Chapter 8: The Berserk Princess Part 2
Last time on Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal…
"Yes, this is it! The sacred resting place of the Great Barian Deity, Don Thousand!" Vector exclaimed, before raising his arm, his palm glowing with pink energy, and placed it over the Emblem on his chest and said, "Don Thousand! I offer you my Life Force in exchange for your great power!" He then held up a blank card, as the Emblem then exploded, releasing a pillar of fire over the Sea.
(Scene Change to Vector making a Deal with Don Thousand)
"Go to Paris in the world of the Miraculous and discover the location's of the Seven Mythyrian Numbers. Retrieve them, and we will be unstoppable." Don Thousand explained.
"If that's what it takes to defeat Yuma and Astral, then consider it done!" Vector exclaimed, as he reached a hand out to Don Thousand. "Now, your power, give it to me!"
"As you wish…" Don Thousand said, as his claws glowed gold and reached into Vector's body and grasped the Barian's crystalline heart, causing Vector to cringe in pain and scream. "Your life belongs to me now. In exchange, I will fuse your being with my power. From this day forward, you and I will be as one!" Don Thousand exclaimed, his body dissolving into black particles, which entered Vector, who's injuries began to fade away, until he was at complete health.
(Scene Change to Rose Watching the News on her Phone)
"Today, Prince Ali, heir to the throne of the kingdom of Achu, will do the honors during his official Parisian visit by hosting a toy fundraiser for the sick children at the Paris City Children's Hospital," Nadja reported.
(Scene Change to Chloe ripping up Rose's Letter)
Rose gasped in horror and burst into tears as Chloé was about to step into her limo, leaving Rose crying on the ground.
"Not cool, Chloe!" Yuma yelled, as he ran up to the limo. Seeing the mysterious pendant around his neck, Chloe smirked and quickly snatched his Emperor's Key around his neck. Panicking, he yelled, "Hey! That isn't yours!"
"It is now." Chloe said, as she kept the Key away from him and stepped into the limo, which started to pull away.
"HEY, WAIT!" Yuma yelled, as he and Marinette began to chase the limo, Astral flying beside them, knowing how important that Key was.
'Once Prince Ali lays eyes on me with this on, Prince Ali will forget all about those sick kids.' Chloe thought to herself, before putting on the pendant and saw the running duo getting further away.
(Scene Change to Rose spotting a blank piece of paper on the ground)
"What's that...?" she asked, getting up and walking over to it. "Odd..." she muttered to herself again. "Where could this have come from...?"
Just then, a shadowy cloud appeared around the piece of paper, which then surrounded Rose herself. She gasped and began to hold her head while groaning in pain. "Yes, Rose…" A sinister voice spoke inside of her head. "Let the Number take hold…" The shadowy cloud around her grew bigger, as a bright red mark then appeared on the base of the right of her neck, which looked similar to the number 80. Rose then let out a scream as the fog dispersed all over her, which eventually dissipated, revealing she had changed to Princess Fragrance.
"I'm coming, my prince!" She sang, before she headed to the direction of the Le Grand Hotel.
(Insert Marinette and Yuma entering Le Grand Hotel, with Dumon secretly watching in the Shadows)
'How are Yuma and Astral already here?!' Dumon thought, surprised to see the duo in this world, recalling that he had spotted the Different Dimensional Airship on his way here. 'I was sure that I passed them!' His thoughts were interrupted, as he spotted the possessed Rose approaching the doorman outside. "Wait, the girl…" He muttered, before pulling out a card and said, "Perhaps I can use her."
(Scene Change to Press Conference, as Prince Ali gave Yuma his Key back)
"Prince Ali, where is…" said Nadja, but stopped when everyone smelled a disgusting smell. "…that-that smell coming from?! Like rotten fish?!"
"Oh, man that stinks!" Yuma exclaimed, as everyone covered their mouths and noses and slowly turned towards Chloé.
"What? That's not me!" said Chloé, sniffing herself, realizing that it was the opposite of what she said. "It-it is me! Ew!"
Suddenly, a pink cloud covered the nearby paparazzi, causing everyone else to look at them.
"At your service, Princess Fragrance." The paparazzi sang as they bowed to the villain in question.
"Who-who are you?" Prince Ali asked nervously.
"I'm Princess Fragrance, and I've come just for you! In just a spritz, you'll be mine, Prince Ali!" Princess Fragrance exclaimed, as the red 80 mark on her neck glowed brightly, causing Yuma, Astral and Marinette's eyes to widen.
(Scene Change to Princess Fragrance seeing Prince Ali escape in his chaperone's car)
"My Prince!" she cried, before Utopia suddenly flew up outside the window, preventing her from escaping. She then turned around and glared at the duo, with the number-like symbol glowing brightly. "You…!" She growled, pointing at Yuma and Marinette, the boy having his Duel Disk active and Utopia in one of his Monster Zones. "You two are ruining everything!"
