Hello everyone, sorry for the wait. I've been busy. I really don't have much to say, but a few things. See, I've got a few plans and I want your opinions. One of them is instead of joining the Barians, Rio and Kairi stay by Yuma's side, not wanting to destroy their friends and want to find a new solution. The second idea is Yuma and Rio meeting their counterparts from the show. Answer in a review. Now for questions answered.
Ratatosk the Divine Demon: And how am I gonna do that?
RisingPluto66 BKA: I'm gonna need help creating Pendulum Cards.
Omarnosian10: A few people have asked that and the answer is no. Yuma is not a Barian, just had an ancient past like Rio and Shark.
Suppes1: I'm considering letting someone else do it.
GXAL: I don't think that's a good idea.
That's all the questions answered for now. Have a good time reading the story.
Chapter 15: Robot trouble.
The moonlight shined over Heartland City, with many residents in their beds, dreaming. In a Heartland City jewellery store, red lasers were around the room as the sounds of computer screens and buttons filled the stores as two individuals typed away at the electronic keyboard, on the screen displayed a duel security system similar to the type you would find playing at a game at the arcade. And the system was being defeated by the most unlikely of culprits... two Litterbots. The two typed away as they played against the system, until eventually the opponent's Life Points dropped all the way down to 0, causing the system to shut down.
"Duel clearance achieved. All security systems disabled". The computer said as the red lasers room went from dark to bright as the lights turned on with all the jewellery on display. "Commence operation clean house". One of the Litterbots said as it entered, followed by the second Litterbot.
Soon several more Litterbots entered the store, scooping up all the valuables in the store as if it were everyday trash, before exiting the store. After finishing their duty, they all go outside and to a van waiting for them. The mastermind behind the theft was a short man, smirking.
"Good work". The thief said with a smirk as the litterbots all morphed into their smaller forms and enter the back of the van. "I'm back!" The Litterbots cried out as they made themselves comfortable. "Let's roll!" The thief exclaimed as he stepped on the accelerator.
The truck took off, bumping along the road as it did, the two litterbots that had previously dueled, were too slow to enter the van. The two looked at one another, before turning their faceplates and began chasing after the van, trying to jump in.
"You forgot us!" One called out, jumping up as it attempted to get inside the van. "You forgot us!" The second repeated, mimicking its sibling. The two Litterbots decided to forget jumping on and rushed to the front, hoping to get their owner's attention.
"Hello!?" One of the Litterbots cried out, trying to get the thief's attention. "Hello!?" The second one tried as well, but failed. "Do not leave us behind!" The first Litterbot cried out, before it and the second one took notice of a family of ducks crossing the road with the van heading straight towards them.
"Uh oh!" The two Litterbots cried out, before they jumped towards the ducks. One of the Litterbots grabbed the father, while the other got the mother and three children. The thief panicked at seeing his two Litterbots and swung the wheel, accidently slamming into the two machines and sending them down the road to the lake.
"Blast it!" The thief cursed, sticking his head out the window and staring at where he last saw the two Litterbots. Police sirens quickly got his attention, causing the thief to growl before he drove away, leaving the two Litterbots floating in the water. One of the Litterbots' move opened with the three baby ducks coming out, chipping away as the two bots floated in the water.
(The next day)
"Now accepting applicants for the World Duel Carnival! Do you have what it takes!?" A female voice exclaimed from the blimp as a screen showed the words 'World Duel Carnival' on it. Below the blimp, Yuma, his friends Tori and Bronk, and of course his girlfriend, the 'Ice Queen' Rio Kastle were walking down the streets and hanging out together.
"That test we had today was actually good". Yuma stated with his hands behind his head. "Do you really think so?" Tori asked her childhood friend in surprise as Yuma flashed her a smirk. "I feel the flow even in tests Tori". Yuma replied to Tori, making her cheeks turn a bit red. Suddenly, everyone heard chirping, getting them to look down in the middle of them to see a baby chick chipping at them.
"Oh my gosh, it's so adorable". Rio said with a smile as she knelt down and picked the baby chick and held it between her hands. "What are you doing here? Why are you not with your mother?" Rio asked the baby chick in concern. Suddenly, more chirping was heard, getting the group of friends to look to see not one, but two litterbots down next to the lake with more baby chicks around it.
"Litterbots!?" Rio said in surprise as she, Tori, Bronk and Yuma walked up to the two Litterbots. "What are they doing here, lying down on the job?" Yuma questioned as the chick in Rio's hands flew onto one of the Litterbots.
"Could they be broken?" The 13-year-old continued, staring at the unmoving Litterbots. "Why are these baby ducks here with these Litterbots?" Tori questioned as she looked at the group of baby chicks. Yuma looked at one of the bots and saw a duck's beak in the slightly open mouth. "What is that?" Yuma questioned as he forced open the bot's mouth to free whatever was inside, and it happened to be the mother duck.
The mother duck flew out of the bot's mouth as the ducklings reunited with their mother once more. "Guess that settles the mystery on where mama is". Bronk commented, smiling down at the group of ducks as Yuma went to the other Litterbot. Yuma pulled the mouth open, before he backed off as the father duck flew out.
The baby chicks and the mother duck reunited with the father of the family, with the two parents nuzzling each other.
"Now even the daddy's back. What a cute family reunion". Rio said with a happy smile on her face, watching the duck family. Yuma went back to the first Litterbot, before he sat down in front of it. "What are you doing, Yuma?" Tori asked her crush in confusion as Yuma opened the Litterbot and brought out its wires. "Seeing if I can fix this". Yuma replied to the green haired girl as the family of ducks swam away.
"Not to insult you or anything Yuma, but do you even know how to fix these things?" Bronk questioned his best friend as Yuma began connecting separated parts back together. "I may not look like it, but I'm good at this". Yuma replied to his best friend as he found a served cable.
"Hey Tori, think I can borrow a hair clip?" Yuma asked his friend as Astral and Enna appeared from the Emperor Keys. Tori was confused by Yuma's request, but handed her friend the hair clip, which he used to connect the severed circuits of the cable, causing it to give out a pink glow. Yuma smiled, before putting the cord back and stepped away.
The Litterbot pulled all its wires back inside it as it stood up from the ground. "Rebooting, Rebooting." The Litterbot immediately announced as Yuma went to the second Litterbot. "Now let's see what's up with you". Yuma said as he opened up the second Litterbot and brought out its cord.
Rio, Tori, Bronk and the first Litterbot watched Yuma work his magic on the second Litterbot. Luckily. Unlike the first one, this one wasn't as damaged as the other one and soon it was repaired. "Rebooting, rebooting". The second Litterbot announced, sounding more male than the other one.
Rio was impressed with her boyfriend fixing the two Litterbots. "I guess I learned something new about you, Yuma. Nice job". Rio praised her boyfriend as she gave him a wink, making the young man blush a bit from his Ice Queen's compliment. "Rio". Yuma said with his cheeks red, before one of the Litterbots hugged Yuma, being grateful for fixing it. The other bot went to Rio, who looked at it with a smile. "Hello, nice to meet you". Rio greeted the Litterbot, whose eyes blinked at her.
The four friends all went to Yuma's house to hang out a bit more. However, the Litterbots followed them as well. Currently at the back, the four friends were staring at the two Litterbots in front of them. "They followed us? Oh man". Yuma groaned out as he sat down.
"Oh man". The Litterbot that sounded female copied Yuma with its metal hands out. "Ahhh, it likes you". Tori told her childhood friend as Yuma stood back up. "It's not a big deal. Guys, let's train a bit. We got to keep our dueling skills sharp for the upcoming World Duel Carnival tournament". Yuma told his friends as he held up his Duel Disk.
Suddenly, the female Litterbot started blinking. "Duel, duel, duel, duel!" The Litterbot exclaimed as it released out of her system, its own customized Duel Disk and put it on her left arm.
Rio, Bronk, and Tori were surprised at seeing at this, Yuma included. "How do you have a Duel Disk? Do you want to duel us? Hmm… Do you have a deck?" Yuma asked the female Litterbot, who released cards from within its mouth into the air. Astral and Enna silently watched as the cards gathered together in the Litterbot's Duel Disk.
"Let's duel!" The Litterbot cried out as she held out her right metal hand. "Hey guys, how about I duel the Litterbot first". Bronk suggested to his friend, getting Yuma, Tori and Rio to look at him. "Alright, just don't underestimate the Litterbot. It could have great tactics". Yuma warned his best friend, who nodded to him as he brought out his Duel Disk.
