Chapter 7: The bond of Brother and sister.
The sun was seating for the day for Heartland city. In Heartland city's middle school, Yuma and Bronk were dueling each other with Tori, Caswell, Astral, Enna and Rio watching from the side, watching as the two best friends have a friendly duel.
Everyone was wearing their school outfits, with Yuma and Bronk having their duel disks activated and Duel-Gazers on as well. So far, the duel has been going very well. Yuma had Gagaga Magician on his field, two cards in his hand, while Bronk has no cards on his field and two cards in his hand.
Yuma life points: 2000/ Number of cards in hand: 2/ Cards on field: Gagaga Magician (ATK Points: 1500)
Bronk life points: 1500/ Number of cards in hand: two.
"Ya ready, Yuma!'' Bronk called out as he drew his card from his deck, before instantly playing it. "I summon UFO Turtle!'' Bronk called out as a spinning shell appeared, smashing through a part of school, before stopping with a green turtle coming out of its shell.
UFO Turtle ATK Points: 1400/ Level: four.
"I'll end my turn with one face down card!'' Bronk said as a face down card appeared on his field, ending his turn.
Yuma life points: 2000/ Number of cards in hand: two.
"I draw!'' Yuma called out as he drew his card in a dramatic way. "By lowering his ATK Points by 500, I can summon out Dododo Warrior!'' Yuma called out, holding a card out with his right hand's index and middle fingers, which a red armored warrior smashed past the ground, standing in front of Yuma with Gagaga Magician.
Dododo Warrior ATK Points: 2300 – 500 = 1800/ Level: six.
"Now I activate Gagaga Magician's special ability! Once per turn, I can change his level to any level between 1 and 8 as I want, so how about changing to level 6!'' Yuma explained his magician's special ability, which Gagaga Magician's belt shined as his level changed.
Gagaga Magician Level: 4 + 2 = 6.
"Now with the level 6 Gagaga Magician and Dododo Warrior, I create the overlay network!'' Yuma called out with a smirk as he held his right hand up as his two monsters turned into different lights, both representing their attributes that descended into the air.
Appearing in front of Yuma was a red Xyz portal with the two lights going inside the portal. "I xyz summon, Gauntlet Launcher!'' Yuma called out as his red armored warrior raised up from the xyz portal with two brown overlay units around him.
Gauntlet Launcher ATK Points: 2400/ Rank: six/ Overlay units: two.
"I reveal the quick-play spell, Half Shut!'' Bronk called out as his face down card revealed itself. "This spell card cuts your monster's ATK Points in half!'' Bronk explained his spell card's effect as a beam shoot out of Half Shut's card towards Gauntlet Launcher, covering him in a white aura.
Gauntlet Launcher ATK Points: 2400 – 1200 = 1200.
"In case you've forgotten Bronk, by using an overlay unit, Gauntlet Launcher can destroy your monster!'' Yuma called out as Gauntlet Launcher absorbed an overlay unit into his gauntlet, before unleashing a rocket punch that destroyed UFO Turtle.
"Even if UFO Turtle is destroyed, I'll still survive this turn!'' Bronk called out to Yuma, confident that he will survive this turn. "Think again, because I play the Blustering Winds!'' Yuma called out with a smirk on his face, holding the spell card out with his right hand, making Bronk widen his eyes in fear. "This spell increases Gauntlet Launcher's ATK Points by 1000!'' Yuma explained his spell's effect as a tornado appeared around Gauntlet Launcher, increasing his ATK Points.
Gauntlet Launcher ATK Points: 1200 + 1000 = 2200.
"Oh oh!'' Bronk called out in concern at now seeing Gauntlet Launcher powerful enough to end this duel. "Go Gauntlet Launcher, attack Bronk directly!'' Yuma called out with a smirk on his face as Gauntlet Launcher unleashed another rocket punch, which exploded in front of Bronk sending him to the ground on his back.
Bronk life points: 1500 – 2200 = 0000.
A screen appeared, showing that Yuma was the winner as the AR vision deactivated, with Gauntlet Launcher disappearing. "That's game''. Yuma said to Bronk, doing Jaden's wining pose with a smile, which Tori and Rio giggled at as everyone took their Duel-Gazers off. "Yuma's winning streak is increasing by the day''. Caswell stated, thinking back at how Yuma has been wining duels left and right.
Yuma and Bronk walked up to each other and did a fist pump with each other. "Man Yuma that was some Duel. I gotta up my deck to not get left behind''. Bronk said with a smile on his face, impressed that his best friend has finally defeated him in a duel. "Thanks Bronk, if you ever want another duel, just call''. Yuma replied to his best friend with a smile on his face, accepting Bronk's challenge anytime.
"You've really gotten better at dueling, Yuma. Guess Rio's teachings are better than I thought''. Tori exclaimed as she, Rio and Caswell walked up to Bronk and Yuma, smiling in happiness that Yuma has gotten better.
"I can't take all the credit for Yuma's skills. He had the potential to be an incredible duelists even before I met him, I just helped him realized his potential''. Rio said to Tori with a smile, being honest that she didn't really help that much and Yuma could have still ended up as a great duelist eve if he hadn't had met her.
"Even if that was true, I'm glad that you're here with us Rio''. Yuma told Rio that he was glad she was here, making her blush a little at his words. "We're all glad you're here, Rio''. Tori said in agreement to what Yuma said, which Bronk and Caswell nodded with a smile. Rio looked at her friends with a happy smile, glad that she had special friends.
Everyone than heard a motorcycle's engine nearby, making Rio sigh. "Well my ride's here, see ya tomorrow''. Rio said as she waved her friends goodbye as she picked up her bag and ran to where she heard the motorcycle's engine. "Bye Rio!'' Tori called out as she waved Rio goodbye with a smile, with the others waving goodbye.
Rio stopped running in front of her brother, Shark, who was leaning against his motorcycle with his arms crossed. "Good, you didn't keep me waiting''. Shark exclaimed, pleased that he didn't have to wait for Rio. "Well I'm still happy that your back home with me, Reginald''. Rio replied to her older brother, still feeling happy that Shark was back home with her.
"Yeah well, save the happy comments when we're home''. Shark told his sister as he tossed her a helmet, which she put on as she sat behind Shark on his motorcycle. Shark started up his motorcycle and took off, heading for his home with Rio. "Hey Reginald, can I ask you something''. Rio asked her brother if she could ask him something that has been bothering her for a while now.
"Sure, what is it''. Shark replied to his sister, wanting to know what she wanted to ask him. "How…did you get Nightmare Shark''. Rio asked Shark on how he got his new number card, since before his duel with Yuma, Shark stopped Dueling. Shark was silent for a few seconds, before he spoke.
"Some…girl that said she was an old friend gave it to me''. Shark told Rio on how he got Nightmare Shark, making the Ice Queen Duelist look confused. "What do you mean? I'm pretty sure you'd remember anyone that claims to be a friend''. Rio said in confusion, wondering who this girl that gave Shark his Number card.
"That's the thing, she didn't look familiar. She had long purple dark hair, pink hair at the top of her head, green eyes and…some kind of different outfit than what usual girls wear''. Shark explained the girl's appearance as best he could with what he remembered of her. "What do you mean different outfit''. Rio asked in confusion at Shark's words.
"I can't really explain it. She just said that she wants things to go back to how things used to be with you, me and her, before she gave me two number cards''. Shark explained to Rio about the girl's reasons for giving him two number cards. "Hold on a second, you have another Number card''. Rio asked in surprise to hear that Shark has a second number card.
