When I have no cards on my field, I can activate a Numeron card from my deck, to rewrite this duel in my favor."
"It's just like Sargasso all over again." I said as the girls sounded confused. "This place is now a field spell just like when we dueled against Mizar, Dumon and Vector."
"Then this must explain how Mizar was so easily defeated." Astral noted.
"Indeed." Don Thousand replied. "Numeron Network let me activate the trap Numeron Spell Revison, which allowed me to change Mizar's spell into a card in my favor instead." He said. "Mizar never stood a chance, he was never in control of his cards."
"So you rewrote history to sabotage Mizar's strategy!" Shark yelled out angrily.
"Then that means that Don Thousand will win." Tori said worriedly.
"But then how is Don Thousand in control of the Numeron Code?" Astral asked. "It is hidden on Earth, and only when all the numbers are collected, it can be found." I then realized something of what both Astral and Don Thousand said.
"That's right." I said as I looked back. "When Barian World and Earth fused together, he found it."
"I was wondering if you all figured it out." Don Thousand said as we looked back at him. "It is true. I do not know where the Numeron Code rests, but I have no means of locating it now. The Earth belongs to me, including the Numeron Code." He said as he then raised his arm. "With its power, I can rip a hole in the dimensional barrier, meaning I can destroy Astral's home world of Astral World." He said as he opened the sky above him to a bright blue planet, as we all gasped. "And may I add, for every point of damage you take so will Astral World. Extinction lies ahead for both your worlds, and there is nothing you can do to stop it." He said as we looked on. "It is my destiny to rule the galaxy."
"As if!" Yuma answered back. "We are going to take you down." He then set a card face down. It then returned back to Don Thousand's turn and this time he played the spell card Numeron Calling, allowing him to summon four numbers at once that were one thousand attack points or less. He then summoned the first four numbers, Number 4: Numeron Gate Catvari, Number 3: Numeron Gate Trini, Number 2: Numeron Gate Dve and finally Number 1: Numeron Gate Ekam. The ground shook as his giant Ekam appeared, as then they all combined to form what Don Thousand called the Numeron Gate.
"Come on Yuma, smash that gate!" Tori cheered. "It only has one thousand attack points each." She said. Just then Don Thousand attacked Yuma's knight with Ekam, but then Yuma activated his trap card Half Unbreak to half the damage.
"That's right." I said. "Now that Don Thousand has cards on his side of the field, he can't activate the field spell."
"Yeah Ryan but look." Stephanie pointed up to sky to see a energy beam head straight for Astral World. "Remember what Don Thousand said? When Yuma and Nash take damage, so does Astral World." She said as I gasped.
"Tell Astral, how does it feel to face your own Armageddon?" He asked as he then went on to activate his Ekam's special ability.
"But wait, Ekam doesn't have any overlay units to use." I said confused at this.
"It's true, but with the Numeron Network field spell in play, I don't need overlay units to activate my monster's special ability." Then he used his Ekam's special ability to double all of his numbers attack points, meaning that they all now had two thousand attack points.
"So that means, after every attack, those four numbers get stronger." I said. As then I saw Astral leave the field. "Hey where's he going?" I wondered.
"So the cowered fled." Don Thousand said. "He must've known that resistance is futile." He then activated Dve ability as the gate opened to reveal a lizard like creature. As Dve attacked, Yuma activated his trap card again, halving the battle damage as both his and Shark's life points dropped to twenty five hundred.
"Oh no, Shark!" I cried out. As Dve activated its special ability, and much like Ekam it doubled all the monsters on field meaning each one now had four thousand attack points. Just then Trini attacked as Yuma once again activated his Half Unbreak trap card as both his and Shark's combined life points now dropped to five hundred.
"Yuma!" Tori cried out as I looked at my brother.
"Hang in there bro." I muttered as Trini activated its special ability meaning now all four monsters had eight thousand attack points. "That's enough to wipe them out!" I said.
"The time has come, farewell." Don Thousand as his final monster prepared to attack. But just then Shark activated Cutter Shark's special ability, switching places with Ganbara Knight in defense mode preventing damage.
"Way to go Shark!" As Shark looked at me and nodded and looked back. But thanks to his final monster, all four monster's attack points doubled now at sixteen thousand.
"Sixteen thousand?" Tori asked.
"This sounds bad." Stephanie agreed. But just as things seemed to be worse, Don Thousand activated the field spell again, allowing him to rank up one of his monsters as he chose Ekam into Chaos Number 1: Numeron Chaos Gate Shunya." He said as the ground shook as his monster then appeared. Then he activated his Shunya's ability banishing every monster on his side of the field, and when it returned, both Shark and Yuma would take damage equal to every monster that was banished.
