Numbershot 94: Shockin' Rockin'!
Chapter 5
The plant's lightning barreled toward the stunned warrior. "Say goodnight, Hope!" Zina jeered.
Kotori's eyes flashed. "Trap Card, activate! Love Shield Spell!" Love moved in front of Hope and absorbed one of his Overlay Units into her staff.
Hope: 1 Overlay Unit
"N-Nanda? (W-What the?)" Zina gasped.
"Love Shield Spell is a card only usable with Love herself. As long as it remains face-up, she can use Hope's effect herself, using an Overlay Unit from any of my monsters to negate any attack!" Twirling her staff, Love slammed it into the ground, creating an amethyst-colored force field around Kotori's field. The lightning impacted the shield and was deflected, but Love struggled slightly. Love dispelled the shield, winked at Hope, then moved back to her space.
"You're really starting to bug me, you know that?" Zina hissed, lightning crackling off of her. "Just keel over and let me fry you! I place one card facedown! Turn end!"
"Watashi no turn! Draw!" Kotori drew her card. 'All right, this'll work!' "Magic Card, Shining Feathers, activate!" A flurry of glowing white feathers surrounded Love. "This gives Love 600 extra Attack Points until the End Phase!"
Love ATK:3000
"All right, Love! Attack Zap Pitcher now!" Love twirled her staff to build energy. "Love Staff Blast!" The amethyst-colored beam was fired out, piercing right through the plant and destroying it. Zina recoiled from the impact.
Zina LP:1200
However, upon the destruction of the plant, globs of the electrified water splashed everywhere. A large ball of it went right toward the mage, splashing over her and electrifying her. Grunting, she was forced to the ground. "Nanda?"
"Zap Pitcher has another effect that you should know about." Zina explained, smirking evilly. "If it's ever destroyed, I can pick one monster you control and cut both its original points in half!"
Love ATK:1800/DEF:800
"Kuso…" Kotori groaned. "All least I got rid of that Number. I place one card facedown! Turn end!"
Love ATK:1200
"Watashi no turn! Draw!" Zina drew her card, electricity coming off of it. Hope shrugged off the electricity around him, finally getting to his feet. "Trap Card, Xyz Reborn, activate! This lets me Special Summon an Xyz Monster from my Graveyard! Return to us, Zap Pitcher!" The thunder clouds reformed as the plant returned to the field. Rain poured from the clouds, filling up the pitcher to the brim before it clamped shut. "And now, Xyz Reborn goes to Zap Pitcher as an Overlay Unit!" The Trap Card changed into a yellow orb before orbiting the plant.
Number 94: Zap Pitcher: 1 Overlay Unit
"Dang! Just when we thought we were done with that thing!" Tetsuko cried.
"Please! Any nitwit with a Number would know to keep it safe!" Zina jeered. "Gemini Sparker, Shoukan!" Her new monster was a sparking red-armored human with a plus sign on his chest. "Gemini Sparker no kouka hatsudo! When he is Normal Summoned, I can Special Summon another one from my Deck!" Another sparking human emerged, but this one was female, had blue armor, and had a minus sign on her chest.
Gemini Sparker x2: Lv.4 LIGHT Thunder ATK:1500/DEF:1500
"They may not be able to destroy her, but they've got 600 points of damage with your name on them! Gemini Sparkers, attack Number 13!" The two Thunder-Types joined hands, collecting a mass of red and blue lightning, before firing it out at once. Thinking quick, Love jammed the bottom end of her staff into the ground. The lightning was conducted into the ground, but excess lightning shocked the mage, causing her to pant. "Now hold still, bird girl!" Zina fired off one bolt from her left hand, which Kotori dodged. Another bolt was fired, and Kotori dodged again, but her balance was slightly thrown off. "Gotcha!" Zina charged and fired another, larger bolt.
Kotori had no time to react… and was struck dead-on. "AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" She screamed in pain as the lightning surged through her.
Kotori LP:1600
"KOTORI!/KOTORI!" Everyone cried. The lightning dispersed, and Kotori fell to her knees, panting heavily, shaking. Her hair ribbon was burnt to pieces, letting her hair down, and parts of her outfit were singed.
