bopdog111: Well Yuto had used Rank-Up-Magics against Shark.
Ulrich362: True, technically two but one was used to attach an extra material to his powerful Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon. Though there are definitely several questions that need to be answered now... chief among them being who this Astral is and what a Number is.
bopdog111: And what's with the door at the beginning?
Ulrich362: True, hopefully we can find out here. Enjoy the chapter.
bopdog111: Oh but one small message here.
Ulrich362: What's that Bopdog?
bopdog111: One of my old laptops finally gotten a new Hardrive, and now I'm trying to work back into it so if quality goes down I apologize.
Ulrich362: It's ok, I'm sure it'll be fine Bopdog... and even it it does briefly go down it won't be for long anyway.

It was a little after Yuto's duel with Shark and he was currently with Yuma, Lulu, and their friends to talk about what had happened.
"So where did you get that cad?" Yuma probably asked the most important question.
"I gave it to him." Lulu answered smiling. "I had a feeling it would help his deck."
"So Rank-Up-Magics evolve Xyz Monsters?" Bronk was quite curious about the spell.
"That's right, normally you need multiple monsters to Xyz Summon but with a Rank-Up-Magic spell you can evolve ones you already have on the field into more powerful ones." Yuto nodded smiling. "They're not super common and I'm lucky to have a few."
"I actually don't play any Rank-Up-Magic cards myself but I don't really need them either." Lulu smiled.
"What about Shay?" Tori can recall how really resourceful Shay is.
"My brother's mastered Rank-Up-Magic and is much better at it than Yuto is." Lulu answered before shuddering. "Especially if he uses that one."
"I didn't know you had a brother..." Yuma admitted over with crossed arms.
"I mentioned him before Yuma." Lulu pointed out before frowning. "But... actually there was something else during that duel. What was that card Shark played?"
"That is a Number." Astral suddenly bought up above Yuma surprising the young man. "A card linked to my memories."
"Your memories?" Yuto asked hearing that only to notice the others except Yuma and Lulu staring at him like he was insane. "You can't see him... the floating blue person above Yuma's head?"
"No we thought Yuma was talking to himself." Bronk answered.
Yuma took offense towards this pointing at Astral. "I'm not talking to my self he's right here! You can't miss him!"
"Yuma, there's nobody there." Tori pointed out. "I think you and Yuto might be a bit stressed after that duel and are seeing things."
"Maybe Tori's right." Lulu agreed despite looking at Astral directly. "The strange new monster Shark played and seeing Yuto's dragon might have been a bit much for you Yuma... you're probably just tired."
"What! I'm not tired! I'm not the one to duel Shark!" Yuma didn't get what Lulu's doing arguing more.
"You've never gotten so invested in a duel you get tired even if you're not the one dueling?" Lulu asked him.
"I know what I'm seeing, and Yuto seen him too!"
"Yuto?" Bronk turned over towards Yuto. "Do you see Astral?"
"Well... yeah, there's someone there." Yuto answered. "He showed up when Shark attacked me with that Number he played. Leviathan Dragon."
"As I said before that card is a Number linked to my memories. For me to recover from my amnesia we have to recover all 99 Number Cards." Astral voiced over towards Yuto.
"99 of them? No way do it yourself!" Yuma snapped at Astral.
"I can't." Astral stated over towards him.
"What do you mean you can't?" Yuto asked hearing that.
"I'm like... what you call it?" Astral tries to recall the word before remember. "A ghost. I can't act on the physical plane so I need someone with me to help me collect the Numbers."
"Well, I can try." Yuto offered.
"Thank you Yuto." Astral gave a small smile over in his direction.
"Well you can count me out! You can go find your cards however you want just stay out of my way!" Yuma turned away crossing his arms.
Yuto frowned at that as Bronk and Tori looked at him in confusion.
Later that night...
It was nearly dawn where someone in a lone tower was typing in codes on a computer as codes generated before the hacker typed something which makes the codes formed into a small kid for a bomb as a head. "Bug? Crashbug!"
"Hahahaha... time to go viral."
As the hacker did that electronics all throughout the city started glitching with traffic lights turning red and the cleaning bots starting to malfunction.
"Re-Initializing..." A Litterbot's eyes glowed red as it turned towards Haru who is carrying groceries walking by herself. "Trash identified."
Turning she smiled. "Oh what a nice..."
Suddenly the trashbot picked her up as she gasped while several other people were being picked up by other trash bots. "What's the meaning of this put me down at once!"