"No…" I said as I then looked at my brother. "Shark?" It was my brother's turn as he summoned Boom Shark activating his spell card Aqua Jet. "No Shark wait!" I yelled out but it was too late. Don Thousand activated the field spell's effect, sending one card to the graveyard sending Numeron Spell Revison, changing Shark's Aqua Jet into the Surface spell card, summoning back Cutter Shark in defense points. And sadly thanks to Boom Shark's ability, when another monster is on the field it self-destructs as it was then gone. But then he played the spell Rank Up rising since his water monster was destroyed, he can play a rank up card, and he played the emperors signature spell card, Rank Up Magic the Seventh One, special summoning Number 101: Silent Honor Ark and then ranking it up to chaos xyz summon Chaos Number 101: Silent Honor Dark. Now thanks to Silent Honor Dark he activated its special ability, letting him special summon Silent Honor Ark back from the graveyard. "And since the field spell can only be activated once per turn, that means Don Thousand can't rewrite Shark's spell card." I said. He then attacked with both barian numbers but on his second attack, Don Thousand special summoned Numberon Wall to protect himself. Just then Don Thousand made a projection appear as he showed Astral with a duel monsters card. "So that's where Astral went." I said. "He went to go destroy the field spell."
"So Astral, what are you planning?" Don Thousand asked the blue alien.
"Simple, I will take the Numeron field spell and then destroy it." Astral answered back.
"Interesting." Don Thousand replied. "But if you destroyed it then all the energy that's holding it will be released rippling out in all directions." He warned. "Astral World may survive, but Earth will be destroyed." He said. "So what will you do now Astral?" Don Thousand asked. "If you do not destroy it, then I will most likely destroy your friends and your home." He said as Astral then paused. He then reached out for the field spell and sent it to the duel field. Hen activated his chaos monsters ability again to take Numeron Wall and use it as an chaos overlay unit. He then activated his spell card Depth Eruption, destroying all the cards on the field.
"Shark don't!" I yelled out but it was too late as the field spell and both of his monsters were destroyed. "No." I said as I looked back. "Then that means our world will be destroyed."
"Everyone, can you hear me?" Astral asked as we all looked into the projection. "Do not worry, Earth will be fine, I will absorb all the energy." He said.
"But that means you will be destroyed too!" Yuma cried out.
"Do not worry Yuma, you will not lose." Astral replied as he then faced us. "You must feel the flow." He said as he began to glow.
"No not again!" I cried out as then another person appeared and pushed Astral out of the way.
"Eliphas?" My sister asked as I then looked at her and then looked back.
"That's Eliphas?" I asked remembering the story my sister told. Just then Eliphas then began to absorb the power of the energy. He then looked up.
"Stephanie." He said. "I know you are there and I want to thank you for doing all you can." He said as I then turned to my sister as tears began flowing from her eyes. "Good bye." He said as a bright light then appeared and then disappeared. As the light disappeared I looked to see the crystal hanging around my sister's neck disappeared.
"Good bye Eliphas." She said as I went over to her and comported her. I then looked back to see that Astral had reappeared by Yuma's side. Just then Shark activated his chaos monsters effect special summoning back to the field and gaining life points equal to its original attack points meaning the group was now back up to thirty three hundred.
"Alright, now they are back in the game." I said with a smile as the duel continued on. It was then Don Thousand's turn as the effect of Shunya activated as it returned to the deity's side of the field. "With the field spell gone, Shunya can't do anything, meaning it's now destroyed." I said with a grin as Shumya was soon destroyed.
"Do you think I would go down that easily?" Don Thousand asked as if he wasn't fazed. "I have prepared for every possibility." He said as he then activated Numeron Chaos Ritual, treating his four numbers and Numeron Network in his graveyard as five level twelve monsters, overlayed them and xyz summoned Chaos Number 1000: Numerronius. It was a huge winged monster as big as Shark's chaos barian number, it was a rank twelve monster with ten thousand attack points. We all gasped in horror as Don Thousand attacked with his massive number. Just then Shark activated his trap card Tidal-Advantage, preventing his chaos monster from being destroyed. However they still took damage as their life points dropped to eleven hundred and their damage was sent straight to Astral World. But to make matters worse, Don Thousand activated Numerronius's ability destroying all the monsters on Yuma and Shark's side of the field, meaning that Shark's chaos barian number was destroyed and Don Thousand took control of it in defense mode.
