Me: Yo! Before we start, there's four things!
Astral: Number one. This splits from the original canon, so this takes place instead of Yugioh Zexal II. As a result, Yuma and his friends still don't know about people like Rei Shingetsu and Gilag and the Barian Force card.
Me: Number two, cause it's really getting confusing for me, I'm gonna call it Xyz monsters from now on. I'm still calling them overlay units though. And I'm still using the Japanese names of the Numbers. Cause it's supposed to be pronounced ik-seez in the Japanese version which can be either Exceed or Xyz and most of the new cards have Xyz so, yeah. I'm kinda confusing myself now.
Astral: Number three, we still don't own Yugioh Zexal or Yugioh Zexal II.
Me: Number four! It's a 5 chapter anniversary! We're gonna celebrate with cake and cookies and singing at the end! For now, enjoy!
Chapter 5: More People = More Head Injuries
"DUEL!"
"I'll go first!" Yuma said. "Draw! I summon Gagaga Magician in defense mode and set two cards facedown. That ends my turn."
On the field, the magician wearing black and red with chains around him rose up, with two face down cards behind him.
"Oh my god." Sarah stared at Gagaga Magician on the field. "It's right in front of me. That. Is. AWESOME!"
"Huh?" Yuma looked over at Sarah, who was staring at Gagaga Magician in awe.
"It's so cool!" She yelled. "It's an actual Gagaga Magician in person!"
"Is this what you would call a fangirl?" Astral asked Yuma.
"Yeah, I think so." Yuma answered.
"This is awesome! Do something else!" Sarah yelled.
"I….can't."
"Why not?!"
"Cause I just ended my turn."
"Aw come on!" Sarah moaned. "I just got to see one thing!"
Yuma stared at her.
"Uh, sorry." Sarah said, stepping away. "It's just, I love this game! This is so cool!"
"It's my turn!" The man said. "Draw! I summon Evotile Odonto." A small flame dinosaur appeared onto the field. "And now Ondonto's effect. When it's summoned, I can summon another monster from my hand. I choose Evolsaur Elias!" Another dinosaur appeared next to the first.
"And now Evolsaur Elias's effect! When it's special summoned by the effect of an Evotile monster, I can special summon another level 6 Evolsaur monster from my hand. I choose Evolsaur Terias!" A third dinosaur roared as it rose next to the other two.
"Terias loses 500 attack points because it was summoned this way, but it doesn't matter! I overlay my level 6 Evolsaur Elias and my level 6 Evolsaur Terias! I build the overlay network with these two level 6 monsters! Xyz summon!"
A dinosaur egg rose from the ground with two overlay units flashing around it. "Evolzar Solda!" The dinosaur egg began cracking as a shining dragon-like dinosaur roared and fully emerged.
"Solda can't be destroyed by card effects as long as it has overlay units. Now Solda attacks Gagaga Magician!"
"I activate my trap Impenetrable Attack!" Yuma called. "Now Gagaga Magician can't be destroyed in battle, and since he's in defense mode, I take no damage!"
"Fine. I activate the spell Evotile Power. I sacrifice every Evotile monster on my field, and you take 500 points of damage for each!" Multiple blasts shot out at Yuma and Astral, who braced themselves as they collided.
Yuma: 3500
Man: 4000
"I end my turn by setting a card facedown." The man said.
"My turn! Draw!" Yuma said. "I summon Achacha Archer!" A nimble archer backflipped onto the battlefield and shot a flaming arrow at Yuma's opponent. "Achacha Archer's effect is that when it's summoned, you take 300 points of damage!"
Yuma: 3500
Man: 3700
"Now I activate the spell Plus Star 123! I'm making Achacha Archer a level 4! I overlay my level four Gagaga Magician and my level four Achacha Archer! I build the overlay network with these two monsters! Xyz Summon!"
A familiar white and gold mechanical figure rose from the ground with two white lights flying around it. "Appear! Numbers 39!" The form unfolded apart until the warrior stood and swung his swords out. "Kibou Ou Hope!"
"The Numbers has come." The man said.
A dark figure hiding behind a tree and watching the duel smirked. "So this is the Numbers of this Yuma. Let's see what you can do."
