Part 2: 01x16 - Darkness Dawns

[bunniefuu]

(Yuma) So, Alito and Girag used this place as their hideout?

(Ray Shadows) Yes, that's right.

Well, it doesn't look like anybody's been here lately.

We won't find any clues here.

Leave the investigating to me, Junior Deputy Yuma.

You're a rookie, so keep your opinions to yourself.

A rookie?

But if you work hard and carry out all my orders,

you can earn yourself one of these.

An official Barian police badge.

That's the coolest thing I've ever seen!

By the way, how is Astral?

I don't know.

I haven't seen him since we dueled against Girag.

His body must still be healing, I guess.

I see.

Well, when Astral does show up,

don't tell him I'm with the Barian Cosmic Crime Unit.

That won't be easy.

I don't like keeping secrets from my friends.

That's an order.

Astral's safety depends on it.

Yes, sir, sir! Understood!

(Astral) The Numbers that are being used by the Barians

are far more powerful than any monsters

Yuma and I have faced before,

especially when they evolve into Chaos Numbers.

We will not continue winning our duels

unless I find a way to become stronger, but how?

What is happening?

The Numbers...

It seems as if they are trying to communicate with me.

(Number ) Astral!

You! Number !

You are not powerful enough to defeat the Barians.

I thought I had finally seen the last of you.

Well, luckily for you, you were wrong.

You need my aid, Astral, and you know it.

Release me from the confines of this Key and in return,

I will lend you my help.

You know I will not accept your offer.

Do not dismiss me so quickly.

I know that you are stumbling around hopelessly in the dark.

You do not have the strength to continue on alone.

You need me.

Face the facts, Astral.

You may be light, but I am darkness.

Light can only shine in the dark.

Without me, you will never be complete!

Hey, Astral, are you there?

(Teacher) This single-celled organism is a wonder of nature...

(Yuma) Astral, can you hear me?

C'mon answer me, please!

Yuma, can't that wait till after class?

No, I have to find out if Astral is okay.

Hey, I know!

Excuse me, but I need to go to the nurse's office, pronto!

The sudden reappearance of Number is disturbing.

I wish I could make sense of it all,

but my mission remains as mysterious as ever.

(Door) Astral... are you worthy?

What is this place?

Your time is now.

Your time is now, Astral...

For what?

Tell me.

Explain.

Pass this test and your path will be revealed.

Fail, and all will be lost.

All will be lost?

What must I do?

Who are you?

I am the one who will challenge your limits!

You must duel me!

Astral, please!

Come out of the Key!

I'm worried about you!

(Yuma) He's still not answering.

I bet he's really sick!

We have to do something!

Calm down, please.

You'll be okay, pal!

Just relax!

I'll ask the nurse to take your temperature!

Chill out!

I'm sure it's all gonna be okay, Yuma.

Hey, what's going on? Whoa!

(Tori) Whatever it is, it can't be good!

Hey, where's Yuma?

He's gone!

Whoa! Whoa!

Wait a minute, where am I?

Astral!

Does this mean we're inside the Golden Key?

Yes.

Did you bring me here?

No, you were brought here by him.

Whoa! Who is that?

(Astral) It appears I am to be tested.

In order to further my mission,

I must defeat this warrior.

Is he a Barian?

He is not.

Nevertheless, I must b*at him to regain a crucial memory.

Be warned!

Losing will have grave consequences.

Well then, it's a good thing all I know how to do is win!

Duel Disk go!

Duel Gazer, let's roll!

Let's duel! Let's duel!

Let us see how you handle adversity.

Will you overcome it or will it destroy you?

I draw!

I begin by summoning Bubble Breeder!

I will then send this card to my graveyard.

This allows me to summon another Bubble Breeder from my hand,

which I will do without delay!

And now I activate Monster Reborn!

I will use it to return

a third Bubble Breeder from my graveyard!

This guy isn't fooling around.

