bopdog111: Well we got some honest opinions from you all on why this fic is good.
Ulrich362: True, so thank you for that.
bopdog111: And you guys also requested for Timmy to have all the other Signer Dragons, and their evolutions. I'll say that we will try, but try to remember Timmy uses more then just Synchro so don't expect him to rely on them much.
Ulrich362: Exactly, that said enjoy the chapter.
bopdog111: One other thing. It is involving me, and Ulrich's recent artist friend from Deviantart. StardustLive5 along with doing several of the requests we ask him to do, had done a side work of drawing Timmy. If you all want to see Timmy, be sure to visit StardustLive5's page, and look at it. He has a good talent with art.
Ulrich362: That's true, and thank you again for that.

After that small exchange about Charlie, and getting Lucky Straight back after May's surgery, Timmy was back at the Tsukumo Household to help Haru plant the Garden, he talked about while teaching her a few things for her to try.
"...since the soil around here is rich with nutrients it'll make the veggies, and fruits be better. But to make it more better is by placing the fish around the seed." Timmy said to Haru placing fish on every seed he planted before covering them with dirt, "From my history, the Indian Squanto does this by planting Corn, he said that this is food for the plants making the soil better for them to grow."
"That's a very interesting tip, thank you." Haru smiled.
Timmy was also a head of history by how it seems. He doesn't really value history like this but his parents made him study for their image, and as a result he knows quite a bit of history including the Journey of the Mayflower, and the aftermath after it landed in the USA. He never thought that this knowledge in history would come in handy for every day tasks such as Gardening but he couldn't be prouder of that. He gave a soft chuckle at the irony that his parents actually helped him indirectly.
"I should be able to take care of the rest of the seeds, why don't you get something cold to drink?" Haru offered. "You've been a huge help."
"Oh thanks Grandm-" Timmy quickly covered his mouth with widen shocked eyes from what he nearly called her before he said, "I-I'm so sorry... About that."
"It's fine, I don't mind if you want to call me that." Haru smiled gently. "I remind you of your grandmother don't I?"
Timmy blushed embarrassed looking at her before slowly nodding. She just nodded before gently hugging him. Timmy stood before slowly hugging her back.
"I'm sure your grandmother would be proud of the young man you've become." Haru smiled softly.
Timmy gave a small smile looking away with a embarrassed blush as Anna, and Yuma exit talking before noticing them.
"Huh, oh hey guys." Yuma smiled.
"Oh hi Yuma." Timmy said to him.
"What are you two talking about?" Anna asked curiously.
"Well... I was helping her with the garden, and giving her some advice..." Timmy answered.
"That's sweet of you." Anna smiled.
Timmy smiled back his cheeks a little red at this.
"Actually... are you busy Timmy?" she asked suddenly looking a bit nervous.
"Well... no, I got nothing else." Timmy answered.
Hearing that Anna nodded. "Well, you wanted to meet my family remember?"
Hearing that Timmy looked before he softly smiled nodding before looking nervous, "I... I am nervous, if they'll even like me."
"It isn't you that should be worried." Anna admitted. "Come on, I already called and mentioned I would be stopping by and someone wanted to meet them."
Timmy nodded offering her a hand. She gently took it before they walked off.
Meanwhile with Cathy...
Cathy was in her mansion going over her Deck to prepare for the World Duel Carnival only to notice something nearby.
"Is someone there?" she asked looking up.
She walked over only to notice what looks like a card was there. Curious she picked it up. "What's this?"
The moment she did she started trembling meowing out shuddering before a voice said in her head, "Yes, Cathy... let the Number take hold."
Gasping she tried to drop the card. She however found that her body isn't listening still holding onto the card as it was revealed to be Number 29: Mannequin Cat. She stared at the card before her eyes dulled and it took over completely.
Back with Timmy, and Anna...
They two were together walking to where Anna's family is. They arrived at a small house as Anna looked down uncertainly before walking up to ring the doorbell. They arrived at a small house as Anna looked down uncertainly before walking up to ring the doorbell.
She ringed it as they waited before a boy about a year older then Timmy answered the door. He has red spiky hair and bushy eyebrows. His eyes are teal and the front of his bangs are lined with yellow while wearing a maroon long-sleeved shirt, grey pants and yellow boots with white tongues and grey soles under a purple poncho that is emblazoned with a blue shield shape and green diamonds; two on the lower part of the shield and two smaller ones on each shoulder.
"Hey Allen." Anna mentioned. "Are mom and dad busy?"
"Anna!" the boy, Allen, cried with a smile embracing her quick before looking up, "You had been away for a while sis, I was wondering when you come back."
"Well, it's not just me." Anna admitted while hugging him back. "You're not still mad I ran off? Or I guess... flew off on my rocket?"
"No. I was waiting for when you be back." Allen smiled to her before noticing Timmy with her, "And who's this shrimp?"
"Allen, that shrimp happens to be my boyfriend." Anna scolded him.
"What?" Allen asked shocked, "Boyfriend?"
"I-It's alright Anna. He didn't know, you were going out with me." Timmy tried to defend his girlfriend's little brother.
"I said that in my message." Anna explained.
"Oh well, I didn't believe you at first." Allen sheepishly admitted rubbing the back of his head, "I mean, you spent a lot of time chasing... what was his name again...?" He gives thought before remembering finishing, "Yuya Tsukune, that you don't pay attention to other boys."
Anna blushed at that.
"Allen who's at the door?" a female voice asked.
Who stepped behind Allen was two adults a red haired man wearing a plain white shirt, and torn shorts with a brown haired woman wearing a pearl necklace, and black shoulderless dress with gem earrings.