"Indeed. They are the one's keeping you from your true love." A new voice suddenly spoke, as the gray-skinned Barian came out of the shadows, causing Yuma and Astral to gasp in disbelief.
"Dumon!" Astral shouted.
"How nice that you remember me." Dumon said, as he now stood next to Princess Fragrance. "I must admit, though I have just arrived in the world of the Miraculous, I was not expecting you both to already be here." Dumon stated, causing Marinette's eyes to widen. "Even so, that just makes things easier for us."
"If it's a Duel you want, it's a Duel you'll get!" Yuma shouted, as he pulled out a card from his Extra Deck and held it out to Marinette. "Hey Mari, ready to take these clowns down?"
Uponing seeing what the card was in her friend's hand, she accepted it and smirked, "You know I am, Yuma."
Everyone then put on/summoned their Duel Disk's and Duel Gazers, as a digital copy of the Dining Hall projected around them.
"LET'S DUEL!"
(Play Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal: Halfway to Forever)
The music starts up with Yuma activating his gear like in the original opening, before a blue vortex sucks Yuma and Astral into Paris.
Still together as one;
Cuz divided we're none;
Ready to go, we feel the flow!
Yuma then landed on his feet, as Astral floated next to him, before he drew a card and summoned Utopia.
So don't stand in our way;
You know we ain't afraid;
This is our time, we're in control!
Plagg was about to eat a piece of Camembert, before he was sucked into Adrien's ring, while Tikki she sucked in Marinette's earrings, causing them to transform into Ladybug and Cat Noir, who then Fist Bumped.
If I trip up today;
You just wipe it away;
All of my fears are gone, erased!
The rest of Yuma's friends then appeared on the Different Dimensional Airship, with Shark and Kite summoning Number 32: Shark Drake and Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon.
Let us tear down the walls;
'Til the final night falls;
The bonds of our souls can't be replaced!
Everyone then came together, as they all charged towards Hawk Moth and the Barians.
Let us fight together;
Regret it never;
Our dreams will be…!
The Giant Shadow of Don Thousand appears over both worlds as Vector goes from his human form to his Barian one, devastating the land.
Halfway to,
Forever;
Our light comes shining through!
Yuma and Astral then fuse into Zexal II as Yuma Summons Utopia Ray Victory as it absorbed an Overlay Unit.
Reach down deep;
Beat defeat;
Do all that we can do!
Ladybug and Cat Noir were then shown, as their monsters appeared and joined Utopia Ray Victory's attack.
Halfway to,
Forever;
We've got nothing to lose!
Hawk Moth smirked, as he held his arm out and created Akuma's, while Vector prepared to counter-attack.
Keep breathing;
Believing;
Halfway to forever-rrrrrr!
The Numeron Code was then shown, all of the Miraculous were spiraling around it. Astral and Yuma smile at each other and touch hands as they all come together with their aces standing out, with the title below them.
Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir
(End Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal: Halfway to Forever)
Inside Prince Ali's chaperone's car, they were speeding away from the Hotel while at the same time still holding their breath so as not to take in Chloé's fish smell.
"Can we open the windows?" Cat Noir asked. "This fish smell is even too much for a cat."
The chaperone nodded, as she opened all the car windows, getting Prince Ali and Cat Noir to immediately gasp for fresh air, before they spotted Utopia, who was flying outside of the Le Grand Hotel, vanish into Golden Particles.
"Looks like Yuma is keeping her busy." Cat Noir commented, as he turned to the Prince's chaperone, asking, "Is it alright if I can use your car's monitor?" Getting a hesitant nod, the feline-themed hero then began messing with said monitor, before the screen then displayed the words, "Connecting to Dueling Network…" before showing what was happening back at the Le Grand Hotel, with a "LIVE" was in the top right corner. "Good, they're just starting." The feline-themed hero sighed, before seeing four portraits (one in each corner) of each the duelists, each with Player Name's and Life Point count.
Yuma: LP: 4000
Marinette: LP: 4000
Dumon: LP: 4000
Princess Fragrance: LP: 4000
"Wait, a Tag Duel? But who's teamed up with Princess Fragrance?" He asked, before spotting something on the silver-skinned person. Gasping silently, he thought 'That Emblem! Looks like Barian World finally decided to show their faces around here.'
"Um, do you mind explaining this 'Tag Duel'?" Prince Ali asked, curious by what Cat Noir meant, while Chloe stared in shock, seeing Marinette there, wearing the same kind of gear Yuma had on.
"I think it's better if you just watched, Your Highness." Cat Noir grinned, as he began to explain the rules of the game.
"LET'S DUEL!" Everyone on the screen exclaimed, as they all drew their opening hands.
Meanwhile, back at the Le Grand Hotel, the four Duelist's prepared themselves, as four images of their faces appeared in between the two sides, with Yuma and Marinette's backgrounds being blue and Dumon and Princess Fragrance's being red.
