Part 2: 03x23 - Forever ZEXAL

[bunniefuu]

You know what, Astral?

I'm really glad I started dueling,

because when I'm dueling,

I don't care that I was late for school

or that I flunked today's math test, but uh--

don't tell Kari and grandma--

I can forget my problems and just have fun.

That's what I love about it most.

Hey, Astral...

What are you gonna do after you get all the Numbers?

I will fulfill my mission and then return to Astral World.

I know, I get that.

But I mean after that.

After?

I have not yet considered it.

You haven't thought about your future?

(shouting)

The future is the best part!

That's where you can do anything you want,

and anything can happen.

Hmm.

But I know you're leaving,

so you won't be here with me to see it.

Sadly, I will not.

Hey!

I bet you're thinking that I'm gonna break down and cry

when you go away.

You'll see.

When you leave, my eyes are gonna be bone dry.

But before that, we'll have one last duel,

where I'll b*at you so bad,

that you'll be the one who's crying

while I laugh all the way home.

Yuma's really in trouble.

He's down to life points.

And he has no monsters.

The kid's in a tight spot, for sure.

Tight doesn't even begin to describe it.

Come on, Yuma, you've gotten out of worse than this.

I don't think so.

Face it-- when it's over, it's over.

What's Astral trying to tell me?

I hoped to remind you of what you have lost,

but the way you are dueling, it was not meant to be.

Well, what have I lost?

Figure it out.

I activate Overlay Accel's effect and use one Overlay Unit

to allow Utopia Roots to att*ck again!

Perhaps this will remind you to examine the "roots"

of your problem.

att*ck Yuma!

This is quite fun!

(thinking) Fun?

That's what I've been missing.

I've been shedding so many tears that I forgot

that dueling is supposed to be fun.

That's what I've lost.

I forgot to have fun.

Thanks for the reminder, Astral.

Go, Danger Draw!

Since your attacking monster

has more att*ck points than my life points,

I get to draw a card, and if I draw a trap card,

not only can I stop your att*ck,

but I get to activate the trap too!

Are you enjoying this duel?

Because I'm having tons of fun, Astral.

Yuma.

The ol' duel-loving Yuma is back!

And I'm gonna win.

But most importantly, Astral,

I'm gonna have fun while I'm doing it!

Yah!

(all gasping)

A truly powerful duelist can shape the outcome of a duel.


He can even generate the very cards that he needs to draw!

Go, Shining Draw!

Yuma, you can Shining Draw?

And guess what I drew?

A trap card!

So, that stops Utopia Roots' att*ck.

Then I activate my trap Halfway to Forever!

I can Xyz Summon using two monsters in my graveyard.

Get set to get decked.

I overlay Gagaga Cowboy and Gagaga Samurai to Xyz Summon.

Forge the path of destiny.

Future Number Zero!

Utopic Future.

Yuma summoned his own Number.

Utopic Future?

Yuma, that's amazing!

Quite impressive, Yuma.

I learn from the best.

Then allow me to witness what you have learned.

Okay, you asked for it!

I draw!

Utopic Future, att*ck Utopia Roots!

Utopic Future has zero att*ck points!

So, why would you att*ck my monster?

Is this another trick, Yuma?

You'll see!

(thinking) What should I do?

Roots, use your ability!

I shall be cautious and lower Utopia Roots'

att*ck points by giving your monster one Overlay Unit.

I will spare you from the equations needed

to calculate Roots' att*ck points,

because you struggle with basic arithmetic.

In essence, Utopia Roots' att*ck points drop to .

My monster's got a special ability too.

Utopic Future can't be destroyed in battle,

plus I don't take any damage!

And here's the cherry on top--

I take control of your monster until the end of the turn.

Oh, no!

Utopic Future, att*ck with Rising Sun Future Slash!

Now Utopia Roots joins the winning team.

Go, Utopia Roots!

att*ck Astral directly!

Not bad, Yuma.

I place one card face down and end my turn.

Your renewed love for dueling has made you a fiercer foe.

You bet!

Now that I got my groove back,

there's nothing you can do that I can't handle.