"Yeah, but it doesn't have a form yet''. Shark replied to Rio as he stopped at a barking spot in the park, before he put his right hand in his jacket and brought out a card. Rio looked at the card that her brother was holding, but to her surprise, the card was blank.
"It's blank''. Rio called out in surprise at seeing that the card was blank. "She said that this Number card will take shape when the time is right. So for now, I only got one Number card''. Shark told his sister as he placed the card back into his jacket, before he took off again towards their house, with Rio looking confused as she thought about the woman who gave Shark his number card.
(The next day)
The next day, Rio was walking down the street to school with her school bag on her back. Rio had insisted that she walked to school today to her brother since she wanted to talk with Yuma about something today, which Shark allowed, even though he looked annoyed that Rio wanted to hang out with Yuma.
Speak of the devil, Rio saw Yuma walking up ahead of her, heading towards school like her. "Yuma, wait up!'' Rio called out to Yuma, getting Yuma's attention as he looked over his left shoulder to see Rio walking up to him. "Rio, morning''. Yuma greeted Rio with a smile as he let Rio catch up with him, which the two started walking to school together.
"How's things like, having Shark back at home''. Yuma asked Rio on how things are with her brother back home. "It's great. The first thing he did was check out his room, which is stickily forbidden for me to enter''. Rio started to explain how it was having Shark back home with her.
"Talk about personal privacy''. Yuma said to himself with a sweet drop at how Shark banned his room to Rio. "I know right, next we started talking to each other about what we've been doing. He told me that ever since your first duel with him, he hasn't dueled since''. Rio continued to explain about what has happened with her brother back home with her.
"Oh yeah about that, his changed his mind right''. Yuma asked Rio if Shark has decided to keep Dueling. "Don't worry, I talked some sense into him and now, his back to dueling like how he used to''. Rio eased Yuma's worries by telling him that Shark is back to dueling again, making him sigh in relief at what he heard.
"I told him all about our training sessions and how I got you some new clothes, which he surprisingly kept calm about''. Rio continued to tell Yuma about what she told Shark. "Surprisingly?''. Yuma questioned in confusion at Rio's words, making her giggle a bit. "Every time I hang out with a guy, he gets protective and scares them away. He doesn't even let me buy a gift for a friend that's a boy''. Rio explained to Yuma on what she meant, making him sweet drop again.
"Okay, now I feel threatened that he'll come after me''. Yuma exclaimed, now feeling threatened that Shark will come get him and gets some payback for hanging out with Rio so much. "Oh relax, he didn't show it yesterday, but his really thankful to you for taking care of me when he was away, so your off his target list''. Rio said to Yuma with an amused smile on her face, making Yuma sigh in relief.
Yuma's Emperor Key than glows, before Astral, Enna and their child appears, floating a little above Yuma and Rio. "Rio, were you able to find out how Shark obtained Number 47: Nightmare Shark''. Astral asked Rio if she found out how Shark got Number 47: Nightmare Shark.
"To be honest, I did find out, but it's a little bit of a confusing story''. Rio replied to Astral about his question if she found out how Shark got Nightmare Shark, getting Yuma, Enna and Astral confused. "Confusing how?''. Enna asked in confusion at Rio's words about the confusing story.
"Well…he told me that some girl gave it to him''. Rio started to explain the confusion story to her friends. "A girl''. Yuma exclaimed in confusion, wondering who this girl that gave Shark Nightmare Shark is. "He said that she claims to be an old friend of ours and wanted things to return to normal between us, so that's why he gave two Number cards to Reginald''. Rio continued to explain on what she meant; getting surprised looks from everyone, that Shark actually had another Number card.
"Say what, Shark has another Number card!'' Yuma called out in surprise that Shark had another Number card the whole time, while he and Rio cross the crossroad with Enna and Astral floating next to them. "Rio, what Number was the second Number card that Shark has''. Enna asked Rio on what Number that Shark's second Number card was.
"When Reginald showed it to me, it was blank''. Rio replied to Enna, answering her question, which made everyone look at her in confusion at her words. "A blank Number card''. Astral said to himself as he held his chin with his right hand, thinking about what Rio said about the mystery Number card.
"Reginald said that the girl that gave him that Number card will show its true form at the right time. I showed Reginald all my Number cards and he was impressed with how many I have and said that he'll help us out''. Rio explained to her friends that Shark was now gonna help them with collecting the Number cards.
"Shark's help is gonna help a lot. Besides, I want to have another Duel with him soon''. Yuma exclaimed with a smile, glad to hear that Shark was helping them now with the Number cards. "One more thing, Shark told me that the girl he met said something interesting''. Rio said with a curious expression on her face, getting everyone's attention.
"What did this girl say''. Astral asked Rio on what this girl said to Shark. "Reginald said that she said that Numbers are mirrors that reflect the hearts of the people, and when he had his first number, his was covered in Darkness. But you guys saved him from that Darkness, which I haven't had the chance to thank you guys for''. Rio explained to everyone about what Shark said about the mystery girl's words, before giving Yuma and Astral a grateful smile.
"No problem, Rio. Since she seemed ok when giving Shark those Numbers, do you think she has Numbers''. Yuma replied to Rio with a smile, thinking about the mystery girl that could have Number cards of her own. "I don't know. Reginald said that they had a duel and he beat her easily on his first turn''. Rio said to Yuma, remembering that Shark told her that he dueled the mystery girl.
"Perhaps we're just overreacting. A Number holder wouldn't have lost easily as this girl did to Rio's brother''. Enna told the group as she rocked her baby gently, knowing that a number holder couldn't be easily defeated as she was.
"That's the thing, but Reginald said that he thinks she threw the match''. Rio continued to explain on what her brother told her, getting everyone to look at her in surprise again. "She threw the match, but why?''. Yuma asked in confusion at why anyone would purposely lose a duel.
"From my point of view, I think she was testing Reginald''. Rio replied to Yuma with a serious expression on her face, thinking that this girl wanted to test her brother. Yuma was about to ask something, when everyone heard the school bell, getting them to look and see that they've arrived at school.
"Let's continue this after School, okay''. Rio told Yuma that they'll continue this conversation after School, which Yuma nods in agreement as he and Rio walked to class together, with Astral and Enna returning to the Emperor's key.
However, unknown to Yuma and Rio is that someone was watching them. At the top of a rooftop next to Heartland middle school was a figure covered in a brown clock that covered their whole body. This figure was the one that was there during Rio and Tori's Duel and the figure was currently watching Yuma and Rio, before she turned around and walked away.
(Later after school)
After school was finished for the day, Yuma and Rio were currently hanging out at the library of their school, continuing their conversation that they had in the morning with Astral and Enna out again, with a few students leaving the library.
"Let's count the numbers we have''. Rio said to the group, thinking that they should check out how many Number cards they have so far, which everyone nodded in agreement. Yuma brought out Number 39: Utopia, Number 17: Leviathan Dragon, Number 34: Terror-Byte, Number 83: Galaxy Queen, Number 29: Mannequin Cat and Number 55: Gogogo Goliath.
"So far Yuma has acquired 6 Number cards so far''. Astral stated, counting the number cards that Yuma took out and placed on the desk. Rio than brought out Number 21: Frozen Lady Justice, Number 52: Diamond Crab King, Number 91: Thunder Spark Dragon, Number 49: Fortune Tune, Number 63: Shamoji Solider, Number 94: Crystalzero and Number 50: Blackship of Corn.
"And Rio has 7 Number cards''. Enna said gently as she rocked her baby to sleep, smiling lovingly at her child. "Add Reginald's two Number cards and that gives us a total of 15 Number cards''. Rio calculated her Number cards, along with Yuma and Shark's for an added total.
