Chapter 90

With the first victory against the Academia, they have a new base and it is protected by the Different Dimension Ship. Yuya says, "Even though we have our first victory, we still can't lower our guard, since who knows when Academia will come back."

"I agree." Yuni says. "Not only that, we also have the secret figure who stole our Number Cards..."

As the Sakaki Siblings are now at the base as they are planning for the second attack, Numbers 96 is watching in the shadows as he smiles, "Now it's time to get those to help me..." He the goes outside and created a mansion out of nowhere. "Now if you dare come..." He laughs maliciously.


As Yuya and the others are outside, they notice the mansion and Yuni asks, "Brother, is this supposed to be here?"

"I don't know. I thought that all the buildings were destroyed by Academia." Yuya says.

Katrina says, "Yeah, and I can feel something suspicious inside the mansion as well."

The four Sakaki Siblings decide to check out on their own as they enter the door, all they could see are dresses inside the room and the dolls with creepy faces.

"Okay, if this is some kind of spooky house then tell me." Vivian says with a deep breath.

Just then, they hear footsteps as they see a female doll walking towards them. "Welcome...to my doll house. I am Princess Cologne..."

Yuya looks at her and says, "You look like a living doll, what do you want with us?"

"I can't allow you to leave this place. If you lose, then I'll turn you guys into my collection." Cologne says with a smirk that sends them shivers.

"Turn us into your collections...don't tell me that if we lose we are going to turn into dolls..." Katrina says.

"But we can't get out of here unless we duel her. I guess we have no other choice." Yuya says.

"Then let me duel her." Katrina says as she activates her Duel Disk. "So the vampire is going to duel me, interesting." She also activates her duel disk, with the Field Magic Crossover activates, they both yell, "Duel!" (Katrina:4000)(Cologne:4000)

Cologne says, "I'll get the first turn. I summon Toy Box." (ATK:0/DEF:0 LV:1)

As a box with all kinds of toys inside appear, she says, "I activate Magic Card: Mix Up." As a bomb appears and she says, "I destroy one monster on my field and I choose Toy Box."

"What?" Yuya and the others are surprised. "Did she just destroy her monster? What is she thinking?" Yuya mutters.

"When Toy Box has been destroyed on my field, I summon 4 Normal Monsters with different names but their ATK and DEF were 0 from my deck in Defense mode."

Just then, Doll Monster Kumacchi, Doll Monster Dra-kun, Doll Monster Robo-chin and Doll Monster Girl-chan appear on the field. Vivian says, "Four level 4 monsters at once!"

"Is she going to Xyz Summon on the first turn?" Yuni wonders.

"Unfortunately, monsters summoned with Toy Box can't be used in an Xyz Summon. I'll end my turn here." Cologne says.

"That sure is an odd strategy. Was she shoring up her defenses?" Astral wonders.

"My turn." Katrina says, "I summon Blood Sucker Heal Bandage." (ATK:1700/DEF:2000 LV:4) As the monster appears, she says, "With this effect, I have five cards in my hand, so I can draw 5 cards."

As she draws five cards, she says, "With the Scale 2 Blood Sucker Crazy Clown and Scale 6 Blood Sucker Unshown Mask, I set the Pendulum Scale!"

As a Clown that has a white face and looks creepy along with a person behind a mask with no face appear on the field, with 2 and 6 under it.

"I use the Pendulum Effect of Crazy Clown, I can double my Mask's scale!" (Scale:6-12)

"With this I can summon monsters from 3 to 11! " Katrina says.

As the red pendulum swings, Katrina chants, "Now born from the darkness, come with the swing of night time and appear for a hunt! Pendulum Summon! Come forth, my two Eyeing Cobras (ATK:1500/DEF:2000 LV:5 PS:6) And then Dark Bat!" (ATK:1400/DEF:1300 LV:4)

Once the four monsters appear, Katrina says, "I attack all your monsters with my four monsters!" This causes Cologne to be surprised. After the dolls are gone, Katrina says, "I set one card and end my turn."

"Nice, now her field is empty, but what will be happening?" Yuya asks in wonder.

"How dare you...how dare you hurt my dolls!" Cologne is in rage, and the others are surprised. "My turn! I activate Field Magic: Doll House! It lets me special summon Normal Doll Monsters from my deck. There is one fewer then the number destroyed last turn, but they're all two levels higher. Come out and play, dolls!"

Just then, besides Dra-kun, all the monsters are returned to the field, but their levels are now six and then they have the name Customized in the end. Not only that, they have some special appearance change as their ATK goes to 1000.

"There are wings growing out of the robot's head, and a tail on the girl's stomach. Not to mention there is a foot on the bear's head as well." Vivian says.

"Wait, they've got parts from the missing monster stuck to them?" Yuni says, "That's kinda creepy."

"That's right!" Cologne says, "When my dolls break, Grandpa Demetto fixes them for me."

"Grandpa Demetto?" The four of them are confused, but then they see that on top of the doll house, there is a ragged doll sitting on top of it with one of its eyes popping out of it. Manibus says, "So he is also a doll as well, but the difference is that it is broken."