Oh, really?

Do not forget that everything you have learned,

you learned from me!

A master duelist can create his own destiny

and will his exact card into existence.

Go, Cosmic Shining Draw!

Behold!

I activate Hyper Rank-up-Magic Ultimate Force!

The moment is at hand.

I will rank up Utopia into its highest form of existence.

Hyper Xyz Evolution!

Witness the pinnacle of prominence.

Number -- Utopic Dragon!

Utopic Dragon?

How am I gonna b*at that thing?

You cannot.

That was the whole point of summoning this monster.

Furthermore, Utopic Dragon can resurrect

one Number from my graveyard.

Return to me, Number -- Utopia Beyond!

Not again!

Utopic Dragon, att*ck Utopic Future!

Oh, please!

You couldn't destroy Utopic Future last time,

and you're also gonna fail this time.

But that's fine with me,

because I get to take control of your dragon.

I think not.

Due to Utopic Dragon's additional special ability,

it uses one Overlay Unit to avoid destruction.

Then it destroys all other monsters on the field.

Oh, great.

(all gasping)

Nice try, but you won't destroy my monster!

By using one Overlay Unit, Utopic Future isn't destroyed.

Too bad, Astral, but I foiled your plan.

That was never my plan.

What?

My plan was to destroy my own monster,

because you now take damage

equal to Utopia Beyond's att*ck points.

(screaming)

Oh, no!

Utopia Beyond has att*ck points.

This is gonna wipe Yuma out!

(screaming)

Yuma!

I activate Utopic Future's special ability!

Use one Overlay Unit!

By doing so, I take no damage.


I end my turn.

You survived.

This is our last duel together.

I don't want it to end.

It's my turn!

I'm feeling the flow.

I draw!

Yah!

Utopic Future, att*ck Utopic Dragon!

Now I gain control of your monster.

Not quite!

Utopic Dragon refuses to fall under your command,

because its special ability destroys Utopic Future.

Like I'm gonna let that happen.

Utopic Future uses one Overlay Unit to avoid being destroyed.

Yeah! And I'm not done yet.

I activate the trap Hi-Five the Sky.

Utopic Future loses all its special abilities,

but it gets to att*ck again.

But without its special abilities, it'll be destroyed!

That will be catastrophic!

Next I'll play the trap Memories of Courage!

Utopic Future gains att*ck points

for every Number in our graveyards.

Since there are eight Numbers,

Utopic Future powers up to a whopping att*ck points!

Memories of Courage has another effect.

Even though Utopic Future and Utopic Dragon

have the same number of att*ck points,

my monster can't be destroyed when they battle.

And if I destroy your monster, but don't deal you any damage,

Utopic Future can att*ck again!

(thinking) This is it.

If my next att*ck succeeds, I win.

(thinking) This is it.

If my next att*ck succeeds, I win.

Let's do this.

att*ck Astral directly!

That will not work.

I activate the trap the Door of Destiny.

The Door of Destiny?

That's the door that started it all!

We have come full circle, Yuma.

The door has not only stopped your att*ck,

but you will take points of damage

for every Number that I banish from my graveyard.

Therefore, if you fail to destroy this door

right now, Yuma, you will lose this duel.

Destroy the door?

I can't do that.

How can I destroy something that represents

everything that happened between us?

Because, Yuma, it is your destiny.

Whoever can open this door will gain a great, new power.

But know that with such a reward comes great risk.

You would lose that which is most valuable to you.

But then, that means...

What's valuable to me is you.

It's you, Astral.

Right now it's you.

I have to lose you too?

(Astral) You will never lose me, Yuma.

Play your card.

Play it, Yuma, for your future.

But if I do, if I b*at you,

you'll be gone from my life forever.

But how can I be gone when I live on in your heart?

Astral.

I'll do it.

I activate the spell Double or Nothing!

Utopic Future doubles its att*ck points and can att*ck again.

This is it, my final move!

Astral!

I'll never forget you, Astral.

You made me cry, you made me laugh,

you made me the best that I could be,

and I loved every moment of it.

