Chapter 16: Battle Royale: Shark and Quattro vs. Chaos Emperor Dark Nash

"Since I'm outmanned, I'll start this duel." Dark Nash said. He put his right hand ontop of his deck. "I draw!" Quattro cringed. Dark Nash smirked at the card he drew. He revealed it to everyone watching.

"Oh no." Astral muttered.

"I activate Rank-Up Magic: The Seventh One!" Dark Nash called out. "With this, I can special summon one Over-Hundred Number from my Extra Deck, so come on out, Number 101: Silent Honor ARK!" Number 101: Silent Honor ARK came out of the overlay network. Silent Honor ARK, rank 4, attack: 2100, defense: 1000.

"And I activate The Seventh One's additional effect." Dark Nash continued. "With it, I rebuild the overlay network with Number 101: Silent Honor ARK. Go, Chaos Xyz Evolution! I Xyz summon Number C101: Silent Honor DARK!" The overlay exploded, revealing Silent Honor DARK, twirling his spear. Number C101: Silent Honor DARK, rank 5, attack: 2800, defense: 1500. Quattro growled.

"I place 4 cards facedown and end my turn, your move, Shark." Dark Nash said as he placed his four chosen cards facedown. Shark his right hand atop his deck.

"I draw!" shouted Shark. He looked at the card he drew. He then smirked in amusement.

"I activate the special effect of my Silent Wobby from my hand." Shark said. "With this card, I special summon it onto your field, Dark Nash." Dark Nash cringed a bit.

"My field?" he ask, confused. Silent Wobby then swam from Sharks' hand to Dark Nashs' field.

"Silent Wobby has another effect." Shark explained. "When it's special summoned to your field, you get to draw a card, but me and Quattro gain 1000 points each." Sharks' life points: 4000-5000, Quattros' life points: 4000-5000. Quattro smiled, while Dark Nash growled.

"Next, I activate the effect of my Panther Shark from my hand. Since you control at least 2 monsters, I can normal summon without tribute. I then special summon Eagle Shark, since I control Panther Shark." Yuma smiled.

"I know what you're going for." Quattro said with a smile. Shark nodded.

"I overlay my Panther and Eagle Sharks! With these two monsters I build the overlay network and Xyz summon Number 73: Abyss Splash!" The overlay network then exploded, revealing Number 73: Abyss Splash. Number 73: Abyss Splash, rank 5, attack: 2400, defense: 1400.

"I place 3 cards facedown and end my turn. Your turn, Quattro." Shark said as he tossed his 3 chosen cards facedown on his duel disk. Quattro nodded.

"Time to dazzle you with my "fanservice", I draw!" Quattro declared as he drew one card from the top of his deck.

"Shark and Quattro now have a total of 10,000 life points." Quinton observed. "Impressive."

"I normal summon Gimmick Puppet Gear Changer." Quattro said while slapping his chosen monster on his duel disk. Gimmick Puppet Gear Changer, level 1, attack: 100, defense: 100. Trey gaped.

"What is Quattro doing?" Trey asked. "That gear is useless against Silent Honor DARK!" Quinton smirked.

"Don't worry Trey, Quattro has a plan." Quinton reassured him. Trey turned to look at his brother.

"You sure?" he asked. Quinton nodded.

"I'm positive." Quinton said with a smile. Trey nodded. Quattro then smiled.

"Quinton is right Trey. I do have a plan for Gear Changer. I special summon from my hand Gimmick Puppet Magnet Doll from my hand!" Trey gasped, as did Yuma.

"He never had that card." Trey said.

"He did." Quinton muttered. "He just never drew it, or one of its copies."

"With Magnet Doll on my field, I now activate Gear Changers' effect. Now, it becomes the same level as my Magnet Doll." Gear Changers' level: 1-8. Dark Nash growled. Quattro raised his right hand up high.

"I overlay my 2 Gimmick Puppets! With two monsters I build the overlay network and Xyz summon Number 15: Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinder!" The overlay network then exploded, revealing a machine-like humanoid. Number 15: Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinder, rank 8, attack: 1500, defense: 2500. Dark Nash chuckled.

"Whatever. Giant Grinder will become Silent Honor DARKs' Chaos Overlay Unit on my turn." Dark Nash said. Quattro shook his head in disagreement.

"Nuh-uh!" Quattro protested. "I activate Number 15s' special ability! By detaching one overlay unit, I can destroy 1 face-up monster on your field, and if that monster card is an Xyz monster, you take damage equal to its attack points." Dark Nashs' eyes widened.

"Say what?" he asked, shocked. He watched as Silent Honor DARK was reeled in toward Giant Grinders' grinding stomach. SNAP!

