Chapter 17: The second Zexal.
Luna was silent as she, Orbital 7 and 8 entered the lab, where Kite was waiting for them. The blond haired male had made himself comfortable by leaning against the wall next to the entrance with his arms crossed. Kite watched as his sister walked forward without a word with Orbital 8 by her side, while Orbital 7 stopped next to him.
"What happened?" Kite questioned his robot without facing him, his eyes focused on his sister as she handed Orbital 8 the silver Emperor's Key. "We found a different key than Yuma Tsukumo's key, and it belonged to Rio Kastle. Her brother, Reginald Kastle found us and took the key. We attempted to get it back, but the annoying punk wouldn't give it up. Eventually Mistress Luna showed up, where she had her long awaited reunion with her old friend". Orbital 7 began to tell his master what happened as he watched his sister slot the key into the computer, causing it to float inside the crystal that the computer was attached to.
Kite narrowed his eyes, but kept silent as he allowed Orbital 7 to continue to explain what happened. "Mistress Luna begged him to give her the key and the Numbers he had in his possession, but he refused. Left with no choice, Mistress Luna Dueled him and it was quite the Duel. Allow me to show you". Orbital 7 continued to tell his master as his right eye glowed, before a screen appeared in front of him and Kite, showing Luna and Shark's duel.
Kite watched his sister's Duel in silence, while Luna and Orbital 8 worked on analyzing the key. Kite was a bit impressed at seeing Shark use his Numbers and come close to victory a few times, but failed. Then he received a shock when he saw Shark Xyz Summon Number 101: Silent Honor ARK. "What in the world is this!? How does he have a Number that's over 100? In fact, how is there a Number that's over 100?" Kite questioned in surprise to see the Number that exceeded 100, while Luna sat down on a chair with her bangs covering her eyes.
"Unknown. Despite being over 100, we have c-confirmed that Silent Honor ARK is i-indeed a Number card". The robot told his creator, who narrowed his eyes even more, but kept silent as he continued to watch the Duel. Although he did smirk when he saw his sister Xyz Summon her ace monster, Moon Dragon Selene. He always did enjoy seeing Luna Duel with her dragon.
Then he frowned as he thought back to how she got her ace monster. It was her last gift from their departed mother, just a few days after she died of cancer. Kite gritted his teeth upon thinking about his mother, how kind, beautiful, understanding and caring she was to everyone. It was because of her that Luna was even his sister in fact.
One day, while his family was still happy and Kite was young, his mother left to go shopping for dinner in Heartland. She didn't come back until late afternoon, but she wasn't alone, a little girl was with her. Kite and his father, Dr. Faker were surprised to see a random little girl, even more so to see that she was holding hands with his mother, who had a happy smile on her face.
Kite's mother first introduced him and his father to the little girl called Luna, and then introduced her to them, telling Kite that Luna was his new little sister, much to his and Dr. Faker's surprise. She explained to her husband and son how she met Luna. They had met at the park, where Luna had scrapped her knee by helping get a cat down a tree.
Kite's mother bandaged Luna's knee, then helped her up. The two spent the whole afternoon together, learning about each other. Eventually, Kite's mother asked Luna about her parents, instantly shattering the young girl's good mood as she revealed that she was an orphan and had no idea what had happened to her parents. Mrs. Tenjo felt deep sadness for the young girl and decided to adopt her, much to Luna's shock at first, before she began crying tears of joy that she'd finally have a family.
At first, things between Kite and Luna had been awkward, but the two eventually bonded through Dueling. Even before she was adopted, Luna had a deep love for Dueling, and Kite had been drawn towards it. Even Doctor Faker had grown to love Luna like his real daughter. A few years had passed, then the day came that Hart was born, and everything was perfect for them.
Sadly, their perfect life came to an end. Their mother had died of cancer, beginning the breaking of their family. Dr. Faker had grown cold and even sent Kite, Luna, their Orbital bots and Hart to their cottage, but not before giving the teenage girl her last gift from her departed mother. Kite, Luna and their Orbital bots raised Hart as best as they could in the forest and in their cottage. But eventually, Hart grew sick and they were forced to return to Heartland City.
Kite shook his head and focused back on watching the events that Orbital 7 was showing him. He widened his eyes at seeing Shark activate the Spell card, Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force. "A Barian's card!?" Kite exclaimed in surprise, losing his emotionless look and replaced it with a look of shock. "Indeed. Somehow, that human had a Barian's card and Ranked-Up his Number into a Chaos Xyz Monster". Orbital 7 informed his master as the screen showed Shark Rank-Up Number 101: Silent Honor ARK into Chaos Number 101: Silent Honor DARK.
Kite once again widened his eyes in shock, before he looked down at Orbital 7. "How can someone like him have such an incredible power!? And what even is a Chaos Number card?" The Galaxy-Eyes Master questioned his robot companion, wanting to learn more about Chaos Numbers. "I am unsure how he was able to a-acquire this p-power. However, it was nothing compared to Mistress Luna's monster". Orbital 7 answered his master as the screen showed Luna Rank-Up Moon Dragon Selene into Moon Goddess Dragon Selene and obtain victory.
Kite watched with his arms crossed as Luna attempt to steal Shark's soul, only to be surprised at seeing her fail and at the mysterious power that protected the teenager's soul. However, his greatest shock was seeing Luna kiss the unconscious Shark. The Galaxy-Eyes Master lowered his head with a sad look, having suspected that his sister was in love with her childhood friend, and what he just saw proved it. 'Luna… You really do love that guy, don't you?' Kite said in his mind in sadness that his sister was forced to Duel the one she loved.
He returned his attention to the screen as it showed Luna and Rio's confrontation. Soon, Orbital 7 stopped showing his master what happened and deactivated the screen. Kite turned to look at his younger adopted sister and saw her sitting down on the chair in front of the computer. He walked over to the teenage girl and placed his right hand on her left shoulder, getting Luna to look up at her adoptive brother and saw his concerned look.
"…You really did love that guy, didn't you?" The Galaxy-Eyes Master questioned his sister in a concerned tone, getting the Moon Duelist's expression to fall even more, before she nodded to him. "I did. Just as much as I love you, Hart and Mum". Luna answered her adoptive brother, before she went back to looking up at the silver Emperor's Key as it floated inside the crystal.
Kite looked at his younger sister in deep sadness, before he leaned down and wrapped his arms around her shoulder in a hug, much to her surprise as she widened her eyes. "I'm sorry I got you involved in all this. If I had talked you out of becoming a Number Hunter, you could have had your chance to be with the boy you loved. I'm sorry". Kite apologized to his beloved little sister with his eyes closed, getting Luna to grow a heartfelt smile at his words.
She placed her left hand on her older brother's left arm, before she looked over her shoulder to look at Kite. "I appreciate what you're saying, but I don't regret becoming a Number Hunter. You and Hart are my family, and I'd do anything to protect you guys. I'm sad about what happened to Shark, but if it meant helping cure Hart; I'd do it a thousand times. You and Hart are my family, and you always come first". The Moon Duelist told her beloved older brother, before she gave him a kiss on his right cheek, getting the Galaxy-Eyes Master to smile at her.
Kite released his arms from his sister's neck and took a step back, while keeping eye contact with her. "You and Orbital 7 can head on back to Heartland Tower to spend time with Hart and Dextra. I'll continue researching this key and see what I can learn from it". Luna told her older brother as she turned back around and stared up at the floating key. "Will you be alright on your own? What if that Kastle girl comes here to retrieve the key?" The Galaxy-Eyes Master questioned his sister in a slightly concerned voice, even though he knows that Luna was very powerful and could handle herself.
Luna's expression fell even more at her brother's words, before she brought out a card with her right hand and looked down at it. The card was her ace monster, Moon Dragon Selene. "…This is something I need to do, no matter how much pain it'll bring me". The Moon Duelist answered her brother with a hint of sadness in her voice. Kite stared at his sister in concern, before he gave a nod towards her. He then turned to look at his robot companion.
"Orbital 7, come on. I want to learn as much as I can about these 'Chaos Numbers', and if we create our own Rank-Up-Magic cards". The Galaxy-Eyes Duelist told his robot partner as he walked passed Orbital 7, getting him to stretch his neck out to look at his master. "U-Understood Master Kite!" The robot replied to his master, before he retracted his neck and followed after the Galaxy-Eyes user.
The door to the lab opened, which Kite and Orbital 7 went through, before it closed after them, leaving Luna and Orbital 8 by themselves. Luna spent a moment looking at the closed door, before she turned to look up at the silver Emperor's Key. "How's it going so far?" The Moon Duelist asked her robot partner, watching Orbital 8 as she slide on her chair around the computer, analyzing the pendant.
"P-pretty good, actually. But it is still running. I-I just have to complete this moon scan. If this works, it could help us figure out if this pendant really does come from another world. A-And maybe just what its real purpose is". The female robot told her mistress as Luna looked up and saw the silver Emperor's Key spinning around with sparks coming out of it. "Mistress, may I ask why you're so determine to find out the secrets of this key? In fact, why even take THIS key instead of Yuma Tsukumo's key?" Orbital 8 questioned her mistress in a curious voice, stretching her neck out to look at the Moon Duelist.
"I took it because it might be from Astral World, just like the other key. But to be honest, I want to know why Rio had this key". Luna answered her robot companion as the whole room began flashing lights. "According to Kite when he encountered Yuma Tsukumo, Shark and Rio, he saw the original visitor from Astral World. Not to mention, somehow this being from Astral World merged with Yuma and turned things around in that Duel. If one merge like that from one Astral World being was able to stand up against Kite's power, who knows what kind of troubles we'll have if there's another one with the same power". The Moon Duelist explained to Orbital 8, crossing her arms and her left leg over her right one.
"I see. You're worried that if this key contains another visitor from Astral World and if it manages to merge together with your old friend, Rio Kastle, our troubles of collecting the Numbers would increase tenfold, correct?" The female robot assumed, getting Luna to nod to her. "Indeed, but that's not completely the reason. It's to find out what 'daddy dearest' is trying to hide". The Moon Duelist told her robot companion, increasing Orbital 8's curiosity as she retracted her neck.
"If Dr. Faker finds out about this, he's not gonna be happy". The female robot stated as multiple screens appeared in front of the crystal, one showing the silver Emperor's Key and another showing random letters. "He'll be happy if this leads to getting more Number cards. What he doesn't know is that when we have enough, Kite and I are taking him down". Luna said with a frown on her face, keeping a hold of Moon Dragon Selene's card with her left hand's index and middle fingers.
"Can you really do it? Can you really deify the man that raised you like his own daughter?" Orbital 8 questioned her mistress without turning to face her, focusing on analyzing the silver Emperor's Key. Luna lowered her head with her bangs covering her eyes from view. "That man is gone. All that remains is a madman that's obsessed with destroying Astral World". Luna answered her robot companion with a sad voice, her heart filled with sadness at how her kind hearted father became a madman.
Orbital 8 looked at her mistress in sadness, remembering how closed Luna used to be with her adopted father so long ago. "I understand, Mistress. I'll do what I can to find out about this key". The female robot told her mistress, before she turned back to the computer and continued pressing away. Luna gave her robot companion a grateful look, before she brought up Moon Dragon Selene's card and looked at it.
(Meanwhile in Heartland Hospital)
Meanwhile with Rio, Yuma and Astral, they, along with Tori, Bronk, Caswell, Cat, Taiki and Kairi were all in a hospital room, looking down at the unconscious form of Shark, who was sleeping on a hospital bed, wearing a hospital rob, along with being hooked up to various machines to keep a watch on his heartbeat.
After Luna and the two Orbital bots had left, Rio had called the hospital, while Yuma called everyone else and told them of the situation. A helicopter had arrived and took Yuma, Rio and Shark to the hospital. Sometime after they arrived, Tori, Bronk, Caswell, Cat, Taiki and surprisingly Kairi came in. Apparently, they had ran into Kairi on their way to the hospital and brought her along for the ride.
Right now, Rio was kneeling by Shark's bed on the left, holding his left hand with both of her hands and was looking down at his unconscious face with tears in her eyes. 'Reginald… is this what I put you through when I was in the hospital? It hurts so much to see you like this? I'm so sorry for putting you through something similar to this pain'. The Ice Queen apologized in her mind to her twin brother, lowering her head in sadness as tears fell down from her cheeks to the ground.
Everyone was looking at the Ice Queen with sad eyes that she was forced to experience this. The ones that were staring at her in sadness the most were Yuma and Kairi. The 5-year-old girl walked over to her 'mother's' side and wrapped her arms around her left arm, getting Rio to look at her 'daughter'. "Mommy, I'm so sorry that this happened to uncle". The little girl apologized to her 'mother' in a sad voice, getting Rio to smile through her tears. "It wasn't your fault, sweetheart. At least Reginald's soul wasn't taken away from him". The Ice Queen replied to the younger female, getting Kairi to look down at her unconscious uncle and saw that he didn't looked like he aged.
"Rio..." Yuma said to his girlfriend in a concerned voice, getting her and Kairi to turn around to see everyone's concerned looks. "Is Shark alright?" Tori asked her best friend in concerned, getting the Ice Queen to look back at her unconscious twin brother. "He hasn't aged like the other victims of the Number Hunters, meaning he must still have his soul. He just won't wake up somehow. Maybe Enna did something that saved him". The Ice Queen told her friend, taking little comfort knowing that Shark's soul wasn't stolen from him.
"Speaking of Number Hunters, you have some explaining to do". Yuma told his girlfriend in a serious tone, getting Rio and everyone else to look at him and saw that his eyes were narrowed at the Ice Queen. "Just who was that girl that Shark was Dueling? And why were you in such a rush to talk to her?" The 13-year-old boy questioned his girlfriend, wanting to know why she acted the way she did when she saw Luna.
Rio's expression fell at her boyfriend's question, before she turned to look back at her unconscious brother. "That girl's name was Luna. She's mine and Reginald's childhood best friend". The Ice Queen revealed to everyone in a sad voice, getting everyone to widen their eyes in surprise. "And there's more. She's the girl that Reginald is in love with". Rio added, now getting everyone to gasp in surprise and even take a step back, while Kairi looked at her mother in surprise.
"Say what!?" Bronk exclaimed in disbelief at what he just heard. "So this whole time, Shark was in love with someone!?" Caswell questioned in disbelief, having thought that Shark had no interest in romance. "Oh my". Cat commented with her hands over her mouth in surprise. "If what you're saying is true, then why did she try to steal Shark's soul?" Tori questioned her best friend in a confused voice, wondering why Rio's former best friend did what she did to Shark.
(Play yu-gi-oh gx Agonizing Heart)
"I don't know". The Ice Queen answered her best friend, before she, to everyone's surprise, began trembling. Kairi was the only one that saw her mother crying tears of sadness at a fast rate. "It's been years since I last saw Luna, and there's no way she'd do this to Reginald without a good reason. Just like how Reginald is in love with her, Luna's in love with him as well". Rio told everyone, her voice full of sadness, causing everyone to look at her in pity.
"How did you and Shark even meet that girl?" Taiki asked the Ice Queen in a concerned tone, getting Rio to look over her left shoulder to look at him and everyone else. "We met her a long time ago in the park. Reginald and I were looking through some new cards of ours, but a sudden change in the wind blew one of mine away. I almost lost it, but Luna came out of nowhere and caught it. She returned my card to me, and that was when our bond was formed". Rio began to explain with a sad voice, before she turned to look back at her unconscious brother.
She grew a smile as she remembered her childhood, or more exact, her days of when she, Shark and Luna were together. "She was an orphan; she never knew her parents and was living in the orphanage. Reginald and I begged our parents to take us to the orphanage to see her as much as we could. Over time, all three of us grew close. Luna and I became best friends, while she and Shark fell in love with each other". Rio told her friends with a slightly happy voice from remembering those happy days that she; Shark and Luna were all together.
"But then… one day, she just disappeared". The Ice Queen continued, her happy voice now back to being sad as she remembered the day that Luna was taken away from hers and Shark's lives. "One day, when we came to the orphanage to visit her, she was gone. We searched around for her, but didn't find her. We asked the caretaker what happened to Luna, and she told us that she was adopted by a family. Ever since then, we never heard from her again, until today". Rio finished with a sad voice, before she turned to look over at everyone and saw their sad looks directed at her.
"How terrible. You haven't seen your friend for a long time, and when you guys reunite, this is the result". Cat said in pity for her love rival, sad that she was suffering because of her old friend's actions. "Why would your friend do this to you and Shark?" Tori asked in slight anger at how her best friend's former best friend did this to her and Shark. "Better question is; why is she a Number Hunter?" Bronk added, wanting to know why Luna was a Number Hunter.
Yuma looked down in thought for a few moments, before he widened his eyes at a random thought that came to his mind. He looked up at his girlfriend with an alarmed expression. "Rio! You don't think that family that Luna was adopted into was Kite's family, do you?" Yuma questioned his girlfriend in an alarmed voice, getting everyone to look at him in surprise. Rio had wide eyes as she stared at her boyfriend, before she looked down at the ground.
"It's possible. The caretaker told Reginald and I that a woman came and adopted Luna. I remember her telling us the woman's name, but I can't remember". The Ice Queen told her boyfriend in a surprised voice, before she looked back at her brother. "Luna… just what happened to you?" Rio asked the question that will be unanswered as no one with her knew the answer. Kairi looked at her mother in concern as she gently took her left hand with both her hands, getting the Ice Queen to look at her younger look-alike and smiled at her.
(Music finished)
At that moment, Astral materialized up above with his sleeping son in his hands. "Yuma, Rio, remember. That girl took the key with her when she escaped". Astral reminded the two humans, getting Yuma to look up at him, while Rio continued to stare at her brother and Kairi continued to watch her mother in concern. "You don't need to remind me Astral, I know". Rio replied to her partner's husband, getting surprised looks from everyone.
"Wait, Rio can see and hear Astral?" Caswell questioned Yuma in surprise, getting the 13-year-old boy to look at him and nod. "That's right. She's been able to see, hear and interact with him ever since the day we met". Yuma told his friend, much to Caswell and everyone else's surprise as they stared at Rio's back in awe.
"Rio, please listen. Staying here won't solve anything, and it won't bring your brother or Enna back". The Astral World being told the Ice Queen, getting Yuma to grit his teeth, before he looked up at his partner. "This is more than what just happened, Astral! Her best friend, one she hasn't seen for years, was the one responsible for her brother's condition and for stealing her key. This is something that no one can easily put behind them". The 13-year-old Duelist told his partner, looking down at the ground as he thought about how he could have felt if one of his close friends did what Luna did to Rio.
Astral looked down at his partner with a regrettable expression, realizing that Yuma had a point. "I understand what you're saying Yuma, but now is not the time to mourn. Enna is in danger. With the Empress's Key in that Number Hunter's hands, she could find a way into the dimension inside and duel Enna. If she loses, not only will that Number Hunter obtain the Numbers, Enna will be lost". Astral explained to his partner for him to better understand; now getting Rio and Kairi's attention as they looked up at him.
"The Empress's Key?" The 5-year-old questioned in confusion, getting Astral to look down at her and nod. "That is what Rio's key is called. Didn't Enna tell you?" The other worldly being questioned the young girl, getting her to shake her head in response. "No, Enna never called that key by a name. Mommy just called it the silver Emperor's Key because it was like daddy's key". Kairi answered Astral, missing Bronk and Tori's slightly jealous looks at what she called Rio and Yuma.
"Odd. Why didn't Enna tell you or Rio what the Empress's Key was really called?" The Astral World being questioned the young girl, getting her to shrug her shoulders in response. Yuma turned to look at Rio and saw her looking back at her unconscious brother. "Rio, can you tell us when Enna gave you the Empress's Key?" Yuma asked his girlfriend, getting her to lower her head as she thought back to the day that Enna gave her the now named Empress's Key. "I remember alright. It all happened on the day that you went to Duel Fortuno". Rio answered her boyfriend as she began to explain the events of that day.
(Flashback)
Rio was walking through the streets of Heartland Park with Enna floating behind her with Epifanio asleep in her arms. The two had just met up with Shark and told him the situation. However, before they could even make a plan, Rio had received a message on her Duel-Gazer from Yuma and told her that everything had been sorted out.
Right now, Rio and Enna were on their way back to the park to meet up with Yuma. The Ice Queen had her hands held together behind her and had a little relived smile on her face, something that Enna took notice of. "You looked relived". Enna stated, getting Rio to look up at her partner with a smile on her face. "I'm just glad that everything worked out and that nobody got hurt. Plus, we don't have to deal with Kite just yet". The Ice Queen told her partner, getting the white haired woman to narrow her eyes a bit.
"Eventually, we'll have to face him again, along with the unknown Number Hunter". Enna told her partner with a stern tone, getting Rio to sigh a bit with her eyes closed. "I know, but I just don't think I'm ready to face him again just yet". Rio replied to her partner as she brought her hands up and hugged herself, trembling slightly. "I gave that Duel everything I had, but it didn't even faze him. If he was that much trouble against Yuma, Shark and I all together, I don't know how I'll do against him alone". The Ice Queen said in fear at the thought of facing the Number Hunter again.
Enna softened his gaze greatly upon seeing Rio's shivering form. She remembered that Duel well, and she was still shaken up a bit from it. She stared at her shivering partner for a moment, before deciding to do something about it. "Rio, I have a gift for you". The silver haired woman told her partner with a gentle voice, getting the Ice Queen to look up at her in confusion. "A gift?" Rio said in a confused voice, which Enna nodded to her.
The silver haired woman held her left hand out to her partner, while she kept a hold of her sleeping son with her right hand. Enna's left hand palm began glowing lightly blue, before something appeared from within the glow. Rio watched with wide eyes as the object that came out of the glow was a similar pendant to Yuma's Emperor's Key, only it was pure silver. The Ice Queen held her hands up together in front of her as the silver key fell into her hands with a blue string already attached to it.
"This looks like Yuma's Emperor's Key". Rio stated as she looked down at the silver version of her boyfriend's key in her hands. "This is the…" Enna began, before she stopped herself and looked down in sadness. Rio noticed her partner's sad look, getting her to grow concerned for Enna. "You okay?" The Ice Queen asked her partner in concern, getting Enna to lift her head and smile at Rio.
"Don't worry about me, just thinking about my old friend Marin". Enna replied to her partner, before she looked down at the Empress's Key. "She was the first person I gave that key to. Besides her, you're the only person I've given that key to". The silver haired Astral World woman told her partner, before she floated down to the ground and walked up to Rio. She laid her left hand down on Rio's hands and gave her a gentle smile. "This key is a symbol of our friendship, it connects us, just like how Yuma's key connects him and Astral". She continued, getting Rio to look down at the covered key in her hands for a few moments, before she grew a smile on her face.
"Thank you Enna. It really means a lot to me that you'd give me this key". The Ice Queen thanked her partner with an appreciated smile, one that Enna returned. "I'm glad to hear that. Marine was overjoyed when I gave her this key as well". The silver haired woman replied to her partner with a happy voice as she thought back to the day that she gave the Empress's Key to her old friend.
Enna lifted her left hand from Rio's hands, allowing her to fully see her new key. The Ice Queen spent a moment or two looking down at the Empress's Key. Eventually, she took hold of the string with both her hands and placed the silver key around her neck. Rio looked down at her new key with a happy smile on her face, happy that she finally had something that connected her to her partner, Enna. And she'd make sure nothing would take it away from her.
(Flashback end)
"…And that's how it happened". Rio finished with a sad look, before she looked over her left shoulder once more to look at everyone. She had finished telling everyone how she obtained the Empress's Key with everyone now having an understanding look. "So that's how you got that key. I always did wonder where you got it". Bronk commented, thinking back to the day that he first saw Rio wearing the Empress's Key.
"But why didn't she tell you what it was called?" Tori asked her best friend, getting Rio to look down with a sad look. "I think it's because what it was called reminded her about her old friend Marine. She told me that Marine died a long time ago, and she was really sad about what happened to her". Rio answered her best friend in a sad tone, before she looked back at her unconscious brother.
"Would you want to hear the name of something that connected you to your old friend that died, so casually? To be honest, I can understand why Enna didn't tell me what the Empress's Key was called". The Ice Queen told her friends, receiving understanding looks from them all. "She has a point. I can't speak from experience, but even I know that's something I wouldn't want". Taiki remarked from his spot with a frown, understanding Enna's reasons.
Kairi and Yuma looked at Rio in concern, only for them to be surprised when she suddenly stood up on her feet, keeping a hold of Shark's left hand with both of hers. "Astral was right. Staying here won't solve anything, and it won't bring Reginald or Enna back. As long as Luna has my key, Enna's in danger. We have to save her". The Ice Queen said with a determine voice, her eyes full of resolve to get her partner and key back.
Yuma, Kairi and Astral smiled at seeing Rio's resolve, while everyone else was still concerned. "Hold up Rio! You can't seriously be thinking of going after that girl, are you? She took down Shark, what chance do you have against someone that he couldn't beat?" Caswell questioned the ice Queen, getting Rio to turn around to face him and everyone else. "I know full well that I don't have that big of a chance against her, but I need to try. Besides, just look at Yuma". Rio replied to the Class Representative, before she and everyone else turned to look at Yuma, who had wide eyes at his girlfriend.

"Tori told me how you used to be before you met me. You took on literally every challenge you could, and failed at all of them. Yet, despite your failures, you never gave up and kept on challenging yourself. That was you feeling the flow and hi-fiving the sky, and I admired you for that". The Ice Queen revealed to her boyfriend and everyone with her cheeks slightly red, much to their slight surprise with Astral watching in fascination.
"It's one of the reasons I wanted to learn how to feel the flow myself so that when the time came for me, I'd hi-five the sky just like how you always do it. To be honest, I really think that time has come for me. I need to go after Luna, not just for Reginald, Enna and me, but for her too. I want to face her in the eye and ask what happened to her, and why she did that to Reginald". Rio explained to everyone, keeping her head high to show everyone how much this meant to her.
Everyone stared at the Ice Queen in awe for a few seconds, before Yuma grew a smile on his face. He walked up to his girlfriend and placed his right hand on her shoulder, getting Rio to look at her boyfriend and saw his understanding look. "I understand what you're saying. That's why I won't try to stop you. But if you're going to face that girl, I'm coming with you". The 13-year-old boy told his girlfriend with a gentle smile, making her return it with her cheeks lightly red.
Tori walked up next to her childhood friend and gave her best friend a smile. "Count me in too. You're my best friend, Rio, that's why I won't let you face someone who used to be your best friend alone". The Fairy Duelist told her best friend, now getting Rio to look at Tori with an appreciated smile on her face. "Don't forget about us. We're coming too". Bronk remarked as he, Caswell, Cat and Taiki stepped forward with all of them grinning.
Rio looked at all her friends, feeling great joy to have them in her life. Feeling a soft feeling on her right hand, the Ice Queen looked down to see Kairi holding her hand with both of hers and was looking up at her with a smile. "I wanna help as well". The young girl stated, getting Rio to smile down at her daughter. She lifted her head up to look up at her boyfriend's face and saw his confident smile directed at her, making Rio's heart blossom. Feeling her heart beat quickly as she looked at her boyfriend, Rio decided to confess her true feelings to him.
"Everyone, can I have a moment with Yuma alone please?" Rio asked her friends, keeping her eyes on her boyfriend, much to his and everyone else's slight confusion. "Umm… okay?" Tori answered in a confused voice, before she, Bronk, Caswell, Cat, Taiki and Kairi walked out of the room, leaving Rio, Yuma and Astral alone with an unconscious Shark and the sleeping baby in Astral's hands.
"So Rio, what did you want to talk…" Yuma began, only to be interrupted by Rio suddenly hugging him with her arms wrapped around him and her head resting on his left shoulder. The teenage boy widened his eyes in surprise as his cheeks flushed bright red. "W-what are you…" The teenage boy began, only to be cut off by Rio as she spoke in a gentle voice.
"I love you". The Ice Queen confessed to her boyfriend with her eyes gently closed, making Yuma widen his eyes in disbelief, instantly losing his surprise. Even Astral slightly widened his eyes at Rio's confession to his partner. It was silent for a few moments before eventually, Yuma broke it. "Did you… really say that you love me?" The Syllables Duelist questioned his girlfriend in shock, which Rio answered instantly. "I did, and I meant it". The Blizzard Duelist answered her boyfriend, before she pulled back to look at him in the eye.
"I've felt this way for a while now. Ever since we met, I've had these feelings for you, but only realized them when you gave me my mother's pendant. These feelings continued to grow every day we spent with each other. That's why I'm not afraid to truly tell you how I feel anymore. I've fallen in love with you, and want to be with you for the rest of my life". Rio told her feelings to her boyfriend, much to his further disbelief. After a moment or two, he lifted his hands up and gentle laid them on Rio's cheeks.
"Rio, the day I met you was the day that my life began to change. You made me feel something that no one else had made me felt, and I wanted to be with you. The more time we spent together, the more my feelings for you grew. Whenever I was with you, I was happy, and seeing you happy made my heart beat. Before I knew it, I fell in love with you". Yuma told his girlfriend with a gentle voice, getting Rio to both blush and smile at him, before she brought up her hands and placed them on her boyfriend's cheeks.
"So does that mean…?" Rio questioned with a gentle smile on her face, which Yuma nodded with his own smile. "That's right. I love you too, Rio". The Syllables Duelist confessed to his girlfriend, getting her to cry tears of joy that the boy she loved also loved her. The two then leaned in and claimed each other's lips in a loving kiss. Rio moaned in pleasure from her boyfriend's lips and wrapped her arms around his neck, while Yuma wrapped his around her waist.
Astral watched with a small smile on his face, before it fell from remembering Enna's lips. 'Enna…' Astral said in his mind, his heart longing for his beautiful wife that he's come to love again. He looked down at his sleeping son and smiled a little bit. Unknown to everyone was that the door was slightly opened with Kairi watching everything from the other side. The little girl had a bright smile at seeing her parents' love for each other, and hoped that they, along with her, would be together for a long time.
(Music end/ Back with Luna)
Back inside the lab at the harbor, Luna was standing up, watching Orbital 8 five feet away with her arms crossed. Suddenly, the female robot gave out a cry of surprise. "W-well I'll be rebooted!" The female robot exclaimed in surprise, getting Luna to raise an eyebrow at her outburst. "What's got you so hyped up?" The Moon Duelist questioned her robot companion, knowing she wasn't one to cry out like that without a reason.
"T-The pendant has its own g-gravitational field inside!" Orbital 8 told her mistress in a surprised voice, increasing Luna's curiosity. "Its own field, huh? This is getting interesting". Luna stated with a small smirk on her face. Orbital 8 went back to typing away as a screen appeared and showed the Empress's Key. "You bet it is! Just check it out! The field is generating an inter-dimensional link between this world and somewhere else". The female robot told the Moon Duelist as the screen zoomed in on the gem at the top, before showing a sort of portal with hexagons around it.
Luna widened her eyes in surprise as she unfolded her arms. "Could this be a portal to Astral World? Open the link; I want to see what's on the other side!" The Moon Duelist told her robot companion, wanting to see where this will lead. "I'm on it!" Orbital 8 replied to her mistress, before she began typing away, intending to find a way to open the portal.
(Back with Yuma and Rio)
Yuma, Rio, Tori, Bronk, Caswell, Cat and Taiki were in front of their teacher, Mr. Kay in their classroom with the sun setting for the day. Earlier, after Yuma and Rio had finishing kissing, they, along with Tori, Bronk, Caswell, Cat and Taiki had planned their next move. Caswell came up with an idea on how to track the key down, so they set out to their school to meet up with their teacher. Rio had told Kairi to stay in the hospital to keep a watch on Shark. The little girl was upset at first, but didn't go against Rio's wish as she knew that she wouldn't be much help as she's too young.
They had all rushed over to their school and met up with Mr. Kay in their classroom, where they explained the situation to him. Everything has all lead to here, with the teacher staring at his students in surprise at their request. "You want me to track down a crook?" Mr. Kay questioned in surprise, standing in front of his students with Yuma, Rio and Caswell at the front. "We're counting on you, Mr. Kay. All you have to do is upload a virus into the data net, and find the computer she's using". Caswell explained to his teacher, getting Mr. Kay to look away with an uncertain look.
"I don't know. After all, I'm a teacher, not a detective". The teacher said in an uncertain voice, his right hand holding his chin. "No way can we fail with your programming skills". The Student Council representative told his teacher with a certain tone. "But… even so…" Mr. Kay said in an unsure voice, only to be cut off by Rio. "Mr. Kay, please!" Rio exclaimed, getting Mr. Kay's attention as he looked at the Ice Queen and saw her bowing her head to him.
"Please help me save my brother and Enna and find Luna! I have to see her again, to ask her why she did all this! Please!" Rio begged the teacher with her eyes shut and in a desperate voice, getting Yuma to look at her in concern. Like Yuma, Mr. Kay looked at his former student in concern, having been told of her history with Luna.
"May I have a word in private?" Caswell requested as he grabbed hold of Mr. Kay's arm and walked a little bit away from the others, much to theirs and Mr. Kay's confusion. Once they were a little bit away from the others, Caswell let go of his teacher's arm and faced him. "Listen, I know you want to help…" Caswell began, before he closed his eyes with a smirk on his face.
"Especially after all the trouble you caused with your Crashbug virus". The blue haired youth finished with a smug look on his face, making Mr. Kay jolt a bit upon remembering the trouble he caused. "Crashbug!" The teacher exclaimed as he remembered the trouble he caused while under the control of a Number card. "I bet you feel pretty bad about all the chaos you caused around the city". The teenager added, giving his teacher an unspoken blackmail message.
Mr. Kay widened his eyes in concern, before he leaned down to Caswell, trying to whisper to him. "Not so loud, huh". The teacher whispered to his student, knowing that word got out that he was responsible; he'd be in big trouble. "But now's your chance to make up for it by helping us out!" Caswell replied to his teacher, making sure to be loud enough for everyone to hear, making Mr. Kay sigh in defeat. "Alright…" The teacher said in a defeated voice, getting Caswell to smirk in victory.
He turned to look at his friends and held his hands up above him. "He's going to help!" The blue haired boy told his friends, getting them all to smile in joy with Rio sighing in relief. "Alright!" Yuma exclaimed in joy, turning to face his girlfriend as she lifted her head up and had a smile. A few seconds later, Caswell and Bronk were pushing Mr. Kay out of the classroom with Cat following them. "Then let's hurry, Mr. Kay, quick!" The Class Representative exclaimed, pushing the surprised Mr. Kay to the library.
Yuma, Rio and Tori all rushed out of the classroom with the couple beginning to chase after their friends, only to be stopped by Tori. "Rio!" Tori called out to her best friend, causing Rio to stop and turn around to face her. Even Yuma stopped from hearing Tori call his girlfriend's name and turned to watch them. "What is it Tori?" Rio questioned her best friend, being able to tell that Tori wanted to talk to her from the tone in her voice.
The green haired girl stared at her best friend for a few moments, before she eventually spoke. "After we find out where Luna is, you're going after her? …And then you'll Duel her, right?" Tori questioned her best friend in a concerned voice, getting the Ice Queen to frown a bit. "I have to, Tori, especially if it means getting Enna and Reginald back". Rio answered the Fairy-Type Duelist, getting the younger female to look down with an uncertain look.
"I understand that… and it's about finding out about your old best friend… but… I'm afraid of what will happen to you… You've become my best friend, and the thought of losing you to someone scares me". Tori confessed to her best friend, getting Rio to grow an understanding look. She walked over to the younger female and placed her right hand on Tori's left shoulder, getting the Fairy-Type Duelist to look up at her.
Rio gave her best friend a reassuring smile. "Don't worry- it's gonna be alright. I won't lose to Luna, or Kite, so long as I have people like you waiting for me to come back. Just believe in me". Rio told her best friend, her voice full of confidence and conviction. Tori stared at her best friend in surprise for a moment, before she closed her eyes and smiled. "Hm…" The Fairy-Type Duelist hummed to herself, deciding to believe in her best friend. Behind Rio, Yuma watched the two girls with a happy smile, glad to see that the two of them have grown to care for each other.
A few minutes later, Yuma, Rio, Tori, Bronk, Caswell and Cat were all surrounding Mr. Kay as he worked on his computer. The seven of them were in a secret area of the library, which was dark with the only lights coming from the several screens as Mr. Kay worked on his computer virus. "You sure we should be hacking into the data net with a virus? Sounds kinda risky?" Bronk said in concern, knowing that they'll be in trouble if they were caught hacking.
Caswell turned to look at the Machine-Type Duelist and gave him a reassuring smile. "Relax Bronk. I promise this virus is totally harmless". The Crashbug Duelist reassured his friend, before he changed his smile into a frown. "It'll simply track all data net searches relating to Rio's key, and then pinpoint where they came from. Which should lead us directly to Luna's computer and to Rio's key". Caswell added as one of the screens showed a stream of data come together, before forming into Crashbug X.
"By using the virus made by Mr. Kay, we will definitely track down Rio's Empress's Key". The blue haired youth added as Crashbug X brought out two bombs, crackling its name, before he began multiplying into a thousand. "Hey, am I wrong, or does Mr. Kay's virus look an awful lot like the Crashbug virus?" Cat questioned in confusion, making Mr. Kay widened his eyes in panic, while Yuma and Rio's eyes were half lidded.
"You mean that virus that made the city grid go haywire?" Bronk questioned the cat girl, before Caswell quickly interrupted the conversation. "I'M SURE MR. KAY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT! Uhh, did you?" Caswell questioned his teacher, who had shut his eyes in panic, but quickly opened them with a nervous look and smile on his face, along with a nervous laugh. "You kids and your wild imaginations". The teacher said in a nervous voice as all the screens showed thousands of Crashbug X.
"Yes. The virus has been uploaded successfully. Fingers crossed everyone". Mr. Kay said with a smile as he brought up his right hand, before he brought it down and pressed a button. "Crashbug! Crash-bug-bug-bug! Crashbug" One of the Crashbug X monsters called out as it, along with the others, went flying into a portal with one of the screens showing them.
"We're counting on you, Crashbug!" Rio said with a smile, believing in the little monsters to find her old friend and her key. Yuma placed his right hand on his girlfriend's left shoulder, getting her to look up at him and saw his reassuring smile, getting her to return it. Floating up from above, Astral watched everyone with a concerned look, hoping that the virus would find his wife before it was too late.
(Opening song: Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal Masterpiece)
Lying down on Yuma's small table was the Emperor's Key with a few of his cards lying around nearby, including Gagaga Magician, Zubaba Knight and Gogogo Golem. The key let out a golden shine, before being grabbed by a familiar hand.