"There's still 84 Number cards out there''. Yuma exclaimed, reminding everyone about how many Number cards are still out there. "How much of your memories have you recovered, Astral''. Enna asked her husband on how much he remembers so far. "I've regain a few of my memories, but there's still so many left''. Astral replied to his wife, having regained some memories, but so many are still lost.
"Come on, cheer up guys. We're not gonna be at the top of our game if we feel sad about the small number cards we have. We just gotta Feel the Flow!'' Rio called out happily to cheer up her friends, which Yuma, Astral and Enna smiled at her. "You're right; nothing good will come from just seating around here. Let's go and Hi-five the sky!'' Yuma called out as he jumped off his seat and onto his feet with a smirk on his face, making Rio smile as she picked hers and Yuma's Number cards up.
"You got it''. Rio replied to her friend with a smile as she got off her seat and gave Yuma a Hi-five. "You've convinced me. Let's continue our search for the number cards''. Astral said with a smile and his arms crossed, agreeing with Yuma and Rio. "I may not be able to help much, but I'll do my best to assist you''. Enna said to the group, wanting to help in some way.
"So you're the one that got Rio into that 'Feeling the Flow' thing''. Shark's voice called out, getting Yuma and Rio to turn around to see Shark walking up to them, with Shark wearing his casual clothes. "Reginald''. Rio said in surprise that Shark came into the library. "I'm already grateful for taking care of Rio when I was gone, but corrupting her with your crazy saying is where I draw the line''. Shark said with a small glare as he walked up to Yuma with his hands in his pockets, making Yuma feel a little threatened.
"Come on Reginald, it's not that bad''. Rio tried to convince her brother that Yuma didn't corrupt her. "You sometimes say that your gonna 'Feel the flow' or 'Hi-five the sky' thanks to Yuma now at pretty much every time you're doing a test or Dueling. So yeah, it's a bad thing''. Shark explained to Rio that she, now like Yuma, uses the lines of 'Feeling the Flow' or 'Hi-five the sky' at every difficult activity.
Yuma and Rio sweet dropped since Shark was telling the truth. Rio doesn't really say 'Feeling the flow' or 'Hi-five the sky' as much as Yuma, but still says it in class or during Duel Period when she's Dueling. "Ahahaha, his got us there''. Rio nervously laughed with her eyes closed, knowing that it was useless to lie to her brother since he can always tell when she's lying.
"I'll let this one go if you don't corrupt her any more, got it!'' Shark said to Yuma with a glare, making him sweet a little in fear. "Yes sir''. Yuma said nervously in fear of what Shark would do to him. "Come on Yuma, Reginald isn't that scary. How scary can someone who sleeps with a nightlight be''. Rio said with a sneaky smile on her face.
Shark froze with his hair shadowing his eyes, while Yuma and Enna chuckled, while Astral looked confused at what Rio said. "How Dare You!'' Shark snapped at his sister for revealing his secret of sleeping with a night light, making Rio start laughing as she ran out of the library.
"Get back here, Rio!'' Shark snapped as he chased after his sister, who was laughing as she ran. Yuma, Enna and Astral chuckled as they walked after the two siblings. Soon they reached outside, with Shark chasing Rio in circling. "I'll make you pay for having such a big mouth!'' Shark snapped as he continues to chase after his sister.
"It's not my fault that you're afraid of the dark. Maybe you should change your name to "Little scaredy Shark''. Rio continued to taunt with a complete amused face, giggling none stop as steam blew out of Shark's eyes as he yelled out in rage as the chase continued.
"Wow, Shark's a different person when Rio's around''. Yuma said in a surprised tone as he watched Shark chase after Rio. "I think we're just seeing the real 'Reginald Kastle' for the first time''. Enna said with a smile as she continued to watch the siblings have fun.
"Enna could be correct. Sometimes a person could hide their true selves. Shark hide his real personality to the public eyes, but with his sister, he can show his true self without fear''. Astral explained with a smile as he continued to watch Shark chase after Rio. "You might be right''. Yuma said in agreement, to what Astral said, watching Rio having fun with Shark.
"Shark, we've got trouble!'' A familiar voice called out, getting everyone's attention as the group of friends looked to see Weasel running up to them. "Weasel! What do you want, I left the pack and I'm not going back''. Shark told Weasel that he wasn't returning to the thug gang, with Weasel stopping in front of him, taking deep breaths.
"I'm not here for that, Shark. The bosses are planning to steal that rare deck in the museum and put the blame on you''. Weasel told Shark that he didn't came here to convince him to come back to the 'pack', but came to warn him that Scorch and Chill are planning to steel the rare deck and put the blame on Shark, making everyone widen their eyes in shock.
"Those two!'' Shark growled to himself, now wanting to tear Scorch and Chill apart. "They've been getting crazier by the day ever since they got those two weird cards''. Weasel told Shark that Scorch and Chill had two weird cards that are making them act this way, getting Yuma, Shark and Rio's attention.
'Is this the world of a Number card?' Rio thought to her as she thought about it since Number cards make people go crazy. "Those two, I'll take care of them''. Shark growled to himself as he starts walking to his Motorcycle. "I'll come with you''. Rio told her brother that she's coming with him, chasing after him.
"Rio, take this!'' Yuma called out as he threw a card towards Rio, which she turned around and caught it with her left hand's index and middle fingers. Rio looked at the card that Yuma threw to her, before her eyes widened in shock. Rio looked back at Yuma, who gave her the Thumbs up, making her smile before she went after her brother, leaving Yuma with Weasel.
(Later at nighttime)
The night was cold as the moon shined down on Heartland. In front of Heartland Museum was Scorch and Chills, who arrived on their own bikes. "Man, this is easy''. Scorch said with a smirk on his face as he got off his Bike. "Yeah, plus even if we fail, Shark's the one that's gonna take the blame''. Chills said in agreement to what Scorch said, getting off his bike as well.
"OH YEAH!'' Shark's voice called out, before his Motorcycle appeared, jumping over the fence and landing a few feet away from Scorch and Chills. Scorch and Chills looked to see both Shark and Rio riding Shark's bike with Rio in the passenger seat, only now wearing her usual outfit.
Both Kastle siblings took their helmets off and got off the bike, standing a few feet away from Scorch and Chills. "You got a lot of nerve to stand in our way, you little traitor''. Chills said in an angry tone towards Shark for getting in their way. "I was never part of your gang, I was just hanging around and now that my sister is back, I'm done with the pack''. Shark replied to Chills, telling that he was never part of the pack.
Scorch and Chills looked at Rio, who was frowning at them. "So this girl is Shark's little sister''. Scorch said in wonder as he looked at Rio up and down. "She's my type''. Chills said with an evil grin on his face. "You two have some nerve trying to steal a rare deck and then blame it on my brother''. Rio exclaimed with a small glare, refusing to let Scorch and Chills blame something on Shark.
Scorch and Chills were than covered in dark red auras with the Numbers '61' and '19' appearing on Scorch's neck and Chills' arm. "Oh really''. Scorch said in a sarcastic tone at what Rio said. "Sorry girly, but nobody tells us what to do''. Chills said with an evil smirk as he crossed his arms.
"Number cards, huh''. Shark exclaimed as he looked at the Number marks on Scorch and Chills. "Guess we'll just have to subtract them from these losers. Hey, how about a Tag Duel!'' Rio declared as she pointed at Scorch and Chills with her right hand's index finger. "You want a Duel?'' Scorch asked if that was what Rio wanted.