"OH NO!" Dark Nash screamed as he was flown backwards from the explosion, his 4000 life points fell to 1200 very quickly.

"There you go Quattro!" cheered Trey.

That much damage already? thought Dark Nash. He got up slowly from the impact, chuckling softly. No matter, that damage was meaningless. Quinton shook his head.

"No Trey, that damage was pointless." Quinton muttered. Trey turned to look at his eldest brother.

"What do you mean, Quinton?" asked Trey, confused.

"Have you forgotten C101s' effect Trey?" Quinton asked.

"Oh no!" Trey realizing the fact. "It can revive itself if Silent Honor ARK is in the graveyard, and if it had overlay unit when it was destroyed."

"Indeed." Michael agreed. "It's the most powerful Chaos Over-Hundred Number." Dark Nash smirked.

"Impressive Quattro, but not impressive enough. I activate Silent Honor DARKS' special ability! Went it's destroyed when it had an overlay unit, it com swimming back to my field, and then I gain life points equal to it's attack points." Dark Nash exlained. Then, his life points increased from 1200-4000. Quattro gritted his teeth.

"Whatever. I place 3 cards facedown, and that'll end my turn. You're up, Dark Nash." Quattro said as he slapped his chosen 3 cards facedown. Dark Nash grinned.

"Alright then, I draw!" he shouted as he drew his next card.

Alright, both of those Xyz monsters are threatening, but which one should I make an overlay unit? Dark Nash thought.

"Ah, I know which Number of yours should become my monsters' new overlay unit!" he laughed while pointing at Number 15. Quattro growled in response.

"Don't worry Quattro! I got you covered!" Shark countered. Quattro looked at Shark.

"You do?" he asked. Shark nodded.

"Yes, because I activate the trap, Xyz Veil!" Shark replied. Dark Nashs' eyes widened.

"Oh no!" Dark Nash cried out, shocked. Quattro smirked.

"As long as one of our monsters has Xyz Material, you can't make them Xyz material for your monster." Shark explained. Dark Nash growled, then he smiled.

"Impressive, but not impressive enough, because I activate the spell card Aqua Jet, which boosts the attack of my Silent Honor DARK by 1000." C101s' attack: 2800-3800. Quattro growled in frustration.

"I'm not done yet you two! Because now I activate the spell card, Secret Wave! With this spell, I can enable Silent Honor DARK attack both of you directly! Hahaha!" Shark gritted his teeth, while Quattro again.

"Oh no!" Trey cried out.

"This is bad." Mizar said. "With those two attacks, Shark and Quattro will each have 1200 life points left, leaving them with a total of 2400 life points." Dark Nash pointed his index finger on his right hand toward Quattro.

"Silent Honor DARK, attack Quattro directly!" Dark Nash commanded. Silent Honor DARK did just that. Slash!

"Urgh, argh!" Quattro screamed as he was thrown off his feet, landing on his back, his life points then depleted from 5000-1200. Shark then turned and looked at Quattro.

"Quattro, no!" Trey screamed, terrified. Quattro got up slowly.

"Ugh..." he groaned. "That attack actually hurt." Silent Honor DARK then attacked Shark as well.

"Ugh!" Shark grunted, as his life points then depleted from 5000-1200 as well. Yuma just stared.

"This is not good Yuma." Alito said. Astral nodded.

"Indeed. One more attack like that and Shark, as well as Quattro, will lose." Astral said.

"I end my turn there, and since I did, the attack points of my Silent Honor DARK goes back down to 2800. You're up, Shark."

"I draw!" shouted Shark as he drew his next card. He glanced toward Quattro and his Number 15: Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinder, which in turn, Quattro nodded.

"I now activate Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinders' ability! By detaching one overlay unit, I can destroy your Silent Honor DARK, and then you take damage equal to it's attack points." Shark explained. Dark Nash growled in frustration, then he smiled.

"Ha! Nice try, but I activate the quick-play spell, Heat and Heal! With this, not only does it become Silent Honor DARKs' overlay unit, but I gain life points equal to its attack points." Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinder fired its cannon, destroying Silent Honor DARK, which in turn, exploded.

"Argh!" Dark Nash cried out as he was blown backwards, his life points increased to 6800, then depleted back down to 4000.

"Silent Honor DARK isn't staying down for long, it gets reborn and so do my life points." Dark Nash countered. His life points then rose back up to 6800. Shark growled.

"No matter how many times his monster goes down, it just gets back up." Trey noted.

"Indeed." Michael agreed. "Why do you think Nash was the Leader of the Barian Emperors?" Trey shrugged. Shark smirked.

"I now activate the spell card, Rank-up Magic Quick Chaos!" Shark dclared. Yuma and Astral smiled.