"Since this is a Tag Duel, we will each start off with 4000 Life Points, and turn order will be determined randomly." Dumon explained, as the four portraits began circling around each other. "Should one person lose all their Life Points, their Teammate loses as well."
Nodding in understandment, Yuma and Marinette looked at the circling portraits, as they began to speed up.
'Okay, Marinette. This is your first Duel against Barian World.' Marinette thought, staring at her opponents. 'With Tikki still recovering, you'll have to do this by yourself. I just hope all that training paid off.' The portrait's then stopped, as they all lined up perfectly.
Turn Order: Princess Fragrance, Marinette, Dumon, Yuma
"Well, looks like royalty goes first." Princess Fragrance smiled, as she examined her hand. Taking a card from her hand, she then declared, "I'll begin by playing the Spell Card, 1st Movement Solo!" After she played it, a large, digital replica of the card materialized in front of her.
"Now..." began Princess Fragrance, "Since I currently do not control any monsters at the moment, 1st Movement Solo allows me to Special Summon any monster from my hand or my Deck that's Level 4 or lower and has 'Melodious' in its name. And I choose to play Serenade the Melodious Diva from my Deck in Defense Mode!" Upon saying that, her Duel Disk's auto-shuffling function mixed up her cards; when it was done, one card was left sticking out from the top. Princess Fragrance pulled it out and placed it onto the card tray face-up and horizontally.
After playing her Monster Card, an enlarged digital copy of the card appeared in front, a young maiden with pink skin and hair rose up from out of it. She wore a dress that was colored yellow and orange on top, and red on the long skirt below, along with yellow frills at the very bottom of it. The red part was decorated with musical notes, and on her back was a pink, wing-shaped object.
Serenade the Melodious Diva
Attribute: LIGHT
Monster Type: Fairy/Effect
Level: 4
ATK: 400
DEF: 1900
"Since Serenade was Special Summon, I get an extra Normal Summon this turn, as long as the monster I summon is a Melodious monster! So, give a warm welcome to Aria the Melodious Diva!" Her new monster was a pink-skinned girl with violet hair, wearing a skintight, burgandy bodysuit, an orange skirt, and boots similar in color to her aforementioned bodysuit.
Aria the Melodious Diva
Attribute: LIGHT
Monster Type: Fairy/Effect
Level: 4
ATK: 1600
DEF: 1200
"Now, I will use my second Normal Summon to bring out Soprano the Melodious Songstress!" Her new monster was a green-skinned woman with a dress that seemed to incorporate blue-and-orange colored armor in most places, such as on the upper body, the sides of the hips, the shoulders and even on her lower arms. The shirt portion was white, with that same orange color decorating it on the bottom. She had long, red hair, but her eye color was unknown, as she was wearing a yellow blindfold.
Soprano the Melodious Songstress
Attribute: LIGHT
Monster Type: Fairy/Effect
Level: 4
ATK: 1400
DEF: 1400
"And since I now control a Melodious monster," Princess Fragrance continued, "I can also Special Summon Canon the Melodious Diva in Attack Mode to join it!" Her forth monster had violet skin and blue hair that was shaped similarly to a flame. She wore a dress that was colored dark purple, dark blue, light pink, and black, and had on a pair of golden glasses.
Canon the Melodious Diva
Attribute: LIGHT
Monster Type: Fairy/Effect
Level: 4
ATK: 1400
DEF: 2000
"She has four Level 4 monsters…!" Astral commented with wide eyes, causing Yuma and Marinette to panic a little.
"I Overlay both my Level 4 Serenade and Level 4 Aria!" Princess Fragrance declared, as the two monsters turned into yellow lights, before shooting into the sky. "With these two monsters, I build the Overlay Network!" After stating that, a galaxy-like portal appeared in front of her, as the two lights entered it. "Accursed armor with a soul of madness! Unleash the drumbeats of Chaos itself!" The possessed Rose chanted, as the portal then exploded, leaving a red mark that resembled the number 80 on the ground. "I Xyz Summon, Number 80: Rhapsody in Berserk!"
From high above, a large object that had two small purple spheres circling it began descending to the floor below. It then began to unfold itself into a more humanoid form, taking on the appearance of a large, armored human with huge fists, a long, purple cape, and piercing red eyes, along with the 80 mark that had appeared on the ground earlier was also imprinted upon the neck area of the armored monster.
Number 80: Rhapsody in Berserk
Attribute: DARK
Monster Type: Fiend/Xzy/Effect
Rank: 4
ATK: 0
DEF: 1200
Overlay Units: 2
"So that's your Number card." Marinette glared at the princess, who chuckled a little bit.
"Indeed. This card's power shall present itself much later on..." Princess Fragrance said to her two opponents. "But first, I will Overlay Canon and Soprano, and build the Overlay Network once more!"
"Again?!" Yuma exclaimed, as just like before, the remaining two monsters turned into yellow lights, as they were then drawn into a red portal that formed in front of her, opposed to the galaxy-like one she had used to summon her other Number.
