bopdog111: Well Timmy won his first duel in the World Duel Carnival but we now have some backstory.

Ulrich362: Some tragic backstory apparently, and before anyone asks... yes technically Zexal isn't in the same timeline as the original Yu-gi-Oh, GX, or 5Ds. We know this, but this is a fanfiction with an OC who isn't even part of canon Yu-Gi-Oh. That doesn't matter in this story, Zexal comes after 5Ds.

bopdog111: And as I told that reviewer; Yeah they are separate timelines but they exist in the same universe in the same world.

Ulrich362: Fair enough, but just in case something like that comes up again. That said though, it's time to learn what happened to Leo and Luna... and possibly for Timmy's next duel. Enjoy the chapter.

Disclaimer: We don't own Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL but we own the OCs!


Anna and Timmy were both looking at the Ancient Fairy Dragon and Anna had just asked her what happened to Leo and Luna.

"They both... they both got involved in a accident." Ancient Fairy Dragon told the two looking down.

Anna frowned taking Timmy's hand. "What kind of accident? Did their parents do anything for them?"

"Those two we're concerned... But they done nothing to assist all for the sake of money." she answered.

Anna felt Timmy's hand clench tight to the point where Anna felt a small twinge of pain.

"They just simply gave up when the expenses we're too much to knock over half of their fortune." Ancient Fairy Dragon continued to them, "Afterward they sold me, and my Life Stream to regain some of the money they spent for their hospital records."

"What kind of disgusting people put money over their own kids?" Anna questioned in disgust before just frowning. "Do you know where your Life Stream is now?"

"I felt he's near but, I can't quite figure out where." Ancient Fairy Dragon answered.

"The three of us will find him, right?" Anna asked turning to Timmy.

Timmy nodded, "Definitely. But first we should find his form before being released. Leo's Power Tool Dragon."

"Well, hopefully whoever has it is in the tournament." Anna admitted.

"Actually..." they looked to Ancient Fairy Dragon, "I had kept Power Tool Dragon hidden so at least a part of my Life Stream stays with me."

She materialized a card in front of Anna for her to take. Blinking Anna slowly took the card.


Power Tool Dragon

EARTH

Level 7

Machine/Synchro/Effect

ATK: 2300

DEF: 2500

1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner monsters
Once per turn: You can reveal 3 Equip Spell Cards from your Deck, then your opponent randomly adds 1 of them to your hand, and you shuffle the rest back into your Deck. If this card would be destroyed while equipped with an Equip Spell Card(s), you can send 1 of those cards to the Graveyard instead.


"Timmy, here." Anna mentioned giving the monster to him.

Timmy slowly takes it looking at it.

Anna just gently hugged him. "Are you going to be ok?"

"...This is why exactly I hate money." Timmy said to her softly.

"Yeah, I can see what you mean." she nodded.

"It's no wonder it is the folklorn of evil." he added closing his eyes before opening them turning to her, "Well let's be careful together."

"Agreed." she nodded.

They both walked together after bidding Ryoma farewell walking before during a ledge Timmy slipped crying out falling down in the water below. Seeing that Anna jumped down to offer her hand. "Are you alright, you need to be more careful."

Timmy struggled to reach her hand before grabbing it. When he did Anna helped him to his feet. Timmy sighed, "Sorry, I don't know how I missed that."

Anna frowned. "You probably had something on your mind, and honestly I don't blame you."

Timmy nodded looking at her with a smile before blinking squinting his eyes to her which confuses her.

"Timmy?" she asked. "Are you alright?"

Soon all the color faded from his face looking horrified as he felt his eyes through his eye lids before gasping, "Oh no... My contacts! Their gone!"

Anna's eyes widened hearing that before taking his hand. "Hold on, I'll help you find them."

Timmy shook his head, "We can't find them Anna. Their tiny, and in a large amount of water. It will take us days to find them..."

Anna frowned at that. "Do you have any spares back at home? I could carry you there if you need me to."

"No... They were my only pair... Without them I can't see crystal." Timmy said looking down saddened before getting an idea, "Wait does Cathy have any I can borrow?"

