Sorry about the long wait, but between Christmas shopping, decorating, relatives visiting, and school mid terms, I haven't had much time to write. Also, hope y'all liked the fanfic character I added, because this story is going to have a lot of them!
Chapter 3: The Ice Birds Vs Ice Royals
Current Status of Duel:
Shark: 3100 Life Points
Keto: 2500 Life Points
Shark's Field:
Number 32 Shark Drake: Rank 4/WATER/Sea Serpent/2800 Atk/2100 Def
Keto's Field:
Number 17 Leviathan Dragon: Rank 3/WATER/Dragon/3000 Atk (Originally 2000)/0 Def
Shark's Turn:
"I draw!" Shark said. This wasn't good. He let his opponent's monster get more powerful than his, and he didn't have any monster with the power to take it down. But if he couldn't beat the Number, he would just have to get around it! "I summon Big Jaws!" Shark's metal mouthed monster appeared out of a torrent of water.
Big Jaws: Level 3/WATER/Fish/1800 Atk/300 Def
"Next, since I just summoned him, I can bring out Shark Stickers!" The blue shark appeared out of the same torrent of water as Big Jaws.
Shark Stickers: Level 3/WATER/Fish/200 Atk/1000 Def
"Now I can build the Overlay Network!" His two vanished into the golden portal.
"I XYZ SUMMON NUMBER 47: NIGHTMARE SHARK!"
Shark's newest Number's sealed form arose in the form of a dark blue twisted cylinder. The bat like wings burst open, revealing the monster's true form. True to its name, it looked nothing like a shark, but rather a shark/winged demon abomination with long human arms that sported silver blades, and a slender, spiked, blue tail that made up its lower body. The red 47 flashed on the dorsal fin on its back.
Number 47 Nightmare Shark: Rank 3/WATER/Sea Serpent/2000 Atk/2000 Def
"Doesn't matter what monster you summon; they can't beat my Leviathan Dragon!" Keto taunted.
"That may be true, but it doesn't matter once I activate Nightmare Shark's ability! By using one Overlay Unit, one monster on my field can attack you directly this turn!" Shark said with a smile.
"What?!" Keto said in shock.
"I choose Shark Drake! GO DEEP SEA DESTRUCTION!" The ghost shark shot out of Shark Drake's mouth, but went right past Leviathan Dragon and hit Keto, who was sent flying.
Keto: 2500 – 2800 = 0 (LOSE)
Winner: Shark
Shark then concentrated and the red hand appeared and took Number 17 out of Keto's body. "Yes! My third Number!" Shark said happily.
Shark then made his way home and locked the door behind him.
"Hello Reginald." A girl voice said.
Shark turned around and couldn't believe who he saw.
The next morning in Yuma's house Astral was observing Yuma prepare his deck.
"You should add Bound Wand, with that equipped with Gagaga Magician, you could create a powerful combo." Astral suggested.
"I was going to do that!" Yuma shouted back.
Astral then smiled, and looked up with a concerned look on his face.
"Is something wrong?" Yuma asked.
"That man, Fender, possessed a Number, but wasn't taken over by it. Instead he was taken over by something else."
"You mean that 'Rank Up Magic' card? What was the deal with that any way?"
"I'm not 100% certain, but I believe it has something to do with Barian World."
"Barian World?" Yuma asked.
"Yes. The Number we collected from Fender held a memory about me confronting a being who mentioned Barian World, and Fender did to, leading me to conclude that Barian World is a part of my past."
"If this Barian World is what possessed Fender than it's obviously bad! I mean, if it wants Numbers, then it can't be up to no good, right?" Yuma asked Astral.
"Yuma! You're going to be late for school if you don't hurry up!" Yuma's sister, Kari, yelled from down stairs.
Yuma then rushed to get ready. He was walking out the door when he saw Shark arguing with a girl about his height and had the same blue hair as him. Shark then noticed Yuma.
"Hey Yuma. Ready for school?" Shark asked.
Before Yuma could answer, the girl spoke up. "So you're Yuma Tsukumo? Reginald has told me a lot about you." She said.
"Hang on, are you Rio?" Yuma asked her.
"The one and only!" Rio said as she shook Yuma's hand.
"But Shark said you would still be in the hospital for another month!"
"I only made the doctors tell him that so I could surprise him!" Rio said enthusiastically.
"Surprised is an understatement! You gave me a heart attack!" Shark said.
"We should all hurry if we want to get to school on time." Rio said walking off.
"Who is Rio?" Astral, who was watching, asked Yuma.
"She is Shark's younger sister." Yuma told Astral.
Shark then looked up and, surprisingly, saw Astral.
"Wow! He is real!" Shark shouted.
Astral, who was very surprised, looked at Shark. "Are you saying you can see me?"
"Yes. But if you are real, then how come I have never seen you before now?" Shark said.