"Ah hah hah hah hah hah hah!" Zina laughed with her hand by her mouth (A/N: AKA the "stuck-up anime girl" laugh). "You had no chance of beating me from the start! Once I win, your Numbers and Raio will be mine!"
Raio sweatdropped. "She's got a lightning pitcher plant and electrical powers, and she's still worried about ME? Come on, did the author have to make her this way?"
"It could've been worse. She could've ended up like one of the many worse yanderes in fanfiction." Akari said.
"Point taken." Raio replied.
Kotori struggled to get to her feet. "You haven't won yet… I'm not done! Not by a long shot!" She shouted.
Zina looked unimpressed. "Hmph." She scoffed, sparking a bit. "You must enjoy being a lightning rod. Fine! I'll beat you next turn and fry you to a crisp! Zap Pitcher no kouka hatsudo! Paralyze Hope yet again!" Another glob of electrified water splashed over Hope, keeping him down. "Zap Pitcher, attack Number 13 now!" Thunderbolts barreled down from the hovering stormclouds.
"Love Shield Spell… no kouka hatsudo!" Kotori declared. "I use one of Love's own Overlay Units to negate the attack!" Love absorbed one of her Units into her staff, then slammed the ground with her staff, creating the amethyst dome, which blocked the lightning.
Love: 1 Overlay Unit
Zina growled. "Pest! I place one card facedown! Turn end!"
"Watashi no turn… Draw!" Kotori drew her card.
Zina smirked. "Trap Card, Thunder Grid, activate!" The two Gemini Sparkers threw their hands forward, creating a grid shape made out of red and blue lightning. "You see, Thunder Grid makes it so you can only attack a Thunder-Type monster I control, but since I've got two or more Thunder-Types, guess what? You can't attack me at all!"
"Oh, man! Kotori's nearly screwed!" Tetsuo cried.
"D-Don't give up, K-Kotori…!" Yuma sputtered. "Show her… what you c-can do!"
Kotori nodded. "Don't worry, Yuma… I won't give up! In fact… I have what I need to win!"
"Nani?" Zina mused.
"Magic Card, Magic Twister, activate! This lets me blow away your Thunder Grid!" A tornado formed on the field, impacting the grid and dispersing it.
"Kuso…" Zina growled.
"And I have another Magic Card! Blustering Winds!" More wind began to swirl. "This lets me increase Love's Attack Points by 1000 until the End Phase!"
Love ATK:2200
"Now to end this! Suki Joou Love, attack Zap Pitcher now!" The mage began to twirl her staff.
"I think I must've fried your brain! My Pitcher has more points than your pathetic stick-twirler!" Zina jeered, but then she gasped. Hope was behind her, and he fired yellow energy at Love, impacting her. "Nani?"
"Trap Card, Attack As One!, activate!" Kotori cried. "Since I only control two monsters, by forfeiting Hope's attack, even though he couldn't anyway, his Attack Points are added to Love's until the End Phase!" Love looked back at Hope with surprise. Hope retracted his face armor and winked at her with a smile. Love winked back before turning back to the battle.
Love ATK:4700
"Kattobingu yo, watashi! Love, get rid of Zap Pitcher! Hope Power, Love Laser!" The mage fired a yellow beam of energy from her staff. The beam pierced right through the plant, causing the electrified water to splash everywhere as it wilted, before it exploded violently.
"Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh!" Zina screamed as she was thrown back, landing on the ground.
Kotori LP:1600
Zina LP:0 – LOSER
Kotori's face flashed with the word WIN as the Augmented Reality vanished. Kotori let out a deep breath. "I did it. Go for it, Astral."
"Right." The spirit mused. He reached out his hand, causing Zina to groan. The card came out of her, crackling electricity, and floated over to Astral. His hand was lightly zapped, but he grabbed the card. "Observation #26: Numbers are capable of granting superhuman abilities to their owners. This card granted electrokinesis… Number 48 granted super speed… How is this possible?"
*Meanwhile*
The mystery man saw the exchange and clenched his fist. "Curses… even with Tsukumo subdued, Mizuki is still a threat." He left the scene grumbling. "I must do something about this…"