Sarah stared at the Numbers. "THIS IS AWESOME! IT'S HOPE! IT'S ACTUALLY HOPE! THAT'S AMAZINGLY AWESOME! THAT'S SUPER SPECIAL AWESOME!"
"What?" Yuma stared at her.
"Uh, it's a reference. Don't worry about it. But still, it's Hope! That's so cool!" She yelled.
"Sure?"
"Yuma, focus on the duel." Astral said.
"Right! Now I activate the spell Blustering Winds! This gives Hope an extra 1000 until my next turn!" Yuma yelled and held out the turn as Hope charged with energy. "Hope attacks your Evolzar Solda!"
"I activate my trap, Xyz Tribal!"
"No way! That's a new trap from Cosmo Blazer!" Sarah yelled.
"Cosmo Blazer?" Yuma looked at her with a confused expression.
"The newest booster pack that's gonna come out soon in November 17 in Japan, and January 25 for the rest of the world! Xyz Tribal makes it so that any xyz monsters with 2 or more overlay units can't be destroyed in battle! And if he has an xyz monster with 2 or more overlay units that battled a monster this turn, specifically your Hope, then Hope gets destroyed!"
"What?! Hope gets destroyed?!"
"If he battled his monster he does!"
"I remove one overlay unit from Hope to negate the battle!" Yuma yelled quickly.
"Yuma. The trap." Astra reminded.
"And I also activate my trap, Counterforce! You take the damage equal to the difference between Hope and Solda!" The trap card shot out a burst of energy at the man.
Yuma: 3500
Man: 2800
"Then I end my turn with two cards facedown!" Yuma said. "How do you know all these cards?" He asked.
"Well, I…. have a lot of free time. I spend it finding out stuff." Sarah said.
"It's my turn. Draw!" The man said.
"Let's see how this works." The person hiding behind the tree said.
"I activate the Rank-Up Magic, Barian's Force!" The man yelled as a strange crest appeared on his forehead.
"Barian?!"
"What is that card?" Astral wondered.
"Sarah! Do you know the card?" Yuma looked at Sarah, who was standing with her mouth open at the card.
"I don't know this card!" She yelled. "I don't know this card! I know all cards but I don't know this one! How is that possible?!" She unzipped her backpack and took out a laptop, flipped it open, and began typing on it furiously. "Nothing, nothing, nothing! Why is there no information about this card!"
"This is bad." Yuma scowled. "It doesn't seem normal. Barian's Force?"
"This card Ranks up my Exceed Monster and special summons a Chaos Exceed!" The man yelled as his dinosaur turned into a light and flew up into the sky. "I rebuild the overlay network with Evolzar Solda! Chaos Exceed Change!"
"What?!"
"He's able to do a Chaos Exceed Change?" Astral said.
"And it's not even a Numbers!" Sarah said.
"Appear now! Chaos Xyz: Super Evolzar Solda!" The same shining dinosaur from before descended onto the field, but it was bigger and its wings were more advanced. It roared, the sound echoing throughout the entire area. Three red glowing diamonds floated next to it. The sign next to it showed 3000 attack points.
"No way." Yuma stared at the monster.
"This is the power of Barian." The man said. "And now you're going to realize its power. I activate the effect of Barian's Force! When a Chaos Xyz was special summoned with Barian's Force, it can absorb all of the overlay units from an Xyz monster of my opponent's!" The three diamonds shot out energy at Hope, draining his energy as it took the light around him and turned it into an overlay unit for the man. "Chaos Drain!"
"He took Hope's overlay units?!" Astral exclaimed.
"So now I can't use Hope's effect!" Yuma said.
"And I'm not done! The monster who got its overlay units taken away loses 300 attack points for each overlay units!" Hope's power decreased down to 2200. "There's nothing you can do to stop Barian's Force!"
"No way!"
"Super Evolzar Solda can't be destroyed by card effects as long as it has overlay units. Solda's effect! By removing one overlay unit, all of my opponent's monster that were special summoned are removed from the field for this turn, and you take 1000 points of damage for each one!" One chaos overlay unit shone and was absorbed by the dinosaur, who roared out red energy at Yuma's Numbers. It disappeared in red light, leaving Yuma's field empty.