"And why would we waste our time dueling you two''. Chills asked on why he and Scorch should duel Rio and Shark. 'Because if you win, you can have my Number Card!'' Rio exclaimed as she held out her ace monster card, Number 21: Frozen Lady Justice's card with her right hand's index and middle fingers.
"Rio, are you crazy! Don't risk your own card for this!'' Shark told his sister not risk her own card. "Don't worry, there's no way these two can win against us''. Rio replied to her brother with a smile, confident that they'll win. "Hey, her card is just like ours, Scorch''. Chills told Scorch, taking notice of Frozen Lady Justice being like his Number card.
"I get it. So this is called a Number Card. Imagine just how strong we'll be if we had another one. All right, you got yourself a deal''. Scorch said as he brought out his own Number Card, accepting the Duel Challenge. "Alright than, let's do this!'' Rio called out with a smirk as she threw her Duel pad into the air, attaching her Duel Disk on and Duel pad on her Duel Disk.
Shark activated his own Duel Disk as well on his left arm. "We're locked and loaded!'' Shark and Rio called out at the same time as they placed their Duel-Gazers on their left eyes. Scorch and Chills activated their Duel Disks and Duel Gazers as well. "AR Vision LINK Established!'' The Computerized Voice called out as the AR Vision activated around the four Duelists. "Let's Duel!'' Rio, Shark, Scorch and Chills called out as they drew their starting hand from their decks.
Shark Life points: 4000/ Number of Cards in hand: five.
Rio life points: 4000/ Number of Cards in hand: five.
Scorch Life points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: five.
Chills life points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: Five.
"Let's kick this off! It's my move, I draw!'' Scorch called out as he drew his card from his deck, smirking at what he saw. "I place a monster face down in DEF mode!'' Scorch called out as a face down card appeared on his field in sideways.
Scorch than looked at Chills with a smirk, who returned it with his own smirk, making both Kastle siblings narrow their eyes at them. "Next I place two cards face down and end my turn!'' Scorch declared his turn over as two face down cards appeared on his field.
Rio life points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: Five.
"It's my turn now, I draw!'' Rio called out as she drew her card from her deck with her right hand's index and middle fingers. "To start off, I'm summoning a friend of mine called Blizzard Lizard!'' Rio called out as she held her right hand out, holding her card with her index and middle finger, which a small blue and white Lizard appeared on her field.
Blizzard Lizard ATK Points: 600/ Level: Three.
"Now I play the Ice Mirror spell card!'' Rio called out as she slotted a card into her Duel Disk, which the spell materialized on her field. "Now you two are gonna have double the double because this spell allows me to choose a level 3 or lower Water monster on my field and summon another one from my deck, so say hello to my second Blizzard Lizard!'' Rio explained her spell card's effect as another Blizzard Lizard appeared on her field.
Blizzard Lizard ATK Points: 600/ Level: Three.
"I'm feeling the Flow! I Overlay the two level 3 Blizzard Lizards to build the Overlay Network!'' Rio declared as she held her right hand into the air as her two Lizards turned into two blue lights that descended into the air, which a galaxy portal appeared in the sky, which the two lights went into.
"With these two monsters, I build the overlay network and Xyz summon Number 49: Fortune Tune!'' Rio called out as Fortune Tune's sealed form appeared from the galaxy portal, which the sealed egg began to hatch into Fortune Tune, who was actually a lot smaller than last time, flying onto Rio's right shoulder, with two yellow overlay units around her.
Number 49: Fortune Tune DEF Points: 900/ Rank: Three/ Overlay units: Two.
"Hahaha! That weak monster's a Number card!'' Scorch laughed out at seeing Fortune Tune. "Oh trust me; she's a lot tougher than she looks. Now I play the spell, Birds of a cold Feather!'' Rio called out as she slotted in a new spell card, which materialized on her field. The spell showed an image of Ice Beast Zerofyne, Blizzard Falcon and Aurora Wing flying together in a snow Storm.
(Birds of a cold Feather/ Type: Spell/ Effect: If you control a Winged Beast Xyz monster, you can select two Winged Beast monsters from your deck and summon them to the field in DEF Mode, but when they're removed from the field, they are removed from play)
"If I control a Winged Beast Xyz monster on my field, I can select two Winged Beast monsters in my deck and summon them to the field, so please welcome out Blizzard Falcon and Blizzard Thunderbird!'' Rio explained her spell's effect as Blizzard Falcon and Blizzard Thunderbird's cards appeared on the field, before a snowstorm came out of them, which the two blizzards monsters appeared.
Blizzard Falcon DEF Points: 1500/ Level: Four.
Blizzard Thunderbird DEF Points: 1400/ Level: Four.
"It's time to Hi-Five the Sky! With Level 4 Blizzard Falcon and Blizzard Thunderbird, I create the Overlay Network!'' Rio declared as she held up her right hand, which the two Blizzard monsters turned into two blue lights that descended into the sky.
A Galaxy portal appeared on the ground in front of Rio, which the two lights went into. "With these two monsters, I build the Overlay Network and Xyz summon Number 39: Utopia!'' Rio called out as Utopia's sealed form appeared from the galaxy portal, which turned into the warrior of hope himself with two yellow overlay units circling around him.
Number 39: Utopia ATK Points: 2500/ Rank: Four/ Overlay units: two.
Shark has been watching his sister's move with an impressed look, before he widen his eyes in surprise to see Utopia. "Hey, that's…!'' Shark called out in surprise to see Yuma's ace monster, which Rio smiled at him. "Yuma gave me Utopia before we left school, so there's no way I'm losing with Utopia. I now play the spell, Xyz Gift!'' Rio called out as she held a spell card out with her right hand's index and middle fingers, which the spell materialized onto her field.
"This spell allows me to draw two cards if there are two Xyz monsters on the field!'' Rio explained her spell card's effect as she drew two more cards from her deck, before she brought them to her face to see what she drew. "I set two cards and end my turn''. Rio declared her turn over as two face down cards appeared on her field.
Chills Life points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: five.
"It's my turn now, I draw!'' Chills called out as he drew his card from his deck. "I summon Pompadour Blizzardon!'' Chills called out as a blue Dinosaur with an ice horn appeared on his field.
Pompadour Blizzardon ATK Points: 1400/ Level: Four.
"Then I'll place two cards face and end my turn''. Chills declared his turn over as two face down cards appeared on his field.
Shark Life points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: five.
"My turn now, I draw!'' Shark called out as he drew his card from his deck. "I'll start by summoning Friler Shark!'' Shark called out as a card materialized onto her field, before a torrent of water appeared, with Friler Shark appearing out of it.
Friler Shark ATK Points: 700/ Level: Three.
"Now like my sister, I'll play Xyz Gift!'' Shark called out as he held out the same spell card that Rio used between his right hand's index and middle fingers, which the spell materialized on his field. "Just like Rio, I draw two cards!'' Shark called out as he drew two more cards from his deck.
"Now I summon out, Big Jaws! If I played a spell, I can summon this card from my hand!'' Shark explained his monster's effect as another torrent of water appeared with Big Jaws coming out.
Big Jaws ATK Points: 1800/ Level: Three.
"Now I overlay my level three Friler Shark and Big Jaws!'' Shark called out as both his monsters turned into two blue lights, which descended into the air. A red Xyz portal appeared in front of Shark, which the two lights descended into the red portal. "With these two monsters, I build the overlay Network and Xyz summon Aero Shark!'' Shark called out as Aero Shark flew out of the red portal with two blue overlay units around it.
Submersible Carrier Aero Shark ATK Points: 1900/ Rank: Three/ Overlay units: Two.
