02x09 - Shark Bait

[bunniefuu]

Last time on yu-gi-oh! Zexal...

Quattrowhich of my fabulous fans should I take on today?

So many potential targets to choose from.

Quintonyour attitude seriously concerns me, quattro.

I take it you understand what your mission is today,

Don't you, trey?

Treyyes, brother.

The duelist they call shark is still trying to track down

Quattro.

Better hold on to this number card.

I have a feeling that you'll be running into each other very

Soon.

Yumathis is a strange place to have a duel.

Caswellquattro picked the spot.

Probably wanted some place quiet to avoid his fans.

I can't believe it's really you.

Hey bronk, who do you think should go first?

Bronki dunno.

I suppose all three of us could duel at once.

You two twerps are going down with a big bang!

My giant will destroy your feeble monsters,

And end this duel!

Torithis is horrible.

You maniac!

They looked up to you!

Why did you do this to them?

Let's just say that I find it highly entertaining.

Sharkhello quattro.

Let's duel!

This is payback day, quattro.

Hello, shark.

How are things?

You still upset about our duel at the nationals?

When you got kicked out.

That never would've happened if you didn't set me up.

You got me there.

By the way, how is that precious sister of yours doing?

Shark's got a sister?

What happened to her is all your fault.

I'll never forgive you.

You made me lose sight of who I am as a person and as a duelist!

I know I'll never get to change what I did back then.

But today, I get my revenge!

Well then let's duel.

Just make sure you don't peek at my deck.

What's this?

A duel anchor.

Now you and I can't separate until we finish our duel!

Trey, this is between shark and me.

You stay out of this!

I'm sorry.

But shark has no numbers, brother.

So there isn't any need for you to duel against him, now is

There? Vetrix always says our mission comes first.

I'll have to crush you later.

You can't leave!

Come on! I challenged you!

Well if you want me, make it to the finals.

I've already got my heart pieces.

Good luck shark.

Quattro!

Calm down.

You'll still get to duel, shark.

You just get to duel me instead!

Astrali have seen a duel anchor before.

Kite used one just like it against yuma.

Once it was attached, there was no escaping.

It would seem that quattro and his brother are indeed number

Hunters, but what purpose do they need numbers for?

Let's get caswell some help.

Right.

Hey, I better come with you guys.

No, you stay here and support shark.

We can take care of caswell, don't worry.

Yuma, I agree that you should remain here.

Alright.

I'll stay then.

Guess I'll have to deal with your brother after I beat you!

It's crunch time!

I'm prepped and primed.

Then let's settle this.

Ready when you are!

Computer voiceaugmented reality vision link established.

Let's duel!

I'll go first, okay shark?

Ready or not...

I draw!

To start I'll activate the field spell sunken kingdom!

Now any water attribute monsters that get played gain attack

Points!

He should've warned us we'd be underwater!

Give me an oxygen t*nk quick!

Yuma, this ocean is virtual, remember?

Next I summon my chronomaly mayan machine!

And now I'll end things with a facedown and turn it over to

You, shark!

What's that chronomono-thingy?

You mean chronomaly.

They are artifacts that are too advanced to have been built by

Your primitive ancestors.

Who made them or where they came from is a mystery.

Now, I draw!

I'm summoning hammer shark!

Thanks for playing this sunken kingdom field spell!

Since my hammer shark is a water monster, it gets

Attack points stronger!

Unfortunately for you, monsters that are level -or-below can't

Attack chronomaly monsters in the sunken kingdom.

Hammer shark is useless here!

You think this field can shield your monster.

But...

I have a falling current spell card!

This spell lets me pick a level for my monster between one and

Three.

So I'm gonna lower my hammer shark by one level!

I see your deck is full of surprises shark, but lowering

Your monster's level won't help you very much.

Tell that to big jaws!

Since I activated a spell card this turn, I can let big jaws

Loose to help me take a bite out of your strategy!

But before I do anything, big jaws powers up by points!

And now I'll overlay my level hammer shark and big jaws in

Order to build the overlay network!