Yuma: 2500
Man: 2800
"Hope!"
"Now he's completely open! And Super Solda has exactly 3000 attack points! Don't let it hit you!" Sarah yelled.
"Super Evolzar Solda direct attacks you!" The dragon/dinosaur charged up the blast in its mouth and shot it at Yuma.
"I activate my trap! Damage Diet!" Yuma yelled. "Now the damage to me is halved!" He was thrown backwards from the blast, but still survived.
Yuma: 1000
Man: 2800
"And I activate my other trap Damage Repayment!" The second card on Yuma's field opened and a yellow beam shot out. "When I take battle damage that's over 1000, you also take it!"
Yuma: 1000
Man: 1300
"I end my turn with a facedown." The man said. "Now your Numbers comes back, but it doesn't matter. There's nothing you can do against the Barian World!"
"Barian World?!" Yuma yelled. "That Barian World?!"
"That would explain why the card is named Barian's Force." Astral said. "The Barian World is behind this."
"But still… how do I defeat that." Yuma looked at the Chaos Exceed on the man's field. "It can't be destroyed in battle or by card effects, and Hope doesn't have enough attack points!"
"Maybe not for now…. Yuma." Astral turned to Yuma. "There's only one way to match up a Chaos Xyz."
Yuma looked at him, then his eyes widened as he realized the plan. "Yeah!"
"It's my turn! Draw!" He yelled. "Kattobingu da, ore!"
"Hope, Chaos Xyz Change!" Yuma's Numbers began reverting back to its original sealed form, which disappeared into the ground. "The messenger that changes chaos into hope! Appear now!" A black and gold, more sleeker and more powerful version rose up, which began forming itself open until a stronger version of Hope appeared, with one overlay unit rotating around it. "Chaos Numbers 39! Kibou Ou Hope Ray!"
"Hope Ray! It's a Chaos Numbers!" Sarah cheered. "It's an actual Chaos Numbers in person!"
"A Chaos Numbers?" The man scowled. "But there's still nothing you can do!"
"We'll see. I activate Hope Ray's effect! By removing one overlay unit, Hope Ray gains 500 attack points, while your Solda loses 1000!"
"What?!"
The Chaos Numbers' attack points rose to 3000, while the dinosaur's shrank down to 2000.
"Kibou Ou Hope Ray! Attack Super Evolzar Solda! Hope King Chaos Slash!" The black and gold Hope slashed the dinosaur in half, blinding the entire field with smoke and wind from the explosion of the monster being destroyed.
Yuma: 1000
Man: 300
As the smoke cleared, Yuma was smiling. "And I'm not done yet! From my hand, I activate the spell Extra Blast! When my monster destroys one of yours, you take 500 points of damage!" The spell glowed as it appeared onto the field and shot a fireball at the man, who yelled and was blasted back.
Yuma: 1000
Man: 0
"Yuma won!" Sarah yelled. "He won he won he won!"
The crest on the man's head disappeared as the AR around them dissolved.
"Oh well." The person behind the tree watching said. "Note to self. Next time choose someone who can actually duel. This world is strange." Then it disappeared.
A little boy ran up to the man. "Daddy! Aren't we going home now?!" The little boy tugged at the man's sleeve.
"Right. Uh, what was I doing here?" The man looked around and focused on Yuma. "Do you know what I was doing?"
"What?! You were just dueling me and you had this Barian card and—"
"Dad! Why do you have my deck!" The little boy took the cards from his dad's hands. "And why do you have my d-gazer and d-pad?!"
"Wait, can I see that for a moment?" Sarah ran over and grabbed the two items from the boys hand and looked them over. "These are just toys!"
"Yeah! There my toys!" The boy took his toys back. "Meanie old lady."
"O-Old lady?! I'm thirteen!"
"That's old." The boy muttered.
"Why you little—"
"Come on daddy!" The boy tugged his dad away, and they were gone before Sarah could finish her sentence.
Sarah stared after them. Then she looked at at Yuma, who was looking at a card.
"I found this!" Yuma showed the card. It was Barian's Force.