As this was happening up in the sky dozens of Crashbugs started to appear.
"Didn't I tell you to get lost already, Astral?"
Yuma, Yuto, Tori, Lulu, Bronk, and Astral were together down a street nearby to head back home, and Yuma is more then irritated about Astral which is why there having ANOTHER argument.
"You did, but I did not understand what you mean by that. How can one consciously get lost?" Astral is taking Yuma's words too seriously in that regard. "If I go somewhere, I will know where I am."
"It's a figure of speech! It means, 'beat it, leave, go away'!"
"I can't until you gather the numbers."
Hearing this Yuma snapped over at him. "What about Yuto!? Why do you have to be real close to me, and what do I have to do with your beeswax!?"
Yuto, Lulu, Tori, and Bronk were watching this before the latter sighed, "There goes Yuma having another argument with himself."
Yuto just sighed not wanting to get into it since he still thought it was kind of crazy to begin with.
"Maybe there really is an invisible duelist following him around." Tori suggested seeing that.
"I know you're not a dog, it's just an expression!" Yuma shouted as Bronk waved his hand in the air to try and feel Astral but wasn't able to. "Aw never mind, forget this!"
As he stormed off Tori and Bronk both looked concerned. "Or... maybe not. Maybe he just fell on his head."
Lulu and Yuto on the other hand exchanged a glance before following Yuma.
"Observation Number 2: When asked to do something, humans behave erratically." Astral remarked which annoyed Yuma again.
"Stop using big words!" Yuma turned over to him looking very annoyed.
They suddenly heard a scream from Yuma's house. Yuma's eyes widened turning to the house. "That sounded like my sister."
Inside a woman was staring in horror at several monitors that all were displaying the word error as the group ran into the room.
"What's going on Kari?" Yuma asked nervously.
"My research... my transcripts... my big scoop!" Kari answered staring at the screens. "Some kind of bug just wiped out my computer."
"Ok let's try to stay calm." Yuma suggested from the doorway.
"My deadline is tomorrow..."
Absolutely knowing what's happening next from the way she said that, and from slumping a really fearful Yuma moved to run. "Mount Kari's about to blow!"
"We might wanna get outta here."
They all quickly nodded in agreement from how scary Kari can be turning to run out which they quickly done so.
"HEY YUMA!" they heard Kari shouting, "GO FIND ME A NEW SCOOP OR ELSE!"
Yuma sighed as the group stood at a crosswalk. "How does Kari expect me to find her a scoop?"
"I don't know... maybe something about these traffic lights?" Lulu suggested pointing out that all the lights looked to be red. "That's... definitely not normal."
"Yeah the monorails not moving..." Tori admitted over seeing everything is not moving. "Something is going on."
"Do you guys hear that?" Looking over Yuma notices a drink machine spewing out drinks from an error machine. "Hey check it out! The vending machine's tossing out juices all by itself!" He moved trying to grab as many in his arms.
"Wait a second Yuma! You can't take those, you didn't pay for them!" Tori snapped at him as he rose up showing very full arms of snacks.
"Trash Identified. Trash Identified." a Litterbot picked Yuma up startling him dropping the drinks before stuffing him into it's chassis full of trash while Astral stares on interested upside down.
"Gah! Get me out of here!" Taking a sniff he grimaced in the robot. "Aww, what is that smell?"
Later Kari was at her house watching a news report on the situation.
"Alyssa Brianna filed this report regarding the sweeping..." the reporter stated as images of all the electronic glitches around the city only for Kari to turn it off.
"I don't want to hear about anyone filing reports." she pouted as meanwhile Yuma clapped his hands together with a smile.
"Thanks for the grub grandma."
"Why did my computer trash my report?" Kari groaned with her head on the table.
"Speaking of trash, one of those Litterbots scooped me up today."
"The same thing happened to me."
"Wait, wait. What?" Kari asked looking up with tearful eyes.
Yuma explained picking up his bowl of rice. "Downtown was crazy today. Traffic lights were wonky, the monorails got stuck, vending machines were just spitting out juices."
"The radio said everything's back to normal now." Haru smiled to them.
"So wait, I'm not the only one whose computer got wiped out?" Kari sat up looking determined by something.
"Guess not." Yuma answered to her shrugging.
"Something stinks." Both the other two Tsukumos blink from what Kari said smelling each other which Kari clarified, "Not you two! I smell a good story brewing! I've gotta replenish my energy and get cracking!"