"Whether it's rainy, or windy, or a cold winter blizzard, or the burning sun,"
In a black area, a big red Z appeared with the letter zooming out, before it changed to Yuma rushing past a surprised Bronk on his skateboard. It changed to show Yuma and Rio at his house, sitting down on the couch and talking to each other with their cards in hand. Kari was walking past the two, watching them through the corner of her right eye, while Haru was enjoying a nice cup of tea. It changed once more to show Yuma repairing a fallen and damaged Litterbot, sitting down as he worked with Tori and Rio behind him, leaning down to watch him work.
"they're all ingredients to color each day. Don't lose heart, will or love."
In a black area, a big red E appeared with the letter zooming out, before it changed to show Yuma and Rio in class, sitting next to each other. The two of them were in the middle of a conversation, facing each other as they spoke. Tori and Caswell, who had been sitting in front of them, turned to look at the couple.
It changed to show Yuma, Rio and Tori all cleaning the hallway together. It changed once more to Yuma and Bronk in the middle of a duel with Rio, Tori and Caswell watching them.
"The kindness you gave me was strict, when we clashed I learned irritation."
In a black area, a big red A appeared with the letter zooming out, before it changed to show Yuma in a duel, holding up a card with his right hand's index and middle fingers with him already having his Duel-Eye tattoo and headset on. It changed to Yuma swiping his right hand to the left with his left hand out to the side with his Duel Disk on. It changed to show Yuma looking through the left corners of his eyes, holding his left hand out and his right hand in front of him with his right hand holding two virtual cards. Suddenly, his Emperor's Key let out a gold shine of light.
"It starts by recognizing our differences, dancing freely, the creation of Heaven and Earth."
In a black area, a big red, appeared with the letter zooming out, before it changed to show Yuma and Rio standing at the top of a bridge, looking over Heartland City together with proud smiles on their faces and the sun shining down on them. It changed to show many face down cards, before a spinning golden cross came down. Suddenly, it flashed a bright gold colour as it stopped in the middle. Then, the words 'ZEXAL' appeared with the cross being the x.
"The truth is, I was lonely. Until I met you."
The words "Yu-Gi-Oh!" appeared above the word "Zexal", before the words "Feeling the Ultimate Flow!" appeared underneath, before the background of face down cards changed to a bright white light. It changed back to Yuma and Rio at the top of the bridge. The Syllables Duelist swiped his right hand past his nose, while Rio waved her left hand through her hair.
Yuma fixed his new belt, before both him and Rio held up his left arms. On Yuma's Duel Disk was his advanced Duel Disk, while Rio had her D-Pad and Duel Disk on with her deck slotted in.
"I lied to myself that being alone was easier."
Yuma and Rio were running besides each other, before they leaped into the sky, heading towards the sun. In the middle of the street with a Litterbot passing by, Yuma and Rio were walking besides each other, both in their school uniforms and their bangs on. Suddenly, they were joined by Tori, Bronk, Caswell and Flip, much to the couple's slight surprise.
Tori jumped in from the left with Caswell running after her. Bronk rode on in on his skateboard, before he brought it up on his shoulders and held it there with his right hand. Flip just popped up from out of nowhere from above.
"My favorite books and hobbies, they don't seem to match."
Yuma and Rio smiled as they walked besides their friends. Tori and Caswell were walking next to Yuma on the left, while Bronk and Flip were walking besides Rio on her right. Suddenly, Cat appeared out of nowhere besides Rio and joined the group as they all walked to school together, before Yuma rushed forward with his girlfriend giggling at his actions.
It changed to show Yuma's picture of his parents, his father Kazuma Tsukumo and his mother, Mira Tsukumo, both in the middle of an adventure with Mira holding the Emperor's Key with her left hand.
In a bright blue background, Rio smiled widely as she spread her hands out and twirled around into the air with the Empress's Key waving out. From the Ice Queen's left, Tori and Kari appeared, while Kairi and Haru appeared on her right side.
"You were the only one to nod in agreement with me."
In a rainbow coloured world, Astral and Enna flew forward with their son, Epifanio, safely in his mother's arms. It changed to show Yuma and Astral standing back to back to each other with Rio and Enna doing the same thing as the males, besides them. Both Yuma and Rio were holding their keys with their right hands and were looking down at them, before they looked forward. It changed to show images of their lives with the first image being Astral pointing towards a sweat dropping Yuma with his right hand.
"Happiness and sadness and anger and Do and Re and Mi and Fa and So and La and Ti and Do,"
Rio was cooking a soup in her home, wearing a pink apron as she cooked. Enna watching her partner from above as Rio cooked. It changed to show Yuma was in the middle of a duel, looking eager as he swiped his right hand out to the right, while Astral was watching him from behind. It changed once more to show Rio tucking a sleeping Kairi into her bed, having a gentle smile on her face. From behind, Enna watched with Epifanio asleep in her arms.
Inside the Emperor's Key, the airship floated up in the sky above the blue glowing ground. At the rooftop of the Tsukumo household, Yuma, Rio, Astral and Enna were all staring up at the moon. Yuma and Rio were sitting down with the Ice Queen leaning her head on her boyfriend's left shoulder, while Astral and Enna were behind them, both wrapped in each other's arms with Enna's hair slightly blowing in the breeze.
"It doesn't work unless they're different, the harmony and the scenario."
It changed back to Yuma and Rio standing back to back with their partners. The four of them slightly widened their eyes and slightly turned their heads to look at their partners, before a bright light appeared and covered all four of them from view.
"No one is exactly the same,"
Yuma drew a virtual card from his Duel Disk with his right hand, before he spun around in a dramatic way in the air. Astral joined his partner, taking a pose in mid-air. It changed to show Rio standing on the ground, before swiping a card onto her Duel Disk with her right hand. Enna appeared besides her partner on her left, holding her right hand out.
"because that's the reason for living."
The Sparrow appeared, swiping his whip out with his right hand, causing several cards to appear and scatter around him. It changed to a dark alleyway with a spinning card in it, revealing itself to be Number 37: Hope Woven Spider Shark with black dust kicking up. In the dark alleyway was Shark walking down the street, turning to look over his left shoulder, showing his left blue eye.
"Even if the sounds are dissonant from time to time,"
Kite, in Photon Transformation, appeared with sparks of red electricity trailing behind him. He drew a card from his Duel Disk with his right hand, before holding it up and revealed that it was gleaming a bright colour, then grew a sadistic smirk on his face.
In front of Heartland Tower, Several unknown Numbers appeared and floated around, before Dr. Faker appeared in the middle of them with a mad grin on his face.
"don't give up on the strength that will get you through."
The screen zoomed past the streets of Heartland City in the night, zooming in towards the top of Heartland Tower, where Luna and Hart Tenjo were with the moon shining behind them and sparkles coming up from below the two siblings. Luna was behind her younger brother on her knees with her arms wrapped around Hart and her eyes closed, who had a blank look as he held up his left closed hand into the sky.
Hart opened his left hand and reached out to the sky, as if trying to grasp something. Luna took hold of her little brother's left hand with her left hand, holding it in a gentle way. It changed to show Yuma and Rio, standing back to back as they clashed their Duel Disks against Kite and Luna's with golden cards surrounding them. The clash of their Duel Disks was creating blue sparkles as they struggled to overpower each other.
"When we reach the edge of the world,"
Yuma and Rio's faces were filled with resolve as they clashed against their rivals. Kite and Luna let out fierce cries as they attempted to overpower Yuma and Rio, but the couple remained strong and let out fierce cries of their own.
The screen changed to show a bright green hill with flowers nearby. Yuma, Rio, Astral, Enna and Kairi were all together, looking up at the blue sky filled with clouds. Yuma and Rio were sitting down on the ground besides each other, while Kairi was lying down on her mother's lap on the right; fast asleep with the Ice Queen's left hand in her daughter's hair. Astral and Enna were behind their partners with their son asleep in the silver haired woman's left hand.
"the view we see will be the truth."
Rio, Enna and Kairi's hairs were blowing in the soft breeze. Yuma began to bring up his left hand, Rio with her right hand, Astral brought up his right hand and Enna lifted her right. The four partners brought their hands together, causing a bright light to appear from their joined hands.
"Whether it's rainy, or windy, or a cold winter blizzard, or the burning sun."
From the bright light appeared Zubaba General, swiping his greatsword out as the background changed to a bright blue one as he charged forward, followed up by Gagaga Samurai appearing from the right. The screen quickly changed to show Yuma's headset and Rio's Duel-Gazer, before it changed back to show the Warrior-Type Xyz Monster swiping his left katana forward, before he disappeared to reveal Ice Beast Zerofyne flying in from the left.
"They're all ingredients to color each day. Don't lose heart, will or love."
The screen quickly changed to show Rio's Duel-Pad activating, before changing back to show Ice Beast Zerofyne giving a cold gaze as she flew past with Ice Princess Zereort flying up from below. Ice Princess Zereort swung her weapon forward as she flew past, before Number 39: Utopia and Number 21: Frozen Lady Justice flying in from above.
Utopia drew one of his swords with his right hand, while Frozen Lady Justice drew her greatsword with her right hand. The two flew forward with the blue background changing to a bright white light.
"The kindness you gave me was strict, when we clashed I learned irritation."
The background changed to show a canyon as Utopia took ahold of his sword with both his hands, before he clashed against Number 17: Leviathan Dragon, who blocked the sword with its mouth with the number "17" flashing a yellow colour. Meanwhile, Frozen Lady Justice clashed against Number 52: Diamond Crab King, who used its right pincer to block her sword with the number "52" flashing a yellow colour.
The four Numbers struggled against each other, before the numbers "39" and "21" flashed a red and yellow colour as Utopia and Frozen Lady Justice broke free of Leviathan Dragon and Diamond Crab King, before they charged forward to their enemies.
"It starts by recognizing our differences, dancing freely, the creation of Heaven and Earth."
Four split screens appeared, showing the closed eyes of Yuma, Rio, Astral and Enna in them. Astral's right eye was at the top left, Enna's right eye was at the bottom left, Yuma's left was at the top right and Rio's left eye was at the bottom right. They all opened their determine eyes, before two cards appeared out of nowhere and covered them from view.
The two cards were brought down, revealing them all in the same canyon from before. Yuma and Astral were standing shoulder to shoulder with each other with Astral on the left, and Yuma on the right. Rio and Enna were besides them, both shoulder to shoulder as well, only Rio was on the left and Enna was on the right. Yuma was holding a hard with his right hand, while Rio was holding a card of her own with her left hand.
Yuma and Rio brought up their right and left hands with their partners following their movements with their hands, before they all began crying out. From the sky, electric blue lightning came down on the ground in front of them, causing a bright energy to burst from underneath, kicking up rocks and debris.
From the bright energy came a single glowing card that flew down in between the Emperor's Key and the Empress's Key. Yuma and Astral appeared in a pose together in front of the Emperor's Key with Yuma holding a card with his right hand. Rio and Enna appeared in front of the Empress's Key, back to back with their fingers interlocked together, along with them looking over their shoulders to look and smile at each other.
Two bright sparkles appeared between the four partners, before the Emperor and Empress's Keys let out a bright sparkle.
(Opening song finished)
Back inside Luna's lab, the Empress's Key let out electrical blue and silver sparkles of light as it spun around within the crystal. "Oh shock. Whoever built this thing really didn't want anyone uninvited coming in. Absolutely nothing is working, Mistress Luna". Orbital 8 told her mistress as she continued typing away, getting Luna to frown with her arms still crossed, still holding her ace monster's card with her right hand's index and middle fingers.
"I've tried every e-energy source on this p-planet, and the results are jack!" The female robot added with an annoyed tone, getting Luna to look down at her robot companion. "Guess that leaves no choice. We'll have to use a Baria crystal". The Moon Duelist told her robot companion, getting Orbital 8 to extend her neck to look at her mistress.
"By 'a', you mean my Baria crystal, right?" The female robot questioned her mistress, getting Luna to look down at her robot partner and nod with a stern look. "That's right. It came from the Barian World, not originally from Earth. Its energy may be what we need to activate this pendant". The Moon Duelist explained to her partner, narrowing her eyes in a dangerous way. Orbital 8 was silent as she stared at her mistress for a few moments, before she spoke.
"You do know that without my Baria Crystal, I'll cease to function". The female robot reminded her mistress as she retracted her neck and faced the crystal again. Luna softened her gaze as she looked down at her robot companion. "I know that, which is why I won't ask you to use your complete crystal. Just a little bit of it should do the job". The Moon Duelist told her partner in a reassuring voice, not wanting to put Orbital 8 in danger. The female robot turned her head to look at her mistress, before she gave a nod.
"At once Mistress". Orbital 8 replied to her mistress as she turned back to face the computer, causing Luna to grow an appreciated smile directed at her robot companion. "Thank you". The Moon Duelist thanked her robot companion as Orbital 8's front compartment opened, before her inner compartments began opening to her core. "J-Just get prepared for anything. Who knows what this'll cause". The female robot told her mistress as her core opened, revealing a bright, sparkling red light.
Orbital 8's right hand opened with a single cord coming out. The cord stretched out into her core, before it retracted and revealed to have a bright, sparkling red shard stabbed to it. A part of the computer opened up multiple small doors above the keyboards. The female robot placed the shard inside, causing the inside to let out its own bright, sparkling red light. The female robot retracted the card, before the multiple small doors above the keyboards closed.
Orbital 8 began typing away again at a fast rate. "Okay, now let's see what happens when we bring the two together". Orbital 8 remarked as the Baria Crystal floated up in the crystal towards the Empress's Key, before stopping in the middle. The Baria Crystal let out a bright red shine, before the crystal changed colours to red with the Empress's Key releasing sound waves as it spun.
Orbital 8's right eye extended to get a closer look. "Would you look at t-that! I-it's working! The pendant is reacting to the Baria Crystal's energy field. I'm not too sure, b-but it appears that the pendant's internal gravity is warping. The readings are quite unusual". Orbital 8 said in amazement as she looked at two screens, before looking back up at the crystal as the Baria Crystal began flying up to the Empress's Key.
"Mistress, look". The female robot told Luna as the Baria Crystal made contact with the Empress's Key, causing a bright light, before unleashing a silver beam that bypassed the crystal and struck the air to the side over the edge. The silver beam transformed into a silver swirling portal of sorts. Luna stared at the portal in awe with her hair blowing from the breeze that the portal was creating.
"Do you realize what this is, Orbital 8?" The Moon Duelist questioned her robot companion in awe, getting Orbital 8 to twirl her chair around to look at the portal. "I believe so. This portal could lead to Astral World itself". The female robot answered her mistress, before turning to look at the teenage girl. "You're planning to go in, aren't you?" Orbital 8 questioned her mistress, getting Luna to turn her head right to look at her robot companion and nodded to her.
"Keep a watch on the portal on this side. I'm going in". The Moon Duelist told her robot companion, which Orbital 8 nodded to her. "Understood. In that case, you'll need this". The female robot told her mistress, before she fired Luna's Duel Disk from her head into the air. The Duel Disk spun around into the air, before Luna held up her left arm, causing it to fly towards her forearm and attached itself to her.
Luna lowered her left arm and brought out her deck with her right hand, before she slotted it into her Duel Disk's Deck Zone. Luna turned to face the portal, but had one last thing to tell her partner. "If Rio Kastle comes here, let her in. If she has friends, only allow her in here". The Moon Duelist told her robot companion without facing her. Orbital 8's face fell for a moment, before she looked up at her mistress.
"As you wish, Mistress". The female robot replied to the Moon Duelist, getting Luna to grow an excited smile on her face, before she took off running towards the silver portal. She jumped into it, before she turned in particles within it and disappeared from sight. Orbital 8 looked back at the computer as multiple screens appeared, showing the outside of the building. "I don't understand why Mistress wants her old friend to come here. I know that their c-confrontation will just hurt her even more than before". The female robot said in concern for her beloved mistress, knowing that she'll get even more hurt if her former best friend came here.
Orbital 8 continued to watch the screens to keep a lookout for her mistress's old friend, secretly wishing that Rio wouldn't come so that Luna wouldn't be in more pain than before.
(Inside the Empress's Key)
Inside the Empress's Key, blue partials came together, before forming into Luna, who landed on her feet. The Moon Duelist rose to her feet and looked around herself. She saw that she was in a field full of grass with flowers next to a mountain edge, overlooking a beautiful blue ocean. The teenage girl looked up and saw the sky in a dark blue colour of sorts. Finally, she looked down and saw blue sparkles of sorts floating up from the ground towards the sky.
"Is this Astral World?" Luna questioned in awe as she looked around the scenery. A sudden soft growl caught the Moon Duelist's attention, causing her to look down at her Duel Disk and saw the Extra Deck Zone of it having a white glow coming out. Luna widened her eyes, having a good idea what the cause of the glow was. Her Extra Deck opened and a single white glowing card came out.
Luna picked the card up with her right hand and held it up in front of her, seeing that it was her ace, Moon Dragon Selene. "Selene, what's wrong?" The Moon Duelist questioned the card, before she widened her eyes as the card glowed more brightly. White sparkles came together, before it formed into Moon Dragon Selene, getting Luna to look up at the Xyz Monster in surprise. "Moon Dragon Selene!" Luna exclaimed in surprise to see her ace monster take her true form in this world.
'Luna, follow me'. Moon Dragon Selene said to her Duelist, her voice being the same one from before in Luna's Duel against Shark. The Xyz Monster turned around and began walking off in a random direction. Luna had a slightly confused look on her face, before she began walking after her Xyz Monster, deciding to trust the Dragon-Type Monster.
(Back in the Human World/ Heartland School)
Everyone stared at a single screen of the city as a red wave spread out from the middle of the city, searching for Luna's whereabouts. "The virus is searching for Luna's computer. Come on, find it". Mr. Kay said as he continued to type away on his keyboard. Rio grew a worried look on her face, but kept her belief in her teacher to find her old friend.
Inside the network, a squad of Crashbugs were flying around together, all of them still holding the bombs in their hands and calling out their names. "Bug?" A single Crashbug said as he stopped in mid-air and turned left, having spotted something. A single blue light was flashing in the green data world's sky. "Crashbug! Crashbug-bug-bug" The little monster called out in joy with a music symbol appearing over its head, before it began flying towards the blue light.
Back in the real world, the screen finally showed a location. "The virus has detected something!" Mr. Kay exclaimed as three screens popped up, showing a smaller map than the previous one. "We're in luck!" The teacher added as another screen popped up, this time showing a single warehouse.
"The data stream leads to a single warehouse that's owned by Mr. Heartland". Mr. Kay told his students as they all gathered around to look at the screen showing the warehouse. "That has to be where the Empress's Key is!" Yuma said with narrowed eyes, before he turned around to look at Rio, only to widen his eyes upon seeing that she was gone. "Rio!" The 13-year-old called out in surprise, getting everyone's attention as they looked and saw that the Ice Queen was already gone.
Outside of Heartland School, Rio was running down the stairway in a quick pace. As much as she wanted to head to the warehouse now, she needed to return to her home to pick up her Duel Disk and Deck. She brought out her Duel-Gazer with her left hand and quickly typed a message to her boyfriend, telling him where she's going. 'Enna, Luna, I'm coming'. Rio said in her mind with narrowed eyes, eager to get to the warehouse as soon as possible to confront her old best friend.
(Back inside the Empress's Key)
It has been 20 minutes since Luna first entered the Empress's Key and began following her ace monster as it lead her further down the lush green field. Eventually, Moon Dragon Selene stopped walking and growled at something up ahead, getting Luna to look up at her ace monster in confusion, before she lowered her head to see what the Xyz Monster was growling at.
To Luna's complete surprise, she saw an Astral World being standing 10 feet away from her. It was a beautiful woman that had Astral World skin with long straight silver hair with blue highlights with two round light blue hair pins. She had pure yellow eyes, three light blue gems on her neck with a blue cocker. She wore a beautiful white and dark blue sleeveless dress and dark blue V shaped arm bands on her biceps.
The woman was facing Luna and Moon Dragon Selene with an unfazed look on her face, despite the Xyz Monster's growling directed at her. Then, twelve cards appeared around the beautiful woman, facing Luna and Moon Dragon Selene as well. The Moon Duelist looked and saw that all the floating cards were Number cards. "Twelve Number cards, huh". Luna said to herself, before she focused her eyes on the woman before her and smirked.
"So, you must be the visitor from Astral World, the Original Number, correct?" Luna questioned the woman before her, only to be surprised when she shook her head in response. "You're both correct, and incorrect. I am from Astral World, but I am not the Original Number". The female Astral World being told the Moon Duelist, getting Luna to widen her eyes in surprise, before she narrowed them at the woman before her.
"If that's the case, then who are you?" Luna questioned the woman before her with a hostile tone, one that the female Astral World being didn't flinch at. "My name is Enna, and I am the wife of the Original Number". Enna revealed who she was to Luna, getting the Moon Duelist to widen her eyes in surprise at her identity.
Enna then narrowed her eyes at the Moon Duelist, as if she was looking into her soul with cold eyes. "So, you're Luna. The girl that was once Rio's best friend". The silver haired woman stated, further surprising the teenage girl, before she narrowed her eyes at Enna. "How do you know my name?" Luna questioned Enna, wondering how she knew her name, and how she used to be best friends with Rio.
Enna softened her gaze as she looked up at the sky above them. "Rio told me all about you, and the history you two shared together". The silver haired woman answered the Moon Duelist, before her mind thought back to when she first learned about Luna.
(Flashback)
Rio was tucking a peacefully sleeping Kairi into her bed with a soft smile on her face, while Enna was behind her partner, looking around the Ice Queen's room with a curious look. Just then, the silver haired female noticed a picture at Rio's desk. She walked over to her partner's desk and picked the picture up with both her hands.
The picture showed a much younger Rio and Shark, but they weren't alone as there was another human female with them. The young Rio was wearing a lilac long sleeve bell shaped dress with a white frilly hem. The young Shark was wearing a navy vest over a light gray shirt and white long pants. Finally, the unknown female looked to be around their age. She had short black hair with pink at the top. She had green eyes and a sort of pale skin. Finally, she was wearing a pink sleeveless high collar jacket over a long sleeve white shirt, a white skirt over black stockings.
In the picture, Rio had a happy look with her eyes closed as she pushed the unknown girl to Young Shark's chest, with him and the unknown girl having wide eyes and flushed cheeks. Enna stared down at the happy look of her partner's younger self and grew curious. The silver haired woman turned around to look at her partner and saw Rio giving the sleeping Kairi a goodnight kiss on the forehead.
"Rio, can I ask you about this?" Enna questioned her partner, getting Rio to grow a curious look as she turned around to face the female Astral World being, before she widened her eyes in surprise at seeing the photo in her hands. "Hey, you found my photo". The Ice Queen said in surprise as she walked over to Enna. The silver haired woman handed the photo over to her partner, which Rio held it with both her hands and looked down at the picture with a sad smile.
"Who is that girl with you and your brother?" Enna questioned her partner in a curious voice, getting Rio to lift her head to look at her. "This is Luna. She used to be mine and Reginald's best friend". The Ice Queen answered her partner with a happy and sad voice, before she looked down at the photo again. "We meet her in the park a few years ago. Reginald and I were looking through some new cards of ours, but a sudden change in the wind blew one of mine away. I almost lost it, but Luna came out of nowhere and caught it. She returned my card to me, and we officially became friends". Rio told her partner how she met her best friend and how they became friends.
Enna listened to her partner carefully and saw the sad and happy expression on her face. "She must have meant a lot to you and your brother". The silver haired woman assumed, which Rio nodded to her without turning to face her. "You have no idea. To be honest, she's the girl that Reginald is in love with". Rio revealed to her partner, causing Enna to widen her eyes in surprise. The Ice Queen lifted her right hand up, before she laid it down on the picture frame, right at Shark and Luna.
"Reginald was always so happy with her. Luna always brought out a side of him that I've never seen before as he always had a happy smile whenever we're with her. He was always eager to see and spend time with her. Luna, Reginald and I always played Duel Monsters with each other, and out of the three of us, I always lost to the two of them". The Ice Queen continued to tell her partner about her best friend and their history together. "She became my best friend, and I even hoped that she'd become my sister someday. But eventually, those happy days came to an end". Rio finished as her expression became fully sad, causing Enna to grow immediately concerned for her partner.
"What happened? Did she get hurt?" The silver haired woman asked in concern, which Rio shook her head in response. "Nothing like that. One day when my parents took Reginald and I to visit Luna in the orphanage she was in, she wasn't there anymore. We asked the caretaker what happened to Luna, and she told us that she was adopted by a family. That was years ago, and I haven't heard from her since". Rio told her partner in a sad voice, before she walked over to her desk with Enna watching her place the photo gently down on her desk.
Rio stared down at the photo of her, Shark and Luna together, before a single tear left her left eye, showing just how sad she was. "I'd give anything to see Luna again. I miss her so much". The Ice Queen said with her voice full of sadness, getting Enna to frown in concern for her partner. As she stared at Rio, she felt her heart swell for her and wished she could do something for her.
(Flashback end)
Enna lowered her face and looked back at Luna and her dragon with narrowed eyes. "Rio carried deep sadness in her heart for years, thinking that she'd never see you again. And instead of giving her a happy reunion of any sorts, you attempted to take her brother's soul from him". The silver haired female said with a bit of hostility in her voice, once again making Luna widen her eyes in surprise.
"Hold up!? How do you even know about that?" The Moon Duelist questioned her opponent, wondering how Enna knew about her and Shark's Duel. Instead of answering Luna's question, a single card floated in front of Enna, but it wasn't any random card. The Moon Duelist widened her eyes in surprise upon seeing the card was Number 37: Hope Woven Dragon Spider Shark. 'That's Reginald's Number card!' Luna exclaimed inside her mind in surprise, staring at the Number card in disbelief.
Spider Shark's card floated to the side, clearing Luna's blocked view of Enna and allowing her to see the silver haired woman's angered frown. "Rio told me how much you meant to Reginald Kastle, so why did you try to take his soul? Did he really mean nothing to you?" Enna questioned the Moon Duelist with a slightly angered voice; getting Luna to narrow her eyes in rage at the female Astral World being's words.
(Play Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's OST - Aki Izayoi Battle)
"Don't talk as if you know what I'm going through!" Luna snapped in an enraged voice as she swiped her right hand out to the side, before pointing towards Enna with her left hand's index finger. "I loved Reginald with all my heart! That's why my heart is breaking because of what I nearly did to him!" The Moon Duelist added, getting Enna to slightly widen her eyes for a moment, before she narrowed them again.
"If that's true, then why did you try to steal his soul?" Enna questioned the Moon Duelist, but Luna just kept her eyes narrowed and her left hand still pointing at her. "That's something an outsider like you has no business knowing about! Moon Dragon Selene! Take her out!" Luna commanded her Xyz Monster, which Moon Dragon Selene gave out a powerful roar, before it began flying towards Enna with her mouth wide open. Despite the approaching danger, Enna didn't even flinch as Moon Dragon Selene drew closer to her.
Suddenly, something flew in from out of nowhere and stopped Moon Dragon Selene in her tracts. Luna had wide eyes as she looked at what stopped her ace monster. It was Number 21: Frozen Lady Justice that stopped Moon Dragon Selene. The Dragon-Type Xyz Monster had her mouth chomped on Lady Justice's sword, who was holding on to the handle and the end of the blade with both her hands, keeping Moon Dragon Selene from advancing any further.
Both Frozen Lady Justice and Moon Dragon Selene's eyes were narrowed as they attempted to overpower each other, but it was a stalemate between the two. "You're wrong about me being an outsider. I am Rio's partner, meaning that anything that involves her, also involves me". Enna told the Moon Duelist with a deadly serious voice, her face in the form of a frown and her eyes dangerously narrowed.
Luna turned to look back at Enna with her teeth gritted against each other. "So, in other words, I just need to defeat you to take all the Numbers that Rio has collected, meaning I won't need to Duel her then!" The Moon Duelist exclaimed, before swiping her left hand into the air with her Duel Disk activating. Moon Dragon Selene gave another growl, before she transformed into white beam of energy that shot out towards Luna's Duel Disk. The beam struck, but didn't do any harm as it slowly disappeared.
"What you say may be true, but I have no plans of handing the Numbers over to you. These Numbers contain my husband's memories, and I refuse to give any of them to you". Enna replied to the Moon Duelist as she slowly brought up her left arm and held it out to the side. A bright light appeared over Enna's left forearm, before it cleared to reveal a blue, unknown sort of Duel Disk. (Just imagine a Duel Disk like Astral's Duel Disk)
All the floating cards turned into bright blue beams that shot out towards Enna's Duel Disk, striking it, but doing no harm. Frozen Lady Justice took a hold of her scabbard with her left hand and returned her sword into it, before she transformed into a blue beam that shot out towards Enna's Duel Disk. The beam struck, yet did no harm to it. Finally, a deck slot appeared, before a bright blue light appeared over it. The blue light disappeared to reveal a deck of cards slotted in, but these weren't random cards, these were Rio's cards.
"Get ready to brawl! Go Moon Transformation!" Luna called out as her body was covered in a silvery white aura as her entire outfit changed to silvery white, including a white Duel Tattoo appearing on her left eye. Her deck proceeded to shuffle for a few seconds, before suddenly stopping. "Hope you're good at subtraction, because you're about to lose your Numbers!" The Moon Duelist called out as she swiped her left arm out to the side, before she slightly floated up from the ground.
"If anybody is gonna be losing their Numbers, it'll be you!" Enna retaliated at Luna, before she looked down at her Duel Disk and deck of cards with eyes full of hesitation. She shook her head sideways, before she lifted it and glared up at Luna. 'I refuse to be afraid anymore. I will battle once more, just like how I used to besides Marin'. The silver haired woman thought to herself with conviction, refusing to allow fear to control her. "Let's Duel!" Enna and Luna called out as they drew their starting hand with their right hands, before they transferred them over to their left hands.
Enna Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 5.
Luna Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 5.
(Music end/ Meanwhile with Rio)
Rio, fully dressed in her casual outfit instead of her school uniform, was running down atop a walkway bridge as fast as she could. Not too long ago, she had made it back to her house and geared up for her confrontation against her former best friend. While she was at it, she had changed into her normal outfit, feeling more comfortable wearing that instead of her school uniform.
'Luna… Enna…' The Ice Queen said in her mind, thinking about her former best friend and her partner. Just then, her left eye caught something at the corner, getting Rio to stop running and look down at the source. There was a shining blue light coming from her jacket's left pocket, getting the Ice Queen to frown in confusion. "What in the world?" Rio questioned in confusion as she placed her left hand into her jacket's pocket and grabbed hold of the source. She brought out her left hand and opened it, revealing her cards to be the source of the glowing.
"My cards…?" Rio said in confusion, staring down at her cards as they continued to glow. "Rio!" A familiar voice called out to the Ice Queen, getting Rio to lift her head and saw Yuma, Tori, Bronk, Cat, Caswell and Taiki all running towards her with Astral flying up from above them. Out of all of them, Yuma had changed to his casual outfit, while the others had stayed in their school uniforms.
"Everyone". Rio softly said as her boyfriend, his partner and friends stopped in front of her. "You can't just rush off like that! This isn't something you can pull on your own, we need to stick together!" Yuma scolded his girlfriend with a frown, getting Rio to slightly widen her eyes in surprise since throughout their relationship, she was never usually the one scolded. Rio lowered her head down in shame as she realized that her boyfriend was right.
"I'm sorry. My body just moved on its own without any thought of waiting for you guys". Rio apologized in shame, feeling guilty that she didn't bother to wait for her friends. Yuma gave a sigh, before he grew an understanding smile on his face. "It's alright, I understand how important that this was to you. Just remember, you're not alone, you've got friends with you that are more than willing to help you". Yuma told his girlfriend, gesturing to Tori and the others with his right hand, which everyone nodded in agreement.
Rio lifted her head to look up at her friends and saw their supporting looks, making the Ice Queen grow a heartfelt smile on her face. "Thank you, everyone". Rio thanked her friends with a soft voice, happy to have friends just like them with her. Everyone smiled at the Ice Queen, even Astral himself, but Tori then took notice of Rio's cards glowing within her left hand.
"Rio! What's wrong with your cards?" The Fairy Duelist questioned her best friend as she pointed towards Rio's cards with her left hand's index finger. Tori's words caught everyone's attention as they turned to look at the Ice Queen's left hand and saw her deck glowing shining blue colour. Rio looked down at her deck and opened her mouth to answer Tori, but Astral beat her to it.
"Enna's using your cards! She must be in the middle of a Duel!" Astral exclaimed with wide eyes of concern, getting Yuma and Rio to look up at him in alarm. "Oh no! There's not much time!" Rio exclaimed in alarm, before she returned her deck to her jacket's pocket, then turned around and ran off. "Rio!" Bronk exclaimed in surprise, before he and everyone else chased after the Ice Queen. Astral flew after his wife's partner, flying besides his own partner and getting Yuma to turn his head slightly to the right to look up at him.
"Astral! How good of a Duelist is Enna?" The Syllables Duelist questioned his partner as he continued to chase after Rio as she lead the way, getting Astral to look back at him. "I don't know. She's given Rio advice from time to time, but her skills as a Duelist are unknown as she's never spoken about having any skills as a Duelist". Astral answered his partner in an uncertain voice, having no idea of his wife's Dueling capabilities. Yuma slightly gritted his teeth in response, before he turned to look back at his girlfriend's back as she continued to lead the way.

Enna Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 5.
Luna Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 5.
Enna and Luna continued to glare at each other with narrowed eyes, floating slightly above the grassy ground with the sparks still floating up to the sky. A sudden gust of wind appeared out of nowhere, blowing both females' hair in the breeze, before Enna lifted her right hand and placed it on the top card of her deck. "I'll take the first move. I draw!" The silver haired woman called out as she drew her card in a dramatic fashion with her right hand's index, middle and thumb fingers.
Enna held the card in front of her to take a look at it, before she held the card it. It was a Spell card with the image showing two face-down cards frozen in ice. "To start this Duel off, I activate the Spell card Cards from the Arctic!" The silver haired woman called out as the Spell card in her hand dispersed into particles, before a larger version of it appeared in front of her.
(Cards from the Arctic/ Type: Spell/ Effect: Remove from play 1 WATER monster in your hand and draw 2 cards. You cannot conduct your Battle Phase the turn you activate this card)
"By removing a Water monster from my hand from play, such as Guard Penguin…!" Enna began as she held up Guard Pegnguin's card between her right hand's index and middle fingers, before it dispersed into particles. "I get to draw 2 more cards from my deck!" The silver haired woman continued as she drew 2 more cards from her deck with her right hand and held them up for her to see what they were.
"However, I cannot conduct my Battle Phase on the turn that this card was activated". Enna finished explaining, getting Luna to raise an eyebrow at her. 'Impressive. She turned a disadvantage into an advantage'. The Moon Duelist said in her mind, impressed with how well Enna was doing so far.
"Now, I activate the effect of Frozensaurus from my hand!" Enna called out as she held one of the card that she drew up with her index and middle fingers, while she kept ahold of the other card with her ring and pinkie fingers. It was a monster card with the image showing a blue skin carnotaurus with crystal blue eyes. There were pieces of ice coming out of the dinosaur's body, like two ice horns at the top of its head, two icicle blades sticking out of its knees and finally, icicle spikes erupting out of its back, going from the back of its neck all the way to its tail.
(Frozensaurus/ Level: 4/ Attribute: Water/ Type: Dinosaur/ Effect/ ATK Points: 1800/ DEF Points: 1000/ Effect: You can discard this card to the graveyard; add 1 'Land of Frozen Flames' from your deck to your hand)
The blue skin carnotaurus appeared in front of Enna, before it roared into the sky. "By discarding this card to the graveyard, I can now add a Land of Frozen Flames Field Spell from my deck to my hand!" The silver haired woman explained her monster's special ability as Frozensaurus erupted into blue sparkles. The blue sparkles gathered into Enna's deck, causing it to glow a blue colour, before a card slotted out of it, which Enna took a hold of with her right hand's index and middle fingers.
"And now, I'll activate the Field Spell card!" The silver haired woman called out as the Spell card dispersed from between her fingers. The scenery around both Enna and Luna transformed into the Land of Frozen Flames Field Spell, getting Luna to turn her head left and right to look at the field around her.
"Now, I Summon Blizzard Swan in ATK Position!" Enna called out, placing the card between her right hand's ring and pinkie fingers onto her Duel Disk's side. Blizzard Swan's card materialized in front of Enna, before it glowed with the Winged Beast monster flying up from the glow.
Blizzard Swan ATK Points: 1300/ Level: 3.
"When the Land of Frozen Flames is in play, Water Attribute monsters are treated as two monsters for an Xyz Summon! I Overlay the Level 3 Blizzard Swan and create the Overlay Network!" Enna called out, thrusting her right hand up into the sky as Blizzard Swan transformed into a bright blue light and flew into the air. A galaxy portal appeared in the sky between the two Duelists, which the bright blue light flew into it, causing a bright light to erupt from within it.
"Xyz Summon! Appear Number 49: Fortune Tune!" Enna called out as the number '49' gleam a light green colour, before the seal form of Number 49 appeared from the galaxy portal. The sealed form was a normal sized blue egg with a golden branch stabbed into it and one green overlay unit circling around it. The egg began to hatch with the egg shells disappearing to reveal Fortune Tune, who took ahold of the golden branch with its beak. Fortune Tune gave out a cheerful cry as it flew towards Enna and landed on her left shoulder.
Number 49: Fortune Tune DEF Points: 900/ Rank: 3/ Overlay units: 1.
Luna narrowed her eyes at the sight of Fortune Tune, but kept quiet and allowed Enna to continue. Enna looked down at the four cards remaining in her hand, before she picked one card with her right hand and held it out. "Now I activate the Spell card, Birds of a Cold Feather!" The silver haired woman called out as she slotted the card into her Duel Disk, before the Spell card materialized on the field.
"With this card, if I control a Winged Beast Xyz Monster, I can select and Special Summon two Winged Beast monsters from my deck to the field in DEF Mode!" Enna explained the Spell card's effect, before her deck began glowing blue. "And I think I'll Summon Blizzard Falcon and Freezing Mother Bird!" The silver haired woman made her choices as two portals appeared in front of her.
Blizzard Falcon came out of one of the portals, while a new monster appeared from the second portal. It was a large white skin laysan albatross, easily the same size as Blizzard Falcon. It had crystal blue eyes, a white beak and icy green wings and fathers. Finally, it had white talons and an icy green tail.
