Author Notes(Kattobing Ore)
Hello and welcome to my seventh chapter of The Lady of Numbers.
This time we will have the duel between Yuma and Cathy, in addition to the duel between Yuma and Ryoga
Get ready for a nostalgic chant summon in this chapter
So let's start
Enjoy!
-Retrospective of the last chapter-
"Rank-Up Magic Chaos Force." Cathy read it and handed me the card and I put it back on my deck
"I think we'd better go to bed, tomorrow you'll make your confession and we have to prepare some things before." I said and went to bed and Cathy too.
As soon as we woke up, Cathy and I decided to go to school together and prepare the duel against Yuma
"So if I summon my mannequin cat, can I bring this monster into the field?" She asked as she held the card I lent her
"Yes, you will, besides, I've already planned everything, what we're going to have to do is simulate a kidnapping and Yuma will come to your house." I said and we walked to school while we discussed our plan
As soon as we arrived, Cathy went to the bathroom while Tetsuo came toward me
"Good morning Tetsuo, you look worried, what happened?" I asked.
"Yuma has never been able to defeat me before, but if you look at his history now, you will see several consecutive victories."
"Yeah, so what?"
"His Kattobing matched him the most when he lost."
"That's a bad thing to say, Tetsuo." I said, inflating my cheeks, elogo Yuma appeared dressed like a rock star and everyone started laughing.
"Yuma, I've ridiculous outfits before, but this beats anyone but the bee. The one from yesterday was nice but ..." I said and gave a small smile
'The plan is working perfectly as it worked in the Canon'.I thought while my smile increased
You can not understand anything about fashion, Yuma"
"What do you mean, I understand more than you?" He said and all the girls in the class, including Cathy, covered their mouths with their hands in surprise.
"This Saturday, I'm going to teach you about fashion, meet the mall at 3 in the afternoon for a shopping session." I said and walked away in the direction where Cathy was and waved to her smiling and she returned the nod
On Saturday, Cathy and I were hanging out at her mansion while I waited for Cathy's cats to bring Yuma to the mansion. I was with the pink fur cat on her lap and her two brothers on either side of my chair while Cathy had some cats lying down around her and on the bedroom floor
"What do you think of keeping those 3 for you Kotori?" Cathy asked as she licked her lips.
"I keep them?" I asked looking at the 3 cats
"Yes, they like you and you also like cats, so I know they'll be in good hands. Accept them as my gift for helping me with Yuma."
"Thank you." I said and patted the female cat on my lap and then looked at Cathy
"Do they have names?"
"No. I always name my cats, but those 3 were born shortly and I did not have time to name them, so you're going to give names to all three." She said and we soon heard Cathy's main doors slam into the wall and Yuma shout my name
"Looks like it's time, I'll be watching from the third floor, good luck Cathy." I said and hugged her before grabbing the 3 kittens and going to my prime position
As soon as I took my stand, Cathy met Yuma on the steps of her mansion
"I'm glad you came so fast," she said smiling.
"Who the hell are you?" Yuma asked.
"My name is Cathy, but you can call me Cat-chan." She said
Astral recognized Cathy but Yuma did not
'Sometimes Yuma can be kind of stupid'.
"Where is Kotori and why did you kidnap her?" He asked angrily.
"She's closer than you think, my reason is pretty simple, though I'll just explain it if you beat me in a duel," Cathy said.
Yuma wondered if this was interference from Numbers and although he was wrong, Cathy still has a number
As Yuma and Cathy positioned themselves, I looked at my new pet cats and smiled. "As soon as this duel is over, I'll give you names, so please wait"
DUEL! .The two screamed.
Cathy Lp = 4000
Yuma Lp = 4000
I'll keep the first turn. It's my !" Cathy said (6 cards in hand)
"I activate my Inviting Cat magic card. Its effect allows me to add a Neko or Cat monster from my deck to my hand and then I activate a continuous magic card, Cat Meeting." Cathy said and Yuma was surprised.
"Now I summon my Stray Cat (Nv1 100/300) and the effect of Cat Meeting is activated, if a Neko or Cat monster is summon, I can special summon a Nv3 or smaller Neko or Cat monster from my hand. Come my second Stray Cat ". Soon she had two Stray Cat in the field exactly as happened in the Canon
'Everything is running according to Kotori's plan, now I just need two more cards that are on my deck and my victory is guaranteed.'
