Part 2: 02x05 - Barian Vengeance: Part 1

[bunniefuu]

Why did you call us here, Vector?

You said it was urgent.

This had better be important... or else!

Get a grip, Mizar!

I've got some great news.

Our threesome has become a fivesome again!

What?

Girag and Alito!

But how did you two wake up?

When you each fought in the human world your powers

were totally depleted.

You should both be in a state of eternal stasis!

We were stirred from our slumber once we sensed

that you losers desperately needed help.

Losers?

The important thing is that our friends are back!

Don't let meaningless squabbles put a fly in your ointment!

Did somebody call for me?

I may be tiny, but I've brought you guys a big scoop!

It's about the ruins at Spartan City!

If you were planning to tell us that a Mythyrian Number

can been found there,

we have already learned that for ourselves, Heartland.

And Yuma Tsukumo knows it, too...

which means that he's probably heading there even as we speak!

Yuma Tsukumo?

If we hurry, we can arrive at the ruins before Yuma

and ambush him when he shows up!

Excellent idea!

I'll take it from here!

I have a bone to pick with Yuma Tsukumo,

and it's about to become personal!

(Astral) According to the map, the Number we seek is

somewhere here in the ruins of Spartan City.

I gotta tell you, these are the newest looking ruins

we've been to yet.

Hey, did you boys miss us?

To help us in our Number search,

we checked out the local scenery.

Now that we've explored those fashionable clothing shops,

we should begin a restaurant survey!

And then pick up some local dance moves! Oh, brother.

I can't believe Kite ordered me to me stay back

and keep an eye on the ship!

Doesn't he realize robots need a little excitement, too?

When he gets back, I'm gonna throw a techno tantrum!

Okay, seriously, this city's huge,

so how will we find the ruins we're looking for?

We could ask the locals... or buy a guide book...

(Yuma) Whoa!

What's up? Did you find where the ruins are?

You guys aren't gonna believe it!

(announcer) It'll be the most action- packed smackdown ever,

as our duelists deploy their might and monsters...

Figures!

I should've known you were going gaga over a duel!

Forget the duel!

Check out the duelist in the mask!

(announcer) ...Nistromo the Star Voyager!

That looks like Nistro...

Take that duelist down!

(Yuma) That's definitely Nistro!

(announcer) We have a mind-blowing matchup today!

Let's give a big shout-out for our first duelist,

the brawniest brawler of them all...

...Muscules the Magnificent!

His challenger is the mysterious masked duelist

who hails from outer space.

Give it up for Nistromo the Star Voyager!

Nistromo, Nistromo, Nistromo, Nistromo!

(announcer) What a welcome!

As a cosmic champion of justice, Nistromo is wildly

popular with dueling fans all across the galaxy!

Yeah! Are you guys ready to blast off?


Nistromo, Nistromo, Nistromo, Nistromo!

Get him, Nistromo!

Show that muscle-head that you're stronger!

I dedicate this duel to my fans!

Go, Kusanagi!

Introduce Muscules to the floor!

(announcer) He's down for the count!

Nistromo the Star Voyager rockets his way to another

victory!

♪♪

You made it all the way to the finals!

We're counting on you to win!

Thanks! I won't let you down!

(Yuma) Can I get an autograph, too?

Hey! Dextra and Nistro, what's up?

That looks like... Yuma!

So, you went pro, huh Nistro?

You've got a cool new name, awesome threads,

and now you're a total fan magnet!

I suppose.

Kids are really into my whole galactic warrior persona.

But the best thing is that I'm winning

and now have a sh*t at a championship!

And have you become a professional duelist,

too, Dextra? No way!

I am Nistro's manager!

(Nistro) I know it's a big career change,

but we decided we wanted to give young people hope.

I figured that by becoming Nistromo the Star Voyager,

I could give fans a hero they could look up to.

I guess that sounds pretty corny to you.

Are you kidding? I think it's fantastic!

Yeah!

What you're doing is important.

Fans need to feel someone is battling for them.

I felt exactly like you do when I dueled for my brother.

It's nice to know that some people in this group

value their siblings. Who do you mean?