"I Xyz Summon... Fairy Cheer Girl!" Princess Fragrance shouted as a young girl with blue fairy wings and a green dress came out of the portal with a pair of yellow lights swirling around her. She had short blue hair and carried a pair of yellow pom-poms in her hands. She gave out a slight giggle after floating back down to the ground.
Fairy Cheer Girl
Attribute: LIGHT
Monster Type: Fairy/Xyz/Effect
Rank: 4
ATK: 1900
DEF: 1500
Overlay Units: 2
'Fairy Cheer Girl?!' Yuma thought, recalling that card. 'Doesn't Tori have that Monster?!'
"Next, I will use Fairy Cheer Girl's ability!" stated the princess. "Once per turn, I can use one of her Overlay Units in order to draw another card!" Octavia's new monster then drew in one of her lights and absorbed into one of her pom-poms.
Fairy Cheer Girl
Overlay Units: 2 - 1 = 1
She then shook her pom-poms excitedly, releasing a power that flew into Princess Fragrance's Deck, prompting her to draw another card. After doing so, she then told Sunset, "Now, I activate one of the abilities of Rhapsody in Berserk! It allows me to target any other Xyz Monster I control and lets me equip said target with it! Just watch!"
Everyone looked on as the possessed Rose's Number monster stood up and glared at Fairy Cheer Girl. The cutesy cheerleader looked over at the scary creature, shivering. Just then, the Number turned into a thick, black cloud (which sended the Number's Overlay Units into a purple vortex) and phased right into Fairy Cheer Girl's body, causing the monster to scream in pain and terror. "AHHHHHHHH!"
Meanwhile, on the Different Dimensional Ship, everyone was either doing a few practice Duel's or going through their cards, in case they were attacked, as Tori heard a high pitched scream.
"Huh?" Tori said, as she looked around.
"Something wrong?" Bronk asked, as he just finished his Duel with Caswell.
"I could have sworn I just heard someone screaming in pain." Tori said, before turning back to her Deck, which had her Fairy Cheer Girl on top. "Maybe it was just my imagination."
Back at the Duel, the dark cloud that was Princess Fragrance's Number monster had fully phased into Fairy Cheer Girl's body. The little fairy put on a smile, but it wasn't a pleasant-looking one. She now had a very wicked-looking expression on her face, and a red 80 mark on her neck like Princess Fragrance did.
Horrified, Marinette asked her opponent in a slightly disappointed tone, "Rose... what did you do to her?!"
"First off, it's Princess Fragrance!" She snapped, before regaining her composure. "And for your other question, it's quite simple, actually. Rhapsody has the power to possess any Xyz Monster I choose. When it does, it increases that monster's Attack Points by 1200!"
Fairy Cheer Girl
ATK: 1900 + 1200 = 3100
"And in addition, Fairy Cheer Girl is now treated as a Number monster; which means now she can't be defeated by anything but another Number in battle!" Princess Fragrance added. "To end my turn, I will Set one card face-down."
'Great, the Duel just started and that royal already has a major advantage.' Marinette thought in annoyance. Looking at the holder that contained her Extra Deck, she thought, 'From what I remember about Tag Team Duels, nobody is allowed to conduct their Battle Phase until everyone's had a turn, so I'm gonna to find another way to get rid of that Fairy Cheer Girl.' A plan starting to form in her mind, she then said, "Alright, it's my move! I draw!" She drew her first card and added it to her hand, before taking another out and placing it into her Duel Pad's Spell & Trap Zone slot. "First, I'll place one card face-down and play the Spell Card, Double Summon! This card lets me Normal Summon TWO monsters instead of one this turn!" Marinette declared, before taking another card out of her hand, and added, "Next, I'll Normal Summon Madolche Mewfeuille in Attack Mode!"
After the digital card appeared on the field, out of the card came a small, pink cat with blue eyes, wearing a long, brown, belt-like garment around itself. It seemed to look more like it was a stuffed toy, based on the stitchings that appeared to encircle the bottoms of its four paws.
Madolche Mewfeuille
Attribute: EARTH
Monster Type: Beast/Effect
Level: 3
ATK: 500
DEF: 300
"Now," Marinette started, continuing her move, "Mewfeuille hates being all by itself, and since I Normal Summoned him, his special ability activates! So now I get to Special Summon ANOTHER 'Madolche' Monster from my hand! Luckily, I already have his best friend right here to join him!" Taking out another card from her hand, she then shouted, "I Summon Madolche Messengelato in Defense Mode!" Her second monster was a small-sized human boy who was dressed like a mailman. He carried a large, green bag full of letters while also holding one envelope in his gloved hand.