And now, our future's waiting for us.

A future without you.

Utopic Future att*ck!

Rising Sun Future Slash!

Astral.

Nicely done, Yuma.

Thanks, pal.

It's the Numeron Code.

(all gasping)

It is time for us to part, Yuma.

I know.

Thank you.

Don't worry, I won't cry.

I have always enjoyed seeing your smile.

I will remember it, always.

Good-bye.

Astral!

No matter how many times I fall,

no matter how many times I get laughed at,

I promise to keep trying to high-five the sky,

'cause when you're feeling the flow, there's no going back!

Astral, we'll miss you.

Thanks, Astral.


Thanks for everything.

We're friends forever!

Likewise, Yuma.

Friends until the end of time!

Bye, Astral!

My final observation--

even galaxies apart, friendship is forever.

I'm gonna b*at you this time, Bronk!

It'd help if you slowed down a bit though.

Here's some advice-- try lightenin' your load.

All right, Bronk, here I come!

And remember, loser has to do whatever the other one says!

Bronk's... so... fast.

Can't believe that I lost!

Well, believe it, Yuma, or should I say Rainbow Kuriboh?

Rainbow Kuriboh?

What are you talking about, Rio?

Bronk won your race and he's letting me decide your fate,

and I say you have to dress as Rainbow Kuriboh for a week.

You know, you'd think since my pal Astral used the Numeron Code

to turn you and the other Emperors human again,

you'd go easier on me.

Would you rather dress as Gagaga Girl?

Uh, never mind.

He's the best dweeb a friend could ask for.

Mira, I hope Astral knows how thankful we are.

Of course he does, Kazuma.

What he did-- bringing us back home,

and all of Yuma's friends-- he is truly remarkable.

Orbital, power up your processors

and set your servos on high.

You and your family have some data to digest.

Yes, sir!

(robots) Yes, sir!

Gigakids, get your gears going!

I'll work with Byron, sir.

All right, then, let's dissect some dimensions.

(Yuma) Yep, things are back to normal.

Studying hard, watching what I eat, sharing with my sis,

helping out, b*ating Bronk, high-fiving the sky.

Everything's just like it was, except one thing-- Astral.

(sighing)

(whirring)

My key, what's it trying to tell me?

Yuma!

(gasping)

What are you all doing here?

Since when did you all become besties?

Sorry to interrupt your little date, but we got trouble.

There's something out there

that wants your buddy's home to go bye-bye!

Astral's in trouble?

(thunder crashing)

An evil is gathering, strengthening its forces.

It is a power unlike anything I have ever witnessed before.

I fear a dangerous new battle lies before us.

Will you fight?

Yes, but not alone.

We're really doing this?

We're going to Astral World?

Yeah, Astral totally needs our help.

He helped all of us, and now we can return the favor.

Your boosters better not fail or I'm trading you in.

Aye-aye, Master Kite!

I hope you brought your "A" game, Quattro.

Like I have anything but an "A" game.

Get real.

Dad, do you think the four of us have what it'll take to win?

You boys have not even begun to tap into your true powers.

The battle ahead may be the toughest ever.

We must expect the unexpected.

You have a Galaxy-Eyes master on your side.

How can we lose?

I'm ready to go the distance and KO the competition.

Yeah, I'm lookin' forward to havin' a really good brawl!

We can do this!

Um, you sure?

There's no way you can get this job done without me.

Vector?

You're not planning to double,

triple or quadruple-cross us are you?

Don't worry, just trust in the Ray Way and we'll be fine.

Yeah, as long as you don't mind guard dogs and rose bushes.

(Astral) I do not know what the future holds,

but if the past is my guide to tomorrow,

I do not fear the unknown,

for the friendships I have forged have shown me

that high-fiving the sky can overcome any obstacles

that get in one's way.

Yuma? Yeah?

I just wanted you to know that I'm Gagaga over you!

You ready to help Astral?

Yeah!

I am ready to high-five the sky!

You don't have to feel scared or alone, Astral.

(all) 'Cause we're feelin' the...

Flow!
