Yuki's POV

"They're late." Cleo hissed a bit as I leaned on the counter "Unacceptable."

"He's a teenager I'm sure something just came up with his friends." I told her "Then again Luna said he was having an argument with that Bronk kid."

"Shall we investigate?" she asked.

"Sounds like a plan." I nodded touching the counter "God's Footsteps!"

"Now which one is he?" Cleo hummed.


Later

"Shield!" I slid to a stop as a strange blackness oozed out at Tori and Bronk.

The divine light of my shield pushed it back and allowed me to stand up.

"Miss Yuki!" Tori gasped.

"Something was wrong, should have figured you don't usually miss our lessons." I hummed looking at Astral "What happened to you?"

He was all altered in color; a black tone and red markings having replaced the sky blue and gold look.

"Number…96…" Astral hissed as sparks and ooze gathered around him.

"I see…Yuki sleep for a bit." Cleo told me.

"Okay." I traded places and let her take control.

"You want number do you?" Cleo said "Well I have one, so let's get this show on the road!"

Cleo's POV

I drew a hand as the duel started.

"Madolche Ticket" I played a spell card "Then I summon Madolche Magileine."

A witch with a fork popped up.

Madolche Magileine: LVL 4 ATK 1400 DEF 1200

"When she's summoned I add a Madolche monster from my deck to my hand." I pulled out a card "I set two face downs and end the turn."

Yuma drew a card, his mind being controlled by that dark number.

"I activate a trap, Madolche Waltz!" I smirked "Now when a Madolche monster attacks or is attacked you take 300 damages!"

"It matters not." Number 96 said "I remove Pinecono from my hand to the grave to special summon Acorno, and since Pinecono was sent from the hand to the graveyard it can be special summoned, and then I summon Darklon!"

Three monsters appeared on the field.

Acorno- LVL 1 ATK 200 DEF 400

Pinecono- LVL 1 ATK 400 DEF 200

Darklon- LVL 1 ATK 100 DEF 100

"Three monsters." I hissed.

"When Darklon is summoned all monsters on my field gain one level and become DARK type." He said.

He's set it up already…

"I overlay Acorno, Pinecono and Darklon, from the overlay network I summon my true form!" he yelled "Number 96: Dark Mist!"

An oozing black giant formed out of a slimy blob.

Number 96: Dark Mist- RANK 2 ATK 100 DEF 1000 Overlays 3

"It's different than before." Tori told me "Before it was just a blob."

It can change forms?

"Summoning yourself on the first turned, are you truly that worried?" I smirked at him.

"No, I'm confident." He laughed "Black Mist attacks Magileine!"

"You're attacks too low." I said.

"By detaching an overlay unit, the attack of the opponents monster is halved and added to my attack!" He said.

Madolche Magileine- ATK 1400 to 700

Number 96: Dark Mist- OVRL 3-2 ATK 100 to 800

"So…it will always have 100 more attack!" I hissed "GAH!"

My monster was shattered, and my life drained.

Cleo- 4000 to 3900

"Tsk, impotent brat." I hissed "When a Madolche monster is to be sent to the graveyard by an opponent's card it's instead shuffled into the deck. Also since my Madolche monster was attacked you take 300 damage from Madolche Waltz"

Dark Mist- 4000 to 3700 LP

I put my card back "But this triggers Madolche ticket which lets me add a Madolche monster to my hand."

"I set two cards." Dark Mist told me.

"I draw and start with Double Summon to summon two monsters this turn, I start with Madolche Cruffsant and then summon Madolche Butlerusk." I played a card.

A little doggy as well as a prim and proper servant appeared.

Madolche Cruffsant: LVL 3 ATK 1500 DEF 1200

Madolche Butlerusk: LVL 4 ATK 1500 DEF 800

"When Butlerusk is summoned and there's another Madolche monster on the field I can add a field spell to my hand." I said "So I'll add and then play Madolche Chateau to give all my Madolche monsters 500 Attack and Defense."

A pastry castle appeared behind me.

Cruffsant- 1500 to 2000 ATK

Butlerusk- 1500 to 2000 ATK

"Then I trigger Cruffsant's effect, by returning another Madolche monster to my hand I can give it 300 attack and another level." I said.

Cruffsant- LVL 3 to 4 and 2000 to 2300 ATK

"Now Cruffsant attack!" I yelled.

"My monsters effect works if you attack as well!" Dark mist laughed.

Dark Mist OVRL 2-1, 100 ATK to 1250

Cruffsant 2300 to 1150

"You still take 300 from my Madolche Waltz!" I yelled as my monster was destroyed and returned to my deck.

Dark Mist- 3700 to 3400 LP

"I also trigger the trap Madolchepalooza!" I said "With this I summon all the Madolche monsters in my hand but they return to my deck at the end phase, so out come Madolche Marmalmaide, Chouxvalier and Anjelly!"

A maid, a cute knight and a fairy girl appeared.

Madolche Marmalmaide- LVL 4 ATK 800 DEF 2000

Madolche Chouxvalier- LVL 4 ATK 1700 DEF 1300

Madolche Anjelly- LVL 4 ATK 1000 DEF 1000

"With these three monsters I construct an Overlay Network!" I laughed "Are you ready to see it, my Number Card?!"

"Hmm…" Dark Mist smirked as lightning crackled down in a sparking orb.

"Descend from the storm!" I held my hand up "NUMBER 91!"

"RAAAH!" a huge blue serpent crackled.

"Thunder Spark Dragon!" I yelled.

Number 91: Thunder Spark Dragon- RANK 4 ATK 2400 DEF 2000

"I set a card and end the turn." I smirked.

"It's foolish!" Dark Mist laughed "I still have an overlay unit; your monster is going to be destroyed. Go my dark self, crush her Dragon!"

"You still have a lot to learn, come back in a thousand years and maybe you can compete with me." I smirked "Iplay the Trap Negate Attack; your battle phase is over!"

"Tsk, you merely live one more turn." He said "When you attack next I will crush you with your own power."

"I draw." I picked a card "Now I activate Thunder Spark Dragon's effect, by removing three overlay units I can destroy all other face up monsters on the field!"

"Impossible!" Dark Mist yelled.

"Static Shockwave!" I laughed as his true self shattered in a dazzling flash of lightning.

"I summon Madolche Hootcake!" I said.

Madolche Hootcake- LVL 3 ATK 1500 DEF 1100

An owl appeared.

"You're wide open, get lost!" I yelled.

Dark Mist 3400 to 0

"I win!" I laughed "You fool!"

Yuki's POV

"Try to be more careful in the future okay, just cause you have special powers doesn't mean you guys can't be corrupted by the numbers." I warned Astral and Yuma.

"That was a super awesome Number Card!" Yuma said "I'm kinda glad we don't have to fight you for it."

"Oh?" I smirked "Maybe I'll make you win, like a final challenge."