Now I xyz summon

Black ray lancer!

Since xyz monsters don't have levels,

Sunken kingdom can't stop it from attacking your mayan

Machine.

All right!

Great move!

Black ray lancer, go!

Attack with shimmering spear slash!

Black ray lancer, go!

Attack with shimmering spear slash!

I activate stonehedge methods!

When my chronomaly monster is destroyed,

I can summon any rock-type chronomaly monster that's level

-Or-below in defense mode.

So I'm summoning chronomaly colossal head!

Guess I've done enough damage for one turn.

You're up.

If you insist.

I draw!

And I summon chronomaly golden jet!

And now I'm gonna activate the spell card orichalcum chain!

This chain gives me a missing link when I need it!

So when I want to xyz summon, I can do it using one fewer

Monster.

Really?

But, using this spell can be quite risky.

If my chain is destroyed,

You gain control of the xyz monster that I summoned with it!

But there's no way I'm going to let that happen, so do yourself

A favor and don't even bother trying.

It's time to put my spell card into action.

First I'll overlay level colossal head and golden jet!

Then with the help of my orichalcum chain I can build the

Overlay network!

I xyz summon

Number shark drake!

Very impressive.

It gets better.

Remember sunken kingdom will add three hundred attack points to

Shark drake's total!

Okay shark drake, strike down black ray lancer!

Go deep sea destruction!

I activate shark drake's special ability!

After it destroys a monster in battle, I can use an overlay

Unit to summon the monster it just destroyed back onto your

Field.

Only now it's a thousand attack points weaker!

Then shark drake can battle that monster all over again!

That's double the att*cks for me and double the pain for you!

That sounds totally unfair!

He can attack shark's monster again?

Indeed.

The ability is quite rare.

It is also quite effective.

Shark drake is the most relentless attacker you've ever

Seen. It's gonna destroy your monster all over again.

Go deep sea destruction!

Shark!

Shark!

You gonna be okay?

I'm gonna be fine!

One or two att*cks aren't enough to beat me.

Well just to be sure I'll give you a break and end my turn.

But if you don't find a way to stop shark drake, this duel is

Over.

What can shark do?

He's done for.

There is still one way for him to prevail in this duel.

I must take his number.

Your number's gonna be mine,

And I'll stop at nothing to get it!

I summon skull kraken!

And now I'm activating skull kraken's special ability.

Once I summon this monster, I can destroy a face-up spell or

Trap card that's on your field!

So I'm destroying your orichalcum chain!

I did it!

Shark drake is under my control now!

Perfect.

Now that you've done exactly what I wanted you to do, I can

Complete my mission.

Thanks for the help, shark.

What's wrong?

Number shark drakeshark.

You will let me enter your mind and soul.

With me as your ally,

You will no longer need the help of your so-called friends.

You're a good duelist.

I'll see ya around.

Thanks.

And hey, maybe we can do this again sometime.

Aw come on, I thought we were friends!

We are not friends, you got that?

Why would you even think that anyway?

Why would I think we're friends?

Because we dueled.

I am all that you need in this world. Let me take hold.

I don't need you.

I won't let you control me!

I'm in control and you will obey me!

Okay, let's go!

He should've been possessed by the number!

Shark has mastered number 's power.

No way!

Your plan backfired, trey.

Go get him, shark drake!

Deep sea destruction!

Do it!

If this works, trey will get damaged big time!

No I won't!

I activate the trap

Antikythira gear!

I can use this if you attack me directly when you have two or

More monsters on your field.

It lets me take control of your non-attacking monster and put it

In defense mode!

Not so fast!

I activate my own trap card!

Extreme pressure power lets me destroy one of my monsters and

Then draw a card from my deck.

Looks like I just out-trapped your trap.

Keep up with your attack. Come on shark drake!

I'll put two cards facedown and end my turn.

He's tougher than we thought.

My mission was simple. To give shark a number.

Once I finished my assignment, vetrix told me I should let

Shark win the duel.

But he never said that I had to make it easy for him!

