Numbershot 94: Shockin' Rockin'!
Chapter 4
Kotori LP:4000
Zina LP:4000
"Watashi no turn! Draw!" Kotori drew her card. "Magic Card, Angel Baton, activate! By discarding 1 card, I can draw 2 more!" He dumped her card and drew. "Now I activate the effect of the card I drew! Quick Draw Hawk, Tokushu Shoukan!" A black blur flitted back and forth on the field, before it stopped to show a black-feathered bird with its wings colored brown and designed to look like card backs. Its feathers were streamlined, and it appeared to be wearing running shoes.
Quick Draw Hawk: Lv.5 WIND Winged Beast ATK:2300/DEF:1200
"I can Special Summon Quick Draw Hawk from my hand if I draw it outside of my Draw Phase. Unfortunately, it keeps me from Normal Summoning this turn. I place one card facedown. Turn end!"
"Watashi no turn. Draw!" Zina drew her card, a spark coming off of her. "Bolt Buster, Shoukan!" From a flurry of electricity, a young humanoid boy emerged. His hair was frizzy, and he held a lightning bolt in each hand and two in his mouth.
Bolt Buster: Lv.4 LIGHT Thunder ATK:1500/DEF:1200
"Bolt Buster no kouka hatsudo (Bolt Buster's effect activates)! When Bolt Buster is Normal Summoned, he can stun one monster into Defense Mode!" Bolt Buster threw the lightning bolts in his hands, electrifying the bird and forcing it to kneel down. "And you can't change its position until the end of your next turn! Bolt Buster, attack Quick Draw Hawk now!" The humanoid rushed forward, electricity dancing from his fingertips.
"Trap Card, Wing Armor, activate!" Quick Draw Hawk covered itself with its wings, which hardened into steel. "This prevents the destruction of a Winged Beast-Type monster by battle, then equips to it to let it keep the protection!" Bolt Buster jammed his finger into the wings, but the lightning was merely deflected in all directions.
"Hmph. Not bad. I place two cards facedown! Turn end!"
"Watashi no turn… Draw!" Kotori drew her card. "Aha! Mirrorwing Falcon, Shoukan!" Her monster was a medium-sized bird with reflective wings.
Mirrorwing Falcon: Lv.1 LIGHT Winged Beast ATK:100/DEF:100
"Mirrorwing Falcon no kouka hatsudo! When it's Summoned, I can choose one Winged Beast-Type monster I control! Then Mirrorwing's Level equal to that monster's Level!" The falcon turned toward Quick Draw Hawk and crossed its wings, reflecting the undead bird's appearance.
Mirrorwing Falcon: Lv.5
"Watashi wa Reberu Go no Mirrorwing Falcon to Quick Draw Hawk, Obarei (I Overlay Level 5 Mirrorwing Falcon and Zombie Vulture)!" Her monsters turned fully yellow and green before spiraling into the air. A red spiral portal opened up, and both monsters sailed inside. "Ni tai no monsuta de, Obarei Netwaaku kochiku! Ekushiizu Shoukan!" The ground rumbled and shattered. "Arawareyo… Zombie Vulture!" From the ground, a brown-furred vulture emerged. Its wings were rotting, its rib cage was exposed, its legs were bony, and its head and beak were nothing but a skull, two narrow eye holes in place of the eyes. It let out a weak, distorted caw, two purple Overlay Units circling it.
Zombie Vulture: Rank 5 DARK Winged Beast (also Zombie due to effect)/Xyz ATK:2700/DEF:0 2 Overlay Units
Akari shuddered. "Creepy…"
"Zombie Vulture, attack Bolt Buster now!" The vulture cawed, then looked straight at Bolt Buster, its eye holes flashing red. All of a sudden, the ground beneath Bolt Buster broke, and zombified bird talons grabbed it, forcing it underground and destroying it.
Zina LP:2800
"Sucker! Trap Card, Karma Thunder, activate!" Zina's facedown flipped up. "Since you destroyed a Thunder-Type monster by battle, this card instantly destroys the monster that did the destroying!" Zina gathered electricity in her hands. "ZAP!" She fired the lightning at the zombie bird.
"Zombie Vulture no kouka hatsudo!" Kotori declared. "If Zombie Vulture would be destroyed while in Attack Mode, I can use Overlay Unit to negate its destruction by switching it into Defense Mode!" One of the purple orbs was absorbed into Zombie Vulture's beak, then it weakly cawed before falling over. Its wings hit the ground, which conducted the lightning into the ground, negating it.
