ÒLet’s Duel!Ó Yuma and Vector called out in unison as their Duel Discs displayed 4000 Life Points each and they both drew the top five Cards from their Decks.
Starting Scores:
Vector: 4000
Yuma: 4000
ÒThird time’s the charm. So I think I’ll go first.Ó Vector said, before he drew the top Card from his Deck and made his move.
ÒI Summon Umbral Horror Unform in Attack Mode!Ó (0/0) Vector announced as he placed the aforementioned Monster Card on his Duel Disc, causing shadows to form before Vector until they transformed into the fiendish Monster Vector had called upon.
ÒAnd with that I’ll end my turn.Ó Vector then said simply, confusing Yuma and Astral.
‘He played a Monster with no Attack or Defence Points and no Set Cards?’ Astral commented to himself in confusion, which caused Yuma to question out loud demandingly. ÒWhat are you up to, Vector?Ó
ÒThe both of you will see very soon. But I should warn you, you shouldn’t be worried about the Cards on my Field but the Cards I have in my hand.Ó Vector told Yuma and Astral in a wicked reply.
ÒThe same goes for you too. I draw!Ó Yuma yelled out as he drew the sixth Card from the top of his Deck and began his turn.
ÒI Summon Goblinbergh!Ó (1400/0) Yuma announced, before the Winner of the World Duel Carnival explained. ÒAnd thanks to his special ability, Goblinbergh can transport another Monster from my hand straight to the Field, so long as it has 4 Stars or less. And I choose Kagetokage!" (1100/1500)
It was then the trio of bi-plane flying goblins dropped a large steel container, which opened up, revealing the shadow-shifting lizard.
Now that the stage was set Yuma exclaimed. ÒAnd now it’s Overlay time! With these two Monsters I build the Overlay network. I Xyz Summon Number 39: Utopia!" (2500/2000)
It was then Kagetokage was engulfed in a dark purple light, while Goblinbergh was engulfed in a bright yellow light, before the pair shot off into the air, twisting around each other, as a portal opened up in front of Yuma, before both lights then shot into the portal, creating a massive explosion of energy as Yuma's signature Monster appeared on the Field.
ÒImpressive. But it’s going to take more than that to stop me!Ó Vector told Yuma in a wicked tone.
ÒWe’ll see about that. But for now I’ll just Destroy your Monster!Ó Yuma snapped back, before the black and red spiked haired teen commanded in a determined tone. ÒGo, Utopia and Attack Umbral Horror Unform with Rising Sun Slash!Ó
Doing as Yuma had commanded, Utopia drew the blade from his right sheath and sliced Umbral Horror Unform in half, throwing Vector back from the blast and knocking him to the ground as he was struck with 2500 Points of Damage.
ÒWhat do you think of that, Vector?Ó Yuma asked mockingly, however, he and Astral were confused yet again as Vector got to his feet and began to let out another wicked laugh.
ÒWhat’s so funny?Ó Yuma questioned.
ÒWhat’s funny is how foolish you are. Thank you, Yuma for your assistance. You’ve fallen right into my trap!Ó Vector replied, which caused Yuma to question further. ÒWhat are you talking about?Ó
ÒWhen Umbral Horror Unform is Destroyed, I’m allowed to Summon two Umbral Horror Unform copies from my Deck in its place. So thank you Yuma.Ó Vector explained as the shadows that were once Umbral Horror Unform began to mould and reshape until there were two Umbral Horror Monsters on Vector’s side of the Field.
Seeing that he had been tricked yet again by Vector and his deceptive ways caused Yuma to let out a small groan of frustration as the Number Hunter could tell that Vector would try to Xyz Summon Number 104: Masquerade (2700/1200) and possibly Masquerade’s Chaos form next turn, in which Yuma then said. ÒI play one Card face-down and end my turn.Ó
Current Scores:
Vector: 1500
Yuma: 4000
ÒI activate Monster Reborn. So now my third Umbral Horror Unform will be welcomed back from the Graveyard with open arms!Ó Vector announced as the magic of Monster Reborn caused Vector’s first Umbral Horror Unform to arise from the Graveyard and appear in the centre of the other two Umbral Horror Monsters.