(Freezing Mother Bird/ Level: 5/ Attribute: Water/ Type: Winged Beast/ Effect/ ATK Points: 800/ DEF Points: 800/ Effect: If you successfully Normal or Special Summon a Level 5 Water Attribute monster from your hand or Graveyard, you can Special Summon this card from your hand, or graveyard, but it is banished when it leaves the field. You can banish this card from your Graveyard from play and Special Summon one Winged Beast monster from your Graveyard)
"However, the monsters that are Summoned by my Spell's effect are removed from play when they leave the field, but that won't be an issue!" Enna further explained her Spell card's effect, before swiping her right hand into the air. "Now, I Overlay the Level 4 Blizzard Falcon!" The silver haired woman called out as Blizzard Falcon transformed into a bright blue light and flew into the air. A galaxy-like portal appeared on the ground between the two Duelists, which the bright blue light flew into it, causing a bright light to emerge from within.
"With Blizzard Falcon, I create the Overlay Network! Xyz Summon! Appear Number 52: Diamond Crab King!" Enna called out as the number '52' flashed a yellow colour, before the sealed form of Diamond Crab King appeared from within the galaxy portal. It was some kind of giant diamond with a single brown overlay unit circling around it. The diamond then proceeded to transform into Number 52: Diamond King Crab with the Rock-Type monster giving out a screech.
Number 52: Diamond Crab King DEF Points: 3000/ Rank: 4/ Overlay units: 1.
"I'm not done yet! I now Overlay the Level 5 Freezing Mother Bird!" Enna called out as she brought her hand down in front of her, before Freezing Mother Bird transformed into a bright blue light and flew into the air. A galaxy-like portal appeared on the ground between the two Duelists, which the bright blue light flew into it, causing a bright light to emerge from within.
"With this single monster, I create the Overlay Network one more time! Xyz Summon! Appear, Number 19: Freezerdon!" The silver haired woman called out, holding up Freezerdon's card with her right hand's index and middle fingers. The number '19' flashed a green colour, before the seal formed appeared. From the gold portal rose a spear tipped chunk of ice, before it began to transform into a gigantic ice dinosaur similar in appearance to Volcasaurus, which towered over the battlefield. But it was more of a walking ice sculpture than a dinosaur. It was completely blue, its arms and legs were large pillars of ice, the number 19 glowed brightly on its torso and on its tiny head, two green eyes radiated the same malice as its fiery counterpart. Freezerdon unleashed a powerful howl, before it took a defense stance.
Number 19: Freezerdon DEF Points: 2500/ Rank: 5/ Overlay units: 1.
Enna held up a card with her right hand, before she looked at her assembled monsters. "Okay, this is a good formation. I should be ready for whatever she throws. I end my turn with a face down!" Enna declared her turn over as she swiped the card that she was holding into her Duel Disk, before a face down card materialized in front of her.
(Music end)
Luna Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 5.
Luna grew an impressed look on her face, while she placed her right hand on her hip. "Not bad. I have to admit that you're pretty impressive, especially at using someone else's deck". The Moon Duelist said with a smirk on her face, getting Enna to narrow her eyes. "You really think I didn't notice that the cards you're using are Rio's cards. I've Dueled Rio a lot in the past to know what cards hers are. Do you really think that you can win with a deck of cards that I know like the back of my hand?" Luna questioned her opponent with a smirk, getting Enna to return it with her own smirk.
(Play Yugioh GX- Jaden's/Judai's Theme)
"It doesn't matter if you know what cards I use. What matters is how I use them". The silver haired woman replied to Luna, getting her to slightly widen her eyes in surprise, before she grew a confident smile on her face. "You're right about that. It doesn't matter what cards we use, it's how we use them that matters. Allow me to show you! I draw!" Luna called out as she drew the top card of her deck with her right hand's index, middle and thumb fingers.
"I'll start by Summoning Moon Magician!" The Moon Duelist called out as she placed the card she drew onto one of her Duel Disk's monster zone. A black portal appeared on the ground in front of Luna, before Moon Magician flew up from within it.
Moon Magician ATK Points: 1800/ Level: 4.
"Now if my opponent controls 2 or more monsters, I can Special Summon my Moon Gardna!" The teenage girl added as another portal appeared in front of her, before Moon Gardna appeared from within it.
Moon Gardna ATK Points: 100/ Level: 4.
Luna then swiped her right hand in front of her. "Now, I Overlay my Level 4 Moon Magician and Moon Gardna!" The Moon Duelist exclaimed, before her two monsters transformed into bright yellow lights that flew into the air. A red Xyz portal appeared in front of Luna, blowing her hair and skirt in the breeze. "With these two monsters, I build the Overlay Network!" Luna called out as the two yellow flights flew into the portal, causing a bright light to appear from within.
"I Xyz Summon Moon Instant Trapping Dragon!" Luna called out as her new monster flew out of the portal and into the air. It was a four legged, skinny white and black female dragon. It had a metallic coloured underbelly, two long skinny feet with five fingers and a long tail. On its back were two crescent moon shaped wings and a long tail. The tail was long and had a pointy razor blade attached to the top of it. On the middle, left and right side of the dragon's back were razor blades as well with her wings in between them. On the female dragon's face, she had a blade attached to her chin and had a horn corn. Her skin was pure white, but there were traces of black trims on her underbelly and on her back that split into two lines that went over her face and joined together at her nose. The Xyz Monster let out a roar as two yellow overlay units circled around her.

If the Xyz Material detach from this card was a "Moon" monster, draw 1 card from your deck)
"Your monster may be impressive, but it's no match for any of my monsters. You must have Summoned it because it has a powerful effect, correct?" Enna questioned her opponent with narrowed eyes, getting Luna to nod to her with her smirk still present. "That's right! Watch and behold as I activate Moon Instant Trapping Dragon's special ability!" The Moon Duelist called out, thrusting her right hand out as her dragon ate one of its overlay units.
"By using an Overlay Unit, I can now activate a Trap card from my hand!" Luna explained her monster's effect as she held up the four cards in her left hand, before she picked one up with her right hand and held it out to Enna, showing her that it was Rank Drop. "I choose the Trap card, Rank Drop. This card destroys all your monsters that has a rank". The teenage girl explained her Trap's effect, before she sent her Trap card to the graveyard zone of her Duel Disk.
A bright beam then shot out from Luna's Duel Disk, heading towards Enna and her three Xyz Monsters. "I activate Fortune Tune's special ability! If this face-up card would be destroyed, I can use an Overlay Unit to negate its destruction!" The silver haired woman explained her Xyz Monster's effect as Fortune Tune absorbed its overlay unit into the branch, before a golden aura surrounded the Winged Beast monster.
The bright beam blasted right through Diamond Crab King and Freezerdon, causing the two Xyz Monsters to cry out, before they were destroyed. Enna sent Diamond Crab King, Blizzard Falcon, Freezerdon and Freezing Mother Bird's cards to the graveyard zone of her Duel Disk, before she looked up at her opponent. "Because Blizzard Falcon and Freezing Mother Bird were Overlay Units for Crab King and Freezerdon, they're sent to the graveyard instead of being banished". The silver haired woman informed her opponent, but Luna didn't look like she cared.
"So, you saved one of your Numbers and your two birds, huh? Well I'm not done yet because Moon Instant Trapping Dragon's second effect activates! If the Overlay Unit I detach from her was a Moon Monster, I get to draw one more card!" Luna further explained her Xyz Monster's effect as she drew another card from her deck in a dramatic fashion with her right hand's index and middle fingers.
Luna had a natural expression on her face as she brought the card up to her face to look at what it was, before she grew a smirk at seeing what it was. "Now, I activate the Rank-Up-Magic Moon's Force Spell card!" The Moon Duelist called out as she flipped the card over, revealing it to be her Rank-Up-Magic card, causing Enna to widen her eyes in surprise.
"Already!?" The silver haired female exclaimed in surprise at seeing the Rank-Up-Magic so soon. "That's right! I'm assuming you know what it does, so I won't bother trying to explain it!" Luna told her opponent with a confident voice, before she held her Spell card up into the air. "With Moon's Force's power, I rebuild the Overlay Network with the Rank 4 Moon Instant Trapping Dragon!" The Moon Duelist called out, before her Spell card unleashed a bright white light.
Moon Instant Trapping Dragon gave out another roar as she transformed into a white light that descended into the air. A pure white galaxy-like portal appeared in the sky above the field, which the white light flew into it, creating a bright flash of energy to erupt from within. "Appear! Number 5: Doom Chimera Dragon!" Luna called out, holding an Xyz card up to the sky between her right hand's index and middle fingers.
The number '5' flashed a red colour, before the sealed form of Doom Chimera Dragon appeared from the galaxy portal. It was a large skeletal egg with a glowing red orb thumbing like a heart, the bones coiling around each other like chains. The egg's bones began uncoiling themselves as the orb remained, while the bones reformed into the large skeleton of a dragon. Soon, the red core began to beat loudly as purple fur began to extend from the spine down to the tail; several single thin feathers began to spread down the bone-like wings as if they had all been plucked dry. Around the giant bone protrusion on its back was the large crimson Number 5. Flesh began to form over the skull as did blue fire as its red eyes shined, letting loose a dangerous and malevolent roar with two black overlay units circling around it.
Number 05: Doom Chimera Dragon ATK Points: 0/ Rank: 5/ Overlay units: 2.
"Doom Chimera Dragon gains 1000 ATK Points for every Overlay Unit he has! Since he currently has 2 Overlay Units, that's 2000 ATK Points!" Luna explained her Number monster's special ability, before Doom Chimera Dragon gained a dark purple aura around itself, powering up.
Number 05: Doom Chimera Dragon ATK Points: 0 + 2000 = 2000.
"Go, Doom Chimera Dragon! Attack that little bird!" Luna commanded her Xyz Monster as she swiped her right hand to the side once more. Doom Chimera Dragon gave out a malevolent roar, before it breath out purple fire from its mouth. Fortune Tune quickly flew off Enna's shoulder and into the air, before the purple fire struck and reduced the Winged Beast Xyz Monster to ashes.
"Fortune Tune". Enna said lowly in slight sadness for the little Xyz Monster, while Luna kept smirking as she brought up her right fist in front of her. "I activate the inherited effect from Moon Force! When Doom Chimera Dragon destroys a monster, that monster becomes an Overlay Unit for him!" The Moon Duelist explained her Rank-Up-Magic card's additional as a portal appeared in front of Enna. A single black overlay unit flew out of the portal and flew towards Doom Chimera Dragon, before circling around it.
Number 05: Doom Chimera Dragon ATK Points: 2000 + 1000 = 3000/ Overlay units: 2 + 1 = 3.
"Now, I end my Battle Phase and go to Main Phase 2! However, Doom Chimera Dragon's additional effect activates now! When this card battled, I can activate one of two effects, and I'll go with option 1! I can target one monster in your Graveyard and attach it to Doom Chimera Dragon as an Overlay Unit!" Luna further explained her Xyz Monster's special ability, making Enna gasp in surprise, before she looked down at her Duel Disk as it began glowing a dark colour.
"So I think I'll take your Freezing Mother Bird!" The Moon Duelist declared her choice as a black overlay unit came out of Enna's Duel Disk and flew towards Doom Chimera Dragon, before it began circling around it.
Number 05: Doom Chimera Dragon ATK Points: 3000 + 1000 = 4000/ Overlay units: 3 + 1 = 4.
Luna then picked up two more cards from her hand and held them with her right hand's index and middle fingers. "And to finish my turn, I'm activating the Field Spell Level Denial and set a face down card!" The Moon Duelist declared her turn over as she slotted a card into her Duel Disk, before opening the Field Spell zone and placed a card into it.
(Music end)
The Land of Frozen Flames shattered around the field, returning to the grassy world of the Empress's Key, but no change came. "With Level Denial in play, monsters with a Level cannot attack anymore". Luna told her opponent her Field Spell's effect with a smirk, getting Enna to slightly narrow her eyes. 'This Field Spell will prove to be a problem. Now, only Xyz Monsters can attack'. Enna thought to herself, before she looked at the two cards in her hand. The cards she had in her hand were Blizzard Vision and Blizzard Lyrebird.
Enna Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 2.
'I have what I need to make a comeback, but it wouldn't hurt to have a bit of defense'. The silver haired woman said in her mind as she placed her right hand on the top card of her deck. "I draw". Enna said in a small voice as she drew her card in a simple fashion, before she held her card in front of her and saw that it was one of Rio's new cards.
She placed her new card in her hand, before she took Blizzard Lyrebird's card and held it out. "If you control monsters and I don't, I can Special Summon Blizzard Lyrebird from my hand!" Enna called out as she placed the card on her Duel Disk's side. Blizzard Lyrebird's card materialized in front of Enna, before it began glowing with the Winged Beast Monster floating out of the glow.
Blizzard Lyrebird ATK Points: 2000/ Level: 5.
Enna then picked up another card from her hand with her right hand and held it up, revealing it to be Blizzard Vision. "I activate the Spell card, Blizzard Vision! By targeting a WATER Monster, I can Special Summon this card as a Normal Monster with the same Type, Attribute and Level as the selected monster! I select Blizzard Lyrebird, and now my Blizzard Vision becomes a Level 5 monster!" The silver haired woman explained her Spell card's effect as he dispersed between her hand's fingers, before it materialized on her field.
The Spell card glowed as it dispersed into sparkles, before they came together and formed a copy of Blizzard Lyrebird.
Blizzard Vision ATK Points: 0/ Level: 5.
The two Blizzard Lyrebirds flew close besides each other with Enna in between them from behind. The silver haired woman then thrust her right hand into the air. "I now Overlay the Level 5 Blizzard Lyrebird and Blizzard Vision!" Enna called out to the heavens as her Blizzard Lyrebird and Blizzard Vision turned into bright blue lights that flew into the air.
A galaxy portal appeared on the ground in front of Enna, blowing her hair in the breeze. "With these two monsters, I build the Overlay Network! Xyz Summon! Appear, Number 94: Crystalzero!" Enna called out to the heavens as the two bright blue lights flew into the galaxy portal, creating an explosion of energy, before the number '94' flashed an icy green colour.
The sealed form of Crystalzero rose up from the portal. Crystalzero's sealed form was that of a dark blue and white snowflake. But it didn't remain like that for long as it transformed into its true form. Crystalzero was a tall woman with thin legs, cloaked in white and blue that formed a billowing skirt. A spiked headdress adorned her head with icicles at the tips, and four giant icicles dripping from her shoulder. Her legs were visible from her dress, having white icicle shoes of sorts and finally, she carried a saber made of ice with her right hand and had two light blue overlay units circling around her.
Number 94: Crystalzero ATK Points: 2200/ Rank: 5/ Overlay units: 2.
Crystalzero and Doom Chimera Dragon glared at the sight of each other, before the Warrior-Type monster swiped her right hand out to the side. "Nice monster, really pretty. But it won't stand a chance against Doom Chimera Dragon!" Luna exclaimed with a form on her face, getting Enna to slightly smile at her. "Perhaps normally, she wouldn't stand a chance, but she does have one now". The silver haired woman told her opponent with a confident tone, getting Luna to slightly widen her eyes.
"First, I'll set a face down card…" Enna began as she took the last card in her hand, before swiping in into her Duel Disk with a face down card materializing in front of her. "Now, I activate Crystalzero's special ability! By using one Overlay Unit, she takes away half of your monster's ATK Points! Go Crystal Eraser!" The silver haired woman continued as she thrust her right hand out in front of her, making Luna widen her eyes in surprise.
Crystalzero absorbed one of her overlay units into her sword, before she began charging towards Doom Chimera Dragon. Once she was close enough, she stopped mid-air and held her sword out to the Dragon-Type monster, firing a blue stream of energy at Doom Chimera Dragon, striking him and causing the Xyz Monster to cry out as his energy was drained.
Number 5: Doom Chimera Dragon ATK Points: 4000 – 2000 = 2000.
"Why stop at one, when you can do it again!" Enna called out as Crystalzero absorbed her second overlay unit, before she fired another blue stream of energy at Doom Chimera Dragon, further draining his power away.
Number 5: Doom Chimera Dragon ATK Points: 2000 – 1000 = 1000.
"Go, Crystalzero! Crush Doom Chimera Dragon with Crystal Slash!" Enna commanded her Xyz Monster as she swiped her right hand out to the side. Crystalzero's eyes flashed red, before she brought up her sword and charged at Doom Chimera Dragon once more. She swiped her sword down on Doom Chimera Dragon's face, slicing right through the bone face and causing the Dragon-Type monster to explode. (2200 – 1000 = 1200)
Luna Life Points: 4000 – 1200 = 2800.
Luna covered her face with her arms from the explosion, before it died down and she lowered her hands, allowing her to see Crystalzero floating in front of Enna once more. "With Doom Chimera Dragon destroyed, Fortune Tune and Freezing Mother Bird return to my graveyard. I'll end my turn here!" Enna declared her turn over, getting Luna to narrow her eyes at her opponent.
Luna Life Points: 2800/ Number of cards in hand: 1.
"My turn now! I draw!" Luna called out, drawing her card in a dramatic fashion with her right hand, before looking at what it was. "To start us off, I'll set a monster in face down DEF Position!" The Moon Duelist began as she placed the card on a Monster Zone of her Duel Disk, before a face down card in sideways position appeared on her field.
"Now I'll reveal the Trap, Clearing the Path!" The Moon Duelist continued, swiping her left hand out as her face down card flipped itself over, revealing that it was a Trap card. The image showed an Elemental HERO Avian tackling a Cyber Dragon out of the way for Elemental HERO Bladedge to pass through.
(Clearing the Path/ Type: Trap/ Effect: Select one monster in your Graveyard, remove it from play, then Special Summon another monster that's Level is twice the selected card's Level from your deck. If the monster that was Summon through this effect is destroyed, you can banish this card from the Graveyard to Special Summon a monster that has been removed from play on your side of the field)
"Here's how this Trap card works, so listen carefully. Be removing a monster from my graveyard from play, I can Special Summon another from my deck that's Level is twice than the removed from play monster's one!" The Moon Duelist explained her Trap card's effect, before she brought her right hand up, holding her Moon Magician's card with her index, middle and thumb fingers. "So, I'll just remove my Moon Magician from the game". Luna told her opponent as she placed her card away, before she took her deck out with her right hand and began searching through it.
After a moment, Luna picked up a single card with her left hand, before she returned her deck to her Duel Disk's deck zone, which began shuffling for a moment. "The monster I've chosen is my Moon Dragon Disciple!" Luna declared her choice as she took one of her two cards in hand, before she placed it on one of her Monster Zones.
A bright beam of light shot out of the Trap card towards the air. A dragon then flew out of the bright light and into the air. It was a humanoid female dragon that looked a bit like Moon Dragon Selene, including the pure white scales that shined like the moon. The only differences were that her tail didn't have three pronged spikes, only one instead, it had no crests on its head and finally, its eyes were electric blue. Moon Dragon Disciple gave out a roar as she stopped in mid-air, flying above the field
(Moon Dragon Disciple/ Attribute: Light/ Type: Dragon/ Effect/ Level: 8/ ATK Points: 2000/ DEF Points: 2000/ Effect: If this card is Normal or Special Summoned, you can Special Summon a 'Moon Dragon Disciple' from your deck in DEF Position)
"Now Moon Dragon Disciple's special ability activates! When she's Normal of Special Summoned, I can Special Summon another one from my deck in DEF Position!" Luna explained her monster's special ability as Moon Dragon Disciple turned to look down at her, before its eyes gleamed an electric blue colour. A single card slotted out of Luna's deck, which she grabbed hold of with her right hand's index and middle fingers, before she held the card up and showed that it was another copy of Moon Dragon Disciple. "So, I'll be playing another one if you don't mind". The Moon Duelist told her opponent as she placed the card on a Monster Zone of her Duel Disk. A familiar roar came out of nowhere, before a second Moon Dragon Disciple flew down from the dark blue sky and flew besides its fellow disciple.
Moon Dragon Disciple DEF Points: 2000/ Level: 8.
"Two Level 8 monsters". Enna remarked with narrowed eyes, having a pretty good idea what Luna was planning. "You're observant, aren't you? And if you were thinking that I was planning to do an Xyz Summon, you were right! I Overlay my two Level 8 Moon Dragon Disciples!" Luna called out, swiping her right hand into the air as her two flying dragons transformed into two bright yellow lights that began flying around the field.
A galaxy-like portal then appeared on the ground in front of Luna with her holding her left hand out to it, while her hair and skirt were blowing in the breeze. "With these two monsters, I build the Overlay Network! Xyz Summon! Appear Number 23: Lancelot, Dark Knight of the Underworld!" The Moon Duelist called out as the two bright yellow lights flew into the galaxy-like portal, creating an explosion of energy, before the number '23' flashed a blue colour, before the sealed form of Lancelot, Dark Knight of the Underworld appeared.
Rising out of the explosion of energy a few seconds later was a large shield made of an odd white metal. Emblazoned on the front of the shield was the image of a skull with a blue fabric wrapped around it. The shield began to glow with a blue light, before it began changing shape. In moments, it had turned into a slender knight clad completely in bone-white armor. Its torso and waist were connected by what looked to be a spinal cord. Around the knight's neck was a long blue scarf that hung down almost to its ankles. Its face had four small round green eyes like the eyes of an insect, and glowing on its torso was the number 23 in blue alien writing. In his right hand, the knight held a simple rapier. Circling around the Xyz Monster were purple overlay units.
Number 23: Lancelot, Dark Knight of the Underworld ATK Points: 2000/ Rank: 8/ Overlay units: 2.
Enna looked up at the new Number as it floated in front of Luna, before looking down at her with a natural expression. "Your monster's ATK Points aren't high enough to destroy Crystalzero". The silver haired woman stated, noticing that their monsters had a 200 point difference. "Who said that I'm going for her?" Luna questioned her opponent with a confident look, getting Enna to frown in confusion.
"Lancelot has the power to attack you directly". The Moon Duelist told Enna with a smirk, getting her to widen her eyes in disbelief. Lancelot disappeared from in front of Luna, and then reappeared in front of the silver haired woman past Crystalzero. "Attack her directly!" The Moon Duelist commanded her Xyz Monster, which Lancelot obeyed as it swiped its repair to the side, striking Enna and making her wince in pain.
Enna Life Points: 4000 – 2000 = 2000.
"Now Lancelot, Dark Knight of the Underworld's special ability activates!" Luna called out with an eager voice, getting Enna to open her eyes to look at her, having shut them closed from Lancelot's attack. "When this card successfully attacks you directly, all your monsters that have ATK Points equal or lower to double Lancelot's ATK Points are destroyed!" The Moon Duelist explained her Xyz Monster's special ability with a grin on her face, getting Enna to widen her eyes in shock once more, before she looked up at Lancelot as he turned around and struck Crystalzero from behind with its rapier, much to her shock as she exploded.
Enna covered her face with her right forearm from the explosion. Soon, she lowered her arm and looked at her opponent, before she thrust her right arm out. "I activate the Trap, Xyz Water Reincarnation!" The silver haired woman called out as one of her face downs flipped itself over, revealing to be a Trap. The image showed the dead body of Ice Beast Zerofyne falling into a dark portal with two blue flames coming out of her body, taking the form of Blizzard Falcon and Aurora Wing.
(Xyz Water Reincarnation/ Type: Trap/ Effect: If a Xyz Monster you control is destroyed by battle, or by a card effect: add up to 2 Water monsters from your deck to your hand)
"When an Xyz Monster is destroyed by battle, or by a card effect, this Trap allows me to add 2 WATER Monsters from my deck to my hand!" Enna explained her Trap card's effect as she reached for her deck with her right hand, but Luna stopped her before she could take it out. "Think again! I activate Lancelot's final effect!" The Moon Duelist called out, swiping her right hand forward as Lancelot absorbed an overlay unit into his rapier.
"If you activate a card effect, by using an Overlay Unit, I can negate that effect!" Luna explained her Xyz Monster's final effect as Lancelot impaled Xyz Water Reincarnation's card and destroyed it, getting Enna to slightly grit her teeth in frustration, before she swiped her right hand out once more. "In that case, I'll play the Xyz Reborn Trap card!" The silver haired woman called out as her last remaining face down card revealed itself, causing Luna to narrow her eyes at the sight of it.
"This Trap not only brings back a Xyz Monster from my Graveyard, but becomes an Overlay Unit for the Summoned monster! Rise, Number 94: Crystalzero!" Enna called out, before a black portal appeared in front of her, before Crystalzero slowly floated up from within it. Xyz Reborn's card then transformed into a light blue overlay unit that shot out towards Crystalzero, before it began floating around her.
Number 94: Crystalzero ATK Points: 2200/ Rank: 5/ Overlay units: 1.
Luna slightly gritted her teeth at seeing Crystalzero reappear, before she looked down at the cards in her hand. Seeing that her current two cards couldn't help her in this situation, Luna looked back at Enna. "I end my turn here!" Luna declared her turn over, having nothing else to do, while Lancelot returned to floating besides her.
(Play Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Jaden is Resisting)
Enna Life Points: 2000/ Number of cards in hand: 0.
"My turn now!" Enna called out, drawing her card in a dramatic fashion by swiping her right hand out with her card being held between her index and middle fingers. Enna held the card in front of her, before holding it out and showing that it was Xyz Treasure. "I activate the Spell card, Xyz Treasure!" The silver haired woman called out as she slotted the Spell card into her deck, before a larger version materialized in front of her.
Luna looked up at her Xyz Monster and considered activating its effect, but decided against it. "This Spell allows me to draw a card for every Xyz Monster on the field! Since there's two of them, that's 2 cards!" Enna explained her Spell card's effect as her deck gleamed, before she drew the top 2 cards of her deck with her right hand. Enna looked at her 2 new cards, before she transferred them over to her hand.
"First, I'll set a face down monster…!" The silver haired woman began as a face down card in sideways position appeared, before she took hold of her last card and held it up. "Then I'll activate the Equip Spell, Cold Excalibur!" Enna continued as she slotted the card into her Duel Disk, before a Spell card materialized on her field. The image showed an ice copy of the legendary sword, Excalibur being held by Number 21: Frozen Lady Justice.
(Cold Excalibur/ Type: Equip Spell/ Effect: This card can only be equipped to a WATER Monster. The equipped monster gains 500 ATK Points. If the equipped monster destroys an opponent's monster in battle, your opponent takes 200 points of damage equal to the destroyed monster's Level/Rank)
"I can equip this card to a Water monster. The equipped monster gains 500 ATK Points, and when it destroys an opponent's monster in battle, you take 200 points of damage equal to the destroyed monster's Level, or Rank!" Enna explained her Equip Spell's effect to Luna, getting her to slightly widen her eyes in surprise, before she swiped her right hand out. "I activate Lancelot's special ability!" The Moon Duelist called out as her Xyz Monster absorbed its last overlay unit into its rapier.
Cold Excalibur's card gained electrical sparks around it, before it dispersed into particles. "So, you used your monster's remaining Overlay Unit on my Spell instead of Crystalzero's effect". Enna stated with narrowed eyes, which Luna returned by narrowing her own eyes at the silver haired woman. "Out of the two options, letting you keep that Equip-Spell would have dealt more damage to my Life Points. That's why I chose to go with this option". The Moon Duelist told her opponent, having calculated the damage in her mind.
'She's right. If she had not used Lancelot's effect on Cold Excalibur and instead on Crystalzero's effect, she would have received 700 points of damage from our two monsters attacking, not to mention 1600 more from my Spell's effect. This way, she'll just take 1200 points of damage'. Enna said in her mind, calculating the damage that Luna could take from the two outcomes. The silver haired woman then swiped her right hand out towards Lancelot.
"I activate Crystalzero's special ability! By using one Overlay Unit, she takes away half of your monster's ATK Points! Go Crystal Eraser!" The silver haired woman called out Crystalzero absorbed her overlay unit into her sword, before she began charging towards Lancelot. Once she was close enough, she stopped mid-air and held her sword out to the Zombie-Type monster, firing a blue stream of energy at Lancelot, striking him and causing the Xyz Monster to cry out as his energy was drained
Number 23: Lancelot, Dark Knight of the Underworld ATK Points: 2000 – 1000 = 1000.
Enna then dramatically swiped her right hand out to the side, blowing her hair a little bit. "Crystalzero, attack Lancelot, Dark Knight of the Underworld!" Enna commanded her Xyz Monster. Crystalzero's eyes flashed red, before she brought out her sword and charged at Lancelot once more. She swiped her sword down Lancelot's body, slicing right through his body, before the Zombie-Type monster exploded with Crystalzero flying away from the explosion. (2200 – 1000 = 1200)
Luna Life Points: 2800 – 1200 = 1600.
Despite her Xyz Monster's destruction, Luna didn't seem too bothered as she had a natural expression on her face. "I end my turn!" Enna declared her turn over as Crystalzero returned to her side.
(Music end/ Play Yu-Gi-Oh! Gx Jaden is back!)
Luna Life Points: 1600/ Number of cards in hand: 2.
"Not bad…" Luna began as she placed her right hand on the top card of her deck. "…But I've still got some tricks!" The teenage girl finished as she drew her card, bringing it to her face to see what it was, before she grew a smirk on her face. "To start off, I'm revealing my face down monster!" The Moon Duelist called out as her face down card flipped changed positions, before flipping itself over to be Moon Curse Witch. The card glowed, before the female witch floated out of the glow.
Moon Curse Witch ATK Points: 1000/ Level: 4.
"My Moon Curse Witch's flip ability activates! It can destroy one of your cards, so say bye-bye to Crystalzero!" Luna explained her monster's special ability, watching as Moon Curse Witch brought out her wand, before firing a white beam at Crystalzero from it. The beam struck the Xyz Monster, making Crystalzero cry out, before she exploded. Enna covered her eyes from the smoke from the explosion with her right forearm, before she brought her hand down.
"Now, I Summon Moon Retrieving Saluki Hound!" Luna called out as she took one of her two cards in her left hand and placed it on a Monster Zone, while keeping a hold of the card she drew with her ring and pinkie fingers. A white portal appeared besides Luna, before a white and electric blue fur saluki hound dog jumped out of it and landed besides Moon Curse Witch. It had white fur underneath, and electric blue fur on top, finally it had black eyes.
(Moon Retrieving Saluki Hound/ Level: 4/ Attribute: Light/ Type: Beast/ Effect/ ATK Points: 1500/ DEF Points: 1000/ Effect: Once this card is Normal Summoned, select one Spell card with 'Moon' in its name from your Graveyard, then add that card to your hand. Once per turn, not on the turn that this card was sent to the Graveyard, you can remove this card from your Graveyard and add one Spell card with 'Moon' in its name from the GY to your hand)
"Saluki Hound's special ability now activates! When this card is Normal Summoned, I can add one Spell card with 'Moon' in its name from my Graveyard to my hand!" Luna explained her monster's special ability, making Enna widen her eyes as she realized something. "But the only Spell card in your Graveyard that has Moon in its name is…" Enna began with a shocked voice, which Luna nodded to her as her Spell, Rank-Up-Magic Moon's Force slotted out of her Duel Disk's Graveyard Zone.
Luna took ahold of her Spell card with her right hand's index and middle fingers, before she held it up for Enna to see. "I'll be adding my Rank-Up-Magic Moon's Force back to my hand". Luna told her opponent, before she added her Spell card to her hand. 'That card is worrisome. Now that she has it back, the chances of facing her Moon Goddess Dragon Selene has increased dramatically'. Enna thought to herself in concern, knowing full well about Luna's strongest monster, having seen it when she watched the Duel between Luna and Shark.
"Now, I Overlay my Level 4 Moon Curse Witch and Moon Retrieving Saluki Hound!" Luna exclaimed as she swiped her right hand into the air as her two monsters transformed into bright yellow lights that descended into the air. Appearing in front of Luna was a red Xyz portal, with the two lights flying into it. "With these two monsters, I build the Overlay Network and Xyz Summon Moon Fairy Ailsa!" The black and pink haired girl called out as her Moon Fairy Ailsa appeared with two yellow overlay units circling around her.
Moon Fairy Ailsa ATK Points: 2300/ Rank: 4/ Overlay units: 2.
Enna looked up at Moon Fairy Ailsa for a moment, before looking down at her face down monster, then at Luna. "My monster is in DEF Mode, meaning my Life Points are safe". The silver haired woman reminded her opponent, but Luna just grew a smile on her face. "For the moment, but that won't matter when I play this". The Moon Duelist told her opponent as she picked up one of the three remaining cards in her left hand with her right hand.
Luna held the card up, revealing that it was the Fairy Meteor Crush card. "I equip my Ailsa with the Fairy Meteor Crush card!" Luna called out as she slotted the Spell card into her Duel Disk. The Spell card materialized on the field, before a pinkish aura covered Moon Fairy Ailsa. "Thanks to this Spell card's power, my monster gains the power to inflict piercing damage!" The Moon Duelist explained her Spell card's effect with a smirk, causing Enna to widen her eyes in panic.
Luna then pointed towards Enna's face down monster with her left hand's index finger, while she kept ahold of her last two cards with her middle, rink and pinkie fingers. "Moon Fairy Alisa, attack that face down monster!" The Moon Duelist commanded her Xyz Monster, which Alisa nodded to her Duelist, before firing a bright beam of light from her wings at the face down monster. The face down card then flipped over, revealing that it was Aurora Wing's card, before the card glowed with the Winged Beast monster flying out of the glow.
Aurora Wing DEF Points: 1600/ Level: 4.
The beam of light struck Aurora Wing and created an explosion. The shockwave forced Enna to use her forearms to cover her eyes. (2300 – 1600 = 700)
Enna Life Points: 2000 – 700 = 1300.
Soon the shockwaves died down, allowing the silver haired woman to lower her hands to look at Luna, before swiping her right hand out. "If Aurora Wing was destroyed in battle, I can revive her from the Graveyard in DEF Mode!" The silver haired woman explained her monster's special ability, before Aurora Wing's card materialized in front of her in a sideways position. The card glowed once more, before the Winged Beast monster flew out of the glow and into the air.
Aurora Wing DEF Points: 1600/ Level: 4.
(Music end)
The Moon Duelist slightly narrowed her eyes at seeing Aurora Wing return to the field, before she looked at the remaining two cards in her hand. In her hand was her Rank-Up-Magic Moon's Force Spell card and Moon Level Butterfly. She gave a soft sigh, before she looked up at her opponent. "I'll admit it, you're better than what I was expecting". The Moon Duelist confessed to her opponent, getting Enna to frown in confusion at the sudden confession.
"To be honest, I was expecting for you to make a lot of mistakes since you're using Rio's deck, but it appears like you know how to use that deck, as if it was yours". Luna explained to Enna what she meant, slightly annoying the silver haired woman at her words. "This isn't just a random deck; this is my partner's deck. Rio and I have bonded and worked together on making this deck as strong as it can get. Although this deck used to just be her deck, it's now both of our deck!" Enna told the Moon Duelist with a slightly annoyed voice, getting Luna to narrow her eyes at her.
"Does Rio consider her deck to be yours as well?" The Moon Duelist questioned her opponent with a slightly protective tone, which Enna nodded to her. "She does. That's why I can count on this deck to respond to me". The silver haired woman answered the Moon Duelist, getting her to soften her gaze at the answer. "I can believe that, especially after seeing how good you are with those cards. Guess that means I don't have to go easy on you anymore!" Luna exclaimed as her eyes glowed silvery white, indicating that she was done playing around.
"It'll take more than empty words to scare me. If I've learned anything during my time here on Earth, it's that a Duel is never over until the last card is played. Prepare yourself, Number Hunter, because I am feeling the flow!" Enna told her opponent with pure resolve, getting Luna to narrow her eyes at the silver haired girl, but her lips changed into a small smile.
(Meanwhile, back on Earth)
Back with Rio, Yuma, Astral, Tori, Bronk, Caswell, Cat and Taiki have all arrived in the warehouse district in Heartland City. Rio, Yuma, Tori, Bronk, Caswell, Cat and Taiki ran up to the gate blocking their path, before they quickly climbed up to the top, while Astral flew over the gate. The first ones to reach the top were Rio and Yuma, who quickly jumped off and landed on the ground, before running up to the sealed off entrance, followed by everyone else.
Rio was the first to reach the gate and began pounding on it with her right hand. "Luna! It's me, Rio! I'm here! Let me in!" The Ice Queen called out in a slightly desperate voice, before she was joined by Yuma as he began pounding on the door with his left hand. "Open up!" The 13-year-old exclaimed, while Astral and everyone else stood behind the couple, watching them pound the door. 'Enna… we're almost there'. Astral said in his mind, getting restless at getting so close to seeing his wife again.
Tori watched her childhood friend and best friend pound away at the door, until she noticed something from Rio. "Rio, your deck again!" The Fairy Duelist exclaimed, getting Yuma and Rio's attention as they temporarily stopped pounding at the door. The two then saw a stronger glow than before glowing from within Rio's jacket pocket, getting her to raise an eyebrow as she brought out her deck with her left hand and saw that it was glowing stronger than before.
"Enna must still be fighting Luna! We gotta hurry!" The Ice Queen exclaimed in concern, before she put her deck away in her jacket pocket and resumed pounding at the door with her fist. "What do mean by that?" Taiki questioned the Ice Queen, wondering why she thought her partner was facing Luna. Instead of Rio answering, it was Yuma as he resumed pounding away at the door. "Astral told us! The reason why Rio's deck is glowing is because Enna must be using them!" The teenage boy answered for his girlfriend, getting Bronk to look at his best friend.
"We have to get inside! Who knows how long Enna can last against Luna!" Rio exclaimed in panic, catching Tori's attention at what she just said. "Is Luna that strong?" The Fairy Duelist questioned her best friend in concern, getting the Ice Queen to look over her left shoulder to look at her. "What do you think!? She beat my brother, and I have no idea how good Enna is of a Duelist!" Rio snapped at her friend, before she went back to pounding the entrance.
"We gotta hurry! Cause if we don't we might lose Enna!" The Ice Queen added with a slightly desperate voice, not noticing Astral wince in dread. The thought of losing Enna, the woman he's fallen in love with, taken away from him forever filled him with dread, and with fear. 'No… I can't lose Enna'. Astral thought to himself with narrowed eyes, refusing to allow anything to take his wife from him.