Yuma began to snub the Stray Cat because of their low attack, which made me angry, but I put it aside, because his arrogance will make him be defeated
"I set one card face down and I finish my turn"
Now it's my !" Yuma shouted and summoned the Achacha Archer causing 500 damage to Summon.
Cathy Lp = 3500
Yuma Lp = 4000
He tried to attack one of the Stray Cat, but its effects blocked his attack
'This is Cathy's Cat Lock, the first step of her ruin'.I thought smiling
Yuma activated the Magic Flip Flop card and changed the battle position of one of the Stray Cat and destroyed the other
Cathy Lp = 2400
Yuma Lp = 4000
"I do not like to have my kittens destroyed, but this allows me to activate my Monstrous Cat Transformation magic card, which allows me to special summon 1 Monster Cat (Nv1 0/0) from my deck, hand or graveyard, and when he is summon, I can destroy all Nv4 or smaller monsters in your field and it inflicts 800 damage per destroyed monster. "
Cathy Lp = 2400
Yuma Lp = 3200
"Now I activate the other effect of the Monster Cat, I can add a Stray Cat from the deck or graveyard to my hand." She said and added the deck to the hand
Yuma set a card face down and ended the turn
"It's my !" Cathy said smiling (2 cards in hand)
'I just need one more card to end this duel.'
"Let's warm things up. I re-activate the Monster Cat effect and add a Stray Cat from the graveyard to my hand."
"I summon my Stray Cat and the Cat Meeting effect is activated again by allowing me to special summon my other Stray Cat. Now I use my Monster Cat and 1 of my Stray Cat from Nv1 is an overlay and I make an overlay network with the two. Seductive catlady that walks through the darkness of the night, sharpen your claws and slice your enemies. Exceed now Twin Tail Cat Lady (Rk1 1000/1000)(2OU)".
"Now I activate my magic card in the field, Beast Soul, it allows me to double the Nvs of all Beast monsters in my field. I use my two Stray Cat from Nv2 for an overlay and perform an overlay network with of the cats that commands feral legions, takes on a human appearance and guides the beasts towards now Number 29 Mannequin Cat (Rk2 2000/900)(2OU).
'Perfect, now Yuma just needs to summon his Number and he'll lose it.I and Cathy think at the same time
"Now I activate the Twin Tail Cat Lady effect by removing an overlay unit, its attack increases by 800 points.
"Now Cat lady, attack Yuma directly."
Cathy Lp = 2400
Yuma Lp = 1400
"Now I'm going to finish this,Mannequin Cat direct attack."
"That will not happen. If I get a direct attack, I can activate my Fairy Offspring trap card. She allows me to special summon 1 monster with fairy in the name of my deck on def." Yuma said and special summon Fairy Joe
"No problem,then destroy Joe, Mannequin Cat."
"I set a card face down and finish my turn". Cathy said.
Yuma began praising Cathy, but interrupted her confession
"It's my !" Yuma said.
Astral told Yuma that Cathy was not being controlled by the number and that left Yuma confused
"How come you're not being controlled by the number?"
"She would not control me, besides the number 29 was a gift from a dear friend for me," Cathy said as she smiled in my direction.
Yuma did not look in the direction she was looking and decided to continue the duel. He special summon Fallen Cone and Glowing Pinecone and then used the magic card Monster Reincarnation to bring back the Fairy Joe and then brought the Baby Tragon, which left me very confused since I had the Baby Tragon, and then he brought the Gagaga Magician and attacked Cathy directly after activating the effect of Gagaga Magician
Cathy = 900
Yuma = 1400
I decided to look in my extra deck and did not find the Baby Tragon and looking at the field, I saw that the Baby Tragon was quite confused and I was furious
'As soon as Cathy confesses to him, I'm going to kill him for taking my precious friends'. I thought while controlling my fury
Yuma activated the magic card Giant Shadow of Egotism, increasing the Baby Tragon attack and decreasing that of the Twin Tail Cat Lady back to the original.
Cathy was trying to confess to him while Yuma was attacking as MY Baby Tragon and I decided to help Cathy before she lost and screamed
"Cathy, activate the trap card now!" I shouted revealing my position and Cathy shook her head to clear her of love, for now.
"I activate the trap card, Tuning Beast, it allows me to deny your attack and draw a card from my deck. If it's a monster, it turns into a tuner monster, but if it's a spell or a trap, I get double of damage I would get from her attack. I Draw! 'She said and smiled.