Madolche Messengelato
Attribute: EARTH
Monster Type: Warrior/Effect
Level: 4
ATK: 1600
DEF: 1000
"Now I'll use the effect of my Madolche Messengelato! Since I Special Summoned him, and I also have a Beast-Type Madolche monster on the field with him, I can now take any Madolche Spell Card or Trap Card out of my Deck! And I choose the Field Spell, Madolche Chateau!" After she said that, her Duel Pad automatically shuffled her Deck; when it was finished, the card that she chose was left sticking out of the Deck Zone slot so that she could put it into her hand. After she took it, Marinette then placed the card into her device and exclaimed, "And now I'll go right ahead and play my Field Spell right away!"
Upon playing her card, the field then began to change. In an instant, the walls and ceiling disappeared, as a large castle appeared behind Marinette. The building was quite... unique, to put it lightly; it appeared as though the entire structure was made out of sweet foods such as cake, cookies, flan, pancakes, and more. The ground underneath everyone's feet changed as well, creating a jigsaw puzzle-like design, which also appeared to be made of sweets.
"What did that Baker's Girl do to my Daddy's Hotel?!" Chloe exclaimed in anger and horror at what happened to her home.
"Don't worry! What you are all seeing is all virtual reality! Every card that's played is not actually real." Cat Noir reassured the blonde.
"But what about those weird…Number thingies Yuma uses?!" Chloe yelled, causing the hero to turn to her.
"Other than that." He nervously chuckled, causing the blonde to glare at the hero, while Miss Soraya Khan drove the card underneath the bridge above the Seine, hoping to hide until the threat was taken care of.
Seeing that they haven't been followed, the chaperone sighed in relief, before remembering Chloe's fish smell. "I'm gonna go get some air fresheners." She gagged, getting out of the car, and gasping for fresh air.
"I doubt that can get rid of this smell." Chloe muttered.
"Which is why you are staying outside the vehicle." Miss Khan stated, as she held her breath and opened Chloe's door.
"WHAT?!" Chloe exclaimed in shock, as the Chaperone quickly pulled her out. Before the blonde could get back inside, the adult quickly closed it and all the windows before locking it from the inside, causing Chloe to fume in anger.
"Now that my Field Spell is out, all 'Madolche' Monsters on the field gain 500 Attack and Defense Points!" Marinette exclaimed.
Madolche Mewfeuille
ATK: 500 + 500 = 1000
DEF: 300 + 500 = 800
Madolche Messengelato
ATK: 1600 + 500 = 2100
DEF: 1000 + 500 = 1500
"Next, I'll use my second Normal Summon to bring out Madolche Anjelly!" Marinette declared, playing her next card. Her next monster was an adorable little angel girl with long brown hair, a pretty white dress, and small little angel wings. In her hand was a small spoon. At the moment, there appeared to be some red gelatin in the utensil, which Anjelly immediately put into her mouth, letting out a content sigh from how good it tasted.
Madolche Anjelly
Attribute: EARTH
Monster Type: Fairy/Effect
Level: 4
ATK: 1000 + 500 = 1500
DEF: 1000 + 500 = 1500
"I Overlay Madolche Anjelly and Madolche Messengelato!" Marinette declared, as both of her monsters turned into orange lights. "With these two monsters, I build the Overlay Network!" The lights then shot into the sky, before entering a red portal that appeared in front of Marinette. "I Xyz Summon, Madolche Queen Tiaramisu!"
From out of the red portal came a large and beautiful throne. Sitting on that throne was an even more beautiful woman. She wore a crown on top of her lilac-colored hair, along with dazzling robes of gold and chocolate-brown that draped to the ground. In her hand was a long scepter that shimmered in the sunlight. Swirling around her were two orange-colored orbs of light.
Madolche Queen Tiaramisu
Attribute: EARTH
Monster Type: Fairy/Xyz/Effect
Rank: 4
ATK: 2200 + 500 = 2700
DEF: 2100 + 500 = 2600
Overlay Units: 2
"If you like Tiaramisu right now, then you'll love this!" Marinette said as she pulled out a card from underneath her Xyz Monster. "By using one Overlay Unit, I can normally have her send one Madolche monster in my Graveyard back into my Deck, but since my Field Spell is out, it gets sent back to my hand instead!" After she said that, Tiaramisu raised her scepter and drew one of her orange orbs into it.
Madolche Queen Tiaramisu
Overlay Units: 2 - 1 = 1
Marinette then used the effect to send Messengelato back into her hand. "Not only that," she then told her opponent, "But now her power lets me shuffle one card on YOUR side of the field back to YOUR Deck!"
"WHAT?!" exclaimed the possessed Rose.
"That's right! While your monster can't be beaten except with a 'Number' monster, its power can't protect it from card effects! Sorry, Rose... but this is for your own good!" Marinette said, as her Xyz Monster sent Princess Fragrance's monster off of the field, leaving only two yellow orbs and a black mist. "And since your Xyz Monster is no longer on the field, its Overlay Units and the Number that was attached to it are automatically sent to the Graveyard!" The princess growled, as the two yellow Orbs and black mist were sucked into a purple vortex. "I don't have any other moves to make yet, so I'll end my turn."