Meanwhile, inside the warehouse in the lab, Orbital 8 sat on her chair, facing the still present portal in front of her. "I hope Mistress Luna is alright in there. Who knows what is inside of that key". The female robot remarked with a worried tone for her mistress. Just then, a loud ringing came from behind the female robot, getting Orbital 8 to extend her neck to look at the computer behind her and saw a screen showing the entrance, where Rio and Yuma were pounding the door with their friends behind them.
"Would you look at that? Rio Kastle, Yuma Tsukumo and their cheer squad made it!" The female robot stated, twirling her chair around to face the screen, before retracting her neck. The female robot then thought of her mistress's words of allowing Rio Kastle entrance inside, but she didn't really want to do it. As she thought about her mistress, she remembered when she was first created.
Luna had built her with help from Kite and Orbital 7 just a year after Hart was born. Unlike Kite, who created Orbital 7 to look after Hart, Luna created her for many reasons. One of the reasons was to have a friend, for Orbital 7 to have a little sister and finally, someone to always have by her side. Ever since her creation, she and Luna had become great partners that cared for each other greatly. Even when Luna and Kite became Number Hunters, she and Orbital 7 were always there for them, not because of their programming, but because they cared greatly for them.
Her love for her mistress was great, that was why she felt heartbroken whenever Luna was filled with sadness, and wished she could keep it from happening. The last few weeks have been the hardest ones for her mistress as she learned about her old friends; the Kastle siblings had acquired Numbers. Today however, was the most heartbreaking day for Orbital 8 upon watching Luna attempt to sever her connections with her oldest friends.
Orbital 8 turned to look back at the portal that her mistress jumped into. "…I'm sorry Mistress, but I can't let your old friend come in and cause you any more pain". The female robot said with her head down, defying her Mistress for the first time in her life. 'Crashbug!' An unfamiliar voice called out, instantly getting Orbital 8's attention. She lifted her head up and turned to the computer, before she cried out in surprise upon seeing Crashbugs throwing exploding bombs on the screen, before throwing one at the screen.
"What the s-shock!? We're getting hacked! Better update my anti-virus software!" The female robot exclaimed in panic as she began typing away on the keyboard. However, electrical surges came out of the keyboards before they exploded, much to her shock. "Oh no! Whoever did this doesn't beat around the bush! The system is already crashing!" The female robot exclaimed in horror as the room flashed red with more screens showing Crashbug. "Forget about Mistress Luna being mad about this, Master Kite w-will be absolutely furious!" Orbital 8 stated with pure panic in her voice, knowing that she was in trouble.
Back outside the warehouse, Yuma, Rio, Tori, Bronk, Caswell, Cat and Taiki were now trying to force the door open by the partition. Rio, Tori Caswell and Cat were on the right side, while Yuma, Bronk and Taiki were on the other side with all of them attempting to pull the door open. Astral was watching them from behind with a worried look, praying that they somehow get the door open.
To everyone's great surprise, the door did slightly open, not by their efforts, but by itself, large enough for them all to get inside. "It opened!" Rio called out in joy as she, along with everyone else let go of the partition part. "Guess we're stronger than we look". Bronk commented with a surprised look on his face. Just then, ringing came from within Yuma's pants' right pocket, getting everyone's attention as they turned to look at the 13-year-old boy.
Yuma placed his right hand in his pants' pocket, before he brought out his crimson Duel-Gazer and saw that someone was calling him. He answered the call and saw Mr. Kay on the other end of the call. "I uploaded a new virus to crash the warehouse's security system. You should be all cleared now". Mr. Kay told his students with a smile on his face, instantly getting everyone to smile as well. "Thanks Mr. Kay". Yuma thanked his teacher, not noticing Astral looking slightly restless.
"We owe you". Rio added with a smile, before she turned to face the entrance and ran inside. "Come on guys, let's go!" Yuma exclaimed, ending his call and placing his Duel-Gazer in his pocket, before chasing after his girlfriend, closely followed by the others. Astral flew in after everyone with a determined look to get his wife back.
Soon, everyone was running down a hallway of the warehouse with Rio at the front with Yuma right behind her. "Enna! Luna! Where are you guys!?" The Ice Queen called out in hopes that either of the two would answer, but all she met was the sound of their loud footsteps. "Enna! We're here to bring you home!" Astral called out as he flew above the group, praying that it wasn't too late to save his wife. Unknown to the gang was that they were being watched by Orbital 8 in the lab.
The room wasn't flashing red anymore and there weren't any Crashbugs on any of the screens. "Oh s-shock! She's g-getting closer to here! I gotta stop here before Mistress Luna gets back!" The female robot exclaimed, spinning her head around a bit. "Guess it's time to call in some backup from my big brothers. Orbital 5 and 6, get ready to join the party!" The female robot called out as she pressed a button of the keyboard with her right hand, causing it to glow.
Back in the hallway, a blue sort of robot slammed onto the ground 10 feet away from the gang, blocking their path. Rio, Yuma, Tori, Bronk, Caswell, Cat and Taiki all stopped running upon seeing the blue machine. "Guess we can't go this way". Yuma remarked as everyone stared at the object blocking their path. Just then, a red sort of robot, similar to the other one, slammed onto the ground behind the gang, getting Cat, Caswell and Taiki to gasp in surprise as they turned to face the second machine.
"Or that way!" Caswell added, his eyes clued on the red machine. The two machines then proceeded to transform before everyone's eyes. The blue machine transformed into a gorilla machine, while the red one became a spider machine, making everyone gasp in surprise. "This welcoming party doesn't look too friendly". Tori commented in concern, while Rio glared up at the gorilla machine in front of them. Astral then flew close to his partner and Rio, still looking restless. "We can't waste time on these machines! We must carry on to Enna!" Astral told the two teenagers in an urgent tone, which Yuma and Rio nodded in agreement.
"Don't need to tell us that, Astral…" Rio began as the gorilla machine lifted its right fist up, before thrusting it out to Yuma, Rio, Tori and Bronk. Yuma and Rio leaped into the air, while Tori and Bronk ran. "We know what's at stake here!" Yuma finished for his girlfriend, diving down towards the gorilla machine with his right foot out. The teenage boy struck the gorilla machine on the head, sending it crashing into the ground, while Yuma landed on his feet.
Meanwhile with Caswell, Taiki and Cat, they faced the spider machine. The machine reared up its fangs to sink them into them. Caswell ran to the side, Taiki leaped into the air over the machine, while Cat slide across the ground underneath the spider machine, all of them dodging its attempted attack. Taiki landed behind the spider machine with Cathy sliding up next to him, while Caswell was on the spider machine's right side.
Back with Yuma and Rio, the two of them took a step back as the gorilla machine recovered. It brought up its right fist up again, before thrusting it out once more at the two, but they leaped into the air to dodge with the robot's fist kicking up debris. In mid-air, Yuma and Rio back flipped before they landed on their feet a little bit away from the gorilla machine. However, unknown to them was that the spider machine leaped into the air, before diving down towards them.
Yuma and Rio turned around, before they widened their eyes upon seeing the spider machine coming down towards them. "Not on your life!" Bronk roared out, charging forward and elbow tackled the spider machine from underneath, sending it crashing into the wall. "Yuma! Rio! Go on ahead!" Bronk told his two friends as Tori ran up next to him, getting Yuma and Rio to widen their eyes in surprise.
"We'll keep these bots busy so you two and Astral can rescue Enna and find that Luna girl!" The Machine Duelist told his two friends, not seeing Astral fly down next to his partner. "He's right you two, there's not much time! We need to reach Enna and Luna before it's too late!" The Astral World being told his partner and Rio, reminding them that there wasn't much time yet. "But I…" Yuma said in concern for his friends, not noticing the gorilla machine approaching him and Rio.
The gorilla machine let out a small growl at Yuma and Rio, getting their attention as they looked and saw it reach out towards them with its right hand. Out of nowhere, Taiki came down from above and slammed down on the gorilla machine's right arm, not only causing the machine to close his arm, but even caused it to crash into the ground. "Pick on someone your own size!" The gymnastic boy snapped at the gorilla machine, before he leaped towards its face and kneed it in the forehead, sending the machine crashing onto the ground on its back.
"Nice one, Taiki!" Cat cried out from next to Caswell, who looked amazed by Taiki's athletic skills. The purple haired boy gave a smirk as he leaped back into the air, before he back flipped and landed in front of Cat and Caswell. "We can handle these things, no problem! Go on ahead and find that Luna girl!" The athletic boy told his friends, giving them the thumbs up with his left hand.
"Now go get Enna, and learn what happened to your best friend, Yuma, Rio, Astral!" Tori told her friends with an encouraging voice, even though she still couldn't see Astral just yet. Yuma, Rio and Astral all had wide eyes as they felt touched by their friends' support. "Everyone… thank you". Rio thanked her friends as she closed her eyes and cried a single tear of joy from her right eye. Yuma took ahold of Rio's right hand with his own right hand, before he began running towards the gorilla machine, bringing his girlfriend with him. Astral flew after his partner and friend as they charged towards the gorilla blocking their way.
Rio shot open her eyes, before she narrowed them. She shook her right hand out of Yuma's grip, but kept running besides her boyfriend as they charged towards the gorilla machine. The Ice Queen then leaped over the gorilla machine, while Yuma slide across the ground underneath it, both passing through the gorilla machine. Rio landed next to Yuma as he got up to his feet, before they began running down the hallway again with Astral flying besides them.
Back with the others, the spider machine began to get back up from sliding down to the ground from Bronk's tackle. "That one hurt". A male-like voice said from the spider machine, much to the surprise of Caswell, Cat and Taiki. "That thing can talk!?" Caswell called out in surprise, having not expected the spider machine to speak. "How rude of you! For your information, I have a name and its Orbital 6!" The spider machine, now revealed as Orbital 6, snapped at the Class Representative, before he gave out a hiss.
"And my name is Orbital 5!" The gorilla machine, now revealed as Orbital 5, said in a gruff voice as he began advancing towards the gang as they gathered together. "Guys, let's split these robots up in separate groups!" Taiki suggested to the group, standing next to Cat and Caswell. Bronk and Tori nodded in agreement to Taiki's suggestion, before they began taunting Orbital 5. "Come and get us!" The two taunted Orbital 5 with sly looks, getting the gorilla machine to blow steam from his ears. "I'll not only get you two, I'll make you wish that you were never born!" Orbital 5 cried out in outrage, before he began his assault.
Back with Yuma, Rio and Astral, the couple ran besides each other as they continued down the hallway with the Astral World being flying up from above them. Rio looked over her left shoulder down the hallway. 'Tori, Bronk, Caswell, Cathy, Taiki. Thank you for everything. I won't let your efforts be in vein'. The Ice Queen said in her mind, thankful to her friends for their support. Rio then looked forward with determine eyes, ready for her confrontation with her old friend.
(Meanwhile back in the Empress's Key)
Back inside the Empress's Key, Enna and Luna were still facing each other 10 feet away. Aurora Wing was in a defense stance in front of Enna, while Moon Fair Ailsa was still air-born above her Duelist with her smile on her face. "Just like my dear brother said to Rio, Shark and Yuma Tsukumo, you're about to feel the pain. Take your move!" The Moon Duelist told her opponent as her Duel Eye Tatto flashed, declaring her turn over for the moment.
Enna Life Points: 1300/ Number of cards in hand: 0.
"We'll see about that! My move!" Enna retaliated, drawing her card in a dramatic fashion with her right hand, her card leaving a light blue veil as she moved her hand. She brought the card to her face to see what it was, before she widened her eyes in surprise at seeing what it was. The card that she was holding was one of Rio's new cards. The card was called Frozen Child Justice. The image showed a young child that looked incredibly like Frozen Lady Justice with just a few small differences. She didn't have the number '21' on her left leg, and her skirt was designed different from Frozen Lady Justice's one. Her skirt was a little bit bigger; covering her thins from view, but still kept the loincloth.
(Frozen Child Justice/ Level: 4/ Attribute: Water/ ATK Points: 500/ DEF Points: 500/ Type: Aqua/ Effect/ Effect: During your Main Phase: You can Special Summon one Water Attribute monster from your hand. If this card is used for the Xyz Summon of a Water attribute monster, you can treat this card and another Water Attribute monster as Level 6 monsters. If this card is used as Xyz Material for 'Number 21: Frozen Lady Justice', it can activate its effects without detaching Xyz Materials)
(Play Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Jaden Good Play!)
Enna stared at the card with wide eyes for a few moments, before she narrowed them and added the card to her hand. She then thrust her right hand out. "I activate Freezing Mother Bird's special ability from the Graveyard! By removing her from my Graveyard from play, I can Special Summon a Winged Beast from the Graveyard!" The silver haired woman explained as a black portal appeared in front of her.
Freezing Mother Bird's card materialized and then flew down into the portal, before it dispersed into particles. "Take flight once more, Blizzard Falcon!" Enna called out as blue particles came out of the portal and came together, before transforming into Blizzard Falcon. The Winged Beast monster gave out a cry as it took flight besides Aurora Wing.
Blizzard Falcon ATK Points: 1500/ Level: 4.
"Now, I Overlay my Level 4 Blizzard Falcon and Aurora Wing!" The silver haired woman called out, rising her right hand into the air as her two Winged Beast monsters transformed into a light blue colour, before they ascended into the sky. A red portal in front of Enna, blowing her hair in the breeze with the two blue lights flying down into it, causing an explosion of energy. "I Xyz Summon Ice Beast Zerofyne!" The silver haired woman called out as Zerofyne flew into the sky from the explosion of energy, giving out a cry with two blue overlay units circling around her.
Ice Beast Zerofyne ATK Points: 2000/ Rank: 4/ Overlay units: 2.
"I activate Ice Beast Zerofyne's special ability! By using an Overlay Unit, all other face-up cards on the field loses their effect until my next Standby Phase!" Enna explained her Xyz Monster's special ability, watching as Zerofyne absorbed one of her overlay units.
Ice Beast Zerofyne Overlay units: 2 - 1= 1.
"Now the ability, Perfect Freeze activates! For every card that loses its effect, your monster loses 300 ATK Points! Since there's 3 cards face-up, that's 900 ATK Points" The silver haired woman added as Ferofyne flew into the air, before stopping in mid-air. Ferofyne then glowed a gold colour, before firing light blue coloured lasers from her wings. Level Denial's card materialized next to Fairy Meteor Crush's card, before they were both struck by the light blue lasers, slowly encasing them in ice. Two more light blue lasers struck Moon Fairy Alisa, slowly encasing her in ice as well with the Fairy-Type monster having wide eyes and gritted teeth.
Moon Fairy Alisa ATK Points: 2300 – 900 = 1400.
"Now go Zerofyne! Attack Moon Fairy Alisa with Icicle Storm!" Enna commanded her Xyz Monster, swiping her right hand out to the side. Zerofyne glowed light blue as she twirled around in the air, bringing her hands up into the air, before swiping them to the side and firing a barrage of icicle shards at Moon Fairy Alisa. The icicle shards all struck Moon Fairy Alisa, making her cry out in pain, before she exploded. The force of the explosion even blew Luna off her feet and into the air. (2000 – 1400 = 600)
Luna Life Points: 1600 – 600 = 1000.
(Music end)
In mid-air, Luna black flipped to regain control, then landed on her feet, sliding across the ground for a few seconds before she stopped. She raised her head and glared up at Enna, who was staring at her with narrowed eyes. "With that, I end my turn here!" Enna declared her turn over, while Zeorfyne flew down next to her.
Luna Life Points: 1000/ Number of cards in hand: 2.
"My turn now! Draw!" Luna called out, drawing her card in a dramatic fashion with her right hand, before holding it up to see what it was. "I'll place a monster face down in DEF Mode and end my turn!" Luna called out; placing the card she drew on one of her Monster Zones. A face down card in sideways position appeared in front of Luna.
Enna Life Points: 1300/ Number of cards in hand: 1.
Enna slightly narrowed her eyes at seeing Luna's quick move, but still placed her right hand on the top card of her deck. "My turn now! I draw!" Enna called out; drawing her card in a less dramatic than before. Enna brought the card up in front of her to see what it. The silver haired woman then thrust her right hand out, pointing towards the face-down monster with her index finger, while keeping a hold of her card with her middle and ring fingers.
"Zerofyne, attack with Icicle Storm!" Enna commanded her Xyz Monster, which Zerofyne's eyes glowed yellow and her body gleamed light blue as she twirled around in the air, bringing her hands up into the air, before swiping them to the side and firing a barrage of icicle shards at the face down monster. The face down card then flipped itself over, revealing to be Moon Kuriboh's card, before it glowed and the little monster floated out of the glow.
Moon Kuriboh DEF Points: 200/ Level: 1.
Zerofyne's icicle shards all struck the little Fiend-Type monster, causing him to disperse into particles, but Enna wasn't focused on that. 'Moon Kuriboh… Now Luna can use its special ability from the Graveyard'. The silver haired woman said in her mind, knowing full well what Moon Kuriboh's special ability is. She then added the card she drew earlier to her hand, before looking towards Luna. "My turn is over!" The silver haired woman declared her turn over as Ferofyne returned to her side.
Luna Life Points: 1000/ Number of cards in hand: 2.
"I draw!" Luna called out; drawing her card with her right hand in a dramatic fashion with her index and middle fingers. Luna flipped the card over to see what it was, before she grew a smirk at seeing what it was. She then swiped her right hand in front of her, showing Enna that her card was Card of Sanctity. "I activate one of my favorite Spell cards, Card of Sanctity!" The Moon Duelist called out, before she slotted the Spell card into her Duel Disk.
A bright light then appeared in the sky above the field, getting Enna to look up at it. "This card allows both of us to draw until we have 6 cards in our hand!" The Moon Duelist explained her Spell card's effect, before both she and Enna began drawing cards from their decks. The both of them drew 4 cards from their deck and held them with their right hands, checking out what they drew. They then added their new cards to their hand, before Luna picked a single card out and held it up with her right hand.
"I activate the Spell card, Spell Exchange!" The Moon Duelist called out as she flipped the card over, showing it to be a Spell card with the image an old fashioned Duel Disk with the Spell card Monster Reborn face up on the top of the deck, while the Spell Raigeki was being discarded to the graveyard.
(Spell Exchange/ Type: Spell/ Send any type of Spell card from your hand, or field to the Graveyard, then add another Spell card of the same type to your hand from your deck or Graveyard)
"Listen carefully because this card is a bit tricky. By sending a Spell card from my hand or field to the Graveyard, I can add a Spell card of the same type from my deck or Graveyard to my hand". Luna explained her Spell card's effect, slotting the card into her Duel Disk with a larger version of it materializing on her field. Enna narrowed her eyes as she thought about what her opponent can do with that card. 'She has her Rank-Up-Magic card in her hand and her Level Denial on her field. I don't know what else she had in her hand, so all I know is that she can add a normal, or Field Spell to her hand'. The silver haired woman thought to herself, going over the choices that she knows that Luna can make.
Luna's Field Spell Zone of her Duel Disk opened, before Level Denial's card slotted out of it. "I'll remove my Level Denial's card…" Luna began as she took the card with her right hand, before she sent it to the graveyard zone of her Duel Disk. Luna's Duel Disk then began shuffling for a moment, before a single card slotted out. The Moon Duelist grabbed ahold of the card with her right hand's index and middle fingers, before she held it up, then flipped it over, revealing that it was her Field Spell, Shining Moon. "To add my Field Spell, Shining Moon to my hand!" Luna finished, getting Enna to narrow her eyes at the Field Spell's card.
'Her Spell card allows her to Summon any Moon Monster from her Graveyard, and grants her Moon Monsters 300 ATK and DEF Points. A rather troublesome Spell'. Enna said in her mind, having seen the Field Spell in action. "And now, I think I'll activate my Field Spell!" Luna exclaimed as she placed her Field Spell card into her Field Spell Zone, before it slotted into her Duel Disk.
(Play Yu-Gi-Oh! GX Jaden had a plan)
A pure white moon that was shining like a star appeared above the field and shined down on the field, getting Enna to look up at it. "This Spell grants my Moon monsters 300 ATK and DEF Points, and the best part is that it allows me to Special Summon a Moon Monster from the Graveyard! Allow me to demonstrate! Using Shining Moon's effect, I revive Moon Curse Witch!" Luna called out as she held her right hand out to the moon. The moon released a bright beam that struck the ground in front of Luna, before it cleared to reveal Moon Curse Witch, who had s smile on her face.
Moon Curse Witch ATK Points: 1000 + 300 = 1300/ DEF Points: 1000 + 300 = 1300/ Level: 4.
Luna then grabbed hold of another one of her cards from her hand and placed it in another Monster Zone of her Duel Disk. "I now Summon Moon Level Butterfly". The Moon Duelist said as a card materialized in front of her, before it released a bright light and Moon Level Butterfly came out of it.
Moon Level Butterfly ATK Points: 0 + 300 = 300/ DEF Points: 0 + 300 = 300/ Level: 1.
Enna widened her eyes upon seeing Moon Level Butterfly, knowing just how dangerous that card was. "Judging by the expression on your face, you know full well what Moon Level Butterfly does, but I'll explain it anyway. I activate Moon Level Butterfly's special ability!" Luna called out, swiping her right hand out to the side and leaving a white veil.
"I select a Level between 1 and 10, and then all Moon monsters' Level will become the level that I choose! And I choose Level 6!" Luna explained her monster's special ability as Moon Level Butterfly flew above Moon Curse and started flapping her wings, causing sparkles to rain down on the female monster.
Moon Level Butterfly Level: 1 + 5 = 6.
Moon Curse Witch Level: 4 + 2 = 6.
"Two Level 6 monsters!" Enna exclaimed with wide eyes, knowing full well what Luna was planning. "That's right, and now I Overlay them!" Luna called out, swiping her right hand into the air as Moon Level Butterfly and Moon Curse Witch transformed into two bright yellow lights and flew into the air. A black portal appeared on the ground in front of Luna, blowing her hair and skirt in the breeze. "With these two monsters, I build the Overlay Network! Xyz Summon!" The Moon Duelist called out as the two yellow lights flew into the black portal, causing an explosion of energy.
"Appear! Number 24: Dragulas the Vampiric Dragon!" Luna called out, before the number '24' appeared in alien language and flashed a red colour, before the sealed form of Dragulas appeared. Rising up from the explosion of energy was a large demonic coffin with a symbol looking like a four-eyed dragon emblazed the front of it. Slowly, black most began to leak out from the coffin, before the door fell off, revealing a dragon-like creature with black scales with streaks of crimson red all over it, along with skeletal-like armor upon its body. It also had bright, blonde hair on its head, and the left side of its chest displayed a red '24'. Dragulas leaped out of the coffin and crashed landed on the ground with two purple overlay units circling around it, before it unleashed a powerful roar.
Number 24: Dragulas the Vampiric Dragon ATK Points: 2400/ Rank: 6/ Overlay units: 2.
Luna then pointed towards Zerofyne with her left hand's index finger, while keeping ahold of her other cards with her middle and ring finger. "Now go Dragulas, attack Ice Beast Zerofyne!" The Moon Duelist commanded her Xyz Monster. Dragulas let out a powerful roar, before firing a red blast attack from its mouth at Zerofyne, striking her in the stomach, causing her to shut her eyes in pain, before she exploded. Enna covered her eyes with her forearms from the smoke that was created by the smoke, while her hair was bowing from the shockwaves. (2400 – 2000 = 400)
Enna Life Points: 1300 – 400 = 900.
(Music end)
Once the smoke was cleared, Enna lowered her arms to look at her opponent and saw her grinning at her. Luna then held up her right hand, holding three cards up. "I'll end my turn with three face downs! You're up!" Luna declared her turn over, swiping the three cards into her Duel Disk with three face down cards materializing in front of her.
Enna Life Points: 900/ Number of cards in hand: 6.
(Meanwhile outside the Empress's Key)
Back with Yuma, Rio and Astral, the couple continued to run down the hallway with Astral flying above them. Soon, the reached another closed entrance, causing them all to stop in front of it. "Not another one!" The Ice Queen exclaimed, before she walked up to the entrance and began banging against it with her left hand. "Let me in already!" Rio called out with her eyes narrowed in an annoyed frown. Yuma gritted his teeth as he and Astral watched Rio continued to pound against the door with her left hand. However, he then noticed a console right next to the door on his right.
"Rio, check it out!" Yuma called out to his girlfriend, getting her attention as she finally noticed the console. Yuma then walked up to the console and began pressing random buttons. "Hopefully, this'll help us get inside". The 13-year-old said, attempting to figure what he was working on. Rio and Astral watched Yuma attempt to figure out the console, before they each turned to look in separate directions. Astral turned to look at the door blocking their path, while Rio turned to look down the hallway. 'Everyone… I hope you're doing okay against those things'. The Ice Queen said in her mind in concern for her friends, hoping that they were doing alright against Orbital 5 and 6.
Meanwhile with the rest of the gang, they managed to split Orbital 5 and 6 up, just like Taiki suggested. Taiki, Cat and Caswell had Orbital 6, while Tori and Bronk had Orbital 5. Currently with Taiki, Cat and Caswell, the gymnastic boy and cat jumped out of a staircase with their class representative right behind them. Taiki and Cat run off quickly, but Caswell tripped and fell to the ground. "Caswell!" Taiki exclaimed in concern as he ran back to his friend. He grabbed hold of the blue haired boy's right hand, before he took off after Cat, bringing Caswell with him.
Just then, Orbital 6 jumped out of the staircase and landed right where Caswell had tripped. "That's right, scurry away! Ask any red catcher, the chase is part of the fun!" The spider themed robot said in a rather joyful voice, as if he was having great fun, before he chased after the three.
Meanwhile with Orbital 5, he was searching for Tori and Bronk, having lost sight of them. "Come out, come out, wherever you are!?" Orbital 5 called out to the two, not noticing Tori and Bronk hiding in the corner. He walked pass the corner, his heavy footsteps going with him. Thinking that he was gone, Tori and Bronk came out of hiding in the corner. However, out of nowhere, Orbital 5 jumped down from above in front of the corner, much to their surprise. "Found you!" The gorilla themed machine exclaimed, sounding jolly at finding his prey. Tori and Bronk quickly ran the other direction away from Orbital 5.
Meanwhile with Orbital 8, she was watching everything happen within the lab. She was still sitting down on her seat in front of the computer with several screens showing all that's going on within the warehouse. "Oh, come on! How hard can i-it be to get rid of a f-few teenagers!?" Orbital 8 exclaimed in frustration, getting very annoyed right now. "Okay, that's IT! No more Mrs. Nice Bot! Time to take out the trash!" The female robot said as she turned her chair around with her eyes flashing red, intending to deal with Rio, Yuma and their friends herself.
(Back inside the Empress's Key)
"My turn now! I draw!" Enna called out, drawing her card in a dramatic fashion and leaving a white veil with her right hand. The silver haired woman took a moment to look at the card that she drew, before instantly playing it. "I Summon Blizzard Oracle!" Enna called out, placing the card on the side of her Duel Disk. A card materialized in front of Enna, before it began glowing. A pale skinned female with flowing long icy blue hair, white eyes like snow appeared. She was wearing a pale blue satin hooded cloak over a long gleaming white long sleeve dress that reached her knees. She had white high heeled boots on that reached her dress and finally, a blue long staff in her right hand with a snowflake symbol at the tip.
(Blizzard Oracle/ Level: 4/ Attribute: Water/ Type: Spellcaster/ Effect/ ATK Points: 1500/ DEF Points: 1000/ Effect: If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can add 1 Water Attribute monster from your deck to your hand)
"I activate Blizzard Oracle's special ability! When she is Summoned, I can add one Water Attribute monster from my deck to my hand!" Enna explained her monster's special ability, watching Blizzard Oracle as she let out a fierce cry, before pointing her staff into the air. The snowflake on Blizzard Oracle's staff began gleaming icicle blue, before Enna's deck began glowing icicle blue as well.
A card then slotted out of the deck, which Enna picked up with her right hand's index, middle and thumb fingers, before holding the card up for Luna to see that it was Blizzard Phoenix's card. "I add Blizzard Phoenix to my hand!" The silver haired woman declared her choice, getting Luna to narrow her eyes.
"If I control a WATER Attribute monster, I can Special Summon my Blizzard Phoenix from my hand!" Enna called out, before placing the card on her Duel Disk's side. Blizzard Phoenix's card materialized on the field, before Blizzard Phoenix flew out of the card and into the air. The Winged Beast monster gave out a cry as flew above Blizzard Oracle, flapping her wings to stay airborne.
Blizzard Phoenix ATK Points: 1800/ Level: 4.
Enna then looked at her Duel Disk with caution in her eyes, as if what she was about to do next was dangerous. She took a deep breath with her eyes closed, before she opened them, then swiped her right hand into the air, leaving a white light as she moved her hand. "I Overlay the Level 4 Blizzard Phoenix and Blizzard Oracle!" The silver haired woman called out as her two monsters transformed into bright blue lights, before they flew into the air.
A galaxy-like portal appeared in front of Enna, blowing her hair in the breeze from the power that it was releasing. "With these two monsters, I build the Overlay Network! Xyz Summon!" The silver haired woman called out as the two bright blue lights flew into the galaxy portal, causing an explosion of energy. "Descend! Number 103: Ragnazero!" Enna called out, still holding her right hand into the air.
The number '103' flashed a red colour in alien language, before Number 103: Ragnazero appeared on the field, wielding her two katanas in her hands.
Number 103: Ragnazero ATK Points: 2400/ Rank: 4/ Overlay units: 2.
Luna looked up at Ragnazero in disbelief with wide eyes, as if she couldn't believe what she was seeing. Enna looked up at Ragnazero with cautious eyes, still wondering what the mystery of this card was.
(Meanwhile on Earth)
Yuma continued to press away on the console, but he had an annoyed frown on his face. Rio was behind her boyfriend, watching him in concern, while Astral was still facing the sealed off entrance. More screens popped up above the console, but none of them showed a way to unlock the sealed off door. "Darn it! Not more firewalls!" Yuma exclaimed in annoyance, getting Astral's attention as he looked at his partner.
"Yuma, what's wrong?" Astral questioned his partner in concern, having noticed the annoyance in his voice. "I can't hack this security system, and that means that door isn't opening!" The 13-year-old exclaimed in frustrations, before he brought up his fists, and then slammed them down on the console. Another screen then appeared above the console, but this one showed a picture, which caught everyone's attention.
The picture showed Kite, Luna and a little boy that the three of them didn't know. Kite was wearing a pink shirt and light brown pants. Luna had a light blue turtle neck and sleeveless t-shirt that showed her neck, black jeans and a white belt around it. Finally, the little boy had bluish white hair, a blue shirt and yellow shorts. The little boy was sitting down on a swing, laughing happily with his eyes closed, while Luna was right behind him, her arms wrapped around his shoulders, giving the boy a loving hug and was looking at him with a look of pure love on her face. Kite was kneeling down next to them, watching the two with a happy smile on his face.
Yuma, Rio and Astral all stared at the picture with wide eyes, especially the Ice Queen at seeing the look of pure love on her former best friend's face in the picture. "Is that really Kite? And is that that Luna girl you were talking about?" Yuma questioned his girlfriend in surprise, his eyes glued on Kite and Luna's image. Rio didn't answer her boyfriend; in fact she didn't even turn to face him. Her eyes were glued on Luna's image on the picture, or more exact, the look of love on her face, and the happiness in her eyes.
Even Astral seemed fascinated as he stared at the picture, honestly shocked to see the Galaxy-Eyes Master looking so harmless. "Who is that boy in the picture with Kite and Luna?" The Astral World being questioned his companions, even though he knew that they didn't know the answer. Rio continued to stare at the picture, before she lifted her right hand up, her hand hovering in front of the screen.
"…She looks so happy… Luna… is this really your new family?" Rio said in disbelief, seeing that the joy and love that Luna had in the picture far surpassed all the joy she had in their childhood together by miles. Suddenly out of nowhere, Rio's deck began flashing a bright silver colour, catching everyone by surprise. The flash grew bigger and brighter, forcing Yuma, Rio and Astral to shut their eyes.
(Unknown location)
Rio slowly opened her eyes, before she widened them in shock at what she saw before her. In front of her was the same demonic gate that Yuma and Astral saw before in their duel against Kite, the Gate of Destiny. Rio looked around herself and saw that she was in some sort of unknown world, standing at the edge of a crumbling land. "Rio Kastle, have you the courage?" The Door of Destiny questioned the Ice Queen, his voice leaving an echo, getting Rio to look up at the door in confusion.
"Courage for what, exactly?" Rio questioned the Door of Destiny, having no idea what this was about. "Enter the door and you shall gain new power, beyond anything you imagine. But to balance this power, you must sacrifice that which is most important to you". The Door of Destiny told the Ice Queen, answering her question and causing her to widen her eyes. "There is one who stands in your way, however". The demonic looking gate added.
'Does it mean Luna?' The Ice Queen said in her mind, her first guess being her childhood friend. "Use your skill to defeat this threat. Now, if you dare, enter this door. Enter and obtain the power Zexal!" The Gate of Destiny told Rio, as if it was beckoning her to enter, before a flash of light forced the Ice Queen to shut her eyes.
(Back on Earth)
Rio slowly opened her eyes and saw herself back in her world, still standing next to her boyfriend in front of the consol with Astral floating above them. Both Yuma and Astral had wide eyes at the sudden light show, and how quickly it latterly just disappeared. "What was that about?" Yuma questioned in confusion, wondering just what happened exactly. "I do not know, Yuma. Whatever that was, it's gone now". Astral said to his partner, also having no idea what just happened exactly.
"The power… of Zexal?" Rio whispered in confusion, immediately catching Yuma and Astral's attention as they turned to look at her and saw her confused look. "Rio, what's wrong?" Astral questioned the Ice Queen, wondering why she said Zexal's name in confusion. "Just now, that light took me to that gate you guys told me about. It was talking about Zexal and how to obtain it". Rio told her boyfriend and his partner, getting them to widen their eyes in shock. "Obtain the power of Zexal!" Astral whispered in disbelief, having thought that the legendary power belonged to only him and Yuma.
"Are you saying that you and Enna can use Zexal too?" Yuma questioned his girlfriend in disbelief, which Rio shook her head with an uncertain look on his face. "To be honest, I don't really know. That door wasn't exactly clear". The Ice Queen replied to her boyfriend, uncertain that she and Enna could pull off what he and Astral did in their Duel against Kite.
Just then, a beep caught everyone's attention. They all looked up at the sealed door and saw the top of the door had what appeared to be eyes there. "Alright you two, that's as far as you go!" A female voice called out, before the sealed off door began to open with bright light blocking the view of the other side.
Yuma and Rio fully turned to face whatever was coming, while Astral kept close to them. "Surrender now, or-or feel my fury!" The female voice demanded as the bright light cleared to reveal Orbital 8 coming up to them. Yuma, Rio and Astral all widened their eyes at the sight of Orbital 8 as she stopped in front of them. "Yuma, Rio, isn't that the robot that was with Kite?" Astral questioned his companions, thinking that the robot in front of them was Orbital 7.
"That's a good question. Hey, are you that robot that was with Kite?" Yuma questioned Orbital 8, receiving an annoyed look from her immediately. "NO! I-I am Orbital 8, Mistress Luna's robot partner, and trusted companion! Y-You're talking about my b-big brother!" Orbital 8 snapped at the teenage boy, telling him that she wasn't Kite's robot companion. Rio slightly widened her eyes in surprise upon learning this female robot's identity, something that was shared by Yuma and Astral. "Even Luna has a robot now?" The Ice Queen commented in surprise, before she dropped her surprised expression and replaced it with a deadly serious one.
"To be honest, I could care less who you are. Tell me where Luna and my key are, right now!?" Rio demanded, walking up to the female robot, easily towering over her. Orbital 8 lifted her head up to look at her mistress's old friend and narrowed her eyes dangerously. "That's none of your business! Take your sidekicks and get lost!" The female robot snapped at the Ice Queen, making Yuma and Astral narrow their eyes at the little robot.
"Not on your life, pal! We came here for Rio's key, and for her to settle things with her old friend! Tell us where your boss is!" Yuma told the female robot, walking up besides his girlfriend and glared down at Orbital 8. "We don't need this robot to tell us where Enna and the girl are. They must be down this road". Astral told his two companions, pointing down the hallway with his right hand's index fingers.
Yuma and Rio looked over Orbital 8 to the hallway, something that the female robot took notice of. "You two will not p-proceed any further! Be gone now, or else!" The female robot called out, before proceeding to firing something from her head into the air. It was a Duel Disk that looked incredible like Luna's Duel Disk. The Duel Disk soared through the air, before flying towards Orbital 8's left arm. It attached itself to the female robot's arm, synchronizing with her body and system. The top of Orbital 8's head then opened once more, before multiple cards came out and flew into the air. The cards then all gathered in the empty Deck Zone of the Duel Disk, before it activated.
Yuma, Rio and Astral all slightly widened their eyes in surprise, but not too much as they've seen robots Duel before, specifically Alpha and Lillybot. Orbital 8 held her left arm in front of her, acting as a boulder to block their path. "I will not allow you two to harm my Mistress anymore!" The female robot exclaimed in defiance, before her eyes flashed a little bit. The door then began to close again, making Yuma widen his eyes, while Rio and Astral gasped in horror.
"No!" Astral exclaimed in panic, knowing that they'll lose their chance if that door closes. Yuma gritted his teeth in frustration, before he acted on impulse. He turned to look at his girlfriend, before he placed his hands on her stomach and waist, making Rio widen her eyes in surprise and flush a bit red. Before she could even question Yuma, he then tossed Rio over Orbital 8 and onto the other side of the gate, right before it closed.
"What!" Orbital 8 exclaimed in surprise, starching her neck out to look at the shut gate. On the other side of the gate, Rio did a summersault and landed on her feet in front of the closed gate, before she turned around to look at it. The Ice Queen ran up to the closed gate and began banging her right fist on it. "Yuma! Are you there!?" The Ice Queen called out to her boyfriend in a worried voice.
On the other side of the sealed door, Yuma, Astral and Orbital 8 all heard Rio's voice loud and clear from their side. "I hear you Rio!" The teenage boy replied to his girlfriend, getting her to sigh in relief with her eyes closed. Rio then reopened her eyes with a concerned look. "Why did you do that? Now you and Astral can't get through!" The Ice Queen said to her boyfriend in a concerned tone, getting Orbital 8's attention as she retracted her neck.