"I draw the Nekogal 2". She said though Yuma was looking at me confused
"What are you doing there, Kotori?"
"Thinking of ways to kill you and helping a friend, now end the turn so you can lose." I said emanating a sinister aura and Yuma ended the turn of fear
"It's my final turn, Draw!" Cathy said (1 card in hand)
"I activate the other effect of my Tuning Beast, banishing it from the graveyard and paying for my life points, I can special summon the monster that has been turned into a tuning. Come Nekogal 2 (Nv6 1900/2000)."
Cathy = 450
Yuma = 1400
Now I activate the other effect of Beast Soul on my graveyard, banishing it, I can use monsters from my graveyard to make invocations. Now I use my Stray Cat from Nv1 and Monster Cat from Nv1 with my tuner monster Nekogal 2 from Nv6 for wishes will become a new shining star,become the path its light shines upon. Synchro Summon. Take flight Stardust Dragon(Nv8 2500/2000)".
"Let's end this in one blow, Stardust Dragon attack the Baby Tragon, resound Shooting Sonic."
Cathy = 450
Yuma = 0
Cathy started jumping with joy as I descended the stairs quickly and gave her a hug.
"You got Cathy, now all you need to do is talk to him." I said and looked toward Yuma.
"What's going on here and why are you hugging the person who kidnapped you?" He asked confused and I could see that even Astral was confused
I grabbed one of my 3 cats. "She did not kidnap me, I was helping her. Cathy and I are friends". I said smiling as Cathy blushed with happiness.
"I lost in a duel of numbers, so I lose my numbers?" He asked and Cathy shook her head.
"You can keep them, I did not face you to take them from you."
"So why did you want to face me?" Yuma asked, and Cathy blushed and began to stutter.
"It looks like I'm going to have to help with that, too." I said smiling and grabbed the back of Cathy and Yuma's heads.
"Help me how? I ..." I interrupted Yuma's speech by shoving his head against Cathy's who had already understood and prepared for the kiss. Cathy was enjoying the kiss while Yuma looked surprised.
As soon as the kiss ended, Yuma fell to the floor in shock and Cathy began to giggle with happiness before crouched in front of Yuma and smile.
"I watch you at a time and I have to say I like you, you want to date me?." Cathy blushed as Yuma stared at her
"I do not know what to say ..." Yuma said and I sighed.
"Say yes". I said
"Can I have some time to think?" Yuma asked and Cathy nodded.
Astral looked at me, "Do you have other numbers that I do not know?" He asked and I scratched my head
"Some." I said and gave the numbers to him to pick up the memories before he returned the numbers to me and I returned the 29 to Cathy
"Any interesting Astral memory?" I asked and he nodded.
"I'll tell you later." He said and I nodded.
Soon after Yuma and Astral went away and I looked at Cathy.
"I guess I have to go now, but first I'll decide the name of the kittens."
I said and took the female cat with white fur and yellow eyes in my lap "Your name is going to be ... Weiss." I put Weiss on the floor and took the male cat with black fur and red eyes. "Your name is going to be Itachi. "I said and took the female cat with pink fur and cyan eyes." And finally, your name will be Yuzu".
"They are very pretty names Kotori-chan."
"Thank you Cathy-chan."
I got my new cats and went home.
The next day I went to school and saw a commotion around Yuma and ecidi check on what it was. As soon as I got close, I heard that Ryoga was walking with bad people
"What do you mean, with Ruoga walking around with bad people?" I asked and Yuma came too close to my face
"Kotori, do you know where Shark might be?" He asked me with a purple eye from the punch I gave him yesterday for getting the Baby Tragon from my deck
"I keep in touch with him from time to time, but he does not tell me about all the places he goes, after all I'm not his mother. Besides that, if you call him Shark again, I'll give you another purple eye "I told him to get away from me.
After school, Yuma went in an old arcade with Tetsuo while Cathy and I followed behind.
"Thank you for coming with Cathy," I said, smiling.
"No problem Kotori, friends are for that"
As soon as we entered Tetsuo was seized and when Yuma tried to save him, he was also seized
Ryoga appeared and freed them by sending the guys to release them and then looked at me and Cathy while the gang left the place
"I did not expect you to come here, Kotori." He said and looked at Cathy before looking away blushing a little
"This place is not for you." He said
"Not for you too Ryoga, you have more talent than this place can stand." I said smiling and Cathy nodded.
