Chapter 19

My goodness, this chapter was late! I apologize for the delay because my brother graduated from boot camp yesterday, so we had to fly for Chicago on Thursday, but I'm back!

-Italicized cards are official Yugioh cards; Bolded are mine.


Yuma gazed at the gigantic Number monster Kurai summoned last turn: Number 2: BioDragon.

Number 2: BioDragon
ATK: 1000; DEF: 2000

The cyborg dragon breathed heavily as oxygen ran from its tank to its mouth. Pipes connected into the dragon's mouth delivering oxygen. The tail was like a spiked club, and it's eyes resembled robotic optics.

"GRROOOGHH…." it growled.

"Numbers….. How? What?" stuttered Yuma.

Kurai snickered as he glanced towards his opposite. "Are you that stupid? I 'borrowed' this Number from Heartland Mueseum! Those suckers will think its YOU who stole the card, while I can get off while you take my place in jail. There is NO way I'm ever going to that place!"

Yuma gasped, not sure whatever to believe Kurai or not.

"YOU did what? What the hell were you thinking? No one will believe me that YOU are the troublemaker!"

"Now you're getting it! I'm better that you, and Kotori is mine, you twit, since she is under my control- I mean, she came to me by free will," snapped Kurai.

Yuma quickly looked at a mind controlled Kotori inside her force field. She stood like a statue, eyes emotionless, and her expression was very stoic.

"You monster!" he snarled, "what kind of person are you, forcing girls to marry you?"

Kurai waved his hands, yawning. "I don't care about you! Can we just get back to the duel already? You're boring me with your blabber!"

"Fine," groaned Yuma. He glared straight at Kurai's face. "Don't think I'm letting you off that easy."

"Whatever, its still my turn!" sneered Kurai. He looked at his monster's card and read every detail carefully. Once he was ready, he looked at Yuma in a way that made him feel slightly uncomfortable. " I will activate BioDragon's effect! Once per turn, I can steal EVERY attack point from ALL of your monsters on the field! There is a setback, this effect only works if you have monsters with 2000 or more attack points!"

Yuma was taken back by Kurai's statement. He stared at him wide-eyed. "WHAT? You're bluffing!"

"I don't bluff, you're idiotic enough to attack me right away! Face it, Yuma, you can't defeat me and my Number! BioDragon, have all of Neo the Magic Swordsman's attack points!" commanded Kurai.

The tank on BioDragon's back activated when the Number roared. Purple liquids flowed into the neck pipes and flowed into the beast's body. An Overlay Unit disposed of itself as it flew to the Graveyard. Then, BioDragon opened his mouth, spewing a yellow plasma orb straight at Neo the Magic Swordsman.

"This can't be happening!" cried Yuma.

"Oh, it has just begun, Yuma! This nightmare isn't over just yet!" said Kurai.

BioDragon's orb hit Neo directly and it drained every Attack Point of the magician. After Neo's attack points were completely drained, the Spellcaster monster disintegrated into yellow pixels. His attack points went directly to BioDragon, increasing his own. All of Neo the Magic Swordsman's attack points increased the dragon's own attack points by 2220.

Neo the Magic Swordsman
ATK: 0; DEF:

BioDragon
ATK: 3220; DEF: 2000

"3220 attack?" exclaimed Yuma, taken back by Kurai's sudden move.

"That's right, Yuma! But, there's more to BioDragon's effect! Since Gogogo Giant was YOUR monster, his attack points are stolen too!" added Kurai. "BioDragon, take Gogogo Giant's attack points!"

Gogogo Giant
ATK: 2000; DEF: 0

Another Overlay unit of BioDragon's dispersed into the Graveyard as he fired another yellow orb at Gogogo Giant. The towering stone monster crumbled onto the field and was destroyed as each attack point was drained into BioDragon.

"Thanks to Gogogo Giant's 'present,' my monster gains 2000 additional attack points! Now, BioDragon will attack Neo the Magic Swordsman!"

BioDragon
ATK: 5220; DEF: 2000

Number 2 spun his body around in a rapid motion like a spinning top. His tail swung so fast, not even the naked eye could see it. Neo the Magic Swordsman didn't noticed that the the Number's tail slammed into him.

"Why, BioDragon? We're all monsters…." he said telepathically.

"I'm sorry, but I must do what my master says," responded BioDragon solemnly, "good bye, comrade."

"I set one card facedown and end my turn," finished Kurai.

YUMA: 900
KURAI: 2500

Yuma glared at Kurai after his opponent's monster consumed more of his own monster's attack points. He began to feel helpless because his monsters had gotten beaten to a pulp just by getting all of their attack points stolen. If Kurai keeps stealing every single one of my monsters' attack points, I am so screwed! What am I supposed to do? I don't have a Trap or a Spell Card to counter BioDragon's effect! It's no use…. Kurai is too powerful…. I can't stop him….

Yuma dropped his knees to the ground and stared at it. His body shook as tears threatened to fall from his face. "Astral…. Kotori…. Shark… Tetsuo…. Anna… Takashi… Tokunosuke… I failed to save you…..
It's all my fault…"

On the other side of the field, Kurai smiled smugly, mocking his opponent, "Have you finally given up now? What an idiot, giving up to me just because you're scared of my Number! It's no use, Yuma, your blue friend ran away because he's a big chicken! He can't help you now!"

"SHUT UP!" screeched Yuma. Tears streamed down his face in anguish. He pounded his fist in distress into the ground, leaving a dent on the steel roof.

"Stand up, Yuma. We will win."

Yuma looked up to find an all familiar shadow looming above him. Slowly, he tilted his head upward to find….

"ASTRAL!"