"Now I play Aero Shark's special ability! By using an overlay unit, you take 400 points of damage for each card in my hand! Since I have five, you take 2000 Points of damage!'' Shark explained his monster's effect as Aero Shark absorbed an overlay unit, before firing a torpedo at Scorch, exploding in front of him.
Scorch Life points: 4000 – 2000 = 2000.
"How do ya like that?!'' Rio called out with a smirk on her face. However, Scorch started laughing, making Rio look confused. "We were hoping you'd do that''. Scorch said with a smirk on his face, before looking at Chills, who nodded at him.
"I activate my trap, Blizzard Egg level Five!'' Chills called out as one of his face down cards revealed itself, releasing a blizzard storm. "I can activate this card when a special ability deals damage! This trap allows the damaged Duelist to summon one Level 5 monster in his hand, but if there isn't a Level 5 monster, he'll take 500 Points of Damage!'' Chills explained his trap with a smirk, making Rio and Shark narrow their eyes.
"Let's see, hahaha! I summon Baggy Pants Lavasaurus!" Scorch called out as a giant lava dinosaur appeared on his field, growling.
Baggy Pants Lavasaurus ATK Points: 2100/ Level: five.
"And now to really heat things up! I activate my trap, Flame Egg Level 5!'' Scorch called out as one of his face down cards revealed itself. "This trap card in like Chills' Blizzard Egg, only this time it's for Chills!'' Scorch gave a short explanation of his trap. "Say hi to Icebergdon!'' Chills called out as a four-legged ice Dinosaur appeared on his field.
Icebergdon DEF Points: 2100/ Level: Five.
"You thinking what I'm thinking, Rio''. Shark asked his sister if she was thinking was he was thinking. "Of course''. Rio replied to her brother without looking at him. "Now for my other Trap, Glare Level 5!'' Scorch called out as his trap card revealed itself.
"For every Level 5 monster, you take 500 points of damage!'' Scorch called out with a smirk on his face as Icebergdon and Baggy Pants Lavasaurus unleashed a red sound wave attack from their eyes towards Shark. "Not on my watch, go trap card Seven Tools of the Bandit!'' Rio called out as one of her face down cards revealed itself. "In exchange of 1000 Life Points, your trap goes bye-bye!'' Rio explained her trap's effect as a shield appeared around Shark, protecting him from the sound attack.
Rio life points: 4000 – 1000 = 3000.
"Rio, you shouldn't have done that'' Shark told his sister that his shouldn't have done that, his eyes narrowed at her. "I'm not a little girl anymore, Reginald. I duel how I wish and if I wish to take a blow for you, that's my choice''. Rio replied to her brother without looking at him, focused on the Duel.
Shark grumped, before slotting in two cards. "I play two cards and end my turn''. Shark called out as two face down cards appeared on his field.
Scorch Life points: 2000/ Number of cards in hand: two.
"My turn now, I draw!'' Scorch called out as he drew his card from his deck with a smirk. "I summon Flamesaurus!'' Scorch called out as his sideways card revealed itself, revealing another four-legged dinosaur monster.
Flamesaurus ATK Points: 1800/ Level: Four.
Rio and Shark than heard something, getting them to look left to see Yuma in a landing position, which shows that he jumped over the fence, with Astral and Enna floating next to him, with Enna holding hers and Astral's son. "Rio, Shark, you guys okay!'' Yuma called out in concern for his friends as Enna floated next to Rio, who smiled at her.
"We're fine''. Shark replied to Yuma, before turning his focus back to the duel. "We've got this, no problem''. Rio told Yuma with a smile, before she turned her focus back to the duel.
"When Flamesaurus is flipped face up, his level increases by 1!'' Scorch explained his monster's effect with a smirk as Flamesaurus powered up.
Flamesaurus ATK Points: 1800/ Level: Four plus one equals Five.
"Well great''. Rio said to herself, ready for what's coming. "I overlay my level 5 Flamesaurus and Baggy Pants Lavasaurus!'' Scorch declared as his two monsters turned into two red lights, which descended into the sky. A galaxy portal appeared on the ground, which the two lights went into.
"With these two monsters, I build the overlay network and Xyz summon Number 61: Volcasaurus!'' Scorch called out as held the card with his right hand as the sealed form of his Number appeared from the portal, before the sealed form transformed into a giant red lava Dinosaur with the number '61' on it with two red overlay units circling around it.
Number 61: Volcasaurus ATK Points: 2500/ Rank: six/ Overlay units: two.
"Well there's one Number card''. Rio exclaimed, looking up at Volcasaurus. "Not to mention pretty big''. Yuma commented, noticing how big Volcasaurus is. "Yeah well, the bigger they are, the harder they fall''. Shark exclaimed with narrowed eyes at Volcasaurus.
"Oh yeah, shut them up Scorch''. Chills told Scorch to shut them up. "Gladly, and once this is over, we'll be taking that girl with us. I activate Volcasaurus' special ability! By using an Overlay unit, one of your monsters is destroyed and you take damage equal to their ATK Points! Say bye-bye to Arrow Shark and hello to a world of hurt'' Scorch explained his Number's special ability as Volcasaurus eat one of its overlay units, before unleashing a lava blast that destroyed Arrow Shark and blew Shark away.
Shark Life points: 4000 – 1900 = 2100.
"Reginald! /Shark!'' Rio and Yuma called out in concern as Shark landed on his back. "Brace yourself Rio, because I don't think his done yet''. Enna told Rio to brace herself, getting Rio to pay attention to the Duel.
"Your next girly, I use another overlay unit to destroy Utopia!'' Scorch called out with a smirk as Volcasaurus eat another overlay unit and unleashed another Lava blast. "I don't think so, I play the trap, Number Wall!'' Rio called out as her face down card revealed itself, with a barrier forming around Utopia and blocking the blast.
"This trap keeps Number monsters on my field from being destroyed by card effects!'' Rio explained her trap's effect, with the barrier disappearing around Utopia. "Oh well, I can still take out Shark!'' Scorch called out as Volcasaurus unleashed a Lava breath attack at Shark, who stood back up on his feet. "Think again, I use Utopia's special ability!'' Rio called out as Utopia absorbed an overlay unit.
"By using one overlay unit, your attack is negated!'' Rio explained Utopia's special ability as Utopia used his Light Wing shield to protect Shark from the Lava breath attack. "I would have been fine without you''. Shark told Rio that he would have been fine without her assistance.
"Sure you would''. Rio replied with her eyes closed at how her brother didn't thank her for the save. "Enjoy your last conversation while you can''. Chills said darkly with a smirk on his face. "By the end of this night, we'll have another Number and we'll be taking your sister with us. I end my turn with two face downs!'' Scorch said with an evil grin on his face as two face down cards appeared on his field.
Rio life points: 3000/ Number of cards in hand: Two.
"Nobody touches my Frozen Lady Justice, but me! I Draw!'' Rio called out as she drew her card from her deck with her right hand's index and middle fingers, with Fortune Tune starting to let out a peaceful cry. "Doing my Standby phase, Fortune Tune gives me 500 Extra life points''. Rio explained her Number card's effect as she glow a yellow aura.
Rio life points: 3000 + 500 = 3500.
"Rio, use Xyz Treasure''. Enna told Rio to use the card that she drew, getting a nod from Rio. "I play the Xyz Treasure spell card!'' Rio called out as she held the spell card with her right hand's index and middle finger, which materialized onto her field. "This spell lets me draw for every Xyz monster on the field with the total being 3, so I draw three new cards!'' Rio explained her spell's effect as she drew the top three cards of her deck.