What brought you all here to Spartan City anyway?

We're on a mission.

We're lookin' for some ancient ruins.

(Nistro) What ruins?

Good afternoon.

What can I get you?

Directions.

To some ruins in this city.

(Nistro) So, these ruins you're looking for are

somehow connected to your father?

That's right.

Have you heard anything about them from the locals here?

I've heard some of them talk about a legend.

It tells about a ruined coliseum,

haunted by the spirit of a warrior.

Warrior? What else do you know?

(Dextra) According to the legend, there was once a warrior who only

battled with his hands.

Even so, he was the greatest warrior in the city.

His only true rival was the prince of the city,

who was himself a mighty warrior.

The two battled many times and came to respect

each other's skills.

Though one was royalty and the other a commoner,

they eventually became friends.

None of this made the prince's advisors very happy.

And so, they started to look for some way

to get rid of the warrior for good.

During a public match, the advisors accused the warrior

of being a traitor and thr*at to the empire.

The warrior swore he was innocent

and the prince defended him too.

But the warrior was found guilty.

And so he was banished from the city forever.

Time passed and the great city fell into decay.

But legend says that even now the spirit of the warrior

wanders the coliseum's ruins.

His spirit's still angry that he paid for a crime

he didn't commit. No, you're wrong.

His spirit is there because he still wants to fight.

The prince's advisors stopped their match before it was done.

The outcome was never decided,

so the warrior's spirit can't rest.

He still lingers at the coliseum's ruins

which are now underwater.

Wait!

I thought those ruins were supposed to be

here in the city!

They are.

The people of Spartan City were afraid of the spirit, so they

built a huge bank all around the ruins

and then filled it with water.

How can we reach the Number if it's underwater?

It'll be dark soon, Yuma.

Let's deal with this tomorrow after

we get a good night's sleep.

Retrieving the Number down there will not be easy.

It looks like they haven't arrived at the lake yet.

Which means I still have time for a little fun.

You made it all the way to the finals!

We're counting on you to win!

Strange, this is the first time I've had trouble


sleeping before a match.

It's not a good sign.

The legend says that whoever captures the spirit of

the warrior down there, will gain extraordinary power.

I can't believe I came here in the middle of the night

because of some moldy old legend!

Even if the story was true...

...I could never reach those ruins

unless I had scuba gear.

It's time to spring a leak!

Yuma! Wake up!

What is it, Astral?

I have sensed a disturbance.

Is there something up at the lake?

It's more like something has gone down.

(Yuma) The water drained away!

That means we can reach the ruins now.

You're right. Yeah, but so can the Barians.

They could reach the Number before we do!

Shark...

I sense there's a dark power down there.

Barians...

(Dextra) Why're you all still awake?

Have you spotted something?

Wait, where am I?

That fall must've rattled my brain!

This looks like the ruins of the coliseum...

but that's impossible!

(Yuma) Thanks for driving us in the middle of the night.

You convinced me your mission's important.

I just wish Nistro were here.

It's not like him to wander off this way.

Strange...

I feel like I've walked through here before.

That looks like... a Number card!

That card is mine for the taking...

...and I'm going to take it now!

And use it against Yuma!

This barrier is strong!

(voice) Only one who possesses the spirit of a great warrior

is worthy of inheriting my power!

Could you be the one?

Are you willing to prove that you surpass all others

in skill and courage?

You better believe it!

Now give me that Number so I can b*at Yuma Tsukumo

once and for all!

You cannot be him!

You're...

mine!

Yes! This Number is incredibly powerful.

But using it will cost me.

I have to be willing to put it all on the line...

(Nistro) Hey, Buddy!

What are you doing here?

(Alito) His face is familiar...

He looks like the duelist from the tournament!

(Yuma) Nistro!

Nistro! What're you doing here?

Alito!

Long time no see!

Yuma Tsukumo...

I'm glad to see that you're okay!

I was worried about what happened

to you after our duel.

As you can see, I'm fine.

I've completely recovered and I can't wait to step

into the ring with you and have a rematch!

(Alito) This Number is eager to go into battle with me!

But if I wield it myself, the risk would be too great.