"Not true!" The female robot exclaimed, getting Yuma and Astral to look at her, wanting an explanation on what she meant. "All you have to do to continue on is defeat me in a Duel!" The female robot explained what she meant, getting Yuma and Astral to narrow their eyes. "So that's it, huh?" The 13-year-old boy remarked, before he held up his left arm up. Yuma placed his right hand behind him, before swiping it out to the side and revealed that he was holding his advanced Duel Disk. He then placed his Duel Disk on his left forearm. "Then I'll just break right through you!" The 13-year-old exclaimed, thrusting his left hand up as his Duel Disk released a crimson bright light.
The world around Yuma, Astral and Orbital 8 changed to a red virtual world with red virtual cards flying around them all. The cards then transformed into crimson red beams that gathered inside of Yuma's Duel Disk. Once all the cards were gathered, the world around them returned to normal. "Rio, go on ahead! We'll deal with this!" Yuma called out his girlfriend as his Duel-Eye Tattoo appeared over his left eye, before he brought out his headset and placed it on, which activated.
"B-but Yuma…" Rio said in concern, both for her boyfriend and at the thought of facing Luna alone. "Don't worry, we'll be fine and we'll catch up to you! Besides, this is something you need to do!" Yuma told his girlfriend, his voice lacking any playfulness, showing how serious he was. The Ice Queen widened her eyes at her boyfriend's words, before she lowered with an uncertain look. "But… I… I don't know if I can face her…" The Ice Queen said in fear, uncertain that she could defeat Luna when her brother couldn't.
"Yes you can!" Yuma snapped at Rio, making her widen her eyes once more. "You can face her, and you will! Tori, Bronk, Cat, Caswell, Astral and I all believe in you, that is why we're willing to clear the way for you to face that Luna girl! Besides, you said she was your best friend, right? You have to be the one that faces her, because she's your friend!" The Syllables Duelist told his girlfriend, his voice full of conviction and full of belief in her. Rio lightly gasped in disbelief at her boyfriend's words, her spirit being lit up like a wild fire from Yuma's words.
"Yuma's right! Only you can face her! You and Luna shared a strong bond once, a bond that was important to you! You cannot allow her to sever the connection between you two!" Astral called out to the Ice Queen, agreeing with his partner that she must face the Moon Duelist. Rio was silent as she laid her head against the gate, her mind replaying the words of her boyfriend and his partner, before it shifted to her friends that came with them. After a moment or two, she lifted her head up from the door, now having a determine look in her eyes.
"You guys are right! I can't let Luna sever our connection any further! She was my best friend, and I have to do this!" Rio called out with resolve in her voice, getting both Yuma and Astral to smile at her words, while Orbital 8 narrowed his eyes. "I'll go on ahead, while you guys deal with this rust bucket! Just don't take too long! Good luck!" The Ice Queen told her companions, before she turned around and began running off down the hallway.
Back on their side, Yuma and Astral both had proud smiles on their faces, while Orbital 8 looked enraged. "S-Shock that girl! Mistress Luna will destroy her!" Orbital 8 called out with an annoyed tone, getting Yuma and Astral's attention. They both turned to face her and glared down at her. "That's where you're wrong! Rio's gonna hi-five the sky against her, just as I'm about to with you!" The Syllables Duelist retaliated at the female robot, holding his left arm up in front of his face. "Bring it on!" Orbital 8 snapped at Yuma, before her deck began shuffling for a moment before stopping. "Let's Duel!" Yuma and Orbital 8 called out, beginning their Duel with the female robot drawing five cards from her deck.
Yuma Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 5.
Orbital 8 Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 5.
(Play Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL - Sound Duel 1 - 10. Duel target LOCK ON!)
Astral flew next to his partner on his right. "Yuma! You must win this Duel quickly, but don't underestimate her!" Astral told his partner, getting Yuma to look at his partner and nod to him. "I'll take the first move! I draw!" Orbital 8 called out as she drew her card from her deck with her right hand, right between her robot hand's fingers.
Her Duel Disk's Field Spell Zone then opened with Orbital 8 placing a card there. "I activate the Field Spell, Xyz Territory!" The female robot called out as her Field Spell Zone closed, activating the Field Spell, but the world around them didn't change. "With this Field Spell in play, Xyz Monsters gain 200 ATK and DEF Points x its Rank during the Damage Step. And if it would be destroyed by a card effect, all I need to do is remove an Overlay Unit from an Xyz Monster I control to negate its destruction!" Orbital 8 explained her Field Spell's effect to her opponent, before picking another card from her hand. "I-I Summon Bujin Torifune in ATK Mode!" Orbital 8 called out, swiping the card on a Monster Zone of her Duel Disk, before a bright light appeared on her field and cleared to reveal Bujin Torifune.
Bujin Torifune ATK Points: 1500/ Level: 4.
"I-I activate Torifune's special ability! By tributing this card, I can Special Summon two Bujin monsters with different Types from my deck in DEF Position!" Orbital 8 explained her monster's special ability as Torifune transformed into a bright white portal. "Appear! Bujin Peacock and Bujin Sinyou!" The female robot called out as Bujin Peacock and Bujingi Sinyou both came out of the white portal and landed in front of her.
Bujin Peacock DEF Points: 700/ Level: 4.
Bujingi Sinyou DEF Points: 1000/ Level: 4.
"She now has two Level 4 monsters on her field". Astral pointed out with his arms crossed, while Yuma narrowed his eyes. "N-Now I activate the Continuous Spell, Bujintersection!" Orbital 8 called out, swiping another card into her Duel Disk, before a Spell card materialized on her field. "This Spell card has 3 effects. The first one is that Beast-Warrior Bujin Monsters I control cannot be destroyed by cards effect, except during the Battle Phase! The second is I can send a Bujin Monster from my hand to the Graveyard to negate one of your monsters' special abilities! And the last one is that during the End Phase, I can send it to the Graveyard to Summon a Bujin Monster from the Graveyard!" Orbital 8 explained her Continuous Spell card's effect to her opponent, getting both Yuma and Astral to widen their eyes in surprise.
"That Spell is a powerful one". Astral commented, seeing that Bujintersection was a powerful card. "It might cause some trouble". Yuma stated, while Orbital 8 thrust her right robot hand into the air. "I Overlay Bujin Peacock and Bujingi Sinyou!" Orbital 8 called out as her two monsters turned into bright yellow lights that flew into the air.
"With these two monsters, I build the Overlay Network and Xyz Summon Bujintei Susanowo!" The female robot called out as a red Xyz portal appeared in front of her, before the two lights flew into it, causing an explosion of energy. From the explosion of energy appeared Bujintei Susanowo, wielding its two swords up with two yellow overlay units circling around it.
Bujintei Susanowo ATK Points: 2400/ Rank: 4/ Overlay units: 2.
"Now, I-I activate Bujin Torifune's special ability from the Graveyard! When I Xyz Summon a Bujin Xyz Monster from the Graveyard, I can equip that card to the Xyz Monster!" Orbital 8 called out as Susanowo gained Torifune's wings on its back. "As long as this card is equipped to a monster, all monsters it destroys are banished!" The female robot further explained her monster's special ability, before swiping her right hand in front of her. "Now I activate Susanowo's special ability!" The pink robot called out as Susanowo absorbed an overlay unit into its right sword.
"By using an Overlay Unit, I can either add a Bujin monster to my hand, or send it to the Graveyard!" Orbital 8 explained her monster's special ability, before her deck began glowing gold with a single card slotting out. The female robot took ahold of her card with her right hand, before she held it up. "I add Bujin Mikazuchi to my hand!" Orbital 8 revealed her choice, before she added the card to the 3 other cards in her hand.
"I-I'll end my turn with once face-down card!" The female robot declared her turn, swiping a card into her Duel Disk, before a card materialized in front of her.
(Music end)
Yuma Life Points: 4000/ Number of cards in hand: 5.
"My turn!" Yuma called out, holding his right hand at the edge of the Duel Disk, before a single crimson virtual card came out of the orb and into between his index and middle fingers. "I draw!" The teenager added, drawing his card in a dramatic fashion by swiping his right hand out to the side. "Activate Onomatopickup!" Astral told his partner as the virtual lens appeared in front of his partner's left eye, showing his starting hand.
"Gladly! I activate the Continuous Spell card, Onomatopickup!" Yuma called out as he swiped his right hand in front of him, showing that the card he drew was Onomatopickup. The card materialized on the field, before multiple crimson cards appeared in front of Yuma. "Upon activation, I can add an Onomat card from my deck to my hand!" The Syllables explained his Spell card's effect, bringing his right hand up and pressed on a single card.
The rest of the crimson cards disappeared, while the one that Yuma picked turned around to show Orbital 8 that it was Onomatopaira. "I'll add the Spell card, Onomatopaira!" Yuma declared his choice, swiping his right hand in front of him to grab ahold of the Spell card, before holding it out. "And now I'll activate it!" The Syllables Duelist called out as the virtual blade appeared above his Duel Disk, before swiping the virtual card into it.
The Spell card materialized on the field, before it began glowing. "By discarding a card from my hand, like my Gogogo Golem…!" Yuma began to explain, holding up his right hand as a crimson virtual card of Gogogo Golem appeared between his fingers, before disappearing. "I can add two "Zubaba", "Gagaga", "Gogogo" or "Dododo" monsters from my deck to my hand, but they cannot be of the same category". The Syllables Duelist continued to explain her Spell card's effect as two crimson virtual cards came out of his Duel Disk's orb, which he drew with his right hand's index and middle fingers.
Yuma held his right hand up in front of him to see what the two cards were, before holding them out, showing them to be Gogogo Giant and Zubababancho Gagagacoat. "I'll add Gogogo Giant and Zubababancho Gagagacoat to my hand!" Yuma made his choice as Zubababancho Gagagacoat's card disappeared. "Then I'll Summon Gogogo Giant!" The Syllables Duelist called out, before swiping his card onto his Duel Disk's virtual blade. A dark brown tornado appeared in front of Yuma and Astral, before it cleared to reveal Gogogo Giant with the Rock-Type monster thrusting its fists out to the side.
Gogogo Giant ATK Points: 2000/ Level: 4.
"This monster can bring back a Gogogo monster from the Graveyard in DEF Mode upon being Summoned!" Astral explained Gogogo Giant's special ability for his partner as a black portal appeared on the ground, before yellow sparkles came out and came together to form Gogogo Golem in his brown form, before it crossed its large arms in an x shape shield.
Gogogo Golem DEF Points: 1500/ Level: 4.
"The price of using this ability is that Gogogo Giant must switch to DEF Position!" The heterochromia eyed male added as Gogogo Giant brought its hands up in an "x" shape shield.
Gogogo Giant DEF Points: 0.
Yuma then swiped his right hand up into the air. "I Overlay the Level 4 Gogogo Golem and Gogogo Giant!" The Syllables Duelist called out as his two monsters turned into bright brown lights and flew into the air. A red Xyz portal then appeared in front of Yuma and Astral with the Syllables Duelist still holding his right hand out. "With these two monsters, I build the Overlay Network!" Yuma called out as the two bright brown lights flew into the Xyz portal, causing an explosion of energy. "Zubaba General's coming to join the fight!" The Syllables Duelist called out, holding a crimson virtual card of Zubaba General with his right hand's index, middle and thumb fingers. From the explosion of energy arise Zubaba General, his greatsword stabbed into the ground with his hands on the bottom of the handle and his cape blowing. Finally, there were two brown overlay units circling around the Warrior-Type Xyz Monster.
Zubaba General ATK Points: 2000/ Rank: 4/ Overlay units: 2.
Orbital 8 looked up at the Xyz Monster that towered over her Bujintei Susanowo. "T-The bigger they are, the harder they fall. Your big, bad general is nothing compared to my Susanowo!" Orbital 8 exclaimed with an arrogant tone, making Yuma smirk at her. "We'll see about that". The teenage boy said with a confident voice, making Orbital 8 frown in confusion.
Yuma then thrust his right hand out, while his left hand formed into a fist. "I activate Zubaba General's special ability! By using an Overlay Unit, I can equip a Warrior-Type to him, and Zubaba General gains ATK Points equal to the monsters equipped to him!" Yuma explained his Xyz Monster's special ability as Zubaba General grabbed hold of his sword's handle with both hands, before holding it up to the air and absorbed an overlay unit into it. Yuma held up his right hand as a crimson virtual card of Dododo Warrior appeared between his index and middle fingers.
"I'll equip Zubaba General with my Dododo Warrior, granting him 2300 more ATK Points!" The Syllables Duelist declared his choice as the virtual card of Dododo Warrior disappeared. Dododo Warrior then appeared, smashing up from the ground and giving a battle cry, before turning into orange energy that surged around Zubaba General's sword.
Zubaba General ATK Points: 2000 + 2300 = 4300.
Despite the increase of ATK Points, Orbital 8 didn't look threaten. She just had a natural expression on her face, as if the ATK Point boost didn't matter to her. The lack of reaction made both Yuma and Astral narrow their eyes, figuring out that Orbital 8 must have a plan in mind. Deciding to see what she was up to, Yuma thrust his right fist out towards Bujintei Susanowo. "Zubaba General, let em feel your blade! Attack Bujintei Susanowo!" The Syllables Duelist commanded his Xyz Monster, which Zubaba General gave out a cry as he brought his sword down and held it in front of him, before charging towards Bujintei Susanowo.
"You imbecile! I activate the special ability of Bujingi Sinyou from the Graveyard!" Orbital 8 called out, swiping her right robotic hand out in front of her. Bujingi Sinyou then appeared in front of Bujintei Susanowo, looking see through as a ghost. "During the Damage Step, if a Beast-Warrior Bujin monster I control battles an opponent's monster, I can banish this card from my Graveyard. Doing so grants my monster your monster's current ATK until the end of the Damage Step and the battle damage you take is halved!" The female robot explained her monster's special ability as Sinyou transformed into purple energy that was absorbed by Susanowo, powering him up.
Bujintei Susanowo ATK Points: 2400 + 4300 + 6700.
"Ahahaha! With this, victory is mine next turn!" Orbital 8 laughed out gleefully, but Yuma just kept smirking. "Think again!" Yuma called out as he held up his right hand up in front of his left shoulder with his index and middle fingers out, before a virtual card appeared between them. "I activate the Quick-Play Spell card, Ego Boost!" The Syllables Duelist called out as he flipped the card over, showing it to be Ego Boost, before the virtual card disappeared.
"This card not only gives Zubaba General 1000 extra ATK Points until the end of the Battle Phase, it also reduces your monster's ATK Points back to its original ATK Points!" Yuma explained his Spell card's effect as Zubaba General gained a bright golden aura around itself. The aura was so bright that it shined down on Bujintei Susanowo, forcing it to cover its eyes with its swords.
Zubaba General ATK Points: 4300 + 1000 = 5300.
Bujintei Susanowo ATK Points: 6700 – 4300 = 2400.
This time, Orbital 8 did react in shock. "O-Oh no!" The female robot exclaimed in horror, now having nothing to do. "And now your Field Spell's effect activates! Both our monsters gains 200 ATK Points x their Ranks!" Yuma reminded his opponent as flames surrounded both Zubaba General and Susanowo. "They're both Rank 4, meaning that's 800 Extra ATK and DEF Points for them both, but Ego Boost keeps Bujintei Susanowo's ATK Points at their origin, meaning Zubaba General will be the only one to be powered up". Astral commented with his arms crossed as the flames around Bujintei Susanowo slightly died down.
Zubaba General ATK Points: 5300 + 800 = 6100/ DEF Points: 1000 + 800 = 1800.
Bujintei Susanowo DEF Points: 1600 + 800 = 2400.
Bujintei Susanowo brought its swords together in front of him, before he charged towards Zubaba General. The two drew closer and eventually clashed their swords against each other, but Susanowo's swords instantly shattered into pieces, before he was impaled in the stomach. Susanowo gave out a cry of pain, before he exploded. The force of the explosion blew Orbital 8 off the ground and into the air, crying out as she flew. (6100 – 2400 = 3700)
Orbital 8 Life Points: 4000 – 3700 = 300.
Zubaba General ATK Points: 6100 – 1800 = 4300/ DEF Points: 1800 – 800 = 1000.
Orbital 8 slammed into the door very hard, before she slide down to the ground, keeping a hold of her 3 remaining cards in her hand. "Well done Yuma, you've already managed to reduce her Life Points past 1000". Astral praised his partner, a bit impressed with how he did on his first turn. Yuma grew a slightly embarrassed smile on his face as he looked to the side, before he looked back at Orbital 8 and saw her getting to her feet.
"T-This Duel isn't over y-yet!" The female robot exclaimed, before she thrust out her right hand. "I activate the Quick-Play Spell, Xyz Stand!" Orbital 8 called out as her face down card flipped over, before she picked up one of her 3 cards in hand, and then held it out. "I also activate the special ability of Bujin Mikazhuchi from my hand!" She added as the card began glowing. "When a Beast-Warrior Bujin monster is destroyed by battle or by card effects and sent to the Graveyard, I can Special Summon this card from my hand!" The female robot explained her monster's special ability as she placed the card on a Monster Zone of her Duel Disk. Bujin Mikazhuchi's card materialized on the field, before it turned into blue sparkles that gathered together and formed Bujin Mikazhuchi.
Bujin Mikazhuchi ATK Points: 1900/ Level: 4.
"Now my Xyz Stand Spell card! If an Xyz Monster I control was destroyed by battle and sent to the Graveyard, I can Special Summon it back to the field!" Orbital 8 explained her Spell card's effect as a black portal appeared on the ground in front of her, before Bujintei Susanowo floated out of it.
Bujintei Susanowo ATK Points: 2400/ Rank: 4/ Overlay units: 0.
Yuma narrowed his eyes at seeing this, before his lens appeared over his left hand and showed his 3 cards remaining in his hand. He brought up his right hand as a virtual card appeared between his index and middle fingers. "I'll set a face down and end my turn!" Yuma declared his turn over, swiping his right hand into his Duel Disk's virtual blade, before a face-down card materialized in front of him.
Orbital 8 Life Points: 300/ Number of cards in hand: 2.
"I draw!" The female robot called out, drawing her card in a dramatic fashion, before holding the card out. "I equip Bujintei Susanowo with the Xyz Crown Equip Spell card!" Orbital 8 called out as she slotted the Spell card into her Duel Disk. The Equip Spell materialized on the field, before firing a white light at Susanowo, striking his back and causing a white aura to surround the Xyz Monster. "With this Spell card equipped to him, Susanowo's Rank is treated as a Level instead!" Orbital 8 explained her Spell card's effect, before she looked up at her Xyz Monster.
Bujintei Susanowo Rank: 4 = Level: 4.
"And the best part is that when it is used to Xyz Summon, it is treated as 2 monsters!" The female robot added, before swiping her right hand into the air. "I Overlay my now Level 4 Bujintei Susanowo and Bujin Mikazhuchi!" Orbital 8 called out as Susanowo split into two, before they, along with Mikazhuchi transformed into bright yellow lights, before they flew into the air.
A red Xyz portal appeared in front of Orbital 8 on the ground. "W-With these two monsters, I build the Overlay Network and Xyz Summon Bujinki Amaterasu!" The female robot called out as the two lights flew into the red Xyz portal, causing an explosion of energy. Bujinki Amaterasu rose up from the explosion with two yellow overlay units circling around it.
Bujinki Amaterasu ATK Points: 2600/ Rank: 4/ Overlay units: 2.
"Be on your guard, Yuma. Who knows what this creature can do". Astral warned his partner with narrowed eyes directed at Bujinki Amaterasu. "I've got this". Yuma replied to his partner, confident that he can handle whatever Orbital 8 throws at him. "W-We'll see about that! I activate Bujinki Amaterasu's special ability!" Orbital 8 called out, thrusting her right hand out as Amaterasu absorbed an overlay unit into its sword, causing it to glow a white colour.
"By using an Overlay Unit, I can activate her effect, which depends on whoever turn's it is! Since it's my turn, I can use the effect that activates on my turn! I can target one of my banished Level 4 or lower monsters and Special Summon it! Return, Bujingi Sinyou!" Orbital 8 called out, watching as Amaterasu fired a white beam from its sword at the ground, creating a white portal upon impact. From the portal came Bujingi Sinyou, which the Beast-Type monster gave out a cry.
Bujingi Sinyou ATK Points: 1500/ Level: 4.
"Now I-I Summon Bujin Boar!" Orbital 8 called out, swiping a card onto her Duel Disk's Monster Zone. A portal appeared in front of the female robot, before Bujin Boar came charging out of it.
Bujin Boar ATK Points: 1100/ Level: 4.
"I now Overlay Bujin Boar and Bujingi Sinyou!" Orbital 8 called out as her two monsters turned into bright yellow lights that flew into the air. "With these two monsters, I build the Overlay Network and Xyz Summon Bujintei Tsukuyomi!" The female robot called out as a red Xyz portal appeared in front of her, before the two lights flew into it, causing an explosion of energy. From the explosion of energy appeared Bujintei Tsukuyomi with two yellow overlay units circling around it.
Bujintei Tsukuyomi ATK Points: 1800/ Rank: 4/ Overlay units: 2.
"Time to refill my hand! I activate Tsukuyomi's special ability!" Orbital 8 called out, swiping her right hand out as Tsukuyomi absorbed an overlay unit into its sword, before holding his weapon up and unleashing a bright light. "First, b-by discarding my entire hand…!" The female robot began, taking her last card in her hand into her right hand, showing it to be Bujingi Hare, before discarding it to the Graveyard Zone of her Duel Disk.
"Then I draw 2 cards!" The female robot finished, drawing two more cards from her deck in a dramatic fashion. "Now I activate Bujintersection's effect! B-By discarding my Bujingi Fox!" Orbital 8 began as she discarded the card to the Graveyard Zone of her Duel Disk. "Your monster's special abilities a-are negated!" Orbital 8 finished as yellow flames came out of her Continuous Spell card, taking the shape of Bujingi Fox, before charging forward to Zubaba General and head butted him. The orange energy around Zubaba General's sword dispersed, along with the yellow flames.
Zubaba General ATK Points: 4300 – 2300 = 2000.
"Terrific". Yuma remarked with narrowed eyes. "T-Time for some payback! Bujinki Amaterasu, attack Zubaba General!" Orbital 8 commanded her Xyz Monster, swiping her right hand out as Amaterasu charged towards Zubaba General with its sword up. "Xyz Territory's effect now activates! Now both our Xyz Monsters gain 200 ATK Points x their Ranks!" The female robot reminded her opponent as flames surrounded both Amaterasu and Zubaba General.
Zubaba General ATK Points: 2000 + 800 = 2800/ DEF Points: 1000 + 800 = 1800.
Bujinki Amaterasu ATK Points: 2600 + 800 = 3400/ DEF Points: 2500 + 800 = 3300.
Both Zubaba General and Amaterasu swiped their blades at each other and clashed, creating a shockwave. However, after a moment, Zubaba General's blade shattered into pieces, before the Xyz Monster exploded. The force of the explosion blew Yuma off his feet and into the air. (3400 – 2800 = 600)
Yuma Life Points: 4000 – 600 = 3400.
Bujinki Amaterasu ATK Points: 3400 – 800 = 2600/ DEF Points: 3300 – 800 = 2500.
Yuma stayed in control in mid-air as he landed on his feet safely. Astral flew besides his friend as both of them stared up at Orbital 8. "Now, Bujintei Tsukuyomi, attack him directly!" Orbital 8 commanded her second Xyz Monster. Tsukuyomi drew her sword, before he charged towards Yuma. "I suggest Summoning Gagaga Gardna". Astral suggested to his partner, his arms still crossed. "Sure! I activate Gagaga Gardna's special ability from my hand!" The Syllables Duelist called out, holding up his right hand as a virtual card of Gagaga Gardna appeared between his index and middle fingers,
"When I'm attacked directly, I can Special Summon this card from my hand in ATK Mode!" Yuma explained his monster's special ability as her Duel Disk's virtual blade appeared, before he swiped his right hand across it with Gagaga Gardna's virtual card disappearing. Gagaga Gardna's card materialized on the field, before it glowed and the Warrior-Type monster emerged from the glow, giving out a battle cry.
Gagaga Gardna ATK Points: 1500/ Level: 4.
"Y-Your Gardna is no match for my Tsukuyomi!" Orbital 8 stated with an unimpressed look on her face. "We'll see about that! I activate the Trap, Guardraw!" Yuma called out, swiping his right hand forward as his face down card flipped itself over, before releasing a bright light. "This card switches my Gagaga Gardna into DEF Mode…!" Yuma began to explain his Trap card's effect as Gagaga Gardna's shield appeared in front of him, which the Warrior-Type monster took ahold of it.
Gagaga Gardna DEF Points: 2000.
"Then I get to draw a card!" The teenage boy added as he drew another virtual card from his Duel Disk in a dramatic fashion. "So what!? Your Gagaga Gardna is still going to be destroyed! Thanks to my Xyz Territory, my Tsukuyomi gains 200 ATK Points x his Rank!" Orbital 8 called out as flames appeared over Bujintei Tsukuyomi, increasing his power.
Bujintei Tsukuyomi ATK Points: 1800 + 800 = 2600/ DEF Points: 2300 + 800 = 3100.
"Gagaga Gardna isn't going anywhere! I activate another ability of his!" The Syllables Duelist called out as he flipped the virtual card over to reveal that it was Pinecono. "By discarding a card, like my Pinecono from my hand, Gardna cannot be destroyed in battle!" Yuma explained his monster's ability as Pinecono's card dispersed into sparkles. Tsukuyomi's sword slammed into Gagaga Gardna's sword, but held strong. After a moment, Tsukuyomi leaped away from Gagaga Gardna and landed besides Amaterasu.
Bujintei Tsukuyomi ATK Points: 2600 – 800 = 1800/ DEF Points: 3100 – 800 = 2300.
"Now Pinecono's special ability activates! When this card is sent from my hand to the Graveyard, I can Special Summon him!" Yuma explained his monster's special ability. A black portal appeared in front of Yuma, before Pincecono floated out of it.
Pinecono DEF Points: 200/ Level: 1.
Orbital 8 looked annoyed now at seeing her attack fail. "Y-You're just annoying right now! I set one card and end my turn!" The female robot exclaimed in annoyance, before she took the last card in her hand and slotted it into her Duel Disk. A face down card then materialized on the field in front of the female robot.
Yuma Life Points: 3400/ Number of cards in hand: 2.
Yuma placed his right hand right at the edge of his Duel Disk, before a virtual card came out of the orb and into between his index and middle fingers. "My turn now! I draw!" Yuma called out as he drew his card in a dramatic fashion by swiping his right hand out to the side, before holding it in front of his face. The Syllables Duelist grew a smirk at seeing what the card was, before holding it out for Orbital 8 to see. "I activate the Xyz Revenge Spell card!" Yuma called out, before swiping the card into his Duel Disk's virtual blade.
The Spell card materialized on the field, before it began glowing. "If the opponent controls an Xyz Monster with Overlay Units, this Spell card Special Summons an Xyz Monster from our Graveyard and then takes an Overlay Unit from the opponent's monster and attach it to ours!" Astral explained the Spell card on his partner's behalf, before Xyz Revenge's Spell card dispersed into sparkles.
A black portal then appeared in front of Yuma, before the teenage boy held his right hand out to the portal. "Come on back, Zubaba General!" The Syllables Duelist called out, watching as Zubaba General floated up from within the portal into the air, holding his sword with both his hands with his cape blowing. Bujintei Tsukuyomi's last Overlay Unit then shot out towards Zubaba General, changing colours to an orange colour, before it began circling around him.
Zubaba General ATK Points: 2000/ Rank: 4/ Overlay Units: 0 + 1 = 1.
Yuma then swiped his right hand out to the side. "I now activate the effect of Onomatopickup!" The Syllables Duelist called out as his Continuous Spell began glowing, before a white aura appeared over Gagaga Gardna and Pinecono. "I target a "Zubaba", "Gagaga", "Gogogo", or "Dododo" monster I control, and then all monsters I currently control become the same Level as that monster. I select the Level 4 Gagaga Gardna, and now Pinecono becomes the same Level as him". Yuya explained his Continuous Spell's effect as Pinecono's Level went up.
Pinecono Level: 1 + 3 = 4.
"Yuma, be careful! If that robot used Bujingi Sinyou for Tsukuyomi's effect, she has a means to block our attack". Astral warned his partner, reminding him of Nujingi Sinyou's special ability and how dangerous it was. "If that's the case, let's go with another option". Yuma said with a grin, before holding his right hand up into the air. "I Overlay the Level 4 Gagaga Gardna and Pinecono!" The Syllables Duelist called out as his two monsters transformed into bright orange lights, before descending into the air.
A red Xyz portal then appeared on the ground in front of Yuma and Astral. "With these two monsters, I build the Overlay Network!" The Syllables Duelist called out as the two orange lights flew into the Xyz portal, causing an explosion of energy. "Round them up Gagaga Cowboy!" Yuma called out as Gagaga Cowboy appeared from the explosion of energy, kneeling down on his right knee and taking aim at Orbital 8 with its blasters.
Gagaga Cowboy DEF Points: 2400/ Rank: 4/ Overlay Units: 2.
"With Gagaga Cowboy in DEF Mode, you can use his Special Ability to deal 800 points of damage to Orbital 8 directly". Astral commented with his arms crossed, getting Yuma to chuckle a bit. "Exactly! Gagaga Cowboy, use your special ability and take out Orbital 8!" Yuma called out to his Xyz Monster as Gagaga Cowboy absorbed an overlay unit into his blasters, before firing a barrage of yellow energy bullets towards Orbital 8.
"I-I am not finished yet! I-I play the Trap card, Life Regeneration!" The female robot called out, holding her right hand out as her face-down card flipped itself over. "All damage I take from a card effect instead increases my Life Points now!" Orbital 8 explained his Trap card's effect, before the card created a golden barrier around her. When the energy bullets came into contact with the golden barrier, they turned into yellow sparkles that rained down on Orbital 8 instead.
Orbital 8 Life Points: 300 + 800 = 1100.
"Looks like this rust bucket is tougher than I expected". Yuma remarked with a small frown on his face as he held up his right hand in front of his left shoulder, before a virtual card appeared between his index and middle fingers. "I'm gonna need backup, so I'm activating the Xyz Treasure Spell card!" The Syllables Duelist called out as the virtual card disappeared, before Xyz Treasure's card materialized on the field.
Zubaba General, Gagaga Cowboy, Bujinki Amaterasu and Bujintei Tsukuyomi all began gleaming a gold colour. "For every Xyz Monster on my field, I get to draw a card! Since there's 4 Xyz Monsters, that's 4 cards for me!" Yuma explained his Spell card's effect as he placed his right hand at the front of his Duel Disk, before 4 virtual cards came out of the orb and into his hand. Yuma then drew the cards, holding them with his index, middle and thumb fingers. Yuma then looked at the four cards that he drew, before three of them disappeared.
"I'll set a face down card…" Yuma began, swiping the virtual card into his virtual blade as a face down card materialized on the field. "Then I'll activate Zubaba General's special ability!" Yuma continued as he thrust his right fist out. Zubaba General absorbed its remaining overlay unit into its sword, before holding it up above his head into the air. "Just like last time, I can equip any Warrior-Type monster from my hand to him, and he gains that monster's ATK Points". The Syllables Duelist explained his Xyz Monster's effect once more, before holding up his right hand with a virtual version of Zubaba Knight's card appearing between his index and middle fingers.
"This time, I'll equip him with the Zubaba Knight!" Yuma called out as the virtual card disappeared, before Zubaba Knight's card materialized on the field. The card then began glowing, before Zubaba Knight appeared from the glow, crying out its name. The Warrior-Type monster then transformed into golden energy that shot out towards Zubaba General's sword and began surging around it.
Zubaba General ATK Points: 2000 + 1600 = 3600.
"Is this a wise decision?" Astral questioned his partner, getting Yuma to look up at him and nod. "We need her to use her countermeasure, and this is the only way". The teenage boy told his partner, before turning to look back at his opponent. "Zubaba General, let em feel your blade! Attack Bujintei Tsukuyomi!" Yuma commanded his Xyz Monster, pointing towards Tsukuyomi with his right hand's index finger.
'On guard!' A male voice called out from Zubaba General, brining his sword down in front of him, before charging towards Bujintei Tsukuyomi. Yuma and Astral slightly widen their eyes upon hearing the voice from Zubaba General, while Orbital 8 acted. "I-I activate the special ability of Bujingi Sinyou from the Graveyard!" Orbital 8 called out, swiping her right robotic hand out in front of her.
Bujingi Sinyou then appeared in front of Bujintei Tsukuyomi, looking see through as a ghost. "During the Damage Step, if a Beast-Warrior Bujin monster I control battles an opponent's monster; I can banish this card from my Graveyard. Doing so grants my monster your monster's current ATK until the end of the Damage Step and the battle damage you take is halve!" The female robot explained her monster's special ability as Sinyou transformed into purple energy that was absorbed by Tsukuyomi, powering him up.
Bujintei Tsukuyomi ATK Points: 1800 + 3600 = 5400.
"S-strike back, Bujintei Tsukuyomi!" Orbital 8 commanded her Xyz Monster. Tsukuyomi brought up his sword, before he charged towards Zubaba General. "Now Xyz Territory's effect activates! Both our monsters once again gains 200 ATK and DEF Points!" The female robot reminded her opponent as flames appeared over Zubaba General and Bujintei Tsukuyomi.
Zubaba General ATK Points: 3600 + 800 = 4400/ DEF Points: 1000 + 800 = 1800.
Bujintei Tsukuyomi ATK Points: 5400 + 800 = 6200/ DEF Points: 2300 + 800 = 3100.
Both Zubaba General and Bujintei Tsukuyomi then clashed blades with each other, creating a shockwave once more with Zubaba General's blade shattering into pieces. Time seemed to go slow as Zubaba General looked over his left shoulder to look at Yuma and Astral, before he gave them an understanding look, as if he understood their actions. Yuma and Astral widened their eyes at Zubaba General's actions, but before they could even say anything, the Warrior-Type Xyz Monster exploded. (6200 – 4400 = 1800 – 900 = 900)
Yuma Life Points: 3400 – 900 = 2500.
Bujintei Tsukuyomi ATK Points: 6200 – 800 = 5400 – 3600 = 1800/ DEF Points: 3100 – 800 = 2300.
The explosion forced Yuma to cover his eyes with his right forearm to protect them from the shockwaves, while Astral wasn't bothered. Soon the shockwaves died down, allowing Yuma to lower his right arm and saw Tsukuyomi return to its Duelist's side and float besides Orbital 8. "Now that Bujingi Sinyou is out of the way, I can attack without worry. I'll end my turn here!" Yuma declared his turn over, having no other move to make.
Astral, floating besides Yuma on his right, looked past Orbital 8 towards the sealed off door. He narrowed his eyes in concern for his wife, hoping that she was alright at the moment.
(Back inside the Empress's Key)
Luna continued to stare up at Number 103: Ragnazero in disbelief with wide eyes, as if she couldn't believe what she was seeing. "Impossible… one Number over 100 was hard enough to believe, but another one? How is this possible?" Luna questioned in disbelief as she continued to stare up at Ragnazero, while Enna did the same, but not in disbelief. Enna was looking up at the Fairy-Type Monster with a requesting expression on her face, as if she was requesting permission from the Xyz Monster to use her.
Ragnazero looked down at Enna and narrowed her eyes at her. After a moment or two, the Fairy-Type Monster gave a nod to the silver haired woman, giving her permission to use her. Enna returned the nod to Ragnazero, before she turned to look back at Luna. "I activate Blizzard Phoinex's special ability!" The silver haired woman called out as she thrust her right hand out, while an icy blue aura appeared over Ragnazero. "When she's used as Xyz Material for a WATER Xyz Monster, it gains 1000 ATK Points!" Enna explained her monster's special ability as Ragnazero gave out a battle cry, before powering up.
Number 103: Ragnazero ATK Points: 2400 + 1000 = 3400.
"3400 ATK Points!" Luna called out in surprise at seeing Ragnazero's increased ATK Points. "Go Ragnazero, attack Dragulas the Vampiric Dragon!" Enna called out, pointing towards Dragulas with her right hand's index finger. Ragnazero gave out a cry, before she shot out towards Dragulas, holding her katanas up to strike the dragon down.
"Not so fast! I activate the Trap, Waboku!" Luna called out, holding her right hand out as the middle face-down card flipped itself over, before it began glowing. From the glow came three blue robed humans, blocking Ragnazero's path to Dragulas. Ragnazero swung her katanas at the three blue robed, striking them, but no harm was done to them as they all had peaceful looks on their faces.
Enna slightly widened her eyes in surprise, while Luna grew a smirk on her face. "Waboku keeps me from taking battle damage this turn, and my monsters are safe from destruction". The Moon Duelist explained her Trap card's effect with a slightly smug tone, making Enna narrow her eyes, before she looked at the 6 cards in her hand. She picked up two cards with her right hand and held them up. "I'll set 2 face-downs and end my turn!" The silver haired woman declared her turn over as she swiped the two cards into her Duel Disk, causing two face-downs to appear in front of her.
Luna Life Points: 1000/ Number of cards in hand: 1.
"I draw!" Luna called out as she drew her card in a dramatic fashion with her right hand, taking a moment to look at the card, and then held it out. "I equip Dragulas with the Xyz Unit Equip Spell!" The Moon Duelist called out as she slotted the card into her Duel Disk. Xyz Unit's card materialized on the field, before a silver beam shot out of the card and struck Dragulas' back, causing Wyrn-Type Monster to glow a silver light. "This Equip Spell increases my Xyz Monster's ATK Points by 200 x its Rank! Since Dragulas is Rank 6, that's 1200 points!" Luna explained her Spell card's effect as Dragulas powered up.
Number 24: Dragulas the Vampiric Dragon ATK Points: 2400 + 1200 = 3600.
Luna then pointed towards Ragnazero with her left hand's index finger, while keeping a hold of her last card with her middle, ring and pinkie fingers. "Dragulas, attack Number 103: Ragnazero!" The Moon Duelist commanded her Xyz Monster. Dragulas let out a powerful roar, before firing a red blast attack from its mouth at Ragnazero. "Not a chance! I activate the Trap, Xyz Coat!" Enna called out, thrusting her right hand as one of her face-down cards flipped itself over.
"This Trap keeps an Xyz Monster I control from being destroyed by battle and card effects!" The silver haired woman explained her Trap card's effect as Ragnazero held her katanas in front of her in a x shape shield, before Dragulas's blast attack made contact and dispersed, but created a shockwave that slightly pushed Enna back a bit. (3600 – 3400 = 200)
Enna Life Points: 900 – 200 = 700.
"I'll end my turn here! You're up!" Luna declared her turn over, having no other move to make.