"Very well, then. I draw!" Dumon said, drawing his card and putting it in his hand, before staring at Yuma's partner. 'That girl, I sense something strange coming from her. According to the legends, Duel Monsters doesn't exist in this world, and yet, she's Dueling like it always has.' Dumon thought, before turning to Astral, continuing his inner monologue, 'Not only that, she can see Astral clear as day. I wonder…' Dumon decided to put those thoughts aside, as he took a card out of his hand, and said, "To start, I will Normal Summon Star Seraph Scout in Attack Mode!" From above Dumon, a yellow portal opened up, as the monster he played began to descend from it and land in front of him. The monster was a black and almost kite-like entity with wings. It had glowing golden lines on parts of its body, and the thing that could be considered a head was a glowing golden crown.
Star Seraph Scout
Attribute: LIGHT
Monster Type: Fairy/Effect
Level: 4
ATK: 1200
DEF: 1800
"When Star Seraph Scout is Normal Summoned, I'm allowed to Special Summon a 'Star Seraph' Monster from my hand." Dumon stated, as he took another card out of his hand, which started to glow, and said, "And I'll choose to Summon Star Seraph Sage!"
Appearing next to Scout was a floating blue object that looked almost like some sort of crown. Its head was an ornate golden object with spikes, and on the front of it was a black crest that resembled a face.
Star Seraph Sage
Attribute: LIGHT
Monster Type: Fairy/Effect
Level: 4
ATK: 1600
DEF: 1400
"And now I activate my Sage's ability! By sending one Spell Card from my hand to the Graveyard, I can Special Summon ANOTHER 'Star Seraph' Monster from my hand!" Dumon said.
"Another one?!" Marinette asked in shock.
"Yes! I discard Shard of Greed, in order to Summon Star Seraph Sword!" Dumon exclaimed, as he discarded said Spell, and played a third Monster, which also descended from the yellow portal, before it vanished. The monster was a floating entity that resembled a sword with a golden blade. On the front of its handle-shaped head it bore the same crest as Dumon's other monsters.
Star Seraph Sword
Attribute: LIGHT
Monster Type: Fairy/Effect
Level: 4
ATK: 1400
DEF: 1000
"I now Overlay all three of my Star Seraph Monsters!" Dumon exclaimed, as his monsters then turned into three yellow lights, before they shot up into a galaxy-like portal that appeared above him. "The glorious halo manifested in the heavens above, come to me, so you can unleash your holy lightning and smite the unworthy!" Dumon chanted, as the portal exploded, leaving a yellow mark on the ground that looked like the number 102. "I Xyz Summon, Number 102: Star Seraph Sentry!"
Out of where the portal descended was a golden spinning top, before it glowed and transformed into a giant golden archer with golden wings, the same yellow 102 glistening on the archer's right wing, along with 3 yellow glowing orbs circling it.
Number 102: Star Seraph Sentry
Attribute: LIGHT
Monster Type: Fairy/Xyz/Effect
Rank: 4
ATK: 2500
DEF: 2000
Overlay Units: 3
Back with Cat Noir, everyone stared at the monitor, impressed but horrified by the beast's size.
"Now I will activate Star Seraph Sentry's ability! By using one Overlay Unit, I can target one monster you control, then cut its Attack Points in half and negate its effects!" Dumon exclaimed, as his Number materialized an arrow of light out of one of its Overlay Units and fired it from its bow, striking Marinette's Xyz monster through the chest, causing it to grunt in pain.
Number 102: Star Seraph Sentry
Overlay Units: 3 - 1 = 2
Madolche Queen Tiaramisu
ATK: 2700/2 = 1350
"I Set one card face-down and end my turn." Dumon stated, as a card materialized face-down on his field.
"Alright, it's finally my turn! I draw!" Yuma exclaimed, beginning his turn. "To start, I Normal Summon will be my Goblindbergh, in Attack Mode!" Once the card materialized, a red and orange plane carrying a metal crate shot out of it, with the plane being flown by a goblin-like creature, dressed as a pilot.
Goblindbergh
Attribute: EARTH
Monster Type: Warrior/Effect
Level: 4
ATK: 1400
DEF: 0
"And Goblindbergh is going to fly in and activate his special ability! When he's Normal Summoned, I can Special Summon a Level 4 or below monster from my hand! Appear, Gagaga Magician!" Yuma declared, as Goblindbergh dropped the metal crate its plane was carrying onto the ground. Upon impact, the crate opened up, as Gagaga Magician stood ready for battle.
Gagaga Magician
Attribute: DARK
Monster Type: Spellcaster/Effect
Level: 4
ATK: 1500
DEF: 1000
"Next, I activate the Spell Card, Gagagawind! This card lets me Special Summon a 'Gagaga' Monster from my hand as a Level 4 monster! Come on out, Gagaga Girl!" Yuma explained, as another monster similar to Gagaga Magician came out, and by its appearance it was clearly female, had blonde hair, wore a black and pink outfit (similar to Gagaga Magician) and held a cell phone.