Seeing the woman's appearance made Timmy frown before turning around as it's reminding him of his own parents. Anna took his and gently squeezed it.
"Anna?" the man asked shocked seeing her.
"It's me dad. I told you guys I was stopping by." she mentioned hesitantly.
The woman looked stern telling her, "You have a lot of explaining to do young lady. Honestly, what we're you thinking taking off like that?"
Anna flinched hearing that.
"I-It wasn't her fault miss." Timmy said to them.
Ignoring Timmy the woman stared at Anna. "Do you have any idea how worried I was? I knew I should have kept a closer eye on you especially after those lies about you attacking other kids at..."
"Can you stop." Anna interrupted with a frown on her face. "This is exactly why I left in the first place."
Timmy was blinking a bit confused over what Anna's mother meant.
"Anna, you know your mother is only trying to help you." her father mentioned.
"By ignoring the truth? We've been over this before, I did attack those other kids for picking on Yuya Tsukune." Anna pointed out. "But instead of believing me, you just assumed it was all a lie and didn't even let me get a word in otherwise."
"Oh you were defending Yuya?" Timmy asked her hearing her.
"Well... not exactly defending him." Anna admitted with a blush. "I mean... anyway, I left because you didn't believe me when I told you what happened. You still don't."
"I didn't raise you to be like that. It's very improper for a lady to attack those kids, and I know you wouldn't do that." her mother told her crossing her arms.
"And how do you know that?" Anna questioned angrily. "You don't know the first thing about me, you just have this picture in your head of what you think I should be!"
"Don't you dare take that tone with me young lady, I'm your mother, you should be following how I think you should be."
Timmy frowned at this, remember his own parents treating him exactly the same like this. He could see Anna getting angrier and angrier listening to that. Seeing that, and deciding he had enough he walked in front of Anna as if defending her from her mother.
"Timmy?" Anna asked in shock seeing that.
"Young man I am speaking with my daughter, this isn't any of your concern." her mother told him.
"I'm afraid it is, I'm her boyfriend." Timmy told her simply.
"What?" her mother glared at her daughter, "Who said you can have a boyfriend? How dare you get a boy without my-"
"Be quiet." Timmy stated simply in a stern voice which shocked all of them.
Everyone looked at Timmy in shock.
"You can't just treat Anna like some sort of personal doll for you to customize to your own views. She has the right to live her own life, your just breathing down her neck, not allowing her to state her own views. I been Anna's boyfriend for a while, and I know that she can defend others, those kids that were picking on Yuya, she attacked them cause she defended Yuya, and she did the same with me whenever I'm in trouble." Timmy started to lecture his girlfriend's mother, "Let Anna live her own life how she wants it, and stay out of it. Your doing nothing but hold her down, but when she left she accomplished much. She got me, friends, and now she's good at Dueling too. So now, treat her like a family should be, your not being a mother to her your being a slave driver."
Anna's parents looked stunned hearing that as Anna looked shocked and touched.
"Whoa... you met someone special." Allen whispered to his sister as she nodded with a smile.
"I know that cause, I have parents the same like you. I used to let them hold me down... But when I met Anna, not anymore." Timmy turned to Anna holding her hand.
Anna blushed slightly before getting up. "Come on, we should head back. You still need a few more Heart Pieces after all."
Timmy nodded as they turned to walk over before Anna's mother called, "Wait!"
"What do you want now?" Anna questioned turning to her.
Her mother was looking guilty before saying, "Anna... I only wanted you to not make the same mistakes I made... I took it too far many times, and I know it'll take time... But I hope you'll forgive me."
Anna's eyes widened before she looked down. "Give me a little time, ok?"
Her mother nodded before Allen asked her sad, "Your leaving again Anna?"
"For now, but... I'll be back Allen." she answered.
Her little brother nodded as they headed off. Soon they were on their own again near Anna's shack.
"Timmy... did you mean that?" Anna asked him.
He turned to her hearing that.
"What you said." she clarified.
"I did... and I meant every word." Timmy answered.
Anna blushed before gently kissing him. Timmy smiled at this kissing her back. Suddenly they heard something meowing. Hearing that they looked seeing a cat as Timmy knelled down, "Hey there, kitty. Did you get lost?"
The cat hissed at him before turning and running off.
"Hey..." Timmy looked surprised at that before turning to Anna, "Cathy was that cat's owner right? Did something happen to her?"
"I don't know, but I have a bad feeling all of a sudden." Anna admitted.
Deciding to investigate they walked together following the cat to Cathy's mansion. They saw the cat walk in the mansion.
"Did you lead him here, very good." a familiar female voice mentioned.
"Miss Cathy?" Timmy asked looking around.
"Come in, I've been expecting you." Cathy's voice answered.
They walked in at this looking around. Suddenly the door slammed shut as they saw hundreds of cats staring at them. Timmy shuddered clinging to Anna, "Anna this is honestly starting to creep me out."
"Oh, not a fan of cats?" Cathy asked getting his attention.
They looked seeing her in her cat costume she often likes to dress up in with a cat mask on. Cathy smirked before snapping her fingers as Anna suddenly froze.
"Huh? Anna?" Timmy asked noticing that.
"Do you like my new mannequin? I certainly do." Cathy smirked. "Now then, you have something I'd like Timmy. So, why don't you hand Number Archive over to me like a good little boy."
"Mannequin? Miss Cathy, what's going on here?" Timmy asked at this.
Suddenly he heard Number Archive's voice in his head, "Timmy, look closely at her arm."
Hearing that Timmy looked at both Cathy's arms for what Number Archive said. Oh her left forearm he saw a 29 glowing brightly.
"A Number!?" Timmy realized in shock.
"Oh you mean this?" Cathy asked revealing her Number.
Number 29: Mannequin Cat