Yuma asked for a duel, but Ryoga denied claiming that he had given up dueling
"Do you give up dueling, Yuma becoming the world champion is easier than that," I said as Yuma fell to the ground comically while Ryoga looked like he would start laughing before taking a deep breath and walking out the door
"At least it looks like he still has a sense of humor intact." I said and went home to feed my cats
The next day, after school, I went straight to the harbor along with Cathy and Tetsuo
"Are you sure he's going to be here Kotori?" Tetsuo asked.
"Yes, I know him more than anyone except his sister. He likes to come to the harbor to relax when he needs to be alone with his thoughts. Soon he will appear."
As soon as I said it, I saw Ryoga coming running with Yuma right behind him, even though he was wet
Ryoga thought he had misjudged Yuma, but he was startled to look to the side and see him taking a breath and was even more frightened to look the other way and see me there
"How did you ...?" He was going to ask but I raised a hand
"We've been friends since childhood, I know where you like to go." I said and he sighed before starting to argue with Yuma about friendship until Yuma bet the Emperor's key in a duel
We climbed over the nearby bridge and Yuma started talking about not using Numbers against Ryoga and I sighed
Tetsuo looked at me with a raised eyebrow. "Why did you sigh Kotori?"
"Yuma does not understand the power of the Numbers and Ryoga has a monster that can teach Yuma". I said and Cathy made face of discovery
"You're telling that monster." She said and I nodded, leaving Tetsuo confused, but when he was going to ask me a question, I held up a hand
"You'll understand when Yuma is forced to use a Number." I said and Astral came up to my side
"I was also curious about what that little lesson you're talking about." He said and I nodded.
Soon the representative of the class came to watch the duel with us.
"Duel!" The two shouted.
Yuma draw 1 card and summon the Gogogo Golem, set one card face down and ended the turn
Ryoga draw one card and then summon the Killer Frilled Shark and then special summon the Shark Sucker for its effect and then used both of them to an overlay network, bringing the Aero Shark to the field and activating its effect, causing 1600 points of damage to the Yuma.
Ryoga = 4000
Yuma = 2400
Soon after, he activated the magic card Mystical Space Typhoon and destroyed the Yuma trap and then attacked the Gogogo Golem
Ryoga = 4000
Yuma = 2300
Ryoga set One card and finished the turn
"Ryoga is with his full power today Nyaa." Cathy said and Ryoga blushed at that compliment from her. I saw him blushing and smiling
Yuma draw one card and summon the Gagaga Magician, but Ryoga started asking him to bring the Numbers into the field
Yuma activated the magic card Ressurection of the Dead and brought the Gogogo Golem back into the field and then used the two to bring Hope to the field leaving Ryoga excited
"He said he would not use Number ..." Tetsuo said in surprise.
"In sum, the Yuma duel still depends on the numbers." The class representative said
"Numbers are powerful monsters, but even they can be defeated. Even though Yuma has brought Hope to the field, with that monster that Ryoga has, he is at a disadvantage"
Yuma used Hope to attack the Aero Shark, but Ryoga activated the Killer Frilled Shark effect, denying Hope's attack and reducing his attack to 500. Soon after, he activated the trap card Fish Rain, summoning the Big Jaws.
Astral spoke about how he could have Summon the Dragon Revise, denying the effect of the Killer Frilled Shark.
Ryoga draw one card and then re-activated the Aero Shark effect, inflicting an additional 800 damage on Yuma
Ryoga = 4000
Yuma = 1500
Ryoga summoned the Skull Kraken and used Skull Kraken and Big Jaws to bring the Black Ray Lancer to the field
Astral said no monster could destroy Hope but I started laughing attracting everyone's attention there.
"You're wrong Astral, Hope can be destroyed in some situations, mainly because the effect of not being destroyed in battle except for monsters numbers is still an effect and if it is denied ..." I said and Astral opened the eyes of surprise when Ryoga activated the effect of the Black Ray Lancer and denied the effects of the Hope
"The effect of denying destruction can be denied?" Tetsuo asked and Cathy nodded.
Ryoga attacked Hope with the Black Ray Lancer, causing its destruction
Ryoga = 4000
Yuma = 1400
And to end the duel, he attacked directly with the Aero Shark.