Enna Life Points: 700/ Number of cards in hand: 4.
"My turn now!" Enna called out as she placed her right hand's index, middle and thumb fingers on the top card of her deck, only to widen her eyes in surprise upon feeling a jolt go through her body. The silver haired woman looked down at her right hand as she drew her card slowly, before she turned the card over and saw that it was, to her shock, Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force.
'Barian's Force…' Enna said in her mind, shocked that even this card was called upon. As she continued to hold the card with her right hand, the jolt returned once more, getting Enna to slightly grit her teeth, before she looked up at Luna and saw her impassive face. 'Activating the card of Barian World might be risky, but perhaps it can obtain victory for me. I've got no choice'. The silver haired woman said in her mind, before she held up the Spell card into the air.
"I activate the Spell, Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force!" Enna called out to the heavens as her Spell card unleashed a pinkish glow. Enna gave a light gasp as she felt her energy began to get absorbed, but she held strong. "This Spell ranks up my Xyz Monster into a Chaos Xyz Monster that's one rank higher!" Enna explained her Spell card's effect as the glow intensified. "With this card, I rebuild the Overlay Network with Number 103: Ragnazero!" Enna exclaimed as a dark pink aura surrounded Ragnazero, before turning into a bright light that went into a galaxy portal that appeared in the sky.
The Number '103' flashed in a dark pink colour, before changing into a darker shade of the colour. In a red world, there was a gate with the Barian's symbol on it. The seal then cracked, before the gate busted open. "Appear Number C103: Ragnafinity!" Enna called out to the heavens as her new monster appeared.
Appearing was Ragnazero, but she has gone under a huge transformation. She traded her white geisha outfit for a long flowing dark purple dress with black spikes dangling from the sides and the lower ends like ice crystals. Black mechanical wings erected out of her back, giving her the appearance of a fallen angel, and her head was now adorned with a tail triple pronged black crown, with it and her white facemask covering her head, save only her ruby eyes. Lastly, she discarded her katanas and her new weapon of choice was an enormous double bladed scythe with its curbed blades spinning in the air like crimson crescent moons. In front of the beautiful monster were three crystals that were her chaos overlay units.
Number C103: Ragnafinity ATK Points: 2800/ Rank: 5/ Chaos overlay units: 3.
Luna looked up at the Number C in the air and saw its chilling glare directed at her. "So, even this Number has a Chaos form, huh? Well, I don't find it surprising". The dark purple and pink haired girl remarked with her right hand on her hip and a small smirk on her face. "Keep smirking! I activate the second effect of Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force!" Enna called out with a frown as Ragnafinity pointed her scythe towards Dragulas.
"I'm afraid I'm gonna have to stop you there with the Quick-Play Spell card, Forbidden Lance!" Luna called out as she swiped her right hand in front of her, before one of her 2 remaining face-up cards flipped itself over. A silver coated aura appeared over Dragulas, right before Ragnafinity fired a pinkish beam towards the Wyrm-Type Monster. To Enna's surprise, the pinkish beam was deflected to the side. "For the price of 800 ATK Points until the End Phase, Forbidden Lance protects my monster from the effects of Spells and Traps". Luna explained her Spell card's effect with a small smile, while Dragulas slightly powered down.
Number 24: Dragulas the Vampiric Dragon ATK Points: 3600 – 800 = 2800.
Enna slightly narrowed her eyes as she deep a few deep breaths with her right hand on her chest. After she played Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force, she felt quiet drained of her energy, but that wasn't gonna stop her from Dueling. She took a card from the 4 cards in her hand and held it up with her right hand's index and middle fingers. "First, I activate the Distortion Crystal Spell card!" Enna called out as she slotted the card into her Duel Disk. The Spell card materialized besides Enna, facing Luna.
"With this Spell in play, whenever the ATK Points of a monster you control changes by a certain amount, that amount is doubled!" Enna explained her Spell card's effect as the Spell card disappeared, before she took another card into her right hand. "Then I activate the Spell card, Zero Blade!" The silver haired woman called out, showing the card to Luna, before slotting the card into her Duel Disk.
The Spell card materialized in front of Enna, before it began glowing icy blue. "This Spell grants my monster the power to attack twice, and one of your monsters loses 1000 ATK Points! And I choose Dragulas the Vampiric Dragon!" Enna explained her Spell card's effect as she pointed towards Dragulas. Zero Blade's card then fired a light blue beam at Dragulas, striking his chest and causing him to slightly be encased in ice. "Thanks to Distortion Crystal's effect, it'll be 2000 points instead of 1000". Luna commented with narrowed eyes, looking up at Dragulas as his power was drained.
Number 24: Dragulas the Vampiric Dragon ATK Points: 2800 – 2000 = 800.
"Now, I activate Ragnafinity's special ability!" Enna called out weakly as Ragnafinity absorbed a chaos overlay unit into her scythe. "If your monster's ATK Points had just changed, by using a Chaos Overlay Unit, Ragnafinity can deal you damage between its previous ATK and current ATK! Since your Dragulas lost 2000 points, you lose 2000 Life Points, meaning that this Duel is over!" The silver haired woman explained her Number C's special ability as Ragnafinity held her scythe out towards the wide-eyed Luna, before firing a pinkish beam towards her.
The pinkish beam drew closer to the wide-eyed Moon Duelist, before she grew a smirk on her face. "This Duel isn't over yet! I play the Trap card, Life Regeneration!" The Moon Duelist called out, holding her right hand out as her last face-down card flipped itself over. "All damage I take from a card effect instead increases my Life Points now!" Luna explained his Trap card's effect, before the card created a golden barrier around her. When the pinkish came into contact with the golden barrier, it turned into pinkish sparkles that rained down on her instead.
Luna Life Points: 1000 + 2000 = 3000.
Enna gritted her teeth upon seeing this, before she changed her expression into a natural one. "My turn isn't over yet! Ragnafinity, attack Dragulas!" Enna commanded her Xyz Monster, thrusting her right hand towards Dragulas. The Fairy-Type Xyz Monster gave out a battle cry as she charged towards Dragulas.
"Think again! I now activate Dragulas' special ability!" Luna called out with a grin, before Dragulas ate one of its overlay units. "Once per turn, I can use an Overlay Unit to change a monster Summoned from the Extra Deck to face-down Defense Position!" The Moon Duelist explained her Xyz Monster's special ability with a grin, making Enna widen her eyes in shock. Dragulas spread its wings out, before dark most slowly came out of them and engulf the approaching Ragnafinity. After a few moments, the dark most cleared to reveal a face-down monster in Ragnafinity's place. Her Chaos Overlay Units remained through.
'She could have used Dragulas' special ability when I attacked with Ragnazero, but she waited for a better opportunity in order to keep his effect a secret'. Enna thought to herself with wide eyes, before she looked down at her two cards in hand and saw nothing that could help her right now. She looked up at Luna with a defeated look on her face. "I end my turn". Enna declared her turn over, having nothing left to do.
Number 24: Dragulas the Vampiric Dragon ATK Points: 800 + 2800 = 3600.
Luna Life Points: 3000/ Number of cards in hand: 1.
"My turn now!" Luna called out as she drew her card in a dramatic fashion with her right hand, before holding it in front of her. The teenage girl grew a smirk on her face upon seeing what the card was, before she flipped the card over and held it out to Enna. "I activate the Spell card, Stop Defense!" The Moon Duelist called out, before she slotted the card into her Duel Disk. The Spell card appeared on the field, before Ragnafinity's face-down card flipped itself open and changed to horizontal position. The card then glowed, before the Fairy-Type Monster rose from the glow.
Chaos Number 103: Ragnafinity ATK Points: 2800/ Rank: 5/ Chaos overlay units: 2.
"Stop Defense changes a DEF Position monster you control into ATK Position, meaning I now got a clear shot at your Life Points". Luna explained her Spell card's effect to her opponent with a smirk, while Enna narrowed her eyes at her. Luna then swiped her right hand out to the side, the movement causing her hair to blow slightly. "Now Dragulas, attack Ragnafinity and end this Duel!" The Moon Duelist commanded her Xyz Monster. Dragulas let out a powerful roar, before firing a red blast attack from its mouth at Ragnafinity, striking her and causing an explosion.
"Like you said before, this Duel isn't over yet! I activate the Trap, Frozen Defense Draw!" Enna called out, thrusting her right hand out as her face-down card flipped itself over, before ice came of it and formed an ice wall in front of Enna, protecting her from the explosion. "This Trap reduces battle damage from a battle involving a monster, negates your monster's special abilities and I get to draw a card!" The silver haired woman explained her Trap card's effect as she drew a card from her Deck and added it to her hand.
Luna looked at her hand for a moment, before looking up at Dragulas as it gained a light blue aura around itself. "I'll end my turn here!" The Moon Duelist declared her turn over, turning to look back at her opponent.
Enna Life Points: 700/ Number of cards in hand: 3.
Enna was now panting; exhausted from the intense Duel she was having, but wasn't finished just yet. "My… turn…" Enna said weakly as she drew her card in a less dramatic fashion, before holding the card in front of her face. "I activate the Spell card… Pot of Avarice!" The silver haired woman exclaimed, holding the Spell card out, before a larger version of it materialized on the field.
"This Spell returns 5 monsters from my Graveyard to my deck, and then I can draw 2 cards". Enna explained her Spell card's effect as she held up her right hand, now holding 5 cards. The 5 cards were Blizzard Phoenix, Blizzard Oracle, Number 94: Crystalzero, Aurora Wing and Blizzard Lyrebird. "I return Blizzard Phoenix, Blizzard Oracle, Number 94: Crystalzero, Aurora Wing and Blizzard Lyrebird to my deck". Enna revealed her choices, before she added the cards to her deck, which began shuffling for a few moments.
Eventually, the deck stopped shuffling. "Now I draw 2 cards from my deck". The silver haired woman reminded her opponent as she drew twice, before holding the two cards in her hand. Enna looked at the two cards that she drew, before she grew a smile at seeing what they were.
(Play Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL - Sound Duel 2 - Disc 1 - 03. Challenger Appears)
She added the 2 new cards to her hand, before she took a single one of the five cards and held it up with her right hand. "I Summon Frozen Child Justice!" The silver haired woman called out as she placed the card on her Duel Disk's side. A bright blue portal appeared on the ground in front of Enna, before a blue and white orb shot out of it and into the air.
The blue and white orb flashed brightly, before the flash died down to reveal a young female child that looked incredibly like Frozen Lady Justice with just a few small differences. She didn't have the number '21' on her left leg, and her skirt was designed different from Frozen Lady Justice's one. Her skirt was a little bit bigger; covering her thins from view, but still kept the loincloth. The little girl gave out a wink, before she drew her mini version of Frozen Lady Justice's sword from her scabbard with her right hand.
Frozen Child Justice ATK Points: 500/ Level: 4.
Luna slightly widened her eyes upon seeing Frozen Child Justice, seeing the resemblance to Frozen Lady Justice that the female child had. Enna then swiped her right hand out in front of her towards Frozen Child Justice. "I activate Frozen Child Justice's special ability! During my Main Phase, Frozen Child Justice allows me to Special Summon 1 WATER monster from my hand to the field! And I'm sure you'll recognize this one!" Enna explained her monster's special ability, taking another card from her hand and placed it on the side of her Duel Disk.
Frozen Child Justice gave out a laugh as she pointed her sword into the air, before the blade glowed light blue and fired a beam towards the sky. The beam transformed into a light blue portal in the sky, before a familiar cry came out of it. Then, Blizzard Phoenix flew out of the portal and down next to Frozen Child Justice.
Blizzard Phoenix ATK Points: 1800/ Level: 4.
Luna slightly narrowed her eyes upon seeing Blizzard Phoenix, while Enna grew a small smile as she felt her energy return to her. "When Frozen Child Justice is used for the Xyz Summon of a WATER Xyz Monster, both she and another WATER monster are treated as Level 6 monsters". The silver haired woman informed her opponent, before she held up her right hand into the air.
"I Overlay both Frozen Child Justice and Blizzard Phoenix with them acting as Level 6 monsters!" Enna called out as both Frozen Child Justice and Blizzard Phoenix transformed into bright blue lights that transcended into the air. A galaxy-like portal appeared in front of Enna, blowing her hair widely in the breeze. "With these two monsters, I build the Overlay Network!" Enna exclaimed as the two bright blue lights flew into the galaxy portal, creating an explosion of energy.
"XYZ SUMMON! RISE FROM THE ICY DEPTHS! NUMBER 21: FROZEN LADY JUSTICE!" The silver haired woman called out, holding out Frozen Lady Justice's card up with her right hand's index and middle fingers. The number '21' flashed in a yellow color, before the sealed form of Frozen Lady Justice rose up from the galaxy portal.
It was a large glowing diamond with a red jewel at the center. The glowing diamond then began to transform into a stunningly beautiful woman that had short spiky white hair and skin that was pale as ice itself. She had a three spiked, crystal themed headpiece attached to the right side of her hair and a purple blue crystal on her forehead. Blue and white armor covered her torso with a short white swing cape with pleated white trim and blue middle border. She wore white long sleeved gloves that reached her biceps and ended with a pointed edge, opening up like a flower over her biceps with gold thick bracelets on her wrist. She wore soft white fitted; over the knee boots with a purple v-trim at the top and blue accents on the heels and the top, along with a yellow glowing 21 on her left leg. She wore a skirt that was a part of her armor that showed her thins and had a long loin cloth attached to it. On her left hip was a long white, blue and gold scabbard and inside was a long ice themed broadsword. Two blue overlay units circled around the beautiful woman as she opened her blue eyes, before she gave out a cry as she held her fists up.
Number 21: Frozen Lady Justice ATK Points: 500/ Rank: 6/ Overlay units: 2.
(Music end)
Luna lifted her head and looked up at the Xyz Monster floating in front of her opponent with slightly wide eyes, easily recognizing her. 'It's that Number from before. The one that stopped Moon Dragon Selene in her tracks'. The Moon Duelist said in her mind, having been wondering about Frozen Lady Justice when she first saw her. Luna then took notice of the icy glare directed at her from Frozen Lady Justice and unlike with Ragnazero, this time she did flinch.
Enna swiped her right hand out in front of her. "For every Overlay Unit that she has, Frozen Lady Justice gains 1000 ATK Points! Since she has 2, that's 2000 ATK Points!" Enna explained her ace monster's special ability to her opponent. Frozen Lady Justice took ahold of her scabbard with her left hand, before she took her sword's handle into her right hand and drew her blade.
Number 21: Frozen Lady Justice ATK Points: 500 + 2000 = 2500.
"I now activate Blizzard Phoinex's special ability!" The silver haired woman called out as an icy blue aura appeared over Frozen Lady Justice. "When she's used as Xyz Material for a WATER Xyz Monster, it gains 1000 ATK Points!" Enna once again explained her monster's special ability, before Frozen Lady Justice gave out a cry as she powered up.
Number 21: Frozen Lady Justice ATK Points: 2500 + 3500.
Luna grew an impressed look on her face, honestly growing to like Frozen Lady Justice. "Your Xyz Monster has an incredible power, but it isn't powerful enough to destroy my Dragulas". The Moon Duelist told her opponent with a smirk on her face, reminding Enna of the ATK Point difference. Enna grew a smirk on her face as she took one of the 3 cards in her hand. "That'll change in a moment. I activate Blizzard Swan's special ability from the Graveyard!" The silver haired woman called out as a black portal appeared in front of her and underneath Frozen Lady Justice.
"By removing my Blizzard Swan from my Graveyard, I can activate a Trap card from my hand, or Graveyard". Enna explained her monster's special ability as Blizzard Swan's card floated out of the portal and above it, before the card dispersed into sparkles. Enna then flipped the card that she was holding over, revealing it to be a Trap card. The image showed Frozen Lady Justice standing in a snowfield, holding her right hand to the side with her sword in her hand and her left hand up into the air. From the snowing sky, flying down towards Frozen Lady Justice were two blue overlay units. "I chose to activate the Trap, Frozen Regeneration!" Enna called out, swiping her card into her Duel Disk.
(Frozen Regeneration/ Type: Continuous Trap/ Effect: Once per turn, if you control a 'Number 21: Frozen Lady Justice' monster, or an Xyz monster that lists 'Number 21: Frozen Lady Justice' in its text, you can select one WATER Monster in your hand, and attach it as an Xyz Material. If a 'Number 21: Frozen Lady Justice' monster, or a monster that lists 'Number 21: Frozen Lady Justice' in its text would be destroyed by a card effect, you can destroy this card instead)
The Continuous Trap then materialized in front of Enna above the dark portal. "Now, I activate Frozen Regeneration's effect! Once a turn, I can select one WATER monster in my hand and attach it to a "Frozen Lady Justice", or a monster that has her name in its text as an Xyz Material!" Enna explained her Trap card's effect to her opponent, making Luna widen her eyes in surprise, before she narrowed them.
'With that kind of effect, along with her own, Frozen Lady Justice can grow incredibly strong'. The Moon Duelist said inside of her mind, realizing what a dangerous combination that this was. Enna then picked another card from her hand and held it up with her right hand's index, middle and thumb fingers.
The image showed a beautiful female human with pale skin, royal blue long hair and eyes. She wore a royal blue dress with white armor on her torso, blue gems on it and was bare handed. Finally, on her back were two pure white angel wings, generating energy snowflakes from them. "I choose to equip her with Knione, Goddess of Snow!" The silver haired woman revealed her choice, before she swiped the card onto her Duel Disk's side.
(Knione, Goddess of Snow/ Level: 6/ Attribute: Water/ Type: Fairy/ Effect/ ATK Points: 2400/ DEF Points: 1800/ Effect: While this card is face-up on the field, when you draw a WATER attribute monster(s), you can reveal 1 of those monsters to draw 1 more card.)
The monster card materialized on the field, before it unleashed a snowstorm. Knione, Goddess of Snow slowly floated out of the card with a gentle smile on her face. The Fairy-Type Monster then transformed into a light blue overlay unit that shot out towards Frozen Lady Justice, before beginning to circle around her.
Number 21: Frozen Lady of Justice ATK Points: 3500 + 1000 = 4500/ Overlay units: 2 + 1 = 3.
"4500 ATK Points, huh…" Luna commented with narrowed eyes, not sounding the least bit worried. Enna then swiped her right hand forward towards Dragulas. "Go Frozen Lady Justice! Attack Number 24: Dragulas the Vampiric Dragon!" Enna commanded her ace monster, causing Frozen Lady Justice to grow a grin on her face, before she flew into the air.
Lady Justice then took ahold of her broadsword with both her hands and lifted it above her hand, before she began flying down towards Dragulas. She sliced down the front of Dragulas' body with her sword, landing on her feet in front of the Wyrm-Type monster. Dragulas cried out in pain as Frozen Lady Justice leaped back, before the Wyrm-Type monster exploded. (4500 – 3600 = 900)
Luna Life Points: 3000 – 900 = 2100.
The explosion blew Luna's hair and skirt in the breeze and almost made her flinch, but she held strong. Frozen Lady Justice flew back to Enna's side and floated in front of her. The silver haired woman then held up her last card with her right hand. "I'll end my turn with one face-down card!" The silver haired woman declared her turn over, before swiping her card into her Duel Disk with a face-down card materializing on her field.
Luna Life Points: 2100/ Number of cards in hand: 1.
"My turn now!" Luna called out, drawing her card in a dramatic fashion with her right hand. She brought the card to her face, only to slightly widen her eyes upon seeing what it was. "I'll play one card face-down…" The Moon Duelist began, slotting the card into her Duel Disk as a face-down card materialized on the field. "Then I'll use my Shining Moon's effect to bring back Moon Fairy Alisa!" Luna continued, holding up her right hand into the air as it created a pillar of light. Moon Fairy Alisa flew down from the moon in the pillar of light, before she took a defense stance in front of Luna.
Moon Fairy Alisa DEF Points: 1300 + 300 = 1600/ ATK Points: 2300 + 300 = 2600/ Rank: 4/ Overlay units: 0.
"You're up! Bring it!" Luna declared her turn over, holding up her right hand and gave Enna the hand sign 'bring it on' to her.
Enna Life Points: 700/ Number of cards in hand: 0.
"Here goes!" Enna called out, drawing her card in a dramatic fashion with her right hand and leaving a white veil as she moved her hand. Enna took a moment to look at the card, before she added it to her left hand and held the card. She then thrust her right hand into the air. "I activate Frozen Lady Justice's special ability!" The silver haired woman called out as Frozen Lady Justice held up her broadsword with her right hand, while her left hand was in a fist and hanging at her side, before she grew a white aura around herself.
"By using an Overlay Unit, Frozen Lady Justice destroys all DEF Position monsters you control!" Enna explained her Xyz Monster's special ability with narrowed eyes, making Luna widen her eyes in surprise. 'That's a powerful effect, but at least she'll lose an Overlay Unit and 1000 ATK Points'. The Moon Duelist said in her mind with a small grin, until she noticed Enna's small smirk. "When Frozen Child Justice was used as Xyz Material for Frozen Lady Justice, it gives her the power to use her special ability without using Overlay Units". Enna informed her opponent, getting Luna to widen her eyes in surprise.
Frozen Lady Justice then held out her right hand, pointing her blade towards Alisa. The white aura transferred over to the tip of her blade, before she fired a snowstorm at Alisa. The snowstorm struck and immediately encased Alisa in ice, before she shattered into pieces. Luna had wide eyes at seeing the Xyz Monster destroyed, before she turned her attention to Enna and saw the silver-haired woman pointing towards her. "Now Frozen Lady Justice, attack her directly!" The silver haired woman commanded her ace monster.
Frozen Lady Justice narrowed her eyes, before she began charging towards Luna, who grew a small grin on her face. "You've forgotten above my little friend, Moon Kuriboh!" Luna called out, holding her Duel Disk up as it unleashed a bright white light. "If I'm attacked directly, I can Special Summon this card from my Graveyard or hand!" The dark purple and pink haired girl explained her monster's special ability as the glowing ceased, and a single card slotted out of the Graveyard Zone.
Luna picked the card up with her right hand, and then placed it on a Monster Zone of her Duel Disk. Moon Kuriboh's card then materialized on the field in a sideways position, before it began gleaming. Moon Kuriboh floated out of the glow in front of its mistress, having a determine look.
Moon Kuriboh DEF Points: 200 + 300 = 500/ ATK Points: 300 + 300 = 600/ Level: 1.
"When Moon Kuriboh is Summoned by its effect, I can select an opponent's monster and gain Life Points equal to its ATK Points!" Luna continued to explain her monster's special ability, making Enna narrow her eyes at the teenage girl. "Kuri!" Moon Kuriboh called out as the little monster held out its claws and unleashed a silvery white glow at the charging Frozen Lady Justice. Moon Kuriboh then turned around and unleashed the same glow on Luna, increasing her Life Points.
Luna Life Points: 2100 + 4500 = 6600.
Frozen Lady Justice then sliced Moon Kuriboh in half with her broadsword, causing the little Fiend-Type to explode. Luna grew a sad look upon seeing her monster's destruction, while Frozen Lady Justice returned to Enna's side. 'Thank you, Kuriboh'. The Moon Duelist said in her mind, thanking her monster for saving her. "I'll end my turn here!" Enna declared her turn over, having no other move to make.
Luna Life Points: 6600/ Number of cards in hand: 1.
Luna looked down at her deck as she placed her right hand on the top card. "Here goes!" Luna called out as she drew her card in a dramatic fashion with her right hand. She flipped the card over to see what it was through the corner of his right eye, before she grew a smile at seeing that it was what she needed to turn the Duel around.
(Play Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL - Sound Duel 1 - 35. Turn of the Counterattack)
"I Summon Moon Priestess in ATK Mode!" Luna called out, placing the card on one of her Duel Disk's Monster Zones. Moon Priestess's card materialized on the field, before it transformed into the priestess herself, who had a smile on her face.
Moon Priestess ATK Points: 1500 + 300 = 1800/ DEF Points: 1000 + 300 = 1300/ Level: 4.
"I now use Shining Moon's effect in order to revive Moon Level Butterfly!" The Moon Duelist called out as the moon shined down in front of Luna, before Moon Level Butterfly floated down from the moon and landed in front of her Duelist with a smile.
Moon Level Butterfly ATK Points: 0 + 300 = 300/ DEF Points: 0 + 300 = 300/ Level: 1.
"I activate Level Butterfly's special ability! I declare a Level and all Moon Monsters' Levels becomes the one I choose! I chose Level 8!" Luna exclaimed as Moon Level Butterfly flew above Moon Priestess, before she started flapping her wings, causing white sparkles to rain down on the Spellcaster-Type monster.
Moon Level Butterfly Level: 1 + 7 = 8.
Moon Priestess Level: 4 + 4 = 8.
Enna narrowed her eyes as she instantly knew what Luna intended to do. 'Here it comes… that dragon of hers'. The silver haired woman said in her mind, having seen the Xyz dragon in action herself when she watched Luna and Shark's Duel. Luna grew a happy smile on her face, before she held up her left hand and looked at her Duel Disk.
Her Duel Disk's Extra Deck Zone began letting out a white light, making Luna grow her smile even more as she knew what the cause of that was. She looked back at Enna and Frozen Lady Justice, before she held up her right hand into the air. "I Overlay the Level 8 Moon Priestess and Level 8 Moon Level Butterfly!" The dark purple and pink haired girl called out as her two monsters turned into two bright yellow lights that descended into the sky. "With these two monsters, I build the Overlay Network! Xyz Summon!" Luna cried out as a galaxy-like portal appeared in the sky above the field, before the two lights flew inside of it, causing an explosion of energy.
Luna closed her eyes for 5 seconds, before she opened them to reveal her eyes were now glowing silvery white. "Appear, my very soul…!" Luna cried out as she continued to hold her right hand up towards the portal, while a silvery white aura covered her whole body. "Dragon of the Moon Goddess, descend before us and show us your eternal beauty!" The 14-year-old female chanted as a pure white beam shot out of the portal, slamming unto the ground behind Luna, creating a powerful gale that blew the girl's hair and skirt in the breeze.
Luna then brought her right hand down and held it in front of her. "Appear! Moon Dragon Selene!" The Duelist of the Moon called her monster's name as the beam disappeared to reveal Moon Dragon Selene with two yellow overlay units circling around the Dragon-Type monster. Moon Dragon Selene gave an earth-shaking roar, causing both Enna and Luna's hairs to blow in the breeze and Frozen Lady Justice's cape as well.
Moon Dragon Selene ATK Points: 3000 + 300 = 3300/ DEF Points: 2500 + 300 = 2800/ Rank: 8/ Overlay units: 2.
Enna looked up at the Xyz dragon before her with wide eyes and a hint of fear in them. Even Frozen Lady Justice narrowed her eyes at the sight of Moon Dragon Selene, before she took ahold of her broadsword with both her hands and prepared herself. Luna looked up at her ace monster with a smile on her face, who looked down at her Duelist and returned the smile. The two then nodded to each other, before they faced forward to look at Enna and Frozen Lady Justice.
"Here I come!" The dark purple and pink haired girl called out, before thrusting her right hand out towards her opponent. "Moon Dragon Selene, attack Number 21: Frozen Lady Justice!" Luna commanded her ace monster. Moon Dragon Selene gave out a powerful roar as she took flight into the sky. Enna and Frozen Lady Justice watched the Dragon-Type monster fly higher into the sky, before stopping in mid-air and looked down at her opponents. "When Moon Dragon Selene battles a monster, that monster's effects are negated". Luna informed her opponent with a smirk, making Enna narrow her eyes. Moon Dragon Selene spread her wings out, before releasing a silvery white light on Frozen Lady Justice, making the Xyz Monster grit its teeth as she tried to block out the light with her broadsword.
Number 21: Frozen Lady Justice ATK Points: 4500 – 3000 = 1500.
"With this attack, my victory is assured! Now Selene, finish this Duel!" Luna commanded her ace monster with a smirk on her face, before it fell upon seeing Enna's natural expression. "This Duel isn't finished just yet!" The silver haired woman retaliated, before she looked at the single card in her hand. She took hold of the card with her right hand, before she held it out.
"I activate the special ability of Blizzard Crow from my hand!" Enna called out, revealing the card to be a Monster card. The image showed a large blue feathered crow, big enough for Rio to ride on, and had electrical blue eyes and talons.
(Blizzard Crow/ Level: 4/ Attribute: Water/ Type: Winged Beast/ Effect/ ATK Points: 1700/ DEF Points: 800/ Effect: When a Water Attribute monster you control is targeted for an attack by an opponent's monster: You can send this card from your hand to the Graveyard; negate the attack, and if you do, inflict damage to your opponent equal to half the attacking monster's ATK.)
The card materialized on the field, before it began glowing. Blizzard Crow emerged from the glow and flew up into the air. "When a WATER Attribute monster I control is targeted for an attack, I can send this card from my hand to the Graveyard! And in exchange, your attack is negated, and you take damage to half of your monster's ATK Points! Your dragon has 3300 ATK Points, so that's 1650 points you're losing!" The silver haired woman explained her card's effect, making Luna gasp. Blizzard Crow gave out a cry, before it flew towards Moon Dragon Selene and struck her underneath her chin, causing the Dragon-Type monster to fall and crash land on the ground, kicking up dust and debris. Luna was forced to shut her eyes to keep the dust from getting into them, while her hair and skirt were blown from the shockwaves.
Luna Life Points: 6600 – 1650 = 4950.
Blizzard Crow dispersed into particles, while Moon Dragon Selene climbed to her feet, rubbing her chin with her left claw. 'That one hurt'. The female dragon groaned out in pain, getting Enna to slightly widen her eyes in surprise. Luna finally opened her eyes and looked up at her ace monster. "We'll get em back for that one, I promise". The Moon Duelist promised her ace monster, getting Enna to return her attention to her opponent.
"So, you're able to hear your dragon's voice". The silver haired woman stated, getting Luna to look back at her opponent and narrow her eyes. "She's not just a dragon, she's my partner". The Moon Duelist told her opponent with a deadly serious voice, showing Enna how touchy she was about the subject. Enna soften her gaze upon hearing her opponent's words, before she looked up at Frozen Lady Justice, who was facing Moon Dragon Selene with narrowed eyes and gripping the broadsword with both hands.
'Her bond with her monster reminds me of Rio's bond with Frozen Lady Justice'. Enna said in her mind with a soft smile, thinking of all the times that her partner had counted on Frozen Lady Justice. "I'll end my turn here! Your move!" Luna declared her turn over, regaining Enna's attention as she looked up at her opponent.
(Music end/ Play Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL - Sound Duel 2 - Disc 2 - 25. Overwhelming Power)
Enna Life Points: 700/ Number of cards in hand: 0.
"I draw!" Enna called out, drawing her card in a dramatic fashion with her right hand and leaving a white veil as she moved her hand. She held the card up to her face to see what it was, before she frowned at seeing it was Blizzard Jet, a card that she couldn't use right now. 'I'm left with one choice left. My last resort'. The silver haired girl said in her mind as she transferred the card to her left hand, before thrusting her right hand out into the air.
"I rebuild the Overlay Network with Frozen Lady Justice!" Enna declared, getting Frozen Lady Justice to smirk as she held her sword up in front of her with both her hands. "Through the power of our bonds of friendship and feeling the flow, a new hope shall appear! Go Shining Xyz Evolution!" Enna called out as a bright light erupted from Frozen Lady Justice's sword, covering her from view. "Appear Number S21: Frozen Lady Absolute Justice!" Enna shouted out as the light disappeared to reveal Frozen Lady Justice's new form.
Frozen Lady Justice was now wearing a glowing white priestess's outfit with crystal wings extending from her back. She was 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 frosty blue with her right hand. Finally, she now had icy crystal earrings on her ears and five overlay units circling around her.
Frozen Lady Absolute Justice opened her still blue eyes, before she let out a cry and swung her longsword to the side, unleashing a blizzard storm.
Number S21: Frozen Lady Absolute Justice ATK Points: 500/ Rank: 6/ Overlay units: 5.
Luna widened her eyes in pure disbelief upon seeing Frozen Lady Absolute Justice. "…Impossible. A Number S Xyz Monster? I thought there were only Number C monsters, but this is something else entirely…" The dark purple and pinked haired girl whispered in disbelief, before she narrowed her eyes at Frozen Lady Absolute Justice. "Impressive as it is, it's no match for my Moon Dragon Selene!" The Moon Duelist stated, holding up her right fist in front of her.
"We'll see about that! I activate Frozen Lady Absolute Justice's special ability!" Enna exclaimed, swiping her right hand into the air. Frozen Lady Absolute Justice held up her longsword with both hands as all five of her Overlay Units were absorbed into the blade. "By using all her Overlay Units, all your cards are destroyed, and she gains ATK Points equal to the destroyed monsters' ATK!" The silver haired woman explained her ace monster's special ability, much to Luna's disbelief. Frozen Lady Absolute Justice pointed her blade towards Moon Dragon Selene, before a powerful blizzard storm appeared from behind her and headed towards the Xyz Monster and the shining moon above.
Luna gritted her teeth, before swiping her right hand forward. "I reveal the Trap card, Moon Barrier!" The Moon Duelist called out as her single face down card revealed itself. It was a Trap card with the image showing a pure white barrier protecting Moon Dragon Selene, Moon Fairy Alisa and Moon Magician from a black blast.
(Moon Barrier/ Type: Trap/ Effect: For the rest of the turn that this card is activated, all Moon monsters you control cannot be destroyed by battle or by card effects.)
"This Trap protects my Moon monsters from being destroyed by battle and card effects!" Luna explained her Trap card's effect to her opponent, keeping her right hand in front of her. The card glowed white, before a beam shot out of it towards Moon Dragon Selene's back, before transforming into a barrier around her. The powerful storm struck the barrier, but it held strong. The shining moon up above was struck by the blizzard storm and was instantly frozen, before shattering into pieces. Enna had wide eyes of surprise as the blizzard storm died down, soon followed by the barrier and revealed a completely unharmed Moon Dragon Selene.
Moon Dragon Selene ATK Points: 3300 – 300 = 3000.
The Xyz dragon unleashed a roar at Frozen Lady Absolute Justice, who narrowed her eyes at her opponent. Enna then looked back at her opponent and saw Luna's smug face directed at her. 'It's like she's indestructible. No matter what kind of move I make, she's prepared for everything'. The silver haired woman said in her mind, before looking at her hand and saw that her Blizzard Jet couldn't help her. "I end my turn!" Enna declared her turn over, having nothing left to do.
(Music end)
Luna Life Points: 4950/ Number of cards in hand: 1.
"You're in trouble now! My turn now!" Luna exclaimed as her Duel-Eye Tattoo flashed luminous silver for a moment, before returning to normal. "I draw!" The Moon Duelist called out, drawing her card in a dramatic fashion with her right hand's index, middle and thumb fingers, leaving a white veil as she moved her hand.
Luna brought the card to her face to see what it was, before she slightly narrowed her eyes upon seeing it was the Jar of Greed Trap card. "…I'll play one card face-down…" Luna said, before slotting the card into her Duel Disk with a face-down card materializing in front of her. The Moon Duelist then lifted her head and gave Enna a confident smirk on her face.
(Play Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL - Sound Duel 2 - Disc 1 - 26. Kaito Strikes)
"Since you gave me the privilege of seeing your Shining Evolution, so in return, I'll show you my strongest monster". The Moon Duelist said to her opponent, making Enna widen her eyes as she had a good idea what Luna meant. Luna then took ahold of her last card in her hand with her right hand's index and middle fingers and held it up, before she flipped it over to reveal it to be the Rank-Up-Magic Moon's Force card.
"I activate the Spell card, Rank-Up-Magic Moon's Force!" Luna called out with a confident voice as she swiped the card into her Duel Disk. The card materialized on the field, before it began flashing luminous white. "This card ranks up my Moon Dragon Selene into an Xyz monster that's one Rank higher!" Luna explained as the card unleashed a silvery white beam towards Moon Dragon Selene and struck her back, causing a white glow to surround the Dragon-Type monster.
"With Rank 8 Moon Dragon Selene, I rebuild the Overlay Network!" Luna called out as she sent her Spell card to the Graveyard Zone of her Duel Disk, right as Moon Dragon Selene transformed into a silvery white light that ascended into the air. A black portal appeared in the sky, before the light went inside of it. "Rank Up Xyz Evolution!" Luna cried out to the heavens as a silvery white twister shot out of the portal and slammed into the ground.
The twister was so powerful that Enna and Frozen Lady Absolute Justice had trouble keeping their ground and not get blown away. The wind blew Luna's hair and skirt, with the Moon Duelist having a natural expression on her face. "Dragon Goddess whose true power that was sealed away, break free of your shackles and let this world see your true beauty!" Luna chanted as she closed her eyes and held her hands out to the side, before opening her eyes and swiped her right hand in front of her. "Appear Moon Goddess Dragon Selene!" Luna cried out to the heavens as the twister disappeared to reveal Moon Dragon Selene's evolved form, Moon Goddess Dragon Selene with three yellow overlay units circling around her. Moon Goddess Dragon Selene lifted her head to look at Frozen Lady Absolute Justice, before unleashing an earth-shaking roar that pushed back the Aqua-Type Monster and Enna.
Moon Goddess Dragon Selene ATK Points: 4500/ Rank: 9/ Overlay Units: 3.
Moon Goddess Dragon Selene's roar died down, allowing Frozen Lady Absolute Justice and Enna to relax, but not completely. Enna started taking heavy deep breaths with her right hand on her chest, feeling herself almost completely exhausted. The effects of playing Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force had drained her energy greatly, and she wasn't sure how much longer she could last. Luna took notice of Enna's exhaustion, making her lift an eyebrow at her opponent. "What's wrong? Getting tired? Don't worry; you'll be able to rest in just a moment". The Moon Duelist told her opponent with a grin, before lifting her right hand into the air.
"I activate Moon Goddess Dragon Selene's special ability! When this card is Xyz Summoned with 'Moon Dragon Selene' as an Overlay Unit, all your cards' effects are negated!" The 14-year-old female explained her Xyz Monster's special ability, causing Enna to narrow her eyes at her opponent. "Moon Howling!" Luna cried out as her dragon unleashed powerful streams of energy from her wings on Frozen Lady Absolute Justice. The Aqua-Type monster groaned as she shut both eyes and fell to the ground with her wings lying flat against her back, holding the longsword with both hands to keep herself from falling to the ground completely.
