Part 2: 02x21 - Mission: Astral World, Part 2

[bunniefuu]

(Yuma) Last time on "Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL"...

Whoa! Is that Astral World?

Quinton and Kite did it!

They got me here!

Hey!

What are you doing here, Dumon?

Reginald Kastle, your real name is Nash and you are

one of the seven Barian Emperors.

Who are you?

My name is Enna.

Please, share your life force with this boy.

He needs you.

Okay.

Here goes.

Just like this?

How'd I do that?

There is a spark within you that no longer exists on this world.

Where'd it go?

Long ago the people of Astral World saw this spark,

this chaos energy as something dangerous.

By purging ourselves of this energy, we lost part

of ourselves and now our planet is suffering.

If our world is to have a chance, you must free

Astral before he is erased.

Astral!

All right! I found you at last!

Now I'm bustin' you out of here,

so let's get going!

(Eliphas) You are not going anywhere.

You're...

I am the Guardian of Astral World.

Those that I protect call me Eliphas.

Well listen up, Astral's coming with me!

No, he is not.

Why?

Astral was born with a twin purpose:

to destroy Barian World and to guide our world towards

its destiny of evolving its power.

Your chaos energy has infected him and he has been tainted.

He is no longer pure.

He must be erased.

Free my friend now, Eliphas, or face the consequences!

I will not let Astral leave this world.

Then let's duel!

Here are my terms.

Win and he goes free.

Lose and you do not!

Okay, fine! You got it!

Let us duel! Let's duel!

I wield the power to choose the very cards I will draw!

Uh-oh...

I hope this isn't what I think it is.

Tremble before the power of Shining Draw!

You have the power of Shining Draw!

That is right.

Now tremble as your defeat draws near.

I activate the spell Rank-Up Advantage!

And it is going to give me a great advantage when I play

this spell next!

Rank-Up-Magic Astral Force!

Your pitiful odds of winning this duel and leaving with

Astral are dropping even lower, Yuma!

Watch as my Etheric Anubis ranks up by two!

Oh man, it's gonna be a Rank now.

I overlay my Rank Etheric Anubis!

With this one monster,

I rebuild the Overlay Network!

Go, Rank Up Xyz Evolution!

Now arise!

New Order !

Etheric Apophis!

Having summoned an Xyz Monster using Rank-Up-Magic,

Rank-Up Advantage's effect activates allowing me to

draw a card from my deck!


With the power of Shining Draw it will be just what I want.

Then I activate Etheric Apophis' special ability.

By using one Overlay Unit,

your monster sinks to a new low.

Utopia's att*ck points dropped!

Etheric Apophis att*ck Utopia!

Not so fast!

Utopia's special ability stops your att*ck!

Wrong! Due to Rank-Up Advantage's effect,

Utopia's special abilities are all negated.

No sweat! Cuz I can play this...

Half Unbreak!

This trap saves Utopia from destruction!

And not only that, I only take half the damage

from Etheric Apophis!

So be it.

Next time I promise you will not be so fortunate.

Nash, I've come to help you.

To awaken your true self. What?

The truth about who you and your sister are

has been buried deep within your mind.

I possess the power that can help uncover the mystery

of your past.

And now Nash, it's time to learn who you really are

and take the throne as the leader of the Barians!

This is where I dueled Abyss, right?

That is correct my friend.

The visions you saw during that duel were of your former life.

It is time for you to revisit your past so that you

can unlock your future.

You must do this... for Barian World!

(Yuma) Eliphas has me on the ropes.

He has an answer for every move I make.

So far he's been able to think of a card and draw it.

How am I supposed to be able to b*at that?

I see you are growing more and more panicked as

the inevitable truth sinks in.

There is no chance for you to win this duel.

The power of Shining Draw assures me of two things:

that I have already won, and that Astral's fate is sealed.

Saving your friend is impossible.

The damage you caused is irreversible.

The seed of darkness you see is the mark of your chaos energy.

It will grow, spreading quickly throughout his body,

fully consuming him, leaving nothing but

a shell of his former self.

That can't be.

You're wrong.

Astral's a fighter!

He's stronger than you think, he can b*at anything!

Do not fool yourself.

Astral will not overcome the darkness within him.

No one will.

You may be under the impression that you

helped Enna and the others,

but you in fact have sentenced them all to share Astral's fate.

You see, the beings of Astral World cannot house

the Chaos Energy within them.

The power you shared is a virus that will weaken

and decay them from within.

That's not true!

When I first saw Enna,

her friends looked in real bad shape.

I helped by sharing this "Chaos Energy" with them.

And now, they're totally feelin' the flow!

Ah, yes, "feeling the flow" the words of a fool.

Your father's words.

He too was blinded by chaos.

If you know where my dad is, you better tell me right now!

I wish I knew of his whereabouts,

for he must be held accountable for his interference.

Kazuma's meddling is what sent Astral to your world

so he would meet you.

Astral would never have been tainted by your chaos energy

if we had not been betrayed by your father!

My dad wouldn't do anything bad.

He must have had a reason!

Regardless of the reason,

we are still reeling from the effects of his reckless actions.

See for yourself.

The very fact that you are here is testament to that.

Enna!

What are you gonna do to her?

She didn't do anything wrong.

I cannot allow those who have been infected

by chaos to roam free.

That is why I must defeat you here and now.

I cannot risk you hurting any more of the people I am here

to serve and protect.

You will fall before me!

Don't be so sure!

You might be relying on the power of Shining Draw to win

this duel, but two can play at that game!

Do not be so certain.

The reason you have been able tap into the power of Shining

Draw was all due to Astral.