Noticing she was holding a fish Yuma quickly looked seeing his fish is gone before whining to Kari, "Hey! That's mine!"
Ignoring him Kari just started eating the fish.
"Hey sis... um sis..." Yuma tried to say only for her to just eat the entire thing. "Hey!"
"Gotta go!" Kari mentioned before running off quickly causing Yuma to angrily start eating what was left of his meal.
Meanwhile...
Lulu was sitting at her own table along with a young man with blueish black hair and yellow eyes. "The bug affected the entire city? Do you have any idea what caused it Shay?"
"We're trying to figure out." the figure, Shay, her older brother was busy on his computer not turning over to her with an energy drink on his desk. "This guy is good though we can't find a lead."
"Do you think whoever did this will try something again?" Lulu asked despite frowning at Shay only having an energy drink.
"That is something we are predicting he will do in the near future. And this time we will be ready." Shay answered over while continuing to type.
Lulu just nodded uncertainly. 'Could this be related to Astral... just who is he?'
The next day...
"Ah made it!" Yuma sighed in his seat as 'Error' was on everyone's screens with Tori, Yuto, Lulu, and Bronk in the same class.
"So I know we were going to spend today's class discussing the quadratic equation and I know you were all looking forward to that, but unfortunately, due to yesterday's system hiccup, our systems are offline." the teacher which is a glasses brown haired man mentioned, "Extra Credit for anyone who can find the source of that and-"
"Um, excuse me Mr. Kay, I can take this one!" a blue haired boy with a bang grinned walking to the front of the class.
Mr. Kay admitted, "You know I was being sarcastic, right Caswell?"
Turning to the class Caswell smiled more. "Ok, pay attention simpletons because some of this might go over your heads. Yesterday's incident was the result of a virus planted in the city's grid system by a hacker. But in the end by pinging several..."
"Hey since we can't talk about math stuff, let's have a duel tournament!" Yuma interrupted with a grin.
"Well, that's not on the curriculum." Mr. Kay mentioned looking down only to look up with a grin. "But sure, why not?"
"Haha, alright Mr. Kay!" Yuma grinned jumping out of his seat in excitement, "I'm feeling the flow!"
Just like him everyone was excited, and cheering to be out of schoolwork for now from this but Caswell wasn't as pleased as the class. "That uppity upstart stole my spotlight. That does it!" He pointed over towards Yuma issuing a challenge. "Yuma, I challenge you to a duel here, and now!"
"Alright, get set to get decked!" Yuma replied grinning. "Duel Disk go! Duel Gazer, let's roll!"
"Duel interface set!" Yuma and Caswell called together as Yuto looked uncertainly at the match. 'I have a bad feeling about this.'
"Augmented reality vision link established." a robotic voice said as the rest of the class put their Duel Gazers on to watch.
"Let's do this." Caswell and Yuma called drawing their cards.
"Show him what you're made of Yuma." Tori cheered.
"What are you made of, Yuma?" Caswell questioned with a raised eyebrow. "I heard the other day that one of your new friends beat Shark. Does that mean your possibly better now?"
"I'm always better!" Yuma snapped to him, "But you heard the truth!"
"I don't believe you." Caswell stated bluntly, "The friend beating Shark maybe but you grown stronger, no way. Everyone knows there is always a best duelist, and a worst duelist. Shark is the best while your the worst."
"Well it's true Caswell. In fact that friend is right beside me right now!" Tori smiled patting Yuto's back a couple of times with not too much force.
"I think I got lucky." Yuto admitted.
"Whatever happened in that much, I don't care but I do care that there's no way you can improve!" Caswell told Yuma, "I will beat you down, and show you your place as the worst duelist in this school!"
"Not gonna happen cause I got an awesome Number Car-" he froze when looked at his Extra Deck box seeing it's empty, "Where'd my Number Card go? I had it this morning!"
Yuto's eyes widened hearing that. 'Yuma has one too!?"
"What's the matter, are you feeling the pressure already?" Caswell questioned drawing his card.
"Wait a second just hang on, I'm not ready!" Yuma cried desperately.
Later...
"I summon Crashbug X!" Caswell called as a small kid with a bomb as a head appeared before charging, "Now zap his Life Points!"
Yuma was zapped crying out landing hard.
Yuma: 0000
Caswell: 4000
Winner Caswell.
The match had let the Yuto, and Lulu know just how bad of a duelist Yuma was.
"What happened?" Yuto asked from the ground as Bronk covered his face.
"That was embarrassing." he groaned.