Rank 2
Beast/Effect/Xyz
ATK: 2000
DEF: 900

Cannot be destroyed by battle, except with a "Number" monster. Once per turn: You can detach 1 material from this card, then target 1 monster in your opponent's GY; Special Summon it to your opponent's field. If a monster(s) is Special Summoned to your opponent's field, while you control this monster (except during the Damage Step): You can target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; Special Summon 1 monster with the same Type or Attribute from your hand, Deck, or GY. You can only use this effect of "Number 29: Mannequin Cat" once per turn.
Timmy grunted at this. Cathy's been taken over by a number, and from the looks of things she has him right in her grip. She is under the influence of that Number, and Number Archive stated before that the only way to reason with them is to break their hold which is by defeating them in a duel which is what Timmy needs to do.
So deciding to do that Timmy declared, "Alright, Cathy, I challenge you!"
"Alright, when I win your numbers will be mine, and you'll be a mannequin just like Anna." Cathy told him.
Hearing that Timmy turned to Anna. She was completely frozen not moving. Timmy turned back to Cathy before nodding, "Agreed."
With that they walked up where they are on a balcony for Cathy, and Timmy to start dueling. Just then Timmy's Deck glowed a bit where he looked surprised. Shocked he looked at his cards. Anna slowly blinked being free from Cathy's Number's hold which Timmy cried, "Anna! You alright?"
"What... Timmy?" she asked shaking her head. "What happened?"
"Cathy is under a Number's influence." Timmy answered.
Anna's eyes widened hearing that. "I'm starting to get really sick of those."
"Don't worry, I'll get Cathy free from them." Timmy smiled to her.
"I know you will." Anna smiled.
With that Timmy, and Cathy prepared for their match while Anna watches.
"DUEL!"

Let the duel commence!
Timmy 1st Turn:
"I'll go first." Timmy said to Cathy looking at his hand.
'Be careful, who knows what Cathy has planned.' Anna thought nervously.
Timmy soon said, "And to start, I activate Marketing Archive!"

"With no monsters on the field, I can summon a Level 4 or lower Dragon Archiver from my Deck in Defense Mode to either our fields!" Timmy said looking through his Deck, "And I pick to summon Dragon Archiver - Tuloki to your field!"
At that Tuloki rose up to Cathy's field in Defense.