"We can ask her." Anna answered. "Just stay close to me."

Timmy nodded holding her hand staying careful as they walked together. Eventually they reached Cathy's mansion before knocking on the door. Cathy answered softly as she smiled, "Anna, Tim what brings you two here?"

"We might need your help, Timmy's entered in the Duel Carnival but while we were looking around he lost his balance and fell into the river." Anna explained. "He lost his contacts, we were hoping you might be able to help."

"Contact lens?" Cathy asked hearing that, "He never mentioned having contact lens."

"Well... I got so used to wearing them on my eyes, I didn't think of them." Timmy admitted.

Cathy shakes her head, "Well I don't have any contacts. But I do have an extra pair of glasses they might work."

"It's worth a try." Anna mentioned. "Can we come in?"

Cathy nodded as they entered, "So Timmy how far are you into the World Duel Carnival?"

"I won my first Heart Piece." Timmy admitted not looking over due to his blinded eyes.

"Well I'm getting close to it myself." Cathy smiled before walking off arriving back with a pair of glasses similar to what she has on, "Here Anna these should work."

"You're competing?" Anna asked giving Timmy the glasses.

"Well you seen me with Yuma, and the others." Cathy answered as Anna places the glasses on Timmy's face.

"That's true and..." Anna started before gasping.

"What?" Cathy asked looking.

Timmy blinked to get his vision in place before seeing clear before smiling, "Ah these worked!" Before he looked a little nervous, "But... I think I look a bit nerdy."

"I think you look great." Anna admitted. "Maybe a tiny bit nerdy, but in a cute way actually. I like them."

"Do any of you have a mirror?" Timmy asked.

"In the hall." Cathy answered showing him.

Timmy walked over stopping in front of it looking at himself wearing the glasses, "I never thought I wear glasses after getting use to Contacts..."

"Well, like I said I think you look cute in them." Anna mentioned walking up behind him. "You look sophisticated in them."

"Sophi-What?" Timmy asked looking at her from the mirror.

"It means you know about the world basically." Anna answered. "It's a good thing, I promise."

Timmy nodded before looking back at his reflection asking, "What do you think Grandma would say if she sees me like this?"

"I think she would say her grandson is very handsome." Anna answered with a smile.

Timmy blushed but has a smile as Anna wrapped her arms around him while looking down to him, "I don't know what I do without ya Anna..."

"Don't worry, you'll never have to find out." she smiled gently.

Timmy nodded at this smiling back before turning to her, "Hey Anna? If by any chance... we encounter your family... would they even like me?"

She paused at that. "I... I don't know."

Timmy looked concerned but only nodded, "I won't pry Anna. I'll let you tell me about them when you want too."

She just nodded at that before smiling. "What do you want to do now?"

"Actually, I was thinking of scheduling a Dentist Appointment after my next duel to end the day." Timmy admitted to her.

"That makes sense." Anna nodded. "Do you need someone to be there with you? I know some people get scared when they go to the dentist."

"Yeah... Well actually there is one main reason. I don't know if you see American Movies but have you heard of Marathon Man?" Timmy asked her.

"No, I haven't." she admitted.

"Well... I accidentally watch that film myself, and that movie's bad guy actually uses Dentist Techniques as Torture methods." Timmy gave a slight shudder, "And I kept hearing 'Is it safe' in my head from that scene. But it totally taught me that I should take great care of my teeth."

Anna nodded in understanding before giving him a comforting hug. "I can stay with you, if you want."

"Thanks... I wouldn't want to be alone in a Dentist Office." Timmy admitted closing his eyes with a sheepish smile.

Anna nodded before pausing and blushing. "Timmy, after your next duel I think we should wash up again."

"Oh yeah... cause we both we're in water." Timmy said hearing that.

"Yeah, you don't mind if we do that together right?" she asked softly. "And after, we can spend some time together cuddling a bit?"

Timmy blushed before saying, "Well... yeah, at least I wouldn't be able to see you clearly when I don't want to view you without any clothes on."