"Now…" Luna began with an icy tone as she held up her right hand, before she turned it into a fist with the nails almost close to piercing her own skin. "I'm gonna reduce you to mere dust! I activate Moon Goddess Dragon Selene's special ability!" The Moon Duelist roared out as she thrust the fist into the air. Moon Goddess Dragon Selene ate one of her overlay units, before spreading both wings and took flight into the air.
Once she was high enough, Moon Goddess Dragon Selene stopped in mid-air, before looking down at Frozen Lady Absolute Justice. Her ten wings gleamed with blue energy, before firing blue coloured beams that struck Frozen Lady Absolute Justice. The Aqua-Type monster cried out as she gained a white aura around herself, before it began transferring over to Moon Goddess Dragon Selene. "What's going on!?" Enna called out in surprise, clearly wanting an explanation on what's happening.
"My dragon's special ability is what's going on! By using an Overlay Unit, she reduces the ATK Points of all your monsters to 0, and she gains 1000 ATK Points each!" Luna explained Moon Goddess Dragon Selene's special ability, making Enna widen her eyes in horror as the last bit of Frozen Lady Absolute Justice's aura was absorbed into Moon Goddess Dragon, before the Dragon-Type monster unleashed a powerful roar.
Number S21: Frozen Lady Absolute Justice ATK Points: 500 – 500 = 0.
Moon Goddess Dragon Selene ATK Points: 4500 + 1000 = 5500.
"I am going to enjoy seeing you reduced to dust! Moon Goddess Dragon, attack Frozen Lady Absolute Justice and reduce her Life Points to 0!" Luna commanded as she swiped her right arm out to the side. Moon Goddess Dragon began gathering silvery white energy in her mouth and wings. After a moment or two, Moon Goddess Dragon Selene unleashed a silvery white stream attack from both the mouth and wings, which combined into one and drew closer to striking Frozen Lady Absolute Justice, who looked up at the approaching attack with narrowed eyes and gritted teeth.
"This… isn't over… yet! I… activate the Trap card… Negate Attack!" Enna weakly called out, swiping her right hand forward as her face down card flipped itself over, before generating a force field around her and Frozen Lady Absolute Justice. "This Trap not only negates your attack, but it also ends the Battle Phase!" The silver haired woman explained her Trap card's effect as Moon Goddess Dragon Selene's attack slammed into the force field. However, to Enna's surprise, the attack was still so powerful that it blew her off her feet and into the air. She then crashed landed on the ground on her back, groaning.
(Music end)
Enna groaned a bit as the force field disappeared, before she opened her eyes and slightly lifted her head to look at Luna. "No matter… what you throw at me… you will not win this Duel, Number Hunter. Keep throwing your attacks… at me, they will not work…" Enna gasped out, before she began taking in more deep breaths. Luna narrowed her eyes at her fallen opponent. "You may still be in this Duel, but it's pretty much decided! You can't even stand up on your own two feet, much less Duel! Even your monster looks ready to give up!" The Moon Duelist exclaimed, taking a moment to look at the exhausted Frozen Lady Absolute Justice. "Soon, your Numbers will be mine! Take your last turn!" Luna told her opponent, swiping her right hand forward and pointed towards Enna with her index finger.
Enna attempted to get up on her feet, but only fell back down to her back, taking heavy deep breaths as she was nearing her breaking point. She opened her eyes with a dangerous frown on her face as she looked up at the sky. "Rio…" The silver haired woman said in a weak voice.
(Meanwhile back on Earth)
Back outside of the Empress's Key, Rio had just made it to the lab. The door opened, allowing her to walk in, before she gasped upon seeing her key floating inside of the crystal. "My key…!" The Ice Queen gasped out as she began walking to the computer. "Enna! Luna!" Rio called out with a slightly desperate voice, hoping that she wasn't too late.
(Back in the Empress's Key)
Enna managed to force herself back up, still taking deep breaths, before she looked down at her right hand and saw her body flickering slightly. 'My life force… it's disappearing'. The silver haired woman said in her mind, before she looked back at her opponent and saw Luna having an emotionless expression, as if she wasn't concerned at all.
'I won't last much longer… If this is the result of having low Life Points, I don't want to know what happens if they reach 0. There isn't a single card that can help now'. Enna thought to herself, before she began remembering her days on Earth with Rio, Yuma, Astral, Shark and Kairi. All the things she's learned with them and the times she's spent with the girl that reminded her of her first human friend greatly.
'I'm sorry Rio, Yuma, Astral, Epifanio… It looks like I won't be able to lay my eyes on you all again. I'm… happy that I got to meet you Rio, Yuma. And that I got to see you one last time Astral. Please look after our son for me'. Enna said in her mind in sadness as she shed a single tear from her left eye. Suddenly, Enna widened her eyes upon feeling something different within her. Her eyes watched her tear fall in slow motion, as if time was going incredibly slow. 'What's… happening to me?' Enna questioned in her mind, having no idea what this strange feeling was.
(Back on Earth)
The Empress's Key began glowing silver, before unleashing a bright light that covered it from view. Rio gasped in surprise as she stopped 10 feet away from the crystal. "My key! What's happening!?" The Ice Queen questioned in surprise, before holding up her right fist with a determined look. "Enna, it's me! I'm here now to help! Enna!" Rio called out to her partner, hoping that she could hear her voice inside.
The Empress's Key continued to release its bright light, until the crystal couldn't take it anymore and shattered into pieces. With the crystal destroyed, the bright light grew stronger than before, even forcing Rio to cover her eyes with her right forearm. The Ice Queen began to open her right eye as the bright light began to die down, only to blink in surprise upon seeing her key floating in front of her, and yet it was still glowing silver.
She grabbed the Empress's Key with her right hand and looked down at it. "Enna? Are you in there?" Rio said in concern for her partner, only to cry out in surprise upon her key unleashing a bright light that forced her to shut her eyes. When the light died down, Rio slowly opened her eyes, only to widen them in surprise to see herself back in front of the Door of Destiny. "What am I doing back here?" The Ice Queen questioned in surprise, wondering how she was teleported back to wherever this was.
"It has come. The time for you to decide…" The Gate of Destiny said as its eyes glowed yellow, before the chains keeping the gate shut, snapped. "Enter the door and gain the new power that is your destiny". The demonic gate told Rio as he slowly began to open, before a powerful gust of wind came out of it, forcing Rio to use her forearms to cover her eyes. "But remember that power will only be granted if you sacrifice that which you hold must dear. Are you ready for the challenge?" The gate warned the Ice Queen as it fully opened to reveal a black clouded sky with red lightning dancing across them.
Rio began taking a few steps forward, lowering both arms and face forward as her focus was on seeing her partner again. "ENNA!" Rio shouted out as loud as she could in hopes that Enna would hear her voice.
(Back in the Empress's Key)
Enna's eyes widened in disbelief upon hearing Rio's voice call out her name. 'Rio! Rio, is that you?' Enna questioned within her mind, hoping that she really heard her dear partner's voice.
From her side, Rio grew a smile upon hearing Enna's voice. 'It's me, I'm here now! Are you Dueling Luna?' The Ice Queen answered her partner, taking some comfort to know that she wasn't too late to save the female Astral World being. Back on her side, Enna closed her eyes with a defeated look. 'I am, and I'm losing. I've used everything, even Shining Evolution to try to win, but nothing has worked. She's just too powerful…' The silver haired woman told her partner with a defeated voice, as if she's accepted defeat.
Rio narrowed her eyes, which were full of conviction, as she stepped forward and pushed through the powerful gusts of winds. "Alright, that settles it! I'm coming in to help you!" The Ice Queen told exclaimed with a confident voice, ready to join the Duel herself. Enna opened her eyes and narrowed them. 'Stay right there, Rio'. Enna told the teenage girl, making Rio widen her eyes in surprise at her partner's words.
'The world inside of the Empress's Key is different than yours. I'm not sure that it is safe for you here in this world. Besides, this is my fight, and mine alone to face. I won't ever put your life at risk'. The silver haired woman told the Ice Queen, refusing to let her be in danger. Rio's teeth gritted in anger at her partner's words. "Enna, you idiot! Do you really think I'd be happy without you by my side!? You and I are partners and friends, and our bond isn't something that anyone can sever!" The Ice Queen shouted out at her partner as she swiped the right hand out to the side, before placing it on her chest.
Enna grew silent as she looked down at the ground. Rio took 2 steps forward, before raising her right fist up with a determined expressing on her face. "It's Zexal!" Rio exclaimed, making Enna widen her eyes in complete shock at what the teenage girl said.
(Play Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL - Sound Duel 2 - Disc 1 - 29. Freed Heart)
"The voice said that we could use the power of Zexal, just like how Yuma and Astral did it in our Duel against Kite! I just need to acquire it!" The Ice Queen explained, taking another step forward towards the edge of the cliff. 'Rio… do you even know what Zexal is?' Enna questioned her partner with narrowed eyes, getting the teenage girl to frown in confusion. "Not exactly. What even is Zexal?" Rio questioned her partner, wanting to know what Zexal really is.
'Like Astral said, it's a miraculous power that saved our world'. Enna answered her partner's question with narrowed eyes, reminding Rio of what Astral told them, Yuma and Shark. "But remember that power will only be granted if you sacrifice that which you hold must dear". The voice of the Gate of Destiny reminded Rio of the risks of taking the power, but the teenage girl paid no heed to the gate's voice. "I'll get the power of Zexal, no matter what! I'll save you Enna, no matter what; I'll pay any price to do it! Time to hi-five the sky!" Rio called out as she began running, going past the Door of Destiny, before she jumped off the edge and began falling down, but she showed no fear.
Back with Enna, she widened her eyes in surprise upon feeling a familiar presence. She looked up towards the sky, right where she could sense her friend. Even Frozen Lady Absolute Justice lifted her head to look up at the sky. "Rio..." Enna said as she held her right hand towards the sky, making Luna frown in confusion at what she said. "ENNA!" A familiar voice shouted out from the sky, making Luna widen her eyes in surprise, and then looked up above.
"RIO!" Enna shouted back, before she transformed into a bright blue light that shot up into the sky. From Rio's side, she transformed into a bright red light as she crossed over and entered the world inside the Empress's Key. The blue light flew up to the sky towards the red light, while the red one flew down towards the blue one. Rio reappeared within the bright red light and held her right hand out forward, while Enna reappeared within the bright blue one and held hers out.
"Rio and I...build the Overlay Network! It's the moment for two separate souls to crossover! Now the legendary power will come forth! Come, Rio!" Enna called out as the two partners closed in on each other and their right hands clapped together, causing a bright white light to erupt and cover them from view. The white light disappeared for a moment, before reappearing, only stronger than before. Luna witnessed this with wide eyes, keeping silent as she watched.
From the bright white light came a silvery white one that flew down and struck the ground, causing a bright silver flash of energy. "What's…going on?" Luna questioned with wide eyes as the bright silver flash of light shrunk, before forming a dome. Inside the silver dome, Rio and Enna's combined form began materializing slowly, from the feet to the face. Finally, the Zexal form of the two partners was revealed.
It was Rio, but she had undergone a massive transformation. Her hair was longer now, just as long as Enna's hair and was pure silver like hers with blue highlights. She also had two round light blue hair pins on the front bangs of her hair. She also wore three light blue gems on her neck with a blue choker, just like Enna's. Her left eye was now yellow with black eyelid around both eyes now.
She now wore a pure white and blue strapless dress like Enna's, but it now had a slit that ran down from her left thigh, leaving her legs exposed. However, she wore beautiful white high heeled boots that reached her knees with purple gems at the center. On her hands were pure white elbow length, fingerless gloves with purple gems at the elbows. Over her gloves were blue gauntlets with her hybrid Duel Disk on her left arm. It was a combination of Rio and Enna's Duel Disks. The body of the Duel Disk was pure blue and in the shape of a shield with 11 zones in the shape of crystals blades sticking out. Finally, she had a white crown of sorts on her head with an indigo coloured Duel-Gazer attached to it that went over her left eye.
The Zexal form stood 10 feet away from Luna, a silver aura surrounding her as she stared at the Moon Duelist with narrowed eyes. Luna stared at the combined form of Rio and Enna with wide disbelief filled eyes. Even Moon Goddess Dragon Selene stared down at the Ice Queen in the same manner as its duelist. Frozen Lady Absolute Justice grew a small smile upon seeing her Duelist arrive at last. The silver aura around Rio slightly died down, but still remained as she slightly widened her eyes. She looked down at her hands as she held them up, now holding Blizzard Jet's card with her left hand.
"Is this… really me? Amazing…" Rio whispered in awe as she grew a small smile on her face, before she looked at the combined Duel Disk of hers and Enna's. 'This is the combined form of our bond. This is our Zexal form'. Enna informed the teenage girl from within their combined form, getting Rio to slightly widen her eyes in surprise.
"That voice...is that you Rio!?" Luna questioned her former best friend in surprise, grabbing Rio's attention as she focused her attention on the Moon Duelist. The combined form of Rio and Enna then narrowed her eyes at the Moon Duelist. "You bet it's me! I've come here for my friend, my key and for some answers Luna and I'm not leaving here without them!" Rio told her former best friend with an icy voice, causing Frozen Lady Absolute Justice to smile as she rose up to her feet.
(Music end/ Play Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja 5 OST - 39 - Sasuke Uchiha)
Luna was silent as she stared at the opponent before her with wide eyes of disbelief, as if what she was seeing was the most unbelievable thing she's ever seen. "You… What the heck ARE you?!" Luna questioned her former best friend in disbelief, swiping her left hand to the side. "I'm your friend!" Rio answered instantly, making Luna lightly gasp as she took a step back in shock. "Despite everything you've done, even trying to take Reginald's soul, you're still my friend! That's why I don't want to lose you again, just like all those years ago!" The combined form of Rio and Enna told the Moon Duelist as the silver aura grew stronger, as if responding to her feelings.
"…" Luna stared at Rio in disbelief with wide eyes, registering what she just heard from the Ice Queen. "Why, Rio…? Why would you still consider me a friend after everything I've done…? Why would you go so far for me…?" The Moon Duelist questioned her former best friend, wanting to know why after everything she's done, Rio still considers her a friend. "Because this is the first bond I've ever had like this… That's why I'll do anything I can to stop you from severing it". Rio answered the Moon Duelist, speaking from her heart. Luna was silent as she stared at her former best friend for a few moments, before both of Luna's eyes narrowed dangerously.
"A bond… If that's how it is… then I'll just have to sever that bond!" The Moon Duelist exclaimed with an icy cold voice, bringing up her left arm with her Duel Disk now in front of her face. "I won't let that happen!" Rio retaliated at her old friend, before Enna appeared besides her on her right, looking see through like a ghost. 'If your words cannot reach her, then let your cards tell her your feelings'. The silver haired woman told her partner without facing her. Rio looked at the see-through silver haired woman and nodded to Enna, before she looked back at Luna.
Rio Life Points: 700/ Number of cards in hand: 1.
Rio looked down at the deck of cards for a moment, then shifted her eyes over to her right hand. Her mind thought back to the night where Yuma and Astral did their first Zexal Morph, and how they did their Shining Draw. "Let's see if we can do that!" The combined form of Rio and Enna exclaimed as her right hand began glowing a bright gold colour, before she thrust it up into the air. Sparkles of gold energy then began gathering in her right hand.
"A truly powerful Duelist can shake the outcome of a Duel! She can even generate the very card that she needs to draw!" Enna called out as the female Zexal placed her right hand's index and middle fingers on the top card of her deck, which started glowing the moment she touched it. "Go Shining Draw!" Rio and Enna called out as their combined form drew their card in a dramatic fashion, leaving a gold veil as she moved her right hand.
Rio flipped the card over to see what the card was, before she widened her eyes upon seeing something unexpected. '…This is…?' The combined form of Rio and Enna thought in disbelief, having thought that a card like the one that she drew didn't even exist. She brought her card up to her face and stared at it with wide eyes for a few moments, before she narrowed them, now filled with determination.
"I activate the Spell card, Rank-Up-Magic Shining Force!" Zexal Rio called out as she held the Spell card up into the air with her right hand, before the card unleashed a powerful shining light. Luna widened her eyes in surprise upon hearing the Spell card's name. "Another Rank-Up-Magic card!?" The Moon Duelist called out in surprise at seeing the new Rank-Up-Magic card. At that moment, Frozen Lady Absolute Justice spread her wings out and ascended into the sky.
'This card ranks up a Number S into another Number S that's 1 Rank higher!' Enna explained the Rank-Up-Magic's effect as Frozen Lady Absolute Justice took ahold of her long sword, before holding it up into the sky. "We rebuild the Overlay Network with the Rank 6 Number S21: Frozen Lady Absolute Justice!" Zexal Rio and Enna called out as the tip of Frozen Lady Absolute Justice's long sword let out a sparkle, before unleashing a powerful bright light that covered the Xyz Monster completely from view.
The combined form of Rio and Enna swiped her right hand out to the right side with the thumb, index and middle fingers out. Sparkles appeared out of nowhere and gathered together between the three fingers, before forming into a single card. "GO! RANK UP SHINING XYZ EVOLUTION!" Zexal Rio and Enna called out as their combined form flipped the card over, revealing that it was a blank card. Then, gold dust came off the blankness of the card, revealing the window of the card as if the blank form was just a cover for its true appearance. "APPEAR! NUMBER S21: FROZEN LADY JUDGMENT!" The combined form of Rio and Enna called out as the powerful bright light cleared to reveal the evolved form of Frozen Lady Absolute Justice.
She now wore a pure light blue body suit with shards of sharp ice forming into her high heeled boots and gauntlets that covered her skin completely. Her chest was covered by a breast plate of pure ice with twin shoulder pads resembling birds. Extending from her back were a pair of large white wings. Her hair was now so long that it reached down to her waist with an ice formed crown over the head. Lady Judgement wielded what appeared to be a beautiful one-handed/two-handed hybrid sword. The pommel was icy blue; the cross guard and grip were pure white. The center of the blue blade was pure silver and finally, the tip was shining white.
Frozen Lady Judgment opened her closed eyes, revealing them to still be blue, before she flew into the air. She swung her sword in front of her to the left, and then the right, before she gave out a battle cry.
(Number S21: Frozen Lady Judgment/ Rank: 7/ Attribute: Water/ Type: Aqua/ Xyz/ Effect/ Requirements: 4 Level 7 monsters/ ATK Points: 1000/ DEF Points: 1000/ Effect: Cannot be destroyed by battle except with "Number" monsters. When this card declares an attack on an opponent's monster, its effects are negated until the end of the Damage Step. This card's ATK becomes equal to its Rank x 1000 during the Battle Phase only. If this card has 'Number S21: Frozen Lady Absolute Justice', it gains this effect. Once a turn; you can detach an Xyz Material from this card, all monsters your opponent controls' have their ATK and DEF reduced to 0.)
Luna and Moon Goddess Dragon Selene looked up at the Number S Xyz Monster in awe as Frozen Lady Judgment floated down to above her Duelist, while Rio stared at the evolved form of her ace monster with an expression of pure determination.
(Music end/ Meanwhile back with Yuma)
Orbital 8 Life Points: 1100/ Number of cards in hand: 0.
"I-It's my turn now!" Orbital 8 called out as she drew her card in a dramatic fashion. Yuma and Astral narrowed their eyes at their opponent, while Gagaga Cowboy stood ready for whatever assault Bujinki Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi throws at him. "I-I activate Bujintersection's effect! By discarding my Bujingi Centipede, your monster's effect is negated!" The female robot explained her Spell card's effect as she sent her card to the Graveyard Zone of her Duel Disk.
A gold aura appeared over Gagaga Cowboy, making him groan in discomfort as he felt a bit of his power sealed away. Yuma and Astral frowned in confusion, wondering why Obrital 8 did that when Gagaga Cowboy couldn't use his effect on her turn, but the female robot was kind enough to reveal why. "Now I-I activate Bujingi Centipede's special ability from the Graveyard!" Orbital 8 called out, thrusting her right robotic hand out as a black portal appeared in front of her.
"If I control a Beast-Warrior Bujin monster, like Amaterasu, I can remove Centipede from the Graveyard and destroy one of your Spell and Trap cards! And I choose to destroy that face-down card!" The female robot explained her monster's special ability as Bujingi Centipede came out of the black portal, crawling towards Yuma's face down, before destroying both it and itself. "Wise choice. Our face-down card, Half Unbreak would have kept Gagaga Cowboy from being destroyed, but now with our Trap gone, she can destroy him now". Astral commented with a slightly impressed look on his face, while Yuma narrowed his eye.
"Go Bujinki Amaterasu, attack Gagaga Cowboy!" Orbital 8 commanded her Xyz Monster, pointing towards Gagaga Cowboy with her right hand. Amaterasu held its sword up, before it began charging towards Gagaga Cowboy. "Xyz Territory's effect activates once more!" The female robot reminded her opponent as flames surrounded the two Xyz Monsters.
Gagaga DEF Points: 2400 + 800 = 3200/ ATK Points: 1500 + 800 = 2300.
Bujinki Amaterasu ATK Points: 2600 + 800 = 3400/ DEF Points: 2500 + 800 = 3300.
Amaterasu swiped its sword at Gagaga Cowboy, slicing through his body, before the Warrior-Type Xyz Monster exploded. With its task done, Amaterasu returned to Orbital 8's side.
Bujinki Amaterasu ATK Points: 3400 – 800 = 2600/ DEF Points: 3300 – 800 = 2500.
"With this, m-my victory is assured! Tsukuyomi, attack Yuma directly and end this!" Orbital 8 commanded her second Xyz Monster with a cheerful tone. Tsukuyomi drew its sword, before it began charging towards the teenage boy, who showed no fear at the approaching attack. "Nothing's ending just yet!" Yuma exclaimed as he held up his right hand, before a crimson virtual card materialized between his index and middle fingers.
"I activate the special ability of Rainbow Kuriboh from my hand! When I'm attacked directly by an Xyz Monster, I can equip this card to that monster, and it can no longer attack!" The Syllables Duelist explained with his virtual card disappearing as Rainbow Kuriboh's card materialized on the field, before the card glowed with Rainbow Kuriboh appearing from the glow. "Kuri kuri!" The Fiend-Type monster cutely called out, before he frowned and flew towards Bujintei Tsukuyomi, leaving a rainbow veil as he flew.
Rainbow Kuriboh began flying around Tsukuyomi, causing the Beast-Warrior monster to stop its advance and attempt to destroy the Fiend-Type monster with its blade, but it kept missing. "With this, your last attack is spent!" Yuma told his opponent, making Orbital 8 grow a frustrated look on her face. "For shock's sake! I'll get you next turn! I end my turn here!" The female robot declared her turn over, having nothing left to do.
Yuma Life Points: 2500/ Number of cards in hand: 1.
"Yuma, we've wasted enough time. It's time to finish this and advance on". Astral told his partner, having his arms crossed as he floated beside the 13-year-old boy. "Agreed! Let's end this!" Yuma exclaimed as he placed his right hand right at the edge of his Duel Disk, before a virtual card came out of the orb and into between his index and middle fingers. "My turn now! I draw!" Yuma called out as he drew his card in a dramatic fashion by swiping his right hand out to the side, before holding it in front of his face. The Syllables Duelist grew a slightly surprised look, before he grew a smirk on his face.
'Well, I'd say that now is a good time to try this new card out'. The Syllables Duelist said in his mind, feeling excited to test one of his new cards out. Yuma then turned the card over to show Orbital 8 what it was. It was a monster card with the image showing a mini Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon, just like Utopic Onomatopoeia was a little version of Utopia. "I Summon Dark Rebellion Onomatopoeia!" Yuma called out as the virtual card disappeared, before a larger version of the card materialized on the field. The card glowed, before the mini version of Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon came out of the glow and flew into the air.
(Dark Rebellion Onomatopoeia/ Level: 4/ Attribute: Dark/ Type: Dragon/ Effect/ ATK Points: 1500/ DEF Points: 1500/ Effect: (This card is always treated as a "Zubaba", "Gagaga", "Gogogo", and "Dododo" card.) During your Main Phase: You can Special Summon up to 1 each "Zubaba", "Gagaga", "Gogogo", and/or "Dododo" monster(s) from your Graveyard in DEF Position, also you cannot Special Summon from the Extra Deck for the rest of this turn, except Xyz Monsters. You can only use this effect of "Utopic Onomatopoeia" once per turn. If this card is used as Xyz Material for "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon", select one face-up Xyz Monster your opponent controls, its Rank is treated as a Level double its Rank)
Astral grew a small smile upon seeing the new addition to Yuma's deck. It was a card that he had used his powers to create to help both the main deck, and to help with Dark Rebellion's effect. "Well, I'd say that this is a good time to test the new card out". Astral remarked, getting Yuma to grin in agreement, before he held his right hand out. "I activate Dark Rebellion Onomatopoeia's special ability! During the Main Phase, I can Special Summon 1 ""Zubaba", "Gagaga", "Gogogo", and/or "Dododo" monster from the Graveyard!" The Syllables Duelist explained his monster's effect as Dark Rebellion Onomatopoeia gave out a roar, before its metal wings extended and surged with electrical power.
The electrical power shot out of the mini dragon and shot out into the air, before forming into 4 electrical portals. "Come on back! Utopic Onomatopoeia! Gogogo Golem! Dododo Warrior! And Gagaga Gardna!" Astral called out, swiping his right hand out as Utopic Onomatopoeia flew out of one of the electrical portals, while Gogogo Golem, Dodo Warrior and Gagaga Gardna fell out of the other portals and crashed onto the ground.
Utopic Onomatopoeia DEF Points: 1500/ Level: 4.
Gogogo Golem DEF Points: 1500/ Level: 4.
Dododo Warrior DEF Points: 900/ Level: 6.
Gagaga Gardna DEF Points: 2000/ Level: 4.
"W-What the heck! You filled up your field just from one effect!?" Orbital 8 called out in surprise at seeing the four monsters appear and fill up Yuma's field. "Oh, don't worry; they won't be sticking around for long!" Yuma reassured his opponent, before thrusting his right fist out. "I Overlay my Level 4 Dark Rebellion Onomatopoeia and Utopic Onomatopoeia!" The Syllables Duelist called out as Dark Rebellion Onomatopoeia transformed into a bright purple light, while Utopic Onomatopoeia turned into a bright yellow light.
The two lights flew into the air, flying around it each other. A galaxy-like portal appeared on the ground in front of Yuma and Astral, causing the Syllables Duelist's jacket to slightly blow. "With these two monsters, I build the Overlay Network!" Yuma called out as the two lights flew down into the galaxy portal, before lightning surged out of it. "Cloaked in shadows and relentless in its objective, I call upon the most dangerous of dragons! I Xyz Summon Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon!" The Syllables Duelist called out as his second ace Xyz Monster, Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon appeared from the galaxy portal, spinning around, before giving out a cry.
Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon ATK Points: 2500/ Rank: 4/ Overlay units: 2.
"At this moment, Dark Rebellion Onomatopoeia's special ability activates!" Yuma called out, swiping his right hand out to the side as Dark Rebellion Onomatopoeia appeared above his larger counterpart, looking see through like a ghost, and gave out a roar. "When this card is used to Xyz Summon Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon, one of your Xyz Monster's Ranks is treated as a Level that's double its Rank!" The teenage boy explained his monster's effect as the ghostly form of Dark Rebellion Onomatopoeia turned into black energy that shot out and struck Bujinki Amaterasu, causing a black aura to surround him.
Bujinki Amaterasu Rank: 4/ Level: 8.
"A-At this moment, I activate Amaterasu's special ability! By using an Overlay Unit, I can add the removed from play Bujingi Centipede to my hand!" Orbital 8 called out as Amaterasu absorbed its last overlay unit into its sword, before lifting it up into the air. The blade let out a bright light as sparkles came together in Orbital 8's left hand and formed into a single card.
"Yuma, now Summon Zubababancho Gagagacoat!" Astral advised his partner, which Yuma nodded to him as he held up his right hand as the crimson virtual card of Zubababancho Gagagacoat appeared, being held by his index, middle and thumb fingers. "If I control a Zubaba or Gagaga monster, I can Special Summon Zubababancho Gagagacoat from my hand!" Yuma called out as the virtual card disappeared, before a larger version of Zubababancho Gagagacoat's card materialized on the field. A brown twister came out of the card, before it cleared to reveal Zubababancho Gagagacoat, who gave out a cry as it hoisted its blade on its right shoulder.
Zubababancho Gagagacoat ATK Points: 1800/ Level: 4.
"But it won't be around for long because now I Overlay him with Gogogo Golem!" The Syllables Duelist called out as both Zubababancho Gagagacoat and Gogogo Golem turned into bright brown lights that ascended into the air. A red Xyz portal appeared on the ground in front of Yuma and Astral, slightly blowing the teenage boy's jacket in the breeze once more. "With these two monsters, I build the Overlay Network!" Yuma called out as the two lights flew down into the galaxy portal, before an explosion of energy came out. "I Xyz Summon Maestroke the Symphony Djinn!" The teenage boy called out as Maestroke the Symphony Djinn floated out of the explosion of energy with its rapier in hand and two purple overlay units circling around it.
Maestroke the Symphony Djinn ATK Points: 1800/ Rank: 4/ Overlay units: 2.
Yuma then swiped his right hand out to the side. "I now activate the effect of Onomatopickup!" The Syllables Duelist called out as his Continuous Spell began glowing, before a white aura appeared over Dododo Warrior and Gagaga Gardna. "I target a "Zubaba", "Gagaga", "Gogogo", or "Dododo" monster I control, and then all monsters I currently control become the same Level as that monster. I select the Level 6 Dododo Warrior, and now Gagaga Gardna becomes the same Level as him". Yuya explained his Continuous Spell's effect, while Gagaga Gardna's Level went up.
Gagaga Gardna Level: 4 + 2 = 6.
"Now, I Overlay the Level 6 Dododo Warrior and Gagaga Gardna!" The Syllables Duelist called out as his two monsters turned into bright brown lights that ascended into the air. A red Xyz portal appeared on the ground in front of Yuma and Astral, slightly blowing the teenage boy's jacket in the breeze. "With these two monsters, I build the Overlay Network!" Yuma called out as the two lights flew down into the galaxy portal, before an explosion of energy came out. "I Xyz Summon Gauntlet Launcher!" The teenage boy called out as Gauntlet Launcher rose up from the explosion of energy with two brown overlay units circling around him.
Gauntlet Launcher ATK Points: 2400/ Rank: 6/ Overlay units: 2.
"W-what the shock! 3 Xyz Monsters in one turn!" Orbital 8 exclaimed in shock as she stared up at all 3 Xyz Monsters her opponent controled. "That's right! Now to get to business! I activate Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon's special ability!" Yuma called out as Dark Rebellion absorbed one of his overlay units, before his metal wings began extending with electrical energy surging through them.
"By using an Overlay Unit, he cuts the ATK Points of a Level 5 or higher monster that you control, and he gains the lost amount!" The Syllables Duelist explained his Xyz Monster's special ability, before Dark Rebellion launched his electrical energy at Amaterasu, gripping the Beast-Warrior-Type Monster in a tight bind.
Bujinki Amaterasu ATK Points: 2600 – 1300 = 1300.
Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon ATK Points: 2500 + 1300 = 3800.
"S-So that's why you granted Amaterasu a Level!?" Orbital 8 exclaimed in surprise, now knowing why Yuma granted her monster a Level. "That's right, but I'm not done yet! Now Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon, attack Bujinki Amaterasu and end this!" Yuma commanded his Xyz Monster, pointing towards Bujinki Amaterasu. Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon gave out a cry as electrical energy surged through his fangs, before he charged towards Amaterasu.
"A-at this moment, I activate Bujingi Fox's special ability from the Graveyard!" The female robot called out, thrusting her right robotic hand out as a black portal appeared in front of her. "By banishing this card and sending a Bujin monster from my hand to the Graveyard…!" Orbital 8 began to explain as she sent her only card to the Graveyard Zone of her Duel Disk, while Bujingi Fox's card fell into the black portal and turned into particles. "I take no damage for this whole turn!" She finished explaining her monster's effect as a white barrier formed around her.
"You're safe for the moment, but your monsters aren't! And don't forget your Field Spell grants all Xyz Monster 200 extra ATK and DEF Points x their Ranks!" Yuma reminded his opponent as flames surrounded both Dark Rebellion and Amaterasu.
Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon ATK Points: 3800 + 800 = 4600/ DEF Points: 2000 + 800 = 2800.
Bujinki Amaterasu ATK Points: 1300 + 800 = 2100/ DEF Points: 2500 + 800 = 3300.
Dark Rebellion tore right through Amaterasu's body, causing the Beast-Warrior-Type monster's torn through body to explode.
Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon ATK Points: 4600 – 800 = 3800/ DEF Points: 2800 – 800 = 2000.
Dark Rebellion then returned to Yuya's side of the field, who swiped his right hand out towards Bujintei Tsukuyomi. "Now Gauntlet Launcher, move in and slay Tsukuyomi with a direct attack!" The Syllables Duelist commanded his Xyz Monster. Gauntlet Launcher let out a battle cry, before it began charging towards Tsukuyomi. Flames then appeared over the both of them, powering the two Xyz Monsters up.
Gauntlet Launcher ATK Points: 2400 + 1200 = 3600/ DEF Points: 2800 + 1200 = 4000.
Bujintei Tsukuyomi ATK Points: 1800 + 800 = 2600/ DEF Points: 2300 + 800 = 3100.
Once he was close enough, Gauntlet Launcher brought his left gauntlet to Tsukuyomi's chest, before firing in close contact. Due to the close contact, Tsukuyomi exploded instantly, creating a shockwave, but the barrier around Orbital 8 protected her from harm.
Gauntlet Launcher ATK Points: 3600 – 1200 = 2400/ DEF Points: 4000 – 1200 = 2800.
Gauntlet Launcher then returned to Yuma's side besides Dark Rebellion and Maestroke. "I have nothing left to do, so I'll end my turn here!" Yuma declared his turn over, having nothing left to do. The barrier around Orbital 8 disappeared, leaving her frowning.
Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon ATK Points: 3800 – 1300 = 2500.
Orbital 8 Life Points: 1100/ Number of cards in hand: 0.
"I-It's my turn now!" Orbital 8 called out as she drew her card in a dramatic fashion, before holding the card in front of her to see what it was. The female robot gave a frown, before she placed the card on her Duel Disk's Monster Zone. "I'll play a monster in face-down DEF Position!" The female robot called out as a face-down card materialized in front of her in sideways position.
"Then I'll end my turn, but at this moment, I activate Bujintersection's final effect!" Orbital 8 called out as her Continuous Spell dispersed into gold sparkles. "B-By sending this card to the Graveyard, I can Special Summon a Bujin monster from my Graveyard! Rise up Bujinki Amaterasu!" The female robot called out as the gold sparkles came together and formed Bujinki Amaterasu.
Bujinki Amaterasu ATK Points: 2600/ Rank: 4/ Overlay units: 0.
Yuma Life Points: 2500/ Number of cards in hand: 0.
Yuma placed his right hand right at the edge of his Duel Disk, before a virtual card came out of the orb and into between his index and middle fingers. "My turn now! I draw!" Yuma called out as he drew his card in a dramatic fashion by swiping his right hand out to the side. "Use Gauntlet Launcher's effect". Astral advised his partner, which Yuma nodded without facing him. "I activate Gauntlet Launcher's special ability!" The Syllables Duelist called out, thrusting his right fist out towards Amaterasu.
Gauntlet Launcher absorbed one of his overlay units into his left gauntlet, before holding it up and pointed it towards Amaterasu. "By using an Overlay Unit, Gauntlet Launcher automatically destroys a monster on the field!" Yuma explained his Xyz Monster's special ability, much to Orbital 8's shock as she cried out in dread. "No!" The female robot called out in dread, before Gauntlet Launcher launched his gauntlet at Amaterasu.
Orbital 8 grew a frown and let out a small growl, before swiping her right robotic hand forward. "I activate Bujingi Hare's special ability from the Graveyard!" The female robot called out as a black portal appeared in front of her. Bujingi Hare jumped out of the black portal and stared hopping towards Amaterasu. "I can b-banish this card from my Graveyard! That keeps one of my Beast-Warrior-Type Bujin monsters from being destroyed in battle, or by card effects once!" Orbital 8 explained her monster's effect as Hare jumped in front of Amaterasu and took the hit for him, causing the gauntlet to explode and take him out with it.
"I see. She was hoping to use Bujingi Hare's special ability to keep one of her monsters from being destroyed by battle. That way, she could have survived one more turn to plan a counterattack". Astral commented, figuring out Orbital 8's strategy for this turn. "Well, too bad! Go Maestroke the Symphony Djinn; attack her face-down monster!" Yuma commanded his Xyz Monster, swiping his right hand out to the side. Maestroke gave out a cry as he swiped his rapier to the side, before he charged towards the face-down monster with flames appearing and surrounding his body.
Maestroke the Symphony Djinn ATK Points: 1800 + 800 = 2600/ DEF Points: 2300 + 800 = 3100.
The face-down card flipped itself over, revealing itself to be Bujingi Wolf's card. The Beast-Type monster's card gleamed, before Bujingi Wolf rose up from the glow in a defense stance. Maestroke impaled Bujingi Wolf through the head, causing the Beast-Type monster to explode.
Maestroke the Symphony Djinn ATK Points: 2600 – 800 = 1800/ DEF Points: 3100 – 800 = 2300.
Maestroke then leaped away and landed besides Dark Rebellion and Gauntlet Launcher. "You're up Gauntlet Launcher! Attack Bujinki Amaterasu!" Yuma commanded, now pointing towards Amaterasu with his right hand. Gauntlet Launcher gave out a cry, and then he started charging towards Amaterasu. Flames then surrounded the two Xyz Monsters, powering them up.
Gauntlet Launcher ATK Points: 2400 + 1200 = 3600/ DEF Points: 2800 + 1200 = 4000.
Bujinki Amaterasu ATK Points: 2600 = 800 = 3400/ DEF Points: 2500 + 800 = 3300.
Once he was close enough, Gauntlet Launcher brought his left gauntlet to Amaterasu's chest, before firing in close contact. Due to the close contact, Amaterasu exploded instantly, creating a shockwave that blew Orbital 8 off the ground and into the air. (3600 – 3400 = 200)
Orbital 8: Life Points: 1100 – 200 = 900.
Gauntlet Launcher ATK Points: 3600 - 1200 = 2400/ DEF Points: 4000 - 1200 = 2800.