"Astral it's time, you ready?" Yuma asked Astral as he nodded. Just then both of them glowed red and blue as the merged and morphed into Zexal. He then performed a Shining Draw as he then played the spell card Re-Xyz as he used both level fours Toy Knight and Gagaga Magician in his graveyard to xyz summon Number 39: Utopia from his graveyard. Just then Don Thousand activated the special ability of Numerronius, using up one of his chaos overlay units and destroyed Utopia and replaced it with a chaos monster as he summond Utopia Ray Victory to Yuma's field.
"But why would you want to destroy Utopia and replaced it was Utopia Ray Victory?" Yuma asked.
"Because, as long as I have Numerronius, your chaos monsters are useless, meaning it can't use its special ability or attack." He said as Victory powered down.
"So what we've faced worse before!" Yuma said as he glowed a bright golden light and then morphed into Zexal II. He then played Xyz Treasure, drawing three cards since there are three xyz monsters on the field performing three shining draws. He then summoned his Zexal Server- Ouroboros Sage and activated its special ability to special summon one non-light number attribute from his graveyard and summoned Shark's barian number. Then he activated another special ability of Ouroboros Sage letting it and Victory attach itself to Silent Honor Ark, as it gained all of their attack points raising its attack points to fifty five hundred and then Yuma activated its third ability doubling the attack points of Silent Honor Ark up to eleven thousand. Then Yuma attacked Numerronius and destroyed it as Don Thousand was now down to nine hundred.
"Alright Yuma!" The three of us cheered.
But as the smoke cleared Don Thousand's ace was still on the field as he activated another one of its special abilities sending one xyz monster he controlled to the graveyard to prevent it from being destroyed. Then Numerronius activated its special ability again destroying all monsters on the field and summoning them on to his side of the field including Utopia. Then Yuma de-morphed back into his regular form.
"Aw man, even Yuma's Zexal couldn't beat him." I said.
"Now do you see its impossible for you to destroy me?" Don Thousand asked. "If you can't take my word for it ask Astral." He said.
"What do you mean?" Astral asked.
"When we battled eons ago, you thought you won but you more hurt then me. As your memories were scatted into pieces throughout Earth along with the Numeron code, so was my power scattered and locked away into the seven legendary numbers. But I remained patient, and fell into the right hands."
"Then you used them as your own pawns." Yuma concluded.
"Correct Yuma." Don Thousand said. "So I manipulated all those who whiled the legendary numbers. Including your friend Dumon and your precious sister Marin, Nash." Don Thousand said. "And as I said before." He said as he then faced me. "I was planning on using the one who interfered in Vector's conquest as my new body, but the ancient underwater race stopped those plans.
"Then that means you're responsible for Marin sacrificing herself to Abyss in the past!" I said as Don Thousand laughed.
"Perceptive human, very perceptive." He said as he then turned to Shark. "And you Nash, you were most instrumental into resurrecting my power." He said as his eyes glowed.
"That's enough Don Thousand!" Yuma shouted as we looked at him. "No one wants to hear you babble. All you want to do is make us doubt ourselves, but it's not going to work. Humans may have brought your back, but this human is getting rid of you for good." He said as he placed four cards face down and ended his turn. As Don Thousand activated his spell card Numeron Storm, since he controlled Numerronius he destroyed all of the set cards on the field.
"Is there no way they can win?" Tor asked.
"We just have to believe Tori." I responded to her. Just then Numerronius was beginning to attack Yuma and Shark directly.
"Yuma!" Tori cried out.
"Shark!" I cried out as well.
"Yuma, you can't give up now." A familiar voice said as then a bright light appeared between both Shark and Yuma as it was Kite. "I left you something Yuma, use it." He said as he then disappeared and then summoned Number 100: Numeron Dragon in defense mode since they had no cards on their side of the field. But then Don attacked the dragon with his monster until Yuma activated Numeron Dragon's special ability, to reduce Numerronius's attack points to zero.
"Wait but that mean Nummerronius's other ability will activate!" Stephanie cried out as Don Thousand activated his monster's other ability as Numeron Dragon was destroyed.
"Yuma now!" Astral cried out as Yuma activated his dragon's special ability, destroying all monsters on the field, including the monsters Don Thousand took control of including Numerronius.
"Alright!" The three of us cheered. What's more was that all the set cards that were destroyed on that turn were back.
"You think by destroying Numerronius means that you are that closer to victory?" Don Thousand asked. "It means nothing, it means the complete opposite." He said as we were all confused. He then activated his monster's ability, by using it to xyz summon Chaos Imaginary 1000: Numerronius Numerronia as a larger more scarier monster appeared. And what was more scary, it had one hundred thousand attack points.