ÒThis is not good.Ó Astral stated in a worried tone.
ÒYou’ve got that right, Astral. Because I now Overlay all three of my Umbral Horror Unforms! With these three Monsters I build the Overlay Network! I Xyz Summon Number 104: Masquerade!Ó Vector exclaimed in a mixture of fury and insanity as all three of Vector’s Umbral Horror Monsters were engulfed in lights of dark purple, before the darkness shot off into the air, twisting around one another, as another portal opened up, only this time in front of Vector, before the forms of dark energy then shot into the portal, creating a massive explosion of energy as Number 104: Masquerade appeared before his Summoner.
ÒNow, feel my wrath, Yuma!Ó Vector exclaimed wickedly, before he commanded. ÒMasquerade, Attack and Destroy Utopia!Ó
Quick to act and save Utopia, Yuma announced. ÒNot so fast, Vector! I activate the Xyz Weight Trap Card! Now Masquerade loses 800 Attack Points for everyone of its Overlay units!Ó
It was then Masquerade’s Overlay units transformed into chains and Vector’s Monster’s Attack power was greatly reduced. (2700_300)
However, Vector suddenly called out. ÒFool! I activate the Spell Card: Trap Booster! By discarding one Card from my hand I can activate any Trap Card from my hand!Ó
ÒWhat!?Ó Yuma questioned in shock and disbelief.
ÒI told you to beware the Cards in my hand because I now activate my Trap Card: Nightmare Chains!Ó Vector exclaimed manically as he placed the Trap Card in his Duel Disc, causing the chains around Masquerade to break apart, only to then ensnare around Utopia as a stone slab arose behind Yuma’s ace Monster, binding him to the wall.
ÒUtopia!Ó Yuma called out in concern for his Monster, before the black and red spiked haired teen yelled out. ÒWhat have you done!?Ó
ÒSimple. With the power of my Nightmare Chains I was able to rid my Monster of your pitiful Trap Card, and there’s more. I can select any Monster on the Field and trap it. Preventing Utopia from Attacking me or protecting you!Ó Vector explained, amused by his antics and the predicament of torment Yuma was in, before he then commanded. ÒNow, let’s try that a second time. Masquerade, Attack again, only this time your target is Yuma directly!Ó
With the Nightmare Chains keeping Utopia restrained, Yuma was unable to defend himself against Masquerade, in which Masquerade threw one of the gold rings at Yuma, which grinded painfully against the Number Hunter’s chest, before he cried out in pain as he fell to the floor.
ÒA good time to end my turn, but not before one last surprise.Ó Vector said, before he placed a Spell Card within the first slot of his Spell/Trap Card zone on his Duel Disc and then went on by saying. ÒI activate my Exchange Spell. Now each of us select a Card in our opponent’s hand and select one to use.Ó
Having no choice, Yuma turned his Cards around for Vector to see, revealing he was holding a Spell Card and two Monsters, Double Bind, Rai Rider (1200/1400) and Traplin. (300/400)
It was then Vector tossed the only Card within his hand to Yuma, a dark red aura radiating around the Card as he caught it.
But before Yuma could see what Card he was given, a dark claw shot out from Vector’s Duel Disc, took Yuma’s Traplin Card and added it to Vector’s hand, ceasing their opportunity to free Utopia from Vector’s Trap Card.
Current Scores:
Vector: 1500
Yuma: 1300
ÒMy turn. I draw!Ó Yuma announced strongly as he drew the top Card from his Deck, hoping for a game changer, in which the Number Hunter looked to see he had drawn Kurivolt (300/200), causing him to state. ÒAlright, not the best Card. But it can help.Ó
ÒI play...Ó Yuma began to say, however, Vector suddenly interrupted, shouting out Yuma’s name, causing the Winner of the World Duel Carnival to stumble for a moment.
ÒAren’t you forgetting something?Ó Vector asked.