A little bit later with the AR vision Link activated, Yuma, Tori, Rio and the second Litterbot watched the duel with their Duel Gazers or Duel Eye activated. So far, Bronk was getting thrashed. Bronk had no cards on his field, while the Litterbot had two monsters on her field. One was called Junk Robot Teapot Kangaroo, which looked like a mechanical teapot kangaroo and the other was called Junk Robot Camelcycle.
Bronk Life Points: 1900/ Number of cards in hand: 2.
Litterbot Life Points: 3000/ Number of cards in hand: 1/ Junk Robot Teapot Kangaroo Level: 3/ ATK Points: 800/ Junk Robot Camelcycle Level: 4/ ATK Points: 800.
"Now I activate the Spell card, Star Light, Star Bright!" The female Litterbot cried out as its face down card revealed itself. "With this card, when there are monsters on the field with the same ATK or DEF Points, I can pick one of their Levels and change the other monster's Level to be the same Level as that monster! As a result, Junk Robot Teapot Kangaroo's Level becomes that of Junk Robot Camecycle's Level, which is 4!" The female Litterbot explained as Junk Robot Teapot Kangaroo's Level increased.
Junk Robot Teapot Kangaroo Level: 3 + 1 = 4.
Bronk gasped at seeing this move, while both Yuma and Rio narrowed their eyes. "Two Level 4 monsters…" Yuma commented with his eyes narrowed, and his arms crossed. "An Xyz Summon". Rio remarked as she crossed her left leg over her right leg.
"Next I overlay Level 4 Junk Robot Teapot Kangaroo and Junk Robot Camecycle!" The Litterbot cried out as the two Machine types turned into brown lights and flew into the air. A red Xyz portal appeared between the two Duelists with the lights going into it. "And with the overlay network now created, I Xyz Summon Wind-Up Zenmaister!" The Litterbot cried out as its face flipped around.
The ground shook, before something burst out of it. It was the Xyz Monster, Wind-Up Zenmaister with two brown overlay units circling around it.
Wind-Up Zenmaister ATK Points: 1900/ Rank: 4/ Overlay units: 2.
"For each Overlay Unit, Zenmaister gains 300 ATK Points! Since it has 2 overlay units, it gains 600 ATK Points!" The Litterbot explained its Xyz Monster's effect as Zenmaister powered up.
Wind-Up Zenmaister ATK Points: 1900 + 600 = 2500.
"Zenmaister, attack Bronk directly!" The Litterbot commanded her monster as Zenmaister's right arm stretched out, before pounding Bronk, sending him to the ground on his back as his Life Points dropped.
Bronk Life Points: 1900 – 2500 = 0000.
Litterbot: Wins!
A screen appeared, showing the Litterbot's image with the words 'Win' on it, before the AR vision deactivated. "Well that was fun". Yuma commented as he, Rio and Tori got off their seats with the other Litterbot staying close to Rio.
"He sucks! He sucks!" The female Litterbot cried out, ticking Bronk off at what he said. "Say what!?" Bronk exclaimed, taking his Duel Gazer off. "Yuma, tell Bronk to calm down. All the Litterbot is doing is stating a fact". Astral told his partner, floating next to the 13-year-old, who sweat dropped at him. "I don't think that's gonna help calm Bronk down". Yuma replied to his partner, knowing that'll anger Bronk.
"Wow. Even got beat by a Litterbot". A familiar voice said, before Shark and Kari walked into the backyard with the 14-year-old having his hands in his pockets. Earlier today, Shark left school on his bike, going to pick up Kairi from Yuma's grandmother, who had taken the 5-year-old with her to the park.
"Kairi!" Rio called out in joy as she held her hands out for her daughter. "Mama!" Kairi cried out as she ran into Rio's hands, giving the Ice Queen a happy hug. "You were watching?" Yuma asked his rival, who walked up to him with a smirk. "Yup. Gotta admit, it was amusing to see Bronk get his butt handed to him by a Litterbot". Shark replied to his rival with a chuckle.
Tori walked up to the female Litterbot with a bright smile. "Way to duel, Litterbot". Tori praised the machine, who reached for her ribbon. The Litterbot unwrapped Tori's ribbon, who gasped in surprise. Everyone watched as the Litterbot tied the ribbon on her, before dancing around in joy.
"Pretty, pretty. Red ribbon makes Litterbot look pretty". The Litterbot said in joy as Tori sighed, but still smiled. "I think the Litterbot isn't a boy". Kairi commented, watching the female Litterbot, who was now trying to catch a butterfly. "So Bronk didn't loose to a guy, but to a girl!" Tori said in realization, making Bronk grow an aura of despair around him.
"I think you just hurt Bronk's pride, Tori". Rio told her best friend with a small smile, looking at the plus size boy. "Mama, why is one of the Litterbots looking at you?" Kairi asked her mother, who blinked at the 5-year-old, before she looked and indeed saw the second Litterbot staring at her.
"Hello. My name is Rio, nice to meet you". Rio greeted the other Litterbot with a smile, whose eyes blinked at her. "Rio…" The Litterbot repeated, looking at the Ice Queen, before his natural face flipped into a happy face.
"You know what, I have an idea! I think we should give our new Litterbot friends names". Tori told her childhood friend, before she watched the female Litterbot. "Now, what should we name them?" Tori said to herself, looking up in wonder. "Sounds like a pain". Shark remarked with his arms crossed, making Tori glare at him.
"Be nice!" Tori snapped at the older Kastle sibling, who paid no attention to her. Yuma looked down in thought with his right hand on his chin, before he looked up. "How about Lillybot?" Yuma suggested to the group, getting Tori and Rio's attention. "Lillybot! Lillybot! Lillybot! Lillybot!" The now named Lillybot cried out in joy as she went up to Yuma and grabbed his hands with her metal hands, giving the 13-year-old her smiling face.
Lillybot circled around Yuma, who looked a little surprised. "Well done. I think you just named her, Yuma". Tori praised her childhood friend with a smile as Lillybot stopped, before she started jumping up in joy. "I love Yuma! Yuma! Yuma! Yuma!" Lillybot exclaimed in happiness as she continued to jump in joy.
"Aren't you feeling disturbed?" Enna asked Rio, who just gave her a smile with her eyes closed. "Don't worry. Lillybot is just happy Yuma named her, besides she's a robot. I got nothing to worry about". Rio replied to her partner, before she turned to look at the male Litterbot. "Now, what to call you?" Rio said as she closed her eyes and touched her forehead with her right hand's index finger.
Suddenly, Rio snapped her fingers with a smile. "Ahh, I know! I'll call you Alpha!" Rio called out with a smile, making the boy Litterbot smile at her. "Alpha! Alpha! Alpha!" The Litterbot called out in joy as he drew metal hands and held the Ice Queen's hands, who smiled. "Is Alpha gonna stay with us?" Kairi asked her mother, who nodded to the black haired girl.
"Yup. Your dad gets Lillybot, while Alpha gets to come home with us". Rio told her daughter with a happy smile, immediately getting Shark's attention. "Hold up, I'm not gonna agree to this!" Shark exclaimed, making Rio glare at him with a 'not so happy' look on her face. "Too bad Reginald. Alpha is staying with us, even if you don't like it". Rio told her brother, before she looked and smiled at Alpha, missing her brother let out a sigh.
(Later)
A little bit latter, Yuma, Rio, Kairi, Bronk and Tori spent the whole day with their new Litterbot friends, while Shark tagged along to keep an eye on his sister and rival. They did activities together, like playing basketball, one play in which Lillybot dribbled and made a nice dunk; Alpha also made a great 3 pointer as well.
Next, they all skateboarded together with Lillybot and Alpha being taught respectively by Yuma and Rio, although the Ice Queen didn't take part in the ride. After that, they had a friendly, practice duels. Lillybot and Alpha faced Bronk and Tori in a Tag Duel, which Alpha and Lillybot showcased a bit more of their skills and even emerged as the winners.
Finally, the sky was black, showing that it was night time. The group of friends all said their goodbyes to each other and went their separate ways to their respective homes. Rio took Alpha back to the house that she, Shark and Kairi live in. Yuma took Lillybot back to his home.