Zombie Vulture: 1 Overlay Unit
"Hmph. Not bad." Zina mused.
'This isn't going to be easy.' Kotori thought. "Magic Card, Jeweled Nest, activate! This card lets me Special Summon three Jewel Egg Tokens in Defense Mode!" A silver nest appeared holding three eggs: One made of green jewel, one of orange jewel, and one of purple jewel.
Jewel Egg Token x3: Lv.1 EARTH Rock ATK:0/DEF:0
"Eh? Eggs?" Zina wondered.
"You'll see later. I place one card facedown! Turn end!" Kotori finished.
"Watashi no turn! Draw!" She drew her card. "Magic Card, Miracle Soil, activate! This lets me Special Summon one Level 4 or below Plant-Type monster from my Deck!"
"What? Plant-Types?" Tetsuo was confused.
"Zina's always used Plant-Types. This lightning power must've fused it with Thunder-Types." Raio explained.
"Venus Card Trap, Tokushu Shoukan!" Her monster emerged as a green plant that seemed harmless, but the leaves suddenly opened to reveal a sharp-fanged mouth that hissed, bearing a rectangular brown tongue.
Venus Card Trap: Lv.3 EARTH Plant ATK:1300/DEF:1100
"Venus Card Trap no kouka hatsudo! By sending the top three cards from my Deck to the Graveyard, I can increase its Level by 3!" She milled her cards.
Venus Card Trap: Lv.6
"Now, Amp Lancer, Tokushu Shoukan!" Her new monster was a small humanoid knight with a thunderbolt-shaped spear.
Amp Lancer: Lv.4 LIGHT Thunder ATK:1800/DEF:1700
"When Amp Lancer attacks a monster in Defense Mode, it deals Piercing Damage! Amp Lancer, attack Zombie Vulture!" The knight lowered its lance and charged forward, piercing the zombie and electrocuting it. It cawed weakly before exploding. "Now try this on for size!" Zina charged up before firing a bolt of electricity.
"Waah!" Kotori shrieked, quickly jumping away before the bolt fried her.
Kotori LP:2200
"Hey, what's the big idea?" Akari yelled.
Zina merely shrugged. "Don't ask me! I'm not the one writing this fic! Amp Lancer no kouka hatsudo! If Amp Lancer successfully inflicts Battle Damage, it switches into Defense Mode to protect me from any possible harm." The tiny knight knelt down and began sparking. "Also, Venus Card Trap can't attack this turn since it was Summoned by Miracle Soil. Turn end!"
"Watashi no turn! Draw!" Kotori drew her card. "Good thing my Jewel Egg Tokens survived. Thanks to the effect of Jeweled Nest, I can release them all the Summon my trio of gem-feathered friends!" The three eggs rose into the air, the silver nest vanishing. All three eggs crackled before shattering, the shells reforming into three new figures. "Arawareyo… Peridot Robin, Amber Robin, and Amethyst Robin!" The figures formed into her three jewel-headed birds.
Peridot Robin: Lv.4 LIGHT Winged Beast ATK:1600/DEF:700
Amber Robin: Lv.4 LIGHT Winged Beast ATK:1600/DEF:700
Amethyst Robin: Lv.4 LIGHT Winged Beast ATK:1600/DEF:700
"All right! Since I control my three Robins, I can Special Summon another friend from my Deck! Arawareyo… Onyx Robin!" Another bird that was just like them appeared, but it was gray-colored with a black jewel for a head.
Onyx Robin: Lv.4 LIGHT Winged Beast ATK:1600/DEF:700
"Watashi was Reberu Yon no Peridot Robin to Amber Robin, Obarei! Reberu Yon no Amethyst Robin to Onyx Robin, Obarei!" The four birds turned fully yellow before spiraling into the air in duos. Two separate galaxy portals opened as both pairs of monsters sailed inside. "Yon tai no monsuta de, nikai (twice) Obarei Netwaaku kochiku! Dabaru Ekushiizu Shoukan!" Two bursts of light occurred. "Arawareyo, Nanbazu Sanjuukyuu: Kibou Ou Hope (Come forth, Number 39: Aspiring Emperor Hope)! Nanbazu Juusan: Suki Joou Love (Number 13: Devoted Empress Love)!"
The numbers "39" and "13" formed and flashed in red and blue, then both monsters' sealed forms arose. The two objects shifted and changed until the warrior and mage's bodies were fully formed. They crossed their sword and staff before taking a team stance, their Overlay Units circling them.