"Now I summon Aurora Wing!'' Rio called out as a card materialized on her field, before a blizzard storm appeared and Aurora Wing appeared.
Aurora Wing ATK Points: 1200/ Levels: four.
"Now I play two copies of the spell, Star Changer!'' Rio called out as two copies of the spell appeared on her field. "This spell increases my Aurora Wing's Level by one and since there's two, it's level goes up by two''. Rio explained her spell card's effect as Aurora Wing's level went up.
Aurora Wing Level: 4 + 2 = 6.
"Now I play the field spell, Land of Frozen Flames!'' Rio called out as the whole field changed into a blue frozen world. "Now when a Water monster is used for an Xyz summon, it counts as two monsters''. Rio explained her field spell's effect before she held her right hand in the air.
"I overlay my level 6 Aurora Wing!'' Rio declared as her Aurora Wing split into two, before turning into two blue lights that descended into the air. A Galaxy portal appeared on the ground in front of Rio, which the blue light went into. "With Aurora Wing, I create the overlay network and Xyz summon Number 21: Frozen Lady Justice!'' Rio called out as Frozen Lady Justice's sealed form appeared from the galaxy portal.
The giant diamond than began to transform into Frozen Lady Justice, who opened her eyes before she let out a cry as she drew her sword with one blue overlay unit surrounding her.
Frozen Lady Justice ATK Points: 500/ Rank: 6/ Overlay units: 1.
'So that's the Number that healed Rio'. Shark thought to himself as he looked up at Frozen Lady Justice, who glared at Scorch and Chills. "Ha, saw that coming''. Scorch said with a smirk on his face, making Rio frown in confusion.
"I activate the Avalanche trap card!'' Chills called out as his face as his face down card revealed itself, which unleashed a blizzard storm at Frozen Lady Justice. "Since you summon an Xyz monster, that monster can't attack anymore and you take 500 Life points every time it activates its special ability''. Chills explained his trap's effect with a smirk on his face as Frozen Lady Justice was covered in ice with her shaking.
"My Frozen Lady Justice!'' Rio called out in concern as she looked up at her ace monster in concern. "My Lady Justice gains 1000 ATK Points for ever overlay unit she has''. Rio explained her xyz monster's effect as Frozen Lady Justice was covered in a blue aura.
Frozen Lady Justice ATK Points: 500 + 1000 = 1500.
"Utopia, attack Pompadour Blizzardon!'' Rio called out as Utopia threw one of his swords into the air, before catching it, slicing and dicing Chills' Pompadour Blizzardon in half, destroying the Dinosaur. (2500 – 1400 = 1100)
Chills Life points: 4000 – 1100 = 2900.
"I end my turn''. Rio declared her turn over as Utopia returned to her field with Fortune Tune flying back onto her shoulder.
Chills Life points: 2900/ Number of cards in hand: Two.
"I'll make you pay for that, I draw!'' Chills called out as he drew his card from his deck. "Thanks to your field spell, my Icebergdon counts as two monsters!'' Chills exclaimed with a smirk as Icebergdon split into two, before turning into a blue light that descended into the air. A Galaxy portal appeared in front of Chills, which the blue light went into.
"I Xyz summon Number 19: Freezerdon!'' Scorch called out as the sealed form of Freezerdon appeared, before transforming into Freezerdon with one overlay unit circling around it.
Number 19: Freezerdon ATK Points: 2000/ Rank: five/ Overlay units: one.
"I kinda like that Number''. Rio exclaimed as she looked at Freezerdon with a smile, liking it very much. "When we win, you can have it''. Enna told Rio that she can have Freezerdon when they win.
"You like Freezerdon, why don't I show you what else it can do by playing its ability! By using an overlay unit, Freezerdon lets Volcasaurus gets its overlay units back!'' Chills explained his number monster's effect with a smirk as Freezerdon absorbed an overlay unit into its head, before unleashing an ice blizzard breath attack at the ground in front of Volcasaurus, which summoned its two red overlay units, which circled around Volcasaurus again.
Number 61: Volcasaurus overlay units: 0 + 2 = 2.
"Just our luck''. Shark growled out at seeing Volcasaurus regain its overlay units. "Now Freezerdon, attack Frozen Lady Justice!'' Chills declared as Freezerdon charged at Frozen Lady Justice. "Think again! Utopia, do your thing!'' Rio called out as Utopia absorbed his overlay unit, before blocking Freezerdon with his ring.
"I place two face down cards and end my turn!'' Chills declared his turn over as two face down cards appeared on his field.
Shark life points: 2100/ Number of cards in hand: Three.
"Hahaha! No one can up to the one-two punch of Fire and Ice!'' Scorch laughed out, thinking that Shark and Rio are gonna lose. "And what makes you think we'll lose to two losers who cheat!'' Rio snapped at Scorch, having had enough of them playing innocent. "They are!'' Yuma called out in surprise at Rio's words.
"Cheating, what a sore loser''. Chills taunted with a smirk on his face, with Scorch smirking as well as he crossed his arms. "Don't play dumb! I know a cheater when I see one! And I'm looking at two!'' Shark snapped at Chills and Scorch, pissed off at them for cheating. "A cheetah. Dose he mean a giant cat?'' Astral asked Yuma, wondering what Shark and Rio meant, making Yuma sweet drop.
"He said Cheater, not Cheetah! Cheaters are people who breaks the rules''. Yuma explained to Astral on what Shark meant, making Astral widen his eyes in surprise. "You mean…they are dishonest!'' Astral called out in surprise, now knowing what a Cheater is.
Shark slammed his left fist into his right palm. "I should have known you losers wouldn't Duel with honor! I'm guessing you two must have figured out a tag team strategy in advance. You guys must have set your duel disks to give you the cards you want in any duel, so you'll know what cards you have!'' Shark growled out in rage at Scorch and Chills for cheating.
"So that explains how you two have level five monsters when you played your traps!'' Rio said as she remembered when Chills and Scorch played their Egg trap cards. "Kazuma explained how there were people that only cared about winning, but these two make me sick''. Enna said with narrowed eyes, disgusted at how Scorch and Chills battled without honor.
"I can't believe you two have the nerve to call yourselves Duelists! You two are just a bunch of losers!'' Shark growled out in rage, his rage building up, not noticing a shin in his extra deck. "Tread lightly little 'Shark'. Cheating is not a word you should saying casually''. Chills replied with a smirk on his face.
"Meaning the pot shouldn't call the kettle black! After all, you cheated at nationals!'' Scorch called out with a smirk on his face, making Shark gasp in horror. "You talk like a champion, but a true champion wouldn't peak at his opponent's deck''. Scorch continued to talk with a smirk on his face, with Shark looking down at the ground.
"If anyone's to blame for that, it's my fault!'' Rio shouted out, getting everyone's attention. "I was in the hospital, hurt from an accident that left me in a coma. Reginald entered the nationals to win for my operation! He threw away his honor as a person and duelist not because he was afraid, but for me, his little sister and I'll always love my brother for what he did!'' Rio snapped at Scorch and Chills in rage for what they said, defending her brother.
Shark looked shocked at Rio's words, before he narrowed his eyes at Scorch and Chills. "Aww, that's cute! Shark cheated for his sister, how brotherly''. Chills taunted with a smirk on his face, not fazed at Rio's words. "Oh yeah, I'll show you something to be afraid of, I draw!'' Shark called out as he drew his card from his deck and added it to his hand.
Shark looked through the four cards in his hand, thinking of a strategy, before he took notice of the shine in his extra deck. "What the?'' Shark exclaimed as he opened his Extra deck and pulled out the shining card with his right hand. Shark's eyes widened, as the card was his blank Number card, which started transforming into its real form.