Anna frowned at that. "You aren't a pervert Timmy. You're a real gentleman."

She smiled after saying that before offering her hand. "Come on, let's see if we can find you someone to duel."

Timmy nodded with a small smile taking her head as they exited Cathy's mansion thanking her while walking around to find new duelists to duel. After a while they noticed several people who looked to be watching a duel.

"What's going on?" Timmy asked Anna curious.

"I don't know." she admitted as they walked up where a boy with a scar over his eye had just clearly won a duel with his opponent on the ground.

"Don't say I never do anything for my fans." the boy grinned. "Does anyone else want some special attention?"

Timmy blinked, "Never seen him before who's this?"

A man beside him looked shocked turning to him, "You two never heard of Quattro?"

"Quattro?" Anna asked.

"He's a huge Dueling sensation! A highly known Professional Duelist who has won several dueling leagues, and if the current Asia Champion." the man explained to them.

"In other words he's a celebrity." Timmy admitted before saying, "Quattro is also Spanish for four... Why exactly does he choose that name?"

"I don't know." Anna admitted.

"Well... what do you think? Should I try my luck?" Timmy asked her.

"It's up to you." Anna mentioned.

Timmy gives thought before gulping, and called, "I-I will try Quattro!" Raising his arm as he said this.

"Oh, well the more the merrier." Quattro grinned. "Anything for one of my fans and... oh, you're competing too?"

"Well... yeah." Timmy nodded to him bowing, "I'm Timmy Wixn sir, and back at where I live, I won small tournaments. So I wonder what I can do against a big time Champ like yourself."

"Well, then I'll be sure to give you a duel you won't forget anytime soon." Quattro smiled as his Duel Disk activated and a tattoo appeared around his eye. "Ready whenever you are."

Timmy blinked a bit surprised seeing the tattoo, 'That mark... it's similar to...' Deciding not to worry about it he readied while putting on his headset on, "Ready!"

"Duel Interface Set. Augmented Reality Vision Link Established."

"LET'S DUEL!"

"You can go first if you want Quattro." Timmy offered.

"Now, by sending a Gimmick Puppet to the graveyard my Egg Head blasts you for 800 points of damage."

The egg opened it's head shooting out blasts at Timmy who braced himself. (Timmy: 3200/Hand: 5)

"He can't attack at the first turn but he's able to deal damage..." Timmy trailed off.

"I think that's enough for now, you're up." Quattro mentioned ending his turn.

Quattro's Hand: 3/Field: Gimmick Puppet Egg Head (Attack Position), One Set Card

Timmy 1st Turn:

"Okay my turn!" Timmy drew looking at his hand before grabbing two cards, "Alright, I start by setting the Pendulum Scale with Scale 4, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon," he reveals the two cards before adding, "And Scale 2, Dragon Archiver - Dingernell to set the Pendulum Scale!"

He sets the scale as both Odd-Eyes, and Dingernell rose up in between.

"What the?" Quattro questioned. "What kind of trick is this?"

Everyone else looked amazed at this while Anna smiled knowingly as Timmy called, "I can now summon monsters who's levels are 3 all at the same time!"

"Dragon Sorcerers built on the ancient archive! Grant us your boon on your wisdom! Pendulum Summon! Come my monsters!"

The portal shot two monsters.

"Dragon Archivers - Tuloki, and Galycimo!"

Tuloki, and Galycimo revealed themselves waving.

Everyone started whispering and talking to each other about what Timmy just did.

"That's... new." Quattro admitted.

"This is a new summoning called Pendulum Summoning. If you have two Pendulum monsters with different scales you can place them at the farthest ends of your Duel Disk, and they become spells at those zones." Timmy smiled explaining Pendulum Summoning to him, "And if you have monsters in your hand who's levels are in between the scale you can summon them all instantly."

"Well, that's interesting." Quattro smiled.

"Well now next I use the spell Archiving Clone!" Timmy called using the card he used against Kite.