Someone set off explosions here

to get rid of the water in the lake.

I think it may've been this guy, Yuma!

(Alito) Of course!

I can have him take the risk for me!

You're a duelist, right?

Then you'll love this card!

Check it out!

Hold on! This is a Number card!

That's right!

And you will now use it to defeat Yuma for me!

What're you doing?

Stop! Nistro, no!

I must eliminate all threats to Barian World!

I must eliminate all threats to Barian World!

Alito! Why have you taken control of Nistro's mind?

Taken control?

Wait, who are you?

My name's Alito and I'm one of the seven Barian emperors!

You can't be a Barian!

Your kind left this world after Dr. Faker was defeated.

Well now we're back and ready for a tag duel...

two of us against two of you!

You expect us to fight Nistro?

Winning this duel is the only way to free him

from Alito's mind control!

Okay, in that case then,

let's show this Barian how to battle!

You? I can't stand by while the Barians turn him into a puppet.

I'll fight against Nistro... to save him!


Are you with me? Yeah!

Hang on!

She hasn't faced Barians before!

Let me duel! No, Shark.

We have to let Dextra handle this.

Yuma, why do you look so down in the dumps?

You wanted to duel me again and now

you're going to get the chance!

Yeah, that is true.

Our last duel was so awesome that I was hoping

we'd face-off again someday.

Only I didn't think were gonna turn

one of my friends against me!

I need Nistro's help.

He'll be a valuable partner.

In fact, he'll give this duel his all!

What do you mean?

You'll find out... soon!

Let's do this! Duel Disk go!

Duel Gazer let's roll!

(all) Let's duel!

(computer voice) Augmented Reality Vision Link established.

The Barians must prevail.

I'll go first! I draw!

I summon Heroic-Challenger Ambush Soldier!

My task is done, I end my turn.

Nistro...

I'll go next!

I draw!

(Yuma) I can't believe Alito brainwashed Nistro!

What a jerk move!

Stay calm, Yuma.

Giving in to anger will not help you.

I know.

Gotta get in the zone!

I'll start my turn by summoning Gagaga Magician!

Then I'll use a spell card... Gagagamirror!

My magical mirror reflects back Gagaga Magician,

creating an exact copy but they won't be around for long

'cause I'm gonna use them as part of a magic act

and make them disappear!

With these two monsters I build the Overlay Network!

I Xyz Summon Number Utopia!

Bringing out your best monster right from the start?

You must be worried.

You're the one who should be worried right now, Alito.

Here!

I'll put this card facedown and end my turn!

All the tough talk in the world won't save you

from the disaster that's heading your way!

And now, it's my turn! I draw!

I'll put one monster facedown in defense mode!

And then I'll place a second card facedown and end my turn!

Then it's my move!

I draw!

I place this monster facedown in in defense mode.

Next, I'll put two more cards facedown... ending my turn.

It is my turn.

I draw!

I summon Heroic Challenger, Clasp Sword!

Next, I activate Ambush Soldier's special ability!

And I guarantee you never saw this coming!

I can tribute this monster and replace it with two other

Heroic Challengers by lowering their Levels to !

I summon Double Lance and Night Watchman!

Now I overlay my three Heroic Challengers!

With these three monsters I build the Overlay Network

and Xyz Summon Number Lion Heart!

That must be the Number from these ruins!

It doesn't seem to be packing that much punch.

Perhaps not.

When Lion Heart is in att*ck mode,

you can't destroy it in battle!

Go, Lion Heart! att*ck Utopia!

But that makes no sense!

You're setting yourself up to take , points of damage!

Lion Heart's special ability activates!

Now Yuma will take the same amount of damage that I do!

Yikes! Oh, no!

Pouncing Punch!

Nistro! Yuma!

You intend to keep exchanging blows

until one of you collapses!

That's right.

Except I can pound away without taking damage.

Nistro will get pummeled instead.

As a puppet, he's very useful...

and completely disposable!

Alito, I can't believe you're battling this way!

You wouldn't have sunk this low when we dueled before!

That was then, Yuma.

Now I'll do anything to make you pay for defeating me!
