Hi everyone! Or...one person reading this. I Just wanted to firstly thank you for deciding to read this, and secondly I wanted to explain a couple things
First: This is AFTER all of Yugioh Zexal, so Astral won't be here (until later in the story), R...
I walked over to Vetrix and held my hand out. The final Mythyrian number we needed flew right into my hand, the other six joining it. Vetrix slowly stood up and looked at me as his mask dropped from his face, showing me...what lied underneath.

Vetrix:...Well...you won. I hope you know what you're doing, YN, and I hope you know who exactly the people you're working with are. Just know that the others won't be so keen on you doing all this, no matter the goal. Yuma and the others will be sure to put an end to this whole plan.
He turned to Don Thousand.
Vetrix: And for your sake, you better hope Astral doesn't catch wind of this, either. He'll tear you apart just like before.
He then grabbed his mask and slipped it on.
Vetrix: Don't say I didn't warn you, YN.
As he left, I stood unmoving for a bit.
YN: *Thinking* He...wasn't wrong. I'll have to face off a lot of friends that I made...a lot of people I care about...or are they really my friends? They lied to me about what happened to the Barian Emperors, they're the ones who made them the husks they are now, they're liars...! Yeah, they...wait...what am I-
Don Thousand: Lord Shalk.
I jump at the sound of his voice, turning to him.
YN: Yeah...?
Don Thousand held his hand out.
Don Thousand: Please, allow me to hold the Mythyrian numbers for you. The power they hold might be too much for you at the moment.
I nod and slowly hold the cards out to him, but Vetrix's earlier words played in my head. Don Thousand wanting power, him wanting the cards for his own goal...I retract my hand.
YN: I...I'll be fine. As long as I don't use them, their power won't do anything to me. Plus I already use one, and I was fine after a bit.
Don Thousand narrows his eyes, but nods.
Don Thousand: Very well then...I suppose we'll then move onto the next part of our plan.
YN: Yeah. The numbers owned by the Barian Emperors.
Crown: The real challenge.
Quin: Well, it would be a challenge already if it were just us facing those seven. Unfortunately, as we've learned, the others have been notified of what we're up to, which means we have countless more enemies that will be aiming to challenge us.
Kona: Specifically, the people that beat the Emperors before.
YN: Right...in that case, we need a plan, but...I can only think of one solution.
Kalimba: What's that?
YN:...I search for and duel the Emperors myself.
Kalimba: Woah- what? No way! Leaving you to do everything alone is a terrible idea, I-