Archiving Clone

Normal Spell Card

Target 1 "Dragon Archiver" monster on the field: Special Summon this card as a Normal Monster with the same Attribute, and Level as that monster. (?/LV ?/Dragon/ATK 0/DEF 0) If a Dragon monster(s) on the field should be destroyed by battle or by card effect, you can banish this card from your GY instead.


"This makes itself a clone of Tuloki!" Timmy called as the spell appeared as a artificial Tuloki.

Archiving Clone: (DARK/LV 3)

"Speaking of Tuloki since I just summoned a monster, his level goes up or down by 1." Timmy added as Tuloki meditated.

Tuloki: (LV: 3 + 1 = 4)

'Two level three monsters, and a useless level four. This won't take long.' Quattro thought with a smirk.

Timmy soon raised his arms, "Now level 3 Galycimo tunes level 4 Tuloki!"

"Now what?" Quattro questioned seeing Galycimo turn into three green rings while Tuloki became four stars. "Just who is this kid?"

(LV: 3 + 4 = 7)

"The Archives of the Dragons focus on studying the holy light of protection! And now the dragon that sleeps in eternal life is ready to guide the Spirits! Synchro Summon! Level 7, Ancient Fairy Dragon!"

What rose was Ancient Fairy Dragon roaring loud crossing her wings in front of her.

Once per turn: You can destroy as many Field Spells on the field as possible, and if you do, gain 1000 LP, then you can add 1 Field Spell from your Deck to your hand.


Quattro's eyes widened in shock seeing the dragon.

"When Tuloki's used to summon a Dragon, I draw!" Timmy drew before adding, "Then Ancient Fairy Dragon's effect activates! By giving up my Battle this turn, I can summon another monster from my hand that's level 4 or lower! So I summon Level 3 Eqailus!"

The Dragon Archiver in his last duel rose up.

You can only activate this effect of "Dragon Archiver - Eqailus" once per turn.


"But he, and the Clone won't stay around cause I overlay them both!" the two glowed flying up into the Overlay Network.

Quattro smirked hearing that. 'Bingo.'

"The Archives of the Dragons focus on studying the dragonic serpents! And now the dragon that sleeps in the darkness is ready to strike at will! Xyz Summon! Rank 3, Materiactor Gigaboros!"

Gigaboros rose up roaring also in Defense Mode.

(ORU: 2)

"For every card in my hand Gigaboros gains 500 attack, and defense points." Timmy explained to Quattro, "I only have 1 card so that's 500."

Gigaboros: (ATK: 500 + 500 = 1000/DEF: 500 + 500 = 1000)

"Only 1000 points, that's kind of weak for an Xyz Monster isn't it?" Quattro inquired.

"Not for long cause at the end of my turn Odd-Eyes' second Pendulum Ability destroys himself so I take a Pendulum Monster who's points are 1500 or less to my hand." Odd-Eyes shattered as Timmy shows the card, "With another card in my hand Gigaboros gains another 500."

Gigaboros: (ATK: 1000 + 500 = 1500/DEF: 1000 + 500 = 1500)

Quattro 2nd Turn:

Quattro drew his card before frowning. 'Oh well, I can have some fun with him either way.' "Alright, I think I'll start things off by discarding another Gimmick Puppet from my hand only this time I'll use Egg Head's other ability and change his level to eight for the rest of this turn."

Gimmick Puppet Egg Head: (LV: 4 + 4 = 8)

"Then, I'll banish Gimmick Puppet Dreary Doll from my graveyard in order to summon a second one from the graveyard in defense mode."

"Now, I'll Overlay my level eight Egg Head and Dreary Doll. With these two monsters, I build the Overlay Network!"

Egg Head, and Dreary Doll both glowed dark shooting up into the Overlay Network before shattering as it materialized the monster he's summoning.

"Appear, Number 15! The envoy from Hell, puppet who pulls the strings of fate... Xyz Summon! Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinder!" Quattro chanted as a massive puppet appeared behind him with a 15 on its headband.