Indeed, I will use all my might against you!

I overlay all three Bubble Breeders

in order to build the Overlay Network!

I Xyz Summon Unformed Void!

But it has no att*ck points!

And that should worry us.

I activate my field spell Overlay World!

At the end of each turn, any duelist without an Xyz Monster

takes points of damage,

and any destroyed Xyz Monsters will be banished!

I now end my turn.

That's really gonna limit our options in this duel.

This will be most challenging.

It's already hitting us up for damage!

But no matter what...

We're gonna win this thing!

Together, we can do this!

That's right, we summon

Dododo Warrior!

By lowering its att*ck points by ,

we can summon it without tributing!

(Both) And then we will use a spell.

Fourcing!

(Astral) By sending a card in our hand to the graveyard,

we can summon a Level Spellcaster.

We're saying goodbye to Ganbara Lancer.

And hello to Gagaga Magician!

Next, we use the spell Monster Reborn!

That'll let us bring back Ganbara Lancer!

When we Xyz Summon, Ganbara Lancer

will count as two monsters!

Yeah, we Overlay our two Ganbara Lancers

in order to build the Overlay Network

and Xyz Summon Number : Volcasaurus!

Yuma, summon another Number at once!

I activate Gagaga Magician's special ability,

changing its Level from to !

Now I can overlay Gagaga Magician and Dododo Warrior!

I Xyz Summon Number : Chronomaly Atlandis!

Cool!

With that, we can get the upper hand!

Indeed, the time to act is now.

Let's go!

I activate Atlandis's special ability!

By using this Overlay Unit,

it wipes out half your life points!

Go, Atlandis!

Orichalcum Gate!

Oh, yeah!

That worked perfectly!

Now let's att*ck him with our Numbers!

I activate Unformed Void's

special ability!

By using one Overlay Unit,

all your Xyz Monsters' att*ck points

are added to my Unformed Void!

Whoa! Now it's super powerful!

He appears to have turned the tables on us.

Yeah, maybe so.

But now we can turn the tables right back on him!

I activate Volcasaurus' special ability!

By using one Overlay Unit,

Volcasaurus destroys your monster

and deals you damage equal to

the destroyed monster's att*ck points!

This duel's all done!

No.

His monster should've been totally vaporized!

Overlay World's effect makes that impossible.

While this field is active,

no spell, trap, or special ability

can destroy Xyz Monsters!

Well, that figures.

Guess I'll have to end my turn then.

It's my move!

I draw!

Unformed Void att*ck Atlandis!

Since it is a Number, it cannot be destroyed.

Yeah, you're right!

When Unformed Void att*cks,

it puts an end to any special abilities

that prevent your monster's destruction.

Oh, no! It's gonna take out our Number!

He counters every single move we make.

We are not strong enough.

You will not win until you accept the one thing you lack.

You need... my help!

What does this guy want, Astral?

He's nothing but trouble!

You have me all wrong.

I am here to help.

This opponent is testing Astral

in order to see if he is worthy of keeping the Numbers.

Worthy?

That doesn't make any sense.

Why would that guy care if Astral has the Numbers?

Astral, you know I am right.

You also know that you need my power to defeat him.

What does he mean we need his power, Astral?

It is true.

I have things that Astral lacks.

Anger, envy, malice.

You need them all to win!

We don't need any of that stuff and we never will!

Or so you think.

Take my advice and think it over carefully

before you turn me down, Astral.

Just remember...

this is not the human world.

I wonder what will happen to your friend Yuma if you lose?

Astral, he's wrong!

We can win this without anyone's help!

It's my turn!

I draw!

I'm putting a monster facedown in defense mode!

And then I'll switch Volcasaurus to defense mode.

I activate Unformed Void's special ability!

Now the att*ck points of your Xyz Monster are added

to Unformed Void's att*ck total!

No way! Not again!

It's getting stronger with every turn.