Yuma was confused as to what Vector was talking about, until Vector then said. ÒThe Card I gave you.Ó
ÒWhat Card?Ó Yuma asked himself, before it was then he remembered that Kurivolt wasn’t the only new Card added to his hand, in which the red spiked haired teen looked to the other Cards in his hand, causing his eyes to widen in shock at the dangerous Card he was now wielding, Rank-Up-Magic Barian’s Force.
Seeing Yuma now possessed such an evil Card shocked Astral and caused him to question. ÒVector, what is the meaning of this?Ó
ÒI just want to give little old Yuma a fighting chance, that's all.Ó Vector replied in a wicked tone, before laughing in amusement, which caused Astral to then ask in confusion. ÒA fighting chance?Ó
ÒThat's right, if you don't believe me, just look at the Field!Ó Vector pointed out, before he explained. ÒUtopia's all chained up and unable to protect either of you while Masquerade is free to strike at Yuma's Life Points and finish you both off for good! And no Card in Yuma’s hand can help, meaning you've only got one option if you want to win... And we both know what that means, don't we?Ó
ÒStop this, Vector! The Yuma I know would never play a card like Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force!Ó Astral stated, but it was then Vector replied mockingly, referring to Rank-Up-Magic Limited Barian's Force. ÒOh, but he did, didn't he?Ó
Vector then asked curiously. ÒAlthough that Card was just a portion of the power of Barian, it was still a Barian Card. So how do you know he won't play the REAL Barian's Force?Ó And what about V-Salamander? Would the Yuma you know ever play that card, even if a friend of his had given it to him? A friend like Ray Shadows, perhaps?Ó
It was then Vector turned his attention back to Yuma and asked. ÒAnd speaking of friends, Yuma. What'll happen to your little friends if you lose? Have you ever thought about that problem? Or are they all just a secondary thought to you?Ó
Hearing that filled Yuma with anger and caused him to yell at Vector threateningly. ÒIf you dare lay a hand on any of them, I'm gonna...Ó
However, Yuma was interrupted when Vector suddenly called out. ÒYou're gonna what? C'mon, Yuma, tell me what will you do? Let's face it; you're in a very tight situation right now.Ó
ÒPoor Yuma Tsukumo. Utopia is helpless against Masquerade, plus I got a good look at your hand and none of those cards of yours can save you.Ó Vector explained, before he said. ÒSo, even if you Summon one of those pathetic little monsters in a desperate attempt to protect yourself, there's no way you can stop Masquerade without Ranking-Up Utopia. Or maybe you like to idea of him being chained and useless?Ó
‘He... He's right. Rai Rider and Kurivolt won't be able to stop his monster. And even if Utopia wasn’t caught in Vector’s Nightmare Chains I can't use Double Bind since Utopia's Attack hasn't dropped...’ Yuma thought to himself as he stared blankly at Vector’s Card, while doubt plagued and clouded his mind, causing a distant look to fill them. ‘But if I use Barian's Force, I have the chance to save everyone, but who knows what'll happen to me... or to Astral...’
ÒWell, Yuma, I'm waiting. What're you going to do? Have me finish you off and move onto destroying all your friends, or play my gift and at least stand some chance of winning?Ó Vector questioned mockingly, before he further mocked Yuma and stated. ÒEither way, I’m having a blast.Ó
ÒYuma, do not listen to him. We do not need to use that Card, there is always another way!Ó Astral told Yuma, hoping to get through to his friend.