Anna smiled seeing that.
"Next, I activate the spell, Profiting Archive!" Timmy added using a spell where Kaitoal, and Ustuzul together are selling books with a Thunder Nyan-Nyan checking out a stack of books that looks like it's about to fall over.
(face-up)

"While we both have a Dragon Archiver on the field, all damage we take is cut in half!" Timmy explained to Cathy, "All activated effects that targets a Dragon Archiver is negated, and if a monster is summoned using 1, we can draw a card!"
'That's good, it really helps Timmy's deck.' Anna thought with a smile.
"I place 1 card down, and end my turn." Timmy ends his turn.
Timmy's Hand: 1/Field: Dragon Archiver - Ustuzul (Attack Position), Profiting Archive (face-up), One Set Card
Cathy 1st Turn:
"Then it's my turn, I draw." Cathy drew at this.
"During this Standby Phase, Profiting Archive's effect has me give up 800 points." Timmy added glowing red. (Timmy: 3200/Hand: 1)
Anna frowned seeing that. Cathy looked before grinning slyly, "And to start, I summon Catnipped Kitty!"
At that a blue furred yellow swirled cat with a bell complete with a red ribbon rose up meowing.
(Attack Position)
Catnipped Kitty
EARTH

DEF: 500
This card cannot be attacked if there is another Beast-Type monster on your side of the field. Once per turn, you can make the DEF of 1 monster on your opponent's side of the field 0 until the end of this turn.
"Catnipped Kitty...? That's one of the oldest cards of the game." Timmy said seeing it.
"Something's wrong, be careful." Anna warned him.
Timmy nodded before saying, "Since you summoned a monster, Tuloki's level goes down or up by 1 whichever you choose."
"In that case, I lower his level."
Tuloki: (LV: 3 - 1 = 2)
"Easy way to remove that annoying card's effect to reduce damage." Cathy smirked to Timmy.
"That can only mean one thing." Anna frowned. "She's going to summon it."
Timmy grunted as Cathy raise an arm, "I Overlay level 2 Dragon Archiver - Tuloki, and Catnipped Kitty!"
The two glowed with Tuloki being purple energy, and Catnipped Kitty being brown flying up in the Overlay Network as they watched as the Overlay Network shattered revealing the monster.
"I Xyz Summon! Number 29: Mannequin Cat!"
What lowered down was a little girl that has purple skin with brown bowled hair having purple cat ears with a long white tail with a black tip, and black eyes. She also wears a black dress with a white top, and white buttons with the same scheme on her boots, and gloves with a gold charm with a red ribbon on it. On her left leg was a green 29 as she stared at them.
(Attack Position)
Number 29: Mannequin Cat

You can only use this effect of "Number 29: Mannequin Cat" once per turn.
(ORU: 2)
Timmy and Anna flinched seeing the number.
"And thanks to your spell, I draw." Cathy smirked drawing.
Timmy grunted before calling, "Maybe, but I activated a trap when Tuloki's effect activated."
Surprised Cathy looked seeing, Studying of the Archives is on the field.
(face-up)
Studying of the Archives
Continuous Trap Card
Activate this card when your opponent activates a "Dragon Archiver" monster's effect. All monsters on the field that are Special Summoned using a "Dragon Archiver" monster as material, or that are Ritual Summoned by Tributing a "Dragon Archiver" monster are treated as "Dragon Archiver" monsters. Once per turn, if a player activates the effect of a "Dragon Archiver" monster except to activate this card: Their opponent can draw 1 card, and if that card is a Spell/Trap Card, they can add that card to their hand, otherwise send that card to the GY.
Number 29: Mannequin Cat: (Treated as a Dragon Archiver monster)
'So far so good, but this is far from over.' Anna thought.
Cathy growled like a growling cat, "Fine, this doesn't change anything. Mannequin Cat attack Dragon Archiver - Ustuzul!"
Mannequin Cat charged in destroying Ustuzul but due to Profiting Archive's effect, the damage Timmy would take is halved. (Timmy: 2900/Hand: 1)
"Are you alright?" Anna asked Timmy.
"Yeah. It was just 300 points of damage Anna." Timmy smiled to her to assure her.
"Well now, I play 2 cards face-down." Cathy ends her turn.
Cathy's Hand: 4/Field: Number 29: Mannequin Cat (Attack Position/Treated as a Dragon Archiver/ORU: 2), Two Set Cards
Timmy: 2900
Hand: 1
Field: Profiting Archive (face-up), Studying of the Archives (face-up)
Cathy: 4000
Hand: 4
Field: Number 29: Mannequin Cat (Attack Position/Treated as a Dragon Archiver/ORU: 2), Two Set Cards
Timmy 2nd Turn:
"My turn draw!" Timmy drew before saying, "And like last time, I pay 800 points to keep Profiting Archive on the field." (Timmy: 2100/Hand: 2)
'300 points isn't a lot, but it was still a Number that attacked you.' Anna thought before shaking her head. 'It's fine, he'll be alright.'
Not just that but with Profiting Archive's cost to pay 800 LP every turn, it's gonna deplete his LP hugely. The damage he would take maybe halved where it won't be gone by a large amount but the pricey effect really made Timmy have a slight disadvantage.
Looking Timmy called, "I activate the spell, Dragonscale Archiving!"
(face-up)
Dragonscale Archiving
Continuous Spell Card
When this card activates: Place 2 "Dragon Archiver" monsters with different names from your Deck in your Pendulum Zones.