Which leads to now, with Lillybot asleep in a small bed in the garage with a blanket over her. Yuma stood by the door in his pajamas, watching his new roommate. "Good night, Lillybot". Yuma bid his new friend goodnight as he closed the door. Lilybot slept peacefully, dreaming of sweet dreams.
Meanwhile at the Kastle household, Alpha was sleeping in the guest room. Watching the sleeping machine was Rio, Kairi and Shark. Rio and Kari had changed into nightgowns; the Ice Queen's one was icy blue, while the 5-year-old's one was black. Shark had changed into blue pajamas that had little sharks on them.
"Good night Alpha". Rio bid the sleeping machine goodnight, before she walked out of the guest room. "See you in the morning Alpha". Kairi said to the sleeping machine, before she followed after Rio.
Shark grunted a bit, but somehow Rio heard him. "REGINALD!" Rio shouted out at her brother from the other room, making Shark winced. "Good night… Alpha". Shark said to the sleeping machine, before he left the room himself.
(Meanwhile)
Meanwhile in another part of Heartland City, the same thief from before was monitoring the whole city from his hideout. His hideout had a bunch of diamonds and other jewels. "The preparations are complete. Ready to do some cleaning little litterbots?" The thief said as he turned on his chair to look at his Litterbots.
The thief pressed a button on a remote that he was holding with his right hand, which activated the Litterbots at his command.
Meanwhile at the Tsukumo residence, Lilybot woke up from her sleep, transforming into her combat mode and left the humble household by opening the garage door. Lillybot however, didn't notice she dropped a card while leaving.
At the Kastle residence, Alpha woke up from his sleep in the guest room that Rio had for him and left the house. Just like Lillybot, he left a card behind. A Spell card called 'Destiny Overlay'.
(The next morning)
Early in the next morning, Yuma was outside his house, searching for Lillybot. "Lillybot! Where are you?" Yuma called out in concern, currently standing outside the open garage, calling out for his new friend.
"Where did she go?" Yuma questioned in wonder, before he walked back into the garage. However, that was when he noticed a card on the ground. It was Lillybot's Spell card, Star Light, Star Bright. "Lillybot's card? Why is it here?" Yuma questioned as he held up the Spell card. Astral appeared from the Emperor's Key, staring at the card himself.
Suddenly ringing was heard, getting both Yuma and Astral's attention. Yuma put his left hand in his pocket, before he pulled out a brand new crimson red Duel Gazer. The screen of the Duel Gazer showed Rio's name, getting Yuma to slightly widen his eyes. "Don't tell me…" Yuma began as he pressed the answer button.
Rio's face appeared on the Duel Gazer's screen, with the Ice Queen having a worried face. "Yuma, Alpha's gone!" Rio cried out in concern, making Yuma and Astral widen their eyes. "Alpha too!?" Yuma questioned in shock as he began walking back to his room.
"Judging from your words, Lillybot must be gone too, right?" Rio asked her boyfriend, as the screen's vision started moving around, meaning Rio was moving too. "Yeah, all she left was her Star Light, Star Bright card". Yuma told the Ice Queen, showing Lillybot's card to the screen for Rio to see.
"Strange. Alpha left a card here as well". Rio told her boyfriend as she showed the Spell, Destiny Overlay, to her boyfriend. "This can't be a coincidence. Something must have happened". Yuma stated as he reached his room, grabbing his deck and Duel Disk.
"I agree. Suit up and meet us at the park". Rio told her boyfriend, who nodded to her as he grabbed his clothes. "I'll see ya there". Yuma told his girlfriend, before he ended the call. Soon Yuma took his shower, put his clothes on, placed his Duel Disk on, before he began to head out with Astral floating after his partner.
However when he reached the living room, Yuma widen his eyes at the sudden excited yell of his sister. Kari was sitting down on the couch with her computer on her lap. "Oh yeah! This is gonna be the scoop that'll make me famous!" Kari cried out in excitement, while Yuma began heading to the door.
"Hold up bro, I need your help". Kari told her younger brother, stopping him in his tracks. "I don't have time for this!" Yuma told his sister, who closed her eyes as she pressed on the screen, causing four photos to appear on her computer screen.
Yuma looked and saw four photos. One of them showed a jewellery store, the other showed a map, the third one showed jewels and the last one showed robots. "Do you have time for millions of dollars? Because that's what this is all about. Someone's been stealing jewellery stores. I got some footage from the security cameras. The only problem is that it's blurry and I can't make out what it is". Kari explained to her brother, sighing in exhaustion.
Yuma looked at the picture that the security camera caught, before his eyes widened at one peculiar item. Yuma zoomed in on the picture and saw what caught his eye. One of the robots had Tori's hair ribbon wrapped around it. "So that's where you went. Hang on Lillybot, Alpha, we're coming for you". Yuma said with narrowed eyes, promising that he'll find his new friend.
"I'm telling you, whoever's behind this is really good. There's not a Duel Security System out there that this mystery person can't take down". Kari told her little brother without facing him. "That is because it is not a person. Perhaps this is why Lillybot and Alpha are so good at dueling. They were programmed to be experienced Duelists". Astral commented from behind Yuma, who brought out Lillybot's card and looked at it in concern.
"The question however, is who programmed them like this? And I think that question can be answered with simple logic". Astral said, getting Yuma's attention as he turned around to face his partner. "I'm listening". Yuma told his partner, who nodded to him before he looked at the picture that showed the map.
"After every robbery, the thief disappears, meaning he must have a hideout. A hideout close to all the places he has robbed so far". Astral told his partner, making Yuma widen his eyes before he looked back at the map. Suddenly, he saw a pattern on the screen. All the Jewellery stores were close to each other, meaning the hideout had to be between them.
"Let's go get our friends". Yuma said with a glare, before he took off for the door with Astral flying after his partner. Kari saw her brother leave, making her sigh. "Gee, thanks for the helping hand". Kari remarked, before she sat back on the couch and went back to her work.
(Later on)
The sky was black, showing that it was late afternoon. In a junkyard, a van stopped in front of a light green building. Coming out of the van was the same thief that has stolen all the jewellery stores. "Haha! Tonight has been the best yet!" The thief laughed out as he brought out a suitcase, before he went to the back of his van, where Lillybot and Alpha jumped out the vehicle.
"Still, who knew using Litterbots could be so helpful at making stealing so easy! And the best part, no one's even found us yet! Hahaha!" The thief continued to laugh in greed. "Oh yeah, short stack!" Shark's voice called out, making the thief widen his eyes in shock as he accidentally dropped his suitcase.
The suitcase was forced open from colliding with the ground, dropping lots of jewels, rings and gems. The thief hurried to put all he stole back into the suitcase, while Yuma, Shark, Rio and Kari appeared, standing 10 feet away with Astral and Enna floating next to them. "Who are you kids?" The thief demanded, looking up at Yuma, Shark, Rio and Kairi.
"That's not important! Now, give back those jewels and give back Alpha and Lillybot!" Rio demanded, stepping forward past her brother, confusing the thief. "Who's Lillybot and Alpha?" The thief questioned, before he turned to look at the two Litterbots behind him.
"You talking about them?" The thief questioned as he finished putting the jewels he stole back in his suitcase. The thief stood up on his feet and glared at the three teens and child. "Sorry, but these Litterbots belong to me!" The thief exclaimed, holding his right hand out to the Litterbots.
"Not gonna happen! Alpha and Lillybot are coming back with us, and those jewels are going back where they belong!" Yuma cried out, holding his right fist out at the thief. "Okay then. You want them, you can have them". The thief said with a smirk, before he ran back into his van.
The thief took off on his van, while Alpha and Lillybot blocked Yuma, Rio, Shark and Kairi's way. "Alpha, Lillybot". Kairi said in concern for the two Litterbots, but the two didn't respond. "What did that guy do to them?" Shark questioned, staring at the two Litterbots.
Suddenly, Lillybot and Alpha transformed into their combat mode, thrusting out their metal claws. Rio quickly wrapped her arms around Kairi, before she, Yuma and Shark leaped away, dodging the two Litterbot's attempts to crush them. "Looks like words won't work". Shark remarked, standing in front of Kairi and Rio in a protective way.
"Mommy, daddy, what can we do?" Kairi asked her 'parents' in concern, wanting Lillybot and Alpha to go back to normal. "Our last resort, a Duel!" Yuma called out as he brought out his Duel Disk and attached it to his left arm. "A Tag Duel to be exact". Rio remarked as she brought out her D-Pad and Duel Disk and activated them.