(Attack Position)

Number 15: Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinder

DARK

Rank 8

DEF: 2500

Cannot be destroyed by battle except with "Number" monsters. You can detach 1 Xyz Material from this card; destroy all Xyz Monsters on the field, except this card, and if you do, inflict damage to the controller(s) equal to the combined ATK of their destroyed monsters.


(ORU: 2)

Timmy's eyes widen, 'Whoa... that's a really freaky monster...'

"I activate Giant Grinder's ability, by using one Overlay Unit I can destroy every other Xyz Monster in play, and you take damage equal to their combined attack points." Quattro smirked.

Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinder: (ORU: 2 - 1)

Giant Grinder uses strings from it's fingers at Gigaboros as it struggled being pulled into it's chest as Timmy in shock as grinding wheels in it's chest shredded Gigaboros before a large cannon emerged firing a blast at Timmy who braced himself. (Timmy: 1700/Hand: 2)

'Well so much for defense if he's got that...' Timmy grunted before calling, "Not a bad effect but since Ancient Fairy Dragon's a Synchro Monster, your monster doesn't destroy her!"

"I guess you have a point so I'll end my turn." Quattro mentioned. 'And next turn I'll finish you off for good.'

Quattro's Hand: 3/Field: Number 15: Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinder (Attack Position/ORU: 1), One Set Card

Timmy 2nd Turn:

'Okay, I shouldn't give him another lead if this goes on...' Timmy thought before calling, "Alright draw!" He looked before calling, "And to start, I'll set Scale 8, Dragon Archiver - Renotu to reset the Pendulum Scale!"

Using the card he added from Odd-Eyes it rose up readying.


(Pendulum)

Dragon Archiver - Renotu

DARK

Level 3

Pendulum Scale: 8

Dragon/Pendulum/Effect

ATK: 1400

DEF: 500

Pendulum Effect: "Dragon Archiver" monsters on the field cannot be targeted by your opponent's card effects. Once per turn, if a "Dragon Archiver" monster you control is targeted by an opponent's attack: You can target the attacking monster; negate the attack.

Monster Effect: Once per turn, if you take battle or effect damage: Inflict the same amount of damage to your opponent. If this card is used as Material for a Summon of a Dragon Monster: You can make that summoned monster gain 1000 ATK. You can only activate this effect of "Dragon Archiver - Renotu" once per turn.


"Hold on, if the scale is higher that means he can summon stronger monsters right?" asked someone in the crowd.

"Yeah, I think that's how it works... that's what he said right?" someone else asked.

"That's right." Anna smiled seeing that.

"Now I Pendulum Summon!" the portal shot three monsters, "Let's welcome back Galycimo, Tuloki, and Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!"

Three said dragons rose back on with Odd-Eyes in the lead roaring loud.

Dragon Archiver - Galycimo: (Defense Position)

Dragon Archiver - Tuloki: (Defense Position)

Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon: (Attack Position)

"Hold on, those monsters should be in your graveyard." Quattro pointed out.

"Normally they would but as Pendulum monsters they have another function." Timmy smiled before explaining, "Pendulum Monsters don't go to the graveyard from the field. They go face-up in the Extra Deck where you can Pendulum Summon them again."

"Monsters that can't be destroyed?" Quattro questioned in shock. 'Well that's his last mistake, I didn't expect to need that but I'll wipe him out next turn.'

"And now Odd-Eyes attack Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinder!" Timmy called as Odd-Eyes charged an attack, "Spiral Flame Strike!" Odd-Eyes fired the attack hitting Giant Grinder before he added, "Next Odd-Eyes' own Special Ability doubles any damage you take from battles with him! Reaction Force!"

Odd-Eyes glowed bright as the attack intensified. Quattro's eyes widened as he braced himself only for Giant Grinder to survive.

(Quattro: 2000/Hand: 3)

"Not a bad attack, but only a Number can destroy another Number in battle." Quattro told him.

"I know that." Timmy told him before saying, "But damage is damage."

"I guess that's true, so I'm guessing you're ending your turn?" Quattro inquired.