"When this activates, I place 2 Dragon Archivers in my Pendulum Zones!" Timmy explained to Cathy.
She frowned hearing that.
"And I set 5, Dragon Archiver - Yrollkoll, and Scale, 8 Dragon Archiver - Renotu to set the Pendulum Scale!"
The two Dragons rose up readying.

If this card is used as Material for a Summon of a Dragon Monster: You can draw 2 cards. You can only activate this effect of "Dragon Archiver - Yrollkoll" once per turn.
"So now, I can summon monsters between levels 6, and 7 all at the same time!" Timmy added before calling, "Dragon Sorcerers built on the ancient archive! Grant us your boon on your wisdom! Pendulum Summon! Come my monsters!"
The Pendulum Portal shot one monster.
"The Archives of the Dragons focus on studying the dichromatic eyes! And now the dragon that sleeps in the high account of Pendulum is ready to show all his power! Pendulum Summon! Level 7, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!"
At that his Pendulum ace's eyes glowed before roaring loud.

DEF: 2000

You can only use each Pendulum Effect of "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon" once per turn.
Monster Effect: If this card battles an opponent's monster, any battle damage this card inflicts to your opponent is doubled.
Anna smiled seeing the dragon. Cathy only smirked, "Well too bad little boy. I activate Mannequin Cat's special ability! Soul Puppeteering!"
Mannequin Cat's eyes opened wide glowing purple before ethereal strings appeared form her fingers attaching to Odd-Eyes as it roared struggling against them.
"What's going on?" Anna questioned seeing that.
"Whenever he Special Summons a monster while Mannequin Cat is on the field, I can summon a monster from my hand, field or graveyard, with the same Attribute or Type as what he summons." Cathy explained with a smirk.
"So, a DARK monster or a dragon?" Anna asked.
"First off, I activate the trap card, Disspelling Cat!" Cathy called.
Disspelling Cat
Normal Trap Card
If you control a "Cat" monster: Your opponent sends Spell(s) from their Deck to the GY, equal to the number of monsters on the field. If that "Cat" monster you control is a "Cat" Xyz Monster: You can select what cards to send.
"So now, I can pick what Spells you send to the graveyard equal to the number of monsters on the field which is two." Cathy smirked.
Timmy grunted before revealing his Deck. Cathy placed a hand on her chin giving thought as she looked over before selecting, "Archiver Fusion, and Archiver Ritual."
'And I don't have a card in my GY to use Marketing Archive's second effect.' Timmy grunted as he sent the two.
"Now as for my monster, I pick White-Horned Dragon! Rise on up!"
At that what rose was a red scaled dragon having four legs with 4 white claws with yellow eyes, and a large glowing white horn on it's head roaring.
(Attack Position)
White-Horned Dragon

Level 6
Dragon/Effect
ATK: 2200
DEF: 1400
When this card is Normal or Special Summoned: Target up to 5 Spell Cards in your opponent's Graveyard; banish those target(s), and if you do, this card gains 300 ATK for each card banished by this effect.
Anna never sees this monster but was pretty surprised by it all the same.
"Wait, why do you have a card like that?" she asked in shock. "It's not a cat!"
"Of course not, limiting my Deck only weakens it." Cathy smirked, "And here's why. When this baby is summoned, I can banish up to 5 spells from his graveyard, then my dragon gains 300 attack points for every spell banished by this effect."
Marketing Archive, Archiver Ritual, and Archiver Fusion all vanished from Timmy's graveyard at this as he grunted.
"3100!" Anna cried in shock.
White-Horned Dragon: (ATK: 2200 + (300 * 3) = 3100)
(Cathy: 5000/Hand: 4)
Timmy only said, "And I don't have any way to Fusion, or Ritual Summon anymore... But I won't let that stop me! Studying of the Archive's effect!" The trap glowed, "Anytime you use a Dragon Archiver's effect, I can draw a card, and if it's a spell, or trap card I can add it, if it's a monster it's discarded!"
He drew looking before saying, "I'm keeping this card. Next, I summon Dragon Archiver - Yggdrasil!"
Yggdrasil rose up at this.