"Duel accepted, target confirmed. Prepare to be eliminated!" Lillybot called out as she and Alpha brought out their D-pads and activated them, shuffling their Decks in. "Why did you two challenge Alpha and Lillybot to a Tag Duel?" Astral questioned his partner, floating next to Yuma while Enna floated next to Rio.
"It was for these". Yuma answered as he brought out Star Light, Star Bright, while Rio brought out Destiny Overlay. "These cards belonged to them. So maybe if they see them, their memories will resurface!" Rio explained for her boyfriend, before they both slotted the cards into their Decks.
"In this Tag Duel, all of us will have our own Life Points, Graveyards and fields. The Duel will be over when both teammates are defeated! Do you accept those conditions?" Rio questioned Alpha, setting the rules for the Tag Duel. "Conditions accepted". Alpha replied to the Ice Queen, accepting the conditions for the Duel.
Rio placed her Duel Gazer on, while Yuma placed his headset on with his Duel Eye Tattoo appearing. "AR Vision - Link establish!" The computer called out as the AR-vision activated around the junkyard. "Duel!" Yuma, Rio, Lillybot and Alpha called out as they drew their starting hand, beginning the Duel.
Yuma Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 5.
Rio Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 5.
Lillybot Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 5.
Alpha Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 5.
Watching from the sidelines, Shark and Kairi had their Duel Gazers on. Shark had his arms crossed, while Kairi had her hands together as if she was praying. "This should be interesting". Shark remarked, his eyes focused on the Duel taking place. "Good luck, mommy, daddy". Kairi whispered to herself, wishing her parents luck.
"The first move is mine! I draw!" Yuma called out as he drew a virtual card from his Duel Disk with his right hand's index and middle fingers. The virtual card disappeared, before a screen appeared in front of Yuma, showing six cards. "To start off, I'll activate the Continuous Spell, Onomatopickup!" Yuma called out as a Spell card materialized on his field.
"When this card is activated, I can add a 'Onomat' card from my deck to my hand! And I choose Utopic Onomatopoeia!" Yuma explained his Spell's effect as a virtual card appeared on his Duel Disk, before Yuma picked it up and showed it to Lillybot, before it disappeared.
"Now I'll activate the Spell card, Onomatopaira!" Yuma called out as a virtual card materialized between his right hand's index and middle fingers, before it appeared on the field. "By discarding a card from my hand, I can add two certain monsters from my deck to my hand. These monsters need to have the name 'Gagaga', 'Dododo', 'Gogogo' or 'Zubaba' in its name!" Yuma explained his spell's effect as five virtual cards appeared in front of him.
Yuma pressed one of the five cards, causing it to turn around to reveal that it was Damage Mage, before it disappeared. "I'm discarding Damage Mage in order to add Gagaga Girl and Dododo Warrior!" Yuma declared as he held up the two virtual cards of Gagaga Girl and Dododo Warrior, before they disappeared.
"Now, I'll summon Dododo Warrior!" Yuma called out, holding out the virtual card of Dododo Warrior with his right hand. The ground burst open as Dododo Warrior appeared, giving out a battle cry.
Dododo Warrior ATK Points: 2300/ Level: 6.
"I can Summon this card without releasing a monster! However the price for summoning him like this coasts him 500 ATK Points!" Yuma explained as Dododo Warrior powered down a bit.
Dododo Warrior ATK Points: 2300 – 500 = 1800.
"That'll do for me!" Yuma cried out, declaring his turn over.
Lillybot Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 5.
"Not bad. You've build up your hand and field with a good start. Your spell's second effect can change your monsters' Levels to the Level of a Gagaga, Dododo, Gogogo or Zubaba monster you control. And since this is a Tag Duel, all players can't attack on their first turn". Astral commented, impressed with how Yuma handled his cards.
"Initiating protocol 3z, draw!" Lillybot exclaimed as she drew her card in a dramatic fashion by spinning around, before stopping. "First, I activate Eco Spell - Reduce Waste!" Lillybot called out as a Spell card materialized on her field. "With this card, by banishing two Junk Robots monsters in my deck, I can add Junk Robot Camelcycle to my hand!" Lillybot explained as she held up Camelcycle's card with her right metal hand.
"I now Summon Camecycle!" Lillybot exclaimed as she summoned Junk Robot Camelcycle to her field.
Junk Robot Camelcycle ATK Points: 800/ Level: 4.
"I then activate Eco Spell – Recycle!" Lillybot called out as a Spell appeared on her field, before it glowed. "With this card, I can Summon the two Junk Robot monsters that were banished earlier! I now Summon Junk Robot Cleanaga and Junk Robot Computerkong!" Lillybot explained as two new monsters appeared on her field. One looked like a kong made from computers combined together and another was a sneak vacuum machine.
Junk Robot Cleanage ATK Points: 1200/ Level: 4.
Junk Robot Computerkong ATK Points: 1000/ Level: 4.
"Heads up! She has 3 Level 4 Monsters now!" Rio commented, staring at the three Machine type monsters. "I now Overlay these three Level 4 Junk Robots and by way of this overlay, an overlay network has been created and with it! I will now Xyz Summon Recycle Rhinobot!" Lillybot exclaimed as her three monsters turned into bright brown lights that descended into the sky. A red Xyz portal appeared in front of Lillybot as the three lights flew into it, causing a bright light to appear.
A machine rhino with a silver horn appeared with three orange Overlay Units circling around it.
Recycle Rhinobot ATK Points: 2700/ Rank: 4/ Overlay Units: 3.
"She didn't waste anytime!" Yuma called out in surprise at the sight of the Xyz Monster. "I end my turn!" Lillybot said, declaring her turn over.
Rio Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 5.
"My turn now! Draw!" Rio called out as she drew her card in a dramatic fashion. "Rio!" Enna called out, getting the Ice Queen's attention. "This Tag Duel is just like the one you had with your brother! You and Yuma don't share the Field or Graveyards. Meaning your field is technically empty!" Enna told her partner, who widened her eyes, before she nodded.
"When you control a monster and I don't, I can Summon this! My Blizzard Lyrebird!" Rio called out as she held up a card as it unleashed a blue flash. Flying down from the sky was Blizzard Lyrebird, who gave out a cry.
Blizzard Lyrebird ATK Points: 2000/ Level: 5.
"And while I'm at it, I think I'll give her some company by Summoning Blizzard Thunderbird!" Rio called out as Blizzard Thunderbird's card appeared on her field, before said monster appeared on the field.
Blizzard Thunderbird ATK Points: 1600/ Level: 4.
"I'll set a face down and end my turn!" Rio called out as a face down card appeared on her field.
Alpha Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 5.
"Initiating protocol 3z, draw!" Alpha exclaimed as he drew his card in a dramatic fashion by spinning around, before stopping. "I shall start by Summoning Wind-Up Solider!" Alpha began as a card metalized on his field, before a green armoured monster appeared.
Wind-Up Solider ATK Points: 1800/ Level: 4.
"Since a Wind-Up monster was Summoned, I can now Summon Wind-Up Shark from my hand!" Alpha explained as a card metalized again, before a wind up shark monster appeared on his field.
Wind-Up Shark ATK Points: 1600/ Level: 4.
"I now activate Wind-Up Solider's special ability! During my Main Phase, I can increase Wind-Up Soldier's Level by 1 and increase his ATK Points by 400!" Alpha explained his monster's special ability as Wind-Up Soldier's winder began turning, right as Wind-Up Soldier grew bigger.
Wind-Up Solider ATK Points: 1600 + 400 = 2000/ Level: 4 + 1 = 5.
"Now I activate Wind-Up Shark's special ability! Once a turn, I can either increase or decrease Wind-Up Shark's Level by 1! I shall make him Level 5!" Alpha explained as he held up his right metal hand. Wind-Up Shark's winder started spinning as the shark based wind up toy monster grew bigger.
Wind-Up Shark Level: 4 + 1 = 5.
"Oh great, now he's got two Level 5 monsters". Yuma remarked, looking up at the two Wind-Up monsters. "With these two monster, I now build the Overlay Network!" Alpha called out as he held up his right metal hand. The two Wind-Up monsters turned into two green bright lights that flew into the sky.
Appearing in front of Alpha was a red Xyz portal with the two lights flying into it, creating a burst of light. "I Xyz Summon Wind-Up Arsenal Zenmaioh!" Alpha cried out as a multi-coloured machine monster appeared from the portal with two green Overlay Units circling around it.