"I place 1 card down, and end my turn." Timmy ended his turn, 'None of my monsters are Xyz Monsters so his monster can't destroy them. Plus if he tries to attack one of my Dragon Archivers, Renotu's Pendulum ability stops the attack as long as it's able to target, and Dingernell stops any effect that targets a Dragon Archiver. But something tells me I need to stay on guard...'

Timmy's Hand: 1/Field: Dragon Archiver - Dingernell (Pendulum), Dragon Archiver - Renotu (Pendulum), Ancient Fairy Dragon (Defense Position), Materiactor Gigaboros (Defense Position), Dragon Archiver - Galycimo (Defense Position), Dragon Archiver - Tuloki (Defense Position), Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (Attack Position), One Set Card

Quattro 3rd Turn:

Quattro drew his card. "You aren't bad, but against me you're not quite good enough. Though I guess it's only fair I show such a big fan something special. I'll start by activating the Junk Puppet spell card and using it to bring back Dreary Doll in defense mode."


Junk Puppet

Normal Spell Card

Target 1 "Gimmick Puppet" monster in your GY; Special Summon it. You can only activate 1 "Junk Puppet" per turn.


Gimmick Puppet Dreary Doll: (Defense Position)

"Then I'll summon Gimmick Puppet Gear Changer in attack mode."

"And just like the name suggests, my Gear Changer changes gears and becomes the same level as my Dreary Doll!"

The gears changed as it evolved. (LV: 1 + 7 = 8)

Seeing this Timmy soon said, "I think I understand how your Deck works now."

"Well, it's too late for that to help you." Quattro smirked as crest in his hand glowed. "I Overlay my level eight Dreary Doll and Gear Changer! I Xyz Summon, Number 40: Gimmick Puppet of Strings!"

If you do, during the End Phase of the next turn: Destroy the monsters with String Counters, and if you do, inflict damage to the controller(s) equal to the combined original ATK of each of their destroyed monsters.


(ORU: 2)

"Whoa 3000?" Timmy asked amazed, "I didn't expect a monster that strong... And if it's like your earlier monster, it might have an effect that both destroys, and inflicts damage at the same time."

"You're catching on, but first I'll switch Giant Grinder into defense mode." Quattro smirked as his first Xyz glowed.

Number 15: Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinder: (Defense Position)

"Now I'll use one of Number 40's Overlay Units to place a String Counter on every other monster on the field."

Number 40: Gimmick Puppet of Strings: (ORU: 2 - 1)

Strings starts using it's blade as a violin to it's string based body before it's closed eye opened showing a red eye as it raised it's blade where red strings from above attached themselves to Ancient Fairy Dragon, Odd-Eyes, Galycimo, Tuloki, and Giant Grinder itself.

Dragon Archiver - Galycimo: (String Counter: 1)

Dragon Archiver - Tuloki: (String Counter: 1)

Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon: (String Counter: 1)

Ancient Fairy Dragon: (String Counter: 1)

Number 15: Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinder: (String Counter: 1)

Timmy looked over his four monsters that have counters wondering what's gonna happen.

"I think that's enough for now so I'll end my turn." Quattro mentioned. "Your move."

Quattro's Hand: 3/Field: Number 15: Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinder (Defense Position/ORU: 1/String Counter: 1), Number 40: Gimmick Puppet of Strings (Attack Position/ORU: 1)

Timmy 3rd Turn:

'He confirmed that his effect destroys, and deals damage at the same time... but nothing's happening.' Timmy thought, 'Maybe it's during his Standby Phase...? I can't get flustered right now!' "My turn draw!" He drew looking at his drawn card.

Timmy looked before calling, "Okay, I'll be activating the Spell, Archiving Bookmark!"

The spell he used last time appeared.


Archiving Bookmark

Normal Spell Card

Target 1 "Dragon Archiver" on the field: Reveal 1 Fusion monster in your Extra Deck then declare 1 of the Fusion Materials whose name is specifically listed on that card from your Deck to the Graveyard; the targeted monster's name becomes the sent monster's until the End Phase. You can only activate 1 "Archiving Bookmark" once per turn.