"And at my Battle Phase, Yggdrasil's ability gives Odd-Eyes 1000 more attack points!"
Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon: (ATK: 2500 + 1000 = 3500)
"3500!" Cathy cried in shock.
"And now Odd-Eyes get rid of White-Horned Dragon! Spiral Flame Strike!"
Odd-Eyes charged a blast at the stronger dragon. Cathy only smirked, "Shift activate!"
Shift
Normal Trap Card
When your opponent targets exactly 1 monster you control (and no other cards) for an attack, or with a Spell/Trap effect: Target another monster you control that would be an appropriate target; that attack/Spell/Trap now targets the new target.
"So now, the target to your attack is changed to Mannequin Cat!"
Mannequin Cat popped in front of White Horned Dragon as Odd-Eyes blasted the attack striking Mannequin Cat as Cathy grunted stepping back while Timmy looked shocked before saying, "Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon doubles any battle damage it deals when battling a monster. 1500 x 2 is 3000. But the effect of Profiting Archive halves all damage while a Dragon Archiver is on both player's sides so that means the damage Cathy takes is neither less or more."
(Cathy: 3500/Hand: 4)
"And in addition, Mannequin Cat is a Number so your dragon's attack does no damage." Cathy smirked to Timmy brushing her shoulder off as the smoke cleared revealing Mannequin Cat did survived the attack.
"Not good." Anna frowned.
"Your Deck is really passive, and it's letting me threw with a breeze." Cathy smirked to Timmy, "It's pathetic if it can assist me like this."
Timmy grunted before setting a card, "I end my turn."
With the turn's end phase, Yggdrasil's ability is no longer in effect so Odd-Eyes lost his boost.
Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon: (ATK: 3500 - 1000 = 2500)
Timmy's Hand: 0/Field: Dragon Archiver - Renotu (Pendulum), Dragon Archiver - Yrollkoll (Pendulum), Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (Attack Position), Dragon Archiver - Yggdrasil (Attack Position), Dragonscale Archiving (face-up), Profiting Archive (face-up), Studying of the Archives (face-up), One Set Card
Cathy 2nd Turn:
"My turn now draw!" Cathy drew before smirking, "And if you recall, Profiting Archive forces you to pay another bout of 800 points."
Timmy frowned glowing red. (Timmy: 1300/Hand: 0)
"Timmy!" Anna cried nervously seeing how low his points were.
"Next up, I'll get this started by activating Stoic Challenge!" Cathy added.
(Equipped to Number 29: Mannequin Cat)
Stoic Challenge
Equip Spell Card
You can only control 1 "Stoic Challenge". Equip only to a face-up Xyz Monster that has Xyz Material. It gains 600 ATK for each Xyz Material attached to a monster you control, and any battle damage your opponent takes from battles involving it and their monster is doubled, but its effects cannot be activated. During your opponent's End Phase: Send this card to the Graveyard. When this card leaves the field, destroy the equipped monster.
'Stoic Challenge?' Timmy thought in shock remembering that card.
"So now Mannequin Cat gets 600 points for every one of her Overlay Units, and any battle damage, you take that involves both her, and your monster is doubled." Cathy smirked.
Number 29: Mannequin Cat: (ATK: 2000 + (600 * 2) = 3200)
"That's 1600 points of damage." Anna whispered nervously.
Timmy grunted larger staring at this before Cathy called, "And now White-Horned Dragon attack Dragon Archiver - Yggdrasil!"
The Dragon charged in at Yggdrasil before Timmy quickly called, "Dragon Archiver - Renotu's Pendulum ability activates! When you attack a Dragon Archiver on the field, I can negate the attack once per turn!"
Renotu meditated cancelling the attack forcing White-Horned Dragon back.
"But now that effect's used up. Go Mannequin Cat attack Yggdrasil!" Mannequin Cat charged in at Yggdrasil ready to finish this duel.
Timmy grunted, "Got no choice... I activate my face-down, Emergency Provisions!"
Emergency Provisions
Quick-Play Spell Card
Send any number of other Spell/Trap Cards you control to the Graveyard; gain 1000 LP for each card sent to the Graveyard this way.
Anna let out a sigh of relief hearing that.
"So now I send Dragonscale Archiving to the graveyard to gain 1000 points!"
His spell vanished as he glowed. (Timmy: 2300/Hand: 0)
He braced himself as Mannequin Cat destroyed Yggdrasil where he's forced down a knee breathing. (Timmy: 0600/Hand: 0)
"You survived, but not for much longer." Cathy told him.
Timmy tries to get up but only gets back down to a knee breathing heavily a bit. Seeing that Anna ran to him. "Timmy, are you ok?"
"I think so... she's real tough." Timmy admitted to her.
Frowning Anna helped him up. "I'm right here."
"Thanks Anna." Timmy smiled at this.
"Well it's almost over." Cathy smirked placing a card down, "I end my turn."
Cathy's Hand: 3/Field: Number 29: Mannequin Cat (Attack Position/Treated as a Dragon Archiver/Equipped with Stotic Challenge/ATK: 3200/ORU: 2), Stoic Challenge (Equipped to Number 29: Mannequin Cat), White-Horned Dragon (Attack Position/ATK: 3100), One Set Card