Wind-Up Arsenal Zenmaioh ATK Points: 2600/ Rank: 6/ Overlay Units: 2.
"I'm never gonna look up at Wind-up toys the same way again". Shark commented at the sight of Wind-Up Arsenal Zenmaioh. "I shall lay two face downs and end my turn!" Alpha called out as two face down cards appeared on his field.
Yuma Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 5.
"My turn now and all of us can attack now! I draw!" Yuya called out as he drew a virtual card from his Duel Disk, before it disappeared. Six virtual cards appeared in front of Yuma, who smirked at seeing them. "I Summon Star Drawing!" Yuma called out as a card materialized on his field, before Star Drawing appeared.
Star Drawing ATK Points: 1600/ Level: 4.
"I now activate my Continuous Spell's effect! I can select a Dododo, Gagaga, Zubaba or Gogogo monster on my field and all monsters I control become the same Level as that one! Meaning Star Drawing becomes Level 6, just like Dododo Warrior!" Yuma explained as his Spell card glowed, before Star Drawing's Level went up.
Star Drawing Level: 4 + 2 = 6.
"Now with the Level 6 Star Drawing and Dododo Warrior, I can create the overlay network!" Yuma cried out as he held up his right hand as his two monsters turned into bright brown lights that descended into the sky.
Appearing in front of Yuma was a red Xyz portal with the two lights going inside of it. "I Xyz Summon Gauntlet Launcher!" Yuma cried out as Gauntlet Launcher appeared from the Xyz portal, giving out a battle cry as two brown overlay units circled around him.
Gauntlet Launcher ATK Points: 2400/ Rank: 6/ Overlay Units: 2.
"Not bad". Shark commented with a smirk on his face. "Keep watching Shark, because things are gonna get better! First Star Drawing's effect allows me to draw a card since he was used for an Xyz Summon!" Yuma explained with a smirk as he drew another virtual card from his Duel Disk, before it disappeared.
"I now activate Gauntlet Launcher's special ability! By using an overlay unit, I can now destroy one monster on the field!" Yuma explained with a smirk on his face as Gaunlet Launcher absorbed an overlay unit into his right fist.
"Say bye-bye to Wind-Up Arsenal Zenmaioh!" Yuma exclaimed with a smirk as Gauntlet Launcher unleashed his right gauntlet at Wind-Up Arsenal Zenmaioh. "I reveal the Trap Card, Xyz Reflect!" Alpha called out as one of his face down cards revealed itself.
"Not good!" Rio called out in concern at seeing Xyz Reflect. "When an Xyz Monster I control would be destroyed by a card effect, that effect is negated and you take 800 Points of damage!" Alpha explained as his Trap card created a force field around Wind-Up Arsenal Zenmaioh.
The force field blocked Gauntlet Launcher's gauntlet, creating a small explosion before it cleared to reveal Wind-Up Arsenal Zenmaioh unharmed. "And now, you take 800 points of damage!" Alpha continued as his Trap card fired a beam at Yuma, striking him and pushing him back a bit.
Yuma Life Points: 4000 – 800 = 3200.
"You okay Yuma?" Rio asked her boyfriend, who gave her a confident smirk. "It'll take more than that to take me down. I activate the Equip Spell, United We Stand!" Yuma called out as a Spell card appeared on his field, before a bright orange aura appeared around Gauntlet Launcher.
"The monster equipped with this card gains 800 ATK and DEF Points for every monster I control! Since there's only one monster on my field, that's 800 Points!" Yuma explained his Spell's effect as Gauntlet Launcher powered up.
Gauntlet Launcher ATK Points: 2400 + 800 = 3200.
"Now Gauntlet Launcher, attack Recycle Rhinobot!" Yuma exclaimed as he held out his right fist. Gaunlet Launcher fired another rocket punch with his right gauntlet, only going for Recycle Rhinobot this time. "I reveal the Trap, Negate Attack!" Alpha called out as his face down card revealed itself.
A force field appeared around Recycle Rhinobot, blocking Gauntlet Launcher's attack. "Alpha blocked all of Yuma's moves, but now his Traps are gone". Astral commented with his arms crossed, keeping his eyes on the duel.
"I'll set a card and end my turn!" Yuma called out as a face down card appeared on his field.
Lillybot Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 2.
"Initiating protocol 2x, draw!" Lillybot exclaimed as she drew her card in a dramatic fashion by spinning around, before stopping. "First I summon Junk Robot Teapot Kangaroo!" Lillybot called out as Teapot Kangaroo's card appeared, before the yellow Machine Type appeared.
Junk Robot Teapot Kangaroo ATK Points: 800/ Level: 3.
"I now activate Rhinobot's ability! For every overlay unit I use, a different monster on my field other than Rhinobot gains 500 additional ATK Points!" Lillybot explained her Xyz Monster's special ability, holding up her right metal hand.
"I use three overlay units so Teapot Kangaroo gains 1500 ATK Points!" Lillybot exclaimed as Rhinobot absorbed all three of its overlay units into its horn, causing an orange aura to cover itself as Teapot Kangaroo climbed onto the Xyz Monster's back.
Junk Robot Teapot Kangaroo ATK Points: 800 + 1500 = 2300.
"2300 ATK Points? It still isn't enough to destroy Gauntlet Launcher!" Yuma stated, staring at Lillybot's two monsters. "I now activate the Spell card, Twister!" Lillybot called out as a Spell card materialized on her field, before a twister appeared from the card.
"By paying 500 Life Points, this card can destroy one face up Spell or Trap! I destroy United We Stand!" Lillybot explained as her Life Points went down, while the twister absorbed United We Stand's card, before it disappeared.
Lillybot Life Points: 4000 – 500 = 3500.
Gauntlet Launcher ATK Points: 3200 – 800 = 2400.
"Crap!" Yuma called out in surprise at seeing his Spell get destroyed. "Now Rhinobot, attack Gauntlet Launcher!" Lillybot commanded, pointing at Gauntlet Launcher with her right metal hand. Rhinobot charged at Gauntlet Launcher, tackling him in the stomach with his horn, before Gauntlet Launcher was destroyed. (2700 – 2400 = 300)
Yuma Life Points: 3200 – 300 = 2900.
"I gotta admit that I'm impressed". Yuma said with a smirk, still feeling pretty confident. "Are you sure it is wise to expressive your admiration when you have no monsters on your field?" Astral asked his partner, looking at Yuma's empty field.
"Protocol 41a, Teapot Kangaroo attack Yuma directly!" Lillybot called out as Rhinobot charged, before Teapot Kangaroo jumped off, heading for Yuma. "Guess again! I reveal the Trap Card, Xyz Reborn!" Yuma called out as his face down card revealed itself.
"With this card, I can bring back an Xyz Monster and attach this card to it as an Overlay Unit!" Yuma explained with a smirk as a black portal appeared on his field, before Gauntlet Launcher floated out of it. Xyz Reborn's card turned into a brown Overlay Unit and circled around Gauntlet Launcher.
Gauntlet Launcher ATK Points: 2400/ Rank: 6/ Overlay Units: 1.
"Teapot Kangaroo, cancel your attack!" Lillybot called out as Teapot Kangaroo stopped charging at Gauntlet Launcher and returned to Lillybot's field. "We're safe for now". Astral stated, his expression as serious as ever.
"I end my turn! At this moment, Recycle Rhinobot's ability activates! When Rhinobot dose not have any Overlay Units, my monster with the least ATK Points is destroyed!" Lillybot explained as Teapot Kangaroo was destroyed. "As a result, we both take damage equal to Teapot Kangaroo's original ATK Points!" Lillybot continued as both her and Yuma were hit by blue electricity.
Lillybot Life Points: 3500 – 800 = 2700.
Yuma Life Points: 2900 – 800 = 2100.
Rio Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 3.
"My turn now! I draw!" Rio called out as she drew her card, before holding it out. "Take flight Blizzard Falcon!'' Rio called out as her card appeared on the field, before Blizzard Falcon flew out of it, creating a blizzard storm.
Blizzard Falcon ATK Points: 1500/ Level: 4.
"I now overlay my Level 4 Blizzard Falcon and Blizzard Thunderbird!" Rio called out with a smile on her face as her two monsters turned into bright blue lights that descended into the sky. "With these two monster, I build the Overlay Network and Xyz Summon a new monster of mine! Come out Snowdust Giant!" Rio called out as a red Xyz portal appeared on her field with the two lights going inside of it.