Gagaga Girl
Attribute: DARK
Monster Type: Spellcaster/Effect
Level: 4
ATK: 1000
DEF: 800
"I now Overlay Level 4 Gagaga Girl and Level 4 Goblindbergh!" Yuma yelled, as his monsters turned into a pair of lights, one orange and one purple. "With these two monsters, I build the Overlay Network!" Yuma declared, before both lights shot into a galaxy-like portal in front of him. "Messenger of Light, my battle starts here! I entrust my wishes upon your white wings!" Yuma chanted, as the portal then exploded, leaving a red mark that resembled the number 39 on the ground. "I Xyz Summon, Number 39: Utopia!" From where the portal was ascended Utopia, in his sealed form, before unfolding himself, emerging into his true form, brandishing a pair of giant swords.
Number 39: Utopia
Attribute: LIGHT
Monster Type: Warrior/Xyz/Effect
Rank: 4
ATK: 2500
DEF: 2000
Overlay Units: 2
"It's him! The armored warrior from before!" Prince Ali said in astonishment. "Now Yuma is for sure to win!"
"Please, as if he and Dupain-Cheng can pull this off." Chloe denied. "Both of those 'Number' thingies have 2500 Attack Points. If they battle, it would just end up in a draw." Chloe pointed out.
"I activate Gagaga Girl's special ability!" Yuma's voice said, pulling everyone's attention back to the duel. "When she's used for an Xyz Summon, I can target one Special Summoned Monster on your side of the field and reduce its Attack Points to zero!"
"What?!" Chloe and Prince Ali exclaimed in disbelief, while Cat Noir just grinned.
"Go, Cell Phone Subtraction!" Yuma exclaimed, as Gagaga Girl appeared as a spirit in one of Utopia's Overlay Unit's and clicked a few buttons on her phone, before holding it out towards Dumon's Monster. The phone then shot out a purple light, which enveloped the Over-Hundred Number.
Number 102: Star Seraph Sentry
ATK: 2500 - 2500 = 0
"NO!" Dumon exclaimed.
"Yes! Now, I play the Spell Card Wonder Wand! By playing it on a Spellcaster-Type monster, I can give that monster 500 extra Attack Points! And I choose to play it on Gagaga Magician!"
After the card was played, the magic-using monster was given a long staff-like wand with a large, green jewel on the top. Gagaga Magician then swung the staff in front of himself, ready to display its power.
Gagaga Magician
ATK: 1500 + 500 = 2000
"Now go, Utopia, attack Star Seraph Sentry, with Rising Sun Slash!" Yuma ordered, as the warrior pulled out his sword and leapt towards his opponent.
"I activate Star Seraph Sentry's effect!" Dumon interrupted, catching his opponents off guard. "By removing all of my Number's Overlay Units, not only is it safe from destruction, but all the Damage I take from this battle is cut in half!" As soon as Utopia was about to strike down Star Seraph Sentry, its Overlay Units intercepted the attack, causing them to be destroyed instead.
Dumon: LP: 4000 - (2500/2 = 1250) = 2750
"Alright then, Gagaga Magician! Attack Princess Fragrance directly!" Yuma ordered, just as the monster then jumped forward and fired a blast of magic from his new wand.
"If you actually think that I'm going to allow you to beat us that easily, you had better think again! I activate the Trap Card, Xyz Reborn!" Princess Fragrance declared, as her facedown card revealed itself. "This lets me bring back an Xyz Monster from my Graveyard! Rhapsody, return to the field!" The Princess explained, as her Number emerged from a purple portal, which blocked the attack from Gagaga Magician's magic. "Not only that, but this Trap Card becomes an Overlay Unit for Rhapsody." The princess added, as her card turned into a purple orb, and began circling around the armored monster.
Number 80: Rhapsody in Berserk
Attribute: DARK
Monster Type: Fiend/Xzy/Effect
Rank: 4
ATK: 0
DEF: 1200
Overlay Units: 1
"I'll Set two cards face-down, and end my turn." Yuma stated, as two cards materialized onto his side of the field.
"I thought as much." Princess Fragrance replied. "Now it's my turn... I draw!" The Princess then placed her drawn card into her hand before laughing.
"What's so funny?" Marinette asked, glaring at Princess Fragrance in suspicion.
"Oh nothing. It's just that I drew the card that will end this Duel!" Princess Fragrance smirked, before revealing the card that caused Yuma and Astral to gasp in disbelief.
"It's Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force!" Yuma exclaimed, recognizing the card, while Marinette's eyes widened from what her friend just said.