"You can say that again." Tori agreed staring at Yuma on his back who had failed to deal any damage at all to Caswell.
"Hah! I bested you in one move!" Caswell grinned as the field vanished, "You never had a chance. In the end, there was no way an intellectually challenged amateur like you could defeat a brilliant strategist such as myself."
"What did you call me!?" Yuma asked offended.
"There's no need to boast, Caswell." Mr. Kay said as they looked to him, "Dueling is actually a lot like life. Sometimes things go as we planned. Other times, we make mistakes and we get frustrated. When that happens, you just had to feed your frustrations to Crashbug."
Taking a card from Caswell's Duel Disk he shows the class a Dark Attribute, Level 1 Normal Fiend Monster card of a kid that has a lightbulb shaped head that has 100 attack, and defense points.
"You guys know the legend behind Crashbug right?" he asked the class. "Crashbug's this little electrical spirit who likes to zap what he calls bugs. Bugs are those feelings that get in our way. Frustration, doubt, give those bugs to Crashbug and you'll move past them and succeed."
"That's ridiculous Mr. Kay!" Caswell argued. "Crashbug doesn't actually exist."
"Of course it exists." Mr. Kay replied with a smile. "I've seen it."
Lulu however frowned slightly. 'An electrical spirit that eats bugs? Or a bug itself?'
"So what if you lost, Yuma? The trick is to not let the frustration get to you. Learn from your mistakes and keep moving forward. Keep challenging yourself."
"You got it Mr. Kay! I'm gonna keep at it!" Yuma said hitting his chest with a fist, "That's what feeling the flow is all about."
Mr. Kay chuckled at this.
Later after school Yuma was smiling as he was walking with Tori, Bronk, Yuto, and Lulu.
"Isn't Mr. Kay the coolest?" Yuma grinned. "Not only is he the awesomest, smartest math whiz I ever met, but he's super nice too. I want to be just like him when I grow up!"
Suddenly the group heard a car horn as they turned to see Kari driving up next to them as she popped her head out of the window with glasses on.
"Hey doofus, what's up?" she asked.
"What do you want?" Yuma questioned knowing she needed something.
"Hop in the car, let's go for a drive." Kari mentioned lowering her glasses.
They all got in the car all together as Kari driven them all somewhere. "It's a good thing yesterday's virus attack only spread to a few remote servers."
"And if it gets more?" Lulu asked her.
"The entire city would've been thrown into chaos." Kari answered shocking them. "Forget about traffic lights and litter bots. Bank data would've vanished, people would've lost their money, hospitals would've lost medical records, and the ability to help people. It would've been a disaster!"
"Wow, are you serious?" Yuma asked in shock hearing that.
"Who would do such a terrible thing?" Tori asked nervously.
"I have no idea, but I do know that the virus was transmitted from your school library." Kari replied.
"The library, from our school?" Yuto questioned hearing that. "Are you sure?"
"Yeah, so here's what we're gonna do." Kari explained as she drove towards the school. "I'm gonna chase a few more leads, while you guys are going to stake out the library."
"A stakeout sounds so exciting." Tori said over excited from this.
"Why did I get hungry when you said that?"
"Your always hungry." Kari bluntly pointed out towards her brother. "But don't let your appetite distract you. I wanna track this hacker down, and make him pay for deleting my big scoop!" She drove off at this.
Lulu swallowed nervously. "Yuma... your sister is intense."
"Gee ya think?" Yuma asked sarcastically before they head to the library, "Now we gotta spend the next boring hours finding who is transmitting it."
"It won't be that bad." Yuto suggested. "Plus, we can do our homework while we wait right guys?"
Yuma groaned holding his head. "Please any mentions of homework keep OUT of my head! I don't want to do anything boring while we're already doing something boring!" Which Lulu won't be allowing as a typical sister figure for Yuma.
"Yuma..." Lulu glared at him. "How much homework do you have to do?"
"Knowing him probably has 20 assignments."
Yuma snapped over to Tori. "Hey I do my work... eventually. Dueling is just more important if I want to be the duelist I need to be!"
"Well, we're not dueling now so we can catch you up on your work." Lulu told him causing Yuma to groan.
As time passed the group kept their eyes open while making sure Yuma was getting his work done. Yuto, and Tori were watching on while Yuma, and Lulu focus on there homework while they try keeping Yuma's complaining quiet to not scare off who is transmitting the virus, and won't get a chance like this again.
"So bored... are we done yet?" Yuma complained over again not even halfway through what he has now.