From the Xyz portal appeared a giant snow giant, holding a giant ice mace over its right shoulder. Two blue Overlay Units surrounded the new monster as it gave out a roar.
Snowdust Giant ATK Points: 2200/ Rank: 4/ Overlay Units: 2.
"Let's see what my new monster can do! I activate Snowdust Giant's special ability!" Rio called out with a smirk on her face as Snowdust Giant absorbed an Overlay Unit into his mace, before he slammed it onto the ground, creating a blizzard storm.
"Now by revealing a many Water Monsters in my hand, all monsters on the field gain an 'Ice Counter!" Rio explained as she picked a card from her hand and revealed it, showing it was Blizzard Wolf. "Since I just have one, all face-up monsters get 1 Ice Counter!" Rio explained as all monsters gained a blue aura around them.
Snowdust Giant counter: 0 + 1 = 1.
Blizzard Lyrebird counter: 0 + 1 = 1.
Gauntlet Launcher counter: 0 + 1 = 1.
Wind-Up Arsenal Zenmaioh counter: 0 + 1 = 1.
Recycle Rhinobot counter: 0 + 1 = 1.
"Now all non-water monsters loses 200 ATK points for each Ice Counter! Since there's 5 counters, that's 1000 points!" Rio explained with a smirk on her face as Gauntlet Launcher, Recycle and Wind-Up Arsenal Zenmaioh powered down.
Gauntlet Launcher ATK Points: 2400 – 1000 = 1400.
Recycle Rhinobot ATK Points: 2700 – 1000 = 1700.
Wind-Up Arsenal Zenmaioh ATK Points: 2600 – 1000 = 1600.
"Now with Arsenal Zenmaioh powered down, Snowdust Giant can take it out!" Rio called out with a smirk on her face as Snowdust Giant charged and smashed Wind-Up Arsenal Zenmaioh with his mace. (2200 – 1600 = 600)
Alpha Life Points: 4000 – 600 = 3400.
"Now Lyrebird, attack Alpha directly! Sorry about this Alpha!" Rio apologized as Lyrebird flew towards Alpha, striking him with her wing and pushing the Litterbot back.
Alpha Life Points: 3400 – 2000 = 1400.
"I think I've done enough damage for now. I end my turn!" Rio called out, declaring her turn over.
Alpha Life Points: 1400/ Number of cards in hand: 2.
"Initiating protocol 2x, draw!" Alpha exclaimed as he drew his card in a dramatic fashion by spinning around, before stopping. "I activate the Spell, Xyz Treasure!" Alpha called out as the Spell appeared on his field.
"For every Xyz Monster on the field, I can draw a card! Since there's 3, I draw 3 cards!" Alpha explained as he drew 3 more cards from his deck. "I activate the Spell card, Monster Reborn!" Alpha called out as the legendary spell card appeared on his field.
"With this Spell's power, I bring back Wind-Up Shark!" Alpha explained as Wind-Up Shark's card materialized on the field, before the wind-up toy appeared.
Wind-Up Shark ATK Points: 1600/ Level: 4.
"I now summon Wind-Up Dog!" Alpha called out as a card materialized on his field, before a blue wind-up dog toy appeared, barking.
Wind-Up Dog ATK Points: 1200 – 1000 = 200/ Level: 3.
"I now activate Wind-Up Shark's special ability! I can either increase or decrease this card's Level by 1! I chose to make it Level 3!" Alpha explained his Wind-Up Shark's special ability as the wind-up on Wind-Up Shark's back started spinning as the toy shark shrunk.
Wind-Up Shark Level: 4 – 1 = 3.
"I now overlay Wind-Up Shark and Wind-Up Dog!" Alpha called out as his two monsters turned into two bright blue lights that descended into the sky. Appearing in front of Alpha was a red Xyz portal with the two lights flying into it. "With these two monster, I build the overlay network and Xyz Summon Wind-Up Carrier Zenmaity!" Alpha called out as he held up his right metal hand.
Appearing from the Xyz portal was the Xyz Monster, Wind-Up Carrier Zenmaity with two blue overlay units circling around it.
Wind-Up Carrier Zenmaity ATK Points: 1500/ Rank: 3/ Overlay Units: 2.
"Since Wind-Up Carrier Zenmaity is a Water Attribute monster, it is unaffected by Snowdust Giant. I now activate the Spell card, Limiter Removal!" Alpha called out as the Spell materialized on the field, making Yuma, Rio and Shark widen their eyes. "Not good!" All three teens called out in surprise, getting Kairi to look at her uncle in confusion.
"What does that Spell do?" Kairi asked Shark, who looked down at the 5-year-old. "It doubles the ATK Points of all Machine monsters on the user's side of the field". Shark explained to Kairi as Wind-Up Carrier Zenmaity powered up.
Wind-Up Carrier Zenmaity ATK Points: 1500 X 2 = 3000.
"Zenmaity, attack Snowdust Giant!" Alpha commanded, pointing at the Water Xyz Monster on the field. Wind-Up Carrier Zenmaity fired a missile at Snowdust Giant, destroying the Rank 4 monster. (3000 – 2200 = 800)
Rio Life Points: 4000 – 800 = 3200.
"You okay?" Yuma questioned his girlfriend, who gave him a nod. "Don't worry, I still have more Life Points than Alpha". Rio told her boyfriend, giving him a wink. "With Snowdust Giant destroyed, his effect is gone! Now all monsters regain their original ATK Points!" Alpha called out as the light blue aura around Gauntlet Launcher and Recycle Rhinobot disappeared.
Gauntlet Launcher ATK Points: 1400 + 1000 = 2400.
Recycle Rhinobot ATK Points: 1700 + 1000 = 2700.
"I shall now place 2 face down cards, then end my turn!" Alpha called out as two face down cards appeared on his field, before Carrier Zenmaity exploded.
"What happened?" Kairi questioned, surprised at Wind-Up Carrier Zenmaity's destruction. "The second effect of Limiter Removal. The cost for doubling the Machine monsters' ATK Points is that they're destroyed at the end of the turn". Shark told the little girl, staring at Alpha's face down cards.
Yuma Life Points: 2100/ Number of cards in hand: 4.
"My turn now!" Yuma called out as he drew his virtual card from his deck, before holding it out. "I'll start with my own Monster Reborn!" Yuma called out as the legendary Spell appeared on his field. "And with this, I'll bring back Dododo Warrior!" Yuma exclaimed as Dododo Warrior reappeared on the field.
Dododo Warrior ATK Points: 2300/ Level: 6.
"I reveal the Trap card, Xyz Reborn!" Alpha called out as his face down card revealed itself. "That's my card!?" Yuma called out in surprise at the sight of Xyz Reborn. "With this Trap, Wind-Up Arsenal Zenmaioh is reborn!" Alpha cried out as the multi-coloured machine monster appeared. Xyz Reborn's card turned into a green overlay unit that circled around Arsenal Zenmaioh.
Wind-Up Arsenal Zenmaioh ATK Points: 2600/ Rank: 6/ Overlay Units: 1.
"Alpha just went from defenseless to defended". Rio commented, looking up at the Xyz Monster she destroyed. "Don't worry about that! I play Gauntlet Launcher's special ability! By using an Overlay Unit, Wind-Up Arsenal Zenmaioh goes bye-bye!" Yuma called out as Gauntlet Launcher absorbed an overlay unit into his right gauntlet, before he fired it at Arsenal Zenmaioh.
"I activate the Trap Card, Xyz Block!" Alpha called out as his last face down card revealed itself. "Are you kidding me!?" Yuma called out; starting to get annoyed that Alpha countered all his moves. "By using Arsenal Zenmaioh's Overlay Unit, Gauntlet Launcher's ability is negated!" Alpha explained as Arsenal Zenmaioh's Overlay Unit disappeared.
Gauntlet Launcher's gauntlet disappeared without making contact. "I'm starting to get annoyed". Yuma stated with gritted teeth, all of Alpha's counters to his moves annoying him greatly. "That is to be expected when all your attempts are nullified". Astral agreed with his partner, even though he isn't annoyed.
"Will this make you feel better? I activate the Spell card, Forbidden Chalice!" Rio called out as her face down card revealed itself, getting Yuma and Astral's attention. "In exchange for negating a monster's effect for this turn, it gains 400 ATK Points!" Enna explained for her partner as Gauntlet Launcher gained a white aura around itself.