'My card…it's…' Shark thought to himself in shock, before he narrowed his eyes. "I summon out Nimble Sunfish!'' Shark called out as a card materialized on his field, before a sunfish appeared on his field.
Nimble Sunfish ATK Points: 1000/ Level: two.
"Now since I control a Water monster on my field, Silent Angler gets to come on out!'' Shark explained his monster's effect as he held a card between his right hand's index and middle fingers, which a card materialized on his field before a fish monster appeared on his field.
Silent Angler ATK Points: 800/ Level: Four.
"Now with the level 2 Nimble Sunfish, I build the overlay network!'' Shark declared as Nimble Sunfish split into two, before turning into a blue light that went into the air. A red Xyz portal appeared on the ground, which the blue light went into. "I Xyz summon, Cat Shark!'' Shark called out as a blue skin and white underbelly Cat that has shark fins and tails with yellow eyes, with one blue overlay unit circling around it.
Cat Shark ATK Points: 500/ Rank: 2/ Overlay units: Two.
"Hahaha! You expect us to be afraid of a little kitty cat!'' Scorched laughed out at the sight of Cat Shark, making Cat Shark let out cries of anger. "This little kitty has more power than any normal Xyz monster, and I'll prove it! But first, I overlay my level 4 Silent Angler!'' Shark declared as he held his right hand up as Silent Angler turned into a blue light that descended into the air.
Instead of a Galaxy portal appearing, the blue light went into the crack on the field that separated Shark and Rio to Scorch and Chills. "This is the hope we have made together! When slumbering powers of sea and earth weave, the light of new light bursts forth! Xyz Summon! Awaken, Number 37: Hope Woven Dragon Spider Shark!'' Shark called out as a light blue aura surrounded him, before a power roar was heard underground.
The ground started shaking as the crack started getting bigger, making everyone but Shark wobble a little. The ground than split open as a giant figured descended out of the crack and into the air, before crashing into the ground behind Shark.
Dust covered Shark and the mystery monster for 10 seconds, before it cleared and everyone's eyes widened in shock at the appearance of the new monster. It looked like some kind of giant white Spider, Dragon Shark or something that was easily twice the size of Nightmare Shark.
Rio, Enna, Yuma and Astral looked at the new monster in shock as Scorch and Chills looked at Hope Woven Dragon Spider Shark with widened eyes of shock. Hope Woven Dragon Spider Shark had one blue overlay unit circling around it, before it unleashed a power roar, creating a shockwave.
Number 37: Hope Woven Dragon Spider Shark ATK Points: 2600/ Rank: 4/ Overlay units: 1.
Shark looked up at his new Number monster, who looked down at him and let out a gently growl, making Shark smile, before he turned around to look back at Scorch and Chills. "I play Cat Shark's special ability! By using an overlay unit, all Rank 4 or lower monster's ATK Points are doubled!'' Shark explained his Cat Shark's special ability, making Scorch and Chills widen their eyes as Cat Shark absorbed an overlay unit, which water started circling around him and Spider Shark.
Number 37: Hope Woven Dragon Spider Shark ATK Points: 2600 X 2 = 5200.
Cat Shark ATK Points: 500 x 2 = 1000.
"5200 ATK Points!'' Chills called out in shock at Spider Shark's ATK Points. "I'm not done, I play the spell card, Twin Swords of Flashing Light – Tryce!'' Shark called out as he slotted in a spell card, which a light green aura appeared around Spider Shark. "This spell decreases Spider Shark's ATK Points by 500 and I have to discard a card''. Shark explained the effects of his spell as he discards the last card in his hand.
Number 37: Hope Woven Dragon Spider Shark ATK Points: 5200 – 500 = 4700.
"Why would he lower his monster's ATK Points''. Astral asked in wonder at why Shark would decrease his Number's ATK Points. "Now for Spider Shark, attack Volcasaurus!'' Shark declared an attack as Spider Shark looked at Volcasaurus. "Now I play Spider Shark's special ability! By using an overlay unit, all monsters you control loses 1000 ATK Points!'' Shark explained his number card's special ability, making Scorch and Chills widen their eyes in surprise.
Spider Shark ate his overlay unit, which the Dragon Spider Shark spouts threads that fall over all Volcasaurus and Freezerdon, which the two Number monsters struggled to pull off of them.
Number 61: Volcasaurus ATK Points: 2500 – 1000 = 1500.
Number 19: Freezerdon ATK Points: 2000 – 1000 = 1000.
Spider Shark began to gather energy in its mouth, preparing its attack. "I activate the trap, Compensation Exchange!'' Chills called out as his face down card revealed itself. "This trap cancels your attack, but I take damage equal to Volcasaurus' ATK Points!'' Chills explained his trap's effect as the trap unleashed a shockwave that blew Chills back a bit.
Chills Life points: 2900 – 1500 = 1400.
"Come on, why'd you have to get in the way!'' Rio complained on why Chills had to interfere. "He takes the hits and I dish them out''. Scorch explained with a smirk on his face, which Chills smirked at well. "That's too bad…because now you're gonna have to dish out the hits and take the hits''. Shark said with a smirk on his face, making everyone widen their eyes at his words.
"What!'' Chills called out in shock, before he gasped at seeing Spider Shark still gathering energy to attack. "Hey what gives? Why's your monster look like it can still attack!'' Chills demanded to know why Spider Shark looks like it is ready to attack. "Simple…my spell allows him to attack twice''. Shark explained with a smirk, making everyone widen their eyes in surprise.
"And this time, it's coming for you Chills! Go Spider Shark, Spider Tornado!'' Shark called out as he thrust out his right hand, which Spider Shark unleashed a water breath attack that took the form of a Tornado, which absorbed Freezerdon, destroying the Number monster and blowing Chills off his feet. (4700 – 1000 = 3700)
Chills life points: 1400 – 3700 = 0000.
"One down, one to go''. Rio said with a smirk on her face at seeing Shark take down Chills. "I end my turn and my monsters' ATK Points return to normal''. Shark declared his turn over as the water circling Cat Shark and Spider Shark disappeared.
Number 37: Hope Woven Dragon Spider Shark ATK Points: 4700 – 2600 = 2100.
Cat Shark ATK Points: 1000 – 500 = 500.
Scorch Life points: 2000/ Number of cards in hand: 1.
"Why you little pipsqueaks! Nobody messes with the 'Chills!'' Scorch shouted out in rage as he was covered in a red aura, before he drew his card from his deck. "I reveal the trap, Survival of the Fittest!'' Scorch called out in rage as one of his face down cards revealed itself. "This trap increases Volcasaurus' ATK Points by 1000!'' Scorch explained his trap's effect as Volcasaurus powered up.
Number 61: Volcasaurus ATK Points: 1500 + 1000 = 2500.
"Now I play the other trap, Metalmorph!'' Scorch called out as his second face down card revealed itself, which Volcasaurus was covered in metal. "This trap increases my monster's ATK Points in Half!'' Scorch explained his trap's effect as Volcasaurus powered up.
Number 61: Volcasaurus ATK Points: 2500 + 300 = 2800.
"When Volcasaurus attacks a monster, he now gains half that monster's ATK Points, so it's over for you Shark! Attack that little hairball!'' Scorch explained his trap, before declaring an attack which Volcasaurus unleashed a lava breath attack at Cat Shark, who looked frightened. "I play the trap, Zeus' Breath!'' Shark called out as one of his face down cards revealed itself.