Number 39: Aspiring Emperor Hope: Rank 4 LIGHT Warrior/Xyz ATK:2500/DEF:2000
Number 13: Devoted Empress Love: Rank 4 LIGHT Spellcaster/Xyz ATK:2400/DEF:1600
"Gah! Numbers?" Zina cried.
"Love, attack Amp Lancer now! Love Staff Blast!" The mage twirled her staff before firing an amethyst-colored beam that obliterated the knight. "All right, Hope! Attack Venus Card Trap! Hope Blade Slash!" The warrior slashed across the plant, turning it into coleslaw.
"Gegh!" Zina groaned.
Zina LP:1600
"Yatta! Awesome!" Kotori chirped. "I place one card facedown! Turn end!"
Zina hissed, sparks coming off of her teeth. "Watashi no turn… Draw!" She drew her card. "Trap Card, Re-Growth, activate! This lets me Special Summon 1 Plant-Type monster from my Graveyard! Return, Venus Card Trap!" The fly-trap re-emerged from the ground. "Venus Card Trap no kouka hatsudo! By sending three cards from my Deck to the Graveyard, its Level increases by 3!"
Venus Card Trap: Lv.6
"Thunderose no kouka hatsudo! By banishing one Plant-Type and one Thunder-Type monster from my Graveyard, I can Special Summon it!" She removed Bolt Buster and Rainbow Seed from her Graveyard. A new monster emerged as an odd bulb, which bloomed into a crackling yellow rose.
Thunderose: Lv.6 LIGHT Plant ATK:2100/DEF:2000
"Two… Level 6… monsters!" Yuma sputtered.
"Watashi wa Reberu Roku no Venus Card Trap to Thunderose, Obarei!" Her monsters turned fully orange and yellow before shooting into the air, trails of lightning behind them. A galaxy portal opened up, also crackling with electricity, and both monsters sailed inside. "Ni tai no monsuta de, Obarei Netwaaku kochiku!"
"Here it comes, Kotori!" Astral warned.
"Ekushiizu Shoukan!" A burst of light occurred. "Arawareyo… Nanbaazu Kyuujuuyon (Number 94)! Zap Pitcher!"
The number "94" formed and flashed in electric blue, and from the sky, a large object plummeted to the ground, landing and crushing the ground and loosing electricity. It was a large brown seed decorated with blue and green. Stormclouds gathered from up above and boomed thunder and crackled lightning, and a torrent of rain suddenly poured down onto the seed. The seed sprouted, releasing many yellow vines in a flurry of lightning. The vines combined and solidified into an odd, electric-blue-trimmed cylindrical plant: A pitcher plant. More vines extended and sprouted jagged electric blue leaves, and a vine extended from the back, connecting to the stormclouds. The top leaf of the plant opened up, revealing the electric blue "94". A boom of thunder came from the clouds, and the torrent of rain filled up the pitcher plant almost to overflow, the water crackling with electricity. The top leaf snapped shut like a fly-trap, two yellow Overlay Units circling the plant.
Number 94: Zap Pitcher: Rank 6 LIGHT Plant/Xyz ATK:2600/DEF:1200 2 Overlay Units
"Not good…!" Yuma sputtered.
"A lightning plant? Really?" Raio said, skeptical. "Are all Numbers this kooky?"
"You'd be surprised." Tetsuo told him.
"Ah hah hah hah hah hah! Not even those Numbers of yours can save you! Zap Pitcher no kouka hatsudo!" One of the yellow orbs was absorbed into the top leaf, which opened again, then the plant convulsed and fired a glob of electrified water. The water splashed over Hope, shocking him and forcing him to the ground.
Zap Pitcher: 1 Overlay Unit
"What just happened?" Kotori cried.
"Zap Pitcher warned me about Kibou Ou Hope. It can negate my attacks. But Zap Pitcher takes care of that. By using an Overlay Unit, one of your monsters is shocked out of attacking next turn! What's more, its effects are negated until my next Standby Phase!"
"Nani?"
"Yes, that's it, my little Sparky." A man said, who was watching. "Show those fools the electrifying power of the Numbers!"
"Zap Pitcher, attack Kibou Ou Hope now!" The thunderclouds above Zap Pitcher began booming, then lightning suddenly fired out of them. Hope grunted in fear.
"K-Ko… tori!" Yuma cried.