"Maybe it's because of the Numbers." Astral speculated.
"What would Numbers have to do with it?"
"Numbers are pieces of my memory, perhaps since you have so many in your possession that has allowed you to see me now." Astral speculated.
"Do you two think you could talk about this later?! We're going to be late for school!" Yuma said as he rushed to school.
At school, Rio was
Shark and Rio took their seats, despite the massive wave of boys going gaga over Rio, and class began.
"Morning class." The teacher, who was wearing a blue blouse, white skirt, had light blue eyes, and long blonde hair that was in a ponytail, noticed Rio and smiled. "Today we have a new student joining us. Give a welcome to Rio Kastle!"
"Thank you Ms. Frost." Rio said.
"You know her?" Shark asked, as Ms. Frost only started teaching this semester, after Rio had her accident.
"Of course! She was my old Dueling instructor. She was the one who introduced me to ice monsters and helped me choose my ice birds." Rio told him.
"Now to begin we will…" Ms. Frost began with class.
At the end of class Rio was trying to escape the boys trying to ask her out. Then she ran into two girls, one with green hair and one with light brown hair.
"Hey, uh, you're Tori and Amber right?" Rio asked.
"Yes. Hey where's Shark?" Amber asked, knowing who Rio was.
"He must still be in class, which is weird for him." Rio wondered as the boy wave returned. She ran back to the classroom and was shocked. Ms. Frost was looking through Shark's deck while he was lying on the ground, unconscious with glass shards around him.
"What are you doing?!" Rio shrieked.
Frost then noticed Rio and tried to hid Shark's deck behind her back.
"It's not what you think!" Ms. Frost said.
"Oh, so you're not trying to steal cards from my brother's deck?!"
"Rio, you don't want to get involved in this!" Ms. Frost said.
"I don't know what you mean, but I challenge you to a Duel! If you win you get whatever you want, but if I win you leave Shark alone!"
"Fine Rio, but you are way over your head!" Ms. Frost said.
Both Duelists got ready, with both their Duel Disks shaped like ice shards.
Augmented Reality Vision Online
Ms. Frost: 4000
Rio: 4000
"Duel!" They both said.
"I'll go first! Draw!" Rio said as she began the Duel. "I summon Blizzard Falcon!" A snowstorm billowing across the field and a blue falcon with snow flake shaped wings flew out of the blizzard and landed at the center of the battle field, letting out a shrilling screech as it landed.
Blizzard Falcon: Level 4/WATER/Winged-Beast/1500 Atk/1500 Def
"Next I equip him with the dreaded spell card Black Pendent!" A black pendent necklace then formed around her monster's neck. "And it increases his attack points by 500!"
Blizzard Falcon Atk: 1500 + 500 = 2000
"Next since his attack points increased you take 1500 points of damage!" Blizzard Falcon began brewing a large snow storm.
"Not unless I activate the effect of Frozen Countess from my hand!" Ms. Frost said with a smirk as a woman with snow white hair wearing a blue medieval dress appeared on the field.
Frozen Countess: Level 6/WATER/Spellcaster/2100 Atk/0 Def
"She reduces the damage I take to 0!" The Countess then blocked the damage. "I can predict your moves easily!" Ms. Frost taunted.
"Fine! I end my turn with a face down!" Rio said ending her turn.
"Then I draw! Now since I Special Summoned my Countess last turn, her attack points drop to 0."
Frozen Countess Atk: 0
"But that was my plan because now I can activate Weak Ice!" Ms. Frost's spell showed a small piece of ice in a pool of water. "Since I control a WATER attribute monster with 1000 or less attack points, I can summon a Level 4 or lower WATER attribute with 1000 or less attack points! I summon Frozen Jester!" A jester wearing blue and white spun crazily on to the field.
Frozen Jester: Level 3/WATER/Spellcaster/700 Atk/0 Def
"Next I active the spell Ice Mirror! It allows me to summon a second Jester from my deck!" A second Frozen Jester twirled onto the field.
Frozen Jester: Level 3/WATER/Spellcaster/700 Atk/0 Def
"But he won't be fooling around! I use him to Tribute Summon Mobius the Frost Monarch!" Jester disappeared and in his place was a knight clothed in a long blue cape and silver armor that resembled ice appeared on the field.
Mobius the Frost Monarch: Level 6/WATER/Aqua/2400 Atk/1000 Def
"And now Mobius's ability activates! It destroys two of your spell or trap cards! So say goodbye to your face down and Black Pendant! ICE CLOUD!" Both of Rio's cards were destroyed by an ice storm, but she only smiled.