"That's right!" Princess Fragrance yelled. "And now, I will-"
"I play my Trap Card! Lightforce Sword!" Marinette suddenly interrupted, her face-down card flipped face-up, a sword shooting out of it. "This card picks one random card from your hand and banishes it face-down until your 4th Standby Phase! And since you only have one card in your hand, there's only one card it can pick!"
"No! My Barian's Force!" Princess Fragrance exclaimed in panic, as Marinette's sword then darted downward and stabbed the Barian Card, throwing it to the side.
"Sorry, your Highness, but it looks like you're gonna have to wait a while before you get to use your trump card." Marinette smirked.
"Grrrr…!" The possessed Rose growled, before saying in anger, "I end my turn!"
"Phew. Talk about dodging a bullet there." Cat Noir sighed in relief.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Prince Ali asked the feline-themed hero in confusion.
"From what I know, Rank-Up-Magic Barian's is a very dangerous card." Cat Noir explained. "It has the power to evolve an Xyz Monster into a Chaos Xyz Monster, one with 1 Rank higher."
"Okay, that sounds bad." Chloe admitted.
"And it doesn't stop there. After the Chaos Xyz Monster is summoned, the user is allowed to target an opponent's Xyz Monster, and steal one of its Overlay Units." Cat Noir added, shocking the Prince and blonde.
"But didn't you say that Xyz Monsters need their Overlay Units to activate their abilities?" Prince Ali asked, realizing how powerful the Barian Card can be.
"Yeah. Let's just hope they end this Duel before that sword's effect wears off." Cat Noir said, as they all turned back to the monitor, while Miss Khan returned to the vehicle.
"It's my move! I draw!" Marinette exclaimed, drawing her next card.
"Before you play anything else, I play my own Trap Card, Wakobu!" Dumon exclaimed, revealing his face-down card. "This Trap Card protects my monsters from destruction and makes all of the battle damage I take this turn become zero! Which means my Life Points won't be going down!"
'Dang it, and with Princess Fragrance's Number in Defense Mode, I can't damage her either. Looks like I'm gonna have to play it safe for now.' Sighing in defeat, she said, "I switch my Queen to Defense Mode, then Set one card face-down. I end my turn."
"What a waste of a turn, human. You only delay the inevitable." Dumon said, as he drew his card. Chuckling a little, he then declared, "I play the card I just drew, Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force!"
"No!" Astral exclaimed, as Yuma and Marinette gasped in horror.
"This card lets me evolve my Number into a Chaos Xyz Monster!" Dumon explained, as he inserted the card into his Duel Disk. "I rebuild the Overlay Network with Number 102: Star Seraph Sentry!" Dumon's Number then turned into a pink light, before it entered a black portal above him. "Manifestation of holy light, endow thyself with Barian's chaos and quell your opposition once and for all! Unleash the full wrath of the heavens! Go, Chaos Xyz Evolution!" The portal then exploded with Dark energy, as the yellow 102 symbol on the ground grew darker and gave off an evil aura. "I Xyz Summon, Chaos Number 102: Archfiend Seraph!"
Descending from where the black portal was a humanoid figure clad in blue-gray armor that made him resemble a demonic knight. In his hands he carried a long silver spear, and on its back were two large wings made of armor. Glowing towards the end of his right wing in yellow was the number 102. Appearing on the ground near the demon knight's feet was a red diamond-shaped crystal with gold plates on it.
Number C102: Archfiend Seraph
Attribute: LIGHT
Monster Type: Fairy/Xyz/Effect
Rank: 5
ATK: 2900
DEF: 2400
Chaos Overlay Units: 1
"What...what is that thing...?" Chloe asked, sweating a little upon seeing the scary-looking monster that was just Summoned.
"I don't know..." Cat Noir replied, as he, Prince Ali and Miss Khan stared at the monitor with wide eyes. "But I don't think it came to say hello."
"Now the other effect of Barian's Force activates, letting me steal an Overlay Unit from an Xyz Monster you control, and I choose Madolche Queen Tiaramisu! Go, Chaos Drain!" Dumon exclaimed, as the crystal began to surge with pink electricity, and shock Marinette's monster. Madolche Queen Tiaramisu then screamed in pain, as she was enveloped in a pink aura, while her remaining Overlay Unit flew towards the Chaos Number.
Madolche Queen Tiaramisu
Overlay Units: 1 - 1 = 0
"Tiaramisu!" Marinette called out to her monster, as the electricity stopped, the aura vanishing while the yellow orb then turned into another red crystal, which then stood by the original. "Are you okay?" The queen panted in exhaustion, but then nodded to her owner.
Number C102: Archfiend Seraph
Chaos Overlay Units: 1 + 1 = 2
"This is the end of the line for the three of you!" Dumon exclaimed, confidence in his voice, which made Yuma, Astral and Marinette a little nervous.
Meanwhile, back at Master Fu's Massage Shop, Tikki was shivering, laying next on the table with a Kwami sized blanket over her. "Marinette…" She weakly said in her sleep, feeling something bad was happening.