Orbital 8 crashed onto the ground on her back, while Gauntlet Launcher returned to his Duelist's side. "With this final attack, this Duel is over". Yuma stated with a smirk, holding up his right fist. Orbital 8 rose back up, before she looked at her opponent and realized that he was right. "T-this can't be happening! I-I must win for my Mistress!" The female robot exclaimed in horror, getting Yuma to lose his smirk and look at her with a curious expression on his face.
"And why's that?" The Syllables Duelist questioned his opponent, wanting to know why she was so desperate to win the Duel. Orbital 8 lowered her head in sadness as she thought about her mistress. "S-she's hurting right now, all because her old friends got involved in this s-shocking Numbers thing! Now s-she's hurting herself because of what she did to Reginald Kastle, and what she's about to do to Rio Kastle. She's breaking her own heart". The female robot confessed to her opponent, getting both Yuma and Astral to look at her in sympathy.
"The Number Hunter isn't just hurting Rio and Shark with her own actions; she's hurting herself as well. But why would she do this?" Astral questioned with a look of pity on his face. "If what you're saying is true, then why is Luna doing all this? Why did she try to take Shark's soul and stole Rio's key?" Yuma questioned the female robot, getting Orbital 8 to lift her head to look up at him. "That's none of your business. You're an outsider, so this doesn't concern you!" The female robot snapped at the Syllables Duelist, making Yuma frown at her.
"I beg to differ! I'd love to continue this conversation, but I've got somewhere to be! Dark Rebellion, attack her directly and end this!" Yuma commanded his second ace monster, pointing towards Orbital 8 with his right hand's index finger. Dark Rebellion gave a small growl, before he leaped towards the female robot with flames surrounding him.
Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon ATK Points: 2500 + 800 = 3300/ DEF Points: 2000 + 800 = 2800.
Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon then spun around, before smacking Orbital 8 with his tail, sending her crying and crashing into the sealed door.
Orbital 8 Life Points: 900 – 3300 = 0.
Winner: Yuma!
A screen materialized in the air, showing a picture of Yuma with the words 'Win' underneath it. The screen, along with Yuma's monsters dispersed into particles as the AR – Vision deactivated around them, while Orbital 8 slide down to the ground. Yuma's Duel-Eye Tattoo deactivated, along with his Duel Disk and headset. The screen above the sealed door showed the words "Open" in red colours, before the door opened, allowing Yuma passage to continue on.
"Well done, Yuma. Now, we must press on". Astral praised his partner, getting Yuma to look up at him. "You're right, come on!" The Syllables Duelist called out as he took his headset and Duel Disk off and put them away. He then took off running down the hallway, passing by Orbital 8's fallen body with Astral floating after his partner. 'Hang on guys, we're on our way'. Yuma said in his mind, eager to get to his girlfriend's side. Astral had similar thoughts to reach his wife.
Unknown to the two partners, Orbital 8 rose back up to her feet, before she began chasing after the teenage boy.
(Meanwhile inside the Empress's Key)
Luna stared up at Number S21: Frozen Lady Judgment with wide eyes as she floated above Zexal Rio, who was staring down at her with narrowed eyes. "…A Rank Up Shining Xyz Evolution? I thought there was only Rank Up Chaos Xyz Evolution…" The Moon Duelist whispered in disbelief, before she gave a frown. "However, your new monster is nothing compared to my Moon Goddess Dragon Selene! You've wasted your so called "Shining Draw" for nothing!" Luna cried out, bringing her right hand up and then pointed towards Rio with the index finger.
Rio, on the other hand, just gave a smirk to her opponent. "That's where you're wrong. My Shining Draw wasn't for nothing". The combined form of Rio and Enna replied to her former best friend, making Luna slightly widen her eyes. "What did you just say?" The Moon Duelist questioned the Ice Queen with a frown.
"Luna, you once said that the light of the moon will erase all the pain of the world, but that's not the case anymore! There's another kind of light that shines the brightest, even brighter than the moon itself! The light of hope!" Zexal Rio began as Enna appeared besides her partner once more, having a fond smile as she listened. "That's the very light that allowed not just Enna and I this power, but so many others as well! It's a power that anyone can have, just by simply having hope!" The combined form of Rio and Enna continued, making Luna slightly gasp at her words.
(Play Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL - Sound Duel 3 - Disc 1 - 24. A Duel of Friendship)
"Mere strength alone might get you far, but it's through the power of the bonds you share with the people that you love that'll help you advance forward towards a new future! A future where everyone can understand each other and form an inseparable bond!" Zexal Rio continued, before pointing up towards Frozen Lady Judgment with her right hand's index finger. "Shining Evolution is a symbol of people being able to move forward and move beyond the darkness in their past, and that light will never fade away no matter what!" The combined form added as she brought her hand down, before she looked up towards the sky.
"Through our bonds, and the support of our friends, anyone can evolve! When their hearts are truly one, they'll evolve into a new version of themselves, a version beyond what they thought was possible, just like how Frozen Lady Absolute Justice became Frozen Lady Judgment!" Zexal Rio finished as she looked down at Luna before pointing towards her with the right hand's index finger.
"You should understand that too, Luna. Because you're also fighting for the sake of someone else!" The Ice Queen called out, causing Luna to take a step back in shock as memories of her family resurfaced inside of her mind. "Your light of hope may have turned into a light of destruction, but it hasn't fallen yet! It's because of the bond you share with your family that your light of hope still exists!" The combined form of Rio and Enna added, turning her right hand into a fist and held it out towards the Moon Duelist.
Luna had a look of disbelief on her face as she stared at her former best friend. 'Kite… Hart…' The Moon Duelist said in her mind, before she shed a single tear from her right eye. Zexal Rio then swiped her right hand into the air as it let out a silver light. "I activate Frozen Lady Judgment's special ability!" Zexal Rio cried out to the heavens as her ace monster held up itsone- handed sword into the air.
"If I used 'Number S21: Frozen Lady Absolute Justice' as Xyz Material for this monster's Xyz Summon, it grants her this effect! By one of its Overlay Unit…!" She began as Frozen Lady Judgment's single overlay unit was absorbed into her sword, causing an icy blue aura to surge through it. "All your monsters ATK and DEF Points are reduced to 0!" Zexal Rio finished, making Luna widen her eyes in complete shock at what she heard. "Say what!?" The Moon Duelist called out in disbelief, before she looked towards Frozen Lady Judgment.
"Haaaa!" Frozen Lady Judgment cried out as she swung her right hand down, hurling icy blue coloured energy at Moon Goddess Dragon Selene. The energy struck the Dragon-Type monster, causing an explosion that covered her from view. After a few moments, the explosion cleared to reveal Moon Goddess Dragon Selene almost completely encased in ice, even her wings were almost frozen.
Moon Goddess Dragon Selene ATK Points: 4500 – 4500 = 0/ DEF Points: 3800 – 3800 = 0.
Luna stared up at her strongest monster in disbelief at seeing it reduced to what it was now. "…Impossible". The Moon Duelist whispered, before she turned to look at Zexal Rio. "Now, onto the Battle Phase! At this moment, Frozen Lady Judgment's second effect activates! During the Battle Phase, her ATK Points become equal to her Rank x 1000!" The combined form of Rio and Enna called out, explaining the Xyz Monster's second effect.
Frozen Lady Judgment took ahold of her sword with both her hands, before it underwent a transformation. Pure icy blue energy appeared and surged through the blade with the energy surrounding the tip being a shining white colour, almost like a halo. Frozen Lady Judgment swiped her now two-handed blade up over her head, before she brought it down and pointed her blade towards Moon Goddess Dragon Selene.
Number S21: Frozen Lady Judgment ATK Points: 1000 + 6000 = 7000.
"SHE HAS 7000 ATK POINTS!?" Luna shouted out in shock at what she was seeing with her own eyes. "This is the result of the bond that we share! Now, feel the power of the bond that Enna and I have! Frozen Lady Judgment, attack Moon Goddess Dragon Selene with Final Frozen Slash!" Zexal Rio cried out as she swiped her right hand out and pointed towards Moon Goddess Dragon Selene with her right hand.
Frozen Lady Judgment spread her wings out fully, before she ascended into the sky and flew high. She flew very high into the air, before she stopped in mid-air and looked down towards Moon Goddess Dragon Selene. She began descending down towards the Dragon-Type Monster, holding her two-handed sword out towards Moon Goddess Dragon Selene.
Luna and Moon Goddess Dragon Selene looked up at the approaching attack, before the Moon Duelist turned her attention back to her opponent. "I activate the Trap, the Jar of Greed!" Luna called out as her face down card flipped itself open. "With this card, I draw one more card". The teenage girl explained her Trap card's effect, before she looked down at her Duel Disk, and the card on top of the deck.
'Everything rides on this last card. There's only one card that can save me from losing this Duel. If I don't draw it, they'll take all the Numbers that I've obtained! I can't lose here, not until I've cured Hart!' Luna shouted out inside of her mind as she brought the right hand to the top card of the deck and placed her fingers on it. However, her hand started shaking when it touched the card. Just then, a see-through hand came out of nowhere and laid itself atop Luna's hand.
The Moon Duelist widened her eyes in surprise; before she turned her head right to see who the hand belonged to, only to gasp in disbelief at who she saw. Standing next to Luna on her right was a fair skinned, see-through adult woman with long white hair and green bangs framing her face with pitch black lipstick. She wore a long dark blue sleeveless dress with a white short jacket over it, black stockings and high heels. But this woman wasn't any random woman, it was her deceased mother.
Luna stared at her adoptive mother in disbelief, who just smiled with pure love in her eyes directed at the Moon Duelist. Luna wasn't the only one staring in shock as Zexal Rio and Enna were staring at the adult woman with wide eyes. "Is it really you?" Luna questioned in a low voice full of emotion, her emotions overwhelming at seeing her beloved mother again. The adult woman gave a nod to the younger female, getting Luna to grow a small, but happy smile upon realizing that it was indeed her mother.
The two then looked up at Zexal Rio with eyes full of resolve. "Okay, let's do this together!" Luna exclaimed as she drew her card in a dramatic fashion, her mother's right hand following her daughter's movement as she drew the card. Luna brought the card up to see what it was, before she turned her head right to look at her mother. "Once again, you've saved me. Thank you, mother". The dark purple and pink haired girl thanked her deceased mother, making Zexal Rio widened her eyes in shock upon learning the mysterious woman's identity.
The adult woman gave her adoptive daughter another smile, before she disappeared. Luna slightly widened her eyes, bringing her left hand up to reach for her mother, but she stopped herself. The Moon Duelist closed her eyes and took a deep breath, before she opened her eyes to reveal them full of determination. Luna then held her card out, revealing it to be a Monster Card with the image showing a giant white fur coloured mole with blue feet, hands and eyes. "I activate the effect of Moon Counter from my hand!" The Moon Duelist called out as her card began gleaming bright white.
(Moon Counter/ Level: 1/ Attribute: LIGHT/ Type: Beast/ Effect/ ATK Points: 0/ DEF Points: 0/ Effect: If you control a Moon monster, you can remove this card from play from your hand or Graveyard. For the rest of this turn, your opponent takes damage equal to the same amount of Battle Damage you take this turn)
Moon Counter burst out of the ground in front of Moon Goddess Dragon Selene, before looking up at the approaching Frozen Lady Judgment. "If I control a Moon monster, I can remove this card from play…!" Luna began to explain as the white mole dispersed into white particles. "Then for the rest of the turn, you take damage equal to the amount I take this turn!" She finished explaining her card's effect as the white particles came together and formed a force field in front of Moon Goddess Dragon Selene.
Zexal Rio and Enna widened their eyes in shock as they realized what that meant. Frozen Lady Judgment continued to charge downwards, before eventually striking the force field. However, the moment her blade made contact with the force field, it turned into a giant explosion, even catching Moon Goddess Dragon Selene and Frozen Lady Judgment in it. "Selene!" Luna called out in concern for her dragon, before she was blown off her feet by the force of the explosion and was sent flying. Zexal Rio was sent flying just like her, before both teenage girls slammed onto the ground and slid across it for a few seconds, before eventually stopping, groaning a bit in pain. (7000 – 0 = 7000)
Luna Life Points: 4950 – 7000 = 0.
Rio Life Points: 700 – 7000 = 0.
Draw!
(Music end)
A screen appeared with the words "Draw" on it, before it disappeared. The two girls rose up to their feet with their narrowed eyes glued to each other. However, Luna grew a small smile on her face as she held her left shoulder with her right hand. "You've… really grown since I last saw you, Rio". The Moon Duelist confessed, honestly amazed with how strong her former best friend has become.
Zexal Rio returned the smile to the Moon Duelist. "Back at ya. You're even stronger than before". The combined form of Rio and Enna replied to Luna, before she changed her carefree expression into a serious one with her eyes narrowed. "Now tell me why. Why are you hunting Number cards? What happened to you?" Zexal Rio questioned the dark purple and pink haired girl, wanting her questions finally answered by her.
Luna's expression fell at her former best friend's words, before she turned her back to Zexal Rio so that she wouldn't see her heart broken eyes. "The reason why I'm doing all this is because it's the only way for me to cure my little brother Hart". Luna answered with a sad voice upon thinking of her sick little brother. Zexal Rio widened her eyes as her mind instantly thought back to the picture she saw not too long ago on the console. "…The caretaker told you that I was adopted, right? All you need to know is that everything I've done is for my family, a family that I love with all my heart". The Moon Duelist answered the second questioned, before she began to cry tears upon thinking about her broken family. She brought her right forearm up and whipped her tears away.
After a few moments, Luna brought her right arm down, before she turned to look over her left shoulder to look at Zexal Rio and gave her a glare. "That's why no matter what, or how much it pains me, I'll hunt all the Numbers to save my little brother. Even if that means hunting you". Luna told her old best friend with a cold voice, her eyes soulless as she stared at Zexal Rio, who narrowed her eyes at the Moon Duelist.
(Back outside of the Empress's Key)
The lab doors opened, before Yuma ran in with Astral flying above his partner. The two partners stopped running upon seeing the destroyed crystal, but no sight of the Empress's Key, Rio or Luna. "Rio!" Yuma called out, turning his head left and right to spot his girlfriend anywhere, but didn't see her. "Enna! Are you here!?" Astral called out in hopes for his wife to respond to him. Just then, alarms caught the two partners' attention as they looked at the computer and saw multiple screens that showed Tori, Bronk, Caswell, Taiki and Cat unharmed, along with showing Orbital 5 and 6 completely scraped.
"Shock!" A familiar voice exclaimed in dread, before Orbital 8 rushed past Yuma and Astral towards the computer. She retook her seat as the whole building began shaking. "S-shocking heck! The mainframe has been over heated!" The female robot exclaimed in dread as sparks began coming out of the computer. Then, blue electricity came out of the computer in full force, making Orbital 8 cry out in horror.
"S-Shock! If this keeps up, the warehouse is gonna blow!" Orbital 8 exclaimed in panic, making Yuma and Astral widen their eyes in shock. "What did you just say!?" Yuma questioned in shock, but the female robot paid him no attention as the computer exploded. "This is not good". Astral stated, turning his head left and right to look across the room and saw it flashing red.
Meanwhile with Tori, Bronk, Caswell, Taiki and Cat, they all meet up in a random part of the hallway. "Is everyone alright?" Bronk questioned the group, receiving nods from everyone. "We're fine". Taiki told the Machine-Type Duelist, while Cat brought her left hand up to her chest. "The bigger question is what's happening?" The Cat Duelist questioned with a hint of fear in her voice.
"Who knows! Let's just get out of here!" Caswell exclaimed in panic, getting Bronk to look at the group for a moment, before he nodded to his class room's representative. "You're right. Let's go". Bronk told the group, getting Tori to look at him in concern. "But what about Yuma and Rio?" The Fairy-Duelist questioned in concern for her childhood friend and best friend. Bronk looked hesitate for a moment, before he grabbed onto Tori's left hand with his right one.
Tori widened her eyes in slight surprised at her friend's unexpected action. "They'll be fine… just believe in them! Right now, we need to get out of here!" The Machine-Type Duelist told his friend, before he began leading the group out of the warehouse, keeping a tight hold on Tori's hand. Tori looked over her right shoulder as the group ran. "Yuma! Rio!" Tori called out in concern, hoping her friends manage to escape.
(Back in the Empress's Key)
The ground below the two Duelists suddenly changed to a dangerous red colour, making both Luna and Zexal Rio look down in surprise. "What the!?" Zexal Rio exclaimed in surprise, holding her hands slightly up. "What's happening!?" Luna questioned in surprise, looking down at the ground as it began to shake.
Enna then appeared besides Rio, looking down at the ground below them. 'Something's happening outside of the Empress's Key. We must leave now!' Enna exclaimed as she swiped her right hand up to the sky, before the whole world around them flashed a bright silver colour.
(With Yuma)
Yuma and Astral both widened their eyes as the computer continued to explode, while Orbital 8 had been pushed off her chair from the first one and was now watching the computer explode continuingly. Just then, a bright silver portal appeared between the three, getting Yuma, Astral and Orbital 8 to look at it with wide eyes of surprise.
Rio, Enna and Luna all jumped out of the portal with all three of them landing on their feet, making Yuma, Astral and Orbital 8 all smile in relief to see them all alright. "Enna!" Astral exclaimed in relief with a smile, getting Enna's attention. She turned and saw her husband not too far from her, making the silver haired woman smile happily at seeing her lover again when she thought she'd never have the chance.
"Rio!" Yuma exclaimed in relief, before he ran over to his girlfriend, who held her arms out to her boyfriend. Upon reaching her, Yuma wrapped his arms around the Ice Queen and brought her into a hug, who returned it with her arms wrapped around Yuma's neck. Astral followed his partner's example and wrapped his arms around Enna's waist in a hug, who wrapped her arms around his neck and returned the hug.
Luna stared at the hugging forms of Yuma and Rio with a hint of envy in her eyes. "Mistress! The mainframe!" Orbital 8 called out to her mistress, getting Luna's full attention as she turned to look at her robot companion. "We need to leave! It's about to blow!" The female robot added, making Luna widen her eyes in shock. Before anyone could react, the whole computer began to glow bright red as it was about to set off.
At the last second before the computer exploded, Yuma's Emperor's Key and Rio's Empress's Key shined their representative colours, before the whole building exploded.
Safely outside the warehouse, Tori, Bronk, Caswell, Taiki and Cat all watched the warehouse continue to explode. "Yuma! Rio!" Tori called out in concern for her friends with tears in her eyes. The warehouse then exploded in a large explosion that took out the whole building. A few moments later after the explosion died down, all that was left of the warehouse was ruble all over the place. The five teenagers stood in front of the remains of the warehouse, before Tori and Cat collapsed to their knees.
The two females began to openly weep, along with Bronk, Taiki and Caswell for the lost of their friends. "Yuma… Rio…" Tori said in a low voice, before she closed her eyes shut. "YUMA! RIO!" She called out in sorrow for the lost of her two closet friends. Just then, bright yellow and white lights started coming out of a large pile of rubble, getting the gang's attention as they looked at the lights.
The rubble was then blasted away, making Tori, Bronk, Caswell, Taiki and Cat widened their eyes in surprise, before they gasped in disbelief at what they saw. Huddled up together were the couching forms of Number 39: Utopia and Number 21: Frozen Lady Justice with their arms wrapped around each other. The two Xyz Monsters then released their hold on each other, before they stood up, allowing the gang to see that they were covering Yuma and Rio the whole time. Unseen to them was that Astral and Enna were right besides the human couple as well, both wrapped in each other's arms.
The couple was still wrapped in each other's arms, only now Yuma looked like he was trying to shield Rio from something. The two couples released their holds on each other, before they looked up at the two Xyz Monsters with wide eyes of disbelief, while they looked down at Yuma, Rio, Astral and Enna with relived expressions on their faces.
Then, Utopia and Frozen Lady Justice slowly began to disappear, before they disappeared completely. "Utopia and Frozen Lady Justice… they protected us…" Rio said in disbelief that her and Yuma's ace monsters protected them from the explosions. "But how is that possible?" Yuma questioned as he and Rio rose up to their feet, while Astral and Enna floated off the ground and into the air.
"Yuma?! Rio?!" Tori whispered in disbelief as she, along with Bronk, Caswell, Taiki and Cat stared at the couple in disbelief, before they all smiled in relief to see them safe. Yuma and Rio turned to look at their friends, before they both smiled at them. "Hey guys! Did you miss us?" Yuma greeted his friends with a grin, while Tori and Cathy got up from the ground and stood up fully.
Tori grew a frustrated look on her face as Yuma and Rio began walking down towards her, Bronk, Caswell, Taiki and Cat, while Astral and Enna floated above them. "You can't just say something like that after what just happened!" The Fairy-Type Duelist snapped at her childhood friend with a pount as Yuma and Rio stopped in front of them. "Way to go, guys! You got Rio's key back!" Bronk praised the two, noticing Rio's Empress's Key hanging around her neck again.
Rio smiled at Bronk, before she looked at the relived faces of her friends and felt happy. However, she then widened her eyes as she remembered something important. "Wait, where's Luna!" The Ice Queen questioned in concern for her former best friend. Everyone widened their eyes as they realized they had no idea where the Moon Duelist was. However, Taiki then spotted something flying in the sky. "Up there!" The gymnastic boy called out as he pointed up to the sky with his left hand, getting everyone, including Astral and Enna to look up and saw Luna, with Orbital 8 in glider mode attached to her back, flying in the air above them.
"So that's her…" Tori whispered as she stared at Luna's expressionless face and couldn't help a shiver. Rio and Luna made eye contact for a moment, before the Moon Duelist began flying away, leaving everyone watching her fly away. "Luna… I'm not giving up on you". Rio declared as she took a step forward, still determined to get Luna back in her life like so long ago.
Eventually, Luna and Orbital 8 disappeared from view, leaving the gang staring up at the night sky. "We will see her again". Astral told his companions, floating besides his partner on Yuma's right. "We'll be ready for that day". The Syllables Duelist stated, cracking his knuckles a bit. "Today has been an exhausting day, but we still have one last thing to do before we can rest". Enna told the group as she brought her hands up in front of her, getting Yuma, Rio and Astral to look at her.
A blue sphere rose up from within her hands and floated above her palms. Enna grew a small smile, before she turned to look at her confused looking partner. "We still need to return your brother's soul to him". The silver haired woman reminded her partner, making Rio grow an instant smile on her face.
Meanwhile with Luna and Orbital 8, the Moon Duelist continued to fly through the night sky with a small frown on her face. Orbital 8 was silent as she tried to think of a good way to start a conversation with her mistress. "M-Mistress…" The female robot began, getting Luna's attention as she looked over her left shoulder to look up at her robot companion. "I'm… sorry that I couldn't stop them". Orbital 8 apologized to her mistress, making Luna give her partner a small, but comforting smile. "Don't worry about it. You acted on your own free will and did what you thought was right, that's what matters". The Moon Duelist told her robot companion with a soft voice, lifting the female robot's spirit.
Luna then looked forward with a smile. "And don't worry. We'll go back to retrieve Orbital 5 and 6 as soon as we can". The Moon Duelist reassured her robot companion, lifting her spirit even more than before. "Thank you Mistress". The pink robot thanked her creator with a grateful voice. The two continued to soar through the night sky towards their home, both exhausted from the long, tiring day.
(Later at Heartland Hospital)
Not too long later, Yuma and Rio walked into Shark's hospital room and saw both Kairi and Mr. Kay sitting down on two chairs, watching the unconscious Water Duelist. Astral and Enna were floating behind their partners, holding each other's hands. It has been an hour since the warehouse was destroyed, and Yuma, Rio, Astral and Enna set out to the hospital to return Shark's soul. Tori, Bronk, Caswell, Taiki and Cat all returned to their homes to rest, having been told by the couple that they can handle the rest.
Mr. Kay and Kairi turned around upon hearing the door open, before they both smiled at seeing it was Yuma and Rio. "I'm glad to see you two are alright". Mr. Kay said with a smile, glad to see his students safe and sound. "Thanks for helping us Mr. Kay. I'm not too sure we could have done it without you". Yuma thanked his classroom teacher with a smile, while Rio walked up to her daughter and picked her up.
The little 5-year-old girl looked at both Astral and Enna, before she gave them a wave with her right hand, which the married couple returned to her. "Did you guys manage to get Shark's soul back?" Mr. Kay questioned his students, getting Rio's attention as she turned to look at him, while keeping Kairi in her hands. "Everything will be alright now. Reginald will wake up soon". The Ice Queen told her former classroom teacher, getting Mr. Kay to smile at her, before he rose up from his seat.
"Since you're back, I'll be going now". The Machine-Type Duelist stated as he began walking to the door, before he stopped and looked over his left shoulder to look at his students. "Don't stay for too long. You're gonna need your rest". Mr. Kay told his students, before he fully left the room, leaving Yuma, Rio, Kairi, Astral, Enna and the unconscious Shark alone in the room.
Astral turned to look at his wife and gave her a serious expression. "Enna, are you ready?" He questioned his wife, getting Enna to turn to face him, before she gave a nod. "I am". The silver haired woman replied to her husband, before she floated down to the ground and walked over to the left side of Shark's bed. She brought her hands up together, before the blue sphere appeared from her palms. The blue sphere flew from Enna's hands towards Shark's chest, before it went inside of him, returning his soul safely.
Rio handed Kairi over to Yuma, before she walked up to her brother's bed and looked down at his unconscious face in concern. At first, there were no changes to Shark, but he then groaned as he slowly opened his eyes and saw his sister's concerned face. "Hey". Shark greeted his sister with a small smile, making everyone smile in relief to see that he was back. "Reginald!" Rio exclaimed in relief as Shark sat up on the bed and gave his sister a small look of guilt.
"Sorry, Rio. I must have scared you". Shark apologized to his sister as Rio shed a few tears of joy, happy to have her brother back. "You really did! I'm just glad you're alright". The Ice Queen said in relief, getting Shark to smile, before he gave her a small rub on the head with his left hand. Shark then turned his attention to Yuma, Kairi, Astral and Enna. "Thanks, Yuma. Looks like I owe you one again". The Water Duelist thanked his rival, getting the Syllables Duelist to smile at him.
"If you owe anyone anything, it's Rio. It's because of her that we managed to get your soul back". Yuma told his rival, getting Shark to look back at his sister, who looked a little embarrassed. However, her expression then fell into one of sadness, getting everyone concerned for her. "Mommy, is something wrong?" Kairi questioned her mother in concern, getting Rio to look at her with a small sad smile, before she turned to look at her brother.
"I'm sorry Reginald, but I couldn't bring Luna back". The Ice Queen apologized to her brother, getting Shark to soften his gaze as he realized why she looked sad. He placed his left hand on Rio's right shoulder, getting the Ice Queen to lift her head with a confused look. "Don't worry about that. Alone, we might not be able to reach her, but if we do it together, we'll get her back". Shark told his sister with a reassuring smile, making Rio widen her eyes in surprise at her brother's words, before she grew her own smile.
Shark then took his left hand off his sister's shoulder, before he held it up in front of Rio's face and waved it at her, as if he was telling her to give him something. "Now, I believe you have some cards of mine". The Water Duelist said to his sister, getting Rio to giggle a bit at her brother. The Ice Queen brought out her deck with her left hand, before she began searching through it. Eventually, she found Number 47: Nightmare Shark, Number 37: Hope Woven Dragon Spider Shark and Number 101: Silent Honor ARK and held them up with her right hand.
"Here". Rio said as she handed her brother's cards over to him, who took his three cards and looked at them with a smile. Shark then turned to look outside the window and saw how late it was. "You guys should leave and go get some rest. It's getting late, plus…" Shark began, before he turned to look at Kairi and gave her a small grin. "A little girl like our little Kairi should be in bed, sleeping away". The Water Duelist added, getting Kairi to pount cutely at her uncle.
"I'm not little, I'm a big girl!" Kairi snapped in a cute way, waving her hands in the air and making everyone smile in amusement. "Whatever you say. Still, you guys have been through a lot and should rest. I'm not going anywhere for a while". Shark told his companions, receiving a look of agreement from Astral. "He's right. You'll both need your energy for later". Astral told Yuma and Rio, getting them to look up at him. "Ok, we'll be going now. Kairi, say goodnight to your uncle". The Ice Queen told her daughter, getting Kairi to nod to her as Yuma placed her back on the ground.
The 5-year-old walked over to the edge of the bed, before she looked up at her uncle and gave him a smile. "Goodnight uncle". The little girl said to her uncle, making Shark grow a smile at her, before he placed his right hand on her head and gave her a gentle pat. "Night kid". The Water Duelist replied to his niece, before he lifted his hand off her head.
"See ya later, Shark". Yuma bid farewell to his rival as he, Rio and Kairi headed towards the door. "Get a lot of rest, so you don't need to stay here for too long". The Ice Queen told her brother, before she, her boyfriend and their daughter left the room, leaving Shark all alone in his room.
Shark turned to look out the window at the night sky, before he saw the moon hanging in the sky above. His face fell as he thought about the girl that his heart longed for. "Luna…" Shark whispered in a longing voice, wishing he could see her again as soon as possible.
Meanwhile outside of the hospital, Yuma, Rio and Kairi were all walking besides each other with Astral and Enna floating above them. Kairi was walking in between Rio and Yuma, holding their hands with her own. "How did everything go? Was this Luna girl really that strong?" Kairi questioned her mother, looking up at the Ice Queen with a curios face. Rio grew a smile as she looked up at the sky above.
"Oh yes, very strong. Back in the past, she was way stronger than me". The Ice Queen told the younger female, making Kairi slightly widen her eyes in surprise. "She was? Wow. I wish I could meet her". Kairi said in awe, getting Rio and Yuma to look down at her with small smiles. "Maybe you'll get your chance eventually". Yuma said to his 'daughter', before he turned to look up at his girlfriend.
"So, are you heading back to your house?" The Syllables Duelist questioned his girlfriend, getting Rio to look up at him with a smile. "If it isn't too much trouble, could I spend the night at your house?" Rio asked her boyfriend, receiving a surprised look from him, before he gave her a smile. "Sure, no problem". The teenage boy replied to his girlfriend, honestly having no problem.
The Ice Queen smiled at her boyfriend's words, before she looked on ahead. Yuma, Rio and Kairi continued walking together to the Syllables Duelist's home, while Astral and Enna watched them from above. The Astral World married couple had smiles on their faces at seeing everything had returned to normal. Astral then turned his attention to his wife. "Enna let us return to the Emperor's Key. Our son is waiting for us". Astral told his wife, getting her to smile upon thinking about her beloved son.
"Yes. Let us go see our beloved Epifanio". The silver haired woman said in happiness, before both she and Astral disappeared, returning to the Emperor's Key to see their child.
(Meanwhile at Heartland Tower)
Kite was leaning his back against the hallway wall with his arms crossed and his eyes closed as he waited for his sister's return. He had received a message not too long ago from Luna, saying that she'll arrive soon, so he's been waiting in the hallway for the last 30 minutes patiently.
Eventually, the sound of footsteps broke the silence of the hallway, getting Kite to open his eyes and turn his head left, where he saw a slightly bruised Luna walking up to him, holding her left bicep with her right hand. "What happened to you?" Kite questioned his sister in concern as he pushed himself off the wall, getting the 14-year-old girl to smile at her beloved older brother. "Don't worry about me. I'm fine, just a little tired from rough housing with my old friends". The Moon Duelist answered her old brother, walking past him to head to her room.
Kite walked after his sister, before walking besides her. "Tell me everything that happened". Kite requested from his sister, getting Luna to look up at him. "Okay, but let's just head to my room first. It's gonna be a long story". The Moon Duelist told the Galaxy-Eyes Master, before she turned to look forward as they continued on to her room.
(Meanwhile with Yuma, Rio and Kairi)
In the Tsukumo household, the little family was all together in Yuma's room. All three of them were all together in Yuma's bed. Yuma and Rio were in each other's arms with their sleeping daughter, Kairi, protectively and lovingly held between them. Yuma was wearing the clothes that he always sleeps in, while the two girls were in different coloured nightgowns. Rio was wearing a blue coloured nightgown, while Kairi was wearing a white one.
Yuma and Kairi were fast asleep, while Rio was still awake, her mind still lingering about her encounter with her former best friend. 'Luna… I'll keep holding my hand out to you until you take it someday. This, I swear'. The Ice Queen said in her mind; determine to keep reaching out to the Moon Duelist.
Rio then turned her attention to her sleeping boyfriend and daughter, causing her to grow a happy smile at them. She then closed her eyes and allowed herself to fall into a peaceful slumber, happy to spend the night with her 'family'.
(Meanwhile inside the Emperor's Key)
Inside of the Emperor's Key, the Astral World family was finally together again. Astral and Enna were at the top of the airship, sitting at the edge with the silver haired beauty holding their wide awake and happy child in her hands. Epifanio laughed happily as he reached out towards Enna's face. "Mummy…" The little baby boy said with a happy voice, getting Enna and Astral to grow heartfelt smiles on their faces.
Astral then turned his attention to his beautiful wife and stared at her beauty for a few moments, before he found his voice. "I…thought that I almost lost you…" Astral said in a low voice, but Enna managed to hear it as she turned to face her husband. "Astral…" Enna said, touched by her husband's concern for her.
"My memories of our time together may not have returned just yet, but my love for you has returned. That is why I was so afraid of losing you. I can't imagine my life without you". Astral confessed to his wife with a gentle voice full of love directed at Enna, making her shed tears of joy at her husband's words. The silver haired woman brought her right hand up and laid it on Astral's face.
"My love… my heart leaps with joy at your words. I know that many battles await, but with you, Rio, Yuma and our son by my side, I know that we can overcome any obstacle together. I'll be by your side, forever". Enna told her husband, before she brought him into a loving kiss, one that Astral returned with passion.
After a few moments, the two broke their kiss, but continued to gaze lovingly into each other's eyes. Their son's cries caught their attention as they looked down and saw Epifanio laughing and looking happily at his parents, getting both Astral and Enna to smile lovingly at their child. The Astral World family spent the rest of that night together, happy to be completely again.
(Ending song. Play Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal My Quest)
In a bright orange red world, Yuma's headset flew around, before stopping in front of the screen. Particles came together behind the headset, forming into Yuma with his Duel-Eye Tattoo activated, before the headset shot out and attached itself to its owner. The screen zoomed in, before it changed to show Yuma running through an unknown path.
"Today's test is hard. I can't divide myself from pleasure and temptation."
"I wanna watch TV when I get home. The recent anime are fun."
In a blue world of sorts, Yuma was running with his Duel Disk, headset and Duel-Eye Tattoo attached and activated, along with Astral floating besides his partner. Rio and Enna were watching the two from the right as they continued onward.
The screen then changed to show both the Emperor's Key and Empress's Key flying around in a green world, spinning around a bit, before eventually stopping and floating in the air.
"In any case, this test is hard. Geography, Math and English are especially bad."
"I'm only average at sciences and social studies. The only thing I'm good at is P.E."
It changed to show Rio now running in the blue world with Enna floating besides her. Yuma and Astral were now the ones watching them run through the blue world.
"(Wait up, BABY!) For who's sake."
(That's it, BABY!) Was I remembering."
(Just hold on, BABY!) The answer."
(What are we!? BABY!) They wanted."
The background showed Yuma grappling his chest with his right hand with his eyes shut, before Yuma's new Duel Disk appeared in front of him. Then, Yuma's headset appeared above the advanced Duel Disk, before Rio's Duel Disk and D-Pad combined appeared besides them. The Duel Disk and D-Pad then separated, before turning into blue flashes that came together to form the combined form of the two devices once more, before it dispersed.
"Even if I write the correct answer on this paper,"
"In one year, in ten years, will anything change?"
In a pink world, Rio appeared, looking with a distressed look on her face, before she dispersed into blue particles. Tori then appeared wearing a dress, looking worried before she turned around and dispersed into pink particles. Finally, Luna appeared, facing standing to the left and was facing the right direction. The Moon Duelist closed her eyes in sadness as she shed a single tear, before she dispersed into white particles as well.
"In the world I drew in the corner of my dreams,"
"One day I will race through the open sky."
"No one can blame this heart of mine."
"Nothing is really correct!"
The screen then changed to show both Yuma and Rio standing besides with the Syllables Duelist having his Duel-Eye Tattoo and headset on, while Rio had her Duel-Gazer on. The two then swiped their right hands up, revealing to be holding Number 39: Utopia and Number 21: Frozen Lady Justice's cards. Astral and Enna then flew up from behind their partners, before flying past them, the world changing around them.
The world changed to Heartland City. Rio appeared in Heartland Park in complete duel gear, drawing a card from her slotted in deck with her right hand in a dramatic fashion. Shark then appeared in Heartland Part not too far away, looking over to the left with his hands in his pockets.
In the sky above Heartland, Number 21: Frozen Lady Justice and Number 37: Hope Woven Dragon Spider Shark charged towards each other, before they clashed. Spider Shark's mouth was shut on Frozen Lady Justice's sword, who was using it to him from taking a bite out of her, but the two Xyz Monsters' eyes were locked on each other.
In another district of Heart, Astral and Enna were flying in the air besides each other, before Bronk skated by on his skateboard. In another district, Tori, in her school uniform, gave the peace sign with her left hand. In another section of Heartland City, Yuma, in Duel gear, was holding his left hand out and his right hand up in the air, holding a single card in a dramatic pose. Finally, Dr. Faker appeared over the city with his hands spread out over it with a devious grin on his face.
The screen then changed to show an unknown world, where Yuma, Rio, Astral and Enna were together. Yuma and Rio were sitting down on two separate thrones that were designed after the Emperor's Key and Empress's Key besides each other. Yuma was leaning forward, while Rio was leaning her back against her throne with her hands resting on the armrests. Astral was floating besides Yuma's throne on the right with his back to it and his arms crossed. Enna was standing besides Rio's throne on the left with her back to it, but unlike Astral, her hands were folded behind her.
And done the longest chapter I've ever done, and yes, I know its a bit late for an opening and ending song, but I felt like this story deserved it. Now, as promised, I'll get to work on my Pokémon chapter next, but it will take a bit of time and who knows how many pages, but it will be done soon. Now, I want to tell you all something. I have a lot of stories and I'm not even finished with a few of them, but I want to do one last one.
This last story of mine is a Pokémon and Samurai Warriors crossover, and no, it isn't Pokémon Conquest. This story is where Ash goes to the Samurai Warriors world, becomes a warrior and a member of the Sanada clan and most of all, change fate itself. I hope you all support my decision to do this, but I will still do my Pokémon Rainbow Hero chapter first, I promise. For now, I'm going to bed to rest and regain my energy. Goodnight.
I'm feeling the flow!