"This card negates your monster's attack and since I control a Water attribute monster, you lose 800 Life points!'' Shark explained his trap's effect as a tidal wave appeared from the trap card, which blocked the lava breath attack.
Scorch Life points: 2000 – 800 = 1200.
"You little! I'll end my turn with one face down!'' Scorch called out in rage as a face down card appeared on his field.
Rio Life points: 3500/ Number of cards in hand: 0.
"My turn now, I draw!'' Rio called out as she drew her card from her deck with her right hand's index and middle fingers, with Fortune Tune singing another peaceful song. "And just like last time, my Life points increase by 500 points''. Rio reminded everyone that she regains life points during her turn.
Rio life points: 3500 + 500 = 4000.
Rio than looked at the card she drew, which was Zero Blade. "Rio''. Enna suddenly said, getting Rio to look at her. "Volcasaurus will gain half the ATK Points of a monster it battles with when it attacks, so you have to end this now. I'll lend you my power''. Enna told Rio that she'll give her power, before holding her right hand out to Rio, while holding her baby with her left hand.
Rio's extra deck began to glow a golden colour, getting Rio's attention. "What in the world''. Rio said in surprise as the glow took the form of a card. Rio took the card with her right hand and looked at it, before her eye widened in shock. "No way…''. Rio said in disbelief at what the card is, before she smirked.
"Thanks, Enna''. Rio thanked Enna for her aid, which she smiled back at Rio. "Of course Rio, now let him have it''. Enna encouraged Rio to use her new card. "It'll be my pleasure''. Rio replied to Enna with a smirk as she looked back at Volcasaurus. "I rebuild the Overlay Network with Frozen Lady Justice!'' Rio and Enna declared, their backs against each other with Rio holding her left hand up, while Enna held her right hand up.
Frozen Lady Justice broke free of the ice restraining her, before she held her sword in front of her with both her hands. "Is Rio really…!'' Yuma called out in surprise, thinking that he knew what Rio is doing. "She is!'' Astral replied to Yuma as he watched what happens.
"Through the power of our bonds of friendship and feeling the flow, a new hope shall appear! Go Shining Evolution!'' Rio and Enna called out as light appeared from Frozen Lady Justice, which covered Frozen Lady Justice from view. "Appear Shining Number 21: Frozen Lady Absolute Justice!'' Rio and Enna shouted out as the light disappeared to reveal Frozen Lady Justice's new form, with everyone looking in shock.
Frozen Lady Justice is now wearing a glowing priestess's outfit with crystal wings extending from her back. She is now barefooted and barehanded, an icy blue bracelet on her left hand, two icy blue ankle cuffs, a long sheer waterfall skirt with a blue embellished belt, with a matching icy blue brazier top with a cheer shrug covering her shoulders and being held together with an icy blue clasp and silver chains. She now wielded a pure white-coloured longsword with a mark on the handle and the blade being frost blue. Finally, she now had icy crystal ear-rings.
Frozen Lady Justice let out a cry as she appeared, unleashing a blizzard storm.
Numbers S21: Frozen Lady Absolute Justice
ATK: 500/DEF: 500/R: 6
Water/Aqua/Xyz/Effect
3 Level 6 Monsters
Monster Effect: Cannot be destroyed by battle except with "Numbers" monsters. You can also Xyz Summon this card by using a "Numbers 21: Frozen Lady Justice" you control as the Xyz Material. (Xyz Materials attached to that monster also become Xyz Materials on this card). Once per turn, you can detach all Xyz Materials from this card; destroy all cards your opponent controls and increase this card's ATK by an amount equal to the destroyed Monsters' ATK. During the End Phase, take damage equal to the combined ATK of those Monsters (this effect is activated even if this card leaves the field).
Everyone looked at Frozen Lady Absolute Justice in shock, while Rio smiled at her new monster, who smiled back at her. Rio turned to look back at Scorch, whose teeth were granted. "I play the trap, Mask of Weakness!'' Scorch called out as his face down card revealed itself. "This trap decreases your monster's ATK Points by 700!'' Scorch explained his trap's effect as a red aura coved Frozen Lady Absolute justice.
Shining Number 21: Frozen Lady Absolute Justice ATK Points: 500 – 700 = 0000.
"Hahaha, your monster's weaker than a fly, good luck trying to win now!'' Scorch laughed out evilly at seeing Frozen Lady Absolute Justice's ATK Points were now 0000. "Oh really, think''. Rio said with a smirk on her face, getting Scorch to stop laughing.
"I play Absolute Justice's special ability! By using all her overlay units, all your cards are destroyed!'' Rio explained her ace monster's special ability, making Scorch widen his eyes in shock as Frozen Lady Absolute Justice touched her lips with her left hand's index and middle fingers, which a glow surrounded the tips of the fingers, which she held out her left hand as a blizzard storm appeared from behind her, freezing Volcasaurus and the three trap cards, before they all shattered into pieces.
"No way!'' Scorch called out in shock at seeing all his cards destroyed. "And now she gains ATK Points equal to the destroyed monster's ATK Points, so that's 2800 ATK Points!'' Rio explained her ace's effect with a smirk as Frozen Lady Absolute Justice was surrounded in a blue aura.
Shining Number 21: Frozen Lady Absolute Justice ATK Points: 0000 + 2800 = 2800.
"2800 ATK Points!'' Scorch called out in shock at seeing the ATK Point boost. "Game set and match, attack!'' Rio called out as she pointed at Scorch with her right hand's index finger, which Frozen Lady Absolute Justice lifted her great sword, before she brought it down, unleashing an energy slash attack, which exploded in front of Scorch, sending him flying before he landed on his back next to Chills.
Scorch Life points: 1200 – 2800 = 0000.
A screen appeared showing Shark and Rio's image with the words 'Winner' on it, before the AR Vision deactivated with all Number monsters disappearing. "And now for our prize''. Rio said with a smile as she held out her right hand, which Volcasaurus and Freezerdon's card came out of Scorch and Chills' bodies, floating into Rio's open hand.
"That's another two down''. Rio said with a smile as she put Freezerdon's card in her extra deck, before taking out Utopia's card. Rio held the two Number cards with her right hand, before she walked over to Yuma, who was smiling at her, with Astral and Enna floating next to them. "Here, thanks for lending me Utopia, Yuma''. Rio thanked Yuma for letting her use his ace as she gave Yuma his ace monster back along with Volcasaurus.
"No problem, Rio''. Yuma replied to the ice queen with a warm smile, making Rio blush a little at his smile. "Well done Rio, you performed well''. Astral complemented Rio for her dueling, impressed with how she summoned three Number cards in total. "It's getting late, let's head home Rio''. Shark told his sister, already on his motorcycle.
"Coming Reginald''. Rio replied to her brother as she skipped over to him, jumping into the backseat. "I'll see you at school tomorrow, Yuma!'' Rio called out as she waved goodbye to Yuma, who waved back at her as Shark drove off.
"That just leaves us, let's go home''. Yuma told Astral and Enna before starting to walk back to his home with both Astral World beings following him with a smile. However, unknown to Yuma, Astral and Enna, at the top of the museum was the same hooded figure from this morning. The hooded figure was silent, before she spoke. "Interesting. Rio, Reginald, we'll see each other soon''. The hooded figure said to herself, before she walked away with the moon shining down on her.
I hope you all enjoyed that chapter. I really hated those two so I had them take a brutal defeat. Anyway, as I said that the next chapter will be the Zexal special Aim for Number 1 in the world. Also I'll be working on my Tales of Berseria story next and Digimon story next. And if I want to, Fairy Tail story.