"Though Numerronia cannot attack, you must attack it as long as it remains on the field." The deity explained. "Should you not choose to attack, then at the end of your turn, you instantly loose." He said as we all gasp.
"No way!" Tori cried out. "Is there anything you guys can do?" She asked as I was thinking the same thing.
"Only now do you realize that there is nothing you can do." Don Thousand said. "You are nothing!" He then let out a laugh.
"That's where you're wrong." Yuma said as we all looked at him. "We will never lose hope! So for everyone I've ever known, I'll fight to the very end."
"I'm right there with you Yuma!" Shark said as I smiled.
"Shark…" I said having a feeling that the real him was coming back.
"I am with you as well." Astral voiced.
"We are too Yuma!" I shouted as I looked down at Rio's ring. "All of us are, right Rio?" I asked as I looked in the reflection of the ring, I thought I could see Rio's smiling face as she nodded. I nodded back at the ring and looked back up at Yuma. Just then a glow came out of both him and Astral as they both combined again as they turned into a new Zexal form. "Is that a new Zexal?" I asked.
"Yeah!" Tori answered. "It's a new form called Zexal III." She said as I looked back at the field.
"Well, whatever it's called, let's hope Yuma can use it to beat this barian creep." Stephanie said. Yuma then activated his face down trap, Session Draw allowing him to draw on the next draw phase, and if they were monsters of the same level, they could use them to xyz summon. Don Thousand then ended his turn as it was Shark's turn as he performed a chaos draw while Yuma performed a destiny shining draw. Yuma drew Zexal Weapon-Tornado Bringer while Shark drew Panther Shark. They were both level five and were used to xyz summon Shark's legendary number Abyss Splash. Then Yuma activated his other trap card, Utopia Rising to special summon his Utopia and equipped it to the number while Shark activated another of Yuma's traps Bonds of Hope, letting him summon another xyz monster from the graveyard, and summoned back Number 100: Numeron Dragon. Then he activated Bonds of Hope special ability, attaching it and the other overlay units to Utopia as it now had three overlay units. Then Yuma activated the other effect of Utopia Rising, to use the special abilities of both Numeron Dragon and Abyss Splash.
"That's amazing!" Tori said in awe. "It like Yuma, Shark and Kite are all fighting as one." At that moment Kite's spirit had reappeared as I realized it too.
"Yeah," I nodded. "Just like when the three of them dueled Dr. Faker." I said remembering when the three dueled after the World Duel Carnival.
"Now Don Thousand, we will fight together as a team." Yuma said. "We will take you down once and for all." He said as the trio was ready to finish of Don Thousand once and for all. With Kite's help, Yuma had the strength to use an overlay unit to let Utopia use Numeron Dragon's special ability, allowing Utopia to increase its attack points by the combine number of ranks on the field which was twenty three by one thousand as Utopia raised its attack power to a total of twenty five thousand five hundred attack points.
"That's great, but they still don't have enough to take down Don Thousand's monster." Stephanie said.
"Hold on sis." I said. "They still haven't unlocked Abyss Splash's power." I said. And both Yuma and Shark did by activating Abyss Splash's special ability using two overlay units to double Utopia's attack points twice as it was now at one hundred two thousand attack points.
"Now their monster is stronger than Don Thousand." Tori said with hope in her voice. Then Yuma attacked with Utopia. But then Don Thousand activated Numerronia's special ability, using its only chaos overlay unit to stop the attack and its life points raised to the same as Utopia's attack points as now it had one hundred two thousand nine hundred life points. "I didn't know life points can go up that high." Tori said. Then Yuma played his ace spell card, Double or Nothing to double Utopia's attack points one more time up to two thousand four hundred and attack again.
"Go Yuma!" Tori cried.
"Take him down Shark!" I cried out.
"Go Kite!" Stephanie cried out.
And then in one swift attack Don Thousand's number was destroyed and his life points fell sharply to zero.
"Alright! They did it!" Me and the girls shouted. At last, it's all over.
Normal POV
Inside the temple of the mermails, Aqua stood in her chambers looking up.
"No, it's not over." She said. "One more battle is about to come. And I hope you are ready my friend."
Next time on Barian Wars Battle of the Barians…
And I heard, as it were, the noise of thunder:
One of the four beasts saying: "Come and see." And I saw.
And behold, a white horse.
At the beginning there were two brothers of the ocean. One of regal, and one of mystic. Two brothers separated, by chaos and light. Then reunited by fate. Now will have to battle for our world. But who will be triumphant?
And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beats,
And I looked and behold: a pale horse.
And his name, that sat on him was Death.
And Hell followed with him.
Next time on Battle of the Barians: Duel of Brothers.