"No, we're not." Lulu answered before sighing. "But the library is going to close soon... so we'll have to finish tomorrow."
Tori then notices something seeing it's Caswell looking around before getting on a computer, and pulling out a flashdrive.
"Huh, Caswell?" Tori asked seeing him.
Caswell plugged the flashdrive only for it launch something like Crashbug as he jumped up startled, "I-I didn't mean to launch anything!"
"Caught you red-handed!" Yuma cried grabbing Caswell's shoulders. "Now tell us why you did it you criminal low-life!"
"Unhand me!" Caswell said breaking out of Yuma's grip as he started typing on the computer. "I'm not behind this, I'm being used."
"Don't try to lie!" Yuma cried.
"I don't think he's lying Yuma." Yuto admitted. "If he was behind it he wouldn't jump like that when... whatever just happened happened."
"Look, in the end, I found an encrypted file packet that led me to believe I could access a file on this computer to learn who the criminal is, but it turns out the file was a detonator for some sort of computer virus and now it's-" Caswell said typing in only to see something, "Wait, I'm on to something!"
A red line trailed down before stopping at the bottom of the computer screen with a code: 1001246.
"There's our location!" Caswell cried at this, "At where the criminal is!"
"Your friend triggered a countdown!?" Kari cried as Yuma and the others were running to the location of the criminal.
"We sent you the access stuff, try to stop it." Yuma explained.
"But it could be dangerous!"
"Don't worry sis, I'll be fine! I think..."
Arriving at a Tower under construction they ran for an entrance while Caswell called over. "That tower under construction! The hacker should be in here!"
They ran in walking around while looking around.
"Maybe you were wrong about this place, Caswell?"
"In the end, have I ever been wrong?" A metallic door closed behind them as they entered a room where a voice said, "You finally put the pieces together."
"Took you a lot longer than I thought it would."
"Mr. Kay?" Yuma asked in shock seeing their teacher standing there.
"I had a feeling, you're the one who hacked into the city aren't you?" Lulu asked stepping forward.
"That's one way to put it." Mr. Kay smirked as the room light up of holographic screens of a countdown of 30 minutes.
"But, but I was saying earlier how awesome you are, Mr. Kay." Yuma said in shock, "I think I even said I wanted to be like you when I grow up."
"Hhmph. Someone like you could never be like me." Mr. Kay smirked to him.
"I have to say sir, this is disappointing." Caswell told him.
Mr. Kay only brushed it off saying, "Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you Caswell. Especially since I'm so proud of you for follow my clues. I wanted you all to be here when the virus went well, viral."
Caswell asked nervous, "Are you saying you lead us here on purpose?"
Mr. Kay take off his glasses before laughing revealing on his neck was a mark: 34.
"He is under the control of a Number." Astral realized appearing beside Yuto.
'Just like Shark before.' Yuto frowned as he moved to take a step forward only for Lulu to do it instead.
Yuma however jumped from Astral's sudden entrance. "Aaah! I thought you went back to Saturn or something!"
"You were incorrect."
"So then where have you been? Where have you come from just now? What are you!?"
Caswell blinked from never seeing Yuma arguing with Astral since it looked as though Yuma was arguing at nothing before he turned to the three with him. "Uh... why is Yuma talking to himself like that?"
"Just ignore him." Yuto mentioned while frowning. "We have more important things to worry about, like stopping Mr. Kay from letting loose that virus of his."
Astral floated over beside Lulu. "I know you can interact with me young lady. Listen you must duel this man. The only way to reason with him is break the Number's hold over his soul."
"Like before with Shark." Lulu nodded. "Alright, but just like Yuto leave the dueling to me. Mr. Kay, I challenge you to a duel, and if I win you'll shut down this virus."
"You want to Duel me!?" Mr. Kay is coated in a purple aura as he smirked over. "Well I'll be more then happy to agree to your conditions Lulu! But what makes you think you can defeat me? Well?"
"You'll have to wait and see." Lulu replied putting on her Duel Gazer and activating her Duel Disk. "You can go first Mr. Kay."
"Alright Lulu! Get ready to feel the flow!" Yuma grinned.
"Duel Interface Set. Augmented Realty Vision Link Established." a computer said as everyone's gazers glowed.
"LET'S DUEL!" both teacher, and student declared.

"Get him Lulu!" Yuma cheered on.
Caswell clasped his hands, "Lulu has to win, or else I'll go down like some sort of criminal!"