Hand: 0
Field: Dragon Archiver - Renotu (Pendulum), Dragon Archiver - Yrollkoll (Pendulum), Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (Attack Position), Profiting Archive (face-up), Studying of the Archives (face-up)
Cathy: 3500
Hand: 3
Field: Number 29: Mannequin Cat (Attack Position/Treated as a Dragon Archiver/Equipped with Stotic Challenge/ATK: 3200/ORU: 2), White-Horned Dragon (Attack Position/ATK: 3100), Stoic Challenge (Equipped to Number 29: Mannequin Cat), One Set Card
Timmy 3rd Turn:
After he drew Timmy said, "Since I can't pay for the cost anymore, Profiting Archive is destroyed." His spell shattered at that.
Anna frowned. 'What can you do now?'
Timmy looked at his drawn card staring at it a bit troubled. From the looks of things, Timmy's drawn card seems to be either a bad card, or a good card which is the only thing he can do for a chance to beat Cathy. Anna frowned before looking at the card.
Graceful Archiving
Normal Spell Card
Target 1 "Dragon Archiver" monster on the field: Make it's ATK 0, also draw 3 cards, and discard 2 cards. During your Main Phase, if the targeted monster is targeted for an attack by a monster Special Summoned from the Extra Deck: You can banish this card from your GY; have the attacking monster gain 1000 ATK or lose 1000 ATK. You can only activate 1 "Graceful Archiving" once per turn.
"It's the only chance you have." Anna whispered.
He nodded before taking a breath, "Here goes. I activate Graceful Archiving!"
A card shows of the angel from Graceful Charity reading a book on a table while Yggdrasil is at the background checking out a book.
Graceful Archiving
Normal Spell Card
Target 1 "Dragon Archiver" monster on the field: Make it's ATK 0, also draw 3 cards, and discard 2 cards. During your Main Phase, if the targeted monster is targeted for an attack by a monster Special Summoned from the Extra Deck: You can banish this card from your GY; have the attacking monster gain 1000 ATK or lose 1000 ATK. You can only activate 1 "Graceful Archiving" once per turn.
Number 29: Mannequin Cat: (ATK: 3200 - 3200 = 0)
Cathy's eyes widened seeing that. Timmy drew three cards before looking at them before discarding two of them, "And I Pendulum Summon! Appear now! Dragon Archiver - Winkalton!"
At that a grey scaled Dragon librarian having on a white robe appeared ready.
(Attack Position)
Dragon Archiver - Winkalton
LIGHT
Level 6
Pendulum Scale: 9
Dragon/Effect/Pendulum
ATK: 2200
DEF: 2000
Pendulum Effect: Negate activated effects that target(s) a "Dragon Archiver" monster on the field except "Dragon Archiver" monsters. When a "Dragon Archiver" monster is destroyed by battle: Inflict 500 damage to your opponent.
Monster Effect: When this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can Tribute this card; Special Summon 2 "Dragon Archiver" monsters from your Extra Deck or GY that are the same Level in Defense Position, but negate their effects. If this card is used as material for a summon of a Dragon Monster: You can banish 1 card from both player's GYs. You can only activate this effect of "Dragon Archiver - Winkalton" once per turn.
"And thanks to his ability, I can summon 2 Dragon Archivers that are the same Level by Tributing this card!" Winkalton vanished as Yggdrasil, and Ustuzul rose in Defense.
Dragon Archiver - Ustuzul: (Defense Position/Effects Negated)
Dragon Archiver - Yggdrasil: (Defense Position/Effects Negated)
"Then I Overlay both Yggdrasil, and Ustuzul!" Timmy called as the two rose up entering the Overlay Network.
"What are you summoning now?" Cathy questioned.
"The Archives of the Dragons focus on studying the treacherous fangs! And now the dragon that sleeps in the pitch black darkness is ready to fight all those foolish enough to oppose it! Xyz Summon! Rank 4, Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon!"
At that what shot up was Dark Rebellion roaring beside Odd-Eyes.
(Attack Position)
(Treated as a Dragon Archiver)
Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon
DARK
Rank 4
Dragon/Effect/Xyz
ATK: 2500
DEF: 2000
2 Level 4 monsters
You can detach 2 materials from this card, then target 1 face-up monster your opponent controls; its ATK becomes half its current ATK, and if it does, this card gains that lost ATK.
(ORU: 2)
Anna smiled seeing the monster.
"I don't think so! I activate the trap, Ridiculing World!" Cathy smirked.
Ridiculing World
Normal Trap Card
Until the end of this turn, all monsters your opponent currently controls gain 100 ATK, also any monster whose ATK is higher than its original ATK cannot attack.
"So now all monsters on your field gains 100 attack points!"
Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon: (ATK: 2500 + 100 = 2600)
Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon: (ATK: 2500 + 100 = 2600)
"My monsters gains points?" Timmy asked confused.
"Then for the rest of this turn, all your monsters who's attack points are higher then their original are not allowed to attack!" Cathy added with a smirk.
Anna's eyes widened in shock. "Then Timmy can't attack at all?"
Timmy grunted looking on, 'Dang it... I got so close... guess this is the end of things...' He lowered his arm down out of options.
He was hoping to use Dark Rebellion with Graceful Archiving to finish things but with that trap in the way, that went down to nothing. He doesn't have a new monster he can summon, and even if he did Mannequin Cat can't be destroyed, and it wouldn't be enough damage. Raising attack points would do no good so the best he can do is either summon a new monster, and attack multiple times, or inflict damage, and then attack but what are the odds he's able to do that?
That answer came to him. His Deck started to glow which surprised the three. Timmy's eyes widened seeing that. Soon what emerged was a single dragon shaping like the two.
"...mmy! Timmy!" Anna's voice cried snapping him back to reality. "Timmy can you hear me?"
"Wha-huh?" Timmy blinked looking around.
"You started staring into space, you scared me." she told him.
"Oh well I..." Noticing a glow in his Extra Deck he checked before widening his eyes, "Whoa... no way..."
"Whatever you summon won't change anything." Cathy told him as the 29 continued glowing. "Just surrender and save us both some time."
Timmy only looked before calling, "I activate Overlaying Archive's effect in the graveyard! By banishing it, and 1 monster from the graveyard, I can make Dark Rebellion be treated as a monster with the same level as Odd-Eyes!"
The cards vanished as his Xyz Dragon glowed.
Dark Rebellion: (LV: 0 + 7 = 7)
"Two level seven monsters." Anna whispered seeing that.
"And now I overlay both Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, and Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon!"
The two dragons flew up glowing purple into the Overlay Network before exploding.
"The Archives of the Dragons focus on studying the black scale of wrath! And now the dragon that sleeps in the anger cloud will eradicate all opposing enemies! Xyz Summon! Charge forward, Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon!"
What show forward above him was a large black, and red dragon with the same eyes as Odd-Eyes, and large wings with two glowing yellow eyes on it's chest, and having a long tail with Dark Rebellion's color scheme on it's body roaring.
(Attack Position)
Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon
DARK