Ryoga = 4000
Yuma = 0
"The numbers are not invincible, they're just annoying to defeat. Even though Yuma has brought Hope to the field, he's still lost." I said and Cathy made a sad face but nodded
Ryoga took the emperor's key but threw her to the ground and went to his bike and left after speaking a few words
"Ryouga's heart is bruised." I said and approached Cathy's ear and whispered in her ear.
"I'm going to need your help to straighten Ryoga's heart back to what it was before." I asked and she nodded.
Soon after the duel ended, I went to my house to play with my cats and get ready for the duel tag with Ryoga.
The next day, I was watching Tetsuo and Yuma duel for the twentieth time along with Cathy
"Yuma already gave you an answer about the relationship?"
"No, but I asked him and he said he'll give me his answer tomorrow." Cathy said smiling happily as I smiled too.
Tetsuo pulled away and Yuma pointed at me.
"If Tetsuo got tired, I'll duel with you Kotori, I've never faced you in a duel before." He said but I shook my head
"Me and Cathy are not with our decks now and even if we had them it would not do any good. If you can not beat Tetsuo, you could not beat either of us." I said and headed toward my house ignoring Tetsuo leaving
On the way home, I felt the power of a number and saw a boy giving me a sinister smile before departing.
I crossed the street and followed the boy until we arrived in a park full of small children where I felt the power of another number emanating from a girl sitting on the slide. All the other children were looking at me and smiling
"Nee-san, did you come to teach us how to duel as Katsu said?" A girl came up to me looking at me with puppy eyes
"Ahhhh ... of course, who am I going to duel with?" I asked, although I probably already knew the answer
"Katsu and Marie, they're the only ones of us who have decks." She said and the two numbers users came up to me and activated their duel disks.
"Okay, I'm going to give you a duel class today and it will be free." I said and activated my duel disk
"Duel!" The three of us shouted at the same time.
Kotori = 4000
Katsu = 4000
Marie = 4000
'I do not know their deck, so I guess I'd better be a bit cautious and go second.'
"Since you invited me here, I'm going to go second, then decide who of the two of you goes first." I said and the two boys looked at each other and then Maria started
"It's my !".Marie said
"I set a face down monster and finish my turn". She said smiling.
'That does not tell me much of anything about your deck, except that your monster must have a dull effect. "" It's my ! "(6 cards in hand)
"I'll take the offensive. If I do not control monsters, I can special summon my Wind Witch-Ice Bell (Nv3 1000/1000) and by its effect, I can special summon a Wind Witch from my deck, come now Wind Witch- Tornado Bell (Nv5 2000/1600) and now the side effect of Ice Bell is activated, she can inflict 500 damage to an opponent, I inflicts on you Katsu. "I said and my witch sent a freezing blizzard against the boy.
Kotori = 4000
Katsu = 3500
Marie = 4000
"And now the Tornado Bell effect is activated, if a wind witch deals damage by effect, I can increase your Nv by 1 and inflict damage equal to your nv x 100, meaning Katsu will get 600 more damage."
Kotori = 4000
Katsu = 2900
Marie = 4000
"But do not end up here, Tornado Bell is a monster tuner so now I use my Wind Witch-Ice Bell from Nv 3 and my monster tuner Wind Witch-Tornado Bell from Nv 6 and tuning. Blizzard of death reaping lives of the innocents, resounds to the beating of the midnight bell and begins its ominous cacophony. Shychro Shoakan. Come now Wind Witch-Death Bell(Nv9 3500/3000)
"I activate the Death Bell effect, once per turn, I can lower an opponent's Lps by half and I lower the Lps of Song."
Kotori = 4000
Katsu = 2900
Marie = 2000
"Now I'll finish the duel for you Katsu, Death Bell, attack Katsu directly. Death Blizzard."
"That will not happen, I activate the effect of the Battle Fader by sending it to the graveyard, I can force the end of the battle phase," Katsu said smiling
"That was a good boy, now show me your power."
"Of course I will." He said when a number appeared on his skin while he gave a sinister smile
-Chapter End-
A/N=This was the seventh chapter and we had some interesting things in it.
Yuma was defeated twice,Cathy summoned the Stardust Dragon using a nostalgic chant and Kotori won three cute kittens
Wait for the next chapter, where we will have two more numbers added to the collection, besides the tag duel together with Ryoga
This time, we had no change in numbers
See you and have a good day