Yuma, place that card down.

I'm putting one card facedown and ending my turn!

It is my move!

Unformed Void, destroy Volcasaurus!

I end my turn!

We have no Xyz Monsters,

so Overlay World's effect will strike us again!

This next turn will be our last.

Unless we summon an Xyz Monster,

the field spell's effect will erase all our life points.

But if we do bring an Xyz Monster onto our field,

the strength his monster gains will be devastating,

both for myself and for Yuma!

(Number ) This is not the human world.

I wonder what will happen to your friend Yuma if you lose?

(Astral) Yuma.

All right, Number !

I will free you!

No, Astral, you can't!

Please don't do this!

Number , make sure you fulfill

your end of our bargain!

Why, Astral?

Why are you teaming up with him?

I promised that I would help you win this duel and I will.

You must summon Dark Mist... quickly!

No, I won't!

You must! It is the only way we can win!

(Yuma) All right, then.

My move!

First, I'll summon my facedown monster.

Magical Undertaker is on the job!

Then I'll have it use its special ability!

It lets me summon a Spellcaster from my graveyard

as long as it's Level -or-below.

Come back, Gagaga Magician!

And whenever a Dark Attribute monster is on my field,

I can summon this monster from my hand!

Caligo Claw Crow!

Now use your ability, Gagaga!

Change from Level to Level !

Now summon Dark Mist and I will seal our victory!

Do it! Now. All right!

I Overlay my Level Gagaga Magician, Caligo Claw Crow,

and Magical Undertaker in order to build the Overlay Network!

I Xyz Summon Number : Dark Mist!

Your troubles are over!

Your troubles are over!

Dark Mist will eliminate all who stand in our way!

Dark Mist, att*ck Unformed Void!

I activate Dark Mist's special ability!

By using one Overlay Unit,

Dark Mist steals half of Unformed Void's att*ck points!

Shadow Gain!

Now activate that trap card while you have a chance!

I'm activating Battle Restart!

(Astral) If a battle has already commenced,

this card restarts the battle!

Perfect.

This allows Dark Mist to use Shadow Gain again!

Be merciless, Dark Mist!

Drain away half of Unformed Void's att*ck points

so that you can grow stronger!

And now we can finish him off!

Convinced yet?

Surely you must see now that you do need my power...

...the power of darkness!

Go, Dark Mist!

Destroy Unformed Void!

Whiplash Whirlwind!

You have proven yourself worthy, Astral.

Your path will now be revealed.

Hold up, where are we now?

The Door has put us on the path to enlightenment, Yuma.

I finally understand what the Numbers have been telling me.

Of course, yes, it all makes sense.

Yuma, I remember now!

There is a card that contains

the meaning of the entire universe.

Within it can be found any answer you could possibly seek!

Everything from the origins of time itself

to the ultimate destiny of all reality.

Wait, all that stuff's... in a card?

It is a very special card, Yuma.

The card is so powerful that it can determine

the fate of every world.

This may be hard for you to understand

and even harder for you to believe.

It is the card that created our whole universe...

The Numeron Code.

Where is it?

As we collect the remaining Numbers,

we will learn the card's location.

The Barians are desperately seeking this card,

but I must obtain it first!

Whoa, not again!

Tori!

Yuma!

What a relief!

(Tori) Astral! You're okay!

What's that?

Astral, you kept your word and set me free.

Thank you.

And I promise you,

there will come a day

when you need my dark powers once more.

We will meet again.

Well, that was weird.

What was that thing?

(Tori) Are you serious?

You guys actually had a duel inside your Key?

Yeah.

That Astral look-alike helped us win.

And after that, me and Astral

were transported to some passageway.

It was there we saw

a super mysterious card called Numeron Code.

Numeron Code?

Sounds important.

Number seemed certain

that I would ask for his help again.

Will I truly need his powers to carry out my mission?

Am I destined to draw upon his darkness in the future?