"Galycimo now becomes one of the monsters needed to Fusion Summon!" Timmy revealed.

"Seriously?" Quattro questioned hearing that.

"I chose Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight!" Timmy called revealing the monster to him, "Now Galycimo becomes Dark Magician Girl!"

Galycimo: (Name Treated as Dark Magician Girl)

"What's the point of that move?" Quattro questioned.

Timmy only smiled, "Why else would I do this?" He reveals the last card in his hand, "Archiver Fusion!"


Archiver Fusion

Normal Spell Card

Fusion Summon 1 Dragon Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck by using "Dragon Archiver" monsters from your field, hand, or either player's field. During your Battle Phase: If you control two "Dragon Archiver" monsters in the Pendulum Zones; you can banish this card from your GY, and target 1 monster you control: That monster can make a second attack on monsters this turn. You can only activate this effect of "Archiver Fusion" once per turn.


Both his dragons fused together as he chanted, "The Archives of the Dragons focus on studying the magical magician knight! And now the dragon that sleeps in the ancient story is ready to ascend forth! Fusion Summon! Level 7, Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight!"

What rose up was the infamous apprentice of Dark Magician but wearing blue plated armor version of her clothing with a sword instead of her staff while riding a large blue scaled dragon roaring.


(Attack Position)

Dark Magician Girl the Dragon Knight

DARK

Level 7

Dragon/Effect/Fusion

ATK: 2600

DEF: 1700

"Dark Magician Girl" + 1 Dragon monster
Must be Fusion Summoned with the above Fusion Materials or with "The Eye of Timaeus". Once per turn (Quick Effect): You can send 1 card from your hand to the GY, then target 1 face-up card on the field; destroy that target.


Anna smiled seeing the monster.

"And when Tuloki's used to Fusion Summon I draw!" Timmy drew looking.

'Be careful Timmy, I have a bad feeling.' Anna frowned.

"Then Galycimo sends back Clone, and Fusion back to my Deck, and sends my top two cards." he sent the cards before adding, "Then Dark Magician Girl's effect activates! By discarding a card a face-up card on your field is destroyed!"

"It what?" Quattro questioned in shock.

'Which one should I destroy... Can it be his 3000 point monster? Or his other one? Both have immunity to destruction by non-Numbers, and he has higher attack points but he might use his lower monster for something badder... So...' "I destroy Gimmick Puppet Giant Grinder!" Timmy called discarding his drawn card as the Fusion Dragon attacked Quattro's first monster.

Everyone looked surprised hearing that as Giant Grinder shattered.

'Alright, I don't know what he can plan next but I am able to survive his next move.' Timmy thought before calling, "Alright with that I end my-"

"Huh?" Timmy asked before the strings on both Odd-Eyes, and Ancient Fairy Dragon started to reel them into Strings who prepares to attack them as Timmy asked shocked, "What's happening!?"

"You just ended your turn, which means every monster with a String Counter is destroyed and we take damage equal to the total attack points of our destroyed monsters." Quattro told him. "That's 4600 points of damage to your life points."

"So that was the effect it had!' Timmy grunted hearing that, "Well I'm not done yet! I activate the trap, Archiver Explosion!"

A trap showing an experiment showing an explosion popped up with several Dragon Archivers being blown back.


Archiver Explosion

Counter Trap Card

When you take battle or effect damage while you control a Dragon monster Special Summoned from the Extra Deck, or a "Dragon Archiver" monster in your Pendulum Zone(s): Halve that damage, then inflict damage to both players equal to that damage.


"So now when I take damage while I have an Extra Deck Dragon, or a Dragon Archiver in the Pendulum Zone this Counter Trap Card cuts that damage in half!" Timmy called.

"Even halved the damage is more than enough to finish you off!" Quattro smirked.

"I'm not done!" Timmy called before revealing, "We both take both halves of the damage!"

"We what?" Quattro questioned in shock.

Strings slashed the two dragons destroying them both as the strikes charged at Timmy as he cried out being hit while some is deflected to Quattro. He cried out at that.