Gauntlet Launcher ATK Points: 2400 + 400 = 2800.
"You know, it actually makes me feel better! Now Gauntlet Launcher, attack Recycle Rhinobot!" Yuma commanded as he held out his right hand. Gauntlet Launcher fired another rocket punch, destroying Recycle Rhinobot. (2800 – 2700 = 100)
Lillybot Life Points: 2700 – 100 = 2600.
"Now Dododo Warrior, attack Lillybot directly!" Yuma called out, still holding out his right hand. Dododo Warrior gave out a battle cry as it swung his axe, unleashing a shockwave at Lillybot, lowering her Life Points.
Lillybot Life Points: 2600 – 2300 = 300.
"Well done Yuma, now Lilly has no monsters on her field". Astral praised his partner, who looked back at him. "For now at least. Anyway, I have to survive till I draw Lilly's card, then I'll defeat her". Yuma told his partner, before he turned to face Lillybot. "I end my turn!" Yuma called out, declaring his turn over.
Gauntlet Launcher ATK Points: 2800 – 400 = 2400.
Lillybot Life Points: 300/ Number of cards in hand: 1
"Initiating protocol 3z, draw!" Lillybot exclaimed as she drew her card in a dramatic fashion by spinning around, before stopping. "I activate the Spell card, Junk Reborn!" Lillybot called out as a Spell card materialized on her field, the image showing Junk Robot Teapot Kangaroo in a repair factory.
(Junk Robot Reborn/ Type: Spell/ Effect: Target one Level 4 or lower Junk Robot monster in your graveyard and Special Summon it with its effects negated)
"This Spell allows me to Summon a Junk Robot from my graveyard! I choose Junk Robot Camecycle!" Lillybot explained her Spell's effect as Camecycle reappeared on her field.
Junk Robot Camelcycle ATK Points: 800/ Level: 4.
"Now I summon Junk Robot Microwave Dragon!" Lillybot called out as a card materialized on her field, before a dragon made of metal with a microwave head and scrap wings appeared
(Junk Robot Microwave Dragon/ Level: 4/ Attribute: Earth/ ATK Points: 1400/ DEF Points: 1000/ Effect: By sending this card to the graveyard, add 1 Junk Reborn Spell Card from your deck to your hand)
"Heads up guys!" Shark warned his rival and sister. "We know!" Yuma and Rio replied to Shark, knowing what Lillybot is planning. "I overlay Junk Robot Camelcycle and Microwave Dragon!" Lillybot exclaimed as her two monsters turned into two brown lights that descended into the sky.
Appearing in front of Lillybot was a red Xyz portal, with the two lights flying into it. "With these two monster, I create the Overlay Network and Xyz Summon Wind-Up Zenmaister!" Lillybot called out as the ground shook, before Wind-Up Zenmaister appeared with two brown Overlay Units circling around it.
Wind-Up Zenmaister ATK Points: 1900/ Rank: 4/ Overlay Units: 2.
"For each Overlay Unit, Zenmaister gains 300 ATK Points! Since it has 2 Overlay Units, it gains 600 ATK Points!" Lillybot explained its Xyz Monster's effect as Zenmaister powered up.
Wind-Up Zenmaister ATK Points: 1900 + 600 = 2500.
"Terrific. Now she can attack". Yuma remarked with narrowed eyes, now having the point disadvantage. "Zenmaister, attack Gauntlet Launcher!" Lillybot explained, pointing at Yuma's Xyz Monster with her right metal hand. Zenmaister's right hand stretched out, before it pounded Gauntlet Launcher in the face, shattering the Warrior Type Xyz Monster. (2500 – 2400 = 100)
Yuma Life Points: 2100 – 100 = 2000.
"Today is just so not Gauntlet Launcher's day". Yuma remarked, holding Gauntlet Launcher's virtual card, before it disappeared. "With that, I shall end my turn!" Lillybot called out, declaring her turn over.
Rio Life Points: 3200/ Number of cards in hand: 3.
(Meanwhile)
The thief was currently driving away on his van, but he was watching the Duel on a monitor and he was not happy. "Lousy bucket of bolts! Can't even beat a bunch of kids!" The thief exclaimed in anger, before he smirked.
"But, they can still be useful. Hahaha!" The thief laughed out, before he brought up his remote and pressed a button.
(Back with the duel)
Right when Rio was about to draw her card, blue electricity surrounded Alpha and Lillybot, making everyone widen their eyes. "What… was that?" Kairi asked in concern, having no idea what just happened to Alpha and Lillybot.
"Self-destruct program initiated! Countdown set at 2 minutes!" Alpha and Lillybot called out as a screen appeared before them, showing a countdown of 2 minutes, before it started counting down. "Self-destruct!?" Yuma, Shark, Kairi and Rio called out in joy.
"Something tells me that's a bad sign". Enna commented, looking worried after hearing Lillybot and Alpha's words. "You bet it is! We gotta win this duel as soon as possible!" Rio replied to her partner as she placed her right hand's index and middle fingers on the top of her deck.
'I gotta draw Alpha's card, right now! Please, answer my call, my deck'. Rio thought to herself as she concentrated with her eyes closed, not noticing her silver Emperor's Key glowing. Rio drew her card with her eyes still closed, before she opened them and looked through the corner of her right eye to see her card.
Rio smiled at seeing that she drew the card she wanted. Rio placed her card in her hand, before she picked another one and held it out. "I activate the Spell Card, Blizzard Blessing!" Rio cried out as her spell materialized on her field.
"By discarding my Blizzard Wolf, I can now increase all my monsters' Levels by one times all the Water Monsters on the field! Since Blizzard Lyrebird is the only one, her Level goes up by one!" Rio explained her spell's effect as a blue aura covered Blizzard Lyrebird, increasing her level.
Blizzard Lyrebird Level: 5 + 1 = 6.
Rio turned to look at her boyfriend, who gave her a nod, telling her it was all right, making the Ice Queen smile, before she picked a card from her hand and held it out. "I activate the Spell card, Destiny Overlay!" Rio called out as the Spell materialized on her field.
"That card…!" Alpha exclaimed in shock at seeing Rio use his card. "That's right Alpha! This is your card, and with it, I'll save you!" Rio told her Litterbot friend, before she held up her right hand. "This Spell allows me to use monsters on the field and use them to Xyz Summon!" Rio explained as Blizzard Lyrebird and Dododo Warrior turned into two blue lights that descended into the air.
Appearing in front of Rio was a black Xyz portal with the two lights flying into it. "With my Blizzard Lyrebird and Yuma's Dododo Warrior, I create the Overlay Network and Xyz Summon Number 21: Frozen Lady Justice!" Rio cried out as the sealed form of Number 21 appeared from the portal.
The sealed form then transformed into Rio's ace monster, Number 21: Frozen Lady Justice with two blue Overlay Units circling around her, who gave out a cry.
Number 21: Frozen Lady Justice ATK Points: 500/ Rank: 6/ Overlay Units: 2.
"For every overlay unit she has, Frozen Lady Justice gains 1000 ATK Points!" Rio explained her ace monster's ability as Frozen Lady Justice drew her sword, powering up.
Number 21: Frozen Lady Justice ATK Points: 500 + 2000 = 2500.
"Good Rio, now finish Alpha off!" Enna told her partner, who nodded to her as she grabbed the last card in her hand. "Now I activate the Spell Card, Xyz Energy!" Rio called out, before she slotted the card in with the Spell materializing on the field.
"By using an overlay unit, this card can destroy one monster you control! See ya Wind-Up Arsenal Zenmaioh!" Rio explained her effect as one of Frozen Lady Justice's Overlay Units was absorbed into the Spell, before a bright blue beam appeared and destroyed Wind-Up Arsenal Zenmaioh.
Number 21: Frozen Lady Justice ATK Points: 2500 – 1000 = 1500.
"Now you're wide open for a direct attack! Go Frozen Lady Justice, attack Alpha directly!" Rio called out, holding her right hand out. Frozen Lady Justice obeyed her mistress and swung her sword at Alpha, creating a shockwave that blew Alpha off his feet as his Life Points went down.
Alpha Life Points: 1400 – 1500 = 0000.
Alpha landed on his back, turning back into his Litterbot form with his countdown disappearing. "I end my turn! Yuma, it's your move now!" Rio told her boyfriend, who nodded to her before he looked back at Lillybot.