Without him, you are nothing.

Oh, yeah?

Well Astral's the one who helped me build this deck!

And tapping into that deck is in the cards for me.


Because I'm so feeling the flow!

My turn! I draw!

Yes! All right!

Get set to get decked Eliphas!

I'm activating the spell card,

Rank-Up-Magic Numeron Force!

It cannot be.

You better believe it is!

This card negates the effects of all face up cards

on the field for this turn!

But that's not all!

It also turns my Utopia into a Chaos Xyz Monster!

Utopia, what do you say we turns things up a notch?

With this one monster, I rebuild the Overlay Network!

Go Chaos Xyz Evolution!

I summon Chaos Number Utopia Ray Victory!

I summon Chaos Number Utopia Ray Victory!

I activate Utopia Ray Victory's special ability!

By using one Overlay Unit,

your Etheric Apophis' att*ck points

are added to Utopia Ray Victory's!

Victory Charge!

How dare you bring chaos into this duel?

Utopia Ray Victory!

att*ck with Rising Sun Double Victory Slash!

All right!

Way to slice and dice Utopia Ray!

I activate the trap Ascension Spiral!

By banishing Etheric Apophis from my graveyard,

I am allowed to summon an Xyz Monster Ranks higher than

the monster that was banished.

I summon my Rank New Order...

Etheric Sebek!

Whoa! He ranked up again?

Yes, that is correct.

You see, duels are fought and won this way in Astral World.

I activate Rank-Up-Magic Astral Force's effect

from the graveyard.

Instead of drawing a card this turn,

I can return Astral Force to my hand.

Oh no, he can use a Rank Up Magic card against me!

Yes and now I activate Rank-Up-Magic Astral Force

once again!

My monster will further evolve into greatness!

With this one monster, I rebuild the Overlay Network!

Rank Up Xyz Evolution!

I summon New Order Etheric Horus!

I activate Rank-Up Advantage's effect!

And it is sure to squash the last remnants of hope

in your heart.

Since I summoned an Xyz Monster using Rank-Up-Magic, I draw one

card and with the might of Shining Draw,

I drew the very card I need a second Astral Force!

Oh, no, come on, not another one!

I activate Astral Force to bring out the epitome of perfection!

With this one monster, I rebuild the Overlay Network!

Go Rank Up Xyz Evolution!

I summon, New Order Etheric Mahees!

Whoa, this guy doesn't quit!

He keeps powering up his monsters!

Rank-Up Advantage lets me draw a card!

Victory will soon be mine.

Because when I activate Etheric Maahes' special ability,

all its Overlay Units revert back into monsters,

creating an unstoppable army!

So come back to the field, Etheric Sebek and Horus!

He has three Xyz monsters!

Could this possibly get any worse?

The answer is yes.

I activate Rank Domination!

Now only Xyz Monsters can att*ck,

starting with the monster with the lowest Rank.

Behold your target, my Sebek!

att*ck Utopia Ray Victory!

I activate Utopia Ray Victory's special ability!

By using one Overlay Unit,

it gains att*ck points equal to Sebek's att*ck points.

Then I will counter your move with Rank Domination's effect!

When our monsters battle, the one with the lower Rank

loses att*ck points equal to the difference in their Ranks,

multiplied by ,.

Your Utopia Ray Victory is Rank .

My Sebek is Rank , so the difference is .

Utopia Ray Victory's loses , att*ck points!

And now, go Sebek!

Sink your teeth into Utopia Ray Victory!

You'll never destroy it!

Only a Number can destroy a Number!

That may be true but you will soon learn in this duel,

Numbers are quite powerless.

Say what?

Etheric Horus prepare to strike!

Rank Domination's effect now activates, reducing your

Utopia Ray Victory's att*ck points by ,!

Uh-oh!

The stage has been set Etheric Horus!

att*ck Utopia Ray Victory!

Barian World? Yes.

It is unclear how you and Marin

got from our home to this world,


but that does not matter.

What is important is for you to fully realize everything

about your true self.

(Shark) I'm back.

Do not fret my brother.

I will offer up my own soul to Abyss.

No!

Rio!

Abyss Splash was the key to my victory!

Now we must regroup!

(Rio) Now our people will be unharmed.

Rio...

Rio...

My friend...

I am so sorry.

Rio...

Rio!

Vector! Vengeance will be mine!

I will not rest until you and your armies fall before me.

This I promise!

I will get payback for my sister!

Prepare to strike! Show no mercy!

Lay waste to everything!

Forward! Victory is ours!

After him! He must not escape!

Vector! I will hunt you down!

He was here.

Sadly, yes.

Vector knows no mercy.

He will not stop his destructive ways.

We must put a stop to him.

Rio...

I may be banged-up, but I'm not beaten!

Not yet.

But that time draws near.

Sorry, no chance!

I'm gonna win this duel and rescue Astral!

You will not succeed.

And your friend will very soon vanish from existence.

Then he will be reborn.

What does that mean?

The Astral you know will be no more.

His memories of you will no longer exist.

All he will know is his mission

to destroy Barian World.

That can't be!

He'd never forget our times together!

I won't let you take that away!

Try as you might, victory will not be yours.

The end is here!

Now go, Etheric Maahes!

att*ck Utopia Ray Victory!

Rank Domination's effect activates!

Since the Rank difference between Utopia Ray Victory

and Etheric Maahes is seven...

Utopia Ray Victory loses , att*ck points!

Zero att*ck points!

What am I gonna do now?

That is quite simple.

What you will do is lose this duel!

This can't be it! Can it?

No! Astral!

Oh, no!

Yuma's in trouble!