"What?! Lemme see!" Sarah grabbed the card and stared at this. "Seriously, I'm not understanding anything anymore really. First you two show up, then a card I don't know shows up! What's next?!"
"I dunno," Yuma's stomach rumbled, "but after a duel like that, I'm hungry! Let's go to your home and get some food now!"
Sarah stared at him. Her stomach growled too.
"Uh….. sure."
Astral sighed as the two ran home.
-somerunningandsnackslater-
"So, is there any information about this card?" Yuma sat on the ground of Sarah's room while eating a bag of chips.
"I still can't find anything!" Ssrah was sitting on her bed typing on her laptop angrily. "This makes no sense! Plus how did the d-gazers and d-pads work?! And for some reason all of the information about you two have been erased!"
"It is most likely that when we came to this world, all information has been covered up by whoever brought us here to protect our identities." Astral hovered over her and looked at the computer screen.
"Yeah but it still doesn't make any sense!" She kept typing and going to different websites. "How did this happen!"
"Well, at least we have something to help us now." Yuma held up the Barian's Force card. "Maybe there's some hint to get back from this card."
Suddenly, the card glowed red and floated into the center of the room. "Wow! What's happening?!" Yuma jumped back.
"It's a portal." Astral said while looking at the card, which had opened up the red portal.
"So, just like that, you're going home?" Sarah asked.
"Let's try it out!" Yuma dived into the portal, but seemed to collide into something solid and fall back out. "Oww!"
"What happened?!" Sarah jumped up from the bed.
"I can't get through for some reason!"
"It seems this portal is one way." Astral said.
"So, something's trying to get here?" Yuma asked.
"That's most likely. But, what exactly are they?"
"Do you think they're from Barian too?!"
"That is likely."
Then a figure appeared from the portal and landed on the ground. He had dark blue eyes, dark purple hair, a purple jacket and blue jeans.
"S-Shark!" Yuma yelled.
Then a girl fell from the portal next. Her green hair was tied up into a bun on one side with a red ribbon, while the other side was free. She had brown eyes and was wearing a white and yellow t-shirt and a pink skirt. "Yuma!" She yelled happily.
"Kotori?!" Yuma stared.
Then finally, a teen in a large black trench coat with white pants with a hairstyle where his blond hair spiked up in a point at the back jumped out with a white robot behind him. "Orbital! Is this the right place?"
"Confirmed Kaito-sama!" The robot saluted.
"And Kaito too?!" Yuma shouted.
"Yuma. So this is where you ended up?" Kaito said, then looked at Sarah, who was staring at everything in shock. "Who are you?"
"U-U-U-Uh…" She managed to say before running out of the room. There was a banging sound on the walls, like someone was hitting something against them.
"WHAT THE HECK IS HAPPENING?!" The four of them heard her screamed.
Me: And there's the chapter! Look who came to join the party! Kaito, Ryoga and Kotori! So now have karaoke to celebrate!

Me: And I had to use some original cards, so these are the ones I created:
Evotile Power
Quick play Spell
Tribute every monster on the field with Evotile in its name. Your opponent takes 500 points of damage for each monster.
Chaos Xyz: Super Evolzar Solda
Rank 6 / Fire / Dragon
Atk: 3000 / Def: 2000
3 Level 6 Monsters
This card cannot be destroyed by card effects while it has Overlay Unit.
If this card is Xyz Summoned by Ranking Up "Evolzar Solda", it gains the following effect.
● Once per turn: You can detach 1 Overlay Unit from this card; all of the monsters on your opponent's field that were special summoned are removed from play, and your opponent takes 1000 points of damage for each. At the end of your turn, the monsters that were removed from play by this effect comes back onto the field.
Damage Repayment
Normal Trap
When you take battle damage this turn that is over 1000, your opponent takes it as well.
Me: Um, this is my first try listing out the original cards. If I have any mistakes, please help me out! Anyway, this is still a party! Review the chapter and you get a slice of every-flavour cake!
Astral: Every-flavour cake?
Me: It's a cake that has every flavour that you'd ever want in it!
Astral: . . . Sure.
Me: Yup! So, enjoy! Review! The updates will probably slow down some, cause school's picking up, but until then, see you again! Bye!