"Yeah..." Vivian says.

"Grandpa Demetto fixes dolls...when they get thrown away or broken! Make fun of him, and I'll never forgive you!" Cologne yells, causing the four of them to feel her aura.

"Now go! My dolls! Attack Eyeing Cobra!"

"What? My ATK is higher!" Katrina is shocked. Then the dolls are destroyed by the snake and then she gets damage. (Cologne:4000-2500)

"I set one card and end my turn." Cologne says.

Katrina says, "My turn." But as she draws the card, Cologne says, "And my Doll House's effect continues!"

"What?" They are shocked to see that the doll and the bear appear once more and this time they got features from the robot and their ATK goes to 2000. Not to mention that they are now Level 8.

"Two Level 8 monsters?" Vivian asks. "This isn't good."

"I don't know what you are planning, but I am going to overlay my Healing Banadge and Dark Bat. Creature of the Undead, burst from the ground and start your rampage! Xyz Summon! Come forth! Blood Sucker Rampaging Zombie!" (ATK:2000/DEF:2500 RNK:4)

"Good, now-" Yuya says, but Cologne laughs, "You fell for it! I activate Quick Xyz!"

"What? Quick Xyz?" This causes shock to them. "Now?"

"I overlay my two level 8 Dolls! Appear Numbers 22! Come save me! Franken!" Just then, Numbers 22 Franken appears on the field. (ATK:4500/DEF:1000 RNK:8) Yuya says, "So all this time she is a Duel spirit who got a Number Card?"

"Not to mention, of all the monsters, why should it be the one with the most ATK, Numbers 22: Franken?" Yuni groans.

Katrina says, "I am not going to worry, since my monster has a special effect. By detaching one overlay unit, when this monster is battling, I can switch their ATKs."

"Your silly effect won't work." Cologne says, "By discarding one card from my hand and using one overlay unit, Franken can negate any monster effect, trap or Magic card on your field."

"What?" Katrina gasps. Yuni says, "Not only that...when he uses the effect on a monster card, that monster has to battle Franken."

"No way..." Vivian says.

"Beat them like a rug! Franken! Zombie Fist!" Franken punches the zombie as Katrina is blasted back. (Katrina:4000-1500)

"That is some serious power..." Yuya says.

Katrina says, "Then I overlay my two Eyeing Cobras! King of the monsters, bringing terror and have feast on the enemies!"

As the two monsters become purple swirls and goes into a portal, a king with a black clothing and Vampire fangs appear on the field.

"Xyz Summon! Come forth! Rank 5! Blood Sucker Vampire King!" (ATK:2400/DEF:2000 RNK:5 PS:8)

Katrina uses the monster in Defense Mode, Yuni says, "Good choice, Vampire King can steal its effect."

"But then won't it be destroyed?" Vivian asks.

"No, Franken's effect is once per turn." Yuya says.

Cologne says, "But with his ATK, Franken will go right through any defense monster!" But Katrina quickly grabs an Action Card using her speed. "Action Magic: Evasion. I negate the attack."

But as the monster blocks the attack, Vivian asks, "She isn't going to use her effect?"

"I guess she doesn't have cards that she doesn't need in her hand."

"You got it right, I activate Curse of the Dolls." As she shows a Magic Card, she says, "I have five or more Doll Monsters in my graveyard, so it destroys a monster on the field."

As the King is destroyed, Katrina grits her teeth. "I set one card and end my turn." Cologne says with a smirk. "Now what are you going to do?"

Katrina says, "I Pendulum Summon, come forth, Princess of the monsters, use your beauty to attract others and suck their blood! Blood Sucker Vampire Princess!" (ATK:3000/DEF:2500 LV:8 PS:11)

As the princess appears, she says, "Lady Katrina, am I supposed to fight this thing?"

"No, I am going to end my turn for now." Katrina says, causing the others to be shocked.

Vivian says, "She sure is tough, don't you think, Brother? Sister?"

"But I think there is something to it." Yuni says. "Why are you fighting us? What hatred do you have for us that you wanted to change us into dolls?"

Princess Cologne flinches, then she lowers her head, "Even I...had a happy life once. But I was thrown away..."

She starts to recall the memory as she was just a normal doll, and she had an owner who loved her. But one time, she was taken by her owner to the hill where the Duel Lodge is, and then the owner accidentally dropped her on the way. And then it was taken by what seems to be a patrol, who then threw her into the garbage dump. It was after Academia's invasion, Numbers 96 approached her and then give her the card, in return she has to fight them.

"I never, never ever...wanna be that miserable little doll again!" She cries.

Katrina frowns and she lowers her head, "I am sorry..."

"Huh?" This causes all of them to be curious. Katrina says, "I remembered now...ever since I came to Heartland...I lived with Kurosaki family. Cologne...she was my birthday gift that was given to me from Ms. Kurosaki..."