Now shark, I draw!

And I play the spell chronomaly technology!

Now if I banish a chronomaly monster from my graveyard, I get

To draw two new cards from my deck.

Then I send one to the graveyard.

I summon chronomaly crystal bones in attack mode!

I can summon this card when you're the only one who has

Monsters on the field!

And crystal bones' special ability lets me bring back

Chronomaly crystal skull from the graveyard!

Rise up, crystal skull!

Now I overlay my level crystal skull and crystal bones.

With these two monsters I build the overlay network and xyz

Summon chronomaly crystal chrononaut!

If I use an overlay unit, it can't be destroyed in battle

This turn. And not only that, you will take the damage that I

Would've taken.

Say what?

To put it simply, your shark drake has a lot more attack

Points than my chronomaly crystal chrononaut!

A thousand more!

And those extra points are gonna come right at you!

Crystal chrononaut,

Attack shark drake!

Go reflect flash!

Attack shark drake!

Not good!

If this attack works, then...

Face it, shark.

You are sunk!

Then I'll get un-sunk!

With the spell plate salvage!

It's time for a change of scenery.

Now your field spell sunken kingdom can't work for two

Turns!

Whoa!

Who drained the bathtub?

That means sunken kingdom's effect is history!

So now shark drake loses attack points!

Brilliant!

By eliminating the field spell's effect, shark lowered his

Monster's attack points to limit its damage and save himself.

Only they're both down to just three hundred life points!

This next attack should determine the winner.

I can't believe it!

Shark is great at thinking on his feet.

So I'm sure he'll try to use shark drake's special ability.

I should just let him win this duel, but where's the fun in

That?

I'm ending my turn!

Throw your best at me, shark!

I draw!

Okay shark drake, shatter that crystal chrononaut!

Not so fast!

I'll use colossal head's special ability to put the brakes on

Shark drake!

When I banish this chronomaly monster from my graveyard, I can

Switch the monster on my field from attack to defense mode!

I don't like this.

Trey can't take damage when a monster is in defense mode!

Perhaps.

I activate shark drake's special ability!

By using an overlay unit when shark drake destroys a monster

In battle, it can bring it back onto your field, but don't

Forget, the revived monster now has one thousand less attack

Points! And that's gonna make you a prime target!

If you were hoping I'd forget shark drake's special ability,

You were wrong.

So now attack, shark drake!

Actually I was right.

You see, I knew you'd master that number's special ability.

So I'm ready with my trap chronomaly ley line power!

A trap?

Exactly!

It's a trap that can exchange the attack points of the two

Monsters that are battling!

So now my chrystal chrononaut is stronger than shark drake!

Sorry, shark. But it's over.

Yes it is.

You see, I expected you to pull a move like that.

So I had the ultimate counter card up my sleeve to finally put

An end to this duel.

It's the trap card sea king's verdict!

If your trap card activated during a battle, this one

Cancels it out!

Cancels it out?

Shark drake, let's finish this duel and finish them off!

Amazing!

Shark totally reeled that guy in!

This was a most impressive victory.

Not bad, shark.

You get this win, but next time will be different.

I made it to the finals.

And I look forward to facing you there.

How did he win so many duels already?

You can hold onto that number card if you want.

Think of it as a souvenir of our duel.

Where'd he go?

Yuma!

How's caswell, tori?

He'll be okay!

The med team told us he just needs lots of rest.

That's great!

I'll be over as soon as I can.

Shark, wait!

Listen yuma, I want you to keep your distance.

I still have a score to settle with quattro!

But shark!

Why isn't he letting us help him?

Come back!

Now that shark has another number, we will certainly have

To duel him again someday.

Vetrixthat was excellent work, trey.

Shark won't suspect a thing because of the way you let him

Win.

To be honest, I think shark would have won no matter how

Hard I tried.

You're just being modest as usual.

But sir, shark wasn't possessed by the number so I failed.

Not at all.

Your mission was a success!

There is now a seed of darkness inside shark's soul that will

Grow over time, consuming him completely!