Timmy: 0000

Hand: 0

Field: Dragon Archiver - Dingernell (Pendulum), Dragon Archiver - Renotu (Pendulum)

Quattro: 0000

Hand: 3

Field: Number 40: Gimmick Puppet of Strings (Attack Position/ORU: 1)

DRAW!


The two landed on the ground defeated as the field faded while everyone watched in stunned silence. Anna ran up to Timmy. "Are you alright?"

He slowly raised up, "That's the last time, I'm gonna assume something like that..."

She nodded helping him up. "Come on, let's head back."

He slowly nodded getting up before bowing to Quattro, "Thanks for allowing me to duel you Quattro. I had fun." With that he, and Anna walked off first heading to a Dentist to have Timmy schedule an appointment.

As they did Quattro was glaring at him before walking off.


Later after Timmy's appointment had been scheduled...

"One week after the tournament, you should take care of your teeth until then." Anna smiled.

He nodded with a smile as they entered Anna's shack where he admitted, "I didn't think that he had more then 1 Number."

"Me either, I didn't expect any to be honest but at least you're ok." she mentioned going him a gentle hug. "I'll start the shower, come in when you're ready."

With that said she walked to the bathroom.

Timmy blushed at this looking down before reaching into the bags of clothing finding the right clothes, and went to the door taking a breath, and asked, "Anna? Are you ready?"

"Yes." she answered.

With that he slowly entered the bathroom with closed eyes.

"Be careful, you might slip so make sure to watch where you're going." Anna warned over the sound of the water.

"Okay." He looked down with opened eyes taking careful steps before placing his clean clothes down, and removed his clothes to the hamper, and placed his new glasses the shelf before saying, "Okay can you show me your hand?"

Anna offer him her hand at that. Seeing it through his blurred vision he takes it carefully stepping into the shower with her. Throughout there shower trip Timmy, and Anna had washed each other a bit while Timmy lets her know that his parents basically forced him to do many things which made his gentleman like nature be formed including forcing to learn about marriage, and other things later on in life threatening to starve him if he tries to skip or ignore them. It made Anna more protective around him, and ultimately decided to do something that can help him get over it which after done washing she turned the water off, and dried together dressing up together.

They laid together on the bed which Anna pulled Timmy close to her with his head against her chest which made him blush, "A-Anna?"

She just hugged him gently. "It's ok now, you're ok Timmy."

He looked up at her as she reached rubbing his head with one hand looking down to him which he snuggled his head, "Y-You don't... you don't care... that your using... those are my pillow?"

"I don't mind." Anna smiled softly before pausing. "Your parents forgot a few important things though, do you mind if I teach you?"

"T-They do?" Timmy looked up at her hearing that.

Anna nodded. "For example just spending time having dinner with someone and getting to know them, or going to a dance together... romantic things like that that make people happy."

Timmy slowly nodded hearing that before burying his face into Anna's chest. Anna blushed slightly at that before gently pushing Timmy back. "It's been a long day though, why don't we get some sleep ok?"

Timmy slowly nodded snuggling against her, "Well... good night Anna."

"Good night Timmy, have sweet dreams." Anna smiled.

She watches as Timmy slowly dozed off against her while she rubs his head softly. Soon he fell asleep softly snoring as she watches.

'Timmy, I promise things will be better for you from now on.' Anna thought before closing her own eyes to get some sleep.


Ulrich362: That bit of help aside... Timmy dueled Quattro to a tie and came pretty close to actually beating him right Bopdog?

bopdog111: Yeah. And we also figured out a little more backstory from him.

Ulrich362: True, he definitely needs a hug... probably one when Anna's clothed but at the time any hug would have probably been good. So, what's up next?

bopdog111: Obviously Quattro is gonna plan a slight grudge on him for that. But now Timmy after his moment with Anna, and winning another match off-screen will meet up with one of your favorite characters, AKA Reginald Shark Kastle.

Ulrich362: Oh, fun. That should be an interesting encounter. See you in the next chapter.

bopdog111: Be sure to review!