Mr. Kay 1st Turn:
"Okay, I draw!" Mr. Kay called starting the turn. "And to start I summon a monster face-down!"
A set monster appeared.
"Ah great then we don't know what she's facing!" Yuma grunted.
"Then find out." Mr. Kay smirked setting a card ending his turn.

"Lulu's signature." Yuto smiled seeing this.
"The question is, will they be enough?" Astral looks interested at this.
'I'll keep Recital Starling's ability to myself at least for now.' Lulu thought. "Now, since I have two Winged-Beast Xyz Monsters on the field I can attack Recital Starling and all her Overlay Units to Lyrilusc - Assembled Nightingale."

"Now, Assembled Nightingale can attack your life points directly!"
"Huh? Hey you can't do that! It's common sense that to attack directly your opponent must not have any monsters in play!" Yuma protested from this.
"It's Assembled Nightingale's ability Yuma." Lulu told him.
"Yes Nightingale can attack directly."
From Yuto's confirmation Assembled Nightingale charged forward tackling Mr. Kay who cried out. (Mr. Kay: 2600/Hand: 3)
"Your messing with my perfection." Mr. Kay growled before smirking, "But fear not cause I activate Damage Vaccine Ω MAX!"
Damage Vaccine Ω MAX
Normal Trap Card
When you take damage by battle or by a card effect: Gain Life Points equal to the damage you took.
"Since you just dealt damage, I regain Life Points equal to the amount I just lost." Mr. Kay smirked as a light shined on him. (Mr. Kay: 4000/Hand: 3)
"You mean her direct attack didn't do anything?" Yuma cried in shock only for Lulu to smile.
"Assembled Nightingale attack Mr. Kay directly again!" she called.
"Wait it can attack again?" Caswell looked shocked from this.
"That's right, Assemnbled Nightingale doesn't just get 200 attack points for every Overlay Unit she has, but she gets an extra direct attack too." Lulu revealed smiling. "That means six attacks with 1400 attack points thanks to the extra 200 from Beryl Canary. Still think my monsters aren't up to the task Yuma?"
"Uh..." Yuma didn't say anything else.
Mr. kay himself looked shocked. "What!?"
"Assembled Nightingale attack!" Lulu called.
The monster charged attacking Mr. Kay who screamed losing instantly.
Lulu: 4000
Hand: 1
Field: Lyrilusc - Assembled Nightingale (Attack Position/Gains effect from Lyirlusc - Beryl Canary/Gains effect from Lyrilusc - Cobalt Sparrow/ATK: 1400/ORU: 6), Lyrilusc - Bird Sanctuary (face-up), One Set Card

Lulu wins!
"You did it Lulu! Wahoo!" Yuma cheered jumping up.
Astral meanwhile stretched his hand as a card exited while the mark shattered as he took the card looking at it.
"Not doubting me anymore Yuma?" Lulu asked him.
"No not anymore." Yuma shook his head no.
"So now you'll stop the virus right Mr. Kay?" Tori asked him.
Mr. Kay said however, "I can't, the virus doesn't have a deactivation code."
"What?" Yuto asked in shock.
"What do you mean, you have to stop it before people get hurt!" Yuma panicked.
"Too late!" Caswell panicked as they see the countdown.
3... 2... 1... 0.
"Virus activation complete." the computer stated as they tensed.
...
...
...
...
...
...But nothing's happening.
"Um... what's going on?" Yuma asked Mr. Kay.
"The virus didn't work the way you think." Mr. Kay smiled standing up before looking at the sky.
Curious they all looked up. In the sky was a giant version of the Normal Monster Crashbug that Caswell had smiling in the sky.
"I had brought Crashbug back since the lights wasn't enough to call it." Mr. Kay smiled before handing Crashbug's card, "Lulu read the flavor text of Crashbug out loud please."
Lulu blinked taking the card. "An electrical fairy that lives off of the other bugs. It becomes extremely powerful because it lives off its bug friends. It's said that those who witness its full moon-like appearance may forever live in happiness."
"And this was what I meant in class." Mr. Kay smiled turning back to Crashbug.
They all looked up at the Crashbug smiling at that.
bopdog111: A second number's been obtained.
Ulrich362: True, though before it could really do anything.
bopdog111: It was the first ever monster I Xyz Summoned in the real life gang.
Ulrich362: Well, hopefully it gets its opportunity to shine sooner rather than later. What's up next Bopdog?
bopdog111: Let's have a ZEXAL character be next to duel.
Ulrich362: Sounds good to me, see you in the next chapter.