However, it seemed as though Astral’s words were in vain when Yuma replied in a distant tone, as the combination of Barian’s Force, Astral’s life and the safety of his friends was taking it’s toll on the Number Hunter, further amusing Vector. ÓBut Astral... What about you...? If we lose, you'll disappear forever... The Barians will get our Numbers and will destroy Astral World... If I make any other move, Vector will counter it and everyone will be in danger...Ó
It was then Yuma slowly withdrew Rank-Up-Magic Barian’s Force from his hand and stated as he stared blankly at the Card. ÒRank-Up-Magic Barian's Force is our only hope...Ó
ÒYuma, no!Ó Astral called out in concern, before Vector yelled out in amusement. ÒYuma, yes!Ó
ÒNone of your other monsters will be able to stop me or my Masquerade.Ó Vector stated arrogantly, before he explained. ÒAnd even if you do hold on, Masquerade can get rid of the top Card from your Deck every single turn, meaning you'll be with less Cards whenever you draw and out of Deck!Ó
ÒNo matter what alternative plan you try to make, your end is inevitable!Ó Vector stated manically, before laughing cruelly, in which Astral could see Vector’s manipulative words were getting to Yuma’s head, causing him to plead. ÒYuma, I am begging you, please, do not use that card!Ó
However, it was to Astral’s shock that the Barian emblem then appeared on Yuma’s forehead, before the Winner of the World Duel Carnival exclaimed as he played it. ÒI... I'm sorry, Astral... But I need to stop Vector... No matter what... I activate Rank-Up-Magic Barian's Force!Ó
ÒI rebuild the Overlay network with Utopia!Ó Yuma exclaimed as the power of Rank-Up-Magic Barian’s Force allowed Utopia to break free form Vector’s chains, before transforming into a form of dark red energy, which shot into the sky and into a vortex, creating a massive explosion of Barian energy.
ÒGo Chaos Xyz Evolution!Ó Yuma exclaimed, before he commanded in a darker tone, never heard from him before. ÒBarian’s power, formed by chaos, use your power to evolve Utopia from a form of light to one of chaos! Come forth Chaos Number 39: Utopia Ray V!Ó (2600/2000)
And now, standing in Utopia’s place was his Barian counterpart, Utopia Ray V, his Overlay units had transformed into Chaos Overlay units, causing Vector to think to himself in an amused and wicked tone. ‘I see you made the smart choice of playing my Card. But it will only be the end of you. Poor Yuma, you are so predictably pathetic. Place anyone of his friends in danger and you can easily pull his strings like the puppet he is.’
ÒI now activate the power of Barian’s Force!Ó Yuma exclaimed, before he told Vector darkly. ÒNow Masquerade’s Overlay units are taken away and added to mine! Go, Chaos Drain!Ó
It was then Masquerade’s three Overlay units were forcefully pulled over to Yuma’s side of the Field and transformed into Chaos Overlay Units, before Yuma yelled out in a dark tone. ÒNow your Monster loses 300 Attack Points for each Overlay unit I stole!Ó (2700_1800)
But the decrease in Masquerade’s Attack power didn’t matter to Yuma; all that mattered to him now was revenge, in which the Number Hunter yelled out in fury. ÒI activate Utopia Ray V’s special ability! I use a Chaos Overlay unit to Destroy Masquerade and you take Damage equal to that Monster’s Attack Points!Ó
ÒGo, Utopia Ray V, take down Masquerade with Spinning Blades of Destruction!Ó Yuma commanded, in which Utopia Ray V withdrew his blades, combined them into a single weapon and threw the Barian weapon directly at Masquerade, causing Vector to get slammed with 1800 Points of Damage as his Monster was Destroyed in a massive explosion, the Duel was over, or so it seemed.
ÒI’m not finished, Vector!Ó Yuma yelled out, before the red spiked haired teen exclaimed in a tone of mindless vengeance. ÒUtopia Ray V, I command you to Attack Vector directly! Destroy him, make him pay for everything he’s done!Ó
Doing as commanded, Utopia Ray V shot forward and struck into Vector’s chest with his blades, causing Vector to let out a mixture of pain and laughter as he was launched back from the devastating power of Yuma’s Attack.

ÒI’m not finished, Vector!Ó Yuma yelled out, before the red spiked haired teen exclaimed in a tone of mindless vengeance. ÒUtopia Ray V, I command you to Attack Vector directly! Destroy him, make him pay for everything he’s done!Ó
Doing as commanded, Utopia Ray V shot forward and struck into Vector’s chest with his blades, causing Vector to let out a mixture of pain and laughter as he was launched back from the devastating power of Yuma’s Attack.