"I rebuild the overlay network with Abyss Splash! Go, Chaos Xyz Evolution! I Xyz summon Number C73: Abyss Supra Splash!" The overlay network exploded, revealing Number C73: Abyss Splash in all its glory. Number C73: Abyss Supra Splash, rank 6, attack: 3000, defense: 2000. Dark Nash cringed at the sight of C73. Shark then turned toward Quattro,

"Quattro, do you mind using your trap now?" Shark asked. Quattro nodded.

"I play the trap, DNA Surgery!" Quattro said. "With this, I declare one type of monster, and all monsters currently on the field become that type, so I chose Machines." C73s' type: Warrior-Machine. Dark Nash smirked.

"What was the point of that?" he asked. Quattro had his turn to smirk. Shark then pulled another card from his hand.

"Next, I play the spell, Megamorph! Since my life points are lower than yours, my Abyss Supra Splashs' attack points double!" Shark declared. Abyss Supras' attack: 3000-6000. Dark Nash snarled in disgust. Shark pointed at Dark Nash.

"Alright Abyss Supra, attack Silent Honor DARK!"" he commanded. Abyss Supra prepared to strike, but then Dark Nash began to laugh.

"How pathetic! I activate the trap, Draining Shield! Not only does it stop your attack, but I now gain life points equal to your monsters' attack, which is 6000." Dark Nash grinned as his life points increased from 6800-12800. Yumas' mouth fell open.

"W-what?!" he stammered. "12800 life points?!"

"Yuma, Shark and Quattro don't look phased at all." Astral observed.

"Yeah, you're right." Vector agreed. Dark Nash was still laughing.

"It was a nice attempt boys, but this duel is over!" Dark Nash laughed. Shark then began to smile.

"It's over alright, but for you!" Shark countered. "And here's proof! I activate, the spell, Double or Nothing!" The facedown card revealed itself.

"Oh no!" Dark Nash gasped, realizing what was about to unfold.

"Oh yes! Because not only can Abyss Supra attack again, but its attack points are doubled." Shark explained. Abyss Supras' attack points: 6000-12000.

"And I activate the quick-play spell, Limiter Removal! Which doubles Abyss Supra Splashs' attack once again!" Quattro jumped in. Abyss Supras' attack points: 12000-24000. Dark Nash stepped back in shock.

"24-24000 attack points?!" he choked.

"Abyss Supra Splash, destroy Silent Honor DARK!" Shark commanded. Slash!

'Urgh, argh!" Dark Nash screamed as he was flew backward, he then landed on the blue, hard ground, his life points then depleted from 12800-0. Shark and Quattro: WIN. Yuma and the rest of the gang cheered.

"Way to go Quattro!" Trey cheered.

"You fed him to the fishes!" Kite joked. Dark Nash got up, shaking with rage.

"Just you wait! Once my Master shows up he'll-!" Dark Nash started, but he was cut off. Then, laughter.

"Hehehehahaha!" laughed a familiar voice. Shark and Quattro growled, while Yuma readied himself.

"Chaos..." Michael growled softly. Dark Nash turned to see his Master directly in front of him.

"Uh Master, I'm sorry!" Dark Nash pleaded.

"No excuses!" Chaos snarled. "Your power, along with the other Chaos Emperors, are mine!" Dark Nash turned to face Shark and Quattro, looking for assistance, but it never came.

"NO!" screamed Dark Nash, and soon he was no more. Shark shook his head. Yuma leaped over Shark and Quattro so he was facing Chaos.

"You wanna duel? Then you got one!" Yuma snarled. Chaos laughed.

"How pathetic!" he countered. He snapped his fingers and disappeared.

"Get back here!" Yuma ordered. "I wasn't done!" In the blowing wind, they heard his voice for a moment, which in turn, was long enough for them to hear his last words before disappearing.

''Come to my castle, there, we will duel. My castle isn't far from where you are. Just the red smoke coming out of my castles' chimney in the distance and you shall find it. However, my castle is guarded by a maze. Get through the maze, and then we'll duel." Girag pounded his fists together.

"What are we waiting for? Let's go!" he said.

"it won't be that simple." Vector pointed out.

"Yeah. Besides, we're missing two of our members." Shark pointed out as well. As if on cue, Dumon and Rio came out of the hospital. Dumon however, was using Rio as a support.

"Dumon!" Shark and Yuma exclaimed. "Are you okay?"

"Yes Yuma, yes Shark, I'm fine." Dumon said reassuringly.

"Good, so off we go!" Vector said. Everyone nodded.

0713MM: Looks like our heroes have decided to invade Chaoss' Castle. Interesting.