Blizzard Falcon Atk: 2000 – 500 = 1500
"You're not the only one who can predict moves! I knew it wouldn't take you long summon Mobius, so I had a trap waiting for him! The face down you destroyed was Ice Judgment!" The Graveyard opened an out came a card showing a prehistoric creature frozen in a block of ice, and it seemed to have been chasing something. "Now since it was destroyed face down, its effect activates! It switches my Falcon to defense mode! And you take damage equal to the monster with the highest attack points! So you take damage equal to Mobius's attack points!" Rio explained.
Blizzard Falcon: 1500 Def
"Not good." Ms. Frost said.
"But that's not all! Since Black Pendent was destroyed you take an additional 500 points of damage!"
Ms. Frost: 4000 – 2400 – 500 = 1100
"Rio, you have just officially made me mad! I activate Ice Regeneration! I gain 500 Lifepoints for every WATER monster on the field! So I regain 2000 Life Points!" The spell used showed a large icicle absorbing water from the pond beneath it.
Ms. Frost: 1100 + 2000 = 3100
"Now I activate Jester's ability! I can banish one monster from my Graveyard and he gains its Level! I choose my second Frozen Jester!" The Graveyard portal appeared and Frozen Jester came out and was smashed into ice shards by the first Jester and three stars came out of the pile of ice and went into the first Jester.
Frozen Jester: Level 6
"Now I Overlay Level 6 Jester and Countess!" The frozen monsters disappeared into the overlay network, and a red 21 appeared on Ms. Frost's right hand.
"I XYZ SUMMON NUMBER 21: FROZEN LADY JUSTICE!"
From the gold portal arose a large glowing blue diamond. The sealed Number broke free and there stood a beautiful woman. Blue armor covered her torso, white gloves, and high heeled boots were on her arms and legs, and a red 21 glowed on her left leg. Also her short spiky hair and skin were pale blue.
Number 21 Frozen Lady Justice: Rank 6/WATER/Aqua/500 Atk/500 Def
"Only 500 attack points?" Rio said without worry.
"Not for long! Justice gains 1000 attack points for each Overlay Unit she has!" Ms. Frost told her.
Justice Atk: 500 + 2000 = 2500
"Not good!" Rio said.
"You don't know just how right you are! Since Justice is a Number she can't be destroyed by battle except by another Number!" Ms. Frost explained.
"For real?!" Rio gasped, never hearing of this particular card before.
"Now by using one Overlay Unit all your defense position monsters are destroyed! ETERNAL PERMAFROST!" Justice unsheathed her sword and spun the blade around in the air, creating a powerful blizzard that shredded Blizzard Falcon.
Justice Atk: 2500 – 1000 = 1500
"Now Justice attack Rio directly! FROSTBITE BLADE!" Justice then sliced Rio down the middle, sending her flying back.
Rio: 4000 – 1500 = 2500
"And now Mobius attack Rio directly with ICE LANCE!" Mobius raised his arm in the air and conjured an enormous spear made out of pure ice. The monarch threw the spear with all his might and sent Rio crashing against the wall.
Rio: 2500 – 2400 = 100
"I end my turn!" Ms. Frost announced, pleased she dealt such a devastating amount of damage in a single move.
"If I don't find a way to win this turn, I'm going to lose." Rio thought. "I draw!" Rio saw the card she drew and knew that it could be the key to her victory. "I summon Blizzard Thunderbird." A violent icy wind blew in, and a strange looking bird woman with blue skin and golden lightning bolt shaped wings flew out.
Blizzard Thunderbird: Level 4/WATER/Winged-Beast/1600 Atk/1400 Def
"Now I activate her effect! I can send one card to the Graveyard to summon one WATER Winged-Beast monster from my hand and from my Graveyard, then Thunderbird returns to my hand! I discard Hail Condor to summon Blizzard Falcon and Aurora Wing!" Rio's monster disappeared and in its place was the blue falcon and a blue phoenix whose wings glowed like an aurora.
Hail Condor: Level 5/WATER/Winged-Beast/1500 Atk/1700 Def
Aurora Wing: Level 4/Water/Winged-Beast/1200 Atk/1600 Def
"Now I Overlay Level 4 Aurora Wing and Blizzard Falcon!" The two ice birds disappeared into the red portal.
"I XYZ SUMMON ICE BEAST ZEROFYNE!"
A snow storm brewed and an armored angel made completely out of ice. Her body was a crystal icy blue, and dark blue armor made up her skirt, helmet, shoes, and wrist blades. She had two dark blue, spike shaped wings that allowed her to fly.
Ice Beast Zerofyne: Rank 4/WATER/Winged-Beast/2000 Atk/2200 Def
"Uh oh." Ms. Frost said.
"That was just the beginning! Since I Xyz Summoned I can activate Hail Condor's ability! It allows me to Xyz Summon using only him counting as two monsters!" A blue condor flew out of the Graveyard portal and split into two birds before disappearing into the Overlay Network.
"I XYZ RIOTO HARPYIA THE SUB-ZERO PRINCESS!"
