0713MM: We're about to find out what Michael truly is!

Chapter 7: Battle Royale: Michael and Trey vs. Chaos Emperor Dark Umbral Part 3

"Here I go, I draw!" Michael shouted. As he was about to draw, the top of his deck began to glow a bright yellow color.

"What on earth?" asked Dark Umbral.

"Is that-?" asked Astral.

"A Shining Draw?" Yuma finished Astral's question.

"We're about to find out." Shark said.

"Go, Mythirian Draw!" shouted Michael.

"Whoa!" cried out Trey.

"Mythirian Draw?" asked Dark Umbral, confused and amazed at the same time.

"What is that?" asked Quattro. Dumons' eyes widened.

"I read about it." Dumon spoke up. Marin/Rio turned to look at Dumon.

"You have?" she asked. Dumon nodded.

"Yeah. It's a power only a powerful person can obtain. I also read that only a Number Guardian can use it, but Michael isn't a Number Guardian." Then, something clicked in the back of Dumon's mind.

"What is it Dunon?" asked Rio. (Of course, she's blushing while saying this. Dumon smiled in return, and blushed as well, then he began to answer Marin/Rio's question).

"I remember back in my past life that Michael was a Number Guardian who protected all of the Mythirian Numbers, including his own Mythirian Numbers. His Mythirian Numbers are as we all know are Number 72: Shogi Rook, Number 74: Master of Blades, and Number 87: Queen of the Night." Shark looked at Dumon.

"So that means there are 10 Mythirian Numbers." Shark said. Dumon nodded.

"Exactly." he replied. Vector put his hand, to his chin.

"Hmm..." he muttered.

"What card did he draw?" asked Mizar, curious. Michael looked at the card he drew. He smirked at it.

"What did you draw, Michael?" asked Dark Umbral. Michael's smirk grew wider.

"You want to know?" Michael asked. "Fine. I'll show you the card I drew!" Michael lifted the card up high so everyone could see it, and it's glow. Dark Umbral covered his eyes.

"Argh!" he cried out. Dumon looked closely at the card, his eyes widened with shock.

"It can't be!" he shouted in disbelief. Rio looked at Dumon.

"What is it?" she asked. Dumon pointed at the card.

"That!" he shouted. Rio looked at the card, and gasped.

"No way!" she cried out.

"Michael is really-!?" Mizar shouted.

"A Number Guardian!?" everyone finished the question with a gasp, including Dark Umbral.

"Impossible!" shouted Dark Umbral. "I thought you were a Barian Emperor!" Michael looked at everyone else, including Dark Umbral.

"Yes, I am indeed a Number Guardian." he confirmed. "How I became a Barian Emperor is unknown to me, let alone how did me and brother revert back into young kids?"

"I think I can answer this." Dumon implied. "You became a Barian Emperor because your memories were modified by an outside force." Michael looked quizzically at Dumon.

"What do you mean?" Michael asked.

"I mean, someone, or something influenced you to do terrible actions, which led to your downfall, and becoming a Barian Emperor, not a resident of the Astral World." Dumon explained.

"We all were supposed to become residents of the Astral World." Shark said sadly. He looked up a the sky, then continued, "Until someone messed with our memories!" (Shark/Nash is not refering to Abyss, he is referring to Don Thousand). Then, everyone heard a dark laugh. Everyone looked up.

"Who's there?" shouted Quattro. "Show your self!"

"Very well then." a dark voice said. The thing that laugh began to appear slowly. When he came inot full view, everyone gasped in shock, except Dark Umbral.

"You!" snarled Michael. "You were the one who influenced me, Chaos!" Chaos laughed.

"Indeed, it was me." Chaos chuckled. Dumons' eyes widened.

"Impossible!" shouted Dumon in shock. "I heard that Number Guardians can't be influenced by darkness!" Chaos laughed.

"You are right, and wrong, Dumon." Chaos said. Dumon looked up at Chaos, dumbfounded.

"What do you mean?" Dumon asked.

"I mean that Michael was a Number Guardian indeed. However, there are certain events that will make someone snap. There emotions spill out of them like a cup of a liquid spilling all over the floor." Chaos explained. Dumon looked at Michael, then back a Chaos.

"So, there was an event, or events that made Michaels' emotions spill out of him." Dumon interpreted. Chaos nodded.

"Correct." Chaos smiled. "No wonder the other Barian Emperors call you '"The Intellgient One'." Dumon nodded.

"Indeed I am." he agreed. "But, that doesn't mean I would be leader of Barian World. Oh who am I kidding? Barian World is gone." Chaos nodded.

"Indeed it is." Chaos said. "But enough talk. Let me tell you the real reason I'm here."

"Oh yeah?" asked Mizar. "What is your reason, then?" Chaos chuckled.

"Patience Mizar. " Chaos said. "You don't want to get too angry before the real battle commences." Mizar growled, then he shut up.

"I will tell the story of Michael's' past life." Chaos started. Dumon snarled.

"No!" shouted Dumon. "I will." Chaos looked at Dumon.

"Fine." Chaos muttered. "Tell the story then." Dumon nodded.

"Well, when Michael was young..." Dumon started telling the story of Michael's' past life to everyone.
