Chapter 3: A little extra kick
"Yuma, why didn't you call us with the Creature pod," Martin asked, annoyed. "Zach took it before I could. I had no choice but to duel
him for- wait, he still has it," Yuma was saying as he realized what had happened. "Zach's still unconscious, so I'll take it from him
now," Chris said, sighing as he took back the C-pod. "You're lucky you didn't face him, because he had a number card, which I'm sure
-," Yuma was saying until Martin interrupted him, "Number card? We have some too you know." Yuma stared at him, as if Yuma had
seen a ghost. "You have number cards! Why didn't you tell me," He asked, clearly angry. "I didn't think-," Chris was about to say
until a large cook stopped them. "Well, if it isn't Green Grape and Blueberry. Hey, ain't you that duelist we saw earlier," Gourmand
asked, looking at Yuma. "Maybe I am, Maybe I'm not," Yuma replied, taunting him. "Listen Gourmand, what are you here for," Chris
questioned, changing the subject. "A duel, that's what," He replied, a white 97 appearing on his neck. "All right, then I'll duel you,"
Chris accepted. "Duel Disk, engage, D-gazer, activate," yelled Chris as the same female voice gave the same statement, "Augmented
Reality Vision Link established." "Let's duel (Chris: LP 4000) (Gourmand: LP 4000)!" "I'll take the first move, Green Grape! I summon
my Earth Cook in ATK mode (ATK: 1600). Then I equip it with Extra Spice, which gives it 500 extra ATK and the ability to attack this
turn, but its attack is 0 the next turn (ATK: 2100). Then I attack (Chris: LP 1900) and play 1 face down to end my turn." "It's time to
show you what I can do! I'm going to play 3 facedown cards and summon my Butterfly Caller to the field in DEF mode (DEF: 2000).
Then, since I have 3 facedown cards, I can summon three Egg tokens to the field in attack mode (ATK: 100) whose levels are equal
to the number of facedown cards on my field, but Butterfly Caller is destroyed. Then I overlay my level 3 Egg tokens so I can build
the overlay network and Xyz summon Number 43: Queen Bee Spirit (ATK: 2000)! Then, by using her ability, I can use one overlay
unit and destroy one monster on your field, inflicting damage to you equal to its level times 200 points (Gourmand: LP 3200). Then I
attack, and I can use her ability to destroy one spell or trap on your field. If it's a spell, you take 500 points of damage but if it's a
trap you take 1000 points of damage." "It's the spell Spice Shot! I can give you half of one monster in my graveyard's original ATK as
damage when this card is removed from the field (Chris: LP 1100) (Gourmand: LP 2700)." "Now time for Number 43's attack. Go,
Spirit Stinger (Gourmand: LP 700)! That will end my turn." "Then I play Monster Reborn to bring back Earth Cook and then I normal
summon Wind Cook. Then I overlay my two cooks to build the overlay network! Come forth, Number 97: Devil's Cook (ATK: 2600).
Then, by using 1 overlay unit, you take 1000 points of damage or your monster loses 1000 ATK points. I choose option number 2, so
your Queen Bee Spirit is gonna lose 1000 of her ATK points (ATK: 1000). Now attack!" "Duel over, Gourmand, because I activate the
Reclaimed Title trap card, so Queen Bee's ATK is back to normal (ATK: 2000). Then I activate the Challenger's Handicap trap, halving
your monster's ATK (ATK: 1300)." "But I activate Number 97's third effect to negate your trap!" "Nice try, but I activate the Honor
Seal trap, preventing the activation of monster effects this turn, leaving your monster at 1300 ATK (Gourmand: LP 0) (Chris Wins). I
guess I'll be taking this heart piece and number." Chris said, ending the duel, taking Gourmand's last heart piece and Number 97.
