Numbershot 99: No More Falsehood
Chapter 6
Yuma's irises and pupils seemed to shrink upon hearing Astral's words. "K… Kaa-chan… That monster is… being powered by Kaa-chan?!" He whimpered, looking back at Photon Future Destroyer.
"I suppose the secret is out!" The Distributor said, snapping his fingers. The shadows around the figure receded, showing that was, indeed, Yuma's mother, Mirai Tsukumo. Her face was one of agony soullessness, her eyes glowing and having bags under them.
"K-Kaa-chan!" Yuma and Akari cried.
"Mirai… Vector trapped you as well…?" Dr. Faker breathed.
Another laugh escaped Vector. "That's a funny tale as well! Even more hilarious than Kazuma's story!"
*Flashback*
The Distributor, Vector within him, wandered within the Barian World. "We've spent three years roaming here pointlessly! Why am I letting you inhabit my body again?" He growled.
"I gave you your soul, fool! You carry me within you as payment!" Vector said. "I'm certain a gate will open soon! I can feel it, hahahahahahahaha!"
"You've been saying that for months!" The Distributor said, annoyed. All of a sudden, he heard a warped ripping noise. "Nani?"
"Heeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeheeh ee! Over there!" Vector directed the man to a portal that was suddenly ripped open in the Barian space. "There's your way out! Go!" Grinning, the Distributor headed toward the portal and leapt through, landing on the ground in the human world.
He stood up and looked around. "Hmm… the gate must have appeared in a different area than before."
"Wh-Who are you?!" A female voice cried. Raising an eyebrow, the Distributor turned around, coming face-to-face with a woman with red eyes and long orange hair. She looked rather spooked.
"Hmm?" The Distributor mused. He didn't know this woman at first, but then the memories of his new soul's body kicked in. "Oh… so that's who you are." A smirk appeared on his face.
"You… You know me?" The woman asked. "Just who are you?"
The man chuckled. "Oh, I believe you know who I am…" Red energy coated his hands, an image of Vector appearing behind him. "Honey!" As Mirai gasped, the man fired a cloud of red energy that covered her body, trapping her.
Red lightning struck across her body, causing her intense pain. "AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Mirai shrieked. "ANATAAAAAAAAA!"
"Anata's no longer here, Mirai!" The Distributor mused as the energy began to obscure her from view. "I'll tell Yuma you died a hero! AH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" The energy complete covered Mirai, shrinking with her and ending up in the form of a card, which the Distributor grabbed: Photon Number Destroyer. Another evil laugh escaped the Distributor's mouth.
*End Flashback*
"Perhaps I shouldn't have told her that I'd say she died a hero." The Distributor mused, looking at his monster. "If she wasn't alive, she couldn't power my ultimate monster! Hahahahahahahahahaha!"
Yuma's teeth were gritting. "I swear I'll grind you into red bean paste if I ever get my hands on you, you son of a bitch!" He shouted at Vector.
"Hahahahahahahahahaha! Your fury only makes me laugh, young one!" Vector jeered. "Distributor, why don't we add a little misery to Kaito's life?!" Kaito gasped.
"Oh, there's an idea!" The Distributor mused. "You see, Kaito, if a monster is Summoned through the effect of Rank-Up Magic – Barian's Heart, it induces a similar effect to another card of mine known as Number Bond, ending the life of any Duelist whose Life Points are reduced to zero by a battle from it!"
"Nani?!" Kaito gasped.
"Tou-chan!" Haruto cried.
"Your monster doesn't have enough power to cause such damage!" Dr. Faker told him. "Under these circumstances, it will be your life that ends!"
Number 99 ATK:4500
Photon Future Destroyer ATK:4200
The Distributor chuckled darkly. "You honestly have no idea what you're DEALING WITH! Photon Future Destroyer no kouka hatsudo! Once per turn, by detaching an Overlay Unit, I can reduce the Attack Points of all Number monsters on the field to zero!" An Overlay Unit was absorbed into the glass sphere that contained Mirai, causing the red lightning to start up again.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Mirai shrieked as the lightning struck her.
"STOP! Stop hurting her!" Akari cried.
"Pain is mandatory in life, Akari! You can't stop it once it occurs!" The Distributor laughed. With a loud roar, Photon Future Destroyer let out a surge of red lightning across the whole field. Prism King Kakuchon was struck right through the chest with the lightning, leaving a gaping hole. However, Galaxy-Eyes Baryon Dragon was struck down with powerful force, slamming on the ground with a pained roar.
Photon Future Destroyer: 2 Overlay Units
Number 51 ATK:0
Number 99 ATK:0
"B… Bakana…" Dr. Faker whimpered, his eyes deathly wide.
"Faker!" Byron cried.
"GAME OVER, FAKER!" The Distributor yelled, his eyes manic. "Photon Future Destroyer… OBLITERATE HIM!" Red lightning crackled across the huge monster's body, being conducted to its tail, branching down them and being conducted to the hands. When the hands were charged, they moved up to its head and conducted the lightning to it, making the eyes glow harshly. "FUTURE… CANCELING… STREAM!" With a roar, the helmet mouth opened and fired a HUGE red laser covered with red lightning that barreled toward the downed dragon. Galaxy-Eyes Baryon Dragon could only look up weakly before it was completely obliterated by the laser, its pained roar echoing as it was reduced to nothing.