Yuma Life Points: 2000/ Number of cards in hand: 4.
"My turn now, I draw!" Yuma called out as he drew his virtual card, before he held it in front of him. Yuma smirked at what it was, before the card disappeared. "To start, I'm summoning Utopic Onomatopoeia!" Yuma called out as a bright light appeared, before it revealed Utopic Onomatopoeia.
Utopic Onomatopoeia ATK Points: 1500/ Level: 4.
"I activate Utopic Onomatopoeia's special ability! During my Main Phase, I can Summon a Dododo, Gogogo, Gagaga or Zubaba monster from my hand in DEF mode, like Gagaga Girl!" Yuma called out as Gagaga Girl's card materialized on the field, before the blonde haired female appeared, striking a pose.
Gagaga Girl DEF Points: 500/ Level: 3.
"Now I equip her with the Spell, Wonder Wand!" Yuma called out as the Spell card appeared on the field, before it glowed. "This card gives Gagaga Girl a 500 ATK Point boost!" Yuma explained his Spell's effect as Gagaga Girl took the wand, kissing the gem on the top, before striking a pose.
Gagaga Girl ATK Points: 1000 + 500 = 1500.
Gagaga Girl looked over her shoulder to Yuma and gave him a nod, who returned it with a smile. "Now all the conditions are met! I now activate the Spell, Star Light, Star Bright!" Yuma called out as he held the virtual card out with his right hand. "What is this?" Lillybot demanded as the Spell appeared on Yuma's field.
"It's a Spell Card that matches Gagaga Girl's Level to Utopic Onomatopoeia!" Yuma explained the Spell's effect as Gagaga Girl's Level went up.
Gagaga Girl Level: 3 + 1 = 4.
"Memory banks overriding! Operational protocol override, override, override!" Lillybot called out as her memories started coming back to her, with her slowly transforming back into her normal form. "It's working! Lillybot is going back to her old self!" Yuma exclaimed with a smile on his face.
"Remember Lillybot!" Kairi called out to the female Litterbot, encouraging her to remember. Soon Lillybot returned to her normal form. "Operational protocol has been successfully over rated". Lillybot said, her faceplate spinning before it stopped.
"Did it really work?" Yuma questioned, keeping his guard up. "Therefor failsafe systems are now inactive!" Lillybot called out as her eyes turned red, before she transformed back into her combat mode.
"Does that answer your question?" Enna asked Yuma, who didn't answer her, but was busy gritting his teeth. "There are only 30 seconds remaining, Yuma!" Astral told his partner as Lillybot's countdown reached 30 seconds. "I got it, and I've also got everything I need to win! I overlay Level 4 Utopic Onomatopoeia and Gagaga Girl!" Yuma called out as he held up his right hand as his two monsters turned into two bright yellow lights and descended into the sky.
"With these two monsters, I create the overlay network and Xyz Summon Number 39: Utopia!" Yuma called out as a galaxy Xyz portal appeared in front of him, with the two lights going inside it, causing a bright light. Appearing from the portal was Utopia's sealed form, before it unsealed itself and revealed his true form with two yellow overlay units circling around him.
Number 39: Utopia ATK Points: 2500/ Rank: 4/ Overlay Units: 2.
"At this moment, Gagaga Girl's special ability activates! When she's used for an Xyz Summon with another Gagaga monster, I can target an Xyz Monster you control and reduce its ATK Points to 0! Another thing you should know about Utopic Onomatopoeia, he always counts as a 'Zubaba', 'Gagaga', 'Dododo' and 'Gogogo' monster!" Yuma explained with a smirk on his face as Gagaga Girl appeared in ghost form.
Gagaga Girl brought out her phone, tapping a few buttons before she held it out as it unleashed a beam at Wind-Up Zenmaister, draining his powers.
Wind-Up Zenmaister ATK Points: 2500 – 2500 = 0000.
"End this Yuma!" Astral told his partner, holding out his right hand. "Gladly! Go Utopia, attack Wind-Up Zenmaister with Rising Sun Slash!" Yuma called out, pointing at Zenmaister with his right hand's index finger. Utopia tossed his sword into the air, before catching it and diving down, slicing Zenmaister in half. (2500 – 0000 = 2500)
The force of the attack blew Lillybot off her feet as the rest of her Life Points were depleted.
Lillybot Life Points: 300 – 2500 = 0000.
Yuma and Rio: Win!
Lillybot transformed back into her normal form as she landed on her back, only there was a pink heart on her. Lillybot's countdown stopped on 5 seconds, before disappearing. "Lillybot!" Yuma called out in concern as he ran to his friend. "Alpha!" Rio cried out as she ran to Alpha, who hasn't moved in a while.
The AR Vision deactivated around the junkyard. Before disappearing, Utopia and Frozen Lady Justice looked at each other with the Rank 6 giving the Rank 4 a smile. Shark walked up next to Rio, who stopped in front of Alpha, while Kairi ran up next to Yuma.
"Yuma, BFF! Best friends forever". Lillybot said, her eyes flashing as Yuma and Kairi smiled in relief. "Rio, Rio, Rio!" Alpha called out as his faceplate swapped for a smiling faceplate, making the Ice Queen laugh in joy.
"They're back!" Kairi called out as Yuma hugged Lillybot, while Rio hugged Alpha, Shark just watched as Yuma, Rio and Kairi celebrated their victory. Astral and Enna watched the screen, with Enna having a smile on her face, while Astral had a small one.
(With the thief)
"Blast! Disobedient bot!" The thief exclaimed as he turned the monitor off, angry that Alpha and Lillybot disobeyed him. "Do not threat". One of the Litterbots said from behind the thief, getting his attention. "Huh?" The thief questioned as he turned to face his Litterbots.
All of them had countdowns now with them reaching 8 seconds. "We will carry out Lilly and Alpha's mission". The same Litterbot said as the thief started to panic, while the Litterbots counted down.
"Get lost you boltbuckets!" The thief called out as he tried to kick out all the Litterbots to save himself, but failed to get one as his van exploded.
(The next morning)
Early in the next morning, Kari was watching the news on TV. "Last night when police responded to an explosion, a man was arrested after it was revealed that he was the criminal robbing all the jewellery stores". The news' woman said as the TV showed a picture of the thief on a stretcher; only his left arm was bandaged, along with his head.
"That was my story! If I find out who scooped me, they're toast!" Kari swore with her eyebrows twitching, not noticing Yuma sneaking by her in his school uniform with a anime kitty face. "See ya later you two!" Yuma bid his grandmother and Lillybot goodbye as he ran past them, who were swiping the ground.
"Yuma, do not forget your duel fuel, catch!" Lillybot told Yuma as she passed him his wrapped up duel fuel, with him caching it. "Thanks Lilly!" Yuma thanked his new housemate with a smile. "Yuma!" A familiar voice called out, getting Yuma's attention as he looked to see Rio, Kari and Alpha waiting down the stairs.
However, Alpha had a change. He had a new paint job, blue replaced the white, icy blue replaced normal blue, purple replaced green and black replaced the yellow. Finally, Alpha's face now had paint on it shaped as a shark, giving Alpha the face of a shark.
"Where'd Alpha get a new paint job?" Yuma asked his girlfriend in surprise, who could only giggle. "I decided to give Alpha a new look so that he could stick out than other Litterbots. What do ya think?" Rio replied to her boyfriend as Alpha joined Lillybot, while Kairi gave Haru a hug.
"Not bad". Yuma complimented, liking Alpha's new look. "You two should go now. School will be starting soon". Haru told her grandson and his girlfriend, smiling as ever. "Okay Haru. Kairi, be good while we're at school". Rio told her daughter, giving the 5-year-old a kiss on the forehead.
"Okay". Kairi replied to her mother with a smile. "Let's go Yuma!" Rio called out as Yuma and her began walking to school, before they took hold of each other's hands. "See ya Kari". Yuma bid the 5-year-old goodbye, giving her a wave. "Love you!" Rio called out to her daughter, before Yuma and her continued on to school.
And that's that. Sorry it took a while, I've got no excuse. Anyway, next chapter Luna reveals her dueling skills and her connection to the Kastle siblings. Another thing is that I need helping creating cards for Luna because in the manga, she only dueled Shark and she only lasted one turn, so not many of her cards were revealed. Please help me out with this one? See you guys later.
But before I go, I need to ask you all a question. Should I do a Yugioh Sevens fan fiction?