This causes them to gasp, Katrina says, "Since I was a half Vampire, I still had the urge to drink blood, so I got to the hill back then to drink blood from wild animals...even still, Cologne was my friend and I couldn't make her leave out of my sight...Until that day...I was so into drinking blood and I never noticed that Cologne went missing. I tried to find her...but...I never find her again..."

"So that is the reason why you targeted us? You wanted revenge on Katrina?" Yuya asks.

"That's right...I couldn't forget the pain that she threw me away...Which is why I am going to make her feel the same! Franken! Attack!"

As Franken tries to attack, but it stops. "Huh? Why?"

Then they see that Cologne faces away from Katrina and then Yuni says, "Vivian, since you read a lot of ghost stories, do you remember one story called Frankenstein?"

"Of course I knew." Vivian says. "The monster created by Frankenstein killed people...because he was jealous of others having love. But..."

Yuya says, "The monster wants to feel love, which is why he can't attack female monsters. And that is one of the effect of the Franken."

Vampire Princess is stunned as Franken tries to deliver the flowers to her. Vampire Princess looks a little uncomfortable, as she decides to show him the face through the mirror. "And the reason why he was abandoned by others...is because of his face." Yuni sighs. Cologne just sets her final card in her hand as she ends her turn.

Katrina says, "I have to end this, my turn." She draws a card and says, "I activate Zombie Synchro! With this card I can perform a Synchro Summon using monsters in my graveyard as materials! I tune Level 5 Eyeing Cobra with Level 5 Eyeing Cobra! Prince of the monsters, fight for the rich blood and eliminate your enemies! Synchro Summon! Come! LV10! Vampire Prince!" (ATK:2700/DEF:2200 LV:10 PS:2)

As the prince appears, the Princess quickly hide behind the prince as Franken feels heartbroken. Yuya says, "Katrina must have felt so well."

"Yeah, it was just like the time when Lisa was jealous of her and Shun..." Yuni says.

"Since your hand is 0, which means that you can't use your last overlay unit. I use Prince's effect to destroy your monster." As the prince manages to kill the monster, Cologne is surprised as Katrina says, "I am sorry, but finish this. Vampire ' song!" Katrina says.

The voice reaches to Cologne as she falls back down. (Cologne:2500-0) But the voice causes the torches to fall and it causes flames in the room.

"Oh no, Cologne!" Katrina rushes into the flame, much to the others' shock. "Katrina. Get back here, it's too dangerous!" Yuya yells.

"I made a mistake of throwing Cologne away, so this time I am going to save her." Katrina says as she tries to find Cologne. But then Grandpa Demetto appears and he holds Cologne in his arms.

"Colone Child...you lost the duel. Soon, you'll lose your soul too. But I'll give you mine." Then he throws her to Katrina's arms and Cologne yells, "No! Grandpa Demetto!" She yells.

"Cologne, rekindle your friendship with your owner...that is my last wish." The Grandpa Demetto disappear into hugs Katrina tight as she cries. Katrina and the other Sakaki Siblings feel the same sadness as they hug closer.

"I am sorry...Cologne...this time I promise I won't leave you alone again, can you please forgive me?" Katrina says. And this time, Cologne nods and then she says, "I am sorry as well...to drag you into this...If it wasn't for my selfishness...Grandpa Demetto won't gone as well..."

"It's fine." Katrina says. Then they quickly leave the mansion before the flames block the exit.


"Where have you been?" After Yuya and the others are back at the base, the others are worried as Yuzu yells at them. Yuya says, "Sorry, but we have some things that happened..."

Ruri notices the doll in Katrina's arms, she says, "Isn't that...you found it?"

Katrina hugs her tightly and says, "Yeah, I found it, Princess Cologne has been back."

The Kurosaki family are happy for her, but then Rumi asks, "But where did you find her?"

Yuni says, "You won't believe it, but she actually has a soul inside her."

"A soul inside a doll? How is that possible?" Reisho asks.

"I was given the soul." Everyone are shocked to see the doll talks. "I don't know who gave me the soul, but all I knew is that he wanted me to defeat the Sakaki Siblings for my revenge."

"I see." Yusho says with a small smile. "At least your precious doll is back, Katrina."

"Yeah. This time I am not going to lose it just like before." Katrina says as she continues to hug the doll.

Reisho says, "By the way, Yuni, I found these cards." He shows Numbers 52: Diamond Crab King and Numbers 82: Heart Monster Heartlandraco. Yuni says, "Where did you find them?"

Rio says, "Numbers 52 tried to control me, but due to the fact that I have Barian powers, it failed to control me. As for Numbers 82, it tried to control Dr. Faker. But Kaito saved him after beating him in a duel."

"I see. And with the Numbers 22 that I got today, we had 3 Number Cards back." As she shows them the card, Rumi says, "An ATK of 4500? No way..."

"It's true after all." Yuni says, "But we should have some rest for now, and we should give some time for Cologne and Katrina alone." The others nod as they go to rest.


Here is a new chapter and this time I add Cologne into the story. But I made some different changes, I hope you like it and the next chapter will be another Number battle.
