Yugioh ZEXAL: Bonds of Hope

Chapter 21: Hunting the Number Hunter Part 1

Yuma: Shark! C'mon! Wake up! Can you hear me? Please, you gotta snap out of it! Yuma said desperately trying to wake him up.

Bronk: Oh man, this looks bad.

Elsewhere...

Kite: Are you finished yet?

Orbital: A-Almost. The analysis is still running. I-I just have to complete this photon stream probe. I-If this works, it could help us figure out if this pendant really does come from another world, a-and just maybe what its real p-purpose is.

Kite: Find out everything you can. Dr. Faker is keeping something from me. But I'm going to uncover the truth.

Orbital: I-If Dr. Faker hears about this investigation, h-he'll go ballistic.

Kite: So will I if you don't get results.

Orbital: You can count on me!

At the hospital, Kai was visiting Rio.

Kai: Hey, Rio. Look, something bad happened to Shark. His soul was stolen by Kite. I told you about him, remember? He's a Number Hunter who takes Numbers and souls. I figured I stopped him before, but I guess I was dead wrong.

Rio:....

Kai: Rio, I'm gonna save Shark. He grips her hands softly. I promise. Kai was about to leave, but suddenly he felt Rio's hand tighten a bit around his hands. Huh?

Rio: Reg...inald...She said weakly.

Kai: Mm! He holds her hand tightly. I'll help him, Rio. Don't worry. Afterwards, Kai serves in Shark's room. Hey, guys?

Tori: Where have you been?

Kai: Just visiting a friend.

Is shark gonna be okay?

Caswell: The doctor says there's nothing wrong with him physically.

Cathy: Why doesn't he wake up then?

Yuma: Because Shark's soul has been stolen.

Bronk: Please, this is no time for jokes.

Haru: This isn't a joke, Bronk!

Caswell: I think he means it. Don't ya?

Yuma: Unfortunately, yeah Caswell. When that Number Hunter Kite wins a duel, he takes the loser's Number and their soul. He stole something else this time, too. My golden key. And Astral was inside it when kite took it and flew off. I have to get it back!

Kai: Same here. Cologne's probably in there too.

Bronk: They live in there?

Yuma: Yeah. I can't explain how it works, but it's true. As long as that key is with me, Astral is with me too.

Caswell: In the end, I'm afraid your key won't be easy to recover, especially if you don't know where Kite has gone.

Cathy: We'll help you find it Yuma!

Bronk: Sure, but how?

Caswell: If that key really is special, Kite will want to examine it. He'll most likely want to run some kind of computer analysis.

Kai: Ah! I got an idea! Kai stated.

Meanwhile...

Orbital: W-Well I'll be rebooted!

Kite: What is it?

Orbital: The pendant has its own gra-gravitational field I-inside!

Kite: Its own field? Is that possible?