"NO!" Dr. Faker cried. Then, out of nowhere, a stray bolt of lightning shot out from ground zero, barreling right toward him. It was solid, and it pierced him right through the chest, making his eyes go dull.
Kaito's eyes went deathly wide. "TOU-SAN!" He cried. The lightning around the field finally ceased, then Faker limply fell over backwards, landing on the ground.
Distributor LP:100
Faker:0 – LOSER
"Hahahahaha… Ahahahahahaha, AHAHAHAHAHAHA, AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" The Distributor laughed as the Augmented Reality began to vanish. "Your future has just, been, destroyed." Photon Future Destroyer roared before being covered with red energy, being reduced to Photon Number Destroyer before it vanished with the Augmented Reality.
"Tou-chan!" Haruto cried, rushing to Dr. Faker's side, followed by the others. Dr. Faker appeared to still be alive, but his wound was grisly. He was groaning weakly. Haruto fell to his knees beside him, his eyes tearing. "Tou-chan…"
Kaito was rigid. "T… Tou-san…" He breathed.
"Uhh…" The man groaned. "Kaito…" Kaito gasped. Faker slowly turned to look at him. "Gomen-nasai… for everything… I never wanted you… or anyone… to suffer…" He looked at Byron. "I cannot take back what I did, Byron… and I cannot be forgiven… but I have peace knowing you are alive…"
"Dr. Faker…" Byron breathed, fearful. "You are not the monster I believed… You were as much a victim…"
"And Yuma… Akari…" Faker groaned. "It is… up to you… You must save… Kazuma and Mirai…"
"You aren't dead yet?" The Distributor said, annoyed. "Vector, was Barian's Heart defective?"
"It was probably a bad trajectory." Vector replied.
"Kaito… I trust you with this…" Faker weakly held out Number 99. "Use it… to defeat Vector… Make him pay… for everything he did to us…"
Kaito shakily took the card from him. His eyes were beginning to tear. "I will protect it with all my soul."
Faker allowed a small smile. "I have tried to save us… and failed. Please… don't let me die in vain…" His eyes closed slowly with a final groan.
Haruto gasped. "Tou-chan? Tou-chan, no!" He began shaking Faker's body, frantic. Tears were streaming down his face. "Please, please wake up!" Faker did not wake up or even move.
"Haruto… stop." Kaito said. "Let him go. He gave his life to try and aid us."
The younger boy was shaking. "Tou-chan…" He whimpered. The dam broke and he began crying loudly, leaning over his father's dead body. Yuma and Kotori held onto each other tightly, Akari placing her hands on their shoulders. Kaito knelt down and hugged his brother, Haruto turning to cry into his chest. Kaito began to cry as well. "Gomen-nasai, Nii-san… I shouldn't have gone with you…"
"Don't apologize, Haruto…" Kaito breathed. Jenaveve knelt down and hugged the two of them.
The Arclights, however, turned their attention to the Distributor. "You monster… You forced Kazuma to murder his own friend! Have you no conscience?!" Byron growled
"Conscience? I don't even know what that word means, ahahahahahahahahaha!" Vector laughed. "The outcomes when you face me are life and death!"
"You should be lucky I didn't kill your middle son after he failed me the most recent time!" The Distributor said cockily, making Marcus glare.
Kaito slowly stood up, Haruto still clinging to him, and turned around, glaring at the Distributor, not bothering to wipe his tears. "You… I will make you pay this… for EVERYTHING you've put us through!"
"That's a line I've heard multiple times… and a line that no one's ever made good on." The Distributor said. "You and I will meet again, but if you really want to stand a chance at truly defeating me… then collect the rest of the Numbers!" He tossed Numbers 51 and 50 at Kaito, who caught them. "I still have 21 Numbers under my control, and there are still others out there! Find them all, if you think you still have the mental fortitude!" His hand was covered by red energy. "Farewell, fools!" Swiping his hand, he and Vector were covered by the red energy. The energy dissipated, showing that they were gone, but both their laughs continued to echo through the air.
Kaito's fist clenched, nearly digging his nails into his palms. "Kaito-sama… Are you all right?"
"I'll be fine, Orbital." Kaito replied, though Orbital didn't quite believe him. The older Tenjo wiped his tears away with his sleeve. "Tou-san is not our enemy… Vector is. Tou-san has died in the line of duty… but now the torch is ours. We must not let him die in vain."
"We're behind you all the way, Kaito." Yuma said. "That monster has my parents trapped, and I'm not going to take that sitting down!"
"Too many lives have been ruined by him… He must pay the ultimate price!" Chris added.
Kaito nodded, then he looked at Number 99. "Tou-san… Kazuma… Mirai… You will all be avenged." The boy glared at the sky. "Vector… we're coming for YOU!"