Out of the portal rose a dark blue skinned woman clad in armor that looked like ice. Out of her back were two wings looked like large icicles. She twirled a yellow colored sickle that she carried in her hand and pointed it at Frost.
Rioto Harpyia The Sub-Zero Princess: Rank 5/WATER/Winged-Beast/2500 Atk/2100 Def
"Now I activate Zerofyne's effect! By using one Overlay Unit all of your face up cards lose their effects! So that means Justice loses her power boost and her battle invincibility! PERFECT FREEZE!" Zerofyne sent beams of ice on Mobius and Justice and were frozen in place.
Justice Atk: 1500 – 1000 = 500
"Oh no!" Ms. Frost said.
"I'm not done yet! Zerofyne gains 300 attack points for every other card on the field!"
Zerofyne Atk: 2000 + 900 = 2900
I activate Rioto's ability! By using one Overlay Unit she can make one monster you control's attack points 0! I chose Mobius! SUB-ZERO SUBTRACTION!" A snow storm brewed from the ice sickle that turned Mobius into solid ice.
Mobius Atk: 0
"Now Rioto destroy Mobius! SUB-ZERO SLASH!" Rioto used her sickle to turn the frozen Mobius to ice cubes.
Ms. Frost: 3100 – 2500 = 600
"Zerofyne, it's time to take out Justice! ICICLE STORM!" The blue angel blasted Justice with ice shards that shattered Justice.
"No!" Ms. Frost yelled as she was sent flying back.
Ms. Frost: 600 – 2900 = 0 (LOSE)
Winner: Rio
Rio then walked over to Frost and reached out her hand to help her up when it glowed red and a red ghost hand appeared and entered Ms. Frost's body and when it came out the Number was in it and the red 21 on Ms. Frost's hand disappeared. "What just happened?" She wondered.
Little did she know, the security camera in the room recorded the whole thing and that someone was watching it. In the security room a girl with long blonde hair in a ponytail held by two braids in the back wearing a red cloak was watching the whole thing.
"So, Rio now has Number 21. Perfect! Now I can keep a close eye on her, just like how I kept a close eye on Shark when he took Number 17 from Keto." She said while standing up. She then hit the side of the monitor and a memory card came out. Then she outstretched her hand and symbol, a red sun with a slit pupil eye in the center and a red diamond shaped outline, appeared and the screens on the monitors went blank.
"Hey! What do you think you are doing?!" Mr. Kay said while walking in. He saw in shock as girl turned around, revealing a blue visor mask with a red headband attached to it that covered her eyes and the sides of her face.
The girl outstretched her hand at his forehead and the mark appeared on it and his eyes glowed red. She smiled as she looked at the memory card in her other hand. "Now nobody will ever know." She then walked off.
Mr. Kay's eyes stopped glowing and the mark disappeared. "Hey, what's going on with the system?" He said as he looked at the blank screens, not remembering the girl he just saw.
Back in the classroom, Ms. Frost sat up and shuck her head. "Rio? What's going on?" She said sounding confused.
"What do you mean? We just had a Duel." Rio said.
"Sorry, but I don't remember. Last thing I remember is…"
"What?" Rio asked, growing curious.
"Well, right before school started I saw that your name was added to my attendance sheet and was happy that you were joining my class. But when I looked at the door I saw a girl in a red cloak with blonde hair and a blue visor mask standing there. And when I stood up she threw a card at me and I caught it. When I looked I looked at it and it read 'Number' on it, and that's all I remember up till now." Ms. Frost told her.
"'Number'? Didn't Reginald mention that when he was taking to Yuma this morning?" Rio thought, remembering what happened earlier. "I don't know anything about Numbers, but we should get Reginald to the nurse's office." Rio said while pointing to Shark's body.
"Hey, what did we miss?" A voice said.
Rio turned and saw Yuma, Tori, and Amber in the doorway.
"We need to get Shark to the nurse." Rio said as she tried to lift Shark.
When they got there, Shark started to wake up. The nurse gave him an ice pack for his head.
"What happened?" Shark asked as he put the ice pack on his head.
"You took a rather nasty fall, and hit your head. Then Rio, Yuma, Tori, and Amber showed up and helped me bring you down here." Ms. Frost explained. But the look on her face told something different.
"Come on Reginald. Let's go home." Rio said, letting Shark put his arm over her shoulder.
When they left school Rio and Shark left for home. When they got there Rio left Shark on the couch and got him a new ice pack for his head. She then went to her room and immediately went online looking for information about Numbers. But she found nothing. "This can only mean two things: the Numbers are too new to the game, or they are something not of this world." She concluded. She then pulled out Number 21 and put it into her extra deck for safe keeping.

Author's Notes:
Again, sorry for the long wait. What did y'all think of this ice Duel? Next chapter will come out much sooner than this one.
