Power of Numbers (Yuma Tsukumo and Astral vs Don Thousand)

**Heartland City Plaza:**

Yuma Tsukumo and Astral were seen together ready to duel alongside each other.

"Get ready Astral, this is the 1 time we duel alongside each other." Yuma says.

"Well said Yuma, this time we each use our own decks." Astral suggests.

"Very well, I already have my own Number cards, esp my ace monster: Number F0: Utopic Future." Yuma smiles.

"You’re gonna need all the cards you got if you wanna defeat me!" A voice shouts as Yuma and Astral turn and see Don Thousand.

"It's Don Thousand!" Both Yuma and Astral shout.

"Thats right! I’m the Malevolent Diety: Don Thousand!" Don Thousand shouts.

"Mr. Heartland has been boasting about how much he’s loyal to you." Yuma says.

"Mr. Heartland is a failure, Shade brought him back to life and assigned him to work for me, despite that I was the 1 who burnt him alive after he lost to you when the Barian’s made their move." Don Thousand says.

"Without your Numeron Deck, you’re powerless." Yuma comments.

"I have a new deck now." Don Thousand shouts as he activates his duel disk.

"Then we'll be glad to defeat you!" Both Yuma and Astral shout as they both activated their duel disks.

*"Generating Action Field: Crossover"* The Female AI says.

All Action Cards are dispersed.

"LET'S DUEL!!!" Both Yuma, Astral and Don Thousand shout.

"I'll start this duel off by activating 3 copies of Ancient Rules 2, this lets me summon a Level 5 or above effect monster, since I have 3 copies, I can summon 3 Level 5 or above effect monsters, I summon 3 copies of Despair from the Dark!" Don Thousand shouts as he summons 3 shadow like monsters.

"He's got 3 monsters out already." Yuma comments.

"He's gonna Xyz summon!" Astral comments.

"Thats right! I overlay my 3 copies of Despair from the Dark in order to build the Overlay Network!" Don Thousand shouts as his 3 copies turned into streaks of energy, the streaks entered a swirling vortex, then a bright pillar appeared.

"I Xyz summon! Number 999: Don Thousand's Barian Dragon!" Don Thousand shouts as his number monster appeared on the field with 3 Overlay Units surrounding it, also it had the number 999 on it, it has 5000 Attack Points and 5000 Defense Points.

"That monster has 5000 Attack and Defense Points!" Yuma comments.

"Such a number shouldn’t exist." Astral says.

"Oh you bet it exists, and it’s gonna destroy you, but for now, I end my turn." Don Thousand says as he ends his turn.

"Then it’s my turn! I draw! I set the Pendulum Scale with Scale 3 Gogogo Wrestler, and Scale 5 Gagaga Clown! I’m taking control of this duel starting now!" Yuma shouts as he places his 2 Pendulum Monsters in his Pendulum Zone.

"I’m allowed to summon Level 4 monsters all at the same time! I Pendulum summon!" Yuma shouts as 2 beams came out of the Pendulum Zone.

"Gogogo Golem and Ganbara Knight!" Yuma shouts as his 2 monsters appeared on the field.

"What are you gonna do with those monsters? Obviously not summon Number 39: Utopia, since you no longer have that card." Don Thousand says.

"You’re right! I no longer have that Number card, but I have something better, I overlay my 2 Level 4 monsters in order to build the Overlay Network!" Yuma shouts as his 2 monsters turned into streaks of energy, then the streaks entered a swirling vortex, then a bright pillar appeared.

"I Xyz summon! Number 39: Utopia Echo!" Yuma shouts as his ace monster appeared on the field.

"That monster looks just like Utopia!" Don Thousand shouts in disbelief.

"Funny, Mr. Heartland said the exact same thing." Yuma laughed.

"Don't think you’ll win just because you summoned an exact version of Utopia!" Don Thousand shouts.

"Then you outta know not to underestimate me, I place 2 cards facedown and end my turn." Yuma says as he places 2 cards facedown.

"Then I’m up! I activate the spell card: Overlay Power! if there’s already an Xyz monster with Overlay Units on the field, I can use them to summon an Xyz monster!" Astral explains.

The overlay units of Number 39: Utopia Echo were detached and went into a swirling vortex, then a bright pillar appeared.

"I Xyz summon! Number 39: Utopia!" Astral shouts as his ace monster appeared on the field.

"The original is on the field too!?" Don Thousand gasps.

"Oh I’m not done, I rank up Utopia to its fullest, by activating Double-Rank-Up Magic Utopia Force! I use this to summon Xyz monsters with higher ranks than Utopia!" Astral explains as as Utopia’s overlay units were detached, then went into a swirling vortex, then a bright pillar appeared.

"Meet Number C39: Utopia Ray Victory! Followed by Number 39: Utopia Beyond!" Astral says as 2 more of his monsters appeared on the field.

"Grr blast it! I’m guessing there’s more where that came from!" Don Thousand grunts.

"You're correct Don Thousand! so let me show you! But 1st! I activate the effects of Utopia Beyond, it zeroes out your monsters attack points!" Astral shouts.

(Number 999: Don Thousand’s Barian Dragon: ATK; 5000 → 0)

"Here goes! Number C39: Utopia Ray Victory! Attack Number 999: Don Thousand’s Barian Dragon!" Astral ordered as Number C39: Utopia Ray Victory attacks and destroys Number 999: Don Thousand’s Barian Dragon.

"AHHHHH!!!" Don Thousand screams.

(Don Thousand 8000 → 5400 LP)

"Number 39: Utopia Beyond! Attack him directly!" Astral ordered as Number 39: Utopia Beyond attacked Don Thousand directly.

(Don Thousand: 5400 → 2400 LP)

"Number 39: Utopia! Finish him off! Rising Sword Slash!" Astral ordered as Number 39: Utopia attacked Don Thousand with its sword.

(Don Thousand: 2400 → 0 LP)

"Grr! You win! But I’ll return to finish you off!" Don Thousand shouts as he teleports away.

"I guess since Shark now inherits his power, he’s not as almighty as he used to be." Yuma comments.

"You already know I absorbed E'Rah and inherit her power." Astral says as E'Rah appears as a ghost.

*"Don Thousand was arrogant because he had a powerful deck, until the leader of the Barians took if from him after he was destroyed, I even learned my lesson the moment I was absorbed."*E'Rah says.

"Well said E'Rah." Astral says.

"Time to head back to HQ, I’m sure Kari will be so proud of me, all my life, she used to be so mean to me, all because she was so jealous of me, but since this war began, she’s been more nicer and kinder to me than she was before." Yuma smiles sadly as he and Astral teleport back to HQ.

**Guardians of Space and Time HQ:**

"Yuma sure has improved, I’m glad I’m related to a legend." Kari smiles.

"Being around him makes me so happy, which is 1 reason why I’m in love with him." Tori smiles as she has heart shaped eyes.

"He did save the world many times over." Rio smiles.