(ORU: 2)
Cathy's eyes widened. "Not bad, but 3000 points aren't enough to beat me and your new monster isn't a Number so Mannequin Cat won't be destroyed!"
Anna wasn't paying attention looking on in shock at the massive dragon in front of her.
"Amazing." she whispered in awe.
"I activate Rebellion Dragon's ability! When Xyz Summoned, using an Xyz Monster as an Overlay Unit, all of your monsters that are level 7 or lower are destroyed, and you lose 1000 points for each one, and Rebellion Dragon can attack 3 times this turn!" Timmy revealed to Cathy holding up three fingers before calling, "Overlord Howling!"
Rebellion Dragon charged an attack at White-Horned Dragon. Cathy's eyes widened as her dragon shattered.
(Cathy: 2500/Hand: 3)
"No, this isn't happening!"
"Now Rebellion Dragon attack Mannequin Cat! Sweeping Static Strike!"
The Dragon roared charging in at the Number. Cathy cried out as her Number was hit by the dragon as she lost the last of her life points.
Timmy: 0600
Hand: 0
Field: Dragon Archiver - Renotu (Pendulum), Dragon Archiver - Yrollkoll (Pendulum), Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon (Attack Position/ORU: 2), Studying of the Archives (face-up)

Field: Number 29: Mannequin Cat (Attack Position/Treated as a Dragon Archiver/Equipped with Stotic Challenge/ATK: 0/ORU: 2), Stoic Challenge (Equipped to Number 29: Mannequin Cat)
Timmy wins!
With the end of the duel Number Archive appeared and absorbed Mannequin Cat. Timmy sighed before collapsing on his knees. Frowning Anna hugged him. "Are you ok? Let's head back and get some rest Timmy."
"I'm alright... I'm just really tired." Timmy admitted to her.
She nodded hugging him again.
